5. Get ready, yo! Now we blow up the hornCopy !req
6. In the silver smoke amidst the frozen cityCopy !req
7. Payback for a dream I've seen so many timesCopy !req
8. My body is frozen in a
memory that I can't shakeCopy !req
9. Slam on the accelerator and deceive myselfCopy !req
10. Broken in the nightCopy !req
11. My eyes become sharperCopy !req
12. All from someone's whimCopy !req
13. It seems like the world will end any minuteCopy !req
14. Break into the night, it's the timeCopy !req
15. With scared eyes, I'm lost in the nightCopy !req
16. Embraced by a falling dreamCopy !req
17. Scared of being alone, missin' my heartCopy !req
18. Even hurting myselfCopy !req
19. Love me so much,
enough that I could fall apartCopy !req
20. If only I could throw everything awayCopy !req
21. And just love youCopy !req
22. Then I know I could face the truthCopy !req
23. —Takumi, it's for you.
—Who's it from?Copy !req
24. Ryosuke Takahashi.Copy !req
25. What?Copy !req
26. Ryosuke...Copy !req
27. Takahashi.Copy !req
28. Less power, but fast!Copy !req
29. He clears the corners faster.Copy !req
30. There's no way my brother will lose to him now!Copy !req
31. A battle?Copy !req
32. —Yeah.
—Is that like a fistfight?Copy !req
33. No, a "battle" is a car race.Copy !req
34. If you don't want to race, just ignore him.Copy !req
35. It's not that I don't want to.Copy !req
36. I may lose to him,Copy !req
37. but I don't want to not race him.Copy !req
38. You still don't think Takumi can win?Copy !req
39. No. I know he's exceptional,
but he's still in high school.Copy !req
40. I wonder how long he'll even
be able to stay in the race.Copy !req
41. The only reason I think Takumi has a chance...Copy !req
42. is that he's Bunta's son.Copy !req
43. The son of that crazy Bunta...Copy !req
44. Keisuke...Copy !req
45. I've been thinking about this for a long time,Copy !req
46. but when I lose a street race...Copy !req
47. —... I'll retire.
—What?Copy !req
48. By the way, there are only two racersCopy !req
49. who I think could beat me one day.Copy !req
50. One of them is you, Keisuke.Copy !req
51. Me?Copy !req
52. And the other is...Copy !req
53. "Act 25: The Last Battle!"Copy !req
54. Takumi!Copy !req
55. Good luck, Takumi!Copy !req
56. I believe in you! I know you can win!Copy !req
57. And I hope you beat Ryosuke TakahashiCopy !req
58. and become the fastest
racing star in Gunma, Takumi!Copy !req
59. Takumi!Copy !req
60. Okay, we got it, Itsuki! Now get off of him!Copy !req
61. You're late.Copy !req
62. It's already 10:00.Copy !req
63. You're still so ignorant.Copy !req
64. I've been waiting for you.Copy !req
65. It's impressive that you've
learned so much techniqueCopy !req
66. at such a young age.Copy !req
67. I've just driven Akina Pass more
than others, so I'm used to it.Copy !req
68. I don't have any special technique.Copy !req
69. I think you are just overestimating me.Copy !req
70. That's interesting.Copy !req
71. I guess you don't really
understand your own potential.Copy !req
72. What?Copy !req
73. You're so unique.Copy !req
74. It'll be nice to sit down
and talk to you someday.Copy !req
75. Big brother...Copy !req
76. Let's get started.Copy !req
77. This should be a fun evening.Copy !req
78. All right! Move your cars!Copy !req
79. Yes, sir!Copy !req
80. Is it all right if we Red Suns run this race?Copy !req
81. Sure.Copy !req
82. Get some guys from Speed
Stars to be officials, too.Copy !req
83. —Got it.
—Iketani, I'll be at the goal.Copy !req
84. All right. Do a good job!Copy !req
85. Keisuke, I'll be at the five hairpins.Copy !req
86. Okay.Copy !req
87. Of course Ryosuke will win, won't he?Copy !req
88. We're going to get our revenge, right?Copy !req
89. Of course we are.Copy !req
90. No matter how fast that guy is,
there's no way my brother will lose.Copy !req
91. You're right. Okay, I'm off!Copy !req
92. Hello, Fujiwara Tofu— Oh, it's you.Copy !req
93. Hey, Bunta. I just got to Akina.Copy !req
94. There's a huge crowd over here.
You'd be amazed if you saw it.Copy !req
95. Yeah, and...?Copy !req
96. So, what do you say?Copy !req
97. Do you think Takumi can win this?Copy !req
98. I hear that his opponent is
Gunma's fastest, a street racing king.Copy !req
99. Who cares?Copy !req
100. If you don't have something
else to say, I'm hanging up.Copy !req
101. Hey, Bunta!Copy !req
102. Wait a minute, Bunta!Copy !req
103. I told you not to hang up!Copy !req
104. All right! How are the corners looking?Copy !req
105. Okay! The first corner is ready whenever.Copy !req
106. Skate Center here.
This straight section looks good.Copy !req
107. The 17th hairpin is ready anytime.Copy !req
108. Five hairpins here.Copy !req
109. No cars around here, and we're ready!Copy !req
110. This is Number Six.Copy !req
111. We've moved all the
spectators' cars. We're ready!Copy !req
112. I'm so nervous!Copy !req
113. My throat is completely dry,Copy !req
114. and my heart is pounding out of control!Copy !req
115. The air around this whole
pass is filled with tension.Copy !req
116. I wonder if Takumi is feeling all right?Copy !req
117. Takumi...Copy !req
118. You're racing against the best.Copy !req
119. It doesn't matter if you lose. Just do your best!Copy !req
120. Come on, Takumi!Copy !req
121. I know you can win this!Copy !req
122. There's no way my brother will lose.Copy !req
123. But something always happensCopy !req
124. in Akina Pass when that Eight-Six is racing.Copy !req
125. Excuse me. What's happening with the race?Copy !req
126. It hasn't started yet.Copy !req
127. Oh, I see. Thank you.Copy !req
128. This is the starting line.Copy !req
129. How does it look at the finish line?Copy !req
130. Yeah... we're ready here anytime.Copy !req
131. Okay! Let's get going!Copy !req
132. Hold on a minute!Copy !req
133. Let me do the countdown.Copy !req
134. Just for this race. Okay?Copy !req
135. I have to do the countdown for this raceCopy !req
136. between my big brother
and the Eight-Six myself.Copy !req
137. I'm starting the countdown!Copy !req
138. Five... Four...Copy !req
139. Three... Two... One...Copy !req
140. Go!Copy !req
141. Go, Takumi!Copy !req
142. All right! Takumi's going right by him!Copy !req
143. Takumi is ahead of him now!Copy !req
144. Takumi! Keep going!Copy !req
145. That's my big brother's strategy.Copy !req
146. He always lets them get ahead at first,
and then catches them later.Copy !req
147. That's how he's been winning his races.
His "fastest racer" theory can't go wrong!Copy !req
148. They're both amazing!
Extremely close twin drifts!Copy !req
149. Using that much drift isn't
Ryosuke Takahashi's style at all!Copy !req
150. What a show, right from the beginning!Copy !req
151. Even Ryosuke Takahashi
started using drift right away!Copy !req
152. I bet he wants to beat Takumi
using Takumi's specialty,Copy !req
153. just to show the willpower
of a street racing king!Copy !req
154. Takumi is doing great, too!
This is going to be an amazing race.Copy !req
155. Wow, Takumi! You've got to win! Go Takumi!Copy !req
156. Right, Iketani?Copy !req
157. Um... right...Copy !req
158. How impressive...Copy !req
159. The Eight-Six has never driven like this before.Copy !req
160. I knew it. He has improved!Copy !req
161. He uses very little
counter-steering as he stabilizesCopy !req
162. in the final moment of drift.
That hasn't changed.Copy !req
163. But he counter-steers less
right after a turn-in maneuver.Copy !req
164. I don't understand.Copy !req
165. It hasn't been that long since the last race,Copy !req
166. and his weakness is already gone.Copy !req
167. He is improving in every race.Copy !req
168. I need to change the scenario a bit...Copy !req
169. but that's all.Copy !req
170. The result will be the same.Copy !req
171. My "fastest racer" theory is invincible!Copy !req
172. Hey, Takeshi...Copy !req
173. Let me just tell you that I didn't park
here just because your car was here.Copy !req
174. Don't you make any mistake about that.Copy !req
175. I was planning to park here
before I even arrived.Copy !req
176. Why don't you go away?Copy !req
177. No way! I also knew that this was
the only spot to watch the race.Copy !req
178. You're the one who should go away.Copy !req
179. All the beginners usually want to
watch it from such obvious places...Copy !req
180. like the five hairpin curves.Copy !req
181. Right.Copy !req
182. The race isn't decided in a spot like that.Copy !req
183. This is the only point where
they could go for the win.Copy !req
184. So, that's what you think too, huh?Copy !req
185. Let me just say that you're impressive.Copy !req
186. You, too.Copy !req
187. So, this place is really deserted, huh?Copy !req
188. If someone sees us here,Copy !req
189. they'll think we're friends.Copy !req
190. Shoot! How annoying!Copy !req
191. Here they come!Copy !req
192. Whoa! They're both getting
so close to the guardrail!Copy !req
193. Oh, my god! That was amazing!Copy !req
194. Whoa! What am I waiting for?Copy !req
195. I've got to tell him.Copy !req
196. How annoying...Copy !req
197. —Hello, Fujiwara...
—Hey, Bunta! Are you listening?Copy !req
198. Heck, it's you again.Copy !req
199. Listen hard!Copy !req
200. They just passed in front of me.Copy !req
201. They were both drifting very hard,Copy !req
202. with Takumi's Eight-Six aheadCopy !req
203. and the FC right behind him.Copy !req
204. Takumi was ahead?Copy !req
205. That's not good...Copy !req
206. Not good? Why?Copy !req
207. Calm down a little, Yuichi.Copy !req
208. It's more advantageous to chase
the other car than to run from it.Copy !req
209. That's common sense.Copy !req
210. That's true.Copy !req
211. The rear driver can study the course
and rhythm of the other driver.Copy !req
212. If he's skilled enough,
he can also copy the driving.Copy !req
213. But maybe he can also just drive away.Copy !req
214. The driver in front is
under tremendous pressure.Copy !req
215. Having another car follow
you at the same speedCopy !req
216. gradually pushes you into a mental corner.Copy !req
217. The harder you try to get away,
and the longer you're followed,Copy !req
218. the more threatening your opponent seems.Copy !req
219. On top of that, Takumi is still
new to such racing tactics.Copy !req
220. I'm sure he's really freaking out by now.Copy !req
221. You think so?Copy !req
222. Anyway, I'll give you a call
later with the outcome.Copy !req
223. All right.Copy !req
224. That boy... Will he lose?Copy !req
225. Maybe not...Copy !req
226. Here they come!Copy !req
227. This is incredible!Copy !req
228. This is the 24th corner.Copy !req
229. The Eight-Six and
Ryosuke's FC just passed here.Copy !req
230. We've checked the time, and it's just amazing!Copy !req
231. If they hold this pace, they'll break
the Eight-Six's course record...Copy !req
232. by seven or eight seconds!Copy !req
233. Anyway, that's my report.Copy !req
234. Seven to eight seconds faster
than when I raced against him?Copy !req
235. Give me a break!Copy !req
236. Is this what happens when my
big brother gets really serious?Copy !req
237. This is starting to get scary.Copy !req
238. This race is going to become legendary.Copy !req
239. It looks like Takumi is still in the lead!Copy !req
240. All right! He can win this thing, right, Iketani?Copy !req
241. Yeah. But I wonder how
long he can keep this up?Copy !req
242. —What?
—That's Ryosuke Takahashi he's racing against.Copy !req
243. I'll be happy if Takumi can
just finish this race safely.Copy !req
244. I'm going at full power,
and he's right on my tail!Copy !req
245. No matter how fast I go, I still can't get away!Copy !req
246. It's no good... I might lose this race.Copy !req
247. Ryosuke Takahashi...Copy !req
248. I can't even compare to such a great racer!Copy !req
249. I really don't want to...Copy !req
250. but I'm going to lose!Copy !req
251. There was a time when I
wandered aimlessly, tired of loveCopy !req
252. I lost sight of myself and gave in to desireCopy !req
253. But destiny is ever-changingCopy !req
254. And charmed by innocent eyesCopy !req
255. Bloom like a red rose,
I hold you ever so tightlyCopy !req
256. All I can say is that I believe
my feelings are trueCopy !req
257. Let's enjoy our happiness...Copy !req
258. Into our shining futureCopy !req
259. We'll prove countless times...Copy !req
260. Our passion will last for eternity!Copy !req
261. Bloom like a red rose,
I embrace you ever so tightlyCopy !req
262. Even if I lose everything that I have,
I will never let you goCopy !req
263. Bloom, my beautiful...Copy !req
264. and miraculous flowerCopy !req
265. —You know...
—I don't want to lose.Copy !req
266. —Fujiwara Tofu...
—This race...Copy !req
267. —His sense for drift...
—I don't want to lose!Copy !req
268. Ryosuke, I...!Copy !req
269. —Takumi, go!
—You can't lose...Copy !req
270. Just like that!Copy !req
271. Keep going!Copy !req
272. Win!Copy !req
273. Heading towards the conclusion
of this emotional race...Copy !req
274. Next on Initial D: "The New Downhill Legend!"Copy !req
275. Don't miss it!Copy !req
