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. I'm going at full power,
and he's right on my tail!Copy !req
24. No matter how fast I go, I still can't get away!Copy !req
25. It's no good.Copy !req
26. I might lose this race!Copy !req
27. Ryosuke Takahashi...Copy !req
28. I can't even compare to such a great racer!Copy !req
29. I'm going to lose!Copy !req
30. "Act 26: The New Downhill Legend!"Copy !req
31. Amazing!Copy !req
32. I'm getting goose bumps.Copy !req
33. He's following such a perfect line.Copy !req
34. If I weren't right behind him,
copying his every move,Copy !req
35. it would have been almost
impossible for me to do this.Copy !req
36. Beginners can drive fast on a straight line.Copy !req
37. Intermediate drivers can master corners.Copy !req
38. But truly advanced drivers
find their own course,Copy !req
39. and that's how they get ahead.Copy !req
40. To find that ultimate courseCopy !req
41. is the main objective of
my "fastest driver" theory.Copy !req
42. I can't believe I've found
the best example of my theoryCopy !req
43. on such an occasion, after
searching for it for so long.Copy !req
44. What amazing talent.Copy !req
45. —Here they come!
—Which one is it?Copy !req
46. Ryosuke Takahashi or the Eight-Six?Copy !req
47. Whoa! What intensity!Copy !req
48. How impressive!Copy !req
49. It's no good! I can't widen the lead!Copy !req
50. All right! They're coming!Copy !req
51. Just the sound of it gives me shivers!Copy !req
52. Since the straight section before
the five hairpins is quite long,Copy !req
53. I bet there'll be some hard braking.Copy !req
54. Here they come! The Eight-Six is in front!Copy !req
55. Ryosuke!Copy !req
56. Entrance to the five hairpins here.Copy !req
57. I can see both cars now.
The Eight-Six is leading!Copy !req
58. Wow, the Eight-Six?Copy !req
59. Too much speed. He messed it up.Copy !req
60. Damn it! Turn!Copy !req
61. He could have powered through itCopy !req
62. and brought it back if he were
driving a more powerful car.Copy !req
63. But how reckless to try it with an Eight-Six!Copy !req
64. Ryosuke's FC took the lead!Copy !req
65. What?Copy !req
66. When the Eight-Six over-acceleratedCopy !req
67. and under-steered, Ryosuke passed it!Copy !req
68. The Eight-Six under-steered?Copy !req
69. He's just amazing!
Ryosuke is in a class by himself!Copy !req
70. Now I am totally sure that
Ryosuke is going to win!Copy !req
71. Such a strange guy...Copy !req
72. What an unexpected weakness!Copy !req
73. I was planning to stay
behind him a little longerCopy !req
74. so I could hide my strengths.Copy !req
75. Now that I'm in front, I don't
want him to get right behind me,Copy !req
76. so before he recovers, I'd better widen the gapCopy !req
77. and guarantee myself the win.Copy !req
78. The FC just passed us.Copy !req
79. The Eight-Six is a little behind.Copy !req
80. Ryosuke's time is amazing!Copy !req
81. He could beat the course record
by almost twelve seconds!Copy !req
82. Twelve seconds?Copy !req
83. The race is over.Copy !req
84. My brother will just widen the gap now.Copy !req
85. Just hearing about it gives me chills.Copy !req
86. Even if he loses, it won't
hurt Takumi's reputation.Copy !req
87. It's just that Ryosuke Takahashi
is simply incomparable!Copy !req
88. Wait a minute. The race isn't over yet!Copy !req
89. I still believe that Takumi
can come back and win.Copy !req
90. But...Copy !req
91. He always has, hasn't he?Copy !req
92. No matter how bad it's looked,
he's always come back and won.Copy !req
93. I am sure he can do it again!Copy !req
94. Please get to the bottom safely!Copy !req
95. Don't do anything crazy, Takumi!Copy !req
96. The merit of a light and compact
rotary engine is not the power,Copy !req
97. but the agility you get from an
ideal front-back weight distribution.Copy !req
98. I just love the consistent
spirit of the rotary engine.Copy !req
99. Even if I have to put my pride on the line,Copy !req
100. the rotary engine can't fall behind
the Eight-Six on the corners!Copy !req
101. Whoa!Copy !req
102. Aren't Ryosuke Takahashi and Takumi great?Copy !req
103. The drift punks around here don't
even come close to that speed.Copy !req
104. Sayuki, what's going to happen in this race?Copy !req
105. It's impossible to pass
Ryosuke once he's in front.Copy !req
106. But it's Takumi he's racing against!Copy !req
107. Takumi hasn't given up yet.Copy !req
108. The lines he chooses are better than the FC's.Copy !req
109. You can tell he's driven Akina Pass a lot.Copy !req
110. I thought he would be way
ahead once he passed me!Copy !req
111. I still have a chance!Copy !req
112. I'm getting closer!Copy !req
113. The gap is narrowing!Copy !req
114. Shoot!Copy !req
115. All of a sudden, my front tires
aren't sticking to the road.Copy !req
116. Could it be heat wear?Copy !req
117. Following and copying the Eight-Six's drivingCopy !req
118. might have put more strain on
the front tires than I expected.Copy !req
119. The Eight-Six is getting closer...Copy !req
120. Isn't he having any problems with his tires?Copy !req
121. A little wear on the tires won't
affect my technique, though.Copy !req
122. I can't catch him like this.
I need to get closer all at once!Copy !req
123. Darn it! Is this my limit?Copy !req
124. Should I try that thing?Copy !req
125. The "other gutter driving" that
my dad talked about that time?Copy !req
126. Oh, good job.Copy !req
127. Hey, Dad. I think I found a good trickCopy !req
128. to avoid skidding on a
curve in snowy weather.Copy !req
129. You hook the tires on one side
into the gutter next to the road.Copy !req
130. You can corner so easily, it's like a joke.Copy !req
131. "Gutter driving," huh?Copy !req
132. I use that technique often, too.Copy !req
133. Shoot. You use it too, huh?Copy !req
134. Takumi. There are two ways to
use the gutters in Akina's roads.Copy !req
135. The method you discovered is to
use the gutter as you enter the cornerCopy !req
136. so you can prevent under-steering.Copy !req
137. There's another one. This one
emphasizes recovery after a corner.Copy !req
138. The timing for getting both in
and out of the gutter is different.Copy !req
139. It's pretty tough. Try and
figure it out for yourself.Copy !req
140. I haven't tried it yet.Copy !req
141. It's a big gamble. Should I try it?Copy !req
142. Okay. Here I go!Copy !req
143. What did he just do?Copy !req
144. What the heck did he just do?Copy !req
145. It sounds like they're coming, Shingo.Copy !req
146. Judging from the skidding sound,Copy !req
147. they must be very close to each other.Copy !req
148. Just as I expected!Copy !req
149. This is the only spot where
they can go for the win.Copy !req
150. The straightaway lets you
speed up for the braking to come.Copy !req
151. Unlike the rest of the
narrow mountain pass road,Copy !req
152. this corner has three lanes,
so you can choose your own line.Copy !req
153. On top of that, this is a compound
corner where two R's overlap.Copy !req
154. The finish line is right over there.Copy !req
155. This has to be the point
where they go for the win.Copy !req
156. The one who leads after this corner
is the one who wins the race!Copy !req
157. Here they come!Copy !req
158. Wow! The FC is in front!Copy !req
159. The Eight-Six is right behind him!Copy !req
160. What will they do?Copy !req
161. There's no way to pass from the outside!Copy !req
162. Go inside!Copy !req
163. Inside? Or outside?Copy !req
164. Outside?Copy !req
165. Ryosuke didn't leave any room on the inside!Copy !req
166. There was no way to go inside!Copy !req
167. Whoa! The FC is in front!Copy !req
168. The inside has the absolute advantage!Copy !req
169. The FC is skidding to the outside
of the curve! Is this for real?Copy !req
170. He's going way too fast
to get out of the curve!Copy !req
171. No way!Copy !req
172. Their lines will cross!Copy !req
173. Here they come!Copy !req
174. Here they are!Copy !req
175. No way!Copy !req
176. I can't believe Ryosuke Takahashi is losing!Copy !req
177. That's Takumi's car!Copy !req
178. Takumi...Copy !req
179. It's the Eight-Six! The Eight-Six won!Copy !req
180. I can't believe it! On top of that,Copy !req
181. he set an amazing course record!Copy !req
182. My big brother has lost.Copy !req
183. The legend of the unbeatable man is over.Copy !req
184. Banzai! Takumi won! The Eight-Six won!Copy !req
185. Hooray!Copy !req
186. Whoopee! He did it!Copy !req
187. Banzai! Banzai!Copy !req
188. Hey! Are you listening, Bunta?Copy !req
189. Takumi has won!Copy !req
190. Don't get so excited. Of course
he won. That's no surprise.Copy !req
191. He set an amazing course record, too!Copy !req
192. Right, right. Okay, then. I'm hanging up.Copy !req
193. That guy!Copy !req
194. So he won...Copy !req
195. That Takumi...Copy !req
196. We've just seen one heck of a race.Copy !req
197. I'm still in a state of shock.Copy !req
198. Wow!Copy !req
199. Hey, Shingo! Get farther away from me!Copy !req
200. If someone sees us, they'll think we're friends.Copy !req
201. You get away!Copy !req
202. Takumi did it! He beat Ryosuke Takahashi.Copy !req
203. —That is so cool!
—Yeah.Copy !req
204. Maybe I'll ask Takumi out again!Copy !req
205. What?Copy !req
206. Why don't you ask that guy out too, Mako?Copy !req
207. What was his name?Copy !req
208. Let's see...Copy !req
209. —Iketani?
—Right! That's him!Copy !req
210. There's still a chance!
Let's go on a double date!Copy !req
211. Um, there's one thing I want to ask...Copy !req
212. Do you mind?Copy !req
213. How come you waited for me
to take charge in the race?Copy !req
214. You think I slowed down on purposeCopy !req
215. in the last half of the race? No way.Copy !req
216. But then why...?Copy !req
217. You must have picked up your pace a notch.Copy !req
218. I tried my best not to slow down,Copy !req
219. but my front tires were acting strange.Copy !req
220. —Tires?
—But I can't use tires as an excuse...Copy !req
221. Conditions were the same for
both of us, and I clearly lost.Copy !req
222. I, uh...Copy !req
223. I don't think that I'm a faster
driver, or anything like that.Copy !req
224. You really are weird.Copy !req
225. I've never met anyone like you before.Copy !req
226. Don't be content with winning
on a small stage like Akina.Copy !req
227. Turn your gaze towards
the bigger world out there.Copy !req
228. Takumi Fujiwara... you were very fast.Copy !req
229. See you around.Copy !req
230. I open a window to the dawn skyCopy !req
231. And your bare skin almostCopy !req
232. liquid in the soft breezeCopy !req
233. Gently I draw you to me, and with each kissCopy !req
234. —It's autumn already.
—Yeah.Copy !req
235. My heart trembles like I can hardly believeCopy !req
236. Should we head back, Takumi?Copy !req
237. Sure.Copy !req
238. The passionate thrill brimming over withinCopy !req
239. This car is small but very fast.Copy !req
240. Knocks on a rusty doorCopy !req
241. I think it's really cool. I like it after all.Copy !req
242. Bloom like a red rose,Copy !req
243. I hold you ever so tightlyCopy !req
244. I want to show you howCopy !req
245. I feel with my whole bodyCopy !req
246. Let me get drunk onCopy !req
247. this love, miraculous flowerCopy !req
248. T... Takumi!Copy !req
249. Let me get drunk onCopy !req
250. this love, miraculous flowerCopy !req
251. There was a time when ICopy !req
252. wandered aimlessly, tired of loveCopy !req
253. You've gotten another challenge!Copy !req
254. I lost sight of myself and gave in to desireCopy !req
255. This time it's really bad. Oh, man!Copy !req
256. But destiny is ever-changingCopy !req
257. And charmed by innocent eyesCopy !req
258. Bloom like a red rose,Copy !req
259. I hold you ever so tightlyCopy !req
260. All I can say is that I believeCopy !req
261. my feelings are trueCopy !req
262. Let's enjoy our happiness...Copy !req
263. Into our shining futureCopy !req
264. We'll prove countless times...Copy !req
265. Here. Now get going.Copy !req
266. In half a year or so,Copy !req
267. I might become a better driver than you, Dad.Copy !req
268. Our passion will last for eternity!Copy !req
269. Nonsense.Copy !req
270. I'm still better than a baby like you.Copy !req
271. Bloom like a red rose,Copy !req
272. ever so strongly and vividlyCopy !req
273. I want to show you even moreCopy !req
274. how I feel with my whole bodyCopy !req
275. Bloom like a red rose,Copy !req
276. I embrace you ever so tightlyCopy !req
277. Even if I lose everything that I have,Copy !req
278. I will never let you goCopy !req
279. Bloom, my beautiful...Copy !req
280. and miraculous flowerCopy !req
281. The big world out there...Copy !req
