57. Iketani! Hey! Where'd Iketani go?Copy !req
58. Iketani?Copy !req
59. Oh, you mean Iketani, whose terrifying
screams echoed across Mt. AkinaCopy !req
60. as he rocketed down the dangerous
three-corner road and passed out!Copy !req
61. That Iketani just left on a delivery.
He took the pickup truck.Copy !req
62. Oh... If Iketani's not here,
then maybe you can help, Takumi.Copy !req
63. Could you deliver some papers
to the Yamada shop for me?Copy !req
64. You can take my car.Copy !req
65. Uh, sure.Copy !req
66. Hey, boss. Um...Copy !req
67. You know, I have a license, too.Copy !req
68. Why do you always ask Iketani
and Takumi to run errands?Copy !req
69. Well, you see... put your hand on
your chest and tell me what you feel.Copy !req
70. —Now do you understand?
—No...Copy !req
71. Simply put, I can trust
Iketani and Takumi to drive.Copy !req
72. As for you, though...Copy !req
73. you'd bring my car back with a
dent the size of your caved-in chest.Copy !req
74. Well, there you have it.Copy !req
75. You just wait and see.Copy !req
76. Once I get my own Eight-Six,
I'm gonna be the fastest racer around...Copy !req
77. Whoa, an R32!Copy !req
78. Welcome, sir!Copy !req
79. What a ride! The R32's the bomb!Copy !req
80. N-Night Kids!Copy !req
81. Hey, kid. My name's Nakazato.Copy !req
82. Someone back on my turf
told me I could contactCopy !req
83. a member of the Speed Stars at this station.Copy !req
84. Tell me this. When can I find
that Eight-Six at Akina?Copy !req
85. Do you understand what I'm saying?Copy !req
86. Aren't you a member of the Speed Stars?Copy !req
87. Me... a member of the Speed Stars... Cool...Copy !req
88. I guess I came to the wrong place.Copy !req
89. Wait! No, you're at the right place!Copy !req
90. Actually, that Eight-Six guy and me,
we're down like brothers.Copy !req
91. What?Copy !req
92. Yeah, people call us the Eight-Six Duo.Copy !req
93. We're the fastest down-hillers on our team.Copy !req
94. Really?Copy !req
95. Yeah, well... actually, he may be
a bit faster than me, but still...Copy !req
96. I didn't know anyone on the
Speed Stars could race at that level...Copy !req
97. Yeah, um... Well, never mind that.Copy !req
98. Say, I can deliver him a message if you want.Copy !req
99. After all, he's my bro.Copy !req
100. All right. Tell him this.Copy !req
101. 10 o'clock this Saturday night.Copy !req
102. 10 o'clock this Saturday night...?Copy !req
103. Nakazato of the Night Kids will be
waiting for him on top of Mt. Akina.Copy !req
104. Waiting on top of Mt. Akina... What?Copy !req
105. It'll be a race to the bottom!Copy !req
106. Wait! That's a... Hey!Copy !req
107. Uh, you know... Wait a second, please!Copy !req
108. Hey, wai...Copy !req
109. Oh, now I've really done it!Copy !req
110. Did he just challenge Takumi?Copy !req
111. Oh, no! What am I going to tell Takumi?Copy !req
112. Takumi!Copy !req
113. What are you all panicked about?Copy !req
114. Never mind that.Copy !req
115. Say, if you're free this Saturday,
you want to go racing at Mt. Akina?Copy !req
116. —No.
—Why not?Copy !req
117. Sorry, but I don't drive a car
unless it's absolutely necessary.Copy !req
118. Takumi!Copy !req
119. Thanks a lot. Come on in and have some coffee.Copy !req
120. Okay.Copy !req
121. Hey!Copy !req
122. Not good. This is not good.Copy !req
123. See you tomorrow.Copy !req
124. Hey, Takumi.Copy !req
125. Let me ask you something.Copy !req
126. Suppose—just suppose—a racer
were to challenge you to a race.Copy !req
127. You'd accept, of course, right?Copy !req
128. No way. I'm not into that scene.Copy !req
129. What? Don't say that!Copy !req
130. What's it matter to you?Copy !req
131. Um... well... uh... That's beside the point.Copy !req
132. You know, if a racer receives a challenge,Copy !req
133. he has to stand up and accept it!Copy !req
134. Well, that may be true for a racer.Copy !req
135. But I'm no racer.Copy !req
136. No racer?Copy !req
137. Besides, being forced to accept
challenges just isn't my thing.Copy !req
138. Not good. This is definitely not good...Copy !req
139. What'll I do?Copy !req
140. Only two more days to go.Copy !req
141. Eight-Six, Ryosuke Takahashi,
your days are numbered.Copy !req
142. I'll show you who's number one!Copy !req
143. Iketani!Copy !req
144. You accepted a challenge from
the Night Kids of Mt. Myogi?Copy !req
145. Why were you keeping something
that big a secret from us?Copy !req
146. I don't know what you're talking about.Copy !req
147. It's no use trying to deny it.Copy !req
148. The word's out all over town.Copy !req
149. Eight-Six and R32 going at it on the downhill!Copy !req
150. Eight-Six? That's news to me!Copy !req
151. What? The word is, Nakazato came
to this gas station in personCopy !req
152. to issue the challenge!Copy !req
153. Takumi. Have you heard anything about this?Copy !req
154. No, not a word.Copy !req
155. No one knows about this? What's going on?Copy !req
156. S-Sorry!Copy !req
157. Itsuki... you didn't...Copy !req
158. I... I accepted the challenge!Copy !req
159. Please forgive me!Copy !req
160. Yesterday, Nakazato of the
Night Kids really came here.Copy !req
161. He came by when Iketani
and Takumi were out. I...Copy !req
162. I couldn't help but pretend to be
a member of the Speed Stars...Copy !req
163. and before I knew what was happening...Copy !req
164. he had already issued
the challenge and driven off.Copy !req
165. Why didn't you tell us about this before?Copy !req
166. I was going to tell you, I swear.
I was just waiting for the right moment.Copy !req
167. Takumi, I'm sorry. I messed up.Copy !req
168. Please forgive me!Copy !req
169. It's a bit late now...Copy !req
170. Forgive me... Please forgive me...Copy !req
171. Looks like the R32's out again tonight.Copy !req
172. He's racing against the
Eight-Six tomorrow night, right?Copy !req
173. I'm definitely going to watch that!Copy !req
174. If Nakazato of the Night Kids
is challenging the Eight-SixCopy !req
175. that beat Keisuke Takahashi,Copy !req
176. there's no way we can miss that!Copy !req
177. On the surface it may seem like a raceCopy !req
178. between the Speed Stars and the Night Kids,Copy !req
179. but it's really a battle
between Nakazato's prideCopy !req
180. and the pride of the Red Suns'
Takahashi Brothers!Copy !req
181. No matter how the race turns out,Copy !req
182. Ryosuke Takahashi's not going
to just sit back and watch.Copy !req
183. The summer nights are
starting to heat up already!Copy !req
184. Oh, man...Copy !req
185. What are we going to do?Copy !req
186. Everyone around town's
talking about this race.Copy !req
187. It's too late to back out now.Copy !req
188. Maybe I'd better ask Takumi to race.Copy !req
189. Even Takumi might not have
what it takes to go against the R32.Copy !req
190. That Night Kid Nakazato is as famous
a racer as the Takahashi Brothers...Copy !req
191. It'd be a tough battle. It might
even be over from the get-go.Copy !req
192. On second thought, maybe I
shouldn't ask him after all.Copy !req
193. There you go.Copy !req
194. Hey... Dad.Copy !req
195. Is an R32 any good?Copy !req
196. R32? Yeah... That's a fast car...Copy !req
197. Could you win? In a downhill...Copy !req
198. against the R32?Copy !req
199. Yeah. I'd win against any
car I raced, R32 or not.Copy !req
200. Do you think... I can win?Copy !req
201. I don't know...Copy !req
202. It'd be a close race.Copy !req
203. Why are you asking?Copy !req
204. You gonna race an R32?Copy !req
205. No...Copy !req
206. I'm... I'm just asking...Copy !req
207. See ya.Copy !req
208. "Fujiwara Tofu Shop"Copy !req
209. Now it's against an R32...Copy !req
210. I'd better adjust the Eight-Six's settings...Copy !req
211. It'd be a close race.Copy !req
212. I thought I'd find you if I
came here around this time.Copy !req
213. It was about this time the night I first met you.Copy !req
214. So you're going against Nakazato
from the Night Kids, huh?Copy !req
215. You're the talk of the town.Copy !req
216. For your information, I don't
recall accepting that challenge.Copy !req
217. What?Copy !req
218. He came to challenge me while I was away.Copy !req
219. I don't intend to race him.Copy !req
220. What do you mean you
don't intend to race him?Copy !req
221. Night Kid Nakazato issued a
personal challenge to you, right?Copy !req
222. Why don't you just accept it?Copy !req
223. Show him who's the fastest! You can beat him!Copy !req
224. Why does it matter to you?
This is between him and me.Copy !req
225. No, it's not just between you two!Copy !req
226. It's because you beat me!Copy !req
227. If you lose to anyone, it's gotta
be to the Takahashi Brothers!Copy !req
228. Until one of us beats you,
you can't lose to anyone else!Copy !req
229. Not even to the R32!Copy !req
230. I said I wasn't going to race him!
I have no reason to.Copy !req
231. Reason? Does any racer need a reason to race?Copy !req
232. Who ever said I was a racer?Copy !req
233. I'm in no mood for jokes!
Are you being sarcastic?Copy !req
234. In order for your technique
to be as good as it is,Copy !req
235. you must have practiced for years!Copy !req
236. Why would someone drive
like a racer if he's not a racer?Copy !req
237. I don't drive like I do because I like it.Copy !req
238. I have to in order to help out at home.Copy !req
239. Stop denying it.Copy !req
240. No one can get as good
as you if they hate driving.Copy !req
241. That's not it... You wouldn't understand.Copy !req
242. You're the one who doesn't understand!Copy !req
243. Could someone who hates
racing ever master drifting?Copy !req
244. Only a person who loves the sport
could master something like that!Copy !req
245. Maybe you don't realize it, but you're a racer.Copy !req
246. Deep down you love driving! You hear me?Copy !req
247. If you love driving, then that
makes you racer enough!Copy !req
248. And if you're a racer, then you should
be proud of your driving skills!Copy !req
249. Accepting challenges is a racer's pride!Copy !req
250. You make me sick.Copy !req
251. Do I really like driving...Copy !req
252. but just don't realize it?Copy !req
253. Still...Copy !req
254. being forced to accept every
challenge that comes along...Copy !req
255. That isn't for me!Copy !req
256. Hey! Itsuki! Where's Takumi?Copy !req
257. He's on the late shift today.Copy !req
258. Oh...Copy !req
259. Iketani...Copy !req
260. I'm going to go to Mt. Akina
tonight to apologize to Nakazato.Copy !req
261. Itsuki...Copy !req
262. I'll get down on my knees if I
have to and tell him the truth.Copy !req
263. Maybe he'll understand.Copy !req
264. Besides, the Speed Stars had
nothing to do with this...Copy !req
265. You don't think we can
convince Takumi to race?Copy !req
266. No. I know him better than anyone,
and he'll never do it...Copy !req
267. He hates being forced into thingsCopy !req
268. or having to follow others' orders.Copy !req
269. He looks real mellow,Copy !req
270. but once he says something,
there's no changing his mind...Copy !req
271. Stubborn... just like his father.Copy !req
272. He doesn't understand why
racers have to accept challenges.Copy !req
273. The whole system offends him.Copy !req
274. When someone tries to force
him to do something, he snaps.Copy !req
275. One time in eleventh grade, he flipped outCopy !req
276. and beat up a group of
seniors after soccer practice.Copy !req
277. What? Takumi did that?Copy !req
278. Boss, I finished cleaning up outside.Copy !req
279. Thanks.Copy !req
280. No problem. See you tomorrow, then.Copy !req
281. Takumi!Copy !req
282. Come and have a seat.Copy !req
283. Okay...Copy !req
284. You know, I overheard some talk.Copy !req
285. You're going to race an R32 tonight?Copy !req
286. What? I'm...Copy !req
287. Don't do it, Takumi. That guy's bad news.Copy !req
288. Uh... No, I wasn't...Copy !req
289. No, no. I know what you're going to say.Copy !req
290. I've known everything from the beginning.Copy !req
291. I know it wasn't your decision to take this race.Copy !req
292. Itsuki was the one who screwed
up and accepted it, right?Copy !req
293. Yeah...Copy !req
294. You know, you're too nice sometimes.Copy !req
295. You gotta stop bailing your
friends out all the time.Copy !req
296. Trust me. Whatever you do,
don't race that R32.Copy !req
297. There's a lot you don't know about cars.Copy !req
298. Do you even know what an R32 can do?Copy !req
299. Is an R32 that amazing?Copy !req
300. Gotcha! He took the bait...Copy !req
301. It's beyond amazing.Copy !req
302. That car's in a class by itself!Copy !req
303. Its driving system combines everything goodCopy !req
304. about FR and four-wheel drive.Copy !req
305. It's a beast!Copy !req
306. An Eight-Six or GT-R is no match for it.Copy !req
307. If the driver was an amateur,
you'd have a chance,Copy !req
308. but you're up against a famous racer, right?Copy !req
309. Dad didn't tell me this.Copy !req
310. He said it'd be a close race.Copy !req
311. Hey.Copy !req
312. You with me?Copy !req
313. You just became famous yourself
by beating that team from Akagi.Copy !req
314. You shouldn't ruin your name so fast...Copy !req
315. It's not wise to go up against someone
you have no chance of defeating.Copy !req
316. You hear me?Copy !req
317. Since your opponent's driving an R32,Copy !req
318. no one would call you
a coward for backing out.Copy !req
319. A coward?Copy !req
320. Boss...Copy !req
321. Thanks for the warning...Copy !req
322. but I could care less
about my fame as a racer.Copy !req
323. So you aren't going to back down?Copy !req
324. No.Copy !req
325. Hearing about how amazing that car isCopy !req
326. has only made me want to see it in action.Copy !req
327. I'm not afraid of an R32 or any other car.Copy !req
328. Whew!Copy !req
329. He's exactly like his father...Copy !req
330. "Temporarily ClosedCopy !req
331. Fujiwara Tofu Shop"Copy !req
332. Temporarily closed?Copy !req
333. Dad never said anything about this.Copy !req
334. How's he going to make
money if the shop's closed?Copy !req
335. Oh, no! The car!Copy !req
336. If he went out drinking, I'm really in trouble.Copy !req
337. He won't be back until morning!Copy !req
338. I can't do anything without a car.Copy !req
339. I should have asked to borrow it this morning!Copy !req
340. Look at the crowd!Copy !req
341. There's even more people out
tonight than at the Akagi race!Copy !req
342. Why did so many people come tonight?Copy !req
343. You know they're not here to see the R32.Copy !req
344. Yeah, they want to see that Eight-Six drift!Copy !req
345. They say he barrels through
corners as if they're straightaways!Copy !req
346. I can't wait to see this!Copy !req
347. Oh... I see...Copy !req
348. Uh, if he happens to show up,
could you ask him to call home?Copy !req
349. Thanks...Copy !req
350. It's no use... I can't find him...Copy !req
351. Damn!Copy !req
352. Where the hell are you?
Give me back my Eight-Six!Copy !req
353. My pride says you gotta be wild and toughCopy !req
354. So no one intervenesCopy !req
355. Never stop, I don't want to stopCopy !req
356. Even if you cry because of a sacrificed loveCopy !req
357. Aim for the peak, sweep the winding streetCopy !req
358. Beep beep! The warning chime is so cheap!Copy !req
359. The sheep should clear the roadCopy !req
360. 'Cuz I'm never gonna stop, streak my dreamCopy !req
361. Easy motivation is total stimulationCopy !req
362. You tried to escape,
but anywhere is a safety zoneCopy !req
363. Something is within your grasp
and something is forgottenCopy !req
364. Even if the world ends it will never changeCopy !req
365. Beasty shout, no one can touch youCopy !req
366. Cross over now to the time of an intense dreamCopy !req
367. Rage your dream, split the darknessCopy !req
368. Like a streak to the peakCopy !req
369. Erase the freezing darkness worldwideCopy !req
370. Rage your dream, and open the roadCopy !req
371. Di-ding down, another round never slow downCopy !req
372. A point 01 second knockdownCopy !req
373. Reverberations left behind,
disappear to the next townCopy !req
374. The losers are left in the dustCopy !req
375. Let's ignore the constraints of logicCopy !req
376. 'Cause they're a painCopy !req
377. A streaker runs naked across the streetCopy !req
378. Something they would knowCopy !req
379. Rage your dream,
continue on the unending roadCopy !req
380. Don't look back on your love or your pastCopy !req
381. Go forward and you'll shine brightlyCopy !req
382. Rage your dream, you're living in the nowCopy !req
383. Kenji, who do you think will winCopy !req
384. this battle Itsuki got us into,
the R32 or the Eight-Six?Copy !req
385. Of course, I'd like to say the Eight-Six...Copy !req
386. but I don't know if even Takumi
can beat a GT-R, the fastest domestic.Copy !req
387. The biggest question is if
Takumi will even come to race!Copy !req
388. If he doesn't show up,
then Kenji will once more...Copy !req
389. Don't say it!Copy !req
390. Next time on Initial D, "Time's Almost Up!"Copy !req
391. Takumi, please get here soon!Copy !req
392. Don't miss it!Copy !req
