1. "This story is fiction.
Copy !req
2. All names of characters, places and
Copy !req
3. organizations in the story are fictional.
Copy !req
4. Follow the traffic rules and drive safely."
Copy !req
5. Get ready, yo! Now we blow up the horn
Copy !req
6. In the silver smoke amidst the frozen city
Copy !req
7. Payback for a dream I've seen so many times
Copy !req
8. My body is frozen in a
memory that I can't shake
Copy !req
9. Slam on the accelerator and deceive myself
Copy !req
10. Broken in the night
Copy !req
11. My eyes become sharper
Copy !req
12. All from someone's whim
Copy !req
13. It seems like the world will end any minute
Copy !req
14. Break into the night, it's the time
Copy !req
15. With scared eyes, I'm lost in the night
Copy !req
16. Embraced by a falling dream
Copy !req
17. Scared of being alone, missin' my heart
Copy !req
18. Even hurting myself
Copy !req
19. Love me so much,
enough that I could fall apart
Copy !req
20. If only I could throw everything away
Copy !req
21. And just love you
Copy !req
22. Then I know I could face the truth
Copy !req
23. Vroom!
Copy !req
24. And at the corner I went...
Copy !req
25. Voosh!
Copy !req
26. ...as I cleared it.
Copy !req
27. At that moment, I was like the wind.
Copy !req
28. Nothing beats the pass.
Copy !req
29. When you have your own cars, go check it out.
Copy !req
30. My car? It's an Eight-Five,
every racer's dream car!
Copy !req
31. You probably didn't know that.
Copy !req
32. "Act 21: Challenge from a Superstar"
Copy !req
33. This summer was very memorable.
Copy !req
34. --Why?
--"Why?"
Copy !req
35. Because I bought a car,
Copy !req
36. and you debuted in the
racing world like a comet.
Copy !req
37. Don't tease me like that.
Copy !req
38. One, two, three, four...
Copy !req
39. What are you counting?
Copy !req
40. Four is the number of
races you won this summer.
Copy !req
41. First, Keisuke Takahashi of the Red Suns' FD.
Copy !req
42. Second, Nakazato of the Night Kids' R32.
Copy !req
43. Third, the duct tape death match
with Shingo Shoji's EG6.
Copy !req
44. Finally, Mako and Sayuki's
Sileighty at Usui Pass.
Copy !req
45. Four for four.
Copy !req
46. Your undefeated legend began this summer.
Copy !req
47. You're no longer just a dummy.
Copy !req
48. Stop exaggerating.
Copy !req
49. Don't be embarrassed!
Copy !req
50. Keep winning, Takumi!
Copy !req
51. Until I beat you,
Copy !req
52. and become the fastest in Gunma--
no, in all of Kanto!
Copy !req
53. They'll be calling me... "Itsuki, Akina's Comet"!
Copy !req
54. Huh?
Copy !req
55. Since school ends early today,
Copy !req
56. let's go do something in the afternoon.
Copy !req
57. I kind of have to work in the afternoon.
Copy !req
58. What? You do?
Copy !req
59. I want to ride in your car again...
Copy !req
60. ...because it's very cute.
Copy !req
61. If you say so... but it's my dad's car.
Copy !req
62. You said you wanted to buy a car.
Copy !req
63. Are you saving up?
Copy !req
64. I save most of what I make,
Copy !req
65. but I'm still far from it.
Copy !req
66. How much do you need?
Copy !req
67. Around a million yen.
Copy !req
68. A million...
Copy !req
69. How much do you have now?
Copy !req
70. Not even close.
Copy !req
71. Takumi?
Copy !req
72. What would you do if I gave you the money?
Copy !req
73. I wonder...
Copy !req
74. I bet you'd thank me,
Copy !req
75. and treat me like a princess.
Copy !req
76. You'd owe me big,
Copy !req
77. so you'd have to quit working
Copy !req
78. and take care of me and love me every day!
Copy !req
79. --I'm so embarrassed!
--Quit kidding around.
Copy !req
80. That's too much money
for us to come up with.
Copy !req
81. I know that!
Copy !req
82. I was just wondering.
Copy !req
83. You have no imagination.
Copy !req
84. That's too far off to imagine.
Copy !req
85. We now know that Takumi's
technique is the real deal
Copy !req
86. and will hold up anywhere.
Copy !req
87. It's more than just technique.
Copy !req
88. --Thank you very much.
--You need natural talent
Copy !req
89. to be able to race well on a new course.
Copy !req
90. He's a genius because he
defeated all those modern cars
Copy !req
91. with his ten-year-old Eight-Six.
Copy !req
92. --How gratifying!
--Get a load of you!
Copy !req
93. You're the one who said he
couldn't compete anywhere else
Copy !req
94. because he only knew Akina.
Copy !req
95. I know I did, but...
Copy !req
96. We all thought that.
Copy !req
97. Takumi is abnormal.
Copy !req
98. When I heard the news,
I was sure he'd lose at Usui
Copy !req
99. against Mako's Sileighty.
Copy !req
100. Sorry, Iketani.
Copy !req
101. Don't worry about it.
Copy !req
102. I've decided to go by
"Iketani the Lonely Driver."
Copy !req
103. That name sounds familiar.
Copy !req
104. Welcome.
Copy !req
105. Flowers?
Copy !req
106. Are you sure this isn't a mistake?
Copy !req
107. This is a gas station...
Copy !req
108. Takumi, this is for you.
Copy !req
109. Who is it from?
Copy !req
110. From Ryosuke Takahashi.
Copy !req
111. What?!
Copy !req
112. Ryosuke...
Copy !req
113. ...Takahashi.
Copy !req
114. From the number-one superstar in Gunma...
Copy !req
115. ...to Takumi!
Copy !req
116. What does it say?
Copy !req
117. Let me see.
Copy !req
118. "To Panda Trueno
Copy !req
119. 9/15 10:00 PM, Mt. Akina Peak"
Copy !req
120. September 15th at 10 PM...
Copy !req
121. ...at the top of Mount Akina.
Copy !req
122. Is that all it says?
Copy !req
123. It sounds like...
Copy !req
124. It's finally here.
Copy !req
125. A challenge from Ryosuke Takahashi
Copy !req
126. for a downhill battle.
Copy !req
127. Wow!
Copy !req
128. What are you gonna do?
Copy !req
129. You know he has to accept the challenge.
Copy !req
130. Takumi already smoked
Ryosuke's brother Keisuke.
Copy !req
131. That's right. Avoiding a rematch
Copy !req
132. is more humiliating than losing one.
Copy !req
133. What's the matter?
Copy !req
134. Don't you like being with me?
Copy !req
135. --Of course I do!
--You seem uninterested and preoccupied.
Copy !req
136. That's normal, I guess.
Copy !req
137. You seem so far away.
Copy !req
138. If this isn't fun, we should go.
Copy !req
139. It is fun!
Copy !req
140. Sorry, I apologize.
Copy !req
141. I'll forgive you if you tell me
what you were thinking about.
Copy !req
142. Well, I don't think you would really get it.
Copy !req
143. --Bye!
--Okay, I'll tell you!
Copy !req
144. A battle?
Copy !req
145. --Yeah.
--Is that like a fistfight?
Copy !req
146. No. A battle is a car race.
Copy !req
147. A car race?
Copy !req
148. I never knew that racing was your hobby.
Copy !req
149. It's not really my hobby, but I
guess it's kind of become one.
Copy !req
150. My next opponent is very
good and very well known.
Copy !req
151. I've been thinking about it since this morning.
Copy !req
152. I must be feeling the pressure.
Copy !req
153. You're a good driver, so you'll be okay.
Copy !req
154. It's not that easy.
Copy !req
155. If you don't want to race, just ignore him.
Copy !req
156. It's not that I don't want to.
Copy !req
157. I may lose to him,
Copy !req
158. but I don't want to not race him.
Copy !req
159. That's so like you.
Copy !req
160. You want to do it deep down, don't you?
Copy !req
161. You don't show it,
Copy !req
162. but I know you're very competitive.
Copy !req
163. I kind of like that about you.
Copy !req
164. Ready to go?
Copy !req
165. Why don't we talk a little more before we go?
Copy !req
166. Sure.
Copy !req
167. I know why you got in a fight
with that senior in the locker room.
Copy !req
168. After you quit the team,
Copy !req
169. your teammate told me why.
Copy !req
170. You stood up for me, didn't you?
Copy !req
171. I'm sorry I misunderstood you.
Copy !req
172. Don't be.
Copy !req
173. It doesn't matter now.
Copy !req
174. That's Takumi's Eight-Six.
Copy !req
175. Who is that girl?
Copy !req
176. Man, Keiichi Tsuchiya's drift is incredible!
Copy !req
177. Look.
Copy !req
178. Look at these pictures.
Copy !req
179. Takumi? Hey, Takumi!
Copy !req
180. What is it, Itsuki? Lunchtime?
Copy !req
181. You idiot!
Copy !req
182. Sorry, I was just talking to myself.
Copy !req
183. Takumi's been acting weird?
Copy !req
184. What's so weird?
Copy !req
185. He seems out of it.
Copy !req
186. That's normal.
Copy !req
187. I know, but he was better during the summer.
Copy !req
188. But when school started,
Copy !req
189. he suddenly got even worse than before.
Copy !req
190. Tired from all the races?
Copy !req
191. He just started racing this summer.
Copy !req
192. He may have lost his focus because of school.
Copy !req
193. I don't think that's it.
Copy !req
194. It's like something in his head broke.
Copy !req
195. Is he gonna be able to race like that?
Copy !req
196. He has a girlfriend, doesn't he?
Copy !req
197. What are you talking about?
Copy !req
198. I just thought he might
be daydreaming about her.
Copy !req
199. Daydreaming?
Copy !req
200. Just like how you were with Mako...
Copy !req
201. Kenji... that name is taboo here.
Copy !req
202. It's all right, Itsuki.
Copy !req
203. Anyway, I happened to see
Takumi driving with a girl.
Copy !req
204. Are you serious?!
Copy !req
205. I just got a glimpse, but she was pretty.
Copy !req
206. Takumi's girlfriend...
Copy !req
207. No wonder he's been
ditching me after school lately.
Copy !req
208. That traitor!
Copy !req
209. I've never even held a girl's hand!
Copy !req
210. That's it! That must be the reason!
Copy !req
211. I'm positive!
Copy !req
212. Leave it to me!
Copy !req
213. I'll take him out and interrogate him!
Copy !req
214. Racers don't need girls, right, Iketani?!
Copy !req
215. Right!
Copy !req
216. We are the "Lonely Drivers"!
Copy !req
217. This is sad.
Copy !req
218. What's on your mind?
Copy !req
219. You've been...
Copy !req
220. ...dating Mogi behind my
back lately, haven't you?
Copy !req
221. Oh, is that all?
Copy !req
222. "Is that all"?!
Copy !req
223. It's no secret.
Copy !req
224. But nothing special to tell, either.
Copy !req
225. No excuses! Just answer this question...
Copy !req
226. How far did you go?
Copy !req
227. Honestly, how far did you guys go?
Copy !req
228. How far?
Copy !req
229. Be honest with your best friend!
Copy !req
230. Itsuki, watch out!
Copy !req
231. I'll tell you!
Copy !req
232. Then tell me!
Copy !req
233. Last Sunday...
Copy !req
234. Sunday!
Copy !req
235. ...the two of us...
Copy !req
236. The two of you...!
Copy !req
237. ...went to Akina Lake.
Copy !req
238. Hey, Itsuki, watch out!
Copy !req
239. What I mean is...
Copy !req
240. ...which base did you get to, you idiot?
Copy !req
241. Which base?
Copy !req
242. Did you kiss her?
Copy !req
243. --Sure.
--What?!
Copy !req
244. Hey, Itsuki, stop!
Copy !req
245. Stop the car!
Copy !req
246. Yeah, he's daydreaming about her.
Copy !req
247. Why are you staring at me?
Copy !req
248. You've been weird lately.
Copy !req
249. I have?
Copy !req
250. You never think much,
Copy !req
251. yet you've been so preoccupied.
Copy !req
252. I guess so.
Copy !req
253. He probably can't stop
thinking about Mogi's soft lips.
Copy !req
254. I've been wondering...
Copy !req
255. ...what's gonna happen to us in the future.
Copy !req
256. In the future?!
Copy !req
257. After kissing comes...
Copy !req
258. How can you even bring up
such a shameful subject
Copy !req
259. in front of the "Lonely Driver"?!
Copy !req
260. There's only one thing left to do after kissing!
Copy !req
261. What's the one thing?
Copy !req
262. You know--it!
Copy !req
263. What are you talking about?!
Copy !req
264. You're not making any sense.
Copy !req
265. What I mean by the future is...
Copy !req
266. Never mind. Difficult thoughts
aren't my specialty.
Copy !req
267. It looks like his daydreaming
can't be easily fixed.
Copy !req
268. "Welcome to Touge
Copy !req
269. Altitude: 1434m"
Copy !req
270. No wonder.
Copy !req
271. It's Keisuke's FD and Kenta's S14.
Copy !req
272. Kenta is fast down the hill.
Copy !req
273. His non-turbo S14 is made for it.
Copy !req
274. Keisuke took him under his wing
Copy !req
275. and has been personally training him.
Copy !req
276. He's our number-two successor.
Copy !req
277. The battle against the
Night Kids is in two days.
Copy !req
278. Keisuke shouldn't be wasting time with Kenta.
Copy !req
279. He must be confident.
Copy !req
280. I guess Takeshi Nakazato is easy prey.
Copy !req
281. Keisuke's on fire lately.
Copy !req
282. Don't you think he's been
driving like Ryosuke lately?
Copy !req
283. Yeah, I noticed that, too.
Copy !req
284. Ryosuke must be feeling pretty
confident about his brother.
Copy !req
285. I heard that's why he's not coming to Myogi.
Copy !req
286. Can I ask you one thing, Keisuke?
Copy !req
287. What is it?
Copy !req
288. Why aren't we challenging the Eight-Six?
Copy !req
289. We should have him
come to Akagi for revenge.
Copy !req
290. --Akagi, huh?
--Sure!
Copy !req
291. There's no way you'll lose
to the Eight-Six on our turf.
Copy !req
292. If you won't do it...
Copy !req
293. ...I will!
Copy !req
294. --Forget it, Kenta.
--Why?
Copy !req
295. You think he'll beat me?
Copy !req
296. Not on Akagi's downhill.
Copy !req
297. That's beside the point.
Copy !req
298. You're a Red Sun now, and don't forget it.
Copy !req
299. We race on our opponents' courses.
Copy !req
300. I know we do...
Copy !req
301. ...but I can't take it.
Copy !req
302. The Eight-Six got the best of us!
Copy !req
303. If only we could battle fair and square...
Copy !req
304. Please let me take him!
Copy !req
305. Be patient!
Copy !req
306. Don't worry.
Copy !req
307. When the opportunity arises,
Copy !req
308. the person who needs to put
an end to it will do just that.
Copy !req
309. You mean...
Copy !req
310. ...Ryosuke will?
Copy !req
311. Be patient. First, the Night Kids race.
Copy !req
312. Just leave everything to us.
Copy !req
313. He does seem weird.
Copy !req
314. See?! He confessed.
Copy !req
315. He is, indeed, daydreaming.
Copy !req
316. We gotta do something.
Copy !req
317. We only have one week until the big race.
Copy !req
318. We're in serious trouble.
Copy !req
319. "To Panda Trueno
Copy !req
320. 9/15 10:00 PM, Mt. Akina Peak
Copy !req
321. From Ryosuke Takahashi"
Copy !req
322. There was a time when I
wandered aimlessly, tired of love
Copy !req
323. I lost sight of myself and gave in to desire
Copy !req
324. But destiny is ever-changing
Copy !req
325. And charmed by innocent eyes
Copy !req
326. Bloom like a red rose,
I hold you ever so tightly
Copy !req
327. All I can say is that I believe
my feelings are true
Copy !req
328. Let's enjoy our happiness...
Copy !req
329. Into our shining future
Copy !req
330. We'll prove countless times...
Copy !req
331. Our passion will last for eternity!
Copy !req
332. Bloom like a red rose,
I embrace you ever so tightly
Copy !req
333. Even if I lose everything that I have,
I will never let you go
Copy !req
334. Bloom, my beautiful...
Copy !req
335. ...and miraculous flower
Copy !req
336. This is seriously not good!
Copy !req
337. What's not good, Itsuki?
Copy !req
338. --The big race is...
--Forget the race!
Copy !req
339. He's been daydreaming
about a girl at this crucial time!
Copy !req
340. --Daydreaming?
--He and Natsuki did this and that and...
Copy !req
341. ...maybe they did "it," too!
Copy !req
342. --Not that again.
--Huh?
Copy !req
343. Next on Initial D: "Fierce Uphill Battle!"
Copy !req
344. Don't miss it!
Copy !req
