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. Takumi, you don't look too sharp.
Copy !req
24. Are you sure you'll be okay in the rain?
Copy !req
25. Who knows?
Copy !req
26. I can't go too fast in the rain,
so I'll drive normally.
Copy !req
27. Who knows if I'll be fast or slow?
Copy !req
28. I'll take it easy,
Copy !req
29. 'cause if I crashed, my dad would kill me.
Copy !req
30. I'll count down!
Copy !req
31. Five... Four...
Copy !req
32. Three... Two...
Copy !req
33. One... Go!
Copy !req
34. "Act 23: The Rainy Downhill"
Copy !req
35. The S14 got off to a faster start.
Copy !req
36. It's not a turbo, but it has a two-liter engine.
Copy !req
37. It's not just the size of the engine.
Copy !req
38. He used the clutch well on the wet surface.
Copy !req
39. No wonder he's confident.
Copy !req
40. That wasn't the Eight-Six's best start.
Copy !req
41. He knows he can catch up once he gets going.
Copy !req
42. He took the lead!
Copy !req
43. Oh, no! His powerful S14 will widen the gap,
Copy !req
44. and we'll be left behind!
Copy !req
45. He's way behind.
Copy !req
46. This hill is too much for an Eight-Six.
Copy !req
47. But it's downhill from here to the finish line.
Copy !req
48. That Eight-Six is known for
his killer downhill technique,
Copy !req
49. "Sekimon Entrance"
Copy !req
50. so he'll make a comeback.
Copy !req
51. Hello?
Copy !req
52. Hey, big brother.
Copy !req
53. The Eight-Six and Kenta in the rain?
Copy !req
54. Yeah.
Copy !req
55. Kenta is very confident
racing against the Eight-Six,
Copy !req
56. but I know it won't be that easy.
Copy !req
57. I agree. Drifting through corners at low speed
Copy !req
58. is completely different from an actual race.
Copy !req
59. Yeah. It gets very difficult when
you have to floor the gas pedal.
Copy !req
60. What tire grip can
compensate for on a dry surface
Copy !req
61. is severely limited in the rain.
Copy !req
62. You have to shift the weight properly,
Copy !req
63. or you'll lose control and crash in no time.
Copy !req
64. I wonder if those two really understand
Copy !req
65. the difficulty of a rainy race?
Copy !req
66. Interesting...
Copy !req
67. "Those two..."
Copy !req
68. You liar!
Copy !req
69. You're only interested in the Eight-Six.
Copy !req
70. Help! I'm not ready to die!
Copy !req
71. Darn... it's coming down harder now.
Copy !req
72. The opponent is from Akagi,
Copy !req
73. so neither one has the advantage here.
Copy !req
74. The problem is the rain.
Copy !req
75. I wonder if he can perform in the rain?
Copy !req
76. I'm sure he can,
Copy !req
77. because he makes deliveries every day.
Copy !req
78. I'm sure he's driven on rainy days.
Copy !req
79. Of course he has!
Copy !req
80. Then his technique
Copy !req
81. should be effective in the rain, too.
Copy !req
82. I won't let you catch up!
Copy !req
83. I'll widen the gap.
Copy !req
84. In the rain, I can even
outrace turbo-charged cars.
Copy !req
85. He swung his tail!
Copy !req
86. The S14 is running well in the rain.
Copy !req
87. It's hard to control an FR in the rain.
Copy !req
88. Yeah. It only spins to the side, not forward.
Copy !req
89. It's the Eight-Six!
Copy !req
90. Unbelievable!
Copy !req
91. What a drift in the rain!
Copy !req
92. What was that?
Copy !req
93. That drift was scary.
Copy !req
94. I have goose bumps.
Copy !req
95. Is this the same person
who was lost in a daydream?
Copy !req
96. He said he would take it easy...
Copy !req
97. So is this how he normally drives?!
Copy !req
98. Besides, it's impossible to see in this rain.
Copy !req
99. How does he do it?
Copy !req
100. It's so dark that I can't even see the road!
Copy !req
101. Stop that ringing!
Copy !req
102. This speed is insane!
Copy !req
103. He's not human.
Copy !req
104. He's a monster!
Copy !req
105. I'm on!
Copy !req
106. I'm in top form tonight!
Copy !req
107. I'll put an end to the
Eight-Six's undefeated streak!
Copy !req
108. It's not Keisuke or Ryosuke,
Copy !req
109. but me who will defeat him!
Copy !req
110. What?!
Copy !req
111. The Eight-Six is on my tail.
Copy !req
112. How? It can't be!
Copy !req
113. What's happening?
Copy !req
114. We haven't gone through
that many downhill corners yet.
Copy !req
115. This isn't happening!
Copy !req
116. I got caught so easily...
Copy !req
117. ...going downhill in the rain.
Copy !req
118. But...
Copy !req
119. ...it's not over yet!
Copy !req
120. They're only inches apart!
Copy !req
121. Look! The Eight-Six is cutting in!
Copy !req
122. The Eight-Six is passing him!
Copy !req
123. He made it look easy.
Copy !req
124. Are you kidding?
Copy !req
125. It was worth waiting in the rain.
Copy !req
126. Yeah.
Copy !req
127. I can't keep up!
Copy !req
128. The gap widens with each corner!
Copy !req
129. I can't go around the corners as fast.
Copy !req
130. What could be making the difference?
Copy !req
131. I thought the rain was on my side!
Copy !req
132. Right, I see.
Copy !req
133. Word from the mid-point.
Copy !req
134. The Eight-Six passed your guy.
Copy !req
135. I guess he was way out of Kenta's league.
Copy !req
136. He did well, though.
Copy !req
137. The Eight-Six is even fast in the rain.
Copy !req
138. It was obvious even before the race.
Copy !req
139. The weather plays no part
in defeating the Eight-Six.
Copy !req
140. It's finally your brother's turn.
Copy !req
141. --Welcome!
--Welcome!
Copy !req
142. Welcome.
Copy !req
143. Anyway...
Copy !req
144. ...we now know that he can
race just as well in the rain.
Copy !req
145. He's becoming more like
a true racer every day.
Copy !req
146. He willingly took the S14's
challenge last night.
Copy !req
147. His daydreaming seems to have passed.
Copy !req
148. I think our operation was a big success.
Copy !req
149. Yeah.
Copy !req
150. Anyhow, Itsuki, you were lucky
Copy !req
151. to be able to experience
that rainy downhill battle.
Copy !req
152. It was so scary that I
thought I would die for sure!
Copy !req
153. Besides, he told me to sit in the back instead.
Copy !req
154. In the back?
Copy !req
155. --Why?
--No idea.
Copy !req
156. I don't even think Takumi
knew the reason for it.
Copy !req
157. I get it.
Copy !req
158. I think I understand the reason.
Copy !req
159. Really?
Copy !req
160. What is it?
Copy !req
161. It's because...
Copy !req
162. --Well...
--Well?
Copy !req
163. Itsuki's annoying.
Copy !req
164. It must be hard to focus when
Itsuki's screaming next to you.
Copy !req
165. That makes sense.
Copy !req
166. That's why!
Copy !req
167. That's not it at all, you boneheads.
Copy !req
168. He had Itsuki in the back
Copy !req
169. because he thought he
could get extra tire traction.
Copy !req
170. I bet he knew that intuitively.
Copy !req
171. Thank you very much.
Copy !req
172. I have no idea how much better he'll get.
Copy !req
173. Takumi!
Copy !req
174. Who is she?
Copy !req
175. Is that...?
Copy !req
176. --His girlfriend.
--What?!
Copy !req
177. "Card Club Pricing"
Copy !req
178. I don't know why I came,
but I just ended up here.
Copy !req
179. Yeah?
Copy !req
180. --Is this a bad time?
--No.
Copy !req
181. He looks obsessed!
Copy !req
182. This isn't good.
Copy !req
183. "Card Club Pricing"
Copy !req
184. I hate to bother you at work, so I'll go.
Copy !req
185. Yeah.
Copy !req
186. Trouble!
Copy !req
187. He may start daydreaming about her again!
Copy !req
188. Do something, Itsuki.
Copy !req
189. There aren't any more races for him to see!
Copy !req
190. There's no time for him to daydream
Copy !req
191. before the big race next week.
Copy !req
192. I know that!
Copy !req
193. Hey, Takumi!
Copy !req
194. Let's go to Akina for a spin tonight!
Copy !req
195. It looks dirty.
Copy !req
196. I guess it's because of last night.
Copy !req
197. Hello?
Copy !req
198. Who is this?
Copy !req
199. It's me. It's been a while, Bunta.
Copy !req
200. Oh, it's you.
Copy !req
201. What's the occasion?
Copy !req
202. Did you crash and get hospitalized?
Copy !req
203. You wish.
Copy !req
204. By the way...
Copy !req
205. ...I hear people are talking about your son.
Copy !req
206. I hear he's good.
Copy !req
207. What? This Saturday?
Copy !req
208. Against Ryosuke Takahashi? Who is that?
Copy !req
209. You don't know him?
Copy !req
210. Even my people know who he is.
Copy !req
211. I hear he's the best street racer in Gunma.
Copy !req
212. My son and he are racing, huh?
Copy !req
213. Who do you think will win?
Copy !req
214. Who knows? We'll find out this Saturday.
Copy !req
215. You haven't changed a bit.
Copy !req
216. I'm curious about the drift
your son learned from you.
Copy !req
217. You scarred me for life
with your monstrous drift.
Copy !req
218. That was years ago.
Copy !req
219. --Mr. Tsuchiya, we need you.
--Yeah.
Copy !req
220. Later, Bunta.
Copy !req
221. I can tell that you've improved a lot, Itsuki.
Copy !req
222. You really think so?
Copy !req
223. That means a lot coming from you, Takumi!
Copy !req
224. I've been practicing the "grip run," you know?
Copy !req
225. Just for you, here's a
brilliant technique of mine
Copy !req
226. that resulted from hours of practice.
Copy !req
227. "Illusionary Hell and Tear!"
Copy !req
228. This is strange!
Copy !req
229. I had no problem with it yesterday.
Copy !req
230. The next corner, then!
Copy !req
231. "Incredible Braking!"
Copy !req
232. Hold on, Itsuki!
Copy !req
233. I can relax now.
Copy !req
234. I was worried you were
daydreaming about girls again.
Copy !req
235. Girls? What do you mean by that?!
Copy !req
236. I wasn't doing that!
Copy !req
237. But you were acting so weird.
Copy !req
238. I told you that I was thinking...
Copy !req
239. ...about what would
happen after this big race,
Copy !req
240. regardless of the outcome.
Copy !req
241. Don't you get what I'm saying?
Copy !req
242. No idea.
Copy !req
243. It's all a riddle to me.
Copy !req
244. Why do you need anything after the race?
Copy !req
245. You don't need anything.
Copy !req
246. You're already fast as it is.
Copy !req
247. I'm not fast.
Copy !req
248. Yes, you are!
Copy !req
249. You have an undefeated streak going.
Copy !req
250. I don't know.
Copy !req
251. I just don't know where I'm headed.
Copy !req
252. Can't you just focus on the big race for now?
Copy !req
253. You don't have much time left.
Copy !req
254. Ryosuke Takahashi...
Copy !req
255. There was a time when I
wandered aimlessly, tired of love
Copy !req
256. I lost sight of myself and gave in to desire
Copy !req
257. But destiny is ever-changing
Copy !req
258. And charmed by innocent eyes
Copy !req
259. Bloom like a red rose,
I hold you ever so tightly
Copy !req
260. All I can say is that I believe
my feelings are true
Copy !req
261. Let's enjoy our happiness...
Copy !req
262. Into our shining future
Copy !req
263. We'll prove countless times...
Copy !req
264. Our passion will last for eternity!
Copy !req
265. Bloom like a red rose,
I embrace you ever so tightly
Copy !req
266. Even if I lose everything that I have,
I will never let you go
Copy !req
267. Bloom, my beautiful...
Copy !req
268. ...and miraculous flower
Copy !req
269. It's the moment of truth for your
"fastest racer" theory, Ryosuke.
Copy !req
270. I'm looking forward to the opportunity.
Copy !req
271. So, what exactly is your theory?
Copy !req
272. 2
I'm sure you're familiar with E = mc.
Copy !req
273. It's Einstein's Theory of Relativity.
Copy !req
274. I've added my own sub-theories to it.
Copy !req
275. "E" symbolizes the opponent's
average speed and...
Copy !req
276. Next on Initial D: "Akagi's White Comet!"
Copy !req
277. Don't miss it!
Copy !req
