23. Morning, Takumi!Copy !req
24. What's with the sleepy face?Copy !req
25. I was born with it.Copy !req
26. Hey, it's getting closer.Copy !req
27. The race against Ryosuke Takahashi!Copy !req
28. I'm so excited that I can't focus on classes.Copy !req
29. We're talking about Ryosuke Takahashi,Copy !req
30. the fastest and most popular racer in Gunma.Copy !req
31. Do you have any special strategy, Takumi?Copy !req
32. No.Copy !req
33. I'm not versatile enough to change
my race based on my opponents.Copy !req
34. It makes no difference.Copy !req
35. I just race the fastest way I know how.Copy !req
36. If the opponent is faster, I'll lose.Copy !req
37. Otherwise, I'll win.Copy !req
38. That makes sense.Copy !req
39. I'm counting on you, you know?Copy !req
40. What if you ended up beating him?!Copy !req
41. That'd be so cool and awesome and...!Copy !req
42. How embarrassing!Copy !req
43. "Act 24: Akagi's White Comet!"Copy !req
44. Welcome!Copy !req
45. Oh, it's just you.Copy !req
46. I got something very interesting.Copy !req
47. You mean you got an adult movie, Kenji?Copy !req
48. Sorry, Itsuki.Copy !req
49. This is better than that!Copy !req
50. Better than that?Copy !req
51. They're racing.Copy !req
52. It doesn't look like Akina.Copy !req
53. Just watch the tape.Copy !req
54. Can we watch that last part in slow motion?Copy !req
55. It's Ryosuke Takahashi!Copy !req
56. He looks so much younger!Copy !req
57. This was three years ago.Copy !req
58. How did you find this?Copy !req
59. Some diehard fan videotaped his races.Copy !req
60. What a drift!Copy !req
61. Angling into a corner like that is miraculous.Copy !req
62. So cool!Copy !req
63. Hey, I was actually there for that race!Copy !req
64. I still remember it.Copy !req
65. Back then, he was a lone wolf
and didn't belong to any team.Copy !req
66. They called him "Akagi's White Comet."Copy !req
67. Akagi's White Comet...Copy !req
68. That sounds so cool that I'm shivering.Copy !req
69. What about the Red Suns?Copy !req
70. Ryosuke personally handpicked
a few premium street racersCopy !req
71. to form the Red Suns.Copy !req
72. That's why the quality of
his team is much higherCopy !req
73. than that of our "friendly" team.Copy !req
74. Now, he and his brother KeisukeCopy !req
75. are known as "The Rotary Brothers."Copy !req
76. But to me, he will always be
"Akagi's White Comet."Copy !req
77. What are you guys watching?Copy !req
78. I'm sorry!Copy !req
79. --Turn it off.
--It's okay.Copy !req
80. Keep watching.Copy !req
81. That's good stuff!Copy !req
82. --Takumi's really racing him, huh?
--Yes.Copy !req
83. I bet it'll draw the biggest crowd ever.Copy !req
84. Ryosuke Takahashi is a superstar,Copy !req
85. and now Takumi has become
famous as "Akina's Eight-Six."Copy !req
86. That's right. A mysterious downhill specialistCopy !req
87. has suddenly appeared in Akina this summer!Copy !req
88. I'm so excited!Copy !req
89. Honestly, who do you think will win?Copy !req
90. I hate to say this,Copy !req
91. but I don't think Takumi
stands a chance against him.Copy !req
92. This opponent is unreal.Copy !req
93. I have to agree.Copy !req
94. Ryosuke Takahashi is fast... ridiculously fast.Copy !req
95. That fast, huh?Copy !req
96. He was already the fastest then,Copy !req
97. but he's gotten even faster.Copy !req
98. On top of all the street races,
he's repeatedly won the GymkhanaCopy !req
99. and various circuit competitions.Copy !req
100. He holds many course records
and has never lost a race.Copy !req
101. His undefeated streak is unbroken.Copy !req
102. And they say that he's never had
to give his all in any of his races.Copy !req
103. He only uses half his ability
and still defeats any opponent.Copy !req
104. So no one has ever really
seen his absolute best yet.Copy !req
105. Well, if Takumi can keep up
with him, it's a job well done.Copy !req
106. But...Copy !req
107. There you go with your negativity again.Copy !req
108. Can't you be more optimistic?Copy !req
109. Then who do you think will win, boss?Copy !req
110. Well...Copy !req
111. Takumi has beaten Keisuke
and Night Kids' Nakazato!Copy !req
112. And there was Usui's Sileighty
and the duct tape death match!Copy !req
113. And a race in the rain!Copy !req
114. I think...Copy !req
115. I think he'll do just fine.Copy !req
116. Ryosuke is by far the best racer
among the elite Red Suns.Copy !req
117. Keisuke and Nakazato don't even come close.Copy !req
118. To use a boxing analogy, the odds are 10 to 1.Copy !req
119. I want Takumi to win.Copy !req
120. He's my best friend,Copy !req
121. and I want our proud Eight-Six...Copy !req
122. ...to defeat the FC!Copy !req
123. Stop crying.Copy !req
124. Boys like cars, don't they?Copy !req
125. Sure.Copy !req
126. Are cars that exciting?Copy !req
127. Sure they are.Copy !req
128. They can take you anywhere.Copy !req
129. If you had to choose between
your girlfriend and your car,Copy !req
130. which would you pick?Copy !req
131. I can't compare them.Copy !req
132. My girlfriend is one thing
and my car is another.Copy !req
133. Racing is very deep.Copy !req
134. I've been thinking about
how to get better at it.Copy !req
135. Thinking about that makes me feel good.Copy !req
136. You're...Copy !req
137. --...sexual.
--Huh?!Copy !req
138. Where did that come from?!Copy !req
139. Why do you say that?Copy !req
140. Sorry, I just felt it.Copy !req
141. It's women's intuition.Copy !req
142. I'm pretty sure that I just got a peek...Copy !req
143. ...at your hidden sexuality!Copy !req
144. What are you saying?
You're not making any sense.Copy !req
145. Don't worry. You wouldn't understand.Copy !req
146. When is the big race?Copy !req
147. Two nights from tonight.Copy !req
148. Isn't it against a fast racer?Copy !req
149. Yeah.Copy !req
150. I want to watch you race.Copy !req
151. But maybe I shouldn't.Copy !req
152. Don't crash.Copy !req
153. You can lose, but don't get hurt.Copy !req
154. You have to promise me that.Copy !req
155. Ryosuke, you got another invite
from a professional team.Copy !req
156. They called me today.Copy !req
157. Again? Wow.Copy !req
158. Which team?Copy !req
159. It's the "Hoshiya"Team.Copy !req
160. They're looking for a young, premium racer.Copy !req
161. They want you to call them
right away to set up an interview.Copy !req
162. I know for sure that you'll make a great pro!Copy !req
163. It's very exciting.Copy !req
164. What are you gonna do?Copy !req
165. Turn it down for me.Copy !req
166. Like I said before,
I have no desire to go pro.Copy !req
167. What a waste!Copy !req
168. Can't you at least talk to them?Copy !req
169. He's right, Ryosuke.Copy !req
170. I'm not interested in the
professional racing world.Copy !req
171. I'm only attracted to street racing,Copy !req
172. where anyone can freely express himself.Copy !req
173. The Gymkhana and circuit competitionsCopy !req
174. are the path I took to master street racing.Copy !req
175. Right now, there's only one thing on my mind.Copy !req
176. The Eight-Six on Saturday.Copy !req
177. Done working?Copy !req
178. Wanna go for a spin?Copy !req
179. --With you?
--Yeah.Copy !req
180. I've readjusted the car, so I
thought I'd go for an easy drive.Copy !req
181. An easy drive?Copy !req
182. I hate it when you talk like that.Copy !req
183. "Akina Skate Center"Copy !req
184. --Hey, Bunta?
--Yeah?Copy !req
185. Did you readjust the car for the big battle?Copy !req
186. That's right.Copy !req
187. I think I'll speed up a little, Yuichi.Copy !req
188. Hold on!Copy !req
189. I'm ready. Just a little bit, okay?Copy !req
190. Here comes the corner!Copy !req
191. What entry speed!Copy !req
192. I feel the G-force diagonally behind me.Copy !req
193. What the heck are you doing?!Copy !req
194. I feel like having a smoke.Copy !req
195. Stop that!Copy !req
196. Keep your eyes on the road!Copy !req
197. Oh, no!Copy !req
198. Not too bad.Copy !req
199. I'm serious this time!Copy !req
200. Let me out!Copy !req
201. The tires and engine are adjusted for the race.Copy !req
202. How much horsepower does it have now?Copy !req
203. Well, I'd say its max is about 260 horsepower.Copy !req
204. 260 horsepower?!Copy !req
205. You downgraded it!Copy !req
206. It had at least 350 before.Copy !req
207. It did.Copy !req
208. Less horsepower?Copy !req
209. Why did you have to make it slower?Copy !req
210. You should remember that, at times,Copy !req
211. you need less horsepower to run faster.Copy !req
212. That's how deep street racing is.Copy !req
213. The key to downhill success
isn't power... it's balance.Copy !req
214. I thought I had adjusted my FCCopy !req
215. to make it as fast as possible
both uphill and downhill.Copy !req
216. I knew I could handle
even more power downhill,Copy !req
217. so I upgraded the turbine
and raised the firing speed.Copy !req
218. But in the end, I had to lose all that power.Copy !req
219. Regardless of the reason,Copy !req
220. this downgrade was humiliating to me.Copy !req
221. I had to throw away my pride for this race.Copy !req
222. The Eight-Six is that tough of an opponent?Copy !req
223. I'm lucky that I've met
such an extraordinary racer.Copy !req
224. My racer blood is boiling up.Copy !req
225. Let's go.Copy !req
226. Less power, but fast!Copy !req
227. He clears the corners faster.Copy !req
228. There's no way my brother will lose to him now!Copy !req
229. Right now, I'm not Ryosuke
Takahashi of the Red Suns.Copy !req
230. I'm the lone wolf known as...Copy !req
231. ...Akagi's White Comet.Copy !req
232. I'll win this battle, no matter what!Copy !req
233. Takumi!Copy !req
234. Hey!Copy !req
235. --Race day is finally here!
--Yeah.Copy !req
236. It makes me angry, Takumi.Copy !req
237. Everyone thinks Ryosuke Takahashi will win.Copy !req
238. They say it's like a novice
fighting a heavyweight.Copy !req
239. Aren't you offended?Copy !req
240. Any plan for a big upset?Copy !req
241. Let me see...Copy !req
242. No.Copy !req
243. Those racers are headed to the pass.Copy !req
244. It's finally here.Copy !req
245. --Boss?
--Yeah?Copy !req
246. I've cleaned up outside.Copy !req
247. I'll see you tomorrow.Copy !req
248. Good job.Copy !req
249. --You're going to the race, right?
--Yes.Copy !req
250. You still don't think Takumi can win?Copy !req
251. No. I know he's exceptional,
but he's still in high school.Copy !req
252. He still has very little experience.Copy !req
253. I wonder how long he'll even
be able to stay in the race.Copy !req
254. Not me.Copy !req
255. I actually think he has a chance.Copy !req
256. --Why?
--Because...Copy !req
257. --Hey.
--Hey.Copy !req
258. I better hurry. Good night.Copy !req
259. Yeah.Copy !req
260. The only reason I think Takumi has a chance...Copy !req
261. ...is that he's Bunta's son.Copy !req
262. The son of that crazy Bunta...Copy !req
263. The crowd is gigantic, as expected.Copy !req
264. If I were Takumi, I would want to run away.Copy !req
265. I would be petrified in
front of all these people.Copy !req
266. --Isn't that Usui's Sileighty?
--Really?Copy !req
267. I was right.Copy !req
268. --They're both cute.
--Yeah.Copy !req
269. How about around here?Copy !req
270. We may see some good tactics
at these complex corners.Copy !req
271. By the way, Mako...Copy !req
272. ...which one are you rooting for?Copy !req
273. Which one?Copy !req
274. The Eight-Six, right?Copy !req
275. Me, too.Copy !req
276. He has a mysterious charismaCopy !req
277. that only those who have
raced him can recognize.Copy !req
278. You want to root for him
even though he beat you.Copy !req
279. Besides, he's...Copy !req
280. ...so cute! Right?Copy !req
281. Come on, Sayuki.Copy !req
282. It's almost 9:30.Copy !req
283. This is it!Copy !req
284. I'm so pumped up!Copy !req
285. Here come the Red Suns.Copy !req
286. The Takahashi brothers are so cool!Copy !req
287. --This is the enemy, eh?
--Ryosuke!Copy !req
288. Ryosuke Takahashi is finally here.Copy !req
289. Now we wait for Takumi to show up.Copy !req
290. The Eight-Six is not here yet.Copy !req
291. I expected that.Copy !req
292. He always shows up at the very last minute.Copy !req
293. Keisuke...Copy !req
294. I've been thinking about this for a long time,Copy !req
295. but when I lose a street race...Copy !req
296. ...I'll retire.Copy !req
297. What?! What are you saying?Copy !req
298. You'll never lose.Copy !req
299. Just hear me out.Copy !req
300. By "retire," I don't mean quitting racing.Copy !req
301. I'll just step down from the number-one spot.Copy !req
302. I'll still continue to contribute to the team.Copy !req
303. What about our "fastest in Kanto" plan?Copy !req
304. It can't happen without you!Copy !req
305. Don't make a face.Copy !req
306. I have no intention of losing yet.Copy !req
307. Remember this, though...Copy !req
308. It is inevitable that someday
I will lose to someone.Copy !req
309. By the way, there are only two racersCopy !req
310. who I think could beat me one day.Copy !req
311. One of them is you, Keisuke.Copy !req
312. --Me?
--That's right.Copy !req
313. I see a racing genius within you.Copy !req
314. You'll be even faster one day.Copy !req
315. And the other is...Copy !req
316. Takumi is here!Copy !req
317. Yay, Takumi!Copy !req
318. The other one is the Eight-Six, isn't it?Copy !req
319. I won't lose to anyone just yet.Copy !req
320. Tonight, I'm ready for
my full-scale drift battle!Copy !req
321. Ai ni tsukare hate samayotteta koroCopy !req

335. What's wrong, Takumi?Copy !req
336. I've been taking challenges as they come,Copy !req
337. but this race seems very
different from the others.Copy !req
338. --Yeah?
--My heart's pounding,Copy !req
339. and I don't know what to do.Copy !req
340. --Yeah?
--I find racing very fun and exciting.Copy !req
341. --Yeah!
--I'm not sure how successful I'll be...Copy !req
342. A very different Takumi is fired up!Copy !req
343. Next on Initial D: "The Last Battle!"Copy !req
344. Don't miss it!Copy !req
