What happened to Kazami Hayato?!
He's making a pit stop with 5 laps to go!
It appears to be a tire problem. The 7th race French GP
It appears to be a tire problem.
Schumacher just turned the last corner!
Will the leader get a change?!
How fast!
Will Kazami be able to sneak ahead of Schumacher?!
He did it!
He takes the first corner!
Oh! A spin-out!
Kazami disapproves!
The new tires weren't warm enough!

And the 9th race... The 9th race Spanish GP
You can't pass!
He won't let you!
Will Schumacher be able to attain three consecutive wins
following the French GP and the German GP?!
Skillful defending... He won't allow anyone to get in front of him!
If Schumacher wins, it would give him 10 points, making his overall score 40 points.
Randoll lost his place to Shinjyo after his retirement in the 8th race.
Who knows who's going to get the championship.
Randoll, who's competing against Gudelhian for 3rd place is being held back!
What am I doing here?
I don't have time to play with you!
What?!
Whoa! Randoll and Gudelhian just crashed!
Randoll seems okay...
But Steel is damaged pretty badly.
It looks like Gudelhian can't get out of the cockpit on his own.
A stretcher is being brought in.
Meanwhile, Schumacher is on his final lap. Victory is right there in front of him!
What happened to Schumacher?!
He almost went off the course!
What happened?
Any problems?
No, nothing's wrong with the machine.
However, he still gets the checkered flag as first place!
Well done, Schumacher!
Evading Kazami and Shinjyo's pursuit, he is three times victories!
It's like a circuit's solo masquerade.
Is anyone out there able to stop him?!
Osamu-san...
The time has come...
A dangerous dream is beckoning us
Let's put ourselves to the challenge
Burn our souls with passion and grasp the victory
on this path that goes far beyond
LET'S GET IT LET'S TAKE IT
WHAT DO YOU WANT?
KEEP GOING KEEP RUNNING
JUST ON MY WAY
With my own way
Don't be afraid ONE WAY DRIVING
Surpassing the reality
To the future ALL NIGHT DRIVING
Shake off our memories
DON'T STOP! DREAMER ON THE ROAD
The Morning of the Final Race
Three months?! The Morning of the Final Race
It's a simple fracture, but in order to return to racing
at least that amount of time is needed. Including the rehabilitation.
Don't, Gudelhian-san.
Excuse me.
Hey, Miss!
I was doing rehab on my hands.
Don't look at me like that!
I'm sorry!
Whoa!
Huh?
It was all my fault that you ended up like this.
There may be some strength and safety issues regarding the rolling cockpit system.
Stop it.
What happened was my fault.
I'm proud of that machine and put everything I could dream up into it.
The results from several tests, however,
show that I wont be able to race in all 10 circuits due to my physical strength.
I asked you to drive
because I believed you'd bring out the machine's potential
and we might be able to claim the championship this season.
Gudelhian, I'm talking seriously here!
I'm listening.
But it's over.
The press will criticize Steel's safety.
What's with you?
You aren't yourself!
Steel is a good machine, and it's safe.
The press can't criticize it, no way!
We're going to prove it to everyone.
Prove it?
You'll run the final race.
We can't be this season's champion, but...
That doesn't mean we're going home depressed.
Gudelhian...
But, you know, I don't think someone who hasn't driven in a year cab do any better!
Ouch!
Schumacher...
Everything is his fault!
My pace has been messed up ever since he showed up.
Can a guy who uses dirty tricks be regarded as a champion in the world of Cyber Formula?
Randoll...
I've had enough of running in the same circuits as him.
You quit too!
It's not worth being part of such a race.
Young Master...
So you'll admit your defeat?
What?
Unless you defeat that man, everything you say will be an excuse.
What's that?!
Hayato...
Let's go, Asuka.
Eh?
Um, wait!
Please wait.
Hayato-sama...
Randoll.
I'm disappointed that we won't be fighting in the final race.
Young Master...
Hayato!
Um, this...
Hey, wait!
Ridiculous!
Such a race... what meaning does winning have?
Young Master.
W-What...
You're desire to win is part of who you are, and that's also what I'm so proud of.
However, what is this mess you're in?!
What?!
You're not only afraid that you can't defeat Schumacher-sama....
You're afraid to get beaten by him!
Afraid?
Nonsense!
Then why are you so particular about Schumacher-sama?
Hayato-sama racing his race.
Why don't you race your race?
What do you know about me?!
Get out of here!
I don't want to see your face anymore!
Young Master...
Hayato.
What is it?
Is Randoll really not going to run 10th race?
I think he's just sulking.
Just like me.
He doesn't like my brother so much.
Yeah...
Especially Randoll.
But I don't blame him.
Why would me brother do such a thing?
Huh?
My dad said to believe him,
but he wasn't being fair.
What Knight Schumacher cares about is winning.
He wants to be champion even if he has to crush Hayato and Randoll.
Asuka...
I'm going to sleep now.
Yokohama
I'm home!
Welcome home.
Make yourself at home.
Where's Asuka-san?
She went home with Claire-san.
By the way, that bike out front, that's...
It's our guest's.
Your guest.
What?!
He says he's your friend.
And he's been... Oh, Hayato!
Kaga-san!
Yo, Hayato!
Welcome back!
I'm surprised.
Did you know where I live?
Yeah, kind of.
But anyway, what a nice house you live in.
What's the matter all of a sudden?
Argh! Th-That's...
What's there to be shy about?
Do you need me for anything?
Yeah, um... let's see...
Hayato!
You owe me some debts, right?
Y-Yes...
You helped me practice cornering the other day...
And the Fire Ball a long time ago.
That's good; you didn't forget.
The deal is that... I need you to pay me back some of it...
Y-Yes...
Five! That's it!
50,000 yen... is that it?
No!
S-Sorry, 500,000 yen? No!
S-Sorry, 500,000 yen?
Tickets! The tickets!
The tickets for the Japan Grand Prix!
I can't find them anywhere. I'm begging you!
Honestly...
All right, take care of the tickets!
Okay.
Can a guy who uses such dirty tricks be regarded as a champion in the world of Cyber Formula?
You quit too!
It's not worth being a part of such a race.
Stop it.
Don't lie to me like that.
You said you wouldn't force yourself.
You said you'd quit when it became risky.
You promised me that, Osamu-san!
Your eyes are already unfit for racing.
In Spain, you couldn't even finish the winning lap!
It's suicide!
It's not only your driving career, but also your life...
What's wrong, Claire?
It's nothing.
I'll take to you later.
Claire-san, were you...
It's none of your business.
It's about Osamu-niisan, right?
Then it is my business!
You're wrong.
Liar!
Please tell me.
His eyes... What happened to his eyes?
Don't tell me he can't see!
That isn't exactly right...
But...
All right.
Looks like I have no choice but to tell you.
I need Hayato-kun in here as well.
TL Note: Charles Smith was the former team representative of Missing Link. During Cyber Formula TV, Smith sends Bootsvorz to destroy Asurada and in turn, injures Osamu's eyes in a car crash. You two know more about the conflict with Smith that injured Osamu-san than I do.
Yes.
But those injuries were supposed to have healed already...
He thought so too.
But there was a small scar left in the optic nerve.
Of course, it's not like he'll be blind right away.
Yes, if he hadn't continued racing it might have been nothing.
He lost hope after seeing the results from the second test.
Lost hope?
In racing, you have to deal with endless amounts of strain
and need keen eyesight more than ever.
If he continues racing, it's not only dangerous to him,
but he'll also damage the optic nerve even more, and he may someday lose his sight.
I think he made his choice when doctor told him
that he's going to quit racing.
That can't be...
Then why is he driving in the Cyber Formula with those eyes?
Because of you, Hayato-kun.
Hayato did very good last year.
I'm not going to say his victory was just luck.
But the world of motor sports isn't that lenient.
Hayato didn't enter the world of racing of his own will.
But for his luck, he was blessed with a very good machine.
And in the end, victory.
It's hard to tell him to take the racing world lightly.
Indeed.
I don't think Hayato his ideas are lenient.
I want to make Hayato a strong racer.
He's not like Randoll,
but I think Hayato also possesses great talent.
Certainly...
No matter how good a machine Asurada is, if the driver fails, then three will never be victory.
But this will be the end if the situation doesn't improve.
Hayato and the team, they've been stereotyped without knowing it.
They can't break a wall if they don't see it themselves.
Is that why you will.
Please, Claire...
Asurada's performance can't be fully realized with the crew they have right now.
But...
In time, I won't be able to race.
I want to teach them before it happens.
Both pleasure and pain in true victory.
Why didn't you tell me this until now?
To teach you not to be lenient.
If you knew, would you be able to have a serious fight with Osamu-san?
I shouldn't have told you this before the final race, though...
Osamu-san is an amazing person after all.
I-I didn't know anything about it, and I said such mean things to my brother...
Don't worry.
He understands.
I wonder if he's going to run the final race...
Probably.
Let's stop him.
He's done enough.
If something happens to my brother, I...
I can't stop him.
Both the inertial drift and the points I have... I owe everything to him.
He's given me all the time he has left as a racer.
I must live up to his expectations.
But even so...
Osamu-san is risking his life trying to teach us.
I can't let it go to waste.
Never!
Okay.
Nii-san and Hayato, you guys haven't changed.
You never go back on your word, and...
you never understand how I feel.
Sorry...

Yes, indeed.

Last year's champion, Kazami Hayato, is tied for 3rd with Randoll at 36 points.
If one of the top two racers takes second place, they'll fall behind in the overall point ranking.
This is going to be a tough race.
Warm-up run finishes
This is an exceptional case, but I'm giving you a team order.
A team order?
I want you to backup Shinjyo0-kun in today's final race.
What do you mean by that?
The chances of me talking the championship are high since I have the pole position.
Certainly.
You have great odds of winning if nothing happens.
But your eyes... Did you think I wouldn't notice?
His eyes?
Owner, what do you mean?
In the end, the one you raised is still most precious, right?
What did you say?!
Just a moment!
Shinjyo-kun, please be quiet.
I don't any support!
Who do you think we are?!
We both have the chance to become World Champion!
There's no meaning in racing if you don't win.
Shinjyo-kun, I want the victory to be certain.
This is your chance too, isn't it?
Yes, it is!
That's why I want to go at it directly and win!
You're too optimistic, Shinjyo-kun.
Do you really think you can win on your own?
I can't say for sure.
But that kind of victory is worthless.
I would rather be in last place knowing I used my own abilities!
Suit yourself, then!
The mechanics will give priority to Shinjyo-kun to the end.
If you can't win with that, you have no excuses!
I'm sorry.
It appears to me that you don't want to be champion.
What?!
But then, in case you've changed your mind,
you need to let me know before the race starts.
I'm not a child who needs your support.
C-Tires. Traction. We'll go with B-pattern aero save.
Increase the number of uses of the boost with permanent settings on the engine...
Do you really want to go by this?
Without the maximum use of Double-One's top speed and the inertial drift, I won't be able to beat Schumacher.
In order to gain a higher top speed, you'll lose downforce at the corner.
There will be a higher burden placed upon you.
Also, the stress on the brakes and engine...
Do not take 1,000km lightly.
I know that very well.
There's going to be more gas refills and tire changes, which may give everyone a little trouble.
But I want to get the championship with all the strength I have.
For myself and for everyone on the team.
I believe this is the only way I know how to answer that person.
That's all. Any questions?
Good luck to everyone.
Drivers' meeting finishes
Can you run the final race like that, Sugo?
I'm not blind.
I don't know about the other people,
But did you think I wouldn't have noticed seeing you run like that?
Your eyes!
You and I still have unfinished business, don't we?
I'm going to retire after this race.
This is your last chance if you want to do it.
What did you say?!
Okay, I won't be easy on you.
I'm at the pole position, but you're at the 4th grid.
It isn't quite fair, but it's part of the game.
You'd better hurry and catch up to me.
You're as unlikable as ever.
I've heard...
about your eyes.
I see.
I won't be... beaten by you.

Who will come out of this highly-contested race on top?
The starting time is approaching!
Damn it! I overslept!
Why am I here?
The race is worthless...
The battle that I might lose...
I don't understand.
What does it mean? "My race."...
All right!
Hayato...
I appreciate it.
Even though I always make you worry,
I won't make this race a sad ending that would make you cry.
So watch over the battle between Osamu-san and I until the end.
I love you, Hayato.
Osamu-san, as a driver and also as a man,
you're far superior to me.
But in this race, I want to surpass you!
Hayato!
Nii-san!
Speed is the magic that gives us direction
the last of God's power drive
Now we can move on without hesitation
To a brand new that's alive
Believe each other
Because the joy that you find
Lasts just a moment in time
Believe each other
Two hearts with one single mind
Can take us where our hearts desire
Be cause it may not be the brightest of times
We must hold on together tight this time
So if we keep on dreaming
All can come true
We'll reach the light that's at the end of the rainbow
It may not be the happiest of times
To morrow you will see a rising sun
So keep on dreaming, always believe in yourself
Yes lead the way and make it for someone
So run like the wind and charge ahead
To the end, We are Winners.
