The Battle Begins!
How's the booster pressure?
It's okay.
Don't forget to check the tire pressure.
Okay.
We'll win today's race. It's a piece of cake.
Shut up and keep on working.
Geez...
Hey, hand me that cross wrench.
What're they doing?
Changing the tires of the FD.
They seem to have a few sets in the van.
Changing the tires according to the situation?
They're serious.
Dammit.
It's ready anytime, Keisuke.
Arigato.
Hey, isn't it 10:00 yet?
It's still 9:40.
Shit.
Brother, that Eight-Six hasn't showed up yet.
I'm getting pissed.
I was sure it would represent Akina.
My prediction was wrong. It's such a turn off.
Unless I humiliate them by winning the time attack by a big margin...
...I can't ease my anger.
Iketani, it's almost time.
Yeah, I know.
Who's that?
Senpai!
Iketani!
Itsuki...
W...what about the time attack?
It's about to start.
Great, I made it in time.
Who's gonna run for the Speedstars?
Kenji, you'd better prepare yourself.
You're representing the team?
Good luck, I'm with you!
This is the starting point. Are you ready?
This is the finish. Everyone's in position.
We can begin any time.
Okay.
You heard that. Shall we begin?
So he didn't come after all.
I'm counting on you, Kenji.
Okay...
Gimme a break. How can you be my opponent?
Kenji, you don't look good.
You're sweating a lot. It's painful looking at you.
Even if you say so...
Guts! Put your guts into it!
Alright, let's begin the countdown.
Ten seconds...
Hold a second! This is the finish line!
A car just passed by.
It could interfere.
Should we wait until it reaches the peak?
This is a public street. There might as well be oncoming traffic.
Don't worry, let's begin!
Okay.
Wait. Can you ask him what kind of car it was?
Can you tell what kind of car it was?
Let me see... It's got retractable lights.
It's probably an Eight-Six Trueno.
Give it to me.
What color was that Eight-Six?
Why're you asking me such things?
White and black.
A panda Trueno.
He's here.
Here comes my target.
What do I do? Continue counting down?
Stop counting down, and wait until the Eight-Six arrives.
The One-Eighty beside me isn't my true opponent.
Right?
Yeah, you're right.
Kenji, you can relax.
I'm saved.
Your eyes are watery.
Same as yours.
That old man has come to save the pride of Akina's Road Racers.
That's more than enough.
It doesn't matter if we win or lose.
What the hell...?
I feel awkward.
People are standing at every corner.
What're they doing?
I've come to a strange place.
What the heck...
...if I win, the tank will be full, and I can go to the beach without hesitation.
What's wrong, Takeshi?
He's good.
The rear of the car, just leaving the corner, looked very steady.
Didn't you see?
Even if you say so...
It looked like any other ordinary Eight-Six.
Cars driven by those who can control their car like their hands and legs give off auras.
A strong aura surrounds Takahashi Ryosuke's driving.
It's still weak for his brother, Keisuke.
But that Eight-Six had a strong aura.
If he's representing Akina, we can't predict which one's gonna win.
Almost. He's really here.
The fastest on Akina's downhill.
A legendary super technician.
We can show the Takahashi brothers the true potential of Akina.
Come on, Eight-Six.
I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of driver he is.
I haven't felt such anticipation in a long time.
He put things off till the last minute.
But that trick won't work on me.
Let me watch carefully.
There it is!
Clear the street! Guide it to the starting line!
What's that car for?
They were waiting for that car?
But that's only an Eight-Six.
Shit. Where did all these people come from?
Fujiwara Tofu Shop (Private Vehicle)
Excuse me...
Could that Eight-Six be...?
Takumi...
T...that's...
So he's the one.
Takumi!
What's going on? What happened to your father?
I came here because Dad told me to.
Even if the car's here, it won't do anything unless your father is, too!
What should we do, Iketani?
This wasn't supposed to happen.
I shouldn't have come after all.
That shitty old man pisses me off.
Takumi, didn't your father say anything besides that?
Dad only told me to go to the mountain peak and defeat the FD on Akina's downhill.
Your father told you to drive?
Yeah.
Can you defeat...
...Takahashi Keisuke?
I won't know unless I try...
...but I defeated him once.
Defeated him once...?
He'll give me a full tank of gas if I win.
So, if you let me try, I'll win, no matter what.
Excuse me...
Umm, excuse me, excuse me.
Takumi, you complete moron!
Ouch!
What's wrong with you?
Takumi, how can you be so stupid?
I'm so embarrassed just looking at you!
Just move the car, and don't interfere with the time attack!
Get in the Eight-Six...
Hold on a sec, Itsuki.
Iketani, I'm very sorry!
He's so dumb, and he doesn't know anything!
Please forgive him!
Takumi, your father isn't the only one delivering tofu, right?
You do too, don't you?
For the past five years, I've been the only one.
For the past five years?
I finally get it, Takumi.
Okay, you'll drive the time attack on the downhill.
W...what're you saying, Iketani?
If an amateur like Takumi pushes too hard on Akina's downhill...
...he'll lose control and die instantly!
Don't worry, just go to the corner and watch.
I'm glad you're here, Takumi.
I'm counting on you.
Okay.
Sorry to keep you waiting.
Dammit, I'm tired of waiting.
He's so young.
Your name?
Fujiwara Takumi.
I'll remember that.
I'm Takahashi Keisuke.
I won't make the same mistake twice.
Is it alright?
A race between an Eight-Six and an FD is so unfair.
Its power is totally outclassed, and the FD is Japan's best cornering machine.
The Eight-Six is no match for it on the straightaways or corners.
All I can do is believe.
I'm starting the countdown.
Okay.
Ten seconds to start!
Nine...
...eight...
...seven...
...six...
...five...
...four...
...three...
...two...
...one...
Go!
Takahashi Keisuke's FD is so fast!
350 horsepower isn't just for show, and his clutch meet was perfect.
This won't be a race.
The full acceleration of the Eight-Six almost looked like it wasn't moving.
Takumi...
Judging from the start dash, that Eight-Six has 150 horsepower at most.
It's far from the monster Keisuke says it is.
The reason why the shift timing is quick...
...is because it has a close transmission, just like a rally car.
That suits Akina's tight hairpin curves perfectly.
Even so, I can't find any factor for that Eight-Six to defeat Keisuke's FD.
The monster isn't the car.
Could it be the driver?
I won't hold back.
It's not my style to go full out on the straightaway, but this is a time attack...
I won't see the Eight-Six in my rear view mirror again.
What the hell...?
This is the first corner!
That Eight-Six took an incredible line!
It was 5 cm from the guardrail!
I've never seen any car that turns so fast!
What?!
He's gaining on me.
His car is getting closer.
No, it's not.
Something so absurd can't happen.
A...are you serious?
Takumi's father is a great Road Racer?
Yeah.
I've seen him a few times.
He looked like an ordinary tofu shop guy.
You can't judge a person by appearances.
The manager told me that he's still the fastest on Akina's downhill.
Anyway, that old man sent Takumi here instead...
...so we have to believe in him.
Yeah, it's much better than me driving.
But no matter how fast his dad is, if it's Takumi...
Actually, it seems that Takumi has defeated Takahashi Keisuke once.
Takumi has defeated Takahashi Keisuke?!
You must be kidding!
I can't believe it.
That stupid Takumi actually did?
He didn't even know what Eight-Six meant.
W...what's going on with that Eight-Six?!
It entered the corner at incredible speed while skidding the rear...
...and exited at very high speed!
I don't know if it lost control! It's just so exciting to watch!
He caught me! What's going on?
It's driving me crazy!
Shit!
Initial acceleration in second gear is almost the same, but he can stretch it longer.
The gap widens on the straightaway.
This is from the straightaway in front of the skating rink! They've just passed us!
Keisuke is being pushed.
Akina's Eight-Six is damned fast.
Holy shit!
I've never seen anyone charging on Keisuke's FD so close!
I'm getting goose bumps.
He's pulled away on the long straightaway again...
...but the hairpins are coming up, so he might be in trouble.
Did you hear, Ryosuke?
We've made a misjudgement.
We didn't expect Akina to have such a skilled driver.
Incredible entry!
It was an entry oriented kamikaze drive!
He lacks any fear of the downhill!
I'm faster on the straightaway, but he's still charging in.
He's better at cornering work.
It's a Road Racer's worst disgrace to be tailed by an underpowered car.
I won't accept that, no matter what!
That shitty old man won't call it a win unless I overtake that car.
It can't be helped, because the prize is a full tank of gas.
The attack point is the five hairpin curves ahead.

Finally, the race has begun, Takumi!
Yeah.
Did you practice for this battle?
Not really.
It's just like delivering tofu.
So your daily work is effective.
That's about right.
Do you have any secret plan to overtake the FD?
It's not really a secret, but...
You have to win to use the Eight-Six with a full tank of gas to date Natsuki, don't you?

End of the Dogfight!
Yeah.
Next time on Initial D...
