INITIAL
Information, spreads in a matter of seconds.
...but we don't know how to choose it.
Those who say, "Money can't buy my love..."
...deserves a lariat three times.
We make love according to the manuals.
We don't notice the lack of love.
Before we suffocate, let's yell. Ho!!!
In the midnight dream.
No place to relax in the sleepless city.
We smile without dropping our guard.
It's safe to lie and the truth is empty.
I desperately wanna shut and break out.
Now, we gotta start. Let's get moving.
Let's move into the brand new world.
Let's dive into the brand new trip.
You're afraid of a big world.
It's just begun.
Now we go full speed and funky beat.
You'll surely shine.
Around the world.
Trip to the world.
Yo! Here we go to an unknown world.
You're a newborn traveler.
Unstable footsteps are fun to watch.
Get things done right, only when needed.
So many people in this world...
...sometimes, you'll receive slanders.
Let's warp uninteresting things...
...and lead at least a rational life.
That's our law.
He caught me! What's going on?
It's driving me crazy!
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!
I've never seen anyone charging on Keisuke's FD so close!
I'm getting goose bumps.
Incredible entry!
That Eight-Six performed an incredible entry oriented kamikaze drive!
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.
End of the Dogfight!
Shit!
What's happening?
It feels like my FD is slower than usual.
Did the secondary turbine stop?
This is the peak. Can you hear me?
Ryosuke?
They'll pass through the five hairpins soon.
I want your live report.
Make it as detailed as possible.
Okay.
They're just around the corner. I can hear the squealing sounds.
They'll pass by soon.
Here comes Keisuke's FD, and the Eight-Six is following!
There's no gap between them!
That Eight-Six is incredible! It's performing perfect braking drifts!
Keisuke's turn-in is slower!
He's also good at exiting! It's so close to the guardrail!
They're entering the second hairpin! There's no gap at all!
They're even at the exit!
The FD is moving to the outside, and the Eight-Six is...
He's not slowing down for the hairpin?!
What the hell is he thinking?!
The Eight-Six is heading for the hairpin at incredible speed!
Did his brakes go out?
What the hell was that...?
Keisuke was passed so easily on the inside!
That's ridiculous!
That doesn't tell us anything! Explain what happened!
Well...even though we saw it...
You know how a car can't turn beyond its tires' grip speed, right?
But the Eight-Six, even though it was on a disadvantageous inside line...
...turned strangely, just like it was on a roller coaster.
I don't understand what happened!
I know what the Eight-Six did.
It's so silly, but no one else could do it.
And it can only happen on Akina.
I've found an incredible idiot.
I'm looking forward to this.
The one who will defeat the downhill specialist of Akina...
...will be me, Nakazato Takeshi of the Myogi Night kids.
This is the finish line, I can hear their engines. They'll be here soon!
Here they come! Which one...?!
It's the Eight-Six!
My god, what happened?!
Keisuke's FD just showed up, but he's too far behind to close the gap!
The Eight-Six is way ahead!
Shit!
How could my FD be defeated by an Eight-Six?
It's impossible.
A 350 horsepower car was outrun by a crappy Eight-Six?!
They've crossed the finish line!
Keisuke lost!
He did it!
Am I still having a bad dream?
I was defeated by the Eight-Six not once but twice?
That stupid Takumi won!
Incredible...incredible.
I'm so thrilled. My head is spinning.
He did it.
Yeah.
Iketani, don't cry, you idiot.
I'm so impressed.
Let's ask him to teach us things like drift control and line taking.
Put a Speedstars sticker on his car without telling him.
Okay, I'll do that!
I'll leave that to you then.
We were totally defeated. We have to admit that.
What about the uphill time attack, Ryosuke?
It's meaningless, even if we win on the uphill.
By tomorrow...
...everyone will know that the Akina Eight-Six defeated the undefeated Redsuns.
We'll have our revenge with my FC soon.
A full tank of gas... You promised.
You promised, okay?
So he won.
I knew he would before he left.
The right side is where the Eight-Six passed me.
I can't understand why the Eight-Six turned faster on the inside edge than my FD.
It scares me every time I recall.
Maybe he really is a ghost.
Keisuke, tell me what happened.
Did you notice anything strange?
Come to think of it, I heard a strange scraping sound.
Strange sound?
I see. I got it.
I can tell you why you were defeated.
He used this.
The gutter?
Yes.
He dropped his inner tires into the gutter on purpose, to withstand the centrifugal force.
That way, it's theoretically possible to obtain cornering force which exceeds tire grip.
It's such a plain, simple, and silly idea...
...but you just can't do it on the spur of the moment.
He's probably done it many times.
He must push himself to the limit on Akina.
Shit!
Well, I like the mountain passes because things like this can happen.
After such a long time, I finally feel like I've found a target that truly excites me.
Let's suspend the match next week.
We can't step up unless we record a perfect win on Akina.
I'll defeat the Eight-Six.
Bunta, are you there?
It's me.
So hot.
Oh, Yuichi.
Good timing.
I have a local commerce meeting now.
Why don't you give me a ride?
Say what? Are you using me as a taxi driver?
I heard Takumi was incredible.
That's all that Iketani and the others can talk about this morning.
He's not really that great.
The skill level of kids these days isn't very high, is it.
He doesn't even like driving a car.
Really?
I can't believe it since he has such skill.
To him, driving a car means nothing but helping the shop.
He's had to do it since middle school, so he doesn't feel any sense of enjoyment.
I see.
He's uninterested, or should I say bored.
But I think he felt something after the race on Akina's downhill yesterday.
Come to think of it, the Eight-Six was gone.
Where is Takumi?
I'm not sure, but he seemed excited and left home early.
It's cold.
Takumi, you're good at driving.
Really?
I usually get sick in cars...
...so I brought some medicine with me.
But thanks to your driving, I didn't feel sick.
This is the first time I've been in a car so long without getting sick.
Do you ride in cars that often?
N...not that often...
...like when the whole family takes a trip in my father's car.
Strange girl.
I just drove like I do to keep the water from spilling.
I felt strange yesterday.
I noticed as I was rapidly closing in on the car ahead of me...
...I was getting excited.
I've never felt that driving was very fun.
Even today, it's fun to drive with Mogi in the passenger seat.
Cars are pretty interesting.
Hey, Takumi.
Hey, hey!
You were thinking about something.
You weren't paying attention.
You're so mean.
How can you leave such a cute girl alone and go into your own world?
Sorry. What were we talking about?
I asked you if you have some girl you like.
Not really.
I do have someone I'm interested in a little, though.
What about you?
I have...
...someone I'm interested in a little, too.
What do you mean? Don't copy what I say.
Man, I don't know how many times I was asked the same question.
"Who was in that Eight-Six?"
I was asked so many times, too.
He defeated Takahashi Keisuke, so he might as well be famous.
I created hype by saying that it was the Speedstars' secret weapon.
I have to get Takumi to join the Speedstars or I'll look bad.
Senpai, leave that to me!
I'm Takumi's best friend.
He'll listen to me.
Are you sure, Itsuki?
Don't worry. I know his weaknesses, too.
Could you let me join the Speedstars, too?
If Takumi does, then I'll let you in, too.
Right?
Yeah.
Lucky! What a great deal!
But what'll you do without a car?
Thanks for asking. I've decided.
Oh, you finally saved up enough money?
I'll make my dad a guarantor, and get a loan to buy an Eight-Six!
Takumi has a panda Trueno, so I'll find a red or black Levin...
And someday, we'll be called the fastest Eight-Six pair on Akina.
But, Itsuki...
...Takumi's Eight-Six isn't normal.
Right. It was faster than the 350 HP FD.
It must be heavily tuned.
I'd like to take a look at its engine someday.
I'd like to ride with him when he attacks Akina's downhill at full speed.
How about you?
Yeah!
I wanna ride, too!
I'll reach an untouched zone I can't even imagine.
It must be greater than any roller coaster.
Damn that Takumi!
Wait a minute, Takumi.
Excuse me, but would you take a picture?
Sure.
Why're you taking a picture?
We came so far. It's for our souvenir.
Smile, smile.
Ready?
Sorry, one more picture. One more picture, please.
That's enough.
It's not.
That white FC...
It's Takahashi Ryosuke.
There goes the Redsuns number one driver.
Why's he here?
To avenge his brother. What else?
It's right after yesterday's match.
He must be pretty frustrated because that Eight-Six took all the fame.
An unfamiliar 32, isn't it?
That black 32 has a menacing presence.
Who's in it?

My pride says "You gotta be wild and tough."
I don't let others meddle in.
Never stop. I don't want to stop...
...even if I sacrifice my crying lover.
Head for the peak, and sweep the winding street.
By Fans for the Fans! Not for Sale or Rent!
Beep, beep! The warning sounds so cheap.
The sheep should make room.
`Cos I'm never gonna stop streakin' my dream.
Your motivation is easy.
Everything is simulated.
Note: the Trueno and the Levin share the same AE86 chassis.
Even if you want to break out, you'll end up in a safety zone.
You obtain something while you lose something else.
It won't change, even if the world is destroyed.
Beasty shout. No one can handle it.
The raging dream goes beyond time now.
Rage your dream to break through the darkness.
Like a stream to the peak.
It will eliminate the frozen night.
Rage your dream to explore the road.
Di-ding dang, another round, never slow down.
Knock down in comma zero one second.
You head for the next town, leaving trails.
Dust rises and the loser falls down to the ground.
The puffery, full of logic...
...is bothering, so let's ignore it.
The streaker disappears into the street.
Something they would know.
Rage your dream.
In the never-ending street...
...without looking back at your love or your past...
...you keep on going, so you shine.
Rage your dream.
You live in the present.
Damn, that Takumi is a traitor!
You look so angry, Itsuki.
He left his best friend behind, and went to the beach with Mogi!
You wanted to see Natsuki in her bathing suit, didn't you?
Damn right!
Takumi must've done things like this and things like that...
...or even everything!
