Now, we gotta start. Let's get moving.
Let's move into the brand new world.
Let's dive into the brand new trip.
Hiroi sekai ni obieteru

Now we go full speed and funky beat.

Around the world.
Trip to the world.
Yo! Here we go unknown world he to

So many people in this world...
...toki ni chuusyou toka mo nai wake ja nai kedo
Tsumannai took wa warp shitekou
Suji dake wa toosite ikiteru
That's our law.
The galleries are packed.
It looks like there're more people here than during the match against the FD.
That means the battle between Takumi and Nakazato of the Night Kids...
...has attracted a lot of attention.
What should I do? I'm feeling even more depressed.
The mood won't allow us to simply say it was a mistake.
Takumi...
...please come!
Just Before the Time Attack!
Shit.
Where did that stupid old man go?
Do you think you could win?
I'd win. Whether it's a 32 or not makes no difference.
Do you think I could win?
I know that you didn't accept the battle.
I'm telling you. You'd better stay away from the 32.
Takumi, the opponent is a 32, so even if you don't race, no one will think you ran away.
Run away?!
The Night Kids are here!
It's Nakazato with his 32.
It looks so powerful.
That black 32 deserves to be the king of the street.
So they're the Night Kids.
S...Senpai, if we're going to apologize, the sooner the better!
Yeah, but...
We still have time.
Let's go and ask him.
I don't think it's a good idea to drag him to a hopeless battle.
We won't know unless we try.
It's impossible. You'll understand if you cool down and think.
The opponent is a 32.
The power is totally different, and it's got 4WD ATTESA E-TS.
I thought so at the beginning...
...but since I got here, I started to believe.
The Eight-Six would have no chance on the circuit...
...but this is a mountain pass.
Since Takumi has been driving here for five years, we don't know what'll happen.
When Takumi drives, the Eight-Six becomes extraordinary.
It turns into a super machine with infinite potential.
Because I rode next to him, I can tell.
His driving is beyond our imagination.
Oh, the incident of that frightening downhill with you screaming.
And you passed out in the third corner.
His downhill driving is that different.
And there's one more person who feels the same way.
W...who's that?
There's one more person who has seen his driving up close.
That's...
Yes...
It's Takahashi Keisuke of the Redsuns.
The Takahashi brothers are here!
Now that the stars are on stage, I'm getting so excited!
Keisuke!
Ryosuke!
You're so cool!
They're good looking, so they attract girls.
Damn, only skill should make a Road Racer popular.
We can't defeat them in any way.
And they're rich.
I knew they'd show up.
I'm looking forward to the battle.
I'll prove who's the best in the Gunma Prefecture.
It's not the Eight-Six or the Takahashi brothers...
...it's me, Nakazato Takeshi of the Night Kids.
Asshole...
The Eight-Six hasn't shown up yet.
I'll have to go and convince Takumi.
Get in.
What's wrong, Itsuki?
I'll stay, Iketani.
I can't face Takumi.
I see.
Wait until the last moment, okay?
I'll bring Takumi, no matter what.
He will... Takumi will come.
Besides...
...I like this place.
I'm getting used to this.
Oh, dear Ryosuke.
Why...
I'm frustrated to death.
I want to go to Mt. Akina so much.
I don't know if I like to drive that much or not.
But I've been driving alone for five years, whether it was snowing or raining.
I've driven Akina more than anyone.
I want to test how good I am.
I want to challenge the GT-R with all my skill.
I've never felt this way before.
I'm not giving up, even though I don't have a car.
Instead, my desire to drive is getting stronger.
Dammit, Dad.
Where're you wandering around?
Takumi.
Iketani...
Say what?
Your dad left with the car, and hasn't come back?
Yeah.
Don't you know where he is?
I thought he'd be at a bar, so I called all the places I could think of.
And you couldn't get a hold of him.
The Eight-Six isn't here and we can't even persuade you!
This is unexpected.
Senpai, you came to persuade me?
Yeah.
The mountain is in an uproar.
Nakazato of the Night Kids and the Takahashi brothers are entertaining the galleries.
But you're today's main attraction.
Wait a minute. Please, don't.
No matter what you say, I can't do anything.
You won't change your mind, will you.
I don't mean that.
Actually, I was going to go.
What?!
But without a car, I can't do anything.
I've been so depressed, sitting here alone.
How could this be...?!
It's so frustrating.
Without a car... Without a car...
That's it.
Hey, Takumi, what about borrowing Kenji's 180?
That's a good idea!
It's got the same FR layout, and it has a turbo, so it's more powerful!
If you drive it, it'll run fast!
I don't think so.
Why not?
I don't want to drive someone else's car.
It has to be a car I'm familiar with.
That's true.
It's not a good thing among Road Racers to drive someone else's car.
I'll wait as long as I can. That's all I can do.
It's 9:45.
I guess they didn't make it.
He's late.
What time is it?
Almost 10:00.
We aren't gonna make it.
Where are you, Dad?
Please, come home.
We don't have time.
He's back.
That rhythm of revving up twice when turning from the interstate...
...that sound...
Dad's coming home.
You can tell by just listening to the exhaust sound?
Is that really your car?
I can tell. I'm positive.
The Takahashi brothers are here.
Yeah, they can't ignore this.
He told me that I'd be defeated.
That Takahashi Ryosuke is known for logical thinking, but he doesn't seem that good.
I'll defeat the Eight-Six in front of him, and humiliate him.
Let's do it.
If you're faster than the Eight-Six, which defeated Takahashi Keisuke...
We're faster than the Redsuns.
It's a good opportunity to let those galleries know one thing.
Drift driving can't defeat grip driving.
It's your favorite phrase.
Of course.
Drift is just a performance to excite the galleries.
It's not a technique to race with.
That sounds just like you, Takeshi.
When I was driving the 13, I learned drift, so I can tell.
When the master of drift uses a grip technique, he can drive even faster.
It was shocking when you were defeated by that 32.
Sorry, I wasn't supposed to say that.
I was changed at that moment.
I switched to the 32, the monster that defeated me, and my skill improved.
Who can call a person a Road Racer if he doesn't pursue better driving?
All everyone talks about is drift, drift, and thinks highly of those drivers.
I can't stand that.
Come on, Eight-Six.
Drifting with the FR layout is old hat. I'll prove that.
As usual, he isn't showing up until the last minute.
Do you think he'll really show up?
He said he wasn't interested, didn't he?
No, he'll be here.
I'm sure of it.
He'll definitely be here.
Well, that's what this is all about, so let me use the car, Dad.
You'd better hurry, Takumi. It's almost time.
Sorry, but I'm borrowing Takumi.
When we return, I'll buy ten fried tofu.
I'll buy ganmodoki, too.
W...wait.
Takumi's eyes looked different.
What's going on?
Oh well, he'll be able to race evenly with that setting.
The mountain pass is close. I wonder if you can keep up with him, Kenji.
Oh, come on, Iketani.
That's a 1.6 liter non-turbo.
I've got a 2.0 liter turbo.
I'm not sure about the downhill, but if he pulls away on the uphill, I'll lose face.
I'm one of the top three of the Speedstars.
He's so fast.
Me too!
Exit the corner, then full acceleration!
He's gone.
The Eight-Six has vanished.
Takumi was also looking away in the entrance ceremony picture.
Two more minutes till 10:00 pm.
I guess they didn't make it.
I'd better give up and apologize.
No, Iketani told me to wait. If I go off on my own again...
But it was my fault, and it has nothing to do with the Speedstars.
I'd better prepare for one or two punches...
There are so many of them!
I don't think I'll be forgiven with only a punch or two!
No way. I want to run away.
They won't forgive me easily if the Eight-Six doesn't show up.
Even if I kneel to the ground, they won't forgive me. I might be killed.
Father, Mother, help me. Please, God.
I've never slept with a girl, and I don't wanna die!
There! There he is!
No. They found me.
I can't even run away.
I'll be killed.
What're you doing, Itsuki, sitting in the middle of the road?
T...T...T...
You're in my way. I'm gonna run over you.
Takumi, you came!
Yeah.
Sorry I'm late, Itsuki.
Takumi...
Road Racers have to accept challenges, don't they?
Takumi...
Stop it! Hey, Itsuki!
That's more like it.
This is Fujiwara Tofu Shop.
Oh, it's you, Yuichi.
You're there?
I don't know what's going on.
He wanted to go to the mountain himself.
Like father, like son.
Besides, Bunta, tonight's opponent is a GT-R.
Honestly speaking, do you think he has a chance of winning?
The Eight-Six finally showed up. Keisuke, he came as you predicted.
Yeah.
Weren't you going to tell him the weakness of the 32?
I was going to, but I decided not to.
After seeing his face, I started hating him.
He's my enemy, after all.
Besides...
...even if he doesn't know its weakness, he won't lose.
Did you give him any advice?
Not really.
Even if it's the GT-R, it has its weakness.
The weakness of the 32 is...
...the weight of the body.
Understeering due to the super heavy front load.
Suspension tuning and driving technique can't change its fundamental characteristics.
After pushing hard on the downhill, the front tires and brakes will weaken.
Even if the brakes are tuned...
...by the time he reaches the base of the mountain...
...he has to cope with understeering at the corners' entrances.
His chance of winning lies at the entrance of the corners in the second half.
The key point of this battle...
...is whether the Eight-Six can keep up with the 32 until then or not.
I changed the suspension setting of the Eight-Six a little.
The suspension? How?
Heavy understeering when the gas pedal is open.
What?! Heavy understeering?!
Drift is Takumi's style. What's on your mind, Bunta?
Will he be able to keep up with the GT-R with that setting?
Don't you get it, Yuichi?
If the driver is skilled...
...he can depress the accelerator harder when it comes to the FR layout.
He has to deliver tofu, so the setting is usually compromised a little bit.
He can open the throttle longer with the current setting.
If the driver is skilled...
...I'm sure he can handle it.

Nakazato, how's your chance of winning against the Eight-Six?
Psheesh. It's so obvious.
So, the 32 will win. But Takahashi Ryosuke...
He's hesitant because his brother was defeated.
I'll show them that I'm the fastest in Gunma...
...and grip driving is superior. He'll just be eating my dust.
What's that "psheesh?"
It's only action, action!
