A New Eight-Six is Born
It's cold.
Why don't you get the electric heater out, Dad?
It's cold because you're lazy. Get your butt moving.
Geez, you sound like a gym teacher.
Wha...?
Is it fixed, Dad?
Does it run already?
Of course it runs. It's got a new engine.
You'll do the delivery with it starting today.
I have something to tell you, Takumi...
I used the money you earned to fix this car...
...so half of this car is yours.
But I broke it. Is it alright?
It wasn't through your actions that the car broke, so it wasn't your fault.
It wasn't only the money you earned at the gas station...
...but also the money you made delivering tofu.
You should take good care of it.
Anyway, that's what I've decided.
Don't give me a hard time, just go make the delivery.
It feels awkward.
It's because your eyeline is lower in the bucket seat.
After you drive for a while, it won't bother you.
The steering is heavier.
And the clutch, too.
As soon as you engage the clutch...
...you'll feel indescribable awkwardness.
Have fun with your boyfriend in the Benz.
Boyfriend in the Benz.
Have fun... in the Benz.
Your boyfriend...
Why does Takumi know...?
Why...?
Why did it have to be Takumi?
It's cruel. It's so cruel.
If this is a dream, please let me wake up now.
I don't understand this at all. It's so hard to drive.
What's wrong?
What? Your Eight-Six is repaired?!
Really?
Did you drive it already, Takumi?
How was it?
It ran fine.
Hey!
We know it runs. What we want to know is...
They'll be surprised, because that new engine is so awesome.
What kind of engine is it? How do you feel about the engine?
Is it fast?
What can I say...?
If I tell you, you'll be disappointed.
It's slower than the car's old engine.
It doesn't have any power.
I'm a lonely driver, a demon on the mountain pass...
An Eight-Six? Cool.
I haven't seen this car around here.
Hey, Takumi...
...what do you mean about the new engine not being powerful?
I don't know how to say this, but it's slow.
It shouldn't be...
Bunta said it's so good.
Dad said that?
I don't think it's good.
It's more difficult to drive.
Well, of course it's more difficult, but it should have more power...
...because its origin is incredible.
Manager, do you know what kind of engine it is?
Did you have a ride?
Well, I didn't, but...
I don't know what's going on.
With that engine, why doesn't it have any power, Bunta?
Roll bars and a bucket seat...
So cool.
If I had an Eight-Six, I'd want to install those, too.
It has a boost meter!
Which means that this Eight-Six is...
...turbo charged!
It's my ideal Levin! I want one!
I want this Levin! I want...!
Hey!
What're you doing? That's our car.
Well, what do I...?
I just thought that it's a nice car.
Nice car?
It's an ordinary Japanese car you can find anywhere.
You're suspicious.
You were going to vandalize the car because it has an outsider's tag.
Gimme a break! Why would I do that?!
Don't yell at me so loudly. What's your problem?
Let me tell you! I just like Eight-Sixes!
Don't screw with me!
Gunma doesn't have the kind of scum who'd vandalize someone's car!
What a rude girl.
Kazumi...
I found the inn where our aunt is working.
What's wrong?
Nothing.
Gunma sucks.
What're you talking about? We just arrived.
You'll be living here for a while, so you'll have to put up with a lot.
Besides, I'm worried, because you're not patient.
Even though it's only for the fall season, you'll be working with customers...
...so don't do anything stupid to trouble our aunt.
I'll be fine.
Even if you meet a rude customer, don't lose patience and get mad.
Same to you.
Just because you came to Gunma, doesn't mean you can go race on Akagi.
I won't.
Especially during the crowded daytime on Sunday.
You can't hide it from me.
You'll challenge Akagi's white FC soon, right?
The FC...?
Well, who knows.
It's about the engine.
Takumi said the car is slower.
Oh?
Did you do something to the car?
I didn't do anything bothersome.
Then it's strange.
It's not strange.
What Takumi says is true.
Hey, Yuichi, don't you get it?
If you think about it a little, you'll be able to figure it out.
What is it?
I don't care if you don't.
I'm going because I'm busy right now.
W...wait a second, Bunta.
What's with him?
How many days have passed...?
Damn, I can't control it as I want.
I've got to hurry, or I'll be late for work.
That disgusting girl from the other day...
I'll have six of them.
Please put five in the bag. I'll eat one here.
Here, 660 yen. Enjoy it while it's hot.
Delicious.
Oh, no. I need 10 yen.
Ummm, is a 10000 yen bill okay?
10000 yen's too much.
I don't have enough change.
What should I do...?
Why don't you use it?
Thanks. I'll make sure to pay you back later.
It's alright. It's only 10 yen.
It's not. I won't feel right if I don't.
How can I find you to pay you back?
I'm working at the gas station ahead.
I just started working at an inn.
My aunt is working there...
...and I'm on an errand.
Sorry about the other day. You're a nice guy.
Oh, don't...
Actually, I was glad...
...because no one ever praises my brother's Levin.
So it's your brother's car.
I don't have any friends in Gunma...
...so I was bored and felt lonely.
Will you be my friend?
I'm Akiyama Kazumi.
I'm Takeuchi Itsuki.
Itsuki, okay. See ya.
This feeling...
C...could it be...?
"Spring?!"
Akina's Eight-Six has been resurrected?
Kenta saw it running.
It clearly said Fujiwara Tofu Shop.
I wonder if it's got a new engine.
We'd better have a look at it.
Right.
Here it comes.
That engine sound...
Brother, that was...
Yeah, he doesn't seem to be able to handle it well yet, but...
...it's turned into an even more menacing car.
You're late. Something happen?
Not really.
I climbed up and down Akina a few times after finishing the delivery.
I used a lot of gas. Sorry.
Oh, I don't mind.
Dad.
Hmmm?
Cornering with the car is very difficult.
I can't do what I could with the old car.
I'm so frustrated.
I've tried a lot of things, but nothing's working.
It's a good sign.
He's trying to overcome the difficulty with his technique instead of tuning its suspension.
Try many things for a while, Takumi.
It's important to keep trying and thinking.
This car will broaden your technique without your knowing it.
It's your guidepost to reaching an even higher level.
Kazumi.
I'm here to pay the money back.
Here.
You got it back, okay?
You really saved me yesterday.
Hey, that's...
Seven thirty, okay?
Who's that girl, Itsuki?
Well, she's my friend.
Friend, huh?
You said that Road Racers don't need girls.
What about the lonely driver, Itsuki?
Don't try to get away by smiling.
No way. Isn't that a Levin?
Is this really your car?
It's mine.
Me...?
I graduated this spring, so I'm a year older than you.
What did you do after you finished high school?
I got a job for a while.
But I didn't like it, and I have no patience.
My brother says the same thing.
Your brother? The owner of the Eight-Six?
Yeah.
It's funny. We're always together, even when we go for a drive.
They say my brother is the fastest on Saitama's downhill.
"Wataru's downhill..."
Oh, Wataru is my brother's name, and...
Wataru's insane on the downhill.
My brother had an excuse, which is me, to come to Gunma...
...and he could be racing somewhere by now.
The answer's no.
We don't race on our home course.
Why not? Because I drive an Eight-Six?
Nope. We can't get excited on our home course.
Everyone in Gunma knows that the Redsuns don't race on their home course.
Don't be offended.
And let me tell you one more thing.
We don't underestimate Eight-Six drivers.
There's an incredible Eight-Six in the area which specializes on the downhill.
He's never been defeated on the downhill.
Say what?
By any car.
By any car?
That's right.
Then, why don't I challenge this Eight-Six to see who's faster?
Say what?
Don't bother, Kenta.
Anyway, we don't race on our home course.
I don't know who you are, but you're ten years too early to talk equally to Keisuke.
I don't have any choice.
It's a little forceful, but...
...don't feel bad about it.
If you want to pick a fight so badly, then I'll play with you for a while.
That's what I want.
Beat the crap out of that stranger.
That sound... An Eight-Six turbo?
He can keep up with me at the exit of a corner?
What's with that car? It's got extraordinary power.
Is it really an Eight-Six?
I don't know how much power it's making...
...but if it makes that much, the suspension will give out.
He's supposed to be driving a car which could lose control any time...
...but he's managing it easily.
It's no use. I can't keep up.
Dammit.
I'm not like my brother, so I can't figure out the details...
...but he's very good.
I'll be in trouble if I keep playing around.
Don't underestimate me, or I'll overtake you.
Now you've done it.
It was fortunate that you weren't going too fast.
We need to put out the triangle sign.
A car could come down any time, and if it crashes...
