I can go as far as I want.
Faster and farther than anyone.
Where in the world is the limit? I can't see it yet.
Just look forward and forge ahead.
Fight recklessly.
Until you conquer and win.
If you want to snatch it away no matter what...
...don't give up till the end. (Get Through the Night.)
When we look straight at the faraway place...
...our thoughts come together as one.
IGPX!
Go For It!
Stand firm and stay arrogantly stubborn.
Don't look back if it's the course you set.
Let's rise to the top of the very best.
If you stop, it's all over right there.
Show Fight!
Withdraw?
But we just made it into IG-1.
But it's already decided.
Could you turn down the air-conditioning?
Old buildings are like this...
Now, the race is about to start.
They say offense is the best defense.
Team Black Egg excels at racing more on defense than offense.
On top of that, they've reportedly added a new defense system.
On the other hand, for Team Satomi...
...the high-profile rookies face their first IG-1 races.
How will they challenge the veterans, Team Black Egg?
Please let me do it.
You're being difficult.
We've fully taken your position into account to reach our decision.
That team is the will of my late grandfather who founded it.
Please give me a chance. I beg you.
Delay it just one day...
Now going from the first lap to the second lap!
Thanks for waiting. The battle we've waited for begins!
Rookie's full of spirit. I like.
Take care of the naughty boy, Ricardo.
We'll face the ladies.
Say whatever you like.
How are they?
Good morning.
You're here kind of early.
Team Black Egg leads all Satomi machines with discreet corner-work.
Just what you'd expect of them!
Come on, rookie.
There!
"There" what?
No progress.
Takeshi attacks boldly. Black Egg's Ricardo...
...defends with complex footwork!
Is that all right?
Well, we can't help but take the initiative for now.
Don't push them too hard, please.
Bastard!
What's wrong, rookie?
It's literally like a wild boar charging blindly.
Hello, this is Satomi.
Yes.
Yes, I'm aware of that...
But...
How'll Satomi's Takeshi break Ricardo's complex defense...
...and will he be able to?
Good! Keep that position behind him!
He fell for it!
Naive.
What?
That's...
...the new system.
I'll try to collect data!
Why?
I can't scan it?
Damn it!
Takeshi, Liz, send the impact data! Please!
That idiot.
Takeshi, don't!
You bastard, attack a little!
Well, if you insist.
Idiot.
No progress at all.
Team Satomi's Takeshi is damaged! This means a pit stop!
Directions?
Oh, sure.
Mark, please.
What's wrong, Takeshi?
I'm sorry, Mark.
Don't worry about it.
Don't you have something to say, young lady?
Oh...
No, I don't.
Then I'll say something.
This you is the worst.
Leave!
Andrei...
Now, the pit work is over, and the battle begins again!
How will Team Satomi deal with Black Egg's new system?
I have to do something...
But...
Yes.
Yes, that's right.
Yes, but...
I got it.
Slits on his body spray a mist that absorbs impacts.
Damn!
That's not good.
Luca, what shall we do?
Hang in there, Takeshi.
You retreated quietly?
Yes.
I was definitely at fault.
No wonder he got mad.
Jesse told me about it.
But it's unlike you.
You're awfully honest today.
Mark...
If Team Satomi ceased to exist, what would you do?
Let's see...
Look for another team.
I'd probably have to start over in IG-3...
...but I like this job.
I can't quit.
But on the other hand, I like this team.
I want to help Takeshi and the others have good matches.
We're at risk?
It looks like our parent company will stop investing.
We have some outside sponsors...
...but that's not enough.
Also...
The name Satomi?
My grandfather's will lives on in the group only in this team.
I don't want to lose it.
Excuse me.
Yes, that's right.
Yes.
No, as I said...
Where did everyone go?
I'm here.
I can see that.
It's me.
I want you to look into something.
That's right. Then I'm counting on you.
What's this?
A special recipe.
A bit of brandy.
It's nice once in a while, right?
Thank you.
Hello.
Yes, it's me.
Team Black Egg has successfully dodged Team Satomi's attacks.
Can they keep it up?
Nothing can be done?
Jeez, good-for-nothing bunch.
All right.
Takeshi, I'll tell you the ultimate secret to win the race.
Listen carefully. Ready?
Make the egg stand.
What does that mean?
Nonsense again...
Columbus' egg?
I don't think so.
Hey, don't ignore me!
That's right... The egg...
What?
Just make the egg stand.
With salt?
No.
The egg would stand without any help.
Not just an egg.
For instance, you can make a stone of any shape stand.
Center of gravity?
That's right.
Everything has one, even machines.
You should be able to see it.
Sure, if that's the case...
You could've made it easier to understand.
For their sakes, it's best not to spoil them.
Team Black Egg's kept Team Satomi's attacks at bay so far.
Is this the end of the line for Team Satomi?
The fateful S-curve will decide!
Amy, the timing.
Me too!
Roger.
Over there!
Now!
Takeshi leaves Ricardo's slipstream! The lines cross in the corner!
They enter the next corner neck and neck!
Takeshi secures the fastest inner line!
Ricardo has no choice but to fall behind!
Oh, Takeshi reverses!
He's deciding the winner in a battle!
Naive!
Right there!
What?
Ricardo's defense was broken, and he's falling behind big time!
Takeshi zooms through the homestretch!
He transforms to his fastest mode!
Ricardo, run in my slipstream!
What's wrong, Ricardo?
No good! I can't balance the drag because of the damage!
It's not power.
If you can find the "spot", you can break this cup easily.
It didn't break...
Well, that could happen, too.
Takeshi receives the checkered flag!
Team Satomi wins its first victory in the second race!
We did it!
We won...
We won!
All right!
I wasn't sure what would happen this time.
You have an eye for winners, Princess. I'm impressed.
Now, shall we go, Princess?
Yes.
You did it, Takeshi.
You were great!
We did it!
Yeah!
Thanks for cheering!
What's that attitude?
I'm glad!
Did you watch carefully?
Yeah!
Yeah! Yeah!
Yeah!
Thank you!
I'm blushing.
Then me too!
Yeah!
First victory!
They beat us.
Takeshi, congratulations on your first victory.
It's abrupt, but what was the key?
Yes...
But...
No, well...
Yes.
I see.
Cheers!
Takeshi, you can do a good job if you try!
We're counting on you next time, too!
Ms. Satomi!
Oh, cheers!
You fought a great race today.
Let me first say thank you.
Same here!
To tell the truth, I got a message from headquarters this morning.
It was a withdrawal notice for the IGPX.
It was due to the downturn in business.
I delayed it for one day somehow...
...so that I could explore options.
But the outlook was bleak.
When Takeshi got the checkered flag...
...it was at least the comfort of a great last hurrah.
I told myself that.
I was disappointed with myself...
But...
After the race, I got a "stock tie-up" offer from a corporation.
I just got headquarters' approval.
Team Satomi will continue to exist!
All right!
Ms. Satomi, that's great!
Thank you.
The coffee was delicious.
Make me another.
By the way, which corporation is it?
I'm sorry.
I can't say yet.
But the terms are really good.
Unbelievably good!
Well, let's toast.
To our victory.
Cheers!
The orange-colored sunset...
...dyes the colors of the scenery.
Soon night will fall.
It's a little chilly, isn't it?
Frustrations of today.
Sadness and quietly concealed tears.
All will change into tomorrow's radiance.
Don't worry.
I'll hug you tightly, tightly.
It'll be fine.
Keep believing in your feelings.
I'll smile more and more for you.
Though this is all I can do.
I want to be by your side even so.
I whisper in my heart, "I love you."
