Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo

Now listen y'all, what you waitin' for is the Noizy Tribe

We're back!

I want to shake myself free, release the safety on my heart

Grab hold of your wavering emotions, yes, kiss me

Yeah, always pressure, like a train that's been jolted, creaking

I'm telling you, just watch me from that sluggish crowd

'Cause someday, check it, I'll be zoomin' fast as lightning

I'll dash out and get that checkered flag, believe it

You can see a dream you want to embrace, can't you?

I want to feel it in these arms, your soul

This moment I can feel, know the omen's arrival

I'm headin' out like this, I'm the Noizy Tribe

Come with me, come and cry with me

Got to be, got to be, now you got to be free (Yeah!)

Noizy Tribe, you're my Noizy Tribe

You can feel, you can feel, you can feel in my love (C'mon!)

Come with me, come and cry with me

Got to be, got to be, now you got to be free (Yeah!)

Noizy Tribe, you're my Noizy Tribe

You can break, you can break, you can break 'cause you're Noizy Tribe

Here come the Noizy Tribe, we're back!

Welcome!

Hey, Takumi!

Is Itsuki here?

Itsuki?

Uh, well, he took the day off today.

He did?

The truth is... And this is kind of hard to say, but...

He had sort of a rough time last night.

That really happened?!

Yeah. For Itsuki to take a day off, it must've been quite a shock.

I never thought something like that would...

It happens a lot in love triangles. Itsuki ended up losing out,

but he got pretty close there.

You have to be able to accept the other person unconditionally.

Itsuki still has a ways to go in that department.

Hey, that sounds like you when you were seeing Mako.

You're not exactly one to talk.

I told you not to mention that!

The pain of it is still too great...

Hey, you should give Itsuki a call later and cheer him up.

I don't mind doing it, but I'm not really good at that sort of thing.

The best thing is to just leave him be for a while.

Listen, when Itsuki comes back to work tomorrow,

this topic is completely off limits.

Understood?

--Yessir. --Understood.

High octane. Fill 'er up.

Yes, sir. Thanks very much!

Hello. Thank you for the other day.

Hey. This is perfect timing.

There's something I want to talk to you about.

There is?

"Act 15: 4WD Complex"

I can't control how things turned out, but I did a bad thing to Itsuki yesterday.

I'd like you to tell him for me.

He should hurry up and forget Kazumi's ugly ass and find himself a good woman.

This is how the power of a supercharger feels...

It's completely different from my Eight-Six.

This thing easily clocks over 200 on a chassis dynamo,

but on a high-speed stage like Akina, it's not so good on extended uphills.

It sure feels good on Chichibu's narrow mountain roads, though.

So now that you've beaten the Northwest Area coalition,

you're undefeated in Saitama, huh?

Still, there is just one bothersome group left standing...

They're a little full of themselves.

In terms of skill, they probably won't give you too hard a time.

Um...

I've wanted to ask you this...

Do you feel there's some kind of limit

with the Eight-Six's power or racing capabilities?

Well, yeah. Of course there is.

That's why I added the turbo, then the supercharger,

and am always fiddling with it.

That last race I did in the rain, just how old the car's basic design is

hit me really hard, like a body blow.

Even you think the same thing, huh?

If so, that's unexpected. I think you're in a class all your own.

Even in this day and age, you're winning race after race, undefeated, in an Eight-Six!

No... Actually, I haven't told anyone this yet, but...

Recently, somebody beat me.

I can't believe it.

Your Eight-Six, beaten on your own home turf...

--What kind of car? --An Impreza.

A four-wheel drive, huh?

It's been driving me crazy ever since.

It's like I've developed some kind of 4WD complex.

You say that,

but you've beaten Lancer Evos before, right?

Don't you think it's best not to give 4WD any kind of special consideration?

I'm trying to convince myself that, but...

In any case, the impact of it was far too strong.

That's why I was wondering what you thought about it.

Well...

I'm running up against the Eight-Six's limits too, and I don't like it.

To be honest, it's not just 4WDs.

It's FFs and FRs... I'm scared of all the new cars.

All of them?

But I've used that complex as a way to spring back even harder.

I'm refining my techniques,

and using my skills to cover the difference in car functionality.

Look, let me tell you something.

This is actually the perfect chance to get rid of this weird hang-up of yours.

I think your next opponent will be a 4WD.

Up till last year,

you could keep on winning, having nothing to do with theory or even being in the know,

but once you've reached a certain level, you're bound to run into its limitations.

For example, you don't really know what 4WD is,

but you race your hardest against it and end up winning.

In a way, it's a fool's victory. But I think that's also your greatest strength.

What's being demanded of you now is that you understand the characteristics of 4WD,

and that you negate your enemy's strengths and attack his weaknesses.

In other words, you win smart.

I think this next race will be a good chance for you.

Why not think in your own way,

and try drawing up an attack plan for tackling a 4WD?

An attack plan for a 4WD...

Still, it'd be boring if you started getting too clever.

It's letting that "fool's power" of yours run wild that makes you you.

"Fujiwara Tofu Shop"

A 4WD's strengths and weaknesses, huh?

Sure enough, like Wataru said,

last year I just raced my hardest, not knowing anything.

Now I know all too well what 4WD is about...

But it's not as simple as that.

This thing...

Does it even have anything that could be called a weakness?

Well, what did you wanna talk about?

This is just between us, but...

If we win this next race, it'll mean some money.

They're famous, right? Project D.

Think about it: What if our Lancer Evos win?

Being the shop that worked on those cars

has more advertising potential than you can imagine.

If you really promoted it on the Internet,

I bet there'd be a huge increase in customers.

Okay, I follow. So how much are we talking about?

If we win both races, 500,000 yen. One race, 250,000.

If it's a draw, let's say 50,000 yen.

Are you serious?

M'yeah.

But winning ain't gonna be easy.

I'd never planned on running a "clean" race.

If a little underhandedness can get results, so be it.

And that's your specialty, right? Underhandedness.

Not that I wanna hear that from you, but yeah.

"Corporate Reforestation"

--They're here! --Here we go!

Just like Wataru said... 4WDs. They've got Lancer Evos, huh?

Ryosuke, come here a minute.

These guys say they want to split the practice time and get some racing in, too.

We've never done it that way before, so... What should we do?

I don't understand why we have to split the time. Can't we practice together?

The thing is, we don't like that idea. Sorry, but...

We don't wanna race with guys when we don't even know how good they are.

Goin' out too far on a corner and... Hmph!

Smashin' headlong into an oncomin' car ain't my idea of a good time.

You're saying you don't trust our driving abilities?

--You stay out of this, Keisuke. --But...

Hey! All I'm askin' is you be fair

and give us half the time till mornin', right?

What's with the friggin' attitude?!

If you got a problem, then just forget the whole thing.

It ain't like there's some big reason we gotta go out of our way to race ya.

Let's do it.

Ryosuke...

Big brother!

Let's get going.

What a joke.

What the hell's he talking about, "fair"?

This is their home course, the one they always run.

The truth is, they just don't want us to practice, right?

We've never met anyone like them before, have we? They really piss me off.

Up till now, sure they've come up with their own strategies,

but everyone we've raced has fought a fair, clean fight.

Well, if they think cutting our practice time in half

will give them an advantage, they couldn't be more wrong.

Come tomorrow, we'll be giving them a lesson in the true power of Project D!

Depending on how you look at it,

this could be a good experience for Fujiwara as well, right?

He'll have to come up with a strategy for the course

and get his car ready in half the time.

Which would be fine, if that's all this is.

I have a very bad feeling about this.

A bad feeling?

There's something we haven't seen yet. Don't let your guard down, Fumihiro.

Burn both the road surface and course topography into memory.

For crying out loud. Finally! We get to go now, huh?

You guys keep standing around and it'll be morning. Let's get a move on!

Ready and standing by. Shall we go, Keisuke?

Yeah.

We don't have much time, so we'll have to make this count.

Understood. Here we go.

They better enjoy themselves while they can.

I think your best bet is to go for the FD rather than the Eight-Six.

You're not tryin' to make things easier just for yourself, are you?

No, I ain't. That guy in the FD really pissed me off.

He looked at me and scowled, the bastard.

I wanna make that uppity little brat cry!

Fine, okay. We split the money we get right down the middle.

Hello? It's me. You ready?

The target is...

...the FD.

Are we really gonna do this? If we get busted, there's gonna be trouble.

Just do it.

Understood. I don't know how good our aim will be, though.

If we're off, we could get both cars.

If it happens, it happens.

He says the target is the FD.

Having our practice time cut in half really stings.

I don't have the luxury of thinking about how to battle a 4WD...

Right now, I just have to concentrate on the course!

These cracks in the road make the car bounce.

I have to remember all the cracked areas!

The road sur face is a bit rough, but there's really nothing to this course at all.

Practice is a lot of fun.

Every time I pass him like that, I think to myself, "I ain't losin' to him!"

The FD feels good today. At this rate, it should be ready to race in no time.

I'll friggin' show you how it's done!

There's something flowing... Water?

There was nothing there earlier.

It's not water! Oh, no!

Hello, Fumihiro? It's Keisuke.

Yeah. What's up?

Are those guys still there?

By "those guys," you mean the ones we're racing?

They left a little while ago. Is everything okay?

Hell no, it's not okay!

This is an emergency. Stop the Eight-Six. Do not let him come back this way!

What's going on?

Somebody tossed a bunch of oil all over the goddamn road!

What?!

So, are you all right?

I... I'm fine, but...

...the FD is screwed up.

This is terrible. There's no way anyone could've avoided this. Not even Keisuke.

Who would do this?

It's obvious! Who the hell else was here?!

Whoever spilled this oil probably fled via that side road.

According to the map, the road is just wide enough to fit one car

and runs to the next city.

Then if we hurry and get over there to the other end first,

we can seize the idiot by the neck as he comes sauntering out!

I'm taking Van #1, brother.

I'll go with you, Keisuke!

Stop, Keisuke. It's a waste of time.

But brother! I can't just let this go!

How can I stand by when they've wrecked my precious FD?!

We've gotta grab 'em and knock the hell out of 'em!

I'm telling you to control yourself. Don't go running off half-cocked!

--How is it? --It's going to be a bit of work.

The suspension arm is damaged, and after an impact like that,

we're going to have to check the alignment, too.

There is 100% no way it can be ready by tomorrow night.

There's nothing wrong with the drive system, right?!

Do something to make it run!

Make some emergency repairs! It doesn't even have to run in a straight line!

I'll make it work somehow!

Don't talk foolishness, Keisuke. If a car's got trouble with its underbody,

pushing it to the limit amounts to suicide.

He's right. There's no telling how the car will behave.

Its limits have been pushed way down... Racing it in this state would be impossible.

Oh dear, oh dear. I thought things were a bit too quiet.

You got into a wreck here?

That was a pretty damn rotten trick you pulled.

You all did this, didn't you?! That oil!

I don't follow. What're ya talkin' about? Enough with the weird accusations already.

Well? You got any proof it was us that did it?

Don't screw with me! I don't need proof, I frickin' know!

Now quit flappin' your mouth and get outta that damn car!

Stop it, Keisuke.

Oooh, what a surprise!

This "Project D" team of yours has a real attitude problem, huh?

Yeah, I get it. Not only do ya make accusations without any proof,

you go around threatenin' the people you're supposed to race!

Eeew, that's so uncool. I wouldn't wanna race people like that!

I'm sorry. Please forgive us.

As you can see, our hillclimb car has gotten into a wreck.

It's been badly damaged, and it won't be fixed soon.

Yeah, well, that's a shame.

I'm sorry for the inconvenience, but could we possibly postpone our race for a week?

A week, huh?

Yes. We would definitely be ready within that amount of time.

I get it. I know just what you're sayin'.

But the answer is, "No."

We ain't made of free time, you know. I got me a date next weekend.

Bastard!

In motorsport, a car that don't make it to the startin' line is automatically the loser.

Whatever you all's circumstances, it's got nothin' to do with us.

Right? Or am I wrong?

We start at 8:00 tonight, as agreed.

Use the Eight-Six or somethin' instead, whatever.

Don't forget, if yer even one minute late, you all lose.

Shit!

That guy's gettin' on my last goddamn nerve!

We have no time for you to take your frustrations out on the guardrail.

Fujiwara and Matsumoto, you work on setting up the Eight-Six.

--Okay. --Understood.

However, run the course in halves until we've finished cleaning up the oil.

All other personnel are on oil detail. We don't have time. Hurry!

Hold on!

What am I supposed to do?

Brother, aren't we going to try fixing the FD?

If we did, it would be a wasted effort.

I have explored all options, and my conclusion is that it is not possible.

There isn't enough time. Your role in this race is no more.

You shall stay on the sidelines.

Brother, please let me race!

At this rate, we're just playing right into their hands!

Do you still not understand, Keisuke? The blame for the FD's crash lies with you.

Huh?

Yes. If it were me, I would not have crashed my car over a simple trick like that.

This was caused by ego and lack of attention. Calm yourself and think this over!

Let's get to work.

I... I can't accept this. Ryosuke is being too harsh.

There's no way so much oil could have been avoided.

No matter how you look at it, it's just not possible!

No.

My brother could do it. He could've cleared that oil spill like it was nothing.

It's just like he said, Kenta. And the truth is, I know it.

I'm angry at myself for falling right into a cheap trick like that.

That's exactly why, no matter what, I have to race!

What should I do? Tell me, Kenta!

Keisuke!

Keisuke wants to race, but can't. If I think about how he feels too much,

I start feeling mixed up myself. But...!

Right now, all I can do is give my total concentration to the job I've been given.

And I will definitely win. I'll beat them!

A rose that's bloomed on the battlefield, for the reason they don't know

A caterpillar that can only move forward tramples it under foot again today

Yo, hates and pain, increasing only hatred

Hates and pain, with those social conditions transmitted live

Hold me with stronger hands

Your voice in a restless night (For the reason they don't know)

The world will someday be shedding blood (All around the world)

Let me forget that kind of news, I don't want to understand

Nobody reason, nobody sure where is the end

Ah, sing gently just a little more, even if it's a lie

Check it, conflicting information is already reported by the mass media

The outnumbered convey the deep fears of the whole situation

Reason is flammable, an age lacking the power of restraint, yeah

Devoting yourself body and spirit, you keep receiving that baptism

Nobody reason, nobody sure where is the end

If rowing a boat that's untrustworthy and on the verge of breaking...

Nobody reason, no one confess that it was wrong

Ah, sing gently just a little more, even if it's a lie
