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!

This is just between us...

But all you guys are sorta in trouble.

That guy that lost the race just now has sort of flipped out.

He's called up a bunch of his friends, really bad characters.

So, in other words...

You're telling me to lose on purpose?

Nah, I didn't say that. All I said was not to race too hard.

I'm sayin' this to be kind.

Think about it.

They're close now. They're just up ahead.

The approach to this point is one of this course's difficult areas, huh?

You've gotta maintain speed,

coming downhill at a slow turn and then making a sudden left.

There's no way to make any kind of direct braking path.

How the "best downhiller in Gunma" tackles it will be something to watch for.

What's more, he's in an Eight-Six with no ABS.

This is bad! The Eight-Six's braking point is too late!

I've never seen anyone go chargin' in full-throttle that far before!

Awesome! He caught right up to him!

Shit!

"Act 17: The Saitama Area's Final Battle"

Okay. Understood.

It seems Fujiwara's braking technique is surprising the onlookers.

Well, of course.

He's practiced over and over, learning to choose the last possible braking point.

It's a piece of cake for him now.

The Eight-Six has been tuned not for flat terrain but for the downhill,

wherein braking is executed with the front section pointing slightly downward.

Utilizing the Eight-Six's light weight, and dependent upon the skills of the driver,

its braking performance can surpass even that of ABS.

In extended out-of-corner acceleration,

the Evo-Six will probably pull ahead of the Eight-Six...

...but through cornering work utilizing its light weight,

the Eight-Six should be able to close that gap.

Quit keepin' up with me! You're startin' to piss me off.

If this is how you wanna play it, whatever happens is on your head!

Whatever. I should be able to lose him once I enter the final, high-speed section.

I'm in a completely different speed range... from some stupid Eight-Six!

Keisuke.

Actually, before the race started, Fujiwara said something that's been bothering me...

He really said that?

Yes. It's probably just a scare tactic, but it got me a little concerned,

so I thought I'd tell you, Keisuke.

I wouldn't put it past those guys to do that.

Give me a break! Just how rotten are these guys?!

We should hurry and call our guys, too!

All it would take would be a word from you, Keisuke!

No, Kenta.

Huh?

It could be just a bluff. Don't get all worked up over it.

But Keisuke! If it's for real, there'll be nothing we can do about it! They...

They already outnumber us.

I know.

I know that, which is why I'm telling you not to get worked up about it.

I can keep up... A little poorly, but I don't feel like I'll lose.

So the real problem is the driver.

That one time, the person who pulled out in front of me...

...was my father.

This guy's braking doesn't hold a candle to Pops'.

Oh! Now I get it. That's the weak point!

Still, being told something like that has probably gotten Fujiwara a little rattled.

In terms of diversionary tactics, I think it's quite effective for a race like this.

I think so, too.

I told him to forget everything that doesn't matter and concentrate on the race, but...

It's not as easy as that, is it?

It's a whole different kind of pinch for Fujiwara this time.

No.

Fujiwara is not that fragile.

Ryosuke...

He's right. Anyone who's raced Fujiwara even once would understand.

He normally seems harmless, but once he starts racing...

...his concentration shoots to pro-racing levels.

His weak point is...

...braking!

Shit! For some weak-ass Eight-Six to be able to run this fast...!

I don't know what kind of trick he's pulled, but this is pissing me off!

It'll be trouble if he comes chargin' in half-assed.

I've gotta safely make it outta this low-speed section!

His line has changed...

He's checking my cornering speed and keeping his guard up!

Theoretically speaking...

If the Evo-Six were to begin maneuvering defensively,

it would enter corners tighter.

Should its driver fail to consider offensive tactics coming from the outside...

...that is where Fujiwara would strike.

There's wide open space on the outside!

All right!

They're here? Okay, understood. It's still the middle of the race,

so have them wait down there till it's over. Yeah.

Those are some pretty scary guys, so make sure you don't step out of line.

It looks like they're here.

You don't say...

The driver of that Evo-Six is by no means slow.

His defining characteristic is, put simply,

that his racing makes clever use of high-tech electronic devices.

As for braking, he makes masterful use of the benefits afforded by ABS.

With no special skill,

he can employ high-level braking that makes full use of the tires' grip.

However, his senses may or may not be such

that he can adapt to changes in his situation.

If he can, countering the braking point

at which he approaches each corner will be difficult.

Whether Fujiwara can do that will determine the outcome of this race.

Bad move!

This bastard just won't quit!

Just a little farther.

After we pass just one more...

...it's the high-speed area where I can open it up full-throttle!

What the...?! My front tires have lost their grip!

Yes!

Dammit! It's oil! I went too far into the in-line!

I passed right over some leftover oil!

We're not at the goal yet! I...

I just have to get back in front of him!

With this thing's racing capabilities,

I can turn the tables in the power section!

Just you watch!

I've got a two-liter turbo engine, the fastest on the street racing scene!

There's no way it'll lose to some wimpy 1.6-liter engine!

The last part of the course is a mid-speed section with wide roads.

It is here that the speed range is raised a notch.

Then the Evo-Six is sure to--

You never learn, Kenta.

Huh? But...

The more their speed increases, the harder it becomes to accurately gauge braking...

...and the risk factor increases exponentially.

Isn't that right, big brother?

On the downhill, the importance of technique over power increases in high-speed areas.

Dammit! It's no good!

That asshole's takin' the corner without braking!

I... I don't believe it. That racing's incredible...

Okay. Understood.

Apparently, five or six suspicious-looking cars are headed this way, coming up toward us.

What do we do, Ryosuke?

The situation would seem to preclude our scheduled timed race...

Let's get things ready so we can pull out at a moment's notice.

The safety of all our team members is top priority.

Fumihiro, if worse comes to worst, Keisuke and I will remain behind to buy time.

You look for an opportunity to take the others and flee.

But I... Ryosuke...

I thought there was a risk of this occurring during one of our expeditionary races.

We have prepared for the worst.

It's just like he said, Fumihiro.

I'm used to this sort of thing. Don't worry.

I'll find a way to get through this.

All right. In a time like this, you're our only hope, Keisuke.

Keisuke! I'll stay with you!

You go along with the others.

But...

Don't let Ryosuke get hurt. I'm counting on you.

Yeah. Just leave it to me.

Ryosuke, I'll...

Don't you worry, Fujiwara.

There they are.

Everyone! Get into Vans #1 and #2!

We're gonna watch us a fun little show.

We'll get to see that uppity bastard in the FD cryin' like a girl.

Yeah.

With a chance like this, we should join in too, and blow off a little steam.

After all, we didn't make a single yen off of this.

Shit! All the effort we put into this, and it amounted to nothing.

Let's do it!

After all, our guy's an ex-motorcycle gang leader, a real son of a bitch!

Those other guys are gonna get pounded!

This guy sure looks like a badass...

Supposedly, he's the former leader of some famous huge gang in northern Kanto!

Don't move from there, brother.

It's you, huh?

It was so dark I couldn't tell it was you at all, Keisuke.

It's been too long, sir.

These guys are friends of yours?

You're not keeping very good company, are you?

Uh, well, I wouldn't go so far as to call them "friends."

They just asked me for a favor...

Bastards! They've done something rude to you, haven't they?

I guess. But it's over with, so no need to worry about it now.

More to the point, your cars are in the way. Move them.

I'm very sorry, I'll do it right now.

Did you hear him or what?!

Yessir!

What gives, Keisuke? You know him?

Uh, well, I guess he's an old acquaintance from when I was young and careless...

My little brother back when I was still a troublemaker.

"Little brother"?

Well, in any case, that was a big help, Keisuke.

For a while there, I wondered what would happen to us...

But now we can go home without a scratch on us or our cars.

You certainly are incredible, Keisuke.

You've really made me look bad.

Do you not even know who Keisuke Takahashi is, bitch?!

On top of that, Project D is so damn cool,

everybody in the Gunma area knows about 'em.

Shitbird, did you forget that I'm from Gunma?!

"Gunma"

I-I-I didn't know! Please forgive me!

We didn't know anythin' at all!

We're not even involved so, uh, please forgive us.

You're friggin' dreamin', cupcake!

In a bit, I'm gonna teach all you guys a lesson.

Just wait, dammit!!

As Keisuke's FD is incapable of functioning normally,

I'd like to cancel the timed race.

Is that all right?

Yes, it's just fine!

All right, we're moving out! Everyone, let's go!

Yes! We've completely dominated the Saitama area!

Somehow, this latest race gave me a hint.

The way to beat it... is this!

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
