5
00:01:54,133 --> 00:01:55,867
Awesome!
6
00:01:55,867 --> 00:01:58,667
Keisuke rushed past the finish line first!
7
00:01:58,667 --> 00:02:00,533
That's amazing.
8
00:02:05,333 --> 00:02:07,933
He managed to get ahead by seven seconds.
9
00:02:08,733 --> 00:02:11,467
The downhill race today
will be terrifying.
10
00:02:13,233 --> 00:02:16,267
Oh, don't get me wrong.
11
00:02:17,267 --> 00:02:20,567
I don't mean the opponent
will be "terrifying",
12
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:22,900
but myself.
13
00:02:23,833 --> 00:02:28,967
Once the race starts, I won't be able
to hold back my competitive spirit.
14
00:02:29,467 --> 00:02:31,667
I might gradually be unable
to maintain a safe distance.
15
00:02:31,667 --> 00:02:34,133
I'll keep pushing to the limit.
16
00:02:34,967 --> 00:02:37,100
It would be best if it goes smoothly.
17
00:02:37,100 --> 00:02:38,767
But if it doesn't, I might lose my life.
18
00:02:39,133 --> 00:02:42,233
What frightens me is the part
of me that doesn't fear death.
19
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:45,067
Omiya...
20
00:02:45,433 --> 00:02:48,300
Don't worry, I'll be fine.
21
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:53,233
Tonight, I'll showcase the best
performance of my racing career.
22
00:02:56,867 --> 00:02:59,900
The opponent chose
to lead in the first round.
23
00:03:00,267 --> 00:03:01,300
Really?
24
00:03:02,267 --> 00:03:05,867
He must have made the decision
after watching Keisuke's performance.
25
00:03:08,067 --> 00:03:11,567
The opponent may use
the same tactics to fight back.
26
00:03:11,567 --> 00:03:15,467
This means he's very
confident in his speed.
27
00:03:17,233 --> 00:03:18,367
On the other hand,
28
00:03:19,100 --> 00:03:21,433
this is also our opportunity.
29
00:03:25,567 --> 00:03:30,100
Look, the section with numerous bends
in the second half will be the key.
30
00:03:30,733 --> 00:03:34,000
You must handle the opponent's
speed changes smartly.
31
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:37,567
Once you feel it's time,
finish it in the first round.
32
00:03:37,967 --> 00:03:39,467
No need to be polite with him.
33
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:57,867
I'm Satoshi Omiya.
34
00:03:59,267 --> 00:04:01,000
I'm Takumi Fujiwara.
35
00:04:10,267 --> 00:04:12,667
Fujiwara, you better not lose.
36
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:15,933
Alright, countdown starts now.

00:04:19,700 --> 00:04:20,933
TANZAWA OYAMA NATIONAL PARK, YABITSU ROAD
40
00:04:24,333 --> 00:04:26,567
What do you think about the downhill race?
41
00:04:27,533 --> 00:04:30,833
You successfully predicted
the uphill race, Mr. Kubo.
42
00:04:31,267 --> 00:04:33,333
No, I'm not sure about this one.
43
00:04:33,333 --> 00:04:35,200
Even I can't figure it out.
44
00:04:36,267 --> 00:04:40,667
The driving skills of Omiya
are indeed top-notch.
45
00:04:43,333 --> 00:04:44,433
Three.
46
00:04:44,433 --> 00:04:45,500
Two.
47
00:04:45,500 --> 00:04:46,500
One.
48
00:04:46,500 --> 00:04:47,833
GO.
49
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,933
But the strength of that 86 is unknown.
50
00:04:55,767 --> 00:04:59,033
It's clear that they've put
a lot of effort into that car.
51
00:05:04,333 --> 00:05:07,833
And the young driver is not simple either.
52
00:05:07,833 --> 00:05:11,833
I've been in this industry for so long
and I have never met someone like him.
53
00:05:11,833 --> 00:05:14,433
He has a certain unique worldview.
54
00:05:15,433 --> 00:05:16,333
Is he fast?
55
00:05:16,933 --> 00:05:18,133
Of course.
56
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:22,833
That 86 driver has "that guy" around him.
57
00:05:23,333 --> 00:05:24,300
What do you mean?
58
00:05:25,033 --> 00:05:26,667
I mean Ryosuke Takahashi.
59
00:05:27,500 --> 00:05:30,033
I've been curious since before.
60
00:05:30,033 --> 00:05:32,267
Do you have any grudges with him?
61
00:05:32,833 --> 00:05:34,067
With that...
62
00:05:36,100 --> 00:05:37,633
Ryosuke Takahashi...
63
00:05:44,467 --> 00:05:45,400
Maybe.
64
00:05:46,033 --> 00:05:47,067
No.
65
00:05:48,567 --> 00:05:52,100
There is someone else who
has grudges with him, I should say.
66
00:05:53,267 --> 00:05:55,867
The NB8C's MX-5,
67
00:05:55,867 --> 00:05:57,700
and the AE86's TRUENO.
68
00:05:58,667 --> 00:06:03,733
Both adopt lightweight bodies and
small-displacement natural aspiration engines.
69
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:08,367
They conquer the winding road with
shock absorbers, providing a light ride.
70
00:06:10,133 --> 00:06:11,967
The basic research and development
concepts of these two cars are the same.
71
00:06:11,967 --> 00:06:14,033
Despite the fact that they were
produced in different years,
72
00:06:14,033 --> 00:06:17,600
the performance of the two
cars is quite similar.
73
00:06:18,667 --> 00:06:19,667
Therefore,
74
00:06:20,300 --> 00:06:24,300
the result of this race depends on
the sensibilities of these two drivers.
75
00:06:31,367 --> 00:06:34,533
The sensibility of the NB
driver Satoshi Omiya
76
00:06:42,333 --> 00:06:45,633
and the 86 driver Takumi Fujiwara.
77
00:06:46,667 --> 00:06:52,633
The winner will be the one whose
sensibility aligns more with the car.
78
00:06:53,233 --> 00:06:56,767
You talk about their cars
as if they were alive.
79
00:06:57,333 --> 00:06:58,933
Perhaps they are.
80
00:06:59,500 --> 00:07:02,800
Whoever misses the sound
the car makes in just a blink will lose.
81
00:07:13,900 --> 00:07:18,000
The legendary racing team that has won
time and again in the North Kanto region,
82
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:19,533
"Project D".
83
00:07:19,533 --> 00:07:20,967
What kind of racing method do they use?
84
00:07:21,567 --> 00:07:25,433
It makes me want to
follow and observe closely.
85
00:07:25,433 --> 00:07:27,533
That's what Kobayakawa is thinking.
86
00:07:28,267 --> 00:07:30,167
I have the same idea.
87
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:33,833
But there's a trap here.
88
00:07:33,833 --> 00:07:38,700
Choosing to observe the opponent means
not being able to maintain your own pace.
89
00:07:41,567 --> 00:07:45,500
I think observing that 86
is very dangerous.
90
00:07:46,300 --> 00:07:47,933
That's what my intuition tells me.
91
00:07:51,700 --> 00:07:53,967
So, I chose to lead.
92
00:07:53,967 --> 00:07:57,467
I want to keep my pace when
I can see nothing but the road.
93
00:07:59,633 --> 00:08:01,133
Everything for victory.
94
00:08:12,133 --> 00:08:14,367
I wonder how the downhill race will go.
95
00:08:14,767 --> 00:08:17,533
It probably won't be an easy win.
96
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:21,333
Racers here are generally strong.
97
00:08:23,567 --> 00:08:27,633
Looking at the results, it wasn't
an easy win for me either.
98
00:08:28,333 --> 00:08:32,267
Fujiwara's opponent today
is especially challenging.
99
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:36,733
Among street racers, he is almost perfect.
100
00:08:37,300 --> 00:08:39,433
Can you even see that?
101
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:41,900
I can.
102
00:08:43,167 --> 00:08:44,400
I think Fujiwara...
103
00:08:46,233 --> 00:08:48,500
he should have noticed too.
104
00:08:53,133 --> 00:08:54,667
There is no loophole.
105
00:08:54,667 --> 00:08:57,433
It feels like he filled up all the space.
106
00:09:07,233 --> 00:09:09,867
The NB leading in front is
waiting for an opportunity.
107
00:09:09,867 --> 00:09:11,800
He will start sprinting somewhere.
108
00:09:12,433 --> 00:09:17,367
For local racers, it is advantageous
to lead and control the pace.
109
00:09:17,367 --> 00:09:20,000
Which means, the key to victory
110
00:09:21,067 --> 00:09:25,000
is likely to be in the latter part with
many bends and bad road conditions.
111
00:09:25,733 --> 00:09:30,933
For the 86 with an old shock absorber
design, it's quite unfavorable there.
112
00:09:31,767 --> 00:09:35,267
Well... I guess so.
113
00:09:36,267 --> 00:09:38,967
But this is not the first time
we face unfavorable conditions.
114
00:09:39,433 --> 00:09:44,200
Since the "RedSuns", we would intentionally
go into the enemy camp to challenge them.
115
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:45,333
Exactly.
116
00:09:45,733 --> 00:09:48,533
The away race strategy
that my brother thought of
117
00:09:49,033 --> 00:09:50,933
is enough to handle all
kinds of battlefield conditions.
118
00:09:54,467 --> 00:09:57,233
If the opponent is
a specialist in the route,
119
00:09:58,667 --> 00:10:02,000
then we are a professional team
that specializes in conquering enemies.
120
00:10:03,033 --> 00:10:06,600
Who will have more speed in the end.
121
00:10:07,467 --> 00:10:10,033
That's all that really matters.
122
00:10:13,667 --> 00:10:16,600
As long as we have
the genius Ryosuke Takahashi,
123
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:18,933
there's nothing
"Project D" can't accomplish.
124
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:22,067
That's what I think.
125
00:10:29,667 --> 00:10:31,900
They're very close now, almost here.
126
00:10:31,900 --> 00:10:34,367
They're aiming for
the hairpin turn in the middle.
127
00:10:36,867 --> 00:10:39,367
-Here they come!
-Great!
128
00:10:49,367 --> 00:10:52,167
Go, Omiya, give it your all!
129
00:10:52,167 --> 00:10:54,333
The 86 is nothing to worry about.
130
00:11:00,667 --> 00:11:04,167
They passed the middle section
closely following each other.
131
00:11:04,167 --> 00:11:06,333
The race so far has been identical.
132
00:11:09,667 --> 00:11:13,133
I know the opponent will definitely
start sprinting at some point.
133
00:11:18,733 --> 00:11:22,233
I kept guessing, but he never struck.
134
00:11:22,233 --> 00:11:23,833
This made me extremely
anxious during the race.
135
00:11:25,967 --> 00:11:29,667
For some reason, I always felt pressured.
136
00:11:34,533 --> 00:11:38,833
That 86 driver should feel the same way.
137
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:41,067
Now it's Omiya who's setting the pace.
138
00:11:41,067 --> 00:11:43,867
This relentless situation will continue.
139
00:12:03,133 --> 00:12:05,533
It's just halfway through the race,
140
00:12:09,333 --> 00:12:11,733
I feel his drive has reached its peak.
141
00:12:12,467 --> 00:12:15,167
But I can go even higher.
142
00:12:15,867 --> 00:12:20,533
My competitive spirit
will explode somewhere.
143
00:12:30,467 --> 00:12:31,767
(Initial D Fifth Stage)
144
00:12:33,467 --> 00:12:34,767
(Initial D Fifth Stage)
145
00:12:57,567 --> 00:13:01,100
My legs feel thicker than before.
146
00:13:01,100 --> 00:13:03,567
Like here... and here...
147
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,133
Did I do too much weight training?
148
00:13:08,033 --> 00:13:10,633
It's great to hit a longer
distance with the driver,
149
00:13:10,633 --> 00:13:13,633
but I don't want to buy bigger
underwear because of that.
150
00:13:17,833 --> 00:13:19,867
It's summer vacation.
151
00:13:20,300 --> 00:13:22,733
I also want to go to the beach sometimes.
152
00:13:26,967 --> 00:13:28,500
Maybe with Takumi.
153
00:13:32,467 --> 00:13:34,833
But I guess that's not possible,
since he's so busy.
154
00:13:38,833 --> 00:13:43,067
Takumi should be in Kanagawa
competing against someone right now.
155
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:46,633
I really want to see a race in person.
156
00:13:47,633 --> 00:13:51,133
But I would probably get scared.
157
00:13:53,567 --> 00:13:55,700
Takumi, do your best.
158
00:13:56,233 --> 00:13:57,533
You have to win.
159
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:08,133
Good, I'm very focused right now.
160
00:14:20,533 --> 00:14:23,300
From the perspective of
conquering mountain roads,
161
00:14:23,933 --> 00:14:28,300
I think the most important thing
in downhill racing is "braking".
162
00:14:28,833 --> 00:14:33,133
In downhill races where the braking distance
is much increased from flat ground,
163
00:14:33,133 --> 00:14:35,567
a braking mistake can be fatal.
164
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:41,233
Ordinary roads do not have
distance signs like race tracks.
165
00:14:41,233 --> 00:14:44,133
To find the correct braking point,
166
00:14:48,700 --> 00:14:51,367
you can only rely on
the sharp senses of the driver,
167
00:14:52,733 --> 00:14:54,633
instead of the road signs.
168
00:15:05,767 --> 00:15:11,233
The potential of the human brain
is really astonishing.
169
00:15:11,667 --> 00:15:15,433
Fujiwara's sense of braking
is more acute than others.
170
00:15:17,467 --> 00:15:20,333
Even when racing against local
drivers who are familiar with the route,
171
00:15:20,333 --> 00:15:24,333
he can continue to
succeed due to this gift.
172
00:15:25,133 --> 00:15:28,267
This is a skill that cannot be
achieved solely through practice.
173
00:15:28,267 --> 00:15:30,400
It's a talent.
174
00:15:31,067 --> 00:15:35,500
TANZAWA NATIONAL DORMITORY, YABITSU ROAD SHOP
By observing your rival's braking timing,
175
00:15:35,500 --> 00:15:37,933
TANZAWA NATIONAL DORMITORY, YABITSU ROAD SHOP
you can tell the opponent's strength.
176
00:15:38,633 --> 00:15:41,567
Indeed, this is not a difficult task.
177
00:15:42,333 --> 00:15:44,833
Especially if your skill levels are close.
178
00:15:45,533 --> 00:15:49,233
On the contrary, not allowing opponents to
see your braking timing is also a strategy.
179
00:15:49,633 --> 00:15:51,867
The moment you let the opponent
see your real braking timing
180
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:57,633
is the time to decide the race.
181
00:16:19,267 --> 00:16:20,567
He's one step behind.
182
00:16:20,967 --> 00:16:23,533
Only a tiny bit, but he indeed got slow.
183
00:16:28,233 --> 00:16:31,200
Behind that long straight road just now,
he hit the emergency brake.
184
00:16:32,867 --> 00:16:36,800
It was only once, but he
was braking too slowly.
185
00:16:39,567 --> 00:16:41,600
That's a very fast entry.
186
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:44,200
It's pulling away from the 86.
187
00:16:50,100 --> 00:16:55,067
I am going into 100 percent serious mode
to push it to the limit.
188
00:16:59,667 --> 00:17:00,900
They are coming.
189
00:17:01,633 --> 00:17:02,800
Nearly here.
190
00:17:23,067 --> 00:17:25,967
Although that seemed a little dangerous,
191
00:17:26,433 --> 00:17:31,233
cars from that era would have this issue
if the suspension is set too stiff.
192
00:17:31,833 --> 00:17:34,200
That car is indeed an 86.
193
00:17:34,733 --> 00:17:38,067
In the world of an average speed
of less than 100 kilometers per hour,
194
00:17:38,067 --> 00:17:41,267
that car was built to be the strongest.
195
00:17:41,833 --> 00:17:45,300
Did they choose the 86 for a reason?
196
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:48,667
This does seem like
a thing Ryosuke would do.
197
00:17:48,667 --> 00:17:52,067
Absolutely no aerodynamic attachments.
198
00:17:52,067 --> 00:17:54,500
It seems that this was
his plan from the start.
199
00:17:54,500 --> 00:17:55,667
However...
200
00:17:56,567 --> 00:18:00,133
At that level,
even in a low-speed section,
201
00:18:00,133 --> 00:18:03,867
there's still a possibility
to reach top speed in a blink.
202
00:18:05,033 --> 00:18:09,600
Even the GT spoiler, which only
shows effectiveness on the circuit,
203
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:12,833
is not just decoration anymore
once you've reached that level.
204
00:18:13,700 --> 00:18:17,267
The clincher between the two
might lie in aerodynamics.
205
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:27,433
The feature of Mazda's RWD car
206
00:18:27,433 --> 00:18:31,767
is basically its longitudinal axis, which is
designed underneath the front of the car.
207
00:18:32,533 --> 00:18:34,567
Although the FD is the same,
208
00:18:34,567 --> 00:18:38,300
the MX-5 can increase the steering angle
through the front wheel load.
209
00:18:38,300 --> 00:18:40,733
So it feels more agile in handling.
210
00:18:41,167 --> 00:18:44,767
But once you want to sprint, due to
the insufficient load on the rear wheels,
211
00:18:44,767 --> 00:18:46,300
oversteering becomes a problem.
212
00:18:46,933 --> 00:18:51,133
So when modifying the MX-5,
this would be a major challenge.
213
00:18:56,300 --> 00:18:58,267
Although there are various solutions,
214
00:18:59,333 --> 00:19:03,567
essentially, it is still impossible
to avoid oversteering.
215
00:19:04,133 --> 00:19:07,367
In this regard, it depends on how
the driver responds to such a situation.
216
00:19:07,367 --> 00:19:10,333
Oversteering on a downhill can be fatal.
217
00:19:10,333 --> 00:19:13,867
It's better to make it understeer,
which can make it even faster.
218
00:19:14,333 --> 00:19:16,167
Since the opponent is an expert,
219
00:19:16,167 --> 00:19:19,033
I suppose he would have
the car perfectly tuned.
220
00:19:25,433 --> 00:19:29,267
If we could find an opportunity
to disrupt his rhythm,
221
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:32,467
then Fujiwara could have a chance to win.
222
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:40,333
I can't overtake him.
223
00:19:40,767 --> 00:19:41,967
But...
224
00:19:44,567 --> 00:19:46,867
The gap between us has not widened either.
225
00:19:46,867 --> 00:19:50,467
I'm merely following the route
and speed of the car in front...
226
00:19:53,367 --> 00:19:55,533
You've managed to keep up until now,
227
00:19:55,533 --> 00:19:57,167
this could be considered a miracle.
228
00:19:57,767 --> 00:20:00,967
I won't need the rearview
mirror from now on.
229
00:20:00,967 --> 00:20:03,467
Since I've come this far, I don't
need any calculations anymore.
230
00:20:03,467 --> 00:20:06,100
All I need to do is to sprint forward.
231
00:20:06,733 --> 00:20:10,133
I will look back when I reach the end.
232
00:20:10,133 --> 00:20:12,133
By that time, the winner
will definitely be me.
233
00:20:24,533 --> 00:20:27,333
What? The 86 turned off the headlights.
234
00:20:27,333 --> 00:20:29,033
Is that a joke?
235
00:20:29,033 --> 00:20:31,233
He is driving on a completely
dark mountain road...
236
00:20:31,767 --> 00:20:33,400
What on earth is he trying to do?
237
00:20:38,633 --> 00:20:41,167
Did the 86 turn off its headlights?
238
00:20:41,167 --> 00:20:43,133
Is this a "Blind Attack"?
239
00:20:43,867 --> 00:20:45,300
Ryosuke,
240
00:20:46,233 --> 00:20:49,933
I think Fujiwara might have realized that
241
00:20:49,933 --> 00:20:53,433
the high-speed section would
be disadvantageous to him.
242
00:20:54,033 --> 00:20:56,300
This is Fujiwara's unique talent.
243
00:20:57,300 --> 00:20:58,367
No.
244
00:20:59,067 --> 00:21:01,633
He might have heard the sound of the 86.
245
00:21:05,533 --> 00:21:07,233
"Blind Attack".
246
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:10,133
Fujiwara's unique technique.
247
00:21:10,133 --> 00:21:12,567
It allows him to strike at
his opponent psychologically
248
00:21:12,567 --> 00:21:17,467
while making it impossible
for them to detect his line of attack.
249
00:21:17,467 --> 00:21:23,233
However, for those who know the route
well and are particularly focused...
250
00:21:23,900 --> 00:21:25,167
That's right.
251
00:21:25,167 --> 00:21:27,633
This technique will not be
able to exert its full effect.
252
00:21:28,700 --> 00:21:30,000
But then...
253
00:21:33,933 --> 00:21:37,600
When the flip-up headlights are off,
254
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:39,867
the resistance is less
than when they are on.
255
00:21:40,967 --> 00:21:43,367
So he can reduce air resistance, right?
256
00:21:45,333 --> 00:21:48,767
Even if it only reduces
a bit of air resistance,
257
00:21:48,767 --> 00:21:53,267
Fujiwara wants to make
his car as fast as possible.
258
00:21:54,100 --> 00:21:56,800
Is this Fujiwara's obsession?
259
00:21:57,533 --> 00:22:00,700
And this obsession... perhaps...
260
00:22:03,367 --> 00:22:05,733
can provide him a glimmer of hope.
261
00:22:10,533 --> 00:22:13,833
It must be a little bit
earlier than his braking.
262
00:22:14,167 --> 00:22:15,800
I don't understand the principle,
263
00:22:16,333 --> 00:22:17,367
but...
264
00:22:18,333 --> 00:22:19,533
It should be here.
265
00:22:42,033 --> 00:22:44,433
He is so fast, even though
only for a split second.
266
00:22:47,967 --> 00:22:49,933
What exactly just happened?
267
00:22:52,367 --> 00:22:54,433
Damn it. I won't lose.
268
00:22:54,433 --> 00:22:55,867
I've already driven this far.
269
00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:02,200
I'll take this space.
270
00:23:02,533 --> 00:23:04,067
Let's see how long you can keep up.
271
00:23:27,233 --> 00:23:29,167
My spoiler is broken.
272
00:23:29,633 --> 00:23:32,367
I can't let the race
continue to drag on any longer.
273
00:23:33,033 --> 00:23:35,800
I need to end it in the first round.
274
00:23:44,700 --> 00:23:47,067
The whole car is
having strange vibrations.
275
00:23:47,533 --> 00:23:49,900
Although I'm not clear about
the current situation of the spoiler,
276
00:23:49,900 --> 00:23:52,067
the sideway balance of the car is gone.
277
00:23:54,267 --> 00:23:58,067
It would be better if the whole spoiler
broke off and flew away directly.
278
00:24:02,667 --> 00:24:05,233
Damn it, how could I lose here?
279
00:24:05,733 --> 00:24:07,933
I just need to rush
to the limit with momentum.
280
00:25:02,433 --> 00:25:05,967
It seems today... God has not favored me.
