THIS IS A WORK OF FICTION.

PLEASE DRIVE SAFE AND FOLLOW THE RULES.

(Initial D Fifth Stage)

Ryosuke...

what on earth is going on?

The Grim Reaper seems off too.

He clearly has killing intent right now.

The man of his target seems to know this, but he doesn't plan on leaving the battlefield.

This isn't an ordinary race.

It seems I got drawn into a huge battle.

Ryosuke, you're really incredible.

Your confusion just now has disappeared.

Your adaptability is really strong.

Your skills surpass my imagination.

Kaori...

You must be nearby watching us, right?

I'm dedicating this race to you.

Even if I die here tonight, I have no regrets.

I have no fear anymore.

It's impossible to run away from the Grim Reaper.

That car...

is unbelievably fast.

Are you really going to do it?

Are you sure?

(Episode 10: Full Stop)

According to Takumi,

the white FC is probably not Ryosuke Takahashi's car.

So it's probably just his fan.

After all, our team member only caught a glimpse of it.

Right, he also mentioned that there was a spoiler added to the FC.

What? Then it's not it.

Ryosuke Takahashi's FC does not have a spoiler.

Fair enough.

It probably isn't him then.

He still has such devoted fans after he retired?

Ryosuke Takahashi truly deserves the title of Akagi's white comet.

I'm so envious.

I would love to be like him.

That... probably won't happen.

Be it the looks, intelligence, or wealth...

Ryosuke... it's all over.

Disappear.

Stop... stop it.

He's really gone mad.

He's taking advantage of the Attesa E-TS 4WD system

to pressure the opponent from the side as they rev up to speed.

If getting hit straight on by that heavy car,

no car could withstand that.

The strongest rotary engine expert in North Kanto

is going to die on the mountain road of Hakone tonight.

Take his life.

Kaori...

How could he...

I can't believe it...

He used the slope of the shoulder as the incline on a racetrack to pull his car back.

How is that even possible?

Even seeing it with my own eyes, it's still hard to believe.

If he had tried to pull the car back onto the road by force,

it would have hit the curb and overturned.

But he didn't opt to pull it back, he drove straight up the slope.

It was his instinctive reaction.

He simply didn't have time to think before he acted.

He is a talented driver whose skills are on par with downhill racer, Takumi Fujiwara.

You're really lucky.

But how long can your good luck hold?

Is that all you've got, senior?

I won't run away or hide.

You can't defeat me easily.

Bring it on,

Rin Hojo.

Takumi, what's the matter?

You've been zoning out since a while ago.

It's nothing.

I'm just a little concerned about the phone call from before.

You mean the imposter?

Excuse me, may I make a call?

Of course.

Don't worry about that.

Sorry, I'll be right back.

Hello.

Fujiwara, why did you call me this late?

You want to ask about that?

It does seem to be Ryosuke's car.

It's okay, don't worry.

Though I'm not sure where he is, or what he is doing.

Now, Keisuke will talk to you.

Hello, Fujiwara?

Listen well.

You don't need to worry about my brother.

He isn't that weak for you to worry about him.

All you need to do is stay focused and face the final race.

There's no time for romance now.

Just trust my brother.

Don't worry.

I got it.

Bye.

Damn it...

I can't say.

This has nothing to do with you.

I can't accept it if you don't tell me the truth.

There's someone in your heart, right?

Just tell me.

What's the name of the man who took you away from me?

Who is he?

Dad...

How dare you do that behind our back?

Are you trying to ruin everything at home?

Why is my business going so well?

Why can you go to university without worries?

Don't you know it's all thanks to Principal Hojo?

Go change your clothes quickly.

Kaori.

You go and apologize to the Hojo family with me now.

If you apologize sincerely, you should be forgiven.

I have talked with Rin.

This is what he also told me.

I don't want to.

I won't apologize.

Have you had enough of a tantrum?

Why do you have to make so much trouble for me?

You better behave.

I'm doing all this for your own good.

You have no other options.

I don't want to go.

Dad...

I'd rather die...

than going there...

Ryosuke...

As expected of RB26.

With a horsepower of up to 650.

When the straight track is long enough, he caught right up.

Ryosuke, sorry.

You won't get away this time.

(Initial D Fifth Stage)

(Initial D Fifth Stage)

How humiliating, I can't do anything.

Do I have to just watch the tragedy happen before my eyes?

There's no slope on the side this time.

On the other side of the guardrail...

is a cliff.

He pulled back.

The Grim Reaper's all-out side attack had no effect.

What happened?

I see, I got it.

It's speed.

The FC's cornering speed is too fast.

That's why what was considered an absolutely indefensible side attack

could be perfectly neutralized by him.

He actually found a loophole.

The moment I crashed into him, he dodged the G force and absorbed the impact.

Why...

Why can't I kill Ryosuke?

Facing the attack from the Grim Reaper,

sticking to the creed of "slow in, fast out" in cornering will only get you slaughtered.

Is he sacrificing exiting speed to increase velocity?

Come to think of it, he perfectly predicted the Grim Reaper's actions.

Despite such dire circumstances, his willpower hasn't wavered in the slightest.

He did not close his heart. Fear and anger did not affect him in the least.

This is the ideal state of "Zero Hearts" I strive for.

That man perfectly embodied something I lack.

Ryosuke Takahashi... you are truly remarkable.

No matter how fast the car is,

in a normal race, the Grim Reaper would not be able to beat him.

Your mental state is extraordinary.

I can almost see the Grim Reaper's anxious figure.

So the fact that the GT-R is behind you bears even more significance now.

Even though I have never met Go Hojo of "Sidewinder",

Rin Hojo is my senior by three years in college.

I want to save senior Hojo.

He is suffering just like me...

So I can't run away from this race.

This is also an important race for me.

The senior Hojo I know is a thoughtful and intelligent person.

In fact, he has long known everything.

But he is still deceiving himself and sealing his mind, refusing to accept reality.

He just needs a push.

I trust him.

"Words" are indeed convenient, but they are also weak and pointless.

I believe some things cannot be conveyed by "words".

Ryosuke, what you said

is really complicated.

Even so,

I still don't understand why he chose this particular time.

He and Go Hojo are brothers. If they were to join power,

it could potentially lead the last race in Kanagawa to a trap in their favor.

That's impossible.

How can you be so sure?

There's a reason.

There's a reason

why Rin Hojo specified today as the race day.

Today is the second anniversary of Kaori's death.

It's only been two years since that incident.

What I can't forgive the most,

is that you've already moved on.

You're really cold-blooded.

You seem to forget everything so easily.

Is that all Kaori meant to you?

No, that's not it.

The pain in my heart

and this deep sorrow

are different from stopping in despair.

No matter how painful,

our duty is to keep moving forward.

You are the one who's wrong.

You're just avoiding reality.

Shut up... Ryosuke!

The one who's running away is you.

Kaori's suicide is the responsibility of both of us.

Ryosuke, you must not forget.

I will not let you forget!

I have not forgotten.

I'm not running away either.

This incident has never been absent from my mind.

That's why I decided to move forward.

Do you think she wants to see us fighting to death?

This will only make her more upset.

Senior Hojo... do you really not understand?

You need to wake up.

If you are pushing me like this for Kaori,

then for her,

I have an obligation to wake you up.

This is not good...

The way he steps on the brake pedal... It's to test how much braking power is left.

Is there a problem with my feeling?

Or is there really a problem with the GT-R's brakes?

As long as she lives well in the world,

I have nothing to ask for.

Kaori,

you are the most perfect woman for me.

No matter what others say,

even if the person you choose is not me,

as long as you are happy, it's fine.

Your soft hair,

deep eyes,

snow-white, bright skin,

slender figure,

delicate curves.

In my eyes, you are a work of art.

However,

you are no longer here.

The Grim Reaper blatantly struck from the side.

The Grim Reaper didn't aim to bump him off the road,

he's trying to push him off the lane with the body of the car.

This is no longer a matter of whether he can dodge it or not.

Grim Reaper, what kind of joke is this?

We are on a bridge right now, there's a valley underneath.

he hit the brakes, freeing the front of the car from the Reaper's pressure.

Both their cars lost control!

This is amazing.

The under-steered GT-R hit the curb directly.

The over-steered FC turned the wheel to the end and missed the driving route.

Though it seems to be a dogfight of hurting each other,

it's filled with countless finely honed skills.

It's a brilliant confrontation.

Grim Reaper, it's such a pity you've become like this.

You clearly have such superior skills.

Why would you let your car become a lethal weapon?

My attacks still can't kill you?

I really didn't see you were such a foolish man.

Instead of running away, you choose to fight me head-on.

What's this for?

And for whom?

Here it comes again.

There's clearly something wrong with that car.

Its braking distance has become longer.

A brakes failing on this mountain road can be fatal.

Why are you still pushing the gas under this condition?

Ryosuke, what is your dream?

Do you want to become an outstanding doctor?

That's good.

I think it's really amazing.

But this can't be considered a dream.

It can only be seen as a practical goal.

I think men still need to have dreams.

Me?

Women are different.

As long as they have practical goals, they can survive.

Because women aren't strong enough to ignore reality and pursue their dreams.

So...

I think chasing dreams is a privilege for men.

Honestly, as long as I can always stay by the side of my significant other

and watch him chase his dreams, that's enough.

Dream... huh?

The understeer is quite severe.

The grip of the front wheels has been nearly exhausted.

But what's more serious is...

My brakes are failing too.

How careless of me.

I totally didn't expect this game to be dragged out so long.

Driving downhill puts more strain on the brakes than on a racetrack.

After this corner,

there is an emergency parking ramp.

Grim Reaper, if you can't stop, just drive your car that way.

That's enough, right?

This is the moment.

Pass it!

That fool.

The speed of the GT-R seems off.

The most likely situation

is that his brakes have a problem.

This is bad.

What should I do?

I'm really disappointed in you,

Kaori.

Do what you want.

This incident has made both my father and me very upset.

You will probably regret this in the future.

This may sound harsh,

but your father's company will probably face difficulties in the future.

You will definitely regret that you didn't choose me.

That wasn't my true feeling.

It was just my words out of anger.

Kaori...

Am I the one who pushed you into a dead end?

Even when he cuts in so close, he still drives off track.

Has the braking force of that car completely depleted?

Now, the only attack method left for the Grim Reaper is to collide with his car.

Ryosuke Takahashi, hurry up and escape.

Hurry up and shake him off.

What a pity... The Grim Reaper now has gone mad.

You don't have to play with him anymore.

Hurry up and escape from his attack range.

Why do you let go of the accelerator before the braking point?

Why do you slow down here?

Why...

Ryosuke, what are you doing?

It's impossible for you to stop it.

This heavy R32 can't be stopped.

My brakes are completely wrecked.

With the brakes on your FC, you can't withstand the weight of these two cars.

Goodbye.

Ryosuke...

What are you talking about?

Where are you now?

Thank you for all these days.

Though the time was short,

I had a great time.

Tell me where you are.

I'm coming to you right now.

I'm so glad to have met you.

Ryosuke...

Farewell.

The axles of our two cars are not aligned.

It's going to be hard to keep the balance.

I can't believe I made such an irreversible mistake.

FD can't exert its maximum braking force.

No... It's not slowing down.

I can't stop...
