PLEASE DRIVE SAFE AND FOLLOW THE RULES.

(Initial D 2nd Stage)

(Episode 6: Goodbye 86)

You mean Takumi might have gone to Akagi?

Boss,

I'm not too sure.

It's just a possibility...

Takumi has been acting strange since this morning.

I wonder if anyone from our team is currently at Akagi.

Just give them a call...

No, even if Takumi really went to race with that EVO3,

it'd be too late to stop him now.

I thought he and Mogi were off on a sweet date.

What were you doing?

I'm sorry...

You don't have to apologize.

This isn't your fault, young lady.

Besides, maybe Takumi didn't go to Akagi to race.

Takumi...

I haven't... I haven't lost yet.

The 86 has been overtaken.

This settles it.

Next is to shake him off.

After all, the one racing is the cautious Kyoichi...

Did Kyoichi overtake and take the lead?

Don't let your guard down.

The terrifying thing about the 86 is just about to start.

Kyoichi, you never know what will happen.

Here they come.

EVO3.

It's the "Emperor".

Where's the 86?

It's here too.

He's speeding up again.

I see.

He hasn't raced on this mountain road before,

so he couldn't speed up and attack the corner if he was leading.

But if he's driving behind me,

he can observe my cornering moves and judge the route ahead.

He's really amazing.

With that powerless old car.

Considering the difference in acceleration between EVO3 and 86 when exiting the corner,

his cornering speed is faster than mine...

This is unbelievable.

His handling skills are incredible.

What should I do? Should I increase the load on the tires and speed up to shake him off? Or...

Or should I wait until the straight road ahead,

then easily pull away with horsepower?

This isn't like me.

The answer has actually been decided from the very beginning.

I don't have to change the current speed.

Losing judgment here would be the most foolish act.

This is probably how Seiji lost.

Those who can master the load capacity of the tires are top-notch drivers.

Adapting to changes with constancy.

Everything is for the sake of victory.

The distance between the two cars hasn't widened,

but has actually reduced.

What?

The 86's cornering speed seems to be faster than it was in Akina.

I think so too.

Brother, why do you say that?

The middle section of the Akagi mountain road is a series of S-type medium-speed corners.

In this section, the acceleration time between corners

is just a fleeting moment.

Yes.

The rest of the time

is spent fighting against the centrifugal force from the sides.

Kyoichi's EVO3, equipped with the "Misfiring System",

has an exiting acceleration that the 86 can't match.

To counter this,

the 86 can only try to close the gap when attacking the corner.

Its only advantage is being lightweight.

Delay braking when entering the corner,

maximize the grip of the four tires,

and thus change the cornering speed.

If it weren't for a lot of practice,

mastering the 86 like his own body,

he wouldn't be able to perform such extraordinary skills.

It seems that Fujiwara hasn't given up yet.

I think he's never had the term "give up" in his mind.

Now, he has completely merged with the car.

That's just how it is.

Even if I try my best to close the gap in the corners,

the distance would be stretched again on that short straight road.

Is this the difference in horsepower?

FUJIWARA TOFU STORE

Hello, Fujiwara Tofu Store.

Oh? It's Yuichi.

He hasn't come home yet.

What's going on tonight?

Why is everyone looking for him?

What? He went to Akagi.

Is that so?

Pretty impressive that you can still keep up with me.

I'm complimenting you. This is absolutely great work.

That's it. I'm hanging up.

The annoying S-curve is about to end.

As soon as I exit the next corner, I will use all my horsepower to shake him off.

I have to start giving it all too.

The race will end in an instant.

His driving style has changed.

For the first time in this race, an aggressive drift followed the counter-steer.

This represents my determination to win the race.

Although this straight road is not long,

it's more than enough to deal with the 86.

(Initial D 2nd Stage)

(Initial D 2nd Stage)

So fast. He's pulling away.

Is it really over?

Can I not catch up with him?

Is there really no hope?

In the world of racing,

a blown engine is equivalent to a loss.

But as I said at the beginning,

I didn't see this duel as a race.

This way, you can also see the reality.

That car is no good anymore.

Your engine is completely broken, isn't it?

This is a good opportunity.

You should scrap this 86.

No matter how fast you are in the corners,

the difference in speed is still obvious.

Until you switch to a car that can compete with mine,

let's hold off on the outcome of this race.

What?

Dealing with the 86 is a piece of cake.

After all, this is just a side show.

A side show?

I saw you were being pressed hard.

No, that's not even a side show.

After all, the 86 blew its engine before we could decide the race.

His engine blew up?

That idiot...

It seems like the 86 lost.

Really?

The "RedSuns" are talking about this right now.

I heard his engine broke.

The 86 couldn't beat the EVO3 after all.

The difference in horsepower is too big.

The 86 was undefeated in downhill races.

It's heartbreaking.

Kyoichi is really great.

See? The 86 is not better than us.

This is the expected result.

But...

I don't understand. I feel like something is missing.

Was I expecting a miracle to happen?

Just because the opponent is that 86?

Let's leave our race until the weekend.

I'm looking forward to competing with you.

You can only brag now.

Ryosuke Takahashi, I will defeat you,

and let the "Emperor" dominate the Gunma area.

My favorite...

My favorite... my 86...

Hi.

Dad...

Dad, I...

We'll talk about it later.

Let's finish what needs to be done first.

Let's pull the car onto the truck together.

What are you looking at?

Don't daydream. Get in the car.

All right.

How did you know...

I had this happen?

I don't know why, I just had a feeling.

A feeling?

Yes.

Um... Dad.

What?

I've saved around 200,000 from work in the passbook.

Although I think it's probably not enough,

you can use this money to repair the engine.

You've got more than 200,000.

You are actually quite rich.

Haven't you been delivering tofu for me since junior high?

I saved some money in your name.

Although when I go out drinking, I occasionally borrow a bit from it.

We'll use that money to repair it.

Impossible.

Does it cost so much to repair an engine?

Then how much do you need?

It's not a matter of money.

I mean the engine is beyond repair.

The piston pin between the crankshaft and the connecting rod broke.

The connecting rod punctured the cylinder body from the inside.

There's a big hole in the engine.

It's all my fault...

If I hadn't messed around, it wouldn't have broken...

This engine is beyond saving.

Now we can only replace it with a new one.

A new one?

Yes.

We'll use the engine from another car?

I feel like even if it's repaired, it won't be the original car anymore.

Isn't that engine very special?

You made so many adjustments to make its performance so good.

Can't we think of a way to repair it?

If the money is not enough, I can also take a loan.

I'll give you all the money I earn from my part-time job.

I'm not that broke yet.

Then why replace it with the engine from another car?

If it could really be repaired...

If it could be repaired, it's okay to repair it.

But it can't be repaired.

This engine is beyond saving.

That's just how it is.

FUJIWARA TOFU STORE

Takumi... He hasn't come home yet.

What's wrong with him?

I feel... he's acting strange.

Takumi.

You think the engine broke down because of you, right?

Don't think too much.

It just happened to break down when you were driving.

It's not your fault.

Goodbye, 86.
