(Initial D 2nd Stage)

(Episode 7: Battle of Akagi - Flash of White and Black)

I couldn't sleep at all last night.

The 86 is not here.

It feels like I've lost something important...

Like losing a family member...

Good morning.

You look dazed early in the morning again.

Itsuki,

you're too excited in the morning.

What are you so happy about?

Isn't it obvious?

Today is finally the day

of the race between the "RedSuns" and the "Emperor".

I've been too excited since morning, I couldn't even use the bathroom.

Takumi, let's go together in one car,

just like when we went to Myogi.

Can you lend your 86?

Didn't you hear me?

I said your 86...

Well...

Takumi, wait for me.

Today's race is really something to look forward to.

What do you think?

In my opinion, Ryosuke Takahashi should win.

I think Sudo of the "Emperor" is not that good.

He's just got a better car.

Don't talk about something you don't understand.

Why are you so angry?

I'm not angry...

I have something to do today, I won't go to Akagi.

Why not?

I really can't today. You go with Iketani and the others.

What did you say?

Takumi lost?

Yes.

He really went to Akagi yesterday.

I heard Takumi's 86 stopped in the middle of the race yesterday.

Stopped in the middle...

Was it a malfunction? Or did the 86's engine break down?

We are not sure what happened.

The news is everywhere.

I thought you would know something, boss...

Aren't you on good terms with Takumi's dad?

I don't know anything.

Wait for me, I'll call and ask.

No one is answering.

Takumi should be at school now.

It's so frustrating not knowing what happened.

It's Keisuke Takahashi.

Where is Fujiwara Takumi?

If you're looking for him, he's off today.

I see.

Actually, I'd rather talk to him directly.

Can you pass a message for me?

Yesterday's race doesn't count.

I don't accept this result.

That strange race can't be called a race.

I don't care what others think,

I don't consider Fujiwara Takumi to have lost.

And one more thing,

we will definitely avenge him.

We will definitely break the pride of those "Emperor" guys.

That's it, I'm leaving.

Ok, I'll definitely pass the message.

Good luck with your race tonight.

We will be there.

FUJIWARA TOFU STORE

It's over...

Hey.

Itsuki.

This rock is too big.

What if it breaks the window?

I wanted to find a rock of the proper size,

but I couldn't find one.

I thought it would be okay if I threw it lightly...

How can that be okay?

With the speed you just threw it, it would definitely break the glass.

Sorry, I didn't mean to throw the rock at your car.

Really.

Anyway, it's all my fault.

What's wrong? Didn't you say you were going to Akagi?

It's okay, I'm not planning to go either.

I want to go for a drive in Akina later.

Do you want to go with me?

H... Hey, Takumi.

I apologize for what happened this morning.

I didn't know anything then.

Don't worry about it.

Have you heard about what happened yesterday?

I stopped by the gas station after school, and senior Iketani told me.

So the seniors heard too.

Everyone is talking about it now.

They are really concerned about this.

By the way, senior Iketani asked me to pass a message to you.

Strange, there's a car tailing us.

I think it's probably coming to watch today's race.

I think so too.

But he's close. It's like he's urging me to drive faster. It's overwhelming.

I'll speed up a bit.

He has caught up.

Let's let him pass first.

What car is that?

It's an AE86 LEVIN.

It also has a turbo installed.

I can clearly hear the sound of the wastegate.

Compared to that, my SR20 turbo feels still.

I can't believe it, we're going uphill.

Where did this car come from?

Do we have such a monster level 86 in Gunma?

Keisuke Takahashi came to the gas station today.

He said he doesn't accept the result of yesterday's race.

I don't quite understand what he means.

But I really felt helpless at the end yesterday. I lost, no doubt.

Is the Sudo Kyoichi from the "Emperor" really that good?

He's really good.

Even if we raced in Akina, I probably wouldn't be able to win against him.

I see.

By the way, Takumi,

how is that 86? Is it repaired?

Dad said we'd have to replace the engine.

What?

If I had known it, I wouldn't have gone to Akagi.

The more I think about it now, the more I regret it.

The atmosphere feels so heavy.

Have you heard about yesterday's incident?

Yes...the 86 from Akina lost, right?

I heard that Sudo Kyoichi of the "Emperor" is very strong.

In this case, Ryosuke Takahashi is the last defense of our Gunma.

I really hope he doesn't lose.

What? Shingo, you came too?

Takeshi,

just for today, I want to cheer for the "RedSuns".

Ryosuke Takahashi can't possibly lose.

How can we let the LAN EVO army look down on our Gunma?

Right.

Why are we standing together again?

Let's watch the race separately.

86.

Is it the 86 from Akina?

Idiot, it has a Saitama license plate.

Kazumi, this is a nice spot.

Yes.

The LAN EVO army is here.

Come on, RedSuns!

Ryosuke, do you have anything to say?

No.

Today's friendly race is just between you and me.

Just as I wish, let's start.

Let's have a real race.

(Initial D 2nd Stage)

(Initial D 2nd Stage)

Didn't you tell me before

that you don't want to race in Akina anymore?

So when I heard about yesterday, I really thought you were amazing.

Because you have the courage to challenge others in foreign fields.

That's not it.

I didn't go to the race with that mindset yesterday.

Something upsetting happened to me and I felt very annoyed.

I didn't know what to do, so I just drove recklessly.

That's why I broke the car in the end.

I think this is probably my punishment.

I shouldn't have driven with that kind of mindset.

I've finally understood this.

I lost the race because the opponent was better.

But I regret damaging my dad's beloved car.

Takumi...

Kyoichi, which tactic are you going to use today?

I plan on using "Tactic X".

Tactic X?

Do we have a Tactic X?

This is specially prepared for Ryosuke Takahashi,

a tactic devised for today's race.

If we use "Tactic X", we can definitely win.

The countdown begins now

Five.

Four.

Three.

Two.

One.

GO.

As long as brother shows his usual strength,

he won't possibly lose to LAN EVO.

Ryosuke Takahashi's cornering is very beautiful.

What's wrong with him?

Ryosuke Takahashi usually lets his opponent run in front.

How will today's race turn out?

Wow, both cars are so powerful.

This is an exciting race.

Kazumi, can you see the complex battle between these two cars?

Although EVO3 rushed out at the start,

he didn't overtake.

When the two cars rushed to the first corner together,

I felt the EVO3 driver took a step back.

I think that EVO3

probably has some kind of plan, which is why it purposely stays behind.

I didn't expect to see such an exciting race.

It's worth my trip to Akagi.

700 METERS

I can win, I'm sure to win this race.

Being behind like this, I can see every move of Ryosuke.

I can see through Ryosuke.

The mist in my heart has all cleared now.

Ryosuke, I haven't forgotten

the words you said to me

after I lost to you a year ago...

Ryosuke, don't be too smug.

I won't acknowledge a guy who races on mountain roads.

You are all just third-rate drivers.

I learn from professional motor racing where speed is the ultimate pursuit.

How could it not be better than the childish skills used in road racing?

This is my belief.

How you think of it is none of my business.

But there are techniques for mountain road racing.

The techniques honed on the track and in Gymkhana

can't conquer the mountain roads.

There's no such thing, it's absolutely impossible.

Kyoichi,

I don't want to continue this meaningless debate with you.

We won't have an answer just by arguing.

If you want to prove your theory,

then find a way to beat me.

If you can't do that, it's just an armchair strategy.

I will remember your words.

I won't lose next time.

I will let you taste this bitter feeling.

Ryosuke, I haven't forgotten your words.

You should be very clear

that today's race

is a race where we bet on each other's racing philosophy

and all beliefs.

Ryosuke,

you said there are techniques for mountain road racing.

Your bold route of taking the shortest distance around corners,

the heel-and-toe technique,

and your zero Counter four-wheel drift.

You are indeed very fast,

but these aren't techniques for mountain roads.

What you are showing is professional racing skills.

If you want to pursue speed,

the most important thing is still professional racing skills.

My belief has never wavered.

Ryosuke's FC is still leading,

EVO3 is closely behind.

They are coming.

Who is leading?

FC or EVO3?

The one leading is FC.

Ryosuke, let me show you

the results of my hard training for a year.

From now on,

I'll show you what "misfiring system" is and the true power of four-wheel-drive.

What...

It overtook!

Ryosuke Takahashi's FC was overtaken!

86 has revived.

Someone has seen the missing 86 in Akina.
