(Initial D 2nd Stage)

(Episode 9: Birth of the New 86)

FUJIWARA TOFU STORE

It's freezing.

Dad, can we use the heater now?

You're cold because you're not moving.

Move around a bit.

You sound like a PE teacher.

This sound is...

Dad, did you fix it?

Can it run now?

Of course.

After all, it has a new engine.

From today, you'll use it for delivery.

Takumi, I have something to tell you.

The money you've earned earlier

all were used to repair this car.

So now, this car is half yours.

But... it was me who broke it in the first place.

Is that okay?

It didn't break down because you were careless.

It's not your fault.

Apart from your salary at the gas station,

I also used the money you earned from tofu delivery.

So you have to cherish it.

Anyway, I've made up my mind on this.

Don't refuse, just go make the delivery.

Okay...

Something feels weird.

With a racing bucket seat, you should have a slightly lower line of sight now.

You'll get used to it after you drive for a bit.

The steering wheel is heavier than before.

The clutch too...

At the instant when the clutch engages,

he should feel it.

A strange feeling that can't be described.

Go enjoy your time with your boyfriend with a Mercedes.

Why does Takumi know about this?

Why...

Why him of all people?

It's a disaster.

Why did things become like this?

If this is a dream, let me wake up quickly.

Please...

How should I drive this?

It's hard to drive.

What's going on?

What did you say? The 86 is repaired...

Really?

Takumi, have you driven it yet?

What do you think?

What do I think...

The car can run normally.

-Dude... -Of course I know it can run.

That's not what we wanted to ask.

Iketani and the others will be shocked.

After all, that new engine is very powerful.

What kind of engine did it get? How does it feel to drive?

Did it get a lot faster?

It's a headache.

You guys might be disappointed if I tell you.

I think it's slower than the previous engine.

This engine doesn't have much horsepower.

What?

I am the lonely racer.

The evil spirit of the mountain road...

It's an 86, so cool!

I've never seen this car around here.

Takumi,

what do you mean by the new engine doesn't have much horsepower?

How should I put it... the car is slow.

How could this happen?

Bunta clearly said that the engine is very powerful.

Did my dad say that?

I don't think it's that great.

The car has become very difficult to drive.

H... how could this be...

Even if it's difficult to drive, it should have a lot of horsepower.

I can guarantee,

the engine is really good.

So you know what kind of engine it is, boss?

Have you driven that car?

No... I haven't.

You guys got me confused.

Bunta, what's going on?

How come that engine doesn't have much horsepower?

It's a roll cage and a racing bucket seat.

It looks so cool.

If I get an 86, I want to paint it just like this.

There's even a turbo boost gauge installed!

Which means, this 86...

has got a turbo engine!

This is the LEVIN I've always dreamed of.

I really want a car like this!

I really do!

Hey, you.

What are you doing?

That's our car.

No, I didn't do anything, I just...

I think this is a good car.

A good car...

Isn't this just a common domestic car you see everywhere?

You're suspicious.

You saw the out-of-town license plate

and wanted to play a prank, right?

What are you saying?

How could I possibly do that?

Can you stop shouting?

What are you angry about?

I'm telling you, I just really like the 86 model.

Don't judge people like that.

In Gunma, we don't have those kind of scumbags who'd prank other people's cars.

Tsk...

Crazy woman.

Kazumi.

I know where the hotel Aunt works at is.

What's wrong with you?

Nothing.

Gunma sucks.

What are you talking about? We've just arrived here.

And you're going to be staying here for a while.

If it's trivial, just bear with it.

I'm really worried about you.

After all, you have such a bad temper.

You're helping during maple leaf season. Still, that's a service industry.

Don't do anything that would embarrass Aunt.

I got it.

Even if there's annoying customers, you can't just start a fight with them.

You are the one to talk, brother. Don't take a detour to Akagi

to challenge someone just because you happened to come to Gunma.

I won't.

Who would go to that tourist spot during the daytime, and especially on a Sunday...

Even if you don't say it, I can see it.

You're going to challenge that guy sooner or later.

The white FC in Akagi.

FC, huh...

Well... who knows?

FUJIWARA TOFU STORE

I want to ask about that engine you installed before.

Takumi said that it's slower than the previous one.

I see.

Did you do something?

Why would I take the trouble?

Then isn't that very strange?

Not at all.

What Takumi said is true.

What are you talking about?

Yuichi, don't you get it?

If you think about it, you'll understand.

Understand what?

If you don't understand, forget it.

I'm going to hang up now. I'm very busy.

Wait... wait a minute.

Bunta?

What is going on?

What day is it today?

Damn it, I can't control it at all.

If I don't hurry, I'm going to be late for work.

Isn't that the crazy woman from last time?

(Initial D 2nd Stage)

(Initial D 2nd Stage)

TAIYAKI

I want six taiyaki.

I'll take five to go and eat the remaining one here.

Here you go. That's 660 yen in total.

Please eat while it's hot.

Delicious.

Oh no, I'm 10 yen short.

Um, sorry, do you take a ten-thousand-yen bill?

I'm afraid not.

I've used up all my change.

What do I do...

Take mine.

Thank you, I'll pay you back.

No need, it's only 10 yen.

No.

I would feel bad if I don't pay back the money I owe.

Tell me where to return it to you.

I work at this gas station just ahead.

I started working at a hotel too, and now I live there.

I came to help my aunt.

Today I'm out running errands.

Sorry about last time, you're a good person.

It's okay...

Actually, I'm very happy.

Because not many people praise my brother's old LEVIN.

So that's your brother's car.

I don't know anyone here in Gunma.

So... I feel a little bored.

Or should I say, a bit lonely.

Can you be my friend?

My name is Akiyama Kazumi.

My name is Takeuchi Itsuki.

Then I'll call you Itsuki.

Goodbye.

This feeling...

Could it be...

The spring?

The 86 of Akina has revived.

Kenta said he saw that car on the mountain road.

And the words "Fujiwara Tofu Store" were written on the car.

Did it get a new engine?

It seems we need to take a look.

Yes.

Here it comes.

This engine sound...

Brother, that just now...

Yes, he seems to be unable to fully control it yet,

but that 86 has revived and become quite powerful.

Why did you come back so late?

Something happened on the road?

No.

After I finished delivering, I drove on the mountain road of Akina for a while.

Used a lot of gas.

Sorry.

It's okay, don't worry about it.

Dad.

The car's cornering has become very difficult now.

The places where I could easily corner before,

I can't do it now.

It really upset me.

I've tried many methods, but none of them worked.

This is a good sign.

Instead of adjusting the chassis, it's better to solve it on your own.

Takumi, you should struggle with it a bit more.

It's important to keep trying and adjusting your driving.

This car will secretly

take your skills to a higher level.

It will guide you to a higher realm.

Kazumi.

I came to repay the money I borrowed from you yesterday.

Here you go.

I paid you back.

Hmm.

Thank you very much for yesterday.

That's...

Let's meet at half past seven.

Itsuki, who was that girl just now?

She is my friend...

Your friend?

Didn't you say before "Street racers don't need girlfriends"?

Where is the "lonely racer Itsuki"?

Stop joking around with me.

No way, isn't this a LEVIN?

Is this really your car, Itsuki?

Yes, it's mine.

Me?

I just graduated from high school this spring.

So, I guess I'm a year older than you.

What have you been doing after you graduated?

I got a job before,

but a lot of unhappy things happened.

I have a bad temper.

My brother often scolds me.

Is your brother the owner of that 86?

You might laugh at me, despite my age, I still like to cling to him.

It's the same when he goes street racing.

My brother is recognized as the fastest downhill driver in Saitama.

Wataru's downhill...

My brother's name is Akiyama Wataru.

Everyone says his downhill racing is sharp.

My brother

used me as an excuse to come to Gunma.

He's probably causing trouble on some mountain road right now.

I refuse.

Our rule is not to race here in Akagi.

Why?

Is it because I drive an 86?

No.

It's simply because racing at home is too boring.

Everyone in Gunma knows, "RedSuns" never races on their own turf.

Don't take it personally.

I'll tell you something else.

We never underestimate people who drive an 86.

After all, there's a downhill specialist 86 in Gunma.

That guy has never lost a race.

What?

No matter what car the opponent drives.

He never lost no matter what car he was up against?

That's right.

Then I'd like to see who's faster, me or that 86.

What did you say?

Kenta, it's okay.

Anyway, we're not going to race here at Akagi.

I don't know where you came from,

but it's ten years too early for you to challenge Keisuke.

Fine.

I have to do it the hard way. Don't blame me.

Since you're so persistent,

I'll play with you.

That's what I'm talking about.

Give that outlander a taste of reality.

The sound. Is it a turbo 86?

He can actually catch up to me when cornering.

What's going on? Its horsepower is almost the same as mine.

Is it really an 86?

I don't know how powerful it is.

But if an 86 has that much horsepower, the chassis definitely won't hold.

It's a car that could break down at any moment,

but he's driving it so smoothly.

I can't keep up.

Damn it.

I'm not my brother, so I can't analyze it thoroughly.

But he's got some move.

I can't let him follow me anymore.

Don't underestimate me.

I won't be polite if you go easy.

I'm screwed.

Luckily, the car wasn't going fast when it spun out of control.

I need to put the warning triangle out quickly.

If a car comes rushing down now, it's over.

Wataru, who has heard the legend of Akina's 86,
