THIS IS A WORK OF FICTION.

PLEASE DRIVE SAFE AND FOLLOW THE RULES.

(Initial D 2nd Stage)

(Episode 10: Turbo 86's Declaration of War)

That really scared me.

I was just enjoying the race,

and it got interrupted.

Let's have a rematch when there's a chance.

Let's settle this next time.

What a show-off.

There really are all kinds of people in this world.

Looks like I have another source of entertainment.

A WEEK LATER

You can still go out on Sunday?

Are you actually helping?

You're really rude.

I was super busy this morning.

The boss said I've worked for two weeks, so he gave me the afternoon off.

I see, that's good.

But why did you come here, brother?

Nothing, I just came to check on you.

Dad is worried about you.

I'm fine, and work is going well.

That's good.

The car is almost out of gas.

I have to find a place to refuel.

Brother, I have a friend who works at a gas station.

Welcome.

Eh?

Brother, this is Itsuki.

Welcome.

98 gasoline, 20 liters.

Okay.

Her brother is so handsome.

That Turbo 86...

I remember it was...

My sister has been under your care.

She's stubborn and not cute at all, right?

No... there's no such thing.

Brother, don't talk nonsense to Itsuki.

But she's a good girl, please take care of her.

Okay.

I want to ask you something else.

I heard there's a very fast 86 in Gunma.

It's said that nobody can beat him downhill.

Although Gunma is actually quite big,

I think you might have heard some rumors.

Of course. He's my friend.

Are you serious?

Of course.

You're Itsuki, right?

I hate to ask you this on our first meeting,

but can you arrange for me to meet the driver of that 86?

I want to chat with him.

I'm curious about how he modified his car.

Leave it to me.

He's a bit weird, but he's a good person.

If you really want to meet him, we can do it today.

Really?

No problem.

I was planning to hang out with him after work anyway.

Great, then I'll leave it to you.

Thank you.

I didn't expect him to be a friend of Kazumi's friend.

Thanks to you, this friend came at the right time.

I don't like the way you talk.

Seems like you only care about Itsuki's friend, but not him.

Not at all. He gives a good impression.

What are you going to do when you meet Itsuki's friend?

Nothing special.

I just want to meet him.

He's unbeaten in the high-level Gunma area.

That's really amazing.

If that's true, it would be great.

After all, when it comes to racing, you sometimes get particularly crazy.

I'm really worried.

Takumi, please?

I want to make a good impression on Kazumi's brother.

It'll be more convenient in the future if I leave a good impression now.

Okay, I'll go.

It's okay for me to meet him,

but I definitely won't race with him.

The engine of my car is not working well now.

Of course, I know.

After the race with Nakazato from the NightKids, I've learned my lesson.

Kazumi's brother is a good person.

You'll understand when you see him.

It looks so cool, three 86 lined up.

Although my car is an 85...

So young...

The turbo 86 that came during the day,

I saw that car in the friendly race between the RedSuns and the Emperor.

Really?

Its uphill acceleration is fast.

With a brother who drives that kind of car,

will that girl Kazumi really be interested in Itsuki?

Iketani, you're still the same.

Your view will put you at a disadvantage in love.

Just look at Itsuki, he doesn't care about these things.

Instead of worrying about these things,

it's more practical to pursue them.

After all, you're still young.

Just changed to a new engine?

Yes.

He said it's slower than the previous engine.

Right, Takumi?

Yes...

Anyway, that's the situation. So he probably can't race for a while.

I'm right, aren't I?

Um... that's it.

Is it a factory original 4A-G engine that's never been modified?

Well... I don't know much about cars.

Although my car's horsepower is okay,

it's very hard to control.

I think that engine is weird.

Can I take a look at the engine?

Sure.

What is this?

It's different from the 4A-G engine.

No, it is a 4A-G engine.

Stop kidding.

Is this a joke?

I don't know where you got this "ordinary" engine from,

but don't look down on people. How can this engine not be fast?

No... well...

Why is he angry?

How would I know?

I thought we both drove an 86, so I wanted to chat with you.

Do you think my turbo modification is too shabby, so you don't take me seriously?

What do you mean by that? Can you tell me?

Brother, don't be like this.

I don't understand what you're saying at all.

Kazumi, don't interrupt.

I've never seen a street racer who would modify a car like this.

This is a racing-specific engine.

A high-end engine that I can't afford even if I want to.

You actually installed this engine in an 86 for street racing.

I'm so envious.

But you don't have to behave like this...

You can use whatever engine you want.

But you don't have to lie to me.

If your car is fast, you can just say so.

You two don't need to play this game.

Don't take people for fools.

How could... we didn't...

You are the one who should stop.

I didn't lie.

Itsuki, let's go. There's nothing to talk about with this kind of person.

-Takumi. -Are you going to run away?

I haven't finished yet.

Damn... Takumi is really getting mad.

The situation is getting out of control.

Kazumi...

I...

(Initial D 2nd Stage)

(Initial D 2nd Stage)

Brother, you're so weird.

Itsuki brought his friend to see you.

You go apologize to them.

If you don't apologize, you can go home.

Don't ever come here again!

Ka...Kazumi...

Don't talk to my friend like that.

I finally felt like I could work hard here on my own.

You just come here occasionally. Don't mess up my life.

I understand.

I'll go home.

Itsuki,

I'm going home too.

Wait... don't leave me here alone.

I'm leaving.

You... Takumi.

Takumi.

Ta...Takumi.

How embarrassing.

Being scolded like that by Kazumi...

It seems that bringing Kazumi to Gunma is a good idea.

But for me...

I'm sorry...

My brother gets really excited whenever he talks about cars.

It's okay, I don't mind.

I saw the troubled look on your face.

And suddenly I got angry at my brother's attitude.

By the time I came to my senses, I had already scolded him.

I hope you don't think I'm rude.

No...not at all.

Well...how should I put it, I'm actually quite happy.

Because you got angry for our sake.

Why did you stop?

Even if you drove past, I wouldn't chase after you.

But if you stop like this, it makes me want to continue arguing with you.

I'm not interested in you.

I just want to clarify something.

Is the engine in this car really that powerful?

I can tell, it's not an ordinary engine.

But if it's as powerful as you said,

I want to know why its horsepower is so weak.

I really don't know anything.

Are you serious?

How can the car owner not know?

Where did you get this thing?

My dad got this engine from somewhere I don't know.

He didn't tell me anything,

so I didn't know.

Your dad...

I see. Is your dad's job related to racing?

No, he's just a tofu seller.

Why could a tofu seller get an engine like this?

It's something you can't get even if you have money.

Never mind.

I'm interested in the potential of this engine.

Can you take me for a ride?

I want to feel the power of this engine myself.

Bunta, what are you going to do?

I plan to spend over a month.

That should be enough for car training.

The stuff you ordered has already arrived.

It's about time to install it, right?

What should I do?

I still feel that Takumi is lacking something.

It's good that he's willing to put in the effort to practice.

But he should have found out by now, shouldn't he?

Never mind, I'll just keep watching him for a while.

It feels strange.

The shift speed never increases.

When it hits the rev limit, the power is still strong.

But when he shifts up, the revs drop. So the power falls out of the power band.

There's nothing wrong with this engine, is there?

Why does the acceleration feel weaker than a turbo?

Why is that?

The potential of this thing should be more than this.

No way...

Here it comes again.

Why?

That's it! I get it.

So that's the reason.

Let me tell you why the horsepower of this car is so weak.

The reason is very simple, basic knowledge.

It's this.

It's the tachometer in front of you.

The tachometer?

This tachometer won't do.

Its rev limit is not high enough.

This engine...

It's a high-revving engine designed to gain more power by increasing the revs.

All naturally aspirated racing engines are designed this way.

The evidence is that every time you shift up before revving high,

you feel a sudden surge in horsepower, don't you?

You need to rev it a little higher.

The best part of this engine is sealed off,

so its full potential is not being utilized.

If I'm correct,

the rotational speed of this engine can at least go up to 10 000 RPM.

An original tachometer with a maximum of only over 7000 RPM is simply useless.

This is simply wasting the engine.

This engine was not originally planned for 86.

Although they are both called 4A-G engine,

this one's based on the new five-cylinder engine of the second generation 101 type.

It may have a variable valve timing system that controls high and low revs,

but given its entire design,

it is undoubtedly a high-revving engine.

I felt strange when I was sitting in the passenger seat just now.

For a car equipped with a racing engine, your dashboard is too simple.

A water temperature gauge and an oil pressure gauge are a must.

The person who modified this car

must be someone who knows cars well.

The chassis and brakes are just perfect,

and the body has been strengthened,

but only the dashboard accessories were not installed.

I think there can only be one answer.

That is, for some reason,

the person who modified this car deliberately sealed its horsepower.

Sealed its horsepower?

This is the simplest and most effective method.

The more experienced the driver, the less likely they are to redline.

As long as a new tachometer is not installed,

the RPM of this car will never exceed the red zone.

I've always treated the 86 drivers as companions,

never as opponents.

This is the first time I've had this thought.

I absolutely do not want to lose to you.

No matter how excellent your driving techniques are,

but you lack the most important thing for a street racer.

Only to you, I don't want to lose no matter what.

I will challenge you in a short time.

I lack...

the most important thing for a street racer?

This is a big hit.

This is the first time I've felt this way.

His approach to corners is really terrifying.

He easily surpassed the limit my body can bear.

Despite knowing nothing about cars,

why does he have such superb skills?

Why is this?

If I lose to him,

my confidence will surely shatter to pieces.

Even if it costs me my life, I must win against him.

Wataru suddenly challenged Takumi.

Wataru suddenly challenged Takumi.

The race is finally about to start.
