(Initial D Fifth Stage)

4
00:01:42,633 --> 00:01:45,533
Are you Mr. Takumi Fujiwara
of the "Project D"?

5
00:01:47,700 --> 00:01:49,800
You are simply hypocritical and terrible.

6
00:01:59,933 --> 00:02:02,433
FUJIWARA TOFU STORE

7
00:02:11,833 --> 00:02:14,467
What's up? Are you off today?

8
00:02:14,467 --> 00:02:16,733
I swapped shifts with someone.

9
00:02:16,733 --> 00:02:18,767
So you're taking a day off today?

10
00:02:18,767 --> 00:02:22,067
By the way, the Ibaraki
expedition is over, right?

11
00:02:22,067 --> 00:02:23,233
Did you lose?

12
00:02:23,233 --> 00:02:24,367
I won.

13
00:02:24,367 --> 00:02:27,867
Then why do you look so unhappy?

14
00:02:27,867 --> 00:02:30,133
It has nothing to do with the race.

15
00:02:33,933 --> 00:02:35,933
Who is calling?

16
00:02:36,567 --> 00:02:37,733
Hello.

17
00:02:39,667 --> 00:02:41,500
No, I...

18
00:02:41,500 --> 00:02:43,067
Yes, I can...

19
00:02:43,067 --> 00:02:44,633
Hold on a moment.

20
00:02:45,667 --> 00:02:48,633
What? Is it a woman?

21
00:02:50,967 --> 00:02:52,167
Hello.

22
00:02:52,500 --> 00:02:53,833
Well...

23
00:02:53,833 --> 00:02:55,933
I'm really sorry for calling you suddenly.

24
00:02:56,267 --> 00:03:01,267
Actually, I should have
apologized to you earlier.

25
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,467
No, it's fine...

26
00:03:04,467 --> 00:03:06,700
But how did you get my phone number?

27
00:03:07,433 --> 00:03:10,433
I found the number of
the gas station and called them.

28
00:03:10,433 --> 00:03:12,800
Their staff gave me your number.

29
00:03:13,300 --> 00:03:14,567
I see.

30
00:03:15,433 --> 00:03:18,800
I'm really sorry for
the harsh words I said to you.

31
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,067
You must be really mad at me.

32
00:03:21,067 --> 00:03:22,067
No...

33
00:03:22,633 --> 00:03:25,333
It's fine as long as you
know that wasn't me.

34
00:03:26,167 --> 00:03:27,467
Well...

35
00:03:27,467 --> 00:03:32,433
I know that I should not only call you,
I should apologize to you in person.

36
00:03:33,067 --> 00:03:36,733
But I just don't have time for that.

37
00:03:36,733 --> 00:03:38,433
That's why I waited so long...

38
00:03:38,433 --> 00:03:40,100
I'm really sorry.

39
00:03:40,100 --> 00:03:42,167
I will definitely find another time
to apologize to you in person.

40
00:03:43,500 --> 00:03:45,000
So... that's it.

41
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:46,733
Um...

42
00:03:47,233 --> 00:03:49,167
Maybe... I can come to you,

43
00:03:50,167 --> 00:03:54,233
No, I mean if that's okay for you.

44
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:58,967
I can drive to your place.

45
00:04:00,133 --> 00:04:03,133
W... what am I saying?

46
00:04:04,433 --> 00:04:05,633
Well...

47
00:04:05,633 --> 00:04:07,867
You can do that?

48
00:04:17,433 --> 00:04:21,167
(Episode 2: The New Battlefield)

49
00:04:31,633 --> 00:04:34,267
Thank you for making this trip.

50
00:04:41,167 --> 00:04:45,900
To be honest, when I heard from Tomoko
that you were not that guy,

51
00:04:46,467 --> 00:04:49,867
I was a bit relieved and even happy.

52
00:04:51,533 --> 00:04:56,067
From the moment I saw you, I knew
you were not the type to do such things.

53
00:04:56,067 --> 00:04:59,267
But still, you hit me quite hard.

54
00:04:59,267 --> 00:05:01,067
It's because I was angry.

55
00:05:01,067 --> 00:05:03,133
I am a person with a quick temper.

56
00:05:03,900 --> 00:05:06,633
I'm sorry, it must have hurt a lot.

57
00:05:06,633 --> 00:05:09,367
I have been training in the club,
so I have strong hands.

58
00:05:09,367 --> 00:05:11,033
What club are you in?

59
00:05:11,467 --> 00:05:12,933
Golf.

60
00:05:12,933 --> 00:05:15,300
I have been playing golf
since I was a kid.

61
00:05:15,300 --> 00:05:16,733
I see.

62
00:05:17,133 --> 00:05:19,700
I often have to participate in
competitions and go to training camps.

63
00:05:20,167 --> 00:05:23,033
Even my summer vacation is
filled with training courses.

64
00:05:23,933 --> 00:05:26,533
That's why I couldn't make it to Gunma.

65
00:05:27,033 --> 00:05:28,833
I'm really happy that you
could come to see me today.

66
00:05:29,900 --> 00:05:32,400
My dad made me learn playing golf,

67
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:34,033
whenever I slack off, he keeps nagging me.

68
00:05:35,333 --> 00:05:36,833
Eh?

69
00:05:36,833 --> 00:05:39,400
I feel that you're a bit like me.

70
00:05:40,033 --> 00:05:45,133
I was also forced by my dad to learn
driving when I was in middle school.

71
00:05:45,567 --> 00:05:48,533
I really hated driving at first,
and often argued with my dad about it.

72
00:05:48,533 --> 00:05:52,167
But before I knew it,
I actually started to like it.

73
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,033
I totally understand how you feel.

74
00:05:56,033 --> 00:05:59,233
I used to argue with my dad
a lot about golf too.

75
00:05:59,233 --> 00:06:03,367
But now, golf has become
a part of my life.

76
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:05,133
Our situations are a bit similar.

77
00:06:10,433 --> 00:06:13,700
What? You went to see
her in Saitama today?

78
00:06:14,100 --> 00:06:15,667
And... and then?

79
00:06:15,667 --> 00:06:17,233
Did you talk to her for long?

80
00:06:17,233 --> 00:06:21,633
No... I just had tea with her
at Familys for an hour.

81
00:06:22,033 --> 00:06:23,867
What's her name?

82
00:06:23,867 --> 00:06:25,100
How old is she?

83
00:06:25,100 --> 00:06:27,367
Her name is Uehara Mika.

84
00:06:27,367 --> 00:06:29,933
She is one year younger than us,
now a senior in high school.

85
00:06:30,367 --> 00:06:33,267
And? Does she have a boyfriend?

86
00:06:33,267 --> 00:06:34,467
Are you going to date her?

87
00:06:34,467 --> 00:06:35,467
What?

88
00:06:35,867 --> 00:06:38,367
AKINA CABIN
Why would I talk with her about that?

89
00:06:38,367 --> 00:06:39,667
AKINA CABIN
I'm not like you.

90
00:06:39,667 --> 00:06:42,433
AKINA CABIN
Really? That is very important.

91
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,433
Anyway, I didn't talk
to her for very long.

92
00:06:45,433 --> 00:06:47,500
We didn't really talk much.

93
00:06:47,867 --> 00:06:49,767
After all, we didn't have much time...

94
00:06:49,767 --> 00:06:51,033
Eh?

95
00:06:51,033 --> 00:06:52,733
I'm just telling you this.

96
00:06:53,533 --> 00:06:58,667
I think I fell for her
the first time I saw her.

97
00:07:00,267 --> 00:07:02,967
You actually said it. I'm so envious.

98
00:07:02,967 --> 00:07:05,967
I also find it strange.

99
00:07:05,967 --> 00:07:08,633
What should I do now? With this feeling...

100
00:07:09,167 --> 00:07:10,833
I really don't understand.

101
00:07:10,833 --> 00:07:13,067
What else can you do?

102
00:07:13,067 --> 00:07:17,933
If you like her, you have to
muster up the courage to take action.

103
00:07:17,933 --> 00:07:19,600
But...

104
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:25,967
This might just be one-sided from me.
She might not feel the same way.

105
00:07:25,967 --> 00:07:30,000
For a genius racer,
you're being too timid.

106
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,567
These are two different things.

107
00:07:33,233 --> 00:07:35,967
I just don't have confidence.

108
00:07:41,333 --> 00:07:44,333
For safety, we should
set up four defense lines

109
00:07:44,333 --> 00:07:46,533
to deal with the "Project D".

Let's see how good they are

117
00:08:11,967 --> 00:08:13,967
Let's form a team responsible
for gathering information

118
00:08:13,967 --> 00:08:17,367
and thoroughly analyze their strength.

119
00:08:17,367 --> 00:08:20,733
Leave this to us.

120
00:08:21,367 --> 00:08:25,267
Knowing yourself and
the enemy is key to victory.

121
00:08:25,900 --> 00:08:29,800
In this era, racing is about
information and data.

122
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:33,433
Do we really need to
make it such a big deal?

123
00:08:33,433 --> 00:08:40,633
They're not that good for the three best
teams in Kanagawa to secretly join forces.

124
00:08:40,633 --> 00:08:44,767
Anyway, as long as I step in,
they won't have a chance.

125
00:08:45,433 --> 00:08:48,000
Sorry, but you won't
get your turn by then.

126
00:08:48,700 --> 00:08:50,700
You are pretty confident.

127
00:08:50,700 --> 00:08:54,133
Alright, let's see.

128
00:08:58,533 --> 00:09:01,833
TEAM 246, CAPTAIN, SATOSHI OMIYA
Just had to make such a roundabout.

129
00:09:01,833 --> 00:09:03,967
TEAM 246, CAPTAIN, SATOSHI OMIYA
And they even made a strategy for this.

130
00:09:04,567 --> 00:09:08,267
TEAM 246, RACER, KOBAYAKAWA
This appearing order is irritating.

131
00:09:08,267 --> 00:09:08,733
TEAM 246, RACER, KOBAYAKAWA
So we're not to win the first round?

132
00:09:08,733 --> 00:09:12,267
Does this mean we are not
allowed to win the first round?

133
00:09:13,533 --> 00:09:16,033
So, are you going to lose on purpose?

134
00:09:16,033 --> 00:09:18,867
Just to give the teams behind
a chance to show off?

135
00:09:18,867 --> 00:09:21,267
Impossible.

136
00:09:21,267 --> 00:09:23,867
If we can take them down directly,
that would be the best.

137
00:09:24,467 --> 00:09:27,700
I don't like those "Sidewinder"
people very much.

138
00:09:28,067 --> 00:09:30,833
No one even asked them, they just
popped up and started barking orders.

139
00:09:31,433 --> 00:09:34,767
There's no need to be polite
to people like that.

140
00:09:35,333 --> 00:09:38,233
We will let them see
the strength of the "Team 246".

141
00:09:50,367 --> 00:09:54,667
Impressive. The shot is long and straight.

142
00:09:55,667 --> 00:09:57,833
Is something wrong with Mika?

143
00:10:06,067 --> 00:10:09,367
I wonder what Takumi is doing right now.

144
00:10:10,700 --> 00:10:13,467
Fujiwara, what are you daydreaming about?

145
00:10:14,233 --> 00:10:15,767
I'm sorry.

146
00:10:18,933 --> 00:10:20,767
Iketani, something big happened!

147
00:10:20,767 --> 00:10:22,367
Look at this.

148
00:10:22,967 --> 00:10:25,600
What is this, a golf magazine?

149
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:26,900
Here...

150
00:10:26,900 --> 00:10:28,300
Look here.

151
00:10:29,867 --> 00:10:31,933
Look at this girl.

152
00:10:31,933 --> 00:10:36,367
The rising star in women's golf,
Uehara Mika.

153
00:10:36,367 --> 00:10:38,433
She's only 17.

154
00:10:38,433 --> 00:10:41,267
Is she the one who slapped Takumi...

155
00:10:41,267 --> 00:10:43,100
It's got to be her.

156
00:10:43,100 --> 00:10:44,833
They look exactly the same.

157
00:10:44,833 --> 00:10:50,267
If I knew she was so famous, I should
have asked her for an autograph back then.

158
00:10:50,267 --> 00:10:54,533
The genius young girl in white
playing golf under the sun.

159
00:10:54,533 --> 00:10:57,800
And a genius street driver
on the mountain roads at night?

160
00:10:59,133 --> 00:11:03,733
The difference between
these two is too great, isn't it?

161
00:11:03,733 --> 00:11:06,800
Can this romance develop smoothly?

162
00:11:16,167 --> 00:11:18,567
This is checkpoint 3 on the downhill.

163
00:11:18,567 --> 00:11:20,700
The 86 has passed here already.

164
00:11:28,833 --> 00:11:32,733
The FD has passed
checkpoint 7 on the uphill.

165
00:11:41,033 --> 00:11:43,033
We haven't seen each other for years.

166
00:11:43,033 --> 00:11:46,800
It's been a long time, Ryosuke Takahashi.

167
00:11:55,267 --> 00:11:58,667
Ever since the horsepower of the FD
was increased, you seem to have it hard.

168
00:11:58,667 --> 00:11:59,933
Can't help it.

169
00:12:00,433 --> 00:12:03,033
Uphill racing is simply
a competition of horsepower.

170
00:12:03,033 --> 00:12:05,533
But something else has been troubling me.

171
00:12:06,667 --> 00:12:10,500
At several places along this mountain road,
there are people holding stopwatches.

172
00:12:10,900 --> 00:12:13,967
Are they... timing us?

173
00:12:13,967 --> 00:12:15,067
Probably.

174
00:12:15,667 --> 00:12:18,633
Though I figured it's
useless timing us now.

175
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:23,467
The car will be adjusted later, and we're
still not familiar with the routes.

176
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,667
Our time record in official
races will certainly be different.

177
00:12:26,667 --> 00:12:30,633
But timing at every section
still makes me uncomfortable.

178
00:12:32,067 --> 00:12:35,100
It's ready, Keisuke, you can go now.

179
00:12:35,100 --> 00:12:36,333
Okay.

180
00:12:47,300 --> 00:12:50,567
Fujiwara's condition is still pretty good.

181
00:12:51,533 --> 00:12:54,933
I feel that he's enjoying tackling
these difficult mountain roads.

182
00:12:55,433 --> 00:12:58,367
No matter how I look at it,
that car seems hard to control.

183
00:12:59,233 --> 00:13:01,367
Yet he says, "it's easy to handle".

184
00:13:01,367 --> 00:13:05,000
For us, this aspect of Fujiwara
is pretty alien.

185
00:13:06,867 --> 00:13:08,933
Ryosuke, are you sure about this?

186
00:13:08,933 --> 00:13:12,667
They might have arranged a group
of people to gather information on us,

187
00:13:12,667 --> 00:13:14,967
and had them scattered
across the mountain road.

188
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:18,767
The speed of the latter half
of the practice will increase.

189
00:13:19,300 --> 00:13:24,733
If they see us, wouldn't they be able
to accurately grasp our strength?

190
00:13:25,167 --> 00:13:26,233
Probably.

191
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:30,100
Should we disguise a little bit?

192
00:13:30,100 --> 00:13:33,033
No, we don't need these tricks.

193
00:13:33,033 --> 00:13:36,367
If they want information,
we'll give them all the data today.

194
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:39,467
Hiroshi, you don't need to worry.

195
00:13:39,967 --> 00:13:42,267
This is a decision I made
after thorough consideration.

196
00:13:42,833 --> 00:13:44,567
There's one thing I'm certain of.

197
00:13:45,233 --> 00:13:49,633
Those gathering information
are not our opponents this time.

198
00:13:50,467 --> 00:13:51,667
Is that so?

199
00:13:52,100 --> 00:13:53,600
Just think about it.

200
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:55,100
The race is tomorrow.

201
00:13:55,900 --> 00:13:59,433
TANZAWA OYAMA NATIONAL PARK
They don't have time to modify the car.

202
00:14:00,067 --> 00:14:02,033
Well... you're right.

203
00:14:02,033 --> 00:14:04,567
We'll probably meet these people later on.

204
00:14:04,967 --> 00:14:08,933
So it means we still have time.

205
00:14:09,633 --> 00:14:13,033
All we need to do now is concentrate
and face the opponent in front of us.

206
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:17,867
(Initial D Fifth Stage)

207
00:14:19,567 --> 00:14:20,867
(Initial D Fifth Stage)

208
00:14:22,567 --> 00:14:25,300
The first half features
a series of steep bends.

209
00:14:25,733 --> 00:14:28,167
The latter half has
a relatively gentle slope.

210
00:14:28,167 --> 00:14:30,933
No, that's just uphill.

211
00:14:30,933 --> 00:14:32,867
On downhill it's the other way around.

212
00:14:32,867 --> 00:14:34,200
Yes.

213
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:37,367
But whether it's uphill or downhill,

214
00:14:37,367 --> 00:14:42,967
the most distinct feature of this mountain
road is its sudden changes in width.

215
00:14:44,500 --> 00:14:46,167
Just like that.

216
00:14:46,167 --> 00:14:51,033
Many two-lane sections will
suddenly shrink to a single-lane.

217
00:14:53,333 --> 00:14:57,433
These may become
good spots for overtaking.

218
00:14:57,433 --> 00:14:59,033
Yeah.

219
00:14:59,033 --> 00:15:02,967
Although I remembered these spots already,

220
00:15:03,567 --> 00:15:07,633
the local drivers must be
more familiar with them than me.

221
00:15:07,633 --> 00:15:11,767
They won't give me a chance to overtake.

222
00:15:11,767 --> 00:15:15,300
You might even get a counterattack.

223
00:15:23,233 --> 00:15:26,167
Well, another LAN EVO.

224
00:15:26,767 --> 00:15:30,133
Why do all my opponents drive 4WD cars?

225
00:15:30,133 --> 00:15:31,633
I'm almost sick of it.

226
00:15:31,633 --> 00:15:35,333
How about you just call yourself
the "Akagi's LAN EVO Killer"?

227
00:15:35,333 --> 00:15:37,433
Stop joking with me.

228
00:15:37,433 --> 00:15:40,233
You're not the one racing,
so you can be so light-hearted.

229
00:15:41,267 --> 00:15:46,067
Honestly speaking, that's the last
opponent I want in a race.

230
00:15:46,867 --> 00:15:49,333
That kind of car is outrageously fast.

231
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:56,433
They said we could
choose to lead or chase.

232
00:15:56,433 --> 00:15:58,300
Kobayakawa, which one do you want?

233
00:15:58,767 --> 00:16:00,533
Either is fine for me.

234
00:16:01,333 --> 00:16:03,933
But I want to observe
the opponent carefully.

235
00:16:04,633 --> 00:16:08,033
I think I won't get pulled away
by a 2WD car so quickly.

236
00:16:08,900 --> 00:16:12,667
I'll observe him in the first round
and finish it in the second round.

237
00:16:12,667 --> 00:16:13,967
OK.

238
00:16:13,967 --> 00:16:15,200
So be it.

239
00:16:20,867 --> 00:16:21,967
I'm Kobayakawa.

240
00:16:22,467 --> 00:16:23,867
I'm Keisuke Takahashi.

241
00:16:39,167 --> 00:16:41,033
Since you're taking the lead this time,

242
00:16:41,567 --> 00:16:43,700
you don't need me to
tell you what to do, right?

243
00:16:44,267 --> 00:16:45,533
I know it.

244
00:16:46,033 --> 00:16:49,800
My work was half done as of yesterday.

245
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:53,000
Brother, you meant this, didn't you?

246
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:54,867
Exactly.

247
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:56,933
I'll leave it to you then.

248
00:17:00,367 --> 00:17:02,233
Counting down.

249
00:17:02,233 --> 00:17:03,333
Five.

250
00:17:03,333 --> 00:17:04,267
Four.

251
00:17:04,267 --> 00:17:05,367
Three.

252
00:17:05,367 --> 00:17:06,333
Two.

253
00:17:06,333 --> 00:17:07,433
One.

254
00:17:07,433 --> 00:17:08,733
GO.

255
00:17:24,833 --> 00:17:27,133
Let's predict it.

256
00:17:27,133 --> 00:17:29,467
What do you think the result will be?

257
00:17:30,567 --> 00:17:32,833
How do you want me to predict?

258
00:17:32,833 --> 00:17:35,367
It's hard to tell for now.

259
00:17:38,133 --> 00:17:41,333
That FD's horsepower isn't bad.
The shock absorbers also seem pretty good.

260
00:17:43,333 --> 00:17:49,067
But there'll be many bends
and the road conditions are terrible.

261
00:17:49,767 --> 00:17:52,267
Let's see how you will deal with it.

262
00:17:56,167 --> 00:17:58,667
I know the information is insufficient.

263
00:17:59,033 --> 00:18:01,900
That's why I called it a "prediction".

264
00:18:02,567 --> 00:18:07,367
If you had sufficient information,
you definitely wouldn't misjudge.

265
00:18:11,733 --> 00:18:13,367
The road starts to widen from here.

266
00:18:13,833 --> 00:18:15,767
Then it will narrow again further ahead.

267
00:18:16,467 --> 00:18:19,933
Let me give my opinion then.

268
00:18:20,967 --> 00:18:23,100
This is just my guess.

269
00:18:25,667 --> 00:18:27,933
Here is my answer.

270
00:18:29,833 --> 00:18:31,600
This guy is quite skilled.

271
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:36,367
I rarely see RWD cars
perform so well uphill.

272
00:18:37,033 --> 00:18:39,933
However, something doesn't feel right.

273
00:18:40,467 --> 00:18:43,167
It seems he relies too much
on the car's performance.

274
00:18:43,733 --> 00:18:46,167
I can't feel the burst
of his driving skills.

275
00:18:47,167 --> 00:18:50,033
The presence of the driver is too weak.

276
00:18:52,300 --> 00:18:54,867
It is fast, yes.

277
00:18:54,867 --> 00:18:57,633
But your driving is too boring,
Keisuke Takahashi.

278
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:04,367
Omiya, what do you think?

279
00:19:04,367 --> 00:19:05,933
Is Kobayakawa correct this time?

280
00:19:06,367 --> 00:19:10,267
I think it's right to choose
to chase in the first run.

281
00:19:10,267 --> 00:19:12,367
After all, the road here is very narrow.

282
00:19:12,833 --> 00:19:16,433
Even if the race drags on, it won't cause
any disadvantage to Kobayakawa.

283
00:19:17,167 --> 00:19:20,967
Who drives faster, and who drives slower.

284
00:19:21,233 --> 00:19:23,867
As long as it's clear in the first run,

285
00:19:23,867 --> 00:19:26,333
we can directly finish
the race in the second run.

286
00:19:37,267 --> 00:19:40,233
Omiya, are you planning the same?

287
00:19:40,767 --> 00:19:42,133
Not necessarily.

288
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:46,800
I will make the decision after
seeing the results of the uphill race.

289
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:48,367
The result of the uphill race?

290
00:19:48,367 --> 00:19:50,667
Kobayakawa certainly
has an absolute advantage.

291
00:19:50,667 --> 00:19:52,533
After all, the opponent is just an FD.

292
00:19:53,033 --> 00:19:56,633
I don't like the idea
of "absolute advantage".

293
00:19:56,633 --> 00:20:00,233
Because you never know
what will happen until the end.

294
00:20:02,333 --> 00:20:04,067
You are really amazing.

295
00:20:04,067 --> 00:20:08,033
You can minimize tire spin
even on such bad roads.

296
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:18,833
Being able to do this shows
that you have some skills.

297
00:20:18,833 --> 00:20:23,233
Your performance is indeed commendable.

298
00:20:25,467 --> 00:20:28,233
I fully understand now,

299
00:20:28,733 --> 00:20:33,067
as a driver, you are not
particularly outstanding.

300
00:20:39,367 --> 00:20:40,733
Lately,

301
00:20:41,333 --> 00:20:45,933
I often feel that there is a mystery
in your conversation with Keisuke.

302
00:20:46,533 --> 00:20:49,600
Even when I listen to your conversation,
I can't make sense of it.

303
00:20:50,133 --> 00:20:51,833
Even the suggestions
before the race started...

304
00:20:52,567 --> 00:20:56,100
HIT THE BRAKES!
"Keisuke finished half the work yesterday."

305
00:20:56,100 --> 00:20:58,067
HIT THE BRAKES!
What does this mean?

306
00:20:59,733 --> 00:21:01,467
It doesn't mean anything special.

307
00:21:01,467 --> 00:21:03,533
You don't have to overthink it.

308
00:21:04,300 --> 00:21:09,133
Keisuke and I live together, so we can
understand each other very well.

309
00:21:13,267 --> 00:21:15,167
Keisuke is leading this time.

310
00:21:15,167 --> 00:21:18,433
In principle, the key is to
"finish it as fast as possible".

311
00:21:19,967 --> 00:21:23,100
There are many bends in
the first half of this mountain road.

312
00:21:23,100 --> 00:21:27,033
In these sections,
it is necessary to reduce tire wear.

313
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:32,800
In high-speed sections, the performance
of the tires will be fully released.

314
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:34,733
Attacking the opponent at full speed.

315
00:21:35,333 --> 00:21:37,200
This is halfway.

316
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:40,033
There are not so many
bends in the second half.

317
00:21:40,033 --> 00:21:42,867
Where will you make your move?

318
00:21:43,367 --> 00:21:47,667
Very simple and clear.
Keisuke's favorite strategy.

319
00:21:47,667 --> 00:21:52,833
After all, with a LAN EVO as the opponent,
it won't benefit us to drag out the race.

320
00:21:53,900 --> 00:21:58,633
The key to this race is
where Keisuke will sprint.

321
00:22:00,567 --> 00:22:04,533
His work was half done as of yesterday.

322
00:22:04,533 --> 00:22:06,033
That's what it means.

323
00:22:09,433 --> 00:22:11,533
Where? Damn it.

324
00:22:11,533 --> 00:22:13,467
Where do you plan to make your move?

325
00:22:16,467 --> 00:22:18,700
I know what you're thinking.

326
00:22:18,700 --> 00:22:22,533
In terms of burst strength,
the EVO will not lose to any car.

327
00:22:22,533 --> 00:22:25,433
Next is concentration, I guess.

328
00:22:27,167 --> 00:22:29,833
Now it's a competition of concentration.

329
00:22:29,833 --> 00:22:33,033
A single small error,
and I will lose everything.

330
00:22:35,167 --> 00:22:37,400
The road starts to broaden from here.

331
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:38,867
It's probably around here.

332
00:22:39,367 --> 00:22:40,367
Right here?

333
00:22:40,867 --> 00:22:42,033
Are you going to do it?

334
00:22:42,867 --> 00:22:45,167
When it comes to EVO or IMPREZA drivers,

335
00:22:45,167 --> 00:22:48,267
what they are driving is
actually a kind of faith.

336
00:22:49,967 --> 00:22:52,967
They believe that these cars
developed specifically for rally races

337
00:22:52,967 --> 00:22:55,667
are definitely the strongest on the road.

338
00:22:59,333 --> 00:23:00,833
Are you going to start sprinting?

339
00:23:01,967 --> 00:23:05,533
No, not yet... not here.

340
00:23:05,533 --> 00:23:06,767
In the next section?

341
00:23:07,633 --> 00:23:09,833
Where exactly? Damn it.

342
00:23:11,333 --> 00:23:16,767
But rally racing was originally
a race in snow or mud.

343
00:23:17,067 --> 00:23:19,367
On a dry asphalt road,

344
00:23:19,367 --> 00:23:23,033
the 4WD is not really
an absolute advantage.

345
00:23:23,933 --> 00:23:25,933
So this is my answer.

346
00:23:27,267 --> 00:23:30,833
I think the race will end
in the first round.

347
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:37,033
This is an area where the road
gets narrow and visibility is poor.

348
00:23:37,033 --> 00:23:38,833
He can't possibly
accelerate and sprint here.

349
00:23:40,733 --> 00:23:44,967
The area just before the finish line, so it
should be the last two or three minutes.

350
00:23:45,433 --> 00:23:51,033
If the opponent can keep up with the maximum
speed when Keisuke is fully concentrated,

351
00:23:51,033 --> 00:23:53,433
then Keisuke will definitely lose.

352
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:56,800
The winner...

353
00:24:06,967 --> 00:24:08,433
Don't try to escape.

354
00:24:08,433 --> 00:24:10,767
EVO, let's go.

355
00:24:20,700 --> 00:24:23,567
I was too careless. He chose such a place.

356
00:24:24,967 --> 00:24:29,067
The road is an unfair racing field.

357
00:24:31,767 --> 00:24:36,467
No buffer zone, and the road
is bumpy and uneven.

358
00:24:36,467 --> 00:24:40,033
It's hard to define where the limit is.

359
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:43,567
If we talk about what kind of ability

360
00:24:43,567 --> 00:24:45,633
the road racing specialists should have,

361
00:24:46,300 --> 00:24:47,333
that would be courage,

362
00:24:47,333 --> 00:24:48,633
competitive spirit,

363
00:24:48,633 --> 00:24:49,933
experience,

364
00:24:49,933 --> 00:24:52,667
the madness only young people have.

365
00:24:55,667 --> 00:24:58,667
Come on, I must catch up with him.

366
00:24:58,667 --> 00:25:02,933
I have to catch up with him...

367
00:25:03,433 --> 00:25:06,733
And also, a certain special talent

368
00:25:06,733 --> 00:25:08,467
only the chosen ones possess.
