1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,100
THIS IS A WORK OF FICTION.

2
00:00:02,100 --> 00:00:03,967
PLEASE DRIVE SAFE AND FOLLOW THE RULES.

3
00:00:09,833 --> 00:00:12,000
(Initial D Fifth Stage)

4
00:01:35,667 --> 00:01:41,367
I traveled all the way to Kanagawa...

5
00:01:41,967 --> 00:01:45,967
Half a month after my nemesis
Takumi Fujiwara journeyed to this place,

6
00:01:45,967 --> 00:01:49,233
I, Itsuki Takeuchi, have finally
set foot on the lands of Hakone.

7
00:01:50,233 --> 00:01:52,100
You came here for
a completely different reason.

8
00:01:52,100 --> 00:01:54,667
You're just a tourist.

9
00:01:54,667 --> 00:01:57,000
I heard from the auntie in the shop

10
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:01,300
that you can rarely see Mount Fuji
so clearly at this time of year.

11
00:02:02,667 --> 00:02:06,167
Is this a good sign?

12
00:02:06,167 --> 00:02:07,500
Of course.

13
00:02:07,500 --> 00:02:11,967
After all, today is the last battle
of the "Project D" in Kanagawa.

14
00:02:11,967 --> 00:02:15,067
In this way, Takumi is sure to win.

15
00:02:15,067 --> 00:02:17,767
If only things were that simple.

16
00:02:19,533 --> 00:02:22,267
Hey, I was wondering who it was.

17
00:02:22,267 --> 00:02:25,867
It's Nakazato and Shoji
of Myogi NightKids.

18
00:02:25,867 --> 00:02:28,467
I thought you guys would come too.

19
00:02:28,467 --> 00:02:29,833
After all, this is the last race.

20
00:02:29,833 --> 00:02:33,067
Did you come specially to watch the race?

21
00:02:33,067 --> 00:02:34,667
What is with that tone?

22
00:02:34,667 --> 00:02:36,100
It's really annoying.

23
00:02:36,667 --> 00:02:40,367
Takumi Fujiwara represents
more than just you guys.

24
00:02:40,900 --> 00:02:45,533
The "Project D" carries the hopes
of all the people in Gunma.

25
00:02:47,667 --> 00:02:50,367
It's also our last time

26
00:02:50,367 --> 00:02:52,400
looking at Mount Fuji
from this balcony like this.

27
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:55,733
I still find it a little hard to believe.

28
00:02:56,233 --> 00:02:59,033
It's hard to imagine that
I became a member of the "Project D".

29
00:02:59,467 --> 00:03:00,867
Yeah.

30
00:03:00,867 --> 00:03:02,867
You have to thank me.

31
00:03:03,333 --> 00:03:07,233
After all, I specifically went
to Akina to recruit you.

32
00:03:07,233 --> 00:03:09,133
Right.

33
00:03:09,133 --> 00:03:11,100
Stop grinning like an idiot.

34
00:03:12,133 --> 00:03:13,767
We absolutely can't lose.

35
00:03:15,533 --> 00:03:18,867
Your opponent hasn't shown up yet,

36
00:03:18,867 --> 00:03:20,933
but I can sense that
they are not easy to beat.

37
00:03:21,433 --> 00:03:23,700
It's my intuition as a racer.

38
00:03:24,067 --> 00:03:26,833
Your opponent might be like a ghost.

39
00:03:26,833 --> 00:03:28,300
You will probably have a tough fight.

40
00:03:28,300 --> 00:03:29,633
Really?

41
00:03:30,233 --> 00:03:31,333
But,

42
00:03:31,333 --> 00:03:33,033
I don't think you'll lose.

43
00:03:34,767 --> 00:03:38,433
Because you were as strong as a ghost too,
and now here you are before my eyes.

44
00:03:38,833 --> 00:03:41,333
You won't lose.

45
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:44,433
We must win.

46
00:03:44,900 --> 00:03:49,600
If they prioritize information,
we just need to be better than before.

47
00:03:53,267 --> 00:03:56,100
(Episode 12: Brothers)

48
00:03:58,933 --> 00:04:00,900
Today's weather is so good.

49
00:04:00,900 --> 00:04:05,033
Look, doesn't the surface
of Lake Ashi look like a mirror?

50
00:04:05,633 --> 00:04:08,133
I haven't seen you for so long.

51
00:04:08,133 --> 00:04:11,900
Let's have a great time tonight
with the hot springs and drinks.

52
00:04:11,900 --> 00:04:13,700
What are you saying?

53
00:04:13,700 --> 00:04:15,867
Tonight isn't the time
for that sort of thing.

54
00:04:15,867 --> 00:04:18,967
I know, I was just joking.

55
00:04:19,467 --> 00:04:24,133
I specially came from Karuizawa
to cheer for the adorable Takumi.

56
00:04:24,733 --> 00:04:28,267
I'm very looking forward to
what kind of good man he will become.

57
00:04:28,867 --> 00:04:31,767
By the way, how have you been
doing in professional racing recently?

58
00:04:32,133 --> 00:04:33,467
It's really hard.

59
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:38,367
I hate to admit it, but those racers
are so good that they leave me at a loss.

60
00:04:40,167 --> 00:04:45,867
Only after I switched to professional racing
did I realize how good the professionals are.

61
00:04:47,567 --> 00:04:50,733
So I can better understand how
unbelievable the results of the "Project D" are.

62
00:04:50,733 --> 00:04:52,100
Their skill is simply divine.

63
00:04:52,833 --> 00:04:55,767
They've beaten many professional racers.

64
00:04:55,767 --> 00:04:58,767
But the next race might not be so easy.

65
00:04:59,967 --> 00:05:03,667
There are professionals in charge
of coordination in "Sidewinder".

66
00:05:03,667 --> 00:05:05,467
Sayuki, you might not be aware.

67
00:05:05,467 --> 00:05:08,333
This race is attracting
a lot of attention in all respects.

68
00:05:09,133 --> 00:05:13,033
If they manage to win this time,
it'll be really big news.

69
00:05:14,700 --> 00:05:19,567
Then it won't just be a party
in this small circle of road racers.

70
00:05:23,633 --> 00:05:25,433
This battle is likely
going to be quite difficult.

71
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:27,067
Indeed.

72
00:05:27,567 --> 00:05:31,167
Eiji Kubo's experience
is quite interesting.

73
00:05:32,167 --> 00:05:37,067
He originally worked in the race car
division of a well-known car factory.

74
00:05:37,067 --> 00:05:40,933
A few years ago,
he opened his own car shop.

75
00:05:41,867 --> 00:05:44,933
While producing his own demo cars and
taking them to timed races at the track,

76
00:05:44,933 --> 00:05:46,833
he also developed aftermarket parts.

77
00:05:47,267 --> 00:05:50,900
The parts he developed are
high-performing and well-received.

78
00:05:51,267 --> 00:05:52,967
He's definitely an expert
at a professional level.

79
00:05:53,500 --> 00:05:56,367
And there's something very special about him,
he has participated in rally racing.

80
00:05:56,367 --> 00:06:00,133
He has even secured top three
in regional competitions.

81
00:06:00,133 --> 00:06:02,033
He is indeed a tough opponent.

82
00:06:02,033 --> 00:06:05,500
Besides the racetrack, he has a hand
in different domains as well.

83
00:06:05,500 --> 00:06:06,967
That's it.

84
00:06:07,433 --> 00:06:08,767
By the way, Hiroshi,

85
00:06:11,867 --> 00:06:13,767
what flavor is today's pasta?

86
00:06:16,867 --> 00:06:20,167
Please, I beg you.

87
00:06:20,167 --> 00:06:23,733
Mom, could you make a call
for me and decline this race?

88
00:06:24,567 --> 00:06:27,133
It's a bit late for you
to be saying this now.

89
00:06:27,133 --> 00:06:30,867
If you really don't want to go,
why don't you call Mr. Hojo yourself?

90
00:06:30,867 --> 00:06:33,767
I can't, he's terrifying.

91
00:06:33,767 --> 00:06:36,433
Don't say such childish things.

92
00:06:36,433 --> 00:06:39,000
Since you've made a promise,
you should take responsibility.

93
00:06:40,033 --> 00:06:44,167
I feel a lot of pressure,
and there are TV programs I want to watch.

94
00:06:44,167 --> 00:06:46,433
Are you... scared?

95
00:06:47,433 --> 00:06:49,567
I'm not scared.

96
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:51,700
I just think it's troublesome.

97
00:06:52,333 --> 00:06:55,467
I don't understand what's
so fun about racing with cars.

98
00:06:55,467 --> 00:06:57,900
What's the point in doing this?

99
00:06:58,767 --> 00:07:02,067
You should ask Mr. Hojo about it.

100
00:07:02,933 --> 00:07:05,467
Regardless of whether you'll race,

101
00:07:05,467 --> 00:07:09,700
you have a duty to meet
Mr. Hojo at the agreed time, Shin.

102
00:07:19,267 --> 00:07:21,200
These two brothers are always together.

103
00:07:21,767 --> 00:07:24,367
In my opinion, you two are disgusting.

104
00:07:24,367 --> 00:07:29,100
I will make you two realize that no matter
how good you get along, you can't beat me.

105
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:30,700
Mr. Hojo.

106
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:35,467
The final data analysis is complete.

107
00:07:36,233 --> 00:07:39,800
According to the first three races
in Kanagawa and their training data,

108
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:43,567
I have basically grasped
the combat power of their FD.

109
00:07:43,567 --> 00:07:46,433
I also revised the NSX settings
based on this data,

110
00:07:48,233 --> 00:07:51,633
so that it can fully exploit the advantages
of natural aspiration and mid-engine.

111
00:07:52,167 --> 00:07:54,433
Uphill races are all about traction.

112
00:07:54,967 --> 00:08:00,533
The key is how much horsepower can be delivered
via the tires during acceleration at the exit.

113
00:08:01,133 --> 00:08:03,933
If you can pull away
by 0.1 seconds in one section,

114
00:08:03,933 --> 00:08:07,033
you can create a one-second
gap over 10 sections.

115
00:08:08,333 --> 00:08:12,267
In the end, racing is just about physics.

116
00:08:13,133 --> 00:08:17,633
Of course, I don't think
I need to explain this.

117
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:20,133
Let me get straight to the point.

118
00:08:20,767 --> 00:08:24,933
Assuming that both racers have comparable skills
and are racing under the same conditions,

119
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:28,167
you will have a 15-second advantage.

120
00:08:29,267 --> 00:08:33,533
A 15-second lead along the whole
mountain road isn't a big advantage.

121
00:08:34,100 --> 00:08:39,500
Although we underestimated
the modification level of their FD,

122
00:08:40,833 --> 00:08:44,433
under the existing conditions,
I have made my utmost effort.

123
00:08:44,867 --> 00:08:47,467
Is 15 seconds enough?

124
00:08:47,967 --> 00:08:49,733
It's more than enough.

125
00:08:49,733 --> 00:08:51,833
Mr. Kubo, who do you think I am?

126
00:08:52,533 --> 00:08:56,833
How could I possibly lose
to those racing brats from Gunma?

127
00:09:02,867 --> 00:09:06,167
You must not underestimate
those racing brats from Gunma.

128
00:09:06,867 --> 00:09:08,833
Although you have a 15-second advantage,

129
00:09:08,833 --> 00:09:11,667
if you misuse it,
you'll be the unlucky one.

130
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:16,433
Amazing!

131
00:09:16,433 --> 00:09:19,300
This is just a free practice session,
yet it's already giving me goosebumps.

132
00:09:19,300 --> 00:09:23,033
Is Keisuke Takahashi going to
compete against such an opponent?

133
00:09:37,733 --> 00:09:39,367
Mr. Hojo, how do you feel?

134
00:09:40,067 --> 00:09:42,267
Good, I feel great.

135
00:09:42,267 --> 00:09:43,467
Mr. Kubo!

136
00:09:44,133 --> 00:09:47,133
What? Inui hasn't shown up yet?

137
00:09:47,133 --> 00:09:51,033
I called his mother, and she
said Inui left home long ago.

138
00:09:51,533 --> 00:09:54,667
So he is not refusing to go
to school now, but refusing to race?

139
00:09:55,133 --> 00:09:56,367
What should we do?

140
00:09:56,367 --> 00:09:59,767
Should we find a substitute
downhill racer just in case?

141
00:09:59,767 --> 00:10:01,133
Let's do that.

142
00:10:01,133 --> 00:10:03,367
But it's just a contingency plan,

143
00:10:03,367 --> 00:10:05,433
we must wait for him
until the last second.

144
00:10:06,067 --> 00:10:08,567
He actually pulled this on me
at such a crucial moment.

145
00:10:08,567 --> 00:10:10,000
This worrisome brat.

146
00:10:10,500 --> 00:10:13,333
I guess he's probably somewhere
battling with himself on his own.

147
00:10:13,733 --> 00:10:17,000
He should make up his mind and
show up before the downhill race.

148
00:10:17,733 --> 00:10:19,167
I hope so.

149
00:10:28,967 --> 00:10:32,333
I thought you wouldn't appear
on the Hakone mountain road again.

150
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,333
The "Grim Reaper GT-R" is no more,

151
00:10:35,333 --> 00:10:36,700
but I am still alive.

152
00:10:37,333 --> 00:10:39,867
I will go where I want to go.

153
00:10:41,667 --> 00:10:44,267
It's been a long time since
I've talked to you like this.

154
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:46,667
I'm really sorry.

155
00:10:47,767 --> 00:10:51,933
I've caused trouble for you and Dad.

156
00:10:52,967 --> 00:10:54,467
Brother...

157
00:10:54,467 --> 00:10:56,033
What are you here for?

158
00:10:57,133 --> 00:10:59,367
I'm here to watch your race.

159
00:11:00,067 --> 00:11:01,333
Isn't it allowed?

160
00:11:02,333 --> 00:11:05,567
I didn't plan to advise you like before.

161
00:11:05,567 --> 00:11:08,333
You already have an excellent strategist.

162
00:11:09,100 --> 00:11:11,333
But, I have a word for you.

163
00:11:12,867 --> 00:11:14,633
Ryosuke Takahashi is unfathomable.

164
00:11:16,367 --> 00:11:17,967
You're very fortunate.

165
00:11:17,967 --> 00:11:21,733
For those who love cars and mountain roads,
there is no better stage than this race.

166
00:11:22,833 --> 00:11:24,633
Show your best performance.

167
00:11:25,067 --> 00:11:27,867
Apply all the skills
you've learned so far.

168
00:11:28,567 --> 00:11:30,233
And enjoy the race.

169
00:11:30,700 --> 00:11:33,033
This time, I will watch till the end.

170
00:11:54,033 --> 00:11:56,367
The race is about to start.

171
00:11:58,667 --> 00:12:02,033
This uphill race is worth watching.

172
00:12:02,033 --> 00:12:05,033
What did you just say to your brother?

173
00:12:05,033 --> 00:12:06,733
Did you give him any advice?

174
00:12:07,633 --> 00:12:09,567
I didn't give him advice.

175
00:12:11,300 --> 00:12:14,367
I just relieved some of his burden.

176
00:12:14,900 --> 00:12:19,133
Racing with negative emotions
won't make a good performance.

177
00:12:20,067 --> 00:12:24,700
In that state, it's impossible for him
to win over Ryosuke's brother.

178
00:12:24,700 --> 00:12:25,933
I see.

179
00:12:25,933 --> 00:12:30,400
In my theory, it's also necessary
to eliminate all negative emotions.

180
00:12:31,067 --> 00:12:34,433
Anger, jealousy, hatred, vanity.

181
00:12:34,433 --> 00:12:36,333
And sadness.

182
00:12:36,333 --> 00:12:40,333
These negative emotions will not
bring any positive impact to the racer.

183
00:12:41,067 --> 00:12:44,333
Do you know why
the " Project D" is so strong?

184
00:12:45,567 --> 00:12:48,667
Because they always enjoy it.

185
00:12:49,133 --> 00:12:53,567
They fought all the way here because
they love cars and mountain roads.

186
00:12:53,567 --> 00:12:57,567
No matter what difficulties
they encounter, they enjoy them.

187
00:12:58,467 --> 00:13:02,433
And the Kanagawa racers against them
don't have this mentality.

188
00:13:04,133 --> 00:13:06,267
Honor and dignity stand in your way.

189
00:13:06,967 --> 00:13:10,533
The idea that you can't lose
is always torturing you.

190
00:13:11,367 --> 00:13:13,267
Just enjoy the race.

191
00:13:14,167 --> 00:13:16,033
It has nothing to do with the results.

192
00:13:16,033 --> 00:13:18,067
The point is whether
you can enjoy it or not,

193
00:13:18,967 --> 00:13:22,233
especially on the last day of this party.

194
00:13:35,833 --> 00:13:37,133
(Initial D Fifth Stage)

195
00:13:38,867 --> 00:13:40,133
(Initial D Fifth Stage)

196
00:13:41,367 --> 00:13:43,367
Five seconds to go.

197
00:13:43,367 --> 00:13:44,433
Four.

198
00:13:44,433 --> 00:13:45,567
Three.

199
00:13:45,567 --> 00:13:46,633
Two.

200
00:13:46,633 --> 00:13:47,533
One.

201
00:13:47,533 --> 00:13:48,567
GO!

202
00:14:08,867 --> 00:14:10,533
They're coming...

203
00:14:16,433 --> 00:14:17,733
Awesome!

204
00:14:17,733 --> 00:14:20,200
The atmosphere is completely
different from the practice.

205
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:22,900
The car body is wide and low,
it's basically a supercar.

206
00:14:22,900 --> 00:14:24,967
I feel terrified just by
watching from the side.

207
00:14:25,367 --> 00:14:27,367
The opponent is leading first.

208
00:14:27,367 --> 00:14:31,333
If the race drags out,
it will be disadvantageous for FD.

209
00:14:34,167 --> 00:14:35,667
Something is off.

210
00:14:36,033 --> 00:14:38,100
Why do I feel he lost his focus?

211
00:14:38,667 --> 00:14:40,333
What is he thinking?

212
00:14:40,833 --> 00:14:42,800
I can see from the back
that he's at a loss.

213
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:49,867
Brother, why did you
say those things to me?

214
00:14:50,467 --> 00:14:53,933
You should understand my current stance.

215
00:14:53,933 --> 00:14:56,833
Everything I've done
so far is for victory.

216
00:14:57,767 --> 00:15:00,233
My resolve won't lose to anyone.

217
00:15:01,367 --> 00:15:03,667
Do you think I can't do it?

218
00:15:04,867 --> 00:15:06,633
I definitely will not lose.

219
00:15:07,233 --> 00:15:09,667
Brother, what exactly are
you trying to say to me...

220
00:15:15,133 --> 00:15:18,067
Won't that confuse him even more?

221
00:15:18,767 --> 00:15:21,867
Can Go understand your intentions?

222
00:15:22,500 --> 00:15:27,233
Regardless of their resolve,
I don't think the "Sidewinder" will lose.

223
00:15:27,700 --> 00:15:31,667
After all, they spent adequate time
preparing for the race.

224
00:15:31,667 --> 00:15:34,633
Plus, they have the strategist, Eiji Kubo.

225
00:15:35,033 --> 00:15:36,167
Kubo...

226
00:15:36,700 --> 00:15:38,867
That big-bellied old man isn't much help.

227
00:15:38,867 --> 00:15:41,800
His thinking is too narrow.
He lacks the aesthetics of Ryosuke.

228
00:15:42,267 --> 00:15:43,833
I see.

229
00:15:43,833 --> 00:15:47,033
This is the Rin Hojo I knew.

230
00:15:47,633 --> 00:15:50,367
Although my brother may
be confused momentarily,

231
00:15:50,367 --> 00:15:51,867
he will definitely understand my meaning.

232
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:54,667
To recall truly important things,

233
00:15:56,033 --> 00:15:59,467
one must first clear the mind.

234
00:16:06,933 --> 00:16:08,200
Omiya,

235
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:11,433
what kind of driver
is Hojo of "Sidewinder"?

236
00:16:11,933 --> 00:16:13,733
Although I know his brother Rin Hojo,

237
00:16:13,733 --> 00:16:17,533
I've never actually competed
against Go Hojo on the track.

238
00:16:17,533 --> 00:16:19,300
Because there's a large
age difference between us.

239
00:16:19,767 --> 00:16:24,033
At the track day session at Fuji Speedway,
the Hojo brothers were well known.

240
00:16:24,633 --> 00:16:26,867
I remember Rin Hojo always
demonstrating racing routes,

241
00:16:26,867 --> 00:16:30,033
while racing on the track
with his younger brother.

242
00:16:30,833 --> 00:16:33,033
They have a deep bond.

243
00:16:33,033 --> 00:16:35,267
Both of them are incredibly fast.

244
00:16:35,267 --> 00:16:38,867
They are quite similar to those two.

245
00:16:38,867 --> 00:16:41,067
The Takahashi brothers from "Project D".

246
00:16:41,067 --> 00:16:44,900
The theory-oriented older brother
and the emotional younger brother.

247
00:16:45,433 --> 00:16:47,367
Maybe they are quite similar.

248
00:16:47,367 --> 00:16:49,700
Especially the younger brothers
on both sides.

249
00:16:50,700 --> 00:16:54,033
They both drive cars that are
incredibly difficult to control.

250
00:16:54,033 --> 00:16:56,333
Their victories are decided
by their speed around the corner.

251
00:16:56,833 --> 00:16:59,900
Both are known for their
concentration and explosiveness.

252
00:17:01,167 --> 00:17:03,800
These two will definitely resort
to sprinting to decide the victory.

253
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:07,400
The leading car will certainly seize
an opportunity to speed up and sprint.

254
00:17:27,167 --> 00:17:29,867
They have just passed
the hairpin turn no.2.

255
00:17:29,867 --> 00:17:31,533
The hairpin turn no.2?

256
00:17:31,967 --> 00:17:35,233
The section 2 from here
has a relatively gentle slope.

257
00:17:35,233 --> 00:17:38,400
It's also a medium-speed section
with shorter cornering times.

258
00:17:39,033 --> 00:17:43,167
The section 4 between two hairpin turns
is also quite similar to this place.

259
00:17:43,733 --> 00:17:47,867
The section 2 and 4 are the routes
where the NSX excels the most.

260
00:17:48,567 --> 00:17:52,967
Just by timing these two sections, you can see
it has an advantage compared to others.

261
00:17:53,900 --> 00:17:59,233
Thanks to the excellent braking performance
and the sensitive throttle response.

262
00:17:59,767 --> 00:18:02,300
If a victory has to be decided,
it has to start in this section 2.

263
00:18:02,300 --> 00:18:05,533
As long as the speed is increased here
and the FD loses its calmness,

264
00:18:05,533 --> 00:18:08,767
the opponent will tire out their tires
trying to catch up to the car ahead.

265
00:18:09,233 --> 00:18:12,867
After all, compared to turbo cars,
naturally aspirated cars are less harsh on tires.

266
00:18:14,067 --> 00:18:17,333
Just keep sprinting to section 4,

267
00:18:17,333 --> 00:18:21,833
the RWD FD with a turbo engine
probably won't last long.

268
00:18:22,767 --> 00:18:27,400
Since Mr. Hojo chose to lead in the first round,
this must be his strategy.

269
00:18:28,067 --> 00:18:30,467
The situation will start to change here.

270
00:18:34,133 --> 00:18:36,133
I don't understand what you mean, brother.

271
00:18:36,633 --> 00:18:40,733
Racing just for fun was a long time ago.

272
00:18:40,733 --> 00:18:43,233
Is there something wrong with him?

273
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:47,667
I can't dwell on this anymore.

274
00:18:47,667 --> 00:18:51,533
All I have to do is reach my usual speed,

275
00:18:51,533 --> 00:18:53,033
with this car.

276
00:18:58,833 --> 00:19:01,033
His racing routes have become sharper.

277
00:19:01,433 --> 00:19:03,433
I have a bad feeling.

278
00:19:03,967 --> 00:19:07,500
I made no mistakes yet,
but the gap between us is growing.

279
00:19:07,967 --> 00:19:10,033
Just as my brother predicted.

280
00:19:11,233 --> 00:19:14,367
This feeling...
is somewhat similar to that guy.

281
00:19:15,700 --> 00:19:19,267
If I wasn't prepared,
I'd be all over the place.

282
00:19:20,267 --> 00:19:23,633
The real decisive point is not here.

283
00:19:28,533 --> 00:19:33,033
The speed sensation
of the NSX should confuse him.

284
00:19:33,700 --> 00:19:39,467
After all, uphill battles are
usually for turbocharged cars.

285
00:19:39,933 --> 00:19:44,933
Among domestic sports cars,
only the NSX is an exception.

286
00:19:45,533 --> 00:19:49,133
The natural aspiration engine
was built without cost concerns,

287
00:19:49,133 --> 00:19:52,167
mounted at the center of the frame.

288
00:19:52,167 --> 00:19:55,567
Track speed performance is even more
nimble than that of a turbocharged car.

289
00:19:56,133 --> 00:19:59,633
The cornering speed from
the mid-engine system,

290
00:19:59,633 --> 00:20:03,533
combined with the linear output
characteristics of natural aspiration engine.

291
00:20:04,567 --> 00:20:06,300
The moment when
stepping on the accelerator,

292
00:20:06,300 --> 00:20:09,400
the intense acceleration of the natural
aspiration engine is like a shove in the back.

293
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:12,033
On a narrow road with so many turns,

294
00:20:12,033 --> 00:20:14,333
it should have more advantages
than on a racetrack.

295
00:20:15,267 --> 00:20:18,033
However, Keisuke won't
be flustered by this.

296
00:20:18,700 --> 00:20:24,533
Because there's a driver who has created
a unique "realm" with a natural aspiration engine.

297
00:20:25,867 --> 00:20:27,333
Are you referring to Fujiwara?

298
00:20:27,967 --> 00:20:30,267
In my opinion, the style of
the NSX that Go Hojo is driving

299
00:20:30,267 --> 00:20:34,933
is similar to the "Fujiwara Zone".

300
00:20:34,933 --> 00:20:38,733
But this time
it's not downhill, but uphill.

301
00:20:39,967 --> 00:20:41,867
He is indeed a tough opponent.

302
00:20:42,533 --> 00:20:44,267
You're not wrong about that.

303
00:20:45,033 --> 00:20:49,233
But I've known for a long time
that the opponent's car is an NSX.

304
00:20:49,567 --> 00:20:53,767
Keisuke and I didn't come
to this race unprepared.

305
00:20:54,433 --> 00:20:56,833
We have our own trump card.

306
00:20:57,867 --> 00:20:58,967
Keisuke,

307
00:20:59,567 --> 00:21:03,467
you have to use everything
you've learned to fight him.

308
00:21:25,833 --> 00:21:27,000
I don't understand...

309
00:21:27,433 --> 00:21:31,433
What brought these people here?
What are they expecting?

310
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:34,500
Even that kind of girl came.

311
00:21:35,667 --> 00:21:37,833
Even those who don't
fit in here have come.

312
00:21:43,633 --> 00:21:45,500
What should I do?

313
00:21:45,967 --> 00:21:48,333
I can't just shamelessly say
I want to participate, can I?

314
00:21:48,867 --> 00:21:51,400
It's long past our agreed time.

315
00:21:51,967 --> 00:21:54,300
BUS STOP, DOHI SUGIYAMA IWAO CAVE
But I can't just go home either.

316
00:21:54,300 --> 00:21:57,167
BUS STOP, DOHI SUGIYAMA IWAO CAVE
Mom will definitely be angrier than Mr. Hojo.

317
00:21:59,233 --> 00:22:01,467
Why am I always like this?

318
00:22:02,433 --> 00:22:06,400
I always run away at crucial times
and disappoint my mom.

319
00:22:08,267 --> 00:22:09,233
But...

320
00:22:09,700 --> 00:22:11,733
The most disappointed person...

321
00:22:14,667 --> 00:22:16,133
Hey, young man.

322
00:22:16,133 --> 00:22:18,933
You look a bit off, are you okay?

323
00:22:19,367 --> 00:22:21,267
No... I'm fine.

324
00:22:21,267 --> 00:22:22,633
I'm fine

325
00:22:22,633 --> 00:22:23,900
Really?

326
00:22:23,900 --> 00:22:26,767
Weren't you just sighing
with your head down?

327
00:22:27,567 --> 00:22:30,567
You look like a high school student.

328
00:22:30,567 --> 00:22:32,100
You like cars, don't you?

329
00:22:32,633 --> 00:22:34,433
That's why you came
to watch the race, right?

330
00:22:35,133 --> 00:22:38,167
No... I wouldn't say I like them.

331
00:22:38,167 --> 00:22:40,167
I... just no.

332
00:22:40,167 --> 00:22:42,200
No?

333
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:43,467
No problem.

334
00:22:44,433 --> 00:22:47,900
My name is Sayuki,
and this sexy lady is called Mako.

335
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:49,467
And you?

336
00:22:49,967 --> 00:22:51,467
My name is Shinji.

337
00:22:51,467 --> 00:22:52,900
Shinji Inui.

338
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:08,067
They just passed hairpin turn no.3.

339
00:23:08,700 --> 00:23:10,367
The section time is also out.

340
00:23:10,367 --> 00:23:12,000
They've increased their speed.

341
00:23:12,633 --> 00:23:14,633
So far, everything is going
according to my plan.

342
00:23:15,367 --> 00:23:16,833
That's good.

343
00:23:17,833 --> 00:23:20,200
Shinji, do you live nearby?

344
00:23:20,633 --> 00:23:21,667
Yes, I do.

345
00:23:21,667 --> 00:23:24,467
We came all the way from Gunma Prefecture.

346
00:23:24,467 --> 00:23:25,867
Pretty awesome, right?

347
00:23:25,867 --> 00:23:26,833
Yes...

348
00:23:27,300 --> 00:23:30,900
But why would you guys
travel all this way from there?

349
00:23:30,900 --> 00:23:34,400
Well... that's because...
we used to be street racers.

350
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:36,633
Those were pretty fun times.

351
00:23:36,633 --> 00:23:38,233
Right, Mako?

352
00:23:38,233 --> 00:23:39,700
Yeah.

353
00:23:39,700 --> 00:23:41,967
My heart races just watching people race.

354
00:23:41,967 --> 00:23:45,133
But it's even more fun when
I get to take the wheel myself.

355
00:23:46,033 --> 00:23:47,300
Fun...

356
00:23:48,700 --> 00:23:49,967
Here they come.

357
00:24:02,667 --> 00:24:04,167
What's happening?

358
00:24:04,167 --> 00:24:05,867
Why is everyone so excited?

359
00:24:06,467 --> 00:24:07,833
Mako, what do you think?

360
00:24:07,833 --> 00:24:11,067
I can't say for sure, but its traction
force is quite astonishing.

361
00:24:11,067 --> 00:24:12,467
That NSX...

362
00:24:13,033 --> 00:24:16,167
The exit of this turn has a steep slope.

363
00:24:16,167 --> 00:24:19,033
But he still accelerates
without any hesitation.

364
00:24:19,733 --> 00:24:23,000
FD is indeed in a tough battle. Its speed
is a bit slower than the car in front.

365
00:24:25,500 --> 00:24:29,067
Mr. Hojo's red car
doesn't look happy at all.

366
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:31,300
But...

367
00:24:31,300 --> 00:24:32,933
That yellow car...

368
00:24:32,933 --> 00:24:34,167
It's laughing.

369
00:24:39,367 --> 00:24:41,000
They have passed through
the hairpin turn of the observation deck.

370
00:24:41,333 --> 00:24:43,233
Now they are entering section 4.

371
00:24:43,733 --> 00:24:45,233
The crucial part starts from here...

372
00:24:50,133 --> 00:24:51,567
Is it starting now?

373
00:24:52,167 --> 00:24:54,567
Next, I don't have to worry
about my tires anymore.

374
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:56,533
Please, FD.

375
00:24:56,533 --> 00:24:58,100
You have to hold on.
