WEBVTT
00:01.120 --> 00:03.040
Oh, hell. My front's getting away from me.
00:03.830 --> 00:07.760
The downhill slope is too sleep.
Gotta stop it from going into a half-spin!
00:11.980 --> 00:14.410
And the 3 spins out!
00:16.180 --> 00:19.760
It's now facing the wrong way
as it slides off the road!
00:49.130 --> 00:50.920
MF Ghost
02:01.250 --> 02:01.850
m 0 0 l 100 0 100 100 0 100
02:01.250 --> 02:05.670
A Cruel Reality
02:11.630 --> 02:14.130
Every card from sixth down needs moving.
02:14.130 --> 02:16.630
Sakura-chan, Mami-chan, if you could.
02:16.630 --> 02:17.880
Right.
02:18.130 --> 02:19.840
Lots of action today.
02:20.270 --> 02:23.800
Having one cheek sticking out
a bit more is the cutest way, right?
02:24.520 --> 02:24.940
Katagiri Kanata
02:24.940 --> 02:25.230
Katagiri Kanata
02:25.230 --> 02:26.060
Katagiri Kanata
02:26.060 --> 02:28.270
Katagiri Kanata
02:26.870 --> 02:28.270
The 86, huh?
02:29.470 --> 02:32.440
He's at the top of the
second column all of a sudden.
02:33.220 --> 02:35.930
That's awesome, Katagiri Kanata.
02:43.720 --> 02:45.960
The 7 and the 6 are nose to tail.
02:45.960 --> 02:47.950
This might be my chance.
02:48.180 --> 02:51.580
The sandwich formation
I normally use with my brother...
02:51.580 --> 02:53.580
I can pull it off on my own.
02:56.040 --> 02:59.170
Damn. The 18's caught up to me.
03:03.640 --> 03:05.970
You're going too slow, Otani.
03:05.970 --> 03:09.770
I'm being made to look
a fool because of you.
03:09.770 --> 03:13.790
What do you want from me?
I have too much power for the conditions.
03:13.790 --> 03:15.920
If you think you can pass, go on and try!
03:17.860 --> 03:20.820
I can't warp past people like Kanata can,
03:20.820 --> 03:23.530
but I can hide in the spray.
03:24.490 --> 03:26.120
I'll feign to the outside, then...
03:26.500 --> 03:27.120
Inside!
03:30.440 --> 03:32.580
Oh, boy. Here she comes.
03:32.930 --> 03:36.040
She might look cute,
but she's got a wild side.
03:36.040 --> 03:40.440
I don't think so! There's no way
an Alfa's beating me in the corners!
03:48.510 --> 03:52.520
We might be matched on cornering,
but how about on traction?
03:53.110 --> 03:56.120
Don't screw with a carbon monocoque!
03:57.480 --> 04:01.420
That was incredible, Nozomi-chan!
What an overtake!
04:05.910 --> 04:09.410
Nozomi gained a place?
Are you freaking kidding me?
04:21.590 --> 04:25.510
At times like this, I really
appreciate having a clutch pedal.
04:25.790 --> 04:27.010
Nice, Kakeru!
04:27.010 --> 04:29.740
Great job on recovering from that spin.
04:29.740 --> 04:35.560
Oh, c'mon, Yamatani.
I don't need Nozomi knowing about that spin.
04:35.780 --> 04:39.770
He spun? Ha, what a loser.
04:40.560 --> 04:42.740
We're seeing movement
in the lower groups.
04:42.740 --> 04:45.860
Kitahara in the 18 has moved up a place.
04:48.120 --> 04:49.690
Wow.
04:49.690 --> 04:54.180
The driver in the 18 is
a girl around my age, right?
04:56.030 --> 04:58.130
And now, a question for Marie-chan.
04:58.920 --> 05:01.100
If you could go somewhere now,
where would you go?
05:01.100 --> 05:05.840
Well, I don't really like
to travel by myself.
05:05.840 --> 05:09.860
I think if I was with someone I loved,
it wouldn't matter where we went.
05:11.130 --> 05:15.560
I'd be as excited for fast food as
I would be going to an expensive restaurant.
05:16.140 --> 05:18.520
Although I don't have
anyone like that right now.
05:18.520 --> 05:19.780
But I'm looking!
05:20.830 --> 05:25.730
Oh, I see. She's one of those typical
low-maintenance girls, isn't she?
05:25.730 --> 05:29.530
The kind that's always the side piece
but never the main event.
05:35.750 --> 05:40.640
The top group crosses Kojiri Bridge
and enters Sector 2!
05:41.510 --> 05:44.400
And if my eyes don't deceive me,
it's raining even harder.
05:44.400 --> 05:47.050
We're seeing huge clouds of spray now.
05:47.300 --> 05:50.290
Gotta love having an unobstructed view.
05:50.290 --> 05:53.520
I don't have to worry about
driving through anyone else's spray.
05:53.520 --> 05:55.020
It's liberating.
06:21.550 --> 06:24.840
You seem restless, Akaba Kaito.
06:25.300 --> 06:28.970
But you won't be passing me.
Not when I have the edge on traction.
06:29.620 --> 06:32.840
When the MFG regulations
were first announced,
06:32.840 --> 06:35.540
I got the feeling they were
perfectly tailored to the 911.
06:35.890 --> 06:41.600
They don't handicap rear-engine setups
like they do mid-engine designs.
06:42.150 --> 06:45.570
Ryo Takahashi had forgotten all about...
06:45.570 --> 06:48.200
this rear-engined Porsche!
06:52.620 --> 06:56.030
And here comes the third-place group
across Kojiri Bridge!
06:56.640 --> 07:00.080
With the 3 out of the race,
it's now a group of five,
07:00.080 --> 07:03.730
but they remain bumper-to-bumper
in this intense dogfight!
07:04.380 --> 07:05.920
What's your take, Ikeda-san?
07:05.920 --> 07:11.130
I feel like the 1 car at the head of the train
isn't going quite as fast as it could.
07:11.130 --> 07:13.010
You're right on that.
07:13.260 --> 07:15.970
I'm not trying to make
excuses for Ishigami-kun,
07:15.970 --> 07:20.640
but leading a group of cars
is a difficult position to be in.
07:20.640 --> 07:26.110
Being the pacemaker on days like this when
the roads are slippery is a real challenge.
07:26.350 --> 07:31.050
But when you consider the gap that's
opening up to the two cars in the lead,
07:31.050 --> 07:36.370
I have to concede Ishigami-kun's restricting
his group to a relatively moderate pace.
07:36.740 --> 07:40.120
You're dragging your ass, old man Ishigami.
07:40.620 --> 07:45.580
I'm sure you already know why this
third-place group is so tightly packed.
07:46.080 --> 07:49.130
It's because as the leader of
the train, you're too damn slow.
07:54.090 --> 07:57.260
It's pretty obvious where your head's at, too.
07:57.790 --> 08:02.100
I bet you think having a rear-engined
model makes you special,
08:02.100 --> 08:04.680
but Ryo Takahashi
didn't miss a single detail.
08:05.490 --> 08:07.510
The history of rear-engined Porsches
08:07.510 --> 08:11.940
is filled with tweaks to overcome the
disadvantages of rear-wheel drive setups.
08:12.160 --> 08:17.040
Lengthening the wheel base, expanding
the treads, adding rear-axle steering...
08:17.040 --> 08:22.120
Plus, installing a ton of electrical systems.
As roadsters go, it's pretty mature.
08:22.500 --> 08:25.960
But how good is all that in competition?
08:26.300 --> 08:30.880
Especially in the wet, fundamental traits come
to the fore despite attempts at mitigation.
08:31.300 --> 08:35.490
You shouldn't underestimate Ryo Takahashi,
the "mind of a generation," as he's known.
08:36.170 --> 08:41.270
There's a good reason why rear-engine,
rear-wheel drive cars aren't handicapped.
08:42.880 --> 08:46.190
Akaba Kaito is piling on the pressure!
08:47.690 --> 08:51.430
Cars 1 and 2 are a hair's
breadth from contact!
08:55.140 --> 08:57.030
No, they're already trading paint.
08:57.420 --> 09:03.070
Akaba's being ruthless. That kind
of driving gets the other driver riled.
09:03.440 --> 09:07.250
It's like an electric shock
to a racing driver's dignity.
09:08.000 --> 09:11.560
That said, I haven't exactly been
thrilled with our pace, either.
09:11.950 --> 09:14.760
Not with the 86 biting at my heels.
09:25.810 --> 09:28.810
The 1 car has sped up as if
the challenge has been accepted.
09:28.810 --> 09:32.090
The Carrera GT3's really motoring now!
09:32.730 --> 09:36.950
You don't often see this with
someone as level-headed as Ishigami-kun.
09:36.950 --> 09:40.530
The tension is ratcheting up
between the 1 and the 2.
09:40.950 --> 09:43.040
We'll keep an eye on them for now.
09:59.550 --> 10:03.590
A series of blind corners awaits in the woods
near Lake Ashinoko's northern edge.
10:04.030 --> 10:08.690
Will the battle grow more intense
as it plunges into this perilous section?
10:08.920 --> 10:15.130
Two European brands with long, illustrious
histories in racing are going at it.
10:15.130 --> 10:19.240
Yes, it's Porsche vs. Ferrari
in a winner-takes-all dogfight!
10:19.240 --> 10:23.700
I don't even want to think about
how much these two cars cost.
10:32.320 --> 10:35.920
I took that too aggressively.
My speed isn't dropping.
10:35.920 --> 10:38.090
My front tires aren't gripping anymore?
10:38.760 --> 10:40.870
Don't panic. Just wait.
10:40.870 --> 10:43.850
If I panic and jump off the pedal,
I'll be done for in a second.
10:43.850 --> 10:47.270
I'll ease off gradually and
wait for the tires to bite again.
10:47.270 --> 10:50.740
Come on. I need my front tires to grip.
10:51.150 --> 10:52.520
Come back to me!
11:02.080 --> 11:02.410
MF Ghost
11:02.410 --> 11:02.620
MF Ghost
11:02.620 --> 11:02.830
MF Ghost
11:02.740 --> 11:04.170
MF Ghost.
11:02.830 --> 11:03.740
MF Ghost
11:03.490 --> 11:06.040
MF Ghost
11:07.080 --> 11:07.410
MF Ghost
11:07.410 --> 11:07.620
MF Ghost
11:07.620 --> 11:07.830
MF Ghost
11:07.830 --> 11:11.040
MF Ghost
11:08.530 --> 11:09.870
MF Ghost.
11:24.730 --> 11:27.150
The 1 car spins!
11:27.150 --> 11:30.120
The 2 car barely managed to slip by!
11:30.310 --> 11:33.940
He's come to a stop facing the wrong way!
11:33.940 --> 11:37.420
And the cars behind
pass by one after another.
11:39.490 --> 11:42.320
Control Center to the driver of Car 1.
11:42.320 --> 11:45.570
You are in a dangerous position.
Stay where you are.
11:45.570 --> 11:47.800
Don't move until we say so.
11:51.780 --> 11:53.580
A hovering drone?
11:53.990 --> 11:55.540
Something must've happened.
11:55.910 --> 11:58.690
Whoa. It was old man Ishigami?
11:59.630 --> 12:01.700
Car 1 to Control Center.
12:01.700 --> 12:04.720
I'm getting back in the race.
I need permission to do a U-turn.
12:04.720 --> 12:09.020
It's too dangerous. Stay put for now.
Cars are approaching.
12:09.020 --> 12:13.940
Shit. How far down are they gonna push me?
I was in third place, damn it.
12:17.900 --> 12:21.130
After tumbling down the field,
he's back in the race.
12:21.130 --> 12:24.410
The 1 has dropped to 12th.
12:24.410 --> 12:28.030
That looked like a pretty hard hit
against the concrete wall.
12:28.030 --> 12:30.410
Do you think his car is damaged, Ikeda-san?
12:30.410 --> 12:35.870
Looking at the footage, the angle
of the hit helped to soften the blow.
12:36.270 --> 12:40.610
The low mu of the road likely
also helped to minimize the damage.
12:41.210 --> 12:45.490
That just leaves the question of
if his suspension has been affected.
12:46.410 --> 12:48.130
Number Seven! Kyoko-chan!
12:48.130 --> 12:51.010
Lots of plates moving this time,
so please do it together.
12:51.010 --> 12:52.310
Right!
12:52.310 --> 12:53.480
Gotcha.
12:54.550 --> 12:58.310
The 86's plate is going to the bottom
of the leftmost column,
12:58.310 --> 13:00.900
so you're better off
removing the 1's plate first.
13:03.770 --> 13:05.360
Let's see...
13:05.990 --> 13:06.880
You got it.
13:08.550 --> 13:11.790
Fifth place? That's crazy, Kanata.
13:12.450 --> 13:13.960
What's happening out there?
13:26.220 --> 13:30.050
And now, a question for our two Angels
who have just finished up their duties.
13:30.450 --> 13:34.390
We'll start with Number Seven. If you could
go somewhere now, where would you go?
13:34.780 --> 13:41.010
Well, one place always comes to mind
when summer's approaching.
13:41.390 --> 13:45.360
It's a house in Niigata that belongs
to my grandma on my dad's side.
13:46.370 --> 13:48.870
The mountains and river are close by,
13:48.870 --> 13:54.120
and we went there every summer
vacation all through grade school.
13:54.120 --> 13:58.960
But my dad's gotten busier at work,
and it's been five years since we last went.
13:59.390 --> 14:01.360
I should go back every now and then.
14:01.360 --> 14:02.420
You should.
14:02.420 --> 14:05.490
Hey, don't make it easy for them
to figure out your age.
14:05.490 --> 14:10.280
There are rice paddies and
fields near her house, too.
14:10.280 --> 14:14.640
We'd eat watermelon and have
barbecues. It was so much fun.
14:14.640 --> 14:18.890
I was actually thinking about going there
on my own this summer vacation.
14:19.120 --> 14:23.030
What a lovely idea.
You could surprise your grandmother.
14:23.030 --> 14:23.770
Yup.
14:23.770 --> 14:26.360
I can picture her now...
14:27.100 --> 14:32.420
Wearing a straw hat and a white dress...
I bet she'd look great in sandals, too.
14:32.870 --> 14:36.140
The ideal image of
a Japanese summer vacation.
14:37.750 --> 14:40.880
I'm sure that pure-hearted answer
won't be easy to follow,
14:40.880 --> 14:42.920
but what about you, Big Sis Kyoko?
14:42.920 --> 14:44.170
Give it a rest.
14:44.920 --> 14:48.670
I'd love to go to a tropical beach
beside a beautiful ocean.
14:49.300 --> 14:54.750
I'd wear a sexy bikini and sip on
a tropical drink under a parasol,
14:54.750 --> 14:57.920
and just relax from morning
to night, doing nothing.
14:59.750 --> 15:06.470
I've had enough of Shonan's beaches,
where greasy men swarm around you like flies.
15:06.470 --> 15:08.320
You sound exhausted, Sis.
15:08.580 --> 15:10.550
Recent romantic troubles?
15:10.550 --> 15:16.530
That's pretty rude, y'know! A gal like me
is always the dumper, never the dumpee!
15:20.500 --> 15:24.500
The 2 picks up the pace in its new position
at the head of the third-place pack.
15:24.500 --> 15:27.520
Akaba Kaito is pushing on aggressively.
15:27.520 --> 15:28.960
Booth to Kaito.
15:28.960 --> 15:32.430
The gap to the top group
is too big. Don't overdo it.
15:32.430 --> 15:36.420
Listen to me. Getting aggressive in
these conditions poses too many risks.
15:36.420 --> 15:39.600
Just focus on managing the race
to ensure you finish in third.
15:39.910 --> 15:41.650
Kaito to booth.
15:41.650 --> 15:44.060
What the hell is the point of racing, then?
15:44.470 --> 15:48.530
With that eyesore in the 1 car
out of the way, I can finally see clearly.
15:49.430 --> 15:52.740
If you don't meet the challenge,
you'll never get a chance.
15:53.240 --> 15:57.700
We're done talking about this
until the checkered flag. Over.
15:57.700 --> 16:05.300
After Car 2 in third, there's a gap to the fight
developing for fourth between Cars 13 and 86.
16:06.800 --> 16:10.050
I didn't think we'd be facing off
again this high up the field.
16:10.730 --> 16:14.510
We've both made huge strides
since the opening race.
16:15.070 --> 16:20.630
The sight of your feats on that downhill
stretch is still etched into my mind.
16:20.630 --> 16:23.400
It's almost like I've got PTSD.
16:24.610 --> 16:27.580
Which makes this the perfect
chance to overcome it.
16:27.980 --> 16:30.230
I'm staying in front of you!
16:30.990 --> 16:34.610
The 86 is nipping at the heels
of the much higher-powered NSX.
16:34.610 --> 16:36.310
We saw it in qualifying,
16:36.310 --> 16:40.180
but Katagiri Kanata has a real knack
for acing this forested section.
16:40.580 --> 16:45.040
This section of the course has poor
visibility and a lot of blind corners.
16:45.040 --> 16:50.850
The horizontal Gs the driver is subjected to
also makes it easy to pick up too much speed.
16:50.850 --> 16:53.550
All of which makes it
hard to attack the track.
16:53.820 --> 16:56.310
What's remarkable about Katagiri-kun...
16:56.310 --> 17:00.510
is how he seems to have
memorized this complicated course.
17:00.730 --> 17:05.480
There's no other explanation for how
he can be so bold in such a tough section.
17:05.810 --> 17:10.400
Even veterans who've raced here numerous
times don't have it down as clearly.
17:14.650 --> 17:19.200
I'm a little hesitant to throw
a word like "genius" around,
17:19.420 --> 17:23.620
but I can tell that Katagiri-kun
has invested a ton of time and energy
17:23.620 --> 17:26.180
into his preparations for this race.
17:26.830 --> 17:30.130
Most sports have that in common,
17:30.480 --> 17:35.950
but true talent pokes its head out
from the seedbed of plain old effort.
17:37.300 --> 17:43.600
The camera picks up the lead pair of the 4 and
the 12 exiting Sector 2 and starting Sector 3.
17:44.240 --> 17:46.890
Oh, and it looks like
their duel has calmed down.
17:46.890 --> 17:51.020
I don't think so. We're looking at
a breathtaking bit of psychological warfare.
17:51.610 --> 17:59.040
I noticed Sawatari-kun was pushing hard
to lose the 12 after taking the lead.
17:59.040 --> 18:01.830
But his efforts haven't paid off.
18:01.830 --> 18:05.140
Beckenbauer's responding
to his tactics with an icy calm.
18:05.880 --> 18:10.930
If anything, how conservative Beckenbauer
is being in attacking him is a bit eerie.
18:11.310 --> 18:14.370
I can't imagine Sawatari-kun's
having an easy time of it.
18:19.770 --> 18:23.970
But man, what a relief. We'd really
be out of luck without this tent.
18:24.200 --> 18:26.830
I was in such a gloomy mood yesterday.
18:26.830 --> 18:31.350
I thought for sure we'd get soaked doing
our mini-show and manning the leaderboard.
18:31.620 --> 18:35.230
You know I never would've
stood for crap like that.
18:35.230 --> 18:39.440
Although there wasn't a tent
at the opening race, was there?
18:39.440 --> 18:42.540
Going forward, there should
be one at every race.
18:43.710 --> 18:49.720
Even then, summer's an onslaught of UV rays,
so don't forget to slather on the factor 50.
18:50.360 --> 18:53.130
You're keeping this job
a secret, right, Ren-chan?
18:54.040 --> 18:59.580
If you go to a pool or the beach with tan lines
from this costume, you'll be rumbled.
19:00.020 --> 19:03.980
Especially this winged choker we wear.
Kinda makes it obvious.
19:06.090 --> 19:09.590
Good point. I'd better be careful.
19:11.660 --> 19:13.210
Swimsuits, huh?
19:13.940 --> 19:17.000
I'm not confident enough
to wear one in front of Kanata.
19:17.430 --> 19:21.040
And I don't have the curves
to look good in a bikini.
19:21.710 --> 19:26.200
I bet someone from overseas like
Kanata would think I look like a kid.
19:53.020 --> 19:56.520
There seems to be no space
too small for the 86 to slip into!
19:56.740 --> 20:01.030
The speed it can carry is proving
to be Katagiri Kanata's secret weapon!
20:03.370 --> 20:06.900
But this is Sector 3,
where the fastest cars prevail!
20:06.900 --> 20:11.230
From the middle gears and up,
the Toyota 86 GT can't keep pace!
20:11.230 --> 20:14.240
The NSX is clearly a cut above!
20:17.450 --> 20:20.130
If there'd been another corner
after going side by side,
20:20.130 --> 20:23.010
he could've pinned the other guy in.
20:23.750 --> 20:28.740
Attacking on a high-speed stretch
like this is just reckless, Kanata.
20:29.140 --> 20:33.750
The 86 has managed to cling on
due to his speed in the corners,
20:33.750 --> 20:39.050
but he's now facing off against drivers who
have no intention of making it easy for him.
20:39.050 --> 20:43.070
That's a definite, considering
they're fighting over fourth place.
20:43.520 --> 20:49.080
I mentioned the rain had
minimized the 86's disadvantages...
20:49.480 --> 20:52.620
...but nothing can cancel out
its handicap completely.
20:53.290 --> 20:56.930
His current position could be
the ceiling for what he can achieve.
20:56.930 --> 20:58.650
I believe this is his limit.
20:59.780 --> 21:03.570
And when you can't compete
in Ashinoko GT's Sector 3,
21:03.570 --> 21:06.930
you can't really compete
in the rest of the race.
21:07.320 --> 21:10.870
It's a cruel reality the 86 has to face up to.
21:11.740 --> 21:15.600
I can't be the only one who wants...
21:15.910 --> 21:19.860
...to see Katagiri Kanata behind the wheel
of a more competitive vehicle.
21:19.860 --> 21:23.860
Believe me, nobody wants that more than me.
21:24.620 --> 21:27.490
Even if Kanata crosses
the line where he is now,
21:28.210 --> 21:32.480
half of the fifth-place prize of 20 million
yen would go to me. That's 10 million.
21:33.130 --> 21:38.500
That'd cover Dad's hospital bills
and pay off all the shop's debts.
21:39.320 --> 21:41.840
I can taste how badly I want that money,
21:42.200 --> 21:44.710
but there's something I need
to take care of first.
21:45.930 --> 21:48.100
I've made up my mind, Kanata.
21:49.140 --> 21:52.620
When this race is over,
I'm gonna make it happen.
23:31.610 --> 23:36.990
Next time, Turn 18:
The Devil of Ashinoko Skyline.
