WEBVTT 00:22.170 --> 00:24.190 He's closing in! 00:24.190 --> 00:26.050 Akaba in the 2 is gaining! 00:26.050 --> 00:28.860 Only 1.96 seconds separates them! 00:31.320 --> 00:33.150 Don't give up, 86! 00:33.150 --> 00:34.820 Show him what you're made of! 00:35.150 --> 00:37.680 Here in the climactic final stages... 00:39.890 --> 00:43.810 we're witnessing one of the most exciting grandstand finishes in MFG history! 01:05.150 --> 01:06.940 MF Ghost 02:16.340 --> 02:16.940 m 0 0 l 100 0 100 100 0 100 02:16.340 --> 02:20.760 The Conclusion 02:18.340 --> 02:20.840 On the Relay Straight, the battle for sixth rages on! 02:20.840 --> 02:24.620 Aiba in the 9 is out for blood chasing Sakamoto in the 5! 02:25.010 --> 02:27.430 And from out of the slipstream... 02:27.810 --> 02:29.230 he makes his move! 02:29.230 --> 02:33.310 Get real. You're up against a mid-engine car with four-wheel drive, idiot. 02:33.540 --> 02:37.190 There's no way in hell a Nissan can outdrag me to top speed. 02:37.190 --> 02:39.040 I'll slaughter you! 02:39.380 --> 02:43.870 The 5 is about half a nose in front! But the 9 isn't backing down! 02:44.230 --> 02:46.040 Neither man is giving an inch! 02:46.290 --> 02:48.610 And they're almost at the braking point! 02:49.250 --> 02:51.690 They go into the corner together! 02:52.600 --> 02:56.340 The 9's gone in too fast and it's understeering wide! 02:56.970 --> 02:58.240 Watch out! 02:59.840 --> 03:04.010 This is exactly what pisses me off about you. 03:04.290 --> 03:08.390 You get hot under the collar and don't think twice about crossing the line. 03:08.630 --> 03:15.190 Who wants to race against some idiot who's too stupid to know what fear is? 03:15.190 --> 03:19.730 They're side by side on the narrow Route 1! 03:19.730 --> 03:23.490 How will this thrilling battle end? 03:39.060 --> 03:41.510 Now, the feed takes us to an equally intense battle. 03:41.940 --> 03:44.060 All eyes are on the fight for third. 03:44.990 --> 03:46.180 The 2 car... 03:46.680 --> 03:49.120 has caught the 86! 03:49.120 --> 03:55.100 It still won't be easy to get in front. Not with how quick the 86 is in the corners. 03:55.310 --> 03:58.400 He's slick. Masterful, even. 03:58.620 --> 04:03.400 It's not obvious blocking, but he positions his car in a way that stops me from darting past. 04:03.400 --> 04:06.620 This kid must have plenty of racing experience. 04:06.620 --> 04:09.410 But I'm not looking to duel into the corners. 04:12.040 --> 04:14.080 And now, we shift to our leaders! 04:14.310 --> 04:16.580 It's the 12 versus the 4! 04:16.800 --> 04:20.210 I was so close to getting the better of this guy. 04:20.500 --> 04:22.010 But that's racing for you. 04:22.340 --> 04:25.640 It might seem small, but there's a massive difference between first and second. 04:26.300 --> 04:27.720 This sucks. 04:28.140 --> 04:34.770 This is my third year in MFG, but this is the first time I've felt so damn frustrated. 04:34.770 --> 04:37.520 They round the final corner. 04:37.740 --> 04:42.990 As they approach Hakone Pass, it's a straight shot down Route 1 to the end of the final lap! 04:42.990 --> 04:44.700 And there it is. 04:45.660 --> 04:48.120 The checkered flag! 04:48.480 --> 04:50.960 Our winner is Michael Beckenbauer! 04:50.960 --> 04:54.290 We've had two races so far this season and he's won both! 04:54.290 --> 04:58.210 He's on the verge of being seen as an unassailable fortress by the other drivers! 04:58.210 --> 05:02.960 Michael Beckenbauer finished that race off in magnificent fashion! 05:02.960 --> 05:05.200 Who cares?! I wanna see the fight for third! 05:05.200 --> 05:07.930 It's way more interesting. 05:18.630 --> 05:22.230 These half-dry, half-wet conditions aren't helping. 05:22.230 --> 05:26.220 Just when I think I've got good traction, my wheels start slipping again. 05:26.560 --> 05:30.910 I'll stick my nose in once we hit the Hakone Shindo overpass. 05:31.260 --> 05:34.110 Then, we'll be side by side for the final corner. 05:34.110 --> 05:36.410 He won't stand a chance! 05:36.410 --> 05:39.930 It's not far to the line now. The battle for third is white-hot! 05:39.930 --> 05:42.000 They nearly go side by side under braking... 05:42.000 --> 05:45.330 But the 86 makes it into the corner first! 05:45.710 --> 05:48.220 In that case, I'll do the old switcheroo, 05:48.220 --> 05:50.890 and we'll duke it out on the exit of the final corner! 05:50.890 --> 05:55.350 They're at the final corner and the 86 hasn't braked at all! 05:55.680 --> 05:59.850 The 2 dabs the brakes lightly and takes a wider line! 06:00.150 --> 06:03.320 If I catch a load of lateral G, I'm done for. 06:03.320 --> 06:09.200 Shaking it off as soon as possible is my only chance of survival! 06:11.430 --> 06:13.660 The two switch lines, out to in, in to out! 06:13.660 --> 06:16.320 It's now a battle of uphill acceleration! 06:22.040 --> 06:24.500 The 2's gradually pulling alongside. 06:37.720 --> 06:40.400 And the checkered flag waves! 06:40.400 --> 06:45.110 By half a nose, Akaba in the 2 crosses the line first! 06:47.950 --> 06:50.610 Aw, man. That's so disappointing. 06:53.060 --> 06:55.990 I don't know if I've ever seen a more exciting finish! 06:55.990 --> 07:02.290 After 75.9 km of racing, the difference between the two cars was a mere 50 cm. 07:02.530 --> 07:05.270 It was an incredible chase by Akaba Kaito, 07:05.270 --> 07:08.420 and a superb attempt to outrun him by Katagiri Kanata. 07:08.420 --> 07:12.370 I have no shortage of praise for these two drivers, 07:12.370 --> 07:16.950 their dogfight even eclipsing the battle for first! 07:19.350 --> 07:21.760 As for the battle for sixth... 07:26.180 --> 07:29.030 After racing side by side for four corners, 07:29.030 --> 07:32.740 it looks like Sakamoto in the 5 has fallen back. 07:33.120 --> 07:36.700 I need to race in this car for the whole season. 07:36.980 --> 07:40.660 So I'm not interested in getting it all banged up in the second race. 07:40.910 --> 07:43.620 Unlike you, I actually think ahead. 07:44.710 --> 07:48.710 It's not like I'm chicken or anything. I made a tactical decision to yield. 07:49.330 --> 07:50.710 He chickened out. 07:57.010 --> 08:01.550 Flying solo in fifth, Maezono in the 13 takes the checkered flag. 08:02.360 --> 08:04.520 And behind him come... 08:04.740 --> 08:08.110 Aiba in the 9 and Sakamoto in the 5. 08:08.420 --> 08:10.570 Taylor in the 8 finishes eighth. 08:11.690 --> 08:16.620 And the battle between the next three cars was won by Kitahara in the 15, 08:16.990 --> 08:18.580 followed by Otani in the 7, 08:18.580 --> 08:20.540 and Yanagida in the 6. 08:20.540 --> 08:24.000 A bit further back, it's Yashio in the 16. 08:24.240 --> 08:27.460 Ishigami in the 1 car finishes a bitter 13th. 08:27.460 --> 08:30.200 And bringing up the rear, it's Kyogoku in the 23. 08:30.650 --> 08:35.040 These 14 cars have successfully made it to the end of a very wet Ashinoko GT, 08:35.040 --> 08:37.900 where a devil dwelled in the death zone. 08:38.580 --> 08:42.180 With the second race concluded, here's the updated leaderboard: 08:42.730 --> 08:45.370 In 1st, it's Michael Beckenbauer. 08:45.370 --> 08:49.150 In 2nd, Akaba Kaito. In 3rd, Sakamoto Yudai. 08:49.450 --> 08:53.320 In 4th, Aiba Shun. In 5th, Katagiri Kanata. 08:53.320 --> 08:57.770 In 6th, Ishigami Fujin. In 7th, Otani Yosuke. 08:58.150 --> 08:59.530 And that's a wrap. 08:59.530 --> 09:01.590 All that's left is the podium ceremony. 09:01.900 --> 09:05.280 Things were getting kind of crazy at the end there, huh? 09:05.280 --> 09:07.750 Tanaka-san was yelling a bunch on commentary. 09:08.130 --> 09:12.160 I'm all done for the day. I'm starving. 09:12.630 --> 09:16.050 Kyoko-san, Miss Seven, they're calling for you. 09:16.050 --> 09:17.330 Sure thing. 09:17.330 --> 09:18.060 Huh? 09:18.060 --> 09:20.330 They want me?! 09:22.060 --> 09:22.390 MF Ghost 09:22.390 --> 09:22.600 MF Ghost 09:22.600 --> 09:22.810 MF Ghost 09:22.810 --> 09:23.720 MF Ghost 09:22.990 --> 09:24.410 MF Ghost. 09:23.470 --> 09:26.020 MF Ghost 09:27.070 --> 09:27.400 MF Ghost 09:27.400 --> 09:27.610 MF Ghost 09:27.610 --> 09:27.820 MF Ghost 09:27.820 --> 09:31.030 MF Ghost 09:28.520 --> 09:29.970 MF Ghost. 09:31.320 --> 09:36.990 Let's give a big hand to this pair who battled it out in such harsh conditions. 09:39.800 --> 09:42.870 And now, the congratulatory kisses from the Angels. 09:47.490 --> 09:50.240 What do I do? This sucks. 09:50.240 --> 09:52.240 Why me? 09:52.940 --> 09:54.670 They want me?! 09:54.670 --> 09:56.890 Are you sure it isn't some mistake? 09:56.890 --> 09:59.840 The driver who came second, Sawatari, requested you. 10:00.280 --> 10:04.590 Akaba, who came third, asked for Kyoko-san. So if you could both please get ready. 10:14.150 --> 10:19.320 You're dead, Sawatari. How dare you take a liking to my darling Seven! 10:19.320 --> 10:22.530 The prize for coming fourth is 25 million yen. 10:22.530 --> 10:25.230 Half of that is 12.5 million yen! 10:25.230 --> 10:27.250 Holy crap! 10:28.020 --> 10:29.130 Katagiri-kun. 10:32.280 --> 10:35.200 You were amazing in the race. Congratulations. 10:35.200 --> 10:36.780 Oh, thank you. 10:41.490 --> 10:45.800 Those are my socials. Don't go thinking I give them out to just anyone, okay? 10:46.310 --> 10:49.730 That's just for you. 10:50.220 --> 10:51.810 Be sure to message me, okay? 10:54.690 --> 10:58.050 You sure are popular, Kanata. I'm jealous. 10:58.050 --> 11:02.530 Don't be. I have no idea how I should react. 11:04.260 --> 11:09.770 What the hell was that? Some Angel thinks she can put the moves on my Kanata? 11:09.770 --> 11:11.830 Who does she think she is? 11:23.080 --> 11:27.980 I have no idea why I get so turned on after a race. 11:28.370 --> 11:31.480 The sooner I see Sana, the better. 11:31.700 --> 11:35.440 Come over here a sec, Sawatari. We need to talk. 11:36.040 --> 11:40.240 What's the issue, Senpai? You look even madder than usual. 11:40.240 --> 11:42.610 I want to make a gentleman's agreement with you. 11:42.610 --> 11:47.220 You already have a girlfriend, so stay away from Angel Seven. 11:47.630 --> 11:52.410 Oh? Wait, are you infatuated with her? 11:52.410 --> 11:56.420 That's right. I'm infrastruc... Wait. 11:56.420 --> 11:58.710 Don't confuse me with fancy words! 11:59.010 --> 12:02.130 Point is, I'm totally head over heels for my darling Seven. 12:02.130 --> 12:03.990 You've got great taste, Senpai. 12:04.310 --> 12:07.840 She's the pick of the bunch of the eight Angels this season. 12:07.840 --> 12:12.560 Right? So hands off. That's a promise, man-to-man, okay? 12:13.170 --> 12:18.260 That said, you like 'em young, so maybe I don't need to worry so much. 12:18.790 --> 12:21.440 Senpai. I have news for you. 12:22.380 --> 12:25.990 I'm positive she's way younger than you think she is. 12:25.990 --> 12:27.210 What? 12:27.210 --> 12:30.700 She's either 17 or 18. Somewhere around there. 12:30.700 --> 12:32.910 No way! How can you tell? 12:33.190 --> 12:37.540 From seeing her up close. Her complexion, her figure, stuff like that. 12:37.980 --> 12:43.100 She tries to come across as mature with that hairstyle and the heavy makeup, 12:43.100 --> 12:46.380 but there's no fooling my instincts. 12:48.560 --> 12:53.060 When she kissed me on the podium, she was blushing all the way to her ears and shaking. 12:53.880 --> 12:56.600 You never see Angels that purehearted these days. 12:57.140 --> 12:59.570 So good luck with that one, Senpai. 13:01.790 --> 13:05.590 No way. I don't buy it. It can't be. 13:08.870 --> 13:12.480 I bet you're tired, Kanata. I can drive us back. 13:12.480 --> 13:15.960 Thank you. But I'm not that tired. 13:17.380 --> 13:21.650 Hey, you two. Let's have our usual wrap-up party at that organ meat place. 13:21.650 --> 13:25.470 You'd better show, Kanata. It's my treat. 13:25.470 --> 13:26.710 You, too, Ogata. 13:31.000 --> 13:35.080 That's the thing that really amazes me about Shun. 13:35.620 --> 13:41.230 You beat him in the race today, but he doesn't let that bother him. 13:41.540 --> 13:46.570 Once the race is over, you're just a younger driver he gets along with. 13:46.950 --> 13:50.670 Aiba-senpai really is charming, and an all-round nice guy. 13:50.670 --> 13:55.630 I'm sure Angel Number Seven will realize how nice he is someday. 13:56.370 --> 13:58.470 I'm not so sure about that. 13:58.470 --> 14:01.810 He's a great guy, but he's not exactly a ladies man. 14:02.250 --> 14:06.040 You'll want to drink, right, Ogata-san? I'm fine with driving. 14:06.040 --> 14:10.750 Nah, I'm not really in the mood to drink today. Toss me the keys. 14:10.750 --> 14:12.050 You sure? 14:21.830 --> 14:24.220 Hey. It's nice to hear from you, bro. 14:24.750 --> 14:26.430 I take it you're as busy as usual? 14:28.120 --> 14:32.080 Well, compared to you, I've got all the free time in the world. 14:33.390 --> 14:37.330 You know why I'm calling, right? I'm going to enter him in the next race. 14:37.890 --> 14:41.280 Fumihiro doesn't know yet, right? Fill him in for me. 14:41.950 --> 14:43.460 Yeah. I appreciate it. 14:43.910 --> 14:48.220 I'll be back in Takasaki for the Bon holiday. It'll be a good chance to visit Dad's grave. 14:48.220 --> 14:50.240 We can grab a meal, too. 14:50.870 --> 14:51.520 Bye. 14:52.770 --> 14:54.940 Were you talking to Ryosuke-san just then? 14:54.940 --> 15:00.270 You mentioned something about an entry, boss. Did you mean... 15:00.270 --> 15:03.060 Yeah. I got my brother's permission. 15:03.440 --> 15:05.810 He's gonna be in the race at Manazuru. 15:05.810 --> 15:08.400 It'll be Moroboshi Sena's MFG debut. 15:08.400 --> 15:11.750 Great! He's finally gonna get to go racing. 15:12.110 --> 15:15.270 I'll let Matsumoto-san know. 15:15.270 --> 15:17.620 This news will set Gunma abuzz. 15:17.620 --> 15:20.710 But I don't understand the reason for the delay. 15:20.710 --> 15:26.190 Well, it'd be unfair otherwise, right? Considering I trained him. 15:26.660 --> 15:29.550 He understands our street racing philosophy. 15:29.550 --> 15:34.520 And I get the whole idea behind the grip-to-weight ratio regulation. 15:34.970 --> 15:38.140 My brother's always been a hardass when it comes to family. 15:38.140 --> 15:40.600 You've known him a long time. I'm sure you've noticed. 15:40.600 --> 15:44.540 Come to think of it, Ryosuke-san has always been pretty harsh on you, boss. 15:45.000 --> 15:48.900 But what about the fact that Fujiwara's student has been competing? 15:49.220 --> 15:55.530 The way he drives is right out of the street racing textbook! That's just as unfair! 15:55.530 --> 16:00.620 Fujiwara's been in England this whole time, and had nothing to do with setting up MFG. 16:00.620 --> 16:04.000 The point is, my brother said none of my drivers could enter MFG 16:04.670 --> 16:08.590 until it had matured a bit as a competition. 16:09.160 --> 16:16.560 His exact stipulation was he wanted at least two drivers to beat my demo time in qualifying. 16:16.560 --> 16:18.010 Oh, right. 16:21.080 --> 16:22.850 Exactly. 16:23.490 --> 16:25.080 So no more holding back. 16:26.050 --> 16:28.400 I can't believe it took four years, though. 16:28.970 --> 16:34.080 So much for the "Godly" Fifteen. Can't say I'm impressed with any of them. 16:46.070 --> 16:48.170 The hydrangeas are in full bloom. 16:51.580 --> 16:59.150 I wonder what this stirring in my chest is. I get it whenever summer draws near. 16:59.640 --> 17:03.730 It's like something gets me buzzing, and I can't sit still. 17:04.200 --> 17:08.450 Like I want to start running for no reason. That kind of feeling. 17:09.220 --> 17:17.540 Maybe something in our DNA has always recognized summer as special. 17:19.580 --> 17:26.800 And right now, I'm in love with someone who has the kanji for "summer" in his name. 17:29.120 --> 17:32.000 It'll soon be summertime in Shonan. 17:32.570 --> 17:37.090 And it'll be the most special hot summer of my entire life! 17:37.930 --> 17:40.140 m 0.5 8 l 100 0 100 100 0 100 17:37.930 --> 17:40.140 m 0 8 l 100 0 100 100 0 100 17:37.930 --> 17:40.140 Odakyu Katase-Enoshima Station 17:39.010 --> 17:40.140 Good morning, Ren. 17:40.390 --> 17:41.640 Hey, good morning. 17:41.640 --> 17:43.640 It sure is pouring down, isn't it? 17:43.640 --> 17:45.730 It's the rainy season, after all. 17:47.440 --> 17:50.760 Kanata-san really is the princely type, isn't he? 17:47.440 --> 17:52.400 Exit 17:50.760 --> 17:52.400 You think so? 17:52.400 --> 17:56.980 He's got such refined looks and manners. And he's so polite when he talks. 17:56.980 --> 17:59.820 The girls have started calling him "Prince Kamakura." 18:01.670 --> 18:05.530 Maybe they think that because they only see him at work. 18:05.940 --> 18:08.240 He makes sure his hair and clothes are extra tidy. 18:09.290 --> 18:11.500 At home, he's very different. 18:12.100 --> 18:14.580 He lets his hair dry naturally without combing it. 18:14.580 --> 18:16.710 He even wanders around semi-naked. 18:16.720 --> 18:23.700 Kamakura 18:17.100 --> 18:20.190 He also pays no attention at all to what he wears, 18:20.190 --> 18:23.730 but because he's in such great shape, he looks good in whatever. 18:25.390 --> 18:27.710 But I won't mention that. 18:28.140 --> 18:32.790 Think I'll ever find my own abandoned hot half-Japanese guy on the side of the road? 18:32.790 --> 18:35.110 They're not puppies, you know. 18:35.410 --> 18:42.230 Wakana dates a lot. From what I know, since middle school, she's had six boyfriends, 18:35.660 --> 18:41.190 It's not summer without a boyfriend! A hot boyfriend! 18:41.190 --> 18:44.660 Hey, lemme have Kanata-san, yeah? 18:42.230 --> 18:44.660 though none of them have lasted very long. 18:44.950 --> 18:48.400 No way. And boyfriends aren't objects. 18:44.950 --> 18:49.010 By comparison, I've never had a boyfriend, 18:48.400 --> 18:54.040 Besides, Mom would be more against it than me. She absolutely adores Kanata. 18:49.010 --> 18:54.040 so I don't even understand what it means to go out with someone. 18:54.510 --> 18:57.670 That might be a bad thing, considering I'm a junior in high school, 18:57.670 --> 19:00.660 but it's just who I am. 19:06.970 --> 19:08.540 Did you see the guy at the register? 19:08.540 --> 19:09.790 Like, oh my god, right? 19:09.790 --> 19:11.310 Think he's a model? 19:12.160 --> 19:16.080 Katagiri-kun, it's time you clocked out for the day. 19:16.080 --> 19:16.880 Okay. 19:16.880 --> 19:18.230 Good work. 19:18.230 --> 19:19.940 Thank you, sir. 19:24.220 --> 19:29.370 I love the Japanese custom of giving your regards at the end of a workday. 20:03.420 --> 20:04.530 So, um... 20:04.900 --> 20:11.700 Based on the results of the last two races, I'd like to discuss a plan I've come up with. 20:12.640 --> 20:18.760 I know we discussed adding a turbo to the 86, but I have something else in mind. 20:18.760 --> 20:21.840 I say we go all-out and change vehicles. 20:22.570 --> 20:25.100 There's the Toyota Supra, right? 20:25.100 --> 20:27.760 Given its amazing transmission, 20:28.020 --> 20:32.520 with your suspension tweaks, Okuyama-san, I think it could be a real contender. 20:33.820 --> 20:35.350 What do you think, Kanata? 20:35.630 --> 20:37.520 Huh? He looks totally bummed. 20:37.520 --> 20:40.210 I don't really like the sound of that. 20:41.820 --> 20:45.320 First, I'd like to ask Mr. Okuyama something. 20:45.760 --> 20:49.730 How much more powerful would the 86 be with a turbo? 20:50.130 --> 20:55.710 Well, we're talking about a turbo, so if you wanted, we could go up to 400hp or 500hp. 20:56.050 --> 21:00.380 The thing I have in mind would be around 300hp at max, though. 21:00.380 --> 21:03.440 Wow, 300hp? Brilliant! 21:11.470 --> 21:13.430 A GR Supra? 21:13.430 --> 21:17.070 This isn't one of those "And I bought it already!" gags, is it, Ogata-kun? 21:17.070 --> 21:18.440 No, not at all! 21:18.440 --> 21:20.520 I've never seen that car before. 21:20.520 --> 21:22.610 A customer, maybe? 21:27.860 --> 21:29.530 Sorry for turning up unannounced. 21:29.860 --> 21:33.620 My name is Moroboshi Sena. I'm with Dream Project. 21:33.850 --> 21:37.190 Dream Project? Takahashi Keisuke's group? 21:37.190 --> 21:40.590 I was hoping I could see Katagiri Kanata. Is he here? 21:40.590 --> 21:41.860 You wanna see Kanata? 21:42.680 --> 21:44.050 Who's this? 23:31.470 --> 23:35.360 Next time, Turn 21: The Rival.
