00:09.700 --> 00:12.850
Are you kidding me? Check your phone, Ogata!

00:12.850 --> 00:15.280
You guys are in tomorrow's race!

00:15.280 --> 00:16.030
Huh?

00:16.030 --> 00:18.160
You can earn some prize money, too!

00:18.720 --> 00:21.150
Huh?!

00:21.620 --> 00:25.580
Ogata Automotive

00:22.960 --> 00:29.840
After last night, I was so excited, I barely 
got any sleep, and now I'm paying for it.

00:30.120 --> 00:34.050
I'm sorry. I got a full eight hours of sleep.

00:34.050 --> 00:37.470
No, no, that's nothing to apologize for.

00:38.300 --> 00:41.720
And you weren't kidding before.
These tires are done.

00:41.930 --> 00:46.510
Gonna need to change 'em before taking to 
the start line tomorrow. They're free now.

00:46.510 --> 00:49.360
I'm glad it won't cost you any extra.

00:49.710 --> 00:51.300
It's not just the tires, either.

00:51.300 --> 00:53.620
After the display the 86 put on yesterday,

00:53.620 --> 00:57.450
we've been inundated with offers
of parts to tune it up at no cost.

00:58.060 --> 01:03.210
The best thing about this car is the 
wide range of aftermarket parts available.

01:03.660 --> 01:07.400
It's too late for this race, but by the 
second round at Lake Ashinoko,

01:07.400 --> 01:10.670
you can expect the 86 
to be nicely souped-up.

01:11.040 --> 01:12.270
So look forward to that.

01:17.370 --> 01:21.850
Let's try and take care of everything
 we can do today. Any requests?

01:21.850 --> 01:23.350
Well, there is one thing.

01:23.850 --> 01:26.140
Could you turn off the traction control?

01:26.540 --> 01:28.770
The traction control's no good?

01:28.770 --> 01:32.730
I've upgraded it in the past, 
so it should be up to modern standards.

01:32.730 --> 01:34.110
Oh, it works fine.

01:34.830 --> 01:37.640
I'd just have more control without it.

01:37.640 --> 01:40.250
Roger that. I'll have it done 
by the end of the day.

01:42.130 --> 01:46.660
Sorry about this, but is it all right if 
I leave it to you and head out, Ogata-san?

01:46.660 --> 01:49.000
I promised I'd meet up with Ren.

01:49.000 --> 01:51.000
Saionji-san's daughter? That Ren-chan?

01:51.000 --> 01:51.750
Yep.

01:51.750 --> 01:54.960
Man, that name takes me back.

01:54.960 --> 02:00.830
I remember her dad would bring her 
to the shop when she was about this big.

02:01.200 --> 02:05.390
She had this round, cherublike face,
 but she was a stubborn little rascal.

02:05.390 --> 02:07.140
I'm laughing just remembering.

02:07.410 --> 02:12.440
Everyone used to say 
she should've been born a boy.

02:12.780 --> 02:15.840
I wonder if she's a bit more girly now.

02:15.840 --> 02:18.240
I'm kinda scared to,
 but I'd like to see her again.

02:18.240 --> 02:19.700
Get her to come by next time.

02:20.430 --> 02:21.740
I'll let her know.

03:58.630 --> 04:01.050
The Enoden is so fun.

04:01.050 --> 04:03.890
I'm amazed how it feels 
like a ride in a theme park,

04:03.890 --> 04:08.800
but it's just a part of everyone's 
regular, everyday transport.

04:09.120 --> 04:11.450
It really suits Kamakura.

04:12.100 --> 04:14.180

04:14.650 --> 04:18.730
<i>He hasn't realized that

04:19.060 --> 04:23.550
<i>Unbelievable. Are all boys this dense?</i>

04:23.550 --> 04:27.840
<i>I know I look a bit different, but wouldn't 
my voice or whatever give me away?</i>

04:42.200 --> 04:44.660
Just thinking about stuff.

04:44.660 --> 04:46.130
That's good, then.

04:47.180 --> 04:49.470
I'll send the picture to your phone, Ren.

04:50.200 --> 04:54.210
After all, two people looking at 
the same phone can be a bit awkward.

04:54.210 --> 04:58.600
Thanks. But are you sure? 
Isn't this picture special to you?

04:58.600 --> 05:03.610
I should be the one thanking you. 
If it wasn't for you, I'd be helpless.

05:03.900 --> 05:06.030
You're so kind.

05:06.030 --> 05:07.870
You're like an angel.

05:10.690 --> 05:15.690
Y'know, Kanata, I think the key clue 
to finding this location we're looking for

05:15.690 --> 05:19.330
might be this modern-looking 
building on the right edge here.

05:19.330 --> 05:21.710
Yes, I was thinking that, too.

05:21.710 --> 05:24.660
Here's hoping it's still standing.

05:24.660 --> 05:28.560
I'm sure it is. Kamakura doesn't change much.

05:29.560 --> 05:33.530
<i>But I don't think it's around here.
 This building...</i>

05:33.530 --> 05:35.590
From what I can see, there's no sign of it.

05:36.920 --> 05:39.440
<i>You don't even check the picture, do you?</i>

05:40.190 --> 05:43.950
<i>Then again, you've probably looked at it a lot.</i>

05:48.150 --> 05:49.860
It's huge!

05:49.860 --> 05:52.200
Hey, Kanata, take a picture.

05:53.010 --> 05:55.510
So if we do this...

05:55.510 --> 05:57.460
And change this like <i>this</i>...

05:57.460 --> 05:59.210
This is complicated.

06:03.180 --> 06:07.560
Nicely done! You've got a knack 
for this, Kanata. It turned out cute.

06:07.560 --> 06:11.590
Y'know, our moms both went to art school. 
Maybe you take after yours.

06:11.910 --> 06:13.510
Let's get you in one!

06:13.510 --> 06:17.690
Don't worry about me. I don't like 
having my photo taken, so I'd rather not.

06:17.690 --> 06:19.310
Shut up, Kanata.

06:20.300 --> 06:22.190
We're doing this.

06:22.420 --> 06:25.190
And if you don't, I'm gonna 
steal your sides at dinner.

06:25.190 --> 06:27.490
This is fun, so just do it!

06:27.490 --> 06:29.610
What a terrible abuse of power.

06:29.610 --> 06:34.240
Okay, so go like this. Now that. 
Then, make a face like <i>this</i>...

06:34.240 --> 06:35.950
This is complicated.

06:38.900 --> 06:41.710
Huh. That was more fun 
than I thought it would be.

06:41.710 --> 06:45.900
And no deleting it. 
You'd better hold onto that picture.

06:45.900 --> 06:47.300
Okay, let's go!

06:49.300 --> 06:54.970
This might sound so childish
that you'll laugh at me, Ren...

06:54.970 --> 06:58.430
But Kamakura feels like a place
you need a time machine to visit.

06:58.810 --> 07:01.720
You have modernity and 
antiquity in close proximity,

07:02.050 --> 07:05.230
and I'm here retracing 
the steps my parents took.

07:05.230 --> 07:07.390
It feels like, at some point,

07:07.390 --> 07:11.620
we stepped into the past and we're now 
looking at a place they were very close to.

07:12.070 --> 07:17.080
And it's such a pleasant feeling. 
So very sweet and soothing.

07:17.580 --> 07:19.960
All of Kamakura feels that way.

07:20.410 --> 07:24.670
There's just something about 
this city that's very attractive.

07:27.680 --> 07:30.800
Yeah, I like Kamakura, too.

07:31.520 --> 07:38.340
I bet your mom and dad stood here, too,
 looking out at the same scenery.

07:40.370 --> 07:42.310
Let's take a little break.

07:43.080 --> 07:45.290
All that walking has made me thirsty.

07:45.290 --> 07:46.190
Yes.

07:47.270 --> 07:53.280
Part-Time Workers

07:47.270 --> 07:53.280
Wanted

07:47.670 --> 07:50.970
Ren, what does this poster say?

07:50.970 --> 07:53.280
It says, "Part-time workers wanted."

07:58.200 --> 08:02.530
I think I'm going to need 
a job like yours soon, Ren.

08:03.330 --> 08:08.130
I need money, and I'd like an apartment
 of my own, even if it's only a small one.

08:08.130 --> 08:10.470
Huh? But why?

08:10.470 --> 08:12.590
You can stay with us as long as you want.

08:12.590 --> 08:15.070
Mom and Dad both said you can.

08:15.070 --> 08:17.210
I'm glad you feel that way,

08:17.210 --> 08:21.470
but I can't take advantage of 
your family's kindness forever.

08:21.470 --> 08:24.570
You're so serious about everything, Kanata.

08:24.570 --> 08:27.390
I think Mom would be 
disappointed to hear you say that.

08:30.220 --> 08:34.440
Apparently, she's always wanted a son.

08:34.720 --> 08:39.430
I get the feeling she thinks of you
 as the child she never had.

08:39.830 --> 08:41.730
You're handsome, polite, a little shy,

08:41.730 --> 08:45.010
and something about you makes 
people wanna take care of you.

08:45.790 --> 08:47.830
Oh, uh, no, I...

08:47.830 --> 08:50.340
I've never really been that good a son.

08:51.000 --> 08:51.850
Never.

08:59.040 --> 09:01.070
Hey, you two lovebirds.

09:01.640 --> 09:04.140
Would you like me to take your picture?

09:04.140 --> 09:06.560
Uh, no, that's—

09:08.150 --> 09:09.520
Please do!

09:13.690 --> 09:15.150
Thank you!

09:15.150 --> 09:18.920
You two make such a lovely couple.
 You're both so attractive.

09:20.240 --> 09:22.820
<i>"Attractive"? Aw, shucks.</i>

09:22.820 --> 09:25.150
<i>I mean, I'll admit you're handsome, Kanata...</i>

09:25.150 --> 09:28.860
<i>Ah, what do I do?
 I'm so happy, I'm getting all excited!</i>

09:28.860 --> 09:31.930
I think she had the wrong idea about us.

09:32.450 --> 09:35.210
Don't sweat the small stuff.

09:38.810 --> 09:41.640
Hey, stop, Ren! Don't throw sand at me.

09:44.920 --> 09:46.350
Payback!

09:47.010 --> 09:48.980
C'mon, quit it!

09:48.980 --> 09:51.810
You're gonna get sand all over my uniform!

09:51.810 --> 09:54.400
You stop it first, then.

09:56.970 --> 09:58.360
<i>Hey, Kanata.</i>

09:59.010 --> 10:02.430
<i>What can I do for you?</i>

10:03.880 --> 10:08.250
<i>Is it okay if I stay with you forever?</i>

10:11.360 --> 10:14.410
<i>I can't deny what I'm feeling.</i>

10:16.270 --> 10:17.420
<i>Kanata...</i>

10:17.910 --> 10:19.240
<i>I love you.</i>

10:33.470 --> 10:38.390
C'mon, Kanata. I wasn't expecting to 
make any prize money in the first place.

10:38.390 --> 10:41.030
I can't possibly take half of it.

10:41.410 --> 10:44.890
You'll agree to rewrite the contract, right?

10:44.890 --> 10:47.670
At least make it an 80/20 split.

10:47.980 --> 10:52.780
No. You're fully entitled to half the 
prize money, as far as I'm concerned.

10:53.100 --> 11:00.860
You own the car, and if I total it today,
 you'll be the one who loses out.

11:00.860 --> 11:04.540
It's an old car and not worth all that much.

11:04.540 --> 11:07.810
Considering the amount of risk 
you're taking, it's just unfair.

11:07.810 --> 11:09.990
I won't agree to having it rewritten.

11:09.990 --> 11:13.850
I'm in this for the challenge, 
not the prize money.

11:14.770 --> 11:18.840
Don't sound so selfless, man.
It just makes it harder.

11:18.840 --> 11:19.900
Here you are.

11:20.310 --> 11:22.850
One Japanese-style hamburg 
steak and one healthy curry.

11:22.850 --> 11:24.600
Oh, the burger's mine.

11:31.190 --> 11:33.540
On second thought, 
I should've ordered that.

11:33.840 --> 11:35.290
I'm gonna take a bite.

11:35.290 --> 11:39.250
Ew, gross. I hadn't even touched it yet.

11:39.490 --> 11:43.240
"I should've ordered that," my butt.
Quit screwing around, dum-dum.

11:44.140 --> 11:45.950
<i>Those two seem to get along well.</i>

11:45.950 --> 11:49.160
I'm gonna order something sweet. 
What about you, Kanata?

11:49.860 --> 11:51.380
Want some dessert?

11:51.380 --> 11:54.900
No dessert for me. I'll grab a coffee.

11:58.750 --> 12:00.730
You can go first. Please.

12:01.000 --> 12:02.290
Thanks.

12:02.610 --> 12:05.670
<i>Oh, wow, what a hottie!</i>

12:08.990 --> 12:12.440
<i>That was a real treat for the eyes. So cool.</i>

12:13.410 --> 12:14.710
Hey, look!

12:14.710 --> 12:17.830
It's the 86 car! The genuine article!

12:18.420 --> 12:21.450
Remember seeing it in 
qualifying the other day?

12:21.450 --> 12:24.330
For real? And we were eating 
in the same restaurant?

12:24.330 --> 12:26.550
See anyone that seemed like the driver?

12:30.830 --> 12:32.280
Wait, is it you?

12:32.810 --> 12:34.730
Katagiri Kanata-kun?

12:34.730 --> 12:36.320
Um, yes?

12:36.320 --> 12:41.130
What crazy luck! Running into the super 
rookie on everyone's lips at this place!

12:41.130 --> 12:45.570
I'm Kitahara Nozomi. 
I'll see you again later.

12:46.120 --> 12:47.160
Later?

12:47.710 --> 12:48.870
Come on, Nozomi.

12:48.870 --> 12:50.420
Ah, shut up.

12:50.420 --> 12:51.560
See ya.

12:53.900 --> 12:57.310
He's slightly hot and 
you're practically drooling over him.

12:57.310 --> 12:59.380
So what? Leave me alone.

13:12.150 --> 13:13.970
It really was them.

13:13.970 --> 13:18.940
Yashio Kakeru in the White Lotus and 
Kitahara Nozomi in the red Alfa Romeo.

13:18.940 --> 13:20.900
People call them the "Yashi-Kita Gang."

13:20.900 --> 13:24.900
They've got different last names, 
but they're biological siblings.

13:25.210 --> 13:28.050
MFG is fundamentally a solo competition,

13:28.050 --> 13:31.420
but the two of them are remarkably
 coordinated when they race.

13:31.420 --> 13:33.870
Especially with how they use slipstreams.

13:34.840 --> 13:36.530
Slipstreams...

13:48.840 --> 13:54.050
<i>That was this season's theme song, brought 
to you by the fourth generation of Angels,</i>

13:54.050 --> 13:57.140
<i>the newly released
 "No Fear of Blind Corners."</i>

13:57.600 --> 14:01.270
<i>It went straight into the charts at 
number three, so that's a great start.</i>

14:01.270 --> 14:02.680
Hey, look at that one.

14:02.680 --> 14:04.860
She changed her hair.

14:06.660 --> 14:10.570
<i>And a very good afternoon to all 
30 million MFG fans across the globe.</i>

14:10.570 --> 14:12.280
<i>I'm your commentator, Tanaka Yoji.</i>

14:12.680 --> 14:17.450
<i>My guest in the booth today is someone who 
had an attention-grabbing racing career...</i>

14:17.450 --> 14:20.920
...and who is currently a racing coach.

14:20.920 --> 14:23.490
Kogashiwa Kai is here with me.

14:23.850 --> 14:26.380
Hey, it's a pleasure to be here.

14:26.770 --> 14:29.030
Now, one rumor I've heard, Kogashiwa-san,

14:29.030 --> 14:33.950
is that you're closely connected 
to the bigwigs running MFG.

14:33.950 --> 14:37.390
I'd say so. We're friends
 and we go way back.

14:37.610 --> 14:39.290
<i>So if you don't mind me asking,</i>

14:39.290 --> 14:44.610
<i>do you have any info on the identity
 of the mysterious "Ryo Takahashi"?</i>

14:44.610 --> 14:46.740
<i>Well, I guess I do...</i>

14:46.740 --> 14:50.260
<i>But he warned me not to talk about it,
 so I'm not at liberty to say.</i>

14:50.260 --> 14:53.340
<i>I see. That makes sense.</i>

14:54.110 --> 14:55.720
Speaking of men of mystery,

14:55.720 --> 15:00.120
let's talk about Katagiri Kanata, who made 
it through qualifying in his first race.

15:00.120 --> 15:03.540
<i>Given that I call myself 
"MFG's walking encyclopedia,"</i>

15:03.540 --> 15:07.800
<i>I felt it was incumbent on me to make 
some international calls to England,</i>

15:07.800 --> 15:10.350
<i>and after a few inquiries 
in less-than-perfect English,</i>

15:10.350 --> 15:13.590
<i>I was able to dig up some 
real dynamite info on him.</i>

15:13.810 --> 15:17.310
<i>When the time is right, 
I'll share that information with you all.</i>

15:17.880 --> 15:21.870
<i>But right now, there's only 10 minutes 
to go before the start of the race.</i>

15:21.870 --> 15:28.150
<i>My goosebumps aren't going away as we near
the long-awaited start of this opening race.</i>

15:28.860 --> 15:33.600
<i>With the drivers' meeting now over, 
the 15 racers descend from the bus.</i>

15:34.350 --> 15:36.980
<i>There's the polesitter, Ishigami.</i>

15:36.980 --> 15:41.650
<i>And the driver in second is Sakamoto Yudai, 
with his hood up and face hidden as usual.</i>

15:41.650 --> 15:45.210
<i>And next, here's the 
princely young Beckenbauer.</i>

15:45.630 --> 15:47.670
<i>Starting fourth is Otani in the AMG.</i>

15:47.670 --> 15:50.170
<i>It's sixth spot for Yanagida in the BMW.</i>

15:50.170 --> 15:55.180
<i>Jackson Taylor in the Porsche is seventh. 
The drivers of the European makes look fierce.</i>

15:55.400 --> 15:57.990
<i>The Godly Fifteen aura radiates from them.</i>

15:57.990 --> 16:00.520
<i>This is already enough 
to get my heart pounding.</i>

16:01.130 --> 16:03.370
<i>The Kamikaze Outlaw, Aiba Shun.</i>

16:03.370 --> 16:06.480
<i>And behind him is the rookie,
 Katagiri Kanata.</i>

16:06.860 --> 16:11.940
<i>He's a hybrid himself, with a Japanese father 
and English mother. And handsome to boot!</i>

16:12.360 --> 16:14.730
<i>I can only imagine the 
female fans he'll attract.</i>

16:14.730 --> 16:18.630
<i>You didn't have to say all that.
Tanaka-san, you stupid idiot.</i>

16:18.630 --> 16:24.080
<i>The Godly Fifteen are crossing into the 
paddock constructed on the Seisho Bypass.</i>

16:24.080 --> 16:29.710
<i>Their engines running, all 15 vehicles 
await the arrival of their drivers.</i>

16:30.570 --> 16:33.830
Aiba-senpai, thanks for the
organ meat feast the other night.

16:33.830 --> 16:37.640
No sweat. It's one of my usual haunts, 
so I'll take you again someday.

16:37.640 --> 16:38.710
Wow!

16:38.710 --> 16:41.960
An Aventador? Hell no.

16:41.960 --> 16:44.680
They're for drag races. 
It'd be no good in MFG.

16:45.150 --> 16:48.170
Get me a Huracán Performante.

16:48.170 --> 16:51.900
I don't care how much it costs. 
Just have it ready by the next race.

16:51.900 --> 16:55.410
<i>Damn, Oishi. You're still as spoiled as ever.</i>

16:55.410 --> 16:59.730
<i>The problem is your lack of skills, 
not the car's lack of power.</i>

16:59.730 --> 17:01.620
<i>Figure that out already.</i>

17:02.130 --> 17:04.320
I'd better go. Stay on your toes, Kanata.

17:04.320 --> 17:06.360
Good luck to you, too, Aiba-senpai.

17:07.810 --> 17:11.850
<i>The race is about to start and 
he's not showing any signs of nerves.</i>

17:12.550 --> 17:15.000
<i>That Kanata's one strange guy.</i>

17:15.000 --> 17:18.930
<i>He's got the unshakable vibe of 
a battle-hardened veteran racer.</i>

17:18.930 --> 17:20.730
<i>But despite that, he's still likable.</i>

17:21.640 --> 17:24.850
There's less than one minute to the start.

17:24.850 --> 17:29.410
<i>And even up here in the booth, I feel like 
my heart's going to jump out of my mouth.</i>

17:34.320 --> 17:39.860
<i>The eight angels are lined up near the gate
 to see the drivers off on their way out.</i>

17:42.330 --> 17:46.250
<i>My one goal above all others is to be 
standing on the podium come the end.</i>

17:46.560 --> 17:50.750
<i>Oughta be easy, right? I'm starting fifth,
 so I just have to pass two cars.</i>

17:50.750 --> 17:54.880
<i>Four years in, and I've never 
been this motivated before.</i>

17:55.210 --> 17:58.340
<i>I'm not letting anyone else 
get a kiss from Number Seven!</i>

17:58.340 --> 18:02.460
<i>Those who make it onto the podium receive 
a kiss on the cheek from one of the Angels.</i>

18:02.460 --> 18:04.450
<i>And it's winner's choice!</i>

18:06.170 --> 18:10.940
<i>And so, the Porsche with the 
number 1 on it slowly exits the gate.</i>

18:11.450 --> 18:16.960
<i>All cars are limited to 40 kph
until the last one is through the gate.</i>

18:16.960 --> 18:21.950
<i>Each driver's drone flies
ahead of them at that speed,</i>

18:22.340 --> 18:26.080
<i>and if they pass their drone 
before the blue signal,</i>

18:26.080 --> 18:28.910
<i>they get penalized for a jump start.</i>

18:28.910 --> 18:32.170
<i>It's only 15 seconds added
 to their overall time...</i>

18:32.170 --> 18:35.670
...but that's enough to 
guarantee a last-place finish.

18:36.840 --> 18:39.400
<i>The fleet of cars exits 
the gate one after another.</i>

18:41.380 --> 18:42.680
<i>And now...</i>

18:43.990 --> 18:48.820
<i>the 86 car, in last place, 
has cleared the gate.</i>

18:53.140 --> 18:56.370
<i>All 15 monsters roar away!</i>

18:56.370 --> 19:02.080
<i>Just listen to that noise! 
Can you even hear me over it?</i>

19:02.080 --> 19:05.660
This is so awesome.
This is what races are meant to be like!

19:05.950 --> 19:08.840
EV races put me to sleep!

19:09.210 --> 19:13.610
<i>And just barely avoiding a jump start,
 here comes the 9 car, the GTR!</i>

19:13.610 --> 19:17.050
<i>He's challenging Otani's AMG already!</i>

19:17.050 --> 19:18.930
Hell yeah! Go for it, Aiba!

19:18.930 --> 19:21.510
Show us what the GTR can <i>really</i> do!

19:21.510 --> 19:24.680
<i>And he pulls off a successful
 overtake on the AMG!</i>

19:24.680 --> 19:30.560
<i>Up one place already, it seems Aiba Shun
 doesn't know the meaning of the word "defense"!</i>

19:30.560 --> 19:34.520
<i>He's the driver who sends the 
crowd wild the most in MFG!</i>

19:34.800 --> 19:39.030
<i>Yet despite his huge popularity and
 friendly nature, he's unlucky in love.</i>

19:39.030 --> 19:42.300
That was definitely part of Aiba-kun's plan.

19:42.300 --> 19:48.240
The AMG GT S is rear-wheel drive, so it needs
 to warm up its tires to get any real traction.

19:48.690 --> 19:49.830
I see.

19:50.420 --> 19:53.840
<i>Ishigami in first steadily forges ahead.</i>

19:53.840 --> 19:56.460
<i>A little farther back, 
it's bumper to bumper.</i>

19:56.460 --> 20:00.800
<i>The 12, 5, 9, and 7 cars are 
all fighting over second place!</i>

20:05.170 --> 20:10.060
<i>Beckenbauer in the 12 is steadily gapping 
the group that's now competing for third.</i>

20:10.060 --> 20:17.030
<i>Given how many 600 HP monsters he's up against,
 that's an unexpected turn of events.</i>

20:17.030 --> 20:19.730
<i>Your thoughts on it, Kogashiwa-san?</i>

20:19.730 --> 20:22.250
<i>I'd chalk it up to his 
tire management skills.</i>

20:22.250 --> 20:25.700
<i>He's extremely adept at
 getting heat into his tires.</i>

20:26.040 --> 20:30.200
<i>Drivers at this level are able
 to gauge the surface temperature</i>

20:30.200 --> 20:32.450
<i>of all four tires pretty accurately.</i>

20:32.450 --> 20:39.420
<i>Not only that, but they can warm up or 
cool down individual tires when necessary.</i>

20:39.420 --> 20:41.570
<i>That's actually possible?</i>

20:41.570 --> 20:42.850
<i>It sure is.</i>

20:44.300 --> 20:47.760
<i>But Beckenbauer is a world-class talent.</i>

20:47.970 --> 20:53.570
<i>I'd wager out of everyone in this race, 
he might be the only one who can do that.</i>

20:57.600 --> 20:59.560
<i>My rear left could do with a bit more heat.</i>

21:10.450 --> 21:14.160
<i>Ogata here! What was that slide just now?!
 Is something wrong, Kanata?!</i>

21:14.160 --> 21:17.500
Are you having issues
 with the car's balance?!

21:17.500 --> 21:20.360
<i>No problems. Just a minor adjustment.</i>

21:20.670 --> 21:22.340
It's all looking better now.

21:22.340 --> 21:24.340
<i>Don't scare me like that.</i>

21:24.340 --> 21:26.540
You're off to a good start.

21:26.540 --> 21:29.550
Kinda surprised the cars in 
front aren't getting away.

21:29.550 --> 21:32.510
This isn't qualifying anymore, Ogata-san.

21:32.920 --> 21:36.480
The Honda and Alfa in front 
of me are battling hard.

21:36.480 --> 21:40.100
But with no one around me, 
I can take my ideal lines.

21:40.330 --> 21:42.820
I get it. So that's what you mean.

21:42.820 --> 21:45.690
And the moment where 
I join their battle...

21:46.020 --> 21:47.740
may come sooner than I expected.

23:31.590 --> 23:35.090
<i>Next time, Turn 05: Teamwork.</i>
