IGPX

I can go as far as I want.

Faster and farther than anyone.

Where in the world is the limit? I can't see it yet.

Just look forward and forge ahead.

Fight recklessly.

Until you conquer and win.

If you want to snatch it away no matter what...

...don't give up till the end.

When we look straight at the faraway place...

...our thoughts come together as one.

IGPX!

Go For It!

Stand firm and stay arrogantly stubborn.

Don't look back if it's the course you set.

Let's rise to the top of the very best.

If you stop, it's all over right there.

Show Fight!

Takeshi, he's behind you!

I know!

You won't beat me!

The spiral!

Takeshi, they’re forward at 5 o'clock!

Not good.

Takeshi!

Damn it.

Solo again!

Solo again! Not now, Takeshi!

No, now's the time!

What are you thinking?

What are you thinking? Running now!

Wait!

Wow, Team Satomi, once called the excess baggage of IGPX...

...seems to lack teamwork again.

Now past the S-curve to the homestretch.

Which team will have the edge in this fierce battle...

...and come out victorious?

It was Team Satomi's Takeshi who got the checkered flag!

A stunning, stunning surprise reversal!

And by this result, this season's team to be promoted to IG-1 is...

...determined to be Team Satomi!

They'll certainly blow plenty of storms in the next IG-1 season!

This season's IG League 2 champion is Team Satomi!

Thank you very much.

So you'll be playing in IG-1 next season.

It's an unexpected turn for us.

What do you think of that?

I don't think that's an appropriate first question...

...but I'll be happy to answer.

We're a team that always plays its best.

As always...

...isn't the word "cooperativeness" in your dictionary?

I guess it's hard to turn to the page when I'm running.

Oh, really. It's hard to turn to the page?

That can't be helped.

Do you think that's a good enough excuse?

You have to "cooperate"!

Sorry.

Liz, let's forgive him just for today.

Amy, it's time you realize you're encouraging him to get carried away.

Oh, well.

Confucius says, "Wise men know the masses. Little minds know the few."

Analects again?

Analects again. Problem?

Advice from someone who died ages ago...

It's a way better source than a living dope!

Liz...

If I were in the third lap pinch...

...I would've gone through it more easily.

I wonder.

No, I definitely would.

Keeping me a sub is ridiculous.

When did you start talking like a big shot?

Calm down, Liz. Don't get excited.

What do you mean? It's all your fault!

Isn't anyone listening to what I'm saying?

I am. I just don't want to.

I can't stand it!

That's my line!

That's my line! Stop it!

Listen, everyone.

We should know best of all that winning this chance was lucky.

From here on, luck alone won't win IG-1 battles.

Starting now, I want each of you to be more self-aware.

Um, I'll do my best to support everyone!

Go smile today.

The coming days won't make us smile much.

Self-aware, huh?

Let's discuss the issue over lunch.

Welcome to the opening ceremony of this season's IGPX League 1.

Without further ado, let me introduce the six teams in League 1.

First, Team Satomi!

The newcomer to IGPX League 1 this season.

They caused all kinds of trouble in IG-2...

...and always won in the 11th hour.

Will Lady Luck smile on them in IG-1?

That's not nice to say...

Next...

...Team Black Egg!

5th last year. If they show their true skills, they should rank higher.

Team Edgeraid!

4th last year. Ace pilot Bjorn was hurt, but we expect great things now.

Team Skylark!

Traditionally all female. 3rd last year.

Of course, they're aiming for the top this season.

What are you looking at so adoringly?

I'm not looking.

Oh, really?

And the next team is Team Sledgemama!

Need I explain? They're IGPX's strongest men...

...Yamma, Dimma, and Timma.

Unfortunately, they weren't the fastest...

However, there's no doubt they're this season's top contenders.

And the last team is...

...last year's champs, led by the great Sir Hamgra...

...Team Velshtein!

The three pilots are Cunningham, Jan, and Dew.

Let's hear from their ace pilot, Cunningham.

Well, Cunningham...

...are there pilots you're wary of in the other teams this season?

There is one.

Oh, who's that?

Takeshi...

It's Team Satomi's Takeshi.

Hey, why's Cunningham paying attention to you?

Beats me...

I haven't raced him yet, so I'm not sure if he's a real rival.

I might just call him "a disquieting presence" for now.

Oh, quite interesting.

Thank you, Cunningham.

Everyone, let's wish them good luck for the IGPX races this season!

I don't do well at parties.

You win!

Hello.

Hold it.

I... don't like you.

A brat with fast reflexes half-playing in the IGPX...

I don't like that at all.

I'm not a brat like that.

Shut up!

No one's died in the IGPX...

...but there are plenty who end up disabled.

I'll remember that.

That's good.

You should listen carefully to an old hand's lessons.

One more thing.

Don't run in my presence.

I'll remember that.

Aren't you paying too much attention to that kid?

There's no way we'll lose even if we play normal.

Of course.

But like Cunningham said...

There's something about him that bugs me.

There seems to be so much to remember...

...but I'm not good at memorization.
