New Initial D the Movie - Legend 2: Racer

What the hell are they thinking ?! This straightaway's too short for that !

Hey, that's Takahashi Ryosuke's white FC !

Are they battling ?

An R32 GT-R.

He's better than I thought.

I can keep up with Takahashi Ryosuke.

Young Magazine 35th Anniversary Production

As I thought, you're Takahashi Ryosuke of the Akagi Red Suns.

And you ?

I'm Nakazato Takeshi of the Myogi Night Kids

Nakazato...

I've heard of your name at least.

So, what's a Myogi street racer doing in Akina ?

Look who's talking. You're an Akagi street racer.

Both of us have the same objective.

I never expected someone like that in Akina.

A driver of a GT-R tuned to 380 HP is planning to challenge Akina's Eight-Six ?

How did you know the power of my car's engine ?

The battle will be very one-sided, and the outcome is obvious before you even try.

The GT-R will win hands down on the uphill, thanks to its power, but...

...you can't beat that Eight-Six on the downhill, no matter how hard you try.

Say what ?!

Don't get me wrong. I just spoke my mind.

Don't screw around with me.

If you put it that way, I can't back off no matter what.

I'll beat that Eight-Six and make you eat your words.

The R32 Skyline GT-R and I will humiliate Akina's downhill specialist !

You'll understand once you race against it.

Don't spill it, or you'll squish the tofu.

More than usual ?

You have a big load today.

I thought he had changed a bit, but maybe it's just my imagination.

GENERAL

This way, please. GENERAL

GENERAL

Thank you so much.

Takahashi Ryosuke was in Akina, huh ?

He had super precise drift.

But what surprised me more was the GT-R.

The driver showed excellent grip, and stayed right on the FC's tail.

I don't know who it was, but he's amazing.

Well, drifting is flashy, but some say it's slower than driving with grip.

Is that so, Iketani ?

But real drifting is fast, and Takumi proved it.

Did you think about it, Takumi ?

Well...

I beg you. I got carried away, and said your Eight-Six was the Akina Speed Stars' secret weapon.

I already blew my horn.

Same here. We'll be embarrassed if you don't join.

You have to join, Takumi. I'm a part of the deal.

I don't mind joining your team, but it's for street racers, right ?

But I'm not a street racer, so...

What the hell are you talking about ?

Nobody drives faster than you in Akina.

Is that so...?

It is. If you're not a street racer, what are you ?!

A cup of water is a nice idea.

I thought Takumi's superb driving was because of his experience in driving Akina's downhill for so long, but...

...I was wrong.

The uphill drive was more important.

The load shift is one of the basics of controlling a car.

If you try not to spill water in a cup, you'll learn extremely sensitive load shifting.

You're amazing, Bunta.

You've trained him into a completely new type of driver.

Thank you. You've trained him into a completely new type of driver.

You've trained him into a completely new type of driver.

That was quite a circus.

I hate drifters...

...but that Eight-Six was fast.

I need a neck and neck battle where I can lose myself completely.

You'll be a worthy opponent...

...Akina's Eight-Six.

So hot...

I wish I could take deliveries in an air-conditioned car, like Iketani and Takumi.

I just don't understand Takumi.

He totally owned Takahashi Keisuke of the Akagi Red Suns.

But he hasn't changed a bit, and doesn't even think of himself as a street racer.

I'd be so hyped up, telling everyone in school how I did this and...

Welcome.

A GT-R ! How awesome !

I'm Nakazato of the Myogi Night Kids.

I was told by the locals that I could contact the Akina Speed Stars here.

You're a member, aren't you ?

Huh ?

Can you tell me when I should visit Akina to see that famous Eight-Six ?

A Speed Stars member...

That sounds so cool.

Hey, do you know what I'm talking about ?

Maybe this's the wrong gas station.

No, you got the right station.

In fact, the Eight-Six driver is a close friend of mine.

Really ?

He and I are the fastest Eight-Six duo among the members.

Is that right ?

Many Eight-Six drivers are very skilled, and I hear good things about the Speed Stars.

I'm so honored.

Anyway, I can get a hold of him.

He's my best friend after all.

Thanks. Make sure you tell him...

...Nakazato of the Night Kids will be waiting on Mt. Akina at 10 pm next Saturday...

...for one downhill match.

Wha...? W...wait ! Please...

Holy crap...

That was...

...a declaration of challenge !

I'm sorry ! So sorry, really sorry !

I apologize !

What a pain.

It must be the black GT-R we saw on Akina.

It's gotta be.

It makes sense. Nakazato of the Night Kids can stack up against Takahashi Ryosuke.

Takumi, I'm not in a place to be asking this, but will you accept his challenge ?

Otherwise, I'll be a burden to them.

I don't get it. Why would you be a burden to them if I don't go ?

People'll speak bad about the Speed Stars for running away.

Street racers...

When it comes to a car race, street racers must accept challenges !

If you like to drive a car, that's enough to be a street racer !

That may be true for street racers, but I'm not a street racer.

Welcome.

Hey, Takumi...

Iketani, what should we do ? We'll be in trouble if Takumi doesn't go.

Well, the GT-R would be too tough, even for Takumi.

Besides, Nakazato of Myogi is a famous street racer just like Akagi's Takahashi brothers.

Given the circumstances, I can't force him into this.

Dad, is the GT-R really that good ?

Yeah, it is.

Could you beat it on the downhill ?

I could.

It's a piece of cake, whether it's a GT-R or a Porsche.

You think I can defeat it ?

You want me to lend you my car ?

No, it's okay.

I see.

Thanks for the food.

So a GT-R will be next, huh ?

Nakazato's GT-R is here again today !

Its exit acceleration is incredible ! How much horsepower does it have ?

It's going to race against the Speed Star's Eight-Six tomorrow, right ? That's all they're talking about.

I smell trouble.

The Night Kids' Nakazato is challenging the Eight-Six, which defeated Red Suns' Takahashi Keisuke.

It's going to be a clash of pride between the two large factions of Akagi and Myogi.

Akina's nights are gonna be super exciting this summer.

That Civic that just went by was really fast.

Sure, the GT-R is a monster, but it's not invincible.

Itsuki, I've thought about it since then.

I'm going to ask Takumi to race tonight.

Even if his opponent is a GT-R, the Eight-Six becomes something else with Takumi behind the wheel.

It turns into an amazing super machine.

I don't think he'll listen.

What ?

He's hated being forced or told what to do since he was little.

He looks reserved, but he's really stubborn.

He's that type.

I see.

Iketani, I'll go to Mt. Akina tonight, and apologize to the GT-R driver.

Itsuki...

I'll explain the circumstances, and kneel down on the ground or whatever.

From the beginning, the Speed Stars had nothing to do with this.

Alright, we'll go too.

Don't mention this to Takumi.

He must have forgotten about it already.

Speaking of which, where's Takumi ?

Oh, he's in the office.

The Manager had something to discuss with him.

Let me make this clear, Takumi.

You shouldn't do this because the GT-R is a nasty opponent.

You're only doing this only to save face for Itsuki, right?

If so, you shouldn't.

You're clueless about cars, so you don't know how great the GT-R is, like a class of its own.

It's got the combined advantage of FR and 4WD thanks to the electrically-controlled torque-split 4WD system.

It's also fast on the downhill because of superb stability.

The RB26 twin turbo engine is monstrous.

It was originally designed to make 600 HP for racing, so you can easily obtain power with a minor modification.

The Eight-Six is totally outclassed.

Besides, your opponent is a famous street racer. This race is really unfair.

You made a name by defeating the Akagi Red Suns, so you'd better cherish it.

You gain nothing by participating in a race you have no chance of winning.

Listen to your elders, okay ?

Thank you for your advice, but...

...I'm not really interested in street racer fame or anything like that.

So you're not going to quit regardless ?

I won't.

If you hype it up like that, I want to find out how great that car really is.

Manager, I'm not afraid of the GT-R.

He bought it.

I can't remember how many times I fooled Bunta this way.

They're so alike, right down to their personality.

It's going to be fun.

Temporarily closed, what the hell ?

I didn't know about this.

We're poor, you can't be slacking off.

Where is the car ?

Dad ?

I can't do anything without the car.

Such a huge gallery.

It looks bigger than the one during the race against Takahashi Keisuke the other day.

I didn't expect this to become such a huge event.
