Initial D Second Stage

THIS IS A WORK OF FICTION.

PLEASE DRIVE SAFE AND FOLLOW THE RULES.

A downhill expert has appeared on Mount Akina.

A young man in his beloved 86 shows stunning drift skills.

This man is the genius street racer, Fujiwara Takumi.

To help with his family's tofu store business,

Takumi's been driving every day before dawn since junior high, rushing through the mountain roads with tofu.

This is actually his father Bunta's secret training program for him.

Takumi drives relentlessly every day and unconsciously hones exquisite skills.

He quickly becomes a hero of Akina. After Takumi becomes the fastest racer in Akina,

various experts from the Gunma region come to challenge him.

Every time Takumi finishes a race, he grows.

Everyone who has seen his racing style is amazed.

And in the end, he finally defeated "The leader of the Gunma racing world", Takahashi Ryosuke.

He created his own brilliant downhill unbeaten myth.

But street racers don't rest.

There are even more difficult battles waiting for this fastest downhill man.

THUNDERS

Damn it.

How could I be looked down upon by someone out of town?

Too easy.

He overtook...

That EVO4 is so fast, right?

Damn it.

EMPEROR

THUNDERS

This is like the shoot-down mark on the old fighter plane.

Cool, right?

We "Emperor" plan to dominate the Gunma region in a month.

LAN EVO is the king of the mountain road.

Watch me!

Hey, Takumi,

after I got used to it, I found a problem.

Isn't my 85 too slow when going uphill?

I want to increase its horsepower a bit.

I've thought about it in private...

I want to install a turbo engine on the 85

to turn it into a super-fast car.

Turbo engine?

Can you install that afterwards?

Isn't it installed when buying the car?

That's correct.

There's something called "bolt-on turbo".

With this, you can install it yourself.

-I see. -If you want to quickly increase horsepower,

installing a turbo engine is the best way.

Maybe after that, my 85 won't lose on the straight roads

even to their S13 and 180.

They will definitely be surprised.

I'm excited just thinking about it.

Itsuki, step aside.

There's a fast car coming from behind.

The other side...

It's a LAN EVO.

LAN EVO?

What's the deal with that car?

It moves so peculiarly.

Did you see?

That astonishing acceleration out of the turn.

-Yes. -That car only has a 2000cc displacement.

But it has 280 horsepower.

This is the power of a turbo engine.

And it's also four-wheel drive.

I see.

It can do those moves because it's four-wheel drive?

A horsepower that two wheels can't handle.

If it's four-wheel, it can do it easily.

My EVO4 is so beautiful.

This car is the model of pursuing running performance.

For example,

it's like the body of a well-trained boxer.

Whether the front spoiler,

the side skirts that stick out,

or the large rear wing,

they all have their meaning.

The LAN EVO was developed for the World Rally Championship.

A technically mature car model.

A high horsepower turbo engine plus four-wheel drive.

Without these conditions,

you can't call it a car.

LAN EVO is the fastest car on the straights.

Kyoichi, let's quickly get rid of all the kids in Gunma who drive rear-wheel drive cars.

That LAN EVO is there too.

I have a bad feeling.

They must be street racers from somewhere else.

Let's just ignore them.

I'm going to buy some canned coffee, what about you?

Alright, I'll have coffee too, thanks.

He...he's heading this way.

Hey.

I want to ask for directions.

Okay...

You'll get there faster by this route.

Really? Thanks.

By the way, I want to ask you something.

Who's the fastest street racer in Akina?

The fastest?

Don't tell me you came to Akina to challenge the 86?

What?

We're going to challenge the 86?

You must be joking, little Levin bro.

Even if we beat the 86, no one would praise us.

We might even be laughed at by our team.

The 86 driver isn't worth our time.

Even if he begged me, I wouldn't race with him.

You...you never saw the 86 from Akina.

Don't say such things lightly.

The 86 from Akina has never lost a race.

Whether the opponent is an FC, FD or R32.

That must be because those opponents were too weak.

They're not weak. They're all top racers in the county.

Oh no...

Top racers, huh?

The level in Gunma is really low.

What...what did you say?

Itsuki, stop.

You too, Seiji.

You don't have to say it like that.

We didn't come here to argue.

I'm sorry, my friend was rude.

No...

I hope you don't misunderstand him.

I do not intend to belittle the driver of the 86.

He should be quite skilled.

But his car isn't that great.

Nowadays, 86 just doesn't cut it.

That's how it is, tell the driver that.

If he switched to a car with a bigger horsepower, I might be able to put up a fight against him.

But we won't lose.

The king of the mountain road is the LAN EVO.

I... I can't stand it.

Takumi, aren't you upset?

Being spoken about like that.

I'm pissed off too.

Then why didn't you say something?

But seeing you so worked up,

it has actually calmed me down.

What's that?

And besides,

there are always people like this.

Even if you talk back, it doesn't change anything.

Whether you're fast or slow, you won't know until you try.

That's true...

But I can't stand it when 86 is laughed at.

I've always admired 86.

Indeed, 86 is an old car.

It doesn't have a turbo engine and it's slow uphill.

But for those who love it,

86 is better than any car.

Don't cry.

Here.

Have some coffee.

Thank you.

Takumi, you can do it, right?

Beat that LAN EVO downhill.

Show that long-haired guy what's what.

Even if you say that...

He said he's not interested in racing with me.
