[00:39] Narration     Environmental concerns and the     increasing scarcity of fossil fuels [00:43] Narration     have led to the cessation in the manufacture     of cars with internal combustion engines. [00:47] Narration     As a result, high-powered sports cars     have become an endangered species. [00:52] Narration     Almost as a requiem to mourn their     imminent passing, a new motorsport series [00:57] Narration     has arisen here in Japan. [01:00] Narration     With a global audience     of 30 million subscribers, [01:05] Narration     it has achieved explosive popularity. [01:09] Narration     The only regulation is     uniform grip-to-weight ratio, [01:15] Narration     resulting in some no-holds-barred,     white-knuckle racing. [01:19] Narration     Its name: MFG.

[01:39] Commentator     Ten seconds to go. [01:40] Commentator     Nine. Eight. Seven. [01:43] Commentator     Six. Five. Four. [01:46] Commentator     Three. Two. One. [01:59] Passenger A     Come on, Aiba. You've got this! [02:01] Passenger B     He's really going for it! [02:04] Kanata     MFG, huh? [02:06] Passenger C     Just once, I wish I could go      see them race in person. [02:10] Passenger D     Not happening. They don't let     spectators line the route, [02:13] Passenger D     and there's still volcanic gas     in the air from that eruption. [02:18] Kanata     My friends in England     were all obsessed with it, too. [02:21] Kanata     Makes sense it's popular here,     as it started in Japan. [02:25] Kanata     I honestly can't make head or tail of     these addresses. Talk about a bad start. [02:32] Ren     Hey, Wakana. [02:33] Wakana     The English guy is showing up today, right? [02:36] Ren     Technically, he's half-English, half-Japanese. [02:40] Ren     You shouldn't get your hopes up, anyway. [02:42] Ren     I don't really get cool vibes from England. [02:45] Wakana     Aw, you're no fun at all. [02:48] Wakana     You'd better introduce me if he's hot! [02:51] Ren     Get real, Wakana. [02:52] Ren     It's because you go after anyone hot     that you always end up with lame guys. [02:58] Ren     I can't even imagine love at first sight. [03:02] (Flashback) Shun     Excuse me. I'm Aiba Shun. [03:04] (Flashback) Shun     I came in ninth last year, and, um,      from the moment I first saw you... [03:11] (Flashback) Shun     A-Anyway, I'm serious! [03:13] (Flashback) Seven     Sorry. [03:14] (Flashback) Shun     That was fast! [03:15] (Flashback) Seven     I don't know how you expect me to react     when you don't know anything about me. [03:20] (Flashback) Aiba     W-Wait, just one thing! [03:22] (Flashback) Aiba     On the MFG Angels' profile page, [03:25] (Flashback) Aiba     you're the only one listed     without any info, right? [03:28] (Flashback) Aiba     Could you at least tell me your name? [03:34] (Flashback) Seven     MFGA Seven. [03:36] (Flashback) Seven     You can call me Number Seven, if you wish. [03:40] Ren     Looks are basically the same as clothes.     They don't reflect who you really are. [03:46] Ren     I wanna fall in love with     a guy who I think is super hot, [03:50] Ren     even if 99% of girls don't     agree with me that he is. [03:57] Ren     I'm home. [03:59] Ren Dad     You're late, Ren. [04:01] Ren Dad     Come in here and let me introduce you. [04:03] Ren     Pretty sure I said I was gonna be late today     because of work. I told Mom, at least. [04:14] Ren Dad     This is Kanata-kun. Mr. Kanata Rivington. [04:17] Ren Dad     He just got in this afternoon. [04:20] Ren Dad     This will be his first time living overseas,      so I'm sure he'll have questions, [04:24] Ren Dad     and I'd appreciate you helping     him as much as you can, Ren. [04:28] Kanata     It's a pleasure to meet you, Ren-san. [04:31] Kanata     You can call me Kanata. [04:36] Ren     I-I... [04:38] Ren     Uh, I have math homework, so... [04:44] Ren Dad     Well, she's at an awkward age. [04:48] Ren Dad     I have to say, I'm impressed by     how fluent your Japanese is. [04:52] Kanata     My mum taught me when I was still young. [04:56] Ren Dad     I see. [04:57] Ren Dad     It's a real shame what     happened to Katherine. [05:01] Ren Dad     You remind me a lot of her      when she was younger. [05:09] Ren     Crap. [05:11] Ren     I feel like I just got shocked     with a million volts. [05:15] Ren     Why's my heart still pounding? [05:17] Ren     I'm not supposed to judge     people by appearances. [05:21] Ren     So... what is this feeling?

[05:32] Wakana     So how'd it go? [05:34] Ren     How'd what go? [05:35] Wakana     Isn't it obvious?     Your houseguest from England. [05:40] Ren     I... don't really know. [05:42] Wakana     What the heck? You could     at least show me a picture. [05:46] Ren     I didn't take one. [05:48] Ren     He's sticking around for a while,      so just come by and see him. [05:51] Wakana     That's so hot! Shacking up     with some half-English guy... [05:56] Wakana     What's he in Japan for, anyway?      Just vacation stuff? [05:59] Ren     I dunno. Come to think of it,     I didn't really ask about anything. [06:04] Sign     Ogata Automotive Ltd. [06:10] Kanata     Is this it? [06:12] Sign     Qualifying Run [06:14] Kanata     Excuse me. [06:16] Ogata     Right on time! [06:18] Ogata     Uh... Are you Kanata Rivington? [06:21] Kanata     And you're Ogata-san, yes? [06:24] Kanata     It's a pleasure. I'm Kanata. [06:26] Ogata     Oh, you actually speak     Japanese? That's a relief. [06:29] Sign     Ogata Automotive [06:30] Ogata     I hear you went to a     famous English racing school? [06:34] Ogata     I thought Saionji-san was joking      when he brought it up. [06:39] Ogata     So I'm sure you're aware, [06:40] Ogata     but MFG has a bit of a weird rule     about standardized grip-to-weight ratio. [06:46] Ogata     The strongest cars tend to be     European models with lots of horsepower [06:50] Ogata     and good balance, without a lot of modding. [06:52] Ogata     As a result, people complain about the rule,     calling it the "rich man's regulation." [06:57] Ogata     Which is why I'm not able to     provide you with a competitive vehicle, [07:01] Ogata     looking at the big picture     of MFG performance. [07:04] Kanata     I've heard. [07:06] Kanata     But I'll be happy just     getting to experience MFG. [07:10] Ogata     Okay! In that case,     I'll support you in any way I can. [07:16] Ogata     Care to take a look at the car? [07:24] Kanata     Wow. [07:27] Kanata     Good. [07:29] Kanata     It's so cool. [07:30] Ogata     You don't have to flatter me.     It's just an old-fashioned three-pedaler. [07:34] Ogata     Can you work with it? [07:35] Kanata     No problem. [07:37] Kanata     Back at the academy, H-pattern shifters     with three pedals was the standard. [07:41] Ogata     I've already taken care of your entry. [07:43] Ogata     You're running on the seventh     and final day of qualifying. [07:47] Sign     1st Odahara Pikes Peak Official Qualifying Run [07:47] Sign     Qualifying Run [07:53] Ren     Huh? [07:55] Ren     What a coincidence. [07:56] Kanata     Sure seems like it. [07:58] Kanata     Are you on your way home     from school, Ren-san? [08:00] Ren     You can drop the "san." [08:02] Ren     For one thing, I'm younger      than you. Just "Ren" is fine. [08:07] Ren     Where are you coming back from, Kanata? [08:09] Kanata     I went over to Tokyo to visit     the British embassy in Yotsuya. [08:14] Kanata     I also bought a new cell phone. [08:16] Ren     Really? In that case, let's swap contact info. [08:21] Ren     Not, like, in that way... [08:22] Ren     But it means, if you need help at all,     you can get in touch with me right away. [08:26] Kanata     Good idea. Hang on a minute. [08:37] Kanata     You had work yesterday,     right, Ren? What about today? [08:41] Ren     My job's a little, uh, irregular. [08:45] Ren     It's maybe two or three days a week,     then there's a big gap until the next time. [08:49] Kanata     I see. [08:50] Ren     I actually wanted to ask     you something, Kanata. [08:54] Ren     Could we take a picture together? [08:56] Kanata     A picture? [08:58] Ren     When I told my friend about you,     she wanted to see what you look like. [09:01] Ren     Is it okay? [09:02] Ren     Here I go. Smile! [09:06] Ren     That turned out great! Wanna see? [09:10] Kanata     Photos aren't my thing. [09:13] Ren     What made you want to leave home      and come to Japan, Kanata? [09:21] Kanata     I don't mind making an     exception and telling you, Ren. [09:25] Kanata     I came to Japan for two reasons. [09:27] Kanata     Well, really, it's only one. [09:30] Ren     What's that? [09:34] Kanata     To find my missing father.

[10:10] Ren     I guess Kanata really is hot? [10:15] (Flashback) Ren     What's this? [10:16] (Flashback) Kanata     A picture from 20 years ago. [10:19] (Flashback) Kanata     And the only one I have of my father. [10:22] (Flashback) Kanata     I love that photo because of how     happy my mother looks in it. [10:27] (Flashback) Kanata     It was taken in a town called Kamakura. [10:30] (Flashback) Kanata     I decided that, if I ever made it to Japan,     I'd find the location in that photo. [10:37] (Flashback) Ren     Kamakura's pretty close by. I know it. [10:41] (Flashback) Ren     Do you mind if I help you find it, Kanata? [10:45] (Flashback) Ren     It's just a really romantic idea, that's all. [10:48] (Flashback) Ren     I want to help you find this place. [10:52] (Flashback) Ren     What's wrong, Kanata? [10:55] (Flashback) Kanata     Why are you so kind to me, Ren? [10:59] (Flashback) Kanata     I don't really know how     to express my gratitude. [11:04] (Flashback) Kanata     You and your father have     just been so wonderful. [11:08] (Flashback) Kanata     I can't thank you enough. [11:11] (Flashback) Kanata     Japanese people are amazing. [11:19] Yamashita     It's not happening, Aiba-san. [11:22] Aiba     Aw, come on. Don't be such a stickler.

[11:27] Aiba     You've posted all kinds of stuff     about the other Angels. [11:31] Yamashita     That kind of personal information     is confidential. No exceptions. [11:34] Aiba     Then, could you at least tell me     which race she's working next? [11:38] Yamashita     Hm, let's see... [11:40] Lady Clerk     Katagiri Kanata-san.      If you'll just sign here. [11:44] Kanata     Right. [11:46] Aiba     Never seen him before. Is he a rookie? [11:52] Aiba     Hey, man. [11:54] Aiba     You entering MFG? [11:56] Kanata     That's right. Who are you? [11:58] Aiba     I'm Aiba Shun. I'm ranked      a dizzyingly high ninth. [12:02] Kanata     Oh, I know you! Aiba in the Nissan GT-R! [12:05] Kanata     This is great! It's truly an honor! [12:08] Kanata     People love your GT-R back in England. [12:11] Aiba     England? [12:12] Kanata     Yes! I arrived from there two days ago. [12:15] Kanata     I'm Kanata Rivi—Wait, no. [12:17] Kanata     My name is Katagiri Kanata.     I'm running on the last day of qualifying. [12:21] Aiba     You sure you're gonna be okay?      This is MFG we're talking about. [12:25] Aiba     Well, I guess it's fine.     I bet we met for a reason. [12:29] Aiba     I don't mind taking you     under my wing for a bit. [12:31] Aiba     Listen up, Kanata.     From now on, you call me "Senpai." [12:35] Aiba     We're big sticklers for the beauty of      tradition around here. You follow? [12:39] Kanata     Yes, sir, Aiba-senpai! [12:41] Aiba     Aw, man. I love how earnest this dude is. [12:45] Sign     Odawara      Office [12:45] Aiba     Did you eat yet? I'll treat you to a     great Japanese lunch. Follow me. [12:49] Kanata     Sir! [12:51] Commentator     He's steadily moving up the times     through Sector 3 of the course! [12:54] Commentator     There's only one car     between him and top spot! [12:56] Commentator     Michael Beckenbauer's     showing no sign of weakness! [13:00] Kanata     Am I imagining it or is that     Porsche smaller than a regular one? [13:01] Sign     Curry [13:01] Sign     Beef Bowl [13:01] Sign     Beef Bowl + Curry [13:01] Sign     Open [13:04] Aiba     It's a Cayman. They're about     a size smaller than the 911. [13:09] Aiba     You seriously didn't know that? [13:12] Aiba     Beckenbauer's straight out of     Porsche's motorsports program. [13:15] Aiba     He's some kinda super-elite racer. [13:17] Aiba     He would probably have been a     Le Mans driver in the good old days. [13:21] Sign     Qualifying Run / 1st Position [13:22] Aiba     Oh, great. He's made it to     the top of the leaderboard. [13:25] Aiba     How the hell is he managing these times     with the kind of power a Cayman has? [13:31] Server     Here you are. [13:33] Aiba     Go ahead and eat up. [13:35] Aiba     Beef bowls are a delicacy. [13:37] Kanata     Thank you for the food. [13:40] Aiba     How old are you anyway, Kanata? [13:42] Kanata     I'm 19. [13:44] Aiba     Damn, that's young. [13:45] Aiba     Five years younger than me. [13:49] Aiba     Wait, you don't know how to use chopsticks? [13:52] Aiba     Hey, miss. Could you bring this guy a spoon? [13:58] Sign     Ogata Automotive Ltd. [14:00] Kanata     Are you around, Ogata-san? [14:03] Ogata     Oh, hey, Kanata. [14:05] Ogata     What's up? [14:06] Kanata     I wanted to see if there was     anything I could help you with. [14:11] Ogata     Yeah, sure. I was looking     to take a break, anyway. [14:15] Sign     Koala's [14:15] Sign     March [14:19] Kanata     It's good. [14:20] Kanata     They don't have snacks anywhere     near as good as this in England. [14:24] Kanata     Japan is unbelievable. [14:26] Kanata     Between this and beef bowls,     it's like everything you guys eat is amazing. [14:31] Ogata     You're exaggerating. [14:33] Ogata     I'll admit the snacks here are good, though. [14:36] Ogata     To tell you the truth, Kanata,     one of my cars has raced in MFG before. [14:42] Ogata     It hasn't been refitted since,     so it should easily pass the inspection, [14:46] Ogata     and there's no real need      to make big changes. [14:48] Kanata     Who was the driver? [14:52] Kanata     You, Ogata-san? Wow! [14:54] Ogata     I guess. Call it a youthful misadventure. [14:57] Ogata     I used to race back then, and was     pretty confident about my skills... [15:01] Ogata     But I didn't amount to much. [15:05] Ogata     The downhill stretch in     Sector 3 scared me so bad, [15:07] Ogata     by the time I crossed the finish line,     I was heartbroken and exhausted. [15:12] Ogata     What it boils down to is I'm better suited     to tinkering with cars than driving them. [15:17] Sign     Ogata Automotive [15:17] Ogata     Can't deny how much I love these     old gasoline models, though. [15:25] Ren     I don't think this is it. [15:28] Ren     The buildings in the background     seem totally different. [15:31] Ren     I'm pretty sure it was taken on the     grounds of a shrine or a temple... [15:36] Ren     And wouldn't you know it? Kamakura's     absolutely crawling with spots like that. [15:41] Ren     We'll have to use process of     elimination to work through them. [15:45] Ren     Let's stay strong! [15:48] Kanata     It really does feel strange, being here. [15:53] Kanata     So much so, it's hard for me      to put it into Japanese. [15:57] Ren     What do you mean? [15:58] Kanata     My mother met my father here     when she was still just a teenager. [16:04] Kanata     They fell in love,     lived together, then I was born. [16:09] Kanata     Being here in Kamakura is unbelievable.     Like something out of a dream. [16:15] Kanata     It feels like I've come to     the hometown of my heart. [16:20] Kanata     I've wanted to visit      ever since I was small. [16:23] Ren     Kanata... [16:26] Ren     Hey, Kanata, let's make an offering. [16:38] Ren     He's so earnest. [16:40] Ren     It's adorable. [16:41] Sign     Asakura Komachi Road [16:43] Kanata     What did you wish for, Ren? [16:46] Ren     I'm not saying. [16:48] Ren     If you tell someone else,     the gods might not hear you. [16:58] Ren     Crap, it's already late! [17:01] Ren     Remember, Mom, I've got work today! [17:04] Mayuko     I know. [17:05] Mayuko     Don't trip in your rush. [17:07] Mayuko     Be careful. [17:08] Ren     I'm off! [17:11] Kanata     Ren's got work today? [17:14] Kanata     And I have an event of my own. [17:18] Joyu     Hello. This is Joyu     with the Tokyo Main Office. [17:22] Joyu     The Executive Organizer     made a direct request. [17:25] Joyu     There's a name on the entry list      he was hoping to meet. [17:29] Joyu     Kanata Rivington, 19 years old. [17:32] Joyu     He's a British citizen. [17:36] Joyu     Not there? That's odd. [17:38] Joyu     Did the kid Ryosuke mentioned not show up? [17:43] Commentator     Hello there to the 30 million     MFG fans across the globe! [17:47] Commentator     I'm MFG's walking encyclopedia, Tanaka Yoji,     and I'll be providing live commentary today. [17:52] Commentator     It's finally the seventh     and last day of qualifying, [17:55] Commentator     and this round has been typified by a lot     of shakeups at the top of the timesheets. [18:00] Commentator     Thanks to aggressive moves     by the Porsche camp, [18:03] Commentator     the Italian big hitters, Ferrari     and Lamborghini, have struggled. [18:08] Commentator     The hope of home nation manufacturers,     Aiba Shun and his GT-R, is currently in fifth. [18:13] Commentator     Odawara's own "Kamikaze     Outlaw" is making waves. [18:18] Commentator     Only 15 of the 302 entrants     will make it into the race proper, [18:23] Commentator     earning them the title     of the "Godly Fifteen." [18:25] Kanata     The "Godly Fifteen"? [18:27] Ogata     Well, we gotta worry about     qualifying before anything else. [18:31] Ogata     The new set of tires I put on      should last for three races. [18:35] Kanata     Ogata-san, I apologize if the tires      are worn out after this race. [18:40] Kanata     It's better if I warn you in advance. [18:43] Commentator     And there's the board. We have 10 seconds     left before the first racer takes off. [18:48] Commentator     It's being held up by Number Seven,     a new addition to the Angels this year. [18:51] Commentator     I'm personally a big fan. [18:55] Commentator     Look at those curves!     It's enough to take your breath away! [18:59] Aiba     Shut the hell up, Tanaka. [19:01] Aiba     Where do you get off,     creeping on my Number Seven? [19:04] Commentator     And there's the start! [19:07] Aiba     Just the sight of her makes my heart hurt.      Number Seven, my darling... [19:11] Kanata     Oh, Aiba-senpai! [19:13] Ogata     Oh, hey, if it isn't Shun! It's been a while. [19:17] Aiba     Is that you, Ogata? [19:18] Ogata     What're you doing here?     Didn't you already set a time? [19:22] Aiba     Well, I, uh... [19:25] Aiba     I'm here to root for Kanata,     of course. I'm kinda worried. [19:28] Ogata     How do you even know Kanata? [19:31] Kanata     Aiba-senpai bought me a beef bowl. [19:35] Aiba     I ran into him at the office. [19:37] Ogata     Wow, that's a hell of a coincidence. [19:39] Ogata     Talk about a small world. [19:41] Ogata     Anyway, the chitchat will have to wait.     We've only got 10 minutes until the off. [19:45] Ogata     Let's hurry, Kanata. [19:46] Aiba     You need any help? Which car is it? [19:49] Ogata     The one I used to race in. [19:51] Ogata     There it is. [20:01] Aiba     Number 86. [20:07] Kanata     Good. [20:09] Aiba     Got a few crucial pieces of info     for you to remember, Kanata. [20:13] Aiba     The most important thing about      qualifying is to finish the lap. [20:18] Aiba     Don't go damaging the car. [20:20] Aiba     A lap around Odawara Pikes Peak is 40 km. [20:23] Aiba     That makes it the longest MFG course. [20:26] Aiba     I've been doing this for a while, and even     I don't have the whole thing memorized. [20:31] Aiba     You scope it out at all     on the official website? [20:33] Kanata     I've got the course     layout memorized, Senpai. [20:36] Aiba     No way. How many hundreds      of times did that take? [20:38] Kanata     I think... only three? [20:41] Aiba     This is no time for jokes, Kanata. [20:45] Aiba     Listen up. This thing     doesn't have a ton of power, [20:48] Aiba     so you'll wanna go uphill at around 70%. [20:51] Aiba     It's hell going downhill. [20:53] Aiba     For Sector 3 in particular, you'll wanna     pull back to around 50-60% there. [20:58] Aiba     I think you'll understand what     I'm saying once you've finished. [21:03] Aiba     Okay, get to it. [21:04] Staff     Car 86, please proceed     to the inspection table.

[02:28] Commentator     He hits the incline with     the pedal to the metal. [02:31] Commentator     What kind of run will we see from     this challenger from England today? [02:36] Commentator     Let's watch and find out! [02:40] Ren Dad     I'm surprised. [02:42] Ren Dad     I didn't expect him to enter under     his father's family name, Katagiri. [02:46] Mayuko     Maybe he's trying to send a message. [02:49] Mayuko     He might be reaching out to Ken-chan,     who he hopes is watching somewhere. [02:56] Mayuko     Telling him "Your son, Kanata,     is right here," without outright saying it. [03:03] Ren Dad     He'd really go that far to reach out to the     father who abandoned him and his mother? [03:10] Mayuko     He's the only one who can     know how he really feels. [03:16] Mayuko     His mother's passed on, he's left the     country he lived in with his grandparents, [03:20] Mayuko     and he's come to a     foreign land all by himself. [03:28] Mayuko     Just thinking about how he might     be feeling makes my chest hurt. [03:34] Mayuko     It's so sad, I can't bear to watch. [03:39] Ogata     It's Ogata. Am I coming through clearly? [03:42] Kanata     Loud and clear, Ogata-san. [03:44] Ogata     This is a long course.     Try to keep your focus. Over. [03:48] Kanata     Roger. [03:49] Aiba     I gotta say, Ogata... [03:51] Sign     Qualifying Run [03:51] Aiba     Number 86? I'm surprised you     managed to get a two-digit number. [03:55] Ogata     I didn't really think we'd get it     either when I put in for it, [03:59] Ogata     but luckily for us, it wasn't being used. [04:06] Aiba     Sector 1's looking rough so far. [04:09] Aiba     Dunno how you expect him to compete     in a manual with an H-pattern shifter. [04:14] Aiba     Paddle shifters with dual clutch is the     standard now. Anything else is a handicap. [04:20] Aiba     Huh? [04:22] Aiba     54th place? You gotta be kidding me. [04:24] Aiba     Must be some kind of system error.     Happens all the time. [04:29] Aiba     There's no way your busted     old 86 car could be so high up. [04:32] Ogata     Hey! Less of the "busted," Shun. [04:35] Ogata     That said, I agree it's probably an error. [04:51] Aiba     Holy crap. It says he's up to 53rd. [04:54] Ogata     It's not an error. Look at that! [04:56] Ogata     The central computer's     stuck an attention flag on the 86. [05:01] Aiba     No way. That's impossible. [05:05] Commentator     Oh! What's this? [05:06] Commentator     Car 86 has been marked     with an attention flag. [05:10] Commentator     From memory, the only other driver     to manage that feat in his debut event [05:14] Commentator     was Michael Beckenbauer last year. [05:18] Commentator     The 19-year-old Katagiri Kanata is on a roll! [05:25] Aiba     This doesn't make any sense. The top 100... [05:29] Aiba     hell, the top 200 is full of cars with     more horsepower than Kanata's 86. [05:34] Aiba     So how is he so high up on the timing charts? [05:37] Ogata     I guess it means Kanata's cornering      is just that much faster. [05:42] Aiba     It's not that simple, Ogata. [05:43] Aiba     No, it can't be that. The grip-to-weight ratio      of MFG poses a real issue in that regard. [05:50] Aiba     Shaving off a bit of time     in corners won't help much. [05:53] Aiba     In Sector 1, sheer grunt is     the only way to get ahead. [05:58] Ogata     You say that, but... [06:02] (Flashback) Ogata     The thing about a uniform      grip-to-weight ratio is... [06:05] (Flashback) Ogata     the heavier the car, the fatter its tires. [06:08] (Flashback) Ogata     This means a mid-engine design and     four-wheel drive are disadvantages. [06:12] (Flashback) Ogata     And sinking money into reducing weight     means thinner tires, which defeats the object. [06:17] (Flashback) Ogata     There's no limit on engine power, but if     you go too hard, your tires won't hold up. [06:22] (Flashback) Ogata     Even many of the top teams haven't      figured out the optimal balance yet. [06:27] (Flashback) Ogata     Which is why European models     that are balanced and powerful [06:30] (Flashback) Ogata     without needing to be modded      have come out on top so far. [06:34] (Flashback) Ogata     But it's also why the rule gets mocked     and called the "rich man's regulation." [06:39] (Flashback) Kanata     I'm not quite sure that's right. [06:43] (Flashback) Kanata     There has to be another way. [06:46] (Flashback) Kanata     I have to admit, this is     every bit as exciting as I'd hoped. [06:50] (Flashback) Kanata     Grip-to-weight ratio being the only rule... [06:54] (Flashback) Kanata     Who could've come up with an idea like that? [06:57] (Flashback) Ogata     Probably MFG's executive organizer.     Some guy named Ryo Takahashi. [07:04] (Flashback) Ogata     Despite how big MFG has gotten,     no one knows how old he is or where he's from. [07:10] (Flashback) Ogata     And he never shows his face.     He's a real man of mystery. [07:14] (Flashback) Kanata     I think he might be incredibly smart. [07:18] (Flashback) Kanata     In Japanese, you'd call him      a "tensai." A genius. [07:24] Aiba     Kanata said that? [07:29] Commentator     The 86 car is nearly done with Sector 1. [07:32] Commentator     He's moved up again and     is currently in 52nd place! [07:35] Ogata     It's all downhill from this point. [07:38] Ogata     That means more weight to the front,     so adjust your brake balance. Over. [07:43] Kanata     The switch on panel three, right? [07:45] Ogata     That's the one. [07:47] Kanata     I'm getting a bit more used to the car now. [07:49] Kanata     I'll try to pick up the pace. [07:51] Aiba     Huh? Did you hear that? [07:54] Aiba     So he's been taking it easy up to now? [07:58] Aiba     Who the heck is this Kanata kid? [08:00] Aiba     What's his past record like? [08:03] Ogata     I don't really know. Someone     I trust made the introductions... [08:07] Ogata     And when I met him,     he seemed like a good guy. [08:10] Ogata     All I know for sure is he went to     a famous racing school in England. [08:25] Kanata     Fantastic job, Ogata-san. [08:27] Kanata     The balance of the car's underbody     is spot-on, brakes included. [08:31] Kanata     With this baby... [08:33] Kanata     I may even be able to do     what I came here for. [08:41] Commentator     He's broken into the top 50!     Talk about rapid! He's blazing downhill! [08:47] Commentator     It feels like we're witnessing     the birth of a superstar! [08:50] Commentator     Katagiri Kanata, only 19 years of age! [08:53] Joyu     Are you kidding me? Damn. [08:55] Joyu     Get me Maebashi... No, put me through     to Ryosuke direct. It's an emergency! [09:04] Joyu     It's me, Ryosuke.     Are you watching the race live? [09:07] Ryosuke     No. I'm doing a pretty big procedure soon,     so I was prepping for that. What's going on? [09:14] Joyu     He's actually here. Fujiwara's student. [09:18] Joyu     But he entered under the name     Katagiri instead of Rivington. [09:21] Joyu     I can't believe I missed him. [09:23] Ryosuke     I see. Well, that's good news. [09:27] Ryosuke     Keep your eyes on that driver, Fumihiro. [09:30] Joyu     Well, the AI's already got     an attention flag on him, so... [09:36] Ryosuke     He's got the potential to figure out     and overcome the rule I introduced... [09:41] Ryosuke     as part of MFG's new generation. [09:45] Ryosuke     Surgery time. Hanging up. [09:51] Joyu     Curt as always. [09:54] Joyu     And what's this stuff about     "figuring out" the rule, anyway? [09:58] Joyu     You never mentioned that to me before. [10:01] Joyu     Ryosuke! [10:04] Commentator     Car 86 is climbing the leaderboard     at an unbelievable rate! [10:09] Commentator     He's currently 44th. [10:11] Commentator     Once past the large torii gate, the course     veers away from the shoreline and back uphill. [10:27] Commentator     Car 86 has dropped down a place. [10:30] Commentator     He's losing a bit of speed going uphill. [10:32] Commentator     It seems the Toyota 86 GT has a displacement     disadvantage next to the competition. [10:37] Commentator     Once the course passes the highest point     on the old Route 1, it enters Sector 3. [10:42] Commentator     And it's no exaggeration     to say that the gains [10:44] Commentator     made on this stretch are what racing     on Odawara Pikes Peak is all about! [10:49] Kanata     Ogata-san, I'm gonna try     and pick up the pace a bit more. [10:52] Aiba     That idiot. Gimme the headset, Ogata! [10:55] Ogata     Ow, ow. What are you doing? [10:58] Aiba     You're heading into Sector 3.      Quit screwing around! [11:01] Aiba     Damn it, Kanata! Did you forget my advice? [11:04] Aiba     If a rookie who doesn't know the course     attacks it too hard here, he might die! Over! [11:08] Kanata     Don't worry, Aiba-senpai. [11:11] Kanata     You see, this course... [11:12] Kanata     A movie of it is playing in my head. [11:14] Kanata     I need to focus now, so forgive me      for the radio silence. Over. [11:22] Commentator     And so, he crosses into the steep downhill     section that sends you plunging 864 meters [11:27] Commentator     like a meteor toward the finish line. [11:31] Commentator     It'll be a challenge for     rookie Katagiri Kanata. [11:34] Commentator     Will he taste glory or     bitter disappointment? [11:46] Sign     MF Ghost [11:47] Sign     MF Ghost [11:47] Sign     MF Ghost [11:47] Sign     MF Ghost [11:48] Ren     MF Ghost.

I'm gonna     slug him when he gets back. [12:00] Aiba     That's what happens when you     don't respect your senpai's advice. [12:04] Aiba     I get that you've got     a great driving technique, [12:07] Aiba     but a rich kid who     grew up driving on circuits [12:09] Aiba     won't understand how scary     a natural downhill course can be. [12:13] Aiba     The stuff they teach you in school is     always useless out in the real world. [12:18] Aiba     Don't you get that, Kanata? [12:33] Ogata     What's going on here? [12:35] Ogata     Every time he goes through     a checkpoint, he gains places. [12:41] Joyu     This is amazing. [12:43] Joyu     I guess it should be expected from     a student of a legendary downhill racer. [13:02] Aiba     The 86 is moving around like a go-kart.     It could spin out at any moment. [13:07] Aiba     Hell, it's already halfway there. [13:12] Aiba     Is he serious about driving on the edge     like this all the way to the finish? [13:16] Aiba     Are you nuts, Kanata? [13:20] Aiba     I think he might be serious about trying     to set a time that gets him into the race. [13:24] Ogata     You mean, break into the Godly Fifteen? [13:27] Ogata     There's no way. That's completely     impossible. I mean, he's in an 86. [13:33] Aiba     It's not very likely,     but it's not impossible. [13:37] Aiba     With that being the case, we'd be     better off not insisting that he brakes more. [13:42] Aiba     It might even be safer to help him     maintain his crazy motivation. [13:48] Aiba     I know more about     a driver's psychology than you. [13:52] Aiba     How's this for a plan? [13:56] Ogata     That can't be a good idea.     That's like telling him to go on the attack. [14:01] Aiba     Don't worry about it. Have faith in Kanata. [14:04] Aiba     That kid... [14:06] Aiba     I dunno what it is, but his driving     is beyond what you can imagine. [14:11] Aiba     I got the fifth best time, so I can tell. [14:13] Aiba     There's something fundamentally     different about where he's at. [14:18] Aiba     Come on, quick. Tell him, Ogata. [14:21] Ogata     Ogata here. Just giving you     an update. No need to respond. [14:27] Ogata     There's 26 cars ahead of you. Over! [14:30] Kanata     Good job, Ogata-san.     That's just what I wanted to know. [14:44] Commentator     The way he's shot up the leaderboard     since entering Sector 3 is dizzying. [14:48] Commentator     Can this really be     a rookie in his first race? [14:52] Commentator     This Katagiri Kanata kid is     displaying unimaginable potential! [14:56] Commentator     And with a driving style that     has a whiff of danger about it, [15:01] Commentator     he approaches Odawara Pikes     Peak's infamous death zone! [15:08] Seven     The commentator, Tanaka-san,     seems really hyped up. [15:12] Seven     There's a real buzz in the air. [15:17] Seven     Kanata's in the mountains of Hakone. [15:20] Seven     Oh, Kanata, you stupid idiot!     You never said anything about racing in MFG. [15:26] Seven     Hakone's mountains are filled with tigers     and leopards and crocodiles and bears. [15:31] Seven     There's fearsome beasts around     every corner. It's incredibly dangerous. [15:36] Seven     It's no place for a good-natured boy like you. [15:41] Seven     You're a stupid liar, Kanata. [15:46] Seven     You told me you came to     Japan to find your father. [15:52] Commentator     Cast your eye on this. See how the whole area     around old Kawaki-en is shrouded in mist? [15:59] Commentator     Ever since Mount Fuji's north side     erupted a few years ago, [16:01] Commentator     depending on the wind, this area can     become choked with volcanic gases. [16:06] Commentator     Year after year, this abandoned     hot springs district is beset by thick fog. [16:13] Commentator     You might even say they're clouds     of death that wander a ghost town. [16:19] Commentator     And there goes the 86 car. [16:25] Commentator     Into the death zone! [16:28] Ogata     Hey, hold on. Is it just me or     is the fog even thicker than usual? [16:33] Aiba     Odawara Pikes Peak sees a lot of accidents,     and most of them happen around here. [16:38] Aiba     Even veterans tend to     prefer to play it safe here. [16:50] Aiba     He talks a big game about knowing     the course, and so far, he's proved it. [16:57] Aiba     Visibility might be nil, [16:59] Aiba     but he has a good idea how far apart the     corners are, and which direction they go in. [17:04] Aiba     You can see it by the lines he's taking. [17:07] Aiba     But a 2D map in your head     isn't gonna help here. [17:13] Aiba     This isn't a circuit. A public road     has gaps in the asphalt and dips. [17:19] Aiba     You could be braking and have     the Gs drop out from under you, [17:23] Aiba     or hit a patch that sends you two meters     off-line in a corner. Plenty of spots like that. [17:29] Sign     Qualifying Run [17:29] Aiba     Unless you know what you're dealing with and     how the car will react, you're bound to crash. [17:34] Aiba     So how's Kanata pulling this off? [17:37] (Flashback) Kanata     You see, this course... [17:39] (Flashback) Kanata     A movie of it is playing in my head. [17:42] Aiba     What did he mean by a movie? [17:45] Aiba     Is he talking about the demo runs     on the official website? [17:49] Aiba     But that's... [17:51] Aiba     Odawara Pikes Peak is 40 kilometers long. [17:54] Aiba     He can't possibly have memorized all of it. [18:15] Ogata     I'm freaking out, Shun. [18:17] Ogata     Kanata can't see a thing, and watching him     go into corners at these kind of speeds... [18:22] Ogata     It's crazy scary. I can barely watch. [18:26] Ogata     I'm so nervous,     I'm starting to feel nauseous. [18:33] Ogata     Oh, man. I think I really might puke. [18:36] Aiba     Get a grip, Ogata. [18:38] Aiba     And do your job. [18:40] Ogata     Ogata here. [18:42] Ogata     You have 16 cars left. I repeat, 16 left. [18:46] Ogata     Over! [18:51] Commentator     The 86 car is nearly into     the points-paying positions! [18:55] Commentator     He shows no signs of flinching in the face     of the danger presented by the death zone! [19:00] Commentator     We're seeing an otherworldly performance     here from 19-year-old Katagiri Kanata! [19:07] Ogata     He might actually bag some points.

[19:21] Aiba     Even scoring a tenth of a point     comes with plenty of benefits. [19:26] Aiba     You get your tires free, and they set you up      with a booth without you needing to ask. [19:33] Aiba     But best of all is you get your     car number highlighted in gold. [19:39] Aiba     It looks so sweet. Plus, it's a mark of pride     for racers who have scored points. [19:45] Ogata     That's plenty for me. [19:48] Ogata     I would never ask to make the Godly Fifteen. [19:52] Ogata     Just don't do anything     crazy out there, Kanata. [19:56] Ogata     You can total the car for all I care.     Just make it back in one piece, [20:01] Ogata     and I'll welcome you back with a hug! [20:12] Commentator     Hard on the brakes as the steep     downhill slope leads into a 90 left! [20:16] Commentator     He blazes through the     Miyanoshita intersection in style! [20:20] Commentator     Would you look at that? [20:21] Commentator     The footage from Car 86's drone     clearly shows a total lack of visibility. [20:28] Commentator     It's enough to give you chills. [20:31] Commentator     Yet he's managed to slip past     eight cars in the death zone. [20:35] Commentator     I'm at a loss here, folks. [20:37] Commentator     I don't have the vocabulary to describe     what the 86 is accomplishing here! [20:44] Commentator     That's 26th place! [20:49] Commentator     That's 25th!

[00:44] Joyu     That's Fujiwara Takumi's     super high-speed four-wheel drift! [00:50] Ogata     Ogata here! 9 cars left! Over! [00:59] Commentator     What we're seeing now was unthinkable     before the 86 plunged into Sector 3... [01:04] Commentator     But at this point, it's hard     not to get your hopes up! [01:11] Commentator     I can just imagine what     all 30 million MFG viewers... [01:14] Commentator     ...across the world are thinking right now. [01:17] Commentator     And I guarantee I'm right     on the money with this. [01:21] Commentator     To put it plainly... [01:24] Commentator     "Katagiri Kanata...     I wanna see this guy in the actual race!" [01:51] Sign     MF Ghost [02:59] Sign     m 0 0 l 100 0 100 100 0 100 [02:59] Sign     The Kamaboko     Straight [03:04] Commentator     I have an interesting nugget of info     for all of you MFG watchers. [03:10] Sign     Qualifying Run [03:10] Commentator     Now, this is only tentative     for now, but the 86... [03:14] Commentator     ...has been streaking through Sector 3     a tad faster than the record for this stretch. [03:20] Commentator     The current holder of the record is the     Stuttgart Slayer, Michael Beckenbauer! [03:26] Commentator     Are we about to witness     Katagiri Kanata smashing his record? [03:29] Sign     m 0 0 l 100 0 100 100 0 100 [03:29] Sign     Name [03:29] Sign     Age [03:29] Sign     years old [03:29] Sign     Height [03:29] Sign     Nationality [03:29] Sign     Germany [03:29] Sign     Car [03:31] Commentator     It's impossible to look away! [03:39] Agnes     Did you hear that? [03:41] Sign     Qualifying Run [03:42] Agnes     What will you do about it, Michael? [03:44] Michael     Nothing. There's no need. [03:47] Sign     Qualifying Run [03:48] Michael     It's obvious at a glance that     this red car is down on power. [03:52] Sign     Qualifying Run [03:58] Michael     He's torturing those tires so bad,     I almost feel sorry for them. [04:07] Michael     The course levels out soon, and there's      a long straight just before the finish line. [04:12] Michael     He'll bleed time there. [04:15] Michael     I wasn't particularly attached     to that record anyway. [04:18] Michael     There's lots of ways to shave off time, [04:21] Michael     because I leave plenty     of margin when I drive. [04:26] Michael     Most top-level drivers have     a kind of mental gear shifter. [04:31] Michael     So for example, if my     mental setup has five gears... [04:37] Michael     It's like that. [04:39] Michael     To be honest, I haven't used     top gear once since starting in MFG. [04:44] Michael     Fourth gear has been enough      to get me to the top. [04:48] Michael     And that pretty much sums up MFG, Sis. [04:52] Michael     It's boring. [04:54] Michael     Once this season's title fight      is done and dusted, [04:57] Michael     I'm hopping on the first plane     back to Deutschland in the fall. [05:00] Agnes     What's this? It hasn't even been a year      and you're already homesick? [05:06] Agnes     You missing Mama's home-cooking     that badly? You're such a spoiled brat. [05:10] Michael     It's not like that. [05:12] Michael     And if you're going to jump to simplistic     conclusions, I won't bother explaining. [05:18] Agnes     Seems like a waste when it's     so easy to make money over here. [05:22] Agnes     You've been a pretentious pain in     the butt ever since you were little. [05:26] Agnes     Suit yourself. [05:29] Agnes     But just so you know, I'm staying. [05:32] Agnes     Tokyo's too much fun. The thought     of going home makes me shudder. [05:48] Commentator     His on-the-edge all-out assault continues! [05:52] Commentator     And he's maintaining his     sector record-beating pace! [06:05] Commentator     He's got a razor-sharp driving technique     and a burning desire to win! [06:09] Commentator     We're looking at one     dangerous Englishman here! [06:17] Ogata     Hey, Shun. [06:19] Ogata     I just had a thought. Do you think     Kanata's got a split personality? [06:22] Aiba     Why? [06:24] Ogata     I mean, he's normally a gentle guy      who wouldn't hurt a fly. But... [06:29] Ogata     Just look at him now! [06:33] Ogata     He's driving with such aggression,     I can hardly believe it's the same person. [06:39] Aiba     You could say that about     most MFG drivers, man. [06:45] Aiba     When you grip the wheel and floor it,      it's like a switch gets flipped. [06:48] Aiba     That's just how racing drivers are. [06:54] Aiba     Besides, Ogata, I'm not sure Kanata's     being as aggressive as you think he is. [07:02] Ogata     What do you mean? [07:03] Aiba     For all we know, he might still     not be giving it everything out there. [07:14] Aiba     It looks like he might spin out     at any second, but he's not. [07:19] Aiba     He's got perfect control of the car      and is making great time. [07:30] Aiba     You see guys like this sometimes. [07:36] Aiba     If he's got another level above this     when he gets into top gear... [07:39] Aiba     At this point, I wouldn't be surprised. [07:56] Ogata     One car left, Kanata! Over! [08:01] Ogata     He did it! [08:03] Ogata     What do I tell him now, Shun? [08:08] Ogata     U-Um— [08:09] Aiba     That's enough. Don't say another word, Ogata. [08:12] Aiba     We'll go silent now, too. [08:15] Aiba     Anything we say would just be noise. [08:18] Aiba     And it's too early to celebrate anyway. [08:20] Aiba     The downhill stretch that masked     the car's weaknesses ends soon, [08:24] Aiba     and there's a really long     straight before the finish line. [08:28] Aiba     The cars he's been passing up to now     are gonna start gaining on him fast. [08:33] Aiba     He needs a much wider     margin if he wants to seal it. [08:39] Commentator     He blasts past the closed Hakone-Yumoto     train station like a tornado! [08:46] Commentator     And soon, a long straight     will open out in front of the 86. [08:51] Commentator     Outstripping Fuji Speedway's     1.5 kilometer-long straight, [08:54] Commentator     at 1.9 kilometers long, you can really     let her rip on Kamaboko Straight! [09:01] Commentator     Can he stay above the     15th place cutoff for the race? [09:04] Commentator     It's full throttle from here on out! [09:06] Commentator     Our drone maxes out at 180 kph     and you can see him pulling away from it! [09:10] Commentator     That means we won't have     footage from it going forward. [09:15] Commentator     So enjoy the view from the five     stationary cameras that line the route! [09:24] Commentator     The 2.0-liter NA Toyota 86 GT charges     onward with all the power it can muster! [09:31] Commentator     A wall of air buffets the front     of the 86, trying to slow it down! [09:35] Commentator     Its speed is starting to plateau, [09:37] Commentator     and the unseen high-performance models     are gradually clawing it back! [09:41] Ogata     This is bad! He's getting no more out of sixth! [09:44] Ogata     He's lost a place! [09:45] Ogata     You can do this, Kanata! Hang in there, 86! [09:50] Ogata     The margin Kanata built up     with his daredevil driving [09:54] Ogata     is being eaten away by     my car's total lack of power! [09:58] Ogata     I can't stand it. [10:01] Ogata     I'm so sorry, Kanata. [10:03] Commentator     Battling against a wall of air     at 230 kph, the 86 struggles on! [10:08] Commentator     But most of the cars in the Godly Fifteen     were doing 300 kph by this point! [10:13] Commentator     At the end of the straight lies the     Higashi-Kazamatsuri intersection, [10:17] Commentator     a 90-degree turn! [10:18] Commentator     And he's absolutely sending it! [10:28] Commentator     Despite looking shaky, he makes it around. [10:31] Commentator     He continues to push right on the edge! [10:34] Commentator     After this winding S-bend,     he's in the home straight! [10:36] Commentator     The finish line is approaching fast! [10:39] Aiba     There's a gap of three-tenths     between him and the car in 16th. [10:42] Aiba     If he can stay ahead of it... [10:44] Aiba     Scramble for it, Kanata!     Go as hard as you can! [10:49] Aiba     This is going down to the wire!     Which way will it go? [10:53] Aiba     He's in trouble if the car     behind him has a lot of power. [10:56] Aiba     But I guess any other car     this far up would have plenty... [11:03] Commentator     There's the finish line! He's almost there! [11:48] Sign     MF Ghost [11:48] Sign     MF Ghost [11:48] Sign     MF Ghost [11:48] Sign     MF Ghost [11:48] Ren     MF Ghost.

[11:57] Commentator     And it's 16th place! [11:59] Commentator     He misses out on a spot in the race     by mere hundredths of a second! [12:06] Ren Dad     Good grief. [12:09] Ren Dad     It's unbearable. [12:12] Ren Dad     And bad for my heart. [12:20] Aiba     Don't sulk, Ogata.     It's really not your fault. [12:24] Aiba     Come on. Let's go welcome Kanata back. [12:44] Ogata     I'm so sorry, Kanata. [12:46] Kanata     No, don't be silly, Ogata-san. [12:49] Kanata     You're a fantastic mechanic. [12:52] Kanata     And you have my heartfelt gratitude. [12:55] Kanata     This car lived up to my expectations      all the way to the very end. [13:00] Kanata     The 86 is a fine car. [13:04] Ogata     Kanata... [13:06] Ogata     Can I hug you? [13:07] Kanata     Not with that runny nose, no. [13:10] Aiba     All right! Let's go have a consolation party.      My treat. We'll live it up! [13:16] Kanata     Wow. With beef bowls? [13:18] Aiba     Tut, tut. There's a lot more in store than that! [13:21] Aiba     Who do you think I am? [13:23] Aiba     You're talking to the "rich man"     who came ninth last year, Aiba Shun! [13:27] Aiba     I'm gonna show you what Japan     does with food when we get serious. [13:31] Kanata     Serious food? [13:34] Aiba     So let's meet up at Odawara     station's east entrance at six. [13:37] Ogata     What? Why aren't we going now? [13:40] Aiba     Nah, man. A big shot like me has     stuff he needs to deal with first... [13:48] Aiba     Speak of the angel! [13:51] Aiba     Number Seven! [13:55] Aiba     Ya came here to see little old me? [14:18] Seven     Jerk! [14:34] Ogata     What was that about? [14:37] Aiba     What just happened, Kanata? [14:39] Aiba     Do you know Angel Number Seven? [14:42] Kanata     I-I don't know. [14:44] Kanata     I'm not sure. [14:45] Aiba     You've gotta know something, man. [14:48] Aiba     Why'd Number Seven slap you? [14:50] Kanata     I'd like someone to tell me     the answer to that, Aiba-senpai. [14:54] Kanata     I've only been in this country for six days,      and I'm not particularly sociable. [15:00] Kanata     I don't talk to people I don't know. [15:03] Kanata     I've only spoken with my     host family, Ogata-san, you, [15:08] Kanata     and the lady who runs     the local convenience store. [15:12] Kanata     I've never even met one of the MFG Angels. [15:14] Aiba     Maybe it's something you did rather than said? [15:17] Aiba     Did you grab her butt before your run? [15:19] Kanata     No! Never! [15:21] Ogata     Shun. You're projecting. [15:29] Ren     I'm home. [15:31] Mayuko     Welcome back. I bet you're hungry. [15:34] Mayuko     I'll have dinner ready soon,     so get changed and come back down. [15:37] Ren     Okay. [15:46] Ren     Where's Kanata? [15:48] Mayuko     He called to say he was     eating out with some friends. [16:00] Sign     Odawara Offal [16:01] Aiba     I don't mind admitting this to you guys... [16:04] Aiba     but I'm totally zokkon      for Angel Number Seven. [16:08] Kanata     What's "zokkon"? [16:09] Ogata     It means he's head over heels in love. [16:14] Aiba     It's currently an unrequited love,     but I have an eye toward marriage. [16:18] Aiba     Though she won't tell me her name. [16:20] Kanata     Wow, that's so romantic,     Aiba-senpai. It's wonderful. [16:25] Aiba     You'll root for me, right? [16:27] Kanata     Yes! [16:28] Aiba     Then, promise me something, Kanata.     This is a real man-to-man promise. [16:33] Aiba     No matter what happens, don't fall in     love with or start dating Number Seven. [16:39] Aiba     Can you promise me that? [16:40] Kanata     I can. Aiba-senpai, I... [16:44] Kanata     Um, how should I put this? [16:46] Kanata     I wouldn't really be interested in a girl      who slaps someone they just met. [16:52] Kanata     I don't go for that. [16:55] Aiba     It's a relief to hear that. [16:58] Aiba     But don't be too mad at her.     She's gonna be my wife someday, y'know? [17:03] Aiba     Girls that are a little kooky make for     more interesting relationships, anyway. [17:09] Aiba     If anything, I wish I could get     slapped by Number Seven every day! [17:17] Kanata     Aiba-senpai's a bit of a "heitai," isn't he? [17:19] Ogata     If you mean a "freak," the word is "hentai." [17:23] Ogata     Something doesn't make     sense, though. That girl... [17:27] (Flashback) Seven     Jerk! [17:29] Ogata     ...she said as she slapped Kanata. [17:32] Ogata     Whichever way I look at it,     it seemed like a lovers' tiff. [17:38] Ogata     It's a bit weird Shun was convinced so easily,     but I don't think Kanata was lying, either. [17:50] Joyu     Someone was disqualified     for breaking the rules? [17:53] Official     It was discovered in the     post-qualification inspection. [17:56] Official     He was using unsanctioned tires. [17:59] Joyu     Let's bump up work on that new entry table      that will help us match tread patterns. [18:04] Joyu     I'll try and hurry that along.     It shouldn't be a problem on a technical level. [18:10] Official     Right. And as a result, the driver     in 16th now qualifies for the race. [18:14] Joyu     Get the press release out quickly. [18:17] Official     Yes, sir. [18:19] Joyu     Well, well... [18:21] Joyu     Luck is definitely on     Katagiri Kanata's side. [18:24] Joyu     Maybe he inherited that     from his mentor, too. [18:29] Sign     Odawara Offal [18:36] Kanata     Delicious. This is really good. [18:39] Kanata     It's sweet, juicy, and has a texture     unlike anything I've had before. [18:43] Kanata     What is it? [18:45] Both     You really wanna know? [18:47] Aiba     It's pig intestines. [18:49] Kanata     Oh my god! [18:51] Kanata     Unbelievable! [18:55] Aiba     If you like it, we can order plenty more. [19:00] Aiba     Hm? [19:02] Aiba     MFG apparently put out      a new press release. [19:07] Aiba     Are you kidding me? Check your phone, Ogata! [19:10] Aiba     You guys are in tomorrow's race!

[20:42] Ren     Is it because I was worried about him? [20:45] Ren     Or because he didn't tell me     he was entering MFG? [20:49] Ren     But if it's that, then I'm just as bad. [20:55] Ren     I didn't tell him I'm an MFG Angel. [20:59] Ren     I mean, that costume is so embarrassing. [21:04] Ren     Why was I so upset at the time? [21:08] Ren     It felt like Kanata might become     famous and beyond my reach. [21:15] Ren     So I got desperate and panicked. [21:19] Ren     But it's not like he belongs to anyone.

[00:21] Sign     Ogata Automotive [00:22] Ogata     After last night, I was so excited, I barely     got any sleep, and now I'm paying for it. [00:30] Kanata     I'm sorry. I got a full eight hours of sleep. [00:34] Ogata     No, no, that's nothing to apologize for. [00:38] Ogata     And you weren't kidding before.     These tires are done. [00:41] Ogata     Gonna need to change 'em before taking to     the start line tomorrow. They're free now. [00:46] Kanata     I'm glad it won't cost you any extra. [00:49] Ogata     It's not just the tires, either. [00:51] Ogata     After the display the 86 put on yesterday, [00:53] Ogata     we've been inundated with offers     of parts to tune it up at no cost. [00:58] Ogata     The best thing about this car is the     wide range of aftermarket parts available. [01:03] Ogata     It's too late for this race, but by the     second round at Lake Ashinoko, [01:07] Ogata     you can expect the 86     to be nicely souped-up. [01:11] Ogata     So look forward to that. [01:17] Ogata     Let's try and take care of everything      we can do today. Any requests? [01:21] Kanata     Well, there is one thing. [01:23] Kanata     Could you turn off the traction control? [01:26] Ogata     The traction control's no good? [01:28] Ogata     I've upgraded it in the past,     so it should be up to modern standards. [01:32] Kanata     Oh, it works fine. [01:34] Kanata     I'd just have more control without it. [01:37] Ogata     Roger that. I'll have it done     by the end of the day. [01:42] Kanata     Sorry about this, but is it all right if     I leave it to you and head out, Ogata-san? [01:46] Kanata     I promised I'd meet up with Ren. [01:48] Ogata     Saionji-san's daughter? That Ren-chan? [01:50] Kanata     Yep. [01:51] Ogata     Man, that name takes me back. [01:54] Ogata     I remember her dad would bring her     to the shop when she was about this big. [02:01] Ogata     She had this round, cherublike face,      but she was a stubborn little rascal. [02:05] Ogata     I'm laughing just remembering. [02:07] Ogata     Everyone used to say     she should've been born a boy. [02:12] Ogata     I wonder if she's a bit more girly now. [02:15] Ogata     I'm kinda scared to,      but I'd like to see her again. [02:18] Ogata     Get her to come by next time. [02:20] Kanata     I'll let her know.

[04:01] Kanata     I'm amazed how it feels     like a ride in a theme park, [04:03] Kanata     but it's just a part of everyone's     regular, everyday transport. [04:09] Kanata     It really suits Kamakura. [04:12] Ren     He hasn't realized... [04:14] Ren     He hasn't realized that     I'm the MFG Angel from before. [04:19] Ren     Unbelievable. Are all boys this dense? [04:23] Ren     I know I look a bit different, but wouldn't     my voice or whatever give me away? [04:29] Ren     Then again, maybe it's for the best. [04:34] Sign     Enoshima Electric     Railway [04:34] Sign     Enoshima Electric     Railway [04:34] Kanata     You seem a bit down today, Ren. [04:37] Kanata     Are you feeling all right? [04:37] Sign     Enoshima Electric     Railway [04:37] Sign     Enoshima Electric     Railway [04:39] Ren     Oh, it's nothing. I'm totally fine! [04:42] Ren     Just thinking about stuff. [04:44] Kanata     That's good, then. [04:47] Kanata     I'll send the picture to your phone, Ren. [04:50] Kanata     After all, two people looking at     the same phone can be a bit awkward. [04:54] Ren     Thanks. But are you sure?     Isn't this picture special to you? [04:58] Kanata     I should be the one thanking you.     If it wasn't for you, I'd be helpless. [05:03] Kanata     You're so kind. [05:05] Kanata     You're like an angel. [05:10] Ren     Y'know, Kanata, I think the key clue     to finding this location we're looking for [05:15] Ren     might be this modern-looking     building on the right edge here. [05:19] Kanata     Yes, I was thinking that, too. [05:21] Kanata     Here's hoping it's still standing. [05:24] Ren     I'm sure it is. Kamakura doesn't change much. [05:29] Ren     But I don't think it's around here.     This building... [05:33] Kanata     From what I can see, there's no sign of it. [05:36] Ren     You don't even check the picture, do you? [05:40] Ren     Then again, you've probably looked at it a lot. [05:48] Ren     It's huge! [05:49] Ren     Hey, Kanata, take a picture. [05:52] Ren     So if we do this... [05:55] Ren     And change this like this... [05:57] Kanata     This is complicated. [06:03] Ren     Nicely done! You've got a knack     for this, Kanata. It turned out cute. [06:07] Ren     Y'know, our moms both went to art school.     Maybe you take after yours. [06:11] Ren     Let's get you in one! [06:13] Kanata     Don't worry about me. I don't like     having my photo taken, so I'd rather not. [06:17] Ren     Shut up, Kanata. [06:20] Ren     We're doing this. [06:22] Ren     And if you don't, I'm gonna     steal your sides at dinner. [06:25] Ren     This is fun, so just do it! [06:27] Kanata     What a terrible abuse of power. [06:29] Ren     Okay, so go like this. Now that.     Then, make a face like this... [06:34] Kanata     This is complicated. [06:38] Kanata     Huh. That was more fun     than I thought it would be. [06:41] Ren     And no deleting it.     You'd better hold onto that picture. [06:45] Ren     Okay, let's go! [06:49] Kanata     This might sound so childish     that you'll laugh at me, Ren... [06:54] Kanata     But Kamakura feels like a place     you need a time machine to visit. [06:58] Kanata     You have modernity and     antiquity in close proximity, [07:02] Kanata     and I'm here retracing     the steps my parents took. [07:05] Kanata     It feels like, at some point, [07:07] Kanata     we stepped into the past and we're now     looking at a place they were very close to. [07:12] Kanata     And it's such a pleasant feeling.     So very sweet and soothing. [07:17] Kanata     All of Kamakura feels that way. [07:20] Kanata     There's just something about     this city that's very attractive. [07:27] Ren     Yeah, I like Kamakura, too. [07:31] Ren     I bet your mom and dad stood here, too,      looking out at the same scenery. [07:40] Ren     Let's take a little break. [07:43] Ren     All that walking has made me thirsty. [07:45] Kanata     Yes. [07:47] Sign     Part-Time Workers [07:47] Sign     Wanted [07:47] Kanata     Ren, what does this poster say? [07:50] Ren     It says, "Part-time workers wanted." [07:58] Kanata     I think I'm going to need     a job like yours soon, Ren. [08:03] Kanata     I need money, and I'd like an apartment      of my own, even if it's only a small one. [08:08] Ren     Huh? But why? [08:10] Ren     You can stay with us as long as you want. [08:12] Ren     Mom and Dad both said you can. [08:15] Kanata     I'm glad you feel that way, [08:17] Kanata     but I can't take advantage of     your family's kindness forever. [08:21] Ren     You're so serious about everything, Kanata. [08:24] Ren     I think Mom would be     disappointed to hear you say that. [08:30] Ren     Apparently, she's always wanted a son. [08:34] Ren     I get the feeling she thinks of you      as the child she never had. [08:39] Ren     You're handsome, polite, a little shy, [08:41] Ren     and something about you makes     people wanna take care of you. [08:45] Kanata     Oh, uh, no, I... [08:47] Kanata     I've never really been that good a son. [08:50] Kanata     Never. [08:59] Housewife     Hey, you two lovebirds. [09:01] Housewife     Would you like me to take your picture? [09:04] Kanata     Uh, no, that's— [09:08] Ren     Please do! [09:13] Ren     Thank you! [09:15] Housewife     You two make such a lovely couple.      You're both so attractive. [09:20] Ren     "Attractive"? Aw, shucks. [09:22] Ren     I mean, I'll admit you're handsome, Kanata... [09:25] Ren     Ah, what do I do?     I'm so happy, I'm getting all excited! [09:28] Kanata     I think she had the wrong idea about us. [09:32] Ren     Don't sweat the small stuff. [09:38] Kanata     Hey, stop, Ren! Don't throw sand at me. [09:44] Kanata     Payback! [09:46] Ren     C'mon, quit it! [09:48] Ren     You're gonna get sand all over my uniform! [09:51] Kanata     You stop it first, then. [09:56] Ren     Hey, Kanata. [09:58] Ren     What can I do for you? [10:03] Ren     Is it okay if I stay with you forever? [10:11] Ren     I can't deny what I'm feeling. [10:16] Ren     Kanata... [10:17] Ren     I love you.

[10:33] Ogata     C'mon, Kanata. I wasn't expecting to     make any prize money in the first place. [10:38] Ogata     I can't possibly take half of it. [10:41] Ogata     You'll agree to rewrite the contract, right? [10:44] Ogata     At least make it an 80/20 split. [10:47] Kanata     No. You're fully entitled to half the     prize money, as far as I'm concerned. [10:53] Kanata     You own the car, and if I total it today,      you'll be the one who loses out. [11:00] Ogata     It's an old car and not worth all that much. [11:04] Ogata     Considering the amount of risk     you're taking, it's just unfair. [11:07] Kanat     I won't agree to having it rewritten. [11:09] Kanat     I'm in this for the challenge,     not the prize money. [11:14] Ogata     Don't sound so selfless, man.     It just makes it harder. [11:18] Lady Server     Here you are. [11:20] Lady Server     One Japanese-style hamburg     steak and one healthy curry. [11:22] Kakeru     Oh, the burger's mine. [11:31] Kakeru     On second thought,     I should've ordered that. [11:33] Kakeru     I'm gonna take a bite. [11:35] Nozomi     Ew, gross. I hadn't even touched it yet. [11:39] Nozomi     "I should've ordered that," my butt.     Quit screwing around, dum-dum. [11:44] Kanata     Those two seem to get along well. [11:45] Ogata     I'm gonna order something sweet.     What about you, Kanata? [11:49] Ogata     Want some dessert? [11:51] Kanata     No dessert for me. I'll grab a coffee. [11:58] Kanata     You can go first. Please. [12:00] Nozomi     Thanks. [12:02] Nozomi     Oh, wow, what a hottie! [12:08] Nozomi     That was a real treat for the eyes. So cool. [12:13] Nozomi     Hey, look! [12:14] Nozomi     It's the 86 car! The genuine article! [12:18] Nozomi     Remember seeing it in     qualifying the other day? [12:21] Kakeru     For real? And we were eating     in the same restaurant? [12:24] Kakeru     See anyone that seemed like the driver? [12:30] Nozomi     Wait, is it you? [12:32] Nozomi     Katagiri Kanata-kun? [12:34] Kanata     Um, yes? [12:36] Nozomi     What crazy luck! Running into the super     rookie on everyone's lips at this place! [12:41] Nozomi     I'm Kitahara Nozomi.     I'll see you again later. [12:46] Ogata     Later? [12:47] Kakeru     Come on, Nozomi. [12:48] Nozomi     Ah, shut up. [12:50] Nozomi     See ya. [12:53] Kakeru     He's slightly hot and     you're practically drooling over him. [12:57] Nozomi     So what? Leave me alone. [13:12] Ogata     It really was them. [13:13] Ogata     Yashio Kakeru in the White Lotus and     Kitahara Nozomi in the red Alfa Romeo. [13:18] Ogata     People call them the "Yashi-Kita Gang." [13:20] Ogata     They've got different last names,     but they're biological siblings. [13:25] Ogata     MFG is fundamentally a solo competition, [13:28] Ogata     but the two of them are remarkably      coordinated when they race. [13:31] Ogata     Especially with how they use slipstreams. [13:34] Kanata     Slipstreams... [13:48] Commentator     That was this season's theme song, brought     to you by the fourth generation of Angels, [13:54] Commentator     the newly released     "No Fear of Blind Corners." [13:57] Commentator     It went straight into the charts at     number three, so that's a great start. [14:01] Man Audience A     Hey, look at that one. [14:02] Woman Audience A     She changed her hair. [14:06] Commentator     And a very good afternoon to all     30 million MFG fans across the globe. [14:10] Commentator     I'm your commentator, Tanaka Yoji. [14:12] Commentator     My guest in the booth today is someone who     had an attention-grabbing racing career... [14:17] Commentator     ...and who is currently a racing coach. [14:20] Commentator     Kogashiwa Kai is here with me. [14:23] Kogashiwa     Hey, it's a pleasure to be here. [14:26] Commentator     Now, one rumor I've heard, Kogashiwa-san, [14:28] Commentator     is that you're closely connected     to the bigwigs running MFG. [14:33] Kogashiwa     I'd say so. We're friends      and we go way back. [14:37] Commentator     So if you don't mind me asking, [14:39] Commentator     do you have any info on the identity     of the mysterious "Ryo Takahashi"? [14:44] Kogashiwa     Well, I guess I do... [14:46] Kogashiwa     But he warned me not to talk about it,     so I'm not at liberty to say. [14:50] Commentator     I see. That makes sense. [14:54] Commentator     Speaking of men of mystery, [14:55] Commentator     let's talk about Katagiri Kanata, who made     it through qualifying in his first race. [15:00] Commentator     Given that I call myself     "MFG's walking encyclopedia," [15:03] Commentator     I felt it was incumbent on me to make     some international calls to England, [15:07] Commentator     and after a few inquiries     in less-than-perfect English, [15:10] Commentator     I was able to dig up some     real dynamite info on him. [15:13] Commentator     When the time is right,     I'll share that information with you all. [15:17] Commentator     But right now, there's only 10 minutes     to go before the start of the race. [15:21] Commentator     My goosebumps aren't going away as we near     the long-awaited start of this opening race. [15:28] Commentator     With the drivers' meeting now over,     the 15 racers descend from the bus. [15:34] Commentator     There's the polesitter, Ishigami. [15:36] Commentator     And the driver in second is Sakamoto Yudai,     with his hood up and face hidden as usual. [15:41] Commentator     And next, here's the     princely young Beckenbauer. [15:45] Commentator     Starting fourth is Otani in the AMG. [15:47] Commentator     It's sixth spot for Yanagida in the BMW. [15:50] Commentator     Jackson Taylor in the Porsche is seventh.     The drivers of the European makes look fierce. [15:55] Commentator     The Godly Fifteen aura radiates from them. [15:57] Commentator     This is already enough     to get my heart pounding. [16:01] Commentator     The Kamikaze Outlaw, Aiba Shun. [16:03] Commentator     And behind him is the rookie,     Katagiri Kanata. [16:06] Commentator     He's a hybrid himself, with a Japanese father     and English mother. And handsome to boot! [16:12] Commentator     I can only imagine the     female fans he'll attract. [16:14] Seven     You didn't have to say all that.     Tanaka-san, you stupid idiot. [16:18] Commentator     The Godly Fifteen are crossing into the     paddock constructed on the Seisho Bypass. [16:24] Commentator     Their engines running, all 15 vehicles     await the arrival of their drivers. [16:30] Kanata     Aiba-senpai, thanks for the     organ meat feast the other night. [16:33] Aiba     No sweat. It's one of my usual haunts,     so I'll take you again someday. [16:37] Kanata     Wow! [16:38] Oishi     An Aventador? Hell no. [16:41] Oishi     They're for drag races.     It'd be no good in MFG. [16:45] Oishi     Get me a Huracán Performante. [16:48] Oishi     I don't care how much it costs.     Just have it ready by the next race. [16:51] Aiba     Damn, Oishi. You're still as spoiled as ever. [16:55] Aiba     The problem is your lack of skills,     not the car's lack of power. [16:59] Aiba     Figure that out already. [17:02] Aiba     I'd better go. Stay on your toes, Kanata. [17:04] Kanata     Good luck to you, too, Aiba-senpai. [17:07] Aiba     The race is about to start and     he's not showing any signs of nerves. [17:12] Aiba     That Kanata's one strange guy. [17:14] Aiba     He's got the unshakable vibe of     a battle-hardened veteran racer. [17:18] Aiba     But despite that, he's still likable. [17:21] Commentator     There's less than one minute to the start. [17:24] Commentator     And even up here in the booth, I feel like     my heart's going to jump out of my mouth. [17:34] Commentator     The eight angels are lined up near the gate     to see the drivers off on their way out. [17:42] Aiba     My one goal above all others is to be     standing on the podium come the end. [17:46] Aiba     Oughta be easy, right? I'm starting fifth,     so I just have to pass two cars. [17:50] Aiba     Four years in, and I've never     been this motivated before. [17:55] Aiba     I'm not letting anyone else     get a kiss from Number Seven! [17:58] Commentator     Those who make it onto the podium receive     a kiss on the cheek from one of the Angels. [18:02] Commentator     And it's winner's choice! [18:06] Commentator     And so, the Porsche with the     number 1 on it slowly exits the gate. [18:11] Commentator     All cars are limited to 40 kph     until the last one is through the gate. [18:16] Commentator     Each driver's drone flies     ahead of them at that speed, [18:22] Commentator     and if they pass their drone     before the blue signal, [18:26] Commentator     they get penalized for a jump start. [18:28] Commentator     It's only 15 seconds added     to their overall time... [18:32] Commentator     ...but that's enough to     guarantee a last-place finish. [18:36] Commentator     The fleet of cars exits     the gate one after another. [18:41] Commentator     And now... [18:43] Commentator     the 86 car, in last place,     has cleared the gate. [18:53] Commentator     All 15 monsters roar away! [18:56] Commentator     Just listen to that noise!     Can you even hear me over it? [19:02] Man AA     This is so awesome.     This is what races are meant to be like! [19:05] Man BB     EV races put me to sleep! [19:09] Commentator     And just barely avoiding a jump start,     here comes the 9 car, the GTR! [19:13] Commentator     He's challenging Otani's AMG already! [19:17] Man AA     Hell yeah! Go for it, Aiba! [19:18] Man BB     Show us what the GTR can really do! [19:21] Commentator     And he pulls off a successful     overtake on the AMG! [19:24] Commentator     Up one place already, it seems Aiba Shun     doesn't know the meaning of the word "defense"! [19:30] Commentator     He's the driver who sends the     crowd wild the most in MFG! [19:34] Commentator     Yet despite his huge popularity and     friendly nature, he's unlucky in love. [19:38] Kogashiwa     That was definitely part of Aiba-kun's plan. [19:42] Kogashiwa     The AMG GT S is rear-wheel drive, so it needs      to warm up its tires to get any real traction. [19:48] Commentator     I see. [19:50] Commentator     Ishigami in first steadily forges ahead. [19:53] Commentator     A little farther back,     it's bumper to bumper. [19:56] Commentator     The 12, 5, 9, and 7 cars are     all fighting over second place! [20:05] Commentator     Beckenbauer in the 12 is steadily gapping     the group that's now competing for third. [20:10] Commentator     Given how many 600 HP monsters he's up against,     that's an unexpected turn of events. [20:16] Commentator     Your thoughts on it, Kogashiwa-san? [20:19] Kogashiwa     I'd chalk it up to his     tire management skills. [20:22] Kogashiwa     He's extremely adept at     getting heat into his tires. [20:26] Kogashiwa     Drivers at this level are able     to gauge the surface temperature [20:30] Kogashiwa     of all four tires pretty accurately. [20:32] Kogashiwa     Not only that, but they can warm up or     cool down individual tires when necessary. [20:39] Commentator     That's actually possible? [20:41] Kogashiwa     It sure is. [20:44] Kogashiwa     But Beckenbauer is a world-class talent. [20:47] Kogashiwa     I'd wager out of everyone in this race,     he might be the only one who can do that. [20:57] Kanata     My rear left could do with a bit more heat. [21:10] Ogata     Ogata here! What was that slide just now?!     Is something wrong, Kanata?! [21:14] Ogata     Are you having issues      with the car's balance?! [21:17] Kanata     No problems. Just a minor adjustment. [21:20] Kanata     It's all looking better now. [21:22] Ogata     Don't scare me like that. [21:24] Ogata     You're off to a good start. [21:26] Ogata     Kinda surprised the cars in     front aren't getting away. [21:29] Ogata     This isn't qualifying anymore, Ogata-san. [21:32] Ogata     The Honda and Alfa in front     of me are battling hard. [21:36] Ogata     But with no one around me,     I can take my ideal lines. [21:40] Ogata     I get it. So that's what you mean. [21:42] Kanata     And the moment where     I join their battle... [21:45] Kanata     may come sooner than I expected. [23:31] Narration     Next time, Turn 05: Teamwork.

[03:41] Oishi     If only I had slightly bigger tires... [03:44] Oishi     Damned grip-to-weight ratio rule! [03:54] Oishi     I spent a lot of money     to bring a fast car here... [03:58] Oishi     So just let me floor it, damn it! [04:14] Kogashiwa     In simplistic terms, you can interpret     the standardized grip-to-weight ratio rule [04:19] Kogashiwa     as a way of standardizing cornering speeds. [04:23] Commentator     Regulating only the grip-to-weight ratio of the     cars and not the body or engine displacement... [04:28] Commentator     I still remember the shock     I felt when I heard that. [04:32] Kogashiwa     Right. It's such a simple touch, but one that's      hard to pin down the reasoning behind it. [04:38] Kogashiwa     But since there's little     to be gained in the corners, [04:41] Kogashiwa     the more powerful cars     seemingly have the advantage, [04:44] Signs     Maezono Kazuhiro [04:44] Signs     Kitahara Nozomi [04:44] Signs     Katagiri Kanata [04:45] Kogashiwa     because they can accelerate     better on the straights. [04:47] Commentator     And that's why we've seen an arms     race on the power front, correct? [04:51] Kogashiwa     Exactly. Premium high-end European     models have dominated the top spots, [04:56] Kogashiwa     giving the rule its nickname:     the rich man's regulation. [04:59] Kogashiwa     But I think we may be approaching     a turning point in that way of thinking. [05:04] Commentator     How do you mean? [05:06] Kogashiwa     After Michael Beckenbauer     joined the competition last year, [05:10] Kogashiwa     we've seen a shift from     pure power to a balanced setup. [05:14] Kogashiwa     The rookie, Katagiri Kanata, is the     perfect example of this school of thought. [05:20] Kogashiwa     Granted, his car is so down on power,     it can hardly be called well-balanced. [05:28] Ogata     Well, excuse me.     As if I don't already know that. [05:31] Kogashiwa     This regulation Ryo Takahashi put in has     such exact specifications on tire durability, [05:37] Kogashiwa     it makes me think the possibility of upsets     was intentional and always part of the plan. [05:46] Kogashiwa     I'm honestly kind of speechless     at how brilliantly set up it is. [05:54] Joyu     Looks like Kogashiwa learned     something in all those years of racing. [05:59] Joyu     He's on the right track. [06:01] Joyu     MFG is the next phase in     the evolution of Project D. [06:04] Joyu     What Ryosuke called his "study of     high-speed racing on public roads." [06:09] Joyu     But I have doubts that anyone can solve this     complex formula Ryosuke has come up with. [06:18] Commentator     The leaders are coming up     to the rest house. [06:24] Commentator     Aiba in the 9 is gunning     for Sakamoto in the 5! [06:28] Commentator     You can't take your eyes off this tussle! [06:31] Aiba     Damn it. I'm not letting     some European car beat me. [06:35] Aiba     Let's show 'em the old Yamato spirit, GTR. [06:39] Sakamoto     Aiba, if you're too aggressive     on a freaky course like this, [06:42] Sakamoto     you'll be dead a couple of times over. [06:45] Sakamoto     With my huge engine displacement, 4WD,     and electronic control, I'm decked out for war! [06:50] Sakamoto     I let the car take me around     the corners, then I blast away. [06:54] Sakamoto     Because in MFG, your car is everything. [07:02] Commentator     The racers make their way     out of Sector 1 and into Sector 2! [07:06] Commentator     And after that steep climb     comes the downhill descent! [07:11] Commentator     What changes will we see to the order     as the cars exit the power section? [07:21] Commentator     So far, 14 cars have passed the rest house. [07:26] Commentator     The 86 is a bit further back,     but catching fast. [07:30] Commentator     And now, all the cars have entered Sector 2! [07:34] Ogata     Ogata here. [07:35] Ogata     Oil temperature and pressure look good. [07:37] Ogata     And your fuel's where it should be. [07:40] Ogata     Anything you need? [07:41] Kanata     Ogata-san, could you tell me     how far it is to the car in front? [07:45] Kanata     I don't see it anywhere. [07:47] Ogata     The car in front? Let's see... [07:49] Ogata     That's the 18, the Alfa Romeo. [07:51] Ogata     It's 6.8 seconds up the road. [07:53] Kanata     Roger. I'm going after them. [07:56] Ogata     That's easy to say, man. 6.8 seconds     is a decent chunk of time to make up. [08:08] Kakeru     Kakeru here. What are you doing, Nozomi?     Get past that Honda and catch up already. [08:14] Nozomi     He's tougher than you'd think. Despite being      an FF, he's really fast out of the corners. [08:18] Nozomi     I could use a hand, bro. [08:20] Kakeru     Guess I'll have to. [08:22] Kakeru     Keep an eye out for a chance to do     the thing. We'll go with Formation #3. [08:26] Nozomi     Copy that. I'm counting on you, big bro. [08:35] Maezono     I've caught up. The FK8 has better     stability when going downhill. [08:40] Maezono     That Lotus Exige ain't so hot after all. [08:43] Maezono     I'll leave you in the dust. [08:45] Maezono     Your outside's wide open! [08:48] Maezono     Let's do this! [08:56] Kakeru     Now! Get in there, Nozomi! [08:58] Nozomi     See ya later! [09:01] Maezono     What is this crap? He left the door open     just to bait me into making a move? [09:07] Second     Watch out, Maezono. There's one on your tail. [09:10] Maezono     You're too late! The Alfa already got past me. [09:13] Second     Not her! [09:17] Maezono     Do your job, booth! If the 86 had caught up,      you should've said something! [09:22] Second     I just did! [09:23] Maezono     If he's already here, you took too long! [09:25] Maezono     My eyes are on what's in front, damn it! [09:29] Maezono     But I thought the 86 was way back. [09:33] Maezono     The second we hit the downhill, he ate up     the gap. What kind of trick did he use? [09:40] Nozomi     The 86 is behind us, bro. Kanata's here! [09:44] Kakeru     Damn it. We don't stand a chance     in a fair fight in the technical section. [09:49] Kakeru     Let's gap him as much as we can. [09:51] Nozomi     Gotcha. Things are getting     pretty fun now, huh, bro? [09:54] Kakeru     Not even a little! [10:01] Sign     MF Ghost [10:01] Kanata     MF Ghost. [10:02] Sign     MF Ghost [10:02] Sign     MF Ghost [10:02] Sign     MF Ghost [10:03] Sign     MF Ghost [10:07] Sign     MF Ghost [10:07] Sign     MF Ghost [10:07] Sign     MF Ghost [10:07] Sign     MF Ghost [10:08] Ren     MF Ghost. [10:12] MFG Staff     There's been a change of positions,      so whenever you're ready. [10:15] Moe     'Kay! [10:22] Seven     Can I ask you something, Kyoko-senpai? [10:25] Kyoko     Sure, ask me anything.     After all, it is your first race, Ren-chan. [10:30] Seven     It's about that. SIGN    Yashio Kakeru [10:33] Seven     Why are they using an analog leaderboard? SIGN    Kitahara Nozomi [10:37] Seven     Everything else in MFG is so high tech. [10:40] Kyoko     You've got a sharp eye.     Well, just watch and it'll all become clear. [10:47] Moe     Oh, gosh. [10:49] Moe     Don't zoom in on my butt, Uehara-san.      I'm super self-conscious about it. [10:55] Seven     Don't tell me... [10:56] Kyoko     Fanservice is an important part of this gig. [10:59] Kyoko     The Angel Cam is popular     and gets a ton of views. [11:03] Kyoko     Better brace yourself for it, Ren-chan. [11:06] Seven     I had no idea. [11:08] Staff     And now, it's Question Time. [11:10] Staff     Moe-chan, who's your favorite driver? [11:13] Moe     Wow, that's such a hard question. [11:17] Moe     All the drivers are wonderful,     but kind of hard to approach. [11:23] Moe     They're a little too intimidating for me. [11:28] Moe     So my favorite is all 15 of them! [11:31] Moe     And as long as everyone makes it across     the line safely, I'll be super happy. [11:35] Staff     What a perfect answer. [11:37] Man B     You're so cute, Moe-chan! [11:39] Staff     That was the fans' number one, Moe-chan! [11:42] Kyoko     Talk about a corny act. [11:44] Kyoko     If there were a vote on who has the worst     personality, you'd be number one with a bullet. [11:49] Seven     I thought this job was     mostly singing and dancing. [11:52] Seven     Being an Angel is tougher than I figured. [12:02] Kakeru     We're in the second half now. Just a little     bit further and the course goes uphill again. [12:07] Kakeru     Gonna need to put some distance between us     and the 86 to give us a decent margin. [12:11] Kakeru     Because when we get to Sector 3,     he'll gain a lot of speed. [12:17] Commentator     And the two leaders are through the     Torii gate, with Beckenbauer on the attack! [12:21] Commentator     He's got Ishigami by the tail     and isn't letting go! [12:25] Kogashiwa     This must be hard for Ishigami-kun.     I don't think he's got much breathing room. [12:30] Kogashiwa     As reigning champ two years running, I'd like     to see him stand up to this rising star, but... [12:36] Ishigami     How damn embarrassing. [12:38] Ishigami     A standard Cayman managing     to chase down the famous GT3... [12:44] Ishigami     I can't help it getting under my skin. [12:46] Ishigami     Is the fact that he graduated from the     Porsche Academy making me self-conscious? [12:55] Ishigami     Why can't I shake the feeling that     I'm being looked down upon from up high? [13:03] Michael     Do you deserve to be     driving that car, Ishigami? [13:09] Michael     The 991 GT3 is the ultimate     in Porsche rear-engine models. [13:14] Michael     Do you even know how to drive it properly? [13:19] Michael     Does a street monkey     from the far reaches of Asia [13:22] Michael     even have the right to sit in     the seat of a German masterpiece? [13:27] Michael     Prove it to me. [13:30] Commentator     And here's the battle for third, [13:33] Commentator     arguably the most hotly     contested position in the race! [13:45] Commentator     You can see Aiba Shun ducking left and right,     trying to chase down Sakamoto in the 5 car! [13:50] Aiba     Outta my way, you dark side shadow lord! [13:54] Sakamoto     How dumb can you get?     Are you even thinking about your tires? [13:58] Sakamoto     And having to put up     with it is stressing me out. [14:02] Aiba     Number Seven's kiss belongs to me! [14:07] Kyoko     Something wrong? [14:08] Seven     I just got these weird chills. [14:10] Commentator     Whoa! Akaba in the 2 car has taken off! [14:13] Commentator     He glides past Natsume's     BMW and takes ninth place! [14:19] Kogashiwa     In qualifying, a turbo issue     cost him a few places, [14:22] Kogashiwa     but Akaba-kun isn't the kind of driver     who's satisfied with that position. [14:25] Kogashiwa     He was second last year, and as a     racing driver, he's a first-class talent. [14:34] Commentator     And now, Akaba has the Lamborghini     in front in his crosshairs! [14:44] Oishi     There you are, Akaba Kaito. [14:46] Oishi     I've been expecting you. [14:49] Oishi     Swelled up on all that turbo... [14:52] Oishi     That prancing horse badge     doesn't mean what it used to. [14:55] Oishi     I can hear my naturally aspirated     5.2 liter engine chuckling behind me. [15:01] Akaba     I don't feel particularly     attached to the Ferrari brand. [15:06] Akaba     But it's a superior weapon in fights     like these, so I make use of it. [15:11] Akaba     So why is it I find that bull     emblem so damn annoying? [15:18] Oishi     Lambos are the real kings     of the supercar these days. [15:23] Oishi     And your grand prix     lineage can kiss my ass! [15:29] Akaba     I can hear a whispering in my ear: [15:31] Akaba     "Let him have it. Onwards." [15:34] Akaba     "This is one car's dust     you mustn't get left in!" [15:40] Commentator     And the leaders pass by     the highest point on Route 1. [15:43] Commentator     The two Porsches blaze into Sector 3.

[15:58] Commentator     The 11 car in 10th, the 10 car in 11th. [16:01] Commentator     Then comes the Yashi-Kita Gang,     with the 16 in 12th and the 18 in 13th. [16:07] Commentator     And then, a bit farther back... [16:10] Commentator     Well, here's a surprise.     The 86 has made it up into 14th place! [16:17] Commentator     The Civic is right behind him in 15th. [16:21] Commentator     And now, all 15 racers     have entered Sector 3. [16:25] Kogashiwa     I legitimately didn't expect     to see the 86 advancing like this. [16:31] Ogata     Fighting against a field like this     in an 86 is totally reckless. [16:36] Ogata     Isn't it already a miracle     that Kanata's not last? [16:48] Maezono     I've caught up and I'm in an ideal     position. Best seat in the house. [16:53] Maezono     It's a sick joke that he was faster than     Beckenbauer before the Kamaboko Straight. [16:58] Maezono     How did an off-the-shelf 86 pull that off? [17:02] Maezono     If he's got some special trick,     I'm gonna find out what it is and steal it. [17:08] Maezono     Once I know how to do it,     that's my chance to turn it around, too! [17:24] Maezono     He's cornering so fast. [17:26] Maezono     But that can't be right. Our cars     should be in the same category group. [17:35] Maezono     When I've got the pedal down,     I'm clearly faster. [17:38] Maezono     We might both have 2-liter engines,     but there's a huge gulf between NA and turbo. [17:45] Maezono     He leaves me for dust under braking. [17:48] Maezono     His cornering's so fast! [17:54] Maezono     I can't let him get away. I need to hang on. [17:56] Maezono     Just long enough for me to     floor it! Until I hit a straight! [18:01] Maezono     It's no good. He's leaving me behind. [18:05] Maezono     He's getting away. What just happened? [18:09] Maezono     I can't get my head around it. [18:11] Maezono     It's like we're not subject     to the same laws of physics. [18:28] Commentator     It looks like there's an incident! [18:30] Commentator     The BMW driven by Natsume     in 10th has slowed right down. [18:35] Kakeru     Lucky us. Our prize money just     got bumped up for no extra work. [18:42] Nozomi     Bro! I just saw a red car      in my rearview mirror! [18:45] Kakeru     Damn. He's here already? [18:48] Kakeru     The gap we fought hard to     build up got eaten up in no time. [18:51] Nozomi     What do we do? Try a block formation? [18:54] Kakeru     No, forget that.     Blocking him would kill our pace. [18:57] Kakeru     We don't wanna lose     more time to the leaders. [19:00] Kakeru     If we don't give him an opportunity, he has     no chance of passing us on a road this narrow. [19:06] Kakeru     Just stick to your ideal line. [19:08] Nozomi     Works for me. I'm ready      to take Kanata on head-on! [19:12] Kakeru     If you do that, you won't stand a chance. [19:18] Commentator     The 3 and the 2 seem to blend     together as they enter the fog. [19:23] Commentator     The cloud of death around the ghost town     draws car after car into its embrace. [19:29] Commentator     Here in the commentary booth,     this area always makes my heart sink. [19:33] Kogashiwa     Right. The lack of visibility from the drone     footage makes it hard to tell what's going on. [19:41] Commentator     It looks like the Yashi-Kita Gang have     the 86 pinned in as all three charge onwards. [19:49] Commentator     So this might be...     Well, a "good chance" isn't the right phrase, [19:52] Commentator     but an opportunity to share with you     the information I found on Katagiri. [19:57] Commentator     He normally goes by Kanata Rivington. [19:59] Commentator     We can assume the "Katagiri"     comes from his Japanese father. [20:04] Commentator     He's from Cambridge in England, [20:06] Commentator     and went to the Royal Donington Park     Racing School, or RDRS for short. [20:12] Commentator     He first sat in a kart aged four, and by     seven, he was racing them competitively. [20:17] Commentator     Over the next two years,     he racked up six notable British titles. [20:22] Commentator     Aged 10, he entered Formula 4. Two years     later, he had more titles to his name. [20:26] Kogashiwa     Whoa, hold on a second.     That's an incredible career. [20:30] Ogata     Are you for real? [20:32] (Flashback) Aiba     There's something fundamentally     different about where he's at. [20:37] Ogata     I thought Shun was just full of crap. [20:42] Commentator     It seems there's a mandatory graduation     exam for students at this racing school, [20:48] Commentator     and Katagiri achieved top marks     in every "mission" on the curriculum. [20:55] Commentator     His cumulative score     apparently set a new school record, [21:01] Commentator     and RDRS staff excitedly told me how he had     an otherworldly knack for shrinking lap times [21:07] Commentator     on both the track and in the simulator. [21:11] Commentator     Now, with that kind of talent, he had     his pick of opportunities after graduating. [21:17] Commentator     But shockingly, he turned them all down,     and returned to his family home for a while. [21:24] Ren Dad     That would've been around the time     Katherine took a turn for the worse. [21:30] Mayuko     I think so. He's such a kind boy. [21:34] Commentator     But here comes the real surprise     I uncovered while doing this research. [21:39] Commentator     There happens to be a Japanese instructor     on the staff at this academy in Donington. [21:46] Commentator     And his name is... [21:48] Commentator     Takumi Fujiwara.

Names are handled on a best-effort basis depending on the info on the source file. Dialogue is left as is.) [00:01] Commentator     But here comes the real surprise     I uncovered while doing this research. [00:05] Commentator     There happens to be a Japanese instructor     on the staff at this academy in Donington. [00:12] Commentator     And his name is... [00:13] Commentator     Takumi Fujiwara. [00:15] Kogashiwa     Did you say Fujiwara Takumi? [00:17] Kogashiwa     Are you serious? [00:19] Commentator     Yes. And after seeing that name,      it all made sense. [00:23] Commentator     It can only be the man     known as the "Tragic Rallyist." [00:52] Sign     MF Ghost [02:00] Sign     m 0 0 l 100 0 100 100 0 100 [02:00] Sign     The Tragic Rallyist [02:12] Kakeru     In qualifying, he was passing people     in the death zone like a man possessed. [02:17] Kakeru     Even with zero visibility, he had an     attention flag on him the entire time. [02:21] Kakeru     That legit freaked me out. [02:23] Kakeru     Even Beckenbauer ain't that crazy. [02:29] Kakeru     I expected him to be out     for blood on this stretch, [02:33] Kakeru     but he's staying quiet behind Nozomi. [02:36] Kakeru     He's taking it easy.     Maybe he's trying to conserve his tires? [02:40] Kakeru     If so, he's even cleverer than I thought.     He must have a ton of experience. [02:46] Kanata     There's still a lot of the race left. [02:48] Kanata     On top of that, this area's too risky. [02:51] Kanata     For the one being overtaken,     not the overtaker. [02:56] Kanata     I'd hate to give that pretty girl     with the ponytail a fright. [03:01] Kogashiwa     Fujiwara-kun and I have a complex history.     You might even call it a rivalry. [03:08] Commentator     Really? [03:09] Kogashiwa     Yeah. We battled hard on track,     but were friends off it. [03:15] Commentator     Fujiwara Takumi hails from     Shibukawa in Gunma prefecture. [03:18] Commentator     Aged 20, he went overseas on his own to     compete in the British Rally Championship. [03:23] Commentator     While he struggled on gravel,     he was unbeatable on tarmac, [03:27] Commentator     and in his third year in     the series, he won the title. [03:31] Kogashiwa     That definitely sounds like him. [03:33] Commentator     Due to his remarkable speed, the fans     dubbed him "the Flying Man from Japan." [03:38] Kogashiwa     That's British humor for you. [03:40] Commentator     He went on to make a few     appearances in the WRC. [03:44] Commentator     And up to that point,     everything was going well. [03:47] Commentator     But during a works machine test,     his car suffered a drive shaft failure [03:52] Commentator     and plunged into a ravine,     seriously injuring him. [03:57] Commentator     After a lengthy hospital stay and     rehabilitation period, he retired from racing. [04:01] Commentator     After that, he more or less vanished, with even     those in the know unsure what became of him. [04:08] Commentator     But now, ten years later, [04:10] Commentator     I find myself mentioning his name     in a way I could never have anticipated. [04:17] Commentator     Though I have to question how a rally driver     ended up as an instructor at a racing school. [04:22] Kogashiwa     Oh, I think that just     speaks to the similarities. [04:26] Kogashiwa     Whether you race on public     roads or in a formula car, [04:29] Kogashiwa     the basis of driving is about     controlling your center of gravity. [04:34] Commentator     I see. [04:36] Commentator     So it seems the tragic genius and     Katagiri Kanata are master and pupil. [04:41] Commentator     Just the idea of it adds     extra excitement to the race. [04:45] Kogashiwa     Putting the racing aside, I'm glad about it. [04:49] Kogashiwa     Hearing he's out there and doing well... [04:52] Kogashiwa     That's plenty. [04:54] Commentator     The feed has switched. [04:56] Commentator     It seems the leaders are     out of the death zone. [05:00] Commentator     Let's see if they can blast away     that sad tale with a fiery battle! [05:05] Ishigami     Everything's fine. I just need to let     the car carry me to the line like always. [05:11] Ishigami     There's one clear advantage a rear-engine     design has over a mid-engine one, [05:16] Ishigami     and that's the braking. [05:22] Ishigami     With the heaviest part of the car,     the engine, being more toward the rear, [05:29] Ishigami     it increases the grip of     the rear tires when braking. [05:36] Ishigami     In my experience, this means they     can go deeper than any other make, [05:40] Ishigami     and stop harder than you can believe. [05:49] Michael     This has been a profound     disappointment on every level, Ishigami. [05:53] Michael     Your reflexes, eyesight,     conditioning, and spirit... [05:57] Michael     In my opinion, no part of you     is in competitive shape. [06:00] Michael     The way you race has     an old man reek about it. [06:03] Michael     And the reason I find MFG so boring     is because a washed-up old fool like you [06:08] Michael     was able to come out on top     two years in a row. [06:12] Michael     You're an eyesore. [06:13] Michael     And I'm sick of looking at you. [06:31] Michael     What's the matter? Step up, Ishigami. [06:33] Michael     Can't you accelerate? [06:35] Michael     If we were in Europe, even a 10-year-old kid     would be willing to press the gas pedal. [06:47] Michael     This loss isn't on the GT3. [06:50] Michael     You're just too weak, Ishigami. [06:54] Commentator     Ishigami Fujin has finally been     toppled! We have a new leader! [06:59] Commentator     Kogashiwa-san, can you give us some     insight into what just happened? [07:03] Kogashiwa     Sure. It was a beautiful pass. [07:06] Kogashiwa     Beckenbauer smoothly upped his pace... [07:09] Kogashiwa     ...and capitalized on the smallest of gaps     by moving to the outside and braking later. [07:15] Kogashiwa     The two cars then went     through the corner side by side, [07:18] Kogashiwa     and on the approach to the next turn, [07:20] Kogashiwa     Beckenbauer made intentional contact     with his rival to deprive him of space. [07:26] Kogashiwa     This put Ishigami-kun in trouble,     as he couldn't hold his line. [07:30] Kogashiwa     It was like something you'd see     in the German Touring Car Masters. [07:34] Kogashiwa     That willingness to make contact is     something you often see with the generation [07:38] Kogashiwa     that's grown up with simulators. [07:41] Kogashiwa     Beckenbauer's something of an outsized     threat for a local racing series like MFG. [07:49] Staff     There's been a position change. [07:50] Staff     Please update the board. [07:52] Kyoko     Right. [07:54] Kyoko     Off I go. [07:57] Sign     Ishigami [08:02] Kyoko     Seems old man Ishigami got taken down. [08:05] Sign     M. Beckenb [08:05] Sign     Sakamoto [08:05] Sign     Aiba [08:05] Sign     Oishi [08:05] Kyoko     Guess there's no beating these young kids. [08:06] Sign     M.

[08:13] Kyoko     Hey, would it kill you to point     the camera at this pretty face? [08:17] Uehara     Okay, it's Question Time. [08:19] Uehara     Who's your favorite driver? [08:22] Kyoko     Well, considering I've been     doing this for four years [08:25] Kyoko     and I'm acquainted with all the drivers,     it's not like I can pick a favorite. [08:30] Kyoko     Plus, there's the fact that     I'm not into young guys. [08:33] Uehara     I see. It's true that most of     the drivers are younger than you. [08:39] Kyoko     Excuse me? You got some kind of problem?      Haven't you checked out my profile? [08:44] Kyoko     It says right there that I'm 24. [08:46] Uehara     Yeah, but I'm pretty sure it said that     last year. And the year before that. [08:52] Kyoko     You askin' for a beating, punk? [08:55] Bar Guy     She definitely used to be in a gang. [08:56] Uehara     And that was the fans'     number three, Kyoko-neesan! [09:01] Seven     Being an Angel sure is tough. [09:16] Commentator     The three cars vying for 11th     emerge from the death zone— [09:20] Commentator     Whoa! Through goes the 86! [09:22] Nozomi     Are you kidding? How'd he brake so late? [09:25] Kanata     Sorry. I'm going first this time. [09:32] Commentator     The 86 made its move on     the 18 at the Ohiradai hairpin. [09:36] Commentator     The approach to that curve must be a     tough one, given the lateral Gs involved. [09:41] Kogashiwa     It's remarkable. [09:42] Kogashiwa     He's able to manage the G-force     while decelerating with relative ease. [09:47] Kogashiwa     His finesse in utilizing all four tires     to decelerate is honestly astounding. [09:51] Kogashiwa     He almost overcooked it in the entry phase, [09:54] Kogashiwa     but he did an amazing job     of correcting his line. [09:57] Commentator     It seems the pupil of the "Tragic Rallyist,"     Fujiwara Takumi, is truly something special. [10:04] Commentator     So we have Katagiri Kanata, who learned     Fujiwara Takumi's techniques at RDRS, [10:08] Commentator     and Porsche Academy     graduate, Beckenbauer. [10:10] Commentator     Do you see similarities between     these two European-raised drivers? [10:14] Kogashiwa     Hm, well, superficially at least,      they have a lot in common. [10:18] Kogashiwa     But I think on a foundational level,     they're very different. [10:22] Kogashiwa     Beckenbauer received a spartan education      scientifically designed to produce brilliance. [10:27] Kogashiwa     You could call him a     third-generation simulator driver. [10:31] Kogashiwa     He's like a cyborg that     never makes mistakes. [10:34] Kogashiwa     But I don't see any of that mechanical     perfection in Katagiri-kun's driving. [10:39] Kogashiwa     You could maybe say he's the kind of     random mutation that can't be grown in a lab. [10:44] Kogashiwa     He's got a very distinct vibe     about him that's hard to pin down. [10:49] Kogashiwa     I'd say he's still got a few rough edges, [10:52] Kogashiwa     but that just means he has     greater potential for growth. [10:56] Kogashiwa     I will add, however, that I doubt he can     threaten the leaders this time around. [11:01] Kogashiwa     His car is just too down on power. [11:03] Ogata     You don't have to keep saying it. [11:05] Kogashiwa     For his future racing career... [11:06] Kogashiwa     ...I hope he will make the most     of the experience he gains here. [11:11] Kogashiwa     We really are witnessing the     debut of a promising talent. [11:14] Kogashiwa     I'd say he and Beckenbauer are the     rising stars of this new MFG generation. [11:20] Joyu     The second Kogashiwa found out     he was Fujiwara Takumi's student, [11:24] Joyu     he started talking him up. [11:25] Commentator     Whoa! [11:27] Commentator     Is he making his move?! [11:38] Sign     MF Ghost [11:38] Sign     MF Ghost [11:38] Sign     MF Ghost [11:38] Sign     MF Ghost [11:39] Kanata     MF Ghost. [11:39] Sign     MF Ghost [11:43] Sign     MF Ghost [11:43] Sign     MF Ghost [11:43] Sign     MF Ghost [11:43] Sign     MF Ghost [11:44] Kanata     MF Ghost. [11:49] Kakeru     Trying to pass me around     the outside? I don't think so! [11:53] Kakeru     Damn. The traction     control's holding me back. [12:01] Commentator     The 86 overtakes the 16! [12:04] Commentator     That pass was smooth as butter!     I've got chills, folks! [12:08] Commentator     The rookie's up into 11th!     Katagiri Kanata is not to be trifled with! [12:13] Kogashiwa     That's the perfect example of     what makes Katagiri-kun so puzzling. [12:17] Kogashiwa     He just suddenly goes and does things     even veteran drivers would think impossible. [12:25] Kogashiwa     I'm finding it hard to imagine myself     making a move out of nowhere like that. [12:29] Kogashiwa     I can only imagine he has     some sort of sixth sense for it. [12:33] Nozomi     Bro, he totally got you. So lame. [12:36] Kakeru     It's not funny, dumbass! [12:38] Kakeru     Booth, do you read me? We're gonna pull     ahead of him again on the Kamaboko Straight. [12:43] Kakeru     Calculate how close we need to stay to him. [12:45] Yamaya     Got it. Gimme a sec. [12:49] Yamaya     Done! Be within 4.2 seconds by the Seijo     Bypass intersection just before Kamaboko. [12:55] Yamaya     Stay inside that and     you can turn this around. [12:58] Kakeru     Hear that, Nozomi? You'd better keep up! [13:00] Nozomi     What's got you so fired-up? [13:03] Kakeru     Call it masculine pride. The thought of losing     to some pretty boy in a race pisses me off. [13:08] Kakeru     But it's fine that he trounces you     in the looks department? [13:10] Kakeru     Shut the hell up! [13:13] Staff     Mami-san, could you please     update the leaderboard? [13:16] Mami     Coming! [13:18] Sign     Katagiri [13:18] Sign     Katagiri [13:18] Sign     Katagiri [13:19] Sign     Katagiri [13:22] Kyoko     Most people would fix a wedgie      without even thinking, right? [13:26] Kyoko     But she just lets her butt     hang out and heads up there. [13:31] Kyoko     The other Angels call her "Butt Bongo Mami." [13:35] Kyoko     Most girls would be embarrassed walking     around like that, but she uses it to get fans. [13:39] Kyoko     She's a shrewd one. [13:41] Kyoko     Gotta admit, I couldn't do that. [13:44] Uehara     Now, a question for Mami-chan. [13:45] Uehara     Who's your favorite driver? [13:47] Mami     My favorite is the rookie,     Katagiri Kanata-kun. [13:52] Kyoko     What's up? That was quite a reaction. [13:55] Seven     Huh? O-Oh, nothing. Don't worry. [14:00] Mami     I saw him up close during the pre-race     ceremony and couldn't take my eyes off him. [14:05] Mami     He looked more like a model in a     fashion magazine than a racing driver. [14:09] Mami     He might be younger than me,     but I'm definitely rooting for him. [14:15] Seven     I don't like her one bit. [14:27] Ishigami     It's amazing how much speed     he's retaining on this tight exit road. [14:31] Ishigami     Is he compensating for the Cayman's weakness     by carrying speed into the Kamaboko Straight? [14:36] Ishigami     I couldn't pull that off. [14:39] Ishigami     And he's doing it with     strut-based rear suspension, [14:42] Ishigami     compared to my multi-link Carrera... [14:46] Ishigami     It's like every move you make     is executed to perfection. [14:52] Commentator     The leaders dive into the long straight! [15:06] Commentator     Will the Cayman or the Carrera be     in first at the start of the second lap? [15:10] Commentator     There's still no telling what might happen.     This race is nowhere near over! [15:16] Commentator     And seven seconds back,     we find the group racing for third! [15:21] Commentator     They're going at it like     it's a regular drag race! [15:25] Commentator     Sakamoto's 5 car is an Audi R8 with     a 5.2-liter naturally aspirated V10, [15:30] Commentator     while Aiba's 9 car has     a 3.8-liter V6 twin-turbo. [15:34] Commentator     Yes, it's Japan's strongest     trump card: the Nissan GTR! [15:41] Commentator     Up against Germany's ultimate cars,     he's still breathing down their necks. [15:45] Commentator     Now, let's see what the     Kamikaze Outlaw, Aiba Shun, can do! [15:49] Aiba     I've got the perfect slipstream. [15:52] Aiba     I got this! [15:53] Aiba     That kiss from Number Seven is mine! [16:01] Commentator     Looks like he's going for it. [16:03] Commentator     They're side by side! [16:06] Commentator     And the 9 car powers past the 5 car! [16:10] Commentator     Aiba in the 9 is up to third place! [16:13] Sign     M.

[16:29] Commentator     We see car after car     entering the long straight. [16:38] Commentator     Here's the pair fighting for eighth. [16:40] Commentator     The Lamborghini Huracán     with a 5.2-liter NA V10 [16:44] Commentator     is battling hard with the 3.9-liter     V8 twin-turbo Ferrari 488 GTB. [16:51] Commentator     It's a clash of two 800-plus horsepower     beasts dripping with Italian machismo! [17:00] Commentator     And there he goes! [17:02] Commentator     Akaba Kaito leaps out of the Lambo's     slipstream with pinpoint timing! [17:06] Oishi     Screw you, Akaba! [17:12] Akaba     What's wrong? You're not keeping up. [17:14] Akaba     Have you really fallen off that much? [17:18] Commentator     And it's a successful overtake! [17:20] Commentator     Odawara's Kamaboko Straight is proving     why it's the birthplace of many a drama! [17:39] Kakeru     How far behind are we, booth? [17:41] Yamaya     As of Hakone-Yumoto station, 3.2 seconds. [17:43] Yamaya     This part's pretty flat     so you can gain some more. [17:45] Kakeru     Damn right I can! [17:49] Kakeru     Time to leave the 86 in the dust. [17:57] Kakeru     Got ya. [17:59] Kakeru     Look sharp, Nozomi! [18:00] Nozomi     Okay, bro! [18:02] Kakeru     Time for a slipstream! [18:07] Commentator     The Kamaboko Straight continues     to be a major hurdle for the 86. [18:11] Commentator     The Yashi-Kita Gang are     steadily gaining on him. [18:14] Commentator     This is rough for Katagiri Kanata! [18:22] Commentator     And now, they slipstream past him! [18:28] Nozomi     Link up with us, Kanata. We'll pull you along. [18:35] Nozomi     I don't wanna hear any whining, bro.     Three cars make for a better slipstream. [18:41] Kakeru     No complaints here. [18:43] Kakeru     But, man, he's at the perfect distance.     Not too close, not too far back. [18:48] Kakeru     He really knows how to slipstream. [18:51] Kakeru     He must be seriously seasoned. [18:54] Ogata     This is Ogata! Are you reading me, Kanata? [18:57] Ogata     What the heck is happening? Your top     speed is way higher than in qualifying. [19:02] Ogata     There's no drone footage     so I can't see what's going on. [19:05] Kanata     It's a tow. [19:07] Kanata     Oh, sorry. In Europe,     we call a slipstream a "tow." [19:12] Kanata     I'm in the pocket of air created     by the two cars in front of me. [19:16] Kanata     It's cutting down on drag and     giving me more from sixth gear. [19:20] Kanata     I'm near the braking point,     so I have to cut this short. Over. [19:29] Ogata     Unbelievable. [19:31] Ogata     He's managing to minimize the time loss from     his biggest obstacle, the Kamaboko Straight. [19:39] (Flashback) Kanata     Slipstreams... [19:41] Ogata     Was using the Yashi-Kita Gang's     slipstream his plan from the very start? [19:48] Ogata     I saw on the telemetry that he started to     lift and coast around Hakone-Yumoto station... [19:55] Ogata     That naturally lost him some pace. [19:57] Ogata     Given that he was fine     on fuel, I wondered why. [20:01] Ogata     What if he was adjusting his timing to     link up with the two cars behind him? [20:05] Ogata     So while battling with the Lotus and Alfa,     he gauged their engine power, [20:09] Ogata     and that let him control where they'd     catch him on the Kamaboko Straight? [20:14] Ogata     Can't be. That'd just be way too calculating. [20:18] Ogata     I've gotta be imagining it, right? [20:22] Commentator     The two leaders are     through the starting gate. [20:28] Commentator     Ishigami in the 1 car trails     Beckenbauer in the 12! [20:31] Commentator     And at last, we enter     the second lap of the race! [20:35] Kogashiwa     This is the power section, [20:37] Kogashiwa     which means Ishigami-kun has     a real chance to turn it around. [20:44] Commentator     Aiba in the 9 is clear of the 5 car! [20:47] Commentator     He's now in the podium places! [20:49] Man A     Go for it, Aiba! [20:50] Man A     Don't let those German cars beat you! [20:53] Commentator     The cars at the front start     their second lap one after another. [20:56] Commentator     The roar of the exhausts as the cars zoom     over the start/finish line is deafening! [21:11] Commentator     The 16, 18, and 86     ascend toward the toll plaza. [21:16] Kogashiwa     We're seeing real sparks fly     between these three cars. [21:24] Staff     Okay, Number Seven,     please update the leaderboard. [21:31] Seven     Right.

[01:05] Seven     Oh, shoot! [01:07] Seven     I let my guard down. [01:09] Uehara     Now that's done, let's hit     Number Seven with a question. [01:13] Uehara     Who's your favorite driver? [01:17] Seven     U-Um, I only just joined the Angels,     so I don't really know the drivers yet. [01:24] Ren Dad     Liar. [01:25] Ren Dad     You know one of them real well.      This is a riot. Right, dear? [01:29] Mayuko     Please don't heckle your daughter. [01:34] Seven     I can't label someone     I don't know as my favorite. [01:37] Seven     So I want to spend my first year     working really hard as one of the Angels, [01:41] Seven     and learn about MFG. [01:44] Seven     I'm sorry, but that's     all I can say right now. [01:48] Seven     The end. [01:49] Uehara     She's got a bit of a tsundere streak. [01:51] Uehara     That was a fresh outlook from     the new recruit, Number Seven! [02:01] Commentator     And so, all 14 cars still running     have now started their second lap. [02:06] Commentator     This is where it really     heats up, Kogashiwa-san. [02:08] Kogashiwa     I'd say so, yeah. Most drivers try to     conserve their tires on the first lap.

[05:02] Taylor     There are three drivers in MFG     I consider exceptional. [05:06] Taylor     Beckenbauer is one.     He's a completely different animal. [05:10] Taylor     Then, there's you, Akaba. [05:13] Taylor     As for the third... [05:15] Taylor     That'd be last year's fourth-placed driver,     who didn't even show up for this race. [05:25] Sana     Huh? Hey, Ko-kun. [05:28] Sana     Isn't that an MFG race on      the big screen over there? [05:31] Sana     It's gotta be a repeat     of an old one, right? [05:33] Sawatari     Nope, it's live footage. [05:35] Sana     Wait, what? Shouldn't you be racing in it? [05:38] Sana     Is it okay for you to be here, Ko-kun? [05:41] Sawatari     Of course it is.      After all, it's your birthday, Sana. [05:46] Sana     Huh? But if you don't race,     you won't earn any money. [05:50] Sawatari     You don't need to worry about that, Sana. [05:53] Sawatari     I came fourth last year. Do you even     know how much money I made? [05:58] Sana     Still, I can't help feeling     nervous all the time. [06:02] Sana     I mean, you're older, you're hot,      and you're a celebrity to boot. [06:07] Sana     I get anxious because even if you don't      approach girls, they come up to you. [06:11] Sign     No Fear of Blind Corners [06:11] Sign     The MFG Theme Song [06:11] Sana     Plus, the Angels are     all cuties with great bodies. [06:15] Sawatari     The angels are all old hags     compared to you, Sana. [06:19] Sana     Oh, c'mon. [06:20] Sana     I'm just a totally normal     high school student. [06:24] Sawatari     That's not true. [06:26] Sawatari     You're more than normal. [06:29] Sawatari     You're special, Sana. [06:32] Sawatari     I mean, you're 17, right? [06:36] Sawatari     Ah, 17. [06:39] Sawatari     How I love the sound of it. [06:42] Sawatari     That number that shakes     my soul to its very core. [06:46] Sawatari     There's only two things I love     with all my heart in this world. [06:50] Sawatari     The first is how I fall head     over heels for 17 year old girls. [06:55] Sawatari     And the other is how I feel when I'm behind     the steering wheel and pushing to the limit. [07:01] Sawatari     It's just so cool. [07:04] Sawatari     By comparison, the money doesn't matter. [07:06] Sawatari     I'll spend it all on a girl, then once     it's gone, I'll risk my life to earn more. [07:13] Sawatari     Let's go get you a birthday present, Sana. [07:16] Sawatari     Let's really live it up. Unlimited budget! [07:20] Sana     You're so awesome, Ko-kun. [07:34] Ishigami's Second     You need to attack, Ishigami-san! [07:36] Ishigami's Second     If you don't get him in Sector 1,     your chances of winning are— [07:39] Ishigami     I don't need you to tell me that. [07:41] Ishigami     Just shut up! You're distracting me! [07:45] Ishigami     I was so convinced this baby's     engine made it invincible. [07:50] Ishigami     Out of all the cars competing in MFG, [07:52] Ishigami     this is the only one that can reach     9000 RPM with a flat-six that has 500 HP. [07:57] Ishigami     And yet, it somehow feels     underpowered right now. [08:01] Ishigami     It's not enough. [08:02] Ishigami     It's still not enough to compete with him. [08:06] Ishigami     He's got no openings.     There's no angle of attack I can take! [08:15] Commentator     There are several points in Sector 1 where     a car at full throttle can exceed 200 kph. [08:22] Commentator     I bet some viewers are asking how our drones     that have a max speed of 180 kph can keep up. [08:29] Commentator     Well, these flying drones     can turn faster than the cars, [08:33] Commentator     so any losses on the straights     are clawed back in the corners. [08:42] Aiba     This ain't good. It's looking kinda bad for me. [08:47] Aiba     Come on, Lady Luck. I need your help. [08:52] Aiba     For my beloved Number Seven! [08:54] Sign     Emergency [08:54] Sign     Escape [08:54] Sign     Ramp [09:04] Ogata     This is Ogata. Do you read me, Kanata? [09:06] Kanata     Loud and clear. Over. [09:08] Ogata     You sure you're not going too fast?     I'm worried about your tires. [09:12] Ogata     In qualifying, they were     about 80% worn after one lap. [09:16] Ogata     If you go into the second lap with the same     approach, you'll run out of grip halfway. [09:22] Kanata     It's not a problem, Ogata-san. [09:24] Kanata     They drilled tire management     into us at the academy. [09:29] Kanata     I know from experience how long I can go in     a stint—or rather, the distance I can drive... [09:35] Kanata     before all the grip     from a set of tires is gone. [09:39] Kanata     It's bad to burn through them too quickly,     but worse to have rubber left at the end. [09:43] Kanata     I won't go all out until     the final downhill section. [09:49] Kanata     I'm confident I can execute that task      better than anyone else here. [09:55] Kanata     I believe I can present you with a higher-placed     finish than where I am right now, Ogata-san. [10:01] Kanata     Over. [10:04] Ogata     Crap, I'm getting goosebumps. [10:07] Ogata     And I can't help but tear up after that speech. [10:12] Commentator     Beckenbauer in the 12 isn't letting     Ishigami in the 1 car gain any ground on him. [10:17] Commentator     His pristine white Porsche Cayman has     zoomed past the rest house in first place! [10:22] Commentator     This is a real upheaval. It's hard to imagine     anyone getting past him at this point. [10:28] Commentator     This young man known     as the Stuttgart Slayer [10:31] Commentator     is aiming to obliterate     the two-time champ's prestige. [10:36] Commentator     The 9 car is in third, and the 5 car is in fourth. [10:39] Commentator     Otani in the 7 is on his own in fifth place. [10:41] Commentator     And that brings us to the battle for sixth. [10:44] Commentator     The 2 car is clinging to the rear of the 6! [10:47] Commentator     Will we see Akaba Kaito make his move? [10:50] Commentator     Is this it? [11:04] Commentator     And the 2 car completes a successful     overtake on the 6 car! He's now in sixth! [11:09] Yanagida     Damn. Crawling all over me in a     tight section with that wide-ass car... [11:14] Yanagida     Aren't you being a little     too eager, Akaba Kaito? [11:17] Commentator     Here come more of the pack.     It's Taylor in the 8, followed by Oishi in the 3. [11:22] Oishi     Where's Akaba? Where'd Akaba Kaito get to? [11:25] Oishi Second     He's 9 seconds up the road.     You've got two cars between you. [11:29] Oishi Second     Settle down, Daigo. Stay calm     and focus on getting past the 8. [11:34] Oishi     Damn it. [11:35] Oishi     How the hell am I supposed to stay calm? [11:37] Oishi     Our cars should be evenly matched,     so how'd he get so far ahead in Sector 1? [11:42] Commentator     The Yashi-Kita Gang     are still formation flying. [11:46] Commentator     And about six seconds back,     a red vehicle is climbing up. [11:49] Commentator     Out of the 15 cars in this race,     the Toyota 86 GT is the most down on power. [11:55] Commentator     And since this is the power section,     the cars ahead are pulling away. [11:59] Kogashiwa     This must be a difficult race for Katagiri. [12:03] Kogashiwa     That said, his car's weakness makes the     driver's performance stand out all the more. [12:10] Kogashiwa     Even next to Beckenbauer in the lead and Akaba     Kaito, who's climbing up through the field, [12:16] Kogashiwa     we're seeing a similar level     of driving skill from him. [12:27] Commentator     And back in last place,     the 13 enters Sector 2. [12:37] Kakeru     The second half of the course from Mount Taikan     to the lakeside is in pretty rough shape. [12:43] Kakeru     It's bumpy enough to cause bad vibrations.     And the dust here is no joke. [12:47] Kakeru     Push too hard and you might lose control. [12:51] Kakeru     That should make     any driver a little hesitant. [12:54] Kakeru     So all I can ask is "How?" [12:57] Kakeru     How is he the only one     fiercely picking up speed? [13:15] Kanata     MF Ghost. [13:15] Sign     MF Ghost [13:16] Sign     MF Ghost [13:16] Sign     MF Ghost [13:16] Sign     MF Ghost [13:17] Sign     MF Ghost [13:21] Sign     MF Ghost [13:21] Sign     MF Ghost [13:21] Sign     MF Ghost [13:21] Sign     MF Ghost [13:22] Ogata     MF Ghost. [13:30] Commentator     Beckenbauer's on the cusp     of breaking away in first place. [13:34] Commentator     The 1 car is making no impression.     He's gradually being left behind! [13:43] Commentator     But we're seeing some     activity in the group behind. [13:47] Commentator     Despite driving smoothly before,     the pace of the 9 seems to be dropping off. [13:51] Commentator     The gap he'd built up to the     5 car has almost evaporated. [13:55] Kogashiwa     We're seeing signs of     understeer from the 9 car. [13:59] Kogashiwa     I think his tires are worn thin. [14:03] Aiba     Damn. My front tires wore down     faster than I expected. [14:08] Aiba     I'm struggling to control this thing's     heavy body under braking now. [14:12] Aiba     But my rear traction is fine. [14:15] Aiba     These roads are narrow enough.     I won't let him pass me. [14:18] Aiba     I'm not giving up that kiss from     Number Seven, you dumb son of a bitch. [14:38] Kaito Second     Booth to Kaito. Do you read me? [14:41] Kaito Second     The 9's slowed down quite a bit,     and he's trying to hold on for third. [14:45] Kaito Second     Keep this pace up and     you'll be on him by the end! [14:48] Akaba     Copy that. Though first, I've gotta     catch the AMG in front of me. [14:53] Akaba     I can see his rear end     getting bigger and bigger. [14:59] Commentator     And now, we switch cameras. [15:01] Commentator     Here come the 16, the 18, and the 86. [15:05] Kogashiwa     These three have been     together all through the race. [15:08] Kogashiwa     You could call it the     "Yashi-Kita Gang vs. Katagiri Kanata," [15:12] Kogashiwa     though that doesn't mean their     machines are on an equal footing. [15:16] Kogashiwa     It's more like the 86 car is clinging     to the cars in front for dear life. [15:21] Kogashiwa     I imagine it's frustrating for Yashio     and Kitahara to be chased like that. [15:26] Kogashiwa     They run and run, but he     sticks to them like a shadow. [15:30] Commentator     Yashio Kakeru: 22 years old. [15:33] Commentator     Kitahara Nozomi: 20. [15:34] Commentator     And Katagiri Kanata: 19. [15:37] Commentator     It's a clash between talented,     prideful young drivers! [15:41] Commentator     But who will have the last laugh? [15:46] Kakeru     Stay focused, Nozomi. [15:48] Kakeru     We've gotta carefully make it     through every corner, one by one! [15:51] Kakeru     Even little mistakes add up     to tire degradation over time! [15:55] Nozomi     I know. But are you sure you're not a bit     too worried about who's behind us, Bro? [15:59] Nozomi     I'm not as soft as you think I am. [16:03] Nozomi     If you show enough restraint,     storing up even a single second [16:06] Nozomi     can turn into a huge advantage     when you least expect it. [16:09] Nozomi     That's just how racing works. [16:14] Sign     National Route 1 Apex [16:14] Sign     Kanagawa     Prefecture [16:15] Commentator     The drivers near the highest point on Route 1     as they enter the second half of the final lap. [16:20] Commentator     Everyone's tires are bound to be     steadily losing tread by this point. [16:27] Seven     Wh-What is it, Kyoko-senpai? [16:29] Kyoko     Oh, y'know. I was just     checking out how skinny you are. [16:33] Kyoko     Even as a girl, I felt tempted      to give your waist a touch. [16:37] Seven     I wouldn't say I'm especially thin. You have     a pretty slender waist, too, Kyoko-senpai. [16:44] Kyoko     Only 'cause I hold it in while I'm at work. [16:48] Kyoko     I'm cheating. [16:50] Kyoko     You were on some kind of     sports team, weren't you, Ren-chan? [16:54] Seven     I did track in middle school      and my first year of high school. [16:57] Kyoko     That explains it. I was thinking you had just      the right amount of muscle on those legs. [17:02] Kyoko     If you're a high school     second-year, then you're 17? [17:05] Seven     That's right. [17:06] Kyoko     Wow, 17, huh? [17:08] Kyoko     Nice. That makes you     the youngest Angel ever. [17:13] Kyoko     So, tell me, Ren-chan...     Do you have a boyfriend? [17:16] Seven     No, I don't. [17:18] Seven     I've never even gone out with a guy before. [17:22] Seven     Do you have a boyfriend, Kyoko-senpai?      You seem like you would. [17:27] Kyoko     Not right now, no. [17:29] Kyoko     There is someone I'm interested in, though. [17:32] Kyoko     But it's been all on my side for two years now. [17:35] Seven     That's a surprise. [17:36] Kyoko     I bet. [17:38] Kyoko     Despite how I may seem, I tend to be pretty      buttoned-down when it comes to men. [17:46] Commentator     Here's Taylor in the 9 car and     Oishi in the 3 car fighting over eighth. [17:51] Oishi     Get outta my way, damn it. There's no way     a Lambo sticks to a Porsche's ass for long. [18:02] Oishi     The short straight just after the highest     point on Route 1 is where I'll make my move. [18:07] Oishi     I'll show you what this     5.2-liter V10 engine can do! [18:21] Ogata     The two he caught up to in the first half     of the lap are leaving him behind again. [18:25] Ogata     This climb in the back half     of Sector 2 is pretty steep. [18:29] Ogata     It really drives home how     a racing car needs power. [18:33] Ogata     You can talk all you want about balance,     but horsepower is a major factor, too. [18:40] Ogata     Kanata must feel even more frustrated out     there driving than I do sitting here watching. [18:46] Ogata     I wish he had more power.     What we need is more power! [18:52] Commentator     And the lead car passes     the highest point on Route 1. [18:56] Commentator     This mid-engine Porsche continues to leave     the pack of motorized monsters in its wake. [19:00] Commentator     And that's despite the     flat-four at its heart [19:02] Commentator     being a 2.5-liter engine     with meager displacement. [19:06] Commentator     But behind the steering wheel is the     brilliant driver, Michael Beckenbauer. [19:12] Commentator     In second, it's Ishigami in the 1 car. [19:14] Commentator     Looks like he's cruising and     measuring up the cars behind him. [19:19] Commentator     Here's the group fighting for third. [19:21] Commentator     With Aiba in the 9, and Sakamoto in the 5. [19:25] Commentator     They're both 4WD vehicles, but the 5 is     handicapped by being a mid-engine car. [19:30] Commentator     He's on the verge of catching, but not quite. [19:33] Commentator     But Aiba's Nissan GTR is still picking up     speed out of those sharp exits! [19:38] Commentator     How well can he defend his position?     It's impossible to look away! [19:43] Commentator     Behind them is the battle for fifth. [19:52] Commentator     Whoa! And the Ferrari takes off! [19:55] Commentator     Akaba Kaito is looking fierce! [19:58] Commentator     Now he's used to the racing,     he's showing his true might! [20:00] Commentator     He jumps up into fifth! [20:03] Commentator     A great example of how your placing     in qualifying doesn't matter at all! [20:06] Kogashiwa     Akaba-kun's really going for it. [20:09] Kogashiwa     It'd be hard to rein him in at this point. [20:11] Kogashiwa     It's only a matter of time before     he catches up with the group in third. [20:16] Commentator     And here comes Yanagida     in the 6 car in seventh. [20:18] Commentator     Behind them is the group fighting over     eighth, Taylor in the 8, and Oishi in the 3. [20:28] Commentator     And it looks like the 3 car is going for it! [20:31] Commentator     It's a risky exchange, and they're close     to making contact! Is he going to make it? [20:35] Commentator     It looks like the 3 car     has left the 8 car behind! [20:40] Commentator     Will he be able to close in     on the prancing pony badges? [20:45] Commentator     The charging bull digs its hooves into     the ground in pursuit of its nemesis! [20:50] Commentator     These two Italian models     that were quiet in the first half [20:53] Commentator     are now out to shatter     the German power bloc! [20:58] Commentator     And we're closing in on the     last section of the race. [21:01] Commentator     As the tires wear away,     things will only get harsher. [21:05] Commentator     A descent down the mountains of Hakone     that demands a driver's full focus. [21:10] Commentator     A nightmarish 874 meter downhill! [21:14] Commentator     And here he is, the man who made his name     in Sector 3, driving the bright red 86 GT!

[02:35] Commentator     The pair fighting over third have run at     a steady pace, and the 2 has caught them. [02:41] Commentator     It's now a showdown between     the 9 car, the 5 car, and the 2 car. [02:50] Kogashiwa     This has gotta be tough for Sakamoto-kun,     who's sandwiched between the other two. [02:55] Kogashiwa     His attention will be split     in front and behind. [03:02] Sakamoto     I wasn't expecting the 2 car     to make it this far up. [03:07] Sakamoto     If he slips past me, it'll be     a real pain in the ass to repass him. [03:16] Sakamoto     I'm gonna need to change tactics and     make sure Akaba doesn't get past me. [03:24] Sakamoto     Damn it, Aiba, why are you     pretending to be a pace car? [03:28] Sakamoto     If you're too stupid to manage your tires,     stay out of the damn race! [04:13] Commentator     There's been a major development. [04:15] Commentator     The central computer has just     placed an attention flag on the 86! [04:20] Commentator     This is completely unprecedented! I can't     remember a single time it's happened before! [04:25] Commentator     In qualifying, sure, but not in a race! [04:27] Commentator     Kogashiwa-san,     what's going on? [04:29] Kogashiwa     It's hard to say. What I'm     looking at defies imagination. [04:34] Kogashiwa     There's no way his tires haven't lost some      of their grip. It's a physical impossibility. [05:14] Nozomi     Bro! [05:16] Kakeru     I know. You don't have to tell me.     He's already in my mirrors. [05:20] Kakeru     We should've had the same margin entering     Sector 3 that we had on the first lap. [05:24] Kakeru     So what the hell is going on? [05:26] Kakeru     He caught up with us a lot faster. [05:40] Kakeru     If he can pass us before     we enter the death zone, [05:44] Kakeru     even with a slipstream, we won't be able     to catch him on the Kamaboko Straight. [05:48] Kakeru     I hate to do this, but there's no other choice. [05:52] Kakeru     Nozomi! Change of plan! [05:54] Kakeru     We'll alter our lines and keep him      hemmed in! Blocking formation! [05:58] Nozomi     Gotcha— [06:09] Nozomi     He made his move before we could. [06:14] Nozomi     The second he caught up, he went to     overtake me without any hesitation. [06:20] Kakeru     Damn. He's in between us now. [06:23] Kakeru     But keeping him pinned in     between two cars works out fine for us. [06:26] Kakeru     There's no way he can escape now. [06:29] Kakeru     Sandwich formation time! [06:31] Kakeru     We'll pen him in until     the Kamaboko Straight! [06:33] Nozomi     Okay, Bro! [06:48] Ogata     After catching up to the     Yashi-Kita Gang, the flag went away. [06:58] Ogata     Getting stuck between those two cars     has gotta be rough for Kanata. [07:14] Ogata     The Lotus is stopping him from     advancing further with some deft blocking, [07:18] Ogata     while the Alfa Romeo is     pressuring him from behind. [07:27] Ogata     If he leaves himself open at all,     the Alfa's nose will clip him. [07:31] Ogata     What now, Kanata?     How do you deal with this mousetrap? [07:40] Kakeru     I won't let him through on the inside! [07:43] Kanata     This is some fine blocking     by the 18, the Lotus Exige. [07:46] Kanata     It looks like there's no way out     of this without stressing my tires. [07:50] Kanata     Fujiwara-sensei told me: [07:53] Kanata     "However tight it looks, [07:55] Kanata     if there's enough room for three cars     to go side by side, you can get past." [08:04] Kanata     I'm not quite on Fujiwara-sensei's level yet... [08:08] Kanata     But it's three-and-a-half     car-widths here, and that's plenty. [08:14] Kanata     And to conserve my tires,     I'll need to execute this in one go. [08:28] Kakeru     It's gone? The 86 vanished? [08:31] Nozomi     Bro! On your outside! [08:37] Kakeru     Are you kidding me? [08:52] Nozomi     It's like his car warped to the side. [09:02] Nozomi     I've never seen anything like it. [09:05] Kakeru     This ain't right. I'm in a Lotus, damn it. [09:08] Kakeru     They're supposed to be the equal of all other     manufacturers when it comes to cornering. [09:13] Kakeru     It's a legacy that stretches all the way back     to when Colin Chapman was building them. [09:19] Kakeru     It should trump a Toyota 86     in every single department! [09:25] Commentator     And he's through! The 86 is on the move! [09:28] Commentator     He's in front of the Yashi-Kita Gang now,     and it happened in the blink of an eye! [09:34] Commentator     When they talk about "lightning fast,"     this must be what they mean! [09:39] Commentator     If you could see my arms right now,     you'd be disgusted by all the goosebumps! [09:44] Kogashiwa     Likewise. What we just saw     has genuinely shaken me. [09:49] Kogashiwa     I never would've imagined that the 86     still had enough grip in its tires to do that. [09:55] Kogashiwa     I thought he'd been torturing his tires     to compensate for his car's weaknesses... [10:00] Kogashiwa     But it just goes to show     how wide the world is. [10:04] Commentator     This is the driving of the super elite     Katagiri Kanata, from England's famous RDRS! [10:11] Commentator     There seems to be no limit to what he can do! [10:15] Seven     The announcer, Tanaka-san,     is talking about Kanata... [10:20] Kyoko     About what you said before... [10:22] Kyoko     Is it true you've never     gone out with anyone? [10:27] Kyoko     You have to be popular,     given how cute you are. [10:29] Seven     No, I'm not popular at all. [10:31] Kyoko     Seriously? [10:32] Seven     Yeah. I mean, boys have     confessed to me before, but... [10:37] Seven     I get cold feet. I just have     no confidence in my personality. [10:44] Seven     I'm an only child, [10:46] Seven     and since I was little, my parents have     always said I'm selfish and self-centered. [10:51] Seven     When I think about dating, I start worrying     the other person might end up hating me. [10:59] Kyoko     You think so? You seem     sweet enough to me, Ren-chan. [11:06] Kyoko     And honestly, even if that is true, it's all     the more reason to experience romance. [11:11] Kyoko     Love helps a girl grow. [11:15] Kyoko     You can't be too selfish      when it comes to love. [11:19] Kyoko     You have to consider how     the other person feels, too. [11:23] Kyoko     And if you care about the other person,      you learn to do it naturally. [11:29] Kyoko     Romance isn't just about fun.     There's plenty of hurt involved, too. [11:34] Kyoko     But you can't develop as a person     if you're afraid of getting hurt. [11:39] Kyoko     So if you wanna get on my level,     you need to experience some quality romance. [11:44] Kyoko     And to do that, you need to find the right guy. [11:51] Seven     That was really encouraging! [11:54] Seven     I get in my head so much,     I tend to overthink this stuff. [11:59] Seven     To be honest, there's someone     I really like right now. [12:03] Seven     Kyoko-senpai, can I get relationship     advice from you going forward, too? [12:07] Kyoko     Of course you can. [12:08] Sign     Katagiri Kanata [12:08] Kyoko     Anytime you need it. [12:11] Commentator     And now, we switch     to the battle for third. [12:19] Kogashiwa     Now that they've entered the ghost town     death zone, their pace has slowed a little. [12:28] Commentator     Even the punchy Akaba Kaito     has calmed it down for this stretch. [12:34] Commentator     It's an area of low visibility and few straights,     and these three cars are on the larger side. [12:39] Commentator     It's fair to say there won't be     many chances to pass for now. [12:43] Commentator     I'd put money on this stalemate     continuing into the back end of Sector 3. [13:10] Commentator     And as the drone for the 86     struggles to keep up, [13:13] Commentator     just now, it caught     a glimpse of the car in front. [13:19] Commentator     For the first time since the start, [13:21] Commentator     Katagiri Kanata has the 10 car's     Emile Hänninen in his sights. [13:32] Commentator     The rookie in his first race floors it     as he aims to breach the top ten! [13:40] Sign     MF Ghost [13:41] Kanata     MF Ghost. [13:41] Sign     MF Ghost [13:41] Sign     MF Ghost [13:41] Sign     MF Ghost [13:42] Sign     MF Ghost [13:46] Sign     MF Ghost [13:46] Sign     MF Ghost [13:46] Sign     MF Ghost [13:46] Sign     MF Ghost [13:47] Ogata     MF Ghost. [13:51] Commentator     The most difficult part of     Sector 3 is coming into view. [14:01] Commentator     The red car disappears into the milky-white     clouds. He is now in the death zone! [14:07] Kanata     Ogata-san, I have a request. [14:10] Ogata     Name it! Whatever you want! [14:12] Kanata     I can see the course in this fog, clear as day. [14:16] Ogata     What's he saying? [14:18] Kanata     But I can't see the other cars in it. [14:21] Kanata     I want you to call out the distance to the car     in front every time I'm a full second closer. [14:28] Ogata     You got it. [14:29] Ogata     Though I don't really get why. [14:32] Ogata     Right now, you have the 10 in front     of you. He's 2.6 seconds up the road. [14:36] Kanata     Roger. [14:52] Ogata     Now it's two seconds flat. [14:54] Ogata     Is this what you wanted? Over. [14:56] Kanata     Exactly like that. Thanks. [15:12] Ogata     One second exactly. Over! [15:14] Kanata     Roger. [15:21] Kanata     Five. [15:22] Kanata     Four. [15:23] Kanata     Three. [15:24] Kanata     Two. [15:25] Kanata     One. [15:29] E.Han     What? [15:40] E.Han     Crazy boy! [15:49] Commentator     Katagiri Kanata has dispatched Hänninen! [15:54] Commentator     He attacked at the exact moment     the 10's taillights became visible! [15:59] Commentator     Using his lightning reflexes,     he dived into the slightest of openings! [16:04] Kogashiwa     I don't see how you can     plan that kind of move.

[16:12] Kogashiwa     I've been racing for a long time,     but I've never seen anything like it. [16:27] Kakeru     Kakeru to booth. Tell me where the 86 is. [16:31] Yamatani     Don't worry about that. Just focus on your      surroundings. You're in the death zone. [16:37] Kakeru     Damn, when you reply like that,     it just makes me even more curious. [16:41] Yamatani     If you really wanna know, the 86 has passed     the 10, and he's now 15 seconds ahead of you. [16:48] Kakeru     He's that far ahead? [16:51] Kakeru     Is he insane? [16:54] Kakeru     How can he drive like that in this fog?! [17:01] Ogata     Ogata here. The 8 car, the Porsche,     is 3.6 seconds ahead. Over! [17:05] Kanata     Roger. I'll catch him. [17:11] Ogata     This is nuts, Kanata. Totally nuts. [17:14] Ogata     You're in my 86 that goes     for 1.7 million yen used... [17:18] Ogata     and you're closing in on a Carerra GTS     that costs 20 million with options! [17:23] Ogata     Don't you realize Porsche     makes world-class sports cars? [17:26] Ogata     The kind I'll never afford? [17:30] Ogata     Ogata here. Two seconds flat. Over! [17:33] Kanata     Roger! [17:37] Ogata     I think I'm figuring out the point     of this voice countdown. [17:43] Ogata     It's the data he needs to grasp where he is     and where the car in front is relative to that. [17:49] Ogata     He's able to simulate where     he'll catch up to the car in front... [17:56] Ogata     And by the time the other car     emerges from the fog, [18:00] Ogata     he already has a plan to overtake it. [18:05] Ogata     It's not just technique that makes     Kanata's driving superhuman. [18:09] Ogata     It's the way his brain is able     to interpret all of that info. [18:21] Second     Watch yourself, Jackson! There's a car     coming up on you at amazing speed! [18:25] Taylor     Pardon? What'd you say? I don't follow. [18:29] Second     I'm trying to tell you     the 86 is gaining on you, fast! [18:37] Taylor     What's he going on about?     This is no time for jokes. [18:40] Taylor     We're in the middle of the death zone! [18:45] Ogata     Ogata here. One second exactly. Over! [18:48] Kanata     Roger. [18:49] Kanata     Five. [18:51] Kanata     Four. [18:52] Kanata     Three. [18:53] Kanata     Two. [18:54] Kanata     One. [18:57] Taylor     Whoa! [19:03] Taylor     He's going full throttle     in the middle of all this? [19:06] Taylor     Is he suicidal? [19:09] Commentator     The 86 is going through on the 8! [19:16] Commentator     But Taylor's not backing down! [19:18] Commentator     They're side-by-side,     with the fog wrecking their visibility! [19:23] Commentator     It's a terrifying sight!     Enough to give you chills just watching! [19:26] Commentator     Neither man is driving sensibly! [19:29] Commentator     This is the kind of fearless driving     that gives MFG racers their reputation! [19:36] Commentator     Neither is giving way!     Who will come out on top? [19:52] Taylor     I'm not gonna keep this up. [19:55] Taylor     I don't feel like risking my life. [20:01] Commentator     Taylor gradually fades. [20:04] Commentator     And the 86 pulls ahead! [20:07] Commentator     He's made it up into ninth place!     He's in single digits! [20:12] Customer     Awesome. [20:13] Customer     Katagiri Kanata is awesome! [20:16] Commentator     Kogashiwa-san, don't just sit there.     What just happened? [20:20] Kogashiwa     Sorry. I don't even know     what to say at this point. [20:24] Kogashiwa     Just watching that was scary enough for us. [20:28] Kogashiwa     Despite the poor visibility, he drove     those three corners with surgical precision. [20:34] Kogashiwa     Taylor-kun tried to demonstrate the     pride that put him to eighth last year, [20:37] Kogashiwa     but it only took him so far. [20:41] Kogashiwa     Something about Katagiri-kun     is fundamentally different. [20:47] Kogashiwa     This is just speculation on my part, [20:50] Kogashiwa     but I think Katagiri Kanata     might have a clear idea [20:55] Kogashiwa     of what this course     looks like without the fog. [20:58] Commentator     But this is his first time competing. [21:00] Commentator     This should be the first time     he's raced on an MFG road course. [21:04] Kogashiwa     You're right about that. [21:06] Kogashiwa     But I have to wonder if he has some kind     of unique memorization ability others don't. [21:16] Kogashiwa     And that might be the special element [21:19] Kogashiwa     that makes Katagiri Kanata's     extraordinary performance possible. [21:26] Keisuke     C'mon, Kogashiwa. That's going overboard. [21:29] Keisuke     I know he's Fujiwara's student,     but you don't have to hype him up that much. [21:35] Keisuke     That said, in qualifying, it seemed like     he was copying the demo run perfectly, [21:40] Keisuke     whereas in the race, he's been     changing it up to better suit his own style. [21:46] Keisuke     He's a smart kid. [23:30] Narration     Next time, Turn 09: The 300 kph Dogfight.

[00:22] Taylor     Whoa! [00:27] Taylor     He's going full throttle     in the middle of all this? [00:30] Taylor     Is he suicidal? [00:36] Taylor     I'm not gonna keep this up. [00:38] Taylor     I don't feel like risking my life. [01:34] Man A     Ever hear about the "phantom of the demo run"? [01:36] Man B     Hm? You talking about those course guide     videos posted on MFG's official website? [01:40] Man A     Yeah, them. The shots are a mix      of onboards and drone footage. [01:45] Man A     It's the same car and I think the     same driver driving all the courses. [01:50] Man A     And before Beckenbauer showed up     to the final race of last year, [01:53] Man A     it held all the course records by a distance. [01:56] Man B     So who the heck's driving? I gotta know! [02:04] Keisuke     In qualifying, it seemed like     he was copying the demo run perfectly, [02:10] Keisuke     whereas in the race, he's been     changing it up to better suit his own style. [02:16] Keisuke     He's a smart kid. [02:30] Commentator     The 86 is out of the death zone. [02:33] Commentator     And he's gracefully cleared     the Ohiradai hairpin. [02:40] Keisuke     If I'm right, the driver of the 86 has     a major flaw that hasn't been exposed yet. [02:49] Keisuke     Any ideas what it is, Kenta? [02:53] Kenta     If we're talking flaws... I'm not sure. [02:57] Kenta     Watching him, I'm reminded     of Fujiwara's old acrobatic style. [03:02] Kenta     Could you tell me, boss?     You've got me curious. [03:05] Keisuke     Think about it yourself a bit more, man. [03:08] Keisuke     This is why you never learn. [03:10] Keisuke     And if you don't up your game,     I'm never sending you back to the factory. [03:14] Genta     So I can go back to parts     development if I get this right? [03:18] Keisuke     Not right away, no. There isn't     enough money in the parts market. [03:21] Keisuke     Plus, our big earner     right now is real estate. [03:24] Keisuke     And you've got an eye for     property, like a landshark. [03:27] Genta     Boss, don't make me sound like a gangster. [03:33] Man C     The Godly 15 have been     duking it out in all these monsters, [03:37] Man C     but no one beat one of the times     set in the demo runs until last year? [03:42] Man A     MFG's PR never said a word about it, [03:45] Man A     but they probably hired a top-class driver     whose style suits racing on public roads. [03:50] Man B     That's a classic car, though.     A manual with only five gears. [03:55] Man A     You hardly ever see cars like that on the     road anymore. What was it called again? [04:01] Man C     Uh, I think it was a... something-7? [04:30] Sign     MF Ghost [05:39] Sign     m 0 0 l 100 0 100 100 0 100 [05:39] Sign     The 300 kph Dogfight [05:42] Ogata     Ogata here. Let's see... [05:45] Ogata     The car up ahead is the 3... [05:48] Kanata     Kanata to Ogata-san. [05:50] Kanata     I'm clear of the fog now, so there's     no need to continue the voice countdown. [05:53] Ogata     Is that right? [05:56] Kanata     Between the downhill part ending and my tires      wearing out, things are a bit tight on this end. [06:02] Kanata     But I'll do what I can. Over. [06:08] Commentator     The 86's blitz continues. [06:11] Commentator     Its performance in     Sector 3 really stood out. [06:22] Commentator     Up front, Beckenbauer in the 12     passes the Tonosawa hot springs district. [06:29] Commentator     He's displaying flawless race management. [06:31] Commentator     This German racing cyborg is     driving with the air of a champion. [06:37] Commentator     It's fair to say he now has a 99% chance     of winning the first race of the season. [06:44] Commentator     The 1 car is 13 seconds behind him     in an uncontested second place. [06:49] Kogashiwa     It's hard to feel any of the momentum     Ishigami-kun had last year at this point. [06:54] Commentator     He's been on the definitive losing side      in this Porsche duel, after all. [06:59] Kogashiwa     I imagine all of the Godly 15,     including Ishigami-kun, [07:02] Kogashiwa     will be thinking about     how to topple Beckenbauer. [07:06] Commentator     That may just end up being     the theme of this season's MFG. [07:12] Commentator     Here's the group      fighting for third. [07:15] Commentator     And surprisingly,     Aiba in the 9 is holding firm. [07:19] Commentator     He's clinging on      to third place. [07:21] Kogashiwa     I always had the impression that Aiba-kun      was temperamental and had a short fuse. [07:26] Kogashiwa     Which can be great when attacking,     but feels more precarious when defending. [07:32] Kogashiwa     But he seems different this season.      I feel like he's grown. [07:36] Commentator     What could be behind this change? [07:43] Aiba     I'm not letting anyone take Number Seven's     kiss away from me, you dumbasses! [07:49] Commentator     The group battling over third     is coming up to Asahibashi Bridge. [07:54] Commentator     There are two routes     the drivers can take here, [07:56] Commentator     with most choosing the left lane     because it's a better line. [08:01] Commentator     But sometimes, drivers will opt to     go right to try to gain an advantage. [08:06] Commentator     Oh! The 2 car takes the right lane! [08:09] Commentator     They cross the Hayakawa River     before merging again. [08:13] Commentator     How will this shake out? It's gonna be tight! [08:21] Commentator     They almost make contact! [08:23] Commentator     That was very touch and go,     but there's no review flag. [08:27] Commentator     Akaba Kaito has successfully     overtaken Sakamoto in the 5 car! [08:31] Customer D     Damn, Akaba! [08:34] Customer E     I thought they were gonna make contact!     And those cars are both expensive as hell! [08:39] Sakamoto     How's that move not being reviewed?     Give the judges an earful, booth! [08:43] Sakamoto SC     I can try, but the flag just didn't come up! [08:46] Sakamoto     That's bullcrap! Are they blind?     We would've crashed if I hadn't backed off. [08:51] Commentator     Here we see the 6 and the 3     fighting over seventh place. [08:56] Commentator     And gaining on them quickly     with both cars in its sights is the 86! [09:02] Commentator     He was within four seconds of them,     but they're now gradually pulling away. [09:06] Commentator     It seems the gulf in power     is just too large to overcome. [09:10] Kogashiwa     Just getting this high up      is impressive enough. [09:13] Kogashiwa     He only has a 2-liter engine, after all. [09:17] Kanata     The two cars in front of me     are extremely powerful. [09:20] Kanata     Even if I work the tires hard,     they'll still get away. [09:24] Kanata     So I'll focus on maintaining     my current position instead. [09:28] Kanata     Sorry, Ogata-san. [09:34] Taylor SC     Booth to Jackson. Do you read me? [09:37] Taylor SC     You're 4.7 seconds away from the 86. [09:40] Taylor SC     Now the course has evened out,     his pace is dropping. [09:43] Taylor SC     It'll come down to     the last long straight. [09:46] Taylor SC     Time to get revenge for     what happened in the fog. [09:48] Taylor SC     Show him what being     ranked eighth means to you! [09:51] Taylor     That's exactly the plan. [09:54] Taylor     No way am I gonna finish behind     a car with a 2-liter NA engine. [09:59] Taylor     No way in hell! [10:10] Commentator     The group fighting over third     roars onto the Kamaboko Straight! [10:16] Commentator     Grinding their gas pedals into the floor     as if to express their building frustration, [10:21] Commentator     these three beasts     accelerate with prejudice! [10:27] Commentator     And the 2 car is the first to make a move! [10:29] Commentator     He's alongside the 9! [10:31] Commentator     On paper, his V8 twin-turbo is the     most powerful engine in this trio! [10:36] Commentator     It's definitely fast! [10:38] Sakamoto     Not yet. It's too soon to make a move. [10:41] Aiba     You piece of crap! [10:45] Commentator     Oh, wow. The 9 car slips in behind the 2. [10:48] Commentator     At this point, all three cars     are going in excess of 300 kph! [10:53] Commentator     What a sight. It's a street fight at 300 kph. [10:57] Commentator     But once they cross under the Seisho bypass,     they'll almost be at the braking point. [11:03] Commentator     And all three drivers stand on the brakes! [11:05] Commentator     The 9 car is parallel with     the 2 as they start braking! [11:09] Commentator     All three cars are in a line! [11:11] Commentator     What's going to happen in     this three-way game of chicken? [11:17] Sakamoto     You really are an idiot. [11:19] Akaba     This is goodbye. [11:20] Aiba     I'm gonna get that kiss from Number Seven! [11:26] Commentator     The 9 car devastatingly overshoots! [11:39] Sign     MF Ghost [11:40] Sign     MF Ghost [11:40] Sign     MF Ghost [11:40] Sign     MF Ghost [11:40] Ren     MF Ghost.

[11:50] Commentator     The 9 car devastatingly overshoots! [11:54] Customer D     Aw, he blew it! [11:56] Customer E     The "Kamikaze" blew the wrong way! [11:58] Customer F     You can count on him to steal the spotlight! [12:01] Customer D     Aiba always entertains! [12:03] Aiba     Number Seven's kiss...     I'm such a freaking stupid idiot. [12:08] Commentator     He scrambles to get back on the course,     but he ends up behind Otani in the 7. [12:14] Kogashiwa     Seems the 9 didn't have enough tire life     left to compete in that battle on the brakes. [12:19] Commentator     Hang in there, Aiba Shun!     You're Odawara's hometown hero! [12:27] Commentator     Here's the leader going full throttle     down the home straight! [12:31] Beckenbauer     You're dull, MFG. [12:34] Beckenbauer     No one here is worth my full attention. [12:37] Beckenbauer     There's no one who can     force me to get serious. [12:40] Beckenbauer     I'll finish first at the     rest of the year's races, [12:43] Beckenbauer     give them some pithy sound bite,     then head home to Deustchland. [12:50] Commentator     And there's the checkered flag! [12:52] Commentator     Michael Beckenbauer comes out on top! [12:55] Commentator     He has dominated this 80 kilometer sprint     race as if it were second nature to him. [13:01] Commentator     Finishing with a sizable lead     over the next car, [13:05] Commentator     this performance feels more     like the dawn of a new era! [13:10] Commentator     Next in is Ishigami in the 1 car. [13:15] Commentator     Akaba. Sakamoto. [13:19] Commentator     Otani. Aiba. [13:22] Commentator     We now switch to the camera     showing Kazamatsuri East. [13:26] Commentator     Oishi in the 3 car is     ahead of Yanagida in the 6! [13:34] Commentator     And behind them,     there's movement in the race for ninth! [13:38] Commentator     The 8 car is nipping at the 86's heels! [13:42] Commentator     The Porsche Carrera GTS has a profound     advantage with its top speed. [13:56] Commentator     He's not even entertaining     the thought of a slipstream. [13:59] Commentator     Taylor pulls up on the right as if to     demonstrate the difference in raw power! [14:12] Taylor     He clipped me? [14:14] Taylor     Is he trying to get as close as possible     to get the maximum tow he can? [14:19] Taylor     In my whole career, I've never had     a French kiss from a car looking for a tow. [14:26] Commentator     The lower air resistance is     pulling the 86 toward the 8. [14:33] Commentator     But it only lasts for a moment,     as the 8 continues to pick up speed, [14:38] Commentator     disregarding the wall of air in front! [14:43] Commentator     After the overpass,     they near the braking point. [14:47] Commentator     The 8 has a sizable lead,     and starts braking first. [14:55] Commentator     Whoa! The 86 brakes late     and instantly closes the gap! [15:01] Customer D     Wait, isn't this... [15:03] Customer E     A repeat of Aiba Shun. [15:06] Commentator     The 19-year-old is showing     unrestrained aggression here. [15:12] Commentator     Looks like there's more to     Katagiri Kanata than smart driving. [15:15] Commentator     He's picking a fight with Porsche, who are     said to be makers of the world's finest brakes! [15:37] Commentator     Can he make it? [15:39] Commentator     Will he make it? [15:45] Commentator     He made it! [15:58] Taylor     It's not that the Porsche has worse brakes.     I made a tactical mistake. [16:03] Taylor     I overextended my tires     on that final spurt. [16:07] Taylor     But even so... [16:10] Taylor     he had enough grip left for     one last battle on the brakes. [16:14] Taylor     What's gonna happen if a monster like him     gets a car that can actually compete? [16:24] Taylor     It could fundamentally change     the balance of power in MFG. [16:48] Interviewer     And here are today's big stars!      Congratulations! [17:02] Ogata     The prize money for     coming ninth is eight million yen. [17:05] Ogata     Even half that is four million yen! [17:08] Ogata     That's more than Ogata     Automotive makes in a year. [17:12] Ogata     And in just one day. [17:15] Kanata     Aiba-senpai, why isn't the driver     who finished first on the podium? [17:20] Aiba     Beckenbauer always ditches     the podium ceremony. [17:24] Aiba     It's probably his way of     showing he doesn't care. [17:27] Aiba     That little punk pisses me off. [17:29] Kanata     Really? [17:37] Aiba     Old man Ishigami always asks for Kyoko. [17:40] Aiba     Akaba Kaito tends to mix it up, but today,     he went with the Butt Bongo chick. [17:44] Aiba     If nothing else, I'm glad     no one asked for Number Seven. [17:50] Aiba     Luckily for me, none of     these guys have any taste. [17:53] Aiba     How can they not see     how dang adorable she is? [17:57] Seven     We actually have to kiss them? [17:59] Seven     That's part of the job? I don't like that. [18:02] Seven     I only wanna kiss Kanata. [18:06] Taylor     Sorry. Could you make way for a sec? [18:13] Taylor     I'm the driver of the 8 car, Jackson Taylor. [18:16] Kanata     Katagiri Kanata. [18:20] Taylor     You're a great driver.     I didn't think you'd be so young. [18:26] Taylor     You got me today.     But I'll pay you back next time. [18:34] Nozomi     What's up with Taylor?     Trying to act all cool. [18:37] Nozomi     Guess I'd better go say hi, too. [18:40] Nozomi     I'm the driver of the 16, Kitahara Nozomi. [18:43] Nozomi     You remember me, right? We met at     that family restaurant this morning. [18:47] Kanata     Of course. I remember. [18:49] Nozomi     You really kicked my butt this time.      You even passed me twice. [18:54] Nozomi     Normally, I'd be pissed off,     but with you, I can admit when I'm beat. [19:00] Nozomi     How about a hug as a sign of mutual respect? [19:03] Kanata     Uh, I'm not really much of a hugger. [19:07] Nozomi     Now I'm getting a better look     at him, he's seriously cute. [19:10] Nozomi     Don't be so embarrassed!     Aren't you half European? [19:14] Nozomi     He smells so good. [19:17] Seven     Who the hell is she? [19:19] Seven     Get off him! Get away from Kanata! [19:21] Seven     He's clearly uncomfortable! [19:27] Commentator     That completes the first race of the     MFG season, Odawara Pikes Peak. [19:31] Sign     MFG Round 1     Odawara Pikes Peak     1st: M.

[19:54] Kogashiwa     I'd say so. [19:55] Kogashiwa     Let's not forget Sawatari Koki in the 4,     who didn't compete in this race.

[21:07] Aiba     Hey, you two. [21:09] Aiba     My crew and I are heading to the organ meat     place to party. You two should come. [21:15] Aiba     It's my thing to take the day's frustrations      and bury 'em with food, booze, and noise! [21:21] Aiba     And it's my treat. So let's go live it up. [21:23] Ogata     Sweet! I'm definitely coming! [21:24] Kanata     Wow! Offal! [21:27] Ogata     Sorry, Kanata. I wanna drink,     so could you drive? [21:32] Kanata     You're welcome to.     I don't like liquor much, anyway. [23:31] Narrator     Next time, Turn 10: Updates.

[00:45] Kanata     My father's homeland. [00:49] Kanata     May in Japan is so warm,     I feel like I'm on summer vacation, Mum. [00:55] Kanata     It'd still be cold in England. [01:04] Mayuko     Time to wake up, Ren. [01:10] Ren     Aw, man. Supplementary lessons. [01:25] Ren     Sorry! [01:27] Kanata     It's no problem. Go ahead     and use the bathroom. Please. [01:31] Ren     Put some clothes on, Kanata! [01:35] Kanata     But I'm wearing a towel. [01:42] Mayuko     Sounds lively up on the second floor.

[03:29] Ren     That's right. I've got supplementary lessons. [03:31] Kanata     Supplementary lessons? [03:34] Ren     They're classes you have to take     in addition to your regular ones. [03:38] Kanata     I see. The kind you're made to     take if you get poor test scores. [03:43] Kanata     They have those in England, too. [03:46] Ren     Don't get the wrong idea! [03:48] Ren     I'm just absent a lot due to my job.     My grades are actually at the top of my class! [04:01] Ren     That was pretty amazing yesterday, Kanata. [04:07] Kanata     So you found out I took part in MFG? [04:11] Ren     Well, yeah. And after that performance, [04:14] Ren     there are 30 million people around     the world who know about you now. [04:18] Kanata     I'm sorry, Ren.     I didn't mean to keep it a secret. [04:22] Ren     I guess it's fine.     Mom and Dad knew about it, right? [04:34] Ren     It's been a while since     you came to the house. [04:37] Ren     I just don't like being the     only one left out, that's all. [04:42] Kanata     I've been avoiding talking about it because     your mother doesn't approve of me racing. [04:51] Kanata     But I still should have told you.      Please forgive me, Ren. [04:58] Ren     That's not fair. [05:01] Ren     Anyone would forgive you     if you looked at them like that. [05:10] Ren     All right. I should tell him     my secret. I bet I can do it now. [05:15] Ren     I should tell him I'm an MFG Angel. [05:19] Ren     If I don't do it now,     it's only gonna get harder. [05:24] Ren     H-Hey... [05:27] Ren     The truth is, Kanata... [05:29] Ogata     Kanata? [05:30] Ogata     Hey, it is Kanata! [05:33] Ogata     What a coincidence! [05:35] Kanata     Oh, Ogata-san! [05:38] Ogata     Perfect timing! Can you come by     the auto shop at one this afternoon? [05:43] Kanata     Sure. I don't have any plans today. [05:46] Ogata     You remember that engineer Shun     mentioned at the restaurant yesterday? [05:51] (Flashback) Aiba     The flatter the course,     the more you need power. [05:54] (Flashback) Aiba     And since this guy looked at my GTR,      it's really been hauling ass. [05:59] Ogata     He's actually dropping by! [06:02] Ogata     So the three of us should have     a chat about updates for the 86. [06:06] Kanata     Bravo. That's amazing! [06:08] Ogata     Isn't it? [06:09] Ren     Talk about rotten timing. [06:13] Ogata     By the way... [06:14] Ogata     What's your relationship     with this lovely young lady? [06:18] Ren     Oh, come on, Ogata-san.     Don't be so silly. It's me, Ren. Saionji Ren. [06:25] Ogata     Whoa, whoa, whoa. [06:27] Ogata     Are you kidding me?     Ren-chan? I had no idea! [06:32] Ogata     Wow, you've gotten so much bigger.      How old are you now? [06:37] Ren     I'm 17. [06:38] Ogata     Gosh, 17 years old.     And we're almost the same height. [06:42] Ogata     You're a whole different person     from when I last saw you. [06:46] Ren     Something about this     huge reaction is ticking me off. [06:49] Ogata     Wait, did you get plastic surgery? [06:51] Ren     How would that even work, stupid?! [06:54] Kanata     That looked painful. A body blow     by Ren seems awfully tough to take. [07:01] Ogata     Well, see you. Remember, one o'clock, Kanata. [07:07] Kanata     This is so exciting. [07:09] Kanata     The 86 is going to get updates. [07:12] Ren     There goes my chance to tell him. [07:14] Ren     Stupid, stupid Ogatacchi! [07:17] Kakeru     You'd better not have fallen for that guy. [07:21] Nozomi     And what if I have? [07:22] Kakeru     As your brother, I don't approve     of you marrying a pretty boy. [07:26] Nozomi     Jumping the gun a bit, aren't you? Idiot. [07:31] Nozomi     Bro, did you hear they're allowing      7,000 entrants starting next year? [07:35] Kakeru     Huh? Of course I did. Do you think I'm stupid? [07:39] Nozomi     Then, did you know     there'll be 20 qualifying spots? [07:43] Kakeru     Uh, no, I didn't know that. [07:45] Nozomi     They're raising the prizes, too.     The winner will get 150 million. [07:49] Kakeru     Seriously? [07:51] Nozomi     MFG just keeps growing and growing. [07:55] Nozomi     And since Kanata's bound to be raking it in, [07:58] Nozomi     I figure if the two of us get married,     we could become the Yashi-Kata Triad. [08:04] Nozomi     You do love your money, bro. [08:08] Sign     Employment [08:08] Sign     History Sheet [08:08] Kakeru     You might have a point. [08:17] Sign     Ogata Automotive Ltd. [08:28] Sign     Chocorooms [08:28] Sign     Chocorooms [08:28] Ogata     Huh? So you don't want to touch the engine? [08:31] Okuyama     Right. We'll take a look at the intake and     exhaust, but we won't touch the engine itself. [08:36] Ogata     I figured our big priority     would be to give it a boost... [08:40] Okuyama     Becoming more competitive isn't as     simple as just increasing the car's power. [08:44] Okuyama     Mucking with the car's balance could cause     real issues for Katagiri-kun's driving style. [08:51] Okuyama     I suggest stage one is looking at the     underbody with a focus on the brakes. [09:01] Okuyama     Underbody first,     then we think about the engine. [09:04] Ogata     What do you think, Kanata?     Give us your opinion as the driver. [09:13] Kanata     I agree with Mister Okuyama. [09:16] Kanata     My most trusted instructor at the academy     once gave me this piece of advice: [09:22] Kanata     "It's a bad idea to choose     a car based on its power." [09:25] Kanata     He said to always choose the car that's     underpowered compared to its rivals. [09:29] Ogata     How does that work?     This is a race! What did he mean? [09:34] Kanata     He never really spelled it out. [09:37] Kanata     His advice tended to be vague, geared     toward encouraging us to think for ourselves. [09:44] Kanata     But every time, he ended up being proved right. [09:47] Ogata     But y'know, Kanata, even if we improve     your horsepower with a supercharger, [09:52] Ogata     you'll still be way down      compared to the others. [09:56] Ogata     I'm not sure that'd be going     against your instructor's advice. [10:00] Kanata     Ogata-san, I'm doing this for the challenge,     not necessarily to place highly. [10:06] Kanata     We won't touch the engine      before the second race. [10:09] Kanata     I think if my teacher were here,      he would probably tell me... [10:13] Kanata     I still haven't drawn out     all of the 86's potential. [10:20] Okuyama     That does sound like something     the stoic Fujiwara Takumi would say. [10:25] Kanata     Mister Okuyama, you know Fujiwara-sensei? [10:28] Okuyama     I sure do. [10:31] Okuyama     If you're of our generation and you raced in     Kanto, you're guaranteed to have heard of him. [10:38] Aiba     You're not touching the engine? Seriously? [10:42] Aiba     I figured Kanata needed power     more than anything else right now. [10:47] Aiba     This next course is a lot flatter      compared to the opener. [10:51] Aiba     That means he won't have     any downhill stretches to save him. [10:57] Aiba     If anything, it's gonna be      even harder for him. [11:03] Aiba     Dude, your split was four million     and this is the best you can do? [11:07] Aiba     I feel bad for him. [11:09] Ogata     Don't chew me out like that, Shun. [11:12] Ogata     It's what Kanata wants. [11:14] Ogata     And we're just following the advice     of Okuyama-san from Spiral. [11:17] Aiba     What? [11:19] Aiba     Well, hell. That guy knows better     than most how to tune up a car. [11:24] Aiba     And he's got a rep for doing     a good job with the underbody. [11:28] Aiba     If it's Okuyama-san's call,     I guess it's fine. [11:31] Unmmarked HS Girl BG     Oh, right, right. The place     that was kinda Italian... [11:34] Ogata     By the way, I saw Kanata walking     around with a cute high schooler. [11:39] Aiba     For real? [11:40] Aiba     He's fast in more ways than one, I guess.

[11:45] Ogata     It's not like that. She's the kid      of the family he's staying with. [11:50] Aiba     Is she cute? [11:51] Ogata     I almost did a double take. Great figure, too. [11:57] Aiba     Well, that's fine. [11:59] Aiba     However cute she is,     if she's still in school, she's just a kid. [12:02] Aiba     And if her and Kanata hit it off,     that's one less potential love rival for me. [12:07] Ogata     I knew that's what you were worried about. [12:10] Ogata     Do they even have those kinds of     man-to-man promises in England? [12:15] Aiba     Probably? They say it's     a country full of gentlemen. [12:22] Ren     Oh, off to look for that spot?     Sorry, let me get ready. [12:25] Kanata     No, I have business today. [12:28] Kanata     You go ahead and relax, Ren.

I'm not even a little jealous. [14:42] Wakana     What is it? [14:43] Ren     Uh, I-I'm just a little thirsty. [14:46] Ren     Maybe because we've been walking      so much. Let's take a break. [14:46] Sign     Kamakura Komachi-dori Street [14:53] Ren     I came here with Kanata before. [14:57] Kanata     Welcome. [15:01] Ren     Kanata! What the heck are you doing here? [15:04] Kanata     As you can see, I'm working here part-time. [15:07] Kanata     But I'm on the clock, so let's keep     the chitchat to a minimum, Ren. [15:12] Kanata     Are you ready to order, Miss Saionji? [15:18] Kanata     Here you are. [15:21] Kanata     Please enjoy. [15:29] Wakana     Oh, crap. This is really bad. [15:31] Wakana     Out of all the hot guys I've ever met,     he's number one with a bullet! [15:35] Ren     Oh, she's gone. Totally on another planet. [15:40] Ren     Hey! Earth to Wakana! [15:51] Ren     Kanata, you don't really need a job, do you?      You've got your MFG prize money. [15:57] Ren     The prize money for ninth was what an office     worker at a decent company makes in a year. [16:02] Kanata     I gave half the prize money to     Ogata-san since he owns the car. [16:06] Ren     Really? [16:07] Kanata     Having nothing to do     would be more difficult for me. [16:10] Kanata     Besides, I don't see racing     as a way of making money. [16:15] Kanata     Ideally, I'll keep my feet on the ground,     and work a day job during the week. [16:21] Kanata     I don't need a lot of money.     Just enough for a normal life is fine. [16:26] Ren     You're an odd one, Kanata.     You've got this special talent, but you... [16:31] Kanata     Nah, not really. [16:33] Kanata     Regular happiness is the best. [16:36] Kanata     My mother taught me     that from a very young age. [16:41] Kanata     Did that make me sound like a mama's boy? [16:43] Ren     Maybe it did. [16:45] Ren     But it's fine. Someone once said     all boys are mama's boys. [16:50] Kanata     Please don't hit me for no reason. That hurts. [16:55] Kanata     Oh, that reminds me. [16:57] Kanata     Ogata-san was surprised.     He said you've grown up cute. [17:04] Ren     I don't care what Ogatacchi thinks. [17:07] Ren     But what does Kanata think? [17:09] Ren     Does he think I'm a really cute girl? [17:13] Ren     But it's not like I can just     ask him that. I'm too scared. [17:19] Kanata     You always see kites flying     over the beaches in Shonan. [17:31] Okuyama     MFG's a road race. Suspension tailored     to driving on circuits isn't gonna cut it. [17:36] Okuyama     You'll want a flexible stroke that can hold     the road even when the tires are cooked. [17:43] Okuyama     That's what we're aiming for. [17:44] Ogata     What about the brakes? I guess the goal     is to have super-effective braking, yeah? [17:49] Okuyama     That's part of it, but did you notice     the front rotors are a little warped? [17:55] Ogata     Huh? They weren't before. [17:57] Okuyama     I think it happened over the course of     the race. The heat must've gotten to them. [18:01] Okuyama     The cooling couldn't keep up with     Katagiri-kun's remarkable way of driving. [18:06] Okuyama     So I want to put in calipers     with better heat resistance. [18:09] Okuyama     On the front, 6-pot calipers, which will     greatly improve braking and durability. [18:14] Okuyama     It'll cut down on tire wear     caused by heavy braking. [18:18] Okuyama     Should make for a powerful asset in      the final stages of Katagiri-kun's races. [18:24] Okuyama     You seemed a little disappointed when     we talked about leaving the engine for now, [18:29] Okuyama     but that's 'cause you don't     see the true nature of MFG. [18:32] Okuyama     You need to realize a suspension     change alone can make a car faster. [18:37] Okuyama     Our shop once took on a challenge to     see how much we could improve times [18:42] Okuyama     by working on everything      except the engine. [18:47] Okuyama     This is something I don't compromise on. [18:49] Okuyama     I get the feeling this car's gonna be faster      than you think when it's ready. [19:07] Ren     What do you think? [19:08] Kanata     It's lovely here. [19:10] Ren     Right? This place is famous      for its ajisai flowers. [19:13] Ren     They're going to bloom beautifully soon. [19:16] Ren     Hm, what's "ajisai" in English again? [19:20] Kanata     Hydrangeas. [19:23] Ren     Nice pronunciation. [19:25] Kanata     I'd love to come back here     once they're in bloom. [19:29] Kanata     Ren, I have a request. [19:31] Ren     What is it? I'll do whatever I can. [19:37] Kanata     Well, I'm having trouble     finding the words to explain. [19:41] Kanata     My main goal is still to find     the location in the photo, [19:47] Kanata     but I'd like to visit other     unrelated locations, too. [19:52] Kanata     I want to see all kinds of other spots.     I want to get to know Kamakura better. [19:57] Ren     Oh, I see! I get what you're trying to say. [20:01] Ren     You want to get a better     picture of it, right? [20:05] Ren     I guess you must really like Kamakura, huh? [20:09] Ren     You even got a job there. [20:12] Ren     Okay, leave it to me. I'll show you     every single corner of Kamakura. [20:18] Ren     But it's a long-term project,     so you'd better be ready. [20:21] Kanata     Thank you, Ren. [20:25] Ogata     You're swapping out the muffler? [20:27] Okuyama     You know how I said we'd go over      the intake and exhaust? [20:30] Okuyama     Well, just changing the filter won't help much.      The intake and exhaust come as a set. [20:35] Okuyama     I'm installing a throttle controller, too,     which will make it a lot more responsive. [20:40] Okuyama     For drivers like Katagiri-kun, who push stuff     to the limit and have precise pedal work, [20:46] Okuyama     it should be a huge asset. [20:49] Okuyama     Looked at another way, [20:51] Okuyama     the fact he put on that amazing display in the 86     in the opening race without all of these tools [20:57] Okuyama     frankly has me astounded. [21:00] Okuyama     They called Fujiwara Takumi a genius.     But this young man he taught... [21:05] Okuyama     I'm pretty sure he's a driving genius     who's on a whole other level. [21:20] Ogata     I don't wanna die! Help! [23:31] Narration     Next time, Turn 11: The Genius Awakens.

[00:03] Okuayama     I get the feeling this car will be faster      than you think when it's ready. [00:12] Ogata     I don't wanna die! Help! [00:45] Sign     MF Ghost [01:53] Sign     m 0 0 l 100 0 100 100 0 100 [01:53] Sign     The Genius     Awakens [02:00] Kanata     Are you all right, Ogata-san? [02:04] Ogata     Well, I've got a really good idea      of how the Godly Fifteen drive now. [02:09] Ogata     You've got more than a couple of screws     loose, man. How come you never brake? [02:15] Ogata     Doesn't the car have those sweet     new brakes Okuyama-san installed? [02:19] Kanata     I try not to brake at all on a hill climb. [02:23] Kanata     The car loses speed naturally     from corner entry to the apex. [02:28] Kanata     And with an underpowered car like the 86,     it's the best approach in theory. [02:32] Kanata     But since you were with me today,     and it was just a shakedown, [02:36] Kanata     I was only giving it about 80%. [02:39] Ogata     That was only 80?! [02:42] Ogata     I'm gonna be traumatized for a while. [02:45] Ogata     And the contrast between Kanata's     relaxed profile behind the wheel [02:48] Ogata     and the intense lateral Gs was nuts. [02:52] Kanata     Ogata-san, is doing a lap of the     Ashinoko course really not allowed? [02:57] Kanata     It's literally a bone's throw away. [03:00] Ogata     I think you mean a "stone's" throw away. [03:03] Ogata     That area's mostly public roads     under pretty tight traffic control. [03:07] Ogata     No one's allowed to race on it      until official qualifying begins. [03:12] Ogata     So this time, everything's     riding on qualifying. [03:15] Ogata     They say that gives the regulars     who've run it before a major advantage. [03:20] Ogata     The only part authorized for MFG test drives     is this section with the turnpike. [03:26] Ogata     And only for the seven days     running up to qualifying. [03:31] Kanata     I'm gonna go see how the car      functions under stress. [03:34] Kanata     Please wait here, Ogata-san. [03:38] Kanata     I'll pick you up after I've done two runs. [03:40] Ogata     If you would. I'm not cut out      to be your navigator. [03:58] Ogata     I almost passed out a few times. [04:09] Ogata     That blue Alpine just now     looked like it was going after our car. [04:15] Ogata     I've got a bad feeling about this. [04:33] Kanata     I think I may have been     rude to Mister Okuyama. [04:41] Kanata     I wasn't expecting the ride     to change this much. [04:44] Kanata     It's like a totally different car. [04:46] Kanata     I wonder why. He said     he didn't touch the engine, [04:50] Kanata     but it definitely feels more powerful. [04:57] Kanata     And so nimble. [04:59] Kanata     Its mechanical grip has improved markedly. [05:02] Kanata     And the shock absorbers     are practically singing. [05:05] Kanata     It should all come in very handy     the next time I'm in a dogfight. [05:18] Kanata     These brakes are especially good. [05:21] Kanata     They have a rigid touch to them,     almost like a true race car. [05:25] Kanata     This feel suits my tastes well. [05:27] Kanata     I feel like I'll really be     able to cut loose next time. [05:44] Kanata     That's some aggressive overtaking,     considering this isn't a race. [05:49] Kanata     No, wait. Just a moment. [05:51] Kanata     Fujiwara-sensei always warned me     that the most foolish thing you can do [05:56] Kanata     is get emotional behind the wheel. [05:59] Kanata     I was so excited over the 86's evolution, [06:01] Kanata     I got careless and forgot to     check my rear-view mirror. [06:06] Kanata     Car number 4.... [06:08] Kanata     Well, he lives up to his placing     from last year. He's quite fast. [06:16] Sawatari     I never expected to run into you here, [06:19] Sawatari     Kanata Rivington. [06:24] Sawatari     Over the three years I spent      in France studying motorsports, [06:29] Sawatari     we competed in the same     races time and again. [06:32] Sawatari     You might not remember me, [06:35] Sawatari     but with all the attention you got as the     stellar new rookie, you stood out to me. [06:44] Sawatari     Funding issues meant I drove hunks of junk     in the Euro FE3 series, so I had a bad time. [06:50] Sawatari     But at Lake Ashinoko, let's pick up where     we left off at Paul Ricard and Hockenheim. [06:55] Sawatari     I'm glad you're here, Kanata Rivington. [06:59] Sawatari     Welcome to MFG. [07:07] Kanata     Delicious. These are     fantastic Japanese sweets. [07:13] Kanata     Brits would be shocked at how cheap     and widely available this sort of stuff is. [07:18] Ogata     You really like to exaggerate. [07:23] Ogata     MFG has sent out a press release. [07:25] Ogata     Seems the running order for the     Ashinoko GT qualifying has been announced. [07:29] Kanata     When are we running? [07:31] Sign     Start Time [07:31] Sign     Car Number [07:31] Sign     Driver [07:31] Sign     Takehara Yuto [07:31] Sign     Hayami Takeru [07:31] Sign     Katagiri Kanata [07:31] Sign     Kikuchi Yuuki [07:31] Sign     Yajiri Susumu [07:31] Sign     Watase     Shinobu [07:32] Ogata     Here we go. I kinda figured,     but we're on the sixth day. [07:35] Kanata     Is the qualifying order     dictated by some sort of rule? [07:39] Ogata     In theory, your spot is decided      by your current ranking. [07:44] Ogata     To try and make it fair, they spread the     higher-ranked drivers across the seven days. [07:50] Ogata     The top-ranked driver     always runs on the last day. [07:54] Ogata     See? Beckenbauer's down to run on day seven. [07:56] Kanata     I actually can't read Japanese. [07:59] Ogata     Second-placed Ishigami     goes the day before on day six. [08:02] Ogata     And Akaba in the Ferrari runs on day five. [08:05] Ogata     Based on that logic and looping around,     your ninth place puts you on day six. [08:09] Ogata     That's not bad. They say there's      an advantage to running later. [08:13] Ogata     You get a ballpark of the times your rivals     are setting, so it's easier to set a target. [08:19] Ogata     For us, that means having an idea what kind     of pace to shoot for to get us into the race. [08:24] Kanata     I think you're right. [08:26] Kanata     And with Mister Okuyama's     wonderful tweaks to the car, [08:30] Kanata     I think I'll be able to perform at my best. [08:33] Ogata     I'm meant to take the 86 into Spiral one more      time before qualifying for a final check. [08:40] Ogata     Is there anything you want me      to ask them about? [08:42] Kanata     Nothing. She's perfect. [08:46] Ogata     I'm gonna order some more     sweets. You want anything? [08:50] Kanata     I'm good with this. [08:59] Ren     My next shifts are on     days three and four, huh? [09:05] Commentator     Hello from Odawara, Japan. [09:08] Commentator     Greetings to all 30 million     MFG fans around the world. [09:12] Commentator     The rainy season is approaching,     but the skies over Hakone are a dazzling blue. [09:18] Commentator     The calender has flipped to June and     it's day one of qualifying for the Ashinoko GT. [09:23] Commentator     The course for the second race of the season     encircles Lake Ashinoko and is 25.3 km long. [09:28] Commentator     Qualifying is over one lap,     while the race is three. [09:33] Commentator     And here comes the seventh-ranked     Oishi Daigo in his Lamborghini Huracán. [09:44] Oishi     Running on the first day     of qualifying is a real pain. [09:48] Oishi     I'll have to take extra risks     and go on the attack. [09:59] Oishi     Let's do this, Huracán. [10:01] Oishi     Let me hear that V10 roar! [10:11] Sign     MF Ghost [10:11] Sign     MF Ghost [10:11] Sign     MF Ghost [10:11] Kanata     MF Ghost. [10:11] Sign     MF Ghost [10:12] Sign     MF Ghost [10:16] Sign     MF Ghost [10:16] Sign     MF Ghost [10:16] Sign     MF Ghost [10:16] Sign     MF Ghost [10:17] Kanata     MF Ghost. [10:24] Commentator     What speed! Oishi Daigo is really eating up     the road in the 3, the Lamborghini Huracán! [10:32] Commentator     At Odawara Pikes Peak, he overtook a rival      at the East Kazamatsuri intersection, [10:36] Commentator     demonstrating the pride     of an Italian supercar driver. [10:44] Commentator     That has only raised expectations for     his performance at the Ashinoko GT. [11:02] Lady 1     See you next time, Katagiri-kun. [11:04] Lady 2     We'll be back soon. [11:05] Kanata     Thank you for coming. [11:08] Lady 3     He's so adorable. [11:10] Lady 1     A real sight for sore eyes. [11:13] Manager     Katagiri-kun, did you write up this order? [11:16] Kanata     Yes. I'm sorry, did I make a mistake? [11:20] Manager     No, no, it's perfect. But when     did you learn how to write Japanese? [11:25] Kanata     It was mostly by imitation. I just     copied what I saw someone else doing. [11:31] Customer     We're ready to order. [11:32] Kanata     I'll be with you now. [11:36] Manager     His memory is incredible. [11:39] Sign     Order [11:39] Sign     Table [11:39] Sign     People [11:39] Sign     Purchase [11:39] Sign     Item [11:39] Sign     Quantity [11:39] Sign     Price [11:39] Sign     Iced Coffee [11:39] Sign     Orange Juice [11:39] Sign     Iced Tea [11:39] Sign     Shortcake [11:39] Manager     And his handwriting's remarkably legible     for someone who's just come to Japan. [11:44] Manager     Plus, he's handsome and considerate. [11:47] Manager     Since I hired him, I feel like we've been     getting a lot more repeat business from women. [11:52] Manager     I really couldn't ask for anything more. [12:04] Commentator     Maezono Kazuhiro in     the 13 is cruising along. [12:09] Commentator     To comply with the rules, he's removed     the three electric motors and the KERS, [12:13] Commentator     resulting in a newly reborn, lighter,     mid-engined, rear-wheel drive Honda NSX! [12:24] Maezono     I've been waiting for this moment. [12:27] Maezono     After two years,     we've finally got to this point. [12:31] Commentator     Maezono competed with     this car last year as well, [12:34] Commentator     but issues with his computer resetting meant     his performance wasn't as good as he hoped. [12:40] Commentator     In MFG, you can switch up     the model of your car, [12:43] Commentator     but the manufacturer must be     the same as the first race of the season. [12:47] Commentator     Case in point,     Maezono began the year in a Civic. [12:52] Commentator     But now, he's in an NSX, [12:54] Commentator     a high-speed Japanese fighting machine that     stands shoulder to shoulder with the GT-R. [12:59] Commentator     Let's see what he can do with it! [13:04] Second     What's going on, Maezono?     You've been laughing this whole time. [13:07] Second     I can here it over the comms.     It's creepy, so cut it out. [13:12] Maezono     I'm trying to hold it in, [13:14] Maezono     but it's just too much to contain. [13:17] Second     You're going too fast and taking     too many risks! Ease up a little! [13:21] Maezono     Are you kidding me? [13:23] Maezono     This car is pushing me on. [13:25] Maezono     It's not satisfied and wants me to go harder. [13:28] Maezono     So just shut up and watch. [13:31] Maezono     Don't try to interrupt me and     the NSX in our moment of glory. [13:38] Commentator     And Maezono Kazuhiro in the 13, the NSX, [13:41] Commentator     beats Oishi Daigo's time in the Lamborghini     and sits top of the leaderboard for now. [13:47] Commentator     But this is still just the first day. [13:50] Commentator     The other warriors of the Godly Fifteen     await their chance to take to the course. [14:14] Kakeru     Attack more, Nozomi! [14:15] Kakeru     You're slacking! [14:16] Nozomi     Would you please shut up? [14:18] Kakeru     You get it, right? Running on the second day     means you need to be in third at a minimum! [14:24] Nozomi     Shut up, bro! You're distracting me! [14:31] Kakeru     You crap driver! [14:32] Kakeru     Stop wiggling your ass!     No one wants to see that! [14:35] Nozomi     Shut the hell up,     you snot-nosed pain in the ass! [14:38] Nozomi     Yamatani-kun, kick that idiot     out of the booth already! [14:41] Kakeru     Where do you get off, Nozomi? How can     you take that attitude with your brother? [14:43] Yamatani     It's like this every qualifying session. [14:45] Nozomi     Then act like my brother and     gimme advice that's worth a damn! [14:46] Yamatani     They bicker and talk trash, [14:48] Kakeru     Quit being a baby! [14:48] Yamatani     but Nozomi-chan somehow     still ends up with a great time. [14:49] Kakeru     What are you doing, stupid? [14:51] Nozomi     Oh my god! Just shut up! [14:55] Sawatari     Bonjour, Aiba-senpai. [14:58] Sawatari     Fancy running into you here. [15:00] Aiba     "Bonjour" my ass. [15:02] Aiba     How come you weren't at the opening race? [15:05] Sawatari     Well, it happened to fall on     my girlfriend's birthday, so I was in Shibuya. [15:10] Sawatari     My hands were tied! [15:12] Aiba     Let me introduce you. This is Akimoto.     He came on as my mechanic this year. [15:16] Akimoto     Hey there. [15:17] Sawatari     It's a pleasure. [15:18] Aiba     This guy's a riot. [15:20] Aiba     He only goes out with 17 year olds.     He's an irredeemable lolicon. [15:25] Sawatari     That isn't quite accurate, Senpai. [15:28] Sawatari     I don't have a Lolita complex. [15:31] Sawatari     If I had to give it a name,     I'd call it a "Seventeen Complex." [15:34] Aiba     The hell is that? [15:36] Sawatari     Grade school was the first time I fell in love.      She was the older sister of a friend. [15:42] Sawatari     The blazer she wore with her uniform      made her seem so mature. [15:45] Sawatari     And I think she was 17. [15:47] Aiba     You "think"? That's vague as hell. [15:50] Sawatari     I've just never been     interested in girls my own age. [15:53] Sawatari     I got my first girlfriend in my second year     of middle school. She was 17. A high schooler. [15:58] Sawatari     Somewhat understandably,     she dumped me after a week. [16:01] Sawatari     Ever since, only girls who are     17 seem like women to me. [16:06] Sawatari     Even when I was in France,     I dated four girls, and they were all 17. [16:11] Sawatari     Impressive, huh? [16:12] Aiba     You're an absolute freak, dude. [16:15] Akimoto     One question. When the girl you're     seeing now turns 18, what happens? [16:21] Sawatari     I'll dump her. [16:23] Aiba     You're hilarious. [16:25] Akimoto     His attitude is in stark     contrast with his appearance. [16:28] Aiba     Wouldn't catch me doing that.     I mean, 17 year old schoolgirls? [16:32] Aiba     If I'm gonna get with a woman,     she needs to be sexy and mature. [16:36] Sawatari     You clearly underestimate the     potential of 17 year olds, Senpai. [16:41] Sawatari     They're untouchable. [16:43] Sawatari     Well, I need to be on     standby soon, so I should go. [16:46] Aiba     Right. Don't let Maezono outdo you. [16:55] Akimoto     He's a weird guy, that Sawatari Koki. [16:58] Aiba     Yeah. He might be a perv,     but his driving skills are ludicrous. [17:03] Aiba     He's especially dangerous on     a technical course like Lake Ashinoko. [17:08] Aiba     In terms of latent potential, he might be the      only guy that can compare to Beckenbauer. [17:13] Akimoto     He's that good? [17:15] Aiba     And despite that,     he's got a real lack of ambition. [17:19] Aiba     His biggest weakness is     he hasn't got the hunger. [17:23] Aiba     To him, participating in MFG is a way to earn     spending money. He doesn't take it seriously. [17:28] Aiba     But if anything were to get him      serious, he'd be pretty scary. [17:33] Aiba     And with Kanata making his mark, it feels like     more and more young guns are popping up. [17:39] Aiba     But I'm still only 25. I don't wanna     be grouped in with the oldies. [17:43] Aiba     And this time, no matter what,     I'm getting that kiss from Number Seven. [17:54] Sawatari     Since I sat out the first race, and since     I need to keep my darling Sana in luxury, [17:59] Sawatari     I'd better put in some real effort. [18:08] Commentator     And so, Sawatari Koki in the 4 takes off. [18:11] Commentator     This is a driver with mysterious potential,     making him a real treat to watch. [18:20] Commentator     He's past the heliport and     negotiating Goat corner. [18:24] Commentator     All looking smooth so far. [18:29] Ogata     A 3D wheel alignment tester? [18:32] Ogata     Well, damn. You've got stuff like this, too? [18:35] Ogata     I could never dream of affording     one for my neighborhood shop. [18:39] Okuyama     Alignment is your lifeline if you want     to get 100% out of your suspension. [18:45] Okuyama     And given the quality of the driver,     I intend to put my all into this one. [18:51] Ogata     Kanata seemed more excited than usual, too. [18:53] Ogata     He kept saying everything was perfect. [18:56] Okuyama     Well, I'm honored. [18:58] Okuyama     Never thought I'd be doing work     to support Fujiwara Takumi's student. [19:03] Okuyama     Makes me glad to be in this line of work. [19:07] Commentator     What speed! [19:10] Commentator     He enters Sector 2     with the fastest time so far! [19:15] Commentator     An incredible display of speed     saw him tear through Sector 1! [19:18] Commentator     And that was a new     record for that stretch! [19:38] Man A     What's gotten into Sawatari today? [19:41] Man C     It was weird enough that     he ditched the opener... [19:44] Man B     I don't know if he's ever looked      this sharp in qualifying before. [19:48] Commentator     He transitions from Sector 2 to Sector 3. [19:50] Commentator     He's still on track to     set a new course record! [19:57] Man A     They always said he had the greatest      latent potential of all the MFG drivers. [20:02] Man B     Yeah, his motivation's     always been his biggest issue. [20:06] Man A     Has the slumbering genius awakened? [20:09] Man A     What the heck happened with Sawatari Koki? [20:12] Commentator     Are we about to see an     unprecedented super lap time? [20:16] Commentator     If we do, it'll be a huge deal! [20:20] Aiba     See what I mean? When he gets serious,     he can pull off stuff like this. [20:25] Aiba     He's gonna break the course record. [20:28] Commentator     This is the only straight on a course     that's otherwise devoid of them. [20:34] Commentator     He's tearing down the     Relay Straight at full throttle. [20:37] Commentator     With the finish line in sight, he reaches     the last uphill section of the course. [20:46] Commentator     A turbo engine is pushing that lightweight     chassis up the slope with real force! [20:51] Commentator     What kind of time are we about to see? [21:02] Joyu     Good grief. There seems to be     no end to the surprises this year. [21:07] Joyu     As the organizer, I'm glad. [21:09] Joyu     The more attractions there are,     the bigger the show MFG can put on. [21:16] Sawatari     Hey, Sana? It's me. I did it. [21:20] Sawatari     I set a new course record. [21:23] Sawatari     Yeah, I'm still in Hakone. [21:26] Sawatari     I'll be back soon,     so why don't we go out in Shibuya? [21:29] Sawatari     I love you, honey.

[00:22] Aiba     How the hell am I supposed to do that? [00:24] Aiba     After seeing the kind of     lap time Sawatari posted... [00:37] Aiba     I'm so pumped with adrenaline,     it's hard to rein it in! [00:46] Second     Seriously, ease up, Shun!     You're making a bunch of errors! [00:51] Commentator     In the 9, Aiba's overexuberance causes lots of     minor errors as he swings his car about wildly, [00:56] Commentator     and he sits fifth currently. [00:58] Commentator     Sawatari's performance on the second day [01:01] Commentator     keeps him in provisional pole for now. [01:03] Sign     Ogata Automotive Ltd. [01:04] Commentator     After he set a new     record time for the course, [01:07] Commentator     even the other higher-ranking racers     must be feeling the pressure.

I'm so lucky     we're working the same shift! [02:59] Kyoko     What shifts you got, Ren-chan? [03:01] Seven     I'm doing today and tomorrow. [03:03] Kyoko     Mine's the first day,     today, and the final day. [03:06] Seven     That's a lot. Thanks for your hard work. [03:10] Sign     Ashinoko Skyline [03:10] Kyoko     So how's it going with that     one-sided crush of yours? [03:14] Seven     Oh, uh... I don't know if you'd call them dates      as such, but we've gone out a few times. [03:19] Kyoko     I see. [03:21] Kyoko     So he's probably someone     you're pretty close to. [03:25] Kyoko     What's he do, anyway? [03:26] Seven     I'm kinda not ready to say yet. [03:30] Seven     Sorry. But I promise I'll keep     you updated, Kyoko-senpai. [03:36] Kyoko     Sounds complicated. [03:38] Kyoko     Well, I'll be waiting. [03:40] Kyoko     Must be nice to be young. [03:42] Staff     Kyoko-san. Number Seven.     Please be on standby. [03:45] Both     Right! [03:45] Sign     Ashinoko Skyline [03:49] Kanata     Mama Mayuko. [03:50] Kanata     Could you help me with something? [03:52] Kanata     My employer at my part-time job     asked me to fill out some paperwork, [03:57] Kanata     but I'm not sure what to do for it. [03:59] Mayuko     Sure. Let me take a look. [04:06] Mayuko     First, you'll want to write     your name and address here. [04:09] Mayuko     You probably can't write kanji,      so just use the English alphabet. [04:13] Kanata     It's okay. I've already learned      my name and address. [04:23] Mayuko     No way. Westerners usually     have a lot of trouble with kanji. [04:28] Sign     Katagiri Kana [04:30] Mayuko     Kana-chan, are you... like Katherine? [04:35] Mayuko     Can you recall everything you see? [04:39] Kanata     That was a mistake. [04:41] Kanata     No, this isn't anything special.     I just practiced a lot, so... [04:47] Mayuko     You don't have to hide it from me. [04:51] Mayuko     Your mother and I were classmates     for four years at art school. [04:56] Mayuko     We were best friends and told      each other lots of private things. [05:00] Mayuko     I know pretty much everything about her. [05:04] Kanata     Mama Mayuko... [05:08] Kanata     My mum always used to say to me... [05:12] Kanata     that I shouldn't show what I could do      around people who didn't know me. [05:19] Kanata     It was totally normal to us,     but apparently quite unusual to others, [05:24] Kanata     and that can sometimes     cause issues in relationships. [05:29] Mayuko     That's fair. If someone's unfamiliar with it,     I can see how they might react negatively. [05:35] Mayuko     But it's not an issue for me. [05:38] Mayuko     If anything, it just drives home     that you really are your mother's son. [05:45] Mayuko     The thing about your mother is, even in     a school filled with so many talented artists, [05:50] Mayuko     she still managed to stand out. [05:54] Mayuko     She had a natural brilliance as an artist. [05:58] Mayuko     But I didn't expect you to inherit it. [06:11] Otani     Seeing that kind of time     set on the second day [06:14] Otani     has kinda screwed with the     heads of everyone running later. [06:18] Otani     Well, I'm not gonna let     these younger guys beat me. [06:21] Otani     I won't be messed with! [06:26] Commentator     And next up is the 16, the Lotus Exige. [06:30] Commentator     It's the turn of Yashio Kakeru,     the older brother in the Yashi-Kita Gang. [06:35] Commentator     Yesterday, we saw the 18, the Alfa Romeo 4C     driven by his sister, Kitahara Nozomi... [06:41] Commentator     ...post a good time that put her near the top. [06:43] Commentator     Can the older sibling pull off     a similar feat? We watch with interest. [06:48] Aiba     Number Seven's tuchus is the only thing     that can heal my broken heart now. [06:54] Aiba     It's a damn work of art. [06:57] Aiba     The cameraman today just doesn't get it. [07:00] Aiba     A zoom won't do. Get right in there! [07:03] Aiba     You need to get closer to     capture the real feel of it. [07:08] Mayuko     The first time I saw Katherine sketching,     I was honestly pretty shocked. [07:13] Mayuko     Most people usually look back and forth     between their subject and the canvas. [07:21] Mayuko     But that wasn't how Katherine did it.     She stared at the subject for a while... [07:27] Mayuko     then once her gaze switched to     her sketchbook, her eyes never left it. [07:32] Mayuko     She produced an incredible sketch      at a remarkable speed. [07:37] Mayuko     When I asked her how she did it, [07:39] Mayuko     she said she could accurately recall      everything she saw in her mind. [07:44] Mayuko     She said it had always been like that,      so it just seemed natural to her. [07:50] Mayuko     So I can see how people would be surprised. [07:53] Mayuko     Do you ever draw, Kana-chan? [07:57] Kanata     My mum never really     encouraged me down that path. [08:05] Kanata     I was the outdoorsy type,     playing soccer and racing karts, [08:09] Kanata     and she always seemed happy      whenever I was playing a sport. [08:14] Kanata     It's probably because she struggled      with her own health a lot. [08:19] Kanata     I think she was really     concerned about mine. [08:23] Mayuko     I'm sure she was. [08:25] Mayuko     Well, if you ever feel like it, you're welcome     to come to the drawing class I teach. [08:31] Mayuko     I get the feeling you could     produce something remarkable. [08:35] Mayuko     Something tells me the senses you inherited      from Katherine weren't only meant for racing. [08:41] Sign     Katagiri Kanata [08:42] Kanata     Yes, Mama Mayuko. [08:45] Kanata     I'd love to learn how to draw one day. [08:51] Kanata     I might be embarrassingly bad at it at first, [08:54] Kanata     but one day, I'd like to draw     the landscapes of Kamakura. [09:07] Kakeru     If nothing else, I gotta beat Nozomi's time. [09:10] Kakeru     Can't maintain my brotherly pride otherwise. [09:16] Nozomi     Huh? [09:17] Nozomi     He's not doing great, is he? [09:20] Nozomi     All his checkpoint times     are slower than mine. [09:23] Yamatani     You're right. But I'd say     it's less Kakeru being slow [09:27] Yamatani     and more you being on fire      yesterday, Nozomi-chan. [09:30] Nozomi     Why not chew him out over comms? [09:32] Yamatani     That's not a good idea. [09:34] Yamatani     Unlike you, provoking him while     he's driving just seems to distract him. [09:39] Nozomi     Just let me say one thing to him, then. [09:42] Nozomi     Hand me the headset, Yamatani-kun. [09:44] Yamatani     Hey, wait, Nozomi-chan... [09:44] Nozomi     This is the booth. [09:46] Nozomi     At your current pace, bro,     you're two seconds behind me! [09:50] Nozomi     Over! [09:51] Kakeru     Say what? [09:52] Kakeru     That little... [09:53] Yamatani     Ah, she's done it now. [10:00] Commentator     And the Yashi-Kita Gang's eagerly awaited     head-to-head ends in victory to the sister! [10:09] Narration     The next day, early rain grows     more persistent through the day, [10:12] Sign     Ashinoko Skyline [10:12] Narration     and the time trials are     immediately canceled. [10:18] Narration     Qualifying for MFG takes     place over an entire week, [10:21] Narration     so there are frequently delays     caused by changes in the weather. [10:26] Narration     This is allowed due to its nature as an internet     broadcast with no trackside spectators. [10:38] Kanata     Hello, Ren. [10:40] Ren     Kanata? [10:41] Ren     What are you doing? [10:42] Kanata     I'm on my way home from work. [10:44] Ren     That's not what I meant.     Why don't you have an umbrella? [10:48] Kanata     No one uses umbrellas in England. [10:51] Ren     That's great and all, but this is Japan. [10:54] Ren     If you go out without an umbrella,      people are gonna think you're a weirdo. [10:58] Kanata     I don't mind. [11:00] Kanata     I like the rain. [11:02] Ren     W-Well, too bad. What if you get sick? [11:06] Kanata     Thank you, Ren. You're so kind. [11:19] Ren     Kanata's face is so close to mine... [11:25] Mayuko     What were you thinking?     You're soaking wet, Kana-chan! [11:28] Mayuko     You need to learn to take an     umbrella when it's going to rain. [11:35] Sign     MF Ghost [11:36] Sign     MF Ghost [11:36] Ren     MF Ghost. [11:36] Sign     MF Ghost [11:36] Sign     MF Ghost [11:37] Sign     MF Ghost [11:41] Sign     MF Ghost [11:41] Sign     MF Ghost [11:41] Sign     MF Ghost [11:41] Sign     MF Ghost [11:42] Kanata     MF Ghost. [11:46] Commentator     And as the sun rises, we're looking at perfectly     dry conditions, so the time trials can resume. [11:56] Commentator     Driving the 10, the Lexus     LC 500, is Emile Hänninen. [12:03] Commentator     And in the 5, the Audi R8,     it's the highly acclaimed Sakamoto Yudai. [12:08] Commentator     But Sawatari Koki's time is untouchable. [12:12] Commentator     As the fourth day draws to a close,     the 4 car remains at the top. [12:16] Commentator     Still, there's no telling how it'll end up, [12:18] Commentator     because tomorrow,     the top three begin to appear. [12:26] Commentator     First up on the fifth day of qualifying,     it's Akaba Kaito in the 2 car, the Ferrari! [12:43] Akaba     There are monsters prowling in MFG. [12:45] Akaba     It's devour or be devoured. [12:47] Akaba     It's survival of the fittest. [12:54] Kanata     Ogata-san, the red Ferrari is on its run. [13:00] Kanata     What an expensive car. It's so cool. [13:04] Kanata     I noticed the higher-ranked cars do     their runs first. Is there some kind of rule? [13:11] Ogata     It's kind of a reward     for the top-ranked drivers. [13:14] Kanata     Thank you. [13:16] Ogata     Every time there's an accident on the course,      the time trials have to be delayed a while. [13:21] Ogata     That means the further down the list you are,      the more your start time gets delayed. [13:26] Ogata     So the sooner the run, the less chance you'll     be disrupted. And you can fine-tune your car. [13:31] Ogata     Basically, being high up in the points means      you get a better, earlier slot to do you run. [13:36] Kanata     I see. It's a well-thought-out system. [13:39] Ogata     Qualifying at Lake Ashinoko     tends to get delayed a lot. [13:44] Ogata     Yesterday was a total mess.     There were five accidents in the death zone. [13:48] Ogata     It meant the final car ended up     being delayed by an hour and a half. [13:54] Ogata     The death zone for this     course is seriously scary. [13:57] Ogata     Be careful out there. [13:59] Kanata     Yes, sir. [14:00] Kanata     I've seen the demo run. [14:06] Ogata     You really like those, huh? [14:08] Kanata     They're delicious. Japan has     the best snacks in the world. [14:11] Kanata     They're so refined,     I feel like I can eat them all day. [14:16] Ogata     He's doing his run tomorrow.     How can he be so relaxed? [14:21] Ogata     Doesn't he ever get nervous? [14:25] Kanata     Ogata-san? [14:27] Ogata     Y'know, I'm not the one behind the wheel,      but I'm still freaking out here. [14:33] Ogata     My heart won't stop pounding. [14:36] Ogata     Kanata, don't you feel pressure at all? [14:42] Kanata     Not when it comes to racing, no. [14:45] Kanata     After all, I've done it for longer than I can     remember, dating back to when I was small. [14:50] Kanata     It'd be one thing if I was      in a championship fight, [14:53] Kanata     but in this case, I'm a regular     challenger. I'm genuinely excited. [15:00] Commentator     Akaba Kaito finishes in     provisional second place, [15:03] Commentator     with Sawatari Koki still on top! [15:07] Commentator     And next up is... [15:10] Commentator     Driving the 8, the Porsche 911     Carrera GTS, it's Jackson Taylor. [15:20] Taylor     Things have been weirdly tense     right from the start this season. [15:27] Taylor     I can't afford to make any mistakes, [15:29] Taylor     but playing it too safe would be even worse. [15:32] Taylor     The second you start driving defensively,     you'll be blasted out of the Godly Fifteen. [15:38] Taylor     That's how intense the     level of competition is now. [15:43] Taylor     I've never gone into a time attack     feeling this amount of pressure before. [15:51] Commentator     And Taylor in the 8 ends up     in a provisional fifth place! [15:55] Commentator     There are two days of qualifying left! [16:05] Mayuko     Want some more coffee, Kana-chan? [16:07] Kanata     I'm good. It's getting late,     so I'll head to my room now. [16:11] Kanata     Thanks for the coffee. [16:14] Ren     I think I will, too. [16:15] Ren     I've got tomorrow off, so maybe     I'll do my extra lessons for Monday. [16:19] Mayuko     I don't want you two staying up too late. [16:21] Ren     Okay. [16:21] Kanata     Right. [16:24] Ren Dad     I'm impressed with Kanata-kun. [16:27] Ren Dad     He's got an important qualifying run     tomorrow, but he's relaxed to the core.

[17:34] Ogata     I went over the setup,     so you should be good. [17:36] Kanata     Thank you, Ogata-san. [17:38] Aiba     Yo. I came to root for you. [17:40] Kanata     Aiba-senpai! [17:42] Ogata     I thought only associated personnel were     allowed in the paddock on the sixth day. [17:46] Aiba     Big shots like me get by on recognition. [17:50] Aiba     You'll wanna aim for provisional 12th      with all you've got, Kanata. [17:53] Aiba     It'll be tough, but you need to     do that to qualify for the race. [17:57] Kanata     The 86 has evolved quite a bit, so as long as     I don't make any mistakes, I've got a chance. [18:03] Aiba     As usual, he's annoying calm. [18:07] Aiba     Do you really understand     what's going on here, dude? [18:18] Commentator     And day six's time attacks have begun! [18:21] Ren     Looks like Mami-san's on shift today.     She's got a dynamite body. [18:27] Ren     I'm gonna watch qualifying, too. [18:29] Ren     Can you explain anything     I don't understand, Daddy? [18:32] Ren Dad     Sure, ask me anything. [18:34] Ren Dad     If you're going to be an MFG Angel,     it's important you learn about the races. [18:40] ren     I know. [18:43] Commentator     This year's MFG visit to Lake Ashinoko     is proving to be a must-watch! [18:47] Commentator     And the obvious spotlight falls on     the man with the most pole positions, [18:52] Commentator     Ishigami Fujin in the 1 car! [18:54] Commentator     But there's one other driver of note today... [18:59] Commentator     Someone I bet the fans are     very familiar with by this point. [19:02] Commentator     He qualified 15th last time out, despite     driving an underpowered Toyota 86 GT. [19:07] Commentator     In the race, he shocked everyone     by clawing his way up to ninth. [19:13] Commentator     On a relatively flat course like Ashinoko     with a lack of corners, how will he fare? [19:19] Commentator     It's no surprise people call Katagiri     Kanata an unpredictable "miracle boy." [19:29] Commentator     And so, the 86 arrives at the gate     with 15 seconds to go. [19:37] Mami     Over here, Katagiri-kun. [19:42] Ren     She winked and blew him a kiss? [19:44] Ren     Isn't that against the rules? [19:47] Ren     We're not supposed to show     favoritism to any particular driver. [19:52] Ren     I'm gonna tell the manager,     Uehara-san, about her. [19:57] Commentator     Up goes the board.
