[00:18] Second
    Cool it, Shun! You're visibly
    pushing way too hard!
[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.

    After he set a new
    record time for the course,
[01:07] Commentator
    even the other higher-ranking racers
    must be feeling the pressure.

[02:55] Kyoko
    Ciao.
[02:56] Seven
    Yes! 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] 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.

[03:49] 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.

[11:46] 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.

    Yo. I came to root for you.
[17:40] Kanata

[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

    I'm gonna watch qualifying, too.

[18:32] Ren Dad
    Sure, ask me anything.
[18:34] Ren Dad
    If you're going to be an MFG Angel,

[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.
[19:59] Commentator
    Ten seconds to go.
[20:03] Commentator
    Five. Four. Three. Two. One.

[20:10] Commentator
    And he shoots away like he's been launched!
[20:13] Commentator
    Katagiri Kanata has begun
    his Ashinoko GT run!
[20:16] Commentator
    It starts with a steady uphill section.
[20:20] Ogata
    Crap. My heart's gonna explode.
[20:24] Aiba
    The main reason I wanted
    to be in Kanata's booth
[20:27] Aiba
    is because it gives me access to the
    telemetry the regular audience doesn't see.
[20:34] Aiba
    If I can find the secret
    to his speed, I'll steal it!
[20:50] Commentator
    He's coming up to the first checkpoint!
[20:53] Commentator
    Where will he be on the leaderboard?
    Let's take a look!
[21:08] Commentator
    He's currently in 13th!
[21:10] Commentator
    Katagiri Kanata is on the attack!
[21:13] Aiba
    Wow.
[21:13] Ogata
    So fast.
[21:14] Aiba
    What's going on here? I thought
    you said the engine wasn't touched.
[21:18] Aiba
    The opening section's slightly uphill, too.
[21:23] Commentator
    He already has the attention flag on him!
[21:27] Commentator
    Lake Ashinoko is said to be
    the toughest course in MFG,
