[00:09] Aiba
    Are you kidding me? Check your phone, Ogata!
[00:12] Aiba
    You guys are in tomorrow's race!
[00:15] Ogata/Kanata
    Huh?
[00:15] Aiba
    You can earn some prize money, too!
[00:18] Ogata/Kanata
    Huh?!

[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.

    The Enoden is so fun.
[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.

    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] 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

[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?

    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.
