[00:00] Commentator
    And we're closing in on the
    last section of the race.
[00:03] Commentator
    A nightmarish 874 meter downhill!
[00:07] Commentator
    And here he is, the man who made his name
    in Sector 3, driving the bright red 86 GT!
[00:16] Commentator
    Plunging down Hakone's mountains,
[00:19] Commentator
    this young man is blessed by gravity
    in a way that seems miraculous.
[00:23] Commentator
    A new breed of driver,
    imported from England...
[00:25] Commentator
    Katagiri Kanata is making a move!
[00:31] Kanata
    Let's go.

[02:32] Commentator
    Things are taking a turn
    for the complicated here.
[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!

    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.

[15:49] 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.
