[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

[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.

It's like he's moving on a combination
of reflexes and split-second improvisation.
[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

[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.
