[00:33] HARUKA
    Two-tenths.
[00:35] HARUKA
    Again.
[02:10] KOTAROU
    That race the other day
     was such a missed opportunity.
[02:13] HARUKA
    I ended up finishing seventh.
[02:16] KOUYA
    It really was too bad, Haruka-kun.
[02:19] KTOAROU
    You would've had a shot at first
     if you could've kept it up.
[02:22] HARUKA
    It's because I screwed up in qualifying.
[02:24] HARUKA
    We miscalculated how much
    longer the tires would last.
[02:27] KOTAROU
    Your tires had no grip left
     at all in the second half.
[02:31] FUTOSHI
    You already wore them
    down on the test day,
[02:34] FUTOSHI
    fine-tuning the huge
    setup changes you made.
[02:37] KOTAROU
    Man, if only we had the budget to practice
    as much as we wanted on brand-new tires.
[02:43] KOUYA
    The budget, huh?
[02:45] KOUYA
    I'm really sorry I made
    your sponsor drop you.
[02:48] KOTAROU
    This again?
[02:50] KOUYA
    Well, you know...
[02:52] HARUKA
    It wasn't your fault.
[02:53] KOUYA
    What?
[02:54] HARUKA
    It wasn't your fault. No matter what
    anyone says, it wasn't your fault.
[02:59] HARUKA
    I know it wasn't.
[03:00] KOUYA
    Haruka-kun...
[03:02] KOUYA
    Yeah.
[03:02] KOTAROU
    Well, it used to be just us, anyway.
[03:07] KOTAROU
    The reason we even had a sponsor,
    if only temporarily, was because of you.
[03:10] HARUKA
    Yeah. And I should be apologizing.
[03:14] HARUKA
    I'm sorry, Kouya.
[03:16] KOUYA
    What?
[03:17] HARUKA
    You didn't get to take
    my picture on the podium.
[03:21] KOUYA
    Oh, it's totally fine.
[03:23] KOUYA
    I mean, it's a shame you didn't win,
     but don't worry about me.
[03:27] KOTAROU
    It'll be a photo to remember, right?
[03:29] KOTAROU
    So we'd better get you up there.
[03:32] KOUYA
    Sae-chan said she doesn't
    understand my fixation on it,
[03:36] KOUYA
    but if I "want to do it, hurry it up."
[03:38] KOTAROU
    A realist, huh?
[03:42] KOUYA/ID
    But...
[03:46] KOUYA/ID
    Will I actually be able to take it?
[03:49] HARUKA
    You'll get it next time.
[03:50] KOUYA
    Huh?
[03:51] HARUKA
    I'll make it onto the podium next time
     so you can take the picture.
[03:57] KOUYA
    Right.

[04:39] SATSUKI
    Now, then.
[04:41] SATSUKI
    Time to warm up.
[04:46] KOTAROU
    Okay, press it.
[04:52] KOUYA
    Like that?
[04:54] KOTAROU
    Okay, again.
[04:57] KOTAROU
    Again.
[04:59] KOTAROU
    Again.
[05:01] KOTAROU
    And release the pedal.
[05:03] KOTAROU
    Okay, good. All done.
[05:06] HARUKA
    Having three people makes
    changing the brake fluid a lot easier.
[05:09] KOUYA
    Was I useful? Was I?
[05:12] HARUKA
    Yeah.
[05:12] KOUYA
    Really? Then call me whenever
    you do it. I'll come over anytime.
[05:16] HARUKA
    All you did was press the pedal.
[05:19] FUTOSHI
    And I'm around.
[05:20] KOUYA
    I'll come anyway. I'll press it with you.
[05:23] KOTAROU
    You think you and Dad
     would both fit in there?
[05:27] HARUKA
    The brake fluid has to be
    replaced after every race.
[05:32] HARUKA
    We change the brake pads every three races,
[05:34] HARUKA
    and we replace the brake rotors
     about twice a year.
[05:36] KOUYA
    So tires aren't the only consumables, huh?
[05:39] KOTAROU
    Rich teams replace
    everything after every event.
[05:44] KOUYA
    How much does that cost?
[05:47] KOUYA
    Hup! Tight fit.
[05:51] KOUYA
    I didn't know the driver's seat
     was so cramped.
[05:53] FUTOSHI
    Not just cramped. There aren't
    any comforts like AC or a stereo, either.
[05:59] KOUYA
    I'm amazed you can sit in there for so long.
[06:02] HARUKA
    Well, this is a motorsport, after all.
[06:04] KOUYA
    A sport, huh?
[06:06] KOTAROU
    Yeah, a real friggin' expensive one.
[06:10] DINER
    Komaki-san, are you in here?
[06:12] FUTOSHI
    Oh, hey, it's everyone
    from the shopping center.
[06:15] FUTOSHI
    How can I help you?
[06:16] DINER
    You know how Haruka-kun and that guy
    from your garage asked us to sponsor you?
[06:28] KOUYA
    It was nice meeting you back then.
[06:30] KOUYA
    I'm embarrassed to say I didn't know
     what I was doing at the time.
[06:34] KOUYA
    I'm sorry for the trouble.
[06:36] DINER
    Well, actually, it came up in
    a shopping center get-together later.
[06:41] DINER
    We've watched some races here and there.
[06:43] BUTCHER LADY
    You got Mikazuki Beverages to
    sponsor you, and you made it pretty far.
[06:48] BUTCHER LADY
    We were rooting for you.
[06:50] FUTOSHI
    Well, thank you.
[06:52] FISHMONGER
    And then, you went back
    to driving a blank white car.
[06:56] FISHMONGER
    The other day, you dropped to seventh
    after making it up to second.
[07:00] FISHMONGER
    We were so disappointed, we wondered
    if there was anything we could do about it.
[07:05] BAKER
    So someone suggested
    we give sponsoring you a try.
[07:08] FUTOSHI
    What?
[07:10] BAKER
    That said, we're not big companies
    like Mikazuki, so we can't afford much,
[07:15] BAKER
    but the whole shopping center could
    probably scrape something together.
[07:18] FUTOSHI
    But... are you sure?
[07:21] DINER
    Sure we are. We know you, and we see
    Haruka-kun delivering papers every day.
[07:28] BUTCHER
    We thought maybe
    we could do something, too.
[07:31] BUTCHER
    You know, that thing people do these days.
     What do they call it? Fanning?
[07:35] BUTCHER LADY
    It's "stanning."
[07:38] DINER
    Here.
[07:39] FUTOSHI
    Oh, no, I can't accept this.
[07:41] DINER
    It's fine.
[07:43] FUTOSHI
    Please, I can't.
[07:45] DINER
    Just take it.
[07:47] FUTOSHI
    But I really can't—
[07:48] DINER
    Take it. Use it to help Haruka-kun win.
[07:54] DINER
    Okay?
[07:59] FUTOSHI
    Thank you, everyone.
[08:02] ALL
    Thank you.
[08:11] KOTAROU
    Today, we can burn through
    these to fine-tune your setup.
[08:15] KOUYA
    You got new tires, huh?
[08:17] FUTOSHI
    Yeah. But not just tires.
[08:19] FUTOSHI
    We replaced all the consumables
    around the undertray and brakes.
[08:22] KOTAROU
    If you just replace bits and pieces,
    the old parts will hold you back.
[08:27] KOTAROU
    If we wanna reach that podium,
    we gotta replace everything.
[08:30] KOTAROU
    Let's go for it.
[08:32] HARUKA
    Yeah.
[08:35] KOTAROU
    Cruise around and break in the new tires.
[08:37] KOTAROU
    Then one more inspection
     and it's hot lap time.
[08:40] HARUKA
    Got it.
[08:41] KOUYA
    Good luck, Haruka-kun.
[08:53] SATSUKI
    Oh, man. The sounds. The smell.
    I really feel like I'm back.
[08:59] ALICE
    Satsuki-san, welcome back.
[09:02] SATSUKI
    Alice-chan, you're here, too?
[09:04] ALICE
    I heard you were returning today,
    so I just had to show my support.
[09:07] ENA
    Well, Harunaga? Think you can drive today?
[09:10] SATSUKI
    I had a good long rest.
[09:12] SATSUKI
    If I don't move around soon,
     I'll be totally out of shape.
[09:15] TOSHIKI
    Satsuki.
[09:20] SATSUKI
    Hey, Toshi-kun. You seem to be doing well.
[09:25] TOSHIKI
    You're really coming back
    to racing like that?
[09:30] SATSUKI
    I'm fine driving a car,
[09:32] SATSUKI
    but if I trip while walking and
    injure myself, it'll delay my recovery.
[09:36] SATSUKI
    It's just insurance.
[09:38] SATSUKI
    See? I can use my right foot to brake.
[09:42] TOSHIKI
    Fine. Just don't end up
     having another accident.
[09:45] SATSUKI
    I won't. Thanks, Toshi-kun.
[09:48] TOSHIKI
    What?
[09:49] SATSUKI
    I won't make you worry anymore.
[09:52] TOSHIKI
    I'm not worried about you, idiot.
[09:58] ENA
    Want to jump in and see how
    you're feeling? Go for a quick drive.
[10:01] SATSUKI
    Okay.
[10:07] SATSUKI
    Komaki Motors is working hard.
[10:10] SATSUKI
    I'd better do my best, too.
[10:29] YUITANI
    Harunaga-san's back, huh?
[10:31] YUITANI
    We've been through a lot, but now,
    the team can go back to how it was.
[10:35] TOSHIKI
    You sound relaxed.
[10:36] YUITANI
    What?
[10:57] SIGN
    Sports Racing FS-4 Class
[10:59] TOSHIKI
    Someone just out of the hospital shouldn't
    be that fast. Keep your feet on the ground.
[11:05] SATSUKI
    Boy, that was fun.
[11:07] SATSUKI
    Nothing beats a circuit.
[11:10] ENA
    You still haven't fully recovered,
    but that was pretty good.
[11:14] SATSUKI
    It's exhausting driving
    for the first time in a while.
[11:17] SATSUKI
    I need to regain my stamina
    before the next race.
[11:20] ENA
    Have you had enough for today?
[11:22] SATSUKI
    No, I can keep going.
[11:25] ENA
    I see. I hope you regain your touch soon.
[11:28] SATSUKI
    Yes, sir.
[11:48] SATSUKI
    Acceleration's fine, but the Gs are
    crazy when braking and cornering.
[11:54] SATSUKI
    The race is 30 minutes nonstop. That's brutal.
[11:59] SATSUKI
    But there's something
    important I have to do first.
[12:14] ALICE
    Huh? Kota-chan, you're by yourself?
[12:17] KOTAROU
    Yeah. Haru left already to nap
    until the start this afternoon.
[12:21] KOTAROU
    But why are you here?
[12:22] ALICE
    Satsuki-kun's returning today,
    so I came to support him.
[12:25] KOTAROU
    I see. And?
[12:27] ALICE
    He seems to be doing well.
[12:30] ALICE
    Must be because of my visits.
[12:33] ALICE
    I have you to thank for that, Kota-chan.
[12:35] KOTAROU
    Me?
[12:35] ALICE
    You encouraged me to support him.
    That's how I was able to visit Satsuki-kun.
[12:41] KOTAROU
    Oh, right. Go me.
[12:44] ALICE
    Probably, anyway. My memory's hazy.
[12:46] KOTAROU
    Don't forget about that!
[12:49] ALICE
    Anyway, I got to talk to Satsuki-kun
    about all kinds of things.
[12:52] ALICE
    Like his worries, and how to do your best.
[12:55] ALICE
    Things I don't normally think about.
[12:58] ALICE
    It made me realize I need
    to work on myself, too.
[13:02] KOTAROU
    Um, who are you talking to?
[13:05] ALICE
    The parfait.
[13:05] KOTAROU
    If you want one that bad, get one.
[13:07] ALICE
    I have to lose weight by the next race!
[13:12] KOTAROU
    That's not my problem.
[13:14] ALICE
    But maybe I can have just one bite.
[13:17] KOTAROU
    Wanna order one, then?
[13:18] ALICE
    This one's fine.
[13:19] KOTAROU
    Hey!
[13:29] ALICE
    I feel so much better.
[13:31] ALICE
    Thanks, Kota-chan.
[13:33] ALICE
    Okay, see you later.
[13:35] KOTAROU
    What was that all about?
[13:42] ENA
    You want to be the number one driver again?
[13:44] SATSUKI
    Yes. I thought maybe I should wait, but after
    doing those laps, I think I can handle it.
[13:51] SATSUKI
    So what do you think?
[13:54] SATSUKI
    What do you say, Toshi-kun?
[13:55] TOSHIKI
    Wait, you're asking me?
[13:58] SATSUKI
    Well, you're the current number one, right?
[14:01] SATSUKI
    I need your opinion on it.
[14:05] ENA
    But, Harunaga, being the number one
     in your first race back is risky.
[14:09] SATSUKI
    I know, right?
[14:11] TOSHIKI
    You knew and you asked anyway?
[14:15] ENA
    But it's true that
    Tokumaru's times aren't great.
[14:18] ENA
    If Komaki Motors hadn't screwed up
    in the last race, they might have won.
[14:23] TOSHIKI
    That was a fluke.
[14:25] ENA
    Then, let's do this: the whole team
    will race each other today.
[14:30] ENA
    The winner is the number one for the race.
[14:34] SATSUKI
    All right! Thank you, Ena-san.
[14:38] SATSUKI
    Good luck to both of us, Toshi-kun.
[14:40] TOSHIKI
    You ass.
[14:46] KOTAROU
    He's coming.
[14:48] FUTOSHI
    All right! Great time!
    His times are improving with every lap.
[14:52] KOTAROU
    Today, we'll go hard and fine-tune
    without worrying about saving the tires.
[14:56] KOUYA
    Tires are really important, huh?
[14:59] KOTAROU
    The tires are where the car
    is in contact with the ground.
[15:02] KOTAROU
    So no matter how hard you try,
    you can't go faster than your tires allow.
[15:07] FUTOSHI
    In other words, races are determined
     by a technique and a setup
[15:12] FUTOSHI
    that pushes the tires right to the limit.
[15:14] FUTOSHI
    In the race, they call it
    "laying down rubber."
[15:16] FUTOSHI
    Rubber from the tires gets into the
    track's surface and increases the grip.
[15:21] FUTOSHI
    That requires additional changes
    to driving technique and the setup.
[15:25] FUTOSHI
    Knowing that, we want to fine-tune them
    under the best conditions possible.
[15:29] KOUYA
    So that's why you want so many new tires.
[15:33] FUTOSHI
    The best lap is the third or fourth one,
    when things are up to temperature.
[15:37] FUTOSHI
    We can do up to ten laps if we let
    everything cool from time to time.
[15:41] KOTAROU
    You know how the broth gets thinner
    when eating somen noodles?
[15:44] KOTAROU
    Even if you'd rather have undiluted broth,
    replacing it after every bite would be costly.
[15:50] KOTAROU
    It's the same thing.
[15:52] KOUYA
    I don't think I understand your example.
[15:54] KOTAROU
    Why not? I just broke it down for you
    in a really easy-to-understand way!
[15:59] KOUYA
    He's back.
[16:02] KOTAROU
    That went as expected. How was it?
[16:05] HARUKA
    Good. I can go even faster.
    I wanna shave more time off in the straights.
[16:09] HARUKA
    We could maybe reduce the wing a bit.
[16:10] KOTAROU
    Leave it to me.
[16:15] HARUKA
    Belsorriso...
[16:21] TOSHIKI
    One warm-up lap,
    then a rolling start for a five-lap race.
[16:25] SATSUKI
    Whoever comes first will be the number one.
[16:27] SATSUKI
    Good luck to us, Toshi-kun.
[16:29] CREW
    Will Harunaga-kun be all right?
[16:32] ENA
    Well, let's trust that he knows himself best.
[16:35] CREW
    Yes, sir.
[16:36] ENA
    Besides, he seems to be more
    worried about something else.
[16:40] CREW
    What?
[16:41] ENA
    In any case, let's see
    how their race turns out.
[16:45] ALICE
    Satsuki-kun, good luck.
[16:59] BOTH
    And go!
[17:02] TOSHIKI
    Yes!
[17:05] KAGAYAMA
    Hey!
[17:05] SATSUKI
    That's one.
[17:07] KAGAYAMA
    Attacking already?!
[17:14] SATSUKI
    Another one.
[17:18] YUITANI
    Did he wait for us to go off-line while
    jockeying for position in the TGR corner?
[17:22] YUITANI
    You're kidding.
[17:27] TOSHIKI
    Satsuki...
[17:36] ENA
    He's trying real hard.
[17:37] ENA
    No, the fire under him
     is making him anxious.
[17:40] CREW
    Harunaga-kun's number one
     status is on the line.
[17:44] ENA
    No, not him.
[17:45] CREW
    What?
[17:46] ENA
    It's Tokumaru who's anxious.
[17:49] TOSHIKI
    He's right on my tail.
[17:51] TOSHIKI
    He's just out of the hospital,
    but he's making it look easy.
[18:03] YUITANI
    They're so fast.
[18:04] KAGAYAMA
    I can't keep up.
[18:07] TOSHIKI
    He's following my line precisely.
[18:09] TOSHIKI
    Seriously? He's attacking now?
[18:18] TOSHIKI
    Is he really injured?
[18:21] SATSUKI
    More.
[18:23] ENA
    How's it looking?
[18:24] CREW
    Tokumaru-kun's fast.
     He's beating his recent qualifying time.
[18:29] CREW
    Harunaga-kun's keeping
    the gap to Tokumaru-kun small.
[18:42] TOSHIKI
    If I let my guard down, he'll pass me.
[18:44] TOSHIKI
    Damn it. What is this?
[18:47] SATSUKI
    Toshi-kun, you're not my enemy.
[18:50] SATSUKI
    If you get distracted,
    I'll take your position.
[18:58] TOSHIKI
    How can he drive like this?
[19:02] TOSHIKI
    What's making him do this?
    Is he that desperate to be leading?
[19:06] TOSHIKI
    He wants to win that badly?
[19:13] TOSHIKI
    He's...
[19:32] TOSHIKI
    That's right. I get it. I want that.
[19:36] TOSHIKI
    I want to be in front and
    take the checkered flag first!
[19:41] SATSUKI
    Not bad, Toshi-kun.
[19:42] SATSUKI
    That's right. You're not my enemy.
[19:46] SATSUKI
    I'm my own enemy,
[19:47] SATSUKI
    just like you are yours.
[19:50] SATSUKI
    Forget about me.
[19:52] TOSHIKI
    The others behind me don't matter.
[19:54] TOSHIKI
    I don't care who's chasing me.
[19:56] TOSHIKI
    I'm only looking at what's in front of me!
[20:00] CREW
    Here they come!
[20:11] CREW
    Tokumaru-kun came first.
    He stayed just ahead of Harunaga-kun.
[20:17] ALICE
    Satsuki-san!
[20:19] ENA
    Good. Very good.
[20:22] ENA
    I'm excited for the next event.
[20:27] TOSHIKI
    That's right. I have to beat myself.
[20:31] TOSHIKI
    What's behind me doesn't matter.
[20:32] TOSHIKI
    That's how you've always raced, isn't it?
[20:36] SATSUKI
    Godspeed.
[20:38] SATSUKI
    Psych.
[20:41] TOSHIKI
    Unbelievable.
[20:43] TOSHIKI
    Don't blame me if you regret helping a rival.
[20:48] KOTAROU
    Haru, it's ready.
[20:49] KOTAROU
    We'll get your setup perfect today.
[20:55] KOUYA
    See you later.
[20:59] HARUKA
    I'll be back.
[21:03] KOTAROU
    All done.
[21:07] KOUYA
    Your blank white machine
    finally looks the part again.
[21:10] KOTAROU
    That's a ton of sponsors.
[21:13] HARUKA
    I can't believe they all support us.
[21:16] HARUKA
    I need to thank them.
[21:18] HARUKA
    What?
[21:19] KOUYA
    Nothing. I just thought you didn't
    like people cheering for you.
[21:23] HARUKA
    Maybe. But maybe not.
[21:28] KOUYA
    I see.
[21:32] KOUYA
    Ah, it's Sae-chan.
[21:33] KOUYA
    Hello?
[21:34] SAEKO
    Hello. I'm calling about work.
[21:38] SAEKO
    I talked the chief into doing
    a special issue. Can you handle it?
[21:42] KOUYA
    A special issue? On what?
[21:43] SAEKO
    Isn't it obvious? On F4.
[21:47] SAEKO
    A young driver hoping to go pro, and the
    formula races that act as his gateway.
[21:52] SAEKO
    Thanks for covering the story, Kou-chan.
[21:55] KOUYA
    Thanks for covering it? You mean...
[21:57] KOTAROU
    You'd better make it up onto that podium.
[22:01] HARUKA
    Yeah, I will.
