1
00:00:03,630 --> 00:00:06,230
Of all the drivers in MFG,
2
00:00:06,230 --> 00:00:09,630
I'm pretty sure I've studied
Kanata the most.
3
00:00:10,190 --> 00:00:13,100
I've rewatched his videos
enough to seem crazy.
4
00:00:13,710 --> 00:00:15,600
And because of that, I know...
5
00:00:16,070 --> 00:00:20,560
Kanata's killer move has gotta be
sliding it around the outside.
6
00:00:20,780 --> 00:00:23,060
So my goal is to prevent it.
7
00:00:23,420 --> 00:00:25,870
Aiba is in the crosshairs now!
8
00:00:25,870 --> 00:00:27,900
But can the 9 escape?
9
00:00:27,900 --> 00:00:31,780
When will Katagiri Kanata launch
the next stage of his ongoing assault?
10
00:00:32,410 --> 00:00:34,950
MFG is proving to be
a strange category.
11
00:00:35,410 --> 00:00:40,710
The races seem set up to make drivers do
outdated, idealized guff like "play fair."
12
00:00:40,710 --> 00:00:46,340
But I don't race with some archaic notion
of chivalry in my head.
13
00:00:46,780 --> 00:00:51,800
When I witness a high-level performance,
I feel the competitive urge to top it.
14
00:00:52,160 --> 00:00:55,810
I guess racing gives you pride
and a craving for the spotlight.
15
00:00:57,710 --> 00:01:02,690
I'm not sure why, but I feel like I'm about
to get a signal from Mr. Beckenbauer.
16
00:01:03,430 --> 00:01:05,940
Does he want to swap positions?
17
00:01:06,810 --> 00:01:09,190
Be my guest. No objections here.
18
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:11,700
They're approaching
the Jumping Spot!
19
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:15,870
And if something's about to happen,
this is a pretty likely venue for it!
20
00:01:18,860 --> 00:01:20,420
Kanata's pulling to the outside.
21
00:01:20,420 --> 00:01:23,290
But I saw that coming,
and I won't let it happen.
22
00:01:29,670 --> 00:01:33,550
Aw, are you kidding me, Kanata?
23
00:01:34,030 --> 00:01:37,300
Forgive me, Senpai.
I'll apologize in person later.
24
00:01:38,570 --> 00:01:42,030
They didn't wait for the Jumping Spot.
They pounced right before it.
25
00:01:42,450 --> 00:01:47,650
What just happened, Sudo-san?
Because I'm struggling to believe my eyes.
26
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:43,200
27
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:47,020
The Lead Group Splits
28
00:01:48,010 --> 00:01:52,010
While Aiba-kun in the 9 was busy watching
for a pass around the outside,
29
00:01:52,010 --> 00:01:56,770
the 12 car jumped up the inside of the 86.
30
00:01:57,180 --> 00:02:01,910
The strongest train
swapped around in an instant.
31
00:02:02,510 --> 00:02:08,380
But, Sudo-san, that seems,
uh, kind of impossible to me.
32
00:02:08,690 --> 00:02:13,860
I mean, there's no way for the 86
and the 12 to communicate, right?
33
00:02:13,860 --> 00:02:16,980
Even making eye contact
would be out of the question.
34
00:02:16,980 --> 00:02:18,890
You're right about all of that.
35
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:22,690
But even so, I think they must
have been on the same page.
36
00:02:23,010 --> 00:02:28,190
Because otherwise, that position change
couldn't possibly have gone so smoothly.
37
00:02:28,750 --> 00:02:30,940
The timing of that dive was flawless.
38
00:02:31,450 --> 00:02:33,680
You could call it a sort of sixth sense,
39
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:38,820
born from both sharing a heightened
state of mind while in the zone.
40
00:02:39,430 --> 00:02:43,940
I apologize to the listeners
if that explanation seems flimsy,
41
00:02:44,210 --> 00:02:48,270
but it's the best one
I can provide at this time.
42
00:02:51,410 --> 00:02:54,840
There's one other thing
that strikes me as odd.
43
00:02:55,340 --> 00:02:59,350
And that is Katagiri Kanata
surrendering a position so easily.
44
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:04,040
In terms of race management,
isn't that a critical mistake?
45
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:05,830
Considering who's involved,
46
00:03:05,830 --> 00:03:09,060
isn't there a risk that he won't
be able to re-pass him later?
47
00:03:09,060 --> 00:03:12,180
It's hard to imagine for most people,
48
00:03:12,180 --> 00:03:16,320
but I believe these two
share a unique intent.
49
00:03:16,690 --> 00:03:19,320
They likely consider their return
to the head of the pack
50
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:23,200
and their inevitable confrontation
to be totally separate issues.
51
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:25,890
Katagiri Kanata is confident.
52
00:03:25,890 --> 00:03:29,500
And the same applies to Beckenbauer.
53
00:03:29,920 --> 00:03:31,940
The mindsets of these two prodigies,
54
00:03:31,940 --> 00:03:36,380
who have total confidence in themselves
despite acknowledging their rivals' skills,
55
00:03:36,380 --> 00:03:41,260
are likely to make this race
wholly unpredictable as it goes on.
56
00:03:41,670 --> 00:03:44,220
A shared sensibility
between a pair of geniuses?
57
00:03:45,550 --> 00:03:48,230
That sums it up so well,
you can't help but laugh.
58
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,570
But he seems more active than usual.
59
00:03:51,570 --> 00:03:55,320
It's like Kanata's enjoying this race
more than all the others.
60
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:58,820
That goes for him and Beckenbauer.
61
00:03:59,140 --> 00:04:01,690
Hurry up and ask me, Uehara-san.
62
00:04:01,690 --> 00:04:04,430
And now, a question for Marie-san.
63
00:04:04,430 --> 00:04:09,180
Do you, uh, think you'll be able
to get married? You know, considering?
64
00:04:10,020 --> 00:04:12,690
O-Of course I can!
65
00:04:12,690 --> 00:04:15,090
Ask me the same question
as everyone else!
66
00:04:15,090 --> 00:04:19,220
And could you stop being so rude?
This is sexual harassment!
67
00:04:19,220 --> 00:04:22,380
I hope you weren't expecting me
to marry you, Uehara-san.
68
00:04:22,380 --> 00:04:23,880
Because I don't like you.
69
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:25,650
Where'd that come from?
70
00:04:28,950 --> 00:04:30,660
Sawatari.
71
00:04:30,660 --> 00:04:35,150
You placed below me
in the rankings last season.
72
00:04:35,150 --> 00:04:40,080
I used to empathize with
your lack of motivation, man.
73
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:41,660
It's just a bubble, right?
74
00:04:42,030 --> 00:04:45,170
Man, it's so gross, getting that fired up.
75
00:04:49,340 --> 00:04:54,460
Sorry, Oishi. Being this far down the field
just doesn't satisfy me anymore.
76
00:04:57,060 --> 00:05:02,760
It's so gross how he stands out so much,
with his slick driving and his good looks.
77
00:05:03,010 --> 00:05:05,430
But the thing I hate most of all...
78
00:05:05,430 --> 00:05:08,600
is how I get nowhere when I go all out,
then become discouraged.
79
00:05:08,830 --> 00:05:11,060
That's the grossest part of all.
80
00:05:11,060 --> 00:05:14,980
Seeing a nudge like that is enough to
start throwing around the term "expert."
81
00:05:15,220 --> 00:05:19,070
MFG's backstreet brawler
is making some noise!
82
00:05:19,280 --> 00:05:22,450
I don't think I can reach the head
of the pack, no matter how hard I go.
83
00:05:23,410 --> 00:05:26,080
I've already punished my tires.
84
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:28,830
But if that's how it is,
I'll raise hell in the midfield.
85
00:05:29,430 --> 00:05:32,930
I want Sana, who knows nothing
about racing, to tell me how cool I am.
86
00:05:34,500 --> 00:05:36,630
Like she does when
we're in bed sometimes.
87
00:05:38,780 --> 00:05:42,900
Look at that dazzling Italian red!
All eyes on the Prancing Horse!
88
00:05:44,220 --> 00:05:48,060
The strongest train is hot on the trail
of Akaba Kaito in the 2 car!
89
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:52,180
Beckenbauer? So you crawled up
out of hell, did you?
90
00:05:52,620 --> 00:05:55,860
The last thing I need is him
clinging all over me.
91
00:05:55,860 --> 00:06:00,070
The pressure and stress
would be enough to wear me out.
92
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:07,060
It's fascinating how the strongest train,
despite their differences,
93
00:06:07,060 --> 00:06:09,080
work in sync so effectively.
94
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:13,230
You have one driver who's so precise,
he gets compared to a machine.
95
00:06:13,230 --> 00:06:18,130
A "cyborg" with shrewd race management,
and physical and mental resilience.
96
00:06:18,470 --> 00:06:21,440
That really suits Beckenbauer,
the epitome of rationality.
97
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:25,380
Meanwhile, Katagiri Kanata is full of
surprises, and never boring to watch.
98
00:06:25,830 --> 00:06:29,220
You could say he has a kind of creativity
that defies normal logic.
99
00:06:29,220 --> 00:06:31,530
He does things that seem
irrational at times,
100
00:06:31,530 --> 00:06:34,020
but in his hands,
they become effective weapons.
101
00:06:34,420 --> 00:06:36,730
He's a genuine one-of-a-kind.
102
00:06:37,110 --> 00:06:41,980
I think describing him as an artist
instead of an athlete sums it up.
103
00:06:42,610 --> 00:06:44,490
You're not wrong.
104
00:06:44,780 --> 00:06:48,380
The boy's parents were
both artists to their core.
105
00:06:48,870 --> 00:06:52,490
And that influence is clear on Kana-chan,
right down to his DNA.
106
00:06:52,850 --> 00:06:55,810
I really would prefer
if he didn't race at all.
107
00:06:56,790 --> 00:06:59,000
So now, we're speaking to Big Sis Kyoko.
108
00:06:59,330 --> 00:07:01,930
What kind of person
would you like to marry?
109
00:07:01,930 --> 00:07:03,430
Good question.
110
00:07:03,430 --> 00:07:09,220
Well, keeping it simple, a guy who makes
decent money and has a decent libido.
111
00:07:09,220 --> 00:07:11,020
U-Uh...
112
00:07:11,020 --> 00:07:13,640
Okay, same question to Number Seven.
113
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:18,610
Well, I've never given
any serious thought to marriage,
114
00:07:18,610 --> 00:07:20,430
so I don't have a full answer.
115
00:07:21,010 --> 00:07:23,400
But I do have some thoughts
on the subject.
116
00:07:23,980 --> 00:07:27,670
I don't just want someone
who will make me happy.
117
00:07:27,670 --> 00:07:33,570
I want to go through life with a desire
to make the other person happy.
118
00:07:33,570 --> 00:07:37,920
And I think if I can accomplish that,
it'll make me happy, too.
119
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:41,790
Oh, sorry. That probably
sounds contradictory.
120
00:07:42,020 --> 00:07:46,050
It's just something
I've thought about before.
121
00:07:46,490 --> 00:07:51,140
When did my little Ren
start sounding so grown-up?
122
00:07:51,630 --> 00:07:55,310
She used to flit from one thing to another,
like the only child she is.
123
00:07:55,310 --> 00:07:58,510
I've been seriously worried about her
more than once.
124
00:07:58,510 --> 00:08:01,480
But she's always been sweet and honest.
125
00:08:01,820 --> 00:08:05,630
Besides, she has a big brother now.
126
00:08:06,010 --> 00:08:09,400
Maybe that's changed
her only child way of thinking.
127
00:08:10,060 --> 00:08:12,870
You know, that might be it.
128
00:08:13,210 --> 00:08:16,290
Kanata-kun's been a big influence on her.
129
00:08:16,290 --> 00:08:17,870
He certainly has.
130
00:08:18,450 --> 00:08:23,090
Maybe this is just my personal bias,
but they seem like a good couple to me.
131
00:08:23,610 --> 00:08:28,530
I used to think I'd sooner die than let
my only daughter go off with god-knows-who.
132
00:08:28,530 --> 00:08:32,100
But Kanata-kun...
I wonder if he'd be willing to take her.
133
00:08:40,450 --> 00:08:43,480
Wow. I can see that red car
three places behind me.
134
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:47,110
The Silent Artist finally appears.
135
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:49,310
I was tired of waiting, darling.
136
00:08:49,610 --> 00:08:51,860
These other guys are nothing next to you.
137
00:08:51,860 --> 00:08:54,280
Come here and embrace me already.
138
00:08:55,650 --> 00:09:00,250
Shit. It's sooner than I wanted,
but I'll pull in front of the Aston,
139
00:09:00,530 --> 00:09:05,010
and use that cutie as a buffer
to keep Beckenbauer off my tail.
140
00:09:05,820 --> 00:09:07,880
Don't take it personally, baby.
141
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:11,680
That's a terrible idea against Emma.
142
00:09:20,730 --> 00:09:22,390
I went to bump her...
143
00:09:22,390 --> 00:09:23,730
and she evaded me?
144
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:26,360
Did the two of them get caught up?
145
00:09:26,610 --> 00:09:28,980
If you want to act stupid,
prepare to be punished.
146
00:09:30,860 --> 00:09:33,820
And that's some ruthless payback
by Emma Greene!
147
00:09:34,170 --> 00:09:36,370
The 2 car is sent skidding!
148
00:09:36,370 --> 00:09:39,080
And it gives the curb
more than just a little tap!
149
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:41,140
It loses speed as a result!
150
00:09:41,140 --> 00:09:44,820
And along comes the strongest train
to overtake him!
151
00:09:45,150 --> 00:09:49,210
None of our classmates at the academy
dared to try to rough up Emma.
152
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:54,090
They knew if they did,
she'd pay them back tenfold.
153
00:09:54,310 --> 00:09:57,600
It earned her a nickname: the Witch.
154
00:09:57,600 --> 00:09:59,720
My life just flashed before my eyes.
155
00:10:00,010 --> 00:10:03,600
She looks as sweet as an angel,
but she drives like a demon.
156
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:06,610
And that's two places
lost for Akaba Kaito!
157
00:10:07,090 --> 00:10:09,110
Talk about a close one.
158
00:10:09,110 --> 00:10:12,350
It seems the incident hasn't
been flagged up by the stewards.
159
00:10:12,770 --> 00:10:14,490
Not sure I agree with that call.
160
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:19,500
Maybe they viewed it as
the 2 car having started it?
161
00:10:19,500 --> 00:10:23,370
Even so, I would've flagged it up,
even if only to give a warning.
162
00:10:23,370 --> 00:10:25,870
But the beautiful woman gets a pass.
163
00:10:25,870 --> 00:10:29,010
Considering the stewards
are all aging men...
164
00:10:30,770 --> 00:10:34,050
Our feed turns to the leader, the 885.
165
00:10:34,050 --> 00:10:39,010
Waiting at the bottom of
this steep slope is the final corner.
166
00:10:39,810 --> 00:10:42,100
Then, it's on to the seafront of Sector 1,
167
00:10:42,100 --> 00:10:46,680
taking us into the fourth lap with
the second half of the race still to come!
168
00:10:50,770 --> 00:10:52,080
MF Ghost.
169
00:10:55,540 --> 00:10:57,070
MF Ghost.
170
00:10:58,690 --> 00:11:02,790
Let's take this chance
to go over who's where.
171
00:11:03,090 --> 00:11:05,540
Leading the way is Moroboshi in the 885.
172
00:11:05,820 --> 00:11:08,040
In second, it's Greene in the 624.
173
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:12,030
Then, shockingly,
it's Beckenbauer in the 12.
174
00:11:12,030 --> 00:11:14,550
He's in third,
and on for a podium place.
175
00:11:14,550 --> 00:11:17,610
Katagiri in the 86 is now in fourth!
176
00:11:17,610 --> 00:11:22,350
Is it fair to say they've rejoined
the battle for first at this point?
177
00:11:22,350 --> 00:11:25,140
I'd say so. Especially
considering the gap.
178
00:11:25,140 --> 00:11:29,270
In fifth, it's Akaba in the 2, and to me,
he seems a bit disheartened now.
179
00:11:29,710 --> 00:11:33,280
In sixth place, it's Aiba in the 9.
Seventh is Yanagida in the 6.
180
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:35,280
In eighth, it's Ishigami in the 1 car.
181
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:40,070
Ninth-placed Kitahara in the 18
is looking for a chance to pass the 1,
182
00:11:40,070 --> 00:11:42,450
but so far, she's been rebuffed each time.
183
00:11:42,450 --> 00:11:45,700
That said, Kitahara Nozomi
seems pretty up for it today.
184
00:11:46,100 --> 00:11:47,960
In tenth, it's Maezono in the 13.
185
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:50,210
And right behind him is the 4.
186
00:11:50,210 --> 00:11:54,460
Sawatari Koki's pace
seems to have slowed some.
187
00:11:54,740 --> 00:12:00,220
I'm not so sure. The 4 doesn't
have a power advantage...
188
00:12:00,570 --> 00:12:02,820
and given how spread out the field is,
189
00:12:02,820 --> 00:12:05,380
even as the current
lap record holder,
190
00:12:05,380 --> 00:12:09,200
catching up to the car
in front will take time.
191
00:12:09,950 --> 00:12:11,980
In 12th. it's Oishi in the 3 car.
192
00:12:11,980 --> 00:12:14,110
In 13th, it's Sakamoto in the 5.
193
00:12:14,110 --> 00:12:16,110
In 14th, it's Taylor in the 8 car.
194
00:12:16,110 --> 00:12:18,360
And in 15th, it's Yashio in the 16.
195
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:22,460
It's a long race, and the leaders
are now entering the second half of it.
196
00:12:23,350 --> 00:12:25,870
I intended to take the 2 down myself,
197
00:12:26,090 --> 00:12:28,870
but he fell out of contention.
What an anticlimax.
198
00:12:29,210 --> 00:12:33,380
I'd say this is far enough.
Go on, Katagiri.
199
00:12:33,980 --> 00:12:35,000
You sure?
200
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:37,000
I'm paying you back.
201
00:12:37,380 --> 00:12:39,380
And once this is done, expect no mercy.
202
00:12:40,710 --> 00:12:44,390
Whoa! The 86 is pulling
in front of the 12 car?
203
00:12:44,680 --> 00:12:48,400
It almost looked like
Beckenbauer gave way.
204
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:52,640
I believe they just made eye contact.
That was their way of declaring war.
205
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:55,300
Battle has recommenced
from here on out.
206
00:12:56,420 --> 00:13:01,390
It looks like the gentleman's agreement
behind the strongest train has ended.
207
00:13:01,850 --> 00:13:06,380
Was that returning the favor for swapping
positions just before the Jumping Spot?
208
00:13:06,770 --> 00:13:11,040
I'm surprised to see such sportsmanship
from the cyborg, AKA the absolute king.
209
00:13:11,430 --> 00:13:15,930
They were caught up in an unlucky accident
and fell through the field.
210
00:13:15,930 --> 00:13:20,420
The 86 and the 12 have made
a miraculous comeback.
211
00:13:20,790 --> 00:13:25,180
But at the end of the day, Beckenbauer
has been mostly providing assistance,
212
00:13:25,180 --> 00:13:28,470
while Katagiri Kanata
has been going on the attack,
213
00:13:28,470 --> 00:13:30,930
creating opportunities
for them to move up.
214
00:13:31,180 --> 00:13:34,940
Beckenbauer understands that.
215
00:13:35,350 --> 00:13:39,250
Call that move resetting their stance
towards each other.
216
00:13:39,670 --> 00:13:41,820
What an incredible insight.
217
00:13:41,820 --> 00:13:45,750
I have to say, I feel a bit more positive
towards Beckenbauer now.
218
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:48,040
Can't say I agree with you there.
219
00:13:51,900 --> 00:13:54,150
Here comes Katagiri Kanata.
220
00:13:54,470 --> 00:13:55,580
Damn, he's amazing.
221
00:13:56,110 --> 00:13:59,460
With my darling joining us,
I'm afraid I have no further use for you.
222
00:13:59,870 --> 00:14:03,470
You've done well up to now, 885 boy.
223
00:14:04,070 --> 00:14:06,470
But this is goodbye.
224
00:14:08,390 --> 00:14:09,600
Say what?
225
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:11,430
That wasn't my fault.
226
00:14:11,430 --> 00:14:13,350
Blame your own tunnel vision.
227
00:14:13,350 --> 00:14:16,540
And they make contact!
The 885 looks shaky!
228
00:14:16,540 --> 00:14:19,880
They hit the Hydro Trap side by side!
229
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:22,300
And there they go!
230
00:14:22,940 --> 00:14:25,700
What a time to go on the attack!
231
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:31,700
The 885 and the 624 return
to dry asphalt still side by side!
232
00:14:31,700 --> 00:14:35,960
And the 86 is clinging right to the 624!
233
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:38,590
I'll make use of your tow, Emma.
234
00:14:38,590 --> 00:14:41,280
Oh, my. By all means, enjoy.
235
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:44,720
That 4.0-liter twin turbo
V8 engine is roaring!
236
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:47,340
The Aston Martin pulls off the overtake!
237
00:14:48,290 --> 00:14:49,600
Hang in there, Supra.
238
00:14:49,850 --> 00:14:53,000
Don't you dare lose out to the 86
in a contest of acceleration.
239
00:14:54,980 --> 00:14:56,600
You're losing, damn it.
240
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:04,240
And it almost goes without saying
that Beckenbauer follows on through!
241
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:10,200
The slipstream is so tightly packed,
the 885 has nowhere to go!
242
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:14,540
It's a baptism of fire for him
on the high-speed Double Lane course!
243
00:15:14,770 --> 00:15:17,940
After running first
for the first half of the race,
244
00:15:17,940 --> 00:15:22,050
the 885 falls all the way back to fourth!
245
00:15:22,050 --> 00:15:26,300
That's gotta be frustrating
for the rookie, Moroboshi!
246
00:15:26,610 --> 00:15:29,810
Okay. That's good timing.
You can still do this.
247
00:15:30,180 --> 00:15:32,310
This should revive Sena.
248
00:15:32,750 --> 00:15:35,580
He'll show us what he's really made of now.
249
00:15:36,130 --> 00:15:39,310
Sena to booth.
Do you read me, Yukihira-san?
250
00:15:39,940 --> 00:15:41,970
Do I look lame out here?
251
00:15:42,690 --> 00:15:45,240
Good question. I'd have to say yes.
252
00:15:45,670 --> 00:15:47,200
I figured.
253
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:49,800
Sena, where did you qualify?
254
00:15:50,130 --> 00:15:51,750
In fourth.
255
00:15:51,750 --> 00:15:54,950
That's what I thought.
And what position are you in now?
256
00:15:54,950 --> 00:15:57,970
Now? In fourth, I guess.
257
00:15:57,970 --> 00:15:59,210
Well, there you go.
258
00:15:59,450 --> 00:16:03,060
You're just back to where you started.
That's no reason to start sulking.
259
00:16:03,060 --> 00:16:05,170
If you are lame, that's why.
260
00:16:05,700 --> 00:16:08,070
Where's the value in a position
you didn't earn?
261
00:16:08,070 --> 00:16:11,050
It only counts if you grab it yourself.
262
00:16:11,050 --> 00:16:14,180
So look sharp, Sena.
That Porsche is getting away.
263
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:16,350
Catch him and take him down.
264
00:16:16,350 --> 00:16:20,380
Who's the true inheritor
to the pride of Gunma?
265
00:16:21,100 --> 00:16:23,650
Aw, hell. He said the magic words.
266
00:16:24,130 --> 00:16:28,150
Roger. Sena to booth. I'm gonna go
take down the Porsche.
267
00:16:28,430 --> 00:16:30,850
Just you wait. Over.
268
00:16:33,570 --> 00:16:35,620
Now, to the battle for tenth,
269
00:16:35,620 --> 00:16:38,250
between Maezono in the 13
and Sawatari in the 4.
270
00:16:41,850 --> 00:16:46,550
I didn't expect this battle to see
who has the worst luck to actually happen.
271
00:16:47,410 --> 00:16:50,180
Maezono-san, do you really
wanna drive with that number?
272
00:16:50,510 --> 00:16:53,170
In the west, nobody uses 13.
273
00:16:53,170 --> 00:16:54,300
Is that right?
274
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:59,230
Well, I'm the rational type, so I don't go in
for superstitions and all that stuff.
275
00:16:59,830 --> 00:17:02,420
Besides, you're one to talk.
276
00:17:02,420 --> 00:17:04,830
That's one unlucky number here in Japan.
277
00:17:04,830 --> 00:17:08,230
Oh well. I don't worry
about that stuff, either.
278
00:17:08,650 --> 00:17:10,970
We might not be starting
near each other,
279
00:17:10,970 --> 00:17:13,300
but if we do meet up in a race,
280
00:17:13,300 --> 00:17:17,620
why don't we have ourselves
a battle of the unlucky numbers?
281
00:17:17,990 --> 00:17:20,620
Love it. And I won't lose.
282
00:17:22,550 --> 00:17:24,840
That NSX is one fast car.
283
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:27,630
It's taking all I've got
just to get into his slipstream.
284
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:30,630
I need to attack when
his speed starts to drop.
285
00:17:30,630 --> 00:17:34,500
The trick will be to utilize
the slipstream of the faster cars.
286
00:17:34,500 --> 00:17:37,810
Tapping into wind power
is how to win Double Lane.
287
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:42,630
The four cars vying
for first will soon exit
the seafront of Sector 1
288
00:17:42,630 --> 00:17:45,670
as they steam into
the 180-degree turn!
289
00:17:47,230 --> 00:17:49,070
This spot is so much easier.
290
00:17:49,070 --> 00:17:53,070
It beats the pressure of being up front
with someone nipping at your heels.
291
00:17:53,070 --> 00:17:55,700
It's easier to focus
when you're doing the chasing.
292
00:17:56,230 --> 00:18:00,120
And look who's in front of me.
The driver everyone says is the best.
293
00:18:00,450 --> 00:18:04,460
Talk about tasty. Time to steal
some of that world-class driving technique.
294
00:18:10,820 --> 00:18:13,440
I'd say the fact
we're even having this battle
295
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:17,570
means you've had
the worse luck today, Sawatari.
296
00:18:17,970 --> 00:18:21,850
And while I pity you, we're racing,
so don't expect me to go easy.
297
00:18:22,250 --> 00:18:25,420
Show me evidence of your speed.
298
00:18:27,060 --> 00:18:29,940
There's one spot where people
lose the most speed.
299
00:18:30,190 --> 00:18:31,940
And it's coming up.
300
00:18:32,360 --> 00:18:35,820
Whoa! And the 4 makes its move!
301
00:18:35,820 --> 00:18:39,080
It's a battle on the brakes at the entry
to the 180-degree turn!
302
00:18:46,210 --> 00:18:49,180
Overtake? Check!
303
00:18:49,180 --> 00:18:53,210
With the sharpness of a razor,
Sawatari Koki slices past!
304
00:18:53,550 --> 00:18:55,720
That was incredible late braking.
305
00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:58,930
He must've accounted for
the drop in speed from going uphill.
306
00:18:58,930 --> 00:19:00,970
What a brave choice.
307
00:19:00,970 --> 00:19:03,020
I don't think these numbers matter.
308
00:19:03,260 --> 00:19:07,480
Religion and superstitions are just fantasies
cooked up by the human mind.
309
00:19:08,050 --> 00:19:14,240
There are no gods.
The unfairness of the world proves that.
310
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:18,180
Physics and science rule the universe.
311
00:19:22,570 --> 00:19:24,750
What is this? His cornering is different.
312
00:19:25,360 --> 00:19:29,250
The Japanese drivers I know
slow down at the entry to a corner,
313
00:19:29,250 --> 00:19:31,500
then speed up as they exit.
314
00:19:31,850 --> 00:19:33,880
But Beckenbauer...
315
00:19:34,510 --> 00:19:39,140
He doesn't do that. He maintains
his speed and draws a wide arc.
316
00:19:39,620 --> 00:19:42,640
I feel like I've seen this
somewhere else before.
317
00:19:42,930 --> 00:19:44,150
I know.
318
00:19:44,150 --> 00:19:48,020
I sensed the same thing when I was
behind Katagiri Kanata at the Peninsula.
319
00:19:48,670 --> 00:19:51,690
Back then, the 86 had lost second gear,
320
00:19:51,690 --> 00:19:56,830
and I thought this cornering style
was him trying to mitigate it, but...
321
00:19:57,400 --> 00:20:02,030
Is this just how European drivers do it?
322
00:20:02,030 --> 00:20:03,690
Well, I'm game.
323
00:20:03,690 --> 00:20:07,750
If the top two drivers are
using this technique, so will I.
324
00:20:15,090 --> 00:20:16,630
I'm impressed, Emma.
325
00:20:16,630 --> 00:20:19,400
You've got an incredible grasp
of this course.
326
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:23,010
Talented drivers never forgo
basic preparations.
327
00:20:23,370 --> 00:20:25,770
You're even more fearsome
than I imagined.
328
00:20:26,190 --> 00:20:29,690
We're now seeing the lead cars
splitting into two groups.
329
00:20:30,260 --> 00:20:33,680
How should we interpret this, Sudo-san?
330
00:20:34,110 --> 00:20:38,610
From what I can see, Emma Greene
has upped her game since taking the lead.
331
00:20:38,900 --> 00:20:43,670
Ever since the 86 pulled in behind her,
she's increased her pace.
332
00:20:44,130 --> 00:20:47,230
Katagiri Kanata's known
for his sprinting ability,
333
00:20:47,230 --> 00:20:49,180
but he doesn't seem to be holding back.
334
00:20:49,890 --> 00:20:55,080
Does that mean the cars in third and fourth
are having trouble keeping up?
335
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:57,380
No, shockingly enough,
336
00:20:57,700 --> 00:21:01,880
Moroboshi in fourth is putting pressure
on Beckenbauer in third.
337
00:21:03,140 --> 00:21:06,180
The absolute king is focused
on what's behind him.
338
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:09,350
And by leaving a bigger gap
to the cars in front,
339
00:21:09,350 --> 00:21:12,440
he's probably given himself
more freedom to maneuver.
340
00:21:13,380 --> 00:21:17,940
I'm a bit shocked a rookie is
displaying this much potential.
341
00:21:17,940 --> 00:21:20,700
There's no telling how
this race might end now.
342
00:21:21,100 --> 00:21:24,200
Each of the contenders have
what it takes to win.
343
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:28,700
And this battle is likely to continue
all the way to the final lap.
344
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:32,460
Darling.
345
00:21:38,210 --> 00:21:41,330
We're looking at a four-way
contest for first,
346
00:21:41,330 --> 00:21:45,220
which would be
yet another first for MFG.
347
00:21:45,470 --> 00:21:48,600
I wouldn't risk
missing this climax, folks!
