WEBVTT 00:05.470 --> 00:06.870 Sorry for turning up unannounced. 00:07.520 --> 00:11.050 My name is Moroboshi Sena. I'm with Dream Project. 00:11.540 --> 00:15.710 I'm actually entering MFG starting from the third race. 00:15.710 --> 00:18.600 I'm just on my way back from the MFG office in Odawara. 00:19.430 --> 00:25.010 Your place was on my drive back to Gunma, so I felt I had to drop in and say hello. 00:25.670 --> 00:28.140 I'm glad we got to meet. I feel lucky. 00:28.540 --> 00:31.220 So yeah, I'm Moroboshi Sena. Nice to meet you. 00:31.220 --> 00:33.900 Likewise. I'm Katagiri Kanata. 00:34.640 --> 00:39.740 I'm two years older than you, but you have more experience in MFG. 00:40.340 --> 00:45.250 Getting through qualifying can be a tall order for a rookie, 00:46.020 --> 00:48.950 but seeing you pull it off on your first attempt 00:48.950 --> 00:52.460 was really inspiring to everyone following in your footsteps. 00:53.000 --> 00:59.430 Did you know that the guy I call my mentor and your teacher used to be on the same team? 00:59.810 --> 01:03.790 Wow, really? Sorry, I didn't know. 01:03.790 --> 01:08.400 Fujiwara-sensei didn't say a lot about his time in Japan. 01:08.830 --> 01:11.220 I see. Well, it is what it is. 01:12.480 --> 01:18.280 I just wanted you to remember my face. We will soon be racing on the same stage. 01:22.520 --> 01:25.250 I look forward to us getting the chance to battle. 01:48.110 --> 01:49.900 MF Ghost 02:59.850 --> 03:00.450 m 0 0 l 100 0 100 100 0 100 02:59.850 --> 03:04.270 The Rival 03:08.520 --> 03:12.350 Did you see the number on that Supra, Okuyama-san? 03:12.620 --> 03:14.730 It was 885. 03:15.340 --> 03:17.690 There aren't even 400 entries in MFG. 03:18.090 --> 03:20.730 So what's with the overinflated number? 03:21.510 --> 03:26.740 I think I know why they went with that number, though it's a little corny. 03:26.740 --> 03:30.520 He seemed to want to be rivals with Kanata. 03:30.520 --> 03:35.400 But does that kid even realize how hard it is to make it into the Godly Fifteen? 03:35.400 --> 03:38.670 He's gonna find out the hard way. 03:38.980 --> 03:44.480 No, he's a fast driver. I think he really will become a fierce rival. 03:45.080 --> 03:46.850 Sena's a good name. 03:47.500 --> 03:51.800 Well, anyway, Kanata, that car we just saw was a Supra. 03:51.800 --> 03:56.020 Toyota released it a lot later than the 86 and it's much racier. 03:56.020 --> 03:59.980 As long as we keep the same manufacturer, we can swap models midseason. 04:00.260 --> 04:05.520 Please, Kanata. Let's fight the rest of the season in a Supra with the number 86 on it. 04:06.230 --> 04:09.570 I'm sorry, Ogata-san, but it's a no from me. 04:10.330 --> 04:14.180 What I really want is to update the 86. 04:14.180 --> 04:21.520 But why? We're in the business of racing. What's wrong with wanting more firepower? 04:21.520 --> 04:25.340 Okuyama-san, you try talking some sense into him. 04:25.340 --> 04:30.240 I'm sure it'll be way more convincing coming from you. 04:30.240 --> 04:32.180 That's easy to say, but... 04:32.640 --> 04:36.820 At the end of the day, I think we should respect the driver's opinion. 04:36.820 --> 04:38.220 Not you, too, Okuyama-san. 04:38.220 --> 04:42.150 It's fine. If we're sticking with the 86 whatever happens, 04:42.150 --> 04:46.990 that'll prove to be its own interesting challenge for me as a mechanic. 04:52.950 --> 04:54.830 Sorry for making you give me a ride. 04:55.430 --> 04:56.970 No, it's fine. 04:58.080 --> 05:02.230 Okuyama-san, when I watch Kanata battle from the booth, 05:02.230 --> 05:05.130 I keep getting this feeling like I'm being smothered. 05:06.180 --> 05:12.140 Because this car is so underpowered, he has to fight with a huge handicap. 05:12.140 --> 05:14.440 It's glaringly obvious every time. 05:15.550 --> 05:19.520 I always thought racing drivers weren't so sentimental about their cars, 05:20.060 --> 05:22.480 treating them like tools to win races, 05:22.770 --> 05:26.640 and prioritizing specs above all else if it gets them better results. 05:27.930 --> 05:30.910 I'd wager Katagiri-kun is a genuine exception. 05:30.910 --> 05:36.080 I get the impression he's an artisan. Perhaps even an artist. 05:36.080 --> 05:40.840 And his stoic, stubborn tendencies remind me a bit of his teacher, Fujiwara Takumi. 05:41.500 --> 05:44.930 Fujiwara drove an AE86 himself, you see. 05:44.930 --> 05:46.470 An AE86? 05:46.610 --> 05:49.260 Fujiwara Tofu 05:46.610 --> 05:49.260 (Family- \howned) 05:47.250 --> 05:49.260 It was an old car, even at the time. 05:49.660 --> 05:52.720 And no one would've called it powerful, even when exaggerating. 05:53.090 --> 05:57.120 But in spite of that, with some laser-focused tuning and superb technique, 05:57.120 --> 06:01.040 he graduated from street racing without suffering a single loss. 06:02.790 --> 06:05.230 I'm just speculating here, 06:05.490 --> 06:11.200 but maybe something about the numbers 8 and 6 resonates with Katagiri-kun. 06:11.200 --> 06:13.910 The numbers 8 and 6? 06:13.910 --> 06:17.500 There's something interesting about a racing driver with that mindset. 06:18.320 --> 06:20.330 Anyway, it's been decided. 06:20.330 --> 06:23.500 It's time we got started on the 86 turbo project. 06:23.930 --> 06:28.390 We'll build an 86 that a Supra won't beat. 06:31.930 --> 06:33.600 Kenchoji Temple 06:33.810 --> 06:36.640 Kenchoji Temple 06:42.280 --> 06:48.610 Oh, I just remembered. Ogata-san mentioned meeting you when you were younger, Ren. 06:48.860 --> 06:50.910 How did your paths cross? 06:50.910 --> 06:55.870 Well, Dad used to drive an old foreign car. 06:55.870 --> 06:57.580 Wow, I never would've guessed. 06:57.930 --> 07:00.460 And it used to break down a lot. 07:01.040 --> 07:04.420 He got Ogata Automotive to handle the repairs. 07:04.680 --> 07:07.670 My Dad and Ogatacchi used to be friends, 07:07.670 --> 07:11.600 so Dad would take me to his shop every now and then. 07:11.600 --> 07:15.030 They always just went on and on about weird car stuff. 07:15.030 --> 07:17.680 The two of them were such huge dorks. 07:18.660 --> 07:21.190 But whenever I started looking bored, 07:21.190 --> 07:24.930 Ogatacchi would bring me chocolate and other snacks. 07:24.930 --> 07:26.650 It was really nice of him. 07:26.650 --> 07:29.620 Wow. He hasn't changed in that regard. 07:30.760 --> 07:35.320 But then, Ogatacchi's dad got hospitalized, and things seemed tight at the shop. 07:35.620 --> 07:37.610 My dad's been worried about him, too. 07:39.170 --> 07:42.750 A lot of people appreciate classic cars in England. 07:42.750 --> 07:48.520 My grandpa loved his old Jaguar, though the rest of the family weren't so keen. 07:49.090 --> 07:55.300 One time, when I was little, I went Christmas shopping with my mother and grandpa. 07:56.210 --> 08:00.810 We got back to the car after picking up a few things and it refused to start. 08:01.200 --> 08:06.750 We sat inside an unheated car in a snowy car park for a long time. 08:07.440 --> 08:12.070 I remember my usually placid mother looking angrier than I'd ever seen her. 08:12.370 --> 08:16.000 "Do you want your only grandson to freeze to death?" 08:16.000 --> 08:18.500 "Don't take us anywhere in this heap of junk again!" 08:19.340 --> 08:21.660 Grandpa looked so sad. 08:23.290 --> 08:27.250 Oh, I totally get it! The same thing happened to us. 08:27.610 --> 08:32.210 Before Mt. Fuji erupted, we used to go to outlet malls a lot. 08:32.210 --> 08:35.270 This one time, the car started acting up on the freeway. 08:35.270 --> 08:39.140 We managed to get to a parking area, but it wouldn't move after that. 08:39.140 --> 08:41.100 Mom lost it. 08:41.410 --> 08:44.470 There must be something about men's affinity for old cars 08:44.470 --> 08:47.100 that women have trouble understanding. 08:47.360 --> 08:52.990 I'm no fan myself. They're stinky, hot, and I don't get why you wouldn't just get a new one. 08:53.270 --> 08:56.990 If he'd had a talented mechanic like Ogata-san around, 08:56.990 --> 09:01.290 I'm sure Grandpa would never have gotten rid of his Jaguar. 09:01.290 --> 09:03.450 Is Ogatacchi that good? 09:03.690 --> 09:08.890 Yes. He's also a nice guy. I'm really rather fond of him. 09:09.850 --> 09:14.630 Well, I don't really like him. He's super rude. 09:14.630 --> 09:17.590 What's wrong, Ren? Did I upset you somehow? 09:21.140 --> 09:26.110 But man, we've been walking forever. How far do these stairs go? 09:26.110 --> 09:27.850 Seems it's quite a way yet. 09:28.260 --> 09:30.000 We can take our time. 09:30.000 --> 09:34.810 It's fine. I did track so I've got the legs for this. It should be no problem. 09:43.160 --> 09:46.170 I am getting short of breath, though. 09:47.760 --> 09:51.380 But Kanata's not breathing hard or even sweating. 09:51.630 --> 09:54.220 He must be seriously cardiovascularly fit. 09:54.660 --> 09:56.880 Racing drivers are amazing. 09:58.100 --> 10:03.720 We continue our search of Kamakura at a pace of one day a week. 10:04.430 --> 10:10.060 I have this vague feeling of unease, like we've overlooked something, 10:10.420 --> 10:12.440 but there's no sense of urgency. 10:12.990 --> 10:16.250 After all, these dates in Kamakura with Kanata 10:16.630 --> 10:20.500 are more exciting than anything else in my life. 10:20.950 --> 10:22.860 It's a truly special time for me. 10:25.190 --> 10:30.050 And part of me wants it to never end. 10:35.910 --> 10:37.780 I wonder where this is. 10:38.550 --> 10:41.090 I really like this picture. 10:41.640 --> 10:45.260 I wonder what made Kanata's mom smile like that. 10:45.640 --> 10:51.700 What was the situation when they took this? Was it a special occasion? 10:53.090 --> 10:56.820 This first shot of us together... 10:57.080 --> 11:00.280 It's so funny. Kanata looks so awkward. 11:03.590 --> 11:08.070 Having someone you love might be a really big deal after all. 11:10.130 --> 11:10.460 MF Ghost 11:10.460 --> 11:10.670 MF Ghost 11:10.670 --> 11:10.880 MF Ghost 11:10.790 --> 11:12.300 MF Ghost. 11:10.880 --> 11:11.790 MF Ghost 11:11.540 --> 11:14.090 MF Ghost 11:15.170 --> 11:15.500 MF Ghost 11:15.500 --> 11:15.710 MF Ghost 11:15.710 --> 11:15.920 MF Ghost 11:15.920 --> 11:19.130 MF Ghost 11:16.320 --> 11:17.720 MF Ghost. 11:19.860 --> 11:23.930 I still can't believe it. He's fifth in the standings. 11:24.670 --> 11:29.020 I was in the booth watching him race at Odawara and Ashinoko, 11:29.020 --> 11:32.380 but it's like my brain can't process what's happened. 11:32.860 --> 11:37.940 We're best off forgetting about that fifth place and doing a full reset. 11:38.370 --> 11:40.420 At Ashinoko, he was ninth in qualifying. 11:40.420 --> 11:43.390 Without the aid of fortuitous factors like rain and fog, 11:43.390 --> 11:46.960 I'd say that's a realistic benchmark of what he can accomplish. 11:47.410 --> 11:51.000 This upgrade will be applied with that in mind. 11:51.000 --> 11:55.250 So what position are you targeting in qualifying at the next round? 11:55.500 --> 12:01.170 Taking into consideration the traits of the Manazuru course, I'd say fifth place. 12:01.170 --> 12:03.840 Fifth? That high up? 12:03.840 --> 12:08.950 I'm being serious. And with Katagiri Kanata's skills, it's possible. 12:10.140 --> 12:12.700 That's a tight spot to aim for. 12:12.700 --> 12:17.750 It's right in the zone where the top drivers will be duking it out. 12:22.960 --> 12:24.280 Kana-chan said that? 12:24.280 --> 12:29.100 Yeah, he came right out and said that he was in Japan to find his dad. 12:29.100 --> 12:31.540 That makes sense, I suppose. 12:31.980 --> 12:37.000 I'd been wondering if that was on his mind. 12:37.000 --> 12:41.460 Don't you and Dad have some idea where Kanata's dad might be? 12:41.770 --> 12:43.300 None at all. 12:43.670 --> 12:47.530 We've been in touch with old contacts to see what we could turn up. 12:47.930 --> 12:52.390 Last month, your dad even went to Gunma on his day off. 12:52.630 --> 12:54.630 Gunma? Why? 12:54.630 --> 12:58.890 To talk to someone who knew Ken-chan back in the day. 12:58.890 --> 13:00.250 Ken-chan? 13:00.250 --> 13:03.200 Oh, Kana-chan's dad. 13:03.640 --> 13:07.950 After vanishing from these parts, he apparently lived in Gunma for a while. 13:08.580 --> 13:12.860 Your dad didn't discover anything major, but he did find a clue. 13:13.190 --> 13:17.790 We weren't going to tell Kana-chan anything until we had something more concrete. 13:18.040 --> 13:24.010 I see. You and Dad were working hard to help Kanata, too. 13:24.010 --> 13:25.590 Of course we were. 13:25.590 --> 13:29.690 I really do consider Kana-chan part of this family, 13:29.690 --> 13:32.140 and I'll do anything I can to help. 13:35.480 --> 13:38.060 Now, change out of that school uniform already. 13:38.850 --> 13:40.900 And hang it up properly! 13:40.900 --> 13:42.040 Okay. 13:42.750 --> 13:45.340 My nose is suddenly all twitchy. 13:47.700 --> 13:49.380 Hey there, Kanata-san. 13:49.380 --> 13:50.700 We're here again! 13:50.700 --> 13:54.340 Welcome. You're Ren's friends, right? 13:54.720 --> 13:58.790 Thank you for coming out despite the rain. Please sit at a table of your choosing. 14:13.440 --> 14:15.020 Hey there! 14:15.330 --> 14:17.690 Kenji-senpai! Back again so soon? 14:17.690 --> 14:19.730 Dude, how bored are you? 14:19.730 --> 14:21.500 Aw, don't be like that. 14:21.500 --> 14:25.880 I'm here with a hot tip. I thought we could all enjoy the news. 14:26.990 --> 14:32.280 The young hope from Shibukawa is finally joining MFG. 14:32.280 --> 14:34.760 Moroboshi Sena? Are you sure? 14:34.760 --> 14:36.150 No doubt about it. 14:37.620 --> 14:40.580 He's Takahashi Keisuke's golden student. 14:40.580 --> 14:45.460 He set course records at Akagi, Myogi, and Akina. 14:45.460 --> 14:49.300 I hear he's called the Skywalker of the Jomo Mountains. 14:49.300 --> 14:52.280 He apparently started that nickname himself. 14:52.280 --> 14:53.640 For real? 14:53.850 --> 14:57.160 Either way, it's one more thing to look forward to. 14:57.160 --> 15:02.460 It's been a little over a month since Takumi's student appeared and shook things up. 15:02.950 --> 15:09.320 And now, Shibukawa's own Moroboshi is joining MFG hot on his tail! 15:11.370 --> 15:15.200 I'm so excited, I'm gonna start hopping around! 15:15.200 --> 15:17.660 That's a rather, uh, novel reaction. 15:18.930 --> 15:22.620 Only two weeks until the third race, huh? 15:22.620 --> 15:27.730 Who are we supposed to cheer for if they end up battling? I have no clue. 15:27.730 --> 15:33.240 Ugh, tell me about it. MFG's the only thing that keeps me going these days. 15:33.240 --> 15:36.220 When I go home, it's "kids this, kids that," 15:36.220 --> 15:40.920 while my wife gets colder and my allowance gets smaller. 15:40.920 --> 15:42.600 I know where you're coming from. 15:42.600 --> 15:47.070 It's tough being a man. It always falls to you to take care of your family. 15:47.070 --> 15:48.660 Kenji-senpai. 15:48.660 --> 15:51.030 That's why I envy Iketani. 15:51.260 --> 15:55.580 You're still a bachelor and get to actually enjoy life. 15:55.580 --> 16:00.700 Tell me about it! You're the only one here who can romance whoever you want, boss. 16:00.700 --> 16:03.140 I thought we weren't mentioning that. 16:03.140 --> 16:06.210 Besides, it's not like I choose to be single. 16:07.540 --> 16:11.030 Oh, wow, Iketani. Your hairline's receded even more! 16:11.510 --> 16:15.070 Shut up. I thought we weren't mentioning that, either. 16:21.490 --> 16:22.890 What's Ren up to? 16:22.890 --> 16:27.150 She's got end of term tests approaching, so she's at the library with a friend. 16:27.150 --> 16:32.440 She hasn't forgotten, has she? Today's the big day. 16:33.110 --> 16:38.450 There's no way she'd forget. She's meeting us at Inamuragasaki station. 16:38.700 --> 16:40.840 Okay. If you're sure. 16:40.840 --> 16:44.450 You're getting too nervous, honey. It's not even afternoon yet. 16:48.330 --> 16:50.300 Katagiri Ren 16:52.600 --> 16:56.100 Nice. That looks even better than my maiden name. 16:56.100 --> 16:57.590 Sorry for making you wait. 16:57.590 --> 16:58.600 H-Hey! 17:00.340 --> 17:03.410 So is your Kamakura search still ongoing? 17:03.410 --> 17:05.100 Sure is. 17:05.100 --> 17:10.690 Well, I was thinking you should maybe post the pic on social media and ask for help? 17:10.690 --> 17:15.820 I bet you'd get your answer pretty fast. There's lots of hardcore Kamakura fans online. 17:16.950 --> 17:18.950 I don't want to do that. 17:18.950 --> 17:22.830 That's Kanata's mom and dad in the picture, y'know? 17:23.120 --> 17:30.040 Something about that feels like it's deeply private for Kanata. 17:30.390 --> 17:34.420 I don't like the idea of posting it for a load of anonymous people to look at. 17:34.690 --> 17:36.500 I wouldn't wanna do that. 17:36.500 --> 17:39.340 I see. Good point. 17:39.630 --> 17:43.510 Hey, since we're out anyway, wanna stop somewhere? Like Komachi Street? 17:43.510 --> 17:47.070 Kanata's not at the café. We're going out to eat later today as a family. 17:48.320 --> 17:50.020 And he's going with you? 17:50.020 --> 17:52.980 Well, of course. He's part of the family. 17:52.980 --> 17:56.730 That's so nice! Could you maybe squeeze me in? 17:56.730 --> 17:59.110 Nope, that's not happening. 18:02.700 --> 18:05.080 Are you sure about this, Kana-chan? 18:05.080 --> 18:09.740 This place is kind of expensive. Should I get Dad to pay half? 18:09.740 --> 18:10.540 Hey! 18:10.540 --> 18:13.400 No. That'd defeat the whole purpose. 18:13.710 --> 18:17.260 I just got paid at my part-time job, so there's nothing to worry about. 18:17.260 --> 18:19.170 That's so nice of you, 18:19.170 --> 18:25.670 paying for dinner with your hard-earned dough rather than prize money from the race. 18:25.670 --> 18:26.850 What a sweetie. 18:26.850 --> 18:29.420 Mom, you're bringing the mood down. 18:29.420 --> 18:33.610 He's being kind and taking us all out. At least try to enjoy it. 18:33.610 --> 18:35.520 You've got a point. 18:35.520 --> 18:39.860 But my heart's so full, I don't even know if I'll be able to squeeze any food past it. 18:42.810 --> 18:45.200 This is way too much fun! 18:45.650 --> 18:49.410 The wine tastes even better than usual tonight! 18:49.410 --> 18:53.880 Mom, you've gone overboard on the wine. You're having too much fun now. 18:49.870 --> 18:53.310 Excuse me! Can I get another glass? 18:53.880 --> 18:58.130 I don't think I've ever seen you with a party of four before, Saionji-sama. 18:58.130 --> 19:02.520 Well, here's the thing: we found out my husband had a secret love child. 19:02.520 --> 19:03.850 Oh, my. 19:03.850 --> 19:08.180 Say hello to our son. Isn't he handsome? 19:08.770 --> 19:11.730 Knock that off. What if she actually believes you? 19:13.690 --> 19:17.530 Oh, come on. No one would believe that. 19:18.570 --> 19:22.540 I love the pasta here. What do you think, Kanata? 19:22.540 --> 19:24.430 It's absolutely delicious. 19:24.430 --> 19:25.830 I'm glad. 19:25.830 --> 19:29.290 Compared to the Italian restaurants I went to in London, 19:29.290 --> 19:33.250 I find this place a lot better. 19:33.250 --> 19:36.130 Great food, great wine! 19:36.130 --> 19:38.710 Mom, maybe you should slow down. 19:40.210 --> 19:42.000 Thanks for the meal. 19:42.000 --> 19:44.180 Please come and dine with us again. 19:44.180 --> 19:47.360 What a wonderful dinner. 19:48.190 --> 19:51.350 Ah, I haven't had this much fun in a long time. 19:51.350 --> 19:53.570 That sea breeze feels so good! 19:53.890 --> 19:58.320 Sorry, Kanata. Mom ordered an expensive wine, didn't she? 19:58.320 --> 20:03.860 Don't worry. As long as Mama Mayuko had a good time, I'm glad. 20:03.860 --> 20:06.850 Oh, you're such a sweetheart, Kana-chan! 20:08.030 --> 20:11.500 Will you knock it off already?! You're being embarrassing! 20:12.350 --> 20:15.880 I know tonight was your treat, Kanata-kun, 20:16.260 --> 20:18.740 but we consider you part of the family. 20:18.740 --> 20:22.010 You can stay at our house for as long as you want. 20:22.010 --> 20:26.020 In Japan, you're not really considered an adult at 19. 20:26.020 --> 20:28.790 So you can rely on us from time to time. 20:29.220 --> 20:32.680 Mayuko and I would honestly be happier that way. 20:32.680 --> 20:35.850 In that sense, you should follow Ren's example more. 20:35.850 --> 20:37.440 What's that supposed to mean? 20:37.680 --> 20:42.240 You might be right about that, but if you really feel that way, drop the "kun" already. 20:42.240 --> 20:43.610 Right, Mom? 20:43.610 --> 20:44.900 She's right. 20:44.900 --> 20:46.680 Are we really doing this right now? 20:46.680 --> 20:48.370 I appreciate it... 20:48.370 --> 20:50.990 Papa Saionji. 20:56.030 --> 20:57.580 There's the train! 20:57.580 --> 20:59.040 Hurry, everyone! 21:02.780 --> 21:06.260 Thank you, Ren. That restaurant was a good choice. 21:06.690 --> 21:10.220 My plan worked out great, thanks to you. 21:10.520 --> 21:16.190 It feels weird for you to thank me, Kanata, after you just made all of us so happy. 23:31.400 --> 23:36.690 Next time, Turn 22: The Peninsula Opens.
