02x08 - The Conclusion

[bunniefuu]

Both sides are gradually closing in.

Akaba's Car No. 2 is in hot pursuit.

Now they are 1.96 seconds apart.

Don't give up, Car No. 86.

Show your pride!

The fantastic last lap!

The most thrilling scene in MFG history

is right before me.

(MF GHOST Season 2)

(Turn 20: Conclusion)

The battle for sixth place is underway

on the Ekiden Straight.

Aiba, driving Car No. 9,

is closing in on Sakamoto's Car No. 5.

He's now bursting

out of the slipstream.

Don't underestimate me.

My car is a mid-engine 4WD model.

When it comes to top speed,

it won't lose to your lousy Nissan.

Watch me turn the tables!

Car No. 5 is half a car length ahead.

And Car No. 9

AZEYA

is not giving in.

Neither side is yielding to the other.

The brake point is just ahead.

Both cars enter

the cornering simultaneously.

Car No. 9, slightly too fast,

is drifting outward.

Dangerous!

That's the thing

that pisses me off the most.

Once agitated, you dare to cross the line

of life and death casually.

Competing with a fool with no fear,

I might suffer.

Both sides are racing side by side

on the narrow National Highway Route 1.

What will be the outcome

of this exciting battle?

Let's switch the camera.

Now let's look at

the much-anticipated battle for third place.

Car No. 2

is right behind Car No. 86.

However, overtaking

won't be so easy for him.

Car No. 86's cornering speed is very fast.

You are really something, impressive.

Although you haven't made

any obvious blocking moves,

there's no room for me to cut in.

You must have accumulated

a lot of racing experience.

I don't want to decide the winner

during the cornering.

Let's watch the leading group's struggle

between Car No. 12 and Car No. 4.

Even though I'm one step away

from driving him into a corner,

this is racing.

Although the gap seems small, the difference

between first place and second place is poles apart.

It's really frustrating.

This is my third year in MFG,

yet today is the first time

I feel so regretful and want to cry.

Both sides pass through the final turn,

heading towards the finish line

on the Hakone Pass.

Two cars drive straight along

the No.1 line for the last lap.

And now

Crossing the finish line!

The champion is Michael Beckenbauer.

Continuing his opening race performance,

he secures a second consecutive win.

He is gradually building up

a formidable fortress.

Fantastic,

Michael Beckenbauer!

FINISH, MICHAEL BECKENBAUER

Michael Beckenbauer

brought us an exciting race

SCORING 18 POINTS, FIRST PLACE

brought us an exciting race.

Alright, let's move on

to the battle for third place.

I'm more concerned about

the situation over there now.

This kind of not-quite-dry road

is the most troublesome,

making me think the tires grip to the ground,

but would slip occasionally.

I'll cut my car in under the overpass

of Hakone New Road ahead.

As long as I can be side by side with him,

then I can fight it out in the final corner.

This way, he'll be at a loss.

The finish line is right ahead.

The battle for third place

is quite fierce.

Car No. 2 wants to use brake skills

to get alongside the car in front.

But Car No. 86's cornering speed

is very fast.

Then I'll switch lanes with him.

Let's fight it out

at the exit of the final corner.

Car No. 86 went straight into

the final corner without braking.

Car No. 2 entered the corner

from the outside lane with a light brake.

If the horizontal G force remains,

I'm definitely going to lose.

To keep a glimmer of hope,

I must eliminate the horizontal G force.

Both sides have switched lanes.

The two cars are fighting it out

with acceleration on the final climb.

Car No. 2 gradually pulls ahead.

The checkered flag is waved.

Akaba's Car No. 2

led by half a car length.

Oh.

Come on. So disappointed.

What a dramatic outcome!

The gap between two cars

that finished 75.9 kilometers

is only about 50 centimeters.

Kaito Akaba's pursuit is fantastic.

And Kanata Katagiri's performance

is outstanding.

The intense battle between them

makes the battle

for first place tarnished.

I can't help but praise on them.

Now let's see the intriguing battle

for sixth place.

After driving side by side

through four corners,

Sakamoto's Car No. 5

eventually admits defeat.

I must drive this car

to finish the season.

How can I smash it right here?

I am not like you who is being rash.

I'm not scared of you.

This is just a strategic retreat.

It's good that you are back off.

Car No. 13, Maezono,

finished alone in fifth place.

The following cars

arrived one after another.

Car No. 9, Aiba.

Car No. 5, Sakamoto.

Car No. 8, Taylor,

driving alone, finished eighth.

And the winner

among the three-car battle was

Car No. 18, Kitahara,

Car No. 7, Ohtani,

Car No. 6, Yanagida.

Following them was

Car No. 16, Yashio.

Car No. 1, Ishigami,

finished in the thirteenth place.

Lastly was Car No. 23, Kyogoku.

It's over.

Now there's just the award ceremony left.

Was the battle very intense

during the last phase of the race?

Mr. Tanaka, who was broadcasting live,

kept shouting non-stop.

My work is all finished.

I'm hungry.

Miss Kyoko, Miss No. 7.

You've been chosen.

Okay.

Have I been chosen?

(MF GHOST Season 2)

(MF GHOST Season 2)

Let's give a round of applause to the two racers

who fought their way out of the dogfight

under terrible circumstances.

Now, let the angels present

the kiss of blessing.

What to do?

Oh no.

Why is it me?

Have I been chosen?

Is there something wrong?

The second-placed Sawatari

chose Miss No. 7.

And the third-placed Akaba

chose Miss Kyoko.

Please get ready.

Sawatari.

I won't let you off.

How dare you set your sights on my No. 7.

The prize for fourth place

is 25 million yen.

Half of that would be 12.5 million yen.

That's a lot.

Katagiri.

Your performance was wonderful.

Congratulations!

Thank you.

Here's my contact information.

Don't think of me as just any girl, okay?

Because

I only give it to you.

Message me.

You're really popular, Kanata.

I'm so jealous.

That's a headache.

I don't know how to deal with it.

What's with that girl?

She's just an angel, yet she dares

to make a move on my Kanata.

Can't believe it.

Why do I feel so restless after the race?

I really want to see Sana soon.

Sawatari, please come here.

I have a word to you.

What's wrong, senior?

Why do you look so terrifying?

I'd like to make an agreement with you.

You already have a girlfriend.

Don't set your sights on angel No. 7.

Eh?

Senior, are you

enchanted by that girl?

Exactly, I am

Eh?

Don't use such a difficult word.

Anyway, I'm crazy about No. 7.

Senior, you sure have a good eye.

I think she's the most outstanding

among this year's eight angels.

Right?

Then you better not have designs on her.

This is an agreement between men.

But upon thinking about it,

you're a lolicon,

so I shouldn't have to worry.

Senior, let me tell you some good news.

She's even younger than you think.

What?

I guess her age is probably 17 or 18.

No way. How do you know that?

It's an intuition I had

after observing closely.

I can tell by the elasticity of the skin

or the shape of the body.

Though she showed her forehead

and wore thick makeup to look more mature,

that couldn't fool my natural sense.

When she kissed me at the award ceremony,

her ears turned red with shyness,

and her body was also trembling.

She is a pure angel rarely seen

in today's society.

Go for it, senior.

No way.

Who would believe it?

You must be tired, Kanata.

I'll drive on the way back.

Thank you.

But I'm not that tired.

Hi, both of you.

I'll hold the celebration

at that barbecue place we often go to.

You must come, Kanata.

It's on me.

Ogata, you come too.

Shun

is really great at this.

In today's race, your ranking

was clearly better than his.

Should I say he's big-hearted?

After the race,

you're just a junior to him.

Senior Aiba is truly

a charming nice person.

Someday, that No. 7 angel

will definitely notice his strengths.

That's hard.

He's a nice guy,

but he doesn't attract women.

Mr. Ogata, you would drink, right?

Then I'll drive.

No.

I'm not in the mood to drink today.

Give me the key.

Are you sure?

Hello.

Long time no see.

You must be as busy as always, right?

Not at all.

No matter how busy I am,

I'm not as busy as you.

The reason I'm calling is to tell you

that for the next round,

I want him to compete.

Fumihiro doesn't know yet, right?

Please tell him for me.

Yes, please.

I will return to Takasaki

for the Obon Festival.

And I will visit dad's grave.

Let's have a meal together then.

That's it.

Were you on the phone with Ryosuke?

President, you mentioned something

about participating in a race, right?

Is it

Exactly.

He has already agreed.

I want to let him race

in the next race at Manazuru.

That will be

Sena Moroboshi's MFG debut race.

That's great!

Finally, he can race.

I'll contact Mr. Matsumoto about it.

Gunma will surely be cheering.

But why the long wait?

Simply put, because it would be unfair.

After all, he is the racer I trained.

He has mastered

all the Fastest on Roads Theories

and the mechanisms

of grip-to-weight ratio.

I understand it too.

My brother has always been

particularly strict with his own people.

You should be very clear about that.

Indeed. Mr. Ryosuke

is only strict with you.

But how do we explain Fujiwara's student

participating in the race?

That kid seems more like the chosen one

for the Fastest on Roads Theories.

That would be unfair.

Because Fujiwara

has always stayed in England,

and didn't get involved in

the establishment of MFG.

Anyway, he made it clear from the beginning

that before MFG reached a certain level,

he wouldn't agree

to let the racer I trained race in.

The condition he set for his approval was

that at least two racers to break

my demonstration record in the preliminaries.

I see.

That's the thing.

The seal has been lifted.

But I didn't expect

I'd have to wait for four years.

They are hailed as the Godly Fifteen,

but there's nothing remarkable.

None of them are getting any progress.

The hydrangeas have already bloomed.

When I feel summer approaching,

what exactly is the fluttering

in my heart?

It's like being urged on by something,

and I can't calm down.

There's a feeling

that makes me want to rush out.

Perhaps in our DNA,

summer has been considered

a special season since ancient times.

And now,

I've fallen for a boy

whose name with "Summer".

The summer of Shonan is coming.

That will be the most passionate

and special summer in my life.

Good morning, Ren.

Good morning.

The rain keeps pouring down.

Because it's the rainy season.

KATASE ENOSHIMA

Mr. Kanata feels just like a prince.

Is that so?

His appearance and demeanor are stylish.

And he talks politely.

Everyone calls him Prince Kamakura.

Really?

They say so because they only see Kanata

when he's working.

At work, his hair

and clothes are all neat.

It's a far from how he is at home.

He doesn't even comb his hair

after he washes it.

He even walks around with no shirt on.

And his attire is surprisingly casual.

But since he has a good shape,

he looks good in anything.

But I'd better not mention any of this.

Where could I find

a handsome guy abandoned by the roadside?

It's not like picking up a puppy.

-Wakana is a girl with rich romantic experience.

-Summer is coming.

-As far as I know,

-I really want a boyfriend.

-she dated with six guys

-I want a super handsome boyfriend.

-since junior high school.

-Give Mr. Kanata

-But each relationship never lasted long.

-to me.

-In contrast,

-No way, he's not my property.

-I've never been in a relationship.

-And even my mom

-But I can't imagine what's like

-wouldn't approve

-to have a boyfriend

-either.

-or date a boy.

-My mom likes Kanata even more than I do.

I'm already a high school sophomore.

This might be a bit worried.

However, I am who I am.

Did you see the guy

working the cash register?

He's so handsome.

Is he a model?

Katagiri.

It's about time.

You can clock out for the day.

Yes.

Thank you for today's hard work.

Thank you.

I really like the thank-you words

Japanese would say when leaving work.

Well

Given the two results so far,

let me start with the proposal

I've been thinking about.

Although the turbo modification plan

for the 86 is set,

I think there is another option,

which is to switch to another car model.

Toyota also has the SUPRA.

MEIJI MACADAMIA CHOCOLATE

SUPRA's transmission system is excellent.

If Mr. Okuyama could

further tune the suspension,

we can expect it to exhibit

significant combative capabilities.

What do you think, Kanata?

So indifferent.

I'm not very interested in this proposal.

Why?

Before that, I have a question

for Mr. Okuyama.

If we put a turbo on the 86,

how much horsepower is going to be raised?

After all, it is a turbo.

It can get up to 400 or 500 horsepower

if you want.

But what I envision

is a proposal for around 300 horsepower.

300?

Brilliant!

GR SUPRA!

Don't tell me

you've already bought it, Ogata.

No, of course not.

I've never even seen this car.

Is it a visitor?

Sorry for the sudden visit.

I am Sena Moroboshi

from the Dream Project.

Dream Project?

From Keisuke Takahashi?

I'm here for Kanata Katagiri.

Is he here?

Kanata?

Who is it?
