Kanata Katagiri : MFG, huh? (0:02:04.28)
Kanata Katagiri : My friends in England
were all obsessed with it, too.
(0:02:18.94)
Kanata Katagiri : Makes sense it's popular here,
as it started in Japan.
(0:02:21.91)
Kanata Katagiri : I honestly can't make head or tail of
these addresses. Talk about a bad start.
(0:02:25.61)
Ren Saionji : Hey, Wakana. (0:02:32.24)
Ren Saionji : Technically, he's half-English, half-Japanese. (0:02:36.71)
Ren Saionji : You shouldn't get your hopes up, anyway. (0:02:40.42)
Ren Saionji : I don't really get cool vibes from England. (0:02:42.64)
Ren Saionji : Get real, Wakana. (0:02:51.13)
Ren Saionji : It's because you go after anyone hot
that you always end up with lame guys.
(0:02:52.98)
Ren Saionji : I can't even imagine love at first sight. (0:02:58.33)
Shun Aiba : Excuse me. I'm Aiba Shun. (0:03:02.17)
Shun Aiba : I came in ninth last year, and, um,
from the moment I first saw you...
(0:03:04.91)
Shun Aiba : A-Anyway, I'm serious! (0:03:11.21)
Shun Aiba : That was fast! (0:03:14.69)
Shun Aiba : W-Wait, just one thing! (0:03:20.42)
Shun Aiba : On the MFG Angels' profile page, (0:03:22.64)
Shun Aiba : you're the only one listed
without any info, right?
(0:03:25.30)
Shun Aiba : Could you at least tell me your name? (0:03:28.02)
Ren Saionji : Looks are basically the same as clothes.
They don't reflect who you really are.
(0:03:40.49)
Ren Saionji : I wanna fall in love with
a guy who I think is super hot,
(0:03:46.32)
Ren Saionji : even if 99% of girls don't
agree with me that he is.
(0:03:50.54)
Ren Saionji : I'm home. (0:03:57.49)
Ren Saionji : Pretty sure I said I was gonna be late today
because of work. I told Mom, at least.
(0:04:03.69)
Kanata Katagiri : It's a pleasure to meet you, Ren-san. (0:04:28.29)
Kanata Katagiri : You can call me Kanata. (0:04:31.52)
Ren Saionji : I-I... (0:04:36.79)
Ren Saionji : Uh, I have math homework, so... (0:04:38.53)
Kanata Katagiri : My mum taught me when I was still young. (0:04:52.43)
Ren Saionji : Crap. (0:05:09.93)
Ren Saionji : I feel like I just got shocked
with a million volts.
(0:05:11.61)
Ren Saionji : Why's my heart still pounding? (0:05:15.28)
Ren Saionji : I'm not supposed to judge
people by appearances.
(0:05:17.42)
Ren Saionji : So... what is this feeling? (0:05:21.48)
Ren Saionji : Wakana. (0:05:31.82)
Ren Saionji : How'd what go? (0:05:34.99)
Ren Saionji : I... don't really know. (0:05:40.32)
Ren Saionji : I didn't take one. (0:05:46.30)
Ren Saionji : He's sticking around for a while,
so just come by and see him.
(0:05:48.34)
Ren Saionji : I dunno. Come to think of it,
I didn't really ask about anything.
(0:05:59.88)
Kanata Katagiri : Is this it? (0:06:10.51)
Kanata Katagiri : Excuse me. (0:06:14.93)
Ogata : Right on time! (0:06:16.11)
Ogata : Uh... Are you Kanata Rivington? (0:06:18.42)
Kanata Katagiri : And you're Ogata-san, yes? (0:06:21.65)
Kanata Katagiri : It's a pleasure. I'm Kanata. (0:06:24.31)
Ogata : Oh, you actually speak
Japanese? That's a relief.
(0:06:26.83)
Ogata : I hear you went to a
famous English racing school?
(0:06:30.24)
Ogata : I thought Saionji-san was joking
when he brought it up.
(0:06:34.00)
Ogata : So I'm sure you're aware, (0:06:39.23)
Ogata : but MFG has a bit of a weird rule
about standardized grip-to-weight ratio.
(0:06:40.76)
Ogata : The strongest cars tend to be
European models with lots of horsepower
(0:06:46.77)
Ogata : and good balance, without a lot of modding. (0:06:50.00)
Ogata : As a result, people complain about the rule,
calling it the "rich man's regulation."
(0:06:52.82)
Ogata : Which is why I'm not able to
provide you with a competitive vehicle,
(0:06:57.33)
Ogata : looking at the big picture
of MFG performance.
(0:07:01.97)
Kanata Katagiri : I've heard. (0:07:04.25)
Kanata Katagiri : But I'll be happy just
getting to experience MFG.
(0:07:06.03)
Ogata : Okay! In that case,
I'll support you in any way I can.
(0:07:10.60)
Ogata : Care to take a look at the car? (0:07:16.65)
Kanata Katagiri : Wow. (0:07:24.00)
Kanata Katagiri : Good. (0:07:27.38)
Kanata Katagiri : It's so cool. (0:07:29.23)
Ogata : You don't have to flatter me.
It's just an old-fashioned three-pedaler.
(0:07:30.48)
Ogata : Can you work with it? (0:07:34.48)
Kanata Katagiri : No problem. (0:07:35.89)
Kanata Katagiri : Back at the academy, H-pattern shifters
with three pedals was the standard.
(0:07:37.60)
Ogata : I've already taken care of your entry. (0:07:41.70)
Ogata : You're running on the seventh
and final day of qualifying.
(0:07:43.92)
Ren Saionji : Huh? (0:07:53.55)
Ren Saionji : What a coincidence. (0:07:55.50)
Kanata Katagiri : Sure seems like it. (0:07:56.85)
Kanata Katagiri : Are you on your way home
from school, Ren-san?
(0:07:58.66)
Ren Saionji : You can drop the "san." (0:08:00.95)
Ren Saionji : For one thing, I'm younger
than you. Just "Ren" is fine.
(0:08:02.39)
Ren Saionji : Where are you coming back from, Kanata? (0:08:07.14)
Kanata Katagiri : I went over to Tokyo to visit
the British embassy in Yotsuya.
(0:08:09.58)
Kanata Katagiri : I also bought a new cell phone. (0:08:14.25)
Ren Saionji : Really? In that case, let's swap contact info. (0:08:16.85)
Ren Saionji : Not, like, in that way... (0:08:21.03)
Ren Saionji : But it means, if you need help at all,
you can get in touch with me right away.
(0:08:22.54)
Kanata Katagiri : Good idea. Hang on a minute. (0:08:26.77)
Kanata Katagiri : You had work yesterday,
right, Ren? What about today?
(0:08:37.50)
Ren Saionji : My job's a little, uh, irregular. (0:08:41.75)
Ren Saionji : It's maybe two or three days a week,
then there's a big gap until the next time.
(0:08:45.74)
Kanata Katagiri : I see. (0:08:49.87)
Ren Saionji : I actually wanted to ask
you something, Kanata.
(0:08:50.96)
Ren Saionji : Could we take a picture together? (0:08:54.70)
Kanata Katagiri : A picture? (0:08:56.68)
Ren Saionji : When I told my friend about you,
she wanted to see what you look like.
(0:08:58.14)
Ren Saionji : Is it okay? (0:09:01.99)
Ren Saionji : Here I go. Smile! (0:09:02.96)
Ren Saionji : That turned out great! Wanna see? (0:09:06.77)
Kanata Katagiri : Photos aren't my thing. (0:09:10.30)
Ren Saionji : What made you want to leave home
and come to Japan, Kanata?
(0:09:13.52)
Kanata Katagiri : I don't mind making an
exception and telling you, Ren.
(0:09:21.11)
Kanata Katagiri : I came to Japan for two reasons. (0:09:25.05)
Kanata Katagiri : Well, really, it's only one. (0:09:27.85)
Ren Saionji : What's that? (0:09:30.73)
Kanata Katagiri : To find my missing father. (0:09:34.35)
Ren Saionji : Your dad? (0:09:37.98)
Ren Saionji : MF Ghost. (0:09:43.47)
Kanata Katagiri : MF Ghost. (0:09:48.48)
Ren Saionji : Good morning, Wakana. (0:09:55.98)
Ren Saionji : I saw that coming. (0:09:58.98)
Ren Saionji : Here. (0:10:03.22)
Ren Saionji : I guess Kanata really is hot? (0:10:10.71)
Ren Saionji : What's this? (0:10:15.21)
Kanata Katagiri : A picture from 20 years ago. (0:10:16.59)
Kanata Katagiri : And the only one I have of my father. (0:10:19.38)
Kanata Katagiri : I love that photo because of how
happy my mother looks in it.
(0:10:22.74)
Kanata Katagiri : It was taken in a town called Kamakura. (0:10:27.99)
Kanata Katagiri : I decided that, if I ever made it to Japan,
I'd find the location in that photo.
(0:10:30.98)
Ren Saionji : Kamakura's pretty close by. I know it. (0:10:37.00)
Ren Saionji : Do you mind if I help you find it, Kanata? (0:10:41.50)
Ren Saionji : It's just a really romantic idea, that's all. (0:10:45.70)
Ren Saionji : I want to help you find this place. (0:10:48.31)
Ren Saionji : What's wrong, Kanata? (0:10:52.73)
Kanata Katagiri : Why are you so kind to me, Ren? (0:10:55.56)
Kanata Katagiri : I don't really know how
to express my gratitude.
(0:10:59.77)
Kanata Katagiri : You and your father have
just been so wonderful.
(0:11:04.84)
Kanata Katagiri : I can't thank you enough. (0:11:08.65)
Kanata Katagiri : Japanese people are amazing. (0:11:11.28)
Yamashita : It's not happening, Aiba-san. (0:11:19.70)
Shun Aiba : Aw, come on. Don't be such a stickler. (0:11:22.28)
Shun Aiba : All I'm asking for is
Number Seven's name and age.
(0:11:24.37)
Shun Aiba : You've posted all kinds of stuff
about the other Angels.
(0:11:27.85)
Yamashita : That kind of personal information
is confidential. No exceptions.
(0:11:31.00)
Shun Aiba : Then, could you at least tell me
which race she's working next?
(0:11:34.89)
Yamashita : Hm, let's see... (0:11:38.39)
Kanata Katagiri : Right. (0:11:44.11)
Shun Aiba : Never seen him before. Is he a rookie? (0:11:46.39)
Shun Aiba : Hey, man. (0:11:52.04)
Shun Aiba : You entering MFG? (0:11:54.33)
Kanata Katagiri : That's right. Who are you? (0:11:56.15)
Shun Aiba : I'm Aiba Shun. I'm ranked
a dizzyingly high ninth.
(0:11:58.17)
Kanata Katagiri : Oh, I know you! Aiba in the Nissan GT-R! (0:12:02.13)
Kanata Katagiri : This is great! It's truly an honor! (0:12:05.87)
Kanata Katagiri : People love your GT-R back in England. (0:12:08.47)
Shun Aiba : England? (0:12:11.63)
Kanata Katagiri : Yes! I arrived from there two days ago. (0:12:12.50)
Kanata Katagiri : I'm Kanata Rivi—Wait, no. (0:12:15.35)
Kanata Katagiri : My name is Katagiri Kanata.
I'm running on the last day of qualifying.
(0:12:17.64)
Shun Aiba : You sure you're gonna be okay?
This is MFG we're talking about.
(0:12:21.95)
Shun Aiba : Well, I guess it's fine.
I bet we met for a reason.
(0:12:25.84)
Shun Aiba : I don't mind taking you
under my wing for a bit.
(0:12:29.18)
Shun Aiba : Listen up, Kanata.
From now on, you call me "Senpai."
(0:12:31.95)
Shun Aiba : We're big sticklers for the beauty of
tradition around here. You follow?
(0:12:35.73)
Kanata Katagiri : Yes, sir, Aiba-senpai! (0:12:39.86)
Shun Aiba : Aw, man. I love how earnest this dude is. (0:12:41.90)
Shun Aiba : Did you eat yet? I'll treat you to a
great Japanese lunch. Follow me.
(0:12:45.57)
Kanata Katagiri : Sir! (0:12:49.59)
Kanata Katagiri : Am I imagining it or is that
Porsche smaller than a regular one?
(0:13:00.46)
Shun Aiba : It's a Cayman. They're about
a size smaller than the 911.
(0:13:04.57)
Shun Aiba : You seriously didn't know that? (0:13:09.26)
Shun Aiba : Beckenbauer's straight out of
Porsche's motorsports program.
(0:13:12.36)
Shun Aiba : He's some kinda super-elite racer. (0:13:15.37)
Shun Aiba : He would probably have been a
Le Mans driver in the good old days.
(0:13:17.85)
Shun Aiba : Oh, great. He's made it to
the top of the leaderboard.
(0:13:22.53)
Shun Aiba : How the hell is he managing these times
with the kind of power a Cayman has?
(0:13:25.85)
Shun Aiba : Go ahead and eat up. (0:13:33.89)
Shun Aiba : Beef bowls are a delicacy. (0:13:35.29)
Kanata Katagiri : Thank you for the food. (0:13:37.08)
Shun Aiba : How old are you anyway, Kanata? (0:13:40.32)
Kanata Katagiri : I'm 19. (0:13:42.88)
Shun Aiba : Damn, that's young. (0:13:44.13)
Shun Aiba : Five years younger than me. (0:13:45.94)
Shun Aiba : Wait, you don't know how to use chopsticks? (0:13:49.65)
Shun Aiba : Hey, miss. Could you bring this guy a spoon? (0:13:52.45)
Kanata Katagiri : Are you around, Ogata-san? (0:14:00.97)
Ogata : Oh, hey, Kanata. (0:14:03.27)
Ogata : What's up? (0:14:05.27)
Kanata Katagiri : I wanted to see if there was
anything I could help you with.
(0:14:06.07)
Ogata : Yeah, sure. I was looking
to take a break, anyway.
(0:14:11.40)
Kanata Katagiri : It's good. (0:14:19.12)
Kanata Katagiri : They don't have snacks anywhere
near as good as this in England.
(0:14:20.63)
Kanata Katagiri : Japan is unbelievable. (0:14:24.16)
Kanata Katagiri : Between this and beef bowls,
it's like everything you guys eat is amazing.
(0:14:26.25)
Ogata : You're exaggerating. (0:14:31.44)
Ogata : I'll admit the snacks here are good, though. (0:14:33.54)
Ogata : To tell you the truth, Kanata,
one of my cars has raced in MFG before.
(0:14:36.05)
Ogata : It hasn't been refitted since,
so it should easily pass the inspection,
(0:14:42.29)
Ogata : and there's no real need
to make big changes.
(0:14:46.76)
Kanata Katagiri : Who was the driver? (0:14:48.70)
Kanata Katagiri : You, Ogata-san? Wow! (0:14:52.03)
Ogata : I guess. Call it a youthful misadventure. (0:14:54.24)
Ogata : I used to race back then, and was
pretty confident about my skills...
(0:14:57.24)
Ogata : But I didn't amount to much. (0:15:01.89)
Ogata : The downhill stretch in
Sector 3 scared me so bad,
(0:15:05.03)
Ogata : by the time I crossed the finish line,
I was heartbroken and exhausted.
(0:15:07.87)
Ogata : What it boils down to is I'm better suited
to tinkering with cars than driving them.
(0:15:12.21)
Ogata : Can't deny how much I love these
old gasoline models, though.
(0:15:17.80)
Ren Saionji : I don't think this is it. (0:15:25.68)
Ren Saionji : The buildings in the background
seem totally different.
(0:15:28.32)
Ren Saionji : I'm pretty sure it was taken on the
grounds of a shrine or a temple...
(0:15:31.32)
Ren Saionji : And wouldn't you know it? Kamakura's
absolutely crawling with spots like that.
(0:15:36.00)
Ren Saionji : We'll have to use process of
elimination to work through them.
(0:15:41.92)
Ren Saionji : Let's stay strong! (0:15:45.82)
Kanata Katagiri : It really does feel strange, being here. (0:15:48.78)
Kanata Katagiri : So much so, it's hard for me
to put it into Japanese.
(0:15:53.32)
Ren Saionji : What do you mean? (0:15:57.18)
Kanata Katagiri : My mother met my father here
when she was still just a teenager.
(0:15:58.94)
Kanata Katagiri : They fell in love,
lived together, then I was born.
(0:16:04.25)
Kanata Katagiri : Being here in Kamakura is unbelievable.
Like something out of a dream.
(0:16:09.89)
Kanata Katagiri : It feels like I've come to
the hometown of my heart.
(0:16:15.60)
Kanata Katagiri : I've wanted to visit
ever since I was small.
(0:16:20.14)
Ren Saionji : Kanata... (0:16:23.40)
Ren Saionji : Hey, Kanata, let's make an offering. (0:16:26.20)
Ren Saionji : He's so earnest. (0:16:38.18)
Ren Saionji : It's adorable. (0:16:40.51)
Kanata Katagiri : What did you wish for, Ren? (0:16:43.53)
Ren Saionji : I'm not saying. (0:16:46.89)
Ren Saionji : If you tell someone else,
the gods might not hear you.
(0:16:48.53)
Ren Saionji : Crap, it's already late! (0:16:58.79)
Ren Saionji : Remember, Mom, I've got work today! (0:17:01.40)
Ren Saionji : I'm off! (0:17:08.70)
Kanata Katagiri : Ren's got work today? (0:17:11.21)
Kanata Katagiri : And I have an event of my own. (0:17:14.46)
Fumihiro Joyu : Hello. This is Joyu
with the Tokyo Main Office.
(0:17:18.69)
Fumihiro Joyu : The Executive Organizer
made a direct request.
(0:17:22.26)
Fumihiro Joyu : There's a name on the entry list
he was hoping to meet.
(0:17:25.57)
Fumihiro Joyu : Kanata Rivington, 19 years old. (0:17:29.00)
Fumihiro Joyu : He's a British citizen. (0:17:32.43)
Fumihiro Joyu : Not there? That's odd. (0:17:36.24)
Fumihiro Joyu : Did the kid Ryosuke mentioned not show up? (0:17:38.90)
Kanata Katagiri : The "Godly Fifteen"? (0:18:25.99)
Ogata : Well, we gotta worry about
qualifying before anything else.
(0:18:27.97)
Ogata : The new set of tires I put on
should last for three races.
(0:18:31.25)
Kanata Katagiri : Ogata-san, I apologize if the tires
are worn out after this race.
(0:18:35.60)
Kanata Katagiri : It's better if I warn you in advance. (0:18:40.32)
Shun Aiba : Shut the hell up, Tanaka. (0:18:59.88)
Shun Aiba : Where do you get off,
creeping on my Number Seven?
(0:19:01.55)
Shun Aiba : Just the sight of her makes my heart hurt.
Number Seven, my darling...
(0:19:07.14)
Kanata Katagiri : Oh, Aiba-senpai! (0:19:11.61)
Ogata : Oh, hey, if it isn't Shun! It's been a while. (0:19:13.77)
Shun Aiba : Is that you, Ogata? (0:19:17.11)
Ogata : What're you doing here?
Didn't you already set a time?
(0:19:18.85)
Shun Aiba : Well, I, uh... (0:19:22.83)
Shun Aiba : I'm here to root for Kanata,
of course. I'm kinda worried.
(0:19:25.05)
Ogata : How do you even know Kanata? (0:19:28.89)
Kanata Katagiri : Aiba-senpai bought me a beef bowl. (0:19:31.89)
Shun Aiba : I ran into him at the office. (0:19:35.14)
Ogata : Wow, that's a hell of a coincidence. (0:19:37.37)
Ogata : Talk about a small world. (0:19:39.67)
Ogata : Anyway, the chitchat will have to wait.
We've only got 10 minutes until the off.
(0:19:41.37)
Ogata : Let's hurry, Kanata. (0:19:45.58)
Shun Aiba : You need any help? Which car is it? (0:19:46.99)
Ogata : The one I used to race in. (0:19:49.56)
Ogata : There it is. (0:19:51.77)
Shun Aiba : Number 86. (0:20:01.05)
Kanata Katagiri : Good. (0:20:07.24)
Shun Aiba : Got a few crucial pieces of info
for you to remember, Kanata.
(0:20:09.17)
Shun Aiba : The most important thing about
qualifying is to finish the lap.
(0:20:13.85)
Shun Aiba : Don't go damaging the car. (0:20:18.16)
Shun Aiba : A lap around Odawara Pikes Peak is 40 km. (0:20:20.65)
Shun Aiba : That makes it the longest MFG course. (0:20:23.53)
Shun Aiba : I've been doing this for a while, and even
I don't have the whole thing memorized.
(0:20:26.40)
Shun Aiba : You scope it out at all
on the official website?
(0:20:31.16)
Kanata Katagiri : I've got the course
layout memorized, Senpai.
(0:20:33.41)
Shun Aiba : No way. How many hundreds
of times did that take?
(0:20:36.30)
Kanata Katagiri : I think... only three? (0:20:38.65)
Shun Aiba : This is no time for jokes, Kanata. (0:20:41.92)
Shun Aiba : Listen up. This thing
doesn't have a ton of power,
