Fifth Stage - Act 7

Zero Hearts is the seventh Act of Initial D: Fifth Stage.

This episode features the first half of the battle between Keisuke Takahashi and Ryuji Ikeda.

Synopsis
Keisuke's next opponent in Kanagawa's Four Lines of Defense is the leader of Team Spiral, Ryuji "Zero" Ikeda. Ikeda believes in his "Zero Theory", where the driver thinks of nothing except being one with the car to create the ultimate racer. Quite similar to Ryosuke's Fastest Racer Theory, Ryosuke also notices a few flaws in Ikeda's theory. A flaw that would arise as the wet conditions create a fog battle.
