Chapter 013

Tak's Special Finishing Move (決着!!拓海の得意技, Ketchaku!! Takumi no Tokui Waza, "Conclusion! Takumi's Signature Move") is the thirteenth chapter of Initial D.

Plot
The two cars speed into the five hairpins, and Keisuke can't believe that the Eight-Six is still close behind him. Takumi is able to close the gap with each subsequent turn. Takumi takes the inside line going into the third hairpin, hooking his tires into the gutter and overtaking Keisuke. The crowd is shocked, and the lookouts are unable to describe what happened to the RedSuns at the start line. Takeshi Nakazato realises how Takumi did it, and says he'll be the one to beat him on the downhill.

At the top of the mountain, the SpeedStars celebrate their victory. Ryosuke accepts the loss, and vows to win on Akina himself.

Several hours later, Keisuke shows Ryosuke where Takumi had overtaken him. Ryosuke quickly realises how he had won.
