Itsuki Takeuchi vs Shingo Shoji (Impromptu)

The impromptu battle between Itsuki Takeuchi and Shingo Shoji is an anime exclusive battle in Initial D: First Stage.

Prior to the Battle
While taking Saori home, Itsuki Takeuchi is targeted by Shingo Shoji, who thinks his car is Akina's Eight-Six.

During the Battle
During their run, Itsuki kept grazing his car on the guardrails due to inexperience in mountain racing. After a few corners, Shingo taps Itsuki resulting to both being injured while crashing.

After the Battle
While Itsuki is being hospitalised, Saori leaves Itsuki due to bad memories. ￼This infuriated Takumi and vowed revenge despite Iketani and Kenji heeding him with warnings of Shingo's method of a gumtape deathmatch.
