Chapter 604

Closure (終結, Shūketsu, "Conclusion") is the six hundred and fourth chapter of Initial D.

Plot
As Ryosuke Takahashi and Ryuji Ikeda desperately brake in order to slow down Rin Hojo, they hit a traffic cone and send it flying towards the toll booth in front of them. The three cars come to a halt. Ikeda and Ryosuke step out of their cars and exchange a high five. The two look towards Hojo's GT-R, where he is silently weeping.

Meanwhile, Shuichi Matsumoto is seen at the Daikanzan Observation Deck waiting patiently for Ryosuke to return.

Rin tells Ryosuke that Kaori was there, and Ryosuke tells him that he sensed her too, as when they had approached the toll booth his car has inexplicably filled with the smell of the perfume that she used to wear. He says that they must have experienced a miracle, and suggests maybe Kaori herself had saved Rin, as it is the second anniversary of her death. Rin rebuffs him, reminding him that if things had been different then he would be dead because of his actions. Ryosuke tells Rin that he doesn't know what he's talking about, as he felt both of them were just racing with their own rules, and that Rin could've killed him easily if he actually wanted to. He says that they're both standing there because they gave it their all. He continues, telling Rin that he's glad that his last street race could be with him, the man who taught him the joy of racing on the mountains.
