Chapter 137

Breakout Time! (封印が解かれる瞬間(とき), Fūin ga toka reru shunkan (Toki), "The moment the seal breaks") is the one hundred and thirty-seventh chapter of Initial D.

Plot
Takumi is amazed that Wataru can drive so well on such a poor road, and is shocked that he managed to pass him.

At the Fujiwara Tofu Store, Bunta thinks about the new engine, how you have to increase the power one step at a time to keep control of it. He hopes that Takumi doesn't overheat the engine.

Takumi realises that he's suddenly more in control of the car now that he's accelerated. He becomes more confident, but it's dampened by Wataru continuing to follow close behind. Wataru had expected to toy with Takumi, but is surprised by Takumi's speed. However, he doubts that Takumi will be able to beat him.
