Chapter 122

Day of the Eight Six Levin Turbo (最強のハチロクレビン!!(本当の後編), Saikyō no Hachiroku Rebin!! (Hontō no Kōhen), "The Strongest Eight-Six Levin! (Conclusion)") is the one hundred and twenty-second chapter of Initial D.

Plot
At Lake Akina, Itsuki asks Kazumi how old she is, and she says she's a year older than him. She says to Itsuki that her brother's Levin is odd, and Itsuki tells her it's because it has a turbo. He wonders what it's horsepower is, and she tells him it makes 280PS. She talks about Wataru for a bit, saying that he thinks he's the fastest driver in north-western Saitama.

In Saitama, Wataru visits his street racing friends. They jokingly say that he should bring Kazumi round again, and he calls them perverts, before telling them that she's in Gunma. Wataru tells them that he doesn't want to stop racing, and that he thinks he'll find what he's looking for in Gunma.

Kazumi asks Itsuki what his dream is, and he says that he wants to be as good a driver as Takumi, possibly even to beat him, if possible. Kazumi thinks its a nice dream, but hesitates about telling her own. She suggests the two of them go and get ramen.

The next day, Itsuki tells Takumi about everything that had happened. He says that he can't get her out of his mind, and Takumi tells him that he's just in love, and says that he's jealous. Itsuki is surprised, and says that Takumi has Natsuki, which throws him off.

That evening on Akagi, Wataru speeds uphill, shocking the locals. At the summit, he meets Keisuke Takahashi.
