Impact Blue vs Satake

The battle between Impact Blue and Satake is an extra battle featured in Volume 48 of the manga and in Initial D: Extra Stage. It is canonically the 15th battle of Initial D.

Prior to the Battle
Two members of Team Emperor went to Usui Pass to scout the area. When Impact Blue arrived, Satake wanted to battle the two, but Ren Nogami thought this wasn't such a good idea, because they only came here to look at the area. Impact Blue accepts the battle and starts by leading.

During the Battle
At the C=121 hairpin, Satake understeers due to his tires losing grip, making him crash into the guardrail.

After the Battle
Shingo Shoji and Takeshi Nakazato arrive too late, when Sayuki tells them they've won the battle, which surprised them. Satake tells Ren not to tell Kyoichi about this battle.
