Synopsis
New challenges are popping up on Akina: Takumi is shocked when an unfamiliar car passes him with ease, and Iketani takes on a cocky circuit driver from Tokyo.

Plot
The episode opens with Takumi Fujiwara going back home after a delivery run. He begins to reflect on his previous race against Tomoyuki Tachi and realizes a flash of light on his rearview mirror. Realizing that it's fast, the car turns out to be a mysterious racer driving a Subaru Impreza. Choosing to either make way for the car or pick up the pace, he decides to challenge the mysterious racer to a duel since he's on Akina. Trying to shake off its attacks, Takumi begins to realize that the mysterious driver is the "talented racer of Akina." Still being threatened, he decides to do the Gutter Run to shake him off once more. However, Takumi realizes that the Impreza is doing the same as well. As both cars exit the gutter run, the Impreza, being more superior to the AE86, overtakes Takumi. Impressed by the cars' techniques, he realizes that he still can't deal with the vehicle even if he used his signature technique and that there is no way he can beat it. Later, Takumi arrives home to find Bunta, only to realize that he's gone.

The next day, Takumi arrives at the gas station to meet Iketani and Kenji. Wondering where Itsuki is, the duo tell him that he left work early to get his Eight-Five from the repair shop.
