Takumi Fujiwara vs Takeshi Nakazato

The battle between Takumi Fujiwara and Takeshi Nakazato is the fifth (sixth in the anime) battle of Initial D.

Prior to the Battle
After the race starts, Ryosuke and Keisuke Takahashi chase after the AE86 and GT-R to observe up close.

During the Battle
Nakazato leads, with Takumi following close behind. Takumi attempts to pass from the outside several times, irritating Nakazato. As they approach the finish line, Takumi feints to the outside before a corner, tricking Nakazato into thinking that he will try to pass from the outside again. To his bewilderment, Nakazato realizes that the AE86 is actually overtaking him from the inside. At this point, the race has taken a heavy toll on the GT-R's tires, and it understeers, causing the rear of the car to swing out and hit the guardrail.
