Opening sequence
The opening starts with a shot of Irohazaka. As the song begins to play, it begins to feature Takumi's AE86 driving through the pass. It later cuts through a re-enactment of different battles from the series such as Keisuke's race with Kyoko, Takumi's race with Sakamoto, as well as Takumi's race with Kai Kogashiwa. It finally cuts through Takumi's race with Kyoichi Sudo, with the former beating him at the end of the 3rd bridge.
