Quotes
Takumi: Ryosuke wait! I really don't think I'm faster than anybody.

Ryosuke: You really are a weird kid indeed. I've never met anyone like you before. Whether you believe in your talent or not, the world is a big place. You are the fastest opponent I've ever raced Takumi Fujiwara. See you again sometime.
