Chapter 121

Dawn of the Eight Six Levin Turbo (最強のハチロクレビン!!, Saikyō no Hachiroku Rebin!!, "The Strongest Eight-Six Levin!") is the one hundred and twenty-first chapter of Initial D. This chapter was released in two parts.

Part 1
Takumi does his tofu deliveries on Akina, and then spends some time practicing on the roads.

At the Fujiwara Tofu Store, Bunta asks Takumi why he takes so long on his runs now. Takumi tells him that he can't make the car do the things it used to be able to do despite trying everything he can. Bunta is glad to hear that, and is certain he'll be able to figure it out on his own, and that it'll make him a better driver.

Part 2
Kazumi takes a bus to the gas station to deliver the 10 yen she had borrowed from Itsuki. She asks him when he's available, and the two plan to meet up later. She leaves, and Iketani interrogates Itsuki about her, jealous that he can get a girl before him.

On their walk home, Itsuki asks Takumi about the new engine. Takumi repeats that the engine is less powerful, but says that he's just happy the car is working.

Later that evening, Itsuki picks up Kazumi in his Eight-Five. She's surprised that he's still in high school yet owns his own Levin.
