Chapter 124

Close Shave for the FD!! (FD危機一髪!!, FD Kiki Ippatsu!!, "Close Call for the FD!!") is the one hundred and twenty-fourth chapter of Initial D.

Plot
Keisuke is impressed by the Eight-Six's performance on the uphill section, but intends to lose him in the upcoming section.

In Ikaho, Itsuki asks Kazumi about her job, and she says that she hasn't got much of an opinion. She tells him that she likes everyone at her job, but that none of them are her own age. She says she'd probably have left for Saitama already if she hadn't met Itsuki.

The two drivers continue down the mountain, and Keisuke says that he's annoyed with Eight-Sixes, as he can never seem to lose them. A little further down the course, Tsukamoto has crashed his 180SX into guardrail. His friend tells him he should move it, as he could be hit by another racer. He goes to setup a warning triangle, when Keisuke and Wataru speed around the corner.
