Chapter 116

'''He Shoots! He Scores!' (明暗!!, Meian!!, "Light and Dark!''") is the one hundred and sixteenth chapter of Initial D.

Plot
Kyoichi begins to feel the pressure that Ryosuke is putting on him. Ryosuke thinks that while Kyoichi is better in the slower turns, he has the advantage in the faster turns, and he'll make his move there. He says the reason he hasn't attacked is because he's maintaining his tires until the right moment. Iketani and Kenji see that Ryosuke is still trailing behind the Evo III, and lose hope that he'll win. The two cars approach a corner, and Ryosuke reveals Kyoichi's weakness, right turns. Ryosuke pulls alongside his opponent, and uses his car to block Kyoichi from accelerating effectively out of the turn. He regains the lead, and crosses the finishing line in first place.

At the top of the mountain, Seiji is surprised to hear about Kyoichi's loss. Kenta celebrates the victory, while Keisuke is annoyed by how loud he is.

Kyoichi goes to ask Ryosuke a question.
