Howl of the 4A-G (聞け!! 4A-Gの雄叫びを, Kike!! 4A-G no Otakebi wo, "Listen!! The roar of the 4A-G") is the ninth chapter of Initial D.
Plot[]
Itsuki calls the tofu store, and is told by Bunta that Takumi hasn't gotten home yet, much to his annoyance.
On top of Akina the RedSuns finally arrive, and speak with the SpeedStars about how the battle will go down. With all rules settled both teams set off on their downhill runs. The RedSuns show off to the crowds with their impressive skill.
At the tofu store, Bunta sets Takumi up in the Eight-Six, telling him to drive as he always does.
