Takumi's Full-Throttle Drive (拓海の全開ドライブ, Takumi no Zenkai Doraibu, "Takumi's Full-Throttle Driving") is the twenty-second chapter of Initial D.
Plot[]
On Akina, Nakazato is surprised to see how young Takumi is. The two racers greet each other, and prepare to race.
Yuichi tells Bunta that he should have told Takumi about the changes he'd made to the Eight-Six, but Bunta says it wouldn't have helped, as Takumi is an instinctual driver. He'll feel the change, but will still drive as he always does.
The race begins, and the audience are surprised when Ryosuke begins following the two cars. Nakazato doesn't immediately pull away from the Eight-Six, wanting a battle in the corners. The FC follows the two cars through the corners, and Ryosuke notes how good Takumi's drifting is, saying he controls the car like an extension of his own body, something that he can't even do. Keisuke comments that Nakazato is beginning to pull away.
