Taking the Ditches! (Part Two) (落とし穴側溝を攻略せよ!! (後編), Otoshiana Sokkō wo Kōryaku Seyo!! (Kōhen), "Go Seize That Lidless Gutter!! (Continued)") is the two hundred and first chapter of Initial D.
Plot[]
Ryosuke tells Fumihiro that there is a method to skip over the lidless gutters alongside the course, by using a technique opposite to the one Takumi would have used on Akina.
Toru is amazed that Takumi can keep up with him, and looks forward to racing behind him, just to see how he's managing to outperform him. The pair head into a corner, and while Toru takes the inside to avoid the outer gutter, Takumi takes the outside, setting himself to be on the inside for the next turn. Toru blocks Takumi, but Takumi uses weight shifting techniques to hover his front right wheel over the gutter, giving him enough room to maneuver past Toru, leaving him baffled as to how he had managed it.
Ryosuke explains that when cornering at high speeds, you can easily shift your weight to your outside two tires, and using that you can hover your wheel above the ditch.
Toru can't believe that Takumi overtook him, and begs him to do the same trick in the upcoming corner.
