Pressure (プレッシャー, Puresshā, "Pressure") is the three hundred and sixty-ninth chapter of Initial D.
Plot[]
Hoshino compliments Keisuke on his looks, and imagines he must be popular with women. He says that as an older man it's hard to get with a woman, and that he should take advantage of his youth while he has it, which leaves Keisuke bewildered. Hoshino goes to walk away, before realising he hadn't said what he had intended to. He proposes that they make their race more interesting, by not just racing uphill, but back downhill too. Keisuke accepts the proposition.
Ryosuke is fine with the proposal, but notes that its an odd one. He comments that it seems like Hoshino is giving him an advantage.
Takumi and Keisuke take their practice runs.
The first night of practice draws to a close, and Keisuke and Takumi both feel nervous for their upcoming battles. Fumihiro tells them that the team has set them up in a local inn, as they want them to be properly rested for the races. Takumi tries to decline, but Ryosuke tells him it is an order, as they won't sleep well in their cars in the heat.
