The Craftsman vs The Athlete (職人vs.アスリート, Shokunin vs. Asurīto, "Artisan vs Athlete") is the five hundred and sixth chapter of Initial D.
Plot[]
Takumi and Kai speed through the corners. The onlookers are surprised by how close Kai is getting to the walls.
Go asks Kubo for his take on Kai as a racer, but he thinks professional races are more about the car than the driver, so it's nothing like racing on the passes. Kubo explains that modern racing is all powered by analytic computers, which prevents drivers from feeling as unique as they used to. Go finds Kubo's take ironic, as it used to be his job to manage the drivers.
