Naturals (天然素材, Tennen Sozai, "Natural Material") is the five hundred and fiftieth chapter of Initial D.
Plot[]
Takumi and Keisuke take their practice runs.
Ikeda asks Spiral member Junichi Sakamoto what he thinks of Project D, and he responds that they seem more professional than some actual pros. Ikeda hopes this race will be his opportunity to prove his "Zero Theory", where the driver races with no emotion, focusing purely on their driving.
Kubo tells Go that it is supposed to rain the next morning. Go imagines that might give Spiral an advantage due to their familiarity with the course, but Kubo comments that their strategy hinges on their cars being better. Kubo thinks Takumi may struggle against Okuyama if the roads are dry, but they would be even if the roads are wet. He calls Takumi a natural, and is interested to see how he would do against another natural. Go thinks their driver for the final race is just the natural they need.
