A Dangerous Downhill (危険なダウンヒル, Kiken na Daunhiru, "Dangerous Downhill") is the five hundred and sixty-ninth chapter of Initial D.
Plot[]
Ikeda tells Junichi that he respects the outcome of the race. He thinks that being unable to account for the weather is a flaw in his Zero Theory, and decides he must move forward with it.
Hiroya Okuyama prepares for the downhill. He decides to follow, not wishing to make the same mistake Ikeda had.
Kubo is impressed with how dramatic the hillclimb had turned out, though he pities the onlookers, who are unable to see any of it. He thinks the downhill will be even more interesting.
Project D prepare the Eight-Six for the downhill. Ryosuke advises Takumi to not go out immediately, but to pace himself. He tells him not to let Okuyama make it past the first third, and to end the battle before then.
