Something In Common (Part 2) (共通点 (後編), Kyōtsūten (Kōhen), "Commonality (Continued)") is the six hundred and thirty-first chapter of Initial D.

Plot

At the point where the road splits in two, Kozo Hoshino and Toshiya Joshima spectate the race. Joshima says that the reason the NSX is such a tough opponent is due to its Mid-Engine layout, which gives fast cornering, and its Natural Aspirated engine, which gives more speed out of curves. He thinks that on a course with a lot of tight corners, such as the Tsubaki Line, it would be at a significant advantage. Hoshino comments that Keisuke hasn't faced a naturally aspirated car with Project D so far, and Joshima says he'll have a hard time dealing with it, as Honda's NAs can't be beaten. Joshima is intrigued to see how Project D's theory will deal with such a challenge.

Localization Differences

Kodansha USA (2019) version

• Hoshino says that all of Keisuke's previous opponents have been supercharged, however only one of his opponents (Wataru Akiyama) drove a supercharged car. This line is mistranslated, as he is saying Keisuke's opponents have all had forced induction (Supercharged or Turbocharged) in the Japanese.
