Official Descriptions[]

English[]

"The battle between Tak and Toshiya "God Arm" Joshima continues when Tak's abilities are truly put to the test in the most epic race of his life! Toshiya's one-handed steering technique has thrown Tak completely off his game as he desperately tries to keep up with the elusive racing veteran. Not even Ry has much confidence that Tak can beat Toshiya. Tak's only salvation may be to use the ditch to pass...but can the Eight Six survive such a dangerous maneuver?"

―Tokyopop^[2]

"The battle between Tak and Shirojima - Purple Shadow's "God Arm" - is not going to be over quickly. While Tak is becoming more and more confused by Shirojima's driving technique, K.T. takes this opportunity to take a nap! At the rate the race is going, it looks like Shirojima will win. Is there any way Tak can overtake him?"

―Kodansha USA^[3]

French[]

"Le battle tant attendu entre Jôshima et Takumi commence. Tous les deux usent de techniques totalement différentes pour terminer la course en tête : Jôshima tente de déconcerter son adversaire avec des trajectoires faussement aléatoires tandis que Takumi, lui, améliore sa capacité d’anticipation des actions de la S2000. Au bout du septième run, Jôshima finit par dépasser Takumi. Mais tout est encore possible…"

Trivia[]

The kanji in Joshima are mistranslated as Shirojima in the Kodansha USA description of this volume. This only happens in the volume description and not in the actual chapters of the story.
