Synopsis

In the final match against the Kanagawa street racing team Sidewinder, Project D street racer Takumi Fujiwara is faced with a surprising challenger: Shinji Inui, a 17-year-old high school student. Beginning to drive at a very young age, Shinji is not only familiar with the mountain pass where the race is taking place, but he also drives a Toyota AE86—the same car model Takumi uses.

Initially reluctant to participate due to a lack of enthusiasm, Shinji becomes motivated after witnessing the fiery battle between Keisuke Takahashi and Gou Houjou. Undefeated in his home course known as the Tsubaki Line, Shinji might prove to be Takumi's most formidable opponent yet.

Mixed Feelings
Over half of this season (4 episodes ~ 1 HOUR) was some Karen trying to justify their whiny teenager's driving style that ironically lacks any, after his balls suddenly dropped looking at some legs. Other than his need to compensate for said lack of technique by ramming other cars out of the way, this was the worst season of Initial D.

Spoiler
Initial D: Final Stage is the finale to the series about street racing that began in the late 90s. Unfortunately, it falls flat in every regard. The series was on a gradual decline beginning with Fourth Stage, as it greatly reduced the personal drama that served as the buildup to the races. The drama made the races interesting to watch because there were real stakes and a reason to be invested. Instead, Fourth Stage focused only on the races themselves, with the only stakes being the continuing undefeated reign of Project D. The follow up to this, Fifth Stage, was even more of an insult, ...
