Keisuke Takahashi (RX-7) vs Takumi Fujiwara (Trueno), the first battle of the series.First StageThe story begins when street racers called the RedSuns come to challenge Mt. Akina's local team, the SpeedStars, to a "friendly" race. After watching how skilled the RedSuns are determined not to be humiliated on their home turf. However, the SpeedStars are left in a bind when their driver had an accident during a practice run. They were desperate for a replacement until Iketani learns from his office manager that the fastest car in Akina's downhill is an AE86 owned by a tofu store owner. He discovers that the store's owner, Bunta Fujiwara, was a street racer of great repute in his younger days, known as the "Ghost of Akina" . Iketani appeals to the older man to take his place in the race against the RedSuns. When the race day comes, Bunta's son Takumi appears with his Trueno instead. Takumi proceeds to defeat Keisuke Takahashi and puts an end to the Red Sun's winning streak. Despite being originally apathetic about the notion of racing, Takumi begins to grow more interested as he receives other challenges, and begins to understand the concept of a street racer's pride. He then proceeds to defeat drivers in more advanced and more powerful cars. He defeats them in all sorts of conditions culminating in the battle between him and Ryosuke Takahashi.After the race ends Ryosuke acknowledges Takumi is the better driver.

 

Second StageAn all Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution team from neighboring Tochigi Prefecture, called Team Emperor, appears in the Gunma area. Their leader,Kyoichi Sudo, challenges Takumi to a race. This race saw Takumi's Eight-Six blow its engine.After this Sudo challenges Ryosuke who proceeds to defeat Kyouichi after noticing and exploiting Kyouichi's inability to tackle some right-hand corners with full confidence, due to the risk of a head-on collision. This proved once and for all to Kyoichi that street-racing had its own special requirements just as Ryosuke had believed.

 

Meanwhile, Bunta knew that the engine in the Eight-Six was about to give out. In fact, one of Bunta's "secret" tasks for Takumi was "to lose." In anticipation, he had already bought a new engine, Group A 4A-GE 20 valve. Bunta installs the engine without a new tachometer to teach Takumi the importance of learning mechanical knowledge and understanding why the car behaves as it does, though he has an instrument set ready for installation once Takumi knows of it.

 

Once Takumi unsealed the power of his new engine, Wataru challenges him to a race anywhere of Takumi's choosing. Choosing Wataru's home course, the treacherous Shomaru pass, Takumi went on to race Wataru despite the risks. Wataru, who knew the course well, was absolutely sure that Shomaru pass was a test of endurance and that it was not a course where overtaking was possible. Takumi eventually overtook the clearly shocked Levin driver and won the battle.

 

Extra StageCapitalizing on the popularity of the all-female street racing team known as Impact Blue which appeared in First Stage, this OVA focuses on Impact Blue's dynamic duo of Mako and Sayuki rather than Takumi and the usual main cast.

 

As Extra Stage begins, Mako is battling emotional wounds from what she thinks was a rejection by Iketani, while Sayuki's childhood friend Shingo (of the Myogi Night Kids) and his teammate Nakazato arrive to warn them about Team Emperor, which defeated the Night Kids on their home course just as they have so many other street racing teams from around the region.Mako and Sayuki eventually win the race. The Night Kids leaders were startled to know this, thinking they raced against the top Emperor drivers whereas they only defeated an off-beat member.

 

Though Mako decides she does not need a man in her life for a while, she gradually develops a relationship with a friend of Shingo's named Miyahara after Shingo and Sayuki discreetly play matchmaker.

 

However, after Mako takes him on a drive on an unknown pass, that was home to the mountain snow resort they were vacationing at, he finally understands why she will not give up racing and realizes that she is in love with another man, Iketani.

 

Third StageBy this time Ryosuke approaches Takumi with an offer. Ryosuke has been putting together a racing team featuring the best racers of the Gunma prefecture, and would like Takumi to join. Takumi doesn't want to decide whether or not to accept the proposal until he settles his score with Team Emperor leader Sudou Kyouichi, who had looked down on the AE86 because of the car's age and had seriously damaged Takumi's confidence in the AE86 after being defeated by him. Takumi proceeds to Irohazaka pass to challenge Kyouichi. Kyouichi had chosen to let Takumi lead; if Takumi prevents Kyouichi from passing him, he wins, if Kyouichi passes him, he loses. Takumi notes how the match is unfair, but this is quickly dismissed by Kyouichi. In the end, Takumi is able to prevent Kyouichi from passing. Kyouichi, who takes great pride in his knowledge and ability to race on his home course, concedes defeat and also gave praise to the new AE86, although Takumi still believes it was more of a tie and was more concerned about Kyouichi finally acknowledging the abilities of the AE86.

 

Kai Kogashiwa, the son of Bunta's old rival Ken, driving a Toyota MR2 (SW20) later challenges Takumi upon knowing he beat his original target, Kyoichi. He and his father planned to beat Takumi by using a line strategy his father had devised and used against Bunta: the In-Air hairpin jump on the 33rd, 36th, 37th, 38th, and 39th hairpins of Irohazaka. Bunta, knowing how Kogashiwa has used the special line factor before, predicted to Takumi that Kai would surely be in front by the later half of the race and proceeds to give Takumi some obscure advice on how to beat Kai. Kyouichi, who had been with Iwaki Seiji , Keisuke, and Takahashi Ryouske, had predicted as well that Kai would use the technique and explains how he himself could not come to use the strategy due to his pride in his skills alone without need for strategy. Kai, upon realizing that he cannot win in a straight-forward clash of skill, uses the line strategy to overtake and further distance himself from Takumi. Takumi then finds it in himself to try this technique and masters it at the first try, finding himself catching up to Kai. At the last moment before they reach the finish Takumi realizes the meaning behind the advice given earlier by Bunta when he notices dead leaves piling up on one side of the road. Takumi proceeds puts his car past the shrubs and into the gutter to sling shot side-by-side forcing Kai to the side of the road where Takumi guesses the leaves would pile up on. Bunta, while talking to Yuichi, has predicted that Takumi had a 50% chance of passing Kai. As they pass the bridge side-by-side airborne, the 50% chance presents itself as Kai had landed on the side of the road where the leaves had piled up, resulting in him losing control and spinning out right before the goal.

 

This stage also saw the appearance of Miki, a former student at the same high school Takumi attended who Takumi once punched over Miki's bragging about his sexual exploits with Natsuki (seen in a flashback from 1st Stage). It was Christmas season, and Natsuki surprises Takumi at his house, and celebrates Christmas with him and Bunta. On New Year's Day, Miki takes Natsuki under duress, even attempting to rape her near Lake Akina. But Takumi, after hearing a few words of a call from Natsuki which was cut short, came to the rescue.

 

As spring comes, Takumi tells Ryosuke that he wants to request another battle with him, this time on Mt. Akagi, before making his decision regarding the team. It is unclear who actually wins the race, but during the race Keisuke reveals to the other members of the Red Suns that the race is not really about who wins or loses. As they approach the finish, side by side, Takumi decides that it is his desire to remain with Ryosuke and join the team.

 

Battle StageInitial D Battle Stage (special) summarizes the major street races from the two TV series. Rather than simply using clips from the TV series, the new special entirely re-animated all of the original CG car and background footage with new computer graphics rendering. The special also features a battle between the yellow FD3S of Keisuke against the white Evo 4 of Seiji. Music is from an entirely new Super Eurobeat songs and guest commentary from legendary "Drift King" Keiichi Tsuchiya.

 

Fourth StageThis series focuses on the exploits of the new team founded by Ryosuke, Project.D, which is composed of Ryosuke (leader and strategist), downhill specialist Takumi, uphill specialist Keisuke, and a staff consisting primarily of members of the Akagi Red Suns. The team travels the region, challenging other teams and posting the results of the battles on their website. Each race is intended by Ryosuke to develop a specific area of his drivers' skills. By this time, Takumi matures slowly into a more confident and knowledgeable street racer, while Keisuke improves on his technical driving skills. Takumi instinctively develops many new techniques through his own ingenuity after some prompting by Ryosuke, such as passing with his headlights off so that his opponent is unable to see him coming and block him, and using weight shifting to execute maneuvers similar to the gutter-hook technique on Akina. Ryosuke also formed the team because in a few months he is headed for medical school, and this is his last chance in a long time to indulge in street racing. Takumi, on the other hand, contends with the "Four-Wheel Drive Complex" when he was overtaken by a Subaru Impreza WRX, an AWD car, on one of his delivery runs. It is later revealed that his father was driving the car. Bunta then allowed Takumi to deliver Tofu, as well as practice in the WRX (alternating with the Trueno) to improve his skills as a driver and to get a feel of what modern cars can do.

 

Project.D's opponents grew tougher and tougher, as well as more deceitful and threatening. They defeated local racing teams (like the Seven Star Leaf), students of the Todo-juku racing school (including a professional driver who is a graduate of the school), the combined forces of the Northern Saitama Alliance (who even used a Suzuki Cappuccino kei-car), thugs in Lan Evos, and the "Godfoot" and "Godhand" tandem of Team Purple Shadow. In the shadows, Wataru Akiyama watches Takumi from a distance and looks for weaknesses, but this ceased when Project.D conquered Saitama, so he began giving Takumi a few pointers, especially with the 4WD problem. There are also glimmers of romance, like Kyoko Iwase, Keisuke's fellow Mazda RX-7 FD driver and uphill ace racing for the Northern Saitama Alliance, falling in love with him, even lending her precious car to Keisuke—but, although he likes her, he rejected her, deciding to focus more on driving.

 

Takumi also learned a lot, including the theory of infinite lines and Joushima (the "Godhand" of Team Purple Shadow) teaching him the theory of one handed driving. Though he doubted that Takumi would start driving with one hand, he did believe he would master using the infinite lines to his advantage in future races. Hoshino, the "Godfoot" of Purple Shadow, offered his racing connections to Keisuke, who refused, saying he has still got a lot to do in street racing.

 

The anime series ends at the Fourth Stage. However, the manga continues to be published up to the present day in Japanese, although not all of it has been translated into English. Fans of the anime series can follow what happens after the Fourth Stage, in the English manga version which picks up at Vol. 32, Chapter 424 (and a few panels prior), which features the appearance of a duo impersonating Takumi and Keisuke.

 

Battle Stage 2Initial D Battle Stage 2 summarizes the major street races from the recent Fourth Stage TV series. While the first Battle Stage had every battle re-animated from scratch, the only episodes altered in the second version were the early races in stage 4, to match with the visual style of the latter portion of Stage 4. Additionally, two races that were previously seen only in the manga were animated specially for the feature. The first race is Takahashi Keisuke vs. Atsuro Kawai's Nissan Skyline 25GT Turbo (ER34), and the other is Keisuke vs. Smiley Sakai's Honda Integra DC2. Both races are noticeably shorter than the other races in the feature.

 

Battle Stage 2 was released on DVD on May 30, 2007. The official soundtrack to Battle Stage 2, featuring 24 Eurobeat songs that played during the feature, was released on September 5, 2007. To be clear, the Battle Stages DVDs only feature reruns of important races, they do not feature new stories.

 

Extra Stage 2Extra Stage 2 provides a closure on the relationship between Iketani and Mako. This story took place during the time Project D battled the Toudo school. Iketani finally met up with Mako Sato and apologized for not being able to meet her 6 months ago. Mako told Iketani she had something to tell him and asked him to meet her again. Iketani was excited that Mako gave him a second chance and arrived 2 hours early this time. However, an old man who was abandoned by his tour bus asked Iketani to drive him back to his hotel. Being a good person, Iketani agreed to help the old man but did not realize how far away the hotel was. Because of the old man, the cursed Iketani ended up being late again for the date with Mako. Worse, while racing back to meet Mako, Iketani hit the tire's shoulder on a jagged rock and got a flat tire. He had even forgotten to put a spare tire in his trunk. He tried to call Mako but his cellphone battery went dead. Iketani was at his wit's end. He began running the lonely mountain highway, determined to meet Mako. Eventually, Mako met up with him. Iketani was still too shy to tell Mako his true feelings for her, despite the fact that he had prevoiusly vowed to do so. Disappointed, Mako told him that she was leaving for Tokyo for a one-year professional racing season sponsored by a publishing company and her experience will be published on a magazine. Iketani was happy for her. Unlike her prior boyfriend, he encouraged her to keep racing and to take advantage of the sponsorship. Mako also discussed her situation with her teammate Sayuki, who encouraged her but was sad to disband Impact Blue. Mako confessed that if Iketani had not encouraged her, she would not have had the guts to take up the Tokyo opportunity. Iketani told Kenji what happened and said he wanted to sacrifice himself so that Mako could pursue her career goal in Tokyo. Iketani went back to Akina to focus instead on improving his driving skills. Mako and Sayuki race for the final time as Impact Blue.
