Ok, it seems Hiro’s made up his mind. He’s going to take on America!





: My 2000GT lost?


: Is that foreigner really that fast?


: Yeah, it looks like he was easily in the 9 second range.



Hey this seems canonically correct. Even at our fastest in Zero 4 Champ 1, we didn’t break the 10 second barrier. (At least, without Kino’s Jet boost)


: Maybe in my car too. I don't think they were even worth fighting with.


: So there was a guy like that...So what are you going to do?


: Surely there's no way they're just going to let it go?


: Of course! I'm going to America and I'm going to beat him. I'll get on the ferry and go there right away.



Right away?! Boy, this guy is committed! This is why he’s the number one in Japan.

Though let’s be honest, this move might help get a few Yakuza loansharks off his back…


: You're stupid, it's not that easy. It's hard to ship a car to America. It will take at least a month



:actually:…Try 25 years.

Fun fact, for us JDM enthusiasts who import cars from Japan - newer Japanese cars are cheaper to buy on Japanese auction sites than 25+ year old ones, because anything older and you’re bidding against burgers for them.


: The quickest solution is to sell your current car. Buying a car in America!


: Yeah, maybe that's better. It wouldn't work with today's cars.



You know, maybe Hiro does know something about the 25 year old export law… Though, he clearly knows nothing about all those other laws, the ones involving visas, immigration, you know, all these other things he probably needs to consider when moving overseas.


: Mr. Gunn, can you sell me my car?


: Leave it to me. I'll get a used car dealer I know to buy it at a high price. It'll be around 5 million.


: After all, it's the best car in Japan for zero to 400m.



Gah. Why didn't you do that for us last game, Gan-San? It could have saved me a shitload of grinding.


: When I go to America, I go to my aunt's house. I recommend you go. I'll give you a room to sleep in.



… Well that's handy. I don't think Hiro's even thought that far ahead.


: Then in the US, if you want to challenge someone, call this number and we'll set it up.



You’ll… arrange American street races… from Japan?


: Wow, that's a long phone number. As expected from America.


: Thank you so much Asami!



Alright, it’s time for Hiro to go to Japan!

…Hrm... wait, aren’t we forgetting something?
