* In Episode 16 of Fourth Stage, Keisuke faces off against the Tsuchisaka Lan Evo hillclimber, who spilled the oil in the first place that resulted in him getting into an "accident" and making him unable to race or practice either. And because of that he decides to borrow Kyoko's FD that arrived the same day when the battle was settled. Even with the two handicaps that Takumi mentioned, one that he's using a car that he's never driven before, and second he never fully practiced the Tsuchisaka pass. But even with those two handicaps Keisuke manages to win against Lan Evo by passing him after they went side by side which leads him into a [[VillainousBreakdown Villainous Breakdown]] for driving so recklessly because of the pass earlier. But Keisuke pointed that two cars can go side by side with the barricade in the straight and leads him to be humiliated because of his defeat.
* In Episode 17 of Fourth Stage, Takumi faces off against the Tsuchisaka Lan Evo downhiller, who threatens to call thugs to beat up the rest of D if Takumi doesn't throw the race. Takumi spends about half the race behind him before figuring out that the guy's braking technique is trash, and manages to pass him [[HoistByHisOwnPetard partly thanks to the oil slick his team used to sabotage D.]] Takumi's opponent and Kenta both suppose that Takumi will have a hard time maintaining the lead in the high-speed section of the course. Cue Ryosuke correcting them. Cue Awesome Music. Cue slow motion as Takumi demonstrates his demonic braking technique, utterly destroying the Lan Evo in two corners.
* The conclusion of Project D's battle against Tsuchisaka Lan Evo Team. When the ''UsefulNotes/{{Bosozoku}}'' gang arrived at Tsuchisaka, siced on Project D after Tsuchisaka Lan Evo Team's defeat, Keisuke came to meet and face the gang by himself since he's also a former [[JapaneseDelinquent delinquent]]. But at that point, it was revealed that the ''Bosozoku'''s gang leader and members are Keisuke's former subordinates, and they came from the same prefecture as Project D. Needless to say, the current gang leader was not amused at being made to look bad in front of his former boss, [[TooDumbToLive which lead to the Tsuchisaka Lan Evo Team to get beaten instead]].
* Keisuke's race against Kozo "God Foot" Hoshino in Fourth Stage. After Kozo passing Keisuke on pylon at second round of the battle into downhill battle. Both of them start to drifting together. Which is impossible for GT-R to do so because of ATTESA ET-S system that denied any oversteer and understeer. And after both Keisuke and Kozo went drifting at many several corners causing Hoshino's GT-R to losing traction of his front tire and the car went understeer even more because the tires are more suffering. Near the goal line Hoshino drifts too far because of his tires, allowing Keisuke to attempt to pass him on the outside. Although Hoshino's weaker tyres made him bump Keisuke slightly, the FD pulled out in front and finished the second round and completely turning his table at second round.
* Takumi's race against Toshiya "God Arm" Joushima in Fourth Stage. After Joushima has spent the entire race (seven rounds of the downhill) psyching out Takumi by taking different lines while still pushing him to his limits, Takumi turns it around on him thanks to a bit of advice from Ryousuke. Takumi pulls out both of his signature moves, using the gutter drop technique to keep up, followed by turning off his headlights to overtake. This psyches out Joushima so much that he puts both hands on the wheel for the first time in the whole race [[note]]Joushima's one-handed driving is a sign of his complete confidence in his victory, and a driver who's confidence has been shaken will instinctively grab the wheel with both hands[[/note]], shattering the utter confidence he's had the entire race and completely turning the tables on him.

* In Episode 8 of Fifth Stage, Keisuke passes Ikeda during a thick fog on Hakone, which forces both of them to drive blind. Keisuke, using his own training, fighting spirit, and a call from Kenta (he does not pick the phone up but this affirms him that the oncoming lane is empty), defeats Ikeda and his Zero Theory when he hesitates in the face of imminent danger (i.e oncoming traffic), at the same time exposing the weakness of the Zero Theory (it works less well in dangerous environments like street racing).

At this point, Shinigami can't say anything.
* In finale episodes of Fifth Stage, Keisuke pulled away from Go Hojo by disappearing at every corner with a similar technique to Fujiwara Zone after he save the tires from first round into full throttle mode. Because of that, Go attempts to follow, causing his tires to wear out rapidly and causes a spin-out when he goes overboard. Which settles Keisuke's victory over Kanto's fastest hillclimb driver.

* In Third Stage, Takumi chases [[spoiler: Natsuki's [[PsychoExGirlfriend Psycho Ex-Boyfriend]] ]] up Mount Akina. He's in a 4WD Celica Turbo, Takumi's in his RWD 86, and it's snowing heavily, so naturally Takumi sticks to the guy's bumper like glue until his sheer driving technique scares [[spoiler:Natsuki's ex]] into spinning out before pretty much passing out at the wheel. Since we watch the entire thing from the latter's point of view, also doubles as a [[MookHorrorShow Mook Horror Show]].

* In Episode 17 of Fourth Stage, Takumi faces off against the Tsuchisaka Lan Evo downhiller, who threatens to call thugs to beat up the rest of D if Takumi doesn't throw the race. Takumi spends about half the race behind him before figuring out that the guy's braking technique is trash, and manages to pass him partly thanks to the oil slick his team used to sabotage D. Takumi's opponent and Kenta both suppose that Takumi will have a hard time maintaining the lead in the high-speed section of the course. Cue Ryosuke correcting them. Cue Awesome Music. Cue slow motion as Takumi demonstrates his demonic braking technique, utterly destroying the Lan Evo in two corners.

* In ''Extra Stage'', an unnamed Team Emperor driver declares that he's going to defeat Mako and Sayuki, with his rationale basically being [[HeManWomanHater "they'll lose, because they're women."]] Not only is the Impact Blue duo not pleased about this, they then prove him wrong by outmaneuvering him on Usui's C-121 corner, where he suffers an understeer-induced crash that puts him in such deep shame that he begs his teammates to not tell Kyouichi about it.
