Chapter 568

Zero's Defeat (ゼロの敗北, Zero no Haiboku, "Zero's Defeat") is the five hundred and sixty-eighth chapter of Initial D.

Plot

With Keisuke exiting the fog in the lead, Ikeda concedes defeat, admitting that he underestimated both Keisuke and Project D.

At the finish line Keisuke thanks Kenta for his help. Ryosuke congratulates Keisuke on his victory, though Keisuke wonders how he would have won without knowing there was no traffic.

Ikeda tells Junichi about how stressful the race was. Junichi doesn't think the race was fair, and suggests he request a rematch. Ikeda disagrees, saying that the race had been a once-in-a-lifetime experience for him.
