help Initial D Battle Stage 2 FAQ
Does Initial D Battle Stage 2 contain a new story?
It is primarily a compilation of races from Initial D Fourth Stage, with most connective drama removed. Its main new material is two Keisuke Takahashi races that Fourth Stage did not animate.
Which missing races are added in Battle Stage 2?
The OVA adds Keisuke's FD3S battles against Smiley Sakai's DC2 Integra and Atsuro Kawai's ER34 Skyline. Both come from Project D's Saitama campaign in Shuichi Shigeno's manga.
When should Battle Stage 2 be watched in the Initial D order?
Watch it after Fourth Stage, since it summarizes that season and assumes viewers already know Project D's opponents. It was released in 2007, before Extra Stage 2 and the later Fifth Stage.
Does Battle Stage 2 keep the Eurobeat racing music?
Yes. The presentation is built around uninterrupted battles and Super Eurobeat tracks, making it closer to a racing highlight reel than a conventional Initial D season.
