Purple Shadow is probably the toughest opponent Project.D has ever faced. I feel that they are even stronger than all of the teams presented in the Kanagawa Prefecture. (Fifth Stage)

Based in Ibaraki, Purple Shadow is a team led by "God Arm" Toshiya Joshima and "God Foot" Kozo Hoshino. Their home course is a short but very twisty route called the フルーツライン (Fruits Line) on 筑波山 (Mount Tsukuba) This windy path is merely 2.8 km (1.75 miles) in length. Going full speed down this path only takes about three minutes one way.

There are gutters visible on the inside and outside of each turn. But these gutters are different than the smooth inclined ones found in Mt. Haruna (Akina) The ones in Fruits Line are littered with small rocks and weeds, making it even more dangerous to do the gutter run here.

Due to the various complex back-to-back S curves here, it is possible to formulate many different racing lines here that will result in the same lap time. But like Ryousuke said, the fastest line is different from the rest and there can be only one as shown in the last two episodes from Initial D Fourth Stage.

Be sure to check out the Street View link below to explore this windy road.

Haha, my head is now playing the BGM from that last picture scene.
