[@btsa-r-m-y7090]

I'm gonna pass you your gonna try !

[@davidcastro3881]

I think the reason he passed Kadeem was because before the drone racers weren't much of a problem before in The World Race and he didn't know that they had an hour time limit unlike in The World Race therefore he was racing as if he was on Highway 35 which is flat out and for the win instead of survival.

[@NOLOAF-AR]

dude, you’re right! that sounds very similar to the fact that the drivers didn’t know there was a time limit when entering the storm realm if only dr.tezla had been more open about what they were dealing with :/

[@Vert344]

Well Tezla screwed a lot of Drivers by not telling them a lot. As he said (The realms only open "Once" And they get one shot.) Which was clearly shown as a lie when they get to the Swamp realm and we see Banjee's car "SOMEHOW" Floating in the water and covered in mold as if it had been there for some time. Then not telling them the 1 hour timeline. Not installing the escape devices even though he could have. Honestly if anyone is to play the blame game for Kadeem it would be all on Tezla for not just being upfront. Buuut instead he wanted to "Promote their rivalry" which in all honestly was stupid and only made shit worse. If he had just been 100 up front and explained everything from the start and given them what they needed from the beginning. They would have performed a lot better and probably wouldn't have lost Kadeem. And if he was SMART and had just gotten all the drivers at once instead of picking them off and having trial and error things would have went probably as they did with the World Race. Which he also foreshadowed the world race was just a "Test". Kinda like the Tutorial or beginner stages for newbies. As we see many of the "Realms" They visit seem to be the same or similar "Worlds" to ones in the world race just at different locations. Like the Swamp Realm could be in the Jungle ream but on two separate ends of the realms. Where one is "Easy" and the other is in more of the "Heart" of the realm.

[@sixteenthbluemoon7606]

Vert344 Right on about that, I guess I could compare it to my situation with my Shipgirls/Swordboys (Pardon me, just been playing KanColle/TouRabu for a while.) I really care about them and it would be a mess for me in the game if I actually saw one of them or a few of them die, resources wasted, emotional trauma. If Tesla was alot like that, not taking pointless risks which lead in the loss of a number of cars and a driver, then everyone could've performed better, Tesla and Lani knew that everyone would have found out sooner or later, but instead just fucks everyone over.

[@lux_phos-fate]

Vert344 About the realms opening “once” even though Banjee’s car was left there: I think that it only opens once if it is completed. Banjee failed to complete the track within the 1 hour timeframe, meaning that the Accelecharger was never taken, so someone else needs to finish the course. Think of it like this: somebody tries to finish the track and fails. Then years later, someone tries to get all of the Accelechargers but can’t because some idiot closed off the swamp realm. I guess the Accelerons did that in order to prevent that problem.

[@Jashin2k]

Not even gonna lie... I feel like Taro was the "BEST" Driver out of all the Drivers in World Race and Acceleracers. But it seems he just has super bad luck. Everytime he says "I'ma pass you" or he's actually about to get a WIN something always goes tits up in his face and he has to make a hard choice or ends up second. But if you notice everytime it comes down to the end of the race especially in the world Race he was always in the top spot or racing for the top spot when something happens. Honestly he kinda makes me feel like that guy who will always finish second even though he has the skills to be first.

[@NOLOAF-AR]

I definitely agree. I always that the two best drivers in the series were Taro and Karma. Taro for the reasons you listed, and Karma for her mindset on focus and whatnot. But the two just can't seem to catch a break. Taro's just always getting fucked over by something (whether it be Kadeem, The Silencerz, or himself) and the reason why Karma couldn't go into The Swamp Realm was ridiculous. It's really fitting that the two seem to start liking each other by the end of the series :]

[@Hawk-hb1xi]

On an slightly unrelated note, I think this series (HW35 and Acceleracers) did an excellent job with how they captured each characters' personality to thier car. Taro's 1970 Plymouth Roadrunner was always my favorite car, and I was kind of disappointed to see that it wasn't in the Acceleracers movies. I used to watch this movie regularly as a kid, revisiting it throughout the years. These movies are just too good to not be more popular. So underrated. It's a shame that it devolved into Battle Shit 5. I wasted a lot of time watching those episodes expecting some high speed racing action. Never again lol

[@DJ4000VOLT]

The Roadrunner was in the acceleracers ignition movie, he only used it in the storm realm, he changed the paint to Metal Maniac logos, roll cage added and he supercharged it. After the track shocked him, thats when he didnt have it anymore.

[@vipuldass2318]

[@smokincold971]

Despite his unfortunate disposition for tying and just general bad luck while on screen, I think Taro is probably the best driver in the series. At least on a regular basis. He's been most consistently towards the front of the pack I think.

[@NOLOAF-AR]

I’d have to agree. Despite almost always being targeted by the Silencerz, he always shows excellence (He speedran the Water Realm, came in second in the Pipeline Realm, and won the Junk Realm)

[@Legalis_R]

Taro gets rear ended "I've got trouble!" *Ends up in the drone HQ* "I've got more trouble." I like how he is more freaked out at first and he sounds all calm when he's in the HQ.

Slightly unrelated, but I’ve been rewatching Acceleracers with my friend, and I think Taro takes the most punishment out of the entire cast.

On top of that, he gets shafted out of winning several times, Metro Realm and Water Realm coming to mind.

I think maybe the Storm Racing Realm punished Taro for his comment as once Kadeem was lost in the realm, he was hit with one of the shock orbs and spun out.

If taro's wish for win against everyone didn't happend when Kadeem loses in the storm realm Kadeem would still human But in the moment Kadeem was falling was a mistake because he push the red button and the parachute appeard but that button is his Nitrox booster
