I think one of the things that wasn't really mentioned (but the end of the video alludes to) is that after Takumi grenaded the Eight-Six in Second Stage, the replacement engine used was a race-spec engine with a redline of over 11,000 (which Bunta acquired by someone who owed him a favor). Having that much more of a power threshold to play with would explain a lot of the advanced techniques being doable, and by Fourth Stage, Ryosuke was footing the bill for all repairs and maintenance to the 86, FD and FC anyway. The moral of the story: sometimes you can throw money at every problem.

also to add: Bunta initially didn't bother adding an 11k rpm tachometer when he did the swap to let Takumi figure out why it wasn't behaving as it should after the fact.

Initial D is loosely based on the life of Keiichi Tsuchiya aka The Drift King, with its main character Takumi Fujiwara being based on him, and the AE86 he drifted with in real life . He helped the author of Initial D, Shuichi Shigeno, write the Manga and was also a consultant during the production of the anime. The mountain in the anime is a real mountain in Japan and Keiichi Tsuchiya has drifted on it a thousand times. Even the tofu shop is a real place.
@thebigitchy3 ай бұрын
While I'm sure Tsuchiya drifted on Mt. Haruna (the inspiration for Akina), his home course was the Usui Pass that was the home course for Impact Blue. And the tofu shop was a real place. The facade was relocated to a car museum in Ikaho when the tofu shop went out of business. I've driven the road in the early morning at irresponsible speeds, and it's really fun - though the hairpin section has speed bumps now. Usui Pass is comparatively more twisty, and while fun, isn't as well maintained, and can be quite treacherous if the weather isn't perfect (wet roads, branches fallen across the road) - the pass has been closed since September due to landslides...

In the US, the cup wouldn't work, but Japan keeps their roads flat, minus the paint strips to prevent drifters in the touges now.

Interesting that you mention making it loose and flowy, because thats exactly how the 86 was setup for the mountain runs. The car was initially setup for tofu delivery, so it wasn't meant to be fast in that configuration. The whole purpose of the cup was "if the water comes out of the cup, the tofu will likely be damaged". So heavy acceleration, braking, lateral G force, sudden movements and hard drivetrain forces were all a "no no" while Takumi was doing delivery runs.

We have such shitty road maintenance in Finland that the side of the road has in many place work the pavement off least partially and combination with heavy logging trucks using all the space, those areas are stamped rather tight so if i'm in hurry/driving seriously there is several spots i utilize those to go trough corners way faster than i could using the pavement it self. Similarly in couple years after i got my license i also developed driving technique to use inertia to swing the rear out with out using hand brake to drift trough the corners. After 10 years of driving like that, i come across this new thing to me coming from Japan called drifting and i was just confused "isint that just normal serious driving?"... Of course i was limited to what under powered FWD corolla and her extremely heavy rear end could do, so did this mostly on winter, but its funny how everyone were so shocked about gutter cornering and inertia drifts, when that was normal driving to me.

For a quick correction: When brake fluid boils, it has nothing to do with viscosity. Brake fluid, like most fluid, is incompressible in its liquid form. When you boil it, brake fluid becomes a gas which will compress similar to having air in your brake lines. Any force used to compress a gas is not used to press your brake pads into the rotor. That’s why boiling brake fluid is dangerous.

He taught me this gutter technique as a young teen one night we could get a car slowed on some old back roads. We hit 35mph turn in a Mazda 323 running every bit 85-90 mph. He yelled hold on boys to me and my cousin. I thought we were dead. After the turn we were still moving 60 mph. Ive used the trick a few times myself through out the years of raising hell behind the wheel and it works. Without a doubt you tare up shit but it does work and will get you around a sharp turn way faster then you ever should. From watching power lines at night time for headlight glare rev matching auto and manual transmissions to slow down, using the gutter technique, using throttle and brake manipulation to keep a car inline and so much more little tricks like this. This is the stuff that makes a wheelman .

So all the time when everyones like "woah that 86 is insane how can he beat a GTR" it's hinting at the modifications. There's a few other hints before it's explicitly revealed later on. The even more insane part of the story is Bunta doesn't tell Takumi about modding the car for each race, he simply gives him the best tools he needs and Takumi instinctively puts them to use

Loved the commentary! Just have a small correction : the reason brakes fade when the fluid boils is not that the fluid loses viscosity (it does get thinner - but that's not a problem, because it still is not compressible), but because it turns into vapor. Being a gas, the vapor is compressible (like a spring), where the fluid is not compressible. You don't need a lot of fluid to boil to inject a lot of vapor into the line - and then it's just like having a lot of air in the line. Even a little air will make the brakes feel "soft" - but a lot of air or vapor in the line will result in the brakes being so soft that they are basically absent - you push the pedal, and it goes right to the floor with no resistance. (and no braking). I have had this happen to me on the track. However, you are not totally out of control - esp. on a manual shifter. You can carefully downshift and let the engine slow you down - perhaps with some damage to the clutch material, but that's better than a crash.

i do this on corners you don't need to brake on, i'll tap the brake ever so slightly with my left foot, the brake lights go off, and they lose .300ths in an instant it's especially useful in flatout corners where there's only one good line, either they try and overtake and risk flying off the track, or they sit behind me and lose that time. this also works on midspeed corners where you don't brake, but you let off the gas and rotate the car through, as inexperienced drivers will brake in those corners, so it's plausible for you to be braking. if you fail to sell the fact you're braking, they might call your bluff and that trick will run out. i try to only use it as a last ditch thing before a checkered flag just to throw off their timing enough to guarantee no drama before the finish line.

@@INFERNUM95 Races are very good, the star of the show (Datsun 240 Devil Z) is as memorable as the AE86, but the central focus of Wangan Midnight is not the techniques and hype in street racing like Initial D - It's the consequences that come to people who do those street races in the middle of densely populated highways. What leads them to race, their encounters with the Devil Z, and how many ultimately abandon street racing for good after it.

The real question is, which Initial D dub did you watch? There was TokyoPop and Funimation. The Funimation dub had the Eurobeat soundtrack and more faithful to the anime. Tokyopop was made much earlier, had their own..... interesting soundtrack, and had their own names for the characters.
@thetougecedia3 ай бұрын
Huh... a fan of this anime for 6 years and I didn't know there were multiple dubs. Maybe because I pretty much always focused on the sub lol
@Fox2quick3 ай бұрын
The Tokyopop dub has so many differences because it was meant to match some western releases of the arcade game, as well as being intended to air on American TV. A lot of the changes were because they didn’t think the music and names would appeal as much to American viewers.
@derekspringer64483 ай бұрын
I'm so glad I found the funimation one and not the other one the first time I watched... I feel like I may not have loved the D as much as I do if it had gone the other way.

@@Fox2quick TP version was so garbage. I tried watching it once and just couldn't do it. "Tak!" Seriously? How hard is it for someone to recognize "Takumi", even when you're reading it. "Pizza DELIVERY!" Why are you going to deliver pizza at like, 5am to a hotel? It was so bad. I'm glad TP got so much sh*t for their version. What was funny to me is the second season was widely released (via torrent) as initially a Chinese dub with English Subtitles. I took Chinese in high school for a couple years (Mandarin), but I believe this was Cantonese. It was a little odd at first, but I was fine afterwards since I was just reading the subs. My friend from Japan also liked the series after I introduced it to him. When season 2 was being released he visited my dorm to watch it. When the dialogue started he was startled, then confused and said, "They're speaking Chinese!" I said, "yeah. I couldn't find a Japanese version." He smirked and waned a bit then said, "Okay, can we start over? I just listened to it before but now I need to read the subtitles." I said, "Oh yeah...sorry bro. I tried but couldn't find the original Japanese audio, so this is all there is for now." That was quite funny.

I remember in the early 2000s in Sacramento all of the little Japanese street racer rides had Initial D stickers in the window. I remember playing SegaGT and Forza1 and halfway through the game they'd give you this little Toyota hatchback and I'd be like 'this crappy car again?' and you'd do the racing engine upgrade and just DOMINATE the AI racers. Then I saw the show I understood, seeing the cultural impact of this show on street racing before I actually saw the show. Awesome video.

Initial D is probably *the* anime car guys know about. It’s basically why Eurobeat is a decently popular music genre, and it’s why the AE86 is as well-known and popular as it is. The anime is why the “Tofu Tax” exists.

if you liked Initial D I highly suggest you watch MFG and Wangan Midnight. That 300zx you're talking about is actually one of the first cars seen in Wangan Midnight. You could also have a go at reading the mangas, they sometimes tend to differ from the anime and offer a bit more room for personal interpretation.

I have driven the mountain roads of Mt Haruna, which is very much what Mt Akina is in real life and they have actually covered most of those gutters now since they are pretty dangerous. Still some sections uncovered, but now the ones in the Anime. Of course they have also added traffic calming devices that resonate at speed and will slam your car into the bump stops before the five hairpins, which sucks. Irohazaka has the same crazy 5 low speed bump resonance things as well. Otherwise, it is amazing how accurate the representations of all of the roads across all of the series is. I drove all of them in a BRZ and the characteristics are so well captured.

I had to drop into neutral and rev up every stoplight to keep my engine from stalling from just stopping. Oddly enough, I've also had experience dropping into a Japanese open gutter too. On the way to work on completely iced-over rural roads, oversteered at a curve, and found the open gutter hidden under the snow. Just dropped in rather gently and rode the snow and ice to a stop. Scraped the hell out of my axles, but otherwise no major damage. Then again, I've always driven Jimnys or K-trucks here.
