Ryosuke and Ryuji Stop Shinigami (Initial D Fifth Stage)

[@nightflash96]

I've heard stories that these kinds of things did actually happen in the Japanese Touge, where a driver's breaks would go out and the others would try stop them with their car. You'd think this is an insane stretch just for the sake of the anime but apparently there were incidents like this happening in real life.

[@nero3948]

That sounds badass

It does happened in real life cause noriyaro said it too on trash taste

The entire way on how this battle ended makes it one of the most unique and arguably the best in the series

[@ryosuke.takahashi]

This battle was definitely the best

[@grandicellichannel]

Absolutely yes, especially when Kaori intervened to help them stop. To be honest, some tears fell down in the moment when Ryosuke and Rin realized that she was actually there... just beautiful and very meaningful. 👍💙

[@grandicellichannel]

And when I understood the real point behind this race, the character of Ryosuke became for me a real hero. In this battle, he put himself risking his own life with the only assurance from his skills and his FC. And why? To save a man who lost his will to live and has lost it to the point to wanting to kill Ryo for real, for a love lost from the both of them but whithout anything bad done from the latter. A true hero in here, hands down! 💪

This is the coolest scene in the whole series for me I once drove down a mountain in Turkey and my brakes almost did nothing anymore and actually started burning. On my own this would have been pretty bad but I had 3 family members with me. Luckily we made it down the mountain safely but this scene always makes me slightly emotional, however ridiculous that may be to say about a cartoon about illegal racing.

0:06 They passed the gravel trap that is designed to safely catch and stop runaway fully loaded commercial vehicles, as mentioned in the manga. 0:17 This type of guardrail is designed specifically to give and deform around a vehicle, catching it in a ribbon of steel. Our brainlet driver also neglects any form of engine braking or parking/e-brake. Don't learn to drive from an anime, kids.

Maybe because they are ramming nearly everywhere and GTR was slowly losing its brakes and ryousuke refunded to gap him and was slowing down as well. At the near end of battle they both slowed massively and don't forget zero is not a slow driver
