So this time Shingo decided to stay behind no matter what, so he could bump Takumi multiple times, which proved to be too much for the 86.

[@initialdfan2137]

Lesky went back to his Shingo loving days

[@leskyLSK]

I swear it's the most memeable character in the series lol

[@Bandit_Sudo]

And my absolute favourite. This video was a treat, and it was extremely appreciated. Keep up the amazing work, grateful for it.

[@TheKiddingStar]

Shingo is THE best, one of the most under utilized racers in the series. In fact i would say he almost represents the best of the first stage, how personal the race felt, the setup of the battle, hell even the ending all displayed the best that initial D had to offer IMO. Many of its best arcs have alot of similar elements

[@user-bx5zb3rb2o]

He instilled fear. He was unpredictable. And he was experienced. And yet, he did not have a higher goal, he was just an asshole with that view of racing, and he wanted to be number one in the Night Kids.

[@neonthunder3261]

He was the first character that actually felt like a villain. Initial D always felt like it lacked really too compelling characters after third stage imo

[@Germanica1871]

I infact think that his "totally not friend" Takeshi Nakazato is way more underutilized than Shingo. I would love to see more of Takeshi in the series and it makes me sad he is reduced to mere cameos after the loss on Myogi against the Emperors. It would be an amazing redemption arc for him to train harder than ever before, go to Irohazaka and beat the Emperors once and for all. And maybe along the way start something romantic with Sayuki along the way.

[@hunterxhunted1489]

Canon for me . Takumi learns a lesson and is dedicated to train hard to become like Shingo

[@ryosuke.takahashi]

Nah, he's killed by Bunta because he wrecked the 86

[@MyogiGuardrailerPNG]

​@@ryosuke.takahashi Yes, Bunta doesn't want his ride wrecked

Favorite Race, Shingo is my favorite character.

Appricate it

[@bokexd3173]

RIP Takumi Reason for death: ended by his father for crusing the 86

[@initialdfan2137]

I love this, but if possible maybe you could have used a clip of itsuki crashing from the back so you can’t see it a levin just to add a bit more? Or maybe just a quick shot of when takumi hits the guardrail on purpose before cutting to black with the crash sound effect? Besides that amazing

[@leskyLSK]

Using the moment Takumi hit the guardrail on purspose is actually a good thought, I would definitely fit it into the video, but that didn't come to my mind when I was editing. And yeah, thank you. Glad you liked the video.

[@ryosuke.takahashi]

This must have taken some work Great video

[@SGNedtiz]

Shingo was probably the most smartest racers who ever raced Takumi cuz he stayed back the whole time

[@MyogiGuardrailerPNG]

Yup, I got 1000+ IQ

[@JSPacxizion]

I think if shingo play fair and square. He would won easily. Because if get in front from the beginning Tak maybe can’t get used to with gum tape so shingo can outrun him first.

[@staticcorvette5998]

Even though this may be of my favorite races of all the anime, the way Takumi figured it out so quickly doesn’t really cut it for me…maybe Takumi could’ve had a previous encounter with Shingo, which would’ve had made him reconsider things and prepare for the big race via training previously, or even do two races, one loosing and another one winning for good.

What if the 86 was an suv

[@leskyLSK]

Why do I find it hilarious 💀

[@obviousoptimus4440]

actually during the battle against the R32, one of the translations were bad and called the 86 a 4runner so it already happened xd

[@zetsurk]

Do some edits on the scene where Takumi actually couldn't catch up using Itsuki's Levin to those guys mocking them at Akina then Takumi jumps out of the car and while Itsuki still in it crashes into a guardrail, off the cliff and goes to hospital Idk some stupid scenario i made

“I pulled it out , I’m lucky “ -Takumi Fujiwara 199?…20?? When did this take place ????

[@samarcher1316]

Takumi then went on to an AE82 specialist

Thank you dad

[@tofuteufel2402]

If Shingo wanted to he could've overtaken Takumi after like 50 meters and from that point it's automatically a win for him

[@Hasy7amvmaker]

I wonder how do you avoid those getting copyright claims but shingo would brag Takeshi all day 😅

[@initialdfan2137]

Leskys favorite character is shingo

[@PotatoPolice]

Drifting using a fwd is fun

[@ghostmaster8427]

only shingo can do it

the bad ending

[@yanning9113]

You mean the smart shingo ending or the actual ending?

The ending that actually has more logic
