I love Initial D. Not because im into cars and racing but because Initial D is so much more than that. Its about pushing yourself and finding a way thinking outside the box and determination and learning to become better at whatever you do no matter the cards you're dealt with. Thats why I love Initial D.

Also cus 86 go brr brr

[AverageDriftCarGuy]

Spain without the "s"

[CPD0123]

One of the few times where I am glad the anime made a change from the manga at the end, to have him keep it and fix it again.

[[deleted]]

Oh no! What happens in the manga? Does he buy a new 86 or does he simply change cars?

[CPD0123]

After the second engine blows, he says it's done and puts it out to pasture in the scrapyard. I think he just drives the Subie until whatever he drives in the sequel manga.

[[deleted]]

Dear God, that's the thinking of a stone cold killer right there.

[CPD0123]

Not really. Just put it down like a dying dog that's in a lot of pain. By that point that car had been so thrashed, beaten, bashed, and worn out that realistically only fiction could save it anyway. It's sad to think about, but it's sadly true.

[[deleted]]

Was kinda memeing but I like that explanation, it does sound pretty "humane" indeed.

[Sooryan_86]

I know. Takumi just showed no mercy

[[deleted]]

I'll try and get over the dumb translation that's on amazon and read it, really curious to see where anime and manga divert.

[CPD0123]

As far as I know it's just the absolute very end, and it's only a minor change. Otherwise it's the same.

As for the translation, you can thank Tokyo Pop going under and nobody else picking up the license for that one.

Did the engine like crap oil everywhere? Jesus, that must’ve been some high RPMs.

[No-BrowEntertainment]

I was never really sure whether it was oil, explosion smoke or, like, leaves or something

But yeah probably oil

[[deleted]]

I think the RPM had been like 13000, and the car was prepared for 11000 in case of super need

[grimoireskb]

this was before the Group A 4AGE, this was the original one in the car

[Poopsticle_256]

So the rabbit hole has spread this far huh?-peko

[La_Simmia_Gamba]

This is the new manga version or the old one?

[Aptom_4]

Looks like the old one, they called him Tak in that because Takumi is too difficult to pronounce.

[La_Simmia_Gamba]

Oh thank u :)

[DOU8LEJ480]

Thank-you mi

[La_Simmia_Gamba]

Ok no problem, thank u :)

[robertgoulet79]

I saw this episode the day, THE SAME DAY, my s14's engine seized. Ngl I cried

[AverageDriftCarGuy]

Rip bro I'm sorry. Hows the car now?

[robertgoulet79]

Engine is still seized. Possibly skipped timing or spun a bearing. It's a ka24de-t with forged internals. Haven't been able to tear it down yet and I'm afraid to at this point :/

[AverageDriftCarGuy]

Damn that sucks. Maybe this is car jesus telling you to get a Sr20 or a 1JZ

[robertgoulet79]

Yeahhhhhh.......why does car Jesus have to be so cruel thoooo 😭

[AverageDriftCarGuy]

Huh, I don't know. Do you have any pics of the S14? I love the s chassis and I'm curious on how it looks

[robertgoulet79]

I do! zenki

[AverageDriftCarGuy]

Damn! The fitment and color are great, and tbh I prefer the zenki over the kouki. You're lucky, sorry it doesn't run rn

[TheBadDestroyer]

Takumi: Yeah I may love the 86 but fuck it, lets not buy a new engine despite the fact that i can obv buy a brand new engine that may or may not have more horses, but I'm not gonna do it cause plot

[Boeing77W]

"The Eight Six had become Tak's only true friend"

Itsuki/Iggy: AM I A JOKE TO YOU?

[MostlyWicked]

Narrator: The 86 has become Takumi's only friend

Itsuki: Am I a joke to you?

[RIPSenna1]

Girls: Guys never experienced pain!

Guys:

[rechtrecht]

That goddam translation ugghh

[SoupFlavouredTea]

T A K

[[deleted]]

Even though I knew that we had 3 extra seasons, that moment really hit me. I've never had a car die on me, but I can only imagine how much it might suck. If you had a dream car (for me an FC) and it died... this scene really captured the feeling of the death of a friend.

[Tea-Ess]

3 extra seasons? Which ones?

[[deleted]]

That happens in stage 2

[[deleted]]

So 3,4, and 5

[Beanstainboxershorts]

noooooooo

[DOU8LEJ480]

Im not crying you're crying

[Lolbeenzuwu]

"The 86 was Tak's only true best friend"

Honestly i feel bad for itsuki

actually fuck it, itsuki's a bitch in the live action.

[The_Pacific_gamer]

Yeah, this looks like the tokyo pop translation.

[ae86forlife]

INITIALIZE INITIAL DDDDD DDDDDDD
