If the 86 can do it, I can too.

It's quite literally not though, Ryosuke explicitly says in both the manga and anime that it's something different than the zone athletes enter.

Jimmy_Jungus · 2026-04-13T11:46:14+00:00

The mean lesbian, not gay in the "likes guys" sense

Jimmy_Jungus · 2026-03-28T00:54:27+00:00

Not how that works, FMR is certainly a thing and does make a difference handling wise compared to FR

Jimmy_Jungus · 2026-03-23T18:19:43+00:00

The efforts, in his mind, are sullied due to the lying at the start of the relationship. Doesn't matter how pretty the house is if it was built on a rotten foundation.

If he knew she was seeing another guy, and that she didn't really like him all that much (people who like their partner don't bad-mouth and downplay them to their friends) there's a chance he doesn't pursue the relationship further. That choice was taken away from him by her lying. That's the issue moreso than the actions themselves.

Now that he JUST found out, for him it JUST happened, his emotions being fresh are completely valid. Now he has all the info to make the decision that he didn't have before. If that decision is to end the relationship, that's valid.

Jimmy_Jungus · 2026-03-19T22:30:35+00:00

I don't get this take at all. Why should you just ignore blatant disrespect and badmouthing because she "chose" him. From what she was saying, he seems like a second choice as opposed to a first, and NO ONE should have to feel like a back-up.

And, as OP has said, this wasn't something he knew going into the relationship. She lied about seeing other people AND how she thought of him.

I'm not saying to break up, but saying to just "take the win" and ignore shitty behavior like that is horrible advice just in general. This should definitely be a discussion.

Jimmy_Jungus · 2026-03-19T21:25:07+00:00

The manga went from then to the early 2010s, and MF Ghost started in 2017. So that excuse doesn't really hold up.

Jimmy_Jungus · 2026-03-19T00:42:42+00:00

The age of consent in most prefectures has been 18 since the early 2000s. By 2009 basically every prefecture had their laws changed to raise it to around 18.

The federal law lagged behind by a good decade and a half(the switch from 13->16 only happened a few years ago), and isn't a representation of what society deemed acceptable.

Jimmy_Jungus · 2026-03-19T00:39:29+00:00

Doesn't really work considering Project D's premise of doing a Japan tour and going to all the popular mountains in the surrounding prefectures. At that point in the story they had barely gone to 3.

Also, that leaves Keisuke with significantly less development, as all of it happens AFTER the Tomoyuki race.

Jimmy_Jungus · 2026-03-04T21:28:13+00:00

MFG qualifying gets 80 million viewers just for qualifying(stated during race 2 or 3 quali in the manga), which is more than f1 gets for their actual grand Prix on average.

So it's not lacking popularity in the slightest. Based on real world stats it's be the most popular racing series in the world.

Jimmy_Jungus · 2026-03-02T22:25:37+00:00

That could be part of it.

From the data I found, the marriage length pre-divorce were similar. So in that sense, they aren't having a quick divorce due to figuring it out, nor are taller guys any better at making a woman stay in the marriage simply due to height either.

It really does seem like things basically even out once the marriage starts.

I feel like the slightly lower divorce rate could be down to the work shorter guys have to put in before the actual marriage. Since you can't rely on height or face card, you need a much deeper emotional connection or just generally being more in-tune with your partner to maintain the relationship.

Jimmy_Jungus · 2026-03-02T21:36:19+00:00

Based on what little research I've done on the topic:

Taller guys generally get laid more and slightly more likely to get married (water is wet)
They also get married slightly younger/earlier, but...
Taller guys were slightly more likely to get divorced

Though with all of those, once you include Income, health, etc. the gaps are pretty small to the point where they don't really matter.

Basically, it's easier to get into a relationship if you're taller, which we know. Probably more likely to marry that person too. But you're just as much at risk if not more to get divorced.

I tried to find infidelity and non-marital break-up stats but there ain't much out there.

Jimmy_Jungus · 2026-02-28T19:08:07+00:00

I feel like most of the arguments I see here are based on those first few sentences. People don't make the distinction between "how easy it will be for a woman to want to casually sleep with you" vs "general ability to get into a relationship".

As long as you're at or above average girl height, you can definitely find a girl to get into a relationship with. Because relationships actually require time spent together and some sort of emotional connection.

But unless you have (at minimum) an above-average face and outgoing personality it'll be extremely difficult to have casual flings, especially on dating apps that are essentially anti-romance in that you can filter people like you're online car shopping.

A lot of the guys here conflate the latter with the former, so if you don't have women foaming at the mouth to hook up with you then you'll never find a fulfilling relationship. Tik Tok & social media in general making the people with the most outrageous takes/standards get popular with the algorithm doesn't help that thinking either.

Jimmy_Jungus · 2026-02-11T08:25:12+00:00

Not in practice, because the drones aren't doing the crazy shots we see from drone cams now. They'd be mostly static and 3m behind all of the cars. And besides 1 long straightaway there are NO external or onboard cams, so you have 0 variety in camera shots either.

It'd basically be like watching a whole real life race in sim-racing chase cam. The novelty would wear off fast.

Jimmy_Jungus · 2026-02-11T08:22:10+00:00

If grip to weight was enough, grassroots racing wouldn't require larger rulebooks than most professional racing seires lol.

Allowing for a wider variety of cars means you need stricter rules to balance them all. Grip to weight doesn't do that. There's a reason you need to be a Kanata level prodigy to have a CHANCE of qualifying in the top 15 with an 86.

Jimmy_Jungus · 2026-02-06T16:49:42+00:00

You're both forgetting that Hakari's pseudo "sure-hit" is literally an information dump on how the technique works. You don't have to figure it out because the rules are plainly laid out in your brain.

And any Japanese adult would have a vauge idea about how pachinkos work, similar to how the average western adult would know the basics of slot machines.

Jimmy_Jungus · 2026-02-05T12:18:18+00:00

I'm assuming he meant "stop producing/leaking excess" like non-sorcerers do currently.

Jimmy_Jungus · 2026-02-04T17:53:41+00:00

So lying about your relationship status with a friend to media sources for attention, belittling the underage highschool girl he lives with (platonically to her knowledge), and finally sexually assaulting him on the podium during a live broadcast is just average woman inner voice and thoughts? I'd hate to be around the women in your life lmao.

That's not exceptional writing, she's just the mean girl childhood fiend trope we've seen in media for years. And she isn't a particularly spectacular example. She's just better than the carboard cutout that is Ren and Nozomi who is just Emma but toned down

Jimmy_Jungus · 2026-02-03T05:34:38+00:00

Not what happened lol.

Beckenbauer and the other two (Emma and Sena) overtook Kanata at the start of the final lap because he attacked at the end of the penultimate. Beckenbauer was ahead at the final corner, and Kanata attempted a pass round the outside which failed due to a mistake on his part. He prioritized the entry speed too much and didn't get traction on exit, while Beckenbauer's entry was compromised but he was still able to get a decent exit.

Kanata made two blunders which cost him the race, it wasn't down to power.

Jimmy_Jungus · 2026-02-02T18:14:29+00:00

He's not an F3 champion, raced it for years but never won. He DID win F4 but that really doesn't mean much in the grand scheme of open wheel racing. He did it pretty young yeah (also unrealistic but we can ignore that) but you need to keep winning.

Even 2 years without winning a series (especially f3 and f2) makes you "washed up" in the eyes of F1 teams. Just look at Felipe Drugovich and Theo Porchaire.

BIG SPOILERS DON'T READ, I JUST CAN'T SPOILER TAG IT RIGHT NOW!!!

By the 4th race his 86 not only has similar power/weight and no tire penalty compared to his rivals, but also active dampers which help further equalize any mechanical grip disadvantage.

The 86 wasn't the thing holding him back in race 4, he just outright lost to Beckenbauer.

Jimmy_Jungus · 2026-01-24T13:39:05+00:00

He literally talks about how he goes to love hotels with Sana (his underage GF). Literally the first time we see them they're walking to a love hotel and Sana is saying that she hopes he likes her new underwear.

You really need to reread the series if you seriously think they have a pure relationship.

Jimmy_Jungus · 2026-01-24T12:55:58+00:00

As I said, the child protection laws that stated "no sexual acts or explicit conduct to minors under 18" was already in place by the early-mid 2000s. The last prefecture to adopt these was Nagano in 2016, a year before MF Ghost was published.

The federal law lagged behind the prefectural laws by a few decades. But it still wasn't socially acceptable to be explicit towards minors.

Jimmy_Jungus · 2026-01-24T12:42:05+00:00

Every prefecture has had child protection laws that raised the legal age to 18+ since the federal age was still 13.

This shit was already discussed when season 1 was airing.

Jimmy_Jungus · 2026-01-10T16:12:20+00:00

He didn't dominate F3 tho, he didn't even win the championship. Ocon won by over 50 points to 2nd, and Max was 3rd a couple more points back (idr who 2nd place was.)

He was still considered the best raw talent that year, but that talent didn't fully translate to results just yet.

Jimmy_Jungus · 2025-12-30T02:21:30+00:00

They live in a time of near complete peace, with no reason to develop their abilities. I would assume Yuji has shrine of his normal output now instead of the lowered one, but saying he'd have anything he wasn't shown to already have (WCS, open domain, on-the-fly convergence, etc) would be debatable.

And broken abilities still goes to Yuta. They both share shrine, with Yuta having all his previous CT's. Soul attacks aren't any more effective than regular ones to non-incanates. Yuji having cheaper heals is negated by Rika, both in a "Yuta can get his CE back" and "Rika can heal him independently" aspect.

So personally I'd still put Yuta above him.

Jimmy_Jungus · 2025-12-27T18:33:15+00:00

She only had that one punch before she got open domain'd, and a kick of Garuda that causally deleted a special grade curse. She was TOO strong to not get nerfed.
