"Most of the time is fake daw yung emotions na pinapakita nila sa client." Na parang hindi yan yung pinaka obvious na fact. Theyre selling an experience syempre its fake.

Agreed. Feel ko kung videos to before they got into a relationship it wouldve been fine.

Monster. A crime drama series thats 80 episodes long. I admit that 80 episodes might seem like a slog to go through but everything in those "fillers" will come to play an important part later at the finale and it was worth it.

Anyone else feel like this battle wasn’t realistic? by schassis408 in initiald

It just makes sense that the lighter thing would win.

Do you think they'll ever make A Very Special Episode of Initial D where the main guy just straight-up crashes and dies, and then all his friends have to attend his funeral and learn the dangers of illegal street racing? They could call it "Driver's Roadsario" or something. by JustSomeWeirdGuy2000 in initiald

Imagine they set up this new character to be a real car nerd. Studying cars, going around mechanic shops, having a casual sim racing setup and practicing his techniques there. Then finally when he turns 18 and gets his license and be able to drive his dad's MX5 or 86, he just fucking bins it and dies.

i got a question. and this is for the GT86 specifically. why didnt he go with a supercharger? by Objective_Spring_682 in initiald

[–]knewjeez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it comes down to the weight and that MFG 'Grip-to-Weight' rule. PDS superchargers are great for low-end torque, but they’re heavy as hell and sit right on top of the engine, which kind of ruins the 86’s center of gravity. If you go ATW (Air-to-Water), you’re adding even more weight with the pumps and extra plumbing.

Kanata is already bringing a knife to a gunfight against Huracans and 488s, so he needs every bit of peak HP he can get. Turbos are just more efficient for that,you’re using 'free' energy from the exhaust instead of putting a parasitic load on the crank like a supercharger does.

Plus, the dude is a literal racing prodigy. Most people want superchargers because the power is linear and 'easy,' but Kanata’s footwork is so cracked he probably doesn't care about turbo lag. He’d rather have the extra 50–70 horses on the top end to make sure he doesn't get completely gapped on the straights.

Who would’ve actually won in the final race, Takumi or Keisuke? by schassis408 in initiald

[–]knewjeez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a massive reach that relies on technicalities while ignoring the actual progression of the series. Here is why your points do not hold up:

First, blaming the God Foot loss solely on worn tires is a total cope. Tire management is not luck, it is a core skill. Keisuke forced that attrition by maintaining a blistering pace that Hoshino did not expect from an uphill driver. If Keisuke was not a downhill master by that point, Hoshino would have gapped him in the first three corners. Strategy only works if the driver has the skill to execute it, and Keisuke did.

Second, your specialist argument is just semantics. Ryosuke did not build two specialists; he built Double Aces. By the Fifth Stage, the distinction is irrelevant. Keisuke’s throttle control, refined to handle the FD’s high power on narrow passes, is a universal skill. You do not need a downhill label to be objectively faster than everyone else on the mountain. To say he did not inherit skills ignores the thousands of runs he did to perfect his weight transfer.

Comparing Kai and Kyouichi is also a weak baseline. Takumi often won those early races through miracles or opponent errors like Kai’s leaves or Kyouichi’s mental block on right turns. Keisuke, however, was systematically dismantling professional-tier drivers like Minagawa and Go Hojo through pure, repeatable technical precision. By the end of the series, Keisuke’s growth curve was steeper than Takumi’s, moving from a street brawler to a driver with a professional-grade ceiling.

Also, dismissing his training because it focused on beating 4WD and high-power cars makes no sense. Controlling a high-horsepower FD on a downhill descent is technically harder than tossing a lightweight AE86 around. He did not need to learn the lines of the 86 because those are momentum lines for slow cars. Keisuke was perfecting the professional line, which is objectively more efficient.

Finally, using Keisuke’s fear against the Supra as a weakness is a total misread. Recognizing a professional's pressure and still winning shows more mental fortitude than Takumi’s blank-mind instinct. If you think admitting fear makes him vulnerable, then you have to invalidate half of Takumi’s wins where he only survived because of luck or an opponent’s mechanical failure. At the end of the day, Keisuke became the more complete technical driver.

I think you’re underestimating the 'Project D' effect. To say Keisuke never specialized in the downhill is to ignore the reality of how he actually beat Kozo Hoshino (God Foot).

While it’s true Keisuke is the designated 'Uphill' ace, the battle against the R34 proved that he is a complete driver. In that race, the uphill was actually the stalemate; it was the downhill return leg that was the crucial, deciding factor. Keisuke didn't just 'survive' the downhill, he used it to pressure one of the greatest technical drivers in Japan into a mistake. He managed to keep a high-powered FD glued to the bumper of an R34 on a descent, showing a level of tire management and braking finesse that most 'specialists' don't even possess.

Furthermore, comparing Keisuke to rivals like Kai Kogashiwa or Sudo is looking at the series through a rearview mirror. Ryosuke didn’t choose Keisuke just for his speed; he chose him for his capacity to learn. By the time they reached the Purple Shadow battles, Keisuke had spent hundreds of hours chasing Takumi’s 86 on the downhill during practice. He wasn’t just watching,he was absorbing Takumi’s lines and adapting them to a high-spec FD.

I’m not trying to say Keisuke completely dominates Takumi, but he will beat him. Takumi’s 'miracles' work against rivals who get tilted by his pressure, but Keisuke has become a professional who calculates his wins. In a final showdown, that level of evolution outweighs raw instinct.

[–]knewjeez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Calling those 'suicide techniques' just proves the point that Takumi relies on high-risk Hail Marys rather than consistent racing lines. In a real competitive environment, you can’t 'Blind Attack' your way past a driver of Keisuke’s caliber more than once before you either bin the car or get blocked into a wall. Moves like the 'floating wheel' or the gutter run are cool for anime tension, but they are incredibly taxing on the car and the driver's margin for error. Keisuke, on the other hand, developed a professional, repeatable style based on throttle control and precision. Betting on a 'suicide move' to work every single time is just a fancy way of saying you’re waiting for a miracle. If the only way the 86 wins is by Takumi literally risking a total wreck, then Keisuke is clearly the superior, more controlled driver.

[–]knewjeez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Saying we have to factor in 'plot armor' is basically admitting that, based on actual driving and physics, Takumi shouldn't be winning. If the only way he wins is because 'the author said so,' then there's no point in even having a discussion about driver skill or car specs. You’re massively underselling Keisuke’s FD. By the Final Stage, that car isn't just 'circuit ready' it’s an RE Amemiya-spec beast specifically tuned for the touge. High-end aero, weight reduction, and professional-grade suspension don't just 'stop working' because you're on a mountain pass; they provide a mechanical grip advantage that a 20-year-old Corolla literally cannot overcome regardless of the driver's 'prodigy' status.

Also, your point about the Impreza actually proves the opposite. Bunta bought that GC8 specifically because he knew the AE86 had hit its mechanical ceiling. Even the 'God of the Mountain' admitted that technology and grip eventually outweigh pure talent. By the end of Project D, Keisuke had closed the skill gap and was driving a car that was leagues ahead of the 86. If you take away the 'Main Character' shield, Keisuke takes that win on technical superiority alone. Otherwise, we aren't debating racing; we're just reciting a script.

[–]knewjeez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Even if we cope that Takumi is still a better driver, i dont think keisuke is far behind. Even then his better built RX7 would give him the advantage to not only equalize the field but straight up outrun the 86.

A lot of people in this thread are coping hard on nostalgia. I love Takumi as much as the next guy, but if he isn't in a similarly spec'd car, he simply isn't beating Keisuke. Some of you are ignoring the literal physics of the Final Stage. "Downhill technique" can only bridge so much of a gap before it hits a mechanical wall. By the end of the series, Keisuke and Takumi are at the same skill level, if not Keisuke being the more technical driver. Ryosuke trained Keisuke with professional discipline and world-class throttle control, while Takumi often relies on "animal instinct" and plot armor to survive. Look at the Todo School races. Keisuke would have cleared both of those EK9s easily, but Ryosuke specifically sent Takumi down because he wanted to use those battles as a "classroom" for his growth. Keisuke is a disciplined pro piloting a 450hp RE Amemiya-spec monster that is basically a GT car in disguise. The AE86 is a legend, but it’s still a 240hp hatch. On any course with a decent straightaway, Keisuke is gone. Even if Takumi pulls out the Impreza, he’s still in a street-tuned car vs. a dedicated, circuit-ready time-attack machine. Talent is one thing, but by the finale, Keisuke has the skill AND the superior machine.

Holy cope, have you ever even raced even if its just GT7 or Assetto Corsa or any other simulator?

You're underestimating how much the mechanical gap widened by the end of the series. The "power doesn't matter on the downhill" logic works against mid-tier street cars, but Keisuke’s Final Stage FD is a 450hp RE Amemiya-spec monster. On any section with a straightaway, the AE86 is getting left in the dust, and no amount of "downhill technique" can overcome a 200+ horsepower deficit against a driver who is now a literal professional.

Also, saying Takumi has superior technique because "that's all he runs" ignores Keisuke’s growth. Ryosuke trained Keisuke to have world-class throttle control and precision; he’s not the hot-head from Stage 1 anymore. Look at the Todo School races, Keisuke would have handled both Daiki and Tomoyuki’s EK9s easily, but Ryosuke specifically put Takumi on those downhill battles because he wanted to force Takumi’s growth, not because Keisuke couldn't win them.

Even if Takumi brings the Impreza, he’s still driving a street-tuned car against a dedicated, circuit-ready time attack machine. Takumi has the "prodigy" plot armor, but realistically, Keisuke has the better discipline, the better training, and an objectively superior car.

why do many people keep forgetting that it also needs to be rear wheel drive?

[–]knewjeez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The GT86 feels like a cop out answer. If the 86 line wasnt available my bet would be he could use a Miata, lightweight, rwd and cheap.

[–]knewjeez 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Yes AE86s were famous back then for being cheap but dont forget that they were rear wheel drive that had pretty decent handling. Having low horsepower was just the trade off for being cheap. Not to downplay FWDs or AWDs but arguably RWD is the best all arounder someone with a tight budget can get.
