"No Matter how much skill you have, it's difficult to maintain it once you have decided that you're good enough

If you aren't continuously looking up and putting in the effort, you can't reach the next level.

I think that's what it means to become a master.

I'm old now. Maintaining what I have is the best I can manage.

But you're still young. You should be able to aim for even higher grounds.

Even if it's just a small clue.

If you can feel and capture something in my passenger seat, I'll be satisfied.

It'll mean that there was a meaning to our meeting."
- Toshiya Joushima (Initial-D Stage 4, Episode 24)

"You might be thinking that you lost in terms of driving technique.

But the result is that you won.

Don't forget your experience from tonight.

You're still learning.

Fujiwara, the stage that you're aiming for is still far ahead.

For now, absorb everything completely.

For the sake of the day that will surely come.

Both you and Project D."
- Takahashi Ryosuke (Initial-D Stage 4, Episode 24)

"Why are you crying? I will protect you no matter what." - Takahashi Ryosuke (Initial-D Stage 5, Episode 9)

"Don't be content with winning on a small stage like Akina. There's a much bigger world out there." - Ryosuke Takahashi (ch.50/First Stage, ep.26)

"Driving technique is not something you can obtain in a few days" - Fujiwara Bunta (Initial-D Stage 1, Episode 2)

"He's good. The rear of the car just leaving the corner looked very steady." - Nakazato Takeshi (Initial-D Stage 1, Episode 4)

"If you like to drive a car, that's enough to be called a Street Racer. If you're a Street Racer, you should have pride in the technique you have learned. If someone challenges you, you accept it. That's the pride of a Street Racer." - Takahashi Keisuke (Initial-D Stage 1, Episode 7)

"Watching him up close, his drift is almost an art form. Four wheel drift at full throttle with minimum counter steering. Do you know how great that is?

"BOOSTAH MEETAH!"

"What's wrong with an AE85? It got an engine, tires, and it runs. Even if it doesn't have power, it can pick up speed on downhill. Why don't you practice hard and learn some techniques?" - Fujiwara Takumi (Initial-D Stage 1, Episode 10)

Oh there are a lot of quotes that I like. I can't really list any in particular but everything that Keisuke says is basically gold to me. *Totally not being a Keisuke fangirl*

"I don't know... Hmm... My perfect guy... He has to drive a rotary like me. And he has to be faster!" - Iwase Kyouko (Fourth Stage Episode 7)

Those who can drive fast only on straightaways are amateurs. Those who've mastered the corners are middle rank. An advanced driver makes the difference not in the straightaways or corners but in the third point.

- Takashi Ryosuke




One of my all time favorite quotes

"It doesn't matter if you win by an inch or a mile. Winning is winning!" -Dom

Oops! Wrong car show!

"No matter how fast the car in front runs, they are not going to fly. Both are cars, both have 4 tires. So since they can turn at a corner, I can also turn at the same speed."
-Takumi Stage 1 Act. 17

Itsuki First Stage Funimation Dub-

"He pumped me from behind"


Sudo Second stage Tokyopoop Dub-

"You guys go first since we have more horse power, it's your hanidcap, but we call it the handicap method."

I especially like these 3:

"The key to downhill succes isn't power, it's balance." - Ryosuke Takahashi

"Beginners can drive fast on a straight line."
"Intermediate drivers can master corners."
"But truly advanced drivers find their own course...and that's how they get ahead."

- Ryosuke Takahashi


And this one is epic

"Racers usually have better skills then normal drivers.
"You can buy expensive cars with money... but you can't buy technique."
"I have much more respect for those with a good driving technique.. than for those with fancy imports..."

- Mako Sato

"I swear, you... How can I put this? I don't know if it's youth or innocence, but once you've decided something, there's no changing it, right?

You're the type that can take corners without hesitation, not even knowing what lies ahead." - Takahashi Keisuke, 4th Stage, ep. 18

To me it was always.

*dramatic pause followed by a puff on a cig* "He still has a ways to go"

Or
"An 86 is a car that trains the driver"

"i am a fagot" - takumi after slobbin buntas knob

Racing is about adapting. In any situation , Believe your instincts. Trust your Experience. - Bunta

you turn da car 50 billion degrees to do a dirft - Bunta to takumi

*”THE R BADGE ON THE BACK IS THE SYMBOL OF INVINCIBILITY! CAN YOU GET CLOSE ENOUGH TO READ IT?”*- takeshi nakazato

"The R badge is the legendary symbol of invincibility!
Can you keep up with it?"
