I watched the 5th season again and in the last episode. it shows that Keisuke and Takumi became pro's.

in their street race, often Ryoske would say " In the circuit where everything is fare, Fujiwara has the disadvantage but this is a street race"

he said this again and again like when takumi battled it out with Tomo, the guys who beleive the " zero" theory .

but now that they are in the pro circuit where the terrain is a repetetive race track,d o you think they would still be competetive?

what do you think?

The problem Ryosuke was referring to with Tak was that he was driving an under-powered vehicle. Give Takumi a car with sufficient bhp and he'll make minces even out of Schumie himself~!

I think of Takumi as the next Ayrton Senna... he basically thinks he has a god-given right to win. And rightfully so... why? Because he's a street king, the master of the asphalt fight. And even though his ethics as a driver are quite noble, ie. he doesn't even bump... at heart he's an unrefined beast that would trample his own father under all four rubbers if the race was at stake.

Keisuke grew up under Ryosuke's wing. He's a classically trained driver, hence his inability to do simple yet outlandish moves like the AE86 blind-attack.

Where Keisuke gets his ace to think outside of the box, lies within his hotblooded temper boiling under his skin. That's the key to get him into thinking like Fujiwara, and ultimately break out of his conventional thought process to strike his opponents like a hawk~

Takumi thinks he has a god-given right to win?

All the dude does throughout the series is concede that he doesn't think he deserved to win, nor that he's faster than anybody. The first time he ever expressed a desire to win for the sake of winning (not for gas) was to even the score with Sudoh in Third Stage.

That seemed to be more about "the car is actually good" than, "I could win this".

Well, he explicitly says "I've never wanted to win this badly."

But maybe.

What about the Shingo race? Didn't he express his desire to win after Shingo pulled a few dirty tricks? Like he says something along the lines of not wanting to lose to Shingo.

QUOTE (Spazzy's Automotive Photo Dump)
The best way I've found to put it is that among all those stacks of tires, I found a slice of humble pie. I don't think much of who I was as an enthusiast back when I owned my DSM or my first Evo, either, for the record. Not that I wasn't a nice guy, but I had a chip on my shoulder with no real experience and little knowledge to back it up. I'd never competed above 60mph in a parking lot. I didn't know how actual racing worked, or how actual prepped cars came together from a blank canvas. I would even now argue that I still don't have a complete picture. My deflated ego and fresh reboot were what opened me up to learn all that I have, however.

Year after year I made stupid mistakes and never learned because I never wanted to listen, not that there was anybody there to do more than make off-handed comments. Not until recently were people willing to sit me down and drill into me that I was indeed being stupid. I just want to be able to make sure others don't repeat my mistakes. The funny part is that it's always the little, one or two line trivial things you learn from those more accomplished than yourself that stand out the most, regardless of how much all of it sinks in.

I have this feeling that if they fight the Pro's such as Tomo in a race circuit . I think Takumi and Keisuke may loose. in the 4th stage, The reason why Ryoske chose takumi to race Tomo is that Tomo is a very good Pro. and Keisuke's driving technic is similar to that of a pro so if they battle it out, Keisuke might loose, he choose takumi because takumi is a a born and bred street specialist .

now that the mountain road set up is thrown out of the window in exchange of a closed circuit, Takumi's advantage is gone. Keisuke's style will be compared to other Veteran pro's so their chances are slim .

This is what I think

The only hitch there is that Tomo admitted that he was in a slump when Project D challenged the school. He was not at the top of his game.

Tomo's got a nervous tick... he keeps rubbing his nose! xD

Otherwise, Tomoyuki is one of my favourite characters in the series; simply cause of his emotional progression as a character. Started out saying meh to the Todo Juku Pops, and ended up having lots of fun technially messing around with Tak~

Granted Takumi had some sort of progression himself; but he's as exciting as snails riding a slow-mo machine.

...and I just learned what the word rands is. Kind of like dank, either that's super kiwi~speak or xiao is the most out of the loop person on the internet?

Here's a dank rands xiao doing pull ups like Solid Mogi to level up his wig-colour:

That's why he got the nickname Touch for the English release of Arcade Stage. biggrin.gif

Did anyone notice they changed his voice actor for his appearance in Fifth/Final Stage?

Oh man, I really gotta get around to playing IDAS more often... my secret shame as an Initial D fan, is that in my entire life, I've only played the Initial D arcade no more than six times... IDAS 3 though. cool.gif

Touches his nose, touches other peoples' cars, touches animals crossing the road in the middle of a race, touches Kyoko's butt... (that was in the Final Stage BD Extras that never made it to home video) XD

Anyone remember the Funimation foo-pah where Daiki calls Tomo father...

YOUTUBE ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQCR93VJxR0 )

I wish Funi would release 5th and Final with the same lack of care they had for Fourth Stage... Shinigami Rin would probably have a super low pitch Barry White voice, which would totally make me spray soda all over my screen everytime I'd watch it~ laugh.gif

The fact that you played IDAS Ver. 3 as the only IDAS makes up for the experience.

To be honest, Takumi is prettymuch a dick. Being all emo just for driving an AWD the first time. FFS. If Keisuke becomes gets the podium frequent after becoming pro he deserves it. Takumi can go and do his D1 or whatever.

LOL. Don't even. I may be a lot more humble than I was, but I'm also a realist. When I say I'm not fast, it's because I'm actually not that fast. laugh2.gif laugh2.gif
