*withdrawal symptoms start to appear while waiting for the next update*

IKEDA is the Hakone chief comitee. In this battle i see him like safety car.

If IKEDA act as a safety car then Ryosuke as Alain Prost and Shinigami as Aryton Senna Lol...by the way thanks for the scan fuji_tak....

Nice picture fuji tak, only missing Takumi...

Got ya both beat.

this one is old maybe nineteens years with a young shigeno-san. Now shigeno-san is older.

Pff, you think that's young?! Try something like this...

By nineteens i would say that this photo with his 86 was took during 90's (19XX) when he began to draw initial d.

photo dated from 2009 :

Thinner and older.

His office looks pretty tidy from that image you posted fuji!

Oh wow, what a cute kitty there!!!
Nah, Shigeno was cute in this pic. Reminds me of the young version of Takehito Koyasu. That guy is so.....

Mind you, Shigeno looks to have normal looking teeth...

Huh? You mean Takehito Koyasu's teeth are not normal? I didn't notice that!!!

LOL, either he's one of the lucky Japanese people blessed with good enough genetics to have decent looking teeth, or his parents were really wealthy and could afford to get him braces. Man, the teeth are a real winning/losing factor for me. Some Japanese men and women look really nice/hot/cute until they smile. LOL.

Oh man, that reminds me that this Japanese news/blog site called Japan Probe posted up a link to a page that is a bit of a fetish site for crooked feet (I believe it's called Yaeba).

So Takehito Koyasu, along with many people in Japan, have crooked teeth?
But anyway it didn't affect his voice...

It won't be surprising if in the next chapter death god GTR runs up the FC cause i don't think that death god already push the accelerator. GTR power wasn't seen yet.

In the last page of vol.584 KAORI seems crying and talk to RYOSUKE saying that there is something that she didn't tell him. I wonder what ?

at first i thought that guy was Tsuchiya Keiichi

Initial D Vol.584 Unexpected participation (last part)

It was said on the chapter that :

- Ryosuke went after Kaori and the desire went out.
- Kaori had the fiance whom parents had decided, it might be Rin.
- Kaori didn't want the party that her parents decided.
- Ryosuke didn't want to succeed as doctor to his parents hospital.
- Rin felt dissatisfied about Ryosuke act and has deep grudge.
- The bumper push of Rin Kitajo finally explodes because of this. Instability is fatal and FR is weak to the bumper push.

Finally Death god plans begins. The worst case scenario for Ikeda and Ryosuke.

So basically it was just two rebellious teenagers

aww man i wanna see the scans real bad

Kaori and ryosuke was drinking on hakone bar. And kaori said him tht Rin Kitajo was the man that her parents chose for her. But she was against. Maybe the reason for his suicide. I imagine Rin like a very good party with high social family (GTR32 and NSX in nineties was some high standing cars).

Ah, yes - in Japan, arranged marriages are not uncommon. Lots of young people are too busy to seek out a relationship, so sometimes their family members will ask around with friends or EVEN DISTANT relatives to see if there are any marriage prospects.

Now that Fujitak mentions it, it might have been that Rin may have been introduced to Kaori, and liked her from first sight - Kaori obviously had feelings for Ryosuke and not Rin, Ryosuke didn't have any romantic feelings for Kaori other than that she was his senior/sempai/just friend at medical school and Kaori, from the stress of rejection and from the horror of having to settle with Rin, must have taken her own life.

Rin and Ryosuke may have been friends prior to all this, and Rin may have found out through others that Ryosuke was responsible for her death, and now, Rin wants to exact revenge on Ryosuke.

So it's like this Ryosuke and Rin were friends. Rin wanted Kaori, Kaori wanted Ryosuke, Ryosuke didn't want Kaori, and Kaori committed suicide.

It could be possible that Rin may have preferred that Ryosuke take Kaori, and prevent her death. Even if Rin couldn't be with Kaori, he may have just preferred to see her be happy.

It's possible that Ryosuke was indeed the bad-guy in all this - maybe he wanted to "play around" with Kaori or other girls and wasn't looking to settle down.

Oooooooooooh and the plot thickens.
