Ever wonder why Takumi or Bunta have no family? It's because Toyota made them on the 86's assembly line

The "Mass Effect" described in the Mass Effect games refers to the phenomenon of an object's mass accelerated to the point where it travels faster than light. The original inspiration for the "Mass Effect" phenomenon was when the creator of Mass Effect first saw Bunta drift.

Contrary to popular belief, Bunta isn't a fictional character. He is a real person, but in order to meet with him you have to successfully beat him in a race...A feat no one has accomplished yet.

The movie title Die Hard refers to Bunta's inability to lose...in anything.

What we call drifting, Bunta calls the basics of driving.

When we use the term "fast" to describe a car or when we say someone took a corner fast, Bunta chuckles.

For Bunta, the term "fast" has only one definition "himself."

The reason why Bunta is so fast: he is able to travel into all of the possible dimensions and has achieved the quality of being "fast" in all of these dimensions.

"The Fast and the Furious" refers to both Bunta and Dominic with Bunta being the "fast" and Dominic as the "furious"...Hollywood knew that if they used Bunta's name without his permission the whole industry would disappear in an instance and so in a last minute decision the producers under pressure from the executives decided to name Bunta "Brian."

Everyone has heard of the Drift King...but no one has heard of the Drift Emperor...and no one has heard of the Drift God...but everyone knows of Bunta. What people don't know is that Bunta is both the Emperor and God of Drift.

If you've every wondered where the basics of driving and racing came from, ask Bunta. He invented them.

Nothing can travel faster than the speed of light...physics doesn't take into account Bunta.

The video game series "Need for Speed" refers to Bunta's driving style when he runs out of cigarettes.

Whatever happened to Formula 0:
Before Formula 1 there was a Formula 0. Bunta entered the Formula 0 competition and ended up beating every single person by simply breathing in oxygen. The FIA begged Bunta to not participate anymore and after much deliberation, Bunta agreed under a few conditions. The competition name Formula 0 can no longer be used and is henceforth called Formula 1. Every Formula 1 driver, sponsor and official is forced to pay 20% of their winnings or income to Bunta. Every year Bunta is able to challenge an F1 driver of his choice. Failure to comply with these conditions results in Bunta's rage and subsequent arrival to the F1 races.

Contrary to popular belief, Yuuichi's absence in Fifth Stage was actually very accurate to the original story. He unfortunately never survived that all-out ride with Bunta (despite him screaming the entire way down, an otherworld coroner's report estimates time of death to actually be around when the Eight-Six jumped out of the fourth hairpin's gutters on two wheels, maneuvered the lifted wheels onto the fifth hairpin's outside guardrail, then used it as a far superior alternative to the gutter run), and while Bunta used the greatest surgical knowledge known to the 23rd century to try and revive him, efforts were ultimately futile. The best that he could manage was to keep the body and all its cells in perfect stasis - ensuring that any cure found in the future could still be put to use - and then create a biologically unstable clone with slightly altered memories (unaltered memories of that "test run" would've caused most human brains to self-destruct out of the most warped sense of self-preservation).
Every appearance of Yuuichi from then on had in actuality been that same clone, and no one ever told the difference. However, the clone's internals gradually began to wear away due to the nature of its creation, and Bunta eventually had to drive him to a "hospital" for repairs. He then called over someone who owed him favors to watch the gas station in Yuuichi's stead, and his employees were just left thinking their boss was recovering from an illness.

When adapting the tale of Gunma's famous Fujiwara family into a manga, Shigeno actually left out all these details, feeling that they would "stretch credibility". The creative team behind the most recent adaptation saw differently though, and set out to tell the story as it was meant to be told - a story of a man who was close to perfect, but one who still made mistakes, and one who still tried to make up for them. They were, sadly, not given enough of a budget for the 24 episode run that'd have guaranteed an explanation on this, and thus were forced to forego that entirely for the resulting 14 episode season.

Bunta Facts

He can race without opening his eyes and hands. Whatever car he sits in moves on its own.

He can make a stock AE86 go 400HP or higher whenever he likes.

He can do roundhouse kicks with closed eyes.

Racing theories do not apply to Bunta. He is the theory.

He eats cigarrettes.

He uses brake only to spare his opponents' dignity.

Brake pedal is only an accessory to him.

He sues Sega Rosso for using his name in IDAS without the inclusion of '-sama' to it.

He sues Sega Rosso for slowing his time to 30 seconds longer in IDAS.

Shigeno Shuichi did not write the story. Bunta dictated him.

Continue, GO GO GO! laugh.gif

Bunta and Chuck Norris are twins separated from birth.

Remember when CHuck Norris does a push up, he is not pushing himself up, rather he is pushing the earth down.
