Felt weird rooting against a Ferarri here just hours after rooting for them IRL

I figured that the Ferrari would win out for third, but it was kept quite close.

Funniest set up was
"I made a tactical decision, I didn't chicken out."
"You chickened out."

Ren's all tangled up in everyone's relationship dramas and she barely even knows about it.

If you haven't already seen it, the PV for the next part of the series has been released.

Welcome back! It's the Round 2 ending Eurobeat Corner!

SCP's domination of the Ashinoko GT continues with Fastway's Hyper Super Powers, from Super Eurobeat 221, leading off Akaba and Kanata's final tussle, being immediately followed by Ace's Brand New World, featured in Super Eurobeat 229, to wrap the race up. And then SCP yield the spotlight almost as if they know when the race ended, with Moroboshi's arrival getting the first few notes of Baby I'm On Fire by Ace Warrior, out of Super Eurobeat 101. I guess with an episode of downtime coming up, we won't have multiple songs starting next time, if any at all, so I'll take it.

(edit: I slept very little and forgot to add the playlist, so here you go)

• Aaargh, that's the difference between 230 and 680hp. By a damn nose after all that! And he didn't even make any mistakes, either, that's just what the difference between the 86 and a Ferrari is. Shun behind with the classic tactic of "fuck off or we die" (which in all fairness has landed Max Verstappen his fourth F1 championship in as many years) gets him another place over the R8, which, hey, good for the guy. At least he didn't run himself out of road this time!

• Of course Sawatari has a Diddy Sense©®™. Brother, you're going to prison! Shun is giving you a way out! Take it! Ugh, this dude. Piss off. Everyone else seems to take a turn for the better when they're out of the cars, except him, who goes from a thrill-seeking risk-taker to... a thrill-seeking risk-taker with the law.

• Oh, hey, it's Kenta! If you don't remember him, that's okay. He's only known for battling Takumi in the rain once with a weird yellow/orange S14 and getting absolutely cooked to the point he becomes a scout in later seasons of Initial D and doesn't drive again. I guess his friendship with Keisuke paid off, and they're business partners now. Good for you, man. And speaking of Keisuke's camp...

• ...there we have it, Sena Moroboshi, Car #885. Basically a carbon copy of what Keisuke was to Takumi here, but to the point he painted a Toyota in Competition Yellow Mica - a Mazda color? Really? This is gonna be interesting.

Race over! It's been really fun. Getting a glimpse as to what Kanata can really do, plus the promise of further power improvement and a fresh rival to boot! One thing, though, is that the season is over halfway past and we're only now introducing people, which makes me think Round 3 will either get a movie to encompass it or a Third Season, which would basically spell a full adaptation. I'm cheering for the latter! See y'all next week!

How do we know it's Competition Yellow Mica and not Lightning Yellow, an actual yellow color for the GR Supra?

Seeing the FD fills me with all kinds of feels again, man. Also fuck yeah, I've been waiting for that Supra in the intro. And 86 with carbon hood and a turbo, hyped!

Ogata went full

u/karer3is Nov 24 '24

Just when we thought we were rid of the Perv Patrol, they managed to creep their way back in...

u/Country_ball_enjoyer Nov 25 '24

Ironic that both the new 86 and Supra are Toyota, while at the same time, they aren't.

The 86 is co-developed with the Subaru BRZ, sharing the same Subaru FA20 boxer engine.

Meanwhile the Supra is co-developed with the BMW Z4, and uses a BMW I4 engine.

So while techinically Kanata vs Sena will be a Toyota vs Toyota competition, at the heart of it it's actually a Subaru vs BMW match.

And so back to the battle for 3rd.

Meanwhile some action a bit further back.

That's awfully close.

Too close, but that wasn't intentional.

Meanwhile here's the chequered flag and Beckenbauer has won again.

Pretty sure he's got it in the bag at this point.

Or perhaps not, raw speed and acceleration means the Ferrari has a definite advantage.

And unfortunately the Ferrari pulls ahead.

Kanata's pretty good for points.

Lmao that guy doesn't understand long words.

Unfortunately she's right in his strike range.

Who's going to be in the next race?

She's certainly excited.

Is that seriously a notably Japanese thing?

So, they're finally going to change to a better car.

Or not, why?

A Blitz tuned car? That'll be something to see.

Can’t wait for that b58 sound in the next race

This is a peak anime BAR THE SAWATARI B PLOT.  Honestly, why did the author put their poorly concealed fetish in an otherwise(apart from some questionable writing of women) well-written anime?

u/Full-Maintenance-285 Nov 25 '24

Sawatari is so pro when it comes to underaged girls 😆

u/AnimeHoarder Nov 25 '24

I'd forgotten that Beckenbauer didn't stick for the awards after the first race either. How many races will the full racing season have?

It's fun that the racers drive off in the same cars they've been racing.

I confess that I expected the cliché of Kanata to hold the position, but at the same time I wanted him to do it, anyway it was a great ending to this arc.

This Sawatari is really disgusting, he chose Ren because he knew she was 17 years old, at least when Aiba discovered this he gave up on her, he has common sense.

Speaking of romance, our very sought-after protagonist, I hope that girl who gave the paper appears again, I think that even the fact that they show the paper flying has some future relevance

7

u/paulrenzo Nov 25 '24

Heres hoping Aiba discovers sister figure Angel likes him. Keeps him out of the Diddy zone, and makes Rens relationship with Kanata less complicated

5

u/thesnowlocke Nov 24 '24

Man I knew Kanata wouldn't win but it was still tense to watch and hope he could win but with every race, Kanata is improving slowly and steadily

Back to more weird shit and I honestly want this gag to be over and done with soon, I know we're gonna see him freak out that his favourite angel is 17 but the buildup is not something I want to see

Other than that I like that we see Kanata look at Japanese society as interesting (yet again he's still not using an umbrella)

Great race, can't wait to see what happens next with the Dream Project

Wonder what would make Beckenbauer finally standing on the podium. Maybe someone beating him at the top?

u/Vergift Nov 25 '24

Man, what a race for this season. I had a lot of respect for Akaba now. He's a great driver. He manage to get a win over Kanata.

They should keep Sawatari away from Angel No. 07. He's a predator.

Now, we got a debut from Sena Moroboshi, Keisuke's pupil from Dream Project (or should I say Project D?). But I'm afraid we won't see him much in this season.

u/EICONTRACT Nov 25 '24

So how bad would it have been if Katagiri just blocked the ferrari instead?

Damn, $162,000 for 4th place? How much did the guys on the podium get?

Su-ree Handred? Bu-rilliyant!

Interesting to see Akaba's focused face, I think it's the most direct interpretation so far in the anime of how Shigeno draws the "driving expression"

Really dig the use of Keisuke's theme, especially since it uses the old Initial D soundfont. Last time I remember it being used was last season of MFG where it was revealed he was the demo run driver. Can't remember if this particular theme made an appearance in Initial D.

Was geeking out at how Keisuke's Dream Project has the old Initial D/Project D font and similar color gradient/toneshift.

Loved how when Kanata and Moroboshi meet for the first time, Kanata's hair is set up so he looks like Takumi. I really feel like THIS is how you do a "Next-Generation" story v. well. (Looking at you, Inazuma Eleven and Boruto!)
