Finally, initial 'D-list'.
bruh lol
r/angryupvote
Lol 😂
@@antipope. r/forgotiwasntonreddit
😆😆😆
"We are rating these cars by the car not the characters." James. Literally buries the Evos and NA Miata because he doesn't like the character that drives it. 😂😂😂
Not to mention the Celica he threw off the board because the drivers a dick lmao
Lets be honest, they were rating damn near every car based on the character that drove it.
EXACTLY what i just commented ..this is a CHARACTER list ..way more than a car list
We should demand a relist! lol
The character makes the car smH
"I can't lose in the rain", he said. "The rain is on my side", he said. F in the chat for my boy Kenta Nakamura.
You know what, I'm gonna say it. Kenta SUCKS. It's impressive how little he knows for how aggressive he is.
Kenta's challenge to Takumi was the only cool about him and then afterwards he became a simp for Keisuke lol
@@SharinganRebirth facts, dude was trash character in the later stages
Dont forget, Kenta ruined his S14 for driving blind
Man, i love the S14 of Kenta.
What I’ve learned from Initial D is, 1. Handling and balance is number 1, mastered these then you can start talk about increasing power. 2. Practice makes perfect, skills/knowledge will makes you a powerful person. 3. If you notice, Ryousuke is basically Sun Tzu in 4th stage. He never pick a fight he can’t win, Project D racers always an unknown, he studied everything about the location and his upcoming opponents, he prepared/planned well, he won races with minimum efforts. Ryousuke is a super genius in Initial D. Also, this anime shows us that nothing is perfect, even a superstar like Ryousuke makes few mistakes.
So basically use a 930 911 turbo and you win
Yeah… reading this I realized this anime taught me my own lifestyle could work
@David …with help from Ryosuke himself
@@jettlucashayes8508 Ew fuck no lol.
@@jettlucashayes8508 Interesting theory. It was already an old car at the time, but dreadfully fast in capable hands. I don’t know how much it eats its tyres though, being rear engined. I would say in an uphill, it’s very likely to win. Not too sure about the downhill…

Love how he’s just “The Mercedes Guy” to everyone lmao
I once killed Mercedes GUY
We hate the Mercedes guy, teamtakumi
@@S62Uce I killed him
I love Takumi's character development. At first he didn't even want to race, he didn't find racing fun but overtime, it grew on him and it became more and more fun!
27:04 "It doesn't matter what kind of car you drive, you can race it." ... as long as your dad is: a legendary, world-class drift racer who has been secretly training you your entire life, and is a master-level tuning mechanic who is constantly modding and updating your tune (for free) to suit the specific race you are about to run.
16:17 “The Night Kids are one of the coolest teams” Guardrails: Doubt
Bro theyre literally the weakest opponent
opinion: Weak =/= not cool Nakazato was pretty badass despite being kinda shit
@@snuckle2421 nah Akina pre-Takumi was definitely the weakest, but I still don’t remember the Night Kids winning anything. Been awhile since they even finished a race without spinning or crashing
@@snuckle2421 I would not say weakest. They are pretty strong
Whats a pedo name
Alternate name for this video: James and his kid brother talk about Anime.
It's not just an anime, it's Initial D, car guy heaven.
and thats ok
Lol
🤣 I agree
That would have allowed me to skip it faster.
Sileighty was the cherry on top for me, the storyline built up to the climax of the race. Especially giving Takumi the feeling of adapting to other courses hes not driving before at a high pace
100%. That race taught him a lot, for sure… and those two girls were so impressively good at working together and with their machine, it's insane.
Ryosukes FC will forever be my favorite car from the series. It’s a major part of why I’m in love with cars in the first place and I will be buying an FC here in the near future
I love how James just yeets the Celica GT-4 cuz "one, he didn't even race, and two, no means no..." Gave me a good chuckle.
Yeah, Its bitter sweet. I imported a GT-Four but I hate that my car is owned by a sexual predator in Initial D. :(

"But everyone that drives an evo in the series is a dickhead" The creators of Initial D really went to great detail to make the show super authentic.

6:13 WHAT!? Toru was my favorite race! He was a character that felt pretty realistic. How many guys have gf that hate their tuned car? His arc is also interesting because he’s a racer who is pretty good, and while racing Takumi, learns that he isn’t one of the people that can become a professional. I’d say that’s a familiar experience to a lot of drivers
Relatable… I know some driving couples and the gf almost always hates racing. But I don't have one myself
@@Speedster04_BRA A car or a gf?
@@spicydice2019 A gf. My car is pretty fast tho. 🥹
Everyone hates Toru because he reminds them of their real life experiences trying to tune their cars with a gf
Thanks to this D list my Fiancé and I have relived the manga in our closets and watched Legends (We had no idea they remade it with the FD brothers and the Initial Stages)....Thanks donut. We literally remembered a lot of our juvenile past. With some popcorn and remembered the short skirts and sideways Rotary of our own beloved JDM / NZ history (just a bit lower than Australia, still have Holden Utes and some sheep) The fact that at our wedding there will literally be every car on this list as were older but kept the cars alive...Is really kind of Romantic....Long live the 86, long live Donut Media. and Initial D.

Great Video. I watched Initial D like 15 years ago. Was nice to hear about all these details 👌

A guy begging his GF for new tires is the most realistic part of Initial D. A day at the drift track you can easily go through 2 sets of tires.
Idk, its kinda unrealistic that he had a gf, he was kinda pathetic and too obsessed with his car to really attract a girl to begin with.
why the fuck is there a bot in here
@@tinystar3010 any1 can get a girl
most of the relationship stuff in initial D were full of big load of crap. And half the races were most definitely shitty asspull, giving takumi plot armor to win races. Like the win against mako. like fuccoff bro. Turned me off so hard. So who cares. Also why cant you be obsessed with your car and still have a gf lol. This guy asking gf for money was simply as real as it could get if you managed to get a good gf. never saw a relationship like that haha, but it would be a good one if there is one hah
@@tinystar3010 not sure whats pathetic about having a passion for doing something you really like
Love to see new faces on Donut, keep up the great content :)
As an initial d fan this video puts such a huge smile on my face. You guys have great personalities.
There are definitely cooler cars in this show but every time Takeshi came around a corner in his R32, with its theme playing, I got chills.
He's got demons in the trunk!
it's my favorite because of the way they introduced the car and the vibe it gave off, it's the reason R32s are my favorite gen gtr too, though ngl I kinda hate the r35
Then he crashes lol
Yes! i was trying to explain this exact thing to my friend who has never watched the show. Glad someone else understands.

This was fun I like this d list.very creative and it's engaging with a lot of different types of people who love art , Anime,cars and bridges the gap between them I for one love cars and art but I've never seen this show and it looks pretty cool. Thanks for such a unique episode.
Totally agree with you guys! Guess for this D-list the stories and the drivers really what determine how cool their cars are!
Yall did Kyoko dirty. Her car was an integral part of the undefeated record of Project D and deserves more respect.
ya ur right. when keisuke got his fd wrecked he got to borrow hers
They really did lose to purple shadow though, if only in the time attacks.
@@damian_cross yeah, you're not wrong
Fax
yeah but singe turbine rotaries are very bad for numerous reasons
I would have ranked that AE85 higher, it beat two S13s while it was stock when Takumi was behind the wheel. That scene made me smile the most tbh.
Well to be fair s13 stock are not much better performance wise so realistically yes with the right driver I can see that completely happening
the 86 wasnt stock tho if you Remember it had Tuned transmisson with shorter gears and also his dad bulit over the years dont forget the wats
@@turbocharged_bro9613 he said about AE85, it is brand new car
Actually it was an S13 and an MR2 in the manga and in the anime, it was changed to an S13 and a 180SX

I love the way you guys do as integrations. So good
I actually liked Sudo while re-watching the anime. You know, he was really cool with Takumi, like, "You've lost, your 86 is just ol' clunker, but i won't accept my victory, come back with a better car". Then Takumi beats him with his 86, and he's just "You win, thank you for such competition, i changed my mind, i'm going to be better, blah-blah-blah". You know it's not about his destination as a character, it's about the way.

Yea hes a rival to ryosuke wich says alot, hes such a cool character in the series, his car is top 3 for me, its a perfect evo

This.
It's true, but that's fine by me. It was fun.
True
it’s james’ show so yea
Yeah this list confused me
I had a corolla E101(technically my parents did, from the year 2000) they never drove fast, so the car looked so innocent like it wasn't meant to be bad and crazy, the same engine powers Takumi's eight-six with the extra pro stuff in it, I was so fortunate to sit on one, one side of it makes it look like such a comfy family sedan, the other side, its a MONSTER
Fun fact Ikeda Ryuji's license plate spells "mu no kokoro" in Japanese which means heart of nothingness. It references his Zero theory.
Wow, really? Awesome!
Hojo's reads "Minna Koroshi", Kill everyone. (ミ= mi & 三 = san look alike, 七 = nana/shichi, 五 = go/ko, 六 = roku, 四 = yon/shi)
Is this like gorowase aka Japanese number puns? Like for example 573 could be pronounced "go-nana-mi" (Konami) and 765 could be pronounced "na-mu-ko" (Namco).
Most of, if not all the characters and their cars are based on real street racers from the 80's and early 90's. As are the races/situations. Ryosuke for example is based on a seldom seen Akagi racer, Mr. Hoshino. Who drove a white FC, the cars are nearly identical with Mr.Hoshino even having a red decal over the rear fender.
Everyone wants to be Takumi, everyone thinks that they’re Ryosuke, everyone thinks other people are Itsuki, but in reality we’re all just Iketani’s Edit: to the countless “no clearly I’m *insert character*” in my replies over the past year That is exactly why you’re Itsuki.

I from Brazil and here nobady knows about initial d. So watching you guys talking about the show it is for me like talk to two friends to a show that I like. Thank u guys!
7:40 you got that wrong, takumi didn't win because Ryosuke tuned his car down, he tuned it down so it would be more controlable in the downhill, he would loose even more if he didn't tune it "down"
It's actually because of his front tire
@@farisaniq1415 the front tire is the reason he lost, yes, the down tuning of the engine he did before the race was so he could control the car better and have a better chance to win (but still didn't)
@@vdfritzz Tire wear is important, and Takumi didn't have this problem because he had just learned to steer less to maintain drifts. Ryosuke really didn't think he'd keep up after being passed… …also me talking about tire wear, who's late to maintenance like all poor Brazilians
I found out about Initial-D because I saw a glimpse of a clip of it on an early Up to Speed episode, and immediately said "WHAT WAS THAT", and looked it up. It's an obsession of mine now, I listen to eurobeat almost every time I get in the car. The first two seasons and the "season 3" movie are the best, the rest of the show wasn't nearly as good although it definitely had it's moments. For example, AE86 VS EK9 in season 4 was the best race imho, it just has a magic to it. The length was right, it didn't stretch into 4 episodes full of boring monologue, and the absolute banger of a song Forever Young was allowed to play out fully...when those headlights pop up and you hear "FOREVEEEER" it gives me goosebumps, and it was a perfect fit for the race.
That and perfect hero are my fave Initial D songs 💪😎
Wasn't in Initial D but Blackjack from Hi-NRG Man is one of the best eurobeat songs IMHO
Facts one of the best races imo
Imo the best battle was Ryosuke vs Grim Reaper in Fifth Season. Even though slightly long, it just nailed in the race scenes, music selections, animations, and storyline
felt
Initial D had one of the sickest scenes of showing the interior workings of the cars when they were raced like shifting of gears, opening of intake valve, etc. Dope show 💪💪💪
Yeah I love those engine shots and most especially when the camera goes through the cylinders and out the exhaust
The scene during Keisuke and Go Hojo's battle showing the FD's rotary was so damn cool
@@Powertix Oh yeah, when Wheelpower and Go started playing at that moment and Keisuke's aura showed up, DAMN! The hype
@@thelaw_00 Final Stage nailed those scenes

The scene where he passes with his headlights off in the middle of the night to stop the other guy from blocking him from his line and and turns them on when he’s on his door… still gives me chills bro… “FOREVERRRRRR”
Turn off the pop up headlight to reduce drag is just too much for me.

That’s what a car’s about, my friend
To be fair the cars in initial d are made to be characters, and the drivers are just part of what they are. You can’t separate what the driver made of their ride in this show or a lot of these turn into average sports cars that don’t impress anyone.
Sad
it would be boring otherside

The Sileighty is probably one of the coolest builds if done right- or a Onevia.
Onevia was a factory thing in the us. Pop up front on a coupe
For me it's the strawberry face all day. Either that or an S14 Kouki front on a 180 body. Sileightys are also awesome though.
To me, the 240SX coupe/Onevia almost looks like a Superbird without the wing. I’m kind of suprised that nobody has built a bosozoku Onevia with a massive wing on the back. XD
i need to know, mathematically why is James so funny and wholesome, we need Jeremiah to tell us so that I can have my own Pumphrey chillen on my desk next to me
he's the improv king
Its because he's from KENTUCKY.
This is why they should’ve never pulled him from hosting bumper 2 bumper terrible mistake they made
Dunno if we can he just that good
It's something I like to call "hit and runs" basically he does little jokes here and there when you don't expect it and doesn't dwell on them unless they're subtle
Thanks for appreciating my ride! ;-)
Here’s some Initial D related trivia: in front of the real-life sign where Mako and Iketani meet, there is a blue Sileighty on display. It used to have a Initial D Mako wrap, but they changed it a month or two ago. Also, if you drive the Usui Pass, the actual restaurant is maybe only a mile down the road from where the race was supposed to end. Also, there’s a Japanese engineer who managed to find an AE85 in great condition, and has been modifying the hell out of the 3A engine. New carburetor, and swapped in a Hayabusa head. Now it revs off the stock meter’s scale, but he thinks it’s over 9000.

and yes, turbo lag is not the best partner in package. They're the enemy that cause you to single life

The moment characters started being judged I knew the bell was ringing for the Celica GT-Four. I just didn't expect it to be on the floor bottom.
Yep... Same. Such a shame they only showed the GT Four for that character... Maybe it was a representation of how they felt about the whole cheating/turbo scandal?
Love this video so much
I go to school at Green River Community College and am part way through getting my associates degree in Mechatronics, when one day I walked out of my classroom to wait for my ride when I saw a silver Honda NSX parked in the lot. At the time I was 17 and didn't know how legendary the NSX was, I had never heard of it. Then I watched your video on the NSX and I was like, "WHAT!? That was in a college parking lot!?" After that I knew I just had to get a picture of it, but sadly I haven't seen it since.
James and Jimmy: “No place on top of the board for a-holes!” Also James and Jimmy: Puts EG6 near the top when Shingo literally intended to crash onto Takumi!
Both really horrible things, but kidnapping a girl to force himself on her is lowest of the low. Takumi at least had a shot at defending himself. It's not like Mogi could have packed heat, this is Japan not the US and even then most don't see the need.
Shingo also swallowed his pride and admitted that he was a cocky asshole. He was also absolutely crushed when he banged up his beloved EG6.
Shingo, while still being an ass-hat, eventually came around to support Takumi.
Shingo actually wasn't that bad especially if you watched extra stages 👍
@@littleskeleton420 he’s an absolute Chad who took losing with stride and became a better person afterwards. Not only that, he’s still one of the best drivers in the series and rocks a humble EG6 SIR with tasteful mods.
When james got to Bunta he talked so happy about him being Takumis dad 😂😂😂
All the support BTS, talking calmly- Jimmy trash talk & drag the Supra through the mud so asking prices may become reasonable hah
BUNTA IS EVERYONES DAD!!

C-121 scene is still dope to this day so yea, the SilEighty is very cool and plus points for its driver and navigator
One of the best parts of the show is when Takumi does the "blind attack"

As a James myself, I can agree with this list and it’s so dope that James’ favorite car is the Evo which is my favorite as wel, damn it’s no wonder I’m a huge fan of this channel.
