I don't think they will be showing that one because Nobuhiko says that 86 is beyond this world on the downhill, he says he'll race but don't expect much...so that means Takumi wins with no issues at all

Its like how they never showed Keisuke racing until now, because Keisuke's races were pretty much jokes, and this one is the "FD Battle of Fate" haha

[GooWakJai]

ah yea I truly agree haha, and since there is only 6 eps left in the 4th Stage series I guess it'll take time to develop the story of Cid, EVO Men, and Bunta in his WRX, and did I miss n e other racers in the story or Manga?  Y'know I've thought bout project D's new team members in my mind, so I came up w/ 10 ppl total: Tak, Keisuke, Ryosuke, Zack, Kyle, Touch, Nobu, Wataru, Kai (guy in MR2), and Toru. (isn't this a good combine team )

[Mirage]

Its not a good team because Takumi, Keisuke, and Ryosuke are better than all of them...

and who the hell are Zack, Kyle, and Touch?
and why even bother including Nobu...he's so bad they are going to leave his race out of the anime....

[GooWakJai]

Well seeing how ur a newbie to Initial D and dont seem to know the names in both eng and jap so well....., zack, kyle and touch r based on their english name in the game so Zack would be guy in GTR 32, Kyle is EVO III, and Touch is the Civic type R pro racer=P and well I came up w/ those 10 ppl cuz I was planning on makin a script for my race team.  Like our story starts out by sayin we r the US pro street racers goin to Gunma and challenge the Project D.  Since I have 10 members in my team I might as well add 7 more ppl in Project D for the heck of it.  And if not Nobu, who else would u suggest?  Cid? (definitly not 2 guys from tokyo)

[DashRattleWRX]

What about Kyouichi Sudou and Tomoyuki?


And english names?  Why would anyone want to know the english names.. that's just gay IMO  

[Mirage]

Dash Rattle - I think Kyle is Sudo and Touch is Tomoyuki
oh, GooWakJai, how do you know I'm a noob?
I feel like if you first learned of Initial D thru Tokyopop you really are the noob, because this series has been out for like 3 years...

edit: just remembered there was one more name he used...Zack = Nakazato (Night Kids)

[angelan]

*shudders at the metion of Tak...rather than Takumi* >.< I mean is it so hard? you can spell Roysuke and Keisuke....why not Ta-ku-mi?  

Oh and it's been out for way more than 3 years. The anime alone has been out since 1998, manga ==>1996.

[Elchfaenger]

you can spell Roysuke and Keisuke....why not Ta-ku-mi?  

Look at his signature. wtf is "Ry"?

I principally dont like it, when names are "translated". Especially here, because japanese names are not hard to pronounce

[Mirage]

damn, the anime came out in 1998, wow...

[angelan]

okok no direct bashing (flaming) any member of this forum......maybe by Ry he was referring to some other guy he knows with a similar theory....or the character in his story that he mentioned with the name Ry.

i was merely stating that, like Elchfaenger, i don't like it when people translate NAMES of an ANIME character...i mean, heck, it's a Japanese name, the story takes place in Japan.  If the story took place in Germany, I expect some German names...unless the dude moved there from Japan.  I dont' see the need to change it.  Esp. when two languages have close to no corrolation. >.<  

[GooWakJai]

u guys r just too damn uptight bout names.  Man, try to interact in many diff languages.  Im learnin Initial D through Japanese, Chinese and English.  Not a bad thing to try.

I think this has grown and then beat down the Wolf Rain thread.
