- In this episode of JDM Masters Initial D series, fiction versus real location, we bring you to the setting of the Fifth Stage battle of Project D against Spiral Zero’s Z33 and S15.
Nanamagari (七曲り) is the home course of Team Spiral. It is actually the Old Tokaido that spans Hakone and Odawara in the Kanagawa prefecture. It is perhaps well known for its 13 consecutive hairpins.
Project D's penultimate battle with Team Spiral was held here during the rainy and foggy weather. - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
It's crazy that Initial D is based off of real life, just imagine back in the 80s and 90s people coming to meet at these mountains for a nice night of drifting. Japan has some of the best driving roads in the world, no wonder drifting started here.
I am glad the late night car culture of Japan is still around, its just much more underground now.
Do you know that all the characters in initial D is based on legit people
My cousin, who lives nearby this mountain in JP, still meets up with his friends to drift on the mountains, as well as on legit tracks btw. The drift community is well and alive :D
@@mr.fingerwithasmileyface3584
Yeah, Takami is based of the actual drift king, Keiichi Tsuchiya.
@@PedroomSessions
Yeah, the actual circuits in Japan are amazing, but nothing beats drifting the mountain passes late night with your buddies. You can go 2-3 hours outside of Tokyo and find some untouched roads. Tourist don't normally venture in the country side where the nice roads are.
Cant forgot the Wangan in the city though, different style but still fun.
@@indigoism6089 he's not
you know anime is a big deal when you have two grown men travel to japan and talk about a road that appears in said anime.
euro beat intensifies..
ivan they live in japan I’m pretty sure
Other people: 'Wow this is a nice road'
Initial D fans:
Eurobeat intensivies
*running in the 90s*
one word full of meaning "Bunta"

"shobu da hojo gou" -takahashi keisuke 5th stage
These are 2 Diehard Initial D fans.. no doubt
Over here where I live (Catalunya, Spain) there's many people who do touge driving every weekend similarly to initial D. I participated for a while but I had an accident a while back and now I'm taking a break. Ironically I wasn't going fast when I crashed, I just went over some ice patch and lost control of the car and hit the guard rail. Anyways the driving is usually very dangerous and the cars are usually more powerful than my 2.0 200hp n/a type r so I basically feel I shouldn't do that stuff anymore, however it's really addictive and the roads here are unbelievable.
Agreed, there is something addicting about driving fast.
@@indigoism6089 yeah. But just like initial D it's very easy to mess up and have an accident and wreck your beloved car. The guys I go with don't give a fuck but they have more money than me with full insurance and way more modern and more powerful cars. Still right now I miss a lot going out with them. I guess eventually I'll go back but when the weather is warmer.
Galiza is another big place to do the touge!

@@THECHUPITO6666 I haven't been there but I just read it's the place where the most powerful cars are bought in average in all Spain.
I always thought inital D must have a real background, but never knew the anime is so detailed to real locations. I want to drive there with my 350z. Greetings from z nation Germany
will be nice to see you up here on my local roads in Tochigi
Petition to do a review on Bradford's EK9
Amazing!
Enjoying this.
Keep up the good work.
JDM for life!🔰🇯🇵
INITIAL-D forever!💯🏁
Love from PAKISTAN ♥️
Yo man not trying to be rude but this -> 🔰 means beginner driver not JDM
Try to cover most of initial d before moving on to MF Ghost. Covering 4th stage courses would be great especially with the god hand and god foot. Usui pass would be interesting as well.
_i lost my sh*t when they said “tea shop” instead of tofu shop_
Why
@Jordan Robshaw what are u talkin about? O_+
@Jordan Robshaw my brudda they had a tofu shop it was based after, or some shop at least
@Jordan Robshaw the one and only
@Jordan Robshaw If i told you Id have to K- _you_ lol and I don't know how many 1UPs you got left so...
I love you guys!
Please don't stop and let us live the dream! For all the togues 🙏
I took a tour 2 months ago in Japan and we were getting a ride on a bus down to Shizuoka. my jaw just DROPPED when the bus driver was driving on these narrow roads. It would be so fun in just about any car (or even bus in this case) to just drive on it. You see it in animes, you see it as real life pictures, and you even see videos of people driving on those roads but all those just do not compare to seeing those roads in person. Eye opening experience.
I love your knowledge about Initial D and the actual real life place. So awsome!
Awesome in-depth video, thanks and looking forward for more!
Happy New Year.
Please keep these up! I didn't get a chance to visit Hakone last time but I'm definitely putting this on my bucket list for my next visit to Japan
Love the content guys keep up the good work. I miss the good old days in Japan when more people were drifting and cars were dirt cheap. Nowadays all the cars are ultra expensive with Canada and the U.S. importing. With all of us getting older, cops cracking down and the automotive industry changing to eco friendly it just seems like younger people aren't into cars here as much as they were in the past. Present day just isn't what it was 😔
It's actually the other way around - companies aren't making cheap sports cars anymore because younger people aren't nearly as interested in cars AND MORE IMPORTANTLY don't really have the money to buy new. Econoboxes and crossovers have always been in demand, and sadly that's what sells... although at the same time there's been a bit of a trickle-down effect where companies are starting to try and make their mass-market cars at least somewhat sporty as well - like Mazda and Honda have been doing this whole time.
@@VestedUTuber 👍🏾
Really love to see that high speed stage where Ryosuke and Grim Reaper battle it out. It's on Hakone as well if I'm not mistaken, i might though since i haven't seen the anime in quite awhile.
I'm sure it's coming - Hakone Turnpike is maybe only 20 minutes from Nanamagari.
Capt. Bradford-San thank you for the amazing coverage of an amazing country and culture! I have been a huge fan of the Initial D comics and anime series and to see these roads come to love is just breathtaking! I hope to see them for myself one day!
While I’m happy to see a Honda on these amazing roads, you couldn’t track down a Toyota AE86 for this one? 😉
Keep up the great work!
He's from Bradford?
TelevisedChaos his name is Bradford
as always top notch quality and informative content. Keep up the amazing work guys
Man I am loving these videos. Awesome work guys.
So glad i subscribed! Loving this channel!
I love this episode boiz! .. the first one was just as great.. thanks for the upload
Iroha would be dope! Covering the first “jump” that Kai takes in the SW20 would be cool.
@Jordan Robshaw LMFAO
Thank you for the videos, keep em coming!
Awesome video, Captain!
I would love to see it in person. Thanks for the tour around japan and comparison from the anime to reality.
During my time in Hakone I did see and drive on Nanamagari and learned the following (though a few anecdotes may not be the most reliable source, make of it what you will.)
-The drifted road is called the Seven Hairpins because drifters would primarily use the seven hairpins above the turn before the road crossed under the National Route bridge.
-Drifting was primarily done uphill on the hairpins alone, and seldom or maybe never downhill (believable as going downhill on this road, you do feel how steep it is even compared to other "touge".)
5th Stage made the road much more comfortable looking than it is and the battle against Okuyama felt cut short. Still, a nice video and I'm happy to see the locations compared side by side.
I'm just amazed with the local that explain with fluent english. Good job sir!
Zero theory actually makes sense, whether it's a real life thing or creatively imagined.
I love these series! Keep it up, guys!
Shomaru pass from second stage would be an amazing course to cover
I was here driving an EK9 in late November - getting to Hakone from the north you could see the fog from Gotemba - the fog in Initial D was definitely not a stretch of the truth. We were there for a few days and every morning was this foggy. But it was a gorgeous area when the sun came out! We purposely stayed about 5 minutes down the road from Nanamagari so we had to go up and down it often. ;)
Thank you for this amazing video!
great video, enjoy watching it
Love the channel.
this Video was so cool! Please keep doing those
Quality content down here more of this please.
I don’t know what stage you should do next but please keep making these
thank you for these awesome videos
I love Your talks about initial D nd their different techniques..
I guess Keiichi Tsuchiya also participated in many Street races back then and he must be very popular..
One more rumour i heard about Takumi Fujiwara is that his Dad was a Cocaine smuggler and he Tuned his car to our run any cop car on Touge.. That's why he also trained his son to out run any cop..
That's also makes sense to me because they can't maintain a race car on mere Tofu delivery shop..
So dope, love some initial D.
And mountain drives are always welcome...
very details discussion. need to rewatch initial D and comeback here to catch up
It wasn't Ryosuke who thought about fog, it was Keisuke
Loved the video!. Saludos desde CostaRica 🇨🇷
The Iroh touge with the inside hairpin jumps from the sw20 race. It'd be cool if you could find someone who had atleast attempted the shortcut. Yes I know its an anime, but as you guys said in your video the racers were often based on real people, the roads are based on, or actually are, real roads. I find it hard to believe that something so nuts was something he came up with completely out of the air for the manga, I would bet that someone has at least tried it.
going by chronological order, Nagao Touge would've been next, but i'm just glad to see more of this content :)
12:28 Perfect sync
Actually, not all of the Initial D battles take place during the summer. Stage 2 and most of the Stage 3 movie take place in the fall, with the rematch between Takumi and Ryoske taking place in the spring.
Yes! Pls cover MF GHOST, i feel like the coverage on that has basically stalled. I really also want the translations to pick back up again
Man I would've loved to be a part of the street racing scene in the late 90s. Shit looked like so much fun to watch.
I loved the authenticity of Initial D. The cars were amazing. Awesome to see the exact roads they raced on. Are there any other car related anime, besides Wangan Midnight, that I should check out?
Hmm, counting corners ... you will love the Usui Pass :-)
These vids are amazing. I can't wait to see the mountains in Tochigi and Saitama (of course only if you can!). I plan to go see them all myself one day.
P.S I really want to see the mountain pass that's in Nasushiobara. I still have no idea what the actual name of the pass is but it's the one where Takumi has to pass Daiki due to the tyres losing grip.
Super cool!
Hi, is there gonna be more real life initial D comparations and chat in the future like this, maybe from older stages? You guys did really good job with this one. btw does anymone know the song from the intro? One day i need to visit japan for the thick motorsport culture. cheers
Visiting Japan this spring and would love to drive in Hakone, was curious if there is any place nearby to rent a DC2 ITR
@Jordan Robshaw I had to cancel the week Trump closed Europe's Borders :(
Nice video!
Very cool channel about streetrace culture of Japan!
Wow I'm Impressed
Nice to see that the Initial D fanbase and spirit is still alive and going strong
You said he was going about 120 kmh around the corners. When I used to street race in highschool we would go down roads that were similar to togue, I was able to take corners at 100 mph (~160kmh) that the recommended speed was 25 mph (~40kmh) so 120kmh (~75mph) is pretty believable to me.
This road looks so busy that I can’t imagine having much fun on it.
because this is on day, they were racing at night also they might just close the road, in the anime, it was earlier age than it is now
Where do I download ryousuke & zero theory?
I would like to see winter Haruna. Like in 3rd stage
Love it when that guy says "in my opinion", means just stop and listen every time :-)
What is the name of the music track at around 12:54 mark?
We will be doing the fun2drive thing in Hakone in April. Can't wait.
This channel is top content
Alllll I wannna say isssss
Thanksss for shuichi shigeno for making such a hard work for us to watch the legendary
INITIAL D
What is the song at the beginning!? I could definitely attack some corners to this!
I'm a huge fan of your work JDM Masters!
Please please please can you do episodes on the:
Mitsubishi FTO Version R 1997 - 2000 in Manual
AND
Mitsubishi GTO Twin Turbo 1996 - 2000
Please bring awareness to the world for these underrated gems by Mitsubishi.
Wonderfull
as for shinji inui, i guess he actually realized takumi's abilities aka aura through his own description. most watchers hated this since it seems so off-topic and shounen-ish from what initial d supposed to be but keep in mind that shinji was said as a genius(likely waaaaaay more genius than takumi) and some genius person tends or likes to describe something with their own method.
I love this road!
Great video boys, im thinking of going there for a trip, hire a car, and just drive this roads. Got a question, why they call mt haruna a akina?
Kamera arkası eklemeniz renk katmış beğendim
Merry Christmas 🎄🎁❄️🎊
You both need to come out to my region and run my road. The US has very similar roads to the ones in initial D. You'd be surprised how fast you can run them when most people would think you cannot go that fast, this road is to tight but we do and it's a blast
Hey what do u guys think about TOGG the new Turkish car ?
Great material. Can you do in future Skyline R32 GTR review? Thank you!
七曲り峠👍良くできました💯
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
My interpretation of the fujiwara zone is like a point where the car is supposed to be braking but instead it accelerates. Like Ryouske said Fujiwara has an extreme sense when driving his 86, and he knows the exact points where he has to brake and where he can accelerate, and that was increased when he started driving the impreza which is a 4wd. So in anime logic he managed to absorb the cornering style of a 4wd into his rwd car and manage that insane exiting speed in the corners.
Akina in winter where takumi blast thru the mountain on snow tyres defeating the celica st205 gt4
I would like to see for the next video that they analyze the reality and fiction of Tsubaki's road, it seems like an extreme road and the definitive test for Takumi and Keisuke.
NICEEEE
7:53 what’s that like ramp thing I’m just curious
i wanna see the 50/50 dry leave piling up at iroha slope, takumi vs kai
Japonic Team 💛❤️🇹🇷
how's being driven by the R35 ?
You have cool vids hope I could meet you someday in Japan 🇯🇵
White Evo 6 is my dream car. Also a 240z. :D
Cool
New subs from me
We really need some stage of initial d become legal, like for WRC, or japan rally something like that. So we can see real race without breaking any law.
Can you next review the Hakone Turnpike where Ryosuke and Rin Hojo battled?
new subscriber here 💜
you should really make a collaborative video with noriyaro :)
ok so uhh is there gonna be a part 3 ??
Yes.🤗
Are you gonna do akina
That evo 🤩
