There are so many other hidden points. Of course, as you pointed, Haruna is the real name of Mt. Akina (located in Gunma). And the Aki in Akina means Autumn (that's why Takumi is called Autumn Lord. It's so clever I want to cry. (By the way the Haru in Haruna means spring lol)
@@rickyRofficial I always thought No Loser was inspired by No Good Racing. No loser drives EVO's only and No good racing only drives Civics. Also they both are in Osaka and their names both have No in it. The reason they never used Hondas was because they don't like to be associated with street racing.
It's also worth noting Lightning Shift doubles as a reference to the mainline Shutoko Battle games, where he is the leader of Diamond Image between TXR1 and TXR3. In TXR3, it's stated his 86 was totaled, hence why he drives a Starlet in that game. Similarly, the Downhill Guys in the Kaido Battle games are members of the Rolling Guys throughout the Shutoko Battle games. And of course this doesn't even bring up the more obvious case of the 13 Devils appearing as bosses. As for another possible reference, the rival Pretty Boy in Akagi seems like a reference to Kenta Nakamura, as he drives an S14 and is mentioned to be an apprentice to Akagi Blue Sign (the RedSuns stand-in).
U forgot to mention the Usui Battle reference for Mako, the "Full On C121" is the corner where she usually goes high speeds and where no one except Takumi has matched
Just relating to fun facts, or maybe an idea, but Yokohama is filled with Racing Lagoon references; Legendary Schneider (Slasher) may reference 3 RL characters at once
19:43 Funny thing about them : They are kinda like the NO LOSER from Osaka (in Shutokou Battle 01/TXR 3) as in, they are LITTERALY an army of Lancer Evolution...and it's funnier when you know they moved to Tokyo in Shutokou Battle X/Import Tuner Challenge...
Genki is really clever to slip some reference mostly for Initial D From Cars, Tracks, Rival Info, and etc This game makes you feel it's an Initial D Games but NOT Initial D games
a funny coincidence is that takuya is on hakone, which is the final track project d races on. funny cause this game came out a solid 5+ years before the end of the initial d manga edit: you also couldve brought up the gutter mechanic and the leaf piles in nikko (which i presume affect your traction, similar to takumi and kai's first battle)
The gutter mechanic is non-existent in this game and I can't really take the leafs as a reference, all the tracks presented at autumn have leaf piles and other racing games not related to initial D at all have this.
the biggest idea that i had with this game is to make a forum, where u could upload ur save file , with your ghost run and ur time , and everybdoy else can download it , load it , and race against your ghost , and we can then get fastest people on each track , and the best drifters too . it would be like " touge tournament " stuff . beacuse with ghost mode option save , its really doable
the same Takuya we're also seen in Racing Battle C1 GP as one of the bosses in the game, and also he used to led a team in TXR installment called "Diamond Image"
This is cool, I recently managed to buy a brand new copy of the Japanese version. I had a pirated version of the JP version when it came out, but also bought the European release. Only problem is that the Euro version had a messed up translation in places, also you couldn't use the bosses paintjobs on your own cars anymore. I completely forgot the game literally had the Initial D AE86 with the graphics in it. Now I just have to get PS2 emulation working because I don't have a TV that works with my old PS2
Also, they eliminated two rim brands (Racing Sparco and Speedline Corse), which they replaced their rims to Yokohama Advan AVS rims for rivals that use the said rims.
@@jskylinegtr34 Must be a licensing thing if they removed those in the Euro version. Although pretty sure Sparco had like it's own Japanese sub brand with stuff purely made in Japan. Thats a shame though seeing as there are quite a few Euro cars in KB3. I did get it working on an emulator but honestly I couldn't get the controls to where I would like em, for some reason it was way too twitchy. So I ended up playing SB01 instead.
@@jskylinegtr34 Generally speaking, the localized versions of these games tended to release a couple years after the original Japanese release, and by then some of the licenses would have expired. It's why Gemballas were absent in the export releases of KB3, as well as several European cars/makes were also absent in KB1 and 2's export release.
@@fightxer9700 weebs that got into it after 5th stage was announced / aired are cancer to society. My friends and I have known about the ID references since release and kids nowadays are acting like they've just discovered fire LOOL
Hi, tried to find music that plays in part with Myogi. And as far as I can see, you added a list with the music you used, but I couldn't find the music that played in the Myogi part. Could you attach a link please? And if it doesn't hard, I liked the choice of music in the video about "over rev!", and would also like to know the name of the track, and if possible get a link. your videos are the best!
"the punks from tokyo" are the "antagonist" of this game, they came from another place with great machines to conquer, you can see that watching the intro, those cars coming from the wangan...
They are the same game. Kaido Battle 2 was never released in America and the Kaido series in general has some weird naming conventions, so its easier to just call the games by their Japanese names.
Kaido Battle 3 is the original game, has more content, the cars are named how they do exclusively in Japan, uses Kilometers for distance and speed, the title screen is the original., etc.
@@justinshivrattan2391 No, because the Japanese game is in japanese. I call it by its original name because that's the real one so I pay respects to Genki and the japanese folks by doing it. Also, TXRD2 sounds a bit ridiculous. Of course I always add the game name in description and I also have the japanese game.
in japanese version u can unlock boss vinlys , and when u pass a game 100% u have advanced new game , where u start with more cash and stuff ... crave did a pretty sloppy job on translation , thats what ive heard , btw i also have japanese iso file , and i stick to i t. and what most people dont know , that in japanese version most of the settings text is also on english , cuz japanese people also use words like , clutch , engine, brake , etc in their regular japanese language

Fun fact: Another RedSuns inspired theme was also in TXR3 and Street Supremacy under the name Rotary Revolution (CMIIW).
I know, I discovered that and the No Loser were inspired by the Team Emperor because they drove Lan-Evo's on Highway.
@@rickyRofficial speaking of Emperor, this game happens to had FamilyMart versions of Kyoichi & Seiji named "The President" or smth like that

Woah shoot, this was truly great to watch, I’m glad you added so much detail like did either the Over Rev ref video. Keep on posting the good stuff.
I'll retranslate all the rival names for you guys:
-Takuya Hagiwara (Lightning Shift Takuya)
-Kazuya Takenouchi (False 86)
-Ken Yushima (Rev SR)
-Kōji Kamiikidai (Must FR)
-Takumi Okara (Akina-kun)
-Kengo Shōbuzawa (FR Killer)
-Takeo Nakamura (Undefeated Myth R)
-Ryūji Hashimoto (HC Top)
-Ryūichi Hashimoto (Dr. Clever)

The rival SS Middle Age is also reference to the manga SS, to my knowledge.

Thank you for this, I’ve always wondered what are the Initial D references that were put into this game
Genki is really clever to slip some reference mostly for Initial D
From Cars, Tracks, Rival Info, and etc
This game makes you feel it's an Initial D Games but NOT Initial D games
Thx for giving the manga footage man
Sayuki my childhood anime waifu crush not gonna lie
You forgot about Akagi's Pretty Boy (aka MASAYUKI ISHII).
This rival is a parody of Kenta Nakamura from Redsuns.
Hey there! Could you do something similar for Shutokou Battle/Tokyo Xtreme Racer too?
a funny coincidence is that takuya is on hakone, which is the final track project d races on. funny cause this game came out a solid 5+ years before the end of the initial d manga
edit: you also couldve brought up the gutter mechanic and the leaf piles in nikko (which i presume affect your traction, similar to takumi and kai's first battle)
However, it's not the same Hakone route. The Kaido Battle route is in the Kowakudani district while the Initial D route is on the Turnpike road.
@@alexsaffamerica is it not? still the same mountain tho
The gutter mechanic is non-existent in this game and I can't really take the leafs as a reference, all the tracks presented at autumn have leaf piles and other racing games not related to initial D at all have this.
@@ZA-7 huh i couldve sworn this game had a gutter mechanic. must be placebo on my end then
the biggest idea that i had with this game is to make a forum, where u could upload ur save file , with your ghost run and ur time , and everybdoy else can download it , load it , and race against your ghost , and we can then get fastest people on each track , and the best drifters too . it would be like " touge tournament " stuff . beacuse with ghost mode option save , its really doable
Wow very interesting thx for sharing the info ^-^
the same Takuya we're also seen in Racing Battle C1 GP as one of the bosses in the game, and also he used to led a team in TXR installment called "Diamond Image"
there is one differences between Takuya's and Takumi's AE86. Takuya's AE86 is kouki, and Takumi's AE86 is Zenki.
'Adult Night' as NightKids sounds like some sort of Strip Club name ngl
That sounds so simple yet effective.

Can you list all the songs used? I love the BGM!
I found Full metal alchemist reference on NSX
If only the final boss for 100% completion is a panda AE86 Trueno on Haruna instead of some weird Gundam looking R34 on Hakone…
Or Bunta’s Subaru STi
when a weeb complain bout the final boss:
@@fightxer9700 Oh but TXR gets a free fucking pass for having a literal Wangan Midnight reference as their final boss, do they??

Isn’t haruna course is the akina reference? I mean mt. haruna in real life is mt. akina

6:37 This game was released on 2005 so no... the references made up to Fourth Stage.
I thought king sh*t to bunta XD
i think they translated original japenese version of this game really bad . i wish if someone can make video with original japanese version
they even removed the Gemballa Boxster thingy (Turbo R-GT 320) from the translated version, which is quite understandable due to licensing issues
@@adlibbed2138 they removed a lot of stuff , in American and Eu versions
Also Speedline and Sparco rims were removed, many rivals use the AVS T6/T7 rims instead.
