I love how at 1:57 you can hear Devil Z in your right earbud/headphone and Blackbird in your left. Just a tiny detail but jesus, it really makes you feel part of the show.
I also hear this type of stuff in my headphones. It happens because the earphones/headphones audio type is Mono (if the audio type is Stereo, it won't work)
The Chain Ninja I mean if you watched the anime you’ll know, but I’ll quickly fill you in here basically hiramoto gave up his wife and his child just to go back to street racing.
@@zera0611 Hiramoto didn't give up his wife. His spouse discovered he spent all their savings to buy and tune a car and told him she couldn't take any more of his expensive hobbies and bad addictions, and after this last treachery, she decided to leave him and go back to live with her parents. Hiramoto then flashed back all his life and all his friends, then had a revelation when he thought about his son. As the author said in an interview : "Koichi realized, with much pain and torment, that the Wangan is merely an addictive, destructive world where you can never be the winner, and that the real world, your family, and your feelings, are the most important things that make you a good man, forever." After retiring, Hiramoto sold the car to a rich driver and recovered all his money plus a bonus from the sale. I thought necessary to clarify the "Dragon-R32" story. 👍
This is by far my favorite clip of the whole series. Just that opening shot as the music changes to "Like Hell" after the calmer music in the build up.
Welp initial does not need much horsepower driving its all about touge attacking but the character in Initial D is all about the power of "Luck" if you know what I mean
Ya. I saw sum video a while back about comparing the 2 shows, forgot what it was called. But I think he said sumn how they're not really comparable cause they're different. Initial D is like, heroic stuff and shi. When someone crashes, it's not serious. Mistakes don't really have intense consequences despite racing on mountains. Just win or lose the race. Wangan Midnight has like, a more realistic approach. It should the consequences of going into that racing world n stuff
@@JM-bd9qothat's because Wangan midnight depicts racing that's more dangerous. Driving at 300km/h is way more dangerous than racing on the mountains . Both have a realistic approach on how street racing is they just are 2 different kinds of racing
since i can relate to hiramato so much, i got people who care about me, sacrificing all that due to speed and when giving it all the power down, you start to get flash backs, things you care or cared about, your family, your wife and kid, and you begin to get chills on your spine and you let off the gas, later realizing speed is not as important as your family that you brought to this world.
It's no 1/4 drag, it's maximum velocity. Highways have traffic and bends so skill is still a requirement on the shutoko. The drivers are overtaking in 200+ km/h speed, RWD would've been unstable.
@@Joshua_N-A Yeah, people who think highways are too straight never raced on one. That slight bend you're taking on your way to work can kill you quicker than going off a mountain at mildly competitive speeds.
@@RyuusanFT86 A lot of people have no clue how nerve wrecking it is taking that slight bend on a highway at 200+km/h even if you have AWD. Not to mention these guys are dodging traffic at extreme speed too, just a slight oversteer and you're potentially dead. Overtaking at over 200km/h isn't like overtaking in a city at 90km/h.
@@xylven5918 Yeah. Hell, even driving a Kanjou at a constant 140km/h can be difficult if we're trying to stay on one lane. I've wrecked on a Kanjou and Touge and I'd rather wreck on a pass at 150kmh. I either survive or nose dive off a cliff to instant death. Withe safety equipment, if you wreck on a highway you're never deaf instantly. Either severely wonded and in need of EMTs or you're in extreme pain from your ankles and forearm snapping and now you have to also pay the city 500,000 dollars in damage fees
Fun fact, Tatsuya Shima (blackbirds name) is the voice of Takumi, Asakura Akio (Devil Z driver) is the same voice of Sakamoto from Initial D (Sakamoto is the driver of the Cappuccino in 4th stage)
I miss the days when the asphalt was this clean.... Since the 2011 Earthquake, the straight before Haneda is horiffic, and the jump at Ohghishima shreds your rear diffuser to bits.
its about life purpose probably. He didnt see any meaning to his life but becuase he has a kid to take care of it would just be a stupid and selfish decision to die and abandon his wife and kid.
@@Arz2003 How? Maybe without Haruda "Baby Akio" in the passenger seat....but he looked dead on pace with Blackbird. Oh, well I guess Blackbird would have slowed down and let him pass because he is a respectable surgeon, but other than that his GT-R seemed equal.
It would take 12 seconds to get to that truck while doing 320 km/h, however the truck has it's speed too so it would be more like 18 seconds...still it's fast as fuck
This is the MOST intense scene in the whole series. The second one was the 1st time the Z reached 330 with that slow and steady build. The chills hearing the engines roar one next to the other. The speed they are reaching and the dead end. It is marvelous to rewatch again. Just like the first 10 times i've watched it still gives me chills and Adrenalin rush. Amazing soundtrack choice + good car sounds
The whole sound design of this scene goes incredibly hard. It does a good job of making us feel the Tension Hiramoto is feeling. This race is his last shot.
Probably The Most Intense to see 3 demonic machine goin' 300km/h for passing one way to victory...until Hiramoto realize his true important in flash of his eyes by almost sacrifice everything for beating Devil Z & Blackbird
@@AnthroGearhead yes,he could've made it much powerful later.he is one of R drivers who isn’t overconfident,2nd best character for me in the whole series.
@@死亡-v1d sadly that will never happen becuz he was only a average person, buying that BNR32 with that much savings only was a literal red flag and besides he doesnt see himself as fastest racer in town, glad he quit while he could
From time to time I like to revisit this scene and listen to music from the Maximum Tune games. "Fallen Angel" by Aspen Vincent fits this scene so well that I'm convinced the series would've been million times better with the Maximum Tune soundtracks.
Much of that depends on the traffic, the route, and how far they feel like pushing it. Just goes to show how formidable Hiramoto's R was for them to take things this far.
main character who? Akio or the others? If other racers, the Lan Evo and RX7 FC are harder to reach 300 KM/H because those cars are less sustainable to counter the airflow after 250 KM/H than other cars such as 911, Testa, Skyline GTR and Supra.
I know this is a late response, but here are my 2 cents: as mentioned before it depends on the traffic and the area, but for example i have a diesel truck, not fast by any means but in some areas i can do 160 kmh top speed, most of the times i cannot go over 140 kmh, it is a turbo diesel though so night time and cold temperatures will help the engine's power. But that is my point, depending of the highway (elevation and surface quality) you can get 20kmh+ top speed or maybe your regular one. Not always we have the perfect conditions
ngl, Hiramoto's arc is the most saddest episode on this series. i mean he saved his money a lot and suddenly went down after he bought an R32 and faced against Blackbird and Devil Z. for me, this is really good filler(?)
grimmer jxcts bruh initial D had the same type of character and ambitions as this dude with the GTR except that the dude in initial D didn’t lose on purpose
That's your opinion, mate. In _my_ opinion, Wangan Midnight is a nice show, but also so incredibly cheesy that I had to quit watching it 30 episodes in. I just couldn't handle it. Initial D is more down to earth and objective, and barely has any "spiritual" stuff in it. They're just different.
Not gonna lie, Initial D is the better anime overall. It's more appealing to the average car guy. But for some people (like me), Wangan Midnight is just so satisfying to watch. Most people don't get it and those who do can't really even explain it, but for those who are passionate about speed and/or building a car to hit the limits with, WM really hits the nail on the head. That is why I like WM just as much as Initial D overall. I have the same disease as the people in the anime.
