This is my favorite episode because it addresses one of the fatal flaws of being a Racer. You can run so hard, build a monster that cant be topped and a select few make it and become pros, but at the end of the day theyll always be someone, somewhere whos better than you. When it comes down to it and the price becomes too High you Will cash out because no matter how good your times are or how well you can drive, You Cant do it forever.
I'm pretty sure the point of his story was that you're not young forever. Racing will stop being the most important thing in life and you realize your life is now worth a lot more than a few hours of thrills. Who gives a flying fuck about cars and money for cars when you have a child to worry about? He needs to get back to his wife and baby, and thank his dear friend for gift. How did you see all 3 cars side-by-side and the flashbacks and somehow conclude it was about money and beating others?
My favourite chapter of the entire anime. Loved Hiramoto's character, personality and way of life. An ordinary guy, mechanics genius, teared bewteen his passion and his love. The kind of guy anyone can be(come), and/or identify to... His BNR32 "Dragon" was also my favourite car. No design futilities, straight to the point. GTS-t wing for lower downforce, Nismo front bumper for cooling brakes and intercooler, and nothing else. Maybe the most potent car of the entire anime.
@@mariusmglestue1234 tohru didn't have a rear wing on his car. Plus this took place long before he got his car. Remember this anime was from 1990. I doubt tohru had his Miata that long
It doesn't matter what car you drive or how fast it is, you can't outrun a mistake and you don't always get a second chance to fix it. Hiramoto's story-line is so powerful.
"I gave up my true happiness and chose a damn race car!" Yes... yes.. You and many others pal.. You and many others. Men everywhere will never give up their love for cars. Not even for a child. Some might see it as cruel, I see it as a drive and yearning so strong that nothing besides another car could ever satisfy it. You might be content for awhile but just like in this Anime it doesn't last. Enjoy that GT-R my friend.
Cruelty? I think most people will see it for what it is - stupidity. Because at some point, no matter how much horsepower you put into that engine, there ain't no running away from reality. It's called responsibility, and that is the true measure of a man.
Koichi: "The devil Z is responsible for ruining my life. I threw away my family and happiness away to beat it" Meanwhile Akio: *Just casually testing his car's top speed*
The more I watch.. the more I feel this anime is why we also have Initial D. The similarities to me are just unreal, I get the same satisfaction out of both shows.
@@sil8055 yeah and I actually learned some cool stuff but watching both of these anime. I wish there were more like these two. Supposed to be another manga by Initial D mangaka as well
Theres no chance he kept that GTR, he probably sell it 3 millions like last time and buy a regular, family car for Megumi and the baby. I'd prefer a Evo or WRX for a choice, but thats my opinion
In the manga, his boss bought it from him for 5 million yen. The boss used to race with Kitami tune car, too. He could appreciate the tuning Hiramoto did.
So far this is the best episode, not just the character ark and the devil's Z resurrection but this 3 way (and spectator) race gotta be my favorite. I felt very tense from the stakes of this race and because there were 2 GTRs so double the chance of a car crashing.
Even if it was, they wouldn't brother chasing them because japanese police cars are so under powered that they can't catch these tuners. They'd usually just get someone farther up to help.
Either the L28, single cam engine fitted with twin turbos, the Z432's engine, a dual cam engine fitted with twin turbos, or an RB26DETT, a monsterous dual cam engine with twin turbos
I can relate to this guy, he sacrificed his true happiness for a damm race car, l sacrificed my chances to get married , so l can afford to buy a damm , "Ferrari 488 Spider !!!" , what the hell , the marriage probably would of ended up in a divorce anyway !!! 😅
Nah you made a good call marriage divorces are rigged against man take care of that 488 my ultimate goal is to buy a Lamborghini mercy v12 manual transmission
That easy to answere. You use them, cause you want to let people know where you'll go next, so the chance is smaller, that someone will crash into you or will block you.
Haruda's Z31 conveniently blows its engine just as the Devil Z is restored? I was looking forward to that battle! What was the point of that character anyway?

Yup
No matter how good you think you are at something, there is an asian out there whos better than you.
That can change, people improve and deteriorate all the time. Sure, someone is always better than you, but that doesn't mean that it's fixed.
Better to live one day as a lion than a 1000 years as a sheep

if your pull out game is strong you too can build your very own devil Z
Big Joe we know hiramotos isn’t
Billy Ray Cyrus' pull out game wasn't strong because if it were we wouldn't have Miley Cyrus.
Yes yes yes.
This dude finally went back to his wife.
That's all I wanted in this series.

So many red 1st gen miatas rolling around the wangan in this show
That was the author's car so he included it in the show
@@floof4444 I love how it's literally in every episode.
It’s Tohru Suetsugu’s NB6C from Initial D fourth stage, you can tell by the Front bumper, mud flaps and rear wing.
ikr!

"You made the right choice, Hiramoto"
Seems old man Kitami still has some lingering regrets
so damn happy that hiromoto returned to his family, its ALMOST enough to make a full grown man cry😩😩😩
Everybody knows that real winner was that red na miata it was laps a head everybody 😆
Which one?

Definately the most wholesome episode.
And I'm definately not the first to stay that.
There is confusion in episode 7 but it "ALL CLEAR" now 😀
What confusion
@@kamalamkamali14 The sudden appearence of the gtr guy. They look too similar. Everybody thought it was a flashback or something.

Damn ninjas started cutting onions at 22:48
I know right?
Bruh moment

5:34 I DONT EVEN WANNA IMAGINE HOW HE RIPPED THAT NEEDLE OUT
It's hurts to watch
I literally flinched when I saw him run, even moving your hand with the needle inside can hurt like a bitch
Way more existential then I suspected at first. I love it

Same
WickdPerfekT I think it kinda brought a new story to the series. I like it
WTF?! i didn't order all these FEELS!!
I see Akio had a Luke Skywalker moment lol.
"Get to the Yokohoma line, you must..."
Status of the Dragon GT-R:
Sold to another person, including all upgrades.
湾岸はただ速さを求めるのではなく人生の生き様、人は何のために生きるのかを教えてくれる気がする
味わい深い世界観にハマるとつい見入ってしまう
この回では結局最後は家族を選んだ所が良かったし、良い終わり方だった

This episode gave me GOOSEBUMPS♥😭😢🔥
Can’t get enough of this show, my third time watching it and I’m still as entranced as ever, it’s the reason I bought my own 240z. Fuckin incredible.
I just hope he kept the GTR or at least sell it to someone who loved racings as well.
Theres no chance he kept that GTR, he probably sell it 3 millions like last time and buy a regular, family car for Megumi and the baby. I'd prefer a Evo or WRX for a choice, but thats my opinion
K a i j u. exn yes, beat up whoever says the evo or wrx isn’t a family car. It’s got four doors and 5 seats
Skyline Sedans exists
In the manga, his boss bought it from him for 5 million yen. The boss used to race with Kitami tune car, too. He could appreciate the tuning Hiramoto did.
Keep watching, the dragon next went to Reina who replaced her R with Hiramoto's
Theres the red Miata again 7:30 and 11:30
Asian Mustang ikr
Asian Mustang its always there
18:39 too!
Asian Mustang I feel like that guy is the real villain an American with a fat LS v8 in a Miata it's gonna give the devil z a run for its money
roadster not miata!!!!
So far this is the best episode, not just the character ark and the devil's Z resurrection but this 3 way (and spectator) race gotta be my favorite. I felt very tense from the stakes of this race and because there were 2 GTRs so double the chance of a car crashing.
best episode for me so far!
Same!
That music that started when the Devil appeared was funky as hell and reminded me of Mariokart
I just hope he kept his GTR at the end of the day for his kid's sake. Tune it down to 400hp and keep it for your kid
Kouichi actually sell it after this final racing. He sell it and leave Tokyo
@@luuduonghy659 I understand but that's sad 😥
Well, he spent all his and his wife's savings on that GT-R including the upgrades, so It makes sense that he sold it.
Honestly the beginning and the end of the theme song is so fire
blackbird is the only actual racer
Yeah he's always on the edge but not completely suicidal.
And everybody else is maniac.....
...in a good way
Was worried following ep 7. But my faith has been restored.
Bro the cinematic quality and timing of this video is so well done
He made the right choice.
21:55 i dont cry bro, i have just something in the eyes..
コミック版だと平本のRはグリーンオートの2代目社長が良い値段で買い取ってくれて更にハッピーエンド！
im so happy that the Devil Z is back! I think im gonna crytears of joy!
The Z driver isn't the one who left his kid? Christ, they all look the same and I'm not paying attention
zgSHADOW its the eyebrows
Same thing with me : )
Akio and Koichi look fairly different imo, their face and hair are different
@@tarochan113 in previous episodes they looked a lot more similar. At least they changed him a bit
I knew it that it will be a great episode since it has 'Dogfight' in the title.
What an amazing episode this was!
I'm not crying! You're crying!
16:35 is that a police car? haha
impreza0109 rlly the police doesn't care at all
Alexrilix z they really dont bother catching overspeeding cars in xpressway if they know they cant ctch them. REFERENCE #F&F:TD
On the side it says タクシー, or taxi
Even if it was, they wouldn't brother chasing them because japanese police cars are so under powered that they can't catch these tuners. They'd usually just get someone farther up to help.
It’s a taxi. They have been through the whole series
16:09-16:22 So epic, and is what makes this show great.
Fun fact: Me and that baby share the same birthday. I feel honoured.
Im starting to like this again
He gets a full rebuild for free... and I get basically stripped of all my money every time I get near a car service...
Who else watching in 2020
some real nice cars on the wangan
Either the L28, single cam engine fitted with twin turbos, the Z432's engine, a dual cam engine fitted with twin turbos, or an RB26DETT, a monsterous dual cam engine with twin turbos
I'm so disappointed that Masaki wasn't adapted in this right after this arc.
Why does this give me serious 2nd stage vibes from when bunta swapped the blown up 4age
Ryosuke?
What are you doing here?
Man the only character development in this show
All of those red pop-up Miatas being gapped, it's hilarious
"You made the right choice, Hiramoto"
And it was made in the right time, not too late...
Best episode ❤️✨
So far the best episode
I think tohru (initial D) is already addicted in the wangan... Many red miatas...
the amount of eunos roadsters i see in this show is too much
Who doesn't love this episode?
Aah... Z
9:20 GTO
Thomas Penaloza underrated car :(
That exact gt300/gto was also in Initial D Fifth Stage
these guys are so powerful. racing 300km on street or track is really a dream to many racers. i am too scared for that speed.
I watch this story repeatedly
I liked the old mirrors
I really hope Hiramoto apologized to Matsu off screen
In original manga, he apologized with a letter after he went back.
I can relate to this guy, he sacrificed his true happiness for a damm race car, l sacrificed my chances to get married , so l can afford to buy a damm , "Ferrari 488 Spider !!!" , what the hell , the marriage probably would of ended up in a divorce anyway !!! 😅
You,re a douche if you sarcrificed all that for a good family but if u knew underneath that it's not gonna be good then you,re good on the sacrificed
Nah you made a good call marriage divorces are rigged against man take care of that 488 my ultimate goal is to buy a Lamborghini mercy v12 manual transmission
Yep. I am addicted.
I still don't know how Takagi calculated the stabilized 330 km/h speed
And modify the cams, crank, conrods, pistons, and valve springs to make it revvy as hell
3台並ぶシーンは何回見ても鳥肌級だな
10:35 Initial D sound
they're driving about 300 kph and still use the light signals, you already broke the law why would you even care about it.
Errrmmm.... Japanese always follow the law even tho they break it
when it comes to street racing japanese cops wont even care you would even see them doing donuts
Because they aren’t some fucking BMW drivers.
That easy to answere. You use them, cause you want to let people know where you'll go next, so the chance is smaller, that someone will crash into you or will block you.
And the cops didn’t care you could see a few being passed in the ep
12:27 "he'll never catch us at dis speed"
Akio: choo choo bye bye
As a 3000gt owner im definitely appreciative of the gto cameo at 9:21
As his arc is now complete, I will just imagine Hiramoto kept the GTR and used it for daily drive basis, eventually or probably detuning it
He sold it
Whats the song at the start of the episode when the engine is getting put in?
I feel bad for the mx-5 he got passed like 50 times 😂
No it just keeps doing laps around them
Damn this hit hard
This kind of teaches us that older ones are the more experienced ones.
最高です。
I'm happy now
What is playing when the 3 of them are lined up before the trucks???

Baggage flash backs.
There’s a po po car at 16 33 and they just yeeted past it
What song plays at 2:14?
I wonder how expensive Aiko’s car insurance is.

To waste our fucking time. This anime sucks ass.
Came here for the adrenaline and hype, Left with dem feels :c
car > kids.... that pretty savage.
13:36 the cop is just chilling
dudes be realy leaving their families behind for some cars and speed... that is some real og stuff right there.
can someone tell me the name of the OST at the end? Cant find it.
