It's crazy how fast DK adapts. At his age he's still able to get into a car that's built different from everything he's used too and in a couple of laps he's starting to find the sweet spot and push. And his reflexes are still 100%. One of the greatest racing drivers of all time and one of the most entertaining motoring presenters of all time.
That's the great thing about drifting. It's not as intense on the body so you can do it for longer. As long as you know the basics, you can work your way into the car.
@@wzero07 Riding a bike has nothing to do with learning the inertia of a 400hp drift car. "I put Mentos in a Soda once and it shot off so it cant be that different to launching a NASA shuttle". Thats a similarly useless comparison.
you can see the clear difference of driving style between the two. Tsuchiya is way more traditional, while NOB's smooth style is awesome! its like seeing different eras of drifting altogether in this film. Tsuchiya also respects the car alot by not pushing it too much, you can see NOB is alot more comfortable with the car (well afterall its his setup and his car 😀
@@vinuyajohnnoahs8762 yeah because unlike taniguchi, he didn't really participate much or have any special drift trainings for competition. He popularised and ran the sport that's all.
DK has a more respectful style where its more like "Hey, rear end, you can step out if you want" where as a more modern style is more "It will now step out" generally followed by scary big angle and smoke. Both are cool, I like DKs more for the grace, and NOBs for the sheer steeze of it all.
Tsuchiya is such a gent, being so intrigued and respectful of a modern day drift set up. You can tell his style doesn’t suit such a set up, I guess he perfected his technique with virtually standard road cars where he purposely uses/creates momentum through the steering and throttle. NOB’s car looks like it will slide with very little effort so initially I thought Tsuchiya was over driving it but then he started to get a feel for it’s characteristic. Great to see that despite his preference to something more old school he still stepped out the car beaming and gave his respect to NOB and his team who built the car.
I love the respect he gives NOB because it is a different era of drifting and neither is easy, as i'm 38 I'm also stuck in the showa era of drifting and also hate the useage of handbrake to initiate drifts, however respect is still due as it is still difficult to do without oversteering and spinning the car. I still love seeing Tsuchiya's thoughts , as the oldskool method and I to only use the handbrake as a last resort to avoid frontal damage lol its refreshing to hear D.K's preferences as it makes me feel not alone haha as there are still some of us out there. Nobuteru makes it look easy , and I like that he made no mistakes when showing what he can do in front of the Lengend :)
@@jeizero "handbrake is for boys, momentum is for men" :D ... just joking, i simply prefer momentum drift too... In a way it looks more subtle and stylish... to me modern drift with wide angle steering is becoming more and more "over the top meaningless" even if i appreciate their skill. 90's degree steering wheel and handbrake make the drift things a "clearing the corner by power over"... The real skill involve shifting weight with "normal angle steering". What's the point of using a steering that looks like a shopping kart? Anyway if reverse entry keel people excited.... Maybe i'm too nostalgic or maybe i feel more like drifting that born in the old era due to necessity... hard narrow tyres, low grip on track...
That's an interesting observation - the difference in trying to drift modern drift cars, that are built almost from the grou d up to exist sideways...compared with forcing a low-power road car, built for daily use, to essentially do the reverse of what it's supposed to do and break traction on a regular basis. The emphasis in the latter case is, as you say, much more on using weight shifting to initiate drifts, whereas with modern, highly drift tuned, high power drift cars initiating a drift really is as simple as just powering-over in a lot of cases, using the ridiculous power of these cars to drift from almost any position. The most you really need in term of weight shifting is a small little left-right flick. Whereas the older cars...they're so low power and so unwilling to drift that you need to think about position and angle a lot more before initiating.
So cool to see Nob on here too! I always preferred the "Showa style" myself, there's just that feeling of balancing it on the very edge that you don't get with new drift setups. Also, modern drifters always say Tsuchiya's drifting is outdated, but forget that he doesnt have a car set up to do modern drifting. Just look at this, his first try at the modern style and he didn't spin out even ONCE, it's scary how fast Tsuchiya started to adapt to a different style of drifting, most others would struggle! Tsuchiya is and remains Dorikin!
@@TijiSan i though he never hit it, sometime just on heat of the moment because it's on the way to the gear lever... About that it's odd... Gear lever should be near and only after that the handbrake, in my humble opinion. But maybe shifting is not so important with a wide torque engine...
@@TakumiFujiwara80 I’m no drifter but I have heard people prefer the hand brake before the shift. I’d say that’s because yeah with a tuned car you’d probably be using the hand brake more than shifting. But it also depends on the driver too for sure
My first actual drift car video to watch and wow two things; 1. Japanese culture respect for pioneers and older generation is so humbling and powerful 2. The finesse and style of both eras is respectful and progressive ‘speed skater - figure skater’ I was blessed to witness this video. Thank you, thank you. Love from Gold Coast, Australia.
Really fun to see the Drift King learning the "new drift" style! "old school" style is way harder than just burning tires all the way, but he didn't have the muscle memory yet :) Btw, please keep this going guys, you still inspire tons of people around the world, myself included ofc!
Need Nobu on the channel more. It's also awesome to see him so giddy watching Tsuchiya drive his car. Even though they worked together for so many years he still gives him the utmost respect and idolism.
Thank you for making this content avalible and subtitled for overseas viewers! Very interesting comparation between "oldschool" and modern drifting styles, and good to see Tsuchiya-san trying NOB´s car. Also, gotta love how chill the guys are in this videos compared to the HV stuff we usually see.
Just went to an event where he did an exhibition in a 2j swapped BMW 2 series. He wasn't doing anything crazy the first run. but his second run, he def had it on lock and was sliding with grace.
I know Dori Dori is more known to be the "drift king" like when you say Tsuchiya, everyone instantly thinks "oh yeah DK" but i can't help but love him for his circuit and toge driving. Seeing him drift doesn't really make him stand out as much to see him in a gutted 86 or boosted s2k just smashing through apexes and setting awesome fucking lap times ! See the way he throws cars around in the corners and carry speed all the way through and when he looses traction and oversteers he's able to adapt and instantly counter steer mid corner and be right back on the throttle
I feel like every driver tends to have a different upbringing with their driving styles, like someone who'd be able to drive this like NOB imo would be older D1 and/or current drifters who are active. Not saying Tsuchiya can't drive it, but he's more used to a style where he's very..idk cautious? Since he's still used to Touge-style driving? Guys like Ueo, Koguchi, Kazama, Orido, and so on could drift this with NOB's flow.
@@drsmiths4123 Wouldn’t say lightning fast but it’s more so how sudden he reacts because its like a “nervous-like” style. Someone who has more of a aggressive approach IMO is what I would deemed as “lighting fast”. Perfect example th-cam.com/video/kLEk6sJyTEI/w-d-xo.html
@@TakumiFuji01 @Tyra Gney hmm i see, it makes sense. I think DK is not used to the front camber setup in todays drifts cars i feel like or just that is not used to Taniguchi's car. I just thought it was like lightning steering work because ive seen how early AE86 D1GP Drivers like Ueo or Hibino Tetsuya steer
At @14:30, just imagine NOB’s feeling in that moment: Your childhood idol telling you that you’re a superb driver and even surprised him with your car control! That’s the ultimate compliment for any true car guy, and I think I would genuinely be close to tears if my favourite driver (the late Senna) had said the same thing!
You can see how crazy dk is and how he drives, he didn’t use as much if any hand break while drifting and used tight flicks to get it angled, DK still adapting is just amazing to see.
I love Tsuchiya's low HP style of drift barely using the hand break and just whipping the into and initiations, think I will apply his style to my drifting, great video :)
Wow it’s like night and day seeing both drivers style. I haven’t seen drift king struggle much but it’s interesting seeing him compensate. I love this video and the respect they have for each other.
7:42 is the best way to describe the difference between the drift style of old compared to the current style. I enjoy both forms of drifting; however, I take the knowledge and mentality of the old and blend it with the new.
It’s really interesting seeing the differences in techniques here You can tell DK’s race pedigree kicks in and he very rarely lets the car self steer, even if it’s somewhat of a less optimal technique for drift, it’s still extremely impressive he is that precise on his steering work, also he seems to use a lot more load transfer than acceleration technique, really good to see these two run together
Watching Tsuchiya was like going back in time to the Drift Bible, cool cool stuff 👍🏼 nice training car Nob, showing that power isn't necessary for great drifting
i love this video man. not often do we see dk-san this genuinely impressed by cars and/or drivers, but nob-san really showed him how the "young guns" do it these days, both in driving and car setup! :) the respect these legends have for each other is so admirable and heartwarming. thank you carprime!
noticed dk never onced usded the handbrake when compared to modern day drifters, and still yet managed to pull a sick drift, thats skill you don't get to see today often
lol i love how DK was moving his feet when he wasnt even driving. looking like he would heel/toe when the car was about to go into the corner like he was pretending to drive lol
It was very refreshing to listen to Tsuchiya talk about the difference between the eras. I can only imagine how it feels for him. The amount of customization that goes into "any" modern day drift car is pretty insane compared to how few mods were usually applied in the earlier days when it was mostly to increase the angle by several degrees while still retaining the rest of the parts mostly stock. Having that much angle felt clearly weird for Tsuchiya when he was controlling the car on reflexes and was oversteering it in those slower corners.
I love it, i also noticed Keichi did not put his helmet on the car untill after the owner did. He shows respect for the mans car. True gentleman. Excellent work.
It was great watching Nob and DK driving, thank you for the such a good content! I also liked the explanation between "old" and "new" style of drifting. I think they're both great in their own way.
With his wealth and experience it doesn’t matter how much horsepower or insane the set up is DK can adapt his 6 drift techniques to any vehicle. The man is a driving legend for a reason his skills and knowledge has inspired thousands around the world.
I love how effortlessly Tsuchiya always flows and adapts to the moment. Not just in cars but with life, he is such a natural. Confident yet humble. True legend and a true role model of a man.
DK almost exclusively used inertial drift/Scandinavian flicks to initiate drifts rather than handbrake drifting, so beautiful really. Master of technique
Its very valuable to watch at 17:00 as Tsuchiya drives the 180sx with the "oldschool" technique, seeing how completely different the world of driving underpowered rigs is vs cars with significant torque and steering mods. DK is very conservative and uses weight transfer to initiate drifts instead of relying on OP levels of grip and torque to do the driving for him. The end result is a nice clean slide however it lacks the signature sound and smoke that we today associate with drifting. Personally I prefer this outdated version of drifting because it requires more skills and looks so damn smooth as if the car was on figure skates.
I personally still love the "showa" style. Seeing cars floor it on a straight and whip the rear into a corner was always just so exciting to see. Imagine the adrenaline you must get from that. Thus new more western style is cool but to me it's not as exciting.
Dude is pure legend so glad I’ve been able to watch him my whole life since the early 99/98 era I started watching these type of videos learned so much from the man all I can say is he’s still the best made the spot what it is
I understand it this way: Old style: Slide the rear while pointing towards the apex and after passing it, point the car towards the entry of the next corner. Pros: Less camber, steering angle and power needed. Lines aren't that different as the racing line, so it's easier to try if you have basic racing knowledge. Cons: Not as spectacular from the spectator view. New style: Slide the rear while pointing the car at the same spot, from the entry, to the exit. Pros: Way spectacular from the spectator view Cons: require a lot of modifications to the car. Harder to switch the thinking from the classic approach to the corner. Mastering every style is difficult, so I'm not saying which is easier/harder in those terms. Old style came from more racing approach, rather than the pure New style, which was born mostly out of entertaining and spectacular desire. So the connectivity of the Old style is making it more related to other skills from racing, thus making it easier to try by those, who had that knowledge before.
hmm you could say that but i'd simplify it further, DK is mostly drifting faster thru the turns without a lot of angle or wheelspin where as NOB goes full out throttle lots of smoke lots of angle. one is flashy and one is fast.
DK's drifting lines are incredibly refined and so freakin' clean. I was mesmerized by Tanugichi's drifting but, WOW man. Tsuchiya's really is one of a kind.
While watching these two drive was (obviously) absolutely amazing, my favorite part of this clip was just watching them talk about their different drifting methods and style. Unreal respect for both!
It’s really interesting to see. NOB was driving in a single gear most of the time and use the e brake way more and have less input to the drive overall while Tsuchiya kinda doing a rally style with the constant gear change to find the most power and putting a lot of steering input. Such a different era of drivers indeed
While everyone loves the drivers on the show which is normal but I would like to extend my gratitude and thanks carprime to have the English translation for those who can't understand Japanese. Kudos to the whole team👍
The respect NOB is showing by opening the car was wholesome. You can clearly see he sees Tsuchiya as a kind of master. Even the small deviation in the comment by saying hes driving in his car! (though with different setup hes used to) Also very nice and humble expression about being happy to get to have a feedback from such a legend.
been a fan since the original Best Motoring International videos. Idk how many time I've watched DKs Drift Bible. Thx for keeping the legacy going and showing an old dog new tricks! Respect ✊💪🙏
19:42 I really liked the 2 cameras here where the main camera shows the inside, and there is a picture-in-picture view of an outside camera showing the driving Very cool hope you do more of those. 👍
Respect. Enthusiasm. Prowess. These are the attributes of the drivers I find most enthralling. The level of respect that these two show for each other is a breath of fresh air.
Had goosebumps watching them embracing the modern era setups. 7:33 both of them sharing their differences than comparison, able to witness their level passion & professionalism. 22:30 NOB nailed it with his impressive gesture explanation. Like u don't need to understand japanese by looking at his gestures. GOATs to both of them.
Notice how the old timer doesn't use the handbrake, yet he controls the car flawlessly with the gas pedal. What a legend, the skill is amazing. Much respect!
Maksud dia. -Modern drift itu mengkonsentrasi bobot di belakang, jadi bisa drifting high speed. Gak ada lagi pemindahan bobot k depan dengan rem depan. Makanya pilih pakai hand brake. -Keichi-memilih rem depan memindahkan berat ke depan, sehingga belakang terangkat dan drift sendiri. Itu flow drifting atau scandinavian power slide
Drifting is just playing with inertia, that's why most pros prefer even weight distribution (or) with just a bit of rear bias. Its easier to read the physics. Its so interesting watching a pro react to a Senior. the way they interact is very informative! Its like Tsuchiya is learning about what he did to the culture of modern drifting. Goddamn Japanese are always so Impressive. Such insight, much wow!
It's incredible what DK helped to inspire. And now driving in these new machines there's gotta be some immense feeling of satisfaction, of completion. Thank you for this.
its nice to see them talk about drifting, tsuchiya made fun of taniguchi's 86 in a drift competition for using a bike muffler in a video option shoot 20+ yrs ago
I love this type of stuff most people would have expected a little more resistance from the older guy but he really went there with an open mind willing to listen to the younger fellow. Such a sight to see new and old gen get along so well and discuss the differences peacefully with out anyone having to argue or be offended. Props to them for being normal human beings.
It's crazy how fast DK adapts. At his age he's still able to get into a car that's built different from everything he's used too and in a couple of laps he's starting to find the sweet spot and push. And his reflexes are still 100%. One of the greatest racing drivers of all time and one of the most entertaining motoring presenters of all time.
He kept grabbing the handbrake because it was in the way of both the wheel and shifter!
It impressed me he went out solo.
That's the great thing about drifting. It's not as intense on the body so you can do it for longer. As long as you know the basics, you can work your way into the car.
@@wzero07 at his age it is impressive, he's 66 idk how many other 66 year olds can do what he does as well as he does it.
@@wzero07 Riding a bike has nothing to do with learning the inertia of a 400hp drift car. "I put Mentos in a Soda once and it shot off so it cant be that different to launching a NASA shuttle". Thats a similarly useless comparison.
Taniguchi: "I was worried my driving wouldnt be good enough"
Also Taniguchi: *literally won D1 GP 2001*
Keiichi is an absolute living god to these younger Japanese drivers, they'll always be overly humble in the presence of DK himself
he has respect for the og drift king
tsuchiya started the drifting trend, and always the judge of drifting competitions since the late 80s tho
reminds me of that tragedy.

I like how he rarely use the handbreak, but flicks it on entry now that's skill by the legend
DK Tsuchiya does real drifting… no brake handle! Awesome DK! 👍👏
Tsuchiya sensai barely touches the hand brake. it is so joyful to see them driving.
I love the ice skating analogy! I couldn't figure out WHAT the two methods had become really until thought of it that way.
The mutual respect levels on these two are super high, class act always from Dori-kin and Nob! 💯
lol i love how DK was moving his feet when he wasnt even driving. looking like he would heel/toe when the car was about to go into the corner like he was pretending to drive lol
Wait, i thought we all do that lmao
@@renaultracer3739 lol true, i find i do that watching alot of drift videos.
I'd love to see Tsuchiya have an episode with Yasuyuki Kazama of Rodextyle!
It was very refreshing to listen to Tsuchiya talk about the difference between the eras. I can only imagine how it feels for him.
The amount of customization that goes into "any" modern day drift car is pretty insane compared to how few mods were usually applied in the earlier days when it was mostly to increase the angle by several degrees while still retaining the rest of the parts mostly stock.
Having that much angle felt clearly weird for Tsuchiya when he was controlling the car on reflexes and was oversteering it in those slower corners.
I love it, i also noticed Keichi did not put his helmet on the car untill after the owner did. He shows respect for the mans car. True gentleman. Excellent work.
It was great watching Nob and DK driving, thank you for the such a good content! I also liked the explanation between "old" and "new" style of drifting. I think they're both great in their own way.
NOB and DK looks the same when I first saw them over 20 years ago at D1 GP. Passion never dies!
Taniguchi's analogy of comparing the two styles to Speed Skating vs Figure Skating is spot on.
welp he's been drifting since 1990 so he can relate to different eras of drifting
With his wealth and experience it doesn’t matter how much horsepower or insane the set up is DK can adapt his 6 drift techniques to any vehicle. The man is a driving legend for a reason his skills and knowledge has inspired thousands around the world.
I love how effortlessly Tsuchiya always flows and adapts to the moment. Not just in cars but with life, he is such a natural. Confident yet humble. True legend and a true role model of a man.
DK almost exclusively used inertial drift/Scandinavian flicks to initiate drifts rather than handbrake drifting, so beautiful really. Master of technique
Its very valuable to watch at 17:00 as Tsuchiya drives the 180sx with the "oldschool" technique, seeing how completely different the world of driving underpowered rigs is vs cars with significant torque and steering mods. DK is very conservative and uses weight transfer to initiate drifts instead of relying on OP levels of grip and torque to do the driving for him. The end result is a nice clean slide however it lacks the signature sound and smoke that we today associate with drifting. Personally I prefer this outdated version of drifting because it requires more skills and looks so damn smooth as if the car was on figure skates.
Yeah that's how you know he could drift the car straight out of the factory
I agree, the "new" drift, is like 800hp, e-brake, send it, done, literally, 0 skill, only "procedure" driving
I personally still love the "showa" style. Seeing cars floor it on a straight and whip the rear into a corner was always just so exciting to see. Imagine the adrenaline you must get from that. Thus new more western style is cool but to me it's not as exciting.
Same i'm not a fan of the backwards entry. It was cool at first but I like the high speed balls to the wall old school drifting.
"I'm sure they will reach 90 degrees soon"
Daigo Saito, watching with his 100 degrees kit : 👁👄👁
what impressed me the most is how very very very little DK used the hand break compared to like 99% of other videos iv seen from other drifters
DK's drifts are always so beautiful, but then again we call him DK for a reason.
Dude is pure legend so glad I’ve been able to watch him my whole life since the early 99/98 era I started watching these type of videos learned so much from the man all I can say is he’s still the best made the spot what it is
I understand it this way:
Old style: Slide the rear while pointing towards the apex and after passing it, point the car towards the entry of the next corner.
Pros: Less camber, steering angle and power needed. Lines aren't that different as the racing line, so it's easier to try if you have basic racing knowledge. Cons: Not as spectacular from the spectator view.
New style: Slide the rear while pointing the car at the same spot, from the entry, to the exit.
Pros: Way spectacular from the spectator view Cons: require a lot of modifications to the car. Harder to switch the thinking from the classic approach to the corner.
Mastering every style is difficult, so I'm not saying which is easier/harder in those terms. Old style came from more racing approach, rather than the pure New style, which was born mostly out of entertaining and spectacular desire. So the connectivity of the Old style is making it more related to other skills from racing, thus making it easier to try by those, who had that knowledge before.
hmm you could say that but i'd simplify it further, DK is mostly drifting faster thru the turns without a lot of angle or wheelspin where as NOB goes full out throttle lots of smoke lots of angle. one is flashy and one is fast.
DK's drifting lines are incredibly refined and so freakin' clean. I was mesmerized by Tanugichi's drifting but, WOW man. Tsuchiya's really is one of a kind.
Seeing Keiichi giggle like a child with the high pitch voice and all when he came back from driving the 180 was so heartwarming !
While watching these two drive was (obviously) absolutely amazing, my favorite part of this clip was just watching them talk about their different drifting methods and style. Unreal respect for both!
It’s really interesting to see. NOB was driving in a single gear most of the time and use the e brake way more and have less input to the drive overall while Tsuchiya kinda doing a rally style with the constant gear change to find the most power and putting a lot of steering input. Such a different era of drivers indeed
imagine standing beside this LEGEND OF GRANDFATHER OF DRIFTING and talking about cars, that must be an amazing feeling
While everyone loves the drivers on the show which is normal but I would like to extend my gratitude and thanks carprime to have the English translation for those who can't understand Japanese.
Kudos to the whole team👍
How have I never found the English Channel before. I’ve been watching the Japanese stuff with no subtitles and I still enjoy it
Thanks for the upload, thank you for the subtitles! Great video!
The respect NOB is showing by opening the car was wholesome. You can clearly see he sees Tsuchiya as a kind of master.
Even the small deviation in the comment by saying hes driving in his car! (though with different setup hes used to) Also very nice and humble expression about being happy to get to have a feedback from such a legend.
Such genuine people.much respect and love from Australia
That’s awesome! I love seeing the generation difference and the skill.
been a fan since the original Best Motoring International videos. Idk how many time I've watched DKs Drift Bible. Thx for keeping the legacy going and showing an old dog new tricks! Respect ✊💪🙏
Watching him drive the car I can tell that he's talking to it the entire time figuring out what it wants. Truly mesmerizing when he drifts
Дед даже до ручника ни разу не дотронулся. ДК имба
absolutely awesome video! the interior audio was great too. loved hearing the car so well
19:42 I really liked the 2 cameras here where the main camera shows the inside, and there is a picture-in-picture view of an outside camera showing the driving
Very cool hope you do more of those.
👍
Respect. Enthusiasm. Prowess. These are the attributes of the drivers I find most enthralling. The level of respect that these two show for each other is a breath of fresh air.
DK is 66 years old. 5'6"128lbs. Mad props to his style and technique.
The smile on his face the whole time, lovely :)
You can tell DK is a grip driver, never lets go of the steering wheel. Still gets some good drifts in, right on!
Had goosebumps watching them embracing the modern era setups. 7:33 both of them sharing their differences than comparison, able to witness their level passion & professionalism. 22:30 NOB nailed it with his impressive gesture explanation. Like u don't need to understand japanese by looking at his gestures. GOATs to both of them.
I didn't think I could respect Taniguchi any more but today I'm blown away. He's truly the complete driver in grip or drift. It's just unbelievable.
Thank you for uploading these videos with translation
The fact that DK didn't went for the handbreak any bit typically shows the difference of the eras and style. Huge respect.
Thank you for the english subtitle.
Grew up watching both of these OGs since the Option motoring days, love the content.
Always wanted to see DK drift new era drift car 🔥🔥🔥
Before TH-cam I would torrent DKs old videos and burn them to a DivX disc. I feel old watching this now. Cool to see the hobby evolve over the years.
Notice how the old timer doesn't use the handbrake, yet he controls the car flawlessly with the gas pedal. What a legend, the skill is amazing. Much respect!
Maksud dia.
-Modern drift itu mengkonsentrasi bobot di belakang, jadi bisa drifting high speed. Gak ada lagi pemindahan bobot k depan dengan rem depan. Makanya pilih pakai hand brake.
-Keichi-memilih rem depan memindahkan berat ke depan, sehingga belakang terangkat dan drift sendiri. Itu flow drifting atau scandinavian power slide
Drifting is just playing with inertia, that's why most pros prefer even weight distribution (or) with just a bit of rear bias. Its easier to read the physics. Its so interesting watching a pro react to a Senior. the way they interact is very informative! Its like Tsuchiya is learning about what he did to the culture of modern drifting. Goddamn Japanese are always so Impressive.
Such insight, much wow!
It's incredible what DK helped to inspire. And now driving in these new machines there's gotta be some immense feeling of satisfaction, of completion. Thank you for this.
This vid brings happiness
Wow Great video! Thank you for making this with subtitles!!
its nice to see them talk about drifting, tsuchiya made fun of taniguchi's 86 in a drift competition for using a bike muffler in a video option shoot 20+ yrs ago
i truly appreciate that this legend is still providing fans with entertainment by doing what he loves to do.
I love DK's huge smile behind his helmet throughout Nobu's run. Two legends
Yay I've been waiting for this
I love this type of stuff most people would have expected a little more resistance from the older guy but he really went there with an open mind willing to listen to the younger fellow. Such a sight to see new and old gen get along so well and discuss the differences peacefully with out anyone having to argue or be offended. Props to them for being normal human beings.
