Wasn't it just power sliding?

What made Mako a contender again, other than having Sayuki feeding her the shit that most racers did on their own? I don't remember any actual unique talents other than generic dorifto

Get hydrated, God Hand

don't gotta explain shit sil80s are magic

GET HYDRATED, GOD HAND

GET HYDRATED, GOD HAND

she was just good, didn't need any special standout technique since the 'hook' of that arc was just takumi racing outside of akina for the first time

Yeah that's a good point

>early initial D has actual story arcs and takumi encountering various opponents with different skill sets and strengths that force him to learn more about cars and racing
>later is literally just racer of the week
fucking why

Because Shinego can't write worth shit for more than a season and a half

Its fucking suffering having Initial D being one of my favorite anime and at the same time hating its writing post first season more than most things I know of

The writing didnt eat shit until the project d arcs, second stage continues the first stage vibe and third stage wraps it up. Every past feels tacked on. Will be intresting to see if his new car msnaga will suffer the same shit story managment.
