I honestly wish that Nakazato would learn from his defeat that having a fast car isn't everything. Like maybe he'd put away the JEE TEE ARU because he feels he's no longer worthy, and instead gets the (somewhat) worse JEE TEE TEE, and drives that until he feels he truly became worthy of his JEE TEE ARU. He should've been part of Project D once he's matured as a driver, certainly the "people might think we're friends" banter would be more interesting than all of Professor Wankel's single race. Plus we'd see Hojo R32 vs Nakazato RE32.

Because Nakazato was really just an average driver with a really good car. If you notice his bragging, he rarely ever talks about himself being the best; he doesn't say that HE will never lose to the spin twins, he says that the JEE TEE ARU won't lose to the dorito spinners. If he and Shingo had the same car and raced, Shingo would be able to beat him since he's an undoubtedly more skilled drive. Nakazato is basically Nobuhiko with a JEE TEE ARU instead of an Altezza.
It also helps that he's a parallel to Iketani. Both are known by their last names, both drive Nissans, both are the leaders of their respective teams, both have extensive knowledge of cars but limited driving skill, both are defined by their decent cars, they are both around the same age, and both have failed romantic relationships with the Blue Impact girls.
Why is eurobeat so beautiful?

Maybe Nakazato was meant to be expanded further as a character, since he matured by saying "the GTR lost the race... No, I lost the race." but Shigeno is a hack writer and Initial D quickly picked up steam. The fact he and Shingo make cameo appearances very frequently is possibly a leftover of that idea.
Also consider Purple Shadow. Both are two-man teams, one drives a Honda (Shingo) and one drives a Skyline (Nakazato). God Hand is known for driving with one hand, similarly to how Shingo did for his battle against Takumi. God Foot needs to prevent himself from being too focused, similar to how Nakazato always acted on impulse. God Foot also has Back On The Rocks, like Nakazato. Purple Shadow were probably meant to be a rematch of an improved Night Kids.

Yeah but if Takumi had a rematch with Jobber Kids, they would lose again. They might offer a good challenge, but they would lose again even after working hard on their shortcomings. Losing to your flaws instead of the opponent is the real graceful way to be defeated, and professional writers know it.
Meanwhile it doesn't really sting that God Limbs lost.

I think Initial D works its magic by giving depth to characters and making them more realistic even with the ridiculous over-analyzing and funny moments and the memery of eurobeat.
Even if they're stereotypical animu car fanboys the setting is realistic and you can tell the makers love cars.
Wangan tries to catch an audience using cars but the story is retarded and plain.
>>17229275
Same here, well I never really cared for Frankie. Though I seen Keki post something he usually never post on his blog, a drawing of a (female) human head. Maybe he's trying to get ready for those 「Cool Vibrations」?
>>17229783
What if, hold on, Nakazato became a main character and later joined Project D? When he races Keksuke, the race could end on a tie since both have improved tremendously, while the race against the mishfairinfu sisutemu guys would be a loss since Dagumi also lost to them. Plus with Nakazato being in more races, we'll get to see Shingo more and Nakazato tells him that people might think they're friends.
If we take into account the drama CD Shingo improved a lot after losing to Dagumi. He was at the same level with Takeshi and he kept getting better. But they were not given the chance to show their growth in the anime.
>>17216764
GET HYDRATED, GOD HAND
>>17230091
They aren't really that closeted to Shigeno, every instance of the running joke after the first time is anime original.
Yeah you can speculate what the story would be like if they ditched Takumi altogether, but he was by far the most popular character with readers after eight volumes. If Nakazato tied with Keisuke at that point, he also wouldn't be half the jobber he is now, if he managed to cross the finish line without fucking his tires he'd already thrown away his crutch of relying too much on power. Which is what the Drama CD depicts, so just animate that.
Night Kids are the best part of First Stage I agree, I just think oversteering like a retard is a very mundane thing to overcome and there's not much else to do, except romcom.

There this seemingly obscure Manga called "SS" by a guy called Halumoto Showhei. In it, a retired rally driver called Daibutsu rebuilds his Mitsubishi Starion and races people on the streets. Does anyone have scans of this manga, at least the car in question?
That said, it'd be kinda cool if the MCs from other racing themed manga made an appearance in Initial D. Like maybe Over Rev's Ryoko Shino, Wangan Midnight's Akio Asakura, and SS's Daibutsu would form a team with their AW11, S30, and Starion respectively, and hit the toe-gay.
