*Takumi loses to Shingo - The Alternate Ending*
*Plot Armor in the race against Tomoyuki*

[leowo]

I actually paused the episode and went for a walk when I first watched this episode. Like, bruh, Takumi's plot armor isn't even hidden. They're just rubbing it on our faces and saying: *YEAH BITCH, YOU LIKE THIS, DON'T YOU!? YOU DON'T? I DON'T FUCKING CARE!!*

[ryosuke.takahashi]

That's because Takumi *is* the **LUCKY MAN**

[thennekcdcdthennek]

What a guy. He chose to lose than to puke inside his car. Absolute car guy. Lol

[BladezAndrew]

I’m pretty sure in this race it was supposed to be an insanely hot night if I remember correctly and racing like that hard is going to make you hotter and sweat even more. And since it went on for so many rounds it kinda makes sense for driver endurance to become the deciding factor and that sort of thing does happen in real life….

That all being said what makes this feel so dumb is that takumi is like 16 and god hand is like 60. Like wow bro you out endured a senior citizen.

[galvy]

If you dont count the "duhh, i didn't think of this as a race " moments, i dont think Takumi ever lost a race, EVER.

[hachiman]

As much as I love initial D, the show went from "Wow a real racing move you can actually pull off" to "okay how will the writers bullshit this race this time".

[kilokrafts]

this race was perfectly fine, the guy was old and its hot out, they even admitted in the anime that Takumi lost the battle but won in results

[connieambershard]

Thankfully, Takumi considers this a loss, or at the very least a draw.

[z-oh]

We have been hoodwinked, bamboozled, led astray, run amuck, and flat out deceived

[KYI_sis]

0:39 toshima beat our own protagonist so hard he had a stroke.

[arthurcollin]

This is one of the best races, but the ending is horrible, the creators of the anime don't even disguise the "power of the protagonist" lol. It looks like those fights from certain animes

[senatorimamoglu]

I like how he only lost to bunta in the entire series bruh what a plot armor especially after stage 3

[CandidaRosa]

I dont understand why they couldn't let Takumi taste defeat at least once, it made every race pointless after 4th stage.

[yoshigottagun]

I get the idea being that he failed the "endurance" part of the race, but it still seems shoehorned in. I personally count this and the Evo race as losses, even if they aren't viewed as losses to Project D.

[haluyolo]

This one, EK9 Spoon suddenly have a cat walking by iirc, stage 3 battle with MR-2 the leaf, against Ryosuke his tires worn out but not Takumi's, and many more XD

[nibbacheese]

I think the writers were trying to show you that anything can happen in a race...that's why having a stroke of luck can go a long way in helping out on winning

[itsmarius]

The god hand thought it would be over 1 round earlier. If it was all as the god hand expected he would’ve won before vomitting. But takumi endured and made the god hand panic. So you cant say its all plot armor. But yeah takumi’s luck is unbelievable.

[Perryprime]

As much as i love takumi, this was pure plot armor💀

[Pedroppl]

Either God Hand should have won, or the writer could think of a BELIVEABLE way of Takumi winning in a way that it still shows that God Hand was superior. Like the race of Keisuke vs. God Foot, in which God Foot would clearly have won if it was uphill only, but God Foot chose to race uphill and downhill with the purpose of giving Keisuke the advantage and making things exciting for himself. And he didn't even lose, he just gave up (Keisuke started first in the second run, and he reovertakes God Food close to the finish line). It was a believeable result.
