Hey gang, I know this is pretty outside my usual wheelhouse, but I thought I'd try out a new green screen format and do a topic I wouldn't normally (at least not as its own dedicated video). Sorry this video looks so crunchy btw I recorded it on an android cell phone, it is what it is youtubes but eeeeeither way. I realize this will be probably somewhat controversial, especially since season 2 is being pretty well received, but despite all my trash talk on the series, this is all in good fun, and I encourage you to comment your own ideas, critique mine, whatever. This shit aint that serious :)

Anyway hope you kids like the 1987 comedy ISHTAR because that's almost certainly what the next video will be. I'm continuing on my confusing and counter intuitive journey to build up an audience that mostly doesn't care about anything that isn't initial D and won't watch anything else I do.

what if kanata was just a pissed off old south asian bus driver who was tired of rich kids being stupid and disrespectful and decided to take his old toyota to the course, would explain his plot armor a lot better than RDRS

MF Ghost is like the insufferable younger brother of that one really popular kid at school who constantly brings up how he's "cool guy's little bro" anytime someone takes issue with the fact the MF Angels didnt HAVE to be minors.

The animation team has confirmed takumi 2 will no longer be british in season 3 directly after the upload of this video congratulations

New antagonist thats just a vaguely Xenophobic american in a challenger that keeps fucking crashing near the end of the race somehow

Finally, Ghoul City is putting that english degree which I assume he has to work

peak arrived thank you for rewriting mother f ghost

MF Ghost's "supercars on the touge" idea is honestly very interesting, it's just that Shuichi went and came up with a very lazy "pull it out of my ass" explenation for how and why Katana Onigiri keeps getting higher places.

also the fact that everyone except for 3 stinkers in mid-sized sports cars is disabled at driving is insane. nobody except for like 2 or 3 drivers has a defining driving style either.

13:00 flip the number around, what if he was obsessed with 71 year olds instead, hide your grandmas😭

Also I would change Sawatori from a 17 guy to a certified m1lf hunter.

mf ghost takes first place as the most fumbled sequel in history

Personally I think what MFG did wrong was forgetting the universe's gay roots, cause street racers don't need girls and we gotta concentrate only on D. I mean, clearly Ryousuke thinks so since he stays a damn bachelor and extremely hung up on Takumi until he's like 40 or something, where he finds out that one of his nurses is related to Takumi's adoptive-son-and-racing-savant and says "fine, close enough". Also Kenta still simping for Keisuke even after he's outgrown his brother complex and gotten married to Kyoko so that SOMEONE can make a family heir, pretty sad too.

Like, MF Ghost is the bad ending. The ending where Takumi takes the whole "wider world" thing a bit too far, Bunta dies in one of the Fuji eruption's earthquakes, Ryousuke jumps headfirst back into the closet and postpones that whole promise he made to Kaori until after a major world-changing volcanic eruption, and lets whatever marketing idiot suggested "underage girls in skimpy clothing" keep having his job.

Edit: yall want me to explain WHY Initial D is gay? Alright. Buckle up. My gay headcanons got CITATIONS.

All 3 of our MCs are either gay or bi. Takumi's MOSTLY straight but c'mon, the amount of blushing and preening under Ryousuke's praise that happens is EXTREMELY sus, not to mention the way he treats calling Ryousuke like he's trying to ask out a girlfriend in 3rd stage, or how heavily-loaded the dialog during their rematch gets. Not to mention that for the entirety of 4th stage, Takumi's dodging the girlfriend questions from the gas station guys about as hard as Keisuke's dodging the SAME questions and only even brings up Natsuki when asked first.

Then there's Keisuke, the guy who freely admits on two separate occasions (to Fumihiro just after Kyoko's first appearance, and to Kyoko on the pity-date) that he broke up with his last GF literally THE DAY AFTER aniki took him down Akagi for the first time. And he straight up doesn't actually notice girls except for their driving, Kyoko's not even the FIRST girl he blows off to focus on aniki's D cause he LAUGHS IN THE FACE of another girl in that WasteGate bonus chapter. And God Foot's gaydar goes off so hard he forgets why he even came over to talk in the first place. Then there's all that VERY BLATANT FLIRTING with Takumi during Kanagawa. And the fact that Go Hojo straight-up says that the Takahashi brothers being "so close" makes him sick, which is made EVEN MORE suspicious by the amount of promo art the brothers have in questionable situations (like the dang RedSuns yaoi poster that was the Midnight Screening promo for Legend 3, or the two of them in a tiny-ass onsen on that manhole cover) AND the fact that in the Vocal Battle Special (ft. Takahashi Bros/RedSuns), literally all of their duets are love songs except for Kiseki No Hana.

And finally, Ryousuke, the guy who spends all of 3rd stage in bisexual lighting, admits that he has only ever felt attraction to ONE(1) woman ever, his driver profile in the manga flat-out states that he hates big-breasted women, etc. Not to mention, this is the guy who sends A DOZEN RED ROSES to challenge Takumi to race, wears a white leisure suit (which gets nice n sweaty and then thrown at Keisuke), and then comes to the gas station in a pink blouse and lavendar cardigan just to give Takumi his number (and compliment him til he's blushing so hard his coworkers call him on it). Oh, and that whole speech before their first race about Takumi and Keisuke being the only two people who had a chance at beating him, the VAs REALLY didn't have to make it sound so horny but they did it anyway.

Throw in all the gay/bi background characters, like the Night Kids (who are Definitely Not Friends™ when Shingo straight up teases Takeshi for liking girls in Extra Stage, they hold hands at the end of 3rd Stage, and are VERY comfortable together in their 5th/Final cameo), Impact Blue (Sayuki's remark about "don't be so naive!" wrt Mako giving away her virginity is VERY telling, along with the whole "they were roommates" thing), Kenta (this one's obvious), Matsumoto (the man straight up SAYS he loves Ryousuke in the official translation of the Shinigami battle in the manga), Nobuhiko and his bleach-blonde bf who straight up says he "feels conflicted" cause he "finds Keisuke attractive", and Purple Shadow who call each other Jo-chan and Ho-chan and look like my old gay-bear-couple landlords.

I feel like everything u said here is the best idea pretty much, but I feel like if there were some sort of alternate universe where ppl got something better than MF GHOST season 1, the go-to move wouldn't be to make the MC a hot-headed self-sucker who wants beef with everyone bc they love OG street racing. I think Kanata knowing Takumi is a good thing, but it should be less of a "oh that guy was my teacher in school" and more like a mister Miyagi type thing where Takumi finds a singular student to carry on a legacy after his retirement because of a life threatening accident, but he doesn't really have a school and he's just teaching Kanata in his back yard. I feel like the more underground nature of secretly training an industry Phenom keeps the original feeling of how Bunta is with Takumi, but it also still sets up the plot in a way where trying to beat all of the foreign rich-kids with 6-digit priced cars still has weight because it keeps the central message that skill and dedication matter over money and talent. Kanata can still be a little hot-headed and have a loose trigger, but it wouldn't be bcuz he just wants to preserve the 90's stuff cuz he thinks its cool and he's just a future counter culture guy, it would be because he feels he would be the sole person with the possibility to preserve it for his teacher and for the rest of the sparse car scene that exists in the MF GHOST evil google car future who can't afford factory race cars to race in and who still represent the passion and ingenuity of the 90's to 2000's era car scene.

6:10 honestly best change ever you cooked here

It would actually kinda remind me of NFS Heat with the whole Legal in the day, Illegal in the night dynamic. Maybe add some risk to the night like the road is out of good condition because there was an oil spill before or sth. Really cool idea, also he could maybe even lean in more to the gambling side and maybe trade in his cars for better ones along the way that he needs to learn and perfect. For example, sells the 86 and is looking for another car (insert comedy episode where he looks at either rusted, clapped out or overpriced cars) and lets say finds a 997 Carrera for cheap, he now needs to find the strengths and weaknesses of said car, like RR, pendulum, that sort of stuff. This would provide some good content to fill out the blankness.

The idea of kanata driving legally and illegally is really cool. There's a ps2 game with this premise, it's called Tokyo Xtreme Racer drift.

Dude this rewriting was kind of awesome to watch, I liked the ideas and they make a lot of sense for me! (in my opinion) I just don't feel like watching Mf Ghost but if this rewriting was a AU or a Fan Series I would definitely watch! Great Job :)

I feel like there should have been multi-class racing and a greater prioritization on lower-end sports models like the canon backmarkers or EDPtari and his Alpine or that one Blitz GR86 later on (i.e. Focus RS, WRX STI, 370Z Nismo, Golf R, maybe Camaro SS/Mustang GT if you want to stretch the meaning of "lower-end" a bit). I think I could find it more feasible than "le 86 can beat supercars".

Im rewriting initial d from third stage where Takumi doesn’t join project d. Anyone want to hear it?

i'm so hyped
