History WMG / RedLine

Especially after seeing all of the illegal weaponry that Roboworld had stockpiled, it seems that other governments, ruling bodies etc knew about them and used the race as a method of sabotage/attack effectively destroying their most dangerous military capabilities. Plus the Redline Committees flag ship seems to be controlled by Soingrass.

* Possible, as he has pointed, elven-like ears while the only two semi-confirmed humans (Miki and Todoroki) have round ears. Given that the Superboins are also aliens (magic ones no less), JP could very well just be an alien who happen to look human.

** An easy explanation would be that Sonoshee either changed her name or is usina an alias, to make it completely on her own and avoid riding on her dad's fame.

*** "Cherryboy Hunter" seems to be s nickname given to her by the press that apparently caught on, much to Sonoshee's disliking.
** That could also explain why Machinehead was so hostile to JP in the final leg of the race, he couldn't outright say it but he was angry at seeing his dear daughter in the arms of an unworthy loser (an attitude that was changed once JP managed to win the Redline). Also, after a rewatch I noticed when the Transam is side to side with the Godwing, Sonoshee gives Machinehead a very shy side glance and a smile. Machinehead immediately says "You are here!" which JP assumes was reffering to him, but Machinehead was actually talking to Sonoshee and proceeds to ask if she is going to dare to use the Steamlight, something that catches JP completely by surprise.

He survives two crashes and an explosion without a scratch and has oddly shaped ears. It's entirely possible he's not actually human, but simply a VERY human looking [[RubberForeheadAliens rubber-forehead alien.]] Alternatively he could be a [[HalfHumanHybrid half-human hybrid]] of some kind.

* Though this does bring up the question of why they have two different last names if they're father and daughter. Sonoshee's last name being [=McLaren=] and Machinehead's being Tetsujin.

* they don't speak to anyone (besides eachother) before the movie concludes.

** JP had already been seen surviving three major crashes with almost no harm done to himself. Plus, the reactions of the viewers, the other racers, and JP's friends, would be VERY odd if they had just seem them being splattered all over the place. As for the how they were floating like that, rememeber that they are in the ship of a magical space princess who doesn't seem to care much about the laws of physics.

It's subtle, but it's there. During the Oasis Club scene Sonoshee does mention that she was expecting company, and when Machinehead makes his entrance she visibly waves her hand at him. She also mentions that her dad was a racer, and that he gifted her the steamlight, which would explain why Machinehead knew that Sonoshee had one later in the movie. Another moment that adds to the theory, is that when Sonoshee's car gets totalled by artillerty fire, both JP and Machinehead react with great worry.

** Both JP and Sonoshee can already be seen floating and shimmering with that blue energy immediately right after they pass the finish line, suggesting that there are forces keeping them safe (it is the ship of a magical space princess after all).

Sonoshee and JP died in the explosion and it's their spirits that finish the race before drifting into the afterlife. They still won; REDLINE has no rules beyond staying on the track, so death is no disqualification.

While Frisbee wanted the money badly, he did always wanted to see JP win. Even in the Yellow Line, he didn't press the detonator until JP was far ahead of Sonoshee, even at gunpoint. He wanted to wait until JP was definitively the winner before going through with his deal with Inuki. While he is slightly annoyed at JP's insistence at winning instead of following the deal, he does want to see his partner win. In the Redline however, JP never got that definitive win, so Frisbee wanted to hold off blowing up the car until he saw it.

Not sure if it's been outright stated, but people make reference to Blue Line, such as the TV reporters claiming Miki and Todoroki to be Blue Line champs. I assume blue line is the stage before yellow like. As we know, there were 8 yellow lines, with the winner of each all participating in Red Line, so i think it's safe to assume the Yellow Lines are composed of winners of the various Blue Lines.

* It wasn't stated, but the Mafia guy (Inuki) does kind of look like a much older version of the flashback guy.

* The leader of the Mafia was the pimped out guy in JP's flashback. Both wore rings, were rich, and had two beautiful women (and I swear they look the same). This may have actually been stated, for all I know and I missed it... there was a lot going on in the movie.
