History Funny / InitialD

--> '''Iketani''': ''[[OhCrap (upon seeing a fast approaching turn, and noticing Takumi hasn't slowed down yet)]]'' [[OhCrap Hey.... Hey.... Takumi, the brakes!]] ''(begins screaming)''

* Episode 17: Bunta find out that he ran out of cigarettes to smoke and decide to take the [=AE86=] Trueno for a spin... only to find out that Takumi already took the car, leaving Itsuki's [[TheAllegedCar AE85 Levin]] into the alley as a replacement. The result? Bunta's [[OhCrap bewildered reaction]], of course.

--> '''Bunta''': '''What in the holy hell?!''' My Eight-Six has been turned into an Eight-Five!
--> *Cue a note from Takumi; "I borrowed the car. I left you a replacement."*

--> '''Sayuki''': ''(thinking)'' She always changes personalities when she's behind the wheel ''(out loud)'' How can you call me an extra weight on the car?! I have a nice body, I'm not fat!!

* ''Fourth Stage'', Episode 9: [[spoiler:While slightly upset that she lost her race against Keisuke]], Kyoko [[CannotSpitItOut struggled to speak up]] to him, until she asked if he is seeing another girl, to which Keisuke answered in the negative. Kyoko gets all giddy and immediately thanks him for the answer, leaving Keisuke [[ObliviousToLove scratching his head, thinking she's weird.]] The funny bit: [[spoiler: Kenta was apparently sitting behind one of Project D's vans, unable to pop out lest he ruin the ShipTease.]]

* ''Fifth Stage'', Episode 1: Project D got into a bit of a pickle (particularly Takumi) when news of a couple of posers riffing them off broke out. Using the team's vast information network and a little assist from Wataru, they managed to weed out the impostors during a random gathering down the mountain pass, by inducing a MassOhCrap reaction from them and the crowd courtesy of Takumi doing a full-speed drift round the corner. As the "fake" Takumi motions to "fake" Keisuke to hightail it out of the parking lot before they get busted, in comes Keisuke causing another OhCrap reaction from them. Then Takumi arrives, alongside Itsuki (sporting a smug "I told you so" look, to boot), [[RuleOfThree completing the trifecta]] of OhCrap moments for the posers.

--->'''Keisuke:''' ''(cracking his fists)'' The second problem... [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking is that my impostor is so incredibly ugly.]] That deserves a few broken bones...

* ''Fifth Stage'', Episode 4: Taking advantage of the downtime in between Project D's expeditions that summer, Takumi goes out with Mika on the beach. Taking Bunta's Impreza with him.
-->'''Bunta:''' ''(while looking at the Trueno)'' That brat took the Imp because the [=A/C=] works better.
* Sure, there's the method by which Takumi learned how to race uphill (driving carefully to avoid toppling the tofu bin, while still going as fast as he can), but as for why he's so good at the downhill too: after every tofu delivery, he only drives fast ''so he can go home and go back to sleep as soon as he can.''

* A real-life example, but it deserves mention: the Tokyopop dub's HilariousOuttakes included on every disc (except volume 2). Say what you will about the changes they made, but [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dVcKYWiaaEk have]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qGcMu0wD36U a]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fUM_DvMgRjA listen]] to some of 'em; Bunta's especially. Heck, there's quite a bit out there who say these outtakes were the only saving grace of the original dub.

* Episode 24: Bunta invites Takumi's boss Yuichi on an "easy drive" after tuning the vehicle a bit for Takumi's next race. Thus, we finally get to see [[LivingLegend Bunta's]] driving for the first time. In the middle of a high-speed drift that already has Yuichi panicking, Bunta takes both of his hands off the wheel to light up a smoke. [[UpToEleven Then he says he's going to get serious.]]

--> '''Bunta''': '''What in the holy hell?!''' My 86 has been turned into an 85!

* ''Extra Stage'': Satake challenging Impact Blue on Usui, expecting to win because [[HeManWomanHater he's not a woman]], [[DidntThinkThisThrough forgetting that he's never raced on Usui before and that Impact Blue are keenly familiar with the course, including the infamously hard corner that he crashes on]]. Utterly humiliated, he begs his crew not to tell Kyouichi.

* Sure, there's the method by which Takumi learned how to race uphill (driving carefully to avoid toppling the tofu bin, while still going as fast as he can), but as for why he's so good at the downhill too: after every tofu delivery, he only drives fast ''so he can go home and go back to sleep as soon as he can.''

--> *Cue a note from Takumi; "I borrowed the car. I left you a replacement."
