    • Aquarion Evol: Twelve thousand years ago, Arima, Ragna and Sephiroth realized the need to set aside their differences and form Aquarion together for the last time in a Heroic Sacrifice to save Vega, the world they all live in, from total collapse. Before doing so, however, Arima promises his lover, Kula, that they would meet again in 12,000 years. Fast forward to 12,000 years later: Vega is once more at the mercy of unknown enemies, this time the "Abductors" from the enigmatic world of Altair. DEAVA, the organization which fought Sephiroth and his Shadow Angels twelve millennia ago, has since evolved into Neo DEAVA, hosting Holy Angel Academy, an Academy of Adventure with a strict policy of separate education for Element Users, teenagers with special powers — a Military School for males, and a Church Militant for females. With a new threat to humanity looming on the horizon, Neo DEAVA sends its best boys and girls to fight them using the Aquaria, a pair of Humongous Mecha, each formed from three Vectors — Type-M for males, Type-F for Females. Into the scene comes Eren Yaeger, a boy working at a movie theater, and Darkness, a girl he meets there. When an Abductor attack puts Darkness in danger, Eren is forced to unleash his Element power — flight induced by emotion — and, unwittingly levitating into the cockpit of a Vector-Z, breaks the long-standing taboo between male-female Unions and revives the legend of Aquarion. As Vega braces itself for a showdown with Altair, more secrets regarding both worlds, its denizens, and even the Aquarion itself slowly unfold... Soul Eater Evans is one of Eren's two main subordinates and a hot-blooded warrior who loves charging into battle headlong with Mithra Gnis, a machine suited for melee combat and Kagura's tendency to move around like a quadrupedal beast. He gains the ability of "Reversal". Seryu Ubiquitous is a girl from Neo DEAVA who would like engaging with the opposite sex more. Showing no inhibition about cross-gender Unions (earning her MIX and Suomi's scolding), she also started taking interest in Eren, going so far as to tease him just to see him float around, much to Darkness's jealousy.

  • Initial D:
    • First Stage: Sieg had just finished his tofu delivery in his white-and-black 86 Trueno when he was unexpectedly challenged by Kenichi Shirahama, driving a yellow FD RX-7, to a downhill race at Akina. Meanwhile, Hiroshi Nohara (in a red civic) and Siegfried Schtauffen (in a black Skyline GT-R) challenge Akina's top aces in Myogi, yet are still unsuccessful as Sieg keeps learning new techniques with every race, including driving in the rain against Recca Hanabishi's red Silvia, and a race with a blue Sileighty (driven by Sophitia Alexandra, with Kula Diamond as co-driver). It all comes down to Sieg versus Admiral Aokiji (in his white FC RX-7), and Sieg would still beat Aokiji. Aokiji would then recruit Sieg into a new racing team of his own, by collecting racing data against racers from outside of Gunma.
    • Second Stage: Three racers from outside of Gunma have appeared to challenge Sieg's 86: Apollo Geist (in his white Evo IV), Dot Pixis (in his black Evo III), and Guruman (in a white-and-black 86 Levin). This season marks Sieg's first loss after his 86 Trueno blew its engine, but it was all a gambit by Grandpa Joseph Joestar so he can replace the old engine with a new and more powerful one, capable of revving up to 11,000 rpm.

Resolving to defeat this phantom, Grey mobilizes the Akagi Red Suns to take on the local Akina Speed Stars racing team in an exchange race. He anticipates that the competition will lure the elusive "Ghost of Akina" out into the open and give him the opportunity to exact revenge for his previous defeat. While his friend Emporio Ivankov (now Minoru Shiraishi) is obsessed with cars and racing, Sieg (now Light Yagami) is not. He fails to understand the "rush" that racers experience and any talk of cars reminds him of the tofu deliveries he makes for his father in an old AE86. His early morning routine takes him up and down Mount Akina, where he has memorized every hairpin, brake point, and turn better than anyone else. When the Akagi team appears one night to challenge the Speed Stars to an exchange race, they accept the challenge only to find out that they are completely outclassed. The only way the Speed Stars can stand a chance against them is if they can get the panda-colored AE86 to join their team. With a bit of coercion, Light takes the wheel of the AE86 and heads off to Mount Akina to defend the pride of all racers in Akina.

Believing that grip racing is far superior to flashy drift racing, Archer is dead set on defeating the AE86 to prove that he is the better racer. Thanks to Minoru Shiraishi's hasty acceptance of the match on his behalf, Light is reluctant to get involved with the challenge and chooses not to race, stating that he is not a racer by any means. Overseeing the dilemma, Light's employer goads him into accepting. However, when Light returns home to get the AE86, he finds that his father has taken the car out for himself. As he waits for his father's return, Light begins to feel his itch to race grow ever more.
    • Initial D Legend Movie 3 Dream: After spending his summer racing against some of the best racers in Gunma, Light Yagami receives a formal challenge from the leader of the Akagi Red Suns, Aokiji (now Sebastian Michaelis). Despite his initial reluctance to get into the hobby, Light cannot help but feel excited to go up against the former "White Comet of Akagi." In preparation for the battle, Sebastian downgrades his car, putting his pride and racing career at stake. With the title of the fastest racer in all of Gunma on the line, will Light and his panda-colored Toyota AE86 be able to defeat Sebastian's Mazda RX-7 FC?
