Bunta Vs. Takumi

What's this about a race between Bunta and Takumi?! Where/when did this take place? I am sure it is probably only Manga, but I still would like to know.

its probably the last thing that happens i don't know much about it but guessing from the Game and things i've heard i'd say its probably between Bunta's WRX Sti and Takumi's Trueno

You can guess why Bunta uses the Sti if you know something about its design.

Well I figured as much about the car's makes and models. I just wanted to know where it showed up on. I really want to read that....I wish TokyoPop woiuld hurry!

What's so special about its design? Where does Bunta get the WRX from? I wish I had the manga.

I heard he just buys it, when he thinks Takumi is ready to own the Trueno? When do we get to see what happens with Ryosuke's team? And when the hell does he get the black hood?

It's all in the Manga. I wish that they'd come out with a 4th Stage (tv series)...you know how big it would be?!?! IT'D BE HUGE

No doubt it would be huge. And with the following that is growing every day here in the States....I am sure they have somebody somewhere working on that. Profit drives production.

yup its all in the manga, even though im not happy with the name change im still dying to see what happens after stage 3. anyways from what i heard the reason why Bunta picked up the WRX was because after Takumi joined Team D and go off to college, he was no longer able to make the tofu runs. so Bunt had to get another car.

Bunta wins this race, right???

are you sure you want to know

I'm very confident that Bunta beats Takumi. What I'm not sure of is whether if its a close race because Takumi has gotten better and tailed Bunta right to the end or if Bunta beat the crap out of him and won by a large margin.

DON'T SAY A DAMN THING!!! I wanna find out for myself, I can live with the suspense. :biggrin:

What other spoilers besides Takumi racing Bunta do you know about the manga?

The Subaru uses a weight distribution design that gives the car equal balance and since Bunta uses a Trueno and that has no TC then i figured it makes sense that he has a STi

Don't you think it's drastic for Bunta to go from a N/A Rear Wheel Drive to an AWD Turbo?

ok, here's someone who really read the comic of takumi racing bunta.

It is an early morning, takumi delivering tofu using the mountain roads, and he just won a professional driver by luck.

Out of a sudden, an imprezza sti appeared in his rear, at that time, he didn't know who's driving, but readers should be able to guess it's bunta.

So, takumi decided not to give way, because his passion, and mood for racing is still on since yesterday's race.

He steps on the throttle, and the imprezza follows tightly.

After tackling a couple of corners, he felt the amazing power of the car, and the unbelievable skill of the driver, so he decided to slip his tires into the asphalt.

At the very moment, the imprezza did exactly the same thing. At the same speed, they accomplished the corner, and while takumi took the exit, he understeered a little, which i dont even consider it as a mistake, and bunta overtook from the inside. ohhh.....did i mention easily?

and you see the imprezza takes full throttle and acc all the way, leaving the 86 in it's dust.

I wouldn't go so far to call it a race, more like an unofficial challenge.

Yeah, thats what happened, later on the story, Bunta calls the shop that he was test driving the car from and says "Ill take it" or something similar, its in the manga, this is right before the race with the AE85 and the S15

From the game...which is only a game....takumi beats him (me)hahahaha and he is all suprised that he got a new car and yeah

In the game you do not play as Takumi, you play as yourself...
you only play as Takumi in Special Stage, but its all in Japanese so i dont know the direct translation

Yeah man, from Special Stage. In story mode you play as takumi not anyone else...well you do but they varies

D you actually own Special Stage or are you just guessing?
You play from Takumi's perspective, then as the Akagi Redsuns, the last few missions are played with Project D, if you dont understand Japanese I dont recommend that you buy it, as half of the game is all cutscenes with no subtitles (each mission has its own objectives, if you understand em, sucks for you. its not just about passing)

Of course I have the game. Well...they change you...like you start off as takumi..then keisuke...its story mode..you know what I'm saying

ok.. i need this manga, i'm going to Boarders Books today

it really dosn't sound like Bunta getting a high tech machine like an STi.

Ok, ok
The only way you can get the full manga is a scanlation, TokyoPop only has released about 4 Volumes...
The things i pull from the manga are far into Project D, and I dont think TokyoPop has gone even as far as beyond the AE85 race...

And yes Bunta gets a Impreza WRX STi Type R (GC8), he lets Takumi drive for a while, and then Takumi rejects it because he doesnt like it...

aye does ne1 know which volume or chapter dat bunta vs. takumi takes place???

Stage 4 premieres in Japan in a couple days!

how do you all know what happens in the books if they are not translated.

well.......some people can understand japanese.It's no like its a laguage that nobody can speak.Plus, there are translations out on the net...although they are very very hard to find.I myself am still looking for them.

I have the manga but would like translations for them.Seeing as how i can understand japanese but not read, it's a problem.Also, the pictures are pretty straightforward in telling the story.
