Based on the manga by Shigeno Shuichi, the anime "Initial D" is set in Mount Akina in Gunma Prefecture and depicts amateur drivers known as "hashiriya" competing across the Kanto region in an attempt to become the "fastest on public roads." As the series is about car battles, there are many quotes that will inspire your competitive spirit, but we have also carefully selected some that will make you think about yourself.
Famous quote from Initial D: If one can go there, there's no reason why this one can't. Go for it!
These are Takumi Fujiwara's words from episode 17, "Sudden Death Match." Their opponent was the Sileighty, the fastest car on the Usui Pass. I think the expression "Whoever does it wins" best describes this. Everyone has probably experienced at least once the feeling of holding back because they think they can do something even though the other person can.
Famous quote from Initial D: Whoever loses first loses! This is a test of endurance!!
These are the words of Wataru Akiyama. Even when an argument develops over something trivial, losing your temper will expose you. This makes me think that the most important thing is how patiently you can respond.
Famous quote from Initial D: If you keep taking the easy way out, things will only get worse.
When you're not good at or don't like something, you tend to put it off or put it off, but it ultimately becomes a burden on you. Even if you know it's going to happen, it can be difficult to not run away and do it.
Famous quote from Initial D: Give it your all and have fun. This time, I'll see it through to the end.
These are the words of Hojo Rin, also known as the Grim Reaper GT-R. These were spoken to his younger brother, Hojo Go, during the final battle of the Fifth Stage. They were a sign of kindness, a desire to help ease the burden his brother had been carrying. When you're trying to tackle something new, these words might motivate you to "do your best."
Initial D Quote: Don't be satisfied with a small stage, look to the wider world.
These are the words of Ryosuke Takahashi. These words, spoken to Takumi, who was worried about his future, gave him the push he needed.
Famous quote from Initial D: I think the Hachiroku had some kind of will, and sacrificed itself to give it that final boost.
These are Takumi's words from the final race of Project D. When the Hachiroku is facing off against the other Hachiroku, he makes a blind attack out of a desire not to lose. In the process, the engine, which is supposed to only be able to turn at 9,000 rpm, exceeds this limit and blows up. These words make me feel like his feelings are being conveyed to something he holds dear.
