>Haha that's our Takumi, staring off, never talking to us unprompted, always lost in his thoughts, always going off to be by himself, looking deeply unhappy, continually giving us the impression he is dissatisfied with something, under continuous pressure and simultaneous neglect from his dad and always looking like he's contemplating something alone! What a goofball why won't he focus on this dead end gas station job or racing cars HAHAHA HOW SILLY HE IS!
Do this guy's friends say anything about his severe fucking depression at any point?
Haha that's our Takumi, staring off, never talking to us unprompted, always lost in his thoughts...

>diagnosing anime characters with real mental illnesses again
You retards never cease to make me kek
Go back to figuring out every Idolm@ster idol's illness until you realize what a character is.
Blake Allen
did this dude ever get back together with that girl again.
Dominic Moore
>that girl
The actual canonical prostitute? Who also fucked his friend.
Lol no, and that's a really good thing
Cooper Bennett
He just knows how to do one thing and he's done that one thing for YEARS. After a while it gets mundane.
He does develop an interest in racing because he can gain some sort of recognition by his peers.
Anthony Myers
wait she fucked his friend, who?
Nathan Brooks
no way social commentary in my racing manga!
William Hill
Papa's son who is the soccer captain that Takumi punched and ran over his celica. Father and son sharing a high school girl.
Noah Wood
This anime got boring fast, but was carried by the side characters and music.
Takumi should have lost multiple times but muh plot armor (God Hand being an old fart and stopping ten meters before the goal to puke at the side of the road).
James Thompson
brah, so you are telling me the MC in NTR stories lmao
Jose Collins
Where does it state that Miki's father is Papa?
Noah Nelson
yes.
Jackson Mitchell
he's japanese
Luke Price
Sometimes people dont have anything fucking wrong with them and are just naturally introverted and plain, that's the whole appeal of Takumi.
Everyone likes to make headcanons about him being depressed or having autism but the truth is the dude has a boring average life to which aside from not having a mom, has no reason to be depressed with all the friends and respect he's earned from being a good kid. Yeah he works at a gas station and doesnt have many hobbies but he's 17 fucking years old, he's lucky he even found a name for himself in street racing
Elijah Nelson
The only Idolshit illness that needs diagnosis is that of the fans.
Michael Phillips
Sucks that his character development toned down his autism. It's an endearing trait.
Christian Rivera
>bro, like what if our shounen racing manga was an ebic social commentary or something? wouldn't that be something? haHA it'd be like i could unironically like this and jerk off to my friends at what an intellectual i am for liking dude EUROBEAT
why the fuck do people need every character to have a stupid chip on their shoulder or some cliche sobstory background? must be a mutt thing like how mutt comedies are always considered kino when there's some shitty hamfisted drama at the end
Chase Gutierrez
The amount of asians who tried to imitate Takumi's demeanor was staggering back in the 2000s.
Brayden Russell
What the absolute fuck are you going on about?
Kayden Perry
It was a different time.
Jeremiah Jones
That's natural Asian behaviour.
Isaiah Perry
It's really indescribable, isn't it? Once you've experienced it, everything seems mundane compared to racing. The adrenaline, the split second decisions, the force that you get thrown around with. It's quiet a sensation, wouldn't you say so, user?
Oliver Barnes
You get a handful of them in every comedy too
Isaiah Cooper
It wasn't, however you either accept that papa got retconned out of the history or make up some headcannon to keep him in
Jason Watson
So Initial D's author either hates women or has had terrible experience with women, right?
First couple seasons were nice, it was about a small group of guys being (or becoming in Takumi's case) really passionate about street racing for the most part. It became solely focused on racing and dropped the other aspects which helped make it good later on though.
Elijah Foster
He gets with some autist chick who's like him except autistic about golf
well she hardly appears really but it seemed like they had a thing
Tyler Hughes
He only has room in his heart for cars.
Sebastian Hall
The third Legend movie has meme subs.
Andrew Hughes
Have you met carguys dude?
Benjamin Ward
Who?
Chase Wilson
him
