So after watching one of the later episodes of Initial D Fourth Stage (like when Takumi's battling God Hand) I thought of a strange comparison, well maybe not so strange. Ryousuke mentions that God Hand's one-hand-steer is like a more complete version of Shingo's Gumtape Death Match style. Cogs started turning when I heard that. I imagined a 40-year-old Shingo and a 40-year-old Nakazato (I know most people call him Takeshi, but I like Nakazato better) if they continued racing till their middle ages, they might be the future God Hand and God Foot.
God Hand- Joshima Toshia. A man who drives with only one hand on the wheel and the other one the shifter. He leaves them like that, but still can drive like hell. He drives an S2000, the Honda AP1.
God Foot- Hoshino Kouzou. He has "god-like" acceleration techniques. As a testement to that, he can drift his car, his GT-R. You supposedly can't drift it because of the system it has, when it's activated of course.

Man, these two guys much be rich to have those cars...
They aren't as good as the Project D guys, with all their luck and all. But really... The two of them, if they continued racing for 20 more years, they're bound to get better and better. And that's not all. Look at them. God Hand and God Foot. Then look at Shingo and Nakazato. They really look like older versions of the two Night Kids. But honestly, God Hand is more of a cross between Shingo and Ryousuke, at 40+ years old.
Nakazato and God Foot probably have the same amount of hair too. Lol... Imagine Nakazato gaining quite a few pounds or kilograms... Also, Ryousuke (it seems like he gets all the references, huh?) mentions in the Second Stage, during the battle between Nakazato and Seiji, that Nakazato has good acceleration techniques, but falls to pressure easily. Hmm... God Foot shouts a lot when he races, or at least when he goes off to drive fast on the touge. It supposedly is like a "cooling system" for him. Ok... Not only that, he seems to like Keisuke. I don't think in a yaoi way though. People can pair Nakazato and Keisuke as much as they want. It just doesn't look right if you pair Keisuke and God Foot, Nakazato... He's fine... Nakazato, save your money so maybe one day you can buy another "R".
Maybe, one day, Shingo will remove the tape from his hand and still drive like he has it around his hand. Practice... I suppose consists of pretending to have tape on your hand... God Hand supposedly has bad habits that come out when his opponent is tough... He doesn't bump into them or brake in front of them though. He likes to patiently watch his opponent from behind first and attack later... No spoilers on that part. Ok, so maybe Shingo is like him only through the possible one-hand steer thing. Mostly, it's like looking at Ryousuke in the future. Heck, God Hand is a doctor for crying out loud! Although he does look like an older Shingo, slightly, with glasses.
Either way, I think the Night Kids are like the future Purple Shadow. But still, even though I've been thinking about this for weeks now, no possible plot is revealing itself to me. And other than that, even though God Hand and God Foot are probably one of the best drivers in the series, there are no fics about them... Ah, I hope someone makes a good one. Mine are still Mary Sue-dominated fics, so I don't bother putting them on the net.
