I see you’ve written a fic for him before but I wanted to know your general thoughts on Bunta?

I barely remember my first impressions of Bunta, but I know I've always liked him. His cool, nonchalant, "I don't give a fuck" attitude was always kinda funny to me in a good way. I love how Yuichi is basically Bunta's version of Itsuki, and loves how Takumi improves in races and calls Bunta and he's all, "Yeah? Well obviously..?" like it's an automatic given to Bunta that his son would excel. Also the fact that he's always like "I'll always be better than Takumi" or anyone in terms of racing, like a humble bragging if that makes sense.

I also love the subtle fact that he always tweaks the 8-6 for Takumi and can easily pick up on what races he's about to partake in and knows exactly what to change the 8-6's settings to as if he already know how the opponents are gonna act and drive.

Like Takumi, I also found his cryptic advice frustrating but enjoyable at the same time. Like an anticipation for the viewers, but also gave us the same frustration he gave Takumi that it wasn't good advice if at all until later.

Of course, my favourite part of him is when he takes Yuichi for a drive and just wants to have a smoke. Bro gives zero shits that Yuichi is about to shit in his car from fear lmao. It's pretty much in that scene where we see just how similar Bunta and Takumi are. We see Itsuki and Iketani lose their shit when Takumi drives them around on Akina, and we're like, okay, sure, they're teens, they're gonna be crazy and dramatic with this stuff, then it goes to Bunta and Yuichi and it's the same thing just with older men. The mirroring of the two is funny.

I also love how we see him get softer on Takumi after the 8-6's engine blows, it shows that despite how cold and blunt he always seems on the outside, he's soft on the inside and does actually care.

On an ending note, this might be a hot take and I might sound like Natsuki on this, but I can see Bunta being a lowkey dilf. Nothing crazy, but I at least see it as he's a good looking dude for his age, and not going to the extent of Mercedes Man. Something about older guys who have that colder exterior with the 'i don't care' attitude topped off with the softer inside just hits man.

I literally had an Anime level battle against a teammate that tried to ruin the race for all of us, and it went beautifully.

This guy in the red car was constantly slamming our teammates and eventually tries to bully me off the road when I confront him.

He learns quite fast just the kind of driver he's messing with. I got too much experience and respect for the other racers to let this guy get a victory and I put him in his place.
