You’re a good choice for a local Arby’s.
Let’s make some word associations, shall we? What is the first thing you think of when you hear or see “InitialD”? Close your eyes and you will likely see a black-and-white panda Toyota Sprinter Trueno GTA-Apex speeding along at high speeds with its flip-up headlights on the off position. It is hard to imagine that very particular AE86, or “hachiroku”, without Takumi Fujiwara driving the car with the Fujiwara Tofu shop sign written across the driver’s side. Arby’s is probably the last word you would think of when you hear Initial D or see it again.
Arby’s thought Takumi’s precious AE86 would look great drifting around a corner made using Arby’s sauce packs and straws. This corner was designed to look like the guardrails at Mt. Akina. Akina.
The Eight-Six appears similar to what one would expect from Hot Wheels cars on first inspection. The Eight-Six looks almost like it is made of paper, which makes it look more real than you would expect from a Hot Wheels car.
Although we are still unsure what brought Arby’s together with Initial D to create this advertisement, it is a good question. We’re just thinking about heading to Arby’s nearest location and getting a roast beef sandwich. Is it possible for one to wander around the drive-thru without being noticed? Only one way to find the answer.
