Notes & Trivia []

  • Akagi RedSus

    The mismatched cars and colors of the RedSuns

    During one of the scenes which shows the RedSuns arriving at Akina, there is an animation error showing Ryosuke having a yellow FC, Keisuke with a white FD and Kenta with an orange FD.
  • In the Funimation dub, Iketani says that "Keisuke and Takahashi don't come close to his level of ability". This line is incorrect, with the correct line being "Keisuke and Takeshi".
    • The same error happened in the Latin Spanish dub but in a line from Itsuki.
