Shirako is one of the best drivers in the sireas but he has his flaws like communication because of his music he almost died in the cliff side realm but he has his pros because of his music hes almost always calm witch always helps with consecration for driving being colm would make your decisions a lot easier to make compared to being stressed that makes the drivers lose there cars a lot easier

i like that Shirako speaks at least 20 times in the whole movie yet his character is always there and thats why i consider him as such a unique character
Can we just address that he was dropped from like 70 feet in the air and didn’t freak out or scream once, Shirako is the coolest character in all of hot wheels
@@RedLee20 Taro is also Japanese, but his seat is on the left. Though this is likely because Tezla made his previous car and is located in North America.
It's never ever said, but I like to think Shirako is the one in universe that actually makes all these cool Teku style songs he plays throughout the series. That's why when he said "Teku-izing" to Gig when he was editing Kurt's systems my dude really meant it
I’ll contest that. In Cliffside part 1 (I think), Shirako made a remark about how he couldn’t download new songs. At best, he’s probably the one who outfits every car with their sound system
@@minecraftWithDanielDhey artists can appreciate others work and it's probably easier to download new stuff while driving than MAKE new stuff while driving lmao
Not only he's great vibing with his subs but he also a beast in controlling the turbo jet, i mean beside vert, only shirako that using turbo jets in creative ways, like he using the combo turbo jet + mega bass to wipeout the whole drones with bike and its one of the most badass moment in the series
I love that while the rest of the drivers are stressing about either the fate of the world, being the best driver, or personal baggage, Shirako is out here pursuing the most *_I M M A C U L A T E_* of vibes.
Love this series, own the whole thing. Really sad they didn't do anything with the cliffhanger ending. Still listen to the soundtrack to this as well when driving in games.
@@CobraRaptor They were so intimidated by the success of their commercial that they shut it down? Talk about a "Do Well, But Not Perfect" fallacy, holy crap. That just pisses me off -- if they shut it down 'cause it was failing I'd understand, but it was _too good?_
@@CobraRaptor the acceleracers hot wheels were my fav and best in quality and design. Now if you wanna buy it, you gotta pay like $40-$100. I remember the day when i could walk in to toysrus and pay $1.99 smh
I wish that game was more playable, but there's just no point in using the base versions of any cars when v.2 is available. ...Except Bassline, if I recall. I'm pretty sure I had a deck that had both Basslines in it.
What confuses me the most, is that Shirako got mad only after He lost a single Sub, but not when Kurt *literally wasted His whole stereo on wheels* He wasn't even mad at Kurt. Such a bro.
Shirako is the only driver who never once wiped out trough a fault of his own. He gets wrecked by a drone and then a drone controlled teku car but never trough his own driving
This show was so cool as a kid. It felt mature, the characters were unique and fun. The conflict felt believable... it had no cursing or immodesty.....(being a 'kids show' yet isn't childish). Wish it got the ending it deserved. These yahoos are obsessed with diversity. Why don't they finish this series? Idk.... they'd probably make it worse.
It should have been finished when it was made and it was a show ahead of its time with a surprising diverse cast for the time. Though it did technically have some end but no one could really access jt
If you listen closely at 3:53 to 3:58 you can hear a engine in the music Shirakos Listening to, I think they recycled audio from another scene and forgot to cut the engine audio
Shirrako just be in his own little world. Im making it my personal canon that hes a hardcore pothead as well. Bro is way too relaxed in multiple life or death situations
Accelerate is easily my favorite song from acceleracers. Actually just imported a Holden Ute a few days ago so I could make my own bassline. The one childhood dream I’ve always wanted to make come true
4:04 The guy says he has no music! It's really silly! 4:50 He doesn't even care if the car itself was blown up, drowned or not! 5:05 Is it the same song? 5:05/8:20 What song is this? 5:35 He's really silly! 5:50/8:10 The way he drives is so cool! 6:25 I wish there was this version changed in the 29 minutes of the best teku sound 8:10 Always like that, cool, like that ye
I love Shirako, he's easily one of my favorite acceleracers characters. I do feel he was underused a little bit, but all round still one of my favorites.
20 years later still the best character XD also i cant imagine to favor metal maniacs instead of teku. TEKU is so clean & stylish. METAL MANIACS are so dirty & rusty
"Hey, thanks for the lift."
"Hoho, _yo."_

@@carloshernandez6513 No, it's total jibberish. "Hoho" is just him laughing, and "yo" is a way to say hello. Which makes no sense in this context.

Shirako is my favorite character, and can confirm.
Shirako is definitely one of those people that you would want to just chill with and listen to music all day, his taste for music is incredible.
I know one of those people. Really polite too. They don’t have much to say, but great vibes.
i love music and his music so i would definatly chill with shirako, and if i was doing an RP i would be his younger brother

I'm still surprised they could hold Sparky up
Can we just address that he was dropped from like 70 feet in the air and didn’t freak out or scream once, Shirako is the coolest character in all of hot wheels
He was vibin' to his music so yeah
I just realized, his driver's seat is on his right compared to other drivers.
Thats cuz hes Japanese.
yet, bassline as casting have steering wheel on left. funny.

2) Kurt Wylde
3) Pork Chop
4) Monkey
5) Tork
6) Kadeem
7) Vert
8) Karma
9) Shirako
10) Sparky

As a musician I agree.
His vibe is so powerful that even the tires are vibing 1:20
What a giga chad. Mans was about to get his fade checked by some killer robots and he just stood there chillin.
Shirako is the concept of the term "just vibing" in human form.
If you liked shirako back then , you probably listen to house & techno today .
True
Yeah, I believe most of the guys added 2010 dubstep and phonk to the playlist too.

This is the most 2000s show I have seen in a while
Lmao why?
????
This is the definition of y2k aestatic
literal Chad. had his priorities CLEAR. best driver there effortlessly, unproblematic and unbothered KING
One of the best traits I love about Shirrako is that he harbors no hate against the Metal Maniacs. He's just there to vibe!

My favorite clip was the last of Pork Chop giving him a lift. Walking slowly to the car😂🤣
And then pork chop was cursing him under his breath😭
I have a fan theory that Shirako was a DJ or a rapper before the events of Acceleracers.
Agreed
pothead DJ, you cant tell me otherwise. Dude is way too relaxed in all his life or death moments lol
7:40 gives overtaking to a whole new meaning
Shirako's gonna pass you
I guess Japanese racers have a tendency to pass you
I bet Shirako has a Bachelor’s in Sound Engineering and Electronics Engineering. He knows how to develop sound systems and program them

Best of shirako: every scene he’s in because he’s perfect
I love that some ppl still care about Acceleracers after almost 20 years
Literally one of the best Teku members, I love him.
I’m so glad this series still holds up and its not just something you can like as a young kid it’s literally become a yearly rewatch for me
Shirako is just a straight up vibe.
Dudes have one of the least screen time and i already love him
best series, it's a shame that it was discontinued
Yo let's pump up the BASSLINE 🔊🔊🔊🎵🎵
Bruhh are we just gonna ignore the angle he had at 4:00
I'M SORRY, BUT WAS HE REALLY BAD MOUTHING DEATH THAT HARD?!?!?!
Shirako is just a living vibe.
Aside from the Diora II, Baseline was the car I wanted the most when I was a kid. Plus Shirako was my favorite character back then.
I had the diecast. Its now safe and loud.
Diora II got destroyed
i like the only time shirako shows some / extreme emotion is when he is on his mortocycle going "whoo-hoo!"
Every “yo”

8:25
Every “cool”

He may not be the best driver of all the Teku but he sure does come out more safely than others. And then their's bassline, great car to have.
The calmest one of them All
Until a drone ripped out his subwoofers in the Cosmic Realm
Aw man, there go the subs!
It took me years before i figured out his name wasn't Stinku
😂😂😂
My favourite character of the series and his car (bassline) is so amazing!
You awoke some repressed memories. I remember owning the swamp hot wheels set and owning the card game!
I wish that game was more playable, but there's just no point in using the base versions of any cars when v.2 is available. ...Except Bassline, if I recall. I'm pretty sure I had a deck that had both Basslines in it.

"Hello!"
"YOU GOT LEGS!"
