The Fast and the Furious (Anime Parody)

by MrWii000

In the underworld of street racing in LA, a young detective and up-and-coming street racer joins a team of street racers that act like a family. But when he begins to close in on his mission of apprehend the culprits of a series of truck hijackings, this young officer will be forced to make a difficult choice: family or duty.

Hi, everybody! I'M BAAAAAAAAAAACCCCCCCK!

And now, I've decided to start a passion project that I've been thinking of since ten years ago: an anime parody of the Fast & Furious movie franchise.

For those who don't know, the Fast & Furious franchise is Universal Studio's biggest franchise—as well as my favorite movie series of all time. Of course, the franchise has most recently been known as a superhero franchise with the heroes and villains pulling off over-the-top, reality-breaking car stunts (plus always mentioning family); however, that's NOT the case for the first few movies—especially this FIRST one: The Fast and the Furious.

Back then, the franchise was described as a crime drama disguised as a street racing action franchise, and the stunts—while awesome and ridiculous—still seemed more real and possible to pull off than in the latter movies.

Just a few notes before we proceed:
01. By anime parody, I mean having anime characters from anime franchises playing F&F characters.
02. I will only be focusing on the F&F movies (including spin-offs Like Hobbe & Shaw and the upcoming Hobbe & Reyes)…AND their short film prologues.
03. Only one anime character per franchise.
04. These anime characters will be playing characters whose actors are listed in the opening/closing (and BEFORE the credit crawl) credits of the movie.
04*. For example:
04**. The following actors ARE in the opening/closing credits and thus are able to have their characters be portrayed by anime:
04***. Dwayne Johnson
04***. Gal Gadot
04***. Jason Statham
04***. John Cena
04***. Jordana Brewster
04***. Ludacris
04***. Michelle Rodriguez
04***. Paul Walker
04***. Sung Kang
04***. Tyrese Gibson
04***. Vin Diesel
04**. The following actors are uncredited and/or found in the credit crawl and thus are able to have their characters be portrayed by anime (but that's not to say they might not get a chance in a future movie or two):
04***. Celestino Cornielle
04***. Clara Paget
04***. Greg Cipes
04***. Jiermarie Osorio
04***. John Cenatiempo
04***. Keiichi Tsuchiya
04***. Kevin Hart
04***. Pete Davidson
04***. Reggie Lee
04***. Ryan Reynolds
04***. Vinnie Bennett
04*. For more information: go to the Anime Fanon Wiki and type "Fast & Furious (Anime Parody)".
05. Keep an open mind: There are a lot of great anime out there, so I am VERY sorry if I don't have your favorite anime character from your favorite anime franchise playing your favorite F&F character; that being said, you CAN give me recommendations in the comments and/or private messaging.
06. Only English dubbed anime (even if the entirety of the said anime franchise remains undubbed—although characters only appearing in undubbed portions are ineligible).
06*. The following anime ARE dubbed and are thus eligible (but NOT guaranteed):
06**. Cowboy Bebop
06**. Death Note
06**. Dragon Ball
06**. Durarara!
06**. Fate
06**. Fullmetal Alchemist
06**. Gundam
06**. Initial D
06**. Naruto
06**. Pokémon
06**. Speed Racer
06*. The following anime (unless the characters are portraying an F&F character that speaks Japanese and does NOT speak any fluent English) are UNdubbed and are thus INeligible (though they may have a chance when—of IF—they get dubbed):
06**. Bunny Drop
06**. Descending Stories: Showa Genroku Rakugo Shinju
06**. Hajime no Ippo
06**. Heroman
06**. Monogatari
06**. Nisekoi
06**. Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai
06**. Reborn!
06**. The Tatami Galaxy
06**. Tomorrow's Joe
06**. Wangan Midnight
06*. The undubbed Digimon Universe: App Monsters portion of the Digimon franchise is currently ineligible.
07. That being said, the anime also needs to have a Japanese voice track as well (thus no Afro Samurai; sorry).
08. No anime-inspired cartoons (like Avatar: The Last Airbender, Cartoon Network's Teen Titans, or Totally Spies!)
08*. Although Season 1 of Star Wars: Visions is co-Japanese (being animated by various Japanese studios), Season 2 is completely worldwide, thus that series is ineligible.
09. Japanese F&F characters are only allowed to be played by Japanese anime characters.
09*. For example: Naruto's Orochimaru may be allowed to play Takashi (Brian Tee).
10. Non-Japanese characters living in Japan are NOT allowed to be played by Japanese anime characters.
10*. For example: Tenchi Muyo's Nobuyuki Masaki will NOT be allowed to play the Japan-residing American Lieutenant Boswell (Brian Goodman).
11. Black-skinned anime characters are ONLY allowed to be play black-skinned F&F characters.
11*. For example: Tenjho Tenge's Bob Makihara may be allowed to play Roman Pearce (Tyrese Gibson) but NOT Sean Boswell (Lucas Black).
12. I will mainly be focusing on anime SHOWS and NOT anime movies (though there may be a few exceptions).
13. For the casting of the anime characters, I will be including their series'—not movie's—voice actors.
13*. For example: If I were to cast Slam Dunk's Hanamichi Sakuragi as Brian O'Conner (Paul Walker), then Hanamachi's series' voice actor, Robert Tinkler, will reprise his role in the English dub.
13*. That being said: If an anime series' voice actor is unable to return, then they will be replaced by their closest-known voice actor.
13**. Referring back to Slam Dunk: if Tinkler has retired and/or passed away and/or is unable to return as Hanamachi, then Hanamachi's next closest voice actor, Ben Balmaceda, from The First Slam Dunk movie, will have to fill in the English role.
14. I will mostly be going for the uncut/unedited/unchanged English dubbed anime.
14*. Like:
14**. Initial D's Funimation dub over TokyoPop's.
14**. One Piece's Funimation dub over 4Kids'.
15. If an anime has TWO uncut English dubs, then I will be choosing the more necessary version.
15*. For example: If I were to cast Neon Genesis Evangelion's Shinji Ikari, then he will be voiced in English by ADV's Spike Spencer and NOT Netflix's Casey Mongillo.
16. If an anime character has NO available voice actors to return, then the actor to the F&F character that the anime character is portraying will fill in for the role.
16*. For example: With the passing of the English voice actor for Cells at Work!'s Neutrophil/White Blood Cell, Billy Kametz (RIP), last year, if I were to cast Neutrophil/White Blood Cell as Jimmy (Jin Auyeung), then Auyeung will provide the English voice.
17. I may have to do lots of research on some item, so bare witness if I give objects the wrong name.
18. All my F&F fanfics are rated T (the equivalent to the MPAA's PG-13 movie rating).
19. I cannot promise that the updates will be consistent but expect new chapters on Saturdays at most.
20. Obviously, there will be MAJOR spoilers for the less than 0.00000001% of the world that hasn't seen any of the F&F films, so maybe watch those movies first.
21. (AND MOST IMPORTANTLY) I do not own the F&F franchise, it's characters, or the anime characters; they all belong to their respective owners.

WHEW! Finally! Thank you for understanding, and…

Enjoy

Chapter 1
The Hijackers

Los Angeles—the largest city in California. In the daytime, this city is known for many things, including, but NOT limited to:
· Disneyland
· A self-confident work-hard-play-hard culture
· Suggestive areas like Beverly Hills and Venice Beach
· Major boulevards and roads like Rodeo Drive
· Amusement parks
· Hollywood culture
· Beautiful neighborhoods

However, if you look deep down (or BEEN to this city), then you'll see the dark side of what LA has to offer:
· Violent gangs
· Drug dealings
· Poverty neighborhoods

But none are more so than the topic of our story: illegal street racing.

Every night, street races are held across the city; many street racers race to prove their worth, some race for money, others race for the thrill of it. But regardless of decisions, street racing—like in many other parts of the world—is strictly illegal…

But that is NOT where our story begins—oh no, my friends. Our story begins in a dockyard off the coast of the city…

---

A "Rodgers" container was loaded onto the trailer of a semi-truck; the container contained a bunch of electronics—more specifically: TVs and DVD players. As the container was closed, the truck began moving, and one of the dock handlers pulled out his phone to contact the buyer. "Just packed up a real money load, and it's comin' your way," he said into the phone as he proceeded to walk away. "Look for 'Rodgers' on the side of the truck. Don't forget my share of the deal," he also said before hanging up and watching the truck depart.

---

Later that night, the big rig continued its long journey to its destination…

Inside the truck, the driver was listening to some very loud country music blaring right behind him. Giving off a big yawn, he looked at his watch. "Man! 4 o'clock in the morning! I'm gonna be sleeping like a log when this shit is over."

The driver looked at his rearview mirror and saw three black Honda Civic Coupes with green neon coming up. "Ugh, goddamn street racers," he groaned. But little did the driver know that his delivery was about to be cut short—as one of the Civics suddenly got right in front of his truck. "What the…"

*HOOOOOOOOOONK*

But instead of moving, the Civic remained in place right in front of the truck as a bandit wearing all black clothing and an all black motocross helmet emerged from the sunroof, while the other two Civics drove right beside the targeted big rig.

*HONK* *HONK* *HONK* *HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNK*

But the thug pulled out a speargun to aim at the passenger side windshield, then pulled the trigger…

*THWACK* *DINK*

Once the spear was attached to the windshield, the crook yanked the barb wire attached to the spear, pulling the shield off the truck.

The Civic on the right side then drove forward, and the lead car drove forward to give their companion more space.

Terrified, the truck driver quickly slammed the EMERGENCY button and shouted, "Help! Emergency! I'm being hijacked…"

As the truck driver tried to call for help, another bandit emerged from the second Civic with another speargun in their hand; the first Civic backed up to the right side of the big rig. The bandit of the second car fired a shot…

*THWACK* *DINK*

…hitting the passenger side seat. Emerging from the Civic, the hijacker pulled the barb wire off the speargun, which he placed back into the car, and attached it onto his belt. Then they jumped from the car onto the front of the big rig and into the ripped-off passenger side windshield.

Desperate, the truck driver reached for his bat in the back seat and began whacking at the hijacking intruder, managing to get at least two hits…

*WHACK* *WHACK*

His focus on the bandit caused him to get distracted as his truck began moving left and right due to the constant indirect swerving of the steering wheel.

*PEW*

"*GRUNT*" The big rig driver was quickly shot with a tranquilizer dart fired by the all-black thug.

*WHACK*

He continued to whack at the hijacker again…

*WHACK*

…and again—until…

"*MOAN*" The big rig driver lost consciousness and passed out.

Seizing the opportunity, the hijacker moved the truck driver out of the way and jumped into the driver's seat to commandeer the swerving vehicle. He grabbed the wheel and quickly swung it left…and right…and left again…and right again—until the truck was finally driving steady again. Victorious, the hijacker gave a nervous sigh of relief and slumped back into his seat, but then…he became frantic at what he saw ahead and began slamming the horn…

*HONK* *HONK*

On a bridge, a bunch of construction workers were working on the road, with a long, narrow open path in between their trucks.

"So, Bob, what'cha doin' tonight?" asked a worker.

"Oh, I'm gonna go home," answered another one, "see my wife…and f—"

*HONK* *HOOOOOOOOONNNNNNK*

Just then, the construction crew heard a loud horn sound. Looking where the sound was coming from, they saw a big rig and three black Civics coming their way as they ran into a construction barrel and orange/white-striped traffic barrier.

*HOOONK* *HOOOOOOOOONNNNNNK*

"OH SHIT!"

"GET OUTTA THE WAY!"

The workers quickly jumped to the closest side of the pathway.

The two Civics in front and behind the truck stayed close to the truck, while the one in the middle quickly moved under the big rig, fitting perfectly in the small gap; however, the driver of that Civic had to accelerate and decelerate frequently to avoid hitting the front and back interiors.

Once the hijackers reached the end of the narrow path, the middle Civic moved out from under the hijacked truck and moved forward, matching their companion car on the right side.

After a brief look-around, the truck-driving hijacker pulled out their walkie talkie to contact their leader. "We did it, man! We GOT it!"

"Good job, everyone—that's another one down!" said the leader. "Now let's head home, I gotta feeling we're gonna make MILLIONS off this merchandise."

And with that, the cold open has now come to an end as the hijackers raced off in triumph.

End of Chapter 1
