Sep 22ndBosozoku car feature: Demon Cedric Y31

So, what’s left if you get bored with your bosozoku style die cast collection? You create an itasha out of it!

No, I’m not out of my mind posting a scale model in the car features! The reason for this is because it is a very well done itasha model! 😉

First of all the amount of detail put into the bosozoku style is amazing! It has got a double zigzag exhaust, a tiny tsurikawa and a gigantic double spoiler on the trunk!

At the front is has got a sharknose, a supercharger sticking out of the bonnet, an oilcooler and a lip which can be used as a snow shovel during wintertime!

It even has tiny little Marshal decals on the headlights, a tiny Cedric hood badge and a double horn under the sharknose!

You may wonder what the itasha part of this model is… Well, the theme of the itasha is Urusei Yatsura (aka Lum), which is an anime and manga series about demon aliens invading the Earth. Bosozoku were called demons as well and in the Urusei Yatsura manga the aliens resembled bosozoku! Main character Lum is a female alien (so she is a demon!) who is capable of flying and generating electrical shocks and lightning. Hence the big lightning zigzag exhaust!

On the inside the itasha is covered in tiger plush, just like the skirt of Lum. Tiny little manga are covered all over the floor of the car and there is even a screen showing the anime!

The antenna with the two carp streamers is also a pun on one of the episodes shown on Children’s Day (when Japanese hang out these flags) when they meet a boy called Kintaro.

All in all this is a very nicely done crossover between bosozoku style and itasha! Not only the car is bosozoku, but also the itasha theme is bosozoku! Now that’s in my opinion worth posting in the car features! 😉
