PokeNirvash Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 (edited) Here's another pitch, this time with an overall plot structure! Spoilermarked for length and spoilers. Presenting... IGPX Legend (IGPX Immortal Grand Prix 伝説) Spoiler It all starts in the year 2019. French weapons engineer Francisco Amenuit has developed a new type of wartime vehicle designed for ground missions involving the delivery and disposal of explosive devices. Faster than any other ground vehicle in existence at the time, and with a fireproof exterior meant to protect the driver, these mecha-like machines are referred to as “Immortals”. However, the present geopolitical landscape makes the use of Immortals for their intended combat purpose rather pointless. This problem is amended when American entertainment mogul Frank Meteau suggests that the Immortals instead be used for sporting purposes. His proposal, a combination of race car driving and roller derby using the Immortals as the vehicles for both, proves popular with audiences, and upon the sport’s official debut, said popularity explodes to extraordinary heights. Before long, this new sport, known as the Immortal Grand Prix, or IGPX for short, becomes the #1 sport worldwide. Fast-forward to 2023. Georg Obolensky is a Russian teen living in suburban Moscow with a knack for being skilled in various sports, holding positions on his high school’s track team and his town’s local boxing club. One night, some friends of his invite him out for a night of illegal street racing on the northern outskirts of the city. Georg accepts his friends’ offer and partakes in a race, which both he enjoys and his friends compliment him for in how quickly he adapted to it. That’s when one of them suggests that he aim for a career in the IGPX, since he enjoys the three sports that make it up so much. At first, Georg is apprehensive about going, mostly because of his family’s objections and insistence that he aim for a more practical career, but after talking it out with his school guidance counselor, he decides to go for it. The day after graduation, he leaves home without warning and begins his path to the IGPX. First stop: the I.G Training Academy in Bonneville, Utah. Georg spends half a year there, learning how to operate one of the Immortals, now called I.G Machines, so he’s more qualified to join one of the eighteen existing IGPX teams in the league. However, most of his classmates are military personnel learning operation of I.G Machines for their jobs in explosive ordnance disposal, in the event that they are to be used in future wars. Because of this difference in intention, Georg is seen as an outcast by his peers. On the contrary, his main instructor at the IGTA, Manuel Roma, is impressed with Georg’s quick adaption to piloting the I.G Machines, especially after he breaks the vehicle’s speed record during one of the tests. After graduating from the IGTA six months later, Georg is approached by Roma, who offers him an opportunity to join an IGPX team just as he voiced on his first day at the Academy. So Roma takes Georg to Italy, where they meet with Max Covelli, the owner and manager of the Napoli Racing Group. His IGPX team, Team NRG, won the first IG-3 tournament, but since then has been unable to make it past the IG-2. Having heard good things about him from Roma, who serves as NRG’s coach during the on-season, Covelli has Georg partake in an exposition race in Rome, to demonstrate his I.G Machine piloting skills in person. Georg does, and even though he fails to score first, Covelli is impressed enough to bring Georg onto Team NRG as an alternate. With his goal immediately realized, Georg then accompanies Covelli and Roma to IGPX City, a manmade oasis in the middle of the Australian Outback that serves as the main stage for all three IGPX League races. Georg is welcomed into the Team NRG family with open arms and gets along with many of the staff and crew, particularly the team’s laidback and friendly defender Tetsu Toyohara. However, the one person Georg can’t seem to connect with to any positive degree is Bruno Moscaritolo, the serious and brooding forward of the team. Bruno is hell-bent on getting NRG past the IG-2, but can’t seem to do it thanks to the efforts of Team Babyface, a team that goes back and forth between advancing to the IG-1 and being demoted back to the IG-2. Their most recent loss to Babyface a few weeks later angers Moscaritolo so badly, his outburst causes NRG’s current midfielder to quit. As a result, Georg is promoted to midfielder, demonstrating his skills to his teammates in NRG’s next race against fellow IG-2 Team Edoboys, who they win against. This, however, worsens relations between Georg and Bruno, the latter of whom thinks Georg is too reckless to make it in the league. As the races continue and NRG’s victories pile up, Georg and Bruno’s rivalry continues to worsen, to the point where Georg starts questioning whether getting into the IGPX was the right choice. He gets a wake-up call to this when, on his day off, he realizes how popular he’s become with the IGPX fan community. Being suddenly ambushed by a crowd of fans makes him aware of that much, but after he’s given shelter from the hordes by the official IGPX Fan Club president, 18 year-old Kenzie Prosser, he learns the finer details of his popularity. Specifically, he’s in contention for Rookie of the Year among both amateur and professional rankings, and he’s even gained a nickname: the Rocket, after the rocket-like speed he’s displayed in his many races. This gives Georg the confidence boost he needs to continue racing. After beating Team Babyface in the IG-2 finals – where Georg is put in the forward position –Team NRG finally sees promotion to the IG-1, which allows Georg and Bruno to finally make peace with one another. After taking the time to both relax post-victory and train themselves before the 2025 season, NRG enters the IG-1, putting them up against the five other teams partaking in the present season. Among them are Team Delta Kings, an Australia-based team whose style is inspired heavily by soccer; Team Joker Face, an America-based team of visual kei wannabes, one of whom is the father of future Team Sledgemamma forward Yamma; Team Two Station, a China-based team infamous for their lack of chemistry, whose successes are all the result of their defender; and Team Green Sisters, a team of Japanese-American triplet idol singers, who race in the IGPX for fun and are also lesbians. The team to beat, though, is Team Nightbreak, a France-based team managed by Amenuit himself who race with the newest I.G Machines available thanks to his connections, and is also home to the league’s current MVP: Yuri Ahoma Chávez, nicknamed “Speed Queen” for her self-proclaimed unmatched speed. Alongside racing together in the IG-1 to moderate success, Georg, Bruno and Tetsu start hanging out with one another in their spare time, with Kenzie and her best friend Jane Lubach, an IGPX fandom newbie with a crush on Georg, joining their social circle. But it isn’t long before another addition is made… Following their opening success in the IG-1, Team NRG is approached by Hamgra Schroeter, the heir to the Germany-based Schroeter Corporation, with an offer of sponsorship. The deal is made quickly, but Hamgra is invited to sit in on a race, between NRG and Two Station. Enthralled by the speed and force of the sport, Hamgra decides to stay in IGPX City and join NRG as an alternate. Like that, he joins Georg’s circle of friends without much effort. The 2025 season races continue on. Hamgra makes his official debut in the IG-1 as defender during a race against the Green Sisters, though the attention Georg receives over him annoys him some. Georg, however, finds himself with his own obstacle. He loses in a one-on-one spar with Yuri Ahoma Chávez the evening after the annual IGPX All-Star Event, and subsequently loses to her on the track days later, giving Team NRG their first loss since last year’s IG-2. This gives Georg another crisis of conscience on whether to keep racing or not. Like before, this is amended by Kenzie, though Jane plays a more important part than a mere spectator this time. With his groove back again, Georg enters the IG-1 semifinal race against Team Delta Kings with a clear mind and solid determination, allowing them victory and advancement to the finals. Enter Meteau again. Though in the background more often than not, it’s clear that he’s still the man behind the IGPX phenomenon, to the point where he started an online betting ring that has served as his primary means of income since the inclusion of company sponsorship started cutting race profits on his end. Unlike the fandom, however, he lacks faith in Georg – now nicknamed both the Rocket and Rocket G by his fans – being able to topple Yuri Ahoma as the league MVP, especially after NRG’s recent loss to Nightbreak. Viewing NRG’s semifinals victory as a threat to his betting profits after the odds of their victory against Nightbreak in the finals increase, Meteau decides to weaken the team’s morale through more subversive means. So he sends out a hitman to badly injure Bruno, putting him in the hospital and forcing Georg into the forward position once again. Unluckily for Meteau, Bruno’s injury only strengthens NRG’s resolve to win the IG-1. The resulting battle between both teams is intense, especially that between Georg and Yuri Ahoma. Remember the metaphorical one-on-one fights where pilots were portrayed in certain getups? Takeshi in samurai garb, Cunningham as a fencer, etc.? Well here, Georg’s a boxer (perhaps a Megaloboxer, if that works better) and Yuri Ahoma is a kunoichi, over-the-nose mask and all. Anyways, one intense race later, the finals end in a close call, with NRG barely winning against Nightbreak. As a result, Team NRG wins their first IG-1, and Georg manages to dethrone Yuri Ahoma as league MVP. And as if losing massive amounts of money from the bets made for NRG in the finals weren’t enough, Meteau is expelled from the league association by the board of directors for trying to fix the outcome of the IG-1 finals, and is subsequently arrested for his involvement in Bruno’s injury. As he’s carried off by the police, he rants in front of the news cameras about how the IGPX has grown internally weak since its inception and how it needs cutthroat competition to survive for as long as he envisioned upon creating it years ago. These words of his manage to speak to Hamgra, who himself feels that the IGPX – the IG-1, especially – could afford to be more ruthless in the races themselves… The 2026 IG-1 season begins. Things have been going good for Team NRG, as they have been the focus of multiple TV and online interviews, and have been receiving sponsorships out the wazoo for future races. Georg’s been having it good too, especially as he’s become closer to Jane in the off-season, to the point of them going on a date in the form of a day trip to Sydney. However, contention starts to brew in the IG-1, and not just from all the other teams looking to beat them in the next finals, but between Georg and Hamgra specifically. After Hamgra disregards a call for a team maneuver in the second round of their opening day race with Team Joker Face, to the point of badly damaging one of the opponent I.G Machines and taking them out of the race, the ensuing argument between him and Georg causes a rift between the two. The rift only deepens during their next race, against Nightbreak, where Hamgra reveals that he made a bunch of secret upgrades to his I.G Machine, using the majority of them in a barrage of playbook maneuvers against Yuri Ahoma in the second half of the second round. (This whole sequence is scored to Aphex Twin’s “Come to Daddy”, for those of you that are curious.) He then finishes off his display by pulling out his trump card: a miniature tornado meant to destabilize enemy I.G machines and render them unable to continue racing without extensive repairs from the running skeleton. Yep. Hamgra invented the Indoraga Mano. And being the daughter of the head of the IGPX Assertations Board, Kenzie is pissed that he dared to use such an obvious cheat. Anyways, after his stunt against Team Nightbreak, Hamgra is angrily confronted by Georg in spite of them winning, though their argument is broken up before it can devolve to out-and-out fighting. Even so, Georg and Hamgra leave the race as rivals with a great amount of contention for one another, to the point where they hire agents to use as liaisons to communicate with/trash-talk one another. (A shout-out to a scrapped episode idea from the original series.) Their relationship appears to improve after they wind up cooperating with one another in a race against Team Green Sisters, but it starts to get contentious again when Jane and Kenzie invite them, Tetsu and Bruno on a four-day vacation to Gold Coast, Queensland during an extended period of maintenance on the Big I. It’s there that it’s revealed that Hamgra has affections for Jane and that he starts to get jealous upon seeing her and Georg together more often than not. The breaking point, however, comes when he learns that the two had sex on the second night of their stay, prompting a confrontation between the two. The two eventually reach an agreement after much argument: during their race against Delta Kings that following week, whoever between the two of them crosses the finish line first gets to have Jane as their girlfriend. The race goes as scheduled, but as it goes on, it starts to seem more like a race between Georg and Hamgra than one between NRG and Delta Kings. Georg passes the finish line first, prompting Hamgra to start a fistfight with him on the track, which is stopped by security once all the other racers pass the finish line. Not only does Georg get Jane, who she was planning on staying with regardless of who won, but Hamgra gets suspended from the IGPX league for one year as a result of his starting the fight. In response to his suspension, he quits Team NRG and returns to Germany, where he takes care of his father in his final days and then takes over the Schroeter Corporation. Three years later, in 2029, Hamgra meets with the CEO of Velshtein Industries, a German megacorporation looking to purchase the recently downsized Schroeter Corporation. Upon learning that Velshtein has its own IGPX team, currently in its second year in the IG-2, Hamgra agrees to sell his company, on the condition that he join Team Velshtein and help bring them into the IG-1. Jump to 2032. Team NRG has remained in the IG-1 for seven years straight, with five total victories under their belt, four of them won consecutively, and all with Georg as forward during the finals. As for Georg himself, he and Jane got married and recently gave birth to a daughter, Sage. Things couldn’t be going better for him. That’s when he learns that Hamgra has re-entered the IGPX as the forward for Team Velshtein, who just won the previous IG-2. At first glance, it appears that the two have put their differences behind them and are treating each other much more civilly than the last time they met. However, during NRG’s first race against Velshtein later that season, things get real ugly real fast. Hamgra, who’s held the nickname “The Kaiser” since his stunt against Nightbreak in 2028, forces Georg to crash, but Georg returns the favor by crashing Hamgra’s own I.G Machine before leading NRG to yet another victory. And that’s when things get really ugly. Georg and Hamgra get into a fight following the race, which garners greater attention than the fight that got Hamgra suspended years ago. Because of changes made at the Assertations Board in the past six years, Hamgra gets off with a warning, while Georg is suspended from the league for a year. This information is never made public, though, as the day after his sentencing, Georg suddenly disappears without warning. In his biggest emotional downturn yet, he decides that if being part of the IGPX league alongside Hamgra means getting into fights off-track and dealing with the politics of such actions, he’d rather not be a part of it. With not so much as a goodbye to his wife and daughter, Georg returns to Russia and goes into hiding, discarding his existing name and taking on a new one: Andrei Rublev. Timeskip to 2048. The IGPX is even bigger now than it was in its early days, with multiple circuits worldwide, each with their own city dedicated to the sport. Hamgra is now the manager and coach for Team Velshtein, which has held the most victories of any IG-1 team since Nightbreak. Team NRG, meanwhile, disbanded after several years of crushing defeat following Georg’s departure. Jane has raised Sage all by herself for the past sixteen years, spending over half of that time in a semi-depressed daze, wondering if Georg will ever return, assuming he's still alive. Speaking of which, Georg, now Andrei, has changed drastically. He’s 100 pounds heavier, grew a beard, and is living in a low-rent apartment living off of welfare checks and cheap booze. At this point, he holds the impression his life couldn’t possibly get any better from here, even at rock bottom. Cue the arrival of two blacksuits who not only know that Andrei is the man formerly known as Georg “The Rocket G” Obolensky, but managed to track him down in spite of all odds against them. According to them, they were hired by Michiru Satomi, the granddaughter of former Satomi Heavy Industries CEO Hideki Satomi and manager of Team Satomi, the company’s IGPX team and last remaining asset following the 2040s recession, who wants to meet with Andrei personally. Andrei reluctantly agrees to their request by proxy and, after cleaning himself up to the best of his ability, flies out to IGPX City to meet with Miss Satomi. As it turns out, even her grandfather’s IGPX Team has seen better days since their debut in the IG-3 in the early 2030s, having been whittled down to a barebones mechanical crew, four racers, and one overly eager personal assistant. Even so, she wants to take Team Satomi to victory in the IG-1 in spite of the overwhelming disadvantage against them, if only to ensure that her grandfather’s legacy lives on. But in order to do that, she needs a coach for her disorganized team, and thought that hiring the Rocket G, the greatest IGPX racer in history, would be the best bet. Seeing this as his chance to redeem himself, Andrei accept Satomi’s offer, but on the pretense that his identity as the Rocket be downplayed as much as possible to avoid media attention. (And that confidentiality agreement he claimed kept him from saying anything about himself to the public? A big fat lie.) Once on Team Satomi as head coach, Andrei is faced with his most difficult challenge yet: trying to encourage cooperation and teamwork among the four team members. The forward, Takeshi Jin, is skilled and competent but prefers to do his own thing over working with others; the midfielder, Amy Stapleton, is extremely smart for her age but is unsociable, only ever interacting with her cybernetically enhanced pet cat Luca; the defender, Liz Ricarro, is determined and most approving of the teamwork angle but is also short-tempered and constantly at odds with Takeshi; and the alternate, River Marque, is just disinterested than anything besides wanting to play as forward. In his first few weeks instructing them, Andrei can’t seem to get through to them, making him question once again if the IGPX was even right for him. But after having a surprisingly personable chat with Takeshi, where he learns that his love of the IGPX and idolization of the Rocket long after his heyday was what inspired him to join the pro leagues, Andrei’s tone changes and his shift in style gets through to the team, not necessarily improving their teamwork skills but allowing decent cooperation between them. Andrei’s coaching manages to get Team Satomi to win several IG-2 races, eventually leading them to the 2048 finals against Team Rolling Stone. Andrei is confident that they’ll win in spite of the skills of the opposing team’s forward. However, the night before the IG-2 finals, he’s paid a surprise visit by none other than Hamgra. After the two catch up with one another, the topic switches to Velshtein’s recent victory against Team Sledgemamma in the IG-1 finals one week ago. Hamgra then lets Andrei know that if Satomi makes it to the IG-1 against all odds, he will see to it that Velshtein crushes them, if only to prove that his personal philosophy of “racing for victory” is superior to Andrei’s “racing to exceed expectations” belief. As a result, Andrei informs Team Satomi to win no matter what the morning of the IG-2 finals; the first of several advices along those lines. And that’s where the original IGPX series begins. The penultimate episode goes through the first 22 episodes, recapping the Satomi v. Velshtein races above all else. Satomi’s crushing loss to Velshtein in their first race, their victory over the Indoraga Mano in the 2049 IG-1 finals, Andrei telling Takeshi that he’s the Rocket, him coming clean to the world and racing alongside Takeshi and Liz for two matches, one of which was against Velshtein, complete with Cunningham shit-talking Takeshi after the race (god I hate that scene), all the way to Andrei’s meeting with Cunningham the night after the 2050 All-Star Event. There’s also an original scene in the middle taking place after Satomi’s first race with White Snow, where Andrei calls the Assertations Board – now headed up by Kenzie – to file a complaint about the unfairness of White Snow’s Puppetmaster attack. This report ultimately leads Kenzie to make major changes in league regulations, the first of which is finally banning the Indoraga Mano, the warrant for which she delivers to Hamgra herself with maximum smugness. Which leads us to the finale: a retelling of the 2050 semifinals between Satomi and Velshtein, done accurately but with new animation and much more gravitas and emotional resonance than in the original series. (Added bonus, a reprisal of the original opening theme “Go For It!”.) As before, it ends with Satomi winning the match, Teams Satomi and Velshtein making peace, Andrei and Hamgra making peace themselves, Andrei being contacted by Jane for the first time in nearly eighteen years, him catching up with her on all that’s happened, him meeting up with her and an all grown up Sage the next day, and him introducing them to Takeshi because that scene still happens. The series then ends with Andrei moving back in with his family, and then him and Jane meeting up with Hamgra, Kenzie, Tetsu and Bruno that night for a reunion outing.
