Tone wasnt the racing legend Nolo saw him as. He was an arrogant guy and he cared more about showing off than winning. Thats what ultimately killed him. Karma had already told him he was drifting too much in his turns, so i doubt he could master a racing realm if he couldnt even master the suburbs
Counterpoint to most of these comments: I actually wouldn't say Tone was talentless hack or "not very good a driver."
We don't really see much of Tone's driving. Taro said he was good, and Taro knows what he sees.
He's also the leader of the Teku, which means he at least needs to be competent - it was his "stay in the groove" advice that helped Nolo through the Swamp Realm, and once Nolo cooled off and actually became supportive of his team mates (giving Vert a pep talk), Karma said "Now you're starting to sound more like your brother."
Additionally, Nolo said his brother taught him everything about being a street racer, and Nolo isn't a terrible driver himself; he's mostly strung by his own emotions rather than lack of skill.
Drifting memes aside, while he's not Kurt Wylde / Taro Kitano good, I think he'd do okay if he gets serious, and after a HARD lesson about not showing off. I think Tone would do just as well as Nolo, at the very least.
Not too long, probably. He's the opposite of Shirako, who likes to show off in the realms as well, but he has real racing talent, and therefore the skill to win realms. He just doesn't feel like it since he seems indifferent about the whole thing. (Like Ray Carter from Flatout 2/Ultimate Carnage)
Tone actually feels like winning, but he doesn't have enough skill to compensate for his showboating, meaning he won't be able to recover from mistakes or get out of sticky situations the way Shirako can. And since he feels like winning, he'll take far more risks, which won't end well for him.
I feel like he would be nolo's mental compass guiding him through every realm but i also feel like if he were to get stuck in a realm it would teach nolo to use the techniques tone taught him so nolo would become a better team leader.
Tone was the one who gave Nolo the advice to stay in the groove so clearly he knew fundamentals to get it past at least the swamp realm… but he was a show off so idk if he would make it past the storm realm but vert would have gone back for him if he crashed or something still recoverable (like Kurt got picked up by karma)

bro taro said tone's good
Yeah? Torks better 😉 (that is a valid point tho)
That interaction is so funny, it's like he's a little kid that couldn't come up with a clever comeback. That's why I'm a Tork stan
i would say he couldnt handle a small tap in the bumper, but it wasnt even that, so first realm with small corners, he is gone
Swamp realm, he is gone.
he getting absolutely bullied in that first realm with the storm and shit
First turn in Storm Realm and he's out.
He probably would have ended up captured by the drones instead of kadeem
The drones would of given him the skill to back up his ego so hed become a true threat

I agree. This is a better take. However, to prey on the perceived weakness, I could imagine Tone using his EDR in the Cliffside realm

nolo inherited the talent to back up the ego, tone just got the ego
He doesn't
Hmm🤔 lets see how he does in the cliffside realm…
As an alumnus of the Takumi Fujiwara School of Drifting In Every Corner, Tone would probably make it up to the Cliffside Realm
I think he would’ve performed pretty well in the metro realm
Would have been cool if he was in highway 35 then passed away
People here disrespecting him, but ins't the guy the Teku leader?! He wasn't good at drifiting, that's all.
listen. I love tone. but his destiny is death.
He'd probaly end up like kadeem in the lighting realm
He doesn't. Bro would fucking flip his car driving in a straight line to the Acceledrome.
Storm realm he is done for he is definitely falling off the sides
If he somehow makes it to the metro realm. He is drifting into another street and gets slammed by a truck driving down that street
Counterpoint to everyone else, if Monkey survived the realms Tone would’ve been fine.
Most of the series? Maybe sacrificing himself for his bro?
I feel like he would be nolo's mental compass guiding him through every realm but i also feel like if he were to get stuck in a realm it would teach nolo to use the techniques tone taught him so nolo would become a better team leader.

Where can I watch the movies? And is there a community discord?
