Katsuhiro Otomo memberi kita salah satu visual paling ikonik dalam sejarah anime—Shotaro Kaneda berjalan menuju jentera merahnya. No Equal menterjemahkannya ke dalam jiwa tempatan menerusi poster Merdeka 64 dengan susuk tubuh Proton Saga retro.
Ini interpretasi versi Magma 12 Valve: meletakkan jentera touring car Proton Saga widebody ini terus ke atas grid litar sebenar dengan sentuhan sinematik, grimy, dan ‘Akan Di Pawagam’ mood. Penghormatan kepada siluet klasik Saga, budaya anime era 80-an, dan legasi automotif tempatan yang tidak pernah lapuk ditelan zaman.
Kaneda’s Walk, National Pride: An Homage to Akira, No Equal, and the Proton Saga
Few silhouettes in pop culture hit harder than Kaneda walking toward his machine in Akira. Inspired heavily by Otomo’s timeless key art and the iconic Merdeka 64 tribute by No Equal, this render is the Magma 12 Valve take—reimagining the first-generation Proton Saga as a full-blown, widebody tarmac weapon.
Rendered with race-day grime, rear radiator vents, and cinematic weight, it’s an intersection of late-80s cyberpunk energy and national touring car heritage. Pure passion, zero compromises.
