Driver Taisei Onari

Taisei rides Shinkalion E5 Hayabusa and goes into his first battle.

Insufficient Aptitude Value

Taisei, who has officially become a member of the Railway Club, is given a tour around ERDA by Takanawa, and learns the reason why Shinkalion was developed, as well as the fact that his missing sister, Ina, was once involved in the development of Shinkalion. Meanwhile, the Unknown shows up in Ryota's hometown, Tsuruga this time. Ryota wants to protect his hometown with his own hands, but he doesn't have enough Aptitude Value.

Ryota's True Feelings

In preparation for more Unknowns to appear, Taisei stays in Tsuruga and enjoys the railway museum he once visited with his sister. Meanwhile, Ryota is training alone to raise his Aptitude Value. Ryota has a strong admiration for the Shinkalions because a Shinkalion saved his life when he was young. Although he feels regretful that he was unable to protect Tsuruga with his own hands, he still hides his true feelings.

In preparation for further Unknown attacks, ERDA continues to search for driver candidates for the Shinkalion E6 Komachi.

Taisei and his friends travel to Nagoya for a joint training with the Tokai Headquarters. They will be training together in a simulation with Ten, who is known as a "genius driver" who has by far the highest Aptitude Value, but Ten doesn't seem to be serious.

24 min

The Form of Friends

Ten disappeared when his Aptitude Value dropped significantly. Because of this, Ryota and Akane get into an argument. What flashes through Ten's mind is an incident that occurred with his friends a year ago. Apparently that has something to do with the reason why Ten stopped being serious…. Seeing Taisei and his friends fighting together and trusting each other even though they were arguing with each other, Ten takes a certain action.

His True Identity

Although ERDA's server is accessed by Ina's account, tracking fails.

Cool Person

Ina declares war on ERDA, demanding unconditional surrender. ERDA considers Ina to be an enemy for leading the Unknown, and their hostility becomes unwavering.

Omen

After Ina regains consciousness, ERDA interrogates her. Takanawa speculates that whoever retrieved the "Phantom Shinkalion" was the one who brainwashed Ina.

Just then, Takanawa receives the notification that a candidate for the driver of the "Shinkalion E8 Tsubasa" has been found.

Flapping Wings

After finding out that Ganma is the driver candidate for “Shinkalion E8 Tsubasa”, Takanawa tries to recruit him, but is flatly refused. Meanwhile, the Railway Club's survival is in jeopardy. Taisei and his friends try to persuade Ganma, who is the student council president, to keep it alive, but Ganma says, “If you want to protect it, you should have the power to match that.” These words seem to have something to do with his past.

The Incomplete Trio

Ganma, who has become a driver, joins the Railway Club. Hearing that the Railway Club members will be eating lunch together, Ganma comes to the club room, but Akane is not there. Meanwhile, at ERDA, Ina develops the "SRG System" to combine the three units, "E5 Hayabusa", "E6 Komachi", and "E7 Kagayaki". The condition for success is that the "SRG Values" of the three people match. So the three immediately start a simulation, but...

We are Scared

While Akane, whose SRG Value ​​does not match, is filled with guilt, Taisei and Ryota are also worried about Akane, who has been going to the Track-and-field Club more often. Furthermore, when they hear Akane say that he is leaning more towards track and field, the relationship between the three becomes strained. Meanwhile, a mysterious enemy suddenly appears - "Hades Shinkalion". Taisei and his friends are forced to struggle against its overwhelming strength, and try out the Three Car Combination as their last hope...

Reason to Fight

Akane still can't match Taisei and Ryota's SRG Value. While he ponders the reason, Kakeru asks him to officially join the Track-and-field Club.
