He’s struggling on and off the court. And, his aggressive dad is not helping! Instead, he encourages Cam to make people do what he wants and show people who he is - a Banter.

Inori partakes in her first skating competition, and her warmup is disastrous. Her mom comes back to the locker room to ask Coach Tsukasa if they can take the jumps out of her routine since she can’t complete them, and she doesn’t want Inori to fall out of love with skating. This furthers Inori’s resolve to do well during the competition. Inori and others watch Hikaru compete, one of the best child skaters, and Tsukasa realizes something strange is going on with her coaching staff. After the competition ends, Inori and Tsukasa travel to Kyoto to take the Level 1 exam, and Tsukasa gets some advice from another coach that boosts his confidence.
The leader of the Night Kids shows up on Mount Akina and challenges Takumi to a race. After that, a driver named Shingo from the Night Kids shows up and bumps Iketani-sensei in his Silvia that just came back from the shop. Itsuki buys a Levin, thinking it was an Eight Six, but it turns out to be an Eight Five. After initially being ridiculed by the Speed Stars, Takumi convinces his friend that owning a car is amazing, and still manages to get down the mountain in record time. Shingo challenges Takumi to a race, which Takumi accepts in order to preserve Iketani's honor, but Shingo adds a stipulation: the drivers must duck tape their right hand to the steering wheel to keep things more interesting.
