1The Invincible Baby Face
The episode introduces Itsuki 'Ikki' Minami, a delinquent who suffers a humiliating defeat at the hands of Magaki, the leader of the Storm Rider gang Skull Saders, who use motorized inline skates called Air Trecks (AT). Following the loss, Ikki returns to the Noyamano household, where he lives with four sisters who treat him with casual disdain. After a day of domestic mishaps, Ikki's curiosity leads him to a forbidden room, where he discovers the sisters' secret collection of Air Trecks, including a pair belonging to Sleeping Forest, a team the sisters are affiliated with. He takes a pair to experiment and, after a chaotic and dangerous first ride through the city, crashes at an outdoor market stall run by a woman connected to the AT world. She directs him to a gathering of Storm Riders, where he is captivated by Simca, a mysterious and alluring girl who invites participants to place their team emblems on her clothing. Enthralled, Ikki accepts her challenge and successfully places his borrowed Sleeping Forest emblem on her, inadvertently issuing a formal challenge by covering the emblem of the Skull Saders. The Skull Saders, led by Magaki, appear to accept the challenge, which is witnessed by other prominent riders like Spitfire. The gathering is suddenly raided by Kaito, a Department Manager from a special task force targeting AT users, causing the crowd to scatter. Before Ikki can escape, Magaki confronts him and sets the terms for their impromptu Parts War: a race to cut the power to a neon sign, with the loser surrendering their emblem. Ikki accepts the challenge, motivated by Simca's promise of a 'special prize' if he wins, and the race begins as the police close in on the area, leaving the outcome unresolved.
2Screams of the Rez-Boa Dogs
Following his first experience on Air Treks (AT), Itsuki 'Ikki' Minami becomes determined to master the machine and pursue the sensation he believes to be 'The Wing's Road'. He expresses a desire to form his own AT team, a goal that sets him on a collision course with the existing rider hierarchy. That night, Ikki witnesses the enigmatic Simca being cornered by a group of riders and intervenes, demonstrating his impulsive nature despite his lack of skill. The next evening, he observes Simca practicing alone, and this time she becomes aware of his presence. Rather than rebuffing him, Simca gives Ikki a special emblem, the significance of which is unknown to him. This act places Ikki directly in the path of the Storm Rider team Rez-Boa Dogs, who are actively pursuing the very item Simca entrusted to him. The motivations of the two key female figures in Ikki's life come into clear conflict. Simca is driven by a desire to push Ikki into the dangerous world of Parts Wars, seeing potential in him. In contrast, Ringo Noyamano, one of the sisters Ikki lives with, is primarily concerned for his safety and wishes to protect him from the inherent risks of AT battling. This fundamental disagreement sets up a central tension for Ikki, who is caught between Simca's allure and Ringo's protective instincts. The episode establishes the Rez-Boa Dogs as a direct and immediate threat, forcing Ikki to confront the reality that possessing the emblem has real-world consequences. His decision to involve himself with Simca and accept her gift directly leads to his first major conflict with an established and hostile team, escalating his involvement in the AT world far beyond casual riding.
3Enter the Night Kings
Following his confrontation with Rez-Boa Dogs, Ikki falls from a water tower but is rescued by a rider with a distinctive pompadour hairstyle. This rider returns Ikki's emblem to him before Simca briefly takes it and then returns it. The identity of the pompadour-wearing rider is revealed as Buccha, a member of the Night Kings. Ikki faces the immediate practical consequence of his recent activities: he must pay for the two pairs of Air Trecks and the neon sign he damaged. This financial penalty grounds the protagonist's ambitions in a tangible reality. Ikki gains a deeper understanding that Air Treck riding involves more than just movement, hinting at the complex world he is entering. Meanwhile, his friends Kazu and Onigiri conduct online research and discover information about Parts Wars, the structured battles of the Air Treck world. Their investigation reveals that participating in this world is more challenging than it initially appears. The episode introduces the concept of the Kings, the elite riders who rule the Air Treck battlefield. This establishes a new hierarchy and long-term objectives for the protagonist. The Noyamano sisters continue to observe Ikki's burgeoning involvement from the sidelines. The episode concludes with the core characters aware of the larger conflicts that await them, setting the stage for future confrontations.
4A Battle for Kazu, Onigiri, and My Pride
Following the severe beating of his friends Kazu and Onigiri at the hands of the Night Kings, Ikki takes direct action to confront the team's leadership. He enters an E-Class Parts War known as a Hurdle battle against the Night Kings' massive leader, Bucca. The challenge is motivated by a desire to defend his comrades and uphold his own pride after they were injured while trying to gather information on his behalf. Prior to the confrontation, Ikki had been learning about the broader structure of the Air Gear world, including the system of Parts Wars and the existence of different classes of teams. His decision to engage Bucca thrusts him directly into this formalized conflict, moving beyond the unstructured street encounters he previously experienced. The impending battle generates significant attention within the local Air Gear scene even before it officially begins. The conflict is not merely a physical confrontation but also a test of Ikki's burgeoning resolve and his willingness to stake his reputation for the sake of his friends. The immediate consequence of the episode is the establishment of a formal, high-stakes rivalry between Ikki's informal group and the established power of the Night Kings.
5My Body, My Heart Is Being Set Aflame
The episode focuses on the conclusion of the intense race between Itsuki 'Ikki' Minami and the bulky rider Bucca. As the match reaches its end, Ikki struggles to find a way to overcome Bucca's significant advantage in experience and raw power. Observing the battle from the sidelines are Ringo Noyamano and the powerful AT rider Spitfire, who provides commentary on the deeper implications of the conflict. Spitfire takes the opportunity to confront Ikki about the existence of the eight roads and the kings who rule them, introducing a larger hierarchy within the world of Air Treck. This exposition lays the groundwork for the political structure and future conflicts Ikki will inevitably face. Concurrently, Ringo is approached by the enigmatic Simca, who engages her in a separate, private conversation. Simca probes Ringo about Ikki's potential as an Air Treck rider, specifically questioning the nature of his burgeoning 'wings'. During this exchange, Ringo learns that Simca is orchestrating a larger, undisclosed plan that involves Ikki. This revelation shifts Ringo's understanding of Simca's motives, transforming her from a mere ally into a potential manipulator with her own agenda. The immediate consequence for Ringo is a newfound sense of protectiveness and wariness regarding the forces now circling around Ikki. For Ikki, the encounter with Spitfire and the culmination of his race against Bucca solidify his immersion into the formal, high-stakes world of Parts Wars and the legendary kings.
6Trick: 6
The Skull Saders, seeking retribution for a previous defeat, issue a formal challenge to the team known as Sleeping Forest. However, upon arrival for the battle, they discover that the group awaiting them is not the genuine Sleeping Forest. Their opponents consist of members from the East Side Gunz and the former leader of the Night Kings, a rival Storm Rider team. This substitution sets the stage for a Parts War where the combatants' skills and alliances are immediately tested. The primary conflict centers on Ikki's personal drive to reclaim his emblem, a physical symbol of his skill and standing within the Air Treck community. This pursuit forces him to directly confront formidable riders from his past and present, raising the stakes of the competition. Throughout the preparations and the battle itself, Ikki's friends provide crucial support, demonstrating that teamwork and camaraderie are essential components of success in this high-stakes environment. The rivalries depicted are intensified by the characters' shared histories, adding layers of tension to every aerial maneuver and tactical decision. As the match progresses, riders on both sides employ unexpected strategies, requiring quick thinking and adaptability beyond mere physical prowess. The episode's turning point arrives as the winner is determined through this clash of unexpected teams and personal vendettas, solidifying the immediate consequences for the challengers and the defenders alike. The narrative reinforces that for Ikki, the fight to reclaim his emblem is intertwined with the bonds he shares with his teammates, making their collective effort as significant as his individual ambition.
7What's Wrong with Rejection? Onigiri, We're Comrades!
Following his victory against the Night King, Ikki utilizes his prize money to purchase parts and upgrades for his Air Trecks. He requests Ringo's assistance in testing the newly modified ATs, leading to a practice session where she quietly assesses his unchanged, headstrong nature. Simca presents Ikki with an offer to join her team, but he firmly decides to pursue the path of forming his own group instead. As Ikki and Kazu attempt to focus on training and developing their future team, they discover that their friend Onigiri has a girlfriend. This personal development for Onigiri introduces a potential complication for the trio's efforts to officially establish their Storm Rider team. The episode shifts focus away from direct Parts War battles, instead concentrating on character interactions and the personal lives of the main cast. The narrative explores the immediate aftermath of Ikki's recent battle and the foundational steps required to build a team. Ikki's motivation to become a king and lead his own crew solidifies as a central driving force. The revelation about Onigiri's relationship introduces a new variable that tests the group's cohesion outside of AT competition. Ringo's perspective continues to serve as an observational anchor, measuring Ikki's development against his past self. The episode concludes with the core conflict shifting from external battles to the internal and interpersonal challenges of team formation.
8Defeat Orihara-sensei's Supllementary Exam: Let's Rediscover Ton-chan-sensei's Past
The episode places Itsuki 'Ikki' Minami and his friends in a situation where their Air Trecks (ATs) are withheld by their teacher, Orihara-sensei, who conditions their return on passing a supplementary exam. This exam is not a standard written test but a series of physical challenges that require the students to utilize their AT skills, directly testing the abilities they have developed through Parts Wars. A significant secondary plot involves the disappearance of the school's medical instructor, Ton-chan-sensei, prompting Ikki and his friends to investigate. Their search leads them to discover a mysterious box, which contains clues about Ton-chan's past, forcing them to navigate the city on their Air Trecks to uncover the truth. The group's determination to both pass the exam and find their teacher drives them to overcome the obstacles placed before them. During the exam's challenges, they receive unexpected aid from the leader of a rival team, an intervention that proves crucial to their progress. The episode's central conflict escalates as the final task of Orihara-sensei's exam is revealed: a race to the top of a tall building where she awaits. This culminating challenge demands that the characters apply all their accumulated riding experience and teamwork to succeed. Concurrently, the investigation into Ton-chan-sensei's past reaches a pivotal moment with a shocking revelation about his history, adding depth to his character. The episode concludes at this critical juncture, with the outcome of the exam and the full resolution of Ton-chan's mystery hanging in the balance, directly linking character development with the immediate, high-stakes challenge.
9Clash! Buffalo vs. Great White Shark
Following Buccha's addition to the team, Kogarasumaru still lacks the required fifth member for official Parts War participation. The group devises an unconventional method to recruit their final rider, highlighting their desperation to formalize their team. Ringo Noyamano provides a pivotal lead by informing Ikki and the others about an upcoming high-level A-Class battle between the Kintetsu Buffalo team and the squad led by the rider Agito. This match represents a significant step up in competition from their previous experiences, offering a chance to observe elite-level Air Treck combat. The group attends the event with the primary motivation of scouting Agito, whose reputation as a formidable and aggressive rider precedes him. They witness a one-sided confrontation where Agito engages the opposing team alone, demonstrating a level of skill and power far beyond what they have encountered. The outcome of the battle thoroughly surprises Ikki and his friends, forcing them to reassess their understanding of the sport's competitive hierarchy. Agito's dominant performance directly conflicts with their initial expectations, revealing the true caliber of rider he is. This spectacle serves as the episode's central turning point, shifting Kogarasumaru's goal from merely completing their roster to targeting a rider of exceptional ability. The immediate consequence is the solidification of Agito as their primary recruitment target, setting the stage for a direct confrontation in the subsequent episode. The battle also establishes the significant power gap that exists between emerging teams like Kogarasumaru and established A-Class competitors.
10Agito, I'll Drag You Up from the Bottom of the Well
Following the A-class battle between Kintetsu Bulls and Agito, the episode opens with the immediate aftermath of Agito's victory over Gonzou and his team. The situation escalates when a police raid, described as Wind G-men, arrives on the scene, forcing Ikki's group to navigate an escape from the authorities. Amidst the chaos, Agito becomes a central figure of conflict, not only externally but internally, as he grapples with his fractured identity. Ikki confronts Agito directly, challenging the fierce reputation that defines him. The core of the episode revolves around the revelation of Agito's dual personality, with the emergence of his softer alter-ego, Akito, serving as a critical turning point. This psychological struggle is triggered when Ikki physically drags Agito into the sky on his Air Trecks, an act that resonates with the proverb, "When a frog is born, it's not the sea it's looking forward to," to which Agito responds, "The sky...". This moment of shared flight facilitates Akito's return, shifting Agito's motivations from pure aggression to a more complex internal conflict between his two selves. The episode illustrates the theme of rising from personal struggle, with Agito's psyche likened to being trapped at the bottom of a well, from which Ikki attempts to pull him out. The immediate consequence of this confrontation is a change in the dynamic between the characters, setting the stage for Agito's potential integration into Ikki's group and the subsequent formation of a formal team.
11Team Kogarasumaru Take-off
With Akito formally agreeing to join, Ikki's group finally has the requisite five members to form an official Storm Rider team. The newly formed team engages in the process of establishing its identity, selecting a name, an emblem, and defining its overall goals. After completing the official registration for their team, they discover that another Storm Rider crew, the Sabel Tigers, has claimed their school as its territory. This claim directly challenges the nascent team's position and motivates Ikki to issue a formal challenge for control of the turf. The episode depicts the team's first official match in a local tournament against the experienced and undefeated team, White Wolf. During the competition, each member's unique riding abilities are showcased as they face the formidable tactics of their opponents. Ringo utilizes her exceptional jumping skills to evade and score, while Kazu and Onigiri coordinate their efforts to handle multiple adversaries. Akito, riding as Agito, demonstrates his characteristically aggressive and high-speed style, and Ikki assumes the role of strategist to guide his teammates. Despite their individual talents, the team struggles against White Wolf's superior teamwork and finds themselves repeatedly disadvantaged. The match reaches a climax with the teams tied, forcing Kogarasumaru to execute a coordinated final maneuver to secure a narrow and hard-earned victory. This win serves as an immediate consequence, establishing the team's presence in the competitive arena and solidifying their unity.
12She's Finally Here: the Savior Rider
The Parts War between the newly formed Kogarasumaru and the Sabel Tigers continues, with the conflict escalating as the opposing team secures a significant advantage. Following the initial challenges, Kogarasumaru finds itself at a disadvantage after Buccha and Onigiri are unable to secure victories in the F-Class battle, allowing the Sabel Tigers to acquire two wins. This puts the fledgling team in a precarious position, testing their resolve so soon after their official formation. In response to the mounting pressure and to provide crucial support from the sidelines, Ringo Noyamano takes decisive action by disguising herself to participate in the race. Her intervention introduces a new dynamic to the conflict, as she steps in to assist Ikki's team without initially revealing her identity. The arrival of this mysterious 'Savior Rider' or 'Croissant Mask' generates significant anticipation and shifts the momentum of the ongoing battle. The episode focuses on the immediate consequences of the team's early struggles and the introduction of this unforeseen variable into the competition. Character motivations are centered on the desire to protect the team's burgeoning status and to overcome the immediate threat posed by the Sabel Tigers' dominance. The narrative turning point hinges on the decision by a skilled outsider to intervene, altering the course of the Parts War and setting the stage for a potential comeback. This event underscores the high stakes involved in the team's first major challenge and the lengths to which their allies will go to ensure their survival in the world of Air Treck battles.
13What's the Reason for the Sky?
After defeating the previous Sleeping Forest members,Ikki and his team return to their daily routines but face the limitations of their current abilities. Rika Noyamano, the former leader of Sleeping Forest, gathers the team and presents a new objective: obtaining the Sky Regalia, a set of high-performance Air Trecks that grant unparalleled control over the wind. She explains that the Sky Regalia lies hidden within the abandoned Noyamano Industries factory, accessible only through a series of trials. Ikki volunteers to undertake the trials alone, driven by his desire to close the gap between himself and stronger rivals such as the previous Sleeping Forest members. The first trial involves navigating a vertical maze of pipes and ducts while maintaining high-speed flight, testing both physical endurance and precise control over the Air Trecks. Ikki repeatedly fails but persists, demonstrating his stubborn determination despite the evident difficulty. Meanwhile, other members of Kogarasumaru, including Onigiri and Kazuma, attempt to support him but are instructed by Rika to let him face the challenge independently. The episode contrasts Ikki’s solitary struggle with the growing pressure from external threats, as the existence of the Sky Regalia attracts attention from other teams. By the end of the episode, Ikki finally locates the first key component of the Regalia but collapses from exhaustion, leaving his progress uncertain. The closing scenes reveal that other factions have already begun moving toward the factory, setting up a race for the Regalia’s remaining pieces.
14Baby - Baby - Baby
Ikki and the other members of Kogarasumaru gather at a beach resort to celebrate their victory over the Skull Saders. The team receives a formal invitation from Sleeping Forest to attend a party,an event that signals recognition from the top-ranked team. Before they can depart, a group of riders calling themselves Behemoth arrives and issues a direct challenge. The Behemoth leader, Yoshitsune, declares his intent to crush Kogarasumaru and take their parts to advance his own team’s standing. Ikki accepts the challenge, driven by the need to defend his team’s reputation and newly earned standing. The confrontation escalates when Behemoth’s massive rider, Buccha, hurls a boulder into the sea, showcasing overwhelming physical strength. Ikki counters by using his Regalia’s wind abilities to kick up a dust storm, temporarily disorienting the attackers. A mysterious baby riding a custom Air Treck interrupts the fight, revealing that even Behemoth’s youngest members are skilled riders. The baby, identified as Agito, executes advanced maneuvers that catch Ikki off guard. Both sides withdraw as the situation stabilizes, but the encounter establishes Behemoth as a formidable adversary with unconventional fighters. Kogarasumaru ends the episode acknowledging that their next battle will demand new tactics to counter Behemoth’s diverse and brutal methods.
15Gathering of the Fearsome Meisters
Following their victory over Behemoth,Itsuki and the other members of Kogarasumaru receive invitations to a gathering hosted by the Sleeping Forest team. The event brings together several elite teams, including Trident and members of the previous generation’s top riders, in an open courtyard. Itsuki observes the casual yet intimidating displays of skill from riders such as Yoshitsune and the Trident leaders, each demonstrating control over air tricks far beyond his current level. Simca explains the existence of the Gram Scale tournament and clarifies that Kogarasumaru’s recent wins have placed them on the radar of far more dangerous opponents. Akito confronts Itsuki about his reckless approach to using the Regalia, warning that without proper mastery the equipment will consume him rather than empower him. The gathering turns tense when members of the rival team Genesis arrive, their presence causing an immediate shift in the atmosphere as several riders openly regard them with hostility. Itsuki challenges a Genesis member to a brief match, only to be effortlessly overpowered, leaving him thrown against a wall and visibly shaken. After the confrontation, Simca reiterates that Kogarasumaru lacks the unity and individual strength required to survive the coming battles. The episode closes with Itsuki alone, staring at his own reflection and muttering that he must push past his limits immediately to keep his team from being crushed.
16Episode 16
Ikki and the other members of Kogarasumaru gather at the docks to face the Fang King’s forces. The Fang King,Sora Takeuchi, reveals the existence of eight Kings who each possess a Regalia, a set of Air Trecks with unique abilities. He explains that the Sky Regalia, which Ikki’s sister Rika once held, is the most powerful and that Ikki is now its prospective user. Ikki rejects Sora’s offer to join Sleeping Forest and declares his intention to surpass all Kings. In response, Sora orders his subordinate, the Flame King, to attack. Kazu and Onigiri intervene, but they are quickly overwhelmed. Ikki activates the Sky Regalia’s parts for the first time, using its wind-based abilities to counter the Flame King’s attacks. The battle shifts when the Fang King demonstrates his own overwhelming power, crushing Ikki’s confidence with a single strike. Simca observes from a distance, revealing her past connection to Sleeping Forest and her true goal of guiding Ikki to become the Sky King. The episode ends with Ikki unconscious, and the members of Kogarasumaru realizing the vast gap in strength between them and the Kings.
17No Way! Benkei's Trap
Benkei seals the entrance to the Behemoth headquarters,trapping Ikki, Onigiri, Kazu, and Buccha inside a narrow corridor. Benkei activates a hydraulic press system that slowly compresses the walls, intending to crush them. Ikki attempts to break through the walls with his Air Treck but finds his Regalia unresponsive. Simca explains that Benkei’s trap neutralizes the Regalia by exploiting a weakness in the Storm Regalia’s tuning. Buccha uses his strength to temporarily hold the walls, giving the team time to devise a strategy. Kazu discovers a ventilation shaft leading to the control room, which requires someone with small stature to navigate. Onigiri volunteers, squeezes through the duct, and reaches the control panel. Ikki confronts the psychological block preventing him from fully controlling his Regalia, recalling Simca’s earlier lessons about trusting his instincts. Onigiri disables the press system moments before the walls would have crushed them. Freed, Ikki rushes toward Benkei’s location, determined to settle their rivalry. Benkei, observing from his command center, prepares a final defense, confident that his superior experience will overwhelm Ikki. The episode ends with Ikki breaking through the final barrier, setting up a direct confrontation between the two teams’ leaders.
18Raging Desire
Simca explains to Ikki that the Sky Regalia he won from Behemoth is one of eight Regalia sought by Koga,an organization that uses advanced technology to enhance its riders. Koga’s Fang King, Yoshitsune, confronts Ikki and demands the Regalia, demonstrating superior speed and power that leaves Ikki unable to land a single attack. While Ikki recovers from the humiliating encounter, members of Sleeping Forest approach his team individually. Onigiri receives an invitation to train under the master of wind techniques, Buccha is directed to a strength-based regimen, and Akito and Agito are offered methods to harmonize their dual personalities for combat. Ikki’s sister, Rika, who leads Sleeping Forest, proposes a training course that pushes his physical limits to dangerous extremes. Simca reveals that Koga already possesses multiple Regalia and intends to collect all eight to control the sky. Ikki accepts the training despite the risks, driven by his inability to protect his Regalia against Yoshitsune’s overwhelming force. Koga begins coordinating its forces to systematically eliminate all other teams with Regalia. The immediate consequence is the fragmentation of Kogarasumaru as each member pursues separate training, leaving the team’s unity uncertain. Ikki begins his grueling training under Rika’s supervision, while Koga’s next target is revealed to be another Regalia holder.
19The Fang's Regalia of destiny is howling!
20It's finally the end.
21The Sky King
Ikki and Agito continue their battle atop the tower. Agito,in his Fang King persona, relentlessly attacks using lethal fang techniques. Ikki struggles to keep up, his body reaching its physical limits. Ringo watches from below, recognizing that Ikki’s instincts are beginning to awaken. Simca observes that Ikki is finally stepping onto the Road of the Sky King. Ikki stops dodging and confronts Agito directly, absorbing his attacks. He unleashes a new maneuver, the Sky King’s flight, reversing the momentum. Agito’s attacks fail to land, and Ikki delivers a decisive blow that knocks Agito unconscious. The battle ends with Ikki standing over Agito, having claimed the title of Sky King. Agito’s alternate personality recedes, and the original Agito briefly resurfaces before collapsing. Members of Sleeping Forest witness the result, confirming that a new Sky King has emerged. Kogarasumaru secures victory, but powerful factions now turn their attention toward Ikki’s growing power.
22The Beast Awakens
Agito’s battle against Ikki reaches a critical stage as the Behemoth rider fully submits to his alternate personality,Lind. The transformation triggers a surge of violent aggression that overwhelms Ikki’s defensive techniques. Agito’s past with his sister, Rika, surfaces in flashbacks, showing the emotional trauma that led to the creation of Lind. Ikki struggles to maintain his balance against Lind’s relentless attacks, which exploit every gap in the Road of Wind. On the sidelines, the members of Kogarasumaru and Behemoth react to the sudden shift in momentum. Kazu and Onigiri attempt to call out to Ikki, but the noise of the crowd and the intensity of the fight drown their voices. Simca observes the battle with growing concern, noting that Ikki has yet to unleash the full potential of his Air Treks. Lind mocks Ikki’s hesitation, pushing him to the edge of the arena with a series of high-speed kicks. Ikki narrowly avoids falling out of bounds by using a sharp pivot, but his Regalia begins to show signs of strain. Ikki discards his safety limits and initiates a risky maneuver that could destroy his Air Treks. The final frame shows a close-up of Ikki’s determined expression as he charges directly into Lind’s attack, setting up a decisive clash in the next episode.
23How to Survive
Ikki Minami and Agito Wanijima face each other in the second round of the Battle of the Supreme Ruler. Agito’s alter ego Lind fully controls the body and attacks with the Fang Regalia’s blade winds,aiming to eliminate any trace of what he considers weakness. Ikki refuses to strike back with lethal force, instead focusing on bypassing Lind’s aggression to reach the dormant Agito personality. He activates the Wing Road, a new evolution of his Regalia, allowing him to outmaneuver the wind blades and close the distance. As Ikki repeatedly calls out Agito’s name, the original personality briefly resurfaces, creating an opening. Ikki uses that moment to shatter the Fang Regalia’s helmet, ending the match without killing his opponent. Agito collapses unconscious but shows signs that both personalities have settled into a more stable coexistence. Outside the arena, the tournament organizers announce that Kogarasumaru’s next opponents are not the Behemoth team but the elite group Genesis, led by Sora Takeuchi. Sora and his Gravity Children step onto the track, displaying a collective aura that immediately signals their overwhelming superiority. Ikki watches as his team braces for a fight far beyond anything they have faced, and Sora declares that those who cannot keep up will be crushed.
24Gathering of the Fates
Sora Takeuchi assembles the eight Genesis members in the abandoned church,presenting his plan to seize control of all Air Trek users through the Sky Regalia. Ikki and his team infiltrate the gathering, and Ikki directly challenges Sora by refusing to submit to Genesis. Sora reveals that Sleeping Forest was originally designed to select a single king who would dominate every team and rider. Ikki activates the Regalia inherited from Rika and engages Sora in a high-speed aerial battle, shredding portions of the church’s interior. Ringo intervenes, accusing Sora of betraying their family years ago to secure his own path to power. Sora dismisses her claims, asserting that the sacrifices he made are justified by the absolute authority he now wields. Kazu and Onigiri hold off Genesis members attempting to flank Ikki, keeping the fight one-on-one. Sora counters with his Wind Regalia, overpowering Ikki with precise, crushing strikes. A massive explosion from the clash levels the remaining structure, leaving Ikki unconscious in the debris. As the Genesis members withdraw, Sora declares the final confrontation for the Sky Regalia will take place at the Tower of Babel.
25The Boy Who Leapt Through Time
Ikki and Kogarasumaru storm the Sleeping Forest headquarters,seeking to confront Agito directly. Agito’s alternate personality, Lind, takes control and immediately engages Ikki in a high-speed Air Treck battle through the facility’s corridors. The clash reveals that Agito’s split consciousness stems from a childhood experiment to create a Regalia-wielding rider. Flashbacks transport viewers to a sterile research compound where young Agito and his brother undergo forced mental synchronization. Researchers merge the two brothers’ minds into a single body, erasing the individual identities to forge a weapon. Present-day Agito accepts his existence as a mere tool meant to serve the Sleeping Forest’s goals. Ikki refuses to accept that logic and declares he will seize the Sky Regalia to shatter Agito’s imposed purpose. Simca provides the team with the full rules of the upcoming Gram Scale Tournament, where the Sky Regalia will be awarded. Kogarasumaru unites behind Ikki’s goal, shifting their focus from street rivalry to a formal competition. The Sleeping Forest leadership, observing from the shadows, recognizes Kogarasumaru as a legitimate threat to their dominance. The episode ends with Ikki and his crew standing at the threshold of the tournament, where victory alone will decide control of the Regalia.
