In Episode 21, Moroboshi Sena, a talented driver and student of Takahashi Keisuke, announces his entry into the MFG races starting from the third event. During his visit to Kanata, he reveals that his mentor and Kanata's teacher, Fujiwara Takumi, were once teammates. This news surprises Kanata and hints at a budding rivalry.

Ogata observes Sena's arrival and discusses the upcoming challenges with Okuyama. He advises Kanata to switch to a more powerful Toyota Supra, but Kanata remains firm in his decision to improve his Toyota 86. Inspired by his mentor's success with the AE86, Kanata feels a strong connection to his car. Okuyama respects this determination and agrees to optimize the 86's performance with a turbo project.

Meanwhile, Kanata and Ren continue their weekly visits to Kamakura to find the location from a precious photo of Kanata's parents. This shared time strengthens their bond, and Ren cherishes these special moments deeply. Ren's parents, Mayuko and her husband, also support the search for Kanata's father. They uncover clues suggesting he once lived in Gunma but decide not to inform Kanata until they have more concrete information.

Later, Kanata invites Ren and her family to dinner, further solidifying his place within the Saionji family. Mayuko jokes that Kanata is like a son to her, and the family encourages him to consider them as his family in Japan. This warm interaction highlights the growing familial connection between Kanata and the Saionjis.

Back in the racing world, Ogata and Okuyama strategize for the upcoming race on the Manazuru track. Their goal is for Kanata to secure fifth place.
