Story
White Phantom of Akina Ark
Shingo Shoji, wanting to prove himself to fellow Night Children member Takeshi Nakazato, who was recently defeated by Takumi Fujiwara, first crashes into Koichiro Iketani's Nissan Silvia K, causing him to go off the track to challenge Takumi to a race. Later (in an anime-exclusive battle), Shingo crashes into Itsuki Takeuchi's Toyota AE85, who was driving Saori home, sending Itsuki to the hospital.
Takumi Fujiwara decided to take on Shingo in order to avenge Itsuki's injury. Before the race, Iketani demanded that Shingo apologize for the incident, to which Shingo agreed on the condition that he lose to Takumi. During the race, Shingo initially had the advantage over Takumi, but the latter took over when he decided to steer less and drift without going off-track. Annoyed by Takumi's skill, Shingo cut him off, reclaiming the lead. However, Takumi regained full control of the car despite his panic and raced forward in a reckless rage, realizing that Shingo had done this on purpose. Shingo, realizing that Takumi was catching up to him, assumed that Takumi was trying to crash into him in retaliation. Takumi was then able to retake the lead, but as the race drew to a close, Shingo decided to end the race in a tie by crashing into an AE86. However, Takumi dodges Shingo's attack, causing him to crash into the fence.
After the crash, Shingo climbs out of the crippled Civic and inspects the damage sustained in the crash. After witnessing two cars (four cars in the Legends trilogy) approaching him, Shingo admits defeat as Iketani and Kenji helped him. They then offer to take Shingo to the hospital. He initially refused, but they insisted on taking him anyway after he learned his lesson.
Shingo and Nakazato were also present when Takumi Fujiwara fought Ryosuke Takahashi. They commented on the skill of both drivers and knew that Takumi could win the race.
