Having triumphed over Buccha in Air Gear, Vol. 3, Izzi now has the parts he needs to repair and upgrade his Air Trecks. His antics outside the classroom have been noted by his guidance counselor, however, and Izzi and his best friends are in danger of repeating his school year, and he has to bring his grades up. Helped by a young teacher, Ikki hears about another Parts War, this time between A-rank teams.

When the Iron Bulls are confronted by Agito, they realize that this small boy is the best rider they have ever seen. Agito violently defeats them all, but Ikki manages to diffuse the situation. That’s when the Air Trek Strike Force shows up, led by Agito’s older brother. Known as the Circle of Win, their job is to monitor and arrest Air Trekkers who violate laws. Ikki and the gang run away, but are chased by Agito whose furry has once again been released. Can Ikki convince Agito of the error of his ways before it is too late?
