Dash! Yonkuro[]
In order to find out about the secret behind the superior performance of Momotaro's Crimson Glory, Tankuro modified his Dash-2 Burning Sun into the FM machine, but in doing so he has to scraps the Horizon lineage completely from machine, and forcing him to leave the Dash Warriors. This led to Shinkuro, one of the Dash Warriors members, showing his distrust toward Tankuro.
However, Tankuro was later convinced by Yonkuro (who used his Emperor to deliver a mail to him) to re-joins the team. He come back during the national championship final and use his Neo Burning Sun in the race.
During the final section of the race, Punkuro gave the Condenser Circuit to Tankuro, who then use it on the battle between him and Momotaro. Its motor was then exploded, totaled the car. However the now-broken Neo Burning Sun was later used as a jump stand for Yonkuro's Great Emperor, leading to the ultimate victory for the Dash Warriors in the national tournament.
Tankuro later exchanged his Neo Burning Sun for Genta's Wild Saurus, from then on Genta uses the Neo Burning Sun throughout the Black Mistral arc.
