Narita Taishin (Nevertheless) is good for Medium and Long races, with her Unique, Innate, and Potential skills synergizing well with her preferred End Closer running style (although Late Surger is possible with the correct Sparks).
While Narita Taishin is a decent unit, it is not required to pull for her, as the player already has access to other Long and Medium runners such as Gold Ship and Nice Nature.
As such, only pull for Narita Taishin if you desperately need another Medium or Long racer, or if you like her character.
Should You Pull for Narita Taishin?
| Training Tips |

|

When training Narita Taishin, use the brand new Unity Cup scenario to take advantage of the new Spirit Burst mechanic. This not only lets you gain more stats than normal, but can also provide useful Skill Hints.
Nartita Taishin excels at running in the End Closer style as she has an A rank aptitude for it. Almost all of her skills will only activate when she uses this style, such as Sleeping Lion and Encroaching Shadow, which will aid her during her career races.
To increase the amount of skills you immediately have access to on Narita Taishin, it is recommended to max out her Potential level to unlock Encroaching Shadow. However, if you do not have the Monies or materials to do so, try to unlock Potential Level 3 for her Sleeping Lion recovery skill which will help her on Medium and Long races.
Since Narita Taishin will be part of your Long team in Team Trials, getting sparks to improve her aptitude for Long from A to S is a must.

Since Narita Taishin will be an End Closer in your Long Team in Team Trials, she will need Speed and Power to easily overtake her opponents and reach the front from behind. Give her Stamina as well, as she will primarily be running Long races in her career. Finally, get Wit for skill activation, as well as some Guts.
When training Narita Taishin, make sure to at least have 400 stamina before the Kikuka Sho on Classic Year Late October, and at least 500 stamina before the Tenno Sho (Spring) on Senior Year Late April to help you survive both races.
If you are only planning to clear a career run with Narita Taishin, then you can aim for lower stat numbers, as the stats above are for Team Trials.
Narita Taishin's recommended deck is a 3 Speed, 2 Power, 1 Pal deck, although you can also go for a 3 Speed, 2 Stamina, 1 Pal deck if you are having a hard time meeting the Stamina requirements. This will help you get the Speed and Stamina that Narita Taishin needs for her Long races.
Rice Shower (Happiness Just around the Bend) in particular is a great Power card, as it can give you Swinging Maestro, a powerful Gold Recovery Skill.
If you do not have Riko Kashimoto (Planned Perfection), you can instead use a fully uncapped Riko Kashimoto (Tracen Academy).
| Recommended Alternative Support Cards | |
|---|---|
| Speed | |
| Power | |
| Stamina |
These cards will help Narita Taishin level her needed Stats (especially with Rainbow/Friendship Training), as well as provide some needed skills.
These stats are enough to clear the URA Finale easily, as they provide enough Speed, Stamina, and Power for all of Narita Taishin's career races, especially when partnered with the correct skills. As for the deck, you can either run a 3 Speed, 3 Stamina deck, or a 3 Speed, 2 Stamina, 1 Pal deck, with Tazuna Hayakawa as the preferred Pal card.
| Recommended | |
|---|---|
| 12★ Stamina 6★ Power |

| 3★ End Closer 3★ Medium 3★ Long |
Stamina and Power sparks are recommended for Narita Taishin, with a focus on Stamina sparks, as almost half of her career races are Long races. In the same way, try to get Long sparks to help her get through said career races, as well as improve her chances in Team Trials.
End Closer sparks are highly recommended to push it from A to S. While Late Surger sparks can make the style viable, it is not recommended, as Narita Taishin's Innate and Potential skills are mostly for End Closers.
You can use either your own Veterans, or borrow the ones from your friends. If you do not have Veterans with full sparks, you can go with whatever you have access to.
Stamina skills are important for Narita Taishin. As such, skills like Sleeping Lion and Swinging Maestro will be helpful. Sleeping Lion is especially helpful thanks to its easy activation requirements, as well as ease of access, thanks to it being one of Narita Taishin's Potential skills.
For speed skills, try to get Encroaching Shadow, Homestretch Haste, and No Stopping Me! to help Narita Taishin catch up in the last spurt. Professor of Curvature, as well as Long and End Closer Corners, will all help her get speed when turning corners.
If you cannot get the recommended skills, you can replace them with similar skills that you have access to. You will just need to make sure that Narita Taishin can activate said skills in a race.
