did
want to kill Kenzaki, then
went to a race track?
Am I...
Am I getting that right?
I think that for Shinmei, knowing that he's going to be competing against the rest of the Undead and that he isn't likely to be able to be the last man standing on his own, insinuating his way into the organization that unsealed the Undead to begin with in order to find some kind of advantage he could theoretically use against the rest of the Undead isn't necessarily a bad plan. It is possible that Tachibana screwed up his plan by, you know, destroying BOARD.
Drawing out Kenzaki and Tachibana by posing as an ally in order to get access to the only working pieces of BOARD tech remaining with the aim of finishing his weapon is maybe also not a bad plan.
As far as the race track goes, I got nothing
The story
is
heavy on event-driven and light on character-driven and the consequences thereof for our main characters, and I'm not going to tell you that it not working for you is wrong - over the past many threads you've been pretty clear about what kind of stories do and don't work for you, and this is not the kind of thing that you have been positive about. Which is a tl;dr way of saying that I don't expect you to feel differently about the story whether or not it makes any kind of internal sense (and that's ok!), just that I don't necessarily think Shinmei's plot was Entirely Ridiculous.
