Haiji!

Are you okay?

You can do it!

You've got this!

Dad.

It's Musa and the twins.
**[03:08] Hanako**
What?
**[03:10] Yaokatsu**
The pack's starting to scatter.

**[03:37] Announcer**
* As usual, the exchange*

**[03:40] Analyst**
I hope the runners behind
them don't get thrown off
**[03:44] Analyst**
and maintain their own pace instead.
**[03:52] Announcer**
*The lead pack seems to have settled in.*
**[03:55] Analyst**
*The level of the qualifier rises every year.*
**[03:58] Analyst**
* We expect to see great*
* individual performances,*
**[04:01] Analyst**
* but in the qualifier, it's all about*

**[04:28] Plasterer**
It's no use. I can't tell where Haiji is.
**[04:31] Plasterer**
He's probably in the lead pack.
**[04:34] Yaokatsu**
He managed to avoid getting
caught up in the fall, right?
**[04:37] Hanako**
Yeah.
**[04:37] Rikudo**
Seriously?
**[04:38] Rikudo**
I don't know.
**[04:39] Rikudo**
The coach is confirming it right now.
**[04:41] Rikudo**
No way... He dropped out?
**[04:52] (Flashback) Haiji**
We'll head out onto the road, pass the station,
**[04:55] (Flashback) Haiji**
and cross under the monorail bridge.
**[04:58] (Flashback) Haiji**
That's about ten kilometers.
**[05:08] Hanako**
Ma'am!
**[05:10] Butcher**
Hana.
**[05:11] Hanako**
Did you see everyone run by?
**[05:14] Butcher**
I caught glimpses of them,
but I didn't see them clearly.
**[05:18] Hanako**
What about Haiji?
**[05:19] Butcher**
Haiji? I haven't seen him.
**[05:22] Butcher**
Did something happen?
**[05:26] Yaokatsu**
There! It's Haiji!
**[05:28] Yaokatsu**
In the lead pack, behind Kakeru!

**[07:07] Announcer**

**[09:14] Hanako**
I'm going to someplace
where I can see the finish line.
**[09:17] Yaokatsu**
Be careful!
**[09:45] Fan**
Go! Don't let him beat you!
**[09:46] Fan**
You can catch them!
**[10:07] Hanako**
Excuse me. Sorry.
**[10:17] Hanako**
I saw that guy at the track meet.
**[10:28] Official**
Don't stop.
**[10:29] Official**
Keep moving. Runners, to the field.
**[10:32] Hanako**
Less than an hour.
**[10:34] Hanako**
They're fast.
**[10:36] Fan**
They're here!
**[10:44] Fan**
Wow! He's keeping up with an exchange student!
**[10:47] Fan**
He's up against Iwanki!
**[10:48] Fan**
Keep it up, you two!
***SIGN*** Tokyo-Hakone Collegiate Ekiden Relay Race
**[11:26] Official**
The runners are coming.
**[11:28] Official**
Don't stop moving.

**[11:36] Hanako**
Wow, wow, wow!
**[11:38] Official**
*Next runners are coming.*
**[13:13] Musa**
King just finished.
**[13:16] Joji**
He's probably in the 120's.
**[13:20] Musa**
Nico-chan Senpai.
**[13:24] Haiji**
Drink some water.
**[13:26] Kakeru**
Where's Prince?
**[13:39] Fan**
You can do it!
**[13:40] Fan**

**[14:04] Prince**
Sports aren't necessarily beautiful...
**[14:10] Official**
Get them out of here.
**[14:11] Official**
Keep moving them.
**[14:13] Hanako**
Prince!
**[14:14] Hanako**
You're in the 100's!
**[14:16] Hanako**
You beat the 200's!
**[14:23] Yuki**
Hey!
**[14:23] Yuki**
Why didn't you guys record your times?
**[14:26] Nico**
Yuki, the camera's rolling.
**[14:30] Yuki**
It's all information warfare these days!
**[14:33] Yuki**
The race is more or less decided
before they announce the results!
**[14:37] King**
You couldn't care less six months ago.
**[14:41] Haiji**
If we average everyone's standing,
**[14:44] Haiji**
we probably come out around the mid-80's.
**[14:49] Haiji**
That's right on the
borderline of qualification.
**[15:15] Plasterer**
I don't know what to say to them.
**[15:30] Haiji**
You ran well.
**[15:33] Prince**
From far away, you're the only ones
who look like you're having a picnic.
**[15:37] Nico**
You've always got something to say.
**[15:45] Student**
We will now announce the results of the
Tokyo-Hakone Collegiate Ekiden Relay Race.
**[15:53] Joji**
It's time.
**[16:00] Student**
First, Tokyo Sport University.
***SIGN*** Tokyo Sport University 10:09:12
**[16:12] Jota**
Damn.
**[16:14] Haiji**
They're under ten minutes.
**[16:16] Haiji**
It was a high-paced race.
**[16:20] Student**
Second.
**[16:21] Student**
Kofu Academy University.
**[16:25] King**
Seriously? They hesitated between
announcing the rank and school's name.
**[16:31] Student**
Third, Teito University.
**[16:37] Prince**
We already know the results.
They should hurry it up.
**[16:40] Nico**
Whining as soon as you've recovered?
**[16:43] Nico**
You've got a lot of energy.
**[16:45] Student**

**[17:54] Musa**
Shindo!
**[17:57] Both**
Yeah!
**[18:05] ---**
All right!
**[18:16] ---**
Haiji!
***SIGN*** Kansei University 10:16:43
**[18:44] Shindo**
It's not a mistake, is it?
**[18:45] Musa**
It says tenth right there.
**[18:49] Yuki**
It's like a TV show.
**[18:50] Nico**
This is reality.
**[18:55] Haiji**
Well, we proved that Hakone wasn't just a dream.
**[19:02] Haiji**
All that's left is to train
and train until we reach the top.
**[19:06] Haiji**
We'll do nothing but practice
again starting tomorrow.
**[19:10] Nico**
Can't we have tomorrow off?
**[19:12] Yuki**
Let us rest!
**[19:13] King**
What more can we do?
**[19:17] Director**
I can't use this footage.
**[19:30] King**
Were you guys nervous getting water?
**[19:31] King**
My heart was pounding.
**[19:32] Yuki**
I know what you mean.
**[19:33] King**
Oh, I know. Let's predict
which sections we'll run.
**[19:37] Nico**
You're getting ahead of yourself.
**[19:39] Shindo**
I'm amazed you can read.
**[19:41] Prince**
I'm rewarding myself.
**[19:44] Haiji**
Guys, the fan club is giving us a gift of meat.
**[19:48] Haiji**
We're grilling meat tonight!
**[19:50] All**
Yeah!
**[19:55] Joji**
Hey, Kakeru.
**[19:58] Hanako**
Kakeru.
**[20:01] Joji**
Haiji said we'd reach the top.
**[20:04] Kakeru**
Just now?
**[20:07] Joji**
Just now, and when he recruited us to run.
**[20:12] Haiji**
Let's aim for the top together!
**[20:16] Jota**
He says it all the time.
**[20:17] Jota**
And each time, I've thought, “yeah!”
**[20:20] Kakeru**
And?
**[20:22] Joji**
When he says top, do you think
he means winning the race?
**[20:28] Jota**
Our total time was 10:16:43.
**[20:33] Jota**
Tokyo Sport, the top finisher in the qualifier,
**[20:35] Jota**
was more than seven minutes faster.
**[20:38] Joji**
Just how fast are the teams
that win the Hakone Ekiden?
**[20:43] Jota**
Can we reach that level through practice?
**[20:49] Jota**
Kakeru, what are we running for?
