[00:25] Shindo
    Good morning.
[00:29] Yuki
    Go back to bed.
[00:33] Shindo
    Did it snow overnight?
[00:36] Yuki
    We're all in the same boat.
[00:39] Yuki
    Go to sleep.
[00:42] Yuki
    I'm worried.
[00:44] Yuki
    Will I trip on the slope?
[00:46] Yuki
    Will my shoelaces break?
[00:49] Shindo
    You'll be fine.
[00:51] Shindo
    You could even win your section.
[00:54] Yuki
    Can't you be more realistic
    in your encouragement?
[00:57] Shindo
    You always do what you say you'll do.
[01:02] Shindo
    That goes for both the bar exam
    and the Hakone Ekiden.
[01:05] Yuki
    The exam and the Ekiden are different.
[01:08] Shindo
    Tell me you'll try to win your section.
[01:13] Yuki
    Okay, okay.
[01:15] Yuki
    I'll go for it. I'll try to win.
[01:16] Yuki
    I promise I'll try.
[01:18] Shindo
    Good. Then you'll be fine.
[01:21] Yuki
    If only I could've supported you
    like this yesterday...
[01:25] Shindo
    Huh?
[01:28] Yuki
    I'm useless.

[03:23] Kakeru
    Where's Haiji?
[03:24] Twin (Jota or Joji)
    In his room, probably. Why?
[03:27] Kakeru
    It's unusual for him not

[03:31] Twin (Jota or Joji)
    Oh, right...
[03:32] Twin (Jota or Joji)
    But he's Section 10.
[03:35] Twin (Jota or Joji)

    they're getting ready right now.

    What are you talking about?
[04:00] Hanako
    He just came out of Haiji's room.
[04:04] Twin (Jota or Joji)
    What?
[04:07] Haiji
    He's my sports doctor.
[04:10] Kakeru
    It's your leg, isn't it?
[04:11] Kakeru
    Did something happen?
    How long has it been feeling off?
[04:14] Haiji
    There's nothing wrong with it.
    I was just being careful.
[04:17] Kakeru

    All 21 runners are now engaged

[06:57] (Flashback) Yuki
    Among Section 6's final entrants,
[06:59] (Flashback) Yuki
    only Rikudo runs a 28-minute 10k.
[07:03] (Flashback) Shindo
    You'll be able to keep up with them.
[07:10] (Flashback) Haiji
    You're the only one
    who can ride down Hakone.
[07:22] Yuki
    Don't be scared.
[07:26] Kakeru
    Five kilometers in 13:45?
[07:28] Kakeru
    That's too fast.
[07:29] Twin (Jota or Joji)
    But didn't Haiji say it's normal to run the
    five kilometers of Section 6 in thirteen minutes?
[07:35] Kakeru
    If you're an experienced runner.
[07:37] Kakeru
    It's not easy to control your speed
    on the downhill once you get going.
[07:42] Kakeru
    If you're not careful, you'll start
    running at short-distance speeds.
[07:47] Twin (Jota or Joji)
    Let's trust him.
[07:50] Twin (Jota or Joji)
    All we can do is trust Yuki.
[07:52] Twin (Jota or Joji)
    Hana said the same thing: “Just trust him.”
[07:56] Kakeru
    Hana did?
[07:57] Twin (Jota or Joji)
    Yeah. Hana—
[07:58] Twin (Jota or Joji)
    Oh, uh...
[08:01] Twin (Jota or Joji)
    Hana said, uh... what was it?
[08:04] Kakeru
    We don't have to talk about it.
[08:07] Twin (Jota or Joji)
    What does that mean?
[08:10] Twin (Jota or Joji)
    H-Hey, listen.
[08:12] Twin (Jota or Joji)
    Just so you know, I like Hana.
[08:15] Twin (Jota or Joji)
    Don't screw it up for me.
[08:17] Kakeru
    I know.
[08:18] Twin (Jota or Joji)
    What?
[08:19] Twin (Jota or Joji)
    How do you know?!
[08:32] Announcer
    We just received the teams'
    five-kilometer times.
SIGN    New Years Sports Special
[08:35] Announcer
    This is a rather fast pace. Right, Seto-san?
[08:38] Announcer
    Yeah. When it comes to running
    downhill, you need guts.
[08:42] TV
    Manaka and Kansei are on record pace.
[08:45] TV
    We can't get a broadcast car to them yet.
[08:47] TV
    Get a bike on Kansei.
[08:48] TV
    Follow them on the fixed cameras.
[08:51] Announcer
    Running downhill is like taking
    your hands off the handlebars
[08:55] Announcer
    while riding a bike down a steep slope.
[08:58] Announcer
    But if you have the courage and guts for it,
[09:01] Announcer
    you could go for the record.
[09:03] Announcer
    Manaka's Fudemura and Kansei's
    Iwakura are running particularly quickly.
[09:14] Yuki
    These past five kilometers,
    I've run each kilometer in 2:45.
[09:18] Yuki
    It's unbelievable.
[09:19] Yuki
    I could never run this fast on a flat track.
[09:22] Yuki
    No one can run that fast.
[09:26] Yuki
    There is one.
[09:28] Yuki
    Oh, right.
[09:30] Yuki
    This is the world Kakeru runs in.
[09:33] Yuki
    Kakeru...
[09:35] Yuki
    Do you always run this fast?
[09:41] Yuki
    If I keep running like this, can I be like you?
[09:49] Yuki
    No, don't!
[09:52] Yuki
    It's too dangerous for me.
[09:55] Yuki
    Today's my last day.
[09:57] Yuki
    I have my own life to live.
[10:01] Yuki
    Hey, Kakeru...
[10:05] Yuki
    Don't go too far.
[10:08] Yuki
    The place you're going is
    beautiful, but it's too lonely.
[10:13] Yuki
    Too lonely for any living human to endure.
[10:23] Yuki
    Shoot.
[10:25] Yuki
    Focus. Focus, focus.

    I'm sorry,

    Yuki!
[11:40] Nico
    I knew you'd do it!
[11:46] Twin (Jota or Joji)
    Yuki!
[11:48] Twin (Jota or Joji)
    That was amazing!
[11:49] Twin (Jota or Joji)
    You're amazing, Yuki!
[11:51] Twin (Jota or Joji)
    Two seconds faster, and you would've won!
[11:53] Twin (Jota or Joji)
    Just two seconds!
[11:56] Yuki
    Two seconds?
[11:57] Twin (Jota or Joji)
    That's amazing! You're amazing, Yuki!
[12:02] Yuki
    That two-second gap will never close.
[12:18] Nico
    It's me.
[12:20] Nico
    Are you calling to tell me
    Section 7's strategy?
[12:23] Haiji
    No. Just run to your heart's content.
[12:26] Haiji
    That's all.
[12:28] Nico
    That's simple.
[12:29] Haiji
    Keep a pace of three minutes per kilometer.
[12:31] Haiji
    That would be ideal.
[12:33] Nico
    That won't be easy.
[12:35] Nico
    Roger that.
[12:36] Haiji
    Sorry I couldn't let you take it easy.
[12:40] Nico
    Haiji, if I wanted to take it easy,
    I wouldn't have run.
[12:45] Nico
    The same goes for dieting
    and quitting smoking.
[12:48] Nico
    There's no such thing as an easy path.
[12:50] Nico
    I knew that when I made my decision.
[12:52] Haiji
    I understand.
[12:53] Nico
    Watch me. Just don't expect too much.
[13:00] Nico
    Must be nice...
[13:02] Nico
    ...being so skinny.
[13:04] Nico
    If I'd been born that skinny, I—wait...
[13:09] Nico
    I caught up?
[13:11] Nico
    Maybe he's off his game.
[13:13] Nico
    What position am I? What's my time?
[13:17] Nico
    I screwed up. What should I do?
[13:19] Nico
    Should I match his pace?
[13:22] Nico
    Of course he won't make it easy.
[13:25] Nico
    Fine, then. Let's do this.
[13:36] Nico
    Damn, this is fun.
[13:39] Nico
    This is it. This is how I wanted to run.
[13:43] (Flashback) Haiji
    Run to your heart's content.
[13:47] Nico
    Haiji, you truly are amazing.
[13:53] (Flashback) Coach
    Hirata,
[13:55] (Flashback) Coach
    why don't you give up on
    long-distance and try something else?
[13:59] (Flashback) Coach
    I think you'd be better at a throwing event.
[14:06] Nico
    It's not his fault.
[14:09] Nico
    He said that because he'd been
    observing me carefully.
[14:12] Nico
    Since the numbers decide the race,
    it's only natural that body type matters.
[14:17] Nico
    But I liked running.
[14:22] Nico
    I wanted to keep running if I could,
[14:27] Nico
    but...
[14:30] Nico
    I lost my passion.
[14:40] (Flashback) Nico
    Hey.
[14:42] (Flashback) Tazaki
    You're not a child anymore.
[14:44] (Flashback) Tazaki

[14:48] (Flashback) Haiji
    You used to run track?
[14:54] (Flashback) Nico
    A long time ago.
[14:56] (Flashback) Haiji
    In high school? What events?
[14:59] (Flashback) Nico
    I don't remember anymore.
[15:00] (Flashback) Nico
    Why? Are you a track fan?
[15:04] (Flashback) Haiji
    I was a runner.
[15:06] (Flashback) Nico
    What?
[15:07] (Flashback) Haiji
    Long-distance, throughout
    middle and high school.
[15:09] (Flashback) Nico
    Then why'd you choose Kansei?
[15:12] (Flashback) Nico
    This isn't a school for running.
[15:14] (Flashback) Nico
    Why? You slow or something?
[15:16] (Flashback) Haiji
    Not slow, just weak.
[15:20] (Flashback) Nico
    What?
[15:22] (Flashback) Haiji
    I'm weak.
[15:26] Nico
    You're not the slightest bit weak.
[15:29] Nico
    No, you've spent four years getting stronger.
[15:34] Tazaki
    Nicotine! Can you hear me, Nicotine?
[15:37] Nico
    That's just my addiction, old man.
[15:41] Tazaki
    You're currently in 13th place.

[16:38] Kosuke
    You run for fun. You wouldn't understand.
[16:41] Musa
    It's not for fun!
[16:44] Musa
    Yesterday, our teammate practically gave
    his life to pass along our sash.

    Thanks for letting me run again.
[17:40] (Flashback) Kakeru
    But that means you were frustrated, right?
[17:42] (Flashback) Kakeru
    That's why you told me.

    But it's heavy. So heavy.

    The past four years, I've endured
