SIGN    Run with the Wind
[02:19] King
    Have you been at it?
[02:21] King
    Looking for a job, I mean.
[02:23] Haiji
    Does it look like I have been?
[02:25] King
    What are you gonna do?
    Join a works team?
[02:29] King
    Are you staying in school?
[02:32] King
    Then I'll stay, too.
[02:34] King
    Let's run the Hakone Ekiden next year, too.
[02:37] Haiji
    King...
[02:40] Haiji
    I won't be staying in school,
[02:43] Haiji
    but I haven't thought about the future, either.
[02:46] Haiji
    Running at the Hakone Ekiden.
    It's all I've thought about for a while now.
[02:51] King
    Of course.
[02:52] King
    If you told me you had a job lined up,
[02:56] King
    I'd be pissed.
[03:00] Haiji
    Section 8 is a hard section.
[03:02] Haiji
    Even if you're passed, don't let it bother you.
[03:06] King
    No one's passing me.
[03:08] Haiji
    The key point is the Yugyoji Temple slope.
SIGN    Yugyoji Temple
[03:10] Haiji
    Save as much stamina as you can for there.
[03:14] King
    Yugyoji, right?
[03:17] King
    Question for you:
[03:19] King
    What is Yugyoji Temple's official name?
[03:21] Haiji
    King.
[03:22] Haiji
    I'll help you look for a job.
[03:24] King
    What? How?
[03:26] King
    There's no way you can.
[03:29] King
    How are you gonna do that? Tell me.
[03:32] Tazaki
    King.
[03:34] Tazaki
    King!
[03:36] Tazaki
    If you can hear me, give me a sign.
[03:41] Tazaki
    Now breathe deeply
    and stretch your shoulders.
[03:49] Tazaki
    Haiji called me in a panic
    because you're going too fast.
[03:55] Tazaki
    I've got a message for you.
[03:57] Tazaki
    “When we meet in Otemachi,
[03:59] Tazaki
    tell me the history of Yugyoji Temple.”

    Hello. I'm first-year Kiyose Haiji.
[04:53] (Flashback) Haiji
    I'm a literature student.
[04:54] (Flashback) King
    I'm Sakaguchi Yohei, sociology student.
[04:58] (Flashback) King
    I'm a first-year.
[05:00] (Flashback) Haiji
    Nice to meet you.
[05:08] (Flashback) King
    You, too.
[05:09] (Flashback) Nico
    I don't know how long we'll be able
    to live here, but enjoy your stay.
[05:13] (Flashback) Haiji
    Do you want some tea if I make some?
[05:17] King
    A cheerful and fun college life.
[05:23] King
    I simply chose that place because
    I hoped for something like I'd seen on TV.
[05:32] King
    But reality was different.
[05:35] King
    My college life was uneventful.
[05:39] King
    It seems like I'll graduate
    having done nothing at all.
[05:44] King
    If I was wrong about anything, it was me.
[05:49] King
    I failed to meet my own expectations.
[05:53] King
    Cowardly and proud, but still wanting
    others to show consideration for me.
[06:01] King
    I hated that about myself.
[06:03] King
    How I acted and how I felt
    were completely different.
[06:12] King
    He might...
[06:15] King
    Haiji might accept me.
[06:20] King
    I was afraid to think that.
[06:27] King
    After all,
[06:30] King
    he doesn't consider me his best friend.
[06:37] King
    It's no use.
[06:39] King
    No matter where I go or who I'm with,
    I always feel like the only one out of place.
[06:44] King
    I try to be sociable, but I don't feel
    like I've opened up to anyone.
[06:50] King
    I try not to show any weakness.
[06:52] King
    I'm the king. Stay away.
[06:57] King
    But no one will approach me if I'm like that.
[07:01] King
    But if I admit I'm lonely, it's over.
[07:05] King
    It's too late to change myself now.
[07:07] Student
    Sakaguchi!
[07:08] Student
    You're thirty seconds behind Tokyo Sport!
[07:10] Student
    Teito's behind you!
[07:12] Tazaki
    That's a good pace.
    You re-established your rhythm.
[07:17] King
    But...
[07:20] King
    ...it's different when I'm running.
[07:25] King
    We don't have a team if anyone's missing.
[07:29] King
    I feel like something's expected of me.
[07:32] King
    We can cast aside our restraint
    and pride to support one another.
[07:37] King
    But while I'm running, I'm always alone.
[07:41] King
    Released from everything else,
    I can face myself.
[07:47] King
    When I'm running, I don't need to put on an act.
[07:54] King
    That's right. I'm nobody.
[07:59] King
    And that nobody is the real me.
[08:07] Coach
    You can go faster, Sakaki!
[08:10] Coach
    More, more!
[08:12] Announcer
    First-year Sakaki swings his arms fervently
    as he pursues the runner in front of him.
[08:17] Tazaki
    It's the fifteen-kilometer mark. This is it.
[08:21] Tazaki
    I have a second message from Haiji.
[08:24] Tazaki
    “Are you ready to buzz in with your answer?”

[09:20] Kakeru
    Not in the slightest.
[09:21] Kakeru
    How are you doing?
[09:23] Haiji
    Sorry, but I feel great.
[09:26] Haiji
    In recent history, no runner greater
    than Fujioka has been seen
[09:28] Haiji
    in the college long-distance running scene.
[09:31] Haiji
    By competing against him,
    you'll become even stronger.
[09:37] Kakeru
    Are you saying I can't beat him yet?
[09:41] Haiji
    We ran together for a year.
[09:45] Haiji
    So I can tell you this:
[09:48] Haiji
    To me, you are the greatest runner.
[09:54] Haiji
    Become stronger, Kakeru.
