    You can do it, Kurahara!
[00:43] Coach
    Go!
[00:50] Student
    Apparently, he wasn't in perfect condition.
[00:53] Student
    What? And he still finished in 13:54?
[00:55] Student
    Isn't he still a second-year?
[00:58] Coach
    Disgraceful!
[00:59] Coach
    Average times like these
    are as good as losses!
[01:03] Coach
    Learn from Kurahara!
[01:05] All
    Yes, sir.
[01:07] Coach
    We're going back to the school
    and running ten kilometers!
[01:10] Coach
    The next race has already begun!
[01:12] Coach
    That's all!
[01:13] All
    Yes, sir.
[01:15] Coach
    You don't need to run, Kurahara.
[01:16] Coach
    Good job.

    It's been a while, Kurahara.
[03:05] Kosuke
    I was surprised.
[03:06] Kosuke
    I ran this course yesterday, too.
[03:11] Kosuke
    I didn't think you were still running.
[03:18] Kakeru
    Sakaki...
[03:22] Kosuke
    Who were those guys you were with?
[03:27] Kakeru
    It's none of your business.
[03:29] Kosuke
    Really? Well, I guess it doesn't matter.
[03:34] Kosuke
    Lucky you.
[03:36] Kosuke
    You made some friends.

    You're wrong!
[05:07] Nerd
    That's a shallow interpretation!

    But the protagonist said so himself.

    He can't take it anymore.
[05:12] Nerd
    You're missing the panel that comes after that!
[05:16] Nerd
    The author hasn't given up!
[05:18] Nerd
    You should go home right now
    and see for yourself!
[05:21] Prince
    Passionate, right?
[05:23] Prince
    We're always like this when it comes to comics.
[05:27] Prince
    It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say
[05:29] Prince
    everything important we've learned
    about life has come from comics.
[05:32] Prince
    Friendship, hard work, and everything else.
[05:35] Prince
    It's an enriching experience.
[05:36] Nerd
    Why don't you join us?
[05:38] Nerd
    The Comics Club welcomes you.
[05:41] Prince
    Why don't you begin
    your new college life with us?
[05:45] Kakeru
    But I don't read comics...
[05:48] Rugby team
    Sir, we'll clear a table for you.
[06:01] Prince
    No king rules forever.
[06:03] Prince
    What you really need
    is intellect and sensibility.
[06:08] Yuki
    Huh? Isn't that Prince and the newbie?
[06:10] Musa
    What?
[06:11] Yuki
    Did he join the Comics Club?
[06:13] Yuki
    Whatever.
[06:15] Yuki
    So, is Shindo serious
    about continuing practice?
[06:20] Musa
    At the very least,
    his expression seemed earnest.
[06:24] Musa
    On top of that, on the way back from jogging,
[06:26] Musa
    I saw Haiji and Shindo whispering
    to each other about club dues.
[06:33] Musa
    When I looked up "club
    dues" in the dictionary...
[06:36] Yuki
    It's money.
[06:36] Musa
    Yes! They're talking about money.
[06:40] Musa
    What am I going to do if
    they request money from me?
[06:44] Yuki
    So you know the word for "request"...
[06:47] Musa
    The training is hard enough.
[06:49] Musa
    I can't give them money...
[06:51] Yuki
    Damn.
[06:53] Yuki
    As long as it was just Haiji who was
    excited about it, we could easily ignore it.
[06:57] Musa
    The twins are already on board.
[06:59] Musa
    If he convinces two more people,
    the yeses will have the majority.
[07:07] Prince
    See you at Aotake.
[07:14] Nerd
    By the way, did anyone buy the newest volume?

    Go!
[08:03] (Flashback) Kosuke
    I didn't think you were still running.
[08:08] (Flashback) Kakeru
    Shut up.
[08:09] (Flashback) Clerk
    Wait! Thief!
[08:12] (Flashback) Kosuke
    Who were those guys you were with?
[08:17] Kakeru
    Why?
[08:18] Kakeru
    Why couldn't I say anything?
[08:20] Kakeru
    Why?
[08:22] (Flashback) Twin (Jota or Joji)
    What are you afraid of?
[08:24] (Flashback) Twin (Jota or Joji)
    You're fast.
[08:27] (Flashback) Kakeru
    I'm not scared!
[08:28] (Flashback) Twin (Jota or Joji)
    Who cares? Run with us.
[08:31] (Flashback) Kakeru
    I can't!
[08:34] (Flashback) Haiji
    Hey!
[08:35] (Flashback) Haiji
    You like running?
[08:38] (Flashback) Haiji
    Do you like running?
[08:41] (Flashback) Kakeru
    Don't...
[08:42] (Flashback) Kakeru
    Don't ask me that!
[08:59] Hanako
    Cold!
[09:01] Kakeru
    Sorry.
[09:03] Hanako
    Really, I'm fine.
[09:05] Hanako
    If anything, I'm glad you weren't hurt.
[09:08] Kakeru
    Don't.
[09:09] Hanako
    You're an important athlete.
[09:11] Hanako
    Haiji said God might exist, after all.
[09:16] Hanako
    After meeting you, he said,
    "We're no ordinary men."
[09:21] Hanako
    "We're destined for something great."
[09:23] Hanako
    He wouldn't stop talking
    about running together.
[09:30] Hanako
    There.
[09:31] Hanako
    The only thing I understand
    is that you're really, really fast.
[09:41] Kakeru
    That's all.
[09:44] Kakeru
    I can't do anything but run.
[09:49] Haiji
    Hey!
[10:05] Haiji
    I know. Wanna race?
[10:07] Kakeru
    Huh?
[10:08] Haiji
    Let's race to Aotake with Nira.
[10:11] Haiji
    Okay.
[10:13] Haiji
    Ready...
[10:14] Kakeru
    Why?
[10:16] Kakeru
    Why won't you leave me alone?
[10:18] Kakeru
    If you want to run, you can run by yourself.
[10:23] Kakeru
    Isn't that what it means to run?
[10:26] Kakeru
    I'm sorry, but you should give up on me.
[10:31] Kakeru
    I—
[10:32] Haiji
    Kurahara.
[10:35] Haiji
    Even though you run by yourself,
    you're not actually alone.
[10:43] Haiji
    You're always running with someone else.
[10:49] Kakeru
    I don't understand.
[10:55] Haiji
    I see.
[10:56] Haiji
    Okay, Nira.
[10:57] Haiji
    Ready... go!
[11:00] Haiji
    You're fast, Nira.
[11:07] Kakeru
    Someone?
[11:17] Musa
    You bought shoes?
[11:18] Shindo
    Yeah. Specialized shoes are better, apparently.
[11:23] Yuki
    Your attendance has been perfect.
[11:25] Nico
    So, what?
[11:27] Yuki
    Nothing.
[11:29] Haiji
    Everyone's here.
[11:32] Haiji
    Hana's waiting for us at the finish line today.
[11:34] King
    What?
SIGN    Feeble
[11:36] Haiji
    Hana will be timing us today.
[11:38] Haiji
    Do whatever it takes to finish.
[11:41] Haiji
    Kurahara, you, too.
[11:44] Haiji
    If we don't all get there,
[11:46] Haiji
    Hana will be waiting at the
    Tamagawa River forever and ever.
[11:52] Haiji
    I've told her we're starting at exactly six.
[11:56] Haiji
    30 seconds to go.
[11:57] Twin (Jota or Joji)
    All right!
[11:59] Twin (Jota or Joji)
    We'll show you what we can do!
[12:01] Shindo
    Then you guys should get new shoes.
[12:03] Shindo
    Aren't those basketball shoes?
[12:05] Twin (Jota or Joji)
    Huh? What do you mean?
[12:07] Shindo
    I'll take you someplace special sometime.
[12:10] Twin (Jota or Joji)
    Why does that sound so indecent?
[12:13] Twin (Jota or Joji)
    I can't take it!
[12:14] Musa
    See? He's trying to win them over.
[12:16] Yuki
    Calm down. The twins have
    always been on his side.
[12:20] Haiji
    Eight, seven, six,
[12:22] Nico
    Good grief.
[12:22] Haiji
    five, four, three, two, one.
[12:24] Prince
    What a waste of time.
[12:28] Haiji
    Go!
[12:37] Twin (Jota or Joji)
    How is he so fast?
[12:38] Twin (Jota or Joji)
    It's infuriating!
[12:39] Haiji
    Don't get thrown off by his pace!
[12:42] Haiji
    Same thing goes for races!
[12:43] Twin (Jota or Joji)
    Got it!
[12:46] Haiji
    Prince, I'm extremely moved right now.
[12:49] Prince
    By what?
[12:51] Haiji
    In just one week, your pace
    has increased substantially.
[12:55] Haiji
    You have that much aptitude.
[13:04] Haiji
    Do it, and you'll understand.
[13:05] Haiji
    Never do it, and you'll never understand.
[13:08] Prince
    That's from "The Burning Pen"—
[13:09] Haiji
    Comics taught you
    everything that matters, right?
[13:18] Hanako
    Hey! Over here!
[13:20] Hanako
    Oh, wow! You're so fast!
[13:22] Old man
    Ah, to be young.
[13:25] Kakeru
    Please stop.
[13:27] Hanako
    Goal!
[13:29] Hanako
    Wow! 14:53.
[13:32] Hanako
    Five kilometers in 14:53?
[13:34] Hanako
    That's fast.
[13:36] Kosuke
    You holding back, Kurahara?
[13:39] Kosuke
    Five kilometers in 14:53?
[13:41] Kosuke
    That time would've been
    unthinkable for you in high school.
[13:45] Hanako
    Who are you?
[13:47] Kosuke
    I'm Tokyo Sport University
    first-year Sakaki Kosuke.
[13:51] Kosuke
    Who are you? The manager?
[13:53] Hanako
    I'm not the manager, but...
[13:56] Kakeru
    She's timing us. We're busy.
[13:59] Kosuke
    Timing you?
[14:01] Kosuke
    But no one's coming.
[14:03] Kosuke
    Oh, I get it. So that's how it is.
[14:06] Kosuke
    Even you lower your level when
    running with such low-level guys.
[14:13] Kosuke
    I finally understood after contacting the OBs.
[14:16] Kosuke
    They said you're attending Kansei University.
[14:19] Kosuke
    Do they even have a track and field team?
[14:22] Kosuke
    Is this some kind of friendly jogging club?
[14:24] Kakeru
    Just go!
[14:29] Kosuke
    You going to hit me again?
[14:32] Hanako
    What?
[14:34] Twin (Jota or Joji)
    Yeah!
[14:39] Shindo
    You really should get new shoes.
[14:42] Shindo
    It's way easier, Musa.
[14:45] Yuki
    Your time's improving.
[14:49] Nico
    So, what?
[14:51] King
    That's odd. Maybe it's because
    there was a headwind today.
[14:55] Hanako
    Then you'd all be running
    under the same circumstances.
[14:57] King
    Right.
[15:02] Twin (Jota or Joji)
    Who's that guy?
[15:05] Haiji
    Look, Prince!
[15:06] Haiji
    Your friends are waiting for you!
    The heroes of Aotake!
[15:10] Haiji
    They're waiting for the warrior
    named Prince to return!
[15:15] Yuki
    Sounds like something Prince would enjoy.
[15:18] Musa
    Haiji's learning.
[15:20] Haiji
    That's right!
[15:21] Haiji
    Today, you'll reach an unknown
    territory you've never reached before!
[15:29] Haiji
    You're here!
[15:43] Hanako
    34:59:28.
[15:48] Haiji
    Hear that, Prince? 34 minutes.
[15:50] Haiji
    You broke the 35-minute wall. You did it.
[15:58] Kosuke
    What is this? A seniors marathon?
[16:01] Kosuke
    I can walk faster than that.
[16:08] Kosuke
    What?
[16:11] Haiji
    You know each other? Where are you from?
[16:14] Kosuke
    Excuse me, Coach. I'm—
[16:17] Haiji
    I'm not the coach.
[16:18] Haiji
    I'm a fourth-year. An athlete.
[16:20] Kosuke
    Excuse me. I know Kurahara.
[16:23] Kosuke
    He really helped me out a lot in high school.
[16:28] Haiji
    You're on the track and field team?
[16:29] Kosuke
    Yes, on Tokyo Sports Uni's.
[16:32] Haiji
    Tokyo Sports Uni...
[16:33] Haiji
    Then we'll see you at the track meet.
[16:36] Kosuke
    Track meet?
[16:37] Haiji
    The Tokyo Sports Uni track
    meet is at the end of the month.
[16:42] Kosuke
    Yes, but...
[16:43] Haiji
    Then we'll see you there.
[16:44] Nico
    Isn't that enough?
[16:47] Kosuke
    What? You're going to run at the track meet?
[16:51] Haiji
    Of course. We can't qualify
    without official records.
[16:55] Musa
    Haiji, stop!
[16:57] Kosuke
    Qualify?
[16:58] Yuki
    Don't!
[17:00] Haiji
    For the Hakone Ekiden.
[17:09] Kosuke
    What?
[17:11] Haiji
    To participate in the Hakone Ekiden
    qualifier, we need official records.
[17:15] Haiji
    So we'll run at the meet.
[17:17] Haiji
    All of us.
[17:20] Haiji
    Those ten guys are the Kansei
    University Hakone Ekiden team.
[17:26] Kosuke
    Hakone? Is he serious?
[17:30] Kosuke
    Are you making light of track and field? Huh?
[17:33] Haiji
    No.
[17:35] Kosuke
    I'm asking you, Kurahara!
[17:41] King
    What is that?
[17:44] Twin (Jota or Joji)
    Don't worry.
[17:45] Twin (Jota or Joji)
    If anything happens...
[17:49] Hanako
    Whoa...
[17:50] Kosuke
    Say something.
[17:53] Kosuke
    Aren't you embarrassed to run at their level?
[17:56] Yuki
    Our level?
[18:00] Nico
    If anything, I find it invigorating.
[18:09] Prince
    This is why I hate them...
[18:13] Prince
    It's always about levels, winning and losing.
[18:16] Prince
    They can only describe things on that level.
[18:20] Shindo
    Prince?
[18:22] Prince
    I really hate running,
[18:25] Prince
    but more than that,
[18:27] Prince
    I hate people who criticize
    others for what they do!
[18:36] Prince
    I'm not sure if these people
    are my friends or not.
[18:39] Yuki
    Hey.
[18:41] Prince
    But at the very least,
[18:42] Prince
    they recognize me, my ideas, and my worth.
[18:50] Prince
    Among them, there is no high or low level.
[18:54] Prince
    The only thing that matters is who we are!
[19:00] Prince
    So I...
[19:05] Haiji
    Prince...
[19:07] Haiji
    You heard him.
[19:08] Yuki
    That was quick!
[19:13] Haiji
    Kakeru will get faster.
[19:15] Haiji
    Even faster than when you knew him.
[19:32] Kakeru
    Sakaki!
[19:39] Kakeru
    We'll meet again.
[19:48] Nico
    What was that? A declaration of war?
[19:51] Kakeru
    What?
[19:52] King
    Didn't you mean he'll pay for this?
[19:54] Kakeru
    No!
[19:56] Yuki
    You're the type to provoke
    people subconsciously.
[19:58] Kakeru
    What?!
[19:58] Musa
    You were cool, though.
[20:00] Musa
    You, Haiji, and Prince.
[20:03] Shindo
    We've got a goal for now.
[20:06] Twin (Jota or Joji)
    Yeah! Let's run in this track meet!
[20:08] Twin (Jota or Joji)
    You just watch us, damn it!
    Who cares if we're low level?
[20:13] Haiji
    Prince is right. You're you.
[20:16] Haiji
    Do what you want.
[20:18] Haiji
    So will I.
[20:21] Haiji
    That's why I'll run with you
    and the rest of the guys.
[20:33] Haiji
    Let's head back. Breakfast is waiting.
[20:36] Twin (Jota or Joji)
    Yeah!
[20:40] Haiji
    Can you walk?
[20:41] Twin (Jota or Joji)
    Finally, food!
[20:43] Haiji
    This is the beginning of our adventure!
