[00:04] Mom
    You've been keeping secrets
    from me, Sakamichi!
[00:06] Sakamichi
    B-But, mom, I've explained it so many times.
[00:11] Mom
    You took your bike all the way to Mt. Fuji!
[00:14] Sakamichi
    Well, actually...
[00:16] Mom
    I heard you were going to Hakone,
    but nobody told me you were going to Mt. Fuji!
[00:19] Sakamichi
    What? I did tell you.
[00:21] Imaizumi
    Excuse me, ma'am. My name is Imaizumi.
[00:24] Naruko
    Excuse the intrusion. I'm Naruko.
[00:27] Naruko
    Written "cry" and "child," then "sentence"
    and "lucky," my name is Naruko Shoukichi.
[00:31] Naruko
    Onoda-kun did something super amazing.
[00:35] Imaizumi
    At the Inter-High, the year's biggest race...
[00:38] Naruko
    Onoda-kun won the general classification!
[00:41] Imaizumi
    He carried our wishes...
[00:43] Naruko
    ...to the finish line.
[00:49] Mom
    What on earth is the Inter-High?
[00:51] Naruko
    That's your question?
[00:52] Imaizumi
    This won't be easy.
[00:55] Naruko
    Basically, he climbed Mt. Fuji faster
    than any other man in the country.
[01:01] Mom
    That is amazing.
[01:03] Both
    It worked.
[01:05] Mom
    That's why you slept for
    three days after coming home.
[01:08] Sakamichi
    I was so exhausted, I couldn't move.
[01:12] Naruko
    Oh, right.
[01:13] Naruko
    Ma'am, we brought this.

[01:16] Naruko
    Onoda-kun's in a magazine.
[01:21] Mom
    Oh, my. How cool.
[01:25] Mom
    Look at this, Sakamichi.
    This is a nice photo.
[01:27] Sakamichi
    I'm good. I've already seen it.
[01:29] Mom
    This is great.
[01:30] Mom
    I forgot my camera in the car, so I
    didn't get to take a picture of you.
[01:37] Sakamichi
    You were there?!
[01:38] Naruko
    You were there?!
[01:39] Mom
    Oh, didn't I tell you?
[01:41] Mom
    I was watching all through
    the award ceremony.
[01:44] Imaizumi
    You were watching, and you
    still don't understand?
[01:47] Sakamichi
    Then that voice I heard then...
[01:51] (Flashback) Mom
    Do your best, Sakamichi!
[01:58] Mom
    Imaizumi-kun, Naruko-kun...
[02:01] Mom
    Take care of Sakamichi for me.
[02:05] Mom
    Sakamichi...
[02:08] Mom
    Be careful, and keep riding your bike.
[02:13] Sakamichi
    Okay.
[02:14] Sakamichi
    I'm off!

[04:04] (Flashback) Imaizumi
    Hey.
[04:05] (Flashback) Miki
    Good morning, Imaizumi-kun.
[04:06] (Flashback) Miki
    You're right on time for opening.
[04:08] (Flashback) Miki
    Did you take the bus today?
[04:10] (Flashback) Imaizumi
    Yeah.
[04:11] (Flashback) Imaizumi
    This place is pretty far from the bus stop.
[04:13] (Flashback) Miki
    But you'd do anything for love, right?
[04:16] (Flashback) Imaizumi
    What do you mean by love?
[04:18] (Flashback) Imaizumi
    Is it ready?
[04:23] (Flashback) Toji
    Hey.
[04:24] (Flashback) Imaizumi
    Hey, Kanzaki-san.
[04:27] (Flashback) Toji
    It's ready.
[04:28] (Flashback) Toji
    Your last one broke during the Inter-High.
[04:32] (Flashback) Toji
    It's got a new frame.
[04:34] (Flashback) Toji
    I stuck new components and wheels on it, too.
[04:37] (Flashback) Toji
    It's your new bike.
[04:40] Imaizumi
    Incredible.
[04:41] Imaizumi
    It's so direct.
[04:43] Imaizumi
    It's like the bike is responding to
    my legs' movements without any error.
[04:47] Imaizumi
    And it's light, too.
[04:49] Imaizumi
    I'm already at 40 kph,
    but it can go even faster.
[04:52] (Flashback) Toji
    This time I made the
    components electric, too.
[04:55] (Flashback) Imaizumi
    Electric?
[04:57] Toji
    The wires you've used to physically shift
    gears until now have been switched out
SIGN    Electric Signal
SIGN    Cord
SIGN    Motor
SIGN    Motor
SIGN    F Derailleur
SIGN    R Derailleur
SIGN    Battery
[05:01] Toji
    for electric signals sent to
    motors that do it for you.
[05:04] Toji
    It's like shifting gears using a switch.
[05:07] (Flashback) Toji
    On this battery, you'll be able
    to ride about 1,500 kilometers.
[05:10] (Flashback) Toji
    It's not that one's better than the other,
[05:13] (Flashback) Toji
    but you're the type to manage your
    body by shifting gears a lot.
[05:18] (Flashback) Toji
    Even when you're pushed to your limit,
    you'll be able to accurately shift gears.
[05:21] (Flashback) Toji
    This'll be a huge advantage for you.
[05:24] Imaizumi
    There's zero delay when shifting gears.
[05:29] Imaizumi
    Amazing.
[05:31] Imaizumi
    It feels so strange to have the
    gear shift at the lightest touch.
[05:35] Imaizumi
    But this bike can move!
[05:38] Imaizumi
    It feels awesome.
[05:39] Imaizumi
    Thank you, Kanzaki-san.
[05:45] Imaizumi
    Kinjou-san...
[05:46] Imaizumi
    I had a range of experiences
    at the Inter-High.
[05:49] Imaizumi
    What I've felt since it ended is that
    I've definitely become stronger.
[05:56] Imaizumi
    I'll become even stronger.
[05:59] Imaizumi
    I'll go to the Inter-High again next year.
[06:02] Imaizumi
    I'll kick aside the strong riders who
    will gather from all over the country.
[06:05] Imaizumi
    I will, as Sohoku's ace!
[06:10] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    Um, hello.
[06:13] (Flashback) Miki
    Welcome, Onoda-kun.
[06:16] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    H-Hello. Um, Kanzaki-san asked me to come.
[06:20] (Flashback) Miki
    Yeah, I heard. Come in.
[06:26] (Flashback) Toji
    Hey.
[06:26] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    Hello. Thanks for all your
    help at the Inter-High.
[06:31] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    What did you want to talk about?
[06:37] (Flashback) Toji
    The chromoly frame out front's the one
    you rode in the Inter-High, right?
[06:41] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    Oh, yes. Thank you.
[06:43] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    Thanks to you, I...
[06:44] (Flashback) Toji
    Give it back.
[06:45] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    What?
[06:49] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    What? I know I've been
    borrowing it from you, but...
[06:56] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    But...
[07:01] (Flashback) Toji
    Ride this instead.
[07:06] (Flashback) Toji
    It's a carbon module cast.
[07:08] (Flashback) Toji
    The frame's made entirely from carbon fiber.
[07:11] (Flashback) Toji
    It weighs half as much as the
    chromoly frame you've been riding.
[07:15] Sakamichi
    Half?
[07:17] (Flashback) Miki
    Even I can lift it easily.
[07:20] (Flashback) Toji
    Weight is key for climbers.
[07:23] (Flashback) Toji
    Take the next step forward, Onoda.
[07:26] Sakamichi
    Forward...
[07:28] (Flashback) Toji
    That bike will be able to meet your needs.
[07:33] Sakamichi
    What is this?
[07:34] Sakamichi
    It's so light.
[07:37] Sakamichi
    I feel like I'm floating
    three centimeters above the ground.
[07:39] Sakamichi
    It's so fast.
[07:42] (Flashback) Toji
    This bike moves easily, far, and quickly.
[07:46] (Flashback) Toji
    You can really pedal when you need to.
[07:48] (Flashback) Toji
    It's the right bike for you.
[07:50] Sakamichi
    The pedals really do turn fast.
[07:53] Sakamichi
    I might even be able to pedal faster
    than I did at the Inter-High.
[08:01] Sakamichi
    Imaizumi-kun! Naruko-kun!
[08:04] Imaizumi
    Onoda!
[08:04] Naruko
    Onoda-kun!
[08:06] Naruko
    What's your new weapon?
[08:08] Sakamichi
    Kanzaki-san just gave it to me.
[08:11] Naruko
    A yellow carbon frame, huh?
[08:14] Naruko
    Pretty flashy and cool.
[08:17] Imaizumi
    How's the new bike?
[08:19] Sakamichi
    G-Good!
[08:21] Sakamichi
    Since the way you ride heavy bikes is
    different from how you ride light bikes,
[08:24] Sakamichi
    it'll take some getting used to.
[08:26] Sakamichi
    But Kanzaki-san said once I get used
    to it, I'll be dramatically faster.
[08:33] Naruko
    Hotshot's got a new frame and electric
    components, and Onoda-kun's got a new bike?
[08:39] Naruko
    Looks like we had the same idea.
[08:44] Sakamichi
    What?
[08:47] Sakamichi
    What is this sound? Is that the wind?
[08:49] Sakamichi
    They're thick and huge. What are those?
[08:52] Naruko
    On hills, the lightness of
    your wheels is important.
[08:55] Naruko
    I think Makishima-san said that.
[08:59] Naruko
    On flats, your wheel's wind
    resistance is important.
[09:02] Naruko
    They negate the wind blowing toward
    you and convert it into thrust.
[09:06] Naruko
    These are the ultimate wheels for sprinters...
[09:09] Naruko
    Carbon deep-rimmed wheels!
[09:11] Sakamichi
    Amazing.
[09:14] Imaizumi
    Why don't the three of us
    go for a shakedown ride, then?
[09:17] Imaizumi
    Try to keep up, Naruko.
[09:19] Naruko
    Shut up. I'll be leading the group.
[09:21] Naruko
    I'll show you just how fast my new weapon is.
[09:26] Naruko
    Ready, and...

    Wait!

[09:52] Makishima
    Yeah, bye.

[11:26] Naruko
    What do you want, old man?
[11:28] Naruko
    I'm not slacking off just
    because it's summer break.
[11:31] Naruko
    What? I'm training with hotshot right now.
[11:36] Naruko
    Huh? Onoda-kun's off training by himself.
[11:38] Naruko
    What?
[11:40] Naruko
    Makishima-san is?
[11:42] Naruko
    Yeah, I heard he was going to college.
[11:45] Naruko
    But why's he going overseas?
[11:48] Tadokoro
    His brother's living in England by himself.
[11:53] Tadokoro
    He's going to help him
    while living abroad there.
[11:57] Naruko
    No one told me anything about that!
[11:58] Tadokoro
    No one told me, either.
[12:00] Tadokoro
    We just heard the news, too.
[12:03] Tadokoro
    Their school year starts
    in September over there.
[12:05] Naruko
    September? You mean this September?
[12:08] Tadokoro
    Yeah.
[12:09] Tadokoro
    I did think he was spending a lot of time
    in the library since the Inter-High ended.
[12:13] Tadokoro
    Apparently, he was finishing all
    his credits here ahead of schedule
[12:17] Tadokoro
    so he could go to college there.
[12:19] Naruko
    What?
[12:20] Naruko
    Are you serious?
[12:22] Naruko
    What about the race to send
    off the third-years, then?
[12:26] Naruko
    What about his bike?
[12:35] Sakamichi
    Makishima-san!
[12:37] Sakamichi
    Are you on your way to practice now?
[12:44] Makishima
    That bike seems to be working out well.
[12:47] Makishima
    It's a good fit for you.
[12:49] Sakamichi
    Oh, I'm not nearly good enough for it yet.
[12:53] Sakamichi
    I haven't tapped into my full potential yet.
[12:56] Sakamichi
    I still have old habits to shake.
[13:00] Makishima
    Imagine sliding your feet forward when your
    toes are applying torque to the crank.
[13:06] Makishima
    You'll move farther on a
    lighter frame that way.
[13:10] Sakamichi
    Slide my feet?
[13:14] Sakamichi
    Oh, I see.
[13:15] Sakamichi
    Thank you. I'll give it a try.
[13:27] Makishima
    Onoda, I'm on my way up Minegayama.
[13:32] Makishima
    Want to join me?
[13:40] Sakamichi
    I just came back from Minegayama.
[13:43] Sakamichi
    Would it be all right
    if we rode another time?
[13:50] Makishima
    Yeah.
[14:06] Sakamichi
    Actually, can I come with you after all?
[14:10] Sakamichi
    I got a strange feeling in my chest.
[14:14] Sakamichi
    Let's go up Minegayama together.
[14:17] Makishima
    This kid...
[14:19] Makishima
    I can't tell if he's slow or sharp.
[14:22] Makishima
    Yeah, let's go!
[14:32] Makishima
    You've gotten faster.
[14:37] Sakamichi
    Yeah. Um, Makishima-san, you're cool, too.
[14:44] Makishima
    "Scary" is good enough for me.
[14:47] Makishima
    Sakamichi!
[14:48] Sakamichi
    Yes, sir!
[14:52] Makishima
    Hey, Sakamichi!
[14:54] Sakamichi
    Yes, sir!
[15:01] Makishima
    Do you enjoy riding your bike?
[15:05] Sakamichi
    Yes!
[15:15] Sakamichi
    Lately, I've been talking with Naruko-kun
    and Imaizumi-kun about how we'll
[15:19] Sakamichi
    "surpass the third-years
    by the time they graduate."
[15:24] Makishima
    That sounded just like him.
[15:25] Sakamichi
    What? Really?
[15:27] Sakamichi
    You beat me again at the end today,
[15:29] Sakamichi
    but I'm hoping to get stronger
    by the time you graduate.
[15:34] Sakamichi
    At least, I hope I do.
[15:38] Sakamichi
    Will you race me again then?
[15:46] Makishima
    I'm always riding with you.
[15:49] Makishima
    When you think of it that way,
    we can race anytime.
[15:53] Makishima
    On zigzagging climbs, on straight
    roads that stretch on forever,
[15:59] Makishima
    on overgrown country roads...
[16:02] Makishima
    Next year and the year after,
    I'll always be riding in front of you.
[16:09] Makishima
    So pass me.
[16:11] Makishima
    Become stronger.
[16:19] Makishima
    We're counting on you to
    carry our Sohoku, Sakamichi.
[16:24] Sakamichi
    Makishima-san...
[16:32] Kinjou
    I'm happy to have served as your captain.
[16:37] Kinjou
    You endured hard practices
    and rode well at races.
[16:42] Kinjou
    I'm truly grateful to all of you.
[16:45] Kinjou
    Thank you.
[16:47] Imaizumi
    It was nothing.
[16:48] Naruko
    Same goes to you, Captain.
[16:50] All
    Thank you!
[16:54] Tadokoro
    We really are blessed.
[16:57] Tadokoro
    I had an awesome time.
[16:59] Kinjou
    Teshima...
[17:00] Teshima
    Yes, sir.
[17:02] Kinjou
    You're the next captain of the
    Sohoku Bicycle Racing Club.
[17:06] Kinjou
    Second-year, Teshima Junta!
[17:08] Teshima
    Yes, sir!
[17:09] Kinjou
    Aoyagi Hajime!
[17:11] Aoyagi
    Yes, sir.
[17:11] Kinjou
    You're the vice-captain.
[17:13] Aoyagi
    Yes, sir.
[17:14] Tadokoro
    The rest is up to you guys.
[17:17] Kinjou
    Ride.
[17:19] Kinjou
    Fight for every second.
[17:21] Kinjou
    Next year's Inter-High has already begun.
[17:24] All
    Yes, sir!
[17:29] Teshima
    Sohoku won. We beat reigning
    champions, Hakone Academy.
[17:34] Teshima
    And at the same time, we became burdened...
[17:37] Teshima
    ...with the weight, responsibility,
    and pressure of being the winning team
[17:40] Teshima
    of the Inter-High.
[17:43] Teshima
    At the next Inter-High—no,
[17:45] Teshima
    starting with our next race,
    the other teams will be gunning for us.
[17:50] Teshima
    We must leap past them and win again.
[17:53] Teshima
    No matter the circumstances.
[17:57] Teshima
    After all, at the next Inter-High,
    we'll be riding with single-digit tags...
[18:04] Teshima
    Because we are the champions.
[18:10] Teshima
    Come. Let me see how much stronger
    you became during the Inter-High.
[18:14] Imaizumi
    Let me see?
[18:16] Naruko
    Interesting. Does this
    mean a race, perm guy?
[18:19] Teshima
    Didn't you hear me?
[18:20] Teshima
    That's what I said.
[18:22] Teshima
    To the traffic signal at the
    end of this 15-kilometer flat.
[18:26] Teshima
    Let's race!
[18:29] Naruko
    He accelerated.
[18:30] Naruko
    Is he trying to pull ahead here?
[18:32] Imaizumi
    No, Teshima-san is a strategist.
[18:34] Imaizumi
    He could be plotting to make us wear
    out our legs by chasing after him.
[18:45] Naruko
    The quiet one jumped ahead.
[18:47] Naruko
    Their switch was ultra smooth.
[18:49] Naruko
    Their teamwork is still going strong.
[18:51] Naruko
    No...
[18:52] Imaizumi
    Naruko!
[18:53] Naruko
    Yeah!
[18:54] Imaizumi
    They're trying to pull ahead
    of us with brute force!
[18:59] Imaizumi
    They knew we'd expect them to
    strategize since they're not strong,
[19:02] Imaizumi
    so they did the opposite.
[19:05] Imaizumi
    Let's accelerate at full speed!
[19:07] Naruko
    I know!
[19:08] Naruko
    Can we close this gap?
[19:09] Imaizumi
    We will catch them!
[19:14] Naruko
    I must be stupid. I didn't notice.
[19:16] Naruko
    I didn't even pay any attention to it.
[19:17] Naruko
    Now that I get a closer look, their legs...
[19:21] Naruko
    Their legs are nothing like
    they were at the training camp!
[19:23] Naruko
    Those are the legs of someone
    who's practiced a ton!
[19:31] Tadokoro
    Will the first-years catch them?
[19:33] Kinjou
    I'm not so sure.
[19:35] Kinjou
    While they were looking
    toward the Inter-High,
[19:38] Kinjou
    Teshima and Aoyagi never stopped practicing.
[19:41] Kinjou
    And they've gotten stronger.
[19:45] Kinjou
    Especially Aoyagi.
[19:46] Kinjou
    His abilities as a sprinter are blossoming.
[19:53] Teshima
    Aoyagi...
[19:55] Teshima
    What percent are you at right now?
[19:56] Aoyagi
    70%.
[19:58] Teshima
    Then let's go to 100% for the last two
    kilometers and pull ahead of them.
[20:03] Aoyagi
    Got it.
[20:20] Teshima
    What's wrong, Naruko?
[20:21] Teshima
    Are those deep-rimmed wheels just for show?
[20:27] Teshima
    Imaizumi, don't think
    you'll be the ace forever.
[20:32] Teshima
    You're not strong enough yet.
[20:34] Teshima

    Yes, sir!

    Looks like the second-years won.
[20:47] Tadokoro
    Check it out. They look frustrated.
[20:51] Kinjou
    Thinking they were better
[20:53] Kinjou
    for even a moment let their biggest
    chance slip away from them.
[20:57] Kinjou
    That's part of road racing, too.
[21:00] Tadokoro
    But...
[21:02] Tadokoro
    I'm most worried about him.
[21:05] Tadokoro

    I can't catch up. I can't catch up...

[02:57] Naruko
    Onoda-kun, you've been falling a lot lately.
[03:00] Naruko
    Are you sure you're not being overeager?
[03:02] Teshima
    Are you hurt?
[03:03] Sakamichi
    N-No, I'm fine.
[03:06] Imaizumi
    You're always diving into the grass.
[03:09] Imaizumi
    Are you still not used to your bike?
[03:14] Sakamichi
    Y-Yeah, that's it.
[03:15] Sakamichi
    Riding a new bike sure is hard.
[03:18] Sakamichi
    It's too light, and the brakes work too well.
[03:24] Naruko
    Can I refill my water bottle at
    the vending machine up ahead?
[03:27] Imaizumi
    Yeah, same.
[03:32] Sakamichi
    Teshima-san...
[03:34] Teshima
    Is this about Makishima-san?
[03:36] Sakamichi
    Huh?
[03:38] (Flashback) Kinjou
    Makishima is quitting the team today.
[03:43] Sakamichi
    N-No...
[03:45] Teshima
    Really? That's fine, then.
[03:47] Teshima
    It's dangerous to practice
    while lost in thought.
[03:50] Teshima
    Be careful.
[03:52] Sakamichi
    Yes, sir.
[03:53] Teshima
    Now that Makishima-san is gone,
    you're Sohoku's only climber.
[04:03] Naruko
    Shall we sprint to the top, like usual?
[04:07] All
    Yeah!
[04:09] Naruko
    It's just a 200 meter slope.
[04:11] Naruko
    That's short enough to sprint up.
[04:14] Imaizumi
    Don't push yourself too hard.
[04:16] Sakamichi
    A slope? Climbing?
[04:19] Sakamichi
    That's right. I...
[04:22] Sakamichi
    I have to work harder.
[04:32] Sakamichi
    My power...
[04:34] Sakamichi
    It's no use. I can't get any power.
[04:46] Teshima
    Onoda...
[04:49] Sakamichi
    Sorry, Teshima-san! Er, Captain!
[04:52] Sakamichi
    You must be here to ask me what I'm
    doing when I'm supposed to be a climber.
[04:56] Sakamichi
    I... I'll get my head back
    on straight and climb!
[05:00] Teshima
    No, it's fine. Let's take it slow.
[05:02] Sakamichi
    Huh?
[05:04] Teshima
    The weather's nice.
[05:07] Teshima
    Does it hurt, Onoda?
[05:09] Teshima
    Despite how he looked,
    Makishima-san was a nice guy.
[05:14] Teshima
    When we were first-years...
[05:16] (Flashback) Makishima
    You want me to give you tips on climbing?
[05:20] (Flashback) Makishima
    Well...
[05:23] (Flashback) Makishima
    Swing your bike back and forth really hard.
[05:27] (Flashback) Tadokoro
    You're the only one who can do that!
[05:29] (Flashback) Makishima
    Oh, really?
[05:32] Teshima
    He was always kind.
[05:35] Sakamichi
    I still...
[05:37] Sakamichi
    I still had a lot to learn!
[05:41] Sakamichi
    So why...
[05:44] Teshima
    If you're hurting, you can rest.
[05:47] Teshima
    Forcing yourself to practice
    now won't help you.
[05:50] Teshima
    Remember what he said.
[05:51] Teshima
    When you aim for the top,
    you learn where you stand.
[05:55] Teshima
    Choosing your course of action based
    on how others see you or think of you
[05:59] Teshima
    won't get you anywhere.
[06:03] Teshima
    I'm weak.
[06:05] Teshima
    Naruko and Imaizumi are strong.
[06:07] Teshima
    They fought as equals alongside the
    third-years during the Inter-High.
[06:11] Teshima
    Aoyagi and I still don't stand a
    chance against them in sprints.
[06:14] Teshima
    Even though I'm the captain,
    I'm the weakest one.
[06:17] Teshima
    I'm not strong mentally, either.
[06:19] Teshima
    But I know that.
[06:23] Teshima
    What I need to do is make up for
    those weaknesses little by little.
[06:27] Teshima
    That's where I'll find my breakthrough.
[06:29] Teshima
    That's what I believe.
[06:31] Teshima
    You can rest. You can worry, Onoda.
[06:35] Teshima
    Even that can be a way to move forward.
[06:38] Teshima
    Believe in yourself. You'll find the light.
[06:42] Teshima

    his soul to you, too?

    Yeah.

[07:06] Toudou
    My friend's embarking on a voyage.
[07:08] Toudou
    I thought I should congratulate you.
[07:10] Toudou
    Besides, you're alone, aren't you?
[07:11] Makishima
    Well, yeah.
[07:13] Makishima
    I told them to practice if
    they had time to see me off.
[07:19] Toudou
    We lost this year, but we'll
    win next year, Maki-chan.
[07:22] Toudou
    Even after I graduate,
[07:24] Toudou
    Hakone will have plenty of other strong
    climbers like Kuroda and Manami.
[07:30] Toudou
    You've only got Four-Eyes, right?
[07:33] Toudou
    No matter how strong he is,
    he can't win by himself.
[07:37] Makishima
    No, we've got climbers.
[07:41] Toudou
    Really? Are they strong?
[07:43] Toudou
    Do they have good instincts?
[07:48] Makishima
    Not at all.
[07:49] Toudou
    What?
[07:50] Makishima
    But maybe that's Sohoku's type.
[07:56] Makishima
    No talent and no instinct...
[07:59] Makishima
    So he climbs through sheer effort.
[08:10] Teshima
    Makishima-san said he could make this
    climb in six minutes at his fastest.
[08:17] Teshima
    He's a monster, but...
[08:21] Teshima
    I'll catch up to him, even if it's
    only by one second, one centimeter!
[08:26] (Flashback) Makishima
    Teshima, you're a climber.
[08:28] (Flashback) Teshima
    What?
[08:29] (Flashback) Makishima
    Tricks don't work on climbs.
[08:32] (Flashback) Makishima
    Unlike flats, you can't hide behind
    other riders to get out of the wind.
[08:38] (Flashback) Makishima
    Your weakness can't be overcome
    with knowledge or technique.
[08:45] (Flashback) Makishima
    So climb.
[08:48] Makishima
    Keep climbing until your legs stop moving.
[08:52] Teshima
    I'll do it.
[08:53] Teshima
    Even if it's impossible,
    I'll push myself to the limit.
[08:58] Teshima
    I can at least push myself
    as close as possible!
[09:02] Teshima
    I will become stronger!
[09:14] Teshima
    Yesterday my best time was eight minutes.
[09:19] Teshima
    Six minutes is still far away.

    Yeah.

    The team's strong, right?
    I heard you won nationals.
[09:33] Higashida
    That must be a lot of pressure.
[09:35] Teshima
    Every day I feel like puking.

    The first-years are so strong,
    I can't keep up.

    Unfortunately, we only made

    between being made to do something

    It was our last race.

    When I hear we lost by
    five or ten centimeters...
[17:19] Arakita
    In road racing, the difference
    between first and second
[17:21] Arakita
    is the difference between heaven and earth.
[17:23] Arakita
    On top of that, it was the Inter-High.
[17:25] Arakita
    That's on a whole different level.
[17:28] Arakita
    And that inexperienced little
    airhead didn't understand that.
[17:35] Fuku
    No, he gave everything he had.

    He understood how important it was and
    rode with the greatest strength he had.
[17:46] Fuku
    We lost because...
[17:49] Fuku
    No, because I was naïve in my predictions.
[17:56] Fuku
    Number 176, Sohoku first-year Onoda...
[18:00] Fuku
    A total amateur.
[18:02] Fuku
    Though his face didn't show a
    shred of competitive spirit,
[18:06] Fuku
    hidden inside him was a determined
    and indomitable spirit.
[18:12] Fuku
    And that was enough to beat Hakone
    Academy's greatest climber, Manami.
[18:18] Fuku
    Manami said he was dangerous,
    but I couldn't predict it.
[18:22] Fuku
    That was only natural.
[18:25] Fuku
    He was the unpredictable element that

    At the next Inter-High—no,
[19:35] (Flashback) Teshima
    starting with our next race,
    the other teams will be gunning for us.
[19:39] (Flashback) Teshima
    We must leap past them and win again.
[19:43] (Flashback) Teshima
    Because we are the champions.
[19:47] Sakamichi
    I'll win. I'll win.
[19:50] Sakamichi
    I have to win. I...
[19:55] Sakamichi
    What is winning?
[19:58] Sakamichi
    Pushing aside everyone here?
[20:02] Sakamichi
    Not losing to anyone else?
[20:05] Sakamichi
    I can't do it.
[20:06] Sakamichi
    I was able to ride in the Inter-High
    because the rest of the team was with me.
[20:11] Sakamichi
    I'm even weak during practice.
[20:13] Sakamichi
    My strength alone isn't enough.
[20:16] Teshima
    Onoda...
[20:19] Teshima
    Team Sohoku supports each other.
[20:23] Teshima
    Sounds like something
    Kinjou-san would say, right?
[20:26] Teshima
    We can take it slow. Don't try
    to do everything yourself, Onoda.
[20:32] Sakamichi
    Teshima-san...
[20:33] Imaizumi
    He's right.
[20:34] Imaizumi
    We wouldn't want you getting
    overeager and falling again.
[20:39] Sakamichi
    Imaizumi-kun?
[20:40] Imaizumi
    Don't get so nervous
    that you forget we're here.
[20:45] Teshima
    Just climb at your own pace.
[20:47] Teshima
    Even if you're late, we'll be
    waiting for you at the top.
[20:53] Sakamichi
    Okay.
[20:59] Shinkai
    Someone else will be
    participating in that race.
[21:04] Shinkai
    This year's Inter-High champion,
[21:06] (Flashback) Shinkai
    Onoda-kun.
[21:09] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    Onoda?
[21:10] (Flashback) Shinkai
    Ashikiba, experience what it's
    like to ride against him.
[21:14] (Flashback) Shinkai
    And if possible, beat him.
[21:17] Ashikiba
    He was near the front, so I
    didn't get a good look at him.
[21:22] Ashikiba
    Well, whatever.
[21:23] Ashikiba
    I'll see what he can do during the race.

[00:24] Ashikiba
    It's classical music.
[00:27] Ashikiba
    A thrilling symphony.
[00:29] Ashikiba
    I finally get to be in a race.
[00:37] Ashikiba
    Thank you, Shinkai-san, Fukutomi-san.
[00:42] Rider 1

[02:49] Girl 1
    He looked this way!
[02:50] Imaizumi
    What was that?
[02:52] Teshima
    Groupies, huh?
[02:53] Teshima
    Looks like you have more than before.
[02:56] Imaizumi
    Teshima-san!
[02:57] Teshima
    Their support makes us stronger.
[02:59] Imaizumi
    Yeah, but they're taking it too far.

    Harada-san, do you know him?
[03:41] Rider 1
    Is Hakone Academy trying to scope us out?
[03:44] Harada
    No.
[03:46] Harada
    He's here to win.
[03:51] Harada
    That's the kind of guy he is!
[03:56] Ashikiba
    Move!
[03:59] Ashikiba
    I have business at the front of the pack!
[04:03] Ashikiba
    I haven't raced in a while!
[04:06] Ashikiba
    I'm in an awesome mood!
[04:11] Rider 1
    He's so fast!
[04:12] Rider 2
    He passed us in a second!
[04:14] Harada
    He rhythmically moves his giant
    body back and forth while dancing.
[04:20] Harada
    Almost as if he's a metronome.
[04:26] Ashikiba
    The Ninth...
[04:28] Ashikiba
    Beethoven's Ninth Symphony.
[04:33] Ashikiba
    Also known as the Choral Symphony.
[04:35] Ashikiba
    I'm so clichéd. It's not
    even the end of the year.
[04:41] Ashikiba
    I'd been placed under house arrest indefinitely.
[04:45] Ashikiba
    But a race... now, I'm riding in a race!
[04:49] Ashikiba
    I will take first place.
[04:52] Ashikiba
    First place...
[04:56] Ashikiba
    ...is righteous!
[05:01] Imaizumi
    Teshima-san, there's something bothering me.
[05:05] Imaizumi
    There's a Hakone Academy second-year
    named Ashikiba riding in the race.
[05:09] Imaizumi
    I saw his name on the participant list.
[05:11] Sakamichi
    What? Hakone Academy?
[05:14] Teshima
    Seems that way.
[05:15] Imaizumi
    You're a second-year, too.
[05:17] Imaizumi
    Do you know him, Teshima-san?
[05:19] Teshima
    Yeah, I know him well.
[05:21] Teshima
    We used to ride on the same team.
[05:26] Ashikiba
    The symphony's playing inside my head.
[05:31] Ashikiba
    I don't know who said it,
    but someone called the way I ride...
[05:32] Rider 3
    He's so fast!
[05:36] Teshima
    He's coming.
[05:38] Ashikiba
    Metronome Dancing!
[05:41] Sakamichi
    Hakone Academy!
[05:43] Imaizumi
    So this is the second-year, Ashikiba.
[05:45] Imaizumi
    He's huge. He's bigger than me!
[05:50] Ashikiba
    I caught up, Sohoku High.
[05:55] Imaizumi
    He's not short of breath,
    even though he rode up from the back.
[05:59] Imaizumi
    And what's with his frame?
[06:03] Imaizumi
    Like shoes, frames are designed
    to match the size of your body.
[06:08] Imaizumi
    But no matter how large the frame gets,
    the size of the tires doesn't change.
[06:13] Imaizumi
    This guy's frame...
[06:16] Imaizumi
    I've never seen anything so huge.
[06:19] Imaizumi
    It makes his tires look smaller.
[06:22] Imaizumi
    It's like he's riding a small-wheeled bike.
[06:26] Ashikiba
    So you're Onoda.
[06:31] Sakamichi
    Yes.
[06:36] Ashikiba
    So you're Onoda.
[06:38] Both
    He corrected himself!
[06:40] Ashikiba
    I've heard about you.
[06:42] Ashikiba
    You'll race up any hill with
    your extraordinary cadence.
[06:47] Sakamichi
    And he's pretending he didn't!
[06:48] Ashikiba
    And you're another first-year...
[06:51] Imaizumi
    Yeah.
[06:52] Ashikiba
    The red bean, Naruko.
[06:56] Sakamichi
    He got it wrong with that
    smug look on his face!
[06:58] Ashikiba
    I've heard about you.
[07:00] Imaizumi
    There's nothing red about me...
[07:00] Ashikiba
    By climbing with your exceptional
    grit and sprinter's legs,
[07:02] Imaizumi
    Can't he tell by looking?
[07:04] Ashikiba
    you caught up to Hakone Academy.
[07:04] Sakamichi
    Imaizumi-kun doesn't seem
    like a bean to me.
[07:06] Ashikiba
    Then you dropped out of the
    race in heroic fashion.
[07:08] Imaizumi
    It's hard to call him out since he's older.
[07:10] Imaizumi
    Maybe this guy's just an airhead?
[07:12] Sakamichi
    I kind of feel bad for him.
[07:15] Imaizumi
    Um, can I offer a correction?
[07:19] Ashikiba
    Huh? Yeah, go ahead.
[07:21] Ashikiba
    No, wait.
[07:23] Ashikiba
    I haven't said anything
    that needs correcting.
[07:26] Sakamichi
    What?
[07:27] Imaizumi
    I can't tell him now!
[07:29] Imaizumi
    Sohoku has another first-year.
[07:32] Sakamichi
    Imaizumi-kun's starting to get mad.
[07:35] Ashikiba
    I know.
[07:37] Ashikiba
    Don't underestimate Hakone
    Academy's information network.
[07:39] Imaizumi
    It's me.
[07:41] Ashikiba
    The silky-haired Sugimoto Terufumi.
[07:44] Imaizumi
    That's right, Sugimoto Teru...
[07:47] Sugimoto
    Hello!
[07:50] Imaizumi
    I worked pretty hard at the Inter-High...
[07:53] Imaizumi
    This is a real shock.
[07:55] Ashikiba
    Did Sohoku not bring all their members?
[07:59] Teshima
    Ashikiba!
[08:02] Teshima
    How have you been?
[08:05] Ashikiba
    Good.
[08:07] Teshima
    Are you still playing the piano?
[08:10] Ashikiba
    Sometimes.
[08:12] Teshima
    I heard you joined Hakone Academy.
[08:15] Ashikiba
    I passed their exam.
[08:18] Teshima
    We used to ride together a lot.
[08:21] Ashikiba
    Yeah.
[08:23] Ashikiba
    Jun-chan...
[08:25] Teshima
    Shikiba...
[08:33] (Flashback) Teshima
    Shikiba, that's amazing.
[08:35] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    Since my fingers are so long,
    they said I'd be good at the piano.
[08:39] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    I can play J-Pop songs, too, like Hira Ken.
[08:41] (Flashback) Teshima
    Seriously?
[08:52] (Flashback) Teshima
    Do you know what a road bike is?
[08:54] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    Yeah, those thin ones.
[08:58] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    Wow.
[09:01] (Flashback) Teshima
    I wanted to try it out after watching a DVD.
[09:06] (Flashback) Teshima
    Shikiba, want to join me?
[09:08] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    It's so cool.
[09:10] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    It's like an instrument.
[09:13] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    It's so thin and shiny.
[09:15] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    There's nothing unnecessary on it.
[09:19] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    I wonder if it makes a nice sound.
[09:22] (Flashback) Teshima
    The ratchets on the wheels will
    send shivers down your spine.
[09:28] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    This sound, this energy...
[09:31] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    This vibration!
[09:32] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    This is amazing.
[09:33] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    It truly is an instrument!
[09:37] (Flashback) Teshima
    I'm thinking about doing
    this pretty seriously.
[09:42] (Flashback) Teshima
    I'm going to race internationally.
[09:44] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    Internationally?
[09:47] (Flashback) Teshima
    Just kidding.
[09:48] (Flashback) Teshima
    Are you gonna laugh because
     I'm dreaming too big?
[09:52] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    Of course not.
[09:53] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    That's amazing. It's cool.
[09:56] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    You have my support.
[10:00] (Flashback) Teshima
    Let's ride!
[10:02] (Flashback) Teshima
    I'll become the best in the world!
[10:05] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    Jun-chan!
[10:07] (Flashback) Teshima
    Let's become the best together.
[10:09] (Flashback) Teshima
    You'll be right there with me.
[10:14] Ashikiba
    Jun-chan...
[10:15] Teshima
    Shikiba.
[10:18] Teshima
    Honestly, I was shaken when
    I saw the participant list...
[10:22] Teshima
    When I learned you were
    on Hakone Academy's team.
[10:26] Ashikiba
    When I heard you became
    the captain of Sohoku,
[10:32] Ashikiba
    I thought you were worthy of the position.
[10:35] Ashikiba
    I knew you were good enough to do it.
[10:44] Teshima
    Do you remember how I told you
    we'd become champions together?
[10:48] Ashikiba
    Yeah, of course.
[10:50] Teshima
    But I'm the captain of Sohoku now.
[10:55] Teshima
    In other words, their pillar.
[10:56] Teshima
    Now I have to fight against you
    and Hakone Academy, Ashikiba!
[11:03] Ashikiba
    Same here...
[11:06] Ashikiba
    Since I'm Hakone Academy's next ace.
[11:10] Imaizumi
    Their next ace?
[11:17] Imaizumi
    Hakone Academy second-year Ashikiba...
[11:20] Imaizumi
    This guy will be their ace next year?
[11:26] Imaizumi
    Since he's so tall, the distance from his hip joint
    to his knees is exceptionally long.
[11:31] Imaizumi
    Every time he turns the pedals,
    I can hear the wind whistle.
[11:34] Imaizumi
    No, wait! It wasn't making
    that sound a minute ago.
[11:36] Imaizumi
    Which means he's started
    pedaling at full power.
[11:43] Sakamichi
    There's so much pressure.
[11:46] Teshima
    Shikiba...
[11:47] Ashikiba
    Jun-chan...
[11:49] Ashikiba
    Jun-chan, I don't want to
    crush the team you made.
[11:53] Ashikiba
    I wish I could join it instead.
[11:56] Ashikiba
    But I owe the seniors of Hakone Academy...
[12:01] Ashikiba
    I told them I would win this race!
[12:05] Sakamichi
    How is he dancing like that?
[12:07] Sakamichi
    His body's swaying back and forth!
[12:08] Imaizumi
    He's accelerating so quickly!
[12:10] Imaizumi
    In just a single step, too!
[12:18] Tadokoro
    Thanks for the ride.
[12:20] Naruko
    Old man, your elbows and ass are in the way!
[12:23] Tadokoro
    What are you complaining about?
[12:25] Tadokoro
    Look at Aoyagi.
[12:26] Tadokoro
    He's sitting quietly, without saying a word.
[12:29] Naruko
    He never says anything!
[12:31] Sugimoto
    I'm sitting quietly, too.
[12:34] Naruko
    You're just too big!
[12:34] Driver
    You boys sure make a lot of noise.
[12:35] Tadokoro
    Shut up! You're just...
[12:37] Kinjou
    Teshima...
[12:39] Kinjou
    It's hard to imagine Hakone Academy would send
     someone just to scope out the competition.
[12:44] Kinjou
    They'll be going for the win.
[12:45] Kinjou
    Expect them to challenge us.
[12:48] Kinjou
    Onoda's not doing well.
[12:50] Kinjou
    He switched to a new bike, but he's
    still only drawing out 30% of his power.
[12:56] Kinjou
    Probably because of Makishima.
[13:01] Kinjou
    As a fellow climber, he provided
    moral support, and he quit the club early.
[13:06] Kinjou
    But regretting that forever
    won't change anything.
[13:09] Kinjou
    He has to move forward despite it.
    That's part of road racing.
[13:14] Kinjou
    If you don't move forward,
    you'll be left behind.
[13:17] Driver
    Kinjou-kun,
[13:19] Driver
    as their former captain, which of the
    Sohoku members do you think will win?
[13:23] Driver
    Will it be Onoda-kun again?
[13:25] Driver
    Or Imaizumi-kun?
[13:26] Kinjou
    I don't know.
[13:29] Kinjou
    Personally speaking,
[13:31] Kinjou
    I think the Hakone Academy second-year
    on the participant list could win.
[13:39] Kinjou
    I think this race could determine the
    future of Sohoku's new generation.
[13:45] Sugimoto
    But we're the champions.
[13:48] Sugimoto
    Champions would never...
[13:56] Rider 4
    Damn it.
[13:57] Rider 4
    I ran from the pack to try to win,
     but someone's catching up.
[14:01] Rider 4
    And he's huge!
[14:03] Rider 4
    There's someone right behind him.
[14:05] Rider 4
    It's Sohoku.
[14:06] Rider 4
    Their captain, Teshima!
[14:08] Teshima
    Ashikiba!
[14:10] Imaizumi
    Teshima-san is fast!
[14:12] Imaizumi
    We couldn't even respond, but he reacted
    instantly and kept up with him.
[14:18] Imaizumi
    The Teshima-san I know would've already...
[14:21] Imaizumi
    What is this?
[14:23] Imaizumi
    He's nothing like he was
    at the training camp.
[14:26] Imaizumi
    Has he always been this fast?
[14:43] Ashikiba
    Jun-chan!
[14:44] Teshima
    Shikiba!
[14:45] Teshima
    We're the champions!
[14:47] Teshima
    We won't let you take the Minegayama title!
[14:49] Ashikiba
    You really are amazing, Jun-chan!
[14:53] Ashikiba
    The seniors who scoped out
     the CSC training camp
[14:56] Ashikiba
    said second-year Teshima was nothing special.
[15:00] Ashikiba
    I couldn't tell them, but I
    didn't think that was possible.
[15:04] Ashikiba
    I'll make them revise their evaluation later.
[15:07] Ashikiba
    Are you ready to go?
[15:10] Ashikiba
    There's only four kilometers left.
SIGN    Distance to Finish Line
[15:14] Ashikiba
    We used to climb together a lot and
    get frustrated when we had to stop.
SIGN    Ahead
[15:20] Ashikiba
    On Minegayama's iconic...
[15:23] Ashikiba
    Kabesaka!
[15:27] Ashikiba
    Amazing.
[15:28] Ashikiba
    I can hear Beethoven's Fifth
    playing inside my head!
[15:38] Teshima
    Ashikiba's good.
[15:41] Teshima
    He's gotten way better since middle school.
[15:45] Teshima
    He's certainly on the level of an ace.
[15:47] Teshima
    He could still go harder.
[15:49] Teshima
    But I'm Sohoku's captain!
[15:53] Teshima
    I can't let him pull away!
[16:02] Imaizumi
    Naruko lost speed on this hill
    during the first-year race.
[16:07] Imaizumi
    Why do I feel so hot?
[16:11] Imaizumi
    Just how hard did he work?
[16:15] Imaizumi
    The way Teshima-san is riding is enchanting.
[16:21] Sakamichi
    T-Teshima-san is amazing.
[16:25] Imaizumi
    Onoda...
[16:26] Sakamichi
    He's amazing.
[16:29] Sakamichi
    Amazing!
[16:31] Teshima
    Ashikiba, you always overestimate me.
[16:37] Teshima
    "You're amazing, Jun-chan. You're worthy."
[16:41] Teshima
    It makes me happy to hear that,
    but it's just not true.
[16:44] Teshima
    I'm weak.
[16:45] Teshima
    I'm clinging to my handlebars,
    hanging onto legs that feel like
[16:50] Teshima
    they're about to stop, and my heart's
    beating out of my chest.
[16:55] Teshima
    Honestly, I'm not on your level.
[16:58] Teshima
    But Ashikiba, I won't lose!
[17:01] Teshima
    Because I'm...
[17:03] Teshima
    The captain of Sohoku!
[17:06] Imaizumi
    Two kilometers left!
[17:09] Ashikiba
    Beethoven's Fifth won't stop playing!
[17:18] Teshima
    Metronome Dancing! This is it!
[17:22] Teshima
    Did I reach my limit?
[17:25] Teshima
    Keep fighting, Junta!
[17:26] Teshima
    You're here because Makishima-san
    told you to climb!
[17:39] Teshima
    Shikiba!
[17:41] Tadokoro
    He caught up!
[17:44] Ashikiba
    You caught up again.
[17:46] Ashikiba
    Jun-chan, you really are amazing.
[17:48] Naruko
    That Hakone Academy guy is huge!
[17:50] Naruko
    I've never seen him before!
[17:51] Naruko
    Who is he?
[17:53] Aoyagi
    Classmates?
[17:54] (Flashback) Teshima
    Yeah, from middle school.
[17:57] (Flashback) Teshima
    He's tall and kind.
[18:01] (Flashback) Teshima
    He's always complimenting other people.
[18:04] (Flashback) Teshima
    We used to ride together a lot.
[18:07] (Flashback) Teshima
    I've never told you about him before.
[18:10] (Flashback) Aoyagi
    Your teammate, then?
[18:12] (Flashback) Teshima
    We promised to become champions together.
[18:15] (Flashback) Teshima
    But...
[18:19] (Flashback) Teshima
    Unfortunately, today he's my opponent.
[18:22] Aoyagi
    A battle against a friend...
[18:24] Aoyagi
    He's steeled his resolve as the new captain.
[18:29] Aoyagi
    But I can tell...
[18:31] Aoyagi
    Junta's approaching his limit.
[18:51] Tadokoro
    He's still hanging on.
[18:53] Naruko
    Perm head!
[18:54] Tadokoro
    1.5 kilometers left.
[18:57] Naruko
    Sorry, Teshima-san.
[18:59] Naruko
    Honestly, I didn't think much of you.
[19:04] Naruko
    Look at this, old man.
[19:06] Naruko
    The gutsy way he's riding
    is making my hands shake.
[19:10] Tadokoro
    Of course it is.
[19:11] Tadokoro
    I'm the one who trained Teshima and Aoyagi.
[19:14] Naruko
    You didn't teach them how to climb.
[19:18] Tadokoro
    He might just make it to
    the finish line like this.
[19:21] Kinjou
    He can't.
[19:23] Kinjou
    Like Makishima said, Teshima has
    no talent or instinct for climbing.
[19:28] Kinjou
    When it comes to climbing, he's mediocre.
[19:31] Kinjou
    And mediocre riders have their limits.
[19:33] Naruko
    Why would you say that, Kinjou-san?
[19:36] Naruko
    Did he not impress you?
[19:38] Naruko
    You should be cheering him on!
[19:40] Tadokoro
    Naruko...
[19:41] Naruko
    Are you saying Sohoku's going to lose
    to that lanky Hakone Academy guy?
[19:45] Kinjou
    No, not necessarily.
[19:50] Kinjou
    Teshima's riding is affecting them
    the same way it affected you.
[19:56] Kinjou
    More than we ever did.
[20:00] Kinjou
    The two riding behind Teshima are
    feeling his passionate vibrations.
[20:07] Imaizumi
    I'm shaking. I'm on fire.
[20:10] Imaizumi
    How can he ride like that?
[20:12] Imaizumi
    How can he keep up?
[20:14] Sakamichi
    Imaizumi-kun...
[20:16] Sakamichi
    I want to ride all out and
    catch up to Teshima-san!
[20:25] Imaizumi
    Onoda!
[20:26] Teshima
    Imaizumi...
[20:28] (Flashback) Teshima
    If... If Onoda says he wants
    to attack during the race...
[20:34] (Flashback) Teshima
    gently push him forward.
[20:38] Sakamichi
    Imaizumi-kun!
[20:41] Imaizumi
    There's no need to hold back.
[20:44] Imaizumi
    Teshima-san will accept you with open arms.
[20:48] Imaizumi
    If you want to catch up to him,
    charge straight ahead...
[20:54] Imaizumi
    Onoda Sakamichi!
[20:57] Sakamichi
    Got it!
[21:02] Naruko
    Onoda-kun's going for it!
[21:03] Tadokoro
    He's trying to catch up.
[21:05] Naruko
    Hotshot sent Onoda-kun off.
[21:08] Kinjou
    Teshima's an average rider.
[21:11] Kinjou
    But that's why he moves
    the people around him.
[21:15] Kinjou
    And those vibrations become their strength.
[21:17] Kinjou
    That power is transmitted to his teammates.
[21:23] Kinjou
    Teshima, is that how you captain your team?
[21:27] Sakamichi
    Teshima-san!
[21:32] Teshima
    Onoda!
[21:35] Kinjou
    Don't worry, Naruko.
[21:37] Kinjou
    The race isn't over yet.
[23:15] Girl 3
    You're so cute!
[23:17] Sakamichi
    Huh? What?
[23:18] Sakamichi
    Thanks!
[23:22] Imaizumi
    Teshima-san, I think you're, uh...
[23:26] Imaizumi
    I think you're handsome.
[23:28] Teshima
    Really?
[23:30] Teshima
    Imaizumi, I'll call you "Elite"
    for the rest of the week.

    You can do it!

[02:15] Ashikiba
    A race...
[02:17] Ashikiba
    I'm finally racing again.
[02:19] Shinkai
    If possible, beat him.
[02:23] Ashikiba
    I'll win, Shinkai-san, Fukutomi-san.
[02:30] Teshima
    I'm glad you came.
[02:32] Teshima
    I'm glad you came, Onoda.
[02:34] Sakamichi
    Uh, wh-while I was watching you ride,
    my body got so hot.
[02:40] Sakamichi
    My legs wouldn't stop pumping.
[02:41] Teshima
    I'm happy to hear that.
    I'll note that in my journal.
[02:46] Teshima
    How are you feeling? Better?
[02:49] Teshima
    How's your body? And your new bike?
[02:53] Teshima
    Can you go after him?
[02:56] Sakamichi
    Yes, sir.
[02:57] Sakamichi
    He seems strong. He's big and fast.
[03:00] Sakamichi
    But I think I can do it.
[03:02] Teshima
    He's fast?
[03:04] Teshima
    Is he faster than Makishima-san?
[03:20] Sakamichi
    No, absolutely not.
[03:22] Sakamichi
    After all, Makishima-san is the fastest
    and coolest climber in the world!
[03:28] Teshima
    Then go prove it by beating him!
[03:32] Sakamichi
    Yes, sir!
[03:48] Sakamichi
    Makishima-san is...
[03:49] Ashikiba
    Makishima? Who is that?
[03:52] Sakamichi
    Makishima-san is way, way...

    Faster!

    Yeah!
[04:07] Announce
    Goal!
[04:09] Announce
    Just as expected, the first man
    to finish is Sohoku High's Onoda!
[04:13] Fan
    He's incredible!
[04:16] Sakamichi
    I said "yeah" like Makishima-san
    without thinking.
[04:19] Announce
    Second place is Hakone Academy's Ashikiba!
[04:23] Ashikiba
    I see. I understand now, Shinkai-san.
[04:27] Ashikiba
    This is Sohoku.
[04:29] Ashikiba
    They certainly are strong.
[04:36] Teshima
    Onoda, good job. You did great.
[04:39] Sakamichi
    Yes, sir.
[04:41] Teshima
    I'm not good enough.
[04:46] Teshima
    I gave too much.
[04:48] Teshima
    Crap. That was lame.

    I was waiting at the station with the coach,
    but you never got off the train.
[06:43] Hakogaku
    Please keep your phone on.
[06:47] Ashikiba
    It was out of battery, so I left it.
[06:49] Hakogaku
    You left it? At home?

    You should keep your cell phone on you.
[06:57] Ashikiba
    Keep my phone on me?

    That's a good one.

    Were the Chiba guys scared?

[07:19] Fukutomi
    Did you win the race?
[07:23] Ashikiba
    Fukutomi-san...
[07:26] Ashikiba
    Yes, sir.
[07:28] Ashikiba
    I was in all right shape.
[07:31] Ashikiba
    There was classical music
    playing inside my head.
[07:33] Ashikiba
    I tend to do well when that happens,
    so I was convinced I could win.
[07:40] Ashikiba
    Sohoku's first-year, Onoda,
    caught up to me in the last kilometer,
[07:44] Ashikiba
    so I counterattacked and
    rode as hard as I could.

    The race played into my specialty, but...
[07:54] Ashikiba
    In the end, he passed me.
[08:01] Ashikiba
    I didn't win.

    I'm sorry, Fukutomi-san.

    Could you take these?
[08:16] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    Sure. Just leave them right there.
[08:20] (Flashback) Hakogaku B
    He's "the best," right?
[08:24] (Flashback) Hakogaku A
    You're slow, Ashikiba!
[08:25] (Flashback) Hakogaku A
    Stop wobbling!
[08:26] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    Yes, sir.
[08:29] (Flashback) Hakogaku A
    You're too big.
[08:31] (Flashback) Hakogaku A
    You wobble so much because your
    center of gravity is high.
[08:33] (Flashback) Hakogaku B
    Honestly, you may not be
    cut out for bike racing.
[08:39] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    Yes, sir.
[08:43] Ashikiba
    They're right.
[08:46] Ashikiba
    I could ride a bike in middle school,
    but I was ten centimeters shorter then.
[08:52] Ashikiba
    It was so much fun.
[08:55] Ashikiba
    But now, even I feel like my
    body's heavy. I wobble too much.
[09:02] Ashikiba
    Why do I keep growing?
[09:05] Ashikiba
    I can't catch up to anyone during practice.

    Shinkai-san and Fukutomi-san...
[09:27] (Flashback) Shinkai
    The lights were on.
[09:30] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    Do you have laundry? I'll take care of it.
[09:32] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    Since I'm so big, I'm the
    best at doing laundry.
[09:37] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    I'm actually thinking about quitting the team
    and becoming a team manager instead.
[09:43] (Flashback) Fukutomi
    Ashikiba...

    is the one that leads forward.

    The best ri...

    Then raise your head and look
    upon the sights only you can see.
[10:14] (Flashback) Fukutomi
    Only you can see what you're
    looking at right now.
[10:18] (Flashback) Fukutomi
    You already have something others don't.
[10:22] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    But it's...
[10:23] (Flashback) Fukutomi
    A disadvantage? Who decided that?
[10:28] (Flashback) Fukutomi
    You did.
[10:31] (Flashback) Fukutomi
    The only way to get stronger is to practice.
[10:35] (Flashback) Fukutomi
    That means training to get the
    most out of what you possess.
[10:40] (Flashback) Fukutomi
    If you hone it enough,
    you will be able to see it...
[10:47] (Flashback) Fukutomi
    Your own style of riding!
[10:49] Ashikiba
    Make the most out of what I possess!

    He's swaying his body on purpose!

    Let's make the stem ten millimeters longer
    and raise your saddle five millimeters.

    What do you like?
[11:05] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    The piano.
[11:06] (Flashback) Shinkai
    Good.
[11:07] (Flashback) Shinkai
    Use that to ride.
[11:15] (Flashback) Shinkai
    Don't be offended.
[11:16] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    Oh, I'm not.
[11:18] (Flashback) Shinkai
    We went to the club room that day
[11:20] (Flashback) Shinkai
    because we heard you were going
    to become the laundry boy.
[11:23] (Flashback) Shinkai
    Juichi was trying to cheer you up.
[11:29] (Flashback) Hakogaku B
    The laundry boy won First-Year Race B!
[11:33] Ashikiba
    All right. I did it,
    Shinkai-san, Fukutomi-san!
[11:39] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    What? Me?
[11:41] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    You want me to wear a Hakone Academy
    jersey and appear in an official race?
[11:46] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    I'll do it! I promise I'll win!
[11:51] Ashikiba
    I was so happy then,
    I thought I could do anything.
[11:57] Ashikiba
    But reality was different.
[12:10] (Flashback) Man
    He's riding the wrong way! Watch out!
[12:14] (Flashback) Fukutomi
    I'm placing you on house arrest indefinitely.
[12:16] (Flashback) Fukutomi
    I'm not letting you race.
[12:20] Ashikiba
    I'm sorry.
[12:22] Ashikiba
    I placed second.
[12:24] Ashikiba
    I failed to meet your expectations again.
[12:27] Fukutomi
    You're all talk, Ashikiba.
[12:31] Fukutomi
    I thought I'd get to hear
    you tell me you won today.
[12:36] Ashikiba
    I'm sorry.
[12:38] Ashikiba
    House arrest...
[12:40] Ashikiba
    I won't be able to race again.
[12:42] Ashikiba
    How can I repay them?
[12:47] Fukutomi
    I thought you were going to repay me.
[12:52] Fukutomi
    You'd better win the next one.
[12:55] Ashikiba
    The next one?
[12:57] Fukutomi
    Ashikiba, we never lose to
    someone who's beaten us once.
[13:02] Fukutomi
    That's the duty of Hakone Academy's ace.
[13:09] Ashikiba
    Yes, sir.
[13:12] Hakogaku
    He's crying and smiling at the same time...
[13:22] Naruko
    Old man, let's settle this today.
[13:25] Naruko
    Let's see who's really
    the number one sprinter.
[13:29] Tadokoro
    Fine. Bring it on, redhead.
[13:32] Tadokoro
    You, too, Aoyagi.
[13:35] Rider A
    Aren't they on the same team?
[13:37] Rider B
    Does that mean they don't
    think we stand a chance?
[13:40] Fan A
    There's three guys leading the race!
[13:41] Fan B
    Who will win the race?
[13:43] Tadokoro
    Me!
[13:45] Aoyagi
    Me!
[13:45] Naruko
    Me, of course!
[13:47] Naruko
    The road racing season runs
    from March to November.
[13:51] Naruko
    This is the season's last race.
[13:53] Announce
    The Bay Coast Hill Climb
    is entering its final lap!
[14:02] Sakamichi
    N-Naruko-kun and Tadokoro-san
     are so fast. So is Aoyagi-san.
[14:06] Sakamichi
    They're going way faster than
    they were on the previous lap.
[14:09] Imaizumi
    That's because it's the final lap.
[14:12] Kinjou
    Tadokoro...
[14:15] Kinjou
    This Criterium involves over ten laps
    of a two to three kilometer course
[14:19] Kinjou
    on closed city streets.
[14:21] Kinjou
    Their positioning, corner speed, and
    sprinting power are important in this race.
[14:25] Kinjou
    And you insisted during the meeting on
    looking toward next year's Inter-High.
[14:33] Kinjou
    When a team enters a race
    with multiple participants,
[14:37] Kinjou
    normally they pick an ace
    and act to make him win.
[14:41] Kinjou
    But our sprinters are incorrigible.
[14:46] Kinjou
    All three of those idiots are trying to win.
[14:54] Naruko
    I'll pull, too.
[14:55] Naruko
    I won't feel good about
    winning if you complain later
[14:58] Naruko
    that you lost because you had to
    lead the group the whole time.
[15:01] Tadokoro
    You think you're going to win?
[15:03] Announce
    He's moving ahead!
[15:05] Aoyagi
    I'll pull, too.
[15:06] Tadokoro
    Aoyagi!
[15:06] Naruko
    Aoyagi-san!
[15:08] Naruko
    So the quiet one wants a fair fight, too?
[15:11] Naruko
    In other words, it'll come down
    to the sprint to the finish.
[15:15] Naruko
    The quiet one's gotten way stronger
    over the past few months.
[15:19] Naruko
    If I underestimate him, he'll beat me.
[15:24] Fan A
    The three Sohoku guys are leading the race!
[15:26] Fan A
    Nobody can catch them!
[15:27] Fan B
    The Inter-High champions are
    way stronger than the rest!
[15:30] Naruko
    He's putting his effort
    toward the wrong thing.
[15:33] Naruko
    So am I. Of course we are!
[15:36] Naruko
    This is Tadokoro-san's last race with us!
[15:43] Sugimoto
    They're so fast!
[15:44] Fan B
    Damn it!
[15:46] Sugimoto
    They're leaving me behind, even though
    we're all wearing Sohoku jerseys.
[15:54] Sugimoto
    That's it.
[15:55] Sugimoto
    They're encouraging me to make Sohoku proud
    since I'm wearing one of our jerseys.
[16:01] Sugimoto
    I'll do my best.
[16:06] Naruko
    It's the final corner.
[16:07] Naruko
    The corner comes down to how
    we enter and pull out of it.
[16:10] Naruko
    I'll enter at the narrowest possible angle.
[16:12] Naruko
    Once my posture starts reverting,
    I'll use my dancing to jump ahead!
[16:18] Announce
    It's the home stretch!
[16:19] Announce
    It's just 500 meters to the finish line!
[16:23] Aoyagi
    Tadokoro-san looked after me and Junta.
[16:27] (Flashback) Tadokoro
    Go for the finish line!
[16:29] (Flashback) Both
    Yes, sir!
[16:31] (Flashback) Teshima
    I'm sorry!
[16:32] (Flashback) Aoyagi
    I'm sorry...
[16:33] (Flashback) Both
    Tadokoro-san!
[16:35] Aoyagi
    He taught us to have
    unbreakable spirits and wills.
[16:40] Aoyagi
    He taught us how to fight.
[16:43] Aoyagi
    That's why I want to show
    him that I've grown!
[16:50] Naruko
    I can't imagine the team without the old man.
[16:56] (Flashback) Tadokoro
    You're a little bean.
[16:59] Naruko
    He never yields.
[17:02] Naruko
    He always shows off.
[17:05] Naruko
    And he's strong.
[17:07] Naruko
    That's why...
[17:11] Naruko
    I'll surpass the old man!
[17:13] Naruko
    And today's my last chance to do that!
[17:19] Aoyagi
    That's why...
[17:20] Naruko
    That's why I have to...
[17:22] Both
    Win!
[17:24] Announce
    Eighty meters left!
[17:26] Tadokoro
    These kids have grown.
[17:31] Tadokoro
    Aoyagi, Naruko...
[17:33] Tadokoro
    Carry on the spirit of
    Sohoku's sprinters, who keep
[17:36] Tadokoro
    charging forward even after eating pavement.
[17:40] Tadokoro
    I'm sweating a lot today.
[17:43] Tadokoro
    This is your last job, Tadokoro Jin.
[17:48] Tadokoro
    I'll show them, so they don't win
    and let it get to their heads.
[17:53] Tadokoro
    That in this world, there are
    giant walls to overcome!
[18:00] Tadokoro
    Aoyagi, Naruko!
[18:03] Tadokoro
    Get stronger.
[18:04] Tadokoro
    Stronger, stronger, stronger!
[18:14] Tadokoro
    You have to pull Sohoku now.
[18:20] Announce
    The winner is Sohoku third-year Tadokoro Jin!
[18:27] Tadokoro
    That was close.
[18:28] Tadokoro
    That was the toughest sprint so far.
[18:36] Tadokoro
    You don't have to look so unhappy.
[18:39] Naruko
    You were supposed to quietly
    pass the baton to us!
[18:42] Tadokoro
    I did it for you guys.
[18:46] Tadokoro
    Right, Aoyagi?
[18:48] Tadokoro
    Say something!
[18:58] Tadokoro
    Kinjou!
[18:59] Imaizumi
    Good work.
[19:00] Kinjou
    You rode well.
[19:03] Tadokoro
    Thanks, Aoyagi, Naruko.
[19:06] Tadokoro
    You made that a memorable race.
[19:11] Both
    Thank you!
[19:15] Tadokoro
    You're unusually submissive today.

[19:20] Both
    A special goodbye punch!

    Aoyagi-san, run for it!
[19:26] Kinjou
    Sprinters...
[19:26] Aoyagi
    Yeah!
[19:27] Tadokoro
    Wait!
[19:32] Miki
    Thank you for three years of membership.
[19:35] Sugimoto
    We won't get to practice with you anymore.
[19:41] Kinjou
    We have to get serious about
    studying for exams soon.
[19:45] Tadokoro
    Yeah.

    Um, Kinjou-san, Tadokoro-san...
[19:52] Sakamichi

[19:56] Tadokoro
    Sure, thanks.
[19:58] Kinjou
    Thank you.
[20:00] Sakamichi
    I'll send this to Makishima-san.
[20:03] Sakamichi
    He helped me a lot, too.
[20:08] Kinjou
    Yeah. I'm sure he'll appreciate it.
[20:10] Tadokoro
    Although it'll be hard to tell from
    his expression if he does.
[20:19] Teshima
    Kinjou-san, Tadokoro-san.
[20:20] Teshima
    Thank you for all your hard work.
[20:23] Teshima
    We'll keep riding just as hard as you did.
[20:28] Teshima
    Thank you.
[20:30] All
    Thank you.
[20:33] Kinjou
    They're succeeding us, huh?
[20:37] Naruko
    We'll now put on a performance to
     send off the graduating upperclassmen.
[20:42] Naruko

    Who are you calling a bean?
[21:00] Tadokoro
    Don't sully my retirement!
[21:03] Imaizumi
    With the upperclassmen leaving,
    we have fewer members to practice with.

    At this rate, we'll...

    What'd you want to talk about, Hotshot?
[00:11] Imaizumi
    You must've noticed, too.
[00:14] Imaizumi
    It's about that.
[00:17] Imaizumi
    Since Makishima-san left and Tadokoro-san
    and Kinjou-san stopped coming to practice,
[00:22] Imaizumi
    we've started practicing with
    just Teshima-san and Aoyagi-san.
[00:27] Imaizumi
    You must feel it, too. Keenly.
[00:31] Imaizumi
    The huge size of the hole
    left by the third-years.
[00:41] Naruko
    Not really.
[00:42] Imaizumi
    It's not Teshima-san and Aoyagi-san's fault.
[00:45] Imaizumi
    They've gotten more than strong enough.
[00:48] Imaizumi
    But the reality is our
    practices have gotten weaker
[00:50] Imaizumi
    than when the third-years were around.
[00:54] Imaizumi
    We experienced it firsthand
    at this year's Inter-High.
[00:57] Imaizumi
    Its fierceness, its level, its brutality.
[01:01] Imaizumi
    At this rate...
[01:04] Imaizumi
    We can't win next year.

    Not even a single stage.

[01:19] Naruko
    What are we supposed to do, then?
[01:21] Naruko
    All we can do is practice.
[01:23] Imaizumi
    Naruko...
[01:25] Imaizumi
    You should become an all-rounder like me.
[01:29] Imaizumi
    Abandon the sprint.
[01:30] Naruko
    Hotshot, who do you think you're talking to?
[01:33] Imaizumi
    Cry all you want, but the
    third-years aren't coming back.
[01:37] Imaizumi
    We have to change.
[01:39] Naruko
    Are you stupid? I'm the Speedman
    of Naniwa, Naruko Shoukichi!
[01:43] Imaizumi
    Our team doesn't have enough riders who
    can aim for the finish line right now.
[01:48] Imaizumi
    Road racing is a race to
    reach the finish line.
[01:53] Imaizumi
    If you start working on it now,
    you'll be ready by the Inter-High.
[01:56] Naruko
    What?
[01:57] Imaizumi
    Spend less time practicing
    on flats and climb.
[02:00] Imaizumi
    You need to change your style completely.
[02:05] Naruko
    I can't do that.
[02:06] Naruko
    No way. I refuse.
[02:08] Naruko
    Besides, we're classmates.
    I don't take orders from you.
[02:12] Imaizumi
    It's for the team. It's so we can win.
[02:14] Imaizumi
    You already showed a glimpse
    of that at the Inter-High.
[02:19] Imaizumi
    You climbed despite being a sprinter.
[02:21] Imaizumi
    That's not something a normal rider can do.
[02:24] Imaizumi
    You can climb. You have
    the right feel for it.
[02:26] Imaizumi
    Your body is light, too.
[02:27] Imaizumi
    You already have a keen nose for the goal.
[02:30] Imaizumi
    Do it.
[02:35] Naruko
    I can't.
[02:36] Naruko
    I can't let the quiet one pass me now.
[02:40] Naruko
    Sorry, Hotshot.

    We had an unexpected visitor.
[03:12] Teshima
    A local middle school student

[03:14] Teshima
    He didn't realize the door was locked

    Sugimoto?
[03:51] Sadatoki
    My dream is to race with

[04:08] Sakamichi
    Th-That's amazing.
[04:10] Sadatoki
    Um, are you Onoda-san?
[04:12] Sakamichi
    Yes.
[04:13] Sadatoki
    My brother's told me all about you.
[04:17] Sadatoki
    I'm a huge fan of yours.
[04:19] Sakamichi
    Huh? What?!
[04:21] Sadatoki
    Onoda-san, you're small.
    Far smaller than I imagined.
[04:25] Sadatoki
    But you're strong. You're so cool.

    Oh, I'm not...

    and get into the bicycle club,
[04:34] Sadatoki
    I want to become an
    incredible rider like you.
[04:40] Sakamichi
    Yeah, g-good luck.
[04:42] Sadatoki
    Thank you!
[04:45] Friend
    I can't believe you have someone
    who wants to join the club already.
[04:48] Friend
    The bicycle club's all set.
[04:51] Friend
    Miki?
[04:53] Miki
    Sorry, yeah. You're right.
[04:57] Sugimoto
    Shall we get practice started, then?
[05:00] Sugimoto
    We're training on Minegayama
    today, right, Teshima-san?
[05:02] Sugimoto
    Sadatoki's been wanting
    to ride with you, Onoda.
[05:05] Sakamichi
    What?
[05:06] Imaizumi
    I'm against it.
[05:10] Imaizumi
    I've been listening.
[05:11] Imaizumi
    Hey, big boy. Ride this.
[05:15] Both
    A th-three-drum roller?
[05:18] Imaizumi
    It's a test. If you can't ride this,
    I won't let you participate in our practice.
[05:22] Sugimoto
    You can't be serious.
[05:24] Sugimoto
    Sadatoki's never rode one before.
[05:26] Imaizumi
    Every day of practice counts
    for us. We're desperate.
[05:31] Imaizumi
    We can't give you special treatment
    just because you're someone's brother.
[05:35] Imaizumi
    You have only one chance.
[05:36] Imaizumi
    If you fail, leave.
[05:38] Sakamichi
    Imaizumi-kun.
[05:39] Sugimoto
    But it's hard to balance
    on three-drum rollers...
[05:42] Sugimoto
    At least give him a few chances.
[05:47] Imaizumi
    Can he succeed with only one chance?
[05:50] Imaizumi
    In road racing, that's an important factor.
[05:55] Imaizumi
    Onoda did it.
[06:08] Imaizumi
    Huh.
[06:09] Sugimoto
    Well, that was easy.
[06:12] Teshima
    We can afford to take him to
    one practice to see how he does.
[06:18] Imaizumi
    Yes, sir.
[06:19] Teshima
    So, how good is he on a bike?
[06:22] Sugimoto
    You mean Sadatoki? He's fine.
[06:25] Sugimoto
    After all, I've taught him everything
    I know about road racing.
[06:34] Imaizumi
    He's so slow.
[06:35] Imaizumi
    He's strong enough to lift a mommy bike,
    but he's a slow sprinter.
[06:40] Teshima
    Maybe it's his form.
[06:42] Imaizumi
    His form is awful. It's just like Sugimoto's.
[06:45] Imaizumi
    It's inefficient.
[06:47] Imaizumi
    He may have been good enough to ride on
    the roller, but he's no good on a bike.
[06:50] Sakamichi
    Wait, Imaizumi-kun.
[06:53] Sakamichi
    Sadatoki-kun's strength could be climbing.
[06:59] Imaizumi
    Looks like you were wrong.
[07:01] Imaizumi
    It's another exact copy.
[07:04] Sakamichi
    Sadatoki-kun, you can do it.
[07:06] Sakamichi
    I mean, when you're climbing, uh...
[07:10] Sadatoki
    Yes, sir. What am I supposed to do?
[07:13] Imaizumi
    He's wasting his time.
[07:14] Imaizumi
    Let's go, Teshima-san.
[07:17] Imaizumi
    If there's anything he's specialized at,
    it's being in perfect sync with his brother.
[07:23] (Flashback) Sugimoto
    Let's go.
[07:25] Teshima
    Synchronization?
[07:29] Imaizumi
    Maybe this is how they felt.
[07:32] Imaizumi
    As younger members join the team,
[07:35] Imaizumi
    you pray for just a handful
    you can use at the Inter-High.
[07:43] Imaizumi
    Then your intentions just might reach them.
[07:46] Imaizumi
    It's a crushing, almost wishful feeling.
[07:52] Imaizumi
    Is that how you felt, Kinjou-san,
    Tadokoro-san, Makishima-san?
[07:58] Imaizumi
    I guess I had hoped for more.
[08:02] Imaizumi
    Honestly, I'm disappointed
    by our current situation.
[08:06] Imaizumi
    Let's go, Onoda.
[08:08] Imaizumi
    Unfortunately, we have to leave them behind.
[08:10] Imaizumi
    We don't have any more time for them.
[08:12] Both
    What?
[08:13] Imaizumi
    We have things we have to do today.
[08:17] Imaizumi
    We're facing the entire country.
[08:26] Sadatoki
    Thanks for the food.
[08:27] Sadatoki
    No, wait. I mean thank you.
[08:30] Sadatoki
    I had fun riding with you, Onoda-san.
[08:34] Sugimoto
    It's okay. I'll ride with Sadatoki.
[08:40] Sakamichi
    Sorry I couldn't do anything for you.
[08:49] Teshima
    Imaizumi, do you have some time to spare?
[08:51] Teshima
    Maybe about three minutes.
[08:53] Imaizumi
    Teshima-san?
[08:54] Teshima
    Go ride with Rice Boy for three minutes.
[08:58] Imaizumi
    No, thank you. We've already
    reached a conclusion.
[09:01] Teshima
    Are you sure?
[09:03] Teshima
    Unlike his brother, he's big and powerful.
[09:07] Teshima
    He even had a good enough sense
    of balance to ride on the roller.
[09:10] Teshima
    But he was slow on a bike. Why?
[09:13] Imaizumi
    Because of his form.
    He's copying his brother's form.
[09:18] Imaizumi
    Sugimoto's form makes him lose power.
[09:21] Imaizumi
    Without power, you get left
    behind in road racing.
[09:24] Imaizumi
    That's why he always falls behind.
[09:27] Teshima
    Then what if his form were improved?
[09:29] Imaizumi
    Then... No, it can't be fixed that quickly.
[09:33] Imaizumi
    At the very least, not in three minutes.
[09:35] Teshima
    Are you sure? Couldn't you do it?
[09:39] Teshima
    You said he had the power to synchronize.
[09:44] Teshima
    Go test it out. It means he has potential.
[09:48] Imaizumi
    Potential?
[09:50] Teshima
    Imaizumi, isn't that how
     you brought Team Sohoku...
[09:56] Teshima
    its top-class ace climber?
[10:01] Imaizumi
    Onoda...
[10:06] Sakamichi
    Huh? Imaizumi-kun?
[10:08] Sadatoki
    Imaizumi-san?
[10:10] Imaizumi
    Big boy, you get one chance.
[10:12] Imaizumi
    Forget everything your brother
    taught you about road racing.
[10:16] Sugimoto
    What are you talking about?
[10:20] Imaizumi
    Copy that small bespectacled guy's form
    and do your best to catch up to him.
[10:27] Sadatoki
    My idol Onoda-san's form?
[10:30] Sugimoto
    He should be able to handle that.
    Sadatoki's a fast learner.
[10:36] Sugimoto
    And Sadatoki's watched videos
    of the first-year race
[10:39] Sugimoto
    and our training camp over and over.
[10:43] Sadatoki
    Onoda-san's...
[10:45] Sadatoki
    Onoda-san...
[10:46] Imaizumi
    The pressure changed. Is he...
[10:49] Sadatoki
    Onoda-san!
[10:54] Sadatoki
    Onoda-san!
[10:57] Sakamichi
    H-How?
[11:00] Sadatoki
    I-I caught up.
[11:04] Sakamichi
    Sadatoki-kun!
[11:06] Sugimoto
    Are you okay, Sadatoki?
[11:08] Imaizumi
    It was only for a moment,
    but he copied his form perfectly.
[11:12] Imaizumi
    He succeeded twice with only
    a single chance each time.
[11:16] Imaizumi
    Was it a coincidence? If it wasn't, then...
[11:19] Sadatoki
    Thanks for the food, Onoda-san.
[11:21] Sakamichi
    Oh, it's fine.
[11:22] Sadatoki
    Thanks for the food.
[11:23] Sakamichi
    No, really. Thank you.
[11:25] Sadatoki
    Thank you.

    You're supposed to praise your
    juniors when they do well.
[11:35] Sadatoki
    Thanks for the food.
[11:35] Sakamichi
    Really, it's okay.
[11:37] Imaizumi
    Rice Boy.
[11:39] Sadatoki
    Yes?
[11:41] Imaizumi
    G-Good job.
[11:44] Sakamichi
    Imaizumi-kun, what's wrong with you?
[11:46] Sugimoto
    I-Imaizumi is making a conflicted face!
[11:49] Imaizumi
    I can't do it. I don't
    compliment people often.
[11:54] Sadatoki
    Thanks for the food.
[11:56] Imaizumi
    Uh, I...
[12:05] Naruko
    Thanks for staying late.
[12:07] Teshima
    What did you want to talk about?
[12:10] Naruko
    Could I take time off
    practice over the holiday?
[12:15] Naruko
    I'm having doubts about what's right
    for me and the path I should take.
[12:21] Naruko
    I'm sorry. It's only a possibility, but...
[12:26] Naruko
    Could I quit being a sprinter?
[12:34] Teshima
    Quit being a sprinter?
[12:37] Naruko
    It's only a maybe. I'm just
    saying it's a possibility.
[12:43] Teshima
    That's alarming. It affects our team.
[12:48] Teshima
    Tadokoro-san passed on the role
    of sprinter to you.
[12:53] Teshima
    Your abilities leave nothing to be desired.
[12:55] Teshima
    What is there to worry about?
[13:00] Naruko
    I'm sorry! Please don't ask,
    just give me the three days off!
[13:03] Naruko
    I'm thinking of going home to Osaka.
[13:06] Naruko
    I want to return to where
    I started and think things over.
[13:09] Naruko
    I want to find my own answer.
[13:13] Teshima
    You're not too smart, are you?
[13:15] Teshima
    You've been too stubborn
[13:17] Teshima
    to ask Tadokoro-san about whatever's
    bothering you, haven't you?
[13:22] Naruko
    I...
[13:23] Teshima
    It means it's too heavy a
    concern to discuss with others.
[13:27] Teshima
    Naruko, that sounds just like you.
[13:30] Teshima
    You can go until you're satisfied.
[13:34] Naruko
    I'm back to the city where
    I was born and raised, Osaka!
SIGN    Naruko Snacks
SIGN    Naruko Shoukichi-kun
    Congratulations on your team's victory!
    Celebrating a triumphant return!!
[13:54] Naruko
    I guess I'll go to where it all started.
[14:03] Naruko
    I might be able to find something here.
[14:08] Naruko
    This brings back memories.
    It's been six months.
[14:12] Naruko
    That sign's the finish line.
[14:15] Naruko
    The fastest guys in Osaka gather here.
[14:23] Naruko
    I learned to sprint by racing here every day.
[14:28] Naruko
    They're so cool.
[14:31] Naruko
    This is where I first
    encountered road racing!
[14:34] Naruko
    My home course!
[14:36] Naruko
    This is where everything started!
[14:39] Naruko
    One lap is 600 meters of 250-meter
    straights and one turn.
[14:44] Naruko
    Fighting against and
    utilizing the sea breeze,
[14:47] Naruko
    I used tricks, instinct, and
    technique to seize victory!
[14:51] Man 1
    He's fast!
[14:51] Man 2
    His cornering and speed are incredible!
[14:54] Man 3
    That jersey...
[14:56] Man 3
    That's Chiba's Sohoku!
[14:57] Man 1
    What? You mean this year's
    Inter-High winners?
[15:00] Man 3
    I heard a red-headed sprinter
    from Osaka joined Chiba's Sohoku.
[15:05] Man 1
    The sprinter Naruko Shoukichi!
[15:08] Naruko
    Sprinter...
[15:11] Naruko
    Fast, flashy, and speeding
    through corners at top speed.
[15:14] Naruko
    Racing past the scenery
    faster than everyone else.
[15:17] Naruko
    A world of glorious make-or-break contests.
[15:21] Naruko
    That's what it means to be a sprinter!
[15:22] Naruko
    It's the world I admired! The path I believed in!
[15:27] Naruko
    I can't abandon this that easily.
[15:30] Naruko
    My red blood is screaming for it!
[15:34] Kakimoto
    Let's race, Sohoku.
    How does three laps sound?
[15:39] Kakimoto
    I'm Handai High School's sprinter,
    Kakimoto Ryudai.
[15:44] Kakimoto
    They call me the Dragon
    of Rokko's Winter Winds.
[15:46] Kakimoto
    I'm undefeated on this course.
[15:50] Naruko
    Bring it on. Let's do three laps.
[15:52] Naruko
    If I fail here, I'll have failed
    as a sprinter. I'll give it up.
[15:56] Kakimoto
    Ready, go!
[15:59] Naruko
    You won't beat me!
[16:02] Naruko
    The answer can always be found in battle.
[16:05] Man 1
    First lap!
[16:06] Man 1
    It's a race between the red-haired Sohoku
    rider Naruko and Handai High's Kakimoto!
[16:10] Naruko
    It seems like it's true this Kakimoto
    guy is undefeated on this course.
[16:15] Naruko
    He's keeping up with me.
[16:17] Man 1
    Third lap! One lap left!
[16:21] Kakimoto
    Sohoku's Naruko, your sprinting
    and cornering are incredible.
[16:25] Kakimoto
    It's no wonder you won nationals.
[16:27] Kakimoto
    But this is an unofficial race.
    Anything goes on this different kind of track.
[16:35] Kakimoto
    I'll show you why they really call me the
    Night Dragon of Rokko's Winter Winds.
[16:42] Man 1
    There it is!
[16:43] Man 2
    The Night Dragon Kakimoto special!
[16:47] Kakimoto
    Surprised? Of course you are.
[16:49] Kakimoto
    Not only am I fast, but I glow!
[16:53] Kakimoto
    Like a nightscape of Kobe seen from
    Mt. Rokko, I'm worth a million dollars.
[16:59] Kakimoto
    Why Kobe when I'm from Osaka?
    They're close enough.
[17:02] Kakimoto
    Don't worry about the details.
[17:05] Naruko
    That's so cool!
[17:08] Kakimoto
    Now it's full speed ahead!
    It's a straight line to the finish line!
[17:11] Naruko
    Oh, whoops. Calm down.
[17:14] Naruko
    I'm in the middle of the race.
[17:15] Naruko
    This is no time to be admiring his bike.
[17:17] Man 1
    Naruko's fallen behind!
[17:18] Naruko
    No matter the circumstances, I'll win.
[17:20] Naruko
    I learned this feeling during the Inter-High.
[17:25] Naruko
    Move, idiot! The flashiest man here...
[17:31] Naruko
    is me, Naruko Shoukichi! Yeah!
[17:36] Man 1
    What was that? Amazing!
[17:38] Man 1
    He stretched so far ahead
    before the finish line!
[17:40] Man 2
    That's how the champions, Sohoku, sprint!
[17:45] Daitsubu
    If I beat you, I'll be top-class.
[17:48] Daitsubu
    Sohoku's Naruko, I'm your next opponent.
[17:52] Daitsubu
    It's been a while.
[17:54] Daitsubu
    I'm Nara Sanri Academy's white-hot
    sprinter, Daitsubu Takeshi.
[17:58] Daitsubu
    I'll only turn the other cheek thrice.
[18:00] Naruko
    Who the hell is he?
[18:03] Daitsubu
    This is my bike.
[18:06] Naruko
    That's...
[18:07] Daitsubu
    They're popular in Europe. It's a track bike.
[18:12] Daitsubu
    Even the gears have been removed.
[18:13] Daitsubu
    It's light. It's strong.
[18:15] Daitsubu
    It's a bike made exclusively
    for riding flats.
[18:19] Daitsubu
    The hollowed out tube...
[18:21] Daitsubu
    The super-light handles
    made for track racing...
[18:24] Daitsubu
    Do you know what happens
[18:26] Daitsubu
    when I combine them with my barrel-like legs,
    which were made for sprinting?
[18:31] Daitsubu
    In scientific reactions, when you combine
    pure reagents, you get miraculous results.
[18:37] Daitsubu
    Come, Sohoku sprinter! It's a three-lap race!
[18:42] Daitsubu
    I'll only turn the other cheek thrice!
[18:44] Naruko
    Is that your catchphrase?
[18:45] Naruko
    Jeez, these freaks keep
    coming one after another.
[18:50] Naruko
    But I can tell they all love bikes.
[18:54] Naruko
    I'm the same way.
[18:56] Naruko
    So I'll sprint as hard as I can.
[18:59] Naruko
    I think he said something about purity.
[19:03] Naruko
    Sorry, but Naruko Shoukichi is a
    natural-born 100 percent pure sprinter!
[19:12] Naruko
    You're pretty fast.
[19:14] Naruko
    I'm just unthinkably fast.
[19:18] Naruko
    I excel at straight lines
    as I ride with flair!
[19:21] Naruko
    I'm the prodigal speedster!
[19:30] Naruko
    Uh-oh, I've gotten stronger.
[19:34] Naruko
    I'm faster than I was
    when I used to ride here.
[19:37] Naruko
    I can tell I'm using my muscles,
    and my speed's on a whole different level.
[19:42] Naruko
    Did riding in the Inter-High make me grow?
[19:46] Naruko
    Was it my friendly rivalry with
    the old man and Aoyagi-san?
[19:49] Naruko
    Sorry, hotshot. I can't give up this gift.
[19:54] Naruko
    My next race will be my last one.
    If I win, I'll keep riding as a sprinter.
[20:03] Midousuji
    Shall we race?
[20:06] Naruko
    M-Midousuji? Kyoto Fushimi's ace?
[20:11] Man 1
    Isn't that Midousuji, who won the first day's
    race and two number tags on the second?
[20:16] Man 2
    He beat Hakone Academy's ace
    sprinter, #4 Shinkai, in a sprint!
[20:23] Midousuji
    I came to Osaka since I was bored
[20:27] Midousuji
    and heard a gross freak in
    a yellow jersey was here.
[20:31] Naruko
    Thanks for the compliment.
    Does that mean you came to see me?
[20:35] Naruko
    Thank you.
[20:37] Naruko
    My last opponent is him of all people?
[20:42] Naruko
    It's just another race.
[20:44] Midousuji
    Since it's a 600-meter track, how does
    a ten-lap, six-kilometer race sound?
[20:51] Naruko
    Sure. It's my last race.
[20:53] Naruko
    Give me everything you've got.
[20:55] Midousuji
    It's your last race. Make sure
    you squeeze out every last drop.
[21:01] Midousuji
    But it wouldn't be fun to just race.
[21:05] Midousuji
    Why don't we each bet something important?
[21:16] Naruko
    Sure. I'd already decided for myself,
    no matter who I was racing...
[21:22] Naruko
    If I win the next race,
    I'll keep riding as a sprinter.
[21:26] Naruko
    If I lose...
[21:29] Naruko
    I'll quit sprinting!

    But it wouldn't be fun to just race.

    Why don't we each bet something important?

    That's Naruko, the sprinter from
     national champion Sohoku,
[00:39] Mob 1
    and Kyoto Fushimi's first-year ace Midousuji!
[00:42] Mob 2
    And they're about to have a sprint showdown?
[00:44] Mob 3
    Seriously? I can't believe we
    get to watch that race here!
[00:49] Naruko
    If I win the next race,
    I'll keep riding as a sprinter.
[00:53] Naruko

    You, the sprinter?

    Yeah, what do you think?
[02:42] Naruko
    This race just got really
    interesting, didn't it?
[02:48] Midousuji
    Gross!
[02:50] Midousuji
    He's serious. This guy must be an idiot.
[02:53] Midousuji
    He actually bet something important to him.
[02:55] Midousuji
    But such purity can only
    be found in serious races.
[03:02] Midousuji
    Gross, gross!
[03:04] Midousuji
    Fine. My heart hasn't beat
    this hard in a while.
[03:09] Midousuji
    This is exactly the kind of
    competition I was looking for.
[03:14] Midousuji
    Mizuta-kun, Yamaguchi-kun...
[03:20] Midousuji
    If I lose this race, the five of you
    can ride in next year's Inter-High.

    Yes, sir.
[03:47] Naruko
    He's serious.
[03:49] Midousuji
    Of course, if that ever happened, my head
    would split in two. I couldn't do it.
[03:57] Midousuji
    So I have to win here.
[04:01] Naruko
    I heard you were lying in the first aid
    tent at the Inter-High for a long time.
[04:06] Naruko
    Did all that sleep leave you out of shape?
[04:09] Midousuji
    I was just resting.
[04:12] Midousuji
    I can't do anything if the vessel
    carrying my soul is a wreck.
[04:17] Midousuji
    Thanks to that, I recovered.
    Gradually, I recovered.
[04:22] Midousuji
    Now, I'm even more flawless than before.
[04:26] Mob 1
    They're coming around the turn!
[04:28] Mob 2
    They're passing under the fire hydrant sign!
[04:30] Mob 1
    Their ten-lap sprint...
[04:32] Mob 2
    ...is starting!
[04:45] Mob 1
    Kyoto Fushimi's accelerating!
[04:47] Mob 2
    How can he lean so far forward while dancing?
[04:49] Mob 2
    He's so fast!
[04:50] Naruko
    Midousuji!
[04:51] Mob 2
    But there's a turn coming up!
[04:54] Mob 1
    If he goes that fast into
    the turn, he'll fall!
[04:57] Naruko
    He won't fall.
[04:58] Naruko
    He rounds corners with
    full-throttle dive banks!
[05:06] Mob 4
    How can he turn at that speed?
[05:08] Mob 5
    Sohoku's falling behind!
[05:11] Naruko
    He's fast. He's first-rate.
[05:12] Naruko
    But I'm falling behind? Are they joking?
[05:17] Naruko
    They can't be serious!
[05:23] Naruko
    You going somewhere?
[05:24] Naruko
    You seem to be in a hurry.
[05:26] Naruko
    Are you holding back a poop?
[05:29] Midousuji
    Sohoku sprinter, are you
    talking about yourself?
[05:33] Midousuji
    You're pedaling as fast as you can.
[05:36] Mob 1
    Whoa!
[05:37] Mob 1
    What? They finished two laps
    in the time I finished one!
[05:41] Naruko
    Show me what you've really got!
[05:44] Midousuji
    No, you.
[05:46] Daitsubu
    They're so fast.
[05:47] Kakimoto
    What's wrong with them?
[05:49] Kakimoto
    Was Naruko holding back when he raced us?
[05:52] Ishigaki
    They're both pushing each other forward.
[05:54] Both
    What?
[05:55] Ishigaki
    Both their ability and competitive spirit.
[05:58] Daitsubu
    Kyoto Fushimi third-year...
[06:01] Kakimoto
    ...Ishigaki!
[06:03] Ishigaki
    Will you make your next breakthrough in
    this race against Naruko-kun, Midousuji?
[06:14] Midousuji
    That's right.
[06:15] Midousuji
    This is exactly the kind of
    competition I was looking for.
[06:21] Mob 2
    Sohoku's pulling ahead!
[06:23] Naruko
    You're too slow, Turtle-suji.
[06:26] Midousuji
    That's not something you should
    say when you're drenched in sweat,
[06:29] Midousuji
    you chicken-headed bean!

    Fall!

    Shut up!

    Fall!

    No, you fall!

    Fall!

    Idiot!

    Second lap!
[06:49] Daitsubu
    Third lap!
[06:52] Midousuji
    Fall!
[06:54] Naruko
    I'm not falling, seaweed!
[06:56] Mob 2
    They're running into each other...
[06:58] Mob 3
    As they pass us!
[06:59] Midousuji
    Fourth lap!
[07:01] Midousuji
    You want to keep going?
[07:03] Midousuji
    This race is about to become
    so back-breakingly intense,
[07:07] Midousuji
    you'll wish you'd dropped out now.
[07:09] Naruko
    Thanks. That's exactly what I'm looking for.
[07:12] Naruko
    Make it as hard as you can.
[07:15] Midousuji
    You must be stupid.
[07:16] Midousuji
    Why'd you scream about seaweed?
[07:17] Naruko
    That's you.
[07:19] Naruko
    You're long and drift around everywhere!
[07:23] Kakimoto
    They're changing positions
    as they ride with dizzying speed!
[07:25] Mob 1
    They've gotten even faster on this lap!
[07:28] Mob 2
    Will this race be a draw?
[07:35] Midousuji
    Seaweed!
[07:36] Naruko
    Watching him ride from behind
    sends chills down my spine.
[07:39] Naruko
    All my hair's standing on end.
[07:43] Naruko
    He's different from everyone
    else I've ridden against.
[07:48] Naruko
    He has no doubts. He's decisive.
[07:52] Naruko
    It's like he's carving away everything
    unnecessary with a knife or something.
[07:58] Naruko
    He only rides to move forward!
[08:03] Naruko
    His style has changed!
[08:07] Midousuji
    Seaweed!
[08:09] Naruko
    He's stronger than he was at the Inter-High!
[08:12] Daitsubu
    Fifth lap!
[08:17] Midousuji
    You've been speaking less.
[08:24] Midousuji
    After becoming the champions of the
    Inter-High and hugging each other,
[08:28] Midousuji
    praising each other,
    congratulating each other,
[08:31] Midousuji
    and discussing how important
    your friends are...
[08:34] Midousuji
    Are you sure you didn't forget to practice?
[08:40] Naruko
    You're right. I may have forgotten.
[08:49] Mob 1
    Sohoku's Naruko pulled
    ahead of him in the turn!
[08:52] Mob 2
    He's trying to keep Kyoto Fushimi in check!
[08:56] Naruko
    Keep you in check? I wouldn't do that.
[08:59] Naruko
    I'm the Sprinter of Naniwa!
[09:02] Naruko
    I always aim to be flashy!
[09:04] Naruko
    Playtime is over!
[09:07] Naruko
    I'm pulling ahead!
[09:09] Kakimoto
    Sixth lap!
[09:12] Midousuji
    He jumped ahead. Was that
    not as fast as he could go?
[09:15] Midousuji
    That acceleration's the real thing.
[09:17] Midousuji
    This technique, this heartbeat,
    this wariness, this pressure.
[09:21] Midousuji
    He's no ordinary chicken-head!
[09:26] Mob 1
    Kyoto Fushimi's falling behind!
[09:29] Midousuji
    So he's been observing me until now?
[09:34] Midousuji
    Me? Observing me?
[09:37] Midousuji
    He's been appraising me?
[09:41] Midousuji
    And he jumped ahead because
    he thought he could win?
[09:45] Naruko
    I can win.
[09:47] Naruko
    You were right. I did forget to practice.
[09:51] Naruko
    After all, our team had a bear with
    a giant attitude and body on it.
[09:55] Naruko
    Because I was anxious to beat him,
    I didn't have a chance to rest!
[10:00] Naruko
    And partway through, a super-fast
    but silent mole popped up, too.
[10:05] Naruko
    Unfortunately for you, Midousuji,
    since the Inter-High,
[10:10] Naruko
    I've gotten stronger not during practice,
    but during actual races!
[10:14] Naruko
    Sorry. That told me everything
    I needed to know.
[10:17] Naruko
    I'm the faster sprinter.
[10:20] Naruko
    I'll show you just how fast
    the genius Naruko can sprint!
[10:32] Mob 1
    He's so fast!
[10:33] Mob 2
    Sohoku's been riding exceptionally
    fast since he jumped ahead!
[10:37] Naruko
    This is how fast the genius Naruko sprints!
[10:44] Daitsubu
    They're starting their seventh lap.
[10:46] Daitsubu
    There's four laps to go.
[10:47] Kakimoto
    Kyoto Fushimi's falling behind.
[10:51] Mizuta
    If Midousuji-kun loses, only five of
    us will ride at next year's Inter-High.
[10:59] Mizuta
    Anything goes in an unofficial race.
[11:02] Mizuta
    No one said it had to be one-on-one.
[11:04] Mizuta
    I'm going to go help Midousuji-kun.
[11:07] Ishigaki
    You don't need to go, Nobu.
[11:11] Mizuta
    Are you sure it's okay for you
    to call me Nobu, Ishigaki-san?
[11:16] Mizuta
    Midousuji-kun told us to call each
    other by our numbers or use honorifics.
[11:21] Ishigaki
    It's fine. I retired from the club.
[11:25] Ishigaki
    I'll call you whatever I want, Nobuyuki.
[11:28] Mizuta
    What do you mean, we don't
    have to go help him?
[11:32] Ishigaki
    He's been waiting for this moment.
[11:36] Ishigaki
    For someone as physically and mentally
    strong as he is to accept his challenge.
[11:44] Ishigaki
    He's become too strong. No one
    can challenge him anymore.
[11:50] Ishigaki
    Since the Inter-High ended,
    his riding style has changed.
[11:54] Mizuta
    Really? It looks the same to me.
[11:57] Ishigaki
    No, he's started carefully considering
    and treating each practice and each race.
[12:05] Ishigaki
    He's always been that way,
    but it's like he's honed it.
[12:08] Ishigaki
    Like he's searching for something.
[12:11] Ishigaki
    It seemed to me like he was waiting for
    something to break him out of his shell.
[12:16] Ishigaki
    He's the one in control of this race.
[12:21] Ishigaki
    Just as an insect breaks through its
    exoskeleton to become stronger and larger,
[12:27] Ishigaki
    he's trying to shed his skin, too.
[12:34] Midousuji
    I wanted competition.
[12:39] Midousuji
    Win or lose... I can't lose.
[12:43] Midousuji
    Something important.
[12:54] Midousuji
    Something that's only born
    from this kind of intensity.
[12:59] Midousuji
    This is the shock I was looking for.
[13:04] Midousuji
    It's time to fly.
[13:11] Midousuji
    Just as insects metamorphose and
    take flight in search of life
[13:15] Midousuji
    when an area becomes overpopulated...
[13:19] Midousuji
    To achieve my next victory...
[13:25] Midousuji
    I will fly, too!
[13:32] Mizuta
    A battle cry? Midousuji-kun!
[13:34] Ishigaki
    Midousuji, is this your next form?
[13:50] Kakimoto
    Eighth lap!
[13:52] Daitsubu
    What the hell is that?
[13:54] Mob 1
    He stretched his back straight forward!
[13:55] Mob 2
    His form is so strange, but...
[13:58] Mob 2
    He's fast!
[14:00] Kakimoto
    He's trying to catch up with
    less than 1.8 kilometers to go.
[14:04] Kakimoto
    But he's almost half a lap behind.
[14:07] Mob 2
    Can he do that?
[14:14] Ishigaki
    Midousuji...

[15:46] Naruko
    Interesting.
[15:48] Naruko
    I'm impressed, Midousuji.

[15:53] Naruko
    But I won't let you catch up!
[16:00] Naruko
    What is he doing?
[16:04] Naruko
    He's different. I can feel it.
[16:07] Naruko
    My fingers are shaking.
[16:09] Naruko
    What kind of ridiculous pressure is this?
[16:12] Naruko
    Hey, wait! I'm not letting you catch me!

    Has he been...
[16:34] Midousuji
    Oh, you're behind me now, bean?
[16:40] Midousuji
    I'm facing downwards, so I didn't notice.
[16:45] Midousuji
    That's not good. I can't go
    fast unless I face forward.
[16:50] Kakimoto
    One more lap!
[16:52] Mob 1
    Kyoto Fushimi's ahead of Sohoku!
[16:56] Midousuji
    You seem desperate, bean.

    But I can see it.
[17:02] Midousuji
    I can see myself raising my hands in victory!

[17:12] Daitsubu
    Naruko...
[17:14] Kakimoto
    Honestly, I want Naruko to win.
[17:18] Kakimoto
    The way he stretched for the
    finish line was the real deal.
[17:22] Daitsubu
    Me, too. He's a pure sprinter.
[17:25] Daitsubu
    And the third time's the charm.
[17:31] Daitsubu
    Naruko, you can do it!
[17:38] Naruko
    What is this? I was supposed
    to pull ahead and win.
[17:42] Naruko
    But he caught up.
[17:44] Naruko
    He caught up and passed me.
[17:47] Naruko
    Why is Idiot-suji riding so far ahead of me?
[17:51] Naruko
    I'm the one who knows this track!

    But so what? I'll win!
[18:48] Naruko
    I'll do everything I can and win!
[18:52] Mob 1
    He threw away his water bottle!
[18:54] Kakimoto
    He's making himself lighter for the sprint!
[18:58] Daitsubu
    He zipped up his jersey to
    reduce his wind resistance!
[19:04] Mizuta
    He even threw away his saddle!
[19:07] Naruko
    I will win!

    He's made himself as light as possible!
[19:10] Kakimoto
    I don't believe it.

    I did it.
[19:57] Midousuji
    If I lost here, no matter
    how cutting-edge the change,
[19:59] Midousuji
    it couldn't be called an evolution.
[20:04] Midousuji

    I was able to do that for six years because I
[05:07] Fukutomi
    had someone as strong as you

    How are you going to take
    responsibility for that?

    Izumida-san zipped up his jersey!
[08:10] Club B
    He's declaring war on the third-years!
[08:13] Fukutomi
    Izumida.
[08:14] Toudou
    Now you've said it.
[08:16] Arakita
    Kuroda, Ashikiba, and Manami, huh?
[08:19] Shinkai
    Nice. We should answer their challenge.
[08:22] Shinkai
    Besides...
[08:25] Club A
    There it is! It's Shinkai-san's ka-pow pose!
[08:31] Fukutomi
    Go, Shinkai!
[08:32] Izumida
    Follow me, Yuki, Ashikiba, Manami!
[08:38] Club A
    Th-They're so fast!
[08:39] Fujiwara
    Pedal, first-years!
[08:41] Fujiwara
    If you fall behind now,
    you'll never catch up!
[08:44] All
    Yes, sir!
[08:45] Shinkai
    Go!
[08:51] Ashikiba
    They're so fast.
[08:54] Kuroda
    This isn't good.
    They're pulling ahead a little bit.
[08:57] Kuroda
    What should we do, Touichirou?
[08:58] Ashikiba
    What? That's not a little.
[09:00] Ashikiba
    They're pretty far ahead of us, Yuki-chan.
[09:02] Kuroda
    I wasn't being literal. I meant
    the opposite of what I said.
[09:05] Kuroda
    Learn to read the atmosphere, stupid.
[09:07] Ashikiba
    How rude. There's nothing stupid about me.
[09:10] Kuroda
    That's what makes you stupid!
[09:12] Kuroda
    Ninety percent of stupid people
    don't realize they're stupid
[09:15] Kuroda
    and find out from the Ministry of
    Internal Affairs and Communications.
[09:17] Ashikiba
    Really?
[09:18] Kuroda
    Of course not! It's a joke!
[09:19] Kuroda
    You should've known!
[09:21] Ashikiba
    D-Do you...
[09:23] Ashikiba
    think I'm one of those people?
[09:26] Kuroda
    I told you, it's not true!
[09:28] Kuroda
    Who would even investigate that?
[09:30] Kuroda
    Don't let the name of the Ministry
    make you doubt yourself so much!
[09:34] Izumida
    Are you finished with your
    comedy routine, Ashikiba, Yuki?
[09:37] Kuroda
    For now.
[09:39] Ashikiba
    That was a comedy routine?
[09:41] Kuroda
    What are we going to do?
[09:43] Izumida
    Follow them, of course.
[09:46] Manami
    I'll pull.
[09:48] Manami
    I can't lose any more.
[09:57] Manami
    I can't make the same mistake twice.
[10:02] Manami
    I promise I'll win.
[10:05] Manami
    I'll pull until my legs fall apart.
[10:07] Manami
    I'll catch up to them!
[10:09] Manami
    Let me lead us to victory!
[10:11] Izumida
    No, it's fine. Head to the back.
[10:14] Manami
    Why? I'll pull for us.
[10:16] Izumida
    Fall back.
[10:17] Manami
    I know I'm a climber, but—
[10:19] Kuroda
    What's this?
[10:22] Kuroda
    According to the Ministry's investigation,
    there's another idiot in the group.
[10:28] Kuroda
    He's aloof, smiley, and absent-minded.
[10:32] Kuroda
    But he's unbelievably fast on hills.
[10:35] Kuroda
    To borrow Arakita-san's words,
    he's a wonder boy.
[10:41] Izumida
    Yuki...
[10:46] Kuroda
    You've been working too hard
    since the Inter-High, Sangaku!
[10:51] Kuroda
    A first-year shouldn't be shouldering
    that kind of responsibility.
[10:53] Kuroda
    Just say there was a pebble in the
    road or make some other excuse.
[10:58] Kuroda
    You pushed past me to attend the Inter-High.
[11:01] Kuroda
    You didn't win the group F race
    that day because you had guts.
[11:06] Kuroda
    It was your bottomless focus.
[11:10] Kuroda
    But what about now? The burden you're
    carrying is making you unsteady.
[11:15] Kuroda
    You're unfocused,
    and your pedaling is a mess.
[11:19] Kuroda
    You're a climber, but you
    want to pull on the flats?
[11:22] Kuroda
    You're supposed to be the guy who says
    he's too tired to pull when he's told to!
[11:25] Manami
    Kuroda-san...
[11:27] Kuroda
    Quit putting on airs and working so hard.
[11:30] Kuroda
    Are you trying to look bigger than you are?
[11:31] Kuroda
    Are you an idol who can't wait to grow up?
[11:34] Kuroda
    Let the others handle the flats.
[11:38] Kuroda
    These seaside flats will end soon.
[11:41] Kuroda
    There are mountains waiting
    for us after that.
[11:44] Kuroda
    That's when we climbers can go wild.
[11:50] Kuroda
    That's what Touichirou was trying to say.
[11:58] Izumida
    You finally smiled.
[12:00] Izumida
    Fall back and rest.
    Resting improves your focus.
[12:07] Izumida
    Right, Manami?
[12:12] Manami
    Yes, sir.
[12:15] Izumida
    I prepared these for today's race.
[12:18] Kuroda
    Is it a map?
[12:20] Izumida
    They're number tag stickers.
[12:22] Ashikiba
    Wow.
[12:24] Manami
    Single digit?
[12:25] Kuroda
    You're starting to act like
    a captain, Touichirou.
[12:29] Izumida
    Ace #1, Ashikiba!
[12:31] Ashikiba
    You're making me nervous.
[12:33] Izumida
    Number 2, Yuki!
[12:34] Kuroda
    Crap, that's Arakita-san's number.
[12:37] Izumida
    Number 3 is for our climber, Manami!
[12:39] Manami
    That's Toudou-san's number.
[12:42] Izumida
    And my number tag is the
    one I've always wanted.
[12:47] Izumida
    The number of Hakone Academy's
    fastest rider, #4!
[12:51] Izumida
    After them!
[12:52] Kuroda
    Yeah!
[12:54] Club A
    The captain's group is accelerating now!
[12:56] Fujiwara
    Follow them!
[12:57] Izumida
    Abs, abs, abs, abs!
[13:08] Shinkai
    I thought we had pulled pretty far ahead.
[13:10] Shinkai
    That's odd. I guess we hadn't.
[13:15] Izumida
    Abs, abs, abs, abs!
[13:17] Kuroda
    I see them, Touichirou. It's the third-years.
[13:17] Izumida
    Abs, abs, abs, abs!
[13:20] Izumida
    We'll beat them.
[13:26] Kuroda
    Let's go.
[13:26] Both
    Yeah!
[13:31] Shinkai
    Izumida, you know about
[13:33] Shinkai
    the demon of Hakone that
     appears on straight roads...
[13:36] Shinkai
    Don't you?
[13:37] Izumida
    Abs! Let's go, Andy!
[13:41] Izumida
    Frank!
[13:43] Izumida
    Come...
[13:45] Izumida
    Fabian!
[13:49] Shinkai
    Bring it on, Izumida!
[13:54] Izumida
    My cells are trembling.
    My heart won't stop pounding.
[13:59] Izumida
    I'm about to race against him.
[14:03] Izumida
    He used to be so far out of reach.
    Those days were so long.
[14:13] Izumida
    Are you ready?
[14:15] Izumida
    Show me the best you can do!
[14:20] Izumida
    Abs, ready...
[14:22] Izumida
    Go!
[14:23] Izumida
    Abs, abs, abs, abs, abs!
[14:26] Club A
    It's Hakone Academy's Demon
    of the Straight Road!
[14:28] Club B
    Shinkai-san began his counterattack
    after the captain's group caught up!
[14:32] Club C
    And Izumida-san reacted instantly
    with his Full-Body Muscle Sprint!
[14:35] ---
    Abs! Abs! Abs!
[14:37] Club A
    They're both continuing to accelerate!
[14:41] Takadajou
    Such incredible acceleration!
    They're on a different level!
[14:44] Kuroda
    You're a first-year, aren't you?
[14:46] Takadajou
    Yes, sir. I'm Takadajou.
[14:49] Takadajou
    I wanted to experience the third-years'
    last race and how Izumida-senpai rides.
[14:56] Takadajou
    But I can't keep up.
[14:58] Kuroda
    You've got guts.
[15:00] Takadajou
    Um, what about Shinkai-san and Izumida-san?
[15:05] Kuroda
    Once we turn right
[15:06] Kuroda
    at the intersection at Kawazu,
    the flats of this seaside road will end.
[15:12] Kuroda
    Right under the giant sign in front of it,
[15:15] Kuroda
    there's a white line that's
    just like a finish line.
[15:19] Kuroda
    They'll be riding all-out to that line.
[15:22] ---
    Abs! Abs! Abs!
[15:24] Izumida
    Shinkai-san!
     Abs, abs, abs, abs, abs!
[15:26] Izumida
    I will surpass you!
[15:27] Shinkai
    Izumida!
[15:30] Shinkai
    Bring it on!
[15:32] Izumida
    Abs, abs, abs, abs!
[15:49] Izumida
    Abs, abs, abs, abs!
[15:51] Shinkai
    I'm pulling ahead.
    Will you fall behind, Izumida?
[15:57] Izumida
    My back muscles are the spring.
    They're the biggest muscles in the body.
[16:03] Izumida
    The back muscles!
[16:05] Izumida
    They pull the arms through the shoulders
    and turn the legs through the buttocks.
[16:09] Izumida
    They're the source of all muscles.
[16:13] Izumida
    Fierce and grand! The father of all muscles!
[16:17] Izumida
    That is Fabian!
[16:21] Izumida
    Abs! Turn...
[16:24] Izumida
    Fabian!

    Abs, abs, abs, abs!
[16:32] Izumida
    Abs, abs, abs, abs!
[16:35] Shinkai
    Izumida, you were a great junior to me.
[16:41] Shinkai
    You were honest, serious,
    and always kept up with me.
[16:49] (Flashback) Izumida
    Shinkai-san, may I join you?
[16:52] (Flashback) Shinkai
    Sure.
[16:55] Shinkai
    You were persistent.
[17:01] (Flashback) Izumida
    I can't beat him!
[17:05] (Flashback) Izumida
    Next time, Shinkai-san.
[17:10] (Flashback) Izumida
    Shinkai-san...
[17:12] (Flashback) Izumida
    Shinkai-san!
[17:14] Shinkai
    I secretly enjoyed watching you grow.
[17:22] Izumida
    Shinkai-san!
[17:27] Izumida
    Five kilometers left.
[17:30] Izumida
    We're getting closer.
[17:30] ---
    Abs! Abs! Abs!
[17:32] Izumida
    Each time my muscles turn the crank...
[17:35] Izumida
    Each time my tires kick against the ground...
[17:38] Izumida
    I get closer to the end of my time with you.
SIGN    Kawazu City
[17:42] Izumida
    Two kilometers left.
[17:43] Izumida
    Abs, abs, abs, abs, abs!
[17:47] Izumida
    One kilometer...
[17:49] Izumida
    Abs, abs, abs, abs!
[17:53] Izumida
    I will surpass him.
[17:56] Izumida
    It's the final stretch. Give me
    your strength, Andy, Frank, Fabian!
[18:01] Shinkai
    Shit, my legs are falling off. But...

[18:09] Shinkai
    It's the final stretch! Pedal!

    That's it!

[18:19] Izumida
    Why? Why am I crying?
[18:34] Izumida
    That's it.
[18:38] Izumida
    That's it. This is...
[18:49] Izumida
    ...what it means...
[18:52] Izumida
    ...to surpass someone you admire.
[19:01] Shinkai
    You've grown, Touichirou.
[19:07] Izumida
    I did it! Abs!
[19:17] Izumida
    Thank you, Shinkai-san.
[19:21] Izumida
    In our final race, I rode
    with your #4 on my chest.
[19:30] Shinkai
    Don't steal that. That's my number.
[19:34] Shinkai
    But I guess it's time I let you have it.
[19:46] Izumida
    Thank you!
[19:51] Izumida
    I have one last question.
[19:53] Izumida
    Shinkai-san, why did you smile then?
[19:59] Shinkai
    Yeah, I wonder why.
[20:02] Shinkai
    I was just having so much
    fun that I couldn't contain it.
[20:17] Shinkai
    The climber and ace stages
    are after this one.
[20:21] Izumida
    Yes, sir.
[20:26] Toudou
    Let's have one last race.
[20:29] Toudou
    Come with me. I'll give
    you a workout, Manami.
[20:33] Manami
    Yes, sir.
[20:37] Fujiwara
    It's time.
[20:39] Club D
    Huh?
[20:40] Fujiwara
    On this course, after the
    right turn at Kawazu...
[20:49] Fujiwara
    ...waits Amagihara Pass, the tallest
    peak on the Izu Peninsula.
[20:55] Club D
    Toudou-san and Manami?
[20:56] Fujiwara
    That's right.
[20:57] Fujiwara
    You'll never see a race between Hakone
    Academy climbers like this one again.
[21:03] Fujiwara
    Not that we'll be able to watch it.
[21:06] Club D
    Let's ask them how it went later.
[21:08] Fujiwara
    Yeah.
[21:12] Toudou
    There's a mountain ahead of us. Let us climb.
[21:17] Toudou
    To the highest point on this road,
    the place closest to the sky.
[21:22] Toudou
    Let's race to see who gets there first.
[21:25] Toudou
    Don't hold anything back, Manami Sangaku.
[21:29] Manami
    Yes, sir.
[21:31] Toudou
    Attack me anytime.
[21:33] Toudou
    I'll crush each and every
    one of your attempts.
[23:13] Shinkai
    Jinpachi, Yasutomo's glaring at you.
[23:17] Toudou
    I don't mind.
[23:18] Toudou
    Now, what will you do?
    You're in check, Kuroda.
[23:22] Arakita
    Don't let him beat you, Kuroda. Get him.
[23:26] Manami
    The tension is intense.
[23:33] Shinkai
    Usakichi!

    Go as hard as you can, Manami.
[01:37] Toudou
    What's wrong?
[01:38] Toudou
    If you see an opening, come and get me.
[01:40] Manami
    Toudou-san is fast.
[01:43] Manami
    His movements are perfectly efficient.
[01:45] Manami
    He climbs like he's sliding along.
[01:48] Manami
    He accelerates without making a sound.

[01:50] Manami
    He pulls ahead without anyone realizing it.

    His only inefficiency is...
[01:56] Toudou
    Are you overwhelmed by my
    Sleeping Climb, Manami Sangaku?
[02:00] Toudou
    What's wrong? Aren't you going to attack?
[02:03] Toudou
    Are you just going to let me win?
[02:05] Toudou
    Both this race and in
    popularity with the girls?
[02:07] Manami
    ...how much he talks.
[02:10] Toudou
    You just thought I needlessly
    speak too much, didn't you?
[02:15] Toudou
    I'm your senior, you know.
[02:16] Manami
    His intuition is sharp, too.
[02:19] Toudou
    Well? Can we agree I'm more
    popular with the girls?
[02:24] Manami
    What? That's all?
[02:26] Manami
    Well, uh... Okay.
[02:29] Toudou
    Good.
[02:30] Manami
    He seems satisfied.
[02:33] Manami
    Maybe I'll go now while I have the chance.
[02:36] Toudou
    By the way, Manami, have you been
    keeping in touch with Four-Eyes?
[02:50] Manami
    No, I've... been busy.
[02:55] Toudou
    Really? I'd been wondering about that.
[02:57] Manami
    We're racing!
[02:59] Toudou
    What did you do with that thing he
    gave you after the award ceremony?
[03:03] Announce
    The last bus heading down the
    mountain will be leaving at...
[03:06] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    Um, T-Toudou-san, I'm looking for Manami-kun.
[03:11] (Flashback) Toudou
    Manami?
[03:13] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    I-I promised I'd return this to him
    if I attended the Inter-High.
[03:19] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    It was originally Manami-kun's.
[03:22] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    He helped me when I was having
    trouble in the mountains.
[03:26] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    Thanks to this, I've been able to work hard.
[03:29] (Flashback) Toudou
    So you're connected by fate, huh?
[03:34] (Flashback) Toudou
    Manami!
[03:36] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    Manami-kun, here.
[03:38] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    I, uh... Thank you so much.
[03:41] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    Thanks to you, I—
    I'm not sure how to thank you, but...
[03:49] Toudou
    What did you do with that bottle?
[03:52] Manami
    I threw it away.
[03:54] Manami
    Hakone Academy placed second because he won.
[03:59] Manami
    Because I told him to come to the Inter-High.
[04:02] Manami
    Because that day...
[04:06] Manami
    I helped him by giving him that water bottle!
[04:08] Manami
    How could I keep that bottle around?
[04:13] Toudou
    I see. Let me ask you something, then.
[04:16] Toudou
    If you had known that would happen,
[04:19] Toudou
    and found him collapsed in the mountains,
    what would you have done?
[04:24] Toudou
    Would you not have helped him?
[04:29] Toudou
    No, you would have.
[04:31] Toudou
    You can't ignore a person who's having
    trouble in the mountains, Manami Sangaku.
[04:38] Toudou
    It means you didn't make the wrong choice.
[04:41] Toudou
    It takes only a moment,
    and there's no going back.
[04:47] Toudou
    You gave everything you
    had and lost. That's all.
[04:54] Toudou
    If the past continues to make
    you suffer, it's simple.
[04:58] Toudou
    Take off your jersey.
[05:02] Toudou
    I told you to
[05:06] Toudou
    ride freely, Manami.
[05:11] Toudou
    After all, it's the riding
    style that suits you best.
[05:16] Toudou
    It makes me sick to watch you hide in your
    cocoon and worry about reason and rank.
[05:21] Toudou
    When you ride that way, you're hardly
    my rival when it comes to girls!
[05:29] Manami
    Toudou-san...
[05:30] Toudou
    I can tell.
[05:32] Toudou
    Onoda-kun has already
    become important to you.
[05:37] Toudou
    He'll be someone you compete with.
[05:41] Toudou
    You'll help each other grow
    and make each other stronger.
[05:47] Toudou
    Take good care of him.
[05:49] Toudou
    Call him every day.
[05:51] Manami
    Every day?
[05:55] Toudou
    I'm jealous you have someone to envy and despise.
[06:02] Toudou
    Your rival is close enough that you
    can see and race with him anytime.
[06:12] Manami
    Toudou-san...
[06:14] Toudou
    There's not much left.
[06:18] Toudou
    Give me everything you've got,
    Manami Sangaku!
[06:23] Manami
    Yes, sir.
[06:30] Toudou
    That's it. That expression, Manami.
[06:34] Toudou
    That's the one you should wear.
[06:46] Toudou
    I can't let you take the mountains, though.
[06:49] Toudou
    I am the Mountain God, Toudou Jinpachi!
[06:56] Manami
    You're amazing, Toudou-san.

    Thank you.

[07:18] Ashikiba
    Four men left.
[07:20] Kuroda
    I withdrew during the mountains
    all for this moment.
[07:24] Kuroda
    We'll show you our backs at the finish line.
[07:29] Arakita
    You sure do talk a lot, Kuroda.
[07:38] Kuroda
    I was overflowing with talent.
[07:48] (Flashback) Student
    Yeah!
[07:49] (Flashback) Student
    That's the tenth point he's scored! Amazing!
[07:52] (Flashback) Student
    Come to next week's game, too, Kuroda.
[07:54] (Flashback) Kuroda
    Sorry. The baseball team asked
    me to play for them next week.
[08:02] Kuroda
    No matter the sport, I improved
    faster than anyone else.
[08:06] (Flashback) Student
    Apparently, the baseball team
    won the district tournament!
[08:10] (Flashback) Student
    Kuroda-senpai!
[08:12] (Flashback) Student
    I heard he beat a high school
    team with the swim club, too!
[08:15] (Flashback) Student
    Maybe he'll go to the Olympics!
[08:18] Kuroda
    They called me a sports genius.
[08:23] Kuroda
    I started riding bikes in grade school
    at a friend's invitation.
[08:27] Kuroda
    I was exceptional at that, too.
[08:29] (Flashback) Kuroda
    You're slow. Twist your body more.
[08:33] (Flashback) Kuroda
    I'll be waiting for you at the top, Izumida.
[08:35] (Flashback) Izumida
    Wait, Kuroda-kun.
[08:39] Kuroda
    Bike riding, huh? This isn't bad.
[08:42] Kuroda
    Other sports like basketball and baseball
    can only be played in designated areas.
[08:49] Kuroda
    But as long as there's a road,
    you can ride a bike anywhere.
[08:55] Kuroda
    A cage is too cramped for
    my talent to explode in!
[09:02] (Flashback) Kuroda
    I've made my decision, Izumida.
[09:05] (Flashback) Kuroda
    I'm going to ride bikes.
[09:08] (Flashback) Kuroda
    I'll go to Hakone Academy
    for high school with you.
[09:12] (Flashback) Izumida
    Kuroda-kun...
[09:14] Kuroda
    Izumida was serious. He was never
    late and never missed class.
SIGN    Difficult Book
[09:17] Kuroda
    His grades were good, and he was always
    reading difficult books I'd never heard of.
[09:22] Kuroda
    Honestly, he wasn't great at
    sports besides bike riding.
[09:27] Kuroda
    But his passion for bikes was absolute.
[09:31] (Flashback) Kuroda
    Teach me all the little rules, Touichirou.
[09:35] (Flashback) Izumida
    Okay.
[09:36] (Flashback) Student
    Kuroda, we heard you're
    going to Hakone Academy.
[09:38] (Flashback) Student
    Is it for bike racing?
[09:39] (Flashback) Student
    You'll be a regular in no time.
[09:43] (Flashback) Kuroda
    I'll place first at the Inter-High.
[09:48] Kuroda
    Everyone wanted me to do well at
    the prestigious Hakone Academy.
[09:53] Kuroda
    Which I thought was only natural.
[09:56] (Flashback) Student
    First-years, line up!
[09:57] (Flashback) All
    Yes, sir!
[09:59] Kuroda
    Until he appeared.
[10:03] (Flashback) Arakita
    You guys stink.
[10:13] (Flashback) Arakita
    I'll smell every one of you.
[10:18] (Flashback) Student
    Stink? You mean sweat?
[10:20] (Flashback) Arakita
    You smell like you'll quit right away.
[10:23] (Flashback) Student
    What?
[10:25] (Flashback) Arakita
    You smell like you'll
    start skipping right away.
[10:27] (Flashback) Student
    What?
[10:33] (Flashback) Arakita
    You have promise.
[10:35] (Flashback) Arakita
    You smell like a hard worker.
[10:37] (Flashback) Izumida
    What?
[10:38] (Flashback) Izumida
    Th... Thank you!
[10:42] (Flashback) Arakita
    Shut up! You're too loud, idiot!
[10:44] (Flashback) Kuroda
    Senpai, how do I smell?
[10:47] (Flashback) Arakita
    Huh?
[10:49] Kuroda
    Exceptional talent? Immediate regular?
[10:53] (Flashback) Kuroda
    Do you smell anything?
[10:55] (Flashback) Arakita
    Yeah.
[10:57] (Flashback) Arakita
    You smell like a shitty elite.
[10:59] (Flashback) Arakita
    A stinking ball of pride.
[11:03] (Flashback) Arakita
    You stink like someone who thinks he's
    a superstar at the center of the world.
[11:10] (Flashback) Arakita
    I bet you've mastered all kinds of
    sports with that cool body of yours.
[11:16] (Flashback) Arakita
    Are you sure you won't quit cycling?
[11:19] (Flashback) Arakita
    And say something like,
    "Basketball is the real me"?
[11:24] (Flashback) Kuroda
    That's not true!
[11:29] Kuroda
    He's fast. And he stopped just a hair short.
[11:33] Kuroda
    If he had extended his elbow another
    millimeter, he would've hit me in the face.
[11:38] (Flashback) Arakita
    Was I right?
[11:40] (Flashback) Arakita
    Did you get mad because
    I was right, first-year?
[11:44] (Flashback) Arakita
    Looks like I was right on the money.
[11:47] (Flashback) Kuroda
    Take it back.
[11:49] (Flashback) Arakita
    Bike riding is unforgiving and plain.
[11:52] (Flashback) Arakita
    Talent's not enough to get you anywhere.
[11:54] (Flashback) Arakita
    It'll make you want to quit.
    Every day is difficult.
[11:58] (Flashback) Arakita
    If you can play all kinds of sports,
    you'll end up running to one of those.
[12:04] (Flashback) Arakita
    Are you sure you can ride
    a bike, you little baby?
[12:08] (Flashback) Kuroda
    Let go!
[12:11] (Flashback) Arakita
    What's wrong? Did you see a mosquito?
[12:15] (Flashback) Arakita
    I won't fight you.
[12:17] (Flashback) Arakita
    Fuku-chan told me not to.
[12:20] (Flashback) Kuroda
    I hate guys like you!
[12:26] (Flashback) Kuroda
    You're all talk!
[12:27] (Flashback) Kuroda
    You're always looking for
    ways to upset people!
[12:29] (Flashback) Kuroda
    You're not even strong,
    but you rely on violence!
[12:32] (Flashback) Izumida
    Kuroda-kun...
[12:33] (Flashback) Student
    Yikes.
[12:36] (Flashback) Arakita
    I told you I was right.
[12:40] (Flashback) Arakita
    Fine.
[12:42] (Flashback) Arakita
    I'll take you on anytime.
[12:45] (Flashback) Arakita
    I'll show you how I ride when
    all I have is cycling!
[12:52] Kuroda
    That was how I met Arakita Yasutomo-san.
[12:55] Arakita
    I can smell it. I smell the finish line.
[12:59] Arakita
    We're getting closer to our last finish line!
[13:03] Arakita
    Fuku-chan!
[13:05] Fukutomi
    Yeah.
[13:07] Arakita
    Bring it on, Kuroda!
[13:11] Kuroda
    Arakita-san's razor-sharp cornering
    is his greatest strength.
[13:17] Kuroda
    He's hardly applying the brakes.
[13:18] Kuroda
    Only when he feels the
    load will lose out to the
[13:21] Kuroda
    sideways G's does he brake for a moment.
[13:23] Kuroda
    He's exceptionally good
    at it, but that's not all.
[13:28] Kuroda
    He rides like his life depends on it.
[13:30] Kuroda
    Keep up, Ashikiba!
[13:35] Kuroda
    I abandoned the mountains.
    I withdrew from that race...
[13:38] Kuroda
    To take this finish line.
[13:42] Kuroda
    To reach the first line in the parking
    lot at the bottom of this hill.
[13:50] Kuroda
    And for one more thing.
[13:52] Kuroda
    To overcome you today!
[13:58] Izumida
    It should be soon.
[14:00] Izumida
    It's about the right time.
[14:02] Shinkai
    You're right.
[14:03] Shinkai
    I wonder if Juichi and Yasutomo will win.
[14:06] Izumida
    We won't lose.
[14:09] Izumida
    Yuki—Kuroda-kun is a climber,
[14:12] Izumida
    but he should've hung back during
    the mountain stage in order to
[14:14] Izumida
    help the team achieve victory.
[14:17] Shinkai
    You two are close, right?
[14:19] Izumida
    Our houses are close.
[14:21] Izumida
    In the past, he would've charged ahead.
[14:24] Izumida
    But he's changed since then.
[14:29] Izumida
    Instead of seeing himself as the center,
[14:32] Izumida
    he's started viewing himself as
    a part of the rest of the world.
[14:36] Izumida
    His ability to determine the appropriate
    action he should take in those situations
[14:39] Izumida
    has become extremely accurate.
[14:41] Izumida
    He quit playing basketball
    and baseball for fun.
[14:45] Izumida
    He started focusing on cycling.
[14:48] Izumida
    He can do it.
[14:49] Izumida
    I should know.
[14:52] Izumida
    He's always had great potential.
[14:55] Arakita
    Kuroda!
[14:58] Kuroda
    Arakita-san!
[15:00] Arakita
    His smell has changed.
    Is he going to go for it now?
[15:04] Kuroda
    I'll overtake you.
[15:08] Kuroda
    I'll overtake you!
[15:15] Arakita
    He kept up with my corner entry!
[15:19] Arakita
    What's up with those legs?
[15:21] Arakita
    How are they so flexible?
[15:25] Arakita
    You're still pedaling?
[15:27] Kuroda
    Arakita-san, I hated you.
[15:32] Kuroda
    When I lost our first race,
    I seriously thought about hitting you.
[15:36] Kuroda
    I didn't want to admit you
    were right, so I trained.
[15:42] (Flashback) Kuroda
    Damn it. Why?
[15:44] Kuroda
    But I couldn't win.
[15:46] Kuroda
    That's why I made up my mind.
[15:49] (Flashback) Arakita
    What did you want to talk about, Kuroda?
[15:53] (Flashback) Arakita
    Huh?
[15:57] (Flashback) Kuroda
    Tell me how I can get stronger!
[16:00] (Flashback) Kuroda
    Please, Arakita-san!
[16:02] Kuroda
    I asked you directly how to become stronger.
[16:06] (Flashback) Arakita
    Ha, idiot!
[16:08] (Flashback) Arakita
    Don't think you can get whatever
    you want just by bowing.
[16:14] (Flashback) Arakita
    But...
[16:15] (Flashback) Arakita
    Your desire must be pure if you're willing
    to bow your head to the guy you hate most
[16:20] (Flashback) Arakita
    in order to become stronger.
[16:22] (Flashback) Arakita
    Not bad.
[16:24] (Flashback) Arakita
    You managed to throw away your pride.
[16:27] (Flashback) Kuroda
    What?
[16:29] (Flashback) Arakita
    Steal someone else's way to get stronger.
[16:32] (Flashback) Arakita
    That's what I did.
[16:34] (Flashback) Arakita
    You can do that, can't you?
[16:37] (Flashback) Arakita
    That's the type of person you are.
[16:42] Kuroda
    Arakita-san, I only have
    gratitude for you now.
[16:47] Kuroda
    From you, I learned the joy
    of being single-minded!
[16:52] Arakita
    Took you long enough, Kuroda.
[16:55] Arakita
    I can't believe you're
    just growing now, idiot.
[17:00] Arakita
    Sorry, Fuku-chan! I let them get ahead of us!
[17:04] Fukutomi
    Five hundred meters left!
[17:07] Kuroda
    Go, Ashikiba!
[17:07] Arakita
    Go, Fuku-chan!
[17:10] Kuroda
    Fukutomi-san's fast!
[17:14] Arakita
    You got ahead of me on the last turn.
[17:18] Arakita
    I wasn't expecting that.
[17:22] Arakita
    But I'm not complimenting you.
[17:24] Arakita
    What are you, stupid?
[17:26] Arakita
    You took too long to go all out, idiot.
[17:30] Kuroda
    Arakita-san...
[17:32] Kuroda
    That's plenty.
[17:34] Kuroda
    Thank you.
[17:37] Ashikiba
    Yuki-chan, thank you for your superb
    pulling and this superb position.
[17:43] Ashikiba
    I'll win. Don't worry.
[17:46] Ashikiba
    There's classical music
    playing inside my head!
[17:57] Ashikiba
    My pulse is pounding.
[18:00] Ashikiba
    My body is overjoyed.
[18:02] Ashikiba
    My heart is dancing,
    telling me to spring forward.
[18:09] Ashikiba
    Swing the baton in time with the rhythm
[18:13] Ashikiba

    He's starting a spurt.
    It's his Metronome Dancing.
[18:31] Ashikiba
    Sorry. I'm going to win, Fukutomi-san.
[18:34] Ashikiba
    I never let anyone beat me twice.
[18:39] Fukutomi
    Is he trying to go even faster?
[18:41] Ashikiba
    That's the job of Hakone Academy's ace.
[18:47] Fukutomi
    Ashikiba!
[19:12] Ashikiba
    I finally won.
[19:18] Ashikiba
    I-I won.
[19:22] Ashikiba

[19:24] Fukutomi
    Yeah.
[19:29] Arakita
    How could you lose, Fuku-chan?
[19:33] Arakita
    Don't laugh at me.
[19:34] Kuroda
    Yeah! Nicely done, Ashikiba.
[19:38] Kuroda
    I'll pay you a million yen later as a bonus.
[19:41] Ashikiba
    R-Really?

    No.
[19:45] Kuroda
    Hey, come on. You can't
    actually be disappointed.

    Oh, no, no, no...
[05:18] Aya
    Are you nervous about being in a new class?
[05:21] Aya
    Pull yourself together.
    You're a national champion.
[05:24] Sakamichi
    No, no, no...
[05:25] Imaizumi
    You should take the picture.
[05:28] Sakamichi
    Imaizumi-kun...
[05:30] Imaizumi
    Chances like that don't come along often.
[05:32] Sakamichi
    Imaizumi-kun's in my new second-year class.
[05:37] Sakamichi
    Okay, then. Maybe I'll
    take one if you say so.
[05:42] Naruko
    Hold up, hold up!
[05:45] Naruko
    Aren't you guys forgetting someone?
[05:47] Naruko
    The flashiest and most important man!
[05:49] Naruko
    You can't take a photo without me.
[05:54] Sakamichi
    Naruko-kun?
[05:57] Naruko
    The genius Speedman of Naniwa,
    Naruko Shoukichi of Class 2-3.
[06:04] Naruko
    I asked the teachers to
    put us in the same class.
[06:08] Naruko
    But it was a near miss. I'm in Class 3.
[06:11] Imaizumi
    Did you really do that?
[06:13] Naruko
    What do you think of my hair?
[06:14] Naruko
    I wanted to look like a
    bullet shooting forward.
[06:17] Naruko
    Cool, right? Flashy, right?
[06:19] Naruko
    It's the new Naruko.
[06:23] Naruko
    Hey, what are you doing?
[06:24] Naruko
    It's back to normal!
[06:26] Imaizumi
    Before you started wasting time on your hair,
[06:29] Imaizumi
    were you doing what you have to do?
[06:36] Naruko
    Don't think I came back from
    Osaka unscathed that day.
[06:42] Sakamichi
    Since the day he returned from riding
    in some kind of race in Osaka...
[06:48] Sakamichi
    Even I can tell Naruko-kun's focus
[06:51] Sakamichi
    during practice has changed.
[06:55] Sakamichi
    Tremendously so.
[06:56] Naruko
    I'll show you just how much of a genius I am.
[07:00] Naruko
    You just wait for the real
    new Naruko Shoukichi.
[07:03] Naruko
    It's still in development.
[07:06] Naruko
    And when it's finished,
    it'll scare the crap out of you.
[07:11] Imaizumi
    Really? Will your development be finished
    in time for the summer's Inter-High?
[07:16] Naruko
    Oh, easily.
[07:19] Naruko
    Although if it were you,
    it'd probably take until winter.
[07:22] Aya
    Those two sure are close.
[07:25] Miki
    I know.

    No, we're not!

[07:56] Teshima
    Honestly, it'll be a difficult year.
[08:00] Teshima

[09:50] Imaizumi
    Rather than practicing with a heavy load,
[09:53] Imaizumi
    you'll learn more through frequent practice.
[09:57] Imaizumi
    That's your style, Sugimoto.
[10:02] Sugimoto
    Thank you, Imaizumi.
[10:03] Sugimoto
    Since I'm an experienced rider,
    I knew I couldn't go easy on myself.
[10:09] Imaizumi
    I'm just giving you hints.
[10:11] Imaizumi
    You're the one who has to do it.
[10:13] Imaizumi
    You don't need to thank me.
[10:16] Imaizumi
    I was surprised when you came to me at the
    end of last year and begged me to teach
[10:19] Imaizumi
    you how to become stronger, though.
[10:22] Sugimoto
    I'm serious about this.
[10:25] Sugimoto
    I saw what Onoda did at the Inter-High and
    how everyone in the team believes in him.
[10:30] Sugimoto
    Even when they were battered,
    they never gave up.
[10:34] Sugimoto
    Anyone would be inspired by that.
[10:37] Sugimoto
    After all, I'm still a

[10:42] Imaizumi
    That side of you is still annoying.

    Besides, my brother is joining the team.
[10:48] Sugimoto
    I want to stay ahead of him.
    I can't let him beat me.

    I should be a role model for him.

[11:00] Sugimoto
    What do you think?
    Have I gotten any stronger?
[11:05] Imaizumi
    You haven't noticed?
[11:08] Imaizumi
    You are getting stronger, one step at a time.

    going to forget the course.

    It must be in the club room.
    There was one in there.
[12:53] Sakamichi
    The first-year race is about to start.
[12:57] Sakamichi
    I'm not going to be riding,
    but I can sense how nervous they all are.
[13:02] Sakamichi
    I'm anxious to watch them, too.
[13:05] Sakamichi
    Oh, right.
[13:09] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    Starting tomorrow,
    we're second-years, Onoda-kun.
[13:11] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    Huh?
[13:13] (Flashback) Naruko
    Since we practiced over spring break,
    there isn't really a clear distinction.
[13:18] (Flashback) Naruko
    But tomorrow is the opening ceremony.
    We'll become second-years.
[13:21] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    Yeah.
[13:22] (Flashback) Naruko
    Even though nothing seems to have
    changed, we'll have juniors.
[13:27] (Flashback) Naruko
    Some of our seniors have left, too.
[13:30] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    Yeah.
[13:33] (Flashback) Naruko
    We can't stay on the bottom forever.
[13:36] (Flashback) Naruko
    We'll have to look after
    them and lift them up.
[13:39] (Flashback) Naruko
    We'll have to cheer them up
    when they're feeling down,
[13:42] (Flashback) Naruko
    and praise them when they do well.
[13:44] (Flashback) Naruko
    Just like our seniors did for us.
[13:49] (Flashback) Naruko
    Oh, right. Onoda-kun, this is your first
    time being a second-year in a club, right?
[13:55] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    Yeah.
[13:56] (Flashback) Naruko
    Then let me tell you something.
[13:58] (Flashback) Naruko
    I was in a club during middle school, too.
[14:02] (Flashback) Naruko
    Even though you can thank your seniors,
    you can't do for them what they did for you.
[14:08] (Flashback) Naruko
    So pass on their kindness to your juniors.
[14:12] Sakamichi
    My juniors...
[14:14] (Flashback) Naruko
    That's how your feelings pass
    from one guy to another.
[14:21] Sakamichi
    To my juniors.
[14:26] Sakamichi
    D-Despite what he said, during the three
    weeks leading up to the first-year race...
[14:33] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    Are you a first-year?
[14:35] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    I'm second-year Onoda.
[14:36] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    If there's anything you don't know, just ask.
[14:40] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    You! Just ask!
[14:49] (Flashback) Sohoku
    Oh, no! Did we make him mad?
[14:51] Sakamichi
    I failed to act like a senior!
[14:56] Sakamichi
    Naruko-kun's talking smoothly
    with the first-years.
[15:00] Sakamichi
    I have to do something.
[15:04] Sakamichi
    I know. Their backs.
[15:06] Sakamichi
    I can energize them by
    slapping them on the back.
[15:11] Sohoku A
    Sorry, sorry!
[15:12] Sohoku B
    What did you do?
[15:15] Sakamichi
    Oh, it's not... um...
[15:16] Sakamichi
    This isn't good. They're afraid of me.
[15:20] Sakamichi
    You had a speck of dust on your shoulder!
[15:24] Sakamichi
    Y-You... dust.
[15:27] Sakamichi
    Piece of dust.
[15:30] Sohoku B
    Onoda-san is terrifying!
[15:32] Sakamichi
    No!
[15:35] Teshima
    You seem to be having fun, Onoda.
[15:39] Sakamichi
    T-Teshima-san...
[15:40] Teshima
    Want to give it a try?
[15:42] Sakamichi
    Huh? Try what?
[15:44] Teshima
    Thed starter.
[15:47] Teshima
    Kinjou-san did it last year, remember?
[15:49] Sakamichi
    Oh, I couldn't.
[15:51] Sakamichi
    It's an important responsibility.
[15:53] Sakamichi
    That's the captain's job.
[15:55] Teshima
    Everyone's expecting great things from you.
[15:56] Teshima
    During these three weeks, rumors about
    you have spread among the first-years.
[16:01] Sakamichi
    I knew it.
[16:03] Sakamichi
    Do they think I'm weird?
[16:04] Teshima
    You're the living legend
    of the first-year race.
[16:07] Sakamichi
    What?
[16:09] Teshima
    You won the first-year race's
    mountain stage as a beginner
[16:13] Teshima
    and rose to the level of the
    Inter-High in the blink of an eye.
[16:16] Teshima
    You're the man who won the general
    classification for Sohoku.
[16:19] Teshima
    You understand what it means
    for you to be the starter.
[16:23] Imaizumi
    Just so you know...
[16:25] Imaizumi
    All the first-years ask
    are questions about you.
[16:29] Sakamichi
    What?
[16:30] Imaizumi
    The first-years don't talk to
    you because you're too amazing.
[16:35] Imaizumi
    So only you can do it.
[16:37] Imaizumi
    Raise their spirits.
[16:41] Imaizumi
    Show them how you feel.
[16:44] Sakamichi
    How I feel...
[16:48] Sohoku
    It's Onoda-san.
[16:50] Sohoku
    Onoda-san is starting the race?
[16:53] Sakamichi
    Everyone!
[16:54] All
    Yes, sir!
[16:57] Sakamichi
    Do your best.
[16:59] Sakamichi
    Good luck.
[17:00] Sohoku B
    Yes, sir!
[17:01] Sakamichi
    Good luck.
[17:02] Sohoku C
    I'll do my very best!
[17:03] Sakamichi
    Good luck.
[17:05] Sakamichi
    Good luck.
[17:06] Sadatoki
    Thank you, Onoda-san.
[17:10] Naruko
    He's got them really excited.
[17:12] Imaizumi
    That idiot. It's already past time.
[17:21] Sakamichi
    Did I even imagine that day...
[17:25] Sakamichi
    That I would meet Kanzaki-san,
    Imaizumi-kun, and Naruko-kun?
[17:30] Sakamichi
    That this race I participated in
    right after joining the club...
[17:34] Sakamichi
    That first step
[17:36] Sakamichi
    would lead me to such an expansive world?
[17:40] Sakamichi
    So to all the first-years...
[17:44] Sakamichi
    The first-year welcoming race
[17:49] Sakamichi
    will now begin!
[17:53] Sakamichi
    Good luck.
[17:57] Sakamichi
    Sugimoto-kun?
[17:58] Sugimoto
    Teshima-san gave me permission
    to ride in the race.
[18:03] Sugimoto
    I'm going to take first and
    become Sohoku's sixth man.
[18:09] Sakamichi
    What?
[18:12] Sakamichi
    Teshima-san, Sugimoto-kun is...
[18:16] Teshima
    Yeah, I gave him permission.
[18:18] Sakamichi
    He said he was going to become the
    sixth man of the Inter-High team.
[18:23] Teshima
    I saw that in his eyes.
    That's why I gave him permission.
[18:29] Imaizumi
    How could you not,
    after seeing that serious face?
[18:34] Naruko
    Sugimoto's an interesting guy.
[18:35] Naruko
    Naturally, he must be aiming for first.
[18:37] Sakamichi
    That's what he said.
[18:38] Naruko
    Declaring he'll win a
    race against his juniors?
[18:41] Naruko
    It may seem easy, but it's not.
[18:44] Naruko
    But he must know that.
    After all, he's an experienced rider.
[18:53] Sugimoto
    The city stage has a lot of traffic lights,
    so we'll take it slow here.
[18:57] Sugimoto
    My second first-year race has started.
[19:02] Sugimoto
    There's no turning back now.
[19:05] Sugimoto
    I'm a second-year, too.
    I'll show them what I can do.
[19:09] Sugimoto
    I'll win my first race ever.
[19:12] Sugimoto
    This is how I'll win.
[19:14] Sugimoto
    My style favors long rides, so I'll take
    the lead partway through the race, and...
[19:17] Gori
    Senpai!
[19:20] Sawada
    Don't you think we're going too slow?
[19:22] Sugita
    Sawada, Gorizo...
[19:24] Gori
    I'll switch with you.
[19:26] Sawada
    Me, too.
[19:27] Sugimoto
    Wait! Go slower!
[19:29] Sugimoto
    We're still in the city!
[19:41] Sugimoto
    There's no passing until
    we reach the rice paddies!
[19:43] Sugimoto
    Didn't you see that signal? Stop!
[19:47] Sawada
    We saw it, but we're riding fast
    anyway to pull away from the pack.
[19:53] Sawada
    Senpai, don't you want to win, too?
[19:58] Sugimoto
    I...
[19:59] Sawada
    The three of us can rotate
    until the finish line.
[20:04] Sawada
    No one's watching.
[20:08] Sawada
    Come on, Senpai.
[20:12] Sugimoto
    I desperately want to win.
[20:19] Sugimoto
    But I reject your offer.
[20:21] Sugimoto
    No matter what, I never break the rules.
[20:27] Sugimoto
    Now reduce your speed
    and wait for the others.
[20:31] Naruko
    Sawada and Gorizo will be
    the first to make a move.
[20:34] Naruko
    But they're cunning.
[20:38] Naruko
    I hope Sugimoto doesn't
    accept any shady offers.
[20:40] Imaizumi
    Don't worry about him.
[20:42] Imaizumi
    He's more serious than he looks.
[20:49] Imaizumi
    Although whether or not he'll win
    is a different matter entirely.
[20:56] Sugimoto
    Once we cross the bridge,
    the real race will start.
[21:01] Sugimoto
    What?
[21:04] Teshima
    The favorites in this race should
    be making their move now.
[21:11] (Flashback) Kaburagi
    I have a request.
[21:14] (Flashback) Teshima
    What is it?
[21:15] (Flashback) Kaburagi
    I heard you hold a first-year race.
[21:19] (Flashback) Teshima
    Yeah.
[21:21] (Flashback) Kaburagi
    If Danchiku and I take first and second,
[21:24] (Flashback) Kaburagi
    can you guarantee we'll
    be on the Inter-High team?
[21:29] (Flashback) Teshima
    Sure, I promise.
[21:31] (Flashback) Teshima
    You're on the team if you
    finish first and second.
[21:37] Sugimoto
    Kaburagi and Danchiku...
[21:39] Sugimoto
    They're fast!
[23:14] Naruko
    We're finally second-years.
[23:17] Sakamichi
    I hope I can talk to the first-years.
[23:20] Naruko
    We're counting on you, Onoda-senpai.
[23:24] Sakamichi
    L-Leave it to me, Naruko-senpai.
[23:29] Imaizumi
    What are guys doing? Hurry up and eat.
[23:31] Both
    Sorry, Imaizumi-senpai.

[00:06] Toji
    Hey, look.
[00:09] Naruko
    The first-years have already scattered.
[00:13] Naruko
    Someone must've raised the pace
    and broken the group apart.
[00:17] Teshima
    Probably.
[00:18] Teshima
    And a fake attack couldn't
    have scattered them this much.
[00:22] Teshima
    It's someone who can maintain a high
    average speed over a long period of time.
[00:25] Teshima
    It must be the experienced first-years...

[00:34] (Flashback) Kaburagi
    Sorry, Onoda-senpai!
[00:36] (Flashback) Kaburagi
    Forgive me for being rude on
    the first day of the school!
[00:39] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    It's fine! I'm not worried about it.
[00:42] (Flashback) Kaburagi
    You forgive me?
[00:46] (Flashback) Imaizumi
    You should make him obligated to you.
[00:49] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    Uh, if you're so worried about it,
    why don't you show me
[00:54] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    with your riding at the
    upcoming first-year race?
[00:57] (Flashback) Kaburagi
    I'll show you...
[01:00] Kaburagi
    ...exactly how I ride!
[01:05] Rider A
    Kaburagi and Danchiku are riding alone!
[01:08] Rider B
    No, someone's going after them! Who is it?
[01:11] Rider A
    That jersey...
[01:16] Teshima
    We still can't see the front.
[01:18] Toji
    They're riding pretty fast.
[01:20] Sakamichi
    We've passed most of the first-years.
[01:25] Sakamichi
    Have Kaburagi-kun and Danchiku-kun
    already won the first-year race?
[01:31] Imaizumi
    We have passed most of the first-years, but...
[01:34] Imaizumi
    we haven't passed any second-years yet.
[01:39] Teshima
    I see the front!
[01:41] Teshima
    It's Kaburagi and Danchiku!
[01:42] Teshima
    And there's one more guy!

    Sugimoto-kun!

[03:25] Teshima
    Who wears the remaining one will
    be determined in this first-year race.
[03:32] Sakamichi
    Sugimoto-kun is amazing.
[03:34] Naruko
    Not bad, Sugimoto.
[03:38] Sugimoto
    Quit trembling!
[03:41] Sugimoto
    I'll become the sixth man.
[03:43] Sugimoto
    I'll be in the Inter-High.
[03:45] Sugimoto
    I'll wear this jersey.
[03:49] Naruko
    He's sticking right to them.
[03:50] Sakamichi
    Sugimoto-kun's dancing with intensity.
[03:52] Naruko
    Sugimoto's still keeping up.
[03:54] Naruko
    He's not dropping his pace.
[03:56] Sakamichi
    Amazing.
[03:57] Naruko
    Hey, hotshot, don't you have anything to say?
[04:00] Naruko
    That's our Sugimoto.
[04:01] Imaizumi
    Not really.
[04:02] Both
    What?
[04:03] Imaizumi
    He still has a lot to learn.
[04:04] Naruko
    Talk about unpleasant.
[04:06] Naruko
    Go on being a hotshot forever, hotshot.
[04:11] Imaizumi
    He hasn't shown his true strength yet.
[04:16] Naruko
    What's going on? He's breaking
    away from the group.
[04:18] Naruko
    Aw, no.
[04:19] Naruko
    Is he out of strength? He's wobbling.
[04:22] Naruko
    What on earth is he doing?
[04:30] Naruko
    No way! He passed Kaburagi and Danchiku!
[04:35] Naruko
    And he's pulling ahead of them!
[04:36] Naruko
    He's trying to break away!
[04:40] Sakamichi
    Amazing.
[04:41] Imaizumi
    Sugimoto...
[04:41] Naruko
    He's accelerating! Seriously?
[04:43] (Flashback) Imaizumi
    I heard you're going to ride
    in the first-year race.
[04:46] (Flashback) Sugimoto
    Yeah. Thanks for all your help, Imaizumi.
[04:51] (Flashback) Sugimoto
    I don't have time to worry about
    being a second-year or my pride.
[04:56] (Flashback) Sugimoto
    I know it's an unreasonable request, but I...
[05:03] (Flashback) Sugimoto
    Actually, the rest is just
    my delusion, so forget it.
[05:07] (Flashback) Sugimoto
    I'll do my best.
[05:09] (Flashback) Imaizumi
    I see. Good luck.
[05:11] (Flashback) Sugimoto
    Yeah. Watch me from the van.
[05:15] Sugimoto
    I'll show you.
[05:18] Sugimoto
    I'd seen Imaizumi in several
    races in Chiba before.
[05:23] Sugimoto
    He was tall, cool, and
    the center of attention.
[05:27] Sugimoto
    I thought he and I had nothing in common.
[05:30] Sugimoto
    But we got into the same high
    school and joined the same club.
[05:34] Sugimoto
    Imaizumi, if I'm able to become the
    sixth man and ride in the Inter-High,
[05:39] Sugimoto
    I want to ride as hard as I can.
[05:43] Sugimoto
    I'll ride with all my might for
    the team, and in the end—
[05:46] Sugimoto
    Actually, this might be delusional.
[05:50] Sugimoto
    We're counting on you, Imaizumi!
[05:52] Imaizumi
    I know, Teru!
[05:56] Sugimoto
    I hope I can push your back
    just before the finish line.
[06:02] Sugimoto
    Imaizumi...
[06:05] Naruko
    He's pulling ahead again!
[06:07] Naruko
    Not bad, Sugimoto!
[06:08] Sakamichi
    But the guys behind him seem like
    they have a lot of strength left.
[06:14] Imaizumi
    You're exactly right, Onoda.
[06:17] Imaizumi
    It's not that they can't go after him.
[06:19] Imaizumi
    They're choosing not to.
[06:22] Sakamichi
    Why would they do that?
[06:23] Imaizumi
    They still have half the course left,
[06:25] Imaizumi
    and the second half includes
    the brutal Minegayama.
[06:28] Imaizumi
    If he's weak, then letting him get
    away won't have any consequences.
[06:31] Imaizumi
    He'll quickly exhaust himself
    and come falling back.
[06:33] Imaizumi
    Needlessly exerting themselves
    would be a waste.
[06:35] Imaizumi
    They have the advantage
    of ability and numbers.
[06:38] Imaizumi
    If it comes down to it, they can
    make up a few minutes' difference.
[06:41] Imaizumi
    That's what they're thinking.
[06:43] Imaizumi
    They're treating him like
    a bird inside a birdcage.
[06:46] Imaizumi
    No matter how much it flaps
    its wings, it can't fly.
[06:48] Imaizumi
    But that can lead to a sudden comeback
[06:53] Imaizumi
    when they miscalculate that bird's strength.
[06:56] Imaizumi
    Sugimoto is a weak sprinter.
[07:00] Imaizumi
    They must've thought the same thing.
[07:02] Imaizumi
    But his legs are built for long rides.
[07:06] Imaizumi
    He can maintain a high average
    speed over a long period of time.
[07:09] Imaizumi
    Sugimoto's probably gone much farther
    ahead than they're imagining.

    I can do it.
[07:26] Kaburagi
    This isn't good. This doesn't feel right.
[07:28] Kaburagi
    Danchiku, I judged him to be beneath our
    concern with the weak way he passed us.
[07:33] Kaburagi
    But his legs might be...
[07:37] Teshima
    There's no way they won't notice.
[07:42] Kaburagi
    Have you loosened up yet, Danchiku?
[07:44] Danchiku
    Yeah. That was enough to relax me.
[07:48] Kaburagi
    Danchiku's shackles are off.
[07:52] Danchiku
    Let's ride all out to catch him, Issa!
[07:55] Kaburagi
    Yeah, Danchiku!
[07:58] Kaburagi
    Go!
[08:00] Sakamichi
    They're fast!
[08:01] Naruko
    They made it to the dam in no time!
[08:05] Kaburagi
    We still haven't caught up yet, Danchiku.
[08:07] Kaburagi
    He's way faster than we thought.
[08:11] Kaburagi
    But we're even faster.
[08:14] Kaburagi
    When Danchiku's freed from
    the shackles of anxiety,
[08:16] Kaburagi
    he rides so quickly, I'd fall
    behind if I wasn't careful.

    If we'd been just a few minutes slower...

    You might've gotten us.

    just as hard for them!

    That was amazing. You were
    so passionate just now.

    Don't mock me.
[09:55] Imaizumi
    I was just telling him
    it's time to go for it.

    Telling him how he felt?

    These guys are carrying on the spirit
    of Sohoku High School, Kinjou.

    I'm not trying to provide
    Sugimoto any extra support.
[10:12] Imaizumi
    If he wins, it'll be because he caught up.

    He's desperately trying to catch up now,
    but there's no telling if he will.
[10:21] Sugimoto
    Be strong, be strong.
[10:27] Sugimoto
    I have to chase after them now.
[10:29] Sugimoto
    If I don't catch up, I don't stand a chance.

    I'm riding so I can claim
    one of those jerseys.

    My legs aren't strong enough to catch them.

    I was so excited, I leaped into the air.
[13:39] Kaburagi
    It blew away my concepts
    of "fast" and "strong."

    It was an awesome race.

    will ride in the Inter-High!

    Because I was shown that you
    were far stronger than me.

[15:59] Sakamichi
    And in the end, I hope someone on our team
     has the chance to finish first.
[16:04] Sakamichi
    Also, this is just me being greedy, but
    I'd like to report to the upperclassmen...
[16:11] Sakamichi
    To Makishima-san...
[16:13] Sakamichi
    That we did it.
[16:16] Kaburagi
    Report?
[16:20] Imaizumi
    You are greedy. You couldn't be greedier.
[16:25] Naruko
    We'll have to practice super hard, Onoda-kun.
[16:29] Sakamichi
    Yeah.

    was about to break and won together.

    It may seem unrefined, but that's
    how Sohoku High School races.
[16:45] Teshima
    Sound lame?
[16:46] Teshima
    Kaburagi, you already think
    you've won, even though
[16:50] Teshima
    you haven't broken the finish line's tape.
[16:52] Kaburagi
    What?
[16:53] Teshima
    Sugimoto, the man you passed and
    left behind, may be unreliable,
[16:58] Teshima
    but he possesses the spirit
    of Sohoku High School.
[17:01] Teshima
    If he hasn't given up on winning
    this race, then he'll come.
[17:07] Teshima
    He'll catch up to you.
[17:10] Kaburagi
    Is that a threat?
[17:11] Kaburagi
    That's impossible.
[17:13] Kaburagi
    In other words, you want me
    to stop talking and ride.
[17:17] Kaburagi
    I understand. Sorry!
[17:19] Kaburagi
    Let's head to the finish line, Danchiku!
[17:21] Danchiku
    Yeah!
[17:22] Teshima
    A threat?
[17:24] Teshima
    No.

    that happen plenty of times.

    Not yet. I won't give up yet.
[17:40] Sadatoki
    I see them, Brother! It's the van.
[17:42] Teshima
    I can't believe the brothers
    caught up together.
[17:45] Teshima
    This is unexpected.
[17:46] Sakamichi
    Sugimoto-kun caught up!
[17:51] Sugimoto
    I'll become the sixth man.
[17:53] Naruko
    Their synchronization is unbelievable.
[17:55] Sakamichi
    Amazing. Sugimoto-kun hasn't given up yet.

    and Danchiku on this climb will be key.
[18:09] Imaizumi
    Sugimoto... and his brother.
[18:12] Imaizumi
    The brothers' synchronization...
[18:14] Imaizumi
    When he came to practice before,
    their synchronization was inefficient.
[18:21] Imaizumi
    But now both of them have got it down.
[18:25] Imaizumi
    They must've practiced
    together for this moment.
[18:27] Imaizumi
    No.
[18:28] Imaizumi
    Sugimoto's will raised them up.
[18:31] Imaizumi
    It's this situation that gave rise to it.
[18:33] Sugimoto
    I'll become the sixth man.
[18:36] Sugimoto
    Go! Go, Sadatoki!
[18:38] Sadatoki
    Yeah, Brother!
[18:42] Sadatoki
    Brother, we'll catch up to
    Aburagi-kun and Danchiku-kun.
[18:47] Sugimoto
    I'm counting on you, Sadatoki.
    But it's Kaburagi.
[18:51] Sugimoto
    Thank you, Sadatoki.
[18:54] Sugimoto
    If you hadn't caught up to me then,
    I would've given up on this race.
[18:59] (Flashback) Sugimoto
    Sadatoki, how? Did you
    make it here on your own?
[19:04] (Flashback) Sadatoki
    Yeah.
[19:05] (Flashback) Sadatoki
    I wanted to ride with you, Brother.
[19:09] Sugimoto
    In that moment, I felt as though one strand
    of the broken string inside my heart
[19:14] Sugimoto
    was still connected.
[19:17] (Flashback) Sugimoto
    Sadatoki, can you keep riding?
[19:20] (Flashback) Sugimoto
    Kaburagi and Danchiku just passed me.
[19:23] (Flashback) Sugimoto
    I want to catch up and pass them again.
[19:27] (Flashback) Sugimoto
    Will you help me, Sadatoki?
[19:29] (Flashback) Sugimoto
    I want to go to the Inter-High
    as the sixth man.
[19:33] Sadatoki
    That was the first time. The first!
[19:35] Sugimoto
    What?
[19:36] Sadatoki
    You're cool and strong and know everything.
[19:40] Sadatoki
    You've always pulled me forward.
[19:42] Sadatoki
    But that's the first time
    you've asked me for something.
[19:47] Sadatoki
    So, I'll do it. I promise I'll take you there.
[19:52] Sugimoto
    Sadatoki!
[19:55] Sadatoki
    Also, um...
[19:58] Sadatoki
    You really do look cool in that jersey.
[20:01] Sadatoki
    It looks great on you, Brother!
[20:04] Sugimoto
    When you were little,
    you were such a crybaby.
[20:08] Sugimoto
    You followed me around saying,
    "I can't," and, "I'm not confident."
[20:14] Sugimoto
    It's okay. It's okay now, Sadatoki.
[20:18] Sugimoto
    You can do anything.
[20:20] Sugimoto
    Your brother can attest to that.
[20:23] Sugimoto
    Follow me. You can do it, Sadatoki.
[20:25] Sugimoto
    We'll cross the finish line together.
[20:30] Sadatoki
    Yeah!
[20:31] Sugimoto
    Even though Imaizumi tried to cheer
    me up, my legs stopped moving once.
[20:36] Sugimoto
    But Sadatoki saved me.
[20:40] Sugimoto
    For Sadatoki's sake, if it's still possible,
[20:43] Sugimoto
    I want to do my best to reel in
    this last thread one more time.
[20:49] Sugimoto
    One more time!
[20:54] Teshima
    Sugimoto caught up to Kaburagi and
    Danchiku just 50 meters before the peak!
[21:00] Naruko
    Sugimoto's amazing!
[21:02] Sakamichi
    Sadatoki-kun and Sugimoto-kun
    are both amazing!
[21:06] Toji
    Was this unexpected, too, Teshima?
[21:08] Teshima
    Road races certainly are
    fantastic, aren't they?
[21:15] Kaburagi
    Damn it! I underestimated them.
[21:18] Kaburagi
    Who's that big guy?
[21:19] Sugimoto
    Let's head to the finish line, Sadatoki!
[21:21] Sadatoki
    Yeah, Brother!
[21:23] Kaburagi
    Pedal harder! Faster, Danchiku!
[21:26] Teshima
    They're neck and neck at the peak!
[21:28] Teshima
    Now it's downhill to the finish line!
[23:03] Naruko
    I've been thinking, since we're the
    new generation of Sohoku High School,
[23:06] Naruko
    why don't we change our jersey's color?
[23:09] Naruko
    A flashy red would be cool.
[23:10] Imaizumi
    You have terrible taste. Blue is better.
[23:13] Naruko
    Then we'd be the same as
    Hakone Academy High School.
[23:16] Naruko
    Onoda-kun, what do you think?
[23:18] Sakamichi
    Well, red is flashy, but blue is cool.
[23:22] Sakamichi
    But I like yellow because it's
    a modest but noble color.
[23:27] Sakamichi
    I guess you could say it's
    simultaneously cool and cute.
[23:31] Sakamichi
    What do you guys think?
[23:33] Both
    Yellow's good.

SIGN    RIDE.11 Conclusion
[01:59] Naruko
    Now that they're on the downhill slope,
    Kaburagi and Danchiku are accelerating!
[02:02] Sakamichi
    Sugimoto-kun and his brother
    are falling behind!
[02:04] Teshima
    They're as good as you'd
    expect going downhill.
[02:08] Teshima
    What do you think will happen, Imaizumi?
[02:11] Imaizumi
    They'll fall behind.
[02:12] Sakamichi
    What?
[02:13] Imaizumi
    But they'll probably catch
    up on the next corner.
[02:22] Kaburagi
    Who are these guys?
[02:24] Sugimoto
    Don't let go. Don't let go, Sadatoki.
[02:26] Sugimoto
    Let's go to the finish line.
[02:28] Sadatoki
    Yeah.
[02:30] Imaizumi
    Team SS is a mixed team.
[02:33] Imaizumi
    Since their fifteen members are
    determined through races,
[02:36] Imaizumi
    they've probably never
    experienced that feeling...
[02:43] Imaizumi
    Of riding with your friends.
[02:45] Imaizumi
    Currently, Kaburagi and
    Danchiku are stronger.
[02:50] Imaizumi
    But if Sugimoto has any chance at victory,
[02:54] Imaizumi
    it's because their wavering spirits
    don't understand that feeling.
[02:58] Kaburagi
    They're not good.
[02:59] Kaburagi
    They're not supposed to be good.
[03:01] Kaburagi
    So how did they catch up?
[03:03] Kaburagi
    How are they neck and neck with us?
[03:07] Kaburagi
    Why are you riding in front of us?
[03:10] Danchiku
    Issa!
[03:13] Danchiku
    Don't waver!
[03:14] Danchiku
    Focus on the race!
[03:15] Danchiku
    You saw some guy pass you. That's all!
[03:18] ---
    Danchiku...
[03:19] Danchiku
    Face forward and think only of winning.
[03:21] Danchiku
    We can do this. Don't worry.
[03:24] Danchiku
    You're fast.
[03:27] Danchiku
    You've practiced hard.
[03:29] Danchiku
    You've endured thousands
    of difficult moments.
[03:32] Danchiku
    Aren't you going to race in the Inter-High?
[03:35] Danchiku
    So what's wrong with you?
[03:37] Danchiku
    Frolic more!
[03:39] Danchiku
    You're a genius, Kaburagi!
[03:46] Kaburagi
    That did the trick.
[03:48] Kaburagi
    I'm fast? I'm a genius?
[03:51] Kaburagi
    I know.
[03:53] Kaburagi
    I know that better than
    anyone else, Danchiku!
[03:56] Kaburagi
    Yeah!
[03:59] Danchiku
    Issa, I want to see you frolic like a child.
[04:05] Danchiku
    I want to see you refuse to
    shrink from strong opponents...
[04:09] Danchiku
    At this year's Inter-High.
[04:11] Danchiku
    That's why I'm riding with you.
[04:13] Danchiku
    Switch with me, Issa. I'll pull.
[04:15] Danchiku
    The downhill is ending.
[04:17] Danchiku
    I'll make sure you take first place!
[04:20] Sugimoto
    It's the final spurt! Dig deep, Sadatoki!
[04:23] Sadatoki
    Yeah!
[04:24] Sugimoto
    I'm not very good at goal sprints,
    but I'll overcome that weakness now.
[04:30] Sugimoto
    I don't have time for excuses.
[04:34] Teshima
    At the bottom of the hill
    is Fumotogaoka Park.
[04:37] Teshima
    There's a short 200-meter climb from there.
[04:42] Teshima
    It's the final goal sprint
    of the first-year race!
[04:47] Sakamichi
    Danchiku-kun's in front!
[04:49] Naruko
    Kaburagi-kun's behind him!
    They're going for the one-two finish!
[04:53] Sakamichi
    Sadatoki's falling back!
[04:56] Kaburagi
    We're going to the Inter-High, Danchiku!
[04:59] Kaburagi
    We'll finish first and second!
[05:03] Naruko
    From behind Danchiku, who was
    pulling with all his strength...
[05:07] Danchiku
    Go, Issa!
[05:08] Naruko
    The Kaburagi Super Express
    is leaving the station!
[05:11] Kaburagi
    Follow me, Danchiku!
[05:13] Kaburagi
    It's ours. It's perfect.
[05:16] Kaburagi
    We're going to make
    Sohoku High School stronger.
[05:20] Kaburagi
    Come, Danchiku! It's just us now!
[05:23] Danchiku
    Yeah!
[05:27] Danchiku
    Pedal, Issa! Don't worry about me!
[05:30] Danchiku
    Pedal!
[05:31] Naruko
    Sugimoto passed him without
    any help from Sadatoki!
[05:35] Teshima
    It's a long sprint.
[05:36] Sakamichi
    Sugimoto-kun.
[05:38] Imaizumi
    Your strength is long rides.
[05:41] Imaizumi
    Sugimoto, are you making your
    last spurt a long sprint, too?
[05:47] Sadatoki
    Sorry I couldn't help
    you in the end, Brother.
[05:51] Sugimoto
    Thank you, Sadatoki.
[05:53] Sugimoto
    If you hadn't pulled for me, I wouldn't
    have caught up to them on Minegayama.
[05:58] Sugimoto
    Thank you, Imaizumi.
[06:00] Sugimoto
    If you hadn't pushed my back then,
    I would've given up.
[06:06] Sugimoto
    I haven't done a single thing.
[06:08] Sugimoto
    Not a single thing.
[06:11] Sugimoto
    So...
[06:13] Teshima
    Sugimoto!
[06:15] Both
    He caught up!
[06:17] Kaburagi
    You can't be serious!
[06:19] Teshima
    Only forty meters left!
[06:24] Kaburagi
    I never realized how difficult it would be
    to prove I'm the fastest man in this race.
[06:30] Teshima
    Twenty meters left!
[06:31] Kaburagi
    Who the hell is this guy?
[06:33] Kaburagi
    He should just fall back already.
[06:35] Kaburagi
    How long will he endure?
[06:36] Kaburagi
    Until we reach that line?
[06:38] Teshima
    Ten!
[06:39] Sugimoto
    It's the goal. The finish line.
[06:41] Sugimoto
    I'll throw everything away if
    it means I'll reach it first!
[06:45] Kaburagi
    No way! I'm the man who will
    surpass Onoda Sakamichi!
[06:50] Sugimoto
    I'm going to be the sixth...
[06:53] Sugimoto
    The sixth man!
[07:00] Kaburagi
    Yeah!
[07:10] Sakamichi
    Sugimoto-kun!
[07:11] Teshima
    Are you okay, Sugimoto?
[07:15] Sugimoto
    I felt it.
[07:17] Sugimoto
    I was looking down when I crossed
    the finish line, so I couldn't tell.
[07:22] Sugimoto
    But I...
[07:25] Sugimoto
    I won.
[07:28] Sugimoto
    I took first, right?
[07:32] Naruko
    He didn't hear Kaburagi yell.
[07:38] Sugimoto
    I did it! I'm going to the Inter-High!
[07:42] Sugimoto
    I did it! I did it!
[07:45] Sugimoto
    I did it!
[07:47] Imaizumi
    Sugimoto.
[07:50] Imaizumi
    You did your best.
[07:51] Sugimoto
    I did it.
[07:54] Sugimoto
    I did it, Imaizumi. Thank you.
[07:57] Sugimoto
    Thank you, thank you.
[07:59] Sugimoto
    Words can't express how grateful I am.
[08:05] Sugimoto
    Huh?
[08:07] Sugimoto
    Why do you all look so uneasy?
[08:11] Sugimoto
    Is it because you don't want
    me to be the sixth man?
[08:14] Sugimoto
    Don't worry. I can do it.
[08:17] Sugimoto
    I, Sugimoto Terufumi,
    will become even stronger.
[08:37] Kaburagi
    We did it.
[08:50] Sugimoto
    I see.
[08:53] Sugimoto
    I wasn't first.
[08:57] Sakamichi
    B-But you were amazing.
[09:01] Sakamichi
    Sugimoto-kun, you were amazing.
[09:02] Naruko
    It's true.
[09:04] Naruko
    You rode really well.
[09:06] Naruko
    I was shouting when you caught up at the end.
[09:09] Naruko
    Seriously.
[09:15] Sugimoto
    That was close. Second, huh?
[09:19] Sugimoto
    That was truly close.
[09:23] Sugimoto
    I almost had it.
[09:24] Sugimoto
    Even I was confused.
[09:28] Sugimoto
    Sorry, guys. Did I get your hopes up?
[09:32] Sugimoto
    Sorry, sorry.
[09:34] Sakamichi
    Teshima-san, Sugimoto-kun did his best.
[09:37] Sakamichi
    He tried really, really hard.
[09:39] Sakamichi
    So, uh...
[09:42] Sakamichi
    Why don't we wait until the training camp
     to decide the Inter-High team?
[09:48] Teshima
    Until the training camp?
[09:49] Sakamichi
    Last year, Kinjou-san ultimately decided—
[09:52] Sugimoto
    Onoda...
[09:56] Sugimoto
    I was in this race with a different intention.
[10:01] Sakamichi
    Sugimoto-kun...
[10:03] Sugimoto
    Teshima-san gave me a chance
    to ride in this race.
[10:10] Sugimoto
    His condition was that I take first.
[10:16] Sugimoto
    It was my last chance.
[10:19] Sugimoto
    Ultimately, though, there is no next time.
[10:23] Sugimoto
    I couldn't do anything.
[10:29] Imaizumi
    Sugimoto...
[10:31] Imaizumi
    You worked diligently every day.
[10:35] Imaizumi
    You're the only one who kept up
    with their initial acceleration.
[10:38] Imaizumi
    You're the one who followed
    Sadatoki through the mountains
[10:41] Imaizumi
    and caught up to them again.
[10:43] Imaizumi
    During the final downhill
    sprint to the finish line,
[10:47] Imaizumi
    it wasn't because of anyone else's
    strength or thanks to anyone else.
[10:50] Imaizumi
    You're the one who was riding.
[10:51] Imaizumi
    Be proud. You had the
    strongest ride in this race.
[10:56] Sugimoto
    Thanks, Imaizumi.
[10:59] Sugimoto
    Sorry I couldn't win after all the advice you gave me.
[11:04] Sugimoto
    I'm going to go cool down.
[11:08] Sadatoki
    Brother...
[11:12] Imaizumi
    Sugimoto, I don't care if you win or
    lose as long as the team gets stronger.
[11:19] Imaizumi
    Or so I thought, but...
[11:23] Imaizumi
    During the final sprint,
    I was hoping you'd win.
[11:31] Sugimoto
    I'm tired. I'm exhausted.
[11:35] Sugimoto
    I got second.
[11:36] Sugimoto
    I did everything I could.
[11:40] Sugimoto
    I did everything I could!
[11:51] Teshima
    That was an impressive victory, Kaburagi.
[11:53] Kaburagi
    Thanks.
[11:55] Teshima
    But since Danchiku placed third, you didn't
    fulfill our agreement that a one-two finish
[11:59] Teshima
    meant both of you could become members.
[12:03] Teshima
    Will you ride alone?
[12:05] Kaburagi
    Yes, sir.
[12:07] Danchiku
    Good, Issa.
[12:11] Teshima
    Get stronger.
[12:12] Kaburagi
    Yes, sir.

    Yes, sir.

    Sohoku High School team.
[12:51] Kaburagi
    I did it, I did it!
[12:53] Kaburagi
    I did it!
[12:56] Kaburagi
    Naturally, I intended to become a member,
    but now that I am one, I'm ecstatic.
[13:01] Kaburagi
    I tried on my jersey a
    bunch of times yesterday.
[13:04] Danchiku
    Keep it down. Everyone will hear you.
[13:08] Kaburagi
    Listen to this! I'm going
    to be in the Inter-High!
[13:10] Danchiku
    He's shouting even louder?
[13:12] Kaburagi
    As one of the champions,
[13:14] Kaburagi
    I'll lead Sohoku High School to
    our second consecutive victory.
[13:20] (Flashback) Kaburagi
    Thank you!
[13:21] Kaburagi
    He was strong. If the finish line had
    been five meters closer, I would've lost.
[13:27] Kaburagi
    I seriously respect him.

    Push Imaizumi's back.

    No, wait. Could you please
    get Kaburagi-kun for me?

    Guess I'll go to the club room.

    Since they have all kinds of clubs,
    I should do something.

[15:57] Kinjou
    What are you mumbling about, Arakita?
[16:02] Kinjou
    Did you go to class because you
    didn't know it was canceled?
[16:04] Arakita
    Shut up. And if you knew,
    you should've emailed me.
[16:07] Kinjou
    I don't have your address.

    Interesting.

    Let's show them the power
    of Younan University.
[16:44] Arakita
    We're a really mismatched duo, though.
[16:47] Kinjou
    Maybe not.
[16:50] Arakita
    Anyway, did you hear? This year's
    Inter-High is going to be on that slope.
[16:56] Kinjou
    That slope, huh?
[16:57] Arakita
    I'm glad it wasn't last year.
[17:00] Arakita
    Climbing that slope is exhausting.
[17:02] Arakita
    How do you think Sohoku High School will do?
[17:04] Kinjou
    They've already picked out
    all six of their members.
[17:07] Arakita
    That was quick.
[17:08] Kinjou
    Captain Teshima probably intends
    to use that time to increase
[17:11] Kinjou
    the team's strength as a whole.
[17:14] Arakita
    That Teshima guy's pretty smart.
[17:18] Arakita
    But I heard Izumida's been putting Hakone
    Academy High School through hellish training.
[17:24] Kinjou
    Sounds tough.

[17:54] Sakamichi
    I went to your classroom this
    morning, but I missed you. Today—
[17:58] Kaburagi
    I heard from Teshima-san.
[18:00] Kaburagi
    We're doing individual training, right?

    Great.

    I went during lunch, too,
    but you weren't there.

    You'll be practicing one-on-one with Onoda.

    Learn all you can from him.
[18:14] (Flashback) Teshima
    The practice follows a race format.
[18:15] (Flashback) Teshima
    The course is simple, running from the
    front gate and up the rear gate slope.

    If you see an opening, pass him.
[18:22] Sakamichi
    Wh-Where did you go for lunch?
[18:25] Kaburagi
    You could've left a message
    with one of my classmates
[18:28] Kaburagi
    to come see you during the next break.
[18:31] Sakamichi
    I couldn't do that.
    I wanted to tell you directly.
[18:35] Kaburagi
    I'll listen to your orders.
[18:37] Kaburagi
    After all, I'm your junior.
[18:39] Sakamichi
    Sorry. Are you mad?
[18:41] Kaburagi
    I'd apologize.
[18:42] Sakamichi
    Sorry.
[18:43] Sakamichi
    He's mad. Why is he mad?
[18:48] Sakamichi
    Huh? Kaburagi-kun?
[18:50] Sakamichi
    Juniors are so difficult to handle.
[18:53] Kaburagi
    My classmates told me—damn it.
[18:57] Kaburagi
    That Onoda's pathetic.
[18:59] Kaburagi
    That he's unreliable, scrawny, and weak.
[19:03] Kaburagi
    They made fun of me for looking up to him!
[19:08] Kaburagi
    Damn it!
[19:10] Kaburagi
    Can't he be a more dignified senior?
[19:12] Kaburagi
    He's embarrassing me!
[19:15] Sakamichi
    Sorry.
[19:18] Kaburagi
    Onoda-san, when did you get there?
[19:20] Kaburagi
    Crap! S-Sorry...
[19:22] Kaburagi
    Did you hear me talking to myself?
[19:24] Kaburagi
    I was riding all-out.
[19:28] Sakamichi
    Yeah, sorry. From around
    "where my classmates told me."
[19:33] Kaburagi
    He kept up with me from the beginning?
[19:37] Sakamichi
    Sorry. I'm not much of a senior, am I?
[19:41] Sakamichi
    But I intend to do my best for the team.
[19:45] Kaburagi
    This is crazy. My whole body is shaking now.
[19:50] Kaburagi
    Are there lots of other guys
    like him at the Inter-High?
[19:54] Kaburagi
    Excuse me, uh...
[19:56] Kaburagi
    C-Could you ride as hard as you can?
[20:00] Sakamichi
    Th-This practice is about
    riding as hard as we can.
[20:03] Sakamichi
    Of course I will. Right!

    Okay.

    He's fast. What is this?!
[20:15] Kaburagi
    Is this him really climbing?
[20:17] Kaburagi
    It took only a moment.
[20:18] Kaburagi
    What's going on with this guy?
[20:20] Kaburagi
    This pressure's been flowing out
    of his whole body since he started.
[20:24] Kaburagi
    I've never met someone so fast going uphill.
[20:27] Kaburagi
    This guy who looked so small
    at school looks huge now.
[20:34] Kaburagi
    I can't beat him. I don't
    think I can beat him.
[20:36] Kaburagi
    Racing against him is totally
    different from watching him.
[20:40] Kaburagi
    This is his high-cadence climb. Amazing!
[20:45] Sakamichi
    Keep up.
[20:46] Kaburagi
    Yes, sir.
[20:47] Kaburagi
    You truly are amazing, Onoda Sakamichi-san.

    You think Kaburagi's flustered around now?
[20:58] Teshima
    Probably.

    Most people are when they experience
    Onoda's riding firsthand.

[07:41] (Flashback) Danchiku
    It's now or never! Go, Issa!
[07:45] (Flashback) Danchiku
    Frolic more, Genius Kaburagi!
[07:49] Kaburagi
    Give me praise. Tell me what to do.
[07:51] Kaburagi
    Lift me up, Danchiku!
[08:05] Kaburagi
    Oh, right. The training camp.
[08:07] Kaburagi
    Damn it. The first-year amateurs
    passed me at some point.
[08:11] Kaburagi
    That means I'm last!
[08:14] Kaburagi
    D-Damn it. My cleat won't snap in.
[08:17] Imaizumi
    You're not last.
[08:21] Imaizumi
    You're being lapped.
[08:23] Kaburagi
    While I was spacing out...
[08:26] Kaburagi
    They finished one lap on this
    five-kilometer circuit course!
[08:31] Naruko
    Hotshot, you've got some
    pretty lame-looking wheels.
[08:35] Naruko
    What's wrong? Did you lose your allowance?
[08:38] Imaizumi
    Yeah, when I went into town the other day.
[08:41] Imaizumi
    Don't worry about it.
[08:43] Naruko
    I feel sorry for you.
[08:45] Naruko
    But honestly, my wheels look lamer.
[08:49] Naruko
    Don't worry about me, though.
[08:51] Imaizumi
    Kaburagi!
[08:52] Imaizumi
    What's wrong? I thought
    you were going to beat us.
[08:56] Imaizumi
    Pass us! If you place sixth
    at this training camp,
[09:00] Imaizumi
    you won't be any use to us at the Inter-High.
[09:04] Kaburagi
    It's in!
[09:07] Kaburagi
    Damn, damn...
[09:10] Kaburagi
    Catch up! Catch up!
[09:19] Kaburagi
    Seriously?
[09:22] Danchiku
    Issa, are you all right?
[09:25] Kaburagi
    Danchiku.
[09:29] Kaburagi
    Danchiku, I don't have confidence.
[09:31] Kaburagi
    I'm not confident I can finish
    a thousand kilometers. I...
[09:46] Kaburagi
    Danchiku...
[09:48] Kaburagi
    This must be what they call "pressure."
[09:51] Kaburagi
    Now that I'm alone, I finally feel it.
[09:53] Kaburagi
    The pressure of having to ride
    a thousand kilometers...
[09:58] Danchiku
    You're letting it get to you.
[10:00] Kaburagi
    I can't do it.
[10:01] Danchiku
    Frolic, Issa.
[10:02] Kaburagi
    I can't.
[10:03] Kaburagi
    I have to stop riding.
[10:07] Danchiku
    I see two lights in you.
[10:10] Danchiku
    Two lights I don't have.
[10:13] Danchiku
    One is the explosive acceleration that comes
    from your focus before the finish line.
[10:18] Danchiku
    The other is your desire to
    beat anyone and everyone.
[10:22] Danchiku
    I'm the oldest of three siblings.
[10:25] Danchiku
    Maybe it's because my younger
    siblings are selfish,
[10:27] Danchiku
    but I tend to yield at crucial junctures.
[10:30] Danchiku
    As the youngest of four siblings,
    you can do what you want.
[10:33] Danchiku
    You've been spoiled.
[10:35] Kaburagi
    What? Is that really relevant
    right now, Danchiku?
[10:39] Danchiku
    Until now, you've acquired
    the things you wanted.
[10:42] Danchiku
    You do whatever it takes to acquire
    the things you really want.
[10:47] Kaburagi
    Buy it, please! Buy it!
[10:49] Danchiku
    You never let go until you get what you want.
[10:52] Kaburagi
    Is that relevant?
[10:54] Danchiku
    You flip over the shogi board
    when you're about to lose.
[10:57] Danchiku
    You even want to win at rock-paper-scissors.
[10:59] Kaburagi
    Wait, Danchiku! What are you talking about?
[11:02] Kaburagi
    Are you trying to finish me off
    when I'm already feeling down?
[11:04] Danchiku
    That mentality, which makes people
    dislike you in everyday life,
[11:08] Danchiku
    becomes an asset in the competitive world.
[11:11] Danchiku
    When you're pushed to your
    limit and nearly exhausted,
[11:14] Danchiku
    when your body is screaming,
[11:16] Danchiku
    your last remaining drop of
    mental strength tries to win.
[11:19] Danchiku
    That's talent.
[11:23] Kaburagi
    Talent...
[11:24] Danchiku
    That's right.
[11:26] Danchiku
    That's why I dream of you doing great things.
[11:29] Danchiku
    People don't recognize their
    talents for what they are.
[11:32] Danchiku
    To them, it's natural.
[11:37] Danchiku
    Notice it. Work hard.
[11:40] Danchiku
    I can't help you, but you
    can do it, Genius Kaburagi.
[11:45] Danchiku
    If you want to win,
    you'll find plenty of chances.
[11:49] Danchiku
    There's still easily more than
    900 meters left on this course.
[11:53] Kaburagi
    Sorry, Danchiku. There was
    something wrong with me.
[11:56] Kaburagi
    I'll do it. I'll show you.
[11:58] Kaburagi
    I'll do whatever it takes to
    cross the finish line first!
[12:03] Danchiku
    You recover quickly, too.
    That's another one of your talents.
[12:10] Sakamichi
    Naruko-kun! Imaizumi-kun!
[12:13] Naruko
    Hey, the latecomer's here.
[12:16] Naruko
    Onoda-kun, you're five
    laps behind. Pedal hard.
[12:19] Sakamichi
    Yeah. I'll have to ride
    more than you guys tonight.
[12:22] Sakamichi
    Anyway, that upperclassman's going
    to be riding with us this year.
[12:25] Sakamichi
    He rode here in the van with me.
[12:27] Sakamichi
    Koga-senpai!
[12:30] Naruko
    Koga-senpai?
[12:31] Naruko
    You mean that third-year with glasses
    who's always messing with machines?
[12:35] Imaizumi
    Last year he withdrew from the training
    camp because he said he couldn't keep up.
[12:40] Koga
    It's been two years since
    I've been on this course.
[12:44] Sakamichi
    He was really nice in the van.
[12:47] Sakamichi
    He was easy to talk to.
SIGN    Motion Sickness Relief
[12:49] (Flashback) Koga
    Want some? It's for motion sickness.
[12:51] Koga
    It works.
[12:53] Sakamichi
    Come to think of it, I heard
    Koga-senpai rode 980 kilometers
[12:57] Sakamichi
    at the training camp they
    had when he was a first-year.
[12:59] Naruko
    Nine hundred...
[13:01] Imaizumi
    ...and eighty?
[13:02] Kaburagi
    He quit riding with just
    twenty kilometers left? Why?
[13:09] Sakamichi
    Imaizumi-kun?
[13:11] Imaizumi
    Teshima-san!
[13:13] Imaizumi
    Apparently, Koga-senpai is participating.
[13:16] Teshima
    I know.
[13:17] Imaizumi
    Why didn't you tell us?
[13:19] Teshima
    Were you hoping for a list?
[13:21] Imaizumi
    Don't avoid the question.
[13:23] Imaizumi
    Koga-senpai didn't skip the
    training camp last year because
[13:28] Imaizumi
    he couldn't keep up, did he?
[13:31] Teshima
    You're right. That wasn't why.
[13:32] Teshima
    He was injured.
[13:45] Naruko
    What was that?
[13:47] Sakamichi
    Koga-senpai...
[13:48] Sakamichi
    He created so much wind pressure
    just by riding past us.
[13:51] Koga
    This year is my last
    chance at the Inter-High.
[13:55] Koga
    I came here because I wanted to participate.
[13:59] Koga
    If you're a baby who thinks
    you'll be able to participate
[14:01] Koga
    in the Inter-High just by finishing
    this course, step forward.
[14:05] Koga
    I'll crush you and wear your jersey.
[14:08] Koga
    I'll show you the burden of riding
    in the Inter-High... by force.
[14:13] Imaizumi
    Koga-senpai was in the
    Inter-High two years ago?
[14:19] Imaizumi
    But wait. Isn't finishing a thousand
    kilometers at this training camp
[14:23] Imaizumi
    one of our team's conditions
    for being in the Inter-High?
[14:25] Imaizumi
    That's why Onoda worked himself
    until he was exhausted last year.
[14:33] Teshima
    It was only twenty kilometers, but he
    didn't fulfill the conditions. So why?
[14:39] Teshima
    To cut to the chase,
    there were too many reasons.
[14:42] Teshima
    Koga shouldn't have ridden in
    the Hiroshima race that year.
[14:48] Teshima
    It's all in the past now.
[14:51] Teshima
    There's no point in rehashing it.
[14:53] Teshima
    To me and Aoyagi—no,
    Kinjou-san and the others,
[14:56] Teshima
    he was a significant member of the team.
[14:59] Teshima
    He was the most promising hope of our year.
[15:04] Imaizumi
    Koga-senpai was?
[15:06] Koga
    What's wrong?
[15:08] Koga
    Are those jerseys just for show,
    Naruko? Kaburagi? Onoda?
[15:12] Sakamichi
    Koga-senpai?
[15:14] Koga
    Or are you bewildered because the man
    who's always performing maintenance
[15:19] Koga
    in the corner of the club room
    is speaking so sharply to you?
[15:22] Naruko
    No, not at all.
[15:24] Koga
    That's why I wore this.
[15:26] Koga
    I didn't think I'd wear it again...
[15:29] Koga
    But I'm here with the resolve to wear this.
[15:34] Sakamichi
    He's wearing another jersey underneath.
[15:36] Koga
    It's the Sohoku High School Inter-High jersey
[15:39] Koga
    I wore to the Hiroshima race two years ago.
[15:42] Naruko
    Seriously? He was in the Inter-High?
[15:44] Kaburagi
    Koga-senpai!
[15:47] Koga
    I thought showing you this
    would be the fastest way.
[15:51] Sakamichi
    That jersey was in rough shape.
[15:54] Sakamichi
    Something must've happened
    at that Inter-High.
[15:58] Koga
    But to be honest, you're no match for me.
[16:06] Naruko
    What do you mean we're no
    match for you, Koga-senpai?
[16:13] Naruko
    He's trying to pull ahead!
    Let's stick to him, Onoda-kun! Showoff!
[16:18] Sakamichi
    Yeah!
[16:18] Kaburagi
    Yes, sir!
[16:29] Kaburagi
    He's fast.
[16:30] Sakamichi
    He's pulling like crazy, Naruko-kun.
[16:33] Naruko
    He's been accelerating like a madman.
     How much faster can he go?
[16:36] Naruko
    Just how much strength does he have left?
[16:40] Naruko
    Come to think of it,
    Kinjou-san said this guy...
[16:44] Koga
    I'm the Stamina Simpleton.
[16:47] (Flashback) Koga
    In middle school?
[16:49] (Flashback) Koga
    I never skipped practice and was
    always the last one to quit,
[16:52] (Flashback) Koga
    so I had a weird nickname.
[16:55] (Flashback) Koga
    They called me the Stamina Simpleton.
[16:58] (Flashback) Kinjou
    That's a good nickname.
[16:59] (Flashback) Kinjou
    It's simple and single-minded.
[17:02] (Flashback) Koga
    Kinjou-san praised my nickname.
[17:09] Teshima
    You came, Koga.
[17:15] Naruko
    He accelerated so he could catch up.
[17:18] Koga
    We need you. That's why I said
    you were no match for me.
[17:24] Koga
    The man I'm trying to knock out at
    this training camp is you, Teshima.
[17:32] Sakamichi
    Teshima-san?
[17:34] Koga
    Onoda, you know who's the weakest
    member of the current Inter-High team.
[17:44] (Flashback) Teshima
    I'm weak.
[17:46] Koga
    Let's race, Teshima. Switch with me.
[17:49] Koga
    I'll become the new captain.
[17:52] Sakamichi
    He's challenging Teshima-san?
[17:54] Koga
    He should've told you before
    this training camp started
[17:58] Koga
    that he'd cut anyone who
    didn't place in the top six.
[18:02] Koga
    It's because he knew I was coming.
[18:05] Koga
    You'd better be ready for this.
[18:07] Teshima
    Imaizumi, Naruko, Onoda, Kaburagi... Sorry.
[18:12] Teshima
    I lied when I said I'd chosen the lineup.
[18:16] Teshima
    I'm the only one who's not a sure thing.
[18:21] Sakamichi
    His roar is deafening.
[18:25] Koga
    The old you would've fallen to that!
[18:28] Teshima
    Koga!
[18:30] Koga
    It's been a while since we
    last raced all out, Junta!
[18:34] Teshima
    This is my first time!
[18:35] Teshima
    I always fell behind when
    we used to ride together!
[18:40] Teshima
    Are you over your injury?
[18:42] Koga
    Yeah. I lost a year and a half because of it.
[18:47] Koga
    But I've made a complete recovery.
[18:48] Koga
    I made sure I did, so I could
    ride in my last Inter-High!
[18:52] Koga
    Switch with me, Teshima! I can
    make Sohoku High School stronger!
[18:57] Koga
    A Sohoku of strength!
[18:58] Koga
    That's my plan for the team.
[19:01] Koga
    I'll make Aoyagi and
    Naruko ride on the flats.
[19:03] Koga
    I'll have Kaburagi assist.
[19:05] Koga
    Onoda will take the mountains.
[19:07] Koga
    Imaizumi and I will handle the finish line.
[19:09] Koga
    We can achieve a consecutive
    championship this way!
[19:12] Koga
    Don't worry. It won't take long for me
    to get along with the other members.
[19:15] Koga
    I know them well.
[19:17] Koga
    I've been watching them from
    the corner of the club room.
[19:22] Koga
    It must've been hard bringing
    that prickly group together.
[19:27] Koga
    But it's all right now. Leave the rest to me.
[19:30] Teshima
    Don't worry about me.
    I'm doing this because I want to.
[19:33] Teshima
    I don't have any intention
    of handing it over to you!
[19:36] Teshima
    Isn't that why we're racing
    a thousand kilometers, Koga?
[19:39] Koga
    Teshima!
[19:41] Kaburagi
    Wait, what?
[19:43] Kaburagi
    Is our captain changing?
[19:45] Sakamichi
    But we couldn't have won the
    preliminaries without Teshima-san.
[19:49] Kaburagi
    After watching him ride,
    Koga-senpai seems honestly—
[19:52] Imaizumi
    After them!
[19:53] Both
    Yeah!
[19:54] Naruko
    Of course!
[19:55] Imaizuimi
    Regardless of who wins,
    we have to see this through.
[19:59] Naruko
    "I'm the only one who's not a sure thing"?
    What's he showing off for?
[20:02] Naruko
    A race? Is he serious?
[20:05] Naruko
    The way that glasses guy
    rode was something else!
[20:08] Naruko
    Teshima will lose!
[20:09] Sakamichi
    This is Teshima-san we're talking about.
[20:11] Sakamichi
    He must have a plan.
[20:13] Sakamichi
    Something surprising. He must.
[20:16] Sakamichi
    So why do I have a bad feeling about this?
[20:19] Koga
    Teshima, it's 800 meters
    to the starting line.
[20:24] Koga
    Show me how much faster your
    once-ordinary riding has become.
[20:29] Koga
    Don't bother holding back. Let me be clear.
[20:33] Koga
    I won't let you finish a thousand kilometers.
[20:36] Koga
    I'll tear it from you.
[20:37] Koga
    I'll corner you through brute force.
[20:41] Koga
    I'm going to make you drop out.
[20:43] Koga
    Four hundred meters left!
[20:46] Naruko
    They're getting ready to sprint.
[20:48] Naruko
    Is the distance to the starting
    line their first test of strength?
[20:50] Sakamichi
    Teshima-san...
[20:55] Naruko
    He jumped ahead! He's got it!
[20:57] Koga
    You've gotten stronger.
    I hardly recognize you.
[21:01] Koga
    But you're still...
[21:06] Koga
    Ordinary!
[21:14] Koga
    That's how strong you are.
[21:17] Koga
    Feel like giving up yet?
[21:18] Teshima
    Looks like there won't be any time for
    tea until I finish a thousand kilometers.
[21:25] Koga
    You always had to have the last word.
[21:28] Koga
    I said I'd make you drop out.
[21:31] Koga
    I'll push you until you can't talk anymore.
[21:35] Koga
    I'm the guy known as the Stamina Simpleton.
[23:12] Sakamichi
    Kaburagi-kun, Danchiku-kun...
[23:15] Sakamichi
    Kanzaki-san gave these to me before we
    left this morning so we could share them.
[23:19] Kaburagi
    What? The manager?
[23:21] Kaburagi
    They're from a girl?
[23:23] Kaburagi
    I don't want any!
[23:24] Sakamichi
    Why not? They're good.
[23:26] Danchiku
    It'd be a waste, Issa. No one's watching.
[23:32] Kaburagi
    I don't want any!
[23:34] All
    What is he, a kid?

    Teshima...
[02:10] Koga
    When you're unable to speak anymore,
    that'll be when you've given up.
[02:17] Koga
    I'll become the captain
    of Sohoku High School.
[02:23] Sakamich
    Teshima-san!
[02:31] Teshima
    Who's becoming captain?
[02:34] Teshima
    In any case, if we're celebrating,
    I'll have to order...
[02:38] Teshima
    One of your favorite pizzas.
[02:42] Koga
    Keep up, Teshima!
[02:48] Teshima
    What? Damn it!
[02:53] Koga
    Are your legs cramping up?
[02:56] Koga
    Disappointing.
[02:57] Koga
    That's your limit as an ordinary man!
[03:04] Koga
    An ordinary man can't lead
    men overflowing with talent.
[03:11] Teshima
    There was a bug on my leg,
    so I shooed it away.
[03:15] Teshima
    Anyway, sorry, Koga.
[03:17] Teshima
    I believe there are things only
    an ordinary man like me can do!
[03:24] Koga
    I...
[03:26] Koga
    ...don't think so.
[03:30] Naruko
    That was surprising, though.
[03:33] Naruko
    I had no idea Koga-senpai was
    such an incredible rider.
[03:35] Imaizumi
    He was the team's hope as a first-year.
[03:40] Imaizumi
    He couldn't ride for a long
    time due to an injury.
[03:44] Imaizumi
    Because he wanted to stay involved with
    the team, he'd been working as a mechanic.
[03:50] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    Huh? About the Inter-High...
[03:53] (Flashback) Koga
    Yeah, I'm not going. I'm staying here.
[03:57] (Flashback) Koga
    Everyone's bikes are in perfect condition.
[03:59] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    What? But, uh...
[04:03] (Flashback) Koga
    It's just a stupid superstition,
    but if I'm around...
[04:07] (Flashback) Koga
    I have a feeling things will turn
    out like they did last year.

    What?

    It's fine.
[04:13] (Flashback) Koga
    Don't worry about me. Good luck.
[04:17] (Flashback) Koga
    I'm counting on you, first-years.
[04:18] (Flashback) Koga
    Imaizumi, Naruko, Onoda...
[04:21] (Flashback) Koga
    Help Kinjou-san and the others win.
[04:24] Sakamichi
    That was painful for Koga-senpai.
[04:29] Sakamichi
    Teshima-san fights knowing all that.
[04:33] Imaizumi
    The same goes for Sugimoto.
[04:35] Imaizumi
    We carry the hopes of those who have fallen
    and can't participate in the Inter-High.
[04:42] Imaizumi
    Four days from now, either Teshima-san
    or Koga-san will carry those hopes.
[04:48] Sakamichi
    Then we have to get stronger
    during these four days.
[04:54] Imaizumi
    Yeah.
[05:08] Teshima
    That was rough, but I endured it.
[05:13] Teshima
    What do you think, Koga?
[05:17] Koga
    Tomorrow will be harder.
[05:19] Teshima
    Seriously?
[05:21] Teshima
    And give me a hand. Hey, Koga!
SIGN    Teshima Koga Aoyagi Imaizumi
[05:26] Teshima
    I can't stand up.
[05:33] Koga
    I've waited a long time.
[05:36] Koga
    This year, I'll complete
    one thousand kilometers.
[05:40] Koga
    And fight at the Inter-High.
[05:44] Aoyagi
    Your pace is dropping with each lap.
[05:48] Aoyagi
    Are you okay, Junta?
[05:49] Teshima
    Koga's a genius. I don't
    stand a chance against him.
[05:54] Aoyagi
    Junta...
[05:56] Teshina
    That's why I'm thinking of doing...
[06:01] Teshina
    ...what only an ordinary man can do.

    Aoyagi-san and Naruko-san are amazing!
[06:21] Koga
    They sure do eat a lot.
[06:24] Imaizumi
    That's a lot of calories, though.
[06:27] Imaizumi
    Bicycle racing is a battle of endurance.
[06:30] Imaizumi
    Koga-senpai is putting it on the line
    in his race against Teshima-san.
[06:36] Koga
    The skies cleared up, though.
[06:38] Koga
    The fog was crazy this morning. Right, Onoda?
[06:41] Sakamichi
    Yes, sir.
[06:43] Koga
    We went for a ride first thing this morning
[06:48] Koga
    to make up for being late
    to the training camp.
SIGN    Teshima Koga
[06:51] Koga
    Now I'm back to being five
    minutes behind Teshima.
[06:55] Aoyagi
    Envision your assignment
    and goal while you ride.
[06:59] All
    Yes, sir!
[07:03] Aoyagi
    Help provide food and water
    if you've dropped out.
[07:05] Aoyagi
    If you're free, work out.
[07:07] All
    Yes, sir!
[07:08] Aoyagi
    I'm off.
[07:17] Teshima
    What's this? I thought
    I'd gotten ahead of you.
[07:20] Koga
    This is pointless. Choose.
[07:23] Koga
    Will you push yourself today and
    drop out because of an injury,
[07:27] Koga
    or keep riding and drop out
    when you're exhausted tomorrow?
[07:34] Teshima
    Sorry, but I choose the third option!
[07:37] Teshima
    I'll complete a thousand
    kilometers in four days...
[07:41] Teshima
    ...and cross the finish line before you!
[07:45] Koga
    You may be a skilled strategist,
    but you're not good enough.
[07:50] Koga
    Give up, Teshima.
[07:52] Teshima
    He's a hair's breadth away.
[07:55] Teshima
    Only a genius could do something so easily.
[07:58] Teshima
    In contrast, I'm ordinary.
[08:00] Teshima
    I haven't even won a single race.
[08:08] Teshima
    But Koga, there are sights
    that only I can see.
[08:17] Teshima
    There's a lot to learn
    from seeing him up close.
[08:21] Koga
    What are you smiling about, Teshima?
[08:23] Koga
    Are you approaching your limit?
[08:28] Teshima
    Koga!
[08:29] Teshima
    I'm an ordinary man!
[08:31] Teshima
    That's why I'll take one step at a time,
    and during this training camp...
[08:36] Teshima
    Become everything you said I'm not.
[08:40] Koga
    Looks like you'll have to learn
    your lesson the hard way.
[08:44] Koga
    You've always got to have the last word.
[08:46] Koga
    I'll shut you up!
[08:49] Teshima
    The hard way? I know how strong you are.
[08:53] Teshima
    I've always known.
[08:57] Teshima
    During the Hiroshima Inter-High two years ago,
     at the end of the second day...
[09:03] Teshima
    I can still recall that atmosphere.
[09:08] Teshima
    That tense atmosphere of total despair.
[09:13] (Flashback) Koga
    It's warped.
[09:14] (Flashback) Tadokoro
    That's enough, Koga.
[09:16] (Flashback) Koga
    But Kinjou-san asked me to fix it!
[09:19] (Flashback) Makishima
    We only have one ace, and our mechanic
    doubles as one of our riders.
[09:23] (Flashback) Makishima
    It was wrong for a team as weak
    as ours to dream of winning.
[09:28] (Flashback) Koga
    I'll fix it!
[09:30] (Flashback) Tadokoro
    We're saying you don't have to!
[09:35] (Flashback) Tadokoro
    Sohoku High School's second-year ace, Kinjou,
[09:37] (Flashback) Tadokoro
    is dropping out on the second
    day after a hard fall.
[09:42] (Flashback) Teshima
    Excuse me.
[09:43] (Flashback) Teshima
    Kinjou-san's being examined at the hospital.
[09:48] (Flashback) Teshima
    His has broken ribs,
    and abrasions in seven places.
[09:51] (Flashback) Teshima
    One of the third-years is
    going to stay with him.
[09:55] (Flashback) Tadokoro
    I see.
[10:03] (Flashback) Koga
    Tadokoro-san, tomorrow I'll be—
[10:08] (Flashback) Tadokoro
    Get changed. You've done enough.
[10:10] (Flashback) Tadokoro
    Get some rest.
[10:11] (Flashback) Tadokoro
    We still have to race tomorrow.
[10:19] (Flashback) Teshima
    The ace?
[10:20] (Flashback) Koga
    Keep your voice down, Junta.
[10:23] (Flashback) Teshima
    The ace, though? Are you serious?
[10:25] (Flashback) Koga
    Kinjou-san's done a lot for me.
[10:28] (Flashback) Koga
    That's why I have to fill his spot.
[10:31] (Flashback) Koga
    They won't be looking out for the first-years.
    I'll be free to do as I please.
[10:36] (Flashback) Koga
    I'll sneak my way to the top
    just before the finish line tomorrow.
[10:40] (Flashback) Koga
    I'm confident in my sprinting ability,
    so I'm going to go for it.
[10:44] (Flashback) Koga
    If things go well, we could win.
[10:45] (Flashback) Koga
    It'll be a huge comeback.
    We'll get single-digit number tags.
[10:48] (Flashback) Teshima
    Don't, Kimitaka.
[10:51] (Flashback) Teshima
    I understand how you feel.
[10:52] (Flashback) Teshima
    I dropped out of the thousand kilometer
    training camp, so you might not like me saying it,
[10:57] (Flashback) Teshima
    but you can't do it.
[10:59] (Flashback) Teshima
    Listen to the upperclassmen tomorrow.
[11:01] (Flashback) Koga
    Junta!
[11:02] (Flashback) Koga
    I thought you'd understand!
[11:05] (Flashback) Teshima
    You're injured!
[11:07] (Flashback) Teshima
    Kinjou-san said you didn't
    have to push yourself.
[11:10] (Flashback) Teshima
    He told you to ride in the Inter-High,
    get experience, and use it next year.
[11:14] (Flashback) Koga
    What about this year?
[11:15] (Flashback) Teshima
    He told you not to push yourself because
    you're talented and have promise!
[11:21] (Flashback) Teshima
    It was the same during the training camp.
[11:22] (Flashback) Teshima
    You started hurting on the fourth day,
    so you were told to stop at 900 kilometers.
[11:27] (Flashback) Teshima
    But you injured yourself further by
    pushing yourself eighty kilometers more.
[11:30] (Flashback) Teshima
    You still haven't been able to get over that!
[11:32] (Flashback) Koga
    I've healed. There's nothing to worry about.
[11:35] (Flashback) Koga
    I recover quickly.
[11:37] (Flashback) Aoyagi
    Kimitaka...
[11:39] (Flashback) Koga
    You know my nickname, don't you?

[11:48] (Flashback) Rider A
    Sohoku High School's first-year jumped ahead!
[11:59] Koga
    I'm the team's hope.
[12:02] (Flashback) Kinjou
    Your body is made for cycling.
[12:04] (Flashback) Kinjou
    If you keep at it, you'll get better.
[12:07] Koga
    They expect great things for me.
[12:10] Koga
    Kinjou-san's hopes...
[12:13] Koga
    I'll...
[12:16] (Flashback) Fan
    There's a sharp turn at
    the bottom of the hill!
[12:20] Koga
    I have to do well.
[12:25] Koga
    I have to do...
[12:30] (Flashback) Fan B
    Someone fell!
[12:31] (Flashback) Fan C
    Are you okay?
[12:38] (Flashback) Aoyagi
    Teshima...
[12:40] (Flashback) Teshima
    Kimitaka...
[12:42] Announce
    Number 73 has dropped out of the race.
[12:43] Announce
    He seems to have hit his left shoulder hard.
[12:46] (Flashback) Teshima
    They took him away.
SIGN    Koga 73
[12:49] Teshima
    Should I have done more to stop him?
[12:54] Teshima
    Damn it. Why, Kimitaka?
[13:00] Teshima
    It's nighttime now, Koga.
[13:03] Teshima
    No, Kimitaka.
[13:06] Teshima
    They'll be putting out the no passing
    board by the finish line soon,
[13:10] Teshima
    so we don't push ourselves too hard
    at night and injure ourselves.
[13:15] Koga
    Why? Nothing I did let me pull ahead of you.
[13:19] Koga
    You, an ordinary man.
[13:21] Teshima
    Kimitaka... That brings back memories.
[13:25] Teshima
    I used to call you that
    when we were still friends.
[13:28] Teshima
    After your fall, as you were
    stoically blaming yourself,
[13:32] Teshima
    I couldn't say anything to you.
[13:36] Teshima
    I'm glad you returned to this training
    camp so we could speak our minds.
[13:42] Teshima
    I believe there's a moment when
    an ordinary man beats a genius.
[13:49] Teshima
    Want to give it a try?
[13:51] Teshima
    Let's race to the finish line
    where the no passing sign is.
[13:57] Koga
    Can I assume this race
    will settle everything,
[14:01] Koga
    Junta!
[14:03] Teshima
    Yeah, that's right.
[14:07] Teshima
    Kimitaka!
[14:12] Sakamichi
    A-Aoyagi-san!
[14:14] Naruko
    Are you taking a break?
[14:23] Aoyagi
    You guys should watch this, too.
[14:27] Naruko
    Is this the end of their race?
[14:29] Kaburagi
    Teshima-san and Koga-senpai are...
[14:32] Aoyagi
    They probably intend to decide
    who will ride in the Inter-High.
[14:38] Imaizumi
    Teshima-san has responded to all of
    Koga-senpai's movements
[14:41] Imaizumi
    and persistently kept up.
SIGN    Teshima Koga Aoyagi Imaizumi
[14:44] Imaizumi
    We thought he was at a disadvantage,
    but he's still just barely keeping even.
[14:48] Imaizumi
    Is Teshima-san pushing and testing
    himself to find his answer?
[14:55] Aoyagi
    Junta...
[14:58] (Flashback) Aoyagi
    Sorry for winning again, Teshima.
[15:02] (Flashback) Teshima
    It's fine. I'm satisfied.
[15:04] (Flashback) Teshima
    We beat the elites together.
[15:07] (Flashback) Aoyagi
    You're the one who deserves
    to be first, Teshima.
[15:10] (Flashback) Aoyagi
    I'll assist you in the next race.
[15:12] (Flashback) Teshima
    Don't you know?
[15:15] (Flashback) Teshima
    I've never won a sprint to the finish before.
[15:21] (Flashback) Aoyagi
    Teshima!
[15:23] (Flashback) Teshima
    I struggled hard, but it was no use.
[15:25] (Flashback) Teshima
    I'm 11th.
[15:27] (Flashback) Teshima
    One shy of the top ten.
[15:29] (Flashback) Teshima
    Sounds like me, right?
[15:31] (Flashback) Teshima
    Even after you pulled for me.
[15:34] (Flashback) Teshima
    Sorry.
[15:37] (Flashback) Teshima
    My race with Koga will probably end
    either tomorrow or the day after.
[15:42] (Flashback) Teshima
    In my exhausted state, I have
    to beat the genius Koga
[15:45] (Flashback) Teshima
    in a finish line sprint,
    which I've never won before.
[15:50] Aoyagi
    Junta...
[15:52] (Flashback) Teshima
    If it comes down to it, Aoyagi...
[15:55] (Flashback) Teshima
    Will you cheer for me?
[16:01] Teshima
    I'm at my limit.
[16:03] Teshima
    I'm amazed my legs are still pedaling.
[16:07] Teshima
    But I won't give up.
[16:11] Teshima
    Why can't an ordinary man with ordinary legs
    miraculously beat a genius just once?
[16:18] Naruko
    They're close. I see two lights.
[16:21] (Flashback) Teshima
    Will you cheer for me?
[16:24] Aoyagi
    Of course. Who else would I be cheering for?
[16:29] Aoyagi
    Junta!
[16:31] Naruko
    Is Koga-senpai riding alone?
[16:33] Imaizumi
    No, Teshima-san is right behind him.
[16:37] Naruko
    Teshima-san is avoiding the wind by staying behind,
     but he looks like he's struggling.
[16:41] Aoyagi
    Junta...
[16:44] (Flashback) Teshima
    Koga will go all out at the training camp.
[16:47] (Flashback) Teshima
    I probably won't have time to be the captain.
[16:50] (Flashback) Teshima
    Could you lead the team for me, then?
[16:54] (Flashback) Aoyagi
    I understand. I'm the vice-captain.
[16:58] (Flashback) Teshima
    I don't want to have any regrets.
[17:01] (Flashback) Teshima
    If I fail, this will be the last time.
[17:08] Aoyagi
    I'm uncertain about facing
    the Inter-High without you.
[17:16] Teshima
    Keep moving. Don't stop.
[17:18] Teshima
    Do what you've never done before.
[17:22] Koga
    You still had that much strength left, Junta?
[17:26] Teshima
    I'm going to the Inter-High!
[17:31] Naruko
    They're neck and neck!
[17:33] Kaburagi
    Teshima-san's pulling ahead!
[17:35] Kaburagi
    I've never seen Teshima-san so strong before.
[17:38] Kaburagi
    He's going to make it.
[17:41] Naruko
    Did you notice, hotshot?
[17:44] Imaizumi
    Naruko...
[17:45] Naruko
    Since the sprint started,
    Koga-senpai hasn't...
[17:48] Imaizumi
    ...stood up from his saddle once.
[17:51] Koga
    One hundred and fifty meters left.
    That's enough.
[17:58] Imaizumi
    Koga-senpai...
[18:00] Naruko
    Stood up!
[18:09] Koga
    I'll do it.
[18:12] Teshima
    What's wrong, guys? I can't hear you.
[18:16] Teshima
    No one's crossed the finish line yet.
[18:19] Teshima
    I guess it can't be helped.
[18:21] Teshima
    It's always been this way.
[18:24] Teshima
    No one's ever expected anything from me.
[18:28] (Flashback) Senpai A
    Class 1-5, Teshima Junta.
[18:31] (Flashback) Teshima
    Yes, sir.
[18:32] (Flashback) Senpai B
    You're skinny.
[18:33] (Flashback) Senpai A
    Your jersey looks new. Are you a beginner?
[18:37] (Flashback) Teshima
    Ah... I rode in middle school.
[18:41] (Flashback) Teshima
    I thought I could turn over
    a new leaf with this jersey.
[18:43] (Flashback) Senpai B
    You're Koga, huh?
[18:45] (Flashback) Senpai A
    We've heard about you.
[18:50] (Flashback) Senpai
    This training camp is hard. Do your best.
[18:53] (Flashback) Senpai
    Kinjou, Tadokoro, Makishima, and first-year Koga,
     finish your thousand kilometers.
[18:58] (Flashback) Senpai
    Teshima, ride as hard as you can.
[19:02] (Flashback) Teshima
    Huh? Yes, sir.
[19:03] Teshima
    "As hard as I can?"
[19:06] Teshima
    He doesn't expect a thousand
    kilometers from me.
[19:10] (Flashback) Tadokoro
    I'm the one who trained Teshima and Aoyagi.
[19:15] Teshima
    Tadokoro-san's the only
    one who believed in me.
[19:19] (Flashback) Tadokoro
    That's enough, Teshima, Aoyagi.
[19:24] Teshima
    I couldn't meet his expectations.
[19:27] Teshima
    But I understand now.
[19:31] Teshima
    I was jealous of how everyone
    expected so much from Koga.
[19:36] Teshima
    I thought I could work harder if
    they had high expectations for me.
[19:41] Teshima
    But I was wrong.
[19:44] Teshima
    It should've been obvious once
    I thought about it. That's right.
[19:47] Teshima
    Unless I work hard,
    no one will expect anything.
[19:51] Teshima
    Can I do something I've never done before now?
[19:55] Teshima
    I can. There's one man standing
    over there who believes in me.
[20:01] Aoyagi
    Junta, win!
[20:03] Teshima
    I'll become stronger. I'll become stronger.
[20:06] Teshima
    Because I'm weak.

[20:50] Koga
    When I passed him at the end,
    I didn't think he'd pass me back.
[20:57] (Flashback) Teshima
    I believe there's a moment when

[21:04] Teshima
    Crap. I'm at my limit.
[21:07] Koga
    An ordinary man beats a genius...
[21:12] Teshima

[21:15] Teshima
    That was close.
[21:19] Koga
    I can't believe you wore me down so much.
[21:22] Koga
    Me, the Stamina Simpleton.
[21:26] Koga
    Thank you, Junta.

    Your leg cramped up first.
[02:23] Koga
    M-My legs didn't cramp!
[02:25] Koga
    I'm the one they call the Stamina Simpleton!
[02:28] Teshima
    You're the one who lost his
    balance first, Kimitaka!
[02:31] Koga
    No, it was you, Junta!
[02:33] Teshima
    No, you!
[02:34] Koga
    No, you!
[02:35] Aoyagi
    It doesn't matter who it was.
[02:40] Teshima
    You're right, Aoyagi.
[02:42] Koga
    You're right. It doesn't matter.
[02:45] Koga
    It's been a while since
    we spoke face to face.
[02:49] Koga
    Our first-year Inter-High was the last time.
[02:53] Koga
    But I'm glad I gave everything I had then.
[02:58] Koga
    Given the team's situation, I was
    the only one who could go for it.
[03:02] Koga
    Even when I had it to do over,
    I think I would still do it.
[03:06] Koga
    I gave everything I had in that race.
[03:09] Koga
    What happened was unfortunate,
    but I don't regret it.
[03:13] Teshima
    Kimitaka...
[03:15] Koga
    It's frustrating, but it can't be helped.
[03:17] Koga
    Let's ride.
[03:19] Teshima
    What?
[03:20] Koga
    Isn't this a training camp?
[03:22] Koga
    There's still something I have to
    do before my three years are up.
[03:26] Koga
    I'm a man of only 980 kilometers.
[03:30] Koga
    So I must complete one thousand kilometers.
[03:33] Sakamichi
    Good work, Koga-san. That was amazing.
[03:37] Sakamichi
    During last year's Inter-High,
[03:39] Sakamichi
    thanks for staying behind for us
    and supporting Sohoku High School.
[03:44] Koga
    I'll be going this year, Onoda.
[03:46] Koga
    I'll support the team with all my might.
[03:48] Sakamichi
    Thank you.
[03:50] Koga
    Imaizumi...
[03:52] Koga
    You're a second-year ace,
    just like Kinjou-san was back then.
[03:58] Koga
    Don't waver. Attack.
[04:00] Koga
    We'll be counting on you near the finish line.
[04:02] Imaizumi
    Yes, sir.
[04:03] Koga
    Naruko...
[04:04] Koga
    Looks like you're working on something
    new to surprise us again this year.
[04:11] Naruko
    It'll be a piece of cake.
[04:13] Naruko
    I'll be heating things up
    this summer to 300 degrees!
[04:18] Imaizumi
    Don't burn yourself to death.
[04:21] Koga
    Kaburagi, are you feeling uneasy?
[04:24] Koga
    You're the only first-year.
[04:26] Koga
    I was the only one, too.
[04:28] Koga
    Give everything you've got.
[04:30] Koga
    It's the only way you'll be
    able to see the next step.
[04:34] Kaburagi
    Yes, sir.
[04:34] Teshima
    Don't be too unreasonable, Kimitaka.
[04:38] Koga
    And you guys... I don't have
    to tell you what to do.
[04:42] Koga
    I know how hard you've worked until now.
[04:47] Koga
    One last thing. Get injured.
[04:50] All
    What?
[04:52] Koga
    And then I'll ride in the Inter-High for you!
[04:54] Naruko
    No way.
[04:56] Teshima
    Does that mean you'll replace us
     if we let our guard down?
[04:59] Sakamichi
    We'll be careful.
[05:02] Koga
    Do your best. Don't get hurt.
[05:07] Koga
    It's all right. You can come
    to me for advice anytime.
[05:14] Koga
    I know a lot about injuries.
[05:22] Midosuzi
    Here we go.
[05:29] Employee
    I'm sorry, but the five-kilometer
    course is reserved.
SIGN    Reserved
[05:32] Midosuzi
    Well, that's a shock.
[05:35] Midosuzi
    I heard this place was famous.
[05:37] Midosuzi
    I took the train and a taxi to get here.
[05:40] Employee
    There's actually a high school bicycle
    club holding a training camp here.
[05:44] Employee
    They're here for four days until tomorrow.
[05:48] Sakamichi
    Imaizumi-kun and Naruko-kun are fast.
[05:52] Sakamichi
    Their speed is incredible,
    and their cornering is fast.
[05:56] Sakamichi
    And they've gotten even stronger
    at this training camp.
[05:59] Sakamichi
    They're riding right on the edge.
[06:01] Imaizumi
    You're so annoying.
    Stop getting ahead on corners.
[06:03] Naruko
    Are you stupid?
[06:04] Naruko
    It's your fault for riding so slowly
    that I'm overtaking you on them.
[06:07] Imaizumi
    You're not overtaking me.
    I'm letting you pass me.
[06:10] Sakamichi
    I'm short of breath,
    and I'm barely keeping up.
[06:14] Sakamichi
    But they're conversing normally.
[06:16] Naruko
    Hotshot, you take it easy.
[06:19] Naruko
    I'll definitely win.
[06:22] Naruko
    I'll pay the price.
[06:25] Naruko
    I'm always riding right on the edge.
[06:28] Naruko
    Sorry, but that's how I'm prepared to ride.
[06:31] Imaizumi
    The price?
[06:32] Sakamichi
    What price?
[06:33] Imaizumi
    He's certainly gotten stronger and better.
[06:38] Sakamichi
    Naruko-kun must have something up his sleeve.
[06:42] Naruko
    I'll become stronger.
[06:44] Naruko
    A promise is a promise.
[06:46] Naruko
    I quit being a sprinter,
    but I have a good goal now.
[06:51] Naruko
    I hate doing as that hotshot said,
    but I'll do whatever it takes.
[06:57] Naruko
    I'll become stronger and stronger.
[06:59] Naruko
    I'll make Idiotsuji admit defeat
    and reclaim the title of sprinter!
[07:06] Naruko
    I'll even practice climbing
    to achieve my goal!
[07:12] Sakamichi
    He's fast. He's accelerating!
[07:14] Sakamichi
    Naruko-kun's accelerating on a climb!
[07:16] Imaizumi
    That idiot.
[07:18] Naruko
    Until then, I'll abandon them.
[07:21] Naruko
    That's the price I'll pay.
[07:24] Midosuzi
    In that case...
[07:26] Midosuzi
    Could we at least take a look at the track?
[07:29] Employee
    Sure.
[07:31] Employee
    They asked me not to let anyone in,
    but since these two came from so far away...
[07:37] Rider A
    Fight!
[07:42] Rider B
    Good work.
[07:46] Midosuzi
    What?
[07:47] Midosuzi
    What is this fun and games cycling event?
[07:50] Midosuzi
    This is a training camp?
[07:52] Midosuzi
    Gross.
[07:55] Midosuzi
    I came to see how they were doing
    since they're the champions.
[07:59] Midosuzi
    But all they have are more members now.
[08:01] Midosuzi
    Are they sure they weren't
    stronger last year?
[08:04] Midosuzi
    He's no good.
[08:06] Midosuzi
    He's weak, too.
[08:09] Midosuzi
    This one's not so bad.
[08:12] Midosuzi
    But since he's not wearing a yellow jersey,
    does that mean he's not a regular?
[08:18] Midosuzi
    Hey, it's rooster head.
    The rooster head's here.
[08:21] Midosuzi
    So he hasn't quit. He's still riding.
[08:24] Midosuzi
    Riding hard, too.
[08:27] Midosuzi
    I don't know what he's riding for, though.
[08:31] Komari
    Is that tall guy behind them their ace?
[08:36] Midosuzi
    That's right. That's Caterpillizumi-kun,
[08:41] Midosuzi
    who hasn't learned to fly yet.
[08:46] Komari
    It's hard to tell from so far away.
[08:49] Komari
    I wish we could get closer.
[08:51] Komari
    Ideally, I'd like to feel
    his muscles for myself.
[08:59] Sakamichi
    It's getting cloudy.
[09:00] Sakamichi
    It might rain.
[09:02] Sakamichi
    I should get some rain gear.
[09:04] Sakamichi
    Maybe I'll take some for
    Naruko-kun and the others.
[09:08] Komari
    Hello.
[09:12] Sakamichi
    Who are you?
[09:15] Komari
    My name is Komari.
[09:18] Komari
    I'm interested in a few things.
[09:21] Komori
    Could I ask you some questions?
[09:31] Midosuzi
    What?
[09:33] Midosuzi
    He disappeared.
[09:36] Midosuzi
    Komari...
[09:37] Midosuzi
    I see. He left...
[09:42] Midosuzi
    To meet them face to face.
[09:46] Midosuzi
    That guy has no restraint.
[09:50] Sakamichi
    What? Uh, Komari-kun?
[09:54] Komari
    That's right. I'm a first-year.
[09:57] Komari
    I'm looking for him so I can touch him.
[10:00] Komari
    Could you tell me all about...
[10:04] Komari
    Your ace, Imaizumi-san?
[10:11] Sakamichi
    Oh, Komari-kun.
[10:13] Sakamichi
    Yeah, right. Komari-kun.
[10:16] Sakamichi
    I know you. I asked who you were
    because you showed up so suddenly.
[10:21] Sakamichi
    You're the new student, uh...
[10:24] Sakamichi
    Komori-kun, right? I remember you.
SIGN    Maximum Eloquence Senior Smile
[10:31] Sakamichi
    Has this first-year always been on the team?
[10:34] Sakamichi
    We have a lot of new students this year.
[10:35] Sakamichi
    I'm not good at remembering faces,
    but Naruko-kun said...
[10:41] (Flashback) Naruko
    Everyone looks up to you, Onoda-kun.
[10:44] (Flashback) Naruko
    You should remember the faces
    and names of the first-years.
[10:46] (Flashback) Naruko
    They'd be disappointed if they
    knew you didn't recognize them.
[10:50] Sakamichi
    I'll use this opportunity to
    close the distance between us.
[10:54] Komari
    He thinks I'm one of Sohoku
    High School's first-years.
[10:57] Komari
    He must be a second or third-year.
[11:01] Komari
    I don't feel any pressure from him.
[11:04] Sakamichi
    Ahem. Komori-kun...
[11:07] Sakamichi
    Okay, here we go.
[11:09] Sakamichi
    Time for Makishima-san's
    Stimulating Conversation Skills!
[11:12] Sakamichi
    What...
[11:13] Sakamichi
    What do you do for fun?
[11:15] Komari
    Wash my hands.
[11:15] Sakamichi
    The sky sure is blue.
[11:17] Komari
    It's raining.
[11:19] Sakamichi
    This isn't stimulating at all!
[11:23] Komari
    Is your ace Imaizumi-san strong?
[11:26] Komari
    Or is he weak?
[11:29] Sakamichi
    What? Weak?
[11:31] Sakamichi
    No way. He's strong.
[11:34] Sakamichi
    He's fast. Can't you tell by watching him?
[11:36] Sakamichi
    He's always calm. He's a good guy
    and easy to get along with.
[11:40] Komari
    Is he stronger than Midousuji-san?
[11:43] Sakamichi
    What?
[11:49] Sakamichi
    Not Naruko-kun?
[11:51] Sakamichi
    Wh-Why would you ask about Midousuji-kun?
[11:54] Komari
    Which is it?
[11:59] Sakamichi
    I'm not sure.
[12:01] Sakamichi
    From my perspective, they're equally amazing,
    and they're both good people.
[12:07] Komari
    Good people?
[12:09] Sakamichi
    This is just my opinion, but...
[12:12] Sakamichi
    I don't think it matters if
    one is better than the other.
[12:22] Komari
    Are you rejecting bicycle racing itself?
[12:28] Komari
    Once they start riding, their relative
    strength and weakness becomes clear.
[12:31] Komari
    That's how road racing works.
[12:33] Komari
    Am I wrong?
[12:37] Sakamichi
    I'm not sure how to put it.
[12:39] Sakamichi
    I think you'll understand
    once you start riding.
[12:44] Sakamichi
    But I don't think that's all there is to it.
[12:47] Komari
    What a strange person. Once I start riding?
[12:50] Komari
    He's the one who's never ridden before.
[12:53] Komari
    That's all racing is.
[12:56] Komari
    I spoke to him because he's wearing a
    yellow jersey, but he must be a sub.
[13:01] Sakamichi
    Oh, sorry, Komori-kun.
[13:04] Sakamichi
    I came to get rain gear.
    I'm heading back to the track.
[13:07] Komari
    How disappointing.
[13:12] Komari
    Since he was wearing glasses,
[13:14] Komari
    I thought he was last year's
    Inter-High champion, Onoda Sakamichi...
[13:32] Komari
    What kind of muscles are these?
[13:35] Komari
    They're good!
[13:38] Sakamichi
    Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
[13:44] Sakamichi
    My cleats slipped...
[13:45] Komari
    I almost made a noise.
[13:49] Komari
    They're so flexible and springy.
[13:54] Komari
    This guy must be...
[13:59] Komari
    Onoda-san...
[14:00] Sakamichi
    Huh? What?
[14:02] Komari
    Last year's champion, Onoda Sakamichi!
[14:06] Komari
    Let me... Let me touch you again.
[14:10] Komari
    Let me see!
[14:13] Koga
    What are you doing?
[14:16] Koga
    You're not from our team.
[14:20] Sakamichi
    What?
[14:22] Komari
    No, I'm just visiting.
[14:24] Komari
    I'm Kyoto Fushimi High School
    first-year Kishigami Komari.
[14:29] Sakamichi
    What?
[14:31] Komari
    I'm a simple masseuse.
[14:33] Komari
    Don't glare at me like that.
[14:36] Koga
    What's Kyoto Fushimi High School doing here?
[14:39] Komari
    It looked like rain,
    so I came here to stay dry.
[14:44] Koga
    I'm Sohoku High School third-year Koga.
[14:47] Koga
    If you have business with us,
    you can speak to me.
[14:49] Komari
    I was mostly finished anyway.
[14:52] Komari
    Don't worry about it. I'll leave.
[14:59] Koga
    There's another one of you up there.
[15:01] Koga
    Both of you, get out of here.
[15:04] Komari
    I'm excited for this summer, Koga-senpai.
[15:08] Komari
    Oh, I'm sorry.
[15:12] Komari
    Since you're wearing that jersey,
    you won't be riding in this summer's race.
[15:19] Komari
    It looks like the rain's letting up.
    I'll be leaving now.
[15:25] Midosuzi
    How did it go?
[15:31] Komari
    It had me panting.
[15:33] Komari
    I nearly said something twice!
[15:43] Teshima
    Two riders are coming.
[15:45] Aoyagi
    Who will it be?
[15:46] Naruko
    Idiot!
[15:48] Imaizumi
    You can't be serious!
[16:00] Naruko
    All right!
[16:03] Rider A
    Naruko-san finished a
    thousand kilometers first!
[16:07] Kaburagi
    How did he pull ahead at the finish line?
[16:10] Sakamichi
    Naruko-kun is evolving.
[16:12] Sakamichi
    He was going way faster
    than before at the end.
[16:17] Sakamichi
    I'm still nowhere close to as good
    as Naruko-kun and Imaizumi-kun.
[16:24] Sakamichi
    I have to get stronger, too.
[16:26] Naruko
    Hey, idiot. I won.
[16:29] Imaizumi
    Shut up. Don't celebrate so much
    just because you happened to win.
[16:34] Rider B
    Naruko-san, here's a towel andー
[16:36] Naruko
    Nah.
[16:37] Naruko
    Boy, I'm thirsty. Maybe I'll
    have Imaizumi-kun go get mine.
[16:44] Naruko
    Just like he promised.
[16:46] (Flashback) Naruko
    Hotshot, we're almost on our final lap.
[16:49] (Flashback) Naruko
    How do you feel about second place doing
[16:51] (Flashback) Naruko
    whatever the first to finish a
    thousand kilometers says for a day?
[16:57] (Flashback) Imaizumi
    Fine.
[17:01] Imaizumi
    Here.
[17:02] Naruko
    Ow!
[17:03] Naruko
    What was that for?
[17:04] Imaizumi
    My hand slipped.
[17:06] Naruko
    I heard you say, "Here!"
[17:08] ---
    Yeah, but the sweat...
[17:09] Teshima
    What are they, kids?
[17:11] Koga
    Oh, right, Onoda.
[17:13] Koga
    When there's a crosswind,
    ride one wheel closer downwind.
[17:18] Sakamichi
    Okay.
[17:18] Koga
    Usually, you ride directly behind
    the wheel to avoid the wind,
[17:22] Koga
    but in the case of a crosswind,
[17:23] Koga
    you'll be blown by less wind
    by riding slightly ahead.
[17:27] Koga
    You're a climber. Your ability
    to reduce how much energy
[17:31] Koga
    you spend on flats affects
    your team's performance.
[17:34] Koga
    During this training camp and our
    practices until the Inter-High,
[17:37] Koga
    I'll teach you everything
    I know about racing.
[17:40] Koga
    Focus while you ride.
[17:42] Sakamichi
    Yes, sir.
[17:44] Sakamichi
    Kaburagi-kun!
[17:47] Kaburagi
    You caught up?
[17:48] Kaburagi
    Imaizumi-san and Naruko-san
    beat me, and now you, too?
[17:53] Kaburagi
    Damn it.
[17:56] Koga
    Kaburagi's struggling.
[17:59] Koga
    His body's not moving the way he wants.
[18:03] Koga
    Of course it isn't.
    This course has steep slopes.
[18:08] Koga
    He hasn't realized it yet,
    but once he does, he'll get faster.
[18:12] Koga
    Kaburagi Issa is definitely a sprinter.
[18:19] Kaburagi
    I can go fast on the flats, so why?
[18:22] Kaburagi
    I should be able to climb faster
    if I pedal the same way.
[18:26] Sakamichi
    A sprinter? Kaburagi-kun?
[18:30] Koga
    Aoyagi said he might surpass Tadokoro-san
    by the time he's a third-year,
[18:34] Koga
    if he trains hard.
[18:35] Sakamichi
    Th-That's amazing.
[18:37] Sakamichi
    But you're not going to tell Kaburagi-kun?
[18:41] Koga
    I thought he'd notice after
    riding a thousand kilometers.
[18:44] Koga
    He's either a total idiot or a genius.
SIGN    Aoyagi
[18:50] Sakamichi
    Hime!
[18:55] Kaburagi
    I managed to pass Teshima-san.
[18:59] Kaburagi
    There must be some way to go faster.
[19:05] Kaburagi
    Spri...
[19:08] Kaburagi
    Spring, like the season.
[19:13] Kaburagi
    How can I go faster?
[19:16] Naruko
    He's coming!
[19:17] Sakamichi
    You can do it, Koga-san!
[19:19] Koga
    Almost there.
[19:23] Koga
    Kinjou-san,
[19:25] Koga
    it took me a while, but I...
[19:29] Koga
    ...finally completed the
     thousand-kilometer training camp.
[19:33] Teshima
    Good work, Kimitaka.
[19:36] Koga
    That was a long thousand kilometers.
[19:38] Teshima
    I know.
[19:41] Koga
    It took me three years.
[19:44] Teshima
    That doesn't change the fact that you did it.
SIGN    Koga Sugimoto
[19:53] Teshima
    The Sohoku High School
    training camp is now over!
[19:57] All
    Thank you, sir!
[20:02] Miki
    Good morning.
[20:03] Miki
    How'd the training camp go?
[20:06] Naruko
    I won.
[20:07] Imaizumi
    By a millimeter.
[20:09] Miki
    Good work, guys.

    You're right.

[09:27] Miki
    The single digit tags
    mean they won last year.

    Huh.

    The number on the right is
    their rank within their team.

    Since each team has six riders,
    they range from one to six.

    Huh?

    Every race is the same.
[10:01] Teshima
    When the previous winner rides again,
    he's given that tag.

    It's a symbol of victory.

    since graduated, its meaning may be different.

    The real truth, and the lie that
    people are convinced is the truth.
[15:51] Doubashi
    He's the latter.
[15:52] Doubashi
    He's wearing a crown he
    won through sheer luck,
[15:54] Doubashi
    but everyone's too scared
    to doing anything about it.
[15:57] Kaburagi
    You're wrong!
[15:58] Doubashi
    Have you ever tested him?
[16:00] Doubashi
    Have you ever really raced him?
[16:03] Doubashi
    He disguises himself as
    an Inter-High champion.
[16:05] Doubashi
    Everyone fawns over him
    and thinks he's amazing.
[16:09] Doubashi
    Is he actually strong?
[16:11] Doubashi
    Is he stronger than everyone
    else you've ever met?
[16:18] Kaburagi
    No, I know how he rides!
[16:21] Kaburagi
    I saw him on Mt. Fuji at
    last year's Inter-High!
[16:24] Kaburagi
    He's the real thing!
[16:26] Kaburagi
    He's the reason I abandoned the other schools
    and chose to come to Sohoku High School!
[16:31] Doubashi
    Are you sure you're not just viewing
    things through a self-imposed filter?
[16:35] Kaburagi
    What?
[16:36] Doubashi
    Sohoku High School is strong.
    At least, they should be.
[16:40] Doubashi
    They have to be strong.
[16:42] Doubashi
    Otherwise, the path you've followed
[16:45] Doubashi
    and all your work would be meaningless.
[16:58] Doubashi
    Face the truth, orange kid.
[17:02] Doubashi
    Hakone Academy High School has
    the most members of any team.
[17:05] Doubashi
    No one can compare to how much we practice.
[17:08] Doubashi
    Who's stronger? There's only one truth.
[17:11] Doubashi
    The strongest team...
[17:14] Doubashi
    ...is us, Hakone Academy High School!
[17:16] Kaburagi
    The strongest...
[17:22] Kaburagi
    There's only one truth.
[17:26] Doubashi
    The strongest are chosen at the Inter-High.
[17:29] Doubashi
    Participants are measured and screened.
[17:32] Doubashi
    This hot, long, and harsh race all
    comes down to how much you train.
[17:37] Doubashi
    Overwhelming physical and mental strength...

    than scolding me, that's what you said.

    I've been thinking since that day.

    and Onoda just a little bit.

    That's all I came to say.
[11:37] Teshima
    I see.
[11:39] Ashikiba
    Jun-chan, you said we'd
    conquer the world together.
[11:45] Ashikiba
    But sorry. Only one of us
    can win at this Inter-High.
[11:52] Ashikiba
    We can't do it together.
[11:57] Teshima
    I guess not, since we're on different teams.
[12:01] Ashikiba
    It'll be Hakone Academy High School.
[12:03] Teshima
    I can't allow that.
[12:07] Teshima
    Good luck to both of us.
[12:14] Ashikiba
    I can't accept something from an enemy.
[12:18] Ashikiba
    You were nice to me.
    You taught me how to ride a bike.
[12:23] Ashikiba
    But the seniors at Hakone Academy High School,
    who have graduated now,
[12:28] Ashikiba
    taught me how to become stronger
     and where I belonged.
[12:33] Ashikiba
    So I'm going to help this team win this year.
[12:38] Ashikiba
    Bye.

    Hey, wait. Ashikiba!

    Oh, right.

    Hey, Yuto. How long are you going
    to keep riding that roller?
[13:12] Takadajou
    We've already been called to the starting line.
[13:14] Yutao
    Oh, Takadajou-san. Seriously?
[13:17] Takadajou
    Kuroda-senpai's on edge.
[13:19] Takadajou
    You're just too relaxed.

    That doesn't sound good.

    I brought Yuto.

    What were you doing?
[13:30] Yuto
    Sorry, I got caught up in riding a roller.
[13:34] Kuroda
    You're late. And why do you
    always wear that weird mask?
[13:39] Yuto
    It's cute, right? I kinda
    want to be a little girl.
[13:43] Yuto
    I like it. I have three of them.
[13:47] Kuroda
    What are you, a dreamy-eyed girl? Get ready.
[13:50] Yuto
    Okay.
[13:52] Izumida
    He's easygoing and full of confidence.

    with my brother last year?
[14:23] Yuto
    How was Hayato-kun?
[14:25] Izumida
    He was fast and unbelievably beautiful.

    No one was better suited to wear tag #4.

    Oh, really?

    I've never really ridden with him,

    That's right. He's a serious man.
[15:45] Koga
    There's no telling how much
    pressure he's feeling from how
[15:48] Koga
    he performed at the last Inter-High.
[15:50] Koga
    Not only that, but he won. He took first.
[15:54] Koga
    The expectations of those
    around him skyrocketed.
[15:56] Koga
    He must be feeling it.
[15:59] Koga
    I tried to keep it from
    bothering him, though.

    because everything is new.
[16:08] Koga
    But the second time...
[16:10] Koga
    Doing the same thing twice
    is a herculean task.

    recovered by the time the race starts,

    What does it mean?
[17:33] Naruko
    You're awful.

    Are you trying to relax?
[18:21] Sakamichi
    Um, I...
[18:24] Sakamichi
    Yes.
[18:26] Aoyagi
    Then I have one thing to say to you.
[18:30] Sakamichi
    Okay.
[18:32] Aoyagi
    I learned a lot from Tadokoro-san.
[18:35] Aoyagi
    How to ride. How to race.
[18:37] Aoyagi
    How to endure.
[18:39] Aoyagi
    Etiquette and greetings. How to eat.
[18:42] Aoyagi
    The will to win. The importance
    of aiming for the finish line.
[18:47] Aoyagi
    It's not just things he taught me.
[18:49] Aoyagi
    I learned a lot from watching him, too.
[18:52] Aoyagi
    What did you learn from Makishima-san?
[18:54] Sakamichi
    I... I... I, uh...
[18:58] Aoyagi
    It may be hard to put into words,
[19:00] Aoyagi
    but there should be a lot of
    things you learned from him.
[19:14] Aoyagi
    It should be flowing through
    the veins inside your body.
[19:20] Aoyagi
    Think you can't do what you did last year?
[19:24] Aoyagi
    Of course not.
[19:25] Aoyagi
    Because you've gotten stronger.
[19:28] Aoyagi
    You bear the souls of our seniors.
[19:32] Aoyagi
    Sohoku High School is a team
    that supports one another.
[19:35] Aoyagi
    It applies to races, but that's not all.
[19:38] Aoyagi
    You're a second-year now.
[19:40] Aoyagi
    That's the most different thing about you.
[19:43] Aoyagi
    There's going to be a
    first-year riding this year.
[19:46] Aoyagi
    Carry on their legacy. Teach him.
[19:48] Aoyagi
    Show him with your riding.
[19:49] Aoyagi
    Show him everything you have in this race.
[19:52] Aoyagi
    Then Kaburagi will pass it
    on to the next generation.
[19:56] Aoyagi
    Sohoku High School will become even stronger.

    A job?
[20:38] (Flashback) Aoyagi
    I'll narrow down what he
    has to do to one thing.

[06:48] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    Partway up the mountain there was too
    much snow. We couldn't keep riding.
[06:53] (Flashback) Toudou
    I see. That's unfortunate.
[06:55] (Flashback) Toudou
    It can't be helped, then.
[06:57] (Flashback) Toudou
    We'll have to postpone this race
    until the summer's Inter-High.
[07:03] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    Yeah.
[07:03] (Flashback) Manami
    I guess so.
[07:05] (Flashback) Toudou
    Don't be late this year, Manami.
[07:07] (Flashback) Manami
    I can't guarantee that.
[07:09] (Flashback) Toudou
    Oh, right. Give Four-Eyes your number.
[07:12] (Flashback) Toudou
    Have him call you the day of the race.
[07:13] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    Your number? Okay.
[07:19] Manami
    Sakamichi-kun...
[07:22] Manami
    Do you still like climbs?
[07:26] Sakamichi
    Yeah.
[07:27] Manami
    Then let's race.
[07:29] Manami
    It's decided.
[07:30] Sakamichi
    Yeah.
[07:32] Manami
    On that mountain...
[07:34] Manami
    Let's squeeze every bit of strength
    and fight to the end!
[07:43] Sakamichi
    Yeah.
[07:45] Sakamichi
    Well, I'd better get going.
[07:48] Yuto
    Should you have made that promise?
[07:53] Yuto
    Izumida-san told me to beat him
    once we enter the mountains.
[08:01] Manami
    You're only able to say that because you've
    never ridden against Sakamichi-kun before.
[08:06] Manami
    Don't worry.
[08:08] Manami
    Where and when don't matter.
[08:11] Manami
    We only agreed to ride together.
[08:14] Manami
    It's a small promise, but he
    always keeps his promises.
[08:22] Imaizumi
    They'll be coming soon.
[08:24] Imaizumi
    Once they wave that flag,
    the parade run will be over.
[08:28] Imaizumi
    The race will start.
[08:30] Sakamichi
    Okay.
[08:35] Sakamichi
    The battle is starting!
[08:41] Ohori
    Move aside, small fries!
[08:43] Ohori
    The sprinter's pride and first result
[08:45] Ohori
    belongs to Ohori from
    Fukuoka Jousei High School!
[08:49] Izumida
    Go, Doubashi.
[08:52] Rider A
    It's Hakone Academy High School's Doubashi.
[08:54] Rider B
    He's huge.
[08:55] Rider B
    He makes Izumida look small.
[08:58] Rider C
    He's Hakone Academy High School's undefeated
    sprinter who tears up the road,
[09:03] Rider C
    Road Monster Doubashi!
[09:05] Doubashi
    This race is starting to heat up.
[09:08] Izumida
    This is the Inter-High.
[09:10] Izumida
    As captain of Hakone Academy High School,
[09:13] Izumida
    I know I should keep my personal
    feelings out of the race.
[09:16] Izumida
    But...
[09:17] Izumida
    My right pec Andy and my
    left pec Frank are excited.
[09:22] Izumida
    They're overjoyed.
[09:25] Izumida
    First, Doubashi, push aside the other
    teams and take the first result.
[09:30] Izumida
    And...
[09:33] Izumida
    Whatever you do, don't lose
    to Sohoku High School!
[09:38] Doubashi
    Simple. That's an easy order, Izumida-san.
[09:41] Izumida
    My heart is leaping with joy.
[09:44] Izumida
    This is why I love the Inter-High.
[09:46] Izumida
    Go, Doubashi!
[09:50] Rider C
    They released a rampaging beast
    on the Inter-High course!
[09:54] Doubashi
    Move! Move, or I'll crush you!
[10:02] Rider D
    Doubashi?
[10:03] Doubashi
    Come on! Go faster!
[10:05] Doubashi
    If you ride that slowly,
    even the ants will catch up to you!
[10:09] Teshima
    Aoyagi, Kaburagi.
[10:11] Kaburagi
    Yes, sir.
[10:12] Teshima
    Go.
[10:13] Rider A
    Sohoku High School's making their move, too.
[10:15] Rider A
    It's third-year sprinter Aoyagi Hajime.
[10:18] Rider B
    And first-year Kaburagi, #6!
[10:21] Rider C
    Sohoku High School's sending
    two guys this year, too.
[10:23] Teshima
    Begin the pursuit.
[10:25] Teshima
    Chase down the sprinters in front of us
    and Hakone Academy High School!
[10:29] Kaburagi
    Wait, Teshima-san.
[10:33] Kaburagi
    We should have Naruko-san go here
    and save me for the finish line.
[10:37] Kaburagi
    After all, I'm an all-rounder.
[10:41] Sakamichi
    Huh? What?
[10:45] Kaburagi
    Who will race for the finish line if not me?
[10:49] Aoyagi
    Quit complaining. It's an order.
[10:49] Kaburagi
    Ow, ow! Let go!
[10:54] Kaburagi
    Let go! Teshima-san, take
    back your mistake, and...
[10:57] Aoyagi
    Let's go.
[10:58] Sakamichi
    You haven't told Kaburagi-kun what Koga-san
    said about his legs at the training camp?
[11:05] Teshima
    Nope.
[11:08] Teshima
    I'm counting on you, Aoyagi.
[11:14] Koga
    Hurry, Sugimoto.
[11:16] Sugimoto
    Yes, sir.
[11:17] Aya
    There's always a rush right after the start.
[11:21] Miki
    Yeah, it's hard work.
[11:23] Aya
    Why do you look so happy?
[11:27] Sugimoto
    Sawada, Gorizou, Sadatoki...
[11:30] Sugimoto
    Follow us in the bus.
[11:32] All
    Yes, sir.
[11:33] Aya
    Is it really okay for us to ride in the van?
[11:35] Miki
    Of course.
[11:37] Miki
    There's a lot to do in the feed zones
    that require a woman's touch.
[11:41] Aya
    I don't really have that.
[11:43] Aya
    Well, I'll do my best.
[11:44] Koga
    Kanzaki-san, we're counting on you.
[11:47] Toji
    Leave it to me.
[11:49] Danchiku
    Sugimoto-san...
[11:50] Sugimoto
    Danchiku.
[11:52] Danchiku
    Please take care of Issa—of Kaburagi Issa.
[11:56] Danchiku
    Cheer him on at the feed zone for me.
[11:59] Sugimoto
    Got it.
[12:01] Danchiku
    I want him to ride with no regrets
    in the race of his dreams.
[12:06] Danchiku
    Issa and I always rode together
    during middle school.
[12:10] Sugimoto
    Kaburagi's got a good friend in you.
[12:13] Koga
    Danchiku, get in.
[12:15] Danchiku
    What?
[12:16] Koga
    Sugimoto, could you pack our gear in
    tighter and get out the spare seat?
[12:19] Sugimoto
    I'll try.
[12:21] Danchiku
    But I...
[12:24] Koga
    You should tell him your pure wish yourself.
[12:29] Koga
    You'll give him strength as he rides.
[12:33] Danchiku
    Yes, sir.
[12:34] Toji
    Okay, let's go.
[12:40] Kaburagi
    Why am I being made to participate
    in a sprinter's race?
[12:42] Kaburagi
    Did Teshima-san make a mistake?
[12:45] Kaburagi
    I told him I'm an all-rounder
    a bunch of times.
[12:48] Kaburagi
    Maybe he thought I said "all-binder."
[12:51] Kaburagi
    A binder closes, the way I'm a closer of races.
[12:54] Rider E
    It's Sohoku High School.
[12:55] Rider F
    They caught up.
[12:57] Rider G
    Two? Sohoku High School sent
    two sprinters again this year?
[13:01] Kaburagi
    What?
[13:02] Kaburagi
    I'm not a sprinter!
[13:04] Kaburagi
    You got that?
[13:05] Rider G
    Hey, I'm a second-year!
[13:08] Kaburagi
    I don't care! I'm Sohoku
    High School's secret ace!
[13:11] Kaburagi
    I'm the all-rounder, Kaburagi Issa!
[13:13] Rider G
    You should care.
[13:15] Aoyagi
    Sorry.
[13:16] Rider G
    Oh, no. It's fine.
[13:19] Aoyagi
    Question, Kaburagi.
[13:22] Aoyagi
    This pack isn't the lead pack yet.
[13:24] Aoyagi
    Forty-three sprinters jumped
    ahead at the signal.
[13:28] Kaburagi
    You were counting?
[13:30] Aoyagi
    We've passed thirteen so far. So...
[13:33] Kaburagi
    There's twenty left!
[13:35] Aoyagi
    Thirty.
[13:36] Kaburagi
    Huh?
[13:39] Aoyagi
    Excluding the eight guys here,
    there are twenty-two in front of us.
[13:43] Aoyagi
    Among them is one of
    Hakone Academy High School's riders.
[13:46] Kaburagi
    I see.
[13:48] Aoyagi
    The first day of the course runs
    north along National Route 119.
SIGN    Touhoku
     Roadway
[13:53] Aoyagi
    We'll pass through wide two-lane city
    streets in practically a straight line.
SIGN    Kinugawa
    River
SIGN    Touhoku
    Bullet
    Train
SIGN    Nikkou
    Road
[13:57] Aoyagi
    That'll turn into a one-lane
    road passing under the highway.
[14:01] Aoyagi
    Just past where the road starts to be lined
    with pine trees is a three-way intersection.
[14:05] Aoyagi
    That's the first result line.
[14:07] Aoyagi
    The green number tag line.
[14:09] Kaburagi
    Really?
[14:11] Aoyagi
    The road just before the line
    is lined with pine trees.
[14:14] Aoyagi
    We'll be mostly unaffected by the wind.
[14:16] Aoyagi
    If we don't pass those twenty-two sprinters,
    they'll take first place away from us.
[14:21] Kaburagi
    I see.
[14:24] Aoyagi
    His eyes changed.
[14:25] Aoyagi
    Pull. It's your turn next.
[14:27] Rider E
    Damn. Sohoku High School's moving.
[14:30] Rider F
    Stop them.
[14:31] Kaburagi
    You can't stop us!
[14:32] Rider E
    They're fast.
[14:34] Shimizu
    There's a ninety-degree turn ahead.
[14:35] Shimizu
    I'll push my way into it.
[14:37] Shimizu
    I'm Kochi Tosaumi High School's
    sprinter, Shimizu.
[14:40] Shimizu
    They call me the Corner Magician.
[14:43] Shimizu
    No one's cornering is sharper than mine!
[14:49] Shimizu
    You can't be serious!
[14:52] Shimizu
    They're unbelievable.
[14:54] Shimizu
    That switch, that rise...
[14:57] Shimizu
    He's a natural-born sprinter!
[15:01] Kaburagi
    What? That's odd.
[15:03] Kaburagi
    Why can't anyone keep up with me
    when I'm just an all-rounder?
[15:10] Kaburagi
    I don't know if this is the second or third,
[15:12] Kaburagi
    but we've caught up to
    the pack in front of us.
[15:14] Kaburagi
    You're next, Aoyagi-san.
[15:16] Aoyagi
    Got it.
[15:20] Yagura
    You've arrived, Sohoku High School.
[15:21] Yagura
    I'm the sprinter of the North, Niigata
    Jouetsu Higashi High School's Yaguramaru.
[15:26] Yagura
    Last year you had Tadokoro, but this
    year's Sohoku High School is so small.
[15:38] Yagura
    H-He's not small!
[15:39] Yagura
    His body transformed!
[15:42] Aoyagi
    You mean torso.
[15:43] Aoyagi
    Your muscles expand when you use them.
[15:47] Aoyagi
    Apparently, my difference
    in size is a bit extreme.
[15:50] Aoyagi
    My torso has currently expanded
    to its maximum size.
[15:54] Aoyagi
    In other words, I'm about to...
[15:56] Aoyagi
    Start riding as hard as I can!
[15:59] Aoyagi
    Tadokoro-san's Supersonic
    Oxygen Human Bullet!
[16:06] Yagura
    Huh? They're already out of sight.
[16:09] Kaburagi
    Wow, we pulled ahead of them in no time.
[16:13] Kaburagi
    It feels seriously awesome to do
    something like this at the Inter-High.
[16:18] Kaburagi
    But spare a thought for the
    guy behind you, Aoyagi-san.
[16:22] Kaburagi
    After all, I'm not a sprinter.
[16:24] Kaburagi
    I almost fell behind.
[16:28] Aoyagi
    Yaguramaru's a top-class sprinter, too.
[16:30] Kaburagi
    What?
[16:31] Aoyagi
    He kept up.
[16:36] (Flashback) Aoyagi
    All out?
[16:37] (Flashback) Teshima
    That's right. If you have
    the opportunity, test him.
[16:41] (Flashback) Teshima
    Sprint as hard as you
    can with him behind you.
[16:43] (Flashback) Aoyagi
    Are you sure you want 100%?
    What if he falls behind?
[16:47] (Flashback) Teshima
    Then you'll have to leave him behind.
[16:50] (Flashback) Teshima
    Unfortunately, if he can't
    keep up, either way...
[16:54] (Flashback) Teshima
    He won't stand a chance at the front.
[16:56] Kaburagi
    What are you talking about?
[16:58] Kaburagi
    That Yagura-san can't be top-class.
[17:00] Aoyagi
    He kept up with me at 100% acceleration,
    Junta. On top of that...
[17:06] Kaburagi
    Are you sure he's not a climber?
[17:09] Aoyagi
    He's still talking.
[17:11] Aoyagi
    In other words, he stands a
    chance at the front of the pack.
[17:15] Kaburagi
    I see the pack in front of us.
[17:18] Kaburagi
    Once we catch up,
    it'll be my turn. Let's switch.
[17:22] Kaburagi
    Finally.
[17:23] Aoyagi
    Let's head to the front, Kaburagi.
[17:26] Kaburagi
    What's gotten into you, Aoyagi-san?
[17:27] Kaburagi
    You seem happy.
[17:29] Aoyagi
    Shut up, and follow me!
[17:31] Kaburagi
    Yes, sir!
[17:32] Aoyagi
    Human Bullet!
[17:36] Rider A
    The sprinters who gave up on the
    first result are falling back.
[17:39] Rider B
    Is Hakone Academy High School's
    Doubashi in the front?
[17:42] Rider C
    He went flying ahead at a crazy speed.
[17:45] Rider A
    I heard Fukuoka's Ohori is
    in good shape this year.
[17:49] Rider B
    Who's the fastest sprinter?
[17:51] Naruko
    I really want to go!
[17:54] Naruko
    My body's saying, "Are you stupid?
    Why are you riding so slowly on the flats?"
[17:59] Naruko
    I could probably still make it if I left now.
[18:01] Naruko
    I could slip past these guys and
    take this year's first result!
[18:05] Naruko
    This is the Inter-High.
[18:06] Naruko
    They're racing to see who's the fastest.
[18:08] Naruko
    When will you go if not now,
    Naruko Shoukichi?
[18:11] Naruko
    My blood is screaming!
[18:14] Naruko
    I can't take it!
[18:15] Naruko
    I'm going.
[18:19] Imaizumi
    You're enduring it well, Naruko.
[18:22] Naruko
    W-Well, yeah. Th-This is nothing.
[18:27] Naruko
    That was close.
[18:29] Imaizumi
    As a guy who loves being flashy,
[18:31] Imaizumi
    it must've been hard not participating
    in a sprint through the city.
[18:35] Naruko
    I'm totally fine.
[18:37] Imaizumi
    Your expression fails to match your words.
[18:40] Imaizumi
    Whatever the case, I'm grateful you
    switched to being an all-rounder.
[18:46] Naruko
    I didn't do it for you, idiot.
[18:48] Izumida
    You're not going, Sohoku High School's
    Naruko Shoukichi?
[18:52] Naruko
    Hakone Academy High School's Lashes!
[18:54] Naruko
    He's here to spy on us.
[18:56] Naruko
    I thought it'd be no fun if I raced,
    since it'd be a blowout.
[19:00] Naruko
    I let my senior and junior go instead.
[19:03] Izumida
    Is this their plan?
[19:04] Izumida
    He doesn't seem unwell.
[19:07] Izumida
    We sent Doubashi since he's been
    doing well since this spring.
[19:10] Naruko
    You're acting calm, but you're
    actually desperate to go, aren't you?
[19:15] Izumida
    Frank...
[19:18] Izumida
    There's no point in hiding it.
[19:20] Izumida
    That's exactly right, Naruko-kun.
[19:22] Izumida
    Are you sad you don't get
    to hear me shout "abs, abs"?
[19:26] Naruko
    It's the perfect way to cheer someone up.
[19:29] Naruko
    I wanted to show off my secret weapon, too.
[19:35] Izumida
    Then shall we race, Naruko-kun?
[19:38] Naruko
    Bring it on, Lashes!
[19:41] Izumida
    All the muscles in my body are screaming!
[19:45] Naruko
    My blood's about to boil because of you!
[19:48] Naruko
    You've reminded me of last year's battle!
[19:52] Naruko
    It's 200 meters to the big flag up ahead.
[19:55] Naruko
    Let's see who reaches it first!
[19:57] Izumida
    Very well! Abs!
[19:59] Both
    It's on!
[20:01] Imaizumi
    Wait, Naruko.
[20:01] Kuroda
    Wait, Touichirou.
[20:03] Imaizumi
    Don't waste your energy.
[20:05] Imaizumi
    The race has only just started.
[20:09] Kuroda
    Don't jump ahead, Touichirou.
[20:12] Kuroda
    What are you, a grasshopper?
[20:14] Izumida
    My muscles are delighted to have
    returned to the Inter-High.
[20:19] Izumida
    I was expressing how they felt.
[20:21] Kuroda
    Are you a pervert?
[20:22] Izumida
    Is that a compliment, Yuki?
[20:26] Izumida
    My muscles have gotten stronger.
[20:28] Izumida
    They've become more flexible.
[20:31] Izumida
    Far more than last year.
[20:37] Naruko
    I could tell through his clothes.
[20:41] Izumida
    We'll race later, Naruko-kun.
[20:44] Naruko
    Yeah.
[20:46] Izumida
    By the way, what kind of sprinters did
    Sohoku High School send to the sprint battle?
[20:51] Naruko
    What?
[20:52] Izumida
    Our Doubashi is even more abnormal than me.
[20:57] Naruko
    Abnormal?
[20:59] Izumida
    He never slacks off.
[21:02] Izumida
    He's proud to be a part of
    Hakone Academy High School.
[21:05] Izumida
    He's blessed with a powerful body,
    and he's as competitive as a beast.
[21:09] Izumida
    It's as they say. He's a monster.
[21:13] Izumida
    If all you're challenging him with
    is a bit of hard work or talent,
[21:17] Izumida
    you won't beat him.
[21:19] Izumida
    Everyone who has challenged him
    and lost says the same thing.
[21:24] Izumida
    "The moment I caught up to him,
    all the hairs on my body stood up,
[21:28] Izumida
    and my legs quailed."
[21:31] Izumida
    He's even more abnormal than I am.
[23:10] Manami
    It's cold. I need a kotatsu.
[23:13] Toudou
    It's because you're so lightly dressed.
[23:17] Toudou
    Here, put this on. You, too, Four-Eyes.
[23:20] Sakamichi
    B-But won't you be cold, Toudou-san?
[23:24] Toudou
    Don't worry.
[23:26] Toudou
    Not only can I climb,
    but I'm also cold-resistant.
[23:28] Toudou
    On top of that, I'm beautiful.
[23:30] Toudou
    No matter where or when I am, I'm perfect.

    Two guys from Sohoku High School
    caught up at the very end!
[00:25] Fan B
    You idiot! Didn't you watch last year's race?
[00:28] Fan A
    What?
[00:29] Fan B
    Sohoku High School always cuts it close!

[02:13] Kaburagi
    But there's one, two, three...
[02:16] Aoyagi
    I subtracted the number we passed
    from the number that rode ahead.
[02:18] Kaburagi
    That's amazing!
[02:20] Fan C
    Sohoku High School caught up to the front!
[02:22] Fan D
    There's only four kilometers
    left to the first result line!
[02:25] Kaburagi
    Hey, it's you.
[02:27] Kaburagi
    That jersey, that number tag...
[02:33] Kaburagi
    You're that guy from
    Hakone Academy High School!
[02:36] (Flashback) Both
    You wanna fight, huh?
[02:40] Aoyagi
    Doubashi...
[02:42] Aoyagi
    This is Doubashi, the Monster of the Road?
[02:46] Aoyagi
    He's certainly different from the
    other riders I've fought against.
[02:51] Aoyagi
    He's as intimidating as a large, wild beast.
[02:55] Aoyagi
    His oppressive air makes me feel
    like I couldn't beat him in a fight.
[02:58] Aoyagi
    That pressure flows from his entire body.
[03:01] Aoyagi
    His confidence is creating that.
[03:04] Aoyagi
    He's a second-year.
[03:06] Aoyagi
    He bears the scars of countless falls.
[03:08] Aoyagi
    Why wasn't he in this race last year?
[03:10] Aoyagi
    This battle will come down to a split-second.
[03:14] Aoyagi
    Do you feel that pressure, too, Kaburagi?
[03:19] Kaburagi
    You're that pig from
    Hakone Academy High School!
[03:21] Kaburagi
    What are you doing here, pig?
[03:24] Aoyagi
    He doesn't feel it?
[03:25] Aoyagi
    Did he just call him a pig?
[03:26] Doubashi
    You're the orange from this morning.
[03:30] Doubashi
    You're a sprinter, huh?
[03:32] Kaburagi
    I'm not a sprinter.
[03:34] Kaburagi
    I'm just here because of a mistake.
[03:37] Kaburagi
    You're wearing tag #15.
[03:40] Kaburagi
    That means you're 15th on the
    Hakone Academy High School lineup.
[03:43] Kaburagi

    I'm not an idiot!
[03:58] Kaburagi
    If anything, I'm...
[04:00] Kaburagi
    That's right! A genius!
[04:02] Aoyagi
    Kaburagi!
[04:03] Doubashi
    Fine. Riding's the best
    way to shut an idiot up.
[04:08] Aoyagi
    He's moving.
[04:09] Aoyagi
    His pressure just skyrocketed.
[04:11] Doubashi
    I was just getting bored with taking it easy.
[04:14] Rider A
    Crap, Doubashi's going to increase his pace!
[04:17] Rider A
    After him!
[04:18] Rider B
    Senpai, I can't.
[04:20] Rider B
    My legs are too weak to move.
[04:27] Fan
    Wow, look at him accelerate!
[04:33] Aoyagi
    We didn't make it in time.
[04:35] Aoyagi
    We left at the same time, too.
[04:37] Aoyagi
    But before I knew it,
    he was five meters ahead.
[04:39] Aoyagi
    While I was getting in position,
    he got ten meters ahead.
[04:44] Aoyagi
    I knew it was coming,
    but I couldn't react in time.
[04:47] Aoyagi
    Three kilometers until the first result line.
[04:51] Aoyagi
    This is the end.
[04:53] Kaburagi
    Is it time yet?
[04:56] Kaburagi
    Are you ready? How much longer?
[04:58] Kaburagi
    I'm ready to pull.
[05:00] Kaburagi
    Isn't that our strategy to catch up?
[05:02] Kaburagi
    I heard what they said.
[05:04] Kaburagi
    Sohoku High School always
    cuts it close, right?
[05:07] Aoyagi
    He's an unbelievable idiot.
[05:11] Aoyagi
    You think we can catch up?
[05:12] Kaburagi
    Well, with the way that pig accelerated,
    even an all-rounder like me could catch up!
[05:25] Kaburagi
    I'm catching glimpses of him.
[05:28] Kaburagi
    We're keeping up in acceleration.
[05:29] Kaburagi
    We'll gradually catch up to him.
[05:31] Kaburagi
    But there's two and a half kilometers left.
[05:33] Kaburagi
    We don't have time to take it slow!
[05:40] Aoyagi
    His pressure increased when he
    grasped his lower handlebars.
[05:44] Kaburagi
    Here we go. Don't fall behind.
[05:47] Kaburagi
    Did you notice?
[05:49] Kaburagi
    I just grabbed my lower handlebars
    for the first time this race.
[05:54] Kaburagi
    I'd been holding my uppers this whole time.
[05:56] Kaburagi
    I thought it'd be cool to have
    a sealed move in reserve.
[06:02] Aoyagi
    He's leaning so far forward.
[06:04] Aoyagi
    But his reason seems so stupid.
[06:06] Aoyagi
    Cool? Sealed move?
[06:08] Kaburagi
    I was hoping to hold onto it until
    just before the finish line, though.
[06:12] Aoyagi
    And he wanted to know if I noticed?
[06:15] Aoyagi
    Kaburagi, I've been watching from behind,
    and while we were passing the others,
[06:19] Aoyagi
    you were holding your lower handlebars.
[06:21] Aoyagi
    Did you not notice?
[06:26] Aoyagi
    It doesn't matter.
[06:27] Kaburagi
    Lower handlebar released!
[06:30] Aoyagi
    Advance, Kaburagi!
[06:34] Aoyagi
    Such incredible acceleration.
[06:36] Aoyagi
    I'm right behind, but I feel
    like I'm going to fall behind.
[06:38] Aoyagi
    He must've been practicing on his
    own for the Inter-High since then.
[06:45] (Flashback) Aoyagi
    You're not going home yet?
[06:47] (Flashback) Kaburagi
    Oh, no. Well, actually...

    is the only one with the soda I like.

    Damn it. I can't break 1:20.
[07:12] (Flashback) Kaburagi
    Maybe I'm rising too far up when I'm dancing,
     but sometimes my rear tire slips.
[07:16] (Flashback) Kaburagi
    Maybe I'm putting too much load on the front.

[10:09] Kaburagi
    During middle school,
    Danchiku and I joined Team SS.
[10:15] Kaburagi
    They were tough and strict.
[10:18] Kaburagi
    They had a lot of rules, too.
[10:20] Kaburagi
    But I wanted to get stronger,
    so I grit my teeth and kept riding.
[10:25] Kaburagi
    I was always frustrated.
[10:27] Kaburagi
    They told me not to smile, except when I won.
[10:31] Kaburagi
    I thought I was riding to win.
[10:33] Kaburagi
    I worked hard, but I didn't
    really see results.
[10:37] Kaburagi
    It's strange, though.
[10:39] Kaburagi
    Since I started high school
    and joined this team...
[10:42] Kaburagi
    Imaizumi-san is too logical and sarcastic.
[10:46] Kaburagi
    Naruko-san is overbearing and annoying.
[10:48] Kaburagi
    And Onoda-san, who I thought
    I admired, is unreliable.
[10:53] Kaburagi
    But I'm having so much fun.
[10:55] Kaburagi
    What do you suppose this feeling is?
[10:57] Kaburagi
    Chasing after the pig in front of us is
    really tough and takes everything I have,
[11:02] Kaburagi
    but I'm having a lot of fun.
[11:05] Kaburagi
    I feel like I've gotten stronger
    since joining this team.
[11:10] Kaburagi
    Watching Koga-san, Sugimoto-san,
    Teshima-san, and everyone else ride
[11:14] Kaburagi
    has made something well up inside me.
[11:18] Kaburagi
    I feel like they're pushing me forward.
[11:21] Kaburagi
    Oh, but not so much you, Aoyagi-san.
[11:25] Kaburagi
    You don't really push.
[11:26] Aoyagi
    Hey.
[11:27] Aoyagi
    Quit complaining.
[11:29] Aoyagi
    Do you think we can catch up?
[11:31] Kaburagi
    I honestly have a feeling we can.
[11:33] Kaburagi
    I've been conserving my energy.
[11:37] Kaburagi
    And this is the first time I've told anyone,
    but I have God on my side.

    If they do, show them.

    Either way, I'll win.

    Why do I have to assist?
[13:00] (Flashback) Senpai

    hit third-year Hamauchi?
[13:21] (Flashback) Doubashi
    I controlled myself. I did as I was told.
[13:25] (Flashback) Doubashi
    I controlled myself and launched
    Hamauchi-san before the finish line.
[13:29] (Flashback) Doubashi
    I put him in the perfect position.
[13:30] (Flashback) Doubashi
    But then...
[13:31] (Flashback) Doubashi
    Damn it. I pulled you here.
[13:33] (Flashback) Doubashi
    Go, Hamauchi-san.
[13:35] (Flashback) Doubashi
    Go, hurry!
[13:36] (Flashback) Hamauchi
    You idiot, you pulled too fast.
[13:40] (Flashback) Hamauchi
    It took everything I had to keep up.
[13:42] (Flashback) Hamauchi
    I don't have the strength left to sprint.
[13:47] (Flashback) Doubashi
    Can you believe he said that?
[13:49] (Flashback) Doubashi

    He started it!

    I just told him to move because he was

    He's gotten quieter lately.
[17:25] (Flashback) Second-Year
    It's already his third
    time joining the club.
[17:29] (Flashback) Hamauchi
    I heard they made him sign
    an agreement that he'd
[17:31] (Flashback) Hamauchi
    quit the club forever the
    next time he hit someone.
[17:33] (Flashback) Second-Year
    Seriously?
[17:34] (Flashback) Second-Year
    His performance has quieted
    down a lot, too.
[17:44] (Flashback) Izumida
    Doubashi, we need to talk.
[17:46] (Flashback) Doubashi
    What? Yes, sir.
[17:48] (Flashback) Izumida
    Why don't we go for a ride?
[17:52] (Flashback) Izumida
    What's wrong? You've been
    quiet lately, Doubashi.
[17:57] (Flashback) Doubashi
    Well...
[17:58] (Flashback) Izumida
    Your performance is declining, too.
[17:59] (Flashback) Doubashi
    They kept telling me performance
    wasn't everything,
[18:02] Doubashi
    so I did my best and tried to control myself.

    You've quit the Hakone Academy High School

[18:08] (Flashback) Izumida

[18:13] (Flashback) Izumida
    I talked Fukutomi-san into
    letting me handle your future...

    ...as another sprinter.
[18:21] (Flashback) Doubashi
    Wait! Wait, Izumida-san.
[18:24] (Flashback) Doubashi
    I want to keep riding.
[18:26] (Flashback) Doubashi
    I want to keep riding at
    Hakone Academy High School.
[18:29] (Flashback) Doubashi
    I have to control myself, right?

    What are you talking about, abs?
[18:36] (Flashback) Izumida
    What I meant, abs...
[18:38] (Flashback) Doubashi
    Abs?
[18:40] (Flashback) Izumida
    You're blessed with a
    great build and explosive power.
[18:43] (Flashback) Izumida
    Telling you to control yourself is the
    same as not polishing the spear you have.
[18:48] (Flashback) Izumida
    Not many sprinters hold true spears.
[18:52] (Flashback) Izumida
    You should stand out.
[18:55] (Flashback) Izumida
    Bare your overflowing emotions.
[18:59] (Flashback) Izumida
    Don't you want to see how far they can reach?
[19:03] (Flashback) Izumida
    Not reason. Not words.

    Your inner self.
[19:08] (Flashback) Izumida
    Your irrepressible emotions.
[19:09] (Flashback) Izumida
    That's strength.
[19:11] (Flashback) Izumida
    Why wouldn't you use them?
[19:14] (Flashback) Izumida
    Why keep your spear sheathed?
[19:16] Doubashi
    Strength...
[19:19] (Flashback) Izumida
    There's no need for control. Release.
[19:22] (Flashback) Izumida
    Control your emotions with concentration.

    Interesting. Emotion is strength.

    You say I can do it, Izumida-san?
    Then I'll do it.
[19:58] Doubashi
    I'll put the man inside me on full display!

    It's been decided since the beginning.
[20:22] Doubashi
    There's only one truth, and that's winning!
[20:26] Doubashi
    Irrepressible emotion! That's strength!

    What was that? That was different
    from his other shouts.
[20:37] Fan 2
    He's like a wild animal.

    This is the eleventh hour

    What was that?

    crossed my mind for a second.

[00:11] Aoyagi
    I'll believe in myself and

    Kaburagi is a hard worker.
[00:16] Aoyagi
    If we get this...
[00:18] Aoyagi
    I'll shower him with praise.

    After all, I'm in this position
    because of his hard work.

    I'll introduce him to you sometime.

[00:41] Aoyagi
    He's a little stupid, though.
[00:44] Aoyagi
    You'd probably say that's
    what's good about him.
[00:49] Aoyagi
    But first, I'll definitely...
[00:52] Aoyagi
    Take the first result!
[00:55] Aoyagi
    That's my job!
[00:58] Aoyagi
    My legs will make it.
[01:00] Aoyagi
    You just wait, Junta.
[01:01] Aoyagi
    I'll bring back the green number—

    Run.

    Hey, run faster!
[01:14] Doubashi
    This jersey is too small.
[01:18] Doubashi

    Come on, run. I'll...

    Stronger?
[05:17] (Flashback) Teshima

    His pulling is amazing.
[05:37] (Flashback) Aoyagi
    They're right.
[05:38] (Flashback) Aoyagi
    I'm pulling, not running.
[05:41] (Flashback) Aoyagi
    Running requires stronger acceleration.
[05:45] (Flashback) Aoyagi
    Which means...
[05:47] Aoyagi
    That's how these legs were born.
[05:49] Aoyagi
    That became this, Bambi Style.
[05:52] Aoyagi
    If surviving makes you the strongest,
[05:54] Aoyagi
    then the strongest animals on Earth
    are the always-fleeing herbivores.
[05:58] Aoyagi
    These are legs of certain escape!
[06:04] Aoyagi
    I'll pull ahead of him and
    run to the result line.
[06:07] Aoyagi
    Then nobody can beat me!
[06:10] Aoyagi
    I'll win! You just watch, Junta!
[06:13] Aoyagi
    You're always saving me with your ideas!

    I'll make it last!
[06:24] Aoyagi
    It's my turn to return the favor, Junta!
[06:30] Doubashi
    Do you know how much Hakone Academy
    High School trains every day?
[06:35] Doubashi
    Do you know how unforgiving the
    member selection tournament is?
[06:39] Doubashi
    You're trying to run from me, aren't you?
[06:43] Aoyagi
    Doubashi!
[06:44] Aoyagi
    He's right behind me.
[06:46] Doubashi
    Sorry, but prey that's fleeing

    T-Teshima-san, do you
    think Aoyagi-san will win?
[07:00] Teshima
    Huh?
[07:01] Sakamichi
    Oh, I just...
[07:02] Sakamichi
    Hakone Academy High School's #15 was
    big and seemed strong, so I thought...
[07:08] Teshima
    You mean Doubashi?
[07:09] Teshima
    He's in your grade. He's a second-year.
[07:13] Sakamichi
    What?!
[07:15] Teshima
    If size were the determining factor,
    then Aoyagi would lose.
[07:19] Teshima
    But that's not what road racing is about.
[07:22] Teshima
    It's a combination of willpower,
    conditions, teamwork, and strategy.
[07:28] Teshima
    You use everything you can
    to find an opportunity.
[07:32] Teshima
    You work together, strategize,
    look out for your teammates,
[07:36] Teshima
    give everything you've got, and throw
    your wheels across the finish line.
[07:40] Teshima
    I'm betting on Aoyagi.
[07:45] Teshima
    Believe in the strength of
    Aoyagi and Kaburagi, Onoda.
[07:50] Teshima
    Remember what he said?
    It's not the two of them.
[07:55] Teshima
    The six of us together are a team.
[07:59] Doubashi
    Run faster, little Bambi!
[08:06] Aoyagi
    I won't last much longer.
[08:08] Aoyagi
    Damn it.

    It's right there. This'll be easy.

    Thanks for the meal, Bambi!

    Whatever you do, don't lose

    But they were nothing special!

    There's 400 meters left!
    They're finally neck and neck!

    Three?

    Aoyagi-san!
[08:41] Kaburagi
    I got a really bad feeling
    about this, so I followed him!
[08:49] Teshima
    We have two cards up our sleeve,
    so we'll make full use of both of them.
[08:55] Teshima
    That's Sohoku High School's style,
[08:58] Teshima
    Hakone Academy High School!
[09:00] Doubashi
    What are you doing here, orange?
[09:03] Doubashi
    Was he sticking behind me? No...
[09:07] Doubashi
    But I turned around to check numerous times.
[09:09] Doubashi
    I know I didn't see him.
[09:13] Doubashi
    Was he hiding in the blind
    spot created by my jersey?
[09:19] Doubashi
    Orange!
[09:20] Kaburagi
    Pig!
[09:22] Aoyagi
    It was one in ten thousand.
[09:25] Aoyagi
    I only told Kaburagi to pull for me
    so I could go all out at the end.
[09:31] Aoyagi
    But he sensed the danger in a moment
    and reflexively pursued Doubashi.
[09:39] Aoyagi
    I can't believe he caught up.
[09:41] Aoyagi
    I only imagined there might be a one in ten
    thousand chance that this might happen.
[09:46] Aoyagi
    He's an idiot...
[09:47] Aoyagi
    But he's perceptive.
[09:50] Kaburagi
    Aoyagi-san!
[09:54] Kaburagi
    Get behind me!
[09:56] Kaburagi
    I'll pull for you again.
[09:57] Kaburagi
    I'll launch you.
[09:58] Kaburagi
    I need you to sprint.
[10:00] Kaburagi
    Let me handle this pig, Aoyagi-san!
[10:03] Fan
    Three hundred and fifty meters left!
[10:06] Doubashi
    Don't get ahead of yourselves.
[10:08] Doubashi
    Increasing your numbers from one
    to two won't change anything.
[10:11] Doubashi
    I'll pass you, too, orange!
[10:15] Kaburagi
    A sprinter like Aoyagi-san won't have
    any trouble with a sub like you, pig!
[10:20] Aoyagi
    There's a light shining...
[10:23] Aoyagi
    On Sohoku High School.
[10:25] Aoyagi
    If I used my Bambi Style, I thought...
[10:28] Kaburagi
    What? Where's the light?
[10:30] Aoyagi
    I thought I could pull ahead of Doubashi.
[10:32] Aoyagi
    I thought I'd make it to the result line.
[10:35] Aoyagi
    But he's stronger than I thought.
[10:38] Aoyagi
    He stopped my legs of certain
    escape and caught up.
[10:43] Aoyagi
    I thought I might not be able to win.
[10:48] Aoyagi
    You should take the sprint.
[10:51] Aoyagi
    You're the light, Kaburagi.
[10:54] Aoyagi
    You can do it.
[10:57] Kaburagi
    I can't!

    I'm an all-rounder!
[11:00] Aoyagi
    What? He's still saying that?
[11:03] Aoyagi
    I take back what I said.
[11:05] Aoyagi
    He's totally imperceptive.
[11:07] Aoyagi
    Do it!
[11:08] Kaburagi
    I can't!
[11:09] Aoyagi
    Take it!
[11:10] Kaburagi
    I can't!
[11:11] Kaburagi
    The pig is accelerating.
[11:12] Kaburagi
    He's entering a sprinting form.
[11:14] Aoyagi
    He'll pull ahead.
[11:17] Aoyagi
    Give the last bit of
    strength you have, Hajime!
[11:21] Kaburagi
    Why are you jumping ahead, Aoyagi-san?
[11:24] Aoyagi
    I'm blocking the wind!
[11:25] Kaburagi
    Why would you spend your strength
    for the result line now?
[11:29] Aoyagi
    Idiot. I've already exhausted my Bambi Style.
[11:32] Aoyagi
    I don't have the strength left to sprint.
[11:36] Aoyagi
    When I give the signal, go!
[11:38] Kaburagi
    I'm not going!
[11:39] Aoyagi
    I thought you believed in God!
[11:41] Kaburagi
    What? I do, but so what?
[11:44] Kaburagi
    Where's God right now?
[11:47] Kaburagi
    There are no vending machines around.
[11:55] Kaburagi
    G-God's notepad...
[12:00] Aoyagi
    I can't believe I had this in my pocket.

    Sprint!
[13:08] Doubashi
    I've won countless sprints before now.
[13:11] Doubashi
    I've crushed sprinters
    that others called strong.
[13:15] Doubashi
    That's why I can feel who's a real sprinter,
    who's going for the result line...
[13:21] Doubashi
    And how fast a sprinter someone is.
[13:24] Doubashi
    But I didn't even notice until now
    that this orange is a sprinter.
[13:30] Kaburagi
    I understand, God. I'll do it.
[13:33] Kaburagi
    I'll use everything you taught me...
[13:37] Kaburagi
    ...to win this sprint!
[13:41] Doubashi
    It skyrocketed. What's going
    on with his pressure?
[13:45] Doubashi
    He was acting as the third-year
    Aoyagi's assistant until now.
[13:48] Doubashi
    But he's changed completely.
[13:49] Doubashi
    That's the face of a
    sprinter aiming for first.
[13:52] Doubashi
    Only those riding on the
    course could feel the tension
[13:56] Doubashi
    flowing through the air right now.
[14:01] Doubashi
    That moment when an arrow is loosed towards
    its target and time seems to stand still.
[14:07] Doubashi
    This tense moment of silence.
[14:14] Doubashi
    The final sprint is starting!
[14:25] Aoyagi
    Go, Kaburagi!
[14:28] Kaburagi
    Yes, sir!
[14:39] Fan
    They're neck and neck!
[14:41] Fan
    Two hundred meters left!
[14:46] Fan
    Sohoku High School's resting!
[14:48] Doubashi
    What is he doing? Does he
    have strength to spare?
[14:57] Doubashi
    He's accelerating!
[15:03] Doubashi
    He took a moment to rest behind
    me before accelerating again.
[15:08] Doubashi
    Two-stage acceleration...
[15:09] Doubashi
    I can't predict his movements.
[15:12] Doubashi
    What's his next move?
[15:13] Doubashi
    Is he a genius, or just an idiot?
[15:18] Doubashi
    But this situation itself
    is advantageous to me.
[15:21] Doubashi
    I can ride behind him.
[15:23] Doubashi
    What will he do? He's not moving.
[15:26] Doubashi
    Is he not thinking?
[15:27] Doubashi
    He's a mysterious sprinter...
[15:31] Doubashi
    But he's an idiot!
[15:33] Fan A
    Hakone Academy High School's
    sticking right behind him!
[15:36] Fan B
    He's saving his strength
    by hiding from the wind!
[15:38] Doubashi
    I'll show you my monster sprint!
[15:42] Doubashi
    I don't lose!
[15:43] Doubashi
    I'm Hakone Academy High School!
[15:45] Fan
    This year's fastest sprinter
    is about to be decided!
[15:49] Fan
    One hundred meters left!
[15:51] Kaburagi
    Go in, go in, go in, go in...
[15:54] Doubashi
    What? "Go in"?
[15:56] Doubashi
    Is it his gears?
[15:57] Doubashi
    Is he having trouble switching into top gear?
[16:02] Doubashi
    How unfortunate for him.
[16:03] Doubashi
    No wonder his acceleration was lacking.
[16:06] Doubashi
    Orange, I wish I could've raced you
    when you weren't having bike trouble.
[16:13] Fan
    Doubashi's making his move!
     He's jumping ahead!
[16:16] Kaburagi
    Go in!
[16:19] (Flashback) Kaburagi
    What?
[16:20] (Flashback) Kaburagi
    What do I think about before the finish line?
[16:23] (Flashback) Kaburagi
    Big gears.
[16:25] (Flashback) Aoyagi
    What?
[16:27] (Flashback) Kaburagi
    I imagine gears.
[16:29] (Flashback) Kaburagi
    Strangely enough, when they fit together,
    it makes me feel really strong.
[16:34] Kaburagi
    Go in.
[16:36] Kaburagi
    Go in!
[16:39] Kaburagi
    It's in!
[16:41] Kaburagi
    All right!
[16:42] Aoyagi
    Go, Kaburagi!
[16:44] Doubashi
    It's not bike trouble?
[16:52] Doubashi
    There's 80 meters to the first result line.
[16:55] Kaburagi
    I...
[16:55] Doubashi
    I...
[16:57] Both
    I'll win!
[16:59] Kaburagi
    Pig!
[17:00] Kaburagi
    I got this!
[17:01] Doubashi
    Orange!
[17:03] Doubashi
    He's coming!
[17:04] Both
    Sprint!
[17:05] Fan
    They're both accelerating!
[17:11] Both
    I'll win!
[17:13] Fan
    Fifty meters left!
[17:14] Doubashi
    Too limited. They're too limited.
[17:17] Doubashi
    The world's rules are too limited.
[17:20] Doubashi
    Line up.
[17:21] Doubashi
    Don't move.
[17:22] Doubashi
    Don't talk back.
[17:24] Doubashi
    I've always been a big guy.
[17:26] Doubashi
    That's why I stick out.
[17:29] Doubashi
    But what's wrong with that?
[17:30] Doubashi
    I'm right.
[17:32] Doubashi
    But for a while, I was unsure.
[17:35] Doubashi
    I tried to fit within the
    limited rules of society.
[17:39] Doubashi
    That's when Izumida-san told me to stick out.
[17:45] Doubashi
    He said I could ride the way I wanted.
[17:49] Doubashi
    He told me to take the first result!
[17:52] Doubashi
    How could I not give everything
    I've got to win it?
[17:57] Doubashi
    The first result line is mine!
[17:59] Doubashi
    I'm bringing it home to
    Hakone Academy High School, Izumida-san!
[18:06] Kaburagi
    Seriously? What is this
    that's flowing out of me?
[18:09] Kaburagi
    It's so fast.
[18:10] Kaburagi
    It's super fast.
[18:12] Kaburagi
    My heart hurts, but I can't stop.
[18:14] Kaburagi
    It's like all the gears in
    my body are locked together.
[18:17] Kaburagi
    From the top of my head
    to the tips of my toes,
[18:19] Kaburagi
    they're all connected and
    moving forward as one.
[18:21] Kaburagi
    Am I excited by this sprint?
[18:24] Kaburagi
    My body's telling me to pass
    the guy in front of me.
[18:28] Kaburagi
    All the blood in my body is boiling!
[18:31] Fan
    Thirty meters left!
[18:32] Kaburagi
    Win, win, win!
[18:35] Kaburagi
    I'll win!
[18:38] Kaburagi
    It's boiling.
[18:40] Aoyagi
    Go, Kaburagi.
[18:42] Aoyagi
    You can do it!
[18:48] Fan
    They're neck and neck again!
[18:49] Fan
    It's the final sprint!
[18:52] Fan 1
    I thought Doubashi looked like he would
    play dirty, but he's an honorable racer.
[18:58] Fan 2
    I've seen most of his races.
[19:01] Fan 2
    He talks a big game and has a huge attitude,
    but he always fights head-to-head.
[19:06] Fan 2
    He always plays fair.
[19:09] Fan 2
    That's why he has so many fans!
[19:11] Fan
    Doubashi!
[19:12] Fan
    Go, Hakone Academy High School's Doubashi!
[19:14] Club 1
    Doubashi-senpai, you can do it!
[19:16] Club 2
    Pedal harder, Senpai!
[19:19] Doubashi
    I know.
[19:21] Doubashi
    I finally made it to the Inter-High.
[19:24] Doubashi
    If I don't win this, all the races I
    won since this spring are worthless.
[19:32] Kaburagi
    The pig's a few centimeters ahead.
[19:35] Kaburagi
    Damn it!
[19:36] Kaburagi
    The line's right in front
    of me. I can see it.
[19:38] Kaburagi
    My muscles are about to shatter.
[19:40] Kaburagi
    But I know I have to overcome this trial.
[19:46] Kaburagi
    Right, God?
[19:48] Kaburagi
    Why did Aoyagi-san's face pop into my head?
[19:51] Kaburagi
    I don't know. It doesn't matter.
[19:54] Kaburagi
    It's the final push!
[19:58] Kaburagi
    Boil, damn it!
[20:11] Fan
    The first result has been decided!
[20:14] Fan
    Hakone Academy High School's Doubashi wins!
[20:16] Fan
    Sohoku High School caught up at the end!
[20:18] Fan
    Hakone Academy High School stayed ahead!
[20:20] Fan
    It was Sohoku High School!
[20:27] Doubashi
    You idiot, you didn't win.
[20:30] Kaburagi
    Fool. You didn't notice?
[20:33] Kaburagi
    I got you in the end.
[20:36] Doubashi
    No, you didn't. That was me.
[20:39] Kaburagi
    It was me.
[20:40] Doubashi
    It wasn't you.
[20:42] Kaburagi
    I'd never lose to a sub like you.
[20:45] Doubashi
    I'm a regular, you idiot.
[20:46] Fan 1
    They're arguing. Who won just now?
[20:50] Fan 2
    Wasn't it Hakone Academy High School?
[20:51] Fan 3
    It looked like Sohoku High School to me.

    Hayato-kun said Doubashi-san could do it.
[04:13] Rider 1
    Things feel more stable with
    Hakone Academy High School in the front.
[04:15] Rider 2
    That position's a perfect fit for them.
[04:17] Rider 2
    Their aura is different.
[04:18] Rider 1
    Yeah. I feel calmer with
    Hakone Academy High School forming the pack.
[04:22] Rider 1
    Let's absorb our sprinters as we
    ride to the foot of the mountain.

[04:38] Rider 1
    Hey, there's space behind you.
[04:41] Teshima
    They're doing it on purpose.
[04:43] Rider 1
    What?
[04:44] Teshima
    They're planning to increase their speed
    and decrease the pack's numbers...
[04:49] Teshima
    At the start of the Inter-High's first day!
[04:53] Izumida
    Abs!
[04:54] Rider 1
    Seriously? But we're still
    so far from the mountains.
[04:56] Rider 3
    We underestimated them. They're fast.
[04:59] Rider 3
    Sohoku High School's jumping ahead, too!
[05:01] Teshima
    But I knew they'd do this.
[05:03] Teshima
    Let's go as hard as we can.
[05:04] Teshima
    Onoda, Naruko, Imaizumi!
[05:07] All
    Yes, sir!
[05:07] Izumida
    You came, Sohoku High School.
[05:10] ---
    Abs!
[05:11] Teshima
    Sorry, but you're not getting away,
    Hakone Academy High School.
[05:14] Teshima
    You seem pretty desperate, Izumida.
[05:17] Teshima
    You're already trying to reduce your
    competition at the start of the race.
[05:20] Izumida
    We're wearing double-digit tags when
    we should be wearing single digits.
[05:25] Izumida
    Do you know what that means, Teshima-kun?
[05:28] Teshima
    I do.
[05:30] Teshima
    After all, we were wearing
    triple digits last year.
[05:35] Izumida
    It means that by any means necessary,
    we must retake the title of champions.
[05:42] Izumida
    I didn't participate in the first result
    so I could create this situation.
[05:47] Izumida
    Abs!
[05:48] Sakamichi
    Hakone Academy High School
    is accelerating even more.
[05:50] Teshima
    After them!
[05:51] All
    Yes, sir!
[05:55] Izumida
    The way you ride is so ordinary, Teshima-kun.
[05:58] Izumida
    Are you struggling?
[06:00] Izumida
    Isn't it because you sent two
    riders to compete in the sprint?
[06:03] Teshima
    I'm weak.
[06:06] Teshima
    That's why I use my head.
[06:09] Teshima
    It's why I work hard.
[06:10] Teshima
    I have a plan.

    Go!

    "Good job."
[07:01] Aoyagi
    "You were amazing."

    All praise is meaningless

    We're going to the Inter-High, Danchiku.

    Don't waver!
[07:39] (Flashback) Danchiku
    I won't be in the race, but you go
    all-out at the Inter-High, Issa.
[07:45] (Flashback) Kaburagi
    I will.
[07:47] (Flashback) Kaburagi
    You just watch me, Danchiku.
[07:55] Kaburagi
    He's the last person
     I want to talk to right now.
[07:59] Kaburagi
    I lost to a pig.
[08:05] Danchiku
    I was watching!
[08:29] Kaburagi
    Danchiku, I lost.
[08:36] Kaburagi
    I rode as hard as I could and lost the race.
[08:41] Sugimoto
    Kaburagi!
[08:44] Sugimoto
    I was watching!

    Push Imaizumi's back.

    Yes, sir!

    Koga-san, guys...
[09:15] Koga
    We'll be waiting for you
    at the feed zone up ahead!
[09:23] Kaburagi
    Why? What was that, Aoyagi-san?
[09:28] Kaburagi
    I didn't win.
[09:32] Kaburagi
    They should be asking me,
    "What are you doing?"
[09:34] Kaburagi
    "How could you lose when you were so close?"
[09:37] Kaburagi
    They should be rebuking me and
     telling me I'm the worst, but instead...
[09:43] Kaburagi
    They just said they were
    watching and nothing else.
[09:46] Kaburagi
    Their hands were so warm.
[09:48] Kaburagi
    Why?
[09:50] Kaburagi
    Koga-san, Sugimoto-san, and Danchiku...
[09:55] Aoyagi
    Because they're your teammates.
[09:59] Aoyagi
    And because they all know the pain of losing.
[10:07] Koga
    I know a lot about injuries.
[10:12] Sugitomo
    I did everything I could!
[10:16] (Flashback) Danchiku
    Good, Issa.
[10:18] Kaburagi
    Damn!
[10:20] Kaburagi
    Damn, damn, damn!
[10:23] Kaburagi
    Aoyagi-san, I promise!
[10:25] Kaburagi
    If I end up racing against him
    again at this Inter-High...
[10:30] Kaburagi
    I promise I'll beat him!
[10:32] Aoyagi
    Good.
[10:33] Kaburagi
    I'm riding with the team's hopes on my back.
[10:37] Kaburagi
    Why didn't I realize that?
[10:40] Kaburagi
    I'm an idiot.
[10:42] Aoyagi
    "Grow. Over these three days."
[10:45] Aoyagi
    That's what Kinjou-san
    told Imaizumi last year.
[10:49] Aoyagi
    I'll pass on the exact same message to you.
[10:53] Aoyagi
    Experience pain, give everything you have...
[10:57] Aoyagi
    And grow straight, Kaburagi.
[11:05] Izumida
    Abs!
[11:08] Sakamichi
    Hakone Academy High School's
    accelerating even more.
[11:10] Teshima
    We're counting on you, Naruko!
[11:12] Naruko
    Got it!
[11:13] Izumida
    Abs, abs, abs, abs, abs, abs!
[11:16] Izumida
    Abs!
[11:20] Kuroda
    Touichirou, you're raising the pace again?
[11:24] Kuroda
    Don't you feel bad for them?
[11:25] Kuroda
    They disappeared behind the
    corner in the blink of—
[11:30] Kuroda
    They're keeping up.
[11:32] Izumida
    How persistent.
[11:34] Izumida
    Team Sohoku's persistent again this year.
[11:37] Izumida
    Naruko-kun's reactions are first-class, too.
[11:40] Izumida
    Yuki, remember this tenacity.
[11:44] Izumida
    They used it to steal the
    title from us last year.
[11:49] Izumida
    You have a good team, Teshima-kun.
[11:51] Izumida
    You're worthy of being
    crushed with all our might.
[11:54] Izumida
    Are you supporting each other?
[11:57] Izumida
    That's what Sohoku High School's
    captain Kinjou-san said last year.
[12:01] Izumida
    On your team, when one man falls,
    the others support him.
[12:05] Izumida
    A team that supports each other.
[12:07] Teshima
    That's right.
[12:08] Teshima
    I've added the sauce of faith to
    that and made it in my own style.
[12:13] Izumida
    Are you planning on cooking something?
[12:15] Teshima
    Yeah, something Mediterranean.
[12:17] Izumida
    That sounds good.
[12:19] Izumida
    I'll eat it for you.
[12:20] Teshima
    It's super spicy.
[12:22] Teshima
    You'll upset your stomach.
[12:27] Izumida
    I see. You sound confident.
[12:31] Izumida
    Then let me ask you this.
[12:33] Izumida
    Why did your spicy team send two sprinters
    against our Doubashi and lose?
[12:41] Izumida
    You wasted your time.
[12:44] Teshima
    Because one man isn't enough.
[12:47] Teshima
    I told you.
[12:48] Teshima
    We're a team that supports each other.
[12:50] Teshima
    We're not complete until
    there's more than one.
[12:53] Teshima
    That's why I sent two.
[12:56] Teshima
    I know Kaburagi and Aoyagi believed
    in each other as they fought.
[13:01] Teshima
    Wasted our time? Don't worry about us.
[13:05] Teshima
    Defeat is the first step towards victory.
[13:07] Teshima
    It gives rise to the next will and action.
[13:10] Teshima
    And we pass that will along.
[13:13] Teshima
    Carefully, between all of us.
[13:16] Sakamichi
    Teshima-san...
[13:18] Izumida
    That's your team, this year's Team Sohoku.
[13:22] Izumida
    I understand.
[13:24] Izumida
    Since we have the chance,
    let me introduce my team.
[13:28] Izumida
    This year I created
[13:30] Izumida
    the most passionate team
    Hakone Academy High School has ever seen.
[13:36] Izumida
    Powerfully, coolly, passionately,
    we'll aim for victory.
[13:41] Izumida
    We're the strongest team.
[13:44] Sakamichi
    The strongest...
[13:49] Sakamichi
    Passion...
[13:53] Sakamichi
    There's a wall in front of us.
[13:57] Sakamichi
    Hakone Academy High School is a wall.
[14:01] (Flashback) Makishima
    Onoda.
[14:04] (Flashback) Makishima
    If you have one thing you're good at,
[14:06] (Flashback) Makishima
    and you're prevented from
    doing it, what would you do?
[14:10] Sakamichi
    The wall in front of us...
[14:14] (Flashback) Makishima
    Wait? Run?
[14:16] (Flashback) Makishima
    Go around it?
[14:17] (Flashback) Makishima
    Would you become depressed?
[14:25] (Flashback) Makishima
    You've gotta break through, yeah?
[14:28] Sakamichi
    Yes, sir.
[14:29] Sakamichi
    We have to break through, yeah.
[14:32] Sakamichi
    Through the giant wall of
    Hakone Academy High School.
[14:36] Imaizumi
    You're right. We have to break through, yeah.
[14:40] Teshima
    Yeah.
[14:42] Naruko
    You're right, Onoda-kun.
[14:43] Naruko
    Yeah.
[14:45] Sakamichi
    Yeah.
[14:47] Sakamichi
    Wait, what?
[14:49] Sakamichi
    Um, did I say that out loud?
[14:54] Sakamichi
    Did I?
[14:55] Imaizumi
    Yeah.
[14:56] Teshima
    You did.
[14:57] Sakamichi
    I-I meant to think
    "break through" inside my head...
[15:01] Teshima
    Are you serious?
[15:03] Naruko
    You said it really loud.
[15:07] Imaizumi
    Sometimes you say "yeah"
    when we're in class, too.
[15:10] Sakamichi
    What?
[15:13] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    D-Don't fall asleep, yeah.
[15:18] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    I have to do my best, yeah.
[15:27] Kuroda
    Touichirou...
[15:29] Kuroda
    What are they?
[15:31] Kuroda
    They're at a disadvantage.
[15:33] Kuroda
    They lost the first result, too.
[15:36] Kuroda
    But they're overflowing with pressure.
[15:39] Izumida
    I thought so.
[15:41] Izumida
    It's the one with the glasses.
[15:43] Izumida
    Second-year Onoda.
[15:45] Izumida
    He's creating that atmosphere.
[15:49] Kuroda
    It doesn't look that way to me.
[15:52] Kuroda
    You told me to be careful,
    but he doesn't feel strong.
[15:56] Kuroda
    Doubashi said it was just a fluke, too.
[16:00] (Flashback) Doubashi
    It must've been a fluke.
[16:02] (Flashback) Doubashi
    Otherwise, there's no way
    those guys would've lost.
[16:05] (Flashback) Doubashi
    Right, Kuroda-san?
[16:07] (Flashback) Kuroda
    I get it.
[16:08] (Flashback) Kuroda
    You already told me that.
[16:10] (Flashback) Doubashi
    No, I'm not finished.
[16:12] (Flashback) Doubashi
    It must've been a fluke that Onoda
    won the general classification.
[16:18] Kuroda
    That skinny kid...
[16:21] Izumida
    He brings out the unlikely in road races.
[16:23] Izumida
    The unexpected, Yuki.
[16:26] Izumida
    Sohoku High School's key man,
    Onoda Sakamichi...
[16:30] Izumida
    We need to eliminate him from the
    race sooner rather than later.
[16:38] Sakamichi
    We've caught up to the lead sprinters.
[16:40] Imaizumi
    Aoyagi-san!
[16:41] Naruko
    Kabu!
[16:42] Kuroda
    Doubashi!
[16:45] Izumida
    Good job, Doubashi.
[16:47] Doubashi
    Izumida-san!
[16:48] Ashikiba
    Basshi...
[16:50] Doubashi
    I beat Sohoku High School
    to win the first result.
[16:54] Izumida
    Well done.
[16:59] Naruko
    Why'd you lose, Kabu?
[17:02] Imaizumi
    How could you lose after running
    off like that, showoff?
[17:04] Kaburagi
    Why?
[17:06] Kaburagi
    Everyone else was so nice.
[17:08] Naruko
    Because we don't like you.
[17:11] Imaizumi
    You're a disappointment.
[17:13] Kaburagi
    Seriously?
[17:15] Kaburagi
    Really? Really? Really?
[17:19] Aoyagi
    Sorry, Junta.
[17:22] Teshima
    It's fine.
[17:23] Teshima
    The race is long.
[17:24] Teshima
    We can still make up for it.
[17:28] Teshima
    Onoda...
[17:30] Sakamichi
    Yes, sir?
[17:31] Teshima
    I have orders for you.
[17:33] Sakamichi
    Orders? Yes, sir.
[17:36] Aoyagi
    Junta?
[17:38] Teshima
    Stay close to us.
[17:40] Sakamichi
    What?
[17:41] Teshima
    Stay toward the front.
[17:43] Sakamichi
    Teshima-san?
[17:46] Sakamichi
    Is it because the mountains are close?
[17:50] Sakamichi
    Because Hakone Academy High School
     will make a move?
[17:52] Sakamichi
    But we still have a little ways
    to go before the mountains.
[17:55] Teshima
    They're making their move!
[18:02] Kaburagi
    B-But their pace isn't that fast.
[18:06] Teshima
    Not fast? It's the opposite, Kaburagi.
[18:10] Kaburagi
    The opposite?
[18:11] Teshima
    You haven't noticed because
    we've been matching their pace.
[18:16] Teshima
    Hakone Academy High School has been
    gradually and deliberately slowing their pace,
[18:21] Teshima
    so we wouldn't notice as they drew them in...
[18:31] Teshima
    The pack behind us!
[18:33] Rider 1
    There's Sohoku High School!
[18:35] Rider 3
    And Hakone Academy High School!
[18:36] Rider 4
    All right! We caught them!
[18:38] Rider 1
    You're not getting away!
[18:39] Naruko
    No way. Seriously?
[18:41] Naruko
    I didn't notice them come up behind us.
[18:42] Imaizumi
    The pack...
[18:44] Imaizumi
    This isn't good.
[18:45] Imaizumi
    They're out for blood since we passed them.
[18:51] Imaizumi
    Such a large gathering of
    wills can breed insanity.
[18:59] Teshima
    We'll join the pack temporarily.
[19:01] Teshima
    There are advantages.
[19:02] Teshima
    We'll be able to rest.
[19:04] Teshima
    In any case, stay with the team.
[19:06] Rider
    Sohoku High School!
[19:07] Rider
    Chiba!
[19:09] Teshima
    But...
[19:11] Teshima
    Damn it.
[19:12] Teshima
    It's not just advantages.
[19:14] Teshima
    Onoda!
[19:16] Sakamichi
    Yes, sir!
[19:17] Onoda
    To the front.
[19:21] Rider 1
    We absorbed Sohoku High School
    and Hakone Academy High School!
[19:23] Rider 2
    All right!
[19:24] Rider 3
    You can't just do as you please!
[19:25] Rider 4
    See how strong we are?
[19:30] Rider 1
    We're passing through old Imaichi City
    and heading towards Nikkou City.
[19:33] Rider 1
    We're almost at the mountains.
[19:35] Rider 1
    Keep it up.
[19:38] Teshima
    Onoda? Where's Onoda?
[19:44] Sakamichi
    Teshima-san...
[19:45] (Flashback) Teshima
    Stay close to us.
[19:47] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    What?
[19:49] (Flashback) Teshima
    Stay toward the front.
[19:51] Sakamichi
    What am I doing?
[19:53] Sakamichi
    I'm so far behind.
[19:59] Sakamichi
    Um, it's dangerous to stick too close.
[20:03] Sakamichi
    Could you—
[20:07] Sakamichi
    Y-You're too close, guys.
[20:09] Sakamichi
    It's dangerous while we're riding.
[20:11] Sakamichi
    I can't move ahead when you're so—
[20:13] Ineyo
    Sorry, but we're doing it deliberately.
[20:17] Ineyo
    We're not letting you get to the front.
[20:20] Sakamichi
    What?
[20:25] Kaburagi
    Onoda-san's been separated.
[20:29] Kaburagi
    He's too small. I can't see him.
[20:33] Kaburagi
    Do you think he's all right?
[20:34] Kaburagi
    Will he come up to us?
[20:36] Teshima
    No, that may be difficult.
[20:39] Kaburagi
    What?
[20:42] Teshima
    We're almost at the mountains.
[20:45] Teshima
    And he's wearing tag #1.
[20:51] Kaburagi
    Tag #1?
[20:53] Teshima
    He's last year's champion and a climber.
[20:57] Teshima
    The other teams will be looking out
    for a #1 who won a climb.
[21:02] Teshima
    They'll be keeping him in check.
[21:04] Teshima
    Onoda will experience for the first time
[21:09] Teshima
    the real pressure that comes with tag #1.
[21:12] Teshima
    Hakone Academy High School...
[21:17] Izumida
    Looks like we won't have to use Yuto.
[21:22] Sakamichi
    Teshima-san...
[21:24] Sakamichi
    I can't get to the front.
[23:11] Kuroda
    Are you hungry?
[23:14] Kuroda
    Are you sure you should be
    acting that way toward me?
[23:24] Kuroda
    Hey, what's with the change in attitude?
[23:26] Kuroda
    Are you an idol who's only
    nice at handshake events?
[23:28] Kuroda
    Were you faking it?

[02:18] Fan
    I see them!
[02:19] Fan
    They're here.
[02:21] Fan
    There are so many of them.
[02:22] Fan
    Go!
[02:23] Fan
    You can do it!
[02:27] Fan
    Everyone's riding together.
[02:29] Fan
    Are they friends?
[02:30] Fan
    Well, actually...
[02:32] Fan
    When the road's gently sloping,
    it's easier for everyone to ride together.
[02:35] Fan
    The wind resistance is—
[02:37] Fan
    Let's just say they're working together.
[02:40] Fan
    But there's a hill ahead, right?
[02:43] Fan
    Yeah.
[02:44] Fan
    Then they won't be able
    to ride together anymore.
[02:46] Fan
    What?
[02:47] Fan
    The line they're riding in now
    will get longer and longer.
[02:50] Fan
    By the end, they'll be separated.
[02:51] Both
    What?
[02:53] Fan
    Separated?
[02:53] Fan
    Differences in strength
    become apparent on climbs.
[02:57] Fan
    Won't they be lonely?
[02:58] Fan
    Each team establishes its own
    strategy so that doesn't happen.
[03:03] Fan
    Strategy? Then they'll be fine.
[03:06] Fan
    But what if they mess up?
[03:08] Fan
    If that happens,
    then they'll have to ride alone.
[03:14] Sakamichi
    What am I doing?
[03:16] Sakamichi
    The six of us just met up.
[03:19] Sakamichi
    But I got swallowed by the pack
    and separated from the others.
[03:21] Sakamichi
    I need to get back to the front.
[03:23] Sakamichi
    Teshima-san and the others are at the front...
[03:25] Sakamichi
    Far ahead, where I can't see them.
[03:28] Sakamichi
    I'll go back. I'll go back. I'll go back!
[03:31] Sakamichi
    I'll get back to the others
    before we enter the mountains.
[03:36] Rider
    I told you, we're not letting
    you go to the front.
[03:39] Rider
    After all, you're a climber wearing tag #1.
[03:44] Sakamichi
    I just want to get back
     to Teshima-san—to my team.
[03:48] Sakamichi
    Can't you—
[03:48] Rider
    What will you do then?
[03:50] Rider
    Receive orders from your team and
    ride to win the mountain stage, right?
[03:55] Sakamichi
    What?
[03:56] Rider
    That's what we fear most.
[04:00] Rider
    We have climbers on our teams, too.
[04:02] Rider
    The first day's mountain stage
    is the Inter-High's medal.
[04:06] Rider
    Everyone respects the first day because
    we can fight without restraint.
[04:12] Rider
    The red number tag is a badge of pride.
[04:14] Rider
    Everyone wants it.
    Every team is riding for it.
[04:17] Rider
    Sorry, but we need you to stay out of it.
[04:19] Sakamichi
    I just... I just...
[04:22] Sakamichi
    I just want to do my job.

    the bearer of tag #1.
[04:28] Rider
    That's my job.

[04:38] Rider
    This is Onoda? He's the

[04:55] Sakamichi
    Show them with my riding.
[04:57] Sakamichi
    That's right. I have to get to the front.
[05:01] Sakamichi
    The front...
[05:03] Sakamichi
    He asked me to take care of
    Sohoku High School for him.
[05:08] Sakamichi
    Move, please!
[05:10] Sakamichi
    Please!

[06:12] Imaizumi
    Come up to us, Onoda.
[06:14] Imaizumi
    Quickly. Otherwise...
[06:16] Rider
    I'm Nagano Chuou High School's climber.
[06:18] Rider
    They call me the Guardian of the Alps.
[06:21] Rider
    I am Awagashira Yumichika.
[06:24] Rider
    Though he temporarily lead the race,
[06:26] Rider
    he sadly ended up third at
    the end of the mountain stage.
[06:28] Rider
    I will vindicate the honor
    of Tatebayashi-senpai.
[06:31] Rider
    I'm Shizuoka Fujigawa High School's
    climber Daikanji Haruichi.
[06:35] Rider
    Mt. Fuji is my home turf.
[06:37] Rider
    There's no mountain taller than Mt. Fuji.
[06:39] Rider
    Look! It's Yamagata Mogami High School
    third-year Kawahara Gunpei!
[06:42] Rider
    Rumor has it he's the strongest
    climber at this tournament!
[06:45] Rider
    Bunya, I'm counting on your assistance.
[06:48] Rider
    I'll claim the mountain number tag.
[06:51] Rider
    They're so fast!
[06:52] Rider
    They're making their move already?
[06:54] Imaizumi
    The climbers are taking
    off one after another.
[06:58] Imaizumi
    Hakone hasn't made their move yet,
[07:00] Imaizumi
    but it's only a matter of time.
[07:02] (Flashback) Teshima
    We'll slow down as much as
    we can and wait for Onoda.
[07:06] (Flashback) Teshima
    Whatever you do, don't let
    Hakone get farther ahead.
[07:09] (Flashback) Both
    Yes, sir.
[07:10] Imaizumi
    We can't wait any longer.
[07:13] Teshima
    The pack has stretched out
    since we entered the climb.
[07:15] Teshima
    I don't see him.
[07:17] Teshima
    They're scattered.
[07:19] Naruko
    Okay, then.
[07:21] Naruko
    Kabu and I will go rescue
    Onoda-kun real quick.
[07:32] Sakamichi
    At some point, I ended up in last place.
SIGN    Sohoku
[07:36] Sakamichi
    I'm at the end of the stretched-out pack.
SIGN    Onoda
[07:40] Sakamichi
    I need to get back to the
    group quickly. Quickly.
[07:43] Sakamichi
    I have to do something.
[07:45] Sakamichi
    It's probably not that bad yet.
[07:48] Sakamichi
    If the way in front of me is blocked, then...
[07:54] Sakamichi
    I'll go back.
[07:55] Rider
    He stopped!
[07:56] Rider
    He braked hard! Is he having
    trouble with his bike?
[07:59] Rider
    No!
[08:04] Rider
    Crap!
[08:05] Rider
    I wasn't expecting him to
    use being in last place!
[08:07] Rider
    Catch him!
[08:08] Rider
    We've already started to enter the climb!
[08:10] Rider
    He's unbelievably fast going uphill!
[08:15] Sakamichi
    I'll catch up like this.
[08:17] Rider
    He's fast!
[08:18] Rider
    You can't be serious!
    How can he accelerate like that?
[08:21] Rider
    Ride as hard as you can!
[08:23] Rider
    Damn it!
[08:25] Rider
    Mogami High School's Inashiro jumped ahead!
[08:26] Rider
    If we don't, he'll get away!
[08:29] Rider
    Don't underestimate me, tag #1.
[08:31] Rider
    I'm Kawahara-san's mountain stage assistant.
[08:33] Rider
    An assistant...
[08:36] Rider
    ...has an assistant's pride!
[08:39] Rider
    Stop, Sohoku High School's Onoda!
[08:41] Rider
    Yamagata Mogami High School's
    Inashiro cut in front of him!
[08:47] Rider
    Sorry.
[08:48] Rider
    That was a little rough, but I
    can't let you get to the front.
[08:52] Rider
    Yamagata Mogami High School will
    take the mountain number tag.
[08:55] Rider
    You're not getting away, Sohoku High School.
[08:58] Rider
    Sohoku High School's #1
    was last year's champion.
[09:02] Rider
    He's stronger than I expected.
    He pedals hard.
[09:05] Rider
    I can't believe he rode so awkwardly
    in the middle of the pack.
[09:09] Rider
    In a few hundred meters, the seven-man
    blockade we had dropped to three.
[09:17] Sakamichi
    They're blocking me from behind.
[09:19] Sakamichi
    I won't be able to use that again.
[09:22] Sakamichi
    Teshima-san...
[09:23] Rider
    I'll stop him. That's my job.
[09:26] Rider
    I'll do it for Kawahara-san.
[09:29] Fan
    The leaders are here!
[09:31] Fan
    It's Nagano Chuou and Shizuoka Fujigawa!
[09:32] Fan
    There's one more behind them!
[09:34] Fan
    He's so fast!
[09:35] Fan
    It's Yamagata Mogami High School
    third-year Kawahara Gunpei!
[09:38] Fan
    Wow, look at him climb!
[09:40] Fan
    He's not even breaking a sweat!
[09:43] Fan
    He's in first!
[09:44] Rider
    Bunya, are you working hard?
[09:47] Rider
    I promise I'll take it this year.
[09:49] Rider
    I'll claim the mountain number tag.
[09:55] Naruko
    What do you mean we can't go
    back for him, Teshima-san?
[09:58] Teshima
    I meant exactly what I said.
[10:00] Teshima
    I won't allow it.
[10:02] Naruko
    Why not?
[10:03] Naruko
    Is it because we're in the mountains?
[10:04] Naruko
    Because he'll make it
    back at the last minute?
[10:06] Naruko
    I'm saying we should rescue him
    because he hasn't come back.
[10:10] Naruko
    The other teams are getting in his way.
[10:12] Naruko
    Anyone would keep last
    year's champion in check.
[10:15] Naruko
    He can't ride at his own pace.
[10:17] Naruko
    Kabu and I will go back and get him.
[10:20] Naruko
    Onoda-kun's never experienced
    something like this.
[10:22] Teshima
    Shouting at the night's
    darkness won't create light.
[10:25] Teshima
    All you can do is wait for dawn.
[10:27] Naruko
    What is that, some kind of riddle?
[10:29] Kaburagi
    What? A riddle?
[10:31] Naruko
    We're in the mountains,
    and Onoda-kun's not here.
[10:34] Naruko
    There's no telling when
    Hakone will make their move.
[10:36] Naruko
    And you want us to wait in silence?
[10:38] Teshima
    I'm telling you not to act recklessly!
[10:41] Naruko
    What?
[10:42] Teshima
    If we changed our formation,
    we'd be playing into their hands.
[10:46] Teshima
    It may look like they're not paying attention,
     but they're keeping a close eye on us.
[10:50] Teshima
    If our numbers decrease, they'll attack.
[10:53] Teshima
    We'll fall behind.
[10:55] Teshima
    If you and Kaburagi go back, leaving three
    of us, it'll be three against six.
[11:00] Teshima
    They're waiting for
    just that kind of situation.
[11:04] Teshima
    Their goal is to force our
    entire team out of the race.
[11:07] Naruko
    What?
[11:09] Kaburagi
    Then we can't rescue him.
[11:12] Teshima
    We're at an overwhelming disadvantage.
[11:15] Teshima
    We have to climb this mountain without our
    ace climber and two exhausted sprinters.
[11:21] Teshima
    We're about to start up
    the hellish Irohazaka.
[11:24] Teshima
    And this year's Hakone Academy High School
    has Kuroda, Ashikiba, Manami, and Shinkai.
[11:31] Teshima
    They have four climbers.
[11:34] Naruko
    Four.
[11:36] Naruko
    I noticed Shinkai's little brother
    didn't race in the sprint.
[11:39] Naruko
    So he's a climber, huh?
[11:41] Kaburagi
    Then will we give up on
    winning the mountain stage?
[11:44] Kaburagi
    Onoda-san's not back yet.
[11:46] Teshima
    We can't.
[11:47] Teshima
    If they make their move, we'll have to, as well.
[11:50] Kaburagi
    Why? We can just let them
    do whatever they want.
[11:53] Teshima
    If we do that, they'll head
    straight for the finish line.
[11:58] Kaburagi
    What? The finish line?
[12:00] Aoyagi
    The results of the mountain stage
    affect the finish line after that.
[12:04] Aoyagi
    We can't let them take
    the mountains so easily.
[12:07] Naruko
    Aoyagi-san...
[12:09] Imaizumi
    Aoyagi-san said two whole sentences.
[12:12] Kaburagi
    What are we going to do, then?
[12:13] Teshima
    I have orders for you.
[12:16] Both
    Yes, sir.
[12:17] Teshima
    Imaizumi...
[12:18] Imaizumi
    Yes, sir.
[12:19] Naruko
    Looks like is a job for hotshot.
[12:20] Teshima
    You and Naruko take turns pulling the
    team and prepare for the finish line.
[12:26] Teshima
    You're our ace.
[12:27] Teshima
    Without you at the finish line,
    we'll lose what should be ours.
[12:30] Teshima
    Sorry for making you spend your energy,
[12:33] Teshima
    but take our exhausted sprinters
    to the top of the mountain.
[12:36] Kaburagi
    Exhausted sprinter?
[12:38] Kaburagi
    He must be talking about you.
[12:41] Naruko
    Then who's—
[12:43] Rider
    Hakone's making their move!
[12:45] Imaizumi
    They're moving!
[12:45] Naruko
    Hakone Academy High School!
[12:46] Teshima
    Who will they send?
[12:47] Izumida
    It's nearly time.
[12:49] Izumida
    Go win the mountain stage.
[12:51] Izumida
    Go, Manami.
[12:53] Manami
    Yes, sir.
[12:56] Manami
    The weather's great today.
[12:59] Manami
    These kinds of days are the
    most fun for climbing hills.
[13:03] Kuroda
    Hey, Manami. Don't be so relaxed.
[13:06] Kuroda
    The other climbers are already climbing.
[13:08] Manami
    Don't worry, Kuroda-san.
[13:10] Manami
    I'll go enjoy the hill.
[13:14] Kuroda
    Strangely enough,
    he's managed to hone his skills.
[13:17] Izumida
    Go, Manami.
[13:19] Izumida
    Pass the climbers in front of you.
[13:21] Izumida
    If things go well,
    take the first day's finish line.
[13:25] Naruko
    Are you for real?
[13:26] Teshima
    Yes, for real.
[13:28] Teshima
    Without Onoda, we don't have a choice.
[13:30] Izumida
    Who will Sohoku High School send?
[13:33] Izumida
    You can't be serious.
[13:34] Izumida
    You're challenging the mountains?
[13:36] Izumida
    Sorry to be rude, but I don't think
     you have a climber's ability or instinct.
[13:39] Teshima
    Yeah, that's why I'll climb with hard work!
[13:48] Fan
    Hakone's making its move!
[13:49] Fan
    The first day's mountain race has begun!
[13:52] Fan
    It's last year's second place finisher,
    second-year Manami Sangaku!
[13:57] Fan
    Sohoku High School's coming, too!
[13:59] Fan
    Is it Onoda?
[14:03] Fan
    What? It's not Onoda.
[14:05] Fan
    I'm kind of disappointed.
[14:07] Fan
    I came to see last year's champion race.
[14:09] Fan
    Is he holding back?
[14:10] Fan
    No, look at that.
[14:11] Fan
    Onoda's not with Sohoku High School?
[14:13] Fan
    Is he having problems?
[14:15] Fan
    Number 5, Teshima Junta.
[14:17] Fan
    He seemed pretty ordinary.
[14:19] Izumida
    Abs!
[14:23] Izumida
    Excuse me.
[14:25] Izumida
    I mustn't laugh.
[14:28] Izumida
    I feel sorry for you.
[14:29] Izumida
    Your captain, Teshima-kun, became emotional.
[14:32] Izumida
    He lost Onoda Sakamichi, the man he meant
    to send, when he was swallowed by the pack.
[14:36] Izumida
    He felt responsible.
[14:38] Izumida
    He lost his #1 due to his own mistake.
[14:41] Izumida
    Isn't that right?
[14:44] Izumida
    But I can't believe he sent himself.
[14:49] Izumida
    Imaizumi-kun, shouldn't you have gone?
[14:53] Izumida
    I can tell from watching him so far.
[14:55] Izumida
    He's smart, but he's an unexceptional rider.
[14:58] Izumida
    Climb with hard work?
[15:00] Izumida
    No, let me be blunt.
[15:02] Izumida
    He doesn't stand a chance...
[15:05] Izumida
    ...against our Manami.
[15:11] Imaizumi
    Let me say my piece, too.
[15:14] Imaizumi
    For the past year, he's been
    working hard every time I saw him.
[15:23] Teshima
    You think I'm reckless, Izumida?
[15:25] Teshima
    Would you stop me, Imaizumi?
[15:28] Teshima
    Would you say I don't stand a chance, Naruko?
[15:32] Teshima
    I don't blame them. I'm not special.
[15:35] Teshima
    On top of that, we're at the Inter-High.
[15:37] Teshima
    It's the glorious mountain stage.
[15:39] Teshima
    I know this isn't my job.
[15:42] Teshima
    But I...
[15:45] (Flashback) Makishima
    Teshima, you're a climber.
[15:48] Teshima
    I was told to climb.
[15:50] Teshima
    I was told to put one foot
    in front of the other.
[15:54] Teshima
    I don't have any special abilities.
    I can't leap ahead.
[15:58] Teshima
    Honestly, once upon a time,
    I wanted to be like that.
[16:02] Teshima
    But I'll show you, one step at a time...
[16:04] Teshima
    the ordinary way I ride along the ground.
[16:09] Fan
    Sohoku High School caught up to
    Hakone Academy High School's Manami!
[16:12] Fan
    It's #5!
[16:13] Fan
    Who's #5?
[16:15] Manami
    You're Sakamichi-kun's senpai.
[16:17] Teshima
    Hey. I saw your amazing race to the
    finish last year, Manami Sangaku.
[16:23] Teshima
    Let's ride to the peak together,
    since we have the chance.
[16:28] Manami
    I hate to waste an opportunity...
[16:31] Manami
    But I'm in a bit of a hurry.
[16:33] Manami
    I was told to win the mountain stage.
[16:37] Teshima
    His acceleration is amazing.
[16:39] Teshima
    It's totally different seeing it up close.
[16:41] Teshima
    He's fast, but...
[16:45] Teshima
    I'll catch him!
[16:51] Teshima
    Let's ride together.
[16:53] Manami
    Wow, you caught up.
[16:55] Manami
    You're better than I thought.
[16:57] Teshima
    I'm still your elder.
[16:59] Teshima
    Show some respect and ride slower.
[17:02] Teshima
    He's not using the wings I've heard about.
[17:06] Teshima
    Does that mean he can go even faster?
[17:09] Manami
    I still don't see the
    climbers in front of us.
[17:12] Teshima
    We haven't even entered Irohazaka yet.
[17:15] Teshima
    Climbing is hard, Makishima-san.
[17:19] Manami
    Ah, found one.
SIGN    Inter-High Road Race
[17:30] Fan
    It's Hakone Academy High School
    and Sohoku High School!
SIGN    Manami-sama
[17:37] Fan
    He's so cool!
[17:40] Manami
    Hello.
[17:46] Teshima
    This is Manami Sangaku.
[17:48] Teshima
    He climbs as though inclines
    are nothing to him.
[17:51] Teshima
    We've already passed five of the
    climbers who were riding ahead of us.
[17:54] (Flashback) Rider
    Whoa, it's Manami!
[17:55] (Flashback) Rider
    Sohoku High School!
[17:57] Teshima
    He's fast. He's horrifyingly fast.
[18:00] Teshima
    And he's smiling.
[18:02] Teshima
    I can barely keep up.
[18:06] Fan
    Sohoku High School's #5...
[18:08] Fan
    He really seemed to be struggling.
SIGN    Irohazaka Map
[18:12] Teshima
    Please, Manami Sangaku.
[18:15] Teshima
    Don't ride as hard as you can yet.
[18:17] Fan
    They're entering Irohazaka!
[18:18] Teshima
    We just made it to the entrance of Irohazaka.
[18:18] Fan
    It's Hakone Academy High School's Manami!
[18:20] Fan
    There's one Sohoku High School
     rider following him!
[18:22] Manami
    Huh? You're amazing.
[18:25] Manami
    You're keeping up with me,
    Sakamichi-kun's senpai.
[18:28] Manami
    Was your name Kojima-san?
[18:29] Teshima
    It's Teshima.
[18:31] Teshima
    I'm wearing a Sohoku High School jersey, too.
[18:34] Teshima
    It won't be that easy to—
[18:36] Manami
    Do you like slopes?
[18:39] Teshima
    Not particularly.
[18:40] Manami
    Really?
[18:41] Manami
    Then you don't need to keep up.
[18:44] Manami
    You won't make any progress
    doing something you don't like.
[18:47] Teshima
    Don't say that so casually.
[18:49] Teshima
    My situation doesn't allow for that.
[18:53] Manami
    At school, there's a class rep
    who's always getting mad at me.
[18:57] Manami
    She wears half-moon glasses.
[18:59] Manami
    She told me to stop coming late and do
    my homework since I'm a second-year now.
[19:04] Manami
    She hates bugs,
[19:05] Manami
    but she comes to cheer the team on at
    these courses in the middle of nature.
[19:10] Manami
    When I asked if she likes
    road races, she said...
[19:12] (Flashback) Girl
    Not really.
[19:13] (Flashback) Girl
    I don't particularly like bicycles.
[19:18] Manami
    Can you believe it?
[19:19] Manami
    But she's coming again this year.
[19:22] (Flashback) Girl
    Well, it's close enough
    that I can take the train.
[19:25] Manami
    People are so strange, aren't they?
[19:28] Teshima
    Maybe.
[19:30] Teshima
    I'm wondering why I'm chasing after first-rate
     Hakone Academy High School climber
[19:37] Teshima
    Manami Sangaku with such
    an elevated heart rate.
[19:39] Teshima
    But I always arrive at the same answer.
[19:43] Manami
    Ah, found another one.
[19:47] Teshima
    You idiot!
[19:48] Teshima
    I wasn't finished talking!
[19:51] Teshima
    Is this Manami's full acceleration?
[19:53] Teshima
    He's fast. The timing's totally different.
[19:56] Teshima
    I can feel how much stronger he is,
    but don't give up now, Teshima Junta!
[20:03] Rider
    Manami!
[20:04] Rider
    The man who inherited tag #3 from
    Hakone Academy High School's Mountain God.
[20:09] Rider
    You won't pass me.
[20:10] Rider
    I'm Shizuoka Fujigawa High School's Daikanji.
[20:12] Rider
    My home turf is Mt. Fuji.
[20:15] Rider
    He's unbelievable. He passed me so easily.
[20:18] Rider
    Sohoku High School, too?
[20:19] Rider
    What? Number 5?
[20:21] Rider
    That's their captain, Teshima.
[20:22] Rider
    I thought he was their leader.
[20:25] Rider
    Why's he chasing after Hakone by himself?
[20:28] Rider
    Huh? Teshima wasn't in the race last year.
[20:31] Rider
    He's making his first
    appearance as a third-year?
[20:33] Rider
    And he's chasing after him?
[20:37] Rider
    Hakone Academy High School's Manami?
[20:39] Rider
    That's impossible. There's no way.
[20:42] Rider
    It's reckless, no matter how you look at it.
[20:49] Manami
    Wow. You're amazing, Teshima-san.
[20:52] Manami
    You kept up with that.
[20:54] Manami
    But are you sure you
    should be riding so fast?
[20:58] Manami
    Irohazaka has a long ways to go.

    And there are still riders in front of us.
[21:13] Manami
    What? In front of me?
[21:15] Teshima
    Don't worry... about me.
[21:18] Teshima
    I'm Sohoku High School's captain,
    third-year Teshima Junta.
[21:22] Teshima
    People laugh at me all the
    time for being ordinary.
[21:26] Teshima
    Racing and exhausting you,
    Hakone Academy High School's ace climber,
[21:30] Teshima
    and winning the Inter-High's
    mountain stage is my job!
[21:38] Manami
    I'm starting to get interested.
[21:48] Sakamichi
    Teshima-san is on the board!
[23:24] Kuroda
    He's so cold when I don't have food.
[23:26] Manami
    Kuroda-san!
[23:28] Kuroda
    Oh, Manami.
[23:29] Manami
    Hey, it's a cat.
[23:33] Manami
    Wow.
[23:34] Kuroda
    Why?
[23:35] Manami
    You're so cute.

[00:01] Sakamichi
    I'm in great shape today.
[00:03] Sakamichi
    I beat my time up the rear
    gate slope by ten seconds.
[00:06] Sakamichi
    I won the Minegayama race the
    other day, Makishima-san.
[00:19] (Flashback) Naruko
    What's up, Onoda-kun? You writing a letter?
[00:21] (Flashback) Naruko
    To a girl?
[00:23] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    N-No, it's a report.
[00:25] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    It's for my math homework.
[00:26] (Flashback) Naruko
    Sucks for you. That's a lot of pages.
[00:29] (Flashback) Imaizumi
    Will you even be able to pass this year?

    What?!
SIGN    Sohoku High School Bicycle Racing Club
[00:37] Sakamichi
    I don't know his address, though.
[00:41] (Flashback) Teshima
    Finished your homework?
[00:45] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    Teshima-san...
[00:47] (Flashback) Teshima
    Don't get your hopes up.
[00:50] (Flashback) Teshima
    He hardly ever writes back.
[00:53] (Flashback) Teshima
    Even if you pour your concerns
    out to him, he just says, "Yeah."
[00:58] (Flashback) Teshima
    It's Makishima-san's address.
[01:02] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    What?
[01:03] (Flashback) Teshima
    I got it from Pierre-sensei.
[01:06] (Flashback) Teshima
    Now you'll be able to solve
    lots of math problems.
[01:10] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    Yes, sir.
[01:14] (Flashback) Teshima
    Things change over time.
[01:16] (Flashback) Teshima
    Until now, you've only needed
    to listen to your seniors.
[01:20] (Flashback) Teshima
    But going forward, you'll have
    to use your own judgment.
[01:24] (Flashback) Teshima
    The first-years will be joining soon.
[01:26] (Flashback) Teshima
    We'll race in the Inter-High again.
[01:30] (Flashback) Teshima
    As you lead those first-years, you'll have
    to decide your own path for yourself.
[01:36] (Flashback) Teshima
    If you're ever unsure, do this.
[01:40] (Flashback) Teshima
    Consider all your options, and pick
    the first one that comes to mind.

    Irohazaka will be difficult.
[03:31] (Flashback) Teshima
    It'll be the turning point.
[03:33] (Flashback) Teshima
    Each team will be sending their ace climber.
[03:36] Sakamichi
    His only orders were to keep toward
    the front and stay with the team.
[03:41] Sakamichi
    But that can't be right.
[03:43] Sakamichi
    His message probably the same
    as during the Minegayama race.
[03:49] Sakamichi
    "I'll be waiting for you in
    the mountains. Follow me."
[03:55] Inashiro
    Number 1's pressure changed
    the moment he saw the sign.
[04:00] Inashiro
    Watch out.
[04:01] Inashiro
    He's going to make his move.
[04:02] Nagano
    We know.
[04:03] Shizuoka
    He's not getting anywhere.
[04:05] Inashiro
    He'll definitely try to surprise us.
[04:08] Sakamichi
    Excuse me. I'm going to pass you now!
[04:10] Inashiro
    A direct...
[04:12] Both
    ...declaration of war?
[04:14] Sakamichi
    Princess!
[04:15] Inashiro
    "Princess"? What's that?
[04:17] Shizuoka
    I've heard of this!
[04:19] Shizuoka
    When Sohoku High School's
    Onoda starts singing to himself...
[04:21] Nagano
    He gets faster!
[04:23] Sakamichi
    I've always kept these feelings secret!
[04:28] Sakamichi
    Be my princess forever, ta-tum-tum-tum!
[04:31] Inashiro
    Just block him!
[04:34] Sakamichi
    The anime I most highly
    recommend, Love Hime,
[04:36] Sakamichi
    ended its first season
    amidst great popularity.
[04:38] Sakamichi
    After taking a break in September,
[04:40] Sakamichi
    the long-awaited second season
    started the other day.
[04:43] Shizuoka
    First? First what?
[04:44] Nagano
    Does he think he can place first?
[04:46] Nagano
    You won't pass us.
[04:46] Sakamichi
    "The Princess's Spinning One-Sided Love"
    is the powered-up
[04:49] Sakamichi
    second season opening theme of
    Love Hime Pettanko, which is back on the air!
[04:56] Nagano
    Opening? What's back?
[04:59] Inashiro
    I have no idea what he's talking about!
[05:01] Sakamichi
    Princess!
[05:03] Sakamichi
    I've always kept these feelings secret!
[05:05] Shizuoka
    What on earth is he?
[05:07] Inashiro
    Don't shrink from him! There's three of us!
[05:08] Sakamichi
    Be my princess forever!
[05:11] Sakamichi
    I've always kept these feelings secret!
[05:14] Inashiro
    He's smiling! Can he go even faster?
[05:16] Sakamichi
    Be my princess forever!
[05:19] Sakamichi
    Princess! Spin, spin, spin!
[05:21] Shizuoka
    He passed us!
[05:21] Sakamichi
    Miracle, spin, spin, spin! Ah, ah, ah!
[05:22] Inashiro
    A miracle?
[05:25] Nagano
    But we slowed him down for five minutes.
[05:27] Nagano
    He can't catch up to the front now.
[05:29] Inashiro
    I'm not so sure.
[05:31] Inashiro
    While we were keeping him at a slow pace,
    he may have been saving his strength.
[05:38] Inashiro
    It's possible his dramatic
    pursuit is about to begin...
[05:43] Sakamichi
    Turn! Turn, legs!
[05:47] Sakamichi
    Princess!
[05:49] Rider A
    We're going uphill!
[05:51] Rider B
    "Princess"?
[05:52] Rider A
    What was Sohoku High School's
    #1 doing behind us?
[05:56] Sakamichi
    Teshima-san, I'm coming.
[05:59] Shizuoka
    What do you mean, "dramatic pursuit"?
[06:01] Inashiro
    He means to catch up to the front.
[06:04] Shizuoka
    That's impossible.
[06:05] Shizuoka
    We slowed him down for so long.
[06:07] Shizuoka
    And the pack's ahead of him.
[06:08] Shizuoka
    It's impossible for him to
    race for the mountain results.
[06:10] Nagano
    When I cut in front of him,
[06:14] Nagano
    instead of reflexively dodging me
    or braking like normal,
[06:18] Nagano
    he just kept staring off into the distance.
[06:22] Nagano
    Like his goal was far ahead of him.
[06:29] Sakamichi
    I've always kept these feelings secret!
[06:29] Rider C
    #1's coming!
[06:31] Rider D
    Sohoku High School second-year
    Onoda Sakamichi!
[06:34] Rider E
    Did he break through the barricade?
[06:34] Sakamichi
    Be my princess forever, ta-tum-tum-tum!
[06:37] Sakamichi
    Princess! Spin, spin, spin!
[06:40] Iwakuni
    It's Sohoku High School's
    Onoda's Singing Climb!
[06:40] Sakamichi
    Miracle, spin, spin, spin! Ah, ah, ah!
[06:43] Okutani
    Don't let him through! Block the road!
[06:45] Both
    Yes, sir!
[06:45] Yamagiwa
    Don't bother.
[06:47] Okutani
    Yamagiwa-san...
[06:49] Yamagiwa
    Road racing is a gentleman's sport.
[06:52] Yamagiwa
    Last year's champion
    deserves the most respect.
[06:57] Yamagiwa
    We didn't even send a climber
    to compete for the mountains.
[07:00] Yamagiwa
    Blocking him for no strategic
    reason would be uncool.
[07:07] Yamagiwa
    This is the respect we have for tag #1.
[07:14] Sakamichi
    Thank you!
[07:17] Sakamichi
    Thanks for the help.
[07:18] Sakamichi
    Excuse me.
[07:20] Rider 1
    His hips are so low.
[07:21] Rider 2
    That's #1...
[07:23] Rider 3
    I would've bragged like
    crazy if I took #1.
[07:26] Rider 4
    He's our opponent, but he's still amazing.
[07:29] Rider 3
    He makes me want to cheer for him.
[07:31] Fan 1
    It's tag #1!
[07:33] Fan 2
    The pack's right in front of you!
[07:36] Fan 2
    Once you pass that, your team's right there!
[07:38] Sakamichi
    Princess!
[07:39] Sakamichi
    I can almost see the pack.
[07:43] Sakamichi
    Once I pass that, I'll be with my team.
[07:46] Sakamichi
    Excuse me. Let me through, please!
[07:53] Sakamichi
    Thank you!
[07:55] Okutani
    You think he'll make it all the way there?
[07:58] Yamagiwa
    It's not that simple.
[08:01] Yamagiwa
    Road racing is aiming for victory as a team.
[08:04] Yamagiwa
    Naturally, there will be some
    who won't want to let him pass.
[08:10] Sakamichi
    I made it through the pack.
[08:17] Sakamichi
    Kyoto Fushimi High School...
[08:25] Midousuji
    What's wrong? You look
    like you've seen a ghost.
[08:32] Sakamichi
    Midousuji-kun...
[08:40] Sakamichi
    Midousuji-kun again...
[08:42] Midousuji
    You in a hurry?
[08:45] Midousuji
    Lose something important?
[08:50] Midousuji
    Something similar happened
    last year, didn't it?
[09:00] Midousuji
    What did you lose?
[09:02] Midousuji
    Sorry, but I'm controlling this pack.
[09:07] Sakamichi
    I need to get past Midousuji-kun.
[09:10] Sakamichi
    Through Kyoto Fushimi High School.
[09:17] Sakamichi
    Komori-kun...
[09:18] Midousuji
    You must've lost something
    irreplaceable to you.
[09:24] Midousuji
    Was it your trust? Your role?
[09:26] Midousuji
    Your eyes are desperate.
[09:28] Sakamichi
    I need to get back to the others.
[09:31] Sakamichi
    To Teshima-san!
[09:33] Midousuji
    But whatever you've lost isn't coming back.
[09:39] Sakamichi
    Let me through!
[09:43] Mizuta
    You're not getting through, #1.
[09:46] Mizuta
    As Kyoto Fushimi High School's
    captain and secret ace,
[09:50] Mizuta
    and as a rider must stronger than I was
    last year, I, Mizuta Nobuyuki, will stop you.
[09:54] Mizuta
    I'm the guy who stopped Hakone Academy
    High School's #2, Arakita Yasutomo.
[09:58] Mizuta
    I am Kyoto Fushimi High School's Iron Wall!
[10:00] Midousuji
    Mizuta-kun!
[10:03] Midousuji
    All I did was instruct you to enter Phase 9.
[10:07] Midousuji
    Stop #1 if he tries to get ahead.
[10:10] Midousuji
    I didn't say you could chat with him.
[10:14] Sakamichi
    Midousuji-kun looked bigger for a second.
[10:17] Mizuta
    I-I'm not.
[10:18] Mizuta
    As the team's captain, I was
    just telling him who we are.
[10:21] Midousuji
    We don't need that kind of vanity.
[10:26] Midousuji
    What my team needs is
    perfect soldiers. True Zakus.
[10:32] Midousuji
    With only the will to move forward,
    even if their arms and legs fall off.
[10:35] Midousuji
    If you're going to show off your
    individuality just because it's the Inter-High,
[10:40] Midousuji
    I'll let you go...
[10:42] Midousuji
    At any time.
[10:45] Mizuta
    I-I get it, Midousuji-kun.
[10:50] Yamaguchi
    Midousuji...
[10:52] (Flashback) Midousuji
    We have only one goal this year.
[10:56] (Flashback) Midousuji
    And that's victory.
[10:59] Yamaguchi
    He seems bigger lately.
[11:01] Yamaguchi
    That pressure...
[11:04] (Flashback) Midousuji
    Anyone thinking too many stupid
    thoughts to keep up can quit.
[11:11] Yamaguchi
    Eighty percent of the first-years
    who joined this year quit.

[11:17] (Flashback) Yamaguchi
    There you are, Ishigaki-san.
[11:21] (Flashback) Ishigaki
    I graduated.
[11:23] (Flashback) Ishigaki
    I need to thank you, Yama.
[11:26] (Flashback) Ishigaki
    Thanks for your help.
[11:27] (Flashback) Yamaguchi
    Oh, no. Thank you.
[11:30] (Flashback) Ishigaki
    You worked hard at the Inter-High.
[11:33] (Flashback) Ishigaki
    I remember how you pulled on the
    flats during the second day.
[11:38] (Flashback) Ishigaki
    It was amazing.
[11:39] (Flashback) Yamaguchi
    I dropped out in the mountains
    after that, though.
[11:43] (Flashback) Ishigaki
    I'm counting on you to
    carry the team next year.
[11:45] (Flashback) Yamaguchi
    What?
[11:46] (Flashback) Yamaguchi
    You should be telling
    Mizuta and Midousuji that.
[11:49] (Flashback) Yamaguchi
    I'll just be doing my
    best as their assistant.
[11:53] (Flashback) Yamaguchi
    Everyone's waiting.
[11:54] (Flashback) Yamaguchi
    Let's go to the third-year sendoff party.
[11:57] (Flashback) Yamaguchi
    Midousuji won't be there, though.
[12:00] (Flashback) Ishigaki
    Yama...
[12:03] (Flashback) Ishigaki
    You're a patient guy.
[12:06] (Flashback) Yamaguchi
    What?
[12:08] (Flashback) Ishigaki
    Midousuji is a talented rider.
[12:10] (Flashback) Ishigaki
    His legs are strong,
    and his instincts are good.
[12:12] (Flashback) Ishigaki
    He has leadership qualities, too.
[12:14] (Flashback) Ishigaki
    But to win at road races,
[12:18] (Flashback) Ishigaki
    in the end, you need a conscience to
    tell you to believe in each other.
[12:22] (Flashback) Ishigaki
    Yama, you have to be Midousuji's conscience.
[12:26] (Flashback) Yamaguchi
    What?
[12:27] (Flashback) Ishigaki
    When the time comes, the one
    who stops Midousuji will be...
[12:31] Ishigaki
    ...you, Yama.
[12:34] Yamaguchi
    You want me to stop Midousuji?
[12:36] Yamaguchi
    Can I do that?
[12:39] Midousuji
    I know this guy can be trouble, too.
[12:45] Midousuji
    After all, he took the final peak last year.
[12:50] Midousuji
    It's been a while, Sakamichi.
[12:54] Sakamichi
    Midousuji-kun...
[12:57] Sakamichi
    Let me through!
[13:00] Midousuji
    Let you through?
[13:02] Midousuji
    Do you want to go? No matter what?
[13:06] Midousuji
    In that case...
[13:08] Midousuji
    Shall we work together?
[13:11] Sakamichi
    Work together?
[13:12] Midousuji
    You really think you'll make it to the
    front when you're this far behind?
[13:17] Midousuji
    Even if you did catch up, you'd be exhausted.
[13:21] Midousuji
    You might not be able to accomplish anything.
[13:25] Midousuji
    But if you and I ride together,
[13:30] Midousuji
    we'll be half as tired.
[13:33] Midousuji
    I know. I'll send Yamaguchi-kun, too.
[13:39] Midousuji
    We'll have him pedal, too.
[13:42] Midousuji
    Then we'll be one-third as tired.
[13:45] Midousuji
    I want to go to the front. So do you.
[13:49] Midousuji
    Our goals are aligned.
[13:51] Midousuji
    What could be more convenient?
[13:54] Sakamichi
    I thought he would try to stop me.
[13:59] Midousuji
    Come on.
[14:01] Midousuji
    We fought each other last year.
[14:05] Midousuji
    There's no need to hold back.
    I'll pull first.
[14:09] Midousuji
    Why are you thinking? Don't think so much.
[14:13] Midousuji
    Anyone would take the faster
    train to get to their destination,
[14:16] Midousuji
    if the express and regular
    trains cost the same.
[14:21] Midousuji
    You're supposed to say yes.
[14:23] Midousuji
    It's simple.
[14:26] Sakamichi
    What will happen if I go with Midousuji-kun?
[14:28] Sakamichi
    I'll get there faster, but is that all?
[14:31] Sakamichi
    Think, think. Um...
[14:35] Midousuji
    Let's go together.
[14:38] Midousuji
    Take me to the front,
[14:40] Midousuji
    and you can fight for the mountain
    result to your heart's content.
[14:45] Midousuji
    I'll be cheering for you.
[14:47] Midousuji
    But after that, I'll be
    taking the finish line.
[14:53] Midousuji
    Hurry up. The train's leaving.
[14:56] Midousuji
    Beeeeep.
[14:57] Sakamichi
    Think, think...
[14:59] Midousuji
    Please hurry if you're boarding the train.
[15:02] Midousuji
    Tweedle, tweedle, tweedle...
[15:03] Sakamichi
    Think, think.
[15:06] (Flashback) Teshima
    You'll have to decide your
    own path for yourself.
[15:10] (Flashback) Teshima
    If you're ever unsure, do this.
[15:14] (Flashback) Teshima
    Consider all your options, and pick
    the first one that comes to mind.
[15:20] Sakamichi
    Sorry, but I'll pass.
[15:23] Sakamichi
    I'll reach the front on my own.
[15:25] Sakamichi
    Sorry for rejecting your offer, Midousuji-kun!
[15:29] Yamaguchi
    He said no under these circumstances.
[15:32] Midousuji
    Huh...
[15:34] Midousuji
    Apparently, he's not an idiot.
[15:36] Sakamichi
    So let me through!
[15:38] Midousuji
    I can't do that, but if you can
    break away from him, you can go.
[15:48] Midousuji
    Yamaguchi-kun.
[15:50] Yamaguchi
    What?
[15:51] Midousuji
    You're up.
[15:54] Sakamichi
    This guy...
[15:56] Sakamichi
    I just have to break away from this guy.
[15:58] Midousuji
    You can handle Phase 11, can't you?
[16:02] Midousuji
    Go stop #1.
[16:04] Yamaguchi
    What?
[16:06] Mizuta
    You're not sending me, Midousuji-kun?
[16:08] Midousuji
    You can do it if you throw away the
    unnecessary things you're dearly holding onto.
[16:15] Ishigaki
    You have to be Midousuji's conscience.
[16:21] Sakamichi
    Princess!
[16:22] Midousuji
    Hurry up, Yamaguchi-kun.
[16:29] Yamaguchi
    He's fast.
[16:33] Yamagushi
    Why am I chasing after #1 in the mountains?
[16:37] Yamaguchi
    I'm...
[16:38] Yamaguchi
    I'm a sprinter, Midousuji.
[16:45] (Flashback) Ishigaki
    Be his conscience.
[16:47] Yamaguchi
    Why does everyone always make
    such unreasonable demands of me?
[16:53] Yamaguchi
    I can't do it.
[16:54] Yamaguchi
    I just used up all my strength.
[16:58] Yamaguchi
    I can't stop him. I...
[17:02] (Flashback) Ishigaki
    Are you a first-year?
[17:04] (Flashback) Ishigaki
    Still deciding which club to join?
[17:05] (Flashback) Yamaguchi
    Yeah. I used to play basketball,
[17:08] (Flashback) Yamaguchi
    but I thought I'd do something
    different in high school.
[17:10] (Flashback) Ishigaki
    Why don't you try biking?
[17:12] (Flashback) Ishigaki
    We've got a good team,
    and we win regularly in Kyoto.
[17:16] (Flashback) Yamaguchi
    I can't join a club that's too strong.
[17:18] (Flashback) Yamaguchi
    I could never be the best, and I don't
    like being the center of attention.
[17:23] (Flashback) Ishigaki
    Bike riding is a team sport.
[17:26] (Flashback) Ishigaki
    It's a sport of people who
    work behind the scenes.
[17:29] Yamaguchi
    A team sport...
[17:32] (Flashback) Ishigaki
    That's it. Hold that position.
[17:35] (Flashback) Yamaguchi
    Yes, sir.
[17:36] (Flashback) Ishigaki
    Hold that position until you
    make it through the corner.
[17:39] (Flashback) Yamaguchi
    Yes, sir.
[17:40] (Flashback) Ishigaki
    Thanks, Yama.
[17:42] (Flashback) Ishigaki
    Thanks to you, I won.
[17:44] (Flashback) Yamaguchi
    Yes, sir.
[17:46] Yamaguchi
    I thought I was happy living in the shadows.
[17:51] Yamaguchi
    Honestly, I was uncertain when I was
    chosen to be on the Inter-High team.
[17:55] Yamaguchi
    I can't handle fighting on the
    front lines of the Inter-High.
[18:11] Yamaguchi
    Wa...
[18:13] Yamaguchi
    Wait!
[18:21] Yamaguchi
    How did he reject Midousuji like that?
[18:25] Yamaguchi
    He seems like a pushover. He's so small.
[18:29] Yamaguchi
    How can he climb like that?
[18:32] Yamaguchi
    He smells like a man of the shadows, like me.
[18:36] Yamaguchi
    Is he not?
[18:40] Yamaguchi
    Who waits when their opponents
    tell them to wait?
[18:45] Yamaguchi
    Onoda must be a good guy.
[18:48] Yamaguchi
    You were right to reject Midousuji's offer.
[18:53] Yamaguchi
    If you'd worked together with Midousuji,
    Sohoku High School would've lost.
[19:00] Sakamichi
    Really?
[19:02] Yamaguchi
    You have good instincts.
[19:04] Sakamichi
    Th-Thank you, um...
[19:07] Yamaguchi
    I'm a third-year, Yama.
[19:10] Sakamichi
    Yama-san...
[19:12] Sakamichi
    Excuse me!
[19:16] Yamaguchi
    What a strange guy.
[19:18] Yamaguchi
    "He has a strange aura about him."
[19:21] Yamaguchi
    Ishigaki-san said the same thing.
[19:24] Yamaguchi
    An aura different from Midousuji's.
[19:34] Kaburagi
    Onoda-san!
[19:35] Sakamichi
    Sorry I'm late!
[19:38] Naruko
    You idiot! How long were
    you gonna make us wait?
[19:41] Sakamichi
    Sorry.
[19:43] Kaburagi
    You made it through that
    pack? That's amazing.
[19:46] Aoyagi
    Good work catching up. Rest in the back.
[19:50] Sakamichi
    Um, I-I...
[19:54] Kuroda
    Touichirou...
[19:55] Kuroda
    Trouble caught up.
[19:57] Yuto
    Want me to keep him in check?
[19:59] Izumida
    No, don't bother.
[20:01] Izumida
    There's no need to waste our energy.
[20:05] Imaizumi
    I'm directing the team right now.
[20:09] Imaizumi
    This is what Teshima-san told us.
[20:12] (Flashback) Teshima
    If Onoda makes it through the
    blockade and catches up to the team,
[20:15] (Flashback) Teshima
    send him to the front if he's less
    than three and a half minutes behind.
[20:19] (Flashback) Teshima
    Onoda's strong enough to
    catch up to the front.
[20:21] (Flashback) Teshima
    But if it's more than that...
[20:25] Imaizumi
    You can't catch up to the front.
[20:27] Imaizumi
    It's already been four and
    a half. It's been too long.
[20:31] Sakamichi
    Imaizumi-kun...
[20:33] Imaizumi
    No matter how hard you pedal, you may not
    even catch a glimpse of Teshima-san's back.
[20:37] Imaizumi
    It's smarter for you to rest
    your legs with the team.
[20:42] Imaizumi
    Do you still want to go?
[20:44] Sakamichi
    Yeah.
[20:46] Imaizumi
    Sheesh. You're unbelievable.
[20:49] Sakamichi
    Sorry.
[20:51] Imaizumi
    Take this.
[20:53] Imaizumi
    When Teshima-san left, he left
    one behind to lighten his load.
[20:58] Imaizumi
    He's probably parched.
[21:01] Naruko
    Tell him we're rooting for him.
[21:04] Aoyagi
    Onoda...
[21:06] Aoyagi
    Junta is fighting.
[21:09] Aoyagi
    Take our hopes.
[21:13] Aoyagi
    Take them to him, Sakamichi!
[21:17] Sakamichi
    Yes, sir!
[22:54] Kotori
    I'm going to be late.
[22:56] Mage
    Unbelievable. You're a
    second-year starting today.
[22:59] Mage
    You haven't matured at all, Kotori-sama.
[23:02] Kotori
    Yeah, but...
[23:04] Kotori
    When I think about seeing
    Arimaru-kun again...
[23:11] Kotaro
    You're as defenseless as ever, Kotori.
[23:14] Kotori
    Sheesh.
[23:15] Kotori
    You're so mean, Kotaro-kun.
[23:17] Kotaro
    I'll take care of you from now on.
[23:23] Kotori
    Why is my heart pounding?
[23:26] Song
    I've always kept (spin, spin)
[23:28] Song
    These feelings secret (spin, spin)
[23:31] Song
    Be my princess forever (ta-tum-tum-tum)
[23:34] Imaizumi
    What?

[02:11] Teshima
    Manami Sangaku.
[02:12] Teshima
    Racing you and taking the first day's
     mountain number tag is my job!
[02:20] Manami
    I'm starting to get interested.
[02:23] Teshima
    Without Onoda, the only
    climber we could send was me.
[02:28] Teshima
    So...
[02:30] Teshima
    I'll take the mountain number tag!
[02:36] Fans
    You can do it!
[02:38] Fan
    Sohoku High School's in front!
[02:39] Fan
    On the winding roads of Irohazaka?
    That's amazing!
[02:42] Fan
    But Hakone Academy High School's
    rider seems more composed.
[02:45] Fan
    Is he smiling?
[02:46] Fan
    He's letting #5 get in front of him!
[02:49] Manami
    Are you okay, Teshima-san?
[02:51] Manami
    Are you sure you're not pushing yourself
    too hard by keeping up that high pace?
[02:54] Teshima
    I am.
[02:56] Teshima
    But I'm racing against you.
[02:58] Teshima
    It's worth it.
[03:00] Manami
    I'm honored.
[03:05] Teshima
    He's fast. He caught up in a second.
[03:06] Manami
    Mind if I ride alongside you?
[03:08] Teshima
    What are we doing, sitting on a park bench?
[03:10] Teshima
    Want to switch places?
[03:11] Teshima
    We just ran into a headwind.
[03:14] Manami
    No, we'll keep going like this.
[03:17] Manami
    Once we make it through the next turn,
    I'll move to the front.
[03:23] Manami
    After all, the wind will change directions.
[03:25] Teshima
    A tailwind?
[03:28] Teshima
    Crap!
[03:29] Teshima
    The wind direction changes on
    each turn on a zigzagging road.
[03:33] Teshima
    Manami Sangaku's planning to use his wings.
[03:40] Manami
    The wind's coming.
[03:44] Teshima
    If I don't get ahead of
    him now, he'll catch up.
[03:48] Teshima
    If he does...
[03:56] Manami
    Coming through.
[04:02] Manami
    I feel alive.
[04:05] Manami
    It feels awesome.
[04:12] Teshima
    If he does...
[04:15] Koga
    Teshima went?
[04:17] Koga
    What happened to Onoda?
[04:18] Miki
    Hakone Academy High School sent Manami-kun.
[04:21] Koga
    Manami?
[04:23] Aya
    Is he strong?
[04:24] Aya
    Is that Manami guy bad news?
[04:26] Miki
    He's the climber we fought
    at the finish line last year.
[04:30] Aya
    Yikes. That guy?
[04:32] Aya
    But Teshima-san's strong, too, right?
[04:34] Aya
    He's the captain.
[04:37] Koga
    Is that role too heavy for you, Teshima?
[04:41] Aya
    Hey, why isn't anyone talking?
[04:44] Aya
    Did you guys give up?
[04:47] Sugimoto
    I haven't given up.
[04:49] Sugimoto
    M-Manami's just a little fast!
[04:53] Sugimoto
    Who cares about Hakone?
[04:54] Sugimoto
    We've practiced a lot, too.
[04:57] Danchiku
    Sugimoto-san...
[04:59] Sugimoto
    Teshima-san always states the obvious.
[05:03] (Flashback) Teshima
    Don't apply any unnecessary
    force to your pedals.
[05:05] (Flashback) Sugimoto
    Yes, sir. I know.
[05:08] (Flashback) Teshima
    Sugimoto, you'll get there faster if
    you climb stairs one step at a time.
[05:13] (Flashback) Sugimoto
    I saw that on TV.
[05:15] (Flashback) Sugimoto
    Your muscles last longer
    than if you skip steps.
[05:20] Sugimoto
    I know. It's obvious.
[05:22] Sugimoto
    Even I know.
[05:24] Sugimoto
    But he's the kind of person who puts
[05:27] Sugimoto
    each and every one of those
    obvious facts into practice.
[05:34] Teshima
    Don't let your pedaling waver
    when you're struggling.
[05:38] Teshima
    I'm an ordinary guy.
[05:40] Teshima
    I don't have power. I don't
    have flashes of inspiration.
[05:43] Teshima
    That's why I have to convert all
    of my strength into forward thrust.
[05:49] Teshima
    The fundamentals are important.
[05:50] Teshima
    Everything stands on them.
[05:53] Teshima
    It would suck if he caught up to me.
[05:57] Teshima
    Actually, he already passed me.
[06:00] Teshima
    Catching up to him again will be hard.
[06:10] Teshima
    Wait, Manami.
[06:13] Teshima
    What's the hurry?
[06:16] Manami
    I thought your spirit broke
    when I passed you earlier.
[06:19] Manami
    You don't have to force yourself to keep up.
[06:22] Teshima
    It's just like your wings.
[06:25] Teshima
    Pushing myself too hard
    is my strongest technique.
[06:29] Manami
    Your body is screaming.
[06:34] Teshima
    Want to try me?
[06:39] Manami
    Are your hands numb?
[06:42] Teshima
    They're trembling with excitement.
[06:44] Manami
    That's promising.
[06:45] Manami
    I guess I'll start, too...
[06:48] Manami
    Going all out.
[06:54] Teshima
    Don't lose it.
[06:57] Teshima
    Don't lose focus,
[07:01] Teshima
    Teshima Junta!
[07:04] Manami
    Go!
[07:08] Teshima
    So fast!
[07:12] Teshima
    It's hard.
[07:13] Teshima
    I feel like all my pores are
    about to start bleeding.
[07:16] Teshima
    Endure it. Endure it.
[07:19] Teshima
    He's trying to break away from me.
[07:23] Teshima
    If he breaks away now, it's over.
[07:26] Teshima
    Endure it.
[07:28] Teshima
    He's fast. Manami's fast.
[07:32] Teshima
    Is this the full strength of
    Hakone Academy High School's ace climber?
[07:40] Teshima
    Come to think of it, I made that shot into
    the trash can during class the other day.
[07:48] Teshima
    My neighbor Hirata thought it was great.
[07:52] Teshima
    I think Hirata said she has a sister.
[07:56] (Flashback) Teshima
    Whew.
[07:58] (Flashback) Teshima
    Nothing beats the moment you fall
    into bed after finishing practice,
[08:01] (Flashback) Teshima
    taking a bath, and eating dinner.
[08:04] (Flashback) Teshima
    Since I don't have any assignments tonight,
    I might fall asleep like this.
[08:08] (Flashback) Teshima
    Someone turn out the lights.
[08:11] (Flashback) Teshima
    My bed feels good.
[08:13] (Flashback) Teshima
    I don't have to move.
[08:15] (Flashback) Teshima
    I can forget all my pain.
[08:19] Teshima
    Beds are the best.
[08:30] Teshima
    What are you doing, Teshima Junta?
[08:32] Teshima
    You're in the middle of a race!
[08:35] Fan
    He pushed himself back up
    when he started to fall.
[08:37] Fan
    He might have lost
    consciousness for a second.
[08:40] Fan
    What?
[08:41] Fan
    Your brain turns off under
    brutal circumstances.
[08:45] Teshima
    I told you not to lose focus!
[08:48] Teshima
    I can barely keep up. I'm at my limit.
[08:52] Manami
    You seem to be struggling.
[08:53] Manami
    You're lucky, Teshima-san.
[08:55] Manami
    This is enough to make you feel alive.
[08:58] Teshima
    I only feel like I'm dead,
[09:02] Teshima
    Manami!
[09:04] Manami
    Isn't this starting to get fun, Teshima-san?
[09:10] Teshima
    Is your focus heightened, too, Manami?
[09:14] Manami
    It is.
[09:15] Manami
    I wasn't expecting today's
    mountains to be this much fun.
[09:20] Manami
    You're at your limit, but you're keeping up.
[09:23] Manami
    You're not flashy.
[09:25] Manami
    You're not strong.
[09:26] Teshima
    Leave me alone.
[09:28] Manami
    Come to think of it...
[09:29] (Flashback) Teshima
    But I always arrive at the same answer.
[09:33] Manami
    What's your "one answer"?
[09:36] Teshima
    You were listening?
[09:37] Manami
    Is it because you're the captain?
[09:39] Manami
    Because you're a third-year?
[09:41] Teshima
    You accelerated before
    I was finished talking.
[09:44] Manami
    I wasn't interested then.
[09:47] Manami
    Is it because you wear a
    single-digit number tag?
[09:51] Teshima
    His question was so direct, I laughed.
[09:54] Teshima
    No. It's simpler than that.
[10:00] Teshima
    I...
[10:02] Teshima
    I love bikes.
[10:05] Teshima
    They always take you to your destination.
    That's why I ride.
[10:10] Teshima
    I chase. I pedal.
[10:12] Teshima
    I help.
[10:14] Teshima
    I believe in miracles.
[10:16] Teshima
    After I started racing, I thought
    about quitting, since I'd never place first.
[10:21] Teshima
    But I met a guy named Aoyagi and
    realized that wasn't everything.
[10:28] Teshima
    I met the bespectacled Onoda,
    the giant Imaizumi, and the red Naruko.
[10:34] Teshima
    Seeing them and a bunch of others ride,
    I learned something.
[10:39] Teshima
    Even if the going gets rough and you
    want to quit, you have to stay strong.
[10:44] Teshima
    They're all connected through bicycles.
[10:51] Teshima
    I think Onoda said something similar.
[10:54] Manami
    Is your plan to have Sakamichi-kun come?
[10:57] Manami
    Do you think you can win
    the mountains like that?
[11:04] Teshima
    Wouldn't it be all right if
    even I placed first, just once?
[11:12] Teshima
    It's what I secretly think.
[11:20] Kuroda
    He left right away.
[11:22] Ashikiba
    Sohoku High School's Onoda...
[11:24] Doubashi
    Despite being small,
    his pressure was amazing.
[11:28] Izumida
    They're wasting their time.
[11:29] Izumida
    He's too far behind. Even if
    he goes, he can't catch up.
[11:34] Izumida
    The race will come down to those two...
[11:36] Izumida
    Manami and Teshima-kun.
[11:41] Izumida
    If it's actually a race, that is.
[11:46] Izumida
    That's it.
[11:48] Izumida
    He went to save Teshima,
    who's surely about to drop out.
[11:53] Izumida
    So he's just the rescue team?
[11:56] Fan
    You can do it!
[11:59] Manami
    It's amazing that you're still keeping up.
[12:02] Manami
    Just how stubborn are you?
[12:04] Teshima
    I'll stick with you until
    the mountain result line.
[12:09] Teshima
    That's why I'm riding.
[12:13] Manami
    There's three kilometers left to the line.
[12:15] Manami
    It doesn't look like Sakamichi-kun is coming.
[12:19] Teshima
    Don't worry.
[12:21] Teshima
    I gave up hope that he would
    at the four kilometer mark.
[12:24] Manami
    So you're challenging me to
    a one-on-one mountain race.
[12:28] Teshima
    That's what I've been saying.
[12:31] Manami
    Then it's on.
[12:33] Manami
    The end of Irohazaka lies
    three kilometers ahead
[12:36] Manami
    at the mountain result line of the
    Akechidaira observation platform.
[12:41] Teshima
    If you're unhappy with your opponent,
    you'd better say so now.
[12:45] Teshima
    Even I'd be depressed if you
    told me after this is over.
[12:49] Manami
    No, I said plenty when we started.
[12:52] Manami
    But now I feel differently.
[12:55] Manami
    This is the first time I've
    encountered someone like you.
[12:59] Manami
    Most people give up after
    falling behind a couple times.
[13:03] Manami
    But you don't give up, no matter
    how many times I trample you.
[13:06] Manami
    You're like a summer weed.
[13:09] Teshima
    That's not a compliment.
[13:10] Manami
    That's why I feel this way.
[13:13] Manami
    If I don't ride as hard
    as I can, it'd be a waste.
[13:18] Teshima
    What?
[13:20] Manami
    Go!
[13:22] Fan
    He shifted up a gear on a climb!
[13:24] Fan
    He's so fast!
[13:25] Fan
    Sohoku High School's #5 is keeping up!
[13:29] Fan
    I can't believe he accelerated
    on the steep part of Irohazaka.
[13:33] Fan
    Manami is a natural climber, too.
[13:37] Fan
    But isn't that guy keeping up
    with him the most amazing of all?
[13:44] Kaburagi
    They should be coming up on
    the mountain result line.
[13:47] Kaburagi
    Anyway, I was surprised
    when Teshima-san left.
[13:51] Kaburagi
    He's up against their mountain ace.
    He doesn't stand a chance.
[13:56] Kaburagi
    He always talks about how weak he is.
[13:58] Kaburagi
    I thought Imaizumi-san should've gone, too.
[14:03] Aoyagi
    You don't understand, Kaburagi.
[14:07] Aoyagi
    Junta left because he knows he's weak.
[14:11] Kaburagi
    What?
[14:13] Aoyagi
    If Imaizumi had gone, Ashikiba would've gone.
[14:16] Aoyagi
    If Naruko had gone,
    Kuroda would've gone after him.
[14:20] Aoyagi
    But Junta is different.
[14:22] Aoyagi
    He knew Hakone Academy High School
    wouldn't send someone after him,
[14:24] Aoyagi
    because they believe Manami
    would be enough to stop him.
[14:28] Kaburagi
    It was on purpose?
[14:29] Kaburagi
    That was on purpose?
[14:31] Kaburagi
    Does that mean this was all
    part of Teshima-san's plan?
[14:35] Kaburagi
    Seriously? Teshima-san is amazing.
[14:38] Kaburagi
    He might have some plan for
    beating Manami-san, too.
[14:44] Aoyagi
    A plan?
[14:46] Aoyagi
    Probably not.
[14:50] Teshima
    Manami!
[14:55] Teshima
    I'm struggling so much,
    I can't raise my head.
[14:58] Teshima
    My hands are full trying
    to follow his wheels.
[15:02] Teshima
    Don't fall behind.
    Please don't fall behind, wheels.
[15:06] Teshima
    If I don't stay right on the line,
    I won't stand a chance.
[15:10] Teshima
    I don't care if my legs fall apart.
[15:12] Teshima
    I don't care if I lose consciousness.
[15:15] Teshima
    Three kilometers left.
[15:17] Teshima
    Until I cross the line,
    let my body keep moving!
[15:25] Teshima
    But the calmer side of me says this.
[15:31] Teshima
    "Teshima Junta, three years ago,
    you quit road racing."
[15:37] Teshima
    "Now you're fighting for first in the
    glorious mountain stage of the Inter-High."
[15:44] Teshima
    Surely it's all right
    for a crownless man like me
[15:50] Teshima
    to win just once.
[15:54] Manami
    It's strange, Teshima-san.
[15:56] Manami
    Your riding has been sharper since you
    realized Sakamichi-kun isn't coming.
[16:02] Teshima
    I wonder why.
[16:04] Teshima
    My body does feel lighter.
[16:08] Teshima
    Maybe it's because
    I realized I have to do it.
[16:12] Teshima
    Maybe it's because I'm
    carrying my teammates' hopes.
[16:15] Manami
    You said you gave up hope earlier,
    but you never had hope.
[16:20] Teshima
    He might be right. I don't have hope.
[16:24] Teshima
    All I can do is move forward one step
     at a time with my own two legs.
[16:28] Teshima
    It's what I've always done.
[16:32] Fan
    You can do it!
[16:33] Teshima
    In a few kilometers,
    my efforts will be rewarded.
[16:38] Teshima
    I may be able to experience that moment.
[16:44] Manami
    Road racing really is fun.
    Right, Teshima-san?
[16:48] Teshima
    Yeah, you're right.
[16:50] Teshima
    It's fun, Manami.
[16:54] Manami
    That's the first time you agreed with me.
[16:56] Teshima
    Of course riding a bike is fun!
[17:01] Fan
    It's Yamagata Mogami High School,
    who was riding alone!
[17:04] Fan
    They passed the favorite to win
    the mountains, Kawahara Gunpei!
[17:10] Fan
    Now Hakone Academy High School and
    Sohoku High School are racing for first!
[17:14] Manami
    There's nothing to get in our
    way anymore, Teshima-san.
[17:17] Teshima
    Was he planning to pass him here?
[17:22] Kawahara
    Were they going for the result?
[17:23] Kawahara
    But Sohoku High School's #5 was behind him.
[17:28] Kawahara
    I thought Sohoku High School's ace was
    the guy I told Bunya to keep in check.
[17:33] Kawahara
    Number 5 flew under my radar.
[17:37] Kawahara
    I meant to take the first day's mountain
    result by riding ahead of the others.
[17:42] Kawahara
    But I couldn't react.
[17:45] Kawahara
    Normally, I should've been able to follow
    them and fight until the finish line.
[17:49] Kawahara
    I'm sorry, Bunya.
[17:51] Kawahara
    You did your job, too.
[17:55] Kawahara
    But there are demons at the Inter-High.
[18:00] Kawahara
    Demons who turn birds flying
    in the sky into pebbles.
[18:04] Kawahara
    And demons who turn
    ordinary pebbles into birds.
[18:09] Kawahara
    The Inter-High is a special race.
[18:12] Kawahara
    Will, responsibility, tension,
    and purpose mix together.
[18:17] Kawahara
    You can't move like you normally do here.
[18:22] Kawahara
    With the second type of demon on
    your side, you have nothing to fear.
[18:28] Kawahara
    Could it be that #5 is...
[18:36] Teshima
    A chance, a chance...
[18:39] Teshima
    Search for a chance.
[18:41] Teshima
    Fifteen hundred meters left.
[18:45] Teshima
    I can't win if I keep riding behind Manami.
[18:48] Teshima
    I have to pass him somewhere.
[18:51] Teshima
    On the way?
[18:53] Teshima
    Before the finish line? Now?
[18:55] Teshima
    I can't miss the tiniest of mistakes.
[18:59] Teshima
    Damn it!
[19:02] Teshima
    Whoa!
[19:04] Teshima
    Damn it, I fell behind!
[19:07] Teshima
    There's no way he'd make a mistake.
[19:09] Teshima
    If anyone makes one, it'll be me.
[19:11] Teshima
    So what should I do?
[19:14] Teshima
    Twelve hundred meters left...
[19:16] Manami
    You're keeping up.
    You're keeping up, Teshima-san!
[19:20] Manami
    I keep shifting up.
[19:22] Teshima
    He shifted up again?
[19:24] Teshima
    This isn't an opportunity, it's a disaster.
[19:26] Teshima
    Is he trying to kill me?
[19:32] Teshima
    One kilometer left!
[19:34] Teshima
    The line...
[19:35] Manami
    is close!
[19:37] Teshima
    Find an opportunity.
[19:40] Teshima
    One kilometer left...
[19:41] Teshima
    Just one kilometer in a lifetime.
[19:45] Teshima
    I'll take first.
[19:47] Teshima
    It's right in front of me!
[19:53] Teshima
    My legs are at their limit.
[19:57] Teshima
    My hands are losing their grip.
[19:59] Teshima
    But they've been that way for a while.
[20:02] Teshima
    Believe in yourself!
[20:05] Teshima
    In miracles!
[20:06] Fan
    #5 is amazing!
[20:08] Fan
    He's giving Manami a run for his money!
[20:10] Fans
    Teshima!
[20:10] Fan
    I kind of like all-out, reckless riders like him!
[20:12] Fans
    Teshima!
[20:15] Fans
    Teshima-san!
[20:16] Fan
    You can do it, Sohoku High School!
[20:18] Fan
    Take it, Teshima!
[20:21] Teshima
    Seriously?
[20:22] Fan
    Teshima, go!
[20:24] Teshima
    I can hear my name being
    called at the Inter-High.
[20:29] Teshima
    Is this a miracle?
[20:31] Teshima
    I feel stronger.
[20:34] Fan
    You're almost at the end of Irohazaka!
[21:00] Manami
    Crap! My chain!
[21:02] Teshima
    Manami's losing speed?
[21:04] Teshima
    What happened?
[21:06] Teshima
    In any case...
[21:07] Teshima
    Now's my chance!
[21:11] Fan
    Sohoku High School passed him!
[21:12] Fan
    There's 400 meters left!
[22:53] Teshima
    I can't keep going.
[22:54] Teshima
    I can't move another millimeter.
[22:56] Teshima
    I'm going to sleep here.
[22:58] Koga
    What about dinner?
[22:59] Teshima
    I'm not hungry.
[23:01] Teshima
    We ordinary men have reached their limit.
[23:03] Teshima
    Good night.
[23:05] Aoyagi
    Junta, you completed a thousand
    kilometers at this training camp.
[23:09] Aoyagi
    You're not ordinary anymore.
[23:11] Teshima
    Aoyagi...
[23:13] Koga
    Yeah. If you're ordinary,
    what does that make me?
[23:17] Koga
    You're a proper captain now.
[23:20] Koga
    I'm counting on you at the Inter-High.
[23:22] Teshima
    Kimitaka...
[23:25] Koga
    Okay, time for dinner!
[23:27] Aoyagi
    We'll start without you, Junta!
[23:33] Teshima
    I really am ordinary.

[00:15] Teshima
    Now's my chance!
[00:19] Fan
    Sohoku High School passed him!
[00:21] Fan
    There's 400 meters left!
[00:25] Teshima
    Now's my chance.
[00:26] Teshima
    I passed Manami with 400 meters left.
[00:31] Teshima
    Why did he slow down?
[00:33] Teshima
    No, it doesn't matter.
[00:34] Teshima
    I should be looking forward now.
[00:35] Teshima
    It's in front of me...
[00:36] Teshima
    It's right in front of me!
[00:38] Teshima
    I see the red roof of the
    Akechidaira restaurant.
[00:41] Teshima
    That's where the mountain result line is.
[00:44] Teshima
    I'm almost there.
[00:47] Teshima
    All my hairs are standing on end.
[00:49] Teshima
    I have goosebumps.
[00:51] Teshima
    Right now, I'm closest to the mountain line.
[00:54] Teshima
    I'm about to get there first.
[00:57] Teshima
    I've always dreamed of being first.
[01:03] Teshima
    Is this what being first feels like?
[01:06] Teshima
    I climbed so far. I pushed myself so hard.
[01:09] Teshima
    But my legs feel unbelievably light.
[01:12] Teshima
    I'll probably never forget this sight.
[01:18] Fan 1
    Go, Sohoku High School! Keep going!
[01:21] Fan 2
    Take the mountains, #5!
[01:22] Fan 3
    Teshima, last spurt!
[01:24] Teshima
    I know.
[01:25] Fan 4
    Go!
[01:27] Teshima
    Aoyagi, you'll probably be
    surprised by the results.
[01:32] Teshima
    Here I go, Aoyagi.
[01:34] Fan 4
    Don't worry about him! Just go!
[01:35] Fan 5
    Don't turn around!

    Don't worry? Don't turn around?

    Manami got off his bike?
[03:20] Fan 7
    What happened?
[03:22] Fan 8
    Are you okay? I'll hold your bike.
[03:24] Fan 9
    It's his chain. His chain came loose.
[03:26] Fan 10
    What happens if your chain
    comes off during a race?
[03:29] Fan 11
    There's nothing you can do.
[03:31] Fan 11
    The support car can bring you a
    spare wheel if you get a flat.
[03:35] Fan 11
    But you have to fix your chain on your own.
[03:38] Fan 10
    But...
[03:39] Fan 11
    An experienced rider should be able to
    return to the race in less than a minute.
[03:43] Fan 11
    But sometimes that can decide the race.
[03:47] Fan 11
    It can be caused by the smallest thing,
    and it's terrible luck.
[03:51] Fan 10
    But I thought bicycle races
    were supposed to be fair.
[03:54] Fan 11
    Sometimes riders do wait when their
    opponents have mechanical issues.
[03:59] Fan 11
    If they notice, that is.
[04:00] Fan 10
    You mean...
[04:02] Fan 11
    If they don't notice or claim they didn't,
    there's nothing anyone can say.

[04:19] Manami
    I lost 15 to 20 seconds just now.
[04:23] Manami
    I can't make that up in 400 meters.
[04:27] Fan 10
    Will Hakone Academy High
    School's rider catch up?
[04:30] Fan 11
    No, probably not.
[04:32] Fan 11
    They're right before the finish line.
[04:33] Fan 11
    If I were Sohoku High School,
    I wouldn't wait.
[04:36] Manami
    Go!
[04:52] Manami
    H-He... stopped?
[04:56] Manami
    Teshima-san waited for me?

    He noticed what happened?
[05:03] Manami
    But there's 300 meters left.

    He can see the mountain result line.
[05:09] Manami
    It's his chance to win the mountain tag

[05:30] Manami
    Why?
[05:34] Teshima
    I know it's stupid, too.
[05:39] Teshima

[07:37] (Flashback) Toudou
    It's yours. Wear #3 at the next Inter-High.

    But there's Kuroda-san...
[07:45] (Flashback) Toudou
    I've talked to him.

    Is it heavy?

    #3...

    I guess you'll be 13, though.
[07:59] (Flashback) Toudou
    That's an unlucky number.

    You could flip it upside down
    if you're superstitious.

    I'll wear it right side up and overcome it.

    to be equal while they're riding.
[11:44] Teshima
    That thought made me hit the brakes.

    Normally, a person wouldn't
    wait at 300 meters.
[12:06] Manami
    They'd say it could be fixed quickly.
    That it was bad luck.
[12:11] Manami
    That I was just unlucky.
[12:14] Manami
    Everyone wants to win.
[12:16] Manami
    The climber's medal was
    right in front of you.
[12:19] Manami
    But you stopped.
[12:20] Manami
    A man who does things others can't is strong.
[12:29] Teshima
    Don't flatter me.
[12:32] Teshima
    I'm weak.
[12:37] Koga
    Teshima was a close second?
[12:39] Koga
    Is it true?
[12:40] Miki
    Yes, he was milliseconds behind.
[12:44] Danchiku
    Isn't this amazing?
[12:47] Aya
    See? I told you he could do it.
[12:50] Aya
    Second blows, though.
[12:52] Koga
    Teshima, you...
[12:54] Toji
    Wow.
[12:56] Danchiku
    What happened?
[12:58] Miki
    The report doesn't say exactly.
[13:00] Miki
    But it says #13 had mechanical problems.
[13:03] Koga
    Manami did?
[13:05] Danchiku
    Is that when he caught up?
[13:07] Danchiku
    Had he fallen behind?
[13:09] Sugimoto
    I don't think so, Danchiku.
[13:12] Danchiku
    What?
[13:13] Sugimoto
    I don't know how the mechanical
    issues affected the race,
[13:17] Sugimoto
    but I think Teshima-san worked hard
    to stick to Manami the whole time.

[13:39] Kuroda
    That was really close, though.
[13:40] Izumida
    He's the man who makes it happen.
[13:43] Izumida
    Well done, Manami.
[13:45] Izumida
    No, perhaps I should be
    praising the other man instead.
[13:48] Izumida
    I'm impressed Teshima-kun was able
    to keep up with his ordinary riding.
[13:54] Izumida
    Manami seems to have enjoyed himself.
[13:56] Izumida
    But that doesn't change the results.
[13:59] Izumida
    Too bad, Sohoku High School.
[14:01] Izumida
    Your leader lost.
[14:04] Imaizumi
    Teshima-san...
[14:05] Naruko
    Teshima-san...
[14:06] Kaburagi
    Teshima-san...
[14:08] All
    Teshima-san is amazing!
[14:10] Aoyagi
    Junta, you're...
[14:12] Kaburagi
    That's amazing. Honestly, I'm on fire now.
[14:15] Kaburagi
    I'm trembling with excitement.
[14:17] Kaburagi
    Teshima-san, I'm sorry for making fun of you.
[14:21] Kaburagi
    I wish I could go right now
    and race to the finish line.
[14:25] Aoyagi
    You'd better not.
[14:28] Naruko
    So the permed one did it.
[14:31] Naruko
    Our leader is...
[14:32] Imaizumi
    Yeah. A hard worker who
    does what he says he'll do.
[14:36] Imaizumi
    He's Teshima Junta.
[14:44] Fan 31
    Watch out!
[14:45] Fan 32
    #5 is falling!
[14:46] Manami
    Teshima-san?
[14:49] Teshima
    I can finally lie down.
[14:52] Teshima
    I seriously gave everything.
[14:55] Teshima
    I probably won't be able to
    get up again if I lie down now.
[14:59] Teshima
    Sorry, Imaizumi and Naruko.
[15:04] Teshima
    The rest is up to you, Aoyagi.
[15:07] Teshima
    Dropping out after the first day...
[15:10] Teshima
    I really am weak.
[15:12] Teshima
    I've failed as their captain.
[15:14] Teshima
    But sorry, I can't move anymore.
[15:19] Teshima
    It'll be just the five of you.
[15:22] Teshima
    Sorry, Sohoku High School.
[15:27] Sakamichi
    Teshima-san!
[15:29] Fan 34
    It's another Sohoku rider!
[15:30] Sakamichi
    Gotta make it!
[15:47] Teshima
    It's you, Onoda.
[15:51] Sakamichi
    I made it.
[15:52] Fan B
    It's #1!
[15:53] Sakamichi
    I pedaled as hard as I could when I saw you.
[15:53] Fan C
    Sohoku High School's #1 came!
[15:56] Sakamichi
    I'm glad I made it.
[15:58] Teshima
    What are you doing here?
[16:03] Sakamichi
    I got your message.
[16:06] Sakamichi
    Imaizumi-kun gave me permission
    to come support you.
[16:14] Sakamichi
    And...
[16:18] Sakamichi
    To give you these water bottles.
[16:21] Sakamichi
    They thought you'd be parched.
[16:23] Sakamichi
    They're from Imaizumi-kun and Naruko-kun.
[16:26] Teshima
    I'm standing.
[16:29] Teshima
    Does that mean I can keep going?
[16:33] Teshima
    A team that supports each other...
[16:35] Teshima
    Yes, that's the kind of team
    Sohoku High School is.
[16:40] Teshima
    Support, huh?
[16:47] Teshima
    Thanks for the help, Onoda.
[16:55] Teshima
    Let's ride a little longer.
[16:57] Sakamichi
    Yes, sir.
[17:09] Komari
    Hakone Academy High School
    took the mountains.
[17:12] Komari
    Sohoku High School came in second and third.
[17:16] Midousuji
    So you caught up, Sakamichi.
[17:20] Komari
    The guys in front of us are
    probably increasing their pace.
[17:26] Midousuji
    In that case, shall we
    go as well, Komari-kun?
[17:30] Komari
    Yes.
[17:32] Fan 35
    Hakone Academy High School
    just took the mountains.
[17:35] Fan 36
    Hakone Academy High School's so strong.
[17:42] Fan 37
    It's Hakone Academy High School!
[17:43] Fan 35
    They've increased their pace!
[17:45] Fan 36
    Sohoku High School's keeping up!
[17:48] Izumida
    Doubashi took the flats.
    Manami took the mountains.
[17:53] Izumida
    All that's left is the finish line.
[17:58] Yuto
    Should we go a little faster?
[18:01] Izumida
    Not too fast, Yuto.
[18:03] Izumida
    All we have to do now is strike fear
    in the hearts of Sohoku High School.
[18:06] Kuroda
    There's still more than ten
    kilometers to the finish line.
[18:09] Yuto
    Roger that.
[18:14] Imaizumi
    I see. They're fast, but...
[18:18] Imaizumi
    Not too fast.
[18:20] Naruko
    Just so-so.
[18:22] Kaburagi
    They're trying to pull ahead
    of us, but they can't.
[18:27] Aoyagi
    Yeah.
[18:28] Imaizumi
    Onoda overcame a hopeless time
    difference and caught up to the front.
[18:33] Imaizumi
    And most importantly...
[18:35] Imaizumi
    He received Teshima-san's
    passionate vibrations.
[18:38] Imaizumi
    We never give up.
[18:41] Imaizumi
    Let's go, Sohoku High School!
[18:43] All
    Yeah!
[18:52] Naruko
    The first day of the Inter-High...
[18:55] Imaizumi
    The final battle is about to begin.

[21:05] Makishima
    Sorry, Bro.
[21:09] Makishima
    Anyway, they've got directions, announcements,
    automatic doors, and moving sidewalks.
[21:15] Makishima
    They've even got AC.
[21:17] Makishima
    They're too considerate.
[21:24] Makishima
    So hot.
[21:26] Makishima
    It's so humid.
[21:28] Makishima
    It feels like summer in Japan.
[21:31] Makishima
    Nothing's like it.
[21:33] Makishima
    I really feel like I'm back in Japan.
[21:41] Makishima
    Nah, it's too hot.
[21:44] Makishima
    I'm amazed I rode in this heat last year.
[21:48] Makishima
    They're riding right now.
[21:51] Makishima
    I meant to arrive just before they
    started to inspire Sakamichi,
[21:57] Makishima
    but my flight was six hours late.
[22:00] Kinjou
    We waited a long time for you.
[22:03] Makishima
    What?
[22:08] Kinjou
    Makishima, how have you been?
[22:10] Makishima
    K-Kinjou!
[22:13] Makishima
    Calm down, Yusuke.
[22:15] Makishima
    Kinjou couldn't possibly be here.
[22:18] Makishima
    I'm just hallucinating
    because of the jet lag.
[22:20] Kinjou
    How's life in England?
[22:21] Makishima
    Huh?
[22:23] Kinjou
    It's been a while.
[22:24] Makishima
    It's really him.
[22:26] Makishima
    Kinjou!
[22:28] Kinjou
    Makishima.
[22:29] Makishima
    What are you doing here?
[22:31] Kinjou
    When I called your house,
    they told me you were coming back.
[22:35] Kinjou
    You're going to the Inter-High, right?
[22:37] Makishima
    Huh?
[22:38] Kinjou
    Let's hurry. The race has already started.
[22:41] Makishima
    You've been waiting for six hours.
[22:44] Makishima
    You could've gone without me.
[22:46] Kinjou
    Someone said we have to
    wait for anyone who's late.
[22:54] Tadokoro
    Hey. How long were you going
    to make us wait, Makishima?
[22:57] Makishima
    T-Tadokorocchi...
[22:59] Tadokoro
    We can talk later. Get in.
[23:01] Makishima
    Sure.
[23:06] Makishima
    Will we make it in time for the race?
[23:07] Tadokoro
    Who do you think you're talking to?
[23:09] Tadokoro
    I'm Sohoku High School's human
    bullet train, Tadokoro Jin.
[23:19] Tadokoro
    Oxygen!
