    Hakone Academy takes Irohazaka on
    the first day of the Inter-High!
[00:12] Announcer
    #13, the New Mountain God,
[00:16] Announcer
    Manami Sangaku, lets loose a fierce roar!
[00:23] Manami
    I did it, Toudou-san.
[00:26] Manami
    I overcame it.
[00:35] Teshima
    I didn't make it.
[00:42] Teshima
    I can finally lie down.
[00:45] Teshima
    I seriously gave everything.
[00:48] Teshima
    Sorry, Sohoku High School.
[00:53] Sakamichi
    Teshima-san!
[00:55] Fan
    It's another Sohoku rider!
[00:56] Sakamichi
    Gotta make it!
[01:06] Sakamichi
    At our second Inter-High,
     the second-generation Sohoku team lost
[01:11] Sakamichi
    to Hakone Academy and
    Manami-kun on the mountain.
[01:18] Sakamichi
    But...
[01:21] Sakamichi
    Teshima-san's desperate riding,
     his passionate vibrations, inspired us.
[01:28] Sakamichi
    Imaizumi-kun...
[01:30] Sakamichi
    Naruko-kun...
[01:32] Sakamichi
    Kaburagi-kun...
[01:33] Sakamichi
    Aoyagi-san...
[01:36] Sakamichi
    All the people supporting us...
[01:40] Sakamichi
    And me.
[01:43] Teshima
    Support, huh?
[01:50] Teshima
    Thanks for the help, Onoda.
[01:58] Teshima
    Let's ride a little longer.
[02:00] Sakamichi
    Yes, sir.
[02:02] Sakamichi
    It's the first day of the Tochigi Inter-High.
[02:05] Sakamichi
    We'll keep turning our pedals
    toward the finish line.

SIGN    Irohazaka closed  to traffic due to  Inter-High Road Race
[03:52] Miki
    Three riders have crossed the mountain line.
[03:55] Miki
    Manami-kun and Teshima-san were
    followed by #1, Onoda-kun.
[04:00] Koga
    Onoda?
[04:01] Miki
    He wasn't that far behind.
[04:02] Sugimoto
    He caught up to the front.
[04:05] Toji
    It's not just Onoda.
[04:06] Toji
    Hakone Academy and Sohoku's teams
     must be right behind them.
[04:11] Koga
    They should be entering the downhill soon.
[04:13] Koga
    So why is there a traffic jam here?
[04:17] Toji
    There haven't been any
    cars coming down the hill.
[04:20] Toji
    There was probably an accident.
[04:21] Aya
    Huh? What?
[04:23] Aya
    Is this traffic jam that serious?
[04:26] Miki
    There's a feed zone on the other side
    of this slope, at the bottom of the hill.
[04:31] Miki
    And we won't make it there in time.
[04:33] Aya
    What?
[04:34] Miki
    The racers ride under the assumption that
    they'll receive water and food there.
[04:39] Aya
    This can't be good.
[04:41] Sugimoto
    I'll run!
[04:43] Sugimoto
    I'll carry our bags and run!
[04:45] Sugimoto
    It's just a few kilometers!
[04:46] Sugimoto
    If I run, I could make—
[04:48] Koga
    It's impossible, Sugimoto.
[04:50] Koga
    The team will get there before you.
[04:52] Sugimoto
    B-But...
[04:56] Koga
    However...
[04:58] Koga
    A bike could make it in time!
[05:01] Sugimoto
    The team's spare bikes!
[05:05] Koga
    Sugimoto...
[05:06] Sugimoto
    Yes, sir.
[05:07] Koga
    You can't carry water and
    food for six by yourself.
[05:11] Koga
    There's no time to warm up.
[05:14] Koga
    I'll be going all out.
[05:15] Koga
    Think you can keep up with me?
[05:17] Sugimoto
    Yes, sir!
[05:20] Koga
    Let's make sure we get
    there in time, Sugimoto!
[05:23] Sugimoto
    Yes, sir!
[05:26] Aya
    They're fast.
[05:27] Miki
    Yeah. They both are.
[05:31] Miki
    After all, they fought against the current
    Sohoku team and became stronger.
[05:35] Toji
    Whew. Looks like they'll get there in time.
[05:39] Toji
    It's finally starting.
[05:43] Toji
    The final phase of day one of the Inter-High.
[05:47] Fan A
    Now that Hakone Academy's #13
     has taken the mountain,
[05:50] Fan A
    the rest of the team must be coming.
[05:53] Fan B
    There they are!
[05:54] Fan B
    It's Hakone Academy!
[05:55] Fan B
    They're so fast!
[05:57] Fan A
    Sohoku's keeping pace!
[06:02] Kaburagi
    Wow, the air is electric.
[06:04] Kaburagi
    Are we starting already?
[06:10] Kaburagi
    The Inter-High's battle for the finish line?
[06:14] Kaburagi
    We've passed the mountain line.
[06:21] Aoyagi
    Kaburagi...
[06:22] Kaburagi
    Yes?
[06:24] Kaburagi
    I can feel the tension. Could it be?
[06:27] Kaburagi
    Can I go for the finish line?
[06:30] Aoyagi
    No!
[06:31] Kaburagi
    Thank you!
[06:33] Aoyagi
    Listen to me!
[06:35] Aoyagi
    Don't go!
[06:36] Kaburagi
    Why?!
[06:37] Aoyagi
    He's an idiot...
[06:40] Fan C
    Hakone Academy's making its move!
[06:44] Fan D
    He's huge!
[06:46] Fan C
    It's Ashikiba!
[06:47] Fan E
    Kuroda's pulling for him!
[06:49] Fan C
    #13, Hakone Academy third-year Kuroda,
    is pulling for #11, Ashikiba the ace!
[07:02] Kuroda
    Let's decorate the first day's finale in
    grand style, like a Christmas tree, Takuto!
[07:09] Ashikiba
    Yuki-chan, I think New Year's decorations are grander!
[07:15] Fan D
    Kuroda's the ace's assistant?
[07:18] Fan E
    I thought he was a climber!
[07:24] (Flashback) Kuroda
    The ace's assistant?
[07:26] (Flashback) Kuroda
    Me?
[07:27] (Flashback) Izumida
    That's right.
[07:29] (Flashback) Izumida
    Why not give it a proper try, Yuki?
[07:32] (Flashback) Izumida
    The teamwork you showed with Ashikiba
    at the third-year sendoff race was great.
[07:37] (Flashback) Izumida
    I won't force you to do it.
[07:41] (Flashback) Izumimda
    I'm sure you have your
    pride as a climber, too.
[07:45] (Flashback) Kuroda
    You've never stopped acting
    like the class president.
[07:49] (Flashback) Kuroda
    You're too serious, Touichirou.
[07:51] (Flashback) Kuroda
    Did you know I didn't like you?
[07:56] (Flashback) Kuroda
    You were too serious.
[07:57] (Flashback) Kuroda
    You were always scolding me.
[07:59] (Flashback) Kuroda
    But you were also tactless and humorless.
[08:03] (Flashback) Kuroda
    I honestly thought you were dumb.
[08:06] (Flashback) Kuroda
    I was shrewd and athletic.
[08:10] (Flashback) Kuroda
    I thought no one could match me.
[08:13] (Flashback) Kuroda
    But time has passed, and now
    our positions are reversed.
[08:18] (Flashback) Kuroda
    You were chosen for the
    Inter-High and did well.
[08:21] (Flashback) Kuroda
    I failed to make the cut.
[08:23] (Flashback) Kuroda
    I'm not trying to be obsequious.
[08:26] (Flashback) Kuroda
    I respect you.
[08:28] (Flashback) Kuroda
    You, someone serious and hardworking,
    have something I don't.
[08:33] (Flashback) Kuroda
    It's impressive.
[08:35] (Flashback) Kuroda
    A climber's pride?
[08:38] (Flashback) Kuroda
    I don't have that anymore.
[08:42] (Flashback) Kuroda
    If you want me to be a sprinter, I'll be one.
[08:44] (Flashback) Kuroda
    If you want me to carry
    your water bottles, I will.
[08:46] (Flashback) Kuroda
    And I won't cut corners.
    I'll work hard at it.
[08:49] (Flashback) Kuroda
    If you have a job for me,
    let me do it, Touichirou.
[08:52] (Flashback) Kuroda
    I want to race in the Inter-High.
[08:55] (Flashback) Kuroda
    I'll do it.
[08:56] (Flashback) Kuroda
    After all, I have a lot of potential.
[09:00] (Flashback) Izumida
    Yuki...
[09:03] (Flashback) Izumida
    Assist the ace.
[09:06] Fan F
    Kuroda's been pulling for Ashikiba
    since this season started.
[09:10] Fan F
    They're eight for eight in
    the races they've been in.
[09:13] Fan G
    They won all of them?
[09:14] Fan F
    He always sends Ashikiba
    off with perfect timing.
[09:18] Fan F
    He calculates and watches
    his opponents closely.
[09:20] Fan F
    He's smart.
[09:22] Fan F
    He's the perfect ace assistant.
[09:25] Kuroda
    Touichirou...
[09:27] Kuroda
    I'll make you say you were right
    to make me the ace assist.
[09:32] Kuroda
    Let's go, Takuto!
[09:34] Ashikiba
    Yeah!
[09:38] Izumida
    Abs, Yuki!
[09:40] Izumida
    I'm counting you, Yuki.
[09:42] Izumida
    Pulse!
[09:45] Izumida
    You're having a slow start, Sohoku.
[09:47] Izumida
    Although, no matter how strong
    Imaizumi-kun is, he can't win alone.
[09:53] Imaizumi
    You're right.
[09:55] Imaizumi
    That's why we've taken the time to prepare
    our fastest man for the finish line!
[10:02] Izumida
    Naruko-kun?
[10:03] Kaburagi
    What?
[10:05] Aoyagi
    Don't act so surprised, you idiot!
[10:07] Kaburagi
    It's not me?
[10:08] Aoyagi
    Idiot!
[10:09] Izumida
    Naruko-kun?
[10:11] Izumida
    So that's why they didn't send him back then.
[10:15] Doubashi
    Izumida-san, isn't he a sprinter?
[10:18] Izumida
    No. For some reason, he must've
    changed into an all-rounder.
[10:24] Naruko
    Yeah, there was a teensy reason why.
[10:27] Naruko
    It's finally my turn at bat.
[10:30] Naruko
    I've been waiting a long time for this.
[10:33] Naruko
    I was really patient.
[10:35] Naruko
    But now I can let it all out!
[10:38] Naruko
    Here we go!
[10:39] Imaizumi
    Let's go, Naruko!
[10:41] Naruko
    Don't order me around, hotshot!
[10:44] Both
    He's fast!
[10:45] Aoyagi
    Hey!
[10:45] Naruko
    You just watch, Hakone Academy.
[10:48] Naruko
    Once we make it through the
    tunnel and enter the downhill,
[10:50] Naruko
    we'll catch up in the blink of an eye!
[10:53] Naruko
    My heart is pounding!
[10:54] Naruko
    My blood is seething!
[10:56] Naruko
    I've been saving my power
    since the Inter-High started.
[11:00] Naruko
    Aside from pulling the team for a while,
     I've been saving my power.
[11:05] Naruko
    I had no idea saving your
    energy could be so hard.
[11:09] Naruko
    Let's go, Hakone Academy!
[11:11] Naruko
    Naruko the Movie 2: Second-Year starts now!
[11:26] Fan D
    Sohoku's coming!
[11:27] Fan E
    But they're behind Hakone Academy
    by three—no, four seconds!
[11:32] Fan D
    It's hard to tell how far ahead
    someone is inside the tunnel.
[11:36] Fan E
    Is that why Kuroda attacked at the tunnel?
[11:40] Fan D
    Sohoku won't be able to catch up!
[11:43] Naruko
    You idiots! How could we not catch up?
[11:46] Both
    Huh?
[11:47] Naruko
    This scenario...
[11:49] Naruko
    is delicious!
[11:53] Naruko
    Naruko's Ultimate Super Fluttering Downhill!
[11:57] Fan D
    He's fast!
[11:58] Fan E
    How is he so fast?
[12:00] Fan D
    Was he just talking to us?
[12:02] Naruko
    Try to keep up, hotshot.
[12:04] Imaizumi
    Who do you think I am?
[12:06] Naruko
    You.
[12:07] Imaizumi
    Why is it "fluttering," anyway?
[12:10] Naruko
    I still have two more levels of speed!
[12:19] Imaizumi
    Fine by me.
[12:20] Imaizumi
    Let me see you go faster
    if you really can, Naruko!
[12:25] Naruko
    Try not to crap yourself from the speed!
[12:31] Fan K
    They're so close!
[12:32] Fan L
    He just hit the guardrail!
[12:34] Fan K
    He's hitting the guardrail,
     but he's still going!
[12:36] Fan L
    Sohoku's #3 is unbelievable!
[12:39] Imaizumi
    His shoulder's hitting the guardrail
    as he rides right along the inside.
[12:43] Imaizumi
    No, it's only his jersey
    that's hitting the guardrail.
[12:47] Imaizumi
    His downhill has gotten
    faster and more precise.
[12:53] Imaizumi
    He's calculating the limit of his
    turns using the sleeve of his jersey.
[13:00] Imaizumi
    By fluttering, did you mean...?
[13:03] Imaizumi
    Your "Super Fluttering Downhill"
     is ridiculous.
[13:07] Naruko
    Hotshot...
[13:09] Imaizumi
    What?
[13:09] Naruko
    I wish I could tell you not to follow me.
[13:12] Imaizumi
    So do I.
[13:13] Naruko
    I should be taking this jersey
    across the finish line first.
[13:17] Imaizumi
    Sure.
[13:19] Naruko
    But why don't we call a cease fire?
[13:21] Naruko
    If you've got something up your sleeve,
     let me know what's coming.
[13:25] Imaizumi
    Even if I did, I wouldn't tell you.
[13:30] Naruko
    I knew it.
[13:31] Naruko
    I'd never tell you, either.
[13:33] Fan M
    Sohoku caught up to Hakone Academy!
[13:36] Fan N
    They're fast!
[13:37] Fan O
    It's Sohoku's #2 and #3!
[13:39] Both
    We're here, Hakone Academy!
[13:41] Naruko
    Huh? Don't copy me, hotshot!
[13:43] Imaizumi
    You're the one who copied me!
[13:45] Naruko
    I said it 0.1 seconds faster.
[13:47] Imaizumi
    I said it 0.01 seconds faster.
[13:49] Naruko
    I was 0.001 seconds faster!
[13:51] Ashikiba
    They're arguing?
[13:51] Imaizumi
    I was 0.0001 seconds faster!
[13:53] Kuroda
    Sohoku...
[13:55] Kuroda
    I'm impressed you caught up on this downhill.
[13:57] Kuroda
    You did well.
[13:59] Kuroda
    You were on last year's
    Inter-High championship team.
[14:02] Kuroda
    Naruko Shoukichi and Imaizumi Shunsuke.
[14:05] Imaizumi
    Yes.
[14:06] Naruko
    So you know who we are.
[14:08] Naruko
    Since I'm on the team,
    of course we caught up,
[14:11] Naruko
    Hakone Academy rider!
[14:13] Kuroda
    Kuroda. I'm third-year Kuroda Yukinari.
[14:16] Kuroda
    Until last year, I was a climber.
[14:19] Kuroda
    But this year I'm pulling the ace.
[14:21] Kuroda
    I wear the number 12.
[14:24] Kuroda
    With "2," the number of
     Hakone Academy's ace assistant.
[14:29] Kuroda
    I'll guide my ace through the
    tiniest of cracks to get ahead.
[14:32] Kuroda
    Quickly and accurately.
[14:35] Kuroda
    They call me...
[14:36] Kuroda
    Black Cat!
[14:38] Naruko
    You're a delivery service?
[14:43] Kuroda
    Yeah, that's right.
[14:45] Kuroda
    No matter how bad the conditions are,
     I always deliver my ace to the finish line.
[14:52] Kuroda
    I'm Hakone's fastest deliveryman!
[14:55] Imaizumi
    They're making their move!
[14:57] Naruko
    I know!
[15:01] Imaizumi
    The downhill ends ahead.
[15:03] Imaizumi
    Past the bottom, there's a bridge
    crossing a river and a large left turn.
[15:08] Imaizumi
    Kuroda-san wants to race us there.
[15:11] Kuroda
    It won't even be a race!
[15:14] Imaizumi
    He's fast!
[15:15] Naruko
    Seriously?
[15:17] Fan P
    Hakone Academy pulled ahead!
[15:19] Fan Q
    What was that razor-like cornering?
[15:22] Fan P
    That got them over two seconds ahead!
[15:24] Fan Q
    Hakone Academy is fast!
[15:28] Kuroda
    There's a rumor going around.
[15:30] Kuroda
    Hakone's Black Cat deliveryman
    doesn't obey the speed limit.
[15:36] Fan R
    Hakone Academy's here!
[15:38] Fan S
    They're nearly there.
[15:39] Fan S
    Once they pass through the giant
    Futaransan Shrine gate and turn right,
[15:44] Fan S
    the racers will be able to see the source
[15:46] Fan S
    of the 97-meter column of water
    that is Nikko's Kegon Falls...
[15:52] Fan S
    Lake Chuzenji!
[15:54] Kuroda
    We pulled ahead on the corner.
[15:58] Kuroda
    The rest of the race is a single road
    running along the north side of the lake.
[16:03] Kuroda
    The road follows the ups
    and downs of the terrain.
[16:05] Kuroda
    That's my specialty.
[16:07] Fan T
    Hakone Academy's Kuroda is amazing.
[16:11] Fan T
    He let me touch his leg muscles
    when I went to watch a race once.
[16:17] Fan U
    Were they rock hard?
[16:19] Fan T
    Well, actually...
[16:21] Fan T
    They were squishy.
[16:23] Fan T
    His muscles are soft, like mochi.
[16:26] Fan U
    What?
[16:27] Kuroda
    My legs are special.
[16:30] Kuroda
    Flexible legs that rotate well are
    best for long, variable stages.
[16:38] Kuroda
    Legs trained under heavy
    strain over long distances
[16:41] Kuroda
    shed excess muscle and develop elasticity.
[16:46] Kuroda
    And my legs are particularly flexible.
[16:50] Kuroda
    Every road racer who touches
    my legs says the same things.
[16:53] Kuroda
    "They're thinner than I thought."
[16:55] Kuroda
    "They're surprisingly soft."
[16:57] Kuroda
    "They're round."
[16:58] Kuroda
    "Can you really go fast with these?"
[17:01] Kuroda
    But those are all just preconceptions.
[17:04] Kuroda
    Hard muscles being stronger
    is a preconceived notion.
[17:08] Kuroda
    You don't need muscles of steel to
    turn the crank and move forward.
[17:14] Kuroda
    Strength comes from having the
    flexibility of a leather whip.
[17:19] Kuroda
    My "Cat Legs" bend freely.
[17:21] Kuroda
    They're top-notch. They're fast.
[17:23] Kuroda
    I'm heading to the finish line...
[17:27] Kuroda
    at full speed!
[17:28] Fan Q
    Hakone Academy's accelerating again!
[17:30] Fan R
    They're trying to leave Sohoku behind!
[17:35] Kuroda
    Take your time, Sohoku.
[17:37] Kuroda
    It's a great day for a picnic.
[17:39] Ashikiba
    Yuki-chan, I see him.
[17:41] Kuroda
    Huh?
[17:43] Kuroda
    There you are.
[17:45] Kuroda
    It might be fate that we're meeting here,
     so we can talk for a moment.
[17:57] Manami
    Kuroda-san!
[17:58] Kuroda
    Manami!

[18:10] Kuroda
    I don't resent you anymore.
[18:12] Kuroda
    It was more than a year ago.
[18:15] Kuroda
    I'm at the Inter-High.
[18:17] Kuroda
    From the bottom of my heart...
[18:21] Kuroda
    Good job, Manami!
[18:23] Fan S
    Hakone's Kuroda is moving to the front!
[18:26] Ashikiba
    We were watching your final moments.
[18:28] Manami
    Thanks.
[18:31] Kuroda
    Huh?
[18:31] Kuroda
    You weren't watching!
[18:34] Kuroda
    You were in the back!
[18:36] Ashikiba
    I was just trying to say something
    appropriate for a senior.
[18:39] Kuroda
    Don't lie about it.
[18:41] Kuroda
    Since you're so tall, it almost sounded true.
[18:43] Ashikiba
    Not even I could see over the team.
[18:45] Kuroda
    Knock off the "ha ha ha"!
[18:47] Ashikiba
    What?
[18:58] Sakamichi
    Keep going, Naruko-kun!
[19:00] Sakamichi
    I'll take Teshima-san to the finish line!
[19:02] Naruko
    I was already planning on it.
[19:04] Naruko
    Anyway, you made it, Onoda-kun.
[19:08] Sakamichi
    Yeah.
[19:09] Naruko
    Good job!
[19:11] Imaizumi
    Teshima-san!
[19:18] Teshima
    Hey, Ima...
[19:21] Both
    Good work!
[19:27] Imaizumi
    Teshima-san was exhausted.
[19:30] Naruko
    Yeah.
[19:31] Naruko
    Exhausted like a man
    who's fought really hard.
[19:34] Imaizumi
    Naruko, I thought we were going to catch up.
[19:38] Imaizumi
    Hakone Academy's pulling away.
[19:41] Imaizumi
    What are you doing?
[19:42] Naruko
    Shut up, idiot!
[19:43] Naruko
    It's more exciting if it's close!
     I'm doing it on purpose!
[19:46] Naruko
    I let my guard down a bit on the last turn.
[19:49] Naruko
    I was 0.5 seconds slow to react.
[19:51] Imaizumi
    Yeah, because you were talking.
[19:53] Naruko
    You were talking, too.
[19:56] Naruko
    You just watch, hotshot.
[19:58] Naruko
    Naruko the Movie is nothing if not flashy.
[20:01] Naruko
    How could I not be fired up after
     the way Teshima-san showed off?
[20:05] Naruko
    You don't need to pay admission, Teshima-san.
[20:08] Naruko
    I'll have my own fun.
[20:10] Naruko
    You just watch from your box seat!
[20:19] Naruko
    Wait up, Hakone Academy!
[20:23] Kuroda
    They caught up?
[20:25] Kuroda
    Now, just as we've moved to the front?
[20:27] Kuroda
    But he doesn't stand a chance
    against my Cat Leg muscles.
[20:34] Kuroda
    Let's see who this year's
    champions are, Sohoku.

[00:02] Kuroda
    You made it. I'm impressed.
[00:05] Kuroda
    No wonder you two brought so much
    excitement to last year's Inter-High.
[00:08] Both
    No way.
[00:09] Imaizumi
    I caused way more excitement
    than him, honestly.
[00:09] Naruko
    I caused way more excitement
    than him, definitely.
[00:14] Imaizumi
    Could you not group us together?
[00:16] Naruko
    Don't put me in the same category as him.
[00:18] Kuroda
    That's not my problem!
[00:20] Kuroda
    And why wouldn't I group you together?
[00:21] Ashikiba
    Yuki-chan's always so quick to snap back.
[00:24] Naruko
    I really stood out and was super

[00:28] Imaizumi
    You idiot, I enjoyed way
    more quiet popularity.
[00:31] Naruko
    Your fans scream all the time.
[00:33] Imaizumi
    Your fans are all guys.
[00:36] Naruko
    Th-That's got nothing to do with this, moron!
[00:38] Kuroda
    Did you come all the way here to brag
    about yourselves to each other?
[00:42] Kuroda
    You seem awfully composed.
[00:43] Kuroda
    Is this a strategy? Or a falling out?
[00:46] Kuroda
    No, it doesn't matter.

[03:49] Naruko
    It's no use.
[03:50] (Flashback) Naruko
    The Armstrong Climb that
    converts my arm strength
[03:52] (Flashback) Naruko
    into forward propulsion
    is approaching its limits.
[03:55] (Flashback) Naruko
    My time won't improve.
[04:04] (Flashback) Naruko
    It lacks impact.
[04:06] (Flashback) Naruko
    Isn't there anything else
     I can use to power up further?
[04:10] (Flashback) Naruko
    I'm using my arms,
    and naturally, I'm using my legs.
[04:14] (Flashback) Naruko
    If I'm going to do something,
    I want something flashy.
[04:17] (Flashback) Naruko
    Something unthinkable that
    will really surprise people.
[04:27] (Flashback) Naruko
    Come to think of it,
[04:29] (Flashback) Naruko
    my master said not to box myself in
     when trying to change something.
[04:35] (Flashback) Naruko
    To question common sense.
[04:37] Naruko
    "Naturally, I'm using my legs."
[04:40] Naruko
    Naturally?
[04:41] Naruko
    Wait.
[04:42] Naruko
    I think I'm using them, but maybe there's
    some part I'm still not utilizing.
[04:51] (Flashback) Naruko
    Oh, crap! I think I've found it!
[04:55] (Flashback) Naruko
    I really am...
[04:56] (Flashback) Naruko
    a genius!
[05:00] Naruko
    Version Two uses the tips of my toes!
[05:03] Naruko
    They may only be toes, but those
    toes will challenge common sense!
[05:10] Naruko
    When turning the crank on a bike and turning
    that force into forward propulsion,
SIGN    Forward Thrust
[05:14] Naruko
    the effective area is
    the first quadrant only.
[05:17] Naruko
    The rest is converted
    into downward propulsion,
SIGN    Downward Thrust
[05:19] Naruko
    so it's inefficient to put
    too much strength into it.
[05:22] Naruko
    The first part of your body to reach that
    precious zone is the tips of your toes.
[05:27] Naruko
    So I strengthened my toes.
[05:30] Naruko
    That's how I amplified my power!
[05:32] Naruko
    So I could turn my pedals even harder!
[05:36] Naruko
    I raise my toes which would normally
    be pointed down and push!
[05:40] Naruko
    I turn all that power into forward
    propulsion without losing any of it!
[05:43] Naruko
    Thanks for challenging us on the climb.
[05:47] Naruko
    You wouldn't want to miss Armstrong Climb,
     Version Two: Tip-Toe Advance!
[05:54] Kuroda
    This guy...
[05:55] Fan G
    Sohoku's Naruko caught up!
[05:58] Fan H
    On the climb!
[05:59] Fan I
    Seriously? He's so fast!
[06:03] Fan G
    That's it, Naruko!
[06:04] Fan H
    You're so flashy!
[06:06] Naruko
    What do you think?
[06:07] Naruko
    I've also got something called
    the Flashy Smug Climb, too.
[06:10] Naruko
    Should we try it out?
[06:12] Kuroda
    Let's not.
[06:14] Kuroda
    I get it now.
[06:17] Kuroda
    I see.
[06:18] Kuroda
    So they weren't having a falling out.
[06:21] Kuroda
    I'll have to flip my switch to finish this.
[06:26] Kuroda
    To destroy their teamwork.
[06:29] Kuroda
    I have one last question.
[06:32] Kuroda
    Sohoku, which of you two is the ace?
[06:38] Ashikiba
    Yuki-chan, isn't it obvious?
     The guy behind—
[06:43] Naruko
    Curious, are you?
[06:44] Imaizumi
    Isn't it obvious?
[06:45] Naruko
    I wish I could say it's our secret strategy,
    but I'll do you a favor and tell you.
[06:50] Naruko
    The ace is...
[06:52] Both
    ...me!
[06:55] Naruko
    What? Hotshot, what are you talking about?
[06:58] Imaizumi
    What—Naruko! Are you serious?
[07:00] Naruko
    Of course.
[07:01] Naruko
    I, the Red Bullet and genius
    Naruko Shoukichi, am Sohoku's ace.
[07:05] Imaizumi
    Calm down, Naruko. I'm the ace.
[07:08] Imaizumi
    Teshima-san said the same thing.
[07:11] Naruko
    He was just saying that so you
    wouldn't strain yourself. Probably.
[07:15] Imaizumi
    No! I'm the ace!
[07:17] Naruko
    Have you forgotten?
[07:18] Naruko
    I'm the one who won the training camp!
[07:20] Naruko
    I'm clearly better than you!
[07:23] Imaizumi
    It was... close.
[07:24] Naruko
    Close, but I won!
[07:26] Kuroda
    That's it.
[07:27] Kuroda
    These two are a hastily thrown together team.
[07:31] Imaizumi
    Wait! I thought you were pulling
    so I could save my strength!
[07:36] Imaizumi
    Normally the man in front is the assistant!
[07:38] Naruko
    You idiot!
[07:39] Naruko
    I'm just doing it to stand out!
[07:41] Naruko
    You'll pull for me before the finish line!
[07:43] Imaizumi
    What?
[07:43] Naruko
    What's your deal, anyway?
[07:45] Naruko
    When I charged ahead...
[07:47] (Flashback) Imaizumi
    That's why we've prepared our fastest man!
[07:50] Naruko
    Isn't that what you said?
[07:52] Naruko
    You didn't prepare me for anything!
[07:54] Imaizumi
    I did!
[07:55] Imaizumi
    I was thinking about the team's strength!
[07:59] Imaizumi
    I did that so you could be the assistant!
[08:02] Naruko
    Why do I have to assist you?
[08:05] Imaizumi
    In any case, calm down.
[08:06] Imaizumi
    I'm the ace.
[08:08] Naruko
    No, me!
[08:09] Imaizumi
    I'm the one who told you to
     switch from sprinter to all-rounder!
[08:12] Naruko
    I made the decision!
[08:16] Kuroda
    There are always aces and assistants
    who hastily team up during a race.
[08:22] Kuroda
    And they almost always break apart.
[08:28] Naruko
    Wait up, idiot!
[08:30] Imaizumi
    Wait, Hakone Academy!
[08:31] Naruko
    Don't run!
[08:32] Imaizumi
    Where do you think you're going?
[08:34] Kuroda
    They reacted. Both of them, together.
[08:37] Naruko
    Let's race, hotshot.
[08:39] Imaizumi
    What?
[08:40] Naruko
    We'll pull ahead of
    Hakone Academy before the finish line.
[08:43] Imaizumi
    I see.
[08:44] Naruko
    Whoever crosses the
    finish line first is the ace!
[08:47] Kuroda
    What? Are they...
[08:49] Imaizumi
    Bring it on!
[08:52] Ashikiba
    Yuki-chan!
[08:53] Kuroda
    I know!
[08:55] Kuroda
    Let's go, Ashikiba! We're accelerating!
[08:57] Ashikiba
    Yeah!
[08:58] Kuroda
    They're ignoring us so
    the two of them can race?
[09:02] Kuroda
    Don't underestimate us, Sohoku!
[09:06] Imaizumi
    Teshima-san is on my side.
[09:09] Imaizumi
    He thinks of me as the ace.
[09:11] Naruko
    You idiot.
[09:11] Naruko
    Every era's always looking for a new star.
[09:14] Kuroda
    They're actually arguing with each other!
[09:17] Imaizumi
    Keep your voice down, Naruko.
[09:19] Imaizumi
    Our opponents will realize we've
    never worked together before.
[09:22] Naruko
    What?
[09:23] Naruko
    Okay, then let's pretend we're friends.
[09:26] Imaizumi
    I can't do that.
[09:27] Naruko
    Hey!
[09:28] Kuroda
    Teamwork is what's important
    before the finish line.
[09:32] Kuroda
    It's easy to break apart opponents who lack that.
[09:36] Kuroda
    Ashikiba!
[09:38] Ashikiba
    Yeah!
[09:42] Naruko
    He's huge!
[09:43] Imaizumi
    It's Hakone Academy's Ashikiba!
[09:44] Imaizumi
    Is their ace making his move?
[09:48] Imaizumi
    No!
[09:49] Naruko
    It's him!
[09:50] Naruko
    He distracted us with the big guy,
    disappeared to the other side,
[09:53] Naruko
    and pulled ahead!
[09:56] Naruko
    Crap! He's getting ahead, too!
[09:59] Naruko
    They took the lead in a second!
[10:01] Kuroda
    Things are back to normal now, Sohoku.
[10:04] Naruko
    Seriously?
[10:05] Kuroda
    That move is made possible by Ashikiba's
    fake-out and my explosive power.
[10:10] Kuroda
    Ashikiba's big. Everyone's
    eyes are drawn to him.
[10:14] Kuroda
    It's a combo only we can pull off.
[10:17] Kuroda
    Since this spring,
     we've been eight for eight.
[10:19] Kuroda
    We've achieved more!
[10:22] Imaizumi
    How could you let them pass you, Naruko?
[10:23] Imaizumi
    Don't underestimate them.
[10:24] Naruko
    Well, you were just watching.
[10:27] Imaizumi
    You were!
[10:28] Naruko
    No, you!
[10:29] Kuroda
    It's easy to break apart a
    hastily thrown together team.
[10:32] Kuroda
    Just force them into a corner.
[10:34] Kuroda
    Then they'll blame each
    other for their mistakes.
[10:38] Kuroda
    Looks like I won't have to flip my switch.
[10:41] Kuroda
    You can race for third
     to decide who's the ace!
[10:43] Kuroda
    Your nonsense won't get you anywhere!
[10:46] Naruko
    They're getting ahead again.
[10:48] Imaizumi
    Kuroda-san's explosive power is exceptional.
[10:56] Teshima
    Who... will take it?
[10:59] Sakamichi
    You mean take the lead?
[11:01] Sakamichi
    It's either us or Hakone Academy, right?
[11:03] Sakamichi
    I'm sure we'll do it.
[11:06] Teshima
    No, Naruko or Imaizumi...
[11:09] Teshima
    Which of them will take the race.
[11:10] Sakamichi
    Huh?
[11:12] Teshima
    I told them to decide between
    themselves who the ace is.
[11:18] Sakamichi
    What?
[11:19] Sakamichi
    Huh? What?
[11:20] Teshima
    Do you think that was an
    irresponsible order, Onoda?
[11:23] Sakamichi
    Huh?
[11:25] Teshima
    But last year, that's how you
    dragged Sohoku into first place.
[11:37] Teshima
    I believe in their strength.
[11:41] Teshima
    They don't get along. They're always arguing.
    They never cooperate.
[11:46] Teshima
    But...
[11:48] Sakamichi
    Yes.
[11:49] Teshima
    They know better than anyone
    what they have to do.
[11:55] Imaizumi
    Hurry up and pull, Naruko!
[11:56] Imaizumi
    Hakone Academy's getting away!
[11:58] Naruko
    Shut up, idiot!
[11:59] Naruko
    I'm just taking my time since
    I've got some baggage to carry.
[12:02] Imaizumi
    What? What baggage?
[12:04] Naruko
    You pulled like crazy through the mountains.
[12:09] Naruko
    Even for you, hotshot,
     you pushed yourself too hard.
[12:11] Imaizumi
    Don't mention it.
[12:12] Naruko
    I said I'd switch with you,
    but you told me to fall back.
[12:16] Naruko
    Man, I hate when people show off.
[12:20] Naruko
    So now I'm pulling for you.
[12:22] Naruko
    And while I'm being considerate by pulling
    for you, you're reacting poorly!
[12:27] Naruko
    When I broke out my special Tip-Toe Advance,
     you just sat there and stared.
[12:31] Naruko
    Don't you have anything to say?
     Like, "Wow," or, "Amazing?"
[12:39] Naruko
    "This is what you've been hiding?"
[12:41] Naruko
    "Seriously? This is so amazing,
     I pooped my pants!"
[12:44] Naruko
    Surely you can react better than that.
[12:46] Imaizumi
    Oh, that?
[12:49] Imaizumi
    I thought it was only natural,
    so I wasn't surprised.
[12:53] Naruko
    Huh?
[12:55] Imaizumi
    I knew you'd have something special
    prepared for the Inter-High.
[13:05] Naruko
    You're not so dumb, hotshot!
[13:10] Naruko
    Fine, let's chase them.
[13:12] Naruko
    I don't like that we're doing it together,
    but there's only ever one thing to do.
[13:17] Imaizumi
    Yeah.
[13:18] Naruko
    Deliver this jersey to the finish line first.
[13:21] Imaizumi
    Of course.
[13:22] Naruko
    We'll catch up to
     Hakone Academy and pass them!
[13:25] Imaizumi
    You don't need to say it!
[13:29] Teshima
    If we can draw out everything they have—
    no, we have to to beat the champions.
[13:36] Teshima
    And this Inter-High has been
    disrupting expectations.
[13:39] Teshima
    There may be more than one
    opponent at the finish line.

[13:48] Fan J
    What is that?
[13:49] Fan K
    They're carrying water bottles!
[13:51] Koga
    Excuse us!
[13:52] Sugimoto
    Coming through!
[13:53] Koga
    Hurry, Sugimoto!
[13:54] Koga
    They're almost here!
[13:55] Sugimoto
    Yes, sir!
[14:00] Koga
    We made it.
[14:02] Koga
    Imaizumi!
[14:03] Sugimoto
    Naruko!
[14:04] Both
    We'll just take the water!
[14:10] Koga
    Imaizumi, Naruko!
[14:12] Sugimoto
    Go, Sohoku!
[14:12] Koga
    You can do it!
[14:13] Sugimoto
    Imaizumi!
[14:16] Imaizumi
    You don't need to shout so loud, Sugimoto.
[14:19] Imaizumi
    I can hear you. Don't worry.
[14:24] Imaizumi
    The finish line...
[14:25] Naruko
    ...will be...
[14:26] Both
    ...mine!
[14:32] Sugimoto
    Imaizumi...
[14:34] Sugimoto
    The finish line is less
    than ten kilometers away.
[14:37] Sugimoto
    It's right there.
[14:39] Sugimoto
    If my feelings can help you in any way,
     then I'll pray as hard as I can.
[14:44] Sugimoto
    Take it. I'm counting on you, Imaizumi.
[14:47] Koga
    Let's head back to the tent, Sugimoto.
[14:51] Sugimoto
    Yes, Koga-san.
[14:53] Koga
    The rest should be coming soon.
[14:55] Koga
    Kaburagi and the others will have met up
    with Onoda and Teshima by now.
[14:59] Koga
    It'll be hard for the two of us to
    hand out supplies for four riders.
[15:02] Sugimoto
    I see. You're right.
[15:05] Suigmoto
    But I'm glad we made it
    to the feed zone in time.
[15:09] Koga
    Yeah.
[15:10] Sugimoto
    We carried everyone's supplies
    here on the spare bikes.
[15:14] Sugimoto
    It was hard, but...
[15:18] Sugimoto
    I know it wasn't the official course,
    but I'm glad to have ridden at the Inter-High.
[15:24] Sugimoto
    I rode as hard as I could.
[15:25] Sugimoto
    All I could think about was getting
    here in time, but now I'm numb.
[15:31] Sugimoto
    It's exciting, isn't it?
[15:33] Sugimoto
    Next year, I'll work harder
    so I can be in the Inter-High—
[15:38] Sugimoto
    Koga-san is a third-year.
[15:40] Sugimoto
    This is his last Inter-High.
[15:44] Sugimoto
    I'm sorry.
[15:45] Koga
    Don't worry about it, Sugimoto.
[15:47] Koga
    Will you be in next year's Inter-High?
[15:50] Koga
    Then you'll have to practice hard.
[15:53] Koga
    Remember how the Inter-High feels.
[15:57] Koga
    But we have work to do first.
[16:00] Koga
    Let's hand out supplies to—
[16:03] Sugimoto
    What? Support staff are on the course?
[16:06] Sugimoto
    Huh? Kyoto?
[16:07] Sugimoto
    But why?
[16:09] Koga
    Did they get them mixed up
     with Hakone Academy?
[16:11] Koga
    You were in the same position as Sohoku.
[16:15] Hakone
    You didn't hear the correction on the radio?
[16:19] Hakone
    They shook off the others.
[16:22] Hakone
    I hate to think we were outmatched.
[16:25] Hakone
    And even if they've gone, there's no
    guarantee they'll make it to the front.
[16:28] Hakone
    But it's true that they're pursuing them.
[16:31] Hakone
    I trust our riders...
[16:33] Hakone
    But they say Kyoto's Midousuji
    was tricky last year, too.
[16:38] Sugimoto
    B-By himself?
[16:40] Hakone
    This year there's two of
    them chasing the leaders!
[16:45] Hakone
    Kyoto Fushimi #111, the ace, Midousuji Akira!
[16:50] Hakone
    And #116, first-year Kishigami Komari!
[16:53] Koga
    Him!
[16:59] Koga
    Their roster said he was a sub.
[17:01] Koga
    Rumor was he was a masseuse.
[17:04] Koga
    He races?
[17:09] Komari
    You're really not riding in the Inter-High.
[17:12] Komari
    But you had such fine muscles!
[17:17] Kyoto A
    Go, Fushimi!
[17:19] Kyoto B
    Pedal, Kishigami!
[17:21] Koga
    What was that?
[17:23] Koga
    Those weren't the eyes of
    a man aiming for victory.
[17:26] Koga
    No, they didn't go for the
    sprint or mountains, either.
[17:29] Koga
    Has Kyoto Fushimi set their sights
    on only the finish line again?
[17:34] Koga
    Be careful, Imaizumi and Naruko.
[17:36] Koga
    They intend to catch up.
[17:39] (Flashback) Midousuji
    Would you like to move up, Komari-kun?
[17:41] (Flashback) Komari
    Yes, of course.
[17:43] (Flashback) Komari
    I'll pull. I want to reach the
    front as soon as possible.
[17:46] (Flashback) Komari
    There are so many fine muscles
    at the front, right?
[17:51] (Flashback) Komari
    Oh, the muscles. The muscles...
[17:56] Midousuji
    Komari-kun, you really
    are a man of no patience.
[18:07] Izumida
    It took only a moment.
[18:09] Izumida
    They were waiting for the momentary loss
    of focus when we prepared to resupply.
[18:17] Izumida
    I was cautious.
[18:19] Izumida
    I knew Kyoto would go for the
    finish line again this year.
[18:23] Izumida
    I knew they'd make their
    move before the feed zone.
[18:26] Izumida
    But...
[18:28] (Flashback) Izumida
    They passed us! Doubashi!
[18:30] (Flashback) Aoyagi
    Kaburagi, go!
[18:32] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    They passed right between us!
[18:35] (Flashback) Both
    Stop Kyoto!
[18:43] (Flashback) Midousuji
    See?
[18:46] (Flashback) Midousuji
    Because you wasted all your
    energy on a stupid sprint,
[18:50] (Flashback) Midousuji
    you got caught during a crucial moment!
[18:55] (Flashback) Kaburagi
    Damn!
[18:57] (Flashback) Kaburagi
    Damn!
[19:01] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    They're going for the finish line.
[19:06] Sakamichi
    Be careful, Imaizumi-kun and Naruko-kun.
[19:10] Naruko
    We're starting to catch up to Hakone Academy!
[19:14] Naruko
    It's only 4,500 meters to the finish line!
[19:20] Naruko
    Final stop coming up.
[19:22] Naruko
    The Naruko Super Express is heading
    straight to the finish line.
[19:25] Imaizumi
    Good. I'm taking this train.
[19:27] Naruko
    You can't ride for free, idiot.
[19:29] Naruko
    It'll cost you ten billion yen.
[19:31] Iamziumi
    That's cheap. Do you accept cash?
[19:33] Naruko
    Ugh, gross. That's what rich people say.
[19:36] Imaizumi
    I was joking.
[19:37] Naruko
    You're such a hotshot,
     I didn't think you were joking!
[19:40] Naruko
    I bet you don't have any friends!
[19:42] Imaizumi
    There's Onoda, and...
[19:44] Naruko
    You really don't have any friends!
[19:46] Naruko
    Want me to be your friend?
[19:48] Naruko
    A special, just for you.
[19:49] Imaizumi
    No, I'm good.
[19:50] Imaizumi
    I call anyone whose house
    I've been to a friend.
[19:53] Naruko
    Seriously? Those are kid rules!
[19:56] Imaizumi
    Call it whatever you want.
[19:57] Imaizumi
    Down to the smallest things,
    I determine my own standards!
[20:04] Naruko
    Hotshot.
[20:07] Fan L
    The ace Imaizumi moved ahead
    with 4000 meters remaining!
[20:10] Imaizumi
    We're accelerating!
[20:12] Imaizumi
    Try not to fall behind, Naruko!
[20:14] Naruko
    Who do you think you're talking to?
[20:17] Naruko
    I'm the genius all-rounder, Naruko Shoukichi!
[20:21] Kuroda

[20:23] Kuroda
    Imaizumi moved ahead and is accelerating?
[20:26] Kuroda
    Don't they know about

[20:28] Kuroda
    They're total amateurs!
[20:29] (Flashback) Both
    I'm the ace!

    they haven't chosen an ace?

    Fools. You're complete fools.

    And he caught up now?
[02:36] Kuroda
    Seriously?
[02:37] Ashikiba
    Whoa!
[02:38] Midousuji
    I found you!
[02:41] Imaizumi
    They've been coming after us?
[02:42] Imaizumi
    They passed Aoyagi-san,
    Kaburagi, and the others?
[02:45] Kuroda
    Kyoto Fushimi?
[02:47] Kuroda
    I heard they disrupted the race last year.
[02:49] Kuroda
    It must be all the pressure he's
    exerting that makes him look huge.
[02:54] Kuroda
    I can tell. He's calculated everything.
[02:58] Kuroda
    He is only thinking about winning.
[03:04] Kuroda
    Kyoto Fushimi's Midousuji...
[03:07] Kuroda
    You're exactly as Fukutomi-san
    described last year.
[03:11] (Flashback) Fukutomi
    Though we lost the overall race,
    this year's power rankings
[03:15] (Flashback) Fukutomi
    put Hakone Academy first,
    Sohoku next, and then the rest.
[03:20] (Flashback) Kuroda
    Yes, sir.
[03:21] (Flashback) Fukutomi
    But Kyoto Fushimi's Midousuji...
[03:24] (Flashback) Fukutomi
    This loss will push him to
    enter the Inter-High again.
[03:30] (Flashback) Fukutomi
    Kuroda, unless your resolve is strong
    by the time you become a third-year,
[03:36] (Flashback) Fukutomi
    Hakone Academy won't reclaim its throne.
[03:38] (Flashback) Kuroda
    Yes, sir.
[03:38] (Flashback) Fukutomi
    After all, there will be three!
[03:41] (Flashback) Fukutomi
    Hakone Academy, Sohoku, and Kyoto Fushimi!

    Three powerhouses...
[03:50] Midousuji
    What are you looking at, Hakone Academy?
[03:54] Midousuji
    Were you lost in thought
    in the middle of a race?
[03:59] Kuroda
    It took him a second to come up on my left.

    He's fast.

[04:21] Komari
    I'm sorry.
[04:22] Komari
    As a first-year, this is my first Inter-High.
[04:25] Komari
    I was so happy to see one of the rumored
    Hakone Academy riders that I stumbled.
[04:31] Kuroda
    So happy you stumbled?
[04:33] Komari
    Nice muscles.
[04:35] Komari
    So these are the rumored cat legs
     of Hakone Academy's Kuroda.
[04:38] Komari
    I couldn't help but touch them...
[04:41] Komari
    And make a sound, too.
[04:42] Komari
    There are so many wonderful muscles right
    before the finish line at the Inter-High!
[04:46] Imaizumi
    That's #116, Kishigami Komari.
[04:50] Imaizumi
    He did something similar to me
     before the race started.
[04:53] Imaizumi
    Is he trying to agitate us?

    What's his deal?
[04:57] Komari
    Muscles...
[04:59] Kuroda
    He was listed as a substitute.
[05:00] Kuroda
    So why is he here before the finish line?
[05:04] Imaizumi
    In any case, right now,
     I should focus on the finish line.
[05:07] Imaizumi
    Don't let them manipulate you.

    On this year's first day,
    after we pass Lake Chuzenji,

    the elevation rapidly rises toward the
    finish line in a winding uphill climb.

    Midousuji's gone!

[05:32] Kuroda
    And attack?
[05:35] Kuroda
    He's above us!
[05:36] Kuroda

    It was impressive enough that you were
    the only one not to take his eyes off me,

    but what really deserves recognition...
[07:35] Midousuji
    is that you kept up with
    my attack on the climb.
[07:39] Midousuji
    You were supposed to be a sprinter.
[07:42] Midousuji
    You even abandoned the deep
    wheels you were so proud of.

    sprinter to become an all-rounder!
[07:54] Midousuji
    Sorry. I can't remember, chicken-headed bean.

    I can see in your eyes
    that you do, Midousuji!
[08:02] Midousuji
    A sprinter...
[08:04] Midousuji
    I don't mind a man so
    willing to give that up.

    What is that?
[08:50] Fan G
    He leans so far forward when he dances!
[08:52] Fan F
    He's so fast!
[08:52] Fan F
    He's still accelerating!
[08:54] Midousuji
    You may have gotten faster on the climb,
    but you're still only a sprinter.
[08:59] Midousuji
    You can't catch up to me with
    just a little bit of effort.
[09:08] Midousuji
    Huh?
[09:11] Fan G
    Sohoku's Naruko is keeping up with
    Kyoto Fushimi's acceleration!
[09:15] Fan F
    Incredible! That red-headed guy's so fast,
     even though he's small!
[09:18] Naruko
    Don't think you can pull
    ahead of me on the climb!
[09:21] Naruko
    I told you so before we started, Midousuji!
[09:23] Midousuji
    I'm all about experiencing
    things to understand them.
[09:28] Midousuji
    Not bad, chicken-head.
[09:31] Midousuji
    Rather, Naruko-kun.
[09:34] Midousuji
    Shall we work together until
    the finish line, then?
[09:40] Midousuji
    Good idea, right?
[09:43] Midousuji
    You and I are the only ones nearing
    the finish line right now.
[09:47] Midousuji
    If we work together, we'll arrive
    at the finish line first.
[09:52] Midousuji
    Even you could take it first.
[09:55] Midousuji
    You'll be able to deliver your
    precious jersey to the finish line.
[09:59] Midousuji
    Oh, it's okay.
[10:01] Midousuji
    Don't worry. I'm talking
    about peaceful cooperation.
[10:05] Midousuji
    I just want to finish as highly ranked
    as possible today for tomorrow.
[10:09] Midousuji
    If you pedal really hard, then as a symbol
    of our friendship, I'll let you—
[10:17] Naruko
    You're bluffing.
[10:19] Naruko
    Those aren't the eyes of a
    man willing to give that up.
[10:23] Midousuji
    I'm bluffing!
[10:24] Naruko
    Don't use words like "friendship" that
    aren't part of your normal vocabulary!
[10:32] Naruko
    He shifted up.
[10:37] Naruko
    This guy...
[10:39] Naruko
    He's stronger than he was last winter!
[10:42] Naruko
    That massive pressure was real!
[10:45] Midousuji
    Oh, right.
[10:47] Midousuji
    Chicken-head, as a special treat,
    I'll show you something.
[10:53] Midousuji
    I still have something special up my sleeve.
[11:02] Makishima
    Where are we, Tadokorocchi?
[11:06] Tadokoro
    Kanzaki-san told me there's a traffic jam.
[11:10] Tadokoro
    This is a shortcut.
[11:11] Kinjou
    I know you're the
     Rampaging Human Bullet, but...
[11:16] Kinjou
    You have to have limits, Tadokoro!
[11:18] Tadokoro
    You can count on me.
[11:20] Tadokoro
    We'll make it in time to
    see the end of the race!
[11:26] Ashikiba
    Yuki-chan!
[11:26] Kuroda
    I know! He got past us!
[11:29] Imaizumi
    Did Naruko go after Midousuji?
[11:32] Kuroda
    We'll go after them at full speed, Ashikiba!
[11:34] Ashikiba
    Yeah!
[11:35] Kuroda
    There's no point if we can't catch up.
[11:38] Kuroda
    Hakone Academy has to be part
    of the race for the finish line!
[11:44] Kuroda
    Sohoku's Imaizumi!
[11:48] Kuroda
    Shall we work together?
[11:51] Kuroda
    Don't you want to stop Midousuji?
[11:54] Kuroda
    We'll cooperate until then.
[11:58] Imaizumi
    Cooperate with Hakone Academy?
[12:01] Imaizumi
    There are three kilometers to the finish line.
[12:03] Imaizumi
    Hakone Academy is an opposing
    team racing for the finish line.
[12:06] Imaizumi
    But Midousuji is in front of me.
[12:09] Imaizumi
    I'm in!
[12:10] Imaizumi
    I'll cooperate with you, Kuroda-san!
[12:12] Kuroda
    Good, but only if you can
    keep up with my top speed!
[12:17] Kuroda
    I'm flipping my switch!
[12:21] Kuroda
    Don't get left behind, Imaizumi!
[12:24] Imaizumi
    Got it!
[12:26] Fan A
    Sohoku and Hakone Academy
    are climbing together!
[12:28] Fan B
    Wow, they're cooperating!
[12:30] Fan B
    And Kuroda's a fast climber!
[12:33] Fan A
    Of course he is!
[12:33] Fan A
    He used to be one!
[12:36] Imaizumi
    Incredible...
[12:38] Imaizumi
    He's pulling me upward as we accelerate,
     even on this incline.
[12:41] Kuroda
    Don't underestimate me, Kyoto Fushimi!
[12:43] Kuroda
    I'll make you regret
    challenging me on a climb!
[12:49] Imaizumi
    This is different from how
    he was racing earlier.
[12:51] Imaizumi
    Did he do something?
[12:53] Imaizumi
    His pressure has increased.
[12:55] Imaizumi
    He said something about a switch earlier.
[12:58] Imaizumi
    Does this have something to do
    with him touching his temple?
[13:03] Ashikiba
    Yuki-chan...
[13:04] Ashikiba
    You flipped your switch.
[13:06] Ashikiba
    You're always so fast when you do.
[13:10] (Flashback) Kuorda
    Huh? What's my switch?
[13:13] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    You always get faster before
    the finish line when
[13:16] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    you say you're flipping your switch.
[13:19] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    I was wondering what kind of
    magical incantation it is.
[13:21] (Flashback) Kuroda
    What?
[13:21] (Flashback) Kuroda
    It's not an incantation.
[13:23] (Flashback) Kuroda
    What are you, a high school girl
     who believes in jinxes?
[13:26] (Flashback) Kuroda
    I have a scar right here.
[13:30] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    Really?
[13:32] (Flashback) Kuroda
    I guess you hadn't heard.
[13:34] (Flashback) Kuroda
    A long time ago, I once suffered
    an injury related to my pride.
[13:38] (Flashback) Kuroda
    When I turn on my switch, I'm scraping
    off the unhealed scab with my nail.
[13:46] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    That's what you've been doing, Yuki-chan?
[13:49] (Flashback) Kuroda
    It bleeds nicely when I do.
[13:51] (Flashback) Kuroda
    It clears my mind.
[13:53] (Flashback) Kuroda
    It revives the old me.
[13:56] (Flashback) Kuroda
    The man who couldn't stand
    not being best at everything.
[14:02] (Flashback) Kuroda
    And then...
[14:03] Kuroda
    It heightens my competitiveness, my focus.
[14:07] Kuroda
    My desire to consume my enemies shoots up.
[14:10] Kuroda
    Kyoto Fushimi!
[14:12] Ashikiba
    I can feel it, Yuki-chan.
[14:14] Ashikiba
    I feel it.
[14:17] Ashikiba
    It's heightened for me, too!
[14:20] Imaizumi
    Ashikiba-san increased his pressure, too?
[14:23] Imaizumi
    Does working together do that for this
    year's #1 and #2 from Hakone Academy?
[14:30] Imaizumi
    Was agreeing to cooperate
    with them a mistake?
SIGN    Kuroda
SIGN    Imaizumi
SIGN    Ashikiba
[14:33] Imaizumi
    I'm helping my opponents
    get to the finish line.
SIGN    Midousuji
SIGN    Naruko
[14:37] Imaizumi
    Sohoku has Naruko nearing the finish line.
[14:40] Imaizumi
    Should I have tried to stop
    Hakone Academy instead?
[14:44] Imaizumi
    No.
[14:46] Imaizumi
    They could reach the front
    without my cooperation.
[14:50] Imaizumi
    And if that happened, Sohoku would be alone.
[14:52] Imaizumi
    We'd be at an overwhelming disadvantage.
[14:54] Fan D
    Wow, Sohoku's pulling for Hakone Academy!
[14:57] Fan E
    Last year's rival teams are working
    together to pursue the leaders!
[15:01] Fan E
    Such passion!
[15:02] Fan D
    Take a picture!
[15:04] Kuroda
    Not bad, Imaizumi. You pull well.
[15:07] Kuroda
    It's smooth and efficient.
[15:09] Kuroda
    And you're smart. I know what you're thinking.
[15:12] Kuroda
    You're wondering if you made the right
    choice by agreeing to cooperate.
[15:17] Kuroda
    I like that look in your eyes.
[15:20] Kuroda
    They're the eyes of a lively and proud elite.
[15:27] Kuroda
    I can tell from your face
    that you don't think I understand.
[15:29] Kuroda
    Sorry, but I do. I get it.
[15:31] Kuroda
    After all, I used to be an elite.
[15:33] Kuroda
    You don't go with the crowd, you don't
    back down, and you don't listen to others.
[15:37] Imaizumi
    Kuroda-san's going even faster.
[15:40] Kuroda
    And yet you're still better than the rest.
[15:43] Kuroda
    No wonder you're confused.
[15:45] Imaizumi
    I'm not like that.
[15:47] Kuroda
    Good luck with that, kid.
[15:51] Imaizumi
    I've worked harder than anyone else.
[15:53] Imaizumi
    That's why I'm strong.
[15:55] Imaizumi
    I've achieved things, too.
[15:56] Imaizumi
    It has nothing to do with being an elite.
[15:59] Kuroda
    In order to become stronger
    and rise higher...
[16:07] Kuroda
    Have you ever bowed your head
    to the one you hate the most?
[16:15] Kuroda
    That's it. Keep it up, Imaizumi.
[16:17] Kuroda
    I'd like to see how far your
    friendly little club gets you.
[16:21] Kuroda
    I believe a team is about becoming
    stronger by struggling against
[16:26] Kuroda
    and hating each other.
[16:29] Kuroda
    Well, good luck.
[16:32] Ashikiba
    Yuki-chan, I'll switch
    with you. I'll lead next.
[16:35] Kuroda
    Stay back, Takuto!
[16:39] Ashikiba
    But we need to catch up
    as quickly as possible.
[16:42] Ashikiba
    And all three of us are working together.
[16:44] Kuroda
    Don't be absurd, Takuto!
[16:46] Kuroda
    You're the ace!
[16:47] Kuroda
    Taking the finish line is the ace's job!
[16:52] Kuroda
    Trusting your assistants and
    conserving your strength
[16:54] Kuroda
    no matter how bad it gets is your job!
[16:58] Kuroda
    Don't worry.
[16:59] Kuroda
    I'll pull twice as hard for you.
[17:02] Kuroda
    And if Imaizumi's not happy with that,
     I'll pull three times as hard.
[17:06] Imaizumi
    Even under these circumstances,
    he still intends to be his assistant?
[17:10] Kuroda
    Just shut up and follow me.
[17:12] Kuroda
    I'm Black Cat Kuroda, the deliveryman!
[17:20] Imaizumi
    But I still don't see Midousuji.
[17:24] Imaizumi
    Damn it. Only two
    and a half kilometers left.
[17:27] Imaizumi
    Will we fail to catch up to them?
[17:29] Imaizumi
    If that happens...
[17:31] Imaizumi
    I'm counting on you, Naruko!
[17:38] Midousuji
    You're at your limit.
[17:41] Midousuji
    Is that the best you can do,
     chicken-headed bean?
[17:46] Midousuji
    In that case, the finish line is mine.
[17:54] Fan
    There are 2.5 kilometers left to
    the first day's finish line!
[17:57] Fan
    Kyoto Fushimi's in the lead!
[17:58] Fan
    Go!
[18:00] Fan
    Kyoto Fushimi!
[18:01] Staff
    Kyoto Fushimi is amazing this year.
[18:04] Staff
    I just heard over the radio that
    there's three guys chasing after them,
[18:07] Staff
    but they're pretty far behind.
[18:09] Staff
    He might actually be able to
    stay ahead of them and win!
[18:15] Fan E
    Kyoto Fushimi's raising his pace!
[18:17] Fan E
    He's trying to stay ahead!
[18:19] Fan G
    Sohoku's desperately chasing after him!
[18:21] Fan G
    At this rate, the first day will go
    to either Sohoku or Kyoto Fushimi!
[18:25] Midousuji
    There are two ways to take the
    finish line in a road race.
[18:30] Midousuji
    Either catch up to those who
    raced ahead for a "group finish,"
[18:34] Midousuji
    or stay ahead of the others
    in a "running finish."
[18:39] Midousuji
    I'm fairly far ahead of Hakone Academy.
[18:42] Midousuji
    I read the terrain and timing
    to achieve this margin.
[18:46] Midousuji
    If I can just maintain this lead, I'll win!
[18:53] Midousuji
    Only two kilometers left!
[18:57] Midousuji
    Winning, victory, the fruits of my labor...
[19:00] Midousuji
    Proof I'm faster than the others.
[19:03] Midousuji
    Stronger than the others.
[19:05] Midousuji
    More right than the others.
[19:08] Midousuji
    Purer than anything else.
[19:11] Midousuji
    That is the finish line!
[19:14] Midousuji
    So why are you trying so hard with
    clenched teeth and a pained expression?
[19:22] Midousuji
    Why? You should allow your spirit
    to be broken and just give up.
[19:28] Midousuji
    Why are you so close, chicken-headed bean?
[19:32] Midousuji
    What is it? The power of friendship?
[19:35] Midousuji
    Is the energy Weakizumi-kun's
    sending you giving you courage?
[19:39] Midousuji
    Don't push yourself so hard.
    Feel free to drop out.
[19:42] Naruko
    You said you'd race me if I caught up,
     so I caught up, Midousuji!
[19:48] Naruko
    I've been waiting for you to
    switch from watching your back
[19:51] Naruko
    to letting down your guard
    and only facing forward!
[19:59] Midousuji
    You intend to get in my way?
[20:02] Naruko
    With all my might!
[20:04] Midousuji
    What an unpleasant attitude.
[20:07] Naruko
    That's rich, coming from you.
[20:10] Naruko
    That's the perfect sound for a starting bell!
[20:14] Fan H
    He's so fast!
[20:15] Fan H
    He was falling behind earlier!
[20:17] Fan I
    He let him get ahead so he could
    conserve his strength on the climb.
[20:21] Fan H
    What do you mean?
[20:22] Fan I
    The first day's course follows a
[20:24] Fan I
    winding road after Lake Chuzenji
    into the final uphill climb.
[20:28] Fan I
    Once you're through the birch forest,
[20:31] Fan I
    it's a perfectly flat road at
    the base of Mount Nantaisan!
[20:36] Fan I
    Sohoku's #3 is a former sprinter!
[20:42] Naruko
    A single road cutting through the trees.
[20:44] Naruko
    One thousand, seven hundred meters
     to the final finish line.
[20:46] Naruko
    Flat terrain.
[20:48] Naruko
    Just the two of us.
[20:49] Naruko
    It's just like that time!
[20:52] Naruko
    That time...
[20:54] (Flashback) Naruko
    I'll quit sprinting!
[20:56] Naruko
    It's just like our race in Osaka.
[21:00] Naruko
    And on top of that,
     we're racing for the finish line!
[21:05] Naruko
    Surely you don't have any—
[21:07] Midousuji
    No complaints here, chicken-headed bean.
[21:14] Naruko
    He's breaking out his special technique.
[21:16] (Flashback) Midousuji
    I'll race you. However,
     you'll only get one chance.
[21:24] (Flashback) Naruko
    That's plenty.
[21:29] Midousuji
    Gross!

[04:42] Sadatoki
    Understood!
[04:45] Sadatoki
    Sohoku, fight!
SIGN    Tadokoro Bread
[05:01] Tadokoro
    We made it! The leaders aren't here yet!
[05:03] Tadokoro
    What did you think of my driving?
[05:05] Tadokoro
    Looks like we'll get to see
    the finish, Makishima, Kinjou.
[05:10] Makishima
    I-It sucks.
[05:12] Makishima
    My flight was six hours late,
    and then that crazy car ride...
[05:17] Kinjou
    Y-You took a road that wasn't on the map.
[05:21] Kinjou
    I'm impressed, Tadokoro.
[05:23] Makishima
    Don't feel like you have to compliment him.
[05:26] Makishima
    So, this where it is this year.
[05:29] Kinjou
    Yeah. Nikkou City, Tochigi Prefecture.
[05:32] Kinjou
    On the northwest side of Lake Chuzenji
[05:34] Kinjou
    is Senjougahara, a marsh stretching across
     the terrain at 1,400 meters above sea level.
[05:39] Kinjou
    The eruptions of Mount Nantaisan formed a lake
[05:42] Kinjou
    that became a marsh over
    a long period of time.
[05:45] Kinjou
    National Route 120 cuts through Senjougahara.
[05:50] Kinjou
    And the Sanbonmatsu Park
    parking lot gate is
[05:54] Kinjou
    the finish line of day one of
    the Tochigi Inter-High.
[06:00] Makishima
    I haven't felt this tension
    and anticipation in a while.
[06:04] Tadokoro
    Yeah. I can't get enough of this atmosphere.
[06:07] Tadokoro
    Just thinking about it
    sends chills down my spine.
[06:09] Tadokoro
    You can really feel that unique
    sensation of the Inter-High.
[06:14] Kinjou
    You're right.
[06:17] Makishima
    So, who's going to be first?
[06:22] Kinjou
    Imaizumi, as the ace?
[06:25] Tadokoro
    You might be surprised.
[06:28] Tadokoro
    It could be that little red bean.
[06:33] Fan A
    They're entering the flat
    before the finish line!
[06:36] Fan B
    Kyoto Fushimi removed some kind of tape!
[06:38] Naruko
    Midousuji's playing the ace up his sleeve!
[06:42] Midousuji
    Unleashing both legs.
[06:44] Midousuji
    This is the trump card
     I've been saving until now.
[06:53] Midousuji
    You still haven't fallen,
    chicken-headed bean!
[06:57] Naruko
    The road's wide enough!
[06:59] Naruko
    Stay away from me, Gross-suji!
[07:01] Naruko
    I'm on fire now, Midousuji!
[07:03] Naruko
    My blood is boiling!
[07:05] Midousuji
    Then maybe you should go to
    the hospital, chicken-head!
[07:10] Naruko
    I'll go to any hospital,
    as long as it's red and flashy!
[07:15] Midousuji
    Chicken-head...
[07:17] Midousuji
    This little bean has gotten stronger.
[07:21] Midousuji
    He improved his climbing, but he
    hasn't gotten slower on the flats.
[07:24] Midousuji
    If anything, it feels like he's applying
    his climbing muscles to the flats.
[07:31] Midousuji
    Not bad.
[07:32] Midousuji
    Come to think of it, Ishigaki-kun
    mentioned something last winter.
[07:36] (Flashback) Ishigaki
    Naruko-kun might return to racing.
[07:42] (Flashback) Midousuji
    Huh? What makes you say that?
[07:46] (Flashback) Ishigaki
    Midousuji, disappointment
    makes people stronger.
[07:53] Midousuji
    Bring it on.
[07:54] Midousuji
    I'll overthrow your strength and
    wrest the victory from your hands.
[07:59] Both
    One kilometer left!
[08:02] Naruko
    I'm getting chills.
     My hair's standing on end.
[08:05] Naruko
    I'm in a make-or-break race with Midousuji
[08:09] Naruko
    on the flat before the
    Inter-High's finish line.
[08:11] Naruko
    A thousand meters remain!
[08:13] Naruko
    Tons of fans are watching!
[08:16] Naruko
    If this isn't flashy...
[08:19] Naruko
    I don't know what is!
[08:21] Fan
    There are 900 meters left!
[08:23] Fan
    Kyoto Fushimi is pulling ahead!
[08:25] Naruko
    Good, Midousuji. This is the best.
[08:28] Naruko
    I'm burning up. Let's do this.
[08:31] Naruko
    Let's put our lives on the line!
[08:37] Fan
    He's so fast! Sohoku's keeping up!
[08:40] Fan
    They're seriously amazing!
[08:41] Fan
    I can feel their spirit from over here!
[08:44] Fan
    So it's come down to those two.
[08:56] Fan
    The next three have made it up the hill!
[09:01] Kuroda
    How far behind are we?
[09:03] Kuroda
    Three-hundred and fifty meters.
[09:05] Imaizumi
    We're so far behind.
[09:07] Imaizumi
    It'll be hard to catch up from here.
[09:11] Imaizumi
    But Naruko's with him.
[09:13] Imaizumi
    This isn't a bad development for Sohoku!
[09:17] Kuroda
    Damn it.
[09:18] Kuroda
    All the pride Hakone Academy has built up...
[09:21] Kuroda
    Was our riding not good enough?
[09:25] Kuroda
    I got our ace this far.
[09:27] Kuroda
    Me, the Black Cat Deliveryman.
[09:30] Kuroda
    And because of just one stupid
    mistake, the finish line...
[09:34] Kuroda
    If you've got time to think, ride, Yukinori!
[09:38] Kuroda
    Let's go, Takuto!
[09:42] Ashikiba
    It's okay, Yuki-chan.
[09:44] Kuroda
    Huh?
[09:46] Ashikiba
    The two of us can't close this gap.
[09:49] Ashikiba
    Even if the two of you pull,
     we'll never catch up.
[09:53] Ashikiba
    But with the three of us,
     we may be able to reach them.
[10:00] Ashikiba
    There's no point if the ace doesn't
    save his strength for the finish line.
[10:04] Ashikiba
    But unless you're in front of the finish line,
     there's nothing to race for.
[10:11] Ashikiba
    I'll pull.
[10:13] Ashikiba
    We... Hakone Academy has
    nothing left to lose!
[10:25] Imaizumi
    Hakone Academy's ace Ashikiba-san
    is making his move!
[10:32] Imaizumi
    Their ace moved to the front.
[10:34] Imaizumi
    He's helping us catch up
    to Midousuji and Naruko.
[10:40] Imaizumi
    He's fast. He's huge.
[10:42] Imaizumi
    He towers over me,
     and I'm 180 centimeters tall.
[10:46] Imaizumi
    Standing at 202 centimeters,
     he's the tallest man at the race.
[10:50] Imaizumi
    His wind pressure is incredible.
[10:52] Kuroda
    Takuto, is there classical
    music playing inside your head?
[10:58] Ashikiba
    Yes.
[11:00] Ashikiba
    The clichéd Ninth!
[11:03] Ashikiba
    The Ninth Symphony!
[11:09] Kuroda
    Keep it up, Takuto!
[11:12] Fan A
    They're catching up!
[11:14] Fan B
    Hakone Academy's ace is pulling!
[11:16] Fan C
    Only Sohoku and Kyoto Fushimi
    have riders in the lead group!
[11:20] Fan D
    Will they catch up?
[11:21] Fan E
    Their rotation has increased their speed...
[11:25] Fan F
    But there's only one kilometer left!
[11:28] Ashikiba
    We'll catch up. We'll catch up.
[11:31] Ashikiba
    We're slowly closing the gap.
[11:33] Ashikiba
    Yuki-chan carried me this
    far so I could rest.
[11:37] Ashikiba
    The classical music is playing.
[11:39] Ashikiba
    My heart is pounding.
[11:41] Ashikiba
    I never thought I'd get to be in the Inter-High,
     but here I am turning my pedals.
[11:47] Ashikiba
    On top of that, I'm wearing
    Hakone Academy's #1 tag.
[11:52] Ashikiba
    Me, the team's best laundry boy!
SIGN    Club Chores
[11:57] (Flashback) Fukutomi
    What do you want to be?
[12:02] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    The best ri...
[12:07] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    ...rider.
[12:10] (Flashback) Shinkai
    What do you like?
[12:13] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    The piano.
[12:14] (Flashback) Shinkai
    Good.
[12:15] (Flashback) Shinkai
    Use that to ride.
[12:17] (Flashback) Shinkai
    Let it push you forward.
[12:19] Ashikiba
    I finally achieved something.
[12:23] Ashikiba
    But...
[12:25] Ashikiba
    No way. No way.
[12:29] Ashikiba
    Why can't I win?
[12:32] Ashikiba
    I'm wearing a jersey.
[12:33] Ashikiba
    I promised Fukutomi-san I would win.
[12:39] Ashikiba
    In that moment, unable to understand
    the situation, my brain got a flat tire.
[12:45] Ashikiba
    I tried to reset everything.
[12:49] Ashikiba
    I was racing to repay their kindness.
[12:54] Ashikiba
    But I couldn't think anymore.
[12:58] (Flashback) Fan
    He's riding backward! Watch out!
[13:02] Ashikiba
    I betrayed their expectations.
[13:05] (Flashback) Fukutomi
    I'm placing you on house arrest indefinitely.
[13:07] (Flashback) Fukutomi
    I'm not letting you race.
[13:10] (Flashback) Fukutomi
    You won't race at the Inter-High, either.
[13:12] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    I'm sorry.
[13:15] Ashikiba
    It was a dizzying three years.
[13:18] Ashikiba
    A less than laudable three years.
[13:22] Ashikiba
    "Riding backward on the course."
[13:23] Ashikiba
    "Indefinitely suspended from racing."
[13:26] Ashikiba
    I screwed up.
[13:29] Ashikiba
    But my teammates supported me.
[13:32] Ashikiba
    My seniors forgave me.
[13:36] (Flashback) Fukutomi
    Ashikiba, the race for the finish is
    both a physical and mental battle.
[13:43] (Flashback) Fukutomi
    Tell yourself over and over
     that you are the ace.
[13:49] (Flashback) Fukutomi
    That you are strong.
[13:53] Ashikiba
    I am strong!
[13:55] Ashikiba
    So these limbs, this body, this number tag...
[14:00] Ashikiba
    This opportunity doesn't belong to me!
[14:04] Kuroda
    Go, Takuto.
[14:06] Kuroda
    You carried such anguish and pain,
    such hopes to make it this far.
[14:13] Ashikiba
    I'm racing to repay all the people
[14:17] Ashikiba
    who called me the ace!
[14:23] Fan G
    It's the Hakone Academy ace
    Ashikiba's Metronome Dancing!
[14:27] Fan H
    The way he swings his giant body
    back and forth is like a metronome!
[14:33] Fan I
    He's huge!
[14:34] Fan J
    He's fast!
[14:36] Ashikiba
    I am strong!
[14:39] Ashikiba
    I'm catching up!
[14:40] Ashikiba
    I'm catching up to the guys in front!
[14:44] Kuroda
    Switch with me, Takuto!
[14:47] Fan K
    Hakone Academy's Kuroda moved to the front!
[14:50] Fan
    Go, Kuroda!
[14:52] Kuroda
    I'll show you how I pull!
[14:54] Kuroda
    This is Hakone Academy's final effort!
[14:56] Kuroda
    Bend, Cat Legs!
[15:02] Kuroda
    We'll catch up!
[15:03] Kuroda
    Kyoto's Midousuji and Sohoku's Naruko!
[15:09] Imaizumi
    Take it, Naruko!
[15:11] Ashikiba
    I have to...
[15:12] Kuroda
    ...catch up!
[15:13] Nuarko
    It's almost...
[15:14] Midousuji
    ...the finish line!
[15:16] Fan L
    The trailing three are chasing after them!
[15:19] Fan M
    They have the two in front in their sights!
[15:21] Fan N
    Is it a five-man finish line sprint?
[15:24] Fan O
    There are three behind and two in front!
[15:26] Fan O
    They have the numbers advantage!
[15:28] Fan P
    Maybe if there were a thousand
    meters left, but the finish line...
[15:35] Fan P
    ...is 500 meters ahead!
[15:36] Fan P
    They're at a disadvantage!
[15:41] Midousuji
    The running finish.
[15:42] Midousuji
    You're wasting your time, Hakone Academy.
[15:45] Midousuji
    Even if you pool your efforts
    and work your muscles,
[15:51] Midousuji
    this margin at 500 meters remaining...
[15:57] Midousuji
    ...was always part of my calculations!
[16:02] Midousuji
    This chicken-head was the only
    thing I didn't account for.
[16:08] Naruko
    Why are you staring at me
    like that, Midousuji?
[16:12] Naruko
    We're at the finish line.
[16:13] Naruko
    Determination, full power, flashiness...
[16:16] Naruko
    Even men fall for my flashiness!
[16:18] Naruko
    Have you fallen for me, too, Midousuji?
[16:21] Midousuji
    I was just exercising my eyes,
     since they were stinging from all your red,
[16:27] Midousuji
    chicken-head!
[16:29] Midousuji
    Gross!
[16:32] Midousuji
    You're determined to interfere
    with my victory, aren't you?
[16:35] Naruko
    I'm not just interfering! I'm going to win!
[16:38] Midousuji
    You're in the way! Move!
[16:40] Naruko
    You're in the way, idiot!
[16:43] Fan Q
    They're crashing into each
    other before the finish line?
[16:45] Fan R
    Wow!
[16:47] Midousuji
    You're strong.
[16:50] Midousuji
    You really are amazing.
[16:55] Midousuji
    Every time I race against you,
    I have the same thought.
[17:01] Midousuji
    If you had stayed in Kansai for high school
    and joined Kyoto Fushimi with me...
[17:09] Midousuji
    If we'd been on the same team—and maybe
    it's weird for me to say this now...
[17:16] Midousuji
    But I always think of how we could've
    been the best of friends, Naruko-kun.
[17:25] Midousuji
    Don't you agree?
[17:29] Midousuji
    The two of us...
[17:32] Naruko
    You finished telling lies, Midousuji?
[17:36] Naruko
    Is this bluff an attempt to distract me
     with warm fuzzy feelings
[17:39] Naruko
    and kill your opponent's tension
    before the finish line?
[17:43] Naruko
    You'll do anything to win.
[17:46] Naruko
    You really are something, Midousuji.
[17:48] Naruko
    But you won't fool me!
[17:50] Naruko
    You don't think we'd be best friends!
[17:56] Midousuji
    You're right! Not in the slightest!
[17:59] Midousuji
    I've never even considered it!
[18:03] Imaizumi
    So that's what you meant, Naruko.
[18:06] Imaizumi
    The day you returned from Osaka,
    you said you raced someone.
[18:13] Sohoku
    Wow, takoyaki.
[18:13] (Flashback) Imaizumi
    Who did you race against?
[18:15] (Flashback) Naruko
    Nobody, really.
[18:16] (Flashback) Naruko
    It wasn't someone you know.
[18:18] Sakamichi
    Thanks for the food.
[18:19] Imaizumi
    But your opponent was...
[18:23] Imaizumi
    Midousuji!
[18:26] Imaizumi
    That's why you kept your eyes on him
[18:28] Imaizumi
    during the confusion earlier
    and raced after him.
[18:33] Imaizumi
    And now you're side by side,
    racing for the finish line.
[18:37] Imaizumi
    You should've told me if it
    was that important, Naruko.
[18:43] (Flashback) Imaizumi
    I'm the one who told you
    to become an all-rounder!
[18:47] (Flashback) Naruko
    I made the decision!
[18:49] (Flashback) Naruko
    Let's race, hotshot.
[18:51] (Flashback) Imaizumi
    What?
[18:52] (Flashback) Naruko
    We'll pull ahead of Hakone Academy
     before the finish line.
[18:55] (Flashback) Imaizumi
    I see.
[18:55] (Flashback) Naruko
    Whoever crosses the finish
    line first is the ace!
[18:59] (Flashback) Imaizumi
    Bring it on!
[19:01] Imaizumi
    So that's how it is.
[19:04] Imaizumi
    Go, Naruko.
[19:06] Imaizumi
    If I catch up to you just
    before the finish line...
[19:12] Imaizumi
    I'll push your back as hard as I can!
[19:17] Imaizumi
    Today, you're the ace, Naruko!
[19:20] Imaizumi
    Take the finish line!
[19:22] Fan S
    The leaders have crossed the 400 meter line!
[19:25] Fan T
    Sohoku's Naruko is in front!
[19:28] Midousuji
    He refuses to let me have it.
[19:33] Midousuji
    Then I don't have a choice.
[19:36] Midousuji
    I'll have to fly before the finish line!
[19:41] Naruko
    Fly?
[19:43] Naruko
    Is Midousuji breaking out
    his true trump card?
[19:48] Fan T
    The others have crossed the 400-meter line!
[19:50] Fan U
    Go, Hakone Academy!
[19:54] Kuroda
    We're chasing as fast as we can,
    but they're going at top speed, too.
[19:57] Kuroda
    It's not that easy to close this gap.
[20:00] Kuroda
    But! But!
[20:02] Kuroda
    It's not easy, but...
[20:06] Kuroda
    There's nothing I can't do!
[20:16] Fan V
    Just 300 meters remaining!
[20:17] Fan V
    They're closing the gap!
[20:19] Fan W
    Will they stay ahead? Will they catch up?
[20:22] Midousuji
    I already said they can't catch up.
[20:25] Midousuji
    Actually, if the course were straight,
    they might have.
[20:36] Midousuji
    But there's a difficult corner leading
    the course from National Route 120
[20:40] Midousuji
    to the first day's finish line
    at the large parking lot.
[20:47] Midousuji
    Two of them.
[20:52] Naruko
    I'm entering the corner first!
[20:56] Naruko
    I can see it.
[20:58] Naruko
    It's the finish line gate!
[21:01] Midousuji
    Time to fly.
[21:05] Midousuji
    When insects have oversaturated an area...
[21:14] Midousuji
    They metamorphosize wings,
    so they can fly to new locations!
[21:22] Naruko
    We're in the middle of a corner, Midousuji!
[21:25] Naruko
    You're going to do that here?
[21:29] Midousuji
    This... is my...
[21:34] Midousuji
    Metamorphosis!
[23:13] Tadokoro
    Makishima's late.

    but they're going at top speed, too.
[01:15] Kuroda
    It's not that easy to close this gap.
[01:17] Kuroda
    But! But!
[01:20] Kuroda
    It's not easy, but...
[01:23] Kuroda
    There's nothing I can't do!
[01:34] Fan V
    Just 300 meters remaining!
[01:35] Fan V
    They're closing the gap!
[01:37] Fan W
    Will they stay ahead? Will they catch up?
[01:39] Midousuji
    I already said they can't catch up.
[01:43] Midousuji
    Actually, if the course were straight,
    they might have.
[01:54] Midousuji
    But there's a difficult corner leading
    the course from National Route 120
[02:02] Midousuji
    to the first day's finish line
    at the large parking lot.
[02:05] Midousuji
    Two of them.
[02:10] Naruko
    I'm entering the corner first!
[02:13] Naruko
    I can see it.
[02:15] Naruko
    It's the finish line gate!
[02:19] Midousuji
    Time to fly.
[02:23] Midousuji
    When insects have oversaturated an area...
[02:32] Midousuji
    They metamorphosize wings,
    so they can fly to new locations!
[02:40] Naruko
    We're in the middle of a corner, Midousuji!
[02:43] Naruko
    You're going to do that here?
[02:46] Ashikiba
    They entered the corner ahead of us!
[02:48] Kuroda
    Shut up and follow me, Takuto!
[02:51] Kuroda
    I'm glad there are two corners
    before the finish line.
[02:57] Kuroda
    Takuto! You were right!
[03:00] Kuroda
    Hakone Academy has nothing left to lose!
[03:04] Kuroda
    We're charging in at full speed!
[03:06] Ashikiba
    Yeah!

    How could we place second
    at the finish line, too?
[05:23] Naruko
    Who called me a bean?
[05:24] Kaburagi
    So why is Naruko-san cracking jokes?
[05:27] Kaburagi
    Doesn't he realize what happened?
[05:29] Kaburagi
    Is he stupid?
[05:30] Kaburagi
    Is he not frustrated?

    Stop, Issa!
[05:33] Kaburagi
    No, I'm gonna say it!
[05:34] Kaburagi
    Isn't that the reason we placed second?
[05:37] Kaburagi
    That's why Naruko-san lost!

    Don't stop me, Onoda.
[05:43] Imaizumi
    I'm going to teach this idiot.
[05:44] Kaburagi
    What? Idiot?
[05:46] Kaburagi
    Who are you talking about? Me?
[05:48] Imaizumi
    Naruko sprinted as hard as
    he could for the finish line.
[05:52] Imaizumi
    I was right behind him. I know.
[05:55] Imaizumi
    They were neck and neck.
[05:57] Imaizumi
    Midousuji attacked first,
    and Naruko responded.
[06:01] Imaizumi
    He threw his bike forward so he
    could win precisely and certainly.
[06:08] Imaizumi
    His timing wasn't off.
[06:10] Imaizumi
    I thought he won.
[06:14] Imaizumi
    But Hakone Academy's Ashikiba threw
    his bike at the exact same time.
[06:20] Imaizumi
    Ashikiba won.
[06:23] Imaizumi
    Do you know why?
[06:26] Imaizumi
    You think Naruko isn't frustrated?
[06:30] Imaizumi
    No one's more frustrated than him.
[06:32] Imaizumi
    He lost because of their difference
    in height. Their reach.
[06:39] Naruko
    Naruko Shoukichi can get laughs, too!
[06:42] Naruko
    Don't forget that!
[06:44] Naruko
    See you guys tomorrow!
[06:46] Naruko
    Here.
[06:49] Imaizumi
    Knowing he can do nothing about his height,
[06:52] Imaizumi
    he's biting back his frustration
    and standing onstage.

[08:56] Sakamichi
    He gave everything he had against

[09:00] Sakamichi
    He can't ride anymore.
[09:04] Sakamichi
    He pushed himself really hard
    to reach the finish line.
[09:10] Sakamichi
    I was supposed to do that work for
    our second Inter-High, but I...
[09:17] Sakamichi
    I'm a second-year now.
[09:20] Sakamichi
    No! I can't let my thoughts get dark.
[09:22] Sakamichi
    I know. If anything, I should be cheerful.
[09:25] Sakamichi
    I'll cheer everyone up.
[09:26] Sakamichi
    As a second-year, I should
    keep everyone's spirits up.
[09:29] Sakamichi
    I know. I'll tell a joke.
[09:31] Sakamichi
    Okay, um...
[09:33] Teshima

[09:34] Sakamichi
    Who?
[09:35] Sakamichi
    Oh, yes?
[09:37] Teshima
    Thanks for carrying me to the finish line.
[09:42] Sakamichi
    Oh, no problem.
[09:44] Sakamichi
    But I should've been the one to race
    in the first day's mountain stage.
[09:49] Sakamichi
    I'm sorry I got separated from the team.
[09:54] Teshima
    You did well to break through their
     tag #1 barrier and ride to the front.
[09:59] Teshima
    It must've been hard.
[10:01] Teshima
    Didn't Kyoto try to slow
    you down on your way there?
[10:05] Sakamichi
    Compared to you, I hardly did anything.
[10:10] Sakamichi
    Um...
[10:11] Teshima
    Thanks to you, all six of us finished.
[10:16] Sakamichi
    Yes, sir.
[10:18] Aya
    Don't they race again tomorrow?
[10:20] Miki
    Huh?
[10:21] Aya
    Can Teshima-san race like this?
[10:28] Aya
    Huh?
[10:37] Kaburagi

[11:00] Aoyagi
    Leave him on the ground, Onoda.
[11:02] Aoyagi
    Did he just lose consciousness?

    And bring some cold water.

[11:09] Imaizumi
    He was angrily ranting about
    Naruko until a second ago!

    Bring him inside.
[11:16] Aoyagi
    Get three towels.
[11:17] Danchiku
    Yes, sir.
[11:20] Imaizumi
    But once that runs out, all the exhaustion
    that's built up hits you at once.
[11:27] Imaizumi
    I should've forced him to cool down.

    I had my hands full with myself.

    Go look for Naruko.
[11:52] Teshima
    There's something we all need to talk
    about before we head to the hotel.
[12:01] Sakamichi
    Where is Naruko-kun?
[12:03] Sakamichi
    The awards ceremony is over.
[12:05] Sakamichi
    Ouch...
[12:06] Sakamichi
    My legs are sore.
[12:10] Sakamichi
    I wonder what he wants to talk about.
[12:12] Sakamichi
    Is it important?
[12:13] Teshima
    Kaburagi and I can't race tomorrow.
[12:16] Teshima
    The four of you have to race.
[12:17] Kaburagi
    Good luck.
[12:19] Sakamichi
    No, no! Makishima-san said
    bad thoughts bring bad results.
[12:28] Sakamichi
    The six of us will ride.
[12:31] Sakamichi
    I'm sure we'll be fine.
[12:33] Sakamichi
    Sohoku is a team that supports each other!
[12:38] Sakamichi
    Kinjou-san said the same thing last year!
[12:40] Sakamichi
    Kinjou-san...
[12:49] Sakamichi
    What?
[12:56] Tadokoro
    You sure, Makishima?
[12:58] Makishima
    Yeah.
[13:00] Tadokoro
    It's your decision to make.
[13:02] Tadokoro
    You traveled the farthest.
[13:05] Makishima
    This is fine.
[13:10] Sakamichi
    Huh?
[13:17] Sakamichi
    What?
[13:21] Sakamichi
    Kinjou-san?
[13:24] Kinjou
    We were watching at the finish line.
[13:27] Kinjou
    You've put together a good team, Onoda.
[13:31] Sakamichi
    Kinjou-san...
[13:33] Sakamichi
    Kinjou-san!
[13:35] Kinjou
    It's been a while.
[13:37] Kinjou
    Looks like you've grown a little.
[13:40] Kinjou
    Your face has changed.
[13:41] Sakamichi
    Huh? Really?
[13:43] Sakamichi
    Y-You came to cheer us on?
[13:46] Sakamichi
    Th-Thank you!
[13:48] Sakamichi
    It's really you!
[13:53] Sakamichi
    The team's in trouble.
[13:56] Sakamichi
    Teshima-san is exhausted, and our
    first-year Kaburagi-kun collapsed.
[14:03] Sakamichi
    Come to our tent.
[14:04] Sakamichi
    Everyone will be glad to see you.
[14:06] Sakamichi
    A visit from you will cheer them up.
[14:09] Sakamichi
    It's this way.
[14:14] Kinjou
    I can't.
[14:15] Sakamichi
    Y-You have something to do? You're busy?
[14:18] Sakamichi
    But couldn't you just stop by?
[14:21] Sakamichi
    I-Isn't Sohoku a team that supports each other?
[14:24] Kinjou
    You're the ones who support each other.
[14:26] Sakamichi
    Huh?
[14:28] Kinjou
    You're the only ones within arm's
    reach when you need each other.
[14:33] Kinjou
    We've already graduated.
[14:37] Kinjou
    We can't support you anymore.
[14:52] Imaizumi
    Onoda, where have you been?
[14:53] Imaizumi
    Naruko came back already.
[14:55] Sakamichi
    Sorry I'm late.
[14:57] Naruko
    Let's get this team meeting
    started, Onoda-kun.
[15:00] Sakamichi
    Okay.
[15:02] Teshima
    We gave everything we had. All six of us.
[15:06] Teshima
    And we lost.
[15:08] Teshima
    Naruko did his best, but in the end,
     he couldn't make it.
[15:12] Teshima
    It was a close second.
[15:16] Imaizumi
    Teshima-san and Kaburagi
    were close seconds, too.
[15:21] Imaizumi
    We were beaten at the very last second.
[15:24] Teshima
    The answer I've drawn from this...
[15:30] Teshima
    ...is that we're still only challengers!
[15:35] Teshima
    Hakone Academy is strong.
[15:37] Teshima
    The fans have high hopes for them, too.
[15:39] Teshima
    And we can't underestimate Kyoto Fushimi.
[15:42] Teshima
    So...
[15:43] Teshima
    There's only one thing for us to do.
[15:45] Teshima
    It's the same as last year.
[15:47] Teshima
    We'll persistently hang on until we're
    exhausted, try and fail repeatedly,
[15:53] Teshima
    find the tiniest of opportunities,
     and seize them.
[15:57] Teshima
    We'll entrust our souls to each other
     and ride as hard as we can.
[16:00] Teshima
    We'll help and support each
    other and never give up.
[16:04] Teshima
    We just have to ride the way Sohoku rides!
[16:07] Naruko
    Is that our only option?
[16:09] Imaizumi
    It's an exhausting way to ride.
[16:14] Teshima
    That's right.
[16:17] Sakamichi
    I have an announcement.
[16:21] Sakamichi
    I just ran into Kinjou-san
    at the Inter-High grounds.
[16:25] Naruko
    Kin...
[16:26] Teshima
    What?
[16:28] Imaizumi
    Kinjou-san's here?
[16:30] Naruko
    Captain Shades is here?
[16:32] Naruko
    Oh, I guess he's not the captain anymore.
[16:35] Aoyagi
    And Tadokoro-san and Makishima-san?
[16:36] Teshima
    Are they coming by the tent later?
[16:38] Sakamichi
    They said they couldn't see us.
[16:41] All
    What?
[16:44] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    Wh-Why not? It could be for just a second.
[16:50] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    I know it would make everyone happy.
[16:56] (Flashback) Kinjou
    At first, we planned to visit
    your tent and praise you guys.
[17:00] (Flashback) Kinjou
    But on the first day, Sohoku just
    barely let their chance slip away.
[17:06] (Flashback) Kinjou
    We thought it would be dangerous.
[17:07] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    All the more reason for you to come.
[17:13] (Flashback) Kinjou
    The power to avoid a dangerous situation
[17:15] (Flashback) Kinjou
    or turn that into a victory only lies
    within the individual or the team.
[17:22] Sakamichi
    Kinjou-san was actually...
[17:24] (Flashback) Kinjou
    If we go, the tension will be shattered.
[17:28] (Flashback) Kinjou
    You'll lose sight of what you have to do.
[17:30] (Flashback) Kinjou
    It'll divide the team.
[17:35] (Flashback) Kinjou
    You're at your weakest right now.
[17:38] (Flashback) Kinjou
    That's why we can't go.
[17:40] (Flashback) Kinjou
    You must understand that, Onoda.
[17:45] Sakamichi
    He was thinking of us.
[17:48] (Flashback) Kinjou
    Struggle against your difficult
    circumstances, Onoda.
[17:52] (Flashback) Kinjou
    That will surely give rise to something.
[17:55] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    Yes, sir.
[17:58] (Flashback) Kinjou
    Good.
[17:59] Kinjou
    You have the face of a
    second-year now, Onoda.
[18:03] (Flashback) Kinjou
    We were going to leave without seeing anyone,
     but I'm glad I got to talk to you.
[18:08] (Flashback) Kinjou
    The three of us decided we
    wouldn't see anyone today.
[18:11] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    The three of you?
[18:13] (Flashback) Kinjou
    I know it's hard, but try to understand.
[18:15] (Flashback) Kinjou
    But we plan to stick around and watch
    the race for as long as we can.
[18:20] (Flashback) Kinjou
    Go back and tell the others
    that we'll be watching.
[18:27] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    Um... three of you?
[18:33] (Flashback) Kinjou
    Yeah. Makishima came, too.
[18:36] (Flashback) Kinjou
    All the way from England.
[18:41] Sakamichi
    M-Makishima-san is at the race?
[18:46] Sakamichi
    He's in Japan?

    Does it hurt not to see him, Onoda?

    I'm sure it does.

    Makishima said he's gotten a
    lot of letters from you.

    Does it hurt, Onoda?
[19:12] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    Makishima-san is here.
[19:16] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    He's watching us race.
[19:23] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    I'm glad!
[19:28] Imaizumi
    So they can't come see us.
[19:31] Naruko
    He's tough.
[19:33] Naruko
    What is he, a rock?
[19:35] Aoyagi
    Tadokoro-san...
[19:37] Teshima
    So that's how it is.
[19:39] Teshima
    They can't support us when we're weak.
[19:42] Sakamichi
    So...
[19:46] Sakamichi
    Let's get stronger.
[19:48] Sakamichi
    We'll become stronger.
[19:51] Teshima
    This rising pressure...
[19:53] Teshima
    Kinjou-san described
    Onoda that way last year.
[19:59] Sakamichi
    Let's show them our new Sohoku!
[20:03] Teshima
    Those forward-facing eyes...
[20:05] Teshima
    This is what moved Sohoku last year.
[20:08] Teshima
    That's it. It's simple,
    but you're right, Onoda.
[20:12] Naruko
    Of course.
[20:13] Naruko
    In that case, let's shock them.
[20:15] Imaizumi
    So they won't see us until we win?
[20:18] Imaizumi
    His orders are as difficult as ever.
[20:22] Aoyagi
    We have to be number one.
[20:28] Sakamichi
    Let's do it again tomorrow, Sohoku!
[20:32] All
    Yeah!
[20:36] All
    All right!
[20:39] Imaizumi
    Oh.
[20:41] Imaizumi
    We forgot someone.
[20:48] Aya

    I disappointed myself.

    When you're disappointed, you must

    Yes, with the same housewife alliance.
[03:11] Mom
    I wanted to see your race, but the
    roads were closed, so I just got here.
[03:17] Mom
    Were they working on the roads or something?

    By the way...
[03:33] Mom
    I see you're staying in the annex
    instead of the fancy main hotel.
[03:38] Mom
    Is that because your school
    isn't private, but prefectural?

[19:49] Shinkai
    Let's talk on the road.
[19:54] Onoda
    Um, Shinkai-kun....
[19:57] Shinkai
    Oh, yeah. You didn't give me
    an answer to my challenge.
[20:00] Shinkai
    It's "yes," right?
[20:02] Onoda
    Oh, not that.
[20:03] Onoda
    Do you have a nickname, too?
[20:09] Shinkai
    Yes, I do. It's not that famous yet, though.
[20:19] Shinkai
    The Peak Hornet.
[20:24] Onoda
    Peak... Hornet?
[20:29] Shinkai
    It'll hurt if I sting you.
[20:35] Naruko
    Onoda-kun, time to go!
[20:37] Imaizumi
    We'll lose our warm-up time.
[20:39] Onoda
    Oh, right.
[20:43] Int_Onoda
    Shinkai Yuto-kun... He seems strong.
[20:49] Int_Onoda
    Sorry, Shinkai-kun, but I can't race you.

    Yesterday we finished three minutes

    You're back, Teshima-san.
[05:15] Teshima
    Hey, Manami.
[05:16] Manami
    You were exhausted.
[05:18] Teshima
    And who did that to me?
[05:21] Teshima
    I recovered as only an ordinary man can.
[05:24] Teshima
    Recovery is key in multi-stage races.

[05:58] Sakamichi
    By the strength of all six of us!
[06:03] Teshima
    The race has started!
[06:04] Teshima
    Does everyone remember their orders?
[06:06] All
    Yes, sir!
[06:08] (Flashback) Teshima
    Let's go over the second day's course.
[06:10] (Flashback) Teshima
    The race starts at yesterday's finish line.
[06:13] (Flashback) Teshima
    We'll ride north on National Route 120,
[06:16] (Flashback) Teshima
    which cuts through Senjougahara
    at 1,400 meters above sea level.
[06:19] (Flashback) Teshima
    The long, winding climb begins shortly
    after the starting line,
[06:23] (Flashback) Teshima
    and rises to approximately 1,800 meters.
[06:25] (Flashback) Teshima
    The road leads to the Konsei Pass
     and the Konsei Tunnel.
[06:29] (Flashback) Teshima
    After clearing the pass,
    we'll enter a long downhill.
[06:34] (Flashback) Teshima
    Past the ski slope and lake is
    a downhill-sloping flat road.
[06:38] (Flashback) Teshima
    We'll pass by the scenic Fukiware Falls,
[06:41] (Flashback) Teshima
    through Numata City where
     Route 120 ends, then keep on riding.
[06:46] (Flashback) Teshima
    It's the longest stage of the three-day race.
[06:50] (Flashback) Teshima
    Imaizumi, meet up with Naruko immediately.
[06:52] (Flashback) Both
    Yes, sir.
[06:53] (Flashback) Teshima
    The rest of us will follow.
[06:56] (Flashback) Teshima
    The mountains begin shortly after we start.
[06:58] (Flashback) Teshima
    Onoda...
[07:00] (Flashback) Teshima
    Climb as hard as you can and
    catch up to Imaizumi and Naruko!
[07:03] (Flashback) Onoda
    Yes, sir!
[07:05] (Flashback) Onoda
    Those are practically the
    same orders I got last year.
[07:10] (Flashback) Teshima
    To be honest, Sohoku is barely hanging on.
[07:13] (Flashback) Teshima
    But we have two advantages
    going into the second day.
[07:19] Fan 1
    It's the leading pack!
[07:21] Fan 2
    Two Sohoku riders are in front!
[07:24] (Flashback) Teshima
    First, we have two guys in the front.
[07:26] (Flashback) Teshima
    Imaizumi and Naruko had nearly
    the same times yesterday.
[07:30] (Flashback) Teshima
    They'll be able to meet up immediately.
[07:32] (Flashback) Teshima
    Together, they'll be able to
    keep the other teams in check.
[07:36] (Flashback) Teshima
    And if they use a rotation,
     they can conserve their strength.
[07:39] (Flashback) Teshima
    In other words, we can move
    the front at our own pace.
[07:44] Naruko
    Now this makes it easy to ride.
[07:46] Naruko
    Try to catch up quickly, Teshima-san!
[07:49] (Flashback) Teshima
    The other advantage is...
[07:53] Sakamichi
    We've entered the mountains!
[07:55] Sakamichi
    I'm moving up!
[07:56] Teshima
    We're counting on you, Onoda!
[07:59] (Flashback) Teshima
    Our other advantage isn't certain.
[08:02] (Flashback) Teshima
    It depends on what Hakone Academy does.
[08:04] (Flashback) Teshima
    If Hakone Academy slows its pace
    when we enter the mountains,
[08:07] (Flashback) Teshima
    move up and pedal as hard as you can.
[08:10] (Flashback) Teshima
    It'll be our chance to get
    ahead of Hakone Academy.
[08:14] Sakamichi
    Hakone Academy isn't slowing down.
[08:16] Teshima
    Not yet.
[08:17] Kaburagi
    Teshima-san, weren't your
    orders this morning too vague?
[08:22] Kaburagi
    Move up if Hakone Academy slows down?
[08:24] Kaburagi
    Why would they ever do that?
[08:29] Sakamichi
    Hakone Academy is accelerating!
[08:31] Teshima
    Don't fall behind, Onoda!
[08:32] Sakamichi
    Yes, sir!
[08:37] Teshima
    If we fall behind now,
    having two riders in front
[08:40] Teshima
    and our other chances will go up in smoke!
[08:50] Sakamichi
    Hakone Academy is accelerating again!
[08:52] Teshima
    Don't let them get away, Onoda!
[08:53] Sakamichi
    Yes, sir!
[08:57] Teshima
    Soon. They'll slow down soon.
[09:01] Teshima
    That's what I would do.
[09:03] Teshima
    We need to make them slow down!
[09:05] Teshima
    Try to get ahead of Hakone Academy,
    even if it's just for a second!
[09:07] Teshima
    Once we make it past that turn...
[09:11] Teshima
    Pull as hard as you can!
[09:12] Sakamichi
    Yes, sir!
[09:25] Sakamichi
    They...
[09:26] Teshima
    They slowed down!
[09:29] Kaburagi
    You can't be serious!
[09:30] Kaburagi
    What's going on? Are they already exhausted?
[09:32] Aoyagi
    No!
[09:33] Teshima
    Go, Onoda!
[09:34] Teshima
    Now's our chance to get ahead!
[09:36] Sakamichi
    Yes, sir!
[09:37] Kaburagi
    They actually slowed down.
[09:39] Teshima
    It's what I would do.
[09:41] Teshima
    Hakone Academy has one more,
    Kuroda, left on their team!
[09:45] Teshima
    Kuroda didn't move for a while after
    he fell before the finish line.
[09:50] Teshima
    He finished after we did.
[09:54] Teshima
    Kuroda is part of Hakone
    Academy's chain of command.
[09:57] Teshima
    They'll want him to ride with them.
[09:59] Kaburagi
    Wow...
[10:01] Teshima
    That's how I knew they would slow down.
[10:03] Teshima
    If we pass Hakone Academy
    and keep up this pace,
[10:05] Teshima
    Sohoku will have an overwhelming advantage!
[10:08] Sakamichi
    Amazing.
[10:09] Sakamichi
    The first day's results
    have given us an advantage.
[10:14] Kaburagi
    I thought they were exhausted.
[10:22] Kaburagi
    Whoops!
[10:24] Kaburagi
    I spaced out.
[10:25] Kaburagi
    I could never fall behind here.
[10:31] Sakamichi
    Teshima-san, is this pace okay?
[10:35] Sakamichi
    We'll be able to group up
     with the others soon.
[10:37] Teshima
    Yeah. Keep it up, Onoda!
[10:45] Kaburagi
    Huh? What?
[10:52] Teshima
    Onoda, let's switch.
[10:53] Onoda
    Yes, sir.
[10:58] Teshima
    We can stay ahead of them while
    they're picking up Kuroda!
[11:01] Teshima
    Let's get our team together before they do!
[11:03] Sakamichi
    Yes, sir!
[11:04] Teshima
    What's wrong, Kaburagi?
[11:06] Teshima
    I can't hear you!
[11:07] Teshima
    Are you keeping—
[11:11] Kaburagi
    What is it?
[11:14] Kaburagi
    I answered.
[11:16] Kaburagi
    We're headed for the front, right?
[11:18] Kaburagi
    Let's get ahead of
     Hakone Academy and that pig.
[11:21] Teshima
    All right. I like your enthusiasm.
[11:23] Teshima
    It'll be hard, but make sure you keep up.
[11:26] Kaburagi
    Who do you think you're talking to?
[11:28] Kaburagi
    I'm the genius all-rounder Kaburagi Issa!
[11:31] Teshima
    Sounds promising.
[11:35] Kaburagi
    That was close.
[11:36] Kaburagi
    I couldn't keep up with the pace we're
    keeping to pull ahead of Hakone Academy.
[11:40] Kaburagi
    Someone as great as me...
[11:43] Kaburagi
    Maybe I'm not in top shape.
[11:46] Kaburagi
    I feel out of sync.
[11:47] Kaburagi
    I did earlier, too.
[11:49] (Flashback) Kaburagi
    Huh? What?
[11:52] (Flashback) Kaburagi
    What?
[11:53] (Flashback) Kaburagi
    Why are my feet on the ground?
[11:55] (Flashback) Kaburagi
    I can't get left behind here.
[11:57] (Flashback) Kaburagi
    This isn't good.
[11:58] Kaburagi
    I'm Kaburagi Issa, the man who
    will make Sohoku stronger.
[12:02] Kaburagi
    I'm secretly aiming to stand on the
    highest point of the final winner's podium.
[12:08] (Flashback) Kaburagi
    Damn it!
[12:14] Kaburagi
    It's so tough, I couldn't
    respond to Teshima-san.
[12:18] Aoyagi
    Are you keeping up?
[12:20] Aoyagi
    It seemed like you were falling behind.
[12:22] Kaburagi
    What? You must be seeing things!
[12:24] Kaburagi
    Are you sure you don't need glasses?
[12:25] Aoyagi
    I see.
[12:29] Kaburagi
    I'm glad Aoyagi-san's an idiot.
[12:31] Kaburagi
    I just have to make it
    to the top of the pass.
[12:34] Kaburagi
    Keep at it. You'll be okay.
[12:37] Kaburagi
    They won't be able to group up with
    third-year Kuroda that quickly, anyway.
[12:44] Rider 1

[12:47] Rider 2
    What's going on?
[12:47] Rider 2
    Is someone not feeling well?
[12:49] Rider 3
    Doesn't look that way to me.
[12:52] Rider 4
    Are they waiting for #12 so their
    whole team can ride together?
[12:55] Rider 5
    So they slowed down and
    fell back to the pack?

    Everyone's here now.
[13:02] Izumida

[13:05] Izumida
    Go!
[13:06] Rider 3
    Hakone Academy's charging ahead!
[13:08] Rider 3
    They're fast!
[13:08] Rider 4
    There's still only five of them,
    but it's like all six of them are there!
[13:13] Rider 6
    The second day's going to get crazy.
[13:15] Rider 6
    Sohoku's trying to stay ahead as four!
[13:17] Rider 6
    Hakone Academy's chasing from behind as five!
[13:23] Kaburagi
    I'm okay now. I've gotten used to the pace.
[13:26] Kaburagi
    I won't fall behind.
[13:28] Kaburagi
    I just have to keep climbing.
[13:33] Kaburagi
    Please slow down a little...
[13:36] Aoyagi
    Are you okay, Kaburagi?
[13:37] Aoyagi
    You look pale.
[13:39] Kaburagi
    What? I'm fine.

    Maybe it's the light.
[13:42] Kaburagi
    Seriously, I'm great.
[13:45] Kaburagi
    Piece of cake.
[13:48] Kaburagi
    I can't say it.
[13:50] Kaburagi
    I can't ask them to lower the pace.
[13:53] Kaburagi
    It would be too lame.
[13:56] Kuroda
    Sorry, Touichirou.

    Thanks, Manami. Have you been good?

    Don't drawl.
[14:09] Doubashi
    You're not serious enough, Manami.
[14:12] Izumida
    It's rising.
[14:13] Izumida
    Just having Yuki around
    raises the team's morale.
[14:17] Izumida
    Think you've gotten ahead of us, Teshima-kun?
[14:21] Izumida
    Did you think you'd have an
    advantage if you caught up first?
[14:26] Izumida
    Too bad.
[14:28] Izumida
    You're not the ones who will
    catch up to the front first.
[14:32] Izumida
    Calm down, Frank.
[14:34] Izumida
    It's a long ten-kilometer
    climb to the Konsei Pass.
[14:38] Izumida
    How long can you stay ahead?
[14:40] Izumida
    Or...
[14:43] Izumida
    Soon?
[14:49] Kaburagi
    Damn, no way! Hakone Academy?
[14:51] Kaburagi
    No! No!
[14:54] Kaburagi
    Kaburagi Issa, you left
    Hakone Academy behind!
[14:57] Kaburagi
    Don't let them pass you!
[15:01] Kaburagi
    What am I doing? What am I doing?
[15:04] Kaburagi
    Damn it.
[15:05] Kaburagi
    I suddenly felt tired and
    fell behind the team.
[15:08] Kaburagi
    I only meant to rest for a second,
    but I stepped off my bike and stopped.
[15:13] Kaburagi
    If I get left behind Hakone Academy,
     my race will be over!
[15:17] Kaburagi
    No!
[15:19] Kaburagi
    It's not over yet!
[15:22] Kaburagi
    Crap! This isn't good!
[15:24] Kaburagi
    That's what my instincts are telling me!
[15:26] Kaburagi
    I don't have time to worry
    about Sohoku or Hakone Academy.
[15:29] Kaburagi
    Jump on the wheel in front of you.
[15:31] Kaburagi
    Then you'll make it to the front.
[15:36] Kaburagi
    I can do it!
[15:40] Kaburagi
    The pig's wheel...
[15:48] Kaburagi
    I have a request, pig.
[15:50] Kaburagi
    Take me to the front.
[15:54] Kaburagi
    I'm your enemy.
[15:55] Kaburagi
    I know you don't like having me behind you.
[15:57] Kaburagi
    But...
[15:58] Kaburagi
    I don't want it to end yet!
[16:01] Kaburagi
    Let me ride here.
[16:03] Kaburagi
    Please, pig!
[16:07] Doubashi
    That's your pride?
[16:10] Doubashi
    Sticking to your opponent's behind like crap,
[16:14] Doubashi
    you want an easy ride to the best part,
     so you can fight against us?
[16:19] Doubashi
    Does your pride permit that?
[16:22] Kaburagi
    No! Of course not!
[16:25] Kaburagi
    But this is the only way!
[16:27] Kaburagi
    I don't want to do this!
[16:28] Kaburagi
    But my limbs are numb and won't
    move the way I want them to!
[16:32] Kaburagi
    I want to keep riding in the Inter-High!
[16:34] Kaburagi
    Please!
[16:38] Doubashi
    Then don't bother.
[16:39] Doubashi
    You wouldn't be able to keep up
    with Hakone Academy's pace anyway.
[16:45] Doubashi
    You're a first-year, right?
[16:47] Doubashi
    I'm a second-year.
[16:48] Doubashi
    We'll race again next year
    in a head-to-head battle!
[16:53] Kaburagi
    Hey, wait!
[16:55] Kaburagi
    Wait, pig!
[16:58] Doubashi
    Bowing your head to your enemy,
[17:00] Doubashi
    abandoning your pride, and frantically
    searching for a lifeline...
[17:04] Doubashi
    I don't mind guys like you.
[17:08] Yuto
    #6, Sohoku's Kaburagi Issa, has fallen.
[17:11] Izumida
    Yeah.
[17:13] Izumida
    It only took a second.
[17:17] Sakamichi
    Kabu...
[17:20] Teshima
    I was so focused on catching up,
     I didn't notice.
[17:24] Teshima
    How long?
[17:25] Teshima
    How long has Kaburagi been missing?
[17:28] Teshima
    Did he fall behind on the way here?
[17:31] Teshima
    What are you doing, Teshima Junta?
[17:33] Sakamichi
    M-Maybe there's something
    wrong with his bike.
[17:36] Sakamichi
    Like a flat tire.
[17:37] Teshima
    No, then he'd shout.
[17:39] Teshima
    We've done it countless times in practice.
[17:41] Teshima
    I told him to report any issues.
[17:44] Sakamichi
    M-Maybe he's not feeling well.
[17:48] Sakamichi
    But during this morning's meeting...
[17:51] (Flashback) Teshima
    It'll affect our strategy.
[17:53] (Flashback) Teshima
    Notify me if you don't feel well.
[17:57] (Flashback) Kaburagi
    Piece of cake.
[17:59] Teshima
    He likes to show off.
[18:02] Teshima
    He was just acting fine in front of us.
[18:05] Sakamichi
    He could've told me or Imaizumi-kun...
[18:10] Teshima
    Koga said lone first-years try to take on
    everything themselves at the Inter-High.
[18:17] Sakamichi
    Koga-san...
[18:19] Teshima
    Not having a classmate you can talk to
    and being a first-year on top of that
[18:26] Teshima
    puts an incredible amount of pressure on you.
[18:29] Teshima
    So much is expected of them.
[18:30] Teshima
    They're given orders, made to fight in
    an Inter-High they know nothing about,
[18:34] Teshima
    and pushed to their physical
    and mental limits.
[18:37] Teshima
    But they still desperately work
    to meet expectations.
[18:42] (Flashback) Koga
    That's how it is.
[18:44] (Flashback) Koga
    They're so overwhelmed,
     they don't listen to their own bodies.
[18:48] (Flashback) Koga
    They only notice later,
     once they've suffered damage.
[18:51] (Flashback) Koga
    Just like I did.
[18:53] (Flashback) Koga
    Watch Kaburagi closely.
[18:57] (Flashback) Koga
    He's a reckless idiot.
[19:00] (Flashback) Koga
    He's just like I used to be.
[19:03] Sakamichi
    When Koga-san was a first-year, he...
[19:07] Teshima
    After everything Koga said,
[19:10] Teshima
    I took my eyes off him during a moment as
    important as the start of the second day.
[19:14] Teshima
    What am I doing?
[19:16] Sakamichi
    As a first-year, Kaburagi-kun was
    doing the best he could on his own.
[19:21] Sakamichi
    In that case...
[19:24] Sakamichi
    We have to go help him!
[19:27] Sakamichi
    Let me help him, Teshima-san!
[19:28] Sakamichi
    I'll drop back and bring
    him back to the team!
[19:31] Teshima
    Don't go, Onoda!
[19:36] Teshima
    Don't. You can't fall back.
[19:38] Teshima
    I won't allow you to help him.
[19:39] Sakamichi
    What?
[19:40] Teshima
    We'll catch up to the front.
[19:42] Teshima
    That's our top priority!
[19:45] Teshima
    We were lucky to get ahead
    of Hakone Academy. Lucky!
[19:49] Teshima
    We'll use this opportunity to
    get our team together first!
[19:53] Teshima
    If Hakone Academy gets all six members
    together first, we won't stand a chance!
[19:57] Sakamichi
    I'm saying I'll go alone!
[20:00] Sakamichi
    I promise I'll bring him back!
[20:02] Sakamichi
    So—
[20:02] Teshima
    No!
[20:04] Teshima
    It was the second day when you brought
    Tadokoro-san back to the team last year, too.
[20:08] Teshima
    Is that why you think you can do it?
[20:10] Teshima
    It's different now, Onoda.
     Get that through your head.
[20:14] Teshima
    You're in a different
    position from last year.
[20:18] Teshima
    You're #1, last year's champion!
[20:21] Teshima
    Not having #1 leading your
    team is like night and day!
[20:27] Teshima
    Who will stop Manami if he attacks?
[20:29] Teshima
    Who will chase after Shinkai if he attacks?
[20:32] Teshima
    Some moves can be stopped
    just by having #1 there.
[20:35] Teshima
    You have a job to do.
[20:38] Teshima
    You can't do what you want
    like you did last year.
[20:44] Sakamichi
    Then Kaburagi-kun...
[20:46] Sakamichi
    Kaburagi-kun, who worked so hard
    during the first day's sprint...
[20:51] Teshima
    We'll leave him behind.
[20:55] Sakamichi
    Let's at least wait!
[20:56] Sakamichi
    We can drop our pace,
     so Kaburagi-kun can catch up!
[20:59] Teshima
    We can't.
[21:00] Sakamichi
    We can!
[21:00] Teshima
    No. We can't, Onoda.
[21:04] Teshima
    Look. Hakone Academy's right behind us!
[21:12] Teshima
    Sorry, Kaburagi.
[21:14] Teshima
    You worked so hard on the
    first day as a first-year.
[21:19] Teshima
    We'll catch up to the rest of the team!
[21:20] Teshima
    Eyes forward, everyone!
[21:23] Sakamichi
    Hakone Academy passed Kaburagi-kun.
[21:27] Sakamichi
    He must be in pretty bad shape.
[21:29] Sakamichi
    I need to go help him.
[21:31] Sakamichi
    But I can't.
[21:32] Teshima
    Face forward!
[21:34] Sakamichi
    Yes, sir.
[21:35] Aoyagi
    Junta, I just remembered
    I have something to do.
[21:40] Aoyagi
    Can I drop back?
[21:45] Aoyagi
    I forgot an idiot behind us.
[23:26] Doubashi
    Shut up!

[01:57] Teshima
    You must understand.
[01:58] Teshima
    Makishima-san must've said the
    same thing to Onoda last year.
[02:03] Teshima
    Dropping back is easy.
[02:05] Teshima
    But bringing someone back with
    you takes twice as much strength.
[02:10] Teshima
    It's a gamble.
[02:12] Teshima
    And we're 1,800 meters up in the mountains.
[02:16] Teshima
    You're a sprinter. You can't do it.
[02:19] Teshima
    Letting you go back to save him now
[02:22] Teshima
    would be the same as losing two
    members of our six-man team.
[02:27] Aoyagi
    We'll be stronger with all six of us.
[02:32] Aoyagi
    I'm bringing him back.
[02:34] Teshima
    Aoyagi, I can give you about seven more
    reasons why your choice is reckless.
[02:40] Teshima
    Wanna hear them?
[02:42] Aoyagi
    No, I'm good.
[02:45] Teshima
    You're going, then?
[02:46] Aoyagi
    I'm going.
[02:51] Teshima

[02:55] Sakamichi
    A-Aoyagi-san...
[02:57] Sakamichi
    You're going to rescue Kaburagi-kun
    and come back, right?
[03:01] Aoyagi
    There are no certainties in road racing.
[03:04] Aoyagi
    Junta's right. This is reckless.
[03:06] Aoyagi
    You must always be prepared
    for your plans to fail.
[03:10] Teshima
    We're third-years. This is our last race.
[03:14] Teshima
    If you can't make it back, this will
    be the last time we ride together.
SIGN    Certain
[03:22] Teshima
    Thanks for riding with me these
    last three years, Hajime.
[03:27] Teshima
    Our two-man team was the greatest.
[03:35] Aoyagi
    Yeah, Junta.
[03:39] Both
    I made it this far because of you.
[03:44] Teshima
    Our two-man team...
[03:46] Teshima
    ...is dissolved!
[03:47] Sakamichi
    Aoyagi-san!
[03:49] Aoyagi
    Don't look back, Onoda.
[03:50] Aoyagi
    Ride with Junta and reach the
    front before Hakone Academy.
[03:54] Aoyagi
    Support Imaizumi and Naruko as best you can.
[03:57] Sakamichi
    Yes, sir!
[03:58] Aoyagi
    That's your job!
[04:01] Sakamichi
    Yes!
[04:02] Aoyagi
    Junta, tell me one last thing.
[04:06] Aoyagi
    Those seven more reasons my choice
    is reckless... Is there an eighth?
[04:11] Teshima
    What? The eighth?
[04:13] Teshima
    There's...
[04:16] Teshima
    There is one.
[04:18] Teshima
    It's a tiny shred of hope!
[04:24] Aoyagi
    Then pray the eighth
     turns out to be true, Junta!
[04:28] Sakamichi
    Aoyagi-san's been swallowed
    by Hakone Academy!
[04:32] Teshima
    I know! Face forward!
[04:34] Teshima
    We'll catch them first! Raise the pace!
[04:37] Sakamichi
    Yes, sir!
[04:39] Yuto
    Sohoku's second rider has fallen.
[04:47] Kaburagi
    Damn it! I feel weak.
[04:50] Kaburagi
    Why?
[04:56] Kaburagi
    My limbs are heavy.
[04:57] Kaburagi
    My pedals are heavy.
[05:00] Kaburagi
    They've never felt this heavy before.
[05:02] Kaburagi
    Come on. Come on, strength!
[05:05] Obori
    I'm Fukuoka Josei's Obori!
[05:09] Obori
    You were showing off during yesterday's
    sprint, Sohoku's Kaburagi!
[05:13] Obori
    And now you're mine!
[05:14] Kaburagi
    You can't catch me!
[05:16] Obori
    I will!
[05:22] Teshima
    Kaburagi probably won't be able to
    group up with Aoyagi right away.
[05:26] Sakamichi
    What?
[05:28] Teshima
    He's too far behind.
[05:30] Teshima
    He may be trying to rescue him,
     but at the very least,
[05:33] Teshima
    Kaburagi will have to reach Aoyagi on his own.
[05:37] Teshima
    If his spirit is broken, and he's
    stopped moving, they'll never meet up.
[05:42] Sakamichi
    B-But...
[05:44] Teshima
    He'll be fine if someone's
    there to give him a push.
[05:48] Teshima
    But that won't happen.
[05:50] Teshima
    Before we started, nobody noticed
     that he wasn't feeling well.
[05:57] Kaburagi
    What am I going to do?
[06:00] Kaburagi
    Is this the end already?
[06:04] Koga
    Don't stop, Kaburagi!
[06:06] Kaburagi
    Huh?
[06:08] Koga
    Keep moving forward!
[06:12] Koga
    Put your feet on the pedals.
[06:14] Koga
    The race isn't over yet.
[06:17] Kaburagi
    Koga-san?
[06:19] Kaburagi
    Huh? What?
[06:21] Kaburagi
    What are you doing here?
[06:23] Kaburagi
    Did you warp here?
[06:24] Kaburagi
    Cast a magic spell?
[06:26] Koga
    There's no time to talk.
[06:28] Koga
    Focus on the race.
[06:29] Koga
    Put your feet on the pedals.
[06:32] Koga
    Move forward, Kaburagi!
[06:33] Koga
    Don't stop!
[06:36] Koga
    You must always move forward in a road race.
[06:39] Koga
    Standing still is the same as forfeiting.
[06:42] Koga
    If you abandon the Inter-High now...
[06:45] Koga
    I'll make sure you pay for it!
[06:47] Kaburagi
    Crap. He's serious.
[06:50] Kaburagi
    He wholeheartedly means
    everything he's saying.
[06:53] Kaburagi
    It has weight.
[06:55] Kaburagi
    I can feel it all the way to my fingertips.
[07:04] Kaburagi
    But...
[07:06] Koga
    Move!
[07:07] Kaburagi
    Yes, sir!
[07:08] Koga
    No matter what happens,
     keep moving forward, Kaburagi!
[07:12] Kaburagi
    Yes!
[07:13] (Flashback) Sugimoto
    Koga-san, the van is leaving soon.
[07:17] (Flashback) Koga
    Go on without me.
[07:18] (Flashback) Sugimoto
    Huh?
[07:20] (Flashback) Koga
    I'll stay here.
[07:21] (Flashback) Sugimoto
    What? Why do you want us
    to leave without you?
[07:25] (Flashback) Koga
    There's something bothering me.
[07:27] (Flashback) Koga
    You take command of the feed zone, Sugimoto.
[07:30] (Flashback) Sugimoto
    What? Wait a minute.
[07:33] Sugimoto
    What do you...
[07:33] Koga
    "I've been worried about
    Kaburagi since this morning."
[07:37] Koga
    It'd be a disaster if I said that,
    and it turned out to be true.
[07:41] (Flashback) Toji
    You're staying?
[07:43] (Flashback) Koga
    I imagined the worst case scenario.
[07:46] (Flashback) Toji
    For the team, huh?
[07:48] (Flashback) Toji
    If you stay now, you won't
    make it to the feed zone.
[07:54] (Flashback) Koga
    Sorry for being stubborn.
[07:59] Koga
    Let this hike have been a
    waste of time, Kaburagi.
[08:09] Koga
    But...
[08:11] Koga
    If you can't move...
[08:15] Koga
    Then I'll push you!
[08:18] Kaburagi
    A short push is fine,
[08:20] Kaburagi
    but a long push from anyone other than
    another rider is against the rules.
[08:23] Kaburagi
    I'll be penalized.
[08:24] Koga
    Then I'll push little by little.
[08:26] Koga
    That shouldn't be a problem.
[08:28] Koga
    Supporting you as best we can is our job!
[08:33] Kaburagi
    Koga-san...
[08:35] Koga
    Sohoku still has a chance.
[08:41] Kaburagi
    Sorry, Koga-san! Thank you!
[08:43] Koga
    So you can say "thank you," Kaburagi.
[08:48] Koga
    The old me thought it was natural.
[08:51] Koga
    That Teshima and Aoyagi
    were assigned to support us
[08:54] Koga
    because they didn't work hard enough.
[08:56] Koga
    That's not how it is.
[08:58] Koga
    We're able to move forward
    because we all support each other.
[09:01] Koga
    Believe that you'll rejoin the team!
[09:05] Kaburagi
    Yes, sir!
[09:06] Koga
    Imagine yourself returning
    to form as you ride!
[09:09] Kaburagi
    Yes, sir!
[09:10] Koga
    Keep racing and grow with
    everything you've got!
[09:16] Koga
    I know you can do it!
[09:18] Koga
    You have the most potential!
[09:20] Kaburagi
    Huh?
[09:24] Kaburagi
    Yes, sir!
[09:26] Kaburagi
    Imagine, imagine, imagine!
[09:30] Kaburagi
    Imagine your recovery!
[09:32] Ref
    Slow riders, please move to the left!
[09:36] Kaburagi
    Huh?
[09:38] Ref
    The pack is coming through!
[09:42] Koga
    The pack...
[09:48] Kaburagi
    The pack... passed us.
[09:52] Koga
    In an instant...
[09:54] Koga
    Even the pack passed him.
[10:05] Koga
    Someone stopped!
[10:09] Koga
    Go, Kaburagi! You can still make it!
[10:12] Koga
    Your teammate is waiting for you!
[10:13] Koga
    Tie your sash of wishes to his!
[10:16] Kaburagi
    Huh?
[10:18] Kaburagi
    He's right. I can see him.
[10:20] Kaburagi
    He's wearing a Sohoku jersey!
[10:25] Koga
    Go, Kaburagi!
[10:27] Koga
    Connect that thread of hope!
[10:34] Kaburagi
    Koga-san, thank you!
[10:37] Koga
    Who could have imagined it?
[10:40] Koga
    That as hands reached out to catch falling
    drops of hope, some would fall through...
[10:49] Koga
    And another hand would
    reach out to catch them.
[10:54] Kaburagi
    Thank you for waiting for me
    when I'm in such bad shape.
[11:00] Kaburagi
    Now I might be able to return to the team.
[11:03] Kaburagi
    My Inter-High...
[11:06] Kaburagi
    ...isn't over yet!
[11:08] Kaburagi
    Who is it? Teshima-san?
[11:10] Kaburagi
    Onoda-san?
[11:15] Kaburagi
    Huh?
[11:18] Kaburagi
    Aoyagi-san?
[11:19] Aoyagi
    That's right.
[11:21] Kaburagi
    Seriously?
[11:24] Kaburagi
    Aoyagi-san...
[11:26] Kaburagi
    You were riding in front of us during
    the chase, so we could reach the front.
[11:33] Kaburagi
    But you're...
[11:35] Aoyagi
    That's right.
[11:36] Kaburagi
    You're a third-year.
     This is your last Inter-high.
[11:40] Kaburagi
    But you're here now, which means...
[11:44] Aoyagi
    That's right.
[11:47] Kaburagi
    You fell behind the team, too?
[11:53] Kaburagi
    Did you fall behind the team, too?
[11:56] Aoyagi
    No!
[11:57] Aoyagi
    Can't you tell from the situation?
[11:59] Aoyagi
    I was waiting for you!
[12:01] Kaburagi
    The situation?
[12:03] Aoyagi
    Wait. Why do you look like
    you feel sorry for me?
[12:06] Kaburagi
    Oh, no.
[12:07] Kaburagi
    I understand. I get it.
[12:10] Kaburagi
    You don't want to admit that
    you fell behind the team.
[12:14] Kaburagi
    You're desperately trying to save face.
[12:16] Aoyagi
    Does he really not get it?
[12:17] Aoyagi
    He doesn't get it.
[12:19] Kaburagi
    I was hoping you were
    Onoda-san or Teshima-san.
[12:23] Aoyagi
    Who says that to someone's face?
[12:26] Aoyagi
    It doesn't matter. Follow me.
[12:31] Aoyagi
    Did Koga push him?
[12:34] Aoyagi
    You're the only one on
    Sohoku who saw this coming.
[12:38] Aoyagi
    You're the greatest support
    Sohoku has ever had, Kimitaka.
[12:44] Aoyagi
    Let's go, Kaburagi!
[12:45] Aoyagi
    We're going to reach the
    team at the front together!
[12:48] Kaburagi
    Seriously?
[12:50] Kaburagi
    You and me?
[12:52] Aoyagi
    That's right.
[12:53] Aoyagi
    It'll be hard, but we'll do it.
[12:55] Aoyagi
    So follow me. Don't fall behind.
[13:00] Aoyagi
    No complaining.
[13:03] Kaburagi
    Yes, sir!
[13:04] Kaburagi
    What's with this intensity?
[13:08] Aoyagi
    Supersonic Oxygen Muscle Climb!
[13:15] Aoyagi
    He's falling behind.
[13:18] Aoyagi
    He still doesn't feel well?
[13:20] Aoyagi
    If I raise my pace,
    Kaburagi will fall behind.
[13:25] Aoyagi
    He can't do what should be easy for him.
[13:27] Aoyagi
    What should I do?
[13:31] Kaburagi
    You're knitting your brows.
[13:32] Kaburagi
    You look pained, Aoyagi.
[13:36] Kaburagi
    You called it your "Muscle Climb,"
    but your pace has fallen so quickly.
[13:41] Aoyagi
    Whose fault is that?
[13:44] Kaburagi
    Then I don't have a choice, Aoyagi!
[13:49] Aoyagi
    Wh-What?
[13:52] Okutani
    See that? Sohoku's already
    lost two of their riders.
[13:55] Kawamoto
    They were doing so well yesterday.
[13:57] Kawamoto
    Maybe they're just not that good this year.
[14:00] Yamagiwa
    Enough, Kawamoto, Okutani.
[14:02] Okutani
    Yamagiwa-san...
[14:04] Yamagiwa
    #4 is trying to bring their
     out-of-form #6 back to the team.
[14:08] Okutani
    What? From back there?
[14:10] Kawamoto
    But that's impossible.
[14:11] Yamagiwa
    Maybe.
[14:13] Yamagiwa
    But last year they won from #170.
[14:19] Yamagiwa
    I think...
[14:21] Yamagiwa
    Sohoku might be strongest
    when they're facing adversity.
[14:28] Kaburagi
    I don't have a choice!
[14:30] Aoyagi
    What are you doing, Kaburagi?
[14:32] Aoyagi
    Why are you pulling?
[14:34] Aoyagi
    Fall back! I'll pull!
[14:36] Kaburagi
    Look at you showing off and pushing yourself.
[14:39] Kaburagi
    Fine, then.
[14:41] Kaburagi
    I'll pull, too!
[14:43] Aoyagi
    Hey, listen!
[14:45] Kaburagi
    I'm fine.
[14:47] Kaburagi
    I feel a little better now.
[14:51] Kaburagi
    Koga-san gave me power.
[14:55] Kaburagi
    "Grow."
[14:56] Kaburagi
    "You have great potential."
[14:59] Kaburagi
    You should quit showing off
     and rest behind me, Aoyagi.
[15:03] Aoyagi
    That's Aoyagi-*san *to you!
[15:05] Aoyagi
    I'll see how he does and
     move up if he drops his pace.
[15:12] Aoyagi
    Kaburagi's still pulling.
[15:17] Aoyagi
    Well, well. He's still pulling.
[15:20] Kaburagi
    You're a lot of trouble, Aoyagi.
[15:24] Aoyagi
    Huh? He's still pulling?
[15:27] Aoyagi
    What's going on?
[15:30] Aoyagi
    He's faster when he's pulling
    than when he's being pulled.
[15:36] Kaburagi
    Are you keeping up, Aoyagi?
[15:39] Aoyagi
    Yeah.
[15:40] Aoyagi
    How is this happening? But it's true.
[15:44] Aoyagi
    I'm a little surprised, though.
[15:46] Kaburagi
    By what? The view?
[15:49] Aoyagi
    I've never heard of the one being
    rescued pulling for his rescuer.
[15:55] Kaburagi
    The view is nice.
[15:59] Kaburagi
    Half of road racing is mental.
[16:02] Kaburagi
    If your spirit is broken, it's over.
[16:04] Kaburagi
    But if you have a goal, you can keep moving.
[16:08] Kaburagi
    He's doing his best to
    move forward to help me.
[16:14] Kaburagi
    He's still confused, though.
[16:17] Kaburagi
    Aoyagi, how are you feeling?
[16:20] Aoyagi
    Like I've been saying, I feel great.
[16:22] Kaburagi
    There you go again.
[16:24] Kaburagi
    You can be honest with me.
[16:27] Aoyagi
    In any case, he isn't just an idiot.
[16:31] Aoyagi
    He's a special idiot!
[16:35] Kaburagi
    Breathe with me!
[16:37] Kaburagi
    Ready and...
[16:41] Aoyagi
    This just might be...
[16:47] Kawamoto
    But isn't one of Sohoku's
    riders out of sorts?
[16:50] Yamagiwa
    That's right. The unexpected doesn't happen.
[16:54] Yamagiwa
    If they're able to catch up to the pack,
[16:56] Yamagiwa
    it'll be in a style that defies common sense.
[17:00] Rider A
    Someone's coming up from behind!
[17:06] Rider B
    It's the two Sohoku riders!
[17:09] Okutani
    Th-The redhead is in front!
[17:11] Kawamoto
    Isn't it the other way around?
[17:12] Kawamoto
    Didn't #4 go to save him?
[17:18] Kaburagi
    I see them!
[17:19] Kaburagi
    It's the pack that passed us earlier!
[17:24] Kaburagi
    We caught up to them!
[17:26] Aoyagi
    He's impressive.
[17:28] Aoyagi
    Just by imagining he was saving me,
     he pulled me until we could see the pack.
[17:36] Kaburagi
    We're almost there!
[17:38] Kaburagi
    Once we catch up and enter the pack,
    you'll be able to rest, Aoyagi!
[17:42] Aoyagi
    Yeah, you will.
[17:43] Aoyagi
    Your speech has gotten really casual.
[17:48] Kaburagi
    Let us reach them!
[17:51] Kaburagi
    Docking!
[17:53] Rider C
    Sohoku returned to the pack!
[17:56] Rider D
    But they were stopped earlier! Seriously?
[17:58] Rider E
    Who are those guys?
[18:02] Kaburagi
    We joined the pack...
[18:19] Aoyagi
    Did you feel exhausted for a second?
[18:22] Kaburagi
    What? N-No.
[18:24] Kaburagi
    I was just looking at a
    rare bug on the ground.
[18:28] Aoyagi
    What kind of bug?
[18:29] Kaburagi
    Huh? Uh, kinda like a rhinoceros beetle or a
     stag beetle. It's called a rhinostag beetle.
[18:37] Kaburagi
    So he barely made it through the first stage.
[18:40] Aoyagi
    I'd like to catch up to the team soon,
[18:43] Aoyagi
    but he's still not in top shape.
[18:45] Aoyagi
    It'll be easier for him in the pack,
    where there's less air resistance.
[18:49] Aoyagi
    I'll let him rest for a while.
[18:51] Kaburagi
    Anyway, you should get some rest, Aoyagi.
[18:53] Aoyagi
    Yeah, you should.
[18:56] Aoyagi
    But...
[18:59] Aoyagi
    Let's move up, Kaburagi!
[19:01] Kaburagi
    Huh?
[19:05] Aoyagi
    I get it. We're counting our opponents.
[19:09] Kaburagi
    One, two, three, four,
    five, six, seven, eight...
[19:11] Aoyagi
    I don't see them.
[19:13] Aoyagi
    Have they already left?
[19:15] Kaburagi
    Huh?
[19:17] Kaburagi
    Kyoto Fushimi's not in the pack.
[19:20] Aoyagi
    His ability to sniff out his
    opponents is first rate.
[19:25] Kaburagi
    This isn't good.
[19:28] Kaburagi
    Did I notice first?
[19:30] Aoyagi
    That doesn't matter.
[19:31] Kaburagi
    So you agree it was me, then?
[19:34] Aoyagi
    They have #116 this year, too.
[19:38] Aoyagi
    If they meet up with Midousuji...
[19:41] Komari
    M-Muscles!
[19:44] Aoyagi
    Sohoku will be at a massive disadvantage!
[19:48] Aoyagi
    The other strong teams are missing, too.
[19:51] Kaburagi
    Then we don't have time to rest, Aoyagi!
[19:54] Aoyagi
    I could say the same thing to you.
[19:57] Kaburagi
    We're ditching this pack, Aoyagi!
[20:01] Rider C
    Sohoku's pulling ahead!
[20:12] Aoyagi
    Did you see a rare bug?
[20:17] Aoyagi
    He understands the situation,
    but his body won't move.
[20:21] Aoyagi
    He must be frustrated.
[20:24] Aoyagi
    Did you see this coming too, Junta?
[20:28] Sakamichi
    What? They won't be able to escape the pack?
[20:31] Teshima
    Yeah, even if they do make it to the pack.
[20:35] Teshima
    Leaving the pack is fairly difficult.
[20:39] Teshima
    That's reason four of seven
    that his choice was reckless.
[20:43] Sakamichi
    Is it really impossible?
[20:47] Teshima
    It's a different story if he's
    made special preparations.
[20:51] Sakamichi
    Special preparations?
[20:55] Aoyagi
    Kaburagi, do you want to leave
    the pack, no matter what?
[20:59] Kaburagi
    Of course, damn it.
[21:02] Aoyagi
    What if there was a way?
[21:04] Kaburagi
    Huh?
[21:06] Kaburagi
    Do you have something?
[21:09] Aoyagi
    I wasn't expecting to use this here.
[21:11] Kaburagi
    I'll do anything.
[21:13] Kaburagi
    Tell me!
[21:19] Aoyagi
    It's this.

[21:24] Kaburagi
    I knew God would come through.
[21:25] Kaburagi
    He's written a hint on it.
[21:27] Kaburagi
    The princess...?
[21:31] Aoyagi
    Those are the lyrics to a certain song.
[21:35] Kaburagi
    "You are the princess"?

    Hikki the Third, grow up big and strong!
[23:18] Aoyagi
    Hey.
[23:20] Kaburagi
    Huh?
[23:21] Aoyagi
    What are you doing?
[23:24] Kaburagi
    Wait!
[23:28] Kaburagi
    Hey! What was that for?
[23:30] Kaburagi
    What about my Hikki-san?
[23:32] Kaburagi
    You idiot!
[23:35] Aoyagi
    Is he still a kid?

    It is. Listen closely.

    Princesses and magic are so lame!
[07:16] Aoyagi
    That's the most important part.
[07:19] Aoyagi
    Did you get all that?
[07:25] Kaburagi
    He's serious...
[07:28] Aoyagi
    Were you lying when you said you'd
    do anything to escape the pack?
[07:34] Aoyagi
    Would you refuse to sing this song,
    even if it increased your chance by 1%?
[07:39] Kaburagi
    No way! It can't do that!
[07:41] Kaburagi
    Calm down!
[07:42] Kaburagi
    It's a song! An anime song, no less!
[07:44] Kaburagi
    There's no way it'll help!
[07:47] Aoyagi
    I don't know if it will or won't.
[07:49] Aoyagi
    But you can't know for
    certain until you try it!
[07:54] Kaburagi
    Sing loudly in the middle of the pack?
[07:57] Kaburagi
    He's out of his mind!
[08:00] Kaburagi
    But Aoyagi is serious.
[08:03] Kaburagi
    How can I know when I haven't tried it?
[08:06] Kaburagi
    He's right.
[08:08] Kaburagi
    Damn it! I don't believe this!
[08:10] Kaburagi
    I don't get it!
[08:11] Kaburagi
    But remember, this is a note from God.
[08:17] Kaburagi
    If this will help me move forward...
[08:23] Kaburagi
    Okay!
[08:24] Kaburagi
    I'm a man!
[08:26] Kaburagi
    I'll sing the anime song!
[08:29] Kaburagi
    As loud as I can!
[08:31] Aoyagi
    Keep singing!
[08:33] Aoyagi
    We'll escape the pack!
[08:35] Aoyagi
    Match your gears and cadence
    to the song's rhythm and mine!
[08:38] Kaburagi
    Yes, sir!
[08:39] Aoyagi
    "Princess, Princess!"
[08:41] Aoyagi
    Go!
[08:42] Kaburagi
    Princess, Princess!
[08:44] Rider 5
    Now they're singing together.
[08:46] Rider 6
    We're in the middle of a race.
[08:48] Kaburagi
    Seriously? This is really embarrassing
    when you sing it out loud!
[08:53] Aoyagi
    "Lovely chance pancake girl!"
[08:55] Aoyagi
    Go!
[08:56] Kaburagi
    L-Lovely chance pancake girl...
[08:59] Kaburagi
    Seriously?
[09:02] Aoyagi
    Okay, one more time from the top!
[09:05] Kaburagi
    Huh? Uh, yes, sir!
[09:07] Kaburagi
    We're singing this song more than once?
[09:10] Aoyagi
    "Princess, Princess!"
[09:11] Aoyagi
    Go!
[09:12] Kaburagi
    Princess, Princess!
[09:14] Rider 5
    Stop, Sohoku.
[09:16] Rider 6
    My stomach hurts.
[09:18] Aoyagi
    I love, love, love you!
[09:20] Aoyagi
    Princess! Princess!
[09:21] Kaburagi
    I-I love, love, love you!
[09:24] Kaburagi
    Princess! Princess!
[09:26] Kaburagi
    Damn. Damn!
[09:27] Kaburagi
    This is so lame!
[09:30] Kaburagi
    Singing out loud...
[09:31] Kaburagi
    This is so embarrassing!
[09:34] Aoyagi
    "Even with a spell to make you bigger!"
[09:39] Kaburagi
    But I'm racing right now.
[09:42] Aoyagi
    "You're still my princess!"
[09:45] Aoyagi
    Go!
[09:47] Kaburagi
    Not fighting during a race
    would be even lamer!
[09:52] Kaburagi
    You're still my princess!
[09:54] Aoyagi
    I can't hear you!
[09:55] Aoyagi
    You are who you are!
[09:58] Kaburagi
    Yes, sir!
[09:59] Kaburagi
    You are who you are!
[10:01] Rider 7
    Sohoku's pulling ahead!
[10:02] Rider 7
    They're trying to leave?
[10:03] Rider 8
    There's no way!
[10:05] Rider 8
    They'll fall back again!
[10:06] Aoyagi
    Lovely chance pancake girl!
[10:10] Kaburagi
    Lovely chance pancake...
[10:13] Aoyagi
    Keep at it, Kaburagi!
[10:15] Aoyagi
    If you stop pedaling now,
     you'll fall back into the pack!
[10:19] (Flashback) Tadokoro
    The important thing about using
     it is to sing the whole thing.
[10:25] (Flashback) Tadokoro
    I don't know why, but you'll
    move farther that way.
[10:32] Aoyagi
    Kaburagi, focus!
[10:34] Aoyagi
    Forget what's behind you!
[10:36] Aoyagi
    Focus on the song!
[10:39] Kaburagi
    On the song?
[10:40] Kaburagi
    Your instructions are insane, Aoyagi.
[10:43] Kaburagi
    But I'll do it if it'll make me move forward!
[10:47] Kaburagi
    Got it!
[10:50] Aoyagi
    "Even with a spell to make you bigger!"
[10:54] Aoyagi
    Go!
[10:55] Kaburagi
    Even with a spell to make you bigger!
[10:59] Aoyagi
    "You're still my princess!"
[11:01] Aoyagi
    Go!
[11:02] Kaburagi
    You're still my princess!
[11:05] Aoyagi
    Sing from your stomach!
[11:07] Kaburagi
    Yes, sir!
[11:08] Aoyagi
    We're breaking through!
[11:10] Kaburagi
    Yes, sir!
[11:12] Aoyagi
    You are who you are!
[11:19] Both
    Princess!
[11:22] Rider 9
    They escaped!
[11:24] Rider 10
    What was that weird song?
[11:27] Aoyagi
    Tadokoro-san, the song helped!
[11:32] Aoyagi
    Just you wait, Junta.
[11:34] Aoyagi
    I promise I'll bring him back to the team!
[11:37] Both
    Love Hime, fight!
[11:45] Yuto
    I see Sohoku in front of us.
[11:51] Yuto
    Can I go after them?
[11:54] Izumida
    Yeah. Take them out.
[12:03] Sakamichi
    Teshima-san, they're coming!
[12:05] Sakamichi
    Hakone Academy is closing in on us!
[12:08] Teshima
    Yeah, but Imaizumi and Naruko are close.
[12:12] Teshima
    If we keep going, we should reach them first!
[12:15] Sakamichi
    Yes, sir!
[12:16] Teshima
    We'll meet up with them as
    long as nothing happens.
[12:22] Yuto
    In that case, I'm off, Izumida-san!
[12:26] Izumida
    Yeah. They're trying to
    reach the front before us.
[12:31] Izumida
    Go shatter their spirits...
[12:34] Izumida
    Shinkai Yuto!
[12:37] Yuto
    I'm finally coming, Mountain King.
[12:47] Yuto
    To my race against you!
[12:53] Doubashi
    How can he climb so fast?
[12:55] Doubashi
    He got 200 meters ahead
    in the blink of an eye.
[12:58] Doubashi
    Does that idiot always climb
    so fast when he's alone?
[13:03] Doubashi
    Climbers creep me out.
[13:08] Yuto
    I'll catch up to you.
[13:10] Yuto
    Soon!
[13:12] Sakamichi
    One Hakone Academy rider is coming!
[13:16] Sakamichi
    What is this? His pressure is incredible...
[13:19] Sakamichi
    Who is it?
[13:22] Sakamichi
    That's...
[13:25] Sakamichi
    #16! It's Shinkai-kun!
[13:28] Yuto
    Gotcha!
[13:31] Sakamichi
    He's fast!
[13:32] Teshima
    Is he's trying to catch up
    to the front by himself?
[13:35] Teshima
    No, those eyes...
[13:37] Yuto
    Yeah!
[13:38] Teshima
    He's trying to take us out!
[13:42] Teshima
    We don't have a choice.
[13:44] Teshima
    Go, Onoda! Alone!
[13:46] Sakamichi
    What?
[13:48] Teshima
    They're trying to use #16 to
    stop us and reach the front first!
[13:53] Teshima
    You have to go on alone!
[13:55] Sakamichi
    What about you?
[13:58] Teshima
    I'll stop him! I'll form a wall!
[14:03] Teshima
    Ride as hard as you can to
    reach Imaizumi and Naruko!
[14:10] Sakamichi
    Yes, sir!
[14:10] Teshima
    Go, Onoda!
[14:14] Sakamichi
    Yes, sir!
[14:18] Teshima
    #16 is coming.
[14:20] Teshima
    He didn't do much yesterday.
[14:23] Teshima
    His strength is unknown.
[14:25] Teshima
    But he's a regular on Hakone
    Academy's team as a first-year.
[14:30] Teshima
    That alone tells me he's unbelievably strong.
[14:34] Teshima
    And he's the younger
    brother of Shinkai Hayato,
[14:37] Teshima
    Hakone Academy's ace sprinter last year.
[14:40] Teshima
    The data we have on him is
    so good it makes me sick.
[14:45] Teshima
    But...
[14:47] Teshima
    I'll stop him!
[14:48] Teshima
    I've teamed up with Aoyagi countless
    times to claim the winner's podium!
[14:53] Teshima
    Run, Onoda!
[14:56] Teshima
    I'll form a wall and stop him!
[15:03] Teshima
    What happened?
[15:04] Teshima
    He was heading straight forward.
[15:07] Teshima
    But he changed his course at
    the last second to pass me.
[15:10] Teshima
    On top of that, he drove his wheel towards
    the right and faked a pass on my right side.
[15:20] Teshima
    His bike control is unbelievably fast!
[15:23] Teshima
    But we have our own plans!
[15:28] Teshima
    I've heard about him at races
    from other guys from Kanagawa.
[15:31] Teshima
    They call Shinkai Hayato's brother the
    Peak Hornet, the hornet of the summit.
[15:39] Teshima
    So it's his agile movements
    that make him like a hornet.
[15:43] Teshima
    You're not going anywhere!
[15:47] Teshima
    I'm the man who climbs
    through sheer effort...
[15:50] Teshima
    Teshima Junta!
[15:55] Teshima
    He's close!
[15:57] Teshima
    He's too close!
[16:01] Teshima
    The shoulder?
[16:02] Teshima
    Whoa!
[16:05] Yuto
    Later.
[16:07] Teshima
    Damn it.
[16:12] Teshima
    He's gone.
[16:14] Teshima
    I don't know what happened
    for a second there.
[16:17] Teshima
    My entire body was pushed
    off the asphalt.
[16:21] Teshima
    His speed...
[16:23] Teshima
    His timing...
[16:24] Teshima
    In the time it took me to do
    one thing, he was doing five.
[16:29] Teshima
    Not only that...
[16:31] Teshima
    But he did it without mercy or hesitation.
[16:34] Yuto
    #5 has fallen.
[16:37] Teshima
    That's the Peak Hornet...
[16:40] Teshima
    Damn.
[16:42] Teshima
    Watch out, Onoda!
[16:51] Yuto
    It's already time for our race.
[16:55] Sakamichi
    Shinkai-kun?
[16:56] Sakamichi
    Huh? What's he doing there?
[16:59] Yuto
    Let's race, Mountain King.
[17:04] Yuto
    Is your answer "yes"?
[17:08] Sakamichi
    Teshima-san said he'd stop him, but...
[17:12] Sakamichi
    Um, Teshi—
[17:14] Yuto
    Teshi?
[17:16] Yuto
    Oh, Teshima-san. You mean #5?
[17:20] Yuto
    He...
[17:24] Yuto
    ...fell behind while chatting.
[17:27] Yuto
    I broke past him easily.
[17:32] Sakamichi
    He caught up to me!
[17:34] Sakamichi
    He's close!
[17:35] Yuto
    Until we reach them.
[17:37] Sakamichi
    Huh?
[17:38] Yuto
    We'll see who reaches the front first.
[17:40] Yuto
    How does that sound?
[17:43] Yuto
    You're going to reach them
    before Hakone Academy, right?
[17:47] Yuto
    Aren't those your orders?
[17:49] Yuto
    Forget about rules and games.
[17:52] Yuto
    You understand, don't you?
[17:55] Yuto
    This is a race.
[17:58] Yuto
    Your strategy requires you to
    stop me and reach your team first.
[18:04] Yuto
    Otherwise, your loss is certain.
[18:10] Yuto
    You have no choice but to fight me.
[18:14] Yuto
    Now, let's race. Your answer...
[18:18] Yuto
    It's "yes," isn't it?
[18:20] Sakamichi
    When did he...
[18:24] Yuto
    The race has already begun!
[18:29] Sakamichi
    He's fast!
[18:32] Sakamichi
    He's gone.
[18:34] Sakamichi
    I need to catch up.
[18:36] Sakamichi
    Shinkai-kun...
[18:38] Sakamichi
    He's fast. He's strong.
[18:41] Sakamichi
    But...
[18:42] (Flashback) Teshima
    You have to go on alone!
[18:44] Sakamichi
    Yes, sir!
[18:45] (Flashback) Teshima
    You're #1.
[18:48] (Flashback) Teshima
    You have a job to do.
[18:50] Sakamichi
    Yes, sir!
[18:52] (Flashback) Aoyagi
    What did you learn from Makishima-san?
[18:54] Sakamichi
    Yes, sir!
[18:55] (Flashback) Teshima
    Ride as hard as you can to
    reach Imaizumi and Naruko!
[19:01] Sakamichi
    Yes, sir!
[19:04] Sakamichi
    Shinkai-kun...
[19:06] Sakamichi
    I'll pass you and reach the front!
[19:10] (Flashback) Aoyagi
    Think you can't do what you did last year?
[19:15] (Flashback) Aoyagi
    Of course not.
[19:17] (Flashback) Aoyagi
    Because you've gotten stronger.
[19:23] Sakamichi
    Stronger!
[19:25] (Flashback) Kikuta
    I'm Kikuta from class 4.
    I'm on the baseball team.
[19:27] (Flashback) Kikuta
    Let's race.
[19:29] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    Huh?
[19:30] (Flashback) Kikuta
    The bicycle club's the national
    champion, right? That's amazing.
[19:34] (Flashback) Kikuta
    But I'm a regular and the
    king of stolen bases.
[19:36] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    I-I'll pass. I doubt I'd stand a chance.
[19:39] (Flashback) Girl 1
    What, what?
[19:40] (Flashback) Girl 2
    You're racing Onoda-kun?
[19:43] (Flashback) Kikuta
    Whoever touches the knob
     of the door to the roof wins.
[19:46] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    What? B-But I...
[19:48] (Flashback) Boy 1
    Ready...
[19:49] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    Uh, but...
[19:50] (Flashback) Boy 1
    Go!
[19:57] Sakamichi
    I always flinch when I hear the word "race."
[20:10] (Flashback) Kikuta
    Come on, give me everything you've got.
[20:12] (Flashback) Kikuta
    This isn't fun.
[20:14] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    Huh? But I am trying.
[20:19] Sakamichi
    Because I don't really like races.
[20:23] Sakamichi
    I don't particularly like them,
     whether I win or lose.
[20:29] Sakamichi
    But...
[20:31] Sakamichi
    If you...
[20:33] Sakamichi
    If you're attacking the team
     Makishima-san entrusted to me...
[20:39] Sakamichi
    If you're going to attack
     Imaizumi-kun and Naruko-kun...
[20:49] Sakamichi
    Then my answer to your challenge to a race...
[20:54] Sakamichi
    My answer is yes!
[21:02] Yuto
    I thought that got me a hundred meters ahead.
[21:05] Yuto
    But he's already caught up. Incredible.
[21:09] Yuto
    No wonder he's the Mountain King!
[21:11] Yuto
    Man. Oh, man!
[21:14] Yuto
    Those eyes are fantastic!
[21:16] Yuto
    They're full of fighting spirit!
[21:20] Yuto
    Then show me!
[21:25] Yuto
    Show me the high-cadence climb
    I've heard so much about!
[21:31] Yuto
    No way.
[21:33] Yuto
    What kind of climbing ability is that?
[21:36] Yuto
    It's even crazier than they say!
[21:38] Yuto
    You're so strong! So strong, Mountain King!

[02:19] Yuto
    I was trying to surprise you.
[02:21] Yuto
    I'm even leaning against your shoulder.
[02:24] Yuto
    But that's odd.
[02:26] Yuto
    You won't budge.
[02:29] Sakamichi
    I'm going ahead of you.
[02:32] Yuto
    This is the power of the Mountain King.
[02:34] Yuto
    This is the Mountain King's turf.
[02:36] Yuto
    I thought you'd be blown away like earlier.
[02:39] Sakamichi
    I'm going ahead.
[02:41] Yuto
    You've gotten stronger in the past year.
[02:43] Yuto
    Far stronger than the rumors say.
[02:46] Yuro
    Yeah!
[02:50] Yuto
    You're giving me chills.
[02:52] Yuto
    I get to race you, the Mountain King,

[02:59] Yuto
    You're incredible. Incredible.

    You're keeping up.

    He climbs like there's a

    Yeah!
[03:16] Yuto
    Try to keep up, Mountain King!

    You truly are interesting, Mountain King!
[03:46] Sakamichi
    He accelerated again just when I caught up.
[03:49] Yuto
    A man's spirit is broken when
    his opponent accelerates
[03:52] Yuto
    over and over right before his eyes.
[03:53] Yuto
    He believes his efforts will be
    wasted even if he tries again.

    I'll keep pulling ahead of the Mountain King
     until his spirit is broken!
[04:03] Yuto
    Over and over!
[04:16] Yuto
    Wow. You really are amazing.
[04:19] Yuto
    Your mental strength is incredible.
[04:21] Yuto
    That would have stopped an ordinary climber.

    Exhausting yourself in the process.
[04:31] Yuto
    I'd like to know the secret
    behind your strength—
[04:35] Yuto
    Are you trying to pass me,
    Mountain King Onoda?
[04:39] Yuto
    It can't be.
[04:39] Yuto
    You're try to pass me?
[04:41] Yuto
    Seriously?
[04:43] Yuto
    He's trying to get to the front.
[04:45] Yuto
    Even though we're locked in battle.
[04:47] Yuto
    Even though I've attacked numerous times.
[04:49] Yuto
    Have I been beneath his
    consideration this whole time?
[04:51] Yuto
    What is this, anyway?
[04:54] Yuto
    His pedaling...
[04:56] Yuto
    It's so plain and steady.
[04:58] Yuto
    It's not special at all.
[04:59] Yuto
    It doesn't even seem particularly fast.
[05:02] Yuto
    But for some reason, I can't
    catch up to him easily.
[05:05] Yuto
    It's like he's moving forward with certainty.
[05:07] Yuto
    Step by step.
[05:09] Yuto
    And with a strange rhythm.
[05:11] Sakamichi
    I can't.
[05:13] Sakamichi
    I need to take this seriously,
[05:15] Sakamichi
    but for some reason I keep 
    hearing the* Love Hime*
[05:17] Sakamichi
    season two opening theme inside my head.
[05:19] Yuto
    That's the secret behind the
    Mountain King's strength?
[05:23] Yuto
    Yeah!
[05:30] Yuto
    I'm hurt.
[05:32] Yuto
    You passed me with such ordinary riding.
[05:35] Yuto
    I'm going all-out against you.
[05:39] Sakamichi
    You're plenty strong.
[05:43] Sakamichi
    I think you're amazing.
[05:46] Sakamichi
    But Teshima-san told me to reach the front.
[05:51] Yuto
    He told you to?
[05:53] Yuto
    How strange.
[05:56] Yuto
    Do you ride because you're told to?
[05:59] Yuto
    Don't you not have a will of your own?
[06:01] Yuto
    Are you a robot? A doll?
[06:05] Sakamichi
    I'm told what to do and do as I'm told.
[06:09] Sakamichi
    If that makes people happy...
[06:12] Sakamichi
    Then that makes me happy, too.
[06:15] Yuto
    Goosebumps...
[06:17] Yuto
    These are different from the ones earlier.
[06:20] Yuto
    Who is this guy?
[06:22] Yuto
    I don't understand him.
[06:24] Yuto
    I have to beat him.
[06:28] Yuto
    Can you hear the cheers of the fans?
[06:32] Yuto
    The front is just ahead.
[06:34] Yuto
    Let's see who reaches the front first.
[06:37] Yuto
    It'll be our final race.
[06:43] Imaizumi
    Naruko!
[06:44] Naruko
    What, hotshot?
[06:45] Imaizumi
    They're coming from behind.
[06:48] Naruko
    I know.
[06:49] Imaizumi
    You're not going to check?
[06:52] Naruko
    I don't need to look.
[06:54] Naruko
    It's Onoda-kun.
[06:57] Naruko
    I know this rising pressure.
[07:00] Naruko
    Onoda-kun is coming.
[07:02] Naruko
    But...
[07:03] Naruko
    Feels like things didn't
    go quite according to plan.
[07:06] Imaizumi
    Yeah.
[07:07] Naruko
    There aren't many of them.
[07:09] Naruko
    Onoda-kun and one Hakone Academy rider.
[07:11] Naruko
    According to this morning's meeting,
    our strategy was to group up as a team.
[07:15] Naruko
    Did something happen?
[07:18] Imaizumi
    So Teshima-san decided to send just
    Onoda after Hakone Academy attacked.
[07:24] Imaizumi
    Either way, we need to get ready.
[07:26] Imaizumi
    They could try to make a
    move once they're together.
[07:28] Imaizumi
    Things will change depending on
     who reaches the front first.
[07:32] Imaizumi
    And if Onoda's being pursued by
    that guy's younger brother, #16...
[07:37] Imaizumi
    I know him well.
[07:40] Imaizumi
    After all, we fought one another
    at last year's Inter-High.
[07:43] Imaizumi
    He's strong and...
[07:45] Imaizumi
    ...obsessed with victory!
[07:48] Yuto
    Yeah!
[07:52] Yuto
    Mountain King, I'm starting to understand
    how you won the final climb last year!
[07:59] Yuto
    Plain and steady.
[08:01] Yuto
    There's nothing flashy or cool about you.
[08:03] Yuto
    Just plain, but with all your might.
[08:04] Yuto
    Steadily, steadily, steadily.
[08:06] Yuto
    You never stop.
[08:08] Yuto
    "You can't win like that."
[08:09] Yuto
    "That's too plain to fight."
[08:12] Yuto
    I'm sure you've heard that countless times.
[08:14] Yuto
    You suffered their criticisms and
    proved them wrong through brute force.
[08:19] Yuto
    Didn't you?
[08:19] Yuto
    And so you ascended to your throne.
[08:22] Yuto
    You wanted to shut them up.
[08:25] Yuto
    Am I wrong?
[08:27] Yuto
    It must've felt good.
[08:30] Yuto
    How was it?
[08:31] Yuto
    How did it feel to prove everyone wrong?
[08:33] Yuto
    To overthrow conventional wisdom?
[08:36] Yuto
    Did it make you shake?
[08:37] Yuto
    Did it give you pins and needles?
[08:39] Sakamichi
    At last year's Inter-High, after the race,
     my hands went numb.
[08:45] Sakamichi
    My entire body was shaking from exhaustion.
[08:48] Sakamichi
    I'm sorry, though.
[08:50] Sakamichi
    There wasn't a single person
     who said I couldn't win that way!
[09:01] Sakamichi
    They were all so much nicer than I deserved.
[09:05] Sakamichi
    My senior Makishima-san gave
    me a lot of encouragement.
[09:10] Sakamichi
    My classmate Imaizumi-kun...
[09:13] Sakamichi
    ...said he believed in me!
[09:19] Yuto
    Huh. I see.
[09:22] Yuto
    Is he serious?
[09:24] Yuto
    He rides for the team? For one jersey?
[09:29] Yuto
    Seriously?
[09:31] Yuto
    So these people really do exist.
[09:34] Yuto
    What other people think
    doesn't affect how I ride.
[09:41] Yuto
    It seems our attitudes towards
    victory are fundamentally different.
[09:47] Yuto
    I knew it.
[09:49] Yuto
    I have to beat him.
[09:56] Yuto
    In that case, shall I prove it to him?
[09:59] Sakamichi
    Shinkai-kun!
[10:01] Sakamichi
    He moved ahead. He's fast.
[10:04] Sakamichi
    He's standing. He's dancing.
[10:05] Sakamichi
    He's accelerating.
[10:07] Sakamichi
    I need to keep up.
[10:09] Yuto
    Prove I can achieve an overwhelming victory
[10:11] Yuto
    over the man who sits on the throne my way!
[10:15] Yuto
    Fall, Mountain King!
[10:17] Sakamichi
    He's fast!
[10:18] Fan 1
    Hakone Academy jumped ahead!
[10:19] Fan 2
    He's trying to get ahead and
    meet up with the front first!
[10:23] Sakamichi
    He got so far ahead before
    I could even start dancing!
[10:28] Sakamichi
    Let me catch up!
[10:30] Fan 1
    If Hakone Academy catches up to
    the front, it'll be two on two!
[10:33] Fan 2
    The power balance will be a draw!
[10:35] Fan 2
    Either could attack at any time!
[10:37] Yuto
    I'll prove it...
[10:41] Yuto
    By defeating the enemies behind me!
[10:44] Yuto
    I'll prove it by pulling ahead!
[10:47] Yuto
    That's my...
[10:49] (Flashback) Shinkai
    This is Yuto.
[10:50] (Flashback) Shinkai
    He's my younger brother.
[10:52] (Flashback) Shinkai
    He started biking, too.
[10:54] (Flashback) Shinkai
    Be nice to him.
[10:56] (Flashback) Shinkai
    Honestly, he's got talent.
[10:59] Yuto
    Talent?
[11:00] Yuto
    This is...
[11:02] Yuto
    Shinkai Yuto's way!
[11:05] Sakamichi
    Turn!
[11:07] Sakamichi
    Catch up!
[11:09] Fan 3
    Hakone Academy's faster!
[11:11] Fan 4
    Sohoku's #1 can't close the gap!
[11:13] Yuto
    Don't worry, he won't catch up!
[11:16] Yuto
    I...
[11:19] Yuto
    I'll get there first!
[11:22] Yuto
    Yeah! First!
[11:25] Yuto
    I'm here, Ashikiba-san!
[11:27] Yuto
    Let's keep going.
[11:28] Yuto
    Let's leave Sohoku and
    their Mountain King behind.
[11:31] Yuto
    I beat the Mountain King!
[11:34] Ashikiba
    No. We shouldn't, Yuto.
[11:37] Yuto
    Why not?
[11:39] Yuto
    The Mountain King is behind us.
[11:40] Yuto
    If grouping up was the battle,
    I beat the Mountain King.
[11:43] Ashikiba
    Sohoku...
[11:45] Ashikiba
    Imaizumi and Naruko...
[11:48] Ashikiba
    Matched Onoda's acceleration,
    and deliberately dropped back.
[11:52] Ashikiba
    They've already met up with him.
[11:55] Imaizumi
    You're always causing trouble, Onoda.
[11:58] Sakamichi
    Thanks.
[12:01] Naruko
    We've been waiting for you, Onoda-kun.
[12:04] Ashikiba
    If grouping up was the battle...
[12:07] Ashikiba
    It's a draw, Yuto.
[12:12] Yuto
    I see.
[12:14] Yuto
    I was going all out at the end.
[12:17] Yuto
    I thought I'd pulled ahead
    and beaten the Mountain King.
[12:22] Yuto
    I never thought Sohoku's riders
    in the front would fall back.
[12:28] Yuto
    They got us.
[12:31] Yuto
    If this were the finish line, I would've won.
[12:36] Ashikiba
    Team Sohoku...
[12:39] Ashikiba
    ...senses each other's vibrations
    and turns that into strength.
[12:43] Ashikiba
    That's the kind of team they are.
[12:45] Imaizumi
    Good. Onoda's here.
[12:47] Imaizumi
    We have the strength of tag #1.
[12:49] Imaizumi
    This will put a lot of
    pressure on Hakone Academy.
[12:52] Imaizumi
    This climb will end soon,
     and we'll enter the downhill.
[12:55] Imaizumi
    For now, the battle for the second day's
    long climb to the pass is going well.
[13:01] Naruko
    How was Shinkai-san's little brother?
[13:04] Sakamichi
    He was fast. It was like magic.
[13:06] Imaizumi
    Now we just have to wait for
    the other three to catch up.
[13:14] Sakamichi
    Um, well...
[13:16] Sakamichi
    Imaizumi-kun...
[13:18] Sakamichi
    Naruko-kun...
[13:21] Ashikiba
    They're strong.
[13:23] Yuto
    If you say so, then they might be.
[13:27] Yuto
    Strong, huh?
[13:28] Ashikiba
    Especially when they're together.
[13:31] Yuto
    Oh, that.
[13:33] Yuto
    You mean when their team is together?
[13:36] Yuto
    In that case...
[13:39] Yuto
    That might not be a problem.
[13:41] Imaizumi
    What?
[13:42] Naruko
    Showoff and Aoyagi-san fell behind?
[13:49] Naruko
    You're joking.
[13:51] Naruko
    Two of our six members?
[13:54] Naruko
    It's still only the start of the second day!
[13:56] Sakamichi
    Aoyagi-san said he'd come back, but...
[14:01] Sakamichi
    Teshima-san said we'd complete
    the rest of the race as four.
[14:08] Naruko
    Oh, right.
[14:10] Naruko
    What about Kuroda-san?
[14:11] Naruko
    He fell during the finish line
    sprint and started in the back.
[14:15] Naruko
    Is Hakone Academy climbing as three?
[14:18] Naruko
    That would mean they're missing one guy, too.
[14:20] Sakamichi
    Hakone Academy...
[14:22] Sakamichi
    They dropped back together
    to collect Kuroda-san.
[14:26] Sakamichi
    They're climbing with all their members!
[14:31] Imaizumi
    Who said we were doing well,
     Imaizumi Shunsuke?
[14:37] Imaizumi
    This climb will end soon.
[14:39] Imaizumi
    Are they trying to get here before it does?
[14:43] Naruko
    Is Hakone Academy trying to gather
    all its members during this climb?
[14:47] Sakamichi
    Teshima-san will arrive before them.
[14:50] Sakamichi
    Once he's here, I'm sure...
[14:52] Sakamichi
    And then the four of us...
[14:54] Sakamichi
    If we accelerate, I'm sure—
[14:56] Imaizumi
    Onoda...
[14:58] Imaizumi
    Unfortunately, Hakone Academy
     made it here first.
[15:02] Kuroda
    Looks like you're taking
    this seriously, Yuto.
[15:06] Yuto
    Of course.
[15:08] Ashikiba
    Yuki-chan.
[15:10] Ashikiba
    I never thought I'd get
    to see you ride again.
[15:13] Ashikiba
    I... I...
[15:14] Kuroda
    What am I, dead?
[15:16] Kuroda
    It's not like I came back to life.
[15:18] Ashikiba
    But I thought...
[15:20] Kuroda
    Hey, you'd better not be crying.
[15:22] Sakamichi
    Teshima-san?
[15:24] Imaizumi
    Hakone Academy...
[15:27] Imaizumi
    Hakone Academy has gathered all its members!
[15:34] Izumida
    Abs!
[15:36] Naruko
    Lashes is shouting!
[15:38] Sakamichi
    Where's Teshima-san?
[15:39] Imaizumi
    Behind us!
[15:41] Imaizumi
    Hakone Academy's passing us!
[15:43] Naruko
    They changed formation!
[15:45] Naruko
    This isn't good, hotshot!
[15:46] Naruko
    They're making their move!
[15:48] Naruko
    What should we do, hotshot?
[15:49] Naruko
    Wait for Teshima-san, or chase
    after Hakone Academy as three?
[15:53] Naruko
    If we let them go now, they'll...
[15:55] Sakamichi
    Teshima-san, hurry!
[15:57] Naruko
    Hotshot!
[15:58] Imaizumi
    We don't have the numbers to go after them.
[16:01] Imaizumi
    But if we miss this opportunity...
[16:04] Imaizumi
    What should we do?
[16:05] Imaizumi
    What should we do?
[16:07] Imaizumi
    Teshima-san!
[16:11] Imaizumi
    We'll wait for Teshima-san!
[16:13] Imaizumi
    Sohoku will accelerate once
    we have all our members!
[16:18] Sakamichi
    Hakone Academy is accelerating
    with all their members!
[16:21] Sakamichi
    They're getting farther and farther ahead!
[16:24] Naruko
    We let them get away!
[16:25] Naruko
    Hotshot, should we send one of us after them?
[16:27] Naruko
    Me or Onoda-kun?
[16:29] Imaizumi
    We'll wait for Teshima-san!
    All of us, together!
[16:32] Imaizumi
    We'll wait.
[16:33] Imaizumi
    That's right. I'm sure
    that's the right answer.
[16:36] Imaizumi
    But...
[16:38] Imaizumi
    It'll take just about 30 seconds or
    more for Teshima-san to catch up.
[16:43] Imaizumi
    But staring at your opponents' butts while
    you wait makes it feel like an eternity.
[16:49] Sakamichi
    Hakone Academy is disappearing from sight...
[16:52] Naruko
    Hotshot!
[16:56] Class Rep
    Route 120, which connects
    Nikkou and Numata City,
[17:00] Class Rep
    switches from uphill to downhill
    at the Konsei Pass's Konsei Tunnel
[17:05] Class Rep
    1,842 meters above sea level,
[17:06] Class Rep
    where the course leaves
    Tochigi and enters Gunma.
[17:12] Class Rep
    Last year it was Mt. Fuji and Hakone.
[17:16] Class Rep
    Why are road races held
    at the top of mountains?
[17:19] Class Rep
    I wish they'd hold one in the city.
[17:22] Class Rep
    It's so hard to get around.
[17:23] Class Rep
    I have to transfer trains and buses.
[17:26] (Flashback) Manami
    The city?
[17:27] (Flashback) Class Rep
    Oh, not that I'm interested.
[17:30] (Flashback) Manami
    I don't like city races.
[17:32] (Flashback) Manami
    I'd be useless.
[17:34] Class Rep
    Since that's what Sangaku said,
     I came all the way here.
[17:40] Class Rep
    He's always late and never
    fills out his handouts.
[17:43] Class Rep
    If he's not useful here,
     then he's banned from cycling.
[17:47] Class Rep
    But...
[17:49] Class Rep
    The view from the top of a
    mountain certainly is nice.
[17:53] Fan 5
    They're here!
[17:54] Class Rep
    Huh? What?
[17:55] Fan 6
    Hakone Academy's in the front!
[17:57] Fan 6
    Their second-year ace
    climber Manami is pulling!
[17:59] Fan 5
    And they have all their members!
[18:04] Class Rep
    They're here, they're here!
[18:05] Class Rep
    Wait...
[18:06] Class Rep
    He really is being useful!
[18:09] Class Rep
    Last year, I couldn't give
    him those rice balls.
[18:12] Class Rep
    So this year, I know what to do!
[18:14] Class Rep
    There!
[18:17] Class Rep
    I dropped all my stuff!
[18:19] Class Rep
    I don't have time to pick this up.
[18:21] Class Rep
    Since I came all the way here,
    I should at least say something.
[18:25] Class Rep
    Sangaku, good...
[18:26] Class Rep
    It's no use! I'm too late!
[18:32] Manami
    Is this for me?
[18:33] Manami
    Thanks, class rep.
[18:36] Class Rep
    Huh?
[18:38] Manami
    Did you have a long trip?
[18:40] Class Rep
    Sangaku...
[18:44] Class Rep
    I gave it to him...
[18:45] Fan
    Go, Hakone Academy!
[18:48] Sakamichi
    Teshima-san! Hurry!
[18:52] Imaizumi
    Come quickly, Teshima-san.
[18:54] Imaizumi
    Hakone Academy is so far ahead.
[18:56] Imaizumi
    Damn.
[18:58] Imaizumi
    It's so long.
[18:59] Imaizumi
    Does waiting always feel this long?
[19:01] Naruko
    I can't wait anymore!
[19:02] Imaizumi
    Calm down, Naruko!
[19:04] Imaizumi
    We have to wait!
[19:05] Naruko
    A moment's decision determines
    everything in road racing.
[19:09] Naruko
    Will we or won't we respond
    to our opponents' movements?
[19:12] Naruko
    That moment is now!
[19:14] Naruko
    We have to go!
[19:16] Naruko
    Even if it means leaving Teshima-san behind!
[19:18] Naruko
    You must understand that!
[19:24] Naruko
    Let's go, Onoda-kun.
[19:26] Sakamichi
    Huh?
[19:27] Naruko
    If we work together, we can
    still catch up to them!
[19:30] Imaizumi
    No, Naruko!
[19:32] Imaizumi
    Sohoku will accelerate once
    all four of us are together!
[19:34] Imaizumi
    That's an order! Stop, Naruko!
[19:38] Naruko
    Are you stupid, hotshot?
[19:39] Naruko
    Whoever breaks the
     finish line tape first wins.
[19:43] Naruko
    The favorites are riding in front of us.
[19:46] Naruko
    Of course we have to go!
[19:49] Naruko
    Hotshot...
[19:52] Naruko
    I can't lose anymore.
[19:59] Naruko
    Flashy when he wins, flashy when he falls.
[20:02] Naruko
    The fastest man from Naniwa. That's...
[20:05] Naruko
    ...who Naruko Shoukichi is.
[20:07] Sakamichi
    Naruko-kun...
[20:09] Naruko
    Onoda-kun, you don't have to come.
[20:12] Imaizumi
    Damn it! He left!
[20:16] Sakamichi
    Before he left, Naruko-kun said
    he'd defy your orders alone.
[20:21] Sakamichi
    That he wouldn't drag me into it.
[20:23] Imaizumi
    That showoff.
[20:25] Imaizumi
    You're self-centered, Naruko.
[20:27] Fan 5
    Sohoku's #3 is here!
[20:29] Fan 6
    Is he pursuing them alone?
[20:31] Naruko
    Sorry, hotshot, Onoda-kun, and Teshima-san.
[20:34] Naruko
    But if someone doesn't go now, we might lose.
[20:38] Naruko
    How could I not go?
[20:42] Naruko
    Okay, I've cleared the pass!
[20:44] Naruko
    Now it's all downhill!
[20:46] Naruko
    I'll catch up to Hakone Academy!
[20:48] Naruko
    It's one against six, but I'll show them.
[20:50] Naruko
    Show them my determination!
[20:55] Midousuji
    Nice timing, Naruko.
[20:59] Naruko
    Oh, Midousuji.
[21:01] Naruko
    Are you going after Hakone Academy now, too?
[21:04] Midousuji
    You left at the very last
    second to catch up, Naruko.
[21:10] Midousuji
    As expected.
[21:12] Midousuji
    Hakone Academy would've sped up
    if I'd gone after them right away.
[21:16] Midousuji
    So I let them ride ahead, waiting until
    they relaxed and slowed down.
[21:22] Naruko
    And now you've started chasing them alone?
[21:27] Midousuji
    Oh, no.
[21:31] Midousuji
    You think I...
[21:33] Naruko
    Uh-oh, don't tell me...
[21:34] Midousuji
    ...would do something as reckless as Sohoku?
[21:40] Midousuji
    They're here right behind us.
[21:45] Midousuji
    Komari-kun and my Zakus.
[21:49] Midousuji
    All of them.
[23:24] Girls
    Manami-kun!
[23:26] Yuto
    You're as popular as ever, Manami-san.
[23:30] Girl A
    Isn't Shinkai-kun cute, too?
[23:32] Girl B
    Yeah!
[23:33] Girls
    Shinkai-kun!

[00:13] Naruko
    Kyoto Fushimi's members
    are coming? All of them?
[00:16] Midousuji
    I told you, did I not?
[00:23] Midousuji
    I told you so considerately before
    your situation got any worse.
[00:33] (Flashback) Midousuji
    Huh? You're not going ahead?
[00:35] (Flashback) Midousuji
    But both of your aces are here.
     Aren't you going to go?
[00:40] (Flashback) Midousuji
    Izumi-kun, why aren't you going?
[00:43] (Flashback) Midousuji
    There's only each of us.
[00:45] (Flashback) Midousuji
    It's Sohoku's chance to get ahead.
[00:49] (Flashback) Midousuji
    Chan...? Heh.
[00:51] (Flashback) Midousuji
    Your chance to leave us behind.
[00:54] (Flashback) Midousuji
    Chirp, chirp, chirp?
[00:57] (Flashback) Midousuji
    Don't tell me...
[00:59] (Flashback) Midousuji
    You're still a little baby-chick
    as a second-year, Chirpizumi-kun?
[01:05] (Flashback) Imaizumi
    You haven't changed, Midousuji.
[01:07] (Flashback) Midousuji
    You're smiling.
[01:09] (Flashback) Imaizumi
    I'm not falling for your diversion.
[01:12] (Flashback) Imaizumi
    Cry all you want.
[01:14] (Flashback) Imaizumi
    We have our own orders.
[01:17] (Flashback) Midousuji
    Diversion? What?
[01:20] (Flashback) Midousuji
    Me, attempt a diversion?
[01:24] (Flashback) Midousuji
    That's not what I'm doing.
[01:27] Midousuji
    My only regret is that
[01:30] Midousuji
    I won't get to see the look of overexertion
     on Chirpizumi-kun's face.
[01:35] Midousuji
    Eyes and mouth open, like a
    deer caught in headlights!
[01:41] Midousuji
    When my Zakus pass him,
     he won't be able to do anything.
[01:45] Midousuji
    He'll grunt or gasp wordlessly.
[01:47] Midousuji
    That'll be the despair
[01:49] Midousuji
    on Crackizumi-kun's face
     when his spirit is broken!

    Sohoku's team has grouped up!
[03:37] Fan B
    Their lagging member caught up!
[03:39] Teshima
    Sorry I'm late.
[03:42] Sakamichi
    Teshima-san, can you accelerate right away?
[03:45] Sakamichi
    Hakone Academy is...
[03:49] Teshima
    Give me five seconds to catch my breath.
[03:52] Imaizumi
    It's all right. Calm down, Shunsuke.
[03:55] Imaizumi
    You weren't wrong.
[03:56] Imaizumi
    My decision was fine.
[03:59] Imaizumi
    We'll group up with
    Teshima-san and accelerate.
[04:01] Imaizumi
    Then we'll pick up Naruko on the way.
[04:03] Imaizumi
    It's a fine plan.
[04:04] Imaizumi
    Kinjou-san said so last year.
[04:06] Imaizumi
    "Sohoku is a team that supports each other."
[04:09] Imaizumi
    And we can't support each
    other without numbers.
[04:11] Imaizumi
    Let's go!
[04:12] Both
    Yeah!
[04:15] (Flashback) Kinjou
    Your true nature is within you.
[04:20] (Flashback) Kinjou
    Face yourself.
[04:22] (Flashback) Kinjou
    Face reality. Think of a way
    to break through, and try it.
[04:26] (Flashback) Kinjou
    Copying others won't lead you to an answer.
[04:29] Imaizumi
    My true nature...
[04:31] Imaizumi
    The answer... The answer inside me...
[04:34] Imaizumi
    Did I come to this conclusion myself?
[04:37] Imaizumi
    Don't hesitate!
[04:39] Imaizumi
    Waiting for Teshima-san
    was the right decision.
[04:41] Imaizumi
    My decision!
[04:43] Sakamichi
    Imaizumi-kun!
[04:45] Sakamichi
    You're going too fast.
[04:47] Sakamichi
    Teshima-san can't keep up.
[04:49] Imaizumi
    Sorry.
[04:52] Imaizumi
    I'm panicking.
[04:54] Imaizumi
    Damn. I've never been good at
     matching someone else's pace.
[04:57] Imaizumi
    I'm aware of that.
[04:59] Imaizumi
    I don't have time to be thinking about this.
[05:01] Imaizumi
    I'm in the Inter-High.
[05:02] Imaizumi
    We need to go after Hakone Academy.
[05:04] Both
    Yeah!
[05:05] Both
    Yeah.
[05:09] Imaizumi
    I feel like I haven't gone all-out
    since I became a second-year.
[05:14] (Flashback) Miki
    Huh? Imaizumi-kun,
     you don't usually complain.
[05:17] (Flashback) Imaizumi
    I'm not. I'm just being candid.
[05:23] (Flashback) Imaizumi
    Now that we're second-years,
    we've had younger members join.
[05:25] (Flashback) Imaizumi
    Things are noisier, and there's more to do.
[05:28] (Flashback) Imaizumi
    There are times I'd rather practice
    on my own, but I can't do what I want.
[05:32] (Flashback) Imaizumi
    I'm still not very good at
    interacting with underclassmen.
[05:36] (Flashback) Miki
    It's true that you don't have
    many friends, Imaizumi-kun.
[05:39] (Flashback) Imaizumi
    Shut up!
[05:40] (Flashback) Imaizumi
    I prefer quality over quantity.
[05:42] (Flashback) Imaizumi
    Now that I'm a second-year,
    it's only natural.
[05:46] (Flashback) Imaizumi
    I know I just have to get used to it.
[05:48] (Flashback) Imaizumi
    Last year, I had seniors. I was unconstrained.
[05:53] (Flashback) Imaizumi
    But this year...
[05:55] (Flashback) Imaizumi
    It feels like I have a limiter
    installed all the whole time.
[05:59] (Flashback) Miki
    But your Minegayama time has
    improved compared to last year.
[06:04] (Flashback) Imaizumi
    I know. I'm in good shape.
[06:07] (Flashback) Imaizumi
    That's why I said it's how I feel.
[06:09] (Flashback) Imaizumi
    It's probably just my imagination.
[06:12] Imaizumi
    Why am I remembering this nonsense now?
[06:19] Imaizumi
    Those purple jerseys I see...
[06:24] Imaizumi
    Those riders coming up behind us...
[06:27] Imaizumi
    Did Midousuji not simply
    go after Naruko earlier?
[06:32] Imaizumi
    Was he planning to meet up with his team?
[06:35] (Flashback) Midousuji
    Why aren't you going?
[06:36] (Flashback) Midousuji
    It's Sohoku's chance to get ahead.
[06:40] Imaizumi
    Our chance...
[06:42] Imaizumi
    Did I throw that away?
[06:44] Imaizumi
    With my decision?
[06:46] Sakamichi
    What's wrong, Imaizumi-kun?
[06:48] Sakamichi
    Is there something behind us?
[06:52] Komari
    Sohoku's ace's muscles!
[06:55] Imaizumi
    What?
[07:00] Sakamichi
    K-Kyoto Fushimi's coming!
[07:03] Sakamichi
    They caught up!
[07:05] Sakamichi
    They're passing us!
[07:10] Komari
    Imaizumi-san...
[07:12] Komari
    He has such nice muscles,
     but he's such a rough person!
[07:16] Imaizumi
    Onoda! Teshima-san! Accelerate!
[07:18] Imaizumi
    Stick to Kyoto Fushimi's butts!
[07:19] Imaizumi
    If we ride behind them, we'll
    be able to catch up to Hakone—
[07:27] Imaizumi
    Recover faster, Teshima-san!
[07:30] Imaizumi
    Aren't you a climber?
[07:39] Teshima
    Sorry...
[07:41] Imaizumi
    No. It's not Teshima-san.
[07:44] Imaizumi
    I'm the one who made the wrong decision.
[07:49] Imaizumi
    What was that sound?
[07:53] Midousuji
    Crackizumi!
[07:59] Sakamichi
    What? Imaizumi-kun suddenly dropped his pace.
[08:02] Teshima
    Imaizumi...
[08:03] Sakamichi
    Imaizumi-kun, are you—
[08:05] Teshima
    Onoda...
[08:06] Teshima
    Imaizumi's exhausted from
    riding at the front.
[08:11] Teshima
    He's exhausted.
[08:12] Teshima
    That's all.
[08:16] Sakamichi
    Imaizumi-kun's... not just exhausted?
[08:21] Teshima
    Our situation couldn't be worse.
[08:23] Teshima
    Kyoto Fushimi's ahead of us.
     So is Hakone Academy.
[08:27] Teshima
    And now we have to fight them
     without our full team.
[08:31] Sakamichi
    Yes, sir.
[08:32] Teshima
    We have to go after them to stand a chance.
[08:35] Teshima
    Can you pull, Onoda?
[08:40] Sakamichi
    Yes, sir!
[08:41] Fan C
    Sohoku's coming!
[08:43] Fan D
    They've fallen behind Kyoto Fushimi!
[08:45] Fan E
    They're finally entering the tunnel!
[08:50] Sakamichi
    Imaizumi-kun...
[08:52] Teshima
    Sohoku is a team that supports
    each other, Imaizumi.
[08:55] Teshima
    Especially during these moments.
[08:57] Teshima
    Maybe I'm just saying we're okay
    to make myself feel better.
[09:01] Teshima
    But Imaizumi, believe.
[09:03] Teshima
    As long as we keep pedaling,
    we'll get another chance to—
[09:15] Teshima
    Of course.
[09:17] Teshima
    If Hakone Academy hadn't passed me,
     this never would've happened.
[09:22] Teshima
    Okay, you're right.
[09:24] Teshima
    You're right that I'm slow to recover, too.
[09:27] Imaizumi
    So why are you smiling?
[09:30] Sakamichi
    Huh?
[09:32] Imaizumi
    If you had caught up,
[09:34] Imaizumi
    we wouldn't have had a problem with
    Kyoto Fushimi or Hakone Academy!
[09:37] Imaizumi
    But you're still talking!
[09:41] Teshima
    Imaizumi, when times get tough—
[09:44] Imaizumi
    That's enough. Sorry.
[09:46] Imaizumi
    It's all my fault.
[09:48] Imaizumi
    I made the wrong decision.
[09:51] Imaizumi
    Sorry for yelling at you.
[09:54] Imaizumi
    In that moment, Naruko made the
    right decision by going ahead.
[10:01] Imaizumi
    This sound again...
[10:06] Teshima
    You think Sohoku won't get
    another chance, Imaizumi?
[10:10] Teshima
    This is exactly when we should
    be supporting each other.
[10:22] Mizuta
    Shifting from phase six to seven.
[10:25] Mizuta
    Team has grouped up.
[10:27] Mizuta
    Just as planned, we left
    the pack during the climb
[10:30] Mizuta
    and caught up on the downhill four kilometers
     past the tunnel, Midousuji-kun!
[10:36] Naruko
    Kyoto Fushimi actually got all
    six of their members together!
[10:40] Midousuji
    Yeah. Good work, Zakus.
[10:43] Midousuji
    So, what happened?
[10:45] Midousuji
    Did Izumi-kun say anything
    when you passed him?
[10:50] Naruko
    Hotshot!
[10:53] Kiriya
    Nothing in particular.
[10:54] Funazu
    He just grunted and gasped with
    a surprised look on his face.
[10:58] Midousuji
    Hear that...
[11:01] Midousuji
    Naruko-kun?
[11:05] Midousuji
    Sohoku's been completely scattered!
[11:09] Midousuji
    Let's move onto phase eight!
[11:12] Midousuji
    After Hakone Academy! Accelerate!
[11:15] Naruko
    Damn it!
[11:16] Naruko
    I knew this was coming!
[11:18] Midousuji
    We'll pedal at the expected pace,
[11:20] Midousuji
    catch up within five minutes,
    and crush the champions early!
[11:26] All
    Yes, sir!
[11:28] Naruko
    They're accelerating!
[11:30] Naruko
    But I'll keep up through sheer
    willpower alone if I have to!
[11:32] Naruko
    I need to catch up to
    Hakone Academy in the front!
[11:48] Izumida
    Looks like our pursuers are coming.
[11:59] Izumida
    Shall I praise you, Midousuji-kun?
[12:02] Izumida
    Congratulate you for catching up?
[12:03] Midousuji
    No need, Lashes.
[12:06] Midousuji
    You don't need to mind me.
[12:09] Izumida
    It's been a year.
[12:11] Izumida
    Knowing you, I'm sure you expected
    to catch up at this exact moment.
[12:16] Midousuji
    I don't know what you're talking about.
[12:19] Midousuji
    We simply caught up after
    pedaling as hard as we could.
[12:25] Izumida
    You know the second day's sprint
    line is five kilometers ahead.
[12:31] Izumida
    And that exactly the
    same situation as last year,
[12:36] Izumida
    when Hakone Academy tasted bitter defeat.
[12:40] Izumida
    Shall we have a rematch?
SIGN    5 km to Road Race  Second Day Sprint Line
[12:45] Fan
    Hakone Academy, you can do it!
[12:50] Izumida
    Let's do it, Midousuji-kun.
[12:53] Izumida
    Isn't that why you came?
[12:55] Izumida
    I'm sure you said you'd crush the
    champions early before chasing after us
[12:58] Izumida
    at the sprint line five kilometers ahead.
[13:01] Midousuji
    No. No, no.
[13:03] Midousuji
    We didn't come to crush you.
[13:05] Midousuji
    We're just here to practice with our betters.
[13:09] Midousuji
    Our betters.
[13:11] Midousuji
    You're all too common during the summer...
[13:13] Midousuji
    You champion maggots!
[13:16] Izumida
    That's not the attitude of one come
    to practice with their betters.
[13:19] Izumida
    If you're coming, send your best sprinter.
[13:22] Izumida
    Hakone Academy will mow him down.
[13:27] Izumida
    Doubashi!
[13:32] Yamaguchi
    Doubashi Masakiyo! They're sending him?
[13:35] Yamaguchi
    He's got the green number tag!
[13:36] Yamaguchi
    He won yesterday's first
    result on the sprint.
[13:40] Yamaguchi
    The Road Monster, Doubashi Masakiyo.
[13:43] Yamaguchi
    Even as another sprinter,
     his riding seems exceptional.
[13:47] Yamaguchi
    He's Hakone Academy's heavyweight sprinter.
[13:49] Izumida
    The team is counting on you.
[13:54] Izumida
    I'll be leaving you briefly,
    for about five kilometers.
[13:58] Izumida
    I'm going to have some fun
     with Andy and Frank
[14:00] Izumida
    as Hakone Academy's proud ace sprinter.
[14:04] Izumida
    Me, Izumida Touichirou!
[14:08] Mizuta
    I-Izumida?
[14:09] Yamaguchi
    The ace sprinter himself is going?
[14:12] Izumida
    Come on.
[14:13] Izumida
    Come on! You see this?
[14:15] Izumida
    My right pec, Andy!
[14:17] Izumida
    My left pec, Frank!
[14:19] Izumida
    They're excited now... by this battle!
[14:23] Doubashi
    Those were Izumida-san's pec squats.
[14:26] Doubashi
    He's never been beaten after doing that.
[14:29] Doubashi
    They call them the Squats of Death!
[14:33] Doubashi
    Everyone who sees it always
    laughs at how comical it looks.
[14:37] Doubashi
    But that amusement turns
    to fear in an instant.
[14:41] Doubashi
    He shoots ahead like a ray of light
    with his spring-like muscles.
[14:44] Doubashi
    Their smiles collapse, and they tremble,
     rooted in place.
[14:49] Doubashi
    Izumida-san has changed!
[14:50] Doubashi
    He's gotten even stronger!
[14:53] Izumida
    Will you laugh at Andy and
    Frank, too, Midousuji-kun?
[14:59] Midousuji
    I won't laugh.
[15:02] Midousuji
    Those who can only judge others
    by their comical appearance
[15:06] Midousuji
    are trash who can't see
    a person's true nature.
[15:09] Midousuji
    I guess we'll send our own special man.
[15:13] Izumida
    There's no need to put on airs.
[15:15] Izumida
    It's you, isn't it?
[15:16] Izumida
    Kyoto Fushimi's ace, #111, Midousuji-kun.
[15:20] Midousuji
    Gross.
[15:22] Midousuji
    You used Doubashi-kun
    to put on airs yourself.
[15:26] Izumida
    It was just a demonstration
    before we started.
[15:29] Izumida
    Isn't it more fun that way?
[15:34] Izumida
    It's time for revenge...
[15:36] Izumida
    In exactly the same situation as last year.
[15:38] Midousuji
    It only seems similar.
[15:40] Midousuji
    Between last year and this year,
     everything is different.
[15:43] Izumida
    I'll keep my zipper zipped up to start with.
[15:46] Izumida
    Against you, I'll have to go all out.
[15:48] Komari
    Don't!
[15:51] Kuroda
    What? The guy in the back is coming.
[15:54] Komari
    Don't zip up your zipper!
[15:57] Kuroda
    That's #116, Kishigami Komari!
[16:00] Kuroda
    He's trying to—
[16:01] Kuroda
    Watch out, Touichirou!

    He's trying to touch you!
[16:05] Komari
    Muscles, muscles!
[16:07] Komari
    Muscles!
[16:11] Yamaguchi
    Kishigami!
[16:12] Mizuta
    What are you doing?!
[16:14] Izumida
    My Frank!
[16:22] Komari
    Sorry. The heat made me dizzy.
[16:27] Kuroda
    First-year, that's the same
    excuse you used before!
[16:29] Komari
    With the way you keep
    showing off your muscles,
[16:35] Komari
    how could you expect me to sit still?
[16:41] Komari
    These are... These are...
[16:44] Komari

    Midousuji-san, can I go
    after this muscular man?

    He wants to race for the sprint line?

    You really don't have any restraint.
[17:10] Izumida
    Kishigami Komari...
[17:13] (Flashback) Izumida
    Kyoto Fushimi subbed out
    one of their members?
[17:15] (Flashback) Takadajou
    This is the new list.
SIGN    114  Funazu  115  Kiriya  116  Kishigami Komari
[17:19] (Flashback) Izumida
    They swapped out third-year Hironishi
    for first-year Kishigami?
[17:23] (Flashback) Izumida
    Is Hironishi not feeling well?
[17:25] (Flashback) Izumida
    What do you think, Takadajou?
[17:27] (Flashback) Takadajou
    It's a strategic move.
[17:29] (Flashback) Takadajou
    Honestly, Hironishi's not strong.
[17:32] (Flashback) Takadajou
    Kyoto Fushimi has a shallow pool
    to draw from this year.
[17:35] (Flashback) Takadajou
    We knew this, but Hironishi
    was removed specifically.
[17:39] (Flashback) Takadajou
    This move will bring their members, excluding
    Midousuji, into line with one another.
[17:43] (Flashback) Izumida
    Do we have any data on this first-year?
[17:45] (Flashback) Takadajou
    None. But according to rumors,
     he's been brought along to every race.
[17:49] (Flashback) Doubashi
    A sub's a sub.
[17:51] (Flashback) Doubashi
    He can't be that good.
[17:53] (Flashback) Doubashi
    It's nothing to worry about, Izumida-san.
[17:55] (Flashback) Izumida
    No, I'll hear it.
[17:57] Izumida
    He could be the eye of the storm.
[17:59] (Flashback) Takadajou
    Supposedly, Kishigami tags along to
    every race and gives them massages.
[18:06] Komari
    I can still feel it all the
    way in my elbow, Izumida-san!
[18:13] Izumida
    He seems to be more than a mere masseuse.
[18:16] Izumida
    He's an unknown value.
    We have no data on him.
[18:18] Izumida
    But that's—
[18:19] Kuroda
    Touichirou!
[18:21] Kuroda
    This race has a long way to go.
[18:22] Kuroda
    The six of us can ride
    through the sprint together.
[18:25] Kuroda
    The way he touched you wasn't normal.
[18:27] Kuroda
    Before he does anything else to you—
[18:29] Izumida
    It's fine, Yuki. We're the champions.
[18:32] Izumida
    We're Hakone Academy.
[18:33] Izumida
    We accept and defeat all challengers.
[18:37] Izumida
    That's what champions do.
[18:38] Izumida
    If we lack data on our opponents,
[18:41] Izumida
    we can learn by battling them!
[18:43] Izumida
    Abs!
[18:44] Yamaguchi
    Izumida's "abs" call is amazing.
[18:47] Yamaguchi
    I can feel the pressure
    all the way over here.
[18:48] Yamaguchi
    Izumida's gotten stronger than last year!
[18:53] Yamaguchi
    Will Kishigami be okay?
[18:55] Izumida
    Do you want to hear me shout
    "abs" more, Kishigami-kun?
[19:00] Komari
    Yes, more!
[19:03] Izumida
    Abs ready!
[19:04] Yamaguchi
    Hakone Academy's ace sprinter
    is about to make his move!
[19:08] Midousuji
    You really do lack restraint!

[19:33] Fan J
    Hironishi's amazing!
[19:36] Izumida
    I'm impressed you're keeping up,
    but perhaps I went too fast.
[19:40] Izumida
    Are you short of breath already?
[19:42] Komari
    Huh? What?
[19:44] Komari
    My breath?
[19:45] Komari
    I'm panting already
[19:48] Komari
    from seeing the movements
    of your muscles up close.
[19:52] Komari
    Of course I'm panting.
[19:54] Izumida
    That's why he's panting?
[19:56] Izumida
    Then how's this?
[19:58] Izumida
    Abs, abs, abs!
[20:00] Izumida
    Bua, bua, bua!
[20:02] Komari
    Your "bua, bua" is great, too!
[20:06] Izumida
    Let's go, Andy and Frank.
[20:09] Izumida
    If he's determined to keep up,
    then I'll break away by force!
[20:12] Izumida
    Bua!
[20:16] Izumida
    He's keeping up.
[20:17] Izumida
    I see. It seems you have fast reactions.
[20:22] Izumida
    The moment I prepare to accelerate,
    you're already starting to chase.
[20:26] Komari
    I can tell from the
    movements of your muscles.
[20:29] Komari
    Tiny vibrations tell me how much
    you're going to accelerate.
[20:32] Komari
    I don't miss any of them.
[20:35] Izumida
    So no matter how much I accelerate,
    your reaction will never be late?
[20:38] Komari
    After all, I won't get another chance
    to see your muscles up close.
[20:43] Izumida
    Frank senses that this man is dangerous?
[20:46] Komari
    Did Frank-san just react?
[20:51] Izumida
    How does he know about Frank?
[20:53] Izumida
    No, I'm always shouting his name.
[20:56] Izumida
    It's not strange that he knows.
[20:58] Komari
    I see. He's careful, is he?
[21:02] Komari
    He senses all danger.
[21:04] Komari
    Since he increases the pressure on
    your heart, he's careful and bold.
[21:10] Komari
    Is that Frank-san's personality?
[21:13] Izumida
    This man understands that
    much just from touching me?
[21:18] Izumida
    Your senses are incredible.
[21:20] Izumida
    Do you know how this race will end, too?
[21:22] Komari
    More or less, based on the
    movements of your muscles.
[21:27] Izumida
    Who will win this sprint?
[21:29] Komari
    Me.
[21:32] Komari
    Huh? Are you feeling slightly short of breath?

    That cat...
[23:19] Kuroda
    Come on. Don't be that way.
[23:22] Kuroda
    We're both black cats. Let's be friends.

    Interesting theory, Kyoto Fushimi
    first-year Kishigami Komari.
[00:07] Izumida
    You've kept up well so far.
[00:09] Izumida
    And on top of that, you sure do talk a lot.

    Izumida-san, let me hear
    you shout "abs" more!
[00:15] Komari
    I want to see more!

    I want to hear the passionate
    braying of your muscles!
[00:27] Komari
    Contract and release. They repeat
    that action over and over.
[00:31] Komari
    Magnificently and proudly, thousands
    and tens of thousands of times.
[00:35] Komari
    Muscles are beautiful!
[00:39] Komari
    The process by which you develop
    your muscles is important.
[00:42] Komari
    Muscles that are raised
    carefully are high quality.
[00:45] Komari
    Their appearance, feel,
    elasticity, and durability...
[00:49] Komari
    All their properties shine fantastically.
[00:52] Komari
    But muscles raised roughly
    are crude and disconnected.
[00:56] Komari
    They possess no shred of dignity
    and feel like mud to the touch.
[01:00] Komari
    Muscles need innate quality and
    a maestro to raise them well.
[01:12] Komari
    I can't stand it!
[01:14] Komari

[01:15] Komari

    I believe muscles are finally finished then.

    And with these fingertips, I will touch

[03:11] Izumida
    Kishigami Komari...
[03:13] Izumida
    Is he trying to knock me out of the race?
[03:16] Izumida
    On the first day, he left the rear and
    caught up to the front with Midousuji.
[03:20] Izumida
    He may be an unknown, but he's strong.
[03:24] Izumida
    In other words, Kyoto Fushimi has
    revealed their secret weapon.
[03:27] Izumida
    Which means that now, it can be achieved.
[03:30] Izumida
    Last year's revenge, which I swore
    I'd have from the bottom of my heart!
[03:35] Izumida
    It seems Midousuji-kun carefully planned
[03:37] Izumida
    to add you to the lineup just
    before the race started.
[03:40] Komari
    Yes. He said everything's
    going according to plan.
[03:44] Komari
    And that I wouldn't need to restrain
    myself once the race started.
[03:52] Doubashi
    I thought the round-eyed guy
     would go after them
[03:55] Doubashi
    so they could crush Izumida-san together.
[03:59] Kuroda
    Yeah, but he's not moving.
[04:00] Doubashi
    Does that mean they've
    given up on the sprint?
[04:03] Kuroda
    No.
[04:05] Kuroda
    They deliberately caught up to us
    five kilometers before the line.
[04:08] Kuroda
    They care about this race, so if they
     sent that Kishigami guy, then...
[04:14] Kuroda
    Hey, Midousuji.
[04:16] Midousuji
    Huh?
[04:17] Kuroda
    At the very least, you must think
    that first-year will beat Touichirou.
[04:23] Doubashi
    What? Beat Izumida-san?
[04:26] Midousuji
    Well...
[04:28] Midousuji
    I wasn't expecting him to go.

    It sounds like you've gotten
    the wrong impression.
[05:43] Kuroda
    Touichirou said "revenge."
[05:47] Kuroda
    But he wasn't talking about your
    sprint against Shinkai-san last year.
[05:52] Kuroda
    We crushed the first day. We're doing well.
[05:56] Kuroda
    But for him, he's still...
[05:58] Kuroda
    Last year's loser.
[06:03] Kuroda
    The revenge he seeks is for
    Hakone Academy's defeat.
[06:08] Kuroda
    That's a different kind of resolve.

    That's why he can't lose,

    You're dividing each year
    into groups A through D?
[07:30] (Flashback) Izumida
    That's right, Murakami.
[07:31] (Flashback) Izumida
    And at the start of every month, we'll hold
     promotion and relegation races.

    You'll assign the first-years to groups.

    Has the captain position really been decided?
[08:12] (Flashback) Gt
    What do you mean? Do you
    have a problem with him?
[08:15] (Flashback) Murakami
    It's just that Hakone Academy's captain
[08:18] (Flashback) Murakami
    has historically always been
    a climber or all-rounder.
[08:21] (Flashback) Murakami
    Supposedly, it's because sprinters can't
     issue instructions at the end of the race.
[08:26] (Flashback) Gt
    So it should be Kuroda-san or Manami?
[08:29] (Flashback) Murakami
    I'm just saying, don't you

    An atmosphere of doubt that we can really
    win with a sprinter as our captain.

[09:53] (Flashback) Izumida
    If there's a reason Hakone Academy
    lost the Inter-High this year,

    it's because I failed to take the

    From now on, we have to bring people here...
[12:15] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    Depressed underclassmen, to this place.
[12:19] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    After all, we're becoming upperclassmen.
[12:24] (Flashback) Izumida
    Yeah, you're right.
[12:27] Izumida
    I'm surprised he actually
    thinks about these things.
[12:30] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    You know, I...
[12:32] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    Can I be serious for a second?
[12:34] (Flashback) Izumida
    Huh? Uh, sure.
[12:35] Izumida
    Was he not being serious before?
[12:39] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    I moved here from Chiba at
    the end of middle school.
[12:42] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    I joined Hakone Academy with zero friends.
[12:44] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    I joined the team since I brought
    my bike, and they had a club.
[12:48] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    It turned out they were strong.
[12:51] (Flashback) Arakita
    Who the hell are you?
[12:53] (Flashback) Arakita
    You're huge!
[12:54] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    Arakita-san was scary, I kept growing,
     and practice was hard.
[12:59] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    I couldn't keep up.
[13:01] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    At some point, I became the laundry boy.
[13:06] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    But Fukutomi-san and
    Shinkai-san cheered me up.
[13:11] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    It made me really happy.
[13:13] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    But I failed to meet their
    expectations when I got my chance.
[13:18] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    I was so impatient when things
    didn't go the way I wanted
[13:20] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    that I did something you should never do.
[13:23] Izumida
    That was a huge issue within the team.
[13:26] Izumida
    And the result was a
    permanent ban from racing.
[13:31] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    I don't think I had to win that race.
[13:35] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    They just wanted me to finish in the
    top nine and gain some confidence.
[13:39] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    Arakita-san told me later that's what
    Shinkai-san and Fukutomi-san wanted.
[13:45] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    But I put that pressure on myself.
[13:47] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    My need to win turned out badly.
[13:52] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    Earlier, in the club room,
    you said you felt guilt.
[13:55] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    If that's guilt,
[13:58] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    then I carry more guilt than anyone.
[14:05] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    And probably...
[14:07] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    Oh, I'm not talking about me.
[14:10] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    But I think people who don't
    carry guilt shouldn't lead others.
[14:16] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    Wait, does it sound like
     I'm lecturing you right now?
[14:20] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    I'm not, though!
[14:21] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    I was just telling you my life story!
[14:23] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    I doubt your resolve can be shaken.
[14:26] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    I just wanted you to cheer up.
[14:30] (Flashback) Izumida
    Yeah, I know.
[14:35] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    Since you became captain, I feel
    like you haven't said "abs" once.
SIGN    Hakone Academy
[14:44] Izumida
    I talked to Yuki. I talked to Fukutomi-san.
[14:48] Izumida
    But after hearing it from Ashikiba,
    I finally realized something.
[14:51] Izumida
    Since I became captain,
    I haven't said "abs" once.
[14:56] Izumida
    I haven't talked to you...
[14:59] Izumida
    Andy, Frank.
[15:02] Izumida
    To you. To myself.
[15:08] Izumida
    They're telling me to do it.
[15:09] Izumida
    That retreating isn't fighting.
[15:12] Izumida
    Is this my limit?
[15:14] Izumida
    If it isn't,
[15:16] Izumida
    then I should take my guilt and failures and
    turn them into the strength to move forward.
[15:21] (Flashback) Izumida
    Abs!
[15:24] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    I placed second at the Minegayama race.
[15:26] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    Fukutomi-san got mad at me again.
[15:29] Izumida
    Second place means he kept working hard
    during his permanent ban from racing.
SIGN    Hakone Academy
[15:35] Izumida
    Despite the guilt he carries,
    he's moving forward.
[15:39] Izumida
    Then I should as well.
[15:41] (Flashback) Izumida
    Stop looking back and move forward.
[15:45] Izumida
    Those eyes... He's back.
[15:51] (Flashback) Kuroda
    Touichirou...
[15:52] (Flashback) Izumida
    Sorry, Yuki. I'll try again.
[15:56] (Flashback) Izumida
    If there's no precedent,
     then I'll overthrow the past.
[15:58] (Flashback) Izumida
    If the team isn't satisfied,
    I'll push them aside.
[16:01] (Flashback) Izumida
    My greatest goal is to reclaim
    our throne at the Inter-High.
[16:04] (Flashback) Kuroda
    That's the spirit.
[16:06] (Flashback) Izumida
    Will you help me, Yuki?
[16:08] (Flashback) Kuroda
    Yeah, of course.
[16:10] (Flashback) Izumida
    And...
[16:12] (Flashback) Izumida
    Takuto.
[16:13] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    Yeah.
[16:14] (Flashback) Izumida
    We'll train harder than anyone else.
[16:17] (Flashback) Izumida
    We'll have more passion than anyone else.
[16:19] (Flashback) Izumida
    We'll face forward and advance!
[16:21] (Flashback) Izumida
    We are the champions, Hakone Academy!
[16:28] Izumida
    I'm going even faster.
[16:30] Izumida
    The man wearing #4
[16:31] Izumida
    and bearing the captain's responsibility
     can go faster than this.
[16:37] Kuroda
    Go, Touichirou.
[16:39] Kuroda
    Show them what you've built in the past year.
[16:43] Ashikiba
    I knew there'd come a moment when
    you could atone for your guilt.
[16:49] Ashikiba
    That moment is now, Tou-chan.
[16:51] Ashikiba
    Run!
[16:53] Izumida
    I know now why Shinkai-san and Fukutomi-san
[16:55] Izumida
    chose Ashikiba for the core team of
    the new generation of Hakone Academy.
[17:01] Izumida
    He is strong both physically and mentally.
[17:06] Izumida
    They knew I was carrying guilt.
[17:10] Izumida
    That's why they told me to
    move forward through him.
[17:14] Izumida
    Thank you, Yuki, Takuto.
[17:16] Izumida
    Thanks to you, I made it this far.
[17:20] Izumida
    Experiencing pain, bearing guilt,
[17:23] Izumida
    and carrying an unbeatable passion
    in my heart, I now become
[17:27] Izumida
    the fastest spear!
[17:32] Fan 3
    He's so fast!
[17:33] Fan 3
    That's how fast Hakone Academy's #4 can go!
[17:35] Fan 4
    Light...
[17:36] Fan 4
    I think I just saw light!
[17:39] Komari
    But...
[17:43] Komari
    No, no...
[17:45] Komari
    I can't see him anymore.
[17:47] Komari
    His muscles!
[17:49] Komari
    In that case,
[17:51] Komari
    I'll have to use these!
[17:55] Komari
    Eyewear...
[17:56] Komari
    They protect your eyes
    from UV rays and rocks.
[17:59] Komari
    But that's not all.
[18:02] Komari
    Polarized glasses remove reflections,
    allowing you to see vivid sights.
[18:07] Komari
    Down to the tiniest detail,
    they increase the vibrant glow...
[18:14] Komari
    Of those sights! Those muscles!
[18:18] Komari
    It's like a field of flowers!
[18:20] Komari
    And beyond that field, I see
    seductively glowing muscles!
[18:26] Komari
    Muscles!
[18:29] Komari
    They'd make anyone want to race
    through a field of flowers!
[18:33] Fan 7
    What's going on?
[18:34] Fan 7
    He suddenly started going faster
    the moment he put on his eyewear!
[18:37] Fan 7
    Is that even possible?
[18:39] Fan 8
    Maybe.
[18:40] Fan 7
    What?
[18:41] Fan 8
    They say more than 85%
    of the information people
[18:44] Fan 8
    use to make decisions during
    exercise is visual information.
[18:47] Fan 8
    And if that eyewear drastically
    changes that information,
[18:50] Fan 8
    then it's entirely possible that
    it could affect his movements!
[18:54] Komari
    Flowers! Muscles!
[18:55] Komari
    Flowers! Muscles!
[18:55] Komari
    Flowers! Muscles! Flowers!
[18:56] Komari
    Muscles!
[18:56] Komari
    Flowers!
[18:59] Izumida
    What? But I was so far ahead of him.
[19:02] Izumida
    What did he do?
[19:05] Komari
    I can see them so clearly!
[19:06] Komari
    So close!
[19:07] Komari
    A field of muscles!
[19:09] Izumida
    A field of muscles?
[19:11] Komari
    Muscles are most beautiful
    when they're in motion.
[19:15] Komari
    Sweat, contraction, tension...
[19:18] Komari
    And the movement of these muscles
    during this ultimate sprint battle...
[19:23] Komari
    I may never get a chance to see them again!
[19:26] Komari
    I'm sorry, Midousuji-san.
[19:28] Komari
    You told me not to put on my eyewear until...
[19:29] (Flashback) Midousuji
    Wear them once you're within
    a kilometer of the line.
[19:33] (Flashback) Midousuji
    Save your secret weapon until the very end.
[19:35] Komari
    I know you told me not to.
[19:38] Komari
    But I put them on more than a kilometer away!
[19:43] Izumida
    The stronger his opponent, the more
    his pressure rises. He's keeping up.
[19:47] Komari
    A field... of muscles...
[19:51] Izumida
    I know, Andy, Frank.
[19:55] Izumida
    But I won't quail.
[19:57] Izumida
    Overwhelming victory has simply
    changed into a close battle.
[20:00] Komari
    Huh? Didn't I tell you earlier?
[20:03] Komari
    I can tell from the
    movements of your muscles.
[20:05] Komari
    I'm going to win this battle.
[20:08] Izumida
    If the movement of my muscles
    decided the race's outcome,
[20:11] Izumida
    then I wouldn't have lost last year.
[20:14] Izumida
    Don't you know?
[20:16] Izumida
    In road racing, the one who overcomes
    unexpected difficulties wins.
[20:26] Fan 9
    He's keeping up with Izumida!
[20:29] Fan 9
    Maybe I'll root for #116, Hironishi!

    Kyoto Fushimi, Hironishi!
[20:34] Fans
    You can do it, Hironishi!
[20:35] Fans
    You're amazing, Hironishi!
[20:36] Izumida
    What a shame.
[20:38] Izumida
    Since you changed your roster
    just before the race,
[20:40] Izumida
    everyone's getting your name wrong.
[20:42] Komari
    Huh? I don't care about that.

    of others made me stronger.

    No, no. They're all wrong.

    I can't tell what they feel like from a book.

    I wonder what's different about them.
[02:21] Komari
    No, no. I always think about

    He doesn't lie.
[06:54] Komari
    All I do is lie.
[06:56] Komari
    I never reveal my true feelings.
[06:58] Komari
    I'm done for.
[07:00] Komari
    Midousuji-san is the best person here.
[07:03] Komari
    He might even be the best in the country.
[07:07] Komari
    His beautiful limbs are long
    and perfectly efficient.
[07:09] Komari
    They have just the right amount of muscle.
[07:13] Komari
    And his personality is on a whole other level.
[07:17] (Flashback) Komari
    He's beautiful...
[07:21] Komari
    My heart was pounding that day.
[07:24] Komari
    I want to touch him.
[07:25] Komari
    I want to touch him and see
[07:27] Komari
    if what I'm feeling now is real!
[07:32] (Flashback) Komari
    I'm really sorry for talking to you.
[07:35] (Flashback) Komari
    Excuse me.
[07:37] (Flashback) Midousuji
    You won't find anything facing the ground
    and bowing your head all the time.
[07:45] (Flashback) Midousuji
    Those glasses are fake.
[07:48] (Flashback) Komari
    I...
[07:48] (Flashback) Komari
    No. These are for hiding my
    eyes' movements from oth—
[07:54] Komari
    For some reason I say
[07:56] Komari
    things that don't need to be said
    around Midousuji-san.
[07:58] Komari
    It's because of those eyes.
[08:00] (Flashback) Midousuji
    If you keep making superficial
    excuses and trying to fool people,
[08:04] (Flashback) Midousuji
    you'll never see the truth.
[08:09] (Flashback) Midousuji
    If you're trying to find something,
    take those ornaments off.
[08:14] (Flashback) Midousuji
    Those decorations.
[08:16] (Flashback) Komari
    Decorations...
[08:17] (Flashback) Midousuji
    If you want the truth, you have
    to offer up your entire self.
[08:31] Komari
    I ran...
[08:34] Komari
    What are those eyes?
[08:36] Komari
    When he speaks to me,
    those eyes shake my heart.
[08:39] Komari
    Why?
[08:41] Komari
    I want the truth. It's what I really want.
[08:44] Komari
    I want to touch them and see for myself.
[08:48] Komari
    I want to know, but I must conceal it.
[08:56] Komari
    Why? Why am I turning back?
[09:01] Komari
    Should I be doing this? Is this
    really the right thing?
[09:05] Komari
    I might be on the verge of opening
[09:07] Komari
    a wrapping that should stay closed!
[09:15] (Flashback) Komari
    Midousuji-san!
[09:16] (Flashback) Komari
    I want to touch your muscles!
[09:20] (Flashback) Komari
    What should I do?
[09:23] (Flashback) Midousuji
    I see.
[09:34] (Flashback) Rider 1
    What's gotten into you, kid?
[09:36] (Flashback) Rider 1
    Midousuji's not a girl.
[09:38] (Flashback) Rider 2
    It'd be even worse if he were a girl.
[09:40] (Flashback) Rider 3
    Hey, Midousuji. He wants
    to touch your muscles.
[09:44] (Flashback) Rider 3
    Go on and let him.
[09:49] (Flashback) Komari
    Muscles...
[09:50] Midousuji
    This man... I see.
[09:53] Midousuji
    Muscles. Muscles, huh?
[09:56] Midousuji
    You don't just want to look at muscles,
    you want to touch them and see how they feel.
[10:02] Midousuji
    That's your truth!
[10:15] (Flashback) Komari
    Mi... dousuji-san...
[10:18] (Flashback) Midousuji
    Touching...
[10:19] (Flashback) Midousuji
    Coming in contact with another person's body.
[10:24] (Flashback) Midousuji
    That's not easy.
[10:26] (Flashback) Komari
    I've always wanted to touch
    them since I was a child.
[10:30] (Flashback) Komari
    But I've restrained myself.
[10:33] (Flashback) Komari
    I've kept my desire in check.
[10:36] (Flashback) Komari
    But I can't anymore.
[10:38] (Flashback) Komari
    I want to touch you after
    hearing what you said!
[10:42] (Flashback) Komari
    The fence is in the way!
[10:43] (Flashback) Komari
    This fence is always getting in the way!
[10:45] (Flashback) Midousuji
    Do you want to cross that
    fence and come over here?
[10:50] (Flashback) Komari
    Yes.
[10:54] (Flashback) Midousuji
    Then you'll have to ride a bike!
[11:02] (Flashback) Komari
    Yes, I understand.
[11:04] (Flashback) Komari
    I'm glad to have an answer.
[11:12] Komari
    Since that day,
SIGN    Arashiyama  Bicycle Park
[11:15] Komari
    I've been riding bikes like a man possessed.
[11:18] Komari
    Bicycles are amazing...
[11:22] Komari
    Because we're moving at the same speed,
    I can see his leaping muscles up close.
[11:32] (Flashback) Rider A
    Hey, are you okay?
[11:35] (Flashback) Komari
    I must go after him immediately!
[11:37] (Flashback) Komari
    I must see more of Midousuji-san!
[11:40] (Flashback) Rider A
    He's Kishigami, right? He's good.
[11:43] (Flashback) Rider A
    He's just a beginner, but he's got guts.
[11:46] Komari
    I'm catching up!
[11:48] (Flashback) Midousuji
    Let you touch my muscles?
[11:52] (Flashback) Midousuji
    Sure, you can.
[11:54] (Flashback) Midousuji
    If you can catch me, that is.
[11:58] (Flashback) Midousuji
    On a bike.
[12:00] Komari
    I will catch up, Midousuji-san!
[12:03] Komari
    Midousuji-san is so kind!
[12:05] Komari
    I will catch up!
[12:06] Komari
    To those muscles!
[12:10] Midousuji
    Kishigami... huh.
[12:12] Midousuji
    Was Komari his name?
[12:15] Midousuji
    He's growing.
[12:17] Midousuji
    His growth since he started riding is
    clearly different from an ordinary person's.
[12:24] Midousuji
    No, it doesn't matter.
[12:28] Midousuji
    I am me.

[12:48] Girl 2
    I've been wondering about him, too.
[12:50] Girl 2
    He seems so classy.
[12:52] Mizuta
    Okay. All the first-years are here.
[12:55] First Year
    Excuse me. Kishigami-kun's not here yet.
[12:58] Yamaguchi
    I think he's giving Midousuji-kun a
    massage in the club room, at his request.
[13:03] Mizuta
    Uh, don't worry about him.

    Let's train.

    He probably joined the team to ride,
[13:11] (Flashback) First Year
    but he's being made to give massages.
[13:13] (Flashback) First Year
    I feel sorry for him.
[13:18] (Flashback) Komari
    It took two years for me to get here.
[13:22] (Flashback) Komari
    Thank you, Midousuji-san.
[13:25] (Flashback) Komari
    This feels good.
[13:27] (Flashback) Midousuji
    I'm not doing this for you.
[13:30] (Flashback) Midousuji
    I'm just using you, because you happen
    to be good at giving massages.
[13:35] (Flashback) Komari
    This is the best.
[13:36] (Flashback) Komari
    These are truly good muscles.
[13:38] (Flashback) Komari
    They tingle! They flex!
[13:40] (Flashback) Komari
    They turn! They bounce!
[13:43] (Flashback) Komari
    Oh, look how much!
[13:45] (Flashback) Midousuji
    You...
[13:47] (Flashback) Komari
    I'm sorry for playing with your muscles.
[13:50] (Flashback) Komari
    I was so engrossed in them.
[13:53] (Flashback) Komari
    But I am fulfilled now.
[13:56] (Flashback) Komari
    I finally got to touch your muscles.
[14:00] (Flashback) Midousuji
    Is that enough to satisfy you?
[14:02] (Flashback) Komari
    What? Yes, of course.
[14:05] (Flashback) Komari
    You're letting me touch you.
[14:07] (Flashback) Komari
    After all, I can't be greedy.
[14:10] (Flashback) Midousuji
    But you must be!
[14:13] (Flashback) Midousuji
    Are you satisfied?
[14:16] (Flashback) Midousuji
    You're still keeping yourself under wraps.
[14:19] (Flashback) Komari
    Huh?
[14:20] (Flashback) Midousuji
    Fulfillment and satisfaction are different.
[14:23] (Flashback) Midousuji
    When we first met, you said
    you wanted leaping muscles.
[14:30] (Flashback) Midousuji
    Surely stationary muscles like the ones
    you're touching now don't satisfy you.
[14:35] (Flashback) Midousuji
    Don't you need to touch moving muscles?
[14:39] (Flashback) Midousuji
    You must crystallize your desires.
[14:41] (Flashback) Midousuji
    You must open your wrapping further!
[14:45] (Flashback) Midousuji
    And the case inside that wrapping!
[14:48] (Flashback) Komari
    The case...
[14:50] (Flashback) Midousuji
    Do you want to go to the
    Inter-High this summer?
[14:55] (Flashback) Midousuji
    The good muscles you desire will
    be swarming all over the place
[15:00] (Flashback) Midousuji
    at the front of the Inter-High!

    What?
[15:33] Rider A
    That's Kishigami Komari.
[15:36] Rider A
    You can't be serious. He was
    a total newbie until recently.
[15:39] Rider A
    He didn't even know what gears were.

    Kishigami!
[15:49] Izumida
    The fans have noticed.
[15:51] Izumida
    Does hearing these cheers
    not raise your morale?
[15:54] Komari
    Not much!
[15:58] Komari
    I'm sorry. The heat made me lose my balance.
[16:01] Fan 3
    What was that? A declaration of war?
[16:04] Fan 4
    A first-year challenging a third-year?
[16:06] Izumida
    I see. In other words,
     you think you can do it?
[16:09] Komari
    Is that what you heard?
[16:12] Komari
    Yes. After all, I'll win.
[16:15] Komari
    I can't reach leaping muscles
    if I cross the line from behind.
[16:20] Komari
    In order to touch the ultimate muscles,
[16:23] Komari
    I must cross the finish line first!
[16:27] Fan
    600 meters to go!
[16:29] Komari
    Until then, my hands are
    bound to these handles.
[16:33] Komari
    You don't have to worry.
[16:37] Komari
    I've kept myself under wraps for a long time!

    Despite my behavior,
     I have a lot of restraint!
[16:43] Izumida
    Pressure...
[16:44] Izumida
    And not as another participant.
[16:45] Izumida
    Pressure as a human. He's strong.
[16:48] Izumida
    Interesting. It seems
    you're a worthy opponent.
[16:52] Izumida
    I'll win. And Hakone Academy will
    achieve its first true victory!

    Abs, abs, abs, abs, abs, abs!
[17:19] Izumida
    Buaaa!
[17:20] Izumida
    I am a sprinter...
[17:22] Izumida
    Tag #14.
[17:24] Izumida
    The man bearing the proud
    Hakone Academy's #4.
[17:28] Izumida
    I am simultaneously the
    captain who carries the team.
[17:32] Izumida
    I must always make the right call.
[17:34] Izumida
    I must always make decisions,
     and I must always achieve results.
[17:38] Izumida
    Our reputation transformed
    from "strong" and "amazing"
[17:41] Izumida
    to "it's expected" and "the natural outcome."
[17:44] Izumida
    And in order to carry on
     that tradition, I work tirelessly.
[17:47] Izumida
    I give my time, I give my spirit,
[17:51] Izumida
    and I give my body and soul
    to become stronger and faster.
[17:54] Izumida
    But there's an old saying in the
    Hakone Academy bicycle racing club.
[18:00] Izumida
    "Don't expect praise from anyone."
[18:03] Izumida
    "Otherwise, you can't be the
    Captain of Hakone Academy."
[18:06] (Flashback) Izumida
    Resolve?
[18:08] (Flashback) Fukutomi
    That's right.
[18:10] (Flashback) Fukutomi
    No one will praise you for your efforts.
[18:13] (Flashback) Izumida
    O-Of course not.
[18:15] (Flashback) Izumida
    Hard work isn't something you do to be seen.
[18:18] (Flashback) Fukutomi
    Will you be able to say those
    words under all circumstances?
[18:22] (Flashback) Fukutomi
    When things get hard?
    When you want to give up?
[18:24] (Flashback) Fukutomi
    When you desire recognition?
[18:26] (Flashback) Fukutomi
    You're only human. Those moments
     will come eventually.
[18:30] (Flashback) Fukutomi
    But you must suppress them, swallow them,
    shake them off, and keep on working.
[18:36] (Flashback) Fukutomi
    "If only someone would say something kind
    to me, I could try a little harder."
[18:41] (Flashback) Fukutomi
    If you've ever thought that,
     abandon that hope.
[18:45] (Flashback) Fukutomi
    You won't get it.
[18:47] (Flashback) Fukutomi
    We're expected to be strong.
    We're expected to win.
[18:50] (Flashback) Fukutomi
    After all, Hakone Academy are the champions.
[18:53] (Flashback) Fukutomi
    Can you move forward without praise?
[18:55] (Flashback) Fukutomi
    Can you charge full speed
    through the darkness?
[18:58] (Flashback) Fukutomi
    Can you carry everything and win,
    no matter the circumstances?
[19:03] (Flashback) Fukutomi
    That's the resolve it takes to be the captain
[19:05] (Flashback) Fukutomi
    of the Hakone Academy Bicycle Racing Club.
[19:07] (Flashback) Izumida
    Yes...
[19:09] (Flashback) Izumida
    Yes, sir!
[19:11] Izumida
    I will win, no matter the circumstances.
[19:14] Izumida
    A sprinter is a pointed spear.
[19:16] Izumida
    In the past year, I have been polishing
    this spear while no one was watching.
[19:22] Izumida
    My spear will pierce the line faster
    and more beautifully than anyone else!
[19:26] Izumida
    Abs!
[19:27] Izumida
    Abs! Abs!
[19:28] Izumida
    Abs! Abs!
[19:29] Izumida
    Abs!
[19:32] Komari
    I told you, I can read your movements.
[19:34] Komari
    I just told you.
[19:37] Fan
    #116's reactions are so fast!
[19:39] Fan
    He caught up, even though Izumida accelerated!
[19:41] Fan
    It's like #116 was already
    moving by the time Izumida moved!
[19:44] Komari
    Muscles are honest. Fakes don't work.
[19:47] Komari
    You order them to move,
    and they enter the motion.
[19:50] Komari
    They begin moving hundredths of
    seconds before they enter the motion.
[19:54] Komari
    Especially yours, Izumida-san.
[19:56] Komari
    Your muscles are particularly honest.
[19:58] Komari
    And I won't miss a thing.
[20:01] Komari
    I will win because I know everything
    you'll do before the finish line!

[20:13] Izumida

    Hakone Academy got a late start!
[20:18] Fan
    There's 300 meters remaining
    to the sprint line!
[20:22] Izumida
    He took advantage of a moment's opening!
[20:23] Izumida
    I can't believe he's jumping ahead now!
[20:26] Izumida
    He'll conserve his energy
    until the last hundred meters
[20:28] Izumida
    and match my pace, then attack at the end.
[20:32] Izumida
    So I just need to make sure I
    don't go all out until the end.
[20:36] Izumida
    Did you see the slight slackness in my muscles
    when I thought that, Kishigami Komari?
[20:42] Fan
    Kyoto Fushimi's staying ahead!
[20:46] Izumida
    Abs, abs, abs!
[20:48] Fan
    There's 200 meters left!
[20:49] Fan
    After the corner, there's only
    80 meters to the sprint line!
[20:53] Fan
    Is he going to do it?
[20:55] Fan
    First-year Kishigami is about
    to upset Hakone Academy!
[20:57] Fan
    Kishigami!
[20:58] Fan
    Kishigami!
[20:59] Fan
    Kyoto Fushimi!
[21:00] Komari
    I don't care about their cheers.
[21:02] Komari
    I want to touch muscles. That's all.
[21:05] Komari
    There's nothing blocking me anymore!
[21:08] Mom
    You spilled it. I told you so.
[21:12] Mom
    Here, wrap it up with this.
[21:14] Mom
    Wrap it up.
[21:18] Komari
    Huh?
[21:23] Komari
    Wrap...?
[21:28] Komari
    I won't wrap up anything anymore!
[21:30] Fan
    There's 100 meters to the sprint line!
[23:07] Komari
    Yamaguchi-san, this is a gift from me.
[23:10] Yamaguchi
    Huh?
[23:11] Yamaguchi
    Kishigami got a gift? For me?
[23:14] Yamaguchi
    What's with this box? Why is it closed?
[23:17] Yamaguchi
    He must be up to something.
[23:19] Yamaguchi
    It's preposterous for him to give me a gift.
[23:20] Yamaguchi
    Why me? This is terrifying!
[23:23] Komari
    You're not going to open it?
[23:25] Yamaguchi
    Oh, yeah...
[23:33] Komari
    It's sakuramochi. It's good.

    I told you, I can read your movements.
[00:47] Komari
    I just told you.
[00:50] Fan
    #116's reactions are so fast!
[00:53] Komari
    Muscles are honest. Fakes don't work.
[00:56] Komari
    You order them to move,
    and they enter the motion.
[00:58] Komari
    They begin moving hundredths of
    seconds before they enter the motion.
[01:02] Komari
    Especially yours, Izumida-san.
[01:04] Komari
    Your muscles are particularly honest.
[01:07] Komari
    And I won't miss a thing.
[01:09] Komari
    I will win because I know everything
    you'll do before the finish line!

[01:25] Fan
    Hakone Academy got a late start!

    He took advantage of a moment's opening!

[04:03] Izumida
    But just barely.
[04:05] Izumida
    There's 100 meters left.
[04:07] Izumida
    I'll wait to brake until the last second...
[04:14] Izumida
    And force my body
[04:17] Izumida
    into the inside of the last corner!
[04:21] Izumida
    I did it.
[04:23] Izumida
    There's only 80 meters to the finish line.
[04:25] Izumida
    It's an all-out sprint!
[04:30] Izumida

    It's not uncommon for debris

[04:43] Izumida
    But this timing...
[04:46] Izumida
    Kishighami's ahead of me and moving fast.
[04:50] Izumida
    Should I charge ahead and risk falling
[04:54] Izumida
    or brake to avoid danger?
[04:58] Izumida
    I don't have much time or distance left.
[05:02] Izumida
    I can see the line.
[05:04] Izumida
    If I brake at this speed, I'll lose
    seconds and the chance to win.
[05:12] Izumida
    Andy and Frank are ordering me to avoid it.
    "It's too dangerous. Squeeze the brakes."
[05:20] Izumida
    They're absolutely right.
[05:22] Izumida
    There's no reason to deliberately take risks
[05:25] Izumida
    when you're not at the finish line!
[05:29] Izumida
    I'll never win anything unless I take
    risks and desperately charge ahead.
[05:33] Izumida
    Isn't that what I learned?
[05:39] Izumida
    Andy, Frank... I'm sorry.
[05:45] Izumida
    Please be quiet!
[05:52] Izumida
    What's important is identifying your goal,
[05:57] Izumida
    and how much of a risk you can take.
[06:01] Izumida
    So I must charge straight
    ahead without hesitation!

    Shift your weight and maintain your posture
[06:33] Izumida

    "Unlucky."
[07:15] Izumida
    Let me tell you, Kishigami...
[07:18] Izumida
    You can't know that for sure
    until the line's been crossed.
[07:23] Izumida
    "Unlucky" can be changed to "lucky."

    And that's something only
    you can do for yourself!

    All the muscles in my body.

    My abused muscle fibers are tearing audibly.
[09:26] Izumida
    And my burdened muscle fibers
    will heal overnight when I rest.
[09:32] Izumida
    They will become stronger, thicker,
    and more flexible as they heal.
[09:38] Izumida
    Those are the basics of strength training.
[09:42] Izumida
    I've always felt the sprint
    before the finish line...
[09:47] Izumida
    Going all out. That tension.
[09:50] Izumida
    For me, that is the ultimate
    strength training!

    Compress my heart, pump blood through

[13:27] Shinkai
    That was an awesome sprint.
[13:33] Izumida
    Shinkai-san...
[13:39] Izumida
    Shinkai-san.
[13:41] Izumida
    It was a heavy and difficult year.
[13:47] Izumida
    "A sprinter can't be the captain."
[13:50] Izumida
    "Last year's loss."
[13:53] Izumida
    There were times I nearly couldn't
    withstand those pressures.
[14:00] Izumida
    But now I feel like some
    of it's been wiped away.
[14:06] Izumida
    I carried the strong Hakone
    Academy team on my back,
[14:10] Izumida
    created a new team with my teammates,
     and carved a new path.

    I'm glad we entrusted both of those to you.
[14:41] Shinkai
    You're the pride of Hakone Academy.

    It means he'll definitely
    take down his target.
[15:12] Izumida
    No, that's not it.
[15:15] Izumida
    Now it's a kapow of appreciation.
[15:23] Izumida
    Thank you!
[15:27] Hakogaku 1
    He's gone.
[15:28] Hakogaku 2
    It was only for a moment.
[15:30] Hakogaku 2
    If this were the finish line,
    we could've talked longer.
[15:35] Shinkai
    A moment...
[15:39] Shinkai
    Some things can only be conveyed in a moment.
[15:55] Komari
    I wanted to touch them!
[15:58] Izumida
    Kishigami Komari...
[16:03] Komari
    I was supposed to be able to touch them.
[16:04] Komari
    I pulled ahead 300 meters before the line.
[16:08] Komari
    You closed the gap during the turn,
    but then you slipped on some debris.
[16:13] Komari
    I thought I had won.
[16:15] Komari
    After all, from your muscle mass
     and movements, I expected
[16:21] Komari
    that you wouldn't catch me
     by the end of the sprint!
[16:24] Komari
    But you did.
[16:27] Komari
    In other words, it was that moment.
[16:31] Komari
    In that moment, your muscles...
[16:34] Komari
    They became larger, stronger...
[16:41] Komari
    And far more swollen than I had imagined!
[16:46] Komari
    More virile!
[16:48] Komari
    Fiercer!
[16:52] Komari
    Your muscles exceeded my expectations.
[16:57] Komari
    They are the highest-quality muscles.
[17:02] Komari
    How did you forge them?
[17:05] Komari
    I thought I knew.
[17:08] Komari
    But your muscles exceeded my imagination.
[17:19] Izumida
    Do you want to touch my muscles?
[17:28] Izumida
    I don't mind. After all, the race is over.
[17:53] Komari
    No, thank you.
[17:55] Komari
    I made a rule that I would only touch
    them if I crossed the line first.
[18:02] Izumida
    A rule?
[18:05] Izumida
    This man has his own aesthetic, too.
[18:11] Izumida
    What a sportsman.
[18:13] Izumida
    Though you're my opponent,
    I admire your spirit.
[18:17] Komari
    No, I was just raised that way.
[18:24] Komari
    I really wanted to touch them.
[18:34] Izumida
    This guy is still a first-year.
[18:38] Izumida
    Whatever his motivation,
[18:40] Izumida
    as long as he keeps riding, he may
    eventually pose a threat to Hakone Academy.
[18:47] Izumida
    No, I should be focusing
    on this race right now.
[18:53] Izumida
    The sprint is over.
[18:55] Izumida
    The course will be flat for
    a while, but after that,

[19:44] Shinkai
    Did you not want him to see you, Juichi?
[19:48] Fukutomi
    No. Just watching his sprint was enough.
[19:53] Fukutomi
    He managed to wipe away
    the guilt he was carrying.
[19:58] Fukutomi
    Izumida did well.
[20:02] Shinkai
    He would've been happy to hear that from you.
[20:05] Fukutomi
    Hakone Academy's captain isn't
    someone who should be praised.

    You're strict.

    Come to think of it, I heard
     he was coming today.

    It's suddenly muggy. The air's hot.
[01:58] Naruko
    The temperature rose sharply
    once we exited the tunnel.
[02:01] Naruko
    Our elevation must have
    decreased quite a bit.
[02:04] Naruko
    Once this downhill ends, we'll be in Numata.
[02:08] Naruko
    From there, the road will
    be flat for a while.
[02:10] Naruko
    But once that ends,
     we'll enter the mountains.
[02:14] Naruko
    Naturally, since I'm a genius, I won't let
    Hakone Academy or Kyoto Fushimi get away.
[02:19] Naruko
    But honestly, having to do all of it
    myself puts me at a disadvantage.
[02:30] Naruko
    Damn!
[02:32] Naruko
    Kyoto Fushimi's staggering their line
[02:34] Naruko
    and moving around so I can't get
    out of the wind behind them.
[02:37] Naruko
    Is this one of Midousuji's phases?

    They're absolutely right.

    If I want to get out of the wind, I should
     go get some of my own teammates.

    Right now, I'm just an eyesore.
    They won't cooperate with me.

[02:56] Naruko
    No, wait. I'm a genius.

    Teshima-san, I'll switch with you.
[03:33] Teshima
    Thanks, Onoda.
[03:34] Sakamichi
    We'll catch up to the front somehow.
[03:39] Teshima
    Our situation couldn't be worse.
[03:41] Teshima
    We're pretty far behind the front.
[03:44] Teshima
    I wish we could catch up,
     but they're six plus six plus one.
[03:49] Teshima
    That's thirteen riders. There's only three of us.
[03:53] Teshima
    And one of us is a climber who
    won't be good on the flats.
SIGN    Feed Zone
[03:57] Teshima
    At the feed zone earlier...
[03:59] (Flashback) Sugimoto
    Teshima-san!
[04:00] (Flashback) Danchiku
    Onoda-san!
[04:01] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    Thank you!
[04:03] (Flashback) Miki
    Teshima-san, you're five minutes
    and ten seconds behind the front!
[04:08] (Flashback) Sugimoto
    I-It's okay!
[04:11] (Flashback) Sugimoto
    I-I'm sure you can catch up!
[04:13] (Flashback) Sugimoto
    Please catch up!
[04:15] (Flashback) Sugimoto
    Sohoku, go!
[04:18] (Flashback) Danchiku
    Senpai!
[04:19] (Flashback) Aya
    Good luck!
[04:23] Teshima
    Sugimoto was tearing up.
[04:27] Teshima
    In fact, he was crying.
[04:30] Teshima
    I was in the feed zone last
    year and the year before.
[04:32] Teshima
    I know what it's like
[04:35] Teshima
    to wait and wait for your team to come.
[04:39] Teshima
    It makes you want to cry, but...
[04:43] Teshima
    This time, I have to do something
    about this situation.
[04:48] Teshima
    But how?
[04:55] Ise
    You must be slow if you're
    still hanging around here.
[04:59] Ise
    This year's Sohoku team sure is slow.
[05:04] Teshima
    Pursuers? You can't be serious.
[05:06] Teshima
    They caught up to us from behind?
[05:09] Ise
    You're slower than last year.
[05:12] Ise
    Higo blooms again!
[05:15] Teshima
    Kumamoto Daiichi?
[05:19] Ise
    We trained for the flats
    on the plains of Kumamoto
[05:21] Ise
    and polished our climbing
    on the slopes of Mt. Aso.
[05:24] Ise
    We are the Kumamoto Daiichi
    Higo Superexpress!
[05:31] Teshima
    Kumamoto Daiichi third-year Ise!
[05:33] Ise
    We let Kyoto and Hakone take the sprint
    and deliberately left the pack late.
[05:40] Ise
    If we'd left early, we would've
    ended up like you, in pieces!
[05:47] Ise
    This year's Kumamoto Daiichi is smart.
[05:50] Ise
    We planned to delay our move and chase after
    the front with all six of our members.
[05:56] Teshima
    The front?
[05:58] Teshima
    They're heading for the
    front? In that case...
[06:02] Sakamichi
    E-Excuse me, Ise-san...
[06:04] Sakamichi
    You rode with a very energetic guy
    named Taura-san last year, didn't you?
[06:10] Ise
    Are you trying to say we've changed,
[06:14] Ise
    tag #1, Onoda-kun?
[06:17] Sakamichi
    Oh, no! Um, I'm sorry if I offended you!
[06:22] Ise
    You're right.
[06:24] Ise
    I took over the club after Taura-san.
[06:28] Ise
    I don't want to face the pain we experienced
    last year again, so I've become a demon.
[06:35] Ise
    The underclassmen call me the Demon Sergeant!
[06:41] Teshima
    Ise!
[06:44] Teshima
    Why don't we work together
    until we reach the front?
[06:48] Teshima
    Us and Kumamoto Daiichi...
[06:51] Teshima
    In a road race, the more people there
    are in a group, the faster they go!
[06:58] Teshima
    Not a bad deal, right?
[07:03] Ise
    Didn't I mention last
    year's painful experience?
[07:08] Ise
    We're done with cooperating!
[07:12] Sakamichi
    That's right.
[07:14] Sakamichi
    Last year, during the third day's
    final stage, Kumamoto Daiichi
[07:18] Sakamichi
    was abandoned by the guys from Hiroshima.
[07:26] Ise
    I've got another piece of bad news for you.
[07:30] Ise
    The pack behind us is slowly gaining speed.
[07:34] Ise
    If you keep riding at that pace,
[07:38] Ise
    forget about the front—the pack
    behind will catch up to you.
[07:45] Imaizumi
    How could we have fallen so far behind?
[07:48] Imaizumi
    It's because I made the wrong choice.
[07:52] Teshima
    Forget about the front
    because of the pack behind...
[07:55] Teshima
    I didn't plan on giving up,
[07:59] Teshima
    but should we leave Naruko alone and...
[08:06] Daiichi
    Captain Ise!
[08:07] Daiichi
    The pursuers behind us
    have fallen out of sight!
[08:10] Daiichi
    We've shaken off Sohoku!
[08:12] Ise
    Roger that.
[08:14] Ise
    They were as persistent this
    year as they were last year.
[08:18] Ise
    Sohoku's impressive.
[08:21] Ise
    But their race is over now.
[08:24] Ise
    Kumamoto Daiichi finished them off.
[08:28] Ise
    Since they're not trying to catch up,
    they must've lost the will to fight.
[08:33] Ise
    They've given up
[08:36] Ise
    on this race!
[08:49] Teshima
    What's going on? Onoda?
[08:52] Teshima
    What is this rising pressure?
[08:56] Imaizumi
    Onoda?
[08:58] Imaizumi
    Despite the circumstances,
[09:01] Imaizumi
    he's smiling?
[09:05] Teshima
    What's up, Onoda?
[09:07] Sakamichi
    Uh, sorry.
[09:10] Sakamichi
    I know I shouldn't be smiling.
[09:13] Sakamichi
    I just couldn't help but imagine...
[09:17] Sakamichi
    Kumamoto Daiichi said the
    pack is close behind us.
[09:21] Sakamichi
    The board on the referee car just said
    there's two guys riding ahead of the pack.
[09:30] Sakamichi
    I thought it might be possible that
[09:34] Sakamichi
    Aoyagi-san and Kaburagi-kun will
    catch up and ride with us again.
[09:40] Sakamichi
    I'm sure we'll be faster
    when there's five of us.
[09:45] Imaizumi
    Aoyagi-san and Kaburagi?
[09:48] Teshima
    They could catch up?
[09:51] Teshima
    Faster with five?
[09:54] Sakamichi
    Yeah.
[09:56] Sakamichi
    But it's still just my imagination.
[09:59] Teshima
    Since we've fallen behind the front,
    it means we're closer to the back.
[10:04] Teshima
    I hadn't even considered that.
[10:08] Teshima
    I hadn't considered that
    we'd increased our odds of
[10:10] Teshima
    grouping up with our teammates behind us.
[10:13] Sakamichi
    B-But it's not guaranteed!
[10:16] Sakamichi
    It's just a possibility!
[10:20] Teshima
    We can ride with Kaburagi and Aoyagi again.
[10:29] Teshima
    No. We're in the middle of a race.
[10:32] Teshima
    And I'm the captain.
[10:35] Teshima
    That's not happening, Onoda.
[10:37] Teshima
    Kumamoto Daiichi passed us,
[10:40] Teshima
    but we're still chasing after the lead pack.
[10:45] Teshima
    And I...
[10:47] Teshima
    have abandoned them!
[10:50] (Flashback) Teshima
    Then this is goodbye.
[10:53] Teshima
    They're not coming.
[10:55] Teshima
    We won't slow down to wait for them, either.
[10:59] Teshima
    Don't look back.
[11:00] Teshima
    We'll catch up to the front.
[11:03] Teshima
    We'll chase after them as quickly as we can.
[11:05] Teshima
    That's an order! Pedal as hard as you can!
[11:08] Teshima
    We must catch up to Hakone Academy
     and Kyoto Fushimi!
[11:12] Sakamichi
    Yes, sir!
[11:17] Imaizumi
    Onoda's smiling again?
[11:20] Teshima
    Onoda, let's switch!
[11:22] Sakamichi
    Th-Thank you.
[11:25] Teshima
    What's going on, Onoda?
[11:28] Teshima
    Why are you smiling?
[11:30] Teshima
    Has the heat made you lose your mind?
[11:33] Teshima
    I said we're chasing after
    the front at full speed.
[11:36] Sakamichi
    Yes, sir.
[11:38] Sakamichi
    Oh, um... Aoyagi-san promised he'd be back.
[11:45] (Flashback) Aoyagi
    I'm bringing him back.
[11:47] Sakamichi
    Teshima-san, you said the
    eighth reason was hope.
[11:51] (Flashback) Aoyagi
    Those seven more reasons my choice
    is reckless... Is there an eighth?
[11:56] (Flashback) Teshima
    What? The eighth?
[11:58] (Flashback) Teshima
    There's...
[12:01] (Flashback) Teshima
    It's a tiny shred of hope!
[12:04] Teshima
    You didn't need to remember that.
[12:07] Sakamichi
    I think they've broken through the seven
    obstacles and are headed this way.
[12:13] Teshima
    Sorry, but that's too optimistic.
[12:17] Teshima
    We're heading for the front
    as quickly as we can.
[12:21] Teshima
    How will they catch up?
[12:23] Sakamichi
    The mountains were probably hard for them.
[12:27] Sakamichi
    But this course
[12:29] Sakamichi
    has been a gently sloping downhill
    since we exited the tunnel.
[12:35] Sakamichi
    I'm sure they'll catch up.
[12:38] Sakamichi
    After all,
[12:40] Sakamichi
    they're sprinters.
[12:48] Kaburagi
    Aoyagi-san...
[12:50] Aoyagi
    What is it?
[12:54] Fan
    They're faster than the
    guys we've seen so far.
[12:56] Fan
    The wind was making the leaves shake.
[12:59] Fan
    They're the guys who competed
    for yesterday's sprint.
[13:02] Kaburagi
    I can hear the fans saying we're fast,
     but this is normal, right?
[13:08] Kaburagi
    I'm an all-rounder, not a sprinter.
[13:12] Aoyagi
    You're right.
[13:21] Teshima
    No, stay strong.
[13:24] Teshima
    Putting your hopes in the guys behind
    you is proof you're wavering.
[13:27] Teshima
    Don't turn back, Teshima Junta.
[13:30] Teshima
    Aoyagi is a good guy.
[13:32] Teshima
    We've fought and eaten
    together for three years.
[13:36] Teshima
    Pick up the pace!
[13:38] Teshima
    Earnest, silent, and
    considerate of his juniors...
[13:43] Teshima
    But I've abandoned him!
[13:45] Teshima
    He's not coming!
[13:48] Teshima
    Let's go faster!
[13:50] Fan
    It's the three-man Sohoku team!
[13:52] Fan
    You can do it!
[13:55] Fan
    Some guys are coming from behind!
[13:56] Fan
    There's two of them!
[13:59] Teshima
    Two?
[14:01] Teshima
    No, it's some other team.
[14:04] Teshima
    They're chasing after us
    like Kumamoto Daiichi did.
[14:07] Teshima
    Don't turn back, Teshima Junta!
[14:18] Teshima
    I can't let them catch up to us!
[14:21] Sakamichi
    Teshima-san!
[14:23] Sakamichi
    Behind us! Look behind us!
[14:28] Teshima
    Wishes made so long ago...
[14:33] Teshima
    sometimes come true.
[14:39] (Flashback) Teshima
    It's finally over.
[14:40] (Flashback) Teshima
    Laundry, cleanup,
     and prepping for tomorrow...
[14:44] (Flashback) Teshima
    Working support for the Inter-High
    is harder than I thought.
[14:48] (Flashback) Teshima
    Being a first-year is hard.
[14:50] (Flashback) Aoyagi
    Yeah.
[14:53] (Flashback) Teshima
    But Aoyagi...
[14:55] (Flashback) Teshima
    Someday, let's race in the Inter-High.
[14:59] (Flashback) Teshima
    Let's compete on the ultimate stage.
[15:02] (Flashback) Teshima
    Let's do it by the time we're third-years.
[15:06] (Flashback) Teshima
    I'll be a climber, and you'll be a sprinter.
[15:10] (Flashback) Teshima
    Just kidding.
[15:12] (Flashback) Aoyagi
    When the time comes,
    I'll pull you to the mountains.
[15:24] (Flashback) Teshima
    I'm counting on you.
[15:26] (Flashback) Aoyagi
    Yeah.
[15:33] Teshima
    Our small wish...
[15:40] Teshima
    Onoda, are those...
[15:42] Sakamichi
    Yes. They're yellow jerseys.
[15:46] Teshima
    I'd given up hope long ago, but...
[15:52] Teshima
    Why do you always come
[15:57] Teshima
    to save me only when I'm in trouble?
[16:04] Teshima
    You idiot!
[16:07] Teshima
    Aoyagi!
[16:12] Aoyagi
    I brought the idiot back again, Junta.
[16:18] Teshima
    So casually, and without a
    single change in expression...
[16:23] Teshima
    How can you be there like that?
[16:28] Teshima
    I see them, Onoda.
[16:31] Teshima
    I see them, too.
[16:35] Teshima
    The teammates I thought
    would never come back.
[16:42] Kaburagi
    We're here, Aoyagi-san.
[16:44] Kaburagi
    Three yellow jerseys.
[16:46] Kaburagi
    We're almost to our team.
[16:49] Kaburagi
    It's Onoda-san, Imaizumi-san,
    and Teshima-san.
[16:52] Kaburagi
    This is crazy. It feels
    like it's been so long.
[16:55] Kaburagi
    We're almost there.
[17:03] Teshima
    Aoyagi...
[17:06] Teshima
    That shred of hope...
[17:09] Teshima
    The tiny wish I mentioned then...
[17:12] Teshima
    Those wishes...
[17:15] Teshima
    As we're struggling, they suddenly come true.
[17:20] Teshima
    That's how it is.
[17:24] Teshima
    I met you the day I was
    thinking about quitting cycling.
[17:30] (Flashback) Aoyagi
    ..."one" for number one.
[17:33] Teshima
    I failed to make it to the Inter-High,
     but you charmed me.
[17:37] Teshima
    When I had lost hope, you asked me
     if I wanted to be your partner.
[17:43] (Flashback) Teshima
    We're a two-man team.
[17:47] Teshima
    During our second-year training camp,
[17:49] Teshima
    when I had given up hope,
    you told me to keep riding.
[17:53] (Flashback) Aoyagi
    We'll go together.
[17:56] (Flashback) Aoyagi
    Otherwise, there's no point.
[18:00] Teshima
    During this year's training camp,
[18:02] Teshima
    in the final sprint of my race against Koga,
[18:07] Teshima
    you were the only one who believed in me.
[18:10] (Flashback) Aoyagi
    Junta, win!
[18:13] Teshima
    And now, you promised you'd return.
[18:17] Teshima
    You actually left the team and returned
[18:22] Teshima
    with our teammate in tow.
[18:29] Teshima
    Aoyagi...
[18:31] Teshima
    Our two-man team...
[18:35] Teshima
    can still ride at this Inter-High!
[18:46] Onoda
    Kaburagi-kun and Aoyagi-san
    have just rejoined the team!
[18:51] Kaburagi
    Sorry we're late!
[18:53] Teshima
    How have you been, Kaburagi?
[18:55] Kaburagi
    Good, sir!
[18:56] Teshima
    Well done making it back!
[18:58] Teshima
    You shouldn't have fallen
    behind if you're feeling good!
[19:01] Kaburagi
    Sorry!
[19:03] Imaizumi
    In this precarious situation,
    we got five of our members together.
[19:09] Imaizumi
    Just like Onoda said.
[19:12] Teshima
    Koga did?
[19:14] Kaburagi
    He waited for me
[19:16] Kaburagi
    and pushed my back during the climb.
[19:20] Kaburagi
    I was really grateful.
[19:23] Sakamichi
    But you're most grateful
    to Aoyagi-san, right?
[19:27] Kaburagi
    What are you talking about?
[19:29] Kaburagi
    Aoyagi fell behind, like me.
[19:32] Kaburagi
    We had no choice but to work together.
[19:35] Sakamichi
    Aoyagi-san left the team by himself
    so he could go back and save you.
[19:42] Kaburagi
    Huh?
[19:43] Sakamichi
    Teshima-san tried to stop him, but he
    promised to bring you back and left.
[19:48] Kaburagi
    A-Are you being serious?
[19:55] (Flashback) Aoyagi
    So follow me. Don't fall behind.
[19:59] Kaburagi
    Seriously?
[20:02] Aoyagi
    Yeah.
[20:03] Kaburagi
    Wh-Why didn't you say so?
[20:07] Aoyagi
    I told you a bunch of times.
[20:10] Kaburagi
    Th-Th-Th-Th-Th-Then...
[20:16] Kaburagi
    I owe you the most!
[20:19] Aoyagi
    Yeah.
[20:23] Sakamichi
    You just noticed, Kaburagi-kun?
[20:25] Kaburagi
    Huh?
[20:27] Kaburagi
    I said some pretty rude things, didn't I?
[20:31] Aoyagi
    Yeah.
[20:33] Kaburagi
    Then I'm the most sorry to you!
[20:47] Aoyagi
    I'm back, Junta!
[20:51] Teshima
    Yeah! Somewhere in my heart,
     I believed this would happen, Aoyagi!
[20:57] Teshima
    Thanks for coming back!
[21:01] Teshima
    There's five of us.
[21:02] Teshima
    Kyoto Fushimi, Hakone Academy, and
    Kumamoto Daiichi are ahead of us.
[21:06] Teshima
    Naruko's working hard on his own.
[21:09] Teshima
    Sprinters to the front!
[21:11] Teshima
    Sohoku is accelerating!
[21:14] Teshima
    We'll work together and
     catch up to the lead pack!
[21:17] Kaburagi
    Yes, sir!
[21:19] Sakamichi
    Yes, sir!
[21:21] Teshima
    We're going!
[21:23] Sakamichi
    To the front!
[21:29] Manami
    Once these flats end,
    we'll be in the mountains.
[21:36] Manami
    You'll come, won't you, Sakamichi-kun?
[23:14] Kaburagi
    For a minute there,
     I thought we were done for.
[23:18] Kaburagi
    Aoyagi-san, I'm seriously
    most grateful to you.
[23:21] Teshima
    Then you can't be rude to him anymore.
[23:23] Kaburagi
    Yes, sir. Sorry, Aoyagi-san.
[23:27] Sakamichi
    How did you and Aoyagi-san
     make it back here?
[23:29] Kaburagi
    Well...
[23:31] Kaburagi
    I-It's a secret!
[23:33] Aoyagi
    Together we sang Love—
[23:34] Kaburagi
    Aoyagi!

    Onoda-kun, the entire building
    isn't Koga-san's house!
[02:09] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    It's so tall!
[02:10] (Flashback) Naruko
    That's just how apartment buildings are.
[02:12] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    There are so many cars!
[02:14] (Flashback) Naruko
    Yeah, because a lot of people live here.
[02:17] (Flashback) Imaizumi
    Don't you have any relatives
    who live in apartments?
[02:20] (Flashback) Kaburagi
    It's huge! It's so tall!
[02:23] (Flashback) Imaizumi
    Another one who doesn't have any.
[02:24] (Flashback) Aoyagi
    Let's go.
[02:24] Kaburagi
    Ow, ow! Please stop, Aoyagi-san!
[02:33] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    We're so high up!
[02:34] (Flashback) Kaburagi
    This is crazy!
[02:35] (Flashback) Kaburagi
    Hey, isn't that our school?
[02:37] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    Huh? What? Where?
[02:38] (Flashback) Naruko
    Onoda-kun! Showoff!
[02:40] (Flashback) Imaizumi
    I'm losing my desire to stop them.
SIGN    Kimitaka
[02:42] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    Sorry for making such a fuss.
[02:44] (Flashback) Kaburagi
    Sorry!
[02:46] Aoyagi
    I'll have to keep an eye
    on him during the race.
[02:50] (Flashback) Koga
    Hey, thanks for coming.
[02:54] (Flashback) Koga
    Let's get this meeting started.
[02:56] (Flashback) Koga
    We won't be practicing riding,
     but stay focused.
[03:00] (Flashback) All
    Yes, sir!
[03:03] (Flashback) Kaburagi
    That's a huge monitor.
[03:06] (Flashback) Kaburagi
    Are we gonna watch a movie or something?
[03:08] (Flashback) Koga
    It's data.
[03:09] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    Data?
[03:11] (Flashback) Koga
    Road racing is also a
    battle against the road.
[03:14] (Flashback) Koga
    The upperclassmen used
    to say it all the time.
[03:18] (Flashback) Koga
    This is data on this year's
    Tochigi Inter-High course.
[03:24] (Flashback) Koga
    I attached a camera to my bike
    and rode the whole thing myself.
[03:29] (Flashback) All
    What?
[03:30] (Flashback) Kaburagi
    Whoa!
[03:31] (Flashback) Koga
    I told Aoyagi and Teshima what I was doing.
[03:34] Imaizumi
    He rode the whole course alone?
[03:37] Naruko
    Is this four-eyes serious?
[03:39] Naruko
    He said it so casually, but that's...
[03:42] Sakamichi
    Koga-san is amazing!
[03:45] (Flashback) Koga
    I felt things like small gaps and
     challenging sections not on the map.
[03:52] (Flashback) Koga
    And now, I'll tell you all about them.
[03:54] (Flashback) All
    Yes, sir!
[03:59] (Flashback) Koga
    That's all from me.
[04:02] (Flashback) Koga
    To round things off,
     I have a question for you.
[04:07] (Flashback) Koga
    Is there anything you want
    to try at the Inter-High?
[04:11] (Flashback) Koga
    If you're always on
     the defensive, you can't win.
[04:13] (Flashback) Koga
    You'll never get any chances unless you try.
[04:16] (Flashback) Koga
    Those are Junta's words.
[04:19] (Flashback) Koga
    It doesn't matter what it is.
[04:20] (Flashback) Koga
    We'll go over them and incorporate anything
    that seems possible into our orders.
[04:24] (Flashback) Koga
    You can speak freely.
[04:25] (Flashback) Imaizumi
    I want to cross the finish line!
[04:27] (Flashback) Naruko
    Hey, hotshot! That's mine!
[04:29] (Flashback) Naruko
    Saying it first doesn't mean you get it!
[04:30] (Flashback) Kaburagi
    I'll be our ace and win the race!
[04:32] (Flashback) Kaburagi
    After all, I'm an all-rounder!
[04:34] (Flashback) Aoyagi
    I'd like to go for the sprint.
[04:37] (Flashback) Naruko
    I'll be our ace!
[04:39] (Flashback) Imaizumi
    Why not let me do it?
[04:40] (Flashback) Imaizumi
    Your hair makes you stand out enough already.
[04:43] (Flashback) Naruko
    Well, yeah.
[04:44] (Flashback) Naruko
    But you stand out the
    most by finishing first!
[04:46] (Flashback) Kaburagi
    I'll do it! Seriously, I'll go anywhere!
[04:48] (Flashback) Naruko
    No, me!
[04:49] (Flashback) Imaizumi
    Forget about you.
[04:49] (Flashback) Koga
    No one's in agreement.
[04:51] (Flashback) Kaburagi
    I can do it!
[04:55] (Flashback) Koga
    Onoda.
[04:56] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    Huh?
[04:58] (Flashback) Koga
    Don't you have anything?
[04:59] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    Oh, well...
[05:01] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    I just want to ride as hard
    as I can and help the team.
[05:07] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    Oh, but...
[05:10] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    If I can make just one request...
[05:16] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    I made a promise over the winter.
[05:19] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    If possible...
[05:21] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    I'd like to race against Hakone
    Academy's Manami Sangaku-kun.
[05:25] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    Somewhere.
[05:27] Koga
    Race...
[05:29] Koga
    I never thought I'd hear that word
    come from Onoda's mouth.
[05:32] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    Oh, actually...
[05:34] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    When I ran into Manami-kun,
[05:36] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    we talked about how nice the
    second day's mountains will be.
[05:40] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    But only if it's possible.
[05:44] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    What's important is the team's victory.
[05:48] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    I just...
[05:50] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    I just want to give everything
    I have down to the very last drop.
[05:56] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    I want to experience that kind
    of race against Manami-kun again.
[06:01] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    That's all.
[06:08] (Flashback) Koga
    You were last year's hero.
    What are you talking about?
[06:11] (Flashback) Koga
    No one deserves to be selfish as much as you.
[06:17] (Flashback) Naruko
    Jeez, Onoda-kun.
[06:18] (Flashback) Imaizumi
    Yeah, you're being selfish.
[06:20] (Flashback) Aoyagi
    Let's do what we can to make that happen.
[06:24] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    Oh, no, no, no! Guys!
[06:26] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    It doesn't have to happen! Really!
[06:29] (Flashback) Imaizumi
    Don't be shy.
[06:30] (Flashback) Koga
    I'll talk to Junta.
[06:33] (Flashback) Koga
    I'm sure it'll depend on the situation,
    but I'll ask him to consider it.
[06:37] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    But...
[06:39] Koga
    The second day's mountains, right?
[06:42] Teshima
    Next! Aoyagi, move up and pull!
[06:44] Kaburagi
    Yes, sir!
[06:46] Teshima
    Keep up the pace! Focus!
[06:48] Teshima
    We'll catch up to the front!
[06:50] Kaburagi
    Yes, sir!
[06:51] Sakamichi
    I'll pull next!
[06:53] Teshima
    Wait.
[06:55] Teshima
    Onoda, you don't need to
    be part of the rotation.
[06:58] Teshima
    Save your energy on these flats.
[07:00] Sakamichi
    Huh?
[07:02] Teshima
    That's an order, Onoda.
[07:04] Teshima
    Take the second day's mountain result!
[07:08] Sakamichi
    But, um, I...
[07:10] Teshima
    It's starting to seem possible.
[07:13] Teshima
    We could reach the front.
[07:15] Teshima
    Be the motivation that makes us
     achieve that possibility, Onoda.
[07:20] Sakamichi
    Motivation...
[07:21] Teshima
    You only need one goal
    when you're struggling.
[07:27] Teshima
    We'll take you to the mountains.
[07:30] Imaizumi
    That's right.
[07:31] Imaizumi
    I'll pull you there.
[07:34] Sakamichi
    Imaizumi-kun.
[07:36] Imaizumi
    Onoda, don't speak and follow me!
[07:40] Teshima
    Imaizumi.
[07:44] Sakamichi
    Guys...
[07:46] Sakamichi
    Thank you.
[07:48] Sakamichi
    Understood. I... I...
[07:53] Sakamichi
    I'll conserve my energy with all my might!
[07:56] Kaburagi
    Onoda-san.
[07:57] Teshima
    That's not something you
    do with all your might.
[08:00] Teshima
    Let's go, Sohoku!
[08:02] All
    Yeah!
[08:05] Fan
    The lead pack is here!
[08:06] Fan
    Hakone Academy's in front!
[08:08] Fan
    Kyoto Fushimi's behind them!
[08:11] Fan
    There's one Sohoku rider behind them!
[08:14] Fan
    There are thirteen guys in the lead pack!
[08:17] Izumida
    Fall back, Doubashi. Well done.
[08:20] Izumida
    Yuto, to the front.
[08:22] Izumida
    Your mountains are finally here.
[08:25] Yuto
    Yes, sir.
[08:27] Fan
    They sent their climber to the front!
[08:29] Fan
    Hakone Academy is in
    their mountain formation!
[08:32] Izumida
    The course is entering a mountain
    stage with a wide, scenic road.
[08:37] Izumida
    Beyond it rises the treasure of Gunma,
[08:40] Izumida
    which houses the Ikaho Hot Spring
     along its slope.
[08:43] Izumida
    Rising 1,391 meters above sea level is
[08:47] Izumida
    Mount Haruna.
[08:50] Izumida
    The second day's mountain line is at
    the highest point of National Route 33,
[08:57] Izumida
    which runs along the mountainside,
     at 1,170 meters.
[09:06] Kuroda
    Why do you keep glancing behind you, Manami?
[09:10] Kuroda
    Focus on the race.
[09:12] Manami
    I was just thinking about how nice the
    weather is and wanted to check out the view.
[09:17] Manami
    Just kidding.
[09:19] Manami
    I can't fool you, can I?
[09:20] Kuroda
    No.
[09:22] Kuroda
    You're not worried about
     Kyoto Fushimi behind us, are you?
[09:25] Kuroda
    Is it someone behind them?
[09:28] Manami
    Yes.
[09:30] Kuroda
    We're riding hard at the Inter-High,
     but you're thinking about your own race?
[09:36] Manami
    I suppose I am.
[09:38] Manami
    Wouldn't it be a waste not to race here?
[09:42] Manami
    The team's doing well, and I took the
     first day's mountains like I was ordered to.
[09:48] Kuroda
    Is it Sohoku's four-eyes?
[09:50] Manami
    Yes, him.
[09:52] Manami
    We made a promise.
[09:55] Kuroda
    You can't.
[09:58] Kuroda
    I've been asked to lead the
    team through the mountains.
[10:02] Kuroda
    We have over ten kilometers
     of climb ahead of us.
[10:04] Kuroda
    You should rest.
[10:05] Kuroda
    If we send anyone, it'll be Yuto.
[10:08] Kuroda
    The Inter-High has a third day.
[10:10] Kuroda
    If we send our ace climber today
[10:13] Kuroda
    and you're too tired to ride tomorrow,
    then our strategy will be ruined.
[10:20] Kuroda
    Huh?
[10:21] Manami
    Kuroda-san.
[10:23] Manami
    Riding hard today so I can take it easy tomorrow
[10:28] Manami
    is not how I'm approaching this race.
[10:33] Kuroda
    His focus is increasing as we
    get closer to the mountains.
[10:37] Manami
    Sorry. When he shows up, I'm going.
[10:42] Doubashi
    What kind of reason is that, Manami?
[10:45] Doubashi
    He overrode Kuroda-san's orders.
[10:47] Kuroda
    There's no argument that will convince him.
[10:52] Kuroda
    Riding without reason
     is his greatest strength.
[10:56] Kuroda
    I understand what you want.
[10:59] Kuroda
    But...
[11:00] Kuroda
    But, Manami, there are two conditions
    that will prevent you from going.
[11:05] Kuroda
    The first is if Sohoku doesn't make it here.
[11:09] Kuroda
    If the four-eyes in question never shows up.
[11:12] Kuroda
    I don't know why he even thinks
    Sohoku will catch up.
[11:17] Kuroda
    But he's an oddball.
[11:20] Manami
    What's the second one?
[11:22] Kuroda
    Second...
[11:24] Kuroda
    We're entering the final
    mountains of the second day.
[11:27] Kuroda
    Kyoto Fushimi and Midousuji
    haven't won any titles yet.
[11:31] Kuroda
    He'll make his move before long.
[11:33] Kuroda
    You won't have time to race.
[11:38] Doubashi
    Kuroda-san! Kyoto Fushimi's on the move!
[11:41] Doubashi
    There's three of them!
[11:42] Doubashi
    Second-year climber Kiriya and
    third-year launching pad Mizuta
[11:46] Doubashi
    are accompanying their ace, Midousuji!
[11:51] Kuroda
    Yuto, Manami!
[11:53] Kuroda
    Stop them!
[12:00] Yuto
    You're not going anywhere.
[12:01] Manami
    You heard him.
[12:04] Manami
    You're right. If they get ahead,
     then I won't get to race, Kuroda-san.
[12:13] Mizuta
    They're so fast!
[12:15] Kiriya
    They stopped us immediately.
[12:17] Kiriya
    These are Hakone Academy's climbers?
[12:19] Midousuji
    One more time.
[12:22] Midousuji
    We'll attack again!
[12:24] Mizuta
    What?
[12:25] Kiriya
    Huh?
[12:26] Kiriya
    Wait. Wait, Midousuji-kun.
[12:28] Kiriya
    We're still out of breath.
[12:29] Kiriya
    We can't do that again right away.
[12:31] Midousuji
    We will.
[12:34] Midousuji
    Kiriya-kun, are you stronger
    than the two in front of us?
[12:39] Kiriya
    Wh-What?
[12:40] Kiriya
    Of course not.
[12:41] Kiriya
    They're good enough to be aces in
    terms of both strength and power.
[12:44] Midousuji
    Right? Then there's only
    one thing you can do.
[12:50] Midousuji
    If you're inferior in every way,
     then all you can do
[12:55] Midousuji
    is pedal like your life depends on it.
[12:59] Midousuji
    And now is the time.
[13:04] Midousuji
    Resume Phase 28!
[13:06] Midousuji
    Keep pedaling until your legs break!
[13:09] Fan
    Kyoto Fushimi is accelerating!
[13:11] Fan
    They're attacking again!
[13:13] Midousuji
    Our attack must succeed, Zakus!
[13:18] Kuroda
    Manami, Yuto! After them!
[13:21] Yuto
    Got it.
[13:21] Manami
    I know.
[13:23] Manami
    I'll stop this attack.
[13:26] Manami
    After all, I have my own plans.
[13:28] Manami
    Go!
[13:31] Kiriya
    They caught up in a flash!
[13:39] Kiriya
    And he passed us!
[13:42] Mizuta
    The wind?
[13:43] Kiriya
    I thought I saw wings for a second.
[13:48] Manami
    Sorry, but you're not going
    anywhere, Midousuji-kun.
[13:52] Kiriya
    They're monsters. They're on
    a different level from us.
[13:55] Kiriya
    We can't fight against them and win!
[13:59] Midousuji
    Manami.
[14:03] Midousuji
    It's been a while.
[14:05] Manami
    I don't think we've spoken
    since last year's Inter-High.
[14:09] Midousuji
    A guy who enjoys fighting.
[14:12] Midousuji
    A guy whose talents are wasted.
[14:15] Midousuji
    A guy who isn't a Zaku.
[14:18] Midousuji
    The guy who lost to Sakamichi last year!
[14:26] Mizuta
    Brutal! He's hitting him where it hurts.
[14:29] Mizuta
    If I were in his position, that's the
     last thing I'd want to hear.
[14:36] Manami
    Oh, that?
[14:38] Mizuta
    Huh?
[14:40] Manami
    If losing bothers me,
     I should remove my jersey.
[14:45] Manami
    That's what he told me.
[14:47] Manami
    But I'm still wearing mine.
[14:52] Manami
    I realized then
[14:54] Manami
    that I was still in the middle.
[14:57] Manami
    It's not over yet.
[15:00] Manami
    I'm glad I didn't end it.
[15:03] Manami
    Someone even faster than me
    is waiting beyond the peak.
[15:08] Manami
    What could be more exciting?
[15:11] Manami
    I can go all out at the peak.
[15:13] Manami
    It means I'll feel even more
    alive than I ever have before.
[15:21] Midousuji
    This man, Manami...
[15:24] Midousuji
    I thought he'd given up after being
    hurt last year, but now I know.
[15:32] Midousuji
    He's in perfect condition.
[15:35] Midousuji
    This attack won't go well.
[15:39] Midousuji
    Resume Phase 28, Zakus!
[15:43] Kiriya
    I-I can't! Midousuji-kun, let's fall back!
[15:47] Kiriya
    This is reckless!
[15:48] Mizuta
    Hey, Kiriya!
[15:49] Kiriya
    This attack can't possible succeed—
[15:52] Midousuji
    I said we're doing it now.
[15:59] Midousuji
    I have my reasons, but you don't need
    to know what they are right now.
[16:05] Midousuji
    We have to make it happen now.
[16:14] Midousuji
    Cheers from behind? Could it be?
[16:20] Midousuji
    They're coming now?
[16:25] Kuroda
    Hey, you hear that?
[16:27] Doubashi
    Yeah, Kuroda-san.
[16:29] Kyoto
    There's noise coming from
    behind us, Yamaguchi-san!
[16:31] Kyoto
    Is someone coming?
[16:33] Kuroda
    A Sohoku rider?
[16:36] Doubashi
    There's a lot of them. It's not just one rider.
[16:39] Doubashi
    That's...
[16:43] Ise
    I see the front!
[16:45] Ise
    Higo blooms again!
[16:47] Manami
    It's not Sohoku.
[16:48] Kuroda
    K-Kumamoto Daiichi.
[16:50] Ise
    That's right!
[16:51] Ise
    We're the Higo Superexpress,
    Kumamoto Daiichi!
[16:56] Mizuta
    Did they pass them?
[16:58] Doubashi
    It's not Sohoku?
[17:03] Midousuji
    My Zakus reported that they
    were plotting to catch up later
[17:07] Midousuji
    while they were in the pack.
[17:12] Midousuji
    But they actually did it.
[17:14] Midousuji
    What perfect timing.
[17:17] Midousuji
    I'll use everything I can.
[17:20] Midousuji
    Now's my chance.
[17:21] Midousuji
    We'll use this confusion to our advantage.
[17:26] Ise
    I'm the rumored Kumamoto Daiichi captain,
     the Demon Sergeant Ise Shinya!
[17:32] Ise
    Surprised? This is Kumamoto Daiichi!
[17:34] Ise
    No one's team is stronger than ours!
[17:36] Ise
    Our team makes the impossible possible!
[17:40] Fan
    Kumamoto is amazing!
[17:42] Fan
    They caught up in the mountains!
[17:45] Kuroda
    Seriously, Kumamoto Daiichi?
[17:47] Kuroda
    They passed Sohoku?
[17:49] Ise
    Fujiwara, once we catch up to them,
    wait for an opportunity to jump ahead.
[17:53] Ise
    I expect you to win the
    mountain result number tag.
[17:55] Fujiwara
    You can count on me, Ise-san.
[17:57] Fujiwara
    I promise I won't let Kumamoto Daiichi down!
[18:02] Kuroda
    Did Kyoto Fushimi get ahead
    while we were distracted?
[18:08] Kuroda
    No, they didn't.
[18:10] Midousuji
    What's important during road
    races is to predict the future
[18:16] Midousuji
    during any confusion and calmly
    deceive the eyes of others.
[18:21] Midousuji
    Kuroda-kun is keeping an eye on me.
[18:25] Midousuji
    First, I have to make him lower his guard.
[18:28] Midousuji
    We're skipping ahead to Phase 108.
[18:30] Midousuji
    Pretend you're exhausted.
[18:31] Mizuta
    Got it.
[18:32] Kiriya
    Yes, sir.
[18:33] Midousuji
    Tell the other Zakus, Mizuta-kun.
[18:37] Midousuji
    Stay toward the right side of the course,
[18:39] Midousuji
    and let Kumamoto Daiichi come
    between us and Hakone Academy.
[18:45] Mizuta
    What? Are you sure we
    should let them join us?
[18:48] Mizuta
    Their captain just said Kumamoto Daiichi's
    team is stronger than anyone else's!
[18:53] Midousuji
    What? Team strength?
[18:58] Midousuji
    That's just what they say about themselves.
[19:07] Ise
    We finally caught up to the front.
[19:13] Manami
    I was wrong.
[19:15] Manami
    I thought it was you, Sakamichi-kun.
[19:19] Manami
    And since no one's left yet,
     I thought we could go together.
[19:31] Kuroda
    He's replenishing his fluids.
[19:32] Kuroda
    It doesn't look like they'll
    attack anytime soon.
[19:35] Kuroda
    Hey, Manami! How long are you
    going to keep looking behind you?
[19:42] Midousuji
    Now, Zakus!
[19:45] Midousuji
    Without making a single sound, hold your
     breath and silently go all out!
[20:01] Izumida
    Kyoto Fushimi?
[20:02] Izumida
    Yuki!
[20:12] Aoyagi
    Can you do it, Junta?
[20:14] Teshima
    Probably. It's pretty likely.
[20:18] Aoyagi
    Really?
[20:19] Teshima
    Everyone's motivated.
[20:22] Teshima
    In the next few minutes,
     we should see the lead pack.
[20:27] Fan
    Look, it's Sohoku!
[20:28] Fan
    Last year's champions
    are racing up the slope!
[20:31] Fan
    They fell apart once, but they're
     back together again!
[20:34] Fan
    They'll catch up to the front!
[20:36] Teshima
    Onoda!
[20:38] Sakamichi
    Yes, sir!
[20:39] Teshima
    Were you able to conserve your energy?
[20:41] Sakamichi
    Yes, sir!
[20:43] Teshima
    I have orders for you!
[20:45] Teshima
    Once we join the lead pack, jump ahead!
[20:47] Teshima
    Push Hakone Academy's Manami aside and
    cross the second day's mountain line first!
[20:52] Sakamichi
    Yes, sir!
[20:54] Kaburagi
    I see them!
[20:59] Teshima
    Damn.
[21:01] Teshima
    We caught up.
[21:02] Teshima
    Hakone Academy, Kyoto Fushimi, and Naruko.
[21:06] Teshima
    We're here.
[21:08] Teshima
    Sorry to keep you waiting!
[21:14] Teshima
    What is this? Kumamoto Daiichi?
[21:18] Sakamichi
    Teshima-san, the Kumamoto Daiichi
    team that passed us is scattered.
[21:23] Teshima
    Yeah. Don't drop your pace.
[21:26] Teshima
    Let's keep going.
[21:27] Sakamichi
    Yes, sir.
[21:29] Teshima
    What's going on? What in the world happened?
[23:07] Teshima
    I'm hungry.
[23:09] Teshima
    Let's get something on the way home.
[23:11] Koga
    I want pizza.
[23:12] Teshima
    There it is! Your suggestion for pizza!
[23:14] Teshima
    Let's get something else
    once in a while, like curry.
[23:17] Koga
    We're getting pizza today.
[23:18] Koga
    I decided we would this morning.
[23:20] Teshima
    You said the same thing when
    we got pizza last time.
[23:22] Koga
    Pizza!
[23:23] Teshima
    No, we're getting curry today!
[23:25] Teshima
    Aoyagi, say something.
[23:28] Aoyagi

[00:06] Teshima
    Why is the Kumamoto Daiichi
    team that passed us scattered?
[00:13] Teshima
    Did something happen to the lead pack?
[00:16] Kaburagi
    Maybe Kumamoto Daiichi got
    exhausted and fell behind.
[00:18] Kaburagi
    Either way, it's not a problem.
[00:20] Kaburagi
    As long as Hakone Academy and Kyoto Fushimi
    are up ahead, Onoda-san can still fight.

[02:11] Doubashi
    Team Sohoku was supposed to have
    fallen behind on the first climb.
[02:17] Doubashi
    I've never seen anyone come back
    after taking a beating like that.
[02:20] Doubashi
    And...
[02:22] Doubashi
    What are you doing back there, orange?
[02:25] Kaburagi
    I've got God on my side, pig!
[02:31] Kaburagi
    We caught up to Hakone Academy
     and Kyoto Fushimi!
[02:34] Kaburagi
    Now we're back to square one!
[02:35] Kaburagi
    Yeah!
[02:39] Manami
    Square one...
[02:43] Sakamichi
    I caught up, Manami-kun!
[02:46] Manami
    Hey. You came, Sakamichi-kun.
[02:48] Sakamichi
    I got permission to go ahead of the group.
[02:52] Sakamichi
    They told me to compete
    for the mountain result.
[02:54] Sakamichi
    We can race.
[02:56] Sakamichi
    Let's go, Manami-kun,
[02:58] Sakamichi
    to the very top of that mountain!
[03:04] Yamaguchi
    He climbed back up here to race?
[03:07] Yamaguchi
    And he can afford to enjoy that
    competition at the Inter-High?
[03:11] Yamaguchi
    It's too bad, though.
[03:13] Yamaguchi
    Under these circumstances...
[03:16] Manami
    Sorry, Sakamichi-kun.
[03:17] Sakamichi
    Huh?
[03:19] Manami
    We probably can't fight.
[03:22] Sakamichi
    What? But it's okay.
[03:25] Sakamichi
    I even got permission.
[03:27] Sakamichi
    They let me conserve my energy for this.
[03:29] Manami
    That first-year just said
    we're back to square one,
[03:33] Manami
    meaning you caught up to the lead pack
[03:34] Manami
    with all your members, and we're
    back to our starting condition.
[03:39] Manami
    But right now...
[03:41] Manami
    Unfortunately, we're not back
    to square one, Sakamichi-kun.
[03:50] Teshima
    Have you noticed, Imaizumi?
[03:52] Imaizumi
    Yes, sir.
[03:52] Aoyagi
    Junta!
[03:53] Teshima
    Yeah, I know.
[03:55] Kaburagi
    What's wrong?
[03:56] Kaburagi
    We caught up to the lead pack.
[03:58] Kaburagi
    Don't we just need to let Onoda-san go now?
[04:01] Teshima
    You idiot. Look closely, Kaburagi.
[04:04] Teshima
    Count the number of guys from each team.
[04:07] Kaburagi
    Huh?
[04:08] Teshima
    There isn't enough of them.
[04:09] Teshima
    This isn't the lead pack!
[04:12] Kaburagi
    What?
[04:13] Kaburagi
    Which means... they're farther ahead?
[04:15] Kaburagi
    There are guys even farther ahead than this?
[04:18] Teshima
    Hakone Academy is missing two.
[04:19] Teshima
    Kyoto Fushimi is missing three.
[04:21] Teshima
    At the very least, there are
    five riders in the lead!
[04:25] Teshima
    And among them are Shinkai,
    Ashikiba, and Midousuji.
[04:29] Teshima
    Some of their teams' strongest members.
[04:31] Teshima
    Both teams have already made their move.
[04:36] Manami
    The race spans hours,
[04:39] Manami
    but a few minutes or even seconds
    of missed timing can prevent
[04:43] Manami
    things from going as planned.
[04:45] Manami
    You don't get to do what you
    should've been able to do.
[04:47] Manami
    That's road racing, isn't it?
[04:50] Sakamichi
    Huh? What are you talking about, Manami...
[04:52] Manami
    It's okay.
[04:53] Manami
    I'm sure the opposite will happen eventually.
[04:57] Teshima
    Are you ready to go now, Imaizumi?
[05:00] Imaizumi
    Yes, sir!
[05:01] Teshima
    Onoda!
[05:02] Sakamichi
    Y-Yes?
[05:03] Teshima
    I'm changing your orders!
[05:05] Sakamichi
    Huh?
[05:06] Teshima
    The situation is different
    from what we expected.
[05:08] Teshima
    The lead pack has already made its
    move far sooner than we anticipated.
[05:13] Teshima
    We've completely fallen behind!
[05:21] Sakamichi
    Imaizumi-kun's moving up?
[05:24] Teshima
    You and Imaizumi race up Mount Haruna
[05:27] Teshima
    and do whatever it takes to
     catch up to the lead pack!
[05:29] Sakamichi
    The lead pack? With Imaizumi-kun?
[05:32] Sakamichi
    Huh?
[05:33] Sakamichi
    Manami-kun...
[05:35] Teshima
    Go, Onoda!
[05:41] Teshima
    O... noda...
[05:48] Sakamichi
    S-Sorry.
[05:51] Sakamichi
    No, I know. Sorry.
[05:53] Sakamichi
    I know...
[05:55] (Flashback) Manami
    That's road racing, isn't it?
[06:00] Teshima
    Onoda...
[06:00] Imaizumi
    Onoda...
[06:02] Manami
    Sakamichi-kun...
[06:07] Teshima
    Can you do it, Onoda?
[06:08] Sakamichi
    Yes, sir!
[06:10] Sakamichi
    Sorry, Manami-kun.
[06:12] Sakamichi
    I... I...
[06:17] Sakamichi
    I'm going!
[06:23] Manami
    Yeah, I know.
[06:27] Manami
    You'll give up everything
    you've built up for your goal.
[06:32] Manami
    And you have to make that
    decision in an instant.
[06:35] Manami
    But every difficult decision you make
[06:41] Manami
    makes a person stronger.
[06:45] Manami
    Good grief. If you keep getting stronger,
[06:49] Manami
    I'll just be more excited for our next race.
[06:53] Doubashi
    Get up there and pull, Manami.
[06:55] Doubashi
    It's your job to take us
    to the top of the mountain.
[06:58] Manami
    I know, Bashi-kun.
[07:02] Sakamichi
    Wait, Imaizumi-kun.
[07:04] Imaizumi
    You came, Onoda.
[07:06] Imaizumi
    I'm sure Teshima-san explained
    the situation to you.
[07:08] Sakamichi
    Yeah.
[07:09] Imaizumi
    Right now, the only thing we can do
[07:11] Imaizumi
    is to keep on pedaling and
    catch up to the lead pack.
[07:14] Sakamichi
    Yeah.
[07:15] Imaizumi
    Onoda!
[07:16] Sakamichi
    What?
[07:17] Imaizumi
    I'm sorry you didn't get to race.
[07:23] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    I want to race against Manami Sangaku-kun.
[07:26] Imaizumi
    I heard you make your
    small request in person.
[07:32] Imaizumi
    You seemed so happy conserving your
    energy while we caught up to the front.
[07:40] Sakamichi
    It's fine. I always wanted
    to ride for the team.
[07:43] Sakamichi
    I can race next time.
[07:47] Sakamichi
    But if I can be honest, I am disappointed.
[07:55] Imaizumi
    It's all right. There's always next time.
[08:00] Imaizumi
    The race isn't over yet.
[08:03] Imaizumi
    You've saved me countless times.
[08:06] Sakamichi
    What? Saved you?
[08:08] Sakamichi
    But I haven't done anything.
[08:09] Imaizumi
    Until now and during this race,
    you've saved me countless times.
[08:13] Imaizumi
    Just now, too.
[08:14] Sakamichi
    Huh? Just now?
[08:17] Imaizumi
    So let me know the next time
    you want to do something.
[08:21] Imaizumi
    I'll do everything I can to
    create that opportunity for you.
[08:26] Sakamichi
    Sure, thanks.
[08:28] Imaizumi
    Let's focus on the present for now.
[08:30] Imaizumi
    We'll go as fast as we can, Onoda!
[08:32] Sakamichi
    Got it, Imaizumi-kun!
[08:34] Kaburagi
    Hold on!
[08:35] Kaburagi
    Wait a minute, Teshima-san.
[08:37] Kaburagi
    This doesn't seem right.
[08:39] Kaburagi
    Does everyone want the
    mountain result that badly?
[08:41] Kaburagi
    Isn't sending #11 and #111 way
    too much for the mountain result?
[08:46] Teshima
    Kaburagi, you still haven't noticed?
[08:50] Teshima
    The second day's course layout
    is a little bit special.
[08:54] Kaburagi
    Huh?
[08:56] Teshima
    If you look closely at the
    course map, you can imagine it.
[08:59] Teshima
    I wasn't expecting them to make
    their move this soon, though.
[09:03] Teshima
    Kyoto Fushimi moved so early
    because they're going for it.
[09:07] Teshima
    And Hakone Academy sent their ace because
    they don't want it taken from them.
[09:12] Teshima
    Today, on the second day, up ahead...
SIGN    Day 2
    Mountain Line
[09:15] Teshima
    the mountain line and
     finish line are close together.
[09:19] Teshima
    The guys ahead of us aren't
    going for the mountain result.
[09:23] Teshima
    They're going for what's
    past that: the finish line!
[09:29] Aya
    If the mountain and finish
    line are close together,
[09:32] Aya
    that means we can cheer for them at
    both if we get there early, right?
[09:35] Aya
    That's good news for us, Miki.
[09:40] Aya
    Huh? Did I say something wrong?
[09:43] Miki
    No. In road racing,
[09:46] Miki
    when the mountain and finish line are
    close together, it changes your strategy.
[09:51] Aya
    Miki has that serious look in her eyes again!
[09:53] Aya
    Uh, but we're in the mountains.
[09:56] Aya
    Can't our four-eyes work really hard
[09:58] Aya
    and beat those Kyoto whatever
    guys who went on ahead?
[10:02] Miki
    It's not like that.
[10:03] Aya
    Huh?
[10:04] Miki
    If every team near the
    front sends their climbers,
[10:07] Miki
    it'll become a race for the
    mountain line, like usual.
[10:10] Miki
    But if just one team sends their ace,
    then the other teams will have to follow suit.
[10:16] Miki
    Normally, they'd be too exhausted from the
    mountain race to go for the finish line.
[10:20] Miki
    But with today's course layout,
[10:24] Miki
    they could do it.
[10:25] Midousuji
    More, more!
[10:28] Midousuji
    Pull harder, Kiriya-kun!
[10:33] Midousuji
    Keep going until we pull
    ahead of the pests behind us!
[10:42] Shinkai
    Kyoto Fushimi accelerated again.
[10:45] Ashikiba
    They're trying to maintain the gap they
    established when they first jumped ahead.
[10:51] Ashikiba
    No, they're trying to widen it.
[10:53] Ashikiba
    Yuto, don't let them pull ahead.
[10:56] Shinkai
    I know.
[10:59] Ashikiba
    Kyoto Fushimi probably plans
    to push their climber, Kiriya,
[11:03] Ashikiba
    who's pulling right now, to the
     limit before discarding him.
[11:07] Shinkai
    Their climber...
[11:09] Shinkai
    They're sacrificing him?
[11:11] Shinkai
    That's insane.
[11:14] Kiriya
    Mizu... Mizuta-san,
     my legs are at their limit.
[11:18] Kiriya
    I can't breathe, either.
[11:19] Kiriya
    Please switch with me!
[11:20] Mizuta
    What?
[11:23] Mizuta
    We've got a plan, so you know...
[11:27] Kirita
    Please switch with me!
[11:29] Kiriya
    At this rate, I'll have to
     drop out of the Inter-High!
[11:32] Mizuta
    Just power through it.
[11:34] Midousuji
    Kiriya-kun, you can complain all you
    want once you get off your bike.
[11:42] Midousuji
    You have two choices.
[11:45] Midousuji
    Either keep pulling until
    you can't and collapse,
[11:49] Midousuji
    or give up, get off your bike,
    and wait for the recovery car.
[11:55] Midousuji
    Which will it be?
[11:56] Mizuta
    There's only one choice!
[11:58] Kiriya
    What? Which?
[12:00] Kiriya
    In any case, I want to
    stay in the Inter-High!
[12:07] Midousuji
    We pulled ahead.
[12:09] Midousuji
    And we jumped ahead at the ideal moment.
[12:13] Midousuji
    In that moment,
[12:14] Midousuji
    by letting the heedless Kumamoto Daiichi
     get between us and the pests,
[12:21] Midousuji
    we made them drop their guard.
[12:24] (Flashback) Kuroda
    Hey, Manami!
[12:27] (Flashback) Ise
    Kumamoto Daiichi's just getting started.
[12:30] (Flashback) Ise
    Fujiwara, I'm counting on
    you to take the mountains.
[12:33] (Flashback) Fujiwara
    Yes, sir.
[12:34] Midousuji
    And then...
[12:38] (Flashback) Izumida
    Kyoto Fushimi?
[12:39] (Flashback) Izumida
    Yuki!
[12:41] (Flashback) Ise
    What?
[12:42] (Flashback) Fujiwara
    Ise-san, Kyoto Fushimi's getting ahead!
[12:44] (Flashback) Fujiwara
    When did they go?
[12:45] (Flashback) Ise
    But we're still in the mountains.
[12:47] (Flashback) Ise
    Why did they send their ace?
[12:50] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    Yuto, let's go!
[12:51] (Flashback) Shinkai
    Yes, Ashikiba-san!
[12:53] (Flashback) Fujiwara
    Ise-san, Hakone Academy's next.
[12:55] (Flashback) Ise
    What?
[12:56] (Flashback) Kuroda
    Doubashi, we're going after them!
[12:58] (Flashback) Doubashi
    Yeah!
[12:59] (Flashback) Kumadai
    What's going on?
[13:00] (Flashback) Kumadai
    Kyoto Fushimi is...
[13:01] (Flashback) Kurdao
    You're in the way, Kumamoto Daiichi!
[13:02] (Flashback) Kumadai
    Whoa! Why's Hakone Academy
    suddenly accelerating?
[13:06] (Flashback) Kumadai
    It's dangerous. The climbers are about to—
[13:08] (Flashback) Kuroda
    Look around you! Move, idiots!
[13:11] Kuroda
    Did he deliberately let Kumamoto Daiichi
    in so he could use them as a shield?
[13:18] (Flashback) Kuroda
    Take Manami and Touichirou with you!
[13:21] (Flashback) Kuroda
    Damn it! We won't make it in time!
[13:23] (Flashback) Kuroda
    He's too good at road racing!
[13:26] (Flashback) Fujiwara
    What should we do, Ise-san?
[13:28] (Flashback) Ise
    We'll go after them. Accelerate!
[13:30] (Flashback) Kumadai
    What? But my legs...
[13:33] (Flashback) Ise
    Why are they sending their aces now?
[13:36] (Flashback) Ise
    Aren't we going to race
    for the mountain line?
[13:42] Ise
    The only ones left are you and me, Fujiwara.
[13:47] Ise
    We've fallen behind the lead pack,
     and our team is scattered.
[13:50] Ise
    I'm sorry...
[13:51] Fujiwara
    That's enough, Ise-san.
[13:54] Fujiwara
    In any case, let's go for
    the finish line together.
[13:56] Ise
    Fujiwara...
[13:58] Fujiwara
    Anyway, strength matters in those situations,
[14:01] Fujiwara
    but I guess animal instincts
    are important, too.
[14:05] Ise
    You mean him?
[14:06] Fujiwara
    He was the only one who seemed
    to be struggling alone,
[14:10] Fujiwara
    but he saw through Kyoto Fushimi's
    plan and stuck right behind them.
[14:14] Fujiwara
    I felt some kind of tenacity
    coming off of him.
[14:18] Fujiwara
    The man who raced for yesterday's
    finish line and placed second.
[14:22] Fujiwara
    Sohoku's red bean, Naruko Shoukichi!
[14:27] Fan
    The lead pack's here!
[14:28] Fan
    Three from Kyoto Fushimi!
[14:30] Fan
    Two from Hakone Academy
    slightly behind them!
[14:32] Fan
    No, look closer!
[14:34] Fan
    He's so small, I didn't notice!
[14:36] Fan
    There's one guy following them!
[14:37] Fan
    It's Sohoku's #3, the climbing sprinter,
     Naruko the Red!
[14:41] Naruko
    Hey, don't call me small!
[14:43] Naruko
    Say you didn't notice me
    because I'm so fast instead!
[14:46] Fan
    He snapped back at me while racing...
[14:48] Fan
    He's amazing.
[14:53] Midousuji
    Naruko...
[14:55] Midousuji
    He's the only one who understood
    what I was trying to do.
[15:01] Midousuji
    His desire for victory, his obsession,
[15:04] Midousuji
    and his wild instincts...
[15:06] Midousuji
    First yesterday, and now this.
[15:09] Midousuji
    You really aren't gross!
[15:14] Naruko
    I won't let them get away, that's all.
[15:17] Naruko
    Not you, not victory!
[15:19] Kiriya
    I-I'm at my limit.
[15:22] Kiriya
    My vision's turning white.
[15:23] Kiriya
    Captain, Midousuji-kun!
[15:26] Kiriya
    I wanted to see the third day's
    finish line with my own... eyes...
[15:31] Midousuji
    There's no point in just
    seeing the finish line.
[15:36] Midousuji
    Come on. We're lighter now.
[15:38] Midousuji
    Accelerate, Mizuta-kun. Let's go even faster.
[15:42] Mizuta
    G-Got it.
[15:43] Midousuji
    Climb, climb, climb, climb!
[15:47] Midousuji
    Keep climbing until we completely
    pull ahead of Hakone Academy!
[15:52] Mizuta
    O-Okay!
[15:54] Mizuta
    Will he discard me when
    he's done with me, too?
[15:57] Mizuta
    No. No, no, no.
[15:58] Mizuta
    There's no way.
[16:00] Mizuta
    I'm the captain.
[16:03] Naruko
    Hey, purple seaweed.
[16:05] Naruko
    Why don't you give your
    assist a little praise?
[16:08] Naruko
    #115 worked crazy hard for you.
[16:11] Midousuji
    What? Praise?
[16:13] Midousuji
    What's that?
[16:15] Midousuji
    "Thanks. Good job. I appreciate it."
[16:19] Midousuji
    What meaning do those words have?
[16:24] Midousuji
    After being self-satisfied
    over what little work you did,
[16:27] Midousuji
    why would you want praise
    from others on top of that?
[16:31] Midousuji
    There's a side to everyone
    that's invisible to others.
[16:35] Midousuji
    If you're not polishing what's inside,
     then what are you doing?
[16:39] Midousuji
    This is why he gets exhausted so quickly.
[16:44] Midousuji
    All you need in road racing
    is your own strength!
[16:51] Midousuji
    And, Naruko, you must be
    nearing your limit, too.
[16:57] Midousuji
    You can fall back now.
[17:00] Midousuji
    Just keeping up with us
    must put you at your limit.
[17:03] Midousuji
    Both your legs and your mental strength.
[17:05] Mizuta
    Huh? Is that right, #3?
[17:08] Mizuta
    I see.
[17:09] Midousuji
    You did well to catch up
    to the front by yourself.
[17:13] Midousuji
    You even withstood my Zakus'
    unimpressive attack.
[17:17] Midousuji
    But there's always a price to pay.
[17:23] Midousuji
    Though I'm sure you're experiencing
    that right now with your own body!
[17:27] Naruko
    I don't know what you're talking about.
[17:29] Naruko
    Since I'm such a genius, I might
    just make it to the finish line.
[17:35] Midousuji
    I'm letting you trail behind us like a
     goldfish turd because we're not enemies.
[17:42] Midousuji
    It's because I know you'll
    fall on this climb.
[17:51] Midousuji
    But don't worry.
[17:53] Midousuji
    I'll tell you that you did a good job
    and heap praise on you at the end!
[18:01] Midousuji
    Phase 37!
[18:03] Midousuji
    Accelerate, Zaku!
[18:05] Midousuji
    Shake off Sohoku's Naruko!
[18:07] Mizuta
    Yeah!
[18:08] Naruko
    He's right. I'm almost at my limit.
[18:11] Naruko
    But I made it this far!
[18:13] Naruko
    I left the hotshot and Onoda behind.
[18:15] Naruko
    I abandoned my team and came alone!
[18:19] Naruko
    So I can't just let them leave me behind!
[18:23] Naruko
    I'll show them!
[18:24] Naruko
    This is the flashy man from Naniwa's
    ultimate, original sprint climb!
[18:30] Mizuta
    He still had that much strength left?
[18:35] Mizuta
    What?
[18:36] Mizuta
    Hey! You're in the way! Move!
[18:37] Naruko
    I'm doing it on purpose!
[18:42] Midousuji
    This is nonsense, Naruko.
[18:44] Midousuji
    Even if you slow us down, you're just
    making Hakone Academy happy behind us.
[18:50] Midousuji
    Mizuta-kun, slip past him and get ahead!
[18:53] Mizuta
    G-Got it!
[18:55] Naruko
    I told you, I'm blocking you!
[18:57] Midousuji
    What do you think you're doing?
[18:59] Midousuji
    Is this some kind of friendship thing?
[19:01] Midousuji
    Are you trying to help them?
[19:03] Midousuji
    Yesterday, you lost to Hakone Academy's
    two-meter-tall man because of your reach!
[19:08] Naruko
    Absolutely not.
[19:11] Naruko
    But if there's anything I can do with
    what little strength I have left,
[19:15] Naruko
    it's slow down the lead pack!
[19:17] Midousuji
    But why on earth are you
    doing something so stupid?
[19:22] Naruko
    Maybe it's my imagination, but I
    get the feeling someone's trying.
[19:27] Naruko
    Someone wearing this jersey
    is climbing up toward us!
[19:30] Midousuji
    Climbing?
[19:32] Midousuji
    That yellow jersey?
[19:35] Midousuji
    It really is your imagination.
[19:37] Midousuji
    You overestimate your teammates.
[19:40] Midousuji
    Didn't you choose to leave them behind?
[19:44] Midousuji
    They're probably crying right now.
[19:47] Midousuji
    They must resent you.
[19:49] Midousuji
    They must've begged you not to go.
[19:51] Midousuji
    What you're doing right now is repenting,
    so you can justify your own actions!
[19:58] Mizuta
    Ouch...
[19:59] Midousuji
    Now pass him, Mizuta-kun.
[20:02] Midousuji
    He's so far past his limit,
    he's started imagining things.
[20:07] Mizuta
    G-Got it.
[20:09] Naruko
    Repenting? Imagining things?
[20:11] Naruko
    Limit?
[20:12] Naruko
    I'll pour hot sauce over those
     things and eat them!
[20:22] Mizuta
    But he's so unsteady on his bike!
[20:25] Naruko
    I have to slow you down.
[20:27] Naruko
    Someone's coming.
[20:28] Naruko
    I have to slow you down until they get here.
[20:31] Mizuta
    Damn it! I'll pull ahead of you!
[20:36] Naruko
    Come...
[20:37] Naruko
    Come on!
[20:40] Mizuta
    How much strength does he have left?
[20:43] Midousuji
    Come? Who are you talking to?
[20:46] Midousuji
    Who is it that you believe in so much
    that you think he's coming?
[20:52] Midousuji
    There must be someone
    specific you're imagining.
[20:56] Midousuji
    That's why you're so determined.
[20:59] Midousuji
    Who is it?
[21:01] Naruko
    Hot...
[21:03] Naruko
    Hot?
[21:04] Mizuta
    Hey, we're asking you a question here!
[21:07] Naruko
    You idiots! I believe in him?
[21:11] Naruko
    I'm sure he'll come. Seriously.
[21:14] Naruko
    I hate people like him more than anything.
[21:17] Naruko
    People who think they're hot stuff!
[21:18] Mizuta
    What? He really has gone crazy
    from overexerting himself.
[21:21] Midousuji
    Stop wasting your time, Naruko!
[21:26] Naruko
    Come...
[21:27] Naruko
    Come on!
[23:04] Kuroda
    You awake, Manami?
[23:05] Manami
    Kuroda-san, Ashikiba-san... What's going on?
[23:08] Kuroda
    Don't give me that, oddball.
[23:12] Kuroda
    Quit skipping practice to sleep.
[23:13] Manami
    Oh, heh heh...

    The wind does feel nice, though.
[23:18] Manami
    Doesn't it?
[23:19] Manami
    Ashikiba-san, why don't you join me?
[23:21] Ashikiba
    Sure.
[23:22] Kuroda
    Huh?
[23:22] Manami
    Arakita-san used this spot all the time.
[23:26] Manami

[01:37] Sakamichi
    We still can't see the lead pack.
[01:39] Imaizumi
    Yeah.
[01:40] Sakamichi
    Or Naruko-kun.
[01:41] Imaizumi
    Yeah.
[01:42] Imaizumi
    Where and what is he doing?
[01:45] Imaizumi
    We just passed the Kumamoto Daiichi
    guys that just barely made it out.
[01:49] Imaizumi
    We should've caught up by now.
[01:51] Sakamichi
    But I don't see them.
[01:53] Imaizumi
    Did you make it to the front?
[01:55] Imaizumi
    Does that mean you're fighting alone?
[02:00] Imaizumi
    Onoda, I'll help pull.
[02:03] Imaizumi
    Let's go faster.
[02:04] Sakamichi
    Y-You can't! Fall back!
[02:07] Sakamichi
    You're the ace, Imaizumi-kun!
[02:09] Sakamichi
    You've been letting me conserve
    my strength until now!
[02:11] Sakamichi
    It's okay! I'll pull!
[02:16] Imaizumi
    I may be our ace, but I'm only half a man.
[02:19] Sakamichi
    Huh?
[02:21] Imaizumi
    Until we started today, I thought
    I was a full-fledged ace.
[02:25] Imaizumi
    But during today's race, I came
    to the painful realization
[02:29] Imaizumi
    that I'm still only half a man.
[02:31] Imaizumi
    I couldn't help my teammates.
[02:32] Imaizumi
    I said awful things to my senior.
[02:35] Imaizumi
    My spirit broke immediately.
[02:37] (Flashback) Imaizumi
    Recover faster, Teshima-san!
[02:40] (Flashback) Imaizumi
    Aren't you a climber?
[02:45] (Flashback) Imaizumi
    Why are you smiling?
[02:49] Imaizumi
    What was that sound?
[02:52] Imaizumi
    But...
[02:53] Imaizumi
    While I'm still a long way away from
    being a super ace like Kinjou-san,
[02:59] Imaizumi
    I'm trying. Let me pull for now.
[03:01] Imaizumi
    I'm not mature enough to sit
    back without doing anything.
[03:07] Sakamichi
    Imaizumi-kun...
[03:10] Imaizumi
    Onoda, you truly have saved me.
[03:15] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    Kaburagi-kun and Aoyagi-san
    have just rejoined the team!
[03:20] Imaizumi
    In this precarious situation,
    we got five of our members together.
[03:24] Imaizumi
    Just like Onoda said.
[03:28] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    Um, Imaizumi-kun.
[03:30] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    Aoyagi-san and Kaburagi-kun rejoined the team.
[03:33] (Flashback) Imaizumi
    Y-Yeah, you're right. That's great.
[03:36] (Flashback) Imaizumi
    They're amazing.
[03:39] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    Now that there's five of us, I think
    we can catch up to Kumamoto Daiichi.
[03:43] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    And maybe even reach the
    lead pack where Naruko-kun is.
[03:46] (Flashback) Imaizumi
    Y-Yeah, maybe.
[03:48] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    It's all thanks to you.
[03:52] Imaizumi
    Thanks to me?
[03:54] Imaizumi
    He's not making sense again.
[03:57] Imaizumi
    I made an irremediable mistake.
[04:01] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    I've actually been thinking.
[04:04] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    If you trace events back far enough,
[04:06] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    sometimes you realize it actually
    started with someone small, you know?
[04:10] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    It's about that.
[04:11] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    The two of them rejoined the team when
    Teshima-san was coming up from behind
[04:17] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    and Hakone Academy was leaving,
    during the first mountain.
[04:21] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    I think it's because
[04:23] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    you decided that we should wait.
[04:28] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    Wait, what? A-Am I wrong?
[04:32] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    Sorry.
[04:34] Imaizumi
    Was that the right decision?
[04:39] Imaizumi
    Is that the reason Aoyagi-san
    and Kaburagi caught up?
[04:43] Imaizumi
    The reason there are five of us here now?
[04:48] Imaizumi
    Onoda, how many times
[04:55] Imaizumi
    are you going to save me?
[04:58] Imaizumi
    Onoda! You saved me!
[05:01] Sakamichi
    Huh?
[05:02] Imaizumi
    You can't know if you've made the right
    decision until you've seen the results.
[05:06] Imaizumi
    That's what you were trying to say.
[05:08] Imaizumi
    If that's the case, then I'll
     work as hard as I can.
[05:11] Imaizumi
    It's my only option!
[05:13] Imaizumi
    We'll accelerate as quickly
    as we can while rotating.
[05:15] Imaizumi
    Together, we'll catch up to
    the lead pack! To Naruko!

    Since Izumida took the sprint,

[11:04] Imaizumi
    I can't make it this far
    on my strength alone.
[11:07] Imaizumi
    So I'll say it.
[11:10] Imaizumi
    In order to inspire myself.
[11:13] Imaizumi
    In order to accept that weighty
    responsibility on these shoulders.
[11:17] Imaizumi
    Ashikiba-san...
[11:19] Imaizumi
    Midousuji...
[11:21] Imaizumi
    Allow me to reiterate. I am...
[11:26] Imaizumi
    Sohoku's ace.
[11:37] Midousuji
    What's with this guy?
[11:38] Midousuji
    I know he cracked at the first peak.
[11:44] Midousuji
    Crack, crack, crack, crack,

    crack, crack, crack, crack.
[11:47] Midousuji
    So why? How did he do it?
[11:50] Midousuji
    Crack!
[11:52] Sakamichi
    Imaizumi-kun, how's Naruko-kun?
[11:54] Imaizumi
    He's fine. There was still life in his eyes.
[11:57] Imaizumi
    Teshima-san and the others will pick him up.
[12:01] Imaizumi
    He's pushed himself to his limit.
[12:04] Imaizumi
    Thanks to you, we caught up, Naruko.
[12:07] Imaizumi
    You were supremely flashy!
[12:11] Sakamichi
    Yeah!
[12:12] Imaizumi
    We'd better do our job, too.
[12:15] Imaizumi
    We're carrying his and the team's hopes.
[12:18] Imaizumi
    Let's go, Onoda!
[12:19] Imaizumi
    We'll take our jerseys

[12:22] Sakamichi
    Yeah!

    You're not thinking of disposing of me

    Mizuta-kun, you're still saying
    that this late in the game?

    We have to catch up to them in the mountains.

    Otherwise, the finish line...

    We have to catch up in the mountains.

    It's a 1,500-meter climb to the peak.

    Can you do it, Onoda?
[15:18] Sakamichi
    Yeah.
[15:20] Yuto
    The Mountain King!
[15:21] Ashikiba
    Onoda Sakamichi!
[15:23] Sakamichi
    Because Naruko-kun left by himself
    and worked so hard on his own,
[15:29] Sakamichi
    we made it this far!
[15:31] Sakamichi
    I'll pedal as hard as I can!

    Is it you, Sakamichi?
[15:58] Naruko
    Did you see that, Midousuji?

    That was Naruko's Ultimate

[16:05] Naruko
    I just came up with the name.
[16:09] Yuto

[16:11] Midousuji
    He's trying to catch up?

    With 1,400 meters remaining to the peak?
[16:20] Midousuji
    Are you going to destroy my lead, Sakamichi?
[16:28] Midousuji
    He's getting closer.

    pulling me will overheat soon.

[17:30] Yuto
    He's definitely riding faster than he was
    during our first race in the mountains.

    Was he holding back? Is this the
    true strength of the Mountain King?
[17:41] Yuto
    Do guys like him exist?

[17:51] Yuto
    Y-Yes, sir. Sorry, Ashikiba-san.

    I entered the Inter-High so I could
    race against the Mountain King.
[18:01] Yuto
    I thought I could beat him. I thought I did.
[18:04] Yuto
    I have to beat him,
[18:08] Yuto
    because I'm Shinkai Yuto.

    It's hard, but I'll catch up to the front
[18:57] Sakamichi
    with our ace Imaizumi-kun in tow.

    As a climber, that's my job.

    If you're watching somewhere—
[19:16] Sakamichi
    No, if you read in the news later

[07:13] Ashikiba
    Isn't that right, Yuto?
[07:16] Announce
    The other riders are raising their pace
[07:17] Announce
    and crossing the mountain line
    one after another.
[07:20] Announce
    Just past the gate is the finish line!
[07:23] Mizuta
    Damn that lanky Hakone Academy guy!
[07:27] Mizuta
    He took my mountain line!
[07:29] Mizuta
    Midousuji-kun, I rode as
    hard as I could, but he—
[07:34] Mizuta
    Huh? Hey, wait...
[07:40] Midousuji
    Congratulations, King of the Mountain.
[07:43] Midousuji
    We didn't stand a chance
    against your all-out attack.
[07:49] Midousuji
    It was amazing.
[07:51] Midousuji
    We wanted the title so badly,
    we even sent our captain.
[07:57] Midousuji
    I can't believe you took it from us.
[08:01] Midousuji
    Should you have done that as the ace?
[08:04] Midousuji
    Should you have used up your legs?
[08:07] Midousuji
    The finish line is at the bottom of the hill.
[08:12] Imaizumi
    He sent Mizuta to use up
    one of Hakone Academy's cards.
[08:19] Imaizumi
    Hakone Academy had the advantage,
[08:21] Imaizumi
    but now they're disadvantaged.
[08:24] Sakamichi
    Imaizumi-kun...
[08:26] Sakamichi
    Why didn't Ashikiba-san stay ahead?
[08:30] Sakamichi
    He let us catch up so easily.
[08:31] Imaizumi
    We don't have far to go,
[08:33] Imaizumi
    but he determined we'd catch him with
    our numbers even if he stayed ahead.
[08:36] Imaizumi
    If it's unlikely he'll stay ahead, it's smarter
    to rejoin the group, rest his legs,
[08:43] Imaizumi
    and stay behind his assistant.
[08:45] Midousuji
    You must've thought you could
    take it easily, Hakone Academy.
[08:50] Midousuji
    You thought you'd pretend you
    didn't want the mountain line,
[08:54] Midousuji
    approach the line with the pack,
[08:57] Midousuji
    and send someone at the last second
    to take the number tag easily.
SIGN    Mountain Line
[09:04] Midousuji
    Lucky you.
[09:06] Midousuji
    Things turned out differently.
[09:08] Midousuji
    It seems like you paid a high price.
[09:11] Midousuji
    But your pride, is it?
[09:15] Midousuji
    Something so easily blown away,
[09:18] Midousuji
    but you protected it.
[09:20] Yuto
    Hey, you—
[09:23] Ashikiba
    Yeah, we're glad.
[09:26] Ashikiba
    We have no regrets.
[09:28] Sakamichi
    The atmosphere's changing.
[09:30] Midousuji
    I like those eyes.
[09:32] Midousuji
    They're the eyes of one who won't collapse.
[09:35] Midousuji
    Someone who won't lose.
[09:37] Midousuji
    At least try to keep your spirits up.
[09:39] Midousuji
    The real battle for the
    finish line starts now!
[09:46] Sakamichi
    The race for the finish.
[09:47] Imaizumi
    Fall back, Sakamichi.
[09:49] Sakamichi
    Imaizumi-kun's moving up?
[09:51] Imaizumi
    Thanks for pulling until now.
[09:53] Imaizumi
    From here on out,
[09:55] Imaizumi
    it's my job.
[09:58] Sakamichi
    Okay! Good luck, Imaizumi-kun!
SIGN    Day 2

[10:02] Makishima
    Man.
[10:04] Makishima
    What a roller coaster.
[10:07] Makishima
    This is why I love road racing.
[10:10] Makishima
    There's no telling who will

[10:15] Makishima
    Don't let them beat you, Sohoku.

    Gunma Prefecture's Treasure

[10:23] Miki
    1,449 meters above sea level.
[10:25] Miki
    Its summit is a large volcanic crater.
[10:30] Miki
    And at the bottom of that caldera is
[10:32] Miki
    Lake Haruna and the beautiful,
    conical Mount Haruna-Fuji.
SIGN    No Thru Traffic
[10:39] Miki
    And at the Mount Haruna-Fuji
     Ropeway parking lot,
[10:43] Miki
    along the road circling
     Lake Haruna, stands the gate.
[10:49] Miki
    This is the Inter-High's
    second day finish line.
[10:53] Fan
    I heard the lead pack's already
    crossed the mountain line.
[10:56] Fan
    I'm impressed Sohoku caught up.
[10:58] Fan
    Just before the mountain line, their climber
[11:01] Fan
    pulled their second-year ace
    Imaizumi to the lead pack.
[11:04] Sugimoto
    Imaizumi?
[11:06] Sugimoto
    Imaizumi! Imaizumi!
[11:08] Aya
    What's gotten into you, Sugimoto?
[11:10] Aya
    Are you going to faint?
[11:10] Sugimoto
    You did it. You did a great job.
[11:13] Aya
    Does your stomach hurt?
[11:14] Sugimoto
    You're almost there.
[11:15] Sugimoto
    You can do it. You can do it.
[11:18] Sugimoto
    You can do it, Imaizumi!
[11:18] Aya
    Now he's shouting!
[11:20] Aya
    Don't you care what other people will think?
[11:23] Aya
    There's no way he can hear you!
[11:25] Miki
    He will.
[11:27] Aya
    Huh?
[11:28] Miki
    That feeling will reach him.
[11:30] Miki
    He'll receive that feeling
[11:33] Miki
    and ride with all his might.
[11:37] Miki
    You can do it, Imaizumi-kun.
[11:39] Miki
    And well done, Onoda-kun.
[11:43] Sakamichi
    They're fast.
[11:45] Sakamichi
    They're so fast on the downhill.
[11:48] Sakamichi
    Since I'm not good on downhills,
    I'm slowly falling behind.
[11:52] Sakamichi
    But it's the end!
[11:58] Imaizumi
    Onoda, what are you doing?
[11:59] Imaizumi
    We still have to race tomorrow.
[12:01] Imaizumi
    You can fall back.
[12:03] Imaizumi
    Don't waste your energy.
[12:05] Imaizumi
    What are you—
[12:08] Sakamichi
    I forgot to do this.
[12:17] Sakamichi
    I'm entrusting my hopes to you!
[12:19] Imaizumi
    Do it!
[12:22] Sakamichi
    There are two kilometers to the finish line.
[12:24] Sakamichi
    You can do it.
[12:25] Sakamichi
    I know it'll be hard, but, uh...
[12:29] Sakamichi
    I know it'll be tough, but, uh...
[12:30] Imaizumi
    You think I'm that bad?
[12:33] Sakamichi
    I'm entrusting you with the team's hopes!
[12:40] Sakamichi
    You can do it, Imaizumi-kun!
[12:42] Imaizumi
    Yeah!
[12:47] Sakamichi
    I left it to him, at the very end,
[12:51] Sakamichi
    the jersey the team carried this far.
[12:58] Sakamichi
    I relaxed too much.
[13:01] Sakamichi
    We're racing tomorrow, too.
[13:03] Sakamichi
    I have to finish today.
[13:06] Sakamichi
    We made it this far, Naruko-kun.
[13:10] Kaburagi
    It's Naruko-san!
[13:11] Teshima
    Hey, Naruko!
[13:13] Teshima
    You're alive. Are you okay?
[13:15] Teshima
    Can you ride?
[13:18] Naruko
    Just barely.
[13:19] Naruko
    No, wait! Who do you think you're talking to?
[13:22] Naruko
    I'm Naruko the genius!
[13:24] Kuroda
    He rejoined the team.
[13:26] Izumida
    Naruko...
[13:27] Izumida
    He sacrificed himself to
    get Sohoku to the front.
[13:31] Teshima
    Well done. You did great.
[13:34] Naruko
    Tastes like sauce.
[13:36] Naruko
    So,
[13:37] Naruko
    did hotshot catch up to them?
[13:42] Teshima
    Yeah.
[13:43] Teshima
    The lead car's board told us the situation.
[13:47] Teshima
    The lead pack pulled ahead of Onoda.
[13:50] Teshima
    Including Imaizumi, four of them
    are embroiled in the final battle!
[13:54] Announce
    The four leaders are here!
[13:57] Announce
    The downhill has ended, and they're
    entering the flats around Lake Haruna.
[14:01] Announce
    There's just a few hundred
    meters left to the finish line!
[14:04] Imaizumi
    Am I hearing things?
[14:05] Imaizumi
    I thought I just heard Sugimoto's voice.
[14:09] Imaizumi
    I won't let you take this, Hakone Academy.
[14:11] Imaizumi
    I'll ride in front!
[14:14] Yuto
    Hakone Academy lost their ace.
[14:17] Yuto
    An ace should save his last bullet
    for the finish line sprint,
[14:23] Yuto
    so he can fire it just before the
    finish line and push aside all others.
[14:29] Yuto
    That's what Midousuji-san
    and Imaizumi-san are doing.
[14:32] Yuto
    But Hakone Academy used ours
[14:37] Yuto
    to win an insignificant mountain title.
[14:41] Yuto
    What am I pulling for right now?
[14:44] Yuto
    It's like carrying a pistol
    that's out of bullets.
[14:49] Yuto
    This has never happened before.
[14:52] Yuto
    Ashikiba-san is supposed to be calm.
[14:54] Yuto
    He's intelligent.
[14:55] Yuto
    He always makes the right choice.
[14:58] Yuto
    He's kind and strong.
[15:01] Yuto
    As far as I'm concerned, he's far more
    impressive than my other seniors.
[15:05] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    What is it, Yuto?
[15:07] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    Think I should cut my hair again?
[15:09] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    You're right. It's too long.
[15:13] (Flashback) Yuto
    No, I was just looking.
[15:17] (Flashback) Yuto
    You're really tall, Ashikiba-san.
[15:20] (Flashback) Yuto
    Ow...
[15:22] Yuto
    So I respected you.
[15:25] Yuto
    But...
[15:26] Yuto
    Why, Ashikiba-san?
[15:29] Yuto
    You're not someone to act
     thoughtlessly, Ashikiba-san!
[15:34] Yuto
    If we'd given up the mountain line,
    this finish line would've been ours!
[15:39] Yuto
    Easily!
[15:40] Ashikiba
    Face forward, Yuto.
[15:42] Yuto
    Because we're in the middle of a race?
[15:44] Ashikiba
    That's right. Face forward.
[15:46] Yuto
    This is pointless!
[15:48] Yuto
    Hakone Academy has spent all its bullets!
[15:51] Ashikiba
    I...
[15:53] Ashikiba
    I haven't given up on the
    mountain or finish line yet.
[16:05] (Flashback) Yuto
    That's the club room.
[16:06] (Flashback) Yuto
    I've been here once before.
[16:12] (Flashback) Yuto
    Hello. I'm interested in joining the team.
[16:15] (Flashback) Hakogaku
    Seriously?
[16:16] (Flashback) Hakogaku
    He's really a first-year?
[16:18] (Flashback) Hakogaku
    Crazy, right?
[16:20] Hakogaku
    Is that true?
[16:20] Yuto
    They're excited about something...
[16:22] (Flashback) Hakogaku
    Shinkai-san's brother is here.
[16:24] (Flashback) Hakogaku
    What? Seriously?
[16:26] Yuto
    I'll come back another day.
[16:28] (Flashback) Hakogaku
    Huh?
[16:30] (Flashback) Hakogaku
    Hey, you. Wanna join the bicycle club?
[16:33] (Flashback) Hakogaku
    You a first-year?
[16:34] (Flashback) Hakogaku
    Sorry we didn't notice.
[16:36] (Flashback) Hakogaku
    We just got some big news.
[16:39] (Flashback) Hakogaku
    There was a god-like sprinter named
    Shinkai-san who graduated last year.
[16:43] (Flashback) Hakogaku
    His brother is...
[16:47] (Flashback) Hakogaku
    It's him!
[16:49] (Flashback) Hakogaku
    What? You found his brother?
[16:51] (Flashback) Hakogaku
    You're right.
[16:52] (Flashback) Hakogaku
    Whoa, their faces look so similar.
[16:54] Hakogaku
    It's Shinkai-san. He looks so young.
[16:55] Yuto
    You don't need to point...
[16:56] Hakogaku
    He's a little Shinkai-san.
[16:57] Hakogaku
    The rumors were true.
[16:59] (Flashback) Yuto
    Could you stop pointing at me?
[17:01] (Flashback) Hakogaku
    Do you do the ka-pow pose, too?
[17:02] (Flashback) Yuto
    I'm not Hayato-kun. I'm Yuto.
[17:06] (Flashback) Yuto
    Haven't you had enough?
[17:08] (Flashback) Yuto
    My brother has nothing to do with this.
[17:10] (Flashback) Yuto
    I'm my own person.
[17:12] (Flashback) Yuto
    Why are you taking pictures of me?!
[17:22] (Flashback) Kuroda
    Things are awkward.
[17:24] (Flashback) Hakogaku
    Since that incident, yeah.
[17:27] (Flashback) Hakogaku
    In any case, Yuto still hasn't
    apologized to second-year Haraguchi.
[17:31] (Flashback) Hakogaku
    I told him it wasn't his fault.
[17:33] (Flashback) Kuroda
    Even pandas get mad if you
    take pictures of them.
[17:36] (Flashback) Kuroda
    When I heard Shinkai-san's
    brother was coming,
[17:39] (Flashback) Kuroda
    I thought the club would handle it better.
[17:42] (Flashback) Kuroda
    That incident has completely
    turned things upside down.
[17:45] (Flashback) Kuroda
    Now we're treating him with kid gloves.
[17:49] Kuroda
    They did approach him as a group, and go on
    about what a god and star his brother was.
[17:56] Kuroda
    I can see why it annoys him.
[17:59] Kuroda
    Touichirou doesn't know
    how to handle him, either.
[18:02] Kuroda
    Of course he doesn't.
[18:04] Kuroda
    He's Shinkai-san's brother.
[18:06] (Flashback) Hakogaku
    I ran into Yuto in the hallway,
    but he didn't even say hi.
[18:12] (Flashback) Hakogaku
    Maybe he doesn't recognize us yet.
[18:14] (Flashback) Hakogaku
    What?
[18:15] (Flashback) Hakogaku
    Shinkai-san spoke pretty highly of me.
[18:18] (Flashback) Hakogaku
    It came as a shock.
[18:19] Kuroda
    This is Hakone Academy.
[18:21] Kuroda
    Only the strong ride.
[18:23] Kuroda
    That's all we ask.
[18:24] Kuroda
    Being rebellious isn't a bad thing at all.
[18:28] Kuroda
    But if he's chosen for the Inter-High team,
    the others won't accept it.
[18:37] (Flashback) Hakogaku
    Damn it! Someone's catching up!
[18:39] (Flashback) Hakogaku
    Shinkai?
[18:40] (Flashback) Hakogaku
    He passed the second-years?
[18:41] (Flashback) Hakogaku
    This is a practice session for
    Hakone Academy's best climbers!
[18:44] (Flashback) Hakogaku
    Raise the pace, Kaneyan!
[18:45] (Flashback) Hakogaku
    I know, Shino!
[18:47] (Flashback) Hakogaku
    He may be his brother,
    but we can't hold back!
[18:50] (Flashback) Yuto
    It's time to go.
[18:55] (Flashback) Hakogaku
    On this steep incline?
[18:57] (Flashback) Yuto
    And you call yourselves third-years.
[19:01] (Flashback) Yuto
    Talk about lame.
[19:02] (Flashback) Yuto
    You're losing to a first-year.
[19:05] (Flashback) Yuto
    Isn't that right?
[19:07] (Flashback) Yuto
    Is that a yes?
[19:10] (Flashback) Hakogaku
    Damn. When I heard Shinkai-san's brother
    was a climber instead of a sprinter,
[19:16] (Flashback) Hakogaku
    I underestimated him.
[19:18] (Flashback) Hakogaku
    He's a real climber!
[19:24] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    You're surprising everyone, Yuto.
[19:28] (Flashback) Yuto
    Oh, uh...
[19:30] (Flashback) Yuto
    Oh, Ashikiba-san?
[19:33] Yuto
    This is the guy everyone
    thinks is an airhead.
[19:37] Yuto
    He's a third-year and the ace.
[19:40] Yuto
    Why is this guy the ace?
[19:42] Yuto
    Come to think of it,
    we've never spoken before.
[19:44] (Flashback) Yuto
    You're tall.
[19:46] (Flashback) Yuto
    Your bangs must be annoying.
[19:48] (Flashback) Yuto
    Why don't you cut them?
[19:51] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    Did beating the third-years go to your head?
[19:54] (Flashback) Yuto
    Oh, no. Sorry.
[19:57] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    Should you be acting like that
    in front of a third-year?
[20:00] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    You're talking to me with your back
    turned and a drink in your hand.
[20:03] (Flashback) Yuto
    Oh, you're right.
[20:06] Yuto
    What's with this guy?
[20:09] Yuto
    The team calls him an airhead,
    but his words carry a strange weight.
[20:14] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    When you joined the team,
[20:16] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    you were told to ask second- and third-years
    for advice after practicing with them.
[20:22] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    Why aren't you doing that?
[20:23] Yuto
    So he's lecturing me?
[20:25] (Flashback) Yuto
    I don't need advice from
    people weaker than me.
[20:29] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    Did anyone criticize your attitude?
[20:32] (Flashback) Yuto
    Not really.
[20:33] (Flashback) Yuto
    If anything, they said I should be confident.
[20:37] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    No one wants to criticize
    you because of Shinkai-san.
[20:42] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    Isn't that what you want
    to shake off the most?
[20:49] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    Get on your bike, first-year Shinkai Yuto.
[20:53] (Flashback) Yuto
    Huh?
[20:55] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    I really don't like hearing that about guys
    I've been riding with for three years.
[21:02] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    Let's race to the top of that hill.
[21:06] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    I'll crush you.
[21:14] (Flashback) Yuto
    Fine.

[00:02] Yuto
    The second half of this
    route is a winding downhill.
[00:06] Yuto
    He's an airhead motivated by rage.
[00:10] Yuto
    That's the easiest type of person to beat.
[00:13] Yuto
    I'll let him stay ahead for now.
[00:14] Yuto
    His legs will become exhausted in the
    second half, and he'll lose speed.
[00:17] Yuto
    But I'll strike one blow first!
[00:23] (Flashback) Yuto
    Are you familiar with my nickname?
[00:25] (Flashback) Yuto
    They call me the Peak Hornet.
[00:28] (Flashback) Yuto
    Am I too fast? Too close?
[00:31] (Flashback) Yuto
    Is your answer "yes"?
[00:35] (Flashback) Yuto
    You're not on the road.
[00:39] Yuto
    This guy will be easy.
[00:41] Yuto
    His eyes are full of rage.
[00:44] Yuto
    If his rage disrupts his pace like I expect,
    he'll lose speed in the second half!
[00:48] Yuto
    He moved up! He really is an airhead!
[00:50] (Flashback) Yuto
    What should the loser's punishment be?
[00:55] (Flashback) Yuto
    It's not fun without one.

    If I win, will you be my
    assistant in the next race?
[01:03] (Flashback) Yuto
    Since you're so big, I bet
    you block a lot of wind.
[01:06] (Flashback) Yuto
    What do you want, Ashikiba-san?
[01:08] (Flashback) Yuto
    Would you like me to apologize to
    third-years Kaneko-san and
[01:12] (Flashback) Yuto
    Shimozaki-san and ask them for advice?
[01:15] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    That's what you should
    be doing as a first-year.
[01:20] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    If you lose, go find the trash you threw
    on the ground before we started...
[01:27] (Flashback) Ashikiba

    We're indebted to nature.
    We should respect it.

    It's not something you should
    so selfishly pollute.
[03:27] Yuto
    What's with this guy?
[03:29] Yuto
    He's annoying me.
[03:31] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    No one wants to criticize
    you because of Shinkai-san.
[03:37] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    Isn't that what you want
    to shake off the most?
[03:41] Yuto
    He thinks he can say whatever he wants.
[03:44] Yuto
    Does he think he's right?
[03:47] Yuto
    I have...
[03:50] Yuto
    my own troubles!
[03:56] Yuto
    No matter.
[03:57] Yuto
    An airhead like him would never understand.
[04:00] Yuto
    I'm changing my plan.
[04:02] Yuto
    I'll pass him and pull ahead of him!
[04:09] Yuto
    What's going on?
[04:10] Yuto
    He blocked my route as I was about to go.
[04:12] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    I told you, first-year Shinkai Yuto...
[04:16] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    that I'd crush you.
[04:19] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    I'm not letting you get ahead of me!
[04:26] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    You're riding on the gutter.
[04:27] Yuto
    Damn it! He's making fun of me!
[04:30] Yuto
    Then I'll do whatever it
    takes to get in front of him!
[04:36] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    Kaneko...
[04:37] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    Kaneyan hurt his knees after riding with you.
[04:43] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    He and Yuki-chan have been climbing
    buddies since they were first-years.
[04:46] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    They used to talk about the
    Inter-High together all the time.
[04:49] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    But Kaneyan's knees probably
    won't heal in time for the Inter-High.
[04:53] (Flashback) Yuto
    What? Who cares?
[04:56] (Flashback) Yuto
    That's totally unrelated.
[04:58] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    Kenyan practices hard.
[05:00] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    He never makes excuses.
[05:04] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    Shimo knows that, so he never rides
    ahead of Kaneyan on mountains.
[05:09] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    You beat them.
[05:12] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    But is there really...
[05:15] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    nothing you can learn from Kaneda?!
[05:19] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    You just had "nobody understands my pain"
     written all over your face.
[05:25] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    How could they? Of course they don't.
[05:29] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    Because you don't even
    try to understand theirs.
[05:32] Yuto
    What? What does that mean?
[05:35] Yuto
    Are you saying someone as physically
    blessed as you has problems?
[05:39] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    You don't work hard and lack respect.
[05:43] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    If you fought against the old Kaneyan...
[05:47] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    You'd lose!
[05:50] Yuto
    He's gone!
[05:52] Yuto
    Am I going to lose to him?
[05:55] Yuto
    It's just a stupid mental battle!
    A mental battle!
[05:57] Yuto
    I can't lose now!
[06:00] Yuto
    Go!
[06:02] Yuto
    Was he not motivated by rage?
[06:10] Yuto
    So he was calmly observing my
    movements and controlling me.
[06:15] Yuto
    Damn.
[06:16] Yuto
    I couldn't even see his
    back on the final bend.
[06:20] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    Get up. Go pick up your trash.
[06:23] (Flashback) Yuto
    Yes, sir.
[06:26] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    I'll go with you.
[06:28] (Flashback) Yuto
    Huh?
[06:29] (Flashback) Yuto
    You don't have to.
[06:32] (Flashback) Yuto
    You'd have to climb to the
    peak again to get back there.
[06:34] (Flashback) Yuto
    It's my penalty.
[06:36] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    Oh, that's right.
[06:38] Yuto
    He's not putting up a fight?
[06:41] Yuto
    Maybe he really is an airhead.
[06:44] Yuto
    I hate to admit it, but it's true that
    he's stronger and smarter than me.
[06:49] Yuto
    When he accelerated in front of me,
    the pressure I felt was no laughing matter.

    Did you hear about Yuto?
[07:24] (Flashback) Hakogaku
    He apologized to Haraguchi
    for breaking his phone.
[07:28] (Flashback) Kuroda
    I can tell from watching him at practice.
[07:31] (Flashback) Kuroda
    He's fierce, but he's changed.

    Until then, I thought of everyone
    I rode with as an opponent.

[08:19] Imaizumi
    No, it' because of his all-out attack
    for the mountain line.

    couldn't last until the finish line.

    Feinted?
[09:38] Ashikiba
    After taking the mountain line,
[09:40] Ashikiba
    I put on an act that Sohoku and
    Kyoto Fushimi wouldn't notice.
[09:44] Ashikiba
    I deliberately slowed down, fell behind
     my assistant, and made him pull.
[09:50] Ashikiba
    I made them think I was the ace
    taking today's finish line.
[09:56] Ashikiba
    I made them think Hakone Academy
    was finished, so they'd let down their guard.
[10:02] Ashikiba
    When I decided to attack in the mountains,
    I knew I'd be exhausting my legs.
[10:08] Ashikiba
    I knew I had to plan for what was next.
[10:12] Ashikiba
    I knew immediately who else
    could go for the finish line.

    If I'd pulled for Yuto on the
    downhill instead of pretending,

    they would've realized he
    was the ace and crushed us.

[16:49] Midousuji
    He did that on purpose, to see how we'd react?

    He was a second faster!
[19:13] Yuto
    He just barely got ahead!
[19:16] Midousuji
    But he's Weakizumi! But he's Crackizumi!
[19:19] Midousuji
    But he's Chirpizumi! But he's...
[19:23] Midousuji
    No, no. That doesn't matter now.
[19:26] Midousuji
    There are pests in front of me!
[19:30] Midousuji
    I'll knock them aside!
[19:32] Midousuji
    That's all that matters!
[19:34] Imaizumi
    I'll win!
[19:37] Imaizumi
    I've fought for the finish line
    in countless races until now.
[19:41] Imaizumi
    But I've only ever won when my body
    reacted instinctively, like it did now.
[19:47] Imaizumi
    I'll shake off Midousuji and Shinkai.
[19:49] Imaizumi
    I'll ride in the front!
[19:51] Imaizumi
    So jump! Jump, jump!
[19:54] Imaizumi
    My limiter!
[19:57] Miki
    Imaizumi-kun's coming!
[19:58] Sugimoto
    He's in front!
[19:59] Toji
    He attacked first!
[20:00] Danchiku
    Go, Imaizumi-san!
[20:05] Imaizumi
    Jump, jump!
[20:08] Miki
    Imaizumi-kun...
[20:09] (Flashback) Imaizumi
    I feel like I haven't gone all-out
     since I became a second-year.
[20:14] (Flashback) Imaizumi
    Last year, I had seniors.
    I was unconstrained.
[20:17] (Flashback) Imaizumi
    But this year...
[20:19] (Flashback) Imaizumi
    It feels like I've had a limiter
    installed here the whole time.
[20:24] Miki
    His limiter...
[20:26] Fan
    They're catching up!
[20:28] Imaizumi
    Fall off! Off, off!
[20:36] Imaizumi
    A limiter? Don't be ridiculous,
    Imaizumi Shunsuke.
[20:41] Imaizumi
    This is nothing.
[20:42] Imaizumi
    Compared to what they did, this is nothing!
[20:46] Imaizumi
    If it won't come off, then I'll force it off.
[20:49] Imaizumi
    The whole team carried this jersey this
    far by pushing themselves to their limits!
[20:58] Imaizumi
    Fall off, limiter!
[21:09] Fan
    Sohoku's accelerating!
[21:11] Fan
    He's so fast!
[21:11] Fan
    What is that sprint?
[21:15] Imaizumi
    Charge straight ahead, Imaizumi Shunsuke!
[21:18] Aya
    Why is he so intense?
[21:20] Aya
    Has he always been that passionate?
[21:23] Sugimoto
    Imaizumi's always full of passion.
[21:25] Sugimoto
    He's the most dependable guy on the team.
[21:28] Sugimoto
    And the strongest.
[21:32] Sugimoto
    Win, Imaizumi!
[21:36] Imaizumi
    Of course!
[21:38] Miki
    He's back to his usual strong-willed self.

    You could tell? I cut them myself.

    That's plenty of distance to catch up!
[04:01] Midousuji
    Oh, right.
[04:02] Midousuji
    In that past I said that and squeezed
[04:08] Midousuji
    my crystallized victory
     too tightly, making me drop it.
[04:13] Midousuji
    I'll be fine this year.
[04:15] Midousuji
    I'll hold my victory with both hands,
[04:20] Midousuji
    so it can't escape.
[04:31] (Flashback) Aunt
    Akira-kun, watch your step over there.
[04:35] (Flashback) Yuki
    There are so many, Mom.
[04:37] (Flashback) Aunt
    You're right.
[04:39] (Flashback) Aunt
    It's dark out. Watch your step.
[04:42] (Flashback) Yuki
    The fireflies are beautiful.
[04:44] Midousuji
    They're so beautiful.
[04:47] Midousuji
    I'm sure Mom would love it
    if I brought her some.
[05:01] (Flashback) Aunt
    Are you trying to catch them, Akira-kun?
[05:04] (Flashback) Yuki
    You can do it, Akira!
[05:10] (Flashback) Aunt
    You're so clumsy, Akira-kun.
[05:13] (Flashback) Yuki
    Are you okay?
[05:17] (Flashback) Midousuji
    I caught one.
[05:19] (Flashback) Yuki
    It's glowing!
[05:21] (Flashback) Yuki
    Let me see!
[05:23] (Flashback) Midousuji
    No!
[05:25] (Flashback) Midousuji
    I'm taking this to my mom at the hospital.
[05:31] (Flashback) Midousuji
    I know she'll like it.
[05:33] (Flashback) Midousuji
    I caught it. I won't let it get away.
[05:36] (Flashback) Aunt
    But fireflies don't live long.
[05:39] (Flashback) Aunt
    Not long enough to take to the hospital.
[05:42] (Flashback) Aunt
    Let it go.
[05:43] (Flashback) Midousuji
    No.
[05:45] (Flashback) Aunt
    Akira-kun, if you squeeze that tight...
[05:59] (Flashback) Midousuji
    There were so many.
[06:00] (Flashback) Midousuji
    They were all around the river.
[06:02] (Flashback) Midousuji
    They'd light up like "fwoom" and go out.
[06:06] (Flashback) Midousuji
    I caught one so I could show you.
[06:10] (Flashback) Midousuji
    Like this.
[06:11] (Flashback) Midousuji
    But, uh...
[06:17] (Flashback) Midousuji
    I held it too tight...
[06:20] (Flashback) Midousuji
    and crushed it.
[06:30] (Flashback) Mom
    Akira, you're so good at explaining things.
[06:37] (Flashback) Mom
    You're so good. I feel like I was there.
[06:44] (Flashback) Mom
    You even include gestures and sounds.
[06:48] (Flashback) Mom
    It's too bad about the firefly,
    but I felt like I could see it.
[06:53] (Flashback) Mom
    Thanks to you, I got to see the fireflies.
[06:57] Midousuji
    Thanks to me...
[07:00] (Flashback) Midousuji
    No, real fireflies are prettier.
[07:04] (Flashback) Midousuji
    I'll take you there.
[07:06] (Flashback) Midousuji
    I'll bring a flashlight and show you the way.
[07:09] (Flashback) Midousuji
    It's dangerous, so I'll lead you by the hand.
[07:11] (Flashback) Midousuji
    Since firefly season's over
    this year, we'll go next year.
[07:19] (Flashback) Mom
    You're right.
[07:20] (Flashback) Mom
    Thank you, Akira. I look forward to it.
[07:26] Midousuji
    I remember that summer clearly.
[07:30] Midousuji
    The smell of disinfectant.
[07:33] Midousuji
    The slightly chilly building.
[07:36] Midousuji
    The hospital was my oasis.
[07:40] Midousuji
    Happy times and warm, fuzzy feelings.
[07:44] Midousuji
    If I were to compare it
    to a color, it would be...
[07:48] Midousuji
    Yellow.
[07:53] (Flashback) Mom
    There's a proper way to catch fireflies.
[07:57] (Flashback) Mom
    It's like this...
[08:05] (Flashback) Nurse
    Midousuji-san!
[08:11] (Flashback) Mom
    I'm okay now. Thank you.
[08:16] (Flashback) Nurse
    Akira-kun's been coming every day
     since summer break started.
[08:20] (Flashback) Nurse
    He bikes in from far away, right?
[08:23] (Flashback) Nurse
    He said he's been practicing a lot.
[08:26] (Flashback) Nurse
    You must be proud of him.
[08:30] (Flashback) Mom
    He's always been a hard worker.
[08:33] (Flashback) Mom
    He can be awkward, but he's honest.
[08:39] (Flashback) Mom
    I wish I could've been with him.
[08:46] (Flashback) Mom
    I think he's been pushing himself
    too hard without me around.
[08:51] (Flashback) Mom
    He's too proud to give up.
[08:55] (Flashback) Mom
    He stopped bringing me notices
    for class observation day.
[09:02] (Flashback) Nurse
    Let's talk to the doctor about you
    temporarily leaving the hospital.
[09:06] (Flashback) Nurse
    We can ask Akira-kun for his schedule.
[09:09] (Flashback) Mom
    You're right.
[09:11] (Flashback) Mom
    I think he wants to show me
     how hard he works.
[09:17] (Flashback) Mom
    How he grits his teeth.
[09:21] (Flashback) Mom
    Sometimes I imagine him entering
    middle school, then high school.
[09:29] (Flashback) Mom
    He'll ride that cool bike and keep
    moving forward with all his strength.
[09:36] (Flashback) Mom
    Charging straight ahead at incredible speeds.
[09:41] (Flashback) Mom
    If I could see him pass everyone
    else and take first...
[09:46] (Flashback) Mom
    I probably wouldn't be able to stop crying.
[09:54] (Flashback) Nurse
    You must be looking forward to it.
[09:55] (Flashback) Nurse
    You'd better get well soon, so you can see it.
[10:01] (Flashback) Mom
    You're right. I'll do my best.
[10:05] (Flashback) Mom
    It's okay.
[10:06] (Flashback) Mom
    Just imagining how Akira-kun will grow...
[10:12] (Flashback) Mom
    gives me strength.
[10:33] (Flashback) Nurse
    He's back. The boy from room 302.
[10:37] (Flashback) Nurse
    Oh, her son?
[10:39] (Flashback) Nurse
    But she's not here anymore.
[10:46] Midousuji
    I promised I'd show her
    the fireflies next year.
[10:52] Midousuji
    She said she'd come watch me race.
[10:55] Midousuji
    Why isn't she at the window?
[10:58] Midousuji
    I'm here, so why isn't
    she coming to greet me?
[11:03] Midousuji
    Is she not here today?
[11:07] Midousuji
    Whatever...
[11:10] Midousuji
    Why? Why don't I feel good, even though
    I'm coming back from the hospital?
[11:16] Midousuji
    Why don't I feel warm and fuzzy inside?
[11:20] Midousuji
    I don't get it.
[11:23] Midousuji
    But...
[11:25] (Flashback) Mom
    No matter what happens, keep moving forward.
[11:28] (Flashback) Mom
    My little boy won.
[11:33] Midousuji
    I'll keep moving forward,
    no matter what happens.
[11:40] (Flashback) Mom
    There's a proper way to catch fireflies.
[11:43] (Flashback) Mom
    It's like this.
[11:45] (Flashback) Mom
    You do it gently, so you don't crush them.
[11:49] (Flashback) Mom
    That's how everything works.
[11:52] (Flashback) Mom
    Anything important you've got to grab gently.
[11:59] Fan

[12:07] Midousuji
    This time, I won't let you go.
[12:10] Midousuji
    I'd forgotten.
[12:12] Midousuji
    Grab it with both hands.
[12:15] Midousuji
    Grasp it tightly, but gently,
    so it doesn't break.
[12:19] Midousuji
    After all, it's important.

[12:35] Yuto
    So what's going on?
[12:38] Yuto
    I'm in a dangerous situation.
[12:40] Yuto
    Ashikiba-san made me the ace.
[12:42] Yuto
    The finish line's right there.
[12:45] Yuto
    Even though I'm a climber, my body's
    tingling and my heart's pounding.
[12:51] Yuto
    I'm so excited by this situation.
[12:55] Yuto
    This feeling...
[12:59] Yuto
    My brother was a great sprinter.
[13:02] Yuto
    My brother started riding early
    and quickly distinguished himself.
[13:07] Yuto
    Before I knew it...
[13:09] Announcer
    Shinkai Hayato wins the
    elementary school division again!
[13:14] Yuto
    He was always shining up
    on the winner's podium.
[13:18] Yuto
    It wasn't long before I started riding, too.
[13:24] (Flashback) Hayato
    Faster!
[13:25] (Flashback) Yuto

[13:31] (Flashback) Yuto
    Yeah!
[13:32] Yuto
    Everything was so much fun.
[13:35] Yuto
    I loved being praised by
    my brother, so I rode every day.
[13:41] (Flashback) Hayato
    Want some?
[13:42] (Flashback) Yuto
    Yeah!
[13:45] (Flashback) Yuto
    The energy bars you give me
    taste so good for some reason.
[13:49] (Flashback) Hayato
    They all taste the same.
[13:52] (Flashback) Yuto
    Hey, how can I ride like you?
[13:56] (Flashback) Hayato
    It comes down to how much
    you practice, I guess.
[13:59] (Flashback) Yuto
    Got it!
[14:01] (Flashback) Hayato
    Since you're three years younger,
[14:03] (Flashback) Hayato
    
    we won't be on the same team
     in middle or high school.
[14:07] (Flashback) Yuto
    What? By the time I enter school,
    you'll have graduated...
[14:12] (Flashback) Yuto
    Huh?
[14:13] (Flashback) Yuto
    No!
[14:15] (Flashback) Hayato
    "No" isn't going to change anything.
[14:16] (Flashback) Yuto
    I want to ride together!
[14:20] Yuto
    Since I was so persistent,
    he talked to a teacher about it.
[14:24] Yuto
    I was allowed to practice with him
    as long as it was only on Sundays.
[14:28] Yuto
    As a grade schooler,
[14:30] Yuto
    I was allowed to ride with my brother's
    Hadano Daiichi Middle School team.
[14:35] (Flashback) Hayato
    This is Yuto. He's my younger brother.
[14:38] (Flashback) Hayato
    He started biking recently.
[14:41] (Flashback) Hayato
    He's got talent.
[14:43] Yuto
    Talent? What's talent?
[14:47] Yuto
    Well, whatever.
[14:48] Yuto
    Now I get to keep riding with Hayato.
[14:53] Yuto
    At the time, I was really excited.
[14:58] Yuto
    I wanted to see how incredible Hayato
    had become as a middle schooler.
[15:02] Yuto
    As though anticipating the
    performance of a star player on TV,
[15:06] Yuto
    some nights I couldn't sleep because
    I was so excited to see him up close.
[15:14] Yuto
    Why am I recalling that now?
[15:17] Yuto
    I'm in the middle of a race!
[15:19] Yuto
    Yeah!
[15:21] Yuto
    But my brother left me behind far
    more quickly than I imagined.
[15:29] Yuto
    What? We're riding in a huge group?
[15:32] Yuto
    The guys in front are in my way.
[15:34] Yuto
    I can't ride with Hayato like this.
[15:36] (Flashback) Yuto
    Excuse me!
[15:39] (Flashback) Senpai
    Since you're still small, you can
    stay out of the wind behind us.
[15:43] (Flashback) Senpai
    There's no need to be shy.
[15:44] (Flashback) Yuto
    That's not it.
[15:46] (Flashback) Yuto
    There's no point if I'm back here. Hayato—
[15:49] (Flashback) Senpai
    Your brother's amazing.
[15:50] (Flashback) Senpai
    As a first-year, he took third
    in his first tournament.
[15:54] (Flashback) Yuto
    Can I move up to the front?
[15:56] (Flashback) Senpai
    To the front? Don't waste your time.
[15:58] (Flashback) Senpai
    Shinkai's so incredible, he's on
     a different training menu.
[16:03] Yuto
    What? No way!
[16:04] Yuto
    Wait!
[16:05] (Flashback) Yuto
    I'm going with him!
[16:06] (Flashback) Senpai
    You can't. The course is too hard.
[16:09] (Flashback) Yuto
    Then when can I ride with him?
[16:12] (Flashback) Senpai
    He's faster than bad high schoolers.
[16:15] (Flashback) Senpai
    You can't handle it.
[16:20] Yuto
    Everyone else always happily described
    how much better my brother was than me.
[16:26] Yuto
    We're on different levels?
[16:28] Yuto
    Don't be absurd, damn it!
[16:29] Yuto
    I'll just raise my own level!
[16:32] Yuto
    I'll participate in a race and win!
[16:37] Yuto
    It comes down to how much you practice.
[16:39] Yuto
    Hayato said not to get the wrong idea.
[16:42] Yuto
    I started practicing alone
    to catch up to Hayato.
[16:46] (Flashback) Yuto
    Yeah!
[16:48] (Flashback) Adult
    What a fast grade schooler!
[16:50] Yuto
    I practiced every day.
[16:52] Yuto
    And then...
[16:54] Yuto
    I won my eighth race.
[16:56] Yuto
    Yes! See that, everyone?
[17:00] Yuto
    You can't have any objections now.
[17:03] Yuto
    Anyway, winning a race feels good.
[17:06] Yuto
    Is this how Hayato felt?
[17:09] Yuto
    It's not bad.
[17:11] Yuto
    Now people will know the name "Yuto."
[17:15] Yuto
    But what I learned at that race...
[17:18] Announce
    The winner of the elementary school division
    is Shinkai Hayato's younger brother!
[17:24] Yuto
    ...was how great my brother was.
[17:26] (Flashback) Fan
    Wow, he's Hayato's brother.
[17:29] (Flashback) Fan
    When his brother was in grade school...
[17:31] (Flashback) Fan
    I know the one. That race, right?
[17:33] (Flashback) Fan
    Yeah.
[17:33] Yuto
    Huh? Hey!
[17:35] Yuto
    Wait! I'm the one who won!
[17:37] Yuto
    I worked pretty hard for this!
[17:40] Yuto
    I'm Yuto!
[17:43] (Flashback) Reporter
    Congratulations.
[17:44] (Flashback) Reporter
    Can I get an interview?
[17:45] (Flashback) Yuto
    Sure.
[17:46] (Flashback) Reporter
    Your brother's riding in the
    middle school race after this.
[17:49] (Flashback) Reporter
    Do you think he'll win?
[17:50] (Flashback) Yuto
    What?
[17:52] (Flashback) Reporter
    What's your brother normally like?
[17:54] (Flashback) Yuto
    What? My brother?
[17:56] (Flashback) Yuto
    He makes me get the remote control for him.
[17:58] (Flashback) Reporter
    I bet you hope you'll catch up
     to your brother soon.
[18:01] (Flashback) Yuto
    Y-Yeah...
[18:04] Yuto
    Why am I smiling and talking about Hayato?
[18:10] Yuto
    After that day, things between my
    brother and me became awkward.
[18:14] Yuto
    We stopped talking.
[18:16] Yuto
    Yeah!
[18:18] Fan
    Such acceleration!
[18:19] Fan
    #16's trying to catch up!
[18:22] (Flashback) Hayato
    What's wrong, Yuto?
[18:24] (Flashback) Hayato
    Were you not happy to win the other day?
[18:28] (Flashback) Yuto
    I was happy.
[18:32] (Flashback) Hayato
    I see.
[18:34] (Flashback) Yuto
    Listen, I'm going to stop riding
    with the middle school team.
[18:41] (Flashback) Hayato
    I see.
[18:43] (Flashback) Yuto
    I've only ever been Hayato-kun's
    younger brother.
[18:47] (Flashback) Hayato
    I see...
[18:48] (Flashback) Yuto
    Close the door.
[18:51] (Flashback) Hayato
    Sure.
[18:55] Hayato
    Hayato-kun, huh?
[18:57] Hayato
    Maybe always being seen as my
    brother is stressing him out.
[19:02] Yuto
    Everyone says it. They all do.
[19:05] Yuto
    Hayato's amazing,
    learn from Hayato, become Hayato.
[19:09] Yuto
    I can't do it!
[19:11] Yuto
    Don't be ridiculous!
[19:12] Yuto
    I'm Shinkai Yuto!
[19:17] Yuto
    If I keep riding like this, I'll always
    be Hayato's little brother.
[19:22] Yuto
    If Hayato-kun's a sprinter...
[19:25] Yuto
    Then I'll become a climber!
[19:28] Yuto
    Say it! Say it!
[19:31] Yuto
    Call me Yuto!
[19:33] (Flashback) Rider
    He's so small, but fast!
[19:35] (Flashback) Rider
    I've seen that face before!
[19:37] (Flashback) Rider
    That's Shinkai Hayato's brother!
[19:39] Yuto
    I'll win the hill climb!
[19:42] Yuto
    I'll participate in the Inter-High,
[19:44] Yuto
    beat the strongest climber, and prove
    to everyone that I'm Shinkai Yuto!
[19:50] Yuto
    I won't follow my brother's path!
[19:55] Yuto
    It's odd.
[19:57] Yuto
    I thought I made up my mind that day.
[20:00] Yuto
    But since the moment Ashikiba-san made me
    the ace, my cells haven't stopped buzzing.
[20:06] Yuto
    What's this tightness in my chest?
[20:09] Yuto
    This nostalgic feeling.
[20:12] Yuto
    This speed, this excitement, this tension...
[20:16] Yuto
    I'm just before the finish line on
    the second day of the Inter-High.
[20:18] Yuto
    It doesn't make sense for me
    to be recalling this now.
[20:24] (Flashback) Hayato
    Let's race to the top of Mount Azuma!
[20:25] (Flashback) Yuto
    Okay!
[20:27] Yuto
    I used to race against Hayato
    all the time for fun.
[20:30] Yuto
    That was a sprint.
[20:33] (Flashback) Hayato
    That's it, Yuto! Faster!
[20:38] Yuto
    With tears in my eyes, a smile on my face...
[20:41] (Flashback) Hayato
    You're strong.
[20:44] Yuto
    With joy in my heart...
[20:47] Yuto
    He taught me how to sprint!
[20:52] Yuto
    There used to be a demon that
    appeared on Hakone's straight roads.
[20:56] Yuto
    Have you heard that demon
    has a younger brother?
[21:05] Imaizumi
    The brother! His eyes have changed.
[21:08] Midousuji
    A demon! Does he become one, too?
[21:11] Midousuji
    A sprinting demon?
[21:13] Yuto
    Yeah!
[21:19] Fan
    He caught up!
[21:20] Fan
    He forced his way in at the last second!
[21:23] Fan
    He passed them!
[21:25] Hakogaku
    Go, Yuto!
[21:26] Hakogaku
    There's fifty meters left!
[21:30] Yuto
    A sprint!
[21:31] Yuto
    It's hard!
[21:33] Yuto
    But it feels so good!
[23:14] Hayato
    Yuto, let's have a staring contest for it.
[23:17] Yuto
    Okay.
[23:18] Both
    Ready, set, go!
[23:27] Yuto
    Your face is funny!
[23:29] Hayato
    You lose.
[23:32] Hayato
    Want some?
[23:35] Yuto
    Yeah!

    In every way, I was far
    superior to these pests!
[14:07] Midousuji
    I proved that of all the
     people who raced today,
[14:13] Midousuji
    I was the most right!
[14:18] Fan
    No, he's right.
[14:20] Fan
    Winning proves that.
[14:22] Fan
    He's so unconventional!
[14:24] Fan
    He's overcome Hakone Academy!
[14:26] Fan
    The champs have been replaced.
[14:28] Fan
    No, he's not a champion.
[14:30] Fan
    He's a ruler!
[14:31] Fan
    He beat back Hakone Academy's steady advance
    and beat last year's winners, Sohoku!
[14:37] Fan
    All by himself, too!
[14:39] Fan
    He's the ruler of the race, Midousuji Akira!
[14:42] Fan
    Midousuji!
[14:43] Fan
    Kyoto Fushimi!
[14:46] Midousuji
    People are weak.
[14:47] Midousuji
    That's why they look up to the strong.
[14:51] Midousuji
    With a victorious cry,
    I swayed the crowd to my side.
[14:58] Midousuji
    Tomorrow is the last day.
[15:00] Midousuji
    Tomorrow's race should
    be even more interesting.
[15:04] Announce
    The sprint and mountain awards
    will be handed out next.
[15:10] Teshima
    Loss, huh?
[15:12] Teshima
    Either way, tomorrow is our last race.
[15:15] Teshima
    We'll have to face off against
    the guys standing on that stage.
[15:19] Aoyagi
    Yeah.
[15:20] Teshima
    And it'll be our last race together, Hajime.
[15:26] Teshima
    We third-years are retiring after this race.
[15:30] Aoyagi
    Yeah, Junta.
[15:32] Teshima
    Will you keep me from trembling tomorrow, too?
[15:34] Aoyagi
    Yeah, I will.
[15:36] Teshima
    You will pull me across the flats?
[15:38] Aoyagi
    Yeah, I'll pull you at 100% speed.
[15:41] Teshima
    That's good to hear.
[15:44] Teshima
    You know, I've been thinking...
[15:47] Teshima
    I have a small wish.
[15:48] Teshima
    I'm hoping that during tomorrow's
    race at the Inter-High,
[15:53] Teshima
    we can sync up our movements and breathing
[15:57] Teshima
    and do our Synchronized Straight Twin.
[16:09] Aoyagi
    I'm okay. It's nothing.
[16:13] Aoyagi
    I just tripped.
[16:17] Aoyagi
    I'm tired from today's race.
[16:19] Aoyagi
    I'll be fine after some rest.
[16:24] Aya
    You're doing more laundry, Miki?
[16:27] Miki
    Yeah. I just have this and
    this and this, Aya-chan.
[16:30] Aya
    Why are you smiling?
[16:33] Teshima
    I never thought I was doing
    it alone, but I was arrogant.
[16:39] Teshima
    I thought I just had to do my best.
[16:42] Teshima
    That he would help me.
[16:46] Teshima
    Somewhere in my mind, I thought that.
[16:49] Teshima
    I hid behind my weakness.
[16:53] Teshima
    Like he has until now.
[16:56] Teshima
    Like he did today.
[16:59] Teshima
    I thought he'd do something.
[17:03] Teshima
    I'm an idiot. I relied on him too much.
[17:06] Teshima
    I assumed he was tough.
[17:08] Teshima
    I assumed he'd always be by my side.
[17:10] (Flashback) Aoyagi
    I'm okay. It's nothing.
[17:14] Teshima
    Of course it's not "nothing"!
[17:16] Teshima
    But I told him my dream.
[17:22] Teshima
    Aoyagi, are you hurting?
[17:25] Teshima
    What about tomorrow's race?
[17:36] Aoyagi
    Junta...
[17:38] Aoyagi
    Thanks for telling me your dream.
[17:41] Aoyagi
    I always worry about the
    things I couldn't do.
[17:45] Aoyagi
    That's why your cheerfulness saves me.
[17:49] Aoyagi
    You always tell me about
    miracles, hopes, and dreams.
[17:53] Aoyagi
    Because of the visions you show me,
[17:56] Aoyagi
    I'm able to move forward, Junta.
[18:01] Aoyagi
    I pushed myself too hard.
[18:03] Aoyagi
    The pain's getting worse.
[18:06] Aoyagi
    I don't have a choice.
[18:07] Aoyagi
    I'll have to rely on someone.
[18:09] Aoyagi
    An experienced first-year...
[18:12] Aoyagi
    Kaburagi? No...
[18:15] Aoyagi
    What? You're injured?
[18:17] Aoyagi
    Danchiku, I'm going to ride tomorrow.
[18:20] Aoyagi
    So I need you to get some things for me.
[18:23] Danchiku
    Yes, sir.
[18:24] Aoyagi
    All the tape, supports, ice,
    and painkillers we have.
[18:30] Aoyagi
    I need you to tape me up
    and massage me in my room.
[18:33] Aoyagi
    And don't tell anyone about this.
[18:37] Aoyagi
    Not even Kaburagi.
[18:38] Aoyagi
    We don't need to make them worry.
[18:41] Danchiku
    Yes, sir.
[18:44] Naruko
    What are you up to, Onoda-kun?
[18:46] Sakamichi
    Naruko-kun.
[18:47] Naruko
    You're riding after your bath?
[18:50] Sakamichi
    Yeah.
[18:52] Sakamichi
    Toji-san swapped my gears out for some
    lighter climbing ones for tomorrow's race.
[18:56] Sakamichi
    I thought I'd test them out.
[18:59] Naruko
    Really?
[19:00] Sakamichi
    But that's not the only reason.
[19:03] Sakamichi
    Tomorrow's the last day
    of this year's Inter-High.
[19:06] Sakamichi
    When I think about it, I can't relax.
[19:09] Sakamichi
    I feel excited and restless.
[19:12] Sakamichi
    I feel like I still have things left undone.
[19:15] Sakamichi
    I thought riding my bike would help me relax.
[19:20] Naruko
    Sounds like you.
[19:22] Naruko
    But what sounds even more like you is
    listening to a Whatever Hime CD on repeat.
SIGN    Love Hime
[19:30] Sakamichi
    That would work, too!
[19:32] Sakamichi
    Which should I do?
[19:33] Naruko
    You've already got your bike out.
[19:35] Naruko
    Go for a ride.
[19:36] Sakamichi
    Okay. I'll be back soon.
[19:42] Sakamichi
    I'm nervous.
[19:45] Sakamichi
    Tomorrow's the last race.
[19:48] Sakamichi
    Everyone's done their best this past year.
[19:51] Sakamichi
    They've worked really hard.
[19:53] Sakamichi
    But as of right now,
[19:55] Sakamichi
    Sohoku hasn't won a single
    number tag at this Inter-High.
[20:00] Sakamichi
    Imaizumi-kun did his best at the
    finish line today, but he didn't win.
[20:06] Sakamichi
    Tomorrow's the last day.
[20:08] Sakamichi
    I have to work hard on the third day.
[20:11] Sakamichi
    Since I won last year, they probably
    expect me to win this year.
[20:16] Sakamichi
    I wonder if I can.
[20:18] Sakamichi
    No, I shouldn't think that!
[20:21] Sakamichi
    I won't be able to relax!
[20:24] Sakamichi
    But last year, I had Makishima-san.
[20:28] (Flashback) Makishima
    Enjoy the tension for now.
[20:31] (Flashback) Makishima
    They're motivating us
    more than you might expect.
[20:35] (Flashback) Makishima
    You have to think of ways
[20:37] (Flashback) Makishima
    to turn the situation around.
[20:39] Sakamichi
    No, what am I thinking?
[20:42] Sakamichi
    Aoyagi-san said it's different this year.
[20:44] Sakamichi
    I'm stronger now.
[20:46] Sakamichi
    I'll sing the Love Hime song.
[20:49] Sakamichi
    I've always felt these hidden feelings—
[20:55] Sakamichi
    Huh? A bike?
[20:57] Sakamichi
    Who's riding this late at
    night on this narrow pass?
[21:02] Sakamichi
    I've seen that form before.
[21:05] Sakamichi
    He's fast.
[21:06] Sakamichi
    And silent.
[21:10] Sakamichi
    He's climbing silently, like he's on rails.
[21:14] Sakamichi
    So quietly that it puts
    even the forest to sleep.
[21:17] Sakamichi
    The Sleeping Climb!
[21:19] Sakamichi
    It must be him.
[21:21] Sakamichi
    The man who brought excitement to the
    mountains at last year's Inter-High...
[21:25] Sakamichi
    Hakone Academy's Mountain God, Toudou-san!
[21:27] Toudou
    Well, if isn't four-eyes.
[23:02] Sakamichi
    Princess, Princess!
[23:04] Sakamichi
    I love, love, love you!
[23:06] Sakamichi
    Princess! Princess!
[23:07] Naruko
    Hearing this song gives me strength.
[23:08] Sakamichi
    Twinkle, twinkle!
[23:09] Kaburagi
    Jeez! Please don't sing that song!
[23:12] Aoyagi
    You're not going to sing?
[23:13] Kaburagi
    No way!
[23:15] Kaburagi
    I had no choice before, when it
     was a command from God...
[23:18] Kaburagi
    Teshima-san, please put a stop to this!
[23:20] Both
    Princess, Princess!
[23:21] Kaburagi
    Hey!
[23:22] Danchiku
    Princess, Princess...
[23:24] Kaburagi
    Danchiku...
[23:25] Sakamichi
    Today, we'll sing the medley!
[23:27] Sakamichi
    I've always felt these hidden feelings!
[23:32] Sakamichi
    You'll always be my princess!
[23:33] All
    Huh?
[23:34] Imaizumi
    Ta-ta-ta-tan!
[23:35] All
    What?!

[01:38] Sakamichi
    It must be him.
[01:39] Sakamichi
    That's Hakone Academy's
    Mountain God, Toudou-san!
[01:44] Toudou
    Well, if isn't four-eyes.
[01:47] Sakamichi
    G-Good evening!
[01:49] Sakamichi
    It's been a while!
[01:51] Sakamichi
    He's exuding so much pressure.
[01:54] Sakamichi
    But he's so composed.
[01:55] Sakamichi
    He's so cool!
[01:57] Sakamichi
    Are you here to inspire Hakone Academy?
[02:03] Toudou
    I was going to, but I got a call.
[02:07] Toudou
    Now I have to ride with this
    borrowed jersey and bike.
[02:11] Toudou
    I'm chasing after a man riding up ahead.
[02:17] Sakamichi
    I see.
[02:18] Sakamichi
    Toudou-san, you haven't changed.
[02:21] Sakamichi
    No, actually....
[02:22] Sakamichi
    You've gotten faster at climbing.
[02:24] Sakamichi
    Your aura's grown even more impressive.
[02:27] Toudou
    That's an honest impression, four-eyes.
[02:31] Toudou
    That's exactly right!
[02:32] Toudou
    I, the thrice-blessed Toudou Jinpachi,
    have honed my speed and coolness even further!
[02:40] Sakamichi
    H-He really hasn't changed.
[02:42] Toudou
    I'm in college now.
[02:45] Toudou
    Fuku, Shinkai, and Arakita
    are my opponents now.
[02:49] Sakamichi
    Opponents...
[02:51] Toudou
    But don't take me lightly, four-eyes.
[02:55] Toudou
    They are my opponents only when we race.
[02:58] Toudou
    In the mountains, they are no match for me.
[03:00] Sakamichi
    H-He's so cool!
[03:04] Toudou
    It's too bad you didn't get to race
    against Manami in today's race.
[03:11] Sakamichi
    Oh, well... yes.
[03:14] Toudou
    I was disappointed I didn't
    get to see you fight, too.
[03:19] Toudou
    I was looking forward to it at the peak.
[03:21] Sakamichi
    You were watching the race?
[03:25] Toudou
    I wanted to see Manami get his revenge.
[03:29] Sakamichi
    He believes in Manami-kun.
[03:32] Sakamichi
    That must be nice.
[03:34] Toudou
    Oh, right. I don't have time to chat.
[03:38] Sakamichi
    You're in a hurry. Sorry for bothering you.
[03:42] Toudou
    See you later, four-eyes!
[03:43] Sakamichi
    Sorry for taking up your time.
[03:45] Sakamichi
    Thank you... for...
[03:49] Sakamichi
    Huh?
[03:50] (Flashback) Toudou
    I'm chasing after a man riding up ahead.
[03:55] Sakamichi
    Toudou-san's chasing someone?
[03:59] Sakamichi
    That's odd.
[04:01] Sakamichi
    He said no one stands a chance
    against him in the mountains.
[04:04] Sakamichi
    But he's riding with that serious expression.
[04:09] Sakamichi
    He's climbing in the middle of the night.
[04:11] Sakamichi
    Chasing someone.
[04:14] Sakamichi
    Chasing who?
[04:16] Sakamichi
    What is this?
[04:17] Sakamichi
    My heart rate suddenly increased.
[04:20] Sakamichi
    It's pounding so loudly.
[04:24] Sakamichi
    Wait for me, Toudou-san!
[04:33] Toudou
    Four-eyes!
[04:34] Toudou
    He's fast!
[04:36] Toudou
    He kept up with my acceleration on a climb!
[04:39] Toudou
    Are you sure, four-eyes?
    You've got a race tomorrow.
[04:42] Toudou
    Should you be using up your energy here?
[04:44] Sakamichi
    Tell me!
[04:45] Sakamichi
    Who are you chasing right now, Toudou-san?
[04:53] Toudou
    A willful man.
[04:56] Toudou
    He went to England alone
    without consulting anyone.
[04:58] Toudou
    I hadn't heard from him,
[05:00] Toudou
    but then he suddenly called to say he'd
    be waiting for me on Mount Haruna.
[05:05] Toudou
    Funny, right?
[05:07] Toudou
    After hearing that, I hastily jumped on
    a bike, and now I'm chasing after him.
[05:12] Toudou
    I wanted to push myself to the limit again.
[05:17] Toudou
    Who am I chasing?
[05:19] Toudou
    You should see for yourself.
[05:21] Toudou
    After the turn up ahead,
    it's a long straightaway.
[05:25] Toudou
    You'll see him illuminated
    by the streetlights then.
[05:29] Toudou
    His long limbs and hair
    waving back and forth...
[05:33] Toudou
    Climbing with that unique form...
[05:35] Toudou
    That spider-like man!
[05:41] Makishima
    The glow of the streetlights
    and the sound of wheels...
[05:45] Makishima
    How long are you going
    to make me wait, Toudou?
[05:50] Makishima
    What's Sakamichi doing with you?
[05:52] Sakamichi
    My heart is pounding.
[05:56] Sakamichi
    Makishima-san!
[06:00] (Flashback) Makishima
    We're counting on you to
    carry our Sohoku, Sakamichi.
[06:04] Sakamichi
    My heart's going to burst.
[06:07] Sakamichi
    Is what I'm seeing now an illusion?
[06:12] Sakamichi
    Is it real?
[06:15] Sakamichi
    You're right.
[06:16] Sakamichi
    I could search the whole world over,
[06:19] Sakamichi
    but you're the only one I'd
    find who rides with that form.
[06:22] Sakamichi
    Makishima-san!
[06:31] Sakamichi
    Toudou-san's Sleeping Climb!
[06:33] Toudou
    Sorry, four-eyes!
[06:35] Toudou
    From here on out, it's a
    race between me and him!
[06:38] Toudou
    I'm going on ahead!
[06:39] Sakamichi
    O-Okay...
[06:42] Sakamichi
    He's right.
[06:43] Sakamichi
    They're here because Makishima-san
    called Toudou-san.
[06:48] Sakamichi
    I can't interfere.
[06:53] Sakamichi
    Toudou-san!
[06:54] Sakamichi
    I-I hate to bother you but, um...
[06:59] Sakamichi
    Could I keep riding with you?
[07:04] Toudou
    This is our race.
[07:07] Toudou
    However...
[07:09] Toudou
    Very well. History needs witnesses.
[07:14] Toudou
    You won't have time to blink, four-eyes!
[07:17] Sakamichi
    Got it!
[07:20] Sakamichi
    Toudou-san and Makishima-san
    are neck and neck!
[07:22] Sakamichi
    They're fast!
[07:24] Toudou
    Maki-chan...
[07:26] Toudou
    Maki-chan!
[07:29] Sakamichi
    That's right. Toudou-san hasn't seen
    Makishima-san in a while, either.
[07:37] Toudou
    It's good to see you again, Maki-chan!
[07:39] Makishima
    Yeah, Toudou!
[07:44] Toudou
    Why don't you answer any calls or texts?
[07:47] Makishima
    I'm too lazy.
[07:49] Makishima
    Besides, what am I supposed to write back?
[07:51] Makishima
    I can't think of anything to say.
[07:52] Makishima
    "I'm doing well"?
[07:54] Makishima
    "I miss you"?
[07:56] Makishima
    Wouldn't that be creepy?
[07:59] Toudou
    Your argument astonishes me.
[08:01] Toudou
    But what about the
    sender's feelings, Maki-chan?
[08:04] Toudou
    We're talking about four-eyes.
[08:06] Toudou
    I'm sure he's sent you countless letters.
[08:10] Toudou
    Mountains of letters!
[08:14] Makishima
    That's why I'm here!
[08:21] Makishima
    Are you disappointed, Toudou?
[08:22] Toudou
    No! I'm totally satisfied, Maki-chan!
[08:30] Toudou
    Maki-chan!
[08:37] Toudou
    Maki-chan!
[08:39] Makishima
    Toudou!
[08:40] Makishima
    This feeling, Jinpachi!
[08:42] Toudou
    My heart is telling me to reach the peak!
[08:46] Toudou
    Let's go, Maki-chan!
[08:47] Makishima
    Jinpachi!
[08:52] Toudou
    That skill! That technique!
[08:54] Toudou
    You haven't changed at all
    since a year ago, Maki-chan!
[08:57] Makishima
    Not that I care, but what's
    up with that jersey?
[09:00] Makishima
    Talk about lame!
[09:02] Toudou
    It's your fault for suddenly calling!
[09:04] Toudou
    I had to borrow this bike and jersey!
[09:08] Toudou
    However...
[09:09] Toudou
    I don't care if it's lame!
[09:11] Toudou
    I get to battle you, Maki-chan!
[09:14] Makishima
    How can you shout such
    embarrassing things, Jinpachi?
[09:31] Makishima
    What's wrong, Jinpachi? Is that all?
[09:33] Makishima
    Have your skills dulled in the past year?
[09:35] Toudou
    No!
[09:36] Toudou
    They've gotten sharper!
[09:40] Toudou
    The turn's ending!
[09:41] Toudou
    I won't let you take the peak, Maki-chan!
[09:44] Makishima
    I'll stop you, Jinpachi!
[09:47] Sakamichi
    Amazing...
[09:48] Sakamichi
    I could only describe this as amazing.
[09:51] Sakamichi
    My hands are shaking. My heart is on fire.
[09:54] Sakamichi
    Neither one's giving any ground.
[09:58] Sakamichi
    It's not even a race, but they're fighting
    all out on this small, nameless pass.
[10:04] Sakamichi
    Last year's Inter-High must
    have been this amazing.
[10:09] Sakamichi
    I'm on fire.
[10:11] Sakamichi
    What is this urge in my heart?
[10:13] Sakamichi
    This situation should be tough for them.
[10:18] Sakamichi
    But they're enjoying themselves!
[10:21] Sakamichi
    You can fight like this?
    You can ride like this?
SIGN    100 Meters to Lookout Point
[10:25] Sakamichi
    I want to see more!
[10:27] Sakamichi
    I want to see more, but...
[10:30] Sakamichi
    We're already at the peak.
SIGN    Downhill Ahead
[10:36] Sakamichi
    We're entering the downhill.
[10:42] Sakamichi
    It's over. I wanted to see more.
[10:48] Sakamichi
    U-Um, I don't know what to say.
[10:53] Sakamichi
    That race was amazing.
[10:55] Sakamichi
    It really seemed like you finished
    at the same time, though.
[10:59] Sakamichi
    Uh...
[11:02] Sakamichi
    They're right. It was too short.
[11:07] Sakamichi
    I'm glad I got to see their amazing race,
    but I'm sure their feelings run deeper.
[11:15] Sakamichi
    They called it a race.
[11:29] Sakamichi
    But are they going to keep riding down?
[11:33] Toudou
    Did you hear what four-eyes said, Maki-chan?
[11:37] Makishima
    Yeah. He said we tied.
[11:39] Toudou
    He witnessed this race.
[11:42] Toudou
    He said we tied.
[11:45] Toudou
    That's not good.
[11:46] Makishima
    No, it's not.
[11:48] Sakamichi
    Huh?
[11:49] Toudou
    It can't be helped.
[11:51] Makishima
    Yeah, can't be helped.
[11:53] Makishima
    But it looked to me like you
    slowed your pedaling at the peak.
[11:59] Toudou
    What are you talking about?
[12:01] Toudou
    You're the one who slowed down, Maki-chan!
[12:03] Sakamichi
    What?
[12:03] Makishima
    No other choice, then!
[12:04] Toudou
    In that case...
[12:08] Both
    Time for round two!
[12:12] Sakamichi
    They turned around!
[12:15] Sakamichi
    That's right. A downhill...
[12:22] Sakamichi
    Becomes an uphill if you make a U-turn!
[12:26] Toudou
    Let's go, Maki-chan!
[12:27] Makishima
    Yeah, Jinpachi!
[12:29] Sakamichi
    Round two!
[12:31] Toudou
    This time let's go all out to the peak!
[12:34] Makishima
    I've finished warming up!
[12:36] Makishima
    Now I'm going all out!
[12:38] Makishima
    Try not to fall behind, Jinpachi!
[12:40] Toudou
    Who do you think you're
    talking to, Maki-chan?
[12:42] Sakamichi
    I-I'm not good at U-turns.
[12:45] Sakamichi
    Hurry.
[12:48] Sakamichi
    I need to catch up!
[12:51] Sakamichi
    They really are amazing.
[12:54] Sakamichi
    I'm so happy.
[12:55] Sakamichi
    I get to see them again.
[12:57] Sakamichi
    I get to watch them race!
[13:01] Makishima
    Round three!
[13:04] Toudou
    Round four!
[13:07] Makishima
    Round five!
[13:19] Makishima
    One more!
[13:21] Toudou
    Last one!
[13:24] Sakamichi
    That day on that small pass,
    they climbed six times.
[13:28] Sakamichi
    The first time they tied.
[13:30] Sakamichi
    On the second through
    fifth races, they won two each.
[13:33] Sakamichi
    And the one who ultimately
    conquered the pass was...
SIGN    100 Meters to Lookout Point
[13:41] Sakamichi
    Makishima-san.
[13:44] Sakamichi
    Their race on that small
    pass won't be recorded.
[13:54] Sakamichi
    But it left a huge mark on my heart.
[14:03] Manami
    See? There they are again.
[14:05] Hakogaku
    What? Where?
[14:07] Manami
    One, two...
[14:09] Manami
    There's a third one, too.
[14:11] Manami
    Two of them are moving really fast.
[14:13] Manami
    It's like the third one is chasing them.
[14:17] Hakogaku
    You think they're UFOs?
[14:19] Hakogaku
    They are on top of the mountain.
[14:20] Hakogaku
    Well...
[14:21] Hakogaku
    This upperclassman of ours
    can be kind of strange.
[14:24] Manami
    No.
[14:26] Manami
    Those are bicycle headlights.
[14:28] Both
    Huh?
[14:29] Manami
    You can see them through the trees.
[14:33] Manami
    They're pretty fast.
[14:35] Manami
    Someone's racing.
[14:40] Manami
    It's probably a serious race.
[14:42] Hakogaku
    Can you see them, Ishida?
[14:43] Hakogaku
    I see one that might be it.
[14:46] Hakogaku
    Is that a bike, though?
[14:48] Hakogaku
    He said he saw three.
[14:50] Hakogaku
    Just how good are Manami-san's eyes?
[14:51] Manami
    Oh...
[14:53] Manami
    It's over.
[14:57] Hakogaku
    By the way, Manami-san,
    about tomorrow's schedule...
[15:00] Manami
    That's too bad.
[15:03] Manami
    I was going to go check
    it out if they kept going.
[15:06] Manami
    Right?
[15:07] Hakogaku
    Check it out? Now?
[15:09] Hakogaku
    On a bike?
[15:10] Hakogaku
    "Right?"
[15:11] Hakogaku
    He wanted us to go with him?
[15:12] Both
    Manami-san's ideas are crazy!
[15:14] Manami
    Come to think of it, Toudou-san
    was at the meeting earlier.
[15:19] Manami
    But he left in a hurry when it ended.
[15:22] Hakogaku
    He asked to borrow a bike.
[15:25] Hakogaku
    The guy who lent him his bike is lucky.
[15:29] Hakogaku
    Think something came up?
[15:30] Hakogaku
    Like a friend was in the area?
[15:34] Manami
    In that case, I hope
    Toudou-san got to see him.
[15:40] Sakamichi
    U-Um, excuse me.
[15:42] Sakamichi
    I just got these at the
    bottom of the mountain.
[15:45] Sakamichi
    You must be tired.
[15:46] Sakamichi
    These are for you.
[15:53] Toudou
    Why are you standing so far away, four-eyes?
[15:56] Makishima
    How are we supposed to get them?
[15:57] Sakamichi
    Right!
[15:59] Sakamichi
    Um, you're just so awe-inspiring!
[16:01] Sakamichi
    It's difficult to approach you.
[16:03] Sakamichi
    After a battle like that,
    I thought I'd be bothering you.
[16:07] Sakamichi
    Um...
[16:09] Sakamichi
    It's been so long since I've seen
    or talked to you, Makishima-san.
[16:15] Sakamichi
    I'm nervous.
[16:19] Makishima
    I'm not that big a deal.
[16:22] Makishima
    I'm just your senior who came
    to Japan to watch the Inter-High
[16:25] Makishima
    and happened to be wandering
    around a nameless pass.
[16:30] Sakamichi
    You're Makishima-san.
[16:33] Sakamichi
    You're kind, reliable, and strong.
[16:37] Sakamichi
    That's the Makishima-san I know.
[16:40] Sakamichi
    I'm glad you haven't changed.
[16:44] Makishima
    You're idealizing me too much.
[16:47] Makishima
    You can call me scary.
[16:49] Sakamichi
    While chasing behind you earlier, I kept
    wishing to never wake up, if this were a dream.
[16:57] Sakamichi
    The situation was so incredible,
    I thought I must be dreaming.
[17:02] Makishima
    Is it a dream or not?
[17:05] Sakamichi
    Thank you for letting me ride with you!
[17:17] Toudou
    Thanks, four-eyes.
[17:24] Makishima
    They're cold.
[17:27] Sakamichi
    Yes, sir!
[17:28] Makishima
    Stop shouting.
[17:39] Makishima
    Well, I'm heading back.
[17:42] Makishima
    Kinjou and Tadokoro are waiting.
[17:46] Makishima
    I forced Kinjou to lend me this.
[17:52] Makishima
    See you later, Toudou.
[17:55] Toudou
    Yeah.
[17:57] Sakamichi
    Um, I...
[18:00] Makishima
    Thanks for the letters, Sakamichi.
[18:06] Makishima
    Thanks for telling me about the club,
    the new members, and your practices.
[18:13] Makishima
    I'm relieved to hear about them.
[18:16] Makishima
    But...
[18:18] Makishima
    You don't need to tell me about that
    anime character named Kumotaro.
[18:22] Sakamichi
    Oh, really?
[18:23] Sakamichi
    You seemed very interested in him
    when I gave you that present.
[18:27] Makishima
    No, I wasn't.
[18:31] Makishima
    It's very like you to include that, though.
[18:34] Makishima
    Are you uncertain, Sakamichi?
[18:36] Sakamichi
    Huh?
SIGN    We keep telling each other we'll do our best.   My second Inter-High is coming up.  I'm not sure I'll be able to ride well,  but I'll do my best.
[18:37] Makishima
    Your letter made it sound like you were
    anxious about this year's Inter-High.
[18:43] Makishima
    Being a second-year is hard.
[18:45] Makishima
    Your seniors are giving you orders.
[18:47] Makishima
    Your juniors are relying on you.
[18:49] Makishima
    You have to try harder
    than the previous year.
[18:51] Makishima
    Everyone expects it.
[18:54] Makishima
    It's not like being a first-year,
    who just has to listen to orders.
[18:58] Makishima
    You start to see your surroundings.
[18:59] Makishima
    You restrict yourself by thinking
    you have to do things or be a certain way.
[19:04] Makishima
    I know you.
[19:06] Makishima
    Compared to last year, you must be more
    worried about how it's supposed to be.
[19:12] Makishima
    But don't worry about that stuff.
[19:16] Makishima
    The fundamentals will always be the same.
[19:19] Makishima
    Your style is like your letters.
[19:22] Makishima
    If you want to write
    about anime, write all about it.
[19:25] Makishima
    Stick with it.
[19:27] Makishima
    Anything goes with bicycles.
[19:29] Makishima
    Nothing is cooler than seeing
    your style through to the end!
[19:37] Makishima
    See you later, Sakamichi, Toudou.
[19:40] Sakamichi
    Yes, sir.
[19:41] Toudou
    Yeah, Maki-chan.
[19:45] Makishima
    Come to think of it,
[19:47] Makishima
    I should've told him I was watching
    this afternoon in the mountains.
[19:52] Makishima
    Whatever.
[19:57] Sakamichi
    Thank you, Makishima-san.
[20:01] Sakamichi
    Tomorrow, on the last day, I'll ride all out!
[20:10] Toudou
    I lit a fire inside four-eyes.
[20:12] Toudou
    Maybe I shouldn't have let him ride with us.
[20:17] Toudou
    No, that's not right.
[20:19] Toudou
    You always want to fight your
     rival when he's in top condition.
[20:23] Toudou
    No one wants an opponent
    who's uncertain or depressed.
[20:27] Toudou
    The stronger, the better.
[20:29] Toudou
    Isn't that right, Manami?
[20:32] Hakogaku
    Manami-san, where are you going?
[20:35] Manami
    To brush my teeth, I guess.
[20:38] Hakogaku
    Can we join you?
[20:40] Manami
    What? I can do it myself.
[20:43] Hakogaku
    Kuroda-san told us to keep an eye on him.
[20:45] Hakogaku
    He told us to send him to bed
    early because he's always late.
[20:49] Manami
    Toudou-san...
[20:52] (Flashback) Toudou
    I'm a former member now.
[20:54] (Flashback) Toudou
    I don't intend to give you any advice.
[20:56] (Flashback) Manami
    What? Then why did you ask
    to see me before the meeting?
[21:01] (Flashback) Toudou
    I came to see if your eyes had
    grown dim, since you didn't get
[21:06] (Flashback) Toudou
    to race against four-eyes today.
[21:08] (Flashback) Manami
    Oh, please. They're totally fine.
[21:12] (Flashback) Manami
    If anything, I'm excited, now that
    it'll be happening on the last day.
[21:18] Toudou
    That's a good look.
[21:20] Toudou
    I doubt he'll have any problems.
[21:26] Hakogaku
    Oh, no! The window...
[21:28] Hakogaku
    Manami-san escaped!
[21:32] Manami
    There's an even steeper
    mountain on the third day.
[21:35] Manami
    It's also the last day of the Inter-High.
[21:38] Manami
    In this situation...
[21:39] Manami
    How could I not be excited?
[23:15] Sakamichi
    M-Makishima-san, you haven't changed!
[23:18] Sakamichi
    You're still cool!
[23:20] Makishima
    And you're...
[23:21] Makishima
    ...starting to look like a second-year.
[23:24] Toudou
    Maki-chan, I'm a college student now!
[23:30] Makishima
    You've gotten kind of gaudier.
[23:33] Sakamichi
    Toudou-san, you're cool, too!

[07:41] Fan
    He's embarrassed!
[07:42] Sakamichi
    Please don't set your expectations that high.
[07:44] Imaizumi
    You can't? What's wrong with you?
[07:46] Sakamichi
    I can't, I can't, I can't...
[07:49] Fan
    He fell!
[07:50] Fan
    Look! Sohoku fell!
[07:52] Fan
    He fell before the race started!
[07:54] Imaizumi
    It feels like you do the
    same thing every year.
[07:57] Sakamichi
    S-Sorry.
[07:58] Fan
    The way he gets up is so cute!
[08:00] Imaizumi
    There's no getting through to them.
[08:03] Imaizumi
    Just ignore them.
[08:04] Sakamichi
    What? But I'd feel bad.
[08:14] Teshima
    My heart won't stop pounding.
[08:16] Teshima
    This is crazy. It's my third and final—
[08:19] Teshima
    No...
[08:20] Teshima
    It's because it's my first
    and final Inter-High.
[08:24] Teshima
    I longed to race in the Inter-High.
[08:30] Teshima
    I fought hard, but failed
    to qualify in my second year.
[08:33] Teshima
    Even after becoming captain in my third year,
[08:35] Teshima
    I finally earned an Inter-High number
    tag only after desperately hanging on.
[08:43] Teshima
    My legs and arms are shaking.
[08:46] Teshima
    My heart is so small.
[08:49] Teshima
    The Inter-High is ending.
[08:52] Teshima
    My fate and Sohoku's will be decided today.
[08:58] Teshima
    It's the final day.
[09:01] Teshima
    Everything I've done and built up
    these past three years.
[09:05] Teshima
    The sky's so bright.
[09:07] Teshima
    That sky is connected to today's finish line.
[09:11] Teshima
    The finish line lies beyond it.
[09:12] Teshima
    But...
[09:15] Teshima
    I probably won't be able to finish today.
[09:19] Teshima
    That's fine, though.
[09:22] Teshima
    As long as someone entrusted
    with our jersey makes it...
[09:25] Teshima
    As long as I can see the finish line
    through his eyes, it's fine.
[09:29] Teshima
    Let's go, Teshima Junta.
[09:32] Teshima
    I am an ordinary man.
[09:34] Teshima
    I have no exceptional skill or talent, but...
[09:37] Teshima
    I've worked hard!
[09:40] Teshima
    Along with my five teammates,
[09:44] Teshima
    we'll beat you and Hakone Academy, Shikiba!
[09:52] Teshima
    Ashikiba...
[09:55] Ashikiba
    Jun-chan.
[09:57] Ashikiba
    Bring it on.
[10:00] Teshima
    What?
[10:01] Ashikiba
    Huh?
[10:04] Kuroda
    What's up?
[10:05] Kuroda
    Who are you talking to, Takuto? Fairies?
[10:08] Ashikiba
    I thought Jun-chan said something,
    so I responded to him.
[10:13] Kuroda
    He didn't say anything.
[10:15] Ashikiba
    I see.
[10:16] Teshima
    Shikiba's amazing.
[10:19] Teshima
    His senses are honed.
[10:21] Teshima
    Everyone calls him an airhead,
[10:23] Teshima
    but during a race, that becomes
     an immeasurable power.

    What?!
[17:45] Sakamichi
    I'll definitely catch up.
[17:48] Sakamichi
    Imaizumi-kun!
[17:55] Sakamichi
    Since meeting you and learning about the
    world of bicycle racing, I've changed.
[18:04] Sakamichi
    I'd never played a sport before.
[18:08] Sakamichi
    I met so many people after
    joining the bicycle racing club.
[18:14] Sakamichi
    Kinjou-san taught me how Team Sohoku never
    gives up and always supports each other.
[18:23] (Flashback) Kinjou
    You don't need to try so hard by yourself.
[18:25] (Flashback) Kinjou
    If you fall, I will support you.
[18:30] (Flashback) Kinjou
    But if someone else should fall,
     you must support them.
[18:34] (Flashback) Kinjou
    That is Team Sohoku.
[18:36] (Flashback) Kinjou
    That's how we ride.
[18:40] Sakamichi
    The strong-willed and determined
    Tadokoro-san taught me to ride single-mindedly.
[18:48] (Flashback) Tadokoro
    I am eternally grateful enough to you.
[18:53] (Flashback) Tadokoro
    Onoda...
[18:56] (Flashback) Tadokoro
    Thank you.
[18:58] (Flashback) Tadokoro
    I didn't think I'd get to see those jerseys
     with my own eyes again...
[19:08] (Flashback) Tadokoro
    I'm back!
[19:10] (Flashback) Tadokoro
    Team Sohoku!
[19:13] Sakamichi
    Makishima-san taught me the difficulty,
    fun, and coolness of climbing.
[19:21] (Flashback) Makishima
    I understand...
[19:23] (Flashback) Makishima
    I'm a climber, too.
[19:25] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    What?
[19:27] (Flashback) Makishima
    You just have to ride.
[19:30] (Flashback) Makishima
    On a bicycle, the more you pedal,
     the stronger you'll become.
[19:35] Sakamichi
    Sugimoto-kun, Koga-san,
    Kanzaki-san, and Tachibana-san...
[19:41] Sakamichi
    They're all important members of Team Sohoku.
[19:44] Sakamichi
    No, that's not all.
[19:50] Sakamichi
    Manami-kun and the other
    members of Hakone Academy...
[19:55] Sakamichi
    Midousuji-kun and the rest of Kyoto Fushimi...
[20:00] Sakamichi
    Everyone riding on this course
    right now is so fast and strong,
[20:07] Sakamichi
    but they're all friends I've met
    because I starting cycling.
[20:22] Sakamichi
    So I'll ride as hard as I can!
[20:27] Sakamichi
    Teshima-san wore himself
    down fighting against
[20:30] Sakamichi
    Manami-kun and sent us his
    passionate vibrations.
[20:37] Sakamichi
    Naruko-kun pursued Hakone
    Academy and Kyoto Fushimi,
[20:41] Sakamichi
    and he clung to the lead pack alone
    until we could rejoin him.
[20:48] Sakamichi
    Kaburagi-kun pushed himself so hard in a
    sprint for the first day's first result
[20:54] Sakamichi
    that he collapsed after he finished.
[21:00] Sakamichi
    And when Kaburagi-kun stopped
    pedaling on the second day,
[21:05] Sakamichi
    Aoyagi-san went to get him and
    brought him back to the team.
[21:16] Sakamichi
    For all those people!
[21:18] Sakamichi
    For Team Sohoku, I ride!
[21:31] Sakamichi
