**[00:12] Girl**
Could you take our picture, please?
**[00:13] Girl**
Thank you.
**[00:16] Aya**
Miki, I brought the towels.
**[00:18] Miki**
Thanks.
**[00:19] Aya**
Is there anything else that needs doing?
**[00:21] Miki**
Could you help get the
food supplements ready?
**[00:24] Aya**
Got it.
**[00:25] Teshima**
Let's go, Sohoku!
**[00:27] Teshima**
This is the end. We made it to the final day.
**[00:29] Teshima**
The six of us all made it together!
**[00:33] Teshima**
Naruko!
**[00:34] Naruko**
Yeah!
**[00:35] Teshima**
Imaizumi!
**[00:36] Imaizumi**
Yeah!
**[00:37] Teshima**
Onoda!
**[00:38] Sakamichi**
Yes, sir!
**[00:39] Teshima**
Kaburagi!
**[00:40] Kaburagi**
Yes, sir!
**[00:41] Teshima**
And Aoyagi!
**[00:44] Teshima**
Do you believe in miracles?
**[00:47] Aya**
They've been through a lot.
**[00:49] Miki**
Yeah.
**[00:51] Miki**
On the first day, shortly after
Hakone Academy passed the sprint line,
**[00:56] Miki**
Onoda-kun got separated from the
team and swallowed up by the pack.
**[01:00] Miki**
Teshima-san had to fight
for the team on the climb.
**[01:05] Miki**
He lost that battle, but it
raised the team's morale.
**[01:10] Miki**
Naruko-kun participated in the
sprint for the finish line.
**[01:13] Miki**
But Hakone Academy won again.
**[01:17] Miki**
In the end, Hakone Academy
took the first result,
**[01:21] Miki**
the mountain result, and won the first day,
**[01:25] Miki**
earning them all three colored number tags.
**[01:29] Miki**
On the second day, Kaburagi-kun fell
behind as soon as the race started,
**[01:33] Miki**
and Aoyagi-san went to help him.
**[01:37] Miki**
During that time, Hakone Academy
won the sprint again.
**[01:43] Miki**
Kaburagi-kun and Aoyagi-san finally caught up
**[01:45] Miki**
so they could participate
in the finish line sprint.
**[01:49] Miki**
On the second day, it was
Midousuji-kun of Kyoto Fushimi
**[01:52] Miki**
who crossed the finish line first.
**[01:56] Miki**
After the second day,
Sohoku still hasn't won anything.
**[01:59] Miki**
They haven't won a single
colored number tag.
**[02:02] Miki**
But...
**[02:04] Aya**
But there's still today, the third day.
**[02:07] Aya**
Whichever team crosses the
finish line first today...
**[02:10] Miki**
...will become Inter-High champions
and this year's overall winners.
**[02:14] Teshima**
Today's our last chance to set off
everything we've built up.
**[02:21] Teshima**
Even if we give everything we've got
and collapse at the finish line,
**[02:24] Teshima**
our faith in miracles will take us there.
**[02:26] Teshima**
We'll keep our faith alive.
**[02:28] Teshima**
If one of us ends up in a race of
centimeters before the final finish line...
**[02:34] Teshima**
That faith will push him across it!
**[02:37] Aoyagi**
Junta!
**[02:39] Kaburagi**
Teshima-san!
**[02:41] Naruko**
Of course.
**[02:43] Sakamichi**
Teshima-san!
**[02:46] Teshima**
Let's go, Sohoku! This is our final race!
**[02:50] All**
Yeah!

The third and final day of the Inter-High
Road Race will start in ten minutes!
**[04:30] Fan A**
It's finally time.
**[04:31] Fan B**
Yeah. Check it out. Everyone's so hyped up.
**[04:34] Fan C**
Chiba! Sohoku!
**[04:36] Fan A**
They haven't had the best
showing through yesterday,
**[04:38] Fan A**
but they're last year's champions.
**[04:40] Fan A**
They won't end like this.
**[04:42] Fan B**
Yeah, you're right.
**[04:46] Fan A**
They're here. It's the
champions, Hakone Academy.
**[04:51] Fan B**
Man, they're so dignified.
**[04:53] Fan B**
Huh? Five? One of them's missing.
**[04:56] Fan C**
Speaking of missing, there's a team missing.
**[04:59] Fan C**
Yesterday's winners,
**[05:00] Fan C**
Kyoto Fushimi.
**[05:02] Fan A**
No, they're here.
**[05:03] Fan B**
But look...
**[05:10] Midousuji**
There's no reason to act so surprised.
**[05:14] Midousuji**
We just shed a little weight.
**[05:17] Fan B**
They all shaved their heads?
**[05:19] Midousuji**
Throw it away, throw it away...
**[05:21] Midousuji**
Your useless pride, your useless
celebratory mood, your useless showing off.
**[05:27] Midousuji**
With victory right before our eyes,
**[05:29] Midousuji**
we must throw everything away!
**[05:33] Fan D**
Did Kyoto Fushimi really have
to take it that far, though?
**[05:38] Midousuji**
We'll be taking it again today.
**[05:41] Midousuji**
Right, Yamaguchi-kun?
**[05:45] Yamaguchi**
I know.
**[05:52] Sakamichi**
The third and final day of
the Inter-High is starting.
**[06:02] Fan A**
The Inter-High uses special rules.
**[06:04] Fan A**
They're doing a staggered start.
**[06:06] Fan B**
The teams will start one after another
according to the previous day's times.
**[06:14] Manami**
They're starting already?
**[06:16] Manami**
That's not good.
**[06:18] Manami**
I'm totally late.
**[06:21] Class Rep**
Excuse me. Um, excuse me.
**[06:23] Class Rep**
Why are there so many people
at this bicycle race?
**[06:27] Class Rep**
I even stayed at a hotel and changed buses
**[06:29] Class Rep**
so I could watch the start of the last day.
**[06:32] Class Rep**
The course is packed.
**[06:35] Class Rep**
I won't even be able to see Sangaku start.
**[06:38] Manami**
Hey.
**[06:40] Manami**
Morning, class rep.
**[06:43] Class Rep**
Good morning.
**[06:45] Manami**
Did you come to watch the start of the race?
**[06:47] Class Rep**
What's this?!
**[06:48] Class Rep**
What are you doing here, Sangaku?
**[06:51] Manami**
I'm late.
**[06:53] Class Rep**
You're...
**[06:54] Manami**
Is this your first time
watching the start of a race?
**[06:57] Manami**
Isn't the tension crazy?
**[06:58] Class Rep**
Who cares about that? Just go!
**[07:01] Manami**
You're right.
**[07:02] Manami**
Sorry, but could you hold onto this for me?
**[07:06] Class Rep**
What?
**[07:07] Manami**
I've gotta go race in the Inter-High.
**[07:13] Class Rep**
Amazing. In an instant,
Sangaku's face changed
**[07:16] Class Rep**
from his usual sleepy one he always
wears as at school into a fighter's.
**[07:22] Announcer**
Yesterday's fourth place finisher
Ashikiba will be starting next.
**[07:28] Naruko**
You're finally up next, Onoda-kun.
**[07:30] Sakamichi**
Yeah.
**[07:32] Sakamichi**
I'll see you later.
**[07:33] Naruko**
Meet up with hotshot as soon as you can.
**[07:35] Naruko**
He might be cryin' right
now because he's so lonely.
**[07:38] Sakamichi**
I will.
**[07:41] Sakamichi**
Naruko-kun, could you?
**[07:44] Naruko**
You've been infused with my grit!
**[07:46] Sakamichi**
Thanks.
**[07:50] Teshima**
We're counting on you, Onoda.
**[07:51] Sakamichi**
Yes, sir.
**[07:52] Aoyagi**
We'll catch up soon.
**[07:54] Kaburagi**
Onoda-san, you've got this.
**[07:58] Naruko**
Go!
**[07:59] Sakamichi**
Got it.
**[07:59] Announcer**
Mizuta of Kyoto Fushimi and Onoda
of Sohoku are starting now.
**[08:05] Sakamichi**
The third and final day has begun.
**[08:14] Sakamichi**
Manami-kun!
**[08:16] Manami**
I'll see you later on the
course, Sakamichi-kun.
**[08:19] Sakamichi**
Yeah. Did you go to the b-bathroom?
**[08:22] Manami**
No, I overslept.
**[08:24] Sakamichi**
I'll be waiting, Manami-kun.
**[08:26] Sakamichi**
I hope we can race again like last year.
**[08:28] Manami**
I'm looking forward to it.
**[08:31] Manami**
And this year, I'll win.
**[08:37] Doubashi**
Hey. What are you doing, Manami?
**[08:39] Manami**
Sorry.
**[08:42] Kuroda**
Are you at least focused?
**[08:45] Manami**
Yeah, totally.
***SIGN*** Hakone Academy
**[08:48] Announcer**
The second pack will now start in order.
**[08:53] Izumida**
Let's go, Hakone Academy.
**[08:54] Izumida**
This is the final first step we'll
take towards reclaiming our throne!
**[08:59] Teshima**
Let's go, Sohoku.
**[09:01] Naruko**
We can't let Hakone Academy
and hotshot hog the spotlight!
**[09:06] Naruko**
Let's make a splash on the final day, guys!
**[09:11] Kaburagi**
The final day of the Inter-High
is finally starting!
**[09:14] Kaburagi**
It's my time to shine!
**[09:16] Kaburagi**
I'm ready to go anytime! Just say the word!
**[09:19] Aoyagi**
Don't go.
**[09:21] Kaburagi**
Yes, sir!
**[09:23] Kaburagi**
Huh? What?
**[09:25] Kaburagi**
You just told me to go.
**[09:26] Aoyagi**
I said don't go.
**[09:28] Aoyagi**
As in "do not."
**[09:30] Kaburagi**
Oh, *don't* go.
**[09:33] Both**
He's an idiot.
**[09:37] Midousuji**
Morph, morph, morph!
**[09:39] Midousuji**
Morph, morph, morph!
**[09:41] Imaizumi**
The course enters a climb up ahead.
**[09:44] Imaizumi**
The race will be easier for us if
we can meet up during the flats.
**[09:49] Imaizumi**
Get here soon, Onoda.
**[09:59] Imaizumi**
I knew this would happen.
**[10:00] Imaizumi**
That's the order they finished in yesterday.
**[10:05] Ashikiba**
I caught up, Yuuto.
**[10:06] Yuuto**
You're so quick, Ashikiba-san.
**[10:09] Imaizumi**
Third-year ace Ashikiba-san.
**[10:12] Imaizumi**
First-year Shinkai Yuuto.
**[10:14] Imaizumi**
Hakone Academy has two ace-level riders
**[10:16] Imaizumi**
with potential to compete
for the finish line.
**[10:18] Ashikiba**
How do you feel?
**[10:21] Yuuto**
Not bad.
**[10:24] Imaizumi**
Trouble already?
***SIGN*** Yowamushi Pedal
**[10:36] Fan E**
Hakone Academy's on the move!
**[10:39] Imaizumi**
Damn it. Of course they are.
**[10:42] Imaizumi**
Today's the third and final day.
**[10:45] Imaizumi**
The lead pack is the place
closest to the finish line.
**[10:49] Imaizumi**
Hold it right there. You're not
going anywhere, Shinkai.
**[10:51] Yuuto**
Hey, Imaizumi-san.
**[10:54] Yuuto**
I can't let you stop us.
**[10:56] Imaizumi**
He can go even faster?
**[10:58] Yuuto**
We're obviously going to attack.
**[11:00] Yuuto**
We've got an overwhelming
advantage right now.
**[11:03] Imaizumi**
Damn it.
**[11:04] Imaizumi**
Are they trying to put an unrecoverable
gap between us at the start of the race?
**[11:09] Imaizumi**
Come quickly, Onoda!
**[11:17] Sakamichi**
I see him. It's Imaizumi-kun!
**[11:20] Sakamichi**
Ashikiba-san caught up.
**[11:25] (Flashback) Imaizumi**
Ashikiba-san will most likely meet up with
the lead pack as soon as the race starts.
**[11:31] (Flashback) Imaizumi**
If that happens, Hakone Academy
will have two members there.
**[11:34] (Flashback) Imaizumi**
And not just two ordinary riders.
**[11:36] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
Yeah.
**[11:37] (Flashback) Imaizumi**
I'm counting on you, Onoda.
**[11:39] (Flashback) Imaizumi**
If those two make a move,
it'll be bad news for us.
**[11:43] (Flashback) Imaizumi**
I know it'll be hard, but I need you
to catch up to me as soon as possible.
**[11:47] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
Yeah.
**[11:54] (Flashback) Imaizumi**
I wonder what it is.
**[11:56] (Flashback) Imaizumi**
There's something so reassuring
about the way you say "yeah."
**[11:59] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
Huh?
**[12:00] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
Oh, no, I'm not...
**[12:01] (Flashback) Imaizumi**
I have a feeling you'll be smiling
when you tell me you've caught up.
**[12:07] (Flashback) Imaizumi**
Not that it'll be easy.
**[12:10] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
Yeah.
**[12:12] (Flashback) Imaizumi**
But you've overcome
countless walls until now.
**[12:18] (Flashback) Imaizumi**
Honestly, I thought you'd quit the bicycle
racing club after last year's Inter-High.
**[12:26] (Flashback) Imaizumi**
During our first practice
after the Inter-High ended,
**[12:30] (Flashback) Imaizumi**
I asked if you wanted to go together.
**[12:34] (Flashback) Imaizumi**
I was nervous.
**[12:36] (Flashback) Imaizumi**
But you said...
**[12:38] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
Yeah.
**[12:40] (Flashback) Imaizumi**
You were smiling when you said it.
**[12:42] (Flashback) Imaizumi**
I felt so relieved.
**[12:45] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
Imaizumi-kun...
**[12:48] (Flashback) Imaizumi**
Let's go together again, Sakamichi,
**[12:52] (Flashback) Imaizumi**
to the final finish line of the Inter-High.
**[12:55] (Flashback) Imaizumi**
Let's overcome countless walls.
**[12:58] Sakamichi**
Wait for me, Imaizumi-kun.
I'll be there soon.
**[13:06] Mizuta**
Phase 82.
**[13:08] Sakamichi**
Mizuta-san?
**[13:11] Mizuta**
It seems your full attention is
on what's ahead of you, Onoda.
**[13:14] Mizuta**
But I, Mizuta, as captain of the great
Kyoto Fushimi Bicycle Racing Club—
**[13:19] Sakamichi**
Sorry, but I'm in a hurry.
**[13:22] Mizuta**
What? He's gone.
**[13:24] Sakamichi**
I've entered the climb.
**[13:26] Sakamichi**
I can catch up to the lead
pack and Imaizumi-kun.
**[13:31] Mizuta**
You must be joking.
**[13:32] Mizuta**
He disappeared in an instant.
**[13:38] Toji**
How do you think the start will go?
**[13:40] Koga**
Well, it'll depend on whether
or not Onoda catches up.
**[13:45] Toji**
If he can catch up to Imaizumi?
**[13:49] Koga**
No, to the two Hakone Academy
riders ahead of him.
**[13:54] Koga**
If they allow the two of them to get away,
**[13:57] Koga**
today's race might be over for them.
**[14:06] Sakamichi**
I see him.
**[14:07] Sakamichi**
Imaizumi-kun!
**[14:09] Imaizumi**
Onoda!
**[14:11] Midousuji**
Oh? Sakamichi...
**[14:17] Sakamichi**
I caught up, but Hakone Academy isn't here.
**[14:22] Imaizumi**
I know. They're gone.
**[14:25] (Flashback) Yuuto**
Yeah!
**[14:27] (Flashback) Imaizumi**
Damn it!
**[14:28] (Flashback) Yuuto**
We'll be going now.
**[14:29] (Flashback) Yuuto**
Once this climb is over,
there's a long downhill up ahead.
**[14:33] (Flashback) Yuuto**
We'll be racing down at 80 kmph.
**[14:35] Imaizumi**
They knew I'd be waiting for you
**[14:38] Imaizumi**
so I couldn't increase my pace
or cooperate with Midousuji.
**[14:43] Sakamichi**
Sorry. It's because I didn't get here sooner.
**[14:47] Imaizumi**
No, you just barely made it in time.
**[14:50] Imaizumi**
Stick behind me. Don't look at the scenery.
**[14:53] Imaizumi**
Copy my gear, cadence, and how
I shift my weight exactly.
**[14:57] Sakamichi**
What?
**[14:59] Imaizumi**
We can still catch up to them.
**[15:01] Imaizumi**
You caught up at just the
right moment, Sakamichi.
**[15:07] Imaizumi**
Let's hurry. You're about to ride down this
mountain faster than you've ever ridden.
**[15:12] Imaizumi**
One mistake and you'll crash into the
shoulder on this deadly high-speed downhill.
**[15:18] Sakamichi**
Downhill...
**[15:21] Imaizumi**
Prepare yourself.
**[15:23] Imaizumi**
We're about to accelerate to 90 kmph.
**[15:25] Sakamichi**
Ninety...?
**[15:28] Sakamichi**
That's as fast as a car.
**[15:31] Sakamichi**
But we have to catch up to the
Hakone Academy riders ahead of us.
**[15:37] Sakamichi**
Yeah. Let's do it.
**[15:39] Imaizumi**
All right.
**[15:40] Imaizumi**
Let's go.
**[15:42] Midousuji**
Oh?
**[15:45] Sakamichi**
It's so fast. The scenery is flying past us.
**[15:49] Sakamichi**
We're already at the turn.
**[15:52] Sakamichi**
We're leaning so far over.
**[15:54] Sakamichi**
I can feel the centrifugal force.
**[15:55] Sakamichi**
We're turning so quickly,
I feel like I'm going to fall.
**[15:58] Sakamichi**
I've never taken a turn this quickly before.
**[16:00] Sakamichi**
But I'll match Imaizumi-kun's
movements and go!
**[16:08] Sakamichi**
Hard brake!
**[16:11] Sakamichi**
We're nearly into the next corner again.
**[16:12] Sakamichi**
We're cutting it so close. Incredible.
**[16:14] Sakamichi**
It's like we're racing on fast-forward.
**[16:16] Sakamichi**
It's so fast. I'm scared.
**[16:19] Sakamichi**
But I don't feel so scared
**[16:23] Sakamichi**
when I'm looking at Imaizumi-kun's back.
**[16:26] Imaizumi**
Can you go keep going, Sakamichi?
**[16:29] Sakamichi**
Yeah.
**[16:30] Sakamichi**
Your back always feels reassuring,
so I'll be fine.
**[16:35] Imaizumi**
What?
**[16:37] Sakamichi**
It's like it's always telling me, "Come on."
**[16:42] Sakamichi**
It's like it's always...
**[16:46] Sakamichi**
gently pulling me forward.
**[16:49] Imaizumi**
That's not something you
should be saying right now.
**[16:52] Sakamichi**
You're right. Sorry.
**[16:54] Imaizumi**
No, that's not right.
**[16:56] Imaizumi**
If you felt like saying it during a race,
then that's the time to say it.
**[17:00] Sakamichi**
Huh?
**[17:01] Imaizumi**
Road races are similar
to the passage of time.
**[17:04] Imaizumi**
At times they change at dizzying speeds,
and there's no going back.
**[17:08] Imaizumi**
Whatever you're thinking at that
time has to be said in that moment.
**[17:13] Imaizumi**
Thanks for what you said earlier.
**[17:16] Imaizumi**
It's encouraging.
**[17:18] Imaizumi**
Not that I'm particularly gentle or kind.
**[17:22] Sakamichi**
That's not true.
**[17:25] Imaizumi**
Now, then, Hakone Academy are
finally coming into view.
**[17:36] Yuuto**
Man, you gotta be kidding me.
**[17:38] Yuuto**
They closed the gap on the downhill.
**[17:40] Ashikiba**
Not only that, but there are two of them now.
**[17:44] Yuuto**
I know I accelerated to 80 kmph.
**[17:46] Yuuto**
Does that mean Sohoku raced downhill
faster than that? Seriously?
**[17:52] Yuuto**
How many times does the Inter-High
have to tear down a man's pride?
**[17:56] Yuuto**
Then let's accelerate again
and pull ahead of them. Yeah!
**[18:01] Ashikiba**
Don't, Yuuto.
**[18:05] Ashikiba**
It's two against two now.
**[18:07] Ashikiba**
Continuing to race against
them would only exhaust us.
**[18:10] Ashikiba**
We should cruise along for a while
and wait for the rest of the team.
**[18:14] Yuuto**
Roger that.

There are four riders in the lead pack.
**[18:24] Naruko**
Onoda-kun really did it.
**[18:26] Kaburagi**
Take that, Hakone Academy! Bladdy-blah-blah!
**[18:29] Kaburagi**
See how powerful Sohoku is?
**[18:33] Teshima**
I wouldn't do that if I were you, Kaburagi.
**[18:35] Kaburagi**
What? Why not?
**[18:37] Kaburagi**
Road racing is a team sport.
**[18:40] Kaburagi**
It's better to make it clear
who your friends and foes are.
**[18:45] Kaburagi**
How could you talk to the enemy captain when
I just finished saying that, Aoyagi-san?
**[18:51] Kaburagi**
Hey, Aoyagi. Get away from him.
**[18:54] Aoyagi**
We have a deal.
**[18:57] Kaburagi**
What? A deal?
**[19:03] Kaburagi**
Huh?
**[19:04] Kaburagi**
Wait, Teshima-san, that Hakone Academy pig is—
**[19:08] Kuroda**
Excuse us.
**[19:09] Kaburagi**
What?
**[19:10] Izumida**
Abs.
**[19:13] Kaburagi**
What? Naruko-san, you, too?
**[19:15] Manami**
Hey, you must be the energetic
first-year Sakamichi-kun mentioned.
**[19:20] Kaburagi**
Even the late guy?
**[19:22] Kaburagi**
What's going on here?
**[19:24] Teshima**
We're cooperating.
**[19:27] Teshima**
The more cyclists that
ride together, the faster you go.
**[19:32] Teshima**
Four is faster than two,
and eight is faster than four.
**[19:35] Teshima**
The more cyclists you have, the easier,
faster, and farther you can go.
**[19:40] Teshima**
If your interests are aligned,
**[19:41] Teshima**
then you'll even work with
your opponents for an advantage.
**[19:46] Teshima**
That's cooperating.
**[19:48] Teshima**
Onoda and Imaizumi have made
this an evenly-matched race.
**[19:51] Teshima**
In this situation,
**[19:53] Teshima**
both we and Hakone Academy
**[19:54] Teshima**
want to reach the lead pack as quickly
as possible and get our teams together.
**[20:00] Teshima**
You've never experienced this before?
**[20:02] Kaburagi**
No. This is my first time.
**[20:05] Kaburagi**
In other words, until we reach the lead pack,
Hakone Academy are our allies and teammates.
**[20:11] Teshima**
That's right.
**[20:12] Kaburagi**
This is kind of inspiring, isn't it?
**[20:15] Kaburagi**
I'm so excited.
**[20:17] Kaburagi**
I'm Sohoku first-year Kaburagi Issa.
**[20:20] Kaburagi**
I have a pet rhinoceros beetle.
**[20:23] Doubashi**
What are you getting so excited about?
**[20:25] Doubashi**
Did you forget what you
just did to us earlier?
**[20:30] (Flashback) Kaburagi**
Bladdy-blah-blah!
**[20:34] Doubashi**
I'll knock you on your butt, orange!
**[20:37] Kaburagi**
So this is what he meant.
**[20:39] Doubashi**
Get to the front.
**[20:41] Kaburagi**
Yes, sir.
**[20:45] Kaburagi**
I'm so excited.
**[20:47] Kaburagi**
I feel like I'm dreaming.
**[20:50] Kaburagi**
I'm racing as allies with people
who were my opponents.
**[20:53] Kaburagi**
Doubashi-san and the captain,
the late guy, and Izumida-san.
**[20:57] Kaburagi**
I'm so excited.
**[20:59] Kaburagi**
So this is cooperating. Interesting.
**[21:02] Kaburagi**
Bicycles are so interesting and fun.
**[21:05] Kaburagi**
There really is a god after all.
**[21:12] Aoyagi**
We should be good for a while.
**[21:17] Kuroda**
Things are going well so far.
**[21:19] Kuroda**
There aren't likely to
be any obstacles ahead.
**[21:27] Fan E**
It's Kyoto!
**[21:28] Fan F**
The rest of Kyoto Fushimi's here!
**[21:31] Fan G**
Why aren't they working with
Hakone Academy and Sohoku?
**[21:34] Fan G**
They're clearly going slower.
**[21:36] Fan E**
And the two guys riding ahead haven't met up.
**[21:39] Fan F**
Did they make a strategic error?
**[21:42] Funatsu**
Yamaguchi-san, at this rate,
they'll get away from us.
**[21:46] Funatsu**
You and I are sprinters,
but they've got numbers.
**[21:52] Funatsu**
Komari fought during yesterday's sprint,
**[21:56] Funatsu**
but I don't know if he's a sprinter or what,
**[21:59] Funatsu**
and he won't answer my questions.
**[22:01] Komari**
What? Did you say something, Funatsu-san?
**[22:05] Funatsu**
I said I don't know if
you're a sprinter or what.
**[22:10] Komari**
Oh.
**[22:12] Funatsu**
He's still not going to tell me?
**[22:16] Funatsu**
Yamaguchi-san, are things really
going according to plan?
**[22:20] Funatsu**
We haven't been abandoned, have we?
**[22:23] Funatsu**
By Midousuji-kun.
**[22:27] Funatsu**
His reactions are always so muted.
**[22:30] Funatsu**
He's as stoic as a soldier.
**[22:32] Funatsu**
Girls definitely like me more than him.
**[22:34] Funatsu**
He has, hasn't he?
**[22:35] Funatsu**
He even made us shave our heads.
**[22:37] Funatsu**
Nobody's told me anything.
**[22:39] Funatsu**
He's always doing stuff I've never heard of.
**[22:41] Funatsu**
I've never heard of a team shaving
their heads after winning.
**[22:44] Funatsu**
Normally you'd celebrate together.
**[22:46] Funatsu**
I can never tell what he's thinking.
**[22:51] Funatsu**
I was really trying to grow my hair out.
**[22:55] Yamaguchi**
Did you say everything you wanted to say?
**[23:00] Yamaguchi**
If you have, then ride in silence.
**[23:03] Yamaguchi**
Keep this pace.
**[23:04] Funatsu**
Huh?
**[23:06] Yamaguchi**
The next phase has already begun.
**[23:09] Funatsu**
What?
**[23:10] Yamaguchi**
I promise I'll complete this phase.
**[23:14] Yamaguchi**
That's what you want,
**[23:16] Yamaguchi**
right, Midousuji?

**[00:10] Midousuji**
So, what did you want to discuss, uh...
**[00:15] Yamaguchi**
His name is Ise.
**[00:16] Yamaguchi**
He's a third-year at Kumamoto Daiichi.
**[00:18] Midousuji**
Kumamoto? Ise-kun?
**[00:21] Midousuji**
Oh, the guy we used yesterday.
**[00:28] (Flashback) Ise**
We finally caught up to the front.
**[00:32] (Flashback) Midousuji**
Now, Zakus!
**[00:41] Ise**
That's right. Because of you,
our team was scattered.
**[00:46] Ise**
Our only option was to get swallowed by
the pack and cross the finish line that way.
**[00:48] Midousuji**
Don't tell me you came to complain.
**[00:51] Midousuji**
That was a race.
**[00:53] Midousuji**
If you're going to resent anyone, then resent
yourselves for not predicting
**[00:56] Midousuji**
what would happen and being
too weak to keep up.
**[00:59] Yamaguchi**
Midousuji, you shouldn't say that.
**[01:01] Ise**
You're right.
**[01:02] Yamaguchi**
What?
**[01:03] Ise**
It was all our—no, my fault.
**[01:08] Ise**
Despite being responsible for leading
Kyushu's great Kumamoto Daiichi team,
**[01:12] Ise**
at this rate, I'm heading for a
disappointing finish two years in a row.
**[01:17] Ise**
I can't allow that to happen, so...
**[01:22] Ise**
Please.
**[01:24] Midousuji**
Oh?
**[01:25] Ise**
Midousuji, you're a strategist.
**[01:28] Ise**
You took advantage of the confusion
to win the race yesterday.
**[01:34] Ise**
You must have some method we can
use to turn our situation around.
**[01:37] Midousuji**
A method? Method?
**[01:41] Midousuji**
Method?
**[01:45] Midousuji**
Come up with one yourself.
**[01:49] Midousuji**
Didn't I tell you?
**[01:50] Midousuji**
This is a race. I'm not obligated
to tell you anything.
**[01:56] Midousuji**
That's what I'd like to say, but...
**[02:00] Midousuji**
Fine, then. It seems like I apparently
owe you guys something,
**[02:06] Midousuji**
so I don't mind showing you a method
that'll turn your situation around.
**[02:12] Midousuji**
But I have one condition.
**[02:17] Ise**
A condition?

Yeah. Honestly, it'll probably impossible

The whole pack's gonna come together,
cooperate, and chase after the front!
**[04:50] Rider A**
The front?
**[04:51] Rider B**
As in the lead pack?
**[04:52] Ise**
That's right! Today's the last day!
We've got nothing to lose!
**[04:57] Ise**
Give everything you've got!
**[04:59] Ise**
Let's work together to reach the lead pack!
**[05:01] Ise**
Fukuoka Jousei!
**[05:03] Ise**
Yamaguchi teams Yamagiwa and Okutani!
**[05:07] Ise**
Niigata teams Joetsu Higashi and Yaguramaru!
**[05:09] Ise**
Local Tochigi teams Utsunomiya Chuo,
**[05:13] Ise**
Tosaumi High School, and Shimizu!
**[05:15] Ise**
None of you want it to end like this, do you?
**[05:17] Ise**
This is your last Inter-High!
**[05:20] Ise**
Shouldn't we show them
how strong we really are?
**[05:24] Utsunomiya Chuo A**
The lead pack? Can we really do that?
**[05:27] Utsunomiya Chuo B**
But it's true that we've got nothing to lose.
**[05:31] Rider D**
We might be able to do
it with this many guys.
**[05:34] Rider D**
Yeah, with a pack this large...
**[05:36] Rider F**
To the front!
**[05:37] Rider G**
To the front!
**[05:39] Utsunomiya Chuo A**
Let's do this.
**[05:40] Utsunomiya Chuo B**
We'll show them what we can do.
**[05:42] Ise**
All right! That's the spirit!
**[05:44] Ise**
Now, let's accelerate!
**[05:46] All**
Yeah!
**[05:49] Kaburagi**
Man, this feels awesome.
**[05:53] Kaburagi**
You just wait, Onoda-san, Imaizumi-san.
**[05:57] Kaburagi**
This Coordinated Kaburagi Superexpress
will catch up in no time.
**[06:04] Doubashi**
What are you calling the
Kaburagi Superexpress, orange?
**[06:08] Doubashi**
It's not your place to name us.
**[06:11] Kaburagi**
Don't sweat the small stuff, Doubashi-kun.
**[06:14] Doubashi**
That's Doubashi-san to you!
**[06:16] Fan A**
They're so fast!
**[06:17] Fan B**
Last year's winners Sohoku and champions
Hakone Academy are cooperating!
**[06:21] Fan C**
What an incredible sight!
**[06:24] Izumida**
Yuki, what do you think the
riders behind us will do?
**[06:28] Izumida**
Huge packs are likely
to form on the last day.
**[06:31] Izumida**
If they work together to chase after us...
**[06:37] Kuroda**
You worry too much, Touichiro.
**[06:40] Izumida**
It caused a lot of chaos last year.
**[06:49] Kawahara**
Are you listening, Bunya and Ishimaru?
**[06:51] Both**
Yes, sir.
**[06:52] Kawahara**
Our team is currently in fourth place behind
**[06:55] Kawahara**
Hakone Academy, Sohoku, and Kyoto Fushimi.
**[06:57] Ineshiro**
Yes, sir.
**[06:58] Kawahara**
We had to stop pedaling in the
mountains on the first day,
**[07:01] Kawahara**
but yesterday, we put our legs
to good use on Mt. Haruna
**[07:04] Kawahara**
and finished in a decent position.
**[07:06] Kawahara**
The front is still within our grasp.
**[07:08] Both**
Gunpei-san!
**[07:10] Kawahara**
Let's go. It's the final day.
**[07:12] Kawahara**
We'll show them how strong
Yamagata Mogami really is.
**[07:15] Both**
Yes, sir!
**[07:20] Ineshiro**
Huh?
**[07:21] Ishimaru**
This sound...
**[07:22] Ishimaru**
It's the pack.
**[07:23] Ineshiro**
You're kidding.
How'd they get here so quickly?
**[07:29] (Flashback) Ise**
A condition?
**[07:31] (Flashback) Midousuji**
You'll be piranhas.
**[07:33] (Flashback) Ise**
What?
**[07:35] (Flashback) Midousuji**
They're fish that live in the Amazon
and have lots of sharp, little teeth.
**[07:40] (Flashback) Ise**
Uh, okay...
**[07:42] (Flashback) Midousuji**
But even piranhas are
puny little small fry.
**[07:46] (Flashback) Midousuji**
No matter how sharp their teeth are,
a single one can easily be swatted away.
**[07:52] (Flashback) Midousuji**
But what about two? Or three? Four? Five?
**[07:59] (Flashback) Midousuji**
What about ten, twenty, fifty?
**[08:07] Kawahara**
If we get swallowed up by this pack...
**[08:09] (Flashback) Midousuji**
Each individual fish is no serious threat.
**[08:12] (Flashback) Midousuji**
But piranhas are terrifying in large groups.
**[08:17] Ise**
Get him!
**[08:24] Rider D**
All right. Got another one.
**[08:27] Rider E**
We've got this.
**[08:28] Rider F**
If we keep this up, we can do it.
**[08:29] Rider G**
To the front!
**[08:31] Ise**
Faster. Let's go even faster.
**[08:34] All**
Yeah!
**[08:39] Niwazuma**
They're cooperating, huh?
**[08:41] Niwazuma**
That's our strongest strategy.
**[08:47] Niwazuma**
The more people there are in
a pack, the faster it goes.
**[08:50] Niwazuma**
But on the other hand, it also
becomes more difficult to control.
**[08:55] Niwazuma**
The leader of a pack needs charisma
to unite those around him.
**[09:00] Urakubo**
That's right.
**[09:02] Niwazuma**
But even if you know that, it's no easy task.
**[09:05] Niwazuma**
Like with Machimiya-san last year,
**[09:07] Niwazuma**
the pack needs strength
and hope to reach the front.
**[09:12] Urakubo**
Sorry, Niwazuma.
**[09:14] Niwazuma**
Enough already, Urakubo.
**[09:17] Urakubo**
I brought you down with me
when I fell yesterday.
**[09:22] Urakubo**

**[09:40] Niwazuma**

**[09:42] Niwazuma**

you must be more frustrated.
**[09:47] Urakubo**
Nah, I just wanted you to
see me take down a big one.
**[09:54] Niwazuma**
Urakubo...
**[10:00] Kaburagi**
What's wrong, Aoyagi-san?
**[10:02] Kaburagi**
Did you drop something?
**[10:05] Kaburagi**
You gotta keep your supplements safe
and secure in your back pocket.
**[10:09] Kaburagi**
Oh, are you worried about the pack?
**[10:13] Kaburagi**
It's all right. We're more than
ten minutes ahead of them.
**[10:18] Kaburagi**
Not even a pack can close that gap.
**[10:26] Manami**
The wind has changed.
**[10:28] Kaburagi**
Don't worry.
**[10:30] Kaburagi**
Nothing's going to happen.
**[10:32] Kaburagi**
After all, the Cooperative
Kaburagi Superexpress...
**[10:36] Kaburagi**
is so fun and fast!
**[10:38] Kaburagi**
What's better than that?
**[10:41] Kabruagi**
We'll catch up to the lead pack in
no time and meet up with our teams.
**[10:45] Kaburagi**
Look, I see two of them now.
**[10:52] Kaburagi**
Two guys are no match for our Superexpress.
**[10:55] Kaburagi**
Let's pass them right quick.
**[11:00] Kaburagi**
And they worked so hard yesterday, too.
**[11:02] Kaburagi**
They probably worked too hard.
**[11:03] Kaburagi**
They couldn't keep up, so Kyoto
Fushimi fell back from the lead pack.
**[11:11] Naruko**
Midousuji!
**[11:13] Izumida**
That's the second day's winner, Midousuji!
**[11:17] Kaburagi**
Since we're passing these two,
the lead pack must be just ahead.
**[11:21] Kaburagi**
Whoa there, Kyoto Fushimi.
**[11:23] Kaburagi**
You want to cooperate? Non, non.
**[11:25] Kaburagi**
You're not getting on this train.
**[11:28] Kaburagi**
You can join us later, if you can.
**[11:37] Teshima**
Naruko!
**[11:40] Kaburagi**
Huh? Naruko-san?
**[11:41] Izumida**
Naruko?
**[11:43] Naruko**
Hey, seaweed head!
**[11:45] Izumida**
Yikes. Sohoku?
**[11:46] Naruko**
Seriously?
**[11:48] Naruko**
Did you fall behind for real?
**[11:51] Midousuji**
Naruko, are you sure you
should be leaving your line?
**[11:56] Midousuji**
Your train will leave without you.
**[11:59] Naruko**
It's just for a second.
**[12:01] Naruko**
I'll head back as soon as
I'm done talkin' to you.
**[12:03] Naruko**
Were you unable to keep up?
**[12:05] Naruko**
Are your legs exhausted from yesterday?
**[12:09] Midousuji**
What, are you worried about little old me?
**[12:16] Naruko**
Yeah, that's why I'm askin'!
**[12:19] Naruko**
Races are no fun if your
opponents aren't strong.
**[12:21] Naruko**
Winnin' a race because your opponent was
sick or his legs were in poor shape is lame.
**[12:28] Naruko**
On the first day, you and I tied for second.
**[12:31] Naruko**
Yesterday, you pulled off a crazy
strategy and claimed first place.
**[12:36] Naruko**
I was super pissed when I heard about that,
**[12:39] Naruko**
but after that, I thought
you were amazing, honestly.
**[12:44] Kaburagi**
Naruko-san, just leave him. Let's go.
**[12:48] Naruko**
If this is a strategy of yours,
then bring it on.
**[12:51] Naruko**
But if you've really fallen behind
because you don't have the strength,
**[12:54] Naruko**
and your race ends here, then...
**[12:58] Midousuji**
Then?
**[12:59] Naruko**
Then I'll roll you up in a takoyaki
and swallow you whole.
**[13:03] Naruko**
Last winter, I lost to you.
**[13:07] Naruko**
I lost, I cried, and I quit being a sprinter.
**[13:11] Naruko**
Until now, I've trained with the intention
of beating you and reclaiming that.
**[13:17] Naruko**
But if that's all gonna end like this,
**[13:20] Naruko**
I won't be able to sleep at night.
**[13:23] Midousuji**
Winners should be able to sleep well,
drunk on their own victory.
**[13:33] Naruko**
Don't dodge the question, Midousuji.
**[13:35] Teshima**
Naruko, come back up.
We can't wait any longer.
**[13:39] Naruko**
Damn it. See you later, seaweed head.
**[13:43] Midousuji**
See you later, chicken-headed bean.
**[13:48] Mizuta**
What was that about?
**[13:51] Mizuta**
He must be out of his mind
**[13:53] Mizuta**
to leave the line in the middle of
a race just to talk to an opponent.
**[14:00] Mizuta**
I think that's the first time someone's
worried about you, Midousuji-kun.
**[14:05] Mizuta**
He really meant it.
**[14:08] Midousuji**
Chicken-headed bean...
**[14:11] Midousuji**
It's true that I'll fall behind here, but...
**[14:23] Midousuji**

around before you know it.

I-I'd like to ask you to reconsider, too.
**[15:09] Funatsu**
*Yamaguchi-san?*
**[15:10] Mizuta**
*How unusual.*
**[15:12] (Flashback) Yamaguchi**
I think shaving our heads is a step too far.
**[15:17] (Flashback) Yamaguchi**
You've made your point.
**[15:19] (Flashback) Yamaguchi**
The team is ready for tomorrow.
**[15:21] (Flashback) Midousuji**
Oh, yeah? You're ready?
**[15:25] (Flashback) Midousuji**
Then why don't we cut our hair right now?
**[15:27] (Flashback) Yamaguchi**
What?
**[15:28] (Flashback) Midousuji**
You can, can't you?
**[15:30] (Flashback) Midousuji**
If you're really so mentally
prepared for tomorrow,
**[15:34] (Flashback) Midousuji**
then cutting your hair should be no big deal!
**[15:38] (Flashback) Midousuji**
You've gotta throw away all
meaningless vanity and adornments.
**[15:44] (Flashback) Funatsu**
Damn it. Why do we have to
cut our hair after we *won?*
**[15:49] (Flashback) Mizuta**
Wait. Take one last picture
before you cut it.
**[15:51] (Flashback) First Year A**
Okay.
**[15:53] (Flashback) First Year B**
Are you sure, Yamaguchi-san?
**[15:55] (Flashback) Yamaguchi**
Huh? Yeah.
**[16:00] Yamaguchi**
*Sorry, Ishigaki-san.*
**[16:03] Yamaguchi**
*I failed to become Midousuji's conscience.*
**[16:07] Yamaguchi**
*He's not someone I can handle.*
**[16:11] Yamaguchi**
* I don't mind being in the*
* background after all.*
**[16:13] Yamaguchi**
*I'm not meant to fight on the front lines.*
**[16:20] Yamaguchi**
*Kishigami...*
**[16:22] Yamaguchi**
*Is he really letting them cut his hair?*
**[16:26] Yamaguchi**
* Guys like him who have something*
* exceptional aren't even shaken by it.*
**[16:31] Yamaguchi**
* I certainly do feel like I've*
* got nothing left to throw away.*
**[16:36] (Flashback) Midousuji**
Yamaguchi-kun?
**[16:37] (Flashback) Yamaguchi**
Midousuji-kun.
**[16:40] (Flashback) Midousuji**
Tomorrow is the last day.
**[16:42] (Flashback) Midousuji**
We won today.
**[16:44] (Flashback) Yamaguchi**
Y-Yeah, thanks to your efforts.
**[16:48] (Flashback) Midousuji**
Today was such a nice day, wasn't it?
**[16:52] Yamaguchi**
*Does he want me to compliment him?*
**[16:55] (Flashback) Midousuji**
But that's in the past now.
**[16:59] (Flashback) Midousuji**
We'll advance. Forward, forward, forward.
**[17:05] (Flashback) Midousuji**
I came to talk to you about tomorrow.
**[17:08] (Flashback) Midousuji**
I thought I'd have you
perform an important job.
**[17:13] Yamaguchi**
*An important job?*
**[17:16] (Flashback) Midousuji**
I'm only going to tell you about this phase.
**[17:22] Funatsu**
Yamaguchi-san, the pack's right behind us.
**[17:28] Yamaguchi**
Funatsu Kazuho, Kishigami Komari.
**[17:32] Yamaguchi**
It's time for phase number 99.
**[17:34] Yamaguchi**
The rest of the Kyoto Fushimi team
is going to keep cruising along.
**[17:39] Funatsu**
Cruise along?
**[17:41] Yamaguchi**
Entrust your fates to me.
**[17:56] Funatsu**
Phase, my ass. Fate, my ass.
**[17:59] Funatsu**
We haven't accomplished anything!
**[18:02] Funatsu**
We shaved our heads for nothing!
**[18:04] Urakubo**
It takes a big one.
**[18:06] Niwazuma**
What?
**[18:07] Urakubo**
Chasing after the front requires a leader.
**[18:10] Urakubo**
One who never breaks,
no matter the circumstances.
**[18:12] Urakubo**
A big one with an unyielding will.
**[18:16] Niwazuma**
What would happen if that
pack got a leader like that?
**[18:21] Urakubo**
Then they just might
catch up to the lead pack.
**[18:26] Yamaguchi**
Funatsu, raise your head.
**[18:27] Funatsu**
Huh?
**[18:28] Yamaguchi**
It's not over yet.
**[18:30] Yamaguchi**
No, our phase begins now.
**[18:34] Yamaguchi**
Ise.
**[18:35] Ise**
You came, Yamaguchi.
**[18:37] Yamaguchi**
Yeah. We're piranhas now, too.
**[18:41] Yamaguchi**
Let's go after the front together.
**[18:42] Ise**
Yeah.
**[18:43] Rider N**
"You came?" What's that mean?
**[18:45] Rider O**
Didn't we swallow them up?
**[18:48] Rider P**
No, that's not how it felt.
**[18:50] Rider N**
Were they waiting for us to catch up?
**[18:54] Yamaguchi**
Listen up. Starting now,
I'm taking command of this pack.
**[18:58] Yamaguchi**
Me, Yamaguchi Noriyuki of Kyoto Fushimi.
**[19:01] Rider K**
Yamaguchi of Kyoto Fushimi?
**[19:03] Rider L**
Was he the type of guy
to say stuff like that?
**[19:06] Rider M**
I'm not so sure.
**[19:08] Rider M**
Honestly, I have practically
no memory of what he's like.
**[19:11] Rider L**
Me, neither. After all,
he doesn't stand out much.
**[19:14] Rider L**
He's always hiding in Midousuji's shadow.
**[19:17] Both**
Midousuji?
**[19:19] Yamaguchi**
Ohori, Yaguramaru.
**[19:22] Yamaguchi**
Two minutes.
**[19:24] Yamaguchi**
I want the two of you to pull
from the front for two minutes.
**[19:26] Ohori**
What?
**[19:27] Yaguramaru**
You can't just suddenly issue us orders.
**[19:30] Yamaguchi**
In two minutes, I'll pull.
**[19:32] Yamaguchi**
Is that good enough for you?
**[19:35] Ohori**
Uh... Fine.
**[19:39] Rider H**
That must be it.
**[19:41] Rider I**
This isn't Yamaguchi's decision.
**[19:44] Rider J**
It's Midousuji's strategy.
**[19:51] Fujiwara**
Ise-san, was what they just said true?
**[19:54] Ise**
It is.
**[19:55] Ise**
Today's starting order
**[19:57] Ise**
means Midousuji will be riding alone with
his assist at the start of the race.
**[20:01] Ise**
Once Hakone Academy and Sohoku
get their members together,
**[20:04] Ise**
they'll be at a major disadvantage.
**[20:05] Ise**
That said, if they slow down to
meet up with the rest of their team,
**[20:10] Ise**
naturally, they'll get left behind.
**[20:12] Ise**
In order to keep that gap
as small as possible,
**[20:15] Ise**
we'll raise the pack's pace and
meet up with Yamaguchi's group.
**[20:18] Ise**
Then we'll ride that momentum
all the way to Midousuji.
**[20:22] Fujiwara**
What happens after
we meet up with Midousuji?
**[20:27] Ise**
We'll probably go after the lead pack.
**[20:29] Fujiwara**
The lead pack?
**[20:31] Rider H**
We've got this!
**[20:32] Rider I**
Yeah. As long as we keep
following Yamaguchi's orders...
**[20:36] Rider J**
We'll reach Midousuji, and then...
**[20:39] Rider H**
We could actually catch up to the lead pack.
**[20:42] Yamaguchi**
Let's swap.
**[20:43] Ohori**
Got it.
**[20:44] Yaguramaru**
I'm gonna rest a bit.
**[20:47] Yamaguchi**
Funatsu, don't fall behind.
**[20:48] Funatsu**
What?
**[20:50] Yamaguchi**
It'll be your turn after mine.
**[20:51] Yamaguchi**
We'll be swapping right away.
**[20:56] Funatsu**
He's like a different person, Komari.
**[21:02] Funatsu**
It really is impossible to talk to this guy.
**[21:05] Yamaguchi**
Funatsu, swap.
**[21:07] Funatsu**
Fine, fine.
**[21:18] (Flashback) Midousuji**
Because of Ise-kun, my strategy
required some fine tuning,
**[21:23] (Flashback) Midousuji**
but that doesn't change what you need to do.
**[21:26] (Flashback) Midousuji**
Do exactly as I told you
yesterday, Yamaguchi-kun.
**[21:31] (Flashback) Yamaguchi**
I know.
**[21:35] Yamaguchi**
Is this what you wanted, Midousuji?
**[21:40] Yamaguchi**
Swap leaders. I'll pull.
**[21:49] Niwazuma**
A big one, huh?
**[21:51] Niwazuma**
You think there's someone
like that inside that pack?
**[21:55] Urakubo**
Not right now, but once he joins them,
**[22:01] Urakubo**
the pack will become stronger
than you could ever imagine.
**[22:09] Midousuji**
Splish, splash. Splish, splash.
**[22:12] Mizuta**
Huh? Did you say something, Midousuji-kun?
**[22:16] Midousuji**
I can hear the small fry coming.
**[22:20] Mizuta**
What?
**[22:27] Midousuji**
The pack. The pack of small fry.
**[22:31] Mizuta**
What? Yama...
**[22:34] Mizuta**
Why is he pulling the pack?
**[22:38] Midousuji**
No, not small fry.
**[22:41] Midousuji**
That's a school of piranhas.
**[22:44] Mizuta**
P-Pira...? What are those?
**[22:47] Midousuji**
You don't need to know.
**[22:50] Midousuji**
Let's raise our pace.
**[22:52] Mizuta**
Huh? Hey, wait!
**[23:06] Yamaguchi**
I'm here, Midousuji.
**[23:13] Midousuji**
I've been waiting for you, Yamaguchi-kun.

**[00:04] Izumida**
Teshima-kun...
**[00:06] Izumida**
Do you have a moment?
**[00:08] Teshima**
Izumida...
**[00:10] Izumida**
Our cooperative group will reach the
four riders in the lead pack shortly.
**[00:14] Izumida**
When that happens,
we'll become opponents again.
**[00:16] Teshima**
What, so you want to chat before then?
**[00:19] Teshima**
I don't know any girls
I could introduce you to.
**[00:22] Izumida**
I thought I'd apologize to you...
**[00:26] Izumida**
For my rudeness on the first day.
**[00:30] Izumida**
I underestimated you on the
first day in the mountains.
**[00:34] Izumida**
But you squarely took on Manami.
**[00:41] (Flashback) Teshima**
But the view was incredible.
**[00:43] (Flashback) Teshima**
So I was taking a tea break.
**[00:47] Izumida**
It's not something just anyone could do.
**[00:50] Izumida**
You're a strong and courageous man.
**[00:53] Izumida**
I apologize for underestimating you.
**[00:56] Izumida**
Sohoku chose a strong captain.
**[01:00] Teshima**
D-Don't, you'll make my face
catch fire from embarrassment.
**[01:04] Teshima**
It's a coincidence that I was chosen.
**[01:17] Aoyagi**
I hear wheels.
**[01:18] Kaburagi**
What?
**[01:22] Kaburagi**
But there's nobody there.
**[01:25] Teshima**
No, I hear them.
**[01:27] Teshima**
That's the sound of a
tremendous number of wheels.
***SIGN*** Yowamushi Pedal
***SIGN*** The Power to Move Forward Together
**[03:17] Kaburagi**
Teshima-san, they're catching up!
**[03:19] Teshima**
I can see that!
**[03:20] Teshima**
Aoyagi and Kaburagi, get in front.
**[03:23] Teshima**
We're going to shake them off and
catch up to Onoda and Imaizumi!
**[03:26] Teshima**
We'll get all six of
us together, no matter what!
**[03:28] Teshima**
Those are your orders!
**[03:30] Kaburagi**
Yes, sir!
**[03:32] Kuroda**
Manami, I'm sorry I underestimated them.
**[03:36] Kuroda**
But it's not your time yet.
**[03:39] Kuroda**
Doubashi, take Manami with you.
**[03:43] Manami**
What about you, Kuroda-san?
**[03:45] Kuroda**
Packs settle down when
they swallow someone up.
**[03:49] Kuroda**
That'll allow me to control it.
**[03:51] Kuroda**
I'll fall back for now and—
**[03:52] Izumida**
Fall back?
**[03:54] Izumida**
As your captain, I,
Izumida Touichirou, will not allow it!
**[03:59] Kuroda**
Touichirou...
**[04:01] Izumida**
Arakita-san told me something last year.
**[04:04] Izumida**
He said we third-years were
responsible for this year's race.
**[04:09] Izumida**
After all, we assembled the team,
trained them, and built them up this point.
**[04:15] Izumida**
See it through, Kuroda Yukinari!
**[04:18] Izumida**
That's how you can take
responsibility for this race.
**[04:21] Izumida**
The team can't function in the
mountains without your playmaking!
**[04:26] Izumida**
You still have a job to do.
**[04:29] Izumida**
How could you break away from the team now?
**[04:33] Kuroda**
Fine. I get it, Touichirou.
**[04:36] Izumida**
Abs, Yuki.
**[04:39] Teshima**
I can't believe he caught up
with the whole pack.
**[04:43] Naruko**
So that was your plan, Midousuji!
**[04:46] Doubashi**
Orange!
**[04:48] Doubashi**
Stay behind us. We're accelerating.
**[04:50] Doubashi**
We haven't stopped cooperating yet.
**[04:52] Kaburagi**
Thank you, Doubashi-san!
**[04:55] Naruko**
Teshima-san!
**[05:01] Teshima**
I was slow to react.
**[05:03] Teshima**
What am I doing? Stupid, stupid!
**[05:06] Naruko**
This ain't good.
**[05:07] Naruko**
If we're this far apart at this speed...
**[05:13] Teshima**
No, I can't fall here.
**[05:17] Teshima**
Go. Catch up.
**[05:18] Teshima**
Fight, Teshima Junta.
**[05:24] Naruko**
Teshi...
**[05:30] Naruko**
Teshima-san!
**[05:33] Izumida**
He's been swallowed.
**[05:34] Izumida**
How unfortunate.
**[05:36] Izumida**
You lost an exceptional leader, Sohoku.
**[05:39] Rider A**
All right. We got one of Sohoku's guys.
**[05:42] Rider D**
We did it.
**[05:43] Rider C**
We're amazing.
**[05:46] Teshima**
My team's leaving. You can't be serious.
**[05:49] Teshima**
What am I doing? This is a critical moment.
**[05:53] Rider A**
Huh? Where are Midousuji and Yamaguchi?
**[05:57] Rider D**
What's going on? All the
Kyoto Fushimi guys are gone.
**[05:59] Rider C**
Hey, look!
**[06:04] All**
They're attacking?
**[06:06] Teshima**
Midousuji!
**[06:07] Teshima**
He waited for the moment the pack
became giddy to counterattack.
**[06:12] Rider A**
What's going on here?
**[06:13] Rider D**
I thought we were going after the
lead pack together, Kyoto Fushimi.
**[06:18] Midousuji**
Thank you for your contribution, piranhas.
**[06:21] Midousuji**
Your job ends here.
**[06:25] Midousuji**
Because of you, my legs are well rested.
**[06:29] Teshima**
Damn it. They're leaving.
**[06:31] Teshima**
If I fall behind here, I won't
be able to catch up again.
**[06:34] Teshima**
Hey, anyone will do.
**[06:35] Teshima**
Will anyone cooperate with me?
**[06:37] Teshima**
Let's go after the guys ahead of us.
**[06:40] Rider D**
I can't.
**[06:41] Rider E**
My legs are blown from
pedaling so hard until now.
**[06:44] Rider F**
I can't catch up.
**[06:46] Teshima**
That's ridiculous.
**[06:48] Teshima**
There's no way a pack that made it this
far doesn't have the strength to—
**[06:52] Teshima**
It was Kyoto Fushimi!
**[06:55] Teshima**
A pack that's lost its leader
has no choice but to fall apart.
**[07:00] Teshima**
Did you plan this, too, Midousuji?
**[07:04] Midousuji**
Piranhas are only scary when they're
working together as a group.
**[07:08] Midousuji**
Once they scatter,
they're just individual fish.
**[07:14] Teshima**
No, not yet.
**[07:16] Teshima**
Please, someone chase after them with me!
**[07:19] Teshima**
Cooperate with me. Anyone!
**[07:21] Teshima**
Anyone, please!
**[07:24] Teshima**
I've still got things left to do.
**[07:29] (Flashback) Teshima**
Onoda, I'm counting on you to carry
us through the mountains today.
**[07:31] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
Yes, sir.
**[07:32] (Flashback) Teshima**
But don't worry. I'm a Sohoku climber, too.
**[07:36] (Flashback) Teshima**
I'll do everything I can to support you.
**[07:40] (Flashback) Teshima**
I don't have your incredible climbing ability,
though, so I'll do the best I can.
**[07:46] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
Oh, no. Thank you.
**[07:50] Teshima**
Anyone will do!
**[07:51] Teshima**
Someone cooperate with me!
**[07:53] Teshima**
Someone... Anyone...
**[07:55] Teshima**
Hey, you.
**[07:57] Teshima**
Will you... huh?
**[08:00] Teshima**
This jersey... This number tag...
**[08:03] Teshima**
Who is that? No, I know his face well.
**[08:07] Aoyagi**
Junta, stick behind me.
**[08:10] Aoyagi**
We'll accelerate soon.
**[08:15] Teshima**
Wh-What are you doing here?
**[08:18] Teshima**
You need to reach the lead pack. Why?
**[08:21] Teshima**
Why did you come...
**[08:24] Aoyagi**
Because you were swallowed by the pack.
**[08:26] Aoyagi**
I came here to drag our
climber back to the team.
**[08:34] Teshima**
Aoyagi's here.
**[08:37] Teshima**
I couldn't ask for a more
dependable partner to work with.
**[08:42] Aoyagi**
Get behind me, Junta.
**[08:44] Teshima**
Sure, Aoyagi.
**[08:46] Teshima**
No, wait. But you...
**[08:52] Aoyagi**
What's wrong, Junta? You look worried.
**[08:57] Aoyagi**
Remember what we said after
yesterday's award ceremony?
**[09:01] Aoyagi**
We said we wanted to use our
Synchronized Straight Twin in our final race.
**[09:07] Aoyagi**
I want to hear you say it, Junta.
**[09:09] Aoyagi**
Tell me you believe in miracles.
**[09:15] Rider A**
Sohoku jumped ahead!
**[09:17] Rider B**
Don't let them go! Someone go after them!
**[09:19] Rider C**
Someone? You do it.
**[09:20] Rider B**
There's no way I can!
**[09:22] Rider C**
Well, neither can I.
**[09:23] Iwasaki**
Ise-san?
**[09:24] Fujiwara**
Shouldn't we stop them?
**[09:30] Ise**
Iwasaki, Fujiwara.
**[09:32] Iwasaki & Fujiwara**
Yes, sir.
**[09:33] Ise**
Our Inter-High is over.
**[09:35] Iwasaki**
What?
**[09:36] Fujiwara**
Ise-san?
**[09:37] Ise**
I don't have the strength
left to go after them.
**[09:41] Ise**
Neither do you guys, right?
**[09:44] Ise**
But I'm satisfied.
**[09:47] Ise**
I did everything I could.
**[09:49] Ise**
People might mock me for being mediocre,
**[09:52] Ise**
but I can go back to Kumamoto
with my head held high.
**[09:58] Ise**
Next year is up to you guys.
**[10:02] Iwasaki & Fujiwara**
Yes, sir.
**[10:12] Teshima**
Aoyagi, are you okay? Doesn't it hurt?
**[10:17] Teshima**
You never show any emotion.
***SIGN*** Victory
**[10:23] Aoyagi**
It must be hot. I'm thirsty.
**[10:26] Teshima**
Could it be?
**[10:27] Teshima**
Is he trying to do a synchronized
bottle hand-off at the Inter-High?
**[10:35] Teshima**
It can't be done unless you
completely trust your partner,
**[10:37] Teshima**
and know his strength and habits.
**[10:43] Teshima**
We've practiced and suffered
together to make it this far.
**[10:47] Teshima**
It's our ultimate form.
**[10:51] Fan A**
Wow, look at those two.
**[10:53] Fan B**
That's too close.
**[10:54] Fan C**
Are they sharing a bottle?
**[10:55] Teshima**
Only we can perform the
Synchronized Straight Twin!
**[11:01] Teshima**
Hajime!
**[11:03] Teshima**
Are you telling me not to worry?
**[11:06] Teshima**
Are you asking me to come with you?
**[11:08] Aoyagi**
Junta...
**[11:10] Aoyagi**
How hard should I pedal?
**[11:12] Aoyagi**
Tell me, what's your plan?
**[11:17] Teshima**
Start by pulling at 80% strength.
**[11:20] Teshima**
You can drop to 60% on the
downhill and rest your legs.
**[11:24] Teshima**
Once our opponents come
into view, go up to 100%.
**[11:26] Teshima**
If it becomes a race, go to 120%.
**[11:29] Teshima**
We'll slip past our opponents
and meet up with our team.
**[11:33] Teshima**
It's all right.
**[11:35] Teshima**
We've got this.
**[11:36] Teshima**
The two of us can do this.
**[11:40] Teshima**
I believe in miracles.
**[11:43] Aoyagi**
Got it, Junta.
**[11:46] Teshima**
Everyone stands on their own.
**[11:49] Teshima**
Everyone walks on their own two legs.
**[11:52] Teshima**
But strangely, talking to someone while
you walk makes the journey feel shorter.
**[11:58] Teshima**
One day, I had a thought...
**[12:02] Teshima**
Maybe that's strength.
**[12:05] Teshima**
Everyone walks with their own strength.
**[12:08] Teshima**
But though it's invisible, there's definitely
some kind of force at work.
**[12:14] Teshima**
Even if you're not touching,
being with another person
**[12:20] Teshima**
walking together in the same direction
gives you both strength.
**[12:26] Teshima**
Let's swap. Rest behind me for two minutes.
**[12:30] Teshima**
It's true. Moving forward
together is strength.
**[12:33] Teshima**
Even though we're in a crisis,
I feel so powerful.
**[12:37] Teshima**
Despite how much despair
I experienced earlier,
**[12:40] Teshima**
now I feel hope.
**[12:43] Teshima**
Are you watching, Inter-High?
**[12:47] Teshima**
I'm here now as a third-year.
**[12:51] Teshima**
I fought, suffered setbacks, overcame them,
and struggled to reach this road.
**[12:57] Teshima**
I'm here at the Inter-High.
**[13:00] Teshima**
I've arrived at the highest level
of competition with Aoyagi.
**[13:02] Teshima**
Together, we did it with the
Synchronized Straight Twin of our souls.
**[13:08] Aoyagi**
It's been two minutes. Let's swap.
**[13:09] Teshima**
Okay, thanks.
**[13:11] Aoyagi**
Are you shaking?
**[13:14] Teshima**
I must be crazy, since we're
in the middle of a crisis,
**[13:17] Teshima**
but my heart is pounding with excitement.
**[13:20] Aoyagi**
So is mine.
**[13:23] Aoyagi**
Junta...
**[13:23] Teshima**
Yeah. Let's go, Aoyagi.

**[13:45] Doubashi**
I see 'em, Izumida-san. Finally!
**[13:49] Doubashi**
We finally caught up to the lead pack.
**[13:53] Sakamichi**
Imaizumi-kun, it's the team.
**[13:55] Imaizumi**
Took you long enough, Naruko.
**[13:58] Ashikiba**
You came.
**[13:59] Yuuto**
You kept us waiting a long time, Izumida-san.
**[14:02] Yuuto**
Now all six of us are here.
**[14:04] Yuuto**
Let's accelerate at full speed.
**[14:06] Izumida**
No.
**[14:07] Izumida**
Wait, Yuuto.
**[14:10] Sakamichi**
What? Teshima-san was...
**[14:12] Kaburagi**
Yes.
**[14:13] Imaizumi**
Is that true, Naruko?
**[14:15] Naruko**
Yeah, it's for real.
**[14:20] Izumida**
Wait until they're settled.
**[14:22] Izumida**
Teshima-kun's sacrifice is
the reason the pack stopped.
**[14:27] Sakamichi**
A-And Aoyagi-san, too?
**[14:30] Kaburagi**
That's right. I tried to stop him, but...
**[14:34] Sakamichi**
Aoyagi-san and...
**[14:36] Imaizumi**
...Teshima-san.
**[14:39] Kaburagi**
We finally met up with the lead pack,
**[14:42] Kaburagi**
and Hakone Academy has all six
members while we only have four.
**[14:46] Kaburagi**
We're at a terrible disadvantage.
**[14:48] Kaburagi**
If Aoyagi-san had stayed,
then at least we'd have five.
**[14:51] Sakamichi**
Aoyagi-san and...
**[14:53] Imaizumi**
...Teshima-san!
**[14:54] Kaburagi**
Huh? What? Why are you smiling?
**[14:57] Kaburagi**
We're screwed.
**[14:58] Kaburagi**
This is hopeless.
**[15:00] Kaburagi**
They're not coming back.
**[15:02] Naruko**
You think they won't come back, hotshot?
**[15:05] Imaizumi**
Normally, it'd be impossible.
**[15:07] Kaburagi**
Right?
**[15:09] Imaizumi**
But it's the two of them together.
**[15:11] Kaburagi**
Huh?
**[15:11] Naruko**
Kabu doesn't know about it.
**[15:13] Imaizumi**
Those two used to race
together as a two-man team.
**[15:20] Imaizumi**
We know better than anyone
how strong they are.
**[15:23] Sakamichi**
Yeah.
**[15:25] Imaizumi**
Don't abandon hope yet.
**[15:27] Imaizumi**
Those two will come back.
**[15:29] Imaizumi**
Sohoku will wait as long as it can for them.
**[15:35] Teshima**
Let's catch up to the team, Aoyagi.
**[15:37] Aoyagi**
Yeah, Junta.
**[15:39] Teshima**
You just wait, Imaizumi,
Naruko, Kaburagi, Onoda...
**[15:44] Aoyagi**
Junta, I see riders ahead.
**[15:47] Aoyagi**
Those jerseys...
**[15:49] Teshima**
It's Kyoto Fushimi.
**[15:51] Midousuji**
Oh?
**[15:55] Teshima**
Midousuji...
**[15:57] Teshima**
Let's swap, Aoyagi.
**[15:59] Teshima**
Midousuji, I know you.
**[16:01] Teshima**
You predicted we'd catch up, didn't you?
**[16:05] Teshima**
Will you cooperate with us? No, impossible.
**[16:08] Teshima**
Will you block our path?
**[16:09] Teshima**
Or will stick behind us and use us?
**[16:12] Teshima**
Show me. What will you do?
**[16:19] Midousuji**
What's the matter?
**[16:20] Midousuji**
You look absolutely dumbfounded.
**[16:25] Teshima**
I didn't think you'd let us come up
beside you without a fight.
**[16:30] Midousuji**
How could you?
**[16:31] Midousuji**
I'm not that mean.
**[16:36] Teshima**
Yeah, right. Aoyagi!
**[16:47] Midousuji**
If you want to go after the lead pack,
**[16:49] Midousuji**
you'll have to do something
about that wall first.
**[16:54] Teshima**
So these two are going to block our path.
**[16:57] Teshima**
Are you planning to wall us off?
**[16:59] Yamaguchi**
No.
**[17:01] Yamaguchi**
We'd like to challenge you
to a race, two-against-two.
**[17:05] Teshima**
A two-against-two race?
**[17:09] Yamaguchi**
A team battle.
**[17:10] Yamaguchi**
You remember the course map, don't you?
**[17:13] Yamaguchi**
Beyond these flats is a large bridge.
**[17:17] Yamaguchi**
The finish line will be
the end of that bridge.
**[17:23] Yamaguchi**
However...
**[17:24] Yamaguchi**
In a team battle, there's no
point unless both riders finish.
**[17:29] Yamaguchi**
We won't be competing to see who
crosses the finish line first,
**[17:33] Yamaguchi**
but whose second rider
crosses the bridge first.
**[17:40] Teshima**
Why does he seem so intense?
**[17:44] Yamaguchi**
This is insane.
**[17:47] (Flashback) Midousuji**
Yamaguchi-kun...
**[17:49] (Flashback) Midousuji**
In the end, you'll crush
one of Sohoku's riders.
**[17:52] (Flashback) Midousuji**
Two, if things go well.
**[17:57] (Flashback) Midousuji**
In order to ensure the third day
goes advantageously for us,
**[18:00] (Flashback) Midousuji**
I need you to complete this phase.
**[18:04] (Flashback) Midousuji**
It's all riding on your shoulders,
Yamaguchi-kun.
**[18:12] Yamaguchi**
*This is ridiculous. It's unreasonable.*
**[18:15] Yamaguchi**
* Just getting into Kyoto Fushimi and*
* becoming a regular was a miracle for me.*
**[18:22] Yamaguchi**
* I get weirdly nervous and*
* can't speak properly.*
**[18:25] Yamaguchi**
*I've told the others countless times*
**[18:27] Yamaguchi**
*that I can't be trusted with important tasks.*
**[18:29] Yamaguchi**
* So why? Why does he keep*
* making unreasonable requests?*
**[18:33] Yamaguchi**
* It's unreasonable!*
* Unreasonable! Unreasonable!*
**[18:38] (Flashback) Ishigaki**
Yama, you have to be
Midousuji's conscience.
**[18:49] (Flashback) Yamaguchi**
This is the first time I've ever
grabbed someone by the collar.
**[18:53] (Flashback) Yamaguchi**
Forgive me, Midousuji.
**[18:57] (Flashback) Yamaguchi**
At least year's Inter-High, I was abandoned
in the mountains and left behind.
**[19:03] (Flashback) Yamaguchi**
You always do this.
**[19:04] (Flashback) Yamaguchi**
Your practice schedules and
orders are always unreasonable.
**[19:08] (Flashback) Yamaguchi**
But I don't like conflict.
**[19:11] (Flashback) Yamaguchi**
Even if I had something to say,
I've kept quiet until now.
**[19:15] (Flashback) Yamaguchi**
But after being forced to comply
with all your unreasonable requests,
**[19:18] (Flashback) Yamaguchi**
I finally figured it out.
**[19:21] (Flashback) Yamaguchi**
That must be my fate. Fine, then.
**[19:24] (Flashback) Yamaguchi**
I accept it.
**[19:26] (Flashback) Yamaguchi**
Tomorrow, on the third day,
I'll complete your phase
**[19:32] (Flashback) Yamaguchi**
like my life depends on it.
**[19:36] Midousuji**
If it means you'll do it, letting you
grab my collar is a small price to pay,
**[19:44] Midousuji**
Yamaguchi-kun.
**[19:47] Yamaguchi**
I am a third-year sprinter for Kyoto Fushimi,
Yamaguchi Noriyuki.
**[19:52] Funatsu**
And I'm a workhorse on the flats,
second-year Funatsu Kazuho.
**[19:55] Teshima**
Both of them are sprinters.
**[19:58] Teshima**
As a climber, I'd be outclassed
in a race on the flats.
**[20:02] Aoyagi**
Junta!
**[20:03] Aoyagi**
We don't need to accept their challenge.
**[20:07] Teshima**
No, this is a wall we have to overcome
**[20:11] Teshima**
if we want to meet up with our team.
**[20:13] Teshima**
Isn't that right, Yamaguchi?
**[20:16] Aoyagi**
What do you mean?
**[20:17] Teshima**
I'm sure Midousuji told you
that even if we win this race
**[20:21] Teshima**
and meet up with the lead pack...
**[20:25] Midousuji**
We won't hinder you or chase after you.
**[20:29] Midousuji**
You'll be free to go after your team.
**[20:34] Yamaguchi**
That's right.
**[20:35] Yamaguchi**
And if we win, then you'll give
up on going after the front.
**[20:40] Yamaguchi**
That's our condition.
**[20:43] Aoyagi**
Junta...
**[20:44] Teshima**
I know. It's just their word.
**[20:47] Teshima**
There's no guarantee Midousuji will keep his.
**[20:50] Teshima**
But the fact is, we can't meet up with
our team unless we get past these guys.
**[20:57] Teshima**
I'm sorry.
**[20:58] Teshima**
I know it'll take a toll on you, but...
**[21:04] Teshima**
I have to get back to the team
so I can do what I need to do.
**[21:09] Aoyagi**
Junta...
**[21:11] Teshima**
Fine. We accept your challenge, Yamaguchi.
**[21:14] Yamaguchi**
I see.
**[21:15] Teshima**
The two-against-two sprint race...
**[21:18] Teshima & Yamaguchi**
...is on!
**[21:24] Teshima**
Crap! Yamaguchi Noriyuki's damn fast.
**[21:29] Teshima**
It's no wonder he's a regular
on the Kyoto Fushimi team.
**[21:33] Funatsu**
We've got this. It's just over four kilometers
to the finish line across the bridge.
**[21:36] Funatsu**
If we can claim a decisive lead over them
while Teshima the climber is pulling,
**[21:40] Funatsu**
we'll win.
**[21:44] Funatsu**
So why isn't Aoyagi pulling?
**[21:47] Funatsu**
This is the wrong time to be stingy.
**[21:50] Aoyagi**
How long are you going
to keep pulling, Junta?
**[21:53] Teshima**
Well, you know... the weather's nice.
**[21:57] Teshima**
And you're wearing leg covers
in this scorching heat.
**[22:03] Teshima**
I thought you might be feeling
a little under the weather.
**[22:06] Aoyagi**
Don't worry about me, Junta.
**[22:09] Aoyagi**
I've gotten plenty of rest riding behind you.
**[22:20] Aoyagi**
Supersonic Oxygen Human Bullet, Third Style.
**[22:25] Funatsu**
What? He inflated?!
**[22:27] Aoyagi**
Muscles expand when you use them.
**[22:30] Aoyagi**
And mine are just a little bit special.
**[22:32] Funatsu**
A little bit?!
**[22:33] Aoyagi**
My core and leg muscles
expand to an abnormal size!
**[22:36] Funatsu**
That's absurd!
**[22:40] Aoyagi**
Junta, I'm going to accelerate now.
**[22:43] Aoyagi**
Stick right behind me.
**[22:44] Teshima**
You're already accelerating.
**[22:46] Aoyagi**
Here we go.
**[22:47] Teshima**
Got it.
**[22:51] Funatsu**
What?
**[22:51] Teshima**
We caught up, Yamaguchi.
**[22:55] Mizuta**
They've probably caught up to
Yamaguchi and Funatsu by now.
**[22:59] Mizuta**
Are you sure it wouldn't have been better
for the five of us to crush them?
**[23:04] Midousuji**
They're prepared to work really hard for it.
**[23:09] Midousuji**
And besides,
**[23:11] Midousuji**
it's not so difficult to
capture an injured birdie.

What are we gonna do, Yamaguchi-san?
**[02:44] Funatsu**
Teshima may not be a threat,
but Aoyagi is a first-class sprinter.
**[02:48] Funatsu**
We were pulling the pack until
a few moments ago. We can't—
**[02:50] Yamaguchi**
Get in front, Funatsu.
**[02:52] Funatsu**
What?
**[02:53] Yamaguchi**
Don't think. Just keep pulling
until you drop out of the race.
**[02:57] Funatsu**
Drop out?
**[02:59] Yamaguchi**
We've got four kilometers to go.
**[03:00] Yamaguchi**
The other side of the
bridge is our finish line.
**[03:05] Funatsu**
I thought I didn't have anything left
to lose after I shaved my head, but...
**[03:11] Funatsu**
You're demanding this of
us, too, Midousuji? Damn it.
**[03:17] Yamaguchi**
Don't worry. I'll pull
until I can't anymore, too.
**[03:21] Funatsu**
Yamaguchi-san, you're also planning
on ending your race here?
**[03:25] Yamaguchi**
That's the phase we've been tasked with.
**[03:30] Funatsu**
Yes, sir!
**[03:35] Yamaguchi**
That's it, Funatsu.
**[03:37] Yamaguchi**
We're gonna see our final phase through.
**[03:41] Aoyagi**
We're going after them, Junta.
**[03:43] Teshima**
Yeah.
**[03:52] Teshima**
2.5 kilometers to go.
**[03:54] Teshima**
The finish line is approaching, but...
**[03:57] Teshima**
We're slowing down.
**[04:00] Teshima**
Are his knees finally getting to him?
**[04:04] Aoyagi**
Don't worry about me, Junta.
**[04:08] Aoyagi**
It feels like we're going slower
**[04:10] Aoyagi**
because I'm riding at 40% strength
so I don't exhaust my legs.
**[04:16] Aoyagi**
Sprinting isn't just about going fast.
**[04:20] Aoyagi**
That's what Tadokoro-san taught me last year.

**[04:23] (Flashback) Tadokoro**
Listen up, Aoyagi.
**[04:25] (Flashback) Tadokoro**
Sprinting is about strategy.
**[04:28] (Flashback) Tadokoro**
In certain situations, it's important
to allow your opponent to run.
**[04:33] (Flashback) Aoyagi**
Allow them to run?
**[04:34] (Flashback) Tadokoro**
That's right. The longer you make
them run, the more power they use.
**[04:41] (Flashback) Tadokoro**
Conserving your energy
**[04:43] (Flashback) Tadokoro**
and catching up slowly rather than
immediately gives you an advantage.
**[04:49] (Flashback) Tadokoro**
You get it, don't you?
**[04:51] (Flashback) Tadokoro**
Sprinting is surprisingly intellectual.
**[04:56] (Flashback) Tadokoro**
Huh? Uh... Yeah, okay.
**[05:01] (Flashback) Tadokoro**
I'll show you how it's done.
**[05:05] (Flashback) Tadokoro**
You need strong legs to catch your opponents.
**[05:08] (Flashback) Aoyagi**
Yes, sir.
**[05:09] (Flashback) Tadokoro**
You gotta practice like crazy,
**[05:11] (Flashback) Tadokoro**
and finally, it takes experience and guts.
**[05:13] (Flashback) Aoyagi**
Yes, sir!
**[05:15] Tadokoro**
I'm the man I am today because of him.
**[05:19] Teshima**
I received a lot of help
from Tadokoro-san, too.
**[05:22] Teshima**
He taught me a lot of things.
**[05:26] Teshima**
But maybe you learned
more from him than I did.
**[05:29] Teshima**
Honestly, I'm jealous.
**[05:30] Aoyagi**
What?
**[05:32] Teshima**
It probably made Tadokoro-san happy
**[05:35] Teshima**
that of the two racers he
looked after and trained,
**[05:40] Teshima**
one of us followed the same
sprinter path that he did.
**[05:45] Aoyagi**
You think so?
**[05:47] Teshima**
I do. You're special.
**[05:59] Aoyagi**
Now that I think about it,
he did pat my head a lot.
**[06:04] Teshima**
Look. While we were reminiscing,
**[06:07] Teshima**
we caught up to them.
**[06:11] Funatsu**
It's not possible for us to shake off Aoyagi.
**[06:14] Yamaguchi**
You did well, Funatsu.
**[06:16] Yamaguchi**
I'll pull now. Try to keep up.
**[06:22] Aoyagi**

Right now, I'm racing along at speeds right
in the middle of a sprinter's range.
**[06:43] Teshima**
Don't fall behind.
**[06:44] Teshima**
If you fall behind now,
you'll never catch back up.
**[06:48] Teshima**
Aoyagi, catch up to Yamaguchi and Funatsu.
**[06:51] Teshima**
From there, we'll go all out.

Pull ahead of them and race

If we're accelerating and they still

**[08:04] Kaburagi**
I should've tried harder to stop him.
**[08:07] Kaburagi**
I can't believe that was the last
time I'll race with Aoyagi-san.
**[08:11] Kaburagi**
I'm an idiot after all.
**[08:13] Kaburagi**
Yesterday, when Aoyagi-san came to help me,
I thought he'd fallen behind.
**[08:20] Kaburagi**
He's always giving me nonsensical
orders and making me sing weird songs.
**[08:26] Kaburagi**
I thought he was a nutty guy

**[08:32] Kaburagi**
Yesterday, I figured it out.

**[08:40] Kaburagi**
I wouldn't have gone to help him!
**[08:42] Naruko**
He came right out and said it.
**[08:44] Kaburagi**
But without a word...
**[08:47] Kaburagi**
Without bragging about it,
without speaking, he gets it done.
**[08:52] Kaburagi**
He does things even when
no one thanks him for it.
**[08:56] (Flashback) Kaburagi**
He's crazy.
**[08:59] Kaburagi**
He doesn't walk the talk, he just walks.
**[09:04] Kaburagi**
So in the end, I wanted to race my heart
out and tell him how much I respect him.
**[09:14] Kaburagi**
I get it, though. This race will be difficult.
**[09:19] Imaizumi**
That's right.
**[09:20] Kaburagi**
Then let's go and not look back.
**[09:26] Kaburagi**
Onoda-san?
**[09:27] Onoda**
U-Um, I think you should tell him that.
**[09:31] Kaburagi**
Huh?
**[09:33] Kaburagi**
But I can't possibly given the circumstances.
**[09:37] Onoda**
Tell him, Kaburagi-kun.
**[09:39] Onoda**
Maybe it won't happen,
and maybe it's unlikely,
**[09:44] Onoda**
but keep thinking you want to
tell him that until the end.
**[09:47] Kaburagi**
Keep thinking?
**[09:48] Onoda**
Isn't that what it means
to believe in someone?
**[09:55] Naruko**
Sounds like somethin' you'd say, Onoda-kun.
**[09:57] Imaizumi**
Keep thinking, huh?
**[10:00] Imaizumi**
That reminds me.
**[10:01] Imaizumi**
Last year, I became certain of something
after seeing what you achieved.
**[10:06] (Flashback) Imaizumi**
Our thoughts will reach them.
**[10:10] Imaizumi**
Showoff, think.
**[10:12] Imaizumi**
Appreciate the words of wisdom
Onoda-senpai has given you.
**[10:15] Naruko**
That's it. Think as hard as you can.
**[10:17] Kaburagi**
Yes, sir.
**[10:18] Onoda**
Uh, I didn't think it was that big a deal.
**[10:23] Yuuto**
I'm not sure what happened, but the pressure
Sohoku's exuding suddenly increased.
**[10:28] Izumida**
Yeah, you're right.
**[10:31] Onoda**
Let's believe in them.
I'm sure they'll catch up.
**[10:35] Kaburagi**
Got it. I'll do it.
**[10:39] Kaburagi**
I'll keep thinking about what I want to
tell Aoyagi-san even if things get dicey.
**[10:47] Teshima**
There's the bridge!
**[10:49] Yamaguchi**
To the other side of the bridge...
**[10:51] Aoyagi & Teshima**
...there's one more kilometer.
**[10:53] Aoyagi**
We caught up!
**[10:54] Teshima**
Go, Aoyagi! All-out!
**[10:55] Teshima**
Pedal at 120%.
**[10:59] Aoyagi**
Got it, Junta.
**[11:07] Aoyagi**
Funatsu doesn't have the
strength left to pull.
**[11:10] Aoyagi**
Yamaguchi's exhausted, too.
They're at their limit.
**[11:13] Aoyagi**
There are 800 meters to go.
**[11:15] Aoyagi**
If we can pass them, then we'll win!
**[11:23] Aoyagi**
You're kidding, right?
**[11:24] Aoyagi**
How does he have the strength to do that?
**[11:26] Yamaguchi**
I gotta do this. It's my final job.
**[11:30] Yamaguchi**
I'll do it, no matter what!
**[11:34] Teshima**
No. If they pull ahead here,
we'll be screwed.
**[11:37] Aoyagi**
Junta, we're going faster.
**[11:40] Yamaguchi**
Don't fall behind, Funatsu.
**[11:42] Funatsu**
Yes, sir.
**[11:48] Teshima**
We're on the bridge.
**[11:49] Yamaguchi**
Five hundred meters to the finish line.
**[11:52] Funatsu**
Only the sprint to the finish remains.
**[11:55] Funatsu**
What will you do? What's your play, Sohoku?
**[12:00] Funatsu**
Aoyagi is a first-class sprinter.
**[12:02] Funatsu**
It should be possible for him to accelerate
before the finish line and pass us,
**[12:06] Funatsu**
but as a climber,
Teshima won't be able to keep up.
**[12:11] Funatsu**
It's possible Aoyagi will
continue supporting him
**[12:14] Funatsu**
and launch Teshima at the last second,
**[12:18] Funatsu**
but as the weaker sprinter,
Teshima won't be able to pass us.
**[12:22] Funatsu**
Either way, we'll finish
crossing the bridge first.
**[12:26] Yamaguchi**
It's really a shame.
**[12:28] Yamaguchi**
Your defeat was certain the moment
you accepted this challenge.
**[12:34] Teshima**
Go. You're great at sprints, Aoyagi.
**[12:40] Teshima**
What?
**[12:41] Teshima**
Aoyagi, you...
**[12:44] Teshima**
You made it this far despite your knee?
**[12:47] Teshima**
No, it's because of that.
**[12:50] Teshima**
You were prepared for this to
be your last sprint, so you...
**[12:56] Teshima**
I'm sorry for pushing you so hard, Aoyagi.
**[13:01] Teshima**
I'll handle the rest of the sprint.
**[13:03] Teshima**
Stick behind me.
**[13:07] Aoyagi**
Junta...
**[13:09] Aoyagi**
He's smiling?
**[13:11] Aoyagi**
How can he smile under these circumstances?
**[13:14] Teshima**
Thanks for pulling me this far.
**[13:19] Aoyagi**
It's that cheerfulness of yours
that's saved me over and over.
**[13:32] Aoyagi**
I'm a gloomy person.
**[13:34] Aoyagi**
It's what I've always been told,
and I believed it myself.
**[13:42] Aoyagi**
I even started bicycle racing
because I could practice alone.
**[13:47] Aoyagi**
I entered races alone and raced alone.
**[13:52] Aoyagi**
Because I had no one to correct me,
**[13:54] Aoyagi**
I always raced too quickly
through the first half
**[13:57] Aoyagi**
and got left behind during the second.
**[14:09] Aoyagi**
I met Junta at the high school I chose
just because it had a bicycle racing club.
**[14:17] (Flashback) Teshima**
You're a pretty decent climber.
**[14:22] (Flashback) Teshima**
I'm Teshima Junta from Minami
Middle School. What's your name?
**[14:27] (Flashback) Aoyagi**
Aoyagi Hajime.
**[14:34] (Flashback) Aoyagi**
Hajime is written with the
character "one" for number one.
**[14:40] (Flashback) Teshima**
You were in that race?
**[14:44] (Flashback) Teshima**
Higashido from class four used to race, too.
**[14:49] (Flashback) Teshima**
Today's practice was really tough.
**[14:53] Aoyagi**
I don't know what he liked about me,
but Junta often started conversations with me.
**[14:58] Aoyagi**
Not that I was any good at responding to him.
**[15:03] (Flashback) Teshima**
Hey, Aoyagi...
**[15:05] Aoyagi**
He was always smiling.
**[15:08] (Flashback) Aoyagi**
I-Isn't it boring always talking to me?
**[15:13] (Flashback) Teshima**
No, it's fun.
**[15:16] (Flashback) Teshima**
You actually listen to what I'm saying.
**[15:20] Aoyagi**
Junta always granted me strength.
**[15:24] Aoyagi**
After our first-year Inter-High,
we formed our two-man team.
**[15:30] Aoyagi**
And Junta put me up on the
winner's podium five times.
***SIGN*** Chiba Prefecture Newbie Road Race
**[15:36] Aoyagi**
I apologized to him numerous
times because I felt bad
**[15:39] Aoyagi**
about being the only one up there.
**[15:42] Aoyagi**
But every time, Junta smiled.
**[15:46] (Flashback) Teshima**
We've proven we're strong enough to do it.
**[15:51] (Flashback) Teshima**
That satisfies me.
**[15:53] (Flashback) Teshima**
I'm happy.
**[15:55] Aoyagi**
And every time, that ignited my passion,
**[15:59] Aoyagi**
and I felt like I became
stronger and stronger.
**[16:05] Aoyagi**
Whenever I was lost, troubled, or suffering,
**[16:09] Aoyagi**
Junta, you always stood by my side.
**[16:12] Aoyagi**
You've always sacrificed
yourself so I could win.
**[16:17] (Flashback) Teshima**
Thanks for pulling me this far.
**[16:21] Aoyagi**
I should be thanking you.
**[16:27] Funatsu**
He moved up.
**[16:28] Funatsu**
So Teshima's going for the final sprint.
**[16:31] Funatsu**
But what can a climber do?
**[16:34] Funatsu**
We've won. We've won this race.
**[16:40] Yamaguchi**
I'll do it. I'll do whatever it
takes to complete my final phase!
**[16:46] Funatsu**
Anyway, how is Yamaguchi-san
racing like this?
**[16:50] Funatsu**
I've always looked down on him,
but this is incredible.
**[16:53] Funatsu**
I've never seen him like this before.
**[16:55] Funatsu**
His roots are planted deep,
and he's blooming in all his glory.
**[17:01] Funatsu**
He's like a wild cherry tree
secretly blooming in spring
**[17:04] Funatsu**
up in the mountains, hidden behind the trees.
**[17:10] Aoyagi**
Is this the end?
**[17:12] Aoyagi**
Is it impossible for us to
win despite Junta's efforts?
**[17:22] Aoyagi**
Not yet!
**[17:24] Aoyagi**
Road races end when you give up!
**[17:28] Aoyagi**
Junta!
**[17:30] Aoyagi**
Junta, I've got an idea!
**[17:33] Teshima**
What?
**[17:34] Aoyagi**
There's no time to explain!
**[17:36] Aoyagi**
Let's do it!
**[17:38] Yamaguchi**
Two hundred meters left!
**[17:40] Funatsu**
The finish line is right there.
**[17:45] Funatsu**
Teshima? Did he catch up?
**[17:48] Funatsu**
No, it's not Teshima who's accelerating.
**[17:53] Funatsu**
It's Aoyagi!
**[17:55] Yamaguchi**
He's pushing him with his hand?
**[17:59] Yamaguchi**
So he's planning to push Teshima until
the last second before launching him.
**[18:04] Funatsu**
But he's just a climber.
**[18:06] Funatsu**
He'll lose speed the moment he's launched.
**[18:09] Funatsu**
Victory belongs to us sprinters!
**[18:12] Funatsu**
Where will he launch him?
**[18:15] Funatsu**
Well? Well? Well?
**[18:20] Funatsu**
Why isn't he launching?
**[18:22] Teshima**
Aoyagi...
**[18:23] Aoyagi**
Match your movements, gear,
and breathing to mine, Junta.
**[18:27] Aoyagi**
I'm going to keep pushing you at max
speed until we cross the last line.
**[18:32] Teshima**
The last line?
**[18:35] Aoyagi**
Here we go, Junta.
**[18:39] Funatsu**
Crap. If they pass us...
**[18:44] Teshima**
Fifty meters left.
**[18:46] Aoyagi**
Let's go, Junta. One last acceleration.
**[18:53] Aoyagi**
If I can make one wish,
**[18:57] Aoyagi**
then just for a little while,
**[19:00] Aoyagi**
take this pain away!
**[19:07] (Flashback) Aoyagi**
In that case...
**[19:09] (Flashback) Aoyagi**
Let's make it two.
**[19:11] Teshima**
Aoyagi, it's a little early,
but let me just say...
**[19:16] Teshima**
Thank you for fighting with
me for these last three years.
**[19:22] Teshima**
Thank you.
**[19:27] Aoyagi**
Junta, I can feel your
gratitude through my hand.
**[19:37] Yamaguchi**
I can't believe they did that.
**[19:42] Yamaguchi**
Funatsu...
**[19:44] Yamaguchi**
You did well. Thank you, Funatsu.
**[19:50] Yamaguchi**
We lost, but strangely, I feel satisfied.
**[19:55] Yamaguchi**
Now I can end my last Inter-High.
**[20:00] Yamaguchi**
But...
**[20:02] Yamaguchi**
I'm sorry, Ishigaki-san.
**[20:06] Yamaguchi**
I never managed to...
**[20:14] Yamaguchi**
become his conscience.
**[20:22] Mizuta**
M-Midousuji-kun, someone's
coming up from behind.
**[20:28] Komari**
Sohoku...
**[20:33] Mizuta**
Those two lost?
**[20:36] Midousuji**
What is it, Komari-kun?
**[20:40] Kishigami**
Nothing.
**[20:41] Kishigami**
Just thinking about how
**[20:44] Kishigami**
steadfastly riding through to the
end is a beautiful way to go, too.
**[20:48] Midousuji**
You mean Yamaguchi-kun, huh?
***SIGN*** Yowamushi Pedal
**[21:00] Teshima**
You really saved my neck.
**[21:02] Teshima**
Thank you, Hajime.
**[21:05] Aoyagi**
Sure thing, Junta.
**[21:07] Teshima**
Is your knee okay?
**[21:09] Aoyagi**
It hurts, but I'm okay. I feel amazing.
**[21:15] Aoyagi**
Look. You can see them.
**[21:19] Teshima**
That's... Those jerseys...
**[21:22] Aoyagi**
Yeah. It's Team Sohoku.
**[21:26] Onoda**
Th-They're here! It's them!
**[21:28] Imaizumi**
Teshima-san.
**[21:30] Naruko**
For real?
**[21:31] Kaburagi**
Aoyagi!
**[21:33] Teshima**
He's right. I feel amazing, too,
**[21:36] Teshima**
now that we've been reunited
with our fantastic team.
**[21:39] Teshima**
Onoda, Imaizumi, Naruko,
and Kaburagi, sorry I'm late.
**[21:44] Aoyagi**
I'm back with one of our climbers.
**[21:48] Onoda**
Now Team Sohoku has all six of its members.
**[21:53] Kaburagi**
Aoyagi! I'm glad you made it back, Aoyagi!
**[21:57] Aoyagi**
I keep telling you this,
but I'm a third-year,
**[22:00] Aoyagi**
and you're just a first-year.
**[22:02] Kaburagi**
There's something I wanted to tell you.
**[22:05] Aoyagi**
Are you listening? You're not listening.
**[22:07] Kaburagi**
Listen, I...
**[22:10] Kaburagi**
I'm so overwhelmed, I can't speak.
**[22:12] Imaizumi**
Come on!
**[22:14] Naruko**
This guy really is an idiot!
**[22:16] Onoda**
Teshima-san, I know you just caught up,
but there's no time to waste.
**[22:22] Teshima**
I'm sure. I see what's going on here.
**[22:26] Teshima**
You guys were supposed to be
riding with Hakone Academy,
**[22:30] Teshima**
but they're already gone.
**[22:33] (Flashback) Izumida**
Enough. We've waited long enough.
**[22:37] (Flashback) Izumida**
Let's go. Hakone Academy,
it's time to accelerate.
**[22:40] (Flashback) Izumida**
Abs!
**[22:40] (Flashback) All**
Yeah!
**[22:43] Imaizumi**
And then they disappeared from
our sight a few minutes ago.
**[22:47] Teshima**
I see.
**[22:49] Onoda**
Give us our orders, Teshima-san.
**[22:52] Teshima**
No matter how many climbers
we bring for the critical moment,
**[22:56] Teshima**
you don't stand a chance unless
you're at the front in road races.
**[23:00] Teshima**
Let's do whatever it takes to catch up.
**[23:03] Teshima**
These are your orders.
**[23:04] Teshima**
We'll catch up to Hakone Academy on
these flats before the mountains begin.
**[23:09] Teshima**
Kaburagi, get up there.
**[23:10] Kaburagi**
Yes, sir.
**[23:11] Teshima**
Naruko!
**[23:12] Naruko**
Yes, sir.
**[23:13] Teshima**
Aoyagi!
**[23:13] Aoyagi**
Yeah, Junta.
**[23:15] Teshima**
After them!
**[23:17] All**
Yeah!

**[00:05] Onoda**
Kaburagi-kun is incredible.
**[00:06] Onoda**
He's so fast.
**[00:08] Kaburagi**
This is crazy.
**[00:09] Kaburagi**
Cooperating with Hakone Academy
was tons of fun,
**[00:12] Kaburagi**
but nothing beats racing with
all six of our teammates!
**[00:17] Naruko**
Are you stupid, Kabu?
**[00:19] Naruko**
How can you be having fun when
we're facing a tough situation?
**[00:22] Kaburagi**
Oh, sorry.
**[00:23] Naruko**
I'm having fun, too, though.
**[00:26] Kaburagi**
Huh?
**[00:27] Naruko**
Check me out.
**[00:28] Naruko**
Behold the blazing fast speed
of the flashy man from Naniwa,
**[00:32] Naruko**
former sprinter and speedster
Naruko Shoukichi!
**[00:35] Kaburagi**
He's so fast!
**[00:37] Onoda**
We all feel the same way.
**[00:40] Onoda**
We're in a strenuous and difficult situation,
but when all six of us are together...
**[00:46] Onoda**
I feel so reassured.
**[00:49] Onoda**
It makes this grueling course and
brutal time feel strangely fun.
**[00:56] Onoda**
Imaizumi-kun, have you noticed?
**[00:59] Onoda**
This is the first time the six of us
have ridden together at this Inter-High
**[01:03] Onoda**
since the first day's sprint.
**[01:10] Imaizumi**
Is that right? No wonder
my legs feel so light.
**[01:13] Onoda**
Yeah.
**[01:15] Aoyagi**
Let's swap.
**[01:18] Naruko**
Why do you look so calm?
**[01:20] Naruko**
Aren't you enjoying this
super-difficult situation?
**[01:24] Aoyagi**
How could I not?
**[01:26] Aoyagi**
Riding with the whole team feels amazing.
**[01:31] Teshima**
This really does feel amazing, but...
**[01:35] Teshima**
It won't last long.
**[01:39] Teshima**
The end of the Inter-High is approaching.
**[01:43] Teshima**
We won't all get to reach what lies ahead.

Yes, sir!
**[03:28] Fan A**

**[03:35] Koga**
Hey!

**[03:36] Teshima**

**[03:37] Danchiku**
Sohoku is the second team here!
**[03:38] Sugimoto**
The whole team's together!
**[03:39] Teshima**
Go gather our supplies by yourself!
**[03:42] Imaizumi**
Roger that!
**[03:44] Imaizumi**
Put everything together. I'm picking
up supplies for all six of us.
**[03:47] Miki**
Got it.
**[03:49] Miki**
Good luck!
**[03:50] Sugimoto**
Catch up to them, Imaizumi!
**[03:52] Imaizumi**
You got it. The three guys in front...
**[03:55] Imaizumi**
are currently doing their
best to make that happen.
**[04:00] Koga**
They finally got all six members
together in the eleventh hour.
**[04:03] Sugimoto**
Koga-san...
**[04:05] Koga**
But...
**[04:06] Sugimoto**
You're right. That doesn't
guarantee they'll catch up.
**[04:11] Sugimoto**
But I believe in you, Imaizumi.
**[04:15] Koga**
We'll see how much it cost them
to wait for Teshima and Aoyagi.
**[04:20] Koga**
But I'm sure you'll work
hard regardless, Junta.
**[04:24] Aya**
Do you think they'll catch
up to Hakone Academy?
**[04:26] Miki**
Yeah. At the very least,
those six guys think they will.
**[04:34] Danchiku**
Aoyagi-san was pulling after bringing
Teshima-san back to the team.
**[04:38] Danchiku**
He's still riding after his leg
suffered all that?
**[04:43] Danchiku**
Aoyagi-san, I'm deeply moved.
**[04:51] Aoyagi**
We're definitely closing the gap.
**[04:53] Onoda**
I'm taking this.
**[04:55] Aoyagi**
But naturally, Hakone's riding
at full power, too.
**[04:59] Aoyagi**
If we want to close that gap completely...
**[05:06] Aoyagi**
I'll have to give 110%.
**[05:10] Kaburagi**
Wh-Whoa... How is he pulling so fast?
**[05:16] Aoyagi**
Go, Aoyagi Hajime!
**[05:19] Aoyagi**
The number one in your name
stands for first place.
**[05:22] Aoyagi**
You don't need to leave
anything left in the tank!
**[05:25] Aoyagi**
You put on the best performance you could
for the best team you could ask for!
**[05:29] Aoyagi**
You don't need to hold anything else back!
**[05:37] Naruko**
Kabu, what are you cryin' for?
**[05:42] Kaburagi**
I don't know, either. Huh?
**[05:46] Kaburagi**
Wait, why am I crying? I don't know.
**[05:49] Kaburagi**
I respect Aoyagi-san more
than anyone in the world.
**[05:54] Kaburagi**
Watching him ride at full
power in front of me...
**[05:58] Kaburagi**
reminds me of everything that's happened.
**[06:04] Kaburagi**
For some reason, I started crying.
**[06:09] Aoyagi**
Do you see that, Kaburagi?
**[06:11] Aoyagi**
That's the finish line I've been racing
toward for these past three years.
**[06:19] Aoyagi**
I'm almost there.
**[06:21] Aoyagi**
Good job making it this far, knee.
**[06:25] Aoyagi**
Once we catch up to them,
you don't have to move anymore.
**[06:33] Kaburagi**
What are these tears for?
**[06:36] Kaburagi**
For some reason, watching
Aoyagi-san ride is making me cry.
**[06:41] Naruko**
Hotshot.
**[06:42] Imaizumi**
I know.
**[06:44] Imaizumi**
So does Onoda.
**[06:46] Imaizumi**
He's giving 110%. This is his last ride.
**[06:51] Kaburagi**
What do you mean, last ride?
**[06:54] Imaizumi**
I meant exactly what I said.
**[06:55] Kaburagi**
What?
**[06:57] Imaizumi**
It always happens on the third and final day.
**[07:01] Imaizumi**
There comes a moment when
your teammates drop out.
**[07:05] Kaburagi**
What? Drop out? What are you talking about?
**[07:09] Kaburagi**
Aoyagi-san is strong like steel.
**[07:12] Kaburagi**
He's always been there in front
of me to help and lead me.
**[07:18] Kaburagi**
It's not possible. I believe in miracles.
**[07:21] Kaburagi**
The third-years caught up to us earlier.
**[07:24] Kaburagi**
I believe he can do it again!
**[07:26] Imaizumi**
Face forward, Kaburagi.
**[07:29] Imaizumi**
Accept the truth.
**[07:31] Imaizumi**
Even if your brain refuses to
understand it, your body knows.
**[07:36] Imaizumi**
That's why you're crying.
**[07:40] Imaizumi**
Everyone's moved by the sight
of a man finishing his job.
**[07:47] Imaizumi**
What you should be doing now
is watching his final moments.
**[07:52] Imaizumi**
You should be listening
to his hopes and dreams...
**[07:56] Imaizumi**
and taking them on with
all your heart and soul.
**[07:59] Kaburagi**
Aoyagi-san...
**[08:02] Kaburagi**
Damn it. Aoyagi-san...
**[08:06] Kaburagi**
Aoyagi-san!
**[08:09] Aoyagi**
You're always such a noisy chattermouth.
**[08:13] Aoyagi**
You're energetic and stupid.
**[08:15] Aoyagi**
Thanks to you, this has been
a lively Inter-High, Kaburagi.
**[08:22] Aoyagi**
It wasn't for long, but I'm glad
we got to ride together in the end.
**[08:35] Kaburagi**
Aoyagi-san!
**[08:40] Kaburagi**
Aoyagi-san has fallen.
**[08:43] Kaburagi**
He's been separated from the team.
**[08:45] Kaburagi**
And...
**[08:48] Kaburagi**
We just caught up to Hakone Academy!
**[08:51] Doubashi**
You came, orange!
**[08:54] Izumida**
I thought we'd pulled ahead completely,
**[08:57] Izumida**
but this year's Sohoku seems
to be rather persistent again.
**[09:01] Izumida**
You did well to catch up.
**[09:03] Izumida**
Allow me to congratulate you.
**[09:05] Izumida**
The entrance to the mountains
is 3.3 kilometers ahead.
**[09:08] Izumida**
If you hadn't caught up to us by then,
**[09:11] Izumida**
the odds of you winning this race
would've been close to zero.
**[09:17] Izumida**
Your team would've been scattered by
the steep, narrow, and long climb.
**[09:22] Izumida**
It was the dispassionate and correct choice
**[09:25] Izumida**
to give up one of your teammates
to catch up to us now.
**[09:30] Kaburagi**
Don't call it a dispassionate choice.
**[09:32] Kaburagi**
Don't talk about him like a
card or piece we sacrificed.
**[09:36] Kaburagi**
No one is stronger than Aoyagi-san!
**[09:39] Kaburagi**
He's faster and kinder, too!
**[09:42] Izumida**
He didn't seem to make much
of an impression, though.
**[09:45] Kaburagi**
Don't you know?
**[09:47] Kaburagi**
That's what makes Aoyagi-san so cool.
**[09:52] Aoyagi**
I'm counting on you, Naruko,
Imaizumi, Onoda, and Kaburagi.
**[10:02] Aoyagi**
I don't have the strength
left to ride or even stand.
**[10:15] Aoyagi**
My wheels have stopped.
**[10:19] Aoyagi**
I'm surprised I was able to make
it this far on the third day.
**[10:24] Aoyagi**
It's over.
**[10:25] Aoyagi**
My Inter-High is over.
**[10:31] (Flashback) Teshima**
What?
**[10:32] (Flashback) Teshima**
Don't conserve your strength?
**[10:36] (Flashback) Aoyagi**
Even if we meet up with our team and end up
battling or chasing after Hakone Academy,
**[10:44] (Flashback) Aoyagi**
don't conserve my strength.
**[10:46] (Flashback) Aoyagi**
Use me without hesitation.
**[10:48] (Flashback) Teshima**
But...
**[10:52] (Flashback) Teshima**
You're pulling me now after that
reckless sprint on that knee.
**[10:57] (Flashback) Teshima**
You've ridden enough already.
**[10:59] (Flashback) Teshima**
If you go any harder...
**[11:01] (Flashback) Aoyagi**
I'm prepared to drop out.
**[11:07] (Flashback) Aoyagi**
This is a race.
**[11:09] Teshima**
*Aoyagi, you're smiling...*
**[11:12] (Flashback) Aoyagi**
Set your kindness aside. You're the captain.
**[11:16] (Flashback) Aoyagi**
If you waver, so will the team.
**[11:20] (Flashback) Aoyagi**
Don't hesitate, Junta.
**[11:22] (Flashback) Aoyagi**
Then I'll feel better about saying it
at the end without any reservations.
**[11:27] Aoyagi**
Thank you, Junta.
**[11:31] Aoyagi**
Because of you, I was able
to keep riding until the end.
**[11:36] Aoyagi**
Thank you.
**[11:38] Teshima**
Don't turn back, Naruko.
**[11:40] Teshima**
We've been entrusted with a mission!
**[11:43] Teshima**
He wants us to move forward!
**[11:46] Teshima**
We should be facing forward, toward our
opponents and the finish line ahead of us!
**[11:52] Naruko**
Teshima-san, you're more desperate
to look back than any of us.
**[11:57] Naruko**
Yes, sir!
**[12:00] Izumida**
Then let us begin.
**[12:02] Izumida**
Go, Doubashi.
**[12:05] Doubashi**
Am I correct in assuming what
this timing means, Izumida-san?
**[12:11] Izumida**
Yes. Pull as hard as you can.
**[12:15] Izumida**
Leave them in our dust.
**[12:17] Doubashi**
Roger that, Izumida-san.
**[12:19] Kaburagi**
No, you don't.
**[12:21] Kaburagi**
Aoyagi-san pushed himself until he fell
so we could catch up to you.
**[12:25] Kaburagi**
We're not letting you get away.
**[12:26] Kaburagi**
We'll chase you to the ends of the earth!
**[12:31] Aoyagi**
That's it.
**[12:33] Aoyagi**
Ride straight ahead, Kaburagi.

I told you to call me Doubashi-san!
**[13:09] Doubashi**
After battling me on the first day,
and ending up exhausted on the second,
**[13:12] Doubashi**
I didn't think you'd be back.
**[13:15] Doubashi**
But I'll commend you for surviving this long.
**[13:18] Doubashi**
Not bad for a first-year.
**[13:19] Doubashi**
Seems like you're more than just
an idiot with a full head of steam.
**[13:23] Doubashi**
I bet you take practice
surprisingly seriously.
**[13:26] Kaburagi**
What?
**[13:30] Kaburagi**
Absolutely not! I never practice in secret!
**[13:33] Kaburagi**
After all, I'm a genius!
**[13:35] Doubashi**
Yeah, right. Someone who doesn't practice
wouldn't have made it this far.

It's the right thing to do.

**[15:36] Fan C**

**[15:38] Fan A**
No, Hakone Academy was a little faster.
**[15:43] Doubashi**
That was an impressive
display of patience, orange.
**[15:46] Kaburagi**
Of course.
**[15:47] Kaburagi**
Aoyagi-san taught me through his riding
and trusted me to pull the team.
**[15:53] Kaburagi**
So...
**[15:55] Kaburagi**
My race against you lasts until
we reach the mountains, not here!
**[16:01] Doubashi**
So our race will take place over
the remaining two kilometers.
**[16:06] Onoda**
Teshima-san...
**[16:07] Onoda**
Kaburagi-kun has grown!
**[16:10] Teshima**
Yeah, he's a promising first-year.
**[16:14] Teshima**
He'll grow straight and true.
He's got the most potential.
**[16:17] Teshima**
Aoyagi and Koga said the same thing.
**[16:20] Onoda**
Yeah.
**[16:22] Onoda**
What is this feeling?
**[16:25] Onoda**
My chest tickles and feels hot.
**[16:29] Onoda**
Kaburagi-kun used to be so
focused on his own victory,
**[16:34] Onoda**
but now he's supporting his
teammates and carrying the hopes
**[16:38] Onoda**
entrusted to him by his teammates.
**[16:39] Onoda**
He's riding the Sohoku way with
his entire heart and soul.
**[16:45] Kaburagi**
You're not getting away
from me, Hakone Academy.
**[16:48] Doubashi**
I'll snap your hopes in half, orange.
**[16:53] Onoda**
He's grown.
**[16:55] Onoda**
He's getting stronger.
**[16:58] Onoda**
And I'm experiencing that first-hand.
**[17:01] Onoda**
It's incredible. Bicycles really are amazing.
**[17:06] Onoda**
We carry on the hopes of our teammates
and let our riding do the talking.
**[17:10] Onoda**
I'll keep moving forward, too.

has suddenly increased.
**[17:24] Kuroda**
That can't be good.
**[17:27] Izumida**
Fine.
**[17:28] Izumida**
It's time. Go, Doubashi.
**[17:32] Izumida**
Turn their raised morale into despair.
**[17:42] Doubashi**
Sorry, orange. Playtime is over.
**[17:46] Doubashi**
This jersey is too tight.
**[17:50] Doubashi**
I'm the man who can't be
contained, Doubashi Masakiyo.
**[17:55] Doubashi**
I am right.
**[17:58] Kaburagi**
Damn it. I'll catch up, no matter what.
**[18:01] Kaburagi**
He can't pull ahead of me.
**[18:07] Kaburagi**
You're kidding! Damn it.
**[18:08] Kaburagi**
Why is my leg cramping now?
**[18:11] Kaburagi**
Ow! Damn it.
**[18:12] Kaburagi**
Come on, fix yourself.
Fix yourself this instant!
**[18:16] Izumida**
Perhaps it was too great a
responsibility for a first-year.
**[18:20] Izumida**
Unfortunately for you, we've won this race.
**[18:24] Teshima**
Don't you know, Izumida?
**[18:26] Teshima**

**[18:45] Imaizumi**
Let's go, Naruko. Don't fall behind.
**[18:47] Naruko**
No, you.
**[18:49] Onoda**
You can lean on me.
**[18:50] Kaburagi**
Onoda-san!
**[18:51] Onoda**
Fix your leg while you're doing that.
**[18:53] Kaburagi**
Thank you.
**[18:56] Kaburagi**
Damn it. What is this?
**[18:59] Kaburagi**
Our twin aces are pulling the team, and our
best climber is letting me lean on him.
**[19:03] Kaburagi**
This is awesome. I'm so hyped up.
**[19:07] Kaburagi**
Okay, all better.
**[19:09] Onoda**
Great.
**[19:10] Imaizumi**
Kaburagi, you're going to catch up, right?
**[19:13] Imaizumi**
You're not going to lose
to Doubashi, are you?
**[19:15] Kaburagi**
No, sir.
**[19:16] Naruko**
Go on and show off. Seize the spotlight.
**[19:19] Naruko**
A man's gotta be flashy.
**[19:21] Kaburagi**
Yes, sir.
**[19:22] Onoda**
Good luck, Kaburagi-kun.
**[19:24] Kaburagi**
Yes, sir!
**[19:29] Kaburagi**
Thanks.
**[19:30] Kaburagi**
I thought I'd say it beforehand.
**[19:34] Kaburagi**
I'm going all-out after this,
**[19:36] Kaburagi**
so I probably won't be able to speak
at the end due to lack of oxygen.
**[19:42] Kaburagi**
I can say it clearly now.
**[19:45] Kaburagi**
Sohoku is the ultimate team.
**[19:48] Kaburagi**
So I'll ride for my team until
my legs can't move anymore.
**[19:59] Onoda**
Imaizumi-kun!
**[20:00] Imaizumi**
Yeah.
**[20:01] Kaburagi**
I'm gonna catch up to you, Hakone Academy.
**[20:05] Imaizumi**

**[20:08] Imaizumi**
He figured out what his role is.
**[20:10] Imaizumi**

**[20:12] Imaizumi**
He'll be leaving the team soon.
**[20:17] Onoda**
Kaburagi-kun!
**[20:19] Onoda**

**[20:35] Onoda**
I know that.
**[20:36] Onoda**
I know that, but...
**[20:39] Kaburagi**
What is it, Onoda-san?
**[20:41] Kaburagi**
Are you wondering why we haven't
caught up to Hakone Academy yet?
**[20:44] Onoda**
No, it's not that.
**[20:46] Kaburagi**
It figures last year's champion
would have harsh words for me.
**[20:51] Kaburagi**
It's all right. We're almost there.
**[20:54] Kaburagi**
When I accelerate, I imagine giant gears.
**[21:00] Kaburagi**
When those mesh together completely,
I get a huge burst of speed.
**[21:06] Kaburagi**
I think I've got this.
**[21:07] Kaburagi**
Mesh together, mesh together, mesh together.
**[21:11] Kaburagi**
Mesh together, mesh together, mesh together.
**[21:15] Kaburagi**
They're in.
**[21:17] Kaburagi**
Time to accelerate!
**[21:19] Kaburagi**
Onoda-san, watch this!
**[21:26] Onoda**
Kaburagi-kun's trying so hard,
but there's nothing I can do for him.
**[21:32] Teshima**
Does it hurt, Onoda?
**[21:35] Teshima**
Does it hurt not being able
to do anything to help
**[21:38] Teshima**
the first-year who's giving his all?
**[21:41] Teshima**
It must. After all, you've
never had a junior before.
**[21:47] Teshima**
In times like these, Onoda, you watch them.
**[21:51] Onoda**
Huh?
**[21:52] Teshima**
Watch his growth, failures,
and attempts closely.
**[21:57] Teshima**
And when he uses up everything
he's got to finish the job,
**[22:01] Teshima**
shower him with praise.
**[22:03] Teshima**
That's all you need to do.
**[22:06] Teshima**
Juniors always want their
seniors to watch them.
**[22:13] Teshima**
The paths they've walked until now,
**[22:15] Teshima**
and the paths they'll walk in the future.
**[22:18] Onoda**
We want our seniors to watch the
paths we'll walk in the future.
**[22:22] Onoda**
I need to raise my head.
**[22:25] Kaburagi**
Come on, turn!
**[22:28] Onoda**
I have to watch him.
**[22:30] Onoda**
That's what I can do for Kaburagi-kun.
**[22:34] Onoda**
That's right. Naruko-kun said the same thing.
**[22:37] (Flashback) Naruko**
So pass on their kindness to your juniors.
**[22:42] Onoda**
You can do it, Kaburagi-kun.
**[22:44] Onoda**
Go, Kaburagi-kun!
**[22:47] Onoda**
I'm watching you, Kaburagi-kun!
**[22:51] Onoda**
No, Kaburagi Issa!
**[22:56] Kaburagi**
What's gotten into you, Onoda-san?
**[22:59] Kaburagi**
You suddenly dropped the honorifics.
**[23:01] Kaburagi**
That really hypes me up!
**[23:06] Kaburagi**
After all, I joined Sohoku
because I looked up to you!
**[23:15] Yuuto**
They're approaching.

**[02:06] Izumida**
Yuki...
**[02:07] Izumida**
I'm not stopping him.
**[02:08] Izumida**
As another sprinter, I know...
**[02:13] Izumida**
he's currently experiencing
**[02:16] Izumida**
total satisfaction.
**[02:21] Izumida**
I can't stop him.
**[02:23] Izumida**
On the first day,
**[02:25] Izumida**
he won the sprint.
**[02:28] Izumida**
On the second day, he pulled
the team through the flats.
**[02:31] Izumida**
On the third day, he pulled our
cooperating teams, and now...
**[02:35] Izumida**
He's attempting to complete his final job.
**[02:40] Manami**
Bashi-kun...

**[02:44] (Flashback) Izumida**
Two second-years will be joining
our Inter-High team this year.
**[02:48] (Flashback) Izumida**
Manami and Doubashi.
**[02:51] (Flashback) Hakogaku A**
Manami the airhead and
Doubashi the bulldozer, huh?
**[02:55] (Flashback) Hakogaku B**
They're total opposites.
**[02:58] (Flashback) Izumida**
Could the two of you tell us your goals?
**[03:00] (Flashback) Manami**
Okay.
**[03:00] Doubashi**
Yes, sir, Izumida-san.
**[03:02] (Flashback) Manami**
Well, you see—
**[03:02] Doubashi**
I want to make Hakone Academy—
**[03:06] Doubashi**
I want to make Hakone Academy—
**[03:06] (Flashback) Manami**
I'm thinking about following
orders a little more.
**[03:11] Doubashi**
I want to make Hakone Academy—
**[03:11] (Flashback) Manami**
I'd like to win King of the Mountains
at Irohazaka, and...
**[03:14] (Flashback) Doubashi**
Stop talking while I'm talking, Manami.
**[03:17] (Flashback) Doubashi**
I'll speak first, got it?
**[03:19] (Flashback) Manami**
I already more or less
said what I wanted to say.
**[03:22] (Flashback) Doubashi**
What?!
**[03:24] (Flashback) Hakogaku C**
They're like oil and water.
**[03:27] Doubashi**
*Manami Sangaku, huh?*
**[03:30] Doubashi**
* We've never talked much,*
* but I guess that's different.*
**[03:38] (Flashback) Manami**
You want me to tell you about the Inter-High?
**[03:40] (Flashback) Doubashi**
That's right. I wanna know what you
thought about riding in that race.
**[03:45] (Flashback) Doubashi**
Tell me all about it.
**[03:48] (Flashback) Doubashi**
I don't know jack about the Inter-High.
**[03:52] (Flashback) Doubashi**
Last year, I wasn't even
allowed to go to the course.
**[03:57] (Flashback) Doubashi**
So I haven't seen it for myself.
**[04:00] (Flashback) Doubashi**
I don't know how it feels.
**[04:02] (Flashback) Manami**
It's lively. Everyone waves little flags.
**[04:05] (Flashback) Doubashi**
Not that. I'm asking about
how you felt on the inside.
**[04:08] (Flashback) Doubashi**
You've gotta have something for me,
**[04:10] (Flashback) Doubashi**
like a "watch out for this
or that" kind of thing.
**[04:13] (Flashback) Doubashi**
Anything helps.
**[04:15] (Flashback) Doubashi**
I have to achieve something.
**[04:19] (Flashback) Doubashi**
I go to practices and run simulations,
**[04:22] (Flashback) Doubashi**
but it's like a tiny thorn stuck in my heart.
**[04:26] (Flashback) Doubashi**
I fear the Inter-High.
**[04:30] (Flashback) Manami**
But it's fun.
**[04:32] (Flashback) Doubashi**
I'm looking for something more specific!
**[04:35] (Flashback) Manani**
It's fun. You'll experience
all kinds of emotions.
**[04:39] (Flashback) Doubashi**
What?
**[04:40] (Flashback) Manami**
Joy and sadness. Happiness and suffering.
**[04:44] (Flashback) Manami**
You'll even experience strange
coincidences and what feels like fate.
**[04:48] (Flashback) Manami**
There are goodbyes, loneliness, frustration,
impatience, and even dread, too.
**[04:53] (Flashback) Manami**
But despite all that,
**[04:55] (Flashback) Manami**
everyone pours their best efforts
into moments they'll never see again
**[04:58] (Flashback) Manami**
as they ride together toward the same place.
**[05:01] (Flashback) Manami**
The tiny lone gate at the finish line.
**[05:09] (Flashback) Manami**
I feel like that's how all bicycle races are,
**[05:13] (Flashback) Manami**
but I get the strongest version
of that feeling at the Inter-High.
**[05:17] (Flashback) Manami**
Right? Doesn't that sound fun?
**[05:21] (Flashback) Manami**
Since you're such an emotional guy,
I'm sure you'll really enjoy it.
**[05:28] Doubashi**
*What kind of answer is that?*
**[05:29] Doubashi**
*I don't get it.*
**[05:32] Doubashi**
* But in other words, you're telling me not*
* to be afraid and to have fun, Manami.*
**[05:39] Manami**
How is it, Bashi-kun?
**[05:41] Manami**
I bet you're having the time
of your life right now.
**[05:46] Doubashi**
Manami, I feel amazing right now.
**[05:51] Doubashi**
I've been falling in and
out of consciousness.
**[05:54] Doubashi**
My entire body hurts. I'm at my limit.
**[05:56] Doubashi**
But I don't care about any of that!
**[06:00] Doubashi**
Five hundred meters to go.
**[06:02] Doubashi**
My legs will stop turning soon,
but I have no regrets!
**[06:07] Doubashi**
This is the ultimate jersey,
the ultimate race, and the ultimate end!
**[06:13] Doubashi**
Come to think of it, Arakita-san
said something about this...
**[06:17] (Flashback) Doubashi**
I'll do anything. Please.
**[06:20] (Flashback) Arakita**
Shaddup. You shout too much.
**[06:24] (Flashback) Doubashi**
Sorry, Arakita-san.
**[06:27] (Flashback) Arakita**
Come to think of it,
you didn't get to go this year.
**[06:29] (Flashback) Doubashi**
No, sir.
**[06:31] (Flashback) Doubashi**
I'm determined to ride in
the Inter-High next year.
**[06:39] (Flashback) Doubashi**
I only know about the Inter-High
through the team's records.
**[06:42] (Flashback) Arakita**
Then that's all there is to it.
**[06:44] (Flashback) Arakita**
Nothing happened besides
what's recorded in the logs.
**[06:48] (Flashback) Doubashi**
No, but...
**[06:51] (Flashback) Doubashi**
I see...
**[06:56] (Flashback) Arakita**
There is one thing, though
I doubt it'll help you at all.
**[07:01] (Flashback) Arakita**
You can't understand it unless
you experience it for yourself.
**[07:04] (Flashback) Arakita**
I certainly didn't.
**[07:06] (Flashback) Arakita**
But if you go, you'll see.
**[07:10] (Flashback) Arakita**
Riding at the front in the final
stage of the Inter-High...
**[07:14] (Flashback) Arakita**
feels unbelievably awesome.
**[07:18] Doubashi**
He was right. This is unbelievable!
**[07:21] Doubashi**
This is exhilarating, Arakita-san!
**[07:24] Doubashi**
Riding at the front in the final stage
of the Inter-High is electrifying!
**[07:30] Doubashi**
I won't stop.
**[07:32] Doubashi**
I won't stop pedaling.
**[07:34] Doubashi**
I'll keep charging forward.
**[07:35] Doubashi**
My dignity demands I perform this final act!
**[07:38] Fan A**
Hakone Academy's in front!
**[07:40] Fan B**
Sohoku's here, too!
**[07:42] Fan B**
They're going as fast as they can
so they can send off their climbers
**[07:44] Fan B**
from the best possible position!
**[07:48] Kaburagi**
Turn faster! Faster, gears!
**[08:06] Onoda**
Kaburagi-kun, I've caught up
to Hakone Academy's last rider.
**[08:10] Naruko**
Kabu!
**[08:11] Imaizumi**
Kaburagi.
**[08:11] Teshima**
Kaburagi!
**[08:13] Kaburagi**
Aoyagi-san said Sohoku always gets
things done in the nick of time.
**[08:18] Kaburagi**
So I'll catch up to Doubashi in
the front in the nick of time!
**[08:25] Yuuto**
Sohoku's accelerating even more.
**[08:27] Fan A**
Three hundred meters left!
**[08:30] Fan B**
Two hundred meters!
**[08:32] Fan C**
One hundred meters!
**[08:33] Kuroda**
We're almost at the mountains. Get ready.
**[08:33] Teshima**
We're almost at the mountains. Get ready.
**[08:39] All**
Zero!
**[08:43] Doubashi**
Go, climbers!
**[08:43] Kaburagi**
Go, climbers!
**[08:46] Sohoku**
You did great, Kaburagi!
**[08:48] Onoda**
Thank you!
**[08:52] Manami**
Was that tough? Did it make you happy?
**[08:55] Manami**
Didn't you experience all
kinds of emotions, Bashi-kun?
**[08:59] Doubashi**
The only thing I felt was joy.
**[09:09] Doubashi**
I never imagined, orange...
**[09:14] Kaburagi**
Huh?
**[09:15] Doubashi**
...that you'd catch up to me at the last second.
**[09:21] Kaburagi**
Of course I did.

**[09:32] Fan B**
It's finally time for the climb.
**[09:33] Fan C**
Sohoku's got four riders.
**[09:35] Fan D**
Onoda's pulling his team.
**[09:37] Fan E**
He's the little climber who took
the final mountain finish line
**[09:41] Fan E**
last year as a first-year.
**[09:42] Fan E**
He's the King of the Mountains,
Onoda Sakamichi.
**[09:44] Fan F**
Third-year Teshima Junta, who performed
unexpectedly well in the mountains
**[09:47] Fan F**
on the first day, is right behind him.
**[09:49] Fan F**
Second-year ace Imaizumi Shunsuke.
**[09:51] Fan E**
Red and flashy Naruko Shoukichi.
**[09:54] Fan F**
Wow, Sohoku's in great shape.
***SIGN*** GoGo! Chiba
**[09:56] Fan F**
With this team, they're sure
to do it again this year.
**[09:59] Fan E**
Yeah, they could win the whole thing.
**[10:02] Fan G**
No, look at the Hakone Academy
team behind them.
**[10:09] Fan F**
Hakone's fastest deliveryman,
third-year Kuroda Yukinari.
**[10:13] Fan E**
The third-year who seized victory on the
first day, the towering ace Ashikiba Takuto.
**[10:19] Fan E**
The second-year who wears Hakone Academy's
mountain ace number, Manami Sangaku.
**[10:25] Fan G**
First-year climber and Peak Hornet,
**[10:27] Fan G**
younger brother of the Straight
Line Demon, Shinkai Yuuto.
**[10:31] Fan H**
They're incredible.
**[10:32] Fan I**
Yeah, their aura is out of this world.
**[10:35] Fan E**
I don't feel like we can beat them.
**[10:37] Fan E**
At least hang in there until the end, Sohoku.
**[10:42] Yuuto**
The road winds as it gains elevation.
**[10:47] Onoda**
Shinkai-kun...
**[10:49] Yuuto**
I wonder which mountain it is
that we can see ahead of us.
**[10:54] Yuuto**
Did you know...
**[10:55] Yuuto**
that this route is apparently an
old road to a famous hot spring?
**[11:02] Yuuto**
Do you like hot springs?
**[11:05] Teshima**
Be careful, Onoda.
He's trying to disrupt our pace.
**[11:10] Yuuto**
Is that a yes?
**[11:13] Onoda**
That's too close!
**[11:14] Imaizumi**
They're already attacking.
**[11:16] Naruko**
So that's Shinkai Yuuto.
**[11:18] Teshima**
He's acting sooner than expected.
**[11:19] Teshima**
He shows no mercy or hesitation.
**[11:24] Yuuto**
You've been pulling your team since we
entered the mountains, King of the Mountains.
**[11:29] Yuuto**
Why is that?
**[11:31] Yuuto**
Why would your team have their
number one rider pull in the mountains
**[11:35] Yuuto**
when they should be saving his strength?
**[11:37] Yuuto**
Is this your strategy? Or is it...
**[11:43] Onoda**
Shinkai-kun accelerated.
**[11:45] Naruko**
Crap!
**[11:46] Teshima**
They're attacking as soon as
we've entered the mountains?
**[11:55] Teshima**
But we can't allow him to go without a fight.
**[12:00] Teshima**
Go, Onoda and Imaizumi.
**[12:02] Imaizumi & Onoda**
Yes, sir.
**[12:09] Yuuto**
They're fast. Dangerously fast.
**[12:18] Yuuto**
The King of the Mountains
and Imaizumi-san the ace.
**[12:21] Imaizumi**
There's no reason to rush, Shinkai.
**[12:23] Imaizumi**
We've got plenty of mountain to climb.
**[12:26] Imaizumi**
Or are you eager to visit
the hot springs up ahead?
**[12:31] Yuuto**
I suppose you're right.
**[12:33] Yuuto**
It'll feel better once
I've worked up a sweat.
**[12:39] Teshima**
We survived Hakone Academy's
first attack, but...
**[12:43] Kuroda**
Aw, man. It didn't work.
**[12:45] Manami**
The timing was good, though.
**[12:48] Ashikiba**
Imaizumi's fast, too.
**[12:51] Teshima**
Manami, Ashikiba, Kuroda...
**[12:53] Teshima**
After sending Shinkai alone,
they've got strength to spare.
**[12:57] Teshima**
We sent Onoda and Imaizumi,
so it's just me and Naruko.
**[13:00] Teshima**
And...
**[13:03] Teshima**
Naruko, have you noticed?
**[13:05] Naruko**
Of course. One guy you don't normally
see in the mountains is taggin' along.
**[13:11] Teshima**
Hakone Academy captain and
sprinter, Izumida Touichirou.
**[13:16] Izumida**
What are you staring at?
**[13:19] Izumida**
I practiced with Hakone
Academy for three years.
**[13:23] Izumida**
I'm capable of keeping up
on a little climb like this.
**[13:26] Teshima**
What's their angle?
**[13:28] Teshima**
It's true that Izumida left the
flats entirely up to Doubashi
**[13:33] Teshima**
and didn't pull a single time.
**[13:36] Teshima**
Is this your strategy?
**[13:38] Izumida**
Since this is my last Inter-High,
I thought I'd enjoy the mountain view.
**[13:45] Izumida**
Andy and Frank are delighted, too.
**[13:49] Imaizumi**
Five...
**[13:50] Onoda**
This year, Hakone Academy's bringing
five men into the mountains.
**[13:56] Miki**
Mt. Haruna.
**[13:58] Miki**
The third and final day's race
that started at Lake Haruna
**[14:02] Miki**
heads west along the gently sloping
hills of National Route 145
**[14:06] Miki**
after a long downhill.
**[14:09] Miki**
It turns right at Sukawa Bridge
over the Agatsuma River
**[14:12] Miki**
and heads north along National Route 292.
**[14:16] Miki**
It takes a left at the fork beyond that point
**[14:20] Miki**
and rises along a steep mountain road.
**[14:23] Miki**
Beyond the trees on that
steep and narrow path
**[14:28] Miki**
is an old hot spring town
surrounded by mountains.
**[14:32] Miki**
At 1,156 meters above sea level,
30,000 liters of water gush forth every minute.
**[14:38] Aya**
Oh, I know.
**[14:39] Aya**
You're talking about the
Kusatsu Hot Springs, right?
**[14:41] Miki**
Correct.
**[14:42] Aya**
That place is famous.
**[14:44] Miki**
But we'll be passing through today.
**[14:46] Aya**
What? That's not where the finish line is?
**[14:48] Miki**
Nope.
**[14:49] Aya**
We won't get to visit the hot springs?
**[14:51] Aya**
No Yubatake? No Yumomi?
**[14:54] Koga**
The Kusatsu Hot Springs are at
1,100 meters above sea level,
**[14:58] Koga**
but there's an even taller
mountain providing the area
**[15:02] Koga**
with an abundance of water
and geothermal energy.
**[15:04] Koga**
It's known as the Mt. Kusatsu-Shirane.
**[15:07] Koga**
This Inter-High's finish line
**[15:09] Koga**
is at the top of that mountain,
**[15:11] Koga**
at over than 2,000 meters above sea level.
***SIGN*** Highest Point in the Japanese National Highway System

On the border between Gunma and
Nagano Prefectures at Shibu Toge Pass,

the highest point in the
Japanese national highway system,
**[15:22] Koga**
the finish line is at
2,172 meters above sea level.
**[15:26] Aya**
The highest point? That's where
they put the finish line?
**[15:30] Aya**
Wait, there's way more mountain ahead.
**[15:33] Aya**
They've got so much farther to climb.
**[15:35] Miki**
You're right.
**[15:37] Koga**
On the final climb after Kusatsu,
**[15:40] Koga**
the roads are wide, but not only
is there hardly anywhere to rest,
**[15:44] Koga**
but the trees are short,
and the wind is strong.
**[15:47] Koga**
If they fall behind on the gentle
climb leading to Kusatsu,
**[15:52] Koga**
Team Sohoku will have no chance of winning.
**[15:55] Naruko**
This ain't good.
**[15:56] Naruko**
Kuroda and Ashikiba are attackin'.
**[15:59] Teshima**
Damn it. We thought we'd
stopped Shinkai's attack,
**[16:02] Teshima**
but they're already launching
their second attack.
**[16:04] Teshima**
If we fall behind now, it's over.
**[16:06] Teshima**
Let's go, Naruko.
**[16:07] Naruko**
Yes, sir.
**[16:14] Teshima**
No, wait. What are they
planning to do about Izumida?
**[16:18] Teshima**
Are they going to leave
their sprinter behind?
**[16:22] Manami**
Here we go.
**[16:23] Izumida**
*Ab*deed.
**[16:25] Naruko**
Teshima-san, Hakone Academy's last
two guys are acceleratin', too.
**[16:28] Teshima**
A third attack? They're making
Manami pull so they can catch up.
**[16:32] Teshima**
Let's raise our pace, Naruko.
**[16:34] Naruko**
Yes, sir.
**[16:35] Teshima**
They've even turned pulling
their sprinter into an attack.
**[16:39] Teshima**
Hakone Academy's power is
so broad and overwhelming.
**[16:46] Teshima**
We can't let our guard
down for even a second.
**[16:50] Teshima**
Not bad.
**[16:51] Teshima**
You launched an all-out attack
as soon as the climb started.
**[16:54] Teshima**
Are you trying to scatter our team
before the final climb, Izumida?
**[17:00] Izumida**
I wish I could say you're correct,
**[17:02] Izumida**
but you're mistaken about
one thing, Teshima-kun.
**[17:06] Izumida**
This plan isn't mine.
**[17:09] Izumida**
Since the moment the climb started,
control of Hakone Academy shifted...
**[17:15] Izumida**
to this man, Kuroda Yukinari.
**[17:18] Kuroda**
Huh?
**[17:20] Kuroda**
Don't give it away, Touichirou.
**[17:23] Teshima**
Kuroda is their commander from
here until the finish line?
**[17:27] Imaizumi**
Kuroda-san has taken over?
**[17:29] Naruko**
Those three attacks were his call?
**[17:32] Kuroda**
Now let's see, who should I attack with next?
**[17:37] Onoda**
They're strong. Hakone Academy
is strong this year, too.
**[17:41] Koga**
And if they think Hakone Academy
is their only opponent,
**[17:46] Koga**
their situation is even more desperate.
**[17:48] Koga**
They'll be coming for the finish line, too.
**[17:53] Midousuji**
Mizuta-kun...
**[17:58] Midousuji**
Come on, pull harder.
**[18:02] Mizuta**
I'm already pulling as hard as I can.
**[18:05] Midousuji**
More.
**[18:08] Mizuta**
This doesn't make sense.
**[18:09] Mizuta**
Why am I pulling through the flats?
**[18:14] Mizuta**
When Midousuji told me to stick with
him during last night's meeting,
**[18:19] Mizuta**
it wasn't because he trusted me
to take on the King of the Mountains,
**[18:22] Mizuta**
or the final finish line because I finished
second in the mountains the day before!
**[18:28] Mizuta**
Damn, damn. Why am I
burning up my energy?
**[18:32] Mizuta**
I'm a third-year. I'm the captain.
**[18:34] Mizuta**
This should be first-year Komari's job.
**[18:39] Midousuji**
More, Mizuta-kun.
**[18:42] Mizuta**
Shouldn't Komari be doing this?
**[18:45] Midousuji**
No.
**[18:48] Mizuta**
No?
**[18:50] Mizuta**
This jerk...
**[18:51] Mizuta**
I know. So that's what it is.
**[18:53] Mizuta**
He really stepped in it.
**[18:56] Mizuta**
He made a strategic error.
**[18:58] Mizuta**
Now that I think about it, all kinds of
funny business went down in this race.
**[19:01] Mizuta**
We took advantage of the
moment's opening that occurred
**[19:05] Mizuta**
when a single Sohoku rider was swallowed
up by the pack and left them behind.
**[19:08] Mizuta**
If we'd stayed together,
we might've caught up to the front.
**[19:12] Mizuta**
But instead, he put them up to
that nonsensical race and lost.
**[19:17] Mizuta**
On top of that, we didn't even chase
after those two Sohoku riders.
**[19:22] Mizuta**
And now we're in this situation.
**[19:25] Mizuta**
Your faults have been exposed, Midousuji.
**[19:29] Midousuji**
What?
**[19:31] Mizuta**
Are you satisfied after
winning the second day?
**[19:34] Mizuta**
You made us shave our heads
because we got carried away,
**[19:38] Mizuta**
but ultimately you were
the one most drunk on victory.
**[19:43] Midousuji**
Huh?
**[19:45] Mizuta**
There you go again, making your noises.
**[19:46] Mizuta**
I kept quiet until now because I thought you
had a plan, but I can't take it anymore.
**[19:52] Mizuta**
Let me make this clear.
**[19:53] Mizuta**
Komari, you'd better listen closely, too.
**[19:56] Mizuta**
I, Kyoto Fushimi Captain Mizuta Nobuyuki,
have a shocking announcement to make.
**[20:02] Mizuta**
No matter how fast we ride, we'll never
catch up to the guys ahead of us.
**[20:07] Mizuta**
Though he acts like a leader,
Midousuji has made a strategic error.
**[20:17] Mizuta**
I see. You're so surprised,
you can't even speak, Komari.
**[20:22] Mizuta**
Does that frustrate you?
Does that make you sad?
**[20:24] Mizuta**
But this is the truth.
**[20:27] Mizuta**
This guy's judgment has been
clouded after yesterday's events.
**[20:31] Mizuta**
So, Komari, from here on out, I'll be
the team's leader, and together—
**[20:36] Midousuji**
Are you done talking?
**[20:39] Midousuji**
Your cruising speed has dropped.
**[20:42] Midousuji**
Your job is to pull me.
**[20:46] Midousuji**
And unfortunately...
**[20:50] Midousuji**
when we didn't go after
those two Sohoku riders...
**[20:57] Midousuji**
That was on purpose.
**[20:59] Mizuta**
What?
**[21:00] Imaizumi**
Hakone Academy's launching their
fourth attack. It's Ashikiba-san.
**[21:05] Imaizumi**
Damn it. How long are they
going to keep this up?
**[21:09] Teshima**
Onoda, fall back and rest.
**[21:11] Onoda**
Yes, sir.
**[21:12] Teshima**
Naruko, go.
**[21:14] Naruko**
Yes, sir.
**[21:15] Naruko**
You're not goin' anywhere.
**[21:20] Naruko**
Especially not you, beanpole.
**[21:24] Kuroda**
Sohoku's damned persistent.
**[21:28] Midousuji**
It would've been possible
to catch up to those two.
**[21:31] Midousuji**
But what we should be doing is winning.
**[21:35] Midousuji**
The most fearsome situation
in road racing is...
**[21:40] Midousuji**
a single dominant team.
**[21:42] Midousuji**
When one powerful team rides in front
with complete control over the race.
**[21:48] Midousuji**
But with only three of us,
we're at a disadvantage.
**[21:53] Midousuji**
So I allowed those two to join their team.
**[22:00] Midousuji**
Then they were guaranteed
to go after Hakone Academy.
**[22:05] Midousuji**
If someone can catch up to the
dominant team and challenge them...
**[22:12] Midousuji**
their control is disrupted.
**[22:15] Midousuji**
An opportunity is created.
**[22:19] Midousuji**
Don't worry. We're sailing along smoothly.
**[22:25] Midousuji**
Now face forward.
**[22:28] Midousuji**
Don't bother looking back again.
**[22:30] Midousuji**
Don't speak. Just face forward,
**[22:34] Midousuji**
and devote your entire body and soul
to pulling us until you're spent.
**[22:39] Mizuta**
Yes, sir.
**[22:41] Mizuta**
Wait, did you say us?
**[22:44] Midousuji**
You only need to make it until
the end of the first climb.
**[22:52] Midousuji**
The two of us will take
it the rest of the way.
**[22:55] Midousuji**
We'll be attacking soon, Komari-kun.
**[22:59] Komari**
Understood, Midousuji-san.
**[23:02] Midousuji**
The thing you desire most lies
ahead of us on the path ahead.
**[23:09] Komari**
The thing I desire most?
**[23:15] Komari**
Ah...
**[23:17] Komari**
You must mean muscles!

***SIGN*** Yowamushi Pedal
**[01:33] Naruko**
Hakone Academy's been attackin'
non-stop since we entered the climb.
**[01:39] Teshima**
Yeah.
**[01:40] Naruko**
Little Shinkai started
them off with a splash,
**[01:44] Naruko**
then their commander Kuroda-san
attacked, then Manami.
**[01:47] Naruko**
And just now, it was the lanky Ashikiba.
**[01:50] Teshima**
It's an all-out attack.
**[01:52] Teshima**
Are you struggling, Naruko?
**[01:53] Naruko**
Who do you think you're
talkin' to? This is nothin'.
**[01:56] Naruko**
I'm the flashy genius from
Naniwa, Naruko Shoukichi.
**[02:03] Teshima**
You're right. You guys have stopped all
of Hakone Academy's attacks so far.
**[02:08] Teshima**
Things are going well, more or
less according to plan.
**[02:12] Teshima**
You guys are doing great.
**[02:14] Teshima**
The first climb will be ending soon.
**[02:16] Teshima**
From there, we'll be on the highland road.
**[02:20] Teshima**
For 2.5 kilometers, the elevation
will remain mostly level.
**[02:23] Teshima**
We'll be able to rest until the next climb.
***SIGN*** Kusatsu Hot Springs

**[02:26] Teshima**
Thank you, Naruko.
**[02:28] Naruko**
Huh?
**[02:29] Teshima**
For becoming an all-rounder.
**[02:33] Naruko**
Where'd this come from?
**[02:35] Teshima**
I'm grateful we have four
riders at this moment.
**[02:41] Teshima**
Not only that, but you've got
a nose for the finish line.
**[02:44] Teshima**
You could go for the goal.
**[02:48] Naruko**
I'll seize just about anythin'
if you order me to do it.
**[02:51] Naruko**
Should I put my arms around
Onoda-kun and hotshot's shoulders
**[02:55] Naruko**
and hold their hands so the three
of us can finish at the same time?
**[02:59] Imaizumi**
Whoa, whoa...
**[03:01] Sakamichi**
Naruko-kun, isn't that
what you said last year?
**[03:04] (Flashback) Naruko**
I think it'd feel amazing
**[03:07] (Flashback) Naruko**
if we finished first all
three days together.
**[03:13] Sakamichi**
You were still holding onto that promise.
**[03:18] Imaizumi**
Have you been hiding that until now?
**[03:22] Imaizumi**
This year you became an all-rounder.
**[03:25] Imaizumi**
You can even climb mountains.
**[03:27] Imaizumi**
Are you saying there's real
potential for that now?
**[03:31] Naruko**
I'll miraculously pull off the world's first
three-man finish in spectacular fashion.
**[03:38] Imaizumi**
That's ridiculous. But I like
the sound of it, Naruko.
**[03:42] Sakamichi**
Naruko-kun...
**[03:45] Teshima**
What's this pressure coming
off of these three?
**[03:47] Teshima**
Their morale is rising, unbelievably so.
**[03:52] Teshima**
This may be the extra strength we need
to stand against Hakone Academy.
**[04:00] Teshima**
Hakone Academy is making their move.
**[04:02] Teshima**
Who's attacking? Will it be Kuroda or Manami?
**[04:05] Teshima**
The first climb is ending soon.
**[04:07] Teshima**
We'll enter the flats, and...
**[04:08] Teshima**
No, wait. The flats?
**[04:11] Teshima**
Why do I feel like something's wrong?
**[04:14] Teshima**
I may have badly misinterpreted
the situation.
**[04:18] Teshima**
Imaizumi, accelerate.
**[04:19] Teshima**
Bring us next to Hakone Academy right away.
**[04:22] Imaizumi**
What? What do you mean?
**[04:24] Teshima**
How did I not notice when it's so simple?
**[04:27] Teshima**
There's only one man Hakone
Academy would send now.
**[04:30] Teshima**
It's their sprinter Izumida.
**[04:33] Teshima**
He's going to accelerate and
pull his team along with him.
**[04:35] Imaizumi**
Izumida-san!
**[04:37] Sakamichi**
What?
**[04:37] Naruko**
Lashes, huh?
**[04:38] Teshima**
Damn.
**[04:40] Teshima**
I thought the flats up ahead would
be an opportunity for us to rest.
**[04:44] Teshima**
But from the start, Hakone Academy
was planning to use them to attack.
**[04:50] Teshima**
That's why they brought a
sprinter into the mountains.
**[04:57] Imaizumi**
He's so fast.
**[04:58] Teshima**
What's important here is not falling
behind during this first climb.
**[05:03] Kuroda**
Go! Scatter the enemy.
**[05:06] Kuroda**
It's the flats you've been waiting for.
**[05:09] Kuroda**
Zip up your jersey...
**[05:11] Kruoda**
Izumida Touichiro.
**[05:14] Izumida**
Of course, Yuki.
**[05:16] Izumida**
I zip up my jersey all the way to the top...
**[05:22] Izumida**
whenever I get serious.
**[05:26] Izumida**
Abs, abs, abs!
**[05:28] Teshima**
Imaizumi, don't fall behind.
Go after him at full speed.
**[05:31] Imaizumi**
Yes, sir.
**[05:34] Kuroda**
Honestly, this is pointless, Sohoku.
**[05:36] Kuroda**
You can't catch up.
**[05:38] Kuroda**
Our Izumida is a super sprinter.
**[05:42] Kuroda**
And Touichirou's putting his entire
being into sprinting right now.
**[05:42] Izumida**
Abs, abs, abs!
**[05:48] Kuroda**
Sorry. Thank you, Touichirou.
**[05:52] (Flashback) Izumida**
A change of plans?
**[05:54] (Flashback) Izumida**
You want to use me in the mountains?
**[05:56] (Flashback) Kuroda**
That's right.
**[05:57] (Flashback) Kuroda**
Tomorrow, every team will bring out
their sprinters before the climb begins.
**[06:02] (Flashback) Kuroda**
But there are 2.5 kilometers of flats
before the climb at the hot springs.
**[06:08] (Flashback) Kuroda**
Normally teams would consider
it a place to rest,
**[06:11] (Flashback) Kuroda**
but I'd like to attack there instead.
**[06:13] (Flashback) Izumida**
Wait. That would mean
the flats before that...
**[06:16] (Flashback) Kuroda**
Will be handled by Doubashi alone.
**[06:21] (Flashback) Doubashi**
I don't mind, Izumida-san.
**[06:23] (Flashback) Izumida**
Doubashi...
**[06:25] (Flashback) Kuroda**
I want to establish a solid lead.
**[06:27] (Flashback) Izumida**
Yuki...
**[06:28] (Flashback) Izumida**
With that plan, I'd have to climb
the initial mountains with the team.
**[06:32] (Flashback) Izumida**
I'm best on flats.
**[06:34] (Flashback) Izumida**
It could be a risky gamble.
**[06:37] (Flashback) Kuroda**
No, I actually think you
might be able to pull it off.
**[06:42] (Flashback) Kuroda**
Not only have you ridden with
Hakone Academy for three years,
**[06:46] (Flashback) Kuroda**
but you've also carried on the role of
captain while being a sprinter.
**[06:51] (Flashback) Kuroda**
I know because I've always been watching you.
**[06:53] (Flashback) Kuroda**
You're probably three times
stronger than you think.
**[06:57] (Flashback) Kuroda**
You're probably three times
stronger than you think.
**[06:59] Izumida**
Yuki...
**[07:00] Izumida**
Abs, Yuki!
**[07:03] Izumida**
Yuki, we've been together
since we were little.
**[07:06] Izumida**
I secretly admired the way you
elegantly handled any sport.
**[07:12] Izumida**
I was overjoyed when you said you'd come to
Hakone Academy and ride bicycles with me.
**[07:17] Izumida**
But while working our hardest,
I eventually surpassed you.
**[07:27] (Flashback) Izumida**
Don't worry, Yuki.
**[07:30] (Flashback) Izumida**
You have a lot of potential.
**[07:33] (Flashback) Izumida**
Even if you don't make it
this year, next year—
**[07:34] (Flashback) Kuroda**
Don't try to cheer me up!
**[07:37] (Flashback) Kuroda**
You're lucky you get to race.
**[07:40] (Flashback) Kuroda**
Go ride your heart out at the Inter-High.
**[07:45] (Flashback) Izumida**
Yuki...
**[07:47] (Flashback) Kuroda**
They called me a genius, but I...
**[07:55] (Flashback) Kuroda**
I'm sorry.
**[07:57] (Flashback) Kuroda**
I know grabbing you by the
collar won't change anything.
**[08:04] (Flashback) Kuroda**
I know.
**[08:06] (Flashback) Kuroda**
Touichirou, I'm frustrated.
I'm so damn frustrated.
**[08:12] Izumida**
*Yuki...*
**[08:15] Izumida**
Those countless frustrating
experiences changed you.
**[08:20] Izumida**
You became graceful, lithesome, and powerful.
**[08:23] Izumida**
Determined, too.
**[08:26] Izumida**
You honed your thirst and nose for victory.
**[08:30] Izumida**
I'll accept any plan you throw at me.
**[08:33] Izumida**
I'll grant any desire you have.
**[08:35] Izumida**
I'll pour my entire body and
soul into these final flats.
**[08:41] Yuuto**
Sohoku's still keeping up.
**[08:43] Yuuto**
Izumida-san!
**[08:46] Izumida**
Don't worry, Yuuto.
**[08:49] Izumida**
I've been listening to their newborn cries.
**[08:51] Yuuto**
Newborn cries?
**[08:52] Izumida**
From my muscles, I mean.
**[08:54] Izumida**
Soon they'll appear in
response to my summons.
**[09:00] Izumida**
Come on out, my right pec, Andy,
and my left pec, Frank.
**[09:06] Izumida**
My back muscles Fabian are waiting, too.
**[09:10] Izumida**
The muscles that produce fierce acceleration
in the sprint before the finish line...
**[09:17] Izumida**
are the quads.
**[09:19] Izumida**
Using the legs on the top
side of my legs allows me to
**[09:22] Izumida**
generate overwhelming instantaneous
and explosive power.
**[09:27] Izumida**
However, at the same time,
**[09:29] Izumida**
once I've exhausted them, it's over.
**[09:31] Izumida**
My legs stop moving.
**[09:33] Izumida**
Therefore, they are the Final Muscles.
**[09:36] Yuuto**
He's going to awaken his Final Muscles?
**[09:40] Izumida**
I see. Sorry, sorry.
**[09:43] Izumida**
I hadn't called you by your names yet.
**[09:46] Izumida**
Come on out, both of you...
**[09:50] Izumida**
Left quad, Peter!
**[09:52] Izumida**
Right quad, Mark!
**[09:56] Izumida**
Let us ride together as a spear of light!
**[10:00] Izumida**
The remaining two kilometers of
highland flats are our final job!
**[10:05] Izumida**
Ab you ready? Final road!
**[10:10] Izumida**
Go! Abs!
**[10:15] Izumida**
What? Hakone Academy accelerated again?
**[10:20] Izumida**
Let us go beyond the light!
**[10:23] Izumida**
Abs! Abs, abs, abs, abs!!
**[10:29] Izumida**
Ah, I can hear your joyous voices ringing.
**[10:33] Izumida**
Come on out. Don't be shy.
**[10:36] Izumida**
You can give everything you've got.
**[10:38] Izumida**
Ah, yes. With your strength,
I shall become...
**[10:44] Izumida**
The world's fastest spear!
**[10:51] Imaizumi**
Damn. I even chased after him at full speed.
**[10:55] Imaizumi**
It's only been one kilometer
since the flats started,
**[10:58] Imaizumi**
and they've vanished from sight.
***SIGN*** Yowamushi Pedal
**[11:10] Yuuto**
Heck yeah! We did it.
**[11:13] Yuuto**
Sohoku has vanished from sight,
just as we planned.
**[11:17] Yuuto**
We've established a definitive
lead in the flats, Izumida-san.
**[11:21] Izumida**
Burn this into your eyes,
first-year Shinkai Yuuto.
**[11:26] Izumida**
This is how the man who wears the
number four for Hakone Academy rides.
**[11:30] Yuuto**
Huh?
**[11:32] Yuuto**
I kept sprinting because
I looked up to your brother.
**[11:35] Izumida**
This is everything I've got! Abs!
**[11:42] Yuuto**
What is this feeling? I'm so emotional.
**[11:47] Yuuto**
It makes me want to join him and ride,
like I'm being pulled to him.
**[11:52] Yuuto**
This is how Hakone Academy's
number four rides,
**[11:56] Yuuto**
Izumida-san?!
**[11:57] Izumida**
I'm moving. My body is moving.
**[12:00] Izumida**
So freely, however I please.
**[12:03] Izumida**
I can follow the line I've imagined
without a millimeter of imprecision.
**[12:08] Izumida**
My physical body is moving, and my spirit
races several centimeters above that.
**[12:13] Izumida**
Sounds are fading away. So are smells.
**[12:23] Izumida**
I know. When this happens...
**[12:28] Izumida**
the end is near.
**[12:35] Fan A**
The leaders are here!
**[12:37] Fan B**
It's Hakone Academy!
**[12:38] Fans**
Their sprinter Izumida is pulling!
**[12:39] Fans**
Hakone Academy are riding like champions!
**[12:40] Fans**
There's less than one kilometer left
until you enter the next mountains!
**[12:43] Fans**
You can do it!
**[12:44] Izumida**
The Inter-High is incredible.
**[12:48] Izumida**
My entire body is delighted, Yuki!
**[12:52] Kuroda**
Touichirou...
**[12:53] Izumida**
I feel like I could ride forever, Takuto!
**[12:57] Ashikiba**
Tou-chan...
**[13:00] Fans**
You're almost at the last climb!
**[13:01] Fans**
Go, Hakone Academy!
**[13:06] Izumida**
These three years have been
a dream, Yuki and Takuto.
**[13:11] Izumida**
Thank you for supporting me.
**[13:15] Izumida**
When Arakita-san once hurled insults
at Shinkai-san at the Inter-High,
**[13:20] Izumida**
I saw the trust that was still between them,
**[13:23] Izumida**
and felt that between men who had
fought for three years together
**[13:26] Izumida**
on the ultimate team known as Hakone Academy,
**[13:29] Izumida**
there must be a unique shared feeling
beyond simple trust or connection.
**[13:38] Izumida**
And we clearly have that, too.
**[13:42] Izumida**
Yuuto, Manami, Doubashi...
**[13:47] Izumida**
Thank you for following us.
**[13:51] Fans**
They're passing the hot springs!
**[13:52] Fans**
The climb starts here!
**[14:04] Izumida**
Be proud of yourselves.
**[14:06] Izumida**
Carry that pride up to the finish line.
**[14:10] Fans**
One of Hakone Academy's riders is falling!
**[14:14] Izumida**
You were the ultimate team.
**[14:17] Izumida**
So allow me to say in the end,
as your captain...
**[14:22] Izumida**
Be champions, Hakone Academy!
**[14:25] Yuuto & Manami**
Yes, sir!
**[14:26] Ashikiba & Kuroda**
Yeah!
**[14:33] Izumida**
Jerseys fading into the distance...
**[14:36] Izumida**
My legs ceasing their movements...
**[14:42] Izumida**
I'm counting on you to finish the rest.
**[14:49] Izumida**
You worked hard, Peter, Mark,
Andy, Frank, and Fabian.
**[14:56] Izumida**
It's all right now. You can rest.
**[15:01] Izumida**
You did the best I could've asked for.
**[15:12] Izumida**
Thanks to you, the team established
a solid lead over Sohoku.
**[15:18] Izumida**
It must be 500 meters—no, perhaps 700.
**[15:22] Naruko**
We've entered the climb, but I don't see
Hakone Academy anywhere, Teshima-san.
**[15:28] Teshima**
They got us.
**[15:29] Teshima**
Things went exactly according to their plan.
**[15:32] Sakamichi**
How far ahead do you think
they are, Imaizumi-kun?
**[15:35] Imaizumi**
Judging by the power of Izumida-san's
pulling and his acceleration,
**[15:39] Imaizumi**
probably 500 meters.
**[15:41] Sakamichi**
500 meters...
**[15:43] Naruko**
That's probably an underestimate, hotshot.
**[15:46] Naruko**
Check out the fans by the road.
**[15:48] Naruko**
Some of them are sittin'.
**[15:50] Naruko**
They're even drinkin', too.
**[15:52] Naruko**
That's proof it's been a while
since the lead pack passed through.
**[15:56] Naruko**
Honestly, I think they're 700 meters
ahead, though I hate to say it.
**[16:00] Imaizumi**
700...
**[16:01] Sakamichi**
That much?
**[16:03] Naruko**
Several millimeters of difference determine
who finishes first in road racin'.
**[16:07] Naruko**
100 meters is already hopeless.
**[16:10] Naruko**
200 meters is enough
to make anyone give up,
**[16:12] Naruko**
but we're talkin' about 700.
**[16:14] Teshima**
Damn! That's practically a kilometer.
**[16:18] Teshima**
We don't have a choice.
**[16:20] Teshima**
I misjudged the situation.
**[16:22] Teshima**
I'll pull at full speed and catch up
to Hakone Academy as much as I can.
**[16:29] Imaizumi**
700, huh?
**[16:32] Naruko**
Yeah.
**[16:33] Sakamichi**
That much?
**[16:34] Imaizumi**
Catching up to them now would
be excruciatingly difficult.
**[16:38] Naruko**
It'd be extra spicy and super hard.
**[16:40] Sakamichi**
Wow, that sounds d-difficult.
**[16:44] Imaizumi**
All right, Naruko. You'll pull first.
**[16:46] Naruko**
You're not gonna go first, hotshot?
**[16:48] Sakamichi**
I'll pull. We're in the mountains.
**[16:49] Teshima**
What's this?
**[16:51] Teshima**
What's with these guys?
**[16:53] Teshima**
Normally a 700-meter lead would
make anyone pull a sour face.
**[16:56] Teshima**
They'd say it's impossible.
**[16:59] Teshima**
But these guys...
**[17:00] Imaizumi**
I'll pull third.
**[17:01] Teshima**
They fully intend to catch up.
**[17:02] Naruko**
Lame-o.
**[17:04] Imaizumi**
Doesn't bother me.
**[17:05] Naruko**
Now he's acting defiant.
**[17:05] Teshima**
The rising pressure...
**[17:07] Sakamichi**
Come on, guys.
**[17:07] Teshima**
This is what Kinjou-san mentioned
that's most amazing about them.
***SIGN*** Sohoku High School Bicycle Racing Club
**[17:12] (Flashback) Teshima**
They never give up?
**[17:14] (Flashback) Kinjou**
That's right. Especially in tight
corners and hopeless situations,
**[17:20] (Flashback) Kinjou**
the desire of those three first-years
to turn the situation around increases.
**[17:26] (Flashback) Kinjou**
You feel a rising pressure.
**[17:29] (Flashback) Teshima**
I don't feel that much
from them during practice.
**[17:33] (Flashback) Kinjou**
You'll experience it once you race with them.
**[17:37] (Flashback) Kinjou**
And that power will effect a tremendous
change on how the race goes after that.
**[17:43] (Flashback) Teshima**
What should I do?
**[17:46] (Flashback) Kinjou**
It's simple. Look into their eyes
**[17:50] (Flashback) Kinjou**
and tell them you're counting on them.
**[17:53] Sakamichi**
Okay, I'll pull.
**[17:55] Imaizumi**
Thanks.
**[17:56] Naruko**
Onoda-kun's the biggest man among us.
**[18:01] Teshima**
What's with you guys?
**[18:03] Teshima**
I thought you'd lose hope after
Hakone Academy flexed their strength.
**[18:10] Imaizumi**
Hakone Academy certainly
is strong. Exceptionally so.
**[18:15] Imaizumi**
But we can't win by fighting
back using the same methods.
**[18:21] Imaizumi**
Izumida-san is fast,
**[18:23] Imaizumi**
but our legs will never last if
we try to chase him on the flats.
**[18:26] Naruko**
I offered to catch up by pulling
the team, but hotshot said...
**[18:32] Imaizumi**
We don't need to exhaust Naruko
when he's finally learned to climb.
**[18:39] Imaizumi**
We can close the gap established
on the flats in the mountains.
**[18:43] Naruko**
It's a huge friggin' gap, though.
**[18:45] Sakamichi**
Yeah, but we'll do our best.
**[18:51] Teshima**
Can I count on you to do that?
**[18:52] Naruko**
We gotta try.
**[18:54] Imaizumi**
Of course.
**[18:55] Sakamichi**
Yes, sir. We'll go all-out to catch up.
**[19:03] Teshima**
A climb...
**[19:05] Teshima**
In the worst possible scenario...
**[19:08] Teshima**
But he's smiling?
**[19:10] Teshima**
What is this overwhelming pressure?
**[19:13] Teshima**
Onoda, what are you...
**[19:16] Teshima**
Wind pressure?
**[19:18] Teshima**
Since we formed our new team, I hadn't
observed Onoda's max strength up close yet.
**[19:26] Teshima**
This is his maximum high-cadence
climb that's only seen during races.
**[19:31] Teshima**
He's practically managing the speed
fluctuations of climbing with his cadence alone.
**[19:37] Teshima**
His legs spin so fast...
**[19:39] Teshima**
That's Onoda's true strength.
**[19:41] Teshima**
I'm starting to sweat.
**[19:43] Teshima**
What is this? I can feel
myself getting goosebumps.
**[19:47] Teshima**
Is it his focus?
**[19:50] Teshima**
Is it reaching me, too?
**[19:52] Naruko**
Hotshot, Onoda-kun's outta control.
**[19:55] Naruko**
He's real amped up. He's crazy fast.
**[19:58] Imaizumi**
Yeah. He's always like that.
**[20:01] Imaizumi**
More than when riding for himself...
**[20:04] (Flashback) Imaizumi**
Can you catch up to them, Onoda?
**[20:06] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
Yeah.
**[20:07] Imaizumi**
...he's fastest when
someone's counting on him.
**[20:15] Teshima**
Since he won the Inter-High last year,
the situation surrounding Onoda has changed.
**[20:22] Teshima**
He was even nicknamed the
King of the Mountains
**[20:25] Teshima**
for his control and reign over the climbs.
**[20:30] Teshima**
Plenty have challenged the
King of the Mountains.
**[20:34] Teshima**
Most were perplexed by Onoda's
small and weak appearance.
**[20:40] Teshima**
But once the race began,
**[20:43] Teshima**
they marveled at his overpowering riding
**[20:46] Teshima**
with mouths agape and eyes
round with amazement.
**[20:50] Imaizumi**
Don't push yourself too hard, Onoda.
**[20:53] Sakamichi**
It's tough. I'm struggling to breathe,
and my chest hurts.
**[20:58] Sakamichi**
But it's strange. When I'm riding
with the team, it's so fun.
**[21:03] Imaizumi**
Yeah.
**[21:06] Naruko**
You're right.
**[21:08] Teshima**
He's smiling again.
**[21:11] Teshima**
You're having fun?
**[21:13] Sakamichi**
Sorry, Teshima-san.
**[21:15] Teshima**
Huh?
**[21:16] Sakamichi**
You must be wondering how I'm having
fun when we're in a dire situation.
**[21:22] Teshima**
No, keep pulling the way you are.
**[21:26] Sakamichi**
Yes, sir.
**[21:31] Teshima**
Onoda, do you remember?
**[21:34] (Flashback) Teshima**
They're yours. Use them.
**[21:38] Teshima**
I gave you shoes then.
**[21:42] Teshima**
After losing to you, I wanted to see
just how much faster you'd become.
**[21:50] Teshima**
You grew shockingly quickly.
**[21:53] Teshima**
You overcame all manner of walls
and shattered my assumptions.
**[21:59] Teshima**
But I never thought you'd become this fast.
**[22:06] Teshima**
It's the race official's car.
**[22:07] Teshima**
The one that follows the lead pack!
**[22:09] Teshima**
They must be close.
**[22:10] Teshima**
We're closing the gap between
us and Hakone Academy.
**[22:13] Naruko**
Onoda-kun, let's switch.
**[22:14] Sakamichi**
Okay, thanks.
**[22:16] Imaizumi**
Don't try to stand out, Naruko.
**[22:18] Naruko**
Shut up and watch my super climb.
**[22:20] Naruko**
Here comes the flashiest man
in Naniwa, Naruko Shoukichi—
**[22:26] Imaizumi**
Want me to switch with you?
**[22:27] Naruko**
Shut up!
**[22:28] Naruko**
That was quick! I thought
I told you to shut up and watch!
**[22:31] Sakamichi**
Imaizumi-kun...
**[22:34] Teshima**
Onoda has grown tremendously
and beyond expectations.
**[22:39] Teshima**
But even with that,
Hakone Academy's strength...
**[22:45] Teshima**
I'm sorry, Onoda.
**[22:47] Sakamichi**
Huh?
**[22:48] Teshima**
About the third day's—today's orders.
**[22:52] Sakamichi**
Don't worry about it. It's fine.
**[22:56] Sakamichi**
As long as we get to work together as a team.

**[01:32] Naruko**
What do you mean, Onoda won't be
our mountain ace on the third day?
**[01:38] (Flashback) Naruko**
Onoda-kun is last year's champion!
**[01:40] (Flashback) Naruko**
He beat Manami in the mountains
at the end of that race.
**[01:44] (Flashback) Imaizumi**
I can't accept this decision, either.
**[01:46] (Flashback) Imaizumi**
I'd understand if Onoda wasn't doing well.
**[01:49] (Flashback) Imaizumi**
But he's fine.
**[01:51] (Flashback) Imaizumi**
I made sure he'd be in peak
condition during the Inter-High.
**[01:55] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
Yeah, I appreciate it.
**[01:58] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
I'm doing better than ever.
**[02:01] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
But if that's the decision Teshima-san
made after giving it a lot of thought,
**[02:05] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
then I'll accept those orders.
**[02:07] (Flashback) Imaizumi**
Onoda...
**[02:09] (Flashback) Teshima**
I'm having you step down
**[02:11] (Flashback) Teshima**
because I expect we'll face circumstances
that will force you to anyway.
**[02:17] (Flashback) Teshima**
By the time we enter the final
mountains on the third day,
**[02:21] (Flashback) Teshima**
Hakone Academy will be well-prepared.
**[02:24] (Flashback) Teshima**
And it'll probably be Manami
who gives us the most trouble.
**[02:30] (Flashback) Teshima**
He was Hakone Academy's
first ever first-year regular
**[02:34] (Flashback) Teshima**
and a finalist at last year's Inter-High.
**[02:36] (Flashback) Teshima**
Rumor is he's even stronger this year.
**[02:40] (Flashback) Teshima**
Manami will be launched from
their rock-solid position
**[02:43] (Flashback) Teshima**
and race straight to the finish line.
**[02:47] (Flashback) Teshima**
That's the worst possible
scenario I can think of.
**[02:51] Sakamichi**
*Manami-kun...*
**[02:53] Sakamichi**
* Can I beat Manami-kun now*
* that he's even stronger?*
**[02:57] Sakamichi**
*I...*
**[03:00] Sakamichi**
*There's a road leading to the finish line.*
**[03:03] Sakamichi**
*A slope climbing up into the sky.*
**[03:05] Sakamichi**
*There's no telling what will happen there.*
**[03:08] Sakamichi**
*Everyone rides as hard as they can*
**[03:11] Sakamichi**
* toward a totally undecided*
* blank slate of a future.*
**[03:16] Sakamichi**
* If I got to race against a stronger*
* Manami-kun and was able to keep up, then I...*
**[03:24] Sakamichi**
*I would be really happy.*
**[03:27] (Flashback) Teshima**
For Sohoku,
**[03:29] (Flashback) Teshima**
it's best for us to take down Manami early.
**[03:32] Naruko**
*Take him down...*
**[03:33] Imaizumi**
*...early.*
**[03:34] (Flashback) Teshima**
We'll make the first attack once
we enter the final mountains.
**[03:38] (Flashback) Teshima**
When we catch up to them,
we'll send one attacker.
**[03:43] (Flashback) Teshima**
They'll send someone after him.
**[03:45] (Flashback) Teshima**
We'll pull him at full speed, keep him
in check, and exhaust his legs.
**[03:51] (Flashback) Teshima**
But the third day's mountains are long.
**[03:54] (Flashback) Teshima**
Whoever makes the first attack will
become exhausted before the end,
**[03:57] (Flashback) Teshima**
be passed by the team,
**[03:59] (Flashback) Teshima**
and stop pedaling because he doesn't have
the stamina to even reach the finish line.
**[04:04] (Flashback) Teshima**
One of us will drop out of the race and
take one of our opponents down with him.
**[04:07] (Flashback) Teshima**
That will be our first
attack in the mountains.
**[04:10] Sakamichi**
*Drop out...*
**[04:11] (Flashback) Teshima**
The only person who can lure Manami
and take him down is you, Onoda.
**[04:20] (Flashback) Teshima**
Tomorrow, if what I'm expecting happens...
**[04:25] Teshima**
*Can you do it, Onoda?*
**[04:27] Sakamichi**
*Yes, sir!*
**[04:28] Teshima**
It's the race official's car.
**[04:29] Teshima**
The lead pack must be close.
**[04:31] Imaizumi**
Let's swap, Naruko.
**[04:32] Naruko**
Go get 'em, hotshot.
**[04:33] Imaizumi**
You don't have to tell me twice.
**[04:40] Teshima**
Let's swap, Imaizumi.
**[04:42] Imaizumi**
Yes, sir.
**[04:42] Teshima**
I can't be the only one not
pulling when I'm making the
**[04:46] Teshima**
second-years pull and asked
Onoda drop out of the race.
**[04:49] Teshima**
Show yourselves, Hakone Academy.
**[04:51] Teshima**
Let me see you around this corner.
**[04:55] Teshima**
Show yourselves, Hakone Academy!
**[05:05] Teshima**
I see them.
**[05:07] Kuroda**
Sohoku's here?
**[05:09] Teshima**
We've come crawling back up from
the depths of despair, Kuroda.
**[05:13] Ashikiba**
Jun-chan...
**[05:15] Teshima**
It's just as I expected.
**[05:16] Teshima**
Onoda, save your strength
for our first attack.
**[05:20] Sakamichi**
Yes, sir.
**[05:21] Teshima**
Naruko, Imaizumi...
**[05:22] Imaizumi**
Yes, sir.
**[05:23] Naruko**
Yes, sir.
**[05:24] Teshima**
Thank you.
**[05:27] Teshima**
I would've stopped pedaling
if not for your hope.
**[05:31] Teshima**
I'll bring us next to Hakone Academy.
**[05:33] Teshima**
I'll pull at full speed.
**[05:36] Teshima**
I'm sorry.
**[05:37] Teshima**
After that, it'll be up to you
three to reach the finish line.
**[05:44] Makishima**
You think they're starting the
race for the finish line about now?
**[05:48] Kinjou**
Yeah.
***SIGN*** Tadokoro Bread
**[05:49] Makishima**
At 1,700 meters, it's cool
even during the summer.
**[05:54] Kinjou**
Yeah.
**[05:55] Makishima**
By the way, Kinjou...
**[05:57] Makishima**
You think Teshima Junta, the man
you appointed Captain of Sohoku,
**[06:02] Makishima**
will make it up here?
**[06:07] Makishima**
Through the hot spring town of Kusatsu and
**[06:09] Makishima**
the endlessly zig-zagging road,
all the way up here...
**[06:16] Kinjou**
Will Teshima make it, huh?
**[06:18] Tadokoro**
He will.
**[06:20] Tadokoro**
I trained Teshima and Aoyagi.
**[06:23] Tadokoro**
They've got more guts than anyone.
**[06:29] Tadokoro**
That's what I hope, anyway.
**[06:32] Tadokoro**
It'll probably be tough, though.
**[06:35] Makishima**
Yeah.
**[06:36] Tadokoro**
He's got guts, but his legs are average.
**[06:40] Kinjou**
Unfortunately, Tadokoro's right.
**[06:43] Makishima**
You need something exceptional
to survive at the Inter-High,
**[06:48] Makishima**
and Teshima lacks that.
**[06:50] Makishima**
Then why'd you choose Teshima to be captain
**[06:55] Makishima**
if he's an average guy
who can't make it up here?
**[06:59] Makishima**
I know he's injured,
**[07:01] Makishima**
but you could've made Koga captain instead.
**[07:04] Makishima**
He might've made it up here.
**[07:07] Kinjou**
It's true that Teshima is weak and ordinary.
**[07:10] Kinjou**
He often said so himself.
**[07:12] Kinjou**
"I'm at the bottom. I'm a low-level player."
**[07:17] Kinjou**
But Teshima continued
working hard regardless.
**[07:20] Kinjou**
He used every minute and
every second carefully
**[07:23] Kinjou**
and struggled to climb higher many times.
**[07:26] Kinjou**
Last year, by reeling in a thin
thread of hope, Sohoku won.
**[07:31] Kinjou**
We reached the top.
**[07:34] Kinjou**
But those who achieve the
highest result in competition
**[07:38] Kinjou**
always pay for it in the form of stagnation.
**[07:43] Kinjou**
The satisfaction of reaching the highest
level diffuses the winner's tension.
**[07:48] Kinjou**
He becomes weak and uncertain
about which way to proceed.
**[07:52] Kinjou**
Sohoku won. What the new generation
needs now more than anything else
**[07:57] Kinjou**
is the strength to push even farther.
**[08:02] Kinjou**
The mental strength to keep putting
**[08:04] Kinjou**
one foot in front of the other
no matter the circumstances.
**[08:07] Kinjou**
A powerful heart that never
loses sight of its goals.
**[08:10] Kinjou**
And he had that in spades.
**[08:13] Kinjou**
That's why I chose him.
**[08:15] Kinjou**
There are sights that can
only be seen from the bottom.
**[08:19] Kinjou**
The hunger to break through stalemates
and shatter preconceptions.
**[08:25] Makishima**
Yeah.
**[08:26] Kinjou**
And the efforts of an ordinary man
**[08:29] Kinjou**
become a vibration that resonates
through the other players.
**[08:33] Kinjou**
It becomes the strength
that pushes them forward.
**[08:38] Makishima**
Kinjou, wouldn't that be the
special something you mentioned
**[08:42] Makishima**
that everyone needs to
survive until this point?
**[08:52] Teshima**
Come on, body. Don't start screaming now.
**[08:57] Teshima**
Fight, Junta.
**[08:58] Teshima**
This is your last Inter-High!
**[09:02] Imaizumi**
We're catching up to Hakone Academy.
**[09:04] Sakamichi**
Teshima-san...
**[09:07] Naruko**
Hey, what'd you mean when you
said the rest is up to us?
**[09:11] Naruko**
It'd be better for us
to take turns pulling—
**[09:13] Teshima**
Rest for now. You'll need your strength.
**[09:17] Teshima**
That's an order.
**[09:18] Teshima**
Naruko, Imaizumi...
**[09:21] Teshima**
Our opponents have an advantage
from Izumida pulling.
**[09:25] Teshima**
If our whole team is
exhausted when we catch up,
**[09:28] Teshima**
we'll be beaten by an immediate attack.
**[09:30] Teshima**
One of us has to pull for the team.
**[09:34] Teshima**
And it has to be me.
**[09:37] Teshima**
So, heart, keep on pumping until then.
**[09:52] Yuuto**
What's with this guy?
**[09:59] Imaizumi**
Incredible. He's...
**[10:02] Naruko**
Crap. What is this?
**[10:04] Naruko**
My hands are startin' to shake.
**[10:06] Sakamichi**
I can feel Teshima-san's
passionate vibrations
**[10:10] Sakamichi**
from his determination to
move forward no matter what.
**[10:13] Yuuto**
Kuroda-san, I'm not sure what's going on,
but they've nearly caught up.
**[10:18] Kuroda**
Yuuto, the two of us will pull together.
**[10:21] Yuuto**
Yes, sir.
**[10:23] Ashikiba**
Yuki-chan, can I make
just one selfish demand?
**[10:28] Ashikiba**
Let me pull.
**[10:29] Kuroda**
Takuto...
**[10:31] Ashikiba**
I was trying to stay calm, but after
seeing Jun-chan ride like that,
**[10:36] Ashikiba**
I can't contain it anymore.
**[10:41] Ashikiba**
Let's race, Jun-chan.
**[10:43] Teshima**
Shikiba...
**[10:45] Ashikiba**
Your vibrations are reaching me.
**[10:48] Ashikiba**
The classical music has already
begun playing in my head.
**[10:53] Ashikiba**
It's cliché, but it's the Ninth.
**[10:55] Imaizumi**
Ashikiba-san...
**[10:57] Naruko**
...stood up!
**[10:58] Sakamichi**
He's moving up!
**[11:00] Teshima**
He's three meters ahead.
**[11:03] Teshima**
Is he challenging me to a race?
**[11:05] Teshima**
Seriously?
**[11:07] Teshima**
I'm trying to complete
my last job for the team
**[11:11] Teshima**
by bringing them next to Hakone Academy.
**[11:17] Ashikiba**
That's it, Jun-chan!
**[11:19] Ashikiba**
That's the vibration!
**[11:20] Ashikiba**
Let's race!
**[11:22] Teshima**
What situation do you see that makes
you say that, Ashikiba?
**[11:26] Imaizumi**
Situation?
**[11:28] Imaizumi**
We're currently trying to
catch up to Hakone Academy.
**[11:32] Imaizumi**
Things are going as we expected.
**[11:33] Imaizumi**
The one difference is that their ace,
Ashikiba-san, is trying to pull ahead.
**[11:39] Imaizumi**
What will Hakone Academy do?
**[11:41] Imaizumi**
They probably weren't expecting
Ashikiba-san to jump ahead here.
**[11:46] Imaizumi**
If their ace leaves their team now,
**[11:49] Imaizumi**
the race after this point
will change dramatically.
**[11:52] Imaizumi**
And this situation was brought about by him.
**[11:56] Imaizumi**
Which means...
**[12:03] Teshima**
What are you doing, Imaizumi?
**[12:05] Imaizumi**
Do you still have the will
and strength left to fight?
**[12:08] Teshima**
What?
**[12:09] Imaizumi**
Conserve your strength in the
back as much as possible.
**[12:12] Imaizumi**
And prepare yourself for the
biggest moment of this Inter-High.
**[12:17] Teshima**
Prepare myself?
**[12:18] Imaizumi**
Hakone Academy is attacking.
**[12:21] Teshima**
They're attacking first?
**[12:24] Naruko**
I agree with hotshot.
**[12:26] Teshima**
You, too?
**[12:28] Naruko**
They're comin'. It's gonna be a strong one.
**[12:32] Teshima**
Could it be?
**[12:34] Teshima**
Now?
**[12:37] Teshima**
They're sending their ace, Ashikiba, now?
**[12:43] Imaizumi**
You're the one who created
this situation, Teshima-san.
**[12:48] Imaizumi**
Your self-sacrifice moved everyone around you,
including Hakone Academy's ace.
**[12:55] Teshima**
I did?
**[12:57] Sakamichi**
Sometimes it's hardest to notice
when you're the one doing it.
**[13:04] Imaizumi**
You're the only one who
can stop Ashikiba-san now.
**[13:07] Teshima**
*I'll *stop him?
**[13:10] Sakamichi**
Please.
**[13:11] Naruko**
We're countin' on you.
**[13:13] Imaizumi**
Go.
**[13:14] All**
Sohoku captain and climber, Teshima Junta!
**[13:21] Teshima**
They're making crazy demands.
**[13:23] Teshima**
This can't be happening.
Shikiba, I'm getting to race against you?
**[13:29] Teshima**
Bicycle racing is fantastic.
**[13:32] Teshima**
We're at the front of the Inter-High.
**[13:36] Ashikiba**
Jun-chan!
**[13:37] Teshima**
Shikiba!
**[13:38] Ashikiba**
You came! Oh, you came. I'm so happy.
**[13:42] Ashikiba**
Let's race!
**[13:44] Teshima**
My third-year and final Inter-High
**[13:46] Teshima**
is shaping up to be the most difficult
last time I'll ever face.
**[13:50] Teshima**
Yeah, let's do it. I'm ready.
***SIGN*** Yowamushi Pedal
**[14:02] Fan A**
The front is here!
**[14:04] Fan B**
From Hakone Academy,
it's the first day's winner,
**[14:06] Fan B**
wearing the red mountain tags
from the second day.
**[14:09] Fan B**
He's the unstoppable and
towering ace, Ashikiba Takuto.
**[14:12] Fan C**
Racing against him is Sohoku's #5
and captain, Teshima Junta, a climber.
**[14:18] Fan A**
Teshima's racing for Sohoku, huh?
**[14:20] Fan B**
Teshima lacks an impressive record,
**[14:24] Fan B**
but he narrowly lost the
first day's mountain battle.
**[14:28] Fan C**
An uncrowned man,
someone who's never won a title,
**[14:32] Fan C**
is going to beat Hakone Academy's ace.
**[14:34] Fan C**
Maybe that's their plan for sending #5.
**[14:38] Ashikiba**
I'm glad you came.
**[14:41] Ashikiba**
How do you feel right now, Jun-chan?
**[14:45] Ashikiba**
As for me...
**[14:47] Ashikiba**
I...
**[14:51] Ashikiba**
I feel amazing!
**[14:53] Teshima**
Metronome Dancing!
**[14:55] Teshima**
You're doing that already? Hold on.
**[14:58] Teshima**
Wait, Shikiba!
**[15:01] Teshima**
My legs feel so heavy...
**[15:04] Teshima**
But move!
**[15:08] Ashikiba**
That's it. This is so thrilling.
**[15:12] Ashikiba**
Let's go again, Jun-chan.
**[15:14] Teshima**
Seriously?
**[15:16] Teshima**
My heart's about to stop.
**[15:18] Teshima**
Take a break, Shikiba.
**[15:27] Kuroda**
What's wrong, Sohoku? Are you giving up
the race because things have gotten tough?
**[15:32] Kuroda**
I'm surprised you sent Teshima.
**[15:35] Kuroda**
Did his miraculous second-place
finish at Irohazaka on the first day
**[15:38] Kuroda**
make you hope for more?
**[15:39] Kuroda**
But don't they call it a miracle
because it'll never happen again?
**[15:45] Kuroda**
From here, it's roughly
15 kilometers to the finish line.
**[15:48] Kuroda**
If one of the two guys who left can't keep up,
the other will take the finish line.
**[15:55] Kuroda**
The race will end without us doing our jobs.
**[15:59] Imaizumi**
We sent Teshima-san so that wouldn't happen.
**[16:04] Kuroda**
Sorry, but Teshima doesn't have
the strength to stop our Ashikiba.
**[16:09] Imaizumi**
I doubt he does.
**[16:12] Imaizumi**
But he'll stop him.
**[16:14] Kuroda**
Is that a riddle? How's he going to stop him?
**[16:18] Kuroda**
I'm saying Teshima doesn't stand a chance.
**[16:21] Sakamichi**
Excuse me.
**[16:22] Kuroda**
What?
**[16:24] Sakamichi**
Um, well...
**[16:26] Sakamichi**
The reason we sent Teshima-san
is because he's... very, uh...
**[16:33] Sakamichi**
He's very hard-working.
**[16:34] Kuroda**
Hard-working?
**[16:37] Kuroda**
I was wondering what you'd say.
**[16:39] Kuroda**
You think hard work and effort
are enough to succeed?
**[16:42] Kuroda**
Do you, Onoda-kun?
**[16:44] Sakamichi**
Um, but Teshima-san has worked
really hard this past year.
**[16:52] Sakamichi**
He tirelessly built up his
strength little by little.
**[16:56] Sakamichi**
I thought it was amazing.
**[17:00] Sakamichi**
Couldn't you call the ability to
gradually build up your efforts talent?
**[17:08] Teshima**
Are you laughing at me for
jumping ahead, Kuroda?
**[17:12] Teshima**
I'm sure you are.
**[17:14] Teshima**
Until a moment ago, I was pulling
my team at full strength,
**[17:18] Teshima**
with the intention of dropping out.
**[17:21] Teshima**
But...
**[17:25] Teshima**
an unexpected road opened in front of me.
**[17:29] Teshima**
Just as I was about to
collapse from exhaustion...
**[17:32] (Flashback) Imaizumi**
Do you still have the will
and strength left to fight?
**[17:36] Teshima**
For a moment, I thought,
"Why now, when I'm exhausted?"
**[17:41] Teshima**
"I would've gladly rushed ahead
if it weren't right now."
**[17:45] Teshima**
But I turned my pedals
because it happened now.
**[17:50] Teshima**
Only when you've pushed yourself to
the limit and steeled your resolve
**[17:56] Teshima**
does the next door open.
**[17:59] Teshima**
So move forward
without hesitation, Teshima Junta.
**[18:03] Teshima**
Wait, Shikiba!
**[18:04] Teshima**
Let's ride together for a little longer.
**[18:07] Ashikiba**
Jun-chan! Incredible! You truly are amazing.
**[18:11] Teshima**
Wouldn't want to waste the opportunity.
**[18:13] Teshima**
Shikiba, I hadn't answered

On the final day of the boys' bicycle
road race in the final mountains,

two riders have jumped ahead.
***SIGN*** Staff Office
**[18:39] Announcer**
One is Sohoku High School third-year
and #5, Teshima Junta.
**[18:45] Higashido**
What?
**[18:46] Masuda**
Hey, don't suddenly stop like that.
**[18:49] Announcer**
Teshima has fallen behind slightly.
**[18:51] Masuda**
Teshima? From class four?
**[18:55] Higashido**
Yeah, that's him.
**[18:56] Announcer**
But Teshima is hanging in there.
**[18:56] Masuda**
You're friends with him, right, Higashido?
**[18:59] Masuda**
Didn't you say you were going
to Tochigi the other day?
**[19:01] Higashido**
Yeah.
**[19:03] Higashido**
I spoke with him briefly
before the race started.
**[19:06] Announcer**
Teshima is sticking behind
Hakone Academy's number 11.
**[19:07] Higashido**
Wow, Teshima. You're playing
a big part at the Inter-High,
**[19:12] Higashido**
where the country's best riders gather.
**[19:14] Higashido**
It makes me shiver.
**[19:16] Announcer**
Meanwhile, Hakone Academy
has strength to spare.
**[19:17] Higashido**
You've seized an opportunity.
**[19:19] Announcer**
He's riding so effortlessly.
**[19:20] Higashido**
I'll say it again.
**[19:21] Announcer**
All 202 centimeters of
#11 Ashikiba are swaying.
**[19:22] Higashido**
You're the star of Minami Middle School.
**[19:26] Higashido**
Ashikiba?
**[19:27] Girl B**
Who?
**[19:29] Higashido**
Ashikiba...
**[19:30] Higashido**
He was so slow and nice in middle school.
**[19:35] Higashido**
Are Shikiba and Teshima battling each other?
**[19:39] Higashido**
Those two from Minami Middle School are
taking each other on at the great Inter-High?
**[19:44] Higashido**
Amazing.
**[19:46] Higashido**
You can do it.
**[19:47] Higashido**
Good luck, both of you!
**[19:55] Teshima**
This is rough. I'm struggling.
**[19:57] Teshima**
But I feel strangely calm.
**[20:01] Teshima**
This is a huge race.
**[20:03] Teshima**
I'm shouldering a heavy
responsibility for my team.
**[20:06] Teshima**
It's the final mountains of the
third day of the Inter-High.
**[20:10] Teshima**
But my body is responding.
**[20:12] Teshima**
The wavelength feels good.
**[20:13] Teshima**
It's probably because I'm
racing against you, Shikiba.
**[20:18] Teshima**
Our rhythms are synced.
**[20:23] Ashikiba**
I feel the same way, Jun-chan.
**[20:27] Teshima**
What?
**[20:31] Ashikiba**
I can feel it.
**[20:33] Ashikiba**
Sorry. My senses are keen right now.
**[20:41] Teshima**
He's no ordinary man after all.
**[20:44] Teshima**
Just making eye contact with
him gives me pins and needles.
**[20:48] Ashikiba**
I'm strong when I get like this.
**[20:51] Teshima**
He unleashed his senses.
**[20:53] Teshima**
He was never a logical rider.
He rides based on feel.
**[20:58] Teshima**
People generally tease him for
being air-headed and not listening,
**[21:02] Teshima**
but that's just because his
interest is out of alignment.
**[21:06] Teshima**
Once he's set his sights on something
and his senses are tuned in,
**[21:09] Teshima**
he performs unbelievably well.
**[21:13] Teshima**
He's been this way since middle school.
**[21:16] Teshima**
He was strong once he got going.
**[21:19] Teshima**
He's not lying.
**[21:20] Teshima**
He's probably fairly strong right now.
**[21:25] Teshima**
Shall we race for real?
**[21:28] Ashikiba**
Isn't that why you came?
**[21:31] Ashikiba**
Let's do it for real.
**[21:33] Ashikiba**
You're strong. I want to try it.
**[21:36] Teshima**
Don't overestimate me.
**[21:38] Teshima**
I lost to you last year at Minegayama.
**[21:42] Teshima**
Everyone says I've got average legs.
**[21:47] Teshima**
But it hasn't made me spineless.
**[21:49] Teshima**
I am who I am now knowing that.
**[21:53] Teshima**
I want to believe the path
I've traveled and the goals
**[21:57] Teshima**
I've worked toward weren't wrong.
**[21:59] Teshima**
So I want to prove that by
fighting and beating you.
**[22:05] Teshima**
What's an ordinary climber,
**[22:06] Teshima**
a #5 like me doing picking a
fight with Hakone Academy's ace?
**[22:11] Teshima**
I know I wouldn't be able
to contain my laughter
**[22:14] Teshima**
if I calmed down and thought about it.
**[22:16] Teshima**
But we stand in the same ring.
**[22:19] Teshima**
I'm on this side of the
road at the Inter-High.
**[22:22] Teshima**
I have the right.
**[22:24] Teshima**
From another perspective,
this is an opportunity.
**[22:27] Teshima**
For the rest of my life,
**[22:30] Teshima**
I'll probably never have
another opportunity to ride
**[22:32] Teshima**
at the front of a big race with you.
**[22:35] Teshima**
I consider this a miracle.
**[22:37] Teshima**
So I'm riding this miracle
all the way to the end.
**[22:41] Teshima**
After all, miracles hardly ever happen,
no matter how hard you wish for them,
**[22:48] Teshima**
but when it rains, it pours.
**[22:50] Teshima**
Isn't that how it works?
**[22:56] Ashikiba**
I like the way you think.

**[23:08] Teshima**
Don't you think it's fitting

When I saw the bashful way he said "piano,"
**[03:15] Teshima**
I knew he must be doing it
because he really loved it.
**[03:25] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
Did you know the piano is a
stringed instrument, like the guitar.
**[03:30] (Flashback) Teshima**
Really?
**[03:32] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
Check this out. When you do this...
**[03:36] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
the hammers inside strike the strings,
which produce a sound.
**[03:39] (Flashback) Teshima**
You're right.
**[03:41] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
I love stringed instruments.

sound makes me feel better and better.
**[03:58] Teshima**
*He's really good.*
**[04:00] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
I can play J-pop songs, too, like HiraKen.
**[04:03] (Flashback) Teshima**

It's called a road bike.
**[04:22] (Flashback) Teshima**
I'm thinking about trying it.
**[04:25] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
It's so beautiful. It's like an instrument.
**[04:30] (Flashback) Teshima**
I've actually been pretending
with my own bike by lowering
**[04:33] (Flashback) Teshima**
the handlebars as much as possible.
**[04:35] (Flashback) Ashikiba**

**[04:36] (Flashback) Teshima**

**[04:41] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
Wait, handlebars can be lowered?
**[04:43] (Flashback) Teshima**
That's what caught your attention?
**[04:44] (Flashback) Teshima**
In real road races,
they ride about 200 kilometers.
**[04:48] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
Two hundred...
**[04:49] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
I could never do that.
**[04:51] (Flashback) Teshima**
I thought the same thing, at first.
**[04:53] (Flashback) Teshima**
My legs were exhausted,
and I was drenched in sweat,
**[04:56] (Flashback) Teshima**
but when I checked my odometer,
I'd only gone 20 kilometers.
**[04:58] (Flashback) Teshima**
But the next week, I rode 40 kilometers.
**[05:03] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
Seriously?
**[05:04] (Flashback) Teshima**
The week after that, I rode 70 kilometers.
**[05:07] (Flashback) Teshima**
It isn't magic.
**[05:09] (Flashback) Teshima**
I think it's something humans
inherently possess...
**[05:15] (Flashback) Teshima**
The ability to improve through
acquiring experience.
**[05:20] Ashikiba**
*Acquiring experience?*
**[05:24] (Flashback) Teshima**
I can't ride 200 kilometers yet,
**[05:26] (Flashback) Teshima**
but if I keep trying, I think
I'll be able to eventually.
**[05:29] (Flashback) Teshima**
So...
**[05:30] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
Huh?
**[05:32] (Flashback) Teshima**
Do you wanna try road racing with me?
**[05:37] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
Wow, what a great sound.
**[05:40] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
It really is like an instrument.
**[05:43] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
Isn't this fun, Jun-chan?
**[05:45] (Flashback) Teshima**
Yeah, Shikiba.
**[05:48] Teshima**
And that's how we began riding bikes.
**[05:52] Teshima**
At first, Shikiba couldn't keep up,

You dummy, we let them get away from us.
**[06:46] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
Get away?
**[06:47] (Flashback) Teshima**
They're gonna reach the
finish line before us.
**[06:49] (Flashback) Teshima**
We had to keep up with those three.
**[06:52] (Flashback) Teshima**
They planned this attack and were quietly
waiting for an opportunity. Damn it.
***SIGN*** 16 Ashikiba Takuto

**[06:58] Teshima**
We were failing to achieve anything.
**[07:04] (Flashback) Teshima**
We still haven't gotten any chances yet.
**[07:08] (Flashback) Teshima**
I placed 18th in that last race.
**[07:11] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
I was 16th.
**[07:13] (Flashback) Teshima**
That's not much different.
**[07:15] (Flashback) Teshima**
Road races are all about winning.
**[07:19] (Flashback) Teshima**
To achieve that, you need to try
countless times, fail countless times,
**[07:22] (Flashback) Teshima**
and seize opportunities that are
as difficult as threading a needle.
**[07:26] (Flashback) Teshima**
That's what the upperclassmen said.
**[07:28] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
Opportunities?
**[07:30] (Flashback) Teshima**
Maybe you just need to develop a feel for it.
**[07:33] (Flashback) Teshima**
A feel for riding a bike.
**[07:35] (Flashback) Teshima**
I have no idea what I'm
supposed to be seeing.
**[07:39] (Flashback) Teshima**
All I ever get out of racing is regret
and things I could've done better.
**[07:42] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
They're fun for me,
**[07:44] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
because I get to ride with you.
**[07:48] (Flashback) Teshima**
I appreciate that, but I feel conflicted.
**[07:51] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
There's something else I enjoy about racing.
**[07:56] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
There's something I see when
I start having fun during races.
**[08:00] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
I start to see a path that seems like it
would lead me to the front if I did this,
**[08:04] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
that, and the other thing.
**[08:05] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
But force myself to hold back.
**[08:09] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
I mean, if I followed it,
I'd be separated from you.
**[08:16] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
I race because I want to ride with you.
**[08:21] Teshima**
* What path? Is that what it means*
* to have a talent for riding bikes?*
**[08:25] Teshima**
*Is this guy actually way closer*
**[08:28] Teshima**
*to finding his opportunity than I am?*
**[08:32] (Flashback) Teshima**
Shikiba!
**[08:33] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
Huh?
**[08:34] (Flashback) Teshima**
You...
**[08:37] Teshima**
"You might have an incredible latent talent."
**[08:41] Teshima**
I couldn't come out and say those words then.
**[08:45] Teshima**
*Damn, damn.*
**[08:47] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
You're so funny, Jun-chan. You're powerful.
**[08:52] (Flashback) Teshima**
I lost today's race because I'm not powerful.
**[08:55] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
No, I can feel it in my heart.
You're emotionally powerful.
**[08:59] (Flashback) Teshima**
Huh?
**[09:00] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
I'm having so much fun right now.
**[09:03] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
I'm glad I came to Chiba.
**[09:09] Teshima**
Ashikiba had apparently moved several
times due to his parents' jobs.
**[09:15] Teshima**
And each time, he left places he'd grown
accustomed to behind.
**[09:21] Teshima**
*I wonder how it feels to move.*
**[09:26] Teshima**
* Is it a lonely experience, or is*
* it more complicated than that?*
**[09:31] (Flashback) Teshima**
Hey, Shikiba. Have you been
thinking about high school?
**[09:35] (Flashback) Teshima**
In Chiba—
**[09:35] Ashikiba**
I don't know if I'll still
be in Chiba by high school.
**[09:40] Teshima**
"The best schools in Chiba for bicycle racing are
Makuhari Keiyo, Chiba Sohoku,"
**[09:44] Teshima**
"and Kashiwa Higashi."
**[09:46] Teshima**
I decided not to say that after all.
**[09:50] Teshima**
*Oh, right. Shikiba, you...*
**[09:54] Teshima**
*Your time is limited.*
**[09:57] Teshima**
* You practice road racing*
* and piano knowing that.*
**[10:01] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
Huh? What's the matter, Jun-chan?
**[10:05] (Flashback) Teshima**
I love bicycles.
**[10:07] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
Huh?
**[10:08] (Flashback) Teshima**
So I want you to learn to
love them even more, too.
**[10:11] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
I'm already having plenty of fun.
**[10:13] (Flashback) Teshima**
That's not what I meant.
**[10:16] (Flashback) Teshima**
I don't know how to explain it.
**[10:22] Teshima**
* I want him to achieve something*
* that will make him glad*
**[10:27] Teshima**
*he decided to take up bicycle racing.*
**[10:29] Teshima**
* But suddenly winning a*
* race would be too much.*
**[10:35] (Flashback) Teshima**
The King of the Mountains...
***SIGN*** King of the Mountains
**[10:37] Teshima**
* A title awarded to the first rider to*
* reach the top of a difficult climb.*
**[10:44] Teshima**
*It's an honor and something to be proud of.*
**[10:46] Teshima**
*The winner receives a special jersey.*
***SIGN*** Chiba Series Road Race Fifth Round
**[10:49] Teshima**
* There are no jerseys in middle*
* school-level regional races,*
**[10:54] Teshima**
* but you get to stand on the winner's podium,*
* and you receive a simple prize, too.*
**[10:59] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
It's so cold in the morning.
**[11:01] Teshima**
* Shikiba, I want to help*
* you achieve something.*
**[11:06] Teshima**
* I want you to be glad you chose to*
* ride bikes with your limited time.*
**[11:14] Teshima**
* Once you stand on the*
* winner's podium, I'm sure...*
**[11:19] Teshima**
*you'll come to love bikes even more, too.*
**[11:23] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
Jun-chan, you seem even
more hyped up than usual.
**[11:26] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
I can feel your competitive spirit.
**[11:30] (Flashback) Teshima**
I told you, today you're going
to be the King of the Mountains.
**[11:34] (Flashback) Teshima**
Leave it to me. I'll make sure you win it.
**[11:36] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
I told you, that's not possible.
**[11:39] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
Let's ride to have fun, like we always do.
**[11:44] (Flashback) Teshima**
Listen to me, Shikiba.
**[11:46] (Flashback) Teshima**
In road races, most everyone
is riding for the finish line.
**[11:50] (Flashback) Teshima**
In a hill climb, since the
finish line is at the peak,
**[11:54] (Flashback) Teshima**
that's what everyone's going for.
**[11:55] (Flashback) Teshima**
There's a lot of competition.
**[11:57] (Flashback) Teshima**
But the mountain result line
is on the middle of the course.
**[12:02] (Flashback) Teshima**
Making an attempt on the mountain
result line would exhaust them,
**[12:05] (Flashback) Teshima**
so guys aiming for the finish
line won't make a move.
**[12:08] (Flashback) Teshima**
There's less competition.
Not many guys are going for it.
**[12:11] (Flashback) Teshima**
Even you could be the King of the
Mountains if you work hard enough.
**[12:17] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
Really? I see, it's because
there's less competition.
**[12:21] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
You're so smart, Jun-chan.
**[12:23] (Flashback) Teshima**
Hey, don't look at me like this is the
first time you're hearing about it.
**[12:30] (Flashback) Rider A**
We've entered the climb.
**[12:31] (Flashback) Rider B**
The road is getting steeper.
***SIGN*** Caution Turn Ahead
**[12:34] (Flashback) Teshima**
It's time. Earlier I said there wouldn't
be much competition, but it's not easy.
**[12:41] (Flashback) Teshima**
The winner's podium is still for winners.
**[12:43] (Flashback) Teshima**
There are always a few guys willing to
give up the finish line for that honor.
***SIGN*** 8% Grade Ahead
**[12:50] (Flashback) Teshima**
Let's go, Shikiba. Raise your pace.
**[12:52] (Flashback) Teshima**
We're gonna keep up with those four.
**[12:57] (Flashback) Teshima**
You can do it. This is the moment of truth.
**[13:05] (Flashback) Teshima**
What's wrong, Shikiba? Pedal!
**[13:07] (Flashback) Teshima**
If we don't keep up now,
your King of the Mountains—
**[13:11] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
Look, Jun-chan. We have a great
view of the scenery from here.
**[13:16] (Flashback) Teshima**
The... scenery?
***SIGN*** Yowamushi Pedal
**[13:27] (Flashback) Teshima**
Why were you enjoying the view during a race?
**[13:29] (Flashback) Teshima**
What the hell was today's race?
**[13:32] (Flashback) Teshima**
We took our time reaching the finish
line and got buried like we always do,
**[13:35] (Flashback) Teshima**
finishing 24th and 25th.
**[13:37] (Flashback) Teshima**
What are you doing? This is pointless.
**[13:40] (Flashback) Teshima**
I even told you when to go
and what our goal was today.
**[13:44] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
I turned you down!
**[13:47] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
That's not possible.
**[13:51] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
The view was nice.
**[13:53] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
It was sunny, the air was dry,
and we were up high.
**[13:58] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
Is it really so wrong to want to show
someone else when you see a beautiful view?
**[14:05] (Flashback) Teshima**
There's a time and place for that.
**[14:09] (Flashback) Teshima**
Damn it. What was all my effort for?
**[14:14] (Flashback) Teshima**
Forget it. Let's get ready to go home.
**[14:21] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
I'm over it, too.
**[14:30] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
It's so cold. I bet it'll be cold
if my shoes get wet on the way home.
**[14:35] (Flashback) Higashido**
Hey, Ashikiba.
**[14:37] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
Oh, uh...
**[14:39] (Flashback) Higashido**
You should know my name
by now. It's Higashido.
**[14:42] (Flashback) Higashido**
My nickname is Higashimaru.
**[14:44] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
Do you need something?
**[14:46] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
It's raining today,
so there's no practice, right?
**[14:49] (Flashback) Higashido**
Lately you've been skipping
practice even when it's sunny.
**[14:53] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
Oh, well, you know...
**[14:59] (Flashback) Higashido**
I heard you and Teshima had a falling out.
**[15:04] (Flashback) Higashido**
You're thinking about quitting, aren't you?
**[15:07] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
What? No, uh...
**[15:10] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
How did you know?
**[15:12] (Flashback) Higashido**
Teshima said that might be the case.
**[15:17] (Flashback) Higashido**
You didn't come to last week's event.
**[15:20] (Flashback) Higashido**
Teshima was waiting the whole time.
***SIGN*** Chiba Cycling Festival
**[15:23] Higashido**
Even after the race started,
**[15:24] Higashido**
he waited there at the starting line
by himself like he was half-asleep.
**[15:29] Ashikiba**
What?
**[15:33] Ashikiba**
But...
**[15:35] Ashikiba**
Being grabbed and screamed at would
make anyone want to quit riding.
**[15:41] Higashido**
Have you thought about why Teshima
grabbed you by the collar?
**[15:46] Higashido**
He told me a while ago on
the way home after practice.
**[15:50] (Flashback) Higashido**
You're gonna make Ashikiba
the King of the Mountains?
**[15:52] (Flashback) Teshima**
It's a good idea, right?
**[15:54] (Flashback) Teshima**
He's a pretty good climber
once he gets going.
**[15:58] (Flashback) Higashido**
Well, yeah, but...
**[16:00] (Flashback) Teshima**
I'll have to work hard, too.
**[16:02] (Flashback) Higashido**
You?
**[16:04] (Flashback) Teshima**
Someone needs to take Shikiba
to the top of the mountain.
**[16:07] (Flashback) Teshima**
Winning requires sacrifice.
**[16:12] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
Sacrifice...
**[16:14] (Flashback) Higashido**
That's right. After all,
road racing is a team sport.
**[16:18] (Flashback) Higashido**
When multiple opponents come at you,
you can't fight them off alone.
**[16:21] (Flashback) Higashido**
You need someone to set things up for you.
**[16:25] (Flashback) Higashido**
I can't do it.
**[16:28] (Flashback) Higashido**
But maybe he's the kind of guy
**[16:30] (Flashback) Higashido**
who gets excited about working
hard for someone else's sake.
**[16:34] (Flashback) Higashido**
Do you know where Teshima is today?
**[16:38] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
Huh?
**[16:40] (Flashback) Higashido**
He needs to be able to climb, too,
if he's going to set you up.
**[16:44] (Flashback) Higashido**
He has to practice climbing.
**[16:46] (Flashback) Higashido**
But on normal days, his schedule's
full with team practice.
**[16:50] (Flashback) Higashido**
So he told me...
**[16:54] (Flashback) Higashido**
On rainy days when the team doesn't practice,
he practices climbing alone.
**[17:00] (Flashback) Teshima**
It's so cold. The water's seeped
all the way into my gloves.
**[17:05] (Flashback) Teshima**
What am I doing?
**[17:09] (Flashback) Teshima**
I can't believe I'm practicing for
a guy who's about to quit the team.
**[17:13] (Flashback) Teshima**
I must be stupid.
**[17:14] (Flashback) Higashido**
He trained pretty hard for that race, too.
**[17:19] (Flashback) Higashido**
He told me not to tell you because
it'd put pressure on you, though.
**[17:26] (Flashback) Teshima**
Damn it. What was all my effort for?
**[17:31] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
Jun-chan...
**[17:33] (Flashback) Higashido**
Also, Ashikiba, he said you've probably
got more talent than he does.
**[17:40] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
Jun-chan!
**[17:41] (Flashback) Higashido**
Hey, where are you going?
**[17:44] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
Jun-chan!
**[17:47] Ashikiba**
*Jun-chan... Jun-chan... Jun-chan...*
**[17:52] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
I'm sorry, Jun-chan. I'm an idiot.
**[17:56] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
What have I been doing?
**[18:00] Ashikiba**
*Where is he? Where is he?*
**[18:07] Ashikiba**
*Where is he? Is he up this way?*
**[18:14] Ashikiba**
*He's not here.*
**[18:17] Ashikiba**
*Jun-chan!*
**[18:21] Ashikiba**
*This way?*
**[18:23] Ashikiba**
* Come to think of it,*
* Jun-chan had always said...*
**[18:29] (Flashback) Teshima**
Let's do this tomorrow.
**[18:30] (Flashback) Teshima**
You'd better show up to the
race in peak condition.
**[18:33] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
Huh? What?
**[18:34] (Flashback) Teshima**
I'm gonna show you the ultimate sight.
**[18:38] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
Is there a observation platform with
a view of the sea or something?
**[18:40] (Flashback) Teshima**
That's not what I meant...
**[18:44] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
Jun-chan was trying to sacrifice himself
**[18:47] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
to show me the view from the winner's podium.
**[18:53] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
But I heedlessly enjoyed the
view of the mountains that day.
**[18:57] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
I made myself the victim
and skipped practice alone.
**[19:04] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
Jun-chan!
**[19:11] Ashikiba**
*He's not up here.*
**[19:14] Ashikiba**
*Where are you, Jun-chan?*
**[19:18] Ashikiba**
*Is he up this long road?*
**[19:25] Ashikiba**
*It's cold. The water's seeped all the way in.*
**[19:30] Ashikiba**
*Jun-chan's always good at karaoke.*
**[19:34] Ashikiba**
*He entertains everyone with funny medleys.*
**[19:38] Ashikiba**
*I laugh, too.*
**[19:41] Ashikiba**
*I'm always the one being entertained.*
**[19:44] Ashikiba**
* I've never once thought about how*
* it feels to be the entertainer.*
**[19:50] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
Where are you, Jun-chan?
**[19:54] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
You're not here...
**[20:01] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
You're not here.
**[20:04] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
Come on out.
**[20:07] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
Let me apologize to you, Jun-chan!
**[20:21] Ashikiba**
*I hear someone breathing.*
**[20:29] (Flashback) Teshima**
Hey, Shikiba. What are you doing
riding your bike in your uniform?
**[20:34] (Flashback) Teshima**
You'll catch a cold if you
don't wear a raincoat.
**[20:38] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
Jun—
**[20:40] (Flashback) Teshima**
But I'm glad you're riding your bike again.
**[20:44] (Flashback) Teshima**
Since you stopped coming
to practice, I've been worried.
**[20:51] (Flashback) Teshima**
I was actually just thinking
it was wrong of me to force you
**[20:55] (Flashback) Teshima**
to go for the King of the Mountains.
**[21:01] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
Jun-chan!
**[21:02] (Flashback) Teshima**
Hey, whoa! Careful!
**[21:05] (Flashback) Teshima**
Watch what you're doing.
**[21:07] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Jun-chan. I...
**[21:10] (Flashback) Teshima**
Well, it's not like I fell.
You don't need to—
**[21:15] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
I didn't understand how you felt.
**[21:18] (Flashback) Teshima**
Oh, that?
**[21:22] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
I'm sorry I didn't go to last week's event.
**[21:25] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
I heard from, uh, that guy that
you waited at the starting line.
**[21:29] (Flashback) Teshima**
You mean Higashido.
***SIGN*** Chiba Cycling Festival
**[21:33] (Flashback) Teshima**
I just happened to feel like riding
alone that day, so I was waiting.
**[21:38] (Flashback) Teshima**
Don't worry about it.
**[21:42] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
Next time, I'll be the King of the Mountains.
**[21:45] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
Help me do it, Jun-chan.
**[21:48] (Flashback) Teshima**
Shikiba...
**[21:49] (Flashback) Teshima**
I'm glad you feel like
riding your bike again.
**[21:55] (Flashback) Teshima**
I don't know when it'll happen,
**[21:57] (Flashback) Teshima**
but I promise I'll help you
become the King of the Mountains.
**[22:01] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
Yeah.
**[22:05] (Flashback) Teshima**
Shikiba, you wanna start practicing
climbing together from now on?
**[22:10] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
Yeah, Jun-chan.
**[22:21] Teshima**
Ultimately, we were still
inexperienced back then.
**[22:26] Teshima**
We never won the King of the Mountains.
**[22:28] Ashikiba**
Yeah.
**[22:30] Teshima**
And then we went on to
different high schools.
**[22:34] Teshima**
Since then, I've worked myself to death,
**[22:37] Teshima**
and you've developed your talent.
**[22:41] Teshima**
It's taken quite a while.
**[22:44] Teshima**
Our positions and environments
have changed, too.
**[22:47] Teshima**
The mountain result line
up ahead will be mine.
**[22:53] Ashikiba**
It's on.
**[22:56] Ashikiba**
But some things haven't changed.
**[22:58] Ashikiba**
I still feel the same way.
**[23:00] Ashikiba**
I think you still feel the same way.
**[23:06] Ashikiba**
Winning the King of the
Mountains is our goal!
**[23:09] Teshima**
You're attacking, Shikiba?
**[23:12] Ashikiba**
Let's go, Jun-chan!
**[23:14] Ashikiba**
This is our last race!
**[23:17] Teshima**
Bring it on!

Now I'm putting it all on the

I can feel your fervent vibrations
through my handlebars!
**[01:10] Fan**
Hakone Academy passed him!
**[01:15] Fan**
What's wrong with Teshima?
**[01:16] Fan**
He's slowing down after being beaten?
**[01:18] Fan**
Is this the end for him?
**[01:21] Teshima**
I can feel your vibrations, too.
**[01:27] Teshima**
I felt your oppressive will
through my handlebars.
**[01:32] Teshima**
You must've experienced it, too,
since going to Kanagawa.
**[01:37] Teshima**
Immeasurable hardship.
**[01:40] Teshima**
Wait up, Shikiba!
**[01:44] Teshima**
Did you do more than just
develop your talent?
**[01:47] Teshima**
More than diligently attend
Hakone Academy's practices?
**[01:52] Teshima**
Compared to back then,
you've grown quite a bit taller.
**[01:57] Teshima**
Did you worry and suffer for three years?
**[02:01] Teshima**
You've should've talked to me about it.
**[02:04] Teshima**
We're friends, aren't we?
**[02:07] Teshima**
Shikiba!
**[02:10] Teshima**
Don't look so surprised.
Of course I'll catch up to you!
**[02:14] Teshima**
I've experienced plenty of hardship, too.
**[02:17] Teshima**
I even desperately developed
my own ultimate technique.
**[02:22] Teshima**
Ow, my palm cramped.
**[02:26] Teshima**
I'm not fast.
**[02:28] Teshima**
I'm not cool, either.
**[02:30] Teshima**
But my technique is fitting for me.
**[02:33] Teshima**
I'm sure you've heard the
same thing from Manami.
**[02:36] Teshima**
I slowly and steadily
advance towards my ideals.
**[02:43] Teshima**
I push myself as hard as possible.
**[02:45] Teshima**
That's my ultimate technique.
**[02:49] Fan**
Sohoku caught up!
**[02:51] Fan**
He's so determined!
**[02:52] Fan**
Incredible! I'm overwhelmed!
**[02:53] Fan**
There are two kilometers
left to the mountain line!
***SIGN*** Road Race Distance to Mountain Line 2km Remaining
**[02:57] Fan**
One of them's pulling ahead!
**[02:58] Fan**
This time, it's Sohoku!
**[03:00] Fan**
He's attacking right as he caught up!
**[03:05] Teshima**
It's tough. It's brutal.
**[03:07] Teshima**
But now is the time to push myself.
**[03:11] Fan**
He's trying to pull away from Hakone Academy!
**[03:14] Ashikiba**
Jun-chan...
**[03:15] Ashikiba**
Both Jun-chan and I are
riding as hard as we can.
**[03:19] Ashikiba**
It's incredible.
**[03:23] Ashikiba**
Why am I recalling the two of us
in the music room that day now?
**[03:31] Ashikiba**
We're reverberating and
energizing each other.
**[03:36] Ashikiba**
Even though I'm sweating and I'm straining
my body, I feel like I could go anywhere.
**[03:42] Teshima**
What is this? It's crazy.
**[03:45] Teshima**
I'm starting to feel like we
could ride together forever.
**[03:50] Teshima**
But the Inter-High's third day
mountain line is just up ahead.

Keep struggling until the mountain line!
**[05:42] Ashikiba**
Let the classical music keep
playing inside my head!
**[05:46] Both**
Go!
**[05:48] Fan**
Sohoku and Hakone Academy are
locked in a fierce battle!
**[05:51] Fan**
They're so fast!
**[05:53] Fan**
I can feel their intensity!
**[05:55] Teshima**
Stay ahead, stay ahead, stay ahead!
**[05:59] Teshima**
Keep pedaling until you reach
the line, Teshima Junta!
**[06:04] Ashikiba**
I'm catching up, I'm catching up,
I'm catching up!
**[06:08] Ashikiba**
I'll catch up to you, Jun-chan!
**[06:13] Fan**
They looked like they were really struggling.
**[06:16] Fan**
Both of them are going for the mountain line.
**[06:19] Fan**
Who has the advantage?
**[06:21] Fan**
The guy in front is trying to stay ahead.
**[06:24] Fan**
If he can maintain his lead
until the mountain line,
**[06:28] Fan**
then the guy ahead has an advantage.
**[06:30] Fan**
On the other hand, the guy in
back can watch his opponent
**[06:34] Fan**
and look for an opportunity to attack.
**[06:37] Fan**
If he's got the strength left to
do it, then he has an advantage.
**[06:41] Fan**
But it's a close battle. It's probably
tough on them physically.
**[06:46] Fan**
In battles like these,
**[06:47] Fan**
letting your guard down for even
a few seconds can mean defeat.
**[06:52] Fan**
Whoever has the stronger will wins.
**[06:55] Teshima**
Come at me, Shikiba!
**[07:00] Ashikiba**
Don't stop playing!

You're incredible after all.
Just incredible, Jun-chan.
**[07:15] Ashikiba**
Your legs haven't slowed down at all.
**[07:17] Ashikiba**
I'll have to raise my pace little by little.
**[07:23] Teshima**
He raised his pace with one kilometer to go?
**[07:26] Teshima**
You can't be serious.
**[07:27] Teshima**
I'm about to slow my pace
**[07:30] Teshima**
because my arms and legs are
screaming from being overworked.
**[07:36] Teshima**
But it's go time, isn't it, Junta?
**[07:42] Teshima**
Of course, Junta.
**[07:46] Teshima**
Now is the ultimate time to push myself!
**[07:50] Fan**
Teshima accelerated again!
**[07:53] Fan**
Wow!
**[07:55] Teshima**
This is brutal. I feel like
my arms are about fall off.
**[07:59] Teshima**
My heart's about to burst out of my chest.
**[08:02] Teshima**
But keep pushing yourself.
**[08:06] Teshima**
Don't think you're at your limit.
Don't assume you are.
**[08:09] Teshima**
You have no limits!
**[08:12] Teshima**
I have no limits!
**[08:17] Ashikiba**
Jun-chan, it keeps resonating. It won't stop.
**[08:22] Ashikiba**
The music that I thought was playing
inside my head isn't classical music.
**[08:27] Ashikiba**
It's your vibrations.
**[08:32] Fan**
What's going on? Watching number 5
ride is making me tremble.
**[08:38] Fans**
Teshima! Teshima! Teshima!
**[08:38] Fan**
Me, too.
**[08:39] Fan**
You've got this, Teshima!
**[08:41] Fan**
I'm rooting for you, too!
**[08:43] Fan**
Teshima!
**[08:44] Fans**
Teshima! Teshima! Teshima!
**[08:49] Teshima**
Why are they chanting "Teshima"?
**[08:52] Teshima**
Who's Teshima, anyway?
**[08:55] Teshima**
They're not chanting for me, are they?
**[08:57] Teshima**
I'm ordinary. I'm no star.
**[09:01] Teshima**
Why are they all cheering for me?
**[09:06] Teshima**
They've got me all hyped up.
**[09:09] Teshima**
What is this? I'm so excited.
**[09:14] Ashikiba**
I've always watched Jun-chan from behind.
**[09:18] Ashikiba**
You really are incredible, Jun-chan.
**[09:21] Ashikiba**
After this, I'll probably get to see
**[09:23] Ashikiba**
the moment Jun-chan's talent blooms.
**[09:34] Teshima**
Amazing. This pressure from
the spectators is mesmerizing.
**[09:41] Teshima**
Come to think of it, Naruko mentioned
something after last year's Inter-High.
**[09:45] Teshima**
He said the spectators were
crazy on the third day.
**[09:51] Teshima**
The intensity of their cheers were on
another level from the first and second days,
**[09:56] Teshima**
especially in the final mountains.
**[10:01] Fan**
500 meters left to the mountain line!
**[10:04] Fan**
Go, Teshima!
**[10:06] Fan**
Teshima!
**[10:08] Teshima**
Thank you. They're giving me
the power to move forward.
**[10:12] Ashikiba**
You're amazing, Jun-chan.
I've been steadily raising my pace.
**[10:18] Ashikiba**
Do you even realize it yourself?
**[10:21] Ashikiba**
You've raised your own pace.
**[10:24] Ashikiba**
I can't catch up at all.
**[10:26] Ashikiba**
But if I were to use a music analogy,
this is still the prelude.
***SIGN*** Day 3
Mountain Line
**[10:33] Ashikiba**
A quiet melody plays as we emotionally
prepare ourselves before
**[10:38] Ashikiba**
heading into the climax.
**[10:43] Ashikiba**
Jun-chan will probably
reach even higher speeds.
**[10:47] Teshima**
Shikiba, you've always oversold my abilities.
**[10:53] Teshima**
"You're fast. You're amazing. You're worthy."
**[10:57] Teshima**
You showered me with praise
as your eyes glittered.
**[11:02] Teshima**
And each time, I denied everything you said.
**[11:07] Teshima**
But right, now, for some reason,
**[11:12] Teshima**
I feel like believing your words.
**[11:17] Fan**
Sohoku increased his pace again!
**[11:20] Teshima**
I've raised my pace? Me? Really?
**[11:23] Teshima**
That's not possible.
**[11:26] Teshima**
My heart may be pounding with excitement,
**[11:28] Teshima**
but my legs, arms, and the entire
rest of my body are screaming.
**[11:32] Teshima**
No, wait. If I'm prepared
to believe everything,
**[11:35] Teshima**
does that mean my pace has increased?
**[11:38] Teshima**
Wait a minute. Shikiba, if you...
**[11:41] Teshima**
That would mean...
**[11:44] Teshima**
Does that mean you knew since way back then?
**[11:48] Teshima**
That I had a talent I failed
to recognize myself?
***SIGN*** Yowamushi Pedal
**[12:02] Tadokoro**
Two riders are approaching the mountain line.
**[12:06] Tadokoro**
One yellow jersey and one blue jersey.
**[12:09] Tadokoro**
It's us and Hakone Academy.
**[12:11] Tadokoro**
The Hakone Academy rider is that tall guy
**[12:12] Tadokoro**
named Ashikiba who came
to Minegama last year.
**[12:16] Tadokoro**
And Sohoku's rider is...
**[12:19] Tadokoro**
Teshima Junta!
**[12:21] Kinjou**
It's Teshima?
**[12:23] Kinjou**
You're certain it's him, Tadokoro?
**[12:24] Tadokoro**
Yeah, definitely.
**[12:27] Tadokoro**
Kinjou, just how much do you
think I've watched them?
**[12:31] Tadokoro**
That form! Those head movements!
**[12:34] Tadokoro**
That's definitely Teshima.
**[12:36] Tadokoro**
Right there! Go!
Pull ahead of him! That's it!
**[12:42] Makishima**
He can't hear you from all the
way up here, Tadokorocchi.
**[12:46] Kinjou**
Teshima made it this far...
**[12:52] Makishima**
Kinjou, are you talking about
our earlier conversation?
**[12:55] Makishima**
Did you think he'd dropped
out partway through the race?
**[12:58] Makishima**
"I didn't think he'd make it this far."
**[13:01] Makishima**
It's written all over your face.
**[13:03] Makishima**
"I'm sorry."
**[13:07] Kinjou**
Makishima...
**[13:08] Makishima**
You've got nothing to be sorry for.
**[13:11] Makishima**
I even asserted he had no
talent or knack for riding.
**[13:17] Makishima**
But he's well-liked and hard-working.
**[13:21] Makishima**
He had a vibe that made you
think he'd somehow get it done
**[13:24] Makishima**
if you left things up to him.
**[13:27] Makishima**
Talent is a complicated thing.
**[13:31] Makishima**
Those who know what their talent is from
the start speed off in flamboyant fashion.
**[13:35] Makishima**
Those who don't spend so much time lost.
**[13:39] Makishima**
But they've probably got it from the start.
***SIGN*** Talent

They just can't find it
themselves because it's stuck
**[13:45] Makishima**
on top of their heads or on their backs.
**[13:49] Makishima**
That's why someone else has
to find their talent for them.
**[13:54] Makishima**
"So skilled. So amazing."
**[13:55] Makishima**
"Faster than others. A unique feel."
**[14:01] Makishima**
But when you're too close to someone,
it becomes harder to identify,
**[14:06] Makishima**
because you're facing the same way as them.
**[14:07] Tadokoro**
Go!
**[14:10] Makishima**
Someone you only see once in a while or
who suddenly shows up has the easiest time
**[14:15] Makishima**
identifying it.
**[14:18] Ashikiba**
Jun-chan!
**[14:22] Fan**
Hakone Academy caught up in an instant!
**[14:24] Fan**
They've got 300 meters
left to the mountain line!
**[14:28] Teshima**
You caught up in the last 300 meters!
**[14:31] Teshima**
I worked so hard, and now
I'm back at square one?
**[14:35] Ashikiba**
You're amazing, Jun-chan!
**[14:37] Teshima**
You're far more amazing
for catching up to me now.
**[14:40] Teshima**
I'm not—
**[14:42] Teshima**
*I feel like believing your words.*
**[14:48] Teshima**
What's amazing about me?
**[14:52] Ashikiba**
Take a look at the spectators around us.
**[14:55] Fans**
Teshima! Teshima! Teshima!
**[14:56] Ashikiba**
They're all cheering for you.
**[15:02] Ashikiba**
When my seniors asked me what kind
of person Sohoku's Teshima was,
**[15:07] Ashikiba**
I said he was good at karaoke.
**[15:10] Ashikiba**
That he's always been good
at entertaining others.
**[15:15] Ashikiba**
He sings medleys that make everyone laugh.
**[15:18] Ashikiba**
I can't do that. It's an amazing talent.
**[15:22] Teshima**
You told them about my singing?
**[15:24] Teshima**
Th-That has nothing to do with racing.
**[15:26] Teshima**
Why does your air-headedness
have to come through now?
**[15:29] Ashikiba**
No, they're the same.
**[15:32] Ashikiba**
You've just swapped singing
for bicycle racing.
**[15:34] Ashikiba**
You're entertaining everyone right now.
**[15:38] Ashikiba**
Take a look.
**[15:41] Ashikiba**
They're all hoping your efforts
will produce incredible results.
**[15:47] Teshima**
They expect something from me?
**[15:53] Teshima**
I've made them...
**[15:57] Teshima**
expect something from me?
**[16:01] Teshima**
From my riding?
**[16:04] Ashikiba**
You're probably stronger when you're
swaying a group from the inside
***SIGN*** Day 3

You're right. Not only that,
**[16:46] Naruko**
but they're comin' from right

**[16:48] Onoda**
That must mean Teshima-san
is working really hard.
**[16:51] Onoda**
He's using the last bit of
strength he has remaining.
**[16:54] Imaizumi**
That's right. The climber we
trusted and put our faith in
**[16:59] Imaizumi**
is currently in a dead heat

**[17:04] Naruko**

What's with these guys?
**[17:18] Kuroda**
What is this rising pressure?

Why is there so much excitement
around the mountain line?
**[17:27] Kuroda**
Is their exhausted number 5 up there?
**[17:30] Kuroda**
I thought he had no chance
of keeping up with Takuto.
**[17:34] Kuroda**
Has that ordinary guy running
on fumes come back to life?
**[17:40] Kuroda**
I don't get it. This is nonsense.
**[17:43] Kuroda**
What is he, a zombie?
**[17:45] Kuroda**
Did they know that when they sent him?

You kept saying you believed in me.
**[18:17] Teshima**
Maybe I'm the one who believed
in myself the least.
**[18:24] Teshima**
"Believe in yourself."
**[18:26] Teshima**
Trust in the path you've walked,
and have hope for your future.
**[18:33] Teshima**
Try to remember, Teshima Junta.
**[18:36] Teshima**
The path you've walked until now
**[18:40] Teshima**
was hardly ordinary.
**[18:45] Teshima**
You were hardly weak.
**[18:50] Teshima**
Believe in yourself, Teshima Junta.
**[18:54] Teshima**
For a year, you exhausted yourself
keeping up with Imaizumi
**[18:58] Teshima**
and the others at practice.
**[18:59] Teshima**
You learned and trained under Tadokoro-san.
**[19:04] Teshima**
You suddenly found yourself in a race
against Minami at this Inter-High.
**[19:09] Teshima**
You pulled your team when
it was starting to scatter.
**[19:14] Teshima**
You raced two-on-two against Kyoto Fushimi.
**[19:19] Teshima**
You overcame all that.
Believe in yourself, Teshima Junta!

I feel so strange right now.
**[20:21] Ashikiba**
We're wearing different jerseys
with 100 meters to go.
**[20:26] Ashikiba**
But I've been feeling this
strange sense of unity.
**[20:31] Ashikiba**
Even though we've spent
**[20:32] Ashikiba**
the last three years in different places
attending different high schools,
**[20:37] Ashikiba**
I feel like we've spent
grade school, middle school,
**[20:39] Ashikiba**
and high school riding
together at the same time.
**[20:46] Ashikiba**
Like we shared all the same funny, painful,
and difficult high school memories.
**[20:56] Ashikiba**
It's a strange feeling.
**[20:58] Ashikiba**
You know, Jun-chan, there's something
that's always been on my mind.
**[21:07] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
Is that true, Machida-kun?
**[21:10] (Flashback) Higashido**
My name isn't Machida, it's Higashido.
**[21:13] (Flashback) Higashido**
My nickname is Higashimaru.
**[21:15] (Flashback) Higashido**
Remember how Teshima was really depressed
after our last race the other day?
**[21:20] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
Yeah. He said something about losing to
second-year Ima-something and finishing 43rd.
**[21:26] (Flashback) Higashido**
He said he's quitting because there's
no point in racing if he can't win.
**[21:32] (Flashback) Higashido**
There he is. Teshima!
**[21:34] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
Jun-chan!
**[21:36] (Flashback) Teshima**
Hey, Higashido. Shikiba.
**[21:39] (Flashback) Higashido**
Don't quit. You like
bicycle racing, don't you?
**[21:42] (Flashback) Teshima**
That's what you want to talk about?
**[21:44] (Flashback) Teshima**
That rumor's spread this far already?
**[21:46] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
We promised we'd become champions together.
**[21:50] (Flashback) Teshima**
It's true.
**[21:53] (Flashback) Teshima**
There's no point in racing if you can't win.
**[21:57] (Flashback) Teshima**
Liking something and winning
are different after all.
**[22:01] (Flashback) Teshima**
I prepared for that race.
**[22:02] (Flashback) Teshima**
I rode in my final race with
the intention of winning.
**[22:05] (Flashback) Teshima**
I even worked as hard as I could.
**[22:08] (Flashback) Teshima**
But I still achieved nothing.
There's nothing else I can do.
**[22:14] (Flashback) Teshima**
It's simple. It's obvious.
**[22:17] (Flashback) Teshima**
It means I didn't have talent.
**[22:27] (Flashback) Teshima**
That's what it means.
**[22:29] Ashikiba**
*Jun-chan, you're wrong.*
**[22:33] Ashikiba**
*You can't quit, Jun-chan.*
**[22:36] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
You can't quit, Jun-chan.
**[22:38] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
You're always talking about how heart
matters in bicycle racing.
**[22:41] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
You're the one who taught me
that riding is always fun.
**[22:47] (Flashback) Teshima**
About that "heart," Shikiba...
**[22:50] (Flashback) Teshima**
I'm sorry, but mine's been broken.
**[22:57] (Flashback) Teshima**
I seem to have some talent for karaoke,
so I'll form a karaoke club in high school.
**[23:04] (Flashback) Teshima**
I think I'll make up for lost
time by having plenty of fun.
**[23:08] (Flashback) Teshima**
Thanks for your concern.
**[23:13] Ashikiba**
It happened during the last winter
of our third year of middle school.

There's no point in racing if you can't win.

It means I didn't have talent.

I'll form a karaoke club in high school.

**[00:23] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
No! He's wrong.
**[00:26] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
There's no way he's serious
about forming a karaoke club!
**[00:28] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
It's beneath him!
**[00:31] Ashikiba**
*That's right. Last fall,*
**[00:36] Ashikiba**
*Jun-chan saved me in the rain.*
**[00:42] Ashikiba**

All right, let's do this!

**[02:28] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
First, I need to come up with a plan.
**[02:30] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
I'll make him go somewhere with me.
**[02:32] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
We'll do some fun cycling together.
**[02:34] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
His mind will recover while we're riding.
**[02:36] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
Huh? That was surprisingly simple.
**[02:39] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
Bicycles really are amazing.
**[02:44] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
But the question is when.
**[02:47] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
We're third-years now.
We have exams to study for.
**[02:52] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
It's already December, too.
**[02:54] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
I'll need a reason to invite him.
**[02:56] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
Christmas... would be weird.
**[03:00] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
New Year's could work, though.
**[03:02] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
I know! We can visit a shrine
that's somewhere far away!
**[03:04] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
We'll ride our bikes to our
first shrine visit of the year,
**[03:06] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
and pray we pass our exams!
**[03:08] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
That'll work!
**[03:11] Ashikiba**
*I might be a genius.*
**[03:14] (Flashback) Tsubasa**
Onii-chan's being creepy.
He's smiling about something.
**[03:18] (Flashback) Mom**
Takuto, did something good happen?
**[03:21] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
Sort of. Mom, we're not going
anywhere over New Years, right?
**[03:25] (Flashback) Mom**
Oh.
**[03:28] (Flashback) Mom**
I'm sorry.
**[03:29] (Flashback) Mom**
I know it's last minute again,
but yesterday Dad's company reassigned him.
**[03:35] (Flashback) Mom**
We're moving to Kanagawa
at the end of the year.
**[03:38] Ashikiba**
*What?*
**[03:39] (Flashback) Mom**
I'm sorry. I know you have exams.
**[03:42] (Flashback) Mom**
I need to start gathering applications
for high schools in Kanagawa.
**[03:46] Ashikiba**
*What?*
**[03:47] (Flashback) Mom**
We'll be spending New Year's there.
**[03:52] Ashikiba**
What?
**[03:55] (Flashback) Tsubasa**
This is so funny!
**[03:56] Ashikiba**
*What?*

*What?*
**[04:07] Ashikiba**
*What?*
**[04:14] Ashikiba**
*What?*
**[04:17] Ashikiba**
*Why? But what about New Year's?*
**[04:25] (Flashback) Teshima**
Have you heard Hiraken's new song?
**[04:27] (Flashback) Friend**
Yeah.
**[04:28] (Flashback) Teshima**
It's good, right?
**[04:28] (Flashback) Friend**
Yeah!
**[04:29] Ashikiba**
*Jun-chan...*
**[04:31] Ashikiba**
*You need help, but I...*
**[04:36] Ashikiba**
*I can't do anything for you!*

so take care of yourselves.
**[04:50] (Flashback) Student A**
All right, it's winter break.
**[04:53] Student B**
How was your report card?
**[04:54] Student C**
Real bad.
**[04:55] Student D**
Wanna stop by the convenience store?
**[04:56] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
Jun-chan!
**[04:58] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
You're still here. Good.
**[05:00] (Flashback) Teshima**
What's up, Shikiba?
**[05:03] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
Thank you for everything until now.
**[05:07] (Flashback) Teshima**
What's gotten into you?
We didn't graduate today.
**[05:10] (Flashback) Teshima**
Are you saying goodbye forever?
We still have the third semester.
**[05:14] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
I'm sorry I couldn't do anything for you.
**[05:19] (Flashback) Teshima**
Huh?
**[05:20] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
But you're always doing things for me.
**[05:23] (Flashback) Teshima**
What are you talking about?
**[05:26] (Flashback) Teshima**
You're an incredible guy.
Don't worry about it.
**[05:29] (Flashback) Teshima**
Be more confident in yourself.
**[05:33] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
Before it's over, let's shake hands.
**[05:36] (Flashback) Teshima**
What? Over?
**[05:38] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
Humor me.
**[05:45] (Flashback) Teshima**
Is this some kind of magic spell?
**[05:48] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
Yeah.
**[05:50] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
Bye.
**[05:51] (Flashback) Teshima**
Huh? H-Hey!
**[05:57] Ashikiba**
I didn't tell Jun-chan I was moving because
**[06:00] Ashikiba**
I didn't want to give
him more to worry about.
**[06:03] Ashikiba**
I thought I was being strong.
**[06:07] Ashikiba**
Every time I moved, I said so many goodbyes.
**[06:11] Ashikiba**
I'd decided after the last time that
I wouldn't cry when I said goodbye anymore,
**[06:15] Ashikiba**
because it made me sad.
**[06:18] Ashikiba**
But this time...
**[06:21] Ashikiba**
My tears kept falling and wouldn't stop.
**[06:26] Ashikiba**
All my memories until now
kept playing in my head.
**[06:30] Ashikiba**
No matter how much I wiped them away,
the tears kept coming.
***SIGN*** Doremi Moving Company
**[06:41] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
That's Hakone, huh?
**[06:44] Ashikiba**
After we moved to Kanagawa, I realized
I'd lost the team's phone tree,
***SIGN*** Minami Middle School Bicycle Racing Club Phone Tree
**[06:50] Ashikiba**
and that I didn't have Jun-chan's phone number,
since we were never in the same class.
**[06:57] Ashikiba**
I couldn't act on any of my plans to call him
when I got there or write him letters.
**[07:06] Ashikiba**
*What am I doing?*
**[07:14] Ashikiba**
*My bicycle...*
**[07:16] Ashikiba**
*Jun-chan said he was quitting, but if...*
**[07:21] Ashikiba**
*If he keeps riding, then someday...*
**[07:28] Ashikiba**
*Somewhere, I might get to see Jun-chan again.*
**[07:34] Ashikiba**
I chose Hakone Academy for my high
school and joined the bicycle club.
***SIGN*** Hakone Academy Bicycle Racing Club
**[07:45] Ashikiba**
After my struggles and screwing up,
**[07:48] Ashikiba**
in the fall of my second year, when I'd
been banned from racing indefinitely...
**[07:53] (Flashback) Shinkai**
Do you want to try racing with Teshima-kun?
**[07:56] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
What?
**[07:58] Ashikiba**
I was unexpectedly offered a chance to race.
***SIGN*** Hakone Academy Bicycle Racing Club
**[08:07] Ashikiba**
* A race. I haven't been*
* in a race in forever...*
**[08:11] Ashikiba**
* Not only that, but I'll be*
* wearing a Hakone Academy jersey.*
**[08:16] (Flashback) Kaneyan**
Hey, Ashikiba.
**[08:19] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
Kaneyan.
**[08:20] (Flashback) Kaneyan**
They say your ban was lifted.
**[08:23] (Flashback) Kaneyan**
I heard the news.
You're going to race, right?
**[08:25] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
That's right.
**[08:27] (Flashback) Kaneyan**
That's great. You've been practicing so hard.
**[08:30] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
Thanks, but it's a heavy responsibility,
since I'll be wearing a jersey.
**[08:36] (Flashback) Kaneyan**
I'm sure you can do it now.
**[08:39] (Flashback) Kaneyan**
Hold your head high when you get there.
**[08:43] (Flashback) Kaneyan**
Do you have to be up early tomorrow?
**[08:45] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
Yeah. I'm taking the first
train to Minegayama in Chiba.
***SIGN*** Minegayama Hill Climb Race
**[08:52] Ashikiba**
After two years of no contact with Jun-chan,
**[08:56] Ashikiba**
I participated in the Minegayama
Hill Climb Race held in Chiba.
**[09:02] Ashikiba**
I bore a heavy responsibility,
but my heart was leaping...
**[09:09] Ashikiba**
Because Jun-chan's name was
on the list of participants.
**[09:14] Ashikiba**
*He's somewhere up ahead on this course.*
**[09:19] Ashikiba**
* I searched for him as soon as I*
* arrived and only saw him from behind.*
**[09:25] Ashikiba**
*It brought back memories.*
**[09:27] Ashikiba**
*He's grown a little. He's taller now.*
**[09:32] Ashikiba**
* I wonder if he'll be angry that*
* I couldn't get in touch for two years.*
**[09:38] Ashikiba**
*That I moved without saying anything.*
**[09:42] Ashikiba**
*It's okay if he's mad.*
**[09:44] Ashikiba**
* It's okay if he never*
* wants to be friends again.*
**[09:46] Ashikiba**
*I actually kind of think today might be fate.*
**[09:52] Ashikiba**
* Jun-chan said he'd quit riding,*
* and I moved away.*
**[09:57] Ashikiba**
* But we're finally getting to meet*
* again on Minegayama here in Chiba,*
**[10:02] Ashikiba**
*where we used to ride all the time.*
**[10:04] Ashikiba**
*There he is. He's on his bike.*
**[10:07] Ashikiba**
*He's racing. Jun-chan!*
**[10:11] (Flashback) Teshima**
Have you been well?
**[10:14] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
Yeah.
**[10:16] (Flashback) Teshima**
Are you still playing the piano?
**[10:22] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
Sometimes.
**[10:24] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
I'm glad you haven't quit racing.
**[10:29] (Flashback) Teshima**
I felt like riding again.
**[10:33] Ashikiba**
Jun-chan wasn't angry.
**[10:36] Ashikiba**
He spoke kindly to me, just like
he did in middle school,
**[10:39] Ashikiba**
as though picking up where we left off.
**[10:42] Ashikiba**
It felt like such a long and nostalgic time.
**[10:48] Ashikiba**
And at the same time, I understood...
**[10:51] (Flashback) Teshima**
I'm Sohoku's captain now, which means I have
to fight against you and Hakone Academy.
**[11:01] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
And I'm Hakone Academy's next ace, so...
**[11:08] Ashikiba**
...that we were in different places,
and there was a wall between us.
**[11:18] Fan A**
They're both racing up the
hill as fast as they can!
**[11:20] Fan B**
Only 80 meters left to the
third day's mountain line!
**[11:24] Ashikiba**
So I distanced myself from Jun-chan.
**[11:28] Ashikiba**
I suppressed the emotions that
came welling up inside me.
**[11:31] Ashikiba**
Because I thought we couldn't have
fun together the way we used to.
**[11:37] Ashikiba**
If we hadn't been wearing
jerseys when we met again,
**[11:40] Ashikiba**
I think I would've told Jun-chan right away
**[11:45] Ashikiba**
about the two things that
had been on my mind.
**[11:48] Ashikiba**
That I moved away without saying anything.
**[11:52] Ashikiba**
That I had a mountain of things
**[11:54] Ashikiba**
I wanted to ask him about if I'd
had his contact information.
**[11:59] Ashikiba**
But you know, Jun-chan,
I feel so strange right now.
**[12:03] Ashikiba**
I feel like I've already told you about
the things I wanted your advice on.
**[12:08] Ashikiba**
I feel like I've apologized for
moving away without saying anything.
**[12:13] Ashikiba**
This must be the power of bicycles.
**[12:18] Ashikiba**
Just as they brought us back together again,
I think bicycles have a mysterious power.
**[12:24] Ashikiba**
By riding as hard as we can together,
**[12:27] Ashikiba**
our rivalry, the burdens we carry,
**[12:30] Ashikiba**
and all the other unnecessary things
fly past us with the scenery.
**[12:35] Ashikiba**
The wall that should exist
between us has fallen away, too.
**[12:38] Ashikiba**
It's like we're great friends again.
**[12:41] Ashikiba**
Right, Jun-chan?
**[12:45] Fan B**
50 meters left!
**[12:48] Teshima**
Shikiba, do you remember the
Minegayama race last fall?
**[12:55] Teshima**
When I saw your name on
the list, my hands froze.
**[12:59] Sugimoto**
That's right. I found him. Me! *I* did.
**[13:03] Sugimoto**
I know why you're so shocked.
He's from Hakone Academy, after all.
**[13:08] Sugimoto**
If he's coming all the way from
Kangawa, then that must mean...

You were strong today, Jun-chan.
**[18:07] Ashikiba**
More than you were in
any moment before.
**[18:12] Ashikiba**
We stayed neck and neck until the very end,
**[18:14] Ashikiba**
when I thrust my bike across the line.
**[18:17] Ashikiba**
Honestly, I thought I finished first.
**[18:20] Ashikiba**
But you didn't stop pedaling until the end.
**[18:26] Ashikiba**
When I saw your back wearing that yellow
jersey pass me on the left, I was amazed.
**[18:33] Ashikiba**
I was disappointed, but at the same time,
I thought you were cool.
**[18:43] Teshima**
I'm not that great.
**[18:46] Teshima**
Shikiba, I...
**[18:47] Ashikiba**
Be honest, Jun-chan.
**[18:51] Ashikiba**
You're the one who won over the crowd,
**[18:53] Ashikiba**
enthralled them with your riding,
and crossed that line first.
**[18:59] Ashikiba**
When we were riding side by side,
**[19:01] Ashikiba**
I could feel the pressure coming off
you rising every time they cheered.
**[19:06] Ashikiba**
Turning the spectators' strength
into your own is a skill.
**[19:12] Ashikiba**
It's something you used to
do all the time at karaoke.
**[19:17] Teshima**
Are you saying I should let
it get to my head a little?
**[19:19] Ashikiba**
Yes, exactly.
**[19:27] Teshima**
All right, I won the King of the Mountains.
**[19:30] Teshima**
I'm amazing. I won the King of
the Mountains at the Inter-High!
**[19:34] Teshima**
I'm Teshima Junta, the genius climber!
**[19:39] Teshima**
How was that?
**[19:44] Ashikiba**
Great.
**[19:47] Teshima**
I probably would've let it get to
my head like that a long time ago,
**[19:51] Teshima**
but I've experienced a lot since then.
**[19:54] Teshima**
I've suffered a lot, too.
**[19:57] Teshima**
The happiness will probably come later,
but right now, all I feel is gratitude.
**[20:03] Teshima**
For my teammates who supported me,
for my juniors who sent me off,
**[20:07] Teshima**
for my seniors who taught me so much, and...
**[20:13] Teshima**
For you, for riding with me.
***SIGN*** Certain
**[20:23] Teshima**
Thank you. Shikiba, I'm here now
because of you and everyone else.
**[20:29] Teshima**
If any of it had been missing,
I wouldn't have made it here.
**[20:33] Teshima**
I believe it was a miracle.
**[20:38] Teshima**
Though right now I'm so exhausted
I can barely ride straight.
**[20:43] Ashikiba**
Yeah. I'm sure everyone's just as grateful
to you after hearing the results.
**[21:06] Makishima**
Teshima...
**[21:09] (Flashback) Makishima**
Tricks don't work on climbs.
**[21:12] (Flashback) Makishima**
So climb.
**[21:15] Makishima**
You did well, but the race isn't over yet.
**[21:20] Makishima**
The rest of Hakone Academy's
team won't take this lying down.
**[21:23] Kinjou**
He did it.
**[21:24] Makishima**
The advantage they thought they had with
Ashikiba is looking less certain now.
**[21:24] Tadokoro**
Yeah.
**[21:29] Tadokoro**
All right, all right, all right!
**[21:29] Makishima**
The last remaining title is the biggest one.
**[21:32] Makishima**
The finish line.
**[21:34] Makishima**
Hakone Academy will make their
move on the final day's finish line.
**[21:44] Kuroda**
Pull, Yuuto.
**[21:45] Yuuto**
Yes, sir. I know.
**[21:48] Kuroda**
Takuto lost in the mountains?
**[21:50] Kuroda**
Damn it. That's not what I expected.
**[21:53] Yuuto**
I can't believe Ashikiba-san lost.
**[21:55] Yuuto**
What the hell kind of person
is their number five?
**[21:59] Naruko**
They raised their pace when they
saw the results on the board.
**[22:03] Naruko**
Don't fall behind, Onoda-kun.
**[22:05] Sakamichi**
Right!
**[22:06] Imaizumi**
Don't let your guard down, Naruko, Onoda!
**[22:09] Imaizumi**
From here on, it'll be a
race for the finish line.
**[22:12] Sakamichi**
Yeah.
**[22:13] Naruko**
Of course. The overall victory
is riding on that finish line.
**[22:19] Naruko**
It's mine. I'll take it.
**[22:23] Naruko**
I'll do whatever it takes.
**[22:29] Imaizumi**
Naruko?
**[22:31] Sakamichi**
Naruko-kun moved up?
**[22:35] Naruko**
You're awfully assertive, Little Shinkai.
**[22:38] Yuuto**
You're awfully close, Naruko-san.
**[22:40] Yuuto**
You seem full of energy, too,
**[22:42] Yuuto**
even though you've been working
hard the last two days,
**[22:45] Yuuto**
and despite being a sprinter.
**[22:47] Naruko**
The sprinter's blood flows through
your veins, too, doesn't it?
**[22:52] Naruko**
Looks like I'm right.
**[22:54] Naruko**
I can tell.
**[22:56] Naruko**
Shall we race if we meet on
some flats again somewhere?
**[23:03] Yuuto**
Race? We could do that right here,
though it's a climb.
**[23:09] Yuuto**
After all, I'm a climber.
**[23:12] Naruko**
What a coincidence.
**[23:14] Naruko**
I'm actually an all-rounder now, too.

On roads, through towns, across

**[01:40] Kinjou**
They've overcome all manner of
challenges to make it this far.
**[01:44] Kinjou**
They've lifted each other's spirits,
helped one another,
**[01:47] Kinjou**
and at times, sacrificed their

Yeah, all so they can

**[02:15] Yuuto**
Yes, sir. I know.
**[02:18] Naruko**
It's mine. I'll take it.
**[02:21] Naruko**
I'll do whatever it takes.
**[02:29] Mkaishima**
We don't know yet who will reach it first.
**[02:32] Makishima**
There's no way to know how a race

**[02:37] Makishima**
That's why we ride.
**[02:39] Makishima**
We use our entire bodies and

believing in our own potential.
**[02:50] Mob**
Are they okay?
**[02:51] Fan A**
The two lead guys just
bumped into each other.
**[02:54] Fan B**
But neither one flinched.
**[02:56] Fan C**
They're both wearing such
determined expressions.
**[02:59] Naruko**
Not bad, Little Shinkai.
**[03:02] Yuuto**
What? Sorry, but I've got a name. It's Yuuto.
**[03:07] Yuuto**
Could you not address me
relative to my brother?
**[03:10] Naruko**
You've got the willpower to
withstand bein' pushed around,
**[03:13] Naruko**
and you're assertive, too!
**[03:14] Naruko**
I like you, Yuuto!
**[03:18] Yuuto**
I'm impressed. You still have the
strength to hand out compliments?
**[03:22] Yuuto**
Is it because you're a second-year? Or...
**[03:26] Imaizumi**
It's coming, Naruko!
**[03:29] Yuuto**
Yeah!
**[03:30] Sakamichi**
Shinkai-kun jumped ahead!
**[03:32] Yuuto**
Is your answer yes?
**[03:37] Yuuto**
He kept up with my acceleration.
**[03:40] Naruko**
Yeah, that's it. I've been lookin' forward
to seeing that shocked expression.
**[03:48] Naruko**
My answer is no!
**[03:53] Imaizumi**
He's fast. He reacted
instantly and caught up.
**[03:56] Sakamichi**
Naruko-kun is amazing!
**[04:00] Kuroda**
I told Yuuto he could attack
if he saw an opening,
**[04:03] Kuroda**
but I should've known
it wouldn't be that simple.
**[04:07] Manami**
Wow, he really has learned to climb.
**[04:15] Naruko**
Yuuto, you asked earlier if I had strength
to spare because I'm a second-year.
**[04:19] Naruko**
Let me answer you now.
**[04:21] Naruko**
Of course I don't.
**[04:24] Naruko**
I'm here after practicin' a ton and
endurin' all kinds of experiences.
**[04:28] Naruko**
I feel more pressure now
than I did in my first year.
**[04:33] Naruko**
I've pushed myself right up to the limit.
**[04:36] Naruko**
If I let my guard down even
a little, I'll suffer defeat.
**[04:39] Naruko**
I'm obviously tryin' as hard as I can.
**[04:42] Naruko**
But that suits me just fine.
**[04:44] Naruko**
You know what I mean? That's right.
That's what you call...
**[04:50] Naruko**
bein' the flashiest man around!
**[04:53] Fan D**
Naruko attacked on the corner this time!
**[04:56] Fan E**
Wow. He's climbing so nimbly
despite being a former sprinter.
**[04:59] Fan F**
Red hair, red bike!
**[05:02] Fan F**
Everything he does is so flashy!
**[05:06] Naruko**
Well? Y'all feelin' excited?
**[05:11] Naruko**
Behold. This is how I do it.
**[05:14] Naruko**
My Loud and Flashy Climb!
**[05:19] Naruko**
Get pumped, spectators!
**[05:21] Fan D**
He's hyping up the crowd.
**[05:22] Fan E**
What a character!
**[05:24] Fan F**
Naruko, you can do it!
**[05:27] Naruko**
I'll turn that into power!
**[05:31] Yuuto**
Damn it.
**[05:33] Yuuto**
Yeah!
**[05:37] Yuto**
I caught up! I won't let you have your way.
**[05:42] Naruko**
Sorry, Yuuto, but I'm already
doin' things my way!
**[05:49] Naruko**
The flashy way!
**[05:56] Sakamichi**
We caught up, Naruko-kun!
**[05:58] Imaizumi**
Don't jump ahead like that
when you're pulling the team.
**[06:02] Naruko**
Don't be jealous I'm so popular, hotshot.

Finally, I can lie down.
**[07:17] Fan H**
He fell!
**[07:20] Sakamichi**
Imaizumi-kun, Naruko-kun,
did they say someone fell?
**[07:25] Imaizumi**
Yeah.
**[07:25] Naruko**
I heard it, too.
**[07:28] Naruko**
It was probably Teshima-san.
**[07:32] Naruko**
Knowin' him, he was probably so exhausted
from givin' everything he had
**[07:35] Naruko**
that he could barely ride in a straight line.
**[07:40] Naruko**
But he waited for us to
catch up and pass him.
**[07:45] Naruko**
Then gave us a push, saw us off,
**[07:48] Naruko**
and hung on until we were
out of sight before he fell.
**[07:55] Teshima**
Naruko, Imaizumi, Onoda...
**[08:01] Teshima**
These are your final orders.
**[08:04] Teshima**
Work together to take the finish line.

Face forward. Don't look back, Onoda.
**[08:14] Imaizumi**
We've been entrusted with this race.
**[08:16] Imaizumi**
What we need to do only lies ahead.
**[08:19] Imaizumi**
We'll keep advancing at full power.
**[08:21] Imaizumi**
That's our job right now.
**[08:24] Sakamichi**
Yeah. Got it.
**[08:27] Imaizumi**
Let's go, Imaizumi Shunsuke!
**[08:30] Naruko**
Teshima-san, I'll put on just
as much of a show as you did.
**[08:39] Yuuto**
Sohoku's accelerating!
**[08:41] Yuuto**
I told you, I won't let you keep
having your way, Naruko-san.
**[08:46] Yuuto**
Not again.
**[08:47] Yuuto**
I kept him in check.
**[08:49] Yuuto**
He's smiling?
**[08:51] Naruko**
You think you stopped me?
**[08:54] Yuuto**
What?
**[08:54] Naruko**
Did you assume Sohoku would
keep waitin' to see what
**[08:57] Naruko**
Hakone Academy does instead of attackin'?
**[09:00] Yuuto**
An attack?
**[09:02] Yuuto**
Is he signaling the guys behind him?
**[09:08] Yuuto**
Sohoku's ace and #2, Imaizumi-san...
**[09:13] Yuuto**
I won't let you.
**[09:14] Naruko**
You're not goin' anywhere.
**[09:15] Yuuto**
Naruko-san is blocking me.
**[09:17] Yuuto**
Imaizumi-san's planning to attack
while Naruko-san acts as a wall.
**[09:23] Yuuto**
No, that's not it.
**[09:25] Yuuto**
He's taking Sohoku's #1, Onoda-san, with him!
**[09:28] Fan I**
Two of Sohoku's riders
accelerated and jumped ahead!
**[09:32] Fan J**
They're so fast!
**[09:34] Yuuto**
Their ace is pulling their
mountain ace with him.
**[09:36] Yuuto**
This is really bad.
**[09:40] Yuuto**
Please move, Naruko-san.
**[09:42] Naruko**
I'm not goin' anywhere.
**[09:44] Yuuto**
Sohoku's making a move on
the finish line from here.
**[09:47] Yuuto**
Damn it...
**[09:50] Yuuto**
When did you and Imaizumi-san
become such good friends?
**[09:54] Yuuto**
I heard you were fighting over who'd
get to be the ace on the first day.
**[10:00] Naruko**
We've been ridin' all-out for three days.
**[10:03] Naruko**
We've learned how the other thinks
even if we haven't gotten any closer!
**[10:08] Naruko**
I could tell he was itchin' to do something,
**[10:13] Naruko**
so I drew you away from
the rest of your team.
**[10:17] Yuuto**
What?
**[10:21] Yuuto**
He accelerated so I'd be isolated?
**[10:24] Yuuto**
Is he saying this attack
wasn't planned at all,
**[10:27] Yuuto**
and they executed it on the
spur of the moment?
**[10:32] Kuroda**
They got us!
**[10:34] Kuroda**
I thought it was a flashy attack by Naruko,
but #1 and #2 have jumped ahead!
**[10:39] Kuroda**
We're going after them, Manami!
**[10:43] Kuroda**
What are you doing? We're accelerating.
**[10:46] Kuroda**
What's wrong with you?
**[10:48] Kuroda**
We're racing for the finish line. Move, Manami!
**[10:50] Kuroda**
Don't start with your oddball crap now!
**[10:55] Manami**

**[11:28] Fan K**

barely in range to catch up.
**[11:35] Fan L**
No, look at that jersey.
**[11:38] Fan L**
They're gonna try to catch up!
**[11:40] Fan L**
And there's two of them, not just one.
**[11:49] Fan K**
That's the yellow number tag of

**[11:53] Fan K**
It's Kyoto Fushimi!
**[11:54] Fan L**
That's #111, their ace Midousuji Akira,

yesterday's sprint after being subbed in.
**[12:11] Fan L**

He was exuding so much pressure as
he passed us that he looked huge.
**[12:17] Fan L**
He's a monster.

See? What did I tell you, Mizuta-kun?
**[12:28] Midousuji**
Before we entered the mountains,
**[12:32] Midousuji**
I said Sohoku would challenge Hakone Academy
**[12:35] Midousuji**
and reduce their numbers if we let them go.
**[12:39] Midousuji**
Exactly as planned!
**[12:45] Komari**
Mizuta-san disappeared at some
point while drenched in sweat,
**[12:50] Komari**
gnashing his teeth and screaming complaints.

**[13:35] Midousuji**
What's wrong? Your legs seem exhausted.
**[13:38] Midousuji**
You're riding all the way back

**[13:44] Midousuji**
Could it be that you challenged
Sohoku's skinny seaweed head,

**[13:57] Ashikiba**
It wasn't pointless, Midousuji!

**[14:03] Midousuji**
What are you screaming wide-eyed at me for?
**[14:07] Midousuji**
Friendship? Pride?

**[14:12] Midousuji**
You're such a cool guy, Ashikiba-kun.
**[14:17] Midousuji**
So tall, kind, and considerate of your friends.
**[14:22] Midousuji**
But let me tell you something.
**[14:27] Midousuji**
When it comes to winning road races,
you don't need any of that.
**[14:33] Midousuji**
All that crap is worth less than trash.
**[14:38] Ashikiba**
Calm down, Takuto.
**[14:41] Ashikiba**
If Kyoto Fushimi is here...
**[14:44] Ashikiba**
If they've caught up,
**[14:46] Ashikiba**
that means they're going after
Yuki-chan and the others ahead of us.
**[14:49] Ashikiba**
I'll stop them here.
**[14:50] Ashikiba**
I won't let them get any farther ahead.
**[14:55] Ashikiba**
Yuki-chan listened to my
request and sent me off.
**[15:01] Ashikiba**
When he passed me earlier,
even though I lost in the mountains,
**[15:07] Ashikiba**
he gently patted me on the back.
**[15:09] (Flashback) Kuroda**
No regrets, Takuto?
**[15:12] (Flashback) Kuroda**
Leave the rest to us.
**[15:16] Ashikiba**
Thank you, Yuki-chan.
**[15:20] Ashikiba**
I don't feel a shred of regret.
**[15:25] Ashikiba**
So I won't let them reach Yuki-chan.
**[15:29] Ashikiba**
That's the last thing I can do for them.
**[15:35] Midousuji**
You suddenly got a scary look in your eye.

So scary.

**[15:51] Midousuji**
or your disgraceful loss at the finish line
despite there being two of you.
**[15:58] Midousuji**
But now you're suddenly looking at me
like you won't let me pass you.
**[16:05] Midousuji**
Sorry, but I've gotta go. I'm in a hurry.
**[16:09] Midousuji**
See you later, Ashikiba-kun.
**[16:12] Ashikiba**
He read my mind. He's getting away!
**[16:15] Ashikiba**

It could be worse,

but your parched and used-up flesh
doesn't inspire me to make any noise.

You really have no restraint, do you?

**[18:57] Midousuji**
After riding hundreds of kilometers
since the first day's start,
**[19:03] Midousuji**
with ten kilometers remaining...
**[19:06] Midousuji**
When Hakone and Sohoku's teams are
scattered after a desperate battle,
**[19:12] Midousuji**
I finally caught up.
**[19:17] Kuroda**
Were you serious, Fukutomi-san?
**[19:20] (Flashback) Fukutomi**
Hakone Academy, Sohoku, and Kyoto Fushimi!
It will be an era of three powerhouses!
**[19:28] Kuroda**
Damn! It's come to pass!
**[19:30] Midousuji**
Just... as planned!
**[19:35] Kuroda**
He's here! He's so fast.
**[19:37] Kuroda**
No, I already knew he was fast.
**[19:41] Kuroda**
I should be keeping an eye on Kishigami.
**[19:45] Komari**
Can I really touch him, Midousuji-san?
**[19:50] Midousuji**
Sure. You'd touch him even
if I tried to stop you.
**[19:59] Kuroda**
Touch? Is he going to do that again?
**[20:02] Kuroda**
What kind of mumbo jumbo is that?
**[20:04] Komari**
Okay, I'll touch him.
**[20:06] Komari**
The ultimate climber's flesh, built up by
the mountains, is right before my eyes!
**[20:13] Komari**
How could I resist such a
delectable mountain dish?
**[20:21] Kuroda**
He's after Manami.
**[20:23] Komari**
Buffet!
**[20:25] Yuuto**
Kyoto Fushimi caught up?
**[20:30] Yuuto**
Two Sohoku riders are ahead,
trying to get away.
**[20:33] Yuuto**
What should I do?
**[20:34] Yuuto**
What should I do?
**[20:39] Sakamichi**
Kyoto Fushimi is right
behind us, Imaizumi-kun!
**[20:45] Imaizumi**
Midousuji...
**[20:52] Imaizumi**
There are less than ten kilometers
left to the finish line.
**[20:55] Imaizumi**
We should stop for a moment
to prepare ourselves.
**[20:59] Imaizumi**
No, it doesn't look like
we'll have time for that!
**[21:05] Imaizumi**
Let's go, Sakamichi. We'll keep accelerating.
**[21:09] Sakamichi**
Yeah.
**[21:11] Imaizumi**
The rest of the team entrusted
us with these jerseys.
**[21:14] Imaizumi**
We'll take them across the finish line first!
**[21:17] Sakamichi**
Let's go, Imaizumi-kun!
**[21:27] Komari**
What? The silent rider?
**[21:30] Kuroda**
I won't let you keep pulling the same tricks!
**[21:33] Kuroda**
It's just plain creepy.
**[21:36] Manami**
Impressive, Kuroda-san.
You're always so quick.
**[21:40] Kuroda**
This is no time to be impressed.
**[21:42] Kuroda**
#1 and #2 have accelerated.
**[21:44] Kuroda**
Now we're dealing with Kyoto Fushimi, too.
**[21:46] Kuroda**
You're the only one who can do
anything about this situation.
**[21:50] Komari**
No... This isn't the flesh I wanted to touch.
**[21:55] Kuroda**
Go after them!
**[21:56] Kuroda**
I'll hold these guys back
and catch up to you!
**[22:00] Komari**
My mountain dish is climbing away.
**[22:04] Manami**
I'll be waiting.
**[22:05] Kuroda**
Don't worry, I won't let you get lonely.
**[22:09] Kuroda**
There's still more I wanted
to talk to you about.
**[22:12] Komari**
It's climbing away!
**[22:14] Kuroda**
Move up.
**[22:17] Komari**
I whiffed...
**[22:25] Kuroda**
I like that look in your eyes, Manami. Good.
**[22:29] Kuroda**
You're always most dependable when
you've got that look in your eyes.
**[22:34] Kuroda**
Go, Manami Sangaku!
**[22:38] Manami**
Yes, sir!
**[22:41] Kuroda**
Kyoto Fushimi...
**[22:42] Kuroda**
Sorry, but I'm not letting you get past me.
**[22:49] Midousuji**
How are you going to stop us
when it's two against one, Kuroda-kun?
**[22:56] Midousuji**
Your determination was for naught.
**[23:00] Kuroda**
Midousuji's getting ahead.
**[23:04] Kuroda**
Yu—
**[23:08] Yuuto**
Who said it was two against one?
**[23:12] Kuroda**
Yuuto!

Kyoto Fushimi is right
behind us, Imaizumi-kun!
**[00:13] Imaizumi**
Midousuji...
**[00:16] Imaizumi**
There are less than ten kilometers

How are you going to stop us when
it's two against one, Kuroda-kun?
**[01:09] Midousuji**
Your determination was for naught.

Midousuji's getting ahead.

Yu—
**[01:21] Yuuto**
Who said it was two against one?
**[01:26] Kuroda**
Yuuto!
**[01:27] Midousuji**
Shinkai Yuuto-kun, who'd been riding ahead,
dropped back as Minami moved up.
**[01:35] Yuuto**
Now it's two against two.
**[01:37] Yuuto**
Sorry, Midousuji-san, but I'm not letting
Kyoto Fushimi get any farther ahead.
**[01:46] Kuroda**
Yuuto...

**[03:23] Midousuji**
You won't let me?
**[03:25] Midousuji**
You're spitting fighting words at *me?*
**[03:28] Midousuji**
*After* you disgracefully lost to me
**[03:34] Midousuji**
at such a critical moment during
yesterday's final sprint?
**[03:51] Midousuji**
Oh? Who are you, exactly?
**[03:54] Yuuto**
Well, they call me the Peak Hornet.
**[03:59] Midousuji**
You're fast.
**[04:01] Yuuto**
Yes, I am.
**[04:03] Midousuji**
That was your maximum acceleration.
**[04:07] Yuuto**
Well, we are in the final stages of the race.
**[04:09] Midousuji**
So you're driven by your hopes
and dreams for the Inter-High?
**[04:13] Yuuto**
I've been wanting to race in
the Inter-High for a while.
**[04:18] Yuuto**
In my case, I had something to prove.
**[04:22] Yuuto**
Of course, now—
**[04:24] Midousuji**
Now!
**[04:33] Yuuto**
Now that's changed a little.
**[04:37] Midousuji**
So cool...
**[04:39] Midousuji**
Your composed manner of speaking,
the power bar you keep with you...
**[04:46] Midousuji**
Your impressive reflexes,
your precise movements...
**[04:52] Midousuji**
But I can tell.
**[04:55] Midousuji**
When I look closely, I can tell those are
the movements of a man nearing his limit.
**[05:02] Midousuji**
You're actually straining yourself, aren't you?
**[05:05] Yuuto**
You knew?
**[05:07] Kuroda**
Yuuto!
**[05:08] Yuuto**
Kuroda-san.
**[05:10] Yuuto**
Not even you could've stopped
these two by yourself.
**[05:17] Kuroda**
Yuuto, you idiot. Why'd you drop back?
**[05:21] Kuroda**
You were riding with Naruko.
**[05:24] Kuroda**
We sent Manami.
**[05:25] Kuroda**
You should've outmaneuvered
Naruko and gone with Manami.
**[05:31] Kuroda**
There were two Sohoku riders
ahead of you trying to get away.
**[05:34] Kuroda**
What Hakone Academy should be
doing is chasing after them
**[05:36] Kuroda**
with as many riders as possible.
**[05:38] Yuuto**
Well, you know...
**[05:40] Yuuto**
I thought the mountains up ahead might
be a little too steep for me right now.
**[05:49] Kuroda**
I see. Since he's always so composed,
competitive, and easygoing, I'd forgotten.
**[05:57] Kuroda**
He's still only a first-year.
**[05:59] Kuroda**
He's worked hard on the front lines
since we entered the mountains.
**[06:04] Kuroda**
And now, his legs are...
**[06:07] Yuuto**
Besides, you're better suited
to ride with Manami-san.
**[06:14] Yuuto**
I can be egotistical.
**[06:16] Yuuto**
Once we're near the finish line,
**[06:18] Yuuto**
I might end up challenging Manami-san
and try to push him aside.
**[06:23] Kuroda**
You don't have the strength left to do that.
**[06:27] Yuuto**
So you go on ahead, Kuroda-san.
**[06:31] Yuuto**
I'll stop these two...
**[06:40] Yuuto**
Yeah!
**[06:42] Yuuto**
While my legs still move!
**[06:45] Kuroda**
Yuuto!
**[06:46] Midousuji**
Gross!
**[06:47] Yuuto**
I've stopped him! Move up on
the counter, Kuroda-san!
**[06:54] Kuroda**
Yuuto!
**[06:56] Yuuto**
Kuroda-san...
**[06:58] Yuuto**
There's another reason I dropped back.
**[07:02] Yuuto**
I've changed a little.
**[07:04] Yuuto**
After riding and fighting alongside
the team for three days...
**[07:09] Yuuto**
After watching how Ashikiba-san,
Kuroda-san, and Izumida-san rode...
**[07:15] Yuuto**
Honestly, before the race started,
I only cared about me winning.
**[07:22] (Flashback) Yuuto**
My team doesn't know this, but...
**[07:26] (Flashback) Yuuto**
I came to the Inter-High to challenge you.
**[07:31] Yuuto**
But now...
**[07:33] Yuuto**
Now, I...
**[07:36] Yuuto**
Now, I want Hakone Academy's jersey to win!
**[07:42] Yuuto**
Win the race, Kuroda-san!
**[07:44] Kuroda**
I'm already on it!
**[07:49] Kuroda**
Thank you, Yuuto.
**[07:51] Midousuji**
You let your teammate get ahead by
blocking the inside of a 180-degree turn.
**[07:56] Midousuji**
A clever plan, Yuuto.
**[08:00] Yuuto**
Well, you know...
**[08:01] Yuuto**
But stopping you guys by myself won't be easy.
**[08:10] Yuuto**
If I allow Midousuji-san
to go after him right away,
**[08:12] Yuuto**
then this will have been pointless.
**[08:14] Yuuto**
It all comes down to how
long I can hold him back.
**[08:17] Midousuji**
Why are you looking at me like that?
**[08:20] Midousuji**
You're so cool, aren't you?
**[08:22] Midousuji**
What? What's wrong?
**[08:24] Midousuji**
Your movements are slow.
You're short of breath.
**[08:29] Midousuji**
What happened to your cool
mannerisms and smart remarks?
**[08:33] Midousuji**
Look at how close I am.
**[08:35] Midousuji**
I thought speed and proximity were
supposed to be your specialties.
**[08:43] Yuuto**
Damn it. My legs feel so heavy.
**[08:45] Midousuji**
Now then, maybe I'll go after him.
**[08:48] Midousuji**
I could still easily catch up to
Kuroda-kun and Manami.
**[08:57] Yuuto**
Damn it. He's got me in the palm of his hand.
**[09:00] Midousuji**
What a shame.
**[09:02] Midousuji**
Your desperate attempt to
buy time was for nothing!
**[09:10] Yuuto**
Yeah!
**[09:14] Yuuto**
You're not going anywhere.
I'm going to stop you.
**[09:17] Yuuto**
Speed and proximity are my specialties!
**[09:21] Yuuto**
Yeah!
**[09:23] Fan A**
Did you see that?
**[09:25] Fan B**
He accelerated to stop Kyoto Fushimi!
**[09:28] Fan C**
Wow!
**[09:29] Fan D**
But #16 looks like he's struggling.
He's sweating so much.
**[09:35] Midousuji**
Huh? I thought Komari-kun had
caught up, but it's you again.
**[09:43] Midousuji**
You're persistent.
**[09:45] Yuuto**
This is brutal. My legs fight moving.
I pushed myself too hard.
**[09:55] Yuuto**
Damn. I'm out of power bars.
**[10:02] Yuuto**
My bottle's empty, too.
**[10:04] Yuuto**
But I can't let him go yet.
**[10:07] Yuuto**
It'll come down to how
long I can hold him here.
**[10:10] Midousuji**
Huh?
**[10:11] Midousuji**
Did you just wobble a little?
**[10:15] Midousuji**
Are you okay? Are your legs shot?
**[10:18] Midousuji**
Your hands must feel numb, too.
**[10:22] Midousuji**
You don't need to push yourself so hard.
**[10:24] Midousuji**
You should seek treatment right away.
**[10:26] Midousuji**
After all, nothing's more
important than your health.
**[10:29] Midousuji**
You should get off your
bike as soon as you can.
**[10:34] Midousuji**
You'll feel more comfortable.
**[10:36] Yuuto**
Comfortable? Yeah, I'm sure I would be.
**[10:41] Yuuto**
My vision has been going blurry, too.
**[10:43] Yuuto**
This situation is difficult and drab, but...
**[10:49] Yuuto**
But...
**[10:50] Midousuji**
You don't have to keep going.
**[10:52] Midousuji**
Your seniors will forgive you if
you shamefully stop pedaling now.
**[10:59] Midousuji**
After all, you're still only a first-year.

**[11:13] (Flashback) Shinosan**
Good luck.

Thank you.
**[11:15] (Flashback) Kaneyan**
Pretty impressive for a first-year.
**[11:18] (Flashback) Shinosan**
Yeah.

I have your guidance to thank for that.
**[11:24] (Flashback) Kaneyan**
Yeah, right.
**[11:26] (Flashback) Shinosan**
You looked down on us at first, didn't you?
**[11:32] (Flashback) Kaneyan**
We're third-years now.
**[11:34] (Flashback) Kaneyan**
We'll never wear Hakone Academy's
jersey at the Inter-High.
**[11:38] (Flashback) Kaneyan**
Look after Takuto, Yuki, and Izumida for us.
**[11:42] (Flashback) Kaneyan**
You're still only a first-year.
**[11:44] (Flashback) Kaneyan**
You'll probably be made to
take on drab and tough jobs.
**[11:47] (Flashback) Kaneyan**
They might feel like forgotten
and thankless jobs,
**[11:49] (Flashback) Kaneyan**
but I guarantee those efforts
will help the team down the line.
**[11:55] (Flashback) Kaneyan**
This is my advice for you:
**[11:57] (Flashback) Kaneyan**
No matter how tough things get,
remember these words.
**[12:01] (Flashback) Kaneyan**
Yuuto...
**[12:03] (Flashback) Kaneyan**
Don't give up.
**[12:06] Yuuto**
Why? Why am I suddenly
remembering that day now?
**[12:12] Yuuto**
I'd forgotten until now.
**[12:15] Yuuto**
Is that something I should be remembering
when I'm under so much strain?
**[12:18] Yuuto**
"Don't give up," huh?
**[12:20] Yuuto**
There's no way I can give up.
**[12:25] Yuuto**
Is this what it means to
ride as part of a team?
**[12:29] Yuuto**
Hakone Academy is insane.
**[12:33] Yuuto**
It's a mighty team.
**[12:36] Midousuji**
His dying flame flared up again.
**[12:41] Komari**
What are you doing, Midousuji-san?
**[12:44] Komari**
Just ignore his obviously exhausted flesh.
**[12:47] Komari**
I have no interest in it or him.
**[12:51] Komari**
Let's go to the climbing flesh
that waits ahead of us!
**[12:54] Komari**
To Manami Sangaku.
**[12:57] Yuuto**
To Manami-san?
**[12:59] Komari**
Or would it be all right
for me to go without you?
**[13:05] Midousuji**
Yeah, sure.
**[13:08] Komari**
Climbing flesh!
**[13:10] Komari**
To the flesh!
**[13:13] Yuuto**
Seriously? Kyoto Fushimi's sending #116, too?
**[13:20] Yuuto**
But...
**[13:22] Yuuto**
I've gotta go.
**[13:25] Yuuto**
My body is way past its limit,
**[13:28] Yuuto**
but my answer is...
**[13:29] Yuuto**
Yes!
**[13:34] Komari**
What?
**[13:35] Komari**
How? He caught up?
**[13:37] Komari**
Using his tattered flesh,
which should be exhausted?
**[13:42] Yuuto**
I won't give up!
**[13:45] Komari**
Could it be? No, it must be.
**[13:49] Midousuji**
Shall we go now, Komari-kun?
**[13:53] Midousuji**
We're running out of time for playing games.
**[13:57] Midousuji**
We'll resume our pursuit.
**[14:00] Yuuto**
If they get away from me now...
**[14:04] Midousuji**
Komari-kun?
**[14:10] Komari**
I'm sorry, Midousuji-san.
You go on without me.
**[14:13] Komari**
I've become interested in this flesh.
**[14:17] Komari**
This flesh that should be
exhausted is still moving.
**[14:21] Komari**
They say skilled riders
**[14:23] Komari**
use completely different muscles
at the start and end of a race.
**[14:28] Komari**
The glutes, the lats, the quads,
and of course, the abs.
**[14:32] Komari**
The muscles extending from the hips
to the muscles of the upper leg,
**[14:35] Komari**
and the muscles attached to the scapula.
**[14:37] Komari**
Each muscle that we think
of a singular muscle
**[14:39] Komari**
has an important function and
is split into many parts.
**[14:43] Komari**
Muscles lose their mobility as
they accumulate lactic acid.
**[14:46] Komari**
In bicycle racing, it's the sensation
of your legs being completely spent.
**[14:51] Komari**
But what if you had other
muscles you could use?
**[14:54] Komari**
What if you could turn your pedals with
something other than your leg muscles?
**[14:58] Komari**
That's right.
**[14:59] Komari**
You could continue moving even after you
thought your muscles were exhausted!
**[15:03] Yuuto**
What is he talking about?
**[15:04] Komari**
But this is all theoretical.
**[15:08] Komari**
That's right.
**[15:08] Komari**
Normally it's impossible to
have such precise control
**[15:10] Komari**
over which muscles you're using.
**[15:12] Komari**
But think about it.
**[15:14] Komari**
The human body is made
of blood, flesh, and bone.
**[15:18] Komari**
Imagine it.
**[15:20] Komari**
Can you control your blood?
**[15:23] Komari**
Can you control your bones?
**[15:25] Komari**
No, but that's right.
You can control your flesh.
**[15:30] Yuuto**
I thought he was accelerating,
**[15:32] Yuuto**
but now he's slowing down to turn around and
throw me off by saying confusing things?
**[15:37] Yuuto**
I'm not falling for that.
**[15:40] Yuuto**
I want Hakone Academy's jersey to win!
**[15:44] Komari**
See? He moved again. I knew it.
**[15:48] Komari**
Don't get the wrong idea.
**[15:49] Komari**
It's not your powerful will or determination
that's moving your body right now.
**[15:55] Komari**
It's your muscle control.
**[15:57] Komari**
They say it's possible to manipulate
specific muscles by knowing them well,
**[16:01] Komari**
being aware of their parts,
and imagining their movements.
**[16:05] Komari**
But there are those who consciously
achieve that through hard work
**[16:09] Komari**
and geniuses who naturally
achieve that through feel.
**[16:12] Komari**
And there's one essential condition
to controlling your muscles by feel.
**[16:19] Komari**
High quality flesh that obediently
submits to your instincts.
**[16:25] Yuuto**
Kyoto Fushimi's #116, Kishigami Komari...
**[16:29] Yuuto**
Is this guy for real?
**[16:33] Komari**
Your legs appear to be exhausted,
and yet they're still moving.
**[16:38] Komari**
You're hiding something, aren't you?
**[16:39] Komari**
You must be hiding something,
Hakone Academy first-year Shinkai Yuuto!
**[16:45] Komari**
What are you using to ride?
**[16:47] Komari**
Your iliopsoas? Your obliques?
**[16:49] Komari**
No, if you're doing it subconsciously,
then you wouldn't know.
**[16:53] Komari**
Your ability to move exceeds my imagination.
**[16:57] Komari**
Your exceptional flesh comes from good stock.
**[17:02] Komari**
Let me touch your Stealth Impact
so I can feel it for myself!
**[17:06] Komari**
Impact!
**[17:08] Yuuto**
This is what Kuroda-san was worried about.
**[17:11] Yuuto**
I'm not letting you touch me!
**[17:16] Midousuji**
Komari-kun, we're in the
final stages of the race.
**[17:20] Midousuji**
I expected him to stop somewhere before
we reached the finish line, but...
**[17:28] Midousuji**
I never thought Shinkai Yuuto-kun's
efforts would stop Komari-kun.
**[17:36] Midousuji**
Komari-kun, you really have no restraint.
**[17:41] Midousuji**
That's fine. You did plenty
on the first and second days.
**[17:48] Midousuji**
I can take it from here.
**[17:50] Midousuji**
Besides, the area ahead...
**[17:53] Midousuji**
can only be entered by those
who earnestly desire victory!
**[17:59] Midousuji**
Those who lack strength,
those who fell to strategies,
**[18:02] Midousuji**
and those who seek something
else cannot enter this place!
**[18:06] Midousuji**
Here, before the finish line!
**[18:09] Midousuji**
Victory, victory, victory!
**[18:14] Fan E**
Whoa, did you feel that gust?
**[18:15] Fan F**
He rode just inside the white
line on this wide course!
**[18:20] Fan E**
Is he trying to shave centimeters
and seconds off his time?
**[18:25] Fan E**
It's finally go time for Kyoto Fushimi!
***SIGN*** Yowamushi Pedal
**[18:38] Manami**
I see. After that, Yuuto...
**[18:41] Kuroda**
Yeah. Thanks to him, I caught up to you.
**[18:46] Kuroda**
I was worried we were babying him.
**[18:48] Kuroda**
There was a time when I thought he
didn't know his place on the team
**[18:52] Kuroda**
because everyone treated him so gingerly
as Shinkai-san's younger brother.
**[18:56] Kuroda**
But he understood what he had to do.
**[19:01] Minami**
Sounds promising.
**[19:04] Kuroda**
You know, he once asked me for advice.
**[19:08] Minami**
Advice?
**[19:09] Kuroda**
About you, Manami.
**[19:11] Manami**
Huh?
***SIGN*** Hakone Academy Bicycle Racing Club
**[19:14] (Flashback) Yuuto**
Tell me, Kuroda-san.
**[19:16] (Flashback) Yuuto**
There's something I need to make
clear before the Inter-High.
**[19:20] (Flashback) Yuuto**
How can I make Manami-san take me seriously?
**[19:26] (Flashback) Yuuto**
Didn't the legendary climber
Toudou-san recognize his skill?
**[19:29] (Flashback) Yuuto**
I want to beat him.
**[19:31] (Flashback) Yuuto**
But he's always dodging my challenges,
smiling, and won't climb all-out against me.
**[19:37] (Flashback) Kuroda**
The other day at practice,
**[19:39] (Flashback) Kuroda**
you celebrated because you reached
the top of the mountain before him.
**[19:43] (Flashback) Yuuto**
I found out later that he wasn't even trying.
**[19:47] (Flashback) Yuuto**
He was gossiping about how
I must've tried really hard.
**[19:51] (Flashback) Kuroda**
He did that to build up your confidence.
**[19:56] (Flashback) Kuroda**
Shouldn't you be thanking him?
**[19:58] (Flashback) Yuuto**
Well, it's not working.
**[20:00] (Flashback) Yuuto**
I rode like crazy to win group F
of the selection tournament.
**[20:05] (Flashback) Yuuto**
But Manami-san got out of climber group C
with Hakone Academy's first-ever bye.
**[20:10] (Flashback) Yuuto**
He won a number tag without
having to fight for it.
**[20:15] (Flashback) Yuuto**
I want to know how he rides.
**[20:16] (Flashback) Yuuto**
I want to beat him,
**[20:18] (Flashback) Yuuto**
so I can prove I'm the climber, Shinkai Yuuto.
**[20:22] (Flashback) Kuroda**
Don't glare at me like that.
**[20:25] (Flashback) Kuroda**
There is definitely a way to make him go all-out.
**[20:30] (Flashback) Kuroda**
But...
**[20:32] (Flashback) Kuroda**
I doubt you'll see it.
I'm not even sure I will.
**[20:38] Kuroda**
"Because he only goes all-out on the
third and final day of the Inter-High,"
**[20:43] Kuroda**
"before the finish line
in the final mountains."
**[20:45] Manami**
You really talked me up, Kuroda-san.
**[20:48] Manami**
Don't expect anything impressive from me.
**[20:49] Kuroda**
Oh, but you will impress me.
**[20:54] Kuroda**
I know how hard you've worked this past year.
**[20:57] Kuroda**
I know you burdened yourself
with a heavy responsibility
**[21:01] Kuroda**
and became depressed after placing
second at last year's Inter-High.
**[21:05] Kuroda**
And I know you got over it and have
become unbelievably strong, too.
**[21:11] Manami**
It's not like I worked that hard.
**[21:14] Manami**
I was always late to Sunday practice.
**[21:18] Kuroda**
You're just that confident, huh?
**[21:20] Kuroda**
That's why it doesn't bother you that
this red guy is right behind us.
**[21:27] Manami**
I tried to accelerate past him,
but Naruko-kun followed me up here.
**[21:37] Naruko**
I'm not lettin' Hakone Academy slip past me.
**[21:39] Naruko**
I jumped on board.
**[21:41] Naruko**
I won't let y'all have it your way.
**[21:43] Kuroda**
Manami, are you confident?
**[21:46] Manami**
Yes. He's not much of a climber.
**[21:49] Manami**
I could accelerate and leave
him in my dust at any time.
**[21:54] Naruko**
We're in the final mountains,
with less than ten kilometers
**[21:56] Naruko**
to the finish line.
**[21:58] Naruko**
Onoda-kun and hotshot are up ahead,
trying to stay out of reach.
**[22:01] Naruko**
A minor miscalculation here
could affect who wins.
**[22:06] Naruko**
Though it seems like nothing's happenin',
the situation is fraught.
**[22:11] Naruko**
I can feel the cracklin' tension.
**[22:15] Naruko**
I feel like I'm on fire!
**[22:17] Naruko**
My red blood's about to start boilin'!
**[22:22] Naruko**
You could leave me in your dust anytime?
**[22:25] Naruko**
Is that what you said, Manami?
**[22:27] Manami**
Yeah, I stated it clearly.
**[22:30] Naruko**
On this climb?
**[22:32] Manami**
Yes, since you're not much of a climber.
**[22:38] Naruko**
In that case...
**[22:39] Naruko**
Shall we race, Manami?
**[22:43] Kuroda**
He slipped through the
30-centimeter gap between us.
**[22:48] Manami**
Your riding's faster and more
precise than it was last year.
**[22:55] Naruko**
I'm the man who never stops evolvin',
the genius Naruko Shoukichi!
**[23:01] Naruko**
You interested, Manami?
**[23:03] Minami**
You're challenging me here,
in these mountains?
**[23:07] Naruko**
Your hearin' must be pretty
good if you caught all that.
**[23:10] Kuroda**
He heightened his focus.
**[23:13] Manami**
Let's go!

**[00:04] Naruko**
Shall we race, Manami?
**[00:08] Kuroda**
He slipped through the
30-centimeter gap between us.
**[00:12] Manami**
You're challenging me here,
in these mountains?
**[00:16] Naruko**
Your hearin' must be pretty
good if you caught all that.
**[00:19] Manami**
Let's go!
**[00:25] Naruko**
Damn, he's fast.
**[00:26] Naruko**
That's Manami Sangaku.
**[00:29] Naruko**
Are you a flippin' bullet train?
**[00:35] Manami**
Oh? You kept up.
**[00:37] Manami**
I can tell you're straining yourself.
**[00:39] Naruko**
Of course I am. I'm racin'
against a bullet train here.
**[00:43] Manami**
How far do you plan on riding this train?
**[00:45] Naruko**
All the way to the last stop in Hakata.
***SIGN*** Shin-Osaka
***SIGN*** Tokyo

**[00:47] Naruko**
After all, I love mentaiko.
**[00:50] Manami**
There's no chance of that happening.
***SIGN*** Shin-Osaka
***SIGN*** Shin-Osaka
**[00:54] Manami**
Why don't you get off at Nagoya?
**[00:57] Naruko**
You know more about railways
than I thought, Manami.
**[01:00] Naruko**
You're really gettin' on board with it.
**[01:02] Manami**
You mean the train, or your joke?
**[01:04] Naruko**
The joke.
**[01:06] Manami**
Now that I think about it, even though we
both raced in the Inter-High last year...
**[01:12] Manami**
We've never spoken much before.
**[01:16] Manami**
What a novel experience.
**[01:18] Naruko**
Of course we didn't.
**[01:19] Naruko**
You're a climber, and last
year I was a sprinter.
**[01:26] Kuroda**
Wait, Manami.
**[01:27] Manami**
Kuroda-san...
**[01:31] Kuroda**
Your contest is over.
Quit racing him immediately.
**[01:35] Kuroda**
There's no need to accept his challenge.
***SIGN*** Yowamushi Pedal

**[03:11] Kuroda**
Did you think this was the
crossroads of the race?
**[03:15] Kuroda**
That was pretty clever of you, Naruko.
**[03:17] Kuroda**
Your plan was to challenge Manami
**[03:19] Kuroda**
and exhaust him just before
the finish line, wasn't it?
**[03:23] Kuroda**
Even if it meant sacrificing yourself.
**[03:26] Naruko**
Sacrifice? Not a chance, Kuroda-san.
**[03:30] Naruko**
I'm on my way to the front of the race...
**[03:35] Naruko**
by pullin' ahead of Manami.
**[03:39] Naruko**
I've got an old promise left
unfulfilled from last year.
**[03:43] Naruko**
I'm headin' to the front so
I can make good on that, too.
**[03:49] Kuroda**
Pull ahead of Manami and reach the front?
**[03:52] Kuroda**
Is he bluffing?
**[03:55] Kuroda**
He thinks he can pull ahead
of Manami on this climb?
**[03:58] Kuroda**
You're not capable of that!
**[04:00] Manami**
So that was his plan after all.
**[04:03] Manami**
I could tell from the way he was riding.
**[04:06] Naruko**
Oh, right. I forgot to mention
the rule I came up with.
**[04:10] Naruko**
Just ridin' normally wouldn't be any fun.
**[04:13] Kuroda**
Rule? Fun?
**[04:16] Naruko**
Our destination is the lead riders.
**[04:18] Naruko**
Until we reach them,
no ridin' two against one.
**[04:22] Naruko**
Sorry, Kuroda-san, but you're
not allowed to interfere.
**[04:26] Naruko**
But in exchange, I'll give something up, too.
**[04:31] Naruko**
If I lose this race, I'll stay behind
Kuroda-san until I cross the finish line.
**[04:37] Naruko**
How does that sound?
**[04:39] Manami**
Sounds good. Let's do it, Naruko-kun.
**[04:42] Naruko**
I'm glad you're so understanding, Manami.
**[04:44] Naruko**
Shall we go, then?
**[04:45] Kuroda**
He responded instantly.
**[04:47] Kuroda**
Wait, Manami. There's no reason
to accept such a risky—
**[04:49] Manami**
Risky?
**[04:52] Manami**
That's why I'm accepting
his challenge, Kuroda-san.
**[04:55] Naruko**
Let's go, Manami!
**[04:56] Naruko**
Our tense battle starts now!
**[05:02] Naruko**
Our race ends once we can see
the backs of the two lead riders
**[05:05] Naruko**
and one of us catches up to them.
**[05:08] Manami**
Sounds good, Naruko-kun.
**[05:10] Manami**
It would a waste to miss out on...
**[05:12] Manami**
a tense last-minute race like this.
**[05:16] Fan A**
Hakone Academy accelerated!
**[05:18] Fan B**
He instantly caught up to Sohoku!
**[05:20] Naruko**
Crap, you caught up already?
**[05:23] Manami**
Did you just say,
"Crap, you caught up already?"
**[05:25] Naruko**
Whoa! Nah, you must've misheard me.
**[05:28] Manami**
Are you sure you're okay?
**[05:29] Naruko**
Shut up. I said, uh,
"Crap, I love being red."
**[05:35] Manami**
Before long, you'll be
saying I passed you. Look.
**[05:39] Manami**
You'd better pedal like
your life depends on it.
**[05:41] Fan C**
Hakone Academy is so fast!
**[05:43] Naruko**
He passed me already.
**[05:45] Naruko**
It's not surprising,
considering Manami's a pure climber.
**[05:48] Naruko**
Though I've learned to climb,
I'm still just a sprinting all-rounder.
**[05:53] Naruko**
He's on another level.
**[05:55] Manami**
You're one step behind.
**[05:58] Manami**
That's what makes you different
from a pure climber.
**[06:02] Manami**
Do you want to forfeit this race?
**[06:04] Manami**
I can already see how this ends.
**[06:06] Naruko**
Oh, yeah? And where do you see that?
**[06:09] Naruko**
There isn't an outcome in this world
that can be seen before it happens.
**[06:12] Naruko**
In 100% of cases,
you won't know until you try.
**[06:16] Naruko**
He's on another level, but my chances
of beating him are greater than zero.
**[06:19] Manami**
That's exactly what I'd hoped you say.
**[06:22] Naruko**
Then don't ask, dummy.
**[06:26] Manami**
I guess you could say I wanted to confirm...
**[06:29] Manami**
if I could really go all-out against you.
**[06:32] Naruko**
Overconfident much? You were appraising me?
**[06:35] Manami**
You're expensive, Naruko-kun.
**[06:37] Manami**
You're A5.
**[06:38] Naruko**
Are you callin' me a tasty piece of wagyu?
**[06:41] Manami**
No, you're a fighting bull.
**[06:43] Manami**
You're a sucker for red things, aren't you?
**[06:45] Manami**
You charge straight at your
opponents with your horns out.
**[06:48] Naruko**
Of course. I'm always puttin'
my life on the line
**[06:52] Naruko**
with everything I do!
**[06:59] Naruko**
He's friggin' fast. But I'll do
whatever it takes to keep up.
**[07:03] Manami**
Naruko-kun, there are two things
surprising me right now.
**[07:08] Manami**
The first is that you're keeping
up better than I expected.
**[07:12] Manami**
I thought you'd have fallen
behind a while ago,
**[07:14] Manami**
but you've doggedly kept up
with all my accelerations.
**[07:17] Manami**
On this climb, no less.
**[07:20] Manami**
Then there's the other thing.
**[07:22] Manami**
Battling you right now is
more fun than expected.
**[07:25] Manami**
That goes for me and for you.
**[07:28] Manami**
We're both enjoying this tension.
**[07:31] Manami**
I always feel most alive when
I'm brushing up against death.
**[07:40] Manami**
Right now, I feel alive.
**[07:46] Naruko**
Manami, you're a pretty
flashy daredevil, too.
**[07:51] Naruko**
Each time I've kept up with you,
I've felt a fire burnin' inside me.
**[07:56] Manami**
I'm glad I took you up on your challenge.
**[07:58] Manami**
It was fun. Thanks.
**[08:02] Manami**
But unfortunately, our race is over.
**[08:06] Manami**
We'll probably catch up to the lead
riders once we're past the next turn.
**[08:10] Manami**
Then I'll accelerate at full speed.
**[08:13] Manami**
You won't be able to keep up.
**[08:15] Manami**
I'll get there first.
**[08:17] Manami**
I don't know what your plan was,
**[08:20] Manami**
but challenging me on this climb
really was a reckless gamble.
**[08:27] Naruko**
That's right, I took a gamble.
**[08:30] Manami**
On your own potential?
**[08:32] Manami**
Look, the backs of the lead
riders are coming into view.
**[08:35] Naruko**
Our race isn't over yet.
**[08:43] Manami**
Huh? I don't see them.
**[08:46] Manami**
The lead riders aren't here.
**[08:48] Manami**
Huh, I guess our race isn't over yet.
**[08:52] Manami**
Shall we race a little longer?
**[08:54] Manami**
They're farther ahead than I—
**[08:56] Naruko**
You're right. Looks like they're farther
ahead than you guys expected, Manami.
**[09:03] Manami**
He's smiling?
**[09:05] Naruko**
So that's what Hakone Academy
expected after all.
**[09:08] Naruko**
You thought you'd catch up to the
lead riders around here on the climb.
**[09:12] Naruko**
In road races, predicting future
events affects the outcome.
**[09:17] Naruko**
I expect we'll catch up to the
lead riders farther ahead.
**[09:22] Naruko**
I made a different prediction
from Hakone Academy.
**[09:25] Naruko**
That's why I challenged you.
**[09:27] Manami**
That's his gamble?
**[09:28] Naruko**
Do you know what I mean by
"farther ahead," Manami?
**[09:34] Naruko**
That's right. I'm sure you
saw it on the course map.
**[09:37] Naruko**
Once we're out of the next two turns,
**[09:40] Naruko**
the climb will end temporarily.
**[09:42] Naruko**
The course turns into a flat road
passing by the beautiful Lake Yumi.
**[09:49] Manami**
A flat road?
**[09:51] Manami**
Naruko-kun is a sprinting all-rounder.
**[09:55] Naruko**
I'm at a total disadvantage on a climb.
**[09:57] Naruko**
But if I can drag it out into the flats,
then I've got a chance.
**[10:02] Naruko**
The difference in our predictions
determined this contest.
**[10:05] Naruko**
We're risking everything in
this tense last-minute battle
**[10:07] Naruko**
as we push ourselves to the limit.
**[10:10] Naruko**
You're right. This is truly fun.
**[10:14] Naruko**
Come on, Manami.
It's time for the final battle.
**[10:19] Manami**
I see. I'm surprised.
**[10:21] Manami**
I didn't realize this was your strategy.
**[10:24] Manami**
We expected to catch up on the climb.
**[10:28] Manami**
You expected our race to continue
into the flats past the climb.
**[10:33] Manami**
And you used the difference in
our expectations against us.
**[10:36] Manami**
Not bad.
**[10:39] Manami**
As it should be.
**[10:41] Naruko**
Manami stood up?
**[10:42] Naruko**
He entered his dancing stance.
**[10:45] Naruko**
His eyes say he's ready to fight.
**[10:47] Naruko**
Of course. Though there are flats
ahead and their prediction was wrong,
**[10:54] Naruko**
we're still on his home turf—a climb!
**[10:59] Manami**
Let's go!
**[11:04] Manami**
Naruko-kun said we'd be into the flats
once we're through these two turns.
**[11:10] Manami**
Two? That's right.
**[11:12] Manami**
There's still two whole
turns' worth of climbing.
**[11:15] Manami**
Our race isn't over yet.
**[11:19] Manami**
Show yourselves, lead riders.
**[11:21] Naruko**
Damn, he's freakin' fast.
**[11:23] Naruko**
Is Manami even human?
**[11:25] Naruko**
Oh, right. He's a bullet train.
**[11:36] Manami**
They're not here?
**[11:38] Manami**
One more turn to go.
**[11:40] Naruko**
All right. We still haven't seen them.
**[11:42] Naruko**
I've just got to hold on for one more corner.
**[11:46] Naruko**
Then the climb will be over.
**[11:49] Naruko**
Stay out of sight, Onoda-kun and hotshot.
**[11:52] Naruko**
Once the climb is over,
we'll be on a flat road.
**[11:54] Naruko**
I'll speed past him then.
**[12:01] Naruko**
But if there's a break in the climb,
**[12:04] Naruko**
that means we'll have reached a peak.
**[12:08] Naruko**
And it's a bit windy on peaks.
**[12:14] Naruko**
But I'll be fine.
**[12:16] Naruko**
Naruko Shoukichi, the Speedman
of Naniwa, is a friend of the wind.
**[12:20] Naruko**
Once we enter the flats,
I'll show off my true...
**[12:26] Naruko**
The wind? Crap.
**[12:29] Naruko**
I heard this guy uses the wind, too.
**[12:30] Manami**
The wind's picking up...
**[12:36] Manami**
Naruko-kun...
**[12:37] Naruko**
He's a friend of the wind, too!
He's accelerating.
**[12:44] Naruko**
Crap, what was that?
**[12:46] Naruko**
He accelerated like some kind of CGI model.
**[12:49] Naruko**
I saw wings for a second.
**[12:51] Naruko**
I'm accelerating at full speed,
but I can't keep up.
**[12:54] Naruko**
What are you, the Linear Shinkansen?
**[12:57] Manami**
This is the last turn. Show yourselves.
**[13:00] Manami**
Show yourselves, show yourselves!
**[13:03] Manami**
Show me the lead pack!
**[13:08] Manami**
I see. The lead riders still aren't in sight.
**[13:13] Manami**
I'm impressed, Naruko-kun.
**[13:16] Manami**
Congratulations. You won your gamble.
**[13:20] Manami**
It was a long shot, but you didn't hesitate.
**[13:24] Manami**
Why not?
**[13:27] Naruko**
Before I answer your question,
you're too friggin' fast.
**[13:31] Naruko**
Were you tryin' to kill me?
**[13:34] Manami**
Look. The lead riders are on
the other side of the flats.
**[13:38] Manami**
We failed to catch up to them
on the climb like we expected.
**[13:44] Naruko**
Why didn't I hesitate?
**[13:48] Naruko**
It's not that I didn't have doubts.
**[13:50] Naruko**
After all, I was up against you.
**[13:52] Naruko**
And the conditions were tough.
**[13:54] Naruko**
I barely made it.
**[13:56] Naruko**
But still, I gambled.
**[13:58] Naruko**
Like you said, on my own potential.
**[14:02] Naruko**
I persevered.
**[14:04] Naruko**
But I couldn't have won this gamble alone.
**[14:09] Manami**
What?
**[14:10] Naruko**
There was another thing I bet on:
**[14:15] Naruko**
the potential of my teammates.
**[14:19] Naruko**
I didn't stand a chance
**[14:21] Naruko**
unless they sped up the mountains
faster than Hakone Academy expected
**[14:25] Naruko**
and far ahead on the flats
where I'm strongest.
**[14:31] Naruko**
While racing against you,
I kept praying in my head,
**[14:35] Naruko**
"Go, Onoda-kun. Hurry it up, hotshot."
**[14:40] Manami**
A prayer, huh? I see.
**[14:45] Manami**
This race was actually three against one.
**[14:52] Manami**
I know I wasn't any weaker than you, though.
**[14:56] Manami**
Maybe I enjoyed chatting too much.
**[14:58] Manami**
Sorry, Kuroda-san.
**[15:02] Kuroda**
*Listen to me, Manami.*
**[15:04] (Flashback) Kuroda**
You can go, but promise me one thing.
**[15:08] (Flashback) Kuroda**
Even if something goes wrong and it looks
like he's going to win, don't over-commit.
**[15:13] (Flashback) Kuroda**
There's no need.
**[15:16] (Flashback) Kuroda**
He's...
**[15:18] (Flashback) Kuroda**
working too hard.
**[15:21] (Flashback) Kuroda**
In this race,

**[15:26] (Flashback) Kuroda**
he'll drop out.

Imaizumi-kun!
**[15:41] Imaizumi**
Yeah, I see him. Honestly, I'm surprised.
**[15:46] Imaizumi**
It's not a blue jersey or a purple one.
**[15:51] Imaizumi**
It's hard to believe, but it's
our team's yellow jersey.
**[15:59] Naruko**
The flashy genius of Naniwa is
finally here, Onoda-kun and hotshot.
**[16:04] Naruko**
I, Naruko Shoukichi, have finally
**[16:08] Naruko**
made the flashiest
**[16:11] Naruko**

**[16:13] Onoda**
Naruko-kun!
**[16:14] Imaizumi**
Naruko.
**[16:16] Imaizumi**
I'm glad you made it back.
**[16:18] Naruko**
You surprised, hotshot?
**[16:19] Naruko**
Does my flashiness make you dizzy?
**[16:22] Naruko**
Good, that shocked expression
is exactly what I wanted to see.
**[16:28] Imaizumi**
Yeah, I'm genuinely surprised.
**[16:31] Imaizumi**
You let me and Onoda get ahead.
**[16:33] Imaizumi**
The Kyoto Fushimi pair caught up just
as you put a lid on Hakone Academy.
**[16:38] Imaizumi**
And you escaped from that
melee all on your own.
**[16:43] Imaizumi**
You couldn't have done it with
calculation and stamina alone.
**[16:46] Naruko**
Sorry, but like I told you, I'm a genius.
**[16:50] Naruko**
I'm overflowing with inventiveness,
ingenuity, and competitive instincts.
**[16:57] Imaizumi**
Aren't inventiveness and
ingenuity the same thing?
**[17:00] Naruko**
Don't correct me like some
kind of hotshot, hotshot!
**[17:03] Imaizumi**
I was just thinking you lack language skills.
**[17:06] Naruko**
Shut up! I was baskin' in my glory.
**[17:08] Naruko**
Just make some sounds of amazement.
**[17:10] Imaizumi**
Oh, wow.
**[17:12] Naruko**
With feeling!
**[17:13] Imaizumi**
Wow...
**[17:15] Naruko**
Sixty points.
**[17:16] Imaizumi**
Personally, I think that
was worth 100 points.
**[17:19] Naruko**
That was 100 points?
**[17:20] Naruko**
You're emotionless. Emotionally bland.
**[17:22] Naruko**
You're like salt-flavored rice crackers.
**[17:24] Imaizumi**
What kind of metaphor is that?
**[17:27] Onoda**
But, um, I really, um...
**[17:31] Onoda**
Thank you, Naruko-kun.
**[17:34] Imaizumi**
What are you thanking him for?
**[17:36] Naruko**
Don't say that!
**[17:38] Onoda**
It must've been really hard.
**[17:42] Onoda**
To make it here, I mean.
**[17:44] Onoda**
Like Imaizumi-kun said,
it must've been really hard.
**[17:49] Onoda**
Your back...
**[17:52] Onoda**
Even your number tag is soaked with sweat.
**[17:56] Naruko**
Well, yeah. I mean, it was no big deal.
**[17:59] Naruko**
He was a pushover.
**[18:01] Imaizumi**
What exactly did you fight against?
**[18:03] Naruko**
A mountain-going bullet train.
**[18:04] Imaizumi**
What?
**[18:06] Onoda**
I think you must've worked really hard.
**[18:11] Onoda**
But because of that, look.
**[18:15] Onoda**
The three of us are currently riding
at the front of the Inter-High.
**[18:20] Fan D**
The lead pack is here!
**[18:22] Fan E**
It's three Sohoku riders!
**[18:24] Fan F**
What? Just one team?
**[18:26] Fan G**
Yeah, riding all by themselves!
**[18:29] Fan H**
If they hold their positions,
they'll sweep the top three!
**[18:33] Imaizumi**
You're right, Onoda.
**[18:35] Imaizumi**
There are seven kilometers
remaining to the finish line.
***SIGN*** Road Race Distance Remaining 7km
**[18:38] Imaizumi**
Once we ride out those last seven

**[18:42] Onoda**
Yeah.
**[18:45] Naruko**
We get it, you yahoo.
**[18:47] Naruko**
You don't have to spell it out for us.
**[18:50] Naruko**
We're this close to achieving our promise.
**[19:01] (Flashback) Makishima**
Dream, Onoda.
**[19:04] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
Huh? Did you say "dream"?
**[19:08] (Flashback) Makishima**
Dream dreams with no hope of coming true.
**[19:11] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
What? You mean during a race?
**[19:15] (Flashback) Makishima**
Sure I do.
**[19:16] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
I'm not sure that's a good idea.
**[19:19] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
Calm judgment and decisiveness
are vital during races.
**[19:24] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
Like K-Kinjou-san.
**[19:26] (Flashback) Makishima**
Don't worry.
**[19:28] (Flashback) Makishima**
You could spend your whole life trying,
and you'd never become Kinjou.
**[19:32] (Flashback) Sakimichi**
You're right...
**[19:37] (Flashback) Makishima**
I'm a realist.
**[19:39] (Flashback) Makishima**
I think too much, and I don't dream.
**[19:43] (Flashback) Makishima**
But you're different.
**[19:45] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
Huh?
**[19:47] (Flashback) Makishima**
Until now, you've made
many dreams come true.
**[19:52] (Flashback) Makishima**
In your first-year race,
you caught up to Imaizumi.
**[19:55] (Flashback) Makishima**
At the Inter-High, you brought
Tadokorocchi back to the team
**[19:59] (Flashback) Makishima**
and took our jersey across
the finish line first.
**[20:05] (Flashback) Makishima**
You made the impossible possible with your
dreams of who and what you wanted to be.
**[20:14] (Flashback) Makishima**
That power of yours is
stronger than anyone else's.
**[20:18] Onoda**
*Power? I have power?*
**[20:23] (Flashback) Makishima**
So dream. Dream outrageous
and impossible dreams.
**[20:29] (Flashback) Makishima**
Sometimes you'll fail.
Sometimes they won't come true.
**[20:33] (Flashback) Makishima**
But your repeated efforts will
draw in the people around you...
**[20:38] (Flashback) Makishima**
and become a powerful force
that pushes you forward.
**[20:43] Onoda**
A powerful force...
**[20:45] Onoda**
On that hot summer day, Makishima-san gave
me some advice in our club room.
**[20:49] Onoda**
He told me to dream.
**[20:53] Onoda**
I didn't really understand
it then, but now I really do.
**[20:58] Onoda**
The three of us will cross
the finish line together.
**[21:02] Naruko**
When we do, I'll be in the center.
**[21:04] Imaizumi**
The center? You mean when we finish?
**[21:07] Imaizumi**
It should be me.
**[21:08] Naruko**
What? Why?
**[21:09] Imaizumi**
I know, I'll rush ahead when we're
right in front of the finish line.
**[21:12] Naruko**
Even though we're teammates?
**[21:14] Imaizumi**
*Because* we're teammates.
**[21:14] Onoda**
Just knowing there's a possibility
makes my heart pound.
**[21:20] Onoda**
I feel like strength and courage
are endlessly pouring out of me.

It's not guaranteed. I know that.
**[21:33] Onoda**
But if I maximize my power to dream,
I feel like I can face any challenge.
**[21:41] Onoda**
Come on, guys. Don't fight.
**[21:44] Onoda**
What are you talking about?
**[21:45] Naruko**
Who would you prefer to be in the center?

**[21:49] Onoda**
Um, who? I'm not sure. Uh...
**[21:56] Naruko**
For now, it doesn't matter. Let's go.
**[21:59] Onoda**
What? Uh, yeah.
**[22:01] Naruko**
The race isn't over yet.
**[22:03] Imaizumi**
Yeah.
**[22:04] Onoda**
Yeah.
**[22:06] Naruko**
We'll pull ahead of our
opponents on these flats.
**[22:09] Imaizumi**
You seem pretty energetic for someone
who just worked his butt off.
**[22:15] Naruko**
Don't make me say it again. I'm a genius!
**[22:18] Naruko**
Shall I pull for the seven

**[22:22] Imaizumi**
Yeah, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

Whoa!
**[04:38] Imaizumi**
What are you doing?
Don't fall behind, Naruko.
**[04:41] Imaizumi**
Avoid gaps in the road's surface.
**[04:43] Imaizumi**
Even those will slow you down a little.
**[04:45] Naruko**
I know that, hotshot. Ain't no big deal.

I can't them, damn it.

Quit nitpickin'.
**[04:56] Naruko**
A high-speed downhill with my
limited vision is pretty risky.
**[05:02] Imaizumi**
What if you fall or get a flat?
**[05:08] Imaizumi**
I have to nitpick because we're in the lead.
**[05:16] Imaizumi**
The riders behind us are closing in

at full speed so they can
knock us out of position.
**[05:21] Sakamichi**
There are riders behind us!

You can't assume things will go as expected.

**[06:06] Naruko**
Every single thing you said is correct.
**[06:08] Naruko**
But if I could add just one thing...
**[06:11] Naruko**
It's that you gotta be bold sometimes.

Opportunities are only born from bold moves.

**[08:53] Aoyagi**
It's not easy to achieve such a huge
lead in the final stages of a race.
**[09:00] Doubashi**
Our team won't let your guys get away.
**[09:03] Doubashi**
We've got Manami and Kuroda-san.
**[09:06] Doubashi**
I know they'll do it.
**[09:07] Aoyagi**
Probably. It won't be easy.
**[09:11] Aoyagi**
And my words won't reach them.
**[09:15] Aoyagi**
So I'll pray.
**[09:18] Doubashi**
Pray?
**[09:20] Aoyagi**
We all put our faith and trust in each other.
**[09:24] Aoyagi**
That's how Team Sohoku rides.
**[09:30] Naruko**
Looks like things won't go as
planned after all, hotshot.
**[09:34] Imaizumi**
Yeah.
**[09:36] Sakamichi**
What?
**[09:39] Imaizumi**
We're raising our pace on the downhill,
**[09:44] Imaizumi**
but our opponents have raised
their own speed quite a bit.
**[09:49] Kuroda**
Look, Manami.
**[09:51] Kuroda**
You can see the lead Sohoku riders.
**[09:57] Sakamichi**
I just caught a glimpse
of the riders behind us.
**[10:00] Sakamichi**
Two blue jerseys. It's Hakone Academy.
**[10:05] Aoyagi**
You'd better not lose,
Imaizumi, Naruko, Onoda.
**[10:11] Doubashi**
I'm counting on you, Kuroda-san and Manami.
**[10:15] Sakamichi**
They're behind us. They're right behind us.
**[10:18] Imaizumi**
I know. I'm doing everything I can.
**[10:23] Imaizumi**
Kuroda-san, huh? He's fast on downhills.
**[10:29] Imaizumi**
I thought I knew what to expect, but I
didn't think they'd catch up this quickly.
**[10:36] Kuroda**
I'm not letting you...
**[10:39] Kuroda**
have your way, Sohoku!
**[10:46] Manami**
That's how Kuroda-san always
shifts into a higher gear.
**[10:49] Manami**
They can't escape him now.
**[10:51] Kuroda**
Hold up, Sohoku!
**[10:54] Naruko**
They're coming, hotshot.
**[10:56] Sakamichi**
They're closer than before.
**[10:59] Sakamichi**
Hakone Academy is 50 meters behind us.
**[11:04] Sakamichi**
40 meters.
**[11:06] Imaizumi**
I know, Onoda.
**[11:08] Imaizumi**
Damn, they're closing in.
**[11:11] Imaizumi**
On downhills, the riders in front
face the brunt of the wind,
**[11:16] Imaizumi**
so the riders behind them have an advantage.
**[11:20] Imaizumi**
But that's just an excuse.
**[11:27] Sakamichi**
30 meters.
**[11:29] Sakamichi**
They're right on our tails.
**[11:33] Imaizumi**
Remove the limiter!
**[11:37] Imaizumi**
Remove it!
**[11:40] Imaizumi**
Should we let them catch up
so we can prepare ourselves?
**[11:44] Imaizumi**
Is that the safer choice?
**[11:46] Imaizumi**
No, that's just another excuse.
**[11:49] Imaizumi**
Keep moving forward, Imaizumi Shunsuke.
**[11:52] Imaizumi**
In a high-speed downhill battle,
whoever defeats their own fear wins.
**[11:57] Imaizumi**
Kuroda-san, if you're trying to catch up
on this downhill, then I'll take you on.
**[12:03] Sakamichi**
Imaizumi-kun, your shoulder...
**[12:11] Imaizumi**
I'll pull ahead of you.
**[12:15] Kuroda**
Sohoku's Imaizumi...
**[12:18] Kuroda**
ran up against the guardrail to slow
himself down instead of braking.
**[12:22] Kuroda**
Interesting. He's challenging
me to a downhill battle?
**[12:26] Kuroda**
He wants to go head to head?
**[12:29] Kuroda**
Bring it on.
**[12:32] Kuroda**
Flex, cat legs!
**[12:42] Sakamichi**
That let us pull ahead of
them to about 80 meters.
**[12:47] Naruko**
Are you stupid, hotshot?
You're out of control.
**[12:50] Naruko**
I can barely see over here.
**[12:53] Imaizumi**
It's still going. Don't relax yet.
**[12:56] Sakamichi**
60 meters...
**[12:58] Sakamichi**
They're closing in again. 50 meters.
**[13:01] Kuroda**
Hey, elite!
**[13:03] Imaizumi**
Kuroda-san!
**[13:05] Imaizumi**
It's all right. We'll reach
the climb ahead of them.
**[13:08] Imaizumi**
If we can get there without them catching up,
**[13:11] Imaizumi**
then we'll hold whatever
lead we have on the climb.
**[13:14] Imaizumi**
It's difficult to close gaps on a climb.
**[13:16] Imaizumi**
Let's stay focused.
**[13:19] Sakamichi**
40 meters.
**[13:21] Sakamichi**
Hakone Academy is on us.
**[13:23] Imaizumi**
Let's speed up again.
**[13:28] Imaizumi**
Remove the limiter!
**[13:31] Sakamichi**
Imaizumi-kun!
**[13:35] Sakamichi**
Um, behind us...
**[13:38] Imaizumi**
I know. You mean Hakone Academy, right?
**[13:41] Sakamichi**
No, actually. I just caught a
glimpse of the guy behind them.
**[13:49] Imaizumi**
Behind them?
**[13:52] Naruko**
What?
**[13:55] Sakamichi**
He's catching up from behind Hakone Academy.
**[14:02] Sakamichi**
It's Kyoto Fushimi!
**[14:05] Sakamichi**
Midousuji-kun...
**[14:11] Midousuji**
I caught up on this downhill.
**[14:16] Midousuji**
Just as planned.
***SIGN*** Yowamushi Pedal
**[14:28] ---**
**[14:33] Midousuji**
Gotcha, housefly! Sand fly!
**[14:38] Imaizumi**
Damn it! I don't have time
for Midousuji right now!
**[14:41] Kuroda**
Damn, it's Kyoto!
**[14:43] Kuroda**
I knew you'd show up on the downhill!
**[14:52] Manami**
Kuroda-san, he caught us.
**[14:54] Kuroda**
He's so fast!
**[14:56] Midousuji**
Fly, fly, scum! Gross.
**[15:00] Midousuji**
Gross.
**[15:02] Midousuji**
Gross.
**[15:04] Manami**
He's gone, Kuroda-san!
**[15:07] Sakamichi**
Midousuji-kun passed
Hakone Academy behind us.
**[15:10] Imaizumi**
Already?
**[15:11] Naruko**
Midousuji!
**[15:12] Sakamichi**
He's right behind us in the turn.
**[15:16] Sakamichi**
He's trying to catch up to
us on this downhill, too.
**[15:21] Kuroda**
You may be fast, Midousuji,
but you're going too fast.
**[15:25] Kuroda**
There's a banked 270-degree turn up ahead.
**[15:30] Kuroda**
If you enter it at that speed, you'll slip.
**[15:37] Kuroda**
Wait, what's happening?
**[15:39] Kuroda**
He's not slowing down.
**[15:41] Kuroda**
Midousuji's entering the
turn at his current speed?
**[15:46] Kuroda**
What kind of crazy diving bank is that?
**[15:57] Kuroda**
He took that corner at an
unbelievable angle and speed!
**[16:03] Sakamichi**
He's right behind us.
**[16:06] Imaizumi**
Seriously? He's so damn fast.
**[16:09] Imaizumi**
It's all right. This downhill is ending soon.
**[16:12] Imaizumi**
It's a straight line
after that. Don't let up.
**[16:14] Imaizumi**
We're nearly at the climb.
**[16:17] Imaizumi**
He's fast, but not much faster than us.
**[16:20] Imaizumi**
We can hold our lead.
**[16:21] Sakamichi**
Yeah!
**[16:23] Naruko**
Stay ahead of them, hotshot!
**[16:24] Imaizumi**
As long as we don't make any mistakes,
**[16:27] Imaizumi**
they won't catch up.
**[16:31] Imaizumi**
Part of the road is uneven. Be careful.
**[16:34] Sakamichi**
Yeah.
**[16:35] Imaizumi**
We're entering the climb.
**[16:36] Imaizumi**
Shift to a lighter gear when we do.
**[16:38] Sakamichi**
Yeah.
**[16:48] Midousuji**
Gross!
**[16:51] Imaizumi**
Naruko!
**[16:52] Sakamichi**
Naruko-kun!
**[16:53] Naruko**
Sorry, I hit a bump.
**[16:56] Imaizumi**
Midousuji!
**[16:58] Sakamichi**
He passed us.
**[17:00] Sakamichi**
He passed all five riders fighting
for the lead on this downhill,
**[17:06] Sakamichi**
like a ferocious insect consuming its prey.
**[17:10] Midousuji**
Consume! I consumed my prey.
**[17:13] Midousuji**
I passed them.
**[17:15] Midousuji**
The houseflies.
**[17:16] Midousuji**
And the sand flies.
**[17:18] Midousuji**
Just as planned, on this downhill.
**[17:25] Midousuji**
I'll hone my alertness and the sensitivity
of all the nerves in my body and search,
**[17:32] Midousuji**
as though groping around
for pebbles in the mud.
**[17:39] Midousuji**
Always considering and selecting
what can be discarded.
**[17:42] Midousuji**
Everything unnecessary and useless.
**[17:47] Midousuji**
Status, praise, and useless assertions
are nothing more than vanity.
**[17:53] Midousuji**
Everything not necessary to victory
will be discarded without hesitation.
**[18:00] Midousuji**
And finally, I search only for things
that will lead me to victory.
**[18:06] Midousuji**
Find, secure, and execute.
**[18:10] Midousuji**
A teammate slipped? A friend is in trouble?
**[18:14] Midousuji**
Who turns around out of
concern during a race?
**[18:20] Midousuji**
Haven't I told you again and again...
**[18:25] Midousuji**
that friendship should be the
first thing you throw away?
**[18:40] Fan H**
It's #111 with the number yellow tag!
**[18:42] Fan I**
Kyoto Fushimi's Midousuji
reached the bottom first!
**[18:45] Fan J**
After placing second on day one and winning
yesterday, he's trying to win today, too!
**[18:52] Fan H**
He's racing uphill in the lead!
**[18:56] Fan I**
And all that remains is...
***SIGN*** Inter-High Road Race
***SIGN*** Inter-High Road Race
**[18:59] Fan I**
5.5 kilometers!
**[19:03] Fan J**
Sohoku's chasing after him!
**[19:05] Fan H**
Yeah, but there's a significant gap.
**[19:07] Fan I**
100 meters...
**[19:09] Fan I**
No, it's 200 meters!
**[19:12] Imaizumi**
Damn. That's bigger than I thought.
**[19:15] Sakamichi**
Imaizumi-kun, he's already way up there.
**[19:17] Imaizumi**
He got us.
**[19:20] Midousuji**
How disgraceful, Sohoku.
**[19:23] Midousuji**
All three of you.
**[19:26] Midousuji**
I'll maintain the lead I built
before the climb on the uphill.
**[19:32] Midousuji**
And closing it is no mean feat.
**[19:34] Midousuji**
Didn't you have the
same thought, Chirpizumi-kun?
**[19:37] Midousuji**
That's correct.
**[19:40] Midousuji**
That little climb is a huge
opportunity to seize victory.
**[19:45] Midousuji**
So I devoted my entire body
and mind to passing everyone.
**[19:52] Midousuji**
A 200-meter lead with 5.5 kilometers to go.
**[19:55] Midousuji**
That's plenty.
**[19:58] Midousuji**
In road races, riders often hold 30 to
50 meter leads before the finish line.
**[20:06] Midousuji**
I bet you wasted time
building up your friendship,
**[20:09] Midousuji**
helping each other, and dreaming together.
**[20:13] Midousuji**
That was all a waste of time!
**[20:17] Midousuji**
Throw it away. When your friend skidded earlier,
**[20:21] Midousuji**
you should've enjoyed the lighter load
**[20:24] Midousuji**
without sparing a glance and
charged ahead at full speed.
**[20:33] Naruko**
We're about...
**[20:35] Naruko**
200 meters behind.
**[20:38] Sakamichi**
Imaizumi-kun, I'll go after him.
**[20:40] Imaizumi**
No, wait. I'll—No.
**[20:44] Imaizumi**
Manami and Kuroda-san of
Hakone Academy are still behind us.
**[20:49] Imaizumi**
Should we send Onoda now?
What will Manami do?
**[20:53] Imaizumi**
No, don't hesitate, Imaizumi Shunsuke.
**[20:57] Imaizumi**
These circumstances call for prudent—
**[21:01] Naruko**
What are you thinkin' so hard for, hotshot?
**[21:08] Naruko**
We'll chase after anyone
who attacks. That's it.
**[21:11] Naruko**
You worry too much about details.
**[21:13] Naruko**
You really need to work on that.
**[21:16] Imaizumi**
What?
**[21:17] Naruko**
If things don't always go accordin' to plan,
**[21:21] Naruko**
then not plannin' at all is an option.
**[21:25] Naruko**
Didn't I tell you?
**[21:28] Naruko**
Sometimes you gotta be bold.
**[21:32] Naruko**
All three of us just need to catch up, right?
**[21:35] Naruko**
Hold on tight, you two.
**[21:37] Naruko**
I'll pull the rest of the way.
**[21:41] Sakamichi**
Naruko-kun...
**[21:43] Imaizumi**
Naruko...
**[21:46] Naruko**
The Naruko Super Express
is leavin' the station!
**[21:49] Imaizumi**
He can't see us when he looks our way.
**[21:53] Imaizumi**
Have you gone blind again?
**[21:56] Sakamichi**
Naruko-kun, your eyes...
**[22:02] Sakamichi**
What? Is that why he kept skidding?
**[22:10] Sakamichi**
Naruko-kun, fall back.
**[22:13] Sakamichi**
Huh?
**[22:15] Imaizumi**
You're going to pull for us, Naruko?
**[22:21] Naruko**
Ain't no big deal.
**[22:28] Sakamichi**
Imaizumi-kun...
**[22:34] Imaizumi**
Can you do that for us?
**[22:39] Naruko**
Yeah, you can count on me.
**[22:42] Sakamichi**
Imaizumi—
**[22:46] Sakamichi**
Imaizumi-kun already knows what's
going to happen to Naruko-kun, too.
**[22:55] Sakamichi**
He knows, and yet...
**[23:01] Naruko**
Y'all can pay me back later.
**[23:04] Naruko**
Hop on, Onoda-kun. I guess
you can come, too, hotshot.
**[23:13] Naruko**
This is the Naruko train's
super-flashy final trip.

We'll catch up to them easily!

I'm the genius Naruko Shoukichi.

Don't worry. You can count on me.

We're movin' slower than
we were on that downhill.

My vision's still limited, but I can
see what's in front of me.

I see you.

I can see you up there.
**[03:49] Naruko**
I'll catch up to you, Midousuji.
**[03:52] Naruko**
Midousuji!
**[03:56] Midousuji**
Naruko? You're leading your team?
**[03:59] Midousuji**
What are you doing, Naruko?
**[04:01] Midousuji**
You were wobbling on the downhill earlier.
**[04:03] Midousuji**
I thought you were at your limit,
but now you're pulling.
**[04:08] Midousuji**
You should've quietly given up.
**[04:13] Midousuji**
But you're still fighting? Gross!
**[04:18] Midousuji**
You think you can catch
up to me? On this climb?
**[04:22] Midousuji**
Is that your final challenge?
**[04:27] Midousuji**
Didn't I tell you at the very start?
**[04:31] Midousuji**
You only get one shot.
**[04:35] Midousuji**
But you raced me before the
finish line on the first day,
**[04:38] Midousuji**
stuck to me in the mountains yesterday,
and now you're challenging me again today.
**[04:43] Midousuji**
You're persistent.
**[04:46] Midousuji**
You're awfully persistent, Naruko!
**[04:52] Naruko**
You know, Midousuji...
**[04:54] Naruko**
Challenges don't end
until a winner is chosen.
**[04:58] Naruko**
Let's make our final race a flashy one.
**[05:02] Fan D**
Sohoku's Naruko accelerated again!
**[05:06] Fan E**
He's slowly closing the gap on the climb!
**[05:08] Fan F**
He's catching up!
He's only 150 meters behind!
**[05:15] Midousuji**
He's coming. He's getting closer.
**[05:20] Naruko**
Reducing weight is essential to climbing.
**[05:22] Naruko**
I'm getting rid of stuff
I don't need anymore.
**[05:26] Sakamichi**
Naruko-kun still had water in that bottle!
**[05:29] Naruko**
I'll shed weight and accelerate again.
**[05:33] Sakamichi**
Naruko-kun, don't push yourself any harder!
**[05:36] Sakamichi**
Naruko-kun—
**[05:39] Sakamichi**
No, that's not right.
**[05:41] Sakamichi**
I shouldn't be trying to stop him right now.
**[05:44] Sakamichi**
I should face forward with him.
**[05:46] Sakamichi**
Naruko-kun...
**[05:52] Naruko**
Hold up.
**[05:53] Naruko**
Hold up, Dumbosuji! You're not gettin' away!
**[05:58] Fan G**
Sohoku is still closing the gap!
**[06:00] Fan H**
They're 100 meters behind!
**[06:04] Imaizumi**
Naruko reduced the 200
meter gap to 100 meters.
**[06:07] Sakamichi**
We have a clear view of Midousuji-kun's back.
**[06:10] Midousuji**
What? That man...
**[06:15] Naruko**
Oh, right. I've got one
last bit of weight to shed.
**[06:26] Naruko**
Reducing weight is essential to climbing.
**[06:28] Naruko**
Throw away everything you don't need.
**[06:30] Naruko**
What do you think of my Naruko-style
flashy ultimate lightweight climb?
**[06:35] Sakamichi**
His saddle, too?
**[06:42] Sakamichi**
He threw it away.
**[06:43] Naruko**
We're just 100 meters behind now.
**[06:46] Naruko**
Dancin' will be enough to
catch up to you, Midousuji.
**[06:51] Naruko**
I won't need that thing anymore.
**[06:53] Sakamichi**
He's not going to sit back down on his bike?
**[06:57] Sakamichi**
But we're still five kilometers
away from the finish line!
**[07:01] Imaizumi**
Naruko...
**[07:04] Midousuji**
You're doing that again, Naruko?
**[07:09] Midousuji**
That saddle-less sprint to
the finish you demonstrated
**[07:14] Midousuji**
during our unofficial race
in Osaka last year?
**[07:22] Midousuji**
You've thrown away something important
**[07:26] Midousuji**
without hesitation for
that last bit of resolve...
**[07:32] Midousuji**
to settle our drawn-out contest at last?
**[07:40] Midousuji**
Settle it? Too bad, though.
**[07:46] Midousuji**
Your resolve will be for nothing...
**[07:50] Midousuji**
Because it's impossible
for you to catch up to me.
**[07:55] Naruko**
I swear I'll catch up to you.
**[07:59] Fan I**
Kyoto Fushimi accelerated!
Sohoku accelerated in pursuit, too!
**[08:03] Fan J**
They're still 100 meters behind!
**[08:06] Naruko**
I'll do whatever it takes to catch up
with my original sprint climb!
**[08:12] Naruko**
Come on, flashy body. Move it.
**[08:16] Naruko**
I told you to wait, Dumbosuji!
**[08:19] Fan K**
Wow, Sohoku is catching up!
**[08:21] Fan L**
They're 80 meters behind the leader!
**[08:25] Fan M**
70 meters! 60 meters!
**[08:29] Fan K**
They're going to catch up!
**[08:34] Sakamichi**
Naruko-kun...
**[08:36] Midousuji**
Naruko's closing in.
**[08:39] Midousuji**
But he won't catch up.
He's pushing himself pretty hard.
**[08:45] Midousuji**
When a body is pushed too hard,
regardless of the mind's intentions,
**[08:49] Midousuji**
it suddenly reaches its
limit and stops moving.
**[08:56] Naruko**
Dumbosuji, just a little more.
I'm almost there.
**[09:00] Naruko**
I can't give up. Move, flashy legs.
**[09:05] Sakamichi**
We're 50 meters from the front.
**[09:18] Sakamichi**
Naruko-kun lost consciousness...
**[09:21] Midousuji**
Too bad, Naruko. You did
good hanging on until now.
**[09:27] Midousuji**
But the thread connecting one's body and mind
is thin and prone to suddenly snapping.
**[09:35] Midousuji**
Looks like I'll win our contest after all.
**[09:42] Sakamichi**
He's going to fall...
**[09:47] Imaizumi**
What's wrong, Naruko?
**[09:51] Naruko**
Hotshot...
**[09:52] Sakamichi**
That's the first time I've seen
Imaizumi-kun carry Naruko-kun.
**[10:00] Imaizumi**
Why did you suddenly stop
pedaling and look at the ground?
**[10:04] Imaizumi**
Remember what you told me?
**[10:06] Imaizumi**
I thought you were burning at 300 degrees.
**[10:14] Naruko**
Stupid hotshot...
**[10:17] (Flashback) Koga**
Naruko...
**[10:18] (Flashback) Koga**
Looks like you're working on something
new to surprise us again this year.
**[10:24] (Flashback) Naruko**
It'll be a piece of cake.
**[10:26] (Flashback) Naruko**
I'll be heating things up
this summer to 300 degrees!
**[10:32] Imaizumi**
Naruko, I thought your
body was harder than iron.
**[10:38] Naruko**
You remembered that, stupid hotshot?
**[10:41] Naruko**
Yeah, you can count on me.
**[10:44] Naruko**
Don't rush me, hotshot.
I've just reached 280 degrees.
**[10:49] Naruko**
I'm almost there.
**[10:54] Naruko**
I'm heating up to 300 degrees.
***SIGN*** Yowamushi Pedal
**[11:06] Imaizumi**
That pathetic wobble of
yours widened the gap again.
**[11:12] Imaizumi**
We'd brought it down to 50 meters, but
now we're about 120 meters behind again.
**[11:18] Sakamichi**
Imaizumi-kun's phrasing is cold,
**[11:22] Sakamichi**
but his hand is firmly supporting
Naruko-kun so he doesn't fall.
**[11:25] Sakamichi**
He's inspiring Naruko-kun.
**[11:29] Imaizumi**
I thought you were going
to pull us to the front.
**[11:34] Imaizumi**
I thought you were a super express.
**[11:37] Naruko**
That was a single-track section. I was just
waitin' for the train comin' the other way.
**[11:43] Naruko**
Don't underestimate the Naruko Super Express.
**[11:46] Naruko**
The Naruko Super Express always
makes good on its promises.
**[11:49] Naruko**
It's got red cars and never runs late.
**[11:54] Naruko**
As planned, it'll reach its
destination right on schedule!
**[11:59] Naruko**
At maximum speed...
**[12:08] Imaizumi**
Naruko Shoukichi!
**[12:11] Imaizumi**
The man called Naruko Shoukichi!
**[12:13] Imaizumi**
The Naruko Shoukichi I know
always overcomes all obstacles.
**[12:19] Imaizumi**
He's a powerful man who
charges straight ahead.
**[12:22] Imaizumi**
Do it. Complete the final
task you chose for yourself.
**[12:31] Naruko**
Now you're talkin', hotshot.
**[12:33] Naruko**
Thanks. I'll accept your
injection of determination.
**[12:38] Sakamichi**
That's the first time I've seen
Imaizumi-kun help Naruko-kun.
**[12:43] Sakamichi**
And the first time I've heard
Naruko-kun thank Imaizumi-kun.
**[12:50] Sakamichi**
We're changing, like ripples colliding
as they expand across the water.
**[12:57] Sakamichi**
Until recently, I didn't want
Naruko-kun to jump ahead.
**[13:01] Sakamichi**
I didn't want him to go any farther ahead.
**[13:05] Sakamichi**
Even though the three of
us made it this far...
**[13:08] Sakamichi**
Even though we were so close
to fulfilling our promise...
**[13:13] Sakamichi**
Even though Makishima-san
told me to dream...
**[13:18] Sakamichi**
I thought if Naruko-kun rested,
**[13:21] Sakamichi**
the three of us would be able to
cross the finish line together.
**[13:25] Sakamichi**
But no, that's not right anymore.
**[13:30] Sakamichi**
We're changing. Every second, we're changing.
**[13:37] Sakamichi**
Just as all six of us can't finish
together as much as we'd like to,
**[13:43] Sakamichi**
the three of us can't
finish together anymore.
**[13:47] Sakamichi**
Makishima-san was probably
trying to tell me...
**[13:50] (Flashback) Makishima**
So dream. Dream outrageous
and impossible dreams.
**[13:55] (Flashback) Makishima**
Sometimes you'll fail.
Sometimes they won't come true.
**[14:00] (Flashback) Makishima**
But your repeated efforts will
draw in the people around you...
**[14:10] Sakamichi**
I'm supposed to hold onto our dreams
**[14:14] Sakamichi**
and turn them into the strength to
clear new roads, and advance down them!
**[14:20] Sakamichi**
Naruko-kun!
**[14:23] Sakamichi**
It must be tough. It must be really tough.
**[14:27] Sakamichi**
But, um, thank you for doing this.
**[14:31] Sakamichi**
So let me give you all the
determination I can, too.
**[14:43] Naruko**
Thanks, Onoda-kun, hotshot.
**[14:49] Naruko**
I just reached 300 degrees.
**[14:54] Fan N**
Sohoku's catching up like crazy!
**[14:57] Fan O**
Look! His bike doesn't have a saddle!
**[14:59] Fan P**
Sohoku's red guy, Naruko,
is dancing without a saddle! Wow!
**[15:06] Imaizumi**
Naruko!
**[15:07] Sakamichi**
Naruko-kun!
**[15:11] Naruko**
I can feel their determination. It's crazy.
**[15:17] Naruko**
It's drivin' me forward.
**[15:19] Naruko**
Even though I'm strugglin'
and nearly at my limit,
**[15:22] Naruko**
I feel so powerful!
**[15:31] Midousuji**
Naruko!
**[15:34] Naruko**
Midousuji, I'm here. Just like you said,
I threw away everythin' I didn't need!
**[15:43] Naruko**
I threw away my bottles, my saddle,
and even finishin' the race!
**[15:48] Naruko**
I threw it all away to get here.
**[15:51] Naruko**
And after throwin' it all away,
**[15:54] Naruko**
the last thing remaining is the
thing you said to throw away first.
**[15:58] Naruko**
It's friendship.
**[16:00] Fan Ql**
Sohoku caught up to the lead
Kyoto Fushimi rider on the climb!
**[16:10] Midousuji**
He's beside me? Right beside me?
**[16:12] Midousuji**
He caught up to me?
**[16:16] Midousuji**
Friendship? What?
**[16:18] Midousuji**
After throwing everything away,
he still had friendship left?
**[16:22] Midousuji**
Gross, gross, gross...
**[16:25] Midousuji**
He used the thing he should've
thrown away first? What?
**[16:31] Midousuji**
Is that how you caught up to me, Naruko?
**[16:37] Naruko**
We caught up. Right, hotshot?
**[16:42] Naruko**
Right, hotshot? We should be next to him.
**[16:46] Naruko**
I can sense him. We're right
next to Midousuji, right?
**[16:52] Imaizumi**
Naruko can't see anymore.
**[16:58] Imaizumi**
Yeah, we caught right up to him.
**[17:02] Imaizumi**
You did well.
**[17:04] Imaizumi**
Thank you.
**[17:06] Naruko**
I'm glad... to hear... that.
**[17:13] Fan R**
#3 is falling back after all that hard work.
**[17:15] Fan S**
They're letting him rest in the back.
**[17:18] Fan R**
Wait, no. They didn't send him back.
**[17:24] Sakamichi**
Thank you, Naruko-kun.
**[17:27] Naruko**
We caught up. We really caught up.
**[17:31] Naruko**
I did it. I really did it.
**[17:34] Naruko**
I've got nothing left.
**[17:40] Naruko**
My hands, my legs, my toes...
**[17:44] Naruko**
I've used everything up.
**[17:47] Naruko**
I feel so fulfilled.
**[18:01] Naruko**
Hotshot, Onoda-kun, take this
with you to the finish line.
**[18:10] Naruko**
An injection of determination from me.
**[18:16] Naruko**
Go all-out, and make it flashy.
**[18:22] Midousuji**
You didn't even spare a glance for
your friend when he dropped out
**[18:26] Midousuji**
just before the finish line?
**[18:28] Midousuji**
I thought friends were supposed to rush
to their side and ask if they're okay.
**[18:31] Midousuji**
I thought friends cried and
screamed out of sadness.
**[18:35] Imaizumi**
Naruko wouldn't want that.
**[18:38] Imaizumi**
Don't look back. Head toward the finish line.
**[18:41] Imaizumi**
That's Naruko's last wish.
**[18:50] Imaizumi**
Attack all you want. I'll stop you.
**[18:54] Imaizumi**
And I'll cross the finish line before you,
**[18:58] Imaizumi**
as our team's ace.
**[19:00] Midousuji**
You'll stop me?
**[19:02] Midousuji**
You were so weak last year.
**[19:05] Midousuji**
I thought you'd grown a little after a year,
**[19:10] Midousuji**
but you made errors in judgment,
chirped like a baby, and broke again this year.
**[19:15] Midousuji**
You groaned and gasped in surprise.
**[19:18] Midousuji**
You haven't changed at all,
but you think you can stop me?
**[19:25] Fan T**
Sohoku and Kyoto Fushimi collided!
**[19:27] Fan U**
They're raring to go!
**[19:29] Midousuji**
Hitting him with his handlebars
didn't make him falter.
**[19:32] Midousuji**
Wimpy little Groanizumi!
**[19:34] Imaizumi**
What's the matter?
**[19:38] Imaizumi**
Bring it on.
**[19:40] Imaizumi**
We're at the front of the race.
**[19:42] Imaizumi**
The front of the race
is always a battlefield.
**[19:46] Imaizumi**
Let's tear each other apart, Midousuji.
**[19:51] Sakamichi**
Imaizumi-kun's body is emitting
some kind of pressure.
**[19:55] Sakamichi**
It's so strong.
**[19:59] Midousuji**
Groanizumi, what is this pressure?
**[20:03] Midousuji**
You look like you've just
been released from the limits
**[20:07] Midousuji**
that had been restraining you.
**[20:11] Midousuji**
In that case, shall we go?
**[20:14] Midousuji**
Either way, the only way to win
**[20:17] Midousuji**
is to either outsmart you or
pull ahead by brute force.
**[20:23] Midousuji**
Gross!

**[20:56] Tadokoro**
You can't miss the finish.
**[21:01] Tadokoro**
After all, it's the culmination
of all their efforts.
**[21:05] Kinjou**
Yeah, win or lose.
**[21:10] Makishima**
Don't make it sound so sad.
**[21:12] Makishima**
At least dream with them. Dreaming is free.
**[21:19] Kinjou**
You don't often talk about dreams, Makishima.
**[21:25] Makishima**
What can I say? Those three were dreamers.
**[21:29] Makishima**
Onoda, Naruko, and Imaizumi...
**[21:33] Makishima**
Those three always shrieking and squabbling.
**[21:36] Makishima**
They kept facing forward
when the going got tough
**[21:39] Makishima**
and worked together to find solutions.
**[21:42] Makishima**
They were always dreaming outrageous dreams.
**[21:46] Makishima**
And they passed that on to me.
**[21:51] Makishima**
It's too bad about Naruko, though.
**[21:55] Makishima**
But he probably conveyed
his hopes to the other two
**[21:58] Makishima**
and gave them a push,
trusting his dreams to them.
**[22:02] Tadokoro**
Yeah, no doubt about it.
**[22:08] Makishima**
In the end, you didn't get to see
the finish this year either, Naruko.
**[22:14] Makishima**
But knowing you, you probably
collapsed after exhausting yourself.
**[22:21] Makishima**
I'll say it again. Impressive work, Naruko.
**[22:33] Kinjou**
Stop the car, Tadokoro.
**[22:35] Tadokoro**

That's a huge crowd.
**[03:55] Makishima**
Private vehicles are being directed
to park in the lot behind it.
**[04:03] Arakita**
The goal gate, huh?
**[04:05] Arakita**
It's my first time passing though one.
**[04:08] Arakita**
I was a third-year last year,
and it was my first Inter-High.
**[04:12] Arakita**
I dropped out of the race and
was resting when it ended.
**[04:16] Arakita**
Let's see who passes through
this gate first this year.
**[04:27] Imaizumi**
Attack all you want. I'll stop you.
**[04:31] Imaizumi**
And I'll cross the finish line before you,
**[04:34] Imaizumi**
as our team's ace.
**[04:37] Midousuji**
You'll stop me?
**[04:40] Midousuji**
You were so weak last year.
**[04:44] Midousuji**
I thought you'd grown a little after a year,
**[04:47] Midousuji**
but you made errors in judgment,
chirped like a baby, and broke again this year.
**[04:51] Midousuji**

**[04:55] Midousuji**
You haven't changed at all,
but you think you can stop me?
**[05:01] Fan T**
Sohoku and Kyoto Fushimi collided!
**[05:04] Fan U**
They're raring to go!
**[05:05] Imaizumi**
What's the matter?
**[05:09] Imaizumi**
Bring it on.
**[05:13] Midousuji**
Groanizumi, what is this pressure?
**[05:18] Midousuji**
You look like you've just been released
**[05:21] Midousuji**
from the limits that had
been restraining you.
**[05:26] Midousuji**

Gross!
**[05:51] Cameraman**
Both of them looked so determined.
**[05:54] Cameraman**
Especially their expressions.
**[05:56] Cameraman**
Their eyes were pure, seeking victory.
**[05:58] Cameraman**
Riders always scowl like demons during the
all out sprint before the finish line,
**[06:04] Cameraman**
but for them, this is the
area in front of the goal.
**[06:07] Cameraman**
They're the two riders at
the front of the whole race.
**[06:11] Cameraman**
I'm not rooting for one or the other,
**[06:13] Cameraman**
but I hope they both finish
without any regrets.
**[06:17] Cameraman**
There are only 4.5 kilometers
remaining to the finish line.
**[06:21] Imaizumi**
Move, Midousuji.
**[06:23] Midousuji**
Fall back, Groanizumi.
**[06:27] Fan A**
Whoa, the sign!
**[06:28] Fan B**
He rode right on the edge!
**[06:30] Midousuji**
The gap, the gap, the gap...
**[06:33] Midousuji**
The gap that leads to victory.
**[06:35] Midousuji**
The opportunity to leave Groanizumi
behind and get ahead of him.
**[06:39] Midousuji**
Find it. It must be around here somewhere.
**[06:42] Midousuji**
The path to victory...
**[06:45] Midousuji**
Pry open the tiny gap to that path.
**[06:50] Midousuji**
I'll stick my fingers inside and pry it open.
**[06:53] Midousuji**
And I'll crawl through it.
**[06:56] Midousuji**
I'll crawl like my life depends
on it and seize victory.
**[07:05] Imaizumi**
He's riding so close to the edge of the
course that he knocked down a sign.
**[07:11] Imaizumi**
He's taking the shortest route
straight to the finish line.
**[07:16] Imaizumi**
Is Onoda keeping up?
**[07:18] Imaizumi**
No, I can't afford to worry
about what's behind me.
**[07:21] Imaizumi**
I need to focus all my attention on
what's in front of me, or he'll beat me.
**[07:25] Iamizumi**
That's the kind of pressure Midousuji exudes.
**[07:30] Midousuji**
Feel free to slow down if your legs
are getting tired, Groanizumi.
**[07:37] Midousuji**
Groanizumi!
**[07:41] Imaizumi**
Crap!
**[07:43] Fan C**
Sohoku wobbled!
**[07:44] Fan D**
Their wheels collided!
**[07:45] Fan E**
Kyoto Fushimi accelerated in the meantime!
**[07:48] Midousuji**
You lost focus for a moment there.
**[07:53] Midousuji**
What's wrong? Were you thinking
about your teammate behind you?
**[08:00] Imaizumi**
Our wheels made contact!
**[08:03] Imaizumi**
Since the front rider's back wheel is
bearing his weight and driving him forward,
**[08:07] Imaizumi**
the rear rider's front wheel is deflected.
**[08:10] Fan F**
Did he take advantage of a
moment's opening on purpose?
**[08:14] Fan F**
Does that mean Kyoto Fushimi
expected this to happen?
**[08:19] Fan F**
The course is about to enter a
downhill along a steep ridge.
**[08:26] Imaizumi**
That's right. This year, there are two
downhills at the end of the course.
**[08:29] Imaizumi**
The downhill before the climb
we just finished, and this one.
**[08:36] Midousuji**
It's open.
**[08:39] Midousuji**
The hole! The gap! To* victory*.
**[08:44] Midousuji**
I did it. A lead here is massive.
**[08:47] Midousuji**
My victory is becoming certain.
**[08:49] Midousuji**
I didn't miss a moment's opening.
**[08:52] Fan G**
Kyoto Fushimi's coming down in the lead!
**[08:54] Fan H**
Why is he leaning so far forward?
**[08:57] Fan I**
He's practically on top of his handlebars!
**[08:59] Fan J**
He's reducing his wind resistance
by streamlining his profile!
**[09:03] Midousuji**
I don't need your cheers.
**[09:05] Midousuji**
Why don't you direct them
at the guy behind me?
**[09:11] Midousuji**
Wish him luck.
**[09:13] Midousuji**
He's a little baby chick
who never seems to grow up.
**[09:18] Fan G**
Kyoto Fushimi's all alone!
**[09:20] Fan H**
He's more than three seconds
ahead of the guy behind him!
**[09:25] Imaizumi**
Damn it!
**[09:27] Sakamichi**
Imaizumi-kun!
**[09:32] Imaizumi**
Don't worry, Onoda.
**[09:35] Imaizumi**
I'm so calm right now,
I can hardly believe it myself.
**[09:41] Sakamichi**
What?
**[09:42] Imaizumi**
I felt this once before last year on
the third day of the Inter-High.
**[09:49] Imaizumi**
While fighting on the climb up Mt. Fuji,
**[09:52] Imaizumi**
all sounds faded away.
**[09:54] Imaizumi**
My senses were heightened.
**[09:58] (Flashback) Imaizumi**
Riding at the front is so quiet.
**[10:08] Imaizumi**
It feels great. It's a good feeling.
**[10:12] Imaizumi**
I'm growing right now.
**[10:17] Sakamichi**
Imaizumi-kun...
**[10:19] Imaizumi**
I'm going to catch up to him now.
**[10:21] Imaizumi**
I can do it.
**[10:23] Imaizumi**
I can tell. I can feel it.
**[10:26] Imaizumi**
I'll ride in front.
**[10:32] Imaizumi**
You're an interesting guy, Midousuji.
**[10:35] Imaizumi**
You always use tricky techniques and
risky methods to get in front of me.
**[10:42] Imaizumi**
You got me yet again.
**[10:44] Imaizumi**
Bring it on. I'll brush you aside.
**[10:47] Imaizumi**
Using all the strength
I have, again and again,
**[10:51] Imaizumi**
I'll keep knocking you down!
**[10:54] Imaizumi**
Midousuji Akira!
**[10:56] Fan I**
Sohoku's closing in! He's stupid fast!
**[10:59] Fan J**
He's crazy!
**[11:01] Fan I**
That's Imaizumi! The second-year, Imaizumi.
**[11:03] Fan I**
He's famous in Chiba.
**[11:06] Fan I**
He's swept every tournament
title since he was little.
**[11:09] Fan I**
Last year he served as his team's ace
assist in the Inter-High as a first-year.
**[11:14] Fan I**
On the third and final day,
on the climb up Mt. Fuji,
**[11:17] Fan I**
he even fought against Hakone Academy's
ace Fukutomi and won the mountain result.
**[11:26] Fan K**
He caught up to Kyoto Fushimi!
**[11:29] Midousuji**
I thought I'd finally pried open the gap.
**[11:35] Midousuji**
You closed my precious three-second lead.
**[11:40] Midousuji**
Not bad.
**[11:42] Midousuji**
I'd expect nothing less
from Sohoku's ace. So cool.
**[11:47] Midousuji**
But you rode so hard to catch up.
**[11:50] Midousuji**
You may look fine,
**[11:54] Midousuji**
but you're short of breath, aren't you?
**[11:57] Fan L**
Kyoto Fushimi accelerated!
**[11:58] Fan L**
The gap's widening again!
**[12:00] Midousuji**
Attacks are most effective right after
your opponent has finished his own attack.
**[12:06] Midousuji**
After someone has used all
the muscles in their body,
**[12:08] Midousuji**
raised their heart rate,
and pushed their heart,
**[12:13] Midousuji**
even the most athletic person needs some
time before they can go all-out again.
**[12:22] Midousuji**
And repeatedly going all out makes
your cells and muscles scream.
**[12:29] Midousuji**
I will pull ahead.
**[12:31] Midousuji**
You'll fall here, Groanizumi.
**[12:38] Imaizumi**
Didn't I tell you to bring it on
and that I'd stop you?
**[12:43] Midousuji**
What?
**[12:45] Imaizumi**
You were right earlier. I haven't
changed at all since one year ago.
**[12:50] Imaizumi**
You outsmarted me and won yesterday.
**[12:54] Imaizumi**
I hadn't achieved anything
over the past three days.
**[12:57] Imaizumi**
But there are people who
praised me regardless.
**[13:02] Imaizumi**
"Good job." "You're amazing." "Not bad."
**[13:08] Imaizumi**
Sometimes I hear their voices in my head.
**[13:11] Imaizumi**
They encourage me to keep going.
**[13:15] Imaizumi**
They're telling me to fight.
To stand strong. To move forward!
**[13:25] (Flashback) Naruko**
Catch, hotshot.
**[13:31] (Flashback) Naruko**
Don't dodge it, you jerk!
**[13:33] (Flashback) Imaizumi**
I thought it might be poisoned.
**[13:36] (Flashback) Naruko**
Why would I poison you?
**[13:37] (Flashback) Imaizumi**
So it's not poisoned? How unusual.
**[13:44] (Flashback) Naruko**
I've been wondering lately
about when a person grows.
**[13:52] (Flashback) Imaziumi**
Grows? Are you trying to get taller?
**[13:56] (Flashback) Naruko**
That's not what I meant, you jerk!
**[13:58] (Flashback) Naruko**
When they've lost something important,
their pride has been shattered,
**[14:03] (Flashback) Naruko**
and they've hit rock bottom. From there...
**[14:12] (Flashback) Naruko**
I think people grow when they've
gotta start all over from nothing.
**[14:20] (Flashback) Imaizumi**
Oh, you were being serious.
**[14:24] (Flashback) Naruko**
Yeah...
**[14:26] (Flashback) Naruko**
Real serious.
**[14:30] Imaizumi**
When the struggle makes people give up once,
**[14:34] Imaizumi**
but they're still struggling to
move forward and rise back up,
**[14:41] Imaizumi**
that's when people grow.
**[14:43] Imaizumi**
That's when they become stronger.
**[14:44] Fan M**
Sohoku's attacking! He's pulling
ahead of Kyoto Fushimi!
**[14:47] Imaizumi**
Isn't that right, Naruko?
**[14:49] Fan N**
Wow, he's pulling ahead!
**[14:53] Fan M**
Is he going for the
finish line from back here?
**[14:56] Imaizumi**
I'm going for it from here.
**[14:59] Imaizumi**
I can do it. I can tell. I can feel it.
**[15:02] Imaizumi**
I'll claim the finish line from here.
**[15:05] Imaizumi**
I'll do it myself.
***SIGN*** Yowamushi Pedal
**[15:30] Fan O**
Go!
**[15:31] Fan P**
Keep it up and you'll win again this year!
**[15:35] Imaizumi**
I don't hear anything. It's quiet.
**[15:38] Imaizumi**
It feels like all the cells in
my body are connected to my brain
**[15:41] Imaizumi**
and are moving freely.
**[15:48] Imaizumi**
They're directly connected.
**[15:50] Imaizumi**
Crap, this feels amazing.
**[15:54] Imaizumi**
I could win this year's Inter-High,
**[15:57] Imaizumi**
as long as nothing happens.
**[16:02] Fan Q**
Kyoto Fushimi's desperately chasing him!
**[16:04] Fan R**
But he's slowing falling behind!
**[16:06] Fan S**
That's it! He's gonna make it!
**[16:09] Fan S**
This year's winner is Sohoku!
**[16:12] Fan Q**
No, we don't know yet.
**[16:14] All**
What?
**[16:15] Fan Q**
There's a sudden wind blowing.
***SIGN*** Inter-High Road Race
**[16:18] Fan Q**
And some cold air has suddenly
blown in and darkened the skies.
**[16:25] Fan Q**
The weather changes quickly
in the mountains.
**[16:28] Fan Q**
Maybe it's temporary, but it's possible
that on the downhill ahead...
**[16:37] Fan Q**
It'll rain.
**[16:45] Imaizumi**
Rain?!
**[16:47] Imaizumi**
Now? On the downhill?
**[16:52] Imaizumi**
It hampers visibility and makes
the road surface hard to see.
**[16:55] Imaizumi**
Not only that, but rain lifts dust when it
starts falling, reducing my tires' grip.
**[17:03] Imaizumi**
It might cause me to slip.
**[17:08] Imaizumi**
Rain is risky, but we're
all in the same boat.
**[17:13] Imaizumi**
Road racing is an all-weather sport.
**[17:16] Imaizumi**
The terrain and weather are part of the race,
**[17:21] Imaizumi**
and we fight to determine the
winner under those conditions.
**[17:25] Imaizumi**
Naturally, I've practiced riding in the rain.
**[17:29] Imaizumi**
I'm going all-out.
**[17:31] Imaizumi**
I'll ride alone under these conditions.
**[17:35] Midousuji**
Rain!
**[17:37] Midousuji**
Such unfortunate weather we're having.
**[17:39] Imaizumi**
Midousuji!
**[17:42] Midousuji**
What's wrong? You look
like you've seen a ghost.
**[17:48] Midousuji**
You just said you'd ride alone, didn't you?
**[17:53] Imaizumi**
When did he get right behind me?
**[17:56] Midousuji**
Don't be so surprised.
**[17:58] Midousuji**
I just turned my pedals and caught up to you
**[18:02] Midousuji**
while you were hesitating
because of the rain.
**[18:06] Midousuji**
I showed up while you were regaining
your balance after slipping.
**[18:16] Midousuji**
I closed the gap you so desperately created.
**[18:33] Fan R**
Kyoto Fushimi's so close! They're colliding!
**[18:35] Fan S**
They're riding right next to each other!
**[18:37] Fan S**
Aren't they scared? It's raining!
**[18:42] Imaizumi**
Does he not understand how risky the rain is?
**[18:45] Midousuji**
Fall, and it's over.
**[18:48] Midousuji**
You'll fall dozens of seconds behind.
**[18:51] Midousuji**
An irrecoverable loss.
**[18:54] Imaizumi**
So he does know. He knows, and yet...
**[18:57] Midousuji**
I wonder who summoned this rain.
**[19:01] Midousuji**
It's a passing shower.
**[19:02] Midousuji**
Ten minutes from now or ten minutes earlier,
and we wouldn't have been rained on.
**[19:05] Midousuji**
But it's raining now on this downhill.
**[19:10] Midousuji**
Either you or I summoned it.
**[19:14] Midousuji**
Road racing is about
terrain, weather, and luck.
**[19:20] Midousuji**
The luckiest survive.
**[19:23] Midousuji**
Shall we find out
**[19:24] Midousuji**
whether it was lucky or unlucky
that it started raining?
**[19:30] Midousuji**
Which of us is luckier?
**[19:32] Midousuji**
We'll race around this last turn and
see who enters the climb first.
**[19:41] Midousuji**
Doesn't that sound fun?
**[19:45] Imaizumi**
A race?
**[19:47] Midousuji**
That's right. To the final climb on the
third and final day of the Inter-High.
**[19:54] Midousuji**
One last contest.
**[19:59] Imaizumi**
Fine. Bring it on.
**[20:02] Midousuji**
Shall we decide which of us is worthy
of the champion's title, then?
**[20:07] Midousuji**
Which of us is luckier?
**[20:10] Midousuji**
It'll be decided on this rainy downhill.
**[20:14] Imaizumi**
Midousuji's attacking!
**[20:19] Imaizumi**
He's accelerating again.
**[20:21] Imaizumi**
His rear wheel is slipping,
but he's still dancing to accelerate.
**[20:25] Midousuji**
Gross! So gross!
**[20:28] Imaizumi**
At first glance, his form seems strange,
**[20:31] Imaizumi**
but from behind,
**[20:33] Imaizumi**
I can tell he's moving his body back and
forth precisely to maintain his balance.
**[20:37] Imaizumi**
He's even using his long
neck to shift his weight.
**[20:40] Imaizumi**
They say a person's bike
control is determined by
**[20:41] Imaizumi**
how well they ride downhill on a rainy day,
**[20:45] Imaizumi**
but he's dancing within
millimeters of losing his balance
**[20:49] Imaizumi**
and falling on rain-slick tires.
**[20:55] Imaizumi**
His bike control is actually insanely good.
**[21:01] Imaizumi**
Sorry, though.
**[21:03] Imaizumi**
I'm confident in my own abilities as well.
**[21:10] Midousuji**
You caught up. But should
you be going that fast?
**[21:15] Midousuji**
There's a sharp turn up ahead.
**[21:18] Midousuji**
Shouldn't you be braking?
**[21:21] Imaizumi**
You first.
**[21:23] Midousuji**
No, you go ahead. You'd better hurry.
**[21:26] Midousuji**
Everyone's worried about you.
**[21:30] Fan G**
Are they okay? They won't
make the turn at that speed.
**[21:33] Fan H**
They're charging right in.
**[21:35] Imaizumi**
I know your tricks.
**[21:40] Imaizumi**
You're going to slide right through.
**[21:47] Fan G**
Their frames and styles are different, but...
**[21:51] Fan H**
Yeah, they were perfectly in sync.
**[21:56] Fan I**
Hey!
**[21:57] Fan J**
Wait, stop! The wind blew
the banner into the road!
***SIGN*** You can do it
**[22:04] Imaizumi**
No problem.
**[22:07] Midousuji**
None at all.
**[22:08] Imaizumi**
Move.
**[22:10] Imaizumi**
I'll jump over it.
**[22:12] All**
They jumped on their bikes!
**[22:17] Fan I**
Wow. They're both amazing, but a
winner will be chosen after this.
**[22:24] Fan I**
After all, it's a race.
**[22:26] Sakamichi**
Imaizumi-kun...
**[22:32] Sakamichi**
The rain's getting in my eyes.
**[22:36] Sakamichi**
Whoops.
**[22:39] Sakamichi**
It's slippery. I can't see very well.
**[22:43] Sakamichi**
I don't like rain or downhills.
**[22:47] Sakamichi**
My hands are slick, too.
**[22:49] Sakamichi**
The water's seeping into my jersey.
**[22:52] Sakamichi**
My bike control is diminished.
**[22:55] Sakamichi**
But...
**[22:57] Sakamichi**
I'll chase after Imaizumi-kun.
**[23:00] All**
You've got this!
**[23:05] Sakamichi**
I bounced.
**[23:06] Sakamichi**
There was a bump in the puddle.
I didn't notice!
**[23:11] Sakamichi**
Oh, no!

There was a bump in the puddle.

**[00:14] Sakamichi**

**[00:15] Sakamichi**
Calm down, calm down.
**[00:19] Sakamichi**
Don't lose control.
**[00:22] Sakamichi**
I have to go.
**[00:25] Sakamichi**
To the front, with Imaizumi-kun.
**[00:31] Sakamichi**
Imaizumi-kun!
**[00:32] Imaizumi**
Don't worry, Onoda.
**[00:35] Imaizumi**
We'll catch up to him soon,
and then pass him.
**[00:39] Imaizumi**
So follow me.
**[00:44] Imaizumi**
Do whatever you can to keep up.
**[00:47] Imaizumi**
Whether it's 100 meters or
10 centimeters before the finish line,
**[00:54] Imaizumi**
pass Midousuji.
**[00:57] Imaizumi**
Our flashy red teammate used the last
of his strength to bring us here.
**[01:06] Imaizumi**
His nonsensical pipe dream
**[01:09] Imaizumi**
of a three-way finish makes
you laugh, doesn't it?
**[01:14] Imaizumi**
So let's do it together, you and I.
**[01:17] Imaizumi**
Sohoku will finish first and second.
**[01:21] Sakamichi**
A one-two finish for Sohoku...
**[01:25] (Flashback) Naruko**
I think it'd feel amazing
**[01:29] (Flashback) Naruko**
if we finished first all
three days together.
**[01:36] Sakamichi**
Our promise to Naruko-kun...
**[01:41] Sakamichi**
Yeah...
**[01:43] Sakamichi**
Yeah.
**[01:45] Sakamichi**
Got it.
**[01:47] Imaizumi**
Let's go. I'll pass Midousuji ahead of us.
**[01:50] Imaizumi**
I'll ride in the lead.
**[01:53] Sakamichi**
So...
**[01:55] Sakamichi**
I need to reach the front.
**[01:58] Sakamichi**
Calm down, calm down.
**[02:01] Fan A**
He's coming this way!
**[02:02] Sakamichi**
Calm down!
**[02:05] Sakamichi**
It calmed down!
**[02:07] Fan B**
That was some crazy cornering!
**[02:10] Fan C**
Did he just drift on a bike?
**[02:12] Fan D**
That couldn't have been on purpose.
**[02:14] Fan A**
But that boy was amazing.
**[02:17] Fan A**
He was looking forward and riding
straight ahead as hard as he could.
**[02:21] Fan A**
Watching him gives me courage.
**[02:25] Sakamichi**
Both Imaizumi-kun and Midousuji-kun are fast.
**[02:28] Sakamichi**
I'm chasing after them as fast
as I can, but I'm falling behind.
**[02:32] Sakamichi**
The way they're riding down this challenging
rainy downhill so quickly is impressive.
**[02:38] Sakamichi**
But I heard the rain robs your
body of heat and stamina.
**[02:43] Sakamichi**
The anxiety-inducing surface
of the road stresses you out.
**[02:47] Sakamichi**
Not only that, but we've been riding for
three days, and this is the final peak.
**[02:52] Sakamichi**
The two riding in the front...
**[02:55] Sakamichi**
must be pretty exhausted.
**[02:58] Imaizumi**
We're almost there.
**[02:59] Midousuji**
We're almost there.
**[03:00] Both**
To the end of the downhill.
**[03:03] Imaizumi**
Midousuji, if you're tired,
feel free to brake and fall back.
**[03:07] Midousuji**
Why don't you go ahead, Groanizumi?
**[03:10] Midousuji**
Go on, fall back.
**[03:11] Imaizumi**
I trust you're keeping up, Sakamichi.
**[03:15] Imaizumi**
Let's go. Sohoku's finishing
first and second.
***SIGN*** Yowamushi Pedal
***SIGN*** Water Gate Dive
**[04:52] Midousuji**
There.
**[04:53] Imaizumi**
I see it.
**[04:54] Both**
The moment of truth.
**[04:56] Imaizumi**
Once we're there, before he acts...
**[04:58] Midousuji**
Before he gets a chance...
**[05:00] Imaizumi**
Definitely.
**[05:02] Midousuji**
Without a doubt.
**[05:03] Both**
I'll attack.
**[05:06] Midousuji**
Gross!
**[05:12] Imaizumi**
There's a puddle covering the road.
**[05:15] Imaizumi**
Not only that, but it's pretty big.
**[05:18] Imaizumi**
There's a puddle blocking
the start of the climb.
**[05:23] Imaizumi**
Is the drain backed up?
**[05:25] Imaizumi**
Is all the rainwater from this sudden
downpour putting it over capacity?
**[05:30] Imaizumi**
There's a huge puddle at the
critical point on the course.
**[05:34] Imaizumi**
But you'd never suggest we safely and
slowly cross it, right, Midousuji?
**[05:41] Midousuji**
Of course not.
**[05:45] Midousuji**
We're in the middle of the race.
**[05:47] Midousuji**
Doesn't this make it more interesting?
**[05:49] Midousuji**
It's the perfect thing for the end of a
race when we're running on fumes.
**[05:56] Midousuji**
Into the puddle...
**[05:58] Imaizumi**
We'll dive at full speed.
**[06:00] Midousuji**
How deep is it?
**[06:03] Midousuji**
Too deep, and the water
resistance will stop our bikes.
**[06:08] Midousuji**
We want to cross the shallowest point.
**[06:11] Midousuji**
But the depth varies across the puddle.
**[06:15] Midousuji**
Is the inside shallowest?
**[06:17] Midousuji**
Is the outside shallowest?
**[06:19] Midousuji**
Or is the middle?
***SIGN*** MIDDLE
**[06:22] Midousuji**
Cornering theory calls for taking
the shortest route on the inside.
**[06:28] Midousuji**
But that doesn't apply now.
**[06:33] Midousuji**
Not only that, but because of the
muddy rainwater that's accumulated,
**[06:38] Midousuji**
we can't visually discern the
road's surface condition.
**[06:47] Midousuji**
Didn't I say you need luck?
**[06:50] Midousuji**
Luck, luck, luck, luck...
**[06:55] Midousuji**
Whoever's luckier will win.
**[07:01] Midousuji**
Now dive into the water gate of fate.
**[07:05] Imaizumi**
I'll trust my fate to the
heavens and charge in.
**[07:12] Midousuji**
Groanizumi got ahead.
**[07:14] Midousuji**
How are you so spirited?
**[07:17] Fan E**
Sohoku moved up!
**[07:19] Fan F**
He's charging in at full speed!
**[07:20] Fan E**
He's trying to brute force his way through!
**[07:22] Fan F**
Will he be okay?
**[07:23] Fan G**
I got stuck down there earlier,
and it was pretty deep!
**[07:29] Midousuji**
Why are you so spirited?
**[07:36] Midousuji**
He fell for it.
**[07:41] Fan F**
What?
**[07:42] Fan E**
Kyoto Fushimi shifted to
the edge of the course!
**[07:45] Midousuji**
This is why everyone still
calls you Chirpizumi.
**[07:51] Midousuji**
You need to be more observant.
**[07:55] Midousuji**
You need to search more desperately
for the path to victory.
**[08:02] Midousuji**
Charge right in, Chirpizumi. Just like that.
**[08:06] Midousuji**
You'll drown in that puddle, unable to fly.
**[08:11] Imaizumi**
Wait.
**[08:13] Imaizumi**
Trust the heavens and charge in?
**[08:17] Imaizumi**
Would he do something like that?
**[08:20] (Flashback) Midousuji**
Underhanded?
**[08:23] (Flashback) Midousuji**
You shouldn't be blaming others.
**[08:26] (Flashback) Midousuji**
That's what you call unjustified resentment.
**[08:30] (Flashback) Midousuji**
You're a nasty, nasty person.
**[08:36] Imaizumi**
He's so chatty and cunning.
**[08:39] Imaizumi**
Would he...
**[08:41] (Flashback) Midousuji**
Now dive into the water gate of fate.
**[08:46] Imaizumi**
...dive in?
**[08:48] Imaizumi**
Did he entice me into
charging into the puddle?
**[08:52] Imaizumi**
In that case,
**[08:54] Imaizumi**
is there some other strategy to cross this
puddle that only he instantly identified?
**[09:02] Imaizumi**
The drain cover.
**[09:04] Imaizumi**
It was practically invisible under the grass,
**[09:07] Imaizumi**
but there's a covered gutter
on the left side of this road.
**[09:11] Imaizumi**
We have no idea what the road's surface
condition is like under the water.
**[09:16] Imaizumi**
The safest route through
this puddle dive is...
**[09:20] Imaizumi**
on top of the drain cover
on the outside of the turn.
**[09:25] Fan H**
They're both charging into the puddle!
**[09:27] Fan H**
Sohoku's crossing the middle!
Kyoto Fushimi's right on the edge!
**[09:32] Imaizumi**
**[09:33] Midousuji**
Groanizumi, you have to throw
away your preconceptions.
**[09:39] Midousuji**
Like your preconception that you have
to charge straight into a puddle.
**[09:47] (Flashback) Imaizumi**
But you'd never suggest we safely and
slowly cross it, right, Midousuji?
**[09:53] Midousuji**
I threw away mine and searched.
**[09:56] Midousuji**
Desperately honing my senses,
all the nerves in my body...
**[10:02] Midousuji**
Is there any other way through this puddle?
**[10:05] Midousuji**
A certain method that minimizes damage?
**[10:14] Midousuji**
That's how I found the drain
cover hidden beneath the grass.
**[10:19] Imaizumi**
He got me.
**[10:21] Imaizumi**
He fell back momentarily
so he could change course.
**[10:28] Fan I**
Look! That spray is all
the water he's displacing!
**[10:32] Fan I**
The rider with the smaller spray
is facing less resistance.
**[10:35] Fan I**
He's following the better route.
**[10:40] Imaizumi**
Damn, the water's deep.
**[10:42] Imaizumi**
About half my wheels are submerged.
**[10:44] Imaizumi**
The water resistance is
weighing down my bike.
**[10:47] Imaizumi**
My pedaling legs won't listen to me.
**[10:54] Imaizumi**
My legs...
**[10:56] Imaizumi**
But don't stop, Imaizumi Shunsuke.
**[11:00] Fan J**
Sohoku's heading towards Kyoto Fushimi!
**[11:06] Midousuji**
Groanizumi forced his way over.
**[11:08] Midousuji**
Is he trying to stick to me?
**[11:10] Imaizumi**
Midousuji!
**[11:12] Fan H**
Now that I think about it,
riding through water is really risky.
**[11:17] Fan H**
You can't see anything.
**[11:19] Fan H**
Worst case, you could get a flat.
**[11:22] Fan I**
Yeah, which means their luck is being tested.
**[11:28] Imaizumi**
I taste iron in my mouth.
**[11:34] Midousuji**
Groanizumi!
**[11:35] Imaizumi**
Midousuji!
**[11:45] Fan K**
Sohoku lifted his bike onto the drain cover!
**[11:50] Fan K**
He's on!
**[11:53] Imaizumi**
I told you, this is our last contest.
**[11:58] Imaizumi**
Let's tear each other apart.
**[12:00] Fan L**
Sohoku's right behind Kyoto Fushimi!
**[12:04] Imaizumi**
Move. I'm riding in front.
**[12:09] Midousuji**
You're trying to pass me on
this narrow drain cover?
**[12:14] Imaizumi**
The luck you mentioned is definitely real.
**[12:19] Imaizumi**
Lucky and unlucky are real concepts.
**[12:24] Imaizumi**
But it's not determined from the start.
**[12:28] Imaizumi**
And it never falls into your lap.
**[12:31] Imaizumi**
So I'll go and get it,
**[12:34] Imaizumi**
with all my strength, no matter
how uncool I look, by brute force.
**[12:40] Imaizumi**
Using strength beyond my limits.
**[12:44] Fan M**
Sohoku forced his shoulder in!
**[12:47] Fan N**
He's passing Kyoto Fushimi!
He's exiting the puddle!
**[12:52] Fan O**
On the third and final day of the Inter-High,
the first rider to enter the final climb...
**[12:58] Fan P**
...is Sohoku's ace and #2, Imaizumi Shunsuke!
**[13:07] Fan Q**
Sohoku's so fast!
**[13:08] Fan R**
He's insanely spirited!
**[13:11] Fan P**
He's still accelerating on the climb!
**[13:13] Fan O**
The gap between Sohoku and
Kyoto Fushimi is widening!
**[13:17] Midousuji**
What? Weakizumi is strong?
**[13:20] Midousuji**
Groanizumi is strong? What?
**[13:24] Midousuji**
That's impossible.
**[13:29] Fan S**
Kyoto Fushimi's chasing him!
**[13:30] Fan T**
He hasn't given up!
**[13:33] Midousuji**
My legs... They're screaming...
**[13:38] Midousuji**
So, what? It doesn't matter.
**[13:42] Fan U**
Sohoku's accelerating again!
**[13:44] Fan V**
He's trying to leave Kyoto Fushimi behind!
**[13:48] Midousuji**
Groan, groan, Groanizumi!
**[13:51] Midousuji**
He's trying to leave me behind?
**[13:54] Midousuji**
Do you really think the
flooded end of the downhill
**[13:57] Midousuji**
was the deciding moment of our contest?
**[14:01] Midousuji**
Groanizumi!
**[14:04] Midousuji**
Gross!
**[14:07] Imaizumi**
This is the end. I'll pull
ahead completely here.
**[14:12] Imaizumi**
That puddle was the deciding
moment of our contest.
**[14:16] Imaizumi**
Throw off the limiter!
**[14:19] Imaizumi**
Going beyond my limits is seriously tough,
**[14:23] Imaizumi**
so grant me strength...
**[14:26] Imaizumi**
Teshima-san.
**[14:27] Imaizumi**
Aoyagi-san.
**[14:29] Imaizumi**
Kaburagi.
**[14:30] Imaizumi**
Onoda.
**[14:34] Imaizumi**
Naruko.
**[14:35] Imaizumi**
One last bit of strength.
**[14:40] Imaizumi**
This is my second Inter-High.
**[14:42] Imaizumi**
I've still got so much to learn.
**[14:45] Imaizumi**
I struggled through this race.
**[14:47] Imaizumi**
I'm grateful I'm allowed to ride
here with this jersey on my back.
**[14:52] Imaizumi**
So I'll beat all challengers!
**[14:57] Imaizumi**
That's what an ace does!
**[15:00] Fan W**
Sohoku's accelerating at full speed!
**[15:02] Fan V**
He's rapidly climbing the final hill!
**[15:07] Fan W**
Kyoto Fushimi's chasing him!
**[15:08] Fan V**
Yeah, but he's fallen behind!
**[15:11] Midousuji**
Groan, groan, groan.
**[15:14] Midousuji**
There's no way I can lose
to weak little Groanizumi.
**[15:20] Midousuji**
Not me.
**[15:22] Midousuji**
Not me!
**[15:24] Midousuji**
Extend your arms. Seek it.
**[15:27] Midousuji**
Extend arms from your pores.
**[15:30] Midousuji**
Extend, extend, extend them all...
**[15:34] Midousuji**
and seize it.
**[15:46] (Flashback) Midousuji Mom**
There's a proper way to catch fireflies.
**[15:50] (Flashback) Midousuji Mom**
Like this, so you don't crush them.
**[15:53] (Flashback) Midousuji Mom**
Gently.
**[15:55] (Flashback) Midousuji Mom**
That goes for everything.
**[15:58] (Flashback) Midousuji Mom**
Everything precious should be held gently.
**[16:03] Midousuji**
Precious? My body?
**[16:07] Midousuji**
No, it's victory.
**[16:11] Midousuji**
Victory, victory.
**[16:14] Midousuji**
It's victory!
**[16:30] (Flashback) Midousuji Mom**
You've got more scrapes again.
**[16:36] (Flashback) Midousuji Mom**
Akira, take good care of your body.
**[16:41] (Flashback) Midousuji Mom**
You're a hard worker,
**[16:44] (Flashback) Midousuji Mom**
so I worry about you a little.
**[16:50] Midousuji**
You don't need to worry about me.
**[16:59] Midousuji**
I'm falling? Here?
**[17:05] Midousuji**
That's impossible. I'm almost there.
**[17:12] Midousuji**
I'll pedal until I've reached
my limit and pass everyone.
**[17:21] Midousuji**
Pass everyone...
**[17:24] Midousuji**
and win.
**[17:31] Midousuji**
Seize victory...
**[17:35] Fan X**
He fell!
**[17:36] Fan Y**
That's Kyoto Fushimi's #111!
**[17:42] Fan Z**
He was magnificent.
**[17:47] (Flashback) Midousuji**
Open, hole.
**[17:52] (Flashback) Midousuji**
Open, come on.
**[17:58] (Flashback) Imaizumi**
Move, Midousuji.
**[18:02] (Flashback) Midousuji**
Gross.
**[18:05] Fan Z**
Last year he raced with
two colored number tags.
**[18:09] Fan Z**
Spectators trembled at how hard he fought.
**[18:14] Fan Z**
At the three-kilometer marker, he
collapsed and dropped out of the race.
**[18:20] Fan Z**
This year,

**[18:35] Kyofushi**
Excuse me.
**[18:37] Kyofushi**
Yamaguchi-san, Funatsu-san.
**[18:40] Funatsu**
What? Midousuji fell?
**[18:42] Kyofushi**
Yes, they just announced it.
**[18:44] Funatsu**
He fell? But I just heard
he was riding at the front.
**[18:48] Funatsu**
Did he slip?
**[18:50] Kyofushi**
No, we don't know why yet.
**[18:53] Funatsu**
But we completed all his phases, too.
**[18:57] Yamaguchi**
I see. Midousuji didn't make it to the end.
**[19:02] (Flashback) Midousuji**
In order to ensure the third day
goes advantageously for us,
**[19:05] (Flashback) Midousuji**
I need you to complete this phase.
**[19:09] (Flashback) Midousuji**
It's all riding on your shoulders,
Yamaguchi-kun.
**[19:17] Yamaguchi**
We had our misunderstandings,
but maybe trying to win alone...
**[19:25] Yamaguchi**
* Why does he keep making*
* unreasonable requests?*
**[19:30] Yamaguchi**
* It's unreasonable!*
* Unreasonable! Unreasonable!*
**[19:37] Yamaguchi**
Maybe we made the most
unreasonable request of him.
**[19:45] Yamaguchi**
He was incredible at
practice and won yesterday.
**[19:49] Yamaguchi**
He's superhuman.
**[19:51] Yamaguchi**
I thought we could count
on him to do anything.
**[19:55] (Flashback) Ishigaki**
Yama, you have to be
Midousuji's conscience.
**[20:00] Yamaguchi**
I should've been watching
Midousuji more closely
**[20:09] Yamaguchi**
because he always pushes
himself to the limit.
**[20:15] Yamaguchi**
Ishigaki-san, is that what you meant?
**[20:19] Yamaguchi**
On the day of your graduation,
you asked me to stay by his side.
**[20:33] Midousuji**
Sakamichi...
**[20:41] Sakamichi**
Sorry, Midousuji-kun.
**[20:44] Midousuji**
Gross. Sorry? What?
**[20:49] Midousuji**
Why did you look at me like that?
**[20:52] Midousuji**
Were you going to stop because
you were worried about me?
**[20:58] Midousuji**
During a race?
**[21:03] Midousuji**
You're extraordinary in every way, Sakamichi.
**[21:13] Midousuji**
The rain finally stopped.
**[21:20] Imaizumi**
The rain stopped.
**[21:23] Imaizumi**
I pulled ahead completely.
**[21:27] Imaizumi**
All right.
**[21:30] Imaizumi**
I'm glad my legs lasted.
**[21:33] Imaizumi**
I really was at my limit.
**[21:36] Imaizumi**
I just passed the three-kilometer marker.
**[21:39] Imaizumi**
I'm almost there.
**[21:42] Imaizumi**
My legs are shot, but I can maintain
this pace to the final gate.
**[21:45] Imaizumi**
I see more spectators.
**[21:48] Imaizumi**
The finish line is close.
**[21:52] Imaizumi**
This is crazy. I've won lots of races before,
but the Inter-High is on another level.
**[22:00] Imaizumi**
My heart is pounding.
**[22:03] Imaizumi**
Let's go, Imaizumi Shunsuke.
**[22:06] Imaizumi**
I'll deliver this jersey to...
**[22:10] Imaizumi**
What? Someone's catching up
from behind. Who is it?
**[22:15] Imaizumi**
It's...
**[22:20] Imaizumi**
Onoda!
**[22:22] Sakamichi**
Imaizumi-kun.
**[22:24] Imaizumi**
Seriously?
**[22:25] Sakamichi**
I caught up.
**[22:28] Imaizumi**
You're amazing, Sakamichi.
**[22:30] Sakamichi**
Sorry I took so long.
**[22:33] Sakamichi**
I did my best to keep up,
**[22:36] Sakamichi**
but the rain gave me a lot of trouble.
**[22:39] Sakamichi**
The course was badly flooded at
the bottom of the final climb.
**[22:44] Sakamichi**
It slowed me down.
**[22:46] Imaizumi**
You made it in time.
**[22:51] Imaizumi**
Good job catching up.
You're the best, Sakamichi.
**[22:57] Imaizumi**
Let's go.
**[22:58] Imaizumi**
Sohoku's finishing first and second.
**[23:01] Sakamichi**
Yeah.
**[23:04] Midousuji**
But Sakamichi, your hesitation will
invite a fate you can't escape.

I'm finally entering the climb.
**[00:17] Sakamichi**
What?
**[00:20] Sakamichi**
Midousuji-kun?
**[00:22] Sakamichi**
He's on the ground.
**[00:24] Sakamichi**
He fell.
**[00:26] Sakamichi**
Did he hit something?
**[00:29] Sakamichi**
Or did he exhaust himself?
**[00:32] Sakamichi**
I should stop and check—
**[00:50] (Flashback) Imaizumi**
So follow me.
**[00:54] Sakamichi**
But right now...
**[01:00] Imaizumi**
I see. Midousuji's out.
**[01:03] Sakamichi**
Yeah, before the end.
**[01:06] Imaizumi**
So he ran out of steam.
**[01:09] Imaizumi**
Well, we did push ourselves to the limit.
**[01:12] Sakamichi**
Yeah. For a while, I could
still see your backs.
**[01:15] Sakamichi**
You were both riding like crazy.
**[01:18] Imaizumi**
Honestly, it was a close call for me, too.
**[01:21] Imaizumi**
I was at my limit, my body was exhausted,
and the rain made everything slippery.
**[01:27] Imaizumi**
Despite all that, I kept turning my
pedals to get as far ahead as possible.
**[01:32] Imaizumi**
The team must've given me the push I needed.
**[01:35] Sakamichi**
What?
**[01:37] Imaizumi**
I felt like I couldn't afford to lose
as long as I was wearing this jersey.
**[01:45] Imaizumi**
Thank you, Sakamichi.
**[01:47] Imaizumi**
When I saw you just now...
**[01:52] Imaizumi**
I was actually pretty moved.
**[01:54] Sakamichi**
What?
**[01:57] Sakamichi**
Yeah, great.
**[02:02] Sakamichi**
We're almost there.
**[02:03] Imaizumi**
Yeah. I feel kind of excited.
**[02:06] Imaizumi**
We're just over two kilometers
from the finish line.
**[02:09] Sakamichi**
Two kilometers? We're that close already?
**[02:12] Sakamichi**
It was a long course, but we're finally here.
**[02:15] Imaizumi**
Yeah.
**[02:16] Sakamichi**
I wonder if Naruko-kun would be happy to
hear about the one-two finish you mentioned.
**[02:33] Imaizumi**

And you gave everything you had.
**[06:11] Danchiku**
So did Aoyagi-san on that leg.
**[06:16] Danchiku**
Sohoku is a strong team.
**[06:19] Danchiku**
I hope I can ride with this team next year
**[06:25] Danchiku**
and wear that jersey in this race.
**[06:32] Koga**
You've grown, Imaizumi.
**[06:36] Koga**
When you joined, you had a terrible attitude.
**[06:38] Koga**
You hated losing and prioritized yourself.
**[06:43] Koga**
Now, despite your snark,
you think of the team as you ride.
**[06:48] Koga**
You think of our jersey.
**[06:53] Koga**
Naruko, Onoda, and all the
others have grown, too.
**[06:56] Koga**
I can tell because I've been watching.
**[07:00] Koga**
I'm happy for you, Junta and Aoyagi.
**[07:07] Koga**
The boldness you've demonstrated
has made them stronger.
**[07:12] Koga**
I'm proud of you.
**[07:19] Koga**
For the remaining 2.5 kilometers...
**[07:24] Koga**
I pray that
**[07:28] Koga**
nothing happens.
**[07:33] Imaizumi**
The pressure is incredible.
**[07:35] Sakamichi**
Someone's coming.
**[07:36] Imaizumi**
You're kidding. Why now?
**[07:39] Imaizumi**
There are only two kilometers remaining.
**[07:41] Imaizumi**
Let's raise our pace, Onoda.
**[07:43] Sakamichi**
Yeah.
**[07:46] Imaizumi**
Imaizumi-kun!
**[07:51] Imaizumi**
I exhausted my legs in my
battle against Midousuji.
**[07:53] Imaizumi**
I can't go any faster.
**[08:01] Imaizumi**
Go, Onoda. Accelerate on your own.
**[08:04] Sakamichi**
What?
**[08:05] Imaizumi**
Just go.
**[08:10] (Flashback) Imaizumi**
Let's go.
**[08:11] (Flashback) Imaizumi**
Sohoku's finishing first and second.
**[08:15] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
Yeah.
**[08:17] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
I wonder if Naruko-kun would
be happy to hear about it.
**[08:23] Imaizumi**
If they catch up to us, it's all over.
**[08:25] Imaizumi**
You need to stay ahead.
**[08:27] Imaizumi**
Pedal as hard as you can to the finish line.
**[08:30] Sakamichi**
What about you?
**[08:32] Imaizumi**
I can't go with you.
**[08:33] Imaizumi**
Just ride, Onoda Sa...
**[08:41] Kuroda**
You issued those orders a
little too late, Imaizumi.
**[08:46] Manami**
I'm here, Onoda Sakamichi-kun,
just as promised.
**[08:51] Sakamichi**
M-Manami-kun...
**[08:56] Imaizumi**
Hakone Academy caught up
in the eleventh hour.
**[09:03] Kuroda**
I pulled as hard as I could
so he could rest behind me.
**[09:07] Kuroda**
And now we've caught up to Sohoku.
**[09:11] Kuroda**
All that's left is for you
to fly up toward the sky.
**[09:14] Kuroda**
Go on!
**[09:16] Kuroda**
Fly, Manami Sangaku!
**[09:20] Manami**
Thank you, Kuroda-san!
**[09:25] Imaizumi**
He's fast!
**[09:26] Sakamichi**
He's right next to us!
**[09:30] Sakamichi**
In an instant...
**[09:31] Imaizumi**
He passed us!
**[09:37] Fan**
What?
**[09:38] Fan**
When did they get there?
**[09:39] Fan**
Whose jersey is that?
**[09:40] Fan A**
I'm telling you, the situation changed!
**[09:43] Fan A**
It's not Sohoku.
**[09:44] Fan A**
Hakone Academy's ace climber
is currently in the lead.
**[09:48] Fan A**
#13, Manami Sangaku.
**[09:52] Fan A**
Hakone Academy is so fast.
**[09:54] Fan A**
And he's smiling.
**[10:00] Imaizumi**
Go after him, Onoda.
**[10:01] Imaizumi**
He's going for the finish line.
**[10:03] Imaizumi**
Go. You're the only one who
can do anything right now.
**[10:07] Sakamichi**
But... why now?
**[10:11] Imaizumi**
What are you saying? What are you doing?
**[10:14] Imaizumi**
Onoda!
**[10:17] Sakamichi**
Manami-kun said "promise."
**[10:21] Imaizumi**
That doesn't matter right now.
**[10:24] Sakamichi**
Promise...
**[10:27] Sakamichi**
At the starting line on the first day...
**[10:31] (Flashback) Manami**
On that mountain...
**[10:33] (Flashback) Manami**
Let's squeeze every bit of strength
and fight to the end!
**[10:40] Sakamichi**
In the mountains on the second day...
**[10:43] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
I'd like to race against Hakone
Academy's Manami Sangaku-kun.
**[10:48] (Flashback) Teshima**
Can you do it, Onoda?
**[10:50] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
Yes, sir!
**[10:52] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
Sorry, Manami-kun.
**[10:54] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
I... I...
**[10:58] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
I'm going!
**[11:02] Sakamichi**
And today, when the third day started...
**[11:07] (Flashback) Manami**
I'll see you later on the
course, Sakamichi-kun.
**[11:12] Sakamichi**
We promised we'd race somewhere.
**[11:15] Sakamichi**
That we'd give everything
we had together again.
**[11:22] Imaizumi**
Onoda...
**[11:23] Sakamichi**
But this is the critical moment when the
outcome of all our efforts will be decided.
***SIGN*** Event & Team Vehicles Turn Left
***SIGN*** Finish Line Up Ahead
**[11:33] Sakamichi**
I didn't think it would happen now.
**[11:36] Imaizumi**
Hurry up. Just go.
**[11:39] Imaizumi**
Onoda!
***SIGN*** Yowamushi Pedal
**[11:49] (Flashback) Makishima**
Don't be so irritable, Imaizumi.
**[11:52] (Flashback) Imaizumi**
Onoda's slow to make decisions.
**[11:55] (Flashback) Imaizumi**
It's fine in the mountains,
but on flats, he'd get left behind,
**[11:59] (Flashback) Imaizumi**
like just now.
**[12:01] (Flashback) Makishima**
Well, you know, he needs time.
**[12:05] (Flashback) Imaizumi**
But he won the Inter-High.
**[12:08] (Flashback) Imaizumi**
He needs to get stronger on
the flats so that next year—
**[12:11] (Flashback) Makishima**
Don't be so impatient.
**[12:14] (Flashback) Makishima**
Honestly, he is slow to make decisions.
**[12:17] (Flashback) Makishima**
Unlike others, he needs
time to think about things.
**[12:23] (Flashback) Makishima**
So when he's having trouble deciding,
wait for him, Imaizumi.
**[12:31] (Flashback) Imaizumi**
Me?
**[12:34] (Flashback) Makishima**
Don't worry.
**[12:35] (Flashback) Makishima**
He'll find his answer and move forward.
**[12:40] (Flashback) Makishima**
He's always
**[12:43] (Flashback) Makishima**
straightforward and earnest.
**[12:51] Sakamichi**
But I've reconsidered.
**[12:55] Sakamichi**
I wondered why this had to happen now,
**[12:58] Sakamichi**
but it's probably because it's such
a difficult and critical moment.
**[13:04] Sakamichi**
This is exactly when these things happen.
**[13:08] Sakamichi**
So I'm sorry, Imaizumi-kun.
**[13:11] Sakamichi**
I can't finish first and
second with you anymore.
**[13:14] Imaizumi**
Onoda...
**[13:16] Imaizumi**
You were trying to follow my orders
to achieve a one-two finish
**[13:20] Imaizumi**
in the final moments of the race?
**[13:23] Imaizumi**
Seriously...
**[13:25] Imaizumi**
Don't apologize.
**[13:27] Imaizumi**
I already knew we couldn't
when my legs stopped moving.
**[13:35] Imaizumi**
Don't hold back, Onoda.
**[13:37] Imaizumi**
Those orders are now rescinded.
**[13:42] Sakamichi**
Imaizumi-kun...
**[13:47] Imaizumi**
The situation has changed.
**[13:49] Imaizumi**
Your intuition is right.
We're really screwed.
**[13:53] Imaizumi**
So these are your final orders for this race.
**[13:58] Imaizumi**
Take our jersey to the finish line first.
**[14:03] Imaizumi**
These orders come from everyone on the team!
**[14:06] Sakamichi**
Got it!
**[14:11] Imaizumi**
Onoda's pressure is rising.
**[14:25] Imaizumi**
Go!
**[14:27] Imaizumi**
Steel your resolve! Don't look back!
**[14:29] Imaizumi**
Be strong, Onoda Sakamichi!
**[14:32] Onoda**
Yes, sir!
**[14:40] Imaizumi**
We're still in this.
**[14:42] Imaizumi**
If you hadn't caught up...
**[14:45] Imaizumi**
If I'd been alone, they would've
won the race for sure.
**[14:50] Imaizumi**
But you apologized? Stupid.
**[14:54] Imaizumi**
I should be thanking you, Onoda.
**[14:58] Imaizumi**
You're always saying ridiculous things.
**[15:03] Imaizumi**
And every time, your words save me.
**[15:06] Imaizumi**
Thank you. To me, you're a Superman
with glasses who's always by my side.
**[15:15] Fan B**
Sohoku is jumping ahead!
**[15:17] Fan C**
He's climbing like crazy!
**[15:19] Fan B**
That's #1, Onoda Sakamichi, the guy who
conquered Mt. Fuji at last year's Inter-High!
**[15:25] Fan C**
What? That little guy is the
legendary climber, the Mountain King?
**[15:31] Sakamichi**
I'm going now, Imaizumi-kun.
**[15:34] Sakamichi**
Thank you for giving me a push.
**[15:37] (Flashback) Imaizumi**
Be strong!
**[15:39] Sakamichi**
Be strong, be strong...
**[15:43] Sakamichi**
Be strong!
**[15:48] Sakamichi**
I see Manami-kun.
**[15:50] Fan D**
Wow. Sohoku's Onoda chased after Hakone
Academy's Manami when he jumped ahead.
**[15:57] Fan D**
They're going to battle with
only two kilometers to go?
**[16:03] Fan E**
Didn't they battle last year, too?
**[16:05] Fan D**
Yeah, but it has more meaning now.
**[16:07] Fan D**
It's been a year since then.
**[16:10] Fan D**
In one year, Onoda's been
nicknamed the Mountain King.
**[16:14] Fan D**
He's famous enough to attract
a crowd at hill climbs.
**[16:19] Fan D**
Meanwhile, Manami has won every
hill climb he's raced in over the past year.
**[16:25] Fan D**
In most cases, he set a new course record.
**[16:29] Fan D**
Those who raced against him
say he climbed so lightly,
**[16:33] Fan D**
they thought he'd fly up into the sky.
**[16:37] Fan D**
Apparently, he instantly passes people
with a pleasant smile on his face.
**[16:43] Fan D**
They call him...
**[16:45] Fan D**
The winged noble of the
heavens, the Sky Prince.
**[16:49] Fan D**
All those racing against him could
do was watch his back recede.
**[16:54] Manami**
I knew you'd come to the front
of the Inter-High, Sakamichi-kun.
**[17:03] Sakamichi**
Yeah, Manami-kun.
**[17:07] Manami**
It didn't have to be at the very end.
**[17:11] Sakamichi**
What?
**[17:13] Manami**
If you get two meters closer
to me, we'll have to race.
**[17:21] Sakamichi**
If I get two meters closer?
**[17:24] Manami**
I know we promised we'd race,
**[17:28] Manami**
that it'd be nice if we could go all-out
against each other at the Inter-High,
**[17:35] Manami**
but it didn't have to be at
the very end of the third day.
**[17:43] Manami**
It carries too much weight.
**[17:45] Manami**
Any contest between us would
be a contest between our teams.
**[17:51] Sakamichi**
He feels the same way I do.
**[17:55] Sakamichi**
Manami-kun!
**[17:57] Manami**
I was hoping for something more relaxed,
**[18:00] Manami**
like a mountain result line
or competing for third place.
**[18:04] Sakamichi**
Yeah.
**[18:06] Sakamichi**
I'm glad.
**[18:08] Sakamichi**
I understand that. I feel the same way.
**[18:18] Manami**
But things don't always go as planned.
**[18:24] Manami**
You didn't come in the
mountains on the first day.
**[18:30] Manami**
We didn't get to race on the second day.
**[18:34] Manami**
And today, on the third and final day,
**[18:37] Manami**
we're both riding as the last
remaining members of our teams.
**[18:41] Manami**
We finally have the opportunity
to race, and it's at the very end,
**[18:46] Manami**
with two kilometers remaining
to the finish line.
**[18:50] Manami**
But I believe...
**[18:52] Manami**
Suppose there's a God watching
over us who decides our fates.

Depending on your perspective
and your response,

you can turn events into good or bad ones.
**[19:39] Manami**
What's important is that we now have the
opportunity to race against each other.
**[19:47] Manami**
And we should be grateful for the
opportunity and live life to the fullest.
**[19:53] Sakamichi**
To the fullest...
**[19:55] Sakamichi**
Yeah.
**[19:57] Manami**
That's what it means to accept fate.
**[20:02] Sakamichi**
Accept fate...
**[20:09] Fan F**
Sohoku's accelerating!
**[20:11] Fan G**
He's closing in on Hakone Academy!
**[20:14] Sakamichi**
If I get two meters closer, we'll race.
**[20:17] Manami**
That's right. If you catch up,
I'll have to pull ahead.
**[20:22] Manami**
If you pass me, I'll have to pass you back.
**[20:25] Manami**
You've steeled your resolve, Sakamichi-kun.
**[20:28] Manami**
Very well. Let's race.
**[20:30] Manami**
This two-kilometer sign

**[20:46] Fan H**
They're both accelerating!
**[20:47] Fan I**
Hakone Academy versus Sohoku!
**[20:49] Fan I**
They're climbing crazy fast!
**[20:51] Fan J**
They were talking.
**[20:52] Fan I**
Yeah.
**[20:53] Fan H**
They were even laughing.
**[20:55] Fan I**
But Sohoku got a determined look in
his eye when they reached the sign.
**[21:01] Fan H**
Then he closed the gap.
**[21:03] Fan I**
His pace rose a shocking amount.

So fast!
**[21:32] Sakamichi**
Manami-kun removed his gloves.
**[21:37] Manami**
I can feel the wind of this race with all five senses and my prickling skin.
**[21:45] Manami**
The tension is pleasant.
**[21:49] Manami**
I won't hold back, Sakamichi-kun.
**[21:53] Sakamichi**
He unzipped his jersey, too.
**[21:55] Manami**
After all, it'd be a waste not
to go all-out against you.
**[22:03] Manami**
Sakamichi-kun!
**[22:05] Sakamichi**
Manami-kun!
**[22:07] Manami**
We can never experience this moment again.
**[22:11] Sakamichi**
Manami-kun, I can feel your
overwhelming competitive spirit.
**[22:18] Sakamichi**
I feel like I'd be blown away
**[22:20] Sakamichi**
if I didn't maintain my focus all the
way out to my fingertips and toes.
**[22:26] Sakamichi**
Focus and be strong.
**[22:29] Sakamichi**
Be strong.
**[22:31] Sakamichi**
Pedal with all your might.
**[22:34] Sakamichi**
Manami-kun!
**[22:36] Manami**
Fate...
**[22:38] Manami**
Perhaps this was destined to happen...
**[22:46] Manami**
ever since that day.
**[22:50] Manami**
Perhaps this year was
destined to end like this.
**[22:55] Sakamichi**
We're currently racing against each other.
**[23:00] Sakamichi**
I've been waiting for this moment.
**[23:10] Manami**
Ever since that day...
**[23:14] Sakamichi**
We met in early spring...

**[00:06] (Flashback) Pierre**
Go enjoy yourselves.
**[00:09] (Flashback) Pierre**
Today's race has ended,
so you've got some free time.
**[00:13] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
Huh? But...
**[00:16] (Flashback) Pierre**
Go on.
**[00:20] (Flashback) Naruko**
Free time? What are we,
middle schoolers on a class trip?
**[00:24] (Flashback) Naruko**
We're comin' back from a race.
We could've gone straight home.
**[00:28] (Flashback) Imaizumi**
Pierre-sensei's trying to give us a break.
**[00:32] (Flashback) Naruko**
What?
**[00:33] (Flashback) Imaizumi**
Our teamwork's been suffering lately
because we've been trying too hard.
**[00:38] (Flashback) Naruko**
And we lost today, too.
**[00:40] (Flashback) Imaizumi**
That bothers you?
**[00:42] (Flashback) Naruko**
Of course it does.
**[00:43] (Flashback) Naruko**
We lost to some weirdo named Daikanji
from Fujigawa while we were arguin'.
**[00:47] (Flashback) Naruko**
That's the worst thing
that could've happened.
**[00:51] (Flashback) Naruko**
Not only that, but after the race...
**[00:54] (Flashback) Daikanji**
There is no mountain taller than Mt. Fuji.
**[00:56] (Flashback) Naruko**
What the hell was that about?
**[00:58] (Flashback) Naruko**
That's just a fact! It's trivia!
**[00:59] (Flashback) Naruko**
Obviously there's no mountain
taller than Mt. Fuji,
**[01:02] (Flashback) Naruko**
but that's all there is to it.
**[01:03] (Flashback) Naruko**
God, he's so annoyin'.
**[01:04] (Flashback) Imaizumi**
Don't whine to me about that.
**[01:06] (Flashback) Imaizumi**
What matters now is the journey,
not the destination.
**[01:09] (Flashback) Imaizumi**
We just need to reach peak
performance by the Inter-High.
**[01:11] (Flashback) Naruko**
Easier said than done.
**[01:15] (Flashback) Naruko**
Is this why he told us to take a break?
**[01:18] (Flashback) Imaizumi**
Probably.
**[01:21] (Flashback) Imaizumi**
Honestly, I'm anxious, too.
**[01:24] (Flashback) Naruko**
Where's Teshima-san?
**[01:25] (Flashback) Imaizumi**
He said he's going to a café with Aoyagi-san.
**[01:28] (Flashback) Naruko**
What about Kabu?
**[01:29] (Flashback) Imaizumi**
He went to a surf shop with Danchiku.
**[01:32] (Flashback) Naruko**
So, what are we gonna do?
**[01:35] (Flashback) Imaizumi**
We're going to the aquarium.
**[01:36] (Flashback) Naruko**
What?
**[01:37] (Flashback) Imaizmi**
The aquarium. Pierre-sensei
gave us free passes.
**[01:41] (Flashback) Naruko**
What kind of modern-day high
school student enjoys aquariums?
**[01:44] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
What? The aquarium?
**[01:46] (Flashback) Naruko**
Onoda-kun's really into the idea.
**[01:48] (Flashback) Naruko**
Fine, then.
**[01:52] (Flashback) Naruko**
It's just a bunch of fish swimmin' around.
**[01:55] (Flashback) Naruko**
Ain't nothing to get so excited about.

Oh, damn! Jellyfish! Look at 'em!

**[03:40] (Flashback) Naruko**
I could watch them for hours.

I haven't been to the aquarium since
my second year of grade school,
**[03:45] (Flashback) Naruko**
but these modern ones are amazin'.
**[03:47] (Flashback) Imaizumi**
Naruko, you're scaring the children.
**[03:50] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
I'm glad you're having fun, Naruko-kun.
**[03:53] (Flashback) Imaizumi**
I should go get him before they throw us out.
**[03:56] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
I'll go buy some drinks.
**[03:58] (Flashback) Imaizumi**
Thanks, Onoda.
**[04:06] Sakamichi**
*Good. Naruko-kun's been so on edge recently.*
**[04:12] Sakamichi**
* Must be because things are*
* new and different this year.*
**[04:18] Sakamichi**
*We have different teammates now.*
**[04:20] Sakamichi**
* As second-years, we have*
* to make more decisions.*
**[04:23] Sakamichi**
* We're uncertain about everything,*
* and nothing goes as expected.*
**[04:27] Sakamichi**
*I couldn't do anything today.*
**[04:32] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
Huh? Are they this way? That way?
**[04:36] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
What? No?

**[04:55] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
How can I contact them without my phone?
**[04:58] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
I need a phone...
**[05:00] (Flashback) Manami**
You need a phone?
**[05:02] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
Huh?
**[05:05] (Flashback) Manami**
Wanna use mine?
**[05:12] (Flashback) Pierre**
Is everyone enjoying their break?
**[05:16] (Flashback) Pierre**
It's important to do your best,
but if that's all you do,
**[05:19] (Flashback) Pierre**
you'll exhaust yourself and
become unable to progress.
**[05:23] (Flashback) Pierre**
Being surrounded by nature, walking on your
own two feet, and thinking for yourself...
**[05:31] (Flashback) Pierre**
Reaffirming your love for bicycles...
**[05:35] (Flashback) Pierre**
It's important to take a break sometimes, too.
**[05:39] (Flashback) Pierre**
Bicycles are often compared to life.
**[05:43] (Flashback) Pierre**
You need two things to live
a rich and interesting life.
**[05:47] (Flashback) Pierre**
Ideas...
**[05:53] (Flashback) Pierre**
and encounters.
**[05:56] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
Manami-kun?
**[05:58] (Flashback) Manami**
Sakamichi-kun?
**[06:00] (Flashback) Both**
What are you doing here?
**[06:02] (Flashback) Both**
Jinx.
**[06:05] (Flashback) Manami**
We even jinxed our jinx.
**[06:06] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
Sorry, I spoke just as you did.
**[06:10] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
It's really you, right?
**[06:14] (Flashback) Manami**
Is that really *you?*
**[06:15] (Flashback) Manami**
Amazing, isn't it? I guess things
like this really do happen.
**[06:19] (Flashback) Manami**
What a coincidence.
**[06:21] Sakamichi**
* Maybe it's because I haven't*
* seen him since that snowy day,*
**[06:25] Sakamichi**
*but Manami-kun seems really mature.*
**[06:29] (Flashback) Manami**
What is it?
**[06:30] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
It's nothing.
**[06:32] (Flashback) Manami**
Sakamichi-kun, you look
a lot more mature now.
**[06:35] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
What? Who, me?
**[06:40] (Flashback) Manami**
Did your team get a lot of first-years?
**[06:43] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
Yeah, a bunch.
**[06:45] (Flashback) Manami**
We got a lot, too.
**[06:47] (Flashback) Manami**
But I can't remember any of them.
**[06:52] (Flashback) Manami**
The Inter-High's this summer.
**[06:57] (Flashback) Manami**
You'll be there, right?
**[06:58] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
Yeah. I'm planning to race,
but we haven't chosen our lineup yet.
**[07:03] (Flashback) Manami**
If you go, let's race.
**[07:09] Sakamichi**
*Race...*
**[07:11] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
Yeah.
**[07:12] (Flashback) Manami**
Good. That's what I hoped you'd say.
**[07:16] (Flashback) Manami**
Where should we choose?
**[07:18] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
Where?
**[07:18] (Flashback) Manami**
At Irohazaka on the first day?
**[07:21] (Flashback) Manami**
Konsei Pass is good, too.
**[07:22] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
Y-You're choosing a location for our race?
**[07:25] Sakamichi**
*You're moving too fast, Manami-kun.*
**[07:27] (Flashback) Manami**
How about Haruna?
**[07:29] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
Mt. Haruna...
***SIGN*** Day 2
**[07:31] (Flashback) Manami**
Yeah, at the end of the second day.
**[07:33] (Flashback) Manami**
It's the mountain result line.
***SIGN*** Day 2
Mountain Result Line
**[07:44] (Flashback) Manami**
Just thinking about it fires me up.
**[07:47] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
Yeah. It'll be hard, but also fun.
**[07:51] (Flashback) Manami**
By the way, weren't you going to use this?
**[07:54] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
Oh, right!
**[07:58] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
Thanks for the help. Well, I should go.
**[08:01] (Flashback) Manami**
Okay.
**[08:05] Manami**
*It was just a coincidence, but I had fun.*
**[08:08] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
U-Um...
**[08:13] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
Manami-kun, today...
**[08:17] (Flashback) Manami**
I'm thrilled.
**[08:19] (Flashback) Manami**
And I don't think this excitement
will go away until I'm on a bike.
**[08:26] (Flashback) Manami**
Let's make this coincidence
an inevitability, Sakamichi-kun.
**[08:30] (Flashback) Manami**
I'll be waiting for the moment we
meet on our bikes at the Inter-High.
**[08:35] (Flashback) Manami**
No matter the circumstances.
**[08:38] (Flashback) Manami**
It could be ten meters, or even one.
**[08:41] (Flashback) Manami**
Let's hold nothing back and race.
**[08:47] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
Yeah.
**[08:54] (Flashback) Manami**
I'm glad I chose this place to
complete my sketchbook assignment.
**[09:04] Manami**
Do you remember the promise we made that day?
**[09:06] Manami**
I'm so thrilled right now.
**[09:11] Manami**
More than any other time
over the last three days.
**[09:14] Manami**
What about you?
**[09:15] Sakamichi**
I'm the most excited I've been
over the last three days.
**[09:21] Manami**
That day's coincidence has finally
become an inevitability.
**[09:26] Sakamichi**
I wonder what has me so excited.
**[09:29] Sakamichi**
Hope? Anxiety?
**[09:32] Sakamichi**
Is it because I'm racing against Manami-kun?
**[09:34] Sakamichi**
Because the finish line is near?
**[09:41] Sakamichi**
I know. It must be all of them.
**[09:51] Fan C**
Only 1,700 meters to the finish line!
**[09:53] Fan A**
Neither one's backing down!
**[09:57] Fan B**
One of them will become the overall
champion of this Inter-High
**[10:04] Fan B**
in less than ten minutes!
**[10:07] Sakamichi**
I'm going to pass you.
**[10:09] Manami**
Good. This is intense.
**[10:12] Manami**
As it should be.
**[10:14] Manami**
As it should be.
**[10:15] Manami**
Good. This is fantastic.
**[10:19] Fan C**
Sohoku passed Hakone Academy's Manami!
**[10:23] Fan D**
They swapped places!
**[10:24] Fan D**
Sohoku's #1 is in first!
**[10:26] Fan D**
It's the Mountain King!
**[10:27] Fan C**
What's wrong with Hakone Academy?
**[10:31] Manami**
This is truly fantastic.
***SIGN*** Manami
**[10:37] Manami Fan**

He's smiling?
**[10:43] Manami**
As it should be.
**[10:45] Manami**
You're as incredible as
I hoped, Sakamichi-kun.
**[10:47] Manami**
When our race began with less than two
kilometers to go, I raised my pace.
**[10:53] Manami**
I wondered if you'd be able
to keep up, and you did.
**[10:56] Manami**
Not only that, but you passed me.
**[10:58] Manami**
I'm so eager.
**[11:00] Manami**
I'm so eager, I can't help it.
**[11:02] Manami**
I keep shifting up gears.
**[11:05] Sakamichi**
He caught up already!
**[11:07] Manami**
Isn't climbing so much fun?
**[11:09] Sakamichi**
He shifted up again.
**[11:11] Fan E**
Hakone Academy's Manami instantly
passed him while smiling!
**[11:16] Fan F**
So light, so skillful, so invigorating!
**[11:18] Fan F**
He's so strong!
**[11:19] Fan E**
That's Hakone Academy's ace climber,
Manami Sangaku the Sky Prince!
**[11:26] Sakamichi**
Manami-kun is strong, but...
**[11:30] (Flashback) Imaizumi**
Go!
**[11:31] (Flashback) Imaizumi**
Steel your resolve! Don't look back!
**[11:33] (Flashback) Imaizumi**
Be strong, Onoda Sakamichi!
**[11:37] Sakamichi**
Yeah.
**[11:38] Sakamichi**
I'm all right. I can keep going.

**[11:56] Toudou**
There's no telling what will happen
in road races until the end.
**[12:01] Toudou**
I can't believe the final battle on the
third day has come down to those two again
**[12:08] Toudou**
or that I'd meet you at the last turn
before the finish line, Maki-chan.
**[12:17] Makishima**
I can't believe you of all people
had to be here, Toudou.
**[12:20] Makishima**
I can't get rid of you.
**[12:21] Toudou**
It was fate that brought us together.
**[12:26] Makishima**
But we just met last night.
**[12:29] Toudou**
Do you believe in fate, Maki-chan?
**[12:32] Makishima**
What?
**[12:32] Toudou**
Naturally, I do.
**[12:35] Makishima**
Hey...
**[12:35] Toudou**
I believe my fate's tied to yours, Maki-chan.
**[12:38] Makishima**
Let me speak.
***SIGN*** Here
***SIGN*** One Turn Earlier
**[12:40] Makishima**
The highlight of any race will happen at the
finish line, right here, or one turn earlier.
**[12:47] Makishima**
We had one-in-three odds of meeting.
It's not a big deal.
**[12:52] Toudou**
Normally you're in England, but right now,
you're in the mountains of Japan
**[12:56] Toudou**
watching a road race right next to me.
**[13:00] Toudou**
That alone makes it a big deal, Maki-chan.
**[13:05] Makishima**
What a warm welcome.
**[13:06] Toudou**
Of course.
**[13:08] Toudou**
Not only that, but the battle that will
determine the outcome of the Inter-High
**[13:12] Toudou**
is between the four-eyes you trained and
Manami Sangaku, who I put my trust in.
**[13:20] Toudou**
What is fate if not this?
**[13:23] Makishima**
I wouldn't say I trained him.
**[13:26] Toudou**
Two climbers joined our
teams two years after us.
**[13:31] Toudou**
The two of them met and fought one another.
**[13:33] Toudou**
They caught each other's attention
and were drawn together.
**[13:35] Toudou**
They're just like us, don't you think?
**[13:38] Makishima**
Are they?
**[13:39] Toudou**
Not only that, but their riding
styles are complete opposites.
**[13:42] Makishima**
I guess...
**[13:43] Toudou**
They're almost here. They'll be
here in less than ten minutes.
**[13:47] Toudou**
It's a mere ten minutes, but for them
**[13:52] Toudou**
it'll feel like an eternity.
**[13:56] Makishima**
Yeah, it's an eternity.
**[14:00] Makishima**
Burdened with responsibility,
**[14:03] Makishima**
they'll give all their strength to risk it all.
**[14:05] Makishima**
Only those riding understand what it's like.
**[14:09] Toudou**
And since they missed
their chance to determine
**[14:14] Toudou**
a King of the Mountains on
Mt. Haruna on the second day,
**[14:16] Toudou**
this battle will decide
who claims that title.
**[14:18] Makishima**
Yeah, that's just in your head.
**[14:23] Toudou**
No, that title can only be awarded to the
winner of a race between the two of them.
**[14:29] Toudou**
Let's see this historical
event through together.
**[14:34] Makishima**
Sure.
**[14:35] Makishima**
I owe Onoda for watching our race yesterday.
**[14:44] Toudou**
Yeah.
**[14:46] Toudou**
Go, Manami.
**[14:48] Toudou**
Be free. To the peak.
**[14:50] Makishima**
Onoda, Toudou says I trained you.
**[14:56] Makishima**
But did I really?
**[14:58] Makishima**
All I did was ride ahead of you without a word.
**[15:02] (Flashback) Makishima**
I can only speak through my riding.
**[15:08] (Flashback) Makishima**
After all, if you're fastest
at your own style...
**[15:11] (Flashback) Makishima**
nothing's cooler than that.
**[15:15] Makishima**
But you always kept up,
and when I looked back...
**[15:21] Makishima**
you were always happily smiling.
**[15:28] Makishima**
Come, Sakamichi.
**[15:31] Makishima**
Don't flinch. Don't be afraid.
**[15:33] Makishima**
It's all right. I'm watching.
**[15:36] Makishima**
So turn your pedals as hard as you can.
**[15:47] Manami**
Go!
**[15:51] Manami**
Can you keep up, Sakamichi-kun?
**[15:58] Manami**
Good. It wouldn't be fun if it were too easy.
**[16:02] Manami**
As it should be.
**[16:04] Manami**
We wouldn't feel alive if we
acquired things too easily.
**[16:10] Sakamichi**
Manami-kun's pressure rose again.
**[16:14] Manami**
We're right on the edge.
**[16:17] Manami**
We're in the very final stages of the race.
**[16:19] Manami**
We're already above 2,000 meters
of elevation and the air is thin.
**[16:22] Manami**
I'm out of breath. My heart rate is rising.
**[16:25] Manami**
My body is screaming.
**[16:27] Manami**
And I have an opponent to race against.
**[16:30] Sakamichi**
He accelerated again.
**[16:31] Manami**
But that's always true.
**[16:33] Manami**
It's when we're right on the edge of our
limits and closest to death that we feel it.
**[16:42] Manami**
I am alive.
**[16:43] Manami**
I'll raise my heart rate even higher.
**[16:45] Manami**
To the limit.
**[16:46] Manami**
Go!
**[16:49] Sakamichi**
He's accelerating again.
**[16:51] Fan**
Sohoku's sticking to Hakone Academy!
**[16:54] Fan**
No, look closely! He's doing his best to
keep up, but he's slowly falling behind!
**[16:58] Sakamichi**
I'm slowing down.
**[17:02] Sakamichi**
I'm struggling. The air is thin.
**[17:04] Sakamichi**
No matter how much I inhale,
it doesn't feel like enough.
**[17:07] Sakamichi**
My fingertips are going numb.

At that elevation, the air will be thin.
**[17:23] (Flashback) Teshima**
You'll hardly do anything
and you'll be out of breath.
**[17:26] (Flashback) Teshima**
If you end up in an all-out battle up there,
your body will be screaming.

Your limbs will go numb,

He's a tough opponent.
**[19:01] Manami**
It's thrilling.
**[19:02] Sakamichi**
I've got a small lead.
**[19:04] Sakamichi**
Are things going my way?
**[19:07] Sakamichi**
I should maintain this pace.
**[19:12] Manami**
He's fast. His pace is incredible.
**[19:14] Manami**
He was struggling until a
moment ago, but he recovered.
**[19:19] Manami**
He's far stronger than he was last year.
**[19:23] Manami**
After achieving victory once,
everyone relaxes mentally and physically.
**[19:31] Manami**
Not only that, but the Inter-High
only happens once a year.
**[19:34] Manami**
They lose the drive to continue
their long, hard training
**[19:37] Manami**
to prepare for the next one.
**[19:40] Manami**
They say a champion can't win.
**[19:43] Manami**
The fulfillment of winning a major title
makes champions lose their motivation.
**[19:48] Manami**
The jinx makes them unmotivated and unable
to seize opportunities during the race.
**[19:54] Manami**
But you're riding ahead of me now
**[19:58] Manami**
before the finish line at the Inter-High,
**[20:00] Manami**
boldly wearing your #1 tag.
**[20:03] Manami**
How did you motivate yourself over
the past year? Did you do it alone?
**[20:07] Manami**
No, that's not right.
**[20:15] Manami**
It's probably because you had teammates.
**[20:17] Manami**
Come to think of it, you said
the same thing that day in May.
**[20:21] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
What? Me, the ace on the third and final day?
**[20:24] (Flashback) Manami**
Yeah, I figured you might be.
**[20:27] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
No, no, no. I can't do that.
**[20:30] (Flashback) Manami**
You can't?
**[20:31] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
Sohoku's goal is winning, of course.
**[20:36] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
But, um...
**[20:38] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
I'm just hoping someone on my team wins.
**[20:42] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
It'd be nice if I could help them do it.
**[20:48] Manami**
So that's what that meant.
**[20:50] Manami**
You got stronger by helping
your teammates win.
**[20:56] Manami**
You're riding powerfully on the

We've entered the final climb, Manami.
**[21:46] (Flashback) Kuroda**
We're almost there. Sohoku should
be coming into view soon.
**[21:50] (Flashback) Kuroda**
Until then, stay out of the wind
and preserve your strength.
**[21:54] (Flashback) Kuroda**
Don't go until I tell you to.
**[21:56] (Flashback) Manami**
Sure, but you're nearly at your limit.
**[22:01] (Flashback) Manami**
The injury you suffered falling before
the finish line on the first day...
**[22:05] (Flashback) Manami**
It hasn't healed yet.
It hurts pretty bad, doesn't it?
**[22:10] (Flashback) Kuroda**
You noticed?
**[22:12] (Flashback) Manami**
You've been avoiding pedaling
too hard with your right knee.
**[22:17] (Flashback) Kuroda**
There's nothing I can do about that.
**[22:20] (Flashback) Kuroda**
I decided I'd get you there.
**[22:25] (Flashback) Kuroda**
And I've never been able to tolerate
things not going as planned.
**[22:32] (Flashback) Kuroda**
I'm a proud elite athlete.
**[22:35] (Flashback) Kuroda**
But I know there's a price I have
to pay for things to go as planned.
**[22:41] (Flashback) Kuroda**
I'm determined to make this long shot work.
**[22:43] (Flashback) Kuroda**
Of course, there will be a little pain.
**[22:46] Manami**
*It must hurt even more than I thought.*
**[22:50] Manami**
*Could it be?*
**[22:51] (Flashback) Manami**
On second thought, let's switch.
**[22:52] (Flashback) Kuroda**
Not yet.
**[22:53] (Flashback) Kuroda**
Manami, hang tight.
**[22:56] (Flashback) Kuroda**
I told you. I'll pull until
we catch up to Hakone Academy.
**[23:01] (Flashback) Kuroda**
Right now your job is to wait.
**[23:04] (Flashback) Kuroda**
Just shut up and follow me.
**[23:07] (Flashback) Kuroda**
I promise I'll get you there.
**[23:10] (Flashback) Manami**
Kuroda-san...
**[23:12] (Flashback) Kuroda**
Are you bored, though?
**[23:13] (Flashback) Kuroda**
In that case, let's reminisce about the past.

**[00:01] Kuroda**
Manami, hang tight.
**[00:03] Kuroda**
I told you. I'll pull until
we catch up to Sohoku.
**[00:08] Kuroda**
Right now your job is to wait.
**[00:12] Kuroda**
Just shut up and follow me.
**[00:14] Kuroda**
I promise I'll get you there.
**[00:17] Manami**
Kuroda-san...
**[00:19] Kuroda**
Are you bored, though?
**[00:21] Kuroda**
In that case, let's reminisce about the past.
**[00:26] Kuroda**
Last year, in one intra-squad tournament
to determine our Inter-High lineup,
**[00:32] Kuroda**
I lost to you.
**[00:35] Kuroda**
I was depressed.
**[00:37] Kuroda**
I had no place to vent
my frustration and rage.
**[00:39] Kuroda**
My head was a mess because I didn't
understand my own feelings.
**[00:47] Kuroda**
I couldn't even speak to you.
***SIGN*** Yowamushi Pedal
***SIGN*** Switches and Humming
**[02:29] Hakone A**
It's not fair how fast Manami
is despite being so easygoing.
**[02:33] (Flashback) Hakone B**
Honestly, it's impossible to hate him, too.
**[02:36] (Flashback) Hakone C**
He's like a new generation of climber.
**[02:40] (Flashback) Hakone A**
Yeah.
**[02:42] Kuroda**
Every time someone praised you,
I became enraged
**[02:48] Kuroda**
because I believed I'd be the one who'd
make a name for himself at the Inter-High.
**[02:55] Kuroda**
* I really don't get to race*
* at this year's Inter-High?*
**[03:01] Kuroda**
Until then, I'd been the best
at everything I did.
**[03:05] Kuroda**
That may have been the moment
my pride truly came crashing down.
**[03:10] (Flashback) Kuroda**
Damn it!
**[03:13] Kuroda**
But time gradually smoothed
over my emotions.
**[03:18] Kuroda**
By the time the Inter-High started,
**[03:20] Kuroda**
I was thinking about what I needed
to do to participate next year.
**[03:27] Kuroda**
*Luck's not enough to race.*
**[03:28] Kuroda**
* And on top of that, people think*
* of this team as champions.*
**[03:31] Kuroda**
* Ultimately, I was naïve.*
* I wasn't good enough.*
**[03:36] Kuroda**
*I've just gotta do it.*
**[03:38] Kuroda**
But I'd heard a rumor...
***SIGN*** Hakone Academy Bicycle Racing Club
**[03:42] (Flashback) Arakita**
No matter how you look at it,
Kuroda should wear #6.
**[03:45] (Flashback) Arakita**
He actually makes some sense,
and he climbs well during practice.
**[03:48] (Flashback) Arakita**
Manami's just a first-year.
**[03:50] (Flashback) Arakita**
It's too soon.
**[03:53] Kuroda**
When I heard Arakita-san wanted
me instead of Manami to wear #6,
**[03:59] Kuroda**
it made me really happy.
**[04:01] Kuroda**
*That's my one ray of hope.*
**[04:04] Kuroda**
*Thank you, Arakita-san.*
**[04:08] Kuroda**
But shortly after,
I'd witness a shocking truth.
**[04:14] Kuroda**
On the final day of last year's Inter-High...
**[04:16] (Flashback) Kuroda**
What? You can't be serious.
***SIGN*** Hakone
Academy
**[04:19] (Flashback) Kuroda**
This must be a joke.
**[04:23] (Flashback) Kuroda**
Hakone Academy lost.
**[04:28] (Flashback) Team**
Good work!
**[04:31] (Flashback) Hakone A**
Good work!
**[04:33] Kuroda**
*This was the only outcome I hadn't expected.*
**[04:37] Kuroda**
*And I never imagined...*
**[04:42] Kuroda**
*that I'd see this man lose.*
**[04:46] (Flashback) Arakita**
Quit crying about every little thing.
**[04:48] (Flashback) Team**
Good work!
**[04:50] Kuroda**
*Arakita-san is someone who gets things done.*
**[04:52] Kuroda**
* He had a terrible attitude and a mouth*
* to match, but his skills were top class.*
**[04:57] Kuroda**
* He saw through my elite mindset and taught*
* me that efficiency wasn't enough to win.*
**[05:04] Kuroda**
*He was the only man I'd ever bowed to.*
**[05:08] Kuroda**
* I assumed it was a forgone conclusion*
* that he'd win the Inter-High...*
**[05:13] (Flashback) Arakita**
Of course we won.
**[05:15] Kuroda**
*...is what I thought he'd say.*
**[05:21] Kuroda**
* I can't say a word.*
* There's nothing I can say to him.*
**[05:31] (Flashback) Arakita**
Kuroda!
**[05:32] (Flashback) Arakita**
Don't you have something to say to me?
**[05:35] (Flashback) Arakita**
Your senior's back from a race,
and you're ignoring him?
**[05:38] (Flashback) Kuroda**
Y-Yes, sir. I'm so—I mean, uh...
**[05:43] (Flashback) Kuroda**
I couldn't find the words to—
**[05:46] (Flashback) Arakita**
No excuses!
**[05:49] (Flashback) Arakita**
Don't make excuses.
**[05:52] (Flashback) Arakita**
You don't get to make excuses anymore.
**[05:55] (Flashback) Arakita**
You've gotta do what you gotta
do when you gotta do it.
**[05:59] (Flashback) Arakita**
You only get one chance.
**[06:02] (Flashback) Arakita**
No matter what happens,
don't let it get away from you.
**[06:05] (Flashback) Arakita**
No matter what they do
or what's done to them,
**[06:08] (Flashback) Arakita**
there's no room for losers to spout excuses.
**[06:14] (Flashback) Arakita**
Doesn't matter whether it's
big stuff or small stuff.
**[06:21] (Flashback) Arakita**
Kuroda, I'm counting on you next year.
**[06:28] (Flashback) Kuroda**
Yes, sir!
**[06:31] (Flashback) Kuroda**
Good work, sir!
**[06:34] (Flashback) Arakita**
Quit shouting, dumbass.
**[06:38] Kuroda**
At some point, I'd started crying.
**[06:41] Kuroda**
That's when I realized the man I used to
hate had become someone I looked up to.
**[06:51] Kuroda**
*I'll do it.*
**[06:54] Kuroda**
*Next year, I'll do it, Arakita-san.*
**[06:59] Kuroda**
*I'll restore Hakone Academy to the throne.*
**[07:04] (Flashback) Fukutomi**
The next captain of Hakone Academy
is Izumida Touichirou.
**[07:10] (Flashback) Fukutomi**
The vice captain is climber and
second-year Kuroda Yukinari.
**[07:16] Kuroda**
Summer ended, and the torch was passed.
**[07:20] Kuroda**
The third-years who used to be a
constant presence in the team room
**[07:23] Kuroda**
were rarely seen anymore.
**[07:27] Kuroda**
Captain Izumida's strengthening
program was simple.
**[07:31] Kuroda**
We'd practice adequately
and enter more races.
**[07:35] Kuroda**
We participated in races we'd skipped before.
**[07:40] Kuroda**
It happened during one such race
near the end of the season.
**[07:45] (Flashback) Fan A**
Wow, it's Hakone Academy!
**[07:47] (Flashback) Fan B**
They've got team jerseys!
**[07:49] (Flashback) Shinozaki**
Should I be wearing this jersey?
**[07:51] (Flashback) Kuroda**
Shino, you're an Inter-High candidate, too.
**[07:55] (Flashback) Kuroda**
In this race, I'll be your workhorse.
**[07:57] (Flashback) Kuroda**
I'll shut down and control
anyone who tries to get ahead.
**[08:00] (Flashback) Kuroda**
Either you or Touichirou
will take the finish line.
**[08:03] (Flashback) Kuroda**
However...
**[08:04] (Flashback) Kuroda**
Victory is a prerequisite.
**[08:07] (Flashback) Kuroda**
While we're wearing these jerseys,
we're not allowed to lose.
**[08:10] (Flashback) Rider A**
Someone's leaving the pack!
**[08:11] (Flashback) Rider B**
They're using the climb to attack!
**[08:14] (Flashback) Kuroda**
I'm going to crush them, Touichirou.
**[08:16] (Flashback) Izumida**
I'm counting on you, Yuki.
**[08:19] Kuroda**
Hardly anyone notable was participating
in that dull little race.
**[08:24] Kuroda**
But Touichirou and I raced in earnest.
**[08:28] Kuroda**
We swore to each other that we'd
achieve total victory in every race.
**[08:35] (Flashback) Kuroda**
We'll show no overconfidence.
**[08:37] (Flashback) Kuroda**
When we race, we go all-out.
**[08:41] (Flashback) Kuroda**
We're fighting a battle
we're never allowed to lose.
**[08:45] (Flashback) Rider C**
It's Hakone Academy!
**[08:46] (Flashback) Rider D**
He already caught up!
**[08:47] (Flashback) Rider C**
This race doesn't matter to Hakone Academy.
**[08:51] (Flashback) Rider C**
Let us go this time.
**[08:52] (Flashback) Kuroda**
Sorry, but I can't do that.
**[08:53] (Flashback) Both**
What?
**[08:54] (Flashback) Rider E**
Come on. What's wrong with you guys?
**[08:58] (Flashback) Kuroda**
Huh?
**[08:59] (Flashback) Rider E**
Quit going on about Hakone Academy.
He's just another second-year racer like us.
**[09:04] (Flashback) Rider E**
What I'm trying to say is...
**[09:07] (Flashback) Rider E**
Don't get ahead of yourself, Hakone Academy!
**[09:09] (Flashback) Rider E**
You lost at the Inter-High!
**[09:11] (Flashback) Kuroda**
What?
**[09:12] (Flashback) Rider C**
Don't make him angry.
**[09:13] (Flashback) Rider D**
You'll ruin our chances of winning.
**[09:16] (Flashback) Rider E**
It's the truth. These guys lost
to a first-year of all people.
**[09:20] (Flashback) Rider E**
This year's lineup must've
been really pathetic,
**[09:23] (Flashback) Rider E**
especially the third-years.
**[09:25] (Flashback) Rider E**
Fukutomi? Shinkai? Toudou?
**[09:28] (Flashback) Rider E**
Was there someone named Arakita, too?
**[09:30] (Flashback) Kuroda**
Hey, asshole.
**[09:33] (Flashback) Rider E**
You're resorting to violence?
**[09:35] (Flashback) Rider E**
Hakone Academy guys are scary.
**[09:37] (Flashback) Kuroda**
Take it back.
**[09:39] (Flashback) Kuroda**
You can speak the truth,
but that last bit was wrong.
**[09:43] (Flashback) Kuroda**
Take it back.
**[09:45] (Flashback) Kuroda**
The third-years were strong.
**[09:47] (Flashback) Kuroda**
They were far better than you can imagine.
**[09:51] (Flashback) Rider E**
You're the one who grabbed
me first. No hard feelings.
**[09:57] (Flashback) Rider E**
Oh, no. My handlebars hit him.
**[10:01] Kuroda**
*This jerk did that on purpose.*
**[10:03] (Flashback) Rider E**
Two years ago in middle school,
I was the captain of my basketball team.
**[10:10] (Flashback) Rider E**
I lost because of Kuroda-kun
the last-minute substitute.
**[10:14] (Flashback) Rider E**
My elbow still hurts.
**[10:17] (Flashback) Rider E**
I doubt you remember, but do
you know what you said then?
**[10:23] (Flashback) Rider E**
"You're so clumsy."
**[10:31] (Flashback) Rider E**
Pick up the pace. We're holding this
lead all the way to the finish line.
**[10:35] (Flashback) Rider C**
O-Okay.
**[10:37] Kuroda**
After striking the ground,
I didn't move for a while.
**[10:43] Kuroda**
I stayed there for about 30 seconds.
**[10:47] Kuroda**
Even if I'd stayed down, either Touichirou
or Shino would probably win the race.
**[10:52] Kuroda**
As far as the team was concerned,
there was no problem.
**[10:54] Kuroda**
I could report his dangerous behavior later.
**[10:59] Kuroda**
The thought crossed my mind.
**[11:02] Kuroda**
*But I...*
**[11:05] Kuroda**
*Sorry, but I'm Kuroda Yukinari.*
**[11:08] Kuroda**
* I'm not so serene that I'll stay*
* down after someone mocks Hakone Academy.*
**[11:16] Kuroda**
*You just wait, jerk. You're not getting away.*
**[11:19] Kuroda**
*I'll catch you.*
**[11:23] Kuroda**
*I'll make you apologize for what you said.*
**[11:28] (Flashback) Rider C**
Is Kuroda-kun okay?
**[11:30] (Flashback) Rider D**
Should we go back and apologize?
**[11:33] (Flashback) Rider E**
What are you talking about?
Don't be so noncommittal.
**[11:35] (Flashback) Rider E**
This is a race. In other words, a battle.
**[11:38] (Flashback) Rider E**
Races are cutthroat survival games.
**[11:41] (Flashback) Rider E**
Only one rider wins.
**[11:42] (Flashback) Rider E**
If 80 riders race, then 79 of them lose.
**[11:45] (Flashback) Kuroda**
Those are Fukutomi-san's words.
**[11:48] (Flashback) Rider E**
Yeah, I'm surprised you knew that.
**[11:51] (Flashback) Rider E**
I quoted something Hakone Academy's
Fukutomi said a long time ago.
**[11:53] (Flashback) Rider C**
What? Did you say that?
**[11:55] (Flashback) Rider D**
No. Who said that?
**[11:59] (Flashback) Rider E**
Forget about Kuroda. He's gone.
**[12:01] (Flashback) Rider E**
He got what he deserved.
**[12:03] (Flashback) Rider E**
He elbowed me and called me clumsy.
**[12:07] (Flashback) Kuroda**
Sorry about that. I apologize.
**[12:10] (Flashback) Kuroda**
That was the old me.
**[12:11] (Flashback) Kuroda**
Honestly, it sounds like something I'd say.
**[12:14] (Flashback) Rider E**
What?!
**[12:16] (Flashback) Kuroda**
But we're in the present now. Let's play fair.
**[12:20] (Flashback) Rider E**
He caught up alone after getting injured?
**[12:24] (Flashback) Kuroda**
Apologize. Then I'll forget what you did.
**[12:29] (Flashback) Rider E**
S-Sorry for pushing you?
**[12:33] (Flashback) Kuroda**
No, not that. Before that.
**[12:37] (Flashback) Kuroda**
For mocking Hakone Academy.
**[12:41] Announce**
* Kuroda Yukinari has won*
* the sprint to the finish!*
**[12:44] Announce**
*Hakone Academy wins!*
**[12:48] Kuroda**
* I'm suffering from a bit of blood loss,*
* but the lack of blood kept me calm.*
**[12:55] Kuroda**
*It's actually pretty all right.*
**[12:58] (Flashback) Hakone A**
Kuroda-san!
**[12:59] (Flashback) Hakone B**
Are you all right?
**[13:00] (Flashback) Hakone C**
Kuroda-san!
**[13:02] Rider E**
*Hakone Academy is incredible.*
**[13:08] Kuroda**
That event was the origin of
what I call my switch now.
**[13:13] Kuroda**
I looked up to my seniors and
Hakone Academy itself, too.
**[13:19] Kuroda**
They're all strong.
**[13:21] Kuroda**
Fukutomi-san, Shinkai-san, Toudou-san,
and Arakita-san are beyond our reach.
**[13:27] Kuroda**
They're gods.
**[13:29] Kuroda**
But last year, they still didn't win.
**[13:33] Kuroda**
So it's up to us to prove ourselves now that
we've been entrusted with the team.
**[13:39] Manami**
Kuroda-san...
**[13:41] Kuroda**
It's our pride that allows us
to continue being champions.
**[13:46] Kuroda**
The Sohoku lead riders will
be coming into view soon.
**[13:48] Kuroda**
You think "my injury hurts" or "my wound stings"
are adequate excuses, Manami?
**[13:56] Manami**
But he injured himself trying
to win the first day.
**[14:00] Manami**
Wouldn't that be a good enough reason?
**[14:03] (Flashback) Arakita**
Don't make excuses.
**[14:06] Kuroda**
You're right, Arakita-san. We have to win.
**[14:09] Kuroda**
There's no point if we don't win.
**[14:13] Manami**
He activated his switch.
He's accelerating again in his condition?
**[14:17] Manami**
That's what it means to be Hakone Academy.
**[14:20] Kuroda**
Let's go, Manami!
**[14:22] Kuroda**
Let's catch up to Sohoku!
**[14:24] Manami**
Yes, sir!
**[14:25] Kuroda**
Flex, cat legs.
**[14:27] Kuroda**
My injury still hurts, but my legs
had better not stop moving now.
**[14:34] Kuroda**
I see Sohoku!
**[14:38] Kuroda**
Sorry for dumping everything on
you at the end again, Manami.
**[14:44] Manami**
It's fine. I don't mind.
**[14:47] Kuroda**
You've grown. You truly are dependable.
**[14:55] Kuroda**
Go on. You can go now.
**[14:58] Kuroda**
There's nothing left for me to do.
**[15:01] Kuroda**
All that's left is to watch
you fly up into the sky.
**[15:06] Kuroda**
Fly. Don't worry about what's behind you.
**[15:10] Kuroda**
Fly your way. Ride freely.
**[15:14] Kuroda**
But if I can ask you for one
last thing before the end,
**[15:20] Kuroda**
make me say my first and last
Inter-High in my third year
**[15:30] Kuroda**
ended the best way possible!
**[15:32] Kuroda**
Yes, sir!
**[15:39] Manami**
Kuroda-san, thank you.
**[15:42] Manami**
We're 1,400 meters from the finish line.
**[15:47] Manami**
It's time to fly.

The lead riders are here!
**[16:01] Fan E**
Sohoku's in front! He pulled
ahead of Hakone Academy!
**[16:04] Fan E**
He's 20—no, 30 meters ahead!
**[16:09] Sakamichi**
I'm in the lead. I'm currently
closest to the finish line.
**[16:16] Sakamichi**
What's this?
**[16:17] Sakamichi**
The moment I started thinking about
the finish line, I became nervous.
**[16:21] Sakamichi**
My head feels fuzzy. My legs feel slow.
**[16:26] Sakamichi**
I'm thinking about being in front?
About the finish line?
**[16:30] Sakamichi**
No, don't. It's not over yet.
**[16:33] Sakamichi**
Don't. Calm down.
**[16:35] Sakamichi**
Calm down, calm down.
**[16:38] (Flashback) Imaizumi**
Go!
**[16:40] (Flashback) Imaizumi**
Steel your resolve! Don't look back!

Be strong, Onoda Sakamichi!
**[16:51] Sakamichi**
Be strong.
**[16:54] Fan F**
The Mountain King is dancing!
**[16:57] Fan G**
He's so small, but so intense!
**[17:01] Manami**
He recovered again.
**[17:02] Manami**
His mind wavered for a moment.
It disrupted his pace.
**[17:08] Manami**
He's being overwhelmed by the
pressure of riding at the front.
**[17:13] Manami**
You have an advantage riding at the front,
**[17:14] Manami**
but it's not as though you have no enemies.
**[17:17] Manami**
The moment you realize you might win
while riding alone and focus on victory,
**[17:23] Manami**
the fear of making a mistake
becomes too strong,
**[17:27] Manami**
and you make mistakes
you normally wouldn't.
**[17:33] Manami**
That pressure comes from something small.
**[17:37] Manami**
It enters the smallest of gaps in your mind.
**[17:40] Manami**
The bigger the title, the more
you feel like you have to win,
**[17:46] Manami**
and the more it sneaks through
gaps to take over your mind
**[17:49] Manami**
and paralyze your body.
**[17:52] Manami**
You become your own enemy.
**[17:54] Manami**
You panic as you try to
move your immobile body
**[17:57] Manami**
and become unable to move as you normally do.
**[18:01] Manami**
People call it the swamp before victory.
**[18:05] Manami**
But you just pushed it aside.
**[18:08] Manami**
You grabbed your handlebars and
stopped your hands from shaking.
**[18:11] Manami**
You wiped it away by dancing
with all your might.
**[18:18] Sakamichi**
I've calmed down.
**[18:20] Sakamichi**
I'm okay. I'm all right.
**[18:23] Sakamichi**
I can keep going.
**[18:24] Sakamichi**
I'll keep going.
**[18:28] Manami**
He's returned to his earlier pace.
**[18:30] Manami**
You're amazing, Sakamichi-kun.
**[18:36] Manami**
Despite saying you couldn't do anything alone,
**[18:39] Manami**
you're strong when others
are depending on you.
**[18:41] Fan H**
1,300 meters to go!
**[18:43] Fan I**
Keep going, Mountain King!
**[18:45] Fans**
Mountain King! Mountain King! Mountain King!
**[18:52] Manami**
The wind's picking up.
**[18:55] Manami**
You're strong, but unfortunately,
your steady advance is about to end.
**[19:01] Manami**
Once we're through the next turn,
the crosswind blowing across these highlands...
**[19:09] Manami**
will become a tailwind.
**[19:13] Manami**
Too slow. Go!
**[19:18] Sakamichi**
Manami-kun...
**[19:20] Sakamichi**
It's a good thing you noticed,
but you were a little too late.
**[19:24] Sakamichi**
This time I'll be going ahead, Sakamichi-kun.
**[19:28] Fan J**
Hakone Academy instantly passed Sohoku!
**[19:30] Fan K**
Seriously? Using that gust?
**[19:33] Fan L**
He read the direction of the wind!
**[19:35] Fan M**
That's Manami Sangaku, the Sky Prince!
**[19:39] Fan M**
With 1,200 meters to go,
Hakone Academy is in the lead!
**[19:43] Manami**
Are you keeping up, Sakamichi-kun?
**[19:46] Manami**
In the hill climbs I've raced in until now,
**[19:49] Manami**
when I accelerate like this
before the finish line,
**[19:51] Manami**
most of my opponents hang
their heads and slow down.
**[19:54] Manami**
But what about you?
**[19:58] Fan**
Don't give up!
**[20:00] Fan**
What's wrong, Mountain King?
**[20:02] Fan**
Raise your head!
**[20:03] Sakamichi**
It's no use.
**[20:05] Sakamichi**
He's strong. Manami-kun is incredible.
**[20:10] Fan N**
You've got this! He's pulling way ahead!
**[20:13] Fan O**
No, wait. The Mountain King
is saying something.
**[20:18] Sakamichi**
Lovely chance pancake girl...
**[20:23] Fan N**
What? Something about a chance?
**[20:27] Fan N**
No...
**[20:28] Sakamichi**
Even with a spell to make you bigger,
**[20:31] Fan N**
It's got a rhythm.
**[20:34] Sakamichi**
you're still my princess!
**[20:37] Sakamichi**
You are who you are!
**[20:40] Fan N**
He's singing.
**[20:44] Sakamichi**
It's no use.
**[20:45] Sakamichi**
Even though he passed me, watching
Manami-kun's incredible riding makes
**[20:50] Sakamichi**
"Love Hime-Hime Pancake Girl"
is playing endlessly in my head.
**[20:55] Sakamichi**
Princess, Princess!
**[20:57] Sakamichi**
Princess! I love, love, love you!
**[20:59] Sakamichi**
Princess! Princess!
**[21:00] Sakamichi**
Twinkle, twinkle!
**[21:02] Fan O**
I've heard about this.
**[21:04] Fan O**
When Sohoku's Mountain King starts singing
during races, his cadence increases.
**[21:10] Fan O**
It makes him faster.
**[21:11] Fan N**
What?!
**[21:12] Sakamichi**
You're still my princess!
**[21:16] Sakamichi**
You are who you are!
**[21:19] Manami**
He's closing in right behind me?
While smiling, no less?
**[21:26] Manami**
Amazing.
**[21:27] Manami**
I haven't felt this in a while.
**[21:31] Manami**
You're making this thrilling, aren't you?
**[21:33] Manami**
You truly are special.
**[21:35] Fan P**
Hakone Academy accelerated again!
**[21:37] Fan Q**
He's away from Sohoku!
**[21:40] Sakamichi**
His acceleration is incredible.
**[21:42] Sakamichi**
Manami-kun is so skilled.
**[21:45] Sakamichi**
Even with a spell to make you bigger,
**[21:50] Sakamichi**
you're still my princess!
**[21:52] Sakamichi**
You are who you are!
**[21:56] Sakamichi**
Manami-kun, you're amazing.
You're so amazing, Manami-kun.
**[22:01] Manami**
So are you.
**[22:04] Fan R**
The Mountain King caught up to Manami!
**[22:06] Fan S**
Wh-What's with this battle? It's crazy!
**[22:10] Fan T**
Neither one's giving any ground!
**[22:14] Manami**
I see it.
**[22:16] Manami**
The red upside-down triangle
flag with the number one.
**[22:20] Manami**
It means we're one kilometer
from the finish line.
**[22:23] Manami**
Let's settle this.
**[22:26] Manami**
The finish line is one kilometer ahead of us.
**[22:32] Manami**
I wonder why?
**[22:35] Manami**
Looking at Sakamichi-kun reminds of the
person who gave me that hat the other night.
**[22:47] Class Rep**
The sun's so strong in the mountains.
**[22:51] Class Rep**
I'm pretty sure I have a hat in my bag...
**[22:53] Class Rep**
Here it is.
**[22:55] Class Rep**
I'm borrowing this, Sangaku.
**[22:58] Class Rep**
I can't believe his taste. "Best Boy"?
**[23:02] Sakamichi Mom**
Oh, my. My, my, my.
**[23:04] Class Rep**
Huh?
**[23:05] Sakamichi Mom**
Where did you get that hat?
**[23:07] Sakamichi Mom**
What a wonderful hat.
**[23:10] Class Rep**
Who, me?
**[23:13] Sakamichi Mom**
Oh, my. You're that student.
**[23:17] Class Rep**
Ma'am!

**[00:04] Sakamichi Mom**
My, my, my...
**[00:06] Sakamichi Mom**
What a coincidence. It's you again.
**[00:08] Class Rep**
Hello. It's been a year since—
**[00:12] Sakamichi Mom**
It's been a year since I last saw you.
**[00:13] Class Rep**
Uh, yes.
**[00:15] Sakamichi Mom**
How do you think I recognized you?
**[00:17] Class Rep**
Huh? Say what?
**[00:19] Sakamichi Mom**
Pop quiz. No hints.
**[00:21] Class Rep**
What? A quiz?
**[00:23] Sakamichi Mom**
The answer is that hat.
**[00:25] Class Rep**
You're already telling me the answer?
**[00:26] Sakamichi Mom**
I gave that hat...
**[00:31] Sakamichi Mom**
to a considerate student as a gift.
**[00:36] Sakamichi Mom**
Oh, right. I remember now.
**[00:39] Sakamichi Mom**
You were cheering for him a year ago.
**[00:42] Sakamichi Mom**
That boy riding ahead of Sakamichi.
**[00:45] Class Rep**
What? Sangaku?
**[00:49] Sakamichi Mom**
Have you started dating yet?
**[00:52] Class Rep**
What? No. No, no!
**[00:53] Class Rep**
Wh-Why are you talking about dating?
**[00:55] Class Rep**
Not yet. I m-mean...
**[00:57] Sakamichi Mom**
Even though a whole year has passed?
**[01:01] Class Rep**
I-I-It's n-n-not like that. I just...
**[01:04] Sakamichi Mom**
You're young. Why don't you go for it?
**[01:06] Sakamichi Mom**
He seems like such a nice young man.
**[01:09] Class Rep**
You're not wrong about that.
**[01:10] Sakamichi Mom**
Don't you like him?
**[01:12] Class Rep**
What? Uh, I never I said I liked him.
**[01:16] Sakamichi Mom**
It's obvious from your attitude that you do.
**[01:19] Class Rep**
F-For now, I'm just cheering for him.
**[01:24] Class Rep**
Sangaku's preoccupied
with cycling right now.
**[01:28] Sakamichi Mom**
It's hopeless, isn't it?
**[01:30] Class Rep**
Why do you care? It's my business.
**[01:32] Sakamichi Mom**
I mean boys.
**[01:33] Class Rep**
Huh?
**[01:36] Sakamichi Mom**
They're always preoccupied with something
even though we're worried sick about them.
**[01:42] Class Rep**
Ma'am...
**[01:46] Sakamichi Mom**
My son used to be a timid boy who couldn't
even enter tall grass by himself.
**[01:53] Sakamichi Mom**
I hoped he'd pull himself together and
be more assertive, but these days,
**[01:59] Sakamichi Mom**
when he falls during practice,
he tapes his injuries himself
**[02:03] Sakamichi Mom**
and declines my offers to help.
**[02:07] Sakamichi Mom**
When I watch him clumsily doing his best...
**[02:12] Sakamichi Mom**
I'm glad he's toughened up,
**[02:15] Sakamichi Mom**
but I'm also sad that he's drifting away.
**[02:19] Class Rep**
Oh.
**[02:20] Sakamichi Mom**
He's always telling me about how he has to
**[02:23] Sakamichi Mom**
work hard for the team and
rushing out of the house.
**[02:27] Sakamichi Mom**
He tells me stories about how
they won or how amazing it was.
**[02:34] Sakamichi Mom**
But that's not what I want from him.
**[02:37] Sakamichi Mom**
All I want is for him to make
it back home in one piece.

One kilometer...
**[04:22] Sakamichi**
...remaining!
**[04:25] Manami**
The course is narrowing.
**[04:26] Manami**
The spectators' cheers make my skin prickle.
**[04:29] Manami**
Huh?
**[04:31] Manami**
No, this is the numbness I feel when
my body's approaching its limit.
**[04:36] Manami**
I'm right on the edge.
**[04:37] Manami**
But I have to go on.
**[04:39] Sakamichi**
Everything hurts. My neck hurts.
**[04:41] Sakamichi**
My back hurts.
**[04:43] Sakamichi**
I can't feel my toes.
**[04:45] Sakamichi**
But there's just one kilometer to go.
**[04:48] Sakamichi**
I have to keep moving forward.
**[04:55] Sakamichi Mom**
Who wouldn't want to see their
own son looking valiant?
**[04:57] Sakamichi Mom**
I came so I could get a picture of it.
**[04:59] Sakamichi Mom**
But then I left my camera
in Shinohara-san's car.
**[05:03] Class Rep**
What are you going to do?
**[05:05] Sakamichi Mom**
What should I do?
**[05:07] Class Rep**
Uh, um...
**[05:09] Sakamichi Mom**
I've been calling her, but the signal's weak.

"Smartphone."
**[05:26] Sakamichi Mom**
Boop.
**[05:31] Class Rep**
I came to cheer someone on, too.
**[05:33] Class Rep**
I swore I'd cheer for Sangaku
at this year's Inter-High
**[05:38] Class Rep**
because I've been watching
him over the past year.
**[05:42] Class Rep**
Ever since that day I watched
him race up Mt. Fuji.
**[05:49] (Flashback) Class Rep**
Please win, Sangaku!
**[05:58] (Flashback) Class Rep**
The race must be over.
**[06:00] Announce**
*Goal!*
**[06:01] (Flashback) Class Rep**
Sangaku!
**[06:03] Announce**
* The first to cross the finish line*
* on the third and final day is #176...*
**[06:08] (Flashback) Class Rep**
What?
***SIGN*** Free Shuttle
**[06:13] Class Rep**
*I couldn't speak to him.*
**[06:15] Class Rep**
* I don't know much about road racing,*
* but nobody likes losing.*
**[06:21] Class Rep**
* But maybe that's all the more reason*
* why I should've said something to him.*
**[06:27] Class Rep**
*No, that would've been impertinent.*
**[06:29] Class Rep**
*But I came all the way here.*
**[06:31] Class Rep**
*What's the right answer?*
**[06:38] Class Rep**
Out of regret, three days later,
I waited for Sangaku near his house.
**[06:43] Class Rep**
* Going all the way to his*
* house would be too much.*
**[06:46] Class Rep**
*I'll pretend it was a coincidence.*
**[06:49] Class Rep**
*He always takes this route on the way home.*
**[06:53] (Flashback) Class Rep**
Sangaku, I just happened to...
**[07:00] Class Rep**
Sangaku didn't come that day.
**[07:05] Class Rep**
Or the next day,
**[07:08] Class Rep**
or the day after that.
**[07:12] Class Rep**
Two days later...
**[07:20] Class Rep**
I finally saw Sangaku.
**[07:23] (Flashback) Manami**
Hey, class rep.
**[07:33] (Flashback) Class Rep**
You even bike on rainy days, huh?
**[07:37] (Flashback) Manami**
It's nice and cool during
the summer when it rains.
**[07:40] (Flashback) Manami**
And I won't get sick even if I get rained on.
**[07:42] (Flashback) Manami**
That said, it's been a
while since I last rode.
**[07:45] (Flashback) Manami**
I finally felt like riding again.
**[07:49] Class Rep**
*A while?*
***SIGN*** Hakone Academy Private High School
**[07:51] Class Rep**
*I was under the impression he rode every day.*
**[07:54] Class Rep**
* He couldn't ride when he*
* loves his bike so much?*
**[07:58] (Flashback) Class Rep**
O-Oh, really? Huh.
**[08:01] Class Rep**
*I should change the subject.*
**[08:03] (Flashback) Class Rep**
Um...
**[08:05] Class Rep**
*"I went to see the Inter-High." No, not that.*
**[08:08] Class Rep**
* "It was close. Too bad you placed*
* second." Definitely not that.*
**[08:11] Class Rep**
*I shouldn't mention the Inter-High.*
**[08:15] (Flashback) Class Rep**
I know. Have you done your summer work...
**[08:18] (Flashback) Manami**
You came to the Inter-High.
**[08:21] (Flashback) Class Rep**
...sheets?
**[08:22] (Flashback) Manami**
I heard you.
**[08:25] (Flashback) Manami**
Thanks.
**[08:28] (Flashback) Class Rep**
You're welcome. I'm surprised
you could hear me.
**[08:33] (Flashback) Manami**
Yeah. I could hear everyone's voices
and my teammates' cheers of "go,"
**[08:41] (Flashback) Manami**
"You can do it," and "Manami!"
**[08:44] (Flashback) Manami**
But I couldn't answer them.
**[08:49] (Flashback) Manami**
I had to answer them. I'm an idiot.
**[08:54] (Flashback) Manami**
I finally understand the weight of what
Fukutomi-san, Arakita-san, Toudou-san,
**[09:00] (Flashback) Manami**
Shinkai-san, and Izumida-san
were trying to do after I lost.
**[09:14] (Flashback) Class Rep**
Cheer up. This isn't like you.
**[09:17] (Flashback) Class Rep**
You forget everything, from your
homework to your worksheets.
**[09:22] (Flashback) Class Rep**
Just forget about all that unpleasantness.
**[09:26] (Flashback) Manami**
Thanks, class rep. But I can't cheer up.
**[09:33] (Flashback) Manami**
I've cried so many times since
the race, but nothing changes.
**[09:44] (Flashback) Manami**
My senior Toudou-san told me something.
**[09:48] (Flashback) Toudou**
It's not your fault.
**[09:50] (Flashback) Toudou**
Don't feel bad about the outcome.
**[09:52] (Flashback) Toudou**
But when your final loss is the
team's loss, we blame ourselves.
**[09:58] (Flashback) Toudou**
Though the pain will tear you apart,
it can't be helped. Not for a while.
**[10:05] (Flashback) Toudou**
It takes time.
**[10:07] (Flashback) Toudou**
You just have to endure
it until you can face it.
**[10:12] Class Rep**
* There was nothing I could say*
* to him as he sadly smiled.*
**[10:24] Class Rep**
*It must've really come as a shock to him.*
**[10:27] Class Rep**
* Of course it did.*
* What should I have said to him?*
**[10:31] Class Rep**
*I don't know. Sangaku's always so carefree.*
**[10:36] Class Rep**
*I've never really seen him depressed before.*
**[10:39] Class Rep**
*Should I take him cycling like I used to? No.*
**[10:45] (Flashback) Class Rep**
I know, games!
Sangaku plays video games.
**[10:50] (Flashback) Class Rep**
Here.
**[10:52] (Flashback) Class Rep**
Try this. They said on TV that
games are a good distraction.
**[10:57] Class Rep**
* And this thing was expensive.*
* You'd better play it.*
**[11:01] (Flashback) Manami**
How unusual.
**[11:03] (Flashback) Manami**
You're giving me a gift?
**[11:06] (Flashback) Class Rep**
No... Well, yes.
**[11:10] (Flashback) Class Rep**
But don't read into it too much.
**[11:13] (Flashback) Manami**
Thanks.
**[11:15] (Flashback) Class Rep**
Don't play too much.
**[11:17] (Flashback) Class Rep**
You'd better do your homework, too.
**[11:19] (Flashback) Manami**
I know.
**[11:22] (Flashback) Manami**
Don't worry. I won't.
**[11:28] Class Rep**
By the time summer ended,
**[11:29] Class Rep**
he was attending practice every day and
seemed to be cheerfully riding his bike.
**[11:35] (Flashback) Manami**
Sorry.
**[11:37] Teacher**
Manami.
**[11:38] Class Rep**
He even showed up late when
the new semester started.
**[11:40] (Flashback) Class Rep**
Jeez!
**[11:43] Class Rep**
I was relieved to see he was
back to his normal self.
**[11:48] Class Rep**
*But that relief didn't last long.*
**[11:53] Class Rep**
* After that, Sangaku collapsed several*
* times during practice and intrateam races.*
**[11:58] (Flashback) Class Rep**
Excuse me.
**[12:00] Class Rep**
He was never seriously injured,
and every time I showed up...
**[12:04] (Flashback) Manami**
I fell again. I'm so clumsy.
**[12:09] Class Rep**
He always brushed it off.
**[12:12] Manami**
*I have to win.*
**[12:13] Manami**
*I have to win every team and official race.*
**[12:19] Manami**
*I have to become even stronger.*
**[12:23] (Flashback) Teammate A**
Hey, it's been two hours.
**[12:25] (Flashback) Teammate B**
If you don't stop,
you'll collapse again, Manami.
**[12:29] (Flashback) Manami**
I'm fine.
**[12:30] (Flashback) Teammate A**
But...
**[12:31] (Flashback) Manami**
I'm fine.
**[12:36] Class Rep**
*He's not back to normal at all.*
**[12:39] Class Rep**
* I've never seen Sangaku*
* scowl like that before.*
**[12:42] (Flashback) Toudou**
Do you know Manami?
**[12:46] (Flashback) Toudou**
You've been coming to watch a lot recently.
**[12:48] (Flashback) Class Rep**
Yes, I'm sorry. I promise
I won't get in the way.
**[12:53] (Flashback) Toudou**
He's put it all on himself.
**[12:55] (Flashback) Toudou**
No, we put it on him.
**[13:00] (Flashback) Toudou**
He's currently inside a long tunnel.
**[13:04] (Flashback) Toudou**
Unfortunately, he won't be back for a while.
**[13:06] (Flashback) Touduo**
Not until he realizes a
certain truth for himself.
**[13:12] (Flashback) Class Rep**
A certain truth?
***SIGN*** Yowamushi Pedal
**[13:23] (Flashback) Class Rep**
Could you please tell Sangaku about
that truth right this instant?
**[13:28] (Flashback) Toudou**
We've already told him numerous times.
**[13:31] (Flashback) Toudou**
Me, Fuku, and Shinkai.
**[13:35] (Flashback) Toudou**
But listening and understanding
are different things.
**[13:38] (Flashback) Toudou**
It takes days for the things we've heard
to pass through our bodies and sink in.
**[13:43] (Flashback) Toudou**
I also want to take away Manami's pain.
**[13:49] (Flashback) Toudou**
The legendary Hakone Academy bicycle
racing team lost at the Inter-High.
***SIGN*** Hakone Academy Bicycle Racing Team

as a scrawny little first-year.
**[14:13] (Flashback) Teammate A**
Manami!
**[14:14] (Flashback) Teammate B**
Are you okay?
**[14:19] (Flashback) Class Rep**
Toudou-san...

You're him, right? The third-year.
**[14:25] (Flashback) Class Rep**
There's... There's nothing I can do for him.
**[14:30] (Flashback) Class Rep**
I attended the race,
but I couldn't say anything.
**[14:35] (Flashback) Class Rep**
I can't think of anything
clever to say, and frankly,
**[14:38] (Flashback) Class Rep**
I don't know much about bicycles.
**[14:41] (Flashback) Class Rep**
But...
**[14:42] (Flashback) Class Rep**
But is there anything I can do?
**[14:48] (Flashback) Toudou**
Listen to him.
**[14:50] (Flashback) Class Rep**
What?
**[14:51] (Flashback) Toudou**
You don't have to respond.
**[14:53] (Flashback) Toudou**
You can just nod along to his idle chitchat.
**[15:01] (Flashback) Class Rep**
Okay.
**[15:04] Class Rep**
After that, I earnestly listened
to everything Sangaku said.
**[15:09] (Flashback) Manami**
My teammate put his jersey in the wash
with an energy bar in the pocket.
**[15:13] (Flashback) Class Rep**
Uh-huh. And?
**[15:15] (Flashback) Manami**
What? That's the whole story.
**[15:17] (Flashback) Class Rep**
That's it? There must be more.
**[15:19] (Flashback) Class Rep**
Like it got on the other
laundry or attracted birds.
**[15:23] (Flashback) Manami**
But he didn't say what happened after that.
**[15:26] Class Rep**
*Oh, no. I'm supposed to be listening.*
**[15:29] Class Rep**
*I took his story too seriously.*
**[15:31] (Flashback) Manami**
You know, class rep...
**[15:32] (Flashback) Class Rep**
Yes?
**[15:33] (Flashback) Manami**
You seem awfully interested in energy bars.
**[15:35] (Flashback) Class Rep**
Yes.
**[15:36] (Flashback) Manami**
Do you want one?
**[15:37] (Flashback) Class Rep**
Yes.
**[15:42] Class Rep**
At school...
**[15:43] (Flashback) Manami**
Class rep.
**[15:46] (Flashback) Manami**
Are you busy?
**[15:47] (Flashback) Class Rep**
Actually, I...
**[15:49] (Flashback) Class Rep**
Not at all.
**[15:51] (Flashback) Manami**
What do you think of the new cafeteria menu?
**[15:53] Class Rep**
*He wants to talk about that?*
**[15:55] (Flashback) Class Rep**
Well...
**[15:56] Class Rep**
*Do we have to talk about that right now?*
**[15:59] Class Rep**
*While standing, no less?*
**[16:01] (Flashback) Manami**
I preferred the old one.
**[16:03] (Flashback) Class Rep**
Y-Yeah...
**[16:06] Manami**
Om nom nom nom...
**[16:08] Class Rep**
*What is he saying?*
**[16:11] (Flashback) Class Rep**
U-Uh, yeah.
**[16:14] Class Rep**
The seasons changed,
and one day, out of nowhere...
**[16:19] (Flashback) Manami**
Class rep...
**[16:21] (Flashback) Manami**
Are you free now?
**[16:23] (Flashback) Class Rep**
Yeah, sure.
**[16:26] (Flashback) Manami**
I found it.
**[16:30] (Flashback) Manami**
All of a sudden, while riding my bike yesterday.
**[16:34] (Flashback) Manami**
I found a kind of—how can I explain it?
**[16:39] (Flashback) Manami**
I arrived at a certain truth.
**[16:43] Class Rep**
They were the words Toudou-san
had told me that day.
**[16:48] (Flashback) Toudou**
The truth is very simple.
**[16:52] (Flashback) Toudou**
When people fail, they immediately
try to make up for it.
**[16:56] (Flashback) Toudou**
They're desperate to wipe away their failure.
**[16:59] (Flashback) Toudou**
They rush to produce results.
**[17:02] (Flashback) Toudou**
But as long as they're
doing that, they can't.
**[17:06] (Flashback) Toudou**
He'll fail again.
**[17:09] (Flashback) Toudou**
Once he's tried to his heart's content,
**[17:12] (Flashback) Toudou**
given everything he has
physically and emotionally,
**[17:15] (Flashback) Toudou**
and is finally empty, he'll realize it.
**[17:19] (Flashback) Manami**
In the end, that's how it is.
**[17:25] Class Rep**
After that day, Sangaku changed,
little by little.
**[17:30] (Flashback) Teammate A**
Manami placed third in the recent team race.
**[17:33] (Flashback) Teammate B**
That's good. He's returning to form.
**[17:38] Class Rep**
When he rode with the third-years
in their sendoff race...
**[17:44] Class Rep**
When he met Toudou-san on a snowy day and
raced against someone on some road...
**[17:52] Class Rep**
He seemed happy when he told me about it.
**[17:56] Class Rep**
Sangaku had cheered up.
**[17:59] Class Rep**
He'd exited the long tunnel and returned.
**[18:05] Class Rep**
And in March,
**[18:08] Class Rep**
when Sangaku showed up on time for
once to his seniors' graduation,
**[18:12] Class Rep**
he was radiant.
**[18:22] Class Rep**
Sangaku is back.
He's overflowing with confidence...
**[18:27] (Flashback) Manami**
I forgot to sign the participation agreement,
so my victory was invalidated.
**[18:33] (Flashback) Teammate A**
What?
**[18:34] (Flashback) Teammate B**
Seriously?
**[18:35] Class Rep**
...and wearing that dopey smile.
**[18:39] Class Rep**
And now, you've overcome numerous
struggles on your way here.
**[18:46] Class Rep**
To the finish line of the
final day of the Inter-High.
**[18:51] Class Rep**
Sangaku, do you remember
what you said that day?
**[18:56] (Flashback) Manami**
In the end, that's how it is.
**[18:59] (Flashback) Manami**
It's simple.
**[19:03] (Flashback) Manami**
A loss at the Inter-High can only
be made up for at the Inter-High.
**[19:09] Class Rep**
*Such powerful words.*
**[19:12] Teammate A**
The lead riders are coming!
**[19:15] Class Rep**
Sangaku is surely here at this Inter-High
to make those words reality.
**[19:24] Class Rep**
There's nothing I can do.
There's nothing I can say.
**[19:27] Class Rep**
So I'll cheer my heart out.
**[19:31] Class Rep**
That's why I came here.
**[19:34] Class Rep**
Sangaku!
**[19:36] Fan A**
Go!
**[19:37] Fan B**
Hakone Academy!
**[19:38] Fan C**
Pedal hard!
**[19:40] Class Rep**
What? No way.
**[19:41] Class Rep**
Everyone else is so loud. My
voice won't reach him like this.
**[19:45] Fan A**
The two lead riders are
the same as last year!
**[19:48] Fan B**
Will one get revenge,
or will the other win again?
**[19:50] Fan C**
This is so exciting!
**[19:53] Class Rep**
What should I do?
**[19:54] Class Rep**
Sangaku will be here soon.
**[19:56] Class Rep**
I'm too small. He won't see me.
**[19:58] Class Rep**
He won't hear me.
**[20:04] Class Rep**
No, Sangaku is fighting now.
**[20:08] Class Rep**
He's fighting all alone to achieve
what he's wanted all year.
**[20:12] Class Rep**
All I need to do is cheer for him.
**[20:16] Class Rep**
It doesn't matter if he doesn't hear me.
**[20:18] Class Rep**
It doesn't matter if he doesn't see me.
**[20:19] Class Rep**
I'll yell as loud as I can.
**[20:22] Class Rep**
I'll cheer for you. I'll tell you...
**[20:25] Class Rep**
That's odd. They're the same
words I said last year.
**[20:29] Class Rep**
Please win, Sangaku!
**[20:35] Class Rep**
What? Did Sangaku just nod slightly?
**[20:42] Manami**
The class rep was here.
**[20:45] Manami**
I must be amazing. I picked out her
voice through all these cheers.
**[20:50] Manami**
I wonder why.
**[20:53] Manami**
It must be because she listened
to me so much over the past year.
**[20:59] Manami**
Win? Yeah, of course.
**[21:03] Manami**
That's why I'm here.
**[21:06] Fan D**
Hakone Academy accelerated!
**[21:07] Fan E**
He's got a slight lead!
**[21:09] Sakamichi Mom**
He's here. It's my son.
**[21:13] Sakamichi Mom**
Sakamichi...
**[21:15] Sakamichi Mom**
You're gritting your teeth
and sweating so much
**[21:18] Sakamichi Mom**
as you race with a determined
look on your face.
**[21:21] Sakamichi Mom**
I wish I could wipe your sweat away,
but these days you've been rejecting my help.
**[21:27] Sakamichi Mom**
Go on. Do what you want to do.
**[21:31] Sakamichi Mom**
Go after it, Sakamichi!
**[21:34] Sakamichi**
Yeah!
**[21:37] Sakamichi Mom**
He's gone.
**[21:41] Sakamichi Mom**
I got lots of photos of the ground.
**[21:46] Sakamichi**
I just heard a voice that
sounded like my mom's.
**[21:49] Sakamichi**
I said "yeah" without thinking about it.
**[21:52] (Flashback) Sakamichi Mom**
Go after it!
**[21:53] Sakamichi**
My mom used to say that to me all the time.
**[21:58] (Flashback) Sakamichi Mom**
Come on. Try harder to go after it.
**[22:01] (Flashback) Young Sakamichi**
But, Mom...
**[22:03] (Flashback) Sakamichi Mom**
Go get it yourself.
**[22:07] (Flashback) Young Sakamichi**
I can't. There are bugs in there.
**[22:09] (Flashback) Sakamichi Mom**
You'll be fine. Go on.
**[22:13] Sakamichi**
I was scared of tall grass back then.
**[22:15] Sakamichi**
Places where anything might jump out
at you were like alien worlds to me.
**[22:21] (Flashback) Sakamichi Mom**
Just go after it.
**[22:23] (Flashback) Sakamichi Mom**
Why do you always give up partway?
**[22:25] Sakamichi**
But, Mom, I've grown a little.
**[22:31] Sakamichi**
I can enter the tall grass alone.
**[22:36] Sakamichi**
I'm riding this road alone.
**[22:40] Sakamichi**
I'm even chasing after what's in front of me.
**[22:43] Sakamichi**
Do you know why?
**[22:46] Sakamichi**
Because my seniors, my juniors, and friends
**[22:50] Sakamichi**
have given me so much strength and courage.
**[22:56] Sakamichi**
I'm exhausted.
**[22:57] Sakamichi**
But I'll chase after what's in front of me.
**[23:05] Fan F**
Look at Sohoku!
**[23:07] Fan G**
He caught up to...
**[23:11] Fan G**
Hakone Academy again!

Hakone Academy is forcing his way inside!
**[00:22] Fan B**
He bumped into him!

He moved ahead from the inside!
**[00:26] Fan B**
But neither one has stopped pedaling!
**[00:30] Manami**
I'll claim the finish line!

after passing the 700-meter mark.
**[02:16] Announce**
Will it be Sohoku High
School or Hakone Academy?
**[02:19] Announce**
Which team will claim the crown?
**[02:23] Arakita**
Which team, huh?
**[02:25] Arakita**
In road racing, you never know
who's gonna win until it's over.
**[02:29] Arakita**
But, Kinjou...
**[02:31] Arakita**
If I had to predict a winner,
I'd say Manami's way more likely to win.
**[02:40] Arakita**
He struggled this past year.
**[02:43] Arakita**
At first, I called him an oddball
and opposed him joining the team,
**[02:47] Arakita**
but he was strong.
**[02:49] Arakita**
And losing made him even stronger.
**[02:53] Arakita**
Toudou said the same thing.
**[02:57] Arakita**
The look in his eyes has changed.
**[03:00] Arakita**
So has his smell.
**[03:01] Arakita**
It's like his focus has improved.
**[03:05] Arakita**
He jokes around, but his
smell has gotten stronger.
**[03:09] Arakita**
Onoda-chan is a hard worker.
**[03:11] Arakita**
I'm sure he worked hard this past year.
**[03:14] Arakita**
But it takes a certain kind of person to
cross the finish line at the peak first.
**[03:21] Arakita**
In his first year, he seized the champion's
glory without understanding anything.
**[03:26] Arakita**
Then he won at Minegayama, too.
**[03:29] Arakita**
Someone who's been having such a
cheerful, fun time can't—
**[03:33] Arakita**
Sorry, Kinjou. I'm not trying to put him down.
**[03:37] Arakita**
It's just cold, hard judgment.
**[03:40] Arakita**
He can't break through that wall.
**[03:45] Fan D**
What's wrong, Mountain King?
**[03:46] Fan E**
He's fallen behind because he can't
keep up with Manami's increased pace!
**[03:52] Arakita**
They're closing in on the 500-meter mark.
**[03:55] Arakita**
If one of them falls more
than ten meters behind,
**[03:59] Arakita**
then whoever's in front will win.
**[04:04] Arakita**
In a one-on-one with 500 meters
to go, they'll be out of stamina.
**[04:08] Arakita**
It'll come down to willpower.
**[04:10] Arakita**
And willpower is the product of everything
you've experienced until now.
**[04:14] Arakita**
Failure. Frustration. Feelings you
can't do anything about.
**[04:19] Arakita**
They prop you up.
**[04:21] Arakita**
And guys who don't have that...
**[04:24] Arakita**
Honestly, they can't win.
**[04:27] Sakamichi**
He got ahead of me.
**[04:29] Sakamichi**
What am I doing?
**[04:31] Sakamichi**
When he bumped into me earlier,
my right binding came undone.
**[04:35] Sakamichi**
I can't get my foot back into it.
**[04:37] Sakamichi**
I'm falling behind.
**[04:39] Fan D**
The gap is widening!
**[04:41] Fan D**
Five meters, six meters...
**[04:43] Fan D**
No, he's eight meters behind!
**[04:45] Fan E**
They're 600 meters from the finish line!
**[04:49] Sakamichi**
A gap at this distance is likely fatal!
**[04:54] Kinjou**
"Feelings you can't do anything about," huh?
**[04:57] Kinjou**
If that's the condition for surviving
the battle before the finish line,
**[05:02] Kinjou**
then Onoda is worthy, too.
**[05:08] Kinjou**
Did you think Onoda's growth
has been smooth and steady?
**[05:12] Arakita**
What? You mean it hasn't?
**[05:17] Arakita**
Are you talking about
the pressure of winning?
**[05:19] Kinjou**
No, not that.
**[05:22] Kinjou**
I doubt anyone outside the team would know.
**[05:25] Kinjou**
At nearly the same time he won the
Inter-High, he lost something important.
**[05:33] Kinjou**
The man he admired from the bottom of his heart,
**[05:37] Kinjou**
who rode with him at the Inter-High
and always offered advice...
**[05:41] Kinjou**
The senior he looked up to...
**[05:45] Kinjou**
suddenly disappeared from his sight.
**[05:48] Kinjou**
It had only been a few months since
they met, but as they were both climbers,
**[05:52] Kinjou**
Onoda was drawn to him and admired him.
**[05:57] Kinjou**
Victory isn't what motivates him.
**[06:00] Kinjou**
To him, connections are more
important than anything.
**[06:04] Kinjou**
He rides to stay connected
with his friends and seniors.
**[06:08] Kinjou**
That's the kind of man he is.
**[06:11] Kinjou**
Let me tell you about what he lost.
**[06:17] Kinjou**
How Onoda spent the last year and my
final job as captain of Team Sohoku.
***SIGN*** Last August
Chiba Prefecture, Sohoku High School
**[06:26] (Flashback) Kinjou**
Hey.
**[06:31] (Flashback) Kinjou**
Going to the library again today?
You're studying hard.
**[06:35] (Flashback) Makishima**
I guess. You are, too.
**[06:38] (Flashback) Kinjou**
I was asked to attend a
meeting for our celebration.
**[06:42] (Flashback) Makishima**
Is your knee okay?
**[06:46] (Flashback) Kinjou**
It's doing better.
**[06:47] (Flashback) Makishima**
I see. That's good.
**[06:51] (Flashback) Makishima**
It's hot again today.
**[06:53] (Flashback) Kinjou**
It sure is.
**[06:54] (Flashback) Kinjou**
By the way, Makishima,
are you free next Tuesday?
**[06:59] (Flashback) Kinjou**
*Cycle Time* wants to take photos
and get a comment from you.
**[07:04] (Flashback) Kinjou**
What's the matter?
**[07:06] (Flashback) Makishima**
I've been meaning to tell you something.
**[07:09] (Flashback) Makishima**
It's important, Kinjou.
**[07:14] (Flashback) Makishima**
I know this isn't the time
or place for this, but...
**[07:21] (Flashback) Makishima**
Sorry. I never got the chance to tell you.
**[07:24] (Flashback) Makishima**
You and Tadokoro did a lot for me.
**[07:27] (Flashback) Makishima**
We rode hard together for three years.
**[07:31] (Flashback) Makishima**
You supported me through difficult practices.
**[07:34] (Flashback) Makishima**
Winning the Inter-High felt amazing.
**[07:38] (Flashback) Makishima**
I've told the teachers.
**[07:41] (Flashback) Makishima**
They're letting me submit reports instead
of attending class so I can graduate.
**[07:50] (Flashback) Makishima**
I'm going to England in September.
**[07:55] (Flashback) Makishima**
I've submitted my club resignation.
**[07:57] (Flashback) Makishima**
I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner.
**[08:02] Sakamichi**
*Lovely chance pancake girl.*
**[08:08] Sakamichi**
*You're still my princess!*
**[08:09] Imaizumi**
*He's in a good mood.*
**[08:11] Sakamichi**
*You are who you are!*
**[08:11] Naruko**
*He's in an exceptionally good mood.*
**[08:12] Sakamichi**
*Love Hime fight!*
**[08:14] (Flashback) Naruko**
You're in a real good mood, Onoda-kun.
**[08:16] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
Huh? What? You could tell?
**[08:18] (Flashback) Imaizumi**
Yeah, it's obvious.
**[08:21] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
I'm just so happy because
one of my dreams came true.
**[08:27] Imaizumi**
*His dream? Is he talking about the other day?*
**[08:30] Naruko**
*Winnin' the Inter-High?*
**[08:32] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
We all went to Akiba together.
**[08:35] Both**
**That's *what he meant?*
**[08:37] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
I got to visit Akiba with
everyone and thank all of you.
**[08:43] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
I have no regrets.
**[08:45] (Flashback) Naruko**
There must be somethin' you still wanna do.
**[08:48] (Flashback) Imaizumi**
What about winning the Inter-High?
**[08:51] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
That was fun.
**[08:55] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
It's always been my dream...
**[08:59] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
to go to Akiba with my friends.
**[09:03] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
You know, because I always went there alone.
**[09:08] (Flashback) Imaizumi**
I guess that sounds like you.
**[09:11] (Flashback) Naruko**
Yeah, you are who you are.
**[09:14] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
Do you think the seniors will
go to Akiba with me again?
**[09:17] (Flashback) Naruko**
I hate to say this, Onoda-kun...
**[09:20] (Flashback) Imaizumi**
But I seriously doubt it.
**[09:22] (Flashback) Naruko**
Don't come out and say it, hotshot!
**[09:24] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
Even Makishima-san?
**[09:25] (Flashback) Imaizumi**
He's the hardest sell.
**[09:26] (Flashback) Naruko**
Watch it, hotshot!
**[09:27] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
Huh? What?
**[09:29] (Flashback) Naruko**
You didn't hear that, Onoda-kun?
**[09:32] (Flashback) Tadokoro**
What? Why?
**[09:34] (Flashback) Tadokoro**
Makishima's going to England?
No one told me anything about that!
**[09:38] (Flashback) Kinjou**
No one told me, either.
**[09:41] (Flashback) Kinjou**
He just told me in the hallway, too.
**[09:43] (Flashback) Makishima**
I'm sorry, Kinjou. Really.
**[09:48] (Flashback) Makishima**
Tell Tadokorocchi for me.
**[09:51] (Flashback) Makishima**
I won't be able to attend
graduation with you guys.
**[09:58] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
Makishima-san!
**[10:02] (Flashback) Makishima**
Onoda, I'm on my way up Minegayama.
**[10:07] (Flashback) Makishima**
Want to join me?
**[10:14] (Flashback) Makishima**
Hey, Sakamichi!
**[10:15] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
Yes, sir!
**[10:19] (Flashback) Makishima**
Do you enjoy riding your bike?
**[10:22] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
Yes!
**[10:25] (Flashback) Makishima**
We're counting on you to
carry our Sohoku, Sakamichi.
**[10:40] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
Good evening. What are the
two of you doing here?
**[10:45] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
I just went for a ride with Makishima-san.
**[10:49] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
He invited me.
**[10:50] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
Makishima-san said he was
heading straight home.
**[10:56] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
He's amazing, isn't he?
**[10:59] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
He's so fast and cool.
**[11:01] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
He doesn't like it when I call him cool,
**[11:04] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
but today his back looked
exceptionally awe-inspiring.
**[11:11] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
And he said something really nice, too.
**[11:17] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
Oh, I'm sorry for rambling on.
**[11:20] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
Were you waiting for someone?
**[11:22] (Flashback) Tadokoro**
Yeah, you.
**[11:24] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
What?
**[11:26] (Flashback) Kinjou**
Onoda, we need to talk.
**[11:29] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
Did I do something?
**[11:32] (Flashback) Kinjou**
It's not about you. It's about Makishima.
**[11:35] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
What is it? Will Makishima-san
be racing again?
**[11:40] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
Do I get to race with him?
**[11:44] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
There's so much I still
want to learn from him.
**[11:49] (Flashback) Kinjou**
Try to stay calm, Onoda.
**[11:54] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
What?
**[11:58] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
England? You mean he's not coming back?
**[12:05] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
Not to practice, or even school?
**[12:09] (Flashback) Kinjou**
Makishima is quitting the team today.
**[12:14] Kinjou**
It even hurt us to see how dispirited
and lifeless Onoda became.
**[12:22] Kinjou**
He forced himself through
practice and often fell.
**[12:28] Kinjou**
He began staring off into
space from time to time.
**[12:35] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
No, I shouldn't be like this.
**[12:39] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
I promised I'd make Sohoku stronger, but...
**[12:47] (Flashback) Kinjou**
Teshima.
**[12:50] (Flashback) Teshima**
Yes, sir.
**[12:51] (Flashback) Kinjou**
I've retired from the team
and left it in your hands.
**[12:55] (Flashback) Kinjou**
I'm in no position to tell you what to do.
**[12:58] (Flashback) Kinjou**
But I realized there was one
thing I forgot to do as captain.
**[13:05] (Flashback) Kinjou**
Could I borrow Onoda tomorrow?
**[13:09] (Flashback) Teshima**
Yes, sir.
***SIGN*** Yowamushi Pedal
**[13:20] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
U-Um, where are we going today?
**[13:24] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
Teshima-san said I'd be
training directly under you.
**[13:30] (Flashback) Kinjou**
I thought we could check out the beach today.
**[13:33] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
That sounds incredibly difficult.
**[13:35] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
Wait, what? The beach?
**[13:43] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
We actually came to the beach.
**[13:45] (Flashback) Kinjou**
Onoda, do you think you could
hit that buoy with a rock?
**[13:49] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
What? A rock?
**[13:52] (Flashback) Kinjou**
When I was in middle school,
I had a senior I looked up to.
**[14:00] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
You had a senior?
**[14:04] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
Oh, I'm sorry.
**[14:06] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
You've been my senior ever
since I started high school,
**[14:09] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
so I was just surprised
you ever had one, too.
**[14:14] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
I mean, of course you did.
**[14:17] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
You have seniors, too.
**[14:19] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
Your senior, huh? I can't imagine
what that would be like.
**[14:25] (Flashback) Kinjou**
In middle school, I was on
a local shop's club team.
**[14:29] (Flashback) Kinjou**
I practiced alongside adults.
**[14:32] (Flashback) Kinjou**
Not that it was an especially
high-level team.
**[14:37] (Flashback) Kinjou**
But Koseki-san was there.
**[14:40] (Flashback) Kinjou**
He was a former pro.
**[14:42] (Flashback) Kinjou**
He was a strict but kind and awesome guy.
**[14:46] (Flashback) Kinjou**
I copied his riding style,
his clothes, and even his bike brand.
**[14:50] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
You looked up to him?
**[14:54] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
He must've been incredible.
**[14:56] (Flashback) Kinjou**
Yeah. Every time he told me,
"Good job, Shingo," I was overjoyed.
**[15:04] (Flashback) Kinjou**
It made me feel like I'd become
a hundred times stronger.
**[15:08] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
I know that feeling.
**[15:10] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
When Makishima-san praised me, I...
**[15:16] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
I felt the same way.
**[15:18] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
Oh, I'm all right.
**[15:21] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
I promised I'd do my best to
become stronger, so I...
**[15:30] (Flashback) Kinjou**
But in the fall of my second
year of middle school,
**[15:33] (Flashback) Kinjou**
Koseki-san moved away
because of his job.
**[15:36] (Flashback) Kinjou**
He was suddenly so far away.
**[15:43] (Flashback) Kinjou**
I used to come here with
Koseki-san during practice
**[15:48] (Flashback) Kinjou**
and try to hit that buoy with rocks.
**[15:56] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
A-Amazing, Kinjou-san. You got it in one try.
**[16:00] (Flashback) Kinjou**
The first time he told me to do it,
I couldn't hit it once.
**[16:04] (Flashback) Kinjou**
After Koseki-san moved away,
**[16:06] (Flashback) Kinjou**
there was no one to praise me when
I came here alone and hit it.
**[16:12] (Flashback) Kinjou**
Chance encounters can be cruel sometimes.
**[16:16] (Flashback) Kinjou**
They're not there when you wish they were.
**[16:19] (Flashback) Kinjou**
When you're troubled, when you're suffering,
**[16:22] (Flashback) Kinjou**
when you're happy, when you're overwhelmed...
**[16:29] (Flashback) Kinjou**
They're gone.
**[16:31] (Flashback) Kinjou**
What would you do, Onoda?
**[16:33] (Flashback) Kinjou**
Would you look for their replacement?
**[16:35] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
What? A replacement?
**[16:49] (Flashback) Kinjou**
That's right. You already have your answer.
**[16:53] (Flashback) Kinjou**
There's no one
**[16:57] (Flashback) Kinjou**
who can replace them.
**[17:02] (Flashback) Kinjou**
Then what do you do?
**[17:04] (Flashback) Kinjou**
You ask them for guidance in your heart
and choose the path you should follow.
**[17:10] (Flashback) Kinjou**
That's all you can do.
**[17:14] Kinjou**
* You can't recover from something*
* like that right away.*
**[17:20] Kinjou**
* But unlike the trip here,*
* his pedaling has become natural.*
**[17:24] Kinjou**
*He's not tensing up.*
**[17:28] Kinjou**
*That's it, Onoda. One step at a time.*
**[17:33] Kinjou**
* I came to this beach to*
* make you face the truth.*
**[17:37] Kinjou**
* There's nothing you can do about*
* Makishima going to England.*
**[17:42] Kinjou**
* But you can think back on everything*
* Makishima taught you, just like I once did.*
**[17:51] Kinjou**
* Those joyful moments,*
* those moments that moved you...*
**[17:57] Kinjou**
* And after all that thought,*
* the path you choose.*
**[18:04] (Flashback) Kinjou**
Onoda.
**[18:06] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
Huh? Yes, sir.
**[18:09] (Flashback) Kinjou**
When you're struggling or troubled,
you have to decide for yourself.
**[18:15] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
Yes, sir.
**[18:16] (Flashback) Kinjou**
The answer can only be found within yourself.
**[18:19] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
Yes, sir.
**[18:20] (Flashback) Kinjou**
But when things get so difficult
that you can't stand...
**[18:25] (Flashback) Kinjou**
Lean on me. I'll support you.
**[18:29] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
What?
**[18:33] (Flashback) Kinjou**
You know what I mean.
**[18:35] (Flashback) Kinjou**
That's right. Sohoku is a team
that supports each other.
**[18:42] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
Yes, sir.
**[18:44] (Flashback) Kinjou**
The path you choose after all
that thought leads to the future.
**[18:53] Kinjou**
That fall, Onoda won the
Minegayama hill climb.
**[18:59] (Flashback) Naruko**
Nice work today, Onoda-kun.
**[19:03] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
A-Aw, shucks.
**[19:05] (Flashback) Naruko**
I was shakin' when you passed that lanky
guy from Hakone Academy at the end.
**[19:10] (Flashback) Naruko**
Meanwhile, hotshot did absolutely
nothin' while ridin' in the back.
**[19:14] (Flashback) Imaizumi**
I did plenty. You just weren't watching.
**[19:18] (Flashback) Naruko**
Yeah, yeah. Sure you did.
**[19:20] (Flashback) Kinjou**
Good work, Teshima.
**[19:23] (Flashback) Kinjou**
That was the new Sohoku's first victory.
**[19:26] (Flashback) Teshima**
I was just there when it happened.
I didn't do anything.
**[19:31] (Flashback) Kinjou**
I'm not so sure about that.
**[19:33] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
But I didn't come close to
beating Makishima-san's time.
**[19:38] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
Makishima-san is the winner.
**[19:40] (Flashback) Both**
That's not right!
**[19:42] (Flashback) Kinjou**
Onoda couldn't have attacked if
you hadn't ridden so recklessly
**[19:46] (Flashback) Kinjou**
during the middle of the race.
**[19:49] (Flashback) Teshima**
I wouldn't say that.
**[19:54] Kinjou**
Little by little, Onoda's condition improved.
**[20:00] Kinjou**
He stopped falling during practice.
**[20:03] (Flashback) Naruko**
That's it, Onoda-kun.
**[20:07] (Flashback) Teshima**
Onoda's climbing reasonably well again.
**[20:10] (Flashback) Teshima**
Kinjou-san, what did you do that day?
**[20:15] (Flashback) Kinjou**
I simply told him the obvious. Sohoku is
a team that supports each other.
**[20:21] (Flashback) Kinjou**
That doesn't change once the race
ends and we've gotten off our bikes.
**[20:26] (Flashback) Kinjou**
Onoda's recovery is in part due to you
carrying on that spirit and leading the team.
**[20:31] (Flashback) Kinjou**
That's good news.
**[20:36] (Flashback) Teshima**
He seems to be doing well physically.
**[20:41] (Flashback) Teshima**
But sometimes he still
spaces out during practice.
**[20:46] (Flashback) Teshima**
He falls back when he needs to try harder.
**[20:49] (Flashback) Kinjou**
So it's an emotional problem.
**[20:51] (Flashback) Teshima**
Yes. I don't think he's over it yet.
**[20:54] (Flashback) Kinjou**
Normally winning a race would fix it.
**[20:59] (Flashback) Teshima**
It's all right. We'll do something about it.
**[21:03] (Flashback) Teshima**
Come visit the team room from time to time.
**[21:21] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
Hello, Kinjou-san.
**[21:24] (Flashback) Kinjou**
Another letter?
**[21:26] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
Yes.
**[21:27] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
Practice was canceled due to the snow,
**[21:30] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
so I'm catching him up on
everything that's happened.
**[21:33] (Flashback) Kinjou**
I'm impressed. You must've sent
more than 20 letters by now.
**[21:39] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
But, well... I enjoy
doing this, so it's fine,
**[21:45] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
but I've never received a
response from Makishima-san.
**[21:50] (Flashback) Kinjou**
He can be a bit odd.
He's not much of a writer, either.
**[21:56] (Flashback) Kinjou**
But he'll enjoy receiving your letters.
**[21:59] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
I hope you're right.
**[22:01] (Flashback) Kinjou**
The other day, I sent him
the Inter-High results.
**[22:05] (Flashback) Kinjou**
On the edge of the envelope
sent back, he wrote,
**[22:08] (Flashback) Kinjou**
"Tell Onoda thank you for the letters."
**[22:15] (Flashback) Kinjou**
He wrote it directly on the envelope
instead of writing a letter.
**[22:19] (Flashback) Kinjou**
He's a weird guy.
**[22:23] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
Is that true?
**[22:27] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
That means my letters are
reaching Makishima-san, right?
**[22:36] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
That means he's reading them, right?
**[22:44] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
That's great. I'm so glad.
**[22:49] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
Thank you.
**[22:51] Kinjou**
*This rising pressure...*
**[22:53] Kinjou**
* All this from one sentence scribbled*
* on the edge of an envelope?*
**[22:58] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
Oh, right. I'd better keep writing.
**[23:01] Kinjou**
*Onoda, you truly are a surprising man.*
**[23:10] Kinjou**
Surprisingly, Onoda recovered
quickly after that day.

**[01:39] Naruko**
Seriously?
**[01:41] Teshima**
He caught up already.
**[01:42] (Flashback) Imaizumi**
With a smile, no less.
**[01:47] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
Thanks for waiting, everyone.
**[01:49] (Flashback) Naruko**
You're really zoomin'.
**[01:51] (Flashback) Teshima**
I thought it'd take you a few more minutes.
**[01:53] (Flashback) Imaizumi**
Just how fast did you climb?
**[01:56] (Flashback) Naruko**
You even brought Aoyagi-san with you
after he got separated from the team.
**[01:59] (Flashback) Imaizumi**
He's a sprinter. Don't push
him so hard on a climb.
**[02:03] (Flashback) Aoyagi**
He's too fast.
**[02:04] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
Sorry.
**[02:06] (Flashback) Imaizumi**
You're in great shape, Onoda.
**[02:08] (Flashback) Naruko**
Somethin' good happen?
**[02:11] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
Huh? Makishime—
**[02:13] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
I mean, nothing.
**[02:15] Imaizumi**
What did you say?
**[02:15] Teshima**
*Onoda...*
**[02:17] Naruko**
Don't hide it.
**[02:17] Teshima**
*He's back. Has he recovered?*
**[02:19] Sakamichi**
It's nothing, really.
**[02:22] (Flashback) Naruko**
You were about to say somethin'.
**[02:24] (Flashback) Teshima**
All right.
**[02:25] (Flashback) Teshima**
Change of plans.
**[02:27] (Flashback) Imaizumi**
What?
**[02:29] (Flashback) Teshima**
Originally, I thought everyone could
climb at their own pace, but Onoda...
**[02:32] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
Yes?
**[02:33] (Flashback) Teshima**
Do you think you can reach the peak first?
**[02:36] (Flashback) Teshima**
Let's race.
**[02:37] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
Huh?
**[02:38] (Flashback) Teshima**
But there's a condition.
**[02:41] (Flashback) Teshima**
You have to wait for one minute
at that vending machine.
**[02:45] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
What?
**[02:46] (Flashback) Teshima**
You'll be racing against
Imaizumi, Naruko, and me.
***SIGN*** Summit
**[02:49] (Flashback) Teshima**
Think you can beat us?
**[02:52] Sakamichi**
*One minute. Four kilometers.*
**[02:59] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
Yes, sir. I'll give it a shot.
**[03:01] (Flashback) Teshima**
The rest of you, don't let
Onoda catch up to you.
**[03:07] Teshima**
* His willingness to give it a*
* shot is a sign he's recovered.*
***SIGN*** Caution: Winding Road
**[03:22] (Flashback) Naruko**
Seriously?
**[03:29] (Flashback) Teshima**
You came, Onoda. I'm impressed.
**[03:32] (Flashback) Teshima**
Think you can pass me?
**[03:33] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
I will.
**[03:38] (Flashback) Teshima**
What?
**[03:40] (Flashback) Imaizumi**
Damn. I let my guard down.
**[03:42] (Flashback) Imaizumi**
I didn't think he'd come now.
**[03:46] (Flashback) Imaizumi**
What? Hey, where are you going?
**[03:51] (Flashback) Imaizumi**
Are you okay?
**[03:53] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
Sorry.
**[03:54] Teshima**
*He actually did it.*
**[03:56] Teshima**
*Those eyes...*
**[03:58] Teshima**
*He's definitely made a complete recovery.*
**[04:02] Teshima**
*Good, Onoda.*
**[04:04] Teshima**
* I'll have to report this to*
* Kinjou-san right away.*
**[04:11] Kinjou**
And that's how Onoda finally
made it out of the darkness.
**[04:16] Kinjou**
I didn't realize until then
**[04:18] Kinjou**
what motivates Onoda to ride.
**[04:25] (Flashback) Kinjou**
Do you want to win next year's Inter-High?
**[04:29] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
What? Oh, no. Someone else can win.
**[04:35] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
I'd be happy just supporting them.
**[04:40] Kinjou**
At the time, I thought
he was just being modest.
**[04:44] Kinjou**
But he truly felt that way.
**[04:47] Kinjou**
Just as he was delighted by a
brief note from Makishima...
**[04:52] Kinjou**
Just as he jumped onto a bike
he'd never ridden before
**[04:55] Kinjou**
at the first-year race to
chase after the other two...
**[04:59] Kinjou**
He doesn't desire victory.
**[05:03] Kinjou**
Within the team's hierarchy,
he's rather low-ranking.
**[05:06] Kinjou**
I'm constantly surprised by
his unexpected behavior.
**[05:11] Kinjou**
To chase after those ahead of him.
**[05:14] Kinjou**
To connect with his teammates.
**[05:17] Kinjou**
He rides for those simple reasons.
**[05:22] Kinjou**
What could be easier to understand?
**[05:25] Kinjou**
And the way he rides as hard as he can
when he's been trusted with something
**[05:32] Kinjou**
is the epitome of road racing.
**[05:40] Sakamichi**
Come on.
**[05:42] Sakamichi**
Get in there, get in there, get in there!
**[05:53] Sakamichi**
It's in!
**[05:58] Fan A**
The Mountain King accelerated!
**[05:59] Fan B**
He's come around!
**[06:01] Fan C**
But he can't close the gap!
**[06:04] Arakita**
I see.
**[06:07] Arakita**
Then maybe Onoda-chan has what it takes
***SIGN*** Inter-High Road Race
**[06:12] Arakita**
to fight for the finish line
at the Inter-High.
***SIGN*** Inter-High Road Race
**[06:21] Announce**
The two lead riders have come into view.
**[06:23] Announce**
It's Hakone Academy and Sohoku High School.
**[06:25] Announce**
Who will pass through the goal gate first?
**[06:30] Fan D**
500 meters to go!
**[06:31] Fan D**
Hakone Academy's Manami
sped by so effortlessly!
**[06:35] Manami**
I'm going all out until the end of the race.
**[06:38] Manami**
Go!
**[06:41] Fan E**
Such brilliant dancing!
**[06:44] Fan F**
Second-year ace climber,
the Sky Prince, Manami Sangaku, #13!
**[06:51] Manami**
#13.
**[06:54] Manami**
Toudou-san, who gave me this number...
**[06:58] Manami**
Toudou-san, who gave me those
words when I was struggling...
**[07:03] Manami**
If he could see this situation now...
**[07:05] Toudou**
A final battle against Four Eyes again?
**[07:08] Toudou**
You must really enjoy it.
**[07:11] Toudou**
It must be fate.
**[07:15] Manami**
I bet he'd tell me that.
**[07:18] Manami**
And if he were here,
there's only one thing he'd say.
**[07:25] Toudou**
That's it. Just like that.
**[07:31] Toudou**
Ride freely, Manami.
**[07:36] Manami**
Yes, sir. Thank you.
**[07:41] Manami**
Amazing. I was just thinking about
Toudou-san, and he was actually there.
**[07:46] Manami**
He truly is the Mountain God.
**[07:49] Manami**
Normally he's a chatterbox,
but during important moments,
**[07:52] Manami**
he speaks only a few words of encouragement.
**[07:59] Fan G**
The Mountain King's got 500 meters to go!
**[08:02] Fan H**
The size of the gap hasn't changed!
**[08:04] Sakamichi**
What should I do? I have to close this gap.
**[08:08] Sakamichi**
What should I do, what should
I do, what should I do?
**[08:18] Sakamichi**
M... M...
**[08:22] Sakamichi**
Makishima-san!
**[08:25] Makishima**
Sakamichi!
**[08:27] Sakamichi**
He's here. He came to watch the finish.
**[08:33] Sakamichi**
To watch us.
**[08:35] Sakamichi**
Makishima-san!
**[08:39] Makishima**
Why do you always ride so hard?
**[08:44] Makishima**
Why are you always straight as an arrow?
**[08:54] Makishima**
Move!
**[08:55] Makishima**
What am I doing?
**[08:56] Makishima**
I was planning on calmly
watching him from above,
**[09:00] Makishima**
so why am I running?
**[09:05] Makishima**
Out of the way!
**[09:07] Makishima**
You've always made dreams come true.
**[09:11] Makishima**
When you won your first-year race...
**[09:15] Makishima**
When you dropped back to help
Tadokorocchi at the Inter-High...
**[09:22] Makishima**
When you won...
**[09:24] Makishima**
You always said the same thing.
**[09:27] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
Thank you so much.
**[09:30] Makishima**
I should be thanking you.
**[09:34] Makishima**
For catching up on
Mt. Hakone at the Inter-High...
**[09:38] Makishima**
For being a climber to begin with...
**[09:41] Makishima**
And for all the letters you sent
me since I left for England.

Someone jumped onto the barrier!
**[09:58] Fan K**
He's leaning so far over!
**[10:00] Makishima**
I am Makishima Yusuke, the man
who speaks through his bike.
**[10:05] Makishima**
I'm not clever with words.
**[10:07] Makishima**
So I'll tell you the words
I once told you on Minegayama.
**[10:14] Makishima**
Sakamichi!
**[10:16] Makishima**
I'm always riding with you!
**[10:20] Makishima**
So pass me, Sakamichi!
**[10:27] Sakamichi**
Makishima-san...
**[10:29] Sakamichi**
Yes, sir!
**[10:33] Makishima**
Back then, you, Imaizumi, and Naruko
wanted to surpass your seniors.
**[10:41] Makishima**
You were so passionate and focused.
**[10:45] Makishima**
You even challenged me to a race.
**[10:50] Makishima**
When you said those words,
I secretly thought you'd grown.
**[11:00] Makishima**
Go, Sakamichi. I won't ask if you won.
**[11:04] Makishima**
You've got just over 400 meters to go.
**[11:07] Makishima**
Whatever strength you've got left...
**[11:11] Makishima**
Give it all!
**[11:15] Makishima**
I'm always riding in front of you.
**[11:18] Makishima**
So pass me.
**[11:21] Sakamichi**
I've finally realized something.
**[11:25] Sakamichi**
You're always ahead of me.
**[11:27] Sakamichi**
I've always imagined I could see the
coolest rider in the world as I rode.
**[11:38] Makishima**
Can you pass me, Sakamichi?
**[11:45] Sakamichi**
Yes, sir. Thank you.
**[11:53] Sakamichi**
Makishima-san, Makishima-san, Makishima-san!
***SIGN*** Sohoku Bicycle Racing Club
**[12:01] Sakamichi**
One year ago, right after
the Inter-High ended,
**[12:07] Sakamichi**
we were discussing how we'd like
to surpass the third-years.
**[12:13] Sakamichi**
In that moment, for the first time in
my life, I wanted to surpass someone.
**[12:23] Sakamichi**
Makishima-san, it hasn't been all
sunshine and roses since then,
**[12:29] Sakamichi**
but I think I've gotten closer
to you by practicing really hard.
**[12:40] Makishima**
What's the matter, Sakamichi?
**[12:43] Makishima**
Don't hold back.
**[12:46] Makishima**
Pass me.
**[13:03] Sakamichi**
Thank you.
**[13:10] Makishima**
You've gotten stronger, Sakamichi.
***SIGN*** Yowamushi Pedal

**[13:34] Fan N**
350 meters remain until the
third day's finish line!
**[13:39] Fan O**
He caught up to the leader,
Hakone Academy's Manami!
**[13:47] Manami**
You got me. I thought the
race was already over.
**[13:53] Manami**
Honestly, I thought I had it in the bag.
**[13:56] Manami**
I thought you'd already
given everything you had.
**[13:59] Manami**
Where were you hiding that strength?
**[14:03] Sakamichi**
This strength was given to me by my friends.
**[14:12] Sakamichi**
By my juniors.
**[14:14] Sakamichi**
By my seniors.
**[14:16] Sakamichi**
By all kinds of people.
**[14:18] Sakamichi**
It was given to me on the way here,
along with all their hopes.
**[14:24] Manami**
Oh, really? I see.
**[14:27] Manami**
You mean you're always growing with
help from all kinds of people?
**[14:33] Manami**
That you're continuously
and endlessly improving?
**[14:37] Manami**
Sounds like you.
You intrigue me, Sakamichi-kun.
**[14:41] Sakamichi**
Manami-kun!
**[14:44] Manami**
Shall we begin?
**[14:47] Manami**
Our final race.
**[14:49] Manami**
Our battle to that yellow gate.
**[14:52] Manami**
There are 300 meters left.
**[15:03] Manami**
Let's give everything we've got.
**[15:06] Manami**
I'm going all out.

Hakone Academy and Sohoku are going all out!
**[15:30] Fan R**
Whoa, his handlebars are hitting the barrier!
**[15:34] Manami**
You keep getting stronger.
**[15:38] Manami**
Honestly, like I said earlier, I thought
the race had already been decided.
**[15:43] Manami**
But I was also a little sad about it.
**[15:47] Manami**
It would've been a disappointing end.
**[15:50] Manami**
I'm glad you caught up.
**[15:55] Manami**
It would've been a waste otherwise.
**[15:57] Manami**
We won't get another chance to
push ourselves to the limit.

"You did well. You're both winners."
**[18:33] Kinjou**
But they know that won't happen.
**[18:37] Kinjou**
They're prepared for that.

After this, one of them will win,

**[19:59] Manami**
I just have to pedal
100 meters to the finish line.
**[20:07] Sakamichi**
There's a gap.

It's small, but it's huge here.

I feel like my bones and
muscles are going to shatter.

It's strange, though. It's an odd sensation.
**[21:14] Sakamichi**
Logically, I know...

It's unfortunate, but...
**[03:57] Teshima**
Onoda, do you believe in miracles?
**[04:01] Teshima**
The mountain tag slipped through my grasp.
**[04:06] Teshima**
But you can only ever choose one path.
**[04:10] Teshima**
When you guys caught up to
me then, I had two options.
**[04:18] Teshima**
One was to have Onoda to pull me and
defend the mountain result title,
**[04:22] Teshima**
while asking Naruko and Imaizumi
to take the finish line.
**[04:25] Teshima**
The other was to give up

**[09:14] Danchiku**
The way he pedaled through the pain
just before the finish line...
**[09:19] Danchiku**
I probably couldn't do that.
**[09:23] Danchiku**
Onoda-san is truly amazing.
**[09:27] Announce**
They're coming into view now.
**[09:28] Announce**
The race for third seems to be between
Sohoku and Hakone Academy, as well.
**[09:33] Announce**
Will it be Sohoku second-year Imaizumi
or Hakone Academy third-year Kuroda
**[09:37] Announce**
who seizes a spot on the winner's podium?
**[09:40] Kuroda**
Sohoku snatched victory
away from us at the end again.
**[09:44] Announce**
Kuroda is pulling ahead of Imaizumi.
**[09:47] Announce**
In third place is Hakone
Academy's Kuroda Yukinari!
***SIGN*** Inter-High Road Race
**[09:51] Announce**
He casually zips up his jersey
as he crosses the finish line!
**[09:54] Kuroda**
Sohoku's Four Eyes, Onoda Sakamichi,
beat Manami twice.
**[10:01] Kuroda**
Fukutomi-san once said he grows during races.
**[10:07] Kuroda**
I wasn't expecting this much growth, though.
**[10:09] Kuroda**
I miscalculated.
**[10:11] Kuroda**
Sorry, Manami.
**[10:13] Announce**
Slightly behind him, Sohoku High School's
Imaizumi finishes in fourth place.
**[10:22] Imaizumi**
Onoda!
**[10:40] Sakamichi**
Imaizumi-kun!
**[10:46] Imaizumi**
You didn't need to get up.
Don't push yourself.
**[10:52] Imaizumi**
You did well, Sakamichi.
**[10:55] Imaizumi**
It must've been tough.
**[10:57] Imaizumi**
After all, it was your second time.
**[10:58] Sakamichi**
Yeah. I really feel like
I gave everything I had.
**[11:05] Imaizumi**
I'm sorry for asking you to
do this twice, Sakamichi.
**[11:09] Sakamichi**
I'm sorry we couldn't
pull off a one-two finish.
**[11:12] Imaizumi**
That was forever ago.
**[11:14] Imaizumi**
It's not your fault. You did plenty.
**[11:17] Imaizumi**
Thank you.
**[11:19] Sakamichi**
At the very end, when Manami-kun
pulled ahead of me...
**[11:25] Sakamichi**
When I was struggling,
I saw a mirage for a moment.
**[11:28] Sakamichi**
The whole team was waiting
for me beneath the goal gate.
**[11:34] Sakamichi**
I saw you.
**[11:38] Imaizumi**
That probably wasn't a mirage that you saw.
**[11:43] Imaizumi**
Bicycles have that power.
**[11:47] Aya**
Oh, right. Who's finishing next?
**[11:51] Aya**
I gotta get their bottles and towels.
**[11:55] Miki**
You don't need to do that, Aya-chan.
**[11:58] Miki**
They all gave everything they had.
**[12:02] Miki**
It must've been difficult.
**[12:06] Miki**
This year Onoda-kun and Imaizumi-kun
**[12:09] Miki**
are the only members of Team
Sohoku completing the race.

It wasn't clear who would
win until the very end.
**[12:33] Announce**
But Sohoku pushed
just a little bit harder.
**[12:37] Teshima**
Onoda... Onoda...
**[12:40] Teshima**
Onoda... Onoda...
**[12:42] Teshima**
Seriously, well done.
**[12:45] Teshima**
I'm sorry for making you take on
such difficult jobs all the time.
**[12:52] Teshima**
I've been wanting to see
how fast you'd become
**[12:56] Teshima**
ever since that day I gave you those shoes.
**[12:59] Teshima**
But I never imagined you'd
take me all the way here.
**[13:07] Teshima**
I once thought about quitting
bicycle racing in middle school.
**[13:11] Teshima**
I started riding again when I met Aoyagi.
**[13:16] Teshima**
I lost my chance to go to the Inter-High
after you guys beat us at the training camp.
**[13:22] Teshima**
I finally won a ticket to the Inter-High
as a third-year after beating Koga
**[13:25] Teshima**
when we couldn't settle on a lineup.
**[13:30] Teshima**
Taking over as captain for a championship
team was a heavy responsibility.
**[13:35] Teshima**
I had a hard time with it.
I certainly wasn't strong,
**[13:39] Teshima**
but I can say this proudly now.
**[13:47] Teshima**
I'm glad I kept riding.
**[13:51] Teshima**
But I'm sorry, Onoda... Imaizumi.
**[13:54] Teshima**
I don't think I'll be able to
attend the award ceremony.
**[13:57] Teshima**
I'm counting on you guys.
**[13:59] Kaburagi**
Teshima-san!
**[14:01] Teshima**
Kaburagi?
**[14:03] Kaburagi**
We're going to the award ceremony.
**[14:06] Teshima**
You came in *that* way?
**[14:07] Kaburagi**
The race staff were considerate
enough to give us a ride.
**[14:13] Kaburagi**
Step on the clutch, driver!
**[14:16] Aoyagi**
It's the "gas," not the "clutch."
**[14:18] Kaburagi**
Come on! Step on it!
**[14:20] Teshima**
He's rather intense.
**[14:21] Kaburagi**
**[14:23] Aoyagi**
Junta...
**[14:24] Teshima**
Aoyagi...
**[14:27] Naruko**
Hey!
**[14:30] Naruko**
Thanks for givin' me a ride
again this year, driver!
**[14:33] Driver**
Oh, you're that boy from last year.
**[14:37] Naruko**
Could you step on it again this year?
**[14:52] Fan**
Someone's coming.
**[14:54] Announce**
The next rider to arrive is the race's
tallest competitor at 202 centimeters tall,
**[15:00] Announce**
#11, Ashikiba Takuto.
**[15:03] Announce**
He's just crossed the finish line.
**[15:05] Announce**
He is the winner of the
third day's mountain tag.
**[15:10] Fan D**
Huh? He's already wearing a red mountain tag.
**[15:14] Fan E**
Ashikiba won the mountains yesterday, too.
**[15:18] Fan E**
In other words, he won it two days in a row.
**[15:21] Fan D**
What? But didn't he win the first day, too?
**[15:24] Fan D**
Wow, he won a tag every day?
**[15:27] Fan**
Ashikiba-kun!
**[15:30] Ashikiba**
King of the Mountains...
**[15:32] Ashikiba**
Today's tag belongs to
the both of us, Jun-chan.
**[15:38] Announce**
Next to finish is another
Hakone Academy rider.
**[15:42] Fan E**
He won two tags in a row, too.
**[15:44] Fan D**
What?
**[15:45] Announce**
#14, Hakone Academy Captain
Izumida Touichirou.
**[15:50] Announce**
He's won the third day's green sprint tag.
**[15:54] Fan D**
But I thought they crossed
today's sprint line as a group.
**[15:58] Fan E**
They get ranked regardless.
**[16:00] Fan E**
Izumida crossed the line fourth,
**[16:03] Fan E**
but the three riders before him
dropped out, so he won it instead.
**[16:07] Fan E**
That means Hakone Academy won the
third day's mountain and sprint tags.
**[16:16] Izumida**
You lost the finish line
to him again, Manami.
**[16:23] Izumida**
I heard you swore to Fukutomi-san
**[16:25] Izumida**
that you'd get revenge next
year after last year's race.
**[16:29] Izumida**
I know how hard you've worked this past year
**[16:32] Izumida**
through the frustration
and heavy responsibility.
**[16:36] Izumida**
You took on so much and did well.
**[16:40] Izumida**
But I never once praised you.
**[16:44] Izumida**
As your captain, I didn't want
to undermine your determination.
**[16:51] Izumida**
No, perhaps I saw myself in you.
**[16:59] Izumida**
We're the only two members who
know last year's frustration.
**[17:09] Izumida**
I expected no praise from anyone
as I rode this past year.
**[17:13] Izumida**
I did everything I could, prayed for success,
**[17:16] Izumida**
and grew out my hair for my last Inter-High.
**[17:19] Izumida**
Manami, you did well.
**[17:25] Izumida**
I'll praise you once we're back at our tent.
**[17:28] Izumida**
For this year.
**[17:30] Izumida**
For the distance you traveled to get here.
**[17:37] Kaburagi**

You're awfully lively for

The dumber they are, the quicker they heal.
**[17:53] Kaburagi**
The award ceremony can't get started
without super rookie Kaburagi Issa.

The award ceremony will begin shortly.
**[18:02] Announce**

**[18:07] Announce**
Once again, the award
ceremony will begin shortly.
**[18:14] Arakita**
There you are.
**[18:16] Arakita**
Kuroda's looking for you, oddball.
**[18:20] Manami**
Arakita-san, you came?
**[18:25] Arakita**
I thought you'd be crying like last year,
but it looks like you're doing all right.
**[18:31] Manami**
I'm sorry. I lost again this year.
**[18:35] Arakita**
I already graduated.
I'm not on the team anymore.
**[18:38] Arakita**
You've got no reason to apologize to me.
**[18:43] Arakita**
You couldn't get revenge, huh?
**[18:48] Manami**
No. He'd gotten even
stronger than I expected.
**[18:54] Manami**
No, maybe he became stronger in that moment.
**[18:59] Manami**
He exceeded my expectations.
**[19:02] Manami**
Most of the time he doesn't
seem strong at all.
**[19:06] Arakita**
You're actually pretty similar.
**[19:10] Arakita**
Well, you know, in reality,
it's always hard to turn things around.
**[19:15] Arakita**
My seniors laughed at me when
I said I'd ride in the Inter-High.
**[19:19] Arakita**
I finally made it after three years.
**[19:22] Arakita**
Sometimes no matter how hard you struggle,
you can't make any progress.
**[19:26] Arakita**
But eventually, an opportunity comes around.
**[19:30] Manami**
Are you trying to cheer me up?
**[19:32] Manami**
Is that why you came here?
**[19:35] Arakita**
What?
**[19:38] Arakita**
Yeah, that's right.
**[19:41] Arakita**
When you were carrying Hakone Academy on
your back as you raced for the finish line,
**[19:47] Arakita**
you were freakin' awesome.
**[19:52] Manami**
Please, Arakita-san.
**[19:55] Manami**
Since I went all-out this year, I decided
I wouldn't cry whether I won or lost.
**[20:04] Manami**
Thank you.
**[20:10] Official**
Huh? There was a rider sleeping in here...
**[20:14] Official**
Did he go to the bathroom?
**[20:19] Kaburagi**
**[20:19] Miki**
I found the spare jersey.
**[20:22] Naruko**
Thanks. Mine got ripped up 'cause I fell.
**[20:25] Official C**
This way, please.
**[20:27] Sakamichi**
Okay.
**[20:32] Teshima**
I can hear the crowd's cheers.
**[20:36] Teshima**
I'm about to climb up
there on my own two legs.
**[20:40] Teshima**
Onto a podium I've never stood on before.
**[20:44] Sakamichi**
U-Um, I'm really glad that you
all made it to the ceremony.
**[20:51] Sakamichi**
So that all six of us will be going up together.
**[20:53] Aoyagi**
Yeah.
**[20:54] Imaizumi**
Totally.
**[21:00] Teshima**
Thank you, Onoda.
**[21:04] Teshima**
For taking our Sohoku to those heights again.
**[21:09] Sakamichi**
Oh, no. I couldn't have done without all of you.
**[21:14] Sakamichi**
I won because of you.
**[21:17] Sakamichi**
Thank you.
**[21:26] Imaizumi**
Teshima-san...
**[21:28] Imaizumi**
In that moment,
**[21:30] Imaizumi**
past the mountain gate,
you sent us off without hesitation.
**[21:36] Imaizumi**
You gave no sign of wanting to defend
your own mountain result title.
**[21:41] Imaizumi**
Your resolve lit a fire in us.
**[21:47] Imaizumi**
We got our team's jersey to the finish line
**[21:50] Imaizumi**
despite the struggle because
of you, Teshima-san.
**[21:52] Teshima**
You're giving me too much credit, Imaizumi.
