**[00:04] Mom**
You've been keeping secrets
from me, Sakamichi!
**[00:06] Sakamichi**
B-But, mom, I've explained it so many times.
**[00:11] Mom**
You took your bike all the way to Mt. Fuji!
**[00:14] Sakamichi**
Well, actually...
**[00:16] Mom**
I heard you were going to Hakone,
but nobody told me you were going to Mt. Fuji!
**[00:19] Sakamichi**
What? I did tell you.
**[00:21] Imaizumi**
Excuse me, ma'am. My name is Imaizumi.
**[00:24] Naruko**
Excuse the intrusion. I'm Naruko.
**[00:27] Naruko**
Written "cry" and "child," then "sentence"
and "lucky," my name is Naruko Shoukichi.
**[00:31] Naruko**
Onoda-kun did something super amazing.
**[00:35] Imaizumi**
At the Inter-High, the year's biggest race...
**[00:38] Naruko**
Onoda-kun won the general classification!
**[00:41] Imaizumi**
He carried our wishes...
**[00:43] Naruko**
...to the finish line.
**[00:49] Mom**
What on earth is the Inter-High?
**[00:51] Naruko**
That's your question?
**[00:52] Imaizumi**
This won't be easy.
**[00:55] Naruko**
Basically, he climbed Mt. Fuji faster
than any other man in the country.
**[01:01] Mom**
That is amazing.
**[01:03] Both**
It worked.
**[01:05] Mom**
That's why you slept for
three days after coming home.
**[01:08] Sakamichi**
I was so exhausted, I couldn't move.
**[01:12] Naruko**
Oh, right.
**[01:13] Naruko**
Ma'am, we brought this.
***SIGN*** Inter-High Winner The Man Who Conquered Mt. Fuji Onoda Sakamichi
**[01:16] Naruko**
Onoda-kun's in a magazine.
**[01:21] Mom**
Oh, my. How cool.
**[01:25] Mom**
Look at this, Sakamichi.
This is a nice photo.
**[01:27] Sakamichi**
I'm good. I've already seen it.
**[01:29] Mom**
This is great.
**[01:30] Mom**
I forgot my camera in the car, so I
didn't get to take a picture of you.
**[01:37] Sakamichi**
You were there?!
**[01:38] Naruko**
You were there?!
**[01:39] Mom**
Oh, didn't I tell you?
**[01:41] Mom**
I was watching all through
the award ceremony.
**[01:44] Imaizumi**
You were watching, and you
still don't understand?
**[01:47] Sakamichi**
Then that voice I heard then...
**[01:51] (Flashback) Mom**
Do your best, Sakamichi!
**[01:58] Mom**
Imaizumi-kun, Naruko-kun...
**[02:01] Mom**
Take care of Sakamichi for me.
**[02:05] Mom**
Sakamichi...
**[02:08] Mom**
Be careful, and keep riding your bike.
**[02:13] Sakamichi**
Okay.
**[02:14] Sakamichi**
I'm off!

The weather's so nice.

**[04:04] (Flashback) Imaizumi**
Hey.
**[04:05] (Flashback) Miki**
Good morning, Imaizumi-kun.
**[04:06] (Flashback) Miki**
You're right on time for opening.
**[04:08] (Flashback) Miki**
Did you take the bus today?
**[04:10] (Flashback) Imaizumi**
Yeah.
**[04:11] (Flashback) Imaizumi**
This place is pretty far from the bus stop.
**[04:13] (Flashback) Miki**
But you'd do anything for love, right?
**[04:16] (Flashback) Imaizumi**
What do you mean by love?
**[04:18] (Flashback) Imaizumi**
Is it ready?
**[04:23] (Flashback) Toji**
Hey.
**[04:24] (Flashback) Imaizumi**
Hey, Kanzaki-san.
**[04:27] (Flashback) Toji**
It's ready.
**[04:28] (Flashback) Toji**
Your last one broke during the Inter-High.
**[04:32] (Flashback) Toji**
It's got a new frame.
**[04:34] (Flashback) Toji**
I stuck new components and wheels on it, too.
**[04:37] (Flashback) Toji**
It's your new bike.
**[04:40] Imaizumi**
Incredible.
**[04:41] Imaizumi**
It's so direct.
**[04:43] Imaizumi**
It's like the bike is responding to
my legs' movements without any error.
**[04:47] Imaizumi**
And it's light, too.
**[04:49] Imaizumi**
I'm already at 40 kph,
but it can go even faster.
**[04:52] (Flashback) Toji**
This time I made the
components electric, too.
**[04:55] (Flashback) Imaizumi**
Electric?
**[04:57] Toji**
The wires you've used to physically shift
gears until now have been switched out
***SIGN*** Electric Signal

***SIGN*** Motor

**[05:01] Toji**
for electric signals sent to

**[05:04] Toji**
It's like shifting gears using a switch.
**[05:07] (Flashback) Toji**
On this battery, you'll be able
to ride about 1,500 kilometers.
**[05:10] (Flashback) Toji**
It's not that one's better than the other,
**[05:13] (Flashback) Toji**
but you're the type to manage your
body by shifting gears a lot.
**[05:18] (Flashback) Toji**
Even when you're pushed to your limit,
you'll be able to accurately shift gears.
**[05:21] (Flashback) Toji**
This'll be a huge advantage for you.
**[05:24] Imaizumi**
There's zero delay when shifting gears.
**[05:29] Imaizumi**
Amazing.
**[05:31] Imaizumi**
It feels so strange to have the
gear shift at the lightest touch.
**[05:35] Imaizumi**
But this bike can move!
**[05:38] Imaizumi**
It feels awesome.
**[05:39] Imaizumi**
Thank you, Kanzaki-san.
**[05:45] Imaizumi**
Kinjou-san...
**[05:46] Imaizumi**
I had a range of experiences
at the Inter-High.
**[05:49] Imaizumi**
What I've felt since it ended is that
I've definitely become stronger.
**[05:56] Imaizumi**
I'll become even stronger.
**[05:59] Imaizumi**
I'll go to the Inter-High again next year.
**[06:02] Imaizumi**
I'll kick aside the strong riders who
will gather from all over the country.
**[06:05] Imaizumi**
I will, as Sohoku's ace!
**[06:10] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
Um, hello.
**[06:13] (Flashback) Miki**
Welcome, Onoda-kun.
**[06:16] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
H-Hello. Um, Kanzaki-san asked me to come.
**[06:20] (Flashback) Miki**
Yeah, I heard. Come in.
**[06:26] (Flashback) Toji**
Hey.
**[06:26] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
Hello. Thanks for all your
help at the Inter-High.
**[06:31] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
What did you want to talk about?
**[06:37] (Flashback) Toji**
The chromoly frame out front's the one
you rode in the Inter-High, right?
**[06:41] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
Oh, yes. Thank you.
**[06:43] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
Thanks to you, I...
**[06:44] (Flashback) Toji**
Give it back.
**[06:45] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
What?
**[06:49] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
What? I know I've been
borrowing it from you, but...
**[06:56] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
But...
**[07:01] (Flashback) Toji**
Ride this instead.
**[07:06] (Flashback) Toji**
It's a carbon module cast.
**[07:08] (Flashback) Toji**
The frame's made entirely from carbon fiber.
**[07:11] (Flashback) Toji**
It weighs half as much as the
chromoly frame you've been riding.
**[07:15] Sakamichi**
*Half?*
**[07:17] (Flashback) Miki**
Even I can lift it easily.
**[07:20] (Flashback) Toji**
Weight is key for climbers.
**[07:23] (Flashback) Toji**
Take the next step forward, Onoda.
**[07:26] Sakamichi**
*Forward...*
**[07:28] (Flashback) Toji**
That bike will be able to meet your needs.
**[07:33] Sakamichi**
What is this?
**[07:34] Sakamichi**
It's so light.
**[07:37] Sakamichi**
I feel like I'm floating
three centimeters above the ground.
**[07:39] Sakamichi**
It's so fast.
**[07:42] (Flashback) Toji**
This bike moves easily, far, and quickly.
**[07:46] (Flashback) Toji**
You can really pedal when you need to.
**[07:48] (Flashback) Toji**
It's the right bike for you.
**[07:50] Sakamichi**
The pedals really do turn fast.
**[07:53] Sakamichi**
I might even be able to pedal faster
than I did at the Inter-High.
**[08:01] Sakamichi**
Imaizumi-kun! Naruko-kun!
**[08:04] Imaizumi**
Onoda!
**[08:04] Naruko**
Onoda-kun!
**[08:06] Naruko**
What's your new weapon?
**[08:08] Sakamichi**
Kanzaki-san just gave it to me.
**[08:11] Naruko**
A yellow carbon frame, huh?
**[08:14] Naruko**
Pretty flashy and cool.
**[08:17] Imaizumi**
How's the new bike?
**[08:19] Sakamichi**
G-Good!
**[08:21] Sakamichi**
Since the way you ride heavy bikes is
different from how you ride light bikes,
**[08:24] Sakamichi**
it'll take some getting used to.
**[08:26] Sakamichi**
But Kanzaki-san said once I get used
to it, I'll be dramatically faster.
**[08:33] Naruko**
Hotshot's got a new frame and electric
components, and Onoda-kun's got a new bike?
**[08:39] Naruko**
Looks like we had the same idea.
**[08:44] Sakamichi**
What?
**[08:47] Sakamichi**
What is this sound? Is that the wind?
**[08:49] Sakamichi**
They're thick and huge. What are those?
**[08:52] Naruko**
On hills, the lightness of
your wheels is important.
**[08:55] Naruko**
I think Makishima-san said that.
**[08:59] Naruko**
On flats, your wheel's wind
resistance is important.
**[09:02] Naruko**
They negate the wind blowing toward
you and convert it into thrust.
**[09:06] Naruko**
These are the ultimate wheels for sprinters...
**[09:09] Naruko**
Carbon deep-rimmed wheels!
**[09:11] Sakamichi**
Amazing.
**[09:14] Imaizumi**
Why don't the three of us
go for a shakedown ride, then?
**[09:17] Imaizumi**
Try to keep up, Naruko.
**[09:19] Naruko**
Shut up. I'll be leading the group.
**[09:21] Naruko**
I'll show you just how fast my new weapon is.
**[09:26] Naruko**
Ready, and...
**[09:29] Sakamichi**
Wait!

**[09:52] Makishima**

**[11:26] Naruko**
What do you want, old man?
**[11:28] Naruko**
I'm not slacking off just
because it's summer break.
**[11:31] Naruko**
What? I'm training with hotshot right now.
**[11:36] Naruko**
Huh? Onoda-kun's off training by himself.
**[11:38] Naruko**
What?
**[11:40] Naruko**
Makishima-san is?
**[11:42] Naruko**
Yeah, I heard he was going to college.
**[11:45] Naruko**
But why's he going overseas?
**[11:48] Tadokoro**
His brother's living in England by himself.
**[11:53] Tadokoro**
He's going to help him
while living abroad there.
**[11:57] Naruko**
No one told me anything about that!
**[11:58] Tadokoro**
No one told me, either.
**[12:00] Tadokoro**
We just heard the news, too.
**[12:03] Tadokoro**
Their school year starts
in September over there.
**[12:05] Naruko**
September? You mean this September?
**[12:08] Tadokoro**
Yeah.
**[12:09] Tadokoro**
I did think he was spending a lot of time
in the library since the Inter-High ended.
**[12:13] Tadokoro**
Apparently, he was finishing all
his credits here ahead of schedule
**[12:17] Tadokoro**
so he could go to college there.
**[12:19] Naruko**
What?
**[12:20] Naruko**
Are you serious?
**[12:22] Naruko**
What about the race to send
off the third-years, then?
**[12:26] Naruko**
What about his bike?
**[12:35] Sakamichi**
Makishima-san!
**[12:37] Sakamichi**
Are you on your way to practice now?
**[12:44] Makishima**
That bike seems to be working out well.
**[12:47] Makishima**
It's a good fit for you.
**[12:49] Sakamichi**
Oh, I'm not nearly good enough for it yet.
**[12:53] Sakamichi**
I haven't tapped into my full potential yet.
**[12:56] Sakamichi**
I still have old habits to shake.
**[13:00] Makishima**
Imagine sliding your feet forward when your
toes are applying torque to the crank.
**[13:06] Makishima**
You'll move farther on a
lighter frame that way.
**[13:10] Sakamichi**
Slide my feet?
**[13:14] Sakamichi**
Oh, I see.
**[13:15] Sakamichi**
Thank you. I'll give it a try.
**[13:27] Makishima**
Onoda, I'm on my way up Minegayama.
**[13:32] Makishima**
Want to join me?
**[13:40] Sakamichi**
I just came back from Minegayama.
**[13:43] Sakamichi**
Would it be all right
if we rode another time?
**[13:50] Makishima**
Yeah.
**[14:06] Sakamichi**
Actually, can I come with you after all?
**[14:10] Sakamichi**
I got a strange feeling in my chest.
**[14:14] Sakamichi**
Let's go up Minegayama together.
**[14:17] Makishima**
This kid...
**[14:19] Makishima**
I can't tell if he's slow or sharp.
**[14:22] Makishima**
Yeah, let's go!
**[14:32] Makishima**
You've gotten faster.
**[14:37] Sakamichi**
Yeah. Um, Makishima-san, you're cool, too.
**[14:44] Makishima**
"Scary" is good enough for me.
**[14:47] Makishima**
Sakamichi!
**[14:48] Sakamichi**
Yes, sir!
**[14:52] Makishima**
Hey, Sakamichi!
**[14:54] Sakamichi**
Yes, sir!
**[15:01] Makishima**
Do you enjoy riding your bike?
**[15:05] Sakamichi**
Yes!
**[15:15] Sakamichi**
Lately, I've been talking with Naruko-kun
and Imaizumi-kun about how we'll
**[15:19] Sakamichi**
"surpass the third-years
by the time they graduate."
**[15:24] Makishima**
That sounded just like him.
**[15:25] Sakamichi**
What? Really?
**[15:27] Sakamichi**
You beat me again at the end today,
**[15:29] Sakamichi**
but I'm hoping to get stronger
by the time you graduate.
**[15:34] Sakamichi**
At least, I hope I do.
**[15:38] Sakamichi**
Will you race me again then?
**[15:46] Makishima**
I'm always riding with you.
**[15:49] Makishima**
When you think of it that way,
we can race anytime.
**[15:53] Makishima**
On zigzagging climbs, on straight
roads that stretch on forever,
**[15:59] Makishima**
on overgrown country roads...
**[16:02] Makishima**
Next year and the year after,
I'll always be riding in front of you.
**[16:09] Makishima**
So pass me.
**[16:11] Makishima**
Become stronger.
**[16:19] Makishima**
We're counting on you to
carry our Sohoku, Sakamichi.
**[16:24] Sakamichi**
Makishima-san...
**[16:32] Kinjou**
I'm happy to have served as your captain.
**[16:37] Kinjou**
You endured hard practices
and rode well at races.
**[16:42] Kinjou**
I'm truly grateful to all of you.
**[16:45] Kinjou**
Thank you.
**[16:47] Imaizumi**
It was nothing.
**[16:48] Naruko**
Same goes to you, Captain.
**[16:50] All**
Thank you!
**[16:54] Tadokoro**
We really are blessed.
**[16:57] Tadokoro**
I had an awesome time.
**[16:59] Kinjou**
Teshima...
**[17:00] Teshima**
Yes, sir.
**[17:02] Kinjou**
You're the next captain of the
Sohoku Bicycle Racing Club.
**[17:06] Kinjou**
Second-year, Teshima Junta!
**[17:08] Teshima**
Yes, sir!
**[17:09] Kinjou**
Aoyagi Hajime!
**[17:11] Aoyagi**
Yes, sir.
**[17:11] Kinjou**
You're the vice-captain.
**[17:13] Aoyagi**
Yes, sir.
**[17:14] Tadokoro**
The rest is up to you guys.
**[17:17] Kinjou**
Ride.
**[17:19] Kinjou**
Fight for every second.
**[17:21] Kinjou**
Next year's Inter-High has already begun.
**[17:24] All**
Yes, sir!
**[17:29] Teshima**
Sohoku won. We beat reigning
champions, Hakone Academy.
**[17:34] Teshima**
And at the same time, we became burdened...
**[17:37] Teshima**
...with the weight, responsibility,
and pressure of being the winning team
**[17:40] Teshima**
of the Inter-High.
**[17:43] Teshima**
At the next Inter-High—no,
**[17:45] Teshima**
starting with our next race,
the other teams will be gunning for us.
**[17:50] Teshima**
We must leap past them and win again.
**[17:53] Teshima**
No matter the circumstances.
**[17:57] Teshima**
After all, at the next Inter-High,
we'll be riding with single-digit tags...
**[18:04] Teshima**
Because we are the champions.
**[18:10] Teshima**
Come. Let me see how much stronger
you became during the Inter-High.
**[18:14] Imaizumi**
Let me see?
**[18:16] Naruko**
Interesting. Does this
mean a race, perm guy?
**[18:19] Teshima**
Didn't you hear me?
**[18:20] Teshima**
That's what I said.
**[18:22] Teshima**
To the traffic signal at the
end of this 15-kilometer flat.
**[18:26] Teshima**
Let's race!
**[18:29] Naruko**
He accelerated.
**[18:30] Naruko**
Is he trying to pull ahead here?
**[18:32] Imaizumi**
No, Teshima-san is a strategist.
**[18:34] Imaizumi**
He could be plotting to make us wear
out our legs by chasing after him.
**[18:45] Naruko**
The quiet one jumped ahead.
**[18:47] Naruko**
Their switch was ultra smooth.
**[18:49] Naruko**
Their teamwork is still going strong.
**[18:51] Naruko**
No...
**[18:52] Imaizumi**
Naruko!
**[18:53] Naruko**
Yeah!
**[18:54] Imaizumi**
They're trying to pull ahead
of us with brute force!
**[18:59] Imaizumi**
They knew we'd expect them to
strategize since they're not strong,
**[19:02] Imaizumi**
so they did the opposite.
**[19:05] Imaizumi**
Let's accelerate at full speed!
**[19:07] Naruko**
I know!
**[19:08] Naruko**
Can we close this gap?
**[19:09] Imaizumi**
We will catch them!
**[19:14] Naruko**
I must be stupid. I didn't notice.
**[19:16] Naruko**
I didn't even pay any attention to it.
**[19:17] Naruko**
Now that I get a closer look, their legs...
**[19:21] Naruko**
Their legs are nothing like
they were at the training camp!
**[19:23] Naruko**
Those are the legs of someone
who's practiced a ton!
**[19:31] Tadokoro**
Will the first-years catch them?
**[19:33] Kinjou**
I'm not so sure.
**[19:35] Kinjou**
While they were looking
toward the Inter-High,
**[19:38] Kinjou**
Teshima and Aoyagi never stopped practicing.
**[19:41] Kinjou**
And they've gotten stronger.
**[19:45] Kinjou**
Especially Aoyagi.
**[19:46] Kinjou**
His abilities as a sprinter are blossoming.
**[19:53] Teshima**
Aoyagi...
**[19:55] Teshima**
What percent are you at right now?
**[19:56] Aoyagi**
70%.
**[19:58] Teshima**
Then let's go to 100% for the last two
kilometers and pull ahead of them.
**[20:03] Aoyagi**
Got it.
**[20:20] Teshima**
What's wrong, Naruko?
**[20:21] Teshima**
Are those deep-rimmed wheels just for show?
**[20:27] Teshima**
Imaizumi, don't think
you'll be the ace forever.
**[20:32] Teshima**
You're not strong enough yet.
**[20:34] Teshima**
We will—Sohoku will become even stronger!
**[20:37] Teshima**
We are the second generation of Sohoku!
**[20:39] Both**
Yes, sir!
**[20:44] Tadokoro**
Looks like the second-years won.
**[20:47] Tadokoro**
Check it out. They look frustrated.
**[20:51] Kinjou**
Thinking they were better
**[20:53] Kinjou**
for even a moment let their biggest
chance slip away from them.
**[20:57] Kinjou**
That's part of road racing, too.
**[21:00] Tadokoro**
But...
**[21:02] Tadokoro**
I'm most worried about him.
**[21:05] Tadokoro**
Onoda...
**[21:08] Sakamichi**
I can't catch up. I can't catch up...
**[21:11] Sakamichi**
I need to work harder.
**[21:14] Sakamichi**
I can't be weak. I can't be weak.
**[21:23] Sakamichi**
I can't be weak...
**[21:31] Sakamichi**
Makishima-san...
**[21:33] (Flashback) Makishima**
Become stronger.
**[21:37] Sakamichi**
How can I become stronger?
**[23:25] Teshima**
It's tea time.
**[23:29] Aoyagi**
Junta.
**[23:29] Teshima**
I almost forgot.

Makishima-san...
**[00:24] Makishima**
*Why do you look so dejected,*
**[00:26] (Flashback) Makishima**
Sakamichi?
**[00:40] Sakamichi**
I wonder why?
**[00:42] Sakamichi**
Lately, I've been able to recall
so clearly the feeling of him
**[00:47] Sakamichi**
slapping me on the back.
**[00:51] Sakamichi**
No, no!
**[00:53] Sakamichi**
Makishima-san asked me
to make Sohoku stronger.
**[01:00] (Flashback) Makishima**
We're counting on you to carry our Sohoku.
**[01:04] Sakamichi**
That's why I can't lose heart.
**[01:08] Sakamichi**
I have to shake off the
past and move forward.
**[01:13] Sakamichi**
I'm taking the lead!

**[02:57] Naruko**
Onoda-kun, you've been falling a lot lately.
**[03:00] Naruko**
Are you sure you're not being overeager?
**[03:02] Teshima**
Are you hurt?
**[03:03] Sakamichi**
N-No, I'm fine.
**[03:06] Imaizumi**
You're always diving into the grass.
**[03:09] Imaizumi**
Are you still not used to your bike?
**[03:14] Sakamichi**
Y-Yeah, that's it.
**[03:15] Sakamichi**
Riding a new bike sure is hard.
**[03:18] Sakamichi**
It's too light, and the brakes work too well.
**[03:24] Naruko**
Can I refill my water bottle at
the vending machine up ahead?
**[03:27] Imaizumi**
Yeah, same.
**[03:32] Sakamichi**
Teshima-san...
**[03:34] Teshima**
Is this about Makishima-san?
**[03:36] Sakamichi**
Huh?
**[03:38] (Flashback) Kinjou**
Makishima is quitting the team today.
**[03:43] Sakamichi**
N-No...
**[03:45] Teshima**
Really? That's fine, then.
**[03:47] Teshima**
It's dangerous to practice
while lost in thought.
**[03:50] Teshima**
Be careful.
**[03:52] Sakamichi**
Yes, sir.
**[03:53] Teshima**
Now that Makishima-san is gone,
you're Sohoku's only climber.
**[04:03] Naruko**
Shall we sprint to the top, like usual?
**[04:07] All**
Yeah!
**[04:09] Naruko**
It's just a 200 meter slope.
**[04:11] Naruko**
That's short enough to sprint up.
**[04:14] Imaizumi**
Don't push yourself too hard.
**[04:16] Sakamichi**
A slope? Climbing?
**[04:19] Sakamichi**
That's right. I...
**[04:22] Sakamichi**
I have to work harder.
**[04:32] Sakamichi**
My power...
**[04:34] Sakamichi**
It's no use. I can't get any power.
**[04:46] Teshima**
Onoda...
**[04:49] Sakamichi**
Sorry, Teshima-san! Er, Captain!
**[04:52] Sakamichi**
You must be here to ask me what I'm
doing when I'm supposed to be a climber.
**[04:56] Sakamichi**
I... I'll get my head back
on straight and climb!
**[05:00] Teshima**
No, it's fine. Let's take it slow.
**[05:02] Sakamichi**
Huh?
**[05:04] Teshima**
The weather's nice.
**[05:07] Teshima**
Does it hurt, Onoda?
**[05:09] Teshima**
Despite how he looked,
Makishima-san was a nice guy.
**[05:14] Teshima**
When we were first-years...
**[05:16] (Flashback) Makishima**
You want me to give you tips on climbing?
**[05:20] (Flashback) Makishima**
Well...
**[05:23] (Flashback) Makishima**
Swing your bike back and forth really hard.
**[05:27] (Flashback) Tadokoro**
You're the only one who can do that!
**[05:29] (Flashback) Makishima**
Oh, really?
**[05:32] Teshima**
He was always kind.
**[05:35] Sakamichi**
I still...
**[05:37] Sakamichi**
I still had a lot to learn!
**[05:41] Sakamichi**
So why...
**[05:44] Teshima**
If you're hurting, you can rest.
**[05:47] Teshima**
Forcing yourself to practice
now won't help you.
**[05:50] Teshima**
Remember what he said.
**[05:51] Teshima**
When you aim for the top,
you learn where you stand.
**[05:55] Teshima**
Choosing your course of action based
on how others see you or think of you
**[05:59] Teshima**
won't get you anywhere.
**[06:03] Teshima**
I'm weak.
**[06:05] Teshima**
Naruko and Imaizumi are strong.
**[06:07] Teshima**
They fought as equals alongside the
third-years during the Inter-High.
**[06:11] Teshima**
Aoyagi and I still don't stand a
chance against them in sprints.
**[06:14] Teshima**
Even though I'm the captain,
I'm the weakest one.
**[06:17] Teshima**
I'm not strong mentally, either.
**[06:19] Teshima**
But I know that.
**[06:23] Teshima**
What I need to do is make up for
those weaknesses little by little.
**[06:27] Teshima**
That's where I'll find my breakthrough.
**[06:29] Teshima**
That's what I believe.
**[06:31] Teshima**
You can rest. You can worry, Onoda.
**[06:35] Teshima**
Even that can be a way to move forward.
**[06:38] Teshima**
Believe in yourself. You'll find the light.
**[06:42] Teshima**
Didn't Makishima-san entrust
his soul to you, too?
**[06:52] Sakamichi**
Yeah.
**[06:54] Announce**
AIR Airlines flight 1602 is...
**[06:57] Makishima**
Jeez. I'm about to get on a plane.
**[07:01] Makishima**
Why'd you have to call
me last minute, Toudou?
**[07:06] Toudou**
My friend's embarking on a voyage.
**[07:08] Toudou**
I thought I should congratulate you.
**[07:10] Toudou**
Besides, you're alone, aren't you?
**[07:11] Makishima**
Well, yeah.
**[07:13] Makishima**
I told them to practice if
they had time to see me off.
**[07:19] Toudou**
We lost this year, but we'll
win next year, Maki-chan.
**[07:22] Toudou**
Even after I graduate,
**[07:24] Toudou**
Hakone will have plenty of other strong
climbers like Kuroda and Manami.
**[07:30] Toudou**
You've only got Four-Eyes, right?
**[07:33] Toudou**
No matter how strong he is,
he can't win by himself.
**[07:37] Makishima**
No, we've got climbers.
**[07:41] Toudou**
Really? Are they strong?
**[07:43] Toudou**
Do they have good instincts?
**[07:48] Makishima**
Not at all.
**[07:49] Toudou**
What?
**[07:50] Makishima**
But maybe that's Sohoku's type.
**[07:56] Makishima**
No talent and no instinct...
**[07:59] Makishima**
So he climbs through sheer effort.
**[08:10] Teshima**
Makishima-san said he could make this
climb in six minutes at his fastest.
**[08:17] Teshima**
He's a monster, but...
**[08:21] Teshima**
I'll catch up to him, even if it's
only by one second, one centimeter!
**[08:26] (Flashback) Makishima**
Teshima, you're a climber.
**[08:28] (Flashback) Teshima**
What?
**[08:29] (Flashback) Makishima**
Tricks don't work on climbs.
**[08:32] (Flashback) Makishima**
Unlike flats, you can't hide behind
other riders to get out of the wind.
**[08:38] (Flashback) Makishima**
Your weakness can't be overcome
with knowledge or technique.
**[08:45] (Flashback) Makishima**
So climb.
**[08:48] Makishima**
*Keep climbing until your legs stop moving.*
**[08:52] Teshima**
I'll do it.
**[08:53] Teshima**
Even if it's impossible,
I'll push myself to the limit.
**[08:58] Teshima**
I can at least push myself
as close as possible!
**[09:02] Teshima**
I will become stronger!
**[09:14] Teshima**
Yesterday my best time was eight minutes.
**[09:19] Teshima**
Six minutes is still far away.
**[09:22] Higashida**
Teshima, I heard the news.
**[09:25] Teshima**
Higashida.
**[09:26] Higashida**
You're the captain of the bike club now?
**[09:28] Teshima**
Yeah.
**[09:30] Higashida**
The team's strong, right?
I heard you won nationals.
**[09:33] Higashida**
That must be a lot of pressure.
**[09:35] Teshima**
Every day I feel like puking.
**[09:37] Teshima**
The first-years are so strong,
I can't keep up.
**[09:40] Teshima**
How's the volleyball club?
**[09:42] Higashida**
Unfortunately, we only made
it to the second round.
**[09:44] Higashida**
Because of that,
our practices are hellish now.
**[09:47] Higashida**
How about you?
**[09:48] Teshima**
It's hard.
**[09:50] Teshima**
It makes me realize the difference
between being made to do something
**[09:52] Teshima**
and making yourself do something.
**[09:54] Teshima**
I was just coming up with the
lineup for our next race.
***SIGN*** Training Sprinting Climbing Long Rides

**[09:57] Teshima**
There's a lot to do as the captain.
**[10:00] Teshima**
Practice, paperwork, and other stuff.
**[10:03] Teshima**
When I think about how
Kinjou-senpai used to do this,
**[10:05] Teshima**
it makes me realize how tough he really was.
**[10:07] Higashida**
Want to go karaoke after practice, then?
**[10:11] Teshima**
What?
**[10:12] Higashida**
I've been planning it since I
heard you became the captain.
**[10:16] Higashida**
Let me hear that Teshima medley again.
**[10:20] Higashida**
I got together the guys we rode
with in middle school, too.
**[10:24] Higashida**
Everyone wants to congratulate you.
**[10:27] Higashida**
You once said you were quitting,
**[10:29] Higashida**
and now you're the captain of
the team that won nationals.
**[10:36] (Flashback) Higashida**
Teshima!
**[10:37] (Flashback) Higashida**
Why? You can't quit!
**[10:40] (Flashback) Higashida**
Don't you like riding your bike?
**[10:42] (Flashback) Student**
We swore we'd win together.
**[10:46] Higashida**
Oh, right.
**[10:47] Higashida**
I invited Iwase-chan from the
girls' volleyball team,
**[10:52] Higashida**
who you said you were interested in.
**[10:54] Higashida**
When I told her about your medley of
impressions, she said yes right away.
**[11:07] Teshima**
Sorry, but I don't have time.
**[11:11] Higashida**
Really?
**[11:14] Higashida**
That's too bad.
**[11:16] Teshima**
Thanks.
**[11:19] Teshima**
Sorry, Higashida. I wish I could go.
**[11:23] Teshima**
But when I closed my eyes, I saw...
**[11:30] Teshima**
...Onoda at the Inter-High.
**[11:34] Teshima**
Am I stupid?
**[11:37] Teshima**
But my heart belongs to the Inter-High.
**[11:43] Teshima**
We'll stand there again.
We are the champions.
**[11:48] Teshima**
We'll ride through three searingly
hot days and stand on that stage.

Yes, sir.
**[12:03] Imaizumi**
Teshima-san's in a good mood.
**[12:07] Teshima**
How has Onoda been doing?
**[12:09] Imaizumi**
He stopped falling.
**[12:11] Imaizumi**
He's still slow, but he seems to
be getting used to his new bike.
**[12:17] Teshima**
That's great.
**[12:20] Teshima**
Little by little is fine.
**[12:21] Teshima**
Let him know I said that.
**[12:24] Teshima**
Little by little...
**[12:25] Teshima**
Little by little, it's taking shape.
**[12:29] Teshima**
With the third-years leaving,
the lineup has changed.
**[12:33] Teshima**
Makishima-san is gone, but...
**[12:38] Aoyagi**
Junta...
**[12:39] Teshima**
Aoyagi.
**[12:41] Teshima**
How did yesterday go?
**[12:43] Aoyagi**
I attacked just before the 200 meter mark.
**[12:51] (Flashback) Tadokoro**
I knew you'd come, so I've
been saving my strength.
**[12:53] (Flashback) Tadokoro**
Pedal with all you've got, Aoyagi!
**[12:56] (Flashback) Aoyagi**
Yes, sir!
**[13:08] (Flashback) Aoyagi**
I won.
**[13:10] (Flashback) Teshima**
All right! That's great!
**[13:12] (Flashback) Aoyagi**
But I've still only won once.
**[13:14] (Flashback) Teshima**
That's fine.
**[13:16] Teshima**
Imaizumi, Naruko, Onoda, Aoyagi...
**[13:20] Teshima**
The second generation of Sohoku is
moving forward, one step at a time.
**[13:28] Fuku**
Hakone Academy's next captain
will be Izumida Touichirou.
**[13:34] Izumida**
Yes, sir.
**[13:35] Arakita**
Jeez, this ceremony is a pain in the ass.
**[13:38] Arakita**
All you need to do is win.
**[13:42] Toudou**
With a man who went through that bitter
experience at the Inter-High as captain,
**[13:45] Toudou**
we can't lose.
**[13:46] Shinkai**
You're a perfect fit, Izumida.
**[13:48] Fuku**
The next generation of Hakone Academy
will led by the three second-years.
**[13:55] Toudou**
Three?
**[13:57] Fuku**
The vice-captain will be
second-year Kuroda Yukinari.
**[14:02] Kuroda**
This year I lost to Manami in the
qualifier despite our promise.
**[14:10] Kuroda**
But next year will be different.
**[14:12] Kuroda**
Touichirou, let's go wild
at the next Inter-High.
**[14:17] Izumida**
Yuki!
**[14:27] Fuku**
Captain Izumida and vice-captain Kuroda...
**[14:31] Fuku**
These two were obvious
choices for their positions.
**[14:34] Fuku**
But I'm surprised you recommended
him for the third, Shinkai.
**[14:39] Shinkai**
He's promising.
**[14:41] Shinkai**
Don't you agree?
**[14:45] Shinkai**
From Chiba Minami Middle School,
he moved here for his parents' work.
**[14:50] Shinkai**
Apparently he was on the same middle school
team as Sohoku's next captain, Teshima-kun.
**[14:56] Ashikiba**
Excuse me, Shinkai-san.
**[15:01] Ashikiba**
My jersey's a little small.
**[15:05] Shinkai**
Second-year Ashikiba Takuto...
**[15:07] Shinkai**
He's Hakone Academy's tallest
member ever, at 202 centimeters.
**[15:13] Shinkai**
Ashikiba, what was Teshima-kun
like in middle school?
**[15:18] Ashikiba**
Him?
**[15:21] Ashikiba**
He's good.
**[15:22] Fuku**
Good, huh?
**[15:25] Ashikiba**
Yeah, at karaoke.
**[15:28] Ashikiba**
His medley of impressions
is truly exceptional.
**[15:32] Ashikiba**
Ow...
**[15:36] Ashikiba**
Heave-ho...
**[15:37] Student**
Don't, Ashikiba!
**[15:39] Student**
I won't be able to get my bike down!
**[15:41] Shinkai**
Ashikiba...
**[15:43] Shinkai**
How would you like to
race against Teshima-kun?
**[15:47] Ashikiba**
A race? I can race already?
**[15:52] Ashikiba**
Okay. If that's what you want,
I'll give it everything I've got.
**[15:56] Ashikiba**
Basically, you want me to
beat him in that race, right?
**[16:03] Shinkai**
No, you don't have to worry about that.
**[16:07] Shinkai**
Someone else will be
participating in that race.
***SIGN*** Meeting In Progress Do Not Enter
**[16:13] Fuku**
Our methods weren't wrong.
**[16:18] Fuku**
Arakita and Izumida pulled ahead of them.
**[16:21] Fuku**
Shinkai pulled us through the flats.
**[16:24] Fuku**
Then we sent our climbers.
**[16:28] Fuku**
Toudou kept Makishima in check,
leaving Manami and me.
**[16:35] Fuku**
Almost everything went according to plan.
**[16:37] Fuku**
But Sohoku faced problem after problem.
**[16:42] Fuku**
Their ace, Kinjou, was injured.
**[16:44] Fuku**
He fell behind immediately.
**[16:47] Fuku**
Their ace switched to an
inexperienced first-year.
**[16:52] Fuku**
We had an overwhelming advantage.
**[16:54] Arakita**
But we lost!
**[16:56] Toudou**
But not because we underestimated them.
**[16:59] Arakita**
What?
**[17:00] Arakita**
We totally underestimated them.
**[17:03] Arakita**
Although I can't imagine
there's any way Fuku-chan did.
**[17:08] Arakita**
I want to say we rode as hard as we could.
**[17:12] Arakita**
It was our last race.
**[17:15] Arakita**
When I hear we lost by
five or ten centimeters...
**[17:19] Arakita**
In road racing, the difference
between first and second
**[17:21] Arakita**
is the difference between heaven and earth.
**[17:23] Arakita**
On top of that, it was the Inter-High.
**[17:25] Arakita**
That's on a whole different level.
**[17:28] Arakita**
And that inexperienced little
airhead didn't understand that.
**[17:35] Fuku**
No, he gave everything he had.
**[17:39] Fuku**
He understood how important it was and
rode with the greatest strength he had.
**[17:46] Fuku**
We lost because...
**[17:49] Fuku**
No, because I was naïve in my predictions.
**[17:56] Fuku**
Number 176, Sohoku first-year Onoda...
**[18:00] Fuku**
A total amateur.
**[18:02] Fuku**
Though his face didn't show a
shred of competitive spirit,
**[18:06] Fuku**
hidden inside him was a determined
and indomitable spirit.
**[18:12] Fuku**
And that was enough to beat Hakone
Academy's greatest climber, Manami.
**[18:18] Fuku**
Manami said he was dangerous,
but I couldn't predict it.
**[18:22] Fuku**
That was only natural.
**[18:25] Fuku**
He was the unpredictable element that
Sohoku created during that race.
**[18:32] Fuku**
That's not something which
can be made on purpose.
**[18:34] Fuku**
But it was the only way they
could take down the champions.
**[18:41] Shinkai**
In other words, that's what
Kinjou was going for.
**[18:47] Shinkai**
Jin-kun said the same thing.
**[18:49] (Flashback) Shinkai**
Do you have a plan?
**[18:50] (Flashback) Tadokoro**
Nope.
**[18:53] (Flashback) Tadokoro**
For us, being connected to
each other is important.
**[18:57] Toudou**
That four-eyes...
**[19:00] Arakita**
Onoda-chan...
**[19:02] Shinkai**
Isn't that why we need to show

**[19:43] (Flashback) Teshima**
Because we are the champions.
**[19:47] Sakamichi**
I'll win. I'll win.
**[19:50] Sakamichi**
I have to win. I...
**[19:55] Sakamichi**
What is winning?
**[19:58] Sakamichi**
Pushing aside everyone here?
**[20:02] Sakamichi**
Not losing to anyone else?
**[20:05] Sakamichi**
I can't do it.
**[20:06] Sakamichi**
I was able to ride in the Inter-High
because the rest of the team was with me.
**[20:11] Sakamichi**
I'm even weak during practice.
**[20:13] Sakamichi**
My strength alone isn't enough.
**[20:16] Teshima**
Onoda...
**[20:19] Teshima**
Team Sohoku supports each other.
**[20:23] Teshima**
Sounds like something
Kinjou-san would say, right?
**[20:26] Teshima**
We can take it slow. Don't try
to do everything yourself, Onoda.
**[20:32] Sakamichi**
Teshima-san...
**[20:33] Imaizumi**
He's right.
**[20:34] Imaizumi**
We wouldn't want you getting
overeager and falling again.
**[20:39] Sakamichi**
Imaizumi-kun?
**[20:40] Imaizumi**
Don't get so nervous
that you forget we're here.
**[20:45] Teshima**
Just climb at your own pace.
**[20:47] Teshima**
Even if you're late, we'll be
waiting for you at the top.
**[20:53] Sakamichi**
Okay.
**[20:59] Shinkai**
* Someone else will be*
* participating in that race.*
**[21:04] Shinkai**
*This year's Inter-High champion,*
**[21:06] (Flashback) Shinkai**
Onoda-kun.
**[21:09] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
Onoda?
**[21:10] (Flashback) Shinkai**
Ashikiba, experience what it's
like to ride against him.
**[21:14] (Flashback) Shinkai**
And if possible, beat him.
**[21:17] Ashikiba**
He was near the front, so I
didn't get a good look at him.
**[21:22] Ashikiba**
Well, whatever.
**[21:23] Ashikiba**
I'll see what he can do during the race.
**[21:27] Ashikiba**
Onoda-kun...

**[00:03] Rider 1**
Hey, look. It's Hakone Academy.
**[00:07] Rider 2**
What is he doing at a Chiba race?
**[00:13] Ashikiba**
I hear music.
**[00:24] Ashikiba**
It's classical music.
**[00:27] Ashikiba**
A thrilling symphony.
**[00:29] Ashikiba**
I finally get to be in a race.
**[00:37] Ashikiba**
Thank you, Shinkai-san, Fukutomi-san.
**[00:42] Rider 1**
He's huge!
**[00:44] Rider 2**
He must be at least two meters tall!
**[00:47] Ashikiba**
I promise I'll beat Onoda Sakamichi.

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

**[00:04] Sakamichi**
Teshima-san, I want to
ride all-out to catch up.
**[00:12] Fans**
You can do it!
**[00:15] Sakamichi**
Teshima-san!
**[00:16] Teshima**
Onoda!
**[00:18] Ashikiba**
So this is Onoda, huh? Wow.
**[00:22] Ashikiba**
You're fast, but...
**[00:26] Ashikiba**
I won't let you win this race!
***SIGN*** Yowamushi Pedal
**[02:06] Tadoko**
Ashikiba's attacking!
***SIGN*** RIDE.04 The Fastest Man on Minegayama
**[02:09] Naruko**
He counterattacked the
moment Onoda-kun caught up!
**[02:12] Sugimoto**
Th-There's only one kilometer left!
**[02:15] Ashikiba**
A race...
**[02:17] Ashikiba**
I'm finally racing again.
**[02:19] Shinkai**
If possible, beat him.
**[02:23] Ashikiba**
I'll win, Shinkai-san, Fukutomi-san.
**[02:30] Teshima**
I'm glad you came.
**[02:32] Teshima**
I'm glad you came, Onoda.
**[02:34] Sakamichi**
Uh, wh-while I was watching you ride,
my body got so hot.
**[02:40] Sakamichi**
My legs wouldn't stop pumping.
**[02:41] Teshima**
I'm happy to hear that.
I'll note that in my journal.
**[02:46] Teshima**
How are you feeling? Better?
**[02:49] Teshima**
How's your body? And your new bike?
**[02:53] Teshima**
Can you go after him?
**[02:56] Sakamichi**
Yes, sir.
**[02:57] Sakamichi**
He seems strong. He's big and fast.
**[03:00] Sakamichi**
But I think I can do it.
**[03:02] Teshima**
He's fast?
**[03:04] Teshima**
Is he faster than Makishima-san?
**[03:20] Sakamichi**
No, absolutely not.
**[03:22] Sakamichi**
After all, Makishima-san is the fastest
and coolest climber in the world!
**[03:28] Teshima**
Then go prove it by beating him!
**[03:32] Sakamichi**
Yes, sir!
**[03:48] Sakamichi**
Makishima-san is...
**[03:49] Ashikiba**
Makishima? Who is that?
**[03:52] Sakamichi**
Makishima-san is way, way...
**[03:56] Sakamichi**
Faster!
**[04:04] Sakamichi**
Yeah!
**[04:07] Announce**
Goal!
**[04:09] Announce**
Just as expected, the first man
to finish is Sohoku High's Onoda!
**[04:13] Fan**
He's incredible!
**[04:16] Sakamichi**
I said "yeah" like Makishima-san
without thinking.
**[04:19] Announce**
Second place is Hakone Academy's Ashikiba!
**[04:23] Ashikiba**
I see. I understand now, Shinkai-san.
**[04:27] Ashikiba**
This is Sohoku.
**[04:29] Ashikiba**
They certainly are strong.
**[04:36] Teshima**
Onoda, good job. You did great.
**[04:39] Sakamichi**
Yes, sir.
**[04:41] Teshima**
I'm not good enough.
**[04:46] Teshima**
I gave too much.
**[04:48] Teshima**
Crap. That was lame.
**[04:50] Sakamichi**
I wasn't good enough, either.
**[04:53] Announce**
Once again, unfortunately,
Onoda failed to break the course record.
***SIGN*** Minegayama Hill Climb Race
**[04:58] Announce**
He was 34 seconds short
of breaking the record
**[05:01] Announce**
set last year by Sohoku
High's Makishima Yuusuke.
**[05:05] Teshima**
He really is amazing...
**[05:08] Sakamichi**
Yes, sir.

The race is over.
**[05:17] Ashikiba**
Wait up!
**[05:21] Ashikiba**
Jun-chan, the next time we meet,
we'll be opponents again.
**[05:27] Ashikiba**
And at...
**[05:30] Ashikiba**
next year's Inter-High, too.
**[05:43] Girl A**
Look.
**[05:44] Girl B**
He's amazing.
**[05:45] Ashikiba**
I lost.
**[05:47] Ashikiba**
They finally let me race again, and I lost.
**[05:52] Ashikiba**
Shinkai-san...
**[05:57] Ashikiba**
They expect me to be the next ace.
**[06:01] Ashikiba**
Fukutomi-san...
**[06:04] Ashikiba**
How can I apologize to them?
**[06:16] Ashikiba**
My stop's coming up. Go ahead.
**[06:18] Woman**
Oh my, but you're a tall one.
**[06:21] Woman**
Are you sure?
**[06:22] Ashikiba**
Yes, go ahead. It's fine.
**[06:25] Ashikiba**
My stop...
**[06:31] Ashikiba**
...was three stops ago.
***SIGN*** Hakone Academy Bicycle Club
**[06:34] Hakogaku**
You gave us a shock.
**[06:37] Hakogaku**
I was waiting at the station with the coach,
but you never got off the train.
**[06:43] Hakogaku**
Please keep your phone on.
**[06:47] Ashikiba**
It was out of battery, so I left it.
**[06:49] Hakogaku**
You left it? At home?
**[06:51] Hakogaku**
You should keep your cell phone on you.
**[06:57] Ashikiba**
Keep my phone on me?
**[06:59] Ashikiba**
That's a good one.
**[07:00] Hakogaku**
It's not that funny.
**[07:04] Hakogaku**
Did you show them your
Metronome Dancing today?
**[07:08] Hakogaku**
Were the Chiba guys scared?
**[07:16] Fukutomi**
How did it go, Ashikiba?
**[07:19] Fukutomi**
Did you win the race?
**[07:23] Ashikiba**
Fukutomi-san...
**[07:26] Ashikiba**
Yes, sir.
**[07:28] Ashikiba**
I was in all right shape.
**[07:31] Ashikiba**
There was classical music
playing inside my head.
**[07:33] Ashikiba**
I tend to do well when that happens,
so I was convinced I could win.
**[07:40] Ashikiba**
Sohoku's first-year, Onoda,
caught up to me in the last kilometer,
**[07:44] Ashikiba**
so I counterattacked and
rode as hard as I could.
**[07:49] Ashikiba**
The race played into my specialty, but...
**[07:54] Ashikiba**
In the end, he passed me.
**[08:01] Ashikiba**
I didn't win.
**[08:03] Ashikiba**
I'm sorry, Fukutomi-san.
**[08:07] Ashikiba**
He's the one who saved me...
**[08:12] (Flashback) Hakogaku A**
Ashikiba!
**[08:14] (Flashback) Hakogaku A**
Could you take these?
**[08:16] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
Sure. Just leave them right there.
**[08:20] (Flashback) Hakogaku B**
He's "the best," right?
**[08:24] (Flashback) Hakogaku A**
You're slow, Ashikiba!
**[08:25] (Flashback) Hakogaku A**
Stop wobbling!
**[08:26] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
Yes, sir.
**[08:29] (Flashback) Hakogaku A**
You're too big.
**[08:31] (Flashback) Hakogaku A**
You wobble so much because your
center of gravity is high.
**[08:33] (Flashback) Hakogaku B**
Honestly, you may not be
cut out for bike racing.
**[08:39] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
Yes, sir.
**[08:43] Ashikiba**
*They're right.*
**[08:46] Ashikiba**
* I could ride a bike in middle school,*
* but I was ten centimeters shorter then.*
**[08:52] Ashikiba**
*It was so much fun.*
**[08:55] Ashikiba**
* But now, even I feel like my*
* body's heavy. I wobble too much.*
**[09:02] Ashikiba**
*Why do I keep growing?*
**[09:05] Ashikiba**
*I can't catch up to anyone during practice.*
**[09:09] [Messenger] Text**
Miscellaneous Club Duties
**[09:09] Ashikiba**
*Why can't I be shorter?*
**[09:22] (Flashback) Shinkai**
What are you doing?
**[09:25] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
Shinkai-san and Fukutomi-san...
**[09:27] (Flashback) Shinkai**
The lights were on.
**[09:30] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
Do you have laundry? I'll take care of it.
**[09:32] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
Since I'm so big, I'm the
best at doing laundry.
**[09:37] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
I'm actually thinking about quitting the team
and becoming a team manager instead.
**[09:43] (Flashback) Fukutomi**
Ashikiba...
**[09:46] (Flashback) Fukutomi**
The only path you should take
is the one that leads forward.
**[09:49] (Flashback) Fukutomi**
What do you want to be?
**[09:55] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
The best ri...
**[10:01] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
Rider.
**[10:06] (Flashback) Fukutomi**
Then raise your head and look
upon the sights only you can see.
**[10:14] (Flashback) Fukutomi**
Only you can see what you're
looking at right now.
**[10:18] (Flashback) Fukutomi**
You already have something others don't.
**[10:22] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
But it's...
**[10:23] (Flashback) Fukutomi**
A disadvantage? Who decided that?
**[10:28] (Flashback) Fukutomi**
You did.
**[10:31] (Flashback) Fukutomi**
The only way to get stronger is to practice.
**[10:35] (Flashback) Fukutomi**
That means training to get the
most out of what you possess.
**[10:40] (Flashback) Fukutomi**
If you hone it enough,
you will be able to see it...
**[10:47] (Flashback) Fukutomi**
Your own style of riding!
**[10:49] Ashikiba**
*Make the most out of what I possess!*
**[10:52] (Flashback) Hakogaku A**
Why is he riding like that?
**[10:54] (Flashback) Hakogaku A**
He's swaying his body on purpose!
**[10:57] (Flashback) Shinkai**
Let's make the stem ten millimeters longer
and raise your saddle five millimeters.
**[11:00] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
Yes, sir.
**[11:02] (Flashback) Shinkai**
What do you like?
**[11:05] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
The piano.
**[11:06] (Flashback) Shinkai**
Good.
**[11:07] (Flashback) Shinkai**
Use that to ride.
**[11:15] (Flashback) Shinkai**
Don't be offended.
**[11:16] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
Oh, I'm not.
**[11:18] (Flashback) Shinkai**
We went to the club room that day
**[11:20] (Flashback) Shinkai**
because we heard you were going
to become the laundry boy.
**[11:23] (Flashback) Shinkai**
Juichi was trying to cheer you up.
**[11:29] (Flashback) Hakogaku B**
The laundry boy won First-Year Race B!
**[11:33] Ashikiba**
* All right. I did it,*
* Shinkai-san, Fukutomi-san!*
**[11:39] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
What? Me?
**[11:41] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
You want me to wear a Hakone Academy
jersey and appear in an official race?
**[11:46] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
I'll do it! I promise I'll win!
**[11:51] Ashikiba**
I was so happy then,
I thought I could do anything.
**[11:57] Ashikiba**
But reality was different.
**[12:10] (Flashback) Man**
He's riding the wrong way! Watch out!
**[12:14] (Flashback) Fukutomi**
I'm placing you on house arrest indefinitely.
**[12:16] (Flashback) Fukutomi**
I'm not letting you race.
**[12:20] Ashikiba**
I'm sorry.
**[12:22] Ashikiba**
I placed second.
**[12:24] Ashikiba**
I failed to meet your expectations again.
**[12:27] Fukutomi**
You're all talk, Ashikiba.
**[12:31] Fukutomi**
I thought I'd get to hear
you tell me you won today.
**[12:36] Ashikiba**
I'm sorry.
**[12:38] Ashikiba**
House arrest...
**[12:40] Ashikiba**
I won't be able to race again.
**[12:42] Ashikiba**
How can I repay them?
**[12:47] Fukutomi**
I thought you were going to repay me.
**[12:52] Fukutomi**
You'd better win the next one.
**[12:55] Ashikiba**
The next one?
**[12:57] Fukutomi**
Ashikiba, we never lose to
someone who's beaten us once.
**[13:02] Fukutomi**
That's the duty of Hakone Academy's ace.
**[13:09] Ashikiba**
Yes, sir.
**[13:12] Hakogaku**
He's crying and smiling at the same time...
**[13:22] Naruko**
Old man, let's settle this today.
**[13:25] Naruko**
Let's see who's really
the number one sprinter.
**[13:29] Tadokoro**
Fine. Bring it on, redhead.
**[13:32] Tadokoro**
You, too, Aoyagi.
**[13:35] Rider A**
Aren't they on the same team?
**[13:37] Rider B**
Does that mean they don't
think we stand a chance?
**[13:40] Fan A**
There's three guys leading the race!
**[13:41] Fan B**
Who will win the race?
**[13:43] Tadokoro**
Me!
**[13:45] Aoyagi**
Me!
**[13:45] Naruko**
Me, of course!
**[13:47] Naruko**
The road racing season runs
from March to November.
**[13:51] Naruko**
This is the season's last race.
**[13:53] Announce**
The Bay Coast Hill Climb
is entering its final lap!
**[14:02] Sakamichi**
N-Naruko-kun and Tadokoro-san
are so fast. So is Aoyagi-san.
**[14:06] Sakamichi**
They're going way faster than
they were on the previous lap.
**[14:09] Imaizumi**
That's because it's the final lap.
**[14:12] Kinjou**
Tadokoro...
**[14:15] Kinjou**
This Criterium involves over ten laps
of a two to three kilometer course
**[14:19] Kinjou**
on closed city streets.
**[14:21] Kinjou**
Their positioning, corner speed, and
sprinting power are important in this race.
**[14:25] Kinjou**
And you insisted during the meeting on
looking toward next year's Inter-High.
**[14:33] Kinjou**
When a team enters a race
with multiple participants,
**[14:37] Kinjou**
normally they pick an ace
and act to make him win.
**[14:41] Kinjou**
But our sprinters are incorrigible.
**[14:46] Kinjou**
All three of those idiots are trying to win.
**[14:54] Naruko**
I'll pull, too.
**[14:55] Naruko**
I won't feel good about
winning if you complain later
**[14:58] Naruko**
that you lost because you had to
lead the group the whole time.
**[15:01] Tadokoro**
You think you're going to win?
**[15:03] Announce**
He's moving ahead!
**[15:05] Aoyagi**
I'll pull, too.
**[15:06] Tadokoro**
Aoyagi!
**[15:06] Naruko**
Aoyagi-san!
**[15:08] Naruko**
So the quiet one wants a fair fight, too?
**[15:11] Naruko**
In other words, it'll come down
to the sprint to the finish.
**[15:15] Naruko**
The quiet one's gotten way stronger
over the past few months.
**[15:19] Naruko**
If I underestimate him, he'll beat me.
**[15:24] Fan A**
The three Sohoku guys are leading the race!
**[15:26] Fan A**
Nobody can catch them!
**[15:27] Fan B**
The Inter-High champions are
way stronger than the rest!
**[15:30] Naruko**
He's putting his effort
toward the wrong thing.
**[15:33] Naruko**
So am I. Of course we are!
**[15:36] Naruko**
This is Tadokoro-san's last race with us!
**[15:43] Sugimoto**
They're so fast!
**[15:44] Fan B**
Damn it!
**[15:46] Sugimoto**
They're leaving me behind, even though
we're all wearing Sohoku jerseys.
**[15:54] Sugimoto**
That's it.
**[15:55] Sugimoto**
They're encouraging me to make Sohoku proud
since I'm wearing one of our jerseys.
**[16:01] Sugimoto**
I'll do my best.
**[16:06] Naruko**
It's the final corner.
**[16:07] Naruko**
The corner comes down to how
we enter and pull out of it.
**[16:10] Naruko**
I'll enter at the narrowest possible angle.
**[16:12] Naruko**
Once my posture starts reverting,
I'll use my dancing to jump ahead!
**[16:18] Announce**
It's the home stretch!
**[16:19] Announce**
It's just 500 meters to the finish line!
**[16:23] Aoyagi**
Tadokoro-san looked after me and Junta.
**[16:27] (Flashback) Tadokoro**
Go for the finish line!
**[16:29] (Flashback) Both**
Yes, sir!
**[16:31] (Flashback) Teshima**
I'm sorry!
**[16:32] (Flashback) Aoyagi**
I'm sorry...
**[16:33] (Flashback) Both**
Tadokoro-san!
**[16:35] Aoyagi**
He taught us to have
unbreakable spirits and wills.
**[16:40] Aoyagi**
He taught us how to fight.
**[16:43] Aoyagi**
That's why I want to show
him that I've grown!
**[16:50] Naruko**
I can't imagine the team without the old man.
**[16:56] (Flashback) Tadokoro**
You're a little bean.
**[16:59] Naruko**
He never yields.
**[17:02] Naruko**
He always shows off.
**[17:05] Naruko**
And he's strong.
**[17:07] Naruko**
That's why...
**[17:11] Naruko**
I'll surpass the old man!
**[17:13] Naruko**
And today's my last chance to do that!
**[17:19] Aoyagi**
That's why...
**[17:20] Naruko**
That's why I have to...
**[17:22] Both**
Win!
**[17:24] Announce**
Eighty meters left!
**[17:26] Tadokoro**
These kids have grown.
**[17:31] Tadokoro**
Aoyagi, Naruko...
**[17:33] Tadokoro**
Carry on the spirit of
Sohoku's sprinters, who keep
**[17:36] Tadokoro**
charging forward even after eating pavement.
**[17:40] Tadokoro**
I'm sweating a lot today.
**[17:43] Tadokoro**
This is your last job, Tadokoro Jin.
**[17:48] Tadokoro**
I'll show them, so they don't win
and let it get to their heads.
**[17:53] Tadokoro**
That in this world, there are
giant walls to overcome!
**[18:00] Tadokoro**
Aoyagi, Naruko!
**[18:03] Tadokoro**
Get stronger.
**[18:04] Tadokoro**
Stronger, stronger, stronger!
**[18:14] Tadokoro**
You have to pull Sohoku now.
**[18:20] Announce**
The winner is Sohoku third-year Tadokoro Jin!
**[18:27] Tadokoro**
That was close.
**[18:28] Tadokoro**
That was the toughest sprint so far.
**[18:36] Tadokoro**
You don't have to look so unhappy.
**[18:39] Naruko**
You were supposed to quietly
pass the baton to us!
**[18:42] Tadokoro**
I did it for you guys.
**[18:46] Tadokoro**
Right, Aoyagi?
**[18:48] Tadokoro**
Say something!
**[18:58] Tadokoro**
Kinjou!
**[18:59] Imaizumi**
Good work.
**[19:00] Kinjou**
You rode well.
**[19:03] Tadokoro**
Thanks, Aoyagi, Naruko.
**[19:06] Tadokoro**
You made that a memorable race.
**[19:11] Both**
Thank you!
**[19:15] Tadokoro**
You're unusually submissive today.
**[19:18] Both**
Into...
**[19:20] Both**
A special goodbye punch!
**[19:23] Tadokoro**
You bastards!
**[19:25] Naruko**
Aoyagi-san, run for it!
**[19:26] Kinjou**
Sprinters...
**[19:26] Aoyagi**
Yeah!
**[19:27] Tadokoro**
Wait!
**[19:32] Miki**
Thank you for three years of membership.
**[19:35] Sugimoto**
We won't get to practice with you anymore.
**[19:41] Kinjou**
We have to get serious about
studying for exams soon.
**[19:45] Tadokoro**
Yeah.
**[19:46] Sakamichi**
U-Uh...
**[19:48] Sakamichi**
Um, Kinjou-san, Tadokoro-san...
**[19:52] Sakamichi**
Th-Thanks for your help. This is for you.
**[19:56] Tadokoro**
Sure, thanks.
**[19:58] Kinjou**
Thank you.
**[20:00] Sakamichi**
I'll send this to Makishima-san.
**[20:03] Sakamichi**
He helped me a lot, too.
**[20:08] Kinjou**
Yeah. I'm sure he'll appreciate it.
**[20:10] Tadokoro**
Although it'll be hard to tell from
his expression if he does.
**[20:19] Teshima**
Kinjou-san, Tadokoro-san.
**[20:20] Teshima**
Thank you for all your hard work.
**[20:23] Teshima**
We'll keep riding just as hard as you did.
**[20:28] Teshima**
Thank you.
**[20:30] All**
Thank you.
**[20:33] Kinjou**
They're succeeding us, huh?
**[20:37] Naruko**
We'll now put on a performance to
send off the graduating upperclassmen.
**[20:42] Naruko**
I call it "Sohoku's Giant Sprinter!"
**[20:47] Naruko**
I'm the Rampaging Human Warhead!
**[20:50] Naruko**
Hear me roar!
**[20:52] Naruko**
I'm the Human Bullet Train!
**[20:54] Naruko**
All aboard!
**[20:55] Tadokoro**
Don't be ridiculous!
**[20:56] Tadokoro**
I'm not a tiny little bean!
**[20:59] Naruko**
Who are you calling a bean?
**[21:00] Tadokoro**
Don't sully my retirement!
**[21:03] Imaizumi**
With the upperclassmen leaving,
we have fewer members to practice with.
**[21:08] Imaizumi**
At this rate, we'll...
**[21:21] Naruko**
What'd you want to talk about, hotshot?
**[21:25] Imaizumi**
You must've noticed, too.
**[21:28] Imaizumi**
It's about that.

**[00:07] Naruko**
What'd you want to talk about, Hotshot?
**[00:11] Imaizumi**
You must've noticed, too.
**[00:14] Imaizumi**
It's about that.
**[00:17] Imaizumi**
Since Makishima-san left and Tadokoro-san
and Kinjou-san stopped coming to practice,
**[00:22] Imaizumi**
we've started practicing with
just Teshima-san and Aoyagi-san.
**[00:27] Imaizumi**
You must feel it, too. Keenly.
**[00:31] Imaizumi**
The huge size of the hole
left by the third-years.
**[00:41] Naruko**
Not really.
**[00:42] Imaizumi**
It's not Teshima-san and Aoyagi-san's fault.
**[00:45] Imaizumi**
They've gotten more than strong enough.
**[00:48] Imaizumi**
But the reality is our
practices have gotten weaker
**[00:50] Imaizumi**
than when the third-years were around.
**[00:54] Imaizumi**
We experienced it firsthand
at this year's Inter-High.
**[00:57] Imaizumi**
Its fierceness, its level, its brutality.
**[01:01] Imaizumi**
At this rate...
**[01:04] Imaizumi**
We can't win next year.
**[01:07] Imaizumi**
Not even a single stage.
***SIGN*** Tadokoro Jin

**[01:10] Imaizumi**
Even the sprint and mountain tags
could fall out of our reach.
**[01:19] Naruko**
What are we supposed to do, then?
**[01:21] Naruko**
All we can do is practice.
**[01:23] Imaizumi**
Naruko...
**[01:25] Imaizumi**
You should become an all-rounder like me.
**[01:29] Imaizumi**
Abandon the sprint.
**[01:30] Naruko**
Hotshot, who do you think you're talking to?
**[01:33] Imaizumi**
Cry all you want, but the
third-years aren't coming back.
**[01:37] Imaizumi**
We have to change.
**[01:39] Naruko**
Are you stupid? I'm the Speedman
of Naniwa, Naruko Shoukichi!
**[01:43] Imaizumi**
Our team doesn't have enough riders who
can aim for the finish line right now.
**[01:48] Imaizumi**
Road racing is a race to
reach the finish line.
**[01:53] Imaizumi**
If you start working on it now,
you'll be ready by the Inter-High.
**[01:56] Naruko**
What?
**[01:57] Imaizumi**
Spend less time practicing
on flats and climb.
**[02:00] Imaizumi**
You need to change your style completely.
**[02:05] Naruko**
I can't do that.
**[02:06] Naruko**
No way. I refuse.
**[02:08] Naruko**
Besides, we're classmates.
I don't take orders from you.
**[02:12] Imaizumi**
It's for the team. It's so we can win.
**[02:14] Imaizumi**
You already showed a glimpse
of that at the Inter-High.
**[02:19] Imaizumi**
You climbed despite being a sprinter.
**[02:21] Imaizumi**
That's not something a normal rider can do.
**[02:24] Imaizumi**
You can climb. You have
the right feel for it.
**[02:26] Imaizumi**
Your body is light, too.
**[02:27] Imaizumi**
You already have a keen nose for the goal.
**[02:30] Imaizumi**
Do it.
**[02:35] Naruko**
I can't.
**[02:36] Naruko**
I can't let the quiet one pass me now.
**[02:40] Naruko**
Sorry, Hotshot.
**[02:42] Naruko**
I'm a pure sprinter.

I'm nervous.
**[02:55] Boy**
I know. I'll use this to relax.
**[03:00] Boy**
Okay, I'm ready.
**[03:02] Boy**
Ready, and...
**[03:03] Boy**
Thanks for the food!
**[03:10] Teshima**
We had an unexpected visitor.
**[03:12] Teshima**
A local middle school student
came to watch us practice.
**[03:14] Teshima**
He didn't realize the door was locked
and pulled as hard as he could.
**[03:18] Aoyagi**
Rice Boy...
**[03:21] Sugimoto**
You're the one who broke
our legendary club's door?
**[03:25] Boy**
Teru-chan, I'm here.
**[03:28] Sakamichi**
He's huge!
**[03:29] Sugimoto**
Sadatoki!
**[03:31] Sakamichi**
What?
**[03:32] Aoyagi**
You know him, Sugimoto?
**[03:34] Sugimoto**
Yes. Can you introduce yourself, Sadatoki?
**[03:38] Sadatoki**
Yeah, Teru-chan.
**[03:40] Sadatoki**
I'm studying to get into Sohoku!
**[03:43] Sadatoki**
If I pass the exam, I hope
to join the bicycle club!
**[03:46] Sadatoki**
My name is Sugimoto Sadatoki!
**[03:49] Teshima**
Sugimoto?
**[03:51] Sadatoki**
My dream is to race with
my brother Teru-chan!
**[03:54] Sakamichi**
Y-You're Sugimoto-kun's younger brother?
**[03:57] Sadatoki**
One, two.
**[03:58] Sadatoki**
One, two. One, two.
**[04:01] Sugimoto**
Go, Sadatoki!
**[04:03] Sugimoto**
Go, go!
**[04:05] Sugimoto**
Strong, isn't he?
**[04:08] Sakamichi**
Th-That's amazing.
**[04:10] Sadatoki**
Um, are you Onoda-san?
**[04:12] Sakamichi**
Yes.
**[04:13] Sadatoki**
My brother's told me all about you.
**[04:17] Sadatoki**
I'm a huge fan of yours.
**[04:19] Sakamichi**
Huh? What?!
**[04:21] Sadatoki**
Onoda-san, you're small.
Far smaller than I imagined.
**[04:25] Sadatoki**
But you're strong. You're so cool.
**[04:28] Sakamichi**
Oh, I'm not...
**[04:30] Sadatoki**
If I get accepted by Sohoku
and get into the bicycle club,
**[04:34] Sadatoki**
I want to become an
incredible rider like you.
**[04:40] Sakamichi**
Yeah, g-good luck.
**[04:42] Sadatoki**
Thank you!
**[04:45] Friend**
I can't believe you have someone
who wants to join the club already.
**[04:48] Friend**
The bicycle club's all set.
**[04:51] Friend**
Miki?
**[04:53] Miki**
Sorry, yeah. You're right.
**[04:57] Sugimoto**
Shall we get practice started, then?
**[05:00] Sugimoto**
We're training on Minegayama
today, right, Teshima-san?
**[05:02] Sugimoto**
Sadatoki's been wanting
to ride with you, Onoda.
**[05:05] Sakamichi**
What?
**[05:06] Imaizumi**
I'm against it.
**[05:10] Imaizumi**
I've been listening.
**[05:11] Imaizumi**
Hey, big boy. Ride this.
**[05:15] Both**
A th-three-drum roller?
**[05:18] Imaizumi**
It's a test. If you can't ride this,
I won't let you participate in our practice.
**[05:22] Sugimoto**
You can't be serious.
**[05:24] Sugimoto**
Sadatoki's never rode one before.
**[05:26] Imaizumi**
Every day of practice counts
for us. We're desperate.
**[05:31] Imaizumi**
We can't give you special treatment
just because you're someone's brother.
**[05:35] Imaizumi**
You have only one chance.
**[05:36] Imaizumi**
If you fail, leave.
**[05:38] Sakamichi**
Imaizumi-kun.
**[05:39] Sugimoto**
But it's hard to balance
on three-drum rollers...
**[05:42] Sugimoto**
At least give him a few chances.
**[05:47] Imaizumi**
Can he succeed with only one chance?
**[05:50] Imaizumi**
In road racing, that's an important factor.
**[05:55] Imaizumi**
Onoda did it.
**[06:08] Imaizumi**
Huh.
**[06:09] Sugimoto**
Well, that was easy.
**[06:12] Teshima**
We can afford to take him to
one practice to see how he does.
**[06:18] Imaizumi**
Yes, sir.
**[06:19] Teshima**
So, how good is he on a bike?
**[06:22] Sugimoto**
You mean Sadatoki? He's fine.
**[06:25] Sugimoto**
After all, I've taught him everything
I know about road racing.
**[06:34] Imaizumi**
He's so slow.
**[06:35] Imaizumi**
He's strong enough to lift a mommy bike,
but he's a slow sprinter.
**[06:40] Teshima**
Maybe it's his form.
**[06:42] Imaizumi**
His form is awful. It's just like Sugimoto's.
**[06:45] Imaizumi**
It's inefficient.
**[06:47] Imaizumi**
He may have been good enough to ride on
the roller, but he's no good on a bike.
**[06:50] Sakamichi**
Wait, Imaizumi-kun.
**[06:53] Sakamichi**
Sadatoki-kun's strength could be climbing.
**[06:59] Imaizumi**
Looks like you were wrong.
**[07:01] Imaizumi**
It's another exact copy.
**[07:04] Sakamichi**
Sadatoki-kun, you can do it.
**[07:06] Sakamichi**
I mean, when you're climbing, uh...
**[07:10] Sadatoki**
Yes, sir. What am I supposed to do?
**[07:13] Imaizumi**
He's wasting his time.
**[07:14] Imaizumi**
Let's go, Teshima-san.
**[07:17] Imaizumi**
If there's anything he's specialized at,
it's being in perfect sync with his brother.
**[07:23] (Flashback) Sugimoto**
Let's go.
**[07:25] Teshima**
Synchronization?
**[07:29] Imaizumi**
Maybe this is how they felt.
**[07:32] Imaizumi**
As younger members join the team,
**[07:35] Imaizumi**
you pray for just a handful
you can use at the Inter-High.
**[07:43] Imaizumi**
Then your intentions just might reach them.
**[07:46] Imaizumi**
It's a crushing, almost wishful feeling.
**[07:52] Imaizumi**
Is that how you felt, Kinjou-san,
Tadokoro-san, Makishima-san?
**[07:58] Imaizumi**
I guess I had hoped for more.
**[08:02] Imaizumi**
Honestly, I'm disappointed
by our current situation.
**[08:06] Imaizumi**
Let's go, Onoda.
**[08:08] Imaizumi**
Unfortunately, we have to leave them behind.
**[08:10] Imaizumi**
We don't have any more time for them.
**[08:12] Both**
What?
**[08:13] Imaizumi**
We have things we have to do today.
**[08:17] Imaizumi**
We're facing the entire country.
**[08:26] Sadatoki**
Thanks for the food.
**[08:27] Sadatoki**
No, wait. I mean thank you.
**[08:30] Sadatoki**
I had fun riding with you, Onoda-san.
**[08:34] Sugimoto**
It's okay. I'll ride with Sadatoki.
**[08:40] Sakamichi**
Sorry I couldn't do anything for you.
**[08:49] Teshima**
Imaizumi, do you have some time to spare?
**[08:51] Teshima**
Maybe about three minutes.
**[08:53] Imaizumi**
Teshima-san?
**[08:54] Teshima**
Go ride with Rice Boy for three minutes.
**[08:58] Imaizumi**
No, thank you. We've already
reached a conclusion.
**[09:01] Teshima**
Are you sure?
**[09:03] Teshima**
Unlike his brother, he's big and powerful.
**[09:07] Teshima**
He even had a good enough sense
of balance to ride on the roller.
**[09:10] Teshima**
But he was slow on a bike. Why?
**[09:13] Imaizumi**
Because of his form.
He's copying his brother's form.
**[09:18] Imaizumi**
Sugimoto's form makes him lose power.
**[09:21] Imaizumi**
Without power, you get left
behind in road racing.
**[09:24] Imaizumi**
That's why he always falls behind.
**[09:27] Teshima**
Then what if his form were improved?
**[09:29] Imaizumi**
Then... No, it can't be fixed that quickly.
**[09:33] Imaizumi**
At the very least, not in three minutes.
**[09:35] Teshima**
Are you sure? Couldn't you do it?
**[09:39] Teshima**
You said he had the power to synchronize.
**[09:44] Teshima**
Go test it out. It means he has potential.
**[09:48] Imaizumi**
Potential?
**[09:50] Teshima**
Imaizumi, isn't that how
you brought Team Sohoku...
**[09:56] Teshima**
its top-class ace climber?
**[10:01] Imaizumi**
Onoda...
**[10:06] Sakamichi**
Huh? Imaizumi-kun?
**[10:08] Sadatoki**
Imaizumi-san?
**[10:10] Imaizumi**
Big boy, you get one chance.
**[10:12] Imaizumi**
Forget everything your brother
taught you about road racing.
**[10:16] Sugimoto**
What are you talking about?
**[10:20] Imaizumi**
Copy that small bespectacled guy's form
and do your best to catch up to him.
**[10:27] Sadatoki**
My idol Onoda-san's form?
**[10:30] Sugimoto**
He should be able to handle that.
Sadatoki's a fast learner.
**[10:36] Sugimoto**
And Sadatoki's watched videos
of the first-year race
**[10:39] Sugimoto**
and our training camp over and over.
**[10:43] Sadatoki**
Onoda-san's...
**[10:45] Sadatoki**
Onoda-san...
**[10:46] Imaizumi**
The pressure changed. Is he...
**[10:49] Sadatoki**
Onoda-san!
**[10:54] Sadatoki**
Onoda-san!
**[10:57] Sakamichi**
H-How?
**[11:00] Sadatoki**
I-I caught up.
**[11:04] Sakamichi**
Sadatoki-kun!
**[11:06] Sugimoto**
Are you okay, Sadatoki?
**[11:08] Imaizumi**
It was only for a moment,
but he copied his form perfectly.
**[11:12] Imaizumi**
He succeeded twice with only
a single chance each time.
**[11:16] Imaizumi**
Was it a coincidence? If it wasn't, then...
**[11:19] Sadatoki**
Thanks for the food, Onoda-san.
**[11:21] Sakamichi**
Oh, it's fine.
**[11:22] Sadatoki**
Thanks for the food.
**[11:23] Sakamichi**
No, really. Thank you.
**[11:25] Sadatoki**
Thank you.
**[11:26] Teshima**
Smile, Imaizumi.
**[11:28] Teshima**
You're supposed to praise your
juniors when they do well.
**[11:35] Sadatoki**
Thanks for the food.
**[11:35] Sakamichi**
Really, it's okay.
**[11:37] Imaizumi**
Rice Boy.
**[11:39] Sadatoki**
Yes?
**[11:41] Imaizumi**
G-Good job.
**[11:44] Sakamichi**
Imaizumi-kun, what's wrong with you?
**[11:46] Sugimoto**
I-Imaizumi is making a conflicted face!
**[11:49] Imaizumi**
I can't do it. I don't
compliment people often.
**[11:54] Sadatoki**
Thanks for the food.
**[11:56] Imaizumi**
Uh, I...
**[12:05] Naruko**
Thanks for staying late.
**[12:07] Teshima**
What did you want to talk about?
**[12:10] Naruko**
Could I take time off
practice over the holiday?
**[12:15] Naruko**
I'm having doubts about what's right
for me and the path I should take.
**[12:21] Naruko**
I'm sorry. It's only a possibility, but...
**[12:26] Naruko**
Could I quit being a sprinter?
**[12:34] Teshima**
Quit being a sprinter?
**[12:37] Naruko**
It's only a maybe. I'm just
saying it's a possibility.
**[12:43] Teshima**
That's alarming. It affects our team.
**[12:48] Teshima**
Tadokoro-san passed on the role
of sprinter to you.
**[12:53] Teshima**
Your abilities leave nothing to be desired.
**[12:55] Teshima**
What is there to worry about?
**[13:00] Naruko**
I'm sorry! Please don't ask,
just give me the three days off!
**[13:03] Naruko**
I'm thinking of going home to Osaka.
**[13:06] Naruko**
I want to return to where
I started and think things over.
**[13:09] Naruko**
I want to find my own answer.
**[13:13] Teshima**
You're not too smart, are you?
**[13:15] Teshima**
You've been too stubborn
**[13:17] Teshima**
to ask Tadokoro-san about whatever's
bothering you, haven't you?
**[13:22] Naruko**
I...
**[13:23] Teshima**
It means it's too heavy a
concern to discuss with others.
**[13:27] Teshima**
Naruko, that sounds just like you.
**[13:30] Teshima**
You can go until you're satisfied.
**[13:34] Naruko**
I'm back to the city where
I was born and raised, Osaka!
***SIGN*** Naruko Snacks
***SIGN*** Naruko Shoukichi-kun
Congratulations on your team's victory!
Celebrating a triumphant return!!
**[13:54] Naruko**
I guess I'll go to where it all started.
**[14:03] Naruko**
I might be able to find something here.
**[14:08] Naruko**
This brings back memories.
It's been six months.
**[14:12] Naruko**
That sign's the finish line.
**[14:15] Naruko**
The fastest guys in Osaka gather here.
**[14:23] Naruko**
I learned to sprint by racing here every day.
**[14:28] Naruko**
They're so cool.
**[14:31] Naruko**
This is where I first
encountered road racing!
**[14:34] Naruko**
My home course!
**[14:36] Naruko**
This is where everything started!
**[14:39] Naruko**
One lap is 600 meters of 250-meter
straights and one turn.
**[14:44] Naruko**
Fighting against and
utilizing the sea breeze,
**[14:47] Naruko**
I used tricks, instinct, and
technique to seize victory!
**[14:51] Man 1**
He's fast!
**[14:51] Man 2**
His cornering and speed are incredible!
**[14:54] Man 3**
That jersey...
**[14:56] Man 3**
That's Chiba's Sohoku!
**[14:57] Man 1**
What? You mean this year's
Inter-High winners?
**[15:00] Man 3**
I heard a red-headed sprinter
from Osaka joined Chiba's Sohoku.
**[15:05] Man 1**
The sprinter Naruko Shoukichi!
**[15:08] Naruko**
Sprinter...
**[15:11] Naruko**
Fast, flashy, and speeding
through corners at top speed.
**[15:14] Naruko**
Racing past the scenery
faster than everyone else.
**[15:17] Naruko**
A world of glorious make-or-break contests.
**[15:21] Naruko**
That's what it means to be a sprinter!
**[15:22] Naruko**
It's the world I admired! The path I believed in!
**[15:27] Naruko**
I can't abandon this that easily.
**[15:30] Naruko**
My red blood is screaming for it!
**[15:34] Kakimoto**
Let's race, Sohoku.
How does three laps sound?
**[15:39] Kakimoto**
I'm Handai High School's sprinter,
Kakimoto Ryudai.
**[15:44] Kakimoto**
They call me the Dragon
of Rokko's Winter Winds.
**[15:46] Kakimoto**
I'm undefeated on this course.
**[15:50] Naruko**
Bring it on. Let's do three laps.
**[15:52] Naruko**
If I fail here, I'll have failed
as a sprinter. I'll give it up.
**[15:56] Kakimoto**
Ready, go!
**[15:59] Naruko**
You won't beat me!
**[16:02] Naruko**
The answer can always be found in battle.
**[16:05] Man 1**
First lap!
**[16:06] Man 1**
It's a race between the red-haired Sohoku
rider Naruko and Handai High's Kakimoto!
**[16:10] Naruko**
It seems like it's true this Kakimoto
guy is undefeated on this course.
**[16:15] Naruko**
He's keeping up with me.
**[16:17] Man 1**
Third lap! One lap left!
**[16:21] Kakimoto**
Sohoku's Naruko, your sprinting
and cornering are incredible.
**[16:25] Kakimoto**
It's no wonder you won nationals.
**[16:27] Kakimoto**
But this is an unofficial race.
Anything goes on this different kind of track.
**[16:35] Kakimoto**
I'll show you why they really call me the
Night Dragon of Rokko's Winter Winds.
**[16:42] Man 1**
There it is!
**[16:43] Man 2**
The Night Dragon Kakimoto special!
**[16:47] Kakimoto**
Surprised? Of course you are.
**[16:49] Kakimoto**
Not only am I fast, but I glow!
**[16:53] Kakimoto**
Like a nightscape of Kobe seen from
Mt. Rokko, I'm worth a million dollars.
**[16:59] Kakimoto**
Why Kobe when I'm from Osaka?
They're close enough.
**[17:02] Kakimoto**
Don't worry about the details.
**[17:05] Naruko**
That's so cool!
**[17:08] Kakimoto**
Now it's full speed ahead!
It's a straight line to the finish line!
**[17:11] Naruko**
Oh, whoops. Calm down.
**[17:14] Naruko**
I'm in the middle of the race.
**[17:15] Naruko**
This is no time to be admiring his bike.
**[17:17] Man 1**
Naruko's fallen behind!
**[17:18] Naruko**
No matter the circumstances, I'll win.
**[17:20] Naruko**
I learned this feeling during the Inter-High.
**[17:25] Naruko**
Move, idiot! The flashiest man here...
**[17:31] Naruko**
is me, Naruko Shoukichi! Yeah!
**[17:36] Man 1**
What was that? Amazing!
**[17:38] Man 1**
He stretched so far ahead
before the finish line!
**[17:40] Man 2**
That's how the champions, Sohoku, sprint!
**[17:45] Daitsubu**
If I beat you, I'll be top-class.
**[17:48] Daitsubu**
Sohoku's Naruko, I'm your next opponent.
**[17:52] Daitsubu**
It's been a while.
**[17:54] Daitsubu**
I'm Nara Sanri Academy's white-hot
sprinter, Daitsubu Takeshi.
**[17:58] Daitsubu**
I'll only turn the other cheek thrice.
**[18:00] Naruko**
Who the hell is he?
**[18:03] Daitsubu**
This is my bike.
**[18:06] Naruko**
That's...
**[18:07] Daitsubu**
They're popular in Europe. It's a track bike.
**[18:12] Daitsubu**
Even the gears have been removed.
**[18:13] Daitsubu**
It's light. It's strong.
**[18:15] Daitsubu**
It's a bike made exclusively
for riding flats.
**[18:19] Daitsubu**
The hollowed out tube...
**[18:21] Daitsubu**
The super-light handles
made for track racing...
**[18:24] Daitsubu**
Do you know what happens
**[18:26] Daitsubu**
when I combine them with my barrel-like legs,
which were made for sprinting?
**[18:31] Daitsubu**
In scientific reactions, when you combine
pure reagents, you get miraculous results.
**[18:37] Daitsubu**
Come, Sohoku sprinter! It's a three-lap race!
**[18:42] Daitsubu**
I'll only turn the other cheek thrice!
**[18:44] Naruko**
Is that your catchphrase?
**[18:45] Naruko**
Jeez, these freaks keep
coming one after another.
**[18:50] Naruko**
But I can tell they all love bikes.
**[18:54] Naruko**
I'm the same way.
**[18:56] Naruko**
So I'll sprint as hard as I can.
**[18:59] Naruko**
I think he said something about purity.
**[19:03] Naruko**
Sorry, but Naruko Shoukichi is a
natural-born 100 percent pure sprinter!
**[19:12] Naruko**
You're pretty fast.
**[19:14] Naruko**
I'm just unthinkably fast.
**[19:18] Naruko**
I excel at straight lines
as I ride with flair!
**[19:21] Naruko**
I'm the prodigal speedster!
**[19:30] Naruko**
Uh-oh, I've gotten stronger.
**[19:34] Naruko**
I'm faster than I was
when I used to ride here.
**[19:37] Naruko**
I can tell I'm using my muscles,
and my speed's on a whole different level.
**[19:42] Naruko**
Did riding in the Inter-High make me grow?
**[19:46] Naruko**
Was it my friendly rivalry with
the old man and Aoyagi-san?
**[19:49] Naruko**
Sorry, hotshot. I can't give up this gift.
**[19:54] Naruko**
My next race will be my last one.
If I win, I'll keep riding as a sprinter.
**[20:03] Midousuji**
Shall we race?
**[20:06] Naruko**
M-Midousuji? Kyoto Fushimi's ace?
**[20:11] Man 1**
Isn't that Midousuji, who won the first day's
race and two number tags on the second?
**[20:16] Man 2**
He beat Hakone Academy's ace
sprinter, #4 Shinkai, in a sprint!
**[20:23] Midousuji**
I came to Osaka since I was bored
**[20:27] Midousuji**
and heard a gross freak in
a yellow jersey was here.
**[20:31] Naruko**
Thanks for the compliment.
Does that mean you came to see me?
**[20:35] Naruko**
Thank you.
**[20:37] Naruko**
My last opponent is him of all people?
**[20:42] Naruko**
It's just another race.
**[20:44] Midousuji**
Since it's a 600-meter track, how does
a ten-lap, six-kilometer race sound?
**[20:51] Naruko**
Sure. It's my last race.
**[20:53] Naruko**
Give me everything you've got.
**[20:55] Midousuji**
It's your last race. Make sure
you squeeze out every last drop.
**[21:01] Midousuji**
But it wouldn't be fun to just race.
**[21:05] Midousuji**
Why don't we each bet something important?
**[21:16] Naruko**
Sure. I'd already decided for myself,
no matter who I was racing...
**[21:22] Naruko**
If I win the next race,
I'll keep riding as a sprinter.
**[21:26] Naruko**
If I lose...
**[21:29] Naruko**
I'll quit sprinting!
**[23:08] Sugimoto**
Imaizumi, you dropped something.

Oh, don't worry. I don't have any
problem with this kind of thing.

**[00:05] Midousuji**
Shall we race?
**[00:09] Naruko**
M-Midousuji? Kyoto Fushimi's ace?
**[00:13] Midousuji**
Since it's a 600-meter track, how does
a ten-lap, six-kilometer race sound?
**[00:20] Naruko**
Sure. It's my last race.
**[00:22] Naruko**
Give me everything you've got.
**[00:24] Midousuji**
But it wouldn't be fun to just race.
**[00:31] Midousuji**
Why don't we each bet something important?
**[00:35] Mob 1**
That's Naruko, the sprinter from
national champion Sohoku,
**[00:39] Mob 1**
and Kyoto Fushimi's first-year ace Midousuji!
**[00:42] Mob 2**
And they're about to have a sprint showdown?
**[00:44] Mob 3**
Seriously? I can't believe we
get to watch that race here!
**[00:49] Naruko**
If I win the next race,
I'll keep riding as a sprinter.
**[00:53] Naruko**
If I lose...
**[00:56] Naruko**
I'll quit sprinting!

**[02:38] Midousuji**
You, the sprinter?
**[02:40] Naruko**
Yeah, what do you think?
**[02:42] Naruko**
This race just got really
interesting, didn't it?
**[02:48] Midousuji**
Gross!
**[02:50] Midousuji**
He's serious. This guy must be an idiot.
**[02:53] Midousuji**
He actually bet something important to him.
**[02:55] Midousuji**
But such purity can only
be found in serious races.
**[03:02] Midousuji**
Gross, gross!
**[03:04] Midousuji**
Fine. My heart hasn't beat
this hard in a while.
**[03:09] Midousuji**
This is exactly the kind of
competition I was looking for.
**[03:14] Midousuji**
Mizuta-kun, Yamaguchi-kun...
**[03:20] Midousuji**
If I lose this race, the five of you
can ride in next year's Inter-High.
**[03:28] Midousuji**
I'll put on a yellow jersey and
do everything I can to help
**[03:34] Midousuji**
reigning champions Sohoku for three days.
***SIGN*** Sohoku High

**[03:44] Both**
Yes, sir.
**[03:47] Naruko**
He's serious.
**[03:49] Midousuji**
Of course, if that ever happened, my head
would split in two. I couldn't do it.
**[03:57] Midousuji**
So I have to win here.
**[04:01] Naruko**
I heard you were lying in the first aid
tent at the Inter-High for a long time.
**[04:06] Naruko**
Did all that sleep leave you out of shape?
**[04:09] Midousuji**
I was just resting.
**[04:12] Midousuji**
I can't do anything if the vessel
carrying my soul is a wreck.
**[04:17] Midousuji**
Thanks to that, I recovered.
Gradually, I recovered.
**[04:22] Midousuji**
Now, I'm even more flawless than before.
**[04:26] Mob 1**
They're coming around the turn!
**[04:28] Mob 2**
They're passing under the fire hydrant sign!
**[04:30] Mob 1**
Their ten-lap sprint...
**[04:32] Mob 2**
...is starting!
**[04:45] Mob 1**
Kyoto Fushimi's accelerating!
**[04:47] Mob 2**
How can he lean so far forward while dancing?
**[04:49] Mob 2**
He's so fast!
**[04:50] Naruko**
Midousuji!
**[04:51] Mob 2**
But there's a turn coming up!
**[04:54] Mob 1**
If he goes that fast into
the turn, he'll fall!
**[04:57] Naruko**
He won't fall.
**[04:58] Naruko**
He rounds corners with
full-throttle dive banks!
**[05:06] Mob 4**
How can he turn at that speed?
**[05:08] Mob 5**
Sohoku's falling behind!
**[05:11] Naruko**
He's fast. He's first-rate.
**[05:12] Naruko**
But I'm falling behind? Are they joking?
**[05:17] Naruko**
They can't be serious!
**[05:23] Naruko**
You going somewhere?
**[05:24] Naruko**
You seem to be in a hurry.
**[05:26] Naruko**
Are you holding back a poop?
**[05:29] Midousuji**
Sohoku sprinter, are you
talking about yourself?
**[05:33] Midousuji**
You're pedaling as fast as you can.
**[05:36] Mob 1**
Whoa!
**[05:37] Mob 1**
What? They finished two laps
in the time I finished one!
**[05:41] Naruko**
Show me what you've really got!
**[05:44] Midousuji**
No, you.
**[05:46] Daitsubu**
They're so fast.
**[05:47] Kakimoto**
What's wrong with them?
**[05:49] Kakimoto**
Was Naruko holding back when he raced us?
**[05:52] Ishigaki**
They're both pushing each other forward.
**[05:54] Both**
What?
**[05:55] Ishigaki**
Both their ability and competitive spirit.
**[05:58] Daitsubu**
Kyoto Fushimi third-year...
**[06:01] Kakimoto**
...Ishigaki!
**[06:03] Ishigaki**
Will you make your next breakthrough in
this race against Naruko-kun, Midousuji?
**[06:14] Midousuji**
That's right.
**[06:15] Midousuji**
This is exactly the kind of
competition I was looking for.
**[06:21] Mob 2**
Sohoku's pulling ahead!
**[06:23] Naruko**
You're too slow, Turtle-suji.
**[06:26] Midousuji**
That's not something you should
say when you're drenched in sweat,
**[06:29] Midousuji**
you chicken-headed bean!
**[06:32] Midousuji**
Fall!
**[06:33] Naruko**
Shut up!
**[06:34] Midousuji**
Fall!
**[06:35] Naruko**
No, you fall!
**[06:37] Midousuji**
Fall!
**[06:38] Naruko**
Idiot!
**[06:39] Kakimoto**
Second lap!
**[06:49] Daitsubu**
Third lap!
**[06:52] Midousuji**
Fall!
**[06:54] Naruko**
I'm not falling, seaweed!
**[06:56] Mob 2**
They're running into each other...
**[06:58] Mob 3**
As they pass us!
**[06:59] Midousuji**
Fourth lap!
**[07:01] Midousuji**
You want to keep going?
**[07:03] Midousuji**
This race is about to become
so back-breakingly intense,
**[07:07] Midousuji**
you'll wish you'd dropped out now.
**[07:09] Naruko**
Thanks. That's exactly what I'm looking for.
**[07:12] Naruko**
Make it as hard as you can.
**[07:15] Midousuji**
You must be stupid.
**[07:16] Midousuji**
Why'd you scream about seaweed?
**[07:17] Naruko**
That's you.
**[07:19] Naruko**
You're long and drift around everywhere!
**[07:23] Kakimoto**
They're changing positions
as they ride with dizzying speed!
**[07:25] Mob 1**
They've gotten even faster on this lap!
**[07:28] Mob 2**
Will this race be a draw?
**[07:35] Midousuji**
Seaweed!
**[07:36] Naruko**
Watching him ride from behind
sends chills down my spine.
**[07:39] Naruko**
All my hair's standing on end.
**[07:43] Naruko**
He's different from everyone
else I've ridden against.
**[07:48] Naruko**
He has no doubts. He's decisive.
**[07:52] Naruko**
It's like he's carving away everything
unnecessary with a knife or something.
**[07:58] Naruko**
He only rides to move forward!
**[08:03] Naruko**
His style has changed!
**[08:07] Midousuji**
Seaweed!
**[08:09] Naruko**
He's stronger than he was at the Inter-High!
**[08:12] Daitsubu**
Fifth lap!
**[08:17] Midousuji**
You've been speaking less.
**[08:24] Midousuji**
After becoming the champions of the
Inter-High and hugging each other,
**[08:28] Midousuji**
praising each other,
congratulating each other,
**[08:31] Midousuji**
and discussing how important
your friends are...
**[08:34] Midousuji**
Are you sure you didn't forget to practice?
**[08:40] Naruko**
You're right. I may have forgotten.
**[08:49] Mob 1**
Sohoku's Naruko pulled
ahead of him in the turn!
**[08:52] Mob 2**
He's trying to keep Kyoto Fushimi in check!
**[08:56] Naruko**
Keep you in check? I wouldn't do that.
**[08:59] Naruko**
I'm the Sprinter of Naniwa!
**[09:02] Naruko**
I always aim to be flashy!
**[09:04] Naruko**
Playtime is over!
**[09:07] Naruko**
I'm pulling ahead!
**[09:09] Kakimoto**
Sixth lap!
**[09:12] Midousuji**
He jumped ahead. Was that
not as fast as he could go?
**[09:15] Midousuji**
That acceleration's the real thing.
**[09:17] Midousuji**
This technique, this heartbeat,
this wariness, this pressure.
**[09:21] Midousuji**
He's no ordinary chicken-head!
**[09:26] Mob 1**
Kyoto Fushimi's falling behind!
**[09:29] Midousuji**
So he's been observing me until now?
**[09:34] Midousuji**
Me? Observing me?
**[09:37] Midousuji**
He's been appraising me?
**[09:41] Midousuji**
And he jumped ahead because
he thought he could win?
**[09:45] Naruko**
I can win.
**[09:47] Naruko**
You were right. I did forget to practice.
**[09:51] Naruko**
After all, our team had a bear with
a giant attitude and body on it.
**[09:55] Naruko**
Because I was anxious to beat him,
I didn't have a chance to rest!
**[10:00] Naruko**
And partway through, a super-fast
but silent mole popped up, too.
**[10:05] Naruko**
Unfortunately for you, Midousuji,
since the Inter-High,
**[10:10] Naruko**
I've gotten stronger not during practice,
but during actual races!
**[10:14] Naruko**
Sorry. That told me everything
I needed to know.
**[10:17] Naruko**
I'm the faster sprinter.
**[10:20] Naruko**
I'll show you just how fast
the genius Naruko can sprint!
**[10:32] Mob 1**
He's so fast!
**[10:33] Mob 2**
Sohoku's been riding exceptionally
fast since he jumped ahead!
**[10:37] Naruko**
This is how fast the genius Naruko sprints!
**[10:44] Daitsubu**
They're starting their seventh lap.
**[10:46] Daitsubu**
There's four laps to go.
**[10:47] Kakimoto**
Kyoto Fushimi's falling behind.
**[10:51] Mizuta**
If Midousuji-kun loses, only five of
us will ride at next year's Inter-High.
**[10:59] Mizuta**
Anything goes in an unofficial race.
**[11:02] Mizuta**
No one said it had to be one-on-one.
**[11:04] Mizuta**
I'm going to go help Midousuji-kun.
**[11:07] Ishigaki**
You don't need to go, Nobu.
**[11:11] Mizuta**
Are you sure it's okay for you
to call me Nobu, Ishigaki-san?
**[11:16] Mizuta**
Midousuji-kun told us to call each
other by our numbers or use honorifics.
**[11:21] Ishigaki**
It's fine. I retired from the club.
**[11:25] Ishigaki**
I'll call you whatever I want, Nobuyuki.
**[11:28] Mizuta**
What do you mean, we don't
have to go help him?
**[11:32] Ishigaki**
He's been waiting for this moment.
**[11:36] Ishigaki**
For someone as physically and mentally
strong as he is to accept his challenge.
**[11:44] Ishigaki**
He's become too strong. No one
can challenge him anymore.
**[11:50] Ishigaki**
Since the Inter-High ended,
his riding style has changed.
**[11:54] Mizuta**
Really? It looks the same to me.
**[11:57] Ishigaki**
No, he's started carefully considering
and treating each practice and each race.
**[12:05] Ishigaki**
He's always been that way,
but it's like he's honed it.
**[12:08] Ishigaki**
Like he's searching for something.
**[12:11] Ishigaki**
It seemed to me like he was waiting for
something to break him out of his shell.
**[12:16] Ishigaki**
He's the one in control of this race.
**[12:21] Ishigaki**
Just as an insect breaks through its
exoskeleton to become stronger and larger,
**[12:27] Ishigaki**
he's trying to shed his skin, too.
**[12:34] Midousuji**
I wanted competition.
**[12:39] Midousuji**
Win or lose... I can't lose.
**[12:43] Midousuji**
Something important.
**[12:54] Midousuji**
Something that's only born
from this kind of intensity.
**[12:59] Midousuji**
This is the shock I was looking for.
**[13:04] Midousuji**
It's time to fly.
**[13:11] Midousuji**
Just as insects metamorphose and
take flight in search of life
**[13:15] Midousuji**
when an area becomes overpopulated...
**[13:19] Midousuji**
To achieve my next victory...
**[13:25] Midousuji**
I will fly, too!
**[13:32] Mizuta**
A battle cry? Midousuji-kun!
**[13:34] Ishigaki**
Midousuji, is this your next form?
**[13:50] Kakimoto**
Eighth lap!
**[13:52] Daitsubu**
What the hell is that?
**[13:54] Mob 1**
He stretched his back straight forward!
**[13:55] Mob 2**
His form is so strange, but...
**[13:58] Mob 2**
He's fast!
**[14:00] Kakimoto**
He's trying to catch up with
less than 1.8 kilometers to go.
**[14:04] Kakimoto**
But he's almost half a lap behind.
**[14:07] Mob 2**
Can he do that?
**[14:14] Ishigaki**
Midousuji...

Good work.

It's no good.
**[14:24] (Flashback) Ishigaki**
What's wrong, Midousuji?
**[14:27] (Flashback) Ishigaki**
I know your time wasn't
good today, but it happens.
**[14:31] (Flashback) Ishigaki**
You rode incredibly at
this year's Inter-High.
**[14:36] (Flashback) Ishigaki**
You're the pride of the team.
**[14:38] (Flashback) Ishigaki**
You don't need to be so hard on yourself.
**[14:42] (Flashback) Midousuji**
It's not a physical burden.
**[14:45] (Flashback) Midousuji**
I can't move onto the next stage like this.
**[14:48] (Flashback) Midousuji**
It's something different.
**[14:51] (Flashback) Midousuji**
Something mental, as well.
**[14:54] (Flashback) Midousuji**
Something back-breaking...
**[14:57] (Flashback) Ishigaki**
You've been wearing those while you practice?
**[15:00] (Flashback) Ishigaki**
Midousuji...
**[15:00] (Flashback) Midousuji**
A race...
**[15:04] Ishigaki**
*He can't hear me.*
**[15:07] (Flashback) Midousuji**
Living creatures only evolve under
truly difficult circumstances.
**[15:15] Ishigaki**
It's fine. Don't look back.
**[15:19] Ishigaki**
Keep chasing after the new form you see.
**[15:31] Naruko**
He's getting closer.
**[15:33] Kakimoto**
Two laps left!
**[15:36] Mob 1**
Sohoku's riding ahead!
**[15:37] Mob 2**
He's going to make it!
**[15:39] Naruko**
It's not my imagination.
**[15:44] Naruko**
He's coming.
**[15:46] Naruko**
Interesting.
**[15:48] Naruko**
I'm impressed, Midousuji.
**[15:50] Naruko**
You still had that much potential left?
**[15:53] Naruko**
But I won't let you catch up!
**[16:00] Naruko**
What is he doing?
**[16:04] Naruko**
He's different. I can feel it.
**[16:07] Naruko**
My fingers are shaking.
**[16:09] Naruko**
What kind of ridiculous pressure is this?
**[16:12] Naruko**
Hey, wait! I'm not letting you catch me!
**[16:16] Naruko**
I'm the fastest, flashiest man on the track!
**[16:18] Naruko**
The Speedman of Naniwa, Naruko Shoukichi!
**[16:24] Naruko**
No way!
**[16:26] Naruko**
What kind of crazy form is that?
I've never seen anything like it.
**[16:29] Naruko**
Has he been...
**[16:34] Midousuji**
Oh, you're behind me now, bean?
**[16:40] Midousuji**
I'm facing downwards, so I didn't notice.
**[16:45] Midousuji**
That's not good. I can't go
fast unless I face forward.
**[16:50] Kakimoto**
One more lap!
**[16:52] Mob 1**
Kyoto Fushimi's ahead of Sohoku!
**[16:56] Midousuji**
You seem desperate, bean.
**[16:59] Midousuji**
But I can see it.
**[17:02] Midousuji**
I can see myself raising my hands in victory!
**[17:08] Naruko**
Crap!
**[17:10] Naruko**
My nose is bleeding.
**[17:12] Daitsubu**
Naruko...
**[17:14] Kakimoto**
Honestly, I want Naruko to win.
**[17:18] Kakimoto**
The way he stretched for the
finish line was the real deal.
**[17:22] Daitsubu**
Me, too. He's a pure sprinter.
**[17:25] Daitsubu**
And the third time's the charm.
**[17:31] Daitsubu**
Naruko, you can do it!
**[17:38] Naruko**
What is this? I was supposed
to pull ahead and win.
**[17:42] Naruko**
But he caught up.
**[17:44] Naruko**
He caught up and passed me.
**[17:47] Naruko**
Why is Idiot-suji riding so far ahead of me?
**[17:51] Naruko**
I'm the one who knows this track!
**[17:54] Naruko**
I'm the genius sprinter of Naniwa!
**[17:56] Naruko**
I...
**[18:01] Naruko**
...always win, no matter the circumstances!
**[18:08] Naruko**
Road races are make-or-break!
**[18:10] Naruko**
You only get one shot!
**[18:13] Naruko**
The are two possible results: win or lose.
**[18:16] Naruko**
I'll give everything I've got
and put my life on the line!
**[18:20] Naruko**
I'll bet everything and put it all out there!
**[18:24] Naruko**
Win or lose...
**[18:26] Naruko**
That's why I'm on fire!
**[18:29] Daitsubu**
He caught up on the straight!
**[18:31] Naruko**
He's fast. We're going so fast,
my nose is bleeding.
**[18:34] Naruko**
Honestly, my heart and muscles are screaming.
**[18:38] Naruko**
He's evolved during this race.
**[18:42] Naruko**
Right here. Unbelievably!
**[18:44] Naruko**
But so what? I'll win!
**[18:48] Naruko**
I'll do everything I can and win!
**[18:52] Mob 1**
He threw away his water bottle!
**[18:54] Kakimoto**
He's making himself lighter for the sprint!
**[18:58] Daitsubu**
He zipped up his jersey to
reduce his wind resistance!
**[19:04] Mizuta**
He even threw away his saddle!
**[19:07] Naruko**
I will win!
**[19:08] Daitsubu**
He's made himself as light as possible!
**[19:10] Kakimoto**
I don't believe it.
**[19:11] Kakimoto**
He's determined to win.
**[19:14] Naruko**
I'm Naruko Shoukichi!
**[19:18] Daitsubu**
They're entering the last turn!
**[19:20] Naruko**
When will I go, if not now?
**[19:23] Kakimoto**
One hundred and twenty meters left!
**[19:27] (Flashback) Naruko**
If I lose, I'll quit sprinting.
**[19:30] Naruko**
I can't quit! Sprinting is my way of life!
**[19:34] Naruko**
My pride!
**[19:37] Midousuji**
Bean, bean...
**[19:40] Midousuji**
You're not a bean.
**[19:42] Midousuji**
You're a chicken-headed turtle.
**[19:56] Midousuji**
I did it.
**[19:57] Midousuji**
If I lost here, no matter
how cutting-edge the change,
**[19:59] Midousuji**
it couldn't be called an evolution.
**[20:04] Midousuji**
But I won. I am victorious.
**[20:07] Midousuji**
I did it.
**[20:10] Midousuji**
I achieved my next form.
**[20:17] Naruko**
In my hometown of Osaka,
on a track I've ridden to death,
**[20:24] Naruko**
I gave everything I had until
my nose bled, and I lost.
**[20:30] Naruko**
Damn it!
**[20:33] Naruko**
I'm always the loser!
**[20:35] Naruko**
Idiot! Moron! I wish I could die!
**[20:39] Kakimoto**
Naruko...
**[20:40] Daitsubu**
Don't.
**[20:43] Midousuji**
Aren't you going to quit, sprinter?
**[20:46] Midousuji**
That's what you said before we started.
**[20:50] Naruko**
Yeah, I'll quit.
**[20:53] Naruko**
A man never goes back on his word.
**[21:01] Midousuji**
Sohoku has lost one of its feathers.
**[21:05] Midousuji**
And they just became champions, too.
**[21:08] Ishigaki**
Naruko-kun might come back to race again.
**[21:14] Midousuji**
What? What does that mean?
**[21:18] Ishigaki**

**[04:32] Fukutomi**
Yeah, Shinkai.
**[04:35] Fukutomi**
We've known each other since middle school.
We've been together a long time.
**[04:39] Shinkai**
It couldn't have been better.
I'm glad I had you, Juichi.
**[04:43] Shinkai**
Thanks to you, I was able to keep riding.
**[04:47] Fukutomi**
You're the fastest man alive.
What are you talking about?
**[04:49] Club F**
Amazing. They're recognizing
each other's abilities.
**[04:53] Club G**
And they're strong.
**[04:55] Club H**
I want to be like them by
the time I'm a third-year.
**[05:00] Fukutomi**
In order to become strong, you must
endure the pain and persevere.
**[05:05] Fukutomi**
I was able to do that for six years because I
**[05:07] Fukutomi**
had someone as strong as you
riding beside me, Shinkai.
**[05:11] Fukutomi**
Thank you.
**[05:13] Shinkai**
It's embarrassing when you
put it like that, Juichi.
**[05:17] Shinkai**
Want some?
**[05:24] Arakita**
Don't look at me so expectantly!
**[05:26] Arakita**
I don't have anything heartfelt to say!
**[05:29] Club F**
I knew it.
**[05:31] Club M**
He doesn't seem the type.
**[05:32] Club H**
But how did he know?
Was it his wild instincts?
**[05:38] Toudou**
No, the team came together because of you.
**[05:42] Arakita**
Tou—
**[05:45] Shinkai**
Thanks for practicing with us.

Arakita, no one could've carried us better.
**[05:54] Arakita**
Fuku-chan, you, too?
**[05:57] Arakita**
Shut up! Stop complimenting me!
**[06:06] Shinkai**
We're on the seaside highway now.
**[06:09] Shinkai**
It's a two-lane road from here on out.
**[06:12] Club A**
Huh? The third-years are moving ahead.
**[06:15] Fujiwara**
It's time.
**[06:16] Club A**
Huh?
**[06:17] Fujiwara**
This is where it always starts.
**[06:19] Club A**
But I thought this was a fun ride.
**[06:22] Fujiwara**
You must be stupid.
**[06:24] Fujiwara**
Today's course has a finish line,
and we're Hakone Academy.
**[06:28] Fujiwara**
There's no way it won't turn into a race.
**[06:32] Club A**
Izumida-san's group is moving ahead, too!
**[06:39] Fukutomi**
Someone's missing.
**[06:41] Izumida**
It's not a problem. He'll be here soon.
**[06:45] Izumida**
Come, Manami!
**[06:47] Manami**
Yes, sir.
**[06:48] Club A**
Even Manami?
**[07:03] Izumida**
Since I have the opportunity,
let me be clear.
**[07:06] Izumida**
You are...
**[07:08] Izumida**
Weak!
**[07:12] Izumida**
You smeared mud on your
school's proud history,
**[07:14] Izumida**
and you failed to win the general
classification at the Inter-High.
**[07:18] Izumida**
You called yourselves the strongest team,
but placed second!
**[07:21] Izumida**
As far as Hakone Academy is concerned,
second place is last place!
**[07:25] Izumida**
How are you going to take
responsibility for that?
**[07:29] Izumida**
Will you reclaim your honor next year?
**[07:32] Izumida**
You can't. After all, you're third-years.
**[07:38] Izumida**
You're graduating.
**[07:41] Fukutomi**
Izumida...
**[07:43] Izumida**
So we will inherit that
responsibility and desire!
**[07:51] Arakita**
Well said.
**[07:55] Izumida**
I used to look up to and chase after you,
but now I will surpass you.
**[08:01] Izumida**
Let me show you our strength by
beating you in your final race!
**[08:08] Club A**
Izumida-san zipped up his jersey!
**[08:10] Club B**
He's declaring war on the third-years!
**[08:13] Fukutomi**
Izumida.
**[08:14] Toudou**
Now you've said it.
**[08:16] Arakita**
Kuroda, Ashikiba, and Manami, huh?
**[08:19] Shinkai**
Nice. We should answer their challenge.
**[08:22] Shinkai**
Besides...
**[08:25] Club A**
There it is! It's Shinkai-san's ka-pow pose!
**[08:31] Fukutomi**
Go, Shinkai!
**[08:32] Izumida**
Follow me, Yuki, Ashikiba, Manami!
**[08:38] Club A**
Th-They're so fast!
**[08:39] Fujiwara**
Pedal, first-years!
**[08:41] Fujiwara**
If you fall behind now,
you'll never catch up!
**[08:44] All**
Yes, sir!
**[08:45] Shinkai**
Go!
**[08:51] Ashikiba**
They're so fast.
**[08:54] Kuroda**
This isn't good.
They're pulling ahead a little bit.
**[08:57] Kuroda**
What should we do, Touichirou?
**[08:58] Ashikiba**
What? That's not a little.
**[09:00] Ashikiba**
They're pretty far ahead of us, Yuki-chan.
**[09:02] Kuroda**
I wasn't being literal. I meant
the opposite of what I said.
**[09:05] Kuroda**
Learn to read the atmosphere, stupid.
**[09:07] Ashikiba**
How rude. There's nothing stupid about me.
**[09:10] Kuroda**
That's what makes you stupid!
**[09:12] Kuroda**
Ninety percent of stupid people
don't realize they're stupid
**[09:15] Kuroda**
and find out from the Ministry of
Internal Affairs and Communications.
**[09:17] Ashikiba**
Really?
**[09:18] Kuroda**
Of course not! It's a joke!
**[09:19] Kuroda**
You should've known!
**[09:21] Ashikiba**
D-Do you...
**[09:23] Ashikiba**
think I'm one of those people?
**[09:26] Kuroda**
I told you, it's not true!
**[09:28] Kuroda**
Who would even investigate that?
**[09:30] Kuroda**
Don't let the name of the Ministry
make you doubt yourself so much!
**[09:34] Izumida**
Are you finished with your
comedy routine, Ashikiba, Yuki?
**[09:37] Kuroda**
For now.
**[09:39] Ashikiba**
That was a comedy routine?
**[09:41] Kuroda**
What are we going to do?
**[09:43] Izumida**
Follow them, of course.
**[09:46] Manami**
I'll pull.
**[09:48] Manami**
I can't lose any more.
**[09:57] Manami**
I can't make the same mistake twice.
**[10:02] Manami**
I promise I'll win.
**[10:05] Manami**
I'll pull until my legs fall apart.
**[10:07] Manami**
I'll catch up to them!
**[10:09] Manami**
Let me lead us to victory!
**[10:11] Izumida**
No, it's fine. Head to the back.
**[10:14] Manami**
Why? I'll pull for us.
**[10:16] Izumida**
Fall back.
**[10:17] Manami**
I know I'm a climber, but—
**[10:19] Kuroda**
What's this?
**[10:22] Kuroda**
According to the Ministry's investigation,
there's another idiot in the group.
**[10:28] Kuroda**
He's aloof, smiley, and absent-minded.
**[10:32] Kuroda**
But he's unbelievably fast on hills.
**[10:35] Kuroda**
To borrow Arakita-san's words,
he's a wonder boy.
**[10:41] Izumida**
Yuki...
**[10:46] Kuroda**
You've been working too hard
since the Inter-High, Sangaku!
**[10:51] Kuroda**
A first-year shouldn't be shouldering
that kind of responsibility.
**[10:53] Kuroda**
Just say there was a pebble in the
road or make some other excuse.
**[10:58] Kuroda**
You pushed past me to attend the Inter-High.
**[11:01] Kuroda**
You didn't win the group F race
that day because you had guts.
**[11:06] Kuroda**
It was your bottomless focus.
**[11:10] Kuroda**
But what about now? The burden you're
carrying is making you unsteady.
**[11:15] Kuroda**
You're unfocused,
and your pedaling is a mess.
**[11:19] Kuroda**
You're a climber, but you
want to pull on the flats?
**[11:22] Kuroda**
You're supposed to be the guy who says
he's too tired to pull when he's told to!
**[11:25] Manami**
Kuroda-san...
**[11:27] Kuroda**
Quit putting on airs and working so hard.
**[11:30] Kuroda**
Are you trying to look bigger than you are?
**[11:31] Kuroda**
Are you an idol who can't wait to grow up?
**[11:34] Kuroda**
Let the others handle the flats.
**[11:38] Kuroda**
These seaside flats will end soon.
**[11:41] Kuroda**
There are mountains waiting
for us after that.
**[11:44] Kuroda**
That's when we climbers can go wild.
**[11:50] Kuroda**
That's what Touichirou was trying to say.
**[11:58] Izumida**
You finally smiled.
**[12:00] Izumida**
Fall back and rest.
Resting improves your focus.
**[12:07] Izumida**
Right, Manami?
**[12:12] Manami**
Yes, sir.
**[12:15] Izumida**
I prepared these for today's race.
**[12:18] Kuroda**
Is it a map?
**[12:20] Izumida**
They're number tag stickers.
**[12:22] Ashikiba**
Wow.
**[12:24] Manami**
Single digit?
**[12:25] Kuroda**
You're starting to act like
a captain, Touichirou.
**[12:29] Izumida**
Ace #1, Ashikiba!
**[12:31] Ashikiba**
You're making me nervous.
**[12:33] Izumida**
Number 2, Yuki!
**[12:34] Kuroda**
Crap, that's Arakita-san's number.
**[12:37] Izumida**
Number 3 is for our climber, Manami!
**[12:39] Manami**
That's Toudou-san's number.
**[12:42] Izumida**
And my number tag is the
one I've always wanted.
**[12:47] Izumida**
The number of Hakone Academy's
fastest rider, #4!
**[12:51] Izumida**
After them!
**[12:52] Kuroda**
Yeah!
**[12:54] Club A**
The captain's group is accelerating now!
**[12:56] Fujiwara**
Follow them!
**[12:57] Izumida**
Abs, abs, abs, abs!
**[13:08] Shinkai**
I thought we had pulled pretty far ahead.
**[13:10] Shinkai**
That's odd. I guess we hadn't.
**[13:15] Izumida**
Abs, abs, abs, abs!
**[13:17] Kuroda**
I see them, Touichirou. It's the third-years.
**[13:17] Izumida**
Abs, abs, abs, abs!
**[13:20] Izumida**
We'll beat them.
**[13:26] Kuroda**
Let's go.
**[13:26] Both**
Yeah!
**[13:31] Shinkai**
Izumida, you know about
**[13:33] Shinkai**
the demon of Hakone that
appears on straight roads...
**[13:36] Shinkai**
Don't you?
**[13:37] Izumida**
Abs! Let's go, Andy!
**[13:41] Izumida**
Frank!
**[13:43] Izumida**
Come...
**[13:45] Izumida**
Fabian!
**[13:49] Shinkai**
Bring it on, Izumida!
**[13:54] Izumida**
My cells are trembling.
My heart won't stop pounding.
**[13:59] Izumida**
I'm about to race against him.
**[14:03] Izumida**
He used to be so far out of reach.
Those days were so long.
**[14:13] Izumida**
Are you ready?
**[14:15] Izumida**
Show me the best you can do!
**[14:20] Izumida**
Abs, ready...
**[14:22] Izumida**
Go!
**[14:23] Izumida**
Abs, abs, abs, abs, abs!
**[14:26] Club A**
It's Hakone Academy's Demon
of the Straight Road!
**[14:28] Club B**
Shinkai-san began his counterattack
after the captain's group caught up!
**[14:32] Club C**
And Izumida-san reacted instantly
with his Full-Body Muscle Sprint!
**[14:35] ---**
Abs! Abs! Abs!
**[14:37] Club A**
They're both continuing to accelerate!
**[14:41] Takadajou**
Such incredible acceleration!
They're on a different level!
**[14:44] Kuroda**
You're a first-year, aren't you?
**[14:46] Takadajou**
Yes, sir. I'm Takadajou.
**[14:49] Takadajou**
I wanted to experience the third-years'
last race and how Izumida-senpai rides.
**[14:56] Takadajou**
But I can't keep up.
**[14:58] Kuroda**
You've got guts.
**[15:00] Takadajou**
Um, what about Shinkai-san and Izumida-san?
**[15:05] Kuroda**
Once we turn right
**[15:06] Kuroda**
at the intersection at Kawazu,
the flats of this seaside road will end.
**[15:12] Kuroda**
Right under the giant sign in front of it,
**[15:15] Kuroda**
there's a white line that's
just like a finish line.
**[15:19] Kuroda**
They'll be riding all-out to that line.
**[15:22] ---**
Abs! Abs! Abs!
**[15:24] Izumida**
Shinkai-san!
Abs, abs, abs, abs, abs!
**[15:26] Izumida**
I will surpass you!
**[15:27] Shinkai**
Izumida!
**[15:30] Shinkai**
Bring it on!
**[15:32] Izumida**
Abs, abs, abs, abs!
**[15:49] Izumida**
Abs, abs, abs, abs!
**[15:51] Shinkai**
I'm pulling ahead.
Will you fall behind, Izumida?
**[15:57] Izumida**
My back muscles are the spring.
They're the biggest muscles in the body.
**[16:03] Izumida**
The back muscles!
**[16:05] Izumida**
They pull the arms through the shoulders
and turn the legs through the buttocks.
**[16:09] Izumida**
They're the source of all muscles.
**[16:13] Izumida**
Fierce and grand! The father of all muscles!
**[16:17] Izumida**
That is Fabian!
**[16:21] Izumida**
Abs! Turn...
**[16:24] Izumida**
Fabian!
**[16:28] Izumida**
Abs, abs, abs, abs!
**[16:32] Izumida**
Abs, abs, abs, abs!
**[16:35] Shinkai**
Izumida, you were a great junior to me.
**[16:41] Shinkai**
You were honest, serious,
and always kept up with me.
**[16:49] (Flashback) Izumida**
Shinkai-san, may I join you?
**[16:52] (Flashback) Shinkai**
Sure.
**[16:55] Shinkai**
You were persistent.
**[17:01] (Flashback) Izumida**
I can't beat him!
**[17:05] (Flashback) Izumida**
Next time, Shinkai-san.
**[17:10] (Flashback) Izumida**
Shinkai-san...
**[17:12] (Flashback) Izumida**
Shinkai-san!
**[17:14] Shinkai**
I secretly enjoyed watching you grow.
**[17:22] Izumida**
Shinkai-san!
**[17:27] Izumida**
Five kilometers left.
**[17:30] Izumida**
We're getting closer.
**[17:30] ---**
Abs! Abs! Abs!
**[17:32] Izumida**
Each time my muscles turn the crank...
**[17:35] Izumida**
Each time my tires kick against the ground...
**[17:38] Izumida**
I get closer to the end of my time with you.
***SIGN*** Kawazu City
**[17:42] Izumida**
Two kilometers left.
**[17:43] Izumida**
Abs, abs, abs, abs, abs!
**[17:47] Izumida**
One kilometer...
**[17:49] Izumida**
Abs, abs, abs, abs!
**[17:53] Izumida**
I will surpass him.
**[17:56] Izumida**
It's the final stretch. Give me
your strength, Andy, Frank, Fabian!
**[18:01] Shinkai**
Shit, my legs are falling off. But...
**[18:06] ---**
Abs! Abs! Abs!
**[18:07] Shinkai**
500 meters left!
**[18:09] Shinkai**
It's the final stretch! Pedal!
**[18:13] Izumida**
That's it!
**[18:15] Shinkai**
The finish line!
**[18:19] Izumida**
Why? Why am I crying?
**[18:34] Izumida**
That's it.
**[18:38] Izumida**
That's it. This is...
**[18:49] Izumida**
...what it means...
**[18:52] Izumida**
...to surpass someone you admire.
**[19:01] Shinkai**
You've grown, Touichirou.
**[19:07] Izumida**
I did it! Abs!
**[19:17] Izumida**
Thank you, Shinkai-san.
**[19:21] Izumida**
In our final race, I rode
with your #4 on my chest.
**[19:30] Shinkai**
Don't steal that. That's my number.
**[19:34] Shinkai**
But I guess it's time I let you have it.
**[19:46] Izumida**
Thank you!
**[19:51] Izumida**
I have one last question.
**[19:53] Izumida**
Shinkai-san, why did you smile then?
**[19:59] Shinkai**
Yeah, I wonder why.
**[20:02] Shinkai**
I was just having so much
fun that I couldn't contain it.
**[20:17] Shinkai**
The climber and ace stages
are after this one.
**[20:21] Izumida**
Yes, sir.
**[20:26] Toudou**
Let's have one last race.
**[20:29] Toudou**
Come with me. I'll give
you a workout, Manami.
**[20:33] Manami**
Yes, sir.
**[20:37] Fujiwara**
It's time.
**[20:39] Club D**
Huh?
**[20:40] Fujiwara**
On this course, after the
right turn at Kawazu...
**[20:49] Fujiwara**
...waits Amagihara Pass, the tallest
peak on the Izu Peninsula.
**[20:55] Club D**
Toudou-san and Manami?
**[20:56] Fujiwara**
That's right.
**[20:57] Fujiwara**
You'll never see a race between Hakone
Academy climbers like this one again.
**[21:03] Fujiwara**
Not that we'll be able to watch it.
**[21:06] Club D**
Let's ask them how it went later.
**[21:08] Fujiwara**
Yeah.
**[21:12] Toudou**
There's a mountain ahead of us. Let us climb.
**[21:17] Toudou**
To the highest point on this road,
the place closest to the sky.
**[21:22] Toudou**
Let's race to see who gets there first.
**[21:25] Toudou**
Don't hold anything back, Manami Sangaku.
**[21:29] Manami**
Yes, sir.
**[21:31] Toudou**
Attack me anytime.
**[21:33] Toudou**
I'll crush each and every
one of your attempts.
**[23:13] Shinkai**
Jinpachi, Yasutomo's glaring at you.
**[23:17] Toudou**
I don't mind.
**[23:18] Toudou**
Now, what will you do?
You're in check, Kuroda.
**[23:22] Arakita**
Don't let him beat you, Kuroda. Get him.
**[23:26] Manami**
The tension is intense.
**[23:33] Shinkai**
Usakichi!

**[01:32] Kuroda**
Go as hard as you can, Manami.
**[01:37] Toudou**
What's wrong?
**[01:38] Toudou**
If you see an opening, come and get me.
**[01:40] Manami**
Toudou-san is fast.
**[01:43] Manami**
His movements are perfectly efficient.
**[01:45] Manami**
He climbs like he's sliding along.
**[01:48] Manami**
He accelerates without making a sound.
***SIGN*** RIDE.08 Finish Line
**[01:50] Manami**
He pulls ahead without anyone realizing it.
**[01:53] Manami**
His only inefficiency is...
**[01:56] Toudou**
Are you overwhelmed by my
Sleeping Climb, Manami Sangaku?
**[02:00] Toudou**
What's wrong? Aren't you going to attack?
**[02:03] Toudou**
Are you just going to let me win?
**[02:05] Toudou**
Both this race and in
popularity with the girls?
**[02:07] Manami**
...how much he talks.
**[02:10] Toudou**
You just thought I needlessly
speak too much, didn't you?
**[02:15] Toudou**
I'm your senior, you know.
**[02:16] Manami**
His intuition is sharp, too.
**[02:19] Toudou**
Well? Can we agree I'm more
popular with the girls?
**[02:24] Manami**
What? That's all?
**[02:26] Manami**
Well, uh... Okay.
**[02:29] Toudou**
Good.
**[02:30] Manami**
He seems satisfied.
**[02:33] Manami**
Maybe I'll go now while I have the chance.
**[02:36] Toudou**
By the way, Manami, have you been
keeping in touch with Four-Eyes?
**[02:50] Manami**
No, I've... been busy.
**[02:55] Toudou**
Really? I'd been wondering about that.
**[02:57] Manami**
We're racing!
**[02:59] Toudou**
What did you do with that thing he
gave you after the award ceremony?
**[03:03] Announce**
*The last bus heading down the
mountain will be leaving at...*
**[03:06] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
Um, T-Toudou-san, I'm looking for Manami-kun.
**[03:11] (Flashback) Toudou**
Manami?
**[03:13] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
I-I promised I'd return this to him
if I attended the Inter-High.
**[03:19] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
It was originally Manami-kun's.
**[03:22] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
He helped me when I was having
trouble in the mountains.
**[03:26] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
Thanks to this, I've been able to work hard.
**[03:29] (Flashback) Toudou**
So you're connected by fate, huh?
**[03:34] (Flashback) Toudou**
Manami!
**[03:36] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
Manami-kun, here.
**[03:38] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
I, uh... Thank you so much.
**[03:41] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
Thanks to you, I—
I'm not sure how to thank you, but...
**[03:49] Toudou**
What did you do with that bottle?
**[03:52] Manami**
I threw it away.
**[03:54] Manami**
Hakone Academy placed second because he won.
**[03:59] Manami**
Because I told him to come to the Inter-High.
**[04:02] Manami**
Because that day...
**[04:06] Manami**
I helped him by giving him that water bottle!
**[04:08] Manami**
How could I keep that bottle around?
**[04:13] Toudou**
I see. Let me ask you something, then.
**[04:16] Toudou**
If you had known that would happen,
**[04:19] Toudou**
and found him collapsed in the mountains,
what would you have done?
**[04:24] Toudou**
Would you not have helped him?
**[04:29] Toudou**
No, you would have.
**[04:31] Toudou**
You can't ignore a person who's having
trouble in the mountains, Manami Sangaku.
**[04:38] Toudou**
It means you didn't make the wrong choice.
**[04:41] Toudou**
It takes only a moment,
and there's no going back.
**[04:47] Toudou**
You gave everything you
had and lost. That's all.
**[04:54] Toudou**
If the past continues to make
you suffer, it's simple.
**[04:58] Toudou**
Take off your jersey.
**[05:02] Toudou**
I told you to
**[05:06] Toudou**
ride freely, Manami.
**[05:11] Toudou**
After all, it's the riding
style that suits you best.
**[05:16] Toudou**
It makes me sick to watch you hide in your
cocoon and worry about reason and rank.
**[05:21] Toudou**
When you ride that way, you're hardly
my rival when it comes to girls!
**[05:29] Manami**
Toudou-san...
**[05:30] Toudou**
I can tell.
**[05:32] Toudou**
Onoda-kun has already
become important to you.
**[05:37] Toudou**
He'll be someone you compete with.
**[05:41] Toudou**
You'll help each other grow
and make each other stronger.
**[05:47] Toudou**
Take good care of him.
**[05:49] Toudou**
Call him every day.
**[05:51] Manami**
Every day?
**[05:55] Toudou**
I'm jealous you have someone to envy and despise.
**[06:02] Toudou**
Your rival is close enough that you
can see and race with him anytime.
**[06:12] Manami**
Toudou-san...
**[06:14] Toudou**
There's not much left.
**[06:18] Toudou**
Give me everything you've got,
Manami Sangaku!
**[06:23] Manami**
Yes, sir.
**[06:30] Toudou**
That's it. That expression, Manami.
**[06:34] Toudou**
That's the one you should wear.
**[06:46] Toudou**
I can't let you take the mountains, though.
**[06:49] Toudou**
I am the Mountain God, Toudou Jinpachi!
**[06:56] Manami**
You're amazing, Toudou-san.
**[07:02] Manami**
Thank you.
**[07:12] Arakita**
Once we exit the Shin-Amagi Tunnel,
to the finish line there'll be...
**[07:16] Fukutomi**
...two thousand meters left.
**[07:18] Ashikiba**
Four men left.
**[07:20] Kuroda**
I withdrew during the mountains
all for this moment.
**[07:24] Kuroda**
We'll show you our backs at the finish line.
**[07:29] Arakita**
You sure do talk a lot, Kuroda.
**[07:38] Kuroda**
I was overflowing with talent.
**[07:48] (Flashback) Student**
Yeah!
**[07:49] (Flashback) Student**
That's the tenth point he's scored! Amazing!
**[07:52] (Flashback) Student**
Come to next week's game, too, Kuroda.
**[07:54] (Flashback) Kuroda**
Sorry. The baseball team asked
me to play for them next week.
**[08:02] Kuroda**
No matter the sport, I improved
faster than anyone else.
**[08:06] (Flashback) Student**
Apparently, the baseball team
won the district tournament!
**[08:10] (Flashback) Student**
Kuroda-senpai!
**[08:12] (Flashback) Student**
I heard he beat a high school
team with the swim club, too!
**[08:15] (Flashback) Student**
Maybe he'll go to the Olympics!
**[08:18] Kuroda**
They called me a sports genius.
**[08:23] Kuroda**
I started riding bikes in grade school
at a friend's invitation.
**[08:27] Kuroda**
I was exceptional at that, too.
**[08:29] (Flashback) Kuroda**
You're slow. Twist your body more.
**[08:33] (Flashback) Kuroda**
I'll be waiting for you at the top, Izumida.
**[08:35] (Flashback) Izumida**
Wait, Kuroda-kun.
**[08:39] Kuroda**
*Bike riding, huh? This isn't bad.*
**[08:42] Kuroda**
* Other sports like basketball and baseball*
* can only be played in designated areas.*
**[08:49] Kuroda**
* But as long as there's a road,*
* you can ride a bike anywhere.*
**[08:55] Kuroda**
* A cage is too cramped for*
* my talent to explode in!*
**[09:02] (Flashback) Kuroda**
I've made my decision, Izumida.
**[09:05] (Flashback) Kuroda**
I'm going to ride bikes.
**[09:08] (Flashback) Kuroda**
I'll go to Hakone Academy
for high school with you.
**[09:12] (Flashback) Izumida**
Kuroda-kun...
**[09:14] Kuroda**
Izumida was serious. He was never
late and never missed class.
***SIGN*** Difficult Book
**[09:17] Kuroda**
His grades were good, and he was always
reading difficult books I'd never heard of.
**[09:22] Kuroda**
Honestly, he wasn't great at
sports besides bike riding.
**[09:27] Kuroda**
But his passion for bikes was absolute.
**[09:31] (Flashback) Kuroda**
Teach me all the little rules, Touichirou.
**[09:35] (Flashback) Izumida**
Okay.
**[09:36] (Flashback) Student**
Kuroda, we heard you're
going to Hakone Academy.
**[09:38] (Flashback) Student**
Is it for bike racing?
**[09:39] (Flashback) Student**
You'll be a regular in no time.
**[09:43] (Flashback) Kuroda**
I'll place first at the Inter-High.
**[09:48] Kuroda**
Everyone wanted me to do well at
the prestigious Hakone Academy.
**[09:53] Kuroda**
Which I thought was only natural.
**[09:56] (Flashback) Student**
First-years, line up!
**[09:57] (Flashback) All**
Yes, sir!
**[09:59] Kuroda**
Until he appeared.
**[10:03] (Flashback) Arakita**
You guys stink.
**[10:13] (Flashback) Arakita**
I'll smell every one of you.
**[10:18] (Flashback) Student**
Stink? You mean sweat?
**[10:20] (Flashback) Arakita**
You smell like you'll quit right away.
**[10:23] (Flashback) Student**
What?
**[10:25] (Flashback) Arakita**
You smell like you'll
start skipping right away.
**[10:27] (Flashback) Student**
What?
**[10:33] (Flashback) Arakita**
You have promise.
**[10:35] (Flashback) Arakita**
You smell like a hard worker.
**[10:37] (Flashback) Izumida**
What?
**[10:38] (Flashback) Izumida**
Th... Thank you!
**[10:42] (Flashback) Arakita**
Shut up! You're too loud, idiot!
**[10:44] (Flashback) Kuroda**
Senpai, how do I smell?
**[10:47] (Flashback) Arakita**
Huh?
**[10:49] Kuroda**
*Exceptional talent? Immediate regular?*
**[10:53] (Flashback) Kuroda**
Do you smell anything?
**[10:55] (Flashback) Arakita**
Yeah.
**[10:57] (Flashback) Arakita**
You smell like a shitty elite.
**[10:59] (Flashback) Arakita**
A stinking ball of pride.
**[11:03] (Flashback) Arakita**
You stink like someone who thinks he's
a superstar at the center of the world.
**[11:10] (Flashback) Arakita**
I bet you've mastered all kinds of
sports with that cool body of yours.
**[11:16] (Flashback) Arakita**
Are you sure you won't quit cycling?
**[11:19] (Flashback) Arakita**
And say something like,
"Basketball is the real me"?
**[11:24] (Flashback) Kuroda**
That's not true!
**[11:29] Kuroda**
*He's fast. And he stopped just a hair short.*
**[11:33] Kuroda**
* If he had extended his elbow another*
* millimeter, he would've hit me in the face.*
**[11:38] (Flashback) Arakita**
Was I right?
**[11:40] (Flashback) Arakita**
Did you get mad because
I was right, first-year?
**[11:44] (Flashback) Arakita**
Looks like I was right on the money.
**[11:47] (Flashback) Kuroda**
Take it back.
**[11:49] (Flashback) Arakita**
Bike riding is unforgiving and plain.
**[11:52] (Flashback) Arakita**
Talent's not enough to get you anywhere.
**[11:54] (Flashback) Arakita**
It'll make you want to quit.
Every day is difficult.
**[11:58] (Flashback) Arakita**
If you can play all kinds of sports,
you'll end up running to one of those.
**[12:04] (Flashback) Arakita**
Are you sure you can ride
a bike, you little baby?
**[12:08] (Flashback) Kuroda**
Let go!
**[12:11] (Flashback) Arakita**
What's wrong? Did you see a mosquito?
**[12:15] (Flashback) Arakita**
I won't fight you.
**[12:17] (Flashback) Arakita**
Fuku-chan told me not to.
**[12:20] (Flashback) Kuroda**
I hate guys like you!
**[12:26] (Flashback) Kuroda**
You're all talk!
**[12:27] (Flashback) Kuroda**
You're always looking for
ways to upset people!
**[12:29] (Flashback) Kuroda**
You're not even strong,
but you rely on violence!
**[12:32] (Flashback) Izumida**
Kuroda-kun...
**[12:33] (Flashback) Student**
Yikes.
**[12:36] (Flashback) Arakita**
I told you I was right.
**[12:40] (Flashback) Arakita**
Fine.
**[12:42] (Flashback) Arakita**
I'll take you on anytime.
**[12:45] (Flashback) Arakita**
I'll show you how I ride when
all I have is cycling!
**[12:52] Kuroda**
That was how I met Arakita Yasutomo-san.
**[12:55] Arakita**
I can smell it. I smell the finish line.
**[12:59] Arakita**
We're getting closer to our last finish line!
**[13:03] Arakita**
Fuku-chan!
**[13:05] Fukutomi**
Yeah.
**[13:07] Arakita**
Bring it on, Kuroda!
**[13:11] Kuroda**
Arakita-san's razor-sharp cornering
is his greatest strength.
**[13:17] Kuroda**
He's hardly applying the brakes.
**[13:18] Kuroda**
Only when he feels the
load will lose out to the
**[13:21] Kuroda**
sideways G's does he brake for a moment.
**[13:23] Kuroda**
He's exceptionally good
at it, but that's not all.
**[13:28] Kuroda**
He rides like his life depends on it.
**[13:30] Kuroda**
Keep up, Ashikiba!
**[13:35] Kuroda**
I abandoned the mountains.
I withdrew from that race...
**[13:38] Kuroda**
To take this finish line.
**[13:42] Kuroda**
To reach the first line in the parking
lot at the bottom of this hill.
**[13:50] Kuroda**
And for one more thing.
**[13:52] Kuroda**
To overcome you today!
**[13:58] Izumida**
It should be soon.
**[14:00] Izumida**
It's about the right time.
**[14:02] Shinkai**
You're right.
**[14:03] Shinkai**
I wonder if Juichi and Yasutomo will win.
**[14:06] Izumida**
We won't lose.
**[14:09] Izumida**
Yuki—Kuroda-kun is a climber,
**[14:12] Izumida**
but he should've hung back during
the mountain stage in order to
**[14:14] Izumida**
help the team achieve victory.
**[14:17] Shinkai**
You two are close, right?
**[14:19] Izumida**
Our houses are close.
**[14:21] Izumida**
In the past, he would've charged ahead.
**[14:24] Izumida**
But he's changed since then.
**[14:29] Izumida**
Instead of seeing himself as the center,
**[14:32] Izumida**
he's started viewing himself as
a part of the rest of the world.
**[14:36] Izumida**
His ability to determine the appropriate
action he should take in those situations
**[14:39] Izumida**
has become extremely accurate.
**[14:41] Izumida**
He quit playing basketball
and baseball for fun.
**[14:45] Izumida**
He started focusing on cycling.
**[14:48] Izumida**
He can do it.
**[14:49] Izumida**
I should know.
**[14:52] Izumida**
He's always had great potential.
**[14:55] Arakita**
Kuroda!
**[14:58] Kuroda**
Arakita-san!
**[15:00] Arakita**
His smell has changed.
Is he going to go for it now?
**[15:04] Kuroda**
I'll overtake you.
**[15:08] Kuroda**
I'll overtake you!
**[15:15] Arakita**
He kept up with my corner entry!
**[15:19] Arakita**
What's up with those legs?
**[15:21] Arakita**
How are they so flexible?
**[15:25] Arakita**
You're still pedaling?
**[15:27] Kuroda**
Arakita-san, I hated you.
**[15:32] Kuroda**
When I lost our first race,
I seriously thought about hitting you.
**[15:36] Kuroda**
I didn't want to admit you
were right, so I trained.
**[15:42] (Flashback) Kuroda**
Damn it. Why?
**[15:44] Kuroda**
But I couldn't win.
**[15:46] Kuroda**
That's why I made up my mind.
**[15:49] (Flashback) Arakita**
What did you want to talk about, Kuroda?
**[15:53] (Flashback) Arakita**
Huh?
**[15:57] (Flashback) Kuroda**
Tell me how I can get stronger!
**[16:00] (Flashback) Kuroda**
Please, Arakita-san!
**[16:02] Kuroda**
I asked you directly how to become stronger.
**[16:06] (Flashback) Arakita**
Ha, idiot!
**[16:08] (Flashback) Arakita**
Don't think you can get whatever
you want just by bowing.
**[16:14] (Flashback) Arakita**
But...
**[16:15] (Flashback) Arakita**
Your desire must be pure if you're willing
to bow your head to the guy you hate most
**[16:20] (Flashback) Arakita**
in order to become stronger.
**[16:22] (Flashback) Arakita**
Not bad.
**[16:24] (Flashback) Arakita**
You managed to throw away your pride.
**[16:27] (Flashback) Kuroda**
What?
**[16:29] (Flashback) Arakita**
Steal someone else's way to get stronger.
**[16:32] (Flashback) Arakita**
That's what I did.
**[16:34] (Flashback) Arakita**
You can do that, can't you?
**[16:37] (Flashback) Arakita**
That's the type of person you are.
**[16:42] Kuroda**
Arakita-san, I only have
gratitude for you now.
**[16:47] Kuroda**
From you, I learned the joy
of being single-minded!
**[16:52] Arakita**
Took you long enough, Kuroda.
**[16:55] Arakita**
I can't believe you're
just growing now, idiot.
**[17:00] Arakita**
Sorry, Fuku-chan! I let them get ahead of us!
**[17:04] Fukutomi**
Five hundred meters left!
**[17:07] Kuroda**
Go, Ashikiba!
**[17:07] Arakita**
Go, Fuku-chan!
**[17:10] Kuroda**
Fukutomi-san's fast!
**[17:14] Arakita**
You got ahead of me on the last turn.
**[17:18] Arakita**
I wasn't expecting that.
**[17:22] Arakita**
But I'm not complimenting you.
**[17:24] Arakita**
What are you, stupid?
**[17:26] Arakita**
You took too long to go all out, idiot.
**[17:30] Kuroda**
Arakita-san...
**[17:32] Kuroda**
That's plenty.
**[17:34] Kuroda**
Thank you.
**[17:37] Ashikiba**
Yuki-chan, thank you for your superb
pulling and this superb position.
**[17:43] Ashikiba**
I'll win. Don't worry.
**[17:46] Ashikiba**
There's classical music
playing inside my head!
**[17:57] Ashikiba**
My pulse is pounding.
**[18:00] Ashikiba**
My body is overjoyed.
**[18:02] Ashikiba**
My heart is dancing,
telling me to spring forward.
**[18:09] Ashikiba**
Swing the baton in time with the rhythm
**[18:13] Ashikiba**
with all your might, Ashikiba Takuto!
**[18:21] Fukutomi**
He's starting a spurt.
It's his Metronome Dancing.
**[18:31] Ashikiba**
Sorry. I'm going to win, Fukutomi-san.
**[18:34] Ashikiba**
I never let anyone beat me twice.
**[18:39] Fukutomi**
Is he trying to go even faster?
**[18:41] Ashikiba**
That's the job of Hakone Academy's ace.
**[18:47] Fukutomi**
Ashikiba!
**[19:12] Ashikiba**
I finally won.
**[19:18] Ashikiba**
I-I won.
**[19:22] Ashikiba**
Fukutomi-san.
**[19:24] Fukutomi**
Yeah.
**[19:29] Arakita**
How could you lose, Fuku-chan?
**[19:33] Arakita**
Don't laugh at me.
**[19:34] Kuroda**
Yeah! Nicely done, Ashikiba.
**[19:38] Kuroda**
I'll pay you a million yen later as a bonus.
**[19:41] Ashikiba**
R-Really?
**[19:43] Kuroda**
No.
**[19:45] Kuroda**
Hey, come on. You can't
actually be disappointed.
**[19:47] Ashikiba**
You're so mean, Yuki-chan.
**[19:50] Arakita**
They're not bad.
**[19:57] Izumida**
Thank you!
**[19:58] All**
Thank you for three years of service!
**[20:07] Kuroda**
Ashikiba!
**[20:08] Kuroda**
Keep a straight face
in front of the upperclassmen!
**[20:19] Fukutomi**
This belongs here!

Become stronger.

And at next year's Inter-High...

**[06:55] Sakamichi**
Tremendously so.
**[06:56] Naruko**
I'll show you just how much of a genius I am.
**[07:00] Naruko**
You just wait for the real
new Naruko Shoukichi.
**[07:03] Naruko**
It's still in development.
**[07:06] Naruko**
And when it's finished,
it'll scare the crap out of you.
**[07:11] Imaizumi**
Really? Will your development be finished
in time for the summer's Inter-High?
**[07:16] Naruko**
Oh, easily.
**[07:19] Naruko**
Although if it were you,
it'd probably take until winter.
**[07:22] Aya**
Those two sure are close.
**[07:25] Miki**
I know.
**[07:26] Both**
No, we're not!

Time has passed, and we're now seniors.
**[07:49] Teshima**
We'll welcome new first-years to
the team and make it even stronger.
**[07:56] Teshima**
Honestly, it'll be a difficult year.
**[08:00] Teshima**
But we have to do it for the sake of
what the upperclassmen left behind.
**[08:06] Teshima**
Every day, every second, is a battle.
**[08:10] Teshima**
We'll build ourselves up all
to win at the Inter-High.
**[08:17] Teshima**
But there will be times
when we're discouraged.
**[08:20] Teshima**
We won't be able to talk to our juniors.
**[08:22] Teshima**
When that happens...

As you can see, he's nervous.
**[08:59] Danchiku**

You must be really nervous.
You're leaning slightly.

Ten minutes before class,

**[09:45] Imaizumi**
It's pretty different, isn't it?
**[09:47] Imaizumi**
Your muscles will remember
what the burden feels like.
**[09:50] Imaizumi**
Rather than practicing with a heavy load,
**[09:53] Imaizumi**
you'll learn more through frequent practice.
**[09:57] Imaizumi**
That's your style, Sugimoto.
**[10:02] Sugimoto**
Thank you, Imaizumi.
**[10:03] Sugimoto**
Since I'm an experienced rider,
I knew I couldn't go easy on myself.
**[10:09] Imaizumi**
I'm just giving you hints.
**[10:11] Imaizumi**
You're the one who has to do it.
**[10:13] Imaizumi**
You don't need to thank me.
**[10:16] Imaizumi**
I was surprised when you came to me at the
end of last year and begged me to teach
**[10:19] Imaizumi**
you how to become stronger, though.
**[10:22] Sugimoto**
I'm serious about this.
**[10:25] Sugimoto**
I saw what Onoda did at the Inter-High and
how everyone in the team believes in him.
**[10:30] Sugimoto**
Even when they were battered,
they never gave up.
**[10:34] Sugimoto**
Anyone would be inspired by that.
**[10:37] Sugimoto**
After all, I'm still a
member of the Sohoku team.
**[10:42] Imaizumi**
That side of you is still annoying.
**[10:45] Sugimoto**
Besides, my brother is joining the team.
**[10:48] Sugimoto**
I want to stay ahead of him.
I can't let him beat me.
**[10:52] Sugimoto**
I should be a role model for him.
**[10:59] Sugimoto**
Imaizumi...
**[11:00] Sugimoto**
What do you think?
Have I gotten any stronger?
**[11:05] Imaizumi**
You haven't noticed?
**[11:08] Imaizumi**
You are getting stronger, one step at a time.
**[11:17] Teshima**
Line up! This year's goal
is a repeat championship!

**[12:39] Teshima**
Has everyone memorized the course?
**[12:41] All**
Yes, sir!
**[12:42] Teshima**
There are a lot of traffic

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

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

Forgive me for being rude on
the first day of the school!
**[00:39] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
It's fine! I'm not worried about it.
**[00:42] (Flashback) Kaburagi**
You forgive me?
**[00:46] (Flashback) Imaizumi**
You should make him obligated to you.
**[00:49] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
Uh, if you're so worried about it,
why don't you show me
**[00:54] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
with your riding at the

**[00:57] (Flashback) Kaburagi**
I'll show you...
**[01:00] Kaburagi**
...exactly how I ride!
**[01:05] Rider A**
Kaburagi and Danchiku are riding alone!
**[01:08] Rider B**
No, someone's going after them! Who is it?
**[01:11] Rider A**
That jersey...
**[01:16] Teshima**
We still can't see the front.
**[01:18] Toji**
They're riding pretty fast.
**[01:20] Sakamichi**
We've passed most of the first-years.
**[01:25] Sakamichi**
Have Kaburagi-kun and Danchiku-kun
already won the first-year race?
**[01:31] Imaizumi**
We have passed most of the first-years, but...
**[01:34] Imaizumi**
we haven't passed any second-years yet.
**[01:39] Teshima**

are already accounted for.
**[03:25] Teshima**
Who wears the remaining one will
be determined in this first-year race.
**[03:32] Sakamichi**
Sugimoto-kun is amazing.
**[03:34] Naruko**
Not bad, Sugimoto.

Quit trembling!

I'll become the sixth man.
**[03:43] Sugimoto**
I'll be in the Inter-High.

He's not dropping his pace.
**[03:56] Sakamichi**
Amazing.
**[03:57] Naruko**
Hey, hotshot, don't you have anything to say?
**[04:00] Naruko**
That's our Sugimoto.
**[04:01] Imaizumi**
Not really.
**[04:02] Both**
What?
**[04:03] Imaizumi**
He still has a lot to learn.
**[04:04] Naruko**
Talk about unpleasant.
**[04:06] Naruko**
Go on being a hotshot forever, hotshot.
**[04:11] Imaizumi**
He hasn't shown his true strength yet.
**[04:16] Naruko**
What's going on? He's breaking
away from the group.
**[04:18] Naruko**
Aw, no.
**[04:19] Naruko**
Is he out of strength? He's wobbling.
**[04:22] Naruko**
What on earth is he doing?
**[04:30] Naruko**
No way! He passed Kaburagi and Danchiku!
**[04:35] Naruko**
And he's pulling ahead of them!
**[04:36] Naruko**
He's trying to break away!
**[04:40] Sakamichi**
Amazing.
**[04:41] Imaizumi**
Sugimoto...
**[04:41] Naruko**
He's accelerating! Seriously?
**[04:43] (Flashback) Imaizumi**
I heard you're going to ride
in the first-year race.
**[04:46] (Flashback) Sugimoto**
Yeah. Thanks for all your help, Imaizumi.
**[04:51] (Flashback) Sugimoto**
I don't have time to worry about
being a second-year or my pride.
**[04:56] (Flashback) Sugimoto**
I know it's an unreasonable request, but I...
**[05:03] (Flashback) Sugimoto**
Actually, the rest is just
my delusion, so forget it.
**[05:07] (Flashback) Sugimoto**
I'll do my best.
**[05:09] (Flashback) Imaizumi**
I see. Good luck.
**[05:11] (Flashback) Sugimoto**
Yeah. Watch me from the van.
**[05:15] Sugimoto**
I'll show you.
**[05:18] Sugimoto**
I'd seen Imaizumi in several
races in Chiba before.
**[05:23] Sugimoto**
He was tall, cool, and
the center of attention.
**[05:27] Sugimoto**
I thought he and I had nothing in common.
**[05:30] Sugimoto**
But we got into the same high
school and joined the same club.
**[05:34] Sugimoto**
Imaizumi, if I'm able to become the
sixth man and ride in the Inter-High,
**[05:39] Sugimoto**
I want to ride as hard as I can.
**[05:43] Sugimoto**
I'll ride with all my might for
the team, and in the end—
**[05:46] Sugimoto**
Actually, this might be delusional.
**[05:50] Sugimoto**
We're counting on you, Imaizumi!
**[05:52] Imaizumi**
I know, Teru!
**[05:56] Sugimoto**
I hope I can push your back
just before the finish line.
**[06:02] Sugimoto**
Imaizumi...
**[06:05] Naruko**
He's pulling ahead again!
**[06:07] Naruko**
Not bad, Sugimoto!
**[06:08] Sakamichi**
But the guys behind him seem like
they have a lot of strength left.
**[06:14] Imaizumi**
You're exactly right, Onoda.
**[06:17] Imaizumi**
It's not that they can't go after him.
**[06:19] Imaizumi**
They're choosing not to.
**[06:22] Sakamichi**
Why would they do that?
**[06:23] Imaizumi**
They still have half the course left,
**[06:25] Imaizumi**
and the second half includes
the brutal Minegayama.
**[06:28] Imaizumi**
If he's weak, then letting him get
away won't have any consequences.
**[06:31] Imaizumi**
He'll quickly exhaust himself
and come falling back.
**[06:33] Imaizumi**
Needlessly exerting themselves
would be a waste.
**[06:35] Imaizumi**
They have the advantage
of ability and numbers.
**[06:38] Imaizumi**
If it comes down to it, they can
make up a few minutes' difference.
**[06:41] Imaizumi**
That's what they're thinking.
**[06:43] Imaizumi**
They're treating him like
a bird inside a birdcage.
**[06:46] Imaizumi**
No matter how much it flaps
its wings, it can't fly.
**[06:48] Imaizumi**
But that can lead to a sudden comeback
**[06:53] Imaizumi**
when they miscalculate that bird's strength.
**[06:56] Imaizumi**
Sugimoto is a weak sprinter.
**[07:00] Imaizumi**
They must've thought the same thing.
**[07:02] Imaizumi**
But his legs are built for long rides.
**[07:06] Imaizumi**
He can maintain a high average
speed over a long period of time.
**[07:09] Imaizumi**
Sugimoto's probably gone much farther
ahead than they're imagining.
**[07:15] Sugimoto**
The dam! I made it to the dam.
***SIGN*** Kameishi Dam Parking Lot
**[07:17] Sugimoto**
Now I just have to circle around
it and climb up Minegayama.
**[07:21] Sugimoto**
I'm doing well.
**[07:22] Sugimoto**
I can do it.
**[07:26] Kaburagi**
This isn't good. This doesn't feel right.
**[07:28] Kaburagi**
Danchiku, I judged him to be beneath our
concern with the weak way he passed us.
**[07:33] Kaburagi**
But his legs might be...
**[07:37] Teshima**
There's no way they won't notice.
**[07:42] Kaburagi**
Have you loosened up yet, Danchiku?
**[07:44] Danchiku**
Yeah. That was enough to relax me.
**[07:48] Kaburagi**
Danchiku's shackles are off.
**[07:52] Danchiku**
Let's ride all out to catch him, Issa!
**[07:55] Kaburagi**
Yeah, Danchiku!
**[07:58] Kaburagi**
Go!
**[08:00] Sakamichi**
They're fast!
**[08:01] Naruko**
They made it to the dam in no time!
**[08:05] Kaburagi**
We still haven't caught up yet, Danchiku.
**[08:07] Kaburagi**
He's way faster than we thought.
**[08:11] Kaburagi**
But we're even faster.
**[08:14] Kaburagi**
When Danchiku's freed from
the shackles of anxiety,
**[08:16] Kaburagi**
he rides so quickly, I'd fall
behind if I wasn't careful.
**[08:20] Kaburagi**
Roar, Danchiku!
**[08:24] Teshima**
The SS logo on their chests...
**[08:27] Teshima**
Team SS the one of the strongest
major teams in Chiba,
**[08:30] Teshima**
composed of riders ranging from
middle school students to adults.
**[08:34] Teshima**
It has a fifteen-member roster,
**[08:35] Teshima**
and every month they
race to compete for slots.
**[08:38] Teshima**
And they've remained on the team.
**[08:40] Sakamichi**
As middle school students?
**[08:42] Teshima**
The "SS" in their name
stands for "Speed Shot."
**[08:47] Teshima**
They take down their prey at top speed.
**[08:51] Kaburagi**
Hey, you had me scared for a moment.
**[08:53] Kaburagi**
If we'd been just a few minutes slower...
**[08:57] Kaburagi**
You might've gotten us.
**[08:59] Naruko**
They passed Sugimoto in a second!
**[09:01] Sakamichi**
He managed to get ahead of them, too.
**[09:03] Imaizumi**
Sugimoto...
**[09:13] Imaizumi**
After them, Sugimoto!
**[09:16] Imaizumi**
Go after their butts!
**[09:19] Imaizumi**
If you don't chase now, you'll
fall behind completely!
**[09:21] Imaizumi**
Your defeat will be certain!
**[09:24] Imaizumi**
Is it hard? Don't think you can do it?
**[09:25] Imaizumi**
Whenever you feel that way, just remember...
**[09:27] Imaizumi**
It's hard for you, but it's
just as hard for them!
**[09:32] Imaizumi**
Whoever manages to hold on wins!
**[09:35] Sugimoto**
Don't let go, don't let go!
**[09:38] Sugimoto**
I'm going to be the sixth man.
**[09:40] Sugimoto**
Thank you, Imaizumi.
**[09:42] Naruko**
He got a second wind!
**[09:44] Sakamichi**
Sugimoto-kun's accelerating again!
**[09:49] Naruko**
What, hotshot? You're not putting on airs?
**[09:52] Sakamichi**
That was amazing. You were
so passionate just now.
**[09:54] Imaizumi**
Don't mock me.
**[09:55] Imaizumi**
I was just telling him
it's time to go for it.
**[10:00] Toji**
Telling him how he felt?
**[10:03] Toji**
These guys are carrying on the spirit
of Sohoku High School, Kinjou.
**[10:08] Imaizumi**
I'm not trying to provide
Sugimoto any extra support.
**[10:12] Imaizumi**
If he wins, it'll be because he caught up.
**[10:16] Imaizumi**
He's desperately trying to catch up now,
but there's no telling if he will.
**[10:21] Sugimoto**
Be strong, be strong.
**[10:27] Sugimoto**
I have to chase after them now.
**[10:29] Sugimoto**
If I don't catch up, I don't stand a chance.
**[10:31] Sugimoto**
I'm riding so I can claim
one of those jerseys.
**[10:34] Sugimoto**
There's two of them.
**[10:36] Sugimoto**
No, don't think about it.
**[10:40] Sugimoto**
Just catch up. Catch up.
**[10:42] Sugimoto**
I can do it.
**[10:43] Sugimoto**
Be strong, be strong.
**[10:45] Sugimoto**
Everyone's watching from behind.
**[10:47] Sugimoto**
Once I make it over this hill, I'll see them.
**[10:51] Sugimoto**
I don't see them. They're fast.
**[10:54] Sugimoto**
My legs aren't strong enough to catch them.
**[10:57] Sugimoto**
I told you not to think!
**[10:59] Sugimoto**
I'll catch up.
**[11:00] Sugimoto**
It's hard for them, too. It must be.
**[11:02] Sugimoto**
This race is my last chance.
**[11:07] Toji**
What should we do, Teshima?
**[11:10] Teshima**
Go after the leaders.
**[11:13] Teshima**
Realistically, Sugimoto won't
catch up to Kaburagi and Danchiku.
**[11:17] Teshima**
They should already be beginning the
final climb up Minegayama.
***SIGN*** Minegayama
***SIGN*** Kameishi Dam Entrance
**[11:21] Sakamichi**
But Sugimoto-kun is—
**[11:23] Teshima**
We have to watch the leaders ride.
**[11:25] Teshima**
This race will determine the final
member of the Inter-High team.
**[11:30] Toji**
Got it.
**[11:34] Sugimoto**
Wait, what?
**[11:36] Sugimoto**
Huh? Guys?
**[11:38] Sugimoto**
Wait.
**[11:46] Sugimoto**
Wait. This is the last...
**[11:52] Suigmoto**
Wait, Imaizumi!
**[11:55] Sakamichi**
Sugimoto-kun stopped pedaling.
**[11:58] Sakamichi**
Can't we turn the car around and—
**[12:01] Teshima**
Onoda, this is a race.
**[12:03] Teshima**
Knowing this could happen,
Sugimoto chose to participate.
**[12:08] Sakamichi**
Imaizumi-kun...
**[12:11] Imaizumi**
I thought he could do more.
**[12:19] Imaizumi**
Kinjou-san said Sohoku High School
riders support each other.
**[12:25] Imaizumi**
I thought he could do better.
**[12:28] Imaizumi**
That he had the ability to do better
if he had teammates to help him.
**[12:34] Imaizumi**
If he had teammates supporting him,
then this race...
**[12:43] Sadatoki**
All right.
**[12:45] Sadatoki**
I finally caught up.
**[12:46] Sadatoki**
You really are fast, Brother.
**[12:50] Sugimoto**
Sadatoki...
***SIGN*** Minegayama
**[12:57] Kaburagi**
No one's pursuing us.
**[12:58] Kaburagi**
Once we reach the top of this mountain,
**[13:00] Kaburagi**
it's all downhill to the
finish line, Danchiku.
**[13:03] Kaburagi**
This race is ours.
**[13:06] Kaburagi**
We're going to the Inter-High, Danchiku.
**[13:10] Danchiku**
Don't celebrate so much, Issa.
You're like a child.
**[13:12] Kaburagi**
When would I celebrate, if not now?
**[13:15] Kaburagi**
I am a child, Danchiku.
**[13:17] Kaburagi**
One who's been presented
with all the toys he wanted
**[13:19] Kaburagi**
and told to play with them
to his heart's content.
**[13:22] Kaburagi**
I am a child!
**[13:25] Kaburagi**
I'm excited.
**[13:26] Kaburagi**
I'm getting chills, Danchiku.
**[13:29] Kaburagi**
I finally get to go.
**[13:31] Kaburagi**
The race I saw when I tagged along
on my father's business trip
**[13:33] Kaburagi**
was my first Inter-High.
**[13:36] Kaburagi**
I was dumbfounded.
**[13:37] Kaburagi**
I was so excited, I leaped into the air.
**[13:39] Kaburagi**
It blew away my concepts
of "fast" and "strong."
**[13:44] Kaburagi**
It was an awesome race.
**[13:47] Kaburagi**
I decided then that I would
participate in that race.
**[13:51] Kaburagi**
Not that I could, but that I would.
**[13:52] Kaburagi**
I'd get stronger and participate.
**[13:56] Kaburagi**
There are plenty of strong riders
in the world, but that's fine.
**[14:00] Kaburagi**
I've become super strong.
**[14:02] Kaburagi**
I'll battle them and win.
**[14:04] Kaburagi**
Conquering the Inter-High is my goal!
**[14:09] Kaburagi**
Let's do it. We can do it, Danchiku.
**[14:11] Kaburagi**
After all, I have you with me.
**[14:14] Danchiku**
Stop. You're embarrassing me.
**[14:18] Sakamichi**
Huh?
**[14:19] Naruko**
They're falling back.
**[14:21] Kaburagi**
Teshima-san!
**[14:22] Teshima**
What is it?
**[14:23] Kaburagi**
You haven't forgotten our promise, have you?
**[14:26] Kaburagi**
If Danchiku and I finish first
and second in this race,
**[14:30] Kaburagi**
you'll let both of us
onto the Inter-High team.
**[14:32] Teshima**
Yeah.
**[14:33] Kaburagi**
All right!
**[14:34] Kaburagi**
I, Kaburagi Issa, along with Danchiku,
will ride in the Inter-High!
**[14:38] Naruko**
Hey, what kind of promise is that?
**[14:40] Sakamichi**
B-Both of them? Does that mean someone
from the current lineup is out?
**[14:44] Teshima**
It's a world dictated by ability. It happens.
**[14:46] Sakamichi**
Um, who is it? Who is it?
**[14:49] Sakamichi**
It's me, isn't it?
**[14:52] Sakamichi**
Good luck, everyone.
**[14:54] Imaizumi**
He's so mentally weak.
**[14:56] Kaburagi**
Onoda-san, it's on.
**[14:57] Kaburagi**
I went to see the Inter-High last year.
**[15:01] Kaburagi**
The finish line was at Mt. Fuji.
**[15:03] Kaburagi**
Honestly, it was a mesmerizing race.
**[15:06] Kaburagi**
Indescribably so.
**[15:09] Kaburagi**
My entire body went numb.
**[15:10] Kaburagi**
I became depressed on the way home
and couldn't sleep for three days.
**[15:15] Kaburagi**
I was frustrated from the bottom of
my heart that I wasn't on that stage.
**[15:20] Kaburagi**
Because I was shown that you
were far stronger than me.
**[15:25] Kaburagi**
That's why...
**[15:29] Kaburagi**
I'll surpass you at this summer's Inter-High.
**[15:33] Kaburagi**
I'll surpass you!
**[15:36] Kaburagi**
What's your goal for this year's Inter-High?
**[15:40] Kaburagi**
A second consecutive general
classification victory?
**[15:44] Sakamichi**
I don't have to win.
**[15:48] Sakamichi**
I want to be with Imaizumi-kun
and Naruko-kun,
**[15:50] Sakamichi**
Teshima-san and Aoyagi-san,
**[15:53] Sakamichi**
riding together as hard we can.
**[15:55] Sakamichi**
I want to give everything I have
against Manami-kun and Midousuji-kun.
**[15:59] Sakamichi**
And in the end, I hope someone on our team
has the chance to finish first.
**[16:04] Sakamichi**
Also, this is just me being greedy, but
I'd like to report to the upperclassmen...
**[16:11] Sakamichi**
To Makishima-san...
**[16:13] Sakamichi**
That we did it.
**[16:16] Kaburagi**
Report?
**[16:20] Imaizumi**
You are greedy. You couldn't be greedier.
**[16:25] Naruko**
We'll have to practice super hard, Onoda-kun.
**[16:29] Sakamichi**
Yeah.
**[16:30] Kaburagi**
What kind of solidarity is this?
**[16:32] Teshima**
Kaburagi!
**[16:35] Teshima**
Last year we reeled in a thin thread that
was about to break and won together.
**[16:41] Teshima**
It may seem unrefined, but that's
how Sohoku High School races.
**[16:45] Teshima**
Sound lame?
**[16:46] Teshima**
Kaburagi, you already think
you've won, even though
**[16:50] Teshima**
you haven't broken the finish line's tape.
**[16:52] Kaburagi**
What?
**[16:53] Teshima**
Sugimoto, the man you passed and
left behind, may be unreliable,
**[16:58] Teshima**
but he possesses the spirit
of Sohoku High School.
**[17:01] Teshima**
If he hasn't given up on winning
this race, then he'll come.
**[17:07] Teshima**
He'll catch up to you.
**[17:10] Kaburagi**
Is that a threat?
**[17:11] Kaburagi**
That's impossible.
**[17:13] Kaburagi**
In other words, you want me
to stop talking and ride.
**[17:17] Kaburagi**
I understand. Sorry!
**[17:19] Kaburagi**
Let's head to the finish line, Danchiku!
**[17:21] Danchiku**
Yeah!
**[17:22] Teshima**
A threat?
**[17:24] Teshima**
No.
**[17:29] Teshima**
I've just seen miracles like
that happen plenty of times.
**[17:34] Imaizumi**
Sugimoto.
**[17:35] Naruko**
Is it Sugimoto?
**[17:36] Sakamichi**
Sadatoki-kun!
**[17:38] Sugimoto**
Not yet. I won't give up yet.
**[17:40] Sadatoki**
I see them, Brother! It's the van.
**[17:42] Teshima**
I can't believe the brothers
caught up together.
**[17:45] Teshima**
This is unexpected.
**[17:46] Sakamichi**
Sugimoto-kun caught up!
**[17:51] Sugimoto**
I'll become the sixth man.
**[17:53] Naruko**
Their synchronization is unbelievable.
**[17:55] Sakamichi**
Amazing. Sugimoto-kun hasn't given up yet.
**[17:59] Naruko**
But there's two more kilometers to the peak.
**[18:01] Naruko**
Once they're past that, it's downhill.
**[18:03] Naruko**
Sugimoto's legs aren't
enough to close the gap.
**[18:05] Naruko**
How much they can catch up to Kaburagi
and Danchiku on this climb will be key.
**[18:09] Imaizumi**
Sugimoto... and his brother.
**[18:12] Imaizumi**
The brothers' synchronization...
**[18:14] Imaizumi**
When he came to practice before,
their synchronization was inefficient.
**[18:21] Imaizumi**
But now both of them have got it down.
**[18:25] Imaizumi**
They must've practiced
together for this moment.
**[18:27] Imaizumi**
No.
**[18:28] Imaizumi**
Sugimoto's will raised them up.
**[18:31] Imaizumi**
It's this situation that gave rise to it.
**[18:33] Sugimoto**
I'll become the sixth man.
**[18:36] Sugimoto**
Go! Go, Sadatoki!
**[18:38] Sadatoki**
Yeah, Brother!
**[18:42] Sadatoki**
Brother, we'll catch up to
Aburagi-kun and Danchiku-kun.
**[18:47] Sugimoto**
I'm counting on you, Sadatoki.
But it's Kaburagi.
**[18:51] Sugimoto**
Thank you, Sadatoki.
**[18:54] Sugimoto**
If you hadn't caught up to me then,
I would've given up on this race.
**[18:59] (Flashback) Sugimoto**
Sadatoki, how? Did you
make it here on your own?
**[19:04] (Flashback) Sadatoki**
Yeah.
**[19:05] (Flashback) Sadatoki**
I wanted to ride with you, Brother.
**[19:09] Sugimoto**
In that moment, I felt as though one strand
of the broken string inside my heart
**[19:14] Sugimoto**
was still connected.
**[19:17] (Flashback) Sugimoto**
Sadatoki, can you keep riding?
**[19:20] (Flashback) Sugimoto**
Kaburagi and Danchiku just passed me.
**[19:23] (Flashback) Sugimoto**
I want to catch up and pass them again.
**[19:27] (Flashback) Sugimoto**
Will you help me, Sadatoki?
**[19:29] (Flashback) Sugimoto**
I want to go to the Inter-High
as the sixth man.
**[19:33] Sadatoki**
That was the first time. The first!
**[19:35] Sugimoto**
What?
**[19:36] Sadatoki**
You're cool and strong and know everything.
**[19:40] Sadatoki**
You've always pulled me forward.
**[19:42] Sadatoki**
But that's the first time
you've asked me for something.
**[19:47] Sadatoki**
So, I'll do it. I promise I'll take you there.
**[19:52] Sugimoto**
Sadatoki!
**[19:55] Sadatoki**
Also, um...
**[19:58] Sadatoki**
You really do look cool in that jersey.
**[20:01] Sadatoki**
It looks great on you, Brother!
**[20:04] Sugimoto**
When you were little,
you were such a crybaby.
**[20:08] Sugimoto**
You followed me around saying,
"I can't," and, "I'm not confident."
**[20:14] Sugimoto**
It's okay. It's okay now, Sadatoki.
**[20:18] Sugimoto**
You can do anything.
**[20:20] Sugimoto**
Your brother can attest to that.
**[20:23] Sugimoto**
Follow me. You can do it, Sadatoki.
**[20:25] Sugimoto**
We'll cross the finish line together.
**[20:30] Sadatoki**
Yeah!
**[20:31] Sugimoto**
Even though Imaizumi tried to cheer
me up, my legs stopped moving once.
**[20:36] Sugimoto**
But Sadatoki saved me.
**[20:40] Sugimoto**
For Sadatoki's sake, if it's still possible,
**[20:43] Sugimoto**
I want to do my best to reel in
this last thread one more time.
**[20:49] Sugimoto**
One more time!
**[20:54] Teshima**
Sugimoto caught up to Kaburagi and
Danchiku just 50 meters before the peak!
**[21:00] Naruko**
Sugimoto's amazing!
**[21:02] Sakamichi**
Sadatoki-kun and Sugimoto-kun
are both amazing!
**[21:06] Toji**
Was this unexpected, too, Teshima?
**[21:08] Teshima**
Road races certainly are
fantastic, aren't they?
**[21:15] Kaburagi**
Damn it! I underestimated them.
**[21:18] Kaburagi**
Who's that big guy?
**[21:19] Sugimoto**
Let's head to the finish line, Sadatoki!
**[21:21] Sadatoki**
Yeah, Brother!
**[21:23] Kaburagi**
Pedal harder! Faster, Danchiku!
**[21:26] Teshima**
They're neck and neck at the peak!
**[21:28] Teshima**
Now it's downhill to the finish line!
**[23:03] Naruko**
I've been thinking, since we're the
new generation of Sohoku High School,
**[23:06] Naruko**
why don't we change our jersey's color?
**[23:09] Naruko**
A flashy red would be cool.
**[23:10] Imaizumi**
You have terrible taste. Blue is better.
**[23:13] Naruko**
Then we'd be the same as
Hakone Academy High School.
**[23:16] Naruko**
Onoda-kun, what do you think?
**[23:18] Sakamichi**
Well, red is flashy, but blue is cool.
**[23:22] Sakamichi**
But I like yellow because it's
a modest but noble color.
**[23:27] Sakamichi**
I guess you could say it's
simultaneously cool and cute.
**[23:31] Sakamichi**
What do you guys think?
**[23:33] Both**
Yellow's good.

**[00:06] Sugimoto**
We reeled it in.
**[00:07] Sugimoto**
We're neck and neck. We finally caught up.
**[00:10] Sugimoto**
Now all I have to do is never let go.

**[01:59] Naruko**
Now that they're on the downhill slope,
Kaburagi and Danchiku are accelerating!
**[02:02] Sakamichi**
Sugimoto-kun and his brother
are falling behind!
**[02:04] Teshima**
They're as good as you'd
expect going downhill.
**[02:08] Teshima**
What do you think will happen, Imaizumi?
**[02:11] Imaizumi**
They'll fall behind.
**[02:12] Sakamichi**
What?
**[02:13] Imaizumi**
But they'll probably catch
up on the next corner.
**[02:22] Kaburagi**
Who are these guys?
**[02:24] Sugimoto**
Don't let go. Don't let go, Sadatoki.
**[02:26] Sugimoto**
Let's go to the finish line.
**[02:28] Sadatoki**
Yeah.
**[02:30] Imaizumi**
Team SS is a mixed team.
**[02:33] Imaizumi**
Since their fifteen members are
determined through races,
**[02:36] Imaizumi**
they've probably never
experienced that feeling...
**[02:43] Imaizumi**
Of riding with your friends.
**[02:45] Imaizumi**
Currently, Kaburagi and
Danchiku are stronger.
**[02:50] Imaizumi**
But if Sugimoto has any chance at victory,
**[02:54] Imaizumi**
it's because their wavering spirits
don't understand that feeling.
**[02:58] Kaburagi**
They're not good.
**[02:59] Kaburagi**
They're not supposed to be good.
**[03:01] Kaburagi**
So how did they catch up?
**[03:03] Kaburagi**
How are they neck and neck with us?
**[03:07] Kaburagi**
Why are you riding in front of us?
**[03:10] Danchiku**
Issa!
**[03:13] Danchiku**
Don't waver!
**[03:14] Danchiku**
Focus on the race!
**[03:15] Danchiku**
You saw some guy pass you. That's all!
**[03:18] ---**
Danchiku...
**[03:19] Danchiku**
Face forward and think only of winning.
**[03:21] Danchiku**
We can do this. Don't worry.
**[03:24] Danchiku**
You're fast.
**[03:27] Danchiku**
You've practiced hard.
**[03:29] Danchiku**
You've endured thousands
of difficult moments.
**[03:32] Danchiku**
Aren't you going to race in the Inter-High?
**[03:35] Danchiku**
So what's wrong with you?
**[03:37] Danchiku**
Frolic more!
**[03:39] Danchiku**
You're a genius, Kaburagi!
**[03:46] Kaburagi**
That did the trick.
**[03:48] Kaburagi**
I'm fast? I'm a genius?
**[03:51] Kaburagi**
I know.
**[03:53] Kaburagi**
I know that better than
anyone else, Danchiku!
**[03:56] Kaburagi**
Yeah!
**[03:59] Danchiku**
Issa, I want to see you frolic like a child.
**[04:05] Danchiku**
I want to see you refuse to
shrink from strong opponents...
**[04:09] Danchiku**
At this year's Inter-High.
**[04:11] Danchiku**
That's why I'm riding with you.
**[04:13] Danchiku**
Switch with me, Issa. I'll pull.
**[04:15] Danchiku**
The downhill is ending.
**[04:17] Danchiku**
I'll make sure you take first place!
**[04:20] Sugimoto**
It's the final spurt! Dig deep, Sadatoki!
**[04:23] Sadatoki**
Yeah!
**[04:24] Sugimoto**
I'm not very good at goal sprints,
but I'll overcome that weakness now.
**[04:30] Sugimoto**
I don't have time for excuses.
**[04:34] Teshima**
At the bottom of the hill
is Fumotogaoka Park.
**[04:37] Teshima**
There's a short 200-meter climb from there.
**[04:42] Teshima**
It's the final goal sprint
of the first-year race!
**[04:47] Sakamichi**
Danchiku-kun's in front!
**[04:49] Naruko**
Kaburagi-kun's behind him!
They're going for the one-two finish!
**[04:53] Sakamichi**
Sadatoki's falling back!
**[04:56] Kaburagi**
We're going to the Inter-High, Danchiku!
**[04:59] Kaburagi**
We'll finish first and second!
**[05:03] Naruko**
From behind Danchiku, who was
pulling with all his strength...
**[05:07] Danchiku**
Go, Issa!
**[05:08] Naruko**
The Kaburagi Super Express
is leaving the station!
**[05:11] Kaburagi**
Follow me, Danchiku!
**[05:13] Kaburagi**
It's ours. It's perfect.
**[05:16] Kaburagi**
We're going to make
Sohoku High School stronger.
**[05:20] Kaburagi**
Come, Danchiku! It's just us now!
**[05:23] Danchiku**
Yeah!
**[05:27] Danchiku**
Pedal, Issa! Don't worry about me!
**[05:30] Danchiku**
Pedal!
**[05:31] Naruko**
Sugimoto passed him without
any help from Sadatoki!
**[05:35] Teshima**
It's a long sprint.
**[05:36] Sakamichi**
Sugimoto-kun.
**[05:38] Imaizumi**
Your strength is long rides.
**[05:41] Imaizumi**
Sugimoto, are you making your
last spurt a long sprint, too?
**[05:47] Sadatoki**
Sorry I couldn't help
you in the end, Brother.
**[05:51] Sugimoto**
Thank you, Sadatoki.
**[05:53] Sugimoto**
If you hadn't pulled for me, I wouldn't
have caught up to them on Minegayama.
**[05:58] Sugimoto**
Thank you, Imaizumi.
**[06:00] Sugimoto**
If you hadn't pushed my back then,
I would've given up.
**[06:06] Sugimoto**
I haven't done a single thing.
**[06:08] Sugimoto**
Not a single thing.
**[06:11] Sugimoto**
So...
**[06:13] Teshima**
Sugimoto!
**[06:15] Both**
He caught up!
**[06:17] Kaburagi**
You can't be serious!
**[06:19] Teshima**
Only forty meters left!
**[06:24] Kaburagi**
I never realized how difficult it would be
to prove I'm the fastest man in this race.
**[06:30] Teshima**
Twenty meters left!
**[06:31] Kaburagi**
Who the hell is this guy?
**[06:33] Kaburagi**
He should just fall back already.
**[06:35] Kaburagi**
How long will he endure?
**[06:36] Kaburagi**
Until we reach that line?
**[06:38] Teshima**
Ten!
**[06:39] Sugimoto**
It's the goal. The finish line.
**[06:41] Sugimoto**
I'll throw everything away if
it means I'll reach it first!
**[06:45] Kaburagi**
No way! I'm the man who will
surpass Onoda Sakamichi!
**[06:50] Sugimoto**
I'm going to be the sixth...
**[06:53] Sugimoto**
The sixth man!
**[07:00] Kaburagi**
Yeah!
**[07:10] Sakamichi**
Sugimoto-kun!
**[07:11] Teshima**
Are you okay, Sugimoto?
**[07:15] Sugimoto**
I felt it.
**[07:17] Sugimoto**
I was looking down when I crossed
the finish line, so I couldn't tell.
**[07:22] Sugimoto**
But I...
**[07:25] Sugimoto**
I won.
**[07:28] Sugimoto**
I took first, right?
**[07:32] Naruko**
He didn't hear Kaburagi yell.
**[07:38] Sugimoto**
I did it! I'm going to the Inter-High!
**[07:42] Sugimoto**
I did it! I did it!
**[07:45] Sugimoto**
I did it!
**[07:47] Imaizumi**
Sugimoto.
**[07:50] Imaizumi**
You did your best.
**[07:51] Sugimoto**
I did it.
**[07:54] Sugimoto**
I did it, Imaizumi. Thank you.
**[07:57] Sugimoto**
Thank you, thank you.
**[07:59] Sugimoto**
Words can't express how grateful I am.
**[08:05] Sugimoto**
Huh?
**[08:07] Sugimoto**
Why do you all look so uneasy?
**[08:11] Sugimoto**
Is it because you don't want
me to be the sixth man?
**[08:14] Sugimoto**
Don't worry. I can do it.
**[08:17] Sugimoto**
I, Sugimoto Terufumi,
will become even stronger.
**[08:37] Kaburagi**
We did it.
**[08:50] Sugimoto**
I see.
**[08:53] Sugimoto**
I wasn't first.
**[08:57] Sakamichi**
B-But you were amazing.
**[09:01] Sakamichi**
Sugimoto-kun, you were amazing.
**[09:02] Naruko**
It's true.
**[09:04] Naruko**
You rode really well.
**[09:06] Naruko**
I was shouting when you caught up at the end.
**[09:09] Naruko**
Seriously.
**[09:15] Sugimoto**
That was close. Second, huh?
**[09:19] Sugimoto**
That was truly close.
**[09:23] Sugimoto**
I almost had it.
**[09:24] Sugimoto**
Even I was confused.
**[09:28] Sugimoto**
Sorry, guys. Did I get your hopes up?
**[09:32] Sugimoto**
Sorry, sorry.
**[09:34] Sakamichi**
Teshima-san, Sugimoto-kun did his best.
**[09:37] Sakamichi**
He tried really, really hard.
**[09:39] Sakamichi**
So, uh...
**[09:42] Sakamichi**
Why don't we wait until the training camp
to decide the Inter-High team?
**[09:48] Teshima**
Until the training camp?
**[09:49] Sakamichi**
Last year, Kinjou-san ultimately decided—
**[09:52] Sugimoto**
Onoda...
**[09:56] Sugimoto**
I was in this race with a different intention.
**[10:01] Sakamichi**
Sugimoto-kun...
**[10:03] Sugimoto**
Teshima-san gave me a chance
to ride in this race.
**[10:10] Sugimoto**
His condition was that I take first.
**[10:16] Sugimoto**
It was my last chance.
**[10:19] Sugimoto**
Ultimately, though, there is no next time.
**[10:23] Sugimoto**
I couldn't do anything.
**[10:29] Imaizumi**
Sugimoto...
**[10:31] Imaizumi**
You worked diligently every day.
**[10:35] Imaizumi**
You're the only one who kept up
with their initial acceleration.
**[10:38] Imaizumi**
You're the one who followed
Sadatoki through the mountains
**[10:41] Imaizumi**
and caught up to them again.
**[10:43] Imaizumi**
During the final downhill
sprint to the finish line,
**[10:47] Imaizumi**
it wasn't because of anyone else's
strength or thanks to anyone else.
**[10:50] Imaizumi**
You're the one who was riding.
**[10:51] Imaizumi**
Be proud. You had the
strongest ride in this race.
**[10:56] Sugimoto**
Thanks, Imaizumi.
**[10:59] Sugimoto**
Sorry I couldn't win after all the advice you gave me.
**[11:04] Sugimoto**
I'm going to go cool down.
**[11:08] Sadatoki**
Brother...
**[11:12] Imaizumi**
Sugimoto, I don't care if you win or
lose as long as the team gets stronger.
**[11:19] Imaizumi**
Or so I thought, but...
**[11:23] Imaizumi**
During the final sprint,
I was hoping you'd win.
**[11:31] Sugimoto**
I'm tired. I'm exhausted.
**[11:35] Sugimoto**
I got second.
**[11:36] Sugimoto**
I did everything I could.
**[11:40] Sugimoto**
I did everything I could!
**[11:51] Teshima**
That was an impressive victory, Kaburagi.
**[11:53] Kaburagi**
Thanks.
**[11:55] Teshima**
But since Danchiku placed third, you didn't
fulfill our agreement that a one-two finish
**[11:59] Teshima**
meant both of you could become members.
**[12:03] Teshima**
Will you ride alone?
**[12:05] Kaburagi**
Yes, sir.
**[12:07] Danchiku**
Good, Issa.
**[12:11] Teshima**
Get stronger.
**[12:12] Kaburagi**
Yes, sir.
**[12:15] Miki**
It's nearly time.
**[12:16] Aya**
Yeah.
**[12:17] Teshima**
These are the Inter-High jerseys
passed down to us from our seniors.
**[12:24] Teshima**
Winner of the first-year race, Kaburagi Issa.
**[12:27] Kaburagi**
Yes, sir.
**[12:34] Teshima**
You'll be wearing this. Take it.
**[12:39] Kaburagi**
Yes, sir.
**[12:41] Miki**
They're here.
**[12:42] Aya**
Vying for a consecutive victory...
**[12:44] Miki**
The six members of the new
Sohoku High School team.
**[12:51] Kaburagi**
I did it, I did it!
**[12:53] Kaburagi**
I did it!
**[12:56] Kaburagi**
Naturally, I intended to become a member,
but now that I am one, I'm ecstatic.
**[13:01] Kaburagi**
I tried on my jersey a
bunch of times yesterday.
**[13:04] Danchiku**
Keep it down. Everyone will hear you.
**[13:08] Kaburagi**
Listen to this! I'm going
to be in the Inter-High!
**[13:10] Danchiku**
He's shouting even louder?
**[13:12] Kaburagi**
As one of the champions,
**[13:14] Kaburagi**
I'll lead Sohoku High School to
our second consecutive victory.
**[13:20] (Flashback) Kaburagi**
Thank you!
**[13:21] Kaburagi**
* He was strong. If the finish line had*
* been five meters closer, I would've lost.*
**[13:27] Kaburagi**
*I seriously respect him.*
**[13:40] (Flashback) Sugimoto**
Push Imaizumi's back.
**[13:44] (Flashback) Kaburagi**
What?
**[13:46] (Flashback) Sugimoto**
In my place.
**[13:51] (Flashback) Kaburagi**
Yes, sir!
**[13:52] Kaburagi**
I understand the weight of riding in the
Inter-High with this jersey, Sugimoto-san.
**[13:58] Kaburagi**
Let's do this.
**[14:02] Sakamichi**
Excuse me...
**[14:03] Student**
Yes?
**[14:05] Student**
Who is he?
**[14:08] Student**
Are you Onoda-san from the bicycle club?
**[14:11] Student**
Th-The national champion?
**[14:12] Sakamichi**
Y-Yes.
**[14:13] Student**
How does it feel to be number one?
**[14:15] Sakamichi**
Uh, well...
**[14:17] Student**
Are your glasses for camouflage?
**[14:19] Sakamichi**
I'm here to see Kaburagi-kun...
**[14:19] Student**
Can we take a picture?
**[14:21] Student**
Yeah!
**[14:22] Student**
Thank you!
**[14:24] Sakamichi**
No, wait. Could you please
get Kaburagi-kun for me?
**[14:28] Sakamichi**
No, will you? I have a message for
him from our captain, Teshima-san.
**[14:32] Student**
Stand. Bow.
**[14:36] Sakamichi**
Just being in another grade's
classroom makes me nervous.
**[14:41] Sakamichi**
But the upperclassmen...
**[14:43] (Flashback) Kinjou**
Is Onoda here?
**[14:44] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
Yes, sir.
**[14:46] Sakamichi**
They didn't have a problem with it.
**[14:48] Sakamichi**
Being someone's senior is hard.

We're a really mismatched duo, though.
**[16:47] Kinjou**
Maybe not.
**[16:50] Arakita**
Anyway, did you hear? This year's
Inter-High is going to be on that slope.
**[16:56] Kinjou**
That slope, huh?
**[16:57] Arakita**
I'm glad it wasn't last year.
**[17:00] Arakita**
Climbing that slope is exhausting.
**[17:02] Arakita**
How do you think Sohoku High School will do?
**[17:04] Kinjou**
They've already picked out
all six of their members.
**[17:07] Arakita**
That was quick.
**[17:08] Kinjou**
Captain Teshima probably intends
to use that time to increase
**[17:11] Kinjou**
the team's strength as a whole.
**[17:14] Arakita**
That Teshima guy's pretty smart.
**[17:18] Arakita**
But I heard Izumida's been putting Hakone
Academy High School through hellish training.
**[17:24] Kinjou**
Sounds tough.
**[17:25] Arakita**
Since everyone's moved up a year,
then that oddball—no, Onoda-chan...

**[17:48] Both**

**[17:54] Sakamichi**
I went to your classroom this

**[17:58] Kaburagi**
I heard from Teshima-san.
**[18:00] Kaburagi**
We're doing individual training, right?
**[18:03] Sakamichi**
Great.
**[18:05] Sakamichi**
I went during lunch, too,
but you weren't there.
**[18:10] (Flashback) Teshima**
You'll be practicing one-on-one with Onoda.
**[18:12] (Flashback) Teshima**
Learn all you can from him.
**[18:14] (Flashback) Teshima**
The practice follows a race format.
**[18:15] (Flashback) Teshima**
The course is simple, running from the
front gate and up the rear gate slope.
**[18:20] (Flashback) Teshima**
If you see an opening, pass him.
**[18:22] Sakamichi**
Wh-Where did you go for lunch?
**[18:25] Kaburagi**
You could've left a message
with one of my classmates
**[18:28] Kaburagi**
to come see you during the next break.
**[18:31] Sakamichi**
I couldn't do that.
I wanted to tell you directly.
**[18:35] Kaburagi**
I'll listen to your orders.
**[18:37] Kaburagi**
After all, I'm your junior.
**[18:39] Sakamichi**
Sorry. Are you mad?
**[18:41] Kaburagi**
I'd apologize.
**[18:42] Sakamichi**
Sorry.
**[18:43] Sakamichi**
He's mad. Why is he mad?
**[18:48] Sakamichi**
Huh? Kaburagi-kun?
**[18:50] Sakamichi**
Juniors are so difficult to handle.
**[18:53] Kaburagi**
My classmates told me—damn it.
**[18:57] Kaburagi**
That Onoda's pathetic.
**[18:59] Kaburagi**
That he's unreliable, scrawny, and weak.
**[19:03] Kaburagi**
They made fun of me for looking up to him!
**[19:08] Kaburagi**
Damn it!
**[19:10] Kaburagi**
Can't he be a more dignified senior?
**[19:12] Kaburagi**
He's embarrassing me!
**[19:15] Sakamichi**
Sorry.
**[19:18] Kaburagi**
Onoda-san, when did you get there?
**[19:20] Kaburagi**
Crap! S-Sorry...
**[19:22] Kaburagi**
Did you hear me talking to myself?
**[19:24] Kaburagi**
I was riding all-out.
**[19:28] Sakamichi**
Yeah, sorry. From around
"where my classmates told me."
**[19:33] Kaburagi**
He kept up with me from the beginning?
**[19:37] Sakamichi**
Sorry. I'm not much of a senior, am I?
**[19:41] Sakamichi**
But I intend to do my best for the team.
**[19:45] Kaburagi**
This is crazy. My whole body is shaking now.
**[19:50] Kaburagi**
Are there lots of other guys
like him at the Inter-High?
**[19:54] Kaburagi**
Excuse me, uh...
**[19:56] Kaburagi**
C-Could you ride as hard as you can?
**[20:00] Sakamichi**
Th-This practice is about
riding as hard as we can.
**[20:03] Sakamichi**
Of course I will. Right!
**[20:06] Sakamichi**
Here I go.
**[20:09] Kaburagi**
Okay.
**[20:13] Kaburagi**
He's fast. What is this?!
**[20:15] Kaburagi**
Is this him really climbing?
**[20:17] Kaburagi**
It took only a moment.
**[20:18] Kaburagi**
What's going on with this guy?
**[20:20] Kaburagi**
This pressure's been flowing out
of his whole body since he started.
**[20:24] Kaburagi**
I've never met someone so fast going uphill.
**[20:27] Kaburagi**
This guy who looked so small
at school looks huge now.
**[20:34] Kaburagi**
I can't beat him. I don't
think I can beat him.
**[20:36] Kaburagi**
Racing against him is totally
different from watching him.
**[20:40] Kaburagi**
This is his high-cadence climb. Amazing!
**[20:45] Sakamichi**
Keep up.
**[20:46] Kaburagi**
Yes, sir.
**[20:47] Kaburagi**
You truly are amazing, Onoda Sakamichi-san.
**[20:54] Naruko**
You think Kaburagi's flustered around now?
**[20:58] Teshima**
Probably.
**[21:00] Teshima**
Most people are when they experience
Onoda's riding firsthand.
**[21:03] Teshima**
He even smiles while he climbs.
**[21:07] Teshima**
But we need Kaburagi to get stronger.
**[21:11] Teshima**
And we have to as well.
**[21:14] Teshima**
The next Inter-High is
being held on that slope.
**[21:18] Naruko**
That slope?
**[21:19] Teshima**
Japan's most famous and
endless winding slope.

Oh, right. Danchiku's not here.
**[01:04] Kaburagi**
Crap. My stomach hurts...

Is Issa okay?
**[01:11] Danchiku**
Whenever he's nervous,
it affects his stomach first.

**[01:30] Kaburagi**
I'm great.
**[01:31] Teshima**
I see.
**[01:33] Teshima**
Before the race, I want to ask you something.
**[01:37] Teshima**
Kaburagi, what do you ride for?
**[01:42] Kaburagi**
Isn't it obvious?
**[01:44] Kaburagi**
I ride...

W-Wait!
**[05:01] Kaburagi**
I'm so, so, so unlucky.
**[05:04] Kaburagi**
I got a flat on the first lap. Damn it.

Should I head back to HQ?

No, that would take too long.

It's Sohoku High School #106, Kaburagi.
**[05:17] Announce**
It looks like his rear tire is flat.
**[05:20] Kaburagi**
The manager should bring me a wheel now.

If she cuts across the field,
it's about a kilometer.

You're our ace in this race.

You're the one who said

Oh, uh... looks like you weren't so lucky.
**[06:01] Sakamichi**
But you can't help it if you have a flat.

Our seniors used to say luck
was part of the race, too.
**[06:07] Kaburagi**
Are they crazy? Why are they
smiling under these circumstances?

This is the preliminary race.

Last year's captain, Kinjou-san, said

**[06:46] Teshima**
During the second stage
of last year's Inter-High,
**[06:49] Teshima**
Onoda stopped and waited for
a senior named Tadokoro-san.
**[06:53] Teshima**
He pulled the sick Tadokoro-san to the
**[06:57] Teshima**
Team Sohoku jerseys that
were so far ahead of them.
**[07:00] Teshima**
All six were united.
**[07:02] Teshima**
Some guys would probably say
that didn't mean anything.
**[07:06] Teshima**
But after that, Tadokoro-san pulled the team.
**[07:10] Teshima**
We depended on each other and worked together.
**[07:12] Teshima**
In the end, Onoda was entrusted with the team's
hopes and took our jersey to the finish line.

I believe in the power of six.

We've got all six. Let's go.

But they're still within range.

You made a mistake, Teshima.
**[08:01] Yanagida**
The race may have just started, but it's
impossible to make up this distance.
**[08:05] Yanagida**
I'll overtake you on the remaining
nine laps and force you to drop out.
**[08:09] Yanagida**
The Inter-High will be attended...
**[08:11] Yanagida**
By us!

What are we going to do, Teshima-san?
**[08:20] Naruko**
I guess we don't have a choice.
**[08:22] Sakamichi**
We'd better do our best.
**[08:23] Teshima**
We need to catch up first
to the group behind us.
**[08:27] Kaburagi**
Catch up? Are they serious?
**[08:36] Yanagida**
What?
**[08:37] Teshima**
Sorry, Yanagida.
**[08:38] Teshima**
Could you hold onto that for a while?
**[08:41] Yanagida**
What?
**[08:42] Teshima**
I'll come back for it later.
**[08:45] Teshima**
Yeah, around the ninth lap.
**[08:49] Yanagida**
What?
**[08:50] Teshima**
Oh, right. You can drink it.
**[08:53] Teshima**
It's probably heavy.

Enjoy your tea time.
**[08:58] Yanagida**

Has Teshima-senpai always been the kind
of person who provokes people like that?
**[09:05] Teshima**
Let's start catching up, Aoyagi.

We'll ride at 80% to pull ahead.

**[09:23] Naruko**
I haven't seen the evil
Teshima-san in a while.
**[09:26] Kaburagi**
What?
**[09:27] Imaizumi**
The ingenious strategies that once
tortured us are going strong.
**[09:32] Teshima**
Is that a compliment?
**[09:35] Teshima**
The group is scary because it's a group.
**[09:38] Teshima**
But if you break them apart, it's not.
**[09:41] Yanagida**
Damn it! We'll catch up
no matter what, Teshima!
**[09:44] Rider D**
Don't underestimate us, Sohoku High School!
**[09:46] Teshima**
My declaration that we'll catch up
will break the group apart.
**[09:51] Teshima**
With fewer riders, the pack will slow down.
**[09:54] Teshima**
They're wasting their chance to pass us.
**[09:57] Kaburagi**
All that thought was behind
that performance of his?
**[10:01] Teshima**
Besides...
**[10:03] Teshima**
We have all six of our members.
**[10:05] Kaburagi**
Six.
**[10:09] Rider D**
Yanagida, we're overpacing ourselves.
**[10:11] Rider E**
At this pace, we won't even
finish the race, let alone win.
**[10:14] Yanagida**
Shut up. We just have to catch
up to Sohoku High School.
**[10:17] Yanagida**
I'll pull them out of the race!
**[10:22] Teshima**
It's a little early, but let's do it, Aoyagi.
**[10:25] Aoyagi**
Got it. We'll go at 100%.

Ace, my butt. Who does he think he is?
**[14:15] Imaizumi**
Why did we have to let
him take the finish line?
**[14:18] Naruko**
Hey, hotshot. We agree for once.
**[14:20] Imaizumi**
Starting today, his nickname is "showoff."
**[14:23] Kaburagi**
What?
**[14:24] Sakamichi**
What? But I was just thinking
the team's in great form.
**[14:28] Teshima**
This is fine.
**[14:29] Sakamichi**
What?
**[14:31] Teshima**
First place is special.
**[14:33] Teshima**
No one wants to give it up.
**[14:35] Teshima**
Not even to a teammate or a junior.
**[14:39] Sakamichi**
But...
**[14:39] Teshima**
It's okay if they don't get along.
**[14:41] Sakamichi**
What?
**[14:43] Teshima**
The determination to not
lose holds them together.
**[14:45] Teshima**
Even if they bicker normally,
when things get tough and they can't ride,
***SIGN*** Certain
**[14:51] Teshima**
they'll turn it around in a second.
**[14:53] Teshima**
Riders determined not to lose
give the team strength.
**[14:57] Teshima**
"Don't follow me," becomes, "Keep up."
**[15:00] Teshima**
And that connection causes miracles.
**[15:05] Teshima**
That's what I believe.
**[15:07] Sakamichi**
I see.
**[15:09] Sakamichi**
That's this year's Sohoku High School.
**[15:15] Naruko**
Listen up. Starting today, you're "showoff."
**[15:19] Imaizumi**
If you've got anything to say, you can
say it once you can keep up with us.
**[15:24] Kaburagi**
Understood! I accept!
**[15:26] Kaburagi**
I'll practice super hard
and surpass you someday!
**[15:30] Kaburagi**
Imaizumi Shunsuke,
I promise I'll surpass you!
**[15:34] Imaizumi**
Are you going to say that to everyone?
**[15:37] Kaburagi**
Naruko Shoukichi, I'll surpass you, too!
**[15:41] Naruko**
I'll be waiting.
**[15:43] Imaizumi**
He said the same thing to you, didn't he?
**[15:47] Reporter A**
Finally, why do you race?
**[15:52] Kaburagi**
Today, when I crossed the
finish line, I had a thought.
**[15:56] Kaburagi**
That I'm riding for my team.
**[16:00] Kaburagi**
But I was wrong!
**[16:03] Kaburagi**
It's to win! That's all!
**[16:05] Kaburagi**
That's my only motivation!
**[16:07] Teshima**
He's really glaring at us.
**[16:10] Teshima**
But he's finally showing
his true colors, I guess.
**[16:13] Sakamichi**
Yeah.
**[16:15] Recon**
The champions, Sohoku High School...
**[16:17] Recon**
They certainly are strong.
**[16:18] Recon**
It's going to be another
hot summer this year.
**[16:22] Mizuta**
This is seriously bad.
**[16:24] Mizuta**
Sohoku High School had a perfect finish.
**[16:27] Mizuta**
They're going to be strong, Midousuji-kun.
**[16:31] Midousuji**
The vermin champions, huh?
**[16:35] Midousuji**
Good.
**[16:36] Mizuta**
What?
**[16:37] Midousuji**
The more perfect they are,
the weaker they are.
**[16:40] Midousuji**
The riper the fruit, the sooner it falls.
**[16:45] Mizuta**
But it's okay. I found a weakness.
**[16:49] Mizuta**
I, Mizuta Nobuyuki, as the new captain of
Kyoto Fushimi High School, will... huh?
**[16:58] Midousuji**
Don't worry, zaku. I've gotten
stronger this year, too.
**[17:05] Midousuji**
And I have you.
**[17:10] Komari**
Midousuji-san, your muscles are looking
great today. They're excellent.
**[17:17] Hiranishi**
I'm exhausted.
**[17:19] Rider B**
Hey, Komari. Massage me again today.
**[17:22] Komari**
Yes, sir.
**[17:24] Hiranishi**
It really works.
**[17:28] Komari**
These muscles are the worst.
**[17:33] Midousuji**
They think he's a simple masseuse.
**[17:37] Midousuji**
But let the small fry think that.
**[17:45] Komari**
It's finally time for practice.
**[17:48] Komari**
I always wash my hands...
**[17:52] Komari**
Before I ride you.
**[18:02] Sakamichi**
Okay, perfect.
**[18:05] Sakamichi**
I feel great when my bike's sparkling clean.
**[18:12] Sakamichi**
It's so hot. Summer's coming soon.
**[18:16] Sakamichi**
And with it, the Inter-High.
**[18:22] Sakamichi**
We'll get to ride together again, Manami-kun.
**[18:28] Sakamichi**
Huh? The call light is on.
***SIGN*** One Missed Call
Manami Sangaku-kun
**[18:32] Sakamichi**
Manami-kun?
**[18:33] Sakamichi**
Why? He never calls me.
**[18:40] Sakamichi**
S-Sorry, Manami-kun. I didn't
notice my phone was ringing.
***SIGN*** This number could not be answered at this time.
***SIGN*** At the tone, please leave your name and message.
**[18:46] Sakamichi**
It's his answering machine...
**[18:49] Sakamichi**
Uh, this is Onoda. Thanks for calling.
**[18:53] Sakamichi**
We're going to the race.
**[18:55] Sakamichi**
I hope we get to ride together again.
**[18:58] Sakamichi**
I'm looking forward to it.
**[19:00] Manami**
Yeah, so am I.
**[19:03] Sakamichi**
Manami-kun? H-How?
**[19:06] Manami**
I answered because you called.
**[19:09] Manami**
It took me a while, though.
**[19:11] Sakamichi**
Oh, right.
**[19:13] Manami**
We won our prefecture's preliminary, too.
***SIGN*** Touched by an Angel
**[19:17] Manami**
Izumida-san was really into it.
**[19:20] Manami**
We finished ten minutes ahead
of the second place team.
**[19:22] Manami**
They say it's a new race record.
**[19:24] Sakamichi**
That's amazing.
**[19:25] Manami**
Oh, no, no. That's not why I called.
**[19:29] Manami**
Where do you think I am right now?
**[19:31] Sakamichi**
What?
**[19:32] Manami**
It's a place you told me you like.
**[19:36] Sakamichi**
Could it be?
**[19:37] Manami**
Yeah.
**[19:38] Manami**
I'm in Akihabara.
**[19:40] Sakamichi**
Akiba...
**[19:42] Manami**
We're on our way to check
out the Inter-High course,
**[19:45] Manami**
but we stopped by because a senior named
Ashikiba-san forgot his phone charger.
**[19:51] Sakamichi**
Manami-kun's in Akiba...
Manami-kun's in Akiba...
**[19:52] Manami**
Anyway, this place is crowded.
It's like a festival.
**[19:56] Sakamichi**
I'll be right there.
**[19:58] Manami**
What? Sorry, but we won't be
here longer than ten minutes.
**[20:00] Sakamichi**
I'll still go.

This time, I'll accept it with a smile.
**[20:44] Reporter B**
Thanks for letting me come along with you.
**[20:47] Izumida**
It's fine. Since it'll save time,
it helps us, too.
**[20:52] Reporter B**
I appreciate you saying that.
**[20:54] Reporter B**
So, do you think you can beat
Sohoku High School this year?
**[20:58] Izumida**
The question isn't whether or
not we can beat them. It's—
**[21:02] Doubashi**
That's right. It's whether or
not they can keep up with us.
**[21:06] Doubashi**
We're Hakone Academy High School.
**[21:10] Doubashi**
It won't take me a second to crush them.
**[21:12] Izumida**
That's enough, Doubashi.
**[21:16] Izumida**
I know I've said this before,
**[21:18] Izumida**
but all six members of Hakone
Academy High School are aces.
**[21:21] Izumida**
Let me be clear.
**[21:23] Izumida**
Last year they took the title of champions
from us, but we haven't lost our pride.
**[21:30] Izumida**
We're strong. And...
**[21:35] Izumida**
I am strong.
**[23:12] Kaburagi**
Onoda-san, let me hold your basket.
**[23:14] Kaburagi**
These gummies are really good.
**[23:17] Kaburagi**
Onoda-san, let's get some
ice cream. It's hot out.
**[23:19] Sakamichi**
Yeah, okay. They look good.
**[23:21] Sakamichi**
What should we get?
**[23:23] Kaburagi**
It's gotta be Papeko. We can split one.
**[23:26] Naruko**
You look like you're having fun, showoff.
**[23:28] Naruko**
We're getting Papeko, too.
**[23:31] Kaburagi**
Let's get donuts instead, Onoda-san.
**[23:33] Both**
Do you really hate us that much?

We don't have enough.
**[00:04] Teshima**
Not enough time, not enough strength.
**[00:08] Teshima**
Hakone Academy High School is strong.
**[00:11] Teshima**
Izumida, Ashikiba, Kuroda, Manami...
**[00:14] Teshima**
Just the four of them would be strong
enough to win a national race.
**[00:18] Teshima**
Two more will be joining them.
**[00:22] Teshima**
All six members of Hakone Academy
High School are aces.
**[00:24] Teshima**
Kyoto Fushimi High School and Hiroshima
will be looking for revenge, too.
**[00:29] Teshima**
Road races aren't so easy that
just because we won last year,
**[00:34] Teshima**
we'll win again this year.

**[02:33] Kaburagi**
What?
**[02:34] Imaizumi**
You heard me.
**[02:35] Imaizumi**
You're going to ride a thousand
kilometers in four days
**[02:39] Imaizumi**
on the cycling sports center's circuit course.
**[02:41] Kaburagi**
One thousand?
**[02:43] Kaburagi**
We're not going to do two-minute
sprints or heartbeat training?
**[02:47] Kaburagi**
Seriously? Two hundred and fifty
kilometers a day?
**[02:51] Kaburagi**
That's insane!
**[02:52] Imaizumi**
Nice reaction.
**[02:54] Naruko**
He's easy to read.
**[02:55] Kaburagi**
Oh, I know. You're joking, aren't you?
**[03:00] Imaizumi**
We're serious.
**[03:01] Naruko**
It's for real.
**[03:05] Naruko**
You'll lose consciousness before you finish.
**[03:07] Imaizumi**
You'll master the ability to
remain focused while riding.
**[03:12] Kaburagi**
What?
**[03:14] Teshima**
You're all responsible for managing
your own physical condition.
**[03:17] Teshima**
If you're tired, rest. I won't
blame you for dropping out, either.
**[03:21] Teshima**
Ride with a light at night.
**[03:23] Club 1**
We're going to be riding at night?
**[03:25] Sawada**
Just riding during the day won't be enough.
**[03:30] Kaburagi**
What should we do, Danchiku?
**[03:31] Danchiku**
Don't worry, Issa. I'm with you.
**[03:34] Kaburagi**
I appreciate it.

**[03:52] Kaburagi**
Damn. I knew this wouldn't be an easy
cycling trip, but this is really hard.
**[03:58] Kaburagi**
What is Teshima-san thinking?
**[04:00] (Flashback) Teshima**
Last year Imaizumi, Naruko, and Onoda
**[04:03] (Flashback) Teshima**
completed one thousand kilometers
after modifying their bikes.
**[04:06] (Flashback) Kaburagi**
Modifying?
**[04:08] (Flashback) Teshima**
They switched out their shifters,
handlebars, and wheels.
**[04:11] Kaburagi**
*Amazing.*
**[04:13] (Flashback) Teshima**
I'll be modifying your bike, too.
**[04:15] (Flashback) Kaburagi**
Yes, sir.
**[04:16] Kaburagi**
*Is it my wheels or gears?*
**[04:17] (Flashback) Teshima**
I haven't done anything to those.
**[04:21] (Flashback) Teshima**
It's you.
**[04:22] (Flashback) Kaburagi**
What?
**[04:23] (Flashback) Teshima**
Obey the following rule.
**[04:24] (Flashback) Teshima**
While riding on the course,
don't get within ten meters of Danchiku.
**[04:30] (Flashback) Teshima**
You're the only one who will
be riding in the Inter-High.
**[04:32] (Flashback) Teshima**
Danchiku won't be on the Inter-High course.
**[04:36] (Flashback) Teshima**
Both of you ride while wearing these meters.
**[04:38] (Flashback) Teshima**
I've set their sensors to ten meters.
**[04:41] (Flashback) Teshima**
If you approach each other,
an alarm will sound.
**[05:01] Imaizumi**
Teshima-san...
**[05:02] Imaizumi**
What are you going to do
if we don't finish in the top six?
**[05:08] Teshima**
You'll be removed from the lineup.
**[05:12] Naruko**
Isn't that a little harsh?
**[05:14] Naruko**
Showoff seemed depressed.
**[05:16] Teshima**
If he can't make the top six
under these conditions,
**[05:19] Teshima**
I'm removing him from the lineup.
**[05:21] ---**
Those same conditions apply to us.
**[05:29] Imaizumi**
Teshima-san and Aoyagi-san
have the same devices
**[05:31] Imaizumi**
on their bikes that
Kaburagi and Danchiku had.
**[05:34] Teshima**
During this training camp, our perfect
teamwork style, the two-man team...

**[05:43] Teshima**
We'll become stronger. We have to.
**[05:46] Teshima**
You know that. We're third-years.
**[05:49] Teshima**

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

Keep up, Teshima!
**[02:48] Teshima**
What? Damn it!
**[02:53] Koga**
Are your legs cramping up?
**[02:56] Koga**
Disappointing.
**[02:57] Koga**
That's your limit as an ordinary man!
**[03:04] Koga**
An ordinary man can't lead
men overflowing with talent.
**[03:11] Teshima**
There was a bug on my leg,
so I shooed it away.
**[03:15] Teshima**
Anyway, sorry, Koga.
**[03:17] Teshima**
I believe there are things only
an ordinary man like me can do!
**[03:24] Koga**
I...
**[03:26] Koga**
...don't think so.
**[03:30] Naruko**
That was surprising, though.
**[03:33] Naruko**
I had no idea Koga-senpai was
such an incredible rider.
**[03:35] Imaizumi**
He was the team's hope as a first-year.
**[03:40] Imaizumi**
He couldn't ride for a long
time due to an injury.
**[03:44] Imaizumi**
Because he wanted to stay involved with
the team, he'd been working as a mechanic.
**[03:50] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
Huh? About the Inter-High...
**[03:53] (Flashback) Koga**
Yeah, I'm not going. I'm staying here.
**[03:57] (Flashback) Koga**
Everyone's bikes are in perfect condition.
**[03:59] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
What? But, uh...
**[04:03] (Flashback) Koga**
It's just a stupid superstition,
but if I'm around...
**[04:07] (Flashback) Koga**
I have a feeling things will turn
out like they did last year.
**[04:11] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
What?
**[04:11] (Flashback) Koga**
It's fine.
**[04:13] (Flashback) Koga**
Don't worry about me. Good luck.
**[04:17] (Flashback) Koga**
I'm counting on you, first-years.
**[04:18] (Flashback) Koga**
Imaizumi, Naruko, Onoda...
**[04:21] (Flashback) Koga**
Help Kinjou-san and the others win.
**[04:24] Sakamichi**
That was painful for Koga-senpai.
**[04:29] Sakamichi**
Teshima-san fights knowing all that.
**[04:33] Imaizumi**
The same goes for Sugimoto.
**[04:35] Imaizumi**
We carry the hopes of those who have fallen
and can't participate in the Inter-High.
**[04:42] Imaizumi**
Four days from now, either Teshima-san
or Koga-san will carry those hopes.
**[04:48] Sakamichi**
Then we have to get stronger
during these four days.
**[04:54] Imaizumi**
Yeah.
**[05:08] Teshima**
That was rough, but I endured it.
**[05:13] Teshima**
What do you think, Koga?
**[05:17] Koga**
Tomorrow will be harder.

The skies cleared up, though.

The fog was crazy this morning. Right, Onoda?
**[06:41] Sakamichi**
Yes, sir.

What's this? I thought
I'd gotten ahead of you.

This is pointless. Choose.
**[07:23] Koga**
Will you push yourself today and
drop out because of an injury,
**[07:27] Koga**
or keep riding and drop out
when you're exhausted tomorrow?
**[07:34] Teshima**
Sorry, but I choose the third option!

I'll complete a thousand
kilometers in four days...

...and cross the finish line before you!

You may be a skilled strategist,
but you're not good enough.
**[07:50] Koga**
Give up, Teshima.
**[07:52] Teshima**
He's a hair's breadth away.
**[07:55] Teshima**
Only a genius could do something so easily.
**[07:58] Teshima**
In contrast, I'm ordinary.
**[08:00] Teshima**
I haven't even won a single race.
**[08:08] Teshima**
But Koga, there are sights
that only I can see.
**[08:17] Teshima**
There's a lot to learn
from seeing him up close.
**[08:21] Koga**
What are you smiling about, Teshima?
**[08:23] Koga**
Are you approaching your limit?
**[08:28] Teshima**
Koga!
**[08:29] Teshima**
I'm an ordinary man!
**[08:31] Teshima**
That's why I'll take one step at a time,
and during this training camp...
**[08:36] Teshima**
Become everything you said I'm not.
**[08:40] Koga**
Looks like you'll have to learn
your lesson the hard way.
**[08:44] Koga**
You've always got to have the last word.
**[08:46] Koga**
I'll shut you up!
**[08:49] Teshima**
The hard way? I know how strong you are.
**[08:53] Teshima**
I've always known.
**[08:57] Teshima**
During the Hiroshima Inter-High two years ago,
at the end of the second day...
**[09:03] Teshima**
I can still recall that atmosphere.
**[09:08] Teshima**
That tense atmosphere of total despair.
**[09:13] (Flashback) Koga**
It's warped.
**[09:14] (Flashback) Tadokoro**
That's enough, Koga.
**[09:16] (Flashback) Koga**
But Kinjou-san asked me to fix it!
**[09:19] (Flashback) Makishima**
We only have one ace, and our mechanic
doubles as one of our riders.
**[09:23] (Flashback) Makishima**
It was wrong for a team as weak
as ours to dream of winning.
**[09:28] (Flashback) Koga**
I'll fix it!
**[09:30] (Flashback) Tadokoro**
We're saying you don't have to!
**[09:35] (Flashback) Tadokoro**
Sohoku High School's second-year ace, Kinjou,
**[09:37] (Flashback) Tadokoro**
is dropping out on the second
day after a hard fall.
**[09:42] (Flashback) Teshima**
Excuse me.
**[09:43] (Flashback) Teshima**
Kinjou-san's being examined at the hospital.
**[09:48] (Flashback) Teshima**
His has broken ribs,
and abrasions in seven places.
**[09:51] (Flashback) Teshima**
One of the third-years is
going to stay with him.
**[09:55] (Flashback) Tadokoro**
I see.
**[10:03] (Flashback) Koga**
Tadokoro-san, tomorrow I'll be—
**[10:08] (Flashback) Tadokoro**
Get changed. You've done enough.
**[10:10] (Flashback) Tadokoro**
Get some rest.
**[10:11] (Flashback) Tadokoro**
We still have to race tomorrow.
**[10:19] (Flashback) Teshima**
The ace?
**[10:20] (Flashback) Koga**
Keep your voice down, Junta.
**[10:23] (Flashback) Teshima**
The ace, though? Are you serious?
**[10:25] (Flashback) Koga**
Kinjou-san's done a lot for me.
**[10:28] (Flashback) Koga**
That's why I have to fill his spot.
**[10:31] (Flashback) Koga**
They won't be looking out for the first-years.
I'll be free to do as I please.
**[10:36] (Flashback) Koga**
I'll sneak my way to the top
just before the finish line tomorrow.
**[10:40] (Flashback) Koga**
I'm confident in my sprinting ability,
so I'm going to go for it.
**[10:44] (Flashback) Koga**
If things go well, we could win.
**[10:45] (Flashback) Koga**
It'll be a huge comeback.
We'll get single-digit number tags.
**[10:48] (Flashback) Teshima**
Don't, Kimitaka.
**[10:51] (Flashback) Teshima**
I understand how you feel.
**[10:52] (Flashback) Teshima**
I dropped out of the thousand kilometer
training camp, so you might not like me saying it,
**[10:57] (Flashback) Teshima**
but you can't do it.
**[10:59] (Flashback) Teshima**
Listen to the upperclassmen tomorrow.
**[11:01] (Flashback) Koga**
Junta!
**[11:02] (Flashback) Koga**
I thought you'd understand!
**[11:05] (Flashback) Teshima**
You're injured!
**[11:07] (Flashback) Teshima**
Kinjou-san said you didn't
have to push yourself.
**[11:10] (Flashback) Teshima**
He told you to ride in the Inter-High,
get experience, and use it next year.
**[11:14] (Flashback) Koga**
What about this year?
**[11:15] (Flashback) Teshima**
He told you not to push yourself because
you're talented and have promise!
**[11:21] (Flashback) Teshima**
It was the same during the training camp.
**[11:22] (Flashback) Teshima**
You started hurting on the fourth day,
so you were told to stop at 900 kilometers.
**[11:27] (Flashback) Teshima**
But you injured yourself further by
pushing yourself eighty kilometers more.
**[11:30] (Flashback) Teshima**
You still haven't been able to get over that!
**[11:32] (Flashback) Koga**
I've healed. There's nothing to worry about.
**[11:35] (Flashback) Koga**
I recover quickly.
**[11:37] (Flashback) Aoyagi**
Kimitaka...
**[11:39] (Flashback) Koga**
You know my nickname, don't you?
**[11:42] (Flashback) Koga**
I'm the iron man,
**[11:44] (Flashback) Koga**
the Stamina Simpleton.
**[11:48] (Flashback) Rider A**
Sohoku High School's first-year jumped ahead!
**[11:59] Koga**
*I'm the team's hope.*
**[12:02] (Flashback) Kinjou**
Your body is made for cycling.
**[12:04] (Flashback) Kinjou**
If you keep at it, you'll get better.
**[12:07] Koga**
*They expect great things for me.*
**[12:10] Koga**
*Kinjou-san's hopes...*
**[12:13] Koga**
*I'll...*
**[12:16] (Flashback) Fan**
There's a sharp turn at
the bottom of the hill!
**[12:20] Koga**
*I have to do well.*
**[12:25] Koga**
*I have to do...*
**[12:30] (Flashback) Fan B**
Someone fell!
**[12:31] (Flashback) Fan C**
Are you okay?
**[12:38] (Flashback) Aoyagi**
Teshima...
**[12:40] (Flashback) Teshima**
Kimitaka...
**[12:42] Announce**
*Number 73 has dropped out of the race.*
**[12:43] Announce**
*He seems to have hit his left shoulder hard.*
**[12:46] (Flashback) Teshima**
They took him away.
***SIGN*** Koga 73
**[12:49] Teshima**
*Should I have done more to stop him?*
**[12:54] Teshima**
*Damn it. Why, Kimitaka?*
**[13:00] Teshima**
It's nighttime now, Koga.
**[13:03] Teshima**
No, Kimitaka.
**[13:06] Teshima**
They'll be putting out the no passing
board by the finish line soon,
**[13:10] Teshima**
so we don't push ourselves too hard
at night and injure ourselves.
**[13:15] Koga**
Why? Nothing I did let me pull ahead of you.
**[13:19] Koga**
You, an ordinary man.
**[13:21] Teshima**
Kimitaka... That brings back memories.
**[13:25] Teshima**
I used to call you that
when we were still friends.
**[13:28] Teshima**
After your fall, as you were
stoically blaming yourself,
**[13:32] Teshima**
I couldn't say anything to you.
**[13:36] Teshima**
I'm glad you returned to this training
camp so we could speak our minds.
**[13:42] Teshima**
I believe there's a moment when
an ordinary man beats a genius.
**[13:49] Teshima**
Want to give it a try?
**[13:51] Teshima**
Let's race to the finish line
where the no passing sign is.
**[13:57] Koga**
Can I assume this race
will settle everything,
**[14:01] Koga**
Junta!
**[14:03] Teshima**
Yeah, that's right.
**[14:07] Teshima**
Kimitaka!
**[14:12] Sakamichi**
A-Aoyagi-san!
**[14:14] Naruko**
Are you taking a break?
**[14:23] Aoyagi**
You guys should watch this, too.
**[14:27] Naruko**
Is this the end of their race?
**[14:29] Kaburagi**
Teshima-san and Koga-senpai are...
**[14:32] Aoyagi**
They probably intend to decide
who will ride in the Inter-High.
**[14:38] Imaizumi**
Teshima-san has responded to all of
Koga-senpai's movements
**[14:41] Imaizumi**
and persistently kept up.
***SIGN*** Teshima Koga Aoyagi Imaizumi
**[14:44] Imaizumi**
We thought he was at a disadvantage,
but he's still just barely keeping even.
**[14:48] Imaizumi**
Is Teshima-san pushing and testing
himself to find his answer?
**[14:55] Aoyagi**
Junta...
**[14:58] (Flashback) Aoyagi**
Sorry for winning again, Teshima.
**[15:02] (Flashback) Teshima**
It's fine. I'm satisfied.
**[15:04] (Flashback) Teshima**
We beat the elites together.
**[15:07] (Flashback) Aoyagi**
You're the one who deserves
to be first, Teshima.
**[15:10] (Flashback) Aoyagi**
I'll assist you in the next race.
**[15:12] (Flashback) Teshima**
Don't you know?
**[15:15] (Flashback) Teshima**
I've never won a sprint to the finish before.
**[15:21] (Flashback) Aoyagi**
Teshima!
**[15:23] (Flashback) Teshima**
I struggled hard, but it was no use.
**[15:25] (Flashback) Teshima**
I'm 11th.
**[15:27] (Flashback) Teshima**
One shy of the top ten.
**[15:29] (Flashback) Teshima**
Sounds like me, right?
**[15:31] (Flashback) Teshima**
Even after you pulled for me.
**[15:34] (Flashback) Teshima**
Sorry.
**[15:37] (Flashback) Teshima**
My race with Koga will probably end
either tomorrow or the day after.
**[15:42] (Flashback) Teshima**
In my exhausted state, I have
to beat the genius Koga
**[15:45] (Flashback) Teshima**
in a finish line sprint,
which I've never won before.
**[15:50] Aoyagi**
*Junta...*
**[15:52] (Flashback) Teshima**
If it comes down to it, Aoyagi...
**[15:55] (Flashback) Teshima**
Will you cheer for me?
**[16:01] Teshima**
I'm at my limit.
**[16:03] Teshima**
I'm amazed my legs are still pedaling.
**[16:07] Teshima**
But I won't give up.
**[16:11] Teshima**
Why can't an ordinary man with ordinary legs
miraculously beat a genius just once?
**[16:18] Naruko**
They're close. I see two lights.
**[16:21] (Flashback) Teshima**
Will you cheer for me?
**[16:24] Aoyagi**
Of course. Who else would I be cheering for?
**[16:29] Aoyagi**
Junta!
**[16:31] Naruko**
Is Koga-senpai riding alone?
**[16:33] Imaizumi**
No, Teshima-san is right behind him.
**[16:37] Naruko**
Teshima-san is avoiding the wind by staying behind,
but he looks like he's struggling.
**[16:41] Aoyagi**
Junta...
**[16:44] (Flashback) Teshima**
Koga will go all out at the training camp.
**[16:47] (Flashback) Teshima**
I probably won't have time to be the captain.
**[16:50] (Flashback) Teshima**
Could you lead the team for me, then?
**[16:54] (Flashback) Aoyagi**
I understand. I'm the vice-captain.
**[16:58] (Flashback) Teshima**
I don't want to have any regrets.
**[17:01] (Flashback) Teshima**
If I fail, this will be the last time.
**[17:08] Aoyagi**
I'm uncertain about facing
the Inter-High without you.
**[17:16] Teshima**
Keep moving. Don't stop.
**[17:18] Teshima**
Do what you've never done before.
**[17:22] Koga**
You still had that much strength left, Junta?
**[17:26] Teshima**
I'm going to the Inter-High!
**[17:31] Naruko**
They're neck and neck!
**[17:33] Kaburagi**
Teshima-san's pulling ahead!
**[17:35] Kaburagi**
I've never seen Teshima-san so strong before.
**[17:38] Kaburagi**
He's going to make it.
**[17:41] Naruko**
Did you notice, hotshot?
**[17:44] Imaizumi**
Naruko...
**[17:45] Naruko**
Since the sprint started,
Koga-senpai hasn't...
**[17:48] Imaizumi**
...stood up from his saddle once.
**[17:51] Koga**
One hundred and fifty meters left.
That's enough.
**[17:58] Imaizumi**
Koga-senpai...
**[18:00] Naruko**
Stood up!
**[18:09] Koga**
I'll do it.
**[18:12] Teshima**
What's wrong, guys? I can't hear you.
**[18:16] Teshima**
No one's crossed the finish line yet.
**[18:19] Teshima**
I guess it can't be helped.
**[18:21] Teshima**
It's always been this way.
**[18:24] Teshima**
No one's ever expected anything from me.
**[18:28] (Flashback) Senpai A**
Class 1-5, Teshima Junta.
**[18:31] (Flashback) Teshima**
Yes, sir.
**[18:32] (Flashback) Senpai B**
You're skinny.
**[18:33] (Flashback) Senpai A**
Your jersey looks new. Are you a beginner?
**[18:37] (Flashback) Teshima**
Ah... I rode in middle school.
**[18:41] (Flashback) Teshima**
I thought I could turn over
a new leaf with this jersey.
**[18:43] (Flashback) Senpai B**
You're Koga, huh?
**[18:45] (Flashback) Senpai A**
We've heard about you.
**[18:50] (Flashback) Senpai**
This training camp is hard. Do your best.
**[18:53] (Flashback) Senpai**
Kinjou, Tadokoro, Makishima, and first-year Koga,
finish your thousand kilometers.
**[18:58] (Flashback) Senpai**
Teshima, ride as hard as you can.
**[19:02] (Flashback) Teshima**
Huh? Yes, sir.
**[19:03] Teshima**
*"As hard as I can?"*
**[19:06] Teshima**
He doesn't expect a thousand
kilometers from me.
**[19:10] (Flashback) Tadokoro**
I'm the one who trained Teshima and Aoyagi.
**[19:15] Teshima**
Tadokoro-san's the only
one who believed in me.
**[19:19] (Flashback) Tadokoro**
That's enough, Teshima, Aoyagi.
**[19:24] Teshima**
I couldn't meet his expectations.
**[19:27] Teshima**
But I understand now.
**[19:31] Teshima**
I was jealous of how everyone
expected so much from Koga.
**[19:36] Teshima**
I thought I could work harder if
they had high expectations for me.
**[19:41] Teshima**
But I was wrong.
**[19:44] Teshima**
It should've been obvious once
I thought about it. That's right.
**[19:47] Teshima**
Unless I work hard,
no one will expect anything.
**[19:51] Teshima**
Can I do something I've never done before now?
**[19:55] Teshima**
I can. There's one man standing
over there who believes in me.
**[20:01] Aoyagi**
Junta, win!
**[20:03] Teshima**
I'll become stronger. I'll become stronger.
**[20:06] Teshima**
Because I'm weak.
**[20:14] Koga**
This is it!
**[20:20] Koga**
H-He's beside me?
**[20:26] Aoyagi**
Junta!
***SIGN*** Aoyagi
***SIGN*** Teshima Aoyagi
***SIGN*** Teshima Koga Aoyagi
**[20:35] Naruko**
Teshima-san won the race!
**[20:44] Koga**
I... lost? I lost a sprint?
**[20:50] Koga**
When I passed him at the end,
I didn't think he'd pass me back.
**[20:57] (Flashback) Teshima**
I believe there's a moment when
an ordinary man beats a genius.
**[21:04] Teshima**
Crap. I'm at my limit.
**[21:07] Koga**
An ordinary man beats a genius...
**[21:12] Teshima**
Kimitaka!
**[21:15] Teshima**
That was close.
**[21:19] Koga**
I can't believe you wore me down so much.
**[21:22] Koga**
Me, the Stamina Simpleton.
**[21:26] Koga**
Thank you, Junta.
**[21:29] Koga**
Your eyes are brimming with confidence.
**[21:36] Koga**
Sohoku High School's fate is in your hands.
**[21:38] Koga**
Go win, Junta.
**[23:17] Aoyagi**
Junta...
**[23:27] Teshima**
Aoyagi, my hair's silky now, too.
**[23:29] Aoyagi**
Junta?
**[23:34] Aoyagi**
Junta...

**[01:42] Aoyagi**
You worked so hard.
**[01:44] Aoyagi**
That must've been difficult, Junta.
**[01:46] Aoyagi**
My wishes and support
didn't help you one bit.
**[01:51] Aoyagi**
It was all your strength.
**[01:53] Aoyagi**
You did it all on your own.
**[01:56] Aoyagi**
Congratulations, Junta.
**[02:06] Teshima**
I knew you were coming right away.
**[02:08] Teshima**
That's a convenient device.
**[02:10] Aoyagi**
Junta.
**[02:12] Teshima**
Sorry. I'm taking a break.
**[02:15] Koga**
A break?
**[02:16] Koga**
You said your legs and back were
cramping and brought me down with you.
**[02:21] Teshima**
Your leg cramped up first.
**[02:23] Koga**
M-My legs didn't cramp!
**[02:25] Koga**
I'm the one they call the Stamina Simpleton!
**[02:28] Teshima**
You're the one who lost his
balance first, Kimitaka!
**[02:31] Koga**
No, it was you, Junta!
**[02:33] Teshima**
No, you!
**[02:34] Koga**
No, you!
**[02:35] Aoyagi**
It doesn't matter who it was.
**[02:40] Teshima**
You're right, Aoyagi.
**[02:42] Koga**
You're right. It doesn't matter.
**[02:45] Koga**
It's been a while since
we spoke face to face.
**[02:49] Koga**
Our first-year Inter-High was the last time.
**[02:53] Koga**
But I'm glad I gave everything I had then.
**[02:58] Koga**
Given the team's situation, I was
the only one who could go for it.
**[03:02] Koga**
Even when I had it to do over,
I think I would still do it.
**[03:06] Koga**
I gave everything I had in that race.
**[03:09] Koga**
What happened was unfortunate,
but I don't regret it.
**[03:13] Teshima**
Kimitaka...
**[03:15] Koga**
It's frustrating, but it can't be helped.
**[03:17] Koga**
Let's ride.
**[03:19] Teshima**
What?
**[03:20] Koga**
Isn't this a training camp?
**[03:22] Koga**
There's still something I have to
do before my three years are up.
**[03:26] Koga**
I'm a man of only 980 kilometers.
**[03:30] Koga**
So I must complete one thousand kilometers.
**[03:33] Sakamichi**
Good work, Koga-san. That was amazing.
**[03:37] Sakamichi**
During last year's Inter-High,
**[03:39] Sakamichi**
thanks for staying behind for us
and supporting Sohoku High School.
**[03:44] Koga**
I'll be going this year, Onoda.
**[03:46] Koga**
I'll support the team with all my might.
**[03:48] Sakamichi**
Thank you.
**[03:50] Koga**
Imaizumi...
**[03:52] Koga**
You're a second-year ace,
just like Kinjou-san was back then.
**[03:58] Koga**
Don't waver. Attack.
**[04:00] Koga**
We'll be counting on you near the finish line.
**[04:02] Imaizumi**
Yes, sir.
**[04:03] Koga**
Naruko...
**[04:04] Koga**
Looks like you're working on something
new to surprise us again this year.
**[04:11] Naruko**
It'll be a piece of cake.
**[04:13] Naruko**
I'll be heating things up
this summer to 300 degrees!
**[04:18] Imaizumi**
Don't burn yourself to death.
**[04:21] Koga**
Kaburagi, are you feeling uneasy?
**[04:24] Koga**
You're the only first-year.
**[04:26] Koga**
I was the only one, too.
**[04:28] Koga**
Give everything you've got.
**[04:30] Koga**
It's the only way you'll be
able to see the next step.
**[04:34] Kaburagi**
Yes, sir.
**[04:34] Teshima**
Don't be too unreasonable, Kimitaka.
**[04:38] Koga**
And you guys... I don't have
to tell you what to do.
**[04:42] Koga**
I know how hard you've worked until now.
**[04:47] Koga**
One last thing. Get injured.
**[04:50] All**
What?
**[04:52] Koga**
And then I'll ride in the Inter-High for you!
**[04:54] Naruko**
No way.
**[04:56] Teshima**
Does that mean you'll replace us
if we let our guard down?
**[04:59] Sakamichi**
We'll be careful.
**[05:02] Koga**
Do your best. Don't get hurt.
**[05:07] Koga**
It's all right. You can come
to me for advice anytime.
**[05:14] Koga**
I know a lot about injuries.
**[05:22] Midosuzi**
Here we go.
**[05:29] Employee**
I'm sorry, but the five-kilometer
course is reserved.
***SIGN*** Reserved
**[05:32] Midosuzi**
Well, that's a shock.

I heard this place was famous.

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

**[19:05] Kaburagi**
Spri...
**[19:08] Kaburagi**
Spring, like the season.
**[19:13] Kaburagi**
How can I go faster?
**[19:16] Naruko**
He's coming!
**[19:17] Sakamichi**
You can do it, Koga-san!
**[19:19] Koga**
Almost there.
**[19:23] Koga**
Kinjou-san,
**[19:25] Koga**
it took me a while, but I...
**[19:29] Koga**
...finally completed the
thousand-kilometer training camp.
**[19:33] Teshima**
Good work, Kimitaka.
**[19:36] Koga**
That was a long thousand kilometers.
**[19:38] Teshima**
I know.
**[19:41] Koga**
It took me three years.
**[19:44] Teshima**
That doesn't change the fact that you did it.

Will you...

That one doesn't count. Reset, reset.

I didn't have any plans for summer break,

thinking about coming to cheer on the

**[03:47] Miki**
"Want to take the bus with us this year?"
**[03:50] Aya**
And she invited me along.
**[03:52] Aya**
I got Teshima-senpai's permission.
**[03:54] Sakamichi**
Really?
**[03:55] Miki**
You'll be working hard to earn your place.
**[03:57] Aya**
Yikes, you're strict.
**[03:59] Aya**
Anyway, I thought I'd watch you ride again.
**[04:04] Sakamichi**
What?
**[04:06] Aya**
It's hot, but good luck.
**[04:09] Sakamichi**
G-Good...
**[04:11] Miki**
You told him exactly how you felt, Aya-chan.
**[04:13] Aya**
D-Don't say it like that.
**[04:15] Aya**
He'll think it means something.
**[04:17] Aya**
Stop smiling. Stop clapping.

Of course they have.

Oh, right. Teshima-san...

**[09:08] Naruko**
Take a picture of me, manager.
**[09:09] Naruko**

They're so excited.

Look, hotshot. Single digits.
**[09:15] Aya**
Are single-digit tags that big a deal?
**[09:16] Imaizumi**
Shut up. I know.
**[09:17] Imaizumi**
I have one, too.
**[09:18] Miki**
Yeah. Look.
**[09:19] Miki**
The other teams have
two or three-digit tags.
**[09:22] Aya**
You're right.
**[09:23] Miki**
The number on the left represents
their approximate rank last year.
**[09:27] Miki**
The single digit tags
mean they won last year.
**[09:31] Aya**
Huh.
**[09:32] Miki**
The number on the right is
their rank within their team.
**[09:35] Miki**
Since each team has six riders,
they range from one to six.
**[09:39] Miki**
One is a special number.
It's the ace's number.
**[09:43] Aya**
Cycling is interesting.
**[09:45] Miki**
Isn't it?
**[09:47] Sakamichi**
Um, Teshima-san...
**[09:50] Sakamichi**
This tag...
**[09:51] Teshima**
Why not? I think it looks good on you.
**[09:54] Sakamichi**
But isn't this Imaizumi-kun's?
**[09:58] Imaizumi**
Huh?
**[09:59] Teshima**
Every race is the same.
**[10:01] Teshima**
When the previous winner rides again,
he's given that tag.
**[10:06] Teshima**
It's a symbol of victory.
**[10:09] Teshima**
The #1 tag.
**[10:14] Teshima**
It's a symbol of victory.
**[10:16] Teshima**
The #1 tag.
**[10:20] Sakamichi**
I'm... #1.

If last year's winner was a third-year who's
since graduated, its meaning may be different.
**[10:29] Aoyagi**

I haven't seen this orange head

It wasn't luck that Sohoku High School won.

The real truth, and the lie that
people are convinced is the truth.
**[15:51] Doubashi**
He's the latter.
**[15:52] Doubashi**
He's wearing a crown he
won through sheer luck,
**[15:54] Doubashi**
but everyone's too scared
to doing anything about it.
**[15:57] Kaburagi**
You're wrong!
**[15:58] Doubashi**
Have you ever tested him?
**[16:00] Doubashi**

He disguises himself as

Everyone fawns over him
and thinks he's amazing.

Is he stronger than everyone
else you've ever met?
**[16:18] Kaburagi**

I saw him on Mt. Fuji at
last year's Inter-High!
**[16:24] Kaburagi**
He's the real thing!
**[16:26] Kaburagi**
He's the reason I abandoned the other schools
and chose to come to Sohoku High School!
**[16:31] Doubashi**
Are you sure you're not just viewing
things through a self-imposed filter?
**[16:35] Kaburagi**
What?
**[16:36] Doubashi**
Sohoku High School is strong.
At least, they should be.
**[16:40] Doubashi**
They have to be strong.
**[16:42] Doubashi**
Otherwise, the path you've followed
**[16:45] Doubashi**
and all your work would be meaningless.

the most members of any team.
**[17:05] Doubashi**
No one can compare to how much we practice.

The strongest are chosen at the Inter-High.

**[19:53] Mc**
Bearer of number tag #1.
**[19:54] Mc**
The little climber, Onoda Sakamichi.
**[19:58] Mc**
Your dramatic riding during the final stage
of last year's third day was fantastic.
**[20:03] Mc**
Could you give us a few words?
**[20:04] Sakamichi**
What? Uh, um... h-hello...
**[20:08] Sakamichi**
I'm Onyoda Chakamichi!
**[20:12] Kaburagi**
I...
**[20:14] Mc**
What are your goals for this year?
**[20:16] Sakamichi**
Th-This year?
**[20:19] Sakamichi**
This year I've been going
to Akiba every Thursday...
**[20:21] Naruko**
Onoda-kun, the audience already loves you!
**[20:24] Kaburagi**
It's true that I didn't see
all of last year's race.
**[20:24] Mc**
I meant your goals for the race.
**[20:27] Sakamichi**
Oh, my goals.
**[20:29] Sakamichi**
Well, I...
**[20:30] Mc**
You don't need to hold the mic.
**[20:32] Kaburagi**
I didn't actually see how he
rode during the Inter-High.
**[20:38] Sakamichi**
I'll do my best, and... yeah,
I'll do my best at the end.
**[20:39] Kaburagi**
Is he actually strong?
**[20:44] Sakamichi**
Oh, uh, is that enough?
**[20:46] Kaburagi**
Is this team...
**[20:47] Mc**
Finally, there's first-year Kaburagi Issa.
**[20:51] Kaburagi**
...actually strong?
**[20:54] Doubashi**
I've trained harder than everyone else.
**[20:57] Doubashi**
I'll knock them aside.
**[20:59] Doubashi**
It'll be easy.
**[21:01] Izumida**
You're doing well, Doubashi,
but don't go too hard.
**[21:05] Izumida**
Our mechanic was crying about it.
**[21:08] Izumida**
I heard you bent another one out of shape,
**[21:10] Izumida**
even though he just swapped it out yesterday.
**[21:13] Doubashi**
The handlebars were too weak.
**[21:16] Doubashi**
They can't withstand the
power of my sprinting.
**[21:19] Reporter A**
He's only on rollers,
but he's still intimidating.
**[21:21] Reporter B**
I heard he's won all the sprint races
he's participated in this year.
**[21:26] Reporter A**
Yeah, apparently it's unprecedented.
**[21:29] Reporter A**
They call him the Monster of the Road.
**[21:32] Reporter**
Road Monster Doubashi!
**[21:36] Doubashi**
No one stands a chance against me!
**[23:12] Girl B**
He looked this way!
**[23:13] Girl C**
Hold that pose!
**[23:15] Kuroda**
He sure does have a lot of fans.
**[23:17] Kuroda**
He might have more than
Toudou-san did last year.
**[23:20] Doubashi**
Manami, make them shut up!
**[23:22] Doubashi**
I can't focus!
**[23:24] Manami**
What?
**[23:25] Manami**
Oh.
**[23:32] Kuroda**
Why did you make them louder?

I always wash my hands before riding you.

Why is the masseuse riding, but I'm out?

You have a lot of friends,
don't you? That's why.
**[02:20] (Flashback) Hironishi**
What?
**[02:21] (Flashback) Midousuji**
You told all your friends you'd
be riding in the Inter-High.
**[02:27] (Flashback) Hironishi**
Of course I did. It's an honor.

You told me I was the sixth man.

Because I knew you'd tell everyone.
**[02:42] (Flashback) Midousuji**
Everyone must've thought
**[02:44] (Flashback) Midousuji**
this year's Kyoto Fushimi High School
was so weak that even you made the cut.
**[02:50] (Flashback) Hironishi**
My parents came all the

**[02:53] (Flashback) Hironishi**
My friends came to cheer me on, too.

You're weaker than a Zaku.
**[03:16] (Flashback) Midousuji**
You're always falling behind in practice.
You could never keep up.
**[03:20] (Flashback) Midousuji**
Did you think you were strong
enough to ride on my team?
**[03:26] (Flashback) Hironishi**
I thought I had some hidden
talent or something.
**[03:31] (Flashback) Midousuji**
That's why you'll never be more than a Zaku.
**[03:36] (Flashback) Midousuji**
How naïve.
**[03:38] (Flashback) Midousuji**
I'll use Komari-kun during the race.

He's fast.

His form is beautiful, too.

Kyoto Fushimi High School
seemed like an army last year,
**[04:36] Rider 2**
but now they've got guys like him.
**[04:38] Rider 2**
The way he rides is rhythmical.
**[04:40] Rider 2**
It's like he's been set loose.
**[04:45] Komari**
The 1.5 kilometer road encircling
the Inter-High grounds...
**[04:49] Komari**
Participants are using it to warm up.
**[04:51] Komari**
He must be among them.
**[04:56] Komari**
Anyway, I feel great.
**[04:58] Komari**
I think I'll be able to hear
plenty of your voice today.
**[05:07] Komari**
There he is!
**[05:08] Komari**
Calm down. The race hasn't started yet.
**[05:11] Komari**
Approach quietly. Quietly.
**[05:14] Komari**
Quietly approach him and nonchalantly touch him.
**[05:18] Sugimoto**
I'm honored you invited me
to ride with you, Imaizumi.
**[05:23] Sugimoto**
I know you're just warming up,
**[05:25] Sugimoto**
but I can't believe we're riding
together at the Inter-High grounds.
**[05:29] Imaizumi**
It could've been anyone.
**[05:31] Sugimoto**
What?
**[05:32] Imaizumi**
Teshima-san said it wouldn't be good if
something happened while I was riding alone,
**[05:36] Imaizumi**
so he told me to go with someone.
**[05:37] Sugimoto**
Y-You're right. Problems can be difficult
to handle when you're riding alone.
**[05:41] Sugimoto**
You can count on me.
Problems are something I've—
**[05:44] Imaizumi**
You seemed the least busy.
**[05:46] Sugimoto**
What?
**[05:48] Sugimoto**
It's still an honor, though.
**[05:50] Sugimoto**
Sugimoto Terufumi has never been
more honored in his life, Imaizumi.
**[05:55] Sugimoto**
You chose me during a time as important
as just before the Inter-High.
**[05:58] Sugimoto**
You're strong, Imaizumi.
**[06:02] Sugimoto**
Sometimes, I think about the amazing guys
on our team, including Naruko and Onoda.
**[06:09] Sugimoto**
On top of that, we're in the same class.
**[06:12] Sugimoto**
It must be a miracle.
**[06:16] Sugimoto**
Since I lost to Kaburagi that day,
I can't ride in the Inter-High.
**[06:21] Sugimoto**
But during that first-year race,
you told me to hold my head high.
**[06:26] Sugimoto**
I failed to accomplish anything, but rather
than scolding me, that's what you said.
**[06:31] Sugimoto**
I've been thinking since that day.
**[06:34] Sugimoto**
I worked hard because I was
influenced by you and Onoda.
**[06:38] Sugimoto**
Maybe, just maybe my riding—
and this may be brazen of me—
**[06:45] Sugimoto**
But maybe I'm influencing you
and Onoda just a little bit.
**[06:51] Sugimoto**
It builds up over time.
This warm up could be part of it.
**[06:55] Sugimoto**
And if it helps you during the Inter-High...
**[06:59] Sugimoto**
Then I have no regrets.
**[07:01] Sugimoto**
I'm proud of myself.
**[07:04] Sugimoto**
Go ride your heart out, Imaizumi.
**[07:08] Imaizumi**
That hurts. Where did that come from?
**[07:10] Sugimoto**
Huh? What?
**[07:13] Sugimoto**
Sorry. I guess you could say it's my dream.
**[07:15] Sugimoto**
I got carried away.
**[07:17] Imaizumi**
I'm joking.
**[07:19] Imaizumi**
You've definitely moved me.
**[07:23] Sugimoto**
What?
**[07:24] Imaizumi**
You can count on me.
**[07:28] Imaizumi**
Kyoto Fushimi High School?
I didn't notice him.
**[07:36] Sugimoto**
Imaizumi!
**[07:43] Komari**
You're Imaizumi-san.
**[07:45] Komari**
I heard you did a lot last year.
**[07:48] Komari**
I've heard about you.
**[07:50] Komari**
I'm glad we got to meet.
**[07:53] Imaizumi**
Has this guy always been on the
Kyoto Fushimi High School team?
**[07:56] Imaizumi**
Is he a first-year?
**[07:57] Komari**
I'm sorry. I was so delighted,
I lost my balance.
**[08:02] Komari**
I let out a moan. His muscles are nice.
**[08:05] Komari**
But...
**[08:06] Komari**
Are you not feeling well?
**[08:08] Sugimoto**
Wh-What's wrong with you? Imaizumi's
always in perfect shape.
**[08:13] Sugimoto**
How rude.
**[08:16] Komari**
It was rough.
**[08:18] Komari**
Am I right?
**[08:21] Sugimoto**
I told you...
**[08:23] Komari**

We made it pretty far, but we were

**[08:58] Teshima**
I see.
**[09:00] Higashido**
I'm jealous.
**[09:03] Higashido**
That you get to fight at nationals,

Good luck, Teshima.

I quit the Minami Middle School bicycle club
we rode in to join the volleyball club.
**[09:21] Higashido**
You kept riding.
**[09:23] Higashido**
It must've been hard to become a
regular on a team that won nationals.
**[09:27] Higashido**
But you bounced back. It's amazing.
**[09:31] Higashido**
Don't feel bad about it.

I know you haven't accomplished much,
but I believe from the bottom of my heart...

fell off during practice?

I fixed it for you.

Oh, that Machida-kun.
**[10:52] Higashido**
Yeah—no, not Machida.
**[10:55] Higashido**
He barely ever came to practice.
**[10:58] Ashikiba**
Oh, Machida-kun.

You haven't changed, Machida-kun.

Come here. Let's take a picture together.
**[11:16] Ashikiba**
Sorry, Machida-kun. Since we're
enemies, I can't go any closer.

Overthrowing Sohoku High School is our mission.
**[11:28] Higashido**
Oh, right. Last year,
Hakone Academy High School...
**[11:32] Ashikiba**
I'll beat you.
**[11:34] Ashikiba**
That's all I came to say.
**[11:37] Teshima**
I see.
**[11:39] Ashikiba**
Jun-chan, you said we'd
conquer the world together.
**[11:45] Ashikiba**
But sorry. Only one of us
can win at this Inter-High.
**[11:52] Ashikiba**
We can't do it together.
**[11:57] Teshima**
I guess not, since we're on different teams.
**[12:01] Ashikiba**
It'll be Hakone Academy High School.
**[12:03] Teshima**
I can't allow that.
**[12:07] Teshima**
Good luck to both of us.
**[12:14] Ashikiba**
I can't accept something from an enemy.
**[12:18] Ashikiba**
You were nice to me.
You taught me how to ride a bike.
**[12:23] Ashikiba**
But the seniors at Hakone Academy High School,
who have graduated now,
**[12:28] Ashikiba**
taught me how to become stronger
and where I belonged.
**[12:33] Ashikiba**
So I'm going to help this team win this year.

Second time pressure?

That's right. He's a serious man.

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

The first time you can ride freely
because everything is new.
**[16:08] Koga**
But the second time...
**[16:10] Koga**
Doing the same thing twice
is a herculean task.
**[16:14] Koga**
If Onoda's mental condition hasn't
recovered by the time the race starts,
**[16:19] Koga**
then Sohoku High School...
**[16:22] Aoyagi**
That's all, Kimitaka?
**[16:26] Aoyagi**
You said you wanted to talk.
**[16:27] Koga**
Aoyagi...
**[16:29] Aoyagi**
It's simple. I know.
**[16:32] Aoyagi**
You didn't know, Kimitaka? He's...
**[16:36] Announce**
The bearer of tag #1 has arrived,
Sohoku High School's Onoda Sakamichi.
**[16:42] Fan 1**
Onoda, do it again this year!
**[16:42] Announce**
He's being escorted to the course by
second-years Naruko-kun and Imaizumi-kun.
**[16:45] Girl**
Onoda-kun is so cute!
**[16:52] Naruko**
This isn't good.
**[16:53] Imaizumi**
He's hopeless.
**[16:57] Sakamichi**
I can finally get in line
and take a breather.
**[17:01] Naruko**
Nah, we're in the front.
**[17:03] Imaizumi**
We were last year's winning team.
**[17:06] Sakamichi**
Huh? What?
**[17:14] Fan 2**
You've got this!
**[17:16] Fan 3**
Show us again this year!
**[17:18] Sakamichi**
I can't handle being the center of attention.
**[17:20] Naruko**
You can't tell them not
to look at you up here.
**[17:24] Imaizumi**
There are plenty of cameras here, too.
**[17:28] Reporter 1**
What kind of call was that?
**[17:29] Reporter 2**
What does it mean?
**[17:33] Naruko**
You're awful.
**[17:34] Aya**
That can't be good.
**[17:36] Miki**
Onoda-kun's shaking.
**[17:38] Aya**
Should I jump in there and pop him one?
**[17:40] Aya**
The pain might knock the tension out of him.
**[17:43] Miki**
We can't go inside since
the race is starting.
**[17:46] Aya**
What are we going to do
about him, then? He's #1.
**[17:50] Sakamichi**
Calm down. Calm down.
**[17:52] Sakamichi**
Calm down, calm down...
**[17:55] Sakamichi**
It's no use. I can't stop shaking.
**[17:58] Sakamichi**
I can't feel my hands. What should I do?
**[18:01] Sakamichi**
How do I ride a bike?
**[18:05] Sakamichi**
I have to do something. I'm #1.
**[18:08] Sakamichi**
I'm #1! I have to do something myself...
**[18:15] Sakamichi**
Aoyagi-san...
**[18:16] Aya**
Just one punch.
**[18:20] Aoyagi**
Are you trying to relax?
**[18:21] Sakamichi**
Um, I...
**[18:24] Sakamichi**
Yes.
**[18:26] Aoyagi**
Then I have one thing to say to you.
**[18:30] Sakamichi**
Okay.
**[18:32] Aoyagi**
I learned a lot from Tadokoro-san.
**[18:35] Aoyagi**
How to ride. How to race.
**[18:37] Aoyagi**
How to endure.
**[18:39] Aoyagi**
Etiquette and greetings. How to eat.
**[18:42] Aoyagi**
The will to win. The importance
of aiming for the finish line.
**[18:47] Aoyagi**
It's not just things he taught me.
**[18:49] Aoyagi**
I learned a lot from watching him, too.
**[18:52] Aoyagi**
What did you learn from Makishima-san?
**[18:54] Sakamichi**
I... I... I, uh...
**[18:58] Aoyagi**
It may be hard to put into words,
**[19:00] Aoyagi**
but there should be a lot of
things you learned from him.
**[19:14] Aoyagi**
It should be flowing through
the veins inside your body.
**[19:20] Aoyagi**
Think you can't do what you did last year?
**[19:24] Aoyagi**
Of course not.
**[19:25] Aoyagi**
Because you've gotten stronger.
**[19:28] Aoyagi**
You bear the souls of our seniors.
**[19:32] Aoyagi**
Sohoku High School is a team
that supports one another.
**[19:35] Aoyagi**
It applies to races, but that's not all.
**[19:38] Aoyagi**
You're a second-year now.
**[19:40] Aoyagi**
That's the most different thing about you.
**[19:43] Aoyagi**
There's going to be a
first-year riding this year.
**[19:46] Aoyagi**
Carry on their legacy. Teach him.
**[19:48] Aoyagi**
Show him with your riding.
**[19:49] Aoyagi**
Show him everything you have in this race.
**[19:52] Aoyagi**
Then Kaburagi will pass it
on to the next generation.
**[19:56] Aoyagi**
Sohoku High School will become even stronger.
**[19:59] Sakamichi**
The next generation...
**[20:02] (Flashback) Makishima**
Become stronger.
**[20:03] Sakamichi**
He's right. I've already received something.
**[20:07] Sakamichi**
I'm holding so many things inside this hand.
**[20:11] Sakamichi**
The courage to take the first step...
**[20:12] Sakamichi**
Friends who support me...
**[20:14] (Flashback) Makishima**
We're counting on you to
carry our Sohoku, Sakamichi.
**[20:20] Sakamichi**
Got it.
**[20:23] Sakamichi**
I'll make Sohoku High School stronger.
**[20:26] Sakamichi**
Guys!
**[20:30] Koga**
Aoyagi...
**[20:31] Koga**
I see.
**[20:33] (Flashback) Aoyagi**
It's simple. I'll give him a job.
**[20:37] (Flashback) Koga**
A job?
**[20:38] (Flashback) Aoyagi**
I'll narrow down what he
has to do to one thing.
**[20:42] (Flashback) Aoyagi**
That will make him strong.
**[20:45] (Flashback) Teshima**
Climb past 100 guys!
**[20:47] (Flashback) Aoyagi**
He already has the mindset
to charge straight ahead.
**[20:54] Koga**
Aoyagi Hajime, you're unbelievable.
**[20:59] Sakamichi**
Let's go!
**[21:00] Naruko**
Yeah!
**[21:00] Imaizumi**
I've been waiting for this!
**[21:02] Teshima**
I was going to do that.
Don't take that from me!
**[21:07] Sakamichi**
We are one!
**[21:09] All**
Yeah!
**[21:13] Fan 1**
Wow, it's starting to heat up.
**[21:15] Fan 2**
This year's Inter-High
should be on fire, too.
**[21:18] Fan 3**
It's time!
**[21:18] Announce**
The race will begin shortly.
**[21:22] Fan 4**
It's starting!
**[21:24] Sakamichi**
The hot sun...
**[21:25] Announce**
Ten seconds.
**[21:26] Sakamichi**
The cheers...
**[21:27] Announce**
Nine, eight, seven...
**[21:29] Sakamichi**
I can practically hear their heartbeats.
**[21:32] Announce**
Six, five, four...
**[21:33] Sakamichi**
It's starting. The white-hot race...
**[21:36] Announce**
Three, two, one!
**[21:37] Sakamichi**
The Inter-High!
**[23:14] (Flashback) Makishima**
I wonder how many will
remain after this year's.
**[23:17] (Flashback) Kinjou**
Who knows?
**[23:19] (Flashback) Kinjou**
Sakurai is a second-year.
He's riding with Aoyagi.
**[23:21] (Flashback) Sakurai**
Th-Thank you.
**[23:23] (Flashback) Kinjou**
Sugimoto is a second-year.
He's riding with Teshima.
**[23:26] (Flashback) Teshima**
Hey.
**[23:27] (Flashback) Sugimoto**
Thank you.
**[23:30] (Flashback) Kinjou**
This is the strongest
lineup I've come up with.

**[00:12] Sakamichi**
So many people breathing...
**[00:15] Sakamichi**
We've only just started down this road,
but it leads to the distant finish line.
**[00:22] Sakamichi**
Calm down, calm down...
**[00:24] Sakamichi**
I'll probably never get
used to this excitement.
**[00:29] Sakamichi**
Everyone here is riding for the finish line.
**[00:32] Sakamichi**
My second Inter-High has begun.
**[00:36] Sakamichi**
There's no turning back now.
***SIGN*** Yowamushi Pedal
**[02:10] Fans**
You can do it!
**[02:12] Sakamichi**
I can feel the pressure emanating from them.
***SIGN*** RIDE.18 The Swelling Aoyagi
**[02:18] Imaizumi**
Calm down. We're still in the parade section.
**[02:21] Fans**
Sohoku!
**[02:21] Sakamichi**
What?
**[02:22] Imaizumi**
Don't you remember last year?
**[02:23] Fans**
Onoda!
**[02:24] Imaizumi**
The first two kilometers
of the race are a parade.
**[02:26] Fans**
Imaizumi!
**[02:26] Imaizumi**
It's a chance to respond
to the cheers of the crowd.
**[02:28] Fans**
Naruko!
**[02:29] Imaizumi**
We're last year's champions.
**[02:32] Sakamichi**
R-Right.
**[02:35] Imaizumi**
Look at him. He's really getting into it.
**[02:37] Naruko**
Thank you, thank you! Thank you, thank you!
**[02:40] Naruko**
That's right! I'm Naruko Shoukichi,
the Red Bullet!
**[02:43] Naruko**
I'm going to be flashy again this year!
**[02:45] Sakamichi**
Naruko-kun is amazing.
**[02:47] Imaizumi**
He's overdoing it.
**[02:49] Imaizumi**
No, wait. Hakone Academy High School
might've been just as...
**[02:53] Imaizumi**
No, they weren't.
**[02:54] Imaizumi**
No, wait. Maybe him...
**[03:01] Imaizumi**
Does everyone who wears
tag #3 act like that?
**[03:05] Teshima**
The pressure's different when there are this
many people in the crowd. Right, Aoyagi?
**[03:09] Teshima**
The Inter-High is on its own level.
**[03:13] Teshima**
This is our last chance to relax.
**[03:15] Teshima**
Let me say this while I still
have the chance, Hajime.
**[03:19] Teshima**
We finally made it.
**[03:21] Teshima**
We're on this side of the fence.
**[03:26] Teshima**
It took three years from that day.
**[03:29] Teshima**
We couldn't bring Tadokoro-san with us.
**[03:34] Teshima**
It's our first and last Inter-High.
**[03:36] Teshima**
I'm counting on you, Hajime.
**[03:39] Aoyagi**
Yeah, Junta.
**[03:43] Teshima**
I'm trembling.
**[03:44] Aoyagi**
Don't worry. I'll stop it for you.
**[03:47] Teshima**
I'm relieved.
**[03:51] Rider A**
Hakone Academy High School.
**[03:52] Rider B**
The repeat champions possess
a different kind of intensity.
**[03:54] Rider C**
They seem so composed despite the tension.
**[03:57] Rider C**
They're like predators closing in on prey.
**[03:59] Rider A**
Prey? You mean Sohoku High School?
**[04:01] Rider C**
No, you idiot.
**[04:02] Rider B**
Then who?
**[04:03] Rider C**
Isn't it obvious?
**[04:05] Rider C**
Hakone Academy High School's
prey is all of us!
**[04:09] Rider C**
The first result and green tag for
the fastest sprinter on the flats.
**[04:13] Rider C**
The glorious red tag for the
best climber in the mountains.
**[04:17] Rider C**
The champion's yellow tag.
**[04:20] Rider C**
They'll be going for all of them.
**[04:22] Rider C**
They have the right members to do it.
**[04:24] Sakamichi**
Excuse me. Excuse me.
**[04:25] Sakamichi**
Coming through.
**[04:27] Rider A**
What's going on? Someone's coming back.
**[04:27] Sakamichi**
Excuse me. Sorry.
**[04:29] Rider B**
Is that Sohoku High School?
**[04:29] Sakamichi**
Excuse me. Coming through.
**[04:31] Rider C**
And he's wearing tag #1!
**[04:36] Sakamichi**
Manami-kun!
**[04:37] Sakamichi**
I finally found you.
**[04:39] Manami**
Sakamichi-kun...
**[04:41] Izumida**
Onoda...
**[04:42] Kuroda**
This guy is...
**[04:43] Kaburagi**
...Onoda Sakamichi.
**[04:44] Yuto**
Wow, tag #1!
**[04:48] Sakamichi**
I tried to go see you before the
race started, but I was too busy.
**[04:51] Sakamichi**
I, um...
**[04:54] Sakamichi**
I'm a second-year now.
**[04:57] Manami**
I know. So am I.
**[05:02] Manami**
It's been a while.
**[05:03] Sakamichi**
Yeah. I didn't get to see you guys in Akiba.
**[05:06] Sakamichi**
I got your water bottle, though.
**[05:09] Manami**
That's great.
**[05:10] Manami**
We haven't ridden together since that day.
***SIGN*** Closed For Winter
**[05:24] (Flashback) Toudou**
What's wrong? You both seem down.
**[05:27] (Flashback) Toudou**
We're in the mountains. We're climbing.
**[05:28] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
But it's winter.
**[05:30] (Flashback) Manami**
It's cold, Toudou-san.
**[05:32] (Flashback) Toudou**
That's all right. You'll warm up
once you start riding.
**[05:35] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
Um, where's the party you
mentioned in your letter?
***SIGN*** Feb. 21 We are having a party on the Hakone Road Turnpike. You will come, Onoda Sakamichi-kun. We will be waiting. And, oh yes. Don't forget your bicycle. Bring your winter jersey, shoe covers, gloves, inner tubes and helmet, too. Toudou Jinpachi
**[05:40] (Flashback) Toudou**
This is it!
**[05:42] (Flashback) Toudou**
Unfortunately, the snow will limit your
vision a bit, but it shouldn't be a problem.
**[05:46] (Flashback) Manami**
It's definitely a problem.
**[05:47] (Flashback) Toudou**
Nope.
**[05:48] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
H-How far are we climbing?
**[05:50] (Flashback) Toudou**
To the top, of course.
**[05:52] (Flashback) Manami**
Just the two of us?
**[05:54] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
What about you, Toudou-san?
**[05:57] (Flashback) Toudou**
I'd never ride in this freezing cold snow.
**[06:00] (Flashback) Both**
What?
**[06:01] (Flashback) Toudou**
Ride. If you don't ride, it's meaningless.
**[06:05] (Flashback) Both**
What?
**[06:07] (Flashback) Toudou**
I'll be graduating soon.
**[06:09] (Flashback) Toudou**
Before I do,
**[06:10] (Flashback) Toudou**
I need to pass on the titles
"King of the Mountain" and "Mountain God."
**[06:17] (Flashback) Toudou**
It has to be one of you.
**[06:25] (Flashback) Manami**
This road sucks.
**[06:27] (Flashback) Manami**
The patches of snow
are making my tires slip.
**[06:30] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
Yeah. The falling snow's bad, too.
**[06:32] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
I can't see.
**[06:34] (Flashback) Manami**
But it's kind of...
**[06:35] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
Yeah.
**[06:36] (Flashback) Manami**
It's fun.
**[06:38] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
Yeah.
**[06:42] (Flashback) Toudou**
How did it go? Who won?
**[06:44] (Flashback) Toudou**
Manami, Four-Eyes...
**[06:47] (Flashback) Both**
We couldn't do it.
**[06:48] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
Partway up the mountain there was too
much snow. We couldn't keep riding.
**[06:53] (Flashback) Toudou**
I see. That's unfortunate.
**[06:55] (Flashback) Toudou**
It can't be helped, then.
**[06:57] (Flashback) Toudou**
We'll have to postpone this race
until the summer's Inter-High.
**[07:03] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
Yeah.
**[07:03] (Flashback) Manami**
I guess so.
**[07:05] (Flashback) Toudou**
Don't be late this year, Manami.
**[07:07] (Flashback) Manami**
I can't guarantee that.
**[07:09] (Flashback) Toudou**
Oh, right. Give Four-Eyes your number.
**[07:12] (Flashback) Toudou**
Have him call you the day of the race.
**[07:13] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
Your number? Okay.
**[07:19] Manami**
Sakamichi-kun...
**[07:22] Manami**
Do you still like climbs?
**[07:26] Sakamichi**
Yeah.
**[07:27] Manami**
Then let's race.
**[07:29] Manami**
It's decided.
**[07:30] Sakamichi**
Yeah.
**[07:32] Manami**
On that mountain...
**[07:34] Manami**
Let's squeeze every bit of strength
and fight to the end!
**[07:43] Sakamichi**
Yeah.
**[07:45] Sakamichi**
Well, I'd better get going.
**[07:48] Yuto**
Should you have made that promise?
**[07:53] Yuto**
Izumida-san told me to beat him
once we enter the mountains.
**[08:01] Manami**
You're only able to say that because you've
never ridden against Sakamichi-kun before.
**[08:06] Manami**
Don't worry.
**[08:08] Manami**
Where and when don't matter.
**[08:11] Manami**
We only agreed to ride together.
**[08:14] Manami**
It's a small promise, but he
always keeps his promises.
**[08:22] Imaizumi**
They'll be coming soon.
**[08:24] Imaizumi**
Once they wave that flag,
the parade run will be over.
**[08:28] Imaizumi**
The race will start.
**[08:30] Sakamichi**
Okay.
**[08:35] Sakamichi**
The battle is starting!
**[08:41] Ohori**
Move aside, small fries!
**[08:43] Ohori**
The sprinter's pride and first result
**[08:45] Ohori**
belongs to Ohori from
Fukuoka Jousei High School!
**[08:49] Izumida**
Go, Doubashi.
**[08:52] Rider A**
It's Hakone Academy High School's Doubashi.
**[08:54] Rider B**
He's huge.
**[08:55] Rider B**
He makes Izumida look small.
**[08:58] Rider C**
He's Hakone Academy High School's undefeated
sprinter who tears up the road,
**[09:03] Rider C**
Road Monster Doubashi!
**[09:05] Doubashi**
This race is starting to heat up.
**[09:08] Izumida**
This is the Inter-High.
**[09:10] Izumida**
As captain of Hakone Academy High School,
**[09:13] Izumida**
I know I should keep my personal
feelings out of the race.
**[09:16] Izumida**
But...
**[09:17] Izumida**
My right pec Andy and my
left pec Frank are excited.
**[09:22] Izumida**
They're overjoyed.
**[09:25] Izumida**
First, Doubashi, push aside the other
teams and take the first result.
**[09:30] Izumida**
And...
**[09:33] Izumida**
Whatever you do, don't lose
to Sohoku High School!
**[09:38] Doubashi**
Simple. That's an easy order, Izumida-san.
**[09:41] Izumida**
My heart is leaping with joy.
**[09:44] Izumida**
This is why I love the Inter-High.
**[09:46] Izumida**
Go, Doubashi!
**[09:50] Rider C**
They released a rampaging beast
on the Inter-High course!
**[09:54] Doubashi**
Move! Move, or I'll crush you!
**[10:02] Rider D**
Doubashi?
**[10:03] Doubashi**
Come on! Go faster!
**[10:05] Doubashi**
If you ride that slowly,
even the ants will catch up to you!
**[10:09] Teshima**
Aoyagi, Kaburagi.
**[10:11] Kaburagi**
Yes, sir.
**[10:12] Teshima**
Go.
**[10:13] Rider A**
Sohoku High School's making their move, too.
**[10:15] Rider A**
It's third-year sprinter Aoyagi Hajime.
**[10:18] Rider B**
And first-year Kaburagi, #6!
**[10:21] Rider C**
Sohoku High School's sending
two guys this year, too.
**[10:23] Teshima**
Begin the pursuit.
**[10:25] Teshima**
Chase down the sprinters in front of us
and Hakone Academy High School!
**[10:29] Kaburagi**
Wait, Teshima-san.
**[10:33] Kaburagi**
We should have Naruko-san go here
and save me for the finish line.
**[10:37] Kaburagi**
After all, I'm an all-rounder.
**[10:41] Sakamichi**
Huh? What?
**[10:45] Kaburagi**
Who will race for the finish line if not me?
**[10:49] Aoyagi**
Quit complaining. It's an order.
**[10:49] Kaburagi**
Ow, ow! Let go!
**[10:54] Kaburagi**
Let go! Teshima-san, take
back your mistake, and...
**[10:57] Aoyagi**
Let's go.
**[10:58] Sakamichi**
You haven't told Kaburagi-kun what Koga-san
said about his legs at the training camp?
**[11:05] Teshima**
Nope.
**[11:08] Teshima**
I'm counting on you, Aoyagi.
**[11:14] Koga**
Hurry, Sugimoto.
**[11:16] Sugimoto**
Yes, sir.
**[11:17] Aya**
There's always a rush right after the start.
**[11:21] Miki**
Yeah, it's hard work.
**[11:23] Aya**
Why do you look so happy?
**[11:27] Sugimoto**
Sawada, Gorizou, Sadatoki...
**[11:30] Sugimoto**
Follow us in the bus.
**[11:32] All**
Yes, sir.
**[11:33] Aya**
Is it really okay for us to ride in the van?
**[11:35] Miki**
Of course.
**[11:37] Miki**
There's a lot to do in the feed zones
that require a woman's touch.
**[11:41] Aya**
I don't really have that.
**[11:43] Aya**
Well, I'll do my best.
**[11:44] Koga**
Kanzaki-san, we're counting on you.
**[11:47] Toji**
Leave it to me.
**[11:49] Danchiku**
Sugimoto-san...
**[11:50] Sugimoto**
Danchiku.
**[11:52] Danchiku**
Please take care of Issa—of Kaburagi Issa.
**[11:56] Danchiku**
Cheer him on at the feed zone for me.
**[11:59] Sugimoto**
Got it.
**[12:01] Danchiku**
I want him to ride with no regrets
in the race of his dreams.
**[12:06] Danchiku**
Issa and I always rode together
during middle school.
**[12:10] Sugimoto**
Kaburagi's got a good friend in you.
**[12:13] Koga**
Danchiku, get in.
**[12:15] Danchiku**
What?
**[12:16] Koga**
Sugimoto, could you pack our gear in
tighter and get out the spare seat?
**[12:19] Sugimoto**
I'll try.
**[12:21] Danchiku**
But I...
**[12:24] Koga**
You should tell him your pure wish yourself.
**[12:29] Koga**
You'll give him strength as he rides.
**[12:33] Danchiku**
Yes, sir.
**[12:34] Toji**
Okay, let's go.
**[12:40] Kaburagi**
Why am I being made to participate
in a sprinter's race?
**[12:42] Kaburagi**
Did Teshima-san make a mistake?
**[12:45] Kaburagi**
I told him I'm an all-rounder
a bunch of times.
**[12:48] Kaburagi**
Maybe he thought I said "all-binder."
**[12:51] Kaburagi**
A binder closes, the way I'm a closer of races.
**[12:54] Rider E**
It's Sohoku High School.
**[12:55] Rider F**
They caught up.
**[12:57] Rider G**
Two? Sohoku High School sent
two sprinters again this year?
**[13:01] Kaburagi**
What?
**[13:02] Kaburagi**
I'm not a sprinter!
**[13:04] Kaburagi**
You got that?
**[13:05] Rider G**
Hey, I'm a second-year!
**[13:08] Kaburagi**
I don't care! I'm Sohoku
High School's secret ace!
**[13:11] Kaburagi**
I'm the all-rounder, Kaburagi Issa!
**[13:13] Rider G**
You should care.
**[13:15] Aoyagi**
Sorry.
**[13:16] Rider G**
Oh, no. It's fine.
**[13:19] Aoyagi**
Question, Kaburagi.
**[13:22] Aoyagi**
This pack isn't the lead pack yet.
**[13:24] Aoyagi**
Forty-three sprinters jumped
ahead at the signal.
**[13:28] Kaburagi**
You were counting?
**[13:30] Aoyagi**
We've passed thirteen so far. So...
**[13:33] Kaburagi**
There's twenty left!
**[13:35] Aoyagi**
Thirty.
**[13:36] Kaburagi**
Huh?
**[13:39] Aoyagi**
Excluding the eight guys here,
there are twenty-two in front of us.
**[13:43] Aoyagi**
Among them is one of
Hakone Academy High School's riders.
**[13:46] Kaburagi**
I see.
**[13:48] Aoyagi**
The first day of the course runs
north along National Route 119.
***SIGN*** Touhoku
Roadway
**[13:53] Aoyagi**
We'll pass through wide two-lane city
streets in practically a straight line.
***SIGN*** Kinugawa
River
***SIGN*** Touhoku
Bullet
Train
***SIGN*** Nikkou
Road
**[13:57] Aoyagi**
That'll turn into a one-lane
road passing under the highway.
**[14:01] Aoyagi**
Just past where the road starts to be lined
with pine trees is a three-way intersection.
**[14:05] Aoyagi**
That's the first result line.
**[14:07] Aoyagi**
The green number tag line.
**[14:09] Kaburagi**
Really?
**[14:11] Aoyagi**
The road just before the line
is lined with pine trees.
**[14:14] Aoyagi**
We'll be mostly unaffected by the wind.
**[14:16] Aoyagi**
If we don't pass those twenty-two sprinters,
they'll take first place away from us.
**[14:21] Kaburagi**
I see.
**[14:24] Aoyagi**
His eyes changed.
**[14:25] Aoyagi**
Pull. It's your turn next.
**[14:27] Rider E**
Damn. Sohoku High School's moving.
**[14:30] Rider F**
Stop them.
**[14:31] Kaburagi**
You can't stop us!
**[14:32] Rider E**
They're fast.
**[14:34] Shimizu**
There's a ninety-degree turn ahead.
**[14:35] Shimizu**
I'll push my way into it.
**[14:37] Shimizu**
I'm Kochi Tosaumi High School's
sprinter, Shimizu.
**[14:40] Shimizu**
They call me the Corner Magician.
**[14:43] Shimizu**
No one's cornering is sharper than mine!
**[14:49] Shimizu**
You can't be serious!
**[14:52] Shimizu**
They're unbelievable.
**[14:54] Shimizu**
That switch, that rise...
**[14:57] Shimizu**
He's a natural-born sprinter!
**[15:01] Kaburagi**
What? That's odd.
**[15:03] Kaburagi**
Why can't anyone keep up with me
when I'm just an all-rounder?
**[15:10] Kaburagi**
I don't know if this is the second or third,
**[15:12] Kaburagi**
but we've caught up to
the pack in front of us.
**[15:14] Kaburagi**
You're next, Aoyagi-san.
**[15:16] Aoyagi**
Got it.
**[15:20] Yagura**
You've arrived, Sohoku High School.
**[15:21] Yagura**
I'm the sprinter of the North, Niigata
Jouetsu Higashi High School's Yaguramaru.
**[15:26] Yagura**
Last year you had Tadokoro, but this
year's Sohoku High School is so small.
**[15:38] Yagura**
H-He's not small!
**[15:39] Yagura**
His body transformed!
**[15:42] Aoyagi**
You mean torso.
**[15:43] Aoyagi**
Your muscles expand when you use them.
**[15:47] Aoyagi**
Apparently, my difference
in size is a bit extreme.
**[15:50] Aoyagi**
My torso has currently expanded
to its maximum size.
**[15:54] Aoyagi**
In other words, I'm about to...
**[15:56] Aoyagi**
Start riding as hard as I can!
**[15:59] Aoyagi**
Tadokoro-san's Supersonic
Oxygen Human Bullet!
**[16:06] Yagura**
Huh? They're already out of sight.
**[16:09] Kaburagi**
Wow, we pulled ahead of them in no time.
**[16:13] Kaburagi**
It feels seriously awesome to do
something like this at the Inter-High.
**[16:18] Kaburagi**
But spare a thought for the
guy behind you, Aoyagi-san.
**[16:22] Kaburagi**
After all, I'm not a sprinter.
**[16:24] Kaburagi**
I almost fell behind.
**[16:28] Aoyagi**
Yaguramaru's a top-class sprinter, too.
**[16:30] Kaburagi**
What?
**[16:31] Aoyagi**
He kept up.
**[16:36] (Flashback) Aoyagi**
All out?
**[16:37] (Flashback) Teshima**
That's right. If you have
the opportunity, test him.
**[16:41] (Flashback) Teshima**
Sprint as hard as you
can with him behind you.
**[16:43] (Flashback) Aoyagi**
Are you sure you want 100%?
What if he falls behind?
**[16:47] (Flashback) Teshima**
Then you'll have to leave him behind.
**[16:50] (Flashback) Teshima**
Unfortunately, if he can't
keep up, either way...
**[16:54] (Flashback) Teshima**
He won't stand a chance at the front.
**[16:56] Kaburagi**
What are you talking about?
**[16:58] Kaburagi**
That Yagura-san can't be top-class.
**[17:00] Aoyagi**
He kept up with me at 100% acceleration,
Junta. On top of that...
**[17:06] Kaburagi**
Are you sure he's not a climber?
**[17:09] Aoyagi**
He's still talking.
**[17:11] Aoyagi**
In other words, he stands a
chance at the front of the pack.
**[17:15] Kaburagi**
I see the pack in front of us.
**[17:18] Kaburagi**
Once we catch up,
it'll be my turn. Let's switch.
**[17:22] Kaburagi**
Finally.
**[17:23] Aoyagi**
Let's head to the front, Kaburagi.
**[17:26] Kaburagi**
What's gotten into you, Aoyagi-san?
**[17:27] Kaburagi**
You seem happy.
**[17:29] Aoyagi**
Shut up, and follow me!
**[17:31] Kaburagi**
Yes, sir!
**[17:32] Aoyagi**
Human Bullet!
**[17:36] Rider A**
The sprinters who gave up on the
first result are falling back.
**[17:39] Rider B**
Is Hakone Academy High School's
Doubashi in the front?
**[17:42] Rider C**
He went flying ahead at a crazy speed.
**[17:45] Rider A**
I heard Fukuoka's Ohori is
in good shape this year.
**[17:49] Rider B**
Who's the fastest sprinter?
**[17:51] Naruko**
I really want to go!
**[17:54] Naruko**
My body's saying, "Are you stupid?
Why are you riding so slowly on the flats?"
**[17:59] Naruko**
I could probably still make it if I left now.
**[18:01] Naruko**
I could slip past these guys and
take this year's first result!
**[18:05] Naruko**
This is the Inter-High.
**[18:06] Naruko**
They're racing to see who's the fastest.
**[18:08] Naruko**
When will you go if not now,
Naruko Shoukichi?
**[18:11] Naruko**
My blood is screaming!
**[18:14] Naruko**
I can't take it!
**[18:15] Naruko**
I'm going.
**[18:19] Imaizumi**
You're enduring it well, Naruko.
**[18:22] Naruko**
W-Well, yeah. Th-This is nothing.
**[18:27] Naruko**
That was close.
**[18:29] Imaizumi**
As a guy who loves being flashy,
**[18:31] Imaizumi**
it must've been hard not participating
in a sprint through the city.
**[18:35] Naruko**
I'm totally fine.
**[18:37] Imaizumi**
Your expression fails to match your words.
**[18:40] Imaizumi**
Whatever the case, I'm grateful you
switched to being an all-rounder.
**[18:46] Naruko**
I didn't do it for you, idiot.
**[18:48] Izumida**
You're not going, Sohoku High School's
Naruko Shoukichi?
**[18:52] Naruko**
Hakone Academy High School's Lashes!
**[18:54] Naruko**
He's here to spy on us.
**[18:56] Naruko**
I thought it'd be no fun if I raced,
since it'd be a blowout.
**[19:00] Naruko**
I let my senior and junior go instead.
**[19:03] Izumida**
Is this their plan?
**[19:04] Izumida**
He doesn't seem unwell.
**[19:07] Izumida**
We sent Doubashi since he's been
doing well since this spring.
**[19:10] Naruko**
You're acting calm, but you're
actually desperate to go, aren't you?
**[19:15] Izumida**
Frank...
**[19:18] Izumida**
There's no point in hiding it.
**[19:20] Izumida**
That's exactly right, Naruko-kun.
**[19:22] Izumida**
Are you sad you don't get
to hear me shout "abs, abs"?
**[19:26] Naruko**
It's the perfect way to cheer someone up.
**[19:29] Naruko**
I wanted to show off my secret weapon, too.
**[19:35] Izumida**
Then shall we race, Naruko-kun?
**[19:38] Naruko**
Bring it on, Lashes!
**[19:41] Izumida**
All the muscles in my body are screaming!
**[19:45] Naruko**
My blood's about to boil because of you!
**[19:48] Naruko**
You've reminded me of last year's battle!
**[19:52] Naruko**
It's 200 meters to the big flag up ahead.
**[19:55] Naruko**
Let's see who reaches it first!
**[19:57] Izumida**
Very well! Abs!
**[19:59] Both**
It's on!
**[20:01] Imaizumi**
Wait, Naruko.
**[20:01] Kuroda**
Wait, Touichirou.
**[20:03] Imaizumi**
Don't waste your energy.
**[20:05] Imaizumi**
The race has only just started.
**[20:09] Kuroda**
Don't jump ahead, Touichirou.
**[20:12] Kuroda**
What are you, a grasshopper?
**[20:14] Izumida**
My muscles are delighted to have
returned to the Inter-High.
**[20:19] Izumida**
I was expressing how they felt.
**[20:21] Kuroda**
Are you a pervert?
**[20:22] Izumida**
Is that a compliment, Yuki?
**[20:26] Izumida**
My muscles have gotten stronger.
**[20:28] Izumida**
They've become more flexible.
**[20:31] Izumida**
Far more than last year.
**[20:37] Naruko**
I could tell through his clothes.
**[20:41] Izumida**
We'll race later, Naruko-kun.
**[20:44] Naruko**
Yeah.
**[20:46] Izumida**
By the way, what kind of sprinters did
Sohoku High School send to the sprint battle?
**[20:51] Naruko**
What?
**[20:52] Izumida**
Our Doubashi is even more abnormal than me.
**[20:57] Naruko**
Abnormal?
**[20:59] Izumida**
He never slacks off.
**[21:02] Izumida**
He's proud to be a part of
Hakone Academy High School.
**[21:05] Izumida**
He's blessed with a powerful body,
and he's as competitive as a beast.
**[21:09] Izumida**
It's as they say. He's a monster.
**[21:13] Izumida**
If all you're challenging him with
is a bit of hard work or talent,
**[21:17] Izumida**
you won't beat him.
**[21:19] Izumida**
Everyone who has challenged him
and lost says the same thing.
**[21:24] Izumida**
"The moment I caught up to him,
all the hairs on my body stood up,
**[21:28] Izumida**
and my legs quailed."
**[21:31] Izumida**
He's even more abnormal than I am.
**[23:10] Manami**
It's cold. I need a kotatsu.
**[23:13] Toudou**
It's because you're so lightly dressed.
**[23:17] Toudou**
Here, put this on. You, too, Four-Eyes.
**[23:20] Sakamichi**
B-But won't you be cold, Toudou-san?
**[23:24] Toudou**
Don't worry.
**[23:26] Toudou**
Not only can I climb,
but I'm also cold-resistant.
**[23:28] Toudou**
On top of that, I'm beautiful.
**[23:30] Toudou**
No matter where or when I am, I'm perfect.

**[00:06] Rider**
That's Doubashi of Hakone Academy High School.
**[00:09] Rider**
He's huge.
**[00:10] Rider**
But that's not all.
**[00:12] Rider**
The mysterious aura
overflowing from his body...
**[00:16] Rider**
M-My leg...
**[00:18] Rider**
Why am I sweating so much?
**[00:20] Fan A**
There's two guys coming from behind!
**[00:23] Fan A**
Two guys from Sohoku High School
caught up at the very end!
**[00:25] Fan B**
You idiot! Didn't you watch last year's race?
**[00:28] Fan A**
What?
**[00:29] Fan B**
Sohoku High School always cuts it close!
**[00:32] Kaburagi**
We caught up to the front!
***SIGN*** Yowamushi Pedal
**[02:06] Kaburagi**
We caught up.
**[02:07] Kaburagi**
I see a Hakone Academy High School jersey.
***SIGN*** Road Monster Doubashi
**[02:09] Kaburagi**
Including him, there's seven
guys in the lead pack.
**[02:11] Aoyagi**
It's eight.
**[02:12] Kaburagi**
What?
**[02:13] Kaburagi**
But there's one, two, three...
**[02:16] Aoyagi**
I subtracted the number we passed
from the number that rode ahead.
**[02:18] Kaburagi**
That's amazing!
**[02:20] Fan C**
Sohoku High School caught up to the front!
**[02:22] Fan D**
There's only four kilometers
left to the first result line!
**[02:25] Kaburagi**
Hey, it's you.
**[02:27] Kaburagi**
That jersey, that number tag...
**[02:33] Kaburagi**
You're that guy from
Hakone Academy High School!
**[02:36] (Flashback) Both**
You wanna fight, huh?
**[02:40] Aoyagi**
Doubashi...
**[02:42] Aoyagi**
This is Doubashi, the Monster of the Road?
**[02:46] Aoyagi**
He's certainly different from the
other riders I've fought against.
**[02:51] Aoyagi**
He's as intimidating as a large, wild beast.
**[02:55] Aoyagi**
His oppressive air makes me feel
like I couldn't beat him in a fight.
**[02:58] Aoyagi**
That pressure flows from his entire body.
**[03:01] Aoyagi**
His confidence is creating that.
**[03:04] Aoyagi**
He's a second-year.
**[03:06] Aoyagi**
He bears the scars of countless falls.
**[03:08] Aoyagi**
Why wasn't he in this race last year?
**[03:10] Aoyagi**
This battle will come down to a split-second.
**[03:14] Aoyagi**
Do you feel that pressure, too, Kaburagi?
**[03:19] Kaburagi**
You're that pig from
Hakone Academy High School!
**[03:21] Kaburagi**
What are you doing here, pig?
**[03:24] Aoyagi**
He doesn't feel it?
**[03:25] Aoyagi**
Did he just call him a pig?
**[03:26] Doubashi**
You're the orange from this morning.
**[03:30] Doubashi**
You're a sprinter, huh?
**[03:32] Kaburagi**
I'm not a sprinter.
**[03:34] Kaburagi**
I'm just here because of a mistake.
**[03:37] Kaburagi**
You're wearing tag #15.
**[03:40] Kaburagi**
That means you're 15th on the
Hakone Academy High School lineup.
**[03:43] Kaburagi**
I can't believe you're here
when you're just a sub.
**[03:47] Aoyagi**
Did no one tell him how
to read the number tags?
***SIGN*** Team
Number
***SIGN*** Individual
Number
**[03:51] Aoyagi**
We're wearing the single-digit ones!
**[03:54] Doubashi**
I bet you're an unbelievable idiot.
**[03:57] Kaburagi**
I'm not an idiot!
**[03:58] Kaburagi**
If anything, I'm...
**[04:00] Kaburagi**
That's right! A genius!
**[04:02] Aoyagi**
Kaburagi!
**[04:03] Doubashi**
Fine. Riding's the best
way to shut an idiot up.
**[04:08] Aoyagi**
He's moving.
**[04:09] Aoyagi**
His pressure just skyrocketed.
**[04:11] Doubashi**
I was just getting bored with taking it easy.
**[04:14] Rider A**
Crap, Doubashi's going to increase his pace!
**[04:17] Rider A**
After him!
**[04:18] Rider B**
Senpai, I can't.
**[04:20] Rider B**
My legs are too weak to move.
**[04:27] Fan**
Wow, look at him accelerate!
**[04:33] Aoyagi**
We didn't make it in time.
**[04:35] Aoyagi**
We left at the same time, too.
**[04:37] Aoyagi**
But before I knew it,
he was five meters ahead.
**[04:39] Aoyagi**
While I was getting in position,
he got ten meters ahead.
**[04:44] Aoyagi**
I knew it was coming,
but I couldn't react in time.
**[04:47] Aoyagi**
Three kilometers until the first result line.
**[04:51] Aoyagi**
This is the end.
**[04:53] Kaburagi**
Is it time yet?
**[04:56] Kaburagi**
Are you ready? How much longer?
**[04:58] Kaburagi**
I'm ready to pull.
**[05:00] Kaburagi**
Isn't that our strategy to catch up?
**[05:02] Kaburagi**
I heard what they said.
**[05:04] Kaburagi**
Sohoku High School always
cuts it close, right?
**[05:07] Aoyagi**
He's an unbelievable idiot.
**[05:11] Aoyagi**
You think we can catch up?
**[05:12] Kaburagi**
Well, with the way that pig accelerated,
even an all-rounder like me could catch up!
**[05:25] Kaburagi**
I'm catching glimpses of him.
**[05:28] Kaburagi**
We're keeping up in acceleration.
**[05:29] Kaburagi**
We'll gradually catch up to him.
**[05:31] Kaburagi**
But there's two and a half kilometers left.
**[05:33] Kaburagi**
We don't have time to take it slow!
**[05:40] Aoyagi**
His pressure increased when he
grasped his lower handlebars.
**[05:44] Kaburagi**
Here we go. Don't fall behind.
**[05:47] Kaburagi**
Did you notice?
**[05:49] Kaburagi**
I just grabbed my lower handlebars
for the first time this race.
**[05:54] Kaburagi**
I'd been holding my uppers this whole time.
**[05:56] Kaburagi**
I thought it'd be cool to have
a sealed move in reserve.
**[06:02] Aoyagi**
He's leaning so far forward.
**[06:04] Aoyagi**
But his reason seems so stupid.
**[06:06] Aoyagi**
Cool? Sealed move?
**[06:08] Kaburagi**
I was hoping to hold onto it until
just before the finish line, though.
**[06:12] Aoyagi**
And he wanted to know if I noticed?
**[06:15] Aoyagi**
Kaburagi, I've been watching from behind,
and while we were passing the others,
**[06:19] Aoyagi**
you were holding your lower handlebars.
**[06:21] Aoyagi**
Did you not notice?
**[06:26] Aoyagi**
It doesn't matter.
**[06:27] Kaburagi**
Lower handlebar released!
**[06:30] Aoyagi**
Advance, Kaburagi!
**[06:34] Aoyagi**
Such incredible acceleration.
**[06:36] Aoyagi**
I'm right behind, but I feel
like I'm going to fall behind.
**[06:38] Aoyagi**
He must've been practicing on his
own for the Inter-High since then.
**[06:45] (Flashback) Aoyagi**
You're not going home yet?
**[06:47] (Flashback) Kaburagi**
Oh, no. Well, actually...
**[06:51] (Flashback) Kaburagi**
The vending machine below the school
is the only one with the soda I like.
**[06:55] (Flashback) Kaburagi**
I'm going to go get some.
**[07:03] (Flashback) Kaburagi**
One minute, twenty-one seconds!
**[07:07] (Flashback) Kaburagi**
The straight behind the reservoir.
**[07:08] (Flashback) Kaburagi**
Damn it. I can't break 1:20.
**[07:12] (Flashback) Kaburagi**
Maybe I'm rising too far up when I'm dancing,
but sometimes my rear tire slips.
**[07:16] (Flashback) Kaburagi**
Maybe I'm putting too much load on the front.
**[07:19] (Flashback) Kaburagi**
Maybe I'm using too much power too early.
**[07:23] (Flashback) Kaburagi**
One more time.
**[07:31] (Flashback) Kaburagi**
Don't lose speed now! Pedal!
**[07:34] (Flashback) Kaburagi**
One minute, twenty seconds!
**[07:35] (Flashback) Kaburagi**
I'm so close!
**[07:38] (Flashback) Kaburagi**
I was so close. Damn it.
***SIGN*** Move your load back 10%.
Then you'll break 20.
**[07:47] Kaburagi**
*Crap!*
**[07:50] (Flashback) Kaburagi**
One minute, eighteen seconds!
**[07:52] (Flashback) Kaburagi**
I broke nineteen seconds in just a few days.
**[07:57] (Flashback) Kaburagi**
Ten percent...
**[07:58] (Flashback) Kaburagi**
I didn't think I could manage
something so precise, but I did it.
**[08:05] (Flashback) Kaburagi**
Who left this note?
**[08:08] (Flashback) Kaburagi**
Was it the god of bicycles?
**[08:10] (Flashback) Kaburagi**
No.
**[08:11] (Flashback) Kaburagi**
It was the god of Orange Beena,
since I always buy that!
**[08:18] (Flashback) Naruko**
Are you stupid, showoff?
**[08:20] (Flashback) Naruko**
You're expending too much
energy when you pull.
**[08:22] (Flashback) Naruko**
You'll exhaust yourself.
**[08:23] (Flashback) Imaizumi**
You can reduce your power by 20%, showoff.
**[08:26] (Flashback) Kaburagi**
What? Twenty percent?
**[08:29] (Flashback) Kaburagi**
Don't you mean one or 100?
**[08:30] (Flashback) Kaburagi**
I can't manage something that precise.
**[08:33] (Flashback) Kaburagi**
Imaizumi-san, you do it.
**[08:36] (Flashback) Imaizumi**
This is 80, and this is 60.
**[08:39] (Flashback) Kaburagi**
I can't tell the difference at all.
**[08:42] (Flashback) Imaizumi**
That's because you're stupid.
**[08:43] (Flashback) Kaburagi**
I'm not stupid.
**[08:44] Imaizumi**
You're clearly stupid.
**[08:45] Aoyagi**
*Is he...*
**[08:46] Kaburagi**
What?
***SIGN*** Break 1:20
at 20% less
than full power.
**[08:50] (Flashback) Kaburagi**
God left me something again!
**[08:53] (Flashback) Kaburagi**
I see. God has orders for me this time.
**[08:57] (Flashback) Kabruagi**
Okay, I'll try it!
**[08:59] (Flashback) Kaburagi**
Eighty percent, eighty percent...
***SIGN*** Segments
***SIGN*** Orange
**[09:02] (Flashback) Kaburagi**

**[09:09] (Flashback) Kaburagi**
"Your knees are too wide
when you're dancing."
**[09:12] (Flashback) Kaburagi**
I see.
**[09:13] (Flashback) Kaburagi**
"You can make better use of your
arm muscles if you stay under 90."
**[09:16] (Flashback) Kaburagi**
Really?
**[09:18] Aoyagi**
* He won't listen to people,*
* but he will listen to notes.*
**[09:26] Kaburagi**
*Use your scapula well?*
**[09:28] Kaburagi**
*Huh, this god knows everything.*
**[09:32] (Flashback) Kaburagi**
What?
**[09:33] (Flashback) Kaburagi**
Aoyagi-san...
**[09:37] (Flashback) Kaburagi**
Are you...
**[09:39] (Flashback) Kaburagi**
Aoyagi-san, are you training in secret, too?
**[09:41] (Flashback) Kaburagi**
I just got some amazing information.
**[09:44] (Flashback) Aoyagi**
What?
**[09:45] (Flashback) Kaburagi**
You use the muscles around your scapula to...
**[09:48] (Flashback) Kaburagi**
Wait, Aoyagi-san. Don't buy any
Orange Beena from this vending machine.
**[09:53] (Flashback) Kaburagi**
I'm going to buy them.
**[09:54] (Flashback) Aoyagi**
R-Really?
**[09:57] Aoyagi**
*He's amazing, in his own way.*
**[10:01] Kaburagi**
Aoyagi-san, do you believe in God?
**[10:05] Aoyagi**
Where did that come from?
**[10:09] Kaburagi**
During middle school,
Danchiku and I joined Team SS.
**[10:15] Kaburagi**
They were tough and strict.
**[10:18] Kaburagi**
They had a lot of rules, too.
**[10:20] Kaburagi**
But I wanted to get stronger,
so I grit my teeth and kept riding.
**[10:25] Kaburagi**
I was always frustrated.
**[10:27] Kaburagi**
They told me not to smile, except when I won.
**[10:31] Kaburagi**
I thought I was riding to win.
**[10:33] Kaburagi**
I worked hard, but I didn't
really see results.
**[10:37] Kaburagi**
It's strange, though.
**[10:39] Kaburagi**
Since I started high school
and joined this team...
**[10:42] Kaburagi**
Imaizumi-san is too logical and sarcastic.
**[10:46] Kaburagi**
Naruko-san is overbearing and annoying.
**[10:48] Kaburagi**
And Onoda-san, who I thought
I admired, is unreliable.
**[10:53] Kaburagi**
But I'm having so much fun.
**[10:55] Kaburagi**
What do you suppose this feeling is?
**[10:57] Kaburagi**
Chasing after the pig in front of us is
really tough and takes everything I have,
**[11:02] Kaburagi**
but I'm having a lot of fun.
**[11:05] Kaburagi**
I feel like I've gotten stronger
since joining this team.
**[11:10] Kaburagi**
Watching Koga-san, Sugimoto-san,
Teshima-san, and everyone else ride
**[11:14] Kaburagi**
has made something well up inside me.
**[11:18] Kaburagi**
I feel like they're pushing me forward.
**[11:21] Kaburagi**
Oh, but not so much you, Aoyagi-san.
**[11:25] Kaburagi**
You don't really push.
**[11:26] Aoyagi**
Hey.
**[11:27] Aoyagi**
Quit complaining.
**[11:29] Aoyagi**
Do you think we can catch up?
**[11:31] Kaburagi**
I honestly have a feeling we can.
**[11:33] Kaburagi**
I've been conserving my energy.
**[11:37] Kaburagi**
And this is the first time I've told anyone,
but I have God on my side.
**[11:42] Kaburagi**
The god of Orange Beena!
**[11:44] Aoyagi**
You're right.
**[11:46] Aoyagi**
Your stupidity, your unyielding spirit...
**[11:50] Aoyagi**
Your desire to show off.
**[11:53] Aoyagi**
They're all things a sprinter needs, Kaburagi!
**[12:06] Doubashi**
That idiot is catching up?
**[12:09] Kaburagi**
I'm here, pig!
**[12:10] Kaburagi**
Right at the end!
**[12:14] Izumida**
Make fools of them, Doubashi.
**[12:17] Izumida**
They should be approaching
the first result line soon.
**[12:20] Izumida**
The two from Sohoku High
School should be catching up.
**[12:24] Izumida**
If they do, show them.
**[12:26] Izumida**
Overwhelm them with your true strength.
**[12:30] Izumida**
I doubt I have to tell
you to do that, though, abs.
**[12:33] Izumida**
Not if you're the Monster
of Hakone Doubashi that I,
**[12:36] Izumida**
Izumida Touichirou, know so well.
**[12:40] Izumida**
When he breaks the zipper on his jersey,
that's when they'll tremble with fear.
**[12:46] Izumida**
Isn't that right, Doubashi?
**[12:54] Doubashi**
Either way, I'll win.
**[12:56] Doubashi**
After all, I'm right!
**[12:58] (Flashback) Doubashi**
Why do I have to assist?
**[13:00] (Flashback) Senpai**
I've told you a bunch of times already.
**[13:02] (Flashback) Senpai**
It's because you're a first-year
and Hamauchi's a third-year.
**[13:05] (Flashback) Doubashi**
I'm faster than him.
**[13:07] (Flashback) Doubashi**
Speed wins. That's how racing works.
**[13:09] (Flashback) Senpai**
Control yourself.
**[13:11] (Flashback) Senpai**
Hamauchi's a third-year. It's his last race.
**[13:14] (Flashback) Senpai**
You know what your job is, Doubashi.
**[13:17] (Flashback) Manager**
Why did you hit him?
**[13:19] (Flashback) Manager**
Why would a first-year
hit third-year Hamauchi?
**[13:21] (Flashback) Doubashi**
I controlled myself. I did as I was told.
**[13:25] (Flashback) Doubashi**
I controlled myself and launched
Hamauchi-san before the finish line.
**[13:29] (Flashback) Doubashi**
I put him in the perfect position.
**[13:30] (Flashback) Doubashi**
But then...
**[13:31] (Flashback) Doubashi**
Damn it. I pulled you here.
**[13:33] (Flashback) Doubashi**
Go, Hamauchi-san.
**[13:35] (Flashback) Doubashi**
Go, hurry!
**[13:36] (Flashback) Hamauchi**
You idiot, you pulled too fast.
**[13:40] (Flashback) Hamauchi**
It took everything I had to keep up.
**[13:42] (Flashback) Hamauchi**
I don't have the strength left to sprint.
**[13:47] (Flashback) Doubashi**
Can you believe he said that?
**[13:49] (Flashback) Doubashi**
He ended up placing twenty-first.
**[13:51] (Flashback) Doubashi**
So I asked him what he spent the
last three years doing and hit him.

**[14:05] (Flashback) Manager**
Everyone expected great things from you.
**[14:09] (Flashback) Manager**
They said an amazing
first-year joined the club.
**[14:12] (Flashback) Manager**
But you can't control your emotions.
**[14:15] (Flashback) Doubashi**
I control myself plenty.
**[14:17] (Flashback) Manager**
It's not enough!
**[14:19] (Flashback) Manager**
The club can't keep you any longer!
**[14:22] (Flashback) Manager**
You missed this year's
Inter-High member selection
**[14:24] (Flashback) Manager**

Takayama and Shirakawa!
**[14:29] (Flashback) Doubashi**
They were afraid of my ability, so they
reduced the air pressure in my tires.
**[14:34] (Flashback) Doubashi**
That's why I hit them.
**[14:36] (Flashback) Doubashi**
I don't regret it.
**[14:37] (Flashback) Doubashi**
I'm right!
**[14:39] (Flashback) Manager**

Shut up!

You may be a second-year,

Quit acting so self-important!

Control yourself, Doubashi. Later.

Shut up! Wait!

I rode really hard today at practice.

The hunt doesn't start until
my prey's in front of me.
**[21:43] Kaburagi**
He let us pass him.
**[21:45] Kaburagi**
Aoyagi-san!
**[23:23] Izumida**
Abs, abs, abs, abs.
**[23:32] Izumida**
Abs.
**[23:33] Izumida**
Abs.
**[23:35] Izumida**
Abs!

**[00:02] Aoyagi**
Tadokoro-san...
**[00:03] Aoyagi**
I made it to the Inter-High.
**[00:07] Aoyagi**
And the green number tag goal line.
**[00:09] Aoyagi**
There's one kilometer left.
**[00:11] Aoyagi**
I'll believe in myself and
pedal as hard as I can.
**[00:14] Aoyagi**
Kaburagi is a hard worker.
**[00:16] Aoyagi**
If we get this...
**[00:18] Aoyagi**
I'll shower him with praise.
**[00:24] Aoyagi**
After all, I'm in this position
because of his hard work.
**[00:30] Aoyagi**
I'll introduce him to you sometime.
**[00:33] Aoyagi**
Kaburagi Issa hasn't realized it himself yet,
**[00:35] Aoyagi**
but he's the next generation of sprinter
who will carry Sohoku High School.
**[00:41] Aoyagi**
He's a little stupid, though.
**[00:44] Aoyagi**
You'd probably say that's
what's good about him.
**[00:49] Aoyagi**
But first, I'll definitely...
**[00:52] Aoyagi**
Take the first result!
**[00:55] Aoyagi**
That's my job!
**[00:58] Aoyagi**
My legs will make it.
**[01:00] Aoyagi**
You just wait, Junta.
**[01:01] Aoyagi**
I'll bring back the green number—
**[01:07] Doubashi**
Run.
**[01:09] Doubashi**
Hey, run faster!
**[01:14] Doubashi**
This jersey is too small.
**[01:18] Doubashi**
It's in the way.
**[01:20] Doubashi**
Come on, run. I'll...
**[01:23] Doubashi**
...crush you and your bike underfoot!
**[01:28] Doubashi**
I broke it again!
**[01:30] Doubashi**
The zippers on these jerseys are so weak!

**[03:13] Sakamichi**
Uh, Teshima-san.
**[03:15] Sakamichi**
It's been a while since Aoyagi-san
and Kaburagi-kun left.
**[03:18] Sakamichi**
Do you think they've caught up to the front?
**[03:21] Teshima**
Are you worried, Onoda?
**[03:23] Teshima**
If everything's gone well,
they should be getting there soon.
**[03:27] Teshima**
The leaders should be reaching
the first result line around now.
**[03:34] Sakamichi**
It'll be decided soon...
**[03:36] Sakamichi**
Who's the fastest sprinter of this race.
**[03:39] Doubashi**
Seven hundred meters left!
**[03:42] Doubashi**
Flee! Flee!
**[03:44] Doubashi**
Interesting, interesting...
**[03:48] Doubashi**
Nothing beats chasing someone down!
**[03:53] Aoyagi**
He's faster than I expected.
**[03:56] Aoyagi**
He's pushing me from behind.
**[03:57] Aoyagi**
He could pass me at any time.
**[04:00] Aoyagi**
Damn it. What should I do?
**[04:02] Aoyagi**
There's 650 meters left.
**[04:04] Aoyagi**
Should I change my course?
**[04:05] Aoyagi**
No, at this pace, he'd pass me.
**[04:09] Aoyagi**
What should you do, Aoyagi Hajime?
**[04:14] Aoyagi**
I don't have a choice.
**[04:15] Aoyagi**
I wanted to save this for the final 150
meter sprint before the finish line.
**[04:26] Aoyagi**
Ultimate Aoyagi Technique!
**[04:28] Aoyagi**
Human Bullet Bambi Style!
**[04:31] Doubashi**
What? He transformed again!
**[04:37] Fan A**
Sohoku High School's accelerating!
**[04:38] Fan A**
He's so fast!
**[04:39] Fan B**
What's up with his legs? Are those logs?
**[04:41] Fan C**
He was already round,
but he transformed again!
**[04:46] Fan D**
He pulled farther ahead out of the corner!
**[04:50] Fan E**
Sohoku High School's #4 is amazing!
**[04:53] Aoyagi**
Human Bullet Bambi Style...
**[04:56] Aoyagi**
I release the muscles in my
torso that I'd been focusing on
**[04:59] Aoyagi**
and focus on my legs instead.
**[05:01] Aoyagi**
I can't keep it up for long, but it
doubles my explosive sprinting ability.
***SIGN*** Minegayama
**[05:07] (Flashback) Teshima**
You know how you'd run from
me when we played tag?
**[05:12] (Flashback) Teshima**
I wonder if you could make it stronger.
**[05:15] (Flashback) Aoyagi**
Stronger?
**[05:17] (Flashback) Teshima**
I have a feeling it has more potential.
**[05:21] (Flashback) Teshima**
You might be able to use it
at the next Inter-High.
**[05:25] Aoyagi**
*Strengthening my running...*
**[05:31] (Flashback) Naruko**
Aoyagi-san's Human Bullet is insane.
**[05:34] (Flashback) Naruko**
He's going super fast.
**[05:35] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
His pulling is amazing.
**[05:37] (Flashback) Aoyagi**
They're right.
**[05:38] (Flashback) Aoyagi**
I'm pulling, not running.
**[05:41] (Flashback) Aoyagi**
Running requires stronger acceleration.
**[05:45] (Flashback) Aoyagi**
Which means...
**[05:47] Aoyagi**
That's how these legs were born.
**[05:49] Aoyagi**
That became this, Bambi Style.
**[05:52] Aoyagi**
If surviving makes you the strongest,
**[05:54] Aoyagi**
then the strongest animals on Earth
are the always-fleeing herbivores.
**[05:58] Aoyagi**
These are legs of certain escape!
**[06:04] Aoyagi**
I'll pull ahead of him and
run to the result line.
**[06:07] Aoyagi**
Then nobody can beat me!
**[06:10] Aoyagi**
I'll win! You just watch, Junta!
**[06:13] Aoyagi**
You're always saving me with your ideas!
**[06:19] Aoyagi**
It won't last long.
**[06:22] Aoyagi**
I'll make it last!
**[06:24] Aoyagi**
It's my turn to return the favor, Junta!
**[06:30] Doubashi**
Do you know how much Hakone Academy
High School trains every day?
**[06:35] Doubashi**
Do you know how unforgiving the
member selection tournament is?
**[06:39] Doubashi**
You're trying to run from me, aren't you?
**[06:43] Aoyagi**
Doubashi!
**[06:44] Aoyagi**
He's right behind me.
**[06:46] Doubashi**
Sorry, but prey that's fleeing
as fast as it can is my favorite!
**[06:55] Sakamichi**
T-Teshima-san, do you
think Aoyagi-san will win?
**[07:00] Teshima**
Huh?
**[07:01] Sakamichi**
Oh, I just...
**[07:02] Sakamichi**
Hakone Academy High School's #15 was
big and seemed strong, so I thought...
**[07:08] Teshima**
You mean Doubashi?
**[07:09] Teshima**
He's in your grade. He's a second-year.
**[07:13] Sakamichi**
What?!
**[07:15] Teshima**
If size were the determining factor,
then Aoyagi would lose.
**[07:19] Teshima**
But that's not what road racing is about.
**[07:22] Teshima**
It's a combination of willpower,
conditions, teamwork, and strategy.
**[07:28] Teshima**
You use everything you can
to find an opportunity.
**[07:32] Teshima**
You work together, strategize,
look out for your teammates,
**[07:36] Teshima**
give everything you've got, and throw
your wheels across the finish line.
**[07:40] Teshima**
I'm betting on Aoyagi.
**[07:45] Teshima**
Believe in the strength of
Aoyagi and Kaburagi, Onoda.
**[07:50] Teshima**
Remember what he said?
It's not the two of them.
**[07:55] Teshima**
The six of us together are a team.
**[07:59] Doubashi**
Run faster, little Bambi!
**[08:06] Aoyagi**
I won't last much longer.
**[08:08] Aoyagi**
Damn it.
**[08:11] Doubashi**
It's right there. This'll be easy.
**[08:14] Doubashi**
Thanks for the meal, Bambi!
**[08:17] (Flashback) Izumida**
Whatever you do, don't lose
to Sohoku High School!
**[08:21] Doubashi**
Izumida-san, they gave me some trouble.
**[08:25] Doubashi**
But they were nothing special!
**[08:29] Doubashi**
Move, Sohoku High School! It's over!
**[08:32] Fan**
There's 400 meters left!
They're finally neck and neck!
**[08:35] Fan**
All three of them!
**[08:38] Doubashi**
Three?
**[08:40] Kaburagi**
Aoyagi-san!
**[08:41] Kaburagi**
I got a really bad feeling
about this, so I followed him!
**[08:49] Teshima**
We have two cards up our sleeve,
so we'll make full use of both of them.
**[08:55] Teshima**
That's Sohoku High School's style,
**[08:58] Teshima**
Hakone Academy High School!
**[09:00] Doubashi**
What are you doing here, orange?
**[09:03] Doubashi**
Was he sticking behind me? No...
**[09:07] Doubashi**
But I turned around to check numerous times.
**[09:09] Doubashi**
I know I didn't see him.
**[09:13] Doubashi**
Was he hiding in the blind
spot created by my jersey?
**[09:19] Doubashi**
Orange!
**[09:20] Kaburagi**
Pig!
**[09:22] Aoyagi**
It was one in ten thousand.
**[09:25] Aoyagi**
I only told Kaburagi to pull for me
so I could go all out at the end.
**[09:31] Aoyagi**
But he sensed the danger in a moment
and reflexively pursued Doubashi.
**[09:39] Aoyagi**
I can't believe he caught up.
**[09:41] Aoyagi**
I only imagined there might be a one in ten
thousand chance that this might happen.
**[09:46] Aoyagi**
He's an idiot...
**[09:47] Aoyagi**
But he's perceptive.
**[09:50] Kaburagi**
Aoyagi-san!
**[09:54] Kaburagi**
Get behind me!
**[09:56] Kaburagi**
I'll pull for you again.
**[09:57] Kaburagi**
I'll launch you.
**[09:58] Kaburagi**
I need you to sprint.
**[10:00] Kaburagi**
Let me handle this pig, Aoyagi-san!
**[10:03] Fan**
Three hundred and fifty meters left!
**[10:06] Doubashi**
Don't get ahead of yourselves.
**[10:08] Doubashi**
Increasing your numbers from one
to two won't change anything.
**[10:11] Doubashi**
I'll pass you, too, orange!
**[10:15] Kaburagi**
A sprinter like Aoyagi-san won't have
any trouble with a sub like you, pig!
**[10:20] Aoyagi**
There's a light shining...
**[10:23] Aoyagi**
On Sohoku High School.
**[10:25] Aoyagi**
If I used my Bambi Style, I thought...
**[10:28] Kaburagi**
What? Where's the light?
**[10:30] Aoyagi**
I thought I could pull ahead of Doubashi.
**[10:32] Aoyagi**
I thought I'd make it to the result line.
**[10:35] Aoyagi**
But he's stronger than I thought.
**[10:38] Aoyagi**
He stopped my legs of certain
escape and caught up.
**[10:43] Aoyagi**
I thought I might not be able to win.
**[10:48] Aoyagi**
You should take the sprint.
**[10:51] Aoyagi**
You're the light, Kaburagi.
**[10:54] Aoyagi**
You can do it.
**[10:57] Kaburagi**
I can't!
**[10:58] Kaburagi**
I'm an all-rounder!
**[11:00] Aoyagi**
What? He's still saying that?
**[11:03] Aoyagi**
I take back what I said.
**[11:05] Aoyagi**
He's totally imperceptive.
**[11:07] Aoyagi**
Do it!
**[11:08] Kaburagi**
I can't!
**[11:09] Aoyagi**
Take it!
**[11:10] Kaburagi**
I can't!
**[11:11] Kaburagi**
The pig is accelerating.
**[11:12] Kaburagi**
He's entering a sprinting form.
**[11:14] Aoyagi**
He'll pull ahead.
**[11:17] Aoyagi**
Give the last bit of
strength you have, Hajime!
**[11:21] Kaburagi**
Why are you jumping ahead, Aoyagi-san?
**[11:24] Aoyagi**
I'm blocking the wind!
**[11:25] Kaburagi**
Why would you spend your strength
for the result line now?
**[11:29] Aoyagi**
Idiot. I've already exhausted my Bambi Style.
**[11:32] Aoyagi**
I don't have the strength left to sprint.
**[11:36] Aoyagi**
When I give the signal, go!
**[11:38] Kaburagi**
I'm not going!
**[11:39] Aoyagi**
I thought you believed in God!
**[11:41] Kaburagi**
What? I do, but so what?
**[11:44] Kaburagi**
Where's God right now?
**[11:47] Kaburagi**
There are no vending machines around.
**[11:55] Kaburagi**
G-God's notepad...
**[12:00] Aoyagi**
I can't believe I had this in my pocket.
**[12:05] (Flashback) Teshima**
You should imagine all possible scenarios
and think of how to deal with them.
**[12:09] (Flashback) Teshima**
Hakone Academy High School's
Doubashi is strong.
**[12:11] (Flashback) Teshima**
You should simulate how
you can use Kaburagi, too.
**[12:17] (Flashback) Teshima**
What are you writing?
**[12:19] (Flashback) Aoyagi**
A magical note.
**[12:21] Aoyagi**
I said it was one in ten thousand,
**[12:24] Aoyagi**
but maybe some part of me believed
that he would follow me this far.
**[12:31] Kaburagi**
This is...
**[12:36] Kaburagi**
Aoyagi-san.
**[12:37] Aoyagi**
Take it!
**[12:39] Aoyagi**
It's God's final note for you!
***SIGN*** Sprint as hard as you can for the result line
**[12:43] Aoyagi**
"Sprint as hard as you
can for the result line!"
**[12:49] Kaburagi**
Yes, sir!
**[12:51] Aoyagi**
His pressure skyrocketed.
**[12:54] Aoyagi**
I've never seen such a pure...
**[12:58] Aoyagi**
Sprint!
**[13:08] Doubashi**
I've won countless sprints before now.
**[13:11] Doubashi**
I've crushed sprinters
that others called strong.
**[13:15] Doubashi**
That's why I can feel who's a real sprinter,
who's going for the result line...
**[13:21] Doubashi**
And how fast a sprinter someone is.
**[13:24] Doubashi**
But I didn't even notice until now
that this orange is a sprinter.
**[13:30] Kaburagi**
I understand, God. I'll do it.
**[13:33] Kaburagi**
I'll use everything you taught me...
**[13:37] Kaburagi**
...to win this sprint!
**[13:41] Doubashi**
It skyrocketed. What's going
on with his pressure?
**[13:45] Doubashi**
He was acting as the third-year
Aoyagi's assistant until now.
**[13:48] Doubashi**
But he's changed completely.
**[13:49] Doubashi**
That's the face of a
sprinter aiming for first.
**[13:52] Doubashi**
Only those riding on the
course could feel the tension
**[13:56] Doubashi**
flowing through the air right now.
**[14:01] Doubashi**
That moment when an arrow is loosed towards
its target and time seems to stand still.
**[14:07] Doubashi**
This tense moment of silence.
**[14:14] Doubashi**
The final sprint is starting!
**[14:25] Aoyagi**
Go, Kaburagi!
**[14:28] Kaburagi**
Yes, sir!
**[14:39] Fan**
They're neck and neck!
**[14:41] Fan**
Two hundred meters left!
**[14:46] Fan**
Sohoku High School's resting!
**[14:48] Doubashi**
What is he doing? Does he
have strength to spare?
**[14:57] Doubashi**
He's accelerating!
**[15:03] Doubashi**
He took a moment to rest behind
me before accelerating again.
**[15:08] Doubashi**
Two-stage acceleration...
**[15:09] Doubashi**
I can't predict his movements.
**[15:12] Doubashi**
What's his next move?
**[15:13] Doubashi**
Is he a genius, or just an idiot?
**[15:18] Doubashi**
But this situation itself
is advantageous to me.
**[15:21] Doubashi**
I can ride behind him.
**[15:23] Doubashi**
What will he do? He's not moving.
**[15:26] Doubashi**
Is he not thinking?
**[15:27] Doubashi**
He's a mysterious sprinter...
**[15:31] Doubashi**
But he's an idiot!
**[15:33] Fan A**
Hakone Academy High School's
sticking right behind him!
**[15:36] Fan B**
He's saving his strength
by hiding from the wind!
**[15:38] Doubashi**
I'll show you my monster sprint!
**[15:42] Doubashi**
I don't lose!
**[15:43] Doubashi**
I'm Hakone Academy High School!
**[15:45] Fan**
This year's fastest sprinter
is about to be decided!
**[15:49] Fan**
One hundred meters left!
**[15:51] Kaburagi**
Go in, go in, go in, go in...
**[15:54] Doubashi**
What? "Go in"?
**[15:56] Doubashi**
Is it his gears?
**[15:57] Doubashi**
Is he having trouble switching into top gear?
**[16:02] Doubashi**
How unfortunate for him.
**[16:03] Doubashi**
No wonder his acceleration was lacking.
**[16:06] Doubashi**
Orange, I wish I could've raced you
when you weren't having bike trouble.
**[16:13] Fan**
Doubashi's making his move!
He's jumping ahead!
**[16:16] Kaburagi**
Go in!
**[16:19] (Flashback) Kaburagi**
What?
**[16:20] (Flashback) Kaburagi**
What do I think about before the finish line?
**[16:23] (Flashback) Kaburagi**
Big gears.
**[16:25] (Flashback) Aoyagi**
What?
**[16:27] (Flashback) Kaburagi**
I imagine gears.
**[16:29] (Flashback) Kaburagi**
Strangely enough, when they fit together,
it makes me feel really strong.
**[16:34] Kaburagi**
Go in.
**[16:36] Kaburagi**
Go in!
**[16:39] Kaburagi**
It's in!
**[16:41] Kaburagi**
All right!
**[16:42] Aoyagi**
Go, Kaburagi!
**[16:44] Doubashi**
It's not bike trouble?
**[16:52] Doubashi**
There's 80 meters to the first result line.
**[16:55] Kaburagi**
I...
**[16:55] Doubashi**
I...
**[16:57] Both**
I'll win!
**[16:59] Kaburagi**
Pig!
**[17:00] Kaburagi**
I got this!
**[17:01] Doubashi**
Orange!
**[17:03] Doubashi**
He's coming!
**[17:04] Both**
Sprint!
**[17:05] Fan**
They're both accelerating!
**[17:11] Both**
I'll win!
**[17:13] Fan**
Fifty meters left!
**[17:14] Doubashi**
Too limited. They're too limited.
**[17:17] Doubashi**
The world's rules are too limited.
**[17:20] Doubashi**
Line up.
**[17:21] Doubashi**
Don't move.
**[17:22] Doubashi**
Don't talk back.
**[17:24] Doubashi**
I've always been a big guy.
**[17:26] Doubashi**
That's why I stick out.
**[17:29] Doubashi**
But what's wrong with that?
**[17:30] Doubashi**
I'm right.
**[17:32] Doubashi**
But for a while, I was unsure.
**[17:35] Doubashi**
I tried to fit within the
limited rules of society.
**[17:39] Doubashi**
That's when Izumida-san told me to stick out.
**[17:45] Doubashi**
He said I could ride the way I wanted.
**[17:49] Doubashi**
He told me to take the first result!
**[17:52] Doubashi**
How could I not give everything
I've got to win it?
**[17:57] Doubashi**
The first result line is mine!
**[17:59] Doubashi**
I'm bringing it home to
Hakone Academy High School, Izumida-san!
**[18:06] Kaburagi**
Seriously? What is this
that's flowing out of me?
**[18:09] Kaburagi**
It's so fast.
**[18:10] Kaburagi**
It's super fast.
**[18:12] Kaburagi**
My heart hurts, but I can't stop.
**[18:14] Kaburagi**
It's like all the gears in
my body are locked together.
**[18:17] Kaburagi**
From the top of my head
to the tips of my toes,
**[18:19] Kaburagi**
they're all connected and
moving forward as one.
**[18:21] Kaburagi**
Am I excited by this sprint?
**[18:24] Kaburagi**
My body's telling me to pass
the guy in front of me.
**[18:28] Kaburagi**
All the blood in my body is boiling!
**[18:31] Fan**
Thirty meters left!
**[18:32] Kaburagi**
Win, win, win!
**[18:35] Kaburagi**
I'll win!
**[18:38] Kaburagi**
It's boiling.
**[18:40] Aoyagi**
Go, Kaburagi.
**[18:42] Aoyagi**
You can do it!
**[18:48] Fan**
They're neck and neck again!
**[18:49] Fan**
It's the final sprint!
**[18:52] Fan 1**
I thought Doubashi looked like he would
play dirty, but he's an honorable racer.
**[18:58] Fan 2**
I've seen most of his races.
**[19:01] Fan 2**
He talks a big game and has a huge attitude,
but he always fights head-to-head.
**[19:06] Fan 2**
He always plays fair.
**[19:09] Fan 2**
That's why he has so many fans!
**[19:11] Fan**
Doubashi!
**[19:12] Fan**
Go, Hakone Academy High School's Doubashi!
**[19:14] Club 1**
Doubashi-senpai, you can do it!
**[19:16] Club 2**
Pedal harder, Senpai!
**[19:19] Doubashi**
I know.
**[19:21] Doubashi**
I finally made it to the Inter-High.
**[19:24] Doubashi**
If I don't win this, all the races I
won since this spring are worthless.
**[19:32] Kaburagi**
The pig's a few centimeters ahead.
**[19:35] Kaburagi**
Damn it!
**[19:36] Kaburagi**
The line's right in front
of me. I can see it.
**[19:38] Kaburagi**
My muscles are about to shatter.
**[19:40] Kaburagi**
But I know I have to overcome this trial.
**[19:46] Kaburagi**
Right, God?
**[19:48] Kaburagi**
Why did Aoyagi-san's face pop into my head?
**[19:51] Kaburagi**
I don't know. It doesn't matter.
**[19:54] Kaburagi**
It's the final push!
**[19:58] Kaburagi**
Boil, damn it!
**[20:11] Fan**
The first result has been decided!
**[20:14] Fan**
Hakone Academy High School's Doubashi wins!
**[20:16] Fan**
Sohoku High School caught up at the end!
**[20:18] Fan**
Hakone Academy High School stayed ahead!
**[20:20] Fan**
It was Sohoku High School!
**[20:27] Doubashi**
You idiot, you didn't win.
**[20:30] Kaburagi**
Fool. You didn't notice?
**[20:33] Kaburagi**
I got you in the end.
**[20:36] Doubashi**
No, you didn't. That was me.
**[20:39] Kaburagi**
It was me.
**[20:40] Doubashi**
It wasn't you.
**[20:42] Kaburagi**
I'd never lose to a sub like you.
**[20:45] Doubashi**
I'm a regular, you idiot.
**[20:46] Fan 1**
They're arguing. Who won just now?
**[20:50] Fan 2**
Wasn't it Hakone Academy High School?
**[20:51] Fan 3**
It looked like Sohoku High School to me.

The first result...
**[03:19] Naruko**
Sohoku High School placed second.
**[03:28] Rider**
Hakone Academy High School's moving up!
**[03:30] Izumida**
Excuse us.
**[03:33] Izumida**
Make way, Teshima-kun.
**[03:38] Fan**
Kanagawa's ultimate champions,
Hakone Academy High School, moved up!
**[03:41] Fan**
They're so intimidating!
**[03:43] Fan**
The team that takes the
first result controls the pack!
**[03:48] Sakamichi**
They're in front of us!
**[03:49] Teshima**
Hakone Academy High School...
**[03:51] Naruko**
They're first.
**[03:52] Imaizumi**
They're where we were last year.
**[03:54] Imaizumi**
The winners' position.
**[03:57] Izumida**
Well done, Doubashi.
**[03:59] Ashikiba**
Basshi...
**[04:01] Kuroda**
It went just as planned, Touichirou.
**[04:03] Manami**
I can't believe he won one
against two on the flats.
**[04:07] Manami**
It's amazing.
**[04:08] Yuto**
Hayato-kun said Doubashi-san could do it.
**[04:13] Rider 1**
Things feel more stable with
Hakone Academy High School in the front.
**[04:15] Rider 2**
That position's a perfect fit for them.
**[04:17] Rider 2**
Their aura is different.
**[04:18] Rider 1**
Yeah. I feel calmer with
Hakone Academy High School forming the pack.
**[04:22] Rider 1**
Let's absorb our sprinters as we
ride to the foot of the mountain.
**[04:25] Rider 1**
We can take a break.
**[04:28] Izumida**
Time to go to work.
**[04:31] Izumida**
Andy, Frank...
**[04:34] Izumida**
Our job starts now.
**[04:37] Rider 2**
Huh?
**[04:38] Rider 1**
Hey, there's space behind you.
**[04:41] Teshima**
They're doing it on purpose.
**[04:43] Rider 1**
What?
**[04:44] Teshima**
They're planning to increase their speed
and decrease the pack's numbers...
**[04:49] Teshima**
At the start of the Inter-High's first day!
**[04:53] Izumida**
Abs!
**[04:54] Rider 1**
Seriously? But we're still
so far from the mountains.
**[04:56] Rider 3**
We underestimated them. They're fast.
**[04:59] Rider 3**
Sohoku High School's jumping ahead, too!
**[05:01] Teshima**
But I knew they'd do this.
**[05:03] Teshima**
Let's go as hard as we can.
**[05:04] Teshima**
Onoda, Naruko, Imaizumi!
**[05:07] All**
Yes, sir!
**[05:07] Izumida**
You came, Sohoku High School.
**[05:10] ---**
Abs!
**[05:11] Teshima**
Sorry, but you're not getting away,
Hakone Academy High School.
**[05:14] Teshima**
You seem pretty desperate, Izumida.
**[05:17] Teshima**
You're already trying to reduce your
competition at the start of the race.
**[05:20] Izumida**
We're wearing double-digit tags when
we should be wearing single digits.
**[05:25] Izumida**
Do you know what that means, Teshima-kun?
**[05:28] Teshima**
I do.
**[05:30] Teshima**
After all, we were wearing
triple digits last year.
**[05:35] Izumida**
It means that by any means necessary,
we must retake the title of champions.
**[05:42] Izumida**
I didn't participate in the first result
so I could create this situation.
**[05:47] Izumida**
Abs!
**[05:48] Sakamichi**
Hakone Academy High School
is accelerating even more.
**[05:50] Teshima**
After them!
**[05:51] All**
Yes, sir!
**[05:55] Izumida**
The way you ride is so ordinary, Teshima-kun.
**[05:58] Izumida**
Are you struggling?
**[06:00] Izumida**
Isn't it because you sent two
riders to compete in the sprint?
**[06:03] Teshima**
I'm weak.
**[06:06] Teshima**
That's why I use my head.
**[06:09] Teshima**
It's why I work hard.
**[06:10] Teshima**
I have a plan.
**[06:12] Teshima**
Go!
**[06:14] Teshima**
Naruko Shoukichi!
**[06:16] Naruko**
You got it!
**[06:17] Teshima**
We held onto our best man on the flats, too.
**[06:21] Naruko**
I'm itching to go!
**[06:24] Naruko**
Wanna pick up where we left off, lashes?
**[06:28] Izumida**
I couldn't ask for more, redhead!
**[06:31] Izumida**
Abs!
**[06:36] Both**
I won't stop you this time!
**[06:38] Imaizumi**
Naruko!
**[06:38] Kuroda**
Touichirou!
**[06:39] Both**
Go!
**[06:42] ---**
Abs! Abs! Abs! Abs!
**[06:50] Kaburagi**
I gave everything I had and lost.
**[06:58] Aoyagi**
There's only one winner.
**[07:00] Aoyagi**
"Good job."
**[07:01] Aoyagi**
"You were amazing."
**[07:04] Aoyagi**
All praise is meaningless
in the face of defeat.
**[07:07] Aoyagi**
I don't know what to say to him.
**[07:11] Danchiku**
Issa!
**[07:13] Danchiku**
Issa!
**[07:16] Danchiku**
Issa!
**[07:19] Kaburagi**
Danchiku...
**[07:21] (Flashback) Kaburagi**
I'm Kaburagi Issa.
**[07:23] (Flashback) Kaburagi**
This is Danchiku Ryuuhou.
**[07:25] (Flashback) Kaburagi**
This race is mine.
**[07:28] (Flashback) Kaburagi**
We're going to the Inter-High, Danchiku.
**[07:30] (Flashback) Danchiku**
I see two lights in you.
**[07:33] (Flashback) Danchiku**
Two lights I don't have.
**[07:36] (Flashback) Danchiku**
Issa!
**[07:38] (Flashback) Danchiku**
Don't waver!
**[07:39] (Flashback) Danchiku**
I won't be in the race, but you go
all-out at the Inter-High, Issa.
**[07:45] (Flashback) Kaburagi**
I will.
**[07:47] (Flashback) Kaburagi**
You just watch me, Danchiku.
**[07:55] Kaburagi**
He's the last person
I want to talk to right now.
**[07:59] Kaburagi**
I lost to a pig.
**[08:05] Danchiku**
I was watching!
**[08:29] Kaburagi**
Danchiku, I lost.
**[08:36] Kaburagi**
I rode as hard as I could and lost the race.
**[08:41] Sugimoto**
Kaburagi!
**[08:44] Sugimoto**
I was watching!
**[08:46] Kaburagi**
Sugimoto-san...
**[08:53] (Flashback) Sugimoto**
Push Imaizumi's back.
**[09:01] Kaburagi**
I will.
**[09:02] Kaburagi**
Thank you.
**[09:04] Koga**
Kaburagi!
**[09:06] Miki**
Kaburagi-kun!
**[09:07] Aya**
First-year!
**[09:08] Koga**
We were watching!
**[09:10] Kaburagi**
Yes, sir!
**[09:13] Kaburagi**
Koga-san, guys...
**[09:15] Koga**
We'll be waiting for you
at the feed zone up ahead!
**[09:23] Kaburagi**
Why? What was that, Aoyagi-san?
**[09:28] Kaburagi**
I didn't win.
**[09:32] Kaburagi**
They should be asking me,
"What are you doing?"
**[09:34] Kaburagi**
"How could you lose when you were so close?"
**[09:37] Kaburagi**
They should be rebuking me and
telling me I'm the worst, but instead...
**[09:43] Kaburagi**
They just said they were
watching and nothing else.
**[09:46] Kaburagi**
Their hands were so warm.
**[09:48] Kaburagi**
Why?
**[09:50] Kaburagi**
Koga-san, Sugimoto-san, and Danchiku...
**[09:55] Aoyagi**
Because they're your teammates.
**[09:59] Aoyagi**
And because they all know the pain of losing.
**[10:07] Koga**
*I know a lot about injuries.*
**[10:12] Sugitomo**
*I did everything I could!*
**[10:16] (Flashback) Danchiku**
Good, Issa.
**[10:18] Kaburagi**
Damn!
**[10:20] Kaburagi**
Damn, damn, damn!
**[10:23] Kaburagi**
Aoyagi-san, I promise!
**[10:25] Kaburagi**
If I end up racing against him
again at this Inter-High...
**[10:30] Kaburagi**
I promise I'll beat him!
**[10:32] Aoyagi**
Good.
**[10:33] Kaburagi**
I'm riding with the team's hopes on my back.
**[10:37] Kaburagi**
Why didn't I realize that?
**[10:40] Kaburagi**
I'm an idiot.
**[10:42] Aoyagi**
"Grow. Over these three days."
**[10:45] Aoyagi**
That's what Kinjou-san
told Imaizumi last year.
**[10:49] Aoyagi**
I'll pass on the exact same message to you.
**[10:53] Aoyagi**
Experience pain, give everything you have...
**[10:57] Aoyagi**
And grow straight, Kaburagi.
**[11:05] Izumida**
Abs!
**[11:08] Sakamichi**
Hakone Academy High School's
accelerating even more.
**[11:10] Teshima**
We're counting on you, Naruko!
**[11:12] Naruko**
Got it!
**[11:13] Izumida**
Abs, abs, abs, abs, abs, abs!
**[11:16] Izumida**
Abs!
**[11:20] Kuroda**
Touichirou, you're raising the pace again?
**[11:24] Kuroda**
Don't you feel bad for them?
**[11:25] Kuroda**
They disappeared behind the
corner in the blink of—
**[11:30] Kuroda**
They're keeping up.
**[11:32] Izumida**
How persistent.
**[11:34] Izumida**
Team Sohoku's persistent again this year.
**[11:37] Izumida**
Naruko-kun's reactions are first-class, too.
**[11:40] Izumida**
Yuki, remember this tenacity.
**[11:44] Izumida**
They used it to steal the
title from us last year.
**[11:49] Izumida**
You have a good team, Teshima-kun.
**[11:51] Izumida**
You're worthy of being
crushed with all our might.
**[11:54] Izumida**
Are you supporting each other?
**[11:57] Izumida**
That's what Sohoku High School's
captain Kinjou-san said last year.
**[12:01] Izumida**
On your team, when one man falls,
the others support him.
**[12:05] Izumida**
A team that supports each other.
**[12:07] Teshima**
That's right.
**[12:08] Teshima**
I've added the sauce of faith to
that and made it in my own style.
**[12:13] Izumida**
Are you planning on cooking something?
**[12:15] Teshima**
Yeah, something Mediterranean.
**[12:17] Izumida**
That sounds good.
**[12:19] Izumida**
I'll eat it for you.
**[12:20] Teshima**
It's super spicy.
**[12:22] Teshima**
You'll upset your stomach.
**[12:27] Izumida**
I see. You sound confident.
**[12:31] Izumida**
Then let me ask you this.
**[12:33] Izumida**
Why did your spicy team send two sprinters
against our Doubashi and lose?
**[12:41] Izumida**
You wasted your time.
**[12:44] Teshima**
Because one man isn't enough.
**[12:47] Teshima**
I told you.
**[12:48] Teshima**
We're a team that supports each other.
**[12:50] Teshima**
We're not complete until
there's more than one.
**[12:53] Teshima**
That's why I sent two.
**[12:56] Teshima**
I know Kaburagi and Aoyagi believed
in each other as they fought.
**[13:01] Teshima**
Wasted our time? Don't worry about us.
**[13:05] Teshima**
Defeat is the first step towards victory.
**[13:07] Teshima**
It gives rise to the next will and action.
**[13:10] Teshima**
And we pass that will along.
**[13:13] Teshima**
Carefully, between all of us.
**[13:16] Sakamichi**
Teshima-san...
**[13:18] Izumida**
That's your team, this year's Team Sohoku.
**[13:22] Izumida**
I understand.
**[13:24] Izumida**
Since we have the chance,
let me introduce my team.
**[13:28] Izumida**
This year I created
**[13:30] Izumida**
the most passionate team
Hakone Academy High School has ever seen.
**[13:36] Izumida**
Powerfully, coolly, passionately,
we'll aim for victory.
**[13:41] Izumida**
We're the strongest team.
**[13:44] Sakamichi**
The strongest...
**[13:49] Sakamichi**
Passion...
**[13:53] Sakamichi**
There's a wall in front of us.
**[13:57] Sakamichi**
Hakone Academy High School is a wall.
**[14:01] (Flashback) Makishima**
Onoda.
**[14:04] (Flashback) Makishima**
If you have one thing you're good at,
**[14:06] (Flashback) Makishima**
and you're prevented from
doing it, what would you do?
**[14:10] Sakamichi**
The wall in front of us...
**[14:14] (Flashback) Makishima**
Wait? Run?
**[14:16] (Flashback) Makishima**
Go around it?
**[14:17] (Flashback) Makishima**
Would you become depressed?
**[14:25] (Flashback) Makishima**
You've gotta break through, yeah?
**[14:28] Sakamichi**
Yes, sir.
**[14:29] Sakamichi**
We have to break through, yeah.
**[14:32] Sakamichi**
Through the giant wall of
Hakone Academy High School.
**[14:36] Imaizumi**
You're right. We have to break through, yeah.
**[14:40] Teshima**
Yeah.
**[14:42] Naruko**
You're right, Onoda-kun.
**[14:43] Naruko**
Yeah.
**[14:45] Sakamichi**
Yeah.
**[14:47] Sakamichi**
Wait, what?
**[14:49] Sakamichi**
Um, did I say that out loud?
**[14:54] Sakamichi**
Did I?
**[14:55] Imaizumi**
Yeah.
**[14:56] Teshima**
You did.
**[14:57] Sakamichi**
I-I meant to think
"break through" inside my head...
**[15:01] Teshima**
Are you serious?
**[15:03] Naruko**
You said it really loud.
**[15:07] Imaizumi**
Sometimes you say "yeah"
when we're in class, too.
**[15:10] Sakamichi**
What?
**[15:13] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
D-Don't fall asleep, yeah.
**[15:18] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
I have to do my best, yeah.
**[15:27] Kuroda**
Touichirou...
**[15:29] Kuroda**
What are they?
**[15:31] Kuroda**
They're at a disadvantage.
**[15:33] Kuroda**
They lost the first result, too.
**[15:36] Kuroda**
But they're overflowing with pressure.
**[15:39] Izumida**
I thought so.
**[15:41] Izumida**
It's the one with the glasses.
**[15:43] Izumida**
Second-year Onoda.
**[15:45] Izumida**
He's creating that atmosphere.
**[15:49] Kuroda**
It doesn't look that way to me.
**[15:52] Kuroda**
You told me to be careful,
but he doesn't feel strong.
**[15:56] Kuroda**
Doubashi said it was just a fluke, too.
**[16:00] (Flashback) Doubashi**
It must've been a fluke.
**[16:02] (Flashback) Doubashi**
Otherwise, there's no way
those guys would've lost.
**[16:05] (Flashback) Doubashi**
Right, Kuroda-san?
**[16:07] (Flashback) Kuroda**
I get it.
**[16:08] (Flashback) Kuroda**
You already told me that.
**[16:10] (Flashback) Doubashi**
No, I'm not finished.
**[16:12] (Flashback) Doubashi**
It must've been a fluke that Onoda
won the general classification.
**[16:18] Kuroda**
That skinny kid...
**[16:21] Izumida**
He brings out the unlikely in road races.
**[16:23] Izumida**
The unexpected, Yuki.
**[16:26] Izumida**
Sohoku High School's key man,
Onoda Sakamichi...
**[16:30] Izumida**
We need to eliminate him from the
race sooner rather than later.
**[16:38] Sakamichi**
We've caught up to the lead sprinters.
**[16:40] Imaizumi**
Aoyagi-san!
**[16:41] Naruko**
Kabu!
**[16:42] Kuroda**
Doubashi!
**[16:45] Izumida**
Good job, Doubashi.
**[16:47] Doubashi**
Izumida-san!
**[16:48] Ashikiba**
Basshi...
**[16:50] Doubashi**
I beat Sohoku High School
to win the first result.
**[16:54] Izumida**
Well done.
**[16:59] Naruko**
Why'd you lose, Kabu?
**[17:02] Imaizumi**
How could you lose after running
off like that, showoff?
**[17:04] Kaburagi**
Why?
**[17:06] Kaburagi**
Everyone else was so nice.
**[17:08] Naruko**
Because we don't like you.
**[17:11] Imaizumi**
You're a disappointment.
**[17:13] Kaburagi**
Seriously?
**[17:15] Kaburagi**
Really? Really? Really?
**[17:19] Aoyagi**
Sorry, Junta.
**[17:22] Teshima**
It's fine.
**[17:23] Teshima**
The race is long.
**[17:24] Teshima**
We can still make up for it.
**[17:28] Teshima**
Onoda...
**[17:30] Sakamichi**
Yes, sir?
**[17:31] Teshima**
I have orders for you.
**[17:33] Sakamichi**
Orders? Yes, sir.
**[17:36] Aoyagi**
Junta?
**[17:38] Teshima**
Stay close to us.
**[17:40] Sakamichi**
What?
**[17:41] Teshima**
Stay toward the front.
**[17:43] Sakamichi**
Teshima-san?
**[17:46] Sakamichi**
Is it because the mountains are close?
**[17:50] Sakamichi**
Because Hakone Academy High School
will make a move?
**[17:52] Sakamichi**
But we still have a little ways
to go before the mountains.
**[17:55] Teshima**
They're making their move!
**[18:02] Kaburagi**
B-But their pace isn't that fast.
**[18:06] Teshima**
Not fast? It's the opposite, Kaburagi.
**[18:10] Kaburagi**
The opposite?
**[18:11] Teshima**
You haven't noticed because
we've been matching their pace.
**[18:16] Teshima**
Hakone Academy High School has been
gradually and deliberately slowing their pace,
**[18:21] Teshima**
so we wouldn't notice as they drew them in...
**[18:31] Teshima**
The pack behind us!
**[18:33] Rider 1**
There's Sohoku High School!
**[18:35] Rider 3**
And Hakone Academy High School!
**[18:36] Rider 4**
All right! We caught them!
**[18:38] Rider 1**
You're not getting away!
**[18:39] Naruko**
No way. Seriously?
**[18:41] Naruko**
I didn't notice them come up behind us.
**[18:42] Imaizumi**
The pack...
**[18:44] Imaizumi**
This isn't good.
**[18:45] Imaizumi**
They're out for blood since we passed them.
**[18:51] Imaizumi**
Such a large gathering of
wills can breed insanity.
**[18:59] Teshima**
We'll join the pack temporarily.
**[19:01] Teshima**
There are advantages.
**[19:02] Teshima**
We'll be able to rest.
**[19:04] Teshima**
In any case, stay with the team.
**[19:06] Rider**
Sohoku High School!
**[19:07] Rider**
Chiba!
**[19:09] Teshima**
But...
**[19:11] Teshima**
Damn it.
**[19:12] Teshima**
It's not just advantages.
**[19:14] Teshima**
Onoda!
**[19:16] Sakamichi**
Yes, sir!
**[19:17] Onoda**
To the front.
**[19:21] Rider 1**
We absorbed Sohoku High School
and Hakone Academy High School!
**[19:23] Rider 2**
All right!
**[19:24] Rider 3**
You can't just do as you please!
**[19:25] Rider 4**
See how strong we are?
**[19:30] Rider 1**
We're passing through old Imaichi City
and heading towards Nikkou City.
**[19:33] Rider 1**
We're almost at the mountains.
**[19:35] Rider 1**
Keep it up.
**[19:38] Teshima**
Onoda? Where's Onoda?
**[19:44] Sakamichi**
Teshima-san...
**[19:45] (Flashback) Teshima**
Stay close to us.
**[19:47] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
What?
**[19:49] (Flashback) Teshima**
Stay toward the front.
**[19:51] Sakamichi**
What am I doing?
**[19:53] Sakamichi**
I'm so far behind.
**[19:59] Sakamichi**
Um, it's dangerous to stick too close.
**[20:03] Sakamichi**
Could you—
**[20:07] Sakamichi**
Y-You're too close, guys.
**[20:09] Sakamichi**
It's dangerous while we're riding.
**[20:11] Sakamichi**
I can't move ahead when you're so—
**[20:13] Ineyo**
Sorry, but we're doing it deliberately.
**[20:17] Ineyo**
We're not letting you get to the front.
**[20:20] Sakamichi**
What?
**[20:25] Kaburagi**
Onoda-san's been separated.
**[20:29] Kaburagi**
He's too small. I can't see him.
**[20:33] Kaburagi**
Do you think he's all right?
**[20:34] Kaburagi**
Will he come up to us?
**[20:36] Teshima**
No, that may be difficult.
**[20:39] Kaburagi**
What?
**[20:42] Teshima**
We're almost at the mountains.
**[20:45] Teshima**
And he's wearing tag #1.
**[20:51] Kaburagi**
Tag #1?
**[20:53] Teshima**
He's last year's champion and a climber.
**[20:57] Teshima**
The other teams will be looking out
for a #1 who won a climb.
**[21:02] Teshima**
They'll be keeping him in check.
**[21:04] Teshima**
Onoda will experience for the first time
**[21:09] Teshima**
the real pressure that comes with tag #1.
**[21:12] Teshima**
Hakone Academy High School...
**[21:17] Izumida**
Looks like we won't have to use Yuto.
**[21:22] Sakamichi**
Teshima-san...
**[21:24] Sakamichi**
I can't get to the front.
**[23:11] Kuroda**
Are you hungry?
**[23:14] Kuroda**
Are you sure you should be
acting that way toward me?
**[23:24] Kuroda**
Hey, what's with the change in attitude?
**[23:26] Kuroda**
Are you an idol who's only
nice at handshake events?
**[23:28] Kuroda**
Were you faking it?
**[23:32] Izumida**
Yuki...
**[23:32] Ashikiba**
Yuki-chan...

National Route 119, Nikkou Kaidou.
**[00:05] Miki**
This mountain road lined with tall cedar
trees leads to Nikkou Toushou-guu Shrine,
**[00:10] Miki**
a national treasure with
over 400 years of history.
**[00:17] Miki**
The road becomes National Route 120 at the
intersection of the sacred bridge.
***SIGN*** 1,173m Above Sea Level
**[00:22] Miki**
The road rises even higher.
**[00:24] Miki**
The long winding road that starts at
one thousand meters above sea level
**[00:28] Miki**
will be the turning point in the
Inter-High's first-day mountain stage,
**[00:34] Miki**
Nikkou Irohazaka.
**[00:37] Sakamichi**
I've been separated.
**[00:38] Sakamichi**
Teshima-san told me to stay
towards the front, too.
**[00:41] Sakamichi**
He told me to stay with the team.

**[02:18] Fan**
I see them!
**[02:19] Fan**
They're here.
**[02:21] Fan**
There are so many of them.
**[02:22] Fan**
Go!
**[02:23] Fan**
You can do it!
**[02:27] Fan**
Everyone's riding together.
**[02:29] Fan**
Are they friends?
**[02:30] Fan**
Well, actually...
**[02:32] Fan**
When the road's gently sloping,
it's easier for everyone to ride together.
**[02:35] Fan**
The wind resistance is—
**[02:37] Fan**
Let's just say they're working together.
**[02:40] Fan**
But there's a hill ahead, right?
**[02:43] Fan**
Yeah.
**[02:44] Fan**
Then they won't be able
to ride together anymore.
**[02:46] Fan**
What?
**[02:47] Fan**
The line they're riding in now
will get longer and longer.
**[02:50] Fan**
By the end, they'll be separated.
**[02:51] Both**
What?
**[02:53] Fan**
Separated?
**[02:53] Fan**
Differences in strength
become apparent on climbs.
**[02:57] Fan**
Won't they be lonely?
**[02:58] Fan**
Each team establishes its own
strategy so that doesn't happen.
**[03:03] Fan**
Strategy? Then they'll be fine.
**[03:06] Fan**
But what if they mess up?
**[03:08] Fan**
If that happens,
then they'll have to ride alone.
**[03:14] Sakamichi**
What am I doing?
**[03:16] Sakamichi**
The six of us just met up.
**[03:19] Sakamichi**
But I got swallowed by the pack
and separated from the others.
**[03:21] Sakamichi**
I need to get back to the front.
**[03:23] Sakamichi**
Teshima-san and the others are at the front...
**[03:25] Sakamichi**
Far ahead, where I can't see them.
**[03:28] Sakamichi**
I'll go back. I'll go back. I'll go back!
**[03:31] Sakamichi**
I'll get back to the others
before we enter the mountains.
**[03:36] Rider**
I told you, we're not letting
you go to the front.
**[03:39] Rider**
After all, you're a climber wearing tag #1.
**[03:44] Sakamichi**
I just want to get back
to Teshima-san—to my team.
**[03:48] Sakamichi**
Can't you—
**[03:48] Rider**
What will you do then?
**[03:50] Rider**
Receive orders from your team and
ride to win the mountain stage, right?
**[03:55] Sakamichi**
What?
**[03:56] Rider**
That's what we fear most.
**[04:00] Rider**
We have climbers on our teams, too.
**[04:02] Rider**
The first day's mountain stage
is the Inter-High's medal.
**[04:06] Rider**
Everyone respects the first day because
we can fight without restraint.
**[04:12] Rider**
The red number tag is a badge of pride.
**[04:14] Rider**
Everyone wants it.
Every team is riding for it.
**[04:17] Rider**
Sorry, but we need you to stay out of it.
**[04:19] Sakamichi**
I just... I just...
**[04:22] Sakamichi**
I just want to do my job.
**[04:24] Rider**
Stop Sohoku High School's Onoda,
the bearer of tag #1.
**[04:28] Rider**
That's my job.
**[04:30] Rider**
I plan to do my job, too.
**[04:33] Rider**
For my team.
**[04:36] Rider**
Sohoku High School's Onoda, tag #1...
**[04:38] Rider**
This is Onoda? He's the
only one I won't let go.
**[04:42] Sakamichi**
I can feel their pressure.
**[04:45] Sakamichi**
What do I do? What do I do?
**[04:47] Sakamichi**
What do I do?
**[04:49] (Flashback) Aoyagi**
What did you learn from Makishima-san?
**[04:52] (Flashback) Aoyagi**
Carry on their legacy. Teach him.
**[04:54] (Flashback) Aoyagi**
Show him with your riding.
**[04:55] Sakamichi**
Show them with my riding.
**[04:57] Sakamichi**
That's right. I have to get to the front.
**[05:01] Sakamichi**
The front...
**[05:03] Sakamichi**
He asked me to take care of
Sohoku High School for him.
**[05:08] Sakamichi**
Move, please!
**[05:10] Sakamichi**
Please!
**[05:11] Rider**
Get back in line, #1!
**[05:13] Sakamichi**
No!
**[05:19] Sakamichi**
The metal part of my pedal clipped his ankle.
**[05:22] Rider**
I'm Yamagata Mogami High School
second-year Inashiro Bunya.
**[05:26] Rider**
I'm Mogami's assistant in the mountains.
**[05:28] Rider**
I won't let you go.
**[05:30] Rider**
I'd sacrifice my legs to keep you here.
**[05:33] Rider**
I'll block like my life's at stake.
**[05:36] Rider**
Win the stage, Kawahara-san.
**[05:40] Imaizumi**
The climb has started.
We've entered the mountains.
**[05:45] Rider**
The incline has increased sharply
since we passed Nikkou Station.
**[05:48] Rider**
The real race starts now. Hang in there.
**[05:51] Rider**
Yes, sir.
**[05:51] Naruko**
What is Onoda-kun doing?
**[05:53] Naruko**
He's supposed to be good at climbs!
**[05:55] Kaburagi**
He's really not coming. What happened?
**[05:59] Kaburagi**
Should I have dropped
back to bring him to us?
**[06:01] Teshima**
Onoda!
**[06:03] Imaizumi**
Onoda...
**[06:04] Imaizumi**
The pressure of tag #1.
**[06:06] Imaizumi**
We thought we prepared for everything,
but we never practiced brushing that off.
**[06:12] Imaizumi**
Come up to us, Onoda.
**[06:14] Imaizumi**
Quickly. Otherwise...
**[06:16] Rider**
I'm Nagano Chuou High School's climber.
**[06:18] Rider**
They call me the Guardian of the Alps.
**[06:21] Rider**
I am Awagashira Yumichika.
**[06:24] Rider**
Though he temporarily lead the race,
**[06:26] Rider**
he sadly ended up third at
the end of the mountain stage.
**[06:28] Rider**
I will vindicate the honor
of Tatebayashi-senpai.
**[06:31] Rider**
I'm Shizuoka Fujigawa High School's
climber Daikanji Haruichi.
**[06:35] Rider**
Mt. Fuji is my home turf.
**[06:37] Rider**
There's no mountain taller than Mt. Fuji.
**[06:39] Rider**
Look! It's Yamagata Mogami High School
third-year Kawahara Gunpei!
**[06:42] Rider**
Rumor has it he's the strongest
climber at this tournament!
**[06:45] Rider**
Bunya, I'm counting on your assistance.
**[06:48] Rider**
I'll claim the mountain number tag.
**[06:51] Rider**
They're so fast!
**[06:52] Rider**
They're making their move already?
**[06:54] Imaizumi**
The climbers are taking
off one after another.
**[06:58] Imaizumi**
Hakone hasn't made their move yet,
**[07:00] Imaizumi**
but it's only a matter of time.
**[07:02] (Flashback) Teshima**
We'll slow down as much as
we can and wait for Onoda.
**[07:06] (Flashback) Teshima**
Whatever you do, don't let
Hakone get farther ahead.
**[07:09] (Flashback) Both**
Yes, sir.
**[07:10] Imaizumi**
We can't wait any longer.
**[07:13] Teshima**
The pack has stretched out
since we entered the climb.
**[07:15] Teshima**
I don't see him.
**[07:17] Teshima**
They're scattered.
**[07:19] Naruko**
Okay, then.
**[07:21] Naruko**
Kabu and I will go rescue
Onoda-kun real quick.
**[07:32] Sakamichi**
At some point, I ended up in last place.
***SIGN*** Sohoku
**[07:36] Sakamichi**
I'm at the end of the stretched-out pack.
***SIGN*** Onoda
**[07:40] Sakamichi**
I need to get back to the
group quickly. Quickly.
**[07:43] Sakamichi**
I have to do something.
**[07:45] Sakamichi**
It's probably not that bad yet.
**[07:48] Sakamichi**
If the way in front of me is blocked, then...
**[07:54] Sakamichi**
I'll go back.
**[07:55] Rider**
He stopped!
**[07:56] Rider**
He braked hard! Is he having
trouble with his bike?
**[07:59] Rider**
No!
**[08:04] Rider**
Crap!
**[08:05] Rider**
I wasn't expecting him to
use being in last place!
**[08:07] Rider**
Catch him!
**[08:08] Rider**
We've already started to enter the climb!
**[08:10] Rider**
He's unbelievably fast going uphill!
**[08:15] Sakamichi**
I'll catch up like this.
**[08:17] Rider**
He's fast!
**[08:18] Rider**
You can't be serious!
How can he accelerate like that?
**[08:21] Rider**
Ride as hard as you can!
**[08:23] Rider**
Damn it!
**[08:25] Rider**
Mogami High School's Inashiro jumped ahead!
**[08:26] Rider**
If we don't, he'll get away!
**[08:29] Rider**
Don't underestimate me, tag #1.
**[08:31] Rider**
I'm Kawahara-san's mountain stage assistant.
**[08:33] Rider**
An assistant...
**[08:36] Rider**
...has an assistant's pride!
**[08:39] Rider**
Stop, Sohoku High School's Onoda!
**[08:41] Rider**
Yamagata Mogami High School's
Inashiro cut in front of him!
**[08:47] Rider**
Sorry.
**[08:48] Rider**
That was a little rough, but I
can't let you get to the front.
**[08:52] Rider**
Yamagata Mogami High School will
take the mountain number tag.
**[08:55] Rider**
You're not getting away, Sohoku High School.
**[08:58] Rider**
Sohoku High School's #1
was last year's champion.
**[09:02] Rider**
He's stronger than I expected.
He pedals hard.
**[09:05] Rider**
I can't believe he rode so awkwardly
in the middle of the pack.
**[09:09] Rider**
In a few hundred meters, the seven-man
blockade we had dropped to three.
**[09:17] Sakamichi**
They're blocking me from behind.
**[09:19] Sakamichi**
I won't be able to use that again.
**[09:22] Sakamichi**
Teshima-san...
**[09:23] Rider**
I'll stop him. That's my job.
**[09:26] Rider**
I'll do it for Kawahara-san.
**[09:29] Fan**
The leaders are here!
**[09:31] Fan**
It's Nagano Chuou and Shizuoka Fujigawa!
**[09:32] Fan**
There's one more behind them!
**[09:34] Fan**
He's so fast!
**[09:35] Fan**
It's Yamagata Mogami High School
third-year Kawahara Gunpei!
**[09:38] Fan**
Wow, look at him climb!
**[09:40] Fan**
He's not even breaking a sweat!
**[09:43] Fan**
He's in first!
**[09:44] Rider**
Bunya, are you working hard?
**[09:47] Rider**
I promise I'll take it this year.
**[09:49] Rider**
I'll claim the mountain number tag.
**[09:55] Naruko**
What do you mean we can't go
back for him, Teshima-san?
**[09:58] Teshima**
I meant exactly what I said.
**[10:00] Teshima**
I won't allow it.
**[10:02] Naruko**
Why not?
**[10:03] Naruko**
Is it because we're in the mountains?
**[10:04] Naruko**
Because he'll make it
back at the last minute?
**[10:06] Naruko**
I'm saying we should rescue him
because he hasn't come back.
**[10:10] Naruko**
The other teams are getting in his way.
**[10:12] Naruko**
Anyone would keep last
year's champion in check.
**[10:15] Naruko**
He can't ride at his own pace.
**[10:17] Naruko**
Kabu and I will go back and get him.
**[10:20] Naruko**
Onoda-kun's never experienced
something like this.
**[10:22] Teshima**
Shouting at the night's
darkness won't create light.
**[10:25] Teshima**
All you can do is wait for dawn.
**[10:27] Naruko**
What is that, some kind of riddle?
**[10:29] Kaburagi**
What? A riddle?
**[10:31] Naruko**
We're in the mountains,
and Onoda-kun's not here.
**[10:34] Naruko**
There's no telling when
Hakone will make their move.
**[10:36] Naruko**
And you want us to wait in silence?
**[10:38] Teshima**
I'm telling you not to act recklessly!
**[10:41] Naruko**
What?
**[10:42] Teshima**
If we changed our formation,
we'd be playing into their hands.
**[10:46] Teshima**
It may look like they're not paying attention,
but they're keeping a close eye on us.
**[10:50] Teshima**
If our numbers decrease, they'll attack.
**[10:53] Teshima**
We'll fall behind.
**[10:55] Teshima**
If you and Kaburagi go back, leaving three
of us, it'll be three against six.
**[11:00] Teshima**
They're waiting for
just that kind of situation.
**[11:04] Teshima**
Their goal is to force our
entire team out of the race.
**[11:07] Naruko**
What?
**[11:09] Kaburagi**
Then we can't rescue him.
**[11:12] Teshima**
We're at an overwhelming disadvantage.
**[11:15] Teshima**
We have to climb this mountain without our
ace climber and two exhausted sprinters.
**[11:21] Teshima**
We're about to start up
the hellish Irohazaka.
**[11:24] Teshima**
And this year's Hakone Academy High School
has Kuroda, Ashikiba, Manami, and Shinkai.
**[11:31] Teshima**
They have four climbers.
**[11:34] Naruko**
Four.
**[11:36] Naruko**
I noticed Shinkai's little brother
didn't race in the sprint.
**[11:39] Naruko**
So he's a climber, huh?
**[11:41] Kaburagi**
Then will we give up on
winning the mountain stage?
**[11:44] Kaburagi**
Onoda-san's not back yet.
**[11:46] Teshima**
We can't.
**[11:47] Teshima**
If they make their move, we'll have to, as well.
**[11:50] Kaburagi**
Why? We can just let them
do whatever they want.
**[11:53] Teshima**
If we do that, they'll head
straight for the finish line.
**[11:58] Kaburagi**
What? The finish line?
**[12:00] Aoyagi**
The results of the mountain stage
affect the finish line after that.
**[12:04] Aoyagi**
We can't let them take
the mountains so easily.
**[12:07] Naruko**
Aoyagi-san...
**[12:09] Imaizumi**
Aoyagi-san said two whole sentences.
**[12:12] Kaburagi**
What are we going to do, then?
**[12:13] Teshima**
I have orders for you.
**[12:16] Both**
Yes, sir.
**[12:17] Teshima**
Imaizumi...
**[12:18] Imaizumi**
Yes, sir.
**[12:19] Naruko**
Looks like is a job for hotshot.
**[12:20] Teshima**
You and Naruko take turns pulling the
team and prepare for the finish line.
**[12:26] Teshima**
You're our ace.
**[12:27] Teshima**
Without you at the finish line,
we'll lose what should be ours.
**[12:30] Teshima**
Sorry for making you spend your energy,
**[12:33] Teshima**
but take our exhausted sprinters
to the top of the mountain.
**[12:36] Kaburagi**
Exhausted sprinter?
**[12:38] Kaburagi**
He must be talking about you.
**[12:41] Naruko**
Then who's—
**[12:43] Rider**
Hakone's making their move!
**[12:45] Imaizumi**
They're moving!
**[12:45] Naruko**
Hakone Academy High School!
**[12:46] Teshima**
Who will they send?
**[12:47] Izumida**
It's nearly time.
**[12:49] Izumida**
Go win the mountain stage.
**[12:51] Izumida**
Go, Manami.
**[12:53] Manami**
Yes, sir.
**[12:56] Manami**
The weather's great today.
**[12:59] Manami**
These kinds of days are the
most fun for climbing hills.
**[13:03] Kuroda**
Hey, Manami. Don't be so relaxed.
**[13:06] Kuroda**
The other climbers are already climbing.
**[13:08] Manami**
Don't worry, Kuroda-san.
**[13:10] Manami**
I'll go enjoy the hill.
**[13:14] Kuroda**
Strangely enough,
he's managed to hone his skills.
**[13:17] Izumida**
Go, Manami.
**[13:19] Izumida**
Pass the climbers in front of you.
**[13:21] Izumida**
If things go well,
take the first day's finish line.
**[13:25] Naruko**
Are you for real?
**[13:26] Teshima**
Yes, for real.
**[13:28] Teshima**
Without Onoda, we don't have a choice.
**[13:30] Izumida**
Who will Sohoku High School send?
**[13:33] Izumida**
You can't be serious.
**[13:34] Izumida**
You're challenging the mountains?
**[13:36] Izumida**
Sorry to be rude, but I don't think
you have a climber's ability or instinct.
**[13:39] Teshima**
Yeah, that's why I'll climb with hard work!
**[13:48] Fan**
Hakone's making its move!
**[13:49] Fan**
The first day's mountain race has begun!
**[13:52] Fan**
It's last year's second place finisher,
second-year Manami Sangaku!
**[13:57] Fan**
Sohoku High School's coming, too!
**[13:59] Fan**
Is it Onoda?
**[14:03] Fan**
What? It's not Onoda.
**[14:05] Fan**
I'm kind of disappointed.
**[14:07] Fan**
I came to see last year's champion race.
**[14:09] Fan**
Is he holding back?
**[14:10] Fan**
No, look at that.
**[14:11] Fan**
Onoda's not with Sohoku High School?
**[14:13] Fan**
Is he having problems?
**[14:15] Fan**
Number 5, Teshima Junta.
**[14:17] Fan**
He seemed pretty ordinary.
**[14:19] Izumida**
Abs!
**[14:23] Izumida**
Excuse me.
**[14:25] Izumida**
I mustn't laugh.
**[14:28] Izumida**
I feel sorry for you.
**[14:29] Izumida**
Your captain, Teshima-kun, became emotional.
**[14:32] Izumida**
He lost Onoda Sakamichi, the man he meant
to send, when he was swallowed by the pack.
**[14:36] Izumida**
He felt responsible.
**[14:38] Izumida**
He lost his #1 due to his own mistake.
**[14:41] Izumida**
Isn't that right?
**[14:44] Izumida**
But I can't believe he sent himself.
**[14:49] Izumida**
Imaizumi-kun, shouldn't you have gone?
**[14:53] Izumida**
I can tell from watching him so far.
**[14:55] Izumida**
He's smart, but he's an unexceptional rider.
**[14:58] Izumida**
Climb with hard work?
**[15:00] Izumida**
No, let me be blunt.
**[15:02] Izumida**
He doesn't stand a chance...
**[15:05] Izumida**
...against our Manami.
**[15:11] Imaizumi**
Let me say my piece, too.
**[15:14] Imaizumi**
For the past year, he's been
working hard every time I saw him.
**[15:23] Teshima**
You think I'm reckless, Izumida?
**[15:25] Teshima**
Would you stop me, Imaizumi?
**[15:28] Teshima**
Would you say I don't stand a chance, Naruko?
**[15:32] Teshima**
I don't blame them. I'm not special.
**[15:35] Teshima**
On top of that, we're at the Inter-High.
**[15:37] Teshima**
It's the glorious mountain stage.
**[15:39] Teshima**
I know this isn't my job.
**[15:42] Teshima**
But I...
**[15:45] (Flashback) Makishima**
Teshima, you're a climber.
**[15:48] Teshima**
I was told to climb.
**[15:50] Teshima**
I was told to put one foot
in front of the other.
**[15:54] Teshima**
I don't have any special abilities.
I can't leap ahead.
**[15:58] Teshima**
Honestly, once upon a time,
I wanted to be like that.
**[16:02] Teshima**
But I'll show you, one step at a time...
**[16:04] Teshima**
the ordinary way I ride along the ground.
**[16:09] Fan**
Sohoku High School caught up to
Hakone Academy High School's Manami!
**[16:12] Fan**
It's #5!
**[16:13] Fan**
Who's #5?
**[16:15] Manami**
You're Sakamichi-kun's senpai.
**[16:17] Teshima**
Hey. I saw your amazing race to the
finish last year, Manami Sangaku.
**[16:23] Teshima**
Let's ride to the peak together,
since we have the chance.
**[16:28] Manami**
I hate to waste an opportunity...
**[16:31] Manami**
But I'm in a bit of a hurry.
**[16:33] Manami**
I was told to win the mountain stage.
**[16:37] Teshima**
His acceleration is amazing.
**[16:39] Teshima**
It's totally different seeing it up close.
**[16:41] Teshima**
He's fast, but...
**[16:45] Teshima**
I'll catch him!
**[16:51] Teshima**
Let's ride together.
**[16:53] Manami**
Wow, you caught up.
**[16:55] Manami**
You're better than I thought.
**[16:57] Teshima**
I'm still your elder.
**[16:59] Teshima**
Show some respect and ride slower.
**[17:02] Teshima**
He's not using the wings I've heard about.
**[17:06] Teshima**
Does that mean he can go even faster?
**[17:09] Manami**
I still don't see the
climbers in front of us.
**[17:12] Teshima**
We haven't even entered Irohazaka yet.
**[17:15] Teshima**
Climbing is hard, Makishima-san.
**[17:19] Manami**
Ah, found one.
***SIGN*** Inter-High Road Race
**[17:30] Fan**
It's Hakone Academy High School
and Sohoku High School!
***SIGN*** Manami-sama
**[17:37] Fan**
He's so cool!
**[17:40] Manami**
Hello.
**[17:46] Teshima**
This is Manami Sangaku.
**[17:48] Teshima**
He climbs as though inclines
are nothing to him.
**[17:51] Teshima**
We've already passed five of the
climbers who were riding ahead of us.
**[17:54] (Flashback) Rider**
Whoa, it's Manami!
**[17:55] (Flashback) Rider**
Sohoku High School!
**[17:57] Teshima**
He's fast. He's horrifyingly fast.
**[18:00] Teshima**
And he's smiling.
**[18:02] Teshima**
I can barely keep up.
**[18:06] Fan**
Sohoku High School's #5...
**[18:08] Fan**
He really seemed to be struggling.
***SIGN*** Irohazaka Map
**[18:12] Teshima**
Please, Manami Sangaku.
**[18:15] Teshima**
Don't ride as hard as you can yet.
**[18:17] Fan**
They're entering Irohazaka!
**[18:18] Teshima**
We just made it to the entrance of Irohazaka.
**[18:18] Fan**
It's Hakone Academy High School's Manami!
**[18:20] Fan**
There's one Sohoku High School
rider following him!
**[18:22] Manami**
Huh? You're amazing.
**[18:25] Manami**
You're keeping up with me,
Sakamichi-kun's senpai.
**[18:28] Manami**
Was your name Kojima-san?
**[18:29] Teshima**
It's Teshima.
**[18:31] Teshima**
I'm wearing a Sohoku High School jersey, too.
**[18:34] Teshima**
It won't be that easy to—
**[18:36] Manami**
Do you like slopes?
**[18:39] Teshima**
Not particularly.
**[18:40] Manami**
Really?
**[18:41] Manami**
Then you don't need to keep up.
**[18:44] Manami**
You won't make any progress
doing something you don't like.
**[18:47] Teshima**
Don't say that so casually.
**[18:49] Teshima**
My situation doesn't allow for that.
**[18:53] Manami**
At school, there's a class rep
who's always getting mad at me.
**[18:57] Manami**
She wears half-moon glasses.
**[18:59] Manami**
She told me to stop coming late and do
my homework since I'm a second-year now.
**[19:04] Manami**
She hates bugs,
**[19:05] Manami**
but she comes to cheer the team on at
these courses in the middle of nature.
**[19:10] Manami**
When I asked if she likes
road races, she said...
**[19:12] (Flashback) Girl**
Not really.
**[19:13] (Flashback) Girl**
I don't particularly like bicycles.
**[19:18] Manami**
Can you believe it?
**[19:19] Manami**
But she's coming again this year.
**[19:22] (Flashback) Girl**
Well, it's close enough
that I can take the train.
**[19:25] Manami**
People are so strange, aren't they?
**[19:28] Teshima**
Maybe.
**[19:30] Teshima**
I'm wondering why I'm chasing after first-rate
Hakone Academy High School climber
**[19:37] Teshima**
Manami Sangaku with such
an elevated heart rate.
**[19:39] Teshima**
But I always arrive at the same answer.
**[19:43] Manami**
Ah, found another one.
**[19:47] Teshima**
You idiot!
**[19:48] Teshima**
I wasn't finished talking!
**[19:51] Teshima**
Is this Manami's full acceleration?
**[19:53] Teshima**
He's fast. The timing's totally different.
**[19:56] Teshima**
I can feel how much stronger he is,
but don't give up now, Teshima Junta!
**[20:03] Rider**
Manami!
**[20:04] Rider**
The man who inherited tag #3 from
Hakone Academy High School's Mountain God.
**[20:09] Rider**
You won't pass me.
**[20:10] Rider**
I'm Shizuoka Fujigawa High School's Daikanji.
**[20:12] Rider**
My home turf is Mt. Fuji.
**[20:15] Rider**
He's unbelievable. He passed me so easily.
**[20:18] Rider**
Sohoku High School, too?
**[20:19] Rider**
What? Number 5?
**[20:21] Rider**
That's their captain, Teshima.
**[20:22] Rider**
I thought he was their leader.
**[20:25] Rider**
Why's he chasing after Hakone by himself?
**[20:28] Rider**
Huh? Teshima wasn't in the race last year.
**[20:31] Rider**
He's making his first
appearance as a third-year?
**[20:33] Rider**
And he's chasing after him?
**[20:37] Rider**
Hakone Academy High School's Manami?
**[20:39] Rider**
That's impossible. There's no way.
**[20:42] Rider**
It's reckless, no matter how you look at it.
**[20:49] Manami**
Wow. You're amazing, Teshima-san.
**[20:52] Manami**
You kept up with that.
**[20:54] Manami**
But are you sure you
should be riding so fast?
**[20:58] Manami**
Irohazaka has a long ways to go.
**[21:00] Manami**
And there are still riders in front of us.
**[21:13] Manami**
What? In front of me?
**[21:15] Teshima**
Don't worry... about me.
**[21:18] Teshima**
I'm Sohoku High School's captain,
third-year Teshima Junta.
**[21:22] Teshima**
People laugh at me all the
time for being ordinary.
**[21:26] Teshima**
Racing and exhausting you,
Hakone Academy High School's ace climber,
**[21:30] Teshima**
and winning the Inter-High's
mountain stage is my job!
**[21:38] Manami**
I'm starting to get interested.
**[21:48] Sakamichi**
Teshima-san is on the board!
**[23:24] Kuroda**
He's so cold when I don't have food.
**[23:26] Manami**
Kuroda-san!
**[23:28] Kuroda**
Oh, Manami.
**[23:29] Manami**
Hey, it's a cat.
**[23:33] Manami**
Wow.
**[23:34] Kuroda**
Why?
**[23:35] Manami**
You're so cute.

N-No, it's a report.
**[00:25] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
It's for my math homework.
**[00:26] (Flashback) Naruko**
Sucks for you. That's a lot of pages.

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

His only orders were to keep toward

**[03:41] Sakamichi**
But that can't be right.
**[03:43] Sakamichi**
His message probably the same
as during the Minegayama race.
**[03:49] Sakamichi**
"I'll be waiting for you in

**[03:55] Inashiro**
Number 1's pressure changed
the moment he saw the sign.
**[04:00] Inashiro**
Watch out.
**[04:01] Inashiro**
He's going to make his move.
**[04:02] Nagano**
We know.
**[04:03] Shizuoka**
He's not getting anywhere.
**[04:05] Inashiro**
He'll definitely try to surprise us.

Excuse me. I'm going to pass you now!

"Princess"? What's that?

When Sohoku High School's
Onoda starts singing to himself...
**[04:21] Nagano**

I've always kept these feelings secret!
**[04:28] Sakamichi**
Be my princess forever, ta-tum-tum-tum!

Just block him!

The anime I most highly
recommend, *Love Hime*,
**[04:36] Sakamichi**
ended its first season
amidst great popularity.

After taking a break in September,
**[04:40] Sakamichi**
the long-awaited second season
started the other day.
**[04:43] Shizuoka**
First? First what?
**[04:44] Nagano**
Does he think he can place first?
**[04:46] Nagano**
You won't pass us.
**[04:46] Sakamichi**
"The Princess's Spinning One-Sided Love"
is the powered-up
**[04:49] Sakamichi**
second season opening theme of
*Love Hime Pettanko*, which is back on the air!

Don't shrink from him! There's three of us!
**[05:08] Sakamichi**
Be my princess forever!
**[05:11] Sakamichi**
I've always kept these feelings secret!
**[05:14] Inashiro**
He's smiling! Can he go even faster?
**[05:16] Sakamichi**
Be my princess forever!
**[05:19] Sakamichi**
Princess! Spin, spin, spin!
**[05:21] Shizuoka**

**[05:21] Sakamichi**
Miracle, spin, spin, spin! Ah, ah, ah!
**[05:22] Inashiro**
A miracle?
**[05:25] Nagano**
But we slowed him down for five minutes.
**[05:27] Nagano**
He can't catch up to the front now.
**[05:29] Inashiro**
I'm not so sure.
**[05:31] Inashiro**
While we were keeping him at a slow pace,
he may have been saving his strength.
**[05:38] Inashiro**

#1 doing behind us?
**[05:56] Sakamichi**
Teshima-san, I'm coming.
**[05:59] Shizuoka**
What do you mean, "dramatic pursuit"?
**[06:01] Inashiro**
He means to catch up to the front.
**[06:04] Shizuoka**
That's impossible.
**[06:05] Shizuoka**
We slowed him down for so long.
**[06:07] Shizuoka**
And the pack's ahead of him.
**[06:08] Shizuoka**
It's impossible for him to
race for the mountain results.
**[06:10] Nagano**
When I cut in front of him,
**[06:14] Nagano**
instead of reflexively dodging me
or braking like normal,
**[06:18] Nagano**
he just kept staring off into the distance.
**[06:22] Nagano**
Like his goal was far ahead of him.
**[06:29] Sakamichi**
I've always kept these feelings secret!
**[06:29] Rider C**
#1's coming!
**[06:31] Rider D**
Sohoku High School second-year
Onoda Sakamichi!
**[06:34] Rider E**
Did he break through the barricade?
**[06:34] Sakamichi**
Be my princess forever, ta-tum-tum-tum!
**[06:37] Sakamichi**
Princess! Spin, spin, spin!
**[06:40] Iwakuni**
It's Sohoku High School's
Onoda's Singing Climb!
**[06:40] Sakamichi**
Miracle, spin, spin, spin! Ah, ah, ah!
**[06:43] Okutani**
Don't let him through! Block the road!
**[06:45] Both**
Yes, sir!
**[06:45] Yamagiwa**
Don't bother.
**[06:47] Okutani**
Yamagiwa-san...
**[06:49] Yamagiwa**
Road racing is a gentleman's sport.
**[06:52] Yamagiwa**
Last year's champion
deserves the most respect.
**[06:57] Yamagiwa**
We didn't even send a climber
to compete for the mountains.
**[07:00] Yamagiwa**
Blocking him for no strategic
reason would be uncool.
**[07:07] Yamagiwa**
This is the respect we have for tag #1.
**[07:14] Sakamichi**
Thank you!
**[07:17] Sakamichi**
Thanks for the help.
**[07:18] Sakamichi**
Excuse me.
**[07:20] Rider 1**
His hips are so low.
**[07:21] Rider 2**
That's #1...
**[07:23] Rider 3**
I would've bragged like
crazy if I took #1.
**[07:26] Rider 4**
He's our opponent, but he's still amazing.
**[07:29] Rider 3**
He makes me want to cheer for him.
**[07:31] Fan 1**
It's tag #1!
**[07:33] Fan 2**
The pack's right in front of you!
**[07:36] Fan 2**
Once you pass that, your team's right there!
**[07:38] Sakamichi**
Princess!
**[07:39] Sakamichi**
I can almost see the pack.
**[07:43] Sakamichi**
Once I pass that, I'll be with my team.
**[07:46] Sakamichi**
Excuse me. Let me through, please!
**[07:53] Sakamichi**
Thank you!
**[07:55] Okutani**
You think he'll make it all the way there?
**[07:58] Yamagiwa**
It's not that simple.
**[08:01] Yamagiwa**
Road racing is aiming for victory as a team.
**[08:04] Yamagiwa**
Naturally, there will be some
who won't want to let him pass.
**[08:10] Sakamichi**
I made it through the pack.
**[08:17] Sakamichi**
Kyoto Fushimi High School...
**[08:25] Midousuji**
What's wrong? You look
like you've seen a ghost.
**[08:32] Sakamichi**
Midousuji-kun...
**[08:40] Sakamichi**
Midousuji-kun again...
**[08:42] Midousuji**
You in a hurry?
**[08:45] Midousuji**
Lose something important?
**[08:50] Midousuji**
Something similar happened
last year, didn't it?
**[09:00] Midousuji**
What did you lose?
**[09:02] Midousuji**
Sorry, but I'm controlling this pack.
**[09:07] Sakamichi**
I need to get past Midousuji-kun.
**[09:10] Sakamichi**
Through Kyoto Fushimi High School.
**[09:17] Sakamichi**
Komori-kun...
**[09:18] Midousuji**
You must've lost something
irreplaceable to you.
**[09:24] Midousuji**
Was it your trust? Your role?
**[09:26] Midousuji**
Your eyes are desperate.
**[09:28] Sakamichi**
I need to get back to the others.
**[09:31] Sakamichi**
To Teshima-san!
**[09:33] Midousuji**
But whatever you've lost isn't coming back.
**[09:39] Sakamichi**
Let me through!
**[09:43] Mizuta**
You're not getting through, #1.
**[09:46] Mizuta**
As Kyoto Fushimi High School's
captain and secret ace,
**[09:50] Mizuta**
and as a rider must stronger than I was
last year, I, Mizuta Nobuyuki, will stop you.
**[09:54] Mizuta**
I'm the guy who stopped Hakone Academy
High School's #2, Arakita Yasutomo.
**[09:58] Mizuta**
I am Kyoto Fushimi High School's Iron Wall!
**[10:00] Midousuji**
Mizuta-kun!
**[10:03] Midousuji**
All I did was instruct you to enter Phase 9.
**[10:07] Midousuji**
Stop #1 if he tries to get ahead.
**[10:10] Midousuji**
I didn't say you could chat with him.
**[10:14] Sakamichi**
Midousuji-kun looked bigger for a second.
**[10:17] Mizuta**
I-I'm not.
**[10:18] Mizuta**
As the team's captain, I was
just telling him who we are.
**[10:21] Midousuji**
We don't need that kind of vanity.
**[10:26] Midousuji**
What my team needs is
perfect soldiers. True Zakus.
**[10:32] Midousuji**
With only the will to move forward,
even if their arms and legs fall off.
**[10:35] Midousuji**
If you're going to show off your
individuality just because it's the Inter-High,
**[10:40] Midousuji**
I'll let you go...
**[10:42] Midousuji**
At any time.
**[10:45] Mizuta**
I-I get it, Midousuji-kun.
**[10:50] Yamaguchi**
Midousuji...
**[10:52] (Flashback) Midousuji**
We have only one goal this year.
**[10:56] (Flashback) Midousuji**
And that's victory.
**[10:59] Yamaguchi**
*He seems bigger lately.*
**[11:01] Yamaguchi**
*That pressure...*
**[11:04] (Flashback) Midousuji**
Anyone thinking too many stupid
thoughts to keep up can quit.
**[11:11] Yamaguchi**
Eighty percent of the first-years
who joined this year quit.
**[11:16] Sign**
Kyoto Fushimi High School
Graduation
**[11:17] (Flashback) Yamaguchi**
There you are, Ishigaki-san.
**[11:21] (Flashback) Ishigaki**
I graduated.
**[11:23] (Flashback) Ishigaki**
I need to thank you, Yama.
**[11:26] (Flashback) Ishigaki**
Thanks for your help.
**[11:27] (Flashback) Yamaguchi**
Oh, no. Thank you.
**[11:30] (Flashback) Ishigaki**
You worked hard at the Inter-High.
**[11:33] (Flashback) Ishigaki**
I remember how you pulled on the
flats during the second day.
**[11:38] (Flashback) Ishigaki**
It was amazing.
**[11:39] (Flashback) Yamaguchi**
I dropped out in the mountains
after that, though.
**[11:43] (Flashback) Ishigaki**
I'm counting on you to
carry the team next year.
**[11:45] (Flashback) Yamaguchi**
What?
**[11:46] (Flashback) Yamaguchi**
You should be telling
Mizuta and Midousuji that.
**[11:49] (Flashback) Yamaguchi**
I'll just be doing my
best as their assistant.
**[11:53] (Flashback) Yamaguchi**
Everyone's waiting.
**[11:54] (Flashback) Yamaguchi**
Let's go to the third-year sendoff party.
**[11:57] (Flashback) Yamaguchi**
Midousuji won't be there, though.
**[12:00] (Flashback) Ishigaki**
Yama...
**[12:03] (Flashback) Ishigaki**
You're a patient guy.
**[12:06] (Flashback) Yamaguchi**
What?
**[12:08] (Flashback) Ishigaki**
Midousuji is a talented rider.
**[12:10] (Flashback) Ishigaki**
His legs are strong,
and his instincts are good.
**[12:12] (Flashback) Ishigaki**
He has leadership qualities, too.
**[12:14] (Flashback) Ishigaki**
But to win at road races,
**[12:18] (Flashback) Ishigaki**
in the end, you need a conscience to
tell you to believe in each other.
**[12:22] (Flashback) Ishigaki**
Yama, you have to be Midousuji's conscience.
**[12:26] (Flashback) Yamaguchi**
What?
**[12:27] (Flashback) Ishigaki**
When the time comes, the one
who stops Midousuji will be...
**[12:31] Ishigaki**
*...you, Yama.*
**[12:34] Yamaguchi**
You want me to stop Midousuji?
**[12:36] Yamaguchi**
Can I do that?
**[12:39] Midousuji**
I know this guy can be trouble, too.
**[12:45] Midousuji**
After all, he took the final peak last year.
**[12:50] Midousuji**
It's been a while, Sakamichi.
**[12:54] Sakamichi**
Midousuji-kun...
**[12:57] Sakamichi**
Let me through!
**[13:00] Midousuji**
Let you through?
**[13:02] Midousuji**
Do you want to go? No matter what?
**[13:06] Midousuji**
In that case...
**[13:08] Midousuji**
Shall we work together?
**[13:11] Sakamichi**
Work together?
**[13:12] Midousuji**
You really think you'll make it to the
front when you're this far behind?
**[13:17] Midousuji**
Even if you did catch up, you'd be exhausted.
**[13:21] Midousuji**
You might not be able to accomplish anything.
**[13:25] Midousuji**
But if you and I ride together,
**[13:30] Midousuji**
we'll be half as tired.
**[13:33] Midousuji**
I know. I'll send Yamaguchi-kun, too.
**[13:39] Midousuji**
We'll have him pedal, too.
**[13:42] Midousuji**
Then we'll be one-third as tired.
**[13:45] Midousuji**
I want to go to the front. So do you.
**[13:49] Midousuji**
Our goals are aligned.
**[13:51] Midousuji**
What could be more convenient?
**[13:54] Sakamichi**
I thought he would try to stop me.
**[13:59] Midousuji**
Come on.
**[14:01] Midousuji**
We fought each other last year.
**[14:05] Midousuji**
There's no need to hold back.
I'll pull first.
**[14:09] Midousuji**
Why are you thinking? Don't think so much.
**[14:13] Midousuji**
Anyone would take the faster
train to get to their destination,
**[14:16] Midousuji**
if the express and regular
trains cost the same.
**[14:21] Midousuji**
You're supposed to say yes.
**[14:23] Midousuji**
It's simple.
**[14:26] Sakamichi**
What will happen if I go with Midousuji-kun?
**[14:28] Sakamichi**
I'll get there faster, but is that all?
**[14:31] Sakamichi**
Think, think. Um...
**[14:35] Midousuji**
Let's go together.
**[14:38] Midousuji**
Take me to the front,
**[14:40] Midousuji**
and you can fight for the mountain
result to your heart's content.
**[14:45] Midousuji**
I'll be cheering for you.
**[14:47] Midousuji**
But after that, I'll be
taking the finish line.
**[14:53] Midousuji**
Hurry up. The train's leaving.
**[14:56] Midousuji**
Beeeeep.
**[14:57] Sakamichi**
Think, think...
**[14:59] Midousuji**
Please hurry if you're boarding the train.
**[15:02] Midousuji**
Tweedle, tweedle, tweedle...
**[15:03] Sakamichi**
Think, think.
**[15:06] (Flashback) Teshima**
You'll have to decide your
own path for yourself.
**[15:10] (Flashback) Teshima**
If you're ever unsure, do this.
**[15:14] (Flashback) Teshima**
Consider all your options, and pick
the first one that comes to mind.
**[15:20] Sakamichi**
Sorry, but I'll pass.
**[15:23] Sakamichi**
I'll reach the front on my own.
**[15:25] Sakamichi**
Sorry for rejecting your offer, Midousuji-kun!
**[15:29] Yamaguchi**
He said no under these circumstances.
**[15:32] Midousuji**
Huh...
**[15:34] Midousuji**
Apparently, he's not an idiot.
**[15:36] Sakamichi**
So let me through!
**[15:38] Midousuji**
I can't do that, but if you can
break away from him, you can go.
**[15:48] Midousuji**
Yamaguchi-kun.
**[15:50] Yamaguchi**
What?
**[15:51] Midousuji**
You're up.
**[15:54] Sakamichi**
This guy...
**[15:56] Sakamichi**
I just have to break away from this guy.
**[15:58] Midousuji**
You can handle Phase 11, can't you?
**[16:02] Midousuji**
Go stop #1.
**[16:04] Yamaguchi**
What?
**[16:06] Mizuta**
You're not sending me, Midousuji-kun?
**[16:08] Midousuji**
You can do it if you throw away the
unnecessary things you're dearly holding onto.
**[16:15] Ishigaki**
*You have to be Midousuji's conscience.*
**[16:21] Sakamichi**
Princess!
**[16:22] Midousuji**
Hurry up, Yamaguchi-kun.
**[16:29] Yamaguchi**
He's fast.
**[16:33] Yamagushi**
Why am I chasing after #1 in the mountains?
**[16:37] Yamaguchi**
I'm...
**[16:38] Yamaguchi**
I'm a sprinter, Midousuji.
**[16:45] (Flashback) Ishigaki**
Be his conscience.
**[16:47] Yamaguchi**
Why does everyone always make
such unreasonable demands of me?
**[16:53] Yamaguchi**
I can't do it.
**[16:54] Yamaguchi**
I just used up all my strength.
**[16:58] Yamaguchi**
I can't stop him. I...
**[17:02] (Flashback) Ishigaki**
Are you a first-year?
**[17:04] (Flashback) Ishigaki**
Still deciding which club to join?
**[17:05] (Flashback) Yamaguchi**
Yeah. I used to play basketball,
**[17:08] (Flashback) Yamaguchi**
but I thought I'd do something
different in high school.
**[17:10] (Flashback) Ishigaki**
Why don't you try biking?
**[17:12] (Flashback) Ishigaki**
We've got a good team,
and we win regularly in Kyoto.
**[17:16] (Flashback) Yamaguchi**
I can't join a club that's too strong.
**[17:18] (Flashback) Yamaguchi**
I could never be the best, and I don't
like being the center of attention.
**[17:23] (Flashback) Ishigaki**
Bike riding is a team sport.
**[17:26] (Flashback) Ishigaki**
It's a sport of people who
work behind the scenes.
**[17:29] Yamaguchi**
*A team sport...*
**[17:32] (Flashback) Ishigaki**
That's it. Hold that position.
**[17:35] (Flashback) Yamaguchi**
Yes, sir.
**[17:36] (Flashback) Ishigaki**
Hold that position until you
make it through the corner.
**[17:39] (Flashback) Yamaguchi**
Yes, sir.
**[17:40] (Flashback) Ishigaki**
Thanks, Yama.
**[17:42] (Flashback) Ishigaki**
Thanks to you, I won.
**[17:44] (Flashback) Yamaguchi**
Yes, sir.
**[17:46] Yamaguchi**
I thought I was happy living in the shadows.
**[17:51] Yamaguchi**
Honestly, I was uncertain when I was
chosen to be on the Inter-High team.
**[17:55] Yamaguchi**
I can't handle fighting on the
front lines of the Inter-High.
**[18:11] Yamaguchi**
Wa...
**[18:13] Yamaguchi**
Wait!
**[18:21] Yamaguchi**
How did he reject Midousuji like that?
**[18:25] Yamaguchi**
He seems like a pushover. He's so small.
**[18:29] Yamaguchi**
How can he climb like that?
**[18:32] Yamaguchi**
He smells like a man of the shadows, like me.
**[18:36] Yamaguchi**
Is he not?
**[18:40] Yamaguchi**
Who waits when their opponents
tell them to wait?
**[18:45] Yamaguchi**
Onoda must be a good guy.
**[18:48] Yamaguchi**
You were right to reject Midousuji's offer.
**[18:53] Yamaguchi**
If you'd worked together with Midousuji,
Sohoku High School would've lost.
**[19:00] Sakamichi**
Really?
**[19:02] Yamaguchi**
You have good instincts.
**[19:04] Sakamichi**
Th-Thank you, um...
**[19:07] Yamaguchi**
I'm a third-year, Yama.
**[19:10] Sakamichi**
Yama-san...
**[19:12] Sakamichi**
Excuse me!
**[19:16] Yamaguchi**
What a strange guy.
**[19:18] Yamaguchi**
"He has a strange aura about him."
**[19:21] Yamaguchi**
Ishigaki-san said the same thing.
**[19:24] Yamaguchi**
An aura different from Midousuji's.
**[19:34] Kaburagi**
Onoda-san!
**[19:35] Sakamichi**
Sorry I'm late!
**[19:38] Naruko**
You idiot! How long were
you gonna make us wait?
**[19:41] Sakamichi**
Sorry.
**[19:43] Kaburagi**
You made it through that
pack? That's amazing.
**[19:46] Aoyagi**
Good work catching up. Rest in the back.
**[19:50] Sakamichi**
Um, I-I...
**[19:54] Kuroda**
Touichirou...
**[19:55] Kuroda**
Trouble caught up.
**[19:57] Yuto**
Want me to keep him in check?
**[19:59] Izumida**
No, don't bother.
**[20:01] Izumida**
There's no need to waste our energy.
**[20:05] Imaizumi**
I'm directing the team right now.
**[20:09] Imaizumi**
This is what Teshima-san told us.
**[20:12] (Flashback) Teshima**
If Onoda makes it through the
blockade and catches up to the team,
**[20:15] (Flashback) Teshima**
send him to the front if he's less
than three and a half minutes behind.
**[20:19] (Flashback) Teshima**
Onoda's strong enough to
catch up to the front.
**[20:21] (Flashback) Teshima**
But if it's more than that...
**[20:25] Imaizumi**
You can't catch up to the front.
**[20:27] Imaizumi**
It's already been four and
a half. It's been too long.
**[20:31] Sakamichi**
Imaizumi-kun...
**[20:33] Imaizumi**
No matter how hard you pedal, you may not
even catch a glimpse of Teshima-san's back.
**[20:37] Imaizumi**
It's smarter for you to rest
your legs with the team.
**[20:42] Imaizumi**
Do you still want to go?
**[20:44] Sakamichi**
Yeah.
**[20:46] Imaizumi**
Sheesh. You're unbelievable.
**[20:49] Sakamichi**
Sorry.
**[20:51] Imaizumi**
Take this.
**[20:53] Imaizumi**
When Teshima-san left, he left
one behind to lighten his load.
**[20:58] Imaizumi**
He's probably parched.
**[21:01] Naruko**
Tell him we're rooting for him.
**[21:04] Aoyagi**
Onoda...
**[21:06] Aoyagi**
Junta is fighting.
**[21:09] Aoyagi**
Take our hopes.
**[21:13] Aoyagi**
Take them to him, Sakamichi!
**[21:17] Sakamichi**
Yes, sir!
**[22:54] Kotori**
I'm going to be late.
**[22:56] Mage**
Unbelievable. You're a
second-year starting today.
**[22:59] Mage**
You haven't matured at all, Kotori-sama.
**[23:02] Kotori**
Yeah, but...
**[23:04] Kotori**
When I think about seeing
Arimaru-kun again...
**[23:11] Kotaro**
You're as defenseless as ever, Kotori.
**[23:14] Kotori**
Sheesh.
**[23:15] Kotori**
You're so mean, Kotaro-kun.
**[23:17] Kotaro**
I'll take care of you from now on.
**[23:23] Kotori**
Why is my heart pounding?
**[23:26] Song**
I've always kept (spin, spin)
**[23:28] Song**
These feelings secret (spin, spin)
**[23:31] Song**
Be my princess forever (ta-tum-tum-tum)
**[23:34] Imaizumi**
What?

**[00:03] (Flashback) Teshima**
If Onoda makes it through the
blockade and catches up to the team,
**[00:06] (Flashback) Teshima**
send him to the front if he's less
than three and a half minutes behind.
**[00:10] (Flashback) Teshima**
Onoda's strong enough to
catch up to the front.
**[00:12] (Flashback) Teshima**
But if it's more than that...
**[00:15] Imaizumi**
You can't catch up to the front.
**[00:17] Imaizumi**
It's already been four and a half.
**[00:19] Imaizumi**
No matter how hard you pedal, you may not
even catch a glimpse of Teshima-san's back.
**[00:25] Imaizumi**
Do you still want to go?
**[00:27] Sakamichi**
Yeah.
**[00:31] Aoyagi**
Take them to him, Sakamichi!
**[00:35] Sakamichi**
Yes, sir!

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

**[23:09] Aoyagi**
You're not ordinary anymore.
**[23:11] Teshima**
Aoyagi...
**[23:13] Koga**
Yeah. If you're ordinary,
what does that make me?
**[23:17] Koga**
You're a proper captain now.
**[23:20] Koga**
I'm counting on you at the Inter-High.
**[23:22] Teshima**
Kimitaka...
**[23:25] Koga**
Okay, time for dinner!
**[23:27] Aoyagi**
We'll start without you, Junta!
**[23:33] Teshima**
I really am ordinary.

**[00:15] Teshima**
Now's my chance!
**[00:19] Fan**
Sohoku High School passed him!
**[00:21] Fan**
There's 400 meters left!
**[00:25] Teshima**
Now's my chance.
**[00:26] Teshima**
I passed Manami with 400 meters left.
**[00:31] Teshima**
Why did he slow down?
**[00:33] Teshima**
No, it doesn't matter.
**[00:34] Teshima**
I should be looking forward now.
**[00:35] Teshima**
It's in front of me...
**[00:36] Teshima**
It's right in front of me!
**[00:38] Teshima**
I see the red roof of the
Akechidaira restaurant.
**[00:41] Teshima**
That's where the mountain result line is.
**[00:44] Teshima**
I'm almost there.
**[00:47] Teshima**
All my hairs are standing on end.
**[00:49] Teshima**
I have goosebumps.
**[00:51] Teshima**
Right now, I'm closest to the mountain line.
**[00:54] Teshima**
I'm about to get there first.
**[00:57] Teshima**
I've always dreamed of being first.
**[01:03] Teshima**
Is this what being first feels like?
**[01:06] Teshima**
I climbed so far. I pushed myself so hard.
**[01:09] Teshima**
But my legs feel unbelievably light.
**[01:12] Teshima**
I'll probably never forget this sight.
**[01:18] Fan 1**
Go, Sohoku High School! Keep going!
**[01:21] Fan 2**
Take the mountains, #5!
**[01:22] Fan 3**
Teshima, last spurt!
**[01:24] Teshima**
I know.
**[01:25] Fan 4**
Go!
**[01:27] Teshima**
Aoyagi, you'll probably be
surprised by the results.
**[01:32] Teshima**
Here I go, Aoyagi.
**[01:34] Fan 4**
Don't worry about him! Just go!
**[01:35] Fan 5**
Don't turn around!
**[01:37] Teshima**
Don't worry? Don't turn around?
**[01:40] Teshima**
Keep going?

**[03:18] Fan 6**
Manami got off his bike?
**[03:20] Fan 7**
What happened?
**[03:22] Fan 8**
Are you okay? I'll hold your bike.
**[03:24] Fan 9**
It's his chain. His chain came loose.
**[03:26] Fan 10**
What happens if your chain
comes off during a race?
**[03:29] Fan 11**
There's nothing you can do.
**[03:31] Fan 11**
The support car can bring you a
spare wheel if you get a flat.
**[03:35] Fan 11**
But you have to fix your chain on your own.
**[03:38] Fan 10**
But...
**[03:39] Fan 11**
An experienced rider should be able to
return to the race in less than a minute.
**[03:43] Fan 11**
But sometimes that can decide the race.
**[03:47] Fan 11**
It can be caused by the smallest thing,
and it's terrible luck.
**[03:51] Fan 10**
But I thought bicycle races
were supposed to be fair.
**[03:54] Fan 11**
Sometimes riders do wait when their
opponents have mechanical issues.
**[03:59] Fan 11**
If they notice, that is.
**[04:00] Fan 10**
You mean...
**[04:02] Fan 11**
If they don't notice or claim they didn't,
there's nothing anyone can say.
**[04:09] Fan 12**
His chain's back on!
**[04:10] Fan 13**
Go, Manami!
**[04:11] Fan 14**
Don't give up!
**[04:13] Fan 15**
Hakone Academy High School!
**[04:14] Fan 16**
You can still make it!
**[04:18] Manami**
I can still make it?
**[04:19] Manami**
I lost 15 to 20 seconds just now.
**[04:23] Manami**
I can't make that up in 400 meters.
**[04:27] Fan 10**
Will Hakone Academy High
School's rider catch up?
**[04:30] Fan 11**
No, probably not.
**[04:32] Fan 11**
They're right before the finish line.
**[04:33] Fan 11**
If I were Sohoku High School,
I wouldn't wait.
**[04:36] Manami**
Go!
**[04:52] Manami**
H-He... stopped?
**[04:56] Manami**
Teshima-san waited for me?
**[05:00] Manami**
He noticed what happened?
**[05:03] Manami**
But there's 300 meters left.
**[05:06] Manami**
He can see the mountain result line.
**[05:09] Manami**
It's his chance to win the mountain tag
for Sohoku High School.
**[05:17] Manami**
No one would've blamed him for going.
**[05:23] Manami**
Teshima-san...
**[05:30] Manami**
Why?
**[05:34] Teshima**
I know it's stupid, too.
**[05:39] Teshima**
But the view was incredible.
**[05:41] Teshima**
So I was taking a tea break.
**[05:49] Teshima**
I'll find another chance
with my own strength!
**[05:53] Manami**
I'll ride with everything I've got!
**[05:55] Teshima**
Bring in on, Manami!
**[05:59] Teshima**
Manami!
**[06:00] Manami**
Teshima-san!
**[06:02] Teshima**
Three hundred meters left!
**[06:03] Manami**
The final...
**[06:04] Both**
Battle!
**[06:06] Fan 17**
Two hundred and fifty meters left!
**[06:08] Fan 18**
So fast!
**[06:10] Fan 19**
Go, Hakone Academy High School!
**[06:12] Fan 20**
Don't let him beat you, Sohoku High School!
**[06:14] Teshima**
Fight, Junta!
**[06:16] Manami**
Go!
**[06:17] Manami**
All out!
**[06:36] Fan 21**
Neither one's giving any ground!
**[06:38] Hakogaku**

**[06:44] Teshima**
I can't feel anything.
**[06:46] Teshima**
The tingling feeling is gone, too.
**[06:50] Teshima**
This is probably bad, but I'm
moving toward my target.
**[06:57] Teshima**
Bring it on, body!
One hundred and fifty meters left!
**[07:03] Teshima**
Go! I believe!
**[07:06] Teshima**
I believe in miracles!
**[07:07] Fan 22**
They're passing through the

**[07:09] Fan 23**
There's 100 meters left to the finish line!
**[07:12] Manami**
All out...
**[07:13] Manami**
All out, all out, all out.
**[07:16] Manami**
Every moment is once in a lifetime.
**[07:19] Manami**
There's only one chance to achieve results.
**[07:21] Manami**
That's why I ride all out!
**[07:22] Fan 24**
Eighty meters left!
**[07:24] Fan 24**
They're neck and neck!
**[07:25] Manami**
Isn't that right, Toudou-san?
**[07:30] (Flashback) Manami**
What?
**[07:31] (Flashback) Manami**
You're giving #3 to me?
**[07:33] (Flashback) Toudou**
That's right. It's the number of
Hakone Academy High School's mountain ace.
**[07:37] (Flashback) Toudou**
It's yours. Wear #3 at the next Inter-High.
**[07:42] (Flashback) Manami**
But there's Kuroda-san...
**[07:45] (Flashback) Toudou**
I've talked to him.
**[07:47] (Flashback) Toudou**
He said it's not a problem.
**[07:50] (Flashback) Toudou**
Is it heavy?
**[07:52] Manami**
*#3...*
**[07:54] (Flashback) Toudou**
I guess you'll be 13, though.
**[07:59] (Flashback) Toudou**
That's an unlucky number.
**[08:01] (Flashback) Toudou**
You could flip it upside down
if you're superstitious.
**[08:06] (Flashback) Manami**
I'll wear it right side up and overcome it.
**[08:10] (Flashback) Toudou**
That sounds like you.
**[08:12] Manami**
I'll overcome!
**[08:14] Teshima**
Manami!
**[08:15] Manami**
Teshima-san!
**[08:18] Manami**
Nothing's ever easy.
**[08:22] Manami**
I wasn't expecting him to keep up with me.
**[08:25] Manami**
I didn't think he'd wait for me
when I had mechanical trouble.
**[08:29] Manami**
I thought it was over.
**[08:31] Manami**
But I'm still riding.
**[08:33] Manami**
And it's hard. That's why...
**[08:37] Manami**
I'm going all out!
**[08:39] Teshima**
Grab your dream!
**[08:42] Teshima**
Now's my chance! My only chance!
**[08:48] Manami**
I'll overcome!
**[08:49] Fan 25**
Sixty meters left!
**[08:50] Fan 26**
Fifty!
**[08:51] Fan 27**
Forty!
**[08:53] Fan 28**
Thirty!
**[08:53] Fan 29**
This is it!
**[08:55] Fan 30**
Who will it be?
**[08:55] Fan 31**
Ten meters left!
**[08:57] Teshima**
Get there...
**[08:58] Manami**
Get there...
**[08:58] Both**
My wheels!
**[09:04] Miki**
It's the announcement.
**[09:18] Miki**
Two wishes...
**[09:20] Miki**
But only one can come true.
**[09:24] Miki**
A battle between climbers is brutal.
**[09:26] Miki**
That's why the winner shines
beyond the shadow of a doubt.
**[09:33] Announce**
Hakone Academy High School's
Manami Sangaku has taken the mountains!
**[09:47] Announce**
The first day of the Inter-High
and Irohazaka has been won
**[09:50] Announce**
by Hakone Academy High School!
**[09:51] Announce**
Number 13 is the new Mountain God!
**[09:55] Announce**
Manami Sangaku! He's shouting!
**[09:59] Hakogaku A**
All right!
**[10:00] Hakogaku B**
Yeah!
**[10:02] Hakogaku C**
Manami, good job!
**[10:04] Hakogaku D**
Manami-san!
**[10:05] Hakogaku C**
We're the strongest!
**[10:07] Hakogaku E**
I've never seen Manami
shout after he's won before.
**[10:15] Manami**
I did it, Toudou-san.
**[10:19] Manami**
I overcame it.
**[10:30] Teshima**
I didn't make it.
**[10:33] Teshima**
I gave everything I had to be first.
**[10:36] Teshima**
We were tied just a few meters
before the finish line.
**[10:41] Teshima**
We were neck and neck, but he got past me.
**[10:44] Teshima**
When he'd already given everything
he had, he still had more to give.
**[10:51] Teshima**
He's amazing. He must be a prodigy.
**[10:55] Teshima**
Manami's amazing.
**[10:57] Teshima**
Hard work is useless
against someone like him.
**[11:04] Manami**
Teshima-san...
**[11:12] Manami**
Thank you.
**[11:16] Manami**
For waiting.
**[11:21] Teshima**
I told you.
**[11:23] Teshima**
I was just enjoying my tea time.
**[11:28] Teshima**
I didn't wait for you.
**[11:30] Teshima**
You don't need to thank me.
**[11:34] Teshima**
I just...
**[11:35] Teshima**
I want everyone who takes cycling seriously...
**[11:40] Teshima**
to be equal while they're riding.
**[11:44] Teshima**
That thought made me hit the brakes.
**[11:48] Teshima**
But holding onto ideals like equality
are why everyone calls me ordinary.
**[11:54] Manami**
Teshima-san!
**[11:56] Manami**
You were strong.
**[11:58] Manami**
You kept up with my attacks
countless times at the Inter-High.
**[12:03] Manami**
Normally, a person wouldn't
wait at 300 meters.
**[12:06] Manami**
They'd say it could be fixed quickly.
That it was bad luck.
**[12:11] Manami**
That I was just unlucky.
**[12:14] Manami**
Everyone wants to win.
**[12:16] Manami**
The climber's medal was
right in front of you.
**[12:19] Manami**
But you stopped.
**[12:20] Manami**
A man who does things others can't is strong.
**[12:29] Teshima**
Don't flatter me.
**[12:32] Teshima**
I'm weak.
**[12:37] Koga**
Teshima was a close second?
**[12:39] Koga**
Is it true?
**[12:40] Miki**
Yes, he was milliseconds behind.
**[12:44] Danchiku**
Isn't this amazing?
**[12:47] Aya**
See? I told you he could do it.
**[12:50] Aya**
Second blows, though.
**[12:52] Koga**
Teshima, you...
**[12:54] Toji**
Wow.
**[12:56] Danchiku**
What happened?
**[12:58] Miki**
The report doesn't say exactly.
**[13:00] Miki**
But it says #13 had mechanical problems.
**[13:03] Koga**
Manami did?
**[13:05] Danchiku**
Is that when he caught up?
**[13:07] Danchiku**
Had he fallen behind?
**[13:09] Sugimoto**
I don't think so, Danchiku.
**[13:12] Danchiku**
What?
**[13:13] Sugimoto**
I don't know how the mechanical
issues affected the race,
**[13:17] Sugimoto**
but I think Teshima-san worked hard
to stick to Manami the whole time.

He's the man who makes it happen.

Well done, Manami.
**[13:45] Izumida**
No, perhaps I should be
praising the other man instead.
**[13:48] Izumida**
I'm impressed Teshima-kun was able
to keep up with his ordinary riding.
**[13:54] Izumida**
Manami seems to have enjoyed himself.
**[13:56] Izumida**
But that doesn't change the results.
**[13:59] Izumida**
Too bad, Sohoku High School.

Teshima-san, I'm sorry for making fun of you.
**[14:21] Kaburagi**
I wish I could go right now

**[14:25] Aoyagi**
You'd better not.
**[14:28] Naruko**
So the permed one did it.
**[14:31] Naruko**
Our leader is...
**[14:32] Imaizumi**
Yeah. A hard worker who
does what he says he'll do.
**[14:36] Imaizumi**
He's Teshima Junta.

Watch out!

#5 is falling!

Teshima-san?
**[14:49] Teshima**
I can finally lie down.
**[14:52] Teshima**
I seriously gave everything.
**[14:55] Teshima**
I probably won't be able to
get up again if I lie down now.
**[14:59] Teshima**
Sorry, Imaizumi and Naruko.
**[15:04] Teshima**
The rest is up to you, Aoyagi.

But sorry, I can't move anymore.

It's #1!
**[15:53] Sakamichi**
I pedaled as hard as I could when I saw you.
**[15:53] Fan C**
Sohoku High School's #1 came!
**[15:56] Sakamichi**
I'm glad I made it.
**[15:58] Teshima**
What are you doing here?
**[16:03] Sakamichi**
I got your message.
**[16:06] Sakamichi**
Imaizumi-kun gave me permission
to come support you.
**[16:14] Sakamichi**
And...
**[16:18] Sakamichi**
To give you these water bottles.
**[16:21] Sakamichi**
They thought you'd be parched.
**[16:23] Sakamichi**
They're from Imaizumi-kun and Naruko-kun.
**[16:26] Teshima**
I'm standing.
**[16:29] Teshima**
Does that mean I can keep going?
**[16:33] Teshima**
A team that supports each other...
**[16:35] Teshima**
Yes, that's the kind of team
Sohoku High School is.
**[16:40] Teshima**
Support, huh?
**[16:47] Teshima**
Thanks for the help, Onoda.
**[16:55] Teshima**
Let's ride a little longer.
**[16:57] Sakamichi**
Yes, sir.
**[17:09] Komari**
Hakone Academy High School
took the mountains.
**[17:12] Komari**
Sohoku High School came in second and third.
**[17:16] Midousuji**
So you caught up, Sakamichi.
**[17:20] Komari**
The guys in front of us are
probably increasing their pace.
**[17:26] Midousuji**
In that case, shall we
go as well, Komari-kun?
**[17:30] Komari**
Yes.
**[17:32] Fan 35**
Hakone Academy High School
just took the mountains.
**[17:35] Fan 36**
Hakone Academy High School's so strong.

It's Hakone Academy High School!
**[17:43] Fan 35**
They've increased their pace!
**[17:45] Fan 36**
Sohoku High School's keeping up!
**[17:48] Izumida**
Doubashi took the flats.
Manami took the mountains.
**[17:53] Izumida**
All that's left is the finish line.
**[17:58] Yuto**
Should we go a little faster?
**[18:01] Izumida**
Not too fast, Yuto.
**[18:03] Izumida**
All we have to do now is strike fear
in the hearts of Sohoku High School.
**[18:06] Kuroda**
There's still more than ten
kilometers to the finish line.
**[18:09] Yuto**
Roger that.
**[18:14] Imaizumi**
I see. They're fast, but...
**[18:18] Imaizumi**
Not too fast.
**[18:20] Naruko**
Just so-so.
**[18:22] Kaburagi**
They're trying to pull ahead
of us, but they can't.
**[18:27] Aoyagi**
Yeah.
**[18:28] Imaizumi**
Onoda overcame a hopeless time
difference and caught up to the front.
**[18:33] Imaizumi**
And most importantly...
**[18:35] Imaizumi**
He received Teshima-san's
passionate vibrations.
**[18:38] Imaizumi**
We never give up.
**[18:41] Imaizumi**
Let's go, Sohoku High School!
**[18:43] All**
Yeah!
**[18:52] Naruko**
The first day of the Inter-High...

Anyway, they've got directions, announcements,

started to inspire Sakamichi,
**[21:57] Makishima**
but my flight was six hours late.
**[22:00] Kinjou**
We waited a long time for you.
**[22:03] Makishima**
What?
**[22:08] Kinjou**
Makishima, how have you been?
**[22:10] Makishima**
K-Kinjou!
**[22:13] Makishima**
Calm down, Yusuke.
**[22:15] Makishima**
Kinjou couldn't possibly be here.
**[22:18] Makishima**
I'm just hallucinating
because of the jet lag.
**[22:20] Kinjou**
How's life in England?
**[22:21] Makishima**
Huh?
**[22:23] Kinjou**
It's been a while.
**[22:24] Makishima**
It's really him.
**[22:26] Makishima**
Kinjou!
**[22:28] Kinjou**
Makishima.
**[22:29] Makishima**
What are you doing here?
**[22:31] Kinjou**
When I called your house,
they told me you were coming back.
**[22:35] Kinjou**
You're going to the Inter-High, right?
**[22:37] Makishima**
Huh?
**[22:38] Kinjou**
Let's hurry. The race has already started.
**[22:41] Makishima**
You've been waiting for six hours.
**[22:44] Makishima**
You could've gone without me.
**[22:46] Kinjou**
Someone said we have to
wait for anyone who's late.
**[22:54] Tadokoro**
Hey. How long were you going
to make us wait, Makishima?
**[22:57] Makishima**
T-Tadokorocchi...
**[22:59] Tadokoro**
We can talk later. Get in.
**[23:01] Makishima**
Sure.
**[23:06] Makishima**
Will we make it in time for the race?
**[23:07] Tadokoro**
Who do you think you're talking to?
**[23:09] Tadokoro**
I'm Sohoku High School's human
bullet train, Tadokoro Jin.
**[23:19] Tadokoro**

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

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

**[18:10] Kuroda**
I don't resent you anymore.
**[18:12] Kuroda**
It was more than a year ago.
**[18:15] Kuroda**
I'm at the Inter-High.
**[18:17] Kuroda**
From the bottom of my heart...
**[18:21] Kuroda**
Good job, Manami!
**[18:23] Fan S**
Hakone's Kuroda is moving to the front!
**[18:26] Ashikiba**
We were watching your final moments.
**[18:28] Manami**
Thanks.
**[18:31] Kuroda**
Huh?
**[18:31] Kuroda**
You weren't watching!
**[18:34] Kuroda**
You were in the back!
**[18:36] Ashikiba**
I was just trying to say something
appropriate for a senior.
**[18:39] Kuroda**
Don't lie about it.
**[18:41] Kuroda**
Since you're so tall, it almost sounded true.
**[18:43] Ashikiba**
Not even I could see over the team.
**[18:45] Kuroda**
Knock off the "ha ha ha"!
**[18:47] Ashikiba**
What?
**[18:58] Sakamichi**
Keep going, Naruko-kun!
**[19:00] Sakamichi**
I'll take Teshima-san to the finish line!
**[19:02] Naruko**
I was already planning on it.
**[19:04] Naruko**
Anyway, you made it, Onoda-kun.
**[19:08] Sakamichi**
Yeah.
**[19:09] Naruko**
Good job!
**[19:11] Imaizumi**
Teshima-san!
**[19:18] Teshima**
Hey, Ima...
**[19:21] Both**
Good work!
**[19:27] Imaizumi**
Teshima-san was exhausted.
**[19:30] Naruko**
Yeah.
**[19:31] Naruko**
Exhausted like a man
who's fought really hard.
**[19:34] Imaizumi**
Naruko, I thought we were going to catch up.
**[19:38] Imaizumi**
Hakone Academy's pulling away.
**[19:41] Imaizumi**
What are you doing?
**[19:42] Naruko**
Shut up, idiot!
**[19:43] Naruko**
It's more exciting if it's close!
I'm doing it on purpose!
**[19:46] Naruko**
I let my guard down a bit on the last turn.
**[19:49] Naruko**
I was 0.5 seconds slow to react.
**[19:51] Imaizumi**
Yeah, because you were talking.
**[19:53] Naruko**
You were talking, too.
**[19:56] Naruko**
You just watch, hotshot.
**[19:58] Naruko**
*Naruko the Movie* is nothing if not flashy.
**[20:01] Naruko**
How could I not be fired up after
the way Teshima-san showed off?
**[20:05] Naruko**
You don't need to pay admission, Teshima-san.
**[20:08] Naruko**
I'll have my own fun.
**[20:10] Naruko**
You just watch from your box seat!
**[20:19] Naruko**
Wait up, Hakone Academy!
**[20:23] Kuroda**
They caught up?
**[20:25] Kuroda**
Now, just as we've moved to the front?
**[20:27] Kuroda**
But he doesn't stand a chance
against my Cat Leg muscles.
**[20:34] Kuroda**
Let's see who this year's
champions are, Sohoku.
**[20:48] Komari**
Muscles?
**[20:55] Komari**
Did someone say "muscles"?

Has he forgotten about cleaning?
**[22:47] Kuroda**
He's never done it.
Not even when he was a first-year!
**[22:51] Kuroda**
Arakita-san and Toudou-san
are too easy on him.

We must correct his behavior

Good morning.

**[00:01] Kuroda**
Sohoku.
**[00:02] Kuroda**
You made it. I'm impressed.
**[00:05] Kuroda**
No wonder you two brought so much
excitement to last year's Inter-High.
**[00:08] Both**
No way.
**[00:09] Imaizumi**
I caused way more excitement
than him, honestly.
**[00:09] Naruko**
I caused way more excitement
than him, definitely.
**[00:14] Imaizumi**
Could you not group us together?
**[00:16] Naruko**
Don't put me in the same category as him.
**[00:18] Kuroda**
That's not my problem!
**[00:20] Kuroda**
And why wouldn't I group you together?
**[00:21] Ashikiba**
Yuki-chan's always so quick to snap back.
**[00:24] Naruko**
I really stood out and was super
popular at last year's Inter-High.
**[00:28] Imaizumi**
You idiot, I enjoyed way
more quiet popularity.
**[00:31] Naruko**
Your fans scream all the time.
**[00:33] Imaizumi**
Your fans are all guys.
**[00:36] Naruko**
Th-That's got nothing to do with this, moron!
**[00:38] Kuroda**
Did you come all the way here to brag
about yourselves to each other?
**[00:42] Kuroda**
You seem awfully composed.
**[00:43] Kuroda**
Is this a strategy? Or a falling out?
**[00:46] Kuroda**
No, it doesn't matter.
**[00:48] Kuroda**
Road racing is a team battle!
**[00:52] Imaizumi**
Hakone Academy's making their move!
**[00:53] Naruko**
I can see that, idiot!
**[00:55] Imaizumi**
And we're on a climb.
**[00:57] Imaizumi**
Kuroda-san may have changed roles,
but he's a former climber.
**[01:00] Imaizumi**
His climbing is top-class!
***SIGN*** Hakone Academy
**[01:03] Fan A**
It's Kuroda the Climber!
**[01:05] Fan A**
He always attacks on the
climb to finish a race!
**[01:08] Fan B**
He's so fast!
**[01:09] Kuroda**
Come on! Come if you can, Sohoku!
**[01:13] Kuroda**
I'll tear you to pieces here!
**[01:15] Kuroda**
I know about you, redheaded Naruko.
**[01:19] Kuroda**
The man pulling now is a former sprinter.
**[01:23] Naruko**
He's attacking on the climb!
**[01:25] Naruko**
Is Squinty for real?
**[01:28] Fan C**
Naruko's pulling for Sohoku!
***SIGN*** Spirit
**[01:30] Fan C**
I watched him last year, but he's a sprinter!
**[01:34] Fan D**
They can't catch up!
**[01:35] Fan D**
They'll get left behind!
**[01:38] Fan C**
Huh?
***SIGN*** Spirit
**[01:40] Fan D**
He's smiling?
**[01:41] Naruko**
You're attacking on the climb?
**[01:43] Naruko**
Now that's delicious.
**[01:47] Naruko**
You know what my favorite foods are?
**[01:49] Naruko**
Okonomiyaki, beef tendon hotpot,
and finally...
**[01:53] Naruko**
The faces of people I've amazed!
**[01:59] Naruko**
Naruko's Special Internally-Developed
Armstrong Climb, Version Two!
**[02:05] Fan E**
He's racing up the slope so quickly,
while swinging his handlebars side to side!
**[02:09] Fan F**
Sohoku's Naruko is so flashy!
**[02:12] Fan F**
So flashy!

***SIGN*** LINE.02 The Two Aces!!
**[03:49] Naruko**
It's no use.
**[03:50] (Flashback) Naruko**
The Armstrong Climb that
converts my arm strength
**[03:52] (Flashback) Naruko**
into forward propulsion
is approaching its limits.
**[03:55] (Flashback) Naruko**
My time won't improve.
**[04:04] (Flashback) Naruko**
It lacks impact.
**[04:06] (Flashback) Naruko**
Isn't there anything else
I can use to power up further?
**[04:10] (Flashback) Naruko**
I'm using my arms,
and naturally, I'm using my legs.
**[04:14] (Flashback) Naruko**
If I'm going to do something,
I want something flashy.
**[04:17] (Flashback) Naruko**
Something unthinkable that
will really surprise people.
**[04:27] (Flashback) Naruko**
Come to think of it,
**[04:29] (Flashback) Naruko**
my master said not to box myself in
when trying to change something.
**[04:35] (Flashback) Naruko**
To question common sense.
**[04:37] Naruko**
*"Naturally, I'm using my legs."*
**[04:40] Naruko**
*Naturally?*
**[04:41] Naruko**
*Wait.*
**[04:42] Naruko**
* I think I'm using them, but maybe there's*
* some part I'm still not utilizing.*
**[04:51] (Flashback) Naruko**
Oh, crap! I think I've found it!
**[04:55] (Flashback) Naruko**
I really am...
**[04:56] (Flashback) Naruko**
a genius!
**[05:00] Naruko**
Version Two uses the tips of my toes!
**[05:03] Naruko**
They may only be toes, but those
toes will challenge common sense!
**[05:10] Naruko**
When turning the crank on a bike and turning
that force into forward propulsion,
***SIGN*** Forward Thrust
**[05:14] Naruko**
the effective area is
the first quadrant only.
**[05:17] Naruko**
The rest is converted
into downward propulsion,
***SIGN*** Downward Thrust
**[05:19] Naruko**
so it's inefficient to put
too much strength into it.
**[05:22] Naruko**
The first part of your body to reach that
precious zone is the tips of your toes.
**[05:27] Naruko**
So I strengthened my toes.
**[05:30] Naruko**
That's how I amplified my power!
**[05:32] Naruko**
So I could turn my pedals even harder!
**[05:36] Naruko**
I raise my toes which would normally
be pointed down and push!
**[05:40] Naruko**
I turn all that power into forward
propulsion without losing any of it!
**[05:43] Naruko**
Thanks for challenging us on the climb.
**[05:47] Naruko**
You wouldn't want to miss Armstrong Climb,
Version Two: Tip-Toe Advance!
**[05:54] Kuroda**
This guy...
**[05:55] Fan G**
Sohoku's Naruko caught up!
**[05:58] Fan H**
On the climb!
**[05:59] Fan I**
Seriously? He's so fast!
**[06:03] Fan G**
That's it, Naruko!
**[06:04] Fan H**
You're so flashy!
**[06:06] Naruko**
What do you think?
**[06:07] Naruko**
I've also got something called
the Flashy Smug Climb, too.
**[06:10] Naruko**
Should we try it out?
**[06:12] Kuroda**
Let's not.
**[06:14] Kuroda**
I get it now.
**[06:17] Kuroda**
I see.
**[06:18] Kuroda**
So they weren't having a falling out.
**[06:21] Kuroda**
I'll have to flip my switch to finish this.
**[06:26] Kuroda**
To destroy their teamwork.
**[06:29] Kuroda**
I have one last question.
**[06:32] Kuroda**
Sohoku, which of you two is the ace?
**[06:38] Ashikiba**
Yuki-chan, isn't it obvious?
The guy behind—
**[06:43] Naruko**
Curious, are you?
**[06:44] Imaizumi**
Isn't it obvious?
**[06:45] Naruko**
I wish I could say it's our secret strategy,
but I'll do you a favor and tell you.
**[06:50] Naruko**
The ace is...
**[06:52] Both**
...me!
**[06:55] Naruko**
What? Hotshot, what are you talking about?
**[06:58] Imaizumi**
What—Naruko! Are you serious?
**[07:00] Naruko**
Of course.
**[07:01] Naruko**
I, the Red Bullet and genius
Naruko Shoukichi, am Sohoku's ace.
**[07:05] Imaizumi**
Calm down, Naruko. I'm the ace.
**[07:08] Imaizumi**
Teshima-san said the same thing.
**[07:11] Naruko**
He was just saying that so you
wouldn't strain yourself. Probably.
**[07:15] Imaizumi**
No! I'm the ace!
**[07:17] Naruko**
Have you forgotten?
**[07:18] Naruko**
I'm the one who won the training camp!
**[07:20] Naruko**
I'm clearly better than you!
**[07:23] Imaizumi**
It was... close.
**[07:24] Naruko**
Close, but I won!
**[07:26] Kuroda**
That's it.
**[07:27] Kuroda**
These two are a hastily thrown together team.
**[07:31] Imaizumi**
Wait! I thought you were pulling
so I could save my strength!
**[07:36] Imaizumi**
Normally the man in front is the assistant!
**[07:38] Naruko**
You idiot!
**[07:39] Naruko**
I'm just doing it to stand out!
**[07:41] Naruko**
You'll pull for me before the finish line!
**[07:43] Imaizumi**
What?
**[07:43] Naruko**
What's your deal, anyway?
**[07:45] Naruko**
When I charged ahead...
**[07:47] (Flashback) Imaizumi**
That's why we've prepared our fastest man!
**[07:50] Naruko**
Isn't that what you said?
**[07:52] Naruko**
You didn't prepare me for anything!
**[07:54] Imaizumi**
I did!
**[07:55] Imaizumi**
I was thinking about the team's strength!
**[07:59] Imaizumi**
I did that so you could be the assistant!
**[08:02] Naruko**
Why do I have to assist you?
**[08:05] Imaizumi**
In any case, calm down.
**[08:06] Imaizumi**
I'm the ace.
**[08:08] Naruko**
No, me!
**[08:09] Imaizumi**
I'm the one who told you to
switch from sprinter to all-rounder!
**[08:12] Naruko**
I made the decision!
**[08:16] Kuroda**
There are always aces and assistants
who hastily team up during a race.
**[08:22] Kuroda**
And they almost always break apart.
**[08:28] Naruko**
Wait up, idiot!
**[08:30] Imaizumi**
Wait, Hakone Academy!
**[08:31] Naruko**
Don't run!
**[08:32] Imaizumi**
Where do you think you're going?
**[08:34] Kuroda**
They reacted. Both of them, together.
**[08:37] Naruko**
Let's race, hotshot.
**[08:39] Imaizumi**
What?
**[08:40] Naruko**
We'll pull ahead of
Hakone Academy before the finish line.
**[08:43] Imaizumi**
I see.
**[08:44] Naruko**
Whoever crosses the
finish line first is the ace!
**[08:47] Kuroda**
What? Are they...
**[08:49] Imaizumi**
Bring it on!
**[08:52] Ashikiba**
Yuki-chan!
**[08:53] Kuroda**
I know!
**[08:55] Kuroda**
Let's go, Ashikiba! We're accelerating!
**[08:57] Ashikiba**
Yeah!
**[08:58] Kuroda**
They're ignoring us so
the two of them can race?
**[09:02] Kuroda**
Don't underestimate us, Sohoku!
**[09:06] Imaizumi**
Teshima-san is on my side.
**[09:09] Imaizumi**
He thinks of me as the ace.
**[09:11] Naruko**
You idiot.
**[09:11] Naruko**
Every era's always looking for a new star.
**[09:14] Kuroda**
They're actually arguing with each other!
**[09:17] Imaizumi**
Keep your voice down, Naruko.
**[09:19] Imaizumi**
Our opponents will realize we've
never worked together before.
**[09:22] Naruko**
What?
**[09:23] Naruko**
Okay, then let's pretend we're friends.
**[09:26] Imaizumi**
I can't do that.
**[09:27] Naruko**
Hey!
**[09:28] Kuroda**
Teamwork is what's important
before the finish line.
**[09:32] Kuroda**
It's easy to break apart opponents who lack that.
**[09:36] Kuroda**
Ashikiba!
**[09:38] Ashikiba**
Yeah!
**[09:42] Naruko**
He's huge!
**[09:43] Imaizumi**
It's Hakone Academy's Ashikiba!
**[09:44] Imaizumi**
Is their ace making his move?
**[09:48] Imaizumi**
No!
**[09:49] Naruko**
It's him!
**[09:50] Naruko**
He distracted us with the big guy,
disappeared to the other side,
**[09:53] Naruko**
and pulled ahead!
**[09:56] Naruko**
Crap! He's getting ahead, too!
**[09:59] Naruko**
They took the lead in a second!
**[10:01] Kuroda**
Things are back to normal now, Sohoku.
**[10:04] Naruko**
Seriously?
**[10:05] Kuroda**
That move is made possible by Ashikiba's
fake-out and my explosive power.
**[10:10] Kuroda**
Ashikiba's big. Everyone's
eyes are drawn to him.
**[10:14] Kuroda**
It's a combo only we can pull off.
**[10:17] Kuroda**
Since this spring,
we've been eight for eight.
**[10:19] Kuroda**
We've achieved more!
**[10:22] Imaizumi**
How could you let them pass you, Naruko?
**[10:23] Imaizumi**
Don't underestimate them.
**[10:24] Naruko**
Well, you were just watching.
**[10:27] Imaizumi**
You were!
**[10:28] Naruko**
No, you!
**[10:29] Kuroda**
It's easy to break apart a
hastily thrown together team.
**[10:32] Kuroda**
Just force them into a corner.
**[10:34] Kuroda**
Then they'll blame each
other for their mistakes.
**[10:38] Kuroda**
Looks like I won't have to flip my switch.
**[10:41] Kuroda**
You can race for third
to decide who's the ace!
**[10:43] Kuroda**
Your nonsense won't get you anywhere!
**[10:46] Naruko**
They're getting ahead again.
**[10:48] Imaizumi**
Kuroda-san's explosive power is exceptional.
**[10:56] Teshima**
Who... will take it?
**[10:59] Sakamichi**
You mean take the lead?
**[11:01] Sakamichi**
It's either us or Hakone Academy, right?
**[11:03] Sakamichi**
I'm sure we'll do it.
**[11:06] Teshima**
No, Naruko or Imaizumi...
**[11:09] Teshima**
Which of them will take the race.
**[11:10] Sakamichi**
Huh?
**[11:12] Teshima**
I told them to decide between
themselves who the ace is.
**[11:18] Sakamichi**
What?
**[11:19] Sakamichi**
Huh? What?
**[11:20] Teshima**
Do you think that was an
irresponsible order, Onoda?
**[11:23] Sakamichi**
Huh?
**[11:25] Teshima**
But last year, that's how you
dragged Sohoku into first place.
**[11:37] Teshima**
I believe in their strength.
**[11:41] Teshima**
They don't get along. They're always arguing.
They never cooperate.
**[11:46] Teshima**
But...
**[11:48] Sakamichi**
Yes.
**[11:49] Teshima**
They know better than anyone
what they have to do.
**[11:55] Imaizumi**
Hurry up and pull, Naruko!
**[11:56] Imaizumi**
Hakone Academy's getting away!
**[11:58] Naruko**
Shut up, idiot!
**[11:59] Naruko**
I'm just taking my time since
I've got some baggage to carry.
**[12:02] Imaizumi**
What? What baggage?
**[12:04] Naruko**
You pulled like crazy through the mountains.
**[12:09] Naruko**
Even for you, hotshot,
you pushed yourself too hard.
**[12:11] Imaizumi**
Don't mention it.
**[12:12] Naruko**
I said I'd switch with you,
but you told me to fall back.
**[12:16] Naruko**
Man, I hate when people show off.
**[12:20] Naruko**
So now I'm pulling for you.
**[12:22] Naruko**
And while I'm being considerate by pulling
for you, you're reacting poorly!
**[12:27] Naruko**
When I broke out my special Tip-Toe Advance,
you just sat there and stared.
**[12:31] Naruko**
Don't you have anything to say?
Like, "Wow," or, "Amazing?"
**[12:39] Naruko**
"This is what you've been hiding?"
**[12:41] Naruko**
"Seriously? This is so amazing,
I pooped my pants!"
**[12:44] Naruko**
Surely you can react better than that.
**[12:46] Imaizumi**
Oh, that?
**[12:49] Imaizumi**
I thought it was only natural,
so I wasn't surprised.
**[12:53] Naruko**
Huh?
**[12:55] Imaizumi**
I knew you'd have something special
prepared for the Inter-High.
**[13:05] Naruko**
You're not so dumb, hotshot!
**[13:10] Naruko**
Fine, let's chase them.
**[13:12] Naruko**
I don't like that we're doing it together,
but there's only ever one thing to do.
**[13:17] Imaizumi**
Yeah.
**[13:18] Naruko**
Deliver this jersey to the finish line first.
**[13:21] Imaizumi**
Of course.
**[13:22] Naruko**
We'll catch up to
Hakone Academy and pass them!
**[13:25] Imaizumi**
You don't need to say it!
**[13:29] Teshima**
If we can draw out everything they have—
no, we have to to beat the champions.
**[13:36] Teshima**
And this Inter-High has been
disrupting expectations.
**[13:39] Teshima**
There may be more than one
opponent at the finish line.
***SIGN*** Feed Zone
**[13:48] Fan J**
What is that?
**[13:49] Fan K**
They're carrying water bottles!
**[13:51] Koga**
Excuse us!
**[13:52] Sugimoto**
Coming through!
**[13:53] Koga**
Hurry, Sugimoto!
**[13:54] Koga**
They're almost here!
**[13:55] Sugimoto**
Yes, sir!
**[14:00] Koga**
We made it.
**[14:02] Koga**
Imaizumi!
**[14:03] Sugimoto**
Naruko!
**[14:04] Both**
We'll just take the water!
**[14:10] Koga**
Imaizumi, Naruko!
**[14:12] Sugimoto**
Go, Sohoku!
**[14:12] Koga**
You can do it!
**[14:13] Sugimoto**
Imaizumi!
**[14:16] Imaizumi**
You don't need to shout so loud, Sugimoto.
**[14:19] Imaizumi**
I can hear you. Don't worry.
**[14:24] Imaizumi**
The finish line...
**[14:25] Naruko**
...will be...
**[14:26] Both**
...mine!
**[14:32] Sugimoto**
Imaizumi...
**[14:34] Sugimoto**
The finish line is less
than ten kilometers away.
**[14:37] Sugimoto**
It's right there.
**[14:39] Sugimoto**
If my feelings can help you in any way,
then I'll pray as hard as I can.
**[14:44] Sugimoto**
Take it. I'm counting on you, Imaizumi.
**[14:47] Koga**
Let's head back to the tent, Sugimoto.
**[14:51] Sugimoto**
Yes, Koga-san.
**[14:53] Koga**
The rest should be coming soon.
**[14:55] Koga**
Kaburagi and the others will have met up
with Onoda and Teshima by now.
**[14:59] Koga**
It'll be hard for the two of us to
hand out supplies for four riders.
**[15:02] Sugimoto**
I see. You're right.
**[15:05] Suigmoto**
But I'm glad we made it
to the feed zone in time.
**[15:09] Koga**
Yeah.
**[15:10] Sugimoto**
We carried everyone's supplies
here on the spare bikes.
**[15:14] Sugimoto**
It was hard, but...
**[15:18] Sugimoto**
I know it wasn't the official course,
but I'm glad to have ridden at the Inter-High.
**[15:24] Sugimoto**
I rode as hard as I could.
**[15:25] Sugimoto**
All I could think about was getting
here in time, but now I'm numb.
**[15:31] Sugimoto**
It's exciting, isn't it?
**[15:33] Sugimoto**
Next year, I'll work harder
so I can be in the Inter-High—
**[15:38] Sugimoto**
Koga-san is a third-year.
**[15:40] Sugimoto**
This is his last Inter-High.
**[15:44] Sugimoto**
I'm sorry.
**[15:45] Koga**
Don't worry about it, Sugimoto.
**[15:47] Koga**
Will you be in next year's Inter-High?
**[15:50] Koga**
Then you'll have to practice hard.
**[15:53] Koga**
Remember how the Inter-High feels.
**[15:57] Koga**
But we have work to do first.
**[16:00] Koga**
Let's hand out supplies to—
**[16:03] Sugimoto**
What? Support staff are on the course?
**[16:06] Sugimoto**
Huh? Kyoto?
**[16:07] Sugimoto**
But why?
**[16:09] Koga**
Did they get them mixed up
with Hakone Academy?
**[16:11] Koga**
You were in the same position as Sohoku.
**[16:15] Hakone**
You didn't hear the correction on the radio?
**[16:19] Hakone**
They shook off the others.
**[16:22] Hakone**
I hate to think we were outmatched.
**[16:25] Hakone**
And even if they've gone, there's no
guarantee they'll make it to the front.
**[16:28] Hakone**
But it's true that they're pursuing them.
**[16:31] Hakone**
I trust our riders...
**[16:33] Hakone**
But they say Kyoto's Midousuji
was tricky last year, too.
**[16:38] Sugimoto**
B-By himself?
**[16:40] Hakone**
This year there's two of
them chasing the leaders!
**[16:45] Hakone**
Kyoto Fushimi #111, the ace, Midousuji Akira!
**[16:50] Hakone**
And #116, first-year Kishigami Komari!
**[16:53] Koga**
Him!
**[16:59] Koga**
Their roster said he was a sub.
**[17:01] Koga**
Rumor was he was a masseuse.
**[17:04] Koga**
He races?
**[17:09] Komari**
You're really not riding in the Inter-High.
**[17:12] Komari**
But you had such fine muscles!
**[17:17] Kyoto A**
Go, Fushimi!
**[17:19] Kyoto B**
Pedal, Kishigami!
**[17:21] Koga**
What was that?
**[17:23] Koga**
Those weren't the eyes of
a man aiming for victory.
**[17:26] Koga**
No, they didn't go for the
sprint or mountains, either.
**[17:29] Koga**
Has Kyoto Fushimi set their sights
on only the finish line again?
**[17:34] Koga**
Be careful, Imaizumi and Naruko.
**[17:36] Koga**
They intend to catch up.
**[17:39] (Flashback) Midousuji**
Would you like to move up, Komari-kun?
**[17:41] (Flashback) Komari**
Yes, of course.
**[17:43] (Flashback) Komari**
I'll pull. I want to reach the
front as soon as possible.
**[17:46] (Flashback) Komari**
There are so many fine muscles
at the front, right?
**[17:51] (Flashback) Komari**
Oh, the muscles. The muscles...
**[17:56] Midousuji**
* Komari-kun, you really*
* are a man of no patience.*
**[18:07] Izumida**
*It took only a moment.*
**[18:09] Izumida**
* They were waiting for the momentary loss*
* of focus when we prepared to resupply.*
**[18:17] Izumida**
*I was cautious.*
**[18:19] Izumida**
* I knew Kyoto would go for the*
* finish line again this year.*
**[18:23] Izumida**
* I knew they'd make their*
* move before the feed zone.*
**[18:26] Izumida**
*But...*
**[18:28] (Flashback) Izumida**
They passed us! Doubashi!
**[18:30] (Flashback) Aoyagi**
Kaburagi, go!
**[18:32] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
They passed right between us!
**[18:35] (Flashback) Both**
Stop Kyoto!
**[18:43] (Flashback) Midousuji**
See?
**[18:46] (Flashback) Midousuji**
Because you wasted all your
energy on a stupid sprint,
**[18:50] (Flashback) Midousuji**
you got caught during a crucial moment!
**[18:55] (Flashback) Kaburagi**
Damn!
**[18:57] (Flashback) Kaburagi**
Damn!
**[19:01] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
They're going for the finish line.
**[19:06] Sakamichi**
*Be careful, Imaizumi-kun and Naruko-kun.*
**[19:10] Naruko**
We're starting to catch up to Hakone Academy!
**[19:14] Naruko**
It's only 4,500 meters to the finish line!
**[19:20] Naruko**
Final stop coming up.
**[19:22] Naruko**
The Naruko Super Express is heading
straight to the finish line.
**[19:25] Imaizumi**
Good. I'm taking this train.
**[19:27] Naruko**
You can't ride for free, idiot.
**[19:29] Naruko**
It'll cost you ten billion yen.
**[19:31] Iamziumi**
That's cheap. Do you accept cash?
**[19:33] Naruko**
Ugh, gross. That's what rich people say.
**[19:36] Imaizumi**
I was joking.
**[19:37] Naruko**
You're such a hotshot,
I didn't think you were joking!
**[19:40] Naruko**
I bet you don't have any friends!
**[19:42] Imaizumi**
There's Onoda, and...
**[19:44] Naruko**
You really don't have any friends!
**[19:46] Naruko**
Want me to be your friend?
**[19:48] Naruko**
A special, just for you.
**[19:49] Imaizumi**
No, I'm good.
**[19:50] Imaizumi**
I call anyone whose house
I've been to a friend.
**[19:53] Naruko**
Seriously? Those are kid rules!
**[19:56] Imaizumi**
Call it whatever you want.
**[19:57] Imaizumi**
Down to the smallest things,
I determine my own standards!
**[20:04] Naruko**
Hotshot.
**[20:07] Fan L**
The ace Imaizumi moved ahead
with 4000 meters remaining!
**[20:10] Imaizumi**
We're accelerating!
**[20:12] Imaizumi**
Try not to fall behind, Naruko!
**[20:14] Naruko**
Who do you think you're talking to?
**[20:17] Naruko**
I'm the genius all-rounder, Naruko Shoukichi!
**[20:21] Kuroda**
These guys...
**[20:23] Kuroda**
Imaizumi moved ahead and is accelerating?
**[20:26] Kuroda**
Don't they know about
saving the ace's strength?
**[20:28] Kuroda**
They're total amateurs!
**[20:29] (Flashback) Both**
I'm the ace!
**[20:32] Kuroda**
Do they not care who wins since
they haven't chosen an ace?
**[20:36] Kuroda**
Fools. You're complete fools.
**[20:39] Ashikiba**
Yuki-chan.
**[20:41] Kuroda**
You have no idea what position you're in.
**[20:45] Kuroda**
I'll show you.
**[20:47] Kuroda**
I'll make you understand.
**[20:49] Kuroda**
How dare they underestimate us.
**[20:51] Kuroda**
I'll flip my switch.
**[20:54] Kuroda**
You think you can beat us
with your desperate strategy?
**[21:00] Komari**
Two times one is two.

Two times two is four.

Two times three is six.

Two times four is eight.

Two times six is 12.
**[21:11] Komari**
Two times seven is 14.
**[21:13] Komari**
Two times eight is 16.
**[21:15] Komari**
Two times nine is 18.

Mi...

Such incredible pressure!

He looks unbelievably huge!
**[21:33] Midousuji**
We caught up!
***SIGN*** Sendoff Race Strategy Meeting
**[23:08] (Flashback) Kuroda**
Arakita-san should make his move right away.

Then Ashikiba and I can...
**[23:14] (Flashback) Izumida**
I see. You'll take the lead
before the finish line, and—
**[23:19] (Flashback) Izumida**
Oh, sorry.
**[23:25] (Flashback) Izumida**
C-Continue.
**[23:27] (Flashback) Kuroda**
Touichirou, if you've got
something to say, spit it out.

A mushroom?
**[23:34] (Flashback) Kuroda**
It's me!

**[02:28] Imaizumi**
There are 3.5 kilometers to
the first day's finish line.
**[02:32] Imaizumi**
And he caught up now?
**[02:36] Kuroda**
Seriously?
**[02:37] Ashikiba**
Whoa!
**[02:38] Midousuji**
I found you!
**[02:41] Imaizumi**
They've been coming after us?
**[02:42] Imaizumi**
They passed Aoyagi-san,
Kaburagi, and the others?
**[02:45] Kuroda**
Kyoto Fushimi?
**[02:47] Kuroda**
I heard they disrupted the race last year.
**[02:49] Kuroda**
It must be all the pressure he's
exerting that makes him look huge.
**[02:54] Kuroda**
I can tell. He's calculated everything.
**[02:58] Kuroda**
He is only thinking about winning.
**[03:04] Kuroda**
Kyoto Fushimi's Midousuji...
**[03:07] Kuroda**
You're exactly as Fukutomi-san
described last year.
**[03:11] (Flashback) Fukutomi**
Though we lost the overall race,
this year's power rankings
**[03:15] (Flashback) Fukutomi**
put Hakone Academy first,
Sohoku next, and then the rest.
**[03:20] (Flashback) Kuroda**
Yes, sir.
**[03:21] (Flashback) Fukutomi**
But Kyoto Fushimi's Midousuji...
**[03:24] (Flashback) Fukutomi**
This loss will push him to
enter the Inter-High again.
**[03:30] (Flashback) Fukutomi**
Kuroda, unless your resolve is strong
by the time you become a third-year,
**[03:36] (Flashback) Fukutomi**
Hakone Academy won't reclaim its throne.
**[03:38] (Flashback) Kuroda**
Yes, sir.
**[03:38] (Flashback) Fukutomi**
After all, there will be three!
**[03:41] (Flashback) Fukutomi**
Hakone Academy, Sohoku, and Kyoto Fushimi!
**[03:44] (Flashback) Fukutomi**
It will be an era of three powerhouses!
**[03:48] Kuroda**
Three powerhouses...
**[03:50] Midousuji**
What are you looking at, Hakone Academy?
**[03:54] Midousuji**
Were you lost in thought
in the middle of a race?
**[03:59] Kuroda**
It took him a second to come up on my left.
**[04:01] Kuroda**
He's fast.
**[04:03] Kuroda**
But I just have to do
everything I can to stop him.
**[04:07] ---**
Wow!
**[04:08] Kuroda**
Huh?
**[04:17] Kuroda**
What?!
**[04:19] Kuroda**
What are you doing?
**[04:21] Komari**
I'm sorry.
**[04:22] Komari**
As a first-year, this is my first Inter-High.
**[04:25] Komari**
I was so happy to see one of the rumored
Hakone Academy riders that I stumbled.
**[04:31] Kuroda**
So happy you stumbled?
**[04:33] Komari**
Nice muscles.
**[04:35] Komari**
So these are the rumored cat legs
of Hakone Academy's Kuroda.
**[04:38] Komari**
I couldn't help but touch them...
**[04:41] Komari**
And make a sound, too.
**[04:42] Komari**
There are so many wonderful muscles right
before the finish line at the Inter-High!
**[04:46] Imaizumi**
That's #116, Kishigami Komari.
**[04:50] Imaizumi**
He did something similar to me
before the race started.
**[04:53] Imaizumi**
Is he trying to agitate us?
**[04:55] Both**
What's his deal?
**[04:57] Komari**
Muscles...
**[04:59] Kuroda**
He was listed as a substitute.
**[05:00] Kuroda**
So why is he here before the finish line?
**[05:04] Imaizumi**
In any case, right now,
I should focus on the finish line.
**[05:07] Imaizumi**
Don't let them manipulate you.
**[05:09] Imaizumi**
On this year's first day,
after we pass Lake Chuzenji,
**[05:13] Imaizumi**
the elevation rapidly rises toward the
finish line in a winding uphill climb.
**[05:20] Imaizumi**
Wait! Where is he?
**[05:21] Kuroda**
He's gone!
**[05:22] Imaizumi**
Where is Midousuji?
**[05:25] Kuroda**
Midousuji's gone!
**[05:26] Ashikiba**
Yuki-chan!
**[05:27] Kuroda**
Did he take advantage of the
confusion caused by #116...
**[05:32] Kuroda**
And attack?
**[05:35] Kuroda**
He's above us!
**[05:36] Kuroda**
He's going for the solo finish!
**[05:38] Imaizumi**
Faster, Naruko!
**[05:40] Imaizumi**
We can't leave him
for the last three kilometers!
**[05:41] Imaizumi**
Damn! How does Midousuji get me every time?
**[05:46] Imaizumi**
Naruko?
**[05:48] Imaizumi**
What's going on? Why isn't he here?
**[05:51] Imaizumi**
Naruko!
**[05:53] Midousuji**
I caught up, caused a commotion,
and took advantage of it to attack.
**[05:57] Midousuji**
Just as planned.
**[06:00] Midousuji**
All I want is victory.
**[06:02] Midousuji**
All I need is victory.
**[06:05] Midousuji**
I'll leave them in the dust.
**[06:09] Midousuji**
And Komari-kun really does
have no self control.
**[06:15] Midousuji**
Just three kilometers left.
**[06:17] Midousuji**
I'll take the finish line alone.
**[06:21] Fan A**
Kyoto Fushimi's in the lead!
**[06:22] Fan B**
Wow, seriously?
**[06:24] Fan C**
Kyoto Fushimi's #111, Midousuji,
is the first to come up the hill!
**[06:29] Midousuji**
At least, I was supposed to.
**[06:32] Fan A**
And behind him is...
**[06:34] Midousuji**
But you're the only one who
didn't take his eyes off me...
**[06:41] Midousuji**
You chicken-headed bean!
**[06:44] Naruko**
You should be thanking me, Midousuji.
**[06:46] Naruko**
I thought you'd be bored traveling alone,
so I tagged along.
**[06:50] Fan B**
Sohoku's in second! It's Naruko!
**[06:52] Fan B**
He's keeping up with Midousuji by himself!
**[06:55] Fan D**
What's going on?
**[06:56] Fan D**
Ten minutes ago, they reported that Sohoku
and Hakone Academy were racing for first!
**[06:59] Fan E**
I don't see the others!
**[07:01] Fan E**
There's three kilometers left!
**[07:02] Fan E**
What's going to happen?
**[07:04] Fan D**
This is the best part of road racing!
**[07:07] Fan E**
There's no telling who
will take the finish line!
**[07:11] Naruko**
I hope you haven't forgotten
last winter's battle, Midousuji!
**[07:17] Midousuji**
Did something happen?
**[07:20] Midousuji**
The seasons have changed.
**[07:24] Midousuji**
Chicken-headed bean...
**[07:26] Midousuji**
It was impressive enough that you were
the only one not to take his eyes off me,
**[07:31] Midousuji**
but what really deserves recognition...
**[07:35] Midousuji**
is that you kept up with
my attack on the climb.
**[07:39] Midousuji**
You were supposed to be a sprinter.
**[07:42] Midousuji**
You even abandoned the deep
wheels you were so proud of.
**[07:46] Midousuji**
This man really did quit being a
sprinter to become an all-rounder!
**[07:54] Midousuji**
Sorry. I can't remember, chicken-headed bean.
**[07:58] Naruko**
I can see in your eyes
that you do, Midousuji!
**[08:02] Midousuji**
A sprinter...
**[08:04] Midousuji**
I don't mind a man so
willing to give that up.
**[08:12] Naruko**
You idiot! I'm here to reclaim that!
**[08:17] Midousuji**
Here? With less than three kilometers
to the finish line at the Inter-High?
**[08:23] Midousuji**
Your plan is to race against me
and reclaim the title of sprinter?
**[08:28] Naruko**
What could be more tense, right?
**[08:33] Midousuji**
Fine. Sounds interesting.
**[08:36] Midousuji**
I'll do it. But...
**[08:43] Midousuji**
Only if you can catch up to me!
**[08:46] Fan F**
Kyoto Fushimi's accelerating
on the winding uphill!
**[08:49] Fan G**
What is that?
**[08:50] Fan G**
He leans so far forward when he dances!
**[08:52] Fan F**
He's so fast!
**[08:52] Fan F**
He's still accelerating!
**[08:54] Midousuji**
You may have gotten faster on the climb,
but you're still only a sprinter.
**[08:59] Midousuji**
You can't catch up to me with
just a little bit of effort.
**[09:08] Midousuji**
Huh?
**[09:11] Fan G**
Sohoku's Naruko is keeping up with
Kyoto Fushimi's acceleration!
**[09:15] Fan F**
Incredible! That red-headed guy's so fast,
even though he's small!
**[09:18] Naruko**
Don't think you can pull
ahead of me on the climb!
**[09:21] Naruko**
I told you so before we started, Midousuji!
**[09:23] Midousuji**
I'm all about experiencing
things to understand them.
**[09:28] Midousuji**
Not bad, chicken-head.
**[09:31] Midousuji**
Rather, Naruko-kun.
**[09:34] Midousuji**
Shall we work together until
the finish line, then?
**[09:40] Midousuji**
Good idea, right?
**[09:43] Midousuji**
You and I are the only ones nearing
the finish line right now.
**[09:47] Midousuji**
If we work together, we'll arrive
at the finish line first.
**[09:52] Midousuji**
Even you could take it first.
**[09:55] Midousuji**
You'll be able to deliver your
precious jersey to the finish line.
**[09:59] Midousuji**
Oh, it's okay.
**[10:01] Midousuji**
Don't worry. I'm talking
about peaceful cooperation.
**[10:05] Midousuji**
I just want to finish as highly ranked
as possible today for tomorrow.
**[10:09] Midousuji**
If you pedal really hard, then as a symbol
of our friendship, I'll let you—
**[10:17] Naruko**
You're bluffing.
**[10:19] Naruko**
Those aren't the eyes of a
man willing to give that up.
**[10:23] Midousuji**
I'm bluffing!
**[10:24] Naruko**
Don't use words like "friendship" that
aren't part of your normal vocabulary!
**[10:32] Naruko**
He shifted up.
**[10:37] Naruko**
This guy...
**[10:39] Naruko**
He's stronger than he was last winter!
**[10:42] Naruko**
That massive pressure was real!
**[10:45] Midousuji**
Oh, right.
**[10:47] Midousuji**
Chicken-head, as a special treat,
I'll show you something.
**[10:53] Midousuji**
I still have something special up my sleeve.
**[11:02] Makishima**
Where are we, Tadokorocchi?
**[11:06] Tadokoro**
Kanzaki-san told me there's a traffic jam.
**[11:10] Tadokoro**
This is a shortcut.
**[11:11] Kinjou**
I know you're the
Rampaging Human Bullet, but...
**[11:16] Kinjou**
You have to have limits, Tadokoro!
**[11:18] Tadokoro**
You can count on me.
**[11:20] Tadokoro**
We'll make it in time to
see the end of the race!
**[11:26] Ashikiba**
Yuki-chan!
**[11:26] Kuroda**
I know! He got past us!
**[11:29] Imaizumi**
Did Naruko go after Midousuji?
**[11:32] Kuroda**
We'll go after them at full speed, Ashikiba!
**[11:34] Ashikiba**
Yeah!
**[11:35] Kuroda**
There's no point if we can't catch up.
**[11:38] Kuroda**
Hakone Academy has to be part
of the race for the finish line!
**[11:44] Kuroda**
Sohoku's Imaizumi!
**[11:48] Kuroda**
Shall we work together?
**[11:51] Kuroda**
Don't you want to stop Midousuji?
**[11:54] Kuroda**
We'll cooperate until then.
**[11:58] Imaizumi**
Cooperate with Hakone Academy?
**[12:01] Imaizumi**
There are three kilometers to the finish line.
**[12:03] Imaizumi**
Hakone Academy is an opposing
team racing for the finish line.
**[12:06] Imaizumi**
But Midousuji is in front of me.
**[12:09] Imaizumi**
I'm in!
**[12:10] Imaizumi**
I'll cooperate with you, Kuroda-san!
**[12:12] Kuroda**
Good, but only if you can
keep up with my top speed!
**[12:17] Kuroda**
I'm flipping my switch!
**[12:21] Kuroda**
Don't get left behind, Imaizumi!
**[12:24] Imaizumi**
Got it!
**[12:26] Fan A**
Sohoku and Hakone Academy
are climbing together!
**[12:28] Fan B**
Wow, they're cooperating!
**[12:30] Fan B**
And Kuroda's a fast climber!
**[12:33] Fan A**
Of course he is!
**[12:33] Fan A**
He used to be one!
**[12:36] Imaizumi**
Incredible...
**[12:38] Imaizumi**
He's pulling me upward as we accelerate,
even on this incline.
**[12:41] Kuroda**
Don't underestimate me, Kyoto Fushimi!
**[12:43] Kuroda**
I'll make you regret
challenging me on a climb!
**[12:49] Imaizumi**
This is different from how
he was racing earlier.
**[12:51] Imaizumi**
Did he do something?
**[12:53] Imaizumi**
His pressure has increased.
**[12:55] Imaizumi**
He said something about a switch earlier.
**[12:58] Imaizumi**
Does this have something to do
with him touching his temple?
**[13:03] Ashikiba**
Yuki-chan...
**[13:04] Ashikiba**
You flipped your switch.
**[13:06] Ashikiba**
You're always so fast when you do.
**[13:10] (Flashback) Kuorda**
Huh? What's my switch?
**[13:13] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
You always get faster before
the finish line when
**[13:16] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
you say you're flipping your switch.
**[13:19] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
I was wondering what kind of
magical incantation it is.
**[13:21] (Flashback) Kuroda**
What?
**[13:21] (Flashback) Kuroda**
It's not an incantation.
**[13:23] (Flashback) Kuroda**
What are you, a high school girl
who believes in jinxes?
**[13:26] (Flashback) Kuroda**
I have a scar right here.
**[13:30] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
Really?
**[13:32] (Flashback) Kuroda**
I guess you hadn't heard.
**[13:34] (Flashback) Kuroda**
A long time ago, I once suffered
an injury related to my pride.
**[13:38] (Flashback) Kuroda**
When I turn on my switch, I'm scraping
off the unhealed scab with my nail.
**[13:46] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
That's what you've been doing, Yuki-chan?
**[13:49] (Flashback) Kuroda**
It bleeds nicely when I do.
**[13:51] (Flashback) Kuroda**
It clears my mind.
**[13:53] (Flashback) Kuroda**
It revives the old me.
**[13:56] (Flashback) Kuroda**
The man who couldn't stand
not being best at everything.
**[14:02] (Flashback) Kuroda**
And then...
**[14:03] Kuroda**
*It heightens my competitiveness, my focus.*
**[14:07] Kuroda**
*My desire to consume my enemies shoots up.*
**[14:10] Kuroda**
Kyoto Fushimi!
**[14:12] Ashikiba**
I can feel it, Yuki-chan.
**[14:14] Ashikiba**
I feel it.
**[14:17] Ashikiba**
It's heightened for me, too!
**[14:20] Imaizumi**
Ashikiba-san increased his pressure, too?
**[14:23] Imaizumi**
Does working together do that for this
year's #1 and #2 from Hakone Academy?
**[14:30] Imaizumi**
Was agreeing to cooperate
with them a mistake?
***SIGN*** Kuroda
***SIGN*** Imaizumi
***SIGN*** Ashikiba
**[14:33] Imaizumi**
I'm helping my opponents
get to the finish line.
***SIGN*** Midousuji
***SIGN*** Naruko
**[14:37] Imaizumi**
Sohoku has Naruko nearing the finish line.
**[14:40] Imaizumi**
Should I have tried to stop
Hakone Academy instead?
**[14:44] Imaizumi**
No.
**[14:46] Imaizumi**
They could reach the front
without my cooperation.
**[14:50] Imaizumi**
And if that happened, Sohoku would be alone.
**[14:52] Imaizumi**
We'd be at an overwhelming disadvantage.
**[14:54] Fan D**
Wow, Sohoku's pulling for Hakone Academy!
**[14:57] Fan E**
Last year's rival teams are working
together to pursue the leaders!
**[15:01] Fan E**
Such passion!
**[15:02] Fan D**
Take a picture!
**[15:04] Kuroda**
Not bad, Imaizumi. You pull well.
**[15:07] Kuroda**
It's smooth and efficient.
**[15:09] Kuroda**
And you're smart. I know what you're thinking.
**[15:12] Kuroda**
You're wondering if you made the right
choice by agreeing to cooperate.
**[15:17] Kuroda**
I like that look in your eyes.
**[15:20] Kuroda**
They're the eyes of a lively and proud elite.
**[15:27] Kuroda**
I can tell from your face
that you don't think I understand.
**[15:29] Kuroda**
Sorry, but I do. I get it.
**[15:31] Kuroda**
After all, I used to be an elite.
**[15:33] Kuroda**
You don't go with the crowd, you don't
back down, and you don't listen to others.
**[15:37] Imaizumi**
Kuroda-san's going even faster.
**[15:40] Kuroda**
And yet you're still better than the rest.
**[15:43] Kuroda**
No wonder you're confused.
**[15:45] Imaizumi**
I'm not like that.
**[15:47] Kuroda**
Good luck with that, kid.
**[15:51] Imaizumi**
I've worked harder than anyone else.
**[15:53] Imaizumi**
That's why I'm strong.
**[15:55] Imaizumi**
I've achieved things, too.
**[15:56] Imaizumi**
It has nothing to do with being an elite.
**[15:59] Kuroda**
In order to become stronger
and rise higher...
**[16:07] Kuroda**
Have you ever bowed your head
to the one you hate the most?
**[16:15] Kuroda**
That's it. Keep it up, Imaizumi.
**[16:17] Kuroda**
I'd like to see how far your
friendly little club gets you.
**[16:21] Kuroda**
I believe a team is about becoming
stronger by struggling against
**[16:26] Kuroda**
and hating each other.
**[16:29] Kuroda**
Well, good luck.
**[16:32] Ashikiba**
Yuki-chan, I'll switch
with you. I'll lead next.
**[16:35] Kuroda**
Stay back, Takuto!
**[16:39] Ashikiba**
But we need to catch up
as quickly as possible.
**[16:42] Ashikiba**
And all three of us are working together.
**[16:44] Kuroda**
Don't be absurd, Takuto!
**[16:46] Kuroda**
You're the ace!
**[16:47] Kuroda**
Taking the finish line is the ace's job!
**[16:52] Kuroda**
Trusting your assistants and
conserving your strength
**[16:54] Kuroda**
no matter how bad it gets is your job!
**[16:58] Kuroda**
Don't worry.
**[16:59] Kuroda**
I'll pull twice as hard for you.
**[17:02] Kuroda**
And if Imaizumi's not happy with that,
I'll pull three times as hard.
**[17:06] Imaizumi**
Even under these circumstances,
he still intends to be his assistant?
**[17:10] Kuroda**
Just shut up and follow me.
**[17:12] Kuroda**
I'm Black Cat Kuroda, the deliveryman!
**[17:20] Imaizumi**
But I still don't see Midousuji.
**[17:24] Imaizumi**
Damn it. Only two
and a half kilometers left.
**[17:27] Imaizumi**
Will we fail to catch up to them?
**[17:29] Imaizumi**
If that happens...
**[17:31] Imaizumi**
I'm counting on you, Naruko!
**[17:38] Midousuji**
You're at your limit.
**[17:41] Midousuji**
Is that the best you can do,
chicken-headed bean?
**[17:46] Midousuji**
In that case, the finish line is mine.
**[17:54] Fan**
There are 2.5 kilometers left to
the first day's finish line!
**[17:57] Fan**
Kyoto Fushimi's in the lead!
**[17:58] Fan**
Go!
**[18:00] Fan**
Kyoto Fushimi!
**[18:01] Staff**
Kyoto Fushimi is amazing this year.
**[18:04] Staff**
I just heard over the radio that
there's three guys chasing after them,
**[18:07] Staff**
but they're pretty far behind.
**[18:09] Staff**
He might actually be able to
stay ahead of them and win!
**[18:15] Fan E**
Kyoto Fushimi's raising his pace!
**[18:17] Fan E**
He's trying to stay ahead!
**[18:19] Fan G**
Sohoku's desperately chasing after him!
**[18:21] Fan G**
At this rate, the first day will go
to either Sohoku or Kyoto Fushimi!
**[18:25] Midousuji**
There are two ways to take the
finish line in a road race.
**[18:30] Midousuji**
Either catch up to those who
raced ahead for a "group finish,"
**[18:34] Midousuji**
or stay ahead of the others
in a "running finish."
**[18:39] Midousuji**
I'm fairly far ahead of Hakone Academy.
**[18:42] Midousuji**
I read the terrain and timing
to achieve this margin.
**[18:46] Midousuji**
If I can just maintain this lead, I'll win!
**[18:53] Midousuji**
Only two kilometers left!
**[18:57] Midousuji**
Winning, victory, the fruits of my labor...
**[19:00] Midousuji**
Proof I'm faster than the others.
**[19:03] Midousuji**
Stronger than the others.
**[19:05] Midousuji**
More right than the others.
**[19:08] Midousuji**
Purer than anything else.
**[19:11] Midousuji**
That is the finish line!
**[19:14] Midousuji**
So why are you trying so hard with
clenched teeth and a pained expression?
**[19:22] Midousuji**
Why? You should allow your spirit
to be broken and just give up.
**[19:28] Midousuji**
Why are you so close, chicken-headed bean?
**[19:32] Midousuji**
What is it? The power of friendship?
**[19:35] Midousuji**
Is the energy Weakizumi-kun's
sending you giving you courage?
**[19:39] Midousuji**
Don't push yourself so hard.
Feel free to drop out.
**[19:42] Naruko**
You said you'd race me if I caught up,
so I caught up, Midousuji!
**[19:48] Naruko**
I've been waiting for you to
switch from watching your back
**[19:51] Naruko**
to letting down your guard
and only facing forward!
**[19:59] Midousuji**
You intend to get in my way?
**[20:02] Naruko**
With all my might!
**[20:04] Midousuji**
What an unpleasant attitude.
**[20:07] Naruko**
That's rich, coming from you.
**[20:10] Naruko**
That's the perfect sound for a starting bell!
**[20:14] Fan H**
He's so fast!
**[20:15] Fan H**
He was falling behind earlier!
**[20:17] Fan I**
He let him get ahead so he could
conserve his strength on the climb.
**[20:21] Fan H**
What do you mean?
**[20:22] Fan I**
The first day's course follows a
**[20:24] Fan I**
winding road after Lake Chuzenji
into the final uphill climb.
**[20:28] Fan I**
Once you're through the birch forest,
**[20:31] Fan I**
it's a perfectly flat road at
the base of Mount Nantaisan!
**[20:36] Fan I**
Sohoku's #3 is a former sprinter!
**[20:42] Naruko**
A single road cutting through the trees.
**[20:44] Naruko**
One thousand, seven hundred meters
to the final finish line.
**[20:46] Naruko**
Flat terrain.
**[20:48] Naruko**
Just the two of us.
**[20:49] Naruko**
It's just like that time!
**[20:52] Naruko**
That time...
**[20:54] (Flashback) Naruko**
I'll quit sprinting!
**[20:56] Naruko**
It's just like our race in Osaka.
**[21:00] Naruko**
And on top of that,
we're racing for the finish line!
**[21:05] Naruko**
Surely you don't have any—
**[21:07] Midousuji**
No complaints here, chicken-headed bean.
**[21:14] Naruko**
He's breaking out his special technique.
**[21:16] (Flashback) Midousuji**
I'll race you. However,
you'll only get one chance.
**[21:24] (Flashback) Naruko**
That's plenty.
**[21:29] Midousuji**
Gross!
**[21:31] Naruko**
It's time for our race!

You really are an impatient man.

Just three kilometers left.
**[00:02] Midousuji**
I'll take the finish line alone.
**[00:05] Fan A**
Kyoto Fushimi's in the lead!
**[00:07] Fan B**
Wow, seriously?
**[00:09] Fan C**
Kyoto Fushimi's #111, Midousuji,
is the first to come up the hill!
**[00:14] Midousuji**
At least, I was supposed to.
**[00:17] Fan A**
And behind him is...
**[00:18] Midousuji**
But you're the only one who
didn't take his eyes off me...
**[00:26] Midousuji**
You chicken-headed bean!
**[00:29] Naruko**
You should be thanking me, Midousuji.
**[00:31] Naruko**
I thought you'd be bored traveling
alone, so I tagged along.
**[00:34] ---**
Sohoku's in second! It's Naruko!
**[00:37] ---**
He's keeping up with Midousuji by himself!
**[00:40] Naruko**
He shifted up.
**[00:46] Naruko**
This guy...
**[00:47] Naruko**
He's stronger than he was last winter!
**[00:50] Naruko**
That massive pressure was real!
**[00:53] Midousuji**
Oh, right.
**[00:55] Midousuji**
Chicken-head, as a special treat,
I'll show you something special.
**[01:01] Midousuji**
I still have something special up my sleeve.

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

**[00:46] Fan S**
The leaders have crossed the 400 meter line!
**[00:50] Fan T**
Sohoku's Naruko is in front!
**[00:52] Midousuji**
He refuses to let me have it.
**[00:57] Midousuji**
Then I don't have a choice.
**[01:00] Midousuji**
I'll have to fly before the finish line!
**[01:05] Fan T**
The others have crossed the 400-meter line!
**[01:08] Fan U**
Go, Hakone Academy!
**[01:11] Kuroda**
We're chasing as fast as we can,
but they're going at top speed, too.
**[01:15] Kuroda**
It's not that easy to close this gap.
**[01:17] Kuroda**
But! But!
**[01:20] Kuroda**
It's not easy, but...
**[01:23] Kuroda**
There's nothing I can't do!
**[01:34] Fan V**
Just 300 meters remaining!
**[01:35] Fan V**
They're closing the gap!
**[01:37] Fan W**
Will they stay ahead? Will they catch up?
**[01:39] Midousuji**
I already said they can't catch up.
**[01:43] Midousuji**
Actually, if the course were straight,
they might have.
**[01:54] Midousuji**
But there's a difficult corner leading
the course from National Route 120
**[02:02] Midousuji**
to the first day's finish line
at the large parking lot.
**[02:05] Midousuji**
Two of them.
**[02:10] Naruko**
I'm entering the corner first!
**[02:13] Naruko**
I can see it.
**[02:15] Naruko**
It's the finish line gate!
**[02:19] Midousuji**
Time to fly.
**[02:23] Midousuji**
When insects have oversaturated an area...
**[02:32] Midousuji**
They metamorphosize wings,
so they can fly to new locations!
**[02:40] Naruko**
We're in the middle of a corner, Midousuji!
**[02:43] Naruko**
You're going to do that here?
**[02:46] Ashikiba**
They entered the corner ahead of us!
**[02:48] Kuroda**
Shut up and follow me, Takuto!
**[02:51] Kuroda**
I'm glad there are two corners
before the finish line.
**[02:57] Kuroda**
Takuto! You were right!
**[03:00] Kuroda**
Hakone Academy has nothing left to lose!
**[03:04] Kuroda**
We're charging in at full speed!
**[03:06] Ashikiba**
Yeah!
**[03:08] Kuroda**
I'll show you...
**[03:10] Kuroda**

This is really fast.
**[05:46] Naruko**
I know it well.
**[05:49] Naruko**
It made my nose bleed!
**[05:53] Naruko**
It's fast, but...
**[05:56] Naruko**
The same situation, the same opponent...
**[06:00] Naruko**
And now we're at the
Inter-High's finish line.
**[06:02] Naruko**
If I lose now, I'm not a real man!
**[06:06] Naruko**
I'm the flashiest man in Naniwa,

Do you have another special
technique to use? Buzz.
**[06:32] Naruko**
Sorry, but no.
**[06:35] Nuarko**
But I've trained.
**[06:37] Naruko**
Ever since I lost to you, I've trained!
**[06:40] Naruko**
For this day, I honed my body!
**[06:47] Naruko**
The finish line sprint I'm about
to show you is common enough.
**[06:52] Midousuji**
Buzz, buzz...
**[06:54] Naruko**
Sway your bike, put your weight on it,
and give everything you've got.
**[06:59] Naruko**
There's nothing special about it.
**[07:02] Midousuji**
Buzz...
**[07:03] Naruko**
But!
**[07:04] Naruko**
It's the sprint being done by this body,
which I've honed to perfection!
**[07:09] Midousuji**
Buzz!
**[07:11] Naruko**
Watch closely.
**[07:13] Naruko**
In the second half of this finish line sprint,
I'll get even faster...
**[07:18] Naruko**
Like a roller coaster!
**[07:20] Midousuji**
Huh?
**[07:23] Midousuji**
So you do have one! Buzz!

His shoulder scraped against the wall!
**[07:48] Fan C**
Huh? Blood?
**[07:51] Kuroda**
We shaved off half a second on that corner!
**[07:55] Kuroda**
My shoulder's cut and bleeding?

That doesn't matter!
**[07:59] Kuroda**
I'll catch up!
**[08:01] Kuroda**
I'll catch up to them!
**[08:03] Kuroda**
I have to!
**[08:05] Kuroda**
I'll shave off half a second

**[08:09] Kuroda**
No, more! I can do it!
**[08:13] Ashikiba**
Yuki-chan...
**[08:15] Ashikiba**
I know how you're feeling.
**[08:19] Ashikiba**
It's giving me chills.

I'm about to cry.
**[08:23] Ashikiba**
But I won't!

Because I'm wearing #1!
**[08:32] Ashikiba**
I am strong!
**[08:35] Kuroda**
Takuto! Once we're out of
the final corner, move up!
**[08:38] Kuroda**
We'll shave off two seconds!
**[08:40] Kuroda**
Then I'll push your back
to shave off one more!
**[08:45] Kuroda**
The rest is up to you.

Don't look back, Takuto.

Before I could think,
my body reacted instinctively.
**[09:52] Imaizumi**
If we keep moving as a group,
we'll be in danger.

Well done, boys.
**[04:57] Izumida**
This is how Hakone Academy should be.
**[05:00] Izumida**
Abs! We're up!
**[05:03] Doubashi**
We are strong! We are right!
**[05:06] Mc**
Thank you for your powerful comments.
**[05:09] Mc**
That was Doubashi.
**[05:11] Kaburagi**
Damn, damn, damn! Second!
**[05:14] Kaburagi**
Second, second, second!
**[05:16] Kaburagi**
We placed second in everything!
**[05:17] Kaburagi**
Hakone Academy took the
sprint and the mountains!
**[05:21] Kaburagi**
How could we place second
at the finish line, too?
**[05:23] Naruko**
Who called me a bean?
**[05:24] Kaburagi**
So why is Naruko-san cracking jokes?
**[05:27] Kaburagi**
Doesn't he realize what happened?
**[05:29] Kaburagi**
Is he stupid?
**[05:30] Kaburagi**
Is he not frustrated?
**[05:31] Danchiku**
Stop, Issa!
**[05:33] Kaburagi**
No, I'm gonna say it!
**[05:34] Kaburagi**
Isn't that the reason we placed second?
**[05:37] Kaburagi**
That's why Naruko-san lost!
**[05:40] Sakamichi**
Imaizumi-kun!
**[05:41] Imaizumi**
Don't stop me, Onoda.
**[05:43] Imaizumi**
I'm going to teach this idiot.
**[05:44] Kaburagi**
What? Idiot?
**[05:46] Kaburagi**
Who are you talking about? Me?
**[05:48] Imaizumi**
Naruko sprinted as hard as
he could for the finish line.
**[05:52] Imaizumi**
I was right behind him. I know.
**[05:55] Imaizumi**
They were neck and neck.
**[05:57] Imaizumi**
Midousuji attacked first,
and Naruko responded.
**[06:01] Imaizumi**
He threw his bike forward so he
could win precisely and certainly.
**[06:08] Imaizumi**
His timing wasn't off.
**[06:10] Imaizumi**
I thought he won.
**[06:14] Imaizumi**
But Hakone Academy's Ashikiba threw
his bike at the exact same time.
**[06:20] Imaizumi**
Ashikiba won.
**[06:23] Imaizumi**
Do you know why?
**[06:26] Imaizumi**
You think Naruko isn't frustrated?
**[06:30] Imaizumi**
No one's more frustrated than him.
**[06:32] Imaizumi**
He lost because of their difference
in height. Their reach.
**[06:39] Naruko**
Naruko Shoukichi can get laughs, too!
**[06:42] Naruko**
Don't forget that!
**[06:44] Naruko**
See you guys tomorrow!
**[06:46] Naruko**
Here.
**[06:49] Imaizumi**
Knowing he can do nothing about his height,
**[06:52] Imaizumi**
he's biting back his frustration
and standing onstage.
**[06:58] Imaizumi**
He's a strong man.
**[07:10] Tadokoro**
Naruko...
**[07:12] Naruko**
Man, I'm beat.
**[07:15] Naruko**
People love a funny, strong man.
**[07:17] Naruko**
I was mobbed for autographs and photos.

Thanks.
**[08:28] Teshima**
Where's Naruko?
**[08:30] Teshima**
Not so hard, Gorizo.
**[08:33] Gorizo**
Sorry.
**[08:34] Teshima**
Did anyone go to Naruko's award ceremony?
**[08:37] Miki**
Yes. Sugimoto-kun, Sawada-kun, and the
other first-years took photos and a video.
**[08:43] Miki**
They applauded for him, too.
**[08:45] Teshima**
Second overall at the Inter-High.
**[08:48] Teshima**
We made it to the podium.
**[08:50] Teshima**
Make sure you praise him when he comes back.
**[08:53] Sakamichi**
Teshima-san...
**[08:56] Sakamichi**
He gave everything he had against
Manami-kun in the mountain stage.
**[09:00] Sakamichi**
He can't ride anymore.
**[09:04] Sakamichi**
He pushed himself really hard
to reach the finish line.
**[09:10] Sakamichi**
I was supposed to do that work for
our second Inter-High, but I...
**[09:17] Sakamichi**
I'm a second-year now.
**[09:20] Sakamichi**
No! I can't let my thoughts get dark.
**[09:22] Sakamichi**
I know. If anything, I should be cheerful.
**[09:25] Sakamichi**
I'll cheer everyone up.
**[09:26] Sakamichi**
As a second-year, I should
keep everyone's spirits up.
**[09:29] Sakamichi**
I know. I'll tell a joke.
**[09:31] Sakamichi**
Okay, um...
**[09:33] Teshima**
Onoda...
**[09:34] Sakamichi**
Who?
**[09:35] Sakamichi**
Oh, yes?
**[09:37] Teshima**
Thanks for carrying me to the finish line.
**[09:42] Sakamichi**
Oh, no problem.
**[09:44] Sakamichi**
But I should've been the one to race
in the first day's mountain stage.
**[09:49] Sakamichi**
I'm sorry I got separated from the team.
**[09:54] Teshima**
You did well to break through their
tag #1 barrier and ride to the front.
**[09:59] Teshima**
It must've been hard.
**[10:01] Teshima**
Didn't Kyoto try to slow
you down on your way there?
**[10:05] Sakamichi**
Compared to you, I hardly did anything.
**[10:10] Sakamichi**
Um...
**[10:11] Teshima**
Thanks to you, all six of us finished.
**[10:16] Sakamichi**
Yes, sir.
**[10:18] Aya**
Don't they race again tomorrow?
**[10:20] Miki**
Huh?
**[10:21] Aya**
Can Teshima-san race like this?
**[10:28] Aya**
Huh?
**[10:37] Kaburagi**
Huh? The ground's getting closer...
**[10:43] Kaburagi**
Why is it getting closer?
**[10:47] Danchiku**
Issa!
**[10:47] Aoyagi**
Kaburagi!
**[10:50] Kaburagi**
I collapsed?
**[10:52] Kaburagi**
That's impossible.
**[10:55] Kaburagi**
That was only the first day
of the Inter-High...
**[10:58] Sakamichi**
K-K-K-K-Kaburagi-kun!
**[11:00] Aoyagi**
Leave him on the ground, Onoda.
**[11:02] Aoyagi**
Did he just lose consciousness?
**[11:03] Aya**
Another member?
**[11:05] Aoyagi**
Call the first-aid tent.
**[11:07] Aoyagi**
And bring some cold water.
**[11:09] ---**
**[11:09] Imaizumi**
He was angrily ranting about
Naruko until a second ago!
**[11:14] Imaizumi**
Your adrenaline keeps you energized
during and after a race.
**[11:15] Miki**
Bring him inside.
**[11:16] Aoyagi**
Get three towels.
**[11:17] Danchiku**
Yes, sir.
**[11:20] Imaizumi**
But once that runs out, all the exhaustion
that's built up hits you at once.
**[11:27] Imaizumi**
I should've forced him to cool down.
**[11:30] Imaizumi**
I had my hands full with myself.
**[11:34] Imaizumi**
I can't believe the team is this damaged.
**[11:37] Imaizumi**
Damn it.
**[11:38] Aoyagi**
Ice water.
**[11:39] Miki**
Got it.
**[11:39] Imaizumi**
You're an important part of
this team, too, Kaburagi Issa.
**[11:45] Teshima**
Onoda...
**[11:47] Sakamichi**
Yes?
**[11:49] Teshima**
Go look for Naruko.
**[11:52] Teshima**
There's something we all need to talk
about before we head to the hotel.
**[12:01] Sakamichi**
Where is Naruko-kun?
**[12:03] Sakamichi**
The awards ceremony is over.
**[12:05] Sakamichi**
Ouch...
**[12:06] Sakamichi**
My legs are sore.
**[12:10] Sakamichi**
I wonder what he wants to talk about.
**[12:12] Sakamichi**
Is it important?
**[12:13] Teshima**
Kaburagi and I can't race tomorrow.
**[12:16] Teshima**
The four of you have to race.
**[12:17] Kaburagi**
Good luck.
**[12:19] Sakamichi**
No, no! Makishima-san said
bad thoughts bring bad results.
**[12:28] Sakamichi**
The six of us will ride.
**[12:31] Sakamichi**
I'm sure we'll be fine.
**[12:33] Sakamichi**
Sohoku is a team that supports each other!
**[12:38] Sakamichi**
Kinjou-san said the same thing last year!
**[12:40] Sakamichi**
Kinjou-san...
**[12:49] Sakamichi**
What?
**[12:56] Tadokoro**
You sure, Makishima?
**[12:58] Makishima**
Yeah.
**[13:00] Tadokoro**
It's your decision to make.
**[13:02] Tadokoro**
You traveled the farthest.
**[13:05] Makishima**
This is fine.
**[13:10] Sakamichi**
Huh?
**[13:17] Sakamichi**
What?
**[13:21] Sakamichi**
Kinjou-san?
**[13:24] Kinjou**
We were watching at the finish line.
**[13:27] Kinjou**
You've put together a good team, Onoda.
**[13:31] Sakamichi**
Kinjou-san...
**[13:33] Sakamichi**
Kinjou-san!
**[13:35] Kinjou**
It's been a while.
**[13:37] Kinjou**
Looks like you've grown a little.
**[13:40] Kinjou**
Your face has changed.
**[13:41] Sakamichi**
Huh? Really?
**[13:43] Sakamichi**
Y-You came to cheer us on?
**[13:46] Sakamichi**
Th-Thank you!
**[13:48] Sakamichi**
It's really you!
**[13:53] Sakamichi**
The team's in trouble.
**[13:56] Sakamichi**
Teshima-san is exhausted, and our
first-year Kaburagi-kun collapsed.
**[14:03] Sakamichi**
Come to our tent.
**[14:04] Sakamichi**
Everyone will be glad to see you.
**[14:06] Sakamichi**
A visit from you will cheer them up.
**[14:09] Sakamichi**
It's this way.
**[14:14] Kinjou**
I can't.
**[14:15] Sakamichi**
Y-You have something to do? You're busy?
**[14:18] Sakamichi**
But couldn't you just stop by?
**[14:21] Sakamichi**
I-Isn't Sohoku a team that supports each other?
**[14:24] Kinjou**
You're the ones who support each other.
**[14:26] Sakamichi**
Huh?
**[14:28] Kinjou**
You're the only ones within arm's
reach when you need each other.
**[14:33] Kinjou**
We've already graduated.
**[14:37] Kinjou**
We can't support you anymore.
**[14:52] Imaizumi**
Onoda, where have you been?
**[14:53] Imaizumi**
Naruko came back already.
**[14:55] Sakamichi**
Sorry I'm late.
**[14:57] Naruko**
Let's get this team meeting
started, Onoda-kun.
**[15:00] Sakamichi**
Okay.
**[15:02] Teshima**
We gave everything we had. All six of us.
**[15:06] Teshima**
And we lost.
**[15:08] Teshima**
Naruko did his best, but in the end,
he couldn't make it.
**[15:12] Teshima**
It was a close second.
**[15:16] Imaizumi**
Teshima-san and Kaburagi
were close seconds, too.
**[15:21] Imaizumi**
We were beaten at the very last second.
**[15:24] Teshima**
The answer I've drawn from this...
**[15:30] Teshima**
...is that we're still only challengers!
**[15:35] Teshima**
Hakone Academy is strong.
**[15:37] Teshima**
The fans have high hopes for them, too.
**[15:39] Teshima**
And we can't underestimate Kyoto Fushimi.
**[15:42] Teshima**
So...
**[15:43] Teshima**
There's only one thing for us to do.
**[15:45] Teshima**
It's the same as last year.
**[15:47] Teshima**
We'll persistently hang on until we're
exhausted, try and fail repeatedly,
**[15:53] Teshima**
find the tiniest of opportunities,
and seize them.
**[15:57] Teshima**
We'll entrust our souls to each other
and ride as hard as we can.
**[16:00] Teshima**
We'll help and support each
other and never give up.
**[16:04] Teshima**
We just have to ride the way Sohoku rides!
**[16:07] Naruko**
Is that our only option?
**[16:09] Imaizumi**
It's an exhausting way to ride.
**[16:14] Teshima**
That's right.
**[16:17] Sakamichi**
I have an announcement.
**[16:21] Sakamichi**
I just ran into Kinjou-san
at the Inter-High grounds.
**[16:25] Naruko**
Kin...
**[16:26] Teshima**
What?
**[16:28] Imaizumi**
Kinjou-san's here?
**[16:30] Naruko**
Captain Shades is here?
**[16:32] Naruko**
Oh, I guess he's not the captain anymore.
**[16:35] Aoyagi**
And Tadokoro-san and Makishima-san?
**[16:36] Teshima**
Are they coming by the tent later?
**[16:38] Sakamichi**
They said they couldn't see us.
**[16:41] All**
What?
**[16:44] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
Wh-Why not? It could be for just a second.
**[16:50] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
I know it would make everyone happy.
**[16:56] (Flashback) Kinjou**
At first, we planned to visit
your tent and praise you guys.
**[17:00] (Flashback) Kinjou**
But on the first day, Sohoku just
barely let their chance slip away.
**[17:06] (Flashback) Kinjou**
We thought it would be dangerous.
**[17:07] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
All the more reason for you to come.
**[17:13] (Flashback) Kinjou**
The power to avoid a dangerous situation
**[17:15] (Flashback) Kinjou**
or turn that into a victory only lies
within the individual or the team.
**[17:22] Sakamichi**
*Kinjou-san was actually...*
**[17:24] (Flashback) Kinjou**
If we go, the tension will be shattered.
**[17:28] (Flashback) Kinjou**
You'll lose sight of what you have to do.
**[17:30] (Flashback) Kinjou**
It'll divide the team.
**[17:35] (Flashback) Kinjou**
You're at your weakest right now.
**[17:38] (Flashback) Kinjou**
That's why we can't go.
**[17:40] (Flashback) Kinjou**
You must understand that, Onoda.
**[17:45] Sakamichi**
*He was thinking of us.*
**[17:48] (Flashback) Kinjou**
Struggle against your difficult
circumstances, Onoda.
**[17:52] (Flashback) Kinjou**
That will surely give rise to something.
**[17:55] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
Yes, sir.
**[17:58] (Flashback) Kinjou**
Good.
**[17:59] Kinjou**
* You have the face of a*
* second-year now, Onoda.*
**[18:03] (Flashback) Kinjou**
We were going to leave without seeing anyone,
but I'm glad I got to talk to you.
**[18:08] (Flashback) Kinjou**
The three of us decided we
wouldn't see anyone today.
**[18:11] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
The three of you?
**[18:13] (Flashback) Kinjou**
I know it's hard, but try to understand.
**[18:15] (Flashback) Kinjou**
But we plan to stick around and watch
the race for as long as we can.
**[18:20] (Flashback) Kinjou**
Go back and tell the others
that we'll be watching.
**[18:27] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
Um... three of you?
**[18:33] (Flashback) Kinjou**
Yeah. Makishima came, too.
**[18:36] (Flashback) Kinjou**
All the way from England.
**[18:41] Sakamichi**
*M-Makishima-san is at the race?*
**[18:46] Sakamichi**
*He's in Japan?*
**[18:48] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
M-Makishima-san...
**[18:52] Kinjou**
*Does it hurt not to see him, Onoda?*
**[18:55] Kinjou**
*I'm sure it does.*
***SIGN*** Dear Brother
**[18:57] Kinjou**
* Makishima said he's gotten a*
* lot of letters from you.*
**[19:01] Kinjou**
*But it's Makishima's decision.*
**[19:05] (Flashback) Kinjou**
Does it hurt, Onoda?
**[19:12] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
Makishima-san is here.
**[19:16] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
He's watching us race.
**[19:23] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
I'm glad!
**[19:28] Imaizumi**
So they can't come see us.
**[19:31] Naruko**
He's tough.
**[19:33] Naruko**
What is he, a rock?
**[19:35] Aoyagi**
Tadokoro-san...
**[19:37] Teshima**
So that's how it is.
**[19:39] Teshima**
They can't support us when we're weak.
**[19:42] Sakamichi**
So...
**[19:46] Sakamichi**
Let's get stronger.
**[19:48] Sakamichi**
We'll become stronger.
**[19:51] Teshima**
This rising pressure...
**[19:53] Teshima**
Kinjou-san described
Onoda that way last year.
**[19:59] Sakamichi**
Let's show them our new Sohoku!
**[20:03] Teshima**
Those forward-facing eyes...
**[20:05] Teshima**
This is what moved Sohoku last year.
**[20:08] Teshima**
That's it. It's simple,
but you're right, Onoda.
**[20:12] Naruko**
Of course.
**[20:13] Naruko**
In that case, let's shock them.
**[20:15] Imaizumi**
So they won't see us until we win?
**[20:18] Imaizumi**
His orders are as difficult as ever.
**[20:22] Aoyagi**
We have to be number one.
**[20:28] Sakamichi**
Let's do it again tomorrow, Sohoku!
**[20:32] All**
Yeah!
**[20:36] All**
All right!
**[20:39] Imaizumi**
Oh.
**[20:41] Imaizumi**
We forgot someone.
**[20:48] Aya**
What?
**[20:58] Tadokoro**
"I'm glad," huh?
**[21:00] Kinjou**
Onoda's still a surprising guy.
**[21:05] Makishima**
Sounds like Onoda.
**[21:10] Makishima**
By the way, where are we staying tonight?
**[21:14] Tadokoro**

but we can stay at my place.

**[00:29] Naruko**
Yeah.
**[00:30] Onoda**
Oh, sorry! Did that bring back bad thoughts?
**[00:34] Onoda**
Today's finish line...
**[00:38] Naruko**
It's fine.
**[00:39] Naruko**
What's done is done.
**[00:41] Naruko**
I'm sorry for letting you down.
**[00:44] Onoda**
That's not...
**[00:45] Naruko**
I disappointed myself.
**[00:49] Naruko**
When you're disappointed, you must
let go and feel as disappointed as you can.
**[00:54] Naruko**
Feel disappointed, get pissed off,
**[00:56] Naruko**
think of everything you would
have done differently,
**[00:59] Naruko**
regret it all, cry,
**[01:03] Naruko**
and sleep.
**[01:04] Int_Onoda**
Naruko-kun...
**[01:06] Naruko**
And then, forget it all
the next day and snap back.
**[01:11] Naruko**
That's Naruko's flashy snap back technique!
**[01:17] Onoda**
Yeah!

I'm here, Sakamichi!
**[03:04] Naruko**
It's Onoda-kun's typhoon mother!
**[03:06] Onoda**
You came again?!
**[03:07] Mom**
Yes, with the same housewife alliance.
**[03:11] Mom**
I wanted to see your race, but the
roads were closed, so I just got here.
**[03:17] Mom**
Were they working on the roads or something?
**[03:19] Int_Both**
That was the race!
**[03:20] Mom**
So I went to the Toshogu Shrine instead!
**[03:22] Mom**
The Nikkou Tosho Shrine!
**[03:24] Mom**
And I had some yuba tofu skin
with soy sauce and wasabi.
**[03:27] Mom**
It's so good! No wonder
Nikkou is famous for it!
**[03:30] Onoda**
What did you even come here to do?
**[03:32] Mom**
By the way...
**[03:33] Mom**
I see you're staying in the annex
instead of the fancy main hotel.
**[03:38] Mom**
Is that because your school
isn't private, but prefectural?
**[03:41] Onoda**
D-Don't ask me!
**[03:44] Koga**
Is something going on?
**[03:45] Naruko**
We're being raided by Onoda-kun's mother.
**[03:49] Koga**
Nice to meet you.
**[03:50] Koga**
I'm Koga, a third-year
with the cycling club.
**[03:53] Aoyagi**
Likewise, I'm Aoyagi.

look as old this year.
**[03:58] Int_Aoyagi**
This year?
**[03:59] Int_Koga**
Does she mean...
**[04:01] Int_Koga**
Kinjou-san?
**[04:03] Onoda**
Seriously, Mom! What are you even here for?
**[04:06] Mom**
Oh, right! I came to give this to you.
**[04:12] Mom**
Here, a tire pump!
**[04:14] Mom**
You forgot it!
**[04:15] Int_Onoda**
No, I left it on purpose!
**[04:17] Int_Naruko**
And that's for a mommy bike, too!
**[04:21] Mom**
And...
**[04:22] Mom**
This, too.
**[04:24] Mom**
The sun can get in your eyes
when you ride, right?
**[04:28] Mom**
So I bought you this!
**[04:30] Aoyagi**
Best...
**[04:31] Koga**
...Boy?
**[04:32] Mom**
Not to worry!
**[04:33] Mom**
I have enough for everyone!
**[04:37] Mom**
If you wear those, you'll recognize
your teammates even from afar.
**[04:41] Mom**
It's a great idea, don't you think?
**[04:44] Naruko**
Y-Yes.
**[04:47] Mom**
I'm sorry.
**[04:49] Mom**
I only have five left.
**[04:51] Mom**
When we got here...
**[04:53] (Flashback) Fb_Mom**
Oh, dear! Where is the annex?
**[04:56] (Flashback) Fb_Mom**
This one is so nice...
**[04:59] (Flashback) Fb_Mom**
Excuse me! Could you give
us some directions?
**[05:03] (Flashback) Fb_Manami**
Oh, the annex is down this road.
**[05:07] (Flashback) Fb_Manami**
It's dark, so drive carefully.
**[05:10] (Flashback) Fb_Mom**
You're such a nice boy!
**[05:13] (Flashback) Fb_Mom**

work hard this year, too.
**[05:40] (Flashback) Fb_Onoda**
I-I'm going to race again at the Inter-High.
**[05:45] (Flashback) Fb_Onoda**
I'm going to Nikkou for three days.
**[05:49] Mom**
You worked so hard last year,
**[05:52] Mom**
but if you work too hard,
you might burn yourself out.
**[05:56] Mom**
I was worried you'd say you wanted to quit.
**[06:05] Mom**
Live up to their expectations.
**[06:11] Onoda**
Right.
**[06:15] Mom**
I went to the Toshogu Shrine.
**[06:17] Onoda**
You just said that!
**[06:19] Mom**
I prayed...
**[06:23] Mom**
...that you would reach the goal
for these three days.
**[06:31] Int_Onoda**
Goal...
**[06:34] Onoda**
Yes, thanks!
**[06:37] Mom**
You seem a little more reliable
than you were last year.
**[06:42] Mom**
You third-years,
please take care of Sakamichi!
**[06:45] _Both**
Sure.
**[06:45] Mom**
Work hard in your anime club!
**[06:47] Aoyagi**
We're the cycling club.
**[06:49] Mom**
Do you sing anime songs out loud, too?
**[06:52] Aoyagi**
No, I don't.

Okay, do your best!

**[07:08] Naruko**
It's a long way off.
**[07:10] Naruko**
We can't let our guard down, right, Onoda-kun?
**[07:17] Onoda**
Yeah!
**[07:19] Naruko**
Let's put our hearts into it!
**[07:26] Manami**
This is really cool.
**[07:28] Manami**
She has exquisite taste.
**[07:31] Manami**
It'll come in handy, eh?
**[07:34] Manami**
She was at the finish line last year.

I'll overcome every one of those flies.
**[09:50] Midosuji**
No matter what!
**[09:55] Int_Yamaguchi**
Where... Where is Midousuji?
**[09:58] Int_Yamaguchi**
He did something like this last year.
**[10:00] (Flashback) Fb_Midosuji**
Sorry, but I'm quitting the
Kyoto Fushimi Bicycle Club today.
**[10:07] Int_Yamaguchi**
I thought Ishigaki-san would handle it,
that it wasn't my responsibility.
**[10:16] Yamaguchi**
Midousuji!
**[10:21] Int_Yamaguchi**
But now that I'm a third-year, I understand.
**[10:24] Int_Yamaguchi**
Without that monster Midousuji,
our team would crumble in an instant.
**[10:30] Int_Yamaguchi**
Ishigaki-san was doing his best
to keep us afloat.
**[10:34] Int_Yamaguchi**
All alone.
**[10:37] Int_Yamaguchi**
Ishigaki-san entrusted me...
**[10:41] (Flashback) Fb_Ishigaki**
Yama, you have to be
Midousuji's conscience.
**[10:45] Int_Yamaguchi**
This is crazy, and I don't know if I can
handle things like Ishigaki-san did.
**[10:49] Int_Yamaguchi**
But...
**[10:51] Int_Yamaguchi**
I'm going to find Midousuji.
**[10:53] Int_Yamaguchi**
Then...
**[10:54] Fant_Yamaguchi**
We're going to ride together tomorrow.
Come back, Midousuji!
**[10:58] Int_Yamaguchi**
That's what I'll tell him.
**[11:10] Funatsu**
That's your strategy?
**[11:12] Mizuta**
That's right.
**[11:13] Mizuta**
Kiriya, Funatsu, you two have to catch
everyone who breaks away from the pack!
**[11:19] Kiriya**
Uh, that's easier said than done.
**[11:20] Funatsu**
Catching all of them would be impossible.
**[11:23] Mizuta**
You'll do it!
**[11:24] Int_Mizuta**

**[11:35] Funatsu**

**[11:37] Midosuji**
What do you think you're doing?

You aren't the leader.
**[11:48] Midosuji**
Y-Yes, Midousuji-kun!
**[11:53] Int_Kiriya**
Kishigami!
**[11:54] Int_Funatsu**
Where has he been?
**[11:57] Int_Kiriya**
He was on the reserves list at first,
but was later given a spot in the Inter-High.
**[12:01] Int_Kiriya**
And at the end of day one, he caught up
to the leading pack like it was nothing.
**[12:05] Int_Funatsu**
He's the biggest unknown here...
Kishigami Komari.
**[12:10] Kishigami**
What is it?
**[12:11] Kiriya**
N-Nothing.
**[12:11] Midosuji**
Huh? I can't understand you.
**[12:13] Funatsu**
We were wondering where you've been.
**[12:15] Kishigami**
Ah.
**[12:21] Int_Both**
You're not going to answer?!
**[12:26] Yamaguchi**
Huh? I see.
**[12:28] Yamaguchi**
Okay, I'll head back.

Maybe he was just riding
to blow off some steam.

**[14:57] Int_Izumida**
Doubashi's sprint, Manami's mountain climb,
**[15:01] Int_Izumida**
and Yuki's sacrificial run
helped us achieve victory.

Oh, there it is.

Thank goodness.

They say everyone who goes to see you after
hearing the rumors doesn't recognize you,

Wow, it's a cool guy!
**[17:27] Shinkai**
Click.

**[18:00] Shinkai**
I came to the Inter-High to challenge you.
**[18:05] Shinkai**
I was ordered to stop you if you made
a move in the mountains yesterday.
**[18:09] Shinkai**
Unfortunately, I didn't get the chance.
**[18:13] Shinkai**
Let's race at some point today.
**[18:18] Onoda**
R-Race?
**[18:19] Shinkai**
Is your answer yes, Mountain King?
**[18:26] Onoda**
"Mountain King"?
**[18:28] Shinkai**
It's your nickname.
**[18:30] Onoda**
Nickname?
**[18:32] (Flashback) Fb_Makishima**
My nickname is the Peak Spider!
**[18:39] Onoda**
A nickname? For me?
**[18:42] Onoda**
That's great news! Mountain King, you said?
**[18:45] Onoda**
Is that like "see-king" mountains to climb?
**[18:49] Onoda**
That's not bad at all!
**[18:51] Onoda**
But, an animal... A name with a
bug in it would have been nice.
**[18:56] Shinkai**
No, the supreme king of the mountain,
the ruler of its peak.
**[19:02] Onoda**
The king?
**[19:05] Int_Onoda**
Mountain King?
**[19:07] Shinkai**
You're strong.
**[19:10] Shinkai**
Even yesterday, you broke through
several teams, climbed the mountain,
**[19:15] Shinkai**
and caught up to the leading pack at the end.
**[19:18] Onoda**
N-No, Imaizumi-kun just said I could go.
**[19:21] Onoda**
And Teshima-san helped me, too.
**[19:23] Onoda**
I didn't do anything that great.
**[19:25] Onoda**
It was really a team effort...
**[19:26] Int_Shinkai**
So this is the Mountain King.
**[19:28] Int_Shinkai**
A truly self-unaware climber.

**[19:54] Onoda**
Um, Shinkai-kun....
**[19:57] Shinkai**
Oh, yeah. You didn't give me
an answer to my challenge.
**[20:00] Shinkai**
It's "yes," right?
**[20:02] Onoda**
Oh, not that.
**[20:03] Onoda**
Do you have a nickname, too?
**[20:09] Shinkai**
Yes, I do. It's not that famous yet, though.
**[20:19] Shinkai**
The Peak Hornet.
**[20:24] Onoda**
Peak... Hornet?
**[20:29] Shinkai**
It'll hurt if I sting you.
**[20:35] Naruko**
Onoda-kun, time to go!
**[20:37] Imaizumi**
We'll lose our warm-up time.
**[20:39] Onoda**
Oh, right.
**[20:43] Int_Onoda**
Shinkai Yuto-kun... He seems strong.
**[20:49] Int_Onoda**
Sorry, Shinkai-kun, but I can't race you.
**[20:54] Int_Onoda**
Teshima-san told me this morning.
**[20:57] (Flashback) Fb_Teshima**
We don't have a single second
to spare in today's race!
**[21:01] (Flashback) Fb_Teshima**
All six of us will ride...
**[21:04] (Flashback) Fb_Teshima**
for the second day of the Inter-High!
**[21:07] Announcer**
Five minutes until the race starts!
**[21:10] Announcer**
All of the racers are lined up
at the starting line.
**[21:13] Guy**
Good luck!
**[21:14] Announcer**
The strongest contenders must be this team!
**[21:17] Announcer**
They won all of the colored tags yesterday
**[21:20] Announcer**
and restored their title
as champions, Hakone Academy!
**[21:22] Announcer**
Next are two teams which came
close but could not prevail,
**[21:25] Announcer**
Sohoku High School and Kyoto Fushimi.
**[21:29] Announcer**
All of the teams are focusing on today!
**[21:36] Onoda**
The Inter-High's second day race
is about to begin!
**[23:13] Kuroda**
Ow...
**[23:17] Manami**
Here!
**[23:18] Kuroda**
That hurts! Knock it off!
**[23:20] Kuroda**
Don't laugh!
**[23:23] Ashikiba**
Yuki-chan, you need to
soak up to your shoulders.
**[23:26] Izumida**
Yuki, you must relieve your fatigue
so you can race tomorrow.
**[23:30] Kuroda**
Hey... stop!
**[23:30] Ashikiba**
It'll feel good!

Kaburagi, how are you feeling?

Huh? What was that?
**[00:22] Kaburagi**
I can't hear anything over the crowd!
**[00:26] Teshima**
You seem pretty nervous.
**[00:28] Kaburagi**
Nervous?
**[00:29] Kaburagi**
About the Inter-High?
**[00:31] Kaburagi**
As if!
**[00:33] Teshima**
Your anger's misplaced...
**[00:35] Sakamichi**
I-Is Kaburagi-kun okay?
**[00:38] Aoyagi**
He collapsed yesterday.
**[00:40] Aoyagi**
He's experienced firsthand that the
Inter-High is bigger than he thought.
**[00:46] (Flashback) Kaburagi**
I'm pathetic.
**[00:51] (Flashback) Kaburagi**
I can't believe I collapsed.
**[00:53] (Flashback) Kaburagi**
Damn it.
**[00:54] (Flashback) Aoyagi**
I thought you didn't need to worry.
**[00:57] (Flashback) Aoyagi**
Isn't God on your side?
**[00:59] (Flashback) Kaburagi**
Yeah, but...
**[01:01] Aoyagi**
*He's not denying it.*
**[01:03] Aoyagi**
Kaburagi...
**[01:04] Kaburagi**
Huh? What was that, Aoyagi?
**[01:06] Teshima**
Hey, watch your mouth.
**[01:09] Aoyagi**
These are for you.
**[01:11] Kaburagi**
G-God's stationery?
**[01:13] Kaburagi**
Why do you have those?
**[01:14] Kaburagi**
So many of them, too!
**[01:16] Kaburagi**
Please...
**[01:17] Kaburagi**
Aoyagi.
**[01:17] Kaburagi**
Give those...
**[01:18] Kaburagi**
...to me!
**[01:19] Kaburagi**
What's your problem? Aren't they for me?
**[01:21] Aoyagi**
I was told to give them to
you at the appropriate time.
**[01:23] Kaburagi**
What does "appropriate" mean?
**[01:25] Both**
He's an idiot.
**[01:26] Aoyagi**
It means under the right circumstances.
**[01:30] Aoyagi**
First, calm yourself.
**[01:39] Kaburagi**
Got it!
**[01:42] All**
Aoyagi-san tamed Kaburagi!
**[01:45] Kaburagi**
I've regained my composure.
**[01:47] Aoyagi**
Good.
**[01:49] Kaburagi**
Now, give me the notes.
**[01:51] Aoyagi**
I'll give them to you if you follow me.
**[01:53] Kaburagi**
You cheapskate, Aoyagi!
**[01:54] Teshima**
You mean, "Aoyagi-san."
**[01:55] Kaburagi**
Sorry.
**[01:58] Aoyagi**
Follow me. Don't fall behind.
**[02:00] Kaburagi**
Piece of cake.

I'm here, Naruko.
**[04:14] Teshima**
The Inter-High follows special rules.
**[04:16] Teshima**
We start in the order we finished.
**[04:18] Teshima**
Yesterday we finished three minutes
and 15 seconds after first.
**[04:22] Teshima**
Today we start three minutes
and 15 seconds behind.
**[04:26] Sakamichi**
Yes, sir.
**[04:27] Kaburagi**
Why are you stopping me?
**[04:29] Kaburagi**
They already left!
**[04:31] Kaburagi**
Let's go! Aoyagi, come on!
**[04:33] Aoyagi**
How many times did I tell you we
start in the order we finished?

What?

Kaburagi-kun...
**[04:39] Teshima**
Onoda...
**[04:41] Teshima**
Before we start, I should thank you
for rescuing me in the mountains.
**[04:46] Teshima**
Thanks to you, I'm here to see this sight.
**[04:48] Ref**
Starting in ten seconds.
**[04:50] Teshima**
Just seeing this makes my hair stand on end.
**[04:51] Ref**
Nine, eight, seven, six...
**[04:53] Teshima**
This view from the second
day's starting line.
**[04:56] Ref**
Five, four, three, two, one!
**[05:00] Teshima**
Cycling really is the best.
**[05:04] Sakamichi**
Yes, sir!
**[05:11] Manami**
Huh?
**[05:12] Manami**
You're back, Teshima-san.
**[05:15] Teshima**
Hey, Manami.
**[05:16] Manami**
You were exhausted.
**[05:18] Teshima**
And who did that to me?
**[05:21] Teshima**
I recovered as only an ordinary man can.
**[05:24] Teshima**
Recovery is key in multi-stage races.
**[05:27] Manami**
I'm excited to see how you do.
**[05:30] Sakamichi**
Manami-kun seems happy.
**[05:32] Sakamichi**
Yesterday they fought, gave everything
they had, and came to understand each other.
**[05:37] Sakamichi**
Yesterday morning, they'd never
even spoken before.
**[05:41] Sakamichi**
Bicycles brought them together.
**[05:43] Sakamichi**
Manami-kun is happy Teshima-san
has returned to the race.
**[05:48] Sakamichi**
Bicycles really are amazing!
**[05:51] Sakamichi**
Let's go.
**[05:52] Sakamichi**
I don't know what will happen next,
**[05:55] Sakamichi**
but I'll follow this road to
the second day's finish line...
**[05:58] Sakamichi**
By the strength of all six of us!
**[06:03] Teshima**
The race has started!
**[06:04] Teshima**
Does everyone remember their orders?
**[06:06] All**
Yes, sir!
**[06:08] (Flashback) Teshima**
Let's go over the second day's course.
**[06:10] (Flashback) Teshima**
The race starts at yesterday's finish line.
**[06:13] (Flashback) Teshima**
We'll ride north on National Route 120,
**[06:16] (Flashback) Teshima**
which cuts through Senjougahara
at 1,400 meters above sea level.
**[06:19] (Flashback) Teshima**
The long, winding climb begins shortly
after the starting line,
**[06:23] (Flashback) Teshima**
and rises to approximately 1,800 meters.
**[06:25] (Flashback) Teshima**
The road leads to the Konsei Pass
and the Konsei Tunnel.
**[06:29] (Flashback) Teshima**
After clearing the pass,
we'll enter a long downhill.
**[06:34] (Flashback) Teshima**
Past the ski slope and lake is
a downhill-sloping flat road.
**[06:38] (Flashback) Teshima**
We'll pass by the scenic Fukiware Falls,
**[06:41] (Flashback) Teshima**
through Numata City where
Route 120 ends, then keep on riding.
**[06:46] (Flashback) Teshima**
It's the longest stage of the three-day race.
**[06:50] (Flashback) Teshima**
Imaizumi, meet up with Naruko immediately.
**[06:52] (Flashback) Both**
Yes, sir.
**[06:53] (Flashback) Teshima**
The rest of us will follow.
**[06:56] (Flashback) Teshima**
The mountains begin shortly after we start.
**[06:58] (Flashback) Teshima**
Onoda...
**[07:00] (Flashback) Teshima**
Climb as hard as you can and
catch up to Imaizumi and Naruko!
**[07:03] (Flashback) Onoda**
Yes, sir!
**[07:05] (Flashback) Onoda**
Those are practically the
same orders I got last year.
**[07:10] (Flashback) Teshima**
To be honest, Sohoku is barely hanging on.
**[07:13] (Flashback) Teshima**
But we have two advantages
going into the second day.
**[07:19] Fan 1**
It's the leading pack!
**[07:21] Fan 2**
Two Sohoku riders are in front!
**[07:24] (Flashback) Teshima**
First, we have two guys in the front.
**[07:26] (Flashback) Teshima**
Imaizumi and Naruko had nearly
the same times yesterday.
**[07:30] (Flashback) Teshima**
They'll be able to meet up immediately.
**[07:32] (Flashback) Teshima**
Together, they'll be able to
keep the other teams in check.
**[07:36] (Flashback) Teshima**
And if they use a rotation,
they can conserve their strength.
**[07:39] (Flashback) Teshima**
In other words, we can move
the front at our own pace.
**[07:44] Naruko**
Now this makes it easy to ride.
**[07:46] Naruko**
Try to catch up quickly, Teshima-san!
**[07:49] (Flashback) Teshima**
The other advantage is...
**[07:53] Sakamichi**
We've entered the mountains!
**[07:55] Sakamichi**
I'm moving up!
**[07:56] Teshima**
We're counting on you, Onoda!
**[07:59] (Flashback) Teshima**
Our other advantage isn't certain.
**[08:02] (Flashback) Teshima**
It depends on what Hakone Academy does.
**[08:04] (Flashback) Teshima**
If Hakone Academy slows its pace
when we enter the mountains,
**[08:07] (Flashback) Teshima**
move up and pedal as hard as you can.
**[08:10] (Flashback) Teshima**
It'll be our chance to get
ahead of Hakone Academy.
**[08:14] Sakamichi**
Hakone Academy isn't slowing down.
**[08:16] Teshima**
Not yet.
**[08:17] Kaburagi**
Teshima-san, weren't your
orders this morning too vague?
**[08:22] Kaburagi**
Move up if Hakone Academy slows down?
**[08:24] Kaburagi**
Why would they ever do that?
**[08:29] Sakamichi**
Hakone Academy is accelerating!
**[08:31] Teshima**
Don't fall behind, Onoda!
**[08:32] Sakamichi**
Yes, sir!
**[08:37] Teshima**
If we fall behind now,
having two riders in front
**[08:40] Teshima**
and our other chances will go up in smoke!
**[08:50] Sakamichi**
Hakone Academy is accelerating again!
**[08:52] Teshima**
Don't let them get away, Onoda!
**[08:53] Sakamichi**
Yes, sir!
**[08:57] Teshima**
Soon. They'll slow down soon.
**[09:01] Teshima**
That's what I would do.
**[09:03] Teshima**
We need to make them slow down!
**[09:05] Teshima**
Try to get ahead of Hakone Academy,
even if it's just for a second!
**[09:07] Teshima**
Once we make it past that turn...
**[09:11] Teshima**
Pull as hard as you can!
**[09:12] Sakamichi**
Yes, sir!
**[09:25] Sakamichi**
They...
**[09:26] Teshima**
They slowed down!
**[09:29] Kaburagi**
You can't be serious!
**[09:30] Kaburagi**
What's going on? Are they already exhausted?
**[09:32] Aoyagi**
No!
**[09:33] Teshima**
Go, Onoda!
**[09:34] Teshima**
Now's our chance to get ahead!
**[09:36] Sakamichi**
Yes, sir!
**[09:37] Kaburagi**
They actually slowed down.
**[09:39] Teshima**
It's what I would do.
**[09:41] Teshima**
Hakone Academy has one more,
Kuroda, left on their team!
**[09:45] Teshima**
Kuroda didn't move for a while after
he fell before the finish line.
**[09:50] Teshima**
He finished after we did.
**[09:54] Teshima**
Kuroda is part of Hakone
Academy's chain of command.
**[09:57] Teshima**
They'll want him to ride with them.
**[09:59] Kaburagi**
Wow...
**[10:01] Teshima**
That's how I knew they would slow down.
**[10:03] Teshima**
If we pass Hakone Academy
and keep up this pace,
**[10:05] Teshima**
Sohoku will have an overwhelming advantage!
**[10:08] Sakamichi**
Amazing.
**[10:09] Sakamichi**
The first day's results
have given us an advantage.
**[10:14] Kaburagi**
I thought they were exhausted.
**[10:22] Kaburagi**
Whoops!
**[10:24] Kaburagi**
I spaced out.
**[10:25] Kaburagi**
I could never fall behind here.
**[10:31] Sakamichi**
Teshima-san, is this pace okay?
**[10:35] Sakamichi**
We'll be able to group up
with the others soon.
**[10:37] Teshima**
Yeah. Keep it up, Onoda!
**[10:45] Kaburagi**
Huh? What?
**[10:52] Teshima**
Onoda, let's switch.
**[10:53] Onoda**
Yes, sir.
**[10:58] Teshima**
We can stay ahead of them while
they're picking up Kuroda!
**[11:01] Teshima**
Let's get our team together before they do!
**[11:03] Sakamichi**
Yes, sir!
**[11:04] Teshima**
What's wrong, Kaburagi?
**[11:06] Teshima**
I can't hear you!
**[11:07] Teshima**
Are you keeping—
**[11:11] Kaburagi**
What is it?
**[11:14] Kaburagi**
I answered.
**[11:16] Kaburagi**
We're headed for the front, right?
**[11:18] Kaburagi**
Let's get ahead of
Hakone Academy and that pig.
**[11:21] Teshima**
All right. I like your enthusiasm.
**[11:23] Teshima**
It'll be hard, but make sure you keep up.
**[11:26] Kaburagi**
Who do you think you're talking to?
**[11:28] Kaburagi**
I'm the genius all-rounder Kaburagi Issa!
**[11:31] Teshima**
Sounds promising.
**[11:35] Kaburagi**
That was close.
**[11:36] Kaburagi**
I couldn't keep up with the pace we're
keeping to pull ahead of Hakone Academy.
**[11:40] Kaburagi**
Someone as great as me...
**[11:43] Kaburagi**
Maybe I'm not in top shape.
**[11:46] Kaburagi**
I feel out of sync.
**[11:47] Kaburagi**
I did earlier, too.
**[11:49] (Flashback) Kaburagi**
Huh? What?
**[11:52] (Flashback) Kaburagi**
What?
**[11:53] (Flashback) Kaburagi**
Why are my feet on the ground?
**[11:55] (Flashback) Kaburagi**
I can't get left behind here.
**[11:57] (Flashback) Kaburagi**
This isn't good.
**[11:58] Kaburagi**
* I'm Kaburagi Issa, the man who*
* will make Sohoku stronger.*
**[12:02] Kaburagi**
* I'm secretly aiming to stand on the*
* highest point of the final winner's podium.*
**[12:08] (Flashback) Kaburagi**
Damn it!
**[12:14] Kaburagi**
It's so tough, I couldn't
respond to Teshima-san.
**[12:18] Aoyagi**
Are you keeping up?
**[12:20] Aoyagi**
It seemed like you were falling behind.
**[12:22] Kaburagi**
What? You must be seeing things!
**[12:24] Kaburagi**
Are you sure you don't need glasses?
**[12:25] Aoyagi**
I see.
**[12:29] Kaburagi**
I'm glad Aoyagi-san's an idiot.
**[12:31] Kaburagi**
I just have to make it
to the top of the pass.
**[12:34] Kaburagi**
Keep at it. You'll be okay.
**[12:37] Kaburagi**
They won't be able to group up with
third-year Kuroda that quickly, anyway.
**[12:44] Rider 1**
Hakone Academy's fallen back to the pack?
**[12:47] Rider 2**
What's going on?
**[12:47] Rider 2**
Is someone not feeling well?
**[12:49] Rider 3**
Doesn't look that way to me.
**[12:52] Rider 4**
Are they waiting for #12 so their
whole team can ride together?
**[12:55] Rider 5**
So they slowed down and
fell back to the pack?
**[13:00] Izumida**
Everyone's here now.
**[13:02] Izumida**
Let's go.
**[13:03] Izumida**
Abs ready...
**[13:05] Izumida**
Go!
**[13:06] Rider 3**
Hakone Academy's charging ahead!
**[13:08] Rider 3**
They're fast!
**[13:08] Rider 4**
There's still only five of them,
but it's like all six of them are there!
**[13:13] Rider 6**
The second day's going to get crazy.
**[13:15] Rider 6**
Sohoku's trying to stay ahead as four!
**[13:17] Rider 6**
Hakone Academy's chasing from behind as five!
**[13:23] Kaburagi**
I'm okay now. I've gotten used to the pace.
**[13:26] Kaburagi**
I won't fall behind.
**[13:28] Kaburagi**
I just have to keep climbing.
**[13:33] Kaburagi**
Please slow down a little...
**[13:36] Aoyagi**
Are you okay, Kaburagi?
**[13:37] Aoyagi**
You look pale.
**[13:39] Kaburagi**
What? I'm fine.
**[13:41] Kaburagi**
Maybe it's the light.
**[13:42] Kaburagi**
Seriously, I'm great.
**[13:45] Kaburagi**
Piece of cake.
**[13:48] Kaburagi**
I can't say it.
**[13:50] Kaburagi**
I can't ask them to lower the pace.
**[13:53] Kaburagi**
It would be too lame.
**[13:56] Kuroda**
Sorry, Touichirou.
**[13:58] Izumida**
We only did what made sense, Yuki.
**[14:01] Izumida**
We're stronger this way!
**[14:03] Manami**
Welcome back, Kuroda-san.
**[14:05] Kuroda**
Thanks, Manami. Have you been good?
**[14:07] Doubashi**
Don't drawl.
**[14:09] Doubashi**
You're not serious enough, Manami.
**[14:12] Izumida**
It's rising.
**[14:13] Izumida**
Just having Yuki around
raises the team's morale.
**[14:17] Izumida**
Think you've gotten ahead of us, Teshima-kun?
**[14:21] Izumida**
Did you think you'd have an
advantage if you caught up first?
**[14:26] Izumida**
Too bad.
**[14:28] Izumida**
You're not the ones who will
catch up to the front first.
**[14:32] Izumida**
Calm down, Frank.
**[14:34] Izumida**
It's a long ten-kilometer
climb to the Konsei Pass.
**[14:38] Izumida**
How long can you stay ahead?
**[14:40] Izumida**
Or...
**[14:43] Izumida**
Soon?
**[14:49] Kaburagi**
Damn, no way! Hakone Academy?
**[14:51] Kaburagi**
No! No!
**[14:54] Kaburagi**
Kaburagi Issa, you left
Hakone Academy behind!
**[14:57] Kaburagi**
Don't let them pass you!
**[15:01] Kaburagi**
What am I doing? What am I doing?
**[15:04] Kaburagi**
*Damn it.*
**[15:05] Kaburagi**
* I suddenly felt tired and*
* fell behind the team.*
**[15:08] Kaburagi**
* I only meant to rest for a second,*
* but I stepped off my bike and stopped.*
**[15:13] Kaburagi**
If I get left behind Hakone Academy,
my race will be over!
**[15:17] Kaburagi**
No!
**[15:19] Kaburagi**
It's not over yet!
**[15:22] Kaburagi**
Crap! This isn't good!
**[15:24] Kaburagi**
That's what my instincts are telling me!
**[15:26] Kaburagi**
I don't have time to worry
about Sohoku or Hakone Academy.
**[15:29] Kaburagi**
Jump on the wheel in front of you.
**[15:31] Kaburagi**
Then you'll make it to the front.
**[15:36] Kaburagi**
I can do it!
**[15:40] Kaburagi**
The pig's wheel...
**[15:48] Kaburagi**
I have a request, pig.
**[15:50] Kaburagi**
Take me to the front.
**[15:54] Kaburagi**
I'm your enemy.
**[15:55] Kaburagi**
I know you don't like having me behind you.
**[15:57] Kaburagi**
But...
**[15:58] Kaburagi**
I don't want it to end yet!
**[16:01] Kaburagi**
Let me ride here.
**[16:03] Kaburagi**
Please, pig!
**[16:07] Doubashi**
That's your pride?
**[16:10] Doubashi**
Sticking to your opponent's behind like crap,
**[16:14] Doubashi**
you want an easy ride to the best part,
so you can fight against us?
**[16:19] Doubashi**
Does your pride permit that?
**[16:22] Kaburagi**
No! Of course not!
**[16:25] Kaburagi**
But this is the only way!
**[16:27] Kaburagi**
I don't want to do this!
**[16:28] Kaburagi**
But my limbs are numb and won't
move the way I want them to!
**[16:32] Kaburagi**
I want to keep riding in the Inter-High!
**[16:34] Kaburagi**
Please!
**[16:38] Doubashi**
Then don't bother.
**[16:39] Doubashi**
You wouldn't be able to keep up
with Hakone Academy's pace anyway.
**[16:45] Doubashi**
You're a first-year, right?
**[16:47] Doubashi**
I'm a second-year.
**[16:48] Doubashi**
We'll race again next year
in a head-to-head battle!
**[16:53] Kaburagi**
Hey, wait!
**[16:55] Kaburagi**
Wait, pig!
**[16:58] Doubashi**
Bowing your head to your enemy,
**[17:00] Doubashi**
abandoning your pride, and frantically
searching for a lifeline...
**[17:04] Doubashi**
I don't mind guys like you.
**[17:08] Yuto**
#6, Sohoku's Kaburagi Issa, has fallen.
**[17:11] Izumida**
Yeah.
**[17:13] Izumida**
It only took a second.
**[17:17] Sakamichi**
Kabu...
**[17:20] Teshima**
I was so focused on catching up,
I didn't notice.
**[17:24] Teshima**
How long?
**[17:25] Teshima**
How long has Kaburagi been missing?
**[17:28] Teshima**
Did he fall behind on the way here?
**[17:31] Teshima**
What are you doing, Teshima Junta?
**[17:33] Sakamichi**
M-Maybe there's something
wrong with his bike.
**[17:36] Sakamichi**
Like a flat tire.
**[17:37] Teshima**
No, then he'd shout.
**[17:39] Teshima**
We've done it countless times in practice.
**[17:41] Teshima**
I told him to report any issues.
**[17:44] Sakamichi**
M-Maybe he's not feeling well.
**[17:48] Sakamichi**
But during this morning's meeting...
**[17:51] (Flashback) Teshima**
It'll affect our strategy.
**[17:53] (Flashback) Teshima**
Notify me if you don't feel well.
**[17:57] (Flashback) Kaburagi**
Piece of cake.
**[17:59] Teshima**
He likes to show off.
**[18:02] Teshima**
He was just acting fine in front of us.
**[18:05] Sakamichi**
He could've told me or Imaizumi-kun...
**[18:10] Teshima**
Koga said lone first-years try to take on
everything themselves at the Inter-High.
**[18:17] Sakamichi**
Koga-san...
**[18:19] Teshima**
Not having a classmate you can talk to
and being a first-year on top of that
**[18:26] Teshima**
puts an incredible amount of pressure on you.
**[18:29] Teshima**
So much is expected of them.
**[18:30] Teshima**
They're given orders, made to fight in
an Inter-High they know nothing about,
**[18:34] Teshima**
and pushed to their physical
and mental limits.
**[18:37] Teshima**
But they still desperately work
to meet expectations.
**[18:42] (Flashback) Koga**
That's how it is.
**[18:44] (Flashback) Koga**
They're so overwhelmed,
they don't listen to their own bodies.
**[18:48] (Flashback) Koga**
They only notice later,
once they've suffered damage.
**[18:51] (Flashback) Koga**
Just like I did.
**[18:53] (Flashback) Koga**
Watch Kaburagi closely.
**[18:57] (Flashback) Koga**
He's a reckless idiot.
**[19:00] (Flashback) Koga**
He's just like I used to be.
**[19:03] Sakamichi**
When Koga-san was a first-year, he...
**[19:07] Teshima**
After everything Koga said,
**[19:10] Teshima**
I took my eyes off him during a moment as
important as the start of the second day.
**[19:14] Teshima**
What am I doing?
**[19:16] Sakamichi**
As a first-year, Kaburagi-kun was
doing the best he could on his own.
**[19:21] Sakamichi**
In that case...
**[19:24] Sakamichi**
We have to go help him!
**[19:27] Sakamichi**
Let me help him, Teshima-san!
**[19:28] Sakamichi**
I'll drop back and bring
him back to the team!
**[19:31] Teshima**
Don't go, Onoda!
**[19:36] Teshima**
Don't. You can't fall back.
**[19:38] Teshima**
I won't allow you to help him.
**[19:39] Sakamichi**
What?
**[19:40] Teshima**
We'll catch up to the front.
**[19:42] Teshima**
That's our top priority!
**[19:45] Teshima**
We were lucky to get ahead
of Hakone Academy. Lucky!
**[19:49] Teshima**
We'll use this opportunity to
get our team together first!
**[19:53] Teshima**
If Hakone Academy gets all six members
together first, we won't stand a chance!
**[19:57] Sakamichi**
I'm saying I'll go alone!
**[20:00] Sakamichi**
I promise I'll bring him back!
**[20:02] Sakamichi**
So—
**[20:02] Teshima**
No!
**[20:04] Teshima**
It was the second day when you brought
Tadokoro-san back to the team last year, too.
**[20:08] Teshima**
Is that why you think you can do it?
**[20:10] Teshima**
It's different now, Onoda.
Get that through your head.
**[20:14] Teshima**
You're in a different
position from last year.
**[20:18] Teshima**
You're #1, last year's champion!
**[20:21] Teshima**
Not having #1 leading your
team is like night and day!
**[20:27] Teshima**
Who will stop Manami if he attacks?
**[20:29] Teshima**
Who will chase after Shinkai if he attacks?
**[20:32] Teshima**
Some moves can be stopped
just by having #1 there.
**[20:35] Teshima**
You have a job to do.
**[20:38] Teshima**
You can't do what you want
like you did last year.
**[20:44] Sakamichi**
Then Kaburagi-kun...
**[20:46] Sakamichi**
Kaburagi-kun, who worked so hard
during the first day's sprint...
**[20:51] Teshima**
We'll leave him behind.
**[20:55] Sakamichi**
Let's at least wait!
**[20:56] Sakamichi**
We can drop our pace,
so Kaburagi-kun can catch up!
**[20:59] Teshima**
We can't.
**[21:00] Sakamichi**
We can!
**[21:00] Teshima**
No. We can't, Onoda.
**[21:04] Teshima**
Look. Hakone Academy's right behind us!
**[21:12] Teshima**
Sorry, Kaburagi.
**[21:14] Teshima**
You worked so hard on the
first day as a first-year.
**[21:19] Teshima**
We'll catch up to the rest of the team!
**[21:20] Teshima**
Eyes forward, everyone!
**[21:23] Sakamichi**
Hakone Academy passed Kaburagi-kun.
**[21:27] Sakamichi**
He must be in pretty bad shape.
**[21:29] Sakamichi**
I need to go help him.
**[21:31] Sakamichi**
But I can't.
**[21:32] Teshima**
Face forward!
**[21:34] Sakamichi**
Yes, sir.
**[21:35] Aoyagi**
Junta, I just remembered
I have something to do.
**[21:40] Aoyagi**
Can I drop back?
**[21:45] Aoyagi**
I forgot an idiot behind us.
**[23:26] Doubashi**
Shut up!

Junta, I just remembered
I have something to do.
**[00:06] Aoyagi**
Can I drop back?
**[00:11] Aoyagi**
I forgot an idiot behind us.
**[00:15] Teshima**
You can't! Hakone Academy is approaching!
**[00:17] Teshima**
We can't lose anyone else!
**[00:20] Aoyagi**
I promise, I'll bring him back.
***SIGN*** Yowamushi Pedal

**[01:53] Teshima**
I'm telling you not to
because you can't, Aoyagi!
***SIGN*** LINE.09 Sash of Wishes
**[01:57] Teshima**
You must understand.
**[01:58] Teshima**
Makishima-san must've said the
same thing to Onoda last year.
**[02:03] Teshima**
Dropping back is easy.
**[02:05] Teshima**
But bringing someone back with
you takes twice as much strength.
**[02:10] Teshima**
It's a gamble.
**[02:12] Teshima**
And we're 1,800 meters up in the mountains.
**[02:16] Teshima**
You're a sprinter. You can't do it.
**[02:19] Teshima**
Letting you go back to save him now
**[02:22] Teshima**
would be the same as losing two
members of our six-man team.
**[02:27] Aoyagi**
We'll be stronger with all six of us.
**[02:32] Aoyagi**
I'm bringing him back.
**[02:34] Teshima**
Aoyagi, I can give you about seven more
reasons why your choice is reckless.
**[02:40] Teshima**
Wanna hear them?
**[02:42] Aoyagi**
No, I'm good.
**[02:45] Teshima**
You're going, then?
**[02:46] Aoyagi**
I'm going.
**[02:51] Teshima**
Then this is goodbye.
**[02:55] Sakamichi**
A-Aoyagi-san...
**[02:57] Sakamichi**
You're going to rescue Kaburagi-kun
and come back, right?
**[03:01] Aoyagi**
There are no certainties in road racing.
**[03:04] Aoyagi**
Junta's right. This is reckless.
**[03:06] Aoyagi**
You must always be prepared
for your plans to fail.
**[03:10] Teshima**
We're third-years. This is our last race.
**[03:14] Teshima**
If you can't make it back, this will
be the last time we ride together.
***SIGN*** Certain
**[03:22] Teshima**
Thanks for riding with me these
last three years, Hajime.
**[03:27] Teshima**
Our two-man team was the greatest.
**[03:35] Aoyagi**
Yeah, Junta.
**[03:39] Both**
I made it this far because of you.
**[03:44] Teshima**
Our two-man team...
**[03:46] Teshima**
...is dissolved!
**[03:47] Sakamichi**
Aoyagi-san!
**[03:49] Aoyagi**
Don't look back, Onoda.
**[03:50] Aoyagi**
Ride with Junta and reach the
front before Hakone Academy.
**[03:54] Aoyagi**
Support Imaizumi and Naruko as best you can.
**[03:57] Sakamichi**
Yes, sir!
**[03:58] Aoyagi**
That's your job!
**[04:01] Sakamichi**
Yes!
**[04:02] Aoyagi**
Junta, tell me one last thing.
**[04:06] Aoyagi**
Those seven more reasons my choice
is reckless... Is there an eighth?
**[04:11] Teshima**
What? The eighth?
**[04:13] Teshima**
There's...
**[04:16] Teshima**
There is one.
**[04:18] Teshima**
It's a tiny shred of hope!
**[04:24] Aoyagi**
Then pray the eighth
turns out to be true, Junta!
**[04:28] Sakamichi**
Aoyagi-san's been swallowed
by Hakone Academy!
**[04:32] Teshima**
I know! Face forward!
**[04:34] Teshima**
We'll catch them first! Raise the pace!
**[04:37] Sakamichi**
Yes, sir!
**[04:39] Yuto**
Sohoku's second rider has fallen.
**[04:47] Kaburagi**
Damn it! I feel weak.
**[04:50] Kaburagi**
Why?
**[04:56] Kaburagi**
My limbs are heavy.
**[04:57] Kaburagi**
My pedals are heavy.
**[05:00] Kaburagi**
They've never felt this heavy before.
**[05:02] Kaburagi**
Come on. Come on, strength!
**[05:05] Obori**
I'm Fukuoka Josei's Obori!
**[05:09] Obori**
You were showing off during yesterday's
sprint, Sohoku's Kaburagi!
**[05:13] Obori**
And now you're mine!
**[05:14] Kaburagi**
You can't catch me!
**[05:16] Obori**
I will!
**[05:22] Teshima**
Kaburagi probably won't be able to
group up with Aoyagi right away.
**[05:26] Sakamichi**
What?
**[05:28] Teshima**
He's too far behind.
**[05:30] Teshima**
He may be trying to rescue him,
but at the very least,
**[05:33] Teshima**
Kaburagi will have to reach Aoyagi on his own.
**[05:37] Teshima**
If his spirit is broken, and he's
stopped moving, they'll never meet up.
**[05:42] Sakamichi**
B-But...
**[05:44] Teshima**
He'll be fine if someone's
there to give him a push.
**[05:48] Teshima**
But that won't happen.
**[05:50] Teshima**
Before we started, nobody noticed
that he wasn't feeling well.
**[05:57] Kaburagi**
What am I going to do?
**[06:00] Kaburagi**
Is this the end already?
**[06:04] Koga**
Don't stop, Kaburagi!
**[06:06] Kaburagi**
Huh?
**[06:08] Koga**
Keep moving forward!
**[06:12] Koga**
Put your feet on the pedals.
**[06:14] Koga**
The race isn't over yet.
**[06:17] Kaburagi**
Koga-san?
**[06:19] Kaburagi**
Huh? What?
**[06:21] Kaburagi**
What are you doing here?
**[06:23] Kaburagi**
Did you warp here?
**[06:24] Kaburagi**
Cast a magic spell?
**[06:26] Koga**
There's no time to talk.
**[06:28] Koga**
Focus on the race.
**[06:29] Koga**
Put your feet on the pedals.
**[06:32] Koga**
Move forward, Kaburagi!
**[06:33] Koga**
Don't stop!
**[06:36] Koga**
You must always move forward in a road race.
**[06:39] Koga**
Standing still is the same as forfeiting.
**[06:42] Koga**
If you abandon the Inter-High now...
**[06:45] Koga**
I'll make sure you pay for it!
**[06:47] Kaburagi**
Crap. He's serious.
**[06:50] Kaburagi**
He wholeheartedly means
everything he's saying.
**[06:53] Kaburagi**
It has weight.
**[06:55] Kaburagi**
I can feel it all the way to my fingertips.
**[07:04] Kaburagi**
But...
**[07:06] Koga**
Move!
**[07:07] Kaburagi**
Yes, sir!
**[07:08] Koga**
No matter what happens,
keep moving forward, Kaburagi!
**[07:12] Kaburagi**
Yes!
**[07:13] (Flashback) Sugimoto**
Koga-san, the van is leaving soon.
**[07:17] (Flashback) Koga**
Go on without me.
**[07:18] (Flashback) Sugimoto**
Huh?
**[07:20] (Flashback) Koga**
I'll stay here.
**[07:21] (Flashback) Sugimoto**
What? Why do you want us
to leave without you?
**[07:25] (Flashback) Koga**
There's something bothering me.
**[07:27] (Flashback) Koga**
You take command of the feed zone, Sugimoto.
**[07:30] (Flashback) Sugimoto**
What? Wait a minute.
**[07:33] Sugimoto**
What do you...
**[07:33] Koga**
* "I've been worried about*
* Kaburagi since this morning."*
**[07:37] Koga**
* It'd be a disaster if I said that,*
* and it turned out to be true.*
**[07:41] (Flashback) Toji**
You're staying?
**[07:43] (Flashback) Koga**
I imagined the worst case scenario.
**[07:46] (Flashback) Toji**
For the team, huh?
**[07:48] (Flashback) Toji**
If you stay now, you won't
make it to the feed zone.
**[07:54] (Flashback) Koga**
Sorry for being stubborn.
**[07:59] Koga**
* Let this hike have been a*
* waste of time, Kaburagi.*
**[08:09] Koga**
But...
**[08:11] Koga**
If you can't move...
**[08:15] Koga**
Then I'll push you!
**[08:18] Kaburagi**
A short push is fine,
**[08:20] Kaburagi**
but a long push from anyone other than
another rider is against the rules.
**[08:23] Kaburagi**
I'll be penalized.
**[08:24] Koga**
Then I'll push little by little.
**[08:26] Koga**
That shouldn't be a problem.
**[08:28] Koga**
Supporting you as best we can is our job!
**[08:33] Kaburagi**
Koga-san...
**[08:35] Koga**
Sohoku still has a chance.
**[08:41] Kaburagi**
Sorry, Koga-san! Thank you!
**[08:43] Koga**
So you can say "thank you," Kaburagi.
**[08:48] Koga**
The old me thought it was natural.
**[08:51] Koga**
That Teshima and Aoyagi
were assigned to support us
**[08:54] Koga**
because they didn't work hard enough.
**[08:56] Koga**
That's not how it is.
**[08:58] Koga**
We're able to move forward
because we all support each other.
**[09:01] Koga**
Believe that you'll rejoin the team!
**[09:05] Kaburagi**
Yes, sir!
**[09:06] Koga**
Imagine yourself returning
to form as you ride!
**[09:09] Kaburagi**
Yes, sir!
**[09:10] Koga**
Keep racing and grow with
everything you've got!
**[09:16] Koga**
I know you can do it!
**[09:18] Koga**
You have the most potential!
**[09:20] Kaburagi**
Huh?
**[09:24] Kaburagi**
Yes, sir!
**[09:26] Kaburagi**
Imagine, imagine, imagine!
**[09:30] Kaburagi**
Imagine your recovery!
**[09:32] Ref**
Slow riders, please move to the left!
**[09:36] Kaburagi**
Huh?
**[09:38] Ref**
The pack is coming through!
**[09:42] Koga**
The pack...
**[09:48] Kaburagi**
The pack... passed us.
**[09:52] Koga**
In an instant...
**[09:54] Koga**
Even the pack passed him.
**[10:05] Koga**
Someone stopped!
**[10:09] Koga**
Go, Kaburagi! You can still make it!
**[10:12] Koga**
Your teammate is waiting for you!
**[10:13] Koga**
Tie your sash of wishes to his!
**[10:16] Kaburagi**
Huh?
**[10:18] Kaburagi**
He's right. I can see him.
**[10:20] Kaburagi**
He's wearing a Sohoku jersey!
**[10:25] Koga**
Go, Kaburagi!
**[10:27] Koga**
Connect that thread of hope!
**[10:34] Kaburagi**
Koga-san, thank you!
**[10:37] Koga**
Who could have imagined it?
**[10:40] Koga**
That as hands reached out to catch falling
drops of hope, some would fall through...
**[10:49] Koga**
And another hand would
reach out to catch them.
**[10:54] Kaburagi**
Thank you for waiting for me
when I'm in such bad shape.
**[11:00] Kaburagi**
Now I might be able to return to the team.
**[11:03] Kaburagi**
My Inter-High...
**[11:06] Kaburagi**
...isn't over yet!
**[11:08] Kaburagi**
Who is it? Teshima-san?
**[11:10] Kaburagi**
Onoda-san?
**[11:15] Kaburagi**
Huh?
**[11:18] Kaburagi**
Aoyagi-san?
**[11:19] Aoyagi**
That's right.
**[11:21] Kaburagi**
Seriously?
**[11:24] Kaburagi**
Aoyagi-san...
**[11:26] Kaburagi**
You were riding in front of us during
the chase, so we could reach the front.
**[11:33] Kaburagi**
But you're...
**[11:35] Aoyagi**
That's right.
**[11:36] Kaburagi**
You're a third-year.
This is your last Inter-high.
**[11:40] Kaburagi**
But you're here now, which means...
**[11:44] Aoyagi**
That's right.
**[11:47] Kaburagi**
You fell behind the team, too?
**[11:53] Kaburagi**
Did you fall behind the team, too?
**[11:56] Aoyagi**
No!
**[11:57] Aoyagi**
Can't you tell from the situation?
**[11:59] Aoyagi**
I was waiting for you!
**[12:01] Kaburagi**
The situation?
**[12:03] Aoyagi**
Wait. Why do you look like
you feel sorry for me?
**[12:06] Kaburagi**
Oh, no.
**[12:07] Kaburagi**
I understand. I get it.
**[12:10] Kaburagi**
You don't want to admit that
you fell behind the team.
**[12:14] Kaburagi**
You're desperately trying to save face.
**[12:16] Aoyagi**
Does he really not get it?
**[12:17] Aoyagi**
He doesn't get it.
**[12:19] Kaburagi**
I was hoping you were
Onoda-san or Teshima-san.
**[12:23] Aoyagi**
Who says that to someone's face?
**[12:26] Aoyagi**
It doesn't matter. Follow me.
**[12:31] Aoyagi**
Did Koga push him?
**[12:34] Aoyagi**
You're the only one on
Sohoku who saw this coming.
**[12:38] Aoyagi**
You're the greatest support
Sohoku has ever had, Kimitaka.
**[12:44] Aoyagi**
Let's go, Kaburagi!
**[12:45] Aoyagi**
We're going to reach the
team at the front together!
**[12:48] Kaburagi**
Seriously?
**[12:50] Kaburagi**
You and me?
**[12:52] Aoyagi**
That's right.
**[12:53] Aoyagi**
It'll be hard, but we'll do it.
**[12:55] Aoyagi**
So follow me. Don't fall behind.
**[13:00] Aoyagi**
No complaining.
**[13:03] Kaburagi**
Yes, sir!
**[13:04] Kaburagi**
What's with this intensity?
**[13:08] Aoyagi**
Supersonic Oxygen Muscle Climb!
**[13:15] Aoyagi**
He's falling behind.
**[13:18] Aoyagi**
He still doesn't feel well?
**[13:20] Aoyagi**
If I raise my pace,
Kaburagi will fall behind.
**[13:25] Aoyagi**
He can't do what should be easy for him.
**[13:27] Aoyagi**
What should I do?
**[13:31] Kaburagi**
You're knitting your brows.
**[13:32] Kaburagi**
You look pained, Aoyagi.
**[13:36] Kaburagi**
You called it your "Muscle Climb,"
but your pace has fallen so quickly.
**[13:41] Aoyagi**
Whose fault is that?
**[13:44] Kaburagi**
Then I don't have a choice, Aoyagi!
**[13:49] Aoyagi**
Wh-What?
**[13:52] Okutani**
See that? Sohoku's already
lost two of their riders.
**[13:55] Kawamoto**
They were doing so well yesterday.
**[13:57] Kawamoto**
Maybe they're just not that good this year.
**[14:00] Yamagiwa**
Enough, Kawamoto, Okutani.
**[14:02] Okutani**
Yamagiwa-san...
**[14:04] Yamagiwa**
#4 is trying to bring their
out-of-form #6 back to the team.
**[14:08] Okutani**
What? From back there?
**[14:10] Kawamoto**
But that's impossible.
**[14:11] Yamagiwa**
Maybe.
**[14:13] Yamagiwa**
But last year they won from #170.
**[14:19] Yamagiwa**
I think...
**[14:21] Yamagiwa**
Sohoku might be strongest
when they're facing adversity.
**[14:28] Kaburagi**
I don't have a choice!
**[14:30] Aoyagi**
What are you doing, Kaburagi?
**[14:32] Aoyagi**
Why are you pulling?
**[14:34] Aoyagi**
Fall back! I'll pull!
**[14:36] Kaburagi**
Look at you showing off and pushing yourself.
**[14:39] Kaburagi**
Fine, then.
**[14:41] Kaburagi**
I'll pull, too!
**[14:43] Aoyagi**
Hey, listen!
**[14:45] Kaburagi**
I'm fine.
**[14:47] Kaburagi**
I feel a little better now.
**[14:51] Kaburagi**
Koga-san gave me power.
**[14:55] Kaburagi**
"Grow."
**[14:56] Kaburagi**
"You have great potential."
**[14:59] Kaburagi**
You should quit showing off
and rest behind me, Aoyagi.
**[15:03] Aoyagi**
That's Aoyagi-*san *to you!
**[15:05] Aoyagi**
I'll see how he does and
move up if he drops his pace.
**[15:12] Aoyagi**
Kaburagi's still pulling.
**[15:17] Aoyagi**
Well, well. He's still pulling.
**[15:20] Kaburagi**
You're a lot of trouble, Aoyagi.
**[15:24] Aoyagi**
Huh? He's still pulling?
**[15:27] Aoyagi**
What's going on?
**[15:30] Aoyagi**
He's faster when he's pulling
than when he's being pulled.
**[15:36] Kaburagi**
Are you keeping up, Aoyagi?
**[15:39] Aoyagi**
Yeah.
**[15:40] Aoyagi**
How is this happening? But it's true.
**[15:44] Aoyagi**
I'm a little surprised, though.
**[15:46] Kaburagi**
By what? The view?
**[15:49] Aoyagi**
I've never heard of the one being
rescued pulling for his rescuer.
**[15:55] Kaburagi**
The view is nice.
**[15:59] Kaburagi**
Half of road racing is mental.
**[16:02] Kaburagi**
If your spirit is broken, it's over.
**[16:04] Kaburagi**
But if you have a goal, you can keep moving.
**[16:08] Kaburagi**
He's doing his best to
move forward to help me.
**[16:14] Kaburagi**
He's still confused, though.
**[16:17] Kaburagi**
Aoyagi, how are you feeling?
**[16:20] Aoyagi**
Like I've been saying, I feel great.
**[16:22] Kaburagi**
There you go again.
**[16:24] Kaburagi**
You can be honest with me.
**[16:27] Aoyagi**
In any case, he isn't just an idiot.
**[16:31] Aoyagi**
He's a special idiot!
**[16:35] Kaburagi**
Breathe with me!
**[16:37] Kaburagi**
Ready and...
**[16:41] Aoyagi**
This just might be...
**[16:47] Kawamoto**
But isn't one of Sohoku's
riders out of sorts?
**[16:50] Yamagiwa**
That's right. The unexpected doesn't happen.
**[16:54] Yamagiwa**
If they're able to catch up to the pack,
**[16:56] Yamagiwa**
it'll be in a style that defies common sense.
**[17:00] Rider A**
Someone's coming up from behind!
**[17:06] Rider B**
It's the two Sohoku riders!
**[17:09] Okutani**
Th-The redhead is in front!
**[17:11] Kawamoto**
Isn't it the other way around?
**[17:12] Kawamoto**
Didn't #4 go to save him?
**[17:18] Kaburagi**
I see them!
**[17:19] Kaburagi**
It's the pack that passed us earlier!
**[17:24] Kaburagi**
We caught up to them!
**[17:26] Aoyagi**
He's impressive.
**[17:28] Aoyagi**
Just by imagining he was saving me,
he pulled me until we could see the pack.
**[17:36] Kaburagi**
We're almost there!
**[17:38] Kaburagi**
Once we catch up and enter the pack,
you'll be able to rest, Aoyagi!
**[17:42] Aoyagi**
Yeah, you will.
**[17:43] Aoyagi**
Your speech has gotten really casual.
**[17:48] Kaburagi**
Let us reach them!
**[17:51] Kaburagi**
Docking!
**[17:53] Rider C**
Sohoku returned to the pack!
**[17:56] Rider D**
But they were stopped earlier! Seriously?
**[17:58] Rider E**
Who are those guys?
**[18:02] Kaburagi**
We joined the pack...
**[18:19] Aoyagi**
Did you feel exhausted for a second?
**[18:22] Kaburagi**
What? N-No.
**[18:24] Kaburagi**
I was just looking at a
rare bug on the ground.
**[18:28] Aoyagi**
What kind of bug?
**[18:29] Kaburagi**
Huh? Uh, kinda like a rhinoceros beetle or a
stag beetle. It's called a rhinostag beetle.
**[18:37] Kaburagi**
So he barely made it through the first stage.
**[18:40] Aoyagi**
I'd like to catch up to the team soon,
**[18:43] Aoyagi**
but he's still not in top shape.
**[18:45] Aoyagi**
It'll be easier for him in the pack,
where there's less air resistance.
**[18:49] Aoyagi**
I'll let him rest for a while.
**[18:51] Kaburagi**
Anyway, you should get some rest, Aoyagi.
**[18:53] Aoyagi**
Yeah, you should.
**[18:56] Aoyagi**
But...
**[18:59] Aoyagi**
Let's move up, Kaburagi!
**[19:01] Kaburagi**
Huh?
**[19:05] Aoyagi**
I get it. We're counting our opponents.
**[19:09] Kaburagi**
One, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight...
**[19:11] Aoyagi**
I don't see them.
**[19:13] Aoyagi**
Have they already left?
**[19:15] Kaburagi**
Huh?
**[19:17] Kaburagi**
Kyoto Fushimi's not in the pack.
**[19:20] Aoyagi**
His ability to sniff out his
opponents is first rate.
**[19:25] Kaburagi**
This isn't good.
**[19:28] Kaburagi**
Did I notice first?
**[19:30] Aoyagi**
That doesn't matter.
**[19:31] Kaburagi**
So you agree it was me, then?
**[19:34] Aoyagi**
They have #116 this year, too.
**[19:38] Aoyagi**
If they meet up with Midousuji...
**[19:41] Komari**
M-Muscles!
**[19:44] Aoyagi**
Sohoku will be at a massive disadvantage!
**[19:48] Aoyagi**
The other strong teams are missing, too.
**[19:51] Kaburagi**
Then we don't have time to rest, Aoyagi!
**[19:54] Aoyagi**
I could say the same thing to you.
**[19:57] Kaburagi**
We're ditching this pack, Aoyagi!
**[20:01] Rider C**
Sohoku's pulling ahead!
**[20:12] Aoyagi**
Did you see a rare bug?
**[20:17] Aoyagi**
He understands the situation,
but his body won't move.
**[20:21] Aoyagi**
He must be frustrated.
**[20:24] Aoyagi**
Did you see this coming too, Junta?
**[20:28] Sakamichi**
What? They won't be able to escape the pack?
**[20:31] Teshima**
Yeah, even if they do make it to the pack.
**[20:35] Teshima**
Leaving the pack is fairly difficult.
**[20:39] Teshima**
That's reason four of seven
that his choice was reckless.
**[20:43] Sakamichi**
Is it really impossible?
**[20:47] Teshima**
It's a different story if he's
made special preparations.
**[20:51] Sakamichi**
Special preparations?
**[20:55] Aoyagi**
Kaburagi, do you want to leave
the pack, no matter what?
**[20:59] Kaburagi**
Of course, damn it.
**[21:02] Aoyagi**
What if there was a way?
**[21:04] Kaburagi**
Huh?
**[21:06] Kaburagi**
Do you have something?
**[21:09] Aoyagi**
I wasn't expecting to use this here.
**[21:11] Kaburagi**
I'll do anything.
**[21:13] Kaburagi**
Tell me!
**[21:19] Aoyagi**
It's this.
**[21:21] Kaburagi**
G-God's stationery?
**[21:24] Kaburagi**
I knew God would come through.
**[21:25] Kaburagi**
He's written a hint on it.
**[21:27] Kaburagi**
The princess...?
**[21:31] Aoyagi**
Those are the lyrics to a certain song.
**[21:35] Kaburagi**
"You are the princess"?
**[23:15] Kaburagi**
Hikki the Third, grow up big and strong!
**[23:18] Aoyagi**
Hey.
**[23:20] Kaburagi**
Huh?
**[23:21] Aoyagi**
What are you doing?
**[23:24] Kaburagi**
Wait!
**[23:28] Kaburagi**
Hey! What was that for?
**[23:30] Kaburagi**
What about my Hikki-san?
**[23:32] Kaburagi**
You idiot!
**[23:35] Aoyagi**
Is he still a kid?

Wait, there's no point in asking Aoyagi.

Will this really help us get out of the pack?
**[03:17] Aoyagi**
Kaburagi, those are song lyrics.
**[03:20] Kaburagi**
I know that. You just said—
**[03:22] Aoyagi**
You don't read lyrics.
**[03:24] Aoyagi**
You sing them.
**[03:27] Kaburagi**
Sing?
**[03:29] Kaburagi**
You want me to sing?
**[03:31] Kaburagi**
These frou-frou lyrics?
**[03:33] Kaburagi**
And the way these sentences are written...
**[03:36] Kaburagi**
This is definitely a girl's song.
**[03:38] Kaburagi**
And you want me to sing it?
**[03:40] Aoyagi**
That's right.
**[03:42] Aoyagi**
And that's...
**[03:43] Aoyagi**
The opening theme of last year's
super-popular bishoujo anime, *Love Hime*!
**[03:48] Kaburagi**
What are you talking about, Aoyagi-san?!
**[03:52] Aoyagi**
There's a star between *Love* and *Hime*.
**[03:55] Kaburagi**
Is that important? Is that really important?!
**[03:58] Kaburagi**
What's wrong, Aoyagi? Are you okay?
**[04:00] Kaburagi**
Has the heat gotten to you?
**[04:02] Kaburagi**
Poor Aoyagi...
**[04:03] Kaburagi**
Wait, did you watch that anime?
**[04:06] Aoyagi**
I've never seen it, but I've sung the song.
**[04:11] Aoyagi**
Over and over again.
***SIGN*** Sohoku High School Bicycle Club
**[04:15] (Flashback) Aoyagi**
What did you want to discuss?
**[04:17] (Flashback) Tadokoro**
My last race as a third-year is over,
**[04:20] (Flashback) Tadokoro**
and I've come to a good stopping
point in studying for my exams.
**[04:24] (Flashback) Tadokoro**
There's something I forgot to tell you guys.
**[04:32] (Flashback) Aoyagi**
Is it important?
**[04:34] (Flashback) Tadokoro**
It is. Listen closely.
**[04:36] (Flashback) Aoyagi**
Yes, sir.
**[04:38] Aoyagi**
* A message from Tadokoro-san, an*
* established sprinter, to me, an aspiring one.*
**[04:50] (Flashback) Tadokoro**
Learn this anime song.
**[04:51] (Flashback) Aoyagi**
Huh? What?
**[04:52] (Flashback) Aoyagi**
What? What?!
**[04:54] (Flashback) Tadokoro**
Learn this anime song!
**[04:58] (Flashback) Aoyagi**
What?
***SIGN*** Love Hime
**[04:59] (Flashback) Tadokoro**
It's an anime called *Love Hime*.
**[05:01] (Flashback) Tadokoro**
I have the CD.
**[05:03] (Flashback) Tadokoro**
There's a star between *Love* and *Hime*.
**[05:06] (Flashback) Tadokoro**
Apparently, that's important.
**[05:08] (Flashback) Tadokoro**
The star spins during the opening song.
**[05:11] (Flashback) Tadokoro**
Apparently, it grows larger and shrinks, too.
**[05:15] (Flashback) Tadokoro**
Onoda taught me this song.
**[05:20] (Flashback) Tadokoro**
During the second stage of the Inter-High!
**[05:26] (Flashback) Tadokoro**
Thanks to this song, we were able to
catch up to Kinjou and the team last year.
**[05:33] (Flashback) Tadokoro**
Road races are long,
both in distance and duration.
**[05:36] (Flashback) Tadokoro**
Unexpected events occur one after another.
**[05:39] (Flashback) Tadokoro**
There's no way to prepare for everything.
**[05:43] (Flashback) Tadokoro**
But you do what you can.
**[05:46] (Flashback) Tadokoro**
If it increases your chances of
winning by even 1%, you can't compromise.
**[05:52] (Flashback) Tadokoro**
You have to do it.
**[05:54] (Flashback) Tadokoro**
Even if at first glance it seems meaningless.
**[05:59] (Flashback) Tadokoro**
Honestly, I doubt this song will
be sung at the Inter-High again.

You can ask me what it's good for,
but I can only tell you that I don't know.
**[06:11] (Flashback) Tadokoro**
But this anime song I'd never heard
before lead Sohoku to victory.
**[06:17] (Flashback) Tadokoro**
It made us come together as one.
**[06:23] Aoyagi**
*Tadokoro-san...*
**[06:26] Aoyagi**
*He's serious.*
**[06:30] Aoyagi**
It might be a common occurrence,
but it's important to girls!
**[06:32] Kaburagi**
He suddenly started singing!
**[06:37] Aoyagi**
Are my feelings reaching you?
**[06:37] Kaburagi**
A-Aoyagi-san!
**[06:41] Aoyagi**
Are they not?
**[06:45] Aoyagi**
Tadokoro-san used this song
to return to the team!
**[06:49] Rider 1**
One of them started singing.
**[06:51] Rider 2**
What is that?
**[06:52] Kaburagi**
This is embarrassing, Aoyagi-san!
**[06:54] Kaburagi**
Everyone's looking at us!
**[06:56] Kaburagi**
I can't believe you're singing so loudly!

**[07:01] Aoyagi**
I love, love, love you!

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

**[00:01] Sakamichi**
I won't...
**[00:05] Sakamichi**
...let you...
**[00:06] Sakamichi**
...pass me!
**[00:08] Yuto**
You're so strong, Mountain King.
**[00:10] Yuto**
Your climbing strength is unbelievable.
**[00:12] Yuto**
Your total control over your cadence,
**[00:14] Yuto**
and those eyes...
**[00:16] Yuto**
The large, honest eyes of a fighter.
**[00:20] Yuto**
You've giving me goosebumps.
**[00:32] Teshima**
Be careful, Onoda.
**[00:34] Teshima**
Shinkai Yuto seems easygoing at first glance,
**[00:38] Teshima**
but he's fast.
**[00:39] Teshima**
And his movements are without
mercy or hesitation.
**[00:43] Yuto**
Yeah!

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

**[00:01] Midousuji**
They're here right behind us.
**[00:06] Midousuji**
Komari-kun and my Zakus.
**[00:10] Midousuji**
All of them.
**[00:12] Naruko**
He can't be serious!
**[00:13] Naruko**
Kyoto Fushimi's members
are coming? All of them?
**[00:16] Midousuji**
I told you, did I not?
**[00:23] Midousuji**
I told you so considerately before
your situation got any worse.
**[00:33] (Flashback) Midousuji**
Huh? You're not going ahead?
**[00:35] (Flashback) Midousuji**
But both of your aces are here.
Aren't you going to go?
**[00:40] (Flashback) Midousuji**
Izumi-kun, why aren't you going?
**[00:43] (Flashback) Midousuji**
There's only each of us.
**[00:45] (Flashback) Midousuji**
It's Sohoku's chance to get ahead.
**[00:49] (Flashback) Midousuji**
Chan...? Heh.
**[00:51] (Flashback) Midousuji**
Your chance to leave us behind.
**[00:54] (Flashback) Midousuji**
Chirp, chirp, chirp?
**[00:57] (Flashback) Midousuji**
Don't tell me...
**[00:59] (Flashback) Midousuji**
You're still a little baby-chick
as a second-year, Chirpizumi-kun?
**[01:05] (Flashback) Imaizumi**
You haven't changed, Midousuji.
**[01:07] (Flashback) Midousuji**
You're smiling.
**[01:09] (Flashback) Imaizumi**
I'm not falling for your diversion.
**[01:12] (Flashback) Imaizumi**
Cry all you want.
**[01:14] (Flashback) Imaizumi**
We have our own orders.
**[01:17] (Flashback) Midousuji**
Diversion? What?
**[01:20] (Flashback) Midousuji**
Me, attempt a diversion?
**[01:24] (Flashback) Midousuji**
That's not what I'm doing.
**[01:27] Midousuji**
My only regret is that
**[01:30] Midousuji**
I won't get to see the look of overexertion
on Chirpizumi-kun's face.
**[01:35] Midousuji**
Eyes and mouth open, like a
deer caught in headlights!
**[01:41] Midousuji**
When my Zakus pass him,
he won't be able to do anything.
**[01:45] Midousuji**
He'll grunt or gasp wordlessly.
**[01:47] Midousuji**
That'll be the despair
**[01:49] Midousuji**
on Crackizumi-kun's face
when his spirit is broken!

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

You really don't have any restraint.
**[17:10] Izumida**
Kishigami Komari...
**[17:13] (Flashback) Izumida**
Kyoto Fushimi subbed out
one of their members?
**[17:15] (Flashback) Takadajou**
This is the new list.
***SIGN*** 114 Funazu 115 Kiriya 116 Kishigami Komari
**[17:19] (Flashback) Izumida**
They swapped out third-year Hironishi
for first-year Kishigami?
**[17:23] (Flashback) Izumida**
Is Hironishi not feeling well?
**[17:25] (Flashback) Izumida**
What do you think, Takadajou?
**[17:27] (Flashback) Takadajou**
It's a strategic move.
**[17:29] (Flashback) Takadajou**
Honestly, Hironishi's not strong.
**[17:32] (Flashback) Takadajou**
Kyoto Fushimi has a shallow pool
to draw from this year.
**[17:35] (Flashback) Takadajou**
We knew this, but Hironishi
was removed specifically.
**[17:39] (Flashback) Takadajou**
This move will bring their members, excluding
Midousuji, into line with one another.
**[17:43] (Flashback) Izumida**
Do we have any data on this first-year?
**[17:45] (Flashback) Takadajou**
None. But according to rumors,
he's been brought along to every race.
**[17:49] (Flashback) Doubashi**
A sub's a sub.
**[17:51] (Flashback) Doubashi**
He can't be that good.
**[17:53] (Flashback) Doubashi**
It's nothing to worry about, Izumida-san.
**[17:55] (Flashback) Izumida**
No, I'll hear it.
**[17:57] Izumida**
*He could be the eye of the storm.*
**[17:59] (Flashback) Takadajou**
Supposedly, Kishigami tags along to
every race and gives them massages.
**[18:06] Komari**
I can still feel it all the
way in my elbow, Izumida-san!
**[18:13] Izumida**
He seems to be more than a mere masseuse.
**[18:16] Izumida**
He's an unknown value.
We have no data on him.
**[18:18] Izumida**
But that's—
**[18:19] Kuroda**
Touichirou!
**[18:21] Kuroda**
This race has a long way to go.
**[18:22] Kuroda**
The six of us can ride
through the sprint together.
**[18:25] Kuroda**
The way he touched you wasn't normal.
**[18:27] Kuroda**
Before he does anything else to you—
**[18:29] Izumida**
It's fine, Yuki. We're the champions.
**[18:32] Izumida**
We're Hakone Academy.
**[18:33] Izumida**
We accept and defeat all challengers.
**[18:37] Izumida**
That's what champions do.
**[18:38] Izumida**
If we lack data on our opponents,
**[18:41] Izumida**
we can learn by battling them!
**[18:43] Izumida**
Abs!
**[18:44] Yamaguchi**
Izumida's "abs" call is amazing.
**[18:47] Yamaguchi**
I can feel the pressure
all the way over here.
**[18:48] Yamaguchi**
Izumida's gotten stronger than last year!
**[18:53] Yamaguchi**
Will Kishigami be okay?
**[18:55] Izumida**
Do you want to hear me shout
"abs" more, Kishigami-kun?
**[19:00] Komari**
Yes, more!
**[19:03] Izumida**
Abs ready!
**[19:04] Yamaguchi**
Hakone Academy's ace sprinter
is about to make his move!
**[19:08] Midousuji**
You really do lack restraint!
**[19:14] Izumida**
Go!
**[19:16] Izumida**
Abs, abs, abs, abs, abs, abs!
**[19:20] Izumida**
Abs, abs, abs, abs, *abs*!
**[19:24] Fan H**
Hakone Academy's sending
their ace sprinter, Izumida!
**[19:27] Fan I**
Who is Kyoto Fushimi sending?
**[19:28] Fan J**
#116! Third-year Hironishi Sakudai!
**[19:31] Fan H**
He's keeping up with Izumida!
**[19:33] Fan J**
Hironishi's amazing!
**[19:36] Izumida**
I'm impressed you're keeping up,
but perhaps I went too fast.
**[19:40] Izumida**
Are you short of breath already?
**[19:42] Komari**
Huh? What?
**[19:44] Komari**
My breath?
**[19:45] Komari**
I'm panting already
**[19:48] Komari**
from seeing the movements
of your muscles up close.
**[19:52] Komari**
Of course I'm panting.
**[19:54] Izumida**
That's why he's panting?
**[19:56] Izumida**
Then how's this?
**[19:58] Izumida**
Abs, abs, abs!
**[20:00] Izumida**
Bua, bua, bua!
**[20:02] Komari**
Your "bua, bua" is great, too!
**[20:06] Izumida**
Let's go, Andy and Frank.
**[20:09] Izumida**
If he's determined to keep up,
then I'll break away by force!
**[20:12] Izumida**
Bua!
**[20:16] Izumida**
He's keeping up.
**[20:17] Izumida**
I see. It seems you have fast reactions.
**[20:22] Izumida**
The moment I prepare to accelerate,
you're already starting to chase.
**[20:26] Komari**
I can tell from the
movements of your muscles.
**[20:29] Komari**
Tiny vibrations tell me how much
you're going to accelerate.
**[20:32] Komari**
I don't miss any of them.
**[20:35] Izumida**
So no matter how much I accelerate,
your reaction will never be late?
**[20:38] Komari**
After all, I won't get another chance
to see your muscles up close.
**[20:43] Izumida**
Frank senses that this man is dangerous?
**[20:46] Komari**
Did Frank-san just react?
**[20:51] Izumida**
How does he know about Frank?
**[20:53] Izumida**
No, I'm always shouting his name.
**[20:56] Izumida**
It's not strange that he knows.
**[20:58] Komari**
I see. He's careful, is he?
**[21:02] Komari**
He senses all danger.
**[21:04] Komari**
Since he increases the pressure on
your heart, he's careful and bold.
**[21:10] Komari**
Is that Frank-san's personality?
**[21:13] Izumida**
This man understands that
much just from touching me?
**[21:18] Izumida**
Your senses are incredible.
**[21:20] Izumida**
Do you know how this race will end, too?
**[21:22] Komari**
More or less, based on the
movements of your muscles.
**[21:27] Izumida**
Who will win this sprint?
**[21:29] Komari**
Me.
**[21:32] Komari**
Huh? Are you feeling slightly short of breath?
**[23:14] Kuroda**
That cat...
**[23:19] Kuroda**
Come on. Don't be that way.
**[23:22] Kuroda**
We're both black cats. Let's be friends.
**[23:24] Kuroda**
Huh?
**[23:25] Izumida**
Abs! Abs! Abs!
**[23:28] Izumida**
Andy! Frank, Frank, Frank, Frank!
**[23:29] Izumida**
Andy, Andy, Andy! Frank, Frank!

**[00:02] Izumida**
You'll win?
**[00:04] Izumida**
Interesting theory, Kyoto Fushimi
first-year Kishigami Komari.
**[00:07] Izumida**
You've kept up well so far.
**[00:09] Izumida**
And on top of that, you sure do talk a lot.
**[00:11] Komari**
Izumida-san, let me hear
you shout "abs" more!
**[00:15] Komari**
I want to see more!
**[00:18] Komari**
I want to see them whip back and forth!
**[00:22] Komari**
I want to hear the passionate
braying of your muscles!
**[00:27] Komari**
Contract and release. They repeat
that action over and over.
**[00:31] Komari**
Magnificently and proudly, thousands
and tens of thousands of times.
**[00:35] Komari**
Muscles are beautiful!
**[00:39] Komari**
The process by which you develop
your muscles is important.
**[00:42] Komari**
Muscles that are raised
carefully are high quality.
**[00:45] Komari**
Their appearance, feel,
elasticity, and durability...
**[00:49] Komari**
All their properties shine fantastically.
**[00:52] Komari**
But muscles raised roughly
are crude and disconnected.
**[00:56] Komari**
They possess no shred of dignity
and feel like mud to the touch.
**[01:00] Komari**
Muscles need innate quality and
a maestro to raise them well.
**[01:12] Komari**
I can't stand it!
**[01:14] Komari**
Izumida-san!
**[01:15] Komari**
Your muscles are beautiful!
**[01:17] Komari**
You are the greatest maestro!
**[01:21] Komari**
And I am the gourmet who will consume them!

**[02:57] Komari**
Pushed past their limits,
muscle fibers are torn.
**[03:00] Komari**
I believe muscles are finally finished then.
**[03:05] Komari**
And with these fingertips, I will touch
**[03:08] Komari**
the highest-quality dish you've prepared.
**[03:11] Izumida**
Kishigami Komari...
**[03:13] Izumida**
Is he trying to knock me out of the race?
**[03:16] Izumida**
On the first day, he left the rear and
caught up to the front with Midousuji.
**[03:20] Izumida**
He may be an unknown, but he's strong.
**[03:24] Izumida**
In other words, Kyoto Fushimi has
revealed their secret weapon.
**[03:27] Izumida**
Which means that now, it can be achieved.
**[03:30] Izumida**
Last year's revenge, which I swore
I'd have from the bottom of my heart!
**[03:35] Izumida**
It seems Midousuji-kun carefully planned
**[03:37] Izumida**
to add you to the lineup just
before the race started.
**[03:40] Komari**
Yes. He said everything's
going according to plan.
**[03:44] Komari**
And that I wouldn't need to restrain
myself once the race started.
**[03:52] Doubashi**
I thought the round-eyed guy
would go after them
**[03:55] Doubashi**
so they could crush Izumida-san together.
**[03:59] Kuroda**
Yeah, but he's not moving.
**[04:00] Doubashi**
Does that mean they've
given up on the sprint?
**[04:03] Kuroda**
No.
**[04:05] Kuroda**
They deliberately caught up to us
five kilometers before the line.
**[04:08] Kuroda**
They care about this race, so if they
sent that Kishigami guy, then...
**[04:14] Kuroda**
Hey, Midousuji.
**[04:16] Midousuji**
Huh?
**[04:17] Kuroda**
At the very least, you must think
that first-year will beat Touichirou.
**[04:23] Doubashi**
What? Beat Izumida-san?
**[04:26] Midousuji**
Well...
**[04:28] Midousuji**
I wasn't expecting him to go.
**[04:32] Midousuji**
But he'll win.
**[04:35] Midousuji**
Then it will be the same as last year.
**[04:39] Midousuji**
Champion Hakone Academy's ace sprinter
defeated by a first-year.
**[04:46] Midousuji**
Once he loses, he'll be completely crushed.
**[04:50] Midousuji**
Mr. Revenge Lashes.
**[04:54] Izumida**
He's pulling ahead.
**[04:56] Izumida**
His form isn't just beautiful.
**[04:59] Izumida**
His pedaling is driving his sprocket
with almost perfect efficiency.
**[05:06] Izumida**
Despite his strange appearance, he's skilled
at the fundamentals of riding a bicycle.
**[05:12] Kuroda**
He's fast!
***SIGN*** 2 km to Road Race Second Day Sprint Line
**[05:15] Fan 1**
They've passed the two-kilometer line!
**[05:17] Fan 1**
Hakone Academy's Izumida
is slowly falling behind!
**[05:21] Komari**
Izumida-san!
**[05:23] Komari**
Aren't you going to get revenge
for last year's second day?
**[05:26] Komari**
More! Let me hear your
muscles bray "abs" more!
**[05:31] Izumida**
Revenge, huh?
**[05:33] Izumida**
It seems I've given you the wrong impression.
**[05:36] Komari**
What?
**[05:38] Kuroda**
Midousuji.
**[05:40] Kuroda**
It sounds like you've gotten
the wrong impression.
**[05:43] Kuroda**
Touichirou said "revenge."
**[05:47] Kuroda**
But he wasn't talking about your
sprint against Shinkai-san last year.
**[05:52] Kuroda**
We crushed the first day. We're doing well.
**[05:56] Kuroda**
But for him, he's still...
**[05:58] Kuroda**
Last year's loser.
**[06:03] Kuroda**
The revenge he seeks is for
Hakone Academy's defeat.
**[06:08] Kuroda**
That's a different kind of resolve.
**[06:10] Kuroda**
That's why he can't lose,
no matter who he's against.
**[06:15] Kuroda**
He's about to become the fastest spear.
**[06:18] Izumida**
Kishigami-kun, do you know what
it means when I zip up my jersey?
**[06:23] Komari**
Huh? What it means when
you zip up your jersey?
**[06:26] Komari**
I can't see your muscles anymore.
**[06:29] Komari**
There's no other meaning.
***SIGN*** 1500 m to Road Race Second Day Sprint Line
**[06:32] Fan 2**
There's 1500 meters left to
the second day's sprint line!
**[06:35] Izumida**
"Watch out for the zipper
of Kanagawa's fastest man."
**[06:39] Izumida**
They used to say that about me.
**[06:42] Izumida**
I zip up my jersey just like this
**[06:46] Izumida**
when I go all out!
**[06:55] Izumida**
Abs!
**[07:00] Izumida**
That's the face of someone who's
lost their lead in an instant.
**[07:03] Izumida**
Try to keep up, first-year. I'm going faster.
**[07:07] Izumida**
This acceleration isn't fast
enough to defeat Hakone Academy's
**[07:11] Izumida**
man wearing #4, the ace sprinter!
**[07:15] Izumida**
I wear #4!
**[07:17] Izumida**
And being the captain of Hakone Academy
**[07:20] Izumida**
is an unimaginably heavy responsibility!
**[07:25] (Flashback) Murakami**
You're dividing each year
into groups A through D?
**[07:30] (Flashback) Izumida**
That's right, Murakami.
**[07:31] (Flashback) Izumida**
And at the start of every month, we'll hold
promotion and relegation races.
**[07:34] (Flashback) Izumida**
You'll assign the first-years to groups.
**[07:36] (Flashback) Izumida**
Takadajou, assist him.
**[07:38] (Flashback) Both**
Yes, sir!
**[07:39] (Flashback) Arakita**
It's been two months since
the Inter-High ended.
**[07:42] (Flashback) Arakita**
Izumida's doing a surprisingly
good job as captain.
**[07:46] (Flashback) Fukutomi**
Yeah.
**[07:47] (Flashback) Both**
Thank you!
**[07:48] (Flashback) Arakita**
But being the captain after
Hakone Academy loses...
**[07:52] (Flashback) Arakita**
He looks calm, but I'm
sure he's freaking out.
**[07:55] (Flashback) Arakita**
I feel sorry for him.
**[07:56] (Flashback) Fukutomi**
Yeah. And that's not all.
**[08:00] (Flashback) Arakita**
Yeah. He's a prime candidate for #4.
***SIGN*** Hakone Academy Bicycle Racing Club
**[08:09] (Flashback) Murakami**
Has the captain position really been decided?
**[08:12] (Flashback) Gt**
What do you mean? Do you
have a problem with him?
**[08:15] (Flashback) Murakami**
It's just that Hakone Academy's captain
**[08:18] (Flashback) Murakami**
has historically always been
a climber or all-rounder.
**[08:21] (Flashback) Murakami**
Supposedly, it's because sprinters can't
issue instructions at the end of the race.
**[08:26] (Flashback) Gt**
So it should be Kuroda-san or Manami?
**[08:29] (Flashback) Murakami**
I'm just saying, don't you
think that would be better?
**[08:34] (Flashback) Murakami**
Apparently, it's the first time the captain
of Hakone Academy has been a sprinter.
***SIGN*** Meeting In Progress Do Not Enter
**[08:44] (Flashback) Kuroda**
I thought about not saying anything,
but there's no point in hiding it.
**[08:50] (Flashback) Kuroda**
You pay attention to your surroundings,
and your instructions are accurate.
**[08:54] (Flashback) Kuroda**
I think you make a good captain.
**[08:57] (Flashback) Kuroda**
But there's a strange atmosphere
spreading throughout the team.
**[09:02] (Flashback) Kuroda**
An atmosphere of doubt that we can really
win with a sprinter as our captain.
**[09:07] (Flashback) Kuroda**
A raging first-year even directly
appealed to Fukutomi-san.
**[09:10] (Flashback) Kuroda**
He said we couldn't win the Inter-High
like this and demanded we switch captains.
**[09:14] (Flashback) Kuroda**
I told him not to be stupid—
**[09:16] (Flashback) Izumida**
I know, Yuki.
**[09:20] (Flashback) Izumida**
First-year Murakami told me
directly the other day.
**[09:23] (Flashback) Kuroda**
That bastard!
**[09:24] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
Yuki-chan.
**[09:25] (Flashback) Izumida**
It's okay, Yuki.
**[09:27] (Flashback) Izumida**
I've actually steeled my resolve.
**[09:30] (Flashback) Izumida**
If the team is divided now,
we can't become stronger.
**[09:34] (Flashback) Izumida**
Yuki, I need you to do something for me.
**[09:39] (Flashback) Izumida**
The captain's position...
**[09:42] (Flashback) Kuroda**
Wait a minute.
**[09:44] (Flashback) Kuroda**
You carry that pride more than
anyone else, Izumida Touichirou!
**[09:50] (Flashback) Izumida**
I lost the first day's sprint!
**[09:53] (Flashback) Izumida**
If there's a reason Hakone Academy
lost the Inter-High this year,
**[09:58] (Flashback) Izumida**
it's because I failed to take the
first day's green number tag!
**[10:02] (Flashback) Izumida**
That start was everything!
**[10:04] (Flashback) Izumida**
I'm the one who stained our honor, Yuki!
**[10:07] (Flashback) Kuroda**
That's irrelevant!
**[10:09] (Flashback) Kuroda**
You have to stop clinging to the past!
**[10:11] (Flashback) Kuroda**
If there's no sprinter captain in our
team's history, then you write that history!
**[10:16] (Flashback) Kuroda**
Your earnestness is your strength!
**[10:18] (Flashback) Kuroda**
Just chip away at it, and overturn
their assumptions!
**[10:22] (Flashback) Izumida**
I've thought about it countless times.
**[10:24] (Flashback) Izumida**
But it's guilt.
**[10:31] (Flashback) Izumida**
A guilty person can't lead others.
**[10:35] (Flashback) Izumida**
That's how it is, Yuki.
**[10:38] (Flashback) Izumida**
You should be the captain.
**[10:48] (Flashback) Izumida**
I'm going to tell the others
officially tomorrow.
**[10:57] Izumida**
*This is my last day as captain.*
**[11:01] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
Do you have a minute?
**[11:04] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
If you have some time,
why don't we go for a ride?
**[11:08] (Flashback) Izumida**
Ashikiba...
**[11:14] (Flashback) Izumida**
This may be the first time we've
ridden together like this, Ashikiba.
**[11:19] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
Yeah, Tou-chan.
**[11:21] Izumida**
*Tou-chan?*
**[11:23] Izumida**
*Ah, short for Touichirou.*
**[11:25] Izumida**
*I forgot, this guy's a little odd.*
**[11:29] Izumida**
* I'm sure he's trying to*
* cheer me up in his own way.*
**[11:33] Izumida**
*But he's wasting his time.*
**[11:36] Izumida**
* I feel sorry for him, but I'm leaving*
* as soon as I hear what he has to say.*
**[11:39] (Flashback) Izumida**
It's only the beginning of October,
but the nights are already cold—
**[11:42] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
Cheer up!
**[11:43] Izumida**
*He's taking the direct approach!*
**[11:46] (Flashback) Izumida**
Sure...
**[11:47] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
Look! You can see the view!
**[11:49] (Flashback) Izumida**
Yeah. This is an observation platform.
**[11:51] Izumida**
*Why did Shinkai-san*
**[11:53] Izumida**
* choose this man for the core team of*
* the next generation of Hakone Academy?*
**[11:57] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
Shinkai-san used to bring
me here all the time!
**[12:00] (Flashback) Izumida**
Yeah. Me, too.
**[12:02] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
Like when I was depressed!
**[12:03] (Flashback) Izumida**
It was the same for me. I know.
**[12:10] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
From now on, we have to bring people here...
**[12:15] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
Depressed underclassmen, to this place.
**[12:19] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
After all, we're becoming upperclassmen.
**[12:24] (Flashback) Izumida**
Yeah, you're right.
**[12:27] Izumida**
* I'm surprised he actually*
* thinks about these things.*
**[12:30] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
You know, I...
**[12:32] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
Can I be serious for a second?
**[12:34] (Flashback) Izumida**
Huh? Uh, sure.
**[12:35] Izumida**
*Was he not being serious before?*
**[12:39] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
I moved here from Chiba at
the end of middle school.
**[12:42] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
I joined Hakone Academy with zero friends.
**[12:44] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
I joined the team since I brought
my bike, and they had a club.
**[12:48] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
It turned out they were strong.
**[12:51] (Flashback) Arakita**
Who the hell are you?
**[12:53] (Flashback) Arakita**
You're huge!
**[12:54] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
Arakita-san was scary, I kept growing,
and practice was hard.
**[12:59] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
I couldn't keep up.
**[13:01] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
At some point, I became the laundry boy.
**[13:06] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
But Fukutomi-san and
Shinkai-san cheered me up.
**[13:11] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
It made me really happy.
**[13:13] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
But I failed to meet their
expectations when I got my chance.
**[13:18] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
I was so impatient when things
didn't go the way I wanted
**[13:20] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
that I did something you should never do.
**[13:23] Izumida**
*That was a huge issue within the team.*
**[13:26] Izumida**
* And the result was a*
* permanent ban from racing.*
**[13:31] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
I don't think I had to win that race.
**[13:35] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
They just wanted me to finish in the
top nine and gain some confidence.
**[13:39] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
Arakita-san told me later that's what
Shinkai-san and Fukutomi-san wanted.
**[13:45] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
But I put that pressure on myself.
**[13:47] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
My need to win turned out badly.
**[13:52] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
Earlier, in the club room,
you said you felt guilt.
**[13:55] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
If that's guilt,
**[13:58] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
then I carry more guilt than anyone.
**[14:05] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
And probably...
**[14:07] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
Oh, I'm not talking about me.
**[14:10] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
But I think people who don't
carry guilt shouldn't lead others.
**[14:16] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
Wait, does it sound like
I'm lecturing you right now?
**[14:20] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
I'm not, though!
**[14:21] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
I was just telling you my life story!
**[14:23] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
I doubt your resolve can be shaken.
**[14:26] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
I just wanted you to cheer up.
**[14:30] (Flashback) Izumida**
Yeah, I know.
**[14:35] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
Since you became captain, I feel
like you haven't said "abs" once.
***SIGN*** Hakone Academy
**[14:44] Izumida**
*I talked to Yuki. I talked to Fukutomi-san.*
**[14:48] Izumida**
* But after hearing it from Ashikiba,*
* I finally realized something.*
**[14:51] Izumida**
* Since I became captain,*
* I haven't said "abs" once.*
**[14:56] Izumida**
*I haven't talked to you...*
**[14:59] Izumida**
*Andy, Frank.*
**[15:02] Izumida**
*To you. To myself.*
**[15:08] Izumida**
*They're telling me to do it.*
**[15:09] Izumida**
*That retreating isn't fighting.*
**[15:12] Izumida**
*Is this my limit?*
**[15:14] Izumida**
*If it isn't,*
**[15:16] Izumida**
* then I should take my guilt and failures and*
* turn them into the strength to move forward.*
**[15:21] (Flashback) Izumida**
Abs!
**[15:24] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
I placed second at the Minegayama race.
**[15:26] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
Fukutomi-san got mad at me again.
**[15:29] Izumida**
* Second place means he kept working hard*
* during his permanent ban from racing.*
***SIGN*** Hakone Academy
**[15:35] Izumida**
* Despite the guilt he carries,*
* he's moving forward.*
**[15:39] Izumida**
*Then I should as well.*
**[15:41] (Flashback) Izumida**
Stop looking back and move forward.
**[15:45] Izumida**
*Those eyes... He's back.*
**[15:51] (Flashback) Kuroda**
Touichirou...
**[15:52] (Flashback) Izumida**
Sorry, Yuki. I'll try again.
**[15:56] (Flashback) Izumida**
If there's no precedent,
then I'll overthrow the past.
**[15:58] (Flashback) Izumida**
If the team isn't satisfied,
I'll push them aside.
**[16:01] (Flashback) Izumida**
My greatest goal is to reclaim
our throne at the Inter-High.
**[16:04] (Flashback) Kuroda**
That's the spirit.
**[16:06] (Flashback) Izumida**
Will you help me, Yuki?
**[16:08] (Flashback) Kuroda**
Yeah, of course.
**[16:10] (Flashback) Izumida**
And...
**[16:12] (Flashback) Izumida**
Takuto.
**[16:13] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
Yeah.
**[16:14] (Flashback) Izumida**
We'll train harder than anyone else.
**[16:17] (Flashback) Izumida**
We'll have more passion than anyone else.
**[16:19] (Flashback) Izumida**
We'll face forward and advance!
**[16:21] (Flashback) Izumida**
We are the champions, Hakone Academy!
**[16:28] Izumida**
I'm going even faster.
**[16:30] Izumida**
The man wearing #4
**[16:31] Izumida**
and bearing the captain's responsibility
can go faster than this.
**[16:37] Kuroda**
Go, Touichirou.
**[16:39] Kuroda**
Show them what you've built in the past year.
**[16:43] Ashikiba**
I knew there'd come a moment when
you could atone for your guilt.
**[16:49] Ashikiba**
That moment is now, Tou-chan.
**[16:51] Ashikiba**
Run!
**[16:53] Izumida**
I know now why Shinkai-san and Fukutomi-san
**[16:55] Izumida**
chose Ashikiba for the core team of
the new generation of Hakone Academy.
**[17:01] Izumida**
He is strong both physically and mentally.
**[17:06] Izumida**
They knew I was carrying guilt.
**[17:10] Izumida**
That's why they told me to
move forward through him.
**[17:14] Izumida**
Thank you, Yuki, Takuto.
**[17:16] Izumida**
Thanks to you, I made it this far.
**[17:20] Izumida**
Experiencing pain, bearing guilt,
**[17:23] Izumida**
and carrying an unbeatable passion
in my heart, I now become
**[17:27] Izumida**
the fastest spear!
**[17:32] Fan 3**
He's so fast!
**[17:33] Fan 3**
That's how fast Hakone Academy's #4 can go!
**[17:35] Fan 4**
Light...
**[17:36] Fan 4**
I think I just saw light!
**[17:39] Komari**
But...
**[17:43] Komari**
No, no...
**[17:45] Komari**
I can't see him anymore.
**[17:47] Komari**
His muscles!
**[17:49] Komari**
In that case,
**[17:51] Komari**
I'll have to use these!
**[17:55] Komari**
Eyewear...
**[17:56] Komari**
They protect your eyes
from UV rays and rocks.
**[17:59] Komari**
But that's not all.
**[18:02] Komari**
Polarized glasses remove reflections,
allowing you to see vivid sights.
**[18:07] Komari**
Down to the tiniest detail,
they increase the vibrant glow...
**[18:14] Komari**
Of those sights! Those muscles!
**[18:18] Komari**
It's like a field of flowers!
**[18:20] Komari**
And beyond that field, I see
seductively glowing muscles!
**[18:26] Komari**
Muscles!
**[18:29] Komari**
They'd make anyone want to race
through a field of flowers!
**[18:33] Fan 7**
What's going on?
**[18:34] Fan 7**
He suddenly started going faster
the moment he put on his eyewear!
**[18:37] Fan 7**
Is that even possible?
**[18:39] Fan 8**
Maybe.
**[18:40] Fan 7**
What?
**[18:41] Fan 8**
They say more than 85%
of the information people
**[18:44] Fan 8**
use to make decisions during
exercise is visual information.
**[18:47] Fan 8**
And if that eyewear drastically
changes that information,
**[18:50] Fan 8**
then it's entirely possible that
it could affect his movements!
**[18:54] Komari**
Flowers! Muscles!
**[18:55] Komari**
Flowers! Muscles!
**[18:55] Komari**
Flowers! Muscles! Flowers!
**[18:56] Komari**
Muscles!
**[18:56] Komari**
Flowers!
**[18:59] Izumida**
What? But I was so far ahead of him.
**[19:02] Izumida**
What did he do?
**[19:05] Komari**
I can see them so clearly!
**[19:06] Komari**
So close!
**[19:07] Komari**
A field of muscles!
**[19:09] Izumida**
A field of muscles?
**[19:11] Komari**
Muscles are most beautiful
when they're in motion.
**[19:15] Komari**
Sweat, contraction, tension...
**[19:18] Komari**
And the movement of these muscles
during this ultimate sprint battle...
**[19:23] Komari**
I may never get a chance to see them again!
**[19:26] Komari**
I'm sorry, Midousuji-san.
**[19:28] Komari**
You told me not to put on my eyewear until...
**[19:29] (Flashback) Midousuji**
Wear them once you're within
a kilometer of the line.
**[19:33] (Flashback) Midousuji**
Save your secret weapon until the very end.
**[19:35] Komari**
I know you told me not to.
**[19:38] Komari**
But I put them on more than a kilometer away!
**[19:43] Izumida**
The stronger his opponent, the more
his pressure rises. He's keeping up.
**[19:47] Komari**
A field... of muscles...
**[19:51] Izumida**
I know, Andy, Frank.
**[19:55] Izumida**
But I won't quail.
**[19:57] Izumida**
Overwhelming victory has simply
changed into a close battle.
**[20:00] Komari**
Huh? Didn't I tell you earlier?
**[20:03] Komari**
I can tell from the
movements of your muscles.
**[20:05] Komari**
I'm going to win this battle.
**[20:08] Izumida**
If the movement of my muscles
decided the race's outcome,
**[20:11] Izumida**
then I wouldn't have lost last year.
**[20:14] Izumida**
Don't you know?
**[20:16] Izumida**
In road racing, the one who overcomes
unexpected difficulties wins.
**[20:26] Fan 9**
He's keeping up with Izumida!
**[20:29] Fan 9**
Maybe I'll root for #116, Hironishi!
**[20:33] Fan 10**
Kyoto Fushimi, Hironishi!
**[20:34] Fans**
You can do it, Hironishi!
**[20:35] Fans**
You're amazing, Hironishi!
**[20:36] Izumida**
What a shame.
**[20:38] Izumida**
Since you changed your roster
just before the race,
**[20:40] Izumida**
everyone's getting your name wrong.
**[20:42] Komari**
Huh? I don't care about that.
**[20:45] Komari**
I've never felt the voices
of others made me stronger.

Not all the time.

You're so strict, Touichirou.

**[00:01] Komari**
I grew up in a large,
old mansion at the edge of Kyoto
***SIGN*** Kishigami
**[00:07] Komari**
where I was taught that it was
wrong to be indiscreet around others.
**[00:13] (Flashback) Komari**
Mother, I'm going to school.
**[00:15] Komari**
I was taught to act with grace,
**[00:19] Komari**
maintain a placid temperament,
and conceal my emotions.
***SIGN*** Yowamushi Pedal
**[01:54] Komari**
I loved books since I was a child.
***SIGN*** LINE.14 Heart's Wrapping, Heart's Case
**[01:56] Komari**
I was your typical bookworm who loved
to daydream of literary worlds.
**[02:01] Komari**
But there was one thing different about me.
**[02:01] ---**
Yes, Sensei!
**[02:05] Komari**
*Why are Kitami-kun's arms are so thick?*
**[02:10] Komari**
*No, no. They're all wrong.*
**[02:13] Komari**
*I wonder what the most amazing arms are like.*
**[02:16] Komari**
*I can't tell what they feel like from a book.*
**[02:18] Komari**
*I wonder what's different about them.*
**[02:21] Komari**
* No, no. I always think about*
* other people's bodies.*
**[02:26] Komari**
*I always stare.*
**[02:27] Komari**
* People would find me*
* creepy if they found out.*
**[02:31] Komari**
*And besides, it's rude to stare.*
**[02:33] Komari**
*But even though I know it's wrong...*
**[02:37] (Flashback) Komari**
I want to touch them and feel for myself.
**[02:41] Komari**
I was deeply interested in
the way human bodies pump blood.
**[02:45] Komari**
And in my second year of middle school...
**[02:49] (Flashback) Midousuji**
Huh?
**[02:51] (Flashback) Midousuji**
You were here yesterday, too.
**[02:54] (Flashback) Midousuji**
And the week before.
**[02:57] (Flashback) Komari**
Th-The sun's nice here.
**[02:59] (Flashback) Komari**
It's the perfect place to re—
**[03:00] (Flashback) Midousuji**
But you haven't turned a
single page in a while.
**[03:03] (Flashback) Komari**
Um, I...
**[03:06] (Flashback) Midousuji**
Do you like road racing?
**[03:08] (Flashback) Komari**
It's not road racing that I like.
**[03:11] (Flashback) Komari**
Muscles...
**[03:12] (Flashback) ---**
Huh?
**[03:13] (Flashback) Komari**
Sorry, it's nothing.
**[03:15] (Flashback) Komari**
People are always repulsed when they hear it.
**[03:18] (Flashback) Komari**
If I offended you, I apologize.
**[03:21] (Flashback) Komari**
Excuse me.
**[03:23] (Flashback) Midousuji**
I don't care.
**[03:24] (Flashback) Komari**
Excuse me. I'm leaving.
**[03:26] (Flashback) Komari**
I finished reading my book.
**[03:28] Komari**
*That was close.*
**[03:29] Komari**
* He nearly heard me when I accidentally*
* said "muscles" out loud.*
**[03:34] Komari**
* Huh? I didn't say anything*

***SIGN*** Arashiyama Bicycle Park

**[04:04] Komari**
At first, I really was looking
for a place to read.
**[04:11] Komari**
But...
**[04:19] Komari**
After coming here a few times,
my hand stopped turning the page.
**[04:25] (Flashback) Komari**
The muscles... Th-They're leaping...
**[04:32] Komari**
*Bicycle racing...*
**[04:35] Komari**
*It's not like other sports.*
**[04:38] Komari**
* The muscles' movements*
* before the finish line...*
**[04:40] Komari**
*The way they move their bodies...*
**[04:42] Komari**
* No other sports involves*
* leaning so far forward.*
**[04:47] (Flashback) Komari**
Those dancing muscles...
**[04:49] (Flashback) Komari**
All kinds of muscles...
**[04:51] (Flashback) Komari**
If only I could touch them...
**[04:55] (Flashback) Komari**
No, I mustn't. I swore I wouldn't.
**[04:59] (Flashback) Komari**
I swore I wouldn't go back there.
**[05:02] Komari**
*They even ride bicycles in the rain.*
**[05:05] Komari**
*No, I just came to check if they were riding.*
**[05:09] Komari**
*That's all. I...*
**[05:14] Komari**
*Midousuji-san's here.*
**[05:17] Komari**
* He surprised me when he suddenly*
* spoke to me the other day.*
**[05:20] Komari**
*But I know him.*
**[05:23] Komari**
*After all, he stood out quite a bit.*
**[05:26] Komari**
*He's a third-year, so one year above me.*
**[05:29] Komari**
*He never speaks and is always biking here.*
**[05:31] Komari**
* He's stood on the winner's podium*
* numerous times, and more than anything...*
**[05:35] (Flashback) Club**
Hey, you.
**[05:36] (Flashback) Komari**
Huh?
**[05:37] (Flashback) Club**
You're the kid who always comes to watch.
**[05:39] (Flashback) Club**
Are you interested in bicycles?
**[05:41] (Flashback) Club**
Are you in middle school?
**[05:43] (Flashback) Club**
If you're interested, we have a club.
**[05:46] (Flashback) Club**
Why don't you try riding a bike?
**[05:48] (Flashback) Club**
We can rent you a bike.
**[05:49] (Flashback) Komari**
I'm not interested!
**[05:50] (Flashback) Club**
Huh? What?
**[05:52] Komari**
*I'm mentally prepared this time.*
**[05:55] (Flashback) Midousuji**
It's you.
**[05:57] (Flashback) Komari**
Yes. My name is Kishigami.
**[06:00] (Flashback) Komari**
Um, you even train for
road races in the rain, don't you?
**[06:03] (Flashback) Midousuji**
I thought you were here to read.
**[06:07] (Flashback) Midousuji**
Weren't you coming here
because the sun was nice?
**[06:11] (Flashback) Midousuji**
It's raining today.
**[06:13] (Flashback) Komari**
Oh, um...
**[06:15] (Flashback) Komari**
I was just wondering if road
races were held in the rain.
**[06:18] (Flashback) Midousuji**
Last time, you said you weren't
interested in road racing.
**[06:23] (Flashback) Komari**
Well, uh...
**[06:26] Komari**
*I wanted to have a normal conversation.*
**[06:28] Komari**
*"It was cool when you won the other day."*
**[06:31] Komari**
* "It's too bad you got a*
* flat tire the other day."*
**[06:33] Komari**
* There are so many things I want*
* to say, but I can't say them.*
**[06:37] Komari**
*Not when this man...*
**[06:40] Komari**
* Not when his pure eyes, without a*
* trace of deceit, are looking at me!*
**[06:43] (Flashback) Midousuji**
Gross.
**[06:44] (Flashback) Komari**
What?
**[06:44] (Flashback) Midousuji**
You're gross.
**[06:46] (Flashback) Komari**
What? Uh... s-sorry!
**[06:49] Komari**
*He's the complete opposite of me.*
**[06:52] Komari**
*He doesn't lie.*
**[06:54] Komari**
*All I do is lie.*
**[06:56] Komari**
*I never reveal my true feelings.*
**[06:58] Komari**
*I'm done for.*
**[07:00] Komari**
*Midousuji-san is the best person here.*
**[07:03] Komari**
*He might even be the best in the country.*
**[07:07] Komari**
* His beautiful limbs are long*
* and perfectly efficient.*
**[07:09] Komari**
*They have just the right amount of muscle.*
**[07:13] Komari**
*And his personality is on a whole other level.*
**[07:17] (Flashback) Komari**
He's beautiful...
**[07:21] Komari**
My heart was pounding that day.
**[07:24] Komari**
*I want to touch him.*
**[07:25] Komari**
*I want to touch him and see*
**[07:27] Komari**
*if what I'm feeling now is real!*
**[07:32] (Flashback) Komari**
I'm really sorry for talking to you.
**[07:35] (Flashback) Komari**
Excuse me.
**[07:37] (Flashback) Midousuji**
You won't find anything facing the ground
and bowing your head all the time.
**[07:45] (Flashback) Midousuji**
Those glasses are fake.
**[07:48] (Flashback) Komari**
I...
**[07:48] (Flashback) Komari**
No. These are for hiding my
eyes' movements from oth—
**[07:54] Komari**
*For some reason I say*
**[07:56] Komari**
* things that don't need to be said*
* around Midousuji-san.*
**[07:58] Komari**
*It's because of those eyes.*
**[08:00] (Flashback) Midousuji**
If you keep making superficial
excuses and trying to fool people,
**[08:04] (Flashback) Midousuji**
you'll never see the truth.
**[08:09] (Flashback) Midousuji**
If you're trying to find something,
take those ornaments off.
**[08:14] (Flashback) Midousuji**
Those decorations.

**[08:17] (Flashback) Midousuji**
If you want the truth, you have
to offer up your entire self.
**[08:31] Komari**
*I ran...*
**[08:34] Komari**
*What are those eyes?*
**[08:36] Komari**
* When he speaks to me,*
* those eyes shake my heart.*
**[08:39] Komari**
*Why?*
**[08:41] Komari**
*I want the truth. It's what I really want.*
**[08:44] Komari**
*I want to touch them and see for myself.*
**[08:48] Komari**
*I want to know, but I must conceal it.*
**[08:56] Komari**
*Why? Why am I turning back?*
**[09:01] Komari**
* Should I be doing this? Is this*
* really the right thing?*
**[09:05] Komari**
*I might be on the verge of opening*
**[09:07] Komari**
*a wrapping that should stay closed!*
**[09:15] (Flashback) Komari**
Midousuji-san!
**[09:16] (Flashback) Komari**
I want to touch your muscles!
**[09:20] (Flashback) Komari**
What should I do?
**[09:23] (Flashback) Midousuji**
I see.
**[09:34] (Flashback) Rider 1**
What's gotten into you, kid?
**[09:36] (Flashback) Rider 1**
Midousuji's not a girl.
**[09:38] (Flashback) Rider 2**
It'd be even worse if he were a girl.
**[09:40] (Flashback) Rider 3**
Hey, Midousuji. He wants
to touch your muscles.
**[09:44] (Flashback) Rider 3**
Go on and let him.
**[09:49] (Flashback) Komari**
Muscles...
**[09:50] Midousuji**
*This man... I see.*
**[09:53] Midousuji**
*Muscles. Muscles, huh?*
**[09:56] Midousuji**
* You don't just want to look at muscles,*
* you want to touch them and see how they feel.*
**[10:02] Midousuji**
*That's your truth!*
**[10:15] (Flashback) Komari**
Mi... dousuji-san...
**[10:18] (Flashback) Midousuji**
Touching...
**[10:19] (Flashback) Midousuji**
Coming in contact with another person's body.
**[10:24] (Flashback) Midousuji**
That's not easy.
**[10:26] (Flashback) Komari**
I've always wanted to touch
them since I was a child.
**[10:30] (Flashback) Komari**
But I've restrained myself.
**[10:33] (Flashback) Komari**
I've kept my desire in check.
**[10:36] (Flashback) Komari**
But I can't anymore.
**[10:38] (Flashback) Komari**
I want to touch you after
hearing what you said!
**[10:42] (Flashback) Komari**
The fence is in the way!
**[10:43] (Flashback) Komari**
This fence is always getting in the way!
**[10:45] (Flashback) Midousuji**
Do you want to cross that
fence and come over here?
**[10:50] (Flashback) Komari**
Yes.
**[10:54] (Flashback) Midousuji**
Then you'll have to ride a bike!
**[11:02] (Flashback) Komari**
Yes, I understand.
**[11:04] (Flashback) Komari**
I'm glad to have an answer.
**[11:12] Komari**
Since that day,
***SIGN*** Arashiyama Bicycle Park
**[11:15] Komari**
I've been riding bikes like a man possessed.
**[11:18] Komari**
*Bicycles are amazing...*
**[11:22] Komari**
* Because we're moving at the same speed,*
* I can see his leaping muscles up close.*
**[11:32] (Flashback) Rider A**
Hey, are you okay?
**[11:35] (Flashback) Komari**
I must go after him immediately!
**[11:37] (Flashback) Komari**
I must see more of Midousuji-san!
**[11:40] (Flashback) Rider A**
He's Kishigami, right? He's good.
**[11:43] (Flashback) Rider A**
He's just a beginner, but he's got guts.
**[11:46] Komari**
*I'm catching up!*
**[11:48] (Flashback) Midousuji**
Let you touch my muscles?
**[11:52] (Flashback) Midousuji**
Sure, you can.
**[11:54] (Flashback) Midousuji**
If you can catch me, that is.
**[11:58] (Flashback) Midousuji**
On a bike.
**[12:00] Komari**
*I will catch up, Midousuji-san!*
**[12:03] Komari**
*Midousuji-san is so kind!*
**[12:05] Komari**
*I will catch up!*
**[12:06] Komari**
*To those muscles!*
**[12:10] Midousuji**
*Kishigami... huh.*
**[12:12] Midousuji**
*Was Komari his name?*
**[12:15] Midousuji**
*He's growing.*
**[12:17] Midousuji**
* His growth since he started riding is*
* clearly different from an ordinary person's.*
**[12:24] Midousuji**
*No, it doesn't matter.*
**[12:28] Midousuji**
*I am me.*

*He seems so classy.*

*Okay. All the first-years are here.*

He probably joined the team to ride,
**[13:11] (Flashback) First Year**
but he's being made to give massages.
**[13:13] (Flashback) First Year**
I feel sorry for him.
**[13:18] (Flashback) Komari**
It took two years for me to get here.
**[13:22] (Flashback) Komari**
Thank you, Midousuji-san.
**[13:25] (Flashback) Komari**
This feels good.
**[13:27] (Flashback) Midousuji**
I'm not doing this for you.
**[13:30] (Flashback) Midousuji**
I'm just using you, because you happen
to be good at giving massages.
**[13:35] (Flashback) Komari**
This is the best.
**[13:36] (Flashback) Komari**
These are truly good muscles.
**[13:38] (Flashback) Komari**
They tingle! They flex!
**[13:40] (Flashback) Komari**
They turn! They bounce!
**[13:43] (Flashback) Komari**
Oh, look how much!
**[13:45] (Flashback) Midousuji**
You...
**[13:47] (Flashback) Komari**
I'm sorry for playing with your muscles.
**[13:50] (Flashback) Komari**
I was so engrossed in them.
**[13:53] (Flashback) Komari**
But I am fulfilled now.
**[13:56] (Flashback) Komari**
I finally got to touch your muscles.
**[14:00] (Flashback) Midousuji**
Is that enough to satisfy you?
**[14:02] (Flashback) Komari**
What? Yes, of course.
**[14:05] (Flashback) Komari**
You're letting me touch you.
**[14:07] (Flashback) Komari**
After all, I can't be greedy.
**[14:10] (Flashback) Midousuji**
But you must be!
**[14:13] (Flashback) Midousuji**
Are you satisfied?
**[14:16] (Flashback) Midousuji**
You're still keeping yourself under wraps.
**[14:19] (Flashback) Komari**
Huh?
**[14:20] (Flashback) Midousuji**
Fulfillment and satisfaction are different.
**[14:23] (Flashback) Midousuji**
When we first met, you said
you wanted leaping muscles.
**[14:30] (Flashback) Midousuji**
Surely stationary muscles like the ones
you're touching now don't satisfy you.
**[14:35] (Flashback) Midousuji**
Don't you need to touch moving muscles?
**[14:39] (Flashback) Midousuji**
You must crystallize your desires.
**[14:41] (Flashback) Midousuji**
You must open your wrapping further!
**[14:45] (Flashback) Midousuji**
And the case inside that wrapping!
**[14:48] (Flashback) Komari**
The case...
**[14:50] (Flashback) Midousuji**
Do you want to go to the
Inter-High this summer?
**[14:55] (Flashback) Midousuji**
The good muscles you desire will
be swarming all over the place
**[15:00] (Flashback) Midousuji**
at the front of the Inter-High!
**[15:12] Komari**
There really are good muscles swarming
all over the front of the Inter-High,
**[15:16] Komari**
Midousuji-san!
**[15:17] Fan 1**
700 meters remaining to the sprint line!
**[15:20] Fan 2**
Hakone Academy third-year Izumida and
Kyoto Fushimi third-year Hironishi!
**[15:23] Fan 2**
It's a battle of the third-years!
**[15:24] Fan 1**
No, wait!
**[15:26] Fan 1**
Now that I get a closer look, the pamphlet
and starting list are different!
**[15:28] Fan 1**
Kishigami? Who's that?
***SIGN*** Absent 3rd Hironishi Sakudai

**[15:31] Fan 1**
They subbed out #116!
**[15:33] Fan**
What?
**[15:33] Rider A**
That's Kishigami Komari.
**[15:36] Rider A**
You can't be serious. He was
a total newbie until recently.
**[15:39] Rider A**
He didn't even know what gears were.
**[15:41] Rider A**
He's still a first-year!
**[15:43] Fan 3**
Seriously?
**[15:44] Fan 4**
First-year against third-year? Wow!
**[15:46] Fans**
Kishigami!
**[15:46] Fans**
Go, Kyoto!
**[15:47] Fans**
Kishigami!
**[15:49] Izumida**
The fans have noticed.
**[15:51] Izumida**
Does hearing these cheers
not raise your morale?
**[15:54] Komari**
Not much!
**[15:58] Komari**
I'm sorry. The heat made me lose my balance.
**[16:01] Fan 3**
What was that? A declaration of war?
**[16:04] Fan 4**
A first-year challenging a third-year?
**[16:06] Izumida**
I see. In other words,
you think you can do it?
**[16:09] Komari**
Is that what you heard?
**[16:12] Komari**
Yes. After all, I'll win.
**[16:15] Komari**
I can't reach leaping muscles
if I cross the line from behind.
**[16:20] Komari**
In order to touch the ultimate muscles,
**[16:23] Komari**
I must cross the finish line first!
**[16:27] Fan**
600 meters to go!
**[16:29] Komari**
Until then, my hands are
bound to these handles.
**[16:33] Komari**
You don't have to worry.
**[16:37] Komari**
I've kept myself under wraps for a long time!
**[16:40] Komari**
Despite my behavior,
I have a lot of restraint!
**[16:43] Izumida**
Pressure...
**[16:44] Izumida**
And not as another participant.
**[16:45] Izumida**
Pressure as a human. He's strong.
**[16:48] Izumida**
Interesting. It seems
you're a worthy opponent.
**[16:52] Izumida**
I'll win. And Hakone Academy will
achieve its first true victory!
**[16:56] Komari**
Muscles don't lie!
**[16:59] Izumida**
Let's race, Kishigami-kun!
**[17:01] Izumida**
Let's see who crosses the sprint line first!
**[17:03] Izumida**
Are you ready?
**[17:04] Izumida**
Here we go, Andy, Frank. It's our final...
**[17:09] Izumida**
Our final job!
**[17:10] Fan**
500 meters remain to the Inter-High's
second day's sprint line!
**[17:14] Izumida**
We'll take the sprint!
**[17:16] Izumida**
Abs, abs, abs, abs, abs, abs!
**[17:19] Izumida**
Buaaa!
**[17:20] Izumida**
I am a sprinter...
**[17:22] Izumida**
Tag #14.
**[17:24] Izumida**
The man bearing the proud
Hakone Academy's #4.
**[17:28] Izumida**
I am simultaneously the
captain who carries the team.
**[17:32] Izumida**
I must always make the right call.
**[17:34] Izumida**
I must always make decisions,
and I must always achieve results.
**[17:38] Izumida**
Our reputation transformed
from "strong" and "amazing"
**[17:41] Izumida**
to "it's expected" and "the natural outcome."
**[17:44] Izumida**
And in order to carry on
that tradition, I work tirelessly.
**[17:47] Izumida**
I give my time, I give my spirit,
**[17:51] Izumida**
and I give my body and soul
to become stronger and faster.
**[17:54] Izumida**
But there's an old saying in the
Hakone Academy bicycle racing club.
**[18:00] Izumida**
"Don't expect praise from anyone."
**[18:03] Izumida**
"Otherwise, you can't be the
Captain of Hakone Academy."
**[18:06] (Flashback) Izumida**
Resolve?
**[18:08] (Flashback) Fukutomi**
That's right.
**[18:10] (Flashback) Fukutomi**
No one will praise you for your efforts.
**[18:13] (Flashback) Izumida**
O-Of course not.
**[18:15] (Flashback) Izumida**
Hard work isn't something you do to be seen.
**[18:18] (Flashback) Fukutomi**
Will you be able to say those
words under all circumstances?
**[18:22] (Flashback) Fukutomi**
When things get hard?
When you want to give up?
**[18:24] (Flashback) Fukutomi**
When you desire recognition?
**[18:26] (Flashback) Fukutomi**
You're only human. Those moments
will come eventually.
**[18:30] (Flashback) Fukutomi**
But you must suppress them, swallow them,
shake them off, and keep on working.
**[18:36] (Flashback) Fukutomi**
"If only someone would say something kind
to me, I could try a little harder."
**[18:41] (Flashback) Fukutomi**
If you've ever thought that,
abandon that hope.
**[18:45] (Flashback) Fukutomi**
You won't get it.
**[18:47] (Flashback) Fukutomi**
We're expected to be strong.
We're expected to win.
**[18:50] (Flashback) Fukutomi**
After all, Hakone Academy are the champions.
**[18:53] (Flashback) Fukutomi**
Can you move forward without praise?
**[18:55] (Flashback) Fukutomi**
Can you charge full speed
through the darkness?
**[18:58] (Flashback) Fukutomi**
Can you carry everything and win,
no matter the circumstances?
**[19:03] (Flashback) Fukutomi**
That's the resolve it takes to be the captain
**[19:05] (Flashback) Fukutomi**
of the Hakone Academy Bicycle Racing Club.
**[19:07] (Flashback) Izumida**
Yes...
**[19:09] (Flashback) Izumida**
Yes, sir!
**[19:11] Izumida**
I will win, no matter the circumstances.
**[19:14] Izumida**
A sprinter is a pointed spear.
**[19:16] Izumida**
In the past year, I have been polishing
this spear while no one was watching.
**[19:22] Izumida**
My spear will pierce the line faster
and more beautifully than anyone else!
**[19:26] Izumida**
Abs!
**[19:27] Izumida**
Abs! Abs!
**[19:28] Izumida**
Abs! Abs!
**[19:29] Izumida**
Abs!
**[19:32] Komari**
I told you, I can read your movements.
**[19:34] Komari**
I just told you.
**[19:37] Fan**
#116's reactions are so fast!
**[19:39] Fan**
He caught up, even though Izumida accelerated!
**[19:41] Fan**
It's like #116 was already
moving by the time Izumida moved!
**[19:44] Komari**
Muscles are honest. Fakes don't work.
**[19:47] Komari**
You order them to move,
and they enter the motion.
**[19:50] Komari**
They begin moving hundredths of
seconds before they enter the motion.
**[19:54] Komari**
Especially yours, Izumida-san.
**[19:56] Komari**
Your muscles are particularly honest.
**[19:58] Komari**
And I won't miss a thing.
**[20:01] Komari**
I will win because I know everything
you'll do before the finish line!
**[20:09] ---**
**[20:13] Izumida**
He's in front?
**[20:14] Fan**
Kyoto Fushimi's accelerating now?
**[20:17] Fan**
Hakone Academy got a late start!
**[20:18] Fan**
There's 300 meters remaining
to the sprint line!
**[20:22] Izumida**
He took advantage of a moment's opening!
**[20:23] Izumida**
I can't believe he's jumping ahead now!
**[20:26] Izumida**
He'll conserve his energy
until the last hundred meters
**[20:28] Izumida**
and match my pace, then attack at the end.
**[20:32] Izumida**
So I just need to make sure I
don't go all out until the end.
**[20:36] Izumida**
Did you see the slight slackness in my muscles
when I thought that, Kishigami Komari?
**[20:42] Fan**
Kyoto Fushimi's staying ahead!
**[20:46] Izumida**
Abs, abs, abs!
**[20:48] Fan**
There's 200 meters left!
**[20:49] Fan**
After the corner, there's only
80 meters to the sprint line!
**[20:53] Fan**
Is he going to do it?
**[20:55] Fan**
First-year Kishigami is about
to upset Hakone Academy!
**[20:57] Fan**
Kishigami!
**[20:58] Fan**
Kishigami!
**[20:59] Fan**
Kyoto Fushimi!
**[21:00] Komari**
I don't care about their cheers.
**[21:02] Komari**
I want to touch muscles. That's all.
**[21:05] Komari**
There's nothing blocking me anymore!
**[21:08] Mom**
You spilled it. I told you so.
**[21:12] Mom**
Here, wrap it up with this.
**[21:14] Mom**
Wrap it up.
**[21:18] Komari**
Huh?
**[21:23] Komari**
Wrap...?
**[21:28] Komari**
I won't wrap up anything anymore!
**[21:30] Fan**
There's 100 meters to the sprint line!
**[23:07] Komari**
Yamaguchi-san, this is a gift from me.
**[23:10] Yamaguchi**
Huh?
**[23:11] Yamaguchi**
Kishigami got a gift? For me?
**[23:14] Yamaguchi**
What's with this box? Why is it closed?
**[23:17] Yamaguchi**
He must be up to something.
**[23:19] Yamaguchi**
It's preposterous for him to give me a gift.
**[23:20] Yamaguchi**
Why me? This is terrifying!
**[23:23] Komari**
You're not going to open it?
**[23:25] Yamaguchi**
Oh, yeah...
**[23:33] Komari**
It's sakuramochi. It's good.

***SIGN*** LINE.15 The Sprint Line of Delight
**[03:44] Fan B**
Hakone Academy!
**[03:47] Komari**
One hundred meters to the sprint line!
**[03:50] Komari**
The line is just on the other
side of this left turn!
**[03:56] Komari**
There's nothing blocking me anymore!
**[04:01] Izumida**
He's ahead of me.
**[04:03] Izumida**
But just barely.
**[04:05] Izumida**
There's 100 meters left.
**[04:07] Izumida**
I'll wait to brake until the last second...
**[04:14] Izumida**
And force my body
**[04:17] Izumida**
into the inside of the last corner!
**[04:21] Izumida**
I did it.
**[04:23] Izumida**
There's only 80 meters to the finish line.
**[04:25] Izumida**
It's an all-out sprint!
**[04:30] Izumida**
What?
**[04:32] Fan 3**
There's something on the course!
**[04:35] Izumida**
A plastic bottle?
**[04:38] Izumida**
It's not uncommon for debris
to be on the course.
**[04:43] Izumida**
But this timing...
**[04:46] Izumida**
Kishighami's ahead of me and moving fast.
**[04:50] Izumida**
Should I charge ahead and risk falling
**[04:54] Izumida**
or brake to avoid danger?
**[04:58] Izumida**
I don't have much time or distance left.
**[05:02] Izumida**
I can see the line.
**[05:04] Izumida**
If I brake at this speed, I'll lose
seconds and the chance to win.
**[05:12] Izumida**
Andy and Frank are ordering me to avoid it.
"It's too dangerous. Squeeze the brakes."
**[05:20] Izumida**
They're absolutely right.
**[05:22] Izumida**
There's no reason to deliberately take risks
**[05:25] Izumida**
when you're not at the finish line!
**[05:29] Izumida**
I'll never win anything unless I take
risks and desperately charge ahead.
**[05:33] Izumida**
Isn't that what I learned?
**[05:39] Izumida**
Andy, Frank... I'm sorry.
**[05:45] Izumida**
Please be quiet!
**[05:52] Izumida**
What's important is identifying your goal,
**[05:57] Izumida**
and how much of a risk you can take.
**[06:01] Izumida**
So I must charge straight
ahead without hesitation!
**[06:06] Izumida**
Toward my goal!
**[06:08] Izumida**
Abs, abs, abs, abs, buaaa!
**[06:12] Fan 4**
Straight ahead? No way!
**[06:15] Fan 5**
Does he not see it?
**[06:23] Fan 6**
His rear tire slipped!
**[06:25] Fan 7**
He's falling!
**[06:28] Izumida**
Control!
**[06:30] Izumida**
Shift your weight and maintain your posture
**[06:33] Izumida**
without letting up on the pedals.
**[06:36] Izumida**
Hold your posture!
**[06:39] Izumida**
Hold it!
**[06:43] Komari**
How unlucky.
**[06:46] Komari**
Excuse me while I go on ahead.
**[06:49] Izumida**
Hold it!
**[06:56] Izumida**
My tire's grip is back.
**[06:58] Izumida**
From now on, it's all out!
**[07:00] Izumida**
Abs, abs, abs, abs, abs, abs!
**[07:03] Fan 10**
He just barely restored his posture!
**[07:05] Fan 11**
He's accelerating!
**[07:07] Izumida**
And don't take your eyes off your goal.
**[07:11] Izumida**
Abs, abs, abs, abs, abs, abs!
**[07:13] Izumida**
"Unlucky."
**[07:15] Izumida**
Let me tell you, Kishigami...
**[07:18] Izumida**
You can't know that for sure
until the line's been crossed.
**[07:23] Izumida**
"Unlucky" can be changed to "lucky."
**[07:28] Izumida**
And that's something only
you can do for yourself!
**[07:32] Fan 12**
Hakone Academy's closing!
**[07:34] Fan 13**
Was he resting his legs while
pedaling when he slipped?
**[07:46] (Flashback) Arakita**
Idiot.
**[07:48] (Flashback) Arakita**
Quit your crying, Izumida.
**[07:51] (Flashback) Izumida**
But Hakone Academy placed second!
**[07:56] (Flashback) Izumida**
I... I...
**[07:59] (Flashback) Arakita**
Crying about second place is our job.
**[08:03] (Flashback) Izumida**
What?
**[08:04] (Flashback) Arakita**
If you place second again next year,
you can cry your eyes out then.
**[08:10] (Flashback) Arakita**
You've still got a job to do.
**[08:12] (Flashback) Arakita**
Tedious stuff like analyzing and
deciding what needs to be strengthened.
**[08:18] (Flashback) Arakita**
Your results aren't out yet.
**[08:22] (Flashback) Arakita**
So...
**[08:25] (Flashback) Arakita**
Achieve something next year.
**[08:30] Izumida**
Yes, sir!
**[08:32] Izumida**
I will!
**[08:34] Izumida**
Abuaaa!
**[08:36] Fan 14**
50 meters left! They're neck and neck!
**[08:40] Komari**
What is he doing here?
**[08:43] Komari**
No, that doesn't matter right now.
**[08:46] Komari**
I just need to keep racing toward the line,
**[08:49] Komari**
so I can touch those good muscles!
**[08:53] Fan 15**
Izumida caught up!
**[08:55] Fan 16**
Go, Kishigami!
**[08:57] Fan 17**
They're both going all out!
**[09:01] Komari**
40 meters...
**[09:02] Izumida**
...remaining!
**[09:07] Izumida**
Tremble, my muscles!
**[09:12] Izumida**
They're screaming.
**[09:16] Izumida**
All the muscles in my body.
**[09:20] Izumida**
My abused muscle fibers are tearing audibly.
**[09:26] Izumida**
And my burdened muscle fibers
will heal overnight when I rest.
**[09:32] Izumida**
They will become stronger, thicker,
and more flexible as they heal.
**[09:38] Izumida**
Those are the basics of strength training.
**[09:42] Izumida**
I've always felt the sprint
before the finish line...
**[09:47] Izumida**
Going all out. That tension.
**[09:50] Izumida**
For me, that is the ultimate
strength training!
**[09:55] Izumida**
Abs!
**[09:58] Izumida**
Andy, Frank. And you, Fabian.
**[10:03] Izumida**
I'm sorry for ignoring your warning earlier.
**[10:07] Izumida**
Thank you for listening to me.
**[10:10] Izumida**
It's all right now.
**[10:12] Izumida**
Come on out. Come on.
**[10:19] Izumida**
And rampage to your heart's content!
**[10:22] Izumida**
For our Hakone Academy's victory!
**[10:30] Izumida**
Compress my heart, pump blood through
my body, take oxygen into my chest,
**[10:38] Izumida**
and push me beyond light speed!
**[10:49] Izumida**
Beyond!
**[10:52] Izumida**
Abuaaa!
**[10:55] Fan 18**
Hakone Academy pulled slightly ahead!
**[10:58] Komari**
Ahead?
**[10:59] Komari**
But he just slipped back there!
**[11:03] Komari**
Is the acceleration of
Hakone Academy's #4 this...
**[11:09] Komari**
This? This?
**[11:13] Komari**
Huh? I can see it...
**[11:18] Komari**
A field of flowers!
**[11:22] Komari**
I see it!
**[11:33] Komari**
A field of muscles!
**[11:36] Fan 19**
Kyoto Fushimi accelerated again!
**[11:38] Fan 20**
Most guys lose hope and decelerate when
they're passed before the finish line,
**[11:44] Fan 20**
but he's still pedaling!
**[11:46] Fan 20**
What incredible mental strength!
**[11:49] Komari**
A field!
**[11:51] Izumida**
Abuaaa!
**[12:01] Izumida**
Abs!
**[12:04] Izumida**

**[12:06] Izumida**

**[12:18] Announce**
The winner of the second day's sprint is...
**[12:24] Izumida**
Sorry to keep you waiting.
**[12:29] Announce**
Hakone Academy #14, third-year, captain,
**[12:34] Announce**
Izumida Touichirou!
**[12:39] Izumida**
Abua! Abua! Abua!
**[12:45] Izumida**
Now the champions truly have
reclaimed their throne!
**[12:54] Hakogaku 1**
Izumida-san!
**[12:55] Hakogaku 2**
Captain!
**[12:56] Hakogaku 3**
You did it, Izumida-san!
**[13:00] Izumida**
Thanks, guys.
**[13:03] Hakogaku 1**
Izumida-san, over here!
**[13:15] Izumida**
Shin... Shinkai-san...
**[13:19] Shinkai**
I came to watch, Izumida.
**[13:27] Shinkai**
That was an awesome sprint.
**[13:33] Izumida**
Shinkai-san...
**[13:39] Izumida**
Shinkai-san.
**[13:41] Izumida**
It was a heavy and difficult year.
**[13:47] Izumida**
"A sprinter can't be the captain."
**[13:50] Izumida**
"Last year's loss."
**[13:53] Izumida**
There were times I nearly couldn't
withstand those pressures.
**[14:00] Izumida**
But now I feel like some
of it's been wiped away.
**[14:06] Izumida**
I carried the strong Hakone
Academy team on my back,
**[14:10] Izumida**
created a new team with my teammates,
and carved a new path.
**[14:19] Izumida**
Shinkai-san...
**[14:22] Izumida**
Shinkai-san, am I...
**[14:26] Izumida**
on the right path?
**[14:30] Shinkai**
Izumida...
**[14:32] Shinkai**
The captain's position and tag #4...
**[14:37] Shinkai**
I'm glad we entrusted both of those to you.
**[14:41] Shinkai**
You're the pride of Hakone Academy.
**[14:44] Shinkai**
You're the fastest man!
**[14:47] Izumida**
Abs!
**[14:48] Fan**
Hakone Academy is amazing!
**[14:50] Fan**
I got chills!
**[14:54] Izumida**
Shinkai-san,
**[14:58] Izumida**
thank you so—
**[15:05] Izumida**
That's Shinkai-san's Kapow Pose.
**[15:09] Izumida**
It means he'll definitely
take down his target.
**[15:12] Izumida**
No, that's not it.
**[15:15] Izumida**
Now it's a kapow of appreciation.
**[15:23] Izumida**
Thank you!
**[15:27] Hakogaku 1**
He's gone.
**[15:28] Hakogaku 2**
It was only for a moment.
**[15:30] Hakogaku 2**
If this were the finish line,
we could've talked longer.
**[15:35] Shinkai**
A moment...
**[15:39] Shinkai**
Some things can only be conveyed in a moment.
**[15:55] Komari**
I wanted to touch them!
**[15:58] Izumida**
Kishigami Komari...
**[16:03] Komari**
I was supposed to be able to touch them.
**[16:04] Komari**
I pulled ahead 300 meters before the line.
**[16:08] Komari**
You closed the gap during the turn,
but then you slipped on some debris.
**[16:13] Komari**
I thought I had won.
**[16:15] Komari**
After all, from your muscle mass
and movements, I expected
**[16:21] Komari**
that you wouldn't catch me
by the end of the sprint!
**[16:24] Komari**
But you did.
**[16:27] Komari**
In other words, it was that moment.
**[16:31] Komari**
In that moment, your muscles...
**[16:34] Komari**
They became larger, stronger...
**[16:41] Komari**
And far more swollen than I had imagined!
**[16:46] Komari**
More virile!
**[16:48] Komari**
Fiercer!
**[16:52] Komari**
Your muscles exceeded my expectations.
**[16:57] Komari**
They are the highest-quality muscles.
**[17:02] Komari**
How did you forge them?
**[17:05] Komari**
I thought I knew.
**[17:08] Komari**
But your muscles exceeded my imagination.
**[17:19] Izumida**
Do you want to touch my muscles?
**[17:28] Izumida**
I don't mind. After all, the race is over.
**[17:53] Komari**
No, thank you.
**[17:55] Komari**
I made a rule that I would only touch
them if I crossed the line first.
**[18:02] Izumida**
A rule?
**[18:05] Izumida**
This man has his own aesthetic, too.
**[18:11] Izumida**
What a sportsman.
**[18:13] Izumida**
Though you're my opponent,
I admire your spirit.
**[18:17] Komari**
No, I was just raised that way.
**[18:24] Komari**
I really wanted to touch them.
**[18:34] Izumida**
This guy is still a first-year.
**[18:38] Izumida**
Whatever his motivation,
**[18:40] Izumida**
as long as he keeps riding, he may
eventually pose a threat to Hakone Academy.
**[18:47] Izumida**
No, I should be focusing
on this race right now.
**[18:53] Izumida**
The sprint is over.
**[18:55] Izumida**
The course will be flat for
a while, but after that,
**[19:01] Izumida**
we'll enter the mountain stage.
**[19:04] Izumida**
The climbers will make their move.

**[19:08] Hakogaku 2**
Thanks for coming.
**[19:10] Hakogaku 2**
Really, thank you so much for
coming to watch the race.
**[19:14] Shinkai**
There's no need to be so considerate of me.
**[19:16] Hakogaku 3**
Is everyone who graduated doing well?
**[19:23] Shinkai**
Why don't you ask them yourself?
**[19:30] All**
Fu...
**[19:33] All**
Fukutomi-san!
**[19:38] Shinkai**
I felt more nervous watching him.
**[19:40] Shinkai**
I felt more relaxed when I was riding.
**[19:44] Shinkai**
Did you not want him to see you, Juichi?
**[19:48] Fukutomi**
No. Just watching his sprint was enough.
**[19:53] Fukutomi**
He managed to wipe away
the guilt he was carrying.
**[19:58] Fukutomi**
Izumida did well.
**[20:02] Shinkai**
He would've been happy to hear that from you.
**[20:05] Fukutomi**
Hakone Academy's captain isn't
someone who should be praised.
**[20:11] Shinkai**
You're strict.
**[20:13] Shinkai**
Come to think of it, I heard
he was coming today.
**[20:17] Shinkai**
Is he late?
**[20:18] Fukutomi**
No. I got a call this morning.
**[20:21] Fukutomi**
He's watching from somewhere else today.

It will be decided.
**[21:02] Toudou**
After all, this is the only stage
**[21:07] Toudou**
where they can race without any distractions.
**[21:13] Toudou**

**[01:54] Naruko**
It's suddenly muggy. The air's hot.
**[01:58] Naruko**
The temperature rose sharply
once we exited the tunnel.
**[02:01] Naruko**
Our elevation must have
decreased quite a bit.
**[02:04] Naruko**
Once this downhill ends, we'll be in Numata.
**[02:08] Naruko**
From there, the road will
be flat for a while.
**[02:10] Naruko**
But once that ends,
we'll enter the mountains.
**[02:14] Naruko**
Naturally, since I'm a genius, I won't let
Hakone Academy or Kyoto Fushimi get away.
**[02:19] Naruko**
But honestly, having to do all of it
myself puts me at a disadvantage.
**[02:30] Naruko**
Damn!
**[02:32] Naruko**
Kyoto Fushimi's staggering their line
**[02:34] Naruko**
and moving around so I can't get
out of the wind behind them.
**[02:37] Naruko**
Is this one of Midousuji's phases?
**[02:40] Naruko**
They're absolutely right.
**[02:42] Naruko**
If I want to get out of the wind, I should
go get some of my own teammates.
**[02:46] Naruko**
Right now, I'm just an eyesore.
They won't cooperate with me.
**[02:52] Naruko**
My legs are starting to feel modestly
exhausted from this modest attack.
**[02:56] Naruko**
No, wait. I'm a genius.
**[03:00] Naruko**
I can handle this myself.
**[03:03] Naruko**
I won't let modesty beat me!
**[03:06] Naruko**
But...
**[03:07] Naruko**
It would be easier if they caught up.
**[03:12] Naruko**
My team...
**[03:14] Naruko**
Onoda-kun...
**[03:16] Naruko**
Teshima-san...
**[03:18] Naruko**
Hotshot!
**[03:20] Naruko**
Come on!
**[03:22] Naruko**
Catch up!
**[03:28] Teshima**
This is hopeless.
**[03:30] Sakamichi**
Teshima-san, I'll switch with you.
**[03:33] Teshima**
Thanks, Onoda.
**[03:34] Sakamichi**
We'll catch up to the front somehow.
**[03:39] Teshima**
Our situation couldn't be worse.
**[03:41] Teshima**
We're pretty far behind the front.
**[03:44] Teshima**
I wish we could catch up,
but they're six plus six plus one.
**[03:49] Teshima**
That's thirteen riders. There's only three of us.
**[03:53] Teshima**
And one of us is a climber who
won't be good on the flats.

Sugimoto was tearing up.
**[04:27] Teshima**
In fact, he was crying.
**[04:30] Teshima**
I was in the feed zone last
year and the year before.
**[04:32] Teshima**
I know what it's like
**[04:35] Teshima**
to wait and wait for your team to come.
**[04:39] Teshima**
It makes you want to cry, but...
**[04:43] Teshima**
This time, I have to do something
about this situation.
**[04:48] Teshima**
But how?
**[04:55] Ise**
You must be slow if you're
still hanging around here.
**[04:59] Ise**
This year's Sohoku team sure is slow.
**[05:04] Teshima**
Pursuers? You can't be serious.
**[05:06] Teshima**
They caught up to us from behind?
**[05:09] Ise**
You're slower than last year.

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

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

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

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

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

**[05:29] Hakogaku 1**
Yes. Uh, we just got word
from the club members below.
**[05:34] Hakogaku 1**
Ashikiba-san and Shinkai-kun are
going after Kyoto Fushimi's ace.
**[05:39] Hakogaku 1**
Unfortunately, the race for the
finish line has... already started...
**[05:45] Hakogaku 1**
I-I'm sorry.
**[05:47] Hakogaku 1**
You came all the way out
here to see the race, too.
**[05:51] Toudou**
What are you apologizing for? It's no matter.
**[05:55] Toudou**
That's just how road races are.
**[06:00] Toudou**
So you didn't get to go, Manami.
**[06:04] Toudou**
I know you.
**[06:05] Toudou**
I'm sure you searched repeatedly
**[06:08] Toudou**
for opportunities to race against four-eyes.
**[06:11] Toudou**
It couldn't be helped.
**[06:13] Toudou**
But the race isn't over yet.

You'll have other opportunities.

Wh-Where are you going, Toudou-san?
***SIGN*** Elevation
**[06:24] Toudou**
I came all the way here.
**[06:26] Toudou**
I'm heading down to the finish line
to watch the race from there.
**[06:33] Toudou**
It's a bit too sad to see a mountain line
race that isn't led by a climber.
**[06:39] Hakogaku 1**
His aura is incredible.
**[06:42] Hakogaku 2**
That's the Mountain God,
the legendary Toudou-san.
**[06:46] Hakogaku 2**
I actually spoke to him.
**[06:50] Toudou**
Hakone Academy has won all
the number tags so far.
**[06:54] Toudou**
Since Izumida took the sprint,
they've gained even more momentum.
**[06:58] Toudou**
But there are other powerful teams
who won't take that lying down.
**[07:03] Toudou**
They'll do whatever it takes to win.
**[07:07] Toudou**
This finish line won't be easily taken.
**[07:11] Toudou**
Kyoto Fushimi and Sohoku will
make desperate plays for it, too.

Approaching Kyoto Fushimi.
**[07:20] Yuto**
We might be able to catch up.

them is slowing them down.
**[07:26] Ashikiba**

Your teammates aren't coming!

It's just a delusion!
**[07:57] Midousuji**
A wish that won't come true!
**[07:59] Naruko**
Someone will come!
I have a feeling they will.
**[08:04] Naruko**
It'll be real close and down to the wire,
**[08:08] Naruko**
but someone who doesn't think
he's hot stuff will come!
**[08:14] Midousuji**

There's no getting through to you with words.
**[08:19] Naruko**
Come.

I'll have to use my body to make you

#3, Naruko!
**[08:52] Mizuto**
He hit the guard rail...
**[08:54] Mizuto**
He fell! We did it!
**[08:57] Midousuji**
Don't worry. He was at his limit, after all.
**[09:02] Midousuji**
He would've fallen either way.
**[09:04] Midousuji**
It was just a matter whether it was ten seconds
from now or thirty seconds from now.
**[09:08] Naruko**
Come on, Sohoku. Damn it.
**[09:12] Naruko**
Wait up, Midousuji.
**[09:15] Yuto**
Kyoto Fushimi's #111 forced
Sohoku out of his way.

He did everything he could, but Sohoku is...

Sohoku's Naruko...
**[09:28] Naruko**

So come.

I can't make it this far

**[11:07] Imaizumi**
So I'll say it.

He's fine. There was still life in his eyes.

Teshima-san and the others will pick him up.

He's pushed himself to his limit.
**[12:04] Imaizumi**
Thanks to you, we caught up, Naruko.

We'd better do our job, too.

We're carrying his and the team's hopes.

Let's go, Onoda!
**[12:19] Imaizumi**
We'll take our jerseys

Yeah!

Why are you casually cycling?

Hold on. Wait, Midousuji-kun.

I thought I heard you say
it's fine if I fall apart.
**[12:58] Mizuta**
I-I'm the captain.

I'm your talented launching pad.

**[14:02] Mizuta**
Inter-High's King of the Mountain?
**[14:06] Yuto**
They suddenly raised their pace again!
**[14:08] Mizuta**
I'm glad I stayed on the
team for three years!
**[14:11] Mizuta**
The Inter-High's King of the Mountain!
**[14:14] Girl**
You're amazing, Mizuta-kun.
**[14:17] Mizuta**
Me, Mizuta Nobuyuki!
**[14:21] Mizuta**
Despite everything you say, you really
do care about me, Midousuji-kun!
**[14:26] Midousuji**
I'll use everything I can to win.
**[14:31] Midousuji**
Go, Zaku!
**[14:33] Midousuji**
Show me your limit!
**[14:39] Yuto**
The lead they got earlier
is really hurting us!
**[14:41] Yuto**
We're so close, but we can't close the gap!
**[14:44] Yuto**
They're trying to hold this
lead to the finish line!
**[14:47] Yuto**
After the mountain line
is downhills and flats.
**[14:50] Yuto**
It'll be hard to close the gap there.
***SIGN*** Road Race*
Distance to Day 2
Mountain Checkpoint
**[14:52] Yuto**
We have to catch up to them in the mountains.
**[14:55] Yuto**
Otherwise, the finish line...
**[14:57] Yuto**
What should we do, Ashikiba-san?
**[15:01] Yuto**
What is this rising pressure?
**[15:05] Ashikiba**
That's...
**[15:07] Imaizumi**
We have to catch up in the mountains.
**[15:12] Imaizumi**
It's a 1,500-meter climb to the peak.
**[15:16] Imaizumi**
Can you do it, Onoda?
**[15:18] Sakamichi**
Yeah.
**[15:20] Yuto**
The Mountain King!
**[15:21] Ashikiba**
Onoda Sakamichi!
**[15:23] Sakamichi**
Because Naruko-kun left by himself
and worked so hard on his own,
**[15:29] Sakamichi**
we made it this far!
**[15:31] Sakamichi**
I'll pedal as hard as I can!
**[15:35] Yuto**
He caught up in an instant!
**[15:38] Yuto**
Who is this guy?
**[15:40] Yuto**
He's way faster than during our
race in the mountains earlier!
**[15:45] Midousuji**
Who's catching up?
**[15:48] Midousuji**
Is it you, Sakamichi?
**[15:58] Naruko**
Did you see that, Midousuji?
**[16:00] Naruko**
That was Naruko's Ultimate
Flashy Miracle High Five!
**[16:05] Naruko**
I just came up with the name.
**[16:09] Yuto**
The Mountain King is so fast!
**[16:11] Midousuji**
He's trying to catch up?
**[16:12] Midousuji**
With 1,400 meters remaining to the peak?
**[16:20] Midousuji**
Are you going to destroy my lead, Sakamichi?
**[16:28] Midousuji**
He's getting closer.
**[16:30] Midousuji**
The little engine that's
pulling me will overheat soon.
**[16:35] Midousuji**
Then I'll switch to my legs, the main engine.
**[16:40] Midousuji**
How long will he last?
**[16:42] Midousuji**
I have to make him last until the
very last second by tricking him.
**[16:46] Midousuji**
Mizuta-kun, there are lots
of people at the peak.
**[16:51] Mizuta**
Huh?
**[16:52] Midousuji**
They're here to see you ride.
**[16:54] Midousuji**
To see you become King of the Mountain.
**[16:58] Midousuji**
So you should go faster.
**[17:03] Midousuji**
Push your limits.
**[17:04] Mizuta**
King of the Mountain!
**[17:05] Fan B**
Go!
**[17:06] Fan C**
You can do it!
**[17:07] Fan D**
Look! Kyoto Fushimi's first!
**[17:09] Fan E**
It's third-year Mizuta!
**[17:11] Mizuta**
What? Someone said my name!
**[17:13] Mizuta**
I'm excited! I'm so excited!
**[17:19] Ashikiba**
We're falling behind, Yuto!
**[17:21] Ashikiba**
We'll use the group in front of us.
**[17:22] Ashikiba**
Get behind Sohoku.
**[17:24] Ashikiba**
We'll stick behind them and
catch up to the front together.
**[17:27] Ashikiba**
Hurry!
**[17:29] Yuto**
Mountain King...
**[17:30] Yuto**
He's definitely riding faster than he was
during our first race in the mountains.
**[17:36] Yuto**
Was he holding back? Is this the
true strength of the Mountain King?
**[17:41] Yuto**
Do guys like him exist?
**[17:43] Yuto**
Guys who ride faster when they're asked to
**[17:45] Yuto**
than when they're racing for their own pride?
**[17:50] Ashikiba**
Yuto!
**[17:51] Yuto**
Y-Yes, sir. Sorry, Ashikiba-san.
**[17:56] Yuto**
I entered the Inter-High so I could
race against the Mountain King.
**[18:01] Yuto**
I thought I could beat him. I thought I did.
**[18:04] Yuto**
I have to beat him,
**[18:08] Yuto**
because I'm Shinkai Yuto.
**[18:11] Yuto**
Because I'm not Shinkai Hayato.
**[18:14] Ashikiba**
If you don't stop thinking,
we'll get left behind, Yuto!
**[18:18] Ashikiba**
We're still on the climb.
**[18:19] Ashikiba**
But...
**[18:21] Ashikiba**
the finish line is just ahead!
**[18:23] Yuto**
The finish line...
**[18:25] Yuto**
That's right. Shoot.
**[18:27] Yuto**
We're almost at the finish line.
**[18:28] Yuto**
Sorry!
**[18:30] Fan F**
One more kilometer to the peak!
**[18:32] Fan G**
Who's going to become King of the Mountain?
**[18:34] Fan G**
There's no telling anymore!
**[18:36] Fan H**
Isn't this the race for the finish line?
**[18:38] Fan I**
#1 is pulling the three guys behind him!
**[18:42] Fan J**
Amazing!
**[18:43] Fan K**
Tag #1...
**[18:45] Fan K**
He's the one who raced up Mt. Fuji first to
lead Chiba's Sohoku to victory last year!
**[18:52] Fan K**
That's Onoda Sakamichi!
**[18:55] Sakamichi**
It's hard, but I'll catch up to the front
**[18:57] Sakamichi**
with our ace Imaizumi-kun in tow.
**[19:01] Sakamichi**
As a climber, that's my job.
**[19:06] Sakamichi**
Are you watching, Makishima-san?
**[19:10] Sakamichi**
Kinjou-san said you were in Japan.
**[19:13] Sakamichi**
If you're watching somewhere—
**[19:16] Sakamichi**
No, if you read in the news later
that we worked really hard,
**[19:24] Sakamichi**
just that would make me happy.
**[19:28] Fan N**
He's almost caught up!
**[19:30] Fan O**
Damn, Sohoku's amazing!
**[19:32] Fan P**
Kyoto Fushimi, don't be beaten!
**[19:33] Fan Q**
Hakone Academy!
**[19:37] Makishima**
I left the others at the finish line
**[19:40] Makishima**
to come to the mountains alone,
and here you are.
**[19:43] Makishima**
Why do you always work so
hard that I feel embarrassed?
**[19:52] Makishima**
You're physically small,
but you're *huge*, Onoda.
**[19:57] Makishima**
Keep it up, Sakamichi.
**[20:01] Makishima**
Stay on your path.
**[20:04] Sakamichi**
It was hard. It took some time.
**[20:09] Imaizumi**
He really is amazing.

Sohoku and Hakone Academy

**[20:23] Fan S**
Amazing! Damn!
**[20:34] Sakamichi**
We caught up.
**[20:40] Imaizumi**
Thanks, Sakamichi.

Look! Sohoku's rotating Onoda back
and sending someone else ahead!

It's tag #2, their ace, Imaizumi!
**[20:55] Fan V**
He's neck and neck with Kyoto Fushimi's ace!
**[20:59] Imaizumi**
Come on, Midousuji.
Attack whenever you're ready.
**[21:02] Imaizumi**
I'll stop all your attempts.
**[21:06] Midousuji**
What? What?
**[21:08] Midousuji**
What is this?
**[21:10] Midousuji**
What is this pressure?
**[21:12] Midousuji**
He's just Crackizumi!
**[21:17] Midousuji**
O-Over here, too.
**[21:19] Midousuji**
Shinkai's little brother!
**[21:21] Yuto**
We're ready, too.
**[21:23] Yuto**
We'll stop you.
**[21:25] Midousuji**
And behind him is

Mountain King, do you have feminine desires?

Does it make your heart pound?

Shinkai-kun, do you like anime?
**[23:35] Yuto**
He's so close!

**[00:02] Fan**
They caught up to Kyoto Fushimi with
500 meters to the mountain line!
**[00:05] Fan**
Since Sohoku and Hakone Academy
are keeping their eyes on them,
**[00:08] Fan**
they'll be crushed immediately
if they try to get ahead.
**[00:10] Fan**
And since Onoda can't participate
in the finish line sprint,
**[00:13] Fan**
Sohoku effectively has one member.
**[00:14] Fan**
Hakone Academy's the only team with
two cards left for the finish line.
**[00:18] Fan**
Hakone Academy has an overwhelming advantage!

**[02:07] Midousuji**
Shut up, Mizuta-kun.
**[02:10] Midousuji**
No one cares about your stupid dream.
**[02:14] Mizuta**
Huh?
**[02:14] Midousuji**
No one cares about the insignificant
King of the Mountain title.
**[02:19] Mizuta**
Insignificant?
**[02:19] Midousuji**
No one's fighting for that.
**[02:23] Mizuta**
What? Really?
**[02:28] Midousuji**
You can fall behind now.
**[02:30] Mizuta**
Huh? What's going on?
**[02:31] Midousuji**
Your job is finished.
**[02:35] Mizuta**
Hey!
**[02:36] Midousuji**
King of the Mountain?
**[02:37] Midousuji**
Overwhelming disadvantage?
**[02:39] Midousuji**
Over?
**[02:40] Midousuji**
Really?
**[02:42] Midousuji**
Is that really what's happening?
**[02:46] Midousuji**
They caught up,
**[02:48] Midousuji**
and Hakone Academy has an overwhelming
advantage just before the finish line?
**[02:55] Midousuji**
Am I really out of options?
**[02:59] Midousuji**
No. This situation...
**[03:03] Midousuji**
is just the opposite!
**[03:05] Midousuji**
We're simultaneously before the finish line
**[03:08] Midousuji**
and 400 meters away from the mountain line.
**[03:11] Midousuji**
Maybe...
**[03:13] Mizuta**
Huh? What?
**[03:16] Midousuji**
Who said you could fall behind?
**[03:17] Mizuta**
Huh? You did...
**[03:20] Midousuji**
You shouldn't give up on your dream.
**[03:24] Mizuta**
What? My dream?
**[03:25] Midousuji**
Go get the mountain line.
**[03:27] Mizuta**
Huh?
**[03:28] Midousuji**
Go, Zaku!
**[03:33] Fan**
Kyoto Fushimi sent #112!
**[03:35] Fan**
Is he going for the mountain line?
**[03:37] Mizuta**
Where did that come from?
**[03:38] Mizuta**
But it's true!
**[03:39] Mizuta**
He really did have the highest hopes for me!
**[03:43] Mizuta**
I'll take it,
**[03:45] Mizuta**
Midousuji-kun!
**[03:47] Imaizumi**
What is Midousuji doing?
**[03:49] Imaizumi**
He'll be caught immediately at that speed.
**[03:51] Imaizumi**
It's meaningless.
**[03:53] Imaizumi**
Or does his team really
want the mountain line?
**[03:58] Midousuji**
This is chum.
**[04:01] Midousuji**
Chum you spread to lure bait while
fishing for a really big fish.
**[04:09] Midousuji**
I told him no one's fighting for
the King of the Mountain title.
**[04:15] Midousuji**
But there are guys here putting on airs
who desperately want that title.
**[04:24] Midousuji**
They won't be able to ignore this.
**[04:30] Fan**
200 meters left!
**[04:31] Fan**
You can do it, Kyoto Fushimi!
**[04:31] Midousuji**
They won't allow themselves to be humiliated
by losing a special number tag.
**[04:38] Midousuji**
Take the bait.
**[04:39] Midousuji**
Take the bait.
**[04:41] Midousuji**
Take the bait!
**[04:46] Ashikiba**
After him, Yuto.
**[04:47] Ashikiba**
Don't let him take the red number tag.
**[04:49] Midousuji**
He took the bait!
**[04:52] Yuto**
Ashikiba-san?
**[04:54] Yuto**
We're coming up on the finish line.
**[04:56] Yuto**
We shouldn't be worrying
about colored number tags.
**[04:59] Ashikiba**
Just go and get it.
**[05:01] Yuto**
At this distance, it'll have
to be an all-out attack.
**[05:04] Yuto**
If I do that now,
**[05:06] Yuto**
I won't be able to assist you during the
finish line sprint that's coming up.
**[05:10] Yuto**
We made it to this point with an advantage.
**[05:13] Yuto**
We'd be losing one of
Hakone Academy's two cards.
**[05:16] Ashikiba**
Go, Yuto.
**[05:19] Yuto**
There's no need for us to
disadvantage ourselves.
**[05:21] Yuto**
Let Kyoto Fushimi have the red number tag.
**[05:26] Yuto**
What's gotten into you, Ashikiba-san?
**[05:28] Ashikiba**
I see.
**[05:30] Ashikiba**
You're still a first-year.
**[05:33] Ashikiba**
You don't understand.
**[05:35] Ashikiba**
We are Hakone Academy.
**[05:38] Ashikiba**
We fight with pride!
**[05:42] Yuto**
Wait!
**[05:44] Ashikiba**
I'll go!
**[05:45] Yuto**
Ashikiba-san!
**[05:46] Fan**
If Kyoto Fushimi's ace
makes a move, handle it!
**[05:49] Sakamichi**
Third-year Ashikiba-san is...
**[05:51] Midousuji**
Just as planned!
**[05:54] Fan**
He's fast!
**[05:55] Fan**
He caught up in an instant!
**[05:57] Midousuji**
Hakone Academy has won all
the number tags so far.
**[06:01] Midousuji**
They have their pride as champions.
**[06:04] Midousuji**
Naturally, they want the
mountain title as well.
**[06:08] Midousuji**
And they'll end up losing something important
**[06:10] Midousuji**
because they're so concerned
with something so insignificant.
**[06:14] Midousuji**
As far as I'm concerned,
**[06:16] Midousuji**
colored number tags are useless scraps
of paper before the finish line.
**[06:21] Midousuji**
He actually took the bait.
**[06:24] Midousuji**
I thought they'd send
their assist Shinkai-kun,
**[06:30] Midousuji**
but it's their ace who impatiently left.
**[06:34] Midousuji**
My last-minute plan might result in
Hakone Academy losing one of its cards.
**[06:40] Midousuji**
I don't know what happened,
but it's exactly what I wanted!
**[06:47] Midousuji**
No, more!
**[06:51] Announce**
Hakone Academy's Ashikiba is the
second day's King of the Mountain!
**[06:55] Announce**
He caught up in an instant
with his all-out climb!
**[06:57] Fan**
Hakone Academy is amazing!
**[06:59] Hakogaku**
You did it, Ashikiba-san!
**[07:00] Hakogaku**
We're the best!
**[07:02] Hakogaku**
First the sprint, now the mountains!
**[07:04] Hakogaku**
Now take the finish line!
**[07:07] Ashikiba**
An all-out climb...
**[07:10] Ashikiba**
Now I'm useless.
**[07:13] Ashikiba**
Isn't that right, Yuto?
**[07:16] Announce**
The other riders are raising their pace
**[07:17] Announce**
and crossing the mountain line
one after another.
**[07:20] Announce**
Just past the gate is the finish line!
**[07:23] Mizuta**
Damn that lanky Hakone Academy guy!
**[07:27] Mizuta**
He took my mountain line!
**[07:29] Mizuta**
Midousuji-kun, I rode as
hard as I could, but he—
**[07:34] Mizuta**
Huh? Hey, wait...
**[07:40] Midousuji**
Congratulations, King of the Mountain.
**[07:43] Midousuji**
We didn't stand a chance
against your all-out attack.
**[07:49] Midousuji**
It was amazing.
**[07:51] Midousuji**
We wanted the title so badly,
we even sent our captain.
**[07:57] Midousuji**
I can't believe you took it from us.
**[08:01] Midousuji**
Should you have done that as the ace?
**[08:04] Midousuji**
Should you have used up your legs?
**[08:07] Midousuji**
The finish line is at the bottom of the hill.
**[08:12] Imaizumi**
He sent Mizuta to use up
one of Hakone Academy's cards.
**[08:19] Imaizumi**
Hakone Academy had the advantage,
**[08:21] Imaizumi**
but now they're disadvantaged.
**[08:24] Sakamichi**
Imaizumi-kun...
**[08:26] Sakamichi**
Why didn't Ashikiba-san stay ahead?
**[08:30] Sakamichi**
He let us catch up so easily.
**[08:31] Imaizumi**
We don't have far to go,
**[08:33] Imaizumi**
but he determined we'd catch him with
our numbers even if he stayed ahead.
**[08:36] Imaizumi**
If it's unlikely he'll stay ahead, it's smarter
to rejoin the group, rest his legs,
**[08:43] Imaizumi**
and stay behind his assistant.
**[08:45] Midousuji**
You must've thought you could
take it easily, Hakone Academy.
**[08:50] Midousuji**
You thought you'd pretend you
didn't want the mountain line,
**[08:54] Midousuji**
approach the line with the pack,
**[08:57] Midousuji**
and send someone at the last second
to take the number tag easily.

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

**[00:02] Yuto**
* The second half of this*
* route is a winding downhill.*
**[00:06] Yuto**
*He's an airhead motivated by rage.*
**[00:10] Yuto**
*That's the easiest type of person to beat.*
**[00:13] Yuto**
*I'll let him stay ahead for now.*
**[00:14] Yuto**
* His legs will become exhausted in the*
* second half, and he'll lose speed.*
**[00:17] Yuto**
*But I'll strike one blow first!*
**[00:23] (Flashback) Yuto**
Are you familiar with my nickname?
**[00:25] (Flashback) Yuto**
They call me the Peak Hornet.
**[00:28] (Flashback) Yuto**
Am I too fast? Too close?
**[00:31] (Flashback) Yuto**
Is your answer "yes"?
**[00:35] (Flashback) Yuto**
You're not on the road.
**[00:39] Yuto**
*This guy will be easy.*
**[00:41] Yuto**
*His eyes are full of rage.*
**[00:44] Yuto**
* If his rage disrupts his pace like I expect,*
* he'll lose speed in the second half!*
**[00:48] Yuto**
*He moved up! He really is an airhead!*
**[00:50] (Flashback) Yuto**
What should the loser's punishment be?
**[00:55] (Flashback) Yuto**
It's not fun without one.
**[00:58] (Flashback) Yuto**
If I win, will you be my
assistant in the next race?
**[01:03] (Flashback) Yuto**
Since you're so big, I bet
you block a lot of wind.
**[01:06] (Flashback) Yuto**
What do you want, Ashikiba-san?
**[01:08] (Flashback) Yuto**
Would you like me to apologize to
third-years Kaneko-san and
**[01:12] (Flashback) Yuto**
Shimozaki-san and ask them for advice?
**[01:15] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
That's what you should
be doing as a first-year.
**[01:20] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
If you lose, go find the trash you threw
on the ground before we started...
**[01:27] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
and pick it up.

**[03:03] Yuto**
Trash? Talk about anal retentive.
**[03:06] Yuto**
Is this about keeping the planet beautiful?
**[03:08] (Flashback) Yuto**
You must be joking.
**[03:10] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
Mountains, rivers, valleys, and coastlines...
**[03:14] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
We use the terrain created by
nature to ride our bicycles.
**[03:18] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
We're indebted to nature.
We should respect it.
**[03:23] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
It's not something you should
so selfishly pollute.
**[03:27] Yuto**
*What's with this guy?*
**[03:29] Yuto**
*He's annoying me.*
**[03:31] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
No one wants to criticize
you because of Shinkai-san.
**[03:37] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
Isn't that what you want
to shake off the most?
**[03:41] Yuto**
*He thinks he can say whatever he wants.*
**[03:44] Yuto**
*Does he think he's right?*
**[03:47] Yuto**
*I have...*
**[03:50] Yuto**
*my own troubles!*
**[03:56] Yuto**
*No matter.*
**[03:57] Yuto**
*An airhead like him would never understand.*
**[04:00] Yuto**
*I'm changing my plan.*
**[04:02] Yuto**
*I'll pass him and pull ahead of him!*
**[04:09] Yuto**
*What's going on?*
**[04:10] Yuto**
*He blocked my route as I was about to go.*
**[04:12] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
I told you, first-year Shinkai Yuto...
**[04:16] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
that I'd crush you.
**[04:19] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
I'm not letting you get ahead of me!
**[04:26] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
You're riding on the gutter.
**[04:27] Yuto**
*Damn it! He's making fun of me!*
**[04:30] Yuto**
* Then I'll do whatever it*
* takes to get in front of him!*
**[04:36] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
Kaneko...
**[04:37] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
Kaneyan hurt his knees after riding with you.
**[04:43] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
He and Yuki-chan have been climbing
buddies since they were first-years.
**[04:46] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
They used to talk about the
Inter-High together all the time.
**[04:49] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
But Kaneyan's knees probably
won't heal in time for the Inter-High.
**[04:53] (Flashback) Yuto**
What? Who cares?
**[04:56] (Flashback) Yuto**
That's totally unrelated.
**[04:58] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
Kenyan practices hard.
**[05:00] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
He never makes excuses.
**[05:04] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
Shimo knows that, so he never rides
ahead of Kaneyan on mountains.
**[05:09] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
You beat them.
**[05:12] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
But is there really...
**[05:15] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
nothing you can learn from Kaneda?!
**[05:19] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
You just had "nobody understands my pain"
written all over your face.
**[05:25] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
How could they? Of course they don't.
**[05:29] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
Because you don't even
try to understand theirs.
**[05:32] Yuto**
*What? What does that mean?*
**[05:35] Yuto**
* Are you saying someone as physically*
* blessed as you has problems?*
**[05:39] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
You don't work hard and lack respect.
**[05:43] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
If you fought against the old Kaneyan...
**[05:47] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
You'd lose!
**[05:50] Yuto**
*He's gone!*
**[05:52] Yuto**
*Am I going to lose to him?*
**[05:55] Yuto**
* It's just a stupid mental battle!*
* A mental battle!*
**[05:57] Yuto**
*I can't lose now!*
**[06:00] Yuto**
*Go!*
**[06:02] Yuto**
*Was he not motivated by rage?*
**[06:10] Yuto**
* So he was calmly observing my*
* movements and controlling me.*
**[06:15] Yuto**
*Damn.*
**[06:16] Yuto**
* I couldn't even see his*
* back on the final bend.*
**[06:20] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
Get up. Go pick up your trash.
**[06:23] (Flashback) Yuto**
Yes, sir.
**[06:26] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
I'll go with you.
**[06:28] (Flashback) Yuto**
Huh?
**[06:29] (Flashback) Yuto**
You don't have to.
**[06:32] (Flashback) Yuto**
You'd have to climb to the
peak again to get back there.
**[06:34] (Flashback) Yuto**
It's my penalty.
**[06:36] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
Oh, that's right.
**[06:38] Yuto**
*He's not putting up a fight?*
**[06:41] Yuto**
*Maybe he really is an airhead.*
**[06:44] Yuto**
* I hate to admit it, but it's true that*
* he's stronger and smarter than me.*
**[06:49] Yuto**
* When he accelerated in front of me,*
* the pressure I felt was no laughing matter.*
***SIGN*** Hakone Academy Bicycle Racing Club
**[06:57] Yuto**
* Kaneko-senpai told me*
* about Ashikiba-san later.*
**[07:01] Yuto**
*About his concerns about his height.*
**[07:03] Yuto**
*About being the laundry boy.*
**[07:05] Yuto**
* How he was suspended*
* indefinitely from racing.*
**[07:08] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
No, Yuto!
**[07:10] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
That timing will allow our
enemies to get ahead of us!
**[07:12] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
Be patient! Watch their movements!
**[07:14] (Flashback) Yuto**
Yes, sir!
**[07:16] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
You cut your bangs two centimeters.
**[07:18] (Flashback) Yuto**
You could tell?
**[07:20] (Flashback) All**
He can tell?
**[07:22] (Flashback) Hakogaku**
Did you hear about Yuto?
**[07:24] (Flashback) Hakogaku**
He apologized to Haraguchi
for breaking his phone.
**[07:28] (Flashback) Kuroda**
I can tell from watching him at practice.
**[07:31] (Flashback) Kuroda**
He's fierce, but he's changed.
**[07:35] Yuto**
* Until then, I thought of everyone*
* I rode with as an opponent.*
**[07:39] Yuto**
*I came to enjoy riding with Ashikiba-san.*
**[07:51] Fan**
Hakone Academy's ace is losing speed!
**[07:53] Fan**
But it's a critical moment!
**[07:55] Fan**
Didn't he just win the mountain line?
**[07:58] Fan**
That's why his legs are exhausted!
**[08:00] Fan**
#16 is dropping back to help him!
**[08:02] Fan**
They're falling behind the two in front!
**[08:05] Fan**
They're only thirty meters behind,
but at the finish line of a road race,
**[08:09] Fan**
that's an overwhelming distance!
**[08:11] Fan**
There's just one kilometer
left to the finish line!

**[08:14] Imaizumi**
He lost speed?
**[08:16] Imaizumi**
Did Ashikiba-san lose focus for a moment?
**[08:19] Imaizumi**
No, it' because of his all-out attack
for the mountain line.
**[08:22] Imaizumi**
After fighting so hard, his legs
couldn't last until the finish line.
**[08:29] Midousuji**
Too bad, Hakone Academy.
**[08:32] Midousuji**
The mountain line or the finish line...
**[08:34] Midousuji**
It's obvious which is more valuable
when you weigh them against each other.
**[08:40] Midousuji**
You made a mistake.
**[08:43] Midousuji**
The two of you can fight for third.
**[08:49] Yuto**
Ashikiba-san!
**[08:51] Ashikiba**
I'm starting to feel it in my legs.
**[08:52] Ashikiba**
I couldn't keep up with the increase in pace.
**[08:55] Yuto**
What is this? Why?
**[08:58] Yuto**
You tried to show off by
saying you hadn't given up.
**[09:02] Yuto**
But you're exhausted.
**[09:06] Yuto**
If only I'd...
**[09:11] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
After him, Yuto.
**[09:13] Yuto**
...gone like you told me to.
**[09:16] Yuto**
If only I'd trusted you.
**[09:18] (Flashback) Yuto**
We're coming up on the finish line.
**[09:20] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
Just go and get it.
**[09:23] Yuto**
I'm sorry.
**[09:25] Ashikiba**
Yuto, we can't change the past.
**[09:30] Ashikiba**
So...
**[09:35] Ashikiba**
So I feinted.
**[09:37] Yuto**
Feinted?
**[09:38] Ashikiba**
After taking the mountain line,
**[09:40] Ashikiba**
I put on an act that Sohoku and
Kyoto Fushimi wouldn't notice.
**[09:44] Ashikiba**
I deliberately slowed down, fell behind
my assistant, and made him pull.
**[09:50] Ashikiba**
I made them think I was the ace
taking today's finish line.
**[09:56] Ashikiba**
I made them think Hakone Academy
was finished, so they'd let down their guard.
**[10:02] Ashikiba**
When I decided to attack in the mountains,
I knew I'd be exhausting my legs.
**[10:08] Ashikiba**
I knew I had to plan for what was next.
**[10:12] Ashikiba**
I knew immediately who else
could go for the finish line.
**[10:18] Ashikiba**
I was a little worried.
**[10:20] Ashikiba**
After all, he's a climber.
**[10:23] Ashikiba**
But my concerns were immediately swept away
**[10:25] Ashikiba**
because his brother was a great sprinter.
**[10:30] Yuto**
You want me to take the
second day's finish line?
**[10:32] Ashikiba**
I ended up tricking you, too.
**[10:36] Ashikiba**
Sorry.
**[10:39] Ashikiba**
Zip up your jersey.
**[10:41] Ashikiba**
I know you can do it!
**[10:44] (Flashback) Hakogaku**
Hey, Yuto.
**[10:45] (Flashback) Hakogaku**
Why don't you practice with us on the flats?
**[10:48] (Flashback) Hakogaku**
The upperclassmen want to see you sprint.
**[10:51] (Flashback) Yuto**
I'll pass. I'm not Hayato-kun.
**[10:54] (Flashback) Yuto**
I'm a climber.
**[10:57] Yuto**
I'm Yuto.
**[10:58] Yuto**
But Ashikiba-san's telling me to go.
**[11:03] Ashikiba**
Zip it up, Yuto.
**[11:05] Ashikiba**
There's not much time or distance left.
**[11:06] Ashikiba**
You'll take today's finish line.
**[11:09] Ashikiba**
Zip up your jersey, Shinkai Yuto!
**[11:15] Yuto**
Yes, sir!
**[11:17] Yuto**
Ashikiba-san!
**[11:18] Yuto**
This time, I'll go!
**[11:21] Fan**
What's going on?
**[11:22] Fan**
Their ace moved up!
**[11:23] Fan**
No way!
**[11:24] Fan**
They're having a first-year
race for the finish line?
**[11:27] Fan**
Isn't he a climber?
**[11:28] Fan**
No, there's an old saying!
**[11:30] Fan**
All six of Hakone Academy's
members are the ace!
**[11:34] Ashikiba**
I'll close this thirty-meter gap.
**[11:37] Ashikiba**
When I give the signal, you move up.
**[11:39] Ashikiba**
Until then, I'll block the wind for you!
**[11:42] Yuto**
Yes, sir!
**[11:43] Ashikiba**
Let's go, Yuto!
**[11:44] Yuto**
Yes, sir!
**[11:46] Fan**
Ashikiba is accelerating!
**[11:49] Yuto**
The finish line. I'm taking the finish line.
**[11:51] Yuto**
The finish line sprint!
**[11:56] Yuto**
What? What is this?
**[11:59] Yuto**
Nervousness? No...
**[12:02] Yuto**
What is this? What on earth is this?
**[12:05] Yuto**
What's making my cells buzz with excitement?
**[12:08] Fan**
Hakone Academy's catching up
at the very last second!
**[12:12] Fan**
Hakone Academy's sending #16 as their
ace to the second day's finish line!
**[12:18] Imaizumi**
What? They're catching up?
**[12:20] Imaizumi**
I thought Hakone Academy had fallen,
but they've switched out their ace!
**[12:24] Imaizumi**
Their final ace is #16!
**[12:27] Midousuji**
No way. #16?
**[12:29] Midousuji**
Did they just come up with that?
**[12:33] Midousuji**
No, that's not what the
big guy's eyes are saying.
**[12:37] Midousuji**
He planned this.
**[12:40] Midousuji**
Ashikiba-kun's been fooling us since then.
**[12:47] Ashikiba**
Are you ready, Yuto?
**[12:49] Ashikiba**
Go, Yuto!
**[12:53] Ashikiba**
Yuto—
**[12:54] Yuto**
It's okay.
**[12:56] Yuto**
Sorry, Ashikiba-san.
**[12:58] Yuto**
I'm not sure why...
**[13:01] Yuto**
but all the cells in my body
are buzzing with excitement.
**[13:03] Yuto**
I can't calm down.
**[13:06] Yuto**
I know! I'll go right away!
**[13:13] Fan**
Go!
**[13:14] Fan**
Hakone Academy's attacking!
**[13:16] Fan**
He's so fast!
**[13:17] Yuto**
Damn! Damn!
**[13:19] Yuto**
This feeling is insane.
**[13:23] Yuto**
Every time my speed increases,
my cells start screaming.
**[13:27] Yuto**
This is ecstasy!
**[13:29] Yuto**
Thanks for waiting,
Midousuji-san and Imaizumi-san!
**[13:35] Fan**
With 600 meters remaining,
Hakone Academy caught up!
**[13:39] Fan**
It's a three-way race again!
**[13:43] Midousuji**
#16, Shinkai Yuto...
**[13:45] Midousuji**
You're in a good mood.
**[13:48] Midousuji**
To think they'd send a first-year
climber in place of their useless ace.
**[13:54] Midousuji**
Now this is a surprise.
**[13:57] Imaizumi**
He caught up.
**[13:58] Imaizumi**
What can a climber do in a
race for the finish line?
**[14:04] Ashikiba**
I'm glad he caught up.
**[14:06] Ashikiba**
If I'd pulled for Yuto on the
downhill instead of pretending,
**[14:10] Ashikiba**
they would've realized he
was the ace and crushed us.
**[14:15] Ashikiba**
I'm brilliant.
**[14:17] Ashikiba**
But that face he made when he left...
**[14:19] Ashikiba**
I've never seen Yuto so happy.
**[14:24] Fan**
The ninety-degree turn that's 500 meters
before the finish line is just ahead!
**[14:30] Fan**
All three are braking hard
out of intense acceleration!
**[14:33] Fan**
It's a braking contest!
**[14:34] Fan**
They're still neck-and-neck!
**[14:36] Fan**
After the corner, it's a straight
line to the finish line!
**[14:38] Fan**
All three of them want to pull ahead here!
**[14:41] Fan**
Who will make it through first?
**[14:45] Fan**
No one's giving any ground!
**[14:47] Fan**
A super close-quarters battle!
**[14:48] Fan**
You can hear them clashing!
**[14:52] Midousuji**
Gross!
**[14:54] Fan**
They pulled out of the corner
in the same formation!
**[14:57] Imaizumi**
#16 kept up with our high-risk cornering.
**[15:02] Imaizumi**
It seems he's no ordinary climber.
**[15:05] Imaizumi**
Hakone Academy can't be underestimated.
**[15:08] Midousuji**
So #16 has steeled his resolve.
**[15:13] Midousuji**
He was smiling during the entire corner.
**[15:17] Midousuji**
And I thought Hakone Academy
was out of the race.
**[15:20] Midousuji**
Shinkai's brother.* That *Shinkai's brother...
**[15:25] Midousuji**
Fine. I'll make them taste despair again.
**[15:31] Midousuji**
This time...
**[15:33] Midousuji**
This time, at the finish line!
**[15:36] Yuto**
Ashikiba-san, I'm going to win.
**[15:39] Yuto**
My answer is...
**[15:41] Yuto**
Yes!
**[15:43] Midousuji**
400 meters!
**[15:44] Imaizumi**
Remaining!
**[15:45] Yuto**
To the finish line!

**[15:51] Yuto**
All that's left...
**[15:56] Yuto**
is this 400-meter straightaway!
**[15:59] Fan**
#16, Shinkai Yuto, is attacking!
**[16:02] Imaizumi**
What was that?
**[16:03] Imaizumi**
He dropped behind Midousuji for a
second and accelerated around him.
**[16:07] Imaizumi**
Did he use Midousuji to
block the wind for a moment?
**[16:10] Imaizumi**
I can't predict what he'll do.
**[16:12] Imaizumi**
His movements are too tricky.
**[16:14] Imaizumi**
And he's always one step ahead.
**[16:17] Imaizumi**
Is he going for the finish line...
**[16:20] Midousuji**
...from 400 meters?
**[16:22] Imaizumi**
You're not getting away!
**[16:28] Yuto**
Wow, I'm impressed.
**[16:30] Imaizumi**
Where are you going, #16?
**[16:33] Imaizumi**
That was some nice acceleration,
**[16:35] Imaizumi**
but it's a bit early to be
racing for the finish line.
**[16:38] Imaizumi**
Are you in a hurry?
**[16:46] Yuto**
It was a feint.
**[16:48] Midousuji**
A feint?
**[16:49] Midousuji**
He did that on purpose, to see how we'd react?
**[16:54] Midousuji**
When he attacked, I thought he was making
a desperate attempt for the finish line.
**[17:00] Midousuji**
He really is
**[17:02] Midousuji**
Shinkai Hayato's younger brother.
**[17:05] Midousuji**
I'll need to raise my threat level to six.
**[17:09] Yuto**
Was 400 too early, Imaizumi-san?
**[17:12] Yuto**
Then...
**[17:13] Yuto**
How about 300?
**[17:19] Imaizuimi**
He's attacking!
**[17:20] Imaizumi**
Is he starting the second round now?
**[17:25] Imaizumi**
What's with this guy?
**[17:26] Imaizumi**
The usual rules of the finish line
sprint don't apply to him.
**[17:31] Imaizumi**
We caught you.
**[17:32] Imaizumi**
What's the rush?
**[17:33] Yuto**
I thought I had it that time.
**[17:36] Yuto**
You really are fast.
**[17:39] Midousuji**
First it was a feint made
to look like a sprint.
**[17:42] Midousuji**
Then it was a sprint made
to look like a feint.
**[17:45] Midousuji**
Shinkai Yuto!
**[17:48] Yuto**
What is it, Midousuji-san?
**[17:54] Midousuji**
You're contemptuous!
**[17:56] Yuto**
You're a bit close.
**[17:56] Midousuji**
You're two-faced!
**[17:58] Yuto**
Getting close to people is my specialty.
**[18:01] Midousuji**
And you're gross!
**[18:06] Yuto**
What's that? A compliment?
**[18:09] Midousuji**
Looks like I'll have to raise
my threat level to ten.
**[18:14] Midousuji**
He won't even look away after all of that.
**[18:18] Midousuji**
He fully intends to fight.
**[18:23] Midousuji**
I wasn't expecting to find it here.
**[18:26] Midousuji**
I thought it disappeared last year.
**[18:30] Midousuji**
The ghost of Shinkai-kun!
**[18:33] Yuto**
No, I'm alive.
**[18:37] Yuto**
I've got legs.
**[18:39] Yuto**
It is time for round three?
**[18:43] Fan**
There's 250 meters left!
**[18:45] Fan**
Kyoto Fushimi and Hakone Academy
are getting ready to sprint!
**[18:50] Fan**
No, Sohoku attacked a moment earlier!
**[18:53] Fan**
Imaizumi is entering the
finish line sprint in the lead!
**[18:56] Imaizumi**
Now.
**[18:57] Imaizumi**
My body reacted before I could think.
**[19:00] Imaizumi**
I'll keep going like this!
**[19:02] Imaizumi**
I'll stay ahead of them and win!
**[19:05] Imaizumi**
Now! Go, Imaizumi Shunsuke!
**[19:11] Yuto**
Seriously?
**[19:12] Yuto**
He was a second faster!
**[19:13] Yuto**
He just barely got ahead!
**[19:16] Midousuji**
But he's Weakizumi! But he's Crackizumi!
**[19:19] Midousuji**
But he's Chirpizumi! But he's...
**[19:23] Midousuji**
No, no. That doesn't matter now.
**[19:26] Midousuji**
There are pests in front of me!
**[19:30] Midousuji**
I'll knock them aside!
**[19:32] Midousuji**
That's all that matters!
**[19:34] Imaizumi**
I'll win!
**[19:37] Imaizumi**
I've fought for the finish line
in countless races until now.
**[19:41] Imaizumi**
But I've only ever won when my body
reacted instinctively, like it did now.
**[19:47] Imaizumi**
I'll shake off Midousuji and Shinkai.
**[19:49] Imaizumi**
I'll ride in the front!

Last year, I had seniors.
I was unconstrained.
**[20:17] (Flashback) Imaizumi**
But this year...
**[20:19] (Flashback) Imaizumi**
It feels like I've had a limiter
installed here the whole time.
**[20:24] Miki**
His limiter...
**[20:26] Fan**
They're catching up!
**[20:28] Imaizumi**
Fall off! Off, off!
**[20:36] Imaizumi**
A limiter? Don't be ridiculous,
Imaizumi Shunsuke.
**[20:41] Imaizumi**
This is nothing.
**[20:42] Imaizumi**
Compared to what they did, this is nothing!
**[20:46] Imaizumi**
If it won't come off, then I'll force it off.
**[20:49] Imaizumi**
The whole team carried this jersey this
far by pushing themselves to their limits!
**[20:58] Imaizumi**
Fall off, limiter!

Sohoku's accelerating!

Charge straight ahead, Imaizumi Shunsuke!

Why is he so intense?
**[21:20] Aya**
Has he always been that passionate?
**[21:23] Sugimoto**
Imaizumi's always full of passion.
**[21:25] Sugimoto**
He's the most dependable guy on the team.
**[21:28] Sugimoto**
And the strongest.

Win, Imaizumi!

**[00:36] Midousuji**
Stupid.
**[00:39] Midousuji**
Morph!
**[00:41] Midousuji**
There's no such thing...
**[00:42] Midousuji**
Morph!
**[00:44] Midousuji**
...as certain!
**[00:48] Midousuji**
Morph!
**[00:50] Midousuji**
The truth can only be known by those
who give their all, eliminate excess,
**[00:55] Midousuji**
crystallize their victory, and move
forward on their own two legs!
**[01:01] Yuto**
Midousuji's Flying Ride!
**[01:03] Yuto**
Ashikiba-san mentioned this.
**[01:06] Yuto**
No...
**[01:07] Yuto**
He's stretching his neck out even farther?
**[01:10] Yuto**
Is this an evolved version?
**[01:13] Midousuji**
Morphokyaaa!
**[01:20] Midousuji**
Phokya!
***SIGN*** Yowamushi Pedal
**[02:54] Midousuji**
Phokya!
***SIGN*** LINE.22 Three Powerhouses
**[02:56] Midousuji**
Pests! Pests in front of me!
**[02:58] Midousuji**
Pests are always prey!
**[03:02] Midousuji**
I will prey upon them!
**[03:08] Yuto**
What is that?
**[03:10] Yuto**
What is that lump of muscle on his back?
**[03:13] Yuto**
It's growing.
**[03:16] Yuto**
It must be an evolution of the Flying Ride!
**[03:19] Yuto**
Yeah!
**[03:20] Yuto**
This can't be good!
**[03:22] Fan**
Kyoto Fushimi's closing! Wow!
**[03:25] Fan**
Gross!
**[03:26] Fan**
He's shaking his butt.
**[03:28] Fan**
What does "phokya" mean?
**[03:30] Midousuji**
Overthrow, overthrow, overthrow, overthrow!
**[03:33] Midousuji**
Overthrow!
**[03:34] Midousuji**
Expectations, imagination, hopes,
cheers, assumptions, common sense...
**[03:40] Midousuji**
I'll overthrow them all...
**[03:43] Midousuji**
By winning this race!
**[03:46] Midousuji**
I am...
**[03:48] Midousuji**
The man who always wins!
**[03:50] Midousuji**
Midousuji Akira-kun!
**[03:55] Fan**
There's 100 meters left!
**[03:57] Midousuji**
That's plenty of distance to catch up!
**[04:01] Midousuji**
Oh, right.
**[04:02] Midousuji**
In that past I said that and squeezed
**[04:08] Midousuji**
my crystallized victory
too tightly, making me drop it.
**[04:13] Midousuji**
I'll be fine this year.
**[04:15] Midousuji**
I'll hold my victory with both hands,
**[04:20] Midousuji**
so it can't escape.
**[04:31] (Flashback) Aunt**
Akira-kun, watch your step over there.
**[04:35] (Flashback) Yuki**
There are so many, Mom.
**[04:37] (Flashback) Aunt**
You're right.
**[04:39] (Flashback) Aunt**
It's dark out. Watch your step.
**[04:42] (Flashback) Yuki**
The fireflies are beautiful.
**[04:44] Midousuji**
*They're so beautiful.*
**[04:47] Midousuji**
* I'm sure Mom would love it*
* if I brought her some.*
**[05:01] (Flashback) Aunt**
Are you trying to catch them, Akira-kun?
**[05:04] (Flashback) Yuki**
You can do it, Akira!
**[05:10] (Flashback) Aunt**
You're so clumsy, Akira-kun.
**[05:13] (Flashback) Yuki**
Are you okay?
**[05:17] (Flashback) Midousuji**
I caught one.
**[05:19] (Flashback) Yuki**
It's glowing!
**[05:21] (Flashback) Yuki**
Let me see!
**[05:23] (Flashback) Midousuji**
No!
**[05:25] (Flashback) Midousuji**
I'm taking this to my mom at the hospital.
**[05:31] (Flashback) Midousuji**
I know she'll like it.
**[05:33] (Flashback) Midousuji**
I caught it. I won't let it get away.
**[05:36] (Flashback) Aunt**
But fireflies don't live long.
**[05:39] (Flashback) Aunt**
Not long enough to take to the hospital.
**[05:42] (Flashback) Aunt**
Let it go.
**[05:43] (Flashback) Midousuji**
No.
**[05:45] (Flashback) Aunt**
Akira-kun, if you squeeze that tight...
**[05:59] (Flashback) Midousuji**
There were so many.
**[06:00] (Flashback) Midousuji**
They were all around the river.
**[06:02] (Flashback) Midousuji**
They'd light up like "fwoom" and go out.
**[06:06] (Flashback) Midousuji**
I caught one so I could show you.
**[06:10] (Flashback) Midousuji**
Like this.
**[06:11] (Flashback) Midousuji**
But, uh...
**[06:17] (Flashback) Midousuji**
I held it too tight...
**[06:20] (Flashback) Midousuji**
and crushed it.
**[06:30] (Flashback) Mom**
Akira, you're so good at explaining things.
**[06:37] (Flashback) Mom**
You're so good. I feel like I was there.
**[06:44] (Flashback) Mom**
You even include gestures and sounds.
**[06:48] (Flashback) Mom**
It's too bad about the firefly,
but I felt like I could see it.
**[06:53] (Flashback) Mom**
Thanks to you, I got to see the fireflies.
**[06:57] Midousuji**
*Thanks to me...*
**[07:00] (Flashback) Midousuji**
No, real fireflies are prettier.
**[07:04] (Flashback) Midousuji**
I'll take you there.
**[07:06] (Flashback) Midousuji**
I'll bring a flashlight and show you the way.
**[07:09] (Flashback) Midousuji**
It's dangerous, so I'll lead you by the hand.
**[07:11] (Flashback) Midousuji**
Since firefly season's over
this year, we'll go next year.
**[07:19] (Flashback) Mom**
You're right.
**[07:20] (Flashback) Mom**
Thank you, Akira. I look forward to it.
**[07:26] Midousuji**
I remember that summer clearly.
**[07:30] Midousuji**
The smell of disinfectant.
**[07:33] Midousuji**
The slightly chilly building.
**[07:36] Midousuji**
The hospital was my oasis.
**[07:40] Midousuji**
Happy times and warm, fuzzy feelings.
**[07:44] Midousuji**
If I were to compare it
to a color, it would be...
**[07:48] Midousuji**
Yellow.
**[07:53] (Flashback) Mom**
There's a proper way to catch fireflies.
**[07:57] (Flashback) Mom**
It's like this...
**[08:05] (Flashback) Nurse**
Midousuji-san!
**[08:11] (Flashback) Mom**
I'm okay now. Thank you.
**[08:16] (Flashback) Nurse**
Akira-kun's been coming every day
since summer break started.
**[08:20] (Flashback) Nurse**
He bikes in from far away, right?
**[08:23] (Flashback) Nurse**
He said he's been practicing a lot.
**[08:26] (Flashback) Nurse**
You must be proud of him.
**[08:30] (Flashback) Mom**
He's always been a hard worker.
**[08:33] (Flashback) Mom**
He can be awkward, but he's honest.
**[08:39] (Flashback) Mom**
I wish I could've been with him.
**[08:46] (Flashback) Mom**
I think he's been pushing himself
too hard without me around.
**[08:51] (Flashback) Mom**
He's too proud to give up.
**[08:55] (Flashback) Mom**
He stopped bringing me notices
for class observation day.
**[09:02] (Flashback) Nurse**
Let's talk to the doctor about you
temporarily leaving the hospital.
**[09:06] (Flashback) Nurse**
We can ask Akira-kun for his schedule.
**[09:09] (Flashback) Mom**
You're right.
**[09:11] (Flashback) Mom**
I think he wants to show me
how hard he works.
**[09:17] (Flashback) Mom**
How he grits his teeth.
**[09:21] (Flashback) Mom**
Sometimes I imagine him entering
middle school, then high school.
**[09:29] (Flashback) Mom**
He'll ride that cool bike and keep
moving forward with all his strength.
**[09:36] (Flashback) Mom**
Charging straight ahead at incredible speeds.
**[09:41] (Flashback) Mom**
If I could see him pass everyone
else and take first...
**[09:46] (Flashback) Mom**
I probably wouldn't be able to stop crying.
**[09:54] (Flashback) Nurse**
You must be looking forward to it.
**[09:55] (Flashback) Nurse**
You'd better get well soon, so you can see it.
**[10:01] (Flashback) Mom**
You're right. I'll do my best.
**[10:05] (Flashback) Mom**
It's okay.
**[10:06] (Flashback) Mom**
Just imagining how Akira-kun will grow...
**[10:12] (Flashback) Mom**
gives me strength.
**[10:33] (Flashback) Nurse**
He's back. The boy from room 302.
**[10:37] (Flashback) Nurse**
Oh, her son?
**[10:39] (Flashback) Nurse**
But she's not here anymore.
**[10:46] Midousuji**
* I promised I'd show her*
* the fireflies next year.*
**[10:52] Midousuji**
*She said she'd come watch me race.*
**[10:55] Midousuji**
*Why isn't she at the window?*
**[10:58] Midousuji**
* I'm here, so why isn't*
* she coming to greet me?*
**[11:03] Midousuji**
*Is she not here today?*
**[11:07] Midousuji**
*Whatever...*
**[11:10] Midousuji**
* Why? Why don't I feel good, even though*
* I'm coming back from the hospital?*
**[11:16] Midousuji**
*Why don't I feel warm and fuzzy inside?*
**[11:20] Midousuji**
*I don't get it.*
**[11:23] Midousuji**
*But...*
**[11:25] (Flashback) Mom**
No matter what happens, keep moving forward.
**[11:28] (Flashback) Mom**
My little boy won.
**[11:33] Midousuji**
* I'll keep moving forward,*
* no matter what happens.*
**[11:40] (Flashback) Mom**
There's a proper way to catch fireflies.
**[11:43] (Flashback) Mom**
It's like this.
**[11:45] (Flashback) Mom**
You do it gently, so you don't crush them.
**[11:49] (Flashback) Mom**
That's how everything works.
**[11:52] (Flashback) Mom**
Anything important you've got to grab gently.
**[11:59] Fan**
Kyoto Fushimi's catching up!
**[12:00] Fan**
He's so determined!
**[12:01] Fan**
What's with his form?!
**[12:04] Midousuji**
Ball of victory... Rolling ball...
**[12:07] Midousuji**
This time, I won't let you go.
**[12:10] Midousuji**
I'd forgotten.
**[12:12] Midousuji**
Grab it with both hands.
**[12:15] Midousuji**
Grasp it tightly, but gently,
so it doesn't break.
**[12:19] Midousuji**
After all, it's important.
**[12:23] Midousuji**
I'm riding for victory!
**[12:28] Fan**
Kyoto Fushimi caught up to Sohoku!
**[12:31] Yuto**
They're neck and neck.
**[12:32] Yuto**
There's less than 100 meters left.
**[12:35] Yuto**
So what's going on?
**[12:38] Yuto**
I'm in a dangerous situation.
**[12:40] Yuto**
Ashikiba-san made me the ace.
**[12:42] Yuto**
The finish line's right there.
**[12:45] Yuto**
Even though I'm a climber, my body's
tingling and my heart's pounding.
**[12:51] Yuto**
I'm so excited by this situation.
**[12:55] Yuto**
This feeling...
**[12:59] Yuto**
My brother was a great sprinter.
**[13:02] Yuto**
My brother started riding early
and quickly distinguished himself.
**[13:07] Yuto**
Before I knew it...
**[13:09] Announcer**
* Shinkai Hayato wins the*
* elementary school division again!*
**[13:14] Yuto**
He was always shining up
on the winner's podium.
**[13:18] Yuto**
It wasn't long before I started riding, too.
**[13:24] (Flashback) Hayato**
Faster!
**[13:25] (Flashback) Yuto**
Wait, Hayato!
**[13:27] (Flashback) Hayato**
Yuto, let's race to the top of Mount Azuma!
**[13:30] (Flashback) Yuto**
Okay!
**[13:31] (Flashback) Yuto**
Yeah!
**[13:32] Yuto**
Everything was so much fun.
**[13:35] Yuto**
I loved being praised by
my brother, so I rode every day.
**[13:41] (Flashback) Hayato**
Want some?
**[13:42] (Flashback) Yuto**
Yeah!
**[13:45] (Flashback) Yuto**
The energy bars you give me
taste so good for some reason.
**[13:49] (Flashback) Hayato**
They all taste the same.
**[13:52] (Flashback) Yuto**
Hey, how can I ride like you?
**[13:56] (Flashback) Hayato**
It comes down to how much
you practice, I guess.
**[13:59] (Flashback) Yuto**
Got it!
**[14:01] (Flashback) Hayato**
Since you're three years younger,
**[14:03] (Flashback) Hayato**
we won't be on the same team
in middle or high school.
**[14:07] (Flashback) Yuto**
What? By the time I enter school,
you'll have graduated...
**[14:12] (Flashback) Yuto**
Huh?
**[14:13] (Flashback) Yuto**
No!
**[14:15] (Flashback) Hayato**
"No" isn't going to change anything.
**[14:16] (Flashback) Yuto**
I want to ride together!
**[14:20] Yuto**
Since I was so persistent,
he talked to a teacher about it.
**[14:24] Yuto**
I was allowed to practice with him
as long as it was only on Sundays.
**[14:28] Yuto**
As a grade schooler,
**[14:30] Yuto**
I was allowed to ride with my brother's
Hadano Daiichi Middle School team.
**[14:35] (Flashback) Hayato**
This is Yuto. He's my younger brother.
**[14:38] (Flashback) Hayato**
He started biking recently.
**[14:41] (Flashback) Hayato**
He's got talent.
**[14:43] Yuto**
*Talent? What's talent?*
**[14:47] Yuto**
*Well, whatever.*
**[14:48] Yuto**
*Now I get to keep riding with Hayato.*
**[14:53] Yuto**
At the time, I was really excited.
**[14:58] Yuto**
I wanted to see how incredible Hayato
had become as a middle schooler.
**[15:02] Yuto**
As though anticipating the
performance of a star player on TV,
**[15:06] Yuto**
some nights I couldn't sleep because
I was so excited to see him up close.
**[15:14] Yuto**
Why am I recalling that now?
**[15:17] Yuto**
I'm in the middle of a race!
**[15:19] Yuto**
Yeah!
**[15:21] Yuto**
But my brother left me behind far
more quickly than I imagined.
**[15:29] Yuto**
*What? We're riding in a huge group?*
**[15:32] Yuto**
*The guys in front are in my way.*
**[15:34] Yuto**
*I can't ride with Hayato like this.*
**[15:36] (Flashback) Yuto**
Excuse me!
**[15:39] (Flashback) Senpai**
Since you're still small, you can
stay out of the wind behind us.
**[15:43] (Flashback) Senpai**
There's no need to be shy.
**[15:44] (Flashback) Yuto**
That's not it.
**[15:46] (Flashback) Yuto**
There's no point if I'm back here. Hayato—
**[15:49] (Flashback) Senpai**
Your brother's amazing.
**[15:50] (Flashback) Senpai**
As a first-year, he took third
in his first tournament.
**[15:54] (Flashback) Yuto**
Can I move up to the front?
**[15:56] (Flashback) Senpai**
To the front? Don't waste your time.
**[15:58] (Flashback) Senpai**
Shinkai's so incredible, he's on
a different training menu.
**[16:03] Yuto**
*What? No way!*
**[16:04] Yuto**
*Wait!*
**[16:05] (Flashback) Yuto**
I'm going with him!
**[16:06] (Flashback) Senpai**
You can't. The course is too hard.
**[16:09] (Flashback) Yuto**
Then when can I ride with him?
**[16:12] (Flashback) Senpai**
He's faster than bad high schoolers.
**[16:15] (Flashback) Senpai**
You can't handle it.
**[16:20] Yuto**
Everyone else always happily described
how much better my brother was than me.
**[16:26] Yuto**
*We're on different levels?*
**[16:28] Yuto**
*Don't be absurd, damn it!*
**[16:29] Yuto**
*I'll just raise my own level!*
**[16:32] Yuto**
*I'll participate in a race and win!*
**[16:37] Yuto**
*It comes down to how much you practice.*
**[16:39] Yuto**
*Hayato said not to get the wrong idea.*
**[16:42] Yuto**
I started practicing alone
to catch up to Hayato.
**[16:46] (Flashback) Yuto**
Yeah!
**[16:48] (Flashback) Adult**
What a fast grade schooler!
**[16:50] Yuto**
I practiced every day.
**[16:52] Yuto**
And then...
**[16:54] Yuto**
I won my eighth race.
**[16:56] Yuto**
*Yes! See that, everyone?*
**[17:00] Yuto**
*You can't have any objections now.*
**[17:03] Yuto**
*Anyway, winning a race feels good.*
**[17:06] Yuto**
*Is this how Hayato felt?*
**[17:09] Yuto**
*It's not bad.*
**[17:11] Yuto**
*Now people will know the name "Yuto."*
**[17:15] Yuto**
But what I learned at that race...
**[17:18] Announce**
* The winner of the elementary school division*
* is Shinkai Hayato's younger brother!*
**[17:24] Yuto**
...was how great my brother was.
**[17:26] (Flashback) Fan**
Wow, he's Hayato's brother.
**[17:29] (Flashback) Fan**
When his brother was in grade school...
**[17:31] (Flashback) Fan**
I know the one. That race, right?
**[17:33] (Flashback) Fan**
Yeah.
**[17:33] Yuto**
*Huh? Hey!*
**[17:35] Yuto**
*Wait! I'm the one who won!*
**[17:37] Yuto**
*I worked pretty hard for this!*
**[17:40] Yuto**
*I'm Yuto!*
**[17:43] (Flashback) Reporter**
Congratulations.
**[17:44] (Flashback) Reporter**
Can I get an interview?
**[17:45] (Flashback) Yuto**
Sure.
**[17:46] (Flashback) Reporter**
Your brother's riding in the
middle school race after this.
**[17:49] (Flashback) Reporter**
Do you think he'll win?
**[17:50] (Flashback) Yuto**
What?
**[17:52] (Flashback) Reporter**
What's your brother normally like?
**[17:54] (Flashback) Yuto**
What? My brother?
**[17:56] (Flashback) Yuto**
He makes me get the remote control for him.
**[17:58] (Flashback) Reporter**
I bet you hope you'll catch up
to your brother soon.
**[18:01] (Flashback) Yuto**
Y-Yeah...
**[18:04] Yuto**
*Why am I smiling and talking about Hayato?*
**[18:10] Yuto**
After that day, things between my
brother and me became awkward.
**[18:14] Yuto**
We stopped talking.
**[18:16] Yuto**
Yeah!
**[18:18] Fan**
Such acceleration!
**[18:19] Fan**
#16's trying to catch up!
**[18:22] (Flashback) Hayato**
What's wrong, Yuto?
**[18:24] (Flashback) Hayato**
Were you not happy to win the other day?
**[18:28] (Flashback) Yuto**
I was happy.
**[18:32] (Flashback) Hayato**
I see.
**[18:34] (Flashback) Yuto**
Listen, I'm going to stop riding
with the middle school team.
**[18:41] (Flashback) Hayato**
I see.
**[18:43] (Flashback) Yuto**
I've only ever been Hayato-kun's
younger brother.
**[18:47] (Flashback) Hayato**
I see...
**[18:48] (Flashback) Yuto**
Close the door.
**[18:51] (Flashback) Hayato**
Sure.
**[18:55] Hayato**
*Hayato-kun, huh?*
**[18:57] Hayato**
* Maybe always being seen as my*
* brother is stressing him out.*
**[19:02] Yuto**
*Everyone says it. They all do.*
**[19:05] Yuto**
* Hayato's amazing,*
* learn from Hayato, become Hayato.*
**[19:09] Yuto**
*I can't do it!*
**[19:11] Yuto**
*Don't be ridiculous!*
**[19:12] Yuto**
*I'm Shinkai Yuto!*
**[19:17] Yuto**
* If I keep riding like this, I'll always*
* be Hayato's little brother.*
**[19:22] Yuto**
*If Hayato-kun's a sprinter...*
**[19:25] Yuto**
*Then I'll become a climber!*
**[19:28] Yuto**
*Say it! Say it!*
**[19:31] Yuto**
*Call me Yuto!*
**[19:33] (Flashback) Rider**
He's so small, but fast!
**[19:35] (Flashback) Rider**
I've seen that face before!
**[19:37] (Flashback) Rider**
That's Shinkai Hayato's brother!
**[19:39] Yuto**
*I'll win the hill climb!*
**[19:42] Yuto**
*I'll participate in the Inter-High,*
**[19:44] Yuto**
* beat the strongest climber, and prove*
* to everyone that I'm Shinkai Yuto!*
**[19:50] Yuto**
*I won't follow my brother's path!*
**[19:55] Yuto**
It's odd.
**[19:57] Yuto**
I thought I made up my mind that day.
**[20:00] Yuto**
But since the moment Ashikiba-san made me
the ace, my cells haven't stopped buzzing.
**[20:06] Yuto**
What's this tightness in my chest?
**[20:09] Yuto**
This nostalgic feeling.
**[20:12] Yuto**
This speed, this excitement, this tension...
**[20:16] Yuto**
I'm just before the finish line on
the second day of the Inter-High.
**[20:18] Yuto**
It doesn't make sense for me
to be recalling this now.
**[20:24] (Flashback) Hayato**
Let's race to the top of Mount Azuma!
**[20:25] (Flashback) Yuto**
Okay!
**[20:27] Yuto**
I used to race against Hayato
all the time for fun.
**[20:30] Yuto**
That was a sprint.
**[20:33] (Flashback) Hayato**
That's it, Yuto! Faster!
**[20:38] Yuto**
With tears in my eyes, a smile on my face...
**[20:41] (Flashback) Hayato**
You're strong.
**[20:44] Yuto**
With joy in my heart...
**[20:47] Yuto**
He taught me how to sprint!
**[20:52] Yuto**
There used to be a demon that
appeared on Hakone's straight roads.
**[20:56] Yuto**
Have you heard that demon
has a younger brother?
**[21:05] Imaizumi**
The brother! His eyes have changed.
**[21:08] Midousuji**
A demon! Does he become one, too?
**[21:11] Midousuji**
A sprinting demon?
**[21:13] Yuto**
Yeah!
**[21:19] Fan**
He caught up!
**[21:20] Fan**
He forced his way in at the last second!
**[21:23] Fan**
He passed them!
**[21:25] Hakogaku**
Go, Yuto!
**[21:26] Hakogaku**
There's fifty meters left!
**[21:30] Yuto**
A sprint!
**[21:31] Yuto**
It's hard!
**[21:33] Yuto**
But it feels so good!
**[23:14] Hayato**
Yuto, let's have a staring contest for it.
**[23:17] Yuto**
Okay.
**[23:18] Both**
Ready, set, go!
**[23:27] Yuto**
Your face is funny!
**[23:29] Hayato**
You lose.
**[23:32] Hayato**
Want some?
**[23:35] Yuto**
Yeah!

Soon someone will be crowned
**[00:08] Sakamichi**
the winner of the Inter-High's second day.
**[00:11] Sakamichi**
It's the last few meters.
**[00:13] Sakamichi**
But it's the hardest few meters of all.
**[00:17] Sakamichi**
You can do it, Imaizumi-kun!
**[00:21] Imaizumi**
You can go faster, Imaizumi Shunsuke!
**[00:24] Imaizumi**
Surpass your limits!
**[00:27] Imaizumi**
You just watch.
**[00:29] Imaizumi**
I can't give up after carrying the
jersey entrusted to me this far!
**[00:35] Imaizumi**
I'll jam it across the finish line first!
**[00:38] Imaizumi**
Until I do, I can't stop pumping
these legs, even if they fall to pieces!
**[00:43] Imaizumi**
Move, Shinkai!
**[00:45] Imaizumi**
That's my spot!
**[00:49] Imaizumi**
More! This is the end!
**[00:51] Imaizumi**
Grant me your strength!
**[00:53] Imaizumi**
Naruko, give me your determination!

Onoda, give me your unwavering effort!

There's thirty meters to the finish line!
**[01:01] Imaizumi**
I'll hold my position!
**[01:02] Imaizumi**
Go all out, Imaizumi Shunsuke!
**[01:04] Yuto**
I won't let you!

All you need is desire!

All that matters is how much you want it!
**[01:19] Midousuji**
Victory...
**[01:21] Midousuji**
Winning...
**[01:23] Midousuji**
All that matters is how
desperate you are to taste it!
**[01:29] Midousuji**
You don't need any roundabout reasons to win!
**[01:32] Midousuji**
It only matters if you're
so desperate to win,
**[01:34] Midousuji**
you sprout arms from every pore on your body!
**[01:38] Midousuji**
If you need it that badly!
**[01:43] Fan**
What's with the Kyoto Fushimi
guy's strange aura?
**[01:46] Fan**
It's insane!

Twenty meters remain!

Winning a road race

two hundred kilometers in a single day
**[04:31] Pierre**
means you overcame obstacles,

prepared and devised strategies,

It was very close, but the winner

Kyoto Fushimi High School's #111,
second-year Midousuji Akira!
**[05:13] Midousuji**
Won... I won...
**[05:19] Midousuji**
Victory, victory, victory, victory!
**[05:24] Midousuji**
I won this time.
**[05:26] Midousuji**
I kept it from escaping, like a firefly.
**[05:31] Fan**
He beat Hakone Academy and Sohoku!
**[05:35] Fan**
Who called him gross during the race?

He's awesome!

A delightful finish! Ultimate victory!

**[05:52] Midousuji**
Today's strongest man, Midousuji Akira-kun!
**[05:57] Fan**
What's gotten into him?
**[05:59] Fan**
Maybe it's a victory pose...
**[06:02] Fan**
I've never seen anything like it!
**[06:04] Fan**
He's waving his arms?
**[06:06] Fan**
There's nothing normal about him.

I'm a fan now!

The fifth place racer is entering
the final straightaway!
**[06:42] Sakamichi**
Midousuji-kun just barely
won the finish line sprint.
**[06:47] Sakamichi**
Imaizumi-kun...
**[06:50] Sakamichi**
The atmosphere of the crowd feels strange.
**[06:54] Sakamichi**
The air feels heavy.
**[06:56] Sakamichi**
They're all excited.
**[06:58] Sakamichi**
The crowd's focus is directed
toward Midousuji-kun's victory.
**[07:03] Sakamichi**
They probably expected Hakone Academy to win.
**[07:06] Sakamichi**
Since he overcame that,
they're intoxicated by the upset.
**[07:09] Sakamichi**
This is what we did last year.
**[07:13] Sakamichi**
The pressure is incredible.
**[07:16] Fan**
Last year's dark horse was Sohoku!
**[07:18] Fan**
And then Hakone Academy beat them yesterday!
**[07:21] Fan**
Maybe this year's dark horse
will be Kyoto Fushimi!
**[07:25] Sakamichi**
What?
**[07:26] Sakamichi**
Someone's coming?
**[07:28] Sakamichi**
There's 300 meters left. That's...
**[07:31] Sakamichi**
Kyoto Fushimi #112, Captain Mizuta-san!
**[07:34] Mizuta**
I heard them announce our team's victory!
**[07:38] Mizuta**
Victory for Kyoto Fushimi,
the team I'm the captain of!
**[07:41] Mizuta**
The news restored my energy!
**[07:46] Mizuta**
I'm passing the Mountain King!
**[07:49] (Flashback) Teshima**
Listen closely, Onoda.
**[07:51] (Flashback) Teshima**
The Inter-High uses special rules.
**[07:53] (Flashback) Teshima**
We start in the order we finish.
**[07:55] (Flashback) Teshima**
That day's results affect
the next day's race.
**[07:58] (Flashback) Teshima**
Try to finish as quickly as possible.
**[08:00] (Flashback) Teshima**
If you end up racing someone at the
finish line, don't let them win.
**[08:03] Fan**
Mizuta!

Mizuta!

**[08:47] Imaizumi**
I'm sorry!
**[08:51] Imaizumi**
Because I couldn't stay ahead in the last
few centimeters, we lost to Kyoto Fushimi.
**[08:57] Aya**
Imaizumi-kun, you don't
need to apologize so—
**[09:03] Teshima**
Imaizumi...
**[09:04] Imaizumi**
I'm sorry.
**[09:06] Imaizumi**
I have no excuse.
**[09:07] Imaizumi**
I attacked with 250 meters remaining
and threw my bike at the end,
**[09:12] Imaizumi**
but I failed to reach the finish line.
**[09:14] Imaizumi**
It's because I wasn't strong enough!
**[09:16] Imaizumi**
I wasn't good enough!
**[09:19] Teshima**
Taking the finish line is the ace's job.
**[09:22] Teshima**
All of us, including Naruko,
**[09:24] Teshima**
rode all out for the finish line.
**[09:27] Teshima**
We trusted you.
**[09:29] Teshima**
You failed to do your job.
**[09:32] Sakamichi**
Teshima-san...
**[09:37] Teshima**
That's the logic, anyway.
**[09:40] Teshima**
But the ace can't win every time.
**[09:43] Teshima**
We fully trusted you.
**[09:45] Teshima**
You rode as hard as you could.
**[09:47] Teshima**
If you still couldn't win, then so it goes.
**[09:52] Imaizumi**
But we don't know if
I rode as hard as I could!
**[09:56] Teshima**
Sugimoto told me all about
how hard you worked.
**[10:01] Teshima**
He said it was the best you've ever ridden.
**[10:04] Teshima**
That you rode powerfully.
**[10:07] Teshima**
In the end, he broke down in tears.
**[10:10] Teshima**
If it was enough to make him cry, the way
you rode could be nothing if not all out.
**[10:16] Teshima**
Right?
**[10:19] Teshima**
The results are disappointing,
**[10:20] Teshima**
but we should feel relieved that everyone
survived and finished in one piece.
**[10:25] Imaizumi**
Sugimoto...
**[10:27] Aoyagi**
There's still tomorrow.
**[10:29] Aoyagi**
We have another chance.
**[10:35] Kaburagi**
Uh, you know what they say.
**[10:37] Kaburagi**
"Go to hell."
**[10:38] Kaburagi**
Rise up from the depths of hell.
**[10:42] Aoyagi**
You just told him to go to hell.
**[10:45] Kaburagi**
Seriously?
**[10:48] Imaizumi**
Naruko...
**[10:50] Naruko**
You're weak.
**[10:53] Naruko**
Show off, show off, and show off...
**[10:55] Naruko**
Show off until you can't anymore.
**[10:57] Naruko**
The hotshot I know is cooler
and haughtier than this.
**[11:06] Naruko**
The second day was exhausting!
**[11:08] Teshima**
It was hard.
**[11:09] Teshima**
It was a long stage.
**[11:10] Danchiku**
It really was a close race for the finish.
**[11:13] Kaburagi**
If you thought so, then it must've been.

**[11:54] Midousuji**
Hello, everyone.
**[11:56] Midousuji**
My name is Midousuji Akira.
**[11:59] Fan**
He's a funny guy.
**[12:00] Fan**
He said hello.
**[12:02] Midousuji**
I have one thing to say about today's race.
**[12:07] Midousuji**
Gross!
**[12:09] Fan**
Huh?
**[12:10] Midousuji**
Oh, excuse me.
**[12:12] Midousuji**
There was something wrong with the mic.
**[12:16] Midousuji**
Today I was involved in a
very close race at the end.
**[12:20] Midousuji**
I was able to keep racing until
the end because of the fans,
**[12:24] Midousuji**
my teammates, the support staff, and...
**[12:28] Midousuji**
Because I had these two strong, strong rivals.
**[12:32] Midousuji**
Because I had rivals.
**[12:35] Midousuji**
They're lizards.
**[12:37] Fan**
Li...
**[12:38] Fan**
Did he say lizards?
**[12:39] Midousuji**
Like lizards that crawl around and
are quick to hide under rocks.
**[12:45] Midousuji**
Because these imbeciles on either side
of me rode without courage or strength...
**[12:53] Midousuji**
I was able to win.
**[12:57] Midousuji**
Gross!
**[12:59] Midousuji**
Gross, gross, gross, gross,
gross, gross, gross, gross!
**[13:04] Midousuji**
What's wrong?
**[13:06] Midousuji**
You look nonchalant. And you look so formal.
**[13:10] Midousuji**
You look like you're not frustrated.
**[13:13] Midousuji**
Your fans are disappointed.
**[13:15] Midousuji**
You've got to show them a
greater variety of expressions.
**[13:18] Midousuji**
Are you trying to show off?
**[13:20] Midousuji**
Aren't you actually
seething with frustration?
**[13:22] Midousuji**
Don't you wish you could do it
over if you had a time machine?
**[13:28] Midousuji**
But too bad!
**[13:32] Midousuji**
You lost!
**[13:35] Midousuji**
There's no price you can
pay to change the results!
**[13:40] Midousuji**
They just barely lost.
**[13:42] Midousuji**
But in road racing, it doesn't
matter how close you were.
**[13:47] Midousuji**
It's not the difference, but the rank!
**[13:49] Midousuji**
One kilometer, ten kilometers,
a few centimeters... It's all the same!
**[13:53] Midousuji**
Road racing is win or lose!
**[13:55] Midousuji**
Topography! Strategy! Resourcefulness!
Will! Strength! Decision-making ability!
**[14:00] Midousuji**
In every way, I was far
superior to these pests!
**[14:07] Midousuji**
I proved that of all the
people who raced today,
**[14:13] Midousuji**
I was the most right!
**[14:18] Fan**
No, he's right.
**[14:20] Fan**
Winning proves that.
**[14:22] Fan**
He's so unconventional!
**[14:24] Fan**
He's overcome Hakone Academy!
**[14:26] Fan**
The champs have been replaced.
**[14:28] Fan**
No, he's not a champion.
**[14:30] Fan**
He's a ruler!
**[14:31] Fan**
He beat back Hakone Academy's steady advance
and beat last year's winners, Sohoku!
**[14:37] Fan**
All by himself, too!
**[14:39] Fan**
He's the ruler of the race, Midousuji Akira!
**[14:42] Fan**
Midousuji!
**[14:43] Fan**
Kyoto Fushimi!
**[14:46] Midousuji**
People are weak.
**[14:47] Midousuji**
That's why they look up to the strong.
**[14:51] Midousuji**
With a victorious cry,
I swayed the crowd to my side.
**[14:58] Midousuji**
Tomorrow is the last day.
**[15:00] Midousuji**
Tomorrow's race should
be even more interesting.
**[15:04] Announce**
The sprint and mountain awards
will be handed out next.
**[15:10] Teshima**
Loss, huh?
**[15:12] Teshima**
Either way, tomorrow is our last race.
**[15:15] Teshima**
We'll have to face off against
the guys standing on that stage.
**[15:19] Aoyagi**
Yeah.
**[15:20] Teshima**
And it'll be our last race together, Hajime.
**[15:26] Teshima**
We third-years are retiring after this race.
**[15:30] Aoyagi**
Yeah, Junta.
**[15:32] Teshima**
Will you keep me from trembling tomorrow, too?
**[15:34] Aoyagi**
Yeah, I will.
**[15:36] Teshima**
You will pull me across the flats?
**[15:38] Aoyagi**
Yeah, I'll pull you at 100% speed.
**[15:41] Teshima**
That's good to hear.
**[15:44] Teshima**
You know, I've been thinking...
**[15:47] Teshima**
I have a small wish.
**[15:48] Teshima**
I'm hoping that during tomorrow's
race at the Inter-High,
**[15:53] Teshima**
we can sync up our movements and breathing
**[15:57] Teshima**
and do our Synchronized Straight Twin.
**[16:09] Aoyagi**
I'm okay. It's nothing.
**[16:13] Aoyagi**
I just tripped.
**[16:17] Aoyagi**
I'm tired from today's race.
**[16:19] Aoyagi**
I'll be fine after some rest.
**[16:24] Aya**
You're doing more laundry, Miki?
**[16:27] Miki**
Yeah. I just have this and
this and this, Aya-chan.
**[16:30] Aya**
Why are you smiling?
**[16:33] Teshima**
I never thought I was doing
it alone, but I was arrogant.
**[16:39] Teshima**
I thought I just had to do my best.
**[16:42] Teshima**
That he would help me.
**[16:46] Teshima**
Somewhere in my mind, I thought that.
**[16:49] Teshima**
I hid behind my weakness.
**[16:53] Teshima**
Like he has until now.
**[16:56] Teshima**
Like he did today.
**[16:59] Teshima**
I thought he'd do something.
**[17:03] Teshima**
I'm an idiot. I relied on him too much.
**[17:06] Teshima**
I assumed he was tough.
**[17:08] Teshima**
I assumed he'd always be by my side.
**[17:10] (Flashback) Aoyagi**
I'm okay. It's nothing.
**[17:14] Teshima**
Of course it's not "nothing"!
**[17:16] Teshima**
But I told him my dream.
**[17:22] Teshima**
Aoyagi, are you hurting?
**[17:25] Teshima**
What about tomorrow's race?
**[17:36] Aoyagi**
Junta...
**[17:38] Aoyagi**
Thanks for telling me your dream.
**[17:41] Aoyagi**
I always worry about the
things I couldn't do.
**[17:45] Aoyagi**
That's why your cheerfulness saves me.
**[17:49] Aoyagi**
You always tell me about
miracles, hopes, and dreams.
**[17:53] Aoyagi**
Because of the visions you show me,
**[17:56] Aoyagi**
I'm able to move forward, Junta.
**[18:01] Aoyagi**
I pushed myself too hard.
**[18:03] Aoyagi**
The pain's getting worse.
**[18:06] Aoyagi**
I don't have a choice.
**[18:07] Aoyagi**
I'll have to rely on someone.
**[18:09] Aoyagi**
An experienced first-year...
**[18:12] Aoyagi**
Kaburagi? No...
**[18:15] Aoyagi**
What? You're injured?
**[18:17] Aoyagi**
Danchiku, I'm going to ride tomorrow.
**[18:20] Aoyagi**
So I need you to get some things for me.
**[18:23] Danchiku**
Yes, sir.
**[18:24] Aoyagi**
All the tape, supports, ice,
and painkillers we have.
**[18:30] Aoyagi**
I need you to tape me up
and massage me in my room.
**[18:33] Aoyagi**
And don't tell anyone about this.
**[18:37] Aoyagi**
Not even Kaburagi.
**[18:38] Aoyagi**
We don't need to make them worry.
**[18:41] Danchiku**
Yes, sir.
**[18:44] Naruko**
What are you up to, Onoda-kun?
**[18:46] Sakamichi**
Naruko-kun.
**[18:47] Naruko**
You're riding after your bath?
**[18:50] Sakamichi**
Yeah.
**[18:52] Sakamichi**
Toji-san swapped my gears out for some
lighter climbing ones for tomorrow's race.
**[18:56] Sakamichi**
I thought I'd test them out.
**[18:59] Naruko**
Really?
**[19:00] Sakamichi**
But that's not the only reason.
**[19:03] Sakamichi**
Tomorrow's the last day
of this year's Inter-High.
**[19:06] Sakamichi**
When I think about it, I can't relax.
**[19:09] Sakamichi**
I feel excited and restless.
**[19:12] Sakamichi**
I feel like I still have things left undone.
**[19:15] Sakamichi**
I thought riding my bike would help me relax.
**[19:20] Naruko**
Sounds like you.
**[19:22] Naruko**
But what sounds even more like you is
listening to a Whatever Hime CD on repeat.
***SIGN*** Love Hime
**[19:30] Sakamichi**
That would work, too!
**[19:32] Sakamichi**
Which should I do?
**[19:33] Naruko**
You've already got your bike out.
**[19:35] Naruko**
Go for a ride.
**[19:36] Sakamichi**
Okay. I'll be back soon.
**[19:42] Sakamichi**
I'm nervous.
**[19:45] Sakamichi**
Tomorrow's the last race.
**[19:48] Sakamichi**
Everyone's done their best this past year.
**[19:51] Sakamichi**
They've worked really hard.
**[19:53] Sakamichi**
But as of right now,
**[19:55] Sakamichi**
Sohoku hasn't won a single
number tag at this Inter-High.
**[20:00] Sakamichi**
Imaizumi-kun did his best at the
finish line today, but he didn't win.
**[20:06] Sakamichi**
Tomorrow's the last day.
**[20:08] Sakamichi**
I have to work hard on the third day.
**[20:11] Sakamichi**
Since I won last year, they probably
expect me to win this year.
**[20:16] Sakamichi**
I wonder if I can.
**[20:18] Sakamichi**
No, I shouldn't think that!
**[20:21] Sakamichi**
I won't be able to relax!
**[20:24] Sakamichi**
But last year, I had Makishima-san.
**[20:28] (Flashback) Makishima**
Enjoy the tension for now.
**[20:31] (Flashback) Makishima**
They're motivating us
more than you might expect.
**[20:35] (Flashback) Makishima**
You have to think of ways
**[20:37] (Flashback) Makishima**
to turn the situation around.
**[20:39] Sakamichi**
No, what am I thinking?
**[20:42] Sakamichi**
Aoyagi-san said it's different this year.
**[20:44] Sakamichi**
I'm stronger now.
**[20:46] Sakamichi**
I'll sing the *Love Hime* song.
**[20:49] Sakamichi**
I've always felt these hidden feelings—
**[20:55] Sakamichi**
Huh? A bike?
**[20:57] Sakamichi**
Who's riding this late at
night on this narrow pass?
**[21:02] Sakamichi**
I've seen that form before.
**[21:05] Sakamichi**
He's fast.
**[21:06] Sakamichi**
And silent.
**[21:10] Sakamichi**
He's climbing silently, like he's on rails.
**[21:14] Sakamichi**
So quietly that it puts
even the forest to sleep.
**[21:17] Sakamichi**
The Sleeping Climb!
**[21:19] Sakamichi**
It must be him.
**[21:21] Sakamichi**
The man who brought excitement to the
mountains at last year's Inter-High...
**[21:25] Sakamichi**
Hakone Academy's Mountain God, Toudou-san!
**[21:27] Toudou**
Well, if isn't four-eyes.
**[23:02] Sakamichi**
Princess, Princess!
**[23:04] Sakamichi**
I love, love, love you!
**[23:06] Sakamichi**
Princess! Princess!
**[23:07] Naruko**
Hearing this song gives me strength.
**[23:08] Sakamichi**
Twinkle, twinkle!
**[23:09] Kaburagi**
Jeez! Please don't sing that song!
**[23:12] Aoyagi**
You're not going to sing?
**[23:13] Kaburagi**
No way!
**[23:15] Kaburagi**
I had no choice before, when it
was a command from God...
**[23:18] Kaburagi**
Teshima-san, please put a stop to this!
**[23:20] Both**
Princess, Princess!
**[23:21] Kaburagi**
Hey!
**[23:22] Danchiku**
Princess, Princess...
**[23:24] Kaburagi**
Danchiku...
**[23:25] Sakamichi**
Today, we'll sing the medley!
**[23:27] Sakamichi**
I've always felt these hidden feelings!
**[23:32] Sakamichi**
You'll always be my princess!
**[23:33] All**
Huh?
**[23:34] Imaizumi**
Ta-ta-ta-tan!
**[23:35] All**
What?!

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

**[00:07] Miki**
Morning has arrived.
**[00:09] Miki**
The refreshing morning of the highlands...
**[00:15] Miki**
The final morning.
**[00:24] Miki**
Sorry, Aya-chan.
**[00:25] Miki**
Did you turn off my alarm?
**[00:32] Miki**
Aya-chan, it's time.
**[00:34] Aya**
I know. I'm getting up.
**[00:38] Aya**
But first, three more minutes.
**[00:40] Miki**
No.
**[00:42] Miki**
It's their second Inter-High.
**[00:45] Miki**
Everyone's trained as hard as they can.
**[00:48] Miki**
They didn't waste even a second.
**[00:52] Miki**
New students joined the club.
They became second-years.
**[00:56] Miki**
Summer came. They went through
some difficult times.
**[01:00] Miki**
They've gotten so much stronger.
**[01:03] Miki**
They were strong during the race.
**[01:06] Miki**
But at this year's Inter-High, they still
haven't won a single colored number tag.
**[01:12] Miki**
Today is the final race.
**[01:14] Miki**
The final day of their
Inter-High as second-years.
**[01:18] Miki**
I hope their final wish comes true.
**[01:21] Miki**
All I can do is cheer them on
and support them, but...
**[01:27] Miki**
Good luck, Team Sohoku!

But Hakone Academy was the only team
to send two riders to the finish line.
**[03:29] Reporter**
You were in perfect form.
**[03:31] Izumida**
Yes.
**[03:32] Reporter**
It's too bad you failed to

Today's our last chance to set off

**[05:23] Teshima**
Even if we give everything we've got

**[05:26] Teshima**
our faith in miracles will take us there.
**[05:28] Teshima**
We'll keep our faith alive.

Please don't set your expectations that high.

What? But I'd feel bad.
**[08:14] Teshima**
My heart won't stop pounding.
**[08:16] Teshima**
This is crazy. It's my third and final—
**[08:19] Teshima**
No...
**[08:20] Teshima**
It's because it's my first
and final Inter-High.
**[08:24] Teshima**
I longed to race in the Inter-High.
**[08:30] Teshima**
I fought hard, but failed
to qualify in my second year.
**[08:33] Teshima**
Even after becoming captain in my third year,
**[08:35] Teshima**
I finally earned an Inter-High number
tag only after desperately hanging on.
**[08:43] Teshima**
My legs and arms are shaking.
**[08:46] Teshima**
My heart is so small.
**[08:49] Teshima**
The Inter-High is ending.
**[08:52] Teshima**
My fate and Sohoku's will be decided today.
**[08:58] Teshima**
It's the final day.
**[09:01] Teshima**
Everything I've done and built up
these past three years.
**[09:05] Teshima**
The sky's so bright.
**[09:07] Teshima**
That sky is connected to today's finish line.
**[09:11] Teshima**
The finish line lies beyond it.
**[09:12] Teshima**
But...
**[09:15] Teshima**
I probably won't be able to finish today.
**[09:19] Teshima**
That's fine, though.
**[09:22] Teshima**
As long as someone entrusted
with our jersey makes it...
**[09:25] Teshima**
As long as I can see the finish line
through his eyes, it's fine.
**[09:29] Teshima**
Let's go, Teshima Junta.

Who are you talking to, Takuto? Fairies?

Thirty seconds.

You're starting before us.

Meet up with hotshot as soon as you can.

Got it.

The third and final day.
**[13:52] Sakamichi**
I'm racing toward the finish line
at the end of this road.
**[13:57] Sakamichi**
My heart is pounding.
**[13:59] Sakamichi**
I have only my body and legs
to propel myself forward.
**[14:03] Sakamichi**
There's no guarantee I'll
make it there in one piece.
**[14:06] Sakamichi**
So...
**[14:07] Sakamichi**
I'll ride as hard as I can!
**[14:15] Sakamichi**
Manami-kun!
**[14:16] Manami**
I'll catch up to you later.
**[14:18] Manami**
Let's meet again on
the course, Sakamichi-kun.
**[14:21] Sakamichi**
Great. I was worried since
I didn't see you, Manami-kun.
**[14:26] Sakamichi**
W-Were you in the bathroom?
**[14:28] Manami**
No, I overslept.
**[14:30] Sakamichi**
He overslept? Sounds like him.
**[14:34] Sakamichi**
I'm sure we'll meet again today somewhere.
**[14:37] Sakamichi**
Then let's ride together
like we did last year!
**[14:44] Staff**
#13, hurry.
**[14:46] Manami**
Sorry.
**[14:47] Doubashi**
What are you doing, Manami?
**[14:50] Kuroda**
You're lucky we're starting in
the order we finished, Manami.
**[14:52] Doubashi**
Get in line. Don't scare us like that.
**[14:56] Kuroda**
Are you at least focused?
**[14:58] Manami**
Yeah, totally.
**[15:01] Kuroda**
Good.
**[15:03] Izumida**
Let's go, Hakone Academy.
**[15:07] Manami**
Let's go.
**[15:10] Izumida**
This is the final first step we'll
take towards reclaiming our throne!
**[15:13] Announce**
The second pack will now start in order.
**[15:15] Teshima**
Let's go, Sohoku!
**[15:17] Naruko**
We can't let Hakone Academy
and hotshot hog the spotlight!
**[15:22] Naruko**
Let's make a splash on the final day, guys!
**[15:27] Kaburagi**
The final day of the Inter-High
is finally starting!
**[15:30] Kaburagi**
It's my time to shine!
**[15:32] Kaburagi**
I'm ready to go anytime! Just say the word!
**[15:35] Aoyagi**
Don't go.
**[15:36] Kaburagi**
Yes, sir!
**[15:38] Kaburagi**
Huh? What?
**[15:40] Kaburagi**
You just told me to go.
**[15:42] Aoyagi**
I said don't go.
**[15:43] Aoyagi**
As in "do not."
**[15:45] Kaburagi**
Oh, *don't* go.
**[15:47] Both**
He's an idiot.
**[15:50] Midousuji**
Morph, morph, morph!
**[15:53] Fan**
The lead pack's here! He's saying "morph!"
**[15:55] Fan**
Morph!
**[15:56] Fan**
It's yesterday's winners, Kyoto Fushimi!
**[15:58] Fan**
Kyoto Fushimi's Midousuji is wearing the
previous day's winner's yellow number tag!
**[16:04] Fan**
That unconventional award
ceremony was the best!
**[16:07] Fan**
You can do it, Kyoto Fushimi!
**[16:09] Fan**
Kyoto!
**[16:12] Imaizumi**
Midousuji...
**[16:13] Imaizumi**
He won over the fans with the second day's
victory and his performance.
**[16:18] Imaizumi**
The atmosphere has changed
completely since yesterday.
**[16:21] Fan**
We hope you win again today!
**[16:22] Fan**
You've got this, Kyoto Fushimi!
**[16:24] Imaizumi**
It's harder for us now.
**[16:29] Sakamichi**
You just wait, Imaizumi-kun.
**[16:31] Sakamichi**
Today's course starts by
taking us around the lake.
**[16:35] Sakamichi**
It's not too long, but it's
a fairly long, flat road.
**[16:39] Sakamichi**
I need to catch up here.
**[16:42] Sakamichi**
Around now, at the front...
**[16:57] Ashikiba**
I caught up, Yuto.
**[16:59] Yuto**
That was quick, Ashikiba-san.
**[17:01] Sakamichi**
Third-year and ace Ashikiba-san
and first-year Shinkai Yuto-kun.
**[17:06] Sakamichi**
Against to Hakone Academy's two,
Sohoku has only Imaizumi-kun.
**[17:13] Ashikiba**
How do you feel?
**[17:17] Yuto**
Not bad.
**[17:19] Imaizumi**
Damn.
**[17:21] Imaizumi**
I can't believe yesterday's
results created this situation.
**[17:25] Imaizumi**
Is he here yet?
**[17:26] Imaizumi**
Come quickly, Onoda!
**[17:30] Sakamichi**
I see him. It's Imaizumi-kun!
**[17:33] Sakamichi**
He's still pretty far ahead.
**[17:36] Sakamichi**
But I'll get there!
**[17:40] Mizuta**
What?!
**[17:45] Sakamichi**
I'll definitely catch up.
**[17:48] Sakamichi**
Imaizumi-kun!
**[17:55] Sakamichi**
Since meeting you and learning about the
world of bicycle racing, I've changed.
**[18:04] Sakamichi**
I'd never played a sport before.
**[18:08] Sakamichi**
I met so many people after
joining the bicycle racing club.
**[18:14] Sakamichi**
Kinjou-san taught me how Team Sohoku never
gives up and always supports each other.
**[18:23] (Flashback) Kinjou**
You don't need to try so hard by yourself.
**[18:25] (Flashback) Kinjou**
If you fall, I will support you.
**[18:30] (Flashback) Kinjou**
But if someone else should fall,
you must support them.
**[18:34] (Flashback) Kinjou**
That is Team Sohoku.
**[18:36] (Flashback) Kinjou**
That's how we ride.
**[18:40] Sakamichi**
The strong-willed and determined
Tadokoro-san taught me to ride single-mindedly.
**[18:48] (Flashback) Tadokoro**
I am eternally grateful enough to you.
**[18:53] (Flashback) Tadokoro**
Onoda...
**[18:56] (Flashback) Tadokoro**
Thank you.
**[18:58] (Flashback) Tadokoro**
I didn't think I'd get to see those jerseys
with my own eyes again...
**[19:08] (Flashback) Tadokoro**
I'm back!
**[19:10] (Flashback) Tadokoro**
Team Sohoku!
**[19:13] Sakamichi**
Makishima-san taught me the difficulty,
fun, and coolness of climbing.
**[19:21] (Flashback) Makishima**
I understand...
**[19:23] (Flashback) Makishima**
I'm a climber, too.
**[19:25] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
What?
**[19:27] (Flashback) Makishima**
You just have to ride.
**[19:30] (Flashback) Makishima**
On a bicycle, the more you pedal,
the stronger you'll become.
**[19:35] Sakamichi**
Sugimoto-kun, Koga-san,
Kanzaki-san, and Tachibana-san...
**[19:41] Sakamichi**
They're all important members of Team Sohoku.
**[19:44] Sakamichi**
No, that's not all.
**[19:50] Sakamichi**
Manami-kun and the other
members of Hakone Academy...
**[19:55] Sakamichi**
Midousuji-kun and the rest of Kyoto Fushimi...
**[20:00] Sakamichi**
Everyone riding on this course
right now is so fast and strong,
**[20:07] Sakamichi**
but they're all friends I've met
because I starting cycling.
**[20:22] Sakamichi**
So I'll ride as hard as I can!
**[20:27] Sakamichi**
Teshima-san wore himself
down fighting against
**[20:30] Sakamichi**
Manami-kun and sent us his
passionate vibrations.
**[20:37] Sakamichi**
Naruko-kun pursued Hakone
Academy and Kyoto Fushimi,
**[20:41] Sakamichi**
and he clung to the lead pack alone
until we could rejoin him.
**[20:48] Sakamichi**
Kaburagi-kun pushed himself so hard in a
sprint for the first day's first result
**[20:54] Sakamichi**
that he collapsed after he finished.
**[21:00] Sakamichi**
And when Kaburagi-kun stopped
pedaling on the second day,
**[21:05] Sakamichi**
Aoyagi-san went to get him and
brought him back to the team.
**[21:16] Sakamichi**
For all those people!
**[21:18] Sakamichi**
For Team Sohoku, I ride!
**[21:31] Sakamichi**
Just you wait, Imaizumi-kun!
**[21:39] Imaizumi**
Onoda!
**[21:41] Sakamichi**
Let's go to the finish line, Imaizumi-kun!
***SIGN*** Yowamushi Pedal
**[21:50] Sakamichi**

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!

Yeah!

**[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?

I know.

They're doing a staggered start.

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.

You're...
**[06:54] Manami**
Is this your first time

**[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.

**[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.
***SIGN*** Lead Pack
***SIGN*** Lead Pack
**[18:22] Teshima**
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?

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.

A condition?

**[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**
You should be out there
chasing down a big one, too.
***SIGN*** Hiroshima
Kureminami Tech
**[09:28] Urakubo**
We were going to take down those
Sohoku third-years Teshima and Aoyagi.
**[09:35] Niwazuma**
A single mistake can take away
your opportunities in road racing.
**[09:40] Niwazuma**
I can't help that I dropped out of the race.
**[09:42] Niwazuma**
And besides, as Kure's Landshark,
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**
Don't worry, Naruko.
**[14:26] Midousuji**
I'll turn this situation
around before you know it.
***SIGN*** Yowamushi Pedal

**[14:38] (Flashback) Mizuta**
M-Midousuji-kun, what did you just say?
**[14:42] (Flashback) Midousuji**
I said I want everyone to shave
their heads by tomorrow morning.

It seems like you're

**[14:54] (Flashback) Mizuta**
Wait, wait, wait. But we won.
**[14:57] (Flashback) Mizuta**
We won the second day.
**[14:58] (Flashback) Mizuta**
Can't we at least celebrate today—
**[15:03] (Flashback) Yamaguchi**
Midousuji-kun...
**[15:06] (Flashback) Yamaguchi**
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.

**[00:16] 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.
***SIGN*** Certain
***SIGN*** Victory
**[13:29] Teshima & Aoyagi**
Let's deliver this jersey
to the end of this road!
***SIGN*** Yowamushi Pedal
**[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.

Aoyagi!
**[00:09] Yamaguchi**
We'd like to challenge you
to a race, two-against-two.
**[00:14] Yamaguchi**
We won't be competing to see who
crosses the finish line first,
**[00:20] Yamaguchi**
but whose second rider
crosses the bridge first.
**[00:25] Teshima**
Fine. We accept your challenge, Yamaguchi.
**[00:28] Yamaguchi**
I see.

**[02:42] Funatsu**
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.
***SIGN*** Sohoku

**[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**
Stick to me, Junta.
**[06:23] Teshima**
Yeah.

1.5 kilometers to the other side.
**[06:34] Teshima**
I feel like I'm losing
years off my life, but...
**[06:39] Teshima**
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.
**[06:52] Teshima**
Pull ahead of them and race
through to the finish line.
**[06:55] Teshima**
I'll be fine.
**[06:57] Teshima**
I'll keep up, even if it kills me.
**[07:03] Aoyagi**
Got it. You can count on me, Junta.
**[07:08] Aoyagi**
Supersonic Oxygen Human Bullet!
**[07:16] Aoyagi**
The pain's getting worse.
**[07:24] Imaizumi**
Do you feel the tension in the air, Naruko?
**[07:28] Naruko**
Unfortunately, I totally do.
**[07:32] Imaizumi**
They're raring to go.
**[07:37] Imaizumi**
Hakone Academy is showing us kindness,
but it won't last that long.
**[07:45] Imaizumi**
Prepare yourselves.
**[07:46] Imaizumi**
We'll accelerate when they make their move.
**[07:51] Kaburagi**
Damn it!
**[07:53] Kaburagi**
That really was the last time, wasn't it?
**[07:56] Onoda**
Kaburagi-kun...
**[07:57] Kaburagi**
I mean, right?
**[07:59] Kaburagi**
If we're accelerating and they still
haven't caught up yet, then...
**[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
who never did anything, but...
**[08:32] Kaburagi**
Yesterday, I figured it out.
**[08:35] Kaburagi**
When I thought about what I'd
have done in his position...
**[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?

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.

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.

**[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.

Hey!

Junta!
**[03:36] Teshima**
Imaizumi, we don't have time to slow down.
**[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**

**[14:48] Doubashi**
Go on, orange.
**[14:50] Fan B**
There are 500 meters to go!
**[14:52] Fan A**
They're still neck and neck!
**[14:53] Fan C**
Will it be #6 or Hakone Academy?
***SIGN*** 3rd Day
***SIGN*** 3rd Day
***SIGN*** Hakone Academy
**[14:56] Fan B**
Seventy meters left!
**[14:57] Fan A**
They're still not attacking!
**[15:00] Kaburagi**
Pig, after the first day's sprint,
I swore to Aoyagi-san
**[15:07] Kaburagi**
that if I fought you again, I wouldn't lose!
**[15:13] Kaburagi**
So...
**[15:15] Fan B**
Fifty meters to go!
**[15:17] Onoda**
Teshima-san, if Kaburagi-kun goes
alone now, the team will scatter.
**[15:22] Fan B**
Thirty meters to go!
**[15:24] Fan C**
Who's gonna go for the sprint?
**[15:29] Onoda**
What? They're not attacking?
**[15:32] Fan A**
What was that?
**[15:34] Fan B**
Nobody accelerated?
**[15:36] Fan C**
Was it a tie?
**[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.
**[17:14] Naruko**
Kabu!
**[17:15] Imaizumi**
Showoff!
**[17:16] Teshima**
Kaburagi!
**[17:20] Kuroda**
Touichirou, their pressure
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**
We're a team that supports each other.
**[18:29] Kaburagi**
Huh? What?
**[18:31] Naruko**
Kabu, let's swap.
**[18:31] Imaizumi**
Showoff, let's swap.
**[18:31] Onoda**
Kaburagi-kun, let's swap.
**[18:33] Kaburagi**
Naruko-san, Onoda-san, Imaizumi-san!
**[18:37] Naruko**
Is your leg crampin', Kabu?
**[18:37] Imaizumi**
Is your leg cramping, showoff?
**[18:39] Naruko**
Fall back until it's better.
**[18:39] Imaizumi**
Fall back until it's better.
**[18:43] Naruko & Imaizumi**
Don't copy me!
**[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**
He's steeled his resolve.
**[20:08] Imaizumi**
He figured out what his role is.
**[20:10] Imaizumi**
He knows...
**[20:12] Imaizumi**
He'll be leaving the team soon.
**[20:17] Onoda**
Kaburagi-kun!
**[20:19] Onoda**
No.
**[20:20] Onoda**
Shouting about it won't change anything.
**[20:24] Onoda**
The Inter-High is a team race.
***SIGN*** Sohoku High School
Bicycle Racing Club
**[20:27] Onoda**
We drop out one by one to deliver
our last jersey to the finish line.
**[20:32] Onoda**
That's how it goes.
**[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.

**[01:34] Yuuto**
They're catching up.
**[01:39] Doubashi**
There's less than one kilometer
left to the mountains.
**[01:43] Doubashi**
My legs are practically frozen
solid due to the intense pain.
**[01:46] Doubashi**
My body's groaning under the strain.
**[01:48] Doubashi**
But I feel amazing.
**[01:51] Doubashi**
After all, I'm riding at the front
**[01:53] Doubashi**
of the Inter-High while wearing
a Hakone Academy jersey.
**[01:59] Kuroda**
Crap. Touichirou, Doubashi's
lost consciousness.
**[02:05] Kuroda**
Hey, Touichirou!
**[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...
***SIGN*** Hakone Academy Bicycle Racing Club
**[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.

**[09:56] 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
2,172 Meters Above Sea Level
**[15:15] Koga**
On the border between Gunma and
Nagano Prefectures at Shibu Toge Pass,
**[15:19] Koga**
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.

**[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.

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
your question yet...
***SIGN*** Certain
**[18:17] Teshima**
about how I feel.
**[18:19] Teshima**
I should be exhausted, so I wonder why...
**[18:22] Teshima**
It's strange.
**[18:24] Teshima**
I feel strength welling up inside me.
**[18:27] Teshima**
I feel great, too.

two riders have jumped ahead.

One is Sohoku High School third-year

**[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.

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.
***SIGN*** Road Race Distance to Mountain Line 3km Remaining

Why don't we race the remaining three
kilometers to the mountain result line?
**[23:06] Ashikiba**
The mountain result line...
**[23:08] Teshima**
Don't you think it's fitting
for a race between us?
**[23:12] Teshima**
It's just like it was then...
**[23:15] Teshima**
when we raced in middle
school on the same team.

Let me pull.

Takuto...
**[00:13] Ashikiba**
I was trying to stay calm, but after
seeing Jun-chan ride like that,
**[00:18] Ashikiba**
I can't contain it anymore.
**[00:23] Ashikiba**
Let's race, Jun-chan.
**[00:25] Teshima**
Shikiba...
**[00:27] Teshima**
I'm getting to race against you?
**[00:31] Teshima**
Bicycle racing is fantastic.
**[00:34] Teshima**
We're at the front of the Inter-High.

**[02:33] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
I'm Ashikiba Takuto.
**[02:35] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
I lived in Hokkaido before this.
**[02:37] (Flashback) Girl A**
He's so tall.
**[02:39] (Flashback) Girl B**
Yeah.
**[02:40] (Flashback) Girl C**
Is Hokkaido as cold as they say?
**[02:43] (Flashback) Girl D**
Where did you live? Sapporo? Hakodate?
**[02:46] (Flashback) Girl E**
Did your family have cows?
**[02:48] (Flashback) Boy A**
Is Hokkaido really that remarkable?
**[02:52] (Flashback) Boy B**
It's just cold.
**[02:54] (Flashback) Girl F**
Ashikiba-kun, your hands are so big.
**[02:57] (Flashback) Girl F**
Did you play any instruments?
**[02:59] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
Yeah, piano.
**[03:02] (Flashback) Girl H**
Wow, play for us sometime.
**[03:04] (Flashback) Boy A**
How hard is he gonna try to win the girls over?
**[03:11] Teshima**
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.
**[03:43] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
Each and every sound reverberates.
**[03:47] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
See? Can't you feel the rhythm building?
**[03:50] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
It makes my body sway.
**[03:52] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
And allowing my body to be moved by that
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**
For real?
**[04:17] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
Wow...
**[04:20] (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**
What?
**[04:36] (Flashback) Teshima**
I ride about a hundred
kilometers on weekends.
**[04:38] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
A hundred kilometers on a bike?
**[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,
but before long he became a competent rider.
**[05:58] Teshima**
We entered middle school and joined
the bicycle racing club together.

**[06:04] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
Okay.
**[06:06] (Flashback) Senpai B**
AshiTeshi are pretty good for first-years.
**[06:09] (Flashback) Senpai C**
AshiTeshi?
**[06:10] (Flashback) Senpai B**
They're inseparable, you know? So...
**[06:14] (Flashback) Senpai B**
Ashikiba plus Teshima makes AshiTeshi.
**[06:17] (Flashback) Higashido**
Man, they're fast.
**[06:19] (Flashback) Senpai B**
Don't be a wimp.
**[06:21] (Flashback) Senpai A**
Keep working at it, Higashido.
**[06:23] (Flashback) Senpai A**
You're a first-year, too.
**[06:26] (Flashback) Higashido**
Yes, sir. I'll strive to
achieve AshiTeshiHiga.
**[06:30] (Flashback) Both**
That sounds awful.
**[06:33] Teshima**
We were all right in practice,
but in races, we got buried.
**[06:41] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
Those three were really fast.
**[06:44] (Flashback) Teshima**
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.

**[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**

**[08:33] (Flashback) Ashikiba**

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**

**[11:26] (Flashback) Ashikiba**
I can feel your competitive spirit.
**[11:30] (Flashback) Teshima**
I told you, today you're going

**[11:34] (Flashback) Teshima**
Leave it to me. I'll make sure you win it.

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

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,

What the hell was today's race?
**[13:32] (Flashback) Teshima**
We took our time reaching the finish

**[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.

**[14:37] (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!

This is our last race.
***SIGN*** Ashikiba Takuto
**[00:18] Ashikiba**
Starting in fifth grade,
I spent five years in Chiba.
**[00:23] Ashikiba**
I rode for three years at
a high school in Kanagawa.
**[00:28] Ashikiba**
Now I'm putting it all on the
line in this all-out contest.
**[00:30] Ashikiba**
All eight of those years, Jun-chan!
**[00:40] Fan**
Look! It's Ashikiba's Metronome Dancing!
**[00:43] Fan**
He's so fast!
**[00:44] Fan**
He's catching up to Sohoku
right before our eyes!
**[00:46] Fan**
He caught up in an instant!
**[00:49] Ashikiba**
Jun-chan!
**[00:50] Teshima**
Shikiba!
**[00:51] Ashikiba**
I'm going to pass you. I've grown.
**[00:55] Ashikiba**
See how I've grown!
**[00:57] Teshima**
I won't let you pass me that easily!
**[01:03] Teshima**
You stopped my block!
**[01:05] Ashikiba**
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.

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**

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

**[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

**[13:42] Makishima**
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
Mountain Line
**[16:09] Ashikiba**
than when you're riding for yourself.
**[16:18] Makishima**
It's through struggle and repeated effort
that hard work becomes talent.
***SIGN*** Road Race Distance to Mountain Line 250m Remaining
**[16:28] Fan**
There are 250 meters to the mountain line!
**[16:38] Onoda**
You can hear the spectators'
cheers on the wind.
**[16:41] Imaizumi**
Yeah.
**[16:44] Naruko**
You're right. Not only that,
**[16:46] Naruko**
but they're comin' from right
around the mountain line gate.
**[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
with Hakone Academy's ace.
**[17:04] Naruko**
Judgin' by their cheers,
it must be a close race.
**[17:07] Naruko**
Our Perm-senpai must be
really puttin' on a show.
**[17:16] Kuroda**
What's with these guys?
**[17:18] Kuroda**
What is this rising pressure?
**[17:23] Kuroda**
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?
**[17:51] Kuroda**
Team Sohoku is unbelievable.
**[17:55] Onoda**
We're counting on you!
**[17:56] Imaizumi**
This is the end.
**[17:58] Naruko**
Go out with a bang!
**[18:01] All**
Captain!
**[18:05] Teshima**
Imaizumi, Naruko, Onoda...
**[18:09] Teshima**
Thank you for believing
in me and sending me then.
**[18:14] Teshima**
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!
**[19:25] Teshima**
I am none other than
**[19:30] Teshima**
Sohoku's captain, Teshima Junta!
**[19:35] Teshima**
Shikiba, it's the last 200 meters!
**[19:39] Teshima**
Let's become King of the Mountains!
**[19:54] Fan**
Wow!
**[19:55] Fan**
They're accelerating at full
speed into the mountain line!
**[19:58] Fan**
They're bumping shoulders!
**[20:00] Fan**
Neither one is yielding any ground!
**[20:02] Teshima**
Shikiba!
**[20:03] Ashikiba**
Jun-chan!
**[20:05] Teshima**
I can see the mountain line
right in front of us!
**[20:08] Fan**
They've got 100 meters to go!
***SIGN*** Day 3
Mountain Line
**[20:11] Ashikiba**
100 meters...
**[20:13] Ashikiba**
Jun-chan, I'm glad we made it here together.
**[20:18] Ashikiba**
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.

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

That'll work!

Sort of. Mom, we're not going

Oh.
**[03:28] (Flashback) Mom**
I'm sorry.
**[03:29] (Flashback) Mom**
I know it's last minute again,

But you're always doing things for me.

You're an incredible guy.
Don't worry about it.

Be more confident in yourself.

Before it's over, let's shake hands.
**[05:36] (Flashback) Teshima**
What? Over?
**[05:38] (Flashback) Ashikiba**

**[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.

**[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?*

*My bicycle...*

*If he keeps riding, then someday...*

That's right.

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...

**[13:15] Teshima**
It's you, Shikiba.
**[13:19] Teshima**
I was overjoyed.
**[13:25] Teshima**
I was glad that you still liked bikes,
**[13:27] Teshima**
and you kept riding even after
you moved to Kanagawa.
**[13:33] Teshima**

**[13:46] Ashikiba**
Yeah, Jun-chan.
**[13:50] Teshima**
Let's ride at full power to
the other side of that gate.

***SIGN*** Yowamushi Pedal
**[14:14] Teshima**
This is brutal.
**[14:16] Teshima**
The palms of my hands have gone numb.
**[14:18] Teshima**
I can't even tell if I'm
holding my handlebars.
**[14:22] Teshima**
My legs are numb, too.
**[14:24] Teshima**
I'm beyond feeling pain. They feel like lead.
**[14:27] Teshima**
But my brain is commanding me
to advance, to face forward.
**[14:32] Ashikiba**
Go, go, go.
**[14:35] Ashikiba**
My whole body's so tense, I feel
like it's all going to cramp up.
**[14:38] Ashikiba**
Go, go, go! Raise your head!
**[14:42] Both**
To the finish line in front us!
**[14:45] Teshima**
Forward!

Take it. Seize it, Teshima Junta!
**[15:06] Teshima**
Don't stop pedaling.
**[15:09] Teshima**
You don't need to leave anything in the tank.
**[15:13] Teshima**
Fight, fight, fight!
**[15:15] Teshima**
Keep fighting, Teshima Junta!
**[15:18] Ashikiba**
I can't have any regrets after this fight.
**[15:21] Ashikiba**
Give it all. Give everything. All of it!
**[15:24] Ashikiba**
It's right there.
**[15:26] Ashikiba**
With all my body and soul, I'll take it!
**[15:28] Teshima**

It's been decided.

Wow.
**[17:23] Teshima**
The sky's never looked so blue.
**[17:32] Teshima**
Did I just win a colored
number tag at the Inter-High?
**[17:36] Teshima**
You're kidding, right?
**[17:40] Teshima**
How truly fantastic.
**[17:42] Teshima**
There's no telling what
will happen on bicycles.
**[17:49] Ashikiba**
Jun-chan...
**[17:51] Ashikiba**
*We* won the King of the Mountains.
**[17:57] Ashikiba**
We won it together.
**[18:01] Teshima**
Shikiba...
**[18:04] Ashikiba**
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

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.

Yes, sir. I know.
**[21:48] Kuroda**

**[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

**[21:59] Naruko**
They raised their pace when they

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.

**[03:30] Sakamichi**

**[03:40] Naruko**
Yeah, that's it. I've been lookin' forward

**[03:48] Naruko**
My answer is no!

He's fast. He reacted
instantly and caught up.

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.

That's what you call...

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.
**[08:11] Imaizumi**
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**
Not yet, Kuroda-san.
**[10:58] Manami**
It'd be a waste to raise my focus now.
**[11:04] Kuroda**
Manami Sangaku?
**[11:07] Manami**
Can't you feel it?
**[11:09] Manami**
This race is going to get even crazier.
***SIGN*** Mountain Line
**[11:14] Fan K**
That mountain race was incredible.
**[11:17] Fan L**
Yeah, I could feel their passion.
**[11:20] Fan K**
The next six guys will be
competing for the finish line.
**[11:24] Fan L**
Yeah. No, wait.
**[11:26] Fan L**
Someone else is coming.
**[11:28] Fan K**
Huh?
**[11:30] Fan K**
You're right. He's just
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
the second day's overall winner.
**[11:53] Fan K**
It's Kyoto Fushimi!
**[11:54] Fan L**
That's #111, their ace Midousuji Akira,
and Kishigami Komari,
**[11:58] Fan L**
the rider who finished second in
yesterday's sprint after being subbed in.
**[12:11] Fan L**
Wh-What was that?
**[12:13] Fan K**
He was exuding so much pressure as
he passed us that he looked huge.
**[12:17] Fan L**
He's a monster.
**[12:23] Midousuji**
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.
**[12:53] Komari**
I've already forgotten where.
**[12:56] Komari**
He hasn't been with us
for quite some time now.

You can't be serious.
**[13:17] Ashikiba**
I thought they'd completely fallen behind.
**[13:23] Midousuji**
Ah, there you are.
**[13:26] Midousuji**
I found you, Hakone Academy's ace!
**[13:32] Ashikiba**
He caught up so quickly!
**[13:35] Midousuji**
What's wrong? Your legs seem exhausted.
**[13:38] Midousuji**
You're riding all the way back
here all alone, Ashikiba-kun.
**[13:44] Midousuji**
Could it be that you challenged
Sohoku's skinny seaweed head,
**[13:49] Midousuji**
who I saw lying on the ground back there,
to a pointless mountain race?
**[13:57] Ashikiba**
It wasn't pointless, Midousuji!
**[14:01] Midousuji**
So valiant!
**[14:03] Midousuji**
What are you screaming wide-eyed at me for?
**[14:07] Midousuji**
Friendship? Pride?
Values you won't compromise on?
**[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.
**[15:39] Midousuji**
So scary.
**[15:42] Midousuji**
I was hoping we could have a nice long chat
**[15:47] Midousuji**
about your awesome victory at
the second day's mountain line,
**[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**
Damn. He's fast!
**[16:18] Ashikiba**
But I won't let him go.
**[16:24] Ashikiba**
Wait!
**[16:35] Komari**
The flesh of Hakone Academy's ace...
**[16:38] Komari**
I wish I could've touched it 15 minutes ago.
**[16:41] Komari**
It could be worse,
**[16:43] Komari**
but your parched and used-up flesh
doesn't inspire me to make any noise.
**[16:47] Midousuji**
You really have no restraint, do you?
**[16:52] Komari**
Let's go, Midousuji-san.
**[17:04] Kuroda**
Is that what you meant when you said
the race would get crazier, Manami?
**[17:09] Manami**
Yes, that's right, Kuroda-san.
**[17:16] Yuuto**
What is this strange feeling
coming from behind us?
**[17:25] Imaizumi**
Someone's coming.
**[17:33] Kuroda**
Damn! Kyoto Fushimi caught up
at the end of the race...
**[17:38] Kuroda**
On this mountain road running up
a volcano over 1,800 meters high,
**[17:44] Kuroda**
zigzagging across a field to the finish line
at the highest point on the national route
**[17:49] Kuroda**
with only ten kilometers remaining!
***SIGN*** Road Race

**[17:54] Midousuji**
Now then...
**[17:56] Midousuji**
Who should I crush first,
the house fly or the sand fly?
**[18:06] Manami**
On the third and final day
of his second Inter-High,
**[18:10] Manami**
Midousuji-kun caught up
in the final mountains.
**[18:15] Manami**
There are now eight of us in the lead,
**[18:17] Manami**
which can only mean one thing.
**[18:20] Manami**
One of us will win.
**[18:23] Manami**
One of us will become the overall
champion of this year's Inter-High.
**[18:31] Midousuji**
Gross!
**[18:34] Kuroda**
Damn it! Those are the eyes of
a man going for the finish line.
**[18:38] Kuroda**
I thought you were happy to drop back
after the second day's victory, Midousuji.
**[18:44] Midousuji**
So gross!
**[18:49] Midousuji**
I caught up with ten kilometers
to go, Hakone Academy.
**[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.

You're always most dependable when
you've got that look in your eyes.

Well, they call me the Peak Hornet.

You're fast.

That was your maximum acceleration.

Well, we are in the final stages of the race.
**[04:09] Midousuji**
So you're driven by your hopes

I've been wanting to race in

**[04:22] Yuuto**
Of course, now—

Now!

Now that's changed a little.

So cool...

Your composed manner of speaking,

**[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**

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.

**[11:07] (Flashback) Kaneyan**
Congratulations, Yuuto.
**[11:09] (Flashback) Kaneyan**
You're the sixth member of
the Inter-High team, #16.
**[11:13] (Flashback) Shinosan**
Good luck.
**[11:14] (Flashback) Yuuto**
Thank you.
**[11:15] (Flashback) Kaneyan**
Pretty impressive for a first-year.
**[11:18] (Flashback) Shinosan**
Yeah.
**[11:18] (Flashback) Yuuto**
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!

**[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!

Of course I am. I'm racin'

You're really gettin' on board with it.

You mean the train, or your joke?

We've never spoken much before.

Of course we didn't.

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,
**[15:23] (Flashback) Kuroda**
before he reaches the finish line...
**[15:26] (Flashback) Kuroda**
he'll drop out.
***SIGN*** Yowamushi Pedal
**[15:38] Onoda**
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**
of returns!
**[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
kilometers, we'll finish first.
**[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.

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?
**[21:47] Imaizumi**
When we cross the finish line.
**[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
remainin' kilometers?
**[22:22] Imaizumi**
Yeah, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.
**[22:24] Onoda**
Imaizumi-kun?
**[22:26] Onoda**
Let's take turns instead.
**[22:32] Naruko**
Our three-way finish is approachin'.
**[22:37] Naruko**
But there are still seven kilometers to go.
**[22:42] Naruko**
I might not have enough left in the tank.
**[22:45] Naruko**
Hotshot, Onoda-kun...

I'm just happy I got to dream about it now.

Will they hold their lead?
**[22:58] Fan K**
Seriously?
**[23:01] Imaizumi**
Naruko, Onoda, the flats are ending.

We're entering the downhill.

Try not to fall behind.

Imaizumi-kun!
**[00:04] Imaizumi**
Yeah, I see him. Honestly, I'm surprised.
**[00:09] Imaizumi**
It's not a blue jersey or a purple one.
**[00:14] Imaizumi**
It's hard to believe, but it's
our team's yellow jersey.
**[00:22] Naruko**
The flashy genius of Naniwa is
finally here, Onoda-kun and hotshot.
**[00:27] Naruko**
I, Naruko Shoukichi, have finally

**[00:36] Onoda**
Naruko-kun!

Naruko.
**[00:39] Imaizumi**
I'm glad you made it back.
**[00:41] Naruko**
You surprised, hotshot?
**[00:43] Naruko**
Does my flashiness make you dizzy?
**[00:46] Onoda**
But, um, I really, um...
**[00:50] Onoda**
Thank you, Naruko-kun.
**[00:53] Imaizumi**
What are you thanking him for?
**[00:55] Naruko**
Don't say that!
**[00:57] Onoda**
It must've been really hard.
**[01:01] Onoda**
Your back...

Even your number tag is soaked with sweat.

I might not have enough left in the tank.

Hotshot, Onoda-kun.

**[03:44] Naruko**
Onoda-kun, it's a downhill. We'll gain speed.
**[03:47] Naruko**
Stick close so you don't fall behind.
**[03:50] Sakamichi**
Okay!
**[03:53] Naruko**
That's a nice determined response.
**[03:55] Naruko**
I'll have to do my best to stick close, too.
**[03:59] Naruko**
My field of view's been shrinkin'
because I'm not gettin' enough oxygen.
**[04:07] Manami**
Now, then...
**[04:08] Manami**
What shall we do, Kuroda-san?
**[04:11] Kuroda**
Don't worry. We'll catch up
on the downhill up ahead.
**[04:15] Kuroda**
You just wait, Sohoku.
**[04:27] Naruko**
Crap.
**[04:28] Naruko**
I'm havin' trouble finding the
correct angle on the turns.
**[04:32] Naruko**
I'm practically enterin'
them on instinct alone.
**[04:36] Naruko**
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.
**[04:49] Naruko**
I can't them, damn it.
**[04:51] Naruko**
I was just enjoyin' the
scenery since it's so pretty.
**[04:55] Naruko**
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
**[05:19] Imaizumi**
at full speed so they can
knock us out of position.
**[05:21] Sakamichi**
There are riders behind us!
**[05:23] Naruko**
I know that, you jerk.
**[05:26] Imaizumi**
Road racing is an equipment-based sport.
**[05:29] Imaizumi**
You can blame your loss on equipment issues,
but whoever finishes first wins.
**[05:33] Imaizumi**
We're battling against the terrain, too.

**[05:36] Imaizumi**
After this downhill, there's a steep climb.
**[05:41] Imaizumi**
We're trying to stay ahead, and the
guys behind us are trying to catch up.
**[05:45] Imaizumi**
The slightly less than seven kilometers
remaining may seem short, but they're not.
**[05:49] Imaizumi**
You can't assume things will go as expected.
**[05:52] Imaizumi**
That's why you need to carefully and
consistently get the details right.
**[05:58] Imaizumi**
All of us do.
**[06:04] Naruko**
You're exactly right, hotshot.
**[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.
**[06:13] Naruko**
Opportunities are only born from bold moves.
**[06:18] Sakamichi**
Bold moves...
**[06:21] Imaizumi**
You're right.
**[06:23] Imaizumi**
Sounds like you really do know
what you're doing, Naruko.
**[06:26] Naruko**
Of course I do.
**[06:28] Naruko**
Sometimes a man's gotta be bold.
**[06:32] Naruko**
And flashy.
**[06:37] Imaizumi**
Let's go. Don't let your guard down.
**[06:42] Imaizumi**
And let's raise our pace a little more.
**[06:44] Imaizumi**
We'll create a decisive lead
over the riders behind us.
**[06:47] Imaizumi**
We'll do our best to stay out
of reach until the finish line.
**[06:51] Sakamichi**
Got it.
**[06:51] Naruko**
Sure thing. That'd be supremely flashy.

No!
**[08:16] Aoyagi**
Yeah, sorry. Our idiot's making
all that noise by himself.
**[08:22] Doubashi**
You're not going to make
any noise, Aoyagi-san?
**[08:25] Aoyagi**
It's incredible. I'm thrilled after
hearing the announcement, too.
**[08:30] Doubashi**
What? That's what "thrilled" looks like?
**[08:33] Doubashi**
Does this guy barely react to things?
**[08:36] Aoyagi**
But we won't know for certain
until the race is over.
**[08:40] Aoyagi**
Favorable situations are
frequently turned around.
**[08:44] Aoyagi**
But if I could talk to them now,
**[08:49] Aoyagi**
I'd praise them.
**[08:50] Aoyagi**
I'd tell them they did a good job.
**[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**

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

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

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.

as though groping around

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.

A teammate slipped? A friend is in trouble?

Who turns around out of
concern during a race?

Haven't I told you again and again...

that friendship should be the
first thing you throw away?

**[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.

200 meters behind.
**[00:07] Sakamichi**
Imaizumi-kun, I'll go after him.
**[00:09] Imaizumi**
No, wait. I'll—No.

**[01:01] Naruko**
You can count on me. I'll pull.
**[01:05] Naruko**
Hop on, Onoda-kun. I guess
you can come, too, hotshot.
**[01:09] Naruko**
This is the Naruko train's
super-flashy final trip.
**[01:17] Sakamichi**
Naruko-kun just called it his final trip.
**[01:21] Imaizumi**
We're counting on you, Naruko.
**[01:24] Naruko**
We'll catch up to them easily!
**[01:26] Naruko**
Here we go! Don't fall behind!
**[01:30] Naruko**
The Naruko Super Express
is movin' at full speed!
***SIGN*** Yowamushi Pedal
***SIGN*** The Naruko Super Express!!
**[03:07] Fan A**
Sohoku's accelerating at full speed!
**[03:09] Fan B**
Naruko, their #3, is in front!
**[03:11] Fan C**
They're on a climb, but he's so fast!
**[03:13] Imaizumi**
Naruko's so fast!
**[03:16] Fan A**
He's tearing up the hill!
**[03:17] Fan B**
Wow, Sohoku! Go!
**[03:21] Imaizumi**
Naruko...
**[03:22] Naruko**
Don't be so worried, Onoda-kun.
You, too, hotshot.
**[03:28] Naruko**
Your sadness will start
affecting me, Onoda-kun.
**[03:33] Naruko**
I'm the genius Naruko Shoukichi.
**[03:35] Naruko**
Don't worry. You can count on me.
**[03:38] Naruko**
We're movin' slower than
we were on that downhill.
**[03:42] Naruko**
My vision's still limited, but I can
see what's in front of me.
**[03:44] Naruko**
I see you.
**[03:47] Naruko**
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!

I'm glad we got here just before

You cut it too close.
**[20:51] Makishima**
I thought we'd be stuck cheering
from up there until the end.
**[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**
Huh?
**[22:37] Tadokoro**
What is it, Kinjou?
**[22:40] Kinjou**
I saw someone I know from college.
**[22:42] Tadokoro**
College?
**[22:44] Kinjou**
Hey, are you going to the finish line?
**[22:46] Kinjou**

So you came.
**[02:51] Arakita**
Huh? Yeah. I didn't have anything else to do.
**[02:56] Arakita**
Actually, I got an itch to come.
**[02:59] Arakita**
Toudou kept texting me, too.
**[03:02] Arakita**
I followed the updates on

**[03:06] Arakita**
But I got here late, and the bus

I'm sure your juniors on the Hakone Academy

**[03:15] Arakita**

**[03:27] Makishima**

**[03:30] Arakita**
I'll let Toudou know. He was
screaming about something.

**[03:38] Arakita**
You guys already met up
last night and went for a ride?
**[03:48] Tadokoro**
I see it, Kinjou. It's the goal gate.
**[03:52] Kinjou**
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**
You groaned and gasped in surprise.
**[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**
In that case, shall we go?
**[05:28] Midousuji**
Either way, the only way to win
**[05:31] Midousuji**
is to either outsmart you or
pull ahead by brute force.
**[05:37] Midousuji**
Gross!
**[05:40] Midousuji**
Gross!
**[05:44] 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**

**[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**

**[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!

**[00:04] Sakamichi**
I bounced.
**[00:05] Sakamichi**
There was a bump in the puddle.
I didn't notice!
**[00:14] Sakamichi**
Oh, no!
**[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,

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.

**[00:09] Sakamichi**
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**
What is this pressure?
**[02:35] Sakamichi**
Something's coming from behind us.

They're gonna place first at the Inter-High.

**[04:58] Aya**
I play tennis pretty seriously, so I understand
the weight the Inter-High carries.
**[05:03] Miki**
Yeah.
**[05:04] Aya**
We're talking about first place.
That's a pretty huge deal.
**[05:07] Miki**
Yeah.
**[05:08] Aya**
Oh, no. I'm already tearing up.

It's not certain yet, but they're
finishing first and second
**[05:32] Sugimoto**
after all the difficulties they faced
yesterday and the day before.
**[05:36] Sugimoto**
They finished second yesterday,
and today they...
**[05:40] Sugimoto**
Imaizumi...
**[05:44] Sugimoto**
Please, Onoda.
**[05:45] Sugimoto**
If you two make it here together,
**[05:50] Sugimoto**
give him the push he needs.
**[05:52] Sugimoto**

**[05:56] Danchiku**
Wow, there could be a one-two finish...
**[05:59] Gorizo**

**[06:02] Danchiku**
The team you joined really is amazing, Issa.
**[06:06] Danchiku**
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**

nothing happens.

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...

so he could rest behind me.

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**

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**

**[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.

**[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.

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

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
will be our starting line.

**[20:46] Fan H**
They're both accelerating!

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.

**[21:18] Manami**
Go!

They sped by!
**[21:25] Fan**
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.

Ever since that day...
**[23:14] Sakamichi**
We met in early spring...

**[00:01] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
Wow, look at the sea.
**[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.

**[03:36] (Flashback) Naruko**
Oh, damn! Jellyfish! Look at 'em!
**[03:39] (Flashback) Naruko**
The way they move is so strange!
**[03:40] (Flashback) Naruko**
I could watch them for hours.
**[03:42] (Flashback) Naruko**
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,*

**[04:27] Sakamichi**
*I couldn't do anything today.*

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**

**[05:56] (Flashback) Sakamichi**

**[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**

**[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**

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!

**[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.
**[17:11] Sakamichi**
But...
***SIGN*** Inter-High Road Race

*The third day will begin shortly.*
**[17:17] (Flashback) Teshima**
Today's finish line is at the top of a
mountain at 2,000 meters of elevation.
**[17:21] (Flashback) Teshima**
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.
**[17:30] (Flashback) Teshima**
Your limbs will go numb,
and you'll have trouble breathing.
**[17:35] (Flashback) Teshima**
If you find yourself in a difficult situation,
say this out loud.
**[17:39] (Flashback) Teshima**
It'll make it easier.
**[17:41] (Flashback) Teshima**
"We're in the same boat."
**[17:44] (Flashback) Teshima**
Don't be fooled by the pain.
**[17:46] (Flashback) Teshima**
Everyone's riding under
the same circumstances.
**[17:49] (Flashback) Teshima**
Don't look at your speedometer.
**[17:51] (Flashback) Teshima**
Don't compare yourself to
your normal performance.
**[17:53] (Flashback) Teshima**
Look only forward and let your
emotions take over your body.
**[17:56] (Flashback) Teshima**
Rely only on your instincts and ride.
**[18:01] (Flashback) Teshima**
I know you can do it.
**[18:03] (Flashback) Teshima**
I know you can do it.
**[18:05] Sakamichi**
We're in the same boat.
**[18:09] Sakamichi**
Don't look at your speedometer.
**[18:11] Sakamichi**
Don't compare yourself to
your normal performance.
**[18:13] Sakamichi**
Listen to your feelings.
**[18:15] Sakamichi**
I want to catch up to Manami-kun.
**[18:19] Sakamichi**
Raise your cadence.
**[18:21] Sakamichi**
I want to catch up.
**[18:22] Sakamichi**
I want to pass him.
**[18:25] Fan**
Sohoku zipped past Hakone Academy!
**[18:27] Fan**
It's the Mountain King's high-cadence climb!
**[18:30] Manami**
He's in front of me?
**[18:32] Sakamichi**
I'm having an easier time turning my legs.
**[18:36] Sakamichi**
Thank you,
**[18:38] Sakamichi**
Teshima-san.
**[18:40] Fan**
Sohoku's in the lead!
**[18:42] Fan**
They've got 1.5 kilometers
left to the finish line!
***SIGN*** Road Race Distance Remaining
**[18:46] Sakamichi**
I passed him. I passed Manami-kun.
**[18:49] Sakamichi**
My excitement is increasing.
**[18:51] Sakamichi**
The finish line is getting closer.
**[18:55] Manami**
He passed me again.
**[18:58] Manami**
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
final day of the Inter-High
**[21:00] Manami**
so you can take your team's
jersey to the finish line.
**[21:06] Sakamichi**
Imaizumi-kun, Naruko-kun, Teshima-san,
Kaburagi-kun, Aoyagi-san...
**[21:12] Sakamichi**
Koga-san, Kanzaki-san, Sugimoto-kun,
and the first-years...
**[21:18] Sakamichi**
I'll take this jersey to the finish line.
***SIGN*** Inter-High Road Race
**[21:26] Manami**
Incredible. I could never do that.
**[21:29] Manami**
But that's fine. Everyone rides differently.
**[21:34] Manami**
I can't ride your way.
**[21:36] Manami**
But you can't copy my style, either.
**[21:40] Manami**
Right, Kuroda-san?
**[21:43] (Flashback) Kuroda**
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.

Manami, hang tight.
**[00:03] Kuroda**
I told you. I'll pull until

**[00:08] Kuroda**
Right now your job is to wait.
**[00:12] Kuroda**

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

**[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

**[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.
***SIGN*** Yowamushi Pedal
**[15:59] Fan D**
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!
**[16:42] (Flashback) Imaizumi**
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!

**[00:06] 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.
**[05:13] Class Rep**
Oh, there!

Oh, my. This thing has a camera?
**[05:21] Sakamichi Mom**
These smooth phones are amazing.
**[05:23] Class Rep**
"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
**[13:57] (Flashback) Toudou**
Not only that, but he was our final rider.
**[14:00] (Flashback) Toudou**
And it's not a burden he could carry
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...
**[14:21] (Flashback) Class Rep**
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!

They're 700 meters from the finish line!
**[00:05] Fan B**
The Mountain King caught up
to Hakone Academy!
**[00:07] Fan C**
It's a clash between the historical
champs and last year's champs!
**[00:16] Fan A**
The Mountain King's moving up!
**[00:19] Fan B**
Hakone Academy is forcing his way inside!
**[00:22] Fan B**
He bumped into him!
**[00:23] Fan C**
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!
**[00:32] Sakamichi**
I'll take our jersey there!

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.

**[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

**[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,

**[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

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.

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**

**[13:39] Fan O**

Hakone Academy's Manami!

You got me. I thought the

**[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

Sounds like you.
You intrigue me, Sakamichi-kun.

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.

Such power!
**[19:45] Fan 1**
This year's Hakone Academy is
serious about getting revenge!
**[19:49] Fan 2**
The difference in gears equates
to a difference in speed!
**[19:52] Fan 2**
Now that the change in grade is over,
Manami's one bike's length ahead!
**[19:57] Manami**
Keep it up.
**[19:59] Manami**
I just have to pedal
100 meters to the finish line.
**[20:07] Sakamichi**
There's a gap.
**[20:09] Sakamichi**
It's small, but it's huge here.
**[20:13] Sakamichi**
Everything hurts, but I'm not
giving up yet, Manami-kun!
**[20:24] Manami**
Sakamichi-kun, we're almost there.
**[20:28] Manami**
Soon, our battle will be over.
**[20:31] Fan 3**
100 meters to the finish line!
**[20:39] Fan 4**
They've entered sprinting posture!
**[20:41] Fan 5**
They're sprinting all out to the finish line!
**[20:47] Manami**
I'll break away.
**[20:49] Manami**
I'll break away.
**[20:51] Manami**
I'll push him aside.
**[20:57] Sakamichi**
I feel like my heart's going to explode.
**[21:00] Sakamichi**
My back hurts. My entire body hurts.
**[21:04] Sakamichi**
I feel like my bones and
muscles are going to shatter.
**[21:08] Sakamichi**
Everything hurts.
**[21:10] Sakamichi**
It's strange, though. It's an odd sensation.
**[21:14] Sakamichi**
Logically, I know...
**[21:18] Sakamichi**
My teammates have already fulfilled
their purpose and are behind me.
**[21:23] Sakamichi**
I know that, so what is this?

"Finish strong."
**[21:42] Sakamichi**
"We're right here."

I feel like they're up there cheering me on.
**[21:50] Sakamichi**
Yeah!

**[22:05] Koga**
Are you watching, Junta?
**[22:08] Koga**
Before the race he was repeatedly asked
if he'd claim the final finish line.
**[22:15] Koga**
And every time, he told them no.
**[22:19] Koga**
One of the juniors you trusted with the race
**[22:21] Koga**
after you gave up everything is currently...
**[22:25] Koga**
carrying on that will as
he sprints to the finish.
**[22:31] Koga**
Onoda, how would you respond if you
were asked about your confidence now?
**[22:39] Koga**
I don't even need to ask.
**[22:41] Koga**
Every time you're trusted with our
team's jersey, your expression changes.
**[22:45] Koga**
You're a strange man.
**[22:48] Koga**
You become stronger every time
you're asked to do something.

This is first-aid station #4.
**[03:44] Official A**
I've confirmed rider #5, Teshima,
is dropping out of the race.
**[03:49] Official A**
Yes, that's correct.
**[03:51] Official A**
Since he won't be finishing,
he'll forfeit the mountain tag.
**[03:56] Official A**
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
the mountain result title
**[04:29] Teshima**
and trust all three of
you with the finish line.
**[04:33] Teshima**
I didn't hesitate for a second,
Onoda. I wonder why.
**[04:39] Teshima**
Do I believe in miracles? Of course I do.
**[04:45] Teshima**
I'm not naturally talented.
I've always done things this way.
**[04:50] Teshima**
I believe...
**[04:56] Teshima**
in the strength of my teammates.
**[05:09] Announce**
The first rider across the finish line
on the third day of the Inter-High

I'll be cheering for
Hakone Academy again next year!
**[05:57] Fan C**
Good race!
**[06:00] Manami**
I had no idea so many people

**[06:05] Sakamichi**
Yeah. They're cheering so loud.

**[06:39] Sakamichi**
This might sound weird, but...
**[06:42] Sakamichi**
Thank you, Manami-kun.
**[06:45] Manami**
What? You're thanking me?
**[06:49] Manami**
I'm super disappointed right now.
**[06:52] Sakamichi**
Oh, right. S-So—
**[06:56] Manami**
But...
**[06:58] Manami**
I went all out. I gave everything I could.
**[07:03] Manami**
You just wanted it a little more.
**[07:07] Manami**
I don't have regrets this time.
**[07:09] Sakamichi**
Manami-kun...
**[07:12] Manami**
This year, I'm not thinking about
what I could've done differently.
**[07:17] Manami**
My mind is clear, like that sky.

The sky?
**[07:24] Sakamichi**
Manami-kun...
**[07:27] Manami**
Sakamichi-kun...
**[07:30] Manami**
Anyway, racing at the very end of the
final stage was too much pressure.
**[07:38] Manami**
If we both get to ride in
the Inter-High next year...
**[07:43] Sakamichi**
Yeah.
**[07:46] Manami**
Let's race for the first day's

**[07:49] Sakamichi**
Yeah.

or Hakone Academy third-year Kuroda

away from us at the end again.
**[09:44] Announce**

**[09:47] Announce**
In third place is Hakone

He casually zips up his jersey
as he crosses the finish line!
**[09:54] Kuroda**

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.

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**

are the only members of Team

I've been wanting to see

ever since that day I gave you those shoes.
**[12:59] Teshima**
But I never imagined you'd

**[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.

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."

Ashikiba won the mountains yesterday, too.

In other words, he won it two days in a row.

He won two tags in a row, too.
**[15:44] Fan D**
What?

#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**

**[17:25] Izumida**
I'll praise you once we're back at our tent.

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.
**[21:56] Imaizumi**
I disagree.
**[21:59] Teshima**
Let's do it together.
**[22:01] All**
Ready, and...
