[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! SIGN    Yowamushi Pedal SIGN    Yowamushi Pedal SIGN    LINE.12 Fallen Hopes [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? SIGN    4000m to Road Race Second Day Sprint Line [16:59] Fan     You can do it! [17:00] Fan     You'll win this year! [17:03] Midousuji     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!
