[00:33] Fan A     Huh? Who's the last guy? [00:35] Fan C     It's a first-year. [00:38] Fan C     Kaburagi Issa of Kanamegawa Middle School. [00:41] Fan A     Kaburagi? I've never heard of him. [00:45] Fan D     But if he's a regular as a first-year... [00:47] Fan B     Then he must be pretty strong. [00:49] Kaburagi     Crap. I'm nervous. [00:54] Kaburagi     Your habits are rubbing off on me, Danchiku. [00:59] Kaburagi     Oh, right. Danchiku's not here. [01:04] Kaburagi     Crap. My stomach hurts... [01:09] Danchiku     Is Issa okay? [01:11] Danchiku     Whenever he's nervous,     it affects his stomach first. [01:18] Naruko     Kabu's always thinking by himself. [01:21] Imaizumi     Maybe he doesn't understand that     Sohoku High School fights as a team. [01:28] Teshima     Kaburagi, are you okay? [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... [01:46] Kaburagi     ...to win! [01:48] Kaburagi     We endure long, grueling     races because of that goal. [01:52] Kaburagi     Am I wrong? [01:55] Teshima     Endure, huh? [01:57] Teshima     You're not wrong. It's a good answer. [02:01] Teshima     Okay, we're finished warming up. [02:03] Teshima     Meet inside the bus. We'll start the meeting.

I'll do it. [04:34] Kaburagi     I'll win. [04:38] Rider A     One guy jumped ahead! [04:40] Rider B     It's Sohoku! [04:41] Rider B     Don't let him go! [04:42] Kaburagi     I'm feeling good. I can do it. [04:45] Kaburagi     Are you watching, Danchiku? [04:47] Kaburagi     This first victory is mine. [04:52] Kaburagi     What? A flat tire! [04:56] Kaburagi     W-Wait! [05:01] Kaburagi     I'm so, so, so unlucky. [05:04] Kaburagi     I got a flat on the first lap. Damn it. [05:08] Kaburagi     Should I head back to HQ? [05:09] Kaburagi     No, that would take too long. [05:11] Announce     A bike is stopped at the two-kilometer mark. [05:15] Announce     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. [05:24] Kaburagi     If she cuts across the field,     it's about a kilometer. [05:27] Kaburagi     If I can just wait until then... [05:29] Kaburagi     Wait? [05:31] Kaburagi     How long will that take?     How far will the pack travel in that time?

[05:48] Imaizumi     You're our ace in this race. [05:50] Imaizumi     We're riding to support you. [05:54] Kaburagi     What? [05:55] Naruko     You're the one who said     he wanted to be the ace. [05:58] Sakamichi     Oh, uh... looks like you weren't so lucky. [06:01] Sakamichi     But you can't help it if you have a flat. [06:04] Sakamichi     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? [06:11] Kaburagi     This is the preliminary race. [06:13] Kaburagi     Please go! Just keep going! [06:15] Kaburagi     If we don't win today,     we can't go to the Inter-High! [06:18] Kaburagi     Who cares about me? [06:20] Teshima     Kaburagi... [06:22] Teshima     Last year's captain, Kinjou-san, said [06:25] Teshima     this jersey is complete     when all six are together. [06:28] Kaburagi     It doesn't matter how many there are! [06:31] Kaburagi     This is a lap race. [06:33] Kaburagi     If you fall behind,     you're forced to drop out! [06:37] Announce     The leaders are entering the home stretch. SIGN    Inter-High Preliminaries Chiba [06:40] Announce     They'll be entering their second lap shortly. [06:43] Kaburagi     The pack is coming. Hurry! [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. [07:18] Teshima     I believe in the power of six. [07:23] Miki     Thanks for waiting. [07:24] Naruko     The manager's here. [07:27] Miki     Hurry. The leaders are     just around the corner. [07:29] Naruko     We know. [07:32] Sakamichi     They're here. [07:35] Teshima     It's done. [07:35] Naruko     This team always likes to cut it close. [07:39] Teshima     Don't say that, Naruko. [07:42] Teshima     We've got all six. Let's go. [07:46] Teshima     Sohoku High School's moving again. [07:48] Teshima     Pedal as hard as you can! [07:49] All     Yeah! [07:56] Rider D     They got away. [07:57] Rider E     But they're still within range. [07:59] Yanagida     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! [08:13] Imaizumi     The guys behind us are raring to go. [08:16] Imaizumi     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. [08:55] Teshima     Enjoy your tea time. [08:58] Yanagida     T-Teshima! [09:00] Kaburagi     Has Teshima-senpai always been the kind     of person who provokes people like that? [09:05] Teshima     Let's start catching up, Aoyagi. [09:07] Teshima     We'll ride at 80% to pull ahead. [09:10] Aoyagi     Got it. [09:12] Teshima     Let's start this game of tag. [09:14] All     Yeah! [09:17] Kaburagi     We pulled ahead in a second. [09:20] Kaburagi     Aoyagi-senpai's pulling is amazing. [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%. [10:28] Aoyagi     Ultimate technique... [10:35] Aoyagi     The improved version of Tadokoro-san's     Sohoku High School Human Bullet Train. [10:45] Aoyagi     The Supersonic Oxygen     Human Bullet Aoyagi Train! [10:54] Kaburagi     He's fast. I can't believe how fast he is. [10:56] Kaburagi     I can barely keep up. [10:58] Aoyagi     Tadokoro-san, are you watching? [11:00] Aoyagi     I'm finally going to the Inter-High. [11:03] Aoyagi     And... [11:07] Aoyagi     I'll win. [11:10] Rider D     Th-They're fast. [11:12] Rider E     I can't catch up. [11:13] Yanagida     Sohoku High School's too strong. [11:24] Announce     As we enter the ninth lap     of this ten-lap race, SIGN    Inter-High Preliminaries Chiba [11:27] Announce     Sohoku High School has finally     caught up to the leaders. [11:32] Kaburagi     Amazing. We really did catch up. [11:34] Kaburagi     And on the ninth lap, just like he said. [11:37] Kaburagi     The fans are intoxicated by     this dramatic turn of events. [11:40] Kaburagi     The pack is completely     overwhelmed by this atmosphere. [11:44] Kaburagi     Teshima-san, did you predict this, too? [11:48] Teshima     Sorry, Yanagida. I'm back     for my water bottle. [11:52] Tanagida     Take it. [11:55] Teshima     Don't make too much of it. [11:57] Teshima     There's one lap left. You're up now. [12:01] Kaburagi     Me? [12:03] Imaizumi     We'll take you to the finish line. [12:05] Imaizumi     Ride like your life depends on it. [12:07] Kaburagi     I-Imaizumi-san? [12:08] Imaizumi     I told you, you're the ace today. [12:12] Imaizumi     Your job is to take the finish line. [12:15] Imaizumi     Whatever you do, don't fall behind. [12:19] Kaburagi     Yes, sir. [12:22] Kaburagi     He's fast. He's perfectly efficient. [12:24] Kaburagi     He accelerates so beautifully. [12:27] Sakamichi     A-Are you okay? [12:30] Naruko     He told you not to fall behind. [12:32] Naruko     Since you're the ace,     pedal until your nose bleeds. [12:37] Kaburagi     Yes, sir! [12:39] Kaburagi     Incredible. Naruko-san's     accelerating as he pushes me. [12:43] Sakamichi     You can do it. [12:44] Kaburagi     Onoda-san! [12:45] Naruko     That's it. Pedal hard, Kabu. [12:48] Naruko     Just so you know, the Inter-High's     a hundred times harder than this! [12:59] Imaizumi     Let's go! [13:00] Kaburagi     Yes, sir! SIGN    Inter-High Preliminaries Chiba [13:10] Announce     Goal! Sohoku High School wins     the Chiba preliminaries again. [13:15] Announce     Taking first through sixth place,     they've achieved a perfect victory. [13:19] Kaburagi     Amazing. I got a flat and fell behind,     but I actually took first. [13:26] Kaburagi     Team Sohoku is amazing. [13:30] Kaburagi     Naruko-san, Imaizumi-san, thank you. [13:35] Imaizumi     Don't forget to thank     Teshima-san and Aoyagi-san. [13:38] Naruko     Get up there and show the fans your jersey. [13:42] Naruko     The man who receives the most     praise in a road race... [13:45] Naruko     ...is the one who crosses the finish line first. [13:50] Kaburagi     I... I joined the greatest team. [13:55] Sakamichi     I feel like our form is great now. [13:58] Sakamichi     I feel like we're really unified. [14:02] Sakamichi     Hey, Naruko-kun. [14:04] Naruko     I actually wanted to take first, though. [14:08] Sakamichi     What? [14:08] Imaizumi     The finish line was right     in front of me. Darn it... [14:11] Sakamichi     What? [14:12] Naruko     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.

[17:19] 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.

[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.
