[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     to Midousuji-san, did I? SIGN    Arashiyama Bicycle Park [03:42] Komari     I can't. I mustn't say it. [03:45] Komari     Nobody can know that I want to touch people. [03:52] Komari     I'm in middle school now. [03:54] Komari     I need to pull myself together. [03:56] Komari     I have to act with grace, maintain a placid     temperament, and conceal my emotions. 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. [08:16] (Flashback) Komari     Decorations... [08:17] (Flashback) Midousuji     If you want the truth, you have     to offer up your entire self. [08:31] Komari     I ran... [08:34] Komari     What are those eyes? [08:36] Komari     When he speaks to me,     those eyes shake my heart. [08:39] Komari     Why? [08:41] Komari     I want the truth. It's what I really want. [08:44] Komari     I want to touch them and see for myself. [08:48] Komari     I want to know, but I must conceal it. [08:56] Komari     Why? Why am I turning back? [09:01] Komari     Should I be doing this? Is this     really the right thing? [09:05] Komari     I might be on the verge of opening [09:07] Komari     a wrapping that should stay closed! [09:15] (Flashback) Komari     Midousuji-san! [09:16] (Flashback) Komari     I want to touch your muscles! [09:20] (Flashback) Komari     What should I do? [09:23] (Flashback) Midousuji     I see. [09:34] (Flashback) Rider 1     What's gotten into you, kid? [09:36] (Flashback) Rider 1     Midousuji's not a girl. [09:38] (Flashback) Rider 2     It'd be even worse if he were a girl. [09:40] (Flashback) Rider 3     Hey, Midousuji. He wants     to touch your muscles. [09:44] (Flashback) Rider 3     Go on and let him. [09:49] (Flashback) Komari     Muscles... [09:50] Midousuji     This man... I see. [09:53] Midousuji     Muscles. Muscles, huh? [09:56] Midousuji     You don't just want to look at muscles,     you want to touch them and see how they feel. [10:02] Midousuji     That's your truth! [10:15] (Flashback) Komari     Mi... dousuji-san... [10:18] (Flashback) Midousuji     Touching... [10:19] (Flashback) Midousuji     Coming in contact with another person's body. [10:24] (Flashback) Midousuji     That's not easy. [10:26] (Flashback) Komari     I've always wanted to touch     them since I was a child. [10:30] (Flashback) Komari     But I've restrained myself. [10:33] (Flashback) Komari     I've kept my desire in check. [10:36] (Flashback) Komari     But I can't anymore. [10:38] (Flashback) Komari     I want to touch you after     hearing what you said! [10:42] (Flashback) Komari     The fence is in the way! [10:43] (Flashback) Komari     This fence is always getting in the way! [10:45] (Flashback) Midousuji     Do you want to cross that     fence and come over here? [10:50] (Flashback) Komari     Yes. [10:54] (Flashback) Midousuji     Then you'll have to ride a bike! [11:02] (Flashback) Komari     Yes, I understand. [11:04] (Flashback) Komari     I'm glad to have an answer. [11:12] Komari     Since that day, SIGN    Arashiyama Bicycle Park [11:15] Komari     I've been riding bikes like a man possessed. [11:18] Komari     Bicycles are amazing... [11:22] Komari     Because we're moving at the same speed,     I can see his leaping muscles up close. [11:32] (Flashback) Rider A     Hey, are you okay? [11:35] (Flashback) Komari     I must go after him immediately! [11:37] (Flashback) Komari     I must see more of Midousuji-san! [11:40] (Flashback) Rider A     He's Kishigami, right? He's good. [11:43] (Flashback) Rider A     He's just a beginner, but he's got guts. [11:46] Komari     I'm catching up! [11:48] (Flashback) Midousuji     Let you touch my muscles? [11:52] (Flashback) Midousuji     Sure, you can. [11:54] (Flashback) Midousuji     If you can catch me, that is. [11:58] (Flashback) Midousuji     On a bike. [12:00] Komari     I will catch up, Midousuji-san! [12:03] Komari     Midousuji-san is so kind! [12:05] Komari     I will catch up! [12:06] Komari     To those muscles! [12:10] Midousuji     Kishigami... huh. [12:12] Midousuji     Was Komari his name? [12:15] Midousuji     He's growing. [12:17] Midousuji     His growth since he started riding is     clearly different from an ordinary person's. [12:24] Midousuji     No, it doesn't matter. [12:28] Midousuji     I am me.

SIGN    Bicycle Racing Club SIGN    Come here if you want to bike [13:09] (Flashback) First Year     He probably joined the team to ride, [13:11] (Flashback) First Year     but he's being made to give massages.

[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.

[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?

[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!

[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    NEXT LINE The Sprint Line of Delight SIGN    This is a work of fiction. All characters and organizations appearing in this work are fictional.
