**[00:04] Naruko**
Shall we race, Manami?
**[00:08] Kuroda**
He slipped through the
30-centimeter gap between us.
**[00:12] Manami**
You're challenging me here,
in these mountains?
**[00:16] Naruko**
Your hearin' must be pretty
good if you caught all that.
**[00:19] Manami**
Let's go!
**[00:25] Naruko**
Damn, he's fast.
**[00:26] Naruko**
That's Manami Sangaku.
**[00:29] Naruko**
Are you a flippin' bullet train?
**[00:35] Manami**
Oh? You kept up.
**[00:37] Manami**
I can tell you're straining yourself.
**[00:39] Naruko**
Of course I am. I'm racin'
against a bullet train here.
**[00:43] Manami**
How far do you plan on riding this train?
**[00:45] Naruko**
All the way to the last stop in Hakata.
***SIGN*** Shin-Osaka
***SIGN*** Tokyo
***SIGN*** Nagoya
***SIGN*** Hakata
**[00:47] Naruko**
After all, I love mentaiko.
**[00:50] Manami**
There's no chance of that happening.
***SIGN*** Shin-Osaka
***SIGN*** Shin-Osaka
**[00:54] Manami**
Why don't you get off at Nagoya?
**[00:57] Naruko**
You know more about railways
than I thought, Manami.
**[01:00] Naruko**
You're really gettin' on board with it.
**[01:02] Manami**
You mean the train, or your joke?
**[01:04] Naruko**
The joke.
**[01:06] Manami**
Now that I think about it, even though we
both raced in the Inter-High last year...
**[01:12] Manami**
We've never spoken much before.
**[01:16] Manami**
What a novel experience.
**[01:18] Naruko**
Of course we didn't.
**[01:19] Naruko**
You're a climber, and last
year I was a sprinter.
**[01:26] Kuroda**
Wait, Manami.
**[01:27] Manami**
Kuroda-san...
**[01:31] Kuroda**
Your contest is over.
Quit racing him immediately.
**[01:35] Kuroda**
There's no need to accept his challenge.

**[03:11] Kuroda**
Did you think this was the
crossroads of the race?
**[03:15] Kuroda**
That was pretty clever of you, Naruko.
**[03:17] Kuroda**
Your plan was to challenge Manami
**[03:19] Kuroda**
and exhaust him just before
the finish line, wasn't it?
**[03:23] Kuroda**
Even if it meant sacrificing yourself.
**[03:26] Naruko**
Sacrifice? Not a chance, Kuroda-san.
**[03:30] Naruko**
I'm on my way to the front of the race...
**[03:35] Naruko**
by pullin' ahead of Manami.
**[03:39] Naruko**
I've got an old promise left
unfulfilled from last year.
**[03:43] Naruko**
I'm headin' to the front so
I can make good on that, too.
**[03:49] Kuroda**
Pull ahead of Manami and reach the front?
**[03:52] Kuroda**
Is he bluffing?
**[03:55] Kuroda**
He thinks he can pull ahead
of Manami on this climb?
**[03:58] Kuroda**
You're not capable of that!
**[04:00] Manami**
So that was his plan after all.
**[04:03] Manami**
I could tell from the way he was riding.
**[04:06] Naruko**
Oh, right. I forgot to mention
the rule I came up with.
**[04:10] Naruko**
Just ridin' normally wouldn't be any fun.
**[04:13] Kuroda**
Rule? Fun?
**[04:16] Naruko**
Our destination is the lead riders.
**[04:18] Naruko**
Until we reach them,
no ridin' two against one.
**[04:22] Naruko**
Sorry, Kuroda-san, but you're
not allowed to interfere.
**[04:26] Naruko**
But in exchange, I'll give something up, too.
**[04:31] Naruko**
If I lose this race, I'll stay behind
Kuroda-san until I cross the finish line.
**[04:37] Naruko**
How does that sound?
**[04:39] Manami**
Sounds good. Let's do it, Naruko-kun.
**[04:42] Naruko**
I'm glad you're so understanding, Manami.
**[04:44] Naruko**
Shall we go, then?
**[04:45] Kuroda**
He responded instantly.
**[04:47] Kuroda**
Wait, Manami. There's no reason
to accept such a risky—
**[04:49] Manami**
Risky?
**[04:52] Manami**
That's why I'm accepting
his challenge, Kuroda-san.
**[04:55] Naruko**
Let's go, Manami!
**[04:56] Naruko**
Our tense battle starts now!
**[05:02] Naruko**
Our race ends once we can see
the backs of the two lead riders
**[05:05] Naruko**
and one of us catches up to them.
**[05:08] Manami**
Sounds good, Naruko-kun.
**[05:10] Manami**
It would a waste to miss out on...
**[05:12] Manami**
a tense last-minute race like this.
**[05:16] Fan A**
Hakone Academy accelerated!
**[05:18] Fan B**
He instantly caught up to Sohoku!
**[05:20] Naruko**
Crap, you caught up already?
**[05:23] Manami**
Did you just say,
"Crap, you caught up already?"
**[05:25] Naruko**
Whoa! Nah, you must've misheard me.
**[05:28] Manami**
Are you sure you're okay?
**[05:29] Naruko**
Shut up. I said, uh,
"Crap, I love being red."
**[05:35] Manami**
Before long, you'll be
saying I passed you. Look.
**[05:39] Manami**
You'd better pedal like
your life depends on it.
**[05:41] Fan C**
Hakone Academy is so fast!
**[05:43] Naruko**
He passed me already.
**[05:45] Naruko**
It's not surprising,
considering Manami's a pure climber.
**[05:48] Naruko**
Though I've learned to climb,
I'm still just a sprinting all-rounder.
**[05:53] Naruko**
He's on another level.
**[05:55] Manami**
You're one step behind.
**[05:58] Manami**
That's what makes you different
from a pure climber.
**[06:02] Manami**
Do you want to forfeit this race?
**[06:04] Manami**
I can already see how this ends.
**[06:06] Naruko**
Oh, yeah? And where do you see that?
**[06:09] Naruko**
There isn't an outcome in this world
that can be seen before it happens.
**[06:12] Naruko**
In 100% of cases,
you won't know until you try.
**[06:16] Naruko**
He's on another level, but my chances
of beating him are greater than zero.
**[06:19] Manami**
That's exactly what I'd hoped you say.
**[06:22] Naruko**
Then don't ask, dummy.
**[06:26] Manami**
I guess you could say I wanted to confirm...
**[06:29] Manami**
if I could really go all-out against you.
**[06:32] Naruko**
Overconfident much? You were appraising me?
**[06:35] Manami**
You're expensive, Naruko-kun.
**[06:37] Manami**
You're A5.
**[06:38] Naruko**
Are you callin' me a tasty piece of wagyu?
**[06:41] Manami**
No, you're a fighting bull.
**[06:43] Manami**
You're a sucker for red things, aren't you?
**[06:45] Manami**
You charge straight at your
opponents with your horns out.
**[06:48] Naruko**
Of course. I'm always puttin'
my life on the line
**[06:52] Naruko**
with everything I do!
**[06:59] Naruko**
He's friggin' fast. But I'll do
whatever it takes to keep up.
**[07:03] Manami**
Naruko-kun, there are two things
surprising me right now.
**[07:08] Manami**
The first is that you're keeping
up better than I expected.
**[07:12] Manami**
I thought you'd have fallen
behind a while ago,
**[07:14] Manami**
but you've doggedly kept up
with all my accelerations.
**[07:17] Manami**
On this climb, no less.
**[07:20] Manami**
Then there's the other thing.
**[07:22] Manami**
Battling you right now is
more fun than expected.
**[07:25] Manami**
That goes for me and for you.
**[07:28] Manami**
We're both enjoying this tension.
**[07:31] Manami**
I always feel most alive when
I'm brushing up against death.
**[07:40] Manami**
Right now, I feel alive.
**[07:46] Naruko**
Manami, you're a pretty
flashy daredevil, too.
**[07:51] Naruko**
Each time I've kept up with you,
I've felt a fire burnin' inside me.
**[07:56] Manami**
I'm glad I took you up on your challenge.
**[07:58] Manami**
It was fun. Thanks.
**[08:02] Manami**
But unfortunately, our race is over.
**[08:06] Manami**
We'll probably catch up to the lead
riders once we're past the next turn.
**[08:10] Manami**
Then I'll accelerate at full speed.
**[08:13] Manami**
You won't be able to keep up.
**[08:15] Manami**
I'll get there first.
**[08:17] Manami**
I don't know what your plan was,
**[08:20] Manami**
but challenging me on this climb
really was a reckless gamble.
**[08:27] Naruko**
That's right, I took a gamble.
**[08:30] Manami**
On your own potential?
**[08:32] Manami**
Look, the backs of the lead
riders are coming into view.
**[08:35] Naruko**
Our race isn't over yet.
**[08:43] Manami**
Huh? I don't see them.
**[08:46] Manami**
The lead riders aren't here.
**[08:48] Manami**
Huh, I guess our race isn't over yet.
**[08:52] Manami**
Shall we race a little longer?
**[08:54] Manami**
They're farther ahead than I—
**[08:56] Naruko**
You're right. Looks like they're farther
ahead than you guys expected, Manami.
**[09:03] Manami**
He's smiling?
**[09:05] Naruko**
So that's what Hakone Academy
expected after all.
**[09:08] Naruko**
You thought you'd catch up to the
lead riders around here on the climb.
**[09:12] Naruko**
In road races, predicting future
events affects the outcome.
**[09:17] Naruko**
I expect we'll catch up to the
lead riders farther ahead.
**[09:22] Naruko**
I made a different prediction
from Hakone Academy.
**[09:25] Naruko**
That's why I challenged you.
**[09:27] Manami**
That's his gamble?
**[09:28] Naruko**
Do you know what I mean by
"farther ahead," Manami?
**[09:34] Naruko**
That's right. I'm sure you
saw it on the course map.
**[09:37] Naruko**
Once we're out of the next two turns,
**[09:40] Naruko**
the climb will end temporarily.
**[09:42] Naruko**
The course turns into a flat road
passing by the beautiful Lake Yumi.
**[09:49] Manami**
A flat road?
**[09:51] Manami**
Naruko-kun is a sprinting all-rounder.
**[09:55] Naruko**
I'm at a total disadvantage on a climb.
**[09:57] Naruko**
But if I can drag it out into the flats,
then I've got a chance.
**[10:02] Naruko**
The difference in our predictions
determined this contest.
**[10:05] Naruko**
We're risking everything in
this tense last-minute battle
**[10:07] Naruko**
as we push ourselves to the limit.
**[10:10] Naruko**
You're right. This is truly fun.
**[10:14] Naruko**
Come on, Manami.
It's time for the final battle.
**[10:19] Manami**
I see. I'm surprised.
**[10:21] Manami**
I didn't realize this was your strategy.
**[10:24] Manami**
We expected to catch up on the climb.
**[10:28] Manami**
You expected our race to continue
into the flats past the climb.
**[10:33] Manami**
And you used the difference in
our expectations against us.
**[10:36] Manami**
Not bad.
**[10:39] Manami**
As it should be.
**[10:41] Naruko**
Manami stood up?
**[10:42] Naruko**
He entered his dancing stance.
**[10:45] Naruko**
His eyes say he's ready to fight.
**[10:47] Naruko**
Of course. Though there are flats
ahead and their prediction was wrong,
**[10:54] Naruko**
we're still on his home turf—a climb!
**[10:59] Manami**
Let's go!
**[11:04] Manami**
Naruko-kun said we'd be into the flats
once we're through these two turns.
**[11:10] Manami**
Two? That's right.
**[11:12] Manami**
There's still two whole
turns' worth of climbing.
**[11:15] Manami**
Our race isn't over yet.
**[11:19] Manami**
Show yourselves, lead riders.
**[11:21] Naruko**
Damn, he's freakin' fast.
**[11:23] Naruko**
Is Manami even human?
**[11:25] Naruko**
Oh, right. He's a bullet train.
**[11:36] Manami**
They're not here?
**[11:38] Manami**
One more turn to go.
**[11:40] Naruko**
All right. We still haven't seen them.
**[11:42] Naruko**
I've just got to hold on for one more corner.
**[11:46] Naruko**
Then the climb will be over.
**[11:49] Naruko**
Stay out of sight, Onoda-kun and hotshot.
**[11:52] Naruko**
Once the climb is over,
we'll be on a flat road.
**[11:54] Naruko**
I'll speed past him then.
**[12:01] Naruko**
But if there's a break in the climb,
**[12:04] Naruko**
that means we'll have reached a peak.
**[12:08] Naruko**
And it's a bit windy on peaks.
**[12:14] Naruko**
But I'll be fine.
**[12:16] Naruko**
Naruko Shoukichi, the Speedman
of Naniwa, is a friend of the wind.
**[12:20] Naruko**
Once we enter the flats,
I'll show off my true...
**[12:26] Naruko**
The wind? Crap.
**[12:29] Naruko**
I heard this guy uses the wind, too.
**[12:30] Manami**
The wind's picking up...
**[12:36] Manami**
Naruko-kun...
**[12:37] Naruko**
He's a friend of the wind, too!
He's accelerating.
**[12:44] Naruko**
Crap, what was that?
**[12:46] Naruko**
He accelerated like some kind of CGI model.
**[12:49] Naruko**
I saw wings for a second.
**[12:51] Naruko**
I'm accelerating at full speed,
but I can't keep up.
**[12:54] Naruko**
What are you, the Linear Shinkansen?
**[12:57] Manami**
This is the last turn. Show yourselves.
**[13:00] Manami**
Show yourselves, show yourselves!
**[13:03] Manami**
Show me the lead pack!
**[13:08] Manami**
I see. The lead riders still aren't in sight.
**[13:13] Manami**
I'm impressed, Naruko-kun.
**[13:16] Manami**
Congratulations. You won your gamble.
**[13:20] Manami**
It was a long shot, but you didn't hesitate.
**[13:24] Manami**
Why not?
**[13:27] Naruko**
Before I answer your question,
you're too friggin' fast.
**[13:31] Naruko**
Were you tryin' to kill me?
**[13:34] Manami**
Look. The lead riders are on
the other side of the flats.
**[13:38] Manami**
We failed to catch up to them
on the climb like we expected.
**[13:44] Naruko**
Why didn't I hesitate?
**[13:48] Naruko**
It's not that I didn't have doubts.
**[13:50] Naruko**
After all, I was up against you.
**[13:52] Naruko**
And the conditions were tough.
**[13:54] Naruko**
I barely made it.
**[13:56] Naruko**
But still, I gambled.
**[13:58] Naruko**
Like you said, on my own potential.
**[14:02] Naruko**
I persevered.
**[14:04] Naruko**
But I couldn't have won this gamble alone.
**[14:09] Manami**
What?
**[14:10] Naruko**
There was another thing I bet on:
**[14:15] Naruko**
the potential of my teammates.
**[14:19] Naruko**
I didn't stand a chance
**[14:21] Naruko**
unless they sped up the mountains
faster than Hakone Academy expected
**[14:25] Naruko**
and far ahead on the flats
where I'm strongest.
**[14:31] Naruko**
While racing against you,
I kept praying in my head,
**[14:35] Naruko**
"Go, Onoda-kun. Hurry it up, hotshot."
**[14:40] Manami**
A prayer, huh? I see.
**[14:45] Manami**
This race was actually three against one.
**[14:52] Manami**
I know I wasn't any weaker than you, though.
**[14:56] Manami**
Maybe I enjoyed chatting too much.
**[14:58] Manami**
Sorry, Kuroda-san.
**[15:02] Kuroda**
*Listen to me, Manami.*
**[15:04] (Flashback) Kuroda**
You can go, but promise me one thing.
**[15:08] (Flashback) Kuroda**
Even if something goes wrong and it looks
like he's going to win, don't over-commit.
**[15:13] (Flashback) Kuroda**
There's no need.
**[15:16] (Flashback) Kuroda**
He's...
**[15:18] (Flashback) Kuroda**
working too hard.
**[15:21] (Flashback) Kuroda**
In this race,
**[15:23] (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.
**[21:20] Onoda**
I feel like strength and courage
are endlessly pouring out of me.
***SIGN*** Road Race
Distance Remaining
7km
**[21:25] Onoda**
There are still seven kilometers remaining.
**[21:27] Onoda**
Our opponents are behind us.
**[21:29] Onoda**
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...
**[22:48] Naruko**
I'm just happy I got to dream about it now.
**[22:54] Fan I**
Sohoku's all alone!
**[22:56] Fan J**
Will they hold their lead?
**[22:58] Fan K**
Seriously?
**[23:01] Imaizumi**
Naruko, Onoda, the flats are ending.
**[23:04] Imaizumi**
We're entering the downhill.
**[23:06] Imaizumi**
Try not to fall behind.
**[23:08] Naruko**
Who do you think you're talking to, dummy?
**[23:12] Imaizumi**
Let's go.
**[23:13] Onoda**
Yeah.
**[23:17] Naruko**
Go on, hotshot!
