[00:02] Koga
    Let me be clear.
[00:03] Koga
    I won't let you finish a thousand kilometers.
[00:10] Naruko
    He jumped ahead! He's got it!
[00:11] Koga
    You've gotten stronger.
    I hardly recognize you.
[00:16] Koga
    But you're still...
[00:20] Koga
    Ordinary!
[00:24] Koga
    That's how strong you are.
[00:27] Koga
    Feel like giving up yet?
[00:29] Teshima
    Looks like there won't be any time for
    tea until I finish a thousand kilometers.

[02:09] Koga
    Teshima...
[02:10] Koga
    When you're unable to speak anymore,
    that'll be when you've given up.
[02:17] Koga
    I'll become the captain
    of Sohoku High School.
[02:23] Sakamich
    Teshima-san!
[02:31] Teshima
    Who's becoming captain?
[02:34] Teshima
    In any case, if we're celebrating,
    I'll have to order...
[02:38] Teshima
    One of your favorite pizzas.
[02:42] Koga
    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.
[05:19] Teshima
    Seriously?
[05:21] Teshima
    And give me a hand. Hey, Koga!
SIGN    Teshima Koga Aoyagi Imaizumi
[05:26] Teshima
    I can't stand up.
[05:33] Koga
    I've waited a long time.
[05:36] Koga
    This year, I'll complete
    one thousand kilometers.
[05:40] Koga
    And fight at the Inter-High.
[05:44] Aoyagi
    Your pace is dropping with each lap.
[05:48] Aoyagi
    Are you okay, Junta?
[05:49] Teshima
    Koga's a genius. I don't
    stand a chance against him.
[05:54] Aoyagi
    Junta...
[05:56] Teshina
    That's why I'm thinking of doing...
[06:01] Teshina
    ...what only an ordinary man can do.

[06:18] First-Year
    Aoyagi-san and Naruko-san are amazing!
[06:21] Koga
    They sure do eat a lot.
[06:24] Imaizumi
    That's a lot of calories, though.
[06:27] Imaizumi
    Bicycle racing is a battle of endurance.
[06:30] Imaizumi
    Koga-senpai is putting it on the line
    in his race against Teshima-san.
[06:36] Koga
    The skies cleared up, though.
[06:38] Koga
    The fog was crazy this morning. Right, Onoda?
[06:41] Sakamichi
    Yes, sir.
[06:43] Koga
    We went for a ride first thing this morning
[06:48] Koga
    to make up for being late
    to the training camp.
SIGN    Teshima Koga
[06:51] Koga
    Now I'm back to being five
    minutes behind Teshima.
[06:55] Aoyagi
    Envision your assignment
    and goal while you ride.
[06:59] All
    Yes, sir!
[07:03] Aoyagi
    Help provide food and water
    if you've dropped out.
[07:05] Aoyagi
    If you're free, work out.
[07:07] All
    Yes, sir!
[07:08] Aoyagi
    I'm off.
[07:17] Teshima
    What's this? I thought
    I'd gotten ahead of you.
[07:20] Koga
    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!
[07:37] Teshima
    I'll complete a thousand
    kilometers in four days...
[07:41] Teshima
    ...and cross the finish line before you!
[07:45] Koga
    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!

[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.
