[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. SIGN    Yowamushi Pedal SIGN    RIDE.14 The Ordinary Man and the Genius [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. SIGN    Boom SIGN    Pop [06:08] Aoyagi     Supersonic Oxygen Ten Thousand Bites of Food! [06:13] Naruko     A man eats plain white rice in silence! [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! SIGN     Aoyagi SIGN    Teshima Aoyagi SIGN    Teshima Koga Aoyagi [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. [21:29] Koga     Your eyes are brimming with confidence. [21:36] Koga     Sohoku High School's fate is in your hands. [21:38] Koga     Go win, Junta. [23:17] Aoyagi     Junta... [23:27] Teshima     Aoyagi, my hair's silky now, too.
