[00:02] Onoda
    Imaizumi-kun!
[00:04] Imaizumi
    Yeah, I see him. Honestly, I'm surprised.
[00:09] Imaizumi
    It's not a blue jersey or a purple one.
[00:14] Imaizumi
    It's hard to believe, but it's
    our team's yellow jersey.
[00:22] Naruko
    The flashy genius of Naniwa is
    finally here, Onoda-kun and hotshot.
[00:27] Naruko
    I, Naruko Shoukichi, have finally
[00:31] Naruko
    made the flashiest
[00:33] Naruko
    of returns.
[00:36] Onoda
    Naruko-kun!
[00:37] Imaizumi
    Naruko.
[00:39] Imaizumi
    I'm glad you made it back.
[00:41] Naruko
    You surprised, hotshot?
[00:43] Naruko
    Does my flashiness make you dizzy?
[00:46] Onoda
    But, um, I really, um...
[00:50] Onoda
    Thank you, Naruko-kun.
[00:53] Imaizumi
    What are you thanking him for?
[00:55] Naruko
    Don't say that!
[00:57] Onoda
    It must've been really hard.
[01:01] Onoda
    Your back...
[01:03] Onoda
    Even your number tag is soaked with sweat.
[01:09] Naruko
    Our three-way finish is approachin'.
[01:14] Naruko
    But there are still seven kilometers to go.
[01:19] Naruko
    I might not have enough left in the tank.
[01:23] Naruko
    Hotshot, Onoda-kun.
[01:26] Naruko
    I'm just happy I got to dream about it now.
[01:32] Fan I
    Sohoku's all alone!
[01:34] Fan J
    Will they hold their lead?
[01:37] Imaizumi
    Naruko, Onoda, the flats are ending.
[01:40] Imaizumi
    We're entering the downhill.
[01:42] Imaizumi
    Try not to fall behind.
[01:44] Naruko
    Who do you think you're talking to, dummy?
[01:47] Imaizumi
    Let's go.
[01:49] Onoda
    Yeah.
[01:52] Naruko
    Go on, hotshot!

[03:26] Fan A
    Look, three Sohoku riders are in the lead!
[03:28] Fan B
    Only seven kilometers left
    to the finish line!
[03:30] Fan C
    I don't see anyone behind them!
[03:33] Fan A
    Will Sohoku finish by themselves?
[03:36] Fan B
    The course is entering a downhill!
[03:40] Fan B
    The flats are ending!
[03:44] Naruko
    Onoda-kun, it's a downhill. We'll gain speed.
[03:47] Naruko
    Stick close so you don't fall behind.
[03:50] Sakamichi
    Okay!
[03:53] Naruko
    That's a nice determined response.
[03:55] Naruko
    I'll have to do my best to stick close, too.
[03:59] Naruko
    My field of view's been shrinkin'
    because I'm not gettin' enough oxygen.
[04:07] Manami
    Now, then...
[04:08] Manami
    What shall we do, Kuroda-san?
[04:11] Kuroda
    Don't worry. We'll catch up
    on the downhill up ahead.
[04:15] Kuroda
    You just wait, Sohoku.
[04:27] Naruko
    Crap.
[04:28] Naruko
    I'm havin' trouble finding the
     correct angle on the turns.
[04:32] Naruko
    I'm practically enterin'
    them on instinct alone.
[04:36] Naruko
    Whoa!
[04:38] Imaizumi
    What are you doing?
     Don't fall behind, Naruko.
[04:41] Imaizumi
    Avoid gaps in the road's surface.
[04:43] Imaizumi
    Even those will slow you down a little.
[04:45] Naruko
    I know that, hotshot. Ain't no big deal.
[04:49] Naruko
    I can't them, damn it.
[04:51] Naruko
    I was just enjoyin' the
    scenery since it's so pretty.
[04:55] Naruko
    Quit nitpickin'.
[04:56] Naruko
    A high-speed downhill with my
    limited vision is pretty risky.
[05:02] Imaizumi
    What if you fall or get a flat?
[05:08] Imaizumi
    I have to nitpick because we're in the lead.
[05:16] Imaizumi
    The riders behind us are closing in
[05:19] Imaizumi
    at full speed so they can
    knock us out of position.
[05:21] Sakamichi
    There are riders behind us!
[05:23] Naruko
    I know that, you jerk.
[05:26] Imaizumi
    Road racing is an equipment-based sport.
[05:29] Imaizumi
    You can blame your loss on equipment issues,
     but whoever finishes first wins.
[05:33] Imaizumi
    We're battling against the terrain, too.

SIGN    Climb
[05:36] Imaizumi
    After this downhill, there's a steep climb.
[05:41] Imaizumi
    We're trying to stay ahead, and the
    guys behind us are trying to catch up.
[05:45] Imaizumi
    The slightly less than seven kilometers
    remaining may seem short, but they're not.
[05:49] Imaizumi
    You can't assume things will go as expected.
[05:52] Imaizumi
    That's why you need to carefully and
    consistently get the details right.
[05:58] Imaizumi
    All of us do.
[06:04] Naruko
    You're exactly right, hotshot.
[06:06] Naruko
    Every single thing you said is correct.
[06:08] Naruko
    But if I could add just one thing...
[06:11] Naruko
    It's that you gotta be bold sometimes.
[06:13] Naruko
    Opportunities are only born from bold moves.
[06:18] Sakamichi
    Bold moves...
[06:21] Imaizumi
    You're right.
[06:23] Imaizumi
    Sounds like you really do know
    what you're doing, Naruko.
[06:26] Naruko
    Of course I do.
[06:28] Naruko
    Sometimes a man's gotta be bold.
[06:32] Naruko
    And flashy.
[06:37] Imaizumi
    Let's go. Don't let your guard down.
[06:42] Imaizumi
    And let's raise our pace a little more.
[06:44] Imaizumi
    We'll create a decisive lead
    over the riders behind us.
[06:47] Imaizumi
    We'll do our best to stay out
    of reach until the finish line.
[06:51] Sakamichi
    Got it.
[06:51] Naruko
    Sure thing. That'd be supremely flashy.
[07:01] Fan D
    The last rider's going up the hill!
[07:04] Fan E
    You can do it!
[07:05] Fan F
    Damn, the lead pack's already
    on top of the mountain!
[07:08] Fan G
    Wow, just seven kilometers to go!

    Don't get up. Your wounds will open!
[07:32] Kaburagi
    Wow! That's amazing, Imaizumi-san,
    Naruko-san, and Onoda-san!
[07:36] Nurse
    Don't get too excited.
[07:38] Kaburagi
    Heck yeah! Huh?
[07:42] Kaburagi
    Aren't my seniors amazing, nurse?
[07:45] Kaburagi
    They're gonna win a one-two-three finish!
[07:48] Nurse
    Actually, I don't think they've finished yet.

[07:55] Kaburagi
    My super cool senior Kaburagi-san
    is resting in the next tent over.
[07:59] Kaburagi
    I need to tell him the news.
[08:00] Nurse
    No, you have to rest.
[08:03] Kaburagi
    Let go! Let me go!
[08:05] Nurse
    No!
[08:06] Kaburagi
    Let me go, nurse!
[08:07] Doubashi
    The tent next door sure is noisy.
[08:08] Kaburagi
    Aoyagi-san! Did you hear that, Aoyagi-san?
[08:10] Nurse
    No!
[08:11] Doubashi
    Right, Sohoku's Aoyagi-san?
[08:11] Kaburagi
    Let me go!
[08:14] Nurse
    No!
[08:16] Aoyagi
    Yeah, sorry. Our idiot's making
    all that noise by himself.
[08:22] Doubashi
    You're not going to make
    any noise, Aoyagi-san?
[08:25] Aoyagi
    It's incredible. I'm thrilled after
    hearing the announcement, too.
[08:30] Doubashi
    What? That's what "thrilled" looks like?
[08:33] Doubashi
    Does this guy barely react to things?
[08:36] Aoyagi
    But we won't know for certain
    until the race is over.
[08:40] Aoyagi
    Favorable situations are
    frequently turned around.
[08:44] Aoyagi
    But if I could talk to them now,
[08:49] Aoyagi
    I'd praise them.
[08:50] Aoyagi
    I'd tell them they did a good job.
[08:53] Aoyagi
    It's not easy to achieve such a huge
    lead in the final stages of a race.
[09:00] Doubashi
    Our team won't let your guys get away.
[09:03] Doubashi
    We've got Manami and Kuroda-san.
[09:06] Doubashi
    I know they'll do it.
[09:07] Aoyagi
    Probably. It won't be easy.
[09:11] Aoyagi
    And my words won't reach them.
[09:15] Aoyagi
    So I'll pray.
[09:18] Doubashi
    Pray?
[09:20] Aoyagi
    We all put our faith and trust in each other.
[09:24] Aoyagi
    That's how Team Sohoku rides.
[09:30] Naruko
    Looks like things won't go as
    planned after all, hotshot.
[09:34] Imaizumi
    Yeah.
[09:36] Sakamichi
    What?
[09:39] Imaizumi
    We're raising our pace on the downhill,
[09:44] Imaizumi
    but our opponents have raised
    their own speed quite a bit.
[09:49] Kuroda
    Look, Manami.
[09:51] Kuroda
    You can see the lead Sohoku riders.
[09:57] Sakamichi
    I just caught a glimpse
    of the riders behind us.
[10:00] Sakamichi
    Two blue jerseys. It's Hakone Academy.
[10:05] Aoyagi
    You'd better not lose,
    Imaizumi, Naruko, Onoda.
[10:11] Doubashi
    I'm counting on you, Kuroda-san and Manami.
[10:15] Sakamichi
    They're behind us. They're right behind us.
[10:18] Imaizumi
    I know. I'm doing everything I can.
[10:23] Imaizumi
    Kuroda-san, huh? He's fast on downhills.
[10:29] Imaizumi
    I thought I knew what to expect, but I
    didn't think they'd catch up this quickly.
[10:36] Kuroda
    I'm not letting you...
[10:39] Kuroda
    have your way, Sohoku!
[10:46] Manami
    That's how Kuroda-san always
    shifts into a higher gear.
[10:49] Manami
    They can't escape him now.
[10:51] Kuroda
    Hold up, Sohoku!
[10:54] Naruko
    They're coming, hotshot.
[10:56] Sakamichi
    They're closer than before.
[10:59] Sakamichi
    Hakone Academy is 50 meters behind us.
[11:04] Sakamichi
    40 meters.
[11:06] Imaizumi
    I know, Onoda.
[11:08] Imaizumi
    Damn, they're closing in.
[11:11] Imaizumi
    On downhills, the riders in front
    face the brunt of the wind,
[11:16] Imaizumi
    so the riders behind them have an advantage.
[11:20] Imaizumi
    But that's just an excuse.
[11:27] Sakamichi
    30 meters.
[11:29] Sakamichi
    They're right on our tails.
[11:33] Imaizumi
    Remove the limiter!
[11:37] Imaizumi
    Remove it!
[11:40] Imaizumi
    Should we let them catch up
    so we can prepare ourselves?
[11:44] Imaizumi
    Is that the safer choice?
[11:46] Imaizumi
    No, that's just another excuse.
[11:49] Imaizumi
    Keep moving forward, Imaizumi Shunsuke.
[11:52] Imaizumi
    In a high-speed downhill battle,
    whoever defeats their own fear wins.
[11:57] Imaizumi
    Kuroda-san, if you're trying to catch up
    on this downhill, then I'll take you on.
[12:03] Sakamichi
    Imaizumi-kun, your shoulder...
[12:11] Imaizumi
    I'll pull ahead of you.
[12:15] Kuroda
    Sohoku's Imaizumi...
[12:18] Kuroda
    ran up against the guardrail to slow
    himself down instead of braking.
[12:22] Kuroda
    Interesting. He's challenging
    me to a downhill battle?
[12:26] Kuroda
    He wants to go head to head?
[12:29] Kuroda
    Bring it on.
[12:32] Kuroda
    Flex, cat legs!
[12:42] Sakamichi
    That let us pull ahead of
    them to about 80 meters.
[12:47] Naruko
    Are you stupid, hotshot?
    You're out of control.
[12:50] Naruko
    I can barely see over here.
[12:53] Imaizumi
    It's still going. Don't relax yet.
[12:56] Sakamichi
    60 meters...
[12:58] Sakamichi
    They're closing in again. 50 meters.
[13:01] Kuroda
    Hey, elite!
[13:03] Imaizumi
    Kuroda-san!
[13:05] Imaizumi
    It's all right. We'll reach
    the climb ahead of them.
[13:08] Imaizumi
    If we can get there without them catching up,
[13:11] Imaizumi
    then we'll hold whatever
    lead we have on the climb.
[13:14] Imaizumi
    It's difficult to close gaps on a climb.
[13:16] Imaizumi
    Let's stay focused.
[13:19] Sakamichi
    40 meters.
[13:21] Sakamichi
    Hakone Academy is on us.
[13:23] Imaizumi
    Let's speed up again.
[13:28] Imaizumi
    Remove the limiter!
[13:31] Sakamichi
    Imaizumi-kun!
[13:35] Sakamichi
    Um, behind us...
[13:38] Imaizumi
    I know. You mean Hakone Academy, right?
[13:41] Sakamichi
    No, actually. I just caught a
    glimpse of the guy behind them.
[13:49] Imaizumi
    Behind them?
[13:52] Naruko
    What?
[13:55] Sakamichi
    He's catching up from behind Hakone Academy.
[14:02] Sakamichi
    It's Kyoto Fushimi!
[14:05] Sakamichi
    Midousuji-kun...
[14:11] Midousuji
    I caught up on this downhill.
[14:16] Midousuji
    Just as planned.
SIGN    Yowamushi Pedal

[14:33] Midousuji
    Gotcha, housefly! Sand fly!
[14:38] Imaizumi
    Damn it! I don't have time
    for Midousuji right now!
[14:41] Kuroda
    Damn, it's Kyoto!
[14:43] Kuroda
    I knew you'd show up on the downhill!
[14:52] Manami
    Kuroda-san, he caught us.
[14:54] Kuroda
    He's so fast!
[14:56] Midousuji
    Fly, fly, scum! Gross.
[15:00] Midousuji
    Gross.
[15:02] Midousuji
    Gross.
[15:04] Manami
    He's gone, Kuroda-san!
[15:07] Sakamichi
    Midousuji-kun passed
    Hakone Academy behind us.
[15:10] Imaizumi
    Already?
[15:11] Naruko
    Midousuji!
[15:12] Sakamichi
    He's right behind us in the turn.
[15:16] Sakamichi
    He's trying to catch up to
    us on this downhill, too.
[15:21] Kuroda
    You may be fast, Midousuji,
    but you're going too fast.
[15:25] Kuroda
    There's a banked 270-degree turn up ahead.
[15:30] Kuroda
    If you enter it at that speed, you'll slip.
[15:37] Kuroda
    Wait, what's happening?
[15:39] Kuroda
    He's not slowing down.
[15:41] Kuroda
    Midousuji's entering the
    turn at his current speed?
[15:46] Kuroda
    What kind of crazy diving bank is that?
[15:57] Kuroda
    He took that corner at an
     unbelievable angle and speed!
[16:03] Sakamichi
    He's right behind us.
[16:06] Imaizumi
    Seriously? He's so damn fast.
[16:09] Imaizumi
    It's all right. This downhill is ending soon.
[16:12] Imaizumi
    It's a straight line
    after that. Don't let up.
[16:14] Imaizumi
    We're nearly at the climb.
[16:17] Imaizumi
    He's fast, but not much faster than us.
[16:20] Imaizumi
    We can hold our lead.
[16:21] Sakamichi
    Yeah!
[16:23] Naruko
    Stay ahead of them, hotshot!
[16:24] Imaizumi
    As long as we don't make any mistakes,
[16:27] Imaizumi
    they won't catch up.
[16:31] Imaizumi
    Part of the road is uneven. Be careful.
[16:34] Sakamichi
    Yeah.
[16:35] Imaizumi
    We're entering the climb.
[16:36] Imaizumi
    Shift to a lighter gear when we do.
[16:38] Sakamichi
    Yeah.
[16:48] Midousuji
    Gross!
[16:51] Imaizumi
    Naruko!
[16:52] Sakamichi
    Naruko-kun!
[16:53] Naruko
    Sorry, I hit a bump.
[16:56] Imaizumi
    Midousuji!
[16:58] Sakamichi
    He passed us.
[17:00] Sakamichi
    He passed all five riders fighting
    for the lead on this downhill,
[17:06] Sakamichi
    like a ferocious insect consuming its prey.
[17:10] Midousuji
    Consume! I consumed my prey.
[17:13] Midousuji
    I passed them.
[17:15] Midousuji
    The houseflies.
[17:16] Midousuji
    And the sand flies.
[17:18] Midousuji
    Just as planned, on this downhill.
[17:25] Midousuji
    I'll hone my alertness and the sensitivity
    of all the nerves in my body and search,
[17:32] Midousuji
    as though groping around
    for pebbles in the mud.
[17:39] Midousuji
    Always considering and selecting
    what can be discarded.
[17:42] Midousuji
    Everything unnecessary and useless.
[17:47] Midousuji
    Status, praise, and useless assertions
    are nothing more than vanity.
[17:53] Midousuji
    Everything not necessary to victory
    will be discarded without hesitation.
[18:00] Midousuji
    And finally, I search only for things
    that will lead me to victory.
[18:06] Midousuji
    Find, secure, and execute.
[18:10] Midousuji
    A teammate slipped? A friend is in trouble?
[18:14] Midousuji
    Who turns around out of
    concern during a race?
[18:20] Midousuji
    Haven't I told you again and again...
[18:25] Midousuji
    that friendship should be the
    first thing you throw away?
[18:40] Fan H
    It's #111 with the number yellow tag!
[18:42] Fan I
    Kyoto Fushimi's Midousuji
    reached the bottom first!
[18:45] Fan J
    After placing second on day one and winning
    yesterday, he's trying to win today, too!
[18:52] Fan H
    He's racing uphill in the lead!
[18:56] Fan I
    And all that remains is...
SIGN    Inter-High Road Race
SIGN    Inter-High Road Race
[18:59] Fan I
    5.5 kilometers!
[19:03] Fan J
    Sohoku's chasing after him!
[19:05] Fan H
    Yeah, but there's a significant gap.
[19:07] Fan I
    100 meters...
[19:09] Fan I
    No, it's 200 meters!
[19:12] Imaizumi
    Damn. That's bigger than I thought.
[19:15] Sakamichi
    Imaizumi-kun, he's already way up there.
[19:17] Imaizumi
    He got us.
[19:20] Midousuji
    How disgraceful, Sohoku.
[19:23] Midousuji
    All three of you.
[19:26] Midousuji
    I'll maintain the lead I built
    before the climb on the uphill.
[19:32] Midousuji
    And closing it is no mean feat.
[19:34] Midousuji
    Didn't you have the
    same thought, Chirpizumi-kun?
[19:37] Midousuji
    That's correct.
[19:40] Midousuji
    That little climb is a huge
    opportunity to seize victory.
[19:45] Midousuji
    So I devoted my entire body
    and mind to passing everyone.
[19:52] Midousuji
    A 200-meter lead with 5.5 kilometers to go.
[19:55] Midousuji
    That's plenty.
[19:58] Midousuji
    In road races, riders often hold 30 to
    50 meter leads before the finish line.
[20:06] Midousuji
    I bet you wasted time
    building up your friendship,
[20:09] Midousuji
    helping each other, and dreaming together.
[20:13] Midousuji
    That was all a waste of time!
[20:17] Midousuji
    Throw it away. When your friend skidded earlier,
[20:21] Midousuji
    you should've enjoyed the lighter load
[20:24] Midousuji
    without sparing a glance and
    charged ahead at full speed.
[20:33] Naruko
    We're about...
[20:35] Naruko
    200 meters behind.
[20:38] Sakamichi
    Imaizumi-kun, I'll go after him.
[20:40] Imaizumi
    No, wait. I'll—No.
[20:44] Imaizumi
    Manami and Kuroda-san of
    Hakone Academy are still behind us.
[20:49] Imaizumi
    Should we send Onoda now?
    What will Manami do?
[20:53] Imaizumi
    No, don't hesitate, Imaizumi Shunsuke.
[20:57] Imaizumi
    These circumstances call for prudent—
[21:01] Naruko
    What are you thinkin' so hard for, hotshot?
[21:08] Naruko
    We'll chase after anyone
    who attacks. That's it.
[21:11] Naruko
    You worry too much about details.
[21:13] Naruko
    You really need to work on that.
[21:16] Imaizumi
    What?
[21:17] Naruko
    If things don't always go accordin' to plan,
[21:21] Naruko
    then not plannin' at all is an option.
[21:25] Naruko
    Didn't I tell you?
[21:28] Naruko
    Sometimes you gotta be bold.
[21:32] Naruko
    All three of us just need to catch up, right?
[21:35] Naruko
    Hold on tight, you two.
[21:37] Naruko
    I'll pull the rest of the way.
[21:41] Sakamichi
    Naruko-kun...
[21:43] Imaizumi
    Naruko...
[21:46] Naruko
    The Naruko Super Express
    is leavin' the station!
[21:49] Imaizumi
    He can't see us when he looks our way.
[21:53] Imaizumi
    Have you gone blind again?
[21:56] Sakamichi
    Naruko-kun, your eyes...
[22:02] Sakamichi
    What? Is that why he kept skidding?
[22:10] Sakamichi
    Naruko-kun, fall back.
[22:13] Sakamichi
    Huh?
[22:15] Imaizumi
    You're going to pull for us, Naruko?
[22:21] Naruko
    Ain't no big deal.
[22:28] Sakamichi
    Imaizumi-kun...
[22:34] Imaizumi
    Can you do that for us?
[22:39] Naruko
    Yeah, you can count on me.
[22:42] Sakamichi
    Imaizumi—
[22:46] Sakamichi
    Imaizumi-kun already knows what's
    going to happen to Naruko-kun, too.
[22:55] Sakamichi
    He knows, and yet...
[23:01] Naruko
    Y'all can pay me back later.
[23:04] Naruko
    Hop on, Onoda-kun. I guess
    you can come, too, hotshot.
[23:13] Naruko
    This is the Naruko train's
    super-flashy final trip.
