[00:02] Naruko
    We're about...
[00:05] Naruko
    200 meters behind.
[00:07] Sakamichi
    Imaizumi-kun, I'll go after him.
[00:09] Imaizumi
    No, wait. I'll—No.
[00:13] Imaizumi
    Manami and Kuroda-san of
    Hakone Academy are still behind us.
[00:19] Imaizumi
    Should we send Onoda now?
    What will Manami do?
[00:22] Imaizumi
    No, don't hesitate, Imaizumi Shunsuke.
[00:26] Imaizumi
    These circumstances call for prudent—
[00:30] Naruko
    What are you thinkin' so hard for, hotshot?
[00:37] Naruko
    We'll chase after anyone
    who attacks. That's it.
[00:40] Naruko
    You worry too much about details.
[00:43] Naruko
    You really need to work on that.
[00:45] Imaizumi
    What?
[00:47] Naruko
    If things don't always go accordin' to plan,
[00:51] Naruko
    then not plannin' at all is an option.
[00:54] Naruko
    Didn't I tell you?
[00:57] Naruko
    Sometimes you gotta be bold.
[01:01] Naruko
    You can count on me. I'll pull.
[01:05] Naruko
    Hop on, Onoda-kun. I guess
    you can come, too, hotshot.
[01:09] Naruko
    This is the Naruko train's
    super-flashy final trip.
[01:17] Sakamichi
    Naruko-kun just called it his final trip.
[01:21] Imaizumi
    We're counting on you, Naruko.
[01:24] Naruko
    We'll catch up to them easily!
[01:26] Naruko
    Here we go! Don't fall behind!
[01:30] Naruko
    The Naruko Super Express
    is movin' at full speed!
SIGN    Yowamushi Pedal
SIGN    The Naruko Super Express!!
[03:07] Fan A
    Sohoku's accelerating at full speed!
[03:09] Fan B
    Naruko, their #3, is in front!
[03:11] Fan C
    They're on a climb, but he's so fast!
[03:13] Imaizumi
    Naruko's so fast!
[03:16] Fan A
    He's tearing up the hill!
[03:17] Fan B
    Wow, Sohoku! Go!
[03:21] Imaizumi
    Naruko...
[03:22] Naruko
    Don't be so worried, Onoda-kun.
    You, too, hotshot.
[03:28] Naruko
    Your sadness will start
    affecting me, Onoda-kun.
[03:33] Naruko
    I'm the genius Naruko Shoukichi.
[03:35] Naruko
    Don't worry. You can count on me.
[03:38] Naruko
    We're movin' slower than
    we were on that downhill.
[03:42] Naruko
    My vision's still limited, but I can
     see what's in front of me.
[03:44] Naruko
    I see you.
[03:47] Naruko
    I can see you up there.
[03:49] Naruko
    I'll catch up to you, Midousuji.
[03:52] Naruko
    Midousuji!
[03:56] Midousuji
    Naruko? You're leading your team?
[03:59] Midousuji
    What are you doing, Naruko?
[04:01] Midousuji
    You were wobbling on the downhill earlier.
[04:03] Midousuji
    I thought you were at your limit,
     but now you're pulling.
[04:08] Midousuji
    You should've quietly given up.
[04:13] Midousuji
    But you're still fighting? Gross!
[04:18] Midousuji
    You think you can catch
    up to me? On this climb?
[04:22] Midousuji
    Is that your final challenge?
[04:27] Midousuji
    Didn't I tell you at the very start?
[04:31] Midousuji
    You only get one shot.
[04:35] Midousuji
    But you raced me before the
    finish line on the first day,
[04:38] Midousuji
    stuck to me in the mountains yesterday,
    and now you're challenging me again today.
[04:43] Midousuji
    You're persistent.
[04:46] Midousuji
    You're awfully persistent, Naruko!
[04:52] Naruko
    You know, Midousuji...
[04:54] Naruko
    Challenges don't end
    until a winner is chosen.
[04:58] Naruko
    Let's make our final race a flashy one.
[05:02] Fan D
    Sohoku's Naruko accelerated again!
[05:06] Fan E
    He's slowly closing the gap on the climb!
[05:08] Fan F
    He's catching up!
    He's only 150 meters behind!
[05:15] Midousuji
    He's coming. He's getting closer.
[05:20] Naruko
    Reducing weight is essential to climbing.
[05:22] Naruko
    I'm getting rid of stuff
    I don't need anymore.
[05:26] Sakamichi
    Naruko-kun still had water in that bottle!
[05:29] Naruko
    I'll shed weight and accelerate again.
[05:33] Sakamichi
    Naruko-kun, don't push yourself any harder!
[05:36] Sakamichi
    Naruko-kun—
[05:39] Sakamichi
    No, that's not right.
[05:41] Sakamichi
    I shouldn't be trying to stop him right now.
[05:44] Sakamichi
    I should face forward with him.
[05:46] Sakamichi
    Naruko-kun...
[05:52] Naruko
    Hold up.
[05:53] Naruko
    Hold up, Dumbosuji! You're not gettin' away!
[05:58] Fan G
    Sohoku is still closing the gap!
[06:00] Fan H
    They're 100 meters behind!
[06:04] Imaizumi
    Naruko reduced the 200
    meter gap to 100 meters.
[06:07] Sakamichi
    We have a clear view of Midousuji-kun's back.
[06:10] Midousuji
    What? That man...
[06:15] Naruko
    Oh, right. I've got one
    last bit of weight to shed.
[06:26] Naruko
    Reducing weight is essential to climbing.
[06:28] Naruko
    Throw away everything you don't need.
[06:30] Naruko
    What do you think of my Naruko-style
    flashy ultimate lightweight climb?
[06:35] Sakamichi
    His saddle, too?
[06:42] Sakamichi
    He threw it away.
[06:43] Naruko
    We're just 100 meters behind now.
[06:46] Naruko
    Dancin' will be enough to
    catch up to you, Midousuji.
[06:51] Naruko
    I won't need that thing anymore.
[06:53] Sakamichi
    He's not going to sit back down on his bike?
[06:57] Sakamichi
    But we're still five kilometers
     away from the finish line!
[07:01] Imaizumi
    Naruko...
[07:04] Midousuji
    You're doing that again, Naruko?
[07:09] Midousuji
    That saddle-less sprint to
    the finish you demonstrated
[07:14] Midousuji
    during our unofficial race
     in Osaka last year?
[07:22] Midousuji
    You've thrown away something important
[07:26] Midousuji
    without hesitation for
    that last bit of resolve...
[07:32] Midousuji
    to settle our drawn-out contest at last?
[07:40] Midousuji
    Settle it? Too bad, though.
[07:46] Midousuji
    Your resolve will be for nothing...
[07:50] Midousuji
    Because it's impossible
    for you to catch up to me.
[07:55] Naruko
    I swear I'll catch up to you.
[07:59] Fan I
    Kyoto Fushimi accelerated!
    Sohoku accelerated in pursuit, too!
[08:03] Fan J
    They're still 100 meters behind!
[08:06] Naruko
    I'll do whatever it takes to catch up
    with my original sprint climb!
[08:12] Naruko
    Come on, flashy body. Move it.
[08:16] Naruko
    I told you to wait, Dumbosuji!
[08:19] Fan K
    Wow, Sohoku is catching up!
[08:21] Fan L
    They're 80 meters behind the leader!
[08:25] Fan M
    70 meters! 60 meters!
[08:29] Fan K
    They're going to catch up!
[08:34] Sakamichi
    Naruko-kun...
[08:36] Midousuji
    Naruko's closing in.
[08:39] Midousuji
    But he won't catch up.
    He's pushing himself pretty hard.
[08:45] Midousuji
    When a body is pushed too hard,
    regardless of the mind's intentions,
[08:49] Midousuji
    it suddenly reaches its
    limit and stops moving.
[08:56] Naruko
    Dumbosuji, just a little more.
     I'm almost there.
[09:00] Naruko
    I can't give up. Move, flashy legs.
[09:05] Sakamichi
    We're 50 meters from the front.
[09:18] Sakamichi
    Naruko-kun lost consciousness...
[09:21] Midousuji
    Too bad, Naruko. You did
    good hanging on until now.
[09:27] Midousuji
    But the thread connecting one's body and mind
    is thin and prone to suddenly snapping.
[09:35] Midousuji
    Looks like I'll win our contest after all.
[09:42] Sakamichi
    He's going to fall...
[09:47] Imaizumi
    What's wrong, Naruko?
[09:51] Naruko
    Hotshot...
[09:52] Sakamichi
    That's the first time I've seen
    Imaizumi-kun carry Naruko-kun.
[10:00] Imaizumi
    Why did you suddenly stop
    pedaling and look at the ground?
[10:04] Imaizumi
    Remember what you told me?
[10:06] Imaizumi
    I thought you were burning at 300 degrees.
[10:14] Naruko
    Stupid hotshot...
[10:17] (Flashback) Koga
    Naruko...
[10:18] (Flashback) Koga
    Looks like you're working on something
    new to surprise us again this year.
[10:24] (Flashback) Naruko
    It'll be a piece of cake.
[10:26] (Flashback) Naruko
    I'll be heating things up
    this summer to 300 degrees!
[10:32] Imaizumi
    Naruko, I thought your
    body was harder than iron.
[10:38] Naruko
    You remembered that, stupid hotshot?
[10:41] Naruko
    Yeah, you can count on me.
[10:44] Naruko
    Don't rush me, hotshot.
    I've just reached 280 degrees.
[10:49] Naruko
    I'm almost there.
[10:54] Naruko
    I'm heating up to 300 degrees.
SIGN    Yowamushi Pedal
[11:06] Imaizumi
    That pathetic wobble of
    yours widened the gap again.
[11:12] Imaizumi
    We'd brought it down to 50 meters, but
    now we're about 120 meters behind again.
[11:18] Sakamichi
    Imaizumi-kun's phrasing is cold,
[11:22] Sakamichi
    but his hand is firmly supporting
    Naruko-kun so he doesn't fall.
[11:25] Sakamichi
    He's inspiring Naruko-kun.
[11:29] Imaizumi
    I thought you were going
    to pull us to the front.
[11:34] Imaizumi
    I thought you were a super express.
[11:37] Naruko
    That was a single-track section. I was just
    waitin' for the train comin' the other way.
[11:43] Naruko
    Don't underestimate the Naruko Super Express.
[11:46] Naruko
    The Naruko Super Express always
    makes good on its promises.
[11:49] Naruko
    It's got red cars and never runs late.
[11:54] Naruko
    As planned, it'll reach its
    destination right on schedule!
[11:59] Naruko
    At maximum speed...
[12:08] Imaizumi
    Naruko Shoukichi!
[12:11] Imaizumi
    The man called Naruko Shoukichi!
[12:13] Imaizumi
    The Naruko Shoukichi I know
    always overcomes all obstacles.
[12:19] Imaizumi
    He's a powerful man who
    charges straight ahead.
[12:22] Imaizumi
    Do it. Complete the final
    task you chose for yourself.
[12:31] Naruko
    Now you're talkin', hotshot.
[12:33] Naruko
    Thanks. I'll accept your
    injection of determination.
[12:38] Sakamichi
    That's the first time I've seen
    Imaizumi-kun help Naruko-kun.
[12:43] Sakamichi
    And the first time I've heard
    Naruko-kun thank Imaizumi-kun.
[12:50] Sakamichi
    We're changing, like ripples colliding
    as they expand across the water.
[12:57] Sakamichi
    Until recently, I didn't want
    Naruko-kun to jump ahead.
[13:01] Sakamichi
    I didn't want him to go any farther ahead.
[13:05] Sakamichi
    Even though the three of
    us made it this far...
[13:08] Sakamichi
    Even though we were so close
    to fulfilling our promise...
[13:13] Sakamichi
    Even though Makishima-san
    told me to dream...
[13:18] Sakamichi
    I thought if Naruko-kun rested,
[13:21] Sakamichi
    the three of us would be able to
    cross the finish line together.
[13:25] Sakamichi
    But no, that's not right anymore.
[13:30] Sakamichi
    We're changing. Every second, we're changing.
[13:37] Sakamichi
    Just as all six of us can't finish
    together as much as we'd like to,
[13:43] Sakamichi
    the three of us can't
    finish together anymore.
[13:47] Sakamichi
    Makishima-san was probably
    trying to tell me...
[13:50] (Flashback) Makishima
    So dream. Dream outrageous
    and impossible dreams.
[13:55] (Flashback) Makishima
    Sometimes you'll fail.
    Sometimes they won't come true.
[14:00] (Flashback) Makishima
    But your repeated efforts will
    draw in the people around you...
[14:10] Sakamichi
    I'm supposed to hold onto our dreams
[14:14] Sakamichi
    and turn them into the strength to
    clear new roads, and advance down them!
[14:20] Sakamichi
    Naruko-kun!
[14:23] Sakamichi
    It must be tough. It must be really tough.
[14:27] Sakamichi
    But, um, thank you for doing this.
[14:31] Sakamichi
    So let me give you all the
    determination I can, too.
[14:43] Naruko
    Thanks, Onoda-kun, hotshot.
[14:49] Naruko
    I just reached 300 degrees.
[14:54] Fan N
    Sohoku's catching up like crazy!
[14:57] Fan O
    Look! His bike doesn't have a saddle!
[14:59] Fan P
    Sohoku's red guy, Naruko,
    is dancing without a saddle! Wow!
[15:06] Imaizumi
    Naruko!
[15:07] Sakamichi
    Naruko-kun!
[15:11] Naruko
    I can feel their determination. It's crazy.
[15:17] Naruko
    It's drivin' me forward.
[15:19] Naruko
    Even though I'm strugglin'
    and nearly at my limit,
[15:22] Naruko
    I feel so powerful!
[15:31] Midousuji
    Naruko!
[15:34] Naruko
    Midousuji, I'm here. Just like you said,
    I threw away everythin' I didn't need!
[15:43] Naruko
    I threw away my bottles, my saddle,
    and even finishin' the race!
[15:48] Naruko
    I threw it all away to get here.
[15:51] Naruko
    And after throwin' it all away,
[15:54] Naruko
    the last thing remaining is the
    thing you said to throw away first.
[15:58] Naruko
    It's friendship.
[16:00] Fan Ql
    Sohoku caught up to the lead
    Kyoto Fushimi rider on the climb!
[16:10] Midousuji
    He's beside me? Right beside me?
[16:12] Midousuji
    He caught up to me?
[16:16] Midousuji
    Friendship? What?
[16:18] Midousuji
    After throwing everything away,
    he still had friendship left?
[16:22] Midousuji
    Gross, gross, gross...
[16:25] Midousuji
    He used the thing he should've
    thrown away first? What?
[16:31] Midousuji
    Is that how you caught up to me, Naruko?
[16:37] Naruko
    We caught up. Right, hotshot?
[16:42] Naruko
    Right, hotshot? We should be next to him.
[16:46] Naruko
    I can sense him. We're right
    next to Midousuji, right?
[16:52] Imaizumi
    Naruko can't see anymore.
[16:58] Imaizumi
    Yeah, we caught right up to him.
[17:02] Imaizumi
    You did well.
[17:04] Imaizumi
    Thank you.
[17:06] Naruko
    I'm glad... to hear... that.
[17:13] Fan R
    #3 is falling back after all that hard work.
[17:15] Fan S
    They're letting him rest in the back.
[17:18] Fan R
    Wait, no. They didn't send him back.
[17:24] Sakamichi
    Thank you, Naruko-kun.
[17:27] Naruko
    We caught up. We really caught up.
[17:31] Naruko
    I did it. I really did it.
[17:34] Naruko
    I've got nothing left.
[17:40] Naruko
    My hands, my legs, my toes...
[17:44] Naruko
    I've used everything up.
[17:47] Naruko
    I feel so fulfilled.
[18:01] Naruko
    Hotshot, Onoda-kun, take this
    with you to the finish line.
[18:10] Naruko
    An injection of determination from me.
[18:16] Naruko
    Go all-out, and make it flashy.
[18:22] Midousuji
    You didn't even spare a glance for
    your friend when he dropped out
[18:26] Midousuji
    just before the finish line?
[18:28] Midousuji
    I thought friends were supposed to rush
    to their side and ask if they're okay.
[18:31] Midousuji
    I thought friends cried and
    screamed out of sadness.
[18:35] Imaizumi
    Naruko wouldn't want that.
[18:38] Imaizumi
    Don't look back. Head toward the finish line.
[18:41] Imaizumi
    That's Naruko's last wish.
[18:50] Imaizumi
    Attack all you want. I'll stop you.
[18:54] Imaizumi
    And I'll cross the finish line before you,
[18:58] Imaizumi
    as our team's ace.
[19:00] Midousuji
    You'll stop me?
[19:02] Midousuji
    You were so weak last year.
[19:05] Midousuji
    I thought you'd grown a little after a year,
[19:10] Midousuji
    but you made errors in judgment,
    chirped like a baby, and broke again this year.
[19:15] Midousuji
    You groaned and gasped in surprise.
[19:18] Midousuji
    You haven't changed at all,
    but you think you can stop me?
[19:25] Fan T
    Sohoku and Kyoto Fushimi collided!
[19:27] Fan U
    They're raring to go!
[19:29] Midousuji
    Hitting him with his handlebars
    didn't make him falter.
[19:32] Midousuji
    Wimpy little Groanizumi!
[19:34] Imaizumi
    What's the matter?
[19:38] Imaizumi
    Bring it on.
[19:40] Imaizumi
    We're at the front of the race.
[19:42] Imaizumi
    The front of the race
    is always a battlefield.
[19:46] Imaizumi
    Let's tear each other apart, Midousuji.
[19:51] Sakamichi
    Imaizumi-kun's body is emitting
    some kind of pressure.
[19:55] Sakamichi
    It's so strong.
[19:59] Midousuji
    Groanizumi, what is this pressure?
[20:03] Midousuji
    You look like you've just
    been released from the limits
[20:07] Midousuji
    that had been restraining you.
[20:11] Midousuji
    In that case, shall we go?
[20:14] Midousuji
    Either way, the only way to win
[20:17] Midousuji
    is to either outsmart you or
    pull ahead by brute force.
[20:23] Midousuji
    Gross!
SIGN    Inter-High Road Race
[20:32] Official
    We'll be restricting traffic shortly.
[20:35] Official
    The riders will be arriving soon.
[20:37] Official
    Please don't enter the course.
SIGN    Tadokoro Bakery
[20:40] Official
    Private vehicle in front, please hurry.
[20:44] Tadokoro
    I'm glad we got here just before
    they started restricting traffic.
[20:49] Makishima
    You cut it too close.
[20:51] Makishima
    I thought we'd be stuck cheering
    from up there until the end.
[20:56] Tadokoro
    You can't miss the finish.
[21:01] Tadokoro
    After all, it's the culmination
    of all their efforts.
[21:05] Kinjou
    Yeah, win or lose.
[21:10] Makishima
    Don't make it sound so sad.
[21:12] Makishima
    At least dream with them. Dreaming is free.
[21:19] Kinjou
    You don't often talk about dreams, Makishima.
[21:25] Makishima
    What can I say? Those three were dreamers.
[21:29] Makishima
    Onoda, Naruko, and Imaizumi...
[21:33] Makishima
    Those three always shrieking and squabbling.
[21:36] Makishima
    They kept facing forward
    when the going got tough
[21:39] Makishima
    and worked together to find solutions.
[21:42] Makishima
    They were always dreaming outrageous dreams.
[21:46] Makishima
    And they passed that on to me.
[21:51] Makishima
    It's too bad about Naruko, though.
[21:55] Makishima
    But he probably conveyed
    his hopes to the other two
[21:58] Makishima
    and gave them a push,
    trusting his dreams to them.
[22:02] Tadokoro
    Yeah, no doubt about it.
[22:08] Makishima
    In the end, you didn't get to see
    the finish this year either, Naruko.
[22:14] Makishima
    But knowing you, you probably
    collapsed after exhausting yourself.
[22:21] Makishima
    I'll say it again. Impressive work, Naruko.
[22:33] Kinjou
    Stop the car, Tadokoro.
[22:35] Tadokoro
    Huh?
[22:37] Tadokoro
    What is it, Kinjou?
[22:40] Kinjou
    I saw someone I know from college.
