    The real race starts now, guys!
[02:41] Sugimoto
    The training camp and our
    practices were all for this day.
[02:45] Sugimoto
    We won't be riding the day of the Inter-High,
    but our team can't ride without us.
[02:51] Sugimoto
    Hold your heads high, first-years.
[02:53] Sugimoto
    We are the team's support.
[02:55] Sugimoto
    Yes, we are the seventh member
    of the Inter-High team.
[02:58] All
    Yes, sir.
[02:59] Sugimoto
    Ask me if you have any questions.
    Ask me anything.
[03:03] All
    Yes, sir.
[03:04] Sugimoto
    That's right. After all, I was
    at the Inter-High last year.
[03:08] Sadatoki
    My brother's so cool.
[03:12] Aya
    That happy guy is really taking charge.
[03:15] Miki
    Yeah. Since Sugimoto-kun's a hard worker,
    the first-years listen to him.
[03:19] Aya
    The bicycle team is pumped.
[03:22] Aya
    After all, they're going to the Inter-High.
[03:26] Aya
    Hey.
[03:29] Sakamichi
    T-Tachibana-san?
[03:30] Sakamichi
    You're Kanzaki-san's friend.
[03:32] Sakamichi
    What are you doing here?
[03:33] Aya
    Took you long enough to notice.
[03:34] Aya
    You finally remembered my name, huh?
[03:36] Sakamichi
    S-Sorry.
[03:38] Aya
    The tennis club lost in the
    Inter-High qualifier.
[03:41] Aya
    I didn't have any plans for summer break,
[03:43] Aya
    so I emailed Miki to say I was
    thinking about coming to cheer on the
[03:46] Aya
    bicycle club again this year.
[03:47] Miki
    "Want to take the bus with us this year?"
[03:50] Aya
    And she invited me along.
[03:52] Aya
    I got Teshima-senpai's permission.
[03:54] Sakamichi
    Really?
[03:55] Miki
    You'll be working hard to earn your place.
[03:57] Aya
    Yikes, you're strict.
[03:59] Aya
    Anyway, I thought I'd watch you ride again.
[04:04] Sakamichi
    What?
[04:06] Aya
    It's hot, but good luck.
[04:09] Sakamichi
    G-Good...
[04:11] Miki
    You told him exactly how you felt, Aya-chan.
[04:13] Aya
    D-Don't say it like that.
[04:15] Aya
    He'll think it means something.
[04:17] Aya
    Stop smiling. Stop clapping.
[04:20] Miki
    Onoda-kun doesn't know how to react.
[04:22] Imaizumi
    We're here.

    and it's still morning!
[04:38] Fan A
    It's so hot.
[04:43] Aya
    Are they the press?
[04:44] Aya
    Wow.
[04:46] Kaburagi
    Seriously? Whoa.
[04:49] Kaburagi
    Hey, what's their problem?
SIGN    Kanagawa Prefecture

    Hakone Academy High School.
[05:08] Press A
    They're coming out.
[05:09] Press B
    They're here.
[05:10] Press C
    The absolute champions,
    Hakone Academy High School!
[05:13] Fan B
    Their captain, Izumida, grew his hair out.
[05:16] Fan C
    They're so intense.
[05:18] Press D
    Look this way, please.
[05:19] Fan D
    Ashikiba's huge.
[05:20] Fan E
    It's Kuroda.
[05:21] Fan E
    He swept the newbie races as a first-year.
[05:24] Kuroda
    There's more press here than we expected.
[05:27] Kuroda
    Who said there wouldn't be so many since
    we placed second last year, Touichirou?
[05:32] Izumida
    It's the champion's destiny, Yuki.
[05:35] Doubashi
    I'm Doubashi. Take pictures of me.
[05:38] Doubashi
    I'm Hakone Academy High School's
    next fastest man.

    Forget it.

[05:50] Girl B
    He looked this way!
[05:52] Girl C
    Hold that pose!
[05:53] Kuroda
    You're popular, Manami.
[05:56] Manami
    I wonder why.
[05:58] Cameraman
    Huh?

    One, two, three... One's missing.

    Wait up, reporters!
[06:15] Press
    Izumida-kun, could you look this way again?
[06:19] Naruko
    Hey, come on. We're the
    ones who won last year.
[06:22] Naruko
    Come and get us. Have you forgotten
    last year's fierce battle?
[06:27] Naruko
    Sohoku High School's right here.
[06:29] Naruko
    The flashiest man around is right here.
[06:31] Naruko
    Who cares about
     Hakone Academy High School? Hey!
[06:34] Aya
    We won last year, right?
[06:36] Sakamichi
    Uh, yeah.
[06:38] Miki
    Aya-chan, weren't you watching?
[06:41] Naruko
    I knew it.
[06:42] Imaizumi
    That's just how it is, Naruko.
[06:45] Imaizumi
    The press's actions tell us exactly
    what everyone thinks of us.
[06:49] Naruko
    I know.
[06:51] Naruko
    Bring it on.
[06:53] Naruko
    In other words, we don't stand out enough.
[06:56] Teshima
    Anytime you reach great heights,
    people always say the first time is a fluke.
[07:01] Teshima
    You have to win twice before
    they'll acknowledge you.
[07:04] Koga
    We can do it. I'll support
    you with all my might.
[07:11] Teshima
    Let's win again this year.
[07:13] All
    Yeah!
[07:19] Club A
    Murakami, the wheels go over there.
[07:20] Club B
    Okay.
[07:21] Club C
    I told you to tidy up the
    upperclassmen's shoes.
[07:23] Naruko
    All the teams are here.
[07:26] Naruko
    There are tons of teams. They're raring to go.
[07:28] Kaburagi
    I expect no less from the Inter-High.
[07:30] Naruko
    Teams from all over the country are here.
[07:33] Sakamichi
    The entire country...
[07:34] Naruko
    They've put their lives on the line
    for this day, for just three days.
[07:39] Naruko
    Of course they have.
[07:41] Naruko
    All their hopes from the past
    year are riding on this race.
[07:47] Naruko
    Oh, right. Teshima-san...
[07:48] Teshima
    What is it?
[07:49] Naruko
    After we check in and get our number tags,
    I need to disappear to take care of something.
[07:54] Teshima
    Something?
[07:57] Naruko
    Just some minor business.
SIGN    Chiba Sohoku High School
[08:00] Sakamichi
    I'm nervous.
[08:03] Sakamichi
    No, wait. Kaburagi-kun must
    be more nervous than me.
[08:07] Sakamichi
    I should smile and talk
    to him like a real senior.
[08:10] Sakamichi
    K-Kaburagi-kun, aren't you nervous?
    Last year, I...
[08:16] Sakamichi
    Huh? Kaburagi-kun's not here.
[08:19] Imaizumi
    You mean the showoff?
    He's off at the usual place.
[08:24] Kaburagi
    Aw, crap...
SIGN    Kanagawa Hakone Academy High School
[08:30] Fan F
    Wow, that's new.
[08:32] Fan G
    Of course.
[08:34] Fan G
    This year's are assigned
    based on last year's results.
[08:38] Fan F
    The perennial champions, Hakone Academy...
[08:41] Fan G
    ...are wearing two-digit tags.
[08:49] Teshima
    Make sure they're secured with safety pins.
[08:51] Imaizumi
    Got it.
[08:52] Teshima
    Onoda!
[08:53] Sakamichi
    Yes, sir.
[08:56] Sakamichi
    What?
[09:01] Naruko
    What do you think of this?
[09:02] Naruko
    I knew these were coming, but just
    look at these single-digit tags!
[09:05] Naruko
    I'm super hyped now!
[09:08] Naruko
    Take a picture of me, manager.
[09:09] Naruko
    Get a real good shot.
[09:12] Miki
    Okay.
[09:13] Naruko
    This is seriously awesome.
[09:13] Aya
    They're so excited.
[09:14] Naruko
    Look, hotshot. Single digits.
[09:15] Aya
    Are single-digit tags that big a deal?
[09:16] Imaizumi
    Shut up. I know.
[09:17] Imaizumi
    I have one, too.
[09:18] Miki
    Yeah. Look.
[09:19] Miki
    The other teams have
    two or three-digit tags.
[09:22] Aya
    You're right.
[09:23] Miki
    The number on the left represents
    their approximate rank last year.
[09:27] Miki
    The single digit tags
    mean they won last year.
[09:31] Aya
    Huh.
[09:32] Miki
    The number on the right is
    their rank within their team.
[09:35] Miki
    Since each team has six riders,
    they range from one to six.
[09:39] Miki
    One is a special number.
    It's the ace's number.
[09:43] Aya
    Cycling is interesting.
[09:45] Miki
    Isn't it?
[09:47] Sakamichi
    Um, Teshima-san...
[09:50] Sakamichi
    This tag...
[09:51] Teshima
    Why not? I think it looks good on you.
[09:54] Sakamichi
    But isn't this Imaizumi-kun's?
[09:58] Imaizumi
    Huh?
[09:59] Teshima
    Every race is the same.
[10:01] Teshima
    When the previous winner rides again,
    he's given that tag.
[10:06] Teshima
    It's a symbol of victory.
[10:09] Teshima
    The #1 tag.
[10:14] Teshima
    It's a symbol of victory.
[10:16] Teshima
    The #1 tag.
[10:20] Sakamichi
    I'm... #1.
[10:24] Teshima
    If last year's winner was a third-year who's
    since graduated, its meaning may be different.
[10:29] Aoyagi
    Good.
[10:31] Imaizumi
    You earned that number when Kinjou-san,
    Tadokoro-san, Makishima-san,
[10:35] Imaizumi
    Naruko, and I entrusted
    you with our hopes last year,
[10:38] Imaizumi
    and you took them to the finish line.
[10:43] Sakamichi
    Imaizumi-kun...
[10:45] Imaizumi
    Onoda, you'll be carrying
    all our hopes as you ride.
[10:50] Imaizumi
    Hold your head high.
[10:58] Sakamichi
    Got it.
[11:00] Teshima
    Kaburagi's still not back.
[11:03] Teshima
    Where's Naruko?
[11:05] Imaizumi
    He just headed that way.
[11:07] Teshima
    Come to think of it, didn't he say he
    had some minor business to take care of?

    Excuse me for a second.
[11:16] Kyofushi
    Who the hell are you?
[11:17] Naruko
    Don't mind me.
[11:20] Naruko
    It's been a while.
[11:21] Naruko
    Haven't seen you since
    last winter, Midousuji.
[11:28] Midousuji
    Well, well, well, well, well, well, well...
[11:31] Midousuji
    If it isn't Chiba's redhead.
[11:35] Midousuji
    What are you doing here?
    Cheering us on?
[11:37] Naruko
    I'm here to race on my bike.
[11:39] Mizuta
    Hey, this is the
    Kyoto Fushimi High School tent!
[11:42] Mizuta
    I, Captain Mizuta, will deal
    with any outsiders who—
[11:46] Midousuji
    I thought you quit sprinting
    after losing to me.
[11:52] Midousuji
    So why are you still riding your bike?
[11:56] Naruko
    I love my bike and my friends above all else.
[11:59] Naruko
    That's the kind of man Naruko Shoukichi is.
[12:03] Midousuji
    Nonsense.
[12:04] Midousuji
    Friends? Race?
[12:08] Midousuji
    Race who?
[12:10] Naruko
    You, Idiotsuji.
[12:13] Yamaguchi
    He's not backing down from
    Midousuji-kun's pressure.
[12:16] Yamaguchi
    They raced each other in Osaka a while back.
[12:19] Yamaguchi
    Midousuji-kun's pressure has been so
    great lately, even I recoil from him,
[12:24] Yamaguchi
    and we're on the same team.
[12:27] Mizuta
    We can't promise that! Get out of—
[12:30] Midousuji
    Sure.
[12:31] Mizuta
    Midousuji-kun?
[12:33] Midousuji
    After all, you're the one who made me fly.
[12:38] Midousuji
    I'll race you.
[12:41] Midousuji
    However, you'll only get
    one chance.
[12:45] Midousuji
    Don't miss it.
[12:48] Naruko
    That's plenty. Thanks.
[12:50] Naruko
    Later.
[12:54] Naruko
    Oh, right. Let me tell you something.
[12:56] Naruko
    If you're thinking about
    pulling ahead of me on a climb,
[12:58] Naruko
    since I'm stronger on the flats,
[13:00] Naruko
    don't waste your time.
[13:03] Naruko
    This year...
[13:05] Naruko
    I switched to being an all-rounder.
[13:08] All
    What?
[13:10] Naruko
    See you later.
[13:12] Midousuji
    Rooster head's an all-rounder?
[13:16] Midousuji
    That gives me a good idea.

[13:22] Announce
    All participants,
    please gather around the stage.
[13:25] Kaburagi
    Crap! I can't do it!
    I can't hold it in anymore!
[13:27] Kaburagi
    I'm going to poop my pants!
[13:28] Kaburagi
    Oh, come on! Why does my stomach
    have to do this at the Inter-High?
[13:32] Kaburagi
    I can't hold it anymore! Hurry up!
[13:37] Kaburagi
    It's open.
[13:39] Doubashi
    Quit banging on the door!
[13:43] Kaburagi
    Huh?
[13:44] Doubashi
    I hope you knew you were
    banging on the door of
[13:47] Doubashi
    Hakone Academy's
    next fastest man, Doubashi-sama!
[13:50] Club A
    Crap, it's Doubashi.
[13:53] Club B
    From Hakone?
[13:53] Club A
    Let's go.
[13:53] Doubashi
    Hey, you!
[13:54] Club B
    Y-Yeah.
[13:55] Kaburagi
    What?
[13:56] Doubashi
    I'm talking to you, orange head!
[14:02] Kaburagi
    Let me take a dump first!
[14:14] Kaburagi
    Okay, now let's talk.
[14:15] Doubashi
    Quit sparkling! You've got some nerve!
[14:18] Doubashi
    You were shouting at me while you
    knocked on my door, weren't you?
[14:23] Kaburagi
    Sorry about that.
[14:26] Doubashi
    Before every race, I go someplace
    isolated to focus myself.
[14:32] Doubashi
    But you...
[14:33] (Flashback) Kaburagi
    Come out! Just come out already!
[14:34] (Flashback) Kaburagi
    One more second!
[14:35] (Flashback) Kaburagi
    I'll hate you forever! I'll curse you to death!
[14:36] (Flashback) Kaburagi
    Just come out!
[14:37] (Flashback) Kaburagi
    Come out already, you pig!
[14:40] Doubashi
    You distracted me! Who are
    you calling a pig, huh?
[14:43] Kaburagi
    Sorry. I was having an emergency,
    so I let that slip out.
[14:48] Doubashi
    Slip out, my ass! How did
    your parents raise you?
[14:51] Kaburagi
    What?
[14:55] Doubashi
    That jersey...
    You're from Sohoku High School.
[14:57] Doubashi
    You're a Chiba country bumpkin.
[14:59] Kaburagi
    What?
[15:00] Doubashi
    Don't let your lucky
    victory go to your head.
[15:05] Both
    You wanna fight, huh?
[15:08] Kaburagi
    He's fast.
[15:10] Kaburagi
    He reacted the moment I reached out my hand.
[15:14] Kaburagi
    He's fast, even though he's big.
[15:17] Doubashi
    I haven't seen this orange head
     on Sohoku's team before.
[15:21] Doubashi
    He must be a first-year. He's got some nerve.
[15:24] Doubashi
    He hasn't taken a step back,
    even though I grabbed him.
[15:28] Kaburagi
    It wasn't luck that Sohoku High School won.
[15:30] Kaburagi
    Take it back, pig.
[15:32] Doubashi
    How could it have been anything but luck
[15:34] Doubashi
    that let your skinny Onoda
    kid win at the very end?
[15:40] Kaburagi
    Onoda-san is strong!
[15:41] Doubashi
    You just think he's strong!
[15:43] Kaburagi
    What?
[15:44] Doubashi
    There are two types of truth.
[15:46] Doubashi
    The real truth, and the lie that
    people are convinced is the truth.
[15:51] Doubashi
    He's the latter.
[15:52] Doubashi
    He's wearing a crown he
    won through sheer luck,
[15:54] Doubashi
    but everyone's too scared
    to doing anything about it.
[15:57] Kaburagi
    You're wrong!
[15:58] Doubashi
    Have you ever tested him?
[16:00] Doubashi
    Have you ever really raced him?
[16:03] Doubashi
    He disguises himself as
    an Inter-High champion.
[16:05] Doubashi
    Everyone fawns over him
    and thinks he's amazing.
[16:09] Doubashi
    Is he actually strong?
[16:11] Doubashi
    Is he stronger than everyone
    else you've ever met?
[16:18] Kaburagi
    No, I know how he rides!
[16:21] Kaburagi
    I saw him on Mt. Fuji at
    last year's Inter-High!
[16:24] Kaburagi
    He's the real thing!
[16:26] Kaburagi
    He's the reason I abandoned the other schools
    and chose to come to Sohoku High School!
[16:31] Doubashi
    Are you sure you're not just viewing
    things through a self-imposed filter?
[16:35] Kaburagi
    What?
[16:36] Doubashi
    Sohoku High School is strong.
    At least, they should be.
[16:40] Doubashi
    They have to be strong.
[16:42] Doubashi
    Otherwise, the path you've followed
[16:45] Doubashi
    and all your work would be meaningless.
[16:58] Doubashi
    Face the truth, orange kid.
[17:02] Doubashi
    Hakone Academy High School has
    the most members of any team.
[17:05] Doubashi
    No one can compare to how much we practice.
[17:08] Doubashi
    Who's stronger? There's only one truth.
[17:11] Doubashi
    The strongest team...
[17:14] Doubashi
    ...is us, Hakone Academy High School!
[17:16] Kaburagi
    The strongest...
[17:22] Kaburagi
    There's only one truth.
[17:26] Doubashi
    The strongest are chosen at the Inter-High.
[17:29] Doubashi
    Participants are measured and screened.
[17:32] Doubashi
    This hot, long, and harsh race all
    comes down to how much you train.
[17:37] Doubashi
    Overwhelming physical and mental strength...

    The reinstatement of Hakone Academy
    High School as the champions.
[17:47] (Flashback) Izumida
    It's what we must do one week
    from now at the Inter-High.
[17:53] (Flashback) Izumida
    There's no need to let any
    threats stay in the race.
[17:56] (Flashback) Izumida
    Keep a close eye on them and push them out.
[18:00] (Flashback) Izumida
    There's no need to hold back.
[18:02] (Flashback) Doubashi
    Push them out, huh? Sure, I'll do it.
[18:06] (Flashback) Doubashi
    In the name of Hakone Academy
    High School, I'll do it.
[18:11] Doubashi
    How many can I get on the first day?
[18:17] Sakamichi
    He's back. Kaburagi-kun!
[18:21] Kaburagi
    Onoda-san...
[18:22] Sakamichi
    Is your stomach okay?
[18:24] Sakamichi
    You should warm up a little bit.
[18:28] Kaburagi
    This guy...
[18:31] Sakamichi
    Do you want to take some medicine?
[18:32] Sakamichi
    The race is starting soon.
[18:34] Sakamichi
    The opening ceremony is being
    held at the stage over there.
[18:36] Sakamichi
    Should I go get you some medicine?
[18:39] Naruko
    Onoda-kun!
[18:40] Naruko
    What are you doing?
[18:41] Sakamichi
    Sorry, sorry.
[18:43] Naruko
    Are you okay?
[18:43] Kaburagi
    Is this guy actually strong?
[18:45] Naruko
    Here, I'll help.
[18:46] Sakamichi
    Th-Thanks, Naruko-kun.
[18:50] Mc
    Welcome last year's champions, representing
    Chiba prefecture, Sohoku High School.

[18:58] Sadatoki
    Winning really is amazing.
[19:00] Sadatoki
    They're going onstage.

[19:04] Danchiku
    Yeah.

[19:34] Man B

[19:35] Man C
    Stand out again this year!
[19:37] Imaizumi
    All your fans are dudes.
[19:39] Naruko
    Shut up! What's wrong with that?
[19:42] Mc
    Let's not forget about this man.
[19:46] Mc
    Last year's general classification
    Inter-High champion.
[19:49] Mc
    Despite being new to road racing,
    he climbed all the way to the top.
[19:53] Mc
    Bearer of number tag #1.
[19:54] Mc
    The little climber, Onoda Sakamichi.
[19:58] Mc
    Your dramatic riding during the final stage
    of last year's third day was fantastic.
[20:03] Mc
    Could you give us a few words?
[20:04] Sakamichi
    What? Uh, um... h-hello...
[20:08] Sakamichi
    I'm Onyoda Chakamichi!
[20:12] Kaburagi
    I...
[20:14] Mc
    What are your goals for this year?
[20:16] Sakamichi
    Th-This year?
[20:19] Sakamichi
    This year I've been going
    to Akiba every Thursday...
[20:21] Naruko
    Onoda-kun, the audience already loves you!
[20:24] Kaburagi
    It's true that I didn't see
    all of last year's race.
[20:24] Mc
    I meant your goals for the race.
[20:27] Sakamichi
    Oh, my goals.
[20:29] Sakamichi
    Well, I...
[20:30] Mc
    You don't need to hold the mic.
[20:32] Kaburagi
    I didn't actually see how he
    rode during the Inter-High.
[20:38] Sakamichi
    I'll do my best, and... yeah,
    I'll do my best at the end.
[20:39] Kaburagi
    Is he actually strong?
[20:44] Sakamichi
    Oh, uh, is that enough?
[20:46] Kaburagi
    Is this team...
[20:47] Mc
    Finally, there's first-year Kaburagi Issa.
[20:51] Kaburagi
    ...actually strong?
[20:54] Doubashi
    I've trained harder than everyone else.
[20:57] Doubashi
    I'll knock them aside.
[20:59] Doubashi
    It'll be easy.
[21:01] Izumida
    You're doing well, Doubashi,
    but don't go too hard.
[21:05] Izumida
    Our mechanic was crying about it.
[21:08] Izumida
    I heard you bent another one out of shape,
[21:10] Izumida
    even though he just swapped it out yesterday.
[21:13] Doubashi
    The handlebars were too weak.
[21:16] Doubashi
    They can't withstand the
    power of my sprinting.
[21:19] Reporter A
    He's only on rollers,
    but he's still intimidating.
[21:21] Reporter B
    I heard he's won all the sprint races
    he's participated in this year.
[21:26] Reporter A
    Yeah, apparently it's unprecedented.
[21:29] Reporter A
    They call him the Monster of the Road.
[21:32] Reporter
    Road Monster Doubashi!
[21:36] Doubashi
    No one stands a chance against me!
[23:12] Girl B
    He looked this way!
[23:13] Girl C
    Hold that pose!
[23:15] Kuroda
    He sure does have a lot of fans.
[23:17] Kuroda
    He might have more than
    Toudou-san did last year.
[23:20] Doubashi
    Manami, make them shut up!
[23:22] Doubashi
    I can't focus!
[23:24] Manami
    What?
[23:25] Manami
    Oh.
[23:32] Kuroda
    Why did you make them louder?
