    Wash them.
[00:05] Komari
    Always.
[00:07] Komari
    I wash them...
[00:13] Komari
    I always wash my hands before riding you.
[00:20] Komari
    When I touch you with the honed nerves
    of my hands, I see right through you.
[00:26] Komari
    I understand you better.
[00:30] Komari
    I'll be riding you a lot today.
[00:32] Komari
    After all, it's the Inter-High.

[02:10] Hironishi
    It's already starting.
[02:12] Hironishi
    Why is the masseuse riding, but I'm out?
[02:16] (Flashback) Midousuji
    You have a lot of friends,
    don't you? That's why.
[02:20] (Flashback) Hironishi
    What?
[02:21] (Flashback) Midousuji
    You told all your friends you'd
    be riding in the Inter-High.
[02:27] (Flashback) Hironishi
    Of course I did. It's an honor.
[02:30] (Flashback) Hironishi
    Everyone wants to ride in the Inter-High.

[02:33] (Flashback) Hironishi
    My tag is #116.
[02:35] (Flashback) Hironishi
    You told me I was the sixth man.
[02:37] (Flashback) Midousuji
    Because I knew you'd tell everyone.
[02:42] (Flashback) Midousuji
    Everyone must've thought
[02:44] (Flashback) Midousuji
    this year's Kyoto Fushimi High School
    was so weak that even you made the cut.
[02:50] (Flashback) Hironishi
    My parents came all the
    way from Kyoto to watch.
[02:53] (Flashback) Hironishi
    My friends came to cheer me on, too.
[02:55] (Flashback) Midousuji
    That's your own doing.
[02:58] (Flashback) Midousuji
    This is strategy.
[03:00] (Flashback) Hironishi
    Strat—
[03:02] (Flashback) Midousuji
    Alternates can be subbed
    in at the last second.
[03:05] (Flashback) Midousuji
    The system's designed to prevent sick
    or injured members from riding, but...
[03:11] (Flashback) Hironishi
    I'm fine!
[03:13] (Flashback) Midousuji
    You're weaker than a Zaku.
[03:16] (Flashback) Midousuji
    You're always falling behind in practice.
    You could never keep up.
[03:20] (Flashback) Midousuji
    Did you think you were strong
    enough to ride on my team?
[03:26] (Flashback) Hironishi
    I thought I had some hidden
    talent or something.
[03:31] (Flashback) Midousuji
    That's why you'll never be more than a Zaku.
[03:36] (Flashback) Midousuji
    How naïve.
[03:38] (Flashback) Midousuji
    I'll use Komari-kun during the race.
[03:41] (Flashback) Midousuji
    Your job is finished. Over.
[03:45] (Flashback) Midousuji
    Haven't I always told you?
[03:49] (Flashback) Midousuji

    Hironishi seemed depressed.
[04:02] Yamaguchi
    Did you know he'd be kicked off the team?
[04:05] Mizuta
    No.
[04:06] Mizuta
    Anyway, all Komari ever
    does is massage people.
[04:11] Mizuta
    Can he really ride a bike?
[04:24] Rider 1
    He's fast.
[04:26] Rider 2
    His form is beautiful, too.
[04:28] Rider 1
    Yeah. Wait, this is no time for that.
[04:31] Rider 1
    He's our opponent, too.
[04:32] Rider 2
    Kyoto Fushimi High School
    seemed like an army last year,
[04:36] Rider 2
    but now they've got guys like him.
[04:38] Rider 2
    The way he rides is rhythmical.
[04:40] Rider 2
    It's like he's been set loose.
[04:45] Komari
    The 1.5 kilometer road encircling
    the Inter-High grounds...
[04:49] Komari
    Participants are using it to warm up.
[04:51] Komari
    He must be among them.
[04:56] Komari
    Anyway, I feel great.
[04:58] Komari
    I think I'll be able to hear
    plenty of your voice today.
[05:07] Komari
    There he is!
[05:08] Komari
    Calm down. The race hasn't started yet.
[05:11] Komari
    Approach quietly. Quietly.
[05:14] Komari
    Quietly approach him and nonchalantly touch him.
[05:18] Sugimoto
    I'm honored you invited me
    to ride with you, Imaizumi.
[05:23] Sugimoto
    I know you're just warming up,
[05:25] Sugimoto
    but I can't believe we're riding
    together at the Inter-High grounds.
[05:29] Imaizumi
    It could've been anyone.
[05:31] Sugimoto
    What?
[05:32] Imaizumi
    Teshima-san said it wouldn't be good if
    something happened while I was riding alone,
[05:36] Imaizumi
    so he told me to go with someone.
[05:37] Sugimoto
    Y-You're right. Problems can be difficult
    to handle when you're riding alone.
[05:41] Sugimoto
    You can count on me.
    Problems are something I've—
[05:44] Imaizumi
    You seemed the least busy.
[05:46] Sugimoto
    What?
[05:48] Sugimoto
    It's still an honor, though.
[05:50] Sugimoto
    Sugimoto Terufumi has never been
    more honored in his life, Imaizumi.
[05:55] Sugimoto
    You chose me during a time as important
    as just before the Inter-High.
[05:58] Sugimoto
    You're strong, Imaizumi.
[06:02] Sugimoto
    Sometimes, I think about the amazing guys
    on our team, including Naruko and Onoda.
[06:09] Sugimoto
    On top of that, we're in the same class.
[06:12] Sugimoto
    It must be a miracle.
[06:16] Sugimoto
    Since I lost to Kaburagi that day,
    I can't ride in the Inter-High.
[06:21] Sugimoto
    But during that first-year race,
    you told me to hold my head high.
[06:26] Sugimoto
    I failed to accomplish anything, but rather
    than scolding me, that's what you said.
[06:31] Sugimoto
    I've been thinking since that day.
[06:34] Sugimoto
    I worked hard because I was
    influenced by you and Onoda.
[06:38] Sugimoto
    Maybe, just maybe my riding—
    and this may be brazen of me—
[06:45] Sugimoto
    But maybe I'm influencing you
    and Onoda just a little bit.
[06:51] Sugimoto
    It builds up over time.
    This warm up could be part of it.
[06:55] Sugimoto
    And if it helps you during the Inter-High...
[06:59] Sugimoto
    Then I have no regrets.
[07:01] Sugimoto
    I'm proud of myself.
[07:04] Sugimoto
    Go ride your heart out, Imaizumi.
[07:08] Imaizumi
    That hurts. Where did that come from?
[07:10] Sugimoto
    Huh? What?
[07:13] Sugimoto
    Sorry. I guess you could say it's my dream.
[07:15] Sugimoto
    I got carried away.
[07:17] Imaizumi
    I'm joking.
[07:19] Imaizumi
    You've definitely moved me.
[07:23] Sugimoto
    What?
[07:24] Imaizumi
    You can count on me.
[07:28] Imaizumi
    Kyoto Fushimi High School?
    I didn't notice him.
[07:36] Sugimoto
    Imaizumi!
[07:43] Komari
    You're Imaizumi-san.
[07:45] Komari
    I heard you did a lot last year.
[07:48] Komari
    I've heard about you.
[07:50] Komari
    I'm glad we got to meet.
[07:53] Imaizumi
    Has this guy always been on the
    Kyoto Fushimi High School team?
[07:56] Imaizumi
    Is he a first-year?
[07:57] Komari
    I'm sorry. I was so delighted,
    I lost my balance.
[08:02] Komari
    I let out a moan. His muscles are nice.
[08:05] Komari
    But...
[08:06] Komari
    Are you not feeling well?
[08:08] Sugimoto
    Wh-What's wrong with you? Imaizumi's
    always in perfect shape.
[08:13] Sugimoto
    How rude.
[08:16] Komari
    It was rough.
[08:18] Komari
    Am I right?
[08:21] Sugimoto
    I told you...
[08:23] Komari
    See you at the starting line.

    Yeah.
[08:49] Teshima
    But don't you...
[08:51] Higashido
    The volleyball team lost.
[08:53] Higashido
    We made it pretty far, but we were
    still a long way from nationals.
[08:58] Teshima
    I see.
[09:00] Higashido
    I'm jealous.
[09:03] Higashido
    That you get to fight at nationals,
    and in your final, third year.
[09:08] Higashido
    My time in a club is over.
[09:11] Higashido
    Good luck, Teshima.
[09:14] Higashido
    You're a star.
[09:16] Higashido
    I quit the Minami Middle School bicycle club
    we rode in to join the volleyball club.
[09:21] Higashido
    You kept riding.
[09:23] Higashido
    It must've been hard to become a
    regular on a team that won nationals.
[09:27] Higashido
    But you bounced back. It's amazing.
[09:31] Higashido
    Don't feel bad about it.
[09:33] Higashido
    I know you haven't accomplished much,
    but I believe from the bottom of my heart...

    You're the star of Minami Middle School.

    I accomplish something.

    What? That's Ashikiba?

    Well, if it isn't Ashikiba.
[10:17] Higashido
    Man, it's been a while.
[10:20] Higashido
    It's me. We rode together on the
    Minami Middle School bicycle team.

    This brings back memories.
    You're still riding?

    You're a regular there?
[10:37] Ashikiba
    Sorry, who are you?
[10:42] Higashido
    It's Higashido. My nickname was Higashimaru.
[10:46] Higashido
    Remember when your saddle
    fell off during practice?
[10:49] Higashido
    I fixed it for you.
[10:50] Ashikiba
    Oh, that Machida-kun.
[10:52] Higashido
    Yeah—no, not Machida.
[10:55] Higashido
    He barely ever came to practice.
[10:58] Ashikiba
    Oh, Machida-kun.
[10:59] Ashikiba
    This brings back memories.
[11:00] Ashikiba
    You haven't changed, Machida-kun.
[11:02] Higashido
    You remembered my name completely wrong.
[11:06] Higashido
    Well, whatever. As long as you remember me.

    Shikiba...
[11:11] Higashido
    Come here. Let's take a picture together.
[11:16] Ashikiba
    Sorry, Machida-kun. Since we're
    enemies, I can't go any closer.
[11:24] Ashikiba
    Overthrowing Sohoku High School is our mission.
[11:28] Higashido
    Oh, right. Last year,
    Hakone Academy High School...
[11:32] Ashikiba
    I'll beat you.
[11:34] Ashikiba
    That's all I came to say.
[11:37] Teshima
    I see.
[11:39] Ashikiba
    Jun-chan, you said we'd
    conquer the world together.
[11:45] Ashikiba
    But sorry. Only one of us
    can win at this Inter-High.
[11:52] Ashikiba
    We can't do it together.
[11:57] Teshima
    I guess not, since we're on different teams.
[12:01] Ashikiba
    It'll be Hakone Academy High School.
[12:03] Teshima
    I can't allow that.
[12:07] Teshima
    Good luck to both of us.
[12:14] Ashikiba
    I can't accept something from an enemy.
[12:18] Ashikiba
    You were nice to me.
    You taught me how to ride a bike.
[12:23] Ashikiba
    But the seniors at Hakone Academy High School,
    who have graduated now,
[12:28] Ashikiba
    taught me how to become stronger
     and where I belonged.
[12:33] Ashikiba
    So I'm going to help this team win this year.

    Should I jump in there and pop him one?

    The pain might knock the tension out of him.

    Then I have one thing to say to you.

    Okay.

    I learned a lot from Tadokoro-san.

    Etiquette and greetings. How to eat.
[18:42] Aoyagi
    The will to win. The importance
    of aiming for the finish line.
[18:47] Aoyagi
    It's not just things he taught me.
[18:49] Aoyagi
    I learned a lot from watching him, too.
[18:52] Aoyagi
    What did you learn from Makishima-san?
[18:54] Sakamichi
    I... I... I, uh...
[18:58] Aoyagi
    It may be hard to put into words,
[19:00] Aoyagi
    but there should be a lot of
    things you learned from him.
[19:14] Aoyagi
    It should be flowing through
    the veins inside your body.
[19:20] Aoyagi
    Think you can't do what you did last year?
[19:24] Aoyagi
    Of course not.
[19:25] Aoyagi
    Because you've gotten stronger.
[19:28] Aoyagi
    You bear the souls of our seniors.
[19:32] Aoyagi
    Sohoku High School is a team
    that supports one another.
[19:35] Aoyagi
    It applies to races, but that's not all.
[19:38] Aoyagi
    You're a second-year now.
[19:40] Aoyagi
    That's the most different thing about you.
[19:43] Aoyagi
    There's going to be a
    first-year riding this year.
[19:46] Aoyagi
    Carry on their legacy. Teach him.
[19:48] Aoyagi
    Show him with your riding.
[19:49] Aoyagi
    Show him everything you have in this race.
[19:52] Aoyagi
    Then Kaburagi will pass it
    on to the next generation.
[19:56] Aoyagi
    Sohoku High School will become even stronger.
[19:59] Sakamichi
    The next generation...
[20:02] (Flashback) Makishima
    Become stronger.
[20:03] Sakamichi
    He's right. I've already received something.
[20:07] Sakamichi
    I'm holding so many things inside this hand.
[20:11] Sakamichi
    The courage to take the first step...
[20:12] Sakamichi
    Friends who support me...
[20:14] (Flashback) Makishima
    We're counting on you to
    carry our Sohoku, Sakamichi.
[20:20] Sakamichi
    Got it.
[20:23] Sakamichi
    I'll make Sohoku High School stronger.
[20:26] Sakamichi
    Guys!
[20:30] Koga
    Aoyagi...
[20:31] Koga
    I see.
[20:33] (Flashback) Aoyagi
    It's simple. I'll give him a job.
[20:37] (Flashback) Koga
    A job?
[20:38] (Flashback) Aoyagi
    I'll narrow down what he
    has to do to one thing.
[20:42] (Flashback) Aoyagi
    That will make him strong.
[20:45] (Flashback) Teshima
    Climb past 100 guys!
[20:47] (Flashback) Aoyagi
    He already has the mindset
    to charge straight ahead.
[20:54] Koga
    Aoyagi Hajime, you're unbelievable.
[20:59] Sakamichi
    Let's go!
[21:00] Naruko
    Yeah!
[21:00] Imaizumi
    I've been waiting for this!
[21:02] Teshima
    I was going to do that.
    Don't take that from me!
[21:07] Sakamichi
    We are one!
[21:09] All
    Yeah!
[21:13] Fan 1
    Wow, it's starting to heat up.
[21:15] Fan 2
    This year's Inter-High
    should be on fire, too.
[21:18] Fan 3
    It's time!
[21:18] Announce
    The race will begin shortly.
[21:22] Fan 4
    It's starting!
[21:24] Sakamichi
    The hot sun...
[21:25] Announce
    Ten seconds.
[21:26] Sakamichi
    The cheers...
[21:27] Announce
    Nine, eight, seven...
[21:29] Sakamichi
    I can practically hear their heartbeats.
[21:32] Announce
    Six, five, four...
[21:33] Sakamichi
    It's starting. The white-hot race...
[21:36] Announce
    Three, two, one!
[21:37] Sakamichi
    The Inter-High!
[23:14] (Flashback) Makishima
    I wonder how many will
    remain after this year's.
[23:17] (Flashback) Kinjou
    Who knows?
[23:19] (Flashback) Kinjou
    Sakurai is a second-year.
    He's riding with Aoyagi.
[23:21] (Flashback) Sakurai
    Th-Thank you.
[23:23] (Flashback) Kinjou
    Sugimoto is a second-year.
    He's riding with Teshima.
[23:26] (Flashback) Teshima
    Hey.
[23:27] (Flashback) Sugimoto
    Thank you.
[23:30] (Flashback) Kinjou
    This is the strongest
    lineup I've come up with.
