SIGN LINE.17 Start of the Mountains
[01:34] Naruko
Being the captain sure is hard work.
[01:37] (Flashback) Naruko
There was a pep rally suddenly
scheduled for today, right?
SIGN Sohoku High School Inter-High Soccer & Bicycle Racing Club Pep Rally
[01:39] (Flashback) Imaizumi
Yeah.
[01:41] (Flashback) Imaizumi
He's attending with Pierre-sensei.
[01:43] (Flashback) Sakamichi
That's why the second-years have been
asked to lead today's member meeting!
[01:50] (Flashback) Naruko
We're meeting at Koga-san's place this year, right?
[01:52] (Flashback) Naruko
Come to think of it, Makishima-san's
place was crazy last year.
[01:55] (Flashback) Sakamichi
I wonder what Koga-san's house is like.
[01:59] (Flashback) Sakamichi
It's a building, Naruko-kun!
[02:00] (Flashback) Sakamichi
Koga-san's house is a huge building!
[02:03] (Flashback) Imaizumi
A building?
[02:05] (Flashback) Imaizumi
That's an apartment building!
[02:06] (Flashback) Naruko
Onoda-kun, the entire building
isn't Koga-san's house!
[02:09] (Flashback) Sakamichi
It's so tall!
[02:10] (Flashback) Naruko
That's just how apartment buildings are.
[02:12] (Flashback) Sakamichi
There are so many cars!
[02:14] (Flashback) Naruko
Yeah, because a lot of people live here.
[02:17] (Flashback) Imaizumi
Don't you have any relatives
who live in apartments?
[02:20] (Flashback) Kaburagi
It's huge! It's so tall!
[02:23] (Flashback) Imaizumi
Another one who doesn't have any.
[02:24] (Flashback) Aoyagi
Let's go.
[02:24] Kaburagi
Ow, ow! Please stop, Aoyagi-san!
[02:33] (Flashback) Sakamichi
We're so high up!
[02:34] (Flashback) Kaburagi
This is crazy!
[02:35] (Flashback) Kaburagi
Hey, isn't that our school?
[02:37] (Flashback) Sakamichi
Huh? What? Where?
[02:38] (Flashback) Naruko
Onoda-kun! Showoff!
[02:40] (Flashback) Imaizumi
I'm losing my desire to stop them.
SIGN Kimitaka
[02:42] (Flashback) Sakamichi
Sorry for making such a fuss.
[02:44] (Flashback) Kaburagi
Sorry!
[02:46] Aoyagi
I'll have to keep an eye
on him during the race.
[02:50] (Flashback) Koga
Hey, thanks for coming.
[02:54] (Flashback) Koga
Let's get this meeting started.
[02:56] (Flashback) Koga
We won't be practicing riding,
but stay focused.
[03:00] (Flashback) All
Yes, sir!
[03:03] (Flashback) Kaburagi
That's a huge monitor.
[03:06] (Flashback) Kaburagi
Are we gonna watch a movie or something?
[03:08] (Flashback) Koga
It's data.
[03:09] (Flashback) Sakamichi
Data?
[03:11] (Flashback) Koga
Road racing is also a
battle against the road.
[03:14] (Flashback) Koga
The upperclassmen used
to say it all the time.
[03:18] (Flashback) Koga
This is data on this year's
Tochigi Inter-High course.
[03:24] (Flashback) Koga
I attached a camera to my bike
and rode the whole thing myself.
[03:29] (Flashback) All
What?
[03:30] (Flashback) Kaburagi
Whoa!
[03:31] (Flashback) Koga
I told Aoyagi and Teshima what I was doing.
[03:34] Imaizumi
He rode the whole course alone?
[03:37] Naruko
Is this four-eyes serious?
[03:39] Naruko
He said it so casually, but that's...
[03:42] Sakamichi
Koga-san is amazing!
[03:45] (Flashback) Koga
I felt things like small gaps and
challenging sections not on the map.
[03:52] (Flashback) Koga
And now, I'll tell you all about them.
[03:54] (Flashback) All
Yes, sir!
[03:59] (Flashback) Koga
That's all from me.
[04:02] (Flashback) Koga
To round things off,
I have a question for you.
[04:07] (Flashback) Koga
Is there anything you want
to try at the Inter-High?
[04:11] (Flashback) Koga
If you're always on
the defensive, you can't win.
[04:13] (Flashback) Koga
You'll never get any chances unless you try.
[04:16] (Flashback) Koga
Those are Junta's words.
[04:19] (Flashback) Koga
It doesn't matter what it is.
[04:20] (Flashback) Koga
We'll go over them and incorporate anything
that seems possible into our orders.
[04:24] (Flashback) Koga
You can speak freely.
[04:25] (Flashback) Imaizumi
I want to cross the finish line!
[04:27] (Flashback) Naruko
Hey, hotshot! That's mine!
[04:29] (Flashback) Naruko
Saying it first doesn't mean you get it!
[04:30] (Flashback) Kaburagi
I'll be our ace and win the race!
[04:32] (Flashback) Kaburagi
After all, I'm an all-rounder!
[04:34] (Flashback) Aoyagi
I'd like to go for the sprint.
[04:37] (Flashback) Naruko
I'll be our ace!
[04:39] (Flashback) Imaizumi
Why not let me do it?
[04:40] (Flashback) Imaizumi
Your hair makes you stand out enough already.
[04:43] (Flashback) Naruko
Well, yeah.
[04:44] (Flashback) Naruko
But you stand out the
most by finishing first!
[04:46] (Flashback) Kaburagi
I'll do it! Seriously, I'll go anywhere!
[04:48] (Flashback) Naruko
No, me!
[04:49] (Flashback) Imaizumi
Forget about you.
[04:49] (Flashback) Koga
No one's in agreement.
[04:51] (Flashback) Kaburagi
I can do it!
[04:55] (Flashback) Koga
Onoda.
[04:56] (Flashback) Sakamichi
Huh?
[04:58] (Flashback) Koga
Don't you have anything?
[04:59] (Flashback) Sakamichi
Oh, well...
[05:01] (Flashback) Sakamichi
I just want to ride as hard
as I can and help the team.
[05:07] (Flashback) Sakamichi
Oh, but...
[05:10] (Flashback) Sakamichi
If I can make just one request...
[05:16] (Flashback) Sakamichi
I made a promise over the winter.
[05:19] (Flashback) Sakamichi
If possible...
[05:21] (Flashback) Sakamichi
I'd like to race against Hakone
Academy's Manami Sangaku-kun.
[05:25] (Flashback) Sakamichi
Somewhere.
[05:27] Koga
Race...
[05:29] Koga
I never thought I'd hear that word
come from Onoda's mouth.
[05:32] (Flashback) Sakamichi
Oh, actually...
[05:34] (Flashback) Sakamichi
When I ran into Manami-kun,
[05:36] (Flashback) Sakamichi
we talked about how nice the
second day's mountains will be.
[05:40] (Flashback) Sakamichi
But only if it's possible.
[05:44] (Flashback) Sakamichi
What's important is the team's victory.
[05:48] (Flashback) Sakamichi
I just...
[05:50] (Flashback) Sakamichi
I just want to give everything
I have down to the very last drop.
[05:56] (Flashback) Sakamichi
I want to experience that kind
of race against Manami-kun again.
[06:01] (Flashback) Sakamichi
That's all.
[06:08] (Flashback) Koga
You were last year's hero.
What are you talking about?
[06:11] (Flashback) Koga
No one deserves to be selfish as much as you.
[06:17] (Flashback) Naruko
Jeez, Onoda-kun.
[06:18] (Flashback) Imaizumi
Yeah, you're being selfish.
[06:20] (Flashback) Aoyagi
Let's do what we can to make that happen.
[06:24] (Flashback) Sakamichi
Oh, no, no, no! Guys!
[06:26] (Flashback) Sakamichi
It doesn't have to happen! Really!
[06:29] (Flashback) Imaizumi
Don't be shy.
[06:30] (Flashback) Koga
I'll talk to Junta.
[06:33] (Flashback) Koga
I'm sure it'll depend on the situation,
but I'll ask him to consider it.
[06:37] (Flashback) Sakamichi
But...
[06:39] Koga
The second day's mountains, right?
[06:42] Teshima
Next! Aoyagi, move up and pull!
[06:44] Kaburagi
Yes, sir!
[06:46] Teshima
Keep up the pace! Focus!
[06:48] Teshima
We'll catch up to the front!
[06:50] Kaburagi
Yes, sir!
[06:51] Sakamichi
I'll pull next!
[06:53] Teshima
Wait.
[06:55] Teshima
Onoda, you don't need to
be part of the rotation.
[06:58] Teshima
Save your energy on these flats.
[07:00] Sakamichi
Huh?
[07:02] Teshima
That's an order, Onoda.
[07:04] Teshima
Take the second day's mountain result!
[07:08] Sakamichi
But, um, I...
[07:10] Teshima
It's starting to seem possible.
[07:13] Teshima
We could reach the front.
[07:15] Teshima
Be the motivation that makes us
achieve that possibility, Onoda.
[07:20] Sakamichi
Motivation...
[07:21] Teshima
You only need one goal
when you're struggling.
[07:27] Teshima
We'll take you to the mountains.
[07:30] Imaizumi
That's right.
[07:31] Imaizumi
I'll pull you there.
[07:34] Sakamichi
Imaizumi-kun.
[07:36] Imaizumi
Onoda, don't speak and follow me!
[07:40] Teshima
Imaizumi.
[07:44] Sakamichi
Guys...
[07:46] Sakamichi
Thank you.
[07:48] Sakamichi
Understood. I... I...
[07:53] Sakamichi
I'll conserve my energy with all my might!
[07:56] Kaburagi
Onoda-san.
[07:57] Teshima
That's not something you
do with all your might.
[08:00] Teshima
Let's go, Sohoku!
[08:02] All
Yeah!
[08:05] Fan
The lead pack is here!
[08:06] Fan
Hakone Academy's in front!
[08:08] Fan
Kyoto Fushimi's behind them!
[08:11] Fan
There's one Sohoku rider behind them!
[08:14] Fan
There are thirteen guys in the lead pack!
[08:17] Izumida
Fall back, Doubashi. Well done.
[08:20] Izumida
Yuto, to the front.
[08:22] Izumida
Your mountains are finally here.
[08:25] Yuto
Yes, sir.
[08:27] Fan
They sent their climber to the front!
[08:29] Fan
Hakone Academy is in
their mountain formation!
[08:32] Izumida
The course is entering a mountain
stage with a wide, scenic road.
[08:37] Izumida
Beyond it rises the treasure of Gunma,
[08:40] Izumida
which houses the Ikaho Hot Spring
along its slope.
[08:43] Izumida
Rising 1,391 meters above sea level is
[08:47] Izumida
Mount Haruna.
[08:50] Izumida
The second day's mountain line is at
the highest point of National Route 33,
[08:57] Izumida
which runs along the mountainside,
at 1,170 meters.
[09:06] Kuroda
Why do you keep glancing behind you, Manami?
[09:10] Kuroda
Focus on the race.
[09:12] Manami
I was just thinking about how nice the
weather is and wanted to check out the view.
[09:17] Manami
Just kidding.
[09:19] Manami
I can't fool you, can I?
[09:20] Kuroda
No.
[09:22] Kuroda
You're not worried about
Kyoto Fushimi behind us, are you?
[09:25] Kuroda
Is it someone behind them?
[09:28] Manami
Yes.
[09:30] Kuroda
We're riding hard at the Inter-High,
but you're thinking about your own race?
[09:36] Manami
I suppose I am.
[09:38] Manami
Wouldn't it be a waste not to race here?
[09:42] Manami
The team's doing well, and I took the
first day's mountains like I was ordered to.
[09:48] Kuroda
Is it Sohoku's four-eyes?
[09:50] Manami
Yes, him.
[09:52] Manami
We made a promise.
[09:55] Kuroda
You can't.
[09:58] Kuroda
I've been asked to lead the
team through the mountains.
[10:02] Kuroda
We have over ten kilometers
of climb ahead of us.
[10:04] Kuroda
You should rest.
[10:05] Kuroda
If we send anyone, it'll be Yuto.
[10:08] Kuroda
The Inter-High has a third day.
[10:10] Kuroda
If we send our ace climber today
[10:13] Kuroda
and you're too tired to ride tomorrow,
then our strategy will be ruined.
[10:20] Kuroda
Huh?
[10:21] Manami
Kuroda-san.
[10:23] Manami
Riding hard today so I can take it easy tomorrow
[10:28] Manami
is not how I'm approaching this race.
[10:33] Kuroda
His focus is increasing as we
get closer to the mountains.
[10:37] Manami
Sorry. When he shows up, I'm going.
[10:42] Doubashi
What kind of reason is that, Manami?
[10:45] Doubashi
He overrode Kuroda-san's orders.
[10:47] Kuroda
There's no argument that will convince him.
[10:52] Kuroda
Riding without reason
is his greatest strength.
[10:56] Kuroda
I understand what you want.
[10:59] Kuroda
But...
[11:00] Kuroda
But, Manami, there are two conditions
that will prevent you from going.
[11:05] Kuroda
The first is if Sohoku doesn't make it here.
[11:09] Kuroda
If the four-eyes in question never shows up.
[11:12] Kuroda
I don't know why he even thinks
Sohoku will catch up.
[11:17] Kuroda
But he's an oddball.
[11:20] Manami
What's the second one?
[11:22] Kuroda
Second...
[11:24] Kuroda
We're entering the final
mountains of the second day.
[11:27] Kuroda
Kyoto Fushimi and Midousuji
haven't won any titles yet.
[11:31] Kuroda
He'll make his move before long.
[11:33] Kuroda
You won't have time to race.
[11:38] Doubashi
Kuroda-san! Kyoto Fushimi's on the move!
[11:41] Doubashi
There's three of them!
[11:42] Doubashi
Second-year climber Kiriya and
third-year launching pad Mizuta
[11:46] Doubashi
are accompanying their ace, Midousuji!
[11:51] Kuroda
Yuto, Manami!
[11:53] Kuroda
Stop them!
[12:00] Yuto
You're not going anywhere.
[12:01] Manami
You heard him.
[12:04] Manami
You're right. If they get ahead,
then I won't get to race, Kuroda-san.
[12:13] Mizuta
They're so fast!
[12:15] Kiriya
They stopped us immediately.
[12:17] Kiriya
These are Hakone Academy's climbers?
[12:19] Midousuji
One more time.
[12:22] Midousuji
We'll attack again!
[12:24] Mizuta
What?
[12:25] Kiriya
Huh?
[12:26] Kiriya
Wait. Wait, Midousuji-kun.
[12:28] Kiriya
We're still out of breath.
[12:29] Kiriya
We can't do that again right away.
[12:31] Midousuji
We will.
[12:34] Midousuji
Kiriya-kun, are you stronger
than the two in front of us?
[12:39] Kiriya
Wh-What?
[12:40] Kiriya
Of course not.
[12:41] Kiriya
They're good enough to be aces in
terms of both strength and power.
[12:44] Midousuji
Right? Then there's only
one thing you can do.
[12:50] Midousuji
If you're inferior in every way,
then all you can do
[12:55] Midousuji
is pedal like your life depends on it.
[12:59] Midousuji
And now is the time.
[13:04] Midousuji
Resume Phase 28!
[13:06] Midousuji
Keep pedaling until your legs break!
[13:09] Fan
Kyoto Fushimi is accelerating!
[13:11] Fan
They're attacking again!
[13:13] Midousuji
Our attack must succeed, Zakus!
[13:18] Kuroda
Manami, Yuto! After them!
[13:21] Yuto
Got it.
[13:21] Manami
I know.
[13:23] Manami
I'll stop this attack.
[13:26] Manami
After all, I have my own plans.
[13:28] Manami
Go!
[13:31] Kiriya
They caught up in a flash!
[13:39] Kiriya
And he passed us!
[13:42] Mizuta
The wind?
[13:43] Kiriya
I thought I saw wings for a second.
[13:48] Manami
Sorry, but you're not going
anywhere, Midousuji-kun.
[13:52] Kiriya
They're monsters. They're on
a different level from us.
[13:55] Kiriya
We can't fight against them and win!
[13:59] Midousuji
Manami.
[14:03] Midousuji
It's been a while.
[14:05] Manami
I don't think we've spoken
since last year's Inter-High.
[14:09] Midousuji
A guy who enjoys fighting.
[14:12] Midousuji
A guy whose talents are wasted.
[14:15] Midousuji
A guy who isn't a Zaku.
[14:18] Midousuji
The guy who lost to Sakamichi last year!
[14:26] Mizuta
Brutal! He's hitting him where it hurts.
[14:29] Mizuta
If I were in his position, that's the
last thing I'd want to hear.
[14:36] Manami
Oh, that?
[14:38] Mizuta
Huh?
[14:40] Manami
If losing bothers me,
I should remove my jersey.
[14:45] Manami
That's what he told me.
[14:47] Manami
But I'm still wearing mine.
[14:52] Manami
I realized then
[14:54] Manami
that I was still in the middle.
[14:57] Manami
It's not over yet.
[15:00] Manami
I'm glad I didn't end it.
[15:03] Manami
Someone even faster than me
is waiting beyond the peak.
[15:08] Manami
What could be more exciting?
[15:11] Manami
I can go all out at the peak.
[15:13] Manami
It means I'll feel even more
alive than I ever have before.
[15:21] Midousuji
This man, Manami...
[15:24] Midousuji
I thought he'd given up after being
hurt last year, but now I know.
[15:32] Midousuji
He's in perfect condition.
[15:35] Midousuji
This attack won't go well.
[15:39] Midousuji
Resume Phase 28, Zakus!
[15:43] Kiriya
I-I can't! Midousuji-kun, let's fall back!
[15:47] Kiriya
This is reckless!
[15:48] Mizuta
Hey, Kiriya!
[15:49] Kiriya
This attack can't possible succeed—
[15:52] Midousuji
I said we're doing it now.
[15:59] Midousuji
I have my reasons, but you don't need
to know what they are right now.
[16:05] Midousuji
We have to make it happen now.
[16:14] Midousuji
Cheers from behind? Could it be?
[16:20] Midousuji
They're coming now?
[16:25] Kuroda
Hey, you hear that?
[16:27] Doubashi
Yeah, Kuroda-san.
[16:29] Kyoto
There's noise coming from
behind us, Yamaguchi-san!
[16:31] Kyoto
Is someone coming?
[16:33] Kuroda
A Sohoku rider?
[16:36] Doubashi
There's a lot of them. It's not just one rider.
[16:39] Doubashi
That's...
[16:43] Ise
I see the front!
[16:45] Ise
Higo blooms again!
[16:47] Manami
It's not Sohoku.
[16:48] Kuroda
K-Kumamoto Daiichi.
[16:50] Ise
That's right!
[16:51] Ise
We're the Higo Superexpress,
Kumamoto Daiichi!
[16:56] Mizuta
Did they pass them?
[16:58] Doubashi
It's not Sohoku?
[17:03] Midousuji
My Zakus reported that they
were plotting to catch up later
[17:07] Midousuji
while they were in the pack.
[17:12] Midousuji
But they actually did it.
[17:14] Midousuji
What perfect timing.
[17:17] Midousuji
I'll use everything I can.
[17:20] Midousuji
Now's my chance.
[17:21] Midousuji
We'll use this confusion to our advantage.
[17:26] Ise
I'm the rumored Kumamoto Daiichi captain,
the Demon Sergeant Ise Shinya!
[17:32] Ise
Surprised? This is Kumamoto Daiichi!
[17:34] Ise
No one's team is stronger than ours!
[17:36] Ise
Our team makes the impossible possible!
[17:40] Fan
Kumamoto is amazing!
[17:42] Fan
They caught up in the mountains!
[17:45] Kuroda
Seriously, Kumamoto Daiichi?
[17:47] Kuroda
They passed Sohoku?
[17:49] Ise
Fujiwara, once we catch up to them,
wait for an opportunity to jump ahead.
[17:53] Ise
I expect you to win the
mountain result number tag.
[17:55] Fujiwara
You can count on me, Ise-san.
[17:57] Fujiwara
I promise I won't let Kumamoto Daiichi down!
[18:02] Kuroda
Did Kyoto Fushimi get ahead
while we were distracted?
[18:08] Kuroda
No, they didn't.
[18:10] Midousuji
What's important during road
races is to predict the future
[18:16] Midousuji
during any confusion and calmly
deceive the eyes of others.
[18:21] Midousuji
Kuroda-kun is keeping an eye on me.
[18:25] Midousuji
First, I have to make him lower his guard.
[18:28] Midousuji
We're skipping ahead to Phase 108.
[18:30] Midousuji
Pretend you're exhausted.
[18:31] Mizuta
Got it.
[18:32] Kiriya
Yes, sir.
[18:33] Midousuji
Tell the other Zakus, Mizuta-kun.
[18:37] Midousuji
Stay toward the right side of the course,
[18:39] Midousuji
and let Kumamoto Daiichi come
between us and Hakone Academy.
[18:45] Mizuta
What? Are you sure we
should let them join us?
[18:48] Mizuta
Their captain just said Kumamoto Daiichi's
team is stronger than anyone else's!
[18:53] Midousuji
What? Team strength?
[18:58] Midousuji
That's just what they say about themselves.
[19:07] Ise
We finally caught up to the front.
[19:13] Manami
I was wrong.
[19:15] Manami
I thought it was you, Sakamichi-kun.
[19:19] Manami
And since no one's left yet,
I thought we could go together.
[19:31] Kuroda
He's replenishing his fluids.
[19:32] Kuroda
It doesn't look like they'll
attack anytime soon.
[19:35] Kuroda
Hey, Manami! How long are you
going to keep looking behind you?
[19:42] Midousuji
Now, Zakus!
[19:45] Midousuji
Without making a single sound, hold your
breath and silently go all out!
[20:01] Izumida
Kyoto Fushimi?
[20:02] Izumida
Yuki!
[20:12] Aoyagi
Can you do it, Junta?
[20:14] Teshima
Probably. It's pretty likely.
[20:18] Aoyagi
Really?
[20:19] Teshima
Everyone's motivated.
[20:22] Teshima
In the next few minutes,
we should see the lead pack.
[20:27] Fan
Look, it's Sohoku!
[20:28] Fan
Last year's champions
are racing up the slope!
[20:31] Fan
They fell apart once, but they're
back together again!
[20:34] Fan
They'll catch up to the front!
[20:36] Teshima
Onoda!
[20:38] Sakamichi
Yes, sir!
[20:39] Teshima
Were you able to conserve your energy?
[20:41] Sakamichi
Yes, sir!
[20:43] Teshima
I have orders for you!
[20:45] Teshima
Once we join the lead pack, jump ahead!
[20:47] Teshima
Push Hakone Academy's Manami aside and
cross the second day's mountain line first!
[20:52] Sakamichi
Yes, sir!
[20:54] Kaburagi
I see them!
[20:59] Teshima
Damn.
[21:01] Teshima
We caught up.
[21:02] Teshima
Hakone Academy, Kyoto Fushimi, and Naruko.
[21:06] Teshima
We're here.
[21:08] Teshima
Sorry to keep you waiting!
[21:14] Teshima
What is this? Kumamoto Daiichi?
[21:18] Sakamichi
Teshima-san, the Kumamoto Daiichi
team that passed us is scattered.
[21:23] Teshima
Yeah. Don't drop your pace.
[21:26] Teshima
Let's keep going.
[21:27] Sakamichi
Yes, sir.
[21:29] Teshima
What's going on? What in the world happened?
[23:07] Teshima
I'm hungry.
[23:09] Teshima
Let's get something on the way home.
[23:11] Koga
I want pizza.
[23:12] Teshima
There it is! Your suggestion for pizza!
[23:14] Teshima
Let's get something else
once in a while, like curry.
[23:17] Koga
We're getting pizza today.
[23:18] Koga
I decided we would this morning.
[23:20] Teshima
You said the same thing when
we got pizza last time.
[23:22] Koga
Pizza!
[23:23] Teshima
No, we're getting curry today!
[23:25] Teshima
Aoyagi, say something.
[23:28] Aoyagi
In that case...
