[00:12] Sakamichi
    So many people breathing...
[00:15] Sakamichi
    We've only just started down this road,
    but it leads to the distant finish line.
[00:22] Sakamichi
    Calm down, calm down...
[00:24] Sakamichi
    I'll probably never get
    used to this excitement.
[00:29] Sakamichi
    Everyone here is riding for the finish line.
[00:32] Sakamichi
    My second Inter-High has begun.
[00:36] Sakamichi
    There's no turning back now.
SIGN    Yowamushi Pedal
[02:10] Fans
    You can do it!
[02:12] Sakamichi
    I can feel the pressure emanating from them.
SIGN    RIDE.18 The Swelling Aoyagi
[02:18] Imaizumi
    Calm down. We're still in the parade section.
[02:21] Fans
    Sohoku!
[02:21] Sakamichi
    What?
[02:22] Imaizumi
    Don't you remember last year?
[02:23] Fans
    Onoda!
[02:24] Imaizumi
    The first two kilometers
    of the race are a parade.
[02:26] Fans
    Imaizumi!
[02:26] Imaizumi
    It's a chance to respond
    to the cheers of the crowd.
[02:28] Fans
    Naruko!
[02:29] Imaizumi
    We're last year's champions.
[02:32] Sakamichi
    R-Right.
[02:35] Imaizumi
    Look at him. He's really getting into it.
[02:37] Naruko
    Thank you, thank you! Thank you, thank you!
[02:40] Naruko
    That's right! I'm Naruko Shoukichi,
     the Red Bullet!
[02:43] Naruko
    I'm going to be flashy again this year!
[02:45] Sakamichi
    Naruko-kun is amazing.
[02:47] Imaizumi
    He's overdoing it.
[02:49] Imaizumi
    No, wait. Hakone Academy High School
    might've been just as...
[02:53] Imaizumi
    No, they weren't.
[02:54] Imaizumi
    No, wait. Maybe him...
[03:01] Imaizumi
    Does everyone who wears
    tag #3 act like that?
[03:05] Teshima
    The pressure's different when there are this
    many people in the crowd. Right, Aoyagi?
[03:09] Teshima
    The Inter-High is on its own level.
[03:13] Teshima
    This is our last chance to relax.
[03:15] Teshima
    Let me say this while I still
    have the chance, Hajime.
[03:19] Teshima
    We finally made it.
[03:21] Teshima
    We're on this side of the fence.
[03:26] Teshima
    It took three years from that day.
[03:29] Teshima
    We couldn't bring Tadokoro-san with us.
[03:34] Teshima
    It's our first and last Inter-High.
[03:36] Teshima
    I'm counting on you, Hajime.
[03:39] Aoyagi
    Yeah, Junta.
[03:43] Teshima
    I'm trembling.
[03:44] Aoyagi
    Don't worry. I'll stop it for you.
[03:47] Teshima
    I'm relieved.
[03:51] Rider A
    Hakone Academy High School.
[03:52] Rider B
    The repeat champions possess
    a different kind of intensity.
[03:54] Rider C
    They seem so composed despite the tension.
[03:57] Rider C
    They're like predators closing in on prey.
[03:59] Rider A
    Prey? You mean Sohoku High School?
[04:01] Rider C
    No, you idiot.
[04:02] Rider B
    Then who?
[04:03] Rider C
    Isn't it obvious?
[04:05] Rider C
    Hakone Academy High School's
    prey is all of us!
[04:09] Rider C
    The first result and green tag for
    the fastest sprinter on the flats.
[04:13] Rider C
    The glorious red tag for the
    best climber in the mountains.
[04:17] Rider C
    The champion's yellow tag.
[04:20] Rider C
    They'll be going for all of them.
[04:22] Rider C
    They have the right members to do it.
[04:24] Sakamichi
    Excuse me. Excuse me.
[04:25] Sakamichi
    Coming through.
[04:27] Rider A
    What's going on? Someone's coming back.
[04:27] Sakamichi
    Excuse me. Sorry.
[04:29] Rider B
    Is that Sohoku High School?
[04:29] Sakamichi
    Excuse me. Coming through.
[04:31] Rider C
    And he's wearing tag #1!
[04:36] Sakamichi
    Manami-kun!
[04:37] Sakamichi
    I finally found you.
[04:39] Manami
    Sakamichi-kun...
[04:41] Izumida
    Onoda...
[04:42] Kuroda
    This guy is...
[04:43] Kaburagi
    ...Onoda Sakamichi.
[04:44] Yuto
    Wow, tag #1!
[04:48] Sakamichi
    I tried to go see you before the
    race started, but I was too busy.
[04:51] Sakamichi
    I, um...
[04:54] Sakamichi
    I'm a second-year now.
[04:57] Manami
    I know. So am I.
[05:02] Manami
    It's been a while.
[05:03] Sakamichi
    Yeah. I didn't get to see you guys in Akiba.
[05:06] Sakamichi
    I got your water bottle, though.
[05:09] Manami
    That's great.
[05:10] Manami
    We haven't ridden together since that day.
SIGN    Closed For Winter
[05:24] (Flashback) Toudou
    What's wrong? You both seem down.
[05:27] (Flashback) Toudou
    We're in the mountains. We're climbing.
[05:28] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    But it's winter.
[05:30] (Flashback) Manami
    It's cold, Toudou-san.
[05:32] (Flashback) Toudou
    That's all right. You'll warm up
    once you start riding.
[05:35] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    Um, where's the party you
    mentioned in your letter?
SIGN    Feb. 21 We are having a party on the Hakone Road Turnpike. You will come, Onoda Sakamichi-kun. We will be waiting. And, oh yes. Don't forget your bicycle. Bring your winter jersey, shoe covers, gloves, inner tubes and helmet, too. Toudou Jinpachi
[05:40] (Flashback) Toudou
    This is it!
[05:42] (Flashback) Toudou
    Unfortunately, the snow will limit your
    vision a bit, but it shouldn't be a problem.
[05:46] (Flashback) Manami
    It's definitely a problem.
[05:47] (Flashback) Toudou
    Nope.
[05:48] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    H-How far are we climbing?
[05:50] (Flashback) Toudou
    To the top, of course.
[05:52] (Flashback) Manami
    Just the two of us?
[05:54] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    What about you, Toudou-san?
[05:57] (Flashback) Toudou
    I'd never ride in this freezing cold snow.
[06:00] (Flashback) Both
    What?
[06:01] (Flashback) Toudou
    Ride. If you don't ride, it's meaningless.
[06:05] (Flashback) Both
    What?
[06:07] (Flashback) Toudou
    I'll be graduating soon.
[06:09] (Flashback) Toudou
    Before I do,
[06:10] (Flashback) Toudou
    I need to pass on the titles
    "King of the Mountain" and "Mountain God."
[06:17] (Flashback) Toudou
    It has to be one of you.
[06:25] (Flashback) Manami
    This road sucks.
[06:27] (Flashback) Manami
    The patches of snow
    are making my tires slip.
[06:30] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    Yeah. The falling snow's bad, too.
[06:32] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    I can't see.
[06:34] (Flashback) Manami
    But it's kind of...
[06:35] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    Yeah.
[06:36] (Flashback) Manami
    It's fun.
[06:38] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    Yeah.
[06:42] (Flashback) Toudou
    How did it go? Who won?
[06:44] (Flashback) Toudou
    Manami, Four-Eyes...
[06:47] (Flashback) Both
    We couldn't do it.
[06:48] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    Partway up the mountain there was too
    much snow. We couldn't keep riding.
[06:53] (Flashback) Toudou
    I see. That's unfortunate.
[06:55] (Flashback) Toudou
    It can't be helped, then.
[06:57] (Flashback) Toudou
    We'll have to postpone this race
    until the summer's Inter-High.
[07:03] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    Yeah.
[07:03] (Flashback) Manami
    I guess so.
[07:05] (Flashback) Toudou
    Don't be late this year, Manami.
[07:07] (Flashback) Manami
    I can't guarantee that.
[07:09] (Flashback) Toudou
    Oh, right. Give Four-Eyes your number.
[07:12] (Flashback) Toudou
    Have him call you the day of the race.
[07:13] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    Your number? Okay.
[07:19] Manami
    Sakamichi-kun...
[07:22] Manami
    Do you still like climbs?
[07:26] Sakamichi
    Yeah.
[07:27] Manami
    Then let's race.
[07:29] Manami
    It's decided.
[07:30] Sakamichi
    Yeah.
[07:32] Manami
    On that mountain...
[07:34] Manami
    Let's squeeze every bit of strength
    and fight to the end!
[07:43] Sakamichi
    Yeah.
[07:45] Sakamichi
    Well, I'd better get going.
[07:48] Yuto
    Should you have made that promise?
[07:53] Yuto
    Izumida-san told me to beat him
    once we enter the mountains.
[08:01] Manami
    You're only able to say that because you've
    never ridden against Sakamichi-kun before.
[08:06] Manami
    Don't worry.
[08:08] Manami
    Where and when don't matter.
[08:11] Manami
    We only agreed to ride together.
[08:14] Manami
    It's a small promise, but he
    always keeps his promises.
[08:22] Imaizumi
    They'll be coming soon.
[08:24] Imaizumi
    Once they wave that flag,
    the parade run will be over.
[08:28] Imaizumi
    The race will start.
[08:30] Sakamichi
    Okay.
[08:35] Sakamichi
    The battle is starting!
[08:41] Ohori
    Move aside, small fries!
[08:43] Ohori
    The sprinter's pride and first result
[08:45] Ohori
    belongs to Ohori from
    Fukuoka Jousei High School!
[08:49] Izumida
    Go, Doubashi.
[08:52] Rider A
    It's Hakone Academy High School's Doubashi.
[08:54] Rider B
    He's huge.
[08:55] Rider B
    He makes Izumida look small.
[08:58] Rider C
    He's Hakone Academy High School's undefeated
    sprinter who tears up the road,
[09:03] Rider C
    Road Monster Doubashi!
[09:05] Doubashi
    This race is starting to heat up.
[09:08] Izumida
    This is the Inter-High.
[09:10] Izumida
    As captain of Hakone Academy High School,
[09:13] Izumida
    I know I should keep my personal
    feelings out of the race.
[09:16] Izumida
    But...
[09:17] Izumida
    My right pec Andy and my
    left pec Frank are excited.
[09:22] Izumida
    They're overjoyed.
[09:25] Izumida
    First, Doubashi, push aside the other
    teams and take the first result.
[09:30] Izumida
    And...
[09:33] Izumida
    Whatever you do, don't lose
    to Sohoku High School!
[09:38] Doubashi
    Simple. That's an easy order, Izumida-san.
[09:41] Izumida
    My heart is leaping with joy.
[09:44] Izumida
    This is why I love the Inter-High.
[09:46] Izumida
    Go, Doubashi!
[09:50] Rider C
    They released a rampaging beast
    on the Inter-High course!
[09:54] Doubashi
    Move! Move, or I'll crush you!
[10:02] Rider D
    Doubashi?
[10:03] Doubashi
    Come on! Go faster!
[10:05] Doubashi
    If you ride that slowly,
    even the ants will catch up to you!
[10:09] Teshima
    Aoyagi, Kaburagi.
[10:11] Kaburagi
    Yes, sir.
[10:12] Teshima
    Go.
[10:13] Rider A
    Sohoku High School's making their move, too.
[10:15] Rider A
    It's third-year sprinter Aoyagi Hajime.
[10:18] Rider B
    And first-year Kaburagi, #6!
[10:21] Rider C
    Sohoku High School's sending
    two guys this year, too.
[10:23] Teshima
    Begin the pursuit.
[10:25] Teshima
    Chase down the sprinters in front of us
    and Hakone Academy High School!
[10:29] Kaburagi
    Wait, Teshima-san.
[10:33] Kaburagi
    We should have Naruko-san go here
    and save me for the finish line.
[10:37] Kaburagi
    After all, I'm an all-rounder.
[10:41] Sakamichi
    Huh? What?
[10:45] Kaburagi
    Who will race for the finish line if not me?
[10:49] Aoyagi
    Quit complaining. It's an order.
[10:49] Kaburagi
    Ow, ow! Let go!
[10:54] Kaburagi
    Let go! Teshima-san, take
    back your mistake, and...
[10:57] Aoyagi
    Let's go.
[10:58] Sakamichi
    You haven't told Kaburagi-kun what Koga-san
    said about his legs at the training camp?
[11:05] Teshima
    Nope.
[11:08] Teshima
    I'm counting on you, Aoyagi.
[11:14] Koga
    Hurry, Sugimoto.
[11:16] Sugimoto
    Yes, sir.
[11:17] Aya
    There's always a rush right after the start.
[11:21] Miki
    Yeah, it's hard work.
[11:23] Aya
    Why do you look so happy?
[11:27] Sugimoto
    Sawada, Gorizou, Sadatoki...
[11:30] Sugimoto
    Follow us in the bus.
[11:32] All
    Yes, sir.
[11:33] Aya
    Is it really okay for us to ride in the van?
[11:35] Miki
    Of course.
[11:37] Miki
    There's a lot to do in the feed zones
    that require a woman's touch.
[11:41] Aya
    I don't really have that.
[11:43] Aya
    Well, I'll do my best.
[11:44] Koga
    Kanzaki-san, we're counting on you.
[11:47] Toji
    Leave it to me.
[11:49] Danchiku
    Sugimoto-san...
[11:50] Sugimoto
    Danchiku.
[11:52] Danchiku
    Please take care of Issa—of Kaburagi Issa.
[11:56] Danchiku
    Cheer him on at the feed zone for me.
[11:59] Sugimoto
    Got it.
[12:01] Danchiku
    I want him to ride with no regrets
    in the race of his dreams.
[12:06] Danchiku
    Issa and I always rode together
    during middle school.
[12:10] Sugimoto
    Kaburagi's got a good friend in you.
[12:13] Koga
    Danchiku, get in.
[12:15] Danchiku
    What?
[12:16] Koga
    Sugimoto, could you pack our gear in
    tighter and get out the spare seat?
[12:19] Sugimoto
    I'll try.
[12:21] Danchiku
    But I...
[12:24] Koga
    You should tell him your pure wish yourself.
[12:29] Koga
    You'll give him strength as he rides.
[12:33] Danchiku
    Yes, sir.
[12:34] Toji
    Okay, let's go.
[12:40] Kaburagi
    Why am I being made to participate
    in a sprinter's race?
[12:42] Kaburagi
    Did Teshima-san make a mistake?
[12:45] Kaburagi
    I told him I'm an all-rounder
    a bunch of times.
[12:48] Kaburagi
    Maybe he thought I said "all-binder."
[12:51] Kaburagi
    A binder closes, the way I'm a closer of races.
[12:54] Rider E
    It's Sohoku High School.
[12:55] Rider F
    They caught up.
[12:57] Rider G
    Two? Sohoku High School sent
    two sprinters again this year?
[13:01] Kaburagi
    What?
[13:02] Kaburagi
    I'm not a sprinter!
[13:04] Kaburagi
    You got that?
[13:05] Rider G
    Hey, I'm a second-year!
[13:08] Kaburagi
    I don't care! I'm Sohoku
    High School's secret ace!
[13:11] Kaburagi
    I'm the all-rounder, Kaburagi Issa!
[13:13] Rider G
    You should care.
[13:15] Aoyagi
    Sorry.
[13:16] Rider G
    Oh, no. It's fine.
[13:19] Aoyagi
    Question, Kaburagi.
[13:22] Aoyagi
    This pack isn't the lead pack yet.
[13:24] Aoyagi
    Forty-three sprinters jumped
    ahead at the signal.
[13:28] Kaburagi
    You were counting?
[13:30] Aoyagi
    We've passed thirteen so far. So...
[13:33] Kaburagi
    There's twenty left!
[13:35] Aoyagi
    Thirty.
[13:36] Kaburagi
    Huh?
[13:39] Aoyagi
    Excluding the eight guys here,
    there are twenty-two in front of us.
[13:43] Aoyagi
    Among them is one of
    Hakone Academy High School's riders.
[13:46] Kaburagi
    I see.
[13:48] Aoyagi
    The first day of the course runs
    north along National Route 119.
SIGN    Touhoku
     Roadway
[13:53] Aoyagi
    We'll pass through wide two-lane city
    streets in practically a straight line.
SIGN    Kinugawa
    River
SIGN    Touhoku
    Bullet
    Train
SIGN    Nikkou
    Road
[13:57] Aoyagi
    That'll turn into a one-lane
    road passing under the highway.
[14:01] Aoyagi
    Just past where the road starts to be lined
    with pine trees is a three-way intersection.
[14:05] Aoyagi
    That's the first result line.
[14:07] Aoyagi
    The green number tag line.
[14:09] Kaburagi
    Really?
[14:11] Aoyagi
    The road just before the line
    is lined with pine trees.
[14:14] Aoyagi
    We'll be mostly unaffected by the wind.
[14:16] Aoyagi
    If we don't pass those twenty-two sprinters,
    they'll take first place away from us.
[14:21] Kaburagi
    I see.
[14:24] Aoyagi
    His eyes changed.
[14:25] Aoyagi
    Pull. It's your turn next.
[14:27] Rider E
    Damn. Sohoku High School's moving.
[14:30] Rider F
    Stop them.
[14:31] Kaburagi
    You can't stop us!
[14:32] Rider E
    They're fast.
[14:34] Shimizu
    There's a ninety-degree turn ahead.
[14:35] Shimizu
    I'll push my way into it.
[14:37] Shimizu
    I'm Kochi Tosaumi High School's
    sprinter, Shimizu.
[14:40] Shimizu
    They call me the Corner Magician.
[14:43] Shimizu
    No one's cornering is sharper than mine!
[14:49] Shimizu
    You can't be serious!
[14:52] Shimizu
    They're unbelievable.
[14:54] Shimizu
    That switch, that rise...
[14:57] Shimizu
    He's a natural-born sprinter!
[15:01] Kaburagi
    What? That's odd.
[15:03] Kaburagi
    Why can't anyone keep up with me
    when I'm just an all-rounder?
[15:10] Kaburagi
    I don't know if this is the second or third,
[15:12] Kaburagi
    but we've caught up to
    the pack in front of us.
[15:14] Kaburagi
    You're next, Aoyagi-san.
[15:16] Aoyagi
    Got it.
[15:20] Yagura
    You've arrived, Sohoku High School.
[15:21] Yagura
    I'm the sprinter of the North, Niigata
    Jouetsu Higashi High School's Yaguramaru.
[15:26] Yagura
    Last year you had Tadokoro, but this
    year's Sohoku High School is so small.
[15:38] Yagura
    H-He's not small!
[15:39] Yagura
    His body transformed!
[15:42] Aoyagi
    You mean torso.
[15:43] Aoyagi
    Your muscles expand when you use them.
[15:47] Aoyagi
    Apparently, my difference
    in size is a bit extreme.
[15:50] Aoyagi
    My torso has currently expanded
    to its maximum size.
[15:54] Aoyagi
    In other words, I'm about to...
[15:56] Aoyagi
    Start riding as hard as I can!
[15:59] Aoyagi
    Tadokoro-san's Supersonic
    Oxygen Human Bullet!
[16:06] Yagura
    Huh? They're already out of sight.
[16:09] Kaburagi
    Wow, we pulled ahead of them in no time.
[16:13] Kaburagi
    It feels seriously awesome to do
    something like this at the Inter-High.
[16:18] Kaburagi
    But spare a thought for the
    guy behind you, Aoyagi-san.
[16:22] Kaburagi
    After all, I'm not a sprinter.
[16:24] Kaburagi
    I almost fell behind.
[16:28] Aoyagi
    Yaguramaru's a top-class sprinter, too.
[16:30] Kaburagi
    What?
[16:31] Aoyagi
    He kept up.
[16:36] (Flashback) Aoyagi
    All out?
[16:37] (Flashback) Teshima
    That's right. If you have
    the opportunity, test him.
[16:41] (Flashback) Teshima
    Sprint as hard as you
    can with him behind you.
[16:43] (Flashback) Aoyagi
    Are you sure you want 100%?
    What if he falls behind?
[16:47] (Flashback) Teshima
    Then you'll have to leave him behind.
[16:50] (Flashback) Teshima
    Unfortunately, if he can't
    keep up, either way...
[16:54] (Flashback) Teshima
    He won't stand a chance at the front.
[16:56] Kaburagi
    What are you talking about?
[16:58] Kaburagi
    That Yagura-san can't be top-class.
[17:00] Aoyagi
    He kept up with me at 100% acceleration,
    Junta. On top of that...
[17:06] Kaburagi
    Are you sure he's not a climber?
[17:09] Aoyagi
    He's still talking.
[17:11] Aoyagi
    In other words, he stands a
    chance at the front of the pack.
[17:15] Kaburagi
    I see the pack in front of us.
[17:18] Kaburagi
    Once we catch up,
    it'll be my turn. Let's switch.
[17:22] Kaburagi
    Finally.
[17:23] Aoyagi
    Let's head to the front, Kaburagi.
[17:26] Kaburagi
    What's gotten into you, Aoyagi-san?
[17:27] Kaburagi
    You seem happy.
[17:29] Aoyagi
    Shut up, and follow me!
[17:31] Kaburagi
    Yes, sir!
[17:32] Aoyagi
    Human Bullet!
[17:36] Rider A
    The sprinters who gave up on the
    first result are falling back.
[17:39] Rider B
    Is Hakone Academy High School's
    Doubashi in the front?
[17:42] Rider C
    He went flying ahead at a crazy speed.
[17:45] Rider A
    I heard Fukuoka's Ohori is
    in good shape this year.
[17:49] Rider B
    Who's the fastest sprinter?
[17:51] Naruko
    I really want to go!
[17:54] Naruko
    My body's saying, "Are you stupid?
    Why are you riding so slowly on the flats?"
[17:59] Naruko
    I could probably still make it if I left now.
[18:01] Naruko
    I could slip past these guys and
    take this year's first result!
[18:05] Naruko
    This is the Inter-High.
[18:06] Naruko
    They're racing to see who's the fastest.
[18:08] Naruko
    When will you go if not now,
    Naruko Shoukichi?
[18:11] Naruko
    My blood is screaming!
[18:14] Naruko
    I can't take it!
[18:15] Naruko
    I'm going.
[18:19] Imaizumi
    You're enduring it well, Naruko.
[18:22] Naruko
    W-Well, yeah. Th-This is nothing.
[18:27] Naruko
    That was close.
[18:29] Imaizumi
    As a guy who loves being flashy,
[18:31] Imaizumi
    it must've been hard not participating
    in a sprint through the city.
[18:35] Naruko
    I'm totally fine.
[18:37] Imaizumi
    Your expression fails to match your words.
[18:40] Imaizumi
    Whatever the case, I'm grateful you
    switched to being an all-rounder.
[18:46] Naruko
    I didn't do it for you, idiot.
[18:48] Izumida
    You're not going, Sohoku High School's
    Naruko Shoukichi?
[18:52] Naruko
    Hakone Academy High School's Lashes!
[18:54] Naruko
    He's here to spy on us.
[18:56] Naruko
    I thought it'd be no fun if I raced,
    since it'd be a blowout.
[19:00] Naruko
    I let my senior and junior go instead.
[19:03] Izumida
    Is this their plan?
[19:04] Izumida
    He doesn't seem unwell.
[19:07] Izumida
    We sent Doubashi since he's been
    doing well since this spring.
[19:10] Naruko
    You're acting calm, but you're
    actually desperate to go, aren't you?
[19:15] Izumida
    Frank...
[19:18] Izumida
    There's no point in hiding it.
[19:20] Izumida
    That's exactly right, Naruko-kun.
[19:22] Izumida
    Are you sad you don't get
    to hear me shout "abs, abs"?
[19:26] Naruko
    It's the perfect way to cheer someone up.
[19:29] Naruko
    I wanted to show off my secret weapon, too.
[19:35] Izumida
    Then shall we race, Naruko-kun?
[19:38] Naruko
    Bring it on, Lashes!
[19:41] Izumida
    All the muscles in my body are screaming!
[19:45] Naruko
    My blood's about to boil because of you!
[19:48] Naruko
    You've reminded me of last year's battle!
[19:52] Naruko
    It's 200 meters to the big flag up ahead.
[19:55] Naruko
    Let's see who reaches it first!
[19:57] Izumida
    Very well! Abs!
[19:59] Both
    It's on!
[20:01] Imaizumi
    Wait, Naruko.
[20:01] Kuroda
    Wait, Touichirou.
[20:03] Imaizumi
    Don't waste your energy.
[20:05] Imaizumi
    The race has only just started.
[20:09] Kuroda
    Don't jump ahead, Touichirou.
[20:12] Kuroda
    What are you, a grasshopper?
[20:14] Izumida
    My muscles are delighted to have
    returned to the Inter-High.
[20:19] Izumida
    I was expressing how they felt.
[20:21] Kuroda
    Are you a pervert?
[20:22] Izumida
    Is that a compliment, Yuki?
[20:26] Izumida
    My muscles have gotten stronger.
[20:28] Izumida
    They've become more flexible.
[20:31] Izumida
    Far more than last year.
[20:37] Naruko
    I could tell through his clothes.
[20:41] Izumida
    We'll race later, Naruko-kun.
[20:44] Naruko
    Yeah.
[20:46] Izumida
    By the way, what kind of sprinters did
    Sohoku High School send to the sprint battle?
[20:51] Naruko
    What?
[20:52] Izumida
    Our Doubashi is even more abnormal than me.
[20:57] Naruko
    Abnormal?
[20:59] Izumida
    He never slacks off.
[21:02] Izumida
    He's proud to be a part of
    Hakone Academy High School.
[21:05] Izumida
    He's blessed with a powerful body,
    and he's as competitive as a beast.
[21:09] Izumida
    It's as they say. He's a monster.
[21:13] Izumida
    If all you're challenging him with
    is a bit of hard work or talent,
[21:17] Izumida
    you won't beat him.
[21:19] Izumida
    Everyone who has challenged him
    and lost says the same thing.
[21:24] Izumida
    "The moment I caught up to him,
    all the hairs on my body stood up,
[21:28] Izumida
    and my legs quailed."
[21:31] Izumida
    He's even more abnormal than I am.
[23:10] Manami
    It's cold. I need a kotatsu.
[23:13] Toudou
    It's because you're so lightly dressed.
[23:17] Toudou
    Here, put this on. You, too, Four-Eyes.
[23:20] Sakamichi
    B-But won't you be cold, Toudou-san?
[23:24] Toudou
    Don't worry.
[23:26] Toudou
    Not only can I climb,
    but I'm also cold-resistant.
[23:28] Toudou
    On top of that, I'm beautiful.
[23:30] Toudou
    No matter where or when I am, I'm perfect.
