[00:05] Sakamichi
    The downhill is finally over.
[00:09] Sakamichi
    I'm finally entering the climb.
[00:17] Sakamichi
    What?
[00:20] Sakamichi
    Midousuji-kun?
[00:22] Sakamichi
    He's on the ground.
[00:24] Sakamichi
    He fell.
[00:26] Sakamichi
    Did he hit something?
[00:29] Sakamichi
    Or did he exhaust himself?
[00:32] Sakamichi
    I should stop and check—
[00:50] (Flashback) Imaizumi
    So follow me.
[00:54] Sakamichi
    But right now...
[01:00] Imaizumi
    I see. Midousuji's out.
[01:03] Sakamichi
    Yeah, before the end.
[01:06] Imaizumi
    So he ran out of steam.
[01:09] Imaizumi
    Well, we did push ourselves to the limit.
[01:12] Sakamichi
    Yeah. For a while, I could
    still see your backs.
[01:15] Sakamichi
    You were both riding like crazy.
[01:18] Imaizumi
    Honestly, it was a close call for me, too.
[01:21] Imaizumi
    I was at my limit, my body was exhausted,
    and the rain made everything slippery.
[01:27] Imaizumi
    Despite all that, I kept turning my
    pedals to get as far ahead as possible.
[01:32] Imaizumi
    The team must've given me the push I needed.
[01:35] Sakamichi
    What?
[01:37] Imaizumi
    I felt like I couldn't afford to lose
    as long as I was wearing this jersey.
[01:45] Imaizumi
    Thank you, Sakamichi.
[01:47] Imaizumi
    When I saw you just now...
[01:52] Imaizumi
    I was actually pretty moved.
[01:54] Sakamichi
    What?
[01:57] Sakamichi
    Yeah, great.
[02:02] Sakamichi
    We're almost there.
[02:03] Imaizumi
    Yeah. I feel kind of excited.
[02:06] Imaizumi
    We're just over two kilometers
    from the finish line.
[02:09] Sakamichi
    Two kilometers? We're that close already?
[02:12] Sakamichi
    It was a long course, but we're finally here.
[02:15] Imaizumi
    Yeah.
[02:16] Sakamichi
    I wonder if Naruko-kun would be happy to
    hear about the one-two finish you mentioned.
[02:33] Imaizumi
    What is this pressure?
[02:35] Sakamichi
    Something's coming from behind us.

[04:42] Aya
    That's amazing.
[04:43] Sadatoki
    Yeah. Onoda-san is amazing.
[04:46] Aya
    Nice work, Sohoku.
[04:48] Aya
    Right, Miki?
[04:49] Miki
    Yeah.
[04:49] Aya
    Hooray! I'm starting to
    look forward to the finish.
[04:54] Aya
    They're gonna win.
[04:55] Aya
    They're gonna place first at the Inter-High.
[04:58] Miki
    Yeah.
[04:58] Aya
    I play tennis pretty seriously, so I understand
     the weight the Inter-High carries.
[05:03] Miki
    Yeah.
[05:04] Aya
    We're talking about first place.
    That's a pretty huge deal.
[05:07] Miki
    Yeah.
[05:08] Aya
    Oh, no. I'm already tearing up.
[05:12] Miki
    Aya-chan, it's too soon.
[05:14] Aya
    But I woke up early and
    stayed up late working.
[05:19] Miki
    That's why?
[05:23] Sugimoto
    Koga-san, Imaizumi is an
    impressive rider after all.
[05:28] Koga
    Yeah.
[05:29] Sugimoto
    It's not certain yet, but they're
    finishing first and second
[05:32] Sugimoto
    after all the difficulties they faced
    yesterday and the day before.
[05:36] Sugimoto
    They finished second yesterday,
     and today they...
[05:40] Sugimoto
    Imaizumi...
[05:44] Sugimoto
    Please, Onoda.
[05:45] Sugimoto
    If you two make it here together,
[05:50] Sugimoto
    give him the push he needs.
[05:52] Sugimoto
    For me.
[05:56] Danchiku
    Wow, there could be a one-two finish...
[05:59] Gorizo
    High five!
[06:02] Danchiku
    The team you joined really is amazing, Issa.
[06:06] Danchiku
    And you gave everything you had.
[06:11] Danchiku
    So did Aoyagi-san on that leg.
[06:16] Danchiku
    Sohoku is a strong team.
[06:19] Danchiku
    I hope I can ride with this team next year
[06:25] Danchiku
    and wear that jersey in this race.
[06:32] Koga
    You've grown, Imaizumi.
[06:36] Koga
    When you joined, you had a terrible attitude.
[06:38] Koga
    You hated losing and prioritized yourself.
[06:43] Koga
    Now, despite your snark,
    you think of the team as you ride.
[06:48] Koga
    You think of our jersey.
[06:53] Koga
    Naruko, Onoda, and all the
    others have grown, too.
[06:56] Koga
    I can tell because I've been watching.
[07:00] Koga
    I'm happy for you, Junta and Aoyagi.
[07:07] Koga
    The boldness you've demonstrated
    has made them stronger.
[07:12] Koga
    I'm proud of you.
[07:19] Koga
    For the remaining 2.5 kilometers...
[07:24] Koga
    I pray that
[07:28] Koga
    nothing happens.
[07:33] Imaizumi
    The pressure is incredible.
[07:35] Sakamichi
    Someone's coming.
[07:36] Imaizumi
    You're kidding. Why now?
[07:39] Imaizumi
    There are only two kilometers remaining.
[07:41] Imaizumi
    Let's raise our pace, Onoda.
[07:43] Sakamichi
    Yeah.
[07:46] Imaizumi
    Imaizumi-kun!
[07:51] Imaizumi
    I exhausted my legs in my
    battle against Midousuji.
[07:53] Imaizumi
    I can't go any faster.
[08:01] Imaizumi
    Go, Onoda. Accelerate on your own.
[08:04] Sakamichi
    What?
[08:05] Imaizumi
    Just go.
[08:10] (Flashback) Imaizumi
    Let's go.
[08:11] (Flashback) Imaizumi
    Sohoku's finishing first and second.
[08:15] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    Yeah.
[08:17] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    I wonder if Naruko-kun would
    be happy to hear about it.
[08:23] Imaizumi
    If they catch up to us, it's all over.
[08:25] Imaizumi
    You need to stay ahead.
[08:27] Imaizumi
    Pedal as hard as you can to the finish line.
[08:30] Sakamichi
    What about you?
[08:32] Imaizumi
    I can't go with you.
[08:33] Imaizumi
    Just ride, Onoda Sa...
[08:41] Kuroda
    You issued those orders a
    little too late, Imaizumi.
[08:46] Manami
    I'm here, Onoda Sakamichi-kun,
     just as promised.
[08:51] Sakamichi
    M-Manami-kun...
[08:56] Imaizumi
    Hakone Academy caught up
     in the eleventh hour.
[09:03] Kuroda
    I pulled as hard as I could
    so he could rest behind me.
[09:07] Kuroda
    And now we've caught up to Sohoku.
[09:11] Kuroda
    All that's left is for you
    to fly up toward the sky.
[09:14] Kuroda
    Go on!
[09:16] Kuroda
    Fly, Manami Sangaku!
[09:20] Manami
    Thank you, Kuroda-san!
[09:25] Imaizumi
    He's fast!
[09:26] Sakamichi
    He's right next to us!
[09:30] Sakamichi
    In an instant...
[09:31] Imaizumi
    He passed us!
[09:37] Fan
    What?
[09:38] Fan
    When did they get there?
[09:39] Fan
    Whose jersey is that?
[09:40] Fan A
    I'm telling you, the situation changed!
[09:43] Fan A
    It's not Sohoku.
[09:44] Fan A
    Hakone Academy's ace climber
    is currently in the lead.
[09:48] Fan A
    #13, Manami Sangaku.
[09:52] Fan A
    Hakone Academy is so fast.
[09:54] Fan A
    And he's smiling.
[10:00] Imaizumi
    Go after him, Onoda.
[10:01] Imaizumi
    He's going for the finish line.
[10:03] Imaizumi
    Go. You're the only one who
    can do anything right now.
[10:07] Sakamichi
    But... why now?
[10:11] Imaizumi
    What are you saying? What are you doing?
[10:14] Imaizumi
    Onoda!
[10:17] Sakamichi
    Manami-kun said "promise."
[10:21] Imaizumi
    That doesn't matter right now.
[10:24] Sakamichi
    Promise...
[10:27] Sakamichi
    At the starting line on the first day...
[10:31] (Flashback) Manami
    On that mountain...
[10:33] (Flashback) Manami
    Let's squeeze every bit of strength
    and fight to the end!
[10:40] Sakamichi
    In the mountains on the second day...
[10:43] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    I'd like to race against Hakone
    Academy's Manami Sangaku-kun.
[10:48] (Flashback) Teshima
    Can you do it, Onoda?
[10:50] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    Yes, sir!
[10:52] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    Sorry, Manami-kun.
[10:54] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    I... I...
[10:58] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    I'm going!
[11:02] Sakamichi
    And today, when the third day started...
[11:07] (Flashback) Manami
    I'll see you later on the
    course, Sakamichi-kun.
[11:12] Sakamichi
    We promised we'd race somewhere.
[11:15] Sakamichi
    That we'd give everything
    we had together again.
[11:22] Imaizumi
    Onoda...
[11:23] Sakamichi
    But this is the critical moment when the
    outcome of all our efforts will be decided.
SIGN    Event & Team Vehicles Turn Left
SIGN    Finish Line Up Ahead
[11:33] Sakamichi
    I didn't think it would happen now.
[11:36] Imaizumi
    Hurry up. Just go.
[11:39] Imaizumi
    Onoda!
SIGN    Yowamushi Pedal
[11:49] (Flashback) Makishima
    Don't be so irritable, Imaizumi.
[11:52] (Flashback) Imaizumi
    Onoda's slow to make decisions.
[11:55] (Flashback) Imaizumi
    It's fine in the mountains,
    but on flats, he'd get left behind,
[11:59] (Flashback) Imaizumi
    like just now.
[12:01] (Flashback) Makishima
    Well, you know, he needs time.
[12:05] (Flashback) Imaizumi
    But he won the Inter-High.
[12:08] (Flashback) Imaizumi
    He needs to get stronger on
    the flats so that next year—
[12:11] (Flashback) Makishima
    Don't be so impatient.
[12:14] (Flashback) Makishima
    Honestly, he is slow to make decisions.
[12:17] (Flashback) Makishima
    Unlike others, he needs
    time to think about things.
[12:23] (Flashback) Makishima
    So when he's having trouble deciding,
     wait for him, Imaizumi.
[12:31] (Flashback) Imaizumi
    Me?
[12:34] (Flashback) Makishima
    Don't worry.
[12:35] (Flashback) Makishima
    He'll find his answer and move forward.
[12:40] (Flashback) Makishima
    He's always
[12:43] (Flashback) Makishima
    straightforward and earnest.
[12:51] Sakamichi
    But I've reconsidered.
[12:55] Sakamichi
    I wondered why this had to happen now,
[12:58] Sakamichi
    but it's probably because it's such
    a difficult and critical moment.
[13:04] Sakamichi
    This is exactly when these things happen.
[13:08] Sakamichi
    So I'm sorry, Imaizumi-kun.
[13:11] Sakamichi
    I can't finish first and
    second with you anymore.
[13:14] Imaizumi
    Onoda...
[13:16] Imaizumi
    You were trying to follow my orders
    to achieve a one-two finish
[13:20] Imaizumi
    in the final moments of the race?
[13:23] Imaizumi
    Seriously...
[13:25] Imaizumi
    Don't apologize.
[13:27] Imaizumi
    I already knew we couldn't
    when my legs stopped moving.
[13:35] Imaizumi
    Don't hold back, Onoda.
[13:37] Imaizumi
    Those orders are now rescinded.
[13:42] Sakamichi
    Imaizumi-kun...
[13:47] Imaizumi
    The situation has changed.
[13:49] Imaizumi
    Your intuition is right.
    We're really screwed.
[13:53] Imaizumi
    So these are your final orders for this race.
[13:58] Imaizumi
    Take our jersey to the finish line first.
[14:03] Imaizumi
    These orders come from everyone on the team!
[14:06] Sakamichi
    Got it!
[14:11] Imaizumi
    Onoda's pressure is rising.
[14:25] Imaizumi
    Go!
[14:27] Imaizumi
    Steel your resolve! Don't look back!
[14:29] Imaizumi
    Be strong, Onoda Sakamichi!
[14:32] Onoda
    Yes, sir!
[14:40] Imaizumi
    We're still in this.
[14:42] Imaizumi
    If you hadn't caught up...
[14:45] Imaizumi
    If I'd been alone, they would've
    won the race for sure.
[14:50] Imaizumi
    But you apologized? Stupid.
[14:54] Imaizumi
    I should be thanking you, Onoda.
[14:58] Imaizumi
    You're always saying ridiculous things.
[15:03] Imaizumi
    And every time, your words save me.
[15:06] Imaizumi
    Thank you. To me, you're a Superman
    with glasses who's always by my side.
[15:15] Fan B
    Sohoku is jumping ahead!
[15:17] Fan C
    He's climbing like crazy!
[15:19] Fan B
    That's #1, Onoda Sakamichi, the guy who
    conquered Mt. Fuji at last year's Inter-High!
[15:25] Fan C
    What? That little guy is the
    legendary climber, the Mountain King?
[15:31] Sakamichi
    I'm going now, Imaizumi-kun.
[15:34] Sakamichi
    Thank you for giving me a push.
[15:37] (Flashback) Imaizumi
    Be strong!
[15:39] Sakamichi
    Be strong, be strong...
[15:43] Sakamichi
    Be strong!
[15:48] Sakamichi
    I see Manami-kun.
[15:50] Fan D
    Wow. Sohoku's Onoda chased after Hakone
    Academy's Manami when he jumped ahead.
[15:57] Fan D
    They're going to battle with
    only two kilometers to go?
[16:03] Fan E
    Didn't they battle last year, too?
[16:05] Fan D
    Yeah, but it has more meaning now.
[16:07] Fan D
    It's been a year since then.
[16:10] Fan D
    In one year, Onoda's been
    nicknamed the Mountain King.
[16:14] Fan D
    He's famous enough to attract
    a crowd at hill climbs.
[16:19] Fan D
    Meanwhile, Manami has won every
    hill climb he's raced in over the past year.
[16:25] Fan D
    In most cases, he set a new course record.
[16:29] Fan D
    Those who raced against him
    say he climbed so lightly,
[16:33] Fan D
    they thought he'd fly up into the sky.
[16:37] Fan D
    Apparently, he instantly passes people
    with a pleasant smile on his face.
[16:43] Fan D
    They call him...
[16:45] Fan D
    The winged noble of the
    heavens, the Sky Prince.
[16:49] Fan D
    All those racing against him could
    do was watch his back recede.
[16:54] Manami
    I knew you'd come to the front
    of the Inter-High, Sakamichi-kun.
[17:03] Sakamichi
    Yeah, Manami-kun.
[17:07] Manami
    It didn't have to be at the very end.
[17:11] Sakamichi
    What?
[17:13] Manami
    If you get two meters closer
    to me, we'll have to race.
[17:21] Sakamichi
    If I get two meters closer?
[17:24] Manami
    I know we promised we'd race,
[17:28] Manami
    that it'd be nice if we could go all-out
    against each other at the Inter-High,
[17:35] Manami
    but it didn't have to be at
    the very end of the third day.
[17:43] Manami
    It carries too much weight.
[17:45] Manami
    Any contest between us would
    be a contest between our teams.
[17:51] Sakamichi
    He feels the same way I do.
[17:55] Sakamichi
    Manami-kun!
[17:57] Manami
    I was hoping for something more relaxed,
[18:00] Manami
    like a mountain result line
    or competing for third place.
[18:04] Sakamichi
    Yeah.
[18:06] Sakamichi
    I'm glad.
[18:08] Sakamichi
    I understand that. I feel the same way.
[18:18] Manami
    But things don't always go as planned.
[18:24] Manami
    You didn't come in the
    mountains on the first day.
[18:30] Manami
    We didn't get to race on the second day.
[18:34] Manami
    And today, on the third and final day,
[18:37] Manami
    we're both riding as the last
    remaining members of our teams.
[18:41] Manami
    We finally have the opportunity
    to race, and it's at the very end,
[18:46] Manami
    with two kilometers remaining
    to the finish line.
[18:50] Manami
    But I believe...
[18:52] Manami
    Suppose there's a God watching
    over us who decides our fates.

    What's important is that we now have the

    And we should be grateful for the

    To the fullest...
[19:55] Sakamichi
    Yeah.
[19:57] Manami
    That's what it means to accept fate.
[20:02] Sakamichi
    Accept fate...
[20:09] Fan F
    Sohoku's accelerating!
[20:11] Fan G
    He's closing in on Hakone Academy!
[20:14] Sakamichi
    If I get two meters closer, we'll race.
[20:17] Manami
    That's right. If you catch up,
     I'll have to pull ahead.
[20:22] Manami
    If you pass me, I'll have to pass you back.
[20:25] Manami
    You've steeled your resolve, Sakamichi-kun.

[20:51] Fan J
    They were talking.
[20:52] Fan I
    Yeah.
[20:53] Fan H
    They were even laughing.
[20:55] Fan I
    But Sohoku got a determined look in
    his eye when they reached the sign.

    Then he closed the gap.

    Manami-kun removed his gloves.
[21:37] Manami
    I can feel the wind of this race with all five senses and my prickling skin.
[21:45] Manami
    The tension is pleasant.
[21:49] Manami
    I won't hold back, Sakamichi-kun.
[21:53] Sakamichi
    He unzipped his jersey, too.
[21:55] Manami
    After all, it'd be a waste not
    to go all-out against you.
[22:03] Manami
    Sakamichi-kun!
[22:05] Sakamichi
    Manami-kun!
[22:07] Manami
    We can never experience this moment again.
[22:11] Sakamichi
    Manami-kun, I can feel your
    overwhelming competitive spirit.
[22:18] Sakamichi
    I feel like I'd be blown away
[22:20] Sakamichi
    if I didn't maintain my focus all the
    way out to my fingertips and toes.
[22:26] Sakamichi
    Focus and be strong.
[22:29] Sakamichi
    Be strong.
[22:31] Sakamichi
    Pedal with all your might.
[22:34] Sakamichi
    Manami-kun!
[22:36] Manami
    Fate...
[22:38] Manami
    Perhaps this was destined to happen...
[22:46] Manami
    ever since that day.
[22:50] Manami
    Perhaps this year was
    destined to end like this.
[22:55] Sakamichi
    We're currently racing against each other.
[23:00] Sakamichi
    I've been waiting for this moment.
[23:10] Manami
    Ever since that day...
[23:14] Sakamichi
    We met in early spring...
