[01:37] Sakamichi
    We still can't see the lead pack.
[01:39] Imaizumi
    Yeah.
[01:40] Sakamichi
    Or Naruko-kun.
[01:41] Imaizumi
    Yeah.
[01:42] Imaizumi
    Where and what is he doing?
[01:45] Imaizumi
    We just passed the Kumamoto Daiichi
    guys that just barely made it out.
[01:49] Imaizumi
    We should've caught up by now.
[01:51] Sakamichi
    But I don't see them.
[01:53] Imaizumi
    Did you make it to the front?
[01:55] Imaizumi
    Does that mean you're fighting alone?
[02:00] Imaizumi
    Onoda, I'll help pull.
[02:03] Imaizumi
    Let's go faster.
[02:04] Sakamichi
    Y-You can't! Fall back!
[02:07] Sakamichi
    You're the ace, Imaizumi-kun!
[02:09] Sakamichi
    You've been letting me conserve
    my strength until now!
[02:11] Sakamichi
    It's okay! I'll pull!
[02:16] Imaizumi
    I may be our ace, but I'm only half a man.
[02:19] Sakamichi
    Huh?
[02:21] Imaizumi
    Until we started today, I thought
    I was a full-fledged ace.
[02:25] Imaizumi
    But during today's race, I came
    to the painful realization
[02:29] Imaizumi
    that I'm still only half a man.
[02:31] Imaizumi
    I couldn't help my teammates.
[02:32] Imaizumi
    I said awful things to my senior.
[02:35] Imaizumi
    My spirit broke immediately.
[02:37] (Flashback) Imaizumi
    Recover faster, Teshima-san!
[02:40] (Flashback) Imaizumi
    Aren't you a climber?
[02:45] (Flashback) Imaizumi
    Why are you smiling?
[02:49] Imaizumi
    What was that sound?
[02:52] Imaizumi
    But...
[02:53] Imaizumi
    While I'm still a long way away from
    being a super ace like Kinjou-san,
[02:59] Imaizumi
    I'm trying. Let me pull for now.
[03:01] Imaizumi
    I'm not mature enough to sit
    back without doing anything.
[03:07] Sakamichi
    Imaizumi-kun...
[03:10] Imaizumi
    Onoda, you truly have saved me.
[03:15] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    Kaburagi-kun and Aoyagi-san
    have just rejoined the team!
[03:20] Imaizumi
    In this precarious situation,
    we got five of our members together.
[03:24] Imaizumi
    Just like Onoda said.
[03:28] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    Um, Imaizumi-kun.
[03:30] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    Aoyagi-san and Kaburagi-kun rejoined the team.
[03:33] (Flashback) Imaizumi
    Y-Yeah, you're right. That's great.
[03:36] (Flashback) Imaizumi
    They're amazing.
[03:39] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    Now that there's five of us, I think
    we can catch up to Kumamoto Daiichi.
[03:43] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    And maybe even reach the
    lead pack where Naruko-kun is.
[03:46] (Flashback) Imaizumi
    Y-Yeah, maybe.
[03:48] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    It's all thanks to you.
[03:52] Imaizumi
    Thanks to me?
[03:54] Imaizumi
    He's not making sense again.
[03:57] Imaizumi
    I made an irremediable mistake.
[04:01] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    I've actually been thinking.
[04:04] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    If you trace events back far enough,
[04:06] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    sometimes you realize it actually
    started with someone small, you know?
[04:10] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    It's about that.
[04:11] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    The two of them rejoined the team when
    Teshima-san was coming up from behind
[04:17] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    and Hakone Academy was leaving,
    during the first mountain.
[04:21] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    I think it's because
[04:23] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    you decided that we should wait.
[04:28] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    Wait, what? A-Am I wrong?
[04:32] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    Sorry.
[04:34] Imaizumi
    Was that the right decision?
[04:39] Imaizumi
    Is that the reason Aoyagi-san
    and Kaburagi caught up?
[04:43] Imaizumi
    The reason there are five of us here now?
[04:48] Imaizumi
    Onoda, how many times
[04:55] Imaizumi
    are you going to save me?
[04:58] Imaizumi
    Onoda! You saved me!
[05:01] Sakamichi
    Huh?
[05:02] Imaizumi
    You can't know if you've made the right
    decision until you've seen the results.
[05:06] Imaizumi
    That's what you were trying to say.
[05:08] Imaizumi
    If that's the case, then I'll
     work as hard as I can.
[05:11] Imaizumi
    It's my only option!
[05:13] Imaizumi
    We'll accelerate as quickly
    as we can while rotating.
[05:15] Imaizumi
    Together, we'll catch up to
    the lead pack! To Naruko!
[05:20] Sakamichi
    Yeah!

[05:28] Toudou
    I see.
[05:29] Hakogaku 1
    Yes. Uh, we just got word
    from the club members below.
[05:34] Hakogaku 1
    Ashikiba-san and Shinkai-kun are
    going after Kyoto Fushimi's ace.
[05:39] Hakogaku 1
    Unfortunately, the race for the
     finish line has... already started...
[05:45] Hakogaku 1
    I-I'm sorry.
[05:47] Hakogaku 1
    You came all the way out
    here to see the race, too.
[05:51] Toudou
    What are you apologizing for? It's no matter.
[05:55] Toudou
    That's just how road races are.
[06:00] Toudou
    So you didn't get to go, Manami.
[06:04] Toudou
    I know you.
[06:05] Toudou
    I'm sure you searched repeatedly
[06:08] Toudou
    for opportunities to race against four-eyes.
[06:11] Toudou
    It couldn't be helped.
[06:13] Toudou
    But the race isn't over yet.
[06:16] Toudou
    You'll have other opportunities.
[06:18] Hakogaku 1
    Wh-Where are you going, Toudou-san?
SIGN    Elevation
[06:24] Toudou
    I came all the way here.
[06:26] Toudou
    I'm heading down to the finish line
     to watch the race from there.
[06:33] Toudou
    It's a bit too sad to see a mountain line
     race that isn't led by a climber.
[06:39] Hakogaku 1
    His aura is incredible.
[06:42] Hakogaku 2
    That's the Mountain God,
    the legendary Toudou-san.
[06:46] Hakogaku 2
    I actually spoke to him.
[06:50] Toudou
    Hakone Academy has won all
    the number tags so far.
[06:54] Toudou
    Since Izumida took the sprint,
    they've gained even more momentum.
[06:58] Toudou
    But there are other powerful teams
    who won't take that lying down.
[07:03] Toudou
    They'll do whatever it takes to win.
[07:07] Toudou
    This finish line won't be easily taken.
[07:11] Toudou
    Kyoto Fushimi and Sohoku will
    make desperate plays for it, too.

    Approaching Kyoto Fushimi.
[07:20] Yuto
    We might be able to catch up.
[07:22] Midousuji
    Move!
[07:23] Yuto
    The redhead in front of
    them is slowing them down.
[07:26] Ashikiba
    Keep going.
[07:27] Ashikiba
    Don't let your guard down until we catch up.
[07:30] Ashikiba
    Or even after we do.

    You stop, you purple seaweed!

[07:49] Midousuji
    They're not coming!
     Your teammates aren't coming!
[07:54] Midousuji
    It's just a delusion!
[07:57] Midousuji
    A wish that won't come true!
[07:59] Naruko
    Someone will come!
     I have a feeling they will.
[08:04] Naruko
    It'll be real close and down to the wire,
[08:08] Naruko
    but someone who doesn't think
    he's hot stuff will come!
[08:14] Midousuji
    Fine!
[08:15] Midousuji
    There's no getting through to you with words.
[08:19] Naruko
    Come.
[08:20] Midousuji
    I'll have to use my body to make you
[08:23] Midousuji
    understand!
[08:31] Midousuji
    Bodies and bikes touch all the time while
    jockeying for position during a race.
[08:38] Midousuji
    And I can't afford to spend all
    my time entertaining your

    pointless determination and
    retaliatory spirit, Naruko!
[08:49] Mizuto
    #3, Naruko!
[08:52] Mizuto
    He hit the guard rail...
[08:54] Mizuto
    He fell! We did it!
[08:57] Midousuji
    Don't worry. He was at his limit, after all.
[09:02] Midousuji
    He would've fallen either way.
[09:04] Midousuji
    It was just a matter whether it was ten seconds
    from now or thirty seconds from now.
[09:08] Naruko
    Come on, Sohoku. Damn it.
[09:12] Naruko
    Wait up, Midousuji.
[09:15] Yuto
    Kyoto Fushimi's #111 forced
    Sohoku out of his way.
[09:20] Yuto
    Sohoku's #3 is falling.

    He did everything he could, but Sohoku is...

    Sohoku's Naruko...
[09:28] Naruko
    I did my job.
[09:32] Naruko
    I stuck to them, defended Sohoku's jersey,
[09:37] Naruko
    and held them back until I reached my limit!
[09:44] Naruko
    So come.
[09:48] Naruko
    Come!

    Come on, hotshot!

    with a grunt and a gasp.

    You're supposed to have fallen behind!
[10:58] Imaizumi
    I'm still only half a man.
[11:01] Imaizumi
    I can't even move forward without help.
[11:04] Imaizumi
    I can't make it this far
    on my strength alone.
[11:07] Imaizumi
    So I'll say it.
[11:10] Imaizumi
    In order to inspire myself.
[11:13] Imaizumi
    In order to accept that weighty

    I know he cracked at the first peak.

    crack, crack, crack, crack.

    So why? How did he do it?

    Crack!
[11:52] Sakamichi
    Imaizumi-kun, how's Naruko-kun?
[11:54] Imaizumi
    He's fine. There was still life in his eyes.
[11:57] Imaizumi
    Teshima-san and the others will pick him up.

    He's pushed himself to his limit.
[12:04] Imaizumi
    Thanks to you, we caught up, Naruko.
[12:07] Imaizumi
    You were supremely flashy!

    Yeah!

    We'd better do our job, too.

    We're carrying his and the team's hopes.

    Let's go, Onoda!

    We'll take our jerseys
    to the finish line first!

    Yeah!

    What are you doing?

    Another fly caught up.

    Why are you casually cycling?

    Pull ahead of them, Mizuta!

    Don't let them pull ahead, Yuto!

    Hold on. Wait, Midousuji-kun.

    it's fine if I fall apart.

    I'm your talented launching pad.

    that this late in the game?

    Was he holding back? Is this the

    Do guys like him exist?

    race against the Mountain King.

    I have to beat him,

    As a climber, that's my job.
[19:06] Sakamichi
    Are you watching, Makishima-san?
[19:10] Sakamichi
    Kinjou-san said you were in Japan.
[19:13] Sakamichi
    If you're watching somewhere—
[19:16] Sakamichi
    No, if you read in the news later
    that we worked really hard,
[19:24] Sakamichi
    just that would make me happy.
[19:28] Fan N
    He's almost caught up!
[19:30] Fan O
    Damn, Sohoku's amazing!
[19:32] Fan P
    Kyoto Fushimi, don't be beaten!
[19:33] Fan Q
    Hakone Academy!
[19:37] Makishima
    I left the others at the finish line
[19:40] Makishima
    to come to the mountains alone,
     and here you are.
[19:43] Makishima
    Why do you always work so
    hard that I feel embarrassed?
[19:52] Makishima
    You're physically small,
    but you're huge, Onoda.
[19:57] Makishima
    Keep it up, Sakamichi.
[20:01] Makishima
    Stay on your path.
[20:04] Sakamichi
    It was hard. It took some time.
[20:09] Imaizumi
    He really is amazing.
SIGN    Road Race*
    Distance to Day 2
     Mountain Checkpoint
[20:13] Sakamichi
    But at 500 meters remaining,
[20:17] Sakamichi
    we caught up to the front!
[20:19] Fan R
    Sohoku and Hakone Academy
    caught up to Kyoto Fushimi!
[20:23] Fan S
    Amazing! Damn!
[20:34] Sakamichi
    We caught up.
[20:40] Imaizumi
    Thanks, Sakamichi.
[20:43] Sakamichi
    Sure.
[20:46] Fan T
    Look! Sohoku's rotating Onoda back
    and sending someone else ahead!
[20:52] Fan U
    It's tag #2, their ace, Imaizumi!
[20:55] Fan V
    He's neck and neck with Kyoto Fushimi's ace!
[20:59] Imaizumi
    Come on, Midousuji.
     Attack whenever you're ready.
[21:02] Imaizumi
    I'll stop all your attempts.
[21:06] Midousuji
    What? What?
[21:08] Midousuji
    What is this?
[21:10] Midousuji
    What is this pressure?
[21:12] Midousuji
    He's just Crackizumi!
[21:17] Midousuji
    O-Over here, too.
[21:19] Midousuji
    Shinkai's little brother!
[21:21] Yuto
    We're ready, too.
[21:23] Yuto
    We'll stop you.
[21:25] Midousuji
    And behind him is
[21:29] Midousuji
    their ace, Ashikiba!
[21:35] Midousuji
    My only remaining option is...
[23:12] Sakamichi
    Metamorphose...
[23:15] Sakamichi
    Princess, Princess.
[23:17] Yuto
    Mountain King?
[23:19] Yuto
    You're interested in this kind of thing?
[23:21] Sakamichi
    He's so close!
[23:22] Yuto
    Mountain King, do you have feminine desires?
[23:26] Yuto
    Does it make your heart pound?
[23:28] Sakamichi
    What?
[23:30] Sakamichi
    Shinkai-kun, do you like anime?
[23:35] Yuto
    He's so close!
