[00:10] Midousuji
    So, what did you want to discuss, uh...
[00:15] Yamaguchi
    His name is Ise.
[00:16] Yamaguchi
    He's a third-year at Kumamoto Daiichi.
[00:18] Midousuji
    Kumamoto? Ise-kun?
[00:21] Midousuji
    Oh, the guy we used yesterday.
[00:28] (Flashback) Ise
    We finally caught up to the front.
[00:32] (Flashback) Midousuji
    Now, Zakus!
[00:41] Ise
    That's right. Because of you,
     our team was scattered.
[00:46] Ise
    Our only option was to get swallowed by
     the pack and cross the finish line that way.
[00:48] Midousuji
    Don't tell me you came to complain.
[00:51] Midousuji
    That was a race.
[00:53] Midousuji
    If you're going to resent anyone, then resent
     yourselves for not predicting
[00:56] Midousuji
    what would happen and being
    too weak to keep up.
[00:59] Yamaguchi
    Midousuji, you shouldn't say that.
[01:01] Ise
    You're right.
[01:02] Yamaguchi
    What?
[01:03] Ise
    It was all our—no, my fault.
[01:08] Ise
    Despite being responsible for leading
    Kyushu's great Kumamoto Daiichi team,
[01:12] Ise
    at this rate, I'm heading for a
    disappointing finish two years in a row.
[01:17] Ise
    I can't allow that to happen, so...
[01:22] Ise
    Please.
[01:24] Midousuji
    Oh?
[01:25] Ise
    Midousuji, you're a strategist.
[01:28] Ise
    You took advantage of the confusion
     to win the race yesterday.
[01:34] Ise
    You must have some method we can
    use to turn our situation around.
[01:37] Midousuji
    A method? Method?
[01:41] Midousuji
    Method?
[01:45] Midousuji
    Come up with one yourself.
[01:49] Midousuji
    Didn't I tell you?
[01:50] Midousuji
    This is a race. I'm not obligated
    to tell you anything.
[01:56] Midousuji
    That's what I'd like to say, but...
[02:00] Midousuji
    Fine, then. It seems like I apparently
    owe you guys something,
[02:06] Midousuji
    so I don't mind showing you a method
    that'll turn your situation around.
[02:12] Midousuji
    But I have one condition.
[02:17] Ise
    A condition?
SIGN    Yowamushi Pedal
SIGN    Piranhas
[03:58] Announcer
    The last group is finally starting!
SIGN    Utsunomiya
[04:15] Reporter A
    The last group is starting at last, huh?
[04:19] Reporter B
    They're pretty far behind the lead pack.
[04:21] Reporter C
    Yeah. Honestly, it'll probably impossible
    for any of them to reach the lead pack.
[04:28] Ise
    Don't give up! Listen up, guys!
[04:31] Ise
    I am Kumamoto Daiichi's captain, Ise Shinya!
[04:35] Reporter A
    Ise?
[04:36] Reporter B
    Higo's Drill Sergeant, huh?
[04:38] Reporter C
    What's he doing now?
[04:40] Ise
    I'm taking command of this pack!
[04:43] All
    What?
[04:45] Ise
    The whole pack's gonna come together,
    cooperate, and chase after the front!
[04:50] Rider A
    The front?
[04:51] Rider B
    As in the lead pack?
[04:52] Ise
    That's right! Today's the last day!
     We've got nothing to lose!
[04:57] Ise
    Give everything you've got!
[04:59] Ise
    Let's work together to reach the lead pack!
[05:01] Ise
    Fukuoka Jousei!
[05:03] Ise
    Yamaguchi teams Yamagiwa and Okutani!
[05:07] Ise
    Niigata teams Joetsu Higashi and Yaguramaru!
[05:09] Ise
    Local Tochigi teams Utsunomiya Chuo,
[05:13] Ise
    Tosaumi High School, and Shimizu!
[05:15] Ise
    None of you want it to end like this, do you?
[05:17] Ise
    This is your last Inter-High!
[05:20] Ise
    Shouldn't we show them
    how strong we really are?
[05:24] Utsunomiya Chuo A
    The lead pack? Can we really do that?
[05:27] Utsunomiya Chuo B
    But it's true that we've got nothing to lose.
[05:31] Rider D
    We might be able to do
    it with this many guys.
[05:34] Rider D
    Yeah, with a pack this large...
[05:36] Rider F
    To the front!
[05:37] Rider G
    To the front!
[05:39] Utsunomiya Chuo A
    Let's do this.
[05:40] Utsunomiya Chuo B
    We'll show them what we can do.
[05:42] Ise
    All right! That's the spirit!
[05:44] Ise
    Now, let's accelerate!
[05:46] All
    Yeah!
[05:49] Kaburagi
    Man, this feels awesome.
[05:53] Kaburagi
    You just wait, Onoda-san, Imaizumi-san.
[05:57] Kaburagi
    This Coordinated Kaburagi Superexpress
    will catch up in no time.
[06:04] Doubashi
    What are you calling the
    Kaburagi Superexpress, orange?
[06:08] Doubashi
    It's not your place to name us.
[06:11] Kaburagi
    Don't sweat the small stuff, Doubashi-kun.
[06:14] Doubashi
    That's Doubashi-san to you!
[06:16] Fan A
    They're so fast!
[06:17] Fan B
    Last year's winners Sohoku and champions
    Hakone Academy are cooperating!
[06:21] Fan C
    What an incredible sight!
[06:24] Izumida
    Yuki, what do you think the
    riders behind us will do?
[06:28] Izumida
    Huge packs are likely
    to form on the last day.
[06:31] Izumida
    If they work together to chase after us...
[06:37] Kuroda
    You worry too much, Touichiro.
[06:40] Izumida
    It caused a lot of chaos last year.
[06:49] Kawahara
    Are you listening, Bunya and Ishimaru?
[06:51] Both
    Yes, sir.
[06:52] Kawahara
    Our team is currently in fourth place behind
[06:55] Kawahara
    Hakone Academy, Sohoku, and Kyoto Fushimi.
[06:57] Ineshiro
    Yes, sir.
[06:58] Kawahara
    We had to stop pedaling in the
    mountains on the first day,
[07:01] Kawahara
    but yesterday, we put our legs
    to good use on Mt. Haruna
[07:04] Kawahara
    and finished in a decent position.
[07:06] Kawahara
    The front is still within our grasp.
[07:08] Both
    Gunpei-san!
[07:10] Kawahara
    Let's go. It's the final day.
[07:12] Kawahara
    We'll show them how strong
    Yamagata Mogami really is.
[07:15] Both
    Yes, sir!
[07:20] Ineshiro
    Huh?
[07:21] Ishimaru
    This sound...
[07:22] Ishimaru
    It's the pack.
[07:23] Ineshiro
    You're kidding.
    How'd they get here so quickly?
[07:29] (Flashback) Ise
    A condition?
[07:31] (Flashback) Midousuji
    You'll be piranhas.
[07:33] (Flashback) Ise
    What?
[07:35] (Flashback) Midousuji
    They're fish that live in the Amazon
    and have lots of sharp, little teeth.
[07:40] (Flashback) Ise
    Uh, okay...
[07:42] (Flashback) Midousuji
    But even piranhas are
    puny little small fry.
[07:46] (Flashback) Midousuji
    No matter how sharp their teeth are,
    a single one can easily be swatted away.
[07:52] (Flashback) Midousuji
    But what about two? Or three? Four? Five?
[07:59] (Flashback) Midousuji
    What about ten, twenty, fifty?
[08:07] Kawahara
    If we get swallowed up by this pack...
[08:09] (Flashback) Midousuji
    Each individual fish is no serious threat.
[08:12] (Flashback) Midousuji
    But piranhas are terrifying in large groups.
[08:17] Ise
    Get him!
[08:24] Rider D
    All right. Got another one.
[08:27] Rider E
    We've got this.
[08:28] Rider F
    If we keep this up, we can do it.
[08:29] Rider G
    To the front!
[08:31] Ise
    Faster. Let's go even faster.
[08:34] All
    Yeah!
[08:39] Niwazuma
    They're cooperating, huh?
[08:41] Niwazuma
    That's our strongest strategy.
[08:47] Niwazuma
    The more people there are in
    a pack, the faster it goes.
[08:50] Niwazuma
    But on the other hand, it also
    becomes more difficult to control.
[08:55] Niwazuma
    The leader of a pack needs charisma
    to unite those around him.
[09:00] Urakubo
    That's right.
[09:02] Niwazuma
    But even if you know that, it's no easy task.
[09:05] Niwazuma
    Like with Machimiya-san last year,
[09:07] Niwazuma
    the pack needs strength
    and hope to reach the front.
[09:12] Urakubo
    Sorry, Niwazuma.
[09:14] Niwazuma
    Enough already, Urakubo.
[09:17] Urakubo
    I brought you down with me
     when I fell yesterday.
[09:22] Urakubo
    You should be out there
    chasing down a big one, too.
SIGN    Hiroshima
     Kureminami Tech
[09:28] Urakubo
    We were going to take down those
    Sohoku third-years Teshima and Aoyagi.
[09:35] Niwazuma
    A single mistake can take away
    your opportunities in road racing.
[09:40] Niwazuma
    I can't help that I dropped out of the race.
[09:42] Niwazuma
    And besides, as Kure's Landshark,
    you must be more frustrated.
[09:47] Urakubo
    Nah, I just wanted you to
    see me take down a big one.
[09:54] Niwazuma
    Urakubo...
[10:00] Kaburagi
    What's wrong, Aoyagi-san?
[10:02] Kaburagi
    Did you drop something?
[10:05] Kaburagi
    You gotta keep your supplements safe
    and secure in your back pocket.
[10:09] Kaburagi
    Oh, are you worried about the pack?
[10:13] Kaburagi
    It's all right. We're more than
    ten minutes ahead of them.
[10:18] Kaburagi
    Not even a pack can close that gap.
[10:26] Manami
    The wind has changed.
[10:28] Kaburagi
    Don't worry.
[10:30] Kaburagi
    Nothing's going to happen.
[10:32] Kaburagi
    After all, the Cooperative
    Kaburagi Superexpress...
[10:36] Kaburagi
    is so fun and fast!
[10:38] Kaburagi
    What's better than that?
[10:41] Kabruagi
    We'll catch up to the lead pack in
    no time and meet up with our teams.
[10:45] Kaburagi
    Look, I see two of them now.
[10:52] Kaburagi
    Two guys are no match for our Superexpress.
[10:55] Kaburagi
    Let's pass them right quick.
[11:00] Kaburagi
    And they worked so hard yesterday, too.
[11:02] Kaburagi
    They probably worked too hard.
[11:03] Kaburagi
    They couldn't keep up, so Kyoto
    Fushimi fell back from the lead pack.
[11:11] Naruko
    Midousuji!
[11:13] Izumida
    That's the second day's winner, Midousuji!
[11:17] Kaburagi
    Since we're passing these two,
    the lead pack must be just ahead.
[11:21] Kaburagi
    Whoa there, Kyoto Fushimi.
[11:23] Kaburagi
    You want to cooperate? Non, non.
[11:25] Kaburagi
    You're not getting on this train.
[11:28] Kaburagi
    You can join us later, if you can.
[11:37] Teshima
    Naruko!
[11:40] Kaburagi
    Huh? Naruko-san?
[11:41] Izumida
    Naruko?
[11:43] Naruko
    Hey, seaweed head!
[11:45] Izumida
    Yikes. Sohoku?
[11:46] Naruko
    Seriously?
[11:48] Naruko
    Did you fall behind for real?
[11:51] Midousuji
    Naruko, are you sure you
    should be leaving your line?
[11:56] Midousuji
    Your train will leave without you.
[11:59] Naruko
    It's just for a second.
[12:01] Naruko
    I'll head back as soon as
    I'm done talkin' to you.
[12:03] Naruko
    Were you unable to keep up?
[12:05] Naruko
    Are your legs exhausted from yesterday?
[12:09] Midousuji
    What, are you worried about little old me?
[12:16] Naruko
    Yeah, that's why I'm askin'!
[12:19] Naruko
    Races are no fun if your
    opponents aren't strong.
[12:21] Naruko
    Winnin' a race because your opponent was
    sick or his legs were in poor shape is lame.
[12:28] Naruko
    On the first day, you and I tied for second.
[12:31] Naruko
    Yesterday, you pulled off a crazy
    strategy and claimed first place.
[12:36] Naruko
    I was super pissed when I heard about that,
[12:39] Naruko
    but after that, I thought
    you were amazing, honestly.
[12:44] Kaburagi
    Naruko-san, just leave him. Let's go.
[12:48] Naruko
    If this is a strategy of yours,
     then bring it on.
[12:51] Naruko
    But if you've really fallen behind
    because you don't have the strength,
[12:54] Naruko
    and your race ends here, then...
[12:58] Midousuji
    Then?
[12:59] Naruko
    Then I'll roll you up in a takoyaki
     and swallow you whole.
[13:03] Naruko
    Last winter, I lost to you.
[13:07] Naruko
    I lost, I cried, and I quit being a sprinter.
[13:11] Naruko
    Until now, I've trained with the intention
    of beating you and reclaiming that.
[13:17] Naruko
    But if that's all gonna end like this,
[13:20] Naruko
    I won't be able to sleep at night.
[13:23] Midousuji
    Winners should be able to sleep well,
     drunk on their own victory.
[13:33] Naruko
    Don't dodge the question, Midousuji.
[13:35] Teshima
    Naruko, come back up.
    We can't wait any longer.
[13:39] Naruko
    Damn it. See you later, seaweed head.
[13:43] Midousuji
    See you later, chicken-headed bean.
[13:48] Mizuta
    What was that about?
[13:51] Mizuta
    He must be out of his mind
[13:53] Mizuta
    to leave the line in the middle of
    a race just to talk to an opponent.
[14:00] Mizuta
    I think that's the first time someone's
    worried about you, Midousuji-kun.
[14:05] Mizuta
    He really meant it.
[14:08] Midousuji
    Chicken-headed bean...
[14:11] Midousuji
    It's true that I'll fall behind here, but...
[14:23] Midousuji
    Don't worry, Naruko.
[14:26] Midousuji
    I'll turn this situation
    around before you know it.
SIGN    Yowamushi Pedal
[14:37] (Flashback) Mizuta
    What?
[14:38] (Flashback) Mizuta
    M-Midousuji-kun, what did you just say?
[14:42] (Flashback) Midousuji
    I said I want everyone to shave
    their heads by tomorrow morning.
SIGN    Congratulations Kyoto Fushimi

SIGN    Victory Celebration Meeting
[14:48] (Flashback) Midousuji
    It seems like you're
    confused about something.
[14:54] (Flashback) Mizuta
    Wait, wait, wait. But we won.
[14:57] (Flashback) Mizuta
    We won the second day.
[14:58] (Flashback) Mizuta
    Can't we at least celebrate today—
[15:03] (Flashback) Yamaguchi
    Midousuji-kun...
[15:06] (Flashback) Yamaguchi
    I-I'd like to ask you to reconsider, too.
[15:09] Funatsu
    Yamaguchi-san?
[15:10] Mizuta
    How unusual.
[15:12] (Flashback) Yamaguchi
    I think shaving our heads is a step too far.
[15:17] (Flashback) Yamaguchi
    You've made your point.
[15:19] (Flashback) Yamaguchi
    The team is ready for tomorrow.
[15:21] (Flashback) Midousuji
    Oh, yeah? You're ready?
[15:25] (Flashback) Midousuji
    Then why don't we cut our hair right now?
[15:27] (Flashback) Yamaguchi
    What?
[15:28] (Flashback) Midousuji
    You can, can't you?
[15:30] (Flashback) Midousuji
    If you're really so mentally
    prepared for tomorrow,
[15:34] (Flashback) Midousuji
    then cutting your hair should be no big deal!
[15:38] (Flashback) Midousuji
    You've gotta throw away all
    meaningless vanity and adornments.
[15:44] (Flashback) Funatsu
    Damn it. Why do we have to
    cut our hair after we won?
[15:49] (Flashback) Mizuta
    Wait. Take one last picture
    before you cut it.
[15:51] (Flashback) First Year A
    Okay.
[15:53] (Flashback) First Year B
    Are you sure, Yamaguchi-san?
[15:55] (Flashback) Yamaguchi
    Huh? Yeah.
[16:00] Yamaguchi
    Sorry, Ishigaki-san.
[16:03] Yamaguchi
    I failed to become Midousuji's conscience.
[16:07] Yamaguchi
    He's not someone I can handle.
[16:11] Yamaguchi
    I don't mind being in the
    background after all.
[16:13] Yamaguchi
    I'm not meant to fight on the front lines.
[16:20] Yamaguchi
    Kishigami...
[16:22] Yamaguchi
    Is he really letting them cut his hair?
[16:26] Yamaguchi
    Guys like him who have something
    exceptional aren't even shaken by it.
[16:31] Yamaguchi
    I certainly do feel like I've
    got nothing left to throw away.
[16:36] (Flashback) Midousuji
    Yamaguchi-kun?
[16:37] (Flashback) Yamaguchi
    Midousuji-kun.
[16:40] (Flashback) Midousuji
    Tomorrow is the last day.
[16:42] (Flashback) Midousuji
    We won today.
[16:44] (Flashback) Yamaguchi
    Y-Yeah, thanks to your efforts.
[16:48] (Flashback) Midousuji
    Today was such a nice day, wasn't it?
[16:52] Yamaguchi
    Does he want me to compliment him?
[16:55] (Flashback) Midousuji
    But that's in the past now.
[16:59] (Flashback) Midousuji
    We'll advance. Forward, forward, forward.
[17:05] (Flashback) Midousuji
    I came to talk to you about tomorrow.
[17:08] (Flashback) Midousuji
    I thought I'd have you
    perform an important job.
[17:13] Yamaguchi
    An important job?
[17:16] (Flashback) Midousuji
    I'm only going to tell you about this phase.
[17:22] Funatsu
    Yamaguchi-san, the pack's right behind us.
[17:28] Yamaguchi
    Funatsu Kazuho, Kishigami Komari.
[17:32] Yamaguchi
    It's time for phase number 99.
[17:34] Yamaguchi
    The rest of the Kyoto Fushimi team
    is going to keep cruising along.
[17:39] Funatsu
    Cruise along?
[17:41] Yamaguchi
    Entrust your fates to me.
[17:56] Funatsu
    Phase, my ass. Fate, my ass.
[17:59] Funatsu
    We haven't accomplished anything!
[18:02] Funatsu
    We shaved our heads for nothing!
[18:04] Urakubo
    It takes a big one.
[18:06] Niwazuma
    What?
[18:07] Urakubo
    Chasing after the front requires a leader.
[18:10] Urakubo
    One who never breaks,
    no matter the circumstances.
[18:12] Urakubo
    A big one with an unyielding will.
[18:16] Niwazuma
    What would happen if that
    pack got a leader like that?
[18:21] Urakubo
    Then they just might
    catch up to the lead pack.
[18:26] Yamaguchi
    Funatsu, raise your head.
[18:27] Funatsu
    Huh?
[18:28] Yamaguchi
    It's not over yet.
[18:30] Yamaguchi
    No, our phase begins now.
[18:34] Yamaguchi
    Ise.
[18:35] Ise
    You came, Yamaguchi.
[18:37] Yamaguchi
    Yeah. We're piranhas now, too.
[18:41] Yamaguchi
    Let's go after the front together.
[18:42] Ise
    Yeah.
[18:43] Rider N
    "You came?" What's that mean?
[18:45] Rider O
    Didn't we swallow them up?
[18:48] Rider P
    No, that's not how it felt.
[18:50] Rider N
    Were they waiting for us to catch up?
[18:54] Yamaguchi
    Listen up. Starting now,
    I'm taking command of this pack.
[18:58] Yamaguchi
    Me, Yamaguchi Noriyuki of Kyoto Fushimi.
[19:01] Rider K
    Yamaguchi of Kyoto Fushimi?
[19:03] Rider L
    Was he the type of guy
    to say stuff like that?
[19:06] Rider M
    I'm not so sure.
[19:08] Rider M
    Honestly, I have practically
    no memory of what he's like.
[19:11] Rider L
    Me, neither. After all,
    he doesn't stand out much.
[19:14] Rider L
    He's always hiding in Midousuji's shadow.
[19:17] Both
    Midousuji?
[19:19] Yamaguchi
    Ohori, Yaguramaru.
[19:22] Yamaguchi
    Two minutes.
[19:24] Yamaguchi
    I want the two of you to pull
    from the front for two minutes.
[19:26] Ohori
    What?
[19:27] Yaguramaru
    You can't just suddenly issue us orders.
[19:30] Yamaguchi
    In two minutes, I'll pull.
[19:32] Yamaguchi
    Is that good enough for you?
[19:35] Ohori
    Uh... Fine.
[19:39] Rider H
    That must be it.
[19:41] Rider I
    This isn't Yamaguchi's decision.
[19:44] Rider J
    It's Midousuji's strategy.
[19:51] Fujiwara
    Ise-san, was what they just said true?
[19:54] Ise
    It is.
[19:55] Ise
    Today's starting order
[19:57] Ise
    means Midousuji will be riding alone with
    his assist at the start of the race.
[20:01] Ise
    Once Hakone Academy and Sohoku
    get their members together,
[20:04] Ise
    they'll be at a major disadvantage.
[20:05] Ise
    That said, if they slow down to
    meet up with the rest of their team,
[20:10] Ise
    naturally, they'll get left behind.
[20:12] Ise
    In order to keep that gap
    as small as possible,
[20:15] Ise
    we'll raise the pack's pace and
    meet up with Yamaguchi's group.
[20:18] Ise
    Then we'll ride that momentum
    all the way to Midousuji.
[20:22] Fujiwara
    What happens after
    we meet up with Midousuji?
[20:27] Ise
    We'll probably go after the lead pack.
[20:29] Fujiwara
    The lead pack?
[20:31] Rider H
    We've got this!
[20:32] Rider I
    Yeah. As long as we keep
    following Yamaguchi's orders...
[20:36] Rider J
    We'll reach Midousuji, and then...
[20:39] Rider H
    We could actually catch up to the lead pack.
[20:42] Yamaguchi
    Let's swap.
[20:43] Ohori
    Got it.
[20:44] Yaguramaru
    I'm gonna rest a bit.
[20:47] Yamaguchi
    Funatsu, don't fall behind.
[20:48] Funatsu
    What?
[20:50] Yamaguchi
    It'll be your turn after mine.
[20:51] Yamaguchi
    We'll be swapping right away.
[20:56] Funatsu
    He's like a different person, Komari.
[21:02] Funatsu
    It really is impossible to talk to this guy.
[21:05] Yamaguchi
    Funatsu, swap.
[21:07] Funatsu
    Fine, fine.
[21:18] (Flashback) Midousuji
    Because of Ise-kun, my strategy
    required some fine tuning,
[21:23] (Flashback) Midousuji
    but that doesn't change what you need to do.
[21:26] (Flashback) Midousuji
    Do exactly as I told you
    yesterday, Yamaguchi-kun.
[21:31] (Flashback) Yamaguchi
    I know.
[21:35] Yamaguchi
    Is this what you wanted, Midousuji?
[21:40] Yamaguchi
    Swap leaders. I'll pull.
[21:49] Niwazuma
    A big one, huh?
[21:51] Niwazuma
    You think there's someone
    like that inside that pack?
[21:55] Urakubo
    Not right now, but once he joins them,
[22:01] Urakubo
    the pack will become stronger
    than you could ever imagine.
[22:09] Midousuji
    Splish, splash. Splish, splash.
[22:12] Mizuta
    Huh? Did you say something, Midousuji-kun?
[22:16] Midousuji
    I can hear the small fry coming.
[22:20] Mizuta
    What?
[22:27] Midousuji
    The pack. The pack of small fry.
[22:31] Mizuta
    What? Yama...
[22:34] Mizuta
    Why is he pulling the pack?
[22:38] Midousuji
    No, not small fry.
[22:41] Midousuji
    That's a school of piranhas.
[22:44] Mizuta
    P-Pira...? What are those?
[22:47] Midousuji
    You don't need to know.
[22:50] Midousuji
    Let's raise our pace.
[22:52] Mizuta
    Huh? Hey, wait!
[23:06] Yamaguchi
    I'm here, Midousuji.
[23:13] Midousuji
    I've been waiting for you, Yamaguchi-kun.
