[00:21] Sakamichi
    Makishima-san...
[00:24] Makishima
    Why do you look so dejected,
[00:26] (Flashback) Makishima
    Sakamichi?
[00:40] Sakamichi
    I wonder why?
[00:42] Sakamichi
    Lately, I've been able to recall
    so clearly the feeling of him
[00:47] Sakamichi
    slapping me on the back.
[00:51] Sakamichi
    No, no!
[00:53] Sakamichi
    Makishima-san asked me
    to make Sohoku stronger.
[01:00] (Flashback) Makishima
    We're counting on you to carry our Sohoku.
[01:04] Sakamichi
    That's why I can't lose heart.
[01:08] Sakamichi
    I have to shake off the
    past and move forward.
[01:13] Sakamichi
    I'm taking the lead!

[02:57] Naruko
    Onoda-kun, you've been falling a lot lately.
[03:00] Naruko
    Are you sure you're not being overeager?
[03:02] Teshima
    Are you hurt?
[03:03] Sakamichi
    N-No, I'm fine.
[03:06] Imaizumi
    You're always diving into the grass.
[03:09] Imaizumi
    Are you still not used to your bike?
[03:14] Sakamichi
    Y-Yeah, that's it.
[03:15] Sakamichi
    Riding a new bike sure is hard.
[03:18] Sakamichi
    It's too light, and the brakes work too well.
[03:24] Naruko
    Can I refill my water bottle at
    the vending machine up ahead?
[03:27] Imaizumi
    Yeah, same.
[03:32] Sakamichi
    Teshima-san...
[03:34] Teshima
    Is this about Makishima-san?
[03:36] Sakamichi
    Huh?
[03:38] (Flashback) Kinjou
    Makishima is quitting the team today.
[03:43] Sakamichi
    N-No...
[03:45] Teshima
    Really? That's fine, then.
[03:47] Teshima
    It's dangerous to practice
    while lost in thought.
[03:50] Teshima
    Be careful.
[03:52] Sakamichi
    Yes, sir.
[03:53] Teshima
    Now that Makishima-san is gone,
    you're Sohoku's only climber.
[04:03] Naruko
    Shall we sprint to the top, like usual?
[04:07] All
    Yeah!
[04:09] Naruko
    It's just a 200 meter slope.
[04:11] Naruko
    That's short enough to sprint up.
[04:14] Imaizumi
    Don't push yourself too hard.
[04:16] Sakamichi
    A slope? Climbing?
[04:19] Sakamichi
    That's right. I...
[04:22] Sakamichi
    I have to work harder.
[04:32] Sakamichi
    My power...
[04:34] Sakamichi
    It's no use. I can't get any power.
[04:46] Teshima
    Onoda...
[04:49] Sakamichi
    Sorry, Teshima-san! Er, Captain!
[04:52] Sakamichi
    You must be here to ask me what I'm
    doing when I'm supposed to be a climber.
[04:56] Sakamichi
    I... I'll get my head back
    on straight and climb!
[05:00] Teshima
    No, it's fine. Let's take it slow.
[05:02] Sakamichi
    Huh?
[05:04] Teshima
    The weather's nice.
[05:07] Teshima
    Does it hurt, Onoda?
[05:09] Teshima
    Despite how he looked,
    Makishima-san was a nice guy.
[05:14] Teshima
    When we were first-years...
[05:16] (Flashback) Makishima
    You want me to give you tips on climbing?
[05:20] (Flashback) Makishima
    Well...
[05:23] (Flashback) Makishima
    Swing your bike back and forth really hard.
[05:27] (Flashback) Tadokoro
    You're the only one who can do that!
[05:29] (Flashback) Makishima
    Oh, really?
[05:32] Teshima
    He was always kind.
[05:35] Sakamichi
    I still...
[05:37] Sakamichi
    I still had a lot to learn!
[05:41] Sakamichi
    So why...
[05:44] Teshima
    If you're hurting, you can rest.
[05:47] Teshima
    Forcing yourself to practice
    now won't help you.
[05:50] Teshima
    Remember what he said.
[05:51] Teshima
    When you aim for the top,
    you learn where you stand.
[05:55] Teshima
    Choosing your course of action based
    on how others see you or think of you
[05:59] Teshima
    won't get you anywhere.
[06:03] Teshima
    I'm weak.
[06:05] Teshima
    Naruko and Imaizumi are strong.
[06:07] Teshima
    They fought as equals alongside the
    third-years during the Inter-High.
[06:11] Teshima
    Aoyagi and I still don't stand a
    chance against them in sprints.
[06:14] Teshima
    Even though I'm the captain,
    I'm the weakest one.
[06:17] Teshima
    I'm not strong mentally, either.
[06:19] Teshima
    But I know that.
[06:23] Teshima
    What I need to do is make up for
    those weaknesses little by little.
[06:27] Teshima
    That's where I'll find my breakthrough.
[06:29] Teshima
    That's what I believe.
[06:31] Teshima
    You can rest. You can worry, Onoda.
[06:35] Teshima
    Even that can be a way to move forward.
[06:38] Teshima
    Believe in yourself. You'll find the light.
[06:42] Teshima
    Didn't Makishima-san entrust
    his soul to you, too?
[06:52] Sakamichi
    Yeah.

    AIR Airlines flight 1602 is...
[06:57] Makishima
    Jeez. I'm about to get on a plane.
[07:01] Makishima
    Why'd you have to call
    me last minute, Toudou?
[07:06] Toudou
    My friend's embarking on a voyage.
[07:08] Toudou
    I thought I should congratulate you.
[07:10] Toudou
    Besides, you're alone, aren't you?
[07:11] Makishima
    Well, yeah.
[07:13] Makishima
    I told them to practice if
    they had time to see me off.
[07:19] Toudou
    We lost this year, but we'll
    win next year, Maki-chan.
[07:22] Toudou
    Even after I graduate,
[07:24] Toudou
    Hakone will have plenty of other strong
    climbers like Kuroda and Manami.
[07:30] Toudou
    You've only got Four-Eyes, right?
[07:33] Toudou
    No matter how strong he is,
    he can't win by himself.
[07:37] Makishima
    No, we've got climbers.
[07:41] Toudou
    Really? Are they strong?
[07:43] Toudou
    Do they have good instincts?
[07:48] Makishima
    Not at all.
[07:49] Toudou
    What?
[07:50] Makishima
    But maybe that's Sohoku's type.
[07:56] Makishima
    No talent and no instinct...
[07:59] Makishima
    So he climbs through sheer effort.
[08:10] Teshima
    Makishima-san said he could make this
    climb in six minutes at his fastest.
[08:17] Teshima
    He's a monster, but...
[08:21] Teshima
    I'll catch up to him, even if it's
    only by one second, one centimeter!
[08:26] (Flashback) Makishima
    Teshima, you're a climber.
[08:28] (Flashback) Teshima
    What?
[08:29] (Flashback) Makishima
    Tricks don't work on climbs.
[08:32] (Flashback) Makishima
    Unlike flats, you can't hide behind
    other riders to get out of the wind.
[08:38] (Flashback) Makishima
    Your weakness can't be overcome
    with knowledge or technique.
[08:45] (Flashback) Makishima
    So climb.
[08:48] Makishima
    Keep climbing until your legs stop moving.
[08:52] Teshima
    I'll do it.
[08:53] Teshima
    Even if it's impossible,
    I'll push myself to the limit.
[08:58] Teshima
    I can at least push myself
    as close as possible!
[09:02] Teshima
    I will become stronger!
[09:14] Teshima
    Yesterday my best time was eight minutes.
[09:19] Teshima
    Six minutes is still far away.
[09:22] Higashida
    Teshima, I heard the news.
[09:25] Teshima
    Higashida.
[09:26] Higashida
    You're the captain of the bike club now?
[09:28] Teshima
    Yeah.
[09:30] Higashida
    The team's strong, right?
    I heard you won nationals.
[09:33] Higashida
    That must be a lot of pressure.
[09:35] Teshima
    Every day I feel like puking.
[09:37] Teshima
    The first-years are so strong,
    I can't keep up.
[09:40] Teshima
    How's the volleyball club?
[09:42] Higashida
    Unfortunately, we only made
    it to the second round.
[09:44] Higashida
    Because of that,
    our practices are hellish now.
[09:47] Higashida
    How about you?
[09:48] Teshima
    It's hard.
[09:50] Teshima
    It makes me realize the difference
    between being made to do something
[09:52] Teshima
    and making yourself do something.
[09:54] Teshima
    I was just coming up with the
    lineup for our next race.

[09:57] Teshima
    There's a lot to do as the captain.
[10:00] Teshima
    Practice, paperwork, and other stuff.
[10:03] Teshima
    When I think about how
    Kinjou-senpai used to do this,
[10:05] Teshima
    it makes me realize how tough he really was.
[10:07] Higashida
    Want to go karaoke after practice, then?
[10:11] Teshima
    What?
[10:12] Higashida
    I've been planning it since I
    heard you became the captain.
[10:16] Higashida
    Let me hear that Teshima medley again.
[10:20] Higashida
    I got together the guys we rode
    with in middle school, too.
[10:24] Higashida
    Everyone wants to congratulate you.
[10:27] Higashida
    You once said you were quitting,
[10:29] Higashida
    and now you're the captain of
    the team that won nationals.
[10:36] (Flashback) Higashida
    Teshima!
[10:37] (Flashback) Higashida
    Why? You can't quit!
[10:40] (Flashback) Higashida
    Don't you like riding your bike?
[10:42] (Flashback) Student
    We swore we'd win together.
[10:46] Higashida
    Oh, right.
[10:47] Higashida
    I invited Iwase-chan from the
    girls' volleyball team,
[10:52] Higashida
    who you said you were interested in.
[10:54] Higashida
    When I told her about your medley of
    impressions, she said yes right away.
[11:07] Teshima
    Sorry, but I don't have time.
[11:11] Higashida
    Really?
[11:14] Higashida
    That's too bad.
[11:16] Teshima
    Thanks.
[11:19] Teshima
    Sorry, Higashida. I wish I could go.
[11:23] Teshima
    But when I closed my eyes, I saw...
[11:30] Teshima
    ...Onoda at the Inter-High.
[11:34] Teshima
    Am I stupid?
[11:37] Teshima
    But my heart belongs to the Inter-High.
[11:43] Teshima
    We'll stand there again.
    We are the champions.
[11:48] Teshima
    We'll ride through three searingly
    hot days and stand on that stage.

    Yes, sir.

    Teshima-san's in a good mood.
[12:07] Teshima
    How has Onoda been doing?
[12:09] Imaizumi
    He stopped falling.

    He's still slow, but he seems to
    be getting used to his new bike.

    That's great.

    Little by little is fine.
[12:21] Teshima
    Let him know I said that.

    Little by little, it's taking shape.

    But I've still only won once.

    will be Izumida Touichirou.
[13:34] Izumida
    Yes, sir.
[13:35] Arakita
    Jeez, this ceremony is a pain in the ass.
[13:38] Arakita
    All you need to do is win.
[13:42] Toudou
    With a man who went through that bitter
    experience at the Inter-High as captain,
[13:45] Toudou
    we can't lose.
[13:46] Shinkai
    You're a perfect fit, Izumida.
[13:48] Fuku
    The next generation of Hakone Academy
    will led by the three second-years.
[13:55] Toudou
    Three?
[13:57] Fuku
    The vice-captain will be
    second-year Kuroda Yukinari.
[14:02] Kuroda
    This year I lost to Manami in the
    qualifier despite our promise.
[14:10] Kuroda
    But next year will be different.
[14:12] Kuroda
    Touichirou, let's go wild
    at the next Inter-High.
[14:17] Izumida
    Yuki!
[14:27] Fuku
    Captain Izumida and vice-captain Kuroda...
[14:31] Fuku
    These two were obvious
    choices for their positions.
[14:34] Fuku
    But I'm surprised you recommended
    him for the third, Shinkai.
[14:39] Shinkai
    He's promising.
[14:41] Shinkai
    Don't you agree?
[14:45] Shinkai
    From Chiba Minami Middle School,
    he moved here for his parents' work.
[14:50] Shinkai
    Apparently he was on the same middle school
    team as Sohoku's next captain, Teshima-kun.
[14:56] Ashikiba
    Excuse me, Shinkai-san.
[15:01] Ashikiba
    My jersey's a little small.
[15:05] Shinkai
    Second-year Ashikiba Takuto...
[15:07] Shinkai
    He's Hakone Academy's tallest
    member ever, at 202 centimeters.
[15:13] Shinkai
    Ashikiba, what was Teshima-kun
    like in middle school?
[15:18] Ashikiba
    Him?
[15:21] Ashikiba
    He's good.
[15:22] Fuku
    Good, huh?
[15:25] Ashikiba
    Yeah, at karaoke.
[15:28] Ashikiba
    His medley of impressions
    is truly exceptional.
[15:32] Ashikiba

    How would you like to
    race against Teshima-kun?
[15:47] Ashikiba
    A race? I can race already?
[15:52] Ashikiba
    Okay. If that's what you want,
    I'll give it everything I've got.
[15:56] Ashikiba
    Basically, you want me to
    beat him in that race, right?
[16:03] Shinkai
    No, you don't have to worry about that.

    participating in that race.
SIGN    Meeting In Progress Do Not Enter
[16:13] Fuku
    Our methods weren't wrong.
[16:18] Fuku
    Arakita and Izumida pulled ahead of them.
[16:21] Fuku
    Shinkai pulled us through the flats.
[16:24] Fuku
    Then we sent our climbers.
[16:28] Fuku
    Toudou kept Makishima in check,
    leaving Manami and me.
[16:35] Fuku
    Almost everything went according to plan.
[16:37] Fuku
    But Sohoku faced problem after problem.
[16:42] Fuku
    Their ace, Kinjou, was injured.
[16:44] Fuku
    He fell behind immediately.
[16:47] Fuku
    Their ace switched to an
    inexperienced first-year.
[16:52] Fuku
    We had an overwhelming advantage.
[16:54] Arakita
    But we lost!
[16:56] Toudou
    But not because we underestimated them.
[16:59] Arakita
    What?
[17:00] Arakita
    We totally underestimated them.
[17:03] Arakita
    Although I can't imagine
    there's any way Fuku-chan did.
[17:08] Arakita
    I want to say we rode as hard as we could.
[17:12] Arakita
    It was our last race.
[17:15] Arakita
    When I hear we lost by
    five or ten centimeters...
[17:19] Arakita
    In road racing, the difference
    between first and second
[17:21] Arakita
    is the difference between heaven and earth.
[17:23] Arakita
    On top of that, it was the Inter-High.
[17:25] Arakita
    That's on a whole different level.
[17:28] Arakita
    And that inexperienced little
    airhead didn't understand that.
[17:35] Fuku
    No, he gave everything he had.
[17:39] Fuku
    He understood how important it was and
    rode with the greatest strength he had.
[17:46] Fuku
    We lost because...
[17:49] Fuku
    No, because I was naïve in my predictions.
[17:56] Fuku
    Number 176, Sohoku first-year Onoda...
[18:00] Fuku
    A total amateur.
[18:02] Fuku
    Though his face didn't show a
    shred of competitive spirit,
[18:06] Fuku
    hidden inside him was a determined
    and indomitable spirit.
[18:12] Fuku
    And that was enough to beat Hakone
    Academy's greatest climber, Manami.
[18:18] Fuku
    Manami said he was dangerous,
    but I couldn't predict it.
[18:22] Fuku
    That was only natural.
[18:25] Fuku
    He was the unpredictable element that
    Sohoku created during that race.
[18:32] Fuku
    That's not something which
    can be made on purpose.
[18:34] Fuku
    But it was the only way they
    could take down the champions.
[18:41] Shinkai
    In other words, that's what
    Kinjou was going for.
[18:47] Shinkai
    Jin-kun said the same thing.

    Do you have a plan?
[18:50] (Flashback) Tadokoro
    Nope.

    Ashikiba, experience what it's
    like to ride against him.

    He was near the front, so I
    didn't get a good look at him.
[21:22] Ashikiba
    Well, whatever.
[21:23] Ashikiba
    I'll see what he can do during the race.
