**[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.
**[06:54] Announce**
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.
***SIGN*** Training Sprinting Climbing Long Rides

***SIGN*** September October
**[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.

**[11:55] Teshima**
These contain essential information
and regulations for our next race.
**[12:00] Teshima**
Could you hand them out to the first-years?
**[12:02] Imaizumi**
Yes, sir.
**[12:03] Imaizumi**
Teshima-san's in a good mood.
**[12:07] Teshima**
How has Onoda been doing?
**[12:09] Imaizumi**
He stopped falling.
**[12:11] Imaizumi**
He's still slow, but he seems to
be getting used to his new bike.
**[12:17] Teshima**
That's great.
**[12:20] Teshima**
Little by little is fine.
**[12:21] Teshima**
Let him know I said that.
**[12:24] Teshima**
Little by little...
**[12:25] Teshima**
Little by little, it's taking shape.
**[12:29] Teshima**
With the third-years leaving,
the lineup has changed.
**[12:33] Teshima**
Makishima-san is gone, but...
**[12:38] Aoyagi**
Junta...
**[12:39] Teshima**
Aoyagi.
**[12:41] Teshima**
How did yesterday go?
**[12:43] Aoyagi**
I attacked just before the 200 meter mark.
**[12:51] (Flashback) Tadokoro**
I knew you'd come, so I've
been saving my strength.
**[12:53] (Flashback) Tadokoro**
Pedal with all you've got, Aoyagi!
**[12:56] (Flashback) Aoyagi**
Yes, sir!
**[13:08] (Flashback) Aoyagi**
I won.
**[13:10] (Flashback) Teshima**
All right! That's great!
**[13:12] (Flashback) Aoyagi**
But I've still only won once.
**[13:14] (Flashback) Teshima**
That's fine.
**[13:16] Teshima**
Imaizumi, Naruko, Onoda, Aoyagi...
**[13:20] Teshima**
The second generation of Sohoku is
moving forward, one step at a time.
**[13:28] Fuku**
Hakone Academy's next captain
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**
Ow...
**[15:36] Ashikiba**
Heave-ho...
**[15:37] Student**
Don't, Ashikiba!
**[15:39] Student**
I won't be able to get my bike down!
**[15:41] Shinkai**
Ashikiba...
**[15:43] Shinkai**
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.
**[16:07] Shinkai**
Someone else will be
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.
**[18:49] (Flashback) Shinkai**
Do you have a plan?
**[18:50] (Flashback) Tadokoro**
Nope.
**[18:53] (Flashback) Tadokoro**
For us, being connected to
each other is important.
**[18:57] Toudou**
That four-eyes...
**[19:00] Arakita**
Onoda-chan...
**[19:02] Shinkai**
Isn't that why we need to show

You can do it!
**[19:22] Fan**
Hey, look.
**[19:23] Fan**
It's the Inter-High general
classification winner, Onoda.
**[19:28] Sakamichi**
Everyone's looking at me.
**[19:30] Sakamichi**
Of course they are.
**[19:33] (Flashback) Teshima**
At the next Inter-High—no,
**[19:35] (Flashback) Teshima**
starting with our next race,
the other teams will be gunning for us.
**[19:39] (Flashback) Teshima**
We must leap past them and win again.
**[19:43] (Flashback) Teshima**
Because we are the champions.
**[19:47] Sakamichi**
I'll win. I'll win.
**[19:50] Sakamichi**
I have to win. I...
**[19:55] Sakamichi**
What is winning?
**[19:58] Sakamichi**
Pushing aside everyone here?
**[20:02] Sakamichi**
Not losing to anyone else?
**[20:05] Sakamichi**
I can't do it.
**[20:06] Sakamichi**
I was able to ride in the Inter-High
because the rest of the team was with me.
**[20:11] Sakamichi**
I'm even weak during practice.
**[20:13] Sakamichi**
My strength alone isn't enough.
**[20:16] Teshima**
Onoda...
**[20:19] Teshima**
Team Sohoku supports each other.
**[20:23] Teshima**
Sounds like something
Kinjou-san would say, right?
**[20:26] Teshima**
We can take it slow. Don't try
to do everything yourself, Onoda.
**[20:32] Sakamichi**
Teshima-san...
**[20:33] Imaizumi**
He's right.
**[20:34] Imaizumi**
We wouldn't want you getting
overeager and falling again.
**[20:39] Sakamichi**
Imaizumi-kun?
**[20:40] Imaizumi**
Don't get so nervous
that you forget we're here.
**[20:45] Teshima**
Just climb at your own pace.
**[20:47] Teshima**
Even if you're late, we'll be
waiting for you at the top.
**[20:53] Sakamichi**
Okay.
