SIGN    Inter-High Road Race Boys' Champions SIGN    Makishima Yusuke [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! SIGN    Yowamushi Pedal SIGN    RIDE.2 What Makishima Left Behind [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    Practice Individual Morning, Night 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. SIGN    Minegayama Hill Climb [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 SIGN    Minegayama Hill Climb Race [19:06] Shinkai     the next generation of Hakone Academy how he rides?

[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. [20:59] Shinkai     Someone else will be     participating in that race.

[21:17] Ashikiba     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.
