[00:01] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    Wow, look at the sea.
[00:06] (Flashback) Pierre
    Go enjoy yourselves.
[00:09] (Flashback) Pierre
    Today's race has ended,
    so you've got some free time.
[00:13] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    Huh? But...
[00:16] (Flashback) Pierre
    Go on.
[00:20] (Flashback) Naruko
    Free time? What are we,
    middle schoolers on a class trip?
[00:24] (Flashback) Naruko
    We're comin' back from a race.
    We could've gone straight home.
[00:28] (Flashback) Imaizumi
    Pierre-sensei's trying to give us a break.
[00:32] (Flashback) Naruko
    What?
[00:33] (Flashback) Imaizumi
    Our teamwork's been suffering lately
    because we've been trying too hard.
[00:38] (Flashback) Naruko
    And we lost today, too.
[00:40] (Flashback) Imaizumi
    That bothers you?
[00:42] (Flashback) Naruko
    Of course it does.
[00:43] (Flashback) Naruko
    We lost to some weirdo named Daikanji
    from Fujigawa while we were arguin'.
[00:47] (Flashback) Naruko
    That's the worst thing
    that could've happened.
[00:51] (Flashback) Naruko
    Not only that, but after the race...
[00:54] (Flashback) Daikanji
    There is no mountain taller than Mt. Fuji.
[00:56] (Flashback) Naruko
    What the hell was that about?
[00:58] (Flashback) Naruko
    That's just a fact! It's trivia!
[00:59] (Flashback) Naruko
    Obviously there's no mountain
     taller than Mt. Fuji,
[01:02] (Flashback) Naruko
    but that's all there is to it.
[01:03] (Flashback) Naruko
    God, he's so annoyin'.
[01:04] (Flashback) Imaizumi
    Don't whine to me about that.
[01:06] (Flashback) Imaizumi
    What matters now is the journey,
     not the destination.
[01:09] (Flashback) Imaizumi
    We just need to reach peak
    performance by the Inter-High.
[01:11] (Flashback) Naruko
    Easier said than done.
[01:15] (Flashback) Naruko
    Is this why he told us to take a break?
[01:18] (Flashback) Imaizumi
    Probably.
[01:21] (Flashback) Imaizumi
    Honestly, I'm anxious, too.
[01:24] (Flashback) Naruko
    Where's Teshima-san?
[01:25] (Flashback) Imaizumi
    He said he's going to a café with Aoyagi-san.
[01:28] (Flashback) Naruko
    What about Kabu?
[01:29] (Flashback) Imaizumi
    He went to a surf shop with Danchiku.
[01:32] (Flashback) Naruko
    So, what are we gonna do?
[01:35] (Flashback) Imaizumi
    We're going to the aquarium.
[01:36] (Flashback) Naruko
    What?
[01:37] (Flashback) Imaizmi
    The aquarium. Pierre-sensei
    gave us free passes.
[01:41] (Flashback) Naruko
    What kind of modern-day high
    school student enjoys aquariums?
[01:44] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    What? The aquarium?
[01:46] (Flashback) Naruko
    Onoda-kun's really into the idea.
[01:48] (Flashback) Naruko
    Fine, then.
[01:52] (Flashback) Naruko
    It's just a bunch of fish swimmin' around.
[01:55] (Flashback) Naruko
    Ain't nothing to get so excited about.

SIGN    At the Aquarium in May
[03:32] (Flashback) Naruko
    Wow!
[03:34] (Flashback) Naruko
    It's a turtle. I spy a turtle!
[03:36] (Flashback) Naruko
    Oh, damn! Jellyfish! Look at 'em!
[03:39] (Flashback) Naruko
    The way they move is so strange!
[03:40] (Flashback) Naruko
    I could watch them for hours.
[03:42] (Flashback) Naruko
    I haven't been to the aquarium since
    my second year of grade school,
[03:45] (Flashback) Naruko
    but these modern ones are amazin'.
[03:47] (Flashback) Imaizumi
    Naruko, you're scaring the children.
[03:50] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    I'm glad you're having fun, Naruko-kun.
[03:53] (Flashback) Imaizumi
    I should go get him before they throw us out.
[03:56] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    I'll go buy some drinks.
[03:58] (Flashback) Imaizumi
    Thanks, Onoda.
[04:06] Sakamichi
    Good. Naruko-kun's been so on edge recently.
[04:12] Sakamichi
    Must be because things are
    new and different this year.
[04:18] Sakamichi
    We have different teammates now.
[04:20] Sakamichi
    As second-years, we have
    to make more decisions.
[04:23] Sakamichi
    We're uncertain about everything,
    and nothing goes as expected.
[04:27] Sakamichi
    I couldn't do anything today.
[04:32] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    Huh? Are they this way? That way?
[04:36] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    What? No?
SIGN    DOOM
[04:38] Sakamichi
    I got separated from the
    others while deep in thought.
[04:42] Sakamichi
    Where's my phone?
[04:45] Sakamichi
    I left it in the car...
SIGN    DOOM
[04:48] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    What am I going to do?
    We're leaving at a set time.
[04:53] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    What am I doing?
[04:55] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    How can I contact them without my phone?
[04:58] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    I need a phone...
[05:00] (Flashback) Manami
    You need a phone?
[05:02] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    Huh?
[05:05] (Flashback) Manami
    Wanna use mine?
[05:12] (Flashback) Pierre
    Is everyone enjoying their break?
[05:16] (Flashback) Pierre
    It's important to do your best,
    but if that's all you do,
[05:19] (Flashback) Pierre
    you'll exhaust yourself and
    become unable to progress.
[05:23] (Flashback) Pierre
    Being surrounded by nature, walking on your
    own two feet, and thinking for yourself...
[05:31] (Flashback) Pierre
    Reaffirming your love for bicycles...
[05:35] (Flashback) Pierre
    It's important to take a break sometimes, too.
[05:39] (Flashback) Pierre
    Bicycles are often compared to life.
[05:43] (Flashback) Pierre
    You need two things to live
    a rich and interesting life.
[05:47] (Flashback) Pierre
    Ideas...
[05:53] (Flashback) Pierre
    and encounters.
[05:56] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    Manami-kun?
[05:58] (Flashback) Manami
    Sakamichi-kun?
[06:00] (Flashback) Both
    What are you doing here?
[06:02] (Flashback) Both
    Jinx.
[06:05] (Flashback) Manami
    We even jinxed our jinx.
[06:06] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    Sorry, I spoke just as you did.
[06:10] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    It's really you, right?
[06:14] (Flashback) Manami
    Is that really you?
[06:15] (Flashback) Manami
    Amazing, isn't it? I guess things
    like this really do happen.
[06:19] (Flashback) Manami
    What a coincidence.
[06:21] Sakamichi
    Maybe it's because I haven't
    seen him since that snowy day,
[06:25] Sakamichi
    but Manami-kun seems really mature.
[06:29] (Flashback) Manami
    What is it?
[06:30] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    It's nothing.
[06:32] (Flashback) Manami
    Sakamichi-kun, you look
    a lot more mature now.
[06:35] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    What? Who, me?
[06:40] (Flashback) Manami
    Did your team get a lot of first-years?
[06:43] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    Yeah, a bunch.
[06:45] (Flashback) Manami
    We got a lot, too.
[06:47] (Flashback) Manami
    But I can't remember any of them.
[06:52] (Flashback) Manami
    The Inter-High's this summer.
[06:57] (Flashback) Manami
    You'll be there, right?
[06:58] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    Yeah. I'm planning to race,
    but we haven't chosen our lineup yet.
[07:03] (Flashback) Manami
    If you go, let's race.
[07:09] Sakamichi
    Race...
[07:11] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    Yeah.
[07:12] (Flashback) Manami
    Good. That's what I hoped you'd say.
[07:16] (Flashback) Manami
    Where should we choose?
[07:18] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    Where?
[07:18] (Flashback) Manami
    At Irohazaka on the first day?
[07:21] (Flashback) Manami
    Konsei Pass is good, too.
[07:22] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    Y-You're choosing a location for our race?
[07:25] Sakamichi
    You're moving too fast, Manami-kun.
[07:27] (Flashback) Manami
    How about Haruna?
[07:29] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    Mt. Haruna...
SIGN    Day 2
[07:31] (Flashback) Manami
    Yeah, at the end of the second day.
[07:33] (Flashback) Manami
    It's the mountain result line.
SIGN    Day 2
     Mountain Result Line
[07:44] (Flashback) Manami
    Just thinking about it fires me up.
[07:47] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    Yeah. It'll be hard, but also fun.
[07:51] (Flashback) Manami
    By the way, weren't you going to use this?
[07:54] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    Oh, right!
[07:58] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    Thanks for the help. Well, I should go.
[08:01] (Flashback) Manami
    Okay.
[08:05] Manami
    It was just a coincidence, but I had fun.
[08:08] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    U-Um...
[08:13] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    Manami-kun, today...
[08:17] (Flashback) Manami
    I'm thrilled.
[08:19] (Flashback) Manami
    And I don't think this excitement
    will go away until I'm on a bike.
[08:26] (Flashback) Manami
    Let's make this coincidence
    an inevitability, Sakamichi-kun.
[08:30] (Flashback) Manami
    I'll be waiting for the moment we
    meet on our bikes at the Inter-High.
[08:35] (Flashback) Manami
    No matter the circumstances.
[08:38] (Flashback) Manami
    It could be ten meters, or even one.
[08:41] (Flashback) Manami
    Let's hold nothing back and race.
[08:47] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    Yeah.
[08:54] (Flashback) Manami
    I'm glad I chose this place to
    complete my sketchbook assignment.
[09:04] Manami
    Do you remember the promise we made that day?
[09:06] Manami
    I'm so thrilled right now.
[09:11] Manami
    More than any other time
    over the last three days.
[09:14] Manami
    What about you?
[09:15] Sakamichi
    I'm the most excited I've been
    over the last three days.
[09:21] Manami
    That day's coincidence has finally
    become an inevitability.
[09:26] Sakamichi
    I wonder what has me so excited.
[09:29] Sakamichi
    Hope? Anxiety?
[09:32] Sakamichi
    Is it because I'm racing against Manami-kun?
[09:34] Sakamichi
    Because the finish line is near?
[09:41] Sakamichi
    I know. It must be all of them.
[09:51] Fan C
    Only 1,700 meters to the finish line!
[09:53] Fan A
    Neither one's backing down!
[09:57] Fan B
    One of them will become the overall
    champion of this Inter-High
[10:04] Fan B
    in less than ten minutes!
[10:07] Sakamichi
    I'm going to pass you.
[10:09] Manami
    Good. This is intense.
[10:12] Manami
    As it should be.
[10:14] Manami
    As it should be.
[10:15] Manami
    Good. This is fantastic.
[10:19] Fan C
    Sohoku passed Hakone Academy's Manami!
[10:23] Fan D
    They swapped places!
[10:24] Fan D
    Sohoku's #1 is in first!
[10:26] Fan D
    It's the Mountain King!
[10:27] Fan C
    What's wrong with Hakone Academy?
[10:31] Manami
    This is truly fantastic.
SIGN    Manami
[10:37] Manami Fan
    Manami-kun...
[10:38] Manami Fan
    He's smiling?
[10:43] Manami
    As it should be.
[10:45] Manami
    You're as incredible as
    I hoped, Sakamichi-kun.
[10:47] Manami
    When our race began with less than two
    kilometers to go, I raised my pace.
[10:53] Manami
    I wondered if you'd be able
    to keep up, and you did.
[10:56] Manami
    Not only that, but you passed me.
[10:58] Manami
    I'm so eager.
[11:00] Manami
    I'm so eager, I can't help it.
[11:02] Manami
    I keep shifting up gears.
[11:05] Sakamichi
    He caught up already!
[11:07] Manami
    Isn't climbing so much fun?
[11:09] Sakamichi
    He shifted up again.
[11:11] Fan E
    Hakone Academy's Manami instantly
    passed him while smiling!
[11:16] Fan F
    So light, so skillful, so invigorating!
[11:18] Fan F
    He's so strong!
[11:19] Fan E
    That's Hakone Academy's ace climber,
    Manami Sangaku the Sky Prince!
[11:26] Sakamichi
    Manami-kun is strong, but...
[11:30] (Flashback) Imaizumi
    Go!
[11:31] (Flashback) Imaizumi
    Steel your resolve! Don't look back!
[11:33] (Flashback) Imaizumi
    Be strong, Onoda Sakamichi!
[11:37] Sakamichi
    Yeah.
[11:38] Sakamichi
    I'm all right. I can keep going.
SIGN    Yowamushi Pedal
[11:50] Fan G
    They've already passed
    the two-kilometer mark.
[11:53] Fan H
    They're coming.
[11:56] Toudou
    There's no telling what will happen
    in road races until the end.
[12:01] Toudou
    I can't believe the final battle on the
    third day has come down to those two again
[12:08] Toudou
    or that I'd meet you at the last turn
    before the finish line, Maki-chan.
[12:17] Makishima
    I can't believe you of all people
    had to be here, Toudou.
[12:20] Makishima
    I can't get rid of you.
[12:21] Toudou
    It was fate that brought us together.
[12:26] Makishima
    But we just met last night.
[12:29] Toudou
    Do you believe in fate, Maki-chan?
[12:32] Makishima
    What?
[12:32] Toudou
    Naturally, I do.
[12:35] Makishima
    Hey...
[12:35] Toudou
    I believe my fate's tied to yours, Maki-chan.
[12:38] Makishima
    Let me speak.
SIGN    Here
SIGN    One Turn Earlier
[12:40] Makishima
    The highlight of any race will happen at the
     finish line, right here, or one turn earlier.
[12:47] Makishima
    We had one-in-three odds of meeting.
     It's not a big deal.
[12:52] Toudou
    Normally you're in England, but right now,
     you're in the mountains of Japan
[12:56] Toudou
    watching a road race right next to me.
[13:00] Toudou
    That alone makes it a big deal, Maki-chan.
[13:05] Makishima
    What a warm welcome.
[13:06] Toudou
    Of course.
[13:08] Toudou
    Not only that, but the battle that will
    determine the outcome of the Inter-High
[13:12] Toudou
    is between the four-eyes you trained and
    Manami Sangaku, who I put my trust in.
[13:20] Toudou
    What is fate if not this?
[13:23] Makishima
    I wouldn't say I trained him.
[13:26] Toudou
    Two climbers joined our
    teams two years after us.
[13:31] Toudou
    The two of them met and fought one another.
[13:33] Toudou
    They caught each other's attention
    and were drawn together.
[13:35] Toudou
    They're just like us, don't you think?
[13:38] Makishima
    Are they?
[13:39] Toudou
    Not only that, but their riding
    styles are complete opposites.
[13:42] Makishima
    I guess...
[13:43] Toudou
    They're almost here. They'll be
    here in less than ten minutes.
[13:47] Toudou
    It's a mere ten minutes, but for them
[13:52] Toudou
    it'll feel like an eternity.
[13:56] Makishima
    Yeah, it's an eternity.
[14:00] Makishima
    Burdened with responsibility,
[14:03] Makishima
    they'll give all their strength to risk it all.
[14:05] Makishima
    Only those riding understand what it's like.
[14:09] Toudou
    And since they missed
    their chance to determine
[14:14] Toudou
    a King of the Mountains on
    Mt. Haruna on the second day,
[14:16] Toudou
    this battle will decide
    who claims that title.
[14:18] Makishima
    Yeah, that's just in your head.
[14:23] Toudou
    No, that title can only be awarded to the
    winner of a race between the two of them.
[14:29] Toudou
    Let's see this historical
    event through together.
[14:34] Makishima
    Sure.
[14:35] Makishima
    I owe Onoda for watching our race yesterday.
[14:44] Toudou
    Yeah.
[14:46] Toudou
    Go, Manami.
[14:48] Toudou
    Be free. To the peak.
[14:50] Makishima
    Onoda, Toudou says I trained you.
[14:56] Makishima
    But did I really?
[14:58] Makishima
    All I did was ride ahead of you without a word.
[15:02] (Flashback) Makishima
    I can only speak through my riding.
[15:08] (Flashback) Makishima
    After all, if you're fastest
     at your own style...
[15:11] (Flashback) Makishima
    nothing's cooler than that.
[15:15] Makishima
    But you always kept up,
    and when I looked back...
[15:21] Makishima
    you were always happily smiling.
[15:28] Makishima
    Come, Sakamichi.
[15:31] Makishima
    Don't flinch. Don't be afraid.
[15:33] Makishima
    It's all right. I'm watching.
[15:36] Makishima
    So turn your pedals as hard as you can.
[15:47] Manami
    Go!
[15:51] Manami
    Can you keep up, Sakamichi-kun?
[15:58] Manami
    Good. It wouldn't be fun if it were too easy.
[16:02] Manami
    As it should be.
[16:04] Manami
    We wouldn't feel alive if we
    acquired things too easily.
[16:10] Sakamichi
    Manami-kun's pressure rose again.
[16:14] Manami
    We're right on the edge.
[16:17] Manami
    We're in the very final stages of the race.
[16:19] Manami
    We're already above 2,000 meters
    of elevation and the air is thin.
[16:22] Manami
    I'm out of breath. My heart rate is rising.
[16:25] Manami
    My body is screaming.
[16:27] Manami
    And I have an opponent to race against.
[16:30] Sakamichi
    He accelerated again.
[16:31] Manami
    But that's always true.
[16:33] Manami
    It's when we're right on the edge of our
    limits and closest to death that we feel it.
[16:42] Manami
    I am alive.
[16:43] Manami
    I'll raise my heart rate even higher.
[16:45] Manami
    To the limit.
[16:46] Manami
    Go!
[16:49] Sakamichi
    He's accelerating again.
[16:51] Fan
    Sohoku's sticking to Hakone Academy!
[16:54] Fan
    No, look closely! He's doing his best to
    keep up, but he's slowly falling behind!
[16:58] Sakamichi
    I'm slowing down.
[17:02] Sakamichi
    I'm struggling. The air is thin.
[17:04] Sakamichi
    No matter how much I inhale,
    it doesn't feel like enough.
[17:07] Sakamichi
    My fingertips are going numb.
[17:11] Sakamichi
    But...

[17:13] Announce
    The third day will begin shortly.
[17:17] (Flashback) Teshima
    Today's finish line is at the top of a
    mountain at 2,000 meters of elevation.
[17:21] (Flashback) Teshima
    At that elevation, the air will be thin.
[17:23] (Flashback) Teshima
    You'll hardly do anything
    and you'll be out of breath.
[17:26] (Flashback) Teshima
    If you end up in an all-out battle up there,
    your body will be screaming.
[17:30] (Flashback) Teshima
    Your limbs will go numb,
    and you'll have trouble breathing.
[17:35] (Flashback) Teshima
    If you find yourself in a difficult situation,
     say this out loud.
[17:39] (Flashback) Teshima
    It'll make it easier.
[17:41] (Flashback) Teshima
    "We're in the same boat."
[17:44] (Flashback) Teshima
    Don't be fooled by the pain.
[17:46] (Flashback) Teshima
    Everyone's riding under
    the same circumstances.
[17:49] (Flashback) Teshima
    Don't look at your speedometer.
[17:51] (Flashback) Teshima
    Don't compare yourself to
    your normal performance.
[17:53] (Flashback) Teshima
    Look only forward and let your
    emotions take over your body.
[17:56] (Flashback) Teshima
    Rely only on your instincts and ride.
[18:01] (Flashback) Teshima
    I know you can do it.
[18:03] (Flashback) Teshima
    I know you can do it.
[18:05] Sakamichi
    We're in the same boat.
[18:09] Sakamichi
    Don't look at your speedometer.
[18:11] Sakamichi
    Don't compare yourself to
    your normal performance.
[18:13] Sakamichi
    Listen to your feelings.
[18:15] Sakamichi
    I want to catch up to Manami-kun.
[18:19] Sakamichi
    Raise your cadence.
[18:21] Sakamichi
    I want to catch up.
[18:22] Sakamichi
    I want to pass him.
[18:25] Fan
    Sohoku zipped past Hakone Academy!
[18:27] Fan
    It's the Mountain King's high-cadence climb!
[18:30] Manami
    He's in front of me?
[18:32] Sakamichi
    I'm having an easier time turning my legs.
[18:36] Sakamichi
    Thank you,
[18:38] Sakamichi
    Teshima-san.
[18:40] Fan
    Sohoku's in the lead!
[18:42] Fan
    They've got 1.5 kilometers
    left to the finish line!
SIGN    Road Race  Distance Remaining
[18:46] Sakamichi
    I passed him. I passed Manami-kun.
[18:49] Sakamichi
    My excitement is increasing.
[18:51] Sakamichi
    The finish line is getting closer.
[18:55] Manami
    He passed me again.
[18:58] Manami
    He's a tough opponent.
[19:01] Manami
    It's thrilling.
[19:02] Sakamichi
    I've got a small lead.
[19:04] Sakamichi
    Are things going my way?
[19:07] Sakamichi
    I should maintain this pace.
[19:12] Manami
    He's fast. His pace is incredible.
[19:14] Manami
    He was struggling until a
    moment ago, but he recovered.
[19:19] Manami
    He's far stronger than he was last year.
[19:23] Manami
    After achieving victory once,
    everyone relaxes mentally and physically.
[19:31] Manami
    Not only that, but the Inter-High
    only happens once a year.
[19:34] Manami
    They lose the drive to continue
    their long, hard training
[19:37] Manami
    to prepare for the next one.
[19:40] Manami
    They say a champion can't win.
[19:43] Manami
    The fulfillment of winning a major title
    makes champions lose their motivation.
[19:48] Manami
    The jinx makes them unmotivated and unable
    to seize opportunities during the race.
[19:54] Manami
    But you're riding ahead of me now
[19:58] Manami
    before the finish line at the Inter-High,
[20:00] Manami
    boldly wearing your #1 tag.
[20:03] Manami
    How did you motivate yourself over
    the past year? Did you do it alone?
[20:07] Manami
    No, that's not right.
[20:15] Manami
    It's probably because you had teammates.
[20:17] Manami
    Come to think of it, you said
    the same thing that day in May.
[20:21] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    What? Me, the ace on the third and final day?
[20:24] (Flashback) Manami
    Yeah, I figured you might be.
[20:27] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    No, no, no. I can't do that.
[20:30] (Flashback) Manami
    You can't?
[20:31] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    Sohoku's goal is winning, of course.
[20:36] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    But, um...
[20:38] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    I'm just hoping someone on my team wins.
[20:42] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    It'd be nice if I could help them do it.
[20:48] Manami
    So that's what that meant.
[20:50] Manami
    You got stronger by helping
    your teammates win.
[20:56] Manami
    You're riding powerfully on the
    final day of the Inter-High
[21:00] Manami
    so you can take your team's
    jersey to the finish line.
[21:06] Sakamichi
    Imaizumi-kun, Naruko-kun, Teshima-san,
    Kaburagi-kun, Aoyagi-san...
[21:12] Sakamichi
    Koga-san, Kanzaki-san, Sugimoto-kun,
    and the first-years...
[21:18] Sakamichi
    I'll take this jersey to the finish line.
SIGN    Inter-High Road Race
[21:26] Manami
    Incredible. I could never do that.
[21:29] Manami
    But that's fine. Everyone rides differently.
[21:34] Manami
    I can't ride your way.
[21:36] Manami
    But you can't copy my style, either.
[21:40] Manami
    Right, Kuroda-san?
[21:43] (Flashback) Kuroda
    We've entered the final climb, Manami.
[21:46] (Flashback) Kuroda
    We're almost there. Sohoku should
    be coming into view soon.
[21:50] (Flashback) Kuroda
    Until then, stay out of the wind
    and preserve your strength.
[21:54] (Flashback) Kuroda
    Don't go until I tell you to.
[21:56] (Flashback) Manami
    Sure, but you're nearly at your limit.
[22:01] (Flashback) Manami
    The injury you suffered falling before
    the finish line on the first day...
[22:05] (Flashback) Manami
    It hasn't healed yet.
    It hurts pretty bad, doesn't it?
[22:10] (Flashback) Kuroda
    You noticed?
[22:12] (Flashback) Manami
    You've been avoiding pedaling
    too hard with your right knee.
[22:17] (Flashback) Kuroda
    There's nothing I can do about that.
[22:20] (Flashback) Kuroda
    I decided I'd get you there.
[22:25] (Flashback) Kuroda
    And I've never been able to tolerate
    things not going as planned.
[22:32] (Flashback) Kuroda
    I'm a proud elite athlete.
[22:35] (Flashback) Kuroda
    But I know there's a price I have
    to pay for things to go as planned.
[22:41] (Flashback) Kuroda
    I'm determined to make this long shot work.
[22:43] (Flashback) Kuroda
    Of course, there will be a little pain.
[22:46] Manami
    It must hurt even more than I thought.
[22:50] Manami
    Could it be?
[22:51] (Flashback) Manami
    On second thought, let's switch.
[22:52] (Flashback) Kuroda
    Not yet.
[22:53] (Flashback) Kuroda
    Manami, hang tight.
[22:56] (Flashback) Kuroda
    I told you. I'll pull until
    we catch up to Hakone Academy.
[23:01] (Flashback) Kuroda
    Right now your job is to wait.
[23:04] (Flashback) Kuroda
    Just shut up and follow me.
[23:07] (Flashback) Kuroda
    I promise I'll get you there.
[23:10] (Flashback) Manami
    Kuroda-san...
[23:12] (Flashback) Kuroda
    Are you bored, though?
[23:13] (Flashback) Kuroda
    In that case, let's reminisce about the past.
