[00:02] Yuto
The second half of this
route is a winding downhill.
[00:06] Yuto
He's an airhead motivated by rage.
[00:10] Yuto
That's the easiest type of person to beat.
[00:13] Yuto
I'll let him stay ahead for now.
[00:14] Yuto
His legs will become exhausted in the
second half, and he'll lose speed.
[00:17] Yuto
But I'll strike one blow first!
[00:23] (Flashback) Yuto
Are you familiar with my nickname?
[00:25] (Flashback) Yuto
They call me the Peak Hornet.
[00:28] (Flashback) Yuto
Am I too fast? Too close?
[00:31] (Flashback) Yuto
Is your answer "yes"?
[00:35] (Flashback) Yuto
You're not on the road.
[00:39] Yuto
This guy will be easy.
[00:41] Yuto
His eyes are full of rage.
[00:44] Yuto
If his rage disrupts his pace like I expect,
he'll lose speed in the second half!
[00:48] Yuto
He moved up! He really is an airhead!
[00:50] (Flashback) Yuto
What should the loser's punishment be?
[00:55] (Flashback) Yuto
It's not fun without one.
[00:58] (Flashback) Yuto
If I win, will you be my
assistant in the next race?
[01:03] (Flashback) Yuto
Since you're so big, I bet
you block a lot of wind.
[01:06] (Flashback) Yuto
What do you want, Ashikiba-san?
[01:08] (Flashback) Yuto
Would you like me to apologize to
third-years Kaneko-san and
[01:12] (Flashback) Yuto
Shimozaki-san and ask them for advice?
[01:15] (Flashback) Ashikiba
That's what you should
be doing as a first-year.
[01:20] (Flashback) Ashikiba
If you lose, go find the trash you threw
on the ground before we started...
[01:27] (Flashback) Ashikiba
and pick it up.

[03:03] Yuto
Trash? Talk about anal retentive.
[03:06] Yuto
Is this about keeping the planet beautiful?
[03:08] (Flashback) Yuto
You must be joking.
[03:10] (Flashback) Ashikiba
Mountains, rivers, valleys, and coastlines...
[03:14] (Flashback) Ashikiba
We use the terrain created by
nature to ride our bicycles.
[03:18] (Flashback) Ashikiba
We're indebted to nature.
We should respect it.
[03:23] (Flashback) Ashikiba
It's not something you should
so selfishly pollute.
[03:27] Yuto
What's with this guy?
[03:29] Yuto
He's annoying me.
[03:31] (Flashback) Ashikiba
No one wants to criticize
you because of Shinkai-san.
[03:37] (Flashback) Ashikiba
Isn't that what you want
to shake off the most?
[03:41] Yuto
He thinks he can say whatever he wants.
[03:44] Yuto
Does he think he's right?
[03:47] Yuto
I have...
[03:50] Yuto
my own troubles!
[03:56] Yuto
No matter.
[03:57] Yuto
An airhead like him would never understand.
[04:00] Yuto
I'm changing my plan.
[04:02] Yuto
I'll pass him and pull ahead of him!
[04:09] Yuto
What's going on?
[04:10] Yuto
He blocked my route as I was about to go.
[04:12] (Flashback) Ashikiba
I told you, first-year Shinkai Yuto...
[04:16] (Flashback) Ashikiba
that I'd crush you.
[04:19] (Flashback) Ashikiba
I'm not letting you get ahead of me!
[04:26] (Flashback) Ashikiba
You're riding on the gutter.
[04:27] Yuto
Damn it! He's making fun of me!
[04:30] Yuto
Then I'll do whatever it
takes to get in front of him!
[04:36] (Flashback) Ashikiba
Kaneko...
[04:37] (Flashback) Ashikiba
Kaneyan hurt his knees after riding with you.
[04:43] (Flashback) Ashikiba
He and Yuki-chan have been climbing
buddies since they were first-years.
[04:46] (Flashback) Ashikiba
They used to talk about the
Inter-High together all the time.
[04:49] (Flashback) Ashikiba
But Kaneyan's knees probably
won't heal in time for the Inter-High.
[04:53] (Flashback) Yuto
What? Who cares?
[04:56] (Flashback) Yuto
That's totally unrelated.
[04:58] (Flashback) Ashikiba
Kenyan practices hard.
[05:00] (Flashback) Ashikiba
He never makes excuses.
[05:04] (Flashback) Ashikiba
Shimo knows that, so he never rides
ahead of Kaneyan on mountains.
[05:09] (Flashback) Ashikiba
You beat them.
[05:12] (Flashback) Ashikiba
But is there really...
[05:15] (Flashback) Ashikiba
nothing you can learn from Kaneda?!
[05:19] (Flashback) Ashikiba
You just had "nobody understands my pain"
written all over your face.
[05:25] (Flashback) Ashikiba
How could they? Of course they don't.
[05:29] (Flashback) Ashikiba
Because you don't even
try to understand theirs.
[05:32] Yuto
What? What does that mean?
[05:35] Yuto
Are you saying someone as physically
blessed as you has problems?
[05:39] (Flashback) Ashikiba
You don't work hard and lack respect.
[05:43] (Flashback) Ashikiba
If you fought against the old Kaneyan...
[05:47] (Flashback) Ashikiba
You'd lose!
[05:50] Yuto
He's gone!
[05:52] Yuto
Am I going to lose to him?
[05:55] Yuto
It's just a stupid mental battle!
A mental battle!
[05:57] Yuto
I can't lose now!
[06:00] Yuto
Go!
[06:02] Yuto
Was he not motivated by rage?
[06:10] Yuto
So he was calmly observing my
movements and controlling me.
[06:15] Yuto
Damn.
[06:16] Yuto
I couldn't even see his
back on the final bend.
[06:20] (Flashback) Ashikiba
Get up. Go pick up your trash.
[06:23] (Flashback) Yuto
Yes, sir.
[06:26] (Flashback) Ashikiba
I'll go with you.
[06:28] (Flashback) Yuto
Huh?
[06:29] (Flashback) Yuto
You don't have to.
[06:32] (Flashback) Yuto
You'd have to climb to the
peak again to get back there.
[06:34] (Flashback) Yuto
It's my penalty.
[06:36] (Flashback) Ashikiba
Oh, that's right.
[06:38] Yuto
He's not putting up a fight?
[06:41] Yuto
Maybe he really is an airhead.
[06:44] Yuto
I hate to admit it, but it's true that
he's stronger and smarter than me.
[06:49] Yuto
When he accelerated in front of me,
the pressure I felt was no laughing matter.

Kaneko-senpai told me
about Ashikiba-san later.
[07:01] Yuto
About his concerns about his height.
[07:03] Yuto
About being the laundry boy.
[07:05] Yuto
How he was suspended
indefinitely from racing.
[07:08] (Flashback) Ashikiba
No, Yuto!
[07:10] (Flashback) Ashikiba
That timing will allow our
enemies to get ahead of us!
[07:12] (Flashback) Ashikiba
Be patient! Watch their movements!
[07:14] (Flashback) Yuto
Yes, sir!
[07:16] (Flashback) Ashikiba
You cut your bangs two centimeters.
[07:18] (Flashback) Yuto
You could tell?
[07:20] (Flashback) All
He can tell?
[07:22] (Flashback) Hakogaku
Did you hear about Yuto?
[07:24] (Flashback) Hakogaku
He apologized to Haraguchi
for breaking his phone.
[07:28] (Flashback) Kuroda
I can tell from watching him at practice.
[07:31] (Flashback) Kuroda
He's fierce, but he's changed.
[07:35] Yuto
Until then, I thought of everyone
I rode with as an opponent.
[07:39] Yuto
I came to enjoy riding with Ashikiba-san.
[07:51] Fan
Hakone Academy's ace is losing speed!
[07:53] Fan
But it's a critical moment!
[07:55] Fan
Didn't he just win the mountain line?
[07:58] Fan
That's why his legs are exhausted!
[08:00] Fan
#16 is dropping back to help him!
[08:02] Fan
They're falling behind the two in front!
[08:05] Fan
They're only thirty meters behind,
but at the finish line of a road race,
[08:09] Fan
that's an overwhelming distance!
[08:11] Fan
There's just one kilometer
left to the finish line!

[08:14] Imaizumi
He lost speed?
[08:16] Imaizumi
Did Ashikiba-san lose focus for a moment?
[08:19] Imaizumi
No, it' because of his all-out attack
for the mountain line.
[08:22] Imaizumi
After fighting so hard, his legs
couldn't last until the finish line.
[08:29] Midousuji
Too bad, Hakone Academy.
[08:32] Midousuji
The mountain line or the finish line...
[08:34] Midousuji
It's obvious which is more valuable
when you weigh them against each other.
[08:40] Midousuji
You made a mistake.
[08:43] Midousuji
The two of you can fight for third.
[08:49] Yuto
Ashikiba-san!
[08:51] Ashikiba
I'm starting to feel it in my legs.
[08:52] Ashikiba
I couldn't keep up with the increase in pace.
[08:55] Yuto
What is this? Why?
[08:58] Yuto
You tried to show off by
saying you hadn't given up.
[09:02] Yuto
But you're exhausted.
[09:06] Yuto
If only I'd...
[09:11] (Flashback) Ashikiba
After him, Yuto.
[09:13] Yuto
...gone like you told me to.
[09:16] Yuto
If only I'd trusted you.
[09:18] (Flashback) Yuto
We're coming up on the finish line.
[09:20] (Flashback) Ashikiba
Just go and get it.
[09:23] Yuto
I'm sorry.
[09:25] Ashikiba
Yuto, we can't change the past.
[09:30] Ashikiba
So...
[09:35] Ashikiba
So I feinted.
[09:37] Yuto
Feinted?
[09:38] Ashikiba
After taking the mountain line,
[09:40] Ashikiba
I put on an act that Sohoku and
Kyoto Fushimi wouldn't notice.
[09:44] Ashikiba
I deliberately slowed down, fell behind
my assistant, and made him pull.
[09:50] Ashikiba
I made them think I was the ace
taking today's finish line.
[09:56] Ashikiba
I made them think Hakone Academy
was finished, so they'd let down their guard.
[10:02] Ashikiba
When I decided to attack in the mountains,
I knew I'd be exhausting my legs.
[10:08] Ashikiba
I knew I had to plan for what was next.
[10:12] Ashikiba
I knew immediately who else
could go for the finish line.
[10:18] Ashikiba
I was a little worried.
[10:20] Ashikiba
After all, he's a climber.
[10:23] Ashikiba
But my concerns were immediately swept away
[10:25] Ashikiba
because his brother was a great sprinter.
[10:30] Yuto
You want me to take the
second day's finish line?
[10:32] Ashikiba
I ended up tricking you, too.
[10:36] Ashikiba
Sorry.
[10:39] Ashikiba
Zip up your jersey.
[10:41] Ashikiba
I know you can do it!
[10:44] (Flashback) Hakogaku
Hey, Yuto.
[10:45] (Flashback) Hakogaku
Why don't you practice with us on the flats?
[10:48] (Flashback) Hakogaku
The upperclassmen want to see you sprint.
[10:51] (Flashback) Yuto
I'll pass. I'm not Hayato-kun.
[10:54] (Flashback) Yuto
I'm a climber.
[10:57] Yuto
I'm Yuto.
[10:58] Yuto
But Ashikiba-san's telling me to go.
[11:03] Ashikiba
Zip it up, Yuto.
[11:05] Ashikiba
There's not much time or distance left.
[11:06] Ashikiba
You'll take today's finish line.
[11:09] Ashikiba
Zip up your jersey, Shinkai Yuto!
[11:15] Yuto
Yes, sir!
[11:17] Yuto

Their ace moved up!

No way!

race for the finish line?

Isn't he a climber?
[11:28] Fan
No, there's an old saying!
[11:30] Fan
All six of Hakone Academy's
members are the ace!
[11:34] Ashikiba
I'll close this thirty-meter gap.
[11:37] Ashikiba
When I give the signal, you move up.
[11:39] Ashikiba
Until then, I'll block the wind for you!
[11:42] Yuto
Yes, sir!
[11:43] Ashikiba
Let's go, Yuto!
[11:44] Yuto
Yes, sir!
[11:46] Fan
Ashikiba is accelerating!
[11:49] Yuto

What? What is this?
[11:59] Yuto
Nervousness? No...
[12:02] Yuto
What is this? What on earth is this?
[12:05] Yuto
What's making my cells buzz with excitement?
[12:08] Fan
Hakone Academy's catching up
at the very last second!
[12:12] Fan
Hakone Academy's sending #16 as their
ace to the second day's finish line!
[12:18] Imaizumi
What? They're catching up?
[12:20] Imaizumi
I thought Hakone Academy had fallen,
but they've switched out their ace!
[12:24] Imaizumi
Their final ace is #16!
[12:27] Midousuji
No way. #16?
[12:29] Midousuji
Did they just come up with that?
[12:33] Midousuji
No, that's not what the
big guy's eyes are saying.
[12:37] Midousuji
He planned this.
[12:40] Midousuji
Ashikiba-kun's been fooling us since then.
[12:47] Ashikiba
Are you ready, Yuto?
[12:49] Ashikiba
Go, Yuto!
[12:53] Ashikiba
Yuto—
[12:54] Yuto
It's okay.
[12:56] Yuto
Sorry, Ashikiba-san.
[12:58] Yuto
I'm not sure why...
[13:01] Yuto
but all the cells in my body
are buzzing with excitement.
[13:03] Yuto
I can't calm down.
[13:06] Yuto
I know! I'll go right away!
[13:13] Fan
Go!
[13:14] Fan
Hakone Academy's attacking!
[13:16] Fan
He's so fast!
[13:17] Yuto
Damn! Damn!
[13:19] Yuto
This feeling is insane.
[13:23] Yuto
Every time my speed increases,
my cells start screaming.
[13:27] Yuto
This is ecstasy!
[13:29] Yuto
Thanks for waiting,
Midousuji-san and Imaizumi-san!
[13:35] Fan
With 600 meters remaining,
Hakone Academy caught up!
[13:39] Fan
It's a three-way race again!
[13:43] Midousuji
#16, Shinkai Yuto...
[13:45] Midousuji
You're in a good mood.
[13:48] Midousuji
To think they'd send a first-year
climber in place of their useless ace.
[13:54] Midousuji
Now this is a surprise.
[13:57] Imaizumi
He caught up.
[13:58] Imaizumi
What can a climber do in a
race for the finish line?
[14:04] Ashikiba
I'm glad he caught up.
[14:06] Ashikiba
If I'd pulled for Yuto on the
downhill instead of pretending,
[14:10] Ashikiba
they would've realized he
was the ace and crushed us.
[14:15] Ashikiba
I'm brilliant.
[14:17] Ashikiba
But that face he made when he left...
[14:19] Ashikiba
I've never seen Yuto so happy.

The ninety-degree turn that's 500 meters
before the finish line is just ahead!
[14:30] Fan
All three are braking hard
out of intense acceleration!

It's a braking contest!
[14:34] Fan
They're still neck-and-neck!
[14:36] Fan
After the corner, it's a straight
line to the finish line!
[14:38] Fan
All three of them want to pull ahead here!
[14:41] Fan
Who will make it through first?
[14:45] Fan
No one's giving any ground!
[14:47] Fan
A super close-quarters battle!
[14:48] Fan
You can hear them clashing!
[14:52] Midousuji
Gross!
[14:54] Fan
They pulled out of the corner
in the same formation!
[14:57] Imaizumi
#16 kept up with our high-risk cornering.
[15:02] Imaizumi
It seems he's no ordinary climber.
[15:05] Imaizumi
Hakone Academy can't be underestimated.
[15:08] Midousuji
So #16 has steeled his resolve.
[15:13] Midousuji
He was smiling during the entire corner.
[15:17] Midousuji
And I thought Hakone Academy
was out of the race.

Shinkai's brother.* That *Shinkai's brother...
[15:25] Midousuji
Fine. I'll make them taste despair again.
[15:31] Midousuji
This time...
[15:33] Midousuji
This time, at the finish line!
[15:36] Yuto
Ashikiba-san, I'm going to win.
[15:39] Yuto
My answer is...
[15:41] Yuto
Yes!

[15:56] Yuto
is this 400-meter straightaway!

#16, Shinkai Yuto, is attacking!
[16:02] Imaizumi
What was that?
[16:03] Imaizumi
He dropped behind Midousuji for a
second and accelerated around him.
[16:07] Imaizumi
Did he use Midousuji to
block the wind for a moment?
[16:10] Imaizumi
I can't predict what he'll do.
[16:12] Imaizumi
His movements are too tricky.
[16:14] Imaizumi
And he's always one step ahead.
[16:17] Imaizumi
Is he going for the finish line...
[16:20] Midousuji
...from 400 meters?
[16:22] Imaizumi
You're not getting away!
[16:28] Yuto
Wow, I'm impressed.
[16:30] Imaizumi
Where are you going, #16?
[16:33] Imaizumi
That was some nice acceleration,
[16:35] Imaizumi
but it's a bit early to be
racing for the finish line.
[16:38] Imaizumi
Are you in a hurry?
[16:46] Yuto
It was a feint.
[16:48] Midousuji
A feint?
[16:49] Midousuji
He did that on purpose, to see how we'd react?
[16:54] Midousuji
When he attacked, I thought he was making
a desperate attempt for the finish line.
[17:00] Midousuji
He really is
[17:02] Midousuji
Shinkai Hayato's younger brother.
[17:05] Midousuji
I'll need to raise my threat level to six.
[17:09] Yuto
Was 400 too early, Imaizumi-san?
[17:12] Yuto
Then...
[17:13] Yuto
How about 300?

He's attacking!
[17:20] Imaizumi
Is he starting the second round now?
[17:25] Imaizumi
What's with this guy?
[17:26] Imaizumi
The usual rules of the finish line
sprint don't apply to him.
[17:31] Imaizumi
We caught you.
[17:32] Imaizumi
What's the rush?
[17:33] Yuto
I thought I had it that time.
[17:36] Yuto
You really are fast.
[17:39] Midousuji
First it was a feint made
to look like a sprint.
[17:42] Midousuji
Then it was a sprint made
to look like a feint.
[17:45] Midousuji
Shinkai Yuto!
[17:48] Yuto
What is it, Midousuji-san?

You're contemptuous!

You're a bit close.
[17:56] Midousuji
You're two-faced!
[17:58] Yuto
Getting close to people is my specialty.
[18:01] Midousuji
And you're gross!
[18:06] Yuto
What's that? A compliment?
[18:09] Midousuji
Looks like I'll have to raise
my threat level to ten.
[18:14] Midousuji
He won't even look away after all of that.
[18:18] Midousuji
He fully intends to fight.
[18:23] Midousuji
I wasn't expecting to find it here.
[18:26] Midousuji
I thought it disappeared last year.

I'll stay ahead of them and win!

Now! Go, Imaizumi Shunsuke!

Seriously?

But he's Weakizumi! But he's Crackizumi!
[19:19] Midousuji
But he's Chirpizumi! But he's...
[19:23] Midousuji
No, no. That doesn't matter now.
[19:26] Midousuji
There are pests in front of me!
[19:30] Midousuji
I'll knock them aside!
[19:32] Midousuji
That's all that matters!
[19:34] Imaizumi
I'll win!
[19:37] Imaizumi
I've fought for the finish line
in countless races until now.
[19:41] Imaizumi
But I've only ever won when my body
reacted instinctively, like it did now.
[19:47] Imaizumi
I'll shake off Midousuji and Shinkai.
[19:49] Imaizumi
I'll ride in the front!
[19:51] Imaizumi
So jump! Jump, jump!
[19:54] Imaizumi
My limiter!
[19:57] Miki
Imaizumi-kun's coming!
[19:58] Sugimoto
He's in front!
[19:59] Toji
He attacked first!
[20:00] Danchiku
Go, Imaizumi-san!
[20:05] Imaizumi
Jump, jump!
[20:08] Miki
Imaizumi-kun...
[20:09] (Flashback) Imaizumi
I feel like I haven't gone all-out
since I became a second-year.
[20:14] (Flashback) Imaizumi
Last year, I had seniors.
I was unconstrained.
[20:17] (Flashback) Imaizumi
But this year...
[20:19] (Flashback) Imaizumi
It feels like I've had a limiter
installed here the whole time.
[20:24] Miki
His limiter...
[20:26] Fan
They're catching up!
[20:28] Imaizumi
Fall off! Off, off!
[20:36] Imaizumi
A limiter? Don't be ridiculous,
Imaizumi Shunsuke.
[20:41] Imaizumi
This is nothing.
[20:42] Imaizumi
Compared to what they did, this is nothing!
[20:46] Imaizumi
If it won't come off, then I'll force it off.
[20:49] Imaizumi
The whole team carried this jersey this
far by pushing themselves to their limits!
[20:58] Imaizumi
Fall off, limiter!
[21:09] Fan
Sohoku's accelerating!
[21:11] Fan
He's so fast!
[21:11] Fan
What is that sprint?
[21:15] Imaizumi
Charge straight ahead, Imaizumi Shunsuke!
[21:18] Aya
Why is he so intense?
[21:20] Aya
Has he always been that passionate?
[21:23] Sugimoto
Imaizumi's always full of passion.
[21:25] Sugimoto
He's the most dependable guy on the team.
[21:28] Sugimoto
And the strongest.
[21:32] Sugimoto
Win, Imaizumi!
[21:36] Imaizumi
Of course!
[21:38] Miki
He's back to his usual strong-willed self.
[21:42] Fan
150 meters remaining!
[23:20] Ashikiba
Yuto, you cut your bangs two centimeters.
[23:23] Yuto
You could tell? I cut them myself.
[23:26] Ashikiba
It looks good.
SIGN Several Days Later
[23:31] Ashikiba
Yuto, you cut your bangs again.
[23:35] Yuto
No, I didn't.
SIGN NEXT LINE Three Powerhouses
[23:37] Ashikiba
It looks good.
