[00:04] Sakamichi Mom
My, my, my...
[00:06] Sakamichi Mom
What a coincidence. It's you again.
[00:08] Class Rep
Hello. It's been a year since—
[00:12] Sakamichi Mom
It's been a year since I last saw you.
[00:13] Class Rep
Uh, yes.
[00:15] Sakamichi Mom
How do you think I recognized you?
[00:17] Class Rep
Huh? Say what?
[00:19] Sakamichi Mom
Pop quiz. No hints.
[00:21] Class Rep
What? A quiz?
[00:23] Sakamichi Mom
The answer is that hat.
[00:25] Class Rep
You're already telling me the answer?
[00:26] Sakamichi Mom
I gave that hat...
[00:31] Sakamichi Mom
to a considerate student as a gift.
[00:36] Sakamichi Mom
Oh, right. I remember now.
[00:39] Sakamichi Mom
You were cheering for him a year ago.
[00:42] Sakamichi Mom
That boy riding ahead of Sakamichi.
[00:45] Class Rep
What? Sangaku?
[00:49] Sakamichi Mom
Have you started dating yet?
[00:52] Class Rep
What? No. No, no!
[00:53] Class Rep
Wh-Why are you talking about dating?
[00:55] Class Rep
Not yet. I m-mean...
[00:57] Sakamichi Mom
Even though a whole year has passed?
[01:01] Class Rep
I-I-It's n-n-not like that. I just...
[01:04] Sakamichi Mom
You're young. Why don't you go for it?
[01:06] Sakamichi Mom
He seems like such a nice young man.
[01:09] Class Rep
You're not wrong about that.
[01:10] Sakamichi Mom
Don't you like him?
[01:12] Class Rep
What? Uh, I never I said I liked him.
[01:16] Sakamichi Mom
It's obvious from your attitude that you do.
[01:19] Class Rep
F-For now, I'm just cheering for him.
[01:24] Class Rep
Sangaku's preoccupied
with cycling right now.
[01:28] Sakamichi Mom
It's hopeless, isn't it?
[01:30] Class Rep
Why do you care? It's my business.
[01:32] Sakamichi Mom
I mean boys.
[01:33] Class Rep
Huh?
[01:36] Sakamichi Mom
They're always preoccupied with something
even though we're worried sick about them.
[01:42] Class Rep
Ma'am...
[01:46] Sakamichi Mom
My son used to be a timid boy who couldn't
even enter tall grass by himself.
[01:53] Sakamichi Mom
I hoped he'd pull himself together and
be more assertive, but these days,
[01:59] Sakamichi Mom
when he falls during practice,
he tapes his injuries himself
[02:03] Sakamichi Mom
and declines my offers to help.
[02:07] Sakamichi Mom
When I watch him clumsily doing his best...
[02:12] Sakamichi Mom
I'm glad he's toughened up,
[02:15] Sakamichi Mom
but I'm also sad that he's drifting away.
[02:19] Class Rep
Oh.
[02:20] Sakamichi Mom
He's always telling me about how he has to
[02:23] Sakamichi Mom
work hard for the team and
rushing out of the house.
[02:27] Sakamichi Mom
He tells me stories about how
they won or how amazing it was.
[02:34] Sakamichi Mom
But that's not what I want from him.
[02:37] Sakamichi Mom
All I want is for him to make
it back home in one piece.

[04:21] Manami
One kilometer...
[04:22] Sakamichi
...remaining!
[04:25] Manami
The course is narrowing.
[04:26] Manami
The spectators' cheers make my skin prickle.
[04:29] Manami
Huh?
[04:31] Manami
No, this is the numbness I feel when
my body's approaching its limit.
[04:36] Manami
I'm right on the edge.
[04:37] Manami
But I have to go on.
[04:39] Sakamichi
Everything hurts. My neck hurts.
[04:41] Sakamichi
My back hurts.
[04:43] Sakamichi
I can't feel my toes.
[04:45] Sakamichi
But there's just one kilometer to go.
[04:48] Sakamichi
I have to keep moving forward.
[04:55] Sakamichi Mom
Who wouldn't want to see their
own son looking valiant?
[04:57] Sakamichi Mom
I came so I could get a picture of it.
[04:59] Sakamichi Mom
But then I left my camera
in Shinohara-san's car.
[05:03] Class Rep
What are you going to do?
[05:05] Sakamichi Mom
What should I do?
[05:07] Class Rep
Uh, um...
[05:09] Sakamichi Mom
I've been calling her, but the signal's weak.
[05:13] Class Rep
Oh, there!

[05:18] Sakamichi Mom
Oh, my. This thing has a camera?
[05:21] Sakamichi Mom
These smooth phones are amazing.
[05:23] Class Rep
"Smartphone."
[05:26] Sakamichi Mom
Boop.
[05:31] Class Rep
I came to cheer someone on, too.
[05:33] Class Rep
I swore I'd cheer for Sangaku
at this year's Inter-High
[05:38] Class Rep
because I've been watching
him over the past year.
[05:42] Class Rep
Ever since that day I watched
him race up Mt. Fuji.
[05:49] (Flashback) Class Rep
Please win, Sangaku!
[05:58] (Flashback) Class Rep
The race must be over.
[06:00] Announce
Goal!
[06:01] (Flashback) Class Rep
Sangaku!
[06:03] Announce
The first to cross the finish line
on the third and final day is #176...
[06:08] (Flashback) Class Rep
What?
SIGN Free Shuttle
[06:13] Class Rep
I couldn't speak to him.
[06:15] Class Rep
I don't know much about road racing,
but nobody likes losing.
[06:21] Class Rep
But maybe that's all the more reason
why I should've said something to him.
[06:27] Class Rep
No, that would've been impertinent.
[06:29] Class Rep
But I came all the way here.
[06:31] Class Rep
What's the right answer?
[06:38] Class Rep
Out of regret, three days later,
I waited for Sangaku near his house.
[06:43] Class Rep
Going all the way to his
house would be too much.
[06:46] Class Rep
I'll pretend it was a coincidence.
[06:49] Class Rep
He always takes this route on the way home.
[06:53] (Flashback) Class Rep
Sangaku, I just happened to...
[07:00] Class Rep
Sangaku didn't come that day.
[07:05] Class Rep
Or the next day,
[07:08] Class Rep
or the day after that.
[07:12] Class Rep
Two days later...
[07:20] Class Rep
I finally saw Sangaku.
[07:23] (Flashback) Manami
Hey, class rep.
[07:33] (Flashback) Class Rep
You even bike on rainy days, huh?
[07:37] (Flashback) Manami
It's nice and cool during
the summer when it rains.
[07:40] (Flashback) Manami
And I won't get sick even if I get rained on.
[07:42] (Flashback) Manami
That said, it's been a
while since I last rode.
[07:45] (Flashback) Manami
I finally felt like riding again.
[07:49] Class Rep
A while?
SIGN Hakone Academy Private High School
[07:51] Class Rep
I was under the impression he rode every day.
[07:54] Class Rep
He couldn't ride when he
loves his bike so much?
[07:58] (Flashback) Class Rep
O-Oh, really? Huh.
[08:01] Class Rep
I should change the subject.
[08:03] (Flashback) Class Rep
Um...
[08:05] Class Rep
"I went to see the Inter-High." No, not that.
[08:08] Class Rep
"It was close. Too bad you placed
second." Definitely not that.
[08:11] Class Rep
I shouldn't mention the Inter-High.
[08:15] (Flashback) Class Rep
I know. Have you done your summer work...
[08:18] (Flashback) Manami
You came to the Inter-High.
[08:21] (Flashback) Class Rep
...sheets?
[08:22] (Flashback) Manami
I heard you.
[08:25] (Flashback) Manami
Thanks.
[08:28] (Flashback) Class Rep
You're welcome. I'm surprised
you could hear me.
[08:33] (Flashback) Manami
Yeah. I could hear everyone's voices
and my teammates' cheers of "go,"
[08:41] (Flashback) Manami
"You can do it," and "Manami!"
[08:44] (Flashback) Manami
But I couldn't answer them.
[08:49] (Flashback) Manami
I had to answer them. I'm an idiot.
[08:54] (Flashback) Manami
I finally understand the weight of what
Fukutomi-san, Arakita-san, Toudou-san,
[09:00] (Flashback) Manami
Shinkai-san, and Izumida-san
were trying to do after I lost.
[09:14] (Flashback) Class Rep
Cheer up. This isn't like you.
[09:17] (Flashback) Class Rep
You forget everything, from your
homework to your worksheets.
[09:22] (Flashback) Class Rep
Just forget about all that unpleasantness.
[09:26] (Flashback) Manami
Thanks, class rep. But I can't cheer up.
[09:33] (Flashback) Manami
I've cried so many times since
the race, but nothing changes.
[09:44] (Flashback) Manami
My senior Toudou-san told me something.
[09:48] (Flashback) Toudou
It's not your fault.
[09:50] (Flashback) Toudou
Don't feel bad about the outcome.
[09:52] (Flashback) Toudou
But when your final loss is the
team's loss, we blame ourselves.
[09:58] (Flashback) Toudou
Though the pain will tear you apart,
it can't be helped. Not for a while.
[10:05] (Flashback) Toudou
It takes time.
[10:07] (Flashback) Toudou
You just have to endure
it until you can face it.
[10:12] Class Rep
There was nothing I could say
to him as he sadly smiled.
[10:24] Class Rep
It must've really come as a shock to him.
[10:27] Class Rep
Of course it did.
What should I have said to him?
[10:31] Class Rep
I don't know. Sangaku's always so carefree.
[10:36] Class Rep
I've never really seen him depressed before.
[10:39] Class Rep
Should I take him cycling like I used to? No.
[10:45] (Flashback) Class Rep
I know, games!
Sangaku plays video games.
[10:50] (Flashback) Class Rep
Here.
[10:52] (Flashback) Class Rep
Try this. They said on TV that
games are a good distraction.
[10:57] Class Rep
And this thing was expensive.
You'd better play it.
[11:01] (Flashback) Manami
How unusual.
[11:03] (Flashback) Manami
You're giving me a gift?
[11:06] (Flashback) Class Rep
No... Well, yes.
[11:10] (Flashback) Class Rep
But don't read into it too much.
[11:13] (Flashback) Manami
Thanks.
[11:15] (Flashback) Class Rep
Don't play too much.
[11:17] (Flashback) Class Rep
You'd better do your homework, too.
[11:19] (Flashback) Manami
I know.
[11:22] (Flashback) Manami
Don't worry. I won't.
[11:28] Class Rep
By the time summer ended,
[11:29] Class Rep
he was attending practice every day and
seemed to be cheerfully riding his bike.
[11:35] (Flashback) Manami
Sorry.
[11:37] Teacher
Manami.
[11:38] Class Rep
He even showed up late when
the new semester started.
[11:40] (Flashback) Class Rep
Jeez!
[11:43] Class Rep
I was relieved to see he was
back to his normal self.
[11:48] Class Rep
But that relief didn't last long.
[11:53] Class Rep
After that, Sangaku collapsed several
times during practice and intrateam races.
[11:58] (Flashback) Class Rep
Excuse me.
[12:00] Class Rep
He was never seriously injured,
and every time I showed up...
[12:04] (Flashback) Manami
I fell again. I'm so clumsy.
[12:09] Class Rep
He always brushed it off.
[12:12] Manami
I have to win.
[12:13] Manami
I have to win every team and official race.
[12:19] Manami
I have to become even stronger.
[12:23] (Flashback) Teammate A
Hey, it's been two hours.
[12:25] (Flashback) Teammate B
If you don't stop,
you'll collapse again, Manami.
[12:29] (Flashback) Manami
I'm fine.
[12:30] (Flashback) Teammate A
But...
[12:31] (Flashback) Manami
I'm fine.
[12:36] Class Rep
He's not back to normal at all.
[12:39] Class Rep
I've never seen Sangaku
scowl like that before.
[12:42] (Flashback) Toudou
Do you know Manami?
[12:46] (Flashback) Toudou
You've been coming to watch a lot recently.
[12:48] (Flashback) Class Rep
Yes, I'm sorry. I promise
I won't get in the way.
[12:53] (Flashback) Toudou
He's put it all on himself.
[12:55] (Flashback) Toudou
No, we put it on him.
[13:00] (Flashback) Toudou
He's currently inside a long tunnel.
[13:04] (Flashback) Toudou
Unfortunately, he won't be back for a while.
[13:06] (Flashback) Touduo
Not until he realizes a
certain truth for himself.
[13:12] (Flashback) Class Rep
A certain truth?
SIGN Yowamushi Pedal
[13:23] (Flashback) Class Rep
Could you please tell Sangaku about
that truth right this instant?
[13:28] (Flashback) Toudou
We've already told him numerous times.
[13:31] (Flashback) Toudou
Me, Fuku, and Shinkai.
[13:35] (Flashback) Toudou
But listening and understanding
are different things.
[13:38] (Flashback) Toudou
It takes days for the things we've heard
to pass through our bodies and sink in.
[13:43] (Flashback) Toudou
I also want to take away Manami's pain.
[13:49] (Flashback) Toudou
The legendary Hakone Academy bicycle
racing team lost at the Inter-High.
SIGN Hakone Academy Bicycle Racing Team
[13:57] (Flashback) Toudou
Not only that, but he was our final rider.
[14:00] (Flashback) Toudou
And it's not a burden he could carry
as a scrawny little first-year.
[14:13] (Flashback) Teammate A
Manami!
[14:14] (Flashback) Teammate B
Are you okay?
[14:19] (Flashback) Class Rep
Toudou-san...
[14:21] (Flashback) Class Rep
You're him, right? The third-year.
[14:25] (Flashback) Class Rep
There's... There's nothing I can do for him.
[14:30] (Flashback) Class Rep
I attended the race,
but I couldn't say anything.
[14:35] (Flashback) Class Rep
I can't think of anything
clever to say, and frankly,
[14:38] (Flashback) Class Rep
I don't know much about bicycles.
[14:41] (Flashback) Class Rep
But...
[14:42] (Flashback) Class Rep
But is there anything I can do?
[14:48] (Flashback) Toudou
Listen to him.
[14:50] (Flashback) Class Rep
What?
[14:51] (Flashback) Toudou
You don't have to respond.
[14:53] (Flashback) Toudou
You can just nod along to his idle chitchat.
[15:01] (Flashback) Class Rep
Okay.
[15:04] Class Rep
After that, I earnestly listened
to everything Sangaku said.
[15:09] (Flashback) Manami
My teammate put his jersey in the wash
with an energy bar in the pocket.
[15:13] (Flashback) Class Rep
Uh-huh. And?
[15:15] (Flashback) Manami
What? That's the whole story.
[15:17] (Flashback) Class Rep
That's it? There must be more.
[15:19] (Flashback) Class Rep
Like it got on the other
laundry or attracted birds.
[15:23] (Flashback) Manami
But he didn't say what happened after that.
[15:26] Class Rep
Oh, no. I'm supposed to be listening.
[15:29] Class Rep
I took his story too seriously.
[15:31] (Flashback) Manami
You know, class rep...
[15:32] (Flashback) Class Rep
Yes?
[15:33] (Flashback) Manami
You seem awfully interested in energy bars.
[15:35] (Flashback) Class Rep
Yes.
[15:36] (Flashback) Manami
Do you want one?
[15:37] (Flashback) Class Rep
Yes.
[15:42] Class Rep
At school...
[15:43] (Flashback) Manami
Class rep.
[15:46] (Flashback) Manami
Are you busy?
[15:47] (Flashback) Class Rep
Actually, I...
[15:49] (Flashback) Class Rep
Not at all.
[15:51] (Flashback) Manami
What do you think of the new cafeteria menu?
[15:53] Class Rep
He wants to talk about that?
[15:55] (Flashback) Class Rep
Well...
[15:56] Class Rep
Do we have to talk about that right now?
[15:59] Class Rep
While standing, no less?
[16:01] (Flashback) Manami
I preferred the old one.
[16:03] (Flashback) Class Rep
Y-Yeah...
[16:06] Manami
Om nom nom nom...
[16:08] Class Rep
What is he saying?
[16:11] (Flashback) Class Rep
U-Uh, yeah.
[16:14] Class Rep
The seasons changed,
and one day, out of nowhere...
[16:19] (Flashback) Manami
Class rep...
[16:21] (Flashback) Manami
Are you free now?
[16:23] (Flashback) Class Rep
Yeah, sure.
[16:26] (Flashback) Manami
I found it.
[16:30] (Flashback) Manami
All of a sudden, while riding my bike yesterday.
[16:34] (Flashback) Manami
I found a kind of—how can I explain it?
[16:39] (Flashback) Manami
I arrived at a certain truth.
[16:43] Class Rep
They were the words Toudou-san
had told me that day.
[16:48] (Flashback) Toudou
The truth is very simple.
[16:52] (Flashback) Toudou
When people fail, they immediately
try to make up for it.
[16:56] (Flashback) Toudou
They're desperate to wipe away their failure.
[16:59] (Flashback) Toudou
They rush to produce results.
[17:02] (Flashback) Toudou
But as long as they're
doing that, they can't.
[17:06] (Flashback) Toudou
He'll fail again.
[17:09] (Flashback) Toudou
Once he's tried to his heart's content,
[17:12] (Flashback) Toudou
given everything he has
physically and emotionally,
[17:15] (Flashback) Toudou
and is finally empty, he'll realize it.
[17:19] (Flashback) Manami
In the end, that's how it is.
[17:25] Class Rep
After that day, Sangaku changed,
little by little.
[17:30] (Flashback) Teammate A
Manami placed third in the recent team race.
[17:33] (Flashback) Teammate B
That's good. He's returning to form.
[17:38] Class Rep
When he rode with the third-years
in their sendoff race...
[17:44] Class Rep
When he met Toudou-san on a snowy day and
raced against someone on some road...
[17:52] Class Rep
He seemed happy when he told me about it.
[17:56] Class Rep
Sangaku had cheered up.
[17:59] Class Rep
He'd exited the long tunnel and returned.
[18:05] Class Rep
And in March,
[18:08] Class Rep
when Sangaku showed up on time for
once to his seniors' graduation,
[18:12] Class Rep
he was radiant.
[18:22] Class Rep
Sangaku is back.
He's overflowing with confidence...
[18:27] (Flashback) Manami
I forgot to sign the participation agreement,
so my victory was invalidated.
[18:33] (Flashback) Teammate A
What?
[18:34] (Flashback) Teammate B
Seriously?
[18:35] Class Rep
...and wearing that dopey smile.
[18:39] Class Rep
And now, you've overcome numerous
struggles on your way here.
[18:46] Class Rep
To the finish line of the
final day of the Inter-High.
[18:51] Class Rep
Sangaku, do you remember
what you said that day?
[18:56] (Flashback) Manami
In the end, that's how it is.
[18:59] (Flashback) Manami
It's simple.
[19:03] (Flashback) Manami
A loss at the Inter-High can only
be made up for at the Inter-High.
[19:09] Class Rep
Such powerful words.
[19:12] Teammate A
The lead riders are coming!
[19:15] Class Rep
Sangaku is surely here at this Inter-High
to make those words reality.
[19:24] Class Rep
There's nothing I can do.
There's nothing I can say.
[19:27] Class Rep
So I'll cheer my heart out.
[19:31] Class Rep
That's why I came here.
[19:34] Class Rep
Sangaku!
[19:36] Fan A
Go!
[19:37] Fan B
Hakone Academy!
[19:38] Fan C
Pedal hard!
[19:40] Class Rep
What? No way.
[19:41] Class Rep
Everyone else is so loud. My
voice won't reach him like this.
[19:45] Fan A
The two lead riders are
the same as last year!
[19:48] Fan B
Will one get revenge,
or will the other win again?
[19:50] Fan C
This is so exciting!
[19:53] Class Rep
What should I do?
[19:54] Class Rep
Sangaku will be here soon.
[19:56] Class Rep
I'm too small. He won't see me.
[19:58] Class Rep
He won't hear me.
[20:04] Class Rep
No, Sangaku is fighting now.
[20:08] Class Rep
He's fighting all alone to achieve
what he's wanted all year.
[20:12] Class Rep
All I need to do is cheer for him.
[20:16] Class Rep
It doesn't matter if he doesn't hear me.
[20:18] Class Rep
It doesn't matter if he doesn't see me.
[20:19] Class Rep
I'll yell as loud as I can.
[20:22] Class Rep
I'll cheer for you. I'll tell you...
[20:25] Class Rep
That's odd. They're the same
words I said last year.
[20:29] Class Rep
Please win, Sangaku!
[20:35] Class Rep
What? Did Sangaku just nod slightly?
[20:42] Manami
The class rep was here.
[20:45] Manami
I must be amazing. I picked out her
voice through all these cheers.
[20:50] Manami
I wonder why.
[20:53] Manami
It must be because she listened
to me so much over the past year.
[20:59] Manami
Win? Yeah, of course.
[21:03] Manami
That's why I'm here.
[21:06] Fan D
Hakone Academy accelerated!
[21:07] Fan E
He's got a slight lead!
[21:09] Sakamichi Mom
He's here. It's my son.
[21:13] Sakamichi Mom
Sakamichi...
[21:15] Sakamichi Mom
You're gritting your teeth
and sweating so much
[21:18] Sakamichi Mom
as you race with a determined
look on your face.
[21:21] Sakamichi Mom
I wish I could wipe your sweat away,
but these days you've been rejecting my help.
[21:27] Sakamichi Mom
Go on. Do what you want to do.
[21:31] Sakamichi Mom
Go after it, Sakamichi!
[21:34] Sakamichi
Yeah!
[21:37] Sakamichi Mom
He's gone.
[21:41] Sakamichi Mom
I got lots of photos of the ground.
[21:46] Sakamichi
I just heard a voice that
sounded like my mom's.
[21:49] Sakamichi
I said "yeah" without thinking about it.
[21:52] (Flashback) Sakamichi Mom
Go after it!
[21:53] Sakamichi
My mom used to say that to me all the time.
[21:58] (Flashback) Sakamichi Mom
Come on. Try harder to go after it.
[22:01] (Flashback) Young Sakamichi
But, Mom...
[22:03] (Flashback) Sakamichi Mom
Go get it yourself.
[22:07] (Flashback) Young Sakamichi
I can't. There are bugs in there.
[22:09] (Flashback) Sakamichi Mom
You'll be fine. Go on.
[22:13] Sakamichi
I was scared of tall grass back then.
[22:15] Sakamichi
Places where anything might jump out
at you were like alien worlds to me.
[22:21] (Flashback) Sakamichi Mom
Just go after it.
[22:23] (Flashback) Sakamichi Mom
Why do you always give up partway?
[22:25] Sakamichi
But, Mom, I've grown a little.
[22:31] Sakamichi
I can enter the tall grass alone.
[22:36] Sakamichi
I'm riding this road alone.
[22:40] Sakamichi
I'm even chasing after what's in front of me.
[22:43] Sakamichi
Do you know why?
[22:46] Sakamichi
Because my seniors, my juniors, and friends
[22:50] Sakamichi
have given me so much strength and courage.
[22:56] Sakamichi
I'm exhausted.
[22:57] Sakamichi
But I'll chase after what's in front of me.
