[00:01] Miki
    National Route 119, Nikkou Kaidou.
[00:05] Miki
    This mountain road lined with tall cedar
    trees leads to Nikkou Toushou-guu Shrine,
[00:10] Miki
    a national treasure with
    over 400 years of history.
[00:17] Miki
    The road becomes National Route 120 at the
    intersection of the sacred bridge.
SIGN    1,173m Above Sea Level
[00:22] Miki
    The road rises even higher.
[00:24] Miki
    The long winding road that starts at
    one thousand meters above sea level
[00:28] Miki
    will be the turning point in the
    Inter-High's first-day mountain stage,
[00:34] Miki
    Nikkou Irohazaka.
[00:37] Sakamichi
    I've been separated.
[00:38] Sakamichi
    Teshima-san told me to stay
    towards the front, too.
[00:41] Sakamichi
    He told me to stay with the team.

[02:18] Fan
    I see them!
[02:19] Fan
    They're here.
[02:21] Fan
    There are so many of them.
[02:22] Fan
    Go!
[02:23] Fan
    You can do it!
[02:27] Fan
    Everyone's riding together.
[02:29] Fan
    Are they friends?
[02:30] Fan
    Well, actually...
[02:32] Fan
    When the road's gently sloping,
    it's easier for everyone to ride together.
[02:35] Fan
    The wind resistance is—
[02:37] Fan
    Let's just say they're working together.
[02:40] Fan
    But there's a hill ahead, right?
[02:43] Fan
    Yeah.
[02:44] Fan
    Then they won't be able
    to ride together anymore.
[02:46] Fan
    What?
[02:47] Fan
    The line they're riding in now
    will get longer and longer.
[02:50] Fan
    By the end, they'll be separated.
[02:51] Both
    What?
[02:53] Fan
    Separated?
[02:53] Fan
    Differences in strength
    become apparent on climbs.
[02:57] Fan
    Won't they be lonely?
[02:58] Fan
    Each team establishes its own
    strategy so that doesn't happen.
[03:03] Fan
    Strategy? Then they'll be fine.
[03:06] Fan
    But what if they mess up?
[03:08] Fan
    If that happens,
    then they'll have to ride alone.
[03:14] Sakamichi
    What am I doing?
[03:16] Sakamichi
    The six of us just met up.
[03:19] Sakamichi
    But I got swallowed by the pack
    and separated from the others.
[03:21] Sakamichi
    I need to get back to the front.
[03:23] Sakamichi
    Teshima-san and the others are at the front...
[03:25] Sakamichi
    Far ahead, where I can't see them.
[03:28] Sakamichi
    I'll go back. I'll go back. I'll go back!
[03:31] Sakamichi
    I'll get back to the others
    before we enter the mountains.
[03:36] Rider
    I told you, we're not letting
    you go to the front.
[03:39] Rider
    After all, you're a climber wearing tag #1.
[03:44] Sakamichi
    I just want to get back
     to Teshima-san—to my team.
[03:48] Sakamichi
    Can't you—
[03:48] Rider
    What will you do then?
[03:50] Rider
    Receive orders from your team and
    ride to win the mountain stage, right?
[03:55] Sakamichi
    What?
[03:56] Rider
    That's what we fear most.
[04:00] Rider
    We have climbers on our teams, too.
[04:02] Rider
    The first day's mountain stage
    is the Inter-High's medal.
[04:06] Rider
    Everyone respects the first day because
    we can fight without restraint.
[04:12] Rider
    The red number tag is a badge of pride.
[04:14] Rider
    Everyone wants it.
    Every team is riding for it.
[04:17] Rider
    Sorry, but we need you to stay out of it.
[04:19] Sakamichi
    I just... I just...
[04:22] Sakamichi
    I just want to do my job.
[04:24] Rider
    Stop Sohoku High School's Onoda,
    the bearer of tag #1.
[04:28] Rider
    That's my job.
[04:30] Rider
    I plan to do my job, too.
[04:33] Rider
    For my team.
[04:36] Rider
    Sohoku High School's Onoda, tag #1...
[04:38] Rider
    This is Onoda? He's the
    only one I won't let go.
[04:42] Sakamichi
    I can feel their pressure.
[04:45] Sakamichi
    What do I do? What do I do?
[04:47] Sakamichi
    What do I do?
[04:49] (Flashback) Aoyagi
    What did you learn from Makishima-san?
[04:52] (Flashback) Aoyagi
    Carry on their legacy. Teach him.
[04:54] (Flashback) Aoyagi
    Show him with your riding.
[04:55] Sakamichi
    Show them with my riding.
[04:57] Sakamichi
    That's right. I have to get to the front.
[05:01] Sakamichi
    The front...
[05:03] Sakamichi
    He asked me to take care of
    Sohoku High School for him.
[05:08] Sakamichi
    Move, please!
[05:10] Sakamichi
    Please!
[05:11] Rider
    Get back in line, #1!
[05:13] Sakamichi
    No!
[05:19] Sakamichi
    The metal part of my pedal clipped his ankle.
[05:22] Rider
    I'm Yamagata Mogami High School
    second-year Inashiro Bunya.
[05:26] Rider
    I'm Mogami's assistant in the mountains.
[05:28] Rider
    I won't let you go.
[05:30] Rider
    I'd sacrifice my legs to keep you here.
[05:33] Rider
    I'll block like my life's at stake.
[05:36] Rider
    Win the stage, Kawahara-san.
[05:40] Imaizumi
    The climb has started.
    We've entered the mountains.
[05:45] Rider
    The incline has increased sharply
    since we passed Nikkou Station.
[05:48] Rider
    The real race starts now. Hang in there.
[05:51] Rider
    Yes, sir.
[05:51] Naruko
    What is Onoda-kun doing?
[05:53] Naruko
    He's supposed to be good at climbs!
[05:55] Kaburagi
    He's really not coming. What happened?
[05:59] Kaburagi
    Should I have dropped
    back to bring him to us?
[06:01] Teshima
    Onoda!
[06:03] Imaizumi
    Onoda...
[06:04] Imaizumi
    The pressure of tag #1.
[06:06] Imaizumi
    We thought we prepared for everything,
    but we never practiced brushing that off.
[06:12] Imaizumi
    Come up to us, Onoda.
[06:14] Imaizumi
    Quickly. Otherwise...
[06:16] Rider
    I'm Nagano Chuou High School's climber.
[06:18] Rider
    They call me the Guardian of the Alps.
[06:21] Rider
    I am Awagashira Yumichika.
[06:24] Rider
    Though he temporarily lead the race,
[06:26] Rider
    he sadly ended up third at
    the end of the mountain stage.
[06:28] Rider
    I will vindicate the honor
    of Tatebayashi-senpai.
[06:31] Rider
    I'm Shizuoka Fujigawa High School's
    climber Daikanji Haruichi.
[06:35] Rider
    Mt. Fuji is my home turf.
[06:37] Rider
    There's no mountain taller than Mt. Fuji.
[06:39] Rider
    Look! It's Yamagata Mogami High School
    third-year Kawahara Gunpei!
[06:42] Rider
    Rumor has it he's the strongest
    climber at this tournament!
[06:45] Rider
    Bunya, I'm counting on your assistance.
[06:48] Rider
    I'll claim the mountain number tag.
[06:51] Rider
    They're so fast!
[06:52] Rider
    They're making their move already?
[06:54] Imaizumi
    The climbers are taking
    off one after another.
[06:58] Imaizumi
    Hakone hasn't made their move yet,
[07:00] Imaizumi
    but it's only a matter of time.
[07:02] (Flashback) Teshima
    We'll slow down as much as
    we can and wait for Onoda.
[07:06] (Flashback) Teshima
    Whatever you do, don't let
    Hakone get farther ahead.
[07:09] (Flashback) Both
    Yes, sir.
[07:10] Imaizumi
    We can't wait any longer.
[07:13] Teshima
    The pack has stretched out
    since we entered the climb.
[07:15] Teshima
    I don't see him.
[07:17] Teshima
    They're scattered.
[07:19] Naruko
    Okay, then.
[07:21] Naruko
    Kabu and I will go rescue
    Onoda-kun real quick.
[07:32] Sakamichi
    At some point, I ended up in last place.
SIGN    Sohoku
[07:36] Sakamichi
    I'm at the end of the stretched-out pack.
SIGN    Onoda
[07:40] Sakamichi
    I need to get back to the
    group quickly. Quickly.
[07:43] Sakamichi
    I have to do something.
[07:45] Sakamichi
    It's probably not that bad yet.
[07:48] Sakamichi
    If the way in front of me is blocked, then...
[07:54] Sakamichi
    I'll go back.
[07:55] Rider
    He stopped!
[07:56] Rider
    He braked hard! Is he having
    trouble with his bike?
[07:59] Rider
    No!
[08:04] Rider
    Crap!
[08:05] Rider
    I wasn't expecting him to
    use being in last place!
[08:07] Rider
    Catch him!
[08:08] Rider
    We've already started to enter the climb!
[08:10] Rider
    He's unbelievably fast going uphill!
[08:15] Sakamichi
    I'll catch up like this.
[08:17] Rider
    He's fast!
[08:18] Rider
    You can't be serious!
    How can he accelerate like that?
[08:21] Rider
    Ride as hard as you can!
[08:23] Rider
    Damn it!
[08:25] Rider
    Mogami High School's Inashiro jumped ahead!
[08:26] Rider
    If we don't, he'll get away!
[08:29] Rider
    Don't underestimate me, tag #1.
[08:31] Rider
    I'm Kawahara-san's mountain stage assistant.
[08:33] Rider
    An assistant...
[08:36] Rider
    ...has an assistant's pride!
[08:39] Rider
    Stop, Sohoku High School's Onoda!
[08:41] Rider
    Yamagata Mogami High School's
    Inashiro cut in front of him!
[08:47] Rider
    Sorry.
[08:48] Rider
    That was a little rough, but I
    can't let you get to the front.
[08:52] Rider
    Yamagata Mogami High School will
    take the mountain number tag.
[08:55] Rider
    You're not getting away, Sohoku High School.
[08:58] Rider
    Sohoku High School's #1
    was last year's champion.
[09:02] Rider
    He's stronger than I expected.
    He pedals hard.
[09:05] Rider
    I can't believe he rode so awkwardly
    in the middle of the pack.
[09:09] Rider
    In a few hundred meters, the seven-man
    blockade we had dropped to three.
[09:17] Sakamichi
    They're blocking me from behind.
[09:19] Sakamichi
    I won't be able to use that again.
[09:22] Sakamichi
    Teshima-san...
[09:23] Rider
    I'll stop him. That's my job.
[09:26] Rider
    I'll do it for Kawahara-san.
[09:29] Fan
    The leaders are here!
[09:31] Fan
    It's Nagano Chuou and Shizuoka Fujigawa!
[09:32] Fan
    There's one more behind them!
[09:34] Fan
    He's so fast!
[09:35] Fan
    It's Yamagata Mogami High School
    third-year Kawahara Gunpei!
[09:38] Fan
    Wow, look at him climb!
[09:40] Fan
    He's not even breaking a sweat!
[09:43] Fan
    He's in first!
[09:44] Rider
    Bunya, are you working hard?
[09:47] Rider
    I promise I'll take it this year.
[09:49] Rider
    I'll claim the mountain number tag.
[09:55] Naruko
    What do you mean we can't go
    back for him, Teshima-san?
[09:58] Teshima
    I meant exactly what I said.
[10:00] Teshima
    I won't allow it.
[10:02] Naruko
    Why not?
[10:03] Naruko
    Is it because we're in the mountains?
[10:04] Naruko
    Because he'll make it
    back at the last minute?
[10:06] Naruko
    I'm saying we should rescue him
    because he hasn't come back.
[10:10] Naruko
    The other teams are getting in his way.
[10:12] Naruko
    Anyone would keep last
    year's champion in check.
[10:15] Naruko
    He can't ride at his own pace.
[10:17] Naruko
    Kabu and I will go back and get him.
[10:20] Naruko
    Onoda-kun's never experienced
    something like this.
[10:22] Teshima
    Shouting at the night's
    darkness won't create light.
[10:25] Teshima
    All you can do is wait for dawn.
[10:27] Naruko
    What is that, some kind of riddle?
[10:29] Kaburagi
    What? A riddle?
[10:31] Naruko
    We're in the mountains,
    and Onoda-kun's not here.
[10:34] Naruko
    There's no telling when
    Hakone will make their move.
[10:36] Naruko
    And you want us to wait in silence?
[10:38] Teshima
    I'm telling you not to act recklessly!
[10:41] Naruko
    What?
[10:42] Teshima
    If we changed our formation,
    we'd be playing into their hands.
[10:46] Teshima
    It may look like they're not paying attention,
     but they're keeping a close eye on us.
[10:50] Teshima
    If our numbers decrease, they'll attack.
[10:53] Teshima
    We'll fall behind.
[10:55] Teshima
    If you and Kaburagi go back, leaving three
    of us, it'll be three against six.
[11:00] Teshima
    They're waiting for
    just that kind of situation.
[11:04] Teshima
    Their goal is to force our
    entire team out of the race.
[11:07] Naruko
    What?
[11:09] Kaburagi
    Then we can't rescue him.
[11:12] Teshima
    We're at an overwhelming disadvantage.
[11:15] Teshima
    We have to climb this mountain without our
    ace climber and two exhausted sprinters.
[11:21] Teshima
    We're about to start up
    the hellish Irohazaka.
[11:24] Teshima
    And this year's Hakone Academy High School
    has Kuroda, Ashikiba, Manami, and Shinkai.
[11:31] Teshima
    They have four climbers.
[11:34] Naruko
    Four.
[11:36] Naruko
    I noticed Shinkai's little brother
    didn't race in the sprint.
[11:39] Naruko
    So he's a climber, huh?
[11:41] Kaburagi
    Then will we give up on
    winning the mountain stage?
[11:44] Kaburagi
    Onoda-san's not back yet.
[11:46] Teshima
    We can't.
[11:47] Teshima
    If they make their move, we'll have to, as well.
[11:50] Kaburagi
    Why? We can just let them
    do whatever they want.
[11:53] Teshima
    If we do that, they'll head
    straight for the finish line.
[11:58] Kaburagi
    What? The finish line?
[12:00] Aoyagi
    The results of the mountain stage
    affect the finish line after that.
[12:04] Aoyagi
    We can't let them take
    the mountains so easily.
[12:07] Naruko
    Aoyagi-san...
[12:09] Imaizumi
    Aoyagi-san said two whole sentences.
[12:12] Kaburagi
    What are we going to do, then?
[12:13] Teshima
    I have orders for you.
[12:16] Both
    Yes, sir.
[12:17] Teshima
    Imaizumi...
[12:18] Imaizumi
    Yes, sir.
[12:19] Naruko
    Looks like is a job for hotshot.
[12:20] Teshima
    You and Naruko take turns pulling the
    team and prepare for the finish line.
[12:26] Teshima
    You're our ace.
[12:27] Teshima
    Without you at the finish line,
    we'll lose what should be ours.
[12:30] Teshima
    Sorry for making you spend your energy,
[12:33] Teshima
    but take our exhausted sprinters
    to the top of the mountain.
[12:36] Kaburagi
    Exhausted sprinter?
[12:38] Kaburagi
    He must be talking about you.
[12:41] Naruko
    Then who's—
[12:43] Rider
    Hakone's making their move!
[12:45] Imaizumi
    They're moving!
[12:45] Naruko
    Hakone Academy High School!
[12:46] Teshima
    Who will they send?
[12:47] Izumida
    It's nearly time.
[12:49] Izumida
    Go win the mountain stage.
[12:51] Izumida
    Go, Manami.
[12:53] Manami
    Yes, sir.
[12:56] Manami
    The weather's great today.
[12:59] Manami
    These kinds of days are the
    most fun for climbing hills.
[13:03] Kuroda
    Hey, Manami. Don't be so relaxed.
[13:06] Kuroda
    The other climbers are already climbing.
[13:08] Manami
    Don't worry, Kuroda-san.
[13:10] Manami
    I'll go enjoy the hill.
[13:14] Kuroda
    Strangely enough,
    he's managed to hone his skills.
[13:17] Izumida
    Go, Manami.
[13:19] Izumida
    Pass the climbers in front of you.
[13:21] Izumida
    If things go well,
    take the first day's finish line.
[13:25] Naruko
    Are you for real?
[13:26] Teshima
    Yes, for real.
[13:28] Teshima
    Without Onoda, we don't have a choice.
[13:30] Izumida
    Who will Sohoku High School send?
[13:33] Izumida
    You can't be serious.
[13:34] Izumida
    You're challenging the mountains?
[13:36] Izumida
    Sorry to be rude, but I don't think
     you have a climber's ability or instinct.
[13:39] Teshima
    Yeah, that's why I'll climb with hard work!
[13:48] Fan
    Hakone's making its move!
[13:49] Fan
    The first day's mountain race has begun!
[13:52] Fan
    It's last year's second place finisher,
    second-year Manami Sangaku!
[13:57] Fan
    Sohoku High School's coming, too!
[13:59] Fan
    Is it Onoda?
[14:03] Fan
    What? It's not Onoda.
[14:05] Fan
    I'm kind of disappointed.
[14:07] Fan
    I came to see last year's champion race.
[14:09] Fan
    Is he holding back?
[14:10] Fan
    No, look at that.
[14:11] Fan
    Onoda's not with Sohoku High School?
[14:13] Fan
    Is he having problems?
[14:15] Fan
    Number 5, Teshima Junta.
[14:17] Fan
    He seemed pretty ordinary.
[14:19] Izumida
    Abs!
[14:23] Izumida
    Excuse me.
[14:25] Izumida
    I mustn't laugh.
[14:28] Izumida
    I feel sorry for you.
[14:29] Izumida
    Your captain, Teshima-kun, became emotional.
[14:32] Izumida
    He lost Onoda Sakamichi, the man he meant
    to send, when he was swallowed by the pack.
[14:36] Izumida
    He felt responsible.
[14:38] Izumida
    He lost his #1 due to his own mistake.
[14:41] Izumida
    Isn't that right?
[14:44] Izumida
    But I can't believe he sent himself.
[14:49] Izumida
    Imaizumi-kun, shouldn't you have gone?
[14:53] Izumida
    I can tell from watching him so far.
[14:55] Izumida
    He's smart, but he's an unexceptional rider.
[14:58] Izumida
    Climb with hard work?
[15:00] Izumida
    No, let me be blunt.
[15:02] Izumida
    He doesn't stand a chance...
[15:05] Izumida
    ...against our Manami.
[15:11] Imaizumi
    Let me say my piece, too.
[15:14] Imaizumi
    For the past year, he's been
    working hard every time I saw him.
[15:23] Teshima
    You think I'm reckless, Izumida?
[15:25] Teshima
    Would you stop me, Imaizumi?
[15:28] Teshima
    Would you say I don't stand a chance, Naruko?
[15:32] Teshima
    I don't blame them. I'm not special.
[15:35] Teshima
    On top of that, we're at the Inter-High.
[15:37] Teshima
    It's the glorious mountain stage.
[15:39] Teshima
    I know this isn't my job.
[15:42] Teshima
    But I...
[15:45] (Flashback) Makishima
    Teshima, you're a climber.
[15:48] Teshima
    I was told to climb.
[15:50] Teshima
    I was told to put one foot
    in front of the other.
[15:54] Teshima
    I don't have any special abilities.
    I can't leap ahead.
[15:58] Teshima
    Honestly, once upon a time,
    I wanted to be like that.
[16:02] Teshima
    But I'll show you, one step at a time...
[16:04] Teshima
    the ordinary way I ride along the ground.
[16:09] Fan
    Sohoku High School caught up to
    Hakone Academy High School's Manami!
[16:12] Fan
    It's #5!
[16:13] Fan
    Who's #5?
[16:15] Manami
    You're Sakamichi-kun's senpai.
[16:17] Teshima
    Hey. I saw your amazing race to the
    finish last year, Manami Sangaku.
[16:23] Teshima
    Let's ride to the peak together,
    since we have the chance.
[16:28] Manami
    I hate to waste an opportunity...
[16:31] Manami
    But I'm in a bit of a hurry.
[16:33] Manami
    I was told to win the mountain stage.
[16:37] Teshima
    His acceleration is amazing.
[16:39] Teshima
    It's totally different seeing it up close.
[16:41] Teshima
    He's fast, but...
[16:45] Teshima
    I'll catch him!
[16:51] Teshima
    Let's ride together.
[16:53] Manami
    Wow, you caught up.
[16:55] Manami
    You're better than I thought.
[16:57] Teshima
    I'm still your elder.
[16:59] Teshima
    Show some respect and ride slower.
[17:02] Teshima
    He's not using the wings I've heard about.
[17:06] Teshima
    Does that mean he can go even faster?
[17:09] Manami
    I still don't see the
    climbers in front of us.
[17:12] Teshima
    We haven't even entered Irohazaka yet.
[17:15] Teshima
    Climbing is hard, Makishima-san.
[17:19] Manami
    Ah, found one.
SIGN    Inter-High Road Race
[17:30] Fan
    It's Hakone Academy High School
    and Sohoku High School!
SIGN    Manami-sama
[17:37] Fan
    He's so cool!
[17:40] Manami
    Hello.
[17:46] Teshima
    This is Manami Sangaku.
[17:48] Teshima
    He climbs as though inclines
    are nothing to him.
[17:51] Teshima
    We've already passed five of the
    climbers who were riding ahead of us.
[17:54] (Flashback) Rider
    Whoa, it's Manami!
[17:55] (Flashback) Rider
    Sohoku High School!
[17:57] Teshima
    He's fast. He's horrifyingly fast.
[18:00] Teshima
    And he's smiling.
[18:02] Teshima
    I can barely keep up.
[18:06] Fan
    Sohoku High School's #5...
[18:08] Fan
    He really seemed to be struggling.
SIGN    Irohazaka Map
[18:12] Teshima
    Please, Manami Sangaku.
[18:15] Teshima
    Don't ride as hard as you can yet.
[18:17] Fan
    They're entering Irohazaka!
[18:18] Teshima
    We just made it to the entrance of Irohazaka.
[18:18] Fan
    It's Hakone Academy High School's Manami!
[18:20] Fan
    There's one Sohoku High School
     rider following him!
[18:22] Manami
    Huh? You're amazing.
[18:25] Manami
    You're keeping up with me,
    Sakamichi-kun's senpai.
[18:28] Manami
    Was your name Kojima-san?
[18:29] Teshima
    It's Teshima.
[18:31] Teshima
    I'm wearing a Sohoku High School jersey, too.
[18:34] Teshima
    It won't be that easy to—
[18:36] Manami
    Do you like slopes?
[18:39] Teshima
    Not particularly.
[18:40] Manami
    Really?
[18:41] Manami
    Then you don't need to keep up.
[18:44] Manami
    You won't make any progress
    doing something you don't like.
[18:47] Teshima
    Don't say that so casually.
[18:49] Teshima
    My situation doesn't allow for that.
[18:53] Manami
    At school, there's a class rep
    who's always getting mad at me.
[18:57] Manami
    She wears half-moon glasses.
[18:59] Manami
    She told me to stop coming late and do
    my homework since I'm a second-year now.
[19:04] Manami
    She hates bugs,
[19:05] Manami
    but she comes to cheer the team on at
    these courses in the middle of nature.
[19:10] Manami
    When I asked if she likes
    road races, she said...
[19:12] (Flashback) Girl
    Not really.
[19:13] (Flashback) Girl
    I don't particularly like bicycles.
[19:18] Manami
    Can you believe it?
[19:19] Manami
    But she's coming again this year.
[19:22] (Flashback) Girl
    Well, it's close enough
    that I can take the train.
[19:25] Manami
    People are so strange, aren't they?
[19:28] Teshima
    Maybe.
[19:30] Teshima
    I'm wondering why I'm chasing after first-rate
     Hakone Academy High School climber
[19:37] Teshima
    Manami Sangaku with such
    an elevated heart rate.
[19:39] Teshima
    But I always arrive at the same answer.
[19:43] Manami
    Ah, found another one.
[19:47] Teshima
    You idiot!
[19:48] Teshima
    I wasn't finished talking!
[19:51] Teshima
    Is this Manami's full acceleration?
[19:53] Teshima
    He's fast. The timing's totally different.
[19:56] Teshima
    I can feel how much stronger he is,
    but don't give up now, Teshima Junta!
[20:03] Rider
    Manami!
[20:04] Rider
    The man who inherited tag #3 from
    Hakone Academy High School's Mountain God.
[20:09] Rider
    You won't pass me.
[20:10] Rider
    I'm Shizuoka Fujigawa High School's Daikanji.
[20:12] Rider
    My home turf is Mt. Fuji.
[20:15] Rider
    He's unbelievable. He passed me so easily.
[20:18] Rider
    Sohoku High School, too?
[20:19] Rider
    What? Number 5?
[20:21] Rider
    That's their captain, Teshima.
[20:22] Rider
    I thought he was their leader.
[20:25] Rider
    Why's he chasing after Hakone by himself?
[20:28] Rider
    Huh? Teshima wasn't in the race last year.
[20:31] Rider
    He's making his first
    appearance as a third-year?
[20:33] Rider
    And he's chasing after him?
[20:37] Rider
    Hakone Academy High School's Manami?
[20:39] Rider
    That's impossible. There's no way.
[20:42] Rider
    It's reckless, no matter how you look at it.
[20:49] Manami
    Wow. You're amazing, Teshima-san.
[20:52] Manami
    You kept up with that.
[20:54] Manami
    But are you sure you
    should be riding so fast?
[20:58] Manami
    Irohazaka has a long ways to go.
[21:00] Manami
    And there are still riders in front of us.
[21:13] Manami
    What? In front of me?
[21:15] Teshima
    Don't worry... about me.
[21:18] Teshima
    I'm Sohoku High School's captain,
    third-year Teshima Junta.
[21:22] Teshima
    People laugh at me all the
    time for being ordinary.
[21:26] Teshima
    Racing and exhausting you,
    Hakone Academy High School's ace climber,
[21:30] Teshima
    and winning the Inter-High's
    mountain stage is my job!
[21:38] Manami
    I'm starting to get interested.
[21:48] Sakamichi
    Teshima-san is on the board!
[23:24] Kuroda
    He's so cold when I don't have food.
[23:26] Manami
    Kuroda-san!
[23:28] Kuroda
    Oh, Manami.
[23:29] Manami
    Hey, it's a cat.
[23:33] Manami
    Wow.
[23:34] Kuroda
    Why?
[23:35] Manami
    You're so cute.
