    The finish line...
[00:05] Sakamichi
    Soon someone will be crowned
[00:08] Sakamichi
    the winner of the Inter-High's second day.
[00:11] Sakamichi
    It's the last few meters.
[00:13] Sakamichi
    But it's the hardest few meters of all.
[00:17] Sakamichi
    You can do it, Imaizumi-kun!
[00:21] Imaizumi
    You can go faster, Imaizumi Shunsuke!
[00:24] Imaizumi
    Surpass your limits!
[00:27] Imaizumi
    You just watch.
[00:29] Imaizumi
    I can't give up after carrying the
    jersey entrusted to me this far!
[00:35] Imaizumi
    I'll jam it across the finish line first!
[00:38] Imaizumi
    Until I do, I can't stop pumping
    these legs, even if they fall to pieces!
[00:43] Imaizumi
    Move, Shinkai!
[00:45] Imaizumi
    That's my spot!

    Victory...
[01:21] Midousuji
    Winning...
[01:23] Midousuji
    All that matters is how
    desperate you are to taste it!
[01:29] Midousuji
    You don't need any roundabout reasons to win!
[01:32] Midousuji
    It only matters if you're
    so desperate to win,
[01:34] Midousuji
    you sprout arms from every pore on your body!
[01:38] Midousuji
    If you need it that badly!
[01:43] Fan
    What's with the Kyoto Fushimi
     guy's strange aura?
[01:46] Fan

    Winning a road race
[04:26] Pierre
    that involves riding one hundred, sometimes
     two hundred kilometers in a single day
[04:31] Pierre
    means you overcame obstacles,
    had luck on your side,
[04:35] Pierre
    prepared and devised strategies,
[04:38] Pierre
    and finished the race with a strong will.
[04:43] Pierre
    That's why everyone showers you with praise.
[04:45] Pierre
    They're generous with their applause.

[05:24] Midousuji
    I won this time.
[05:26] Midousuji
    I kept it from escaping, like a firefly.
[05:31] Fan
    He beat Hakone Academy and Sohoku!
[05:35] Fan
    Who called him gross during the race?
[05:38] Fan
    He's awesome!

    A delightful finish! Ultimate victory!

    Gaze upon me!
[05:48] Midousuji
    This... This is...
[05:52] Midousuji
    Today's strongest man, Midousuji Akira-kun!
[05:57] Fan
    What's gotten into him?
[05:59] Fan
    Maybe it's a victory pose...
[06:02] Fan
    I've never seen anything like it!
[06:04] Fan
    He's waving his arms?
[06:06] Fan
    There's nothing normal about him.
[06:09] Fan
    I'm a fan now!

[06:38] Announce
    The fifth place racer is entering
    the final straightaway!
[06:42] Sakamichi
    Midousuji-kun just barely
    won the finish line sprint.
[06:47] Sakamichi
    Imaizumi-kun...
[06:50] Sakamichi
    The atmosphere of the crowd feels strange.
[06:54] Sakamichi
    The air feels heavy.
[06:56] Sakamichi
    They're all excited.
[06:58] Sakamichi
    The crowd's focus is directed
    toward Midousuji-kun's victory.
[07:03] Sakamichi
    They probably expected Hakone Academy to win.
[07:06] Sakamichi
    Since he overcame that,
    they're intoxicated by the upset.
[07:09] Sakamichi
    This is what we did last year.
[07:13] Sakamichi
    The pressure is incredible.
[07:16] Fan
    Last year's dark horse was Sohoku!
[07:18] Fan
    And then Hakone Academy beat them yesterday!
[07:21] Fan
    Maybe this year's dark horse
    will be Kyoto Fushimi!
[07:25] Sakamichi
    What?
[07:26] Sakamichi
    Someone's coming?
[07:28] Sakamichi
    There's 300 meters left. That's...
[07:31] Sakamichi
    Kyoto Fushimi #112, Captain Mizuta-san!
[07:34] Mizuta
    I heard them announce our team's victory!
[07:38] Mizuta
    Victory for Kyoto Fushimi,
    the team I'm the captain of!
[07:41] Mizuta
    The news restored my energy!
[07:46] Mizuta
    I'm passing the Mountain King!
[07:49] (Flashback) Teshima
    Listen closely, Onoda.
[07:51] (Flashback) Teshima
    The Inter-High uses special rules.
[07:53] (Flashback) Teshima
    We start in the order we finish.
[07:55] (Flashback) Teshima
    That day's results affect
    the next day's race.
[07:58] (Flashback) Teshima
    Try to finish as quickly as possible.
[08:00] (Flashback) Teshima
    If you end up racing someone at the
    finish line, don't let them win.
[08:03] Fan
    Mizuta!
[08:04] Fan
    Mizuta!
[08:05] Fan
    Onoda-kun!
[08:05] Fan
    Wow! Kyoto Fushimi, go!

[08:47] Imaizumi
    I'm sorry!
[08:51] Imaizumi
    Because I couldn't stay ahead in the last
    few centimeters, we lost to Kyoto Fushimi.
[08:57] Aya
    Imaizumi-kun, you don't
    need to apologize so—
[09:03] Teshima
    Imaizumi...
[09:04] Imaizumi
    I'm sorry.
[09:06] Imaizumi
    I have no excuse.
[09:07] Imaizumi
    I attacked with 250 meters remaining
    and threw my bike at the end,
[09:12] Imaizumi
    but I failed to reach the finish line.
[09:14] Imaizumi
    It's because I wasn't strong enough!
[09:16] Imaizumi
    I wasn't good enough!
[09:19] Teshima
    Taking the finish line is the ace's job.
[09:22] Teshima
    All of us, including Naruko,
[09:24] Teshima
    rode all out for the finish line.
[09:27] Teshima
    We trusted you.
[09:29] Teshima
    You failed to do your job.
[09:32] Sakamichi
    Teshima-san...
[09:37] Teshima
    That's the logic, anyway.
[09:40] Teshima
    But the ace can't win every time.
[09:43] Teshima
    We fully trusted you.
[09:45] Teshima
    You rode as hard as you could.
[09:47] Teshima
    If you still couldn't win, then so it goes.
[09:52] Imaizumi
    But we don't know if
     I rode as hard as I could!
[09:56] Teshima
    Sugimoto told me all about
    how hard you worked.
[10:01] Teshima
    He said it was the best you've ever ridden.
[10:04] Teshima
    That you rode powerfully.
[10:07] Teshima
    In the end, he broke down in tears.
[10:10] Teshima
    If it was enough to make him cry, the way
     you rode could be nothing if not all out.
[10:16] Teshima
    Right?
[10:19] Teshima
    The results are disappointing,
[10:20] Teshima
    but we should feel relieved that everyone
    survived and finished in one piece.
[10:25] Imaizumi
    Sugimoto...
[10:27] Aoyagi
    There's still tomorrow.
[10:29] Aoyagi
    We have another chance.
[10:35] Kaburagi
    Uh, you know what they say.
[10:37] Kaburagi
    "Go to hell."
[10:38] Kaburagi
    Rise up from the depths of hell.
[10:42] Aoyagi
    You just told him to go to hell.
[10:45] Kaburagi
    Seriously?
[10:48] Imaizumi
    Naruko...
[10:50] Naruko
    You're weak.
[10:53] Naruko
    Show off, show off, and show off...
[10:55] Naruko
    Show off until you can't anymore.
[10:57] Naruko
    The hotshot I know is cooler
    and haughtier than this.
[11:06] Naruko
    The second day was exhausting!
[11:08] Teshima
    It was hard.
[11:09] Teshima
    It was a long stage.
[11:10] Danchiku
    It really was a close race for the finish.
[11:13] Kaburagi
    If you thought so, then it must've been.
[11:16] Imaizumi
    Naruko.
[11:18] Announce
    Winners, please come to the stage.

[11:33] Announce
    The winner of the Inter-High's

    Let's ask him how he's feeling right now.
[11:54] Midousuji
    Hello, everyone.
[11:56] Midousuji
    My name is Midousuji Akira.
[11:59] Fan
    He's a funny guy.
[12:00] Fan
    He said hello.
[12:02] Midousuji
    I have one thing to say about today's race.
[12:07] Midousuji
    Gross!
[12:09] Fan
    Huh?
[12:10] Midousuji
    Oh, excuse me.
[12:12] Midousuji
    There was something wrong with the mic.
[12:16] Midousuji
    Today I was involved in a
    very close race at the end.
[12:20] Midousuji
    I was able to keep racing until
    the end because of the fans,
[12:24] Midousuji
    my teammates, the support staff, and...
[12:28] Midousuji
    Because I had these two strong, strong rivals.
[12:32] Midousuji
    Because I had rivals.
[12:35] Midousuji
    They're lizards.
[12:37] Fan
    Li...
[12:38] Fan
    Did he say lizards?
[12:39] Midousuji
    Like lizards that crawl around and
    are quick to hide under rocks.
[12:45] Midousuji
    Because these imbeciles on either side
    of me rode without courage or strength...
[12:53] Midousuji
    I was able to win.
[12:57] Midousuji
    Gross!
[12:59] Midousuji
    Gross, gross, gross, gross,
    gross, gross, gross, gross!
[13:04] Midousuji
    What's wrong?
[13:06] Midousuji
    You look nonchalant. And you look so formal.
[13:10] Midousuji
    You look like you're not frustrated.
[13:13] Midousuji
    Your fans are disappointed.
[13:15] Midousuji
    You've got to show them a
    greater variety of expressions.
[13:18] Midousuji
    Are you trying to show off?
[13:20] Midousuji
    Aren't you actually
    seething with frustration?
[13:22] Midousuji
    Don't you wish you could do it
    over if you had a time machine?
[13:28] Midousuji
    But too bad!
[13:32] Midousuji
    You lost!
[13:35] Midousuji
    There's no price you can
    pay to change the results!
[13:40] Midousuji
    They just barely lost.
[13:42] Midousuji
    But in road racing, it doesn't
    matter how close you were.
[13:47] Midousuji
    It's not the difference, but the rank!
[13:49] Midousuji
    One kilometer, ten kilometers,
    a few centimeters... It's all the same!
[13:53] Midousuji
    Road racing is win or lose!
[13:55] Midousuji
    Topography! Strategy! Resourcefulness!
    Will! Strength! Decision-making ability!
[14:00] Midousuji
    In every way, I was far
    superior to these pests!
[14:07] Midousuji
    I proved that of all the
     people who raced today,
[14:13] Midousuji
    I was the most right!
[14:18] Fan
    No, he's right.
[14:20] Fan
    Winning proves that.
[14:22] Fan
    He's so unconventional!
[14:24] Fan
    He's overcome Hakone Academy!
[14:26] Fan
    The champs have been replaced.
[14:28] Fan
    No, he's not a champion.
[14:30] Fan
    He's a ruler!
[14:31] Fan
    He beat back Hakone Academy's steady advance
    and beat last year's winners, Sohoku!
[14:37] Fan
    All by himself, too!
[14:39] Fan
    He's the ruler of the race, Midousuji Akira!
[14:42] Fan
    Midousuji!
[14:43] Fan
    Kyoto Fushimi!
[14:46] Midousuji
    People are weak.
[14:47] Midousuji
    That's why they look up to the strong.
[14:51] Midousuji
    With a victorious cry,
    I swayed the crowd to my side.
[14:58] Midousuji
    Tomorrow is the last day.
[15:00] Midousuji
    Tomorrow's race should
    be even more interesting.
[15:04] Announce
    The sprint and mountain awards
    will be handed out next.
[15:10] Teshima
    Loss, huh?
[15:12] Teshima
    Either way, tomorrow is our last race.
[15:15] Teshima
    We'll have to face off against
    the guys standing on that stage.
[15:19] Aoyagi
    Yeah.
[15:20] Teshima
    And it'll be our last race together, Hajime.
[15:26] Teshima
    We third-years are retiring after this race.
[15:30] Aoyagi
    Yeah, Junta.
[15:32] Teshima
    Will you keep me from trembling tomorrow, too?
[15:34] Aoyagi
    Yeah, I will.
[15:36] Teshima
    You will pull me across the flats?
[15:38] Aoyagi
    Yeah, I'll pull you at 100% speed.
[15:41] Teshima
    That's good to hear.
[15:44] Teshima
    You know, I've been thinking...
[15:47] Teshima
    I have a small wish.
[15:48] Teshima
    I'm hoping that during tomorrow's
    race at the Inter-High,
[15:53] Teshima
    we can sync up our movements and breathing
[15:57] Teshima
    and do our Synchronized Straight Twin.
[16:09] Aoyagi
    I'm okay. It's nothing.
[16:13] Aoyagi
    I just tripped.
[16:17] Aoyagi
    I'm tired from today's race.
[16:19] Aoyagi
    I'll be fine after some rest.
[16:24] Aya
    You're doing more laundry, Miki?
[16:27] Miki
    Yeah. I just have this and
    this and this, Aya-chan.
[16:30] Aya
    Why are you smiling?
[16:33] Teshima
    I never thought I was doing
    it alone, but I was arrogant.
[16:39] Teshima
    I thought I just had to do my best.
[16:42] Teshima
    That he would help me.
[16:46] Teshima
    Somewhere in my mind, I thought that.
[16:49] Teshima
    I hid behind my weakness.
[16:53] Teshima
    Like he has until now.
[16:56] Teshima
    Like he did today.
[16:59] Teshima
    I thought he'd do something.
[17:03] Teshima
    I'm an idiot. I relied on him too much.
[17:06] Teshima
    I assumed he was tough.
[17:08] Teshima
    I assumed he'd always be by my side.
[17:10] (Flashback) Aoyagi
    I'm okay. It's nothing.
[17:14] Teshima
    Of course it's not "nothing"!
[17:16] Teshima
    But I told him my dream.
[17:22] Teshima
    Aoyagi, are you hurting?
[17:25] Teshima
    What about tomorrow's race?
[17:36] Aoyagi
    Junta...
[17:38] Aoyagi
    Thanks for telling me your dream.
[17:41] Aoyagi
    I always worry about the
    things I couldn't do.
[17:45] Aoyagi
    That's why your cheerfulness saves me.
[17:49] Aoyagi
    You always tell me about
    miracles, hopes, and dreams.
[17:53] Aoyagi
    Because of the visions you show me,
[17:56] Aoyagi
    I'm able to move forward, Junta.
[18:01] Aoyagi
    I pushed myself too hard.
[18:03] Aoyagi
    The pain's getting worse.
[18:06] Aoyagi
    I don't have a choice.
[18:07] Aoyagi
    I'll have to rely on someone.
[18:09] Aoyagi
    An experienced first-year...
[18:12] Aoyagi
    Kaburagi? No...
[18:15] Aoyagi
    What? You're injured?
[18:17] Aoyagi
    Danchiku, I'm going to ride tomorrow.
[18:20] Aoyagi
    So I need you to get some things for me.
[18:23] Danchiku
    Yes, sir.
[18:24] Aoyagi
    All the tape, supports, ice,
    and painkillers we have.
[18:30] Aoyagi
    I need you to tape me up
    and massage me in my room.
[18:33] Aoyagi
    And don't tell anyone about this.
[18:37] Aoyagi
    Not even Kaburagi.
[18:38] Aoyagi
    We don't need to make them worry.
[18:41] Danchiku
    Yes, sir.
[18:44] Naruko
    What are you up to, Onoda-kun?
[18:46] Sakamichi
    Naruko-kun.
[18:47] Naruko
    You're riding after your bath?
[18:50] Sakamichi
    Yeah.
[18:52] Sakamichi
    Toji-san swapped my gears out for some
    lighter climbing ones for tomorrow's race.
[18:56] Sakamichi
    I thought I'd test them out.
[18:59] Naruko
    Really?
[19:00] Sakamichi
    But that's not the only reason.
[19:03] Sakamichi
    Tomorrow's the last day
    of this year's Inter-High.
[19:06] Sakamichi
    When I think about it, I can't relax.
[19:09] Sakamichi
    I feel excited and restless.
[19:12] Sakamichi
    I feel like I still have things left undone.
[19:15] Sakamichi
    I thought riding my bike would help me relax.
[19:20] Naruko
    Sounds like you.
[19:22] Naruko
    But what sounds even more like you is
    listening to a Whatever Hime CD on repeat.
SIGN    Love Hime
[19:30] Sakamichi
    That would work, too!
[19:32] Sakamichi
    Which should I do?
[19:33] Naruko
    You've already got your bike out.
[19:35] Naruko
    Go for a ride.
[19:36] Sakamichi
    Okay. I'll be back soon.
[19:42] Sakamichi
    I'm nervous.
[19:45] Sakamichi
    Tomorrow's the last race.
[19:48] Sakamichi
    Everyone's done their best this past year.
[19:51] Sakamichi
    They've worked really hard.
[19:53] Sakamichi
    But as of right now,
[19:55] Sakamichi
    Sohoku hasn't won a single
    number tag at this Inter-High.
[20:00] Sakamichi
    Imaizumi-kun did his best at the
    finish line today, but he didn't win.
[20:06] Sakamichi
    Tomorrow's the last day.
[20:08] Sakamichi
    I have to work hard on the third day.
[20:11] Sakamichi
    Since I won last year, they probably
    expect me to win this year.
[20:16] Sakamichi
    I wonder if I can.
[20:18] Sakamichi
    No, I shouldn't think that!
[20:21] Sakamichi
    I won't be able to relax!
[20:24] Sakamichi
    But last year, I had Makishima-san.
[20:28] (Flashback) Makishima
    Enjoy the tension for now.
[20:31] (Flashback) Makishima
    They're motivating us
    more than you might expect.
[20:35] (Flashback) Makishima
    You have to think of ways
[20:37] (Flashback) Makishima
    to turn the situation around.
[20:39] Sakamichi
    No, what am I thinking?
[20:42] Sakamichi
    Aoyagi-san said it's different this year.
[20:44] Sakamichi
    I'm stronger now.
[20:46] Sakamichi
    I'll sing the Love Hime song.
[20:49] Sakamichi
    I've always felt these hidden feelings—
[20:55] Sakamichi
    Huh? A bike?
[20:57] Sakamichi
    Who's riding this late at
    night on this narrow pass?
[21:02] Sakamichi
    I've seen that form before.
[21:05] Sakamichi
    He's fast.
[21:06] Sakamichi
    And silent.
[21:10] Sakamichi
    He's climbing silently, like he's on rails.
[21:14] Sakamichi
    So quietly that it puts
    even the forest to sleep.
[21:17] Sakamichi
    The Sleeping Climb!
[21:19] Sakamichi
    It must be him.
[21:21] Sakamichi
    The man who brought excitement to the
    mountains at last year's Inter-High...
[21:25] Sakamichi
    Hakone Academy's Mountain God, Toudou-san!
[21:27] Toudou
    Well, if isn't four-eyes.
[23:02] Sakamichi
    Princess, Princess!
[23:04] Sakamichi
    I love, love, love you!
[23:06] Sakamichi
    Princess! Princess!
[23:07] Naruko
    Hearing this song gives me strength.
[23:08] Sakamichi
    Twinkle, twinkle!
[23:09] Kaburagi
    Jeez! Please don't sing that song!
[23:12] Aoyagi
    You're not going to sing?
[23:13] Kaburagi
    No way!
[23:15] Kaburagi
    I had no choice before, when it
     was a command from God...
[23:18] Kaburagi
    Teshima-san, please put a stop to this!
[23:20] Both
    Princess, Princess!
[23:21] Kaburagi
    Hey!
[23:22] Danchiku
    Princess, Princess...
[23:24] Kaburagi
    Danchiku...
[23:25] Sakamichi
    Today, we'll sing the medley!
[23:27] Sakamichi
    I've always felt these hidden feelings!
[23:32] Sakamichi
    You'll always be my princess!
[23:33] All
    Huh?
[23:34] Imaizumi
    Ta-ta-ta-tan!
[23:35] All
    What?!
