[01:39] Naruko
Seriously?
[01:41] Teshima
He caught up already.
[01:42] (Flashback) Imaizumi
With a smile, no less.
[01:47] (Flashback) Sakamichi
Thanks for waiting, everyone.
[01:49] (Flashback) Naruko
You're really zoomin'.
[01:51] (Flashback) Teshima
I thought it'd take you a few more minutes.
[01:53] (Flashback) Imaizumi
Just how fast did you climb?
[01:56] (Flashback) Naruko
You even brought Aoyagi-san with you
after he got separated from the team.
[01:59] (Flashback) Imaizumi
He's a sprinter. Don't push
him so hard on a climb.
[02:03] (Flashback) Aoyagi
He's too fast.
[02:04] (Flashback) Sakamichi
Sorry.
[02:06] (Flashback) Imaizumi
You're in great shape, Onoda.
[02:08] (Flashback) Naruko
Somethin' good happen?
[02:11] (Flashback) Sakamichi
Huh? Makishime—
[02:13] (Flashback) Sakamichi
I mean, nothing.
[02:15] Imaizumi
What did you say?
[02:15] Teshima
Onoda...
[02:17] Naruko
Don't hide it.
[02:17] Teshima
He's back. Has he recovered?
[02:19] Sakamichi
It's nothing, really.
[02:22] (Flashback) Naruko
You were about to say somethin'.
[02:24] (Flashback) Teshima
All right.
[02:25] (Flashback) Teshima
Change of plans.
[02:27] (Flashback) Imaizumi
What?
[02:29] (Flashback) Teshima
Originally, I thought everyone could
climb at their own pace, but Onoda...
[02:32] (Flashback) Sakamichi
Yes?
[02:33] (Flashback) Teshima
Do you think you can reach the peak first?
[02:36] (Flashback) Teshima
Let's race.
[02:37] (Flashback) Sakamichi
Huh?
[02:38] (Flashback) Teshima
But there's a condition.
[02:41] (Flashback) Teshima
You have to wait for one minute
at that vending machine.
[02:45] (Flashback) Sakamichi
What?
[02:46] (Flashback) Teshima
You'll be racing against
Imaizumi, Naruko, and me.
SIGN Summit
[02:49] (Flashback) Teshima
Think you can beat us?
[02:52] Sakamichi
One minute. Four kilometers.
[02:59] (Flashback) Sakamichi
Yes, sir. I'll give it a shot.
[03:01] (Flashback) Teshima
The rest of you, don't let
Onoda catch up to you.
[03:07] Teshima
His willingness to give it a
shot is a sign he's recovered.
SIGN Caution: Winding Road
[03:22] (Flashback) Naruko
Seriously?
[03:29] (Flashback) Teshima
You came, Onoda. I'm impressed.
[03:32] (Flashback) Teshima
Think you can pass me?
[03:33] (Flashback) Sakamichi
I will.
[03:38] (Flashback) Teshima
What?
[03:40] (Flashback) Imaizumi
Damn. I let my guard down.
[03:42] (Flashback) Imaizumi
I didn't think he'd come now.
[03:46] (Flashback) Imaizumi
What? Hey, where are you going?
[03:51] (Flashback) Imaizumi
Are you okay?
[03:53] (Flashback) Sakamichi
Sorry.
[03:54] Teshima
He actually did it.
[03:56] Teshima
Those eyes...
[03:58] Teshima
He's definitely made a complete recovery.
[04:02] Teshima
Good, Onoda.
[04:04] Teshima
I'll have to report this to
Kinjou-san right away.
[04:11] Kinjou
And that's how Onoda finally
made it out of the darkness.
[04:16] Kinjou
I didn't realize until then
[04:18] Kinjou
what motivates Onoda to ride.
[04:25] (Flashback) Kinjou
Do you want to win next year's Inter-High?
[04:29] (Flashback) Sakamichi
What? Oh, no. Someone else can win.
[04:35] (Flashback) Sakamichi
I'd be happy just supporting them.
[04:40] Kinjou
At the time, I thought
he was just being modest.
[04:44] Kinjou
But he truly felt that way.
[04:47] Kinjou
Just as he was delighted by a
brief note from Makishima...
[04:52] Kinjou
Just as he jumped onto a bike
he'd never ridden before
[04:55] Kinjou
at the first-year race to
chase after the other two...
[04:59] Kinjou
He doesn't desire victory.
[05:03] Kinjou
Within the team's hierarchy,
he's rather low-ranking.
[05:06] Kinjou
I'm constantly surprised by
his unexpected behavior.
[05:11] Kinjou
To chase after those ahead of him.
[05:14] Kinjou
To connect with his teammates.
[05:17] Kinjou
He rides for those simple reasons.
[05:22] Kinjou
What could be easier to understand?
[05:25] Kinjou
And the way he rides as hard as he can
when he's been trusted with something
[05:32] Kinjou
is the epitome of road racing.
[05:40] Sakamichi
Come on.
[05:42] Sakamichi
Get in there, get in there, get in there!
[05:53] Sakamichi
It's in!
[05:58] Fan A
The Mountain King accelerated!
[05:59] Fan B
He's come around!
[06:01] Fan C
But he can't close the gap!
[06:04] Arakita
I see.
[06:07] Arakita
Then maybe Onoda-chan has what it takes

[06:12] Arakita
to fight for the finish line
at the Inter-High.

The two lead riders have come into view.
[06:23] Announce
It's Hakone Academy and Sohoku High School.
[06:25] Announce
Who will pass through the goal gate first?
[06:30] Fan D
500 meters to go!
[06:31] Fan D
Hakone Academy's Manami
sped by so effortlessly!
[06:35] Manami
I'm going all out until the end of the race.
[06:38] Manami
Go!
[06:41] Fan E
Such brilliant dancing!
[06:44] Fan F
Second-year ace climber,
the Sky Prince, Manami Sangaku, #13!
[06:51] Manami
#13.
[06:54] Manami
Toudou-san, who gave me this number...
[06:58] Manami
Toudou-san, who gave me those
words when I was struggling...
[07:03] Manami
If he could see this situation now...
[07:05] Toudou
A final battle against Four Eyes again?
[07:08] Toudou
You must really enjoy it.
[07:11] Toudou
It must be fate.
[07:15] Manami
I bet he'd tell me that.
[07:18] Manami
And if he were here,
there's only one thing he'd say.
[07:25] Toudou
That's it. Just like that.
[07:31] Toudou
Ride freely, Manami.
[07:36] Manami
Yes, sir. Thank you.
[07:41] Manami
Amazing. I was just thinking about
Toudou-san, and he was actually there.
[07:46] Manami
He truly is the Mountain God.
[07:49] Manami
Normally he's a chatterbox,
but during important moments,
[07:52] Manami
he speaks only a few words of encouragement.
[07:59] Fan G
The Mountain King's got 500 meters to go!
[08:02] Fan H
The size of the gap hasn't changed!
[08:04] Sakamichi
What should I do? I have to close this gap.
[08:08] Sakamichi
What should I do, what should
I do, what should I do?
[08:18] Sakamichi
M... M...
[08:22] Sakamichi
Makishima-san!
[08:25] Makishima
Sakamichi!
[08:27] Sakamichi
He's here. He came to watch the finish.
[08:33] Sakamichi
To watch us.
[08:35] Sakamichi
Makishima-san!
[08:39] Makishima
Why do you always ride so hard?
[08:44] Makishima
Why are you always straight as an arrow?
[08:54] Makishima
Move!
[08:55] Makishima
What am I doing?
[08:56] Makishima
I was planning on calmly
watching him from above,
[09:00] Makishima
so why am I running?
[09:05] Makishima
Out of the way!
[09:07] Makishima
You've always made dreams come true.
[09:11] Makishima
When you won your first-year race...
[09:15] Makishima
When you dropped back to help
Tadokorocchi at the Inter-High...
[09:22] Makishima
When you won...
[09:24] Makishima
You always said the same thing.
[09:27] (Flashback) Sakamichi
Thank you so much.
[09:30] Makishima
I should be thanking you.
[09:34] Makishima
For catching up on
Mt. Hakone at the Inter-High...
[09:38] Makishima
For being a climber to begin with...
[09:41] Makishima
And for all the letters you sent
me since I left for England.
SIGN Dear Brother,
[09:50] Makishima
Not that I'll ever say it to your face.
[09:54] Fan I
What the hell?
[09:56] Fan J
Someone jumped onto the barrier!
[09:58] Fan K
He's leaning so far over!
[10:00] Makishima
I am Makishima Yusuke, the man
who speaks through his bike.
[10:05] Makishima
I'm not clever with words.
[10:07] Makishima
So I'll tell you the words
I once told you on Minegayama.
[10:14] Makishima
Sakamichi!
[10:16] Makishima
I'm always riding with you!
[10:20] Makishima
So pass me, Sakamichi!
[10:27] Sakamichi
Makishima-san...
[10:29] Sakamichi
Yes, sir!
[10:33] Makishima
Back then, you, Imaizumi, and Naruko
wanted to surpass your seniors.
[10:41] Makishima
You were so passionate and focused.
[10:45] Makishima
You even challenged me to a race.
[10:50] Makishima
When you said those words,
I secretly thought you'd grown.
[11:00] Makishima
Go, Sakamichi. I won't ask if you won.
[11:04] Makishima
You've got just over 400 meters to go.
[11:07] Makishima
Whatever strength you've got left...
[11:11] Makishima
Give it all!
[11:15] Makishima
I'm always riding in front of you.
[11:18] Makishima
So pass me.
[11:21] Sakamichi
I've finally realized something.
[11:25] Sakamichi
You're always ahead of me.
[11:27] Sakamichi
I've always imagined I could see the
coolest rider in the world as I rode.
[11:38] Makishima
Can you pass me, Sakamichi?
[11:45] Sakamichi
Yes, sir. Thank you.
[11:53] Sakamichi
Makishima-san, Makishima-san, Makishima-san!
SIGN Sohoku Bicycle Racing Club
[12:01] Sakamichi
One year ago, right after
the Inter-High ended,
[12:07] Sakamichi
we were discussing how we'd like
to surpass the third-years.
[12:13] Sakamichi
In that moment, for the first time in
my life, I wanted to surpass someone.
[12:23] Sakamichi
Makishima-san, it hasn't been all
sunshine and roses since then,
[12:29] Sakamichi
but I think I've gotten closer
to you by practicing really hard.
[12:40] Makishima
What's the matter, Sakamichi?
[12:43] Makishima
Don't hold back.
[12:46] Makishima
Pass me.
[13:03] Sakamichi
Thank you.
[13:10] Makishima
You've gotten stronger, Sakamichi.
SIGN Yowamushi Pedal
[13:25] Fan L
Sohoku's Mountain King is insane!
[13:30] Fan M
He's closing the gap!
[13:34] Fan N
350 meters remain until the
third day's finish line!
[13:39] Fan O
He caught up to the leader,
Hakone Academy's Manami!
[13:47] Manami
You got me. I thought the
race was already over.
[13:53] Manami
Honestly, I thought I had it in the bag.
[13:56] Manami
I thought you'd already
given everything you had.
[13:59] Manami
Where were you hiding that strength?
[14:03] Sakamichi
This strength was given to me by my friends.
[14:12] Sakamichi
By my juniors.
[14:14] Sakamichi
By my seniors.
[14:16] Sakamichi
By all kinds of people.
[14:18] Sakamichi
It was given to me on the way here,
along with all their hopes.
[14:24] Manami
Oh, really? I see.
[14:27] Manami
You mean you're always growing with
help from all kinds of people?
[14:33] Manami
That you're continuously
and endlessly improving?
[14:37] Manami
Sounds like you.
You intrigue me, Sakamichi-kun.
[14:41] Sakamichi
Manami-kun!
[14:44] Manami
Shall we begin?
[14:47] Manami
Our final race.
[14:49] Manami
Our battle to that yellow gate.
[14:52] Manami
There are 300 meters left.
[15:03] Manami
Let's give everything we've got.
[15:06] Manami
I'm going all out.
[15:08] Sakamichi
Me, too.
[15:16] Manami
Sakamichi-kun.
[15:18] Sakamichi
Manami-kun.
[15:19] Sakamichi
This is our final all-out climb!
[15:23] Fan P
They're both accelerating!
[15:25] Fan Q
It's begun!
[15:26] Fan P
Hakone Academy and Sohoku are going all out!
[15:30] Fan R
Whoa, his handlebars are hitting the barrier!
[15:34] Manami
You keep getting stronger.
[15:38] Manami
Honestly, like I said earlier, I thought
the race had already been decided.
[15:43] Manami
But I was also a little sad about it.
[15:47] Manami
It would've been a disappointing end.
[15:50] Manami
I'm glad you caught up.
[15:55] Manami
It would've been a waste otherwise.
[15:57] Manami
We won't get another chance to
push ourselves to the limit.
[16:01] Fan S
They're accelerating towards the finish line!
[16:07] Koga
They're coming.
[16:09] Sugimoto
I see them.

Wow, they're only looking ahead!
[17:34] Fan U
I've heard of this.
[17:36] Fan U
When riders are totally focused,
they can feel where their opponent is.

And their eyes are only looking
at the goal gate at the summit.

[18:11] Kinjou
Road racing is a brutal sport.
[18:15] Kinjou
Though over a hundred riders race
for victory, there is only ever one winner.
[18:23] Kinjou
I wish I could stop both of them,
pat them on the shoulder, and tell them,
[18:28] Kinjou
"You did well. You're both winners."
[18:33] Kinjou
But they know that won't happen.
[18:37] Kinjou
They're prepared for that.
[18:40] Kinjou
After this, one of them will win,
and one of them will lose.
[18:48] Manami
Let's fight to the very last drop.
[18:55] Manami
I'm looking forward to it.
[18:57] Manami
Let's hold nothing back...

is pedaling at the same cadence!

[19:31] Fan X
What about Manami?
[19:35] Fan Y

[19:57] Manami
Keep it up.
[19:59] Manami
I just have to pedal
100 meters to the finish line.
[20:07] Sakamichi
There's a gap.
[20:09] Sakamichi
It's small, but it's huge here.
[20:13] Sakamichi
Everything hurts, but I'm not
giving up yet, Manami-kun!
[20:24] Manami
Sakamichi-kun, we're almost there.

I'll push him aside.
[20:57] Sakamichi
I feel like my heart's going to explode.
[21:00] Sakamichi
My back hurts. My entire body hurts.
[21:04] Sakamichi
I feel like my bones and
muscles are going to shatter.
[21:08] Sakamichi
Everything hurts.
[21:10] Sakamichi
It's strange, though. It's an odd sensation.
[21:14] Sakamichi
Logically, I know...

My teammates have already fulfilled
their purpose and are behind me.
[21:23] Sakamichi
I know that, so what is this?
