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

**[06:21] Announce**
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.
**[16:10] Miki**
Onoda-kun.

**[16:40] Manami**
To the finish line.
**[16:42] Sakamichi**
To the goal gate.
**[17:29] Fan T**
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.
**[17:43] Fan U**
They know how far behind and
on which side the other is.
**[17:50] Fan U**
And their eyes are only looking
at the goal gate at the summit.

**[17:57] Manami**
Distance remaining...
**[17:58] Sakamichi**
...200 meters.
**[18:00] Manami**
I will win.
**[18:01] Sakamichi**
I'll get us there.
**[18:04] Tadokoro**
They're coming, Kinjou.
**[18:06] Tadokoro**
200 meters to go.

Onoda!
**[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...
**[19:02] Manami**
At the Inter-High.
**[19:03] Manami**
Go!
**[19:07] Fan V**
They're neck and neck
at the final 150 meters!
***SIGN*** Inter-High Road Race
**[19:11] Fan W**
But there's a slight incline ahead!
**[19:17] Manami**
An incline!
**[19:18] Sakamichi**
It's changing!
**[19:24] Fan X**
The Mountain King shifted down and
is pedaling at the same cadence!
**[19:28] Fan Y**
He's so fast!
**[19:31] Fan X**
What about Manami?
**[19:35] Fan Y**
What?
**[19:36] Fan X**
He shifted up and is swaying up the hill!
**[19:41] Manami**
Go!
**[19:44] Fan Z**
Such power!
**[19:45] Fan 1**
This year's Hakone Academy is
serious about getting revenge!
**[19:49] Fan 2**
The difference in gears equates
to a difference in speed!
**[19:52] Fan 2**
Now that the change in grade is over,
Manami's one bike's length ahead!
**[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.
**[20:28] Manami**
Soon, our battle will be over.
**[20:31] Fan 3**
100 meters to the finish line!
**[20:39] Fan 4**
They've entered sprinting posture!
**[20:41] Fan 5**
They're sprinting all out to the finish line!
**[20:47] Manami**
I'll break away.
**[20:49] Manami**
I'll break away.
**[20:51] Manami**
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...
**[21:18] Sakamichi**
My teammates have already fulfilled
their purpose and are behind me.
**[21:23] Sakamichi**
I know that, so what is this?
***SIGN*** Inter-High Road Race
**[21:28] Sakamichi**
They're beneath that yellow gate telling me,
**[21:32] Sakamichi**
"What are you doing? Hurry up."
**[21:36] Sakamichi**
"Finish strong."
**[21:42] Sakamichi**
"We're right here."
**[21:45] Sakamichi**
I feel like they're up there cheering me on.
**[21:50] Sakamichi**
Yeah!
**[21:57] Fan 6**
Sohoku's Onoda!
**[21:59] Fan 7**
He caught up to Hakone Academy
at the last second!

Onoda!
**[22:04] Miki**
Onoda-kun!
**[22:05] Koga**
Are you watching, Junta?
**[22:08] Koga**
Before the race he was repeatedly asked
if he'd claim the final finish line.
**[22:15] Koga**
And every time, he told them no.
**[22:19] Koga**
One of the juniors you trusted with the race
**[22:21] Koga**
after you gave up everything is currently...
**[22:25] Koga**
carrying on that will as
he sprints to the finish.
**[22:31] Koga**
Onoda, how would you respond if you
were asked about your confidence now?
**[22:39] Koga**
I don't even need to ask.
**[22:41] Koga**
Every time you're trusted with our
team's jersey, your expression changes.
**[22:45] Koga**
You're a strange man.
**[22:48] Koga**
You become stronger every time
you're asked to do something.
**[22:52] Koga**
Your face is brimming with confidence.
