SIGN    Their Last Sprint
[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

    The two lead riders have come into view.
[06:23] Announce
    It's Hakone Academy and Sohoku High School.

    Who will pass through the goal gate first?

[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.

    Such brilliant dancing!

    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!

[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.

    Me, too.

    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.

    "You did well. You're both winners."
