**[00:07] Miki**
Morning has arrived.
**[00:09] Miki**
The refreshing morning of the highlands...
**[00:15] Miki**
The final morning.
**[00:24] Miki**
Sorry, Aya-chan.
**[00:25] Miki**
Did you turn off my alarm?
**[00:32] Miki**
Aya-chan, it's time.
**[00:34] Aya**
I know. I'm getting up.
**[00:38] Aya**
But first, three more minutes.
**[00:40] Miki**
No.
**[00:42] Miki**
It's their second Inter-High.
**[00:45] Miki**
Everyone's trained as hard as they can.
**[00:48] Miki**
They didn't waste even a second.
**[00:52] Miki**
New students joined the club.
They became second-years.
**[00:56] Miki**
Summer came. They went through
some difficult times.
**[01:00] Miki**
They've gotten so much stronger.
**[01:03] Miki**
They were strong during the race.
**[01:06] Miki**
But at this year's Inter-High, they still
haven't won a single colored number tag.
**[01:12] Miki**
Today is the final race.
**[01:14] Miki**
The final day of their
Inter-High as second-years.
**[01:18] Miki**
I hope their final wish comes true.
**[01:21] Miki**
All I can do is cheer them on
and support them, but...
**[01:27] Miki**
Good luck, Team Sohoku!

They're here!
**[03:14] Fan**
They've arrived!
**[03:15] Fan**
The champions, Hakone Academy!
**[03:17] Fan**
Hakone Academy!
**[03:18] Fan**
Win today's race, too!
**[03:20] Fan**
Hakone Academy!
**[03:22] Reporter**
Izumida-kun, yesterday's race was close.
**[03:25] Reporter**
But Hakone Academy was the only team
to send two riders to the finish line.
**[03:29] Reporter**
You were in perfect form.
**[03:31] Izumida**
Yes.
**[03:32] Reporter**
It's too bad you failed to
get all three number tags.
**[03:35] Reporter**
Do you think you'll do it today?
**[03:36] Izumida**
The overall winner of the Inter-High
will be decided at today's finish line.
**[03:40] Izumida**
If there are teams hoping to win the
sprint or mountain line, let them know
**[03:45] Izumida**
that they can have them.
**[03:48] Izumida**
Hakone Academy will be competing only for the
final finish line and its yellow number tag.
**[03:58] Reporter**
Only the finish line?
**[04:00] Reporter**
Hakone Academy's putting their
efforts toward it from the start.
**[04:04] Reporter**
Taking the finish line and
reclaiming of their throne.
**[04:08] Izumida**
We'll give up everything today, Yuki.
**[04:12] Kuroda**
Give up everything?
**[04:14] Kuroda**
Touichirou, does that mean you...
**[04:17] Izumida**
It's my final job as team captain, Yuki.
**[04:21] Kuroda**
Touichirou...
**[04:23] Izumida**
We are...
**[04:24] Kuroda**
Yeah.
**[04:26] Izumida**
...strong!
**[04:27] Kuroda**
For sure!
**[04:29] Doubashi**
We have to win.
**[04:37] Ashikiba**
Manami's late.
**[04:44] Manami**
I overslept.
***SIGN*** Chiba Sohoku High School
**[04:51] Teshima**
Let's go, Sohoku!
**[04:58] Teshima**
This is the end. We made it to the final day.
**[05:01] Teshima**
The six of us. We all made it together.
**[05:03] Teshima**
Naruko!
**[05:04] Naruko**
Yeah!
**[05:05] Teshima**
Imaizumi!

Yes, sir!

Kaburagi!
**[05:09] Kaburagi**
Yes, sir!
**[05:10] Teshima**
And Aoyagi!
**[05:13] Teshima**
Do you believe in miracles?
**[05:17] Teshima**
Today's our last chance to set off
everything we've built up.
**[05:23] Teshima**
Even if we give everything we've got
and collapse at the finish line,
**[05:26] Teshima**
our faith in miracles will take us there.
**[05:28] Teshima**
We'll keep our faith alive.
**[05:32] Teshima**
If one of us ends up in a race of
centimeters before the final finish line...
**[05:35] Teshima**
That faith will push him across it!
**[05:39] Aoyagi**
Junta!
**[05:40] Kaburagi**
Teshima-san!
**[05:42] Naruko**
Of course.
**[05:44] Sakamichi**
Teshima-san!
**[05:46] Teshima**
Let's go! This is our last race!
**[05:49] Teshima**
Sohoku!
**[05:50] Teshima**
Fight!
**[05:51] All**
Yeah!
**[05:57] Miki**
Give it everything you've
got again this year.
**[06:03] Teshima**
We will.
**[06:04] Imaizumi**
We're counting on your support!
**[06:06] Miki**
Got it!
**[06:07] Sakamichi**
Thank you!
**[06:10] Naruko**
We'll be back.
**[06:11] Kaburagi**
Thanks!
**[06:13] Miki**
Aoyagi-san...
**[06:15] Miki**
Are your legs okay?
**[06:19] Aoyagi**
You noticed.
**[06:22] Miki**
I am the team's manager.
**[06:24] Miki**
Don't push yourself too hard during the race.
**[06:27] Miki**
Though I doubt you can't.
**[06:30] Miki**
All the braces and painkillers in
the first-aid box were missing.
**[06:34] Aoyagi**
I had no choice.
**[06:36] Aoyagi**
I still have a job left to do.
**[06:42] Aoyagi**
You don't need to worry.
**[06:44] Aoyagi**
I'm standing at the final stage of
the Inter-High wearing the jersey
**[06:47] Aoyagi**
I've admired for three years.
**[06:50] Aoyagi**
That's enough for me.
**[06:53] Aoyagi**
All of my wishes have already come true.

We're rooting for you this year, too!
**[07:12] Fan**
I've never seen a first-year start
first for Hakone Academy before!
**[07:16] Fan**
At the Inter-High, they start in the
order they finished on the previous day.
**[07:19] Fan**
Isn't that the younger brother
of last year's #4, Shinkai?
**[07:23] Fan**
Damn! He seems strong!
**[07:25] Fan**
Ready, and...

We hope you take first again this year!

Onoda-kun, you can do it!
**[07:39] Sakamichi**
I can't, I can't, I can't,
I can't, I can't...
**[07:40] Fan**
He's so cute!
**[07:41] Fan**
He's embarrassed!
**[07:42] Sakamichi**
Please don't set your expectations that high.
**[07:44] Imaizumi**
You can't? What's wrong with you?
**[07:46] Sakamichi**
I can't, I can't, I can't...
**[07:49] Fan**
He fell!
**[07:50] Fan**
Look! Sohoku fell!
**[07:52] Fan**
He fell before the race started!
**[07:54] Imaizumi**
It feels like you do the
same thing every year.
**[07:57] Sakamichi**
S-Sorry.
**[07:58] Fan**
The way he gets up is so cute!
**[08:00] Imaizumi**
There's no getting through to them.
**[08:03] Imaizumi**
Just ignore them.
**[08:04] Sakamichi**
What? But I'd feel bad.
**[08:14] Teshima**
My heart won't stop pounding.
**[08:16] Teshima**
This is crazy. It's my third and final—
**[08:19] Teshima**
No...
**[08:20] Teshima**
It's because it's my first
and final Inter-High.
**[08:24] Teshima**
I longed to race in the Inter-High.
**[08:30] Teshima**
I fought hard, but failed
to qualify in my second year.
**[08:33] Teshima**
Even after becoming captain in my third year,
**[08:35] Teshima**
I finally earned an Inter-High number
tag only after desperately hanging on.
**[08:43] Teshima**
My legs and arms are shaking.
**[08:46] Teshima**
My heart is so small.
**[08:49] Teshima**
The Inter-High is ending.
**[08:52] Teshima**
My fate and Sohoku's will be decided today.
**[08:58] Teshima**
It's the final day.
**[09:01] Teshima**
Everything I've done and built up
these past three years.
**[09:05] Teshima**
The sky's so bright.
**[09:07] Teshima**
That sky is connected to today's finish line.
**[09:11] Teshima**
The finish line lies beyond it.
**[09:12] Teshima**
But...
**[09:15] Teshima**
I probably won't be able to finish today.
**[09:19] Teshima**
That's fine, though.
**[09:22] Teshima**
As long as someone entrusted
with our jersey makes it...
**[09:25] Teshima**
As long as I can see the finish line
through his eyes, it's fine.
**[09:29] Teshima**
Let's go, Teshima Junta.
**[09:32] Teshima**
I am an ordinary man.
**[09:34] Teshima**
I have no exceptional skill or talent, but...
**[09:37] Teshima**
I've worked hard!
**[09:40] Teshima**
Along with my five teammates,
**[09:44] Teshima**
we'll beat you and Hakone Academy, Shikiba!
**[09:52] Teshima**
Ashikiba...
**[09:55] Ashikiba**
Jun-chan.
**[09:57] Ashikiba**
Bring it on.
**[10:00] Teshima**
What?
**[10:01] Ashikiba**
Huh?
**[10:04] Kuroda**
What's up?
**[10:05] Kuroda**
Who are you talking to, Takuto? Fairies?
**[10:08] Ashikiba**
I thought Jun-chan said something,
so I responded to him.
**[10:13] Kuroda**
He didn't say anything.
**[10:15] Ashikiba**
I see.
**[10:16] Teshima**
Shikiba's amazing.
**[10:19] Teshima**
His senses are honed.
**[10:21] Teshima**
Everyone calls him an airhead,
**[10:23] Teshima**
but during a race, that becomes
an immeasurable power.

**[10:36] Fan**
Anyway, it's been bothering me,

What's missing?

Look at that!

Whoa!

There's no reason to act so surprised.
**[11:06] Midousuji**
We just shed a little weight.
**[11:09] Fan**
The entire Kyoto Fushimi
team shaved their heads!
**[11:13] Midousuji**
Throw it away, throw it away...
**[11:15] Midousuji**
Your useless pride, your useless
celebratory mood, your useless showing off.

With victory right before our eyes...

We must throw everything away!

They won yesterday and are starting first!

I'm racing toward the finish line
at the end of this road.
**[13:57] Sakamichi**
My heart is pounding.
**[13:59] Sakamichi**
I have only my body and legs
to propel myself forward.
**[14:03] Sakamichi**
There's no guarantee I'll
make it there in one piece.

You just told me to go.

Oh, *don't* go.

Kyoto Fushimi's Midousuji is wearing the
previous day's winner's yellow number tag!

That unconventional award
ceremony was the best!

You can do it, Kyoto Fushimi!

Kyoto!
**[16:12] Imaizumi**
Midousuji...
**[16:13] Imaizumi**
He won over the fans with the second day's
victory and his performance.
**[16:18] Imaizumi**
The atmosphere has changed
completely since yesterday.
**[16:21] Fan**
We hope you win again today!
**[16:22] Fan**
You've got this, Kyoto Fushimi!
**[16:24] Imaizumi**
It's harder for us now.
**[16:29] Sakamichi**
You just wait, Imaizumi-kun.
**[16:31] Sakamichi**
Today's course starts by
taking us around the lake.
**[16:35] Sakamichi**
It's not too long, but it's
a fairly long, flat road.
**[16:39] Sakamichi**
I need to catch up here.
**[16:42] Sakamichi**
Around now, at the front...
**[16:57] Ashikiba**
I caught up, Yuto.
**[16:59] Yuto**
That was quick, Ashikiba-san.
**[17:01] Sakamichi**
Third-year and ace Ashikiba-san
and first-year Shinkai Yuto-kun.
**[17:06] Sakamichi**
Against to Hakone Academy's two,
Sohoku has only Imaizumi-kun.
**[17:13] Ashikiba**
How do you feel?
**[17:17] Yuto**
Not bad.
**[17:19] Imaizumi**
Damn.
**[17:21] Imaizumi**
I can't believe yesterday's
results created this situation.
**[17:25] Imaizumi**
Is he here yet?
**[17:26] Imaizumi**
Come quickly, Onoda!
**[17:30] Sakamichi**
I see him. It's Imaizumi-kun!
**[17:33] Sakamichi**
He's still pretty far ahead.
**[17:36] Sakamichi**
But I'll get there!
**[17:40] Mizuta**
What?!
**[17:45] Sakamichi**
I'll definitely catch up.
**[17:48] Sakamichi**
Imaizumi-kun!
**[17:55] Sakamichi**
Since meeting you and learning about the
world of bicycle racing, I've changed.
**[18:04] Sakamichi**
I'd never played a sport before.
**[18:08] Sakamichi**
I met so many people after
joining the bicycle racing club.
**[18:14] Sakamichi**
Kinjou-san taught me how Team Sohoku never
gives up and always supports each other.
**[18:23] (Flashback) Kinjou**
You don't need to try so hard by yourself.
**[18:25] (Flashback) Kinjou**
If you fall, I will support you.
**[18:30] (Flashback) Kinjou**
But if someone else should fall,
you must support them.
**[18:34] (Flashback) Kinjou**
That is Team Sohoku.
**[18:36] (Flashback) Kinjou**
That's how we ride.
**[18:40] Sakamichi**
The strong-willed and determined
Tadokoro-san taught me to ride single-mindedly.
**[18:48] (Flashback) Tadokoro**
I am eternally grateful enough to you.
**[18:53] (Flashback) Tadokoro**
Onoda...
**[18:56] (Flashback) Tadokoro**
Thank you.
**[18:58] (Flashback) Tadokoro**
I didn't think I'd get to see those jerseys
with my own eyes again...
**[19:08] (Flashback) Tadokoro**
I'm back!
**[19:10] (Flashback) Tadokoro**
Team Sohoku!
**[19:13] Sakamichi**
Makishima-san taught me the difficulty,
fun, and coolness of climbing.
**[19:21] (Flashback) Makishima**
I understand...
**[19:23] (Flashback) Makishima**
I'm a climber, too.
**[19:25] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
What?
**[19:27] (Flashback) Makishima**
You just have to ride.
**[19:30] (Flashback) Makishima**
On a bicycle, the more you pedal,
the stronger you'll become.
**[19:35] Sakamichi**
Sugimoto-kun, Koga-san,
Kanzaki-san, and Tachibana-san...
**[19:41] Sakamichi**
They're all important members of Team Sohoku.
**[19:44] Sakamichi**
No, that's not all.
**[19:50] Sakamichi**
Manami-kun and the other
members of Hakone Academy...
**[19:55] Sakamichi**
Midousuji-kun and the rest of Kyoto Fushimi...
**[20:00] Sakamichi**
Everyone riding on this course
right now is so fast and strong,
**[20:07] Sakamichi**
but they're all friends I've met
because I starting cycling.
**[20:22] Sakamichi**
So I'll ride as hard as I can!
**[20:27] Sakamichi**
Teshima-san wore himself
down fighting against
**[20:30] Sakamichi**
Manami-kun and sent us his
passionate vibrations.
**[20:37] Sakamichi**
Naruko-kun pursued Hakone
Academy and Kyoto Fushimi,
**[20:41] Sakamichi**
and he clung to the lead pack alone
until we could rejoin him.
**[20:48] Sakamichi**
Kaburagi-kun pushed himself so hard in a
sprint for the first day's first result
**[20:54] Sakamichi**
that he collapsed after he finished.
**[21:00] Sakamichi**
And when Kaburagi-kun stopped
pedaling on the second day,
**[21:05] Sakamichi**
Aoyagi-san went to get him and
brought him back to the team.
**[21:16] Sakamichi**
For all those people!
**[21:18] Sakamichi**
For Team Sohoku, I ride!
**[21:31] Sakamichi**
Just you wait, Imaizumi-kun!
**[21:39] Imaizumi**
Onoda!
**[21:41] Sakamichi**
Let's go to the finish line, Imaizumi-kun!
***SIGN*** Yowamushi Pedal
**[21:50] Sakamichi**
I'll pedal as hard as I can!
