[00:03] Rider 1
    Hey, look. It's Hakone Academy.
[00:07] Rider 2
    What is he doing at a Chiba race?
[00:13] Ashikiba
    I hear music.
[00:24] Ashikiba
    It's classical music.
[00:27] Ashikiba
    A thrilling symphony.
[00:29] Ashikiba
    I finally get to be in a race.
[00:37] Ashikiba
    Thank you, Shinkai-san, Fukutomi-san.
[00:42] Rider 1
    He's huge!
[00:44] Rider 2
    He must be at least two meters tall!
[00:47] Ashikiba
    I promise I'll beat Onoda Sakamichi.

[02:38] Fan 2
    I was at Mt. Fuji at the Inter-High!
[02:42] Girls
    Imaizumi-kun!
[02:46] Imaizumi
    A giant banner?
[02:49] Girl 1
    He looked this way!
[02:50] Imaizumi
    What was that?
[02:52] Teshima
    Groupies, huh?
[02:53] Teshima
    Looks like you have more than before.
[02:56] Imaizumi
    Teshima-san!
[02:57] Teshima
    Their support makes us stronger.
[02:59] Imaizumi
    Yeah, but they're taking it too far.
[03:00] Girl 3
    Onoda-kun!
[03:02] Girl 3
    You're so cute!
[03:04] Sakamichi
    Huh? What?
[03:05] Sakamichi
    Thanks!
[03:06] Teshima
    This guy is cute?
[03:09] Imaizumi
    They'll like anyone as long as they win.
[03:12] Teshima
    Onoda!
[03:16] Teshima
    How's the pace?
[03:22] Sakamichi
    I'm fine.
[03:24] Teshima
    Okay.
[03:26] Teshima
    Make sure you keep up.
[03:28] Sakamichi
    Yes, sir.
[03:32] Rider
    What's this? He's huge!
[03:34] Harada
    H-Hey, you're Chiba Minami Middle
    School's Ashikiba, right?
[03:39] Rider 1
    Harada-san, do you know him?
[03:41] Rider 1
    Is Hakone Academy trying to scope us out?
[03:44] Harada
    No.
[03:46] Harada
    He's here to win.
[03:51] Harada
    That's the kind of guy he is!
[03:56] Ashikiba
    Move!
[03:59] Ashikiba
    I have business at the front of the pack!
[04:03] Ashikiba
    I haven't raced in a while!
[04:06] Ashikiba
    I'm in an awesome mood!
[04:11] Rider 1
    He's so fast!
[04:12] Rider 2
    He passed us in a second!
[04:14] Harada
    He rhythmically moves his giant
    body back and forth while dancing.
[04:20] Harada
    Almost as if he's a metronome.
[04:26] Ashikiba
    The Ninth...
[04:28] Ashikiba
    Beethoven's Ninth Symphony.
[04:33] Ashikiba
    Also known as the Choral Symphony.
[04:35] Ashikiba
    I'm so clichéd. It's not
    even the end of the year.
[04:41] Ashikiba
    I'd been placed under house arrest indefinitely.
[04:45] Ashikiba
    But a race... now, I'm riding in a race!
[04:49] Ashikiba
    I will take first place.
[04:52] Ashikiba
    First place...
[04:56] Ashikiba
    ...is righteous!
[05:01] Imaizumi
    Teshima-san, there's something bothering me.
[05:05] Imaizumi
    There's a Hakone Academy second-year
    named Ashikiba riding in the race.
[05:09] Imaizumi
    I saw his name on the participant list.
[05:11] Sakamichi
    What? Hakone Academy?
[05:14] Teshima
    Seems that way.
[05:15] Imaizumi
    You're a second-year, too.
[05:17] Imaizumi
    Do you know him, Teshima-san?
[05:19] Teshima
    Yeah, I know him well.
[05:21] Teshima
    We used to ride on the same team.
[05:26] Ashikiba
    The symphony's playing inside my head.
[05:31] Ashikiba
    I don't know who said it,
    but someone called the way I ride...
[05:32] Rider 3
    He's so fast!
[05:36] Teshima
    He's coming.
[05:38] Ashikiba
    Metronome Dancing!
[05:41] Sakamichi
    Hakone Academy!
[05:43] Imaizumi
    So this is the second-year, Ashikiba.
[05:45] Imaizumi
    He's huge. He's bigger than me!
[05:50] Ashikiba
    I caught up, Sohoku High.
[05:55] Imaizumi
    He's not short of breath,
    even though he rode up from the back.
[05:59] Imaizumi
    And what's with his frame?
[06:03] Imaizumi
    Like shoes, frames are designed
    to match the size of your body.
[06:08] Imaizumi
    But no matter how large the frame gets,
    the size of the tires doesn't change.
[06:13] Imaizumi
    This guy's frame...
[06:16] Imaizumi
    I've never seen anything so huge.
[06:19] Imaizumi
    It makes his tires look smaller.
[06:22] Imaizumi
    It's like he's riding a small-wheeled bike.
[06:26] Ashikiba
    So you're Onoda.
[06:31] Sakamichi
    Yes.
[06:36] Ashikiba
    So you're Onoda.
[06:38] Both
    He corrected himself!
[06:40] Ashikiba
    I've heard about you.
[06:42] Ashikiba
    You'll race up any hill with
    your extraordinary cadence.
[06:47] Sakamichi
    And he's pretending he didn't!
[06:48] Ashikiba
    And you're another first-year...
[06:51] Imaizumi
    Yeah.
[06:52] Ashikiba
    The red bean, Naruko.
[06:56] Sakamichi
    He got it wrong with that
    smug look on his face!
[06:58] Ashikiba
    I've heard about you.
[07:00] Imaizumi
    There's nothing red about me...
[07:00] Ashikiba
    By climbing with your exceptional
    grit and sprinter's legs,
[07:02] Imaizumi
    Can't he tell by looking?
[07:04] Ashikiba
    you caught up to Hakone Academy.
[07:04] Sakamichi
    Imaizumi-kun doesn't seem
    like a bean to me.
[07:06] Ashikiba
    Then you dropped out of the
    race in heroic fashion.
[07:08] Imaizumi
    It's hard to call him out since he's older.
[07:10] Imaizumi
    Maybe this guy's just an airhead?
[07:12] Sakamichi
    I kind of feel bad for him.
[07:15] Imaizumi
    Um, can I offer a correction?
[07:19] Ashikiba
    Huh? Yeah, go ahead.
[07:21] Ashikiba
    No, wait.
[07:23] Ashikiba
    I haven't said anything
    that needs correcting.
[07:26] Sakamichi
    What?
[07:27] Imaizumi
    I can't tell him now!
[07:29] Imaizumi
    Sohoku has another first-year.
[07:32] Sakamichi
    Imaizumi-kun's starting to get mad.
[07:35] Ashikiba
    I know.
[07:37] Ashikiba
    Don't underestimate Hakone
    Academy's information network.
[07:39] Imaizumi
    It's me.
[07:41] Ashikiba
    The silky-haired Sugimoto Terufumi.
[07:44] Imaizumi
    That's right, Sugimoto Teru...
[07:47] Sugimoto
    Hello!
[07:50] Imaizumi
    I worked pretty hard at the Inter-High...
[07:53] Imaizumi
    This is a real shock.
[07:55] Ashikiba
    Did Sohoku not bring all their members?
[07:59] Teshima
    Ashikiba!
[08:02] Teshima
    How have you been?
[08:05] Ashikiba
    Good.
[08:07] Teshima
    Are you still playing the piano?
[08:10] Ashikiba
    Sometimes.
[08:12] Teshima
    I heard you joined Hakone Academy.
[08:15] Ashikiba
    I passed their exam.
[08:18] Teshima
    We used to ride together a lot.
[08:21] Ashikiba
    Yeah.
[08:23] Ashikiba
    Jun-chan...
[08:25] Teshima
    Shikiba...
[08:33] (Flashback) Teshima
    Shikiba, that's amazing.
[08:35] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    Since my fingers are so long,
    they said I'd be good at the piano.
[08:39] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    I can play J-Pop songs, too, like Hira Ken.
[08:41] (Flashback) Teshima
    Seriously?
[08:52] (Flashback) Teshima
    Do you know what a road bike is?
[08:54] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    Yeah, those thin ones.
[08:58] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    Wow.
[09:01] (Flashback) Teshima
    I wanted to try it out after watching a DVD.
[09:06] (Flashback) Teshima
    Shikiba, want to join me?
[09:08] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    It's so cool.
[09:10] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    It's like an instrument.
[09:13] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    It's so thin and shiny.
[09:15] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    There's nothing unnecessary on it.
[09:19] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    I wonder if it makes a nice sound.
[09:22] (Flashback) Teshima
    The ratchets on the wheels will
    send shivers down your spine.
[09:28] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    This sound, this energy...
[09:31] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    This vibration!
[09:32] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    This is amazing.
[09:33] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    It truly is an instrument!
[09:37] (Flashback) Teshima
    I'm thinking about doing
    this pretty seriously.
[09:42] (Flashback) Teshima
    I'm going to race internationally.
[09:44] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    Internationally?
[09:47] (Flashback) Teshima
    Just kidding.
[09:48] (Flashback) Teshima
    Are you gonna laugh because
     I'm dreaming too big?
[09:52] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    Of course not.
[09:53] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    That's amazing. It's cool.
[09:56] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    You have my support.
[10:00] (Flashback) Teshima
    Let's ride!
[10:02] (Flashback) Teshima
    I'll become the best in the world!
[10:05] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    Jun-chan!
[10:07] (Flashback) Teshima
    Let's become the best together.
[10:09] (Flashback) Teshima
    You'll be right there with me.
[10:14] Ashikiba
    Jun-chan...
[10:15] Teshima
    Shikiba.
[10:18] Teshima
    Honestly, I was shaken when
    I saw the participant list...
[10:22] Teshima
    When I learned you were
    on Hakone Academy's team.
[10:26] Ashikiba
    When I heard you became
    the captain of Sohoku,
[10:32] Ashikiba
    I thought you were worthy of the position.
[10:35] Ashikiba
    I knew you were good enough to do it.
[10:44] Teshima
    Do you remember how I told you
    we'd become champions together?
[10:48] Ashikiba
    Yeah, of course.
[10:50] Teshima
    But I'm the captain of Sohoku now.
[10:55] Teshima
    In other words, their pillar.
[10:56] Teshima
    Now I have to fight against you
    and Hakone Academy, Ashikiba!
[11:03] Ashikiba
    Same here...
[11:06] Ashikiba
    Since I'm Hakone Academy's next ace.
[11:10] Imaizumi
    Their next ace?
[11:17] Imaizumi
    Hakone Academy second-year Ashikiba...
[11:20] Imaizumi
    This guy will be their ace next year?
[11:26] Imaizumi
    Since he's so tall, the distance from his hip joint
    to his knees is exceptionally long.
[11:31] Imaizumi
    Every time he turns the pedals,
    I can hear the wind whistle.
[11:34] Imaizumi
    No, wait! It wasn't making
    that sound a minute ago.
[11:36] Imaizumi
    Which means he's started
    pedaling at full power.
[11:43] Sakamichi
    There's so much pressure.
[11:46] Teshima
    Shikiba...
[11:47] Ashikiba
    Jun-chan...
[11:49] Ashikiba
    Jun-chan, I don't want to
    crush the team you made.
[11:53] Ashikiba
    I wish I could join it instead.
[11:56] Ashikiba
    But I owe the seniors of Hakone Academy...
[12:01] Ashikiba
    I told them I would win this race!
[12:05] Sakamichi
    How is he dancing like that?
[12:07] Sakamichi
    His body's swaying back and forth!
[12:08] Imaizumi
    He's accelerating so quickly!
[12:10] Imaizumi
    In just a single step, too!
[12:18] Tadokoro
    Thanks for the ride.
[12:20] Naruko
    Old man, your elbows and ass are in the way!
[12:23] Tadokoro
    What are you complaining about?
[12:25] Tadokoro
    Look at Aoyagi.
[12:26] Tadokoro
    He's sitting quietly, without saying a word.
[12:29] Naruko
    He never says anything!
[12:31] Sugimoto
    I'm sitting quietly, too.
[12:34] Naruko
    You're just too big!
[12:34] Driver
    You boys sure make a lot of noise.
[12:35] Tadokoro
    Shut up! You're just...
[12:37] Kinjou
    Teshima...
[12:39] Kinjou
    It's hard to imagine Hakone Academy would send
     someone just to scope out the competition.
[12:44] Kinjou
    They'll be going for the win.
[12:45] Kinjou
    Expect them to challenge us.
[12:48] Kinjou
    Onoda's not doing well.
[12:50] Kinjou
    He switched to a new bike, but he's
    still only drawing out 30% of his power.
[12:56] Kinjou
    Probably because of Makishima.
[13:01] Kinjou
    As a fellow climber, he provided
    moral support, and he quit the club early.
[13:06] Kinjou
    But regretting that forever
    won't change anything.
[13:09] Kinjou
    He has to move forward despite it.
    That's part of road racing.
[13:14] Kinjou
    If you don't move forward,
    you'll be left behind.
[13:17] Driver
    Kinjou-kun,
[13:19] Driver
    as their former captain, which of the
    Sohoku members do you think will win?
[13:23] Driver
    Will it be Onoda-kun again?
[13:25] Driver
    Or Imaizumi-kun?
[13:26] Kinjou
    I don't know.
[13:29] Kinjou
    Personally speaking,
[13:31] Kinjou
    I think the Hakone Academy second-year
    on the participant list could win.
[13:39] Kinjou
    I think this race could determine the
    future of Sohoku's new generation.
[13:45] Sugimoto
    But we're the champions.
[13:48] Sugimoto
    Champions would never...
[13:56] Rider 4
    Damn it.
[13:57] Rider 4
    I ran from the pack to try to win,
     but someone's catching up.
[14:01] Rider 4
    And he's huge!
[14:03] Rider 4
    There's someone right behind him.
[14:05] Rider 4
    It's Sohoku.
[14:06] Rider 4
    Their captain, Teshima!
[14:08] Teshima
    Ashikiba!
[14:10] Imaizumi
    Teshima-san is fast!
[14:12] Imaizumi
    We couldn't even respond, but he reacted
    instantly and kept up with him.
[14:18] Imaizumi
    The Teshima-san I know would've already...
[14:21] Imaizumi
    What is this?
[14:23] Imaizumi
    He's nothing like he was
    at the training camp.
[14:26] Imaizumi
    Has he always been this fast?
[14:43] Ashikiba
    Jun-chan!
[14:44] Teshima
    Shikiba!
[14:45] Teshima
    We're the champions!
[14:47] Teshima
    We won't let you take the Minegayama title!
[14:49] Ashikiba
    You really are amazing, Jun-chan!
[14:53] Ashikiba
    The seniors who scoped out
     the CSC training camp
[14:56] Ashikiba
    said second-year Teshima was nothing special.
[15:00] Ashikiba
    I couldn't tell them, but I
    didn't think that was possible.
[15:04] Ashikiba
    I'll make them revise their evaluation later.
[15:07] Ashikiba
    Are you ready to go?
[15:10] Ashikiba
    There's only four kilometers left.
SIGN    Distance to Finish Line
[15:14] Ashikiba
    We used to climb together a lot and
    get frustrated when we had to stop.
SIGN    Ahead
[15:20] Ashikiba
    On Minegayama's iconic...
[15:23] Ashikiba
    Kabesaka!
[15:27] Ashikiba
    Amazing.
[15:28] Ashikiba
    I can hear Beethoven's Fifth
    playing inside my head!
[15:38] Teshima
    Ashikiba's good.
[15:41] Teshima
    He's gotten way better since middle school.
[15:45] Teshima
    He's certainly on the level of an ace.
[15:47] Teshima
    He could still go harder.
[15:49] Teshima
    But I'm Sohoku's captain!
[15:53] Teshima
    I can't let him pull away!
[16:02] Imaizumi
    Naruko lost speed on this hill
    during the first-year race.
[16:07] Imaizumi
    Why do I feel so hot?
[16:11] Imaizumi
    Just how hard did he work?
[16:15] Imaizumi
    The way Teshima-san is riding is enchanting.
[16:21] Sakamichi
    T-Teshima-san is amazing.
[16:25] Imaizumi
    Onoda...
[16:26] Sakamichi
    He's amazing.
[16:29] Sakamichi
    Amazing!
[16:31] Teshima
    Ashikiba, you always overestimate me.
[16:37] Teshima
    "You're amazing, Jun-chan. You're worthy."
[16:41] Teshima
    It makes me happy to hear that,
    but it's just not true.
[16:44] Teshima
    I'm weak.
[16:45] Teshima
    I'm clinging to my handlebars,
    hanging onto legs that feel like
[16:50] Teshima
    they're about to stop, and my heart's
    beating out of my chest.
[16:55] Teshima
    Honestly, I'm not on your level.
[16:58] Teshima
    But Ashikiba, I won't lose!
[17:01] Teshima
    Because I'm...
[17:03] Teshima
    The captain of Sohoku!
[17:06] Imaizumi
    Two kilometers left!
[17:09] Ashikiba
    Beethoven's Fifth won't stop playing!
[17:18] Teshima
    Metronome Dancing! This is it!
[17:22] Teshima
    Did I reach my limit?
[17:25] Teshima
    Keep fighting, Junta!
[17:26] Teshima
    You're here because Makishima-san
    told you to climb!
[17:39] Teshima
    Shikiba!
[17:41] Tadokoro
    He caught up!
[17:44] Ashikiba
    You caught up again.
[17:46] Ashikiba
    Jun-chan, you really are amazing.
[17:48] Naruko
    That Hakone Academy guy is huge!
[17:50] Naruko
    I've never seen him before!
[17:51] Naruko
    Who is he?
[17:53] Aoyagi
    Classmates?
[17:54] (Flashback) Teshima
    Yeah, from middle school.
[17:57] (Flashback) Teshima
    He's tall and kind.
[18:01] (Flashback) Teshima
    He's always complimenting other people.
[18:04] (Flashback) Teshima
    We used to ride together a lot.
[18:07] (Flashback) Teshima
    I've never told you about him before.
[18:10] (Flashback) Aoyagi
    Your teammate, then?
[18:12] (Flashback) Teshima
    We promised to become champions together.
[18:15] (Flashback) Teshima
    But...
[18:19] (Flashback) Teshima
    Unfortunately, today he's my opponent.
[18:22] Aoyagi
    A battle against a friend...
[18:24] Aoyagi
    He's steeled his resolve as the new captain.
[18:29] Aoyagi
    But I can tell...
[18:31] Aoyagi
    Junta's approaching his limit.
[18:51] Tadokoro
    He's still hanging on.
[18:53] Naruko
    Perm head!
[18:54] Tadokoro
    1.5 kilometers left.
[18:57] Naruko
    Sorry, Teshima-san.
[18:59] Naruko
    Honestly, I didn't think much of you.
[19:04] Naruko
    Look at this, old man.
[19:06] Naruko
    The gutsy way he's riding
    is making my hands shake.
[19:10] Tadokoro
    Of course it is.
[19:11] Tadokoro
    I'm the one who trained Teshima and Aoyagi.
[19:14] Naruko
    You didn't teach them how to climb.
[19:18] Tadokoro
    He might just make it to
    the finish line like this.
[19:21] Kinjou
    He can't.
[19:23] Kinjou
    Like Makishima said, Teshima has
    no talent or instinct for climbing.
[19:28] Kinjou
    When it comes to climbing, he's mediocre.
[19:31] Kinjou
    And mediocre riders have their limits.
[19:33] Naruko
    Why would you say that, Kinjou-san?
[19:36] Naruko
    Did he not impress you?
[19:38] Naruko
    You should be cheering him on!
[19:40] Tadokoro
    Naruko...
[19:41] Naruko
    Are you saying Sohoku's going to lose
    to that lanky Hakone Academy guy?
[19:45] Kinjou
    No, not necessarily.
[19:50] Kinjou
    Teshima's riding is affecting them
    the same way it affected you.
[19:56] Kinjou
    More than we ever did.
[20:00] Kinjou
    The two riding behind Teshima are
    feeling his passionate vibrations.
[20:07] Imaizumi
    I'm shaking. I'm on fire.
[20:10] Imaizumi
    How can he ride like that?
[20:12] Imaizumi
    How can he keep up?
[20:14] Sakamichi
    Imaizumi-kun...
[20:16] Sakamichi
    I want to ride all out and
    catch up to Teshima-san!
[20:25] Imaizumi
    Onoda!
[20:26] Teshima
    Imaizumi...
[20:28] (Flashback) Teshima
    If... If Onoda says he wants
    to attack during the race...
[20:34] (Flashback) Teshima
    gently push him forward.
[20:38] Sakamichi
    Imaizumi-kun!
[20:41] Imaizumi
    There's no need to hold back.
[20:44] Imaizumi
    Teshima-san will accept you with open arms.
[20:48] Imaizumi
    If you want to catch up to him,
    charge straight ahead...
[20:54] Imaizumi
    Onoda Sakamichi!
[20:57] Sakamichi
    Got it!
[21:02] Naruko
    Onoda-kun's going for it!
[21:03] Tadokoro
    He's trying to catch up.
[21:05] Naruko
    Hotshot sent Onoda-kun off.
[21:08] Kinjou
    Teshima's an average rider.
[21:11] Kinjou
    But that's why he moves
    the people around him.
[21:15] Kinjou
    And those vibrations become their strength.
[21:17] Kinjou
    That power is transmitted to his teammates.
[21:23] Kinjou
    Teshima, is that how you captain your team?
[21:27] Sakamichi
    Teshima-san!
[21:32] Teshima
    Onoda!
[21:35] Kinjou
    Don't worry, Naruko.
[21:37] Kinjou
    The race isn't over yet.
[23:15] Girl 3
    You're so cute!
[23:17] Sakamichi
    Huh? What?
[23:18] Sakamichi
    Thanks!
[23:22] Imaizumi
    Teshima-san, I think you're, uh...
[23:26] Imaizumi
    I think you're handsome.
[23:28] Teshima
    Really?
[23:30] Teshima
    Imaizumi, I'll call you "Elite"
    for the rest of the week.
