[00:00] Sugimoto
What? Support staff are on the course?
[00:02] Sugimoto
Huh? Kyoto?
[00:04] Sugimoto
But why?
[00:06] Koga
Did they get them mixed up
with Hakone Academy?
[00:07] Koga
You were in the same position as Sohoku.
[00:11] Hakone
You didn't hear the correction on the radio?
[00:16] Hakone
They shook off the others.
[00:18] Sugimoto
B-By himself?
[00:20] Hakone
This year there are two
of them chasing the leaders!
[00:25] Komari
Two times one is two.
[00:27] Komari
Two times two is four.
[00:29] Komari
Two times three is six.
[00:31] Komari
Two times four is eight.
[00:33] Komari
Two times five is ten.
[00:34] Komari
Two times six is 12.
[00:36] Komari
Two times seven is 14.
[00:38] Komari
Two times eight is 16.
[00:40] Komari
Two times nine is 18.
[00:42] Komari
They're teeming with muscles!
[00:47] Imaizumi
Mi...
[00:47] Naruko
Midousuji...
[00:49] Midousuji
We caught up!

[02:28] Imaizumi
There are 3.5 kilometers to
the first day's finish line.
[02:32] Imaizumi
And he caught up now?
[02:36] Kuroda
Seriously?
[02:37] Ashikiba
Whoa!
[02:38] Midousuji
I found you!
[02:41] Imaizumi
They've been coming after us?
[02:42] Imaizumi
They passed Aoyagi-san,
Kaburagi, and the others?
[02:45] Kuroda
Kyoto Fushimi?
[02:47] Kuroda
I heard they disrupted the race last year.
[02:49] Kuroda
It must be all the pressure he's
exerting that makes him look huge.
[02:54] Kuroda
I can tell. He's calculated everything.
[02:58] Kuroda
He is only thinking about winning.
[03:04] Kuroda
Kyoto Fushimi's Midousuji...
[03:07] Kuroda
You're exactly as Fukutomi-san
described last year.
[03:11] (Flashback) Fukutomi
Though we lost the overall race,
this year's power rankings
[03:15] (Flashback) Fukutomi
put Hakone Academy first,
Sohoku next, and then the rest.
[03:20] (Flashback) Kuroda
Yes, sir.
[03:21] (Flashback) Fukutomi
But Kyoto Fushimi's Midousuji...
[03:24] (Flashback) Fukutomi
This loss will push him to
enter the Inter-High again.
[03:30] (Flashback) Fukutomi
Kuroda, unless your resolve is strong
by the time you become a third-year,
[03:36] (Flashback) Fukutomi
Hakone Academy won't reclaim its throne.
[03:38] (Flashback) Kuroda
Yes, sir.
[03:38] (Flashback) Fukutomi
After all, there will be three!
[03:41] (Flashback) Fukutomi
Hakone Academy, Sohoku, and Kyoto Fushimi!
[03:44] (Flashback) Fukutomi
It will be an era of three powerhouses!
[03:48] Kuroda
Three powerhouses...
[03:50] Midousuji
What are you looking at, Hakone Academy?
[03:54] Midousuji
Were you lost in thought
in the middle of a race?
[03:59] Kuroda
It took him a second to come up on my left.
[04:01] Kuroda
He's fast.
[04:03] Kuroda
But I just have to do
everything I can to stop him.
[04:07] ---
Wow!
[04:08] Kuroda
Huh?
[04:17] Kuroda
What?!
[04:19] Kuroda
What are you doing?
[04:21] Komari
I'm sorry.
[04:22] Komari
As a first-year, this is my first Inter-High.
[04:25] Komari
I was so happy to see one of the rumored
Hakone Academy riders that I stumbled.
[04:31] Kuroda
So happy you stumbled?
[04:33] Komari
Nice muscles.
[04:35] Komari
So these are the rumored cat legs
of Hakone Academy's Kuroda.
[04:38] Komari
I couldn't help but touch them...
[04:41] Komari
And make a sound, too.
[04:42] Komari
There are so many wonderful muscles right
before the finish line at the Inter-High!
[04:46] Imaizumi
That's #116, Kishigami Komari.
[04:50] Imaizumi
He did something similar to me
before the race started.
[04:53] Imaizumi
Is he trying to agitate us?
[04:55] Both
What's his deal?
[04:57] Komari
Muscles...
[04:59] Kuroda
He was listed as a substitute.
[05:00] Kuroda
So why is he here before the finish line?
[05:04] Imaizumi
In any case, right now,
I should focus on the finish line.
[05:07] Imaizumi
Don't let them manipulate you.
[05:09] Imaizumi
On this year's first day,
after we pass Lake Chuzenji,
[05:13] Imaizumi
the elevation rapidly rises toward the
finish line in a winding uphill climb.
[05:20] Imaizumi
Wait! Where is he?
[05:21] Kuroda
He's gone!
[05:22] Imaizumi
Where is Midousuji?
[05:25] Kuroda
Midousuji's gone!
[05:26] Ashikiba
Yuki-chan!
[05:27] Kuroda
Did he take advantage of the
confusion caused by #116...
[05:32] Kuroda
And attack?
[05:35] Kuroda
He's above us!
[05:36] Kuroda
He's going for the solo finish!
[05:38] Imaizumi
Faster, Naruko!
[05:40] Imaizumi
We can't leave him
for the last three kilometers!
[05:41] Imaizumi
Damn! How does Midousuji get me every time?
[05:46] Imaizumi
Naruko?
[05:48] Imaizumi
What's going on? Why isn't he here?
[05:51] Imaizumi
Naruko!
[05:53] Midousuji
I caught up, caused a commotion,
and took advantage of it to attack.
[05:57] Midousuji
Just as planned.
[06:00] Midousuji
All I want is victory.
[06:02] Midousuji
All I need is victory.
[06:05] Midousuji
I'll leave them in the dust.
[06:09] Midousuji
And Komari-kun really does
have no self control.
[06:15] Midousuji
Just three kilometers left.
[06:17] Midousuji
I'll take the finish line alone.
[06:21] Fan A
Kyoto Fushimi's in the lead!
[06:22] Fan B
Wow, seriously?
[06:24] Fan C
Kyoto Fushimi's #111, Midousuji,
is the first to come up the hill!
[06:29] Midousuji
At least, I was supposed to.
[06:32] Fan A
And behind him is...
[06:34] Midousuji
But you're the only one who
didn't take his eyes off me...
[06:41] Midousuji
You chicken-headed bean!
[06:44] Naruko
You should be thanking me, Midousuji.
[06:46] Naruko
I thought you'd be bored traveling alone,
so I tagged along.
[06:50] Fan B
Sohoku's in second! It's Naruko!
[06:52] Fan B
He's keeping up with Midousuji by himself!
[06:55] Fan D
What's going on?
[06:56] Fan D
Ten minutes ago, they reported that Sohoku
and Hakone Academy were racing for first!
[06:59] Fan E
I don't see the others!
[07:01] Fan E
There's three kilometers left!
[07:02] Fan E
What's going to happen?
[07:04] Fan D
This is the best part of road racing!
[07:07] Fan E
There's no telling who
will take the finish line!
[07:11] Naruko
I hope you haven't forgotten
last winter's battle, Midousuji!
[07:17] Midousuji
Did something happen?
[07:20] Midousuji
The seasons have changed.
[07:24] Midousuji
Chicken-headed bean...
[07:26] Midousuji
It was impressive enough that you were
the only one not to take his eyes off me,
[07:31] Midousuji
but what really deserves recognition...
[07:35] Midousuji
is that you kept up with
my attack on the climb.
[07:39] Midousuji
You were supposed to be a sprinter.
[07:42] Midousuji
You even abandoned the deep
wheels you were so proud of.
[07:46] Midousuji
This man really did quit being a
sprinter to become an all-rounder!
[07:54] Midousuji
Sorry. I can't remember, chicken-headed bean.
[07:58] Naruko
I can see in your eyes
that you do, Midousuji!
[08:02] Midousuji
A sprinter...
[08:04] Midousuji
I don't mind a man so
willing to give that up.
[08:12] Naruko
You idiot! I'm here to reclaim that!
[08:17] Midousuji
Here? With less than three kilometers
to the finish line at the Inter-High?
[08:23] Midousuji
Your plan is to race against me
and reclaim the title of sprinter?
[08:28] Naruko
What could be more tense, right?
[08:33] Midousuji
Fine. Sounds interesting.
[08:36] Midousuji
I'll do it. But...
[08:43] Midousuji
Only if you can catch up to me!
[08:46] Fan F
Kyoto Fushimi's accelerating
on the winding uphill!
[08:49] Fan G
What is that?
[08:50] Fan G
He leans so far forward when he dances!
[08:52] Fan F
He's so fast!
[08:52] Fan F
He's still accelerating!
[08:54] Midousuji
You may have gotten faster on the climb,
but you're still only a sprinter.
[08:59] Midousuji
You can't catch up to me with
just a little bit of effort.
[09:08] Midousuji
Huh?
[09:11] Fan G
Sohoku's Naruko is keeping up with
Kyoto Fushimi's acceleration!
[09:15] Fan F
Incredible! That red-headed guy's so fast,
even though he's small!
[09:18] Naruko
Don't think you can pull
ahead of me on the climb!
[09:21] Naruko
I told you so before we started, Midousuji!
[09:23] Midousuji
I'm all about experiencing
things to understand them.
[09:28] Midousuji
Not bad, chicken-head.
[09:31] Midousuji
Rather, Naruko-kun.
[09:34] Midousuji
Shall we work together until
the finish line, then?
[09:40] Midousuji
Good idea, right?
[09:43] Midousuji
You and I are the only ones nearing
the finish line right now.
[09:47] Midousuji
If we work together, we'll arrive
at the finish line first.
[09:52] Midousuji
Even you could take it first.
[09:55] Midousuji
You'll be able to deliver your
precious jersey to the finish line.
[09:59] Midousuji
Oh, it's okay.
[10:01] Midousuji
Don't worry. I'm talking
about peaceful cooperation.
[10:05] Midousuji
I just want to finish as highly ranked
as possible today for tomorrow.
[10:09] Midousuji
If you pedal really hard, then as a symbol
of our friendship, I'll let you—
[10:17] Naruko
You're bluffing.
[10:19] Naruko
Those aren't the eyes of a
man willing to give that up.
[10:23] Midousuji
I'm bluffing!
[10:24] Naruko
Don't use words like "friendship" that
aren't part of your normal vocabulary!
[10:32] Naruko
He shifted up.
[10:37] Naruko
This guy...
[10:39] Naruko
He's stronger than he was last winter!
[10:42] Naruko
That massive pressure was real!
[10:45] Midousuji
Oh, right.
[10:47] Midousuji
Chicken-head, as a special treat,
I'll show you something.
[10:53] Midousuji
I still have something special up my sleeve.
[11:02] Makishima
Where are we, Tadokorocchi?
[11:06] Tadokoro
Kanzaki-san told me there's a traffic jam.
[11:10] Tadokoro
This is a shortcut.
[11:11] Kinjou
I know you're the
Rampaging Human Bullet, but...
[11:16] Kinjou
You have to have limits, Tadokoro!
[11:18] Tadokoro
You can count on me.
[11:20] Tadokoro
We'll make it in time to
see the end of the race!
[11:26] Ashikiba
Yuki-chan!
[11:26] Kuroda
I know! He got past us!
[11:29] Imaizumi
Did Naruko go after Midousuji?
[11:32] Kuroda
We'll go after them at full speed, Ashikiba!
[11:34] Ashikiba
Yeah!
[11:35] Kuroda
There's no point if we can't catch up.
[11:38] Kuroda
Hakone Academy has to be part
of the race for the finish line!
[11:44] Kuroda
Sohoku's Imaizumi!
[11:48] Kuroda
Shall we work together?
[11:51] Kuroda
Don't you want to stop Midousuji?
[11:54] Kuroda
We'll cooperate until then.
[11:58] Imaizumi
Cooperate with Hakone Academy?
[12:01] Imaizumi
There are three kilometers to the finish line.
[12:03] Imaizumi
Hakone Academy is an opposing
team racing for the finish line.
[12:06] Imaizumi
But Midousuji is in front of me.
[12:09] Imaizumi
I'm in!
[12:10] Imaizumi
I'll cooperate with you, Kuroda-san!
[12:12] Kuroda
Good, but only if you can
keep up with my top speed!
[12:17] Kuroda
I'm flipping my switch!
[12:21] Kuroda
Don't get left behind, Imaizumi!
[12:24] Imaizumi
Got it!
[12:26] Fan A
Sohoku and Hakone Academy
are climbing together!
[12:28] Fan B
Wow, they're cooperating!
[12:30] Fan B
And Kuroda's a fast climber!
[12:33] Fan A
Of course he is!
[12:33] Fan A
He used to be one!
[12:36] Imaizumi
Incredible...
[12:38] Imaizumi
He's pulling me upward as we accelerate,
even on this incline.
[12:41] Kuroda
Don't underestimate me, Kyoto Fushimi!
[12:43] Kuroda
I'll make you regret
challenging me on a climb!
[12:49] Imaizumi
This is different from how
he was racing earlier.
[12:51] Imaizumi
Did he do something?
[12:53] Imaizumi
His pressure has increased.
[12:55] Imaizumi
He said something about a switch earlier.
[12:58] Imaizumi
Does this have something to do
with him touching his temple?
[13:03] Ashikiba
Yuki-chan...
[13:04] Ashikiba
You flipped your switch.
[13:06] Ashikiba
You're always so fast when you do.
[13:10] (Flashback) Kuorda
Huh? What's my switch?
[13:13] (Flashback) Ashikiba
You always get faster before
the finish line when
[13:16] (Flashback) Ashikiba
you say you're flipping your switch.
[13:19] (Flashback) Ashikiba
I was wondering what kind of
magical incantation it is.
[13:21] (Flashback) Kuroda
What?
[13:21] (Flashback) Kuroda
It's not an incantation.
[13:23] (Flashback) Kuroda
What are you, a high school girl
who believes in jinxes?
[13:26] (Flashback) Kuroda
I have a scar right here.
[13:30] (Flashback) Ashikiba
Really?
[13:32] (Flashback) Kuroda
I guess you hadn't heard.
[13:34] (Flashback) Kuroda
A long time ago, I once suffered
an injury related to my pride.
[13:38] (Flashback) Kuroda
When I turn on my switch, I'm scraping
off the unhealed scab with my nail.
[13:46] (Flashback) Ashikiba
That's what you've been doing, Yuki-chan?
[13:49] (Flashback) Kuroda
It bleeds nicely when I do.
[13:51] (Flashback) Kuroda
It clears my mind.
[13:53] (Flashback) Kuroda
It revives the old me.
[13:56] (Flashback) Kuroda
The man who couldn't stand
not being best at everything.
[14:02] (Flashback) Kuroda
And then...
[14:03] Kuroda
It heightens my competitiveness, my focus.
[14:07] Kuroda
My desire to consume my enemies shoots up.
[14:10] Kuroda
Kyoto Fushimi!
[14:12] Ashikiba
I can feel it, Yuki-chan.
[14:14] Ashikiba
I feel it.
[14:17] Ashikiba
It's heightened for me, too!
[14:20] Imaizumi
Ashikiba-san increased his pressure, too?
[14:23] Imaizumi
Does working together do that for this
year's #1 and #2 from Hakone Academy?
[14:30] Imaizumi
Was agreeing to cooperate
with them a mistake?
SIGN Kuroda
SIGN Imaizumi
SIGN Ashikiba
[14:33] Imaizumi
I'm helping my opponents
get to the finish line.
SIGN Midousuji
SIGN Naruko
[14:37] Imaizumi
Sohoku has Naruko nearing the finish line.
[14:40] Imaizumi
Should I have tried to stop
Hakone Academy instead?
[14:44] Imaizumi
No.
[14:46] Imaizumi
They could reach the front
without my cooperation.
[14:50] Imaizumi
And if that happened, Sohoku would be alone.
[14:52] Imaizumi
We'd be at an overwhelming disadvantage.
[14:54] Fan D
Wow, Sohoku's pulling for Hakone Academy!
[14:57] Fan E
Last year's rival teams are working
together to pursue the leaders!
[15:01] Fan E
Such passion!
[15:02] Fan D
Take a picture!
[15:04] Kuroda
Not bad, Imaizumi. You pull well.
[15:07] Kuroda
It's smooth and efficient.
[15:09] Kuroda
And you're smart. I know what you're thinking.
[15:12] Kuroda
You're wondering if you made the right
choice by agreeing to cooperate.
[15:17] Kuroda
I like that look in your eyes.
[15:20] Kuroda
They're the eyes of a lively and proud elite.
[15:27] Kuroda
I can tell from your face
that you don't think I understand.
[15:29] Kuroda
Sorry, but I do. I get it.
[15:31] Kuroda
After all, I used to be an elite.
[15:33] Kuroda
You don't go with the crowd, you don't
back down, and you don't listen to others.
[15:37] Imaizumi
Kuroda-san's going even faster.
[15:40] Kuroda
And yet you're still better than the rest.
[15:43] Kuroda
No wonder you're confused.
[15:45] Imaizumi
I'm not like that.
[15:47] Kuroda
Good luck with that, kid.
[15:51] Imaizumi
I've worked harder than anyone else.
[15:53] Imaizumi
That's why I'm strong.
[15:55] Imaizumi
I've achieved things, too.
[15:56] Imaizumi
It has nothing to do with being an elite.
[15:59] Kuroda
In order to become stronger
and rise higher...
[16:07] Kuroda
Have you ever bowed your head
to the one you hate the most?
[16:15] Kuroda
That's it. Keep it up, Imaizumi.
[16:17] Kuroda
I'd like to see how far your
friendly little club gets you.
[16:21] Kuroda
I believe a team is about becoming
stronger by struggling against
[16:26] Kuroda
and hating each other.
[16:29] Kuroda
Well, good luck.
[16:32] Ashikiba
Yuki-chan, I'll switch
with you. I'll lead next.
[16:35] Kuroda
Stay back, Takuto!
[16:39] Ashikiba
But we need to catch up
as quickly as possible.
[16:42] Ashikiba
And all three of us are working together.
[16:44] Kuroda
Don't be absurd, Takuto!
[16:46] Kuroda
You're the ace!
[16:47] Kuroda
Taking the finish line is the ace's job!
[16:52] Kuroda
Trusting your assistants and
conserving your strength
[16:54] Kuroda
no matter how bad it gets is your job!
[16:58] Kuroda
Don't worry.
[16:59] Kuroda
I'll pull twice as hard for you.
[17:02] Kuroda
And if Imaizumi's not happy with that,
I'll pull three times as hard.
[17:06] Imaizumi
Even under these circumstances,
he still intends to be his assistant?
[17:10] Kuroda
Just shut up and follow me.
[17:12] Kuroda
I'm Black Cat Kuroda, the deliveryman!
[17:20] Imaizumi
But I still don't see Midousuji.
[17:24] Imaizumi
Damn it. Only two
and a half kilometers left.
[17:27] Imaizumi
Will we fail to catch up to them?
[17:29] Imaizumi
If that happens...
[17:31] Imaizumi
I'm counting on you, Naruko!
[17:38] Midousuji
You're at your limit.
[17:41] Midousuji
Is that the best you can do,
chicken-headed bean?
[17:46] Midousuji
In that case, the finish line is mine.
[17:54] Fan
There are 2.5 kilometers left to
the first day's finish line!
[17:57] Fan
Kyoto Fushimi's in the lead!
[17:58] Fan
Go!
[18:00] Fan
Kyoto Fushimi!
[18:01] Staff
Kyoto Fushimi is amazing this year.
[18:04] Staff
I just heard over the radio that
there's three guys chasing after them,
[18:07] Staff
but they're pretty far behind.
[18:09] Staff
He might actually be able to
stay ahead of them and win!
[18:15] Fan E
Kyoto Fushimi's raising his pace!
[18:17] Fan E
He's trying to stay ahead!
[18:19] Fan G
Sohoku's desperately chasing after him!
[18:21] Fan G
At this rate, the first day will go
to either Sohoku or Kyoto Fushimi!
[18:25] Midousuji
There are two ways to take the
finish line in a road race.
[18:30] Midousuji
Either catch up to those who
raced ahead for a "group finish,"
[18:34] Midousuji
or stay ahead of the others
in a "running finish."
[18:39] Midousuji
I'm fairly far ahead of Hakone Academy.
[18:42] Midousuji
I read the terrain and timing
to achieve this margin.
[18:46] Midousuji
If I can just maintain this lead, I'll win!
[18:53] Midousuji
Only two kilometers left!
[18:57] Midousuji
Winning, victory, the fruits of my labor...
[19:00] Midousuji
Proof I'm faster than the others.
[19:03] Midousuji
Stronger than the others.
[19:05] Midousuji
More right than the others.
[19:08] Midousuji
Purer than anything else.
[19:11] Midousuji
That is the finish line!
[19:14] Midousuji
So why are you trying so hard with
clenched teeth and a pained expression?
[19:22] Midousuji
Why? You should allow your spirit
to be broken and just give up.
[19:28] Midousuji
Why are you so close, chicken-headed bean?
[19:32] Midousuji
What is it? The power of friendship?
[19:35] Midousuji
Is the energy Weakizumi-kun's
sending you giving you courage?
[19:39] Midousuji
Don't push yourself so hard.
Feel free to drop out.
[19:42] Naruko
You said you'd race me if I caught up,
so I caught up, Midousuji!
[19:48] Naruko
I've been waiting for you to
switch from watching your back
[19:51] Naruko
to letting down your guard
and only facing forward!
[19:59] Midousuji
You intend to get in my way?
[20:02] Naruko
With all my might!
[20:04] Midousuji
What an unpleasant attitude.
[20:07] Naruko
That's rich, coming from you.
[20:10] Naruko
That's the perfect sound for a starting bell!
[20:14] Fan H
He's so fast!
[20:15] Fan H
He was falling behind earlier!
[20:17] Fan I
He let him get ahead so he could
conserve his strength on the climb.
[20:21] Fan H
What do you mean?
[20:22] Fan I
The first day's course follows a
[20:24] Fan I
winding road after Lake Chuzenji
into the final uphill climb.
[20:28] Fan I
Once you're through the birch forest,
[20:31] Fan I
it's a perfectly flat road at
the base of Mount Nantaisan!
[20:36] Fan I
Sohoku's #3 is a former sprinter!
[20:42] Naruko
A single road cutting through the trees.
[20:44] Naruko
One thousand, seven hundred meters
to the final finish line.
[20:46] Naruko
Flat terrain.
[20:48] Naruko
Just the two of us.
[20:49] Naruko
It's just like that time!
[20:52] Naruko
That time...
[20:54] (Flashback) Naruko
I'll quit sprinting!
[20:56] Naruko
It's just like our race in Osaka.
[21:00] Naruko
And on top of that,
we're racing for the finish line!
[21:05] Naruko
Surely you don't have any—
[21:07] Midousuji
No complaints here, chicken-headed bean.
[21:14] Naruko
He's breaking out his special technique.
[21:16] (Flashback) Midousuji
I'll race you. However,
you'll only get one chance.
[21:24] (Flashback) Naruko
That's plenty.
[21:29] Midousuji
Gross!
[21:31] Naruko
It's time for our race!
[23:08] Komari
Hello. Today I'd like to introduce
you to Kyoto-style roast beef.

[23:16] Komari
First you season it with
salt and yuzu chili paste.
[23:26] Komari
Good! This is good meat!
[23:29] Komari
The best meat!
[23:33] Midousuji
You really are an impatient man.
