[00:00] Midousuji
    Just three kilometers left.
[00:02] Midousuji
    I'll take the finish line alone.
[00:05] Fan A
    Kyoto Fushimi's in the lead!
[00:07] Fan B
    Wow, seriously?
[00:09] Fan C
    Kyoto Fushimi's #111, Midousuji,
    is the first to come up the hill!
[00:14] Midousuji
    At least, I was supposed to.
[00:17] Fan A
    And behind him is...
[00:18] Midousuji
    But you're the only one who
    didn't take his eyes off me...
[00:26] Midousuji
    You chicken-headed bean!
[00:29] Naruko
    You should be thanking me, Midousuji.
[00:31] Naruko
    I thought you'd be bored traveling
    alone, so I tagged along.
[00:34] ---
    Sohoku's in second! It's Naruko!
[00:37] ---
    He's keeping up with Midousuji by himself!
[00:40] Naruko
    He shifted up.
[00:46] Naruko
    This guy...
[00:47] Naruko
    He's stronger than he was last winter!
[00:50] Naruko
    That massive pressure was real!
[00:53] Midousuji
    Oh, right.
[00:55] Midousuji
    Chicken-head, as a special treat,
    I'll show you something special.
[01:01] Midousuji
    I still have something special up my sleeve.

    Things are buzzing over here.
[02:46] Sadatoki
    Sawada-kun and Gorizo-kun
    saved us spots to watch the finish.
SIGN    Sohoku High School
[02:51] Sada
    We did it!
[02:52] Gorizo
    At high speed!
[02:53] Sadatoki
    Bro, when will you get here?
[02:56] Sadatoki
    Oh, how was the race?
[02:57] Sadatoki
    We took the school bus.
[02:59] Sugimoto
    Listen, Sadatoki.
[03:01] Sadatoki
    Sounds like the leaders will be here soon.
[03:03] Sawada
    We'll be waiting!
[03:04] Gorizo
    Keep up the pace, please!
[03:07] Koga
    This is third-year Koga.
[03:08] Koga
    Sadatoki, listen closely.
[03:10] Koga
    The support car is stuck in
    a traffic jam at Irohazaka.
[03:15] Koga
    After taking the spare bikes to the
    feed zone and handing off supplies,
[03:19] Koga
    we were fortunate enough to
    be picked up by the news car.

[03:23] Koga
    We're on our way there now,
    but I don't know if we'll make it in time.
[03:27] Koga
    You first-years who are there will
    have to support Sohoku alone.
[03:31] Sadatoki
    What?
[03:32] Sawada
    Koga-san, are you serious?
[03:33] Gorizo
    But we're first-years!
[03:35] Gorizo
    This is our first Inter-High!
[03:37] Koga
    Sawada and Gorizo,
     you and the other first-years
[03:40] Koga
    will prepare to receive our
    riders after the finish line.
[03:42] Koga
    Give them ice water, towels,
     and water bottles.
[03:44] Sawada
    Y-Yes, sir!
[03:46] Gorizo
    High speed!
[03:48] Koga
    Sadatoki, you'll cheer for them.
[03:51] Sadatoki
    Huh? Cheer?
[03:53] Koga
    Our riders are giving everything they have.
[03:55] Koga
    At the very, very end, they draw strength
    from their teammates' support.
[04:01] Koga
    Help them win with your voice!
[04:02] Koga
    With your cheers!
[04:04] Sadatoki
    B-But, I...
[04:07] Koga
    No buts! Do it!
[04:09] Koga
    You're the only one who can!
[04:11] Koga
    It's an important job.
[04:13] Koga
    Push them with your voice.
[04:16] Koga
    Make sure your voice isn't
    drowned out by the others.
[04:18] Sugimoto
    It's okay, Sadatoki.
[04:20] Sugimoto
    You can do it. I know you can.
[04:23] Sugimoto
    Your brother knows you can.
[04:24] Sugimoto
    It's okay. Your voice is
    louder than the others.
[04:32] Sadatoki
    I can do it.
[04:34] Sadatoki
    I can do it.
[04:36] Sadatoki
    I can...
[04:40] ---
    For everyone...
[04:42] Sadatoki
    Understood!

    Sohoku, fight!
SIGN    Tadokoro Bread
[05:01] Tadokoro
    We made it! The leaders aren't here yet!
[05:03] Tadokoro
    What did you think of my driving?
[05:05] Tadokoro
    Looks like we'll get to see
    the finish, Makishima, Kinjou.
[05:10] Makishima
    I-It sucks.
[05:12] Makishima
    My flight was six hours late,
    and then that crazy car ride...
[05:17] Kinjou
    Y-You took a road that wasn't on the map.
[05:21] Kinjou
    I'm impressed, Tadokoro.
[05:23] Makishima
    Don't feel like you have to compliment him.
[05:26] Makishima
    So, this where it is this year.
[05:29] Kinjou
    Yeah. Nikkou City, Tochigi Prefecture.
[05:32] Kinjou
    On the northwest side of Lake Chuzenji
[05:34] Kinjou
    is Senjougahara, a marsh stretching across
     the terrain at 1,400 meters above sea level.
[05:39] Kinjou
    The eruptions of Mount Nantaisan formed a lake
[05:42] Kinjou
    that became a marsh over
    a long period of time.
[05:45] Kinjou
    National Route 120 cuts through Senjougahara.
[05:50] Kinjou
    And the Sanbonmatsu Park
    parking lot gate is
[05:54] Kinjou
    the finish line of day one of
    the Tochigi Inter-High.
[06:00] Makishima
    I haven't felt this tension
    and anticipation in a while.
[06:04] Tadokoro
    Yeah. I can't get enough of this atmosphere.
[06:07] Tadokoro
    Just thinking about it
    sends chills down my spine.
[06:09] Tadokoro
    You can really feel that unique
    sensation of the Inter-High.
[06:14] Kinjou
    You're right.
[06:17] Makishima
    So, who's going to be first?
[06:22] Kinjou
    Imaizumi, as the ace?
[06:25] Tadokoro
    You might be surprised.
[06:28] Tadokoro
    It could be that little red bean.
[06:33] Fan A
    They're entering the flat
    before the finish line!
[06:36] Fan B
    Kyoto Fushimi removed some kind of tape!
[06:38] Naruko
    Midousuji's playing the ace up his sleeve!
[06:42] Midousuji
    Unleashing both legs.
[06:44] Midousuji
    This is the trump card
     I've been saving until now.
[06:53] Midousuji
    You still haven't fallen,
    chicken-headed bean!
[06:57] Naruko
    The road's wide enough!
[06:59] Naruko
    Stay away from me, Gross-suji!
[07:01] Naruko
    I'm on fire now, Midousuji!
[07:03] Naruko
    My blood is boiling!
[07:05] Midousuji
    Then maybe you should go to
    the hospital, chicken-head!
[07:10] Naruko
    I'll go to any hospital,
    as long as it's red and flashy!
[07:15] Midousuji
    Chicken-head...
[07:17] Midousuji
    This little bean has gotten stronger.
[07:21] Midousuji
    He improved his climbing, but he
    hasn't gotten slower on the flats.
[07:24] Midousuji
    If anything, it feels like he's applying
    his climbing muscles to the flats.
[07:31] Midousuji
    Not bad.
[07:32] Midousuji
    Come to think of it, Ishigaki-kun
    mentioned something last winter.
[07:36] (Flashback) Ishigaki
    Naruko-kun might return to racing.
[07:42] (Flashback) Midousuji
    Huh? What makes you say that?
[07:46] (Flashback) Ishigaki
    Midousuji, disappointment
    makes people stronger.
[07:53] Midousuji
    Bring it on.
[07:54] Midousuji
    I'll overthrow your strength and
    wrest the victory from your hands.
[07:59] Both
    One kilometer left!
[08:02] Naruko
    I'm getting chills.
     My hair's standing on end.
[08:05] Naruko
    I'm in a make-or-break race with Midousuji
[08:09] Naruko
    on the flat before the
    Inter-High's finish line.
[08:11] Naruko
    A thousand meters remain!
[08:13] Naruko
    Tons of fans are watching!
[08:16] Naruko
    If this isn't flashy...
[08:19] Naruko
    I don't know what is!
[08:21] Fan
    There are 900 meters left!
[08:23] Fan
    Kyoto Fushimi is pulling ahead!
[08:25] Naruko
    Good, Midousuji. This is the best.
[08:28] Naruko
    I'm burning up. Let's do this.
[08:31] Naruko
    Let's put our lives on the line!
[08:37] Fan
    He's so fast! Sohoku's keeping up!
[08:40] Fan
    They're seriously amazing!
[08:41] Fan
    I can feel their spirit from over here!
[08:44] Fan
    So it's come down to those two.
[08:56] Fan
    The next three have made it up the hill!
[09:01] Kuroda
    How far behind are we?
[09:03] Kuroda
    Three-hundred and fifty meters.
[09:05] Imaizumi
    We're so far behind.
[09:07] Imaizumi
    It'll be hard to catch up from here.
[09:11] Imaizumi
    But Naruko's with him.
[09:13] Imaizumi
    This isn't a bad development for Sohoku!
[09:17] Kuroda
    Damn it.
[09:18] Kuroda
    All the pride Hakone Academy has built up...
[09:21] Kuroda
    Was our riding not good enough?
[09:25] Kuroda
    I got our ace this far.
[09:27] Kuroda
    Me, the Black Cat Deliveryman.
[09:30] Kuroda
    And because of just one stupid
    mistake, the finish line...
[09:34] Kuroda
    If you've got time to think, ride, Yukinori!
[09:38] Kuroda
    Let's go, Takuto!
[09:42] Ashikiba
    It's okay, Yuki-chan.
[09:44] Kuroda
    Huh?
[09:46] Ashikiba
    The two of us can't close this gap.
[09:49] Ashikiba
    Even if the two of you pull,
     we'll never catch up.
[09:53] Ashikiba
    But with the three of us,
     we may be able to reach them.
[10:00] Ashikiba
    There's no point if the ace doesn't
    save his strength for the finish line.
[10:04] Ashikiba
    But unless you're in front of the finish line,
     there's nothing to race for.
[10:11] Ashikiba
    I'll pull.
[10:13] Ashikiba
    We... Hakone Academy has
    nothing left to lose!
[10:25] Imaizumi
    Hakone Academy's ace Ashikiba-san
    is making his move!
[10:32] Imaizumi
    Their ace moved to the front.
[10:34] Imaizumi
    He's helping us catch up
    to Midousuji and Naruko.
[10:40] Imaizumi
    He's fast. He's huge.
[10:42] Imaizumi
    He towers over me,
     and I'm 180 centimeters tall.
[10:46] Imaizumi
    Standing at 202 centimeters,
     he's the tallest man at the race.
[10:50] Imaizumi
    His wind pressure is incredible.
[10:52] Kuroda
    Takuto, is there classical
    music playing inside your head?
[10:58] Ashikiba
    Yes.
[11:00] Ashikiba
    The clichéd Ninth!
[11:03] Ashikiba
    The Ninth Symphony!
[11:09] Kuroda
    Keep it up, Takuto!
[11:12] Fan A
    They're catching up!
[11:14] Fan B
    Hakone Academy's ace is pulling!
[11:16] Fan C
    Only Sohoku and Kyoto Fushimi
    have riders in the lead group!
[11:20] Fan D
    Will they catch up?
[11:21] Fan E
    Their rotation has increased their speed...
[11:25] Fan F
    But there's only one kilometer left!
[11:28] Ashikiba
    We'll catch up. We'll catch up.
[11:31] Ashikiba
    We're slowly closing the gap.
[11:33] Ashikiba
    Yuki-chan carried me this
    far so I could rest.
[11:37] Ashikiba
    The classical music is playing.
[11:39] Ashikiba
    My heart is pounding.
[11:41] Ashikiba
    I never thought I'd get to be in the Inter-High,
     but here I am turning my pedals.
[11:47] Ashikiba
    On top of that, I'm wearing
    Hakone Academy's #1 tag.
[11:52] Ashikiba
    Me, the team's best laundry boy!
SIGN    Club Chores
[11:57] (Flashback) Fukutomi
    What do you want to be?
[12:02] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    The best ri...
[12:07] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    ...rider.
[12:10] (Flashback) Shinkai
    What do you like?
[12:13] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    The piano.
[12:14] (Flashback) Shinkai
    Good.
[12:15] (Flashback) Shinkai
    Use that to ride.
[12:17] (Flashback) Shinkai
    Let it push you forward.
[12:19] Ashikiba
    I finally achieved something.
[12:23] Ashikiba
    But...
[12:25] Ashikiba
    No way. No way.
[12:29] Ashikiba
    Why can't I win?
[12:32] Ashikiba
    I'm wearing a jersey.
[12:33] Ashikiba
    I promised Fukutomi-san I would win.
[12:39] Ashikiba
    In that moment, unable to understand
    the situation, my brain got a flat tire.
[12:45] Ashikiba
    I tried to reset everything.
[12:49] Ashikiba
    I was racing to repay their kindness.
[12:54] Ashikiba
    But I couldn't think anymore.
[12:58] (Flashback) Fan
    He's riding backward! Watch out!
[13:02] Ashikiba
    I betrayed their expectations.
[13:05] (Flashback) Fukutomi
    I'm placing you on house arrest indefinitely.
[13:07] (Flashback) Fukutomi
    I'm not letting you race.
[13:10] (Flashback) Fukutomi
    You won't race at the Inter-High, either.
[13:12] (Flashback) Ashikiba
    I'm sorry.
[13:15] Ashikiba
    It was a dizzying three years.
[13:18] Ashikiba
    A less than laudable three years.
[13:22] Ashikiba
    "Riding backward on the course."
[13:23] Ashikiba
    "Indefinitely suspended from racing."
[13:26] Ashikiba
    I screwed up.
[13:29] Ashikiba
    But my teammates supported me.
[13:32] Ashikiba
    My seniors forgave me.
[13:36] (Flashback) Fukutomi
    Ashikiba, the race for the finish is
    both a physical and mental battle.
[13:43] (Flashback) Fukutomi
    Tell yourself over and over
     that you are the ace.
[13:49] (Flashback) Fukutomi
    That you are strong.
[13:53] Ashikiba
    I am strong!
[13:55] Ashikiba
    So these limbs, this body, this number tag...
[14:00] Ashikiba
    This opportunity doesn't belong to me!
[14:04] Kuroda
    Go, Takuto.
[14:06] Kuroda
    You carried such anguish and pain,
    such hopes to make it this far.
[14:13] Ashikiba
    I'm racing to repay all the people
[14:17] Ashikiba
    who called me the ace!
[14:23] Fan G
    It's the Hakone Academy ace
    Ashikiba's Metronome Dancing!
[14:27] Fan H
    The way he swings his giant body
    back and forth is like a metronome!
[14:33] Fan I
    He's huge!
[14:34] Fan J
    He's fast!
[14:36] Ashikiba
    I am strong!
[14:39] Ashikiba
    I'm catching up!
[14:40] Ashikiba
    I'm catching up to the guys in front!
[14:44] Kuroda
    Switch with me, Takuto!
[14:47] Fan K
    Hakone Academy's Kuroda moved to the front!
[14:50] Fan
    Go, Kuroda!
[14:52] Kuroda
    I'll show you how I pull!
[14:54] Kuroda
    This is Hakone Academy's final effort!
[14:56] Kuroda
    Bend, Cat Legs!
[15:02] Kuroda
    We'll catch up!
[15:03] Kuroda
    Kyoto's Midousuji and Sohoku's Naruko!
[15:09] Imaizumi
    Take it, Naruko!
[15:11] Ashikiba
    I have to...
[15:12] Kuroda
    ...catch up!
[15:13] Nuarko
    It's almost...
[15:14] Midousuji
    ...the finish line!
[15:16] Fan L
    The trailing three are chasing after them!
[15:19] Fan M
    They have the two in front in their sights!
[15:21] Fan N
    Is it a five-man finish line sprint?
[15:24] Fan O
    There are three behind and two in front!
[15:26] Fan O
    They have the numbers advantage!
[15:28] Fan P
    Maybe if there were a thousand
    meters left, but the finish line...
[15:35] Fan P
    ...is 500 meters ahead!
[15:36] Fan P
    They're at a disadvantage!
[15:41] Midousuji
    The running finish.
[15:42] Midousuji
    You're wasting your time, Hakone Academy.
[15:45] Midousuji
    Even if you pool your efforts
    and work your muscles,
[15:51] Midousuji
    this margin at 500 meters remaining...
[15:57] Midousuji
    ...was always part of my calculations!
[16:02] Midousuji
    This chicken-head was the only
    thing I didn't account for.
[16:08] Naruko
    Why are you staring at me
    like that, Midousuji?
[16:12] Naruko
    We're at the finish line.
[16:13] Naruko
    Determination, full power, flashiness...
[16:16] Naruko
    Even men fall for my flashiness!
[16:18] Naruko
    Have you fallen for me, too, Midousuji?
[16:21] Midousuji
    I was just exercising my eyes,
     since they were stinging from all your red,
[16:27] Midousuji
    chicken-head!
[16:29] Midousuji
    Gross!
[16:32] Midousuji
    You're determined to interfere
    with my victory, aren't you?
[16:35] Naruko
    I'm not just interfering! I'm going to win!
[16:38] Midousuji
    You're in the way! Move!
[16:40] Naruko
    You're in the way, idiot!
[16:43] Fan Q
    They're crashing into each
    other before the finish line?
[16:45] Fan R
    Wow!
[16:47] Midousuji
    You're strong.
[16:50] Midousuji
    You really are amazing.
[16:55] Midousuji
    Every time I race against you,
    I have the same thought.
[17:01] Midousuji
    If you had stayed in Kansai for high school
    and joined Kyoto Fushimi with me...
[17:09] Midousuji
    If we'd been on the same team—and maybe
    it's weird for me to say this now...
[17:16] Midousuji
    But I always think of how we could've
    been the best of friends, Naruko-kun.
[17:25] Midousuji
    Don't you agree?
[17:29] Midousuji
    The two of us...
[17:32] Naruko
    You finished telling lies, Midousuji?
[17:36] Naruko
    Is this bluff an attempt to distract me
     with warm fuzzy feelings
[17:39] Naruko
    and kill your opponent's tension
    before the finish line?
[17:43] Naruko
    You'll do anything to win.
[17:46] Naruko
    You really are something, Midousuji.
[17:48] Naruko
    But you won't fool me!
[17:50] Naruko
    You don't think we'd be best friends!
[17:56] Midousuji
    You're right! Not in the slightest!
[17:59] Midousuji
    I've never even considered it!
[18:03] Imaizumi
    So that's what you meant, Naruko.
[18:06] Imaizumi
    The day you returned from Osaka,
    you said you raced someone.
[18:13] Sohoku
    Wow, takoyaki.
[18:13] (Flashback) Imaizumi
    Who did you race against?
[18:15] (Flashback) Naruko
    Nobody, really.
[18:16] (Flashback) Naruko
    It wasn't someone you know.
[18:18] Sakamichi
    Thanks for the food.
[18:19] Imaizumi
    But your opponent was...
[18:23] Imaizumi
    Midousuji!
[18:26] Imaizumi
    That's why you kept your eyes on him
[18:28] Imaizumi
    during the confusion earlier
    and raced after him.
[18:33] Imaizumi
    And now you're side by side,
    racing for the finish line.
[18:37] Imaizumi
    You should've told me if it
    was that important, Naruko.
[18:43] (Flashback) Imaizumi
    I'm the one who told you
    to become an all-rounder!
[18:47] (Flashback) Naruko
    I made the decision!
[18:49] (Flashback) Naruko
    Let's race, hotshot.
[18:51] (Flashback) Imaizumi
    What?
[18:52] (Flashback) Naruko
    We'll pull ahead of Hakone Academy
     before the finish line.
[18:55] (Flashback) Imaizumi
    I see.
[18:55] (Flashback) Naruko
    Whoever crosses the finish
    line first is the ace!
[18:59] (Flashback) Imaizumi
    Bring it on!
[19:01] Imaizumi
    So that's how it is.
[19:04] Imaizumi
    Go, Naruko.
[19:06] Imaizumi
    If I catch up to you just
    before the finish line...
[19:12] Imaizumi
    I'll push your back as hard as I can!
[19:17] Imaizumi
    Today, you're the ace, Naruko!
[19:20] Imaizumi
    Take the finish line!
[19:22] Fan S
    The leaders have crossed the 400 meter line!
[19:25] Fan T
    Sohoku's Naruko is in front!
[19:28] Midousuji
    He refuses to let me have it.
[19:33] Midousuji
    Then I don't have a choice.
[19:36] Midousuji
    I'll have to fly before the finish line!
[19:41] Naruko
    Fly?
[19:43] Naruko
    Is Midousuji breaking out
    his true trump card?
[19:48] Fan T
    The others have crossed the 400-meter line!
[19:50] Fan U
    Go, Hakone Academy!
[19:54] Kuroda
    We're chasing as fast as we can,
    but they're going at top speed, too.
[19:57] Kuroda
    It's not that easy to close this gap.
[20:00] Kuroda
    But! But!
[20:02] Kuroda
    It's not easy, but...
[20:06] Kuroda
    There's nothing I can't do!
[20:16] Fan V
    Just 300 meters remaining!
[20:17] Fan V
    They're closing the gap!
[20:19] Fan W
    Will they stay ahead? Will they catch up?
[20:22] Midousuji
    I already said they can't catch up.
[20:25] Midousuji
    Actually, if the course were straight,
    they might have.
[20:36] Midousuji
    But there's a difficult corner leading
    the course from National Route 120
[20:40] Midousuji
    to the first day's finish line
    at the large parking lot.
[20:47] Midousuji
    Two of them.
[20:52] Naruko
    I'm entering the corner first!
[20:56] Naruko
    I can see it.
[20:58] Naruko
    It's the finish line gate!
[21:01] Midousuji
    Time to fly.
[21:05] Midousuji
    When insects have oversaturated an area...
[21:14] Midousuji
    They metamorphosize wings,
    so they can fly to new locations!
[21:22] Naruko
    We're in the middle of a corner, Midousuji!
[21:25] Naruko
    You're going to do that here?
[21:29] Midousuji
    This... is my...
[21:34] Midousuji
    Metamorphosis!
[23:13] Tadokoro
    Makishima's late.
[23:16] Kinjou
    Yeah.
[23:19] Tadokoro
    It's hot.
[23:22] Kinjou
    Yeah.
SIGN    Six Hours Later
[23:29] Tadokoro
    Kinjou, have you gotten tanner?
[23:32] Kinjou
    You think so?
