[00:07] Naruko
What'd you want to talk about, Hotshot?
[00:11] Imaizumi
You must've noticed, too.
[00:14] Imaizumi
It's about that.
[00:17] Imaizumi
Since Makishima-san left and Tadokoro-san
and Kinjou-san stopped coming to practice,
[00:22] Imaizumi
we've started practicing with
just Teshima-san and Aoyagi-san.
[00:27] Imaizumi
You must feel it, too. Keenly.
[00:31] Imaizumi
The huge size of the hole
left by the third-years.
[00:41] Naruko
Not really.
[00:42] Imaizumi
It's not Teshima-san and Aoyagi-san's fault.
[00:45] Imaizumi
They've gotten more than strong enough.
[00:48] Imaizumi
But the reality is our
practices have gotten weaker
[00:50] Imaizumi
than when the third-years were around.
[00:54] Imaizumi
We experienced it firsthand
at this year's Inter-High.
[00:57] Imaizumi
Its fierceness, its level, its brutality.
[01:01] Imaizumi
At this rate...
[01:04] Imaizumi
We can't win next year.
[01:07] Imaizumi
Not even a single stage.
SIGN Tadokoro Jin
SIGN Imaizumi Shunsuke
[01:10] Imaizumi
Even the sprint and mountain tags
could fall out of our reach.
[01:19] Naruko
What are we supposed to do, then?
[01:21] Naruko
All we can do is practice.
[01:23] Imaizumi
Naruko...
[01:25] Imaizumi
You should become an all-rounder like me.
[01:29] Imaizumi
Abandon the sprint.
[01:30] Naruko
Hotshot, who do you think you're talking to?
[01:33] Imaizumi
Cry all you want, but the
third-years aren't coming back.
[01:37] Imaizumi
We have to change.
[01:39] Naruko
Are you stupid? I'm the Speedman
of Naniwa, Naruko Shoukichi!
[01:43] Imaizumi
Our team doesn't have enough riders who
can aim for the finish line right now.
[01:48] Imaizumi
Road racing is a race to
reach the finish line.
[01:53] Imaizumi
If you start working on it now,
you'll be ready by the Inter-High.
[01:56] Naruko
What?
[01:57] Imaizumi
Spend less time practicing
on flats and climb.
[02:00] Imaizumi
You need to change your style completely.
[02:05] Naruko
I can't do that.
[02:06] Naruko
No way. I refuse.
[02:08] Naruko
Besides, we're classmates.
I don't take orders from you.
[02:12] Imaizumi
It's for the team. It's so we can win.
[02:14] Imaizumi
You already showed a glimpse
of that at the Inter-High.
[02:19] Imaizumi
You climbed despite being a sprinter.
[02:21] Imaizumi
That's not something a normal rider can do.
[02:24] Imaizumi
You can climb. You have
the right feel for it.
[02:26] Imaizumi
Your body is light, too.
[02:27] Imaizumi
You already have a keen nose for the goal.
[02:30] Imaizumi
Do it.
[02:35] Naruko
I can't.
[02:36] Naruko
I can't let the quiet one pass me now.
[02:40] Naruko
Sorry, Hotshot.
[02:42] Naruko
I'm a pure sprinter.

I'm nervous.
[02:55] Boy
I know. I'll use this to relax.
[03:00] Boy
Okay, I'm ready.
[03:02] Boy
Ready, and...
[03:03] Boy
Thanks for the food!
[03:10] Teshima
We had an unexpected visitor.
[03:12] Teshima
A local middle school student
came to watch us practice.
[03:14] Teshima
He didn't realize the door was locked
and pulled as hard as he could.
[03:18] Aoyagi
Rice Boy...
[03:21] Sugimoto
You're the one who broke
our legendary club's door?
[03:25] Boy
Teru-chan, I'm here.
[03:28] Sakamichi
He's huge!
[03:29] Sugimoto
Sadatoki!
[03:31] Sakamichi
What?
[03:32] Aoyagi
You know him, Sugimoto?
[03:34] Sugimoto
Yes. Can you introduce yourself, Sadatoki?
[03:38] Sadatoki
Yeah, Teru-chan.
[03:40] Sadatoki
I'm studying to get into Sohoku!
[03:43] Sadatoki
If I pass the exam, I hope
to join the bicycle club!
[03:46] Sadatoki
My name is Sugimoto Sadatoki!
[03:49] Teshima
Sugimoto?
[03:51] Sadatoki
My dream is to race with
my brother Teru-chan!
[03:54] Sakamichi
Y-You're Sugimoto-kun's younger brother?
[03:57] Sadatoki
One, two.
[03:58] Sadatoki
One, two. One, two.
[04:01] Sugimoto
Go, Sadatoki!
[04:03] Sugimoto
Go, go!
[04:05] Sugimoto
Strong, isn't he?
[04:08] Sakamichi
Th-That's amazing.
[04:10] Sadatoki
Um, are you Onoda-san?
[04:12] Sakamichi
Yes.
[04:13] Sadatoki
My brother's told me all about you.
[04:17] Sadatoki
I'm a huge fan of yours.
[04:19] Sakamichi
Huh? What?!
[04:21] Sadatoki
Onoda-san, you're small.
Far smaller than I imagined.
[04:25] Sadatoki
But you're strong. You're so cool.
[04:28] Sakamichi
Oh, I'm not...
[04:30] Sadatoki
If I get accepted by Sohoku
and get into the bicycle club,
[04:34] Sadatoki
I want to become an
incredible rider like you.
[04:40] Sakamichi
Yeah, g-good luck.
[04:42] Sadatoki
Thank you!
[04:45] Friend
I can't believe you have someone
who wants to join the club already.
[04:48] Friend
The bicycle club's all set.
[04:51] Friend
Miki?
[04:53] Miki
Sorry, yeah. You're right.
[04:57] Sugimoto
Shall we get practice started, then?
[05:00] Sugimoto
We're training on Minegayama
today, right, Teshima-san?
[05:02] Sugimoto
Sadatoki's been wanting
to ride with you, Onoda.
[05:05] Sakamichi
What?
[05:06] Imaizumi
I'm against it.
[05:10] Imaizumi
I've been listening.
[05:11] Imaizumi
Hey, big boy. Ride this.
[05:15] Both
A th-three-drum roller?
[05:18] Imaizumi
It's a test. If you can't ride this,
I won't let you participate in our practice.
[05:22] Sugimoto
You can't be serious.
[05:24] Sugimoto
Sadatoki's never rode one before.
[05:26] Imaizumi
Every day of practice counts
for us. We're desperate.
[05:31] Imaizumi
We can't give you special treatment
just because you're someone's brother.
[05:35] Imaizumi
You have only one chance.
[05:36] Imaizumi
If you fail, leave.
[05:38] Sakamichi
Imaizumi-kun.
[05:39] Sugimoto
But it's hard to balance
on three-drum rollers...
[05:42] Sugimoto
At least give him a few chances.
[05:47] Imaizumi
Can he succeed with only one chance?
[05:50] Imaizumi
In road racing, that's an important factor.
[05:55] Imaizumi
Onoda did it.
[06:08] Imaizumi
Huh.
[06:09] Sugimoto
Well, that was easy.
[06:12] Teshima
We can afford to take him to
one practice to see how he does.
[06:18] Imaizumi
Yes, sir.
[06:19] Teshima
So, how good is he on a bike?
[06:22] Sugimoto
You mean Sadatoki? He's fine.
[06:25] Sugimoto
After all, I've taught him everything
I know about road racing.
[06:34] Imaizumi
He's so slow.
[06:35] Imaizumi
He's strong enough to lift a mommy bike,
but he's a slow sprinter.
[06:40] Teshima
Maybe it's his form.
[06:42] Imaizumi
His form is awful. It's just like Sugimoto's.
[06:45] Imaizumi
It's inefficient.
[06:47] Imaizumi
He may have been good enough to ride on
the roller, but he's no good on a bike.
[06:50] Sakamichi
Wait, Imaizumi-kun.
[06:53] Sakamichi
Sadatoki-kun's strength could be climbing.
[06:59] Imaizumi
Looks like you were wrong.
[07:01] Imaizumi
It's another exact copy.
[07:04] Sakamichi
Sadatoki-kun, you can do it.
[07:06] Sakamichi
I mean, when you're climbing, uh...
[07:10] Sadatoki
Yes, sir. What am I supposed to do?
[07:13] Imaizumi
He's wasting his time.
[07:14] Imaizumi
Let's go, Teshima-san.
[07:17] Imaizumi
If there's anything he's specialized at,
it's being in perfect sync with his brother.
[07:23] (Flashback) Sugimoto
Let's go.
[07:25] Teshima
Synchronization?
[07:29] Imaizumi
Maybe this is how they felt.
[07:32] Imaizumi
As younger members join the team,
[07:35] Imaizumi
you pray for just a handful
you can use at the Inter-High.
[07:43] Imaizumi
Then your intentions just might reach them.
[07:46] Imaizumi
It's a crushing, almost wishful feeling.
[07:52] Imaizumi
Is that how you felt, Kinjou-san,
Tadokoro-san, Makishima-san?
[07:58] Imaizumi
I guess I had hoped for more.
[08:02] Imaizumi
Honestly, I'm disappointed
by our current situation.
[08:06] Imaizumi
Let's go, Onoda.
[08:08] Imaizumi
Unfortunately, we have to leave them behind.
[08:10] Imaizumi
We don't have any more time for them.
[08:12] Both
What?
[08:13] Imaizumi
We have things we have to do today.
[08:17] Imaizumi
We're facing the entire country.
[08:26] Sadatoki
Thanks for the food.
[08:27] Sadatoki
No, wait. I mean thank you.
[08:30] Sadatoki
I had fun riding with you, Onoda-san.
[08:34] Sugimoto
It's okay. I'll ride with Sadatoki.
[08:40] Sakamichi
Sorry I couldn't do anything for you.
[08:49] Teshima
Imaizumi, do you have some time to spare?
[08:51] Teshima
Maybe about three minutes.
[08:53] Imaizumi
Teshima-san?
[08:54] Teshima
Go ride with Rice Boy for three minutes.
[08:58] Imaizumi
No, thank you. We've already
reached a conclusion.
[09:01] Teshima
Are you sure?
[09:03] Teshima
Unlike his brother, he's big and powerful.
[09:07] Teshima
He even had a good enough sense
of balance to ride on the roller.
[09:10] Teshima
But he was slow on a bike. Why?
[09:13] Imaizumi
Because of his form.
He's copying his brother's form.
[09:18] Imaizumi
Sugimoto's form makes him lose power.
[09:21] Imaizumi
Without power, you get left
behind in road racing.
[09:24] Imaizumi
That's why he always falls behind.
[09:27] Teshima
Then what if his form were improved?
[09:29] Imaizumi
Then... No, it can't be fixed that quickly.
[09:33] Imaizumi
At the very least, not in three minutes.
[09:35] Teshima
Are you sure? Couldn't you do it?
[09:39] Teshima
You said he had the power to synchronize.
[09:44] Teshima
Go test it out. It means he has potential.
[09:48] Imaizumi
Potential?
[09:50] Teshima
Imaizumi, isn't that how
you brought Team Sohoku...
[09:56] Teshima
its top-class ace climber?
[10:01] Imaizumi
Onoda...
[10:06] Sakamichi
Huh? Imaizumi-kun?
[10:08] Sadatoki
Imaizumi-san?
[10:10] Imaizumi
Big boy, you get one chance.
[10:12] Imaizumi
Forget everything your brother
taught you about road racing.
[10:16] Sugimoto
What are you talking about?
[10:20] Imaizumi
Copy that small bespectacled guy's form
and do your best to catch up to him.
[10:27] Sadatoki
My idol Onoda-san's form?
[10:30] Sugimoto
He should be able to handle that.
Sadatoki's a fast learner.
[10:36] Sugimoto
And Sadatoki's watched videos
of the first-year race
[10:39] Sugimoto
and our training camp over and over.
[10:43] Sadatoki
Onoda-san's...
[10:45] Sadatoki
Onoda-san...
[10:46] Imaizumi
The pressure changed. Is he...
[10:49] Sadatoki
Onoda-san!
[10:54] Sadatoki
Onoda-san!
[10:57] Sakamichi
H-How?
[11:00] Sadatoki
I-I caught up.
[11:04] Sakamichi
Sadatoki-kun!
[11:06] Sugimoto
Are you okay, Sadatoki?
[11:08] Imaizumi
It was only for a moment,
but he copied his form perfectly.
[11:12] Imaizumi
He succeeded twice with only
a single chance each time.
[11:16] Imaizumi
Was it a coincidence? If it wasn't, then...
[11:19] Sadatoki
Thanks for the food, Onoda-san.
[11:21] Sakamichi
Oh, it's fine.
[11:22] Sadatoki
Thanks for the food.
[11:23] Sakamichi
No, really. Thank you.
[11:25] Sadatoki
Thank you.
[11:26] Teshima
Smile, Imaizumi.
[11:28] Teshima
You're supposed to praise your
juniors when they do well.
[11:35] Sadatoki
Thanks for the food.
[11:35] Sakamichi
Really, it's okay.
[11:37] Imaizumi
Rice Boy.
[11:39] Sadatoki
Yes?
[11:41] Imaizumi
G-Good job.
[11:44] Sakamichi
Imaizumi-kun, what's wrong with you?
[11:46] Sugimoto
I-Imaizumi is making a conflicted face!
[11:49] Imaizumi
I can't do it. I don't
compliment people often.
[11:54] Sadatoki
Thanks for the food.
[11:56] Imaizumi
Uh, I...
[12:05] Naruko
Thanks for staying late.
[12:07] Teshima
What did you want to talk about?
[12:10] Naruko
Could I take time off
practice over the holiday?
[12:15] Naruko
I'm having doubts about what's right
for me and the path I should take.
[12:21] Naruko
I'm sorry. It's only a possibility, but...
[12:26] Naruko
Could I quit being a sprinter?
[12:34] Teshima
Quit being a sprinter?
[12:37] Naruko
It's only a maybe. I'm just
saying it's a possibility.
[12:43] Teshima
That's alarming. It affects our team.
[12:48] Teshima
Tadokoro-san passed on the role
of sprinter to you.
[12:53] Teshima
Your abilities leave nothing to be desired.
[12:55] Teshima
What is there to worry about?
[13:00] Naruko
I'm sorry! Please don't ask,
just give me the three days off!
[13:03] Naruko
I'm thinking of going home to Osaka.
[13:06] Naruko
I want to return to where
I started and think things over.
[13:09] Naruko
I want to find my own answer.
[13:13] Teshima
You're not too smart, are you?
[13:15] Teshima
You've been too stubborn
[13:17] Teshima
to ask Tadokoro-san about whatever's
bothering you, haven't you?
[13:22] Naruko
I...
[13:23] Teshima
It means it's too heavy a
concern to discuss with others.
[13:27] Teshima
Naruko, that sounds just like you.
[13:30] Teshima
You can go until you're satisfied.
[13:34] Naruko
I'm back to the city where
I was born and raised, Osaka!
SIGN Naruko Snacks
SIGN Naruko Shoukichi-kun
Congratulations on your team's victory!
Celebrating a triumphant return!!
[13:54] Naruko
I guess I'll go to where it all started.
[14:03] Naruko
I might be able to find something here.
[14:08] Naruko
This brings back memories.
It's been six months.
[14:12] Naruko
That sign's the finish line.
[14:15] Naruko
The fastest guys in Osaka gather here.
[14:23] Naruko
I learned to sprint by racing here every day.
[14:28] Naruko
They're so cool.
[14:31] Naruko
This is where I first
encountered road racing!
[14:34] Naruko
My home course!
[14:36] Naruko
This is where everything started!
[14:39] Naruko
One lap is 600 meters of 250-meter
straights and one turn.
[14:44] Naruko
Fighting against and
utilizing the sea breeze,
[14:47] Naruko
I used tricks, instinct, and
technique to seize victory!
[14:51] Man 1
He's fast!
[14:51] Man 2
His cornering and speed are incredible!
[14:54] Man 3
That jersey...
[14:56] Man 3
That's Chiba's Sohoku!
[14:57] Man 1
What? You mean this year's
Inter-High winners?
[15:00] Man 3
I heard a red-headed sprinter
from Osaka joined Chiba's Sohoku.
[15:05] Man 1
The sprinter Naruko Shoukichi!
[15:08] Naruko
Sprinter...
[15:11] Naruko
Fast, flashy, and speeding
through corners at top speed.
[15:14] Naruko
Racing past the scenery
faster than everyone else.
[15:17] Naruko
A world of glorious make-or-break contests.
[15:21] Naruko
That's what it means to be a sprinter!
[15:22] Naruko
It's the world I admired! The path I believed in!
[15:27] Naruko
I can't abandon this that easily.
[15:30] Naruko
My red blood is screaming for it!
[15:34] Kakimoto
Let's race, Sohoku.
How does three laps sound?
[15:39] Kakimoto
I'm Handai High School's sprinter,
Kakimoto Ryudai.
[15:44] Kakimoto
They call me the Dragon
of Rokko's Winter Winds.
[15:46] Kakimoto
I'm undefeated on this course.
[15:50] Naruko
Bring it on. Let's do three laps.
[15:52] Naruko
If I fail here, I'll have failed
as a sprinter. I'll give it up.
[15:56] Kakimoto
Ready, go!
[15:59] Naruko
You won't beat me!
[16:02] Naruko
The answer can always be found in battle.
[16:05] Man 1
First lap!
[16:06] Man 1
It's a race between the red-haired Sohoku
rider Naruko and Handai High's Kakimoto!
[16:10] Naruko
It seems like it's true this Kakimoto
guy is undefeated on this course.
[16:15] Naruko
He's keeping up with me.
[16:17] Man 1
Third lap! One lap left!
[16:21] Kakimoto
Sohoku's Naruko, your sprinting
and cornering are incredible.
[16:25] Kakimoto
It's no wonder you won nationals.
[16:27] Kakimoto
But this is an unofficial race.
Anything goes on this different kind of track.
[16:35] Kakimoto
I'll show you why they really call me the
Night Dragon of Rokko's Winter Winds.
[16:42] Man 1
There it is!
[16:43] Man 2
The Night Dragon Kakimoto special!
[16:47] Kakimoto
Surprised? Of course you are.
[16:49] Kakimoto
Not only am I fast, but I glow!
[16:53] Kakimoto
Like a nightscape of Kobe seen from
Mt. Rokko, I'm worth a million dollars.
[16:59] Kakimoto
Why Kobe when I'm from Osaka?
They're close enough.
[17:02] Kakimoto
Don't worry about the details.
[17:05] Naruko
That's so cool!
[17:08] Kakimoto
Now it's full speed ahead!
It's a straight line to the finish line!
[17:11] Naruko
Oh, whoops. Calm down.
[17:14] Naruko
I'm in the middle of the race.
[17:15] Naruko
This is no time to be admiring his bike.
[17:17] Man 1
Naruko's fallen behind!
[17:18] Naruko
No matter the circumstances, I'll win.
[17:20] Naruko
I learned this feeling during the Inter-High.
[17:25] Naruko
Move, idiot! The flashiest man here...
[17:31] Naruko
is me, Naruko Shoukichi! Yeah!
[17:36] Man 1
What was that? Amazing!
[17:38] Man 1
He stretched so far ahead
before the finish line!
[17:40] Man 2
That's how the champions, Sohoku, sprint!
[17:45] Daitsubu
If I beat you, I'll be top-class.
[17:48] Daitsubu
Sohoku's Naruko, I'm your next opponent.
[17:52] Daitsubu
It's been a while.
[17:54] Daitsubu
I'm Nara Sanri Academy's white-hot
sprinter, Daitsubu Takeshi.
[17:58] Daitsubu
I'll only turn the other cheek thrice.
[18:00] Naruko
Who the hell is he?
[18:03] Daitsubu
This is my bike.
[18:06] Naruko
That's...
[18:07] Daitsubu
They're popular in Europe. It's a track bike.
[18:12] Daitsubu
Even the gears have been removed.
[18:13] Daitsubu
It's light. It's strong.
[18:15] Daitsubu
It's a bike made exclusively
for riding flats.
[18:19] Daitsubu
The hollowed out tube...
[18:21] Daitsubu
The super-light handles
made for track racing...
[18:24] Daitsubu
Do you know what happens
[18:26] Daitsubu
when I combine them with my barrel-like legs,
which were made for sprinting?
[18:31] Daitsubu
In scientific reactions, when you combine
pure reagents, you get miraculous results.
[18:37] Daitsubu
Come, Sohoku sprinter! It's a three-lap race!
[18:42] Daitsubu
I'll only turn the other cheek thrice!
[18:44] Naruko
Is that your catchphrase?
[18:45] Naruko
Jeez, these freaks keep
coming one after another.
[18:50] Naruko
But I can tell they all love bikes.
[18:54] Naruko
I'm the same way.
[18:56] Naruko
So I'll sprint as hard as I can.
[18:59] Naruko
I think he said something about purity.
[19:03] Naruko
Sorry, but Naruko Shoukichi is a
natural-born 100 percent pure sprinter!
[19:12] Naruko
You're pretty fast.
[19:14] Naruko
I'm just unthinkably fast.
[19:18] Naruko
I excel at straight lines
as I ride with flair!
[19:21] Naruko
I'm the prodigal speedster!
[19:30] Naruko
Uh-oh, I've gotten stronger.
[19:34] Naruko
I'm faster than I was
when I used to ride here.
[19:37] Naruko
I can tell I'm using my muscles,
and my speed's on a whole different level.
[19:42] Naruko
Did riding in the Inter-High make me grow?
[19:46] Naruko
Was it my friendly rivalry with
the old man and Aoyagi-san?
[19:49] Naruko
Sorry, hotshot. I can't give up this gift.
[19:54] Naruko
My next race will be my last one.
If I win, I'll keep riding as a sprinter.
[20:03] Midousuji
Shall we race?
[20:06] Naruko
M-Midousuji? Kyoto Fushimi's ace?
[20:11] Man 1
Isn't that Midousuji, who won the first day's
race and two number tags on the second?
[20:16] Man 2
He beat Hakone Academy's ace
sprinter, #4 Shinkai, in a sprint!
[20:23] Midousuji
I came to Osaka since I was bored
[20:27] Midousuji
and heard a gross freak in
a yellow jersey was here.
[20:31] Naruko
Thanks for the compliment.
Does that mean you came to see me?
[20:35] Naruko
Thank you.
[20:37] Naruko
My last opponent is him of all people?
[20:42] Naruko
It's just another race.
[20:44] Midousuji
Since it's a 600-meter track, how does
a ten-lap, six-kilometer race sound?
[20:51] Naruko
Sure. It's my last race.
[20:53] Naruko
Give me everything you've got.
[20:55] Midousuji
It's your last race. Make sure
you squeeze out every last drop.
[21:01] Midousuji
But it wouldn't be fun to just race.
[21:05] Midousuji
Why don't we each bet something important?
[21:16] Naruko
Sure. I'd already decided for myself,
no matter who I was racing...
[21:22] Naruko
If I win the next race,
I'll keep riding as a sprinter.
[21:26] Naruko
If I lose...
[21:29] Naruko
I'll quit sprinting!
[23:08] Sugimoto
Imaizumi, you dropped something.
SIGN Love Hime
The Three-Hour Extra-Dimensional Labyrinth
[23:12] Sugimoto
Huh?
[23:14] Imaizumi
Uh, that's...
[23:15] Sugimoto
Oh, don't worry. I don't have any
problem with this kind of thing.
[23:20] Sugimoto
As a kid, I used to watch this stuff
all the time with my brother.
[23:23] Sugimoto
I'm an experienced anime watcher.
[23:26] Teshima
Well, we all have our own tastes.
[23:28] Imaizumi
It's not that!
[23:31] Sakamichi
Imaizumi-kun, good morning.
[23:33] Sakamichi
The other day when we went to Love Hime—
[23:34] Imaizumi
Not right now!
