**[01:33] Naruko**
Hakone Academy's been attackin'
non-stop since we entered the climb.
**[01:39] Teshima**
Yeah.
**[01:40] Naruko**
Little Shinkai started
them off with a splash,
**[01:44] Naruko**
then their commander Kuroda-san
attacked, then Manami.
**[01:47] Naruko**
And just now, it was the lanky Ashikiba.
**[01:50] Teshima**
It's an all-out attack.
**[01:52] Teshima**
Are you struggling, Naruko?
**[01:53] Naruko**
Who do you think you're
talkin' to? This is nothin'.
**[01:56] Naruko**
I'm the flashy genius from
Naniwa, Naruko Shoukichi.
**[02:03] Teshima**
You're right. You guys have stopped all
of Hakone Academy's attacks so far.
**[02:08] Teshima**
Things are going well, more or
less according to plan.
**[02:12] Teshima**
You guys are doing great.
**[02:14] Teshima**
The first climb will be ending soon.
**[02:16] Teshima**
From there, we'll be on the highland road.
**[02:20] Teshima**
For 2.5 kilometers, the elevation
will remain mostly level.
**[02:23] Teshima**
We'll be able to rest until the next climb.

**[02:26] Teshima**
Thank you, Naruko.
**[02:28] Naruko**
Huh?
**[02:29] Teshima**
For becoming an all-rounder.
**[02:33] Naruko**
Where'd this come from?
**[02:35] Teshima**
I'm grateful we have four
riders at this moment.
**[02:41] Teshima**
Not only that, but you've got
a nose for the finish line.
**[02:44] Teshima**
You could go for the goal.
**[02:48] Naruko**
I'll seize just about anythin'
if you order me to do it.
**[02:51] Naruko**
Should I put my arms around
Onoda-kun and hotshot's shoulders
**[02:55] Naruko**
and hold their hands so the three
of us can finish at the same time?
**[02:59] Imaizumi**
Whoa, whoa...
**[03:01] Sakamichi**
Naruko-kun, isn't that
what you said last year?
**[03:04] (Flashback) Naruko**
I think it'd feel amazing
**[03:07] (Flashback) Naruko**
if we finished first all
three days together.
**[03:13] Sakamichi**
You were still holding onto that promise.
**[03:18] Imaizumi**
Have you been hiding that until now?
**[03:22] Imaizumi**
This year you became an all-rounder.
**[03:25] Imaizumi**
You can even climb mountains.
**[03:27] Imaizumi**
Are you saying there's real
potential for that now?
**[03:31] Naruko**
I'll miraculously pull off the world's first
three-man finish in spectacular fashion.
**[03:38] Imaizumi**
That's ridiculous. But I like
the sound of it, Naruko.
**[03:42] Sakamichi**
Naruko-kun...
**[03:45] Teshima**
What's this pressure coming
off of these three?
**[03:47] Teshima**
Their morale is rising, unbelievably so.
**[03:52] Teshima**
This may be the extra strength we need
to stand against Hakone Academy.
**[04:00] Teshima**
Hakone Academy is making their move.
**[04:02] Teshima**
Who's attacking? Will it be Kuroda or Manami?
**[04:05] Teshima**
The first climb is ending soon.
**[04:07] Teshima**
We'll enter the flats, and...
**[04:08] Teshima**
No, wait. The flats?
**[04:11] Teshima**
Why do I feel like something's wrong?
**[04:14] Teshima**
I may have badly misinterpreted
the situation.
**[04:18] Teshima**
Imaizumi, accelerate.
**[04:19] Teshima**
Bring us next to Hakone Academy right away.
**[04:22] Imaizumi**
What? What do you mean?
**[04:24] Teshima**
How did I not notice when it's so simple?
**[04:27] Teshima**
There's only one man Hakone
Academy would send now.
**[04:30] Teshima**
It's their sprinter Izumida.
**[04:33] Teshima**
He's going to accelerate and
pull his team along with him.
**[04:35] Imaizumi**
Izumida-san!
**[04:37] Sakamichi**
What?
**[04:37] Naruko**
Lashes, huh?
**[04:38] Teshima**
Damn.
**[04:40] Teshima**
I thought the flats up ahead would
be an opportunity for us to rest.
**[04:44] Teshima**
But from the start, Hakone Academy
was planning to use them to attack.
**[04:50] Teshima**
That's why they brought a
sprinter into the mountains.
**[04:57] Imaizumi**
He's so fast.
**[04:58] Teshima**
What's important here is not falling
behind during this first climb.
**[05:03] Kuroda**
Go! Scatter the enemy.
**[05:06] Kuroda**
It's the flats you've been waiting for.
**[05:09] Kuroda**
Zip up your jersey...
**[05:11] Kruoda**
Izumida Touichiro.
**[05:14] Izumida**
Of course, Yuki.
**[05:16] Izumida**
I zip up my jersey all the way to the top...
**[05:22] Izumida**
whenever I get serious.
**[05:26] Izumida**
Abs, abs, abs!
**[05:28] Teshima**
Imaizumi, don't fall behind.
Go after him at full speed.
**[05:31] Imaizumi**
Yes, sir.
**[05:34] Kuroda**
Honestly, this is pointless, Sohoku.
**[05:36] Kuroda**
You can't catch up.
**[05:38] Kuroda**
Our Izumida is a super sprinter.
**[05:42] Kuroda**
And Touichirou's putting his entire
being into sprinting right now.
**[05:42] Izumida**
Abs, abs, abs!
**[05:48] Kuroda**
Sorry. Thank you, Touichirou.
**[05:52] (Flashback) Izumida**
A change of plans?
**[05:54] (Flashback) Izumida**
You want to use me in the mountains?
**[05:56] (Flashback) Kuroda**
That's right.
**[05:57] (Flashback) Kuroda**
Tomorrow, every team will bring out
their sprinters before the climb begins.
**[06:02] (Flashback) Kuroda**
But there are 2.5 kilometers of flats
before the climb at the hot springs.
**[06:08] (Flashback) Kuroda**
Normally teams would consider
it a place to rest,
**[06:11] (Flashback) Kuroda**
but I'd like to attack there instead.
**[06:13] (Flashback) Izumida**
Wait. That would mean
the flats before that...
**[06:16] (Flashback) Kuroda**
Will be handled by Doubashi alone.
**[06:21] (Flashback) Doubashi**
I don't mind, Izumida-san.
**[06:23] (Flashback) Izumida**
Doubashi...
**[06:25] (Flashback) Kuroda**
I want to establish a solid lead.
**[06:27] (Flashback) Izumida**
Yuki...
**[06:28] (Flashback) Izumida**
With that plan, I'd have to climb
the initial mountains with the team.
**[06:32] (Flashback) Izumida**
I'm best on flats.
**[06:34] (Flashback) Izumida**
It could be a risky gamble.
**[06:37] (Flashback) Kuroda**
No, I actually think you
might be able to pull it off.
**[06:42] (Flashback) Kuroda**
Not only have you ridden with
Hakone Academy for three years,
**[06:46] (Flashback) Kuroda**
but you've also carried on the role of
captain while being a sprinter.
**[06:51] (Flashback) Kuroda**
I know because I've always been watching you.
**[06:53] (Flashback) Kuroda**
You're probably three times
stronger than you think.
**[06:57] (Flashback) Kuroda**
You're probably three times
stronger than you think.
**[06:59] Izumida**
Yuki...
**[07:00] Izumida**
Abs, Yuki!
**[07:03] Izumida**
Yuki, we've been together
since we were little.
**[07:06] Izumida**
I secretly admired the way you
elegantly handled any sport.
**[07:12] Izumida**
I was overjoyed when you said you'd come to
Hakone Academy and ride bicycles with me.
**[07:17] Izumida**
But while working our hardest,
I eventually surpassed you.
**[07:27] (Flashback) Izumida**
Don't worry, Yuki.
**[07:30] (Flashback) Izumida**
You have a lot of potential.
**[07:33] (Flashback) Izumida**
Even if you don't make it
this year, next year—
**[07:34] (Flashback) Kuroda**
Don't try to cheer me up!
**[07:37] (Flashback) Kuroda**
You're lucky you get to race.
**[07:40] (Flashback) Kuroda**
Go ride your heart out at the Inter-High.
**[07:45] (Flashback) Izumida**
Yuki...
**[07:47] (Flashback) Kuroda**
They called me a genius, but I...
**[07:55] (Flashback) Kuroda**
I'm sorry.
**[07:57] (Flashback) Kuroda**
I know grabbing you by the
collar won't change anything.
**[08:04] (Flashback) Kuroda**
I know.
**[08:06] (Flashback) Kuroda**
Touichirou, I'm frustrated.
I'm so damn frustrated.
**[08:12] Izumida**
*Yuki...*
**[08:15] Izumida**
Those countless frustrating
experiences changed you.
**[08:20] Izumida**
You became graceful, lithesome, and powerful.
**[08:23] Izumida**
Determined, too.
**[08:26] Izumida**
You honed your thirst and nose for victory.
**[08:30] Izumida**
I'll accept any plan you throw at me.
**[08:33] Izumida**
I'll grant any desire you have.
**[08:35] Izumida**
I'll pour my entire body and
soul into these final flats.
**[08:41] Yuuto**
Sohoku's still keeping up.
**[08:43] Yuuto**
Izumida-san!
**[08:46] Izumida**
Don't worry, Yuuto.
**[08:49] Izumida**
I've been listening to their newborn cries.
**[08:51] Yuuto**
Newborn cries?
**[08:52] Izumida**
From my muscles, I mean.
**[08:54] Izumida**
Soon they'll appear in
response to my summons.
**[09:00] Izumida**
Come on out, my right pec, Andy,
and my left pec, Frank.
**[09:06] Izumida**
My back muscles Fabian are waiting, too.
**[09:10] Izumida**
The muscles that produce fierce acceleration
in the sprint before the finish line...
**[09:17] Izumida**
are the quads.
**[09:19] Izumida**
Using the legs on the top
side of my legs allows me to
**[09:22] Izumida**
generate overwhelming instantaneous
and explosive power.
**[09:27] Izumida**
However, at the same time,
**[09:29] Izumida**
once I've exhausted them, it's over.
**[09:31] Izumida**
My legs stop moving.
**[09:33] Izumida**
Therefore, they are the Final Muscles.
**[09:36] Yuuto**
He's going to awaken his Final Muscles?
**[09:40] Izumida**
I see. Sorry, sorry.
**[09:43] Izumida**
I hadn't called you by your names yet.
**[09:46] Izumida**
Come on out, both of you...
**[09:50] Izumida**
Left quad, Peter!
**[09:52] Izumida**
Right quad, Mark!
**[09:56] Izumida**
Let us ride together as a spear of light!
**[10:00] Izumida**
The remaining two kilometers of
highland flats are our final job!
**[10:05] Izumida**
Ab you ready? Final road!
**[10:10] Izumida**
Go! Abs!
**[10:15] Izumida**
What? Hakone Academy accelerated again?
**[10:20] Izumida**
Let us go beyond the light!
**[10:23] Izumida**
Abs! Abs, abs, abs, abs!!
**[10:29] Izumida**
Ah, I can hear your joyous voices ringing.
**[10:33] Izumida**
Come on out. Don't be shy.
**[10:36] Izumida**
You can give everything you've got.
**[10:38] Izumida**
Ah, yes. With your strength,
I shall become...
**[10:44] Izumida**
The world's fastest spear!
**[10:51] Imaizumi**
Damn. I even chased after him at full speed.
**[10:55] Imaizumi**
It's only been one kilometer
since the flats started,
**[10:58] Imaizumi**
and they've vanished from sight.
***SIGN*** Yowamushi Pedal
**[11:10] Yuuto**
Heck yeah! We did it.
**[11:13] Yuuto**
Sohoku has vanished from sight,
just as we planned.
**[11:17] Yuuto**
We've established a definitive
lead in the flats, Izumida-san.
**[11:21] Izumida**
Burn this into your eyes,
first-year Shinkai Yuuto.
**[11:26] Izumida**
This is how the man who wears the
number four for Hakone Academy rides.
**[11:30] Yuuto**
Huh?
**[11:32] Yuuto**
I kept sprinting because
I looked up to your brother.
**[11:35] Izumida**
This is everything I've got! Abs!
**[11:42] Yuuto**
What is this feeling? I'm so emotional.
**[11:47] Yuuto**
It makes me want to join him and ride,
like I'm being pulled to him.
**[11:52] Yuuto**
This is how Hakone Academy's
number four rides,
**[11:56] Yuuto**
Izumida-san?!
**[11:57] Izumida**
I'm moving. My body is moving.
**[12:00] Izumida**
So freely, however I please.
**[12:03] Izumida**
I can follow the line I've imagined
without a millimeter of imprecision.
**[12:08] Izumida**
My physical body is moving, and my spirit
races several centimeters above that.
**[12:13] Izumida**
Sounds are fading away. So are smells.
**[12:23] Izumida**
I know. When this happens...
**[12:28] Izumida**
the end is near.
**[12:35] Fan A**
The leaders are here!
**[12:37] Fan B**
It's Hakone Academy!
**[12:38] Fans**
Their sprinter Izumida is pulling!
**[12:39] Fans**
Hakone Academy are riding like champions!
**[12:40] Fans**
There's less than one kilometer left
until you enter the next mountains!
**[12:43] Fans**
You can do it!
**[12:44] Izumida**
The Inter-High is incredible.
**[12:48] Izumida**
My entire body is delighted, Yuki!
**[12:52] Kuroda**
Touichirou...
**[12:53] Izumida**
I feel like I could ride forever, Takuto!
**[12:57] Ashikiba**
Tou-chan...
**[13:00] Fans**
You're almost at the last climb!
**[13:01] Fans**
Go, Hakone Academy!
**[13:06] Izumida**
These three years have been
a dream, Yuki and Takuto.
**[13:11] Izumida**
Thank you for supporting me.
**[13:15] Izumida**
When Arakita-san once hurled insults
at Shinkai-san at the Inter-High,
**[13:20] Izumida**
I saw the trust that was still between them,
**[13:23] Izumida**
and felt that between men who had
fought for three years together
**[13:26] Izumida**
on the ultimate team known as Hakone Academy,
**[13:29] Izumida**
there must be a unique shared feeling
beyond simple trust or connection.
**[13:38] Izumida**
And we clearly have that, too.
**[13:42] Izumida**
Yuuto, Manami, Doubashi...
**[13:47] Izumida**
Thank you for following us.
**[13:51] Fans**
They're passing the hot springs!
**[13:52] Fans**
The climb starts here!
**[14:04] Izumida**
Be proud of yourselves.
**[14:06] Izumida**
Carry that pride up to the finish line.
**[14:10] Fans**
One of Hakone Academy's riders is falling!
**[14:14] Izumida**
You were the ultimate team.
**[14:17] Izumida**
So allow me to say in the end,
as your captain...
**[14:22] Izumida**
Be champions, Hakone Academy!
**[14:25] Yuuto & Manami**
Yes, sir!
**[14:26] Ashikiba & Kuroda**
Yeah!
**[14:33] Izumida**
Jerseys fading into the distance...
**[14:36] Izumida**
My legs ceasing their movements...
**[14:42] Izumida**
I'm counting on you to finish the rest.
**[14:49] Izumida**
You worked hard, Peter, Mark,
Andy, Frank, and Fabian.
**[14:56] Izumida**
It's all right now. You can rest.
**[15:01] Izumida**
You did the best I could've asked for.
**[15:12] Izumida**
Thanks to you, the team established
a solid lead over Sohoku.
**[15:18] Izumida**
It must be 500 meters—no, perhaps 700.
**[15:22] Naruko**
We've entered the climb, but I don't see
Hakone Academy anywhere, Teshima-san.
**[15:28] Teshima**
They got us.
**[15:29] Teshima**
Things went exactly according to their plan.
**[15:32] Sakamichi**
How far ahead do you think
they are, Imaizumi-kun?
**[15:35] Imaizumi**
Judging by the power of Izumida-san's
pulling and his acceleration,
**[15:39] Imaizumi**
probably 500 meters.
**[15:41] Sakamichi**
500 meters...
**[15:43] Naruko**
That's probably an underestimate, hotshot.
**[15:46] Naruko**
Check out the fans by the road.
**[15:48] Naruko**
Some of them are sittin'.
**[15:50] Naruko**
They're even drinkin', too.
**[15:52] Naruko**
That's proof it's been a while
since the lead pack passed through.
**[15:56] Naruko**
Honestly, I think they're 700 meters
ahead, though I hate to say it.
**[16:00] Imaizumi**
700...
**[16:01] Sakamichi**
That much?
**[16:03] Naruko**
Several millimeters of difference determine
who finishes first in road racin'.
**[16:07] Naruko**
100 meters is already hopeless.
**[16:10] Naruko**
200 meters is enough
to make anyone give up,
**[16:12] Naruko**
but we're talkin' about 700.
**[16:14] Teshima**
Damn! That's practically a kilometer.
**[16:18] Teshima**
We don't have a choice.
**[16:20] Teshima**
I misjudged the situation.
**[16:22] Teshima**
I'll pull at full speed and catch up
to Hakone Academy as much as I can.
**[16:29] Imaizumi**
700, huh?
**[16:32] Naruko**
Yeah.
**[16:33] Sakamichi**
That much?
**[16:34] Imaizumi**
Catching up to them now would
be excruciatingly difficult.
**[16:38] Naruko**
It'd be extra spicy and super hard.
**[16:40] Sakamichi**
Wow, that sounds d-difficult.
**[16:44] Imaizumi**
All right, Naruko. You'll pull first.
**[16:46] Naruko**
You're not gonna go first, hotshot?
**[16:48] Sakamichi**
I'll pull. We're in the mountains.
**[16:49] Teshima**
What's this?
**[16:51] Teshima**
What's with these guys?
**[16:53] Teshima**
Normally a 700-meter lead would
make anyone pull a sour face.
**[16:56] Teshima**
They'd say it's impossible.
**[16:59] Teshima**
But these guys...
**[17:00] Imaizumi**
I'll pull third.
**[17:01] Teshima**
They fully intend to catch up.
**[17:02] Naruko**
Lame-o.
**[17:04] Imaizumi**
Doesn't bother me.
**[17:05] Naruko**
Now he's acting defiant.
**[17:05] Teshima**
The rising pressure...
**[17:07] Sakamichi**
Come on, guys.
**[17:07] Teshima**
This is what Kinjou-san mentioned
that's most amazing about them.
***SIGN*** Sohoku High School Bicycle Racing Club
**[17:12] (Flashback) Teshima**
They never give up?
**[17:14] (Flashback) Kinjou**
That's right. Especially in tight
corners and hopeless situations,
**[17:20] (Flashback) Kinjou**
the desire of those three first-years
to turn the situation around increases.
**[17:26] (Flashback) Kinjou**
You feel a rising pressure.
**[17:29] (Flashback) Teshima**
I don't feel that much
from them during practice.
**[17:33] (Flashback) Kinjou**
You'll experience it once you race with them.
**[17:37] (Flashback) Kinjou**
And that power will effect a tremendous
change on how the race goes after that.
**[17:43] (Flashback) Teshima**
What should I do?
**[17:46] (Flashback) Kinjou**
It's simple. Look into their eyes
**[17:50] (Flashback) Kinjou**
and tell them you're counting on them.
**[17:53] Sakamichi**
Okay, I'll pull.
**[17:55] Imaizumi**
Thanks.
**[17:56] Naruko**
Onoda-kun's the biggest man among us.
**[18:01] Teshima**
What's with you guys?
**[18:03] Teshima**
I thought you'd lose hope after
Hakone Academy flexed their strength.
**[18:10] Imaizumi**
Hakone Academy certainly
is strong. Exceptionally so.
**[18:15] Imaizumi**
But we can't win by fighting
back using the same methods.
**[18:21] Imaizumi**
Izumida-san is fast,
**[18:23] Imaizumi**
but our legs will never last if
we try to chase him on the flats.
**[18:26] Naruko**
I offered to catch up by pulling
the team, but hotshot said...
**[18:32] Imaizumi**
We don't need to exhaust Naruko
when he's finally learned to climb.
**[18:39] Imaizumi**
We can close the gap established
on the flats in the mountains.
**[18:43] Naruko**
It's a huge friggin' gap, though.
**[18:45] Sakamichi**
Yeah, but we'll do our best.
**[18:51] Teshima**
Can I count on you to do that?
**[18:52] Naruko**
We gotta try.
**[18:54] Imaizumi**
Of course.
**[18:55] Sakamichi**
Yes, sir. We'll go all-out to catch up.
**[19:03] Teshima**
A climb...
**[19:05] Teshima**
In the worst possible scenario...
**[19:08] Teshima**
But he's smiling?
**[19:10] Teshima**
What is this overwhelming pressure?
**[19:13] Teshima**
Onoda, what are you...
**[19:16] Teshima**
Wind pressure?
**[19:18] Teshima**
Since we formed our new team, I hadn't
observed Onoda's max strength up close yet.
**[19:26] Teshima**
This is his maximum high-cadence
climb that's only seen during races.
**[19:31] Teshima**
He's practically managing the speed
fluctuations of climbing with his cadence alone.
**[19:37] Teshima**
His legs spin so fast...
**[19:39] Teshima**
That's Onoda's true strength.
**[19:41] Teshima**
I'm starting to sweat.
**[19:43] Teshima**
What is this? I can feel
myself getting goosebumps.
**[19:47] Teshima**
Is it his focus?
**[19:50] Teshima**
Is it reaching me, too?
**[19:52] Naruko**
Hotshot, Onoda-kun's outta control.
**[19:55] Naruko**
He's real amped up. He's crazy fast.
**[19:58] Imaizumi**
Yeah. He's always like that.
**[20:01] Imaizumi**
More than when riding for himself...
**[20:04] (Flashback) Imaizumi**
Can you catch up to them, Onoda?
**[20:06] (Flashback) Sakamichi**
Yeah.
**[20:07] Imaizumi**
...he's fastest when
someone's counting on him.
**[20:15] Teshima**
Since he won the Inter-High last year,
the situation surrounding Onoda has changed.
**[20:22] Teshima**
He was even nicknamed the
King of the Mountains
**[20:25] Teshima**
for his control and reign over the climbs.
**[20:30] Teshima**
Plenty have challenged the
King of the Mountains.
**[20:34] Teshima**
Most were perplexed by Onoda's
small and weak appearance.
**[20:40] Teshima**
But once the race began,
**[20:43] Teshima**
they marveled at his overpowering riding
**[20:46] Teshima**
with mouths agape and eyes
round with amazement.
**[20:50] Imaizumi**
Don't push yourself too hard, Onoda.
**[20:53] Sakamichi**
It's tough. I'm struggling to breathe,
and my chest hurts.
**[20:58] Sakamichi**
But it's strange. When I'm riding
with the team, it's so fun.
**[21:03] Imaizumi**
Yeah.
**[21:06] Naruko**
You're right.
**[21:08] Teshima**
He's smiling again.
**[21:11] Teshima**
You're having fun?
**[21:13] Sakamichi**
Sorry, Teshima-san.
**[21:15] Teshima**
Huh?
**[21:16] Sakamichi**
You must be wondering how I'm having
fun when we're in a dire situation.
**[21:22] Teshima**
No, keep pulling the way you are.
**[21:26] Sakamichi**
Yes, sir.
**[21:31] Teshima**
Onoda, do you remember?
**[21:34] (Flashback) Teshima**
They're yours. Use them.
**[21:38] Teshima**
I gave you shoes then.
**[21:42] Teshima**
After losing to you, I wanted to see
just how much faster you'd become.
**[21:50] Teshima**
You grew shockingly quickly.
**[21:53] Teshima**
You overcame all manner of walls
and shattered my assumptions.
**[21:59] Teshima**
But I never thought you'd become this fast.
**[22:06] Teshima**
It's the race official's car.
**[22:07] Teshima**
The one that follows the lead pack!
**[22:09] Teshima**
They must be close.
**[22:10] Teshima**
We're closing the gap between
us and Hakone Academy.
**[22:13] Naruko**
Onoda-kun, let's switch.
**[22:14] Sakamichi**
Okay, thanks.
**[22:16] Imaizumi**
Don't try to stand out, Naruko.
**[22:18] Naruko**
Shut up and watch my super climb.
**[22:20] Naruko**
Here comes the flashiest man
in Naniwa, Naruko Shoukichi—
**[22:26] Imaizumi**
Want me to switch with you?
**[22:27] Naruko**
Shut up!
**[22:28] Naruko**
That was quick! I thought
I told you to shut up and watch!
**[22:31] Sakamichi**
Imaizumi-kun...
**[22:34] Teshima**
Onoda has grown tremendously
and beyond expectations.
**[22:39] Teshima**
But even with that,
Hakone Academy's strength...
**[22:45] Teshima**
I'm sorry, Onoda.
**[22:47] Sakamichi**
Huh?
**[22:48] Teshima**
About the third day's—today's orders.
**[22:52] Sakamichi**
Don't worry about it. It's fine.
**[22:56] Sakamichi**
As long as we get to work together as a team.

**[23:01] Naruko**
Huh? What did you just say?
**[23:05] (Flashback) Teshima**
Did you not hear me?
**[23:07] (Flashback) Teshima**
Then I'll say it again.
**[23:09] (Flashback) Teshima**
I'm thinking about having Onoda step
down from being the mountain ace
**[23:14] (Flashback) Teshima**
at the end of the Inter-High.
