***SIGN*** Yowamushi Pedal
**[01:38] Shinkai**
The traditional Hakone Academy fun
ride to send off the third-years
**[01:42] Shinkai**
starts here at this convenience
store parking lot
***SIGN*** RIDE.07 The Last Meet
**[01:47] Shinkai**
once the air's become a little chilly.
**[01:51] Shinkai**
I never even thought about
it when we were first-years.
**[01:57] Toudou**
I can't believe we're the
ones being sent off now.
**[02:01] Shinkai**
Let's go. It's our last run as part of
the Hakone Academy bicycle racing club.
**[02:06] Fukutomi**
Yeah.
**[02:07] Toudou**
Yeah.
**[02:08] Arakita**
It's cold.
**[02:13] Izumida**
I look forward to riding with you today.
**[02:16] Toudou**
Sure.
**[02:17] Shinkai**
We're counting on you.
**[02:18] Fukutomi**
Izumida.
**[02:19] Arakita**
Try not to fall.
**[02:20] Izumida**
Yes, sir.
**[02:25] Club A**
The third-year send-off
fun ride will now begin!
**[02:29] All**
Thank you!
**[02:30] All**
Thank you!
**[02:41] Second-Year**
Make sure you obey all traffic signals.
**[02:43] Second-Year**
This 120 kilometer course
follows the national highway
**[02:45] Second-Year**
and heads south along the coast,
**[02:46] Second-Year**
turns right at Kawazu, crosses Amagihara
Pass, and finishes at the city parking lot.
**[02:52] First-Year B**
A hundred and twenty kilometers?
Isn't that a little long for a fun ride?
**[02:56] Second-Year**
This is the course we ride every year.
**[02:59] Second-Year**
We keep up a brisk pace,
so try not to fall behind.
**[03:01] Both**
What?
**[03:05] Girl A**
Hakone Academy!
***SIGN*** Toudou
-sama
**[03:06] Girl B**
Toudou-kun!
**[03:08] Girl C**
You can do it!
**[03:10] Toudou**
There are my fangirls.
**[03:15] Toudou**
Thanks for your passionate send-off.
**[03:18] Girl B**
Toudou-sama!
**[03:19] Girl C**
The last time we'll see his valiant figure!
**[03:21] Arakita**
You idiot, eyes forward!
***SIGN*** Toudou
-sama
**[03:22] Girl A**
Toudou-kun, point your finger at us!
**[03:29] Toudou**
The heavens granted me three things.
**[03:32] Toudou**
Not only can I climb, but I'm
also a skilled conversationalist,
**[03:34] Toudou**
and then there's my great looks.
**[03:35] Toudou**
Even the forest sleeps through my—
**[03:36] Arakita**
I told you to face forward, you idiot!
**[03:40] Club E**
Toudou-san's amazing.
**[03:42] Club D**
Yeah. I don't really get it,
but he's amazing.
**[03:45] Fujiwara**
No, Toudou actually is amazing.
**[03:48] Club D**
Fujiwara-senpai!
**[03:50] Club D**
Thanks for your three years of service.
**[03:52] Fujiwara**
Yeah. The next generation of Hakone
Academy is counting on you.
**[03:56] Fujiwara**
Toudou seems to joke around,
but when the team needs him,
**[04:00] Fujiwara**
he always shows up in top condition.
**[04:03] Fujiwara**
Remember what happened at the Inter-High?
**[04:06] Club D**
Yes, sir.
**[04:07] Fujiwara**
He works hard while we're not watching.
**[04:10] Fujiwara**
Back-breakingly hard.
**[04:12] Toudou**
Not at all, Fujiwara.
**[04:15] Fujiwara**
What?
**[04:15] Toudou**
It's just the talent heaven has granted me.
**[04:18] Toudou**
I'm what they call a ge—
**[04:19] Arakita**
Eyes forward!
**[04:20] Toudou**
What's your problem? That's the best part.
**[04:22] Fujiwara**
He's kind of annoying.
**[04:22] Arakita**
Shut up and ride! You're distracting me!
**[04:23] Club D**
He really is amazing.
**[04:27] Shinkai**
Thanks, Juichi.
**[04:30] Shinkai**
For six years.
**[04:32] Fukutomi**
Yeah, Shinkai.
**[04:35] Fukutomi**
We've known each other since middle school.
We've been together a long time.
**[04:39] Shinkai**
It couldn't have been better.
I'm glad I had you, Juichi.
**[04:43] Shinkai**
Thanks to you, I was able to keep riding.
**[04:47] Fukutomi**
You're the fastest man alive.
What are you talking about?
**[04:49] Club F**
Amazing. They're recognizing
each other's abilities.
**[04:53] Club G**
And they're strong.
**[04:55] Club H**
I want to be like them by
the time I'm a third-year.
**[05:00] Fukutomi**
In order to become strong, you must
endure the pain and persevere.
**[05:05] Fukutomi**
I was able to do that for six years because I
**[05:07] Fukutomi**
had someone as strong as you
riding beside me, Shinkai.
**[05:11] Fukutomi**
Thank you.
**[05:13] Shinkai**
It's embarrassing when you
put it like that, Juichi.
**[05:17] Shinkai**
Want some?
**[05:24] Arakita**
Don't look at me so expectantly!
**[05:26] Arakita**
I don't have anything heartfelt to say!
**[05:29] Club F**
I knew it.
**[05:31] Club M**
He doesn't seem the type.
**[05:32] Club H**
But how did he know?
Was it his wild instincts?
**[05:38] Toudou**
No, the team came together because of you.
**[05:42] Arakita**
Tou—
**[05:45] Shinkai**
Thanks for practicing with us.
**[05:48] Arakita**
Shinkai.
**[05:51] Fukutomi**
Arakita, no one could've carried us better.
**[05:54] Arakita**
Fuku-chan, you, too?
**[05:57] Arakita**
Shut up! Stop complimenting me!
**[06:06] Shinkai**
We're on the seaside highway now.
**[06:09] Shinkai**
It's a two-lane road from here on out.
**[06:12] Club A**
Huh? The third-years are moving ahead.
**[06:15] Fujiwara**
It's time.
**[06:16] Club A**
Huh?
**[06:17] Fujiwara**
This is where it always starts.
**[06:19] Club A**
But I thought this was a fun ride.
**[06:22] Fujiwara**
You must be stupid.
**[06:24] Fujiwara**
Today's course has a finish line,
and we're Hakone Academy.
**[06:28] Fujiwara**
There's no way it won't turn into a race.
**[06:32] Club A**
Izumida-san's group is moving ahead, too!
**[06:39] Fukutomi**
Someone's missing.
**[06:41] Izumida**
It's not a problem. He'll be here soon.
**[06:45] Izumida**
Come, Manami!
**[06:47] Manami**
Yes, sir.
**[06:48] Club A**
Even Manami?
**[07:03] Izumida**
Since I have the opportunity,
let me be clear.
**[07:06] Izumida**
You are...
**[07:08] Izumida**
Weak!
**[07:12] Izumida**
You smeared mud on your
school's proud history,
**[07:14] Izumida**
and you failed to win the general
classification at the Inter-High.
**[07:18] Izumida**
You called yourselves the strongest team,
but placed second!
**[07:21] Izumida**
As far as Hakone Academy is concerned,
second place is last place!
**[07:25] Izumida**
How are you going to take
responsibility for that?
**[07:29] Izumida**
Will you reclaim your honor next year?
**[07:32] Izumida**
You can't. After all, you're third-years.
**[07:38] Izumida**
You're graduating.
**[07:41] Fukutomi**
Izumida...
**[07:43] Izumida**
So we will inherit that
responsibility and desire!
**[07:51] Arakita**
Well said.
**[07:55] Izumida**
I used to look up to and chase after you,
but now I will surpass you.
**[08:01] Izumida**
Let me show you our strength by
beating you in your final race!
**[08:08] Club A**
Izumida-san zipped up his jersey!
**[08:10] Club B**
He's declaring war on the third-years!
**[08:13] Fukutomi**
Izumida.
**[08:14] Toudou**
Now you've said it.
**[08:16] Arakita**
Kuroda, Ashikiba, and Manami, huh?
**[08:19] Shinkai**
Nice. We should answer their challenge.
**[08:22] Shinkai**
Besides...
**[08:25] Club A**
There it is! It's Shinkai-san's ka-pow pose!
**[08:31] Fukutomi**
Go, Shinkai!
**[08:32] Izumida**
Follow me, Yuki, Ashikiba, Manami!
**[08:38] Club A**
Th-They're so fast!
**[08:39] Fujiwara**
Pedal, first-years!
**[08:41] Fujiwara**
If you fall behind now,
you'll never catch up!
**[08:44] All**
Yes, sir!
**[08:45] Shinkai**
Go!
**[08:51] Ashikiba**
They're so fast.
**[08:54] Kuroda**
This isn't good.
They're pulling ahead a little bit.
**[08:57] Kuroda**
What should we do, Touichirou?
**[08:58] Ashikiba**
What? That's not a little.
**[09:00] Ashikiba**
They're pretty far ahead of us, Yuki-chan.
**[09:02] Kuroda**
I wasn't being literal. I meant
the opposite of what I said.
**[09:05] Kuroda**
Learn to read the atmosphere, stupid.
**[09:07] Ashikiba**
How rude. There's nothing stupid about me.
**[09:10] Kuroda**
That's what makes you stupid!
**[09:12] Kuroda**
Ninety percent of stupid people
don't realize they're stupid
**[09:15] Kuroda**
and find out from the Ministry of
Internal Affairs and Communications.
**[09:17] Ashikiba**
Really?
**[09:18] Kuroda**
Of course not! It's a joke!
**[09:19] Kuroda**
You should've known!
**[09:21] Ashikiba**
D-Do you...
**[09:23] Ashikiba**
think I'm one of those people?
**[09:26] Kuroda**
I told you, it's not true!
**[09:28] Kuroda**
Who would even investigate that?
**[09:30] Kuroda**
Don't let the name of the Ministry
make you doubt yourself so much!
**[09:34] Izumida**
Are you finished with your
comedy routine, Ashikiba, Yuki?
**[09:37] Kuroda**
For now.
**[09:39] Ashikiba**
That was a comedy routine?
**[09:41] Kuroda**
What are we going to do?
**[09:43] Izumida**
Follow them, of course.
**[09:46] Manami**
I'll pull.
**[09:48] Manami**
I can't lose any more.
**[09:57] Manami**
I can't make the same mistake twice.
**[10:02] Manami**
I promise I'll win.
**[10:05] Manami**
I'll pull until my legs fall apart.
**[10:07] Manami**
I'll catch up to them!
**[10:09] Manami**
Let me lead us to victory!
**[10:11] Izumida**
No, it's fine. Head to the back.
**[10:14] Manami**
Why? I'll pull for us.
**[10:16] Izumida**
Fall back.
**[10:17] Manami**
I know I'm a climber, but—
**[10:19] Kuroda**
What's this?
**[10:22] Kuroda**
According to the Ministry's investigation,
there's another idiot in the group.
**[10:28] Kuroda**
He's aloof, smiley, and absent-minded.
**[10:32] Kuroda**
But he's unbelievably fast on hills.
**[10:35] Kuroda**
To borrow Arakita-san's words,
he's a wonder boy.
**[10:41] Izumida**
Yuki...
**[10:46] Kuroda**
You've been working too hard
since the Inter-High, Sangaku!
**[10:51] Kuroda**
A first-year shouldn't be shouldering
that kind of responsibility.
**[10:53] Kuroda**
Just say there was a pebble in the
road or make some other excuse.
**[10:58] Kuroda**
You pushed past me to attend the Inter-High.
**[11:01] Kuroda**
You didn't win the group F race
that day because you had guts.
**[11:06] Kuroda**
It was your bottomless focus.
**[11:10] Kuroda**
But what about now? The burden you're
carrying is making you unsteady.
**[11:15] Kuroda**
You're unfocused,
and your pedaling is a mess.
**[11:19] Kuroda**
You're a climber, but you
want to pull on the flats?
**[11:22] Kuroda**
You're supposed to be the guy who says
he's too tired to pull when he's told to!
**[11:25] Manami**
Kuroda-san...
**[11:27] Kuroda**
Quit putting on airs and working so hard.
**[11:30] Kuroda**
Are you trying to look bigger than you are?
**[11:31] Kuroda**
Are you an idol who can't wait to grow up?
**[11:34] Kuroda**
Let the others handle the flats.
**[11:38] Kuroda**
These seaside flats will end soon.
**[11:41] Kuroda**
There are mountains waiting
for us after that.
**[11:44] Kuroda**
That's when we climbers can go wild.
**[11:50] Kuroda**
That's what Touichirou was trying to say.
**[11:58] Izumida**
You finally smiled.
**[12:00] Izumida**
Fall back and rest.
Resting improves your focus.
**[12:07] Izumida**
Right, Manami?
**[12:12] Manami**
Yes, sir.
**[12:15] Izumida**
I prepared these for today's race.
**[12:18] Kuroda**
Is it a map?
**[12:20] Izumida**
They're number tag stickers.
**[12:22] Ashikiba**
Wow.
**[12:24] Manami**
Single digit?
**[12:25] Kuroda**
You're starting to act like
a captain, Touichirou.
**[12:29] Izumida**
Ace #1, Ashikiba!
**[12:31] Ashikiba**
You're making me nervous.
**[12:33] Izumida**
Number 2, Yuki!
**[12:34] Kuroda**
Crap, that's Arakita-san's number.
**[12:37] Izumida**
Number 3 is for our climber, Manami!
**[12:39] Manami**
That's Toudou-san's number.
**[12:42] Izumida**
And my number tag is the
one I've always wanted.
**[12:47] Izumida**
The number of Hakone Academy's
fastest rider, #4!
**[12:51] Izumida**
After them!
**[12:52] Kuroda**
Yeah!
**[12:54] Club A**
The captain's group is accelerating now!
**[12:56] Fujiwara**
Follow them!
**[12:57] Izumida**
Abs, abs, abs, abs!
**[13:08] Shinkai**
I thought we had pulled pretty far ahead.
**[13:10] Shinkai**
That's odd. I guess we hadn't.
**[13:15] Izumida**
Abs, abs, abs, abs!
**[13:17] Kuroda**
I see them, Touichirou. It's the third-years.
**[13:17] Izumida**
Abs, abs, abs, abs!
**[13:20] Izumida**
We'll beat them.
**[13:26] Kuroda**
Let's go.
**[13:26] Both**
Yeah!
**[13:31] Shinkai**
Izumida, you know about
**[13:33] Shinkai**
the demon of Hakone that
appears on straight roads...
**[13:36] Shinkai**
Don't you?
**[13:37] Izumida**
Abs! Let's go, Andy!
**[13:41] Izumida**
Frank!
**[13:43] Izumida**
Come...
**[13:45] Izumida**
Fabian!
**[13:49] Shinkai**
Bring it on, Izumida!
**[13:54] Izumida**
My cells are trembling.
My heart won't stop pounding.
**[13:59] Izumida**
I'm about to race against him.
**[14:03] Izumida**
He used to be so far out of reach.
Those days were so long.
**[14:13] Izumida**
Are you ready?
**[14:15] Izumida**
Show me the best you can do!
**[14:20] Izumida**
Abs, ready...
**[14:22] Izumida**
Go!
**[14:23] Izumida**
Abs, abs, abs, abs, abs!
**[14:26] Club A**
It's Hakone Academy's Demon
of the Straight Road!
**[14:28] Club B**
Shinkai-san began his counterattack
after the captain's group caught up!
**[14:32] Club C**
And Izumida-san reacted instantly
with his Full-Body Muscle Sprint!
**[14:35] ---**
Abs! Abs! Abs!
**[14:37] Club A**
They're both continuing to accelerate!
**[14:41] Takadajou**
Such incredible acceleration!
They're on a different level!
**[14:44] Kuroda**
You're a first-year, aren't you?
**[14:46] Takadajou**
Yes, sir. I'm Takadajou.
**[14:49] Takadajou**
I wanted to experience the third-years'
last race and how Izumida-senpai rides.
**[14:56] Takadajou**
But I can't keep up.
**[14:58] Kuroda**
You've got guts.
**[15:00] Takadajou**
Um, what about Shinkai-san and Izumida-san?
**[15:05] Kuroda**
Once we turn right
**[15:06] Kuroda**
at the intersection at Kawazu,
the flats of this seaside road will end.
**[15:12] Kuroda**
Right under the giant sign in front of it,
**[15:15] Kuroda**
there's a white line that's
just like a finish line.
**[15:19] Kuroda**
They'll be riding all-out to that line.
**[15:22] ---**
Abs! Abs! Abs!
**[15:24] Izumida**
Shinkai-san!
Abs, abs, abs, abs, abs!
**[15:26] Izumida**
I will surpass you!
**[15:27] Shinkai**
Izumida!
**[15:30] Shinkai**
Bring it on!
**[15:32] Izumida**
Abs, abs, abs, abs!
**[15:49] Izumida**
Abs, abs, abs, abs!
**[15:51] Shinkai**
I'm pulling ahead.
Will you fall behind, Izumida?
**[15:57] Izumida**
My back muscles are the spring.
They're the biggest muscles in the body.
**[16:03] Izumida**
The back muscles!
**[16:05] Izumida**
They pull the arms through the shoulders
and turn the legs through the buttocks.
**[16:09] Izumida**
They're the source of all muscles.
**[16:13] Izumida**
Fierce and grand! The father of all muscles!
**[16:17] Izumida**
That is Fabian!
**[16:21] Izumida**
Abs! Turn...
**[16:24] Izumida**
Fabian!
**[16:28] Izumida**
Abs, abs, abs, abs!
**[16:32] Izumida**
Abs, abs, abs, abs!
**[16:35] Shinkai**
Izumida, you were a great junior to me.
**[16:41] Shinkai**
You were honest, serious,
and always kept up with me.
**[16:49] (Flashback) Izumida**
Shinkai-san, may I join you?
**[16:52] (Flashback) Shinkai**
Sure.
**[16:55] Shinkai**
You were persistent.
**[17:01] (Flashback) Izumida**
I can't beat him!
**[17:05] (Flashback) Izumida**
Next time, Shinkai-san.
**[17:10] (Flashback) Izumida**
Shinkai-san...
**[17:12] (Flashback) Izumida**
Shinkai-san!
**[17:14] Shinkai**
I secretly enjoyed watching you grow.
**[17:22] Izumida**
Shinkai-san!
**[17:27] Izumida**
Five kilometers left.
**[17:30] Izumida**
We're getting closer.
**[17:30] ---**
Abs! Abs! Abs!
**[17:32] Izumida**
Each time my muscles turn the crank...
**[17:35] Izumida**
Each time my tires kick against the ground...
**[17:38] Izumida**
I get closer to the end of my time with you.
***SIGN*** Kawazu City
**[17:42] Izumida**
Two kilometers left.
**[17:43] Izumida**
Abs, abs, abs, abs, abs!
**[17:47] Izumida**
One kilometer...
**[17:49] Izumida**
Abs, abs, abs, abs!
**[17:53] Izumida**
I will surpass him.
**[17:56] Izumida**
It's the final stretch. Give me
your strength, Andy, Frank, Fabian!
**[18:01] Shinkai**
Shit, my legs are falling off. But...
**[18:06] ---**
Abs! Abs! Abs!
**[18:07] Shinkai**
500 meters left!
**[18:09] Shinkai**
It's the final stretch! Pedal!
**[18:13] Izumida**
That's it!
**[18:15] Shinkai**
The finish line!
**[18:19] Izumida**
Why? Why am I crying?
**[18:34] Izumida**
That's it.
**[18:38] Izumida**
That's it. This is...
**[18:49] Izumida**
...what it means...
**[18:52] Izumida**
...to surpass someone you admire.
**[19:01] Shinkai**
You've grown, Touichirou.
**[19:07] Izumida**
I did it! Abs!
**[19:17] Izumida**
Thank you, Shinkai-san.
**[19:21] Izumida**
In our final race, I rode
with your #4 on my chest.
**[19:30] Shinkai**
Don't steal that. That's my number.
**[19:34] Shinkai**
But I guess it's time I let you have it.
**[19:46] Izumida**
Thank you!
**[19:51] Izumida**
I have one last question.
**[19:53] Izumida**
Shinkai-san, why did you smile then?
**[19:59] Shinkai**
Yeah, I wonder why.
**[20:02] Shinkai**
I was just having so much
fun that I couldn't contain it.
**[20:17] Shinkai**
The climber and ace stages
are after this one.
**[20:21] Izumida**
Yes, sir.
**[20:26] Toudou**
Let's have one last race.
**[20:29] Toudou**
Come with me. I'll give
you a workout, Manami.
**[20:33] Manami**
Yes, sir.
**[20:37] Fujiwara**
It's time.
**[20:39] Club D**
Huh?
**[20:40] Fujiwara**
On this course, after the
right turn at Kawazu...
**[20:49] Fujiwara**
...waits Amagihara Pass, the tallest
peak on the Izu Peninsula.
**[20:55] Club D**
Toudou-san and Manami?
**[20:56] Fujiwara**
That's right.
**[20:57] Fujiwara**
You'll never see a race between Hakone
Academy climbers like this one again.
**[21:03] Fujiwara**
Not that we'll be able to watch it.
**[21:06] Club D**
Let's ask them how it went later.
**[21:08] Fujiwara**
Yeah.
**[21:12] Toudou**
There's a mountain ahead of us. Let us climb.
**[21:17] Toudou**
To the highest point on this road,
the place closest to the sky.
**[21:22] Toudou**
Let's race to see who gets there first.
**[21:25] Toudou**
Don't hold anything back, Manami Sangaku.
**[21:29] Manami**
Yes, sir.
**[21:31] Toudou**
Attack me anytime.
**[21:33] Toudou**
I'll crush each and every
one of your attempts.
**[23:13] Shinkai**
Jinpachi, Yasutomo's glaring at you.
**[23:17] Toudou**
I don't mind.
**[23:18] Toudou**
Now, what will you do?
You're in check, Kuroda.
**[23:22] Arakita**
Don't let him beat you, Kuroda. Get him.
**[23:26] Manami**
The tension is intense.
**[23:33] Shinkai**
Usakichi!
