SIGN    Yowamushi Pedal
[01:32] Kuroda
    Go as hard as you can, Manami.
[01:37] Toudou
    What's wrong?
[01:38] Toudou
    If you see an opening, come and get me.
[01:40] Manami
    Toudou-san is fast.
[01:43] Manami
    His movements are perfectly efficient.
[01:45] Manami
    He climbs like he's sliding along.
[01:48] Manami
    He accelerates without making a sound.
SIGN    RIDE.08 Finish Line
[01:50] Manami
    He pulls ahead without anyone realizing it.
[01:53] Manami
    His only inefficiency is...
[01:56] Toudou
    Are you overwhelmed by my
    Sleeping Climb, Manami Sangaku?
[02:00] Toudou
    What's wrong? Aren't you going to attack?
[02:03] Toudou
    Are you just going to let me win?
[02:05] Toudou
    Both this race and in
    popularity with the girls?
[02:07] Manami
    ...how much he talks.
[02:10] Toudou
    You just thought I needlessly
    speak too much, didn't you?
[02:15] Toudou
    I'm your senior, you know.
[02:16] Manami
    His intuition is sharp, too.
[02:19] Toudou
    Well? Can we agree I'm more
    popular with the girls?
[02:24] Manami
    What? That's all?
[02:26] Manami
    Well, uh... Okay.
[02:29] Toudou
    Good.
[02:30] Manami
    He seems satisfied.
[02:33] Manami
    Maybe I'll go now while I have the chance.
[02:36] Toudou
    By the way, Manami, have you been
    keeping in touch with Four-Eyes?
[02:50] Manami
    No, I've... been busy.
[02:55] Toudou
    Really? I'd been wondering about that.
[02:57] Manami
    We're racing!
[02:59] Toudou
    What did you do with that thing he
    gave you after the award ceremony?
[03:03] Announce
    The last bus heading down the
    mountain will be leaving at...
[03:06] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    Um, T-Toudou-san, I'm looking for Manami-kun.
[03:11] (Flashback) Toudou
    Manami?
[03:13] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    I-I promised I'd return this to him
    if I attended the Inter-High.
[03:19] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    It was originally Manami-kun's.
[03:22] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    He helped me when I was having
    trouble in the mountains.
[03:26] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    Thanks to this, I've been able to work hard.
[03:29] (Flashback) Toudou
    So you're connected by fate, huh?
[03:34] (Flashback) Toudou
    Manami!
[03:36] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    Manami-kun, here.
[03:38] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    I, uh... Thank you so much.
[03:41] (Flashback) Sakamichi
    Thanks to you, I—
    I'm not sure how to thank you, but...
[03:49] Toudou
    What did you do with that bottle?
[03:52] Manami
    I threw it away.
[03:54] Manami
    Hakone Academy placed second because he won.
[03:59] Manami
    Because I told him to come to the Inter-High.
[04:02] Manami
    Because that day...
[04:06] Manami
    I helped him by giving him that water bottle!
[04:08] Manami
    How could I keep that bottle around?
[04:13] Toudou
    I see. Let me ask you something, then.
[04:16] Toudou
    If you had known that would happen,
[04:19] Toudou
    and found him collapsed in the mountains,
    what would you have done?
[04:24] Toudou
    Would you not have helped him?
[04:29] Toudou
    No, you would have.
[04:31] Toudou
    You can't ignore a person who's having
    trouble in the mountains, Manami Sangaku.
[04:38] Toudou
    It means you didn't make the wrong choice.
[04:41] Toudou
    It takes only a moment,
    and there's no going back.
[04:47] Toudou
    You gave everything you
    had and lost. That's all.
[04:54] Toudou
    If the past continues to make
    you suffer, it's simple.
[04:58] Toudou
    Take off your jersey.
[05:02] Toudou
    I told you to
[05:06] Toudou
    ride freely, Manami.
[05:11] Toudou
    After all, it's the riding
    style that suits you best.
[05:16] Toudou
    It makes me sick to watch you hide in your
    cocoon and worry about reason and rank.
[05:21] Toudou
    When you ride that way, you're hardly
    my rival when it comes to girls!
[05:29] Manami
    Toudou-san...
[05:30] Toudou
    I can tell.
[05:32] Toudou
    Onoda-kun has already
    become important to you.
[05:37] Toudou
    He'll be someone you compete with.
[05:41] Toudou
    You'll help each other grow
    and make each other stronger.
[05:47] Toudou
    Take good care of him.
[05:49] Toudou
    Call him every day.
[05:51] Manami
    Every day?
[05:55] Toudou
    I'm jealous you have someone to envy and despise.
[06:02] Toudou
    Your rival is close enough that you
    can see and race with him anytime.
[06:12] Manami
    Toudou-san...
[06:14] Toudou
    There's not much left.
[06:18] Toudou
    Give me everything you've got,
    Manami Sangaku!
[06:23] Manami
    Yes, sir.
[06:30] Toudou
    That's it. That expression, Manami.
[06:34] Toudou
    That's the one you should wear.
[06:46] Toudou
    I can't let you take the mountains, though.
[06:49] Toudou
    I am the Mountain God, Toudou Jinpachi!
[06:56] Manami
    You're amazing, Toudou-san.
[07:02] Manami
    Thank you.
[07:12] Arakita
    Once we exit the Shin-Amagi Tunnel,
    to the finish line there'll be...
[07:16] Fukutomi
    ...two thousand meters left.
[07:18] Ashikiba
    Four men left.
[07:20] Kuroda
    I withdrew during the mountains
    all for this moment.
[07:24] Kuroda
    We'll show you our backs at the finish line.
[07:29] Arakita
    You sure do talk a lot, Kuroda.
[07:38] Kuroda
    I was overflowing with talent.
[07:48] (Flashback) Student
    Yeah!
[07:49] (Flashback) Student
    That's the tenth point he's scored! Amazing!
[07:52] (Flashback) Student
    Come to next week's game, too, Kuroda.
[07:54] (Flashback) Kuroda
    Sorry. The baseball team asked
    me to play for them next week.
[08:02] Kuroda
    No matter the sport, I improved
    faster than anyone else.
[08:06] (Flashback) Student
    Apparently, the baseball team
    won the district tournament!
[08:10] (Flashback) Student
    Kuroda-senpai!
[08:12] (Flashback) Student
    I heard he beat a high school
    team with the swim club, too!
[08:15] (Flashback) Student
    Maybe he'll go to the Olympics!
[08:18] Kuroda
    They called me a sports genius.
[08:23] Kuroda
    I started riding bikes in grade school
    at a friend's invitation.
[08:27] Kuroda
    I was exceptional at that, too.
[08:29] (Flashback) Kuroda
    You're slow. Twist your body more.
[08:33] (Flashback) Kuroda
    I'll be waiting for you at the top, Izumida.
[08:35] (Flashback) Izumida
    Wait, Kuroda-kun.
[08:39] Kuroda
    Bike riding, huh? This isn't bad.
[08:42] Kuroda
    Other sports like basketball and baseball
    can only be played in designated areas.
[08:49] Kuroda
    But as long as there's a road,
    you can ride a bike anywhere.
[08:55] Kuroda
    A cage is too cramped for
    my talent to explode in!
[09:02] (Flashback) Kuroda
    I've made my decision, Izumida.
[09:05] (Flashback) Kuroda
    I'm going to ride bikes.
[09:08] (Flashback) Kuroda
    I'll go to Hakone Academy
    for high school with you.
[09:12] (Flashback) Izumida
    Kuroda-kun...
[09:14] Kuroda
    Izumida was serious. He was never
    late and never missed class.
SIGN    Difficult Book
[09:17] Kuroda
    His grades were good, and he was always
    reading difficult books I'd never heard of.
[09:22] Kuroda
    Honestly, he wasn't great at
    sports besides bike riding.
[09:27] Kuroda
    But his passion for bikes was absolute.
[09:31] (Flashback) Kuroda
    Teach me all the little rules, Touichirou.
[09:35] (Flashback) Izumida
    Okay.
[09:36] (Flashback) Student
    Kuroda, we heard you're
    going to Hakone Academy.
[09:38] (Flashback) Student
    Is it for bike racing?
[09:39] (Flashback) Student
    You'll be a regular in no time.
[09:43] (Flashback) Kuroda
    I'll place first at the Inter-High.
[09:48] Kuroda
    Everyone wanted me to do well at
    the prestigious Hakone Academy.
[09:53] Kuroda
    Which I thought was only natural.
[09:56] (Flashback) Student
    First-years, line up!
[09:57] (Flashback) All
    Yes, sir!
[09:59] Kuroda
    Until he appeared.
[10:03] (Flashback) Arakita
    You guys stink.
[10:13] (Flashback) Arakita
    I'll smell every one of you.
[10:18] (Flashback) Student
    Stink? You mean sweat?
[10:20] (Flashback) Arakita
    You smell like you'll quit right away.
[10:23] (Flashback) Student
    What?
[10:25] (Flashback) Arakita
    You smell like you'll
    start skipping right away.
[10:27] (Flashback) Student
    What?
[10:33] (Flashback) Arakita
    You have promise.
[10:35] (Flashback) Arakita
    You smell like a hard worker.
[10:37] (Flashback) Izumida
    What?
[10:38] (Flashback) Izumida
    Th... Thank you!
[10:42] (Flashback) Arakita
    Shut up! You're too loud, idiot!
[10:44] (Flashback) Kuroda
    Senpai, how do I smell?
[10:47] (Flashback) Arakita
    Huh?
[10:49] Kuroda
    Exceptional talent? Immediate regular?
[10:53] (Flashback) Kuroda
    Do you smell anything?
[10:55] (Flashback) Arakita
    Yeah.
[10:57] (Flashback) Arakita
    You smell like a shitty elite.
[10:59] (Flashback) Arakita
    A stinking ball of pride.
[11:03] (Flashback) Arakita
    You stink like someone who thinks he's
    a superstar at the center of the world.
[11:10] (Flashback) Arakita
    I bet you've mastered all kinds of
    sports with that cool body of yours.
[11:16] (Flashback) Arakita
    Are you sure you won't quit cycling?
[11:19] (Flashback) Arakita
    And say something like,
    "Basketball is the real me"?
[11:24] (Flashback) Kuroda
    That's not true!
[11:29] Kuroda
    He's fast. And he stopped just a hair short.
[11:33] Kuroda
    If he had extended his elbow another
    millimeter, he would've hit me in the face.
[11:38] (Flashback) Arakita
    Was I right?
[11:40] (Flashback) Arakita
    Did you get mad because
    I was right, first-year?
[11:44] (Flashback) Arakita
    Looks like I was right on the money.
[11:47] (Flashback) Kuroda
    Take it back.
[11:49] (Flashback) Arakita
    Bike riding is unforgiving and plain.
[11:52] (Flashback) Arakita
    Talent's not enough to get you anywhere.
[11:54] (Flashback) Arakita
    It'll make you want to quit.
    Every day is difficult.
[11:58] (Flashback) Arakita
    If you can play all kinds of sports,
    you'll end up running to one of those.
[12:04] (Flashback) Arakita
    Are you sure you can ride
    a bike, you little baby?
[12:08] (Flashback) Kuroda
    Let go!
[12:11] (Flashback) Arakita
    What's wrong? Did you see a mosquito?
[12:15] (Flashback) Arakita
    I won't fight you.
[12:17] (Flashback) Arakita
    Fuku-chan told me not to.
[12:20] (Flashback) Kuroda
    I hate guys like you!
[12:26] (Flashback) Kuroda
    You're all talk!
[12:27] (Flashback) Kuroda
    You're always looking for
    ways to upset people!
[12:29] (Flashback) Kuroda
    You're not even strong,
    but you rely on violence!
[12:32] (Flashback) Izumida
    Kuroda-kun...
[12:33] (Flashback) Student
    Yikes.
[12:36] (Flashback) Arakita
    I told you I was right.
[12:40] (Flashback) Arakita
    Fine.
[12:42] (Flashback) Arakita
    I'll take you on anytime.
[12:45] (Flashback) Arakita
    I'll show you how I ride when
    all I have is cycling!
[12:52] Kuroda
    That was how I met Arakita Yasutomo-san.
[12:55] Arakita
    I can smell it. I smell the finish line.
[12:59] Arakita
    We're getting closer to our last finish line!
[13:03] Arakita
    Fuku-chan!
[13:05] Fukutomi
    Yeah.
[13:07] Arakita
    Bring it on, Kuroda!
[13:11] Kuroda
    Arakita-san's razor-sharp cornering
    is his greatest strength.
[13:17] Kuroda
    He's hardly applying the brakes.
[13:18] Kuroda
    Only when he feels the
    load will lose out to the
[13:21] Kuroda
    sideways G's does he brake for a moment.
[13:23] Kuroda
    He's exceptionally good
    at it, but that's not all.
[13:28] Kuroda
    He rides like his life depends on it.
[13:30] Kuroda
    Keep up, Ashikiba!
[13:35] Kuroda
    I abandoned the mountains.
    I withdrew from that race...
[13:38] Kuroda
    To take this finish line.
[13:42] Kuroda
    To reach the first line in the parking
    lot at the bottom of this hill.
[13:50] Kuroda
    And for one more thing.
[13:52] Kuroda
    To overcome you today!
[13:58] Izumida
    It should be soon.
[14:00] Izumida
    It's about the right time.
[14:02] Shinkai
    You're right.
[14:03] Shinkai
    I wonder if Juichi and Yasutomo will win.
[14:06] Izumida
    We won't lose.
[14:09] Izumida
    Yuki—Kuroda-kun is a climber,
[14:12] Izumida
    but he should've hung back during
    the mountain stage in order to
[14:14] Izumida
    help the team achieve victory.
[14:17] Shinkai
    You two are close, right?
[14:19] Izumida
    Our houses are close.
[14:21] Izumida
    In the past, he would've charged ahead.
[14:24] Izumida
    But he's changed since then.
[14:29] Izumida
    Instead of seeing himself as the center,
[14:32] Izumida
    he's started viewing himself as
    a part of the rest of the world.
[14:36] Izumida
    His ability to determine the appropriate
    action he should take in those situations
[14:39] Izumida
    has become extremely accurate.
[14:41] Izumida
    He quit playing basketball
    and baseball for fun.
[14:45] Izumida
    He started focusing on cycling.
[14:48] Izumida
    He can do it.
[14:49] Izumida
    I should know.
[14:52] Izumida
    He's always had great potential.
[14:55] Arakita
    Kuroda!
[14:58] Kuroda
    Arakita-san!
[15:00] Arakita
    His smell has changed.
    Is he going to go for it now?
[15:04] Kuroda
    I'll overtake you.
[15:08] Kuroda
    I'll overtake you!
[15:15] Arakita
    He kept up with my corner entry!
[15:19] Arakita
    What's up with those legs?
[15:21] Arakita
    How are they so flexible?
[15:25] Arakita
    You're still pedaling?
[15:27] Kuroda
    Arakita-san, I hated you.
[15:32] Kuroda
    When I lost our first race,
    I seriously thought about hitting you.
[15:36] Kuroda
    I didn't want to admit you
    were right, so I trained.
[15:42] (Flashback) Kuroda
    Damn it. Why?
[15:44] Kuroda
    But I couldn't win.
[15:46] Kuroda
    That's why I made up my mind.
[15:49] (Flashback) Arakita
    What did you want to talk about, Kuroda?
[15:53] (Flashback) Arakita
    Huh?
[15:57] (Flashback) Kuroda
    Tell me how I can get stronger!
[16:00] (Flashback) Kuroda
    Please, Arakita-san!
[16:02] Kuroda
    I asked you directly how to become stronger.
[16:06] (Flashback) Arakita
    Ha, idiot!
[16:08] (Flashback) Arakita
    Don't think you can get whatever
    you want just by bowing.
[16:14] (Flashback) Arakita
    But...
[16:15] (Flashback) Arakita
    Your desire must be pure if you're willing
    to bow your head to the guy you hate most
[16:20] (Flashback) Arakita
    in order to become stronger.
[16:22] (Flashback) Arakita
    Not bad.
[16:24] (Flashback) Arakita
    You managed to throw away your pride.
[16:27] (Flashback) Kuroda
    What?
[16:29] (Flashback) Arakita
    Steal someone else's way to get stronger.
[16:32] (Flashback) Arakita
    That's what I did.
[16:34] (Flashback) Arakita
    You can do that, can't you?
[16:37] (Flashback) Arakita
    That's the type of person you are.
[16:42] Kuroda
    Arakita-san, I only have
    gratitude for you now.
[16:47] Kuroda
    From you, I learned the joy
    of being single-minded!
[16:52] Arakita
    Took you long enough, Kuroda.
[16:55] Arakita
    I can't believe you're
    just growing now, idiot.
[17:00] Arakita
    Sorry, Fuku-chan! I let them get ahead of us!
[17:04] Fukutomi
    Five hundred meters left!
[17:07] Kuroda
    Go, Ashikiba!
[17:07] Arakita
    Go, Fuku-chan!
[17:10] Kuroda
    Fukutomi-san's fast!
[17:14] Arakita
    You got ahead of me on the last turn.
[17:18] Arakita
    I wasn't expecting that.
[17:22] Arakita
    But I'm not complimenting you.
[17:24] Arakita
    What are you, stupid?
[17:26] Arakita
    You took too long to go all out, idiot.
[17:30] Kuroda
    Arakita-san...
[17:32] Kuroda
    That's plenty.
[17:34] Kuroda
    Thank you.
[17:37] Ashikiba
    Yuki-chan, thank you for your superb
    pulling and this superb position.
[17:43] Ashikiba
    I'll win. Don't worry.
[17:46] Ashikiba
    There's classical music
    playing inside my head!
[17:57] Ashikiba
    My pulse is pounding.
[18:00] Ashikiba
    My body is overjoyed.
[18:02] Ashikiba
    My heart is dancing,
    telling me to spring forward.
[18:09] Ashikiba
    Swing the baton in time with the rhythm
[18:13] Ashikiba
    with all your might, Ashikiba Takuto!
[18:21] Fukutomi
    He's starting a spurt.
    It's his Metronome Dancing.
[18:31] Ashikiba
    Sorry. I'm going to win, Fukutomi-san.
[18:34] Ashikiba
    I never let anyone beat me twice.
[18:39] Fukutomi
    Is he trying to go even faster?
[18:41] Ashikiba
    That's the job of Hakone Academy's ace.
[18:47] Fukutomi
    Ashikiba!
[19:12] Ashikiba
    I finally won.
[19:18] Ashikiba
    I-I won.
[19:22] Ashikiba
    Fukutomi-san.
[19:24] Fukutomi
    Yeah.
[19:29] Arakita
    How could you lose, Fuku-chan?
[19:33] Arakita
    Don't laugh at me.
[19:34] Kuroda
    Yeah! Nicely done, Ashikiba.
[19:38] Kuroda
    I'll pay you a million yen later as a bonus.
[19:41] Ashikiba
    R-Really?
[19:43] Kuroda
    No.
[19:45] Kuroda
    Hey, come on. You can't
    actually be disappointed.
[19:47] Ashikiba
    You're so mean, Yuki-chan.
[19:50] Arakita
    They're not bad.
[19:57] Izumida
    Thank you!
[19:58] All
    Thank you for three years of service!
[20:07] Kuroda
    Ashikiba!
[20:08] Kuroda
    Keep a straight face
    in front of the upperclassmen!
[20:19] Fukutomi
    This belongs here!
[20:28] Fukutomi
    Become stronger.
[20:30] Fukutomi
    And at next year's Inter-High...
[20:34] Fukutomi
    Return Hakone Academy to its rightful place!
[20:37] All
    Yes, sir!
