**[00:05] Fan**
Hakone Academy!
**[00:06] Fan**
Go!
**[00:08] Fan**
Go, Sohoku!
**[00:10] Fan**
Kyoto Fushimi!
**[00:15] Kaburagi**
Huh?
**[00:16] Teshima**
Kaburagi, how are you feeling?
**[00:18] Kaburagi**
Huh? What was that?
**[00:22] Kaburagi**
I can't hear anything over the crowd!
**[00:26] Teshima**
You seem pretty nervous.
**[00:28] Kaburagi**
Nervous?
**[00:29] Kaburagi**
About the Inter-High?
**[00:31] Kaburagi**
As if!
**[00:33] Teshima**
Your anger's misplaced...
**[00:35] Sakamichi**
I-Is Kaburagi-kun okay?
**[00:38] Aoyagi**
He collapsed yesterday.
**[00:40] Aoyagi**
He's experienced firsthand that the
Inter-High is bigger than he thought.
**[00:46] (Flashback) Kaburagi**
I'm pathetic.
**[00:51] (Flashback) Kaburagi**
I can't believe I collapsed.
**[00:53] (Flashback) Kaburagi**
Damn it.
**[00:54] (Flashback) Aoyagi**
I thought you didn't need to worry.
**[00:57] (Flashback) Aoyagi**
Isn't God on your side?
**[00:59] (Flashback) Kaburagi**
Yeah, but...
**[01:01] Aoyagi**
*He's not denying it.*
**[01:03] Aoyagi**
Kaburagi...
**[01:04] Kaburagi**
Huh? What was that, Aoyagi?
**[01:06] Teshima**
Hey, watch your mouth.
**[01:09] Aoyagi**
These are for you.
**[01:11] Kaburagi**
G-God's stationery?
**[01:13] Kaburagi**
Why do you have those?
**[01:14] Kaburagi**
So many of them, too!
**[01:16] Kaburagi**
Please...
**[01:17] Kaburagi**
Aoyagi.
**[01:17] Kaburagi**
Give those...
**[01:18] Kaburagi**
...to me!
**[01:19] Kaburagi**
What's your problem? Aren't they for me?
**[01:21] Aoyagi**
I was told to give them to
you at the appropriate time.
**[01:23] Kaburagi**
What does "appropriate" mean?
**[01:25] Both**
He's an idiot.
**[01:26] Aoyagi**
It means under the right circumstances.
**[01:30] Aoyagi**
First, calm yourself.
**[01:39] Kaburagi**
Got it!
**[01:42] All**
Aoyagi-san tamed Kaburagi!
**[01:45] Kaburagi**
I've regained my composure.
**[01:47] Aoyagi**
Good.
**[01:49] Kaburagi**
Now, give me the notes.
**[01:51] Aoyagi**
I'll give them to you if you follow me.
**[01:53] Kaburagi**
You cheapskate, Aoyagi!
**[01:54] Teshima**
You mean, "Aoyagi-san."
**[01:55] Kaburagi**
Sorry.
**[01:58] Aoyagi**
Follow me. Don't fall behind.
**[02:00] Kaburagi**
Piece of cake.
**[02:01] Announce**
The race will begin shortly.
**[02:04] Sakamichi**
I'm nervous. My hands are shaking.
**[02:08] Sakamichi**
But the start of the race won't wait.
**[02:12] Sakamichi**
I must calm myself and steel my resolve.
**[02:16] Sakamichi**
The second day of the Inter-High is starting.
***SIGN*** Yowamushi Pedal

***SIGN*** LINE.08 Second Day, Start!!
**[03:54] Announce**
The second day and stage of
the Inter-High has begun!
**[03:59] Imaizumi**
Let's go! It's the second day!
**[04:01] Imaizumi**
We won't lose today!
**[04:04] Naruko**
You're here, hotshot?
**[04:06] Imaizumi**
I'm here, Naruko.
**[04:14] Teshima**
The Inter-High follows special rules.
**[04:16] Teshima**
We start in the order we finished.
**[04:18] Teshima**
Yesterday we finished three minutes
and 15 seconds after first.
**[04:22] Teshima**
Today we start three minutes
and 15 seconds behind.
**[04:26] Sakamichi**
Yes, sir.
**[04:27] Kaburagi**
Why are you stopping me?
**[04:29] Kaburagi**
They already left!
**[04:31] Kaburagi**
Let's go! Aoyagi, come on!
**[04:33] Aoyagi**
How many times did I tell you we
start in the order we finished?
**[04:36] Kaburagi**
What?
**[04:38] Sakamichi**
Kaburagi-kun...
**[04:39] Teshima**
Onoda...
**[04:41] Teshima**
Before we start, I should thank you
for rescuing me in the mountains.
**[04:46] Teshima**
Thanks to you, I'm here to see this sight.
**[04:48] Ref**
Starting in ten seconds.
**[04:50] Teshima**
Just seeing this makes my hair stand on end.
**[04:51] Ref**
Nine, eight, seven, six...
**[04:53] Teshima**
This view from the second
day's starting line.
**[04:56] Ref**
Five, four, three, two, one!
**[05:00] Teshima**
Cycling really is the best.
**[05:04] Sakamichi**
Yes, sir!
**[05:11] Manami**
Huh?
**[05:12] Manami**
You're back, Teshima-san.
**[05:15] Teshima**
Hey, Manami.
**[05:16] Manami**
You were exhausted.
**[05:18] Teshima**
And who did that to me?
**[05:21] Teshima**
I recovered as only an ordinary man can.
**[05:24] Teshima**
Recovery is key in multi-stage races.
**[05:27] Manami**
I'm excited to see how you do.
**[05:30] Sakamichi**
Manami-kun seems happy.
**[05:32] Sakamichi**
Yesterday they fought, gave everything
they had, and came to understand each other.
**[05:37] Sakamichi**
Yesterday morning, they'd never
even spoken before.
**[05:41] Sakamichi**
Bicycles brought them together.
**[05:43] Sakamichi**
Manami-kun is happy Teshima-san
has returned to the race.
**[05:48] Sakamichi**
Bicycles really are amazing!
**[05:51] Sakamichi**
Let's go.
**[05:52] Sakamichi**
I don't know what will happen next,
**[05:55] Sakamichi**
but I'll follow this road to
the second day's finish line...
**[05:58] Sakamichi**
By the strength of all six of us!
**[06:03] Teshima**
The race has started!
**[06:04] Teshima**
Does everyone remember their orders?
**[06:06] All**
Yes, sir!
**[06:08] (Flashback) Teshima**
Let's go over the second day's course.
**[06:10] (Flashback) Teshima**
The race starts at yesterday's finish line.
**[06:13] (Flashback) Teshima**
We'll ride north on National Route 120,
**[06:16] (Flashback) Teshima**
which cuts through Senjougahara
at 1,400 meters above sea level.
**[06:19] (Flashback) Teshima**
The long, winding climb begins shortly
after the starting line,
**[06:23] (Flashback) Teshima**
and rises to approximately 1,800 meters.
**[06:25] (Flashback) Teshima**
The road leads to the Konsei Pass
and the Konsei Tunnel.
**[06:29] (Flashback) Teshima**
After clearing the pass,
we'll enter a long downhill.
**[06:34] (Flashback) Teshima**
Past the ski slope and lake is
a downhill-sloping flat road.
**[06:38] (Flashback) Teshima**
We'll pass by the scenic Fukiware Falls,
**[06:41] (Flashback) Teshima**
through Numata City where
Route 120 ends, then keep on riding.
**[06:46] (Flashback) Teshima**
It's the longest stage of the three-day race.
**[06:50] (Flashback) Teshima**
Imaizumi, meet up with Naruko immediately.
**[06:52] (Flashback) Both**
Yes, sir.
**[06:53] (Flashback) Teshima**
The rest of us will follow.
**[06:56] (Flashback) Teshima**
The mountains begin shortly after we start.
**[06:58] (Flashback) Teshima**
Onoda...
**[07:00] (Flashback) Teshima**
Climb as hard as you can and
catch up to Imaizumi and Naruko!
**[07:03] (Flashback) Onoda**
Yes, sir!
**[07:05] (Flashback) Onoda**
Those are practically the
same orders I got last year.
**[07:10] (Flashback) Teshima**
To be honest, Sohoku is barely hanging on.
**[07:13] (Flashback) Teshima**
But we have two advantages
going into the second day.
**[07:19] Fan 1**
It's the leading pack!
**[07:21] Fan 2**
Two Sohoku riders are in front!
**[07:24] (Flashback) Teshima**
First, we have two guys in the front.
**[07:26] (Flashback) Teshima**
Imaizumi and Naruko had nearly
the same times yesterday.
**[07:30] (Flashback) Teshima**
They'll be able to meet up immediately.
**[07:32] (Flashback) Teshima**
Together, they'll be able to
keep the other teams in check.
**[07:36] (Flashback) Teshima**
And if they use a rotation,
they can conserve their strength.
**[07:39] (Flashback) Teshima**
In other words, we can move
the front at our own pace.
**[07:44] Naruko**
Now this makes it easy to ride.
**[07:46] Naruko**
Try to catch up quickly, Teshima-san!
**[07:49] (Flashback) Teshima**
The other advantage is...
**[07:53] Sakamichi**
We've entered the mountains!
**[07:55] Sakamichi**
I'm moving up!
**[07:56] Teshima**
We're counting on you, Onoda!
**[07:59] (Flashback) Teshima**
Our other advantage isn't certain.
**[08:02] (Flashback) Teshima**
It depends on what Hakone Academy does.
**[08:04] (Flashback) Teshima**
If Hakone Academy slows its pace
when we enter the mountains,
**[08:07] (Flashback) Teshima**
move up and pedal as hard as you can.
**[08:10] (Flashback) Teshima**
It'll be our chance to get
ahead of Hakone Academy.
**[08:14] Sakamichi**
Hakone Academy isn't slowing down.
**[08:16] Teshima**
Not yet.
**[08:17] Kaburagi**
Teshima-san, weren't your
orders this morning too vague?
**[08:22] Kaburagi**
Move up if Hakone Academy slows down?
**[08:24] Kaburagi**
Why would they ever do that?
**[08:29] Sakamichi**
Hakone Academy is accelerating!
**[08:31] Teshima**
Don't fall behind, Onoda!
**[08:32] Sakamichi**
Yes, sir!
**[08:37] Teshima**
If we fall behind now,
having two riders in front
**[08:40] Teshima**
and our other chances will go up in smoke!
**[08:50] Sakamichi**
Hakone Academy is accelerating again!
**[08:52] Teshima**
Don't let them get away, Onoda!
**[08:53] Sakamichi**
Yes, sir!
**[08:57] Teshima**
Soon. They'll slow down soon.
**[09:01] Teshima**
That's what I would do.
**[09:03] Teshima**
We need to make them slow down!
**[09:05] Teshima**
Try to get ahead of Hakone Academy,
even if it's just for a second!
**[09:07] Teshima**
Once we make it past that turn...
**[09:11] Teshima**
Pull as hard as you can!
**[09:12] Sakamichi**
Yes, sir!
**[09:25] Sakamichi**
They...
**[09:26] Teshima**
They slowed down!
**[09:29] Kaburagi**
You can't be serious!
**[09:30] Kaburagi**
What's going on? Are they already exhausted?
**[09:32] Aoyagi**
No!
**[09:33] Teshima**
Go, Onoda!
**[09:34] Teshima**
Now's our chance to get ahead!
**[09:36] Sakamichi**
Yes, sir!
**[09:37] Kaburagi**
They actually slowed down.
**[09:39] Teshima**
It's what I would do.
**[09:41] Teshima**
Hakone Academy has one more,
Kuroda, left on their team!
**[09:45] Teshima**
Kuroda didn't move for a while after
he fell before the finish line.
**[09:50] Teshima**
He finished after we did.
**[09:54] Teshima**
Kuroda is part of Hakone
Academy's chain of command.
**[09:57] Teshima**
They'll want him to ride with them.
**[09:59] Kaburagi**
Wow...
**[10:01] Teshima**
That's how I knew they would slow down.
**[10:03] Teshima**
If we pass Hakone Academy
and keep up this pace,
**[10:05] Teshima**
Sohoku will have an overwhelming advantage!
**[10:08] Sakamichi**
Amazing.
**[10:09] Sakamichi**
The first day's results
have given us an advantage.
**[10:14] Kaburagi**
I thought they were exhausted.
**[10:22] Kaburagi**
Whoops!
**[10:24] Kaburagi**
I spaced out.
**[10:25] Kaburagi**
I could never fall behind here.
**[10:31] Sakamichi**
Teshima-san, is this pace okay?
**[10:35] Sakamichi**
We'll be able to group up
with the others soon.
**[10:37] Teshima**
Yeah. Keep it up, Onoda!
**[10:45] Kaburagi**
Huh? What?
**[10:52] Teshima**
Onoda, let's switch.
**[10:53] Onoda**
Yes, sir.
**[10:58] Teshima**
We can stay ahead of them while
they're picking up Kuroda!
**[11:01] Teshima**
Let's get our team together before they do!
**[11:03] Sakamichi**
Yes, sir!
**[11:04] Teshima**
What's wrong, Kaburagi?
**[11:06] Teshima**
I can't hear you!
**[11:07] Teshima**
Are you keeping—
**[11:11] Kaburagi**
What is it?
**[11:14] Kaburagi**
I answered.
**[11:16] Kaburagi**
We're headed for the front, right?
**[11:18] Kaburagi**
Let's get ahead of
Hakone Academy and that pig.
**[11:21] Teshima**
All right. I like your enthusiasm.
**[11:23] Teshima**
It'll be hard, but make sure you keep up.
**[11:26] Kaburagi**
Who do you think you're talking to?
**[11:28] Kaburagi**
I'm the genius all-rounder Kaburagi Issa!
**[11:31] Teshima**
Sounds promising.
**[11:35] Kaburagi**
That was close.
**[11:36] Kaburagi**
I couldn't keep up with the pace we're
keeping to pull ahead of Hakone Academy.
**[11:40] Kaburagi**
Someone as great as me...
**[11:43] Kaburagi**
Maybe I'm not in top shape.
**[11:46] Kaburagi**
I feel out of sync.
**[11:47] Kaburagi**
I did earlier, too.
**[11:49] (Flashback) Kaburagi**
Huh? What?
**[11:52] (Flashback) Kaburagi**
What?
**[11:53] (Flashback) Kaburagi**
Why are my feet on the ground?
**[11:55] (Flashback) Kaburagi**
I can't get left behind here.
**[11:57] (Flashback) Kaburagi**
This isn't good.
**[11:58] Kaburagi**
* I'm Kaburagi Issa, the man who*
* will make Sohoku stronger.*
**[12:02] Kaburagi**
* I'm secretly aiming to stand on the*
* highest point of the final winner's podium.*
**[12:08] (Flashback) Kaburagi**
Damn it!
**[12:14] Kaburagi**
It's so tough, I couldn't
respond to Teshima-san.
**[12:18] Aoyagi**
Are you keeping up?
**[12:20] Aoyagi**
It seemed like you were falling behind.
**[12:22] Kaburagi**
What? You must be seeing things!
**[12:24] Kaburagi**
Are you sure you don't need glasses?
**[12:25] Aoyagi**
I see.
**[12:29] Kaburagi**
I'm glad Aoyagi-san's an idiot.
**[12:31] Kaburagi**
I just have to make it
to the top of the pass.
**[12:34] Kaburagi**
Keep at it. You'll be okay.
**[12:37] Kaburagi**
They won't be able to group up with
third-year Kuroda that quickly, anyway.
**[12:44] Rider 1**
Hakone Academy's fallen back to the pack?
**[12:47] Rider 2**
What's going on?
**[12:47] Rider 2**
Is someone not feeling well?
**[12:49] Rider 3**
Doesn't look that way to me.
**[12:52] Rider 4**
Are they waiting for #12 so their
whole team can ride together?
**[12:55] Rider 5**
So they slowed down and
fell back to the pack?
**[13:00] Izumida**
Everyone's here now.
**[13:02] Izumida**
Let's go.
**[13:03] Izumida**
Abs ready...
**[13:05] Izumida**
Go!
**[13:06] Rider 3**
Hakone Academy's charging ahead!
**[13:08] Rider 3**
They're fast!
**[13:08] Rider 4**
There's still only five of them,
but it's like all six of them are there!
**[13:13] Rider 6**
The second day's going to get crazy.
**[13:15] Rider 6**
Sohoku's trying to stay ahead as four!
**[13:17] Rider 6**
Hakone Academy's chasing from behind as five!
**[13:23] Kaburagi**
I'm okay now. I've gotten used to the pace.
**[13:26] Kaburagi**
I won't fall behind.
**[13:28] Kaburagi**
I just have to keep climbing.
**[13:33] Kaburagi**
Please slow down a little...
**[13:36] Aoyagi**
Are you okay, Kaburagi?
**[13:37] Aoyagi**
You look pale.
**[13:39] Kaburagi**
What? I'm fine.
**[13:41] Kaburagi**
Maybe it's the light.
**[13:42] Kaburagi**
Seriously, I'm great.
**[13:45] Kaburagi**
Piece of cake.
**[13:48] Kaburagi**
I can't say it.
**[13:50] Kaburagi**
I can't ask them to lower the pace.
**[13:53] Kaburagi**
It would be too lame.
**[13:56] Kuroda**
Sorry, Touichirou.
**[13:58] Izumida**
We only did what made sense, Yuki.
**[14:01] Izumida**
We're stronger this way!
**[14:03] Manami**
Welcome back, Kuroda-san.
**[14:05] Kuroda**
Thanks, Manami. Have you been good?
**[14:07] Doubashi**
Don't drawl.
**[14:09] Doubashi**
You're not serious enough, Manami.
**[14:12] Izumida**
It's rising.
**[14:13] Izumida**
Just having Yuki around
raises the team's morale.
**[14:17] Izumida**
Think you've gotten ahead of us, Teshima-kun?
**[14:21] Izumida**
Did you think you'd have an
advantage if you caught up first?
**[14:26] Izumida**
Too bad.
**[14:28] Izumida**
You're not the ones who will
catch up to the front first.
**[14:32] Izumida**
Calm down, Frank.
**[14:34] Izumida**
It's a long ten-kilometer
climb to the Konsei Pass.
**[14:38] Izumida**
How long can you stay ahead?
**[14:40] Izumida**
Or...
**[14:43] Izumida**
Soon?
**[14:49] Kaburagi**
Damn, no way! Hakone Academy?
**[14:51] Kaburagi**
No! No!
**[14:54] Kaburagi**
Kaburagi Issa, you left
Hakone Academy behind!
**[14:57] Kaburagi**
Don't let them pass you!
**[15:01] Kaburagi**
What am I doing? What am I doing?
**[15:04] Kaburagi**
*Damn it.*
**[15:05] Kaburagi**
* I suddenly felt tired and*
* fell behind the team.*
**[15:08] Kaburagi**
* I only meant to rest for a second,*
* but I stepped off my bike and stopped.*
**[15:13] Kaburagi**
If I get left behind Hakone Academy,
my race will be over!
**[15:17] Kaburagi**
No!
**[15:19] Kaburagi**
It's not over yet!
**[15:22] Kaburagi**
Crap! This isn't good!
**[15:24] Kaburagi**
That's what my instincts are telling me!
**[15:26] Kaburagi**
I don't have time to worry
about Sohoku or Hakone Academy.
**[15:29] Kaburagi**
Jump on the wheel in front of you.
**[15:31] Kaburagi**
Then you'll make it to the front.
**[15:36] Kaburagi**
I can do it!
**[15:40] Kaburagi**
The pig's wheel...
**[15:48] Kaburagi**
I have a request, pig.
**[15:50] Kaburagi**
Take me to the front.
**[15:54] Kaburagi**
I'm your enemy.
**[15:55] Kaburagi**
I know you don't like having me behind you.
**[15:57] Kaburagi**
But...
**[15:58] Kaburagi**
I don't want it to end yet!
**[16:01] Kaburagi**
Let me ride here.
**[16:03] Kaburagi**
Please, pig!
**[16:07] Doubashi**
That's your pride?
**[16:10] Doubashi**
Sticking to your opponent's behind like crap,
**[16:14] Doubashi**
you want an easy ride to the best part,
so you can fight against us?
**[16:19] Doubashi**
Does your pride permit that?
**[16:22] Kaburagi**
No! Of course not!
**[16:25] Kaburagi**
But this is the only way!
**[16:27] Kaburagi**
I don't want to do this!
**[16:28] Kaburagi**
But my limbs are numb and won't
move the way I want them to!
**[16:32] Kaburagi**
I want to keep riding in the Inter-High!
**[16:34] Kaburagi**
Please!
**[16:38] Doubashi**
Then don't bother.
**[16:39] Doubashi**
You wouldn't be able to keep up
with Hakone Academy's pace anyway.
**[16:45] Doubashi**
You're a first-year, right?
**[16:47] Doubashi**
I'm a second-year.
**[16:48] Doubashi**
We'll race again next year
in a head-to-head battle!
**[16:53] Kaburagi**
Hey, wait!
**[16:55] Kaburagi**
Wait, pig!
**[16:58] Doubashi**
Bowing your head to your enemy,
**[17:00] Doubashi**
abandoning your pride, and frantically
searching for a lifeline...
**[17:04] Doubashi**
I don't mind guys like you.
**[17:08] Yuto**
#6, Sohoku's Kaburagi Issa, has fallen.
**[17:11] Izumida**
Yeah.
**[17:13] Izumida**
It only took a second.
**[17:17] Sakamichi**
Kabu...
**[17:20] Teshima**
I was so focused on catching up,
I didn't notice.
**[17:24] Teshima**
How long?
**[17:25] Teshima**
How long has Kaburagi been missing?
**[17:28] Teshima**
Did he fall behind on the way here?
**[17:31] Teshima**
What are you doing, Teshima Junta?
**[17:33] Sakamichi**
M-Maybe there's something
wrong with his bike.
**[17:36] Sakamichi**
Like a flat tire.
**[17:37] Teshima**
No, then he'd shout.
**[17:39] Teshima**
We've done it countless times in practice.
**[17:41] Teshima**
I told him to report any issues.
**[17:44] Sakamichi**
M-Maybe he's not feeling well.
**[17:48] Sakamichi**
But during this morning's meeting...
**[17:51] (Flashback) Teshima**
It'll affect our strategy.
**[17:53] (Flashback) Teshima**
Notify me if you don't feel well.
**[17:57] (Flashback) Kaburagi**
Piece of cake.
**[17:59] Teshima**
He likes to show off.
**[18:02] Teshima**
He was just acting fine in front of us.
**[18:05] Sakamichi**
He could've told me or Imaizumi-kun...
**[18:10] Teshima**
Koga said lone first-years try to take on
everything themselves at the Inter-High.
**[18:17] Sakamichi**
Koga-san...
**[18:19] Teshima**
Not having a classmate you can talk to
and being a first-year on top of that
**[18:26] Teshima**
puts an incredible amount of pressure on you.
**[18:29] Teshima**
So much is expected of them.
**[18:30] Teshima**
They're given orders, made to fight in
an Inter-High they know nothing about,
**[18:34] Teshima**
and pushed to their physical
and mental limits.
**[18:37] Teshima**
But they still desperately work
to meet expectations.
**[18:42] (Flashback) Koga**
That's how it is.
**[18:44] (Flashback) Koga**
They're so overwhelmed,
they don't listen to their own bodies.
**[18:48] (Flashback) Koga**
They only notice later,
once they've suffered damage.
**[18:51] (Flashback) Koga**
Just like I did.
**[18:53] (Flashback) Koga**
Watch Kaburagi closely.
**[18:57] (Flashback) Koga**
He's a reckless idiot.
**[19:00] (Flashback) Koga**
He's just like I used to be.
**[19:03] Sakamichi**
When Koga-san was a first-year, he...
**[19:07] Teshima**
After everything Koga said,
**[19:10] Teshima**
I took my eyes off him during a moment as
important as the start of the second day.
**[19:14] Teshima**
What am I doing?
**[19:16] Sakamichi**
As a first-year, Kaburagi-kun was
doing the best he could on his own.
**[19:21] Sakamichi**
In that case...
**[19:24] Sakamichi**
We have to go help him!
**[19:27] Sakamichi**
Let me help him, Teshima-san!
**[19:28] Sakamichi**
I'll drop back and bring
him back to the team!
**[19:31] Teshima**
Don't go, Onoda!
**[19:36] Teshima**
Don't. You can't fall back.
**[19:38] Teshima**
I won't allow you to help him.
**[19:39] Sakamichi**
What?
**[19:40] Teshima**
We'll catch up to the front.
**[19:42] Teshima**
That's our top priority!
**[19:45] Teshima**
We were lucky to get ahead
of Hakone Academy. Lucky!
**[19:49] Teshima**
We'll use this opportunity to
get our team together first!
**[19:53] Teshima**
If Hakone Academy gets all six members
together first, we won't stand a chance!
**[19:57] Sakamichi**
I'm saying I'll go alone!
**[20:00] Sakamichi**
I promise I'll bring him back!
**[20:02] Sakamichi**
So—
**[20:02] Teshima**
No!
**[20:04] Teshima**
It was the second day when you brought
Tadokoro-san back to the team last year, too.
**[20:08] Teshima**
Is that why you think you can do it?
**[20:10] Teshima**
It's different now, Onoda.
Get that through your head.
**[20:14] Teshima**
You're in a different
position from last year.
**[20:18] Teshima**
You're #1, last year's champion!
**[20:21] Teshima**
Not having #1 leading your
team is like night and day!
**[20:27] Teshima**
Who will stop Manami if he attacks?
**[20:29] Teshima**
Who will chase after Shinkai if he attacks?
**[20:32] Teshima**
Some moves can be stopped
just by having #1 there.
**[20:35] Teshima**
You have a job to do.
**[20:38] Teshima**
You can't do what you want
like you did last year.
**[20:44] Sakamichi**
Then Kaburagi-kun...
**[20:46] Sakamichi**
Kaburagi-kun, who worked so hard
during the first day's sprint...
**[20:51] Teshima**
We'll leave him behind.
**[20:55] Sakamichi**
Let's at least wait!
**[20:56] Sakamichi**
We can drop our pace,
so Kaburagi-kun can catch up!
**[20:59] Teshima**
We can't.
**[21:00] Sakamichi**
We can!
**[21:00] Teshima**
No. We can't, Onoda.
**[21:04] Teshima**
Look. Hakone Academy's right behind us!
**[21:12] Teshima**
Sorry, Kaburagi.
**[21:14] Teshima**
You worked so hard on the
first day as a first-year.
**[21:19] Teshima**
We'll catch up to the rest of the team!
**[21:20] Teshima**
Eyes forward, everyone!
**[21:23] Sakamichi**
Hakone Academy passed Kaburagi-kun.
**[21:27] Sakamichi**
He must be in pretty bad shape.
**[21:29] Sakamichi**
I need to go help him.
**[21:31] Sakamichi**
But I can't.
**[21:32] Teshima**
Face forward!
**[21:34] Sakamichi**
Yes, sir.
**[21:35] Aoyagi**
Junta, I just remembered
I have something to do.
**[21:40] Aoyagi**
Can I drop back?
**[21:45] Aoyagi**
I forgot an idiot behind us.
**[23:26] Doubashi**
Shut up!
