[00:01] Aoyagi
    Junta, I just remembered
    I have something to do.
[00:06] Aoyagi
    Can I drop back?
[00:11] Aoyagi
    I forgot an idiot behind us.
[00:15] Teshima
    You can't! Hakone Academy is approaching!
[00:17] Teshima
    We can't lose anyone else!
[00:20] Aoyagi
    I promise, I'll bring him back.

[01:53] Teshima
    I'm telling you not to
    because you can't, Aoyagi!
SIGN    LINE.09 Sash of Wishes
[01:57] Teshima
    You must understand.
[01:58] Teshima
    Makishima-san must've said the
    same thing to Onoda last year.
[02:03] Teshima
    Dropping back is easy.
[02:05] Teshima
    But bringing someone back with
    you takes twice as much strength.
[02:10] Teshima
    It's a gamble.
[02:12] Teshima
    And we're 1,800 meters up in the mountains.
[02:16] Teshima
    You're a sprinter. You can't do it.
[02:19] Teshima
    Letting you go back to save him now
[02:22] Teshima
    would be the same as losing two
    members of our six-man team.
[02:27] Aoyagi
    We'll be stronger with all six of us.
[02:32] Aoyagi
    I'm bringing him back.
[02:34] Teshima
    Aoyagi, I can give you about seven more
    reasons why your choice is reckless.
[02:40] Teshima
    Wanna hear them?
[02:42] Aoyagi
    No, I'm good.
[02:45] Teshima
    You're going, then?
[02:46] Aoyagi
    I'm going.
[02:51] Teshima
    Then this is goodbye.
[02:55] Sakamichi
    A-Aoyagi-san...
[02:57] Sakamichi
    You're going to rescue Kaburagi-kun
    and come back, right?
[03:01] Aoyagi
    There are no certainties in road racing.
[03:04] Aoyagi
    Junta's right. This is reckless.
[03:06] Aoyagi
    You must always be prepared
    for your plans to fail.
[03:10] Teshima
    We're third-years. This is our last race.
[03:14] Teshima
    If you can't make it back, this will
    be the last time we ride together.
SIGN    Certain
[03:22] Teshima
    Thanks for riding with me these
    last three years, Hajime.
[03:27] Teshima
    Our two-man team was the greatest.
[03:35] Aoyagi
    Yeah, Junta.
[03:39] Both
    I made it this far because of you.
[03:44] Teshima
    Our two-man team...
[03:46] Teshima
    ...is dissolved!
[03:47] Sakamichi
    Aoyagi-san!
[03:49] Aoyagi
    Don't look back, Onoda.
[03:50] Aoyagi
    Ride with Junta and reach the
    front before Hakone Academy.
[03:54] Aoyagi
    Support Imaizumi and Naruko as best you can.
[03:57] Sakamichi
    Yes, sir!
[03:58] Aoyagi
    That's your job!
[04:01] Sakamichi
    Yes!
[04:02] Aoyagi
    Junta, tell me one last thing.
[04:06] Aoyagi
    Those seven more reasons my choice
    is reckless... Is there an eighth?
[04:11] Teshima
    What? The eighth?
[04:13] Teshima
    There's...
[04:16] Teshima
    There is one.
[04:18] Teshima
    It's a tiny shred of hope!
[04:24] Aoyagi
    Then pray the eighth
     turns out to be true, Junta!
[04:28] Sakamichi
    Aoyagi-san's been swallowed
    by Hakone Academy!
[04:32] Teshima
    I know! Face forward!
[04:34] Teshima
    We'll catch them first! Raise the pace!
[04:37] Sakamichi
    Yes, sir!
[04:39] Yuto
    Sohoku's second rider has fallen.
[04:47] Kaburagi
    Damn it! I feel weak.
[04:50] Kaburagi
    Why?
[04:56] Kaburagi
    My limbs are heavy.
[04:57] Kaburagi
    My pedals are heavy.
[05:00] Kaburagi
    They've never felt this heavy before.
[05:02] Kaburagi
    Come on. Come on, strength!
[05:05] Obori
    I'm Fukuoka Josei's Obori!
[05:09] Obori
    You were showing off during yesterday's
    sprint, Sohoku's Kaburagi!
[05:13] Obori
    And now you're mine!
[05:14] Kaburagi
    You can't catch me!
[05:16] Obori
    I will!
[05:22] Teshima
    Kaburagi probably won't be able to
    group up with Aoyagi right away.
[05:26] Sakamichi
    What?
[05:28] Teshima
    He's too far behind.
[05:30] Teshima
    He may be trying to rescue him,
     but at the very least,
[05:33] Teshima
    Kaburagi will have to reach Aoyagi on his own.
[05:37] Teshima
    If his spirit is broken, and he's
    stopped moving, they'll never meet up.
[05:42] Sakamichi
    B-But...
[05:44] Teshima
    He'll be fine if someone's
    there to give him a push.
[05:48] Teshima
    But that won't happen.
[05:50] Teshima
    Before we started, nobody noticed
     that he wasn't feeling well.
[05:57] Kaburagi
    What am I going to do?
[06:00] Kaburagi
    Is this the end already?
[06:04] Koga
    Don't stop, Kaburagi!
[06:06] Kaburagi
    Huh?
[06:08] Koga
    Keep moving forward!
[06:12] Koga
    Put your feet on the pedals.
[06:14] Koga
    The race isn't over yet.
[06:17] Kaburagi
    Koga-san?
[06:19] Kaburagi
    Huh? What?
[06:21] Kaburagi
    What are you doing here?
[06:23] Kaburagi
    Did you warp here?
[06:24] Kaburagi
    Cast a magic spell?
[06:26] Koga
    There's no time to talk.
[06:28] Koga
    Focus on the race.
[06:29] Koga
    Put your feet on the pedals.
[06:32] Koga
    Move forward, Kaburagi!
[06:33] Koga
    Don't stop!
[06:36] Koga
    You must always move forward in a road race.
[06:39] Koga
    Standing still is the same as forfeiting.
[06:42] Koga
    If you abandon the Inter-High now...
[06:45] Koga
    I'll make sure you pay for it!
[06:47] Kaburagi
    Crap. He's serious.
[06:50] Kaburagi
    He wholeheartedly means
    everything he's saying.
[06:53] Kaburagi
    It has weight.
[06:55] Kaburagi
    I can feel it all the way to my fingertips.
[07:04] Kaburagi
    But...
[07:06] Koga
    Move!
[07:07] Kaburagi
    Yes, sir!
[07:08] Koga
    No matter what happens,
     keep moving forward, Kaburagi!
[07:12] Kaburagi
    Yes!
[07:13] (Flashback) Sugimoto
    Koga-san, the van is leaving soon.
[07:17] (Flashback) Koga
    Go on without me.
[07:18] (Flashback) Sugimoto
    Huh?
[07:20] (Flashback) Koga
    I'll stay here.
[07:21] (Flashback) Sugimoto
    What? Why do you want us
    to leave without you?
[07:25] (Flashback) Koga
    There's something bothering me.
[07:27] (Flashback) Koga
    You take command of the feed zone, Sugimoto.
[07:30] (Flashback) Sugimoto
    What? Wait a minute.
[07:33] Sugimoto
    What do you...
[07:33] Koga
    "I've been worried about
    Kaburagi since this morning."
[07:37] Koga
    It'd be a disaster if I said that,
    and it turned out to be true.
[07:41] (Flashback) Toji
    You're staying?
[07:43] (Flashback) Koga
    I imagined the worst case scenario.
[07:46] (Flashback) Toji
    For the team, huh?
[07:48] (Flashback) Toji
    If you stay now, you won't
    make it to the feed zone.
[07:54] (Flashback) Koga
    Sorry for being stubborn.
[07:59] Koga
    Let this hike have been a
    waste of time, Kaburagi.
[08:09] Koga
    But...
[08:11] Koga
    If you can't move...
[08:15] Koga
    Then I'll push you!
[08:18] Kaburagi
    A short push is fine,
[08:20] Kaburagi
    but a long push from anyone other than
    another rider is against the rules.
[08:23] Kaburagi
    I'll be penalized.
[08:24] Koga
    Then I'll push little by little.
[08:26] Koga
    That shouldn't be a problem.
[08:28] Koga
    Supporting you as best we can is our job!
[08:33] Kaburagi
    Koga-san...
[08:35] Koga
    Sohoku still has a chance.
[08:41] Kaburagi
    Sorry, Koga-san! Thank you!
[08:43] Koga
    So you can say "thank you," Kaburagi.
[08:48] Koga
    The old me thought it was natural.
[08:51] Koga
    That Teshima and Aoyagi
    were assigned to support us
[08:54] Koga
    because they didn't work hard enough.
[08:56] Koga
    That's not how it is.
[08:58] Koga
    We're able to move forward
    because we all support each other.
[09:01] Koga
    Believe that you'll rejoin the team!
[09:05] Kaburagi
    Yes, sir!
[09:06] Koga
    Imagine yourself returning
    to form as you ride!
[09:09] Kaburagi
    Yes, sir!
[09:10] Koga
    Keep racing and grow with
    everything you've got!
[09:16] Koga
    I know you can do it!
[09:18] Koga
    You have the most potential!
[09:20] Kaburagi
    Huh?
[09:24] Kaburagi
    Yes, sir!
[09:26] Kaburagi
    Imagine, imagine, imagine!
[09:30] Kaburagi
    Imagine your recovery!
[09:32] Ref
    Slow riders, please move to the left!
[09:36] Kaburagi
    Huh?
[09:38] Ref
    The pack is coming through!
[09:42] Koga
    The pack...
[09:48] Kaburagi
    The pack... passed us.
[09:52] Koga
    In an instant...
[09:54] Koga
    Even the pack passed him.
[10:05] Koga
    Someone stopped!
[10:09] Koga
    Go, Kaburagi! You can still make it!
[10:12] Koga
    Your teammate is waiting for you!
[10:13] Koga
    Tie your sash of wishes to his!
[10:16] Kaburagi
    Huh?
[10:18] Kaburagi
    He's right. I can see him.
[10:20] Kaburagi
    He's wearing a Sohoku jersey!
[10:25] Koga
    Go, Kaburagi!
[10:27] Koga
    Connect that thread of hope!
[10:34] Kaburagi
    Koga-san, thank you!
[10:37] Koga
    Who could have imagined it?
[10:40] Koga
    That as hands reached out to catch falling
    drops of hope, some would fall through...
[10:49] Koga
    And another hand would
    reach out to catch them.
[10:54] Kaburagi
    Thank you for waiting for me
    when I'm in such bad shape.
[11:00] Kaburagi
    Now I might be able to return to the team.
[11:03] Kaburagi
    My Inter-High...
[11:06] Kaburagi
    ...isn't over yet!
[11:08] Kaburagi
    Who is it? Teshima-san?
[11:10] Kaburagi
    Onoda-san?
[11:15] Kaburagi
    Huh?
[11:18] Kaburagi
    Aoyagi-san?
[11:19] Aoyagi
    That's right.
[11:21] Kaburagi
    Seriously?
[11:24] Kaburagi
    Aoyagi-san...
[11:26] Kaburagi
    You were riding in front of us during
    the chase, so we could reach the front.
[11:33] Kaburagi
    But you're...
[11:35] Aoyagi
    That's right.
[11:36] Kaburagi
    You're a third-year.
     This is your last Inter-high.
[11:40] Kaburagi
    But you're here now, which means...
[11:44] Aoyagi
    That's right.
[11:47] Kaburagi
    You fell behind the team, too?
[11:53] Kaburagi
    Did you fall behind the team, too?
[11:56] Aoyagi
    No!
[11:57] Aoyagi
    Can't you tell from the situation?
[11:59] Aoyagi
    I was waiting for you!
[12:01] Kaburagi
    The situation?
[12:03] Aoyagi
    Wait. Why do you look like
    you feel sorry for me?
[12:06] Kaburagi
    Oh, no.
[12:07] Kaburagi
    I understand. I get it.
[12:10] Kaburagi
    You don't want to admit that
    you fell behind the team.
[12:14] Kaburagi
    You're desperately trying to save face.
[12:16] Aoyagi
    Does he really not get it?
[12:17] Aoyagi
    He doesn't get it.
[12:19] Kaburagi
    I was hoping you were
    Onoda-san or Teshima-san.
[12:23] Aoyagi
    Who says that to someone's face?
[12:26] Aoyagi
    It doesn't matter. Follow me.
[12:31] Aoyagi
    Did Koga push him?
[12:34] Aoyagi
    You're the only one on
    Sohoku who saw this coming.
[12:38] Aoyagi
    You're the greatest support
    Sohoku has ever had, Kimitaka.
[12:44] Aoyagi
    Let's go, Kaburagi!
[12:45] Aoyagi
    We're going to reach the
    team at the front together!
[12:48] Kaburagi
    Seriously?
[12:50] Kaburagi
    You and me?
[12:52] Aoyagi
    That's right.
[12:53] Aoyagi
    It'll be hard, but we'll do it.
[12:55] Aoyagi
    So follow me. Don't fall behind.
[13:00] Aoyagi
    No complaining.
[13:03] Kaburagi
    Yes, sir!
[13:04] Kaburagi
    What's with this intensity?
[13:08] Aoyagi
    Supersonic Oxygen Muscle Climb!
[13:15] Aoyagi
    He's falling behind.
[13:18] Aoyagi
    He still doesn't feel well?
[13:20] Aoyagi
    If I raise my pace,
    Kaburagi will fall behind.
[13:25] Aoyagi
    He can't do what should be easy for him.
[13:27] Aoyagi
    What should I do?
[13:31] Kaburagi
    You're knitting your brows.
[13:32] Kaburagi
    You look pained, Aoyagi.
[13:36] Kaburagi
    You called it your "Muscle Climb,"
    but your pace has fallen so quickly.
[13:41] Aoyagi
    Whose fault is that?
[13:44] Kaburagi
    Then I don't have a choice, Aoyagi!
[13:49] Aoyagi
    Wh-What?
[13:52] Okutani
    See that? Sohoku's already
    lost two of their riders.
[13:55] Kawamoto
    They were doing so well yesterday.
[13:57] Kawamoto
    Maybe they're just not that good this year.
[14:00] Yamagiwa
    Enough, Kawamoto, Okutani.
[14:02] Okutani
    Yamagiwa-san...
[14:04] Yamagiwa
    #4 is trying to bring their
     out-of-form #6 back to the team.
[14:08] Okutani
    What? From back there?
[14:10] Kawamoto
    But that's impossible.
[14:11] Yamagiwa
    Maybe.
[14:13] Yamagiwa
    But last year they won from #170.
[14:19] Yamagiwa
    I think...
[14:21] Yamagiwa
    Sohoku might be strongest
    when they're facing adversity.
[14:28] Kaburagi
    I don't have a choice!
[14:30] Aoyagi
    What are you doing, Kaburagi?
[14:32] Aoyagi
    Why are you pulling?
[14:34] Aoyagi
    Fall back! I'll pull!
[14:36] Kaburagi
    Look at you showing off and pushing yourself.
[14:39] Kaburagi
    Fine, then.
[14:41] Kaburagi
    I'll pull, too!
[14:43] Aoyagi
    Hey, listen!
[14:45] Kaburagi
    I'm fine.
[14:47] Kaburagi
    I feel a little better now.
[14:51] Kaburagi
    Koga-san gave me power.
[14:55] Kaburagi
    "Grow."
[14:56] Kaburagi
    "You have great potential."
[14:59] Kaburagi
    You should quit showing off
     and rest behind me, Aoyagi.
[15:03] Aoyagi
    That's Aoyagi-*san *to you!
[15:05] Aoyagi
    I'll see how he does and
     move up if he drops his pace.
[15:12] Aoyagi
    Kaburagi's still pulling.
[15:17] Aoyagi
    Well, well. He's still pulling.
[15:20] Kaburagi
    You're a lot of trouble, Aoyagi.
[15:24] Aoyagi
    Huh? He's still pulling?
[15:27] Aoyagi
    What's going on?
[15:30] Aoyagi
    He's faster when he's pulling
    than when he's being pulled.
[15:36] Kaburagi
    Are you keeping up, Aoyagi?
[15:39] Aoyagi
    Yeah.
[15:40] Aoyagi
    How is this happening? But it's true.
[15:44] Aoyagi
    I'm a little surprised, though.
[15:46] Kaburagi
    By what? The view?
[15:49] Aoyagi
    I've never heard of the one being
    rescued pulling for his rescuer.
[15:55] Kaburagi
    The view is nice.
[15:59] Kaburagi
    Half of road racing is mental.
[16:02] Kaburagi
    If your spirit is broken, it's over.
[16:04] Kaburagi
    But if you have a goal, you can keep moving.
[16:08] Kaburagi
    He's doing his best to
    move forward to help me.
[16:14] Kaburagi
    He's still confused, though.
[16:17] Kaburagi
    Aoyagi, how are you feeling?
[16:20] Aoyagi
    Like I've been saying, I feel great.
[16:22] Kaburagi
    There you go again.
[16:24] Kaburagi
    You can be honest with me.
[16:27] Aoyagi
    In any case, he isn't just an idiot.
[16:31] Aoyagi
    He's a special idiot!
[16:35] Kaburagi
    Breathe with me!
[16:37] Kaburagi
    Ready and...
[16:41] Aoyagi
    This just might be...
[16:47] Kawamoto
    But isn't one of Sohoku's
    riders out of sorts?
[16:50] Yamagiwa
    That's right. The unexpected doesn't happen.
[16:54] Yamagiwa
    If they're able to catch up to the pack,
[16:56] Yamagiwa
    it'll be in a style that defies common sense.
[17:00] Rider A
    Someone's coming up from behind!
[17:06] Rider B
    It's the two Sohoku riders!
[17:09] Okutani
    Th-The redhead is in front!
[17:11] Kawamoto
    Isn't it the other way around?
[17:12] Kawamoto
    Didn't #4 go to save him?
[17:18] Kaburagi
    I see them!
[17:19] Kaburagi
    It's the pack that passed us earlier!
[17:24] Kaburagi
    We caught up to them!
[17:26] Aoyagi
    He's impressive.
[17:28] Aoyagi
    Just by imagining he was saving me,
     he pulled me until we could see the pack.
[17:36] Kaburagi
    We're almost there!
[17:38] Kaburagi
    Once we catch up and enter the pack,
    you'll be able to rest, Aoyagi!
[17:42] Aoyagi
    Yeah, you will.
[17:43] Aoyagi
    Your speech has gotten really casual.
[17:48] Kaburagi
    Let us reach them!
[17:51] Kaburagi
    Docking!
[17:53] Rider C
    Sohoku returned to the pack!
[17:56] Rider D
    But they were stopped earlier! Seriously?
[17:58] Rider E
    Who are those guys?
[18:02] Kaburagi
    We joined the pack...
[18:19] Aoyagi
    Did you feel exhausted for a second?
[18:22] Kaburagi
    What? N-No.
[18:24] Kaburagi
    I was just looking at a
    rare bug on the ground.
[18:28] Aoyagi
    What kind of bug?
[18:29] Kaburagi
    Huh? Uh, kinda like a rhinoceros beetle or a
     stag beetle. It's called a rhinostag beetle.
[18:37] Kaburagi
    So he barely made it through the first stage.
[18:40] Aoyagi
    I'd like to catch up to the team soon,
[18:43] Aoyagi
    but he's still not in top shape.
[18:45] Aoyagi
    It'll be easier for him in the pack,
    where there's less air resistance.
[18:49] Aoyagi
    I'll let him rest for a while.
[18:51] Kaburagi
    Anyway, you should get some rest, Aoyagi.
[18:53] Aoyagi
    Yeah, you should.
[18:56] Aoyagi
    But...
[18:59] Aoyagi
    Let's move up, Kaburagi!
[19:01] Kaburagi
    Huh?
[19:05] Aoyagi
    I get it. We're counting our opponents.
[19:09] Kaburagi
    One, two, three, four,
    five, six, seven, eight...
[19:11] Aoyagi
    I don't see them.
[19:13] Aoyagi
    Have they already left?
[19:15] Kaburagi
    Huh?
[19:17] Kaburagi
    Kyoto Fushimi's not in the pack.
[19:20] Aoyagi
    His ability to sniff out his
    opponents is first rate.
[19:25] Kaburagi
    This isn't good.
[19:28] Kaburagi
    Did I notice first?
[19:30] Aoyagi
    That doesn't matter.
[19:31] Kaburagi
    So you agree it was me, then?
[19:34] Aoyagi
    They have #116 this year, too.
[19:38] Aoyagi
    If they meet up with Midousuji...
[19:41] Komari
    M-Muscles!
[19:44] Aoyagi
    Sohoku will be at a massive disadvantage!
[19:48] Aoyagi
    The other strong teams are missing, too.
[19:51] Kaburagi
    Then we don't have time to rest, Aoyagi!
[19:54] Aoyagi
    I could say the same thing to you.
[19:57] Kaburagi
    We're ditching this pack, Aoyagi!
[20:01] Rider C
    Sohoku's pulling ahead!
[20:12] Aoyagi
    Did you see a rare bug?
[20:17] Aoyagi
    He understands the situation,
    but his body won't move.
[20:21] Aoyagi
    He must be frustrated.
[20:24] Aoyagi
    Did you see this coming too, Junta?
[20:28] Sakamichi
    What? They won't be able to escape the pack?
[20:31] Teshima
    Yeah, even if they do make it to the pack.
[20:35] Teshima
    Leaving the pack is fairly difficult.
[20:39] Teshima
    That's reason four of seven
    that his choice was reckless.
[20:43] Sakamichi
    Is it really impossible?
[20:47] Teshima
    It's a different story if he's
    made special preparations.
[20:51] Sakamichi
    Special preparations?
[20:55] Aoyagi
    Kaburagi, do you want to leave
    the pack, no matter what?
[20:59] Kaburagi
    Of course, damn it.
[21:02] Aoyagi
    What if there was a way?
[21:04] Kaburagi
    Huh?
[21:06] Kaburagi
    Do you have something?
[21:09] Aoyagi
    I wasn't expecting to use this here.
[21:11] Kaburagi
    I'll do anything.
[21:13] Kaburagi
    Tell me!
[21:19] Aoyagi
    It's this.
[21:21] Kaburagi
    G-God's stationery?
[21:24] Kaburagi
    I knew God would come through.
[21:25] Kaburagi
    He's written a hint on it.
[21:27] Kaburagi
    The princess...?
[21:31] Aoyagi
    Those are the lyrics to a certain song.
[21:35] Kaburagi
    "You are the princess"?
[23:15] Kaburagi
    Hikki the Third, grow up big and strong!
[23:18] Aoyagi
    Hey.
[23:20] Kaburagi
    Huh?
[23:21] Aoyagi
    What are you doing?
[23:24] Kaburagi
    Wait!
[23:28] Kaburagi
    Hey! What was that for?
[23:30] Kaburagi
    What about my Hikki-san?
[23:32] Kaburagi
    You idiot!
[23:35] Aoyagi
    Is he still a kid?
