Before the race, Captain Teshima told Sakamichi that he wouldn’t be the mountain ace at this Inter-High so the team could focus on taking out Hakone Academy’s formidable climber Manami early during their first attack. However, in order to close the unexpected gap created by Izumida’s sprint, Teshima sacrifices himself and pulls the team. The passionate vibrations of every step he takes forward reach not only Sakamichi and the rest of Team Sohoku but Hakone Academy ace Ashikiba as well…!
Don't you think it's fitting 
for a race between us?
Passt doch zu uns, wie damals …
¿No crees que es poético
para una carrera entre nosotros?
¿No crees que es poético
para una carrera entre nosotros?
C’est l’endroit idéal
pour nous départager.
Una gara adatta a me e te, che ne dici?
Não acha que é apropriado
pra essa nossa disputa?
Разве это не подходит нашей гонке?
