Kansei University's battle to achieve official records formally begins.
Having already achieved their official records, Musa, Jota, and Joji watch the race with Hanako.
Kakeru joins the lead pack and competes with exchange students from strong schools.
Meanwhile, the stagnating Shindo and Yuki utilize their strengths to make a strong effort towards achieving an official time.
During the final lap, Haiji's words cut through Kakeru's mind. "Do you like running?"
In that moment, something inside him opens, and Kakeru bangs out an astonishing time.
After the race, a lone reporter approaches Kakeru, and...
I think it'd be easier if he ran ahead.
أظنّ الأمر سيكون أسهل لو تقدّم للأمام
Ich denke, es wäre einfacher,
wenn er vorauslaufen würde.
Sería mejor que se adelantara un poco.
Sería mejor que se adelantara un poco.
Ça aurait été plus simple
de partir en tête.
Sarebbe più facile se corresse avanti.
Acho que seria mais fácil
se ele tomasse a frente.
Побежал бы вперёд — было бы проще.
