Two kilometers from the finish line, Sakamichi receives his final orders from Imaizumi and is entrusted with winning the race. He steels his resolve and chases after Manami. In early spring before the Inter-High, Sakamichi and Manami bump into each other at the aquarium Team Sohoku visited on their way back from a race. There they promise to go all out against each other at the summer's Inter-High. When they end up racing for the finish line on the final day, despite their bewilderment and their teams' victories weighing upon them, they are delighted by their fated race against each other.
It was fate that brought us together.
Niemals, das ist Schicksal!
Somos dos hombres con un mismo destino.
Somos dos hombres con un mismo destino.
C’est un destin inexorable
qui nous réunit !
È stato il destino a far incrociare le nostre strade!
Não! Foi o destino quem nos uniu!
Нас свела сама судьба!
