Sakamichi and Yuto's battle has begun. Yuto is excited to compete against Sakamichi, who has come to be called the Mountain King, and challenges him to a race to reach their teammates riding at the front. Yuto finds Sakamichi's willingness to "ride for the team" strange and races ahead. However, Imaizumi and Naruko realize Sakamichi is coming, and the race ends in a draw. However, Kuroda and the rest of Hakone Academy catch up, and they take control of the race. Will they go after them or wait for Teshima... Imaizumi is forced to make a decision...
Last year, I couldn't give 
him those rice balls.
Letztes Jahr konnte ich
ihm die Reisbällchen nicht geben!
El año pasado no le di el arroz.
El año pasado no le di el arroz.
L’an dernier, j’ai pas pu lui donner
mes boulettes de riz, mais cette fois…
L'anno scorso non sono riuscita
a dargli quegli onigiri.
Ano passado, não consegui
entregar os bolinhos de arroz...
В прошлом году я не смогла
передать ему онигири.
