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…!
but he narrowly lost the 
first day's mountain battle.
aber während der ersten Bergetappe
war er nur ganz knapp Zweiter.
pero perdió por poco
la batalla de la montaña del primer día.
pero perdió por poco
la batalla de la montaña del primer día.
Le premier jour,
il a frôlé le prix du grimpeur.
ma nella prima giornata ha perso
per un soffio la sfida sulle montagne.
mas perdeu a batalha na montanha
do primeiro dia por pouco.
он чуть-чуть не дотянул 
до победы на первый день.
