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…!
Are you laughing at me for 
jumping ahead, Kuroda?
Lachst du gerade
über meine Entscheidung, Kuroda?
¿Te ríes de mí por adelantarte, Kuroda?
¿Te ríes de mí por adelantarte, Kuroda?
T’es en train de te moquer
de mon échappée, Kuroda ?
In questo momento starai ridendo di me 
perché ho voluto scattare avanti, vero, Kuroda?
Está rindo de mim porque eu arranquei, Kuroda?
Смеёшься над тем, что я вышел 
вперёд, Курода?
