Teshima and Aoyagi break away from the pack to pursue the riders ahead of them, but Kyoto Fushimi stands in their way. In order to complete the objective given to him by Midousuji, Yamaguchi challenges Teshima and Aoyagi to a sprint that comes with a catch. As a climber, the terms are disadvantageous for Teshima, but they can’t move forward without accepting the challenge. Out of concern for Aoyagi, who can’t sprint at full speed due to an injured leg, Teshima pulls him along, and Aoyagi recalls how they met as he watches him…
He'll lose speed the moment he's launched.
Wenn Aoyagi loslässt,
wird er an Geschwindigkeit verlieren!
Perderá velocidad en cuanto lo lance.
Perderá velocidad en cuanto lo lance.
Il perdra en vitesse
dès qu’il l’aura propulsé !
Perderà velocità appena lo lascerà!
Ele vai perder velocidade 
quando for lançado!
Потеряет скорость сразу!
