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...
So I let them ride ahead, waiting until 
they relaxed and slowed down.
Deswegen ließ ich sie
etwas Abstand gewinnen,
Así que los dejé escapar
hasta que bajaron la guardia
Así que los dejé escapar
Je leur ai donc laissé
de la marge.
Perciò ho lasciato che si portassero avanti,
Então deixei eles se afastarem
até ficaram desprevenidos...
Потому я дал им проехать вперёд,
пока они не расслабились
