It's the night of the second day of the Inter-High. Sakamichi encounters Hakone Academy alum Toudou Jinpachi on a mountain road, who says he's riding because he received a call from someone. That man is... Makishima Yuusuke! As Sakamichi experiences a mix of surprise and joy, Makishima and Toudou begin to race! They tie again and again as they race a second, then a third time... Sakamichi's emotions rise as he watches them. After their race, Makishima tells Onoda to stay true to himself, and Onoda's resolve is renewed. Meanwhile, Manami's competitive spirit also swells upon hearing Toudou's words.
They are my opponents only when we race.
Ich sagte zwar, dass sie meine Gegner sind,
aber das gilt nur im Rennen.
Solo son mis oponentes cuando corremos.
Solo son mis oponentes cuando corremos.
Ça ne vaut que pour les courses.
Sono miei avversari solo nelle gare normali.
Eles só são meus oponentes
quando estamos competindo.
Мы противники только в гонках.
