Sakamichi turns his pedals in order to fulfill his promise to battle Manami at the Inter-high. He and his team catch up to Hakone Academy, but it's not the lead pack. Ashikiba and Midousuji have gone on ahead. Due to the change in circumstances, Manami tells Sakamichi that they can't battle. Teshima orders Sakamichi to go after the lead pack. Steeling his resolve, Sakamichi and Imaizumi race their pace. Meanwhile, at the lead pack, in contrast with Hakone Academy, Kyoto Fushimi, and Kumamoto Daiichi, Naruko battles alone, believing his teammates will catch up!
Just keeping up with us 
must put you at your limit.
Alleine mir zu folgen, muss dich
doch schon überstrapazieren.
Seguir con nosotros debe ser demasiado.
Seguir con nosotros
debe de ser demasiado.
Tu utilises déjà toutes tes forces
et ton mental pour nous suivre, non ?
Tenere il nostro ritmo
 dev'essere già quasi troppo.
Você deve estar exausto
só de ter nos acompanhado.
Должно быть, тебе тяжело
 даже просто поспевать за нами.
