The twins and Musa achieve official records, and the residents of the Chikusei-so feel there's hope for them. However, Shindo and Yuki begin to panic as they fail to beat their personal records for close to a month. Haiji tries to reason with them, but words alone aren't enough to save them. Meanwhile, the heavy rains continue, impeding the progress of the residents.
The other residents grow concerned as Shindo continues to work hard at practice and his studies. Meanwhile, Kakeru and Haiji spot champion Fujioka Kazuma in a track and field magazine...
The mud makes it too hard
to run. I'm against it.
الطين يجعل العدو صعباً، أنا مُعارض
Cuesta correr por el lodo. Me opongo.
Cuesta correr por el barro. Me opongo.
Correre con il fango è più difficile, non se ne parla.
A lama deixa tudo difícil, sou contra.
Ноги будут вязнуть в грязи! Я пас!
