The residents of the Chikusei-so go to Tokyo Sport University in order to attend their first track meet. While there, Kakeru is reunited with his old teammate Sakaki Kosuke. Sakaki persistently attempts to provoke Kakeru. When Haiji tries to stop them, a man calls out to him. That man is the champion of Hakone and Rikudo University's ace, Fujioka Kazuma.
The steepest in the world! Let's go!
!الأشدّ شهقاً في العالم! لننطلق
… sind steiler als alles!
Und nun losmarschiert!
¡Los más empinados! ¡Vamos!
¡Los más empinados! ¡Vamos!
… les plus escarpées !
C’est parti !
Sono le più ripide del mondo!
As mais íngremes do mundo! Vamos!
…чем горы Хаконэ! Вперёд!
