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!
I hate people like him more than anything.
Ich hasse solche Typen
wie ihn am meisten.
Odio a la gente como él más que nada.
Odio a la gente como él más que nada.
Je déteste les gars comme lui…
les snobinards de son genre !
Detesto quelli come lui 
più di qualunque altra cosa.
Não tem nada que eu odeio
mais do que gente como ele...
Таких, как он, я больше всего ненавижу.
