When Yuto first joined the team, he felt isolated from the other members due to his older brother Hayato. After seeing Yuto clash with his seniors, Ashikiba challenges him to a race. It ends with a crushing victory for Ashikiba, and Yuto learns to respect him and his strength. During the finish line sprint on the second day of the Inter-high, Ashikiba entrusts Yuto with the responsibility of being the team's ace. He overturns his own assumptions that he's a climber with a fierce sprint, catching up to Imaizumi and Midousuji! But as Midousuji and Yuto race against each other, Imaizumi thinks of his teammates and removes his own "limiter!"
They're only thirty meters behind,
but at the finish line of a road race,
Sind zwar nur 30 Meter zurück,
aber kurz vor der Ziellinie
¡Están a solo 30 metros,
pero tan cerca de la línea de meta
¡Están a solo 30 metros,
pero al estar cerca de la meta
Ils sont juste 30 m derrière,
Sono indietro solo di trenta metri,
Eles estão 30 metros atrás, mas
 na reta final de uma prova,
Они разошлись всего на 30 метров, 
но на финишной черте гонки
