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!"
But I've only ever won when my body 
reacted instinctively, like it did now.
Aber ich habe immer nur gewonnen,
wenn mein Körper
Pero solo gané cuando mi cuerpo
reaccionaba por instinto como ahora.
Pero solo gané cuando mi cuerpo
reaccionaba por instinto como ahora.
mais j’ai gagné que quand mon corps
réagissait inconsciemment.
Ma le uniche volte in cui ho vinto sono state
Mas eu só venci quando meu corpo 
reagiu instintivamente, como agora.
Но побеждал всегда лишь благодаря
 инстинктивной реакции тела.
