Two kilometers from the finish line, Sakamichi receives his final orders from Imaizumi and is entrusted with winning the race. He steels his resolve and chases after Manami. In early spring before the Inter-High, Sakamichi and Manami bump into each other at the aquarium Team Sohoku visited on their way back from a race. There they promise to go all out against each other at the summer's Inter-High. When they end up racing for the finish line on the final day, despite their bewilderment and their teams' victories weighing upon them, they are delighted by their fated race against each other.
Until then, stay out of the wind 
and preserve your strength.
Bleib bis dahin in meinem Windschatten
und schone deine Beine,
Hasta entonces,
evita el viento y ahorra fuerzas.
Hasta entonces,
evita el viento y ahorra fuerzas.
Protège-toi du vent
et préserve tes jambes,
Fino a quel momento, 
evita la resistenza del vento e conserva le energie.
Fique protegido do vento e conserve
as suas forças até lá.
Пока держись за мной и экономь силы.
