Teshima and Aoyagi win their sprint race against Kyoto Fushimi and rejoin their team. Sakamichi enjoys racing with all six of his team members, but it doesn’t last long. Aoyagi’s legs, which have been pulling the team with all their might in order to catch up to Hakone Academy, have been in pain since the previous day and are nearing their limit. Kaburagi can’t hold back his tears as he watches the upperclassman’s back. By taking on Aoyagi’s hopes and racing for the team, Kaburagi experiences great personal growth of his own.
Watching him ride at full 
power in front of me...
Wenn ich Aoyagis Rücken so sehe, …
Verlo correr a máxima potencia
frente a mí…
Verlo correr a toda potencia
frente a mí…
de celui que je respecte
le plus au monde,
Vedere Aoyagi davanti a me, 
che pedala con tutte le sue energie...
E quando eu o vejo correndo 
com força total...
Своими глазами видя его усилия…
