Before the race, Captain Teshima told Sakamichi that he wouldn’t be the mountain ace at this Inter-High so the team could focus on taking out Hakone Academy’s formidable climber Manami early during their first attack. However, in order to close the unexpected gap created by Izumida’s sprint, Teshima sacrifices himself and pulls the team. The passionate vibrations of every step he takes forward reach not only Sakamichi and the rest of Team Sohoku but Hakone Academy ace Ashikiba as well…!
Until a moment ago, I was pulling 
my team at full strength,
Bis vorhin habe ich mit aller Kraft
mein Team mitgezogen.
Hasta hace un momento,
estaba tirando al máximo de mi equipo
Hasta hace un momento,
estaba tirando al máximo de mi equipo
je tirais mon équipe à bloc
peu de temps auparavant
Un attimo fa stavo tirando
a tutta velocità per la mia squadra,
Até um minuto atrás, eu estava puxando
meu time com todas as minhas forças,
Ещё недавно я тянул команду изо всех сил,
