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.
Our twin aces are pulling the team, and our 
best climber is letting me lean on him.

Las estrellas tiran del equipo y 
el mejor escalador me está ayudando.
Nuestros ases tiran del equipo y nuestro
mejor escalador me está ayudando.
Les deux chefs de file nous tirent,
et le meilleur grimpeur me soutient.
I nostri due assi stanno tirando e il nostro 
miglior scalatore mi sta facendo da stampella.
Nossos ases estão puxando o time,
e nosso escalador está me apoiando...
Двое вместо меня ведут команду,
а Онода даёт на себя опереться!
