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.
After achieving victory once, 
everyone relaxes mentally and physically.
Wer einmal gewinnt und sein Ziel erreicht,
Después de ganar una vez,
Después de ganar una vez,
Après avoir été sacré champion
et été libéré de cette pression,
Di solito, quello che succede dopo una vittoria
Quem conquista a vitória costuma
relaxar, tanto fisica quanto mentalmente.
Однажды вырвав победу, большинство
 людей расслабляются и отдыхают.
