The battle for the sprint result has begun. Hakone Academy sends its captain and sprinter Izumida against Kyoto Fushimi's Kishigami Komari, the man obsessed with Izumida's "ultimate muscles!" Izumida recalls how Ashikiba and Kuroda encouraged him when he lost the previous year's Inter-high and felt conflicted about whether or not he was worthy of captaining the team. Carrying all his guilt and resolve on his back, Izumida sprints ahead! But Kishigami's obsession with the "ultimate muscles" drives him to keep up!
His pedaling is driving his sprocket
 with almost perfect efficiency.
Seine Beine treten
so in die Pedale,
Su modo de transmitir potencia a los
piñones con el pedaleo es muy eficiente.
El modo de convertir el pedaleo
en potencia de piñones es muy eficiente.
Ses jambes pédalent assurément
La sua pedalata fa girare la ruota dentata
con un'efficienza quasi perfetta.
A pedalada dele extrai uma eficiência
 quase perfeita das engrenagens.
Он педалирует, почти с идеальной 
частотой проворачивая звёздочку.
