While walking home with Musa, Kakeru runs into reigning champion Rikudo's Fujioka Kazuma.
When Kakeru can't let go of the inconsiderate remarks made by some passers-by, Fujioka methodically and without faltering shows him the answer.
Then Fujioka tells them about his shared history with Haiji.
The burden Haiji has borne alone. The response he gave to Fujioka.
In Fujioka's words, Kakeru begins to sense the meaning of the "strength" Haiji once described to him.
Meanwhile, Haiji is at a consultation with his doctor.
His eyes are glued to the harsh reality they see...
I've watched how all of you run
for the past ten months.
راقبتُ ركضكم طوال العشرة أشهر الفائتة
In den letzten zehn Monaten
habe ich euch beim Laufen beobachtet.
Los he visto correr
los últimos diez meses.
Os he visto correr
los últimos diez meses.
J’ai observé vos courses à tous
pendant dix mois.
Vi ho osservato correre in questi dieci mesi
Observei todos vocês correrem
durante esses 10 meses.
За десять месяцев я вдоволь
насмотрелся на ваш бег.
