Imaizumi wins the battle in the rain and rides in the lead. Sakamichi catches up to him, and Sugimoto and the other supporting members cheer for Team Sohoku as they ride alone in the lead. While Sohoku goes for the one-two finish, Kuroda and Manami of Hakone Academy close in from behind. Kuroda sends off Manami, who instantly jumps into the lead. The dangerous situation leaves Sakamichi bewildered, but there's only one thing he can do for the team. Imaizumi gives him the final order of taking their jersey to the finish line, and Sakamichi chases after Manami at full power...!
All those racing against him could 
do was watch his back recede.
Die anderen Fahrer können ihre Blicke
nicht von ihm abwenden.
Lo único que podían hacer sus rivales
era ver su espalda alejarse.
Lo único que podían hacer sus rivales
era ver su espalda alejarse.
Ceux qui roulent avec lui
ne l’aperçoivent que de dos.
I suoi avversari non potevano fare altro 
che guardare la sua schiena allontanarsi.
Todos que o enfrentaram acabaram
assistindo seu corpo sumir ao longe.
Все его соперники могли лишь 
смотреть на его удаляющуюся спину.
