Fearing the team will get worse now that the third-years are gone, Imaizumi makes a shocking suggestion to Naruko in order to help the team win. After hearing his suggestion, Naruko heads back to his hometown of Osaka.
If I fail here, I'll have failed 
as a sprinter. I'll give it up.
Sollte ich hier verlieren,
würde ich als Sprinter durchfallen.
Si pierdo aquí, no soy digno
de ser esprínter. Lo dejaré.
Si pierdo aquí, es que no soy digno
de ser esprinter. Lo dejaré.
Si je perds sur cette route,
je serai la risée des sprinteurs.
Se mi batterà, vorrà dire che non valgo niente 
come velocista, e mollerò il ruolo.
Se eu perder, terei falhado
como velocista e desistirei do papel.
