Before the race, Captain Teshima told Sakamichi that he wouldn’t be the mountain ace at this Inter-High so the team could focus on taking out Hakone Academy’s formidable climber Manami early during their first attack. However, in order to close the unexpected gap created by Izumida’s sprint, Teshima sacrifices himself and pulls the team. The passionate vibrations of every step he takes forward reach not only Sakamichi and the rest of Team Sohoku but Hakone Academy ace Ashikiba as well…!
If one of the two guys who left can't keep up,
 the other will take the finish line.
Wenn einer von den beiden vorne
nicht mehr mithalten kann,
Si uno de esos dos no aguanta el ritmo,
el otro llegará a la meta.
Si uno de esos dos no aguanta el ritmo,
el otro llegará a la meta.
Si l’un des deux échappés
se fait larguer,
Se uno dei due in testa non riuscirà a reggere,
l'altro conquisterà il traguardo finale.
Se um dos dois caras que arrancaram não conseguirem
manter o passo, o outro vai cruzar a linha de chegada.
Если кто-то из них не выдержит, 
то второй уйдёт вперёд к финишу.
