Team Sohoku resolves to approach the rest of the race with a new attitude. Meanwhile, the similarly defeated Midousuji of Kyoto Fushimi begins planning a new strategy for the second day's race... The morning of the second day dawns. Hakone Academy's Shinkai Yuto strikes up a conversation with Sakamichi. "Let's race at some point today."
