The Kansei University track team accepts Kakeru's past and begins running once again.
Their hellish training camp continues, and once they return to the city, they busily engage in recruiting for the fan club, fundraising, and job hunting. The last traces of their amateurism fade as every one of them swells with the strength of a true athlete.
The ten of them sprint through a single fleeting summer.
As Hanako watches over their brilliant progress, they begin to see a certain path leading towards their future.
A single man's dream passes from one man to another.
Nico-chan and King draw ever closer to achieving official records. Only one man remains...
Since you're always in the front,
you probably haven't noticed,
ربما لم تلاحظ بما أنّك في المُقدمة دوماً
Como siempre estás delante,
de seguro no te has dado cuenta,
Como siempre vas delante,
seguro que no te has dado cuenta,
Tu ne le sais peut-être pas,
vu que tu cours toujours en tête,
Forse tu non lo sai, Kakeru,
 perché corri sempre davanti,
Talvez você não deve saber por correr
sempre com o grupo que lidera a corrida,
Ты всегда бежишь первым
и, наверно, не замечал,
