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...
I guess it's because we went through
that hellish Lake Shirakaba experience.
ربما لأنّنا مررنا بتمرين بحيرة شيراكابا الفظيع ذلك
¿Será porque salimos vivos
del infierno del lago Shirakaba?
¿Será porque salimos vivos
del infierno del lago Shirakaba?
Sarà colpa di quell'esperienza 
da incubo al lago Shirakaba.
Deve ser porque passamos por
aquele inferno no lago Shirakaba.
Всё потому, что мы прошли
через ад на озере Сиракаба.
