When Yuto first joined the team, he felt isolated from the other members due to his older brother Hayato. After seeing Yuto clash with his seniors, Ashikiba challenges him to a race. It ends with a crushing victory for Ashikiba, and Yuto learns to respect him and his strength. During the finish line sprint on the second day of the Inter-high, Ashikiba entrusts Yuto with the responsibility of being the team's ace. He overturns his own assumptions that he's a climber with a fierce sprint, catching up to Imaizumi and Midousuji! But as Midousuji and Yuto race against each other, Imaizumi thinks of his teammates and removes his own "limiter!"
First it was a feint made 
to look like a sprint.
Zuerst wollte er eine Finte
wie einen Spurt aussehen lassen …
Primero era una finta
que parecía un esprint.
Primero era una finta
que parecía un esprint.
Il nous a d’abord fait croire
qu’il sprintait
La prima era una finta mascherata da scatto.
Primeiro, foi uma finta que
 parecia uma arrancada...
Поначалу обманка, похожая на српинт.
