Imaizumi wins the battle in the rain and rides in the lead. Sakamichi catches up to him, and Sugimoto and the other supporting members cheer for Team Sohoku as they ride alone in the lead. While Sohoku goes for the one-two finish, Kuroda and Manami of Hakone Academy close in from behind. Kuroda sends off Manami, who instantly jumps into the lead. The dangerous situation leaves Sakamichi bewildered, but there's only one thing he can do for the team. Imaizumi gives him the final order of taking their jersey to the finish line, and Sakamichi chases after Manami at full power...!
I was at my limit, my body was exhausted, 
and the rain made everything slippery.
Das war so knapp, …
Iba al límite, estaba agotado
y me resbalaba por culpa de la lluvia.
Iba al límite, estaba agotado
y todo resbalaba por culpa de la lluvia.
Au coude à coude,
Ero al limite assoluto, ogni muscolo del mio corpo 
era completamente sfibrato
Eu estava no meu limite, meu corpo estava exausto,
e a chuva só deixava tudo mais escorregadio.
Я вышел за свои пределы, 
тело кричало, а из-за дождя всё скользило.
