Teshima and Aoyagi win their sprint race against Kyoto Fushimi and rejoin their team. Sakamichi enjoys racing with all six of his team members, but it doesn’t last long. Aoyagi’s legs, which have been pulling the team with all their might in order to catch up to Hakone Academy, have been in pain since the previous day and are nearing their limit. Kaburagi can’t hold back his tears as he watches the upperclassman’s back. By taking on Aoyagi’s hopes and racing for the team, Kaburagi experiences great personal growth of his own.
Hey, orange. You and I haven't raced 
alongside each other since the first day.
Hey, Rotschopf! Wir sind
seit der ersten Etappe nicht mehr
Anaranjado, tú y yo no hemos
corrido juntos desde el primer día.
Eh, naranjito. Tú y yo no hemos
corrido juntos desde el primer día.
Hé, Poil de carotte !
On a plus roulé côte à côte
Ehi, crapa d'arancia, è dal primo giorno che io e te non ci sfidiamo.
Ei, laranjinha! A gente não disputou mais
desde o primeiro dia!
Эй, апельсин. Мы друг против друга
после первого дня не выходили.
