Sakamichi meets Kinjou, who tells him to become stronger. He learns that Makishima and Tadokoro have come to cheer on the team as well and tells the rest of the team shaken by the first day's loss. Team Sohoku resolves to approach the rest of the race with a new attitude. Meanwhile, the similarly defeated Midousuji of Kyoto Fushimi begins planning a new strategy for the second day's race... The morning of the second day dawns. Hakone Academy's Shinkai Yuto strikes up a conversation with Sakamichi. "Let's race at some point today."
The third-years don't 
look as old this year.
Oh, ihr Älteren seht dieses
Jahr ja gar nicht so alt aus!
Cielos, los veteranos de este año
no parecen tan viejos.
Vaya, los veteranos de este año
no parecen tan viejos.
Tes aînés font plus jeune,
cette année.
Cielo, quest'anno i ragazzi del terzo anno
non sembrano poi così vecchi.
Ah, os terceiranistas deste ano
parecem ser mais novinhos!
А в этом году старшие
выглядят не так взросло.
