Feeling the passionate waves of Teshima's ride of the soul during the Minegayama Hill Climb, Sakamichi rides all out to catch up to Ashikiba! Who will win the race...?! After the race, Ashikiba meets with third-year Fukutomi. He has his own past... Later, Tadokoro starts his last race, the Bay Coast Criterium. A three-way race between keepers of the Sohoku sprinter's spirit, Tadokoro, Naruko, and Aoyagi begins!
They're leaving me behind, even though 
we're all wearing Sohoku jerseys.
Sie lassen mich zurück
und geben Gas?
Aceleraron dejándome atrás aunque
llevamos el mismo maillot…
Han acelerado y me han dejado atrás
Ils partent sans moi…
Mi stanno lasciando indietro.
Mesmo vestindo um uniforme do Sohoku,
fui deixado pra trás...
