Midousuji leaps into first with a desperate diving turn. More than 200 meters behind in the final stages of the race, Sohoku chases after Midousuji on the Naruko Super Express' final trip. Even as Naruko's consciousness fades, he throws away everything to reduce his weight, and Sakamichi realizes there's no way the three of them will finish together anymore. Imaizumi and Naruko express their gratitude for Naruko's resolve. Naruko accepts their thanks and uses the last of his strength to ride with determination!
I thought friends cried and 
screamed out of sadness.
Weinen und brüllen Freunde nicht rum?
Pensaba que los amigos
lloraban y gemían de tristeza.
Pensaba que los amigos
lloraban y gemían de tristeza.
Hurler sa tristesse,
c’est ce qu’aurait fait un vrai pote.
Pensavo che gli amici piangessero e urlassero di dolore e tristezza.
Eu achei que amigos de verdade
fossem chorar de tanta tristeza!
Я думал, друзья должны плакать и грустить.
