Sakamichi turns his pedals in order to fulfill his promise to battle Manami at the Inter-high. He and his team catch up to Hakone Academy, but it's not the lead pack. Ashikiba and Midousuji have gone on ahead. Due to the change in circumstances, Manami tells Sakamichi that they can't battle. Teshima orders Sakamichi to go after the lead pack. Steeling his resolve, Sakamichi and Imaizumi race their pace. Meanwhile, at the lead pack, in contrast with Hakone Academy, Kyoto Fushimi, and Kumamoto Daiichi, Naruko battles alone, believing his teammates will catch up!
Who is it that you believe in so much 
that you think he's coming?
Wem vertraust du so sehr, …
¿En quién crees tanto
para que pienses que vendrá?
¿En quién crees tanto
como para creer que vendrá?
En qui est-ce que tu crois autant
Chi è questa persona 
in cui hai così tanta fiducia
Em quem você confia tanto,
pra achar que está vindo?
Веришь в кого-то так сильно, 
что считаешь, он явится?
