It's day one of the Tochigi Inter-high. Hakone Academy's Doubashi takes the first result, and Hakone Academy's Minami beats Sohoku captain Teshima in the subsequent mountain stage to win the King of the Mountains title. The steadily advancing Hakone Academy sends their ace Ashikiba and his assist Kuroda ahead towards the finish line! Hakone Academy believed Sohoku would have a late start on "Black Cat" Kuroda and his exceptionally flexible legs, but two-year duo Imaizumi and Naruko chase after him. In the intense final phase of the race, the battle for the finish line finally begins!
I'll guide my ace through the 
tiniest of cracks to get ahead.
Ich bringe mein Ass durch
die kleinste Lücke nach vorne.
Llevo al líder por la mínima
brecha para ser primero.
Llevo al líder por la mínima brecha
para ser primero.
Lo guiderò attraverso
i passaggi più difficili, sempre avanti.
Eu guio meu ás pelas menores frestas
para sair na frente.
Я проведу аса даже через малейшую
 щель ради победы.
