While walking home with Musa, Kakeru runs into reigning champion Rikudo's Fujioka Kazuma.
When Kakeru can't let go of the inconsiderate remarks made by some passers-by, Fujioka methodically and without faltering shows him the answer.
Then Fujioka tells them about his shared history with Haiji.
The burden Haiji has borne alone. The response he gave to Fujioka.
In Fujioka's words, Kakeru begins to sense the meaning of the "strength" Haiji once described to him.
Meanwhile, Haiji is at a consultation with his doctor.
His eyes are glued to the harsh reality they see...
I know you'll be able to stay
calm and maintain your pace.
أعرف أنّكما ستتمكنان من البقاء هادئين
والحفاظ على نسقكما
Ihr werdet euch nicht verunsichern
lassen und euer Tempo halten.
Sé que ustedes dos
podrán mantener la calma y el ritmo.
Sé que vosotros dos
podréis mantener la calma y el ritmo.
Ma so che voi due sarete in grado di restare calmi
 e mantenere il vostro passo.
Os dois serão capazes de ficarem
calmos e manterem o passo.
Но я знаю, что вы сумеете
сохранить собственный темп.
