Before the race, Captain Teshima told Sakamichi that he wouldn’t be the mountain ace at this Inter-High so the team could focus on taking out Hakone Academy’s formidable climber Manami early during their first attack. However, in order to close the unexpected gap created by Izumida’s sprint, Teshima sacrifices himself and pulls the team. The passionate vibrations of every step he takes forward reach not only Sakamichi and the rest of Team Sohoku but Hakone Academy ace Ashikiba as well…!
An uncrowned man, 
someone who's never won a title,
Der ungekrönte König,
der nie einen Titel erkämpft hat,
Alguien que no se ha coronado
ni ha ganado ningún título
Alguien que no se ha coronado
ni ha ganado ningún título
Il a jamais été couronné.
Un uomo senza corone, 
che non ha mai vinto un titolo,
Um homem sem coroas, que nunca venceu um título,
Человек без достижений и титула одолеет
