Teshima and Aoyagi win their sprint race against Kyoto Fushimi and rejoin their team. Sakamichi enjoys racing with all six of his team members, but it doesn’t last long. Aoyagi’s legs, which have been pulling the team with all their might in order to catch up to Hakone Academy, have been in pain since the previous day and are nearing their limit. Kaburagi can’t hold back his tears as he watches the upperclassman’s back. By taking on Aoyagi’s hopes and racing for the team, Kaburagi experiences great personal growth of his own.
Izumida-san said neither the 
sprint nor the mountains matter.
Izumida hat gesagt,
Izumida dijo que no importaba
ni el esprint ni las montañas.
Izumida dijo que no importaba
ni el esprint ni las montañas.
Izumida a dit qu’il vous laissait
les dossards du sprint et de la montagne
Izumida ha detto che né questo traguardo 
né il pezzo sulle montagne contano nulla.
O Izumida diz que o trecho plano
e as montanhas não importam.
Идзумида сказал, что ни спринт,
ни пересечёнка не важны.
