Two kilometers from the finish line, Sakamichi receives his final orders from Imaizumi and is entrusted with winning the race. He steels his resolve and chases after Manami. In early spring before the Inter-High, Sakamichi and Manami bump into each other at the aquarium Team Sohoku visited on their way back from a race. There they promise to go all out against each other at the summer's Inter-High. When they end up racing for the finish line on the final day, despite their bewilderment and their teams' victories weighing upon them, they are delighted by their fated race against each other.
Must be because things are 
new and different this year.
Die Situation ist ja auch
anders als letztes Jahr.
Debe ser porque este año
todo es nuevo y diferente.
Debe de ser porque este año
todo es nuevo y diferente.
C’est la victoire de l’année dernière
qui change la donne.
Sarà perché quest'anno è tutto nuovo e molto diverso.
Deve ser porque tudo está diferente este ano.
Наверное, дело в том, 
что в этом году всё иначе.
