The now whole Hakone Academy team accelerates, and Naruko ignores Imaizumi's orders and goes after them alone! Later, Teshima joins up with Imaizumi and Sakamichi, but he can't increase his pace. Kishigami Komari appears with the rest of Kyoto Fushimi in tow, passing Sohoku! Frustrated by his lapse in judgment, Imaizumi speaks harshly to Teshima, while the sound of something breaking can be heard in his heart... Meanwhile, Hakone Academy and Kyoto Fushimi head into the sprint. It looks to be a race between Izumida and Midousuji... but instead a surprising man approaches...!
Maybe I'm just saying we're okay 
to make myself feel better.
Wenn ich „alles gut“ sage,
dann vielleicht nur, um dich zu beruhigen.
Quizás solo lo diga para sentirme mejor,
Igual solo lo digo para sentirme mejor.
Tout se passera bien,
même si je dis ça pour me rassurer.
Forse lo sto dicendo solo
 per rassicurare me stesso.
Talvez eu só esteja dizendo que está
tudo bem para me confortar...
Может, я просто убеждаю себя,
что всё будет хорошо.
