Aoyagi ignores Teshima's attempts to stop him and goes back to save Kaburagi, who has fallen behind. Meanwhile, with encouragement from Koga, Kaburagi begins to regain his form, but he's still not at full strength. That's when he sees... Aoyagi! Believing Aoyagi has also become exhausted and fallen behind, he moves up and begins racing ahead instead! They catch up to the pack in front of them. In order to get ahead of and out of the pack, Aoyagi hands Kaburagi a note from God so he'll increase his pace. On that note is written the lyrics to a certain song...!
Then pray the eighth
 turns out to be true, Junta!
Dann beten wir mal,
dass der achte sich erfüllt!
Pues reza para
que se haga realidad, Junta.
Pues reza para que se haga realidad.
Alors je vais prier
pour que la 8e se réalise, Junta !
E allora prega che l'ottavo sia quella giusto, Junta!
Então vamos torcer por
esse oitavo motivo, Junta!
Тогда молись, чтобы она оправдала себя!
