Imaizumi wins the battle in the rain and rides in the lead. Sakamichi catches up to him, and Sugimoto and the other supporting members cheer for Team Sohoku as they ride alone in the lead. While Sohoku goes for the one-two finish, Kuroda and Manami of Hakone Academy close in from behind. Kuroda sends off Manami, who instantly jumps into the lead. The dangerous situation leaves Sakamichi bewildered, but there's only one thing he can do for the team. Imaizumi gives him the final order of taking their jersey to the finish line, and Sakamichi chases after Manami at full power...!
Those who raced against him 
say he climbed so lightly,
Los que corrían contra él
decían que subía muy ligero,
Los que corrían contra él
decían que subía muy ligero,
Les coureurs qui l’ont affronté
se sont demandé s’il allait pas
Quelli che l'hanno affrontato durante quelle scalate
Quem o enfrentou, dizia que ele
pedalava com tanta leveza
Его противники говорили, 
что подъём даётся ему так легко,
