As Sohoku and Hakone Academy temporarily work together to catch up to the aces leading the race, Kyoto Fushimi’s Midousuji and Mizuta who were racing ahead fall back to their position. Surprised by their early slowdown, Naruko asks what they’re doing. However, Midousuji is secretly advancing his plans using Kumamoto Daiichi’s Ise who is riding behind them. Meanwhile, Yamaguchi, who has been tasked with an important job in the current phase, resolves to fulfill the unreasonable demands placed on him despite his mixed emotions.

Es verdad que ahora siento
como si no me quedara nada que desechar.

nada para deixar pra trás.
А я чувствую себя так, будто
 мне больше нечего терять.
