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.

owe you guys something,
Ich meine, in gewisser Weise
schulde ich euch ja was.
Está bien. Parece que les debo algo,
Está bien. Parece que os debo algo,
Bon, tant pis.
Va bene, dai. Alla fin fine devo ammettere
di avere una specie di debito nei vostri confronti,
Tudo bem. Acho mesmo que eu
devo um pouco a vocês todos,
Видимо, теперь я по какой-то 
причине что-то вам должен.
