Teshima and Aoyagi break away from the pack to pursue the riders ahead of them, but Kyoto Fushimi stands in their way. In order to complete the objective given to him by Midousuji, Yamaguchi challenges Teshima and Aoyagi to a sprint that comes with a catch. As a climber, the terms are disadvantageous for Teshima, but they can’t move forward without accepting the challenge. Out of concern for Aoyagi, who can’t sprint at full speed due to an injured leg, Teshima pulls him along, and Aoyagi recalls how they met as he watches him…
I apologized to him numerous 
times because I felt bad
Ich habe mich so oft dafür entschuldigt,
Me disculpé con él varias veces
porque me sentía mal
Me disculpé con él varias veces
porque me sentía mal
J’étais gêné qu’on m’attribue
tous les lauriers.
Io mi scusavo con lui in continuazione,
mi sentivo in colpa
Eu sempre me sentia culpado 
por ser o único no pódio.
Я много раз извинялся 
перед ним, было неприятно стоять
