Kuroda's pulling puts Hakone Academy in the lead as the competitors head towards the first day's finish line, but Sohoku's sprinter turned all-rounder Naruko Shoukichi shows off his strengths! By demonstrating a new special ability that allows him to go quickly even while racing uphill, he doesn't back down from the challenge. Told by Teshima to decide between themselves who will be the ace, Imaizumi and Naruko act more like rivals racing against each other than teammates working together, while Kuroda and Ashikiba demonstrate their battle-hardened coordination. Meanwhile, the shadow approaches from behind both teams...
That move is made possible by Ashikiba's 
fake-out and my explosive power.
Dieser Zug war nur durch
Ashikibas Trick
Lo logramos por el engaño
de Ashikiba y mi fuerza explosiva.
Lo logramos por el engaño

La feinte d’Ashikiba et ma propulsion

Quella manovra è riuscita solo grazie
alla finta di Ashikiba e alla mia potenza esplosiva.
Essa jogada só é possível graças à finta
do Ashikiba e ao meu poder de explosão.
Ход стал возможен благодаря обманке
 Асикибы и моей взрывной силе.
