Kansei University's battle to achieve official records formally begins.
Having already achieved their official records, Musa, Jota, and Joji watch the race with Hanako.
Kakeru joins the lead pack and competes with exchange students from strong schools.
Meanwhile, the stagnating Shindo and Yuki utilize their strengths to make a strong effort towards achieving an official time.
During the final lap, Haiji's words cut through Kakeru's mind. "Do you like running?"
In that moment, something inside him opens, and Kakeru bangs out an astonishing time.
After the race, a lone reporter approaches Kakeru, and...
I'm amazed we're not dead.
من المذهل أنّنا لسنا أموات
Dass wir überhaupt
so lange überlebt haben …
Me sorprende que sigamos vivos.
Me sorprende que sigamos vivos.
Et dire qu’on y survit…
Strano che non siamo ancora morti...
Me pergunto como não morremos.
Чудо, что мы ещё живы.
