After being challenged by Tokyo Sport University's Sakaki, Kakeru and the other residents of Chikusei-so have grown closer.
As they celebrate the renewal of their resolve, King comes home wearing a suit for a change.
Meanwhile, Kakeru voices his objections to participating in a track meet so soon.
What point is there in forcing the amateurish residents to face reality?
In response to Kakeru, Haiji asks his own question.
Kakeru's doubts remain unresolved as Haiji begins holding proper practices.
However, King refuses to participate because he's busy looking for a job...
Under a cloud of anxiety, their proper training begins.
If Joji's going, so will I.
إن كان جوجي سيذهب، كذلك أنا
Wenn Jōji mitkommt,
komm ich auch mit!
Si Joji sale, yo también.
Si Joji sale, yo también.
Si Jôji y va, moi aussi.
Se va Joji, vengo anche io!
Se o Joji vai, também vou!
Раз бежит Дзёдзи, то и я бегу!
