Midousuji leaps into first with a desperate diving turn. More than 200 meters behind in the final stages of the race, Sohoku chases after Midousuji on the Naruko Super Express' final trip. Even as Naruko's consciousness fades, he throws away everything to reduce his weight, and Sakamichi realizes there's no way the three of them will finish together anymore.
