Before the race, Captain Teshima told Sakamichi that he wouldn’t be the mountain ace at this Inter-High so the team could focus on taking out Hakone Academy’s formidable climber Manami early during their first attack. However, in order to close the unexpected gap created by Izumida’s sprint, Teshima sacrifices himself and pulls the team. The passionate vibrations of every step he takes forward reach not only Sakamichi and the rest of Team Sohoku but Hakone Academy ace Ashikiba as well…!
The hunger to break through stalemates 
and shatter preconceptions.
Wer daran glaubt, kann sich
einen Weg aus einer Sackgasse bahnen
La ambición te saca del estancamiento
y destruye ideas preconcebidas.
La ambición te saca del estancamiento
y destruye ideas preconcebidas.
Cette volonté d’aller jusqu’au bout
La fame che serve per spezzare
un'impasse e distruggere i preconcetti.
A fome de superar impasses e quebrar preconceitos.
Жажду сломать текущее положение вещей.
