Teshima and Aoyagi win their sprint race against Kyoto Fushimi and rejoin their team. Sakamichi enjoys racing with all six of his team members, but it doesn’t last long. Aoyagi’s legs, which have been pulling the team with all their might in order to catch up to Hakone Academy, have been in pain since the previous day and are nearing their limit. Kaburagi can’t hold back his tears as he watches the upperclassman’s back. By taking on Aoyagi’s hopes and racing for the team, Kaburagi experiences great personal growth of his own.
This is the last place where sprinters 
will be needed in this race.
Jetzt müssen nur noch die Sprinter
ihren Job erledigen!
Es el último lugar donde se necesitarán
esprínteres en esta carrera.

in cui serviranno davvero dei velocisti.
E este é o último trecho
em que velocistas serão úteis.
Это последний участок,
где нужны спринтеры.
