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…!
What's wrong, Sohoku? Are you giving up 
the race because things have gotten tough?
Was habt ihr denn, Sōhoku?
Habt ihr schon aufgegeben?
¿Qué les pasa, Sohoku?
 ¿Se rinden porque se pone difícil?
¿Qué os pasa, Sohoku? ¿Ya os rendís
porque esto se os pone cuesta arriba?
Bah alors, Sôhoku ?
Che succede, Sohoku? Volete mollare la gara 
ora che le cose si fanno difficili?
O que foi, Sohoku?
Vão desistir da corrida porque ficou difícil?
В чём дело, Сохоку? 
Решили сдаться, раз уж дела идут так плохо?
