Teshima and Aoyagi break away from the pack to pursue the riders ahead of them, but Kyoto Fushimi stands in their way. In order to complete the objective given to him by Midousuji, Yamaguchi challenges Teshima and Aoyagi to a sprint that comes with a catch. As a climber, the terms are disadvantageous for Teshima, but they can’t move forward without accepting the challenge. Out of concern for Aoyagi, who can’t sprint at full speed due to an injured leg, Teshima pulls him along, and Aoyagi recalls how they met as he watches him…
I'll keep thinking about what I want to 
tell Aoyagi-san even if things get dicey.
Auch wenn es knapp wird,
Seguiré pensando en lo que quiero
decirle a Aoyagi aunque esto se complique.
Seguiré pensando en lo que quiero
decirle a Aoyagi aunque esto se complique.
Même si ça paraît foutu,
je veux dire coûte que coûte à Aoyagi
Penserò a ciò che voglio dire ad Aoyagi, 
anche se la situazione si farà complicata!
Vou guardar o que quero contar
ao Aoyagi, não importa o que aconteça!
В тяжёлые моменты буду думать
 о том, что хочу сказать Аояги!
