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. Imaizumi and Naruko express their gratitude for Naruko's resolve. Naruko accepts their thanks and uses the last of his strength to ride with determination!
Until recently, I didn't want 
Naruko-kun to jump ahead.
Die ganze Zeit dachte ich,
dass Naruko nicht vorfahren darf …
Hasta hace poco,
yo no quería que Naruko se adelantara.
Hasta hace poco,
yo no quería que Naruko se adelantara.
Tout à l’heure, je voulais
empêcher Naruko de passer devant.
Fino a un attimo fa non volevo 
che Naruko scattasse avanti.
Até pouco tempo atrás, eu não
queria que o Naruko tomasse a ponta...
До этого я не хотел, 
чтобы Наруко выходил вперёд.
