Hakone Academy's ace Ashikiba Takuto wins the three-way battle for the first day of the Inter-high! Naruko and Midousuji just narrowly tie for second. Having won all of the first day's number tags, Hakone Academy reclaims its throne. Naruko acts cheerful during the award ceremony, but his heart is trembling with frustration. Not only did Sohoku place second in all stages, but Kaburagi collapses from exhaustion, and a disquieting atmosphere settles on the team. Just as Sakamichi is looking anxious, former Sohoku captain Kinjou appears before him...
But Hakone Academy's Ashikiba threw 
his bike at the exact same time.
Aber zur genau gleichen Zeit
Pero Ashikiba, de Hakone, lanzó
su bici justo en el mismo momento.
Pero Ashikiba lanzó su bici
justo en el mismo momento.
Mais au même moment,
Ashikiba aussi a poussé son vélo.
Ma Ashikiba, dell'Accademia Hakone,
s'è lanciato avanti con la bici nello stesso istante.
Mas o Ashikiba da Hakone também
jogou a bicicleta naquele exato momento.
Но Асикиба кинулся вперёд
в ту же секунду.
