Sakamichi and Yuto's battle has begun. Yuto is excited to compete against Sakamichi, who has come to be called the Mountain King, and challenges him to a race to reach their teammates riding at the front. Yuto finds Sakamichi's willingness to "ride for the team" strange and races ahead. However, Imaizumi and Naruko realize Sakamichi is coming, and the race ends in a draw. However, Kuroda and the rest of Hakone Academy catch up, and they take control of the race. Will they go after them or wait for Teshima... Imaizumi is forced to make a decision...
Mountain King, I'm starting to understand 
how you won the final climb last year!
Berg-König, ich verstehe langsam,
wie du letztes Jahr
Rey de la Montaña, creo que ya sé
cómo ganaste la escalada final.
Rey de la Montaña, creo que ya sé
cómo ganaste la escalada final.
Je crois savoir comment t’as gagné
la dernière côte de l’an dernier,
Re delle Montagne,
Rei das Montanhas, agora começo a entender
como você venceu a escalada final do ano passado!
Бог Горы, я начал понимать, как ты победил
в последнем подъёме в прошлом году!
