Excited by Izumida taking the sprint result, Hakone Academy pushes to the front. Meanwhile, Sohoku's team is scattered, and their terrible situation continues. Naruko expends energy as he clings to the lead pack and waits for the rest of his team to catch up. Teshima, Sakamichi, and Imaizumi are passed by Kumamoto Daiichi, and they fall deeper into despair. However, Sakamichi cheerfully asserts Aoyagi and Kaburagi will catch up and continues pedaling. When Teshima looks behind him, he sees a pair of yellow jerseys come into view--!
If we'd left early, we would've 
ended up like you, in pieces!
Selbst wenn wir früher los wären,

en pedazos como ustedes.
Si salíamos pronto, habríamos terminado
en pedazos como vosotros.
Si on était partis précipitamment,

Se l'avessimo lasciato prima 
saremmo finiti come voi!
Se tivéssemos saído antes,
estaríamos como vocês: esmigalhados!
Поедь мы раньше, 
нас бы разгромили как вас.
