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 we plan to stick around and watch 
the race for as long as we can.
Aber solange wir können,
Esperamos seguir viendo
todo lo que podamos de la carrera.
Esperamos seguir viendo
todo lo que podamos de la carrera.
Cela dit, on fera comme on peut
pour assister à la course.
In ogni caso abbiamo intenzione di restare qui
e seguire la gara finché potremo.
Contudo, queremos ficar e assistir
a corrida até onde for possível.
Но мы постараемся смотреть гонки
как можно дольше и быть рядом.
