During the finish line sprint on the second day of the Inter-high, Ashikiba entrusts Yuto with the responsibility of being the team's ace. He overturns his own assumptions that he's a climber with a fierce sprint, catching up to Imaizumi and Midousuji! But as Midousuji and Yuto race against each other, Imaizumi thinks of his teammates and removes his own "limiter!"
It's just a stupid mental battle!
 A mental battle!
Was für ein stupider,
körperlicher Kampf …
¡Es una estúpida
batalla mental! ¡Mental!
¡Es una estúpida batalla mental!
C’est qu’une guerre psychologique !
Je vais pas perdre maintenant !
È solo uno stupido scontro mentale!
È tutta una cosa mentale!
Que disputa mental estúpida!
 Que baita estupidez!
Это глупая умственная битва! Умственная!
