Yowamushi Pedal: Limit Break

-Thank you. -Thanks.

SHIZUOKA - FUJIGAWA

Miki, I brought the towels.

-Thanks. -What else can I do?

Can you help me with preparing the snacks and drinks?

Roger!

Let's go, Sohoku!

It's the last day! We made it this far!

All six of us made it to the last day.

-Naruko! -Yeah!

-Imaizumi. -Yup.

-Onoda. -Yes.

-Kaburagi. -Yes.

And Aoyagi.

Do you guys believe in miracles?

They went through a lot.

Yeah.

On day one, right after Hakone Academy crossed the sprinters' goal line,

Onoda was separated from the team

after getting swallowed by the pack.

So Teshima raced the climbers' stage.

Although he lost that race, it raised the team's morale.

Naruko participated in the final sprint.

But Hakone Academy

won that race as well.

HAKONE ACADEMY

In the end, Hakone Academy won the first race,

and the climb, and also became the winner of day one.

So they took possession of all three colored tags.

On day two, Kaburagi fell behind as soon as the race began.

So Aoyagi went to give a helping hand.

During that time, Hakone Academy won the sprinters' stage again.

HAKONE ACADEMY

Kaburagi finally caught up with the team

and raced to the goal line.

The first person to pass the goal line on day two,

was Midousuji from Kyoto Fushimi.

Even after two days,

Sohoku has not won anything.

They haven't received a single colored tag.

But…

We still have today. Day three.

The first team to cross the goal line today…

Is the winner of Inter-High.

This year's overall winner!

We've worked ourselves to death.

Today's the last day for us to show all of our hard work.

Even if we give our all and fall off mid-course,

our faith in miracles will reach the others.

Keep that in mind.

If one of us is

neck and neck with an opponent near the goal line,

that faith will push his back.

Junta.

Teshima.

Of course!

Teshima.

SOHOKU HIGH

Let's go, Sohoku!

-This is the final race! -Yeah!

ORIGINAL STORY BY WATARU WATANABE "YOWAMUSHI PEDAL"

It's day three of Inter-High.

It's the final day.

There's only ten minutes left before the race begins!

-It's finally starting! -Yeah, look at everyone.

-They're fired up. -Chiba Sohoku!

They haven't been able to impress much yet,

but they're last year's winners.

They won't go down without a fight.

That's right.

SOHOKU HIGH

The champions, Hakone Academy, are here!

They have such a presence.

Wait… there's only five of them?

They're missing one person.

Speaking of which, we're also missing one team.

Yesterday's winner, Kyoto Fushimi.

-No, they're here. -But look…

KYOTO FUSHIMI

Don't look so shocked.

We just lightened our load a bit.

KYOTO

They all shaved their heads!

Let's throw it all away!

Throw away boring pride, the boring celebratory mood,

and boring ways of showing off.

Victory is right in front of us,

so we must throw everything away to achieve it!

Wow, Kyoto Fushimi is taking this too seriously.

KYOTO FUSHIMI

We'll take today's victory as well.

Right, Yamaguchi?

I know.

You can do it!

It's about to start.

Day three.

It's the final day of Inter-High.

-You can do it. -Go for it.

Inter-High has special rules.

Like this time lag.

Players begin the race according to yesterday's ranking placement.

Oh, the race has already begun.

Oops. I'm totally late.

Um… excuse me…

Why are there so many people for this bicycle race?

I stayed overnight, and took a bus,

all because I heard that this was the final day.

I can't see the course.

How am I supposed to see Sangaku start the race like this!

Hey.

Good morning, President.

-Hi… -You came to see the start?

What?

Sangaku, why are you here?

-I got here late. -Late…

Is this your first time seeing the start of a race?

-The tension is crazy, isn't it? -Who cares about that? Just go!

You're right. Do me a favor.

Can you hold onto this for me?

What?

I'll be off now…

to race in the Inter-High.

Wow.

In an instant, Sangaku changed from his usual sleepy self

to someone who's ready to fight.

Next up is yesterday's fourth place winner.

Ashikiba will start the race!

Go for it!

-Onoda, you're next. -Yeah.

I'll head off first.

Hurry up and meet up with Hotshot.

Or else he might start crying from loneliness.

All right.

Naruko. Let's do this.

I'm giving you my spirit!

Thanks!

-We're counting on you, Onoda. -Yes!

We'll catch up to you.

Onoda. Keep your spirits up!

-Go! -Yes!

Mizuta from Kyoto Fushimi! Onoda from Sohoku!

They're off!

It's begun. It's day three.

The final day.

Manami!

Let's meet again on the course, Sakamichi!

Yeah! Manami, were you in the bathroom?

No, I overslept.

I'll be waiting for you, Manami.

Let's race just like last year…

I'm looking forward to it.

And this year, I'll win…

-Hey, Manami. What were you doing? -Sorry.

Are you ready to focus?

Yes, of course.

The second group is ready to begin!

HAKONE ACADEMY

Let's go, Hakone.

This is the final first step

to return as champions.

Let's go Sohoku!

Let's get started.

We can't let Hakone and Hotshot steal the limelight.

All of us will go all out on this last day!

It's finally started! The final day of Inter-High!

It's my time to shine!

I'm ready to dash out, so just let me know when!

Don't dash out.

All right!

What is it? You told me to dash out.

No, I said, "Don't dash out." I said, "Do not dash out."

Oh, I see.

He's an idiot.

KYOTO

The course will soon enter an incline.

If we can all come together during the flats,

then things would be easier.

I'm counting on you.

Come as soon as possible, Onoda.

I knew it.

It's the same as yesterday's ranking.

I'm here, Yuto.

Ashikiba, you're fast.

Ashikiba, the third-year ace.

And first-year Yuto Shinkai.

Hakone Academy has two aces at the front who can win this race.

How's your condition?

Not bad.

Are we already in a pinch?

Hakone Academy is on the move!

Damn it! I knew it!

Today is day three. The final day.

The front is the closest to the finish line.

I won't let you get past me, Shinkai.

Well, Imaizumi,

I won't let you get in my way.

This guy is still…

Of course we're going to go faster.

Right now, we're clearly at an advantage!

Damn it.
