Yowamushi Pedal Glory Line

On the first day of the Inter High,

Number 13 from Hakone Academy dominated the Irohazaka Road.

The new Mountain God,

Sangaku Manami, is currently screaming out loud!

ACADEMY

I did it, Toudou.

I broke the superstition.

I didn't succeed in the end.

I can finally lie down.

I've really used up all my strength.

I'm sorry,

Sohoku.

Teshima!

Someone from Sohoku has come.

Catch up!

In the second Inter High,

as the second generation of Sohoku contestants,

we lost to Hakone Academy,

to Manami,

at the mountain on the first day.

However,

the sight of Teshima fighting hard

and his passionate spirit

ignited our fighting spirit.

It inspired Imaizumi,

Naruko,

Kaburagi,

Aoyagi,

and all our supporters.

Of course, it inspired me as well.

You're here to support me?

You've been a great help, Onoda.

Let's ride some more.

Yes.

On the first day of the Tochigi Prefecture's Inter High,

we'll continue to do our best and pedal towards the goal.

DUE TO THE INTER HIGH, A SINGLE LANE OF IROHAZAKA ROAD IS OPEN

At this point, three people passed the mountain point already.

Behind Manami and Teshima

is Number 1, Onoda.

Onoda?

The gap between them is very small.

He has already caught up to the team up front.

Not only Onoda,

but I think the Hakone and Sohoku teams aren't far behind them.

They should be pedaling downhill now.

But why is the traffic so bad here right now?

No vehicles have driven down since earlier.

Perhaps there was a vehicular accident.

What?

Based on the traffic situation, could it be serious?

There's a water station

at the end of the slope past that mountain.

But we can't get there at all.

All the contestants are pedaling hard

to get there.

This is bad.

I'll run over there then.

I'll bring the supplies there.

It's just 2 or 3 km away.

I should be able to get there in time.

That's impossible, Sugimoto.

The contestants will surely get there ahead of you.

Why…

Why is that?

However,

you'd make it if you rode a bike.

This is the spare bike of contestants.

-Sugimoto. -Yes.

I can't bring supplies for six people by myself.

There's no time for you to warm-up now either.

We must go at full speed.

Can you catch up with me in such a situation?

Yes.

-We must make it in time, Sugimoto. -All right.

They're so fast.

They're both very fast.

Now, Sohoku has also

become so good because they've competed with them.

It seems like they'll make it.

It's finally about to kick off.

The final phase on the first day of the Inter High.

Since Hakone's Number 13 conquered the mountain,

the teams behind him are also taking action.

They're coming. It's Hakone.

Their speed is unbelievable.

Sohoku is also picking up speed, not letting Hakone lead.

Amazing, the situation is so tense.

Is the highlight coming up?

The Inter High's battle to the goal.

We have passed the mountain point.

Kaburagi.

Yes.

It's becoming tenser now.

Does that mean…

I can sprint to the goal now?

No!

Can I do a sprint now?

Please, listen to me carefully.

-All right! -Don't do it!

Why?

What a fool.

Hakone is taking action!

He's so tall.

It's Ashikiba.

Kuroda is leading.

Number 12, Hakone's senior, Kuroda,

is leading their ace, Number 11.

All right.

We must add icing to the cake for the ending on the first day,

just like the amazing decorations during Christmas.

Takuto.

Yuki, I…

I think the decorations for New Year are more amazing.

Is Kuroda the ace assistant?

Isn't he a climber?

Ace assistant?

Me?

That's right.

Do you want to try it seriously, Yuki?

During the send-off for the seniors,

your coordination with Ashikiba was very spectacular.

However, I won't force you to agree.

After all, you must have your pride as a climber.

You've always exuded the vibe of an assistant leader.

You haven't changed at all.

You're too stern, Touichirou.

Do you know that I used to hate you very much?

Not only were you stern, but you also liked preaching to me.

Yet you don't know the ins and outs of the things you do.

You couldn't take jokes,

and you were slow.

That's what I used to think.

I'm sharp and I'm a good sportsman.

You think you can't win over me, yet you act high and mighty.

But now,

our positions are reversed.

You joined Inter High and showcased yourself well,

while I didn't make the team.

Don't misunderstand.

This doesn't mean that I feel inferior.

I just respect you a lot.

I think you're earnest, you work hard,

and you have something I don't.

You're incredible.

Pride as a climber?

I don't have that anymore.

If you want me to become a sprinter, I will.

If you want me to pass the water, I'll do it.

As long as I can work hard earnestly,

let me do what I can, Touichirou.

I want to pedal hard in the Inter High.

I'll prove it to you.

I'll show you that I'm someone with a lot of potentials.

Yuki.

Please take care of the ace.

In this season, Kuroda has been leading Ashikiba.

They've won eight out of the eight games they've joined.

So they won all of them?

He always lets Ashikiba do sprints at the perfect timing.

He calculated it based on careful observation of the opponent.

Since he's very smart, he's suited to be the ace assistant.

Touichirou.

I'll make you tell me that it's the right decision

to let me be the ace assistant.

Let's go, Takuto!

Abs, Yuki!

I'll let you handle it, Yuki.

Muscles!

Sohoku, you're late.

No matter how good you are, Imaizumi,

you can't win over us

by just relying on yourself.

That's hard to say.

That's why I spent a lot of time preparing.

I've arranged the fastest man

before the goal.

-Naruko? -What?

Why are you so surprised, you fool?

So it's not me?

Fool!

It's Naruko?

Is that why he didn't do a sprint

back then?

Izumida.

Isn't that guy a sprinter?

Yes.

But he might have become an all-rounder for some reason.

Anyway, that's what happened.

All right, it's finally time for me to make a move.

I've endured it for so long.

It's so hard to restrain myself.

I can finally get rid of this annoying feeling.

-All right. -It's time, Naruko.

Stop giving me orders, Hotshot.

-He's so fast. -All right.

Hakone, watch me carefully.

When I go downhill past this tunnel,

I'll catch up with you soon!

My heart is jumping for joy.
