Manami reveals how he has advanced so far in races, by using nature and feeling it out. When he senses a gust of wind coming Manami uses it to propel himself ahead of Midosuji. However Miosuji is able to copy the technique and catch up. Up ahead the aces sense they will soon be caught up to. Fukutomi believes that two racers are coming- Midosuji and Manami, but Imazumi realizes that a third one is gaining ground quickly in Onoda. Toudou asks Makashima why he has such faith in Onoda, and Makashima reveals that Onoda has never once failed to obey an order that has been given to him. He thinks back to Onoda's many races- the uphill climb on his mommy bike, the first year race, the 1000km race against the second years, and even his catch-ups at the Inter-High. With roughly 7km left Onoda catches up to Midosuji and Manami. He vows to not let Midosuji catch up to the aces. Midosuji raises his speed, but Onoda surpasses Midosuji's speed and actually moves ahead of him.
ゴールまで残り10km。後方から追い上げ、一気に先頭を狙う御堂筋を抑えるべく、飛び出した真波。お互い一歩も譲らない闘いを繰り広げる中、真波は御堂筋に、まだ"とっておき"があると言い、風に乗って更に加速する。その頃、巻島に想いを託された坂道は、一人、必死にケイデンスを上げ、二人を追っていた。
골까지 남은 거리 10km. 후방에서 추격해 와서 단숨에 선두를 노리는 미도스지를 누르기 위해 뛰쳐나온 마나미. 서로 한발도 양보하지 않는 싸움을 전개하던 중 마나미는 미도스지에게 아직 "필살기"가 있다고 말하고 바람을 타고 더욱 가속한다. 그 시각, 마키시마의 마음을 전해 받은 사카미치는 혼자서 필사적으로 케이덴스를 올리고 두 사람을 쫓고 있다.
