67. let's see how
your current skills measure up.Copy !req
68. Okay!Copy !req
69. Sorry, could you help me warm up?Copy !req
70. Ah, sure.Copy !req
71. W-wow...Copy !req
72. She really is flexible!Copy !req
73. Were you always this flexible?Copy !req
74. If anything, it's the opposite.Copy !req
75. How so?Copy !req
76. I was actually born with really bad knees.Copy !req
77. I couldn't even stand up as a toddler.Copy !req
78. But my mom would massage my legs
every day for hours on end...Copy !req
79. And this is the result...Copy !req
80. The hell?Copy !req
81. That li'l smartmouth's
on Dust Bunny's team?Copy !req
82. Eh...Copy !req
83. Wooow...Copy !req
84. Uh...Copy !req
85. Well, big deal.Copy !req
86. Not like I care what team she's on.
Not ooone bit.Copy !req
87. Oh yeah. You look
toootally unbothered.Copy !req
88. When's the wedding?Copy !req
89. Shut up!Copy !req
90. Uuugh, she really beat us good.Copy !req
91. What was even the point
of untying her shoes...Copy !req
92. Huh? You did what?Copy !req
93. Man, that's low... even for you.Copy !req
94. Wow, you really didn't notice, huh.Copy !req
95. Hmph.Copy !req
96. What are you all doing?
You're supposed to be training!Copy !req
97. Uh-oh...Copy !req
98. The drill sergeant is back.Copy !req
99. Sigh... I swear, it's like you're
not even grateful I scouted you...Copy !req
100. Oh pipe down.Copy !req
101. You're just salty you lost out
on March and got stuck with us.Copy !req
102. What? Wh-who said that?Copy !req
103. I'm not salty at aaall!Copy !req
104. Well, I guess I'm a little miffed
he got her over me...Copy !req
105. Fujimasa March...
Her start really is spectacular.Copy !req
106. That instant burst of speed
will be her trump card.Copy !req
107. I'm thinking she's a front runnerCopy !req
108. and best suited for sprints.Copy !req
109. All right, good time.Copy !req
110. Let's take a short break.Copy !req
111. No, I'm training more.Copy !req
112. I don't think...Copy !req
113. And I can see that powerhouse in you!Copy !req
114. If we put our minds to it,
even winning the Tokai Derby is possible!Copy !req
115. The one going to the Tokai Derby is me.Copy !req
116. Hm?Copy !req
117. Don't mind me. I'm going for another lap.Copy !req
118. H-hey!Copy !req
119. Looks like her communication skills
need some work.Copy !req
120. I can't believe you can maintain
that form the whole time.Copy !req
121. Oguri's stamina... is amazing...Copy !req
122. Stamina is one thing,
but her strength's insane too.Copy !req
123. Her arm movement is fluid,Copy !req
124. and her lower body muscles
are working in perfect unison.Copy !req
125. At this rate,Copy !req
126. she'll meet her targets in time for the
May 19th debut race no problem.Copy !req
127. As for you, Belno...Copy !req
128. We'll start by
building up your stamina.Copy !req
129. Your debut can wait.Copy !req
130. O-okay...Copy !req
131. Hm?Copy !req
132. Cap!Copy !req
133. What's up?Copy !req
134. How are you not even a little tired?Copy !req
135. I've got a suggestion regardingCopy !req
136. that form of yours...Copy !req
137. So what do you think?Copy !req
138. I-I suppose that would increase her speed,Copy !req
139. if she can pull it off...Copy !req
140. Your debut's not that far off.
Wanna give it a shot?Copy !req
141. 596, 597,Copy !req
142. 598, 599,Copy !req
143. 600!Copy !req
144. Phew...Copy !req
145. One more set.Copy !req
146. I woke up a little early today.Copy !req
147. Huh?Copy !req
148. The cafeteria's open already?Copy !req
149. Guess I'll relax and enjoy breakfa...Copy !req
150. The rice's gone...Copy !req
151. Belno?Copy !req
152. G-good morning, Oguri...Copy !req
153. That's an awful big breakfast
you've got there.Copy !req
154. I have to fast until lunch after all.Copy !req
155. I don't think you can call the time
between breakfast and lunch a fast...Copy !req
156. Looks like she went
running this morning...Copy !req
157. Wait, on the first day of school...Copy !req
158. Was she training back then too?Copy !req
159. Hey, Oguri?Copy !req
160. Why do you run so much?Copy !req
161. Ah, I mean, I didn't mean anything deep!Copy !req
162. I'm just curious, like, do you wanna be famous,Copy !req
163. or is there someone you wanna beat?Copy !req
164. Why I run...Copy !req
165. Because I can?Copy !req
166. Huh?Copy !req
167. Ah...Copy !req
168. I was actually born with really bad knees.Copy !req
169. I couldn't even stand up as a toddler.Copy !req
170. Being able to stand and run...
That's like a miracle to me.Copy !req
171. So even just running makes me happy.Copy !req
172. That's all.Copy !req
173. You run... because you can.Copy !req
174. TRAINER'S OFFICECopy !req
175. Hrm...Copy !req
176. Four... no, maybe six?Copy !req
177. C'mon, Jo, move your feet!Copy !req
178. A-ah, my bad.Copy !req
179. Huh?Copy !req
180. Where's Shibasaki?Copy !req
181. He said he's gonna be cooped up
in his team's room.Copy !req
182. Something about a race coming up.Copy !req
183. Oh?Copy !req
184. May 19th's debut race lineup is out!Copy !req
185. Pipe down!Copy !req
186. Use your inside voice, ya big lug!Copy !req
187. Ahaha, sorry 'bout that!Copy !req
188. But wait till you get
a gander at this lineup!Copy !req
189. We're in for a real show!Copy !req
190. This year's newbies
are really promising, after all.Copy !req
191. Although only
the best of 'em are ready to...Copy !req
192. OGURI CAP, BETHE SUGAR,
SOUTH HEROINE, OKAN MAKERCopy !req
193. FUJIMASA MARCHCopy !req
194. No freaking way...Copy !req
195. KASAMATSU TRACEN ACADEMY DORMITORYCopy !req
196. Have a good 'un!Copy !req
197. Dear Oguri,Copy !req
198. I'm sending along the hair accessoryCopy !req
199. I used to wear for my races.Copy !req
200. I hope you'll wear it too.Copy !req
201. Love, Mom.Copy !req
202. P.S. I'll be listening
to your race on the radio.Copy !req
203. Mom...Copy !req
204. Ah, sorry...Copy !req
205. Er, um... You see...Copy !req
206. Er, um... You see...
I came to see if you wanted
to eat dinner together...Copy !req
207. I came to see if you wanted
to eat dinner together...Copy !req
208. But wow, Oguri...Copy !req
209. You must really love your mom, huh?Copy !req
210. Huh?Copy !req
211. Ah, w-wait!Copy !req
212. You especially need to eat tonight!Copy !req
213. I mean, tomorrow's your
debut race, Oguriii!Copy !req
214. DAY OF THE JUNIOR DEBUT RACECopy !req
215. KASAMATSU RACECOURSECopy !req
216. WAITING ROOM
All right, listen up.Copy !req
217. Cap's race is the first one,
starting at 2:30 p.m.Copy !req
218. 800 meters on a dirt course.Copy !req
219. KASAMATSU RACECOURSE / STANDS
The gates'll open here,Copy !req
220. and you'll round the curve to finish here,
in front of the stands.Copy !req
221. On top of the short distance,
that curve's a tricky one,Copy !req
222. which means you're in a bad place
if you leave the gate late.Copy !req
223. In other words,
a good start is absolutely key.Copy !req
224. A good start is key...Copy !req
225. Don't forget, you're not
the only racer out there.Copy !req
226. Everyone on that track'll be
vying for position along with you.Copy !req
227. Once you find the lead,
keep an eye on her.Copy !req
228. Consider her position as you time
your final spurt towards the goal.Copy !req
229. Keep an eye on the lead...Copy !req
230. Did she get any of that?Copy !req
231. KASAMATSU RACECOURSE
Well, looks like our runners
have entered the paddock.Copy !req
232. For these debuting racers,
today marks the first timeCopy !req
233. they can show off
their racing prowess.Copy !req
234. In bracket one, post one is
Fujimasa March.Copy !req
235. People have high hopes for this star
of Kasamatsu Tracen Academy.Copy !req
236. She's the favorite today by a long shot.Copy !req
237. FUJIMASA / MARCH
So cool...Copy !req
238. You got thiiis!Copy !req
239. Fangirls, much?
You got thiiis!Copy !req
240. You got thiiis!Copy !req
241. Next in bracket five, post five is...Copy !req
242. Oguri Ca... hm?Copy !req
243. Er, um, well...Copy !req
244. Looks like she forgot to wash her jersey...Copy !req
245. So gross...Copy !req
246. For real...Copy !req
247. What's this?
Oguri Cap takes something out!Copy !req
248. A hair accessory!Copy !req
249. And now... she's put it on!Copy !req
250. Well, uhhh...Copy !req
251. Sh-she must be very in tune with the latest trends!Copy !req
252. Even the caster
doesn't know what to say.Copy !req
253. But why on earth did she put it on now?Copy !req
254. Hehe, she wore it after all.Copy !req
255. Dammit, Shibasaki!Copy !req
256. How dare you pick the same race as us?Copy !req
257. It wasn't on purpose!Copy !req
258. I'm truly sorry about this, Jo,Copy !req
259. but we've got this race in the bag.Copy !req
260. She's a true prodigy, that one.Copy !req
261. She's got the brains and the brawn...Copy !req
262. And she can draw it all
out in an instant.Copy !req
263. Oh yeah? Well, Cap's just as good!
She's got... uh...Copy !req
264. She's got hella flexible knees!Copy !req
265. That's right!
And she loves her mother very, very much!Copy !req
266. You're not very good at this...Copy !req
267. All racers have assembled at the gates,
waiting for the race to begin.Copy !req
268. Better tie these extra tight.Copy !req
269. Oguri Cap.Copy !req
270. I refuse to lose to you.Copy !req
271. I will be the one going
to the Tokai Derby.Copy !req
272. The Tokai Derby...Copy !req
273. TOKAI DERBY?
What's that again?"Copy !req
274. Now, with preparations complete,
our racers are entering their gates!Copy !req
275. The others will prove no challenge.Copy !req
276. If anyone does... it'll be Oguri Cap.Copy !req
277. No doubt it'll be down to us two.Copy !req
278. With everyone now lined up,Copy !req
279. the 800-meter debut race can begin!Copy !req
280. Once this race starts...Copy !req
281. you'll see how weak you truly are!Copy !req
282. The gates open and our racers are off!Copy !req
283. That's it! The perfect start!Copy !req
284. What about Cap?Copy !req
285. Wha...!Copy !req
286. Not the cleanest start to a race,
but the debut race has begun!Copy !req
287. Just which racer will claim the win?Copy !req
288. Uh-oh, one racer left the gate late!Copy !req
289. Number five, Oguri Cap! Oguri Cap makes a late start!Copy !req
290. Oguri Cap is currently trailing
behind the rest of the pack!Copy !req
291. Nyeheehee, loser.Copy !req
292. Did her shoelaces come undone aga...Copy !req
293. You...Copy !req
294. I swear I didn't do anything!Copy !req
295. I told her a good start was key...Copy !req
296. That's it, March!Copy !req
297. Why's Oguri... looking at her feet?Copy !req
298. Despite her late start, Oguri Cap has caught up
to the back of the pack!Copy !req
299. Good, that's it! We've still got a chance!Copy !req
300. Number three, South Heroine is in the lead,Copy !req
301. followed by Sekai Toha in second!Copy !req
302. Finally, pursuing them
from the inside is the favoriteCopy !req
303. Fujimasa March, currently in third!Copy !req
304. Kitahara said to keep
an eye on the lead, but...Copy !req
305. I can't... see her.Copy !req
306. The racers are now
entering the third corner!Copy !req
307. Wh-whoa! Whoa!Copy !req
308. Ah!Copy !req
309. Sorry!Copy !req
310. What the?Copy !req
311. Pfft, what's her deal?Copy !req
312. Look where you're going, stupid.Copy !req
313. Wait, why? Why'd she move to the outside?Copy !req
314. Physics.Copy !req
315. CENTRIFUGAL FORCE
When a runner turns, centrifugal force pushes
their body's center of mass to the outside!Copy !req
316. With such a steep curveCopy !req
317. and all these racers grouped together,
collisions can happen.Copy !req
318. But that's...Copy !req
319. March moved to the front
to avoid the dangers of the pack...Copy !req
320. What great racing instincts!Copy !req
321. Easy now. The straight's up ahead...
That's where the real race begins.Copy !req
322. And the lead can't
keep this up much longer.Copy !req
323. The pack's approaching the fourth corner!Copy !req
324. South Heroine remains in the lead,
with Fujimasa March following close behind!Copy !req
325. The rest of the pack is picking up the pace
and gaining on them!Copy !req
326. Not yet...Copy !req
327. Now!Copy !req
328. Number one, Fujimasa March picks up the pace!Copy !req
329. Will she overtake South Heroine?Copy !req
330. See you later.Copy !req
331. Fujimasa March takes the lead!Copy !req
332. I-I caaan't!Copy !req
333. FUJIMASA / MARCH
No way! Look at her go!"Copy !req
334. Hell yeah.Copy !req
335. You've got thiiis!Copy !req
336. - That's it! That's it!
- No, no, no!Copy !req
337. 200 meters to go!Copy !req
338. The lead... there she is!Copy !req
339. I've got a suggestion regarding
that form of yours...Copy !req
340. Kasamatsu Racecourse is a dirt course
made up of soft river sand.Copy !req
341. Not only does it require
more power in your steps,Copy !req
342. but there's also a trick to it.Copy !req
343. A trick?Copy !req
344. Your ankles.Copy !req
345. You lean forward as you run,
but that low center of gravity has its drawbacks...Copy !req
346. The slippery sand will likely disperse
the force of your steps.Copy !req
347. Therein lies the trick...Copy !req
348. First, plant your feet squarely
into the sand, as if to grasp it.Copy !req
349. Then, shift forward and use your ankles
to kick the sand behind you!Copy !req
350. In a sense, it'd be more like
swimming than running.Copy !req
351. You'd basically be using your ankles
to propel yourself through the sand.Copy !req
352. Therefore, this strategy depends
on their strength.Copy !req
353. Starting now, I want you to
work on those ankle muscles.Copy !req
354. They're going to be the key
to winning at Kasamatsu.Copy !req
355. I've got plenty of energy...Copy !req
356. And I can see the lead.Copy !req
357. Pretend I'm swimming.Copy !req
358. Grasp the sand...Copy !req
359. Lean forward...Copy !req
360. and kick back!Copy !req
361. Whoa-ho!Copy !req
362. A racer comes rushing in
from the outside!Copy !req
363. What?Copy !req
364. It's Oguri Cap!Copy !req
365. Number five, Oguri Cap!
Oguri Cap is making a break for it!Copy !req
366. - What?
- What?Copy !req
367. - Aw yeeeeah!
- Goooo!Copy !req
368. Run, March!Copy !req
369. Oguri Cap surges
to the front of the pack!Copy !req
370. This is so much easier.
And I feel faster to boot.Copy !req
371. Kitahara...Copy !req
372. He knows his stuff.Copy !req
373. Chasing the lead like a surging storm,
it's number five, Oguri Cap!Copy !req
374. She's closing in at breakneck speed!Copy !req
375. Oguri Cap rushes in, easily snatching second!Copy !req
376. But her mark is Fujimasa March!Copy !req
377. Fujimasa March races on
with Oguri Cap closing in!Copy !req
378. It's down to the wire!Copy !req
379. I'm aiming to be Tokai Derby champion!Copy !req
380. You think I'd let myself loseCopy !req
381. here of all places?Copy !req
382. Fujimasa March accelerates,
pushing forward once again!Copy !req
383. Caaap!Copy !req
384. Oguri?Copy !req
385. But Oguri Cap keeps up
her dogged pursuit!Copy !req
386. She's caught up!
Oguri Cap has caught up to Fujimasa March!Copy !req
387. Only 100 meters remain!Copy !req
388. Will it be number one, Fujimasa March?Copy !req
389. Or number five, Oguri Cap?Copy !req
