I can go as far as I want.
Faster and farther than anyone.
Where in the world is the limit? I can't see it yet.
Just look forward and forge ahead.
Fight recklessly.
Until you conquer and win.
If you want to snatch it away no matter what...
...don't give up till the end. (Get Through the Night.)
When we look straight at the faraway place...
...our thoughts come together as one.
IGPX!
Go For It!
Stand firm and stay arrogantly stubborn.
Don't look back if it's the course you set.
Let's rise to the top of the very best.
If you stop, it's all over right there.
Show Fight!
I won't...
I won't lose to you!
I can win.
Amy, back up Takeshi!
I can't! Not right now!
How should I attack River?
It seems Takeshi's struggling.
I wish there was a good strategy...
Takeshi, listen.
Listen to what?
Do you like racing?
Of course!
What about it?
That's all.
Hey, that was advice?
That guy, at a time like this...
I always enjoy it.
To fight tough opponents...
That's...
...fun.
I've analyzed this race's data.
Takeshi has no cover.
Straight ahead?
You!
All right...
What?
Wild but pushing hard.
Takeshi's enjoying it.
River!
Takeshi!
Team Sledgemama's River lost balance big-time and lags behind!
Takeshi's in the lead!
The top two were almost neck and neck!
The photos will determine the result!
I knew it would be Takeshi!
Way to go, Big Brother!
Yahoo!
Takeshi...
We did it!
We did it...
We did it!
I knew we'd win today.
He really is happy, though.
He's not honest.
Banzai! Banzai!
Yeah!
Congratulations.
I honestly never thought you'd come this far...
...but it was a great match today.
Thank you very much.
I honestly never thought we'd make it this far either...
...but we did.
All that's left are the finals with Velshtein, but what's your outlook?
We wouldn't try if we had none.
Could you explain without revealing too much?
Then let's start with Luca.
That's it.
Now a word from our sponsors.
I'm really glad.
Our assists were perfect.
It's fine. I won't argue today.
You're such a brat...
Do you want something?
Sledgemama?
Yamma sent you?
You should know even if I don't answer.
I'm against violence.
Is that right?
Attack together!
Oops, you know our weakness.
I'll fight. Liz, take Amy and run.
You'll get creamed.
Run while I buy time.
The spirit of self-sacrifice?
That's not the plan.
I knew it.
Now!
Wait!
I'm a fan of Team Sledgemama!
I may not be a fair player...
...but I have my own rules.
Thanks for helping us.
I said not to run in my presence.
Looks like our supporters caused you trouble.
You're not hurt?
I'm all right.
Me too.
Liz, I'm not worried about you.
I'll tell you why I didn't like you since the first time I met you.
You were like... him.
I felt Velshtein's Cunningham.
The same thing he had when he debuted in the IGPX.
How could I be nice to someone like that?
See you.
I look forward to the next match.
Sorry, I wanted to talk to you for a little while.
Did your machine trouble have something to do with them?
That's Team Satomi's problem.
I won't discuss it with someone from Team Sledgemama.
I am from Team Sledgemama, all right.
I fought you today with all my strength and had a blast.
Me too, River.
I never knew how exciting it was to run in a real IGPX race.
I won't lose next time.
I won't either.
It's a strange thing.
I feel closer to you after I quit the team.
This season's IGPX rankings below third have been settled...
...and Team Black Egg's demotion to IG-2 is confirmed.
The only interesting thing left...
...is Team Satomi and Team Velshtein's playoff in five days.
Team Satomi was no match for Velshtein in their previous battle.
But since Team Satomi beat Sledgemama...
...we shouldn't expect the same outcome.
That's my big brother! Awesome job!
Yeah, yeah. Till tomorrow.
That was a good day's work.
Did you see how great I was?
You were great.
It's because everyone helped out.
Oh, how modest.
You think?
Yes.
You're changing for the better.
Maybe thanks to me?
As I expected, Team Satomi became a good team.
Cunningham said so too, at the start of the season.
I'm glad your prediction was correct.
But...
What's the matter?
We have to fight Velshtein next.
It's too much?
No, not at all.
Rather, I look forward to it.
But...
But?
I have no idea how we can beat them.
Unfortunately, I can't help you with that.
Our team hasn't beaten Velshtein either.
This isn't related...
...but I suddenly recalled it when fighting River the other day.
That before becoming a pilot...
...I'd imagine driving an IG machine as fast as I could.
It was fun and scary...
...and the best.
IGPX taught me so many things.
I'll challenge Velshtein head-on.
That's like you.
Um, here.
It's a present I couldn't give you before.
Thank you, Takeshi.
It's footage from our last race with Team Velshtein.
It's very short. Watch carefully.
So we need to verify what happened with another camera.
It's Indraga Mano.
It's the only time Team Velshtein used this technique this season.
High voltage creates a difference in air pressure...
...causing a tornado.
To counter this, I...
You thought of a new ultimate weapon?
That's impossible, given budget and time.
Then what should we do?
Dodge it.
Indraga Mano isn't almighty.
Each machine can only launch it once in a race.
If you can dodge it, you should even the odds.
As far as we can tell from this footage...
...it's 0.5 seconds from the part opening to the shock wave striking.
You should be able to dodge it.
Really?
You can if you believe.
You can't if you don't believe.
Pros can do what normal people can't.
At least Rocket George could.
You're not acquainted.
Well, it's true he isn't an acquaintance of mine.
But you have to do it, or there's no chance of winning.
Read their blood thirst.
Kill or be killed, huh?
That's for sure.
Then we have to.
We do.
Men, I thank you once again for winning up till this point.
But if we don't win the very last match...
...the prior victories will not be as glorious.
Our last opponent, Team Satomi, isn't a satisfactory one...
...but knock them down completely.
Sir! Yes, sir!
Sir Hamgra was wordy today.
Yeah, it wasn't like him.
He's aware.
The parts we can see of Team Satomi aren't everything.
They're constantly evolving.
Unless we evolve too, they'll catch up someday.
I see.
But that's not the case with the next race.
Not quite yet.
I can tell.
They'll come and fight us with the intention of winning.
We need to show them clearly just how far apart we are.
Hey, killing time in a place like this?
I was talking to my machine.
You're talking fantasy.
It's not like that.
Just thinking that it really helps me fight well.
True.
Andrei, I've wanted to ask you...
Where were you before this?
It's probably not in the database.
My contract forbids the disclosure of anything...
...before my hiring by Satomi as a coach.
Does it bother you?
A little.
But it's okay since you always give us advice that's right-on.
That's your good point.
A talent to intuitively get to the correct answer.
That's not something you can learn.
As far as I know, you, Cunningham, and Rocket George have it.
That kind of makes me happy.
But it's up to you how you nurture that talent from now on.
It's up to me...
I knew that Sir Hamgra made Velshtein what it is...
...but I didn't know he was a support member of Rocket George.
Don't you think Takeshi will be excited to find this out?
I'm going to sleep too.
Liz, do you think we can win?
You should have a chance.
Whether you can take advantage of it is up to you.
So keep challenging?
It's so you.
You can do it.
Seize it.
Yeah... I had nothing.
No parents, money or education.
But you found the IGPX and came this far on your own.
I get weak unless I keep encouraging myself...
Let's do our best.
Cunningham is awesome.
What are you saying to yourself?
Good morning.
Thanks.
You tried to protect me and Amy the other day.
I didn't thank you for that.
Sure...
Shall I help you train?
Thanks.
Luca's motivated too.
No matter who lends me a hand, I'll accept it gratefully.
I'll defeat Velshtein with everyone's help.
I've been asked to shake hands a lot lately.
Negligence is the greatest enemy. Unless you read their blood thirst...
...we won't win the next race.
I've come to train this early...
...because I'm concerned about the Velshtein race.
We may be no match for Velshtein alone.
But...
...if it's the three of us, we should have a chance to win.
I agree.
Let's fully show them Team Satomi's might.
I don't want to say, "I'll do my best."
Lend me your strength, guys.
The orange-colored sunset...
...dyes the colors of the scenery.
Soon night will fall.
It's a little chilly, isn't it?
Frustrations of today.
Sadness and quietly concealed tears.
All will change into tomorrow's radiance.
Don't worry.
I'll hug you tightly, tightly.
It'll be fine.
Keep believing in your feelings.
I'll smile more and more for you.
Though this is all I can do.
I want to be by your side even so.
I whisper in my heart, "I love you."
