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!
Are you all right? You look pale.
Luca's worried too.
Is he really?
Um...
Good morning.
Is everything okay?
What are you talking about?
We won the race, so there's no problem.
What about you, Liz? You look pale.
Not even half your skill was in the Edgeraid race.
I look forward to the next one.
Let's start the meeting.
Right.
Have you found anything?
Nothing, which bothers me.
That can't be...
It's original software, so bugs aren't unusual.
But it's like my child, so I'll find the problem no matter what.
I see.
It's tough when you can't see the problem.
Find the problem and move forward. Like managing the team.
You're right.
First, look at this.
It's the Edgeraid race data...
Amy and Liz couldn't act since they had to follow Takeshi.
That's...
It's true the main cause was that the software failed.
But if Takeshi hadn't acted alone, we would've won more easily.
You have an excellent midfielder and defender.
Don't take them for granted.
Don't fight alone. I know you can do it.
Our next foe, White Snow, races logically with Zanak as pillar.
They research well and win with minimum effort.
They must've thoroughly studied our races.
So with a new formation...
...we'll strike Zanak, their control tower, at once.
Liz and Amy enter a corner side by side...
...and fling Takeshi over the opponent.
And at Zanak's response to Takeshi, Liz attacks from below.
I'm a decoy?
The same moves won't secure a win. We need teamwork.
Saying that I can do it... You don't trust me at all!
This is strategy.
And if the software fails?
What?
If you want to win, at least perfect the machines!
Takeshi!
Prepare for the party ahead of time.
Aye aye, sir.
What's that attitude? You can't race and not trust the machines.
I think he really wants to trust...
I have an errand to run, so I'll eat out.
Liz feels different than usual.
I know.
This isn't the time for such things.
But it bugs me.
It's hard being on a team.
Hello.
Judy and Max...
I'm honored that you remember. May we sit down with you?
Sure...
Work?
Yes.
That match was impressive. Especially Liz.
We're both fans of hers.
She fights elegantly.
We heard something this season that made us worry.
Worry?
What is it?
Liz is doing fine.
As we thought, she's strong.
Max was worried since finding out that Liz's orphanage closed.
She feels sorry for Liz.
Well, I'm relieved.
If she has support like you...
...the team's her family.
That's wonderful.
I want to eat cake.
Oh, right.
Um, I have to get going.
We have no choice but to trust Mark.
What's this?
Thanks for the work.
You came up with a brilliant idea.
Will they get it?
It's up to them.
I know about it, but there's nothing I can do...
How disappointing.
A coward?
I know I am...
Okay, I'll do my best. I'll give my all.
Let's start practice.
The monitor's squares are the same colors as your buttons.
Memorize these precisely and hit them in the correct order.
Got it?
Hold on...
Two-second goal. Get ready.
Start!
Next. Attack formation A-3.
Start!
Next. Defense formation D-5.
Start!
Amy!
I'm sorry.
It was delicious mint tea.
That's good.
I'll go get a towel.
Did something happen?
Her body can't keep up?
We'll follow through.
I'll be fine.
Hey, don't you think so?
Maybe she's not looking where we are.
Takeshi!
It's more timing than coordination, so if we cover for her...
I know, but...
Amy's not doing well, so maybe it won't work.
I think there are more reliable strategies.
Don't say that now. Say it to Amy in person.
We can't grow without talking.
Humans aren't made to get each other just like that!
Don't act cool and run away, you coward.
I'm sorry I couldn't do it well.
Various things distracted me.
But I'll give it my best.
Ow, sorry.
Um, is it better not to look ahead?
Look at it all as one picture, including the monitor.
Oh, I see.
Good, we want it a bit faster.
I'll do my best.
She must be asleep.
The anticipated race is starting!
We'll see how this year's rookie, White Snow...
...faces last year's rookie and champion, Team Satomi.
I want to go have cake again.
All right, let's go after the match.
Let's go.
We'll cover you even if you get worked up.
I'm not worked up.
I hear, "That's untrue."
It's not untrue.
Let's have fun doing this, Amy.
Mark.
We'll be fine, right?
I did what I could.
I was really fired up before the season started.
A lot happened.
Though I'm called a champion...
...the truth is I'm one pilot, and I can't pilot the machine solo.
When the intangible and the rest connect, I finally become me.
You taught me that, Amy.
Do your best?
You have it easy. Just meow.
I wish that idiot would get that.
The machines are on the grid!
The race is on!
This is White Snow's first IG-1 race...
...but they've taken smooth paths. They don't feel overeager at all!
Let's go, Takeshi.
We won't fail if we stay cool.
You can feel the result of the intensive training.
Liz.
Don't you want to say more to Takeshi?
We're all Team Satomi.
What?
Whoa, Team Satomi started something on the course!
I really hate how you are now.
But at the same time, I have great hopes in you.
So I don't want to see this shell of a Takeshi.
Let's do our best and win for sure!
Let's win.
I know.
Mission accomplished, huh?
They make me work too hard.
Now for this.
Zanak's brilliance and analytical skills led his team to League 1.
What kind of battle will he show us?
How are we doing?
Perfectly.
All machines are entering the second lap! The battles begin!
Let's roll!
Roger!
Conditions are always changing...
If the timing's right, they can bring him down for sure.
Now!
All right!
Right there!
Got him.
Liz's entry angle is a total blind spot. And that speed...
It's impossible to dodge.
He dodged?
Whoa...
Zanak dodged Liz's attack quite easily! But this is...
He dodged simultaneous attacks so easily!
He's in position to dodge Liz's attack just as Takeshi was up.
He knew it'd come?
Impossible.
These guys...
I knew it was a waste to practice...
Simple.
It's boring.
We need a bit more of a twist.
Whoa, White Snow is making such light and smooth moves!
But the formation resembled Team Satomi's before.
What in the world is happening?
Well, it's showtime.
Yes.
Aye aye, sir.
Takeshi!
Are you all right?
Damn it!
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."
