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'll attack!
Roger!
I'll teach you...
...that times have changed!
Look out!
Brilliant!
Way to go!
Let's see...
W-What the?
What's wrong, Takeshi?
Not good!
Takeshi!
Is this all, Takeshi?
You can't take control of this much speed?
Takeshi, I'm disappointed with you!
All right!
She's gotten stronger!
Mark, how's the damage to Takeshi?
We'll manage in the three-minute pit time.
Roger. But stand by for now.
Is that okay?
Our opponent's Velshtein. If we miss the timing, we'll lose.
Roger.
Andrei, what's the plan?
Beat your foe somehow, Takeshi.
Come on!
What's wrong, Takeshi?
Why can't I do it right?
Why can't I dodge?
I'll nail you!
It's over!
Give the pit sign!
Right!
Mark, it's yours.
Already out.
Whoa!
It seems Team Satomi's Takeshi and Velshtein's Jan got crushed!
The pit sign is on, and the pit machines are coming out.
Takeshi's damage seems extensive.
Can they make the repairs in three minutes of pit time?
If it exceeds three minutes, they'll be penalized and lose points.
Takeshi, good job! Three-minute fix!
Thanks, Mark!
You're having trouble, Takeshi.
You're doing great, Andrei.
Better than I initially imagined.
But...
But?
I'll tell you this. There's good news and bad news.
The good news is I'm doing well, as you saw.
If I keep this up, the rest will work out.
The bad news?
Any more is useless.
My stamina's going, and it's time for the magic to end.
The carriage will turn into a pumpkin.
What's that mean?
You'll see in the next round.
Jan, can you hear?
Sir! Yes, sir!
I'm disappointed you can't see through Andrei's simple tricks.
Tricks?
That's right. You should realize that.
Listen, Jan.
Andrei's attacks at you aren't fast.
They look fast.
What do you mean?
He always uses a one-two punch, right?
The first one is a slow punch thrown slightly from the side.
Then the second one is a fast punch from straight ahead.
So if you follow the first punch, the next punch feels fast...
...and you fail to dodge it.
It's not that his punches are fast. It's that he makes them feel fast.
I see.
My ruse should be revealed by now.
The pit time limit is almost up!
Looks like Team Velshtein is done with repairs!
Team Satomi barely made it!
Mark, thanks.
Great job, Mark.
Andrei, directions?
Of course.
The race is back on!
Now! Follow me!
What?
Andrei, what's the plan?
Keep your mouth shut and follow me!
Damn!
Team Velshtein pursues!
I've never seen such a development.
There's a first for everything.
I won't last much longer.
Let's finish this soon.
Velshtein's close! They're about to catch up with Team Satomi!
They're catching up!
Stay with me!
Whoa, all machines are in single file!
A clever tactic! It'll be extremely hard to pass from behind!
Follow close!
Andrei, awesome! I never thought of this!
It'd be the best if we won.
I didn't drop my guard... That's Rocket George for you.
I'll wait till you're off-guard and pass.
Yeah, we're Team Velshtein.
But at this rate...
...Velshtein will have 18 points, and we'll have 15.
They'll win.
I know that.
Liz. Takeshi.
It's up to you.
There's a crash!
Velshtein's Jan and Dew and Team Satomi's Andrei have crashed!
Cunningham, Liz, and Takeshi finish in that order!
This gives Team Velshtein 15 points and Team Satomi 12...
...making Team Velshtein the winner!
Hold on a second!
That's...
Amazing...
It's Andrei! Team Satomi's Andrei!
He places fourth and gets three points.
Team Satomi's total points go to 15...
...and amazingly, they tie with Velshtein!
It's a tie! It's a tie!
They tied with Velshtein!
He's an amazing guy. He knew we couldn't win.
Wasn't it a last-minute whim?
Man, Satomi is never an easy team to defeat.
It's amazing they tied Velshtein without Amy.
The team doesn't rely only on Takeshi.
But that's fine.
I always tell you guys to win...
...but it's clearly not that easy to win now that I've piloted.
There's another race before Amy gets back.
I'll do my best to manage.
Andrei, sorry. I underestimated your ability.
To think you'd race that well after such a long absence.
Our coach is cool.
That's Takeshi's hero for you.
Yeah, he was awesome out there.
We did well despite everything.
Let's endure in the best condition we can.
Right!
Cunningham...
I'm deeply disappointed in you.
You're not worthy to be my rival.
The insult to IGPX is unforgivable.
We don't approve of that race!
What's with them?
Fire!
Hey, Big Brother.
It wasn't in my room. When'd you sneak out with that?
I never gave it away. I was just lending it.
I took it back.
But...
"Stay clear of God to avoid a curse."
Twenty...
You got here early.
I have a lot on my mind...
Want to challenge me?
Takeshi, you don't think I can beat you, do you?
But I won't go first...
...which means I won't lose unless you attack.
Then I'll attack!
What's the matter?
Not settling this with one blow?
I'm pretty good at just parrying.
Aren't you getting tired?
You seem lost.
Well, I won.
What have I been doing up till now?
Cheer up, Takeshi.
Thanks.
Let's try to enjoy our time together.
Sure...
Takeshi, sorry, but I'll get going.
I want to help you any way I can...
...but I can't do anything for you today.
Fantine, I'm sorry.
It's okay. But we'll be facing off next.
So it's good to keep some distance.
It's not going well...
Takeshi.
Zanak.
What a coincidence, Takeshi. I saw your race yesterday.
That's good.
Frankly, I was disappointed.
I want to remain your fan...
...but it'll be hard if you continue to fight like that.
Your team doesn't seem to be a very fair team.
I can't be your fan either.
That's too bad.
I'm glad we talked today.
See you again.
Is that all?
I came all this way to hear you whine?
I'm really bothered.
You've just had it too good till now, right?
I'm bothered.
You're unbelievable. You're talking to me about this?
You've no idea how you frustrated me in my Team Satomi days.
I found my place in Sledgemama.
Becoming a worthless pilot is up to you...
...but protect your own honor.
But...
What makes you think I sympathize...
...just because you're feeling what I felt with Team Satomi?
I'll only notice what I see in our fights.
This you is the worst.
Hey, Luca...
Aren't you concerned about Takeshi?
Maybe a little bit?
"Let me sleep"?
Sorry...
Confucius says, "One worries that he does not know others...
...not that he does not know himself."
Takeshi, at this rate, I pity the IG machine.
That's not about me...
You know that's included too.
Then what should I do?
Tell me!
It's time you stop being...
...a baby!
You pilots are IGPX's main characters.
We mechanics work hard to make you guys shine.
You're not worthy of our hard work right now!
Takeshi!
What shall we do?
To think Takeshi's in a slump this season.
I might have made it worse.
It's no one's fault.
It's harder to remain a pilot than to become one.
Takeshi's the type who performs well due to natural talent.
Hardships are his weakness.
Then what now?
He let himself get down, so only he can get out of it.
There's nothing we can do, is there?
But the next race against Skylark is coming.
We've no choice but to count on Andrei and Liz to lead the race.
Little Voice! Little Voice!
I'm Mini Bear. Let's have a fight.
I don't fight weak girls.
Don't write me off.
See you again!
I'll run Takeshi down totally.
For White Snow's honor?
I'm not sure about that.
I'm having fun.
I'll annihilate Team Satomi for sure.
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."
