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!
Cunningham, I'll beat you!
I've been waiting for this feeling!
Awesome.
They're on par...
Takeshi has grown.
His emotional growth is clearly showing, not just his training.
I want to beat him!
I'll annihilate you!
No opening.
Then I'll make one!
Leave it to me!
I won't let you!
Jan!
I dropped my guard.
Can you move?
Yeah, my right arm doesn't work, but the rest is fine!
Good!
That wasn't enough?
Their attacks are ferocious.
Don't underestimate Velshtein!
On our pride, we will defeat you!
What a hot battle!
Amy and Liz are not only on par with Jan and Dew.
They're able to shut out Velshtein and gain the upper hand!
Jan, Dew, can you hear me?
You two are far superior to them. Don't follow Satomi's pace.
Yes, sir!
Takeshi, you...
I can't breathe, but...
...I'm having fun!
He's tough.
What an intense battle!
Team Satomi, Team Velshtein... Neither is backing down!
They're now in the third lap!
What a race!
In theory, they should've changed into speed mode by now...
...but no machine has had time.
An impossible event, an impossible battle, unfolding before our eyes!
A true melee. Anyone could finish first!
A clash of power and skill!
Team Velshtein. Team Satomi.
You're all amazing! Too amazing!
Whoa! This is...
A judgment is required!
We'll replay the defining moment in slow motion.
Whoa, is it Cunningham?
H-Hold on.
T-T-T-Takeshi! Takeshi came in first!
Cunningham is second, Liz third, followed by Dew, Amy, and Jan!
This sends Team Satomi to the finals!
All right!
Yahoo!
Yes!
What does the great coach think of our pilots?
They did great.
No mistake.
Team Satomi won the race, but it was a superb battle!
This race wasn't possible without Velshtein!
We did it. This race wasn't possible without Velshtein!
Takeshi.
Congratulations.
Thank you, Cunningham.
You beat me twice.
I hate to say it, but I guess it's time to accept it.
Your answer to that old question.
When I come to an empty IGPX course, my heart races.
I feel calmer in the actual races.
I've wanted to know your answer.
And to keep defeating you and Velshtein...
...we, Team Satomi, will keep working hard.
I'm glad we raced you.
It reminded us that we weren't invincible.
We'll see you next year.
Since you beat us, don't lose to White Snow.
Over at last, and I want a break, but...
The final race is in two days.
We have to do our best.
What?
Thanks, Liz.
Out of the blue?
Fighting Velshtein today made me realize again how important you are.
So I wanted to thank you.
You didn't realize the obvious till now?
If so, you're too slow!
Well then, thank Amy and Luca too.
You bet.
You're open.
Why, Liz? That's not nice.
Don't get high and mighty.
Our opponent is Team Satomi.
Isn't that what you wanted?
I'm glad.
I'm sure you are.
We can prove that we've been right.
We'll create plenty of big scenes.
Won't we, Max?
Aye aye, sir.
We did it.
One more and we're champs again.
Of course we'll win.
Don't get too impatient.
Man...
I'm going for coffee.
Andrei doesn't seem that happy.
That guy isn't honest.
Yahoo!
Yo, Kaiser.
It's been a while, Rocket George.
You're greeting me?
What in the world is going on?
Your words always wound me.
Sorry, old habit.
Indeed.
Win the next one.
"Of course we'll win..."
...is what I'd like to say, but no one will know till we try.
That's like you.
Want to go drinking again?
Sounds good.
It's like you.
Now, we have the two teams for the final race.
The rookies, Team White Snow, versus Team Satomi.
Which team will be crowned victors?
One more win...
I want to be champs with Amy and Takeshi, the three of us.
Good work. Just one more match.
Let's give our all.
That's my brother.
I can't believe you beat Cunningham.
It hasn't hit me either.
Maybe that's how it is.
I won't bother you today. Get some rest.
I did it!
Yuri!
What?
Look at this.
So what did you want to show me?
Never mind. Good night.
And I end up playing this game again...
You again, Mini Bear?
That's right!
Bye-bye! See you!
I'm done playing games.
I'll see you soon, Takeshi.
You fought well.
I'm satisfied.
But I'm greedy.
I'm counting on one more win.
That's it from us.
For today, you can do a light workout to warm up.
Or you can rest.
That's all. You're free.
Huh? That's it?
Something's missing.
Says our great coach's huge fan.
It's nothing like that...
Yo, Takeshi.
Hey.
I'll introduce you. My wife...
...and daughter.
What? Really?
I'm not lying.
I’ve shied away from introducing them to everyone...
...but they wanted to see the old man's workplace.
But you said you lied about that...
Right, the truth is that I lied about lying.
A shrewd coach's lesson of not simply believing what adults say.
Come on...
Daddy, do you always tease the pilots like that?
They'll hate you.
Y-You're right.
Takeshi, thanks for everything.
Your hard work has given me hope.
Is that so?
It is.
Actually, my wife and daughter came back to me just yesterday.
After seeing my dad work so hard, wanting to see him is natural.
I guess.
Takeshi, Team Satomi's fighting spirit...
...has given him hope and strength.
She's said it all.
Right...
Got to go.
We'll invite you to our home soon.
They're really happy.
How are things going?
Smoothly.
Ichi watched the race, so he got the replacement parts ready.
Team Satomi has dependable supporters.
We wouldn't have come this far without their hard work.
Um, am I included among them too?
Of course!
Words can't describe how much you've encouraged us.
Thank you.
Takeshi's not here.
Is he taking the day off?
I saw your battle.
You've become an awesome pilot.
Give me your autograph after you eat.
Yeah, sure.
I feel wound up.
I thought I'd take a day off today, but my body wants to work out.
Good evening, Takeshi.
What do you want?
I've heard Japan has a tradition called "challenging a dojo."
I'm fairly trained in kendo...
...so if you don't mind, may I have a match?
Tomorrow's the IGPX match.
Then you'd rather not?
Maybe we lack common sense.
It would be terrible if you got hurt here.
Since you've come all this way, let's have a match.
We will even if I say no.
Very perceptive.
Don't worry.
I won't do anything that could affect tomorrow's race.
Will Zanak win?
He's the leader.
He is.
Is my stance getting you flustered?
Thanks for the concern.
Sorry to let you down, but I'm calm.
Zanak, Team Satomi will defeat you three 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."
