Izumida refuses to zip his jersey, claiming insufficient competition, while criticizing Naruko and Tadokoro for their perceived lack of coordination and shared shield. However, the duo has been holding back. Naruko unveils his time trial Rocket man Sprint to close the gap. As Naruko catches up, an enraged Tadokoro inhales a massive amount of oxygen, allowing his lungs to accelerate and match the pace. The intense pressure causes Izumida’s abs to throb, prompting him to finally zip his jersey as he realizes he is facing a genuine, high-stakes race against determined opponents.
