After finishing last, Onoda must overtake one hundred competitors. Teshima encourages him to focus, and the support team restarts his effort. The small mountain roads and the pack ahead make the task difficult, but an anime song lifts his spirits. Onoda counts each person he passes. Arakita claims Onoda cannot catch them before day ends due to the narrow road. At the final man, Onoda encounters Midosuji, who reveals a secret that would let him win all legs if he tried. Onoda passes Midosuji and rejoins his teammates. He becomes the head of his team's drifting pack, while Makishima begins a breakaway using spider climbing techniques.
