I'm going there quickly
So don't worry anymore
To save you, because I love you
A mysterious uneasiness
An SOS from you
I kept feeling it since last night
A sudden storm is blocking your way
I saw a visual of it
Lover or miracles
You can't look down on it. Even time would...
...bring new waves
I'm going there right now
So just stay there
Always keep the dream you have
You can do it
I'm going there quickly
So don't worry anymore
To save you, because I love you
At the first race of the Cyber Formula World Grand Prix, Knight Schumacher....
...won his victory by using his overwhelmingly fast driving skill.
This competition was in part a survival race. We were impressed by the skilled...
...racers who planned well and controlled the pace of the race.
Now, let's listen to the winner's interview.
Hayato Kazami...
A Glorious Racer
At the 1st race of the World Grand Prix, which was the Grand Canyon round...
...Hayato was too anxious to win and leaped out too early at the start of the race.
He ignored advice from the pit and ran on his own at top speed.
But his reckless driving turned him into prey for the other stronger drivers.
Slow down! The engine heat has reached its limit.
I don't care! I have to make up for this one minute penalty!
I have to go on! That's the only thing I can do!
I wasn't wrong!
Damn it! The brakes are totally gone!
This is really bad.
I have change all the parts.
This is no worse than scrap. I can't stand it.
Asurada's performance shouldn't have been any worse...
...than the machine that won.
How could've it ended up out of the race?
It's Hayato's fault!
He totally ignored the direction from the pit!
Poor judgement! Reckless driving!
His selfish way of racing caused the machine to end up like this!
Oh, Miki!
So, it's good timing. I want to Hayato to remember this well.
The World Grand Prix was a dream for all of us.
I don't want Hayato to destroy it with his selfish attitude.
I think we couldn't have attended the World Grand Prix if I wasn't the driver.
What?!
I made the judgments and won the Super License with my driving skill.
So, I don't think my strategy for the race was wrong!
Hayato, are you seriously saying that?
Hayato, don't act like that!
Do you know what the media and the fans are saying about you?
I think that's enough!
Hayato Kazami, the racer who's only been winning because of his luck...
...and his machine's good performance! But his luck has already...
...ended at the Grand Canyon!
You suck!
This team sucks!
You are all ridiculous! Damn it!
Asuka, let's go cruising on motorcycles!
We'll drive tandem in the city.
Where is everybody?
Who cares about them?!
It's not only you who was shocked about this.
We're competing in a race together.
I was very upset with you yesterday, Hayato.
I didn't do anything wrong!
Hayato!
Oh! Hayato!
Damn it! Damn it!
I know. I'm not perfect as a racer, yet.
I'm the one who knows that the most! But I'm doing my best!
Today, our guest is cyber formula racer, Jackie Gudelhian.
Well, yesterday's race was quite an event, wasn't it?
Once that Japanese boy, Hayato Kazami, was on top, what did you think?
He's totally unprofessional. He has no racing skills at all.
But, he's just fourteen years old. So I guess we can't blame him.
Do you think he will attended the second Grand Prix race?
I think it would be an achievement if he could simply complete a race.
I talked with Heinel, and the others.
We all hope that at least he won't disturb the professional racers, like us.
He's so outspoken!
Hey, the signal changed a while ago! Move it!
Where did Hayato go?
I think we were too harsh on him.
I don't think I was.
I think what Chief told him wasn't wrong, but...
But what?
I think we were too hard on him.
What's Hayato doing?!
Asuka, did you hear from him?!
No, not yet.
It's already eleven o'clock.
Everybody, did anything happen between you and Hayato?!
I'll get that.
Hello...Hayato?!
Where the hell are you wandering around?!
I'm going to quit.
What? What do you mean?
I finally understand.
This was a mistake from the beginning. I can't be a Cyber Formula racer.
What did you say?!
I don't want to be a burden on everybody anymore.
I want to keep some pride.
Fine! Why don't you quit?!
Any person who has a stupid sense of pride, never has to come back here!
Damn that boy!
Asuka, let's prepare to go back to Japan!
Boss!
Give up about racing.
There is no driver, anymore!
Hey, boy. What can I do for you?
Please give me a drink.
I think you better have some milk, kid.
I want a drink.
Cute customer, isn't he?
Do you have any money?
This is all I have.
That's all?
Can I stay here until morning? And...
Hey, kid! I think I saw your face somewhere.
Yeah, I think so, too.
I know! You're a Cyber Formula racer!
That's right. He drove recklessly in yesterday's race.
He completely damaged his machine and was forced out of the race.
No wonder. If this poor looking kid is a driver, he must be hopeless!
I already quit racing!
Bourbon is a man's drink.
I don't want a coward to drink it.
Coward! Why am I a coward?!
Leaving the team only after one failure is the attitude of a coward.
It wasn't a failure.
My judgementwas right.
If the machine was steady, I could have won the race.
It's the machine's fault if you couldn't win?
That's a kid's excuse.
What did you say?!
Hey, are you all right?
He's fainted.
Just like that?
Maybe he didn't eat anything before he came here.

I wasn't wrong.
I wasn't wrong at all!
W...wait.
Wait for me. Wait!
Ouch.
Where am I?
You finally woke up.
Here's a change of clothes for you.
I'm just washing your clothes now, so put these on.
I'm John's neighbor, Maria. Nice to meet you.
This is John's room.
He brought you here.
What?
Your name is Hayato, isn't it? John told me.
I made breakfast, so why don't you go and get changed now?
John! Hayato woke up!
I made cofee. Why don't you come up?
Hayato, did you change?
Oh!
I guess John's clothes are too big on you.
It might be better I had given you my clothes.
No, this is fine.
What is this?
I heard that you're Cyber Formula racer, too.
So, you must know John Cleeve.
John Cleeve?
Is he...?
Yes, the legendary champion of Cyber Formula Grand Prix.
He won the championship 21 times.
He was first consecutive world champion in history.
John Cleeve was the glory of America.
But, one day, he suddenly disappeared from the racing world.
After he made enough money.
He withdrew from all his racers.
Because he started having fears about racing.
A hero on the decline, John Cleeve. There isn't racer who doesn't know him.
Yesterday, you said I'm a coward.
You're the coward!
Damn it!
You're here.
What?
You have no right to criticize John.
I just told him the truth.
You don't know anything! So don't speak so arrogantly!
Then what is the truth that I don't know about?!
John told me that I should never tell anyone.
But, I have to tell to someone like you.
What?
John didn't quit racing because he was scared.
John lost his right eye and left leg in an accident.
What?
He was on the way back from testing a machine that day.
But John didn't report the accident to the media.
Why?
If that girl knew a world famous racer lost his career because of her...
...how much quilt would she have lived with from then on?
So, John was...
What's the matter, Hayato? I asked Maria to make you breakfast.
The room isn't locked.
John!
I'm sorry. You were very kind to me.
But, I said such mean things to you.
Did Maria tell you about me?
Yes.
Maria's big mouth always causes problems.
Don't quit racing!
What?
There are so many things that happen, when you race for a long time.
Remember the first time you got in the machine.
The first time I got in the machine?
You driving is similar to mine when I was young.
I wish I could have competed with you once on the circuit.
John.
Remember the first time you got in the machine.
Hey, kid! Wake up!
Kid!
Hey, here's breakfast for you. John asked me to bring this to you.
See you.
Hey, where's John?
Oh,don't you know?
John's attending a bicycle race, today.
He's already where the competition is being held.
I'm going there, too, for business.
Oh, wait! Can I go with you too?
Sure. Get on!
Thank you.
Good luck!
John. John.
Go! Go! Looking good!
Each of the racers makes a great start.
The 250 kilometer South Rim City Road has begun.
I'll borrow this for a little while.
What? Oh, Hey!
I found an interesting racer's name on the registration list.
John Cleeve. He's former world champion in Cyber Formula racing.
It's been a few years...
...since he disappeared from the Cyber Formula racing world.
But now he's come back as a road racer!
Hang on!
Now, they're at the last 25 kilometers.
Here's the racers who jumped out from the top group...
...wearing #98, March Scott and #11, John Cleeve.
Who will win this victory?!
Hayato.
You came to support John, didn't you?
Let's go closer to the finish. Everybody's there, too.
Th...thank you.
But, I'll watch him here.
Really. Well then...
Maria!
What?
I'm sorry that I said bad things about John.
That's all right. As long as you understand.
Then, I'll see you later.
I can see the two top racers.
Who will cross the finish first?!
Wow! John Cleeve has started his last sprint!
He's tumbled over! #11, John Cleeve.
And while this is happening, Scott has moved up to the top, by himself.
150 more meters to the finish.
March Scott crossed the finish line!
John Cleeve still can't get up.
Now #24 and #52 are now heading towards the finish.
John.
What's happened to John Cleeve?! He still can't stand up!
Finally, #11, John Cleeve, is standing up!
John Cleeve is walking with a limp in his left leg.
Did he injure it when he stumbled?
Now, seventh place is #36 and eighth place is #42. Both cross the finish!
-I can't see any other racers following! -Excuse me!
John Cleeve is limping on his leg, trying to get to his bike.
John Cleeve got on the bike! He's back in the race!
John...
#11, John Cleeve, crosses the finish! He's in ninth place!
All right!
John!
Good work, John.
I undersrand, John. It's more important to...
...do your best, even if you are suffering. More important than it is just to win.
I forgot about that feeling.
Hayato, your race has just started.
Is Hayato really planning not to come back?
Making us worry like this! He's really giving us trouble!
V-8, what did you pick up?
What is it?
Hot-dog?
Everyone, please eat. I'm sorry.
What? This is Hayato's handwriting. Everyone, please eat. I'm sorry.
What is that?
It's Asurada! Hayato's come back.
John! I'm going to run!
I don't want to lose to you!
The reason a human's eyes...
...are not on their back is...
...because we live facing forward
Because we have a mission...
...believe each other
When I stop working...
...and look up at the blue sky...
...believe each other
Your smile becomes my emotional support
Because there are hard times now...
...tomorrow will shine bright
So, I'm not going to regret...
...the goal I had chosen
Now run the wind
Someday we're winners
