With the fourth season of the anime now underway, "Yowamushi Pedal" is becoming increasingly popular.
It's a passionate coming-of-age story about high school students who belong to a cycling club.
Yowamushi Pedal is full of memorable scenes and quotes. In this article, we'll be introducing some of the famous quotes from members of rival school "Hakone Academy"!

Fukutomi Juichi

"A bicycle won't move forward if you're looking down.
Look ahead, into the distance. Forget everything. Your past, your ties. A bicycle doesn't have an engine. It's up to you whether you move forward or stop. If you're not moving forward, it's because you're not trying to move forward.
Just look ahead. If you don't use everything you have to move forward, your bicycle won't go faster!!"

This is a line uttered by Arakita, a former delinquent, when he began practicing cycling. Truly a man who will become captain of Hakone Academy.

Yasutomo Arakita

"Hey, Fuku-chan, I've done enough.
I ran... I ran so hard. Those were three intense years, Fuku-chan.
I know... I know. I want only you to praise me.
Fuku-chan, goodbye... Hakogaku, I'm counting on you..."

This is one of Yowamushi Pedal's most memorable scenes!
This is what he says after mustering his last bit of strength and drawing Fukutomi as his ace assist. Incidentally, the answer to this line is

"Ah, Yasutomo.
Your run was amazing!!"

This is the only time Fukutomi calls Arakita by his name.

Toudou Jinpachi

"When you're alone, carrying the Hakone Academy jersey, history, and pride, and heading toward the finish line, run freely. Forget about the team. That's the best way to bring out your climbing ability."

These are words addressed to his junior, Manami. He spoke these words hypothetically, assuming he were ever entrusted with the final moments.
This is what actually happened. Perhaps deep down, Todo had sensed it. Todo is usually a joker, but he is also the one who watches out for Manami and understands her best.

Hayato Shinkai

"Running with all your might toward one goal. That's what purity is all about."

Shinkai and Tadokoro were riding together just as the Inter-High School Championships' overall winner was about to be decided. This is their conversation. It really captures Shinkai's passion for cycling.

Manami Sangaku

"I'm Manami Sangaku. I can't just leave people in trouble in the mountains alone."

This is the scene where Manami and Onoda meet!
At the top of the mountain, Onoda is on the verge of collapsing after not being able to finish his drink, and Manami approaches him, asking, "Is Aquarius okay?" The two then make a promise to run together at the Inter-High.

Izumida Toichiro

"That guy was strong! He stuck to his beliefs and earned his green bib with his strong will and physique. He's a strong sprinter."

These are Izumida's words about Tadokoro Jin, the former Sohoku ace sprinter. At this point, Izumida loses the sprint to the finish line. He recognized his overwhelming talent.

Kuroda Yukinari

"If I'm told to be a sprinter, I'll do it. If I'm told to carry the bottles, I'll do it. I'll work hard and not lie. If there's a role for me, let me do it. I'll do it. I have a lot of potential.
