Sakamichi Onoda is back in "Yowamushi Pedal New Generation." He has come a long way since the beginning of the series, and this time he has to help lead a new generation of cyclists as the Sōhoku High bicycle club tries to defend the title they took from Hakone Academy at the previous Inter-High race.
With Shingo Kinjou, Yuusuke Makishima and Jin Tadokoro gone from the team, Junta Teshima and Hajime Aoyagi are now the captain and vice-captain of the club, and along with Onoda, Shunsuke Imaizumi and Shoukichi Naruko, they will have to fill the void left by members who graduated. It's time for a new generation to step up.
Their main rivals from Hakone Academy haven't been sitting idle either and they have been training to get their title back.
