Summary[]
As Mashiba gets ready to leave for the ring, Sendō complains about him not leaving fast enough, but Mashiba argues that he is the reason he is late. Mashiba walks to the door, and Sendō attempts to trip him, but Mashiba knew he would do that and tells him his legs are too short. When Mashiba arrives to the ring, everyone is shocked that he already looks like he got beaten up. Mashiba is agitated and wants the match to be over with already so he can go back to his waiting room to Sendō. His opponent, Romeo, is confused on why he is already beaten up and angry, but his coach thinks he might just be tense. In the waiting room, Yanaoka claims that it is the first time he had to use ice before a match. Yanaoka wants Sendō to focus on his match, but Sendō is only focused on settling the score with Mashiba. When the match begins, Romeo enters an orthodox stance while Mashiba charges forward, confusing the audience as Mashiba hardly ever charges forward. Ippo notices that Romeo has predicted Mashiba's charge, wanting Mashiba to stop.
