Summary[]
Takamura asks his gym mates near the ring what everybody knows Mamoru Takamura can do. Aoki answers that everyone knows he can be a dick. Takamura tells him that he is dead meat after the match, and moves away from the ropes to exchange more Flicker Jabs. Once Takamura gets pushed back to the ropes by another Flicker Jab, he asks Kimura what Mamoru Takamura can do. Kimura answers that he can win. Takamura tells him he is dead as well, and moves away from the ropes. Yagi thinks Takamura must not be in too much trouble if he is talking to them, but Kamogawa knows he is, as he is trying to buff himself up by fooling around like he always does in these situations. Getting hit by more Flicker Jabs, Takamura wonders what the difference between each other's Flicker Jabs are. Takamura changes the way he throws his Flicker Jabs, and begins to successfully hit Bison. Mashiba explains to Sendō that Takamura loosened up his shoulders and released some tension by not clenching his fist as tightly, raising the speed and reach of the Flicker Jab.
