Summary[]
At Bison's corner, Bison is angry that Takamura has stolen his Detroit Style and Flicker Breaker, deeming him a thief. At Takamura's corner, Takamura stands up, telling Kamogawa he doesn't need to recover, only to rehydrate. While Kamogawa is worried, Takamura claims to not sweat it, as he will just pop over and bring the belt to him. Bison stands up, telling his coach that he is fine, as the only problem he has is Takamura, thinking how everything he does is to mock him, wondering why he doesn't feel embarrassed stealing the WBC belt. As the fourth round begins, Bison enters his Detroit Style while Takamura walks over to him. When Bison was about to send out a Flicker Jab, he sees Takamura getting ready to use the Flicker Breaker, making Bison stop and step back, as his Flicker Jabs has been cut off. Takamura tells Bison to stop hiding at a distance and get close to him so they can stop picking at each other from a distance. Takamura realises that Bison doesn't understand him, so he stomps his foot and tells Bison to fight it out where he is at. Takamura is irritated that Bison still doesn't understand, yelling for him to study a foreign language. The referee orders Takamura to stop talking, but Takamura doesn't understand the referee's English. Bison decides to accept Takamura's request to fight in the middle of the ring, rushing towards him.
