Summary[]
At the Kamogawa gym, Kamogawa, Shinoda, and Yagi informs Aoki and Kimura about their upcoming ranked matches that take place as an opener before the main event of Iga's match, where he is challenging the JBC lightweight champion. Aoki is fired up, wanting to show Iga how much stronger he has gotten. Kimura wonders when did Aoki get stronger. Aoki reveals he has a new upgrade. Ippo claims that he wants to see Aoki's upgrade. A one round spar between Ippo and Aoki begins. Learning that it is a new variation of the Frog Punch, Ippo gets ready to counter the technique. However, Ippo gets knocked down anyway from the new Bell Horn and claims the new variation to be a shock. Afterwards, Kamogawa, Yagi, and Shinoda discusses Aoki and Kimura's next matches, and how Aoki is motivated, while they should trust Kimura to do the same. Kamogawa hopes that their matches will spur Ippo and Itagaki on for their come-back matches. On the day of the matches, Aoki and Kimura walk to the Kōrakuen Hall. Kimura notes how they have been doing a lot of come-back matches. Aoki claims it will be the last time because he is only going to win from now on. Aoki asks if Kimura is okay, noticing his face looks like he failed weight control. Kimura claims he will be okay. Takamura approaches the group and comments how there is something wrong with someone's face. Kimura thinks he is talking about him, however, Takamura was talking about Tomiko because he thinks she put on too much makeup.
