Summary[]
Takamura goes to the bathroom and encounters the man that was cheering for Kimura. Takamura quickly notices that the man isn't just any guy as he reeks of danger. Takamura asks who the man is. The man recalls Takamura's record and claims that it would be impudent to give his name to someone of his calibre. The man claims that he isn't anyone important, but some people call him Death (死ぬ, Shinu) before telling him that it is said backwards: "Lord (Nushi)." As Lord leaves, Takamura gets angry as he didn't flush the toilet. As Aoki's match is about to begin, Aoki arrives to the ring. Takamura goes back to the audience area with Ippo and Itagaki and wonders why there is so much interest in an Aoki match. Ippo explains that it is because Aoki is going to use the new Frog Punch called the "Bell Horn". When Aoki's match begins, both boxers circle around each other slowly without attacking. Takamura wonders what the Bell Horn is, doubting that it is impressive. Itagaki claims that it knocked down Ippo, something Takamura couldn't believe. Itagaki explains what kind of animal the bell horn frog is, making Takamura think it is like a trap. Ippo notes that it is a frog that doesn't jump. Suddenly, Aoki squats down.
