Summary[]
The three potential recruits are impressed with Ippo's hard training to obtain his new technique. Kamogawa continues to supervise Ippo's training. Aoki, Kimura and Itagaki commend Ippo, and believe he has indeed made a progress. However, Kamogawa continues to be very strict with Ippo and does not praise him at all, since he still finds faults in Ippo's movements. As a consequence, the three recruits hear out that Kamogawa is always that strict and they become depressed. One of them says that they're like monsters compared to them. Finally, the recruits ran off, much to Yagi's chagrin. Yagi thinks it was going to be a bad day until he sees Ippo mitt practice with Kamogawa. The three who left the gym start having second thoughts of giving up, and decides to run back to the Kamogawa gym to join. However, one of them bumps into someone and tells the person to apologise. The three get scared when the person turns out to be Takamura, who wishes to be taught how to apologise. Takamura chases the three as they ran.
