Summary[]
Nekota and Kamogawa continue to fight, drawing attention while on the beach. The fight ends with each of complaining about nothing good happens when they are together. Kamogawa starts to head back, and Nekota wants to challenge Kamogawa again sometime since they haven't settled things yet, if he is ever reborn. Kamogawa disagrees, since he believes they only live once. He feels that if you believe in reincarnation, you might hold back if you think you'll get another chance, you could slack off. He wants to lay down to rest inside his coffin, where he wants to clinch his fist with pride certain that he lived the best life he could. Nekota since it is like that, he should let Ippo live his life like that. Kamogawa mentions when summer is over, and he see Ippo, if he shows any signs of being Punch Drunk at all, he will do everything in his power to force him to retire. Nekota agrees since he doesn't believe Ippo is Punch Drunk. As Kamogawa leaves, Nekota realises that Kamogawa's pasted down everything he has to Takamura and Ippo. Ippo's trying to train, but Itagaki stops him because Kamogawa told him to since banning Ippo from Kamogawa gym has no point. Ippo complains that he can't even do roadwork. Itagaki mentions he can't go hard at things like he did in the past. Ippo asks Itagaki thinks he is Punch Drunk, but Itagaki doesn't think so since he see Ippo at work every day carrying all the weight around with out stumbling, but think Ippo might have some built up damage on him. Ippo mentions that he goes down easier after he gets hit, and he feels like jabs are harder to dodge. Itagaki wonders if Ippo's sense of range got all distorted. If Ippo continues to spar during times like that, he might become Punch Drunk, where maybe taking time off is best for him. Ippo wonders how things are at the gym, but Itagaki tells him he has only been gone a week. Ippo's jealous and wants to show Kamogawa the new Dempsey Roll before the end of summer.
