Summary[]
Ippo is out fishing, thinking of Aoki, Itagaki and Kimura's last match. Kumi helps Ippo fish to let Ippo focus on studying. While Kumi is becoming better at fishing, Ippo claims he's not getting better at being a second, despite all three matches being wins. Kumi asks Ippo if going to the Kōrakuen Hall and seeing matches stirs something in him, Ippo claims it doesn't. Ippo then says he saw Miyata's match two days ago, which scares Kumi, as she hears Miyata's name from both Ippo and her brother all the time and doesn't want Ippo drawn into boxing because of him. She is then relieved when Ippo states when he saw the match he became just another cheering fan rather than cheering and analysing him in case of a match. Then he states that when he heard Imai wanting to have a match with Miyata, Ippo claims to have felt nothing unlike before when he would feel his chest clinching. Elsewhere, at the Márquez, the manager argues with Miyata about the stray cat flyer on the window how no one will claim it. When she asks Miyata to keep the cat, he states that his apartment building doesn't allow pets. Then, Aoki and Tomiko arrive at the parking lot of the store.
