Summary[]
Umezawa tells the emotionally distraught Ippo to forget about Taihei. Ippo looks at his coach's old mitts as he reminisces the times he spent with Taihei. Ippo cradles the mitts as he gets up and walks over to Taihei. Taihei is surprised as he sees Ippo's face distort in anger, with his arm outstretched. Ippo strikes Taihei in the face with an opened hand. Umezawa looks to see if he's alive and tells the other juvenile delinquent to watch over Taihei until he gets up and to get the ambulance if something happens. Ippo is in shock as to what he has done as Umezawa carries him to the Iwata's Chinese Noodles. Ippo, Umezawa, and Teru eats ramen, as Aoki tries to comfort Ippo, suggesting to forget about the situation, as he didn't hit Taihei with a closed fist and only fainted. Ippo states that it might be a last meal, as he doesn't remember what happened or how he hit him. Ippo announces he will turn himself in, as he is a former Japanese champion who lashed out on a high school student.
