Summary[]
Mashiba dodges the Dragonfish Blow by ducking. However, Iga headbutts Mashiba on purpose while recovering from the missed attack and begins to hit Mashiba with his elbows while swinging for a punch. Aoki and Kimura realise that Iga is exploiting the three things from the three opponents that gave him the most trouble and mixed them into his own fighting style. Elsewhere, Takamura took Lord to the Kemuri Izakaya so the latter could eat and drink. Takamura comments about Mashiba and Iga's match and how Mashiba may snap and get disqualified if he were to get hit by headbutts and elbows. At Kōrakuen Hall, Mashiba is clinched by Iga, who headbutts him multiple times until they are separated. An angered Mashiba throws Flicker Jabs while Iga gets close to Mashiba by using the Peek-a-Boo Style. At range, Iga throws a Dragonfish Blow and clinches when missed while headbutting. When the two are broken from the clinch, the second round ends, with Mashiba shaking with anger.
