Who On Earth Am I... is Round 1260 of Jōji Morikawa's Hajime no Ippo manga series.
Details[]
- Title Page Character(s): Ryō Mashiba, Tōhō Coach
Summary[]
Mashiba realises Iga's intentions and how he is using strategies that his previous opponents used. The referee warns Mashiba and his coach to keep the rest of the match clean, as there were fouls in the last round. This angered the Tōhō coach as it was the other corner committing the fouls, however Mashiba notes his previous offences, which is why they would suspect him first. Baron informs Iga of Mashiba's lightened fuse, and tells him to anger him more in order to create openings. As the third round is about to begin, the Tōhō coach tells Mashiba to box properly like a champion would. This makes Mashiba remember his past when people did not trust him and he believed he was alone. Mashiba then announces to his coach that he will teach Iga a proper lesson, wanting to make Iga regret fouling on him and show him who he really is. With a massive amount of fans cheering for Mashiba, round three begins with Iga going towards Mashiba with the Peek-a-Boo Style. Mashiba gets angry as he imagines Ippo, Kimura, and Sawamura appearing behind Iga. However, Mashiba calms down and enters the Hitman Style.
