Details[]

Summary[]

The training mitt hits the Statue of Takamura, making the left arm fall off. Ippo and Sendō then discovers the head fell off as well when Ippo trips over it while running to reattach the arm. As the two makes a ruckus, the gym members come to the rooftop. They manage to reattach the arm, however the head is unable to stay on. They decide to temporarily fix it with glue as Aoki holds it in place, with Aoki permanently fixing it with cement the next day. Sendō and Hoshi begin to leave for Osaka until Ippo stops him to ask if he was to any help.

While Sendō told him he heard something good from him, Kimura comments about Sendō scoring a down on Ricardo. Sendō mentions that while the only valuable thing to him was getting a match with Alfredo, he felt ecstatic seeing Ricardo on his knees, noting that he didn't land a hit on him and that if Alfredo is similar to Ricardo, he will surely land another shot on him if he defeats Alfredo. As Sendō leaves, he tells Ippo that it is a waste not wearing gloves with him wearing the weights. Kimura comments how Sendō has not changed from the Rookie King days, with Itagaki noticing Sendō left his bag, similar to a previous occurrence when he left for Osaka back then. Later, while out fishing with Ippo, Kumi asks Ippo about his encounter with Sendō.

Ippo notes how Sendō has not changed, making him jealous as Ippo thought he changed since retiring, however others at the class reunion told him he has not changed at all. Ippo then tells Kumi about his encounter with Aikawa, resulting in Kumi getting jealous until she hears that Ippo dropped the paper Aikawa gave him that had her number. Ippo claims to not care if he changed or not, but still has more to learn and enjoys spending time with Kumi, Taihei, and Kintarō. In Osaka, Sendō receives his bag from Ippo by delivery, with a note that says Ippo believes Sendō will be victorious and that when he watches boxers fight, his heart moves but ultimately he feels as if the peaceful days are also great. Sendō concludes that he will be moving forward for now.
