Summary[]

At the Makunouchi Fishing Boat, Ippo and Itagaki watches Volg's match against the IBF junior lightweight fourth world ranker, Eric Thompson in Las Vegas on TV, which ends in Volg's victory by knockout. Itagaki shows Ippo the current monthly WBC rankings where he is placed twelfth, implying that Ippo can think about a world title match, however, Ippo explains that a world title match is beyond him. Itagaki argues that Volg, who lost to him, his doing good on the world stage, but Ippo points out how the last time he sparred against him, he got knocked out, and when he sparred against WBA featherweight world champion Ricardo Martínez, he lost consciousness. Itagaki asks if Ippo has ever imagined the world title belt around his waist, but Ippo has not. Ippo states how when he watched Volg's match, he kept thinking how much he envies boxer types, as they can fight from far away and switch to in-fighting if they need to, and they have a lot of options in how they can fight that can lead to victory. As Ippo reminds Itagaki that the East Japan Rookie King Tournament finals against Imai is arriving soon, Itagaki claims that he will win by knockout and end their high school rivalry. At the Kamogawa gym while talking about Itagaki's rivalry with Imai, Takamura comments how Itagaki will lose to him again, and if he wins, Kimura and him will lose their bet and have to pay Ippo. As Aoki is angry at Takamura for feeding him the pickled squid that made him sick and is tired of Takamura's actions, he tries to split the gym into two factions, with Takamura being alone and Aoki and the rest of the gym along with him as Broccoman having the children of Japan on his side. Aoki's side changes from a lot of support to none when Yagi and Shinoda reveals to everyone about how Broccoman's popularity has severely gone down due to recent reports of Aoki leaving the Kōrakuen Hall while covered in faeces. When Aoki wonders how others found out since it was recent, he gets angry and runs away when Takamura implies it was him.
