Details[]
- Title Page Character(s): Mamoru Takamura, Masaru Aoki, Tatsuya Kimura
Summary[]
At the Kamogawa gym, due to Aoki and Kimura losing their match the day before, Takamura starts mocking them by singing a song to make them realise how bad they messed up, as they could mess up in the upcoming Class A Tournament. Shinoda agrees, wanting them to be reminded for self-reflection. Takamura heads out for his usual trips after a match. Itagaki decides to head out as well to get ready for the Class A Tournament, while Ippo leaves to work on his stamina, as running out of stamina can affect one's spirit, feeling inspired by Miyata when he saw him fight Randy. While doing roadwork, he comes across Kumi. Kumi reminds him that Mashiba's match is coming up as his suspension is almost over and is scared to go watch alone. Ippo claims that he would go since Itagaki has a match before his, suggesting for both of them to cheer the two on. While Kumi is thinking of something else to talk about, she notices cherry blossom petals falling, and thinks that it is beautiful and romantic, wondering what Ippo thinks of them. When she asks what he is thinking about, she becomes flustered as he was thinking about boxing. As she begins to leave, she ends up slipping on a sled near the hillside. Ippo tries to catch her, however, both fall onto the sled, causing the two to be face-to-face. As Ippo was about to kiss her, his head hit the ground as Kumi slid down the hill. Aoki, Kimura, and Itagaki approaches them, thinking they are sliding for fun down the hill.
