Summary[]

As Aoki and Kimura start fearing that Ippo is not too far from surpassing them, they begin to train more than ever. Takamura talks to Ippo about Aoki and Kimura's career and how bad it will be if they lose this year. Ippo watches the video recordings of Aoki and Kimura's next opponents and decides to mimic their movements to help Aoki and Kimura on their training. At the day of their matches, Aoki and Kimura do their best, but ultimately, the two lose, leaving Ippo, Aoki and Kimura highly depressed. The next day, Kamogawa meets Ramuda and they have conversation. After the conversation, Kamogawa arrives at the gym very angry, and tells Ippo that he is going to give him a "new weapon" for his next fight. He tells Ippo to strengthen his legs, because he will need gazelle legs to perform his next move. In order to train, Ippo goes to the public pool with the Kamogawa gym members following him. After an entire week of training, Ippo arrives at the gym, where Kamogawa checks his legs and tells him that he is now ready for the new technique. Ippo then follows Kamogawa's instructions for the new move, and, as he punches the sand bag, he sends it flying despite being so far away from the bag.
