At the Namba Saiichi Hospital, Sendō is told by his former teacher to go home and prepare himself for the match, believing that his grandmother would've said the same thing. At the Seagail Royal Hotel, Bill tells his staff that everything will go how it usually goes with Ricardo. However, Nargo points out how Sendō is a dangerous boxer and believes he has most destructive power in all of the featherweight class. While some of the staff argue about Nargo's opinion, Bill tells them that Nargo has fought both boxers, he believes that Nargo is right. Some of the staff remembers Sendō downing Ricardo during their spar, but thinks that that was an accident. Bill reveals to them that it wasn't an accident, but an incident, and is why Ricardo picked Sendō in the first place. He adds that while Ricardo believed that he dodge Sendō's punch, Sendō managed to graze Ricardo's cheek by a few centimetres, though Sendō broke his pinky bone in the process. He further adds that with Sendō being the most absurd boxer in the world, Ricardo took interest in him. Nargo claims that Sendō's wildness means that he will do anything to put his opponent down. Bill states how Ricardo's match against Wally was a countermeasure against Sendō's wildness, and, since the simulations are complete, he is running through the match from start to finish in his mind. Sitting by himself, Ricardo is surprised that for the first time he is unable to see what someone will do when the gong sounds to start the match in his head, thinking that Sendō is exciting.
