Summary
While everyone cheers in celebration of Takamura's victory, Bison and his seconds walk out of the ring as Bison tells his coach that the comment he can give to the press will be that "Mamoru Takamura is Japanese for 'Almighty"". The interviewer begins telling Takamura to give a word to the audience. Takamura argues with her about whether he should say one word or more words, making the audience yell at him to say something already. Takamura gets angry, telling the audience that they can't talk to the king like that, ordering them to bow down before him. The audience starts throwing trash at him and in the ring, jeering at his attitude. Takamura's seconds and gym mates begin running away, with Aoki, Kimura, and Itagaki carrying Takamura. Takamura claims that they are lucky to be carrying the pride of Japan. However, Kamogawa calls him the shame of Japan. As Ippo carries the three world champion belts down the venue's hall, he meets Mashiba and Sendō. Sendō expresses how he wants to try on one of the belts, which causes Mashiba to remark that Ippo should let him do it, since it isn't like Sendō will get one himself. As the the three decide that maybe they should all three try one on, they see Takamura running away, as he doesn't feel like listening to Kamogawa's lecture. Seeing Takamura makes Mashiba and Sendō decline on trying the world title belts on, as they plan to get their own. Ippo sees that those two are even shaken up, thinking that Takamura is way past the line he made, as even when he is hurt he is moving, wondering where he is headed next, and how far he will go.
