Summary
Takamura, with the help of Ippo, Aoki, Kimura, and Itagaki, makes himself a parade in a shopping district. However, he becomes upset when no one came to congratulate him on his recent victory, and only got flowers from Kimura's parents. Aoki tries to draw Takamura a crowd by wearing a Broccoman costume, however, Takamura berates Aoki as Broccoman is old news. The neighbourhood kids begin to gather around as they recognise Broccoman. Takamura kicks Aoki off the car, as he got irritated that Aoki was becoming the popular one instead of him. Ippo gets out of the vehicle to help Aoki, however, he was the driver. Not wanting to be in a vehicle that is about to crash, Itagaki, Kimura, and Takamura get out of the vehicle as well. Ippo tells Kumi what happened, which causes her to laugh. When she asks about what happen to Takamura after, Ippo claims his leg is feeling better and he should be getting treated by Yamaguchi by now, as he is about to go on a trip. Kumi mentions how she wishes she could help by giving massages to her brother and Ippo, wondering if she could learn. Ippo decides to take Kumi there to help her learn. At the Yamaguchi Chiropractic, Takamura receives a massage and lies to her about the crowd size of his parade being big. After the massage, Takamura gets thrown outside the window naked after trying to jump on Yamaguchi. Ippo and Kumi were outside the building when it happened, shocked by seeing the naked Takamura run away, claiming he is going to a trip.
