Details
- Title Page Character(s): Tatsuya Kimura, Ippo Makunouchi
Summary
Itagaki mentions how the Dragonfish Blow barrage was like the Dempsey Roll in that it drained all the energy Kimura had, which is the reason why everyone does not copy the technique. An exhausted Kimura goes back to his corner where Ippo wonders what he can do for him. As Shinoda advises to give him water as he is dehydrated and to rub his legs to prevent cramps, Yagi reminds Ippo that forfeiting is an option. Thinking of what Kamogawa would do, Ippo decides to let the match continue, proceeding to put ice down Kimura's boxing trunks to reinvigorate him and, with the combined efforts of Shinoda and Yagi, uses the "Revival Ritual" passed down directly from Kamogawa. Light comes back into Kimura's eyes and Ippo encourages him to just hit him one more time to knock him down. Shinoda mistakenly instructs Kimura to use his Fish Dragon Blow as the second round begins. Knowing that Junpei is in a similar state as him, Kimura wonders if he can even land one blow. Ippo mentions to Shinoda that the revival method is merely giving hope, however, he was once saved by that hope. Ippo then tells Shinoda that for Kimura's one hit, he should aim for the liver. Not wanting Kimura to recover, Junpei rushes towards him while Shinoda yells out to use the "Fish Dragon".
Trivia
- In the chapter, Ippo Makunouchi used two methods he got from Genji Kamogawa to help Tatsuya Kimura:
- Kamogawa previously poured ice down Ippo's trunks in Round 47 during Ippo's match against Kenta Kobashi.
- Kamogawa first used the "Revival Ritual" in Round 21 during Ippo's match against Yūsuke Oda, where it stopped Ippo's cut from bleeding.
