Details
- Title Page Character(s): Ippo Makunouchi, Kumi Mashiba, Taihei Aoki, Kintarō Kaneda, Wanpo
Summary
While Ippo talks with Kumi, Itagaki, Taihei, and Kintarō, he mentions how his visit in Mexico left him heated up to the point where he couldn't stand it anymore and had to get it handled when he came back to Japan. Kumi claims she would have handled it for him, creating a misunderstanding. Kumi explains she means that since Mexican food can be very spicy, she would cook Ippo some light Japanese food. Itagaki thinks Ippo means that the boxing there got him heated up, and Taihei and Kintarō adds that he must have thought he wanted to fight too. Kumi glares at the three, which Itagaki explains to Taihei and Kintarō that Kumi gets irritated when someone talks like that. Ippo gives everyone masks he got from Mexico, and gives Kumi a mask for her brother so they can have matching masks. Ippo, Kumi, Itagaki, Taihei, and Kintarō goes to the Makunouchi Fishing Boat to eat the dinner Hiroko made. At the Kamogawa gym, Takamura is in the ring in his underwear while wearing a mask from Ippo backwards. Takamura tells Aoki and Kimura to wear the masks Ippo got them and get into the ring, as he wants to train them on their wildness since they must have seen that wildness is important after watching the match between Wally and Ricardo. Aoki and Kimura gets into the ring while wearing their masks backwards. Takamura tells them to fight with the fear of not seeing to polish their wildness, to not think, but feel, and when they feel, punch. Aoki and Kimura remember that their reason of starting boxing was to land a punch on Takamura's face, feeling like it is a once-in-a-lifetime chance now. Aoki and Kimura plans to come at Takamura by relying on his sound since he is heavier than them, and they know that he is right in front of them. Takamura tells them to spin in a circle ten times. After all three spin, the training begins.
