Summary

Mr. Bin tells Fujii that Rosario is not part of that organisation anymore and was a candidate for the top ranks early on, but believes that that would have been a bad idea. Mr. Bin explains that while Rosario was a loyal top ranker, but to others, he seemed as if he would betray them, and when someone tipped off the police on the organisation, Rosario was suspected to be the one who did it. While Rosario claimed it wasn't him, he was attacked by members of the organisation as they believed it was him. While doing roadwork, Rosario falls over in exhaustion and notices a vending machine with drinks in it. Rosario gets frustrated when he doesn't have any money to get a drink. Rosario remembers Mashiba passing his weigh-in easily, thinking it is unfair and wanting to make it even by making them just as unhappy. Rosario returns to Mr. Bin after the roadwork and passes the second weight check. At the press conference, the reporters are unable to get anything out of it since Rosario is drinking bottle of water without speaking to them, and Mashiba didn't attend. That night at the Mashiba residence, Kumi gives the phone to Mashiba since Tanaka and the others from the Tanaka Transportation are calling to give encouragement to Mashiba. Mashiba gets a call from Sendō, who mentions how Rosario barely made weight and didn't do enough training. Sendō tells Mashiba that the person next to him wanted to let him know that it wouldn't be good if the one who beat him got hurt badly, and wishes for him to take the belt. After Mashiba tells Sendō to let him rest, they end the call and Sendō gives the phone back to Miyata. Sendō and Miyata argue after the latter claims he didn't say what the former told Mashiba.
