Summary
Kumi notices Mashiba has been sitting next to the phone he took off the hook, wondering if he was waiting for someone to call him. Mashiba claims that he wasn't as he grabs his luggage and leaves the house after telling her that he will become the world champion and come back home. Stepping outside, Mashiba notices Ippo waiting for him with a sign for encouraging him. Ippo declares that he believes that Mashiba will become the world champion and will cheer for him with everything has has. Mashiba asks Ippo if he really has been standing there all morning just to tell him that, which Ippo confirms. As Kumi steps outside and tells Ippo that she will get ready, Ippo tells Mashiba that he really did wait for him, but he also promised to go to the Yokohama Arena with her as well to watch his match. Mashiba walks away while claiming that he still doesn't accept him before raising his right fist in the air. At the Yokohama Arena, the crowd outside notice the "Judgement Day" tagline, noting that neither boxers are innocent as they have done bad things before, wondering who will receive judgement. Inside the venue, as the audience watches an undercard, Sendō tells Miyata how he is surprised how packed the place is, as he didn't think Mashiba was so popular.
