Details

• Title Page Character(s): Ryō Mashiba, Tōhō Coach, Tōhō Manager

Summary

When Mashiba goes to his corner, the Tōhō coach scolds him for not following their plan and instead pressed forward. However, upon looking at Mashiba's expression, the coach realises that he has determined that this isn't an opponent who the plan will work against. The coach warns for Mashiba that exchanging punches is Rosario's turf, so he believes he will kick up another gear, so he instructs him to dodge only if it is a direct hit, to not step in too close, and to not let his focus lapse for a second. Mashiba stands up, claiming that he will tear the champion belt off of Rosario. At Rosario's corner, while Rosario tells Mr. Bin that he does not care about points, Mr. Bin warns that this is an away match, and it may come down to a decision. Rosario stands up, deeming it unfair. As the second round begins, Aoki believes that Rosario will gladly have another exchange match, however, Itagaki points out that Rosario is keeping his distance. Sendō wonders if Rosario is being cautious now. Miyata claims that Mashiba's range is longer than Rosario expected, so he might not have a choice but to be more hesitant.
