Summary
The audience jeers at Rosario as he purposely steps on Mashiba's foot again. Sawamura notes that while Rosario seems to just be a regular dirty fighter, he is also throwing a legitimate punch whenever he fouls. Mashiba is annoyed by the fact that if he gets too close, Rosario headbutts him, if he tries to get away, Rosario steps on his foot, planning to destroy him once his cut stops bleeding. As Mashiba starts backing away, Rosario steps on his foot once again, this time Rosario lands a left straight on Mashiba's face, however, it wasn't a direct hit. The audience jeers at Rosario again for the obvious foul that steals the pace. Mashiba starts having evil thoughts again about how it is unforgivable what Rosario is doing when he worked so hard to get where he is. Ippo tells everyone in the audience that they must cheer for Mashiba, feeling that he needs to hear them. As the audience does a Mashiba chant, Mashiba goes towards Rosario while thinking about how he needed his evil thoughts to mask his own fears, to show off to everyone, to support himself, and when he was weak, thanking the source of his evil thoughts while also telling it to not come back around him anymore.
