Summary
As Ricardo and his team gets ready to leave the Kansai International Airport, one of the team members comment how the heavy rain that occurred in Japan has cleared upon the Quetzalcōātl's arrival. Ricardo notes that it is just a coincidence since he can't control the weather, however, he adds that what he can control is what happens in the ring. Mari approaches Ricardo and his team, greeting them in Spanish. Bill introduces Mari to the team and he tells her that speaking English is fine with Ricardo and him. Mari recognises Nargo among Ricardo's team of twenty members, wondering if he is one of the sparring partners. Bill requests for Mari to explain the roadwork routes on the way to the hotel as they want to drop off their luggage and head straight for a gym. Mari is surprised by how serious they are about the upcoming match, remembering how different the other world champion was about preparing.
That night, at the Makunouchi Fishing Boat, Ippo gets a call from Kumi, who reveals to him that Mashiba regained consciousness and is responsive, relieving Ippo. Ippo wants to see him, but Kumi claims that he is still in ICU so it is family visitor only and he still can't talk yet. She states that she will call him once Mashiba is in a state to be seen, asking when he may not be available. Ippo claims that he will be away from Tokyo for about two days since he is going to Osaka for Sendō's world title match. Kumi hangs up as both her and Ippo become depressed.
The next day, Ricardo does a 3.5km/2.17mi roadwork route provided by Mari, amazed at the scenery, but remembers to not run too long due to the harsh Summers in Japan. Ricardo is shocked as he passes by Sendō, who is taking the same roadwork route. Both boxers stop running, and Sendō approaches Ricardo, glaring at him while cracking his knuckles. Ricardo tries to talk to him, but Sendō doesn't know Spanish. Sendō decides to do his roadwork elsewhere, but comments that since he now has a reason he must win, he tells Ricardo that the next time they meet, it will be a life or death battle.
