Summary
After getting praise from Kamogawa, Ippo celebrates his win by striking a victory pose for his fans before passing out. Ippo is brought to the changing room where Yagi and Kamogawa note that Ippo did just as practised. Kamogawa believes that Ippo used a punch before beginning the Dempsey Roll that was near his ultimate punch. Kamogawa continued, stating that when Ippo relaxed, he let most of his strength leave his shoulders and created the natural ideal motion. Ippo wakes up, saying that he needs to thank his mother for telling him that his father used to look at his opponent's face as a fish since fishermen are not afraid of fish. Aoki, Kimura, and Itagaki try to figure out what fish Ippo thought of while Takamura believes it to be a sea slug. When Ippo steps out of the changing room, he meets Shimabukuro who wants to shake Ippo's hand before he goes back to the island the next day. Shimabukuro claims that he will retire, as it is almost summer, which brings more customers and it is his job to protect the reefs. Shimabukuro tells Ippo that while he is a man who lives by the sea, Ippo should live by the ring. Before leaving, Shimabukuro offers to have a swimming contest if Ippo visits Okinawa and tells Ippo that he was strong.
