Summary
As the weigh-in has arrived, Mashiba and Sawamura goes to the Kōrakuen Hall. Neither boxers make eye contact, however, after Sawamura expresses his dislike of the venue since it was the place where Ippo sent him to the hospital, Mashiba tells him that Ippo must have slacked off, since he only sent him to the hospital, which is weak, declaring that he will send Sawamura to the graveyard. Sawamura replies that he is thinking the same. As Fujii and Mari leave the venue, they notice how the two boxers never looked at each other, and that they never attended a tense weigh-in like that one before, seeing it like the calm before the storm. Leaving the Pension Yoshio, Nekota and Takamura travel on foot during a harsh snowstorm and ends up falling off the edge of a cliff that broke off. On the night of the match, Ippo, Aoki, Kimura, and Itagaki meet at the Kōrakuen Hall. Itagaki makes the three practice a Mashiba chant with him to help him win.
