Summary
After realising that Randy Boy Junior is the son of Randy Boy Senior, who destroyed Miyata's father's career, Yagi explains to the gym members about how he was good with both hands and how he won against Miyata's father, who was defending his OPBF featherweight title for the seventh time. Yagi notes how Miyata's father had the point lead in the final round, but was knocked out after Randy switched from southpaw to orthodox style, and Miyata was there watching and cried out for him. As the gym members wonder if Miyata can win, Yagi mentions how Miyata's father was defeated when there was no information about Randy, but now they have information, so nothing unexpected will happen. Later, Miyata has a dream about meeting his younger self, who asks his older self if his dream came true yet. Miyata tells his younger self that he has gotten through a lot of trouble because of his dream, revealing that he is still in the middle of his dream. Miyata gets asked about his mother's whereabouts, however, Miyata informs him that he hasn't seen her since the note she left. As his younger self becomes sad that he will still be alone in the future, Miyata reassures him that he can still become strong despite being alone, and that he will become world champion. He is told by his younger self that it is a promise, wanting his older self to keep the promise of becoming the world champion to prove that his father's boxing is not a fluke. As his younger self ran away, Miyata wakes up.
