- Title Page Character(s): Takuzō Karasawa
Summary
Karasawa is unable to find Itagaki in the ring. Suddenly Karasawa blocks an attack from Itagaki, who then seemingly teleports away by the time Karasawa throws a jab. Itagaki stops, and enters a focused state of mind. Itagaki feints by jerking his body to the left and right, making Karasawa wonder which way Itagaki will come from. Itagaki suddenly appears behind Karasawa. Itagaki hits Karasawa's block once before retreating. Itagaki is irritated that he can't land a hit due to Karasawa's tight guard, and he can't use his right that would be able to break the guard due to it hurting. Kamogawa asks Shinoda if he knew this would happen with Itagaki. Shinoda claims that this is what he hoped would happen. Shinoda explains that during training, Itagaki tried to win through sheer brute strength by using overwhelming force, and thinks that it was probably because he was feeling like he needed to prove that he was a real class A boxer. Shinoda adds that that is not Itagaki's style, as his true strength only manifests when he's relaxed and focuses his concentration to its upper limits. Itagaki focuses on trying to find a hole in Karasawa's guard, and when he finds one, he dashes towards Karasawa.
