Summary
With only one week remaining for the All Japan Rookie King Tournament, Aoki and Kimura request to watch Sendō's fight videos in order to spar correctly with Ippo. Watching the video, they note how similar Sendō's fighting style is to Ippo's in almost every aspect (including their weak guard). Ippo begins his training routine, with Aoki and Kimura noting the increase of muscle volume in Ippo's arms. Sendō, while doing roadwork, encounters a group of kids he had promised to buy video game consoles after winning the West Japan Rookie King Tournament, instead, he gives them tickets to the All Japan Rookie King Tournament so they can watch his fight with Ippo. He continues his road work as he is greeted and encouraged by everyone who sees him. Two days before the match, all of the Kamogawa gym, boards the train to Osaka.
