Summary
Walking outside, Takamura is glad that Aoki and Kimura aren't hurt too badly and thinks that they should retie this time since if they keep boxing out of pure stubbornness, boxing is going to ruin their lives. Takamura believes that even if he is the last one left at the Kamogawa gym, he will dominate six weight classes no matter what. At the Kawai Hospital, Aoki claims that he made his decision already and told Tomiko. He reveals that he will retire. Kimura states that he will retire too then. Aoki and Kimura argue about them retiring until Ippo asks them what they are going to do. Aoki reveals that he will fight Iga again, and that thanks to Takamura and Ippo fixing his critical flaw of him closing his eyes when he punch comes at him, he was able to see how Iga was manipulating him to a stop where he couldn't connect his punches but Iga could connect his. Aoki claims that he finally has someone to chase after like a goal, and is sure that Iga will be the lightweight champion one day, so he will fight him and not retire until he does. Kimura also decides to stay for another chance at the title. At the Kamogawa gym, Aoki and Kimura informs Takamura that they will continue, however, Takamura suggests for them that they should seriously think about retiring.
