After saying
that he would become a legend and win for the people cheering, he asked why Ippo demoted himself as a "support role" and why he won't return to the ring. Ippo replied he simply has no reason to. Kimura asked if Ippo is okay
with being a "support role", however Ippo never thought of what Kamogawa did as a being a "support role". At home, Ippo had a conversation with his mother how he believed that becoming second, walking next to Kamogawa and training boxers would remove the bad taste he left Kamogawa when leaving. Ippo
continued being a second, helping Aoki win his match. Itagaki then had his match with Ippo as his second, hoping to get praised, but by the end of the
first round, Ippo criticised him. Ippo continued to criticise him throughout the match until he won by decision. Acknowledging that being a second was hard, Ippo decided to scout someone for the gym. Ippo then passed by the riverbank and saw a group of bullies picking on a kid. In response, he went down in an attempt to stop them. Ippo performs a dogeza.
