This is a strictly non-Squid Game comparison review. Ok, before you start saying “Who cares”, or “Who asked?”, let’s get into the review.
For a series
that is supposedly about friendship, the friendship concepts were tackled a bit superficially, and it
became more of a series about Katagiri Yuuichi’s wit and him being a scumbag to solve problems. I expected a bit more characterization overall, and it really does feel we’re just scratching the surface of this series. However, . the plot twists and Yuuichi’s character were definitely fun to watch, and one of the more enjoyable series of this anime season, but a bit edgy for sure.

Ippo then mentioned to Itagaki how he noticed that Alfredo's long jabs and left uppercuts are similar to Ricardo's. While
training on his weaving to go
against Alfredo's longer jabs, Kamogawa introduced to him a new method of training with a glove on a stick that can extend, shrink, and bend. Ippo met Alfredo at the weigh-in and gave his comment to the reporters that he sees himself as the challenger and wants to use his training and experience to see how effective he can fight at world level. The next day, Ippo asked his mother that if he wins the match and fights in a world title match next time, if she would come watch him, to which she answered that she would think about it. Ippo went to the Kōrakuen Hall for his match against Alfredo. With Itagaki's title match before his match, Ippo watched his match against Imai where Itagaki lost and Imai became the new JBC featherweight champion. Ippo and Alfredo in-fighting. After focusing with Kamogawa, Ippo got to the ring and the match begins. After getting surprised by Alfredo's lefts that appear longer than he thought, he chose to go forward and use his usual pace, using head slips and the Peek-a-Boo style to close in. Alfredo had successful attempts to counter the strategy by using uppercuts, however, Ippo was able to dodge and throw a body blow which gets blocked at the end of the round one. In the second round, Ippo got Alfredo to the ropes after dodging his lefts and throwing body blows that get blocked.
