At Kamogawa's office, Kamogawa and Yagi had suspicions that Ippo is punch drunk, so they have Ippo try to draw a straight line of a piece of paper. After drawing a straight line, the suspicions were still not cleared. Kamogawa, suspecting Ippo still had cumulative damage, banned Ippo from the gym for one month. Ippo decided to use the time away from the gym to continue his training outside for his New Dempsey Roll, with the goal of coming back to the gym with the technique. While training, Ippo was told not to by Itagaki, as Kamogawa did not want him to. Ippo, not wanting to stop training, was introduced to a new way of training by Mari: weight straps for his wrists and ankles. Ippo was advised by Yamaguchi to move slowly if he can't sit still, which Ippo proceeded to do while wearing his weights. Ippo passes the test after his one month ban from the gym. Ippo went bowling with Kumi and then his gym mates while wearing his weights, using the way he throws the bowling balls as a training method for the New Dempsey Roll while
also doing everything, including eating, slowly.
With the one month ban over, Ippo head toward the gym slowly. When he got there, Kamogawa had Ippo take off his weights and get warmed up.
