After receiving an invitation to a class reunion from Umezawa, Ippo went to the reunion at the Kemuri Izakaya to see his former classmates from seven years ago. Upon entering, Ippo was recognised as the class hero and the Japanese champion. Ippo met Aikawa while there, and was surprised to hear she watched him fight, but as ashamed to find out she watched the only three fights he lost in. After the party, Ippo walked Aikawa home. As they walked, Aikawa expressed her love to Ippo and wished to see Ippo win a match. Though Ippo reminded her that he retired, she asked if he had a reason to return, would he come back, however, Ippo had no answer. Ippo was handed a note with her number and email address before she left. Ippo reflected on how he really hasn't changed at all despite wanting to be reborn when he became a boxer, and knew that he hasn't found his answer yet on how it feels to be strong. Later, with the Date gym gym hosting a sparring tournament for new boxers that haven't had a pro debut yet, Ippo took Taihei and Kintarō there for them to spar. There, Ippo met Date, Okita, Kobashi, and Oda who also are trainers seeking to let their students partake in the tournament. After Taihei and Kintarō easily lost, Fujii entered the gym and revealed that Sendō downed Ricardo in Mexico and that Sendō and Alfredo would be fighting in three months, with the winner earning the right to challenge for the world title.
