Summary

Ippo struggles to say what he wants to Kumi. When he finally does, she was already asleep, as he took forever, but Ippo is proud he said it at all. At the beach, Aoki wants to seek revenge on Takamura because he groped Tomiko's breasts. So he has Ippo catch him a sea slater to put on a okonomiyaki to feed Takamura with. They then go to the training camp's gym, there they see Itagaki and Kimura sparring. After they quit sparring and Kamogawa and Yagi leave, Ippo and Aoki gets spotted peaking through the window. Takamura tries to praise Aoki, but his 'praise' just made Aoki more angry. Aoki then gives Takamura the okonomiyaki, Takamura then insists on splitting it. Aoki tries to find out which half has the sea slater in it, but Takamura shoves it in both of their mouths. Itagaki then asks to spar with Ippo, asking if it is alright to not hold back.
