Fantastic episode. Joe as he said himself had little to no motivitation to fight Leon but once he got teh news about Jose vs Gomez, and Jose's message to him he got enthusiastic about it.

Obvious 5/5. The animation is just out of this world.

And the series has done it again... this relationship between Joe and Jose is becoming pretty interesting.

Joe will do anything just to get his hands on Jose :P but this Leon guy is very obnoxious and plain annoying...hopefully Joe will kick his ass in the next ep.

From all of Joes opponents Leon is easily the least likeable.

Well, what a sudden turn of events, it's pretty good. The guy fights dirty, in return Joe will fight him dirty too, and that's how it's supposed to be I believe. Very nice to see older OSTs return, heats up the atmosphere.

It's episodes like these where Joe feels more mature than when he started. He internalizes his problems rather than violently venting, he recognizes his own issues, he gives thanks when people try to help him, and he respects those that show him respect. He's willing to put in hard work, as well as to take time and study his opponents. His biggest problem, as far as boxing is concerned, is that he needs to stay motivated by a strong rival who recognizes his talents. Otherwise, he loses interest and slacks off.

Just as the match started, there was a snippet of a familiar song, Finger Dancin' by Masayoshi Takanaka. It was released the year of the series and it, along with other songs of his, was also heard in Urusei Yatsura and Maison Ikkoku. Funnily enough, a couple of months ago the Youtube algorithm started suggesting his 70s albums to people who had listened to certain type of jazz. I don't know how well known he was or is, but his instrumentals seem to have left their mark on some high profile anime of the time.

earlier posters were calling Leon cocky ,, but is it not cocky of Joe to look past his opponent and hap-hazardly train ?


they say Leon is the most obnoxious , but he views himself as a king and carries himself as such


that's what makes Jose so commendable . So far he's the only one who carries himself with complete class , even Joe the MC is a loose cannon

Yabuki meet someone who is just like him. Someone who can not control his wild behavior and is arrogant.

But his fighting style is similar to his in terms of no guard defense which he use to unleash a less powerful blow (he did it against Rikiishi). But his punching power is already so strong that it is still deadly body blow.

1. Man the sountrack is so good, especially midnight blues
2. Starting to love the Jose and Joe relationship
3. That eye shot at the end was a little worrying. Joe might have injured his eye for the rest of the match
