| that was unperdictable that she was his brother |
 |
| The only reason I had figured out that she was his sister was because it said her name as Mashiba in the credits. It was interesting to see him at home. He seemed like he was mostly putting up the same front there as he does in and around the ring. I almost expected him to be a nice softy at home with his sister. |
| I didn't know Mashiba had it things going for him like that, but I still hope Ippo buries that fool. |
| So we get a tragic hero + a tragic zombie? Even so, I still don't like his character, so I'll the hoping Ippo wins! ^_^ (he's the main character and it's an important competition and there's the revenge for the "promise" thing so of course he'll win xD) |
| I knew she was someone sister, but couldn't see that she'll be Mashiba's D: Anyway, sure he has a rough background but still want Ippo to beat the crap out of him. |
 |
| That's a good twist, Ippo has a crush on his rival's sister. They really don't look alike, I guess she must pluck her eyebrows a lot! lol |
| Mashiba has a sister lol |

| I was figuring her for Miyata's sister, but I should have realized at the same time that I realized that Mashiba would beat Miyata that she had to be Mashiba's sister. |
| I had a slight inkling that Mashiba may be related to her but having it revealed just like that was pretty shocking =O Ippo is probably torn inside as to what to do despite his brave front. |
| Haha, poor Ippo, the tragic hero. x] |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| Oh no you don't... I'm not falling for that... morality pet or no morality pet, wangst or no wangst, he is still a bastard and he still needs to get pulverized... I hope Ippo doesn't forget that... |
| Wtf? How the hell could she be related to that scumbag? I totally thought it was Miyata's sister. |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
| I love it when they gather around reviewing passed fights and brain storming on techniques and strategies which livens the show hehe.. but the most surprising part was the tragic hero.. damn that was a shocker.. i felt really sad for Ippo.. hopefully he can win the heart of that cute chick :-/ |
   |
| ^^ |
| So I guess Mashiba isn't a douche. but then why did he want to kill Miyata? |
| ^ No, he's still a jerk. I'm sorry, but I'm totally not buying the whole "tough background" excuse. Lots of people have hard lives but still choose not to break the law, cheat, and purposely harm other people. Ippo needs to crush him, I have no sympathy |
 |
| Mashiba's bg story is kinda sad but I'm still rooting for Ippo |
 |
| Well, I was close. I thought it was Miyata's sister. I was half right. |
| Now I feel bad for all I writted :( But the scene where they were laughing at Ippo was hilarious, I couldn't stop laughing! xD |

| Good thinking, Ippo. Friendship >>>>>>>>>>>> Love (dumb girl) Being with Mashiba's sister will just make you more dumb |

| Great twist. |
| Oh man that last part was hilarious! But damn that sure is a nice character twist, interesting and well I do wonder what Ippo will do now, I did not expect such relation development to be honest! Let's see what's next though. |
 |
| I didn't expect that, I thought the girl would be Miyata's sister just like everyone did! I loved how they elaborated more on Myshima's background, absorbing my huge hate towards him. I won't say I like him now but I hate him less, maybe feel sorry for him. Thank you Takamura and team for adding laughs on heavy episodes XD |

 |
| This girl's seiyuu has some really good hentai potential tbf. |
 |
| xD Of all the girls he could have fallen for, he has a crush on his scariest enemy. |
 |
| Good twist, making Mashiba more sympathetic. I don't know if there even will be romance in this series. |
 |
| What a shocker. I really thought that the girl will be Miyata's GF or little sister. Was suprised to know that she was Mashiba's sister. Anyway, I really like Takamura and his gang. They always make fun of Ippo. |
| The twist was well placed, nice to see more motivation behind Ryo's actions. He's the Kevin Owens of this show. Not really a nice guy, but cynical because he has to be in order to provide for him and his sister. |
 I REMEMBER TOUCH. PICTURES CAME WITH TOUCH. A PAINTER IN MY MIND. |

| What a twist I who would have thought she was his sister, amazing their sorrowful past makes it even better. |
| Ippo dissed her brother. Now he's definitely not gonna get laid. Poor kid. |
   |
| They are a bit late with the tragic backstory. After this guy has been made out to be the freaking devil incarnate, I really can't empathise with him. Go, Ippo! I liked the teasing of the others in this episode. I think this might be going a bit too far if this was real life, even as a joke between friends, but it's hilarious nonetheless! Will Ippo ever learn to stop giving them reasons to tease him? Probably not. But that's why we love him! :P I am hyped for the fight! And also interested to see whether the imouto love story will still be a thing after the results of the match. |
| Lmao. No wonder she ain't cute. She's related to Mashiba xD I thought she was Miyata's lil sis and got the short end of the stick with them genes, but she was actually LUCKY bc she could've looked like Mashiba-- right up Aoki's alley tho lmfao *barf* Idc about their sob sibling story. You reap what you sow and cheaters never prosper, so BYE BETCHESSSSSSS. |
| "Like I'd lose to that guy" Ah I see.. He just said a famous word before they lost That was like the worst, to fall in love with Mashiba's lil sis xD Oh Ippo.. that was like that last time, you go to seek "advice" to Takamura and said similar thing :P I guess Mashiba's heart has been broken for too many times I feel bad for lil sis though.. seems like Mashiba too worried about society and money, he forgot to look at his sis' worried face |
"Signature removed"   |
| Never expected bakery girl to be Mashima's sister. "why does everyone see my brother as villain" Just maybe, hypothetical speaking, he stepped on his opponents feet full intentional and went full ballistic on him in a match where the opponent almost won, just maybe... |
 |
| I was expecting she to be Mashiba sister but I can't understand how they’re so different xD. Jokes aside, despite anything, I still can’t like him, but everything can change. |
 |
| I still hate mashiba |
| "The future is always blank. Only your willpower can leave footsteps there." "Ruling over death means ruling over life. Death is the climax of life. To have the best death, you must honor life." |
| I'll have to say that the last thing I'd expect was for a cutie like her to actually be Mashiba's little sister. It'll definitely bring up an inner conflict on whether he should destroy the man who unfairly crushed his best friend's dreams or not but at least she's become the one thing that'll stand between Ippo and him being a monster. Being desperate enough to want to win in order to support your little sister to the point of most likely cheating to get there is still scummy even if you do have an admittedly sad background. Miyata has aspirations and a cause to live for too, you know. While his cheating can't be justified, other people's treatment towards him at work aren't justified either. |
