I really like how Aoki and Kimura's fights were a bit longer (thou it's not really a good thing) and that is one awesome punch. I figured it would take him a bit longer to get it right.

lol I thought the same thing. However it's too early in the series (with only 30 episodes left) for that to be a part of this. I'm guessing it's a different tournament? Whatever, I'll get to that eventually so it doesn't matter right now.

Well Takamura said it would be at least another year before their next shot at the tournament, right?
So I'm guessing it's after a decent time skip.

By the way, damn awesome punch.

Poor Aoki and Kimura... It's almost like they are made to fail xD

Anyway, that punch at the end... It look destructive. His only flaw is that there must be a perfect execution and timing or you'll get hit in the face real hard.

sucks aoki and kimura lost...
i feel like it was expected to happen as that would be the best outcome to keep the current pace and prevent the show from becoming

Fixed. (^ω^)

Also, looks like some Cold War era mind games were in play between the two trainers.

Nice to see an episode focused on Aoki and Kimura.

Damn that new technique, seems like that trainer has some techniques left for Ippo.

It would've been cool to see Aoki and Kimura win their respective matches after years of hard work but luck didn't shine upon them that night. I can only imagine how disappointed they were at themselves considering how they had a very hard time resting at the thought of the upcoming fight. The indication that they lost by a sliver definitely made it all the more frustrating.

It's a good thing that they resorted to staying optimistic and instead pinned their momentarily dashed hopes onto their friend. That Gazelle Punch is a killer and it might just be enough to tame the White Wolf!

Takamura teasing with the belt xD

Sad for Kimura and Aoki, being (below)ordinary isn't easy.

It's unfortunate, I expected Kimura to lose to Mashiba but I guess that he's not at that level yet at all. I don't feel too bad about Aoki though, because I'm not a fan of his fighting style.

Aoki and Kimura had a rough match, they both got beat down. Aoki lost in overtime though so his was close enough to win. Good episode, the dirty magazines was a nice show lol
