page 1
ippo: for us....
ippo: boxer of destiny ?
page 2
miyata's dad: hm..
ippo: what is it? I feel a great presence...
miyata's dad: He's a south paw!
ippo: ah
ippo thinking: his right hand in front, it makes sense that he has such presence.
ippo says: that's it!
reporter: what is it ippo-kun?
page 3
ippo: what randy's manager was telling me
ippo: really stuck with me....
miyata's dad: manager? you met mr. sakaguchi?
ippo: yes
reporter: what's bothering you?
sakaguchi's face-->ippo saying: He said, "the counter would be useless...."
ippo: i thought there could be no way for that to be true but if the opponent is a south paw it starting to make sense actually.
page 4
ippo: for example a right cross used against a south paw's left. Against a south paw, both the distance and reach are completely different.
ippo: Everything is different from usual. In other words.
ippo: I believe the counter will be difficult to successfully connect.
reporter: Does miyata have any experience against south paw boxers?
Ippo: actually, he has yet to fight one yet.
miyata's dad (twitches): Why the hell are YOU answering that?
reporter: ....yeah I guess connecting a counter may be difficult if he's not used to it.
page 5
miyata's dad thinking: .....is that all there is to it?
miyata: the counter won't work
miyata's dad thinking: ichiro (miyata) said the exact same thing.
reporter: is something wrong miyata-san?
miyata's dad: no....but
miyata's dad: it doesnt mean it's futile. If experience is needed, he can gain that through practice. In today's boxing, anti-south paw tactics have been steadily developing.
miyata's dad: look at this opponent. He knows it well.
ippo thinking: it's a common saying that one should use rights against south paws.
ippo thinking: south paws typically have weak defences on their left sides. Using one's right to go up and down and putting the south paw off-balance is pretty effective.
ippo saying: interesting, he's bothered by it. yes. This is becoming a great learning experence for me.
page 6
miyata's dad: Then you should also remember this.
ippo: huh?
miyata's dad: the opponents been aiming for a while now.
ippo: aiming?
miyata's dad: the opponent is parrying Randy's right jabs. Putting it off-course and holding the pressure down.
miyata's dad: the leading right jabs dont hit. When you get irritated what the next thing you do?
ippo: um..... when your jabs dont connect you feel like doing........
ippo: !
ippo: the straight!!
page 7
ippo: it's a right straight!!
miyata's dad: he's going to counter with his right, watch.
miyata's dad: This is the anti-south paw right cross!!
Perfect timing!!
page 8
*opponent flying right*
page 9
ippo: why is the opponent lying on the floor!?
ippo: Wasn't the counter supposed to land!?
page 10
ippo: Fujii-san, that.... One more time!
ippo: Please rewing it! I need to see it one more time!
ippo: yeah---
it's a perfectly timed counter...
ippo: wait a second, somethings different! what is it!? Something is.... DIFFERENT
page 11
!?
Impossible...
the leg's positioning---
It's not that of a south paw anymore!? Before i could realise it.... it's become orthodox again!!
The anti-south paw counter's timing changes and instead you take the full weight..
page 12
ippo: How is this possible? This is really weird! Fujii-san, i need to see it one more...
miyata's dad: that's enough! Stop the tape!!
ippo: but the south paw suddenly became orthodox...... I've never seen any boxer that's done this. You need to watch it over and over and study it.
miyata's dad: it's enough. I understand everything.
ippo: everything? (what....by watching it once or twice!?)
page 13
miyata's dad: the mystery of my son's actions ... the idea that this boxer is our destiny... everything....... It's all so clear now!
fujii: you noticed?
ippo: (i dont get it? everything is shrowded in mystery to me)
miyata's dad: after seeing the finishing blow I figured it out. Actually, saying that I remembered it is more correct I suppose...
fujii: researching his background it really blew me away.
miyata's dad: even his face is familiar. I can't believe... I didn't realize it sooner....
fujii: His name is different, it's understandable you didn't see it. He went by the name "racoon boy" when you fought him in the ring.
miyata's dad: I see..... There's no mistaking it---
page 14
miyata's dad: It's the boxer that put me into retirement. It's his son!!
The finishing blow is without a doubt the same punch that broke my jaw.
Making me think he was a south paw I threw a counter and that's where he hit me with it.
After I lost, I told myself it was just a lucky punch however, it's obvious that he aimed for it.
Seeing the depth of the World, i chose the path of retirement.
page 15
ippo: (miyata-san and randy jr's father have already fought!?) (and now....it's)
ippo: (a fight between both of their son's!?)
fujii: Racoon boy. A "racoon" refers to a racoon in our language. It probably has to do with the fact that he can use both hands efficiently, a ring name given by his audience.
miyata's dad: as you saw, it's not a left or right. An anbidexerous boxer of the world. Frequently switching stances, you can't even begin to understand the distance or timing. For a counter puncher, it's a hellish opponent.
fujii: Even when you say East Asia, it's still a huge place. The parents fighting and once again their offspring meeting in the ring..... It can't be any coincidence. It's destiny--
miyata's dad: --however
page 16
miyata's dad: it's an old story. It's something even I have already forgotten ages ago. But why has ichiro....... of all people why has ichiro able to come to the truth !?
fujii: I don't know the reason but perhaps he was the only one unable to forget the past. And now that's he's realized the truth he can't back down from it.
fujii: He can't let this disgrace go without some redemption.
miyata's dad: idiotic. That had nothing to do with him, he's not even involved. He threw his match away with makunouchi for this!?
fujii: where to?
miyata's dad: This fight is not going to happen. I'm going to stop it. Avenging his father's loss is absolutely ridiculous.
page 17
Ippo: Miyata-kun. He will never stop.
Ippo: it's not even about revenge. It's something miyata-kun has thought about all this time. It's the most important thing for him.
Ippo (thinking): I'm finally satisfied. I get it now. Since then miyata---
page 18
miyata speaking in the past: I'm going to reach the top with the style I've admired.
For my father who quit boxing pre-maturely
and for my own sense of pride !!
I'm going to prove it to everyone!!
ippo(thinking): Since then-- miyata-kun hasn't changed one bit.
