Kumi was especially ugly in this episode thanks to that dress.

poor Aoki, he had to take the fall for Ippo

sounds like the fights going to come down to a "whoever steps back first loses" type situation. I find it hard to get psyched about it now.

First half of episode was pretty cute a trip to the zoo with Kumi and looking for animals that reminded them of people but also the sweet moments and awkward silence xD but at least he manned up at the end. But the match with Sendo will most likely be explosive!

Great ep! Ippo is getting closer with Kumi, and it seems Sendo will be difficult to beat due to his improved legs.

I wonder why the title of the episode was called naughty boy :S

Nice overall episode, I lol'd at the animals.

"Naughty Boy" may refer to Sendo's high school years.

Some nice character development for Sendo as well as a little relationship development for Kumi and Ippo. I'm looking forward to the Ippo and Sendo fight, looks like Sendo has a some good tricks up his sleeve. Can't have a Shounen without the obligatory ankle weights :)

The first half was hilarious, especially when they were comparing animals. That Mashiba monkey xD

It was cute when she was asking him for that autograph and so funny when Ippo said ''What? You hate Aoki?'' :P

I like how that journalist said at the beginning that she had no interrest in national boxer and that she gained interrest because of Ippo.

It was interresting to know Sendo past. He sure had a tough life.

Ippo: "That monkey looks like Aoki, That gorilla looks like Takamura, That monkey looks like ....Mashiba"
Mashiba suddnely standing behind Ippo: "What did your say?"

Didn't know Sendo had such a backstory, he has really improved a lot since the last time he fought Ippo.

Ippo had another fun date with Kumi and he was even able to make an even better and more serious promise to her to make up for not letting her be the first person to have his autograph. He better fulfill it this time!

I personally think that beating Sendo's gonna be Ippo's biggest challenge to date even if you take Date into consideration because fighting an equal in terms of both power and fighting style's arguably harder to deal with in addition to both of them having improved drastically since their first bout. It'll definitely be more brutal this time around and that'd be saying a lot.

Gorgeous, and it was perfect for Ippo to relax. Great advance for the romance of Kumi and Ippo
Sometimes otakus are rejected by society, so I discovered that it is much better to be an

Ippo's parents are so wholesome for supporting him behind the scenes. Kimu and Ippo get together and visit the zoo - Ippo looks so much like a gentleman in their trip together. Kimu reveals that she was upset that Ippo gave his autograph to someone before her but he promises to give his first autograph to Kimu after he receives the champ title. I'm not liking this reporter, seems like she's playing both sides of the Sendo vs Ippo match.

It was good to hear of Sendo's past, he became a fighter basically after being a delinquent with morals. Those ankle weights must be an ace up Sendo's sleeves since I'm sure they'll help with his stamina
