And another one goes down. That was awesome how the old man easily dispatched the entire bikers gang and also got them to surrender. lol to funny. The American team sure a bunch of posers that use cheap tricks to win fights.

Anyways it seems things are starting to heat up next battle. To tell you the truth all of these fights have been kind of not what i was expecting. The first match was in my opinion a true great boxing match between monster and ichamatsu, that was so far my favorite episodes of this season. It involved pretty clever strategy through out the match. These other matches have been nothing but people using deception to win and are all bunch of weak pathetic loosers.

I am more interested to see what the "Germans" have to offer, they at least recognized the Americans trickery and deception which means they are probably at least true skilled fighters.

Well at last the "new guy" finally appears, so im guessing where heading into the final match. But what about Shaft??

True, this is not boxing, but coming after two boxing tournaments, a change in ring dynamics to raise the dramatic is welcomed.

This episode offered just a mini-showcase for the boxer 's special move but the scenes at the dojo were fun.
Still, I hope the mafioso knows boxing and is not all talk since he will likely confront Kenzaki. Without that, only Ishimatsu and Ryûji will end up having a chance to shine in the event.

The episode has an awful lot of badly drawn faces (especially post-fight) and the animation for walking and motorbike felt very wrong.

3/5

the animation looked really bad/cheap at times this ep, shame as has felt like a good adaptation so far that this historic series deserved, but I guess it wasn't immune to production issues of it's time
I have a third testicle that gives me psychic powers
