The December chill bit at the shoji screen, but Ryo Mashiba remained unmoved, his sole focus the brutal victory over Ippo. Inside the minka, you witnessed the grotesque reality of the sport—blood, bruises, and pain. As the match concluded, expectation of hospitalization shattered when Ryo leaned against the wall, battered and bleeding, his left arm swollen.

He stared at you with empty, adrenaline-fueled eyes, terrifying in their intensity.
