With the help of her coach and Kairi, her training routine now included weightlifting and more intense practice sessions. On the other hand, Kairi also faced his own challenges. After starting an apprenticeship with photographer Asakura (played by Junpei Yasui), Kairi was unexpectedly reunited with an old sparring partner during a photoshoot. This encounter reminded him of his former dreams of being a boxing champion. Meanwhile, Hokomi’s troubles escalated when she lost a government-issued laptop, creating a series of problems.

On top of that, cracks began to appear in Hokomi and Kairi’s previously happy relationship as they struggled to navigate their personal challenges. The episode introduced Hamada Takahiro as Izaki Yuya, a boxer from Kairi’s past. Izaki played a key role in pushing Kairi to reevaluate his goals and reignite his passion for photography. As tensions rise and emotions run high, fans are eager to see how Hokomi and Kairi will overcome these challenges together.
