1970, Somewhere in poor part of Tokyo.

Sunny spring day, warm wind goes through your hair. You standing here, nearby a gym where training most famous asian boxer, Joe Yabuki. You successfully passed Tange Dampei’s test for join the gym and start your workout routine few weeks ago. Nothing special happens. Boredom creeps on your face because of the day off. Everyone is just relaxing. Dampei cleaning the gym’s floor, two of the members are sitting on the couch, talking with each other. Third member at home today. Everyone does nothing. Except Yabuki sure. He didn’t dared to think about day off. Weight control, tactics and blah blah. Thanks to Yoko for giving him so weird opponent. A complete monkey who can’t even say a complete sentence. How he even passed the professional test?! You ask yourself. Finally, Joe sits on the bench, first training is over, a few hours off. You should already talk to him , it’s a few weeks as you join and you didn’t even said a word to him.
