The bruises on the shoulders was corny as hell lol. Yoko Yabuki moments are among my favourites of the series <3

Seriously now, I think Yohko loves Joe. But I'm not sure if the latter loves her back lulz.

That Jose Mendoza guy though.

Please Joe, whatever you do, don't do what Rikiishi did...

Lmao, that bruises on Joe's shoulder tho XD. Hopefully Joe's diet will be fine, unlike Rikiishi.

When they showed the bruises on Joe's shoulders I was like "wow really?" but then I thought whatever, this match will be epic as hell!

I guess Joes hard diet reminded Yoko at something which causes her pain. Just hope he won't end like Rikiishi.

And Wtf? What kind of grip was that ?

I somehow felt that Joe's height changed a bit but I never thought about gaining weight, please Joe I beg you don't do what Rikiishi did.

Man, Danpei is hilarious lol. i agree with Nishi, i always thought of him as a sensitive man.
"A grown man shouldn't be crying over something like this" says the guy who've probably cried more than 10 times until now lmao.

I like the progression of Joe and Yoko's relationship, for some reason i hope they end up friends and not lovers.

I think Joe is putting the blame on Jose to avoid blaming himself. it's not Jose who crippled Carlos, it's, Joe. if it wasn't for their match, Carlos would've probably won against Jose.. and even if he didn't, i'm sure he wouldn't have gone crippled.

Joe is a growing boy after all, I knew weight problems would come in sooner or later. Danpei's Engrish was awesome, it felt so awkward, haha. Jose truly is an intimidating folk, very dangerous. Joe's chat with Yohko was interesting. The marks were unexpected, I guess Jose wasn't as gentle as he seemed.

Kinda wondering how Joe has a weight problem when most of his opponents in the same weight class are taller and wider than him. I guess he carries it well? lol

In bantamweight class the range of possible weight is just 3 pounds or 1.3 kg, 115 to 118 lbs. If Joe is still growing then he'll quickly run into problems, especially since at the end of puberty testosterone starts to have a stronger effect on muscle mass.

Joe still growing is going to be an issue if he wants to stay in the Bantam weight so he can fight Mendoza.
That said Mendoza looked a lot bigger than Joe.

You could instantly see Yoko's fear come back up as soon as Joe refused to eat, fearing Joe's going to end up like Rikiishi.

Also those bruises were insane just from gripping him.

I like how joe is struggling with his weight, but Jose is twice as big as him. There's always some level of Baki with these characts.
