| If you know Spanish, the ending song gave it away. The song is basically this arc summarized. |
| Oh Chief , why did this happen ... The annoying part is that they took it happily , they were sad for like few hours and then nothing happened. |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| The guy Chief was boxing was a massive piece of shit. Basically killed him. Rest in peace, Chief. You were a great man. |
| I could see Chief's death coming from a mile away, super predictable and cliche. Chief dying killed the show for me, the best character of this series and he dies in 4 episodes lol. The Chief should have lived, him winning the tournament was the sign that a new life had also begun for him, moving forward from his past. Bad writing in my opinion, this will affect a lot my score for this sequel in the end. |
| You are great Chief The chapter was great. |
| RIP Chief dang those punches in the back made him internally bleed i guess but at least he went out as a hero buying the land legally for his fellow illegal immigrants |
| Ah man.. I thought that this was an action anime. It's breaking my hart. A happy first half, Chief won the tournament. Second half, he dies. I knew it. I just knew that he would die for some reason. But cause of this, Joe will move on. He promised him. This has such a different vibe compared to the first season. Amazing job with the sequel. |

| poor Chief, he activated ALL the death flags... |
I think I don't know wtf I'm doing. Maybe. Probably. |
| Pretty stupid stuff. It would be a lot better if Chief suicided or smth. This season's writing is so uninspired. Wtf happened to this show? 2/5 |

| Rip Chief :'(. Happy for them finally owning the land and have a place they can call home. Joe inhereting Chief's Gear.. the feels :') |
| Damn. I knew those shots to the back of his head were going to affect him and it pretty much cemented itself when he said he was scared of going to sleep. Chief was a pretty nice character and I'm glad his sacrifice wasn't in vain. |
| Already expected it somewhat with that scene of him peacefully falling to sleep but still sad to see Chief die. He was truly a great hero and definitely deserved the title of champion. |
 |
| Chief died so suddenly T_T but why did he die? He looked all right before he went to sleep. |
 |
| Damn Chief was an amazing character. Sad to see him go away. RIP The immigrants got the land. Mio has changed for the better now. The goons have stopped targeting them now. Looks like Joe is gonna take on a different path now. |

| Well that was...unexpected. I'm guessing he was murdered or something. |

| bro actually threatened him with a screwdriver XD. RIP Chief. It sucks that the guy punching his head so much probably killed him. I have no idea where this show is going from here on out Rewatch Edit: Wow, if this anime ended here, it would’ve been the easiest 10/10 of my life. RIP Chief, I knew this was coming, but it was even more impactful than the first time 🥺. I’m glad that Mio got out of the gang, the other kids understood that it’s not a lifestyle you want to be in, but I guess the one that was scolding Mio doesn’t understand that yet. |

| I don't like that his death isn't explained Chief didn't wake up from his dream, it was the start and end of him after his wife and child died |

Seriously, he didnt die for the injuries he sustained in his fight. He was "perfectly" good at the party that night. Also, the damage he received was not particularly severe compared to what we have seen in any Joe battle.
Now, I really NEED that we discuss about Chief death. And I can't believe no one is talking about this.
In this chapter, Chief asks again if he was right to leave the country with his family and the fact that he is trying to build a new home. Somehow, when meeting Joe, the dream of him revives, but also the feelings towards his son and wife. I think he partly recalled the feelings of guilt. After winning, Chief says that he is afraid of falling asleep, and waking up to find that it was all a dream. It gives me the impression that Chief felt that he had fulfilled his duty and had settled his dream, and was prepared to die to be reunited with his family that he loved so much and that he had so present every day. He seems like he is going in peace to sleep ... as if ready to "go".
However, on the other hand, it seems that Chief wanted to continue his dream and fight Joe again. So I am somewhat confused. If one thing is clear, it is that Chief did not die from combat injuries, so I would like to hear your opinions.
So... yes, I think Chief commits suicide, and that the anime shows it very subtly. Besides, Joe doesn't seem surprised at all, nor does the boy's mother...on the contrary, it seems that they can even understand the reasons why he has committed suicide.
| @Belsel the dude kept hitting chief behind his head, there's a famous clip of an MMA fighter who got hit behind his head ONCE and ended up completely paralyzed and almost like a different person mentally, it's a very serious place to get hit at, so yes, he died from the injuries in the fight |

| @lycan_ Hey! Wow, its been a while! It's been 3 years since we saw the series... some users definitely explained to us and debated the possibility of death due to illegal beatings, although many other users also think that he committed suicide. I thought it was suicide, but after this post, I changed my mind and think that it could have been either of the two options since both seem plausible to me. |

| Didn’t expect chief to die like that Wasn’t expecting that It was really sudden but expected from all the hits to the back of the head he got from that fight |
| Inhales oxygen |
| Hikawa is really the worst! Mamiya is someone I'd never like, he got beaten by Chief. Chief is a great character, I believe I never wanted to see Joe again on the ring because of him. I'd be fine with a season focused on Chief. But there were so many death flags in this episode, I expected that ending, it's sad and it makes me cry, but at least he realized his dream and now he's back with his family. Good thing that Mio changed his ways in a few minutes. Now the season it's going to be focused on Joe again, I hope he'll come back to the immigrants later. RIP Chief, he was the Real Boxer! |
