Joe Yabuki has been missing for six months since his bout with rival Rikiishi Toru, but he can't stay out of the boxing ring for long. Joe returns to train at the gym under Namidabashi Bridge, but due to unsettled trauma from his last fight, he can't punch his opponents' faces without getting sick. Carlos Rivera, otherwise known as the "beltless champion", is scheduled to fight the World Champion, but when Joe gets a chance to spar with him, it sparks a new rivalry for both of them. Joe comes to set his sights on Jose Mendoza, the same World Champion that Carlos would fight, so that he may burn so brightly there'll be no embers left. (Discotek Media)
