Before the battle begins, Akito tells Hiromi that he has an idea. He wants Hiromi to throw out jan-ken, and whoever wins will be able to deal one punch. Hiromi thinks that this will be a good idea, since it will give Hiromi a chance to dodge Hiromi's punches. He thinks that the other guy has turned the fight into a punch-throwing machine, and that it will take some serious skills for him to defeat Hiromi. He wonders why Hiromi is interested in this fight. He says that if he could only hit one opponent, then he would be out of it. He then asks Hiromi what he's trying to do, since he feels that Hiromi has never seen the sky. He tells him to take a few steps and he'll show him where the sky is. He also reminds Hiromi of the legendary battle two years ago, when Hiromi and Agito fought in the same cage. The positions were reversed, and Hiromi lost everything. He's not done yet, he says, but something is definitely wrong with the battle. He remembers that day, when he lost everything in the cage.
