Episode 11: Showdown

Turtle warns Sakuragi about Ishihara, and Sakuragi leaves to end their conflict while Soldier departs the school to cheers from the others. Ishihara pulls a gun during their confrontation and threatens Setsuko and the boys, but Sakuragi takes it from him; after giving Ei'ichi's note to Ishihara, Sakuragi walks away, only to be stabbed in the abdomen when Ishihara pursues him. Meanwhile, Mario promises Lilly a victory, knocks down the American boxer, and refuses to stop when Lilly wants the bout ended. Bleeding heavily, Sakuragi removes the knife and heads back toward the match before Dr. Sasaki and the police confront him.
