He's always had his dreams, but now he's got a chance to go for it, so he becomes more determined and pushes himself to his limits. Kimura's always been serious about boxing and has loved it, but in this OVA his attitude becomes a little more like Ippo's. Mashiba's the same fearless, anti-social psychopath as usual, but we get a look at his desires, he almost seems like he's warmed up a little at his workplace, and we see that even he can lose his confidence at times.

The music was fitting and knew how to make the battle even more intense. There was some small amount of 3D during the fight where the ring was kinda circling, Mashiba and Kimura were still 2D I thought it was well done and looked really cool, and that's coming from someone who normally hates 3D in anime. The fight isn't dragged on, pointless, or dull to watch every bit of it is meaningful and exciting. I love that about Hajime no Ippo you can actually see their attacks and the intensity behind them, it's not some cheap battle anime where half of the fight is explosions, smoke, and mountains crumbling whilst the other half is characters warping around, shooting energy blasts at each other, and having casual conversations mid-battle. There were maybe a few recycled fighting sequences, but this series always does it in a tasteful way, unlike DBZ. When I saw Mashiba's name in the title, I thought it would just be some hilarious spin-off with Kimura getting beaten up by that crazy SOB, but the story was quite intense and touching. Boxing isn't just some uncivil sport it's physically and mentally challenging, everyone has their own reasons for doing it, and it takes some serious dedication and guts.
