Fighting Spirit: Rising (Hajime no Ippo: Rising)
Also known as: はじめの一歩 Rising
Japanese Featherweight Champion Makunouchi Ippo defends his belt with his signature Dempsey Roll, but rising challengers claim to have discovered its weakness and threaten his reign. As Ippo confronts these threats and questions what true strength means, his gym mate Aoki Masaru pursues his own championship shot at the Japanese Lightweight title. Hajime no Ippo: Rising follows the relentless pursuit of both fighters as they pour body and heart into professional boxing's unforgiving arena.
