In episode 10 of Kenichi the Mightiest Disciple season 1, titled "Go, Kenichi! A Boxer's Weakness!", Kenichi is enlisted by his dojo to spar with a professional boxer who is known for his powerful punches. The boxer, Naoya Fuyuki, has a reputation for knocking out his opponents and the dojo hopes that Kenichi will be able to hold his own against him.
At first, Kenichi is hesitant to fight the boxer, knowing full well the damage that his punches can do. However, he is convinced to try by his friends and mentors, who believe that facing someone with such power will ultimately help him improve.
The sparring session starts with Kenichi trying to evade Fuyuki's powerful punches, but he soon realizes that he needs to do more than just dodge. He starts to analyze the boxer's movements and finds a weakness in his defense. Kenichi then uses his newly learned techniques to counterattack and land his own blows, surprising everyone in the dojo.
The match continues to go back and forth, with both Kenichi and Fuyuki exchanging powerful blows. The boxer starts to get frustrated as Kenichi manages to avoid his strongest punches and land his own hits.
However, the match takes a turn when Fuyuki decides to start using dirty tactics. He starts using illegal punches, hitting Kenichi in the back of the head and other vulnerable areas. Kenichi tries to call him out, but Fuyuki continues to use these illegal moves, causing Kenichi to stumble and lose his footing.
Despite this, Kenichi refuses to give up and manages to get back on his feet. He unleashes a series of punches that catch Fuyuki off guard, knocking him out. Kenichi is declared the winner and the dojo celebrates their victory.
However, Kenichi is not entirely happy with the outcome. He knows that Fuyuki only resorted to dirty tactics because he was getting frustrated and desperate. Kenichi also realizes that his own desire to win took over at times, causing him to almost lose his cool.
With this realization, Kenichi vows to continue to improve and become a true martial artist who values honor and respect above winning at all costs.
Overall, episode 10 of Kenichi the Mightiest Disciple season 1 is a thrilling match between Kenichi and a powerful professional boxer. It's a battle that tests both of their skills and teaches them important lessons about martial arts.
