### Summary
The upcoming fight against middleweight champion Santorino Fabrizo has become intensely personal after Fabrizo and his coach/brother Marco attacked Yu's manager, Carmen. This provocation, coupled with the revelation that the opponent is cheating with performance-enhancing drugs, successfully shattered Yu's profound apathy, awakening a menacing desire for revenge. However, the central conflict has taken a controversial turn, as legendary trainer K has now forced Yu to stoop to his opponent's level by providing him with drugs as well. This act has solidified K's role as a villain in the eyes of many readers, who view the doping as an unnecessary and corrupting measure for a prodigy of Yu's overwhelming natural talent. Fans express immense sympathy for Yu, seeing him as a "puppet" being manipulated by the very mentor who was supposed to guide him, and fear this path will destroy what little humanity he has left. The coach's decision has transformed the narrative from a simple revenge match into a question of moral decay, as Yu is now being compelled to win dishonorably, raising concerns about K's true intentions and the ultimate cost of victory.
