Episode 3 Plot: Joe works with Chief but suddenly collapses from withdrawal to the painkillers and memories of Nanbu's death. Meanwhile, Tetsu and his thugs lead a harassment campaign against the immigrants in the casa, quietly supported by Mio, hoping to drive them out before the auction. The opening day of The Grand Megalobox Tournament arrives, and Joe continues dealing with his inner demons, but his counterpunching strategy works as Chief wins his opening match with a first-round KO. Back at the casa, Marla tells Joe more about Chief's history: that he had a wife who died early on and a frail but brilliant son named Carlo who helped design Chief's Gear to focus on defense. When Carlo died on the journey to this country, Chief abused painkillers and alcohol until one day when his Gear broke down after a match, and Chief himself broke down in tears before swearing to honor Carlo's memory by getting clean. Later, as Chief and his community fix a sabotaged water pump, Joe reconciles with his memory of Nanbu. Joe then cuts his hair in time for the next tournament match, where Chief's acting abilities help him KO his opponent. Later that night, Tetsu's teenage thugs toss a molotov cocktail into the casa, setting Chief's trailer on fire. Chief rushes into the trailer as the flames suddenly expand.
