Promised land answered that there is no messiah.
Episode Description:
Joe returns to Gym Nowhere to find it a broken husk. Flashbacks reveal that Nanbu was fighting late-stage cancer while Edison Liu, Yuri's student, requested a match with Joe, who was mostly focused on running the orphanage and being a trainer at the gym. Joe wanted to win the money from the match in hopes of using it to pay for an experimental treatment for Nanbu, and spent several weeks training, but Sachio saw his actions as ignoring Nanbu while his condition got worse. In the present, Joe falls asleep in the broken gym, but wakes up to find an older Sachio attacking him. After seeing his face, Joe lets Sachio pummel him into unconsciousness...
