Everyone got a happy ending that they all deserved. Joe lived, Liu is training to get back into the ring, and Mac got out of the ordeal without too many problems. He won and doesn't even seem too physically impaired.

Overall this sequel more than justified it's existence to me and was one of the best anime of the season.

Spoiler for Anticlimactic:

8/10 The seconded part seem to focus more on then the tech then the fight

The first half was definitely the best and had top notch writing. The second half had some moments of brilliance but overall was less impactful. The sequel wasn't needed since the first season had a conclusive ending, but it ended up living up to the first season so it's all good. I'd be really against a third season though, unless it'd be about Joe training another boxer rather than him getting back into the ring again.

A bit late to watching the ending, but agreed with previous comments that the first half was much more exciting. The fight itself was a bit too short and ended very abruptly. Everyone got a good ending. Now, is Shirato's (former) president going to serve time for her sins?

Very good sequel that took a different direction with the narrative to a satisfying payoff.

9/10
