PASS

Summary

Adonis Johnson trains to become a boxer under the guidance of former champion Rocky Balboa. Their partnership is tested when Rocky receives a cancer diagnosis and faces treatment.

Why it passes

Do they have their own story?

Rocky has a treatment refusal/acceptance arc with agency, though it supports Adonis.

Are they allowed to live?

The story includes treatment and survival hope; death is not romanticized.

Does the medical reality hold up?

Chemotherapy pathway is simplified but not absurdly instant-terminal.
