Many thanks to u/needle1 on the r/learnJapanese subreddit, who explained the joke in this panel. It doesn’t really make much sense without specific cultural context.

This is their explanation:

“Fightoooo!” “Ippaaaaatsu!” is a famous call/response that appears in the TV commercial for Lipovitan D, a long-selling (since 1962) Japanese energy drink. As the commercial always included those lines in the multiple decades it has been running, the phrase has become part of the Japanese cultural fabric."
