I hadn't read that Sendo story before, so thanks for linking it. In other news, Woli remains a gen~ius, because no shounen series ever recognizes the idea of an idiot savant.

Then no I don't

I don't remember whose subs I do like though, because the only thing I watch with subs is Kamen Rider and I'm way behind on that

i think theres some word that always gets translated as genius, "tensai" or something like that, which basically just means naturally gifted or extremely talented. I think I read some slam dunk scans that left it untranslated a while back

Yeah, we were supposed to get 878 this week :confused: It'd better have something good happen, because after 878, we don't get Ippo for two weeks. Then we get a chapter. Then two more weeks without. Such is the holiday season :smith:

I'm just hoping that one of those chapters will end with Ippo punching Woli so drat hard that it satisfies me for two weeks. C'mon, two page spread.

I'm hoping for a career-ending fight here, Woli is so annoying I really don't want him to be a recurring character.

I finished reading through the archives a little while ago, and man does it slow down so badly.

18 page spread where it starts off just showing Woli's face on the left page and slowly shows Ippo's glove appearing and moving towards it from the right page, concluding with it graphically showing Woli's face get distorted by the glove and his retainer getting knocked out.

Four page spread where it shows Ippo's glove on the right and Woli's head on the left then on the next page it shows Woli's lifeless body on the floor on the right and Woli's decapitated head on the left.

A one panel punch, followed by a chapter of reaction shots to the effect that Ippo hit him so hard that it went back in time and slugged his pregnant mother in the gut.

It seems the secret to your success is a combination of boundless energy and enthusiastic insolence...
18 pages of 15 panels each, intricately detailing the effects of each blow on Woli's body, down to the bones breaking and individual brain cells dying.

I'm dreading the next popularity poll because what if Woli is suddenly super popular and he comes back for some kind of rematch :(

I don't see why Woli would be well-liked :( Then again, the Japanese do have rather, uh, questionable tastes.

Nothing like a good 'ol fractured jaw to end a fight. Oooh. It turns out that Woli has a glass jaw, but nobody ever knew because they couldn't hit him! So vary targic.

Ippo reveals that during this fight he's actually been hitting Woli multiple times so fast that he couldn't even see it. In a delayed reaction, Woli spews blood out of his mouth and falls down, never to stand up again.

It hasn't REALLY, it's just the current fight has us all bored. (Ok the last 3)


You my good man have some of the most spine-tingle inducing fights I have ever read in front of you. So goddamn jealous. You will come to worship Takamura.

It doesn't go to poo poo as such. Rather, most of the last third or so of the manga has been brutally mediocre.

Reading the manga gives me the impression the mangaka is a virgin just because god loving drat I'm sick of Ippo being terrible with women and I can't imagine anyone with any experience would drag it out so long.

Nope, he gots a wife and kid. I think one of the problems is he also runs a boxing gym so he doesn't really have the time most authors have to work on their series.

Someone actually LIKED Geromichi? :confused: He bugged the loving hell out of me until you see him again.

The manga is pretty awesome, man. And most of the irritation comes from being caught up with the series. I re-read Ippo's fight prior to this one, and when you can go through it in one sitting, it really isn't bad at all. Although, I think for the past 100-200 chapters, it hasn't been as good as earlier ones. I'm sure that Mori is just having an odd transition, and has a few good ideas on the horizon. Getting to them is just a bit bumpy.

I hope that's the case :ohdear:

But Woli's fight will be one of those that is just a pain to read, even if it is one sitting. He's been god-moding the fight thus far, and his character is just irritating.

Jose --
No worries. I'm sure that by the time we hit the Martinez fight, Ippo will finally give her his first hug :downs:

I would agree if it wasn't for his title fights, I'm of the opinion that he should have been constantly absurd and never have to try since he can blow them to pieces with a single punch.

What amazes me about Takamura VS Bear is how it manages to both be relatively plausible (at least when compared to other fighting comics) while at the same time being deliciously over the top. In a way, it is the perfect microcosm of how the entire comic handles action.

If it was handled like that we never would have gotten the Brian Hawk fight, which was probably the best in the series next to Ippo/Sendo
