Yeah, but they aren't kilts. They just have the name kilt pants. They are basically a number of back and front flaps that clip onto the pants somewhere near the waist. The one up there looks like two front flaps and probably one back flap.

Anyway, I hope this drat fight ends with Ippo in a coma.

Someone send Mori this thread. Woli will be dead next chapter, guaranteed.

I bet you think that Nomura's designs for square-enix games are crazy as hell and not based on some of the ugly-rear end fashions on many popular Japanese subcultures. They are actually kinda restrained.



(that's like the second hit for "japanese male fashion")

Morikawa: end this crap soon. The off-topic tangents in here are getting out of hand.


Edit: To add something Ippo-related: I hope that Morikawa has the balls to make Ippo lose after all. It is not too late and it will would add a real twist to the story. After all this match is not for the belt so Ippo won't lose it.

... On second thought, that would mean that there would be a rematch against monkey-boy later. Win Ippo, Win!

Ugh. Just found out why we haven't gotten a raw.

Here's the thing: RawParadise would do a lovely scan and we'd get the gist of it. That's now gone. RawParadise has been shut down. Japan probably went after them; they've been doing that lately. We'll have to wait for IgnitionOne to actually scanslate the chapter from their high quality version. WHICH MEANS :v: That we'll have to wait a week before we can see today's strip (if they pop out scanslations weekly on time).

Good loving riddance. I don't care how loving proud they were of being "first", they were just as irritating as people who post that poo poo in comments, and just wound up loving with my weekly chapters for like 3 weeks.

I dunno why they started doing that waterprint bullshit. We've been getting Ippo chapters off them ever since we got caught up, and they decided to pull that dickmove for some silly reason.

Eh. I dunno. I feel tired of arguing with the manga's logic. It's shonen. They're always gonna find some dumb excuse to make the underdog win, despite all odds.

It wouldn't have been so bad if Woli won, and the real Ippo (the one actually prepared for the world stage) came back, completely reconditioned, and badass.

yea but there's no reason for Ippo not to be prepared for the world stage. As horrible as this lovely fight has been, it'd be 10x worse with Woli winning.

Every day when I wake up, and every night before I go to sleep, I pray to God that this fight ends swiftly with Ippo as the victor.

That's a throwback to the Kamogawa fight. It still sucks tho.

No, nothing balances the fact that Woli is gonna lose because he got hit a dozen times by punches so weak he didn't even feel them (Well, technically is going to lose because he aint Japanese but whatever). This fight is such bullshit.

Mutant. Powers.

Not only was he barely touching Woli. He someone managed to put an entire fist imprint on his body in only a dozen touches through the thickness of his boxing gloves.

No, iron fists! Ignore the fact that actual fists made of iron wouldn't do that through a glove.

Part of me wonders if this manga has just become a victim of it's own escalating degree of action abstraction, a ball that started rolling when Ippo blew Karasawa's guts apart with abody blow. The notion of "really talented newbie kid from the jungle runs circles around Ippo who only lands seemingly light hits that later turn out to be decent hits that slow him down for the kill" in and of itself isn't so bad--I think it's the fact that Woli was supposed to be so dominant and that Ippo's only gains were supposed to be so meager that makes it go into the realm of eye-rolling.

Next Ippo realizes through his sacrifices that he has gained the fist of the north star. Woli doesn't even realize it, but he's already dead. Seriously the manga has loving hit rock bottom.

I suppose this was only fitting. If Woli is allowed to violate the law of gravity, then Ippo can tell Newton's 2nd law to piss off. I just hope that this means the fight is almost done and we can move on to something better.

fast, powerful punches were worthless, but slow, light taps somehow got through Woli's guard every time.

This poo poo could have been perfectly plausible if Ippo had actually , y'know, PUNCHED Woli instead of just gently placing his fist at his side.
