Fuzzy Pipe Wrench posted:Fixed. You're not allowed to hit below the belt, but what if below the belt hits you? I've read through this entire manga throughout the past 2 months or so and I just got to the part where Woli is introduced. I havent read most of the spoilers yet, but it almost seems like I should just drop the series and cut my losses from some of the stuff you guys are saying. The last Miyata fight seemed to drag on forever as it was, I can't imagine having to wait for a fight chapter by chapter.

Even now that we are at the tail end of it, I can't find much enjoyment from the thing. Wait until it concludes then read it all at once if only to laugh at the amusing moments that make no sense.

I just went back and started re-reading from the beginning. Ippo was so adorable then, when he was fighting real people and relying on his 'punching the poo poo out of things' technique, as opposed to BURNING JAPANESE SPIRIT

I said it weeks ago to a friend that this is the only possible thing that could redeem this fight. I hope removing the seal transforms the thing into the Ippo Roll, and I wanna see some insane 360 degrees bullshit.

Couldn't get a good feel for what was new about the Dempsey Roll 3.0. I guess it's just that his ligaments/joints can handle the strain now? Or was it mostly sealed strictly BECAUSE of that? ie: long-term usage would yield permanent damage. The sad part is that if Ippo pulled that out when they were both at full strength, the match might have ended a bit sooner. Woli getting clocked here isn't really due to his fatigue, I don't think.

It was determined Ippo would have to take out the legs first. It just so happens that Woli's legs are made out of fine pastry, so everything works out.

Banana flavored pastry? The original dempsey roll wouldn't have worked on Miyata, but the ability to break from the figure-eight momentum effectively kills that, I'd think.

Why are you theory-crafting about the dempsey roll? If Morikawa wants to roll to hit it will, if not then Miyata or whomever will faster-than-light triple counter Makunoichi's face. Also, Miyata only needs to wink sexily at Ippo during a fight to completely shut him down (you know this is true).

I disagree. Outside of the ring, sure. But during a fight that would just inspire Ippo to greater feats of amorous boxing.

I think Miyata would end up being distracted in a clinch by Ippo's raging hard on poking into his midsection and completely drop his guard.

logger posted:Hajime no Ippo manga discussion thread: We want to see Ippo's dick again Everyone hide your rear end Click here for the full 645x1614 image. In other news, I was talking to a friend who's a gym teacher. Obviously an authority on this she commented that with conditioning, the stress of lateral ankle and knee movement could be compensated for by movement in the hips and abdomen. So the 'Ippo Roll' could be completed simply due to modern conditioning and nutrition. Glucosamine, protien, and super-crunches. On that note, Ippo needs a nutritionist. He could easily put on another five pounds of muscle, and just spend three(ish) days dehydrating before a match to compensate. Or I hang around idiot gym teachers and trainers too much. Either way, it's a comic book. There needs to be a golf magna. Then I'd have some more relevant input. "You're not fighting the other players, you just need to fight the COURSE."

Rokugi has a super-technological set of irons (he also has a remote-controlled ball, cheater). Aoyama, before becoming a golfer, won an Olympic karate medal.

Yuuya has spent all his money to get a golf club membership and needs to win badly or he wont be able to pay for his mother's surgery! Smith-Wesson trained IN AMERICA with Tiger Woods! Li Xiao-Pen can meditate into a state of complete nothingness with the green. He believes golf will help him understand his own mortality. Mohammad is a master of the sand-trap. Conveniently, he tricks the hero to play golf in the middle of the desert. Woli practiced golf with coconuts and is a complete Genius. His only weakness is that his clubs break easily. The final boss is "Alasdair MacHaggis" who comes from the Scottish family that invented golf in the 15th century. He is a prodigy that has never lost a game who is searching for an opponent that can show him the true meaning of golf. Easy as pie. Quickly, how do I contact Shonen Jump? this is pure Gold!

Eyeshield 21 is saved because Hiruma is brilliant and gives no gently caress at all to anything, ever. He is by far the best character in that manga, and every single character poll shows it. Even the writer agrees. He is also the complete opposite of winning through burning spirit, even in situations where that is what he requires. He is the Takamura of Eyeshield 21.

His never ending arsenal of heavy weaponry never ceases to amaze me. Something similar to Eyesheild was my idea, actually. A high-schooler with no sports talent discovers that he can hit a ball pretty well, finds three like minded people in school (A lackey, an injured super-star, and the rich kid that's played a billion courses and hates everyone) to start a Golf Club. They worm their way into the tough principal's heart, and earn their club funds by caddying for the school board's weekend golf outings. When not caddying, Usless the Main Character has been going all Ben Hogan and practicing until his hands bleed. Rich Kid with poo poo Additude is forced by his golf-crazy father to join the club, and their practice space expands from smacking whiffle-balls into a net, to a world-class facility where they find a mix of support and loathing from the upper crust. It becomes a battle of the classes when Rich Assholes From Another School that know the Golf Club's Rich rear end in a top hat challenge them to a team game. And poo poo goes on like that from there.

You've literally driven away your own loyal and pissed off fans, one at a time. Not even sure you can call it hijacking or going off topic anymore, but, this thread has become a great place to find replacement manga.

TIME FOR HIGH SCHOOLERS TO HIT THE TOWN IN VEGAS Decent manga, but just wasn't my thing I guess. I hook in to details like that and get turned off easily (such as in One Piece). Personally, I've been reading Katsu, Cross Game, and H2 Always loved this guy's work. Touch was a masterpiece.
