YOU CAN NOT BUST THE KRUST

George?! :psyduck:

Summary from elsewhere:

quote:

I can't give a full translation right now, but I did read it so I can answer this quickly:

The coach asks Miguel, "Are you dissatisfied with the results? Are you here to ask for a rematch?" Miguel says, "And if I did...?" The coach tells him that he would refuse because Ippo could not possibly win against Woli again. In fact, he attributes Ippo's victory to Woli's inexperience and the difference in their careers.

Miguel laughs it off and says he's not upset about losing the match or here to demand a rematch but rather to give thanks to Kamogawa and Kamogawa's boy. (The bananas are from Woli.)

Then Miguel says that Ippo and the coach are like peas in a pod and that Ippo's perseverance comes from studying under Kamogawa. His final line, in part about that perseverance is "However, that strength is also his weakness. Someday you two will meet misfortune." The text on the side says, "What's the true meaning of Miguel's ominous prediction?"
I'm definitely siding with Ippo having some long-term injury as a result of this or something :dance: Whenever Mori pulls out poo poo like this, it gets addressed ASAP (ie: it probably won't be foreshadowing 200 chapters ahead, aka round 2 of his next match).

Still kinda bums me out to see it said, but he pretty much says there's no way Ippo would beat Woli again :smith: Say what you will, but I don't like seeing that sorta stuff. Kinda like there's some barrier he can't pass simply because he isn't a "genius". Also, if he's unable to hold a candle to Woli in a rematch, how in the hell will he ever deal with the LAST BOSS? :v:

I hope that Woli's trainer is wrong and Ippo is totally fine, but Woli is somehow crippled for life. Ippo can't possibly win a rematch because he wouldn't punch a guy in a wheelchair.

I hope that the 'disaster' is that Ippo will get injured if he has to many more of these fights, so he can't keep going so loving slow on his path to the World. Hopefully it'll speed him up so he doesn't defend the Japanese title a million more loving times

The stuff about Ippo's potential for long-term injuries isn't gone into with too much deth; I'm sure we'll see more about it later on, though, if only through a new training setup.

Training arc PLLEEEAAAASE :( Ippo's training arcs completely vanished. I liked seeing him improve. I demand he spar against Welterweights and kick their asses like he did in the past :colbert: He hasn't displayed much badassery.

It's cool guys you should read Toriko, plenty of fighting & action, drunken manly men, muscly manly men, girly manly men, strange worlds and even stranger creatures, tons of hilarious gags, and ridiculous amounts of FOOD.

So, on a positive note, Hajime No Ippo sucking this much is kinda good in a way. It makes me see how bad the writing is, and I've found lots of alternative manga I never would have given a chance.

But its gay in a cool way. Like HnI makes me afraid to express my gayness, whereas Toriko makes me want to be actively gayer.

I'm not exactly sure. But apparently, that banana is made out of cardboard. It's even got little creases in it instead of being crushed into paste.

He squished the banana and didn't want it to go to waste so he ate it. You could take it as some kind of symbolism to go with the conversation but all I'm getting is if the coach breaks Ippo he'll eat Ippo's banana.

Its not a banana is a plantain , thats why he couldn't crush it cause green plantains are really hard.

Execution
Well it looks like we're getting a rematch sometime in the future. What new gimmick will Woli come back with? Maybe he'll be a switch hitter. Maybe he'll have some crazy rear end dodge where he slips under and between Ippo's legs to get behind him and trap him in the corner. I don't even know what the gently caress anymore.

Maybe he will increase his weight class in the ring by grunting and flexing, becoming a heavyweight in 20 seconds that take 3 chapters. Alternately, he will take a hint from Otokojuku and begin boxing using the ancient chinese martial art of sending in three deadly baboons.
