I had finished the end and a bit after of the Date fight. I read JoJo's for a long while but the really lovely quality of the scans just put me off

Date fight was magnificent and the scan quality on the fourth part (And bits of the third) are pretty drat atrocious. Such a shame since they're probably the highpoint of it.

901 Raw is up: Whole chapter covers the start of the fight. The first ten seconds Looks like we figured; Itagaki's head isn't in the game. He lands a few on Karasawa, but he doesn't seem bothered by it. Adding to it, Itagaki keeps eyeballing the clock. He's going to either get his bell rung or this'll string along to a decision. If he pulls this off and beats Ippo's time with this half-assed approach, then I'll really be upset. It's not impossible, but it'd just be... Well... Wrong.

Geop posted:901 Raw is up: My guess is that Itagaki's gonna get his rear end beat, get real dejected from not achieving his goal, and this is all a setup for him to leave the gym a la Miyata, especially since he has a hard-on for beating Ippo whether he admits it or not. In short, Ippo drives away all talent from the gym, except for Takamura.

I want 3d holoIppo Also Itagaki's trunks look hilariously high on page 21. Frabba fucked around with this message at 20:09 on Jul 16, 2010 |

Calling it now. Itagaki will be the last Japanese featherweight that Ippo takes on before he heads out to the world.

Tezcatlipoca posted:Seemed like a standard quality prefight chapter. Yeah, thus far this storyline is both compelling and moving at a decent pace. You're just wary because all the love outboxers get in this manga means we think he might very well godmode his way to a round one victory.

Wow going back and starting Ippo all over again I can't get over how good this series was. I still get the same feeling I did when I first read Ippo go train harder than ever before you son of a bitch. Early Ippo really helps my training haha.

What I really want to happen in this fight is Karasawa using the same trick that Ippo used to defeat him against Itagaki. Just as a way of saying "You got a long ways to go to be on his level kid."

So does anybody know where to read this now that Onemanga's shutting down?

Ignition-One, the group translating Ippo, has an online viewer that goes back to the first chapter.

Oh. 902's Raw came out a while back, and there is at least a script translation on I-O's forums. Itagaki is making a joke of Karasawa, both in speed and apparently technique. Out of nowhere, Itagaki pulls off the neck-twist move that Date used against Ippo in order to reduce damage from his punches. Evidently, though, Karasawa had a habit of being easily read in the past, prior to Sanada stepped in. Made it easy to see when he was panicking and stuff. Sanada has beaten that habit out of him, and he keeps a game face much better at this point. The fact that he's taken two full-force counters and just shrugged them off (from Itagaki's viewpoint) is part of that. At the end of the chapter, Karasawa basically says that it's time for him to take things up a notch, since their speeds are way too mis-matched. I've hated Itagaki a lot, particularly for god-moding. At this point, it almost feels like Itagaki is the bad guy fighting a lovable protagonist. I want Karasawa to win Very much so at this point. Certainly doesn't help that Itagaki is springing around a la Woli. Makes me want to see him tarred and feathered even more. Ugh. Anyhow, the inner-monologue by Karasawa (showed by the miniature versions of him talking near his head ) are just an indicator that he won't be fodder in this case. He was built up a such a badass opponent, and trained so hard, but Ippo ripped him apart. I don't want to see that happen again, especially against a goon like Itagaki.

I hope, during the inevitable Ippo/Itagaki faceoff, Itagaki tries to pull off a head slip, and the force of Ippo's punch snaps his neck clean off of his body. I hate Itagaki.

Vagrancy posted:Just wanted to give OM the proper send off. But yeah, Itagaki is just coming off as a bad guy in this fight. I always liked Karasawa. Even though Ippo made a mockery of him, he was an awesome character. He'd better not end up as fodder, but as Itagaki's wake-up call. In the sense that the ROOKIE SENSATION loses and is put in his place. Then again, it feels like they want Saeki and Itagaki to fight or something

I've always liked Itagaki, since it was nice having the contrast of a really talented boxer who just never thinks straight in a fight. Even so, I'm rooting for Karasawa in this one. I don't dislike Itagaki in this bout, but it's kinda hard to dislike a guy who gets advice from little ghost versions of himself. Karasawa's awesome.

903 raw is up. gently caress yes. Chapter rolls along with the two of them throwing out exchanges. Past a point, Itagaki is almost playing with him. He repeatedly lands good counters on Karasawa's face, and even does a pretty solid feint. He sees the clock is nearing a minute left in the first round, and he decides to try closing it in a hurry. He then slips in to MIYATA-KUN~~'s signature Jolt stance. Following this, Karasawa punches at Itagaki once more, and it does a wide-view of Kourakuen. Last page shows that Karasawa managed to somehow nail Itagaki, making the Jolt backfire. Chapter ends with Itagaki's rear end on the canvas.

Just caught up to 902. I accidentally moused over a spoiler on this page around chapter 600 and my peripheral vision for some reason read "ippo is going to have to start all over now" and i basically read 300 chapters "knowing" that everything ippo was working for would be reset somehow around chapter 900. you can imagine what that woli fight was like for me
