I'm cautiously optimistic for this upcoming fight, although it seems like a foregone conclusion it'll end in a slugfest. EDIT: I am totally optimistic for Takamura's upcoming fight, though.

Morikawa should just gently caress the boxing and make it entirely a gag manga now. Just stick it in her already!

Mangastream has picked up Ippo and posted 918 (Count down to the inevitable group drama with Ignition-One). http://mangastream.com/read/hajime_no_ippo/66161744/1

I haven't read a chapter of Ippo since I ragequit at 882 because of Woli... Is it safe to resume reading it again?

Ippo's new opponent is basically Hoshi 2.0. No idea at all why he is fighting again, everyone wants to see other matches from the supporting characters.

I'm hoping this fight ends up like Ipoo vs Karasawa and he completely dominates him so Ippo can finally move on to the world stage or something, but knowing Mori, it'll last 20 chapters and then he'll go back to the whole "Itagaki vs Ippo" thing

You know that's why I'm slightly optimistic this fight wont be a big deal. Like the fact that it's so soon and seems pointless (other than as a reminder that Ippo IS still Japanese champion) hopefully means that it'll be over quickly and just a quick way to show how Ippo doesn't buckle under the pressure of bunches "from 2 divisions higher".

It'll be interesting to see what the guy thinks is the obvious flaw that everyone is overlooking with regards to Ippo, but that is about it. At the least, hopefully he can take a hit. He is from a few weight classes above Ippo, and so far as I remember he only lost fights to decisions, not downs or KOs. He should at least be someone equipped to deal with Ippo's strategy of standing there and pounding away at people.

Really? I'm finding post-Woli perfectly readable. I even enjoyed the Itagaki fight for what it was. It's been ho-hum/formulaic but I wouldn't go as far as terrible. That makes it seem like it's Woli gratingly bad/pointless, which it hasn't been.

I'm guessing he thinks that everyone tries to outbox Ippo to pieces, while Ippo's spent his whole career training anti-Miyata techniques and tactics... so he thinks if he locks down with Ippo and goes into a full-on exchange the champ will crumble faster than people think he would. But then there was that deep sea fisherman who basically did that, so I dunno.

Yeah, that is the thing. He's watched people try to outbox, he's watched people try to get in there and just pound him, and he's saying they are all being stupid somehow. After building it up this much, he *better* have some pay-off to all the cockiness.

tbp posted:Are they seriously making us read another loving title defense Which I don't loving get because he's just defeated the 3 Pacific Champions to become the Unofficial OPBF Champion so he could challenge Miyata to a fight because he pussed out. Now it looks like we get another loving title defence followed shortly by Itagaki challenging Ippo for the title. God this series really went to poo poo after Miyata declined their last fight.

That's not even what gets me. They shut that down, they move on....and they introduce a new speedster character that wants to fight Ippo working at the same gym. .....what the gently caress, why not just let him fight Miyata AND SAVE ME THE STUPID loving PUNS AND RAPE FACE?!

tbp posted:Are they seriously making us read another loving title defense Ippo will never Fight outside Japan, *never*. Neither will Takamura (How come he is not swimming in money?). Because seeing them fight outside Japan would be interesting and the Author cannot have that. Instead, we are doomed to title defense gimmick fight, Itagaki fight, title defense gimmick fight, repeat x 15, and then a final fight against Miyata when the editors decide to mercy kill the series.

I'm on the fence about seeing Ippo fight Itagaki, I think it might be interesting and I'm hoping for a Date level struggle and finally Ippo loving goes to the world stage. He's insanely to good for Japan at the moment.

They better speed up Ippo's progress because the amount of fights he's had would be a fine, normal career for any good boxer unless they plan on dragging his career out and show Ippo hitting his physical peak and declining. They still have some go-to shonen bullshit arcs. -Someone literally dies in the ring, finally -Takamura's various championships -Aoki/Kimura retiring -Kamogawa dies -Ippo actually touches someone of the opposite sex etc etc.

I always assumed maybe that was the route the author was gonna take, that Kamogawa would die and that perhaps Takamura would retire (detatched retina issue, or for some other reason) and take over the gym and take on the old man's goal as respect to the fact he helped him to the top of the world. As much as people would hate the idea of Takamura not continuing his goal, if Morikawa is losing his touch on fights, I'd rather see the story go in a direction like that where there was genuine emotional impact.

I'm honestly not looking forward to any of the Takamura World Championship fights except the heavyweight one. I feel like they're gonna be bullshit - Eagle was alright, but nowhere near Hawk.

I felt the same way. Ippo is supposed to be a mini Japanese Tyson, so why wouldn't the Japanese Cus D'amato die?

Degenerative nerve disease means he can't feel his hands any more, and they're almost useless. But he can make a fist, and because he can't feel them breaking he can punch harder than anyone else!

I was re-reading some chapters and I'd like to point out that it was about 300 chapters ago when the coach promised Ippo he could relinquish the Japanese title.

It's been like eight hundred chapters since they started circle-jerking about a showdown with Miyata. I seriously cannot think of another absurdly long shonen series that has hosed around and completely ignored the rival-showdown crap for this long. e: After checking, it has been 905 chapters. They started that poo poo up in chapter 13. Zellyn fucked around with this message at 14:39 on Dec 14, 2010 |

Technically its not a rivalry anymore as both of them gave up on fighting each other? But I guess that it changed some time within those 300 chapters Also, more Kojima theories: 1) He injected his hands with adamantium so he could punch as hard as Ippo 2) He grafted the fists of a boxer from a heavier weight-class onto his arms for increased punching power 2) He's developed a punch so fast and hard that the air slices his hands as he throws it 4) Maybe he's just a day laborer and ashamed of his profession

Really don't understand why they couldn't just have Ippo and Miyata fight, then go up two different paths for the World Title and meet again later, this series is loving long, jesus That said I do like when he fights Randy Boy Jr

Centzon Totochtin posted:1) He injected his hands with adamantium so he could punch as hard as Ippo I'm thinking something like this. Like, he shattered his hand in some accident, and now he has metal plates keeping his hands together. Throw in some 'can't feel anything' voodoo, and bam, you get fists that will destroy Ippo in a punch exchange. Basically, more excuses for Ippo to get pummeled in the ring.

I kinda like how Ippo never has to give a poo poo about his weight when literally every other boxer he fights seems to have to kill themselves to make weight. Also, all he does is add muscle between every fight. He's going to be a 4-foot nothing version of the Incredible Hulk by the time this series is through and yet he'll still be a featherweight.
