New Chapter http://mangastream.com/read/hajime_no_ippo/68847330/1


You can tell this manga has changed when it starts gabbling about race cars and time spaces and spends half the chapter on reactions when something really cool boxing wise gets completely over looked: Saeki uses hitman style now!

I know it's never gonna happen but I hope that's a sign that he wins or at least takes his pound of flesh before he loses.

Spacetime invaders sound like nothing to do with actual boxing. I seriously doubt Morikawa is going to have Itagaki lose here. He's just going to keep beating Ippo's time and getting smugger and smugger until he eventually fights Ippo and loses in a really close fight.

I'm dying laughing at these guys hopping all over the place. This is now a comedy manga in my eyes.

I would say it was established when Woli was bouncing around like a monkey that is manga is comedy.

Also really like how the smugness came off Itagaki. He'll probably win this fight seeing as the other was cocky as well. It isn't who is the fastest, it's who can out smug the other.

We're on volume 4 and it was 10 volumes total. It'll end up with him world champ starting boxing at 27 and still be more believable than Ippo (ignore all 40 year old boxers making title challenges currently).

There is a new chapter of those 2 "speed guys" continuing whatever it is they are doing (it's not boxing, that's for sure) in the ring.

I can only imagine how ridiculous this would look animated with both of them circle strafing each other at top speed.

I wonder if Morikawa intentionally made Itagaki such a smug, unlikable bastard to set him up as a future opponent for Ippo.
Cause drat do I want to see him get knocked the gently caress out.

Seeing as we got a foreshadow of his rape face when Ippo has his back turned (forgot which chapter) I wouldn't be surprised if he got so cocky that just because he beat Ippo's KO times he thinks he would be better.

Only to get Dempsey Roll'd.

Good lord at the crazy bullshit this manga comes with though. Those flicker jabs were more ridiculous than Mashiba's.

It's not even that, it's more the one at the top of the page. The one that looks like it should be a right.

Do we also talk about RRR in here? It is already more realistic than ippo might ever have been in that somebody was too strong so no champions would fight him

Wonder how many chapters they can SHIFT GEARS and WHIFF PUNCHES

At least 6 more, then they need to refuel and make pit stops and then at the end of the fight, one of them gets scrapped

So far this fight seems like that episode in the simpsons in which homer beats his opponents by letting them get tired from punching,in this case the big plan is to hope the other guy gets tired from running around.

I never get the last word, and it makes me very sad.
I find it endlessly amusing that a so-called speed battle is proceeding at a glacial pace.

Sad that I want these fights to end quickly so that we can get back to the only good part of this manga: everything but the boxing.

This is how I imagine they are moving in the ring, except instead of bunny hopping and shooting it's bunny hopping and flailing their arms.

You thought that was my real top speed? *inhales a can of N20* that was less than 60% kiddo. Now behold my real speed and despair!

(drat. he has been trained in the art of Zwee fighting. I may actually have to try punching.)

Ippo's next oponent will have psionic powers. "That punch felt real! but it was only in my mind!". Luckily, the Japanese boxer is heavily resistant against that by nature.

And RRR does indeed rock.
