Heh... Spider-man... Web searches... That's funny. I should've trademarked that one. Could've made a mint.

We'll have to agree to disagree. :v:

So, I hope Ippo realizes that he has a 2 time world champion right there at the gym, and he should be asking him for advice, not just what the coach says.

And yeah, Ippo's training this time better be learning to dodge every punch for a full round, or try to catch Itagaki dressed as a chicken, or whatever, just not more of the same garbage Kamogawa keeps going back to.

Rhino, you did this to me!

When I first read through Hajime no Ippo, I always hated Takamura as a complete rear end in a top hat. Now he's the one I want to see something happen with most as he's one of very few interesting characters.

On another note, when Umezawa appeared I was really confused and wondered why Itagaki looked different. I had completely forgotten his existence. I wonder if anything more will come of him.

Anyone who hates Takamaura should get Demspey Roll'd. :colbert:

I always like that about him, he is a cocky brash smug rear end in a top hat but goddamn could he back it up. Plus his fights were always goddamn awesome.

I still enjoy watching his animated fights versus Hawk. It was soooo good.

Jesus Christ was that fight really in 1996? Because it's the best fight in the series in my opinion.

His defense bouts have been pretty weak, and I kind of hated the animated Hawk fight. It was so... lame compared to the manga. But the second series was weird and not quite on point the whole time.

But really Takamura is long overdue for another belt run.

New Chapter. Nothing happens. Itagaki continues to grumble about his fight not even getting a byline, Kumi asks Ippo to quit boxing, Ippo refuses but says that the next time he loses he'll retire.

Raws for 1076 are up. http://powermanga.forumcommunity.net/?t=56766585 People here will probably like it. If you want to go on a boring adventure what happens is basically:

Ippo tries to help Umezawa with his manga but messes it up. Eventually Umezawa asks Ippo to draw a straight line. Turns out Ippo can not draw a straight line due to his damage to the body and brain...

Ippo says he wants to continue boxing but understands there will be consequences.

Bumping because the 1077 raws are out.

http://raw.senmanga.com/Hajime_No_Ippo/1077/1


Ippo has recovered somewhat from the knock-out and his brain is OK, but the potential damage is something at the back of everyone's minds. Ippo will also basically be starting over from scratch (presumably working of his defence, which he admitted was rubbish in one of the previous chapters) once he is sufficiently recovered. Meanwhile, he will be assisting Takamura, who will be uniting two of the Middleweight world titles in his upcoming bout.

Narrative wise, Ippo still has what, at least 5 fights left? This story is never going to end. Seriously, at this pace, it'll be 2500-3000 chapters.

Don't worry, nobody cares anymore. Sooner or later Morikawa is going to receive a "finish this poo poo, you have half a year" memo, like Naruto, and end the suffering.

Anyone who didn't think there wasn't some form of dain bramage is as delusional as Ippo thinking he can make it to the World Title.

If you noticed in the chapter before that, he wasn't just having trouble with his motor control (which is common for fighters in their recovery period), but he forgot he said he would come back to visit Umezawa literally seconds before and stops to say it again. He's having memory issues.

That specifically is probably a bad example since he didn't hear Takamura properly the first time.
