Part of me wants to think that a big loss after an intense build-up was a gutsy way to end the series. The other part of me thinks that it was a terrible waste to throw all that momentum away just because you're done. Both parts think it's a lovely thing to do to Ippo.

Peel posted:It's a decently executed piece of drama on the single-fight level, it just clashes badly with the manga as a whole. That's if it's actually the end, but it not being the end would itself be tricky to work at this point. this is written better and more succinctly than i couldve but its basically exactly how i feel there's a reason why Brain Damage Ending The Career worked in AnJ and not HnI

If the author is sick or something and just wants to end the series on his his own terms I can't fault him too much.

I could believe that Kamogawa has terrible arthritis and is too prideful to admit that he can no longer throw.

Is there actual word the series is ending or is everyone just jumping to that conclusion because Ippo lost? I ask because it certainly doesn't seem like the kinda thing this author would do unless there was some outside prompting like health, falling numbers, a traumatic life event, etc. It would be kinda cool if the weekly format was just too much at this point and it shifted to a monthly more serious end game focused story with this as the pivot point, but I'm sure that kind of format change would have been announced.

It turns out Ippo's "first step" will be learning how to walk again after severe brain damage.

I'm unfamiliar with the actual sport of boxing. Is someone with that kind of damage even allowed back in the ring at any point? Ippo has it pretty bad. Hand tremors. Missing time. Loss of balance. Is there any kind of brain damage to that degree that isn't permanent? Besides the fact that he said he'd retire if he ever lost again, is there any chance he could come back in 5 years, cross Takamura's monster line, figure out what that tree is trying to tell him about being strong, lose his virginity, and sign up with another gym? I'd like maybe some kind of true story of any boxer that's gone through this so I have some idea of what the author can even do at this point.

Muhammad Ali comes to mind, dude kept going even though he shouldn't in his later years. I'm just referencing off Wiki but one fight he had to go through a complete physical because he was starting to develop vocal stutters and trembling hands. He went to some clinic that cleared him he was good to go, and he got completed dominated in his return, and lost because they had to call the match quits. So yeah not sure where the author wants to go with this. Shindragon fucked around with this message at 03:57 on Dec 6, 2017 |

The next step will be Ippo directly training his brain. Coach will tell him to pound a log into a hill using his head, in order to exercise his brain and make it adapt to that level of punishment.

Nope, maybe if this was back in the 80's before MRI's and poo poo, but now it would be impossible for Ippo to get a clean bill of health. Also no on him taking a 5 year break and come back stronger. That was one of the reasons of why Date wanted to fight Martinez as soon as possible after his comeback: he knew he was getting too old, even though he was just thirty years old. I think Ippo is 23-24 in the manga, so he also would be pushing it if he did this. It would be hilarious if it turns out that Ippo's problems are smaller than everybody thinks, and it only takes a short rehabilitation period to fix, but they got this bad only because he feared going to a specialist doctor.
