Does seem sorta likely given that he got face time and some uncanny insight into how dangerous Ippo actually would be in a fight.

I'm way too lazy to do it but I want to see every Umezawa reaction panel side by side. Also hey, it's that guy. I'd pretty much forgotten about him.

Welp, time for Miyata to lose his belt. He seriously looks half dead.

drat... That is the most emotion I ever seen out of him. He took Ippo retiring really hard. I forgot the mangka was Ippos former bully...

Christ, I forgot about that too, no wonder Umezawa kept doing dogeza. edit: Okay, rereading it back with that in mind makes the entire schtick funny instead of confusing.

I haven't checked this thread since around May, glad to see there's some actual updates. Also SwissArmyDruid posted:Christ, I forgot about that too, no wonder Umezawa kept doing dogeza. This makes so much more sense. I haven't gone back to those old chapters since I first read them years ago and completely forgot about that. The problem with having a manga that's literally as old as I am.

Just thought to mention since it's kind of a big thing, but 1215 is officially the last chapter with I-O. Puar (uncredited on their scans, but who's been involved with the joint since it began) has been boggled down by real life like most responsible people, and oni (the tl) chose to wait for him. Mangastream decided to move on without them for the rest of the series. I figure nobody will notice or care cuz who really cares about credits on illegal mangos, but it was my best friend's passion project for almost 15 years and I wanted to put that out somewhere for someone to read it, at least

And I’m glad they brought Ippo for us to read because as it can be seen not many like taking up the project.

So those translators have my appreciation. On another note, Chapter 1230 has been translated. When cutting weight goes wrong!

i mean, the draw back into boxing has to be ippo catching miyata for a fight prior to him being completely unable to stay at featherweight. i wish this would hurry up

It's been a while since I read old chapters so was 'the world' ever actually given a real goal to reach (like a title to gain or fighter to beat) or was it always just some intangible international that the series never bothered to explain? I vaguely remember some guy called Ricardo who was meant to be The Level of the World but that was probably hundreds of chapters ago. The last concrete thing about this series I remember is Takamaru vs Hawk because everything about it from the lead-up to the fight to the aftermath fuckin' ruled, but I can't remember a single event or Ippo opponent after it.

It's nice to see that Miyata feels the same way about his own story arcs as I do.

I vaguely remember some guy called Ricardo who was meant to be The Level of the World but that was probably hundreds of chapters ago. ricardo martinez is still the #1 boxer in the featherweight class by a long time (the author says hes 2nd to takamura in sheer talent overall) and is, as with many characters, a bastardized version of an AnJ character (bantamweight world champ Jose Mendoza). whereas the latter had a pretty detailed and interesting character, ricardo is more or less just.. there. he's very good and very absent.

takamura should beat up ricardo not in a formal boxing match just they meet in a bar and yell at eachother for a bit

To be fair to Miyata, getting beaten like that certainly would make him feel closer to Ippo.

I enjoy everyone trying to guilt Ippo for quitting after two consecutive losses due to what is basically confirmed CTE. Oh, what an rear end in a top hat, he let his rivals down quitting over a trivial thing like brain damage
