Welp, I guess it is kinda true that Ippo committed assault there as an (boxing champion) adult against an underage teenager, and being open-hand doesn't change the fact he hit him hard enough to seemingly make him bleed a lot. Ippo is actually not being entirely unreasonable in thinking this is a criminal offense.

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far.

Rare insightful Reddit comment:

quote:

He also very deliberately raises his arm, essentially warning Taihei that he's gonna do it.

So in less time than it took for Taihei to raise his arms from his waist to his face after being warned, Ippo swung his entire outstretched non-dominant arm all the way in front of him while wearing training weights. Jesus christ, even comparing that to my slow asf guard time, getting hit by something with that much weight and angular velocity would be akin to getting mauled by a bear. But given that Taihei is semi trained it must have hit even harder than that, and this is Ippo showing restraint. gently caress.

I forgot about the training weights, that slap must have felt like getting hit with a log.

That would be ACTUAL murder and Ippo would actually be justified in wanting to turn himself in.

I mean, Ippo is justified in wanting to turn himself in even if it was just a slap, because goddamn, he sent him flying and bloodied and ended up unconscious.

I don't think Ippo will go to prison, someone, maybe the brother, will convince Tahei to not place charges or something like that, but man, Ippo's mom is going to be dissapointed, and that will break Ippo more than going to prison.

Taihei will either continue to be a piece of poo poo and report Ippo, or he'll be like "Wow that was cool" or humbled or something and not report him.

Takamura knows that this is what Ippo needs to be world-class level, basing this off the single frame of his eye. Tapping into the monster and coming out of retirement is my bet. Maybe some early issues adapting to it or fighting too violently because of it etc

Just gotta have the coach drop them before the match and bam get him fired up. Also didn't think the "monster" plot would be brought up. I doubt Ippo will go through with it though. I mean he's heading for jail right now so what would convince him..err actualy Taka probably would do it like acknowledging that Ippo finally is learning what it means to "box" like him.
