Coach needs to start a fight with Ippo's future opponents, let them beat the poo poo out of him, and use this to drive Ippo into a vengeful frenzy.

Ippo's comeback fight after he learns how to unleash his anger is gonna be against a strange bearded man from a nearby island who possesses incredible stamina, strength and balance...just like Ippo! After unleashing a devastating flurry of angry blows at the old man, Ippo realizes that this man is in fact his long lost father suffering from amnesia...which was cured by Ippo's punches...but croaks right there and then in the ring, grateful that his memories came back before dying and happy that his son is really strong...THE END

Gotta love how we now have legitimate, professional validation from experts on what has been said so many times in this thread before: the coach has no idea what he is doing.

I was expecting the video to just be about the fighting techniques (flicker, dempsey roll, smash, etc.) but I loved how the MMA experts kept ragging on the coach. They were really getting into the psychology of being a fellow gym member, a coach, and a cornerman, and how everyone in the Kamogawa Gym is so bad at that. To me, it's like the number one reason Ippo lost his fight to Eiji Date: Takamura and the coach just dumped on Ippo about how the champion is so powerful and how he's not worthy to take up that position. So much negativity in that gym; where's the support?!

I went back and read the chapter where Ippo slaps the kid again, and I noticed he loving steps in and puts his hips into it as well.

It must have been like being hit with a baseball bat.

Wark, what *is* the proper way to go about asking for a thread rename? Asking for a thread in SH/SC.

Well, you hafta understand that different mods jive with different things. A good clue is this: If the content is funny, that helps a lot. We're a comedy forum first and foremost. And seeing how Ippo has a lot of his humor based on juvenile, dick and fart jokes, CharlestonJew's post about Ippo being well-endowed struck a chord enough that maybe, just maybe, a thread title change was in the cards.

Direct Messages or suggestions on the stickied threads are also welcome.

Looks like the bully has a conscience after all. Might be a path for redemption later on. If he can catch the leaves and learn a proper respect for gloves.

Remember when Kentaro Miura, the author of Berserk, drew a picture of Takamura for Ippo's 1000th chapter? Apparently he was an assistant for Morikawa when he was in college. Now I really want to see him draw that slap scene.

If it was a thing that would happen, you'd have to wait approximately 20 years for it.

i think The Slap was worth it

specifically the panels where taihei sees it coming, puts his hands up to block, and still has enough time to process that he failed to block it and shits his pants a second time

So, Ippo has a punch that surpasses the Heartbreak Shot that stops your time.

This one literally goes back and just deletes the last fifteen minutes of your life from your brain.
