Ippo's revelation that finally gives him the courage to Cross the Line: "I've figured it out! I'm supposed to punch... and not get punched!"

I love the total lack of self-reflection that is "Man, I never really understood anything at all about boxing" and wistfully thinking of his coach. Like motherfucker it's literally his job to teach that to you, he failed miserably at the one thing he had to do. Not like he didn't have years to do it either.

it's extremely cool that he's using his mangaka assistant experience to help him analyze boxing poo poo with the model drawings. for every big fumble in this manga there's a really good detail that comes in around the side

Kamogawa was just bad in tell Ippo the exact answers, usually trying to get Ippo to figure it out himself. Kamogawa himself already said he failed Ippo by not properly explaining stuff to him. Edit:Though what Kamogawa needs to do is explain to Ippo about how it was his fault for not teaching Ippo properly. MonsterEnvy fucked around with this message at 21:42 on Jul 15, 2019 |

It's really fun to think of what Kamogawa's career would be if he didn't have three giant boxing beasts walk into his open arms. Takamura doesnt need a ton of coaching, Miyata was destined for greatness no matter who he trained under, and Ippo literally headbutt against a brick wall repeatedly to win and defend a championship. It would be an absolutely awful coaching career.

I hope Morikawa just turns Ippo into a Inoue expy, frankly. He seems to be really focusing on The Left and using it as a versatile tool while not being a passive fighter like he kinda was for the longest time. Kamogawa continues to be a terrible coach and probably the thing that brings this pretty good arc down the most.

Kamogawa is pretty good at physical training, but sucks at strategy. Despite what he said in his youth, he's still with the same mindset that just training harder is the solution to all his boxers's troubles.

That chapter was good. I like that he figured it out using stick figures (he picked up drawing from mr. manga bully, ie life experience outside of boxing). It's actually a reasonable arc for him to have had too much success early on, but jeez this all should have happened hundreds of chapters ago. Whatever I'll take it.

Oh my God Ippo get the gently caress out of this toxic work relationship. "The coach didn't teach me to fight like that" No the problem is that coach never said stop doing stupid poo poo and called you on your weaknesses. It's his fault that you developed such bad habits.

I really liked this chapter, but goddamnit Ippo you can blame the coach, you followed everything he told you, if your fighting style went downwards it's because he didn't correct it during training. I'm going to miss Ippo's shorter hair.

tbp posted:doesn't season 2 end with the best fight in all of HnI? i can't see anyone not wanting more if they make it that far In the manga certainly, but s2 as a whole and the hawk fight in particular were really disappointingly adapted, in my opinion. It’s drawn out in a weird way, looks goofy instead of intense, and the first season sound is missing so we get a way lamer soundtrack. s3, whatever flaws it may have, has the s1 ost style back, and the eagle fight (which I was luke warm on when I first read it in the manga after hawk) almost makes up for how poorly they did the hawk in s2

Agreed ,the season 1 soundtrack is phenomenal and is part of what made the show so iconic. Season 2 is a real drag up until the Bryan Hawk fight because the fight’s before it aren’t very good or interesting and also paced poorly with a worse soundtrack to boot.

Kamogawa is basically the father Ippo never had*, and his job is to simply "have expectations" of Ippo. * I know Ippo technically had a father but no one remembers him so he doesn't count

The S1 soundtrack is real goddamn good. The techno-ish track that plays during the Volg and Sendou rematch fights is great, wish I could find it.

Since I'm on the Volg episodes, I feel the need to defend Kamagawa: he gave Ippo the Gazelle Punch  Didn't realize this was the manga thread. Sorry folks! I'll probably seek it out once this is over - the soundtrack and the voice actor playing Takamura are too good

IIRC Kamogawas training is really good at training his boxers to always aim their punches at vital points so that when they hit, they hurt. He's just not good at anything else

While I do agree that the soundtrack was inferior to that of Season 1, sound direction/"effect boxes" and voice acting still carried a lot of weight there. Rikiya Koyama was absolutely the MVP because he made Takamura sound positively feral at points.
