He also refuses to fight any champion not named after a (possibly mythical) animal.

After 1300 chapters, finally time to get to the main focus of the manga, Mahjong.

Watch out for those high stakes games Dragon. Some of them take years to finish.

This should actually be new for Takamura. He's never actually fought at Super Middleweight before. Dragon's also lanky.

YESSSS, another new title for Takamura! Hopefully this fight lives up to his other two world title wins.

Wasn't there a big ol speech a while ago on how there's no such thing as a lucky punch? I don't remember when this was but I vaguely recall coach talking about how a fighter trains their punch.

Kamogawa's spiel in this chapter is about the having luck in your career as a boxer, independent of your performance in the ring, so he's being consistent even if Takamura is making GBS threads on what he said once upon a time

I’m not sure how this is going to go, but having a fighter work on luck doesn’t exactly fill me with confidence. I really hope Morikawa nails the landing on this one, the fights have improved so much that Takamura struggling against a guy who gets lucky punches will be really dumb against all the stuff he’a been setting up so far.

But Sr later told Miyata that this is not the case.

it's gonna be "takamura beats up a weeaboo by dropping anime quotes mid-fight to distract him"

What if he's not really lucky but makes what seem to be really risky moves that work because he's just that good and everyone else assumes it's because he's lucky?

I honestly hope it's something like this. They hype up his 'luck' but it's really just the guy being really loving good and knowing when to make risky moves but I don't know how Morikawa can make the fight special with that. Every fights gotta have a gimmick!

He can be like Aoki when trying to fight hella dirty. I know Takamura fights are often this epitome of -incarnate, but maybe a combination of with goofy-rear end shenanigans match might be in order?

Haven't been this excited about Hajime No Ippo in a long time.

Thinking about it...it's been 3 years since Ippo retired huh?
|
# ? Nov 13, 2020 18:10 |
Ippo is going to discover he still has the shonen desire to ~*chase his dreams*~ Also how in the gently caress has that line takamura dragged out in the grass not grown in by now.

# ? Nov 13, 2020 19:11 |

At this point I don't think Ippo is getting back into the ring until some crazy poo poo happens, including but not limited to -Sendo beats Martinez -Sendo dies -Kamogawa dies -The fishing boat gets wrecked -Ippo's mom somehow becomes independently wealthy and she tells him to chase his dream -The Baki story with Muhammad Alai Jr., except with Ippo as Baki, Kumi as Kozue, and a world champion featherweight as Jr. -Mashiba becomes world lightweight champion and pressures Kumi into joining the Otowa boxing gym as his medical advisor, and then absconds with her on a globe-trotting trek to keep her away from Ippo -Miyata becomes featherweight world champion (This one seems the least likely)

I kinda feel like Takamura's hurry is because Kamogawa is dying- like in the sense that he was diagnosed with something and not just that he's old.

One day when this manga is done someone will write a thesis on its pacing and I’ll read every word with spiteful glee.

I had to look up Togashi but yeah HXH and Berserk pacing is killer. At least Togashi has a descent excuse, being the author of one of the most popular mangas ever while being married to the same. Guy could walk into Jump HQ in Tokyo and take a poo poo on the CEO's desk and say 'print that, bitch' and the CEO would bow and say 'yes sir, should that be a color spread or...' Still, I flip back and forth between having a steady stream of good-to-meh content VS sporadic but kickass chapters.
