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.

the page of mashiba finally getting to drop back into hitman stance was so loving good

"ok good i got some distance - OH NO"

YOU'VE ACTIVATED MY TRAP CARD 'Hitman Style' !!

Mashiba's weakness has always been infighters, I guess this is to show that he has a short range solution to go with his long range elasto-flickers?

Was clicking this video and thinking "better be the original" and was pleased to see it was. I remember almost all of that despite it probably being like 7-8 years since I've seen it.

Back in college (~2006-2008) my friend (at a different university) and I got really into weight-lifting as a result of Ippo lol (like actually seriously into it, we both became very fit)

I was in college at around the same time and I got into weight lifting/body building because of DBZ. I'm six feet and went from 120 to 180 pounds.

Fictional characters can be goddamn inspiring I don't care what anyone says.

That was something that stuck out to me when rewatching that fight, a lot of the soundtrack was almost jazz/prog in nature.

I was under the impression there was a later one that also covered the beginning of the series, but I'm probably wrong about that. Maybe the later one only covered later content?

I actually lost some weight (I went from 5'10" and 165lb to 145lb), but still became much stronger. Couldn't get myself to eat enough to gain weight, but it made a huge difference in terms of appearance - I had actual abs and was "noticeably a guy who is fit and works out" (for lack of a better description).

Unfortunately I found it much harder to keep up later in life, though I didn't completely let myself go - I just went back to weighing 165lb and only really do cardio because I can easily do it in the house. The downside to having been really fit at one point during your life is that you can't help but compare everything with that in the future.

The first ippo anime was in 2000 and all the other tv series have continued in a linear order from where that ended.

At this point i'm kinda wondering what the end point of this manga is supposed to be. While it's still enjoyable, it feels like it's just going through the motions with no end in sight, and at the snails pace the story moves any 'Ippo gets back in the ring' plot would tack on at least another 10 years.

The art is really good nowadays though, and i'm appreciating the move away from dumb gimmick fights and focusing back on the basics, it makes the fights a lot better again.

My money is Mashiba getting into a DAI PINCHE and firing up his samurai spirit by imagining Ippo macking on his li'l sis :wink:
Like Ippo puts his arm around her shoulders for comfort/support and Mashiba goes beastmode and spontaneously evolves the Dempsy Hitman StyleTM.

Caaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaled it :smuggo: Mostly. He hasn't mentioned his sister yet but :10bux: says it's the first thing he says to Ippo after the match.

Yeah I don't think so. There was a bigass gap in there, but S3 picks up right where the OVAs following the original 2 seasons ended.

I randomly started rereading the whole thing since it's all on MangaDex anyway. Just finished the Rookie Champtionship fight with Mashiba, Ippo did a lot better than I remember. His fist got busted up but otherwise he took minimal damage. Several of his other fights turned into the now-stereotypical slugfests (his debut, Ozma), but Hayami got built up pretty high and Ippo more or less kicked his rear end:

:rock:

Also, forgot just how much dick is in early Ippo :flaccid:

Nah, she was already watching before that moment. It was probably just to make the counter more shocking.
