I cannot believe Ippo managed to get me excited for a Wally Match.

But here I am.

Making a point of how much Woli loves to jump and flip around, things he'll definitely still be able to do after this match.

His coffin will be posthumously bouncing and flipping around during his funeral after Ricardo pulls a Drago vs Apollo.

First page of next chapter is Wally's casket being lowered into the ground, Ippo is still holding on to the stool.

Wally is his 22nd title defense, his current record is 69:nice:-0-0

So yeah, no way he's losing to a joke character :rip: Mogwai.

There would be riots in the streets if Woli became world champ, but if George's goal is to subvert expectations it's hard to argue a better way to do it :allears:

How do you do, fellow Regis?
I think this has been the most excited I've been about Ippo since... Ippo's last fight? It feels like the series has been spinning its wheels for a while. I want to see Ricardo absolutely murder Wally (literally) and bring Ippo out of retirement (though I think Sendo or Volg dying in the ring would have more impact on Ippo, rather than the Blanka guy he one inch punched a lot back in the day). If Wally somehow wins and takes the belt then the author will have pulled the ultimate troll move on the fans. "Remember that unbreakable samurai Japanese spirit nonsense? Nah, it's all about impossible techniques you learn from the jungle."

Thank U for reading

If you hated it...
FUCK U and never come back
Ippo's gonna get too worked up and accidentally kill Wally with the stool, then enter the ring himself to atone by beating Ricardo in Wally's stead

Wally pushes Ricardo hard enough that he unleashes his brutal side, ends up beating Wally bad enough that he retires from boxing and the manga permanently. Sendo gets fired up at this cuz he wants to face Ricardo's brutal side too, gets killed, and Ippo returns to the ring around 2026. He will still be a virgin

I just have to say, I love the ippo fandom. we've all been reading / watching it for so long, it feels like we really get each other. also we can make criticisms or jokes and nobody gets too upset. It's basically the perfect size fandom, where there's a good discussion for everything happening, without being so big that people overanalyze it or get really upset just for clicks. I've really been loving reading it lately, and the fans jokes always make me laugh.

i dont really get this sentiment ever. i like subverted expectations plenty, but there's a world of difference between ippo losing to alf and guevera versus woli somehow beating ricardo. it'd make a huge amount of the narrative's direction for over a thousand chapters just outrageously pointless for no real gain.

like if the only thing we're looking for is "i didn't expect what happened" then why note hope for a more wacky subversion then. maybe woli will pull out a gun and shoot ricardo, i sure wouldn't expect that

Except if he loses, it would be completely contrary to the themes that the story has trying to drill into the readers heads for hundreds of issues now.

I'm not sure what themes those are. The theme that Ricardo is strong? I assume that this fight will motivate Ippo to get back into the ring somehow, but that can happen any number of ways. I personally don't want a Wally final boss because it makes me want to throw up but everything fits as long as ippo fights again. Woli could loving die, Woli could come close, Woli could win causing Ippo to drop the baton and decide to fight entirely for himself, there isnt that much invested in Ippo and Ricardo's relationship and arguably the Date baggage is bad for him.

I think this fight will motivate Sendo to want to punch Ricardo even harder and then that fight will motivate Ippo to step back in the ring.

So say Woli beats Ricardo, Sendo beats Woli, Ippo fights Sendo? Would that be so bad?
