There was a beach trip with Aoki and his girlfriend during the Bryan Hawk preparatory period. So that like 25 years ago?

Can't tell if we're heading towards a dark passenger / Jojo setup or something internal being unleashed like a 9 tail demon fox 🦊

mashibas development into an honorable man is cool. mori's always treated him narratively with respect i think, even when he "cheated" against miyata it was framed as a manifestation of his desire to win for kumi rather than a personal failing. but especially in the last few hundred chapters i like that he's sort of actualizing himself

I'm rereading the beginning of the manga (or maybe reading it for the first time? I may have only watched the anime of the beginning), and a couple things I've noticed: 1. Ippo is absolutely in love with Miyata. When his mom advises him to think of his opponent as having a fish's head, Ippo looks at Miyata and is like "there's no way I could imagine such a handsome man with the head of a fish!" It's also downright comical how, after the big "I challenge you in the future once we're pros!" seen with Ippo and Miyata, literally like a decade+ passes and it still hasn't happened. 2. https://mangadex.org/chapter/e2136523-346a-48ea-bf33-f1e2a321a5e9/16 This page was actually interesting, because I had constant stomach pain for around 24 hours a while back (almost went to the ER, since it was a weird sort of constant dull burning) and I arrived at the exact same solution as Takamura here as a way to reduce the pain (in my case laying face down on top of a pillow). Something about the sensation of pressure helped to distract from the discomfort

Doesn't really provide more context on his mindset earlier on but it does emphasize it. He really had a rough time with adults jerking him around. Poor guy.

Would be surprised if any character has more than a fight left. Maybe some will get 2.

Ytlaya posted:I'm rereading the beginning of the manga (or maybe reading it for the first time? I may have only watched the anime of the beginning), and a couple things I've noticed: I've actually just started watching the anime for the first time, having read the manga multiple times over at this point. I used to think that watching the anime after reading the manga was just a waste of time, I was extremely wrong, especially with this manga. It's been fun revisiting all the old fights and actually seeing them in animation with jet plane noises and an amazing soundtrack. The coach is really bad, my memory was that he was more useful early on and then things got sillier as time went on. But then I watched him throw rocks at Ippo to train him for Hayami's shotgun, thankfully Takamura and Kimura are there to take him to the beach and teach him how to sway and use his toes. It's interesting to note that a lot of the time it's Ippo or someone else coming up with ideas rather than the coach preparing him properly. Also I don't know if early Mashiba is really consistent with how he's being shown in this flashback. He's definitely got a sadistic side that shows up early when he's in no sort of threat and he seems pretty accepting of that side of him. I also remembered him cheating more, but outside of stepping on Miyata's foot he hasn't done anything. He didn't even do anything dirty in his fight with Ippo. I think the anime also introduces Kumi a lot earlier than the manga, Ippo is just immediately smitten by her just riding a bike past him. The way he acts around Kumi and the way he acts around Miyata belong in different series.

No Mashiba lost that fight because he got dq'd for too much fouling (kind of arbitrary since they were both fouling like crazy) and sawamura retired because he went for a bike ride with a concussion, Mashiba is gonna kill this man, he's gonna punch his head so hard his hair turns normal

Don't remember them stopping that fight either but it's been decades since I've seen the middle chapters of Ippo so that isn't surprising. Everything from Hawk to a couple of years ago is a blur.

Mashiba got back into fighting shape first, and attacked Sawamura before Sawamura could properly take his fighting pose and the ref said it could continue, even pushing the ref out of the way when he was told to stop, then beating on Sawamura until Sawamura fell out of the ring.

Early manga Miyata is very funny looking - https://mangadex.org/chapter/a015d470-de68-4742-bdcd-69865b8e4b0f/14 edit: Also Mashiba looks like a completely different person https://mangadex.org/chapter/a015d470-de68-4742-bdcd-69865b8e4b0f/16

The next page on that mashiba link showed me why I was so sure Miyata was rich, and not a 7-11 clerk.

One other kind of weird/interesting thing about early Ippo is that Ippo himself is basically presented as a complete prodigy at boxing, who almost instantly picks up all skills he is exposed to. Later we learn to think of Ippo as just pushing through damage with his grit until he can make one of his devastating punches connect, but in his second fight with Miyata there's a lot of focus on how fast Ippo's attacks are, with Miyata having trouble avoiding them. And Ippo ends up winning with just 3 months of practice, which is completely nuts. I choose to interpret this as "early Ippo who is mostly learning from Takamura progresses rapidly in leaps and bounds, and then he starts to stagnate under Kamogawa's terrible instruction." edit: lmao Kamogawa sucks so much. I'm reading the fight against Kobashi (the second Rookie King tournament fight) and Kobashi is leading Ippo around and draining his stamina. Kamogawa goes "just keep throwing out those punches!", causing Ippo to just do the same thing again and get owned. Kamogawa then...throws some ice water on Ippo's dick. Ippo literally only wins because Kobashi suddenly got dumb and decided to abandon his strategy to win on points (kinda reminds me of the Gonzalez fight where the only reason Ippo even put up a fight was because Gonzalez suddenly decided to brawl it out).

Kobashi had so much fun using Ippo as a sandbag that he permanently changed his boxing style

Kobashi is one of my favourite little dudes too - just throwing out little lovely punches and clinching so you never get a good rhythm going

To connect early Ippo with current Ippo, Hayami is a weird character. Takamura is super impressed by him when they first see him fight, and even says he's better than Miyata in many ways. But after losing to Ippo, Hayami just eats poo poo and loses like 10 times in a row and is still going at it (and losing) in the present. The recent-ish thing of him showing up was kind of interesting. I guess it was meant as a juxtaposition between Ippo retiring while Hayami is still motivated despite being doomed and losing constantly. Also, I completely forgot that Kobashi briefly became Japanese champion in a different weight class (where he beat Hayami lol).
