i think it's fun to watch the development from "just let Ippo stay retired" to "bring him BACK" after seeing how he'll actually he changing from the boring as sin matches he had pre-retirement.

It also be fun if instead of slogging thru his matches, he just dominate no contest his first few return matches. Have him go against Itakagi’s old rival and beat him in one round

He just casually open-palm parried the White Fang, his return match should be a complete jobber. Just gets completely underestimated and dismissed as a washed up has-been and then

I was trying to remember what the last jobber match Ippo had was and my first thought was Karasawa, the guy who tried to train his abs to take Ippo punches, but I forgot about Kojima, his last victory, the guy who tried to grit his teeth and take a punch from Ippo. That fight was 400 chapters ago, in 2011. The point I was gonna make was that it feels like fans have been salivating for a jobber fight for a long time. I think I'm still kinda right even though that was just 3 fights ago. Rubellavator fucked around with this message at 17:34 on Aug 28, 2023 |

He might get one or two cool matches after coming back, but then he'll revert to old habits, mark my words.

the best part of itagaki is when he's like an Actual For Real rear end in a top hat

itagakis always been kind of a prick. way more than the ippo/aoki/kimura group

all outfighters in general, are pricks

For a while it kinda seemed like Morikawa was setting up an eventual fight between Itagaki and Ippo, but then Imai humbled his rear end.
|
# ? Aug 29, 2023 01:20 |
i think it's still going to happen. itagaki's going to break out of his slump right when ippo's on actual track to get back into the ring, rise meteorically, and challenge ippo to a match of pride right before he's going back onto the world stage

I was thinking it would be cool to show Ippo's growth by having him fight a fast outboxer and win without using his patented "dive in and keep using your head as a shield until you can land a big punch". Like he could actually adopt a strategy to bait out a certain punch and crush the guy with a counter. Using Itagaki as that cannon fodder would just be cruel though.

Isn't Itagaki still at KBG? They wouldn't be able to have a ranked match. Now if they were to work up some big official sparring match like Ippo V Miyata 1 and 2...

God when he starts boxing again he is gonna be a monster now that he's actually like learning how to actually box.

lol, Ippos gonna be able to box just as well southpaw as regular and can adjust on what will do best against the other boxer when he fights again. can they make a new anime season and just start off like before sparring Volg again.. GateOfD fucked around with this message at 19:38 on Sep 5, 2023 |

Just Mr. Miyagi-ing himself into becoming the greatest boxer ever.

I wonder if Morikawa realizes the irony that Ippo's most significant periods of growth have been explicitly without the Coach.

Ippo recreating my childhood experience of hitting a rubber object (basketball for me) with a metal club (baseball bat for me) and having it bounce off and smack me in the face. Only in my case it gave me a giant black eye.

Can't wait to see Mashiba's face when Ippo shows up wanting to be his sparring partner.

She's lucky because just the basketball hit her. I had my friend toss me a basketball, which I tried to hit like a baseball. The ball ended up heading more straight towards my face, and I tried to hit it from that angle, causing the actual bat itself and bounce into my face.

this chapter really reminded me of old Ippo, where Ippo was given one specific thing to practice for and you'd see him just training his rear end off to get it just right. I had the montage music from the old anime playing in my head the whole time
