I think Morikawa abandoned the time period a while ago but this is the first time it's been so obvious and actually integral to the story

Itagaki didn't upload it anywhere, but his sister did because she's gonna re-enter the Ippo-romance ring by being pro-him-boxing to try and edge out Kumi.

I can't believe he would be surprised if it went viral tho. I mean it's the former national champ who is supposedly retired and a current national champ about to have a world title fight?

yeah definitely. there's been little things ("too modern" taxis, laptops, etc.) but now it's a legit plot point. i kinda dig it.

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.

HnI in #metoo era would be Takamura in actual jail for multiple sexual assaults on Ippo and Sendo alone.

When did Ippo world have internet.
Remember when he previewed intel from his upcoming opponents from VHS tape copies of their previous matches

I only remember them EVER trading fight footage that way, somebody shows up with a shopping bag full of cassettes. That's why people are commenting on the Suddenly Smartphone world they seem to inhabit. I guess if they wanted to they could handwave it away as pro boxers being too busy/poor to keep up with technology so it makes sense to see it first from a teen like Itagaki.

I just remembered that Mashiba isn't just one weight class above Ippo but actually two.

A very Morikawa cliffhanger would be, Itagaki accidentally uploaded a dic pic and Takamura shared it to the world. Also happened to hit delete button on the video.

He didn’t know the manga had timeskipped past the 90’s into the early 2010’s where everything is viral.

Speaking of… is Morikawa just gonna ignore that he did that.

The recording starts after the anti-southpaw strategy, but Rosario may target learn to target Kumi to gently caress with Mashiba. If it comes to that (a kind of repeat of Sawamura) I think Ippo will be the one to do something about it outside of the ring.

But Rosario lives across the world and Mashiba is going to him I am pretty sure.

Laptops were pretty common as early as like 2000 though. The laptop I brought to college in 2004 wasn't that dissimilar from modern laptops in general appearance. IIRC smartphones (in the style Itagaki is using here) weren't much of a thing in Japan until the early 10s, which is a *way* bigger jump.
