Bisse posted:He doesn't need to "anime his way out of this", his opponent is literally on his last breath and unable to move his legs. He can win this easily just by not trying to dempsey, and that is likely what will happen. Either way it will be a massive loss for him because instead of a triumphant return this match is an embarrassment and a failure for him. Yeah, but even if Ippo wins because Guevara falls down from pure exhaustion/damage, how the gently caress would George write away Ippo clearly being punch drunk? There's no way he's gonna be able to write it off as "well Ippo is completely fine and all those blatant symptoms he's been showing are just poorly timed coincidences."

tbp posted:The mangas not in the 80s anymore iirc and the coach would turn from "bad old fashioned boxing coach" to "legitimately heinous criminal" if he allows ippo to keep boxing One quick wiki check says that it's currently January 1999 in the Ippo-verse.

Ippo going into the match knowing he's broken, but wanting to show the new dempsey before he would be forced to retire is so heart-breaking. Also, 1203 RAW is up: http://netabare.city/archives/6261

Drink Top posted:My real question is: How in the world did Takamura become such an incredible boxer? Are we to assume he's mostly a self taught prodigy that just humors/gets emotional support from Kamogawa? Well...yes. Kamogawa even admits this during the Battle of Hawk. All Takamura has ever really gotten for training was left jabs and footwork.

So, Chapter 1205 recently got leaked. To almost nobody's surprise, it was a complete gag fight that added nothing to Takamura's story progression.

Frabba posted:It's a more poorly drawn version of what Bryan Hawk would do. There's other examples in the fight of Wally doing Bryan Hawk's swayback that are clearly shown. The difference here is that Wally is swaying back while utilizing forward momentum. Oh, and because Wally is an OP boss character, he can also use Sendo's smash and Mashiba's flicker jabs. He wan't even taught them - they just came with his genius-level talent.

There's obviously going to be a timeskip, but will it be a timeskip just to show us some resolution to the other characters, or a timeskip so Ippo can pull a Date and come out of retirement?

It's still an illness I don't want to quit yet. We're up to chapter 1220. We haven't had an official translation since 1204. I think it's safe to say that almost everyone has given up on HnI.

Say what you want about how Morikawa's story direction, but the sound direction and impact of the animation can never be understated.That Works posted:The whole opening sequence of the Champion Road movie was badass, basically the ending of that same fight re-cut. That sequence still gives me chills. The slowdown on Sendo's face as Ippo is doing the Dempsey Roll is goddamn BRUTAL, as well as Sendo's bounce off the ring with the shockwave effect that really makes it clear just how devastating Ippo's punches really are.

The Notorious ZSB posted:They don't care about his brain trauma, mostly because next to no one knows about it. His mom, girl, and coaches know, but it's not like his press release on his retirement explained why. He basically just said "I'm done now, thanks for everything". Shouldn't anyone who saw his fight with Guevara have noticed the obvious? Even if you just excuse his problems with dodging and landing hits to having to fight a southpaw, Ippo was getting knocked down by grazes to his head.
