Woli's first fight is still worse, because Ricardo isn't acting like a total moron like ippo was. He's at least trying to think of a way around Woli's bullshit and is playing it safe until he figures it out

FOR NOW

There's still plenty of time for it to get stupider!

How many more chapters/rounds do you think it's gonna be before Ricardo actually throws a punch

Another thousand or so

The idea that Wally can just keep zipping around the ring like a lunatic on speed for the entire match sounds, uh, pretty absurd, and he should probably be running out of steam.

But hey, not like nonsense hasn't happened before.

That should be put on top of the OP.

Edit: Screw it - we can make a new thread in celebration of Wally's imminent removal from the series, and put that in the new OP.

Seems like Morikawa wants to end Ippo soon while he's still able and has planned the ending out. Also some stuff in the rest of the thread about feeling as if he's not a proper mangaka until he's completed a series.

Oh, so in, like, 500 chapters???

Um excuse me the real overarching plot to HnI is Takamura's quest to conquer 6 weight classes. Ergo the manga is half over at most :eng101:

Ah, but Takamura explicitly was supposed to take it slow in the lower weight classes because it was further from his actual weight class.

So he'll speed up, which means the manga is, like, *uses rng* 3/4 over.

The full page spread is going to be Ricardo just no selling the smash, and Sendo being like "... gently caress I gotta use something else?"

Now I'm imagining a HnI live action US remake that somehow takes the world by storm and there's this vicious social media backlash about that BITCH Kumi who won't just gently caress off and let Ippo slowly kill himself on other people's fists :argh:

Remember the sparring hype when Wally copied Sendo and Volg’s moves and it’s oh man he’s gonna use all these techniques against Ricardo or try to copy him!

Actual match: he just jumps around like an idiot the whole match and gets destroyed without doing anything other than regular punching attempts

He DID use the Smash, though.
