This is designed to just spin its wheels forever and let Morikawa milk it until he dies, you shouldn't expect anything to actually happen

Well with the unfortunate lifespans of Manga writers/artists he may not live too much longer.

Kumi will burst into the gym in dead eyed stare all save for Ippo will be terrified and beg for forgiveness, then Kumi will drag Ippo out and dead eye mutter about him getting her some Tacos al Pastor.

Smash cut to Volg being pasted on the floor, Ippo being so tunnel focused on helping is going to seriously injure Volg :laffo:

I do like how even Sendo just wanted to be attentive and see where Ippo is at after all this time

I guess there is also the possibility that Woli is good enough to pose a challenge to Ricardo but finally gets DQed for all the dumb poo poo he pulls

I'm not looking forward to Woli getting Apollo Creed-ed vs Ricardo.

Woli gonna get that bloodlust by biting a chunk of Ricardo's ear off, then screaming to him "My style is impetuous, my defense is impregnable, and I'm just ferocious. I want your heart, I want to eat your children!" :v:

How Rocky never got arrested when everyone around him was telling him to throw in the towel, Duke, included is a mystery. Plus I always expected there to have been a few deleted scenes of Duke trying to murder Rocky while they trained in Siberia/Canada.

Consider what thread you're in. After probably 80% of the fights in this manga there are multiple panels dedicated to the crowd talking up how good the loser was and applauding them out of the arena :bravo:

I mean, Rocky IV did come out 4 years before Hajime no Ippo started..........

Shindragon posted:

God Rocky 4 was so dumb.
Biggest bullshit is all the russians cheering for Rocky.

NOT only the Russian pro Drago crowd, THE loving RUSSIAN Boris Yeltsen stand in giving a standing ovation as well. :laffo:

Did Paulie marry the robot, if so was Auntie Robot babysitting the kids while Adrian flew all the way to Russia?

Is it even legal to run at your opponent full tilt sprint and just try and land a haymaker like that????? Cause I would imagine that kind of force would not only knock someone the gently caress out, but also do a really good job of shattering your own hand.

:stare:

Lol Wally gonna be so gassed.

Jiro
Jan 13, 2004

I do like the last few panels of Wally not doing anything but taunting Ricardo into doing something since it's very clearly laid out he prefers to download what his opponents do in order to just counter it. If Wally does nothing and Ricardo does nothing who will flinch first. In fact I hope this "do nothing" strategy goes so far to the last round that Ricardo gets desperate and HAS to finally make the first move since Wally's punch "technically" landed.

Or it hilariously goes to decision and judges are shown to be hilariously corrupt, like in real boxing :v: and award phantom punches to Ricardo to have him win again

Jiro
Jan 13, 2004

I want both fighters to be just standing there doing nothing for the entire fight for Wally since he doesn't want to give anything away and can just spam taunts, for Ricardo because he's hilariously stuck in wanting to figure his opponent's moveset out only not realizing how much time is left in each round.

Jiro
Jan 13, 2004

So Woli has thrown about 100 punches. He could just do nothing for the rest of the fight and he could win on scorecards alone.


Please have Ricardo so lost in thought that he does absolutely nothing.

that read to me more like they think the total number of punches over the entire fight is the scoring criteria.

I should have clarified that Woli has more punches thrown, and more punches landed on Ricardo.

Anyone, ANYONE who hated on Adrian deserved the electric chair

Who the hell hated Adrian???!!! Other than Pauly, who deserved to die in a Philly gutter, and or have his robot wife assassinate him before Rock leaves for Russia. At least when Stallone first wrote Adrian she communicates in a way he understands, a grown up normal person. And Talia Shire is a fantastic actress.

Kumi is just as culpable in not voicing her concerns, as much as Ippo is a moron for not saying what he really wants out of his professional life and personal aspiratios. Both characters of the manga are written at the whims of someone who obviously doesn't want them to talk like adults for dramatic tension purposes and comedic moments that play out as extremely dated tropes.

Here lies Ipoo, He Never Scored.

No seriously, break up with her and go to your true love, Sendo.

He's almost a decade older than Oda, I think the half-length chapters are understandable.

Ever since the news of Toriyama dying I would hope all the old timers actually take a pause and maybe rethink their work load. poo poo it didn't even happen when Miura died.
