im like half sure that the ages in the story are becoming more malleable as time goes on, because otherwise they're not going to make much sense soon. everyone would be older than the story wants them to be for the way that it's told, so i think mori's just gonna be pretty loose with how old the characters actually are from here on out

from here on out. Ippo would have had to have been doing like one title defense a month to still be as young as he's portrayed. There is a chronology on one of the fan wikis, says his pro debut against Oda was January 3, 1991, even in-manga dude should be pushing 30.

Some of the dates are obviously estimates, but according to the wiki from April 7 '94 to October 25 '97 Ippo defended his title 11 times. So I guess once every 4 months or so, which is more reasonable but still seems like a lot to maintain for 3.5 years straight.

I had to look up Togashi but yeah HXH and Berserk pacing is killer. At least Togashi has a descent excuse, being the author of one of the most popular mangas ever while being married to the same. Guy could walk into Jump HQ in Tokyo and take a poo poo on the CEO's desk and say 'print that, bitch' and the CEO would bow and say 'yes sir, should that be a color spread or...'

Still, I flip back and forth between having a steady stream of good-to-meh content VS sporadic but kickass chapters.

He definitely looks more sickly than he's typically drawn. Makes me wonder if that's why Takamura is in a rush.

Isn't it explicitly stated in one of his rants to Ippo that he wants to conquer the 6 weight classes while coach is still around to see it? I'm sure I remember hearing his motivation laid out directly like that...

Only way this gets wrapped up in our lifetimes, never mind Kamogawa's, is if Takamaru gets anime-powered up to latter-day Bleach levels and the rest of his title fights go like:

Mahjong may as well be Bridge for how much I understand about how its played, but isn't being good at it basically Japanese shorthand for being smart or at least tactically minded or calculating? Like Chess to American audiences?

Yeah, but wasn't she just internally monologuing about how Ippo seems "fine" now, but that there was something missing from the way he was before? Assuming I'm not making that up it wouldn't surprise me if he continues to resist going active again and it's her support/blessing that pushes him over the edge.

He already did that. It called a forehead block.

Isn't that literally his first fight in the Pro test? Or was that the guy who was throwing fouls like intentional foreheading and Ippo decided that was fine as long as he knew it was coming and could just tank it with his own skull?

In fact, isn't it his very first fight in the manga VS Miyata where he survives a counter by jumping into it so it doesn't have as much power, like Sean Connery charging that torpedo in Hunt for Red October?

I mean.............. does anyone in or out of universe really consider them to be in contention for a belt? I guess Kimura took a shot once but he hasn't done dick since.

Yeah it was a few issues ago but Keith noted that he'd never throw out those huge lefts specifically because they left him wide open, and was only doing so because he thought Takamura couldn't deal with them. But I agreed that is a pretty weak strategy/conclusion to a World title bout.

Yeah, and it wasn't like a sudden thing since we didn't know who the character was then. But that was the 3rd fight in a series of Indian/Pacific fighters that everyone thought were all the low points of the entire series. By that time Ippo had been defending his Japanese title for like 20 loving fights and we were all sick of it.

So it wasn't a big thread reaction to a specific chapter, just a continual downward slide into complaining and wondering why we were all still even reading it at that point for a few years :smith:

Would be a very different manga if Ippo's attitude had been modeled closer to Mike's. At one point there was a supercut of most of Tyson's pro fights on Youtube and for the first dozen or so he literally just ran across the ring and started punching the other guy as soon as the bell rang. Apparently this was a novel strategy at the time because they looked surprised as hell every time and it just kept working. IIRC, his first 10 fights were 1RKOs, with his 11th being a KO like 5 seconds into R2. Every fight should be the Sendo title fight: bell ring -> Dempsy Roll :getin:

Yeah was about to say, there's tons of decision fights but that's just used to smash cut to the end so people don't feel like they missed something interesting with a KO. And we do see a good bit of the Volg/Sendo title fight, though not in as much detail as a 'regular' Ippo bout.

I've been reading that Korean The Boxer webcomic that was posted earlier. It's pretty good, a lot more anime than Ippo but it's also moving a hell of a lot faster so an already invincible boxer morphing into an awakened Evangelion during his first title match is a fair price to pay. Also I am LOVING the completely alien censoring rules it seems to follow. Swearing and blood are A-OK but things like knife blades are pixelated. Really having a hard time deciding what benefit that's supposed to provide. Maybe I'll step outside and have a smoke, that sweet clean tobacco will clear my head and help me think...

That's actually something I think is great about Ippo in general. You'll get moments like Ippo literally punching someone's guts out, but it's clear in the next panel that it's just a visual metaphor and not meant to be representative of what's actually going on.

I still wouldn't call it "realistic" but on a spectrum where Slam Dunk is on one end and Prince of Tennis is on the other, Ippo is closer to Slam Dunk
