I figure Ippo, RRR, AR Meguru, Karate something something Meguru, etc. can fill a thread. Lord knows Ippo alone can't.

No, the most natural thing in the world will happen. Rather than Itagaki disappearing, once they finish their zwee contest the two boxers will discover that the entire audience disappeared instead. HnI will become more meta than Bakuman.

Calling it- nothing changes the status quo in the foreseeable future because Morikawa doesn't give a gently caress.

Counterpoint: Woli is gone now. Itagaki has shown no signs of going away.

Rainbow Pony Deluxe posted:Good theory, but it doesn't explain Woli. It does, though? HnI has been going on for so long that volume sales are independent of quality. It would not matter if Ippo literally fought Goku, much less one more painful racist stereotype.

A good boxer can't really stand up to honest to god super powers. Well, not without help from their ghostly alter ego.

It doesn't really make much sense for them to continue as pros, but having either of them retire would change the status quo and we can't have that.

Mori has had a lot of time to change Woli was a southeast asian (malaysian, maybe?) who was good at boxing because he played with monkeys. Mori has not given up casual racism.

ippo needs to hook up with someone, anyone. dedicating his adult life to his moronic father figure with no room for any other relationships was pretty hosed up.

retired and listless ippo is way more interesting than having him be punched in the head 300 times per match. so naturally, he is going to come out of retirement despite what a terrible idea that is on every level.

kamogawa probably hasn't learned a drat thing and would be totally fine with ippo killing himself in the ring.
