About loving time we got back to actual Ippo fighting. Good way to start out with showing off his 'experience'. Can only ramp up from here.

Is this going to be one of those stupid fights where Woli will magically know and end up using all of Ippo's previous opponents techniques?

Infinitum

I know, which means it's going to be drawn out as gently caress.

Goddammit, haven't we had enough of that style of poo poo?

I just want a fight where Ippo dominates the gently caress out of someone for a change.

"What's that? You wanna get in the ring with the CHAMP? Boy you must be crazy!"

It's out translated.

HOLY gently caress WE GET IT, WOLI IS REALLY GOOD.
It's like we've moved on from the pro boxers being impressed that he's a genius.
Now the crowd is impressed he's a genius.
Now the announcers are going to get in on it.
Then it'll be another chapter of the coaches discussing what a genius he is.
CAN WE MOVE ON WITH OUR LIVES NOW?

Can we get to the part where Ippo destroys him already? Because lord knows it's going to be 2 more chapters before he gets a hit in. If he gets saved by the bell in the next chapter.. so help me loving god..


It's becoming Dragonball Z: The Fighting.

What's the chapter with Ippo doing the tekken thing by smashing logs into the side of a hill with a hammer. Because I need some badass Ippo to get me off this poo poo.

Found the flashback chapter where Kamogawa was doing Tekken.

Need to find the one where Ippo is doing it, just to show exactly much he is going to gently caress up the Jungle boy in a chapter or so.

I'm honestly trying to think of a more boring & disappointing fight. I really am. poo poo I'd rather read an Aoki fight right about now.

Honestly whether it's Aoki's looking-away trick or Kimura's Dragonfish-uppercut-thingy, both of them are more interesting fights than this poo poo.

I can still see a Miyata Vs Ippo fight happening. From memory didn't Miyata get some super insane 'sharp' counter at the end of his last fight after he was incredibly exhausted? If he shaves off all his weight to fight Ippo he'll be in that 'sharp' counter mode constantly.
That'd be the only way I can see it being written in.

So is it safe to assume the editors have killed themselves rather than releasing a new chapter of this poo poo?

EDIT: Wait that was an air swing. gently caress this fight in the goddamn balls. We already know Ippo is ultra powerful.

I would cut a dude slack about this because trades of American comics are sometimes called this, and 9/10 of those are the same thing as volumes of manga: collections of a story arc

I know it is being a little pedantic about it, but this is ADTRW and not BSS. GN just confused a bunch of people. If not tankobon, call it a volume or collection. Generic enough.
Plus it's not even out translated in America :v:

And yes.. this is what we've been reduced to. Terminology arguing. Why this thread is now moving faster than the actual fight! :parrot:

878 Raw is out. Ippo pays attention this time and sees Woli gently caress him up while in the corner, and is almost KOed but is saved by the bell. Everyone is like :wtc: especially Itagaki. Kamogawa tells Ippo that Woli is like a million times better than him, but then again, but that's never stopped Ippo from winning before, except that one time. His orders are to switch to compact punches to push Woli around instead of big punches to stop him from being able to move, and Ippo realizes his best chance is to aim for simultaneous punches, which lends credence to anyone who believes Ippo will be punch drunk by the time he retires.

"Ippo. He's a genius at drawing things out!" or
"Oh that's what I was doing wrong! I should try punching!"

If this fight were an ice cream flavour, it'd be pralines and dick.

Oh look. Another chapter without Ippo landing a blow and getting his poo poo pushed in.

Gurren Lagann: THIS. loving. SHOW. :kamina::swoon:

Hajime No Ippo: THIS. loving. MANGA. :bang::suicide:

Honestly where did he go wrong. There is nothing interesting about this fight. He simply created some unassailable genius who is going to lose because his trainer told him to switch from his winning strategy that would have destroyed Ippo. Even AFTER he's switched to a boxing match instead of jumping all over the place he is absolutely wrecking Ippos poo poo in an INFIGHT where he is Grand King Poobah.
gently caress this entire fight.

Cannot wait till it's over.

After Ippo loses, he decides that boxing isn't for him and he goes on to run the fishing business which through determination and some luck becomes an empire thats sets him up for life. He sees Woli on television become a world champion, and he smiles -- his will passed along through the jungle boy.

The End

Epilogue: That was all a dream because he is brain damaged and has to be taken care of by his mother.

gently caress this fight and gently caress whoever thought it was a great idea to give demigod boxing powers to :smug:

I'm all cool with Woli as a CONCEPT, but they needed to build him up a hell of a lot more. It would have been a much better fight card if they built up Woli as this undefeated champion who has NEVER taken a hit and dropped the 'found him in the jungle, this is his 3rd match and he is my last son' sctick. Like still keep the 'no footage of monkey man' angle, but have him with like 60 fights in some underground arena and he's only just made his debut to the rest of the world instead of this unopposed genius.
Hell during the Bryan Hawk match you could have done some foreshadowing with a "You may have defeated Bryan, but my other son is now gunning for Ippo's title"

Then I could understand him being this smug little poo poo with a constant smile on his face. THEN it would be satisfying when Ippo finally starts pounding the crap out of him as opposed to "Oh Ippo finally got a hit in, maybe this fight will end soon."

All the Asian Champions have been fairly poo poo to be honest.
