ippo being a world class level southpaw..the death stare..it's all so good

edit: considering how poo poo everything about Ippo was when he retired, everything the story has done since his retirement has been amazing. I really hope when he returns to boxing, he doesn't turn back into some sort of boxing bag.

He should be champ in no time, just needs to stay away from that awful Kamogawa man.

The comic has been so good post-retirement that I'm worried that, once Ippo inevitably starts boxing again, he'll still devolve into being a punching bag again (maybe after 1 comeback match where gets to destroy his opponent).

I'll just hope for the best.

Waiting for the other shoe to drop. He hasn't even taken a single clean hit yet, there's no way he gets to (relatively) effortlessly steamroll his first world title match. Rosario has to rally back at some point.

Ippo truly is kamogawa's finest pupil. Takamura might be the baddest guy on the block, but Ippo is the true inheritor of his spirt (but thankfully not his brains since coach's brain only considers taking a beating for brain damage).

The ref tries to stop the match after Rosario pulls the gun*, but Mashiba insists on continuing - he will defeat Rosario on Rosario's terms to prove himself the true victor. Rosario begins to reluctantly respect Mashiba because of this.

Mashiba evolves his flicker jab to the next level, to deal with the speed of bullets.

* it's revealed that this is how Rosario won his other matches, since guns are allowed in other countries - it is only in Japaness boxing that they are against the rules

As any seasoned Ippo fan, I'm sure everyone already has their own library of Ippo anime episodes on their computer somewhere.
But for those that don't, the entire first series got added to netflix. The first 76 episodes. Don't think the movie is included.
If anyone wants to rewatch the glory days and still has netflix.

I assume Morikawa and his editors talked it over years ago and decided this is preferable for whatever reason. Maybe a certain number of people buy the magazine mostly for Ippo and they don't want to lose sales.

Fun fact: Ippo is the longest-running series in Weekly Shonen Magazine by 14 years. 27 years if not for the second-longest, Ahiru no Sora.

I hope the entire match actually just stays one sided the whole time and he’s unceremoniously beaten down like it’s a takamura fight. And at the end it’s like “everything ippo said and his strategy was 100% correct”
