Needs more pictures, words and possibly homosexual undertones between Miyata and Ippo.

CROSS COUNTAAAAAAAAAAA. I'm inclined to call it at this point because I can't think of too much else that can be done. Miyata's ribs are done, his right is done, his left doesn't have any power left in it. Basically, if Randy gets up, Miyata is done barring one of the more ridiculous displays of FIGHTING SPIRIT.

I just think Miyata is a very boring character and wouldn't mind if he could never box again.

Echoing that sentiment. It's not like he only had enough for that last right, then did another SUPA COUNTA after it which he somehow went even further beyond the impossible (ROW ROW) and his ribs apparently disentegrated or anything, so it's not unjustifiable. But knowing my prediction track record, I doubt it.

Actually, he was done with that weight class after his RBJ fight right? Does that mean he could reach his full potential?

I think he was simply being used to set up that random punch on Sakaguchi.

Lets face facts, the arc was all Miyata, so we may as well have it finish with something for Miyata. The plus side is, of course, he's out of action for a while so we can see someone else in the spotlight for 100+ chapters.

I'm guessing that Mogli is something like Martinez's and Hawks bastard love child, so he's either going to dodge hits and we're going to see a awesome gently caress you dempsey roll moment, or he's going to minimize that tank shot to a nerf hit through moving his body to just barely dodge hits.

I hate coming up with these "it would be okay IF" scenarios, but the only way I'll really love this fight at this point is if woli throws every one of the past punches ippo has faced, and each time it hits ippo ippo goes "Too late, already felt that one before" and punches him so loving hard his jaw flies off and into the crowd and a guy in the crowd gets his eye poked and then ippo goes to prison for ruining a guys eye and comes out a year later with an even greater love for boxing and ASHITA NO JOE.

Liver punch, Smash, DEMPSEY would be the most hilarious thing Woli could do to Ippo though he'll probably just be Miyata and Hawks gay baby.

Pshhh, everyone knows Ippo's just gonna get punched around for another ten chapters or so until Woli gets freaked out by his tenacity, so then Woli makes a mistake, Ippo lands one punch and *KAPOW* they're suddenly equally hurt.

Then another five chapters of the deep, deep of determination of Ippo, then 3 chapters of Woli seeming like he's gonna pull it out, then another two chapters to set up the two page spread of Ippo mutilating Woli.

Then they become bosom buddies, funny scene about Ippo's penis, annnnnd back to training.

(Don't get me wrong, I'm still gonna read it all. But still...)

I hate that you're right. :sigh:

Shamo is great, but it's basically Kenichi + Berserk.

Which makes it amazing, but soul-crushing.

Also it's frozen right now at the tail end of pretty much the entire series (insofar as I can tell) while the author and artist duke it out in court. The manga is pretty good, and it has a movie too.

I tried reading Slam Dunk and just couldn't get into it. I can't find basketball interesting no matter how hard I try Eyeshield 21 is pretty cool, though, largely because of the variety of unique characters.

Try something like Kuroko no Basuke. It's about the same level of seriousness as Eyeshield 21 in terms of plays and such, i.e. over the top and maybe a bit embellished, but probably doable.

884: DON'T loving BOTHER

Raws out, and I don't think that needed any spoilers.

This does, though: If Ippo can last a few more brain shattering punches, he's managed to at least touch Woli again. I think we might see something retarded like a counter punch, or just a sacrificial blow.

I honestly believe Woli is going to overexert himself with his jumping around and nonstop punching. He will fall victim to his own style, and then it'll just be 6 taps from Ippo to topple him.

This is going to be worse than it sounds.

I badly, BADLY want to see Ippo lose this one. A bit of soul searching about the higher level of people he's going to fight and a poo poo ton of training (Grab... THIRTY leaves.) and then have him fight somebody else who isn't Woli, as well as setting up Woli in Miyata's place as Ippo's rival.

So it's really looking like Woli might lose due to injuring/tiring himself out? Excellent, then Ippo's parallel with the boxing career of Homer Simpson shall be complete.

I still maintain that Ippo is obviously based on Kazuyuki Fujita. :colbert:

Edit: Supposedly, what Kamogawa says on the final page is basically "the seal has been removed". I'm curious what Dempsey Roll 3.0 looks like. Is it just the same thing he used against Sawamura, but his joints can handle it now?

One can only hope it ends up with a IRON FIST DEMPSEY ROLL. Every bone in Woli's body is crushed and we never. EVER. have to see this fight again.

All Rounder Meguru, Kuroko No Basket, and Karate Shoukoushi Kohinata Minoru are my sports mangas of choice at present. Of those, either Kuroko or Minoru would compare well to Ippo, depending on how you do the comparisons. Kuroko has the hyper-specialized opponents of the week who eventually become somewhat buddies, but Minoru has the Takamura and Aoki/Kimura knockoffs.

This thing is weirdly infuriating.
It seems that the general message is "Karate is superior and if you do something else there's something very wrong with you"
Every other kind of martial arts is useless, and if you know Brazilian jujitsu you must be a gay rapist.

And they still recruit the rapist wtf

Amend to "Japan is superior and if you are from somewhere else there's something very wrong with you." and you basically have Ippo. Basically everyone from another country was a huge rear end in a top hat in one way or another barring Volg.

Seriously though Christ, with that going down, Aoki, Kimura and Itagaki still having fights in the series, Takamura still pursuing his ambition...this series could potentially be dragged out for like another 10 years. Obviously before Ippo challenges Martinez too he's going to be fighting more Western boxers.

Mr. Deathy posted:

It might come down to him not being able to think for himself well and only following strategies that Kamogawa has set for him, which are now predictable, so his weakness there being that he doesn't think for himself, he's too reliant on his coach, something like that.

The extension of that could be that he's memorized Ippo's timing, or possibly that he has a tell, much like in poker.

Everyone should just start reading RRR. Its nice reading something where the characters might have a chance at actual development

How about Tough? Sure the main character is somewhat of a Mary Sue, but at least the fights don't stretch into 5 chapter staring matches.

The thing is, the current slump is measured in years and years and years and years. At the point when the slump has a chance of eclipsing the the entire rest of the run, there is a serious problem beyond "Manga has run for a long time".

Yeah, I mean, look at Ippo's last few fights. Kojima, Wali, Gedo, Scratch J. Scratch J was decent, but beyond that, all crap. Gedo first rolled what, mid 700's? That's about 4 years, more or less.
