The Hajime no Ippo (HnI) thread - Gazelle Punch Her in the Gut!

One Piece will end at 1,000. The creator already said that. Berserk I know nothing about, but should- I know. Maybe I’ll read that at work if I get banned next week.

I see Morikawa going past 1,000, is Ippo is supposedly two fights away from Martinez. On top of that, there are loose ends such as Mashiba and Itagaki. (Just have Saeki or Karasawa kill Itagaki please, make it easier) Then I’m guessing there will be an extra Gaiden for either Ippo-Miyata or Ippo-Sendo III. One of those will happen.

Yeah, I want RBJ to cave Miyata’s ribs in so bad as well.

:rofl:

did they just use footage from og ippo?!

nope. the first scene is the sanada fight but the rest are new scenes.

ippo-sendo 3…but honestly i cant see a 3…sendo doesnt seem like the type to go for the world…unless they fast forward a couple years.

well, sendo is gunning for martinez.

and ippo is barely ranked in the top 10. at least 5 fights before ippo can face martinez.

i didnt realize sendo was going for him. i doubt 5 fights though…not the way their hyping this apparently three way battle.

Sendo has a world ranking now as well- even if it’s a shitty one.

go down mutherfucker! someone go down! jesus.

sendo is fighting all the mexicans now. one of the reasons for sendo going on his beat down tour was getting better with his jab because all mexicans tend to have this crazy extension shoulder jabs. sendo will probably die as a martyr against martinez and help ippo realize that he has to go against martinez. at the moment ippo is more like a confused little schoolgirl not knowing what to do next. i don’t expect him to fight for the belt in the next 10 years.

i dont think i can follow this series til im 30. lol. i dunno…this mans gotta do sumtin big to make me follow him all the way to the mountain.

let’s just hope morikawa won’t die before the series ends. :rofl:

i think imma go veoh down the sendo saga. lol. shit is sooo much better than manga version.

anyone who knows japanese does hajime no ippo really mean fighting spirit or is it the first step? ive been looking for a japanese phrase to possibly get tattoo’d i was looking to possibly get sumtin martial arts related but fighting spirit seems like the best choice.

I don’t know too much Japanese, but I’m pretty sure Hajime no Ippo means “First Step.”

Roughly “ippo” means “one step” and hajime means “begin” so it’s a pun, you can read it either as “Ippo’s Beginning” or “Beginning of One Step” which is basically “First Step”.

why do they call it fighting spirit?

hahaha did anyone catch this the first time around…read what the sign says on the bottom panel

Because puns don’t translate well and they wanted a cooler name.

they translate all the puns even if they dont translate well. my reason was because of mayweather…as in floyd mayweather.

The scan translators translate everything, yeah. Not the same people as Geneon.

That’s just the name given to the North American release. It’s called Knockout in some other area (I forget which one). I like the name Fighting Spirit.

i do too…it really fits it hence i was tempted to get it tatooed.
