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

Not sure how Ippo can win without the Legendary Plot Armor of Plotness.

OMG, the background in page 11 had me dying for some reason. That impending DOOM :rofl:

In my head this manga will be forever narrated by Cyclopes…

Mexican dude just stopped Ippo’s music.

Oh shit Gonzalez just trolled Ippo by tapping his fucking arm, this better not be the start of some fucking 5 episode analysis of a gimmick like that bald dude and his unlaced gloves i swear to fucking god!

yeah and correct me if i’m wrong, but isn’t ippo released in a shonen mag? honestly, dick/gag jokes are one thing but do you honestly expect the main character (who is also super proper/shy/etc) to fuck some broad? sure it’s unrealistic at this point in real life, but give it a rest. it’s a fucking boy’s manga, try not to get too offended that ippo isn’t fucking kumi and another few hundred groupies he should have given his career and title defense matches.

edit: perhaps you dudes just forgot about when ippo took a clean one to the head and almost lost to that scrub, broke handed boxer. then him recovering via single big toe balance and punching the dude so hard he pinwheeled and lost his memory. something tells me that the “parry” of ippos left and the followup won’t be nearly as damaging as broke hands punch.

i expect ippo to take some damage (duh), but rofl this mexican’s face and body off.

lmfao mexican steve fox parried that ish and said “dont bring that weak shit in here”

lol @ calling ricardo’s combot, steve fox.

i guess nobody remembers that martinez himself said, “should have told him to watch out for that kid with the dempsy.”

ippo is going to scrape this fuck.

Mexican Steve Fox doesn’t have to wreck Makunouchi. He can just win by points and use dat dere sharpshooting and make him look like panda and punish Ippo when he whiff stuff, kinda like Cable with drone assist whereas Ippo is Mag/Tron/Psy

I agree with @namingway. When da gawd Martinez said he should have told Alfredo to watch out for Ippo, it was foreshadowing.

Ippo may not be on Ricardo’s level, but he should have enough in the tank to knock out the Ditto that use Transform on Ricardo’s style… and it will give Ippo enough experience to not get rofl-stomped when he meets Martinez.

IPPO SHALL LEVEL UP!!!

real talk, ippo is going to land a rocket punch on the uppity little machismo chode. alfredo gonna turn into Crumpelstiltskin™.

What, plenty of chars in shonen are married and have kids. Yeah we don’t need to see it happen “on screen” but he’s being a bit too screwy on it. I don’t need them to talk about having sex, but I would prefer he gets married and then a kid, that looks like him mind you, pops out.

Either that or just don’t waste any chapters at all on it. If you’re going to waste chapters on him pursuing the relationship let him have it. If you don’t want it in your manga don’t even bother with it. As it is, the problem people have is the wasted chapters. People want to see plot development and resolution, they don’t want a lot of wasted time/filler.

This is the same manga with Takamura in it, a dude that pulled down Ippos trousers infront of a couple of chicks and then proceeded to bang them after Ippo runs for it. Also any time they are in Takamuras appartment, some seedy shit always goes down.

i can’t think of any main shonen (manga) characters that are married and have children, can you give me a few examples? not trying to be an ass, just none come to mind.

while i wouldn’t mind ippo finally getting some meat pocket action, i think it would be kind of weird at this point given how long it’s been going on (going on meaning not actually making relationship progress). then again, watch ippo crush ricardo jr and then smash kumi shortly after to show how much he’s “grown”.

lol

edit: also, the reason i think the author is keeping the relationship around is simply due to the draw it has for some readers. if kumi just stopped being in the manga then we’d end up losing mashiba as well (most likely) and i’m sure people would be upset since so many people want to see ippo lay the pipe.

The closest Ippo got to action was with the doctor who rehab his hand. Ill never forget him getting wood then proceed to rekkaken his dick, hes never got that reaction off anybody so far, also chronos sister/kumi/news reporter also are gonna have some battle royale over that elephant penis sooner or later. Ippo is just keeping his options open tbh until he takes the world title.

Goku, Vegeta, Gohan :stuck_out_tongue:

I liked that doctor character. She was cool. I had always hoped that they’d bring her back to work some sort of medical miracle to get Sawamura back in the ring, but I guess that would be too much.

I mean, it’s not like guys are tri-jumping off of ring ropes and hitting dudes with Dhalsim-stretch punches or anything…

has anyone won by points in this manga?

Half of Aoki and Kimura fights lol
