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

http://readms.com/r/hajime_no_ippo/1036/2131/1

New chapter and its a standard chapter except

Spoiler

alfredo’s coach saying he has a bad habit when he fights. Sounds like another Ippo BS win is written

Can alfredo stop ippo’s music again? FIND OUT IN THE NEXT CHAPTER OF IPPO Z.

Wow, what a cut off of an ending, that’s not a cliffhanger, that’s the fucking end of the earth.

Seriously. I thought my internet broke when I clicked for the 14th page and nothing was there :C

It’s like the Morikawa is just writing out the fight for a volume, and just cuts the fight into tiny chunks.

I think there’s a page missing or something. There’s no way it ended there.

I think that (spoiler) is related to what Date-san pointed out watching his fight videos: Alf fights like Ricardo, but there’s a nasty streak that permeates his style.

Spoiler

If Ippo wins, it will be less him winning a fight that he shouldn’t, and more Alfredo losing a fight he should have won because he got too angry.

EDIT: I just checked; the RAW for 1036 is only 12 pages. Wow what a cliffhanger.

Whua??? What a shitty abrupt way to end a chapter!

Chapter 1037

Chapter 1038

Second chapter is pretty short. I wish George would just work on Ippo. Working on a second manga is insane.

Alf’s gonna have a godlike right. He’s #2 in the world for a reason.

Why is he working on two mangas? Does he just hate having free time?

Actually, I take back what I said. According to this, the new manga lasted five chapters. So unless he’s still working on it, I don’t know the reason for the short chapters.

Aaaaannd I’m sure Ippo will plot armor up and shit all over it in the most ridiculous way imaginable. I wonder what it will be? The “iron fist”, “the perfect punch” or will we witness a whole new form of bullshit?

He’ll unleash the Dempsey Steam Roll.

Yeah, plot armor is about to come full force. Ippo should not win, but he will win and it will be off of some bs of epic proportions.

Just like with ch I036, I should have stopped reading at ch 1037 and waited for a chapter with a more substantial page count before reading ch 1038. neither 1036 or 1038 read like they end on a cliff hanger, rather they seem to end so abrupt you think they are missing a page. It’s kinda killing my hype…

thx for the warning king9999, wish I listened.

I’m jonesing for a Ippo game and don’t have a wii, anyone played that PS2 game “Victorious Boxers 2: Fighting Spirit” or is there a newer Ippo game in the works? I was feeling that fan made one but doubt it will ever get a release and I don’t think there is anything for the last gen consoles…

Oddly enough, I played that PS2 game before I even knew what Ippo was, haha. It just got a good review somewhere and looked like fun, so I gave it a rent. I remember it being pretty fun, but that was years ago.

I own Victorious Boxers 2. I wrote a review for it years ago if you care to read it: http://www.gamespot.com/victorious-boxers-2-fighting-spirit/user-reviews/2200-504938

Damn, what’s with all the Ippo hate?

I hope he knocks Alf out.

Alfredo’s fatal flaw will be revealed…

The PSP game is Japanese only, but is more updated, and the disparity between the boxers is less ridiculous.

Except Martinez cause he’s bawse.
