Mori took a vacation or something to do research, but that was a WHILE ago.
Yeah, its a bit of both. Author took time off for research and mangastream is waiting on translations. Per their website.
On the plus side, fully animated COCONUT PUNCH. Go watch.
'twas a very banal episode. Just Miyata plowing through cannon fodder, move along folks.
Head on over to SenManga and you can read the raws so far. Ippo is being a BAWSE in this fight.
Such a brutal KO. Medgoenâs daughter has creepy eyes.
Any idea how long for the subs?
Pfft. Looks like Ippo is blocking with his face as always in the manga.
Not a clue. By heading over there I found out that Baby Steps is behind 80+ chapters. Diamond no Ace is behind 200+ chapters, Addicted to Curry is behind 250+ chapters (and has been finished for quite a while), Fantasista is behind 300+ chapters, is already done and its sequel is already at 11 chapters. Area no Kishi is 150+ chapters behind as well.
Hell, all the major sports mangas aside from Haikyuu (2 chapters behind,) and Kuroko (being scanlated on time like Bleach/Naruto/and One Piece) are behind by at least 80+ chapters. So to me itâs surprising that Hajime no Ippo is barely 8 chapters behind.
Spoiler
I Was suprised that the plot didnt cause the nr.2 to break his fist because ippo blocked with his forehead.
That dude has a head made out of granite
Blocking with his head⌠is Ippo finally going to get brain damage?
Ippo has finally become a Master of Rocky Fu
Ippo shifted the point of impact forward, which nullified some of the punchâs damage, since Mexi-dude wasnât able to fully extend his arm. Go go manga hero reflexes!
It also looked like he flexed his neck like he did against Gedo I think.
Haha, Ippo using tricks from back in the day. Not sure how long blocking with your face will last.
yea, well at least we all know Alf has lost the fight. He will either lose from a broken or dislocated arm or a broken fist. It is smart what ippo did, I just hope if it is one of those things he relies on he actually will have lasting effects (punch drunk/brain damage. I just hope they donât make it like Alf is some chump though.
I donât think itâs that at all. Itâs simply that Ippo needed that kick in the nuts from Sendo to get his head back in the game. I think this is actually how strong Ippo is. Heâs gone from not eve being able to see Ricardoâs left, to being able to repeatedly dodge the number 2âs left in the world (often seen as being a carbon copy of Ricardo).
Just cuz its a copy doesnât mean its as good as the real thing. Just look at Dateâs Copy.
Not hating on Ippo or anything, but I think its too early for him to aim for Ricardo.
