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

Takamura will be your spiritual senpai. You wish you could be even remotely as great as him. But you will never achieve it.

Dude fought and ate a bear.

Real talk.

Get back to us in 7 years bruh.

I’ll make it 3 months…I’ll read 10 chapters a day and be caught up in a flash!

Fair warning, there are good times and bad.

You will learn to fear ‘Woli.’

As long as this doesn’t become like naruto it’s all good.

“Woli” is about as close to Naruto-stupid levels as this manga gets.

It’s bad, but it’s not THAT bad…

Watch the anime, and then go from there. It honestly isn’t too hard. The chapters don’t drag for too long IMO.

Don’t forget Gedo :lol:

I actually hated Gedo more than Woli. Dumbest gimmick that shouldn’t have even factored into the fight.

Woli damn near made me quit reading.

At least Naruto never made me want to quit. I have stopped taking the story seriously tho. I only read it so Kishi follows through with a proper HinataXNaruto ending.

Nope. I rage quit Naruto the minute Madara turned into a woman.

Fuck that shit.

With the 3 shows youd have the first 500~ chapters covered, so you could just go from there

What is the sequential order of the shows.

This might work out better for me.

Why did Kamogawa feel the need to suppress Ippo’s “killing intent” though. Most trainers go through hell trying to make their fighter reach that level of inner savagery.

See, that’s part of the problem. We saw what Ippo did to Kojima, and it was amazing. Kamogawa should be encouraging that shit.

Ippo’s problem is that he relies too much on Kamogawa, and Kamogawa’s problem is that he’s too rigid.

Because it’s the same reason why Alf almost lost this fight.

its cause hes got a kind heart and is a simple minded buffoon basically, Kamogawa knows he cant switch on the badass like Sendo can, or just consistently entertain a form of god mode like Takamura can, nope our boy Ippo can only reach the dizzingly fight IQ of a chimp and wing the rest of it with post olympic level training.

Hajime No Ippo>OVA>Mashiba OVA>New Challenger>Rising

Thanks man.

I now got my plan set…I’ll watch all the animes then continue from chapter 500 in the manga. I won’t have a free day untill friday which is when I’ll marathon the show. Gonna order myself some pizza, gather some refreshments and enjoy a nice evening of quality anime…well assuming this "Woli’ thing doesn’t ruin the series.

You don’t have to worry about Woli for ever and ever. He’s not in the anime.

Honestly, if you get that far, just feel free to skip the whole OBPF saga. It’s shit.
