There should be a special bonus match. emo overpowered pretty boy showdown: Miyata vs. Sasuke. Loser banished to filler arcs in Naruto.
They need to extend the anime for sure. Iâve never been a manga reader, so I havenât been able to follow HnI past the OVA sadly
For the people who havenât read the manga after the anime ended, January is the start of the new season of HnI so not long for the wait.
As for Miyata vs Randy, Miyata is a counter puncher so as soon as Randy stops attacking wildly like an idiot, Miyataâs offensive will get shut down. Thatâs how it always happens since Miyataâs style is basically to annoy you and force you to chase him so he can counter you and the Jolt is like his do or die counter. He has to counter a powerful blow and next chapter is all but guaranteed to show Miyata getting knocked in the head while attempting to Jolt Randyâs ass. Thereâs no such thing as a one-sided match when both characters have a backstory in HnI, we should all know this by now. That and Thai people are cannon fodder for leveling up.
Iâm taking a break from the manga I read till 550 or so and now Iâm at the part where the two new rookies will fight. A bit boring imo since I donât really care about them so yaâŚ
Ippo needs to upgrade his dempsy roll so he doesnât have to get stuffed while figure eighting the air. I foresee Gazelle Rolls where he bats opponents side to side and uppercuts them randomly out of the ring.
So Sendo v. Ippo werenât good fights? Vorg v. Ippo was good, Jason v. Ippo was good, too.
Hell, all of them were good almost.
Miyata made Ippo gay. Thatâs why he needs to die in a fire.
Yeah I donât know much beyond the OVAs of the anime. Should I start the manga from the beginning or just start after the Sendo vs Ippo 2 fight?
Have you guys played the games before? Victorious Boxers 2 for PS2 is a really good game.Only cost 10 dollars, but you have to buy it online. Victorious Boxers for the wii was a big disappointment though.
Played the PSP version of Victorious Boxers which is the exact same version as itâs PS2 counterpart.
I couldnât get into it as much as I thought I couldâve.
âŚyears later i canât beat the fucking bear in that fucking ippo game for the ps2.
Hmm I used to lurk the westboard forums til i forgot about it or got bored or tired of the people on there, are there raws posted there?
Randy using static? I seriously hope its not something gimmicky, I was genuinely hoping that Randy was just a good boxer w/o a crazy ass sunday punch.
Morikawa is defintely setting us up for something with this fight that relates to ippo, but damn, i really wish heâd speed things along once in a while and not move at a snails pace.
I own VB2, and it is indeed a great game. I wrote this review for it last year: http://www.gamespot.com/ps2/sports/hajimenoippoallstars/player_review.html?id=430950
I would start reading the manga after Ippo v. Sendo 2 if youâve seen the anime and OVAs. You could read the manga from the beginning, but then youâd have to put up with (IMO) bad art. Seriously, the manga in its early days is pretty ugly-looking.
Iâm glad you guys started this thread. Iâm so excited about the new season of the anime.
I bet Miyataâs Jolt is gonna be shut down on the first try because Randy Secretly switched to South-paw and Miyata misjudged the counter range or something. I honestly donât care who wins the fight.
What I want to see in the manga:
Itâs time for Takamura to move up and take the next weight class. I bet America is running out of Boxerâs with Bird names though. Takamura sure likes to make animals suffer.
Sendo Gaiden should continue a little bit further. I liked it.
Takamuraâs backstory needs some fleshing out too. Heâs a great character and I would rather see him than Miyata.
Itagaki needs a good fight. Heâs too broken for his rank and he needs to be placed in a fair fight.
Ippo needs to find a woman and confess to her. Itâs too convenient that everytime he announces his love, something unfortunate happens.
show needs more sendoâŚfuck ippoâŚsendo steals the fucking show.
Youâll get more Sendo later =p
i hate seeing kimura loose. He always seems to fall short at the end or has the upper hand and makes one fuck up that screws the whole match.
I would also like to see Myata lose to Randy so he can fight Ippo.
And what is with Ippos dad? anyone figure that shit out?
Not exactly shut down, but yes switching stances did screw Miyata up big time, and opened the door for the comeback. I like RBJ a lot better than Miyata. In just one chapter the guy becomes more likeable than this emo douche has been for 80 some odd volumes. How can you not root for RBJ knowing his backstory? Of course since he is not Japanese, and they are all so ridiculous xenophobic, RBJ is doomed to lose. I think so far we only have 3 non-Jap wins in the entire manga: Martinez over Date II, Miyata toâŚsomebody, where it was played up as BS decision and he was supposed to win anywayâŚandâŚuhâŚwell, there are those ties against Aokimura, if you combine them maybe thatâs a win I dunno, not really I guess.
As for your last thought, Iâm glad Ippo doesnât dwell on that stuff. If you need to read that crap in a manga, go read one of the millions of chick-type mangas out there. Pretty much everything EXCEPT ippo is full of that stuff. It takes forever to get chapters out in the first place, I donât want to spend 3 months seeing Ippo court and then marry Kumi. Although Mashiba will probably have to die or something first.
I would breeze through the beginning just to find all the stuff the anime missed. Then continue til the current chapter. Youâre gonna love the Takamura/Aokimura/his girl love scene on the beach⌠Greatest moment in manga history ever!!!
Actually, if you played VB1/2, you can see that the Fight Night games ripped their fighting engine. VB games were boss.
You must have hated the Kimura v. Mashiba match. :shake:
As for Ippoâs dadâŚ
Ippoâs dad
Spoiler
He was lost out at sea, presumed dead.
thatâs not was i was trying to say. lallapalooza is still my favorite fight in the entire series. still you can not deny that takamura vs hawk/eagle, ippo vs sawamura, sawamura vs mashiba are fights that are one of the best which werenât shown in the anime.
what i am really looking forward in the second season is the kamogawa/nekota arc.
and sendo is definitely stealing the show. naniwa tiger is in da house.:3p:
