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

Dempsey smash is gonna be great

lmfao glad to see im not the only one who thought that was a nutshot.

Chapter 1146 http://readms.com/r/hajime_no_ippo/1146/3525/1

da fuck. why this nigga stay hatin on ippo lol.

He has yet to cross that line…

It’s actually sad. Takamura cares a lot for the coach. A lot. If you remember, one of his previous fights was against someone who disrespected the coach. The dude hit the coach if I recall. That cut Takamura deep. He’ll never state it out right, but it does pain Takamura to see the coach even WORRIED about any of his boxers. Takamura wants the coach happy and keeping his head high. It’s the same reason why they did that panel with Ippo on the mat. Takamura is heavily against seeing the coach in pain or distraught about anything. Remember, Takamura isn’t just trying to collect belts for himself, he’s also doing it to make the coach happy. That’s why he said he’ll keep on winning/bringing in belts.

Yo Coach planted a seed in Ippo!

Not to Kumi’s lovebox.

I just want to see Ippo do a Tatsu twirl with his fist.

Alright time for this dude to start throwing those cinder blocks for real.

ippo gonna be charged with murder

Coach got his piece out, dunno who but somebody gonna go to jail tonight.

I like how the chapter got Ippo back with some confidence but its not really a huge leap in technique since this has been boiling for a good while now, need a good heel in a tune up fight to get a fire lit under his ass again.

Ippo has his confidence back with the technique, but still lacking the necessary bloodthirstiness. I’m still trying to think of a believable scenario where he will activate the fury on a consistent basis.

lol At Kamogawa never wanting to be happy in fear it might lead to complacency I guess.

Meanwhile, poor world champ Takamura is probably training solo…

The key might be Kumi. Going the Date way trying to impress her. She doesnt like boxing. Ippo can possibly change that.

That new Dempsey looks beautiful, but that line still needs crossing. I really love Morikawa’s dynamic illustrations, he really knows how to show motion through anatomy.

We need to start seeing some story arcs wrapped up. Aoki and Kimura need to be finished, they’ve been contemplating retirement since the 90s. Manabu and Imai shouldn’t even exist, it’s just a weak rehash of the Ippo VS Miyata storyline. Sendo needs to get wrecked by Martinez, and have his storyline come to a close. It’s that or he fights Ippo again and frankly I don’t want Sendo to go out 0-3 against Ippo to end his boxing career. Let him finish fighting the best. I wish Miyata would just stop showing up since he’s clearly the authors favorite and any fight with him is a foregone conclusion. Gonzales is probably going to job to him, sad to say. At any rate it’s time to start cutting off the excess flab in this manga, just what I listed is way too much, and I didn’t even cover Mashiba or Takamura. The only character that’s had a resolved story arc after 1100+ chapters is Volg.

Max Elephant Ippo. Always hype when it happens.

Lol I loved how Takamura responded to those punks.

Based on the focus on these noobs they might become mainstays, which is crazy considering how much stuff Morikawa is already juggling.
