Godammit Morikawa! All these chapters, all this buildup only to show this! Even if Ippo does win, he cannot realistically continue his boxing career after this, and he surely can’t face…
And if by some retarded miracle that Morikawa is bluffing again, this would be the 4th time he’s done a bait and switch regarding Ippo’s health, which is horrible writing. He’s written himself into a corner. A lose-lose situation.
Hajime no Sendo, coming soon…
It was a joke. I mentioned the lose-lose in terms of storytelling for a reason. He’s worn out his “is he or isn’t he?” device to the point where he has to be conclusive. He may have dragged out certain plots in the past but this is descending into something much worse depending on what he chooses to do next.
Ashita no Ippo soon. Get hyped.
Miguel Zale saw this coming hundreds of chapters ago. I wonder if Ippo can still win this, even though at this point it won’t be a convincing one. Either way, his career is finished. All that’s left now is how this will all end. Wonder how Kumi and Ippo’s mom will react.
Seems to me Martinez is going to retire undefeated at this point. And you can forget about the Miyata-Ippo match if anyone was still hoping for it to happen.
That’s probably what he’s doing.
I seem to remember him doing something similar with Takamura and his eye.
Maybe Ippo is going to pull a Date/Martinez. He’ll retire, marry Kumi. Then 8 years later he’ll jump back into boxing, win the japanese title then make another world title push and win the championship.
How is morikawas health? He might want to end things on his own terms.
It’s over boys, if this ends like this and Berserk stays never ending, I will never trust anime/manga ever again.
Are they still doing the anime? They could diverge from the manga canon the way FMA did.
Hajime no Blue Balls.
Four new chapters up: http://readms.net/r/hajime_no_ippo/1199/4735/1
Damn man. That ending. I’m surprised Morikawa went this route. I wonder if this means the manga is wrapping up.
Fuck this series. I knew this shit was going to happen.
haha Take that you stupid fuckers that wanted to see the new dempesy so much that Ippo was going to throw away a sure fire way to win.
I feel sick :sad:
God damn.
Plot armor destroyed by vague illness of a writer.
I can’t even…
I almost didn’t finish that last chapter zzzzz
So, is this the end?
