Anyone else think that Ippo’s next opponent is reminiscent of Nick Bruiser from Super Punch Out?
I can’t believe they brought back Geromichi as some douchebag bald guy.
I want Ippo to straight up murder him and treat him like shit.
Good call. I would’ve never made that comparison! Punch-Out + Fighting Spirit = awesomeness.
since its barely 48hr old, but at least a year old in manga… and i like the tag functions way too much
ep9
Spoiler
Hammer Nao and his Gero Hook should own for a few rounds before Ippo gets serious
I’m hitting the manga to confirm.
Hey fireboy how far ahead of the anime are you?
How come everyone says “Gero” when it translates directly into “barf”? Which makes more sense to english speaking people.
Uh, Takamura’s shot at the world title if I recall.
Has the full version of the Last Alliance song came out yet?
ah… I think i can guesstimate what manga chapter the anime ep 9 starts in then.
wow you’re pretty far behind… if your in the 305-310 range i think that’s Sanada vs Ippo…
Sure you don’t want to watch HnI: Champion Road then pick up at ch 313?
A kind soul in here should totally make me a cool Mashiba premium avatar <3 I’ve spent all morning trying to find Mashiba source material and couldn’t find jack. I might have to grab screenclips from my DVDs :sad:

Nah - the light isn’t anything to do with Miyata. Randy gets a detached retina. Counter to the temple of that magnitude is bound to loosen your EYEBALL. 
Woot. Awesome. I’ve been waiting for this.
I’m just waiting for Miyata to say something like, “You have no chance of winning, you’re already dead.”
Then RBJ gets this shocked expression and his forehead swells and bursts like in Hokuto no Ken.
There’s two spoiler RAW pics for ch. 846. Yeah, I am done for good this time.
lol
i gotta wait at least for the full raw to judge.
Can’t wait for episode 10 of New Challenger.
HAMMER NAO looks like a beast fight for ippo. They really started the show off right with the Eiji Date vs Ricardo Martinez epic bout.
I can’t be bothered to read manga, YET, but I am SO GLAD the show is back on! Going to buy Japanese version of Fighting Spirit 2 soon.
Does anybody know of a PS Triple game in the workings?
Poor Date though. 
He was a fucking beast during that fight though.
I have downloaded some .MKV files that are supposedly subbed, but nothing shows up when I enable or disable the subtitles track. I need a better source.
I’m not down with all the lightning effects and shit.
FUCK.
Pissed at the spoiler pics too.
FUCK.
We were told, Miyata is out of gas, he only has 1 punch left, his ribs are broken etc, FUCK i feel cheated.
Anything by [Frostii] is good usually. Also, did you just watch for the subs in the opening or did you skip ahead to the actual episode? Some groups don’t sub the opening.
