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

Yeah, str[e]ak also made me an av of that stance. I plan on rocking out both of them before my prem runs outs. =/

I have a feeling Ippo’s next opponent is just gonna be someone that can move like a monkey and thats about it. Ippo is gonna get him good.

I’m actually hoping for Ippo/Sendo III

Is Ippo anywhere near a title match yet in the manga?

he’s pretty close to get number 1 in the opbf ranking.

Seems like no one cares about subbing Ep 25 after the Hawk/Taka battle blew its load. Lazy subbers >:|

I’m hoping to see a match with Sendo in general.

Miyata vs. Sendo would be my preference. That way we can see Miyata risk his career to a really powerful boxer, and we also get a taste to see how far Sendo has progressed as a boxer. On top of that, we’d also get a chance to see the outboxer vs. infighter match up. It would almost be the same as seeing Ippo vs. Miyata, except the Jolt vs. the Smash would be pretty freaking epic.

I don’t know man, they have been slow, but I think its due to the fact that we now get to see Itagaki’s family. If I remember correctly they like to use puns alot which may slow down the translators a little. They may not want for the viewer to go ā€œWTF are they laughing at?:confused:ā€ in their ā€œdiningā€ scenes.

also, aside from the Sawamura fight, I thought the fight with Shimambukuro(spelling butchered) was pretty badass.

I’m hearing something about how Ep25 is skipping an entire arc from the manga. Anyone know what is missing?

probably what Sousuke stated above, well, read post 1225. :stuck_out_tongue:

Also, I’m probably the only person who thinks all of sendo’s fights are ā€œmehā€. I just don’t think he’s a real stand out character. Not to say I don’t like him, but I didn’t exactly look forward to his fights. I honestly would love a Mashiba/Kimura rematch, thats the closest I’ve ever came to shedding a tear over a manga, I was choked up, nothings topped that for me since, shot them both up serious ranks on my favorites list.

I don’t think it will be quite as epic with the new Mashiba. I think his development as a morally driven ā€œcleanā€ boxer is the focus now. Kimura’s OVA was great, but as far as a rematch is concerned, I don’t see it happening.

<3 <3 <3 yessss.

dude i want sendou’s animalistic instincts to merge with his boxing intelligence he has gained in the past year or so. plus the whole pre-game shenanigans will be epic.

:p: chapter 858 :p:

looks like the trainers will have a lot to do in this upcoming match.

Yeah this guy seems like a stick and move fighter. He’s just gonna jump in, throw some fast punches, and jump away. And he’s gonna run around the ring like a monkey.

Ippo is gonna smash him. I think its the right time for Kamogawa to teach Ippo something new.

isn’t Kamogawa gone for a while… I don’t think he plans to teach them.

as for Mogly… I’m thinking its like when Goku tried to catch Bubbles (rip MJ) but he’s fighting back too.

ep 26

Spoiler

season went out nicely. ippo/miyata rivalry, aoki jokes, we got a glimpse of shimabukuro, and a nice training montage at the end which made me a bit melancholic.

now bring on the second season asap :tup:

Can’t wait for next season. Hopefully we’ll get Ippo vs. Sawamura!

Saizen finally got out ep 25… 8 days after it aired. Subbers failed this week :sad:

Finally?

Well, I’m still hyped. So when will they resume Ippo?
