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

My girlfriend loves Ippo too, just saying.

Is Ippo boxing in the same league as Martinez? Doesn’t Kamogawa have Ippo running up the WBA ranks to win the title there, then go to Martinez’s league (WBO, IBF, whatever) as #1 seed to fight him directly?

I think Ippo will take a really long time before he goes on to fight Martinez. I even think Takamura will get all his belts first before that happens.

Ep. 25 was messed up with all the puns.

Mana…buuuuu :lol:

I think he wants him to become the unofficial OPBF champ by beating all the champs from different region. That would then give him a top 5 rank in the WBC so he could then challenge Martinez.

You wig!

loved this episode, my favorite of the season so far. really filled a void that I had in my life ever since SRK became a pun free zone.

so this is going to end at 26 episodes? i m not quite sure what you can do for the 26th episode then.

looking forward to an OVA for the Kamogawa and Nekota backstory.

They are continuing it. We just don’t know when yet.

i bet there save it later in next season .

no you don’t wont hear ippo english . geneon did try sell it to cn,but cn chose not too.

Speedstar has the (hopefully not) last ep up:

Edit: By the way they ended it, it sure seemed like a ā€œseason finaleā€ type thing and not a ā€œthis is it, it’s overā€ thing like the end of the first 75 episodes.

:p: chapter 859 :p:

DICKPUNCH :rofl:

This manga is hilarious.

yeah, sucker punching gets a whole new meaning, heh.

anyone know exactly when they’ll start airing season 2 of new challenger?

no one knows. expect at least winter this year.

I can’t exactly read the thread for fear of spoilers, but, when exactly in the viewing order do the two movies take place? I’m at episode 50 of the first series, and I don’t think I’ve passed them yet, but it’d be shitty if I did. PM me if you can let me know.

The movies are after the first season, so just continue watching the episodes.

updates for the planned movie:
