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

Woli’s smirk is pissing me off. Hope he gets that shit ripped off.

Damnit…872 was pretty boring.

…ggagh…stop dragging this out!!

I would just like to mention Rock Lee.
Sometimes hard work just doesn’t amount to shit in the face of raw talent.

And sometimes, like this: http://www.onemanga.com/Historys_Strongest_Disciple_Kenichi/134/26/
… someone is talented and still works hard. Then you’re fucked no matter what.

Woli is straight up gay. I don’t think I’ve ever been turned off by this series until now.

Sorry, Rock Lee is a piss poor example. Naruto doesn’t have a character that reigns anything with pure talent. He loses against what? Neji, genius Byakugan users and one of the most powerful in his rank shown in the manga and Gaara. Nobody thinks Lee got shit on because he loses to those 2 guys and most likely will continue to lose to them on a consistent basis as well as others because the character’s fighting style is inherently faulty in a world where basically Bloodline techniques own everybody except other Bloodline techniques followed by genjutsus/summoning techniques and then ninjutsus. Pure Taijutsu fighters can’t win and them hyping up Gai as the future Rock Lee means nothing because he hasn’t beaten anybody other than nameless ninjas.

Woli is a nobody with no explained abilities. He’s a hack character that doesn’t even box. His style is called freedom and we’re being expected to buy that Ippo saying even though it might look like Woli can throw Flickers and Smashes, they’re both low level compared to the real thing, but they’re still quite impressive that he can do them naturally. Okay yeah, nobody throws a smash normally, it’s an awkward straight from an uppercut position that happened to break through peek-a-boo. Flickers also aren’t natural or else we wouldn’t have like less than a hand full of people in the world of fighting using them so fuck Woli.

Seriously?

my sentiments exactly… :bluu:

Gah - I’m reading Naruto and Bleach just to FINISH them…PLEASE Ippo - don’t be like those two.

Oh and Woli sucks. He’s like freaking Super Deadpool from Origins. “Oh no - he’s gonna use White fang next!”

Just think of how satisfying it will finally be though when Woli finally does get KTFO. Maybe they made him purposely annoying so we’ll be more pumped at the end when he’s DEAD!

not true since sasuke got his shit fucked up by killer bee. he pwned his fighting and genjutstu.

If this series wants to redeem itself, I’m going to need to see some more Sawamura. I think a miraculous comeback is in order.

(sigh) and I thought it couldn’t get worse after the randy vs miyata fight :shake:

LOL @ this bitch Morikawa wasting two and three chapters just getting Woli to the corner where he’s more than likely to spend another three or four chapters beating the shit out of Ippo. This manga is garbage for it’s shitty pacing.

that already happened with the miyata/rbj fight, and look what happened. Miyata throwing a chidori = mad gay.

No, I’m saying Sawamura needs to get in the ring and take care of things himself.

(sigh) guys I just finished looking at ch. 873 and all I have to say is…wow

the author is seriously running out of ideas of how to make ippo’s opponents different than the last. I think I will skip this fight now :shake:

I hate how predictable this fight is going.

Mashiba needs another match…fast.

Just read it. Shitsux. Granted, the beatdown Woli should get from Makunoichi should be glorious once he’s been battered enough to figure out all of his tricks. I’m guessing we’ll see Ippo get the eye of the tiger and the win by the end of January.

I seriously can’t believe this shit has been going on for 10 years now. I know there are other mangas that are even longer, but Morikawa has no excuse with all of the different boxers that have come and gone through all this time.
