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

884 raw is out

From the looks of things, it looks like it’s more of the same, but Ippo found a way to hit him. Miguel’s panicking for some reason…

I found a translation on Narutofan while searching for the Raw:

884

[details=Spoiler]

Page 1
Ippo: I lost him again… where is he? The coach is pointing his finger… there?! Gone already… Where is he?

Page 2
Kimura: Is he seriously running loops around him?!
Aoki: THAT’S NOT HUMAN!
Takamura: Yeah, because he’s become something else. A monkey.
Coach: D-

Page 3
Coach: Does this mean he’s going to go all-out from now on?

Page 4
Ippo: T- too fast. My mind’s already made up that I won’t lose, but… my body can’t keep up.
Coach: Ill touch him 5 times. Are you telling me we can’t even clear that small objective?

Page 5
Ippo: He’s coming.
Announcer: With that great speed, Woli bolts forward! He closes in on Ippo in zigzags!!
Ippo: Will it be left or right? Above or below? He’s got so many choices. He disappeared below. Here…

Page 6
Ippo: Uwa! (No good! I can’t hit him with a big one. And even though I already know that… they just come out anyway.)

Page 7
Coach: He can’t catch him at all.
Crowd 1: Ahhh! He’s about to fall!
Crowd 2: Oh no! This is bad!
Kimura: THIS IS REALLY BAD!
Aoki: HE’S IN A HUGE PINCH! (When Japanese people are in a tough situation (ā€œin a pinchā€), they actually use the word pinch. Aoki uses DAI-PINCH for Big Pinch here.)
Takamura: Bad? Pinch? I wonder. That’s not what Ippo’s thinking, guys.

Page 8
Ippo: I’m grateful! This is such a big chance for me!! There’s no way I can follow his top-class movements. I definitely won’t even get used to them all the way until the final round. When he breaks away, there’s no way my arms can reach him. When he comes to me, that’s my only chance!
Crowd: H- he’s coming again!
Ippo: Only when he comes to me… my hands will reach.

Page 9
Ippo: Don’t rush it. Once I can match his movements at this range, I’ll move upwards. Be patient… Hold on. It has to be at a time when I can be sure of his whereabouts. In other words,

Page 10
Woli: That. doesn’t even faze me.
Ippo: He’s here…

Page 11
Ippo: Right in front of my eyes… He’s right there.

Page 12
Announcer: That hurt! Makunouchi’s back goes lunging out!!
Coach: Kid… He’s been looking ahead already. His mind’s already set up. While you told me ahead of time that you were prepared for the worst, now I’ve seen your determination with my own eyes. Don’t lose that state of mind!
Ippo: T-two times. I got him 2 times… !

Page 13
Announcer: Ippo’s body returns to a tight, upright position! Without missing a beat, Woli moves in again!
Crowd 1: AHH! This is bad!! Real bad!
Crowd 2: Look out! LOOK OUT!
Kimura: DON’T JUST STAND THERE!
Aoki: HOLD YOUR GROUND!
Announcer: He can’t hold that position! He takes the hit!!
Ippo: He’s…r-right…there…

Page 14
Coach: Got him!! Alright! That makes 3, doesn’t it? Just 2 more to reach the goal.
Miguel: WOLI! (Is it really alright to just keep taking those body shots?)
Woli: I’m fine! (ā€œBe calm. Concentrate.ā€ I know. If a heavy punch comes, I won’t take it.)
Miguel: ALRIGHT! GOO!

Page 15
Ippo: F-four times.
Coach: Just one more! Do it, kid!
Crowd: Ah, Ahhh!

Page 16
Announcer: He gets hit downward!
Crowd 1: Ohhhh~
Crowd 2: He just took a BIG one!
Ippo: Just one more until I reach my goal. Until I get that final hit, there’s no way I’ll go down.

Page 17
Ippo: A-
Kimura: He’s coming from below!
Itagaki: Dodge it!!
Aoki: RUN AWAY!
Ippo: Don’t run away. Because he’s right here.

Page 18
Ippo: Got him 5 times! I reached my goal!!
Text along the side of the page: The small goal was reached, yes, but the cost of doing so was huge.[/details]

fuck, just lose already

Yep, Woli’s going down with a body blow…

Ippo…just cheat. Cheat to win, no one would give a fuck.

This. Ippo needs to take a page out of Mashiba/Steve’s playbook and go for the footstomp XX overhand right.

A ā€œDirty Bullā€ could work, too…

a few pages back didnt I say that Ippo would stop/hit woli with a bodyshot??.. wtf, how did I know that?

I think most people who’ve been following the fight came to the same conclusion. This is basically that Kamogawa vs Anderson fight (it’s like miguel is destined to always lose against kamogawa boys) and a good body blow is really the only thing that would keep woli from jumping around with his monkey ass.

Did I miss something? Is Ignition-One on hiatus? Spoilers for 884 are out, yet I havn’t seen 883 translated yet? 882 is the latest on Ignition-One and OneManga… so whats the deal?

(Not like im missing anything… this manga sucks lately - however I feel like im having withdrawels since I havn’t read the latest chapters…)

I’m telling u guys the only way to salvage this fight is with Ippo giving Woli a fatal body blow…I’m talking broken rib impaling a lung fatal…Then, all will be well in the boxing world.

so the trailer for the 3s chracters in sf4 came out. i thought part of dudley’s ultra looked similar to ippo’s dempsey roll

I thought exactly the same thing.

i concur. reminded me of the dempsey roll as well.

they are working hard on it. just wait a bit longer the chapters should come out in the next couple of days.

  • double post -

Ippo 885:

Just so you guys don’t waste your time, Ippo 885 is mostly more of the same. However, it looks like Woli is getting slightly hurt. He thought Miguel clipped with him with the stool when he took his first step to leave his corner, but Miguel had a shocked look on his face.

Ippo 885 Translation

[details=Spoiler]
Translation for 885:

Hajime no Ippo 885 ? Accumulation of sadness

Top of the page: Clearing the 5 target goal takes away Ippo?s willpower and physical strength?!

Page 1
Ippo: Goal? cleared!! No… can?t fall yet. I got so worn out from that, my strength left me for an instant. Get up~~~~~

Page 2
Ippo: He?s come right before my eyes! Fight back!! Ah? ah?

Page 3
Ippo: My body won?t move. I must be completely worn out. Because of all the damage, my body won?t listen to me anymore. I have to defend at least!!
Coach: Kid!
Yagi: Ippo-kun!

Page 4
Ippo: Oh… Gah?
Coach: IN FRONT OF YOU!

Page 5
Announcer: In the blink of an eye, he?s kicked into his own corner!! Woli unleashes a fierce attack! Like a shellfish, Makunouchi closes his shell and protects himself!
Ippo: Ah? Aahh?

Page 6
Announcer: But Woli picks it open!! Makunouchi?s chin goes flying up! Is this it? Is it finally over for Makunouchi?! Woli goes in for the finish!!!

Page 7
Announcer: Whooooooooa! The gong is ringing! And the referee dives in to stop Woli! Saved by the gong and the referee!!

Page 8
Kimura, Itagaki, Aoki: Ooooh~~~ That chair just now was? NICE!! (This is a reference to some earlier chapter where Yagi-san was trying to make a joke by using the Japanese word for chair ?isu? and the Japanese word for nice ?naisu?. I?m don’t remember for sure, but I don?t think anyone appreciated it back then as much as they did right now.)

Page 9
Takamura: Actually… it?s more like, ?Saved by your own corner.? Since he probably couldn?t have gotten there on his own if it had been anywhere else, right?
Referee: Is Makunouchi alright?
Coach: I?m checking now? Kid… Kid? Give me an answer? (so it?s no good?)
Ippo: W?

Page 10
Ippo: Were you watching? 5 times? I touched him. 5 times?.
Coach: ? We?ll do it! He?s still got some steam left!!!
Referee: O…OK…

Page 11
Referee: However, the instant I judge it to be too dangerous, I?ll stop him right there.
Coach: I already know that!
Kimura: What did the ref say just now?
Aoki: Isn?t it obvious? It?s probably his final warning.
Itagaki: I wonder? do I really? have to acknowledge it? I mean, senpai started this match by taking a down. I thought it would be a complete victory for him? but as soon as Woli started his counterattack, he got completely destroyed. Some guy who?s only had 3 matches just came in and put out senpai?s 22 match winning streak.
Aoki: I don?t want to acknowledge it? Ain?t that what the coach told us before?
Coach (flashback): What will make you guys strong? is the accumulation of all the effort you put into every day.

Page 12
Coach (flashback): Don?t waste a second of any day. Be aware that you are a boxer, 24/7! Think about things you lack, or areas you need to improve on, and go improve them!!
Aoki: Ippo is the living embodiment of those words. Seeing him put into that battered state, and only able to land those wimpy body blows? If that?s the result of the accumulation of efforts, then I just feel like what?s the point? It?s unfair, but I guess there?s no helping it. ?No matter how much hard work you do, you still won?t catch up.? That is someone with talent. What they call a genius.
Takamura: They?re rare, in the world. Guys with that kind of ability.

Page 13
Takamura: Guys like me.
Kimura, Aoki, Itagaki: ?I really don?t want to acknowledge it.?
Migeul: I suppose you?ve checked it out?
Woli: Yeah.
Miguel: So, what?s your conclusion?
Woli: It?s a shame… I have no business with Makunouchi anymore. (I can?t enjoy this match anymore. I?ll finish it now.)

Page 14
Announcer: Seconds out!
Miguel: (His face has changed. So he?s going to do that?) Go get him! But don?t step on any land mines! Keep concentrating all the way till the end!
Woli: (puts in the mouth guard) !
Miguel: What?s wrong?

Page 15
Woli: The chair. You hit me with it.
Miguel: Oh? sorry.
Woli: Here I come, Makunouchi.
Ippo: T-the goal for this round?
Coach: Well it?s round 6, so it should be 6 times, right? Don?t get greedy. Just get him 6 times and get back here.
Ippo: S-six times. Ok. Just one more that before. The goal has gotten a little bigger. Ooooook.

Page 16
Announcer: ROUND 6!! Woli dashes at the sound of the gong!

Page 17
Announcer: He goes right across the diagonal of the ring at full speed, straight to Makunouchi. In a single instant, he?s already at the range where his hits will reach!!!
Yagi-san: H-he?s here. What will we do, coach?!
Coach: What do you mean ?What will we do??
Yagi-san: N-never mind.
Shinoda: Will you just tough it out until he hits him 6 times, no matter what happens?!
Coach: I already made up my mind.

Page 18
Coach: It?s over if he falls down even once. I?ll throw the towel in.
Yagi-san: U?(It?s a shame, but?)
Shinoda: (There?s no other way.)
Coach: (This is mortifying? In what way have all of his accumulated efforts paid off here? It?s impenetrably difficult. The difference between hard work and talent. There’s no helping it. This is?reality.

Text on the side of the page: Is it truly impossible to surpass talent with hard work alone?![/details]

Kishimoto already answered that in Naruto with Gaara versus Rock Lee. The answer is NO. This fucking manga…

…that’s the one for PS2 right?

If it’s not, I apologise. But I’m very certain the PS2 and PSP versions have a dpad option cause those are the ones I play and I preferr to go dpad + weave button as opposed to nutsy analogue weaving.

:p: round 883 :p:

It looks even worse to see him hanging on the corner like that than it was to read about it.
