Itagaki's future ?

well we had fans discussing weather itagaki is gonna leave the gym or not, and we had many hints about that happening, so what do u think

I'm seeing that one day Itagaki will switch gym to be with Mashiba since:
- he's one of Mashiba close's buddy now,
- it would get him even closer to Mashiba's sis,
- Itagaki has speed, and seeing how Saeki had speed AND the Hitman style, Mashiba can teach him a thing ow two since he is using that style,
- there had already been a story of Ippo's ex-junior fighting him, it can be the same with Itagaki,
- there might be a love/battle story to fight for Mashiba's sis? lol

discuss

Re: Itagaki's future ?

I Hope that Itagaki will fight Ippo in the Future...

But let me say that I hope that this future will be very far away. Ippo stands as he is now no chance against Itagaki ( he's to much of a genius ) !!

Also to say that Itagaki got the Baton from Ippo for the Japanese Titel so he will hang a while longer with the others!!


But for the World Titel why not ^_~

Re: Itagaki's future ?

I believe he won't, only because it would mean he has to fight Ippo. And Ippo would beat the shit out of him, he cannot afford to lose any more... It would ruin the momentum Itagaki has. What's more, Itagaki has never wished to fight Big Mara, so I believe such a match would be useless.

My prediction for Itagaki is that he will either move up/down a class and go for the Japanses title (but it's too easy a way out, I think Morikawa will try to avoid this, especially since Mashiba is his "buddy" : they have had lots of spars, a real match is not really needed to gauge their mutual strenght), or he will go for the world rankers right before Ippo.

Now, Itagaki is considered as a genius, and he is likely to feel restricted not being able to conquer a title because of Ippo. But he respects KBG and Ippo too much in order to betray them, so he might start fighting international people, to build his world ranking.
In the process he could even meet Sendo, who wants to do the same^^ It would also be a good way to introduce strong fighters so that they can go against Ippo later (after all, it does not mean a lot of things since Ippo and Itagaki have 2 completely different boxing styles...)

well mostly there will be part of the manga soon were ippo and itagaki spar secretly behind kamogawa, while their sparring the atmosphere heats up and they both fight as it were a real match, kamogawa comes and stops them quickly and start to lecture them both, in itagaki's heart he feels that the light and the man he followed is near, and he wants to go ahead of him, we all saw what itagaki calls ippo that he always will follow him, then he wonders whats after that man, a whole betrayal-surpass climax will start ending a title match between these two where itagaki will be at Toho gym

Re: Hajime no Ippo General Discussion

I'm pretty sure Itagaki has no interest in Kumi Mashiba. All the reasons would be valid but right now, I don't see it happening. The reason is similar to what was stated during the fight between Itagaki and Imai; Imai chose a different gym because he wants to one day fight Ippo. Though Itagaki wants to follow behind Ippo, he gained much more support joining Kamogawa gym. Besides, it's pretty hard to want to leave a gym with a coach like Genji there.

Anyways, it's just my opinion but I don't think they'll use the same plot that already happened. Itagaki's goal has always been Ippo but his rival has always been Imai so to me, he probably won't be leaving Kamogawa until he fights Imai again (possibly for the relinquished Japanese Featherweight Championship). Another reason why I don't think he'll switch is because of the baton pass but then again, that doesn't say much considering Date passed the baton to Ippo.

great now the site is dead. Sigh.

Re: Itagaki's future ?

Hehe I see my post had been made into a thread

I actually can't see him fighting Ippo like... forever

Unless.

Ippo lost a chance for a good World Ranking chance and had to start from the bottom again.

Just like how Date was.

Ippo's New Weapon?

So far we have:

- Feint with Sakki
- Liver Blow
- Gazzelle Punch
- Dempsey Roll

And maybe we can add his awesome right.
But the point is, sooner or later, he is gonna have a new weapon anyway

So, considering the size of his small body (which works well for Dempsey) plus his Turtle Strategy & Weaving Movement, the question is:

What would be his next weapon for the world ranking fights?

 

[abu_89]

Re: Ippo's New Weapon?

It's going to be a variation of the body shot. His biggest weakness right now is probably long range fighters with fast jabs so I'm thinking it's going to be something with an immensely fast step-in and lots of power. He might learn a defensive technique that lets him parry more often too.

 

[gensou]

Re: Ippo's New Weapon?

i say super dempsey roll, with add on dash.

 

[Yuzo]

Re: Ippo's New Weapon?

If he were to get a new weapon, I'd say it would be like the preparation for the Dragon Fish blow, something that enables him to enter his range easily against taller outboxers...
But what he will need the most is a somewhat defensive technique, because he SUCKS against boxers with good legs... But his style is very offensive, so maybe a Dempsey Roll-like thing, half-defensive and half-offensive, that would be the best possible technique to get... Very unlikely, though.

Re: Hajime no Ippo General Discussion

there a high chance itagaki will fight ippo tho, or he can be just a character that show miyata side of boxing.

Re: Hajime no Ippo 768 Discussions Thread

Also think it showed how he "stretches his arm". Okay, so he was shot right? And he said he was poor, so the likelihood of getting good medical attention was low at best. He probably got the bullets removed, but the bones weren't properly set. At worse I would imagine his shoulderblade was split or possibly even shattered, thus meaning the limitation that the shoulderblade puts on the reach of someone's arm would be negated. Also, since he's most likey a righty, and he was shot in his left shoulder, he uses his left arm to jab. Those quick shots are how one gages distance of your opponent, right? A quick, long shot would throw off your whole game.
