Re: Hajime no Ippo General Discussion

yeah, but it will take me awhile to get started on the manga. My manga reading list keeps growing longer and longer

Trust me man, once you start Hajime no Ippo, you will forget about every other manga on your list until you reach the current chapters...

Re: Hajime no Ippo General Discussion

This and Slam dunk are the only 2 manga I ever want to go back and read again.

Re: Magician's Trick?

Most likely he steps in and out really quickly when he punches, giving the illusion of longer reach. Like all magicians, once you know how the trick works, it's not that impressive. Ippo is going to be challenging the world soon and he's going to show that in this match. Besides which, Ippo's step-in is probably the best of all the characters in this series.

Re: Magician's Trick?

my money is on his widened stance

Re: Magician's Trick?

Been a while but time's almost here for the fight. Personally, I think it might have something to do with the widened stance; however, I'd rather talk about his fighting style.

I think the way he's going to fight is like how Oscar de la Hoya used to back when he was in the lower weight classes when he was known as the golden boy. He wasn't as aggressive as a boxer back then, and by the 7th to 8th rounds, the oppenent always looked like they were gonna fall over from exhaustion.

That's what I'm anticipating. Gedo seemed eager to get the match started asap. I figure he would want to cut down the ammount of available training time to cut into ippo's endurance. Like Kobashi's fight (except without taking the hits with a cross-arm block), Gedo's gonna cause Ippo to chase after him throughout the ring, always on the move. It'll look like Gedo will be in trouble, but then he'll quickly be able to parry move with stealth and quickness out of the way. Along with that, Gedo will probably attack the body of Ippo. And in the later rounds Ippo should be feeling exausted. At that point that's when Gedo will go for the knock-out. That's what I gather from his record anyway.

Also, anyone else notice how tall gedo was compared to ippo when he helped him stand up? Good thing for the Mashiba spar. Hmm, I wonder if Gedo will try to use uppercuts to stave off ippo as well.... who knows.

Ever read Eyeshield 21. I'm picky about what I call my favorites but this, ES21, Detective Conan and the first half of Death Note are my favorites.

I really like Naruto and might possibly like 666 Satan even more.

Re: Hajime no Ippo General Discussion

my top three all time is:
1. Berserk
2. One Piece
3. Hajime No Ippo

ive reread them so many times ive lost count

but i wonder if its time for them to continue the HnI anime. i mean the first run was what, 76 episodes long? and that was about 270 chapters of manga.
270/76=3.alotofdigits so thats about 3 chapters to an episode.
and now chapter 767 has been released.
767-270=497 so 497 chapters to make episodes from. no wait! champion road and the other one i cant remember the name. anyways, 2 ova episodes/movies.
they were about 18 chapter each, 18*2=36
497-36=461

461 chapters that has not been animated, and if we use the same formula for about 3 chapters per episode, 461/3=153.alotofsixes

153 episodes is what they could make with the material that is released right now.
and during those 153 weeks there will be 150-ish new chapters released....

seriously, they should just make the anime!

Re: Hajime no Ippo General Discussion

make sure that HnI is the first at that list

I'll try

Trust me man, once you start Hajime no Ippo, you will forget about every other manga on your list until you reach the current chapters...

That certainly happened for the anime

OP is on my reading list too, I only keep up with the anime, the only time I lapse was when they had those flashback fillers.

>.> yes they should!

Re: Your favourite Fight

Ippo's right eye get swollen mostly because of his style which he instantly charge at his opponents
so he takes many lefts in his face

Ah yes, I see what you mean His peek-a-boo style doesn't save his face from attacks.

Well i don't think his opponent was very weak at all but the thing is that Ippo just super evolved in a couple of aspects thus making him an even bigger monster then before.

Super Ippo huh.. he certainly has an "incredible" growth.

Re: Fights you would like too see

When Ippo was fighting Date, Miyata and Sendo were looking forward to fighting Ippo so how about a match between them instead. Miyata Vs Sendo

Re: Magician's Trick?

yeah but didnt fukui say to ippo that he lost his perception of distance in the fight, that happened to ippo in the taki fight were he changes his foot position, ippo measure distance with the foot position, but yet again i think that the coach and takamura would noticed something as simple as that

Re: Hajime no Ippo General Discussion

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

I thought of making a topic on this, but I figure this would be better here (unless Mod thinks otherwise) ^_^
