Hajime no Ippo (Latest Scan 887 IO, Raw 888)

[Puar]

I ordered shounen magazine, so on the offchance the raws still not out by the time I get it, I'll try scan it for all.

Thanks for stepping up, as always, Mori.

:huh

It's a pity that there's no european PS2 or PS3 version of the HnI PSP game, otherwise I would buy it.

PSP's are region free so far as games are concerned, so you could still buy it and play it on a US PSP just fine.

I've got leet colouring skillz. :pek :awesome

That you surely do. Still working (albeit ever so slowly) on I-O HQ releases, let me know if you want to color anything that's in Volume 73 or above and I'll stick 'em in. (;

[Yak]

Sig test, 1,2,3,4... :pek

EDIT: Good, seems to work fine now.

I settled for the transparent background after trying out some self-coloured one and some editted flame pics and they all didn't work well with the pic and it looked shitty. I editted out the original debris because I had some trouble with the transparency looking good first, so I drew in my own. If it's too massive, tell me, I can delete some of it.

Other than that, I for my part, am rather happy with the outcome, imo it looks pretty good.

[Cthulhu-versailles]

Are you going to do one for young Nekota ? That would be really awesome. :cry

I'll give you reps......

[Yak]

Sorry, I'm not going to take any further requests for now, I'll tell you once I'm in the mood for another colouring but the last couple of days kinda took a lot of concentration out of me and I'm somewhat fed up with it for now.

That said, don't mind me being completely drunk right now, I wish all the Ippo-fans a happy new year! :awesome

[Yak]

Alright, your requests (includin Lazlow's) are noted. I'll go at it soon, just need a few days off for now.

[Moridin]

Thanks for stepping up, as always, Mori.

np bud, had hoped it would arrive today but it hasn't D:

maybe tomorrow >_<

[Fist-Of-Lightning]

Gotta say Yak that Berserk picture in your sig is really awsome it made my day ^^

When does the next chapter come out ive read up to chapter 797 please tell if thers a newr one somewhere

[Moridin]

798 will be out as soon as someone scans it, I believe someone on DG has said they might do it tomorrow and I have the magazine ordered but not sure how soon it'll be delivered

But if you are willing sometime in the future, I might be requesting you to color the Ippo picture in my sig. :pek

SPOILER PIC!!!!
wtf twisted neck?

[Dream Brother]

That must have been one hell of a shot, to spin his head around like that. Shots like that have 'KO' written all over them, mean intentions.

But yeah, the spar went pretty much as everyone thought it would -- Itagaki getting trashed and the point being made that speed isn't everything. The real question now is, of course...will Ippo step in?

[Moridin]

awesome xDDD

saw that coming but it was good to not know exactly what RBJ did to floor Itagaki the first time (well maybe the dialogue will tell :/). I hope Ippo doesn't get in the ring.

can't wait for next week

[Wuzzman]

I don't want Itagaki just so that RBJ gets hyped.

[Segan]

Thank godness you put your comments into spoilers. *downloading*

Edit: FUCK YEAH!Just a few shots and Itagaki got downed twice in the first round.
If Itagaki's faster than Miyata and gets wrecked that easily, then Miyata got a hell of opponent to deal with.

[Yamato-takeru]

I'll still place my bet on Miyata. :pek

I can't see him having an interesting development if he looses.

[Lazlow]

Awesome chapter, it was worth the wait. Can't wait for scan.

[Wuzzman]

fuck that shit don't count. Itagaki getting sacrifice so that Miyata can look good.

[Yak]

I'm only guessing but I might actually be close. Randyboy probably waited most of the time to figure out Itagaki's rythm. That's the key point of why he was able to strike back in this chapter. In terms of movement speed he might be slower than Manabu but his reaction speed is really good.

After getting hit and watching Manabu move around him for a while, he got the pace and rythm of his opponent down and went in to counter attack. Manabu, while stepping back, deals punches after RBJ. The exact moment to strike in terms of timing and distance is possibly symbolized by those two spirals we see in the chapter. The moment RBJ steps into one, he enters Manabu's reach and Itagaki then strikes.

Now comes RBJ's nasty counter technique paired with his reaction speed. He was waiting for that reaction and with a swift side-step he not only evades Itagaki's punch, but also moves into Manabu's blind spot and by twisting in his hip he can throw a devastating close-range cross counter.

Well, at least that's my theory from looking only at the pics.

--
EDIT: Okay, it's not really a cross-counter like punch, more like some kind of hook, I'm not too familiar with the exact boxing terminology for this techique. But it also seems as if he was using his leading hand to kind of judge the distance and determine the timing when to strike Manabu.

EDIT 2: Seems like Randyboy also switched stances and now has the right leg leading.

[Wuzzman]

still if this was a match Itagaki would win...

[Dream Brother]

So Randy isn't only a counter killer -- he's a speed killer. Add that to killer intent (he looks like a demon as he punches Itagaki) and reflexes, along with power...

The perfect man to beat Miyata in virtually every respect.

This is going to be an interesting fight.

This is going to be an interesting fight.

Him being able to fight as a switch hitter probably also enables him to do that annyoing side-step equally good to both sides and from there attacking equally well with both hands. He could strike from almost any angle possible, plus he has speed, awesome reaction and power. Miyata is in for one hell of an opponent.

[Fist-Of-Lightning]

Oooh cant wait until the next chapter.

man i started reading this manga thought it would kill time since i had never heard of it before. luckily Hajime No Ippo turned out to be a huge found and now currently one my favorite mangas ever :P

[Dream Brother]

Miyata is in for one hell of an opponent.

Definitely, easily the hardest test of his entire career. Mashiba, Sisfa, Arnie, etc...none of them were built up to this massive a degree and for so long a time, none of them seem to have a style that acts as a perfect counter to Miyata's, and Miyata has never been this much of an underdog before.

[Yamato-takeru]

Yeah, Miyata always had great power-level and if Miyata's an underdog now, then RBJ must have like over 9000!

[The Drunken Monkey]

^rofl

Randy's punches are deadly.

[Sylar]

They'd better not have Ippo get trashed by RBJ. Cause that would suck...

[Grandmaster Kane]

Is it just me or did RBJ just break Itagaki's neck with that huge hook...his head turned almost 180 degrees!!!

[Dream Brother]

That can happen in RL, too. A lot of boxers twist their head away as they get hit -- sort of like a natural defense mechanism -- and so when they get hit with punches it sometimes looks worse than it actually is, as the effect of the blow looks far more dramatic.

I don't think Itagaki even had time to twist away in this case, though -- just got hit by a Godly shot from outside his vision and had his head snapped around. Ow.

Puar, you and your team's speed would put Itagaki himself to shame. Cheers.

[Lazlow]

Cheers Puar. :iria

[Segan]

Puar, you and your team's speed would put Itagaki himself to shame. Cheers.I'm inclined to agree.

Thanks, Puar.

[Yak]

Thanks Puar! ^_^

[~Mamoru~]

Awesome Puar, thanks!

Good chapter, with Itagaki still looking quite good but getting beaten. I suspect that RBJ was just measuring him out in the first round, but still recieved some hits and I wonder if Ippo's going to get involved. I kinda doubt that RBJ and his mangaer would want to stretch themselves to having another spar against a completely different type of fighter and also since Itagaki nearly managed to go 2 full rounds against him, I think that RBJ's sparring session is over. I'm not sure whether Ippo himself wants to fight, given Itagaki's possible damage and whether he wanted to in the first place. I think it is more that the other spectators would want to watch that fight more than anything and that could still sway it into happening. They may expect it more if Itagaki is not that damaged, but I don't think the chances are that good tbh, even though I would like to see it.

[Moridin]

I love you guys Puar xD

really awesome chapter, I had a hunch Itagaki was getting screwed because he was unable to tell at what point in time RBJ switched stance and I guess that came true. All hells going to break loose with Miyata, I'm so excited. I mean we saw just how much his switching can mess up a fighters rhythm and to throw a counter Miyata's rhythm has to be great.

Ippo better not get in the ring, because he can't really beat on RBJ now, it'd drop the hype on RBJ after he showed everyone what he's got and I have no desire to see Ippo get beaten on in a spar again ><

[Jesus Date]

wow that was incredibly fast Puar, thank you!

[Cthulhu-versailles]

Thanks Puar! I was waiting for this chapter more then I have been another other for awhile. I'm glad I didn't have to wait long...

[Blind Itachi]

Thanks Puar...


and OH SHI-... poor Itagaki...

[delirium]

Assuming Miyata is gong to win this fight... It'd probably become irrelevant for Ippo to even step into the ring with RBJ by then. Of course, if Miyata loses.. :sag

[Agmaster]

If Miyata loses he is officially no longer a genius and is at Kimura level.

[Dream Brother]

Miyata losing would be surprising. I see him as a big underdog for this one (and really, who could actually make him the favourite, here?) but I see him as a live underdog that will most likely get the crap beaten out of him for the majority of the match (ala the Sisfa fight) only to come back and crush RBJ with some sort of desperate effort in the late rounds.

Miyata losing would perfectly set up Ippo/RBJ -- I doubt it'll happen though, as we already had this Miyata-loses-Ippo-steps-in plot with Mashiba, and there would have to be a damned good reason to use it again.

Hm, the only good reason for him to lose again and have Ippo clear the path in the end would be some sort of twisted 'divine punishment' for breaking his promise with Ippo and drawing back from their fight even though he was originally the challenger and thus kind of obliged to fight. But as already said, it's probably unlikely he will lose.

[rockst☆r sin]

If RBJ defeats Miyata and Ippo fights RBJ and win by K.O., I don't want to see another Miyata vs. Ippo comparison argument ever again.

[Elijah Snow]

I finally started reading this series and am on vol.6. So far it's incredible and definitely worth reading.

[Dream Brother]

To be fair, it's a much better style matchup for Ippo than it is for Miyata -- I'm not saying he would beat RBJ, but right now I would give him more of a chance than Miyata, mainly because RBJ seems to be the anti-Miyata in every way possible, designed to neutralise all of Miyata’s greatest assets and turn them into critical flaws with his specific style.

[Yak]

Lol. It's just that Miyata is fragile :hehee

[Yamato-takeru]

Remember when Takamura described boxing as janken?

Ippo - rock
Miyata - paper
RBJ - scissors


...or did I remember wrong?

[Blind Itachi]

I finally started reading this series and am on vol.6. So far it's incredible and definitely worth reading.
keep on it! :knk...

you won't regret it :nod...

[rockst☆r sin]

Off topic but Yak, your coloring is really good. I always find myself staring at them. I always try to think which Ippo pic you can color for me, but I always forget.

[Moridin]

Just can't see him losing xD

Thats pretty much how I see it panning out, if Miyata were to lose not only is his belief that his fathers boxing can compete at the world stage rendered wrong but he'd also then have to be built back up to a contest with Ippo later in which he is unlikely to come out of the victor.

Proving his fathers boxing is too big a part of his story for Miyata to fail at.

[The Drunken Monkey]

Maybe Miyata can come up with something that surpasses the Jolt.

[Puar]

Thanks for all the kind compliments! The New, Re-hauled Viewer (http://ippo-online.confusticated.com) is up and online. I'll double check everything later, but if anyone gives it a gander, let me know if you find any kinks.

[The Drunken Monkey]

Is there a way to access the old one? I thought the old one easier to manuerver since all you needed to use was te arows to change pages insead of going to a new page completely.

[Moridin]

pretty nice puar, I preferred the old ones ease of use I think, moving pages around and just hitting left or right to skip forwards and backwards.

The chapter selection is much easier now though with the drop down menu.

[Check Hook]

i was searching for a manga of Ippo since i love boxing and just about anything that has to do with it...

he is actually a "stylistic nightmare" for both Ippo and Miyata...he can kill speed(Miyata) and also is a very good counter puncher with insane power(Ippo)...now if he has a good chin (can take damage pretty good) then REALISTICALLY speaking Miyata only has a PUNCHERS chance (which he obviously doesnt have)....but since this is a manga i guess a desperate counter would suffice :P...same w/ Ippo's come forward style...basing on the last chapter, he is percieved to have the same power as Ippo and if thats true then i can see Miyata lasting longer than Ippo against Junior...

...aside from being a switch hitter...he is actually under the category of what boxing pugilists would call as a "boxer-puncher"

[Shiraishi]

Last chapter was quite awesome.

Itagaki showed he's probably the best behind Ippo in Japan and can somewhat keep up with the OPBF champ.

Itagaki will turn into a demon and crush through the Class A.

[Puar]

Alright, pretty positive feedback so far on the NEW Ignition-One Ippo Online Viewer (http://ippo-online.confusticated.com), but I added a link to a Classic View option for you guys who liked the old style better. Thanks for checking it out! And (hopefully) less than a week until the next chapter hits. By the by, Mori, where did you order your Shonen Mag from?

[Lord Genome]

Im curious how fast Itagaki is compared to people like Saeki and such.

[Yak]

Im curious how fast Itagaki is compared to people like Saeki and such.

Same here. I can't imagine them staying at the level they were when Ippo defeated them so they shouldn't really be fodder. Plus, they have more experience than Itagaki, it surely won't be easy for him.

Go go, Saeki!! :yell

[Elijah Snow]

On Vol.11 already. I know I'm really behind, but I plan to catch up asap.

[Yak]

Hello humans of the Ippo thread.

To those who wish to get an Ippo-set colouring from me, I wanted to tell you that by monday of the coming week I'll start working on requests again. So, preferably use this weekend to pick up some stocks you want me to colour for your avys and/or sigs.

Also, if you have something specific in mind please do not hesitate to tell me, for example Segan requested his set to be particularly dark, badass and demonic, much with red and all. Additionally, if you request a sig, please add information about whether it should be one with borders and coloured/shopped background or with transparent bg.

Please send me everything, including the stock pics via PM. Thanks in advance. :3

[Moridin]

By the by, Mori, where did you order your Shonen Mag from?

there's a place called the japan centre in london, they stock weekly mags. Would be much easier if I lived there to pick it up...but I don't >_>

Was Mayweather's KO shot in his last fight the inspiration for your screen name? Was a beautiful check hook.

And it's true that RBJ would be a nightmare for both Ippo and Miyata, but I still think that Ippo would be less of an underdog going into the bout, as he really would have a puncher's chance, and he doesn't depend on counters or speed.

YES...its actually a pretty basic punch but when executed correctly...BAM!! Ya know what i mean smile-big

Ippo has a better chin no doubt about that and also has the puncher's chance but the big problem is he's going to come forward...even w/ his peek-a-boo defence i dont think that it would be hard for RBJ to break it and also Ippo seems to have problems adapting to lateral movements (i.e. RBJ sides steps as Ippo rushes in and them BAM ...Check Hook :laugh)...of course he's still the hero so who knows what the writer is thinkin.

Will Takamura conquer the other 4 weight classes? :LOS

And if not, for what reason?(loses a match, accident happens, etc)

Yay! I got HnI for PSP. ^.^ Pretty fun game, graphics are pretty good too.

I'm still getting used to the controls. I recommend whoever has a PSP should try it out too.

does Eagle appears?

I got it for Wii, Ricardo is a monster just like in the manga.

[The Drunken Monkey]

Yeah, Eagle is in it.

Ricardo is still a beast as always.

One thing is for sure, Miyata just sucks. I don't know if it's just me but he just plain sucks. >.<

Gedo is pretty good, fast on his toes.

[Dream Brother]

Miyata is a God, and he's gonna prove it in the RBJ match.

That being said, Itagaki is neat too, and not just in terms of personality. For a domestic level rookie to last nearly three rounds against RBJ...

[Segan]

It was nearly two rounds, not three. Anyway, Miyata is no God. If he's actually thinking about becoming the featherweight world champ, he will have to fight either Ippo sooner or later or get crushed by Martinez.

[Dream Brother]

It was nearly two rounds, not three.

I meant that he nearly made it to the third round, just bad wording on my part.

Hey I've been looking for this thread! Thanks to Dream Brother for helping me find it.

I finished all of the anime episodes (not the OVA or TV Special) and now I think I want to start reading the manga. Is it better than the anime?

[Segan]

Don't know, I've only watched the first episode. There are some flashy moments, but I generally prefer the manga. They are at least equal.

[Puar]

I think he means is what transpires after the Anime ends just as good and, let me tell you, IT'S BETTER! All of the World Level fights take place in the Manga, starting with Miyata's OPBF title match and Date's re-match with Martinez for the WBA Belt with an Ippo title defense inbetween! Give those a shot and see if they don't sell you on reading the rest!

I'd still recommend watching the OVA and TV Special though as it's always more fun to watch than to read. If you don't, you'll want to Start Here (http://www.confusticated.com/ignition-one/ippo.php?chap=269). If you do end up watching them, your adventure will Start Here (http://www.confusticated.com/ignition-one/Hajime_no_Ippo/315/01/1100/1/) instead.

[MueTai]

Thanks a ton Puar, and nice avatar lol. They can box but they can't sing, reminds me of me.

[~Mamoru~]

Looking back on the spar between RBJ and Itagaki, I'm quite impressed with the strategies RBJ came up with and how he adapted to the situation which really kept Itagaki on his toes.

He started of with the left jab, then used the one-two to prevent Itagaki coming in to counter his single left, then added the hook afterwards when the one-two's weren't really working, which Ippo thought was a good strategy before switching stances. Even after the first down he managed to adapt enough to be able to read ahead of Itagaki's movements in his original stance and pressurise him before finishing him with the switch hit. Though, judging by how long the spar took and the fact that Raccoon Boy finished Miyata snr in the last round I think this fight could go into the later rounds.

I think his ability to adapt like this as well as his switch hit make him very dangerous, though I'm not sure how much was said by his manager. I think Ippo could really take some good hints from RBJ in this spar and the match itself, like the one-two and the one-two with the hook as well as the ways in which he could use his presence to pressurise his opponents to make his style even more efficient.

[Wuzzman]

Itagaki choose not to get up after being knockdown again, given enough rounds I'm sure he can counter. Miyata will find a way, that was what Itagaki getting owned was for, paving a way for Miyata plan. I think Miyata will infight RBJ.

[Segan]

Miyata would get murdered if he wants to infight RBJ.

And we yet have to see if Itagaki can't stand up or chooses not to.

[Dream Brother]

Miyata would get murdered if he wants to infight RBJ.


It does seem insane, yes -- which is exactly why it could work, as RBJ wouldn't be expecting it at all. Mind you, there's nothing to say that this tactic would 100% let him win, but then again, there's nothing to say that anything Miyata can do will work, because he seems to be screwed from every direction, which is why the latest version of him will most likely have some new skills/tactics up his sleeve if he wants to even survive, let alone win.

I'm going to hold off on final judgement for now though, because I want to see if we're going to get even snippets of Miyata's training camp for RBJ after the spar.

Maybe getting close and land a few punches and then getting out, that's viable.

RBJ is no rookie like Imai whom Itagaki could jump around with his feet.

My speculation will be that Miyata might be trying to become a southpaw outboxer himself, who will circle right instead of left and will be paying close attention to when RBJ is going to switch so that he can utilize that new move.

[Grandmaster Kane]

Anybody else think RBJ will either put miyata into a grave or emergency room (and possibly end his boxing career sawamura style)

Then ippo wil go out for revenge.... AND LOSE.... then either vorg or sendo come back into the picture and murder him....

^Yeah.... No... That's kind of random. xD

[Yak]

I've got a shitty announcement to make. D:

All the people who requested a sig/avy set from me so far, I'm going to finish yours but after this I won't accept any new ones for an unknown timespan. Some people might know but I'm more or less the inofficial leader of the Bastard!!-scanlation project here on Narutofan and our cleaner kinda quit his job. We were already way behind in pace but if I don't step in now, we might lose the project and it is my personal absolute top priority to keep that from happening.

So I'd ask you for patience even with the current jobs I've taken from you, colouring will be done if I have some freetime left from possible cleaning jobs and thus could take a while longer. Againn, I'll deeply apologize but shit happens. D: D: D:

[Lazlow]

No problem, Yak. :hehee

[Yak]

No problem, Yak. :hehee

Of course... <_< ... since yours is already done... >_>

But I feel crappy for the other guys looking forward to theirs and I'd really really like to work on it asap but the project simply has priority since it's always been a personal dream to me. I'll see what I can do, I need to talk everything through with our remaining staff first anyway.

Lol yeah, I was joking. :p

But I personally wouldn't mind even if I had to wait months for mine, as long as you guys would release a new Bastard!! chapter/volume in the meantime. :pek

Your set is sick Lazlow, and Yak, it's all good. Good luck with your project.

No problem Yak. It's not like we are complete assholes that expect other people to do stuff for us, no matter what. Other than that, is the raw this week out?

ch 799 raw is out:

http://rs29.rapidshare.com/files/82819604/Ippo_799.zip

Thanks to Fujitak from Dynamite Glove and Shonen on the RSF boards for the initial upload.

Yep, so it looks like Ippo is going to spar here after some provocation by Mr Sakaguchi. I think it might've been that the onlookers were congratulating Itagaki's performance, but Mr Sakaguchi wasn't impressed. There was a panel of Ricardo Martinez as well when he was talking. The spar itself looks like it'll only be one round - the round that Itagaki didn't fill up I suspect.

Ippo did look kinda badass on the latter pages. I think this 1 round is going to be enough to set up a much more serious match in the future. I wonder what Kamogawa will say?

[Grandmaster Kane]

^Yeah.... No... That's kind of random. xD

Woohoo

Just come back from jogging and what do I see - Ippo scaaaan! X3

Thanks, Puar. :3 By the way, would it be okay for you to include some of my colourings into the scanlated chapters, even if the colos are from older chapters and mostly lingle panels? That would rock. :wtf

[Puar]

Yeah, sure thing, yak. Let me PM you my e-mail address and good luck to you in your scanslation adventures!

[Vegeta]

OH FUCK YEAH YOU ROCK IO

Wow, what a chapter.

[ricc]

Oh shit, Ippo stepping up. X3

[Shroomsday]

I guess there's still the rock, paper, scissors comparison going on (scissors does seem to suit Randy fairly well). Could be that Ippo'll corner him and then intentionally miss him to hit his cornerman.

[Chi]

OMG.
A chapter full of badass Ippo. God I hope Morikawa won't make hm look like a fodder :P
If Ippo will manage good in this spar, I think it might give Miyata some drive in his fight.

[Segan]

Great....thank you, Puar. I didn't expect any good way to make Ippo stepping up, but Morikawa did a good job again. I bet, it's going to be similar like the Mashiba vs. Ippo spar. High-level and awesome boxing.

Though, it's a sign for me, that Ippo isn't going to fight RBJ in an official match, meaning, Miyata is going to win, no matter how difficult it is. So far, Ippo never sparred against his future opponents (well, Date is an exception, but that was so damn long ago...). But it would set up for a dramatic plot twist, if it actually happened.

[Jesus Date]

Marina's comment about ippo's boyfriend...:laugh

[Yak]

Hm, let's see if Ippo can make Candy Boy Jr. go serious and prove the claims of his manager that he has what it takes to push Martinez from the throne.

I agree that I think it'll be a high-level spar similar to Mashiba vs Ippo, but I reckon that since it is only one round I think it is mainly used to set up a possible fight between the two in the future or add further hype to RBJ. I don't expect Ippo to majorly damage RBJ, since it could affect the upcoming Miyata vs RBJ fight, particularly his hype - unless that is Morikawa's intention. I think it'll end with them about to throw some serious finishing blows with the bell stopping them and that the two will leave with a feeling that things aren't finished, probably wondering what would've happened if their opponents attacks hit. Also it would give the reporters something to think about if RBJ would use that move against Miyata and it's possible effect.

[Yamato-takeru]

If you just Completed the 75 Episode Anime AND BOTH the TV Movie (Champion Road) and OVA:
You will want to continue with Volume 35 - Round 315. Here, the story shifts to Miyata's OBPF Title match and he comments on the Ippo vs. Sanada fight because it has just finished in the Manga.

If you just Completed the 75 Episode Anime:
You will want to continue with Volume 31 - Round 269, the day right after Lallapalooza ends.

[Segan]

So Ippo didn't get mad when his student got his ass handed to him, but as soon as they downplay Miyata, here comes serious Ippo. I'm starting see why he never asked out Kumi.Doesn't really have to do anything with it.

I mean, it's not like Ippo didn't know that this could happen. It's boxing. Itagaki agreed to fight and RBJ beat him fair and square. Why would Ippo get angry over this?

It's different from "badmouthing" - that's what Sakaguchi basically did, even without any offending language.

[rockst☆r sin]

I know all of that already and the true reason why Ippo wants to spar. It's just that I'm tired of this big Miyata admiration that Ippo has. Even the reporter said Ippo lost his cool because of Sakaguchi dissing his boyfriend.

[Segan]

It was one of his defining features back in the days of the Rookie Tournament. It helped Ippo to become the boxer he is today.

No reason he would lose his admiration of Miyata.

[rockst☆r sin]

You read from Chapter 1 to Chapter 799, so you know how Ippo acts towards Miyata. Takamura is the reason why Ippo, Aoki, and Kimura started boxing, and they doesn't get glossy eyed every time he's around either. They make fun of him every time he acts that way too.

[Segan]

Actually, Takamura isn't the reason, why Ippo started boxing, he was more like a signpost to the world of boxing. And the reason why Ippo got to box is another entirely different topic.

Miyata, however, was the first one to have interacted with Ippo in the ring. And Ippo was simply impressed by him from the first moment and he kept that till today. He even explained that to Itagaki, who didn't understand why Ippo wasn't mad over Miyata for breaking the promise.

[Dream Brother]

Thoughts on the upcoming spar, now that the 'pumped-up-hell-yeah' feeling has gone down enough for me to think it over properly:

Ippo generally sucks at spars. He was completely matched by the rookie Imai not just once, but twice, and arguably even beaten in the latter one. Floored over and over again by Date, not even able to land a single punch on Martinez and beaten with just a left hand (although this one is of course understandable, as Martinez is Satan in the ring) and completely suckered/outboxed by Shigeta's southpaw stance and jabs. He has, however, done well in sparring one or two times in the past, and I think Miyata hit it right on the nail when he said that it’s all to do with the ‘tone’ of how he’s hit. From the IO scan:

http://www.confusticated.com/ignition-one/old/online/5X/ippo-v57-p005.jpg

Randy, fortunately here, is obviously really strong. He’s not on a demon level (Martinez) but he’s also not weak enough for Ippo to get beat on, ala Imai. Combine this with the fact that Ippo is now looking determined and intense as hell -- they insulted his hero Miyata, after all -- and I highly doubt that RBJ will destroy him. I think it should be fairly even, maybe with RBJ having the edge but not utterly outclassing Ippo. Should be good.

I agree with Segan that this casts doubts on a possible real match between Ippo/RBJ, though, and thus elevates Miyata’s chances of winning the fight. Then again, since the spar is only for one round it could be just a big teaser, with very little being landed or ending in something like a draw, which wouldn’t make a future match between the two of them too unlikely. All sorts of possibilities right now, and the fact that it’s now been revealed that RBJ is shooting for Martinez may also be very significant in that it hints at a long term player arriving on the scene, not simply a guy who will fight once against Miyata and then disappear after losing. Gonna be interesting, whatever happens.

[Sirius]

Anybody know what chapter the Ippo-Imai spar was in? And im thinking this spar is going to be somewhat similiar to the first 1-2 minutes of the Ippo/Mashiba spar, fairly even with no real big blows being dealt. This creates a standard showing that Ippo and Miyata are still at the same level, when Miyata beats RBJ :).

[Kisame]

you took the scan I was going to use for an example on dynamite glove about ippo and this fight.

That'd be right here. (http://www.confusticated.com/ignition-one/ippo.php?chap=511&img=08)

At any rate, as much as I want Ippo to wail on Candy Boy, what I expect to happen is probably for Ippo to do well in the beginning since he's all in Orochi Ippo mode, but for him to inevitably fall to RBJ in his heated up BURNING mode since traditionally speaking, Ippo only does well when 1) he's had a bunch of time to prepare for his opponent and knows what to gun for or 2) has someone in his corner to give him sehr gut advice and he has neither. But who knows, maybe he'll prove me wrong and that would be awesome.

[Segan]

It's not like RBJ knows anything about Ippo's style and skills. And at this point, Ippo has the advantage because he knows RBJ's style, and I would imagine that Ippo had been thinking about how he would fight if he had to fight him.

[Yamato-takeru]

It's not like RBJ knows anything about Ippo's style and skills. And at this point, Ippo has the advantage because he knows RBJ's style, and I would imagine that Ippo had been thinking about how he would fight if he had to fight him.

Ippo's bad at fighting things, which he didn't train for. And RBJ's boxing resolves around switching stances and surprising.

Conclusion? I wanna see c800. :LOS

[Lazlow]

Gonna be interesting, whatever happens.

I really hope for that. RBJ has become one of my favorite boxers.

[Sirius]

To be honest, im kinda disappointed that Ippo got into the ring to spar. Im sick of him being a punching bag in order to hype opponents up, RBJ already has enough hype. Only way this is going to end well is if its an even match.

[Lazlow]

With that look on his face and determination, there ain't a chance he's gonna be a punching bag.

[Dream Brother]

To be honest, RBJ has already been hyped up to an amazing degree. Ippo doesn't need to get beaten up in order to reinforce the point, but I guess I wouldn't be surprised if it does happen.

[Moridin]

I think it'll be a draw, or Ippo will be about to make a devastating hit when the bell goes.

But having been told Ippo is the one who best matches upto RBJ in style, I think it'll then be re-iterated that Miyata's style is one of the worst match ups against Randy.

So we'll be left guessing as to who's currently better, an Ippo who's style matched up better who was able to keep up with RBJ without sustaining a bad hit whilst looking like landing one himself, or Miyata who ends up winning the fight but taking a lot of punishment along the way.

[Kisame]

nah I think we are in for a 1 round Ippo decimation, but its later revealed rbj had something else but he didnt want to have to use it in a spar.

I highly doubt that Ippo would do much with Kumi anyway even after he tells her his feelings. The relationship probably wouldn't change much and Ippo seems very comfortable with just spending time with her and talking to her - even if it is just about boxing and Miyata. The only way I could see Ippo wanting to really progress things is by being pushed or forced into it by Takamura, Aoki and Kimura like what happened earlier in the series.

Anyway, I quite like the Mashiba Ryo X Itagaki relationship. I like their interaction. Itagaki's a very brave guy!

Here's a sneak peak of the magazine cover for this chapter. Maybe we'll get something in the next few days. It's taken from the Shonen magazine website. Thanks to dfdubya on Dynamite Glove for finding it.

Seems like a good cover, that follows on with the badass Ippo from last week's chapter - it's like he ripped of his training top in the same way as he took of his shirt ala Superman. I think Ippo may do better in this spar than I had initially thought.

http://www.shonenmagazine.com/cover_img/2008/20651_0206.jpg

Hey, is it just me, or does Ippo start to act "manlier" as of lately? I love that cover!

[Moridin]

I'm itching to see what goes down this week xD

[Segan]

Well, Ippo's at least going to feel RBJ's punches, that's for sure. Speedwise, RBJ should be better than Ippo anyway.

But Ippo is king at slugging it out with his opponents :LOS

[Yak]

CBJ's face already hinted that he's not going to take this last round too lightly, seeing how Ippo's a heavy hitter. Speedwise I'd also hand it to Candy Boy but he doesn't outclass Ippo. Each of them are going to get some hits in, but I rather see CBJ trying to avoid criticals from those cannon arms while he himself will place some nice counters which Ippo in turn will simply suck up and swallow. Dude's like a brickwall when it comes to taking hits.

[Segan]

Yeah, Ippo's a tank. Which others would qualify for the title "tank"? Sendou, Shimabukuro and Date certainly do.

[Yak]

Yeah, Ippo's a tank. Which others would qualify for the title "tank"? Sendou, Shimabukuro and Date certainly do.

Date, hm. He's different. I doubt he's as much as a tank as the others you mentioned. But Date has or at least had absolutely crazy, world-stage level willpower which far surpassed his physique.

Hm, Kamogawa himself was the tank type himself and he actually had the absolutely hardest punch in the entire Ippo verse.

It looks like Imai may have sparred with Miyata and is returning back to the gym. I wonder what he'll say to Ippo if they bump into each other and also what Sakaguchi says to Ippo is the most interesting thing about this chapter.

I didn't expect too much from a single round spar between pretty high-level boxers, but I was expecting to be left with a clearer view on what kind of match up there will be between Ippo and RBJ.

Edit: Okay try this:

Stop ignoring me, damn it :yell

[Wolfwood]

It would be a let down if Ippo actually dominates RBJ in any way or shape.

maybe, but morikawa could have shown us at least one or two chapters of Ippo vs. RBJ awesomnes, even though it probably would have been just a draw.

2 weeks of wait and it came down to this. :mad

I'm interested about what RBJ told him outside the gym

[Segan]

I'm pretty sure, he's called Sakaguchi, and not Sagakuchi.

[Lazlow]

Oh, you're right. Fixed it for ya. :zaru

[Dream Brother]

Morikawa, you teasing bastard.

[Segan]

Now I'm really hoping for Miyata to lose. I freakin' want Ippo vs. RBJ.

[rockst☆r sin]

As I read this from the beginning to the end, I just feel like this was a prequel to the chapter. Where the hell is the epic 800 we were waiting for? War Ippo vs. CBJ should of been better than this.

[Dream Brother]

Now I'm really hoping for Miyata to lose. I freakin' want Ippo vs. RBJ.

Likewise. Got the makings of a classic fight -- in a way I'm kind of glad that they didn't spar I guess, because that would have made it seem more likely that Miyata would go on to defeat RBJ, and then RBJ would leave the scene completely. This way is more interesting because it could be argued that it sets him up as a long term and much more significant character that will, like Mashiba, most likely go on to fight both Miyata and Ippo. Unlike Mashiba, though, he won't need to cheat to beat Miyata. I'm interested in seeing how Morikawa handles this.

And yes, another part of me is still deflating from the lack of Ippo/RBJ spar. Soooo close...

[Chi]

Oh come on. All my hopes and dreams... :(
Can anyone at least give some summary of the chapter?
Sagakuchi and RBJ better be talking about something big to, at least, decrease the damage made by disappointment.

No time to upload to other places, torrent only, late for class now...

EDIT:

Grad School's a bitch... On top of that, I just found out that an appeal for a bullshit traffic citation I have isn't going to go through because of a paperwork error and a place I ordered textbooks from (Alibris) a week ago just canceled my order after they said they had already shipped my books. Grrr... Anyhow, here's some RapidShit Links and whatnot.

Please note there's an error on page 6 where Ippo says RBJ is in Southpaw Style when he's actually in Orthodox.

[Wolfwood]

thanks Puar!

after reading the chapter I got the feeling, that Miyata might actually lose against RBJ and that Ippo will fight him after that, to avenge his dear ex-boyfriend.

then again, this would pretty much destroy any chance Miyata has, to take on the world...

[Segan]

Not necessarily. I would imagine Miyata moving on a higher weight class after the fight.

[Wolfwood]

but if Miyata would loose against RBJ, he would also loose his purpose to box: to prove that his fathers way of boxing DOES work. I don't think he'd be able to just move on...

[Lazlow]

Thanks Puar.

[jkingler]

I honestly don't think Miyata would give up that easily. He lost to Ippo, and has been wanting to avenge that loss ever since.

I imagine if he lost to RBJ, he'd have a hell of a lot of motivation to come back and kick his ass: he'd still be trying to prove his father's style, avenge his father's loss to RBJ Sr., AND he'd want revenge for his own loss. XD

[~Mamoru~]

Thanks Puar!

I wonder what rank Ippo is, since he's in the top 9? I reckon he might be the 9th rank and I guess it doesn't mean that if RBJ beats Miyata that he'll take his rank by the sounds of it. Instead it looks like it'll improve his credentials and his from what it is currently. Beating Ippo probably helps rack up more points and increase his rank further, enough to be able to earn himself a title shot against Martinez.

I guess the next chapter might have a return of Imai and some info on where he's been. Presumably, he's been sparring with Miyata and judging by his look he might provide some hype for Miyata before this fight. Has it been said how long there is left till the fight starts in the Ippo-timeline. It can't be too long - perhaps a week or so?

It would be interesting for Ippo to travel to the Phillipines to fight RBJ if it does happen and I like the way that Morikawa's made the outcome of this fight more ambiguous over the last few weeks. Though I still think that Miyata will win, I do think he'll be pretty damaged to set up a fight with Ippo right away, which might give Ippo the time to fight the Australian champion. Though it'll be tough on Miyata to keep up with this weight management if he's injured.

[Blind Itachi]

way to break ones hopes on something special about chapter 800 :lmao...

[Blizzard chain]

I just noticed a TTGL reference when rereading the ippo/sisfa fight....

Nice observation. :LOS

[Jesus Date]

oh...

I see...

no you don't, you little silly :hehee

does anyone else think Miyata will go up a weight class after the RBJ fight?

[Segan]

Possible, but Miyata has proven to be very stubborn. If Miyata loses without any major (and permanent drawbacks) I would assume that Miyat will stick around featherweight to get another shot at RBJ.

[Check Hook]

im pissed...they couldve at LEAST thrown one punch...sH!T!!

but any way RBJ still beats both the japanese and then the mexican then moves up and gets beaten to a pulp by the russian smile-bigsmile-big

[Segan]

I take it, you're talking about Vorg? He's in junior lightweight, so him beating Martinez is categorically out of question.

If Martinez wanted to move up a class, he could've done so a loooong time ago.

thats why i said AFTER RBJ dismantles the 2 japanese and BEATS the mexican in the toughest fight of his career...then thinks his ALL THAT and moves up but gets his shit handed to him by the RUSSIAN :laugh:laugh....that would really be AWESOME, dont ya think so?? smile-big

[Segan]

Not really. RBJ will stopped by Ippo anyway. :pek

[Xan_Aloufin]

a 2 weeks wait completly pumped up.. checking the sites every second to get a glimpse of the new chapter and then when it finally came.... THIS IS IT?

i was so excited to read this?

maybe its a important to build up a Ippo vs RJB for later but morikawa could have done it without fooling all readers and turn all their expatations to shit after that kick ass chapter 2 weeks ago...

*sighs*....

reading ippo from week to week isn't satisfieing you should wait a half year and then read a couple of chapters.. without annoying cliffhangers ^^

[The Drunken Monkey]

Damn, dissapointing 800th chapter.

But now maybe a possible RBJ vs. Ippo in the future.

[Sigbin-Puti]

hope miyata loses then ippo v.s RBJ in my homeland.

[Puar]

What's TTGL and how is that a reference?

[Jesus Date]

toppa tengen gurren lagann a very popular anime and the reference is "The Final Punch was an Uppercut that pierced the heavens", something similar was said in the anime.

[Moridin]

though I'm pretty sure that chapter was out before TTGL even aired and thus TTGL made reference to the awesomeness that is Ippo ¬__¬

[Segan]

Probably, it was out at least a year ago, while TTGL was only around for a few months.
