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

[SaiST]

I-O is seven different shades of awesome. :D

Many thanks, Puar.

[Death]

Thanks for the torrent. Just got done reading 740, and that has got to be one of the best matches for Ippo yet. Now all I want to see is the Miyata vs. Randy Boy Jr fight and Takamura title defence.

[BlitzRonin]

Yeah, first we'll probably be seeing the rest of the crew's fights though..

Probably each of their fights will take 2-3 chapters...

I'm curious to see if Itagaki's opponent has Slow Battle as well...

And if Takamura's opponent is any good.

[Moridin]

wow, quite the explosive ending to that match!

I am so looking forward to seeing how everyone elses fight goes, and the Miyata vs randy boy fight should be quite the spectacal

[Death]

Takamura's fight will most likely be a chapter long. Just like all of his other matches, he wins them pretty easily once he takes the belt.

Itagaki's fight could be 2-3 chapters long and that would suit his character just fine too.

The Miyata vs Randy boy jr. fight will most likely be a volume in 1/2 and that would just be awsome.

[BlitzRonin]

Miyata Vs Randy Boy is going to be the next MAJOR fight...

The first one we have had since Ippo Vs Take. I could see this going for 3 Volumes or so...

This is Miyata's nemesis, defeating him, means that Miyata gets revenge for his dad. It also proves that his fighting style is in fact capable of going on to the world level, etc..

This will be the first tough opponent Miyata has had since Arnie... I see him being a supremely balanced southpaw, with more power than Miyata.

He looks to be based on Manny Pac and Randy Suico.

[Cthulhu-versailles]

^ Well, Mr Takamonoguchi did sat he found Miyata's weakness.
I highly doubt he was referring to the power either.
I think Miyata is the type of fighter who would have trouble against an opponent who fights with instinct and only instinct. Similar to the way Ricardo was fighting when he got serious against Date. I personally see Randy boy as a southpaw like you said, but one who relies mostly on instinct and has a very street like fighting style mixed in with his boxing. He! Kind of like pac...

I also think that under Randy boys Instinctual style lies a knack for counter puching. However, counter punching which is not simple counter punching but something with extra ump, that is deadly.

I definetly think Miyata is going to have his jolt broken and is going to need to perfect it in this fight. Miyata will need to go both beyond what seemed to be the ideals of his dad's boxing, and find out how he can use his own boxing.

It's going to be a sweet ass fight. I think it my very well be able to come close to the utter Godlyness that was Hawk Vs Takamura.

-The ippo vS Jimmy fight was fun fucking fantastic. Ippo's final blow was distrubing. I also think the fight had a great pace, and Jimmy's thoughts througout were great, as was seeing Ippo evovle his boxing just that much more. Now he has truly mastered the dempsey roll. Imagine all the possibilites that he can use with it now. It's crazy. Ricardo, you're next!

Lastly, Puar, Ignition-One, you guys are fucking awesome. The quality and sheer speed of releases, over this catch up period, has been amazing, if not the best I've ever seen. You guys are what have made this pleasurable reading possible. Well, off course Morikawa helped to.:wink Seriously though, thanks guys. Never abadon Ippo. EVER. :nod

[Hiruma]

I like how Onimaru said : 'Ippo use atomic bomb! It beats rock!' and at the end of the fight the announcer says 'the Japanese champion has detonated a nuclear explosion!'

[Puar]

I like how Onimaru said : 'Ippo use atomic bomb! It beats rock!' and at the end of the fight the announcer says 'the Japanese champion has detonated a nuclear explosion!'

Serendipity, baby.

You guys are what have made this pleasurable reading possible. Well, off course Morikawa helped to.:wink Seriously though, thanks guys. Never abadon Ippo. EVER. :nod

Mad props to Morikawa and a pleasure to be of service. Hopefully, we'll get the new RAW tomorrow and we can keep the party going.

[Hagen]

[SaiST]

What's Kamogawa yellin' at Ippo for? :/

[Moridin]

dunno really, he seems happy at the end of the chapter. It could be his typical 'can't let him get a big head' sort of thing, that or something to do with Ippo doing something that could heart his body like that. But that'd kinda contradict his thoughts about Ippo needing to throw that punch :/

[BlitzRonin]

Kamogawa looks like he is starting to see the fruits of his labor ripen right before his eyes.

Hamstar did a great summary for the new raw over on the Dynamite Glove boards:

http://westbound.proboards34.com/index.cgi?board=HnI&action=display&thread=1111886145&page=148

[Moridin]

awesome, ty for the heads up on that ^__^

clears up a bunch of stuff, Takamura's opinion was as insightful as ever.

[Kyuubi Naruto]

Great chapter this week.

Kamogawa is a smart man. Planning everything from the beginning just to get this far. He did look a bit sadistic though but I would too if it ended up the way I wanted it to.

[Colossus]

that thing that takamura said that those vertical punches will shorten ippo's carrier , do you think if ippo will continue to strengthen his leg muscles he wont get any permanent damage? i dont want to see ippo's carrier shorten :cry

[Shroomsday]

I reckon it would be very downbeat for Ippo to end up with some nasty permanent injury. The series isn't quite as gritty as something like Ashita no Joe. Not to say it couldn't happen to another boxer, but I reckon Ippo'll stay healthy for the most part.

[Puar]

I feel obliged to comment on how awesome his current coloured sig looks XD

You're too kind, too kind!

Kamogawa to the World: "I NEED A BEER!" Highlights at ten...

Volume 77 Cover





Features Never Before Seen Characters and a Surprise

http://www.dynamiteglove.com/77.jpg

http://www.dynamiteglove.com/77odd.jpg


Speculation - The guy on top is the Philippines Feather Champ, the guy on the right is the Korean Feather Champ.

Alternate Theory - The guy on top is Arnie with cool new hair.

Also, looks like our boy is back wearing Blue an White

[Moridin]

oooh awesome cover ^___^

decent speculation as to who they are as well

[SaiST]

Release date?

[BlitzRonin]

Release date you say?

How about....next week!

August 17, 2006




oooh awesome cover ^___^

decent speculation as to who they are as well

Yeah I figure, Morikawa drew this cover, so that when we look back, we will see that he outlined Ippo's path to the world.

I don't see him fighting ALL the OPBF National Champs, but just the ones from the major countries featured in the manga. In this case, Thailand, Phillipines, Korea, Australia, etc..

Who knows maybe he'll only fight these three in ascending order? The guy at the top looks really cool. I hope he's like Saeki and super fast.

[SaiST]

Release date you say?

How about....next week!

August 17, 2006
HQ scanslations sooooon~ :D

Question about Mashiba:

How does this suspension effect Mashiba's rank? When he comes back, will he be the #1 contender for the National Title be default? Or will he have to come on back up from the lower ranks?

[BlitzRonin]

Well, Fuji said that Mashiba told him he was just going to take his time off to focus on training for the world.

So he's not going to worry about the JBC Title anymore.

His rank shouldn't have dropped that much in the World or OPBF, because he lost by DQ, not by KO or decision.

Up until that point he dominated his opponents (save Kimura who he toyed with), so I think he is still pretty high in the OPBF and World Rankings.

We never got his actual world rank like we did with Ippo, Miyata, Vorg and Sendo. We saw Ippo and Miyata in the magazine and Vorg and Sendo beat named rank people, so..we can guess that there ranks are around what those people were.

[Segan]

Hey, one question:

The only reason why Miyata stayed in Ippo's weight class was because of the promised match between the both. But now that they aren't going to fight each other, then Miyata has no reason to stay in featherweight class and can move to a higher weight class and use full power of his natural weight, right?

Or maybe there's still something Miyata has to settle with that ominous dark man, I believe he's a high ranked OPBF boxer, (forgot his name)...?

[Shroomsday]

Well yes, it's speculated that the man, Randy Boy Jr, is the son of the man who ended Miyata's father's career.

[TheGenius]

I think Hajime No Ippo was made into one of the best animes out there smile-big
and the manga is just as good!! smile-big

[Shiraishi]

From the new volume cover, it looks like the skeleton looking characther seems like the Korean fighter and the top one looks like maybe the Chinese champion? No idea.

The next fights should take us to at least the 780's with the Randy/Miyata fight.

[Akatsuki Bozz]

YO
i love that manga
its about a boxer but with girls and fun too(a lot penis jokes...)

i'm actually at volume 8
will ippo get a girlfriend ?

[Moridin]

^ Ippo is still in the same shaky relationship state where he really should be going out with Kumi but isn't.

hopefully this thread will be getting a bit more active as the pimping projects picked up a bit more steam :)

[Shiraishi]

Ippo is around 24 now, and he still hasn't kissed a girl...hasn't even hugged one, right? I mean, that is sad. Also, his relationship with Kumi SEEMS to getting better; Mashiba is getting more and more less hard on Ippo and letting them stay closer together.

Still, Itagaki's sister and the reporter are still after Ippo as well. Sadly, Ippo is at the age of a pre-teen when it comes to girls, so we may NEVER see Ippo with a girl.

[Segan]

I thought Ippo was around 22, not 24...? It was said in the pimping thread.

[Puar]

Ippo is indeed 22 at the moment... His birthday is November 23, 1973 and it's August 1, 1996 in the Manga right now.

[Kurosaki-Kun]

What is the volume when Takamura defeats uh.. the hawk dude.. The bad one not the good one lol.. Spikey hair.. street fighting style?

*edit* ahh his name is bryan hawk. the good one I was thinking of was david eagle.

[Puar]

Takamura's title actual fight against Brian Hawk begins at the start of Volume 43 and ends in Volume 44 taking up the entirety of Both Volumes.

[Tehol Beddict]

I do wish they had gotten to that fight in the anime. It's definitely one of my favorites :(

[ElementalShinobi]

Thank you for this, I just started reading that manga recently.

[Moridin]

Judge your latest sig totally reminds me of some of the takamura fight posters

[Tehol Beddict]

Oi, doesnt takamura have the most wicked fucking promo's though? :amazed

I should go back through it and compile all of the posters for everyone's fights, that'd be a nice litte flip-through project as soon as I finish Preacher. That's a damn lot of flipping though >_<

[Akatsuki Bozz]

...
20+ and no girlfriend ...
:cry

[Segan]

Yeah, it seems that Ippo only matures inside the ring, but outside he practically has been the same in six years...

[Shroomsday]

Should really post this here too, hope we get a translation for this chapter soon :)

Round 742 Raw:
http://www.sendspace.com/file/38ww9h

Looks like Takamura's looking an animal to name a new attack with, but otherwise the rest is slightly tricky to decode. It almost looks like there might be some romantic progress, but probably slight.

[SaiST]

Seems like Takamura's trying to think of a new finishing blow named after an animal, like his Kouhai.

... And it didn't work out. smile-big

[Segan]

You mean Takamura wants a name like the Frog Punch or something similar?

[Segan]

Shouldn't you make a new thread for this? ^^

[SaiST]

... What for?

[Segan]

Oh, I didn't see the changed topic. I just thought for every new chapter a new thread would be made.

[Moridin]

nah, all topics in the library floor 2 contain just a series, not a single chapter.

anyways chapter seems interesting, looking forward to finding out what Ippo and Kumi are saying as well as Takamura at the end of the chapter. If he really wants to name a punch after an animal I think something mythological would probably suit him more than anything.

[Hiruma]

Phoenix Punch would totally own tbh. Or Hawk Punch or something.

[BlitzRonin]

I like how Kumi is looking, dressing, etc. a bit like Yuki did. Although they were having a picnic I guess.

I'm not sure what kind of punch Takamura could use....as almost every punch he throws is a special move.

If it's not named after a hawk, he'll do something to pay homage to that Bear he beat.

[Kisame]

takamura will utilize the frog punch.

[Segan]

Or something like Bear claws?

[Kisame]

nah he will never have a serious punch.

I mean he tried to use the lookaway in a title match.

Whatever he comes up with will be silly.

[Midus]

Perverted dog...

[Moridin]

might as well up the hi-res 77 cover

http://img156.imageshack.us/img156/7884/77000ack0.th.jpg (http://img156.imageshack.us/my.php?image=77000ack0.jpg)

[Segan]

I can't recognize two of the three faces in the background. One is Jimmy "Scratch J" Sisfa, right? Who are the two others?

[Moridin]

speculation is that they are national champions of other countries champs in the Oriental region. One being the Korean champ and possibly the top one being Arnie from Australia.

[Segan]

The Korean champ didn't appear before, right? But wasn't Arnie the one Miyata fought against a while ago? That Croco-Man or so...

[Manetheren]

yeah, he was the one Miyata beat to win the OPBF title if I am not mistaken.

So it is likely that he may have retaken the Australian championship after that loss.

[Tehol Beddict]

Mm, I-O's lq 742 scan is out.

[Moridin]

oooh awesome ^___^

and woah, takamura did actually think up something o_O

is it going to be something absolutely stupid again or do you think he'll have actually worked out something that'll work?

[Manetheren]

on one hand, it would be very "takamura" to come up with something idiotic to use (ala stealing Aoki's look away)... but on the other... It IS about time Takamura had some sort of special move.

I guess that once he figured out what it was Kamogawa was doing with Ippo to perfect the Dempsey, he finally realized that he has never had a signature move.

[Segan]

Well, at least his words in the last panels were very promising...

[Shroomsday]

Maybe the king of the jungle? Ippo commented that Takamura resembled one before, so it would have some grounding. Although it could just be Takamura as the animal himself or a bear themed one. Naturally the attacks aren't so much about the animal as one of their characteristics, but with Takamura who knows.

[Vegeta]

Personally, I don't think Takamura is capable of being serious...

[Segan]

There's a sidenote on the scanlation, something about "King Crab Pincher Blow"...

If you loot at the pics, this kind of crab is freaking huge...

[Vegeta]

Thats the editor or translator making a joke.

[delirium]

What happened to the Bear Slaying punch? At any rate.. King... King Cobra maybe? I don't know how that would fit in with his style of boxing though.

But on a more serious note.. When is Ippo going to bum Kumi?! Gettin all stressed out over Miyata like that. Dude needs that Marvin Gaye healing.

[Shroomsday]

Maybe now Miyata's left that hole in his heart he'll finally take the pain of rejection in his stride and act on Kumi.

[Vegeta]

Lol @ Shroomsday.

I get the feeling that HnI can only get better from here. I really want to see more of Recardo, I mean he is so awesome. :fangirl

[Death]

I agree with that HnI can only get better. As Ippo and everyone else moves up in the ranks, the fights will get better and the characters will start to evolve more.

[Vegeta]

I just wanna see Kimura and Aoki capture the Japanese titles.

Itagaki vs Miyata :drool :brainhaemorrhage

[Tehol Beddict]

I want to know just how good that bishi fucker is. I mean, they're already wondering about how him and ippo would go, and he's had just the rookie king tourney matches at this point, and at the end, he was an untouchable beast. Kind of scary.

I want aokimura to cap the japanese titles too. It was heartbreaking at first, and now it's back to being a comedy sideshow >_<

I also wonder how many rounds it will be until the "unbeatable" infinity dempsey roll will be beaten xD Since, they're not gonna let him just walk through the rest of the manga untouched, and all.

[NinjaKai]

Maybe now Miyata's left that hole in his heart he'll finally take the pain of rejection in his stride and act on Kumi.
You make it sound like they were a couple. Perhaps therapy would help them both. XD

[Segan]

I also wonder how many rounds it will be until the "unbeatable" infinity dempsey roll will be beaten xD Since, they're not gonna let him just walk through the rest of the manga untouched, and all.

But you do know that the Dempsey Roll is evolving? I get the feeling that Ippo will be only able to use the infinite Dempsey at the very end, when he fights Miyata or Ricardo Martinez...

[SaiST]

The new Dempsey Roll still puts too much strain on Ippo's legs. Pretty sure he'll be sealing it away for a long while again.

[Shroomsday]

I reckon that'll be the biggest hinderance on the roll for a long time, but just having something in reserve like that will give Ippo more confidence.

We really do need to see Itagaki in a fight again, if it was against a strong character we've seen fight before, that would be a bonus (although with Ippo's fights, they seem to either retire or leave the weight class). But considering how hyped up Hoshi was, the talk about how high Itagaki could go isn't all that surprising.

Plus whether the dempsey is unbeatable or not is still uncertain. Regardless of its new form, if it isn't notably faster then Martinez could just do what he did the first time and jab the crap out of Ippo while he's getting started. I'd assume that it has gone up a notch, otherwise I don't think it would be completely uncounterable.

[Moridin]

Regardless of its new form, if it isn't notably faster then Martinez could just do what he did the first time and jab the crap out of Ippo while he's getting started.

I think that Ippo will probably still have to rely on using a combo before getting into the dempsey, he needs a solid punch or two (liver -> gazelle) to knock the opponent about and give him time to hit top speed before they can recover to try and counter it.

Once he's into full flow he should be pretty damn hard to stop, its just getting there that might be the problem.

I agree as well that his lower body still isn't strong enough for this to be used regularly but he does now have it as a last minute ditch throw of the dice.

I am really interested in seeing itagaki fight again, its hard to know what sort of rank he will fight though. I mean having absolutely destroyed Hoshi I would think a lot of higher ranked opponents would be quite worried about him.

[SaiST]

Plus whether the dempsey is unbeatable or not is still uncertain. Regardless of its new form, if it isn't notably faster then Martinez could just do what he did the first time and jab the crap out of Ippo while he's getting started.
He went through training before the fight with Shimabukuro to increase both the speed and power of the roll. Then he started hitting logs into the Earth to strengthen his side twisting motions. It's still improving...

I don't think Martinez will have a very easy time hitting Ippo during the Dempsey Roll now. >_>

[delirium]

You make it sound like they were a couple. Perhaps therapy would help them both. XD

Hell yeah they were a couple. See how the usually level headed Miyata kowtowed to Ippo on the riverbank? Agreed on the Dempsey being sealed off again for a while. He needs more fights like the one against Karasawa.

[Segan]

Maybe Ippo should begin to wear weights and to try to keep his training in the same pace as before...that would increase his basic speed and power even faster.
Then he should be able to handle the infinite Dempsey more than just once in a day...

[Vegeta]

It would be a good thing for him to follow Sendou and do weighted training. Ippo probably would try any type of training to get stronger, thats whats so great about the little genius.

I hope one there will be a Itagaki vs. Ippo, it'd be awesome. AWESOME!

[Tehol Beddict]

Well, I know it's strained his lower body when he used it, and like everything, it can be improved in pure power and speed, but I meant form-wise. Do you think they'll let him stroll through the rest of the manga with it's new "complete" "evolved" form, and that's that? I have a hard time believing that to be the case. Too many fights left for him.

Itagaki is a wild card. It kind of scares me how he could fuck up the dynamics I've got laid out in my head xD

Will a mashiba vs. vorg happen in the future?

And what of sendou? Now we've got itagaki coming into the picture.
Too. Many. People :cry

[Segan]

The world of boxing is supposed to have many strong and skilled people...

Anyway, I reread the latest chapters and after Kamogawa's lecture on Ippo (after beating Jimmy Sisfa), I remembered that the old man wasn't any better in fighting style. In fact, Kamogawa's fighting style in his younger days is practically the same as Ippo's nowadays...
So, in a way, the old man is lecturing himself, isn't he? :D

[Vegeta]

I just think seeing Itagaki vs. Anyone would be fun. The way he destroyed Hoshi was amazing. I wanna see Miyata vs Itagaki >=D

[Shroomsday]

It would certainly be a good match to clarify the extent of Itagaki's abilities. Though it's pretty damned unlikely to ever happen.

[delirium]

Unless, since he can't go after the Japanese title just yet, he goes straight after the OPBF. But, that's kind of unlikely too since, the way it's set up, he'll probably battle it out with Hoshi again for the Japanese title once it's relinquished.

I think Taira got into it about putting in the set up for the Dempsey (liver to Gazelle). He has to get that set up in or else even the infinite would be useless. So it's not exactly undefeatable, just at a certain point. Because if you don't recieve that Gazelle, you can always just push forward and stop the rotation before he gains momentum.

[Shroomsday]

The problem with Itagaki going OPBF is that there's the area where Ippo's fighting at the moment (even though it's more a way to raise his ranking in the World). I'm still somewhat hoping Itagaki'll break away and take a shot at the Japanese Title along with Kumi. It'll force out some major development all round (particularly between Ippo and Kumi).

I wonder when we'll see Imai return to the scene. He might actually manage to get a rematch with Itagaki if Itagaki doesn't challenge Ippo.

Did anyone else notice that the dempsey didn't really require much build up to get started this time? One dodge to the side and then the new version from the next weave. Ippo seems to be able to get the neccessary momentum without much of any build up.

[Vegeta]

Build up? You forgetting when he destroyed that dude in the first round before Takamura's title match with Hawk?

[Moridin]

Build up? You forgetting when he destroyed that dude in the first round before Takamura's title match with Hawk?

the dempsey was still a surprise then, the guy wasnt the best boxer in the world and didn't see it coming, nor did he know how to stop it like Martinez would.

Did anyone else notice that the dempsey didn't really require much build up to get started this time?

they were punching from side to side for quite a considerable while in that match and nothing was stopping ippo from accelerating, but that said I guess he did kick it up a notch pretty quickly at the finish

[Segan]

Ippo won't relinquish the Japanese Title...or did I misunderstand what Kamogawa said to Ippo after Ippo decided to continue boxing?
Itagaki won't be able to chase after the Japanese Title unless Ippo relinquishes it or Itagaki leaves the Kamogawa Gym...

[Shroomsday]

That's correct. The inevitable A-Class tournament and Champion's Carnival will probably decide what'll happen with Itagaki.

the dempsey was still a surprise then, the guy wasnt the best boxer in the world and didn't see it coming, nor did he know how to stop it like Martinez would.

Actually the fighter would've countered if he hadn't been clipped on the chin just beforehand (and subsequently stumbled on his punch).

[Segan]

If it was just the title, it wouldn't be that much of a problem. Ippo could just face one or two more oppenents on national level and then relinquish the belt and fighting on international level from there on.
But I get the feeling that Itagaki won't be after the title, but after Ippo himself, once he finds himself capable of challenging his senpai. In other words, Itagaki has to leave Kamogawa Gym when he ever wants to fight Ippo...

[Vegeta]

I do think that Itagaki will eventually leave the gym, I mean Ippo is the perfect target for someone like himself. He's completely ambious and sees in Ippo a great rival. Just like every single other featherweight in the series...

[bangli]

I do think that Itagaki will eventually leave the gym, I mean Ippo is the perfect target for someone like himself. He's completely ambious and sees in Ippo a great rival. Just like every single other featherweight in the series...


well, ippo and itagaki have a promise that itagaki will take the belt back to kamogawa gym after ippo reluingish his title... so i think they're not going to fight each other..

[Vegeta]

Still it'd be real awesome if they fought.

[BlitzRonin]

The perfect setting would be this -

Ippo is probably going to fight two more National Champs...

He beats the last one and relinquishes the title.

This should time up right with the Class A Boxer Tournament Semi-Finals...

Then whoever wins the tournament is the new champ.

I think that the following people will be in the Semi's - Karasawa, Itagaki, Hoshi and Imai.

Probably will be Imai Vs Hoshi and Itagaki Vs Karasawa..

leading to Imai Vs Itagaki II for the title (so in a way we get to see a Miyata - Ippo title fight...but don't again)

[Vegeta]

That would be perfect.

A God among men BlitzRonin, thank you very much!

Right the new chapter:

Takamura's punch was somewhat predictably not as predicted. His example on Aoki was superb though.

Itagaki's KO seemed to further enforce the god mode thing. Even Miyata's not as renowned for cleaning up that fast in an easy fight.

[SaiST]

Itagaki = beastly.

[Vegeta]

Itagaki is my God. -bows to Lord Itagaki-

[BlitzRonin]

Alex Harker seemed like a hard puncher too... I mean Itagaki purposely dodged by a hair and that missed blow made his hair fly.

Yeah this kid is getting good... real good.

Here are the updated records for the trio -


Aoki - 11-6-3, 7 KO's

Kimura - 14-4-3, 9 KO's

Itagaki - 9-1, 7 KO's

Aoki started out losing a lot of his matches before he strated to do unorthodox stuff (as we learned from tidbits in the Imae fight) so that's why his record looks so bad.

Kimura....he doesn't look too bad. A journeyman's record for sure, but a semi-respectable one given that he lost to a national champ and tied with another one twice.

Itagaki = ownage...his debut lost being his only ghost which he has put to bed.

[Segan]

Well, he didn't seem to have won faster than Kimura...

[SaiST]

Well, he didn't seem to have won faster than Kimura...
Itagaki = 1 Round KO.

Kimura = 5 Round KO.

Aoki = ... 9 Round KO.

Morikawa should just have Aoki retire already, and let Kimura move on up to Lightweight. >_>

[BlitzRonin]

Well if you remember correctly even Aoki's debut match was a mud match that he managed to win. He's always been the one with the least amount of talent in the ring. Kimura won his first fight pretty easily, but he's pretty talented.

I don't like how it is progressing though -

Itagaki 1 R

Kimura 5 R

Aoki 9 R

What's next? Takamura 12 R haha?

[Shroomsday]

Takamura'll probably uppercut the guy in half. But I guess he could ask Itagaki to use his new powers to reverse time before it happened (because no one enjoys murder in the ring).

It could actually be a decent challenger, since I don't remember the press conference and there's a new move to show off. I don't reckon Takamura'll have any real problems though.

[BlitzRonin]

I hope he doesn't, after all I want to see him go after the WBC Super Middleweight title next..

Some people on the DG Forums think his punch might be a charging uppercut, but who knows.

You can't hit below the belt in boxing, so this punch won't be legal.

[Vegeta]

Could be just an Upper with a larger swing, meaning he'd need to build up into it. WEE I'm exicted!

[Cthulhu-versailles]

if Takamura's new move is related to the name then maybe it could be him ruuning at you like a cat, but instead just have his body hunched over forward and then lunge upwards with both fist, but combining then so one is a feint and used to block his face, and then hit with a secondary punch after the first.

-Whatever it is hopely he will combine his Takamura Lookaway...:nuts XD

[Shroomsday]

Well a supercharged uppercut might be a little similar to the new Dempsey's development. We'll probably be as in the dark as we were last week with our guesses.

[BlitzRonin]

According to Para, the end of the chapter says that Ippo won't be out next week... : (

So we'll have some time to think this over.

[Vegeta]

:cry :cry :cry :cry :cry

[jkingler]

Whatever it is, you know it will kick ass. Also, if what Puar suggested at the bottom of the last page of 742 were actually to happen, I think I would die from OD'ing on pure joy.

[Puar]

743 is available @ http://www.ignition-one.com and, apparently, our server got mega-raped because we host(ed) waaaaaaaay too much Manga and you guys love us that much. On a somewhat related note, just put up Google Ads as an alternate way for people to help contribute to our Ippo Cause @ http://ippo.confusticated.com/donate.html for all those who complained to me before about not being able to donate because of a lack of CC/PayPal/Funds/Sugar Daddy/Etc... But, yeah, I figure if, like, everyone who reads Ippo went and clicked on all the ads on that page each time they went to DL a chapter, that'd be swank. (;

[Kisame]

nah he will never have a serious punch.

I mean he tried to use the lookaway in a title match.

Whatever he comes up with will be silly.


gj your precog abilities pwns

Question: was itagaki introduced when the author said the three best boxers were

Takamura, ricardo, and Miyata?

[BlitzRonin]

I am not sure if Itagaki was around yet for that.

Also, I think that Vorg could have surpassed Miyata between then and now (since Vorg was retired at that point).

Morikawa needs to put together a little omake that has some JBC, OPBF, WBC, WBA and IBF rankings... so we know where all our guys stand in terms of the world and whatnot.

I was hoping something like that would be in Index 02, but it never came out that I know of.

[mortsleam]

my FAVORITE manga, it should be more known its great i love it.

I actually had to laugh...Takamura is funny ^^

[Shroomsday]

That was a pleasant surprise. These world contenders aren't all that much it seems.

[Segan]

Yeah, he just needed one damn punch to knock him out...

But man, what if that huge ass upper had connect? The teeth probably would have been hammered into the brain...

[Shroomsday]

Moreso that it seemed more of an accident. But was hopefully instinctive, otherwise it's like the guy stepped into Takamura's fist.

[Vegeta]

That fight sucked.

[Cthulhu-versailles]

...
Takumura really is the king. :D

[Hiruma]

Lol at Takamura.

[Kisame]

now thats done with we can get back to the star of the manga. Miyata <3

[Segan]

Since when is Miyata the star of the manga? It was, is and always will be Ippo... :p

[Kisame]

okay okay.

Co-stars.

[BlitzRonin]

That was kind of a waste of a chapter....

I agree on the Miyata thing. Miyata Vs Randy will be Miyata's equivelant of Ippo Vs Sendo II and Ippo Vs Sawamura.

It's gonna be big.

[Kisame]

please dont lose miyata :(

I dont think I can stand him losing again.

[Ikari Shinji]

Did Takamura even get to USE his new move? If not, it's just being saved for a bigger fight......hopefully

[BlitzRonin]

That actually wouldn't be a bad move.... right straight to stun, then left uppercut to finish. Maybe he'll drop this Beetle non sense and just use that... I mean, I think it was Morikawa making it easier on himself by copying and pasting that pose over and over...

Oh well, hopefully next week Takamura relinquishes the Middle title and announces that he is going to Super Middle.

[Segan]

That was kind of a waste of a chapter....

I agree on the Miyata thing. Miyata Vs Randy will be Miyata's equivelant of Ippo Vs Sendo II and Ippo Vs Sawamura.

It's gonna be big.

I wonder why Miyata does even bother to fight over the featherweight OPBF belt when he's not going to fight Ippo, meaning staying in featherweight would be meaningless...

Well, there must be something about Randy...

[Kisame]

duh...randy boy jr,,,,

thats teh son of the man that beat his father -_-

its obvious.

[BlitzRonin]

That's not been confirmed yet....but hints are being dropped like crazy...

Just what is more important to Miyata than his promise to Ippo?

Revenge for his dad....that's pretty much it.

[Kisame]

That's not been confirmed yet

Thats supposed to be a theory? Anyone who reads Ippo should see it.

[BlitzRonin]

Hopefully it is...but there are some holes -

1. Miyata Sr doesn't seem to know that it is him... or at least he is acting like he doesn't know.

2. Miyata Sr didn't tell Kamogawa and Yagi about it. I am sure they would find it a viable excuse..

3. Miyata Sr didn't comment on him when he first saw him in the audience or in the hallway.

It probably is...but it isn't a 100% sure thing. Nothing is in Hajime no Ippo.

[Segan]

Wich chapter did Kobashi beat Hayami?

[BlitzRonin]

Volume 33 Round 290

I am really surprised they didn't put it in the Champion Road OAV...

They could have taken out Sendo Vs Ippo II and saved some room for this.

Seeing as how we all saw Sendo Vs Ippo II already in the series.

[Vegeta]

I really want to download all of the HnI anime, but that'd take time and HDD space on a computer that isn't mine ='[

[jkingler]

Do you want to download it to keep it/watch it, or just to watch it? If the former...I can't help you.

If the latter, if you just want to rewatch it, you can use Azureus so that you only DL the eps you want to see. You can even choose to not download (or you can choose to delete) the eps you don't want, so you would only be DLing and taking up as much space as you wanted to. :P You can ask Shrooms. He knows it works. ^^

[Kisame]

hajime the fighting game for the gba has me in its grasp.

Miyata is the hardest first level ever <3

[BlitzRonin]

hajime the fighting game for the gba has me in its grasp.

Miyata is the hardest first level ever <3

Miyata isn't that hard, it starts getting really tough at Okita. For some reason he was the first wall I hit.

Oh and please, put those Miyata pics in your sig on your own image account (especially the animated gif one) instead of direct linking to them, thanks.

[Puar]

Man, I love that GBA game. If it ever got an update with ALL the characters in it, that'd give me a reason to get a DS (or at least that's what I'd assume it'd come out on). If you take a Jolt from Miyata when he's the last character you have to fight in the GBA game, you're pretty much screwed. (;

Nice colored sig of Miyata X2q! The colors are wrong, but it's very well done. Did you do that yourself?

Oh and regarding re-watching/downloading the Anime, isn't it all on YouTube by now?

[Segan]

But now even Ippo can use Jolt. Even if Miyata is going to fight him one day, he won't be the only one who can pull off full-body-weight punches...

[SaiST]

Miyata uses the Jolt as a right-cross counter. Ippo has always used full-body-weight punches, pre-Dempsey Seal. As Kamogawa said during the fight with Scratch J, punching in that manner is closer to his true fighting style.

[Kisame]

But now even Ippo can use Jolt. Even if Miyata is going to fight him one day, he won't be the only one who can pull off full-body-weight punches...

Theres a difference. Miyata is going full force into someone elses momentum.
Does alot more damage.

[SaiST]

Theres a difference. Miyata is going full force into someone elses momentum.
Does alot more damage.
And Ippo has a lot more punching power to begin with, so it kinda evens out.

[Shroomsday]

Conversely though the Jolt wouldn't work against Miyata unless the user was as high a level in counters as he is. Imagine the damage if someone Jolt countered a Jolt counter.

[Segan]

Conversely though the Jolt wouldn't work against Miyata unless the user was as high a level in counters as he is. Imagine the damage if someone Jolt countered a Jolt counter.

That's what I was speaking about. Ippo isn't as fast and agile as Miyata, but his speed is still acceptable, and he has got good insight in fighting against outboxers. Theoretically Ippo could counter the Jolt counter with his own Jolt.

But Ippo probably could only use Jolt against opponents with speed similar to his...

[tictactoc]

Damn, this guy ashamed all the blacks in the world :(

[Kisame]

BRYAN HAWK got plotcked-out.

He won that fight. Several times <.<

[jkingler]

All the assholes in all the manga ever couldn't do that to black people in Ippo. Jason Ozuma is the nicest person ever. He could be averaged with Satan, if he were black, and black folks would still be pretty nice, overall. :amuse

[Molekage]

i finally caught up! what a great manga! thanks to all you hni pimpers out there

744. lamest. fight. ever.

funny but lame :nod

[Moridin]

congrats molekage ^___^

glad you enjoyed it as well XD spread the word!

[Molekage]

yeah, i'm going to make an ippo theme next methinks :nod

i recommended it in the OP section a couple times. PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW ABOUT IPPO :yell

[Kisame]

wtf is ippo? The manga is Called Miyata's Pwnage.

[jkingler]

The manga is actually called Saved By The Bell (but the pilot was called Good Morning, Mr. Kamogawa :P).

[tictactoc]

I hope Randy will wtfpwn Miyata in the beginning. Because, yeah it's cool to see a fight where he counters like he could predict his opponent's attack, but it's cooler to see a berserk Miyata hitting the shit out of someone, until his fists break

[Segan]

I was kind of sad after I realized that Miyata's anger just led to dropping the match with Ippo...

I mean, I really wonder how well he will be able to handle with outboxers at the level of Miyata or Itagaki. But it doesn't seem that there's such a boxer type in the OPBF region...

[Vegeta]

You guys think we could populate a Hajime no Ippo sub-forum here in the Library Level 2?

[Segan]

That would be great! But please without a battledome...

[Vegeta]

Lol, the section most likely would be filled with that kind of thing though. And it will sit just under the Comics one here in this section.

[Segan]

Lol, the section most likely would be filled with that kind of thing though. And it will sit just under the Comics one here in this section.
Well, that's probably right...

Anyway, do we have a list who fought who through the manga?

[Moridin]

fight list: http://www.dynamiteglove.com/fights.shtml

[Tehol Beddict]

I don't know if we could populate or not, but I'd probably hang around and post, which is more than I can say for any of the other manga sections on this forum.

It'd probably be prone to a little extra interest from outsiders in its own section, which would be nice.

And it couldn't possibly get less love than the poor comic section does =/



That fight was exactly what I expected from Takamura :laugh

Was he doing a reverse Bryan Hawk dodge style there for a second? When he was using the successive left upper and the opponent went to hit him and he leaned back to avoid, but he was angled so that he was actually leaning toward the opponent. Then we saw him rotate his waste and swing up to connect with the right straight from above, which is also very reminiscent of a reverse-Bryan Hawk, if I recall.

If it was intentional, he could be evolving a fucking wicked style. Or he could just be being an ass, like he tends to do xD

[BlitzRonin]

It just shows that he is beyond special moves, as all of his punches are special moves.

He's the perfect boxer.

[Segan]

Maybe, but I really would like to see Takamura lose just once...sometimes his attitude just pisses me off.

[jkingler]

Takamura can't lose until the time is right. It will temporarily crush the gym, and at this stage, Takamura losing on the world stage would seriously mess with Ippo's head. He isn't sure he is good enough for the world, so if Taka loses, it would seriously dishearten him and, as I've said, seriously lower the gym's morale. ;_;

[Vegeta]

Maybe thats a good thing.

[Kisame]

BRYAN HAWK SHOULD HAVE WONNNNNNNH

He doesnt have to lose in a pro match. It can be a loss against Itagaki or Aoki.

Just something so that he finally loses.

[Vegeta]

Too Ippo would be more appropriate than to Aoki and Itagaki.

[Molekage]

Maybe, but I really would like to see Takamura lose just once...sometimes his attitude just pisses me off.
i agree. i kinda wanted eagle to beat him, because eagle was such a good guy

[jkingler]

Hah, I know that Taka losing will be a huge moment. So I want Morikawa to use it at the best possible time, to maximize the impact and make the most of it. If he thinks that time is now, then so be it. I just don't want something that important to the current and future story to be wasted.

[Kisame]

agree. i kinda wanted eagle to beat him, because eagle was such a good guy

he reminded me of ippo with his love for a fair fight.

Dam Takamura, aiming for someones weakspot.

:mad

[Molekage]

perhaps if he loses the same day ippo takes the worlds? that would be interesting... but i guess somewhat predictable

[Segan]

I wonder how the ranking system in boxing works? I can't really believe that Ippo would get ranked first in the world (WBC of course) by defeating the national champs of OPBF...

[Molekage]

its probably a panel of analysts or something like that, coupled with match records.

Quite funny that all the suspense and worry i felt after 743 wondering if Takamura might be in for some kind of serious upset now feels so unneccesary XD

Ricky....mouse?


-_- that explains the messed up fro -_-

sigh

[tictactoc]

i agree. i kinda wanted eagle to beat him, because eagle was such a good guy
Thing is... He didn't have to be so "kind". I mean, yes it's cool to be fair play, but like Takamura said, a boxer is on a ring to win, not to have a fair fight where you don't take advantage of the injuries of your opponent. Eagle was acting like a pussy during this fight, and he realized this when he began to fight like Takamura. When Takamura was giving his maximum to win, Eagle was giving his maximum "just" to have a good fight. That's not the boxer's way (Naruto FTW XD)

[Kisame]

No the boxer way is not to do anything to win.

-_-

Look at sawamura and mashiba. They definitely dont represent the boxers way.

Ippo and Volg ftw

[Molekage]

i don't know, eagle was definately not weak for being above takamura in terms of honor. but takamura did win fair and square, albiet being very dishonorable while doing so.

thanks for the scanlation puar :)

[Tehol Beddict]

I liked takamura's take on the eagle fight actually. He had a right to be pissed that eagle thought he could win against him without taking every legal advantage available to him. Fuck that, takamura's way too volatile to stand still while someone insults his pride by taking it easy on him.

Mashiba vs. Sawamura isn't a good example because they weren't using acceptable and legal tactics.

Not that I'm all against the ippo view on wanting to see who the better boxer is, but takamura's right, if you have a chance at all to put someone like him down, you had better well fucking do so, else he'll bury you. He proved as much.

I said "giving his maximum" not "heabutting his opponent to win" :)
Eagle was not "in" the match, fighting without taking advantage of Takamura's blind spot, was not fair, was stupid :/.
They're not samurai, they're boxer, so if they succeed, I don't see why they shouldn't take advantage of that

[jkingler]

For the win.
Indeed. When brevity is needed, I sum ItO up. When a fuller explanation is called for, I leave it to his manic and awesome posting habits to take care of that need. It's a beautiful system, really, since we usually agree and there aren't as many posts this way (aside from this case...and a lot of others).

[Molekage]

n00b question! :nuts

when does ippo generally come out?

[BlitzRonin]

The RAW comes out normally between Friday Night @ Midnight and Saturday morning around Noon...

So yeah in those 12 hours usually.

Shonen Magazine doesn't actually hit the newstands in Japan until the following Wednesday, so we get it early because of subscriptions and whatnot.

[Puar]

And on the Scanslation side, Onimaru and I usually get it LAAAAATE Saturday Night/Early Sunday Morning and, since we both work on Sundays, we usually wrap that bad boy up LAAAAATE Sunday Night/Early Monday Morning... I think.

I liked takamura's take on the eagle fight actually. He had a right to be pissed that eagle thought he could win against him without taking every legal advantage available to him. Fuck that, takamura's way too volatile to stand still while someone insults his pride by taking it easy on him.

And contradictingly enough, when Take fights against Ippo, Takamura praises the Old Man for being a Real Mana nd not going for the cut that opens above Ippo's eye, if I recall correctly. Screwing Takamura and his Double Standards. (;

[Shroomsday]

True to an extent, but Date was going to do a sneaky foul move to open the cut, whereas Takamura was talking about Eagle avoiding punching him in the face (let alone his eye). It's not as if Date then went all for body blows.

But Takamura in the ring and outside the ring can be very different much like any boxers it seems =D

I hope that's the last World Title Defense that we see ever as such a joke. It sort of cheapens the title when he KO's with a punch he didn't even mean to throw (even if the opponent walked into it as a counter).

[Segan]

Hell, it's not like it's impossible for Morikawa to screw up the character's view just a little bit....

Such contradictions happen a lot in long-running series...

[Tehol Beddict]

And contradictingly enough, when Take fights against Ippo, Takamura praises the Old Man for being a Real Mana nd not going for the cut that opens above Ippo's eye, if I recall correctly. Screwing Takamura and his Double Standards. (;
That'd make sense if Ippo was the same sort of animal as Takamura. You put a wild beast down as soon as you see an opening, and eagle should have realized that, which was why takamura got pissed in the first place. Ippo's not a crazed monster though, he's just a willful lad with great training. Winning by a blood call against Ippo means you're smart, and it also means that you weren't willing to fight him. Choosing not to go for it against Takamura means you severely underestimate the danger you're in just by standing in the ring with him.

Takamura will rip your heart out if you give him a chance, Ippo's like as not just going to win by standing there longer than you can.

[Segan]

Is there a video or a clip online that shows a Dempsey Roll in motion? Since Ippo's Dempsey Roll does really exist, I would like to know what it looks like...

I think that we might get to see some of that play out since

It looks like Nekota is coming to Tokyo...and if he sees Kumi hanging around Itagaki and Ippo training...there are sure to be some comparisons made to his youth with Kamogawa and Yuki..

I can see Nekota coaching Itagaki into trying to get Kumi, with Kamogawa giving Ippo his own advice in a off hand kind of way.

[Kisame]

so the raw is just getting out?

Wow we need some better raw people.

[BlitzRonin]

Yeah I'm not sure what is up with this weeks release. Maybe the person who usually scanned it was on vacation or something.

It took forever...but at least now we got a really good HQ one...

Also, if things are back to normal, we'll have the RAW for 746 this Saturday...

Thanks for the raw BR.

I doubt Nekota would be that much of a dick to Ippo as to push forward a rival for Kumi. I'm sure Itagaki could manage that himself if he decided to, he's not bad with women. But there are quite a few themes of history repeating itself (albeilt with different conclusions).

It would be interesting if Nekota came down to give Itagaki some training, but I'm not sure Shinoda would be too happy about it. Have to see what the translation reveals.

The thing is, Kumi seems to be oblivious to Itagaki's feelings and only has Ippo on the mind like Ippo had Miyata on the mind. But then again, he if tried to make a pass, she might just give up on Ippo for having waited so long and choose Itagaki instead. There was also that feeling I got that they wouldn't end up together where she told Ippo that she'd never like boxing.

Shinoda holds his own though. I'm glad he stayed.

[Shroomsday]

I've always had the inkling that Itagaki would force the relationship along with Kumi and Ippo, along with his prospective shot at the Ippo in the boxing world (I know it's a case of history repeating itself, but as I said earlier that's not unusual in the series).

I just don't believe that Nekota would try and help Itagaki get Ippo's girl.

[BlitzRonin]

Yeah he isn't coming to Tokyo... he just sent those flowers.

[Moridin]

hmm, interesting with the suspense being left over aoki and kimura's ranks this chapter. With them wondering why they'd not gone up and then finding out they'll be shown next month.

Possible chance of them having jumped a chunk there?

[jkingler]

1-15 of the Ippo anime are currently ULed. And 49-76 are ULed, too. We're just closing the gap. :kukuku

[BlitzRonin]

WOW!

True but talk about a short chapter. Ten pages including two 'non pages' of Miyata.

I'm a bit surprised he's fighting some nobody first.
