Man hajime no ippo took a strange turn
Man hajime no ippo took a strange turn
not wrong
/pol/ is always right.
At this point Takamura is a repudiation of everything Ippo and Coach did wrong.
Takamura is just always the boy genius who didn't need the coach, which makes his obsession with the coach less harmful than ippo's because he's using his own boxing while only trying to thank the coach for introducing him to this lifestyle.
Ippo on the other hand is just way too lost in the sauce.
Jesus christ Japan
Did Raimi decide to guest write some manga after he got shunned out of the movie industry?
Damn beat me to it. Damn jews. This is why jews fear the samurai.
No shit Ippo did you forget your hard hitting lefts? Your liver blows? Fucking Dempsey Roll bullshit anime powerup clouded your mind and Kumi sure as hell made it worse.
>Yes kid, thats what you lacked, reading your opponent
>An ability so basic that even afficionados than dont practice the sport can sometimes do when watching a match
>Now you are world class
that and the ability to use MULTIPLE PUNCHES to THROW OFF YOUR OPPONENT
This takamura guy truly is a next level boxing athlete, Ippo has a lot to learn from him
In Boxing, being left handed is honestly the best advantage you can possibly have outside genetics because most people are right handed.
It fucks up a lot of your plans when you're fighting someone who essentially works in reverse and is mirroring you instead.
In any sport really, because you're mirroring the opponent, it becomes so much harder to compensate for southpaws.
It's come up in Ippo before but I'm not sure why Moirkawa is bringing it back now.
So essentially, Kamogawa Gym is actually crap and lucked out with a genius in Takamura, a lesser genius of endurance in Ippo and a quick guy in Itagaki, the former of which has enough natural talent to offset the gym's funky, outdated training methods and the latter two reached the summit of their squandered talent. Meanwhile regular joes and untalenteds like Aokimura get by with pulling bush league moves out of their asses to hang in the bush leagues while being trained by their bush league reject coach.
I mean Ippo got to like 7th in the world with pretty much only coach's wack ass teachings, so at least he has that.
It's fair to say though that he contributed very little to the general status of his gym and is coasting off of Takaura just obliterating every opponent.
>Be coach
>Star """"student"""" is having a world class match, kind of not doing ok
>Ignore him, pay attention to the kid
>Dont even tell the kid whats wrong, he gotta figure out himself, even if it cost him his life
Aokimura coach is even fucking worse, at least coach is there, that guy isnt fucking present and doesnt give any advice. For fucks sake Aoki fought with his eyes closed for years and when Ippo started to give them ONE LINE ADVICES like, "hit harder" they startes doing better
WE DON'T INTERFERE WITH OUR BOXERS HERE IN THE KAMOGAWA GYM, BOY
WE SILENTLY SIT IN THE CORNER AND HOPE THEY FIGURED IT OUT THEMSELVES
IF HE GETS PUNCHED A BIT TOO MUCH I'LL PRETEND TO CONTEMPLATE THROWING THE TOWEL
Based.
It’s because he wants Ippo to be the best that he did that. Coach won’t be there for him forever, so Ippo needs to learn how to coach himself.
Thats gotta be one of the dumbest things I ever heard.
>shut up kid, your opinions are worthless, just listen to the experts
>this is so you can learn to think for yourself
Ippo is still a retard as always.
>t. coach
Literally the purpose of having seconds is so that they can give their fighters advise. Otherwise why even have them?
How the fuck this manga still running
Did Raimi start writing this?
No the purpose of a second is to just occasionally clutch at the towel when your boxer is getting beaten up, you're never allowed to throw it though.
AHHHHH COACH
I FORGOT I COULD USE MY LEFT HAND
AHHHHHHHHHH COACH
I SHOULD'VE LISTENED TO YOU MORE AND RUSH IN MORE WITH MY HEAD
Fuck Morikawa, what a fucking HACK!
why is this manga still going
Ippo should've died
Why the FUCK is he even a coach if Ippo standing in the corner could figure shit out before him?
A lot of boxers fight southpaw even while being right handed though. In a way it helps them because your power arm is the lead arm too
Seriously, what the fuck happened?
I'm rewatching the anime and it feels like going back in time before a big disaster took place
Ippo got 7th in the world because his weight class is made up almost entirely of twigs and he's short enough that he can build enough muscle to break them in half. He's a Featherweight boxer and everyone is like a head taller than him.
>I will avenge my brain and show them the true power of the Oxyegingan
How can he keep on getting away with this eye bullshit? So Takamura's eye is still not confirmed to be fucked? The Japs are starting to get fed up with this right?
Morikawa has said that he's not even halfway done.
First season should have been it (even if it still had pretty dumb shit). Everything from the Oriental arc is pure garbage, I can't remember anything noteworthy from it except frustration.
>being left handed
>not genetics
>not even halfway done
Jesus, how much can you keep stretching this shit
Ippo has to die on his match with Ricardo Martinez.
I'm glad Yea Forums still realize this manga is fucking dog shit and is hitting the same notes for over a thousand chapters.
Over on pl*bbit, everyone is fucking praising this chapter for Takamura throwing the same looping left hook and getting hit like a retard so he could switch into an uppercut and a liver shot.
>WOW IPPO JUST DO THE SAME THING I DO JUST GET HIT A LOT AND THEN DROP HIM WITH 1 PUNCH
I assume most of the readers quit after the bullshit loss. I mean I was fine with Ippo losing just not him absolutely bodying the guy and that face hit strong enough to lift the guy off his feet not ebding it then and there.
George better live to his 90's doing this then if it'll take another 30+ years to finish the manga. I just have to make sure to live to the end of the manga as well.
Is it wrong for me to be laughing at this without ever reading the manga itself and only watched the anime
If George went full nip/pol/ the manga would only improve.
And Japan finds nothing wrong with Coach from what I hear
Japan is retarded, they just see
>MUH SAMURAI BLOOD
and get tiny raging erections over this self-destructive worship of the master figure even though he's senile and entirely incompetent.
This is the only thing still going in his life and he's literally going to drag it out until he dies.
t-t-thanks coach
I dunno, ask 'Ah My Goddess'
IPPO JUST KEEP ON SWINGING YOUR FISTS
THE RING IS ONLY SO LARGE, YOU'RE BOUND TO CONNECT WITH HIS SKULL EVENTUALLY
DON'T LOSE HEART, DON'T GIVE UP
USE THE ARM HELICOPTER TECHNIQUE I TAUGHT YOU
wtf, looks like that baseball guy
That guy HAS to have brain damage after that.
How self awake IS Morikawa? He has other coaches and boxers think to themselves and talk aloud how Ippo is a retard for following blindly and how outdated Kamogawa's tactics are. But sometimes, they are proven wrong with Ippo taking 100 shots and then winning with just 1.
Are snakes even allowed in the ring?
Only if you're mexican, its one of their racial abilities.
kek.
what's the nigger and amerilard racial skills?
Voodoo and cheeseburgers respectively
Even that wreck ended, so I don't get your meaning.
You're implying sports manga isn't one of the easiest type of manga you can stretch the shit out of.
George already stated that blacks have more innate power and speed. It's the chapter with the shadow negro.
shit like this is what made me drop this heaping pile of crap in the first place. morikawa's a fucking hack.
Has he recovered from his brain damage?
nah he knows himself. He just wants ippo to think about boxing himself instead of being a robot
George is just another racist nip who is scared of these foreigners he has no understanding of because they aren't manlets who all rook same.
How did it end after it turned out the beta japanese MC was being magically rendered impotent by god so he would never fuck the angel chick (and I think she knew the whole time?)
I can't tell. The people who call the coach out seem to imply that he is, and yet Ippo still gets saddled with his bullshit like its legit
From what I remember they "fix" him but never exactly call out Bellandy for her bullshit
Boxing robots are way cooler than boxing humans.
When is Ippo's girlfriend going to beat his coach to death for all the shit he's done to her boyfriend?
You can't recover from that.
Not even if you oxygenate your neurons?
Did Ippo just learn about feints? Why a world ranker still acts as an amateur who never saw a match in his whole life?
I legitimately don't know if Morikawa is a hack or a genius anymore, left punch saga is so surreal
Because the writer is shit.
Thats a given, but we are talking about galaxy sized amounts of shit writing here
>he gotta figure out himself
Whats wrong with japan and teachers?
Its probably some zen crap they are so fond of.
Also know as self improvement scams for retards, which is super fitting for Ippo
kek
quick rundown?
Oxígeno Oscuro: La oscuridad demónica
WTF? Is this the Joe cap?
Yeah must be a reference :)
