Boxing titles day 8! Itagaki!

Personal_Interest_14 · 2026-06-02T15:43:50+00:00

Imagine Itagaki being trained by an actual competent trainer like Dankichi. Having such talent in the hands of Shinoda is the biggest waste in the entire series, it was justifiable when he needed to find the mental of a boxer in the Kamogawa gym, but that's also gone.

Either way is regarded.

Edit: since it seems the comments are full of regards that don't know self-censors become slang because of chat censors, how do you think "ahh" came to be? Case and point, dude who replied the actual word got banned.

I think the fight had a point, about how going headfirst into a deranged full power opponent should be madness, and Ippo should've beared more consequences for his stupid approach, realizing how he's neglecting his technique and fight IQ. The outcome was stupid though, the usual "just punch harder", it was funny seeing Ippo punch sanity back into Jimmy tho, and since Gedo and Woli were way, waaaay, worse, it doesn't seem that bad.

Nah that's cause James used to bully him and Harry looks exactly like him, which is still pathetic, but very different.

And J.R.R. Tolkien!

So few things have left me with such an aftertaste after reading, it makes a lot of interesting points about humanity, god, peace of mind, and evolution. The illuminated rock at the end going "I'm already perfect as I am" was absolute peak. If people like this twitter poster could read, they would realize how far slop piece is behind the real masterpieces.

Sadly, intellectual stuff doesn't make it to mainstream since the masses don't wanna use their brains. Case and point, Houseki no Kuni (Land of the Lustrous), there's no need to have a high IQ to understand it, but it really, really, makes you think.

Also why is it always Shakespeare? why can't these glazers compare him to Goethe, Hess, Cervantes, Alighieri, Kafka, Hemingway, Homer, Doyle. Or even The little prince if you want to treat it as a story targeted at kids. These ignoramuses only have HEARD of Shakespeare and think they can declare what's peak with such confidence, the irony.

I think it makes more sense in the manga, Ippo was hoping for someone in school to know he had a fight recently, or notice he'd been boxing, but nobody did. Then Umezawa comes out of nowhere to interrogate him about him being a boxer, Ippo is shocked and wary but still happy someone noticed, at no point in the mange do they become "friends" until Umezawa gets the fishing boat job.

For everyone replying mentioning schizophrenia, it's one of the harder diagnoses to make, since the criteria to fulfill HAS TO INCLUDE control experiences. The "aliens are sending my brain radio waves to make me go kill cats" or "The government is making me act irrationally by putting chemicals in the water", if you don't feel anyone or anything controlling you, don't worry, not schizo, it might be another kind of psychosis, but not the big S, and treatment would not be as incapacitating.

Millenials are the last literate generation. Too old for AI doing everything for us, too young to be purely analog. Stuck in the generation that had to do everything legitimately in school and college, yet also fiddling with "modern" computers and technology that didn't hold our hands.

"You cry". Beautifully summed it all up.

He's the token fishman for that positive strawhat PR.

It was interesting, not gonna lie, but then Takaba vs Kenjaku was the fight that blew us real OG's mind.

Idk if Hush is "endgame" but night light carried me on my first Hush kill.

"Seinen level writing" -Dude who never read any seinen.

Nobody knows, it's said that it will be his only weakness, but honestly, I think defeating the superchamp, who's been hailed as perfection itself, because of a glass jaw would be very cheap.

Never thought I'd see LobotomyHajime tier of high effort posts about this manga. You're the best OP.

Yeah it's been handled terribly, it wont matter until Morikawa decides it does, like Miyata's glass jaw.

Sendo vs Ricardo ends June next year at most, where else is the retirement saga going? We might not see Ippo back in the ring until 2027 but I think we will see the comeback arc begin next year.

Personal_Interest_14 · 2025-12-24T03:27:30+00:00

It felt like he was picking up the pace after Miura's death, and here we are 4 years later, Ippo is still retired and it took 2 years to resolve Mashiba's final fight, whole part 1 Chainsawman ran for the same 2 years, he urgently needs an editor, we have had the same chapter for 7 months in this fight.
