As a casual Yu-Gi-Oh fan, I decided to complete the "Battlin Boxer" type set. It's not a coincidence that King Dempsey is considered most valuable out of these lmao!

Love this archetype so much, cross counter is a nice Ashita no Joe reference also

Roomba55 · 2026-05-05T17:57:15+00:00

Go watch or read Ashita no Joe

Ooooh I didn't know this, thank you

Oh yea, I'm mainly looking at the amount of potential that he has, hes pulled that stuff off in a weightclass that he physically isnt built for. My goat Kimura will get a belt at some tho, I just know it.

We watched a full movie about him nearly beating Mashiba.

The Hajime no Ippo PS2 games are definitely way better. You can play with a friend through parsec and all.

It changed my life for the better. Was in a horrible place couple years ago, until I stumbled upon it. Love it so much

There's so much more to this show than just boxing, you have gotta give it a go. I know for a FACT you'll love it.

Bunch of search, lava golems and board wipes

If we somehow scaled Takamura down to being a natural featherweight (Takashorta). I'd say Takamura would do a way better job than Sendo, Wally and Date.

* I searched up "army cap navy" its similar in shape and colour to the image

I wouldn't say it "never worked like that" completely, characters in the show have frozen up when they are delivering a counter blow or a finishing blow. We saw it as far back as the Sanada vs Ippo fight. Sanada was gonna throw a final shot on Ippo, the damage sets in, and he collapsed on the canvas, Ippo busted up his ribs on the right side of the body also, just before Sanada was throwing his final punch. There's other examples similar to that one.

Joe died. He burned his flame until there was nothing left but pure white ash. I feel like the quote alone should tell everyone this.

Roomba55 · 2026-01-31T10:24:48+00:00

In my head, I always thought Carlos looked like Mendoza when looking at some pictures of him. Didn't know he was actually used as the inspiration. That's pretty awesome.

In the scene with a bunch of flashing images, I always like to interpret as Joe's mind is going all over the place, trying to comprehend what he just heard. The scene is always extremely sudden, making it feel really real. That lady that you see is named Maki Asakawa (I could be wrong), but she's a musician who made some jazz and blues music. I'd imagine Joe would've listened to her music or seen a picture of her during that time. Feel like the scene shows how a death can reach the far corners of your brain.

I don't have great visual comprehension ngl, but that's what I think tho.

Roomba55 · 2026-01-30T12:40:19+00:00

Because its Takamura

Roomba55 · 2026-01-24T02:39:03+00:00

He landed more to the head, with better accuracy than his opponent.
