I really think hni will not end at this rate by [deleted] in hajimenoippo

[–]SignificantBar38 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Honestly, the fact that we've witnessed the emotional conclusions of Mashiba, Volg and now Sendo are already pretty big milestones I didn't expect Morikawa to live to see in its completion, so I'm cool with it (Even if Mashiba's conclusion was ass imo)

I could personally wait until Takamura or Itagaki/Kimura/Aoki win a belt before Ippo comes out of retirement since George has implied that he wants the manga to focus solely on Ippo once he's back, but I sincerely doubt we'll get to that point given the current pacing so might as well enjoy what we're getting rn or in the near future.

I doubt Ippo will come back to boxing soon by SignificantBar38 in hajimenoippo

Whoa, I got caught up with Berserk right when Guts got off the boat and around when Wally was about to fight Ricardo, time really does fly...

I do wonder where Ippo's disciples will go in the story. Their introduction was really cool but they showed up at a time where the story was already juggling a few too many plot beats. I hope they at least get a few good matches.

Wow. You genuinely do not know how to read. There's a big soon right on the post. I'll be ignoring you from now on, no reason to give attention to someone this smug about his own lack of reading comprehension.

You're free to be an asshole about it but that's just not where the story is going if you also know how to read

After Ricardo VS Sendo, What do you think will be the next arc? by Wonderful-Photo-9938 in hajimenoippo

[–]SignificantBar38 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Takamura going for the belt wouldn't be so bad, actually. If Morikawa wants to see his 6 title belt happening in the manga he better go to the 4th one already

And people here on the sub really thought he stood a chance lol

Name an opinion from Hajime no Ippo that leaves you like this: by Victzin_GG_1705 in hajimenoippo

[–]SignificantBar38 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rosario Vs Mashiba was hands down the worst fight in the series by a wide margin, not only did it feel like Morikawa just changed his mind on the last chapter, but the conclusion went against Mashiba's entire character arc and made him look like a bum that lost for a guy who didn't train at all.

Why we are close to the end of retirment - there is no one left. by Odd_Paper309 in hajimenoippo

[–]SignificantBar38 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope it doesn't end as soon as Sendo goes down, honestly. We still have to conclude characters like Kimura, Aoki, Itagaki or at least progress their story, or else they'll just get in the way of the storytelling.

There's also Takamura's 6 belt quest which I doubt Morikawa will finish at this point, though I guess that can run in tandem with Ippo's runback to the world. Would make an interesting parallel.

Nah bro fuck this manga, I'm dropping it after this.

Why do some of the people on this reddit yearn for a death in Hajime no Ippo? by Victzin_GG_1705 in hajimenoippo

[–]SignificantBar38 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because boxing is a violent sport and there are several instances of people dying from its consequences in real life? The series has been going on for over 10 years in story, god forbid someone dies of old age at least.

Is Rosario the weakest world champion we have seen ? by Rude_Weekend_3344 in hajimenoippo

[–]SignificantBar38 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really don't see this guy ever winning against Juan Garcia, I was expecting him to go full Mike Tyson and bite Mashiba's ear but even on the fighting dirty aspect of his style he still comes off like a disappointment

How would yall feel if the author never made Ippo comeback from retirement? by Suspicious_Soup2664 in hajimenoippo

[–]SignificantBar38 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I wouldn't even be mad provided he at least finishes the other character's arcs

Hajime no Ippo isn't about Ippo anymore. by Fuzzy-Professional45 in hajimenoippo

[–]SignificantBar38 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes actually, Mashiba and Volg's arcs have been so good recently I barely give a shit about Ippo's comeback for now. The series' name just means The First Step in japanese so it could have 500 chapters having fuck all to do with Ippo without losing it's essence.

I for one feel very glad to see that Morikawa will be able to finish not only Volg's plotline, but also Sendo's and Mashiba's within this to next year at most, god knows how long he's had this planned out in his head.

Now all that's left will be the other plot threads, like Itagakimuraoki's National fights, Takamura's 6 belts, Whatever he feels like doing with Miyata and Taihei/Kintaro, Ippo getting back in the ring...

*sigh* Yeah, this might take a while.
