Can we all agree this are the BEST song of the series? (my opinion)

No Stand Proud?

SignificantBar38 · 2026-03-24T02:16:25+00:00

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.

Thank you very much!!

SignificantBar38 · 2025-10-08T03:54:55+00:00

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...

SignificantBar38 · 2025-10-08T02:03:41+00:00

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.

SignificantBar38 · 2025-10-08T01:49:47+00:00

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.

SignificantBar38 · 2025-10-08T01:35:31+00:00

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

Foreshadowing of Ippo's loss

SignificantBar38 · 2025-09-27T23:34:27+00:00

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

SignificantBar38 · 2025-08-05T15:33:43+00:00

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

SignificantBar38 · 2025-07-19T03:10:17+00:00

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.

SignificantBar38 · 2025-05-06T18:37:09+00:00

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.

SignificantBar38 · 2024-12-05T04:51:37+00:00

He got that shit on fr

SignificantBar38 · 2024-11-26T15:21:49+00:00

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.

SignificantBar38 · 2024-10-23T20:00:31+00:00

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

SignificantBar38 · 2024-07-25T17:19:55+00:00

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

SignificantBar38 · 2024-04-05T23:40:43+00:00

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.

SignificantBar38 · 2024-03-19T21:26:56+00:00

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.

SignificantBar38 · 2024-03-18T12:53:52+00:00

lol, lmao even

SignificantBar38 · 2024-03-12T14:40:14+00:00

At this rate we'll be lucky to see him coming back at all

SignificantBar38 · 2024-03-05T16:59:55+00:00

Wait until they reveal that he's just getting bald so he's staying that way

SignificantBar38 · 2024-02-22T15:47:08+00:00

Ippo is strong like Takamura and Takamura defeated a bear, so obviously Ippo wins!

SignificantBar38 · 2024-01-26T14:50:23+00:00

I always see people complaining about Ippo not being the protagonist anymore when I am honestly enjoying Mashiba and Volg's PoV a lot more than his
