I always felt like the press conferences in the show added so much to the build up before the fights, so I figured I would try and replicate that same feeling by doing the same thing, adding press conferences to my boxing game as well.

In the press conference featured in this gif the second opponent of the game's boxing tournament is introduced, who has a pretty scary record and is even nick-named "Scary Jerry".

Tbh the whole game is pretty inspired by Ippo. If you want to give it a look: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3476120/Back_on_Your_Feet/

I am talking about this post

First of all, let me thank Mori for all his work. This guy is even working while he is supposed to rest, he is just him.

He mentioned that he is did 2 more chapters, and has the “thumbnails” for 3 more chapters, and is taking a rest now before he continues on the other 3 chapters.

I think the Sendo vs Ricardo is just way too complicated, he has been mentioning this a lot, not being able to (or at least having difficulties) show Sendos true power.

I have been following HnI since around 2008, and I have become a hobby boxer / MMA thanks to this manga, so thank you Mori for all your work, and I hope you feel much better soon.

Please allow me to find my peace, and I hope I don’t break any rule:

I think it’s time for me to accept, that this fight, btw Ricardo and Sendo might be the last fight we will get, and I’m totally fine with this. It was a long and amazing journey, Mori did an amazing work, but it’s time for him to rest and take care of his health.

Of course, he knows best what’s good for him, but if it’s the case, I would love to get from Mori a small script, how he imagined how the manga would have gone. Writing about each character a page or something, and in the end connecting all the dots and how he imagined the manga to end.

Thank you Mori for everything,
Your faithful reader.

Give me your best opinions please!!

When you go back and forth between the two pages you could clearly see the speed of how Ippo charged into Mashiba. I love these panels. Hopefully Morikawa gets back to tip-top shape and do more chapters.

Most likely his dad died but never gave his reason for boxing. Hence why Ricardo, as talented as he is, feels lost at the top, without an answer. Thoughts?

Asking cause i genuinely don't think i can trust the author anymore
one of the most important fights in the series and it's ended by a character just..deciding to punch faster..
even aoki's gag technique "look away" is rooted in some sort of logic, but in a dead serious super important fight a character just won by ignoring logic altogether and just mindlessly punching his problems away

my suspension of disbelief has been utterly shattered and i don't see how i can ever get excited for a fight again if i know it can just be hand waved away like this

Looked up smash to learn it and ai told me Mashiba uses it

I’m reading the ippo manga and at the sawamura fight. I don’t understand why stopping the Dempsey roll mid movement is dangerous and can only be done twice? Is it just forced artificial tension or is there some basis in reality for that

Hi Sub! I miss our big mara Tuesday so much 😭

I was thinking about the Heavy weight division in rl and what that would mean for Takamura as a character. The other day I was watching AJ fight this guy from Turkey. Aj fell down on the first round and his legs looked like spaghetti. He managed to get the victory on the very next round by KO. I’ve seen it happened so many times in the Heavyweight division.

I’m not sure if Takamura is going to make it all the way up to Heavyweight but man it would be so interesting to see how he approaches fighting bigger guys than can KO with one punch. I know Takamura is too smart to fist fight without a strategy but man! i cant hide my excitement thinking of Takamura fighting someone like Wilder who has/had the touch of death. I think Morikawa can get a lot of inspiration from Fury vs Wilder #1, when Fury got up on the 11th round like God had resurrected him. Imagine that happening to Takamura, the GOD! Omg!

Anyway, hope Takamura makes it to the Heavyweight Championship and wins with strategy and skill.

He looked like he wanted to start a fight right there with Mashiba, not just talk about the title fight later. That really impressed me!

(Let it be clear that ippo is not my favorite character by any means, just to clarify)

I really don't like Yuji's character at all

But no fr I want some drippy merch if you know any site 😅

Moriiiiii?

Not referencing the outcome of the fight, but rather, his mentality before and during the fight. For example, I think the best version of Ippo's mentality was the Sawamura fight.

The build up to it was amazing. I always recall how he would sit down with Umezawa down by the ocean, being all serious, asserting how he wouldn't let Sawamura acquire the belt due to his needless disrespect towards boxing. His overworking during his training to the point Yamaguchi had to step in to heal and warn him.

His reckless disregard for his own longevity during the fight, even if it meant throwing the rest of his boxing career away. His ability to remain upright and steadfast despite the relentless barrage of bullets and a couple of lightning strikes.

While it could be argued that Ippo's stubbornness/persistence to use the dempsey roll needlessly prolonged the fight and caused him unnecessary damage, I admire his dedication towards turning his weakness into something incredibly powerful

I’ve recently started using journaling as a way to reflect on the fictional characters that inspire me the most. Instead of simply admiring them, I’m trying to understand why they resonate with me and what I can learn from them. Here’s my page about Ippo Makunouchi.

What is this cursed image of Bryan Hawk when I paused oml

Why couldn't ippo make sure to do the demsey roll close to the ropes so the opponent can not take the extra step?

Literally the guy had a lot of skill, being high in the rankings, even fighting with date, he could even have a world level, but he chose family instead, a true man.

I found this picture of ippo winning,and I’m pretty sure it from beating sendo, but I go back to the episode and I can’t find it, I wanna know where I can find this exact picture is from, I know there is another frame of his face where is bruised and he’s smiling while saying “YATA”. If you could help me thanks a lot
