I'm tired of you guys saying bullshit about how Ippo is using oxygen. Ippo never breathes right when a fight begins, he only uses oxygen in the last round. He has been fighting like that for all of the series. Hell, that was the whole point of the Shimabukuro fight, he realized Ippo would breathe when he had enough of recollecting the coach advice in his head and he tried hard to stop him from breathing so he could not win.

Then, we'll get a scene of Miyata talking to himself like a fucking idiot as always about how AHA SO IPPO HASN'T REAAAAALLY PERFECTED THE NEW DEMPSEY YET
Then, Ippo will Dempsey again, and win
But not before we get one last look at poor Antonio Guevara's family and friends

This entire process will take four more chapters, total; meaning that the fight will end on 1186. I'll bet anything on it.

Dawg you get to nut in a throat for free if this fight goes as you predicted. Take the bet.

You naive souls, thinking it will be different this time. I get that it's a comeback fight and it 'should' be easier than the regular opponents but the formula is that Ippo can look strong at the beginning of the match but then it devolves into him being completely destroyed, because the opponent needs to be able to show off their gimmick in full before the inevitable bullshit turnaround KO. Like, do you not get it? Ippo doesn't get to leave the ring looking healthier than his opponent.

>>157606929

This is pretty much Ippo's third comeback fight, first was after Date and third after Sawamura even though Ippo won that one. Both showed that Ippo can't be dealt with similarly than before them. This is no different, Ippo will trash the filipino

>>157607056
Ponchai and Karasawa fights are both over a decade old, this isn't the same Morikawa writing.

>>157604119

I'M IN TEARS

>>157606929
True enough, but there was one exception. Remember the match after the loss to Date, when Ippo struggled for a round with a foreigner, invented the Dempsey Roll in round 2 and assplowed the poor bastard into the canvas?

There's no established formula for Ippo's comeback fights because this is only the second one.

>>157607116
>Ippo has been giving Kumi blue ovaries for like 30 years

>>157607116

At least the guys who have given Ippo trouble have had some build up before the match, but Guevara had almost none. Seems like some gimmick jobber to Miyata.

Of course if Morikawa intends to drag this shit for another 1000 chapters Ippo will have trouble, but an easy victory here should send the manga towards it's end

>Is it actually an enjoyable read for anything else than oxygen muscles and interdimensional dempsey rolls?
No. Don't bother reading it. Watch it, if you're really interested enough - and I haven't even seen the anime.
Takamura has a few fights in the series; they are generally the only saving grace.

There is one character who you will never see mentioned in memes or anything, because he ruins everything: Itagaki. He's a major character who is so bad that I almost dropped the manga like 600 chapters in. He joins the cast and starts stealing massive focus out of nowhere and ruins the series by not even completing his own character archetype (Gary Stu). He's considered a genius by EVERYBODY, always wins, is the faztest boxer in the universe and also is the god of time, and only loses once the author realizes that the manga is not about Itagaki.

>>157609489

It is good, quite down to earth for a shounen and actually really funny at times. Great set of characters. Marathoning it is the easy mode and even the later fights can be enjoyable that way, but reading those 30 chapter fights week by week is a pain.

The early art style can look weird though, but it gets better

>Ippo literally ignites on fire as he moves because his speed and oxygen levels ignite the oxygen covering his body
>this new form literally burns his foes alive as he hits them but because it's a naturally formed ability, it's allowed

>>157609453

At the point Baki/Yujiro are now, I don't even know if Ken could win without dying.

Baki and Yujiro would automatically understand Musou Tensei by seeing it once and they are far faster and stronger than any character in HnK.

Ken could get the kill but he's probably no stronger than Kaku Kaioh is in relation to how Baki works.

>>157609910
I wonder if Kaku can absorb an HnK kill blow and reverse it, like he does normal shit.

So will the next development about Ippo trying to deal with the fact that he ruined a persons career and life?

>>157609977

There's no physical power required for Hokuto Shinken. It's all ki related.

Ken's still astronomically strong but he's nowhere near Yujiro. He's probably closer to Oliva in physical power but as we saw with Baki and Yujiro, power means little to nothing.

>>157609910
Ken fights to kill
Baki and Yujiro fight with dumb martial arts honor
It would be the same as it is with Musashi

>>157610105
>Baki and Yujiro fight with dumb martial arts honor
Only if they're not being taken seriously. If someone tries to fight them for real, they'll fight for real.

>>157610105

Ken doesn't fight to kill. He's all about vengeance.

He'd definitely not kill Baki because Baki isn't about harming people. He's definitely try and kill Oliva and Yujiro though.

>>157607994
>>157608121
Yea definitely read to at least this match, it's fantastic. I feel like it's mostly Ippo's matches that are kind of mediocre or just bullshit in general like with the monkey boy, up until he faces number2 in the world and loses. I'd stay stick with it desu

>>157609382
Read it. I was in your position and binged all those fucking volumes and I had a great time, definitely lost myself in reading it. As>>157609571 and >>157609413 point out, when you've caught up to the current chapters and it's coming out slowly, it drags on.

Ippo will raise his arms and ask the spectators to lend him their oxygen.

>>157613583

The guy he fought after his first comeback who got fucking dominated.

Otherwise Ippo only gets by because his initial comeback is explosive as fuck and he then spends the next year being slowly ground down to nothing.

Still don't understand why he's rank 8th when he's consistently fucking destroyed.

I don't think he could reliably beat Sendo or Varg at this point and he sure as hell isn't Ricardo level.

Well Vorg is a world champ and was always above Ippo so no chance there. Sendo is ahead of him since his last fight, but if Ippo ends this early they might be about equal.

Ippo just ends up against gimmicky fighters and is too stupid to handle them. After this it might be that the gimmicks dont matter anymore, he can just overpower them quickly.

>>157614162

I see Takamura winning once or twice before his loss and/or retirement, assuming the manga will end before Morikawa's death and Takamura really is based on that japanese guy who dominated two weight classes and was forced to retire due to eye injury. The foreshadowing has been there forever

I think the guy will collapse again at the next punch to the face.

>>157606209
The 4rth or 5th world ranker would be great, but one of those might be Miyata right now so...

>>157585041
Will Ippo ever transcend into using ozone as his energy source?

Where can I see the raws? Senmanga is years behind.

>>157610085
Yes, and then he will become a true monster and cross that fucking Takamura line.

>>157619616
>I'm already a monster

>>157610085
I doubt it. We've had opponents with sob backstories before and Ippo never gave a shit after the match.

>>157619895
did he knew them tho?

>>157619994
Does he know this guy's?

And off the top of my head, he knew Volg's.

>>157619895

He has really never broken anyone though, like Sendo did to Shigeta or something. If he goes for the kill only victory in his mind and pummels the poor filipino until referee separates them, that would be some developement and pretty much what Takamura and the others are waiting to see.

>>157620097

Didn't he break that guy that he took out in one punch?

>>157620088

Ippo did give a shit about Vorg's, as soon as he learned about it. It was brought up in his world title match too.

>>157620163
huh no? That was a harcdcore fan tha was willing to get punched that hard to show everyone the true strength of Ippo.

So is it fair to say it's far from over since Ippo hasn't shown of his new Dempsey Roll. Another chapter or 2 would be great but I can see this being a long fight just to give him an excuse to bust it out

>>157620195
I dropped this manga halfway through but this sounds like something too retarded to even be in this.

>>157620247
If he uses it just because the punching bag doesn't wanna go down rather than because he's a dangerous opponent, that will be pretty retarded.

>>157620247

I don't think he'll even get a chance to show it, he will steamroll this poor sucker before he even thinks of going for the kill.

>>157620195

The hardcore fan was a severe case of a same face syndrome, not the first one either in this manga. The guy who was ohkod by Ippo was broken anyway, Ippo was the last nail in the coffin and he didn't feel good about that either

>>157607788
Wrong weight class. That's Aoki's fight. Kimura's one weight class down.

>>157613699
It's really hard to drop a boxer in the rankings when every victory is a KO and he loses so very rarely.

Also, Vorg moved up a weight class and Sendo already has beaten him- in an impromptu unsupervised spar well before the World went and coldcocked Ippo upside the skull.

>>157614431
The funny thing is the foreshadowing is ever so much worse now, given how they're not even treating his next opponent like a joke character. He's just... there. If there was ever a time for a freak career-ending injury... it would be now.

>>157614791
He still is. But the moment has changed. Now Ippo's stepping into a world that mentally he's not built for. Shit, Takamura's known the guy for almost nine years now- he'd know how Ippo's mind works.

Holy shit I didn't even know this series was still going

It's been so long that I can't even remember where I was. Should I start over? Did the early stuff age badly?

>>157620545
it's fun to marathon.

I dunno, i don't think Takamura will suffer a serious injury right now.
