REAL LIFE
Real life, yeah.
But Hajime no Ippo did it sort of. Ippo's major bully became a bro and supports him. Speaking of, time to rewatch the Date v Ippo fight.

So you all niggas saying Real Life is just one big bara bait? Got it.
Hajime no Ippo
>>159159636
Who is supportive in Hajime no Ippo?
>>159159955
Literally everyone
>>159157970
Ippo's Bully was just a delinquent, not a jock.
>>159160058
Literally everyone except Itagaki takes every opportunity to shit on him especially Takamura, who takes every opportunity to shit on everyone.
lot of Japanese series do that
the asshole jock is mostly an American trope
>>159161027
Except Takamura is one of the most supportive
>>159161403
He is by far the biggest figurative dick in the gym and for a long time now he's mostly just been telling ippo to quit so he doesn't disappoint the old man.
>>159161463
And he's had very good reason too. Takamura is supportive but he's also the most realistic and the most dedicated to boxing. He hates seeing Ippo make a joke out of Boxing every time he gets in the ring with this retarded "See what I can do" attitude
>>159161680
Ippo has never ever been a particularly confident person, that doesn't mean he treats boxing as a joke.
If anything, Takamura is the one constantly making an ass of himself in the ring and pulling through with bullshit and talent.

I'm confused. When people here say Real Life, do they mean ReLIFE? Because I can't find a series called Real Life and surely we can't be talking about actual real life here.
