| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Excellent stuff. I think this is the first episode of the new season I really clicked with. Aside from the inexplicable wind around the jolt (at least it looked cool). And what comes next but (apparently a HUGEASS SPOILER OF DOOMZ) |

| Fuck Yeah Jolt Counter. Big Improvement on action in this episode. Also this may be my personal opinion but I love the OP song, so fuck you cynics! |

| Could people just use spoiler tags? It's not that hard =.= Anyway, the punch was exaggerated. We didn't need all that wind. Other than that and the fact that the OST still sucks (excluding op), the episode was nice. |

Seriously wtf, there is a reason why "THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE" this is here....... and yes, the episode was full of win, or should I say ippo-tastic like Ruiner said. And the music is not close to the first season at all, but I guess I have to get used to it. |
| Oh wow, incredible punch was incredible. Did not expect that at all. Music doesn't bother me, but I'm thinking I liked Imahori's style better. |
| awesome episode. the action was breath-taking! |
 |
| I wonder if it's just me, but everytime I hear that one background music I can't help but think of Pirates of the Caribbean lol |
| I could only think of one thing during the epiosode MIYATA YOU BETTER WIN, MAKE THAT PINCH THROUGH GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO...... I was a nice episode though |
| Never say you love,If you dont really care Never talk about feelings,That aren't even there Never hold my hand,If your gonna break my heart Never say your going too,If you dont plan to start Never look into my eyes,If all you'll tell are lie Never say,If you really meant good bye If you really meant forever then say you'll try Never say forever because forever makes me cry |

Theres a reason this is called and ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION QFF The trailer for episode 4 (which was included in this episode) featured both Date and Martinez. Just making a simple comment about the episode preview. I did not say anything about how, say If the names of two characters which have already been introduced bother people that much, though, I can cover them up. I thought the fact that both characters were in the preview was sufficent grounds to mention them. |

| ^ Indeed. The only thing that has been spoiled in this thread are the fight match-ups - At least one of which we already knew was going to happen from the first season: |
| Wow Great fight.Miyata counter was just awesome. |
 |
| Not a bad episode, but I definitely want to see this fight, impressive as it was, finished so we can move on. |
| I reject your reality, and substitute my own. |
| God this anime gets better every episode. I hope that Miyata ends up beating him. What I think is going to happen is Not really a spoiler but w/e. |
| I'm back. |
| this ep rocked woooooooooo miyata jolt counter is badass cant wait for the next fight martinez vs date. |

| Miyata sure came a long way, glad to see him push through. |
 |
| when i was watching, i thought ippo will scream something at him and then miyata will be motivated by him. >.> haha |
Arcanus said: Anyway, the punch was exaggerated. We didn't need all that wind. Wind wasn't all that bad, but they made it seem like time stopped and both seconds had time to think when the champ tried to block it. Yeah it was a bit over exaggerated. Gotta have a climatic finish I guess. |
 |
| Looooved it, as expected (at least from me) New Challenger is becoming the best (if it already isn't) anime of this season. Can't wait for epic fight, epicness shall be taken to a heavenly level !!! |
| I didn't find that fight that great. They are already going down on the animation, even compared to the first season. Direction is not so great too, and most music pieces feel out of place. I still don't see how Miyata could win (I mean he just landed one good shot to the invincible champion, and received like 30 hard punches that could take anyone down, something doesn't feel right to me). |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| I was kinda bored, progressed in the HnI fashion. But what I'm tired of is Miyata getting the shit-end of the stick because it's Ippo's show. I just want him to change his weight class so he can be a better fighter, but unfortunately, that's never going to happen. |
| Too good. The music,the punches(esp. the last punch) everything's in place. Iam completely in love with the show. It’s so exhilarating it leaves me breathless. Damn, that last punch was something else. xD |
| Good stuff, Miyata showing incredible will power to honor a promise he made. Classic brilliance. |
| holy shit |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| yes! Miyata is one of my most favourite character. Genius with godly spirit. |
 |
| So they don't know it consciously that they're both admiring and idolizing each other eh? Hahaha!~ LOL! |
     |
| that last blow was very unrealistic, it would have been more believable if he'd stepped in with right upper or something. with that elbow in the way he wouldn't have been able to get that kind of power behind the blow. that said, I love the way it looks when he bitch slaps someone into the mat. |
| so Miyata answered the challenge with guts alone, pretty crazy turn of events but awesome nevertheless. |
| I thought the fight was going to finish in this episode but oh well another crazy cliffhanger! Can't complain though, loving every moment of this new series. |
| that shit was just mad. that was one hell of a knock out punch. DRAGON BALL ZZZZZ |
| i created a club that is building up a emotional "feels" anime collections so if anyone wants to join it and get emotional together please come and join us <3 http://myanimelist.net/clubs.php?cid=18987 Click for link^ |
| About 20 minutes into this episode... "Kimi no punch wa mo shindeiru!" Made me giggle. |
| I don't know karate, but I know karazy |
That Jolt looked fantastic! Miyata's dad was spot on, that was no lucky punch. And so the shorty Don King wannabe gets the boot? HA! Now, will the Aussie stay down from that one full-on counter? |
 |
| Woah! Was that the Jolt Counter? haha well not as flashy moves like Ippo nonetheless it looks like his opponent won't be standing up! haha |
   |
| JOLLTTTT COUNTEERRRR. |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
| Miyata really pulled through with that Jolt counter, I hope that Arnie doesn't get up from that. Also, his manager was annoying as hell, I'm glad that Arnie told him off. But judging by that preview, I see that Eiji's coming back. |
 |
| Dem living eyes. Wow. |
 |
| Gotta love the Hajime no Ippo comeback inner thoughts. Every time. |
| Hoho that ending! Impressive as hell! Really great episode in general but damn that ending was just amazing as hell! Let's see what's going to happen next! |
 |
| Great episode, ending on a cliffhanger. Was he not throwing his weight into the counter the first 2 times? That's what changed. |
 |
| Great fight. I'm guessing Arnie will get back up again, since it seems weird to leave him getting knocked down as a cliffhanger. Fight will definitely be over next ep though. I agree that the new OST is pretty jarring. The original OST was so unique and memorable, this stock adventure music doesn't match up well at all. Still just a minor nitpick though |
