| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Looks like Joe's finally gonna read Danpei's letters and learn how to fight like a boxer. |
 |
| Oh man the ending for this ep was splendid. Finally Joe is taking Danpei's instruction seriously - even if it seems like it's just for revenge at the moment. I've just realised something rather odd, isn't the prison meant to house minors? Why is the majority of it made up of old geezers lol. |
| the official MAL hall of fame/cursed comments is now open for business - you are welcome to PM me any potential quotes to include |
| The writing is very professional, love it. |
| Man the story's really picking up I cant wait to see Joe grow even stronger. |
| Finally! He wants to learn more boxing moves to beat Rikiishi. It was great seeing Danpei that happy. |
 |
| Good episode, but why is Rikiishi at that prison? I thought it was for minors? |
| "Yes, I have been deprived of emotion. But not completely. Whoever did it, botched the job." - Geralt of Rivia |
| Rishiiki was a pro after all and Joe is starting to take boxing seriously. Seems like revenge is one of the best kinds of motivations there is. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| My favorite episode so far, Joe finally has a motivation to start training due to wanting to defeat Rikiishi, seeing Danpei so happy made me smile. |
 |
| YES! Joe is gonna learn about boxing! I love how Joe needs reasons for this, and he does not do it without reason. |
| Yay, finally an uplifting episode! And really loved the jazz bit in this one, very refreshing. |
| kinda liked seeing joe getting beat up for being a total a-hole in the previous episodes. he still might be a jerk but at least he will focus on some boxing stuff |
 |
| I cried again at the ending scene man that opening song was out of nowhere epic episode as always. |
| After Joe being so stubborn and spitting on everyone's kindness for so long, it was really satisfying to see him accept some help, even if it's for selfish reasons. Still a long way to go before he's redeemed though. I'm wondering when this is supposed to take place, as the living conditions don't suggest the time of production. Looks more like early 50s when the country was being rebuilt after the war. We can see skyscrapers in the background, yet all the characters are living in slums, the housing being just wooden shacks with no electricity or running water. There's quite an obvious gap between the rich and the poor |
| The boxing has finally started for real! |
 |
| Joe finally wants to learn boxing |
I'm not a critic or anything like that but I like to give my opinion |
| Can't forget about Rikiishi now Joe, can 'ya? That's love. :P Jk! XD Well. Rikiishi now being my favorite. :3 Joe finally writing back to Danpei and it was about boxing. Rikiishi appearing was really great for his character. Not me thinking Danpei would steal or something to go to Joe in person! XD Of course I'm wrong, right? 6_6 |

| Even though it's not quite for the right reasons, Joe is finally willing to learn to box.

| I feel i will get one of the biggest character development in anime history with this anime. I hope it happens <3 |

| Damn, the punch from Rikiishi really hurt his pride that hard that now Joe gets a flashback to it every five seconds. |
| Joe's finally stepping up his game |
