| Didn't expect I cried in this episode ;( |
 |
| How both Hawk and Takamura were introduced into boxing was kind of similar, except that Hawk was more violent when he was trying to kill that dude. It just makes this match more emotional, and seeing Takamura messed up like that is not a pleasant sight, although he looks cooler with his hair messed up, I'm not sure how this'll go, but so far this battle is just amazing. |
 |
| Even if his life ends, he has to go out and beat the shit of Hawk out :D |
| ITT: People whinging about absolutely nothing. |
| This really doesn't look good for Takamura, but I really really hope he wins non the less but somewhere I doubt that development but I have hope in him! Either way let's see what's next! |

| I thought this would happen, but damn, I don't like the look of where this is going. |
| I cried. I really hope he doesn't lose or worse retire or something. |
 |
| Wow just wow. i don't know what to say. Kaeji said: I am legitimately scared to watch the next episode. me too. |
| I legitimitely cannot believe people are hating on this episode. What in the holy fuck were you watching? This was one of the most epic eps of the series so far. The part when everyone's spirits were holding Taka up gave me serious chills. The only thing I could genuinely understand complaining about is the soundtrack placement. Hawk's backstory should have had more sinister music, and the part when everyone is crying over Takamura and the spirits show up should have had Eternal Loop playing instead of that weird kazoo shit. Other than that though it was phenomenal |
| It seems impossible to win. Amazing episode. |
 |
| Hawk is pretty messed up. His coach is even more. And damn, Takamura looks great with his hair down. I bet he wouldn't have any problem being a chick magnet with that style lol |

I bet he wouldn't have any problem being a chick magnet with that style lol yeah he looks so sexy! dammn this scene was so beautiful  Also his relationship with the coach is adorable. It is more like a father&son thing |
 |
| This is looking bad for Takamura. I was expecting him to win it but think it won't be possible. Didn't know he couldn't hold for more than 5 rounds cause of his body. |
| Nakama power just this once, please You never failed in Fairy Tail :P |
"Signature removed"   |
| First time seeing Takamura with a different hairstyle. I can feel it, he's gonna make a comeback, a badass comeback only a real champion can do. |
 |
| JUST KO HIM PLEASE!!!!!!!!!! |
| "The future is always blank. Only your willpower can leave footsteps there." "Ruling over death means ruling over life. Death is the climax of life. To have the best death, you must honor life." |
| I guess Takamura is going to die... |
| I hate everyone equally |
| Can't say too much about direction, because I wasn't paying too much attention to first season - I was simply too addicted to it, but it's definetely worse than in first season.I don't feel the same ''charm'' 1st season had. At least the animation is better and Kimura and Miyato don't look so alike. |

| Takamura's hanging in there for dear life and the one thing that's been keeping him upfloat was the hopes and dreams of his friends. It's already bad enough that Takamura's barely there but Hawk really is a psychopath who's out to kill him... |
 |
| Damnit all, that fricking weight control! Takamura isnt done yet, he can keep going... I believe in him! |
 |
| hawk coach: "just wanted to know how he will be in the ring" seriously? that guy isn't boxer, he's psychopath lol. feeling this match too much dragged, and takamura getting too much power-ups, some made sense, the late ones doesn't, and the way this lead it's seems it's going the hajime no ippo way. in first series i didn't really cared for the good direction, in this series i just wish for hawk to beat takamura up and takamura will rise for the dead to kill him lol. but oh well... takamura is still my favourite here, he staked all he got in the first five... |
| takamura looks fire lowkey with messy hair, hawk and miguel flashback pretty cool. takamura's lines never miss and him and the chief's chemistry is one of the best. |
 |
| Bruh don't even get me started on weight management again XD Takamura's spirit goes crazy. Surely he pulls off a crazy turnaround soon and wins this.. (hopefully) |
