And here I thought those two would teach him all sorts of useless stuff, thus rendering the episode useless.. thankfully, I was wrong ^_^

I wonder if he'll use their technique to help them later in the series ;)

I wonder if he'll ever kick the asses of those bullies, if he waits much longer he'll kill them by accident ;)

Great episode, its really fun for some reason watching Ippo's progress, he's come a long way already in such a short span of time, I guess he can only get stronger now, but seeing just how far he goes should be an awesome ride =]

I'm liking the pace of this anime so far. Hopefully they keep making more episodes like this one so we get to see his progression as a boxer. =p

Look like the director want to create a rivalty between Ippo and Miyata. It's clever.

That was mentioned in the first comment.


The opening makes no sense at all but it's catchy.

Not sure how accurate those training methods are (with the thinner pads to build confidence and all that), but I like the depiction of the coach. Also genius how he incited a rivalry to help both his students simultaneously.

This series is really good. Not only do we got to see him grow and continuously progress with his training, I also really liked the comedy scenes. It combines both silly stuff and serious character development perfectly! The animation is pretty damn good too, and I like the soundtrack! It's not bombastic, but really fits the scenes! I am already rooting for Ippo.

I guess I can consider myself hooked!

Kanchou lol

I found the duo baka(s)!
Ippo just didn't know he's going to be a toy for them xD

That uppercut pose seems pretty uncomfortable
But I guess that was a perfect form?

As a wiseman said "Guide them and let them grow up on their own ways, no need to show them step by step" xD
Showing step by step is the same as killing their growth

Next ep, vs. Miyata again?

So far, he's finally gotten a grasp of how his soon-to-be opponent will fight in the ring without having to step into it and face against him again. Impressive~

That uppercut looked sweet too. All he needs to do is to keep that up and find a way to make it hit.

Ippo starting his training well as that grandpa makes him Miyata's future opponent. He also learned the upper cut this episode which is pretty useful. Also shadow boxing which he's getting to master.
