| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Nice setup episode for the upcoming fight. Joe is going to be smashed because he won't be able to secure the win if he isn't able to punch the head properly :c Joe really destroys people with those body blows though, like damn, blood coming from peoples mouths. He's retired two people due to loss of confidence and sent another two to hospital with internal bleeding. Jesus. |
| the official MAL hall of fame/cursed comments is now open for business - you are welcome to PM me any potential quotes to include |
| If only Joe would've been able to hit opponent's heads properly sooner.. |
| Oh I remember this body blow alright. |
 |
| The fight against Tiger is getting close. |
 |
| Joe is so OP they need to take him down fast, looks like he's facing a National champion next, damn. |
 |
| Looks like Joe's next rival gonna be Shiraki Yoko. she appears much more confident and assertive than she was back in season 1. i like where this is heading. honestly, prior to watching the anime, i thought Yoko would be the main character's -Joe- love interest. however, the rivalry dynamic of their relationship is much more interesting and refreshing. Also, i wonder what kind of "conspiracy" they're scheming against Joe. |
| The plot is getting more interesting. With the dialogue of Yoko and Joe I can see the change that Joe has had in those 6 months he was without entering a ring. It is also curious to see that now Yoko is the president of the Shiraki boxing club, I think that maybe she will become, so to speak, the new phase that Joe will have to face. And the conspiracy made by the presidents of the boxing clubs. It was expected of the damn Odaka, and now at last Joe and Danpei meet Tiger Ozaki... |
| This is way better than the same events in the original, they didn't made too obvious that Joe has a weakness and the presidents don't act like generic villains. |
 |
| Joe kicking his opponents in the chin and Tiger's evil look made me think about how much of Joe's charm depends on how he's drawn. For a lot of the series Joe is not heroic at all, doing things that are reprehensible. Yet he appears more sympathetic than his opponents because of the difference in how they look. It's not just for the sake of viewers either. His antisocial behaviour combined with his pretty boy image explains why everyone's so forgiving time after time. A good example of the halo effect. |
| The ED is growing on me.... like a lot |
   |
| Joe has gotten so good that the heads are fixing matches for him lol. But I bet this plan will backfire, causing Joe to get even more recognition and a world champion rank. |
 |
| Okay so now I’m really curious on when this show now takes place. At one point in the episode they were playing True Love by Seiko Matsuda (banger tune), a song released in 1980. But shouldn’t the show be taking place in the late 60s or 70s at this point? Absolutely loving the show so far, but I’m always OCD about stuff like that. |
