| I wish the fight was longer. Still, for what it was it was good. I'm hoping Vorg comes back. I was just starting to really like him. So this sets up Ippo Vs Sendo for the title belt. I'm assuming that's where the first series will end. Honestly though, I feel like him overcoming Date would be more meaningful than another Sendo fight. He's already beaten the guy, and he isn't as tough as Date or Vorg. Plus, he doesn't have that veteran aura that Date had which'll make it feel less impactful if Ippo gets the title from him. |
| Damm, that was surely harsh, I was expecting vorg to win too, and he would if not for the stupid refeery... hope to see vorg again someday. |
 |
| I kind of like that the writers didn't make it seem like Japan is incapable of bias against fighters from other countries. It holds that if Miata had to win convincingly in Thailand, Vorg needed to win convincingly here. You see this type of shite in international sports a lot. |
| ~ The world is not beautiful, therefore it is. |
| I hope he can comeback with greater titels. Sayonara such a sorrowful word ;-; |
| The most saddest episode in the anime :( Volg was clearly better than Sendo. And the goodbye tho T_T I got curious and read the spoilers on the wiki. And good thing I did :') |
 |
| I'm just really happy he'll continue boxing despite being robbed. Go do your thing, man. |
| Holy shit that was an emotional last scene. I liked Volg's character, he has that solemnent look, is an introvert guy and is living and fighting alone in a foreigner country which is always tough. Looks like Ippo is the closest thing to a friend he's ever had. I really hope we can see him back again, probably in the world championship? Not really sure why he should have to drop his gloves and the gyms have really few endurance if they kick a player after only 2 losses (looks like money is involved, even when we haven't seen Ippo or the others get their paycheck, or did we? I don't recall it). He has probably the best skillset out of all the competitors except for Date, yeah I know his stamina and resistence to the hits isn't the best, but still. And by the way, lol c'mon so the rigging isn't only a matter of our reality but also is a part of this anime? Damnit, let's be real, Volg clearly won that game, that was a homecall from the referees. Sad to see this. Takamura stealing Aoki's wallet and money was hilarious XD This show never dissapoints in the humourous side. |

| NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was on Team Vorg Q______Q He''s the real winner to me ;A; and deserves so much more. Come back soon D':> don't say bye D:> |
| I really prefer Vorg win I like Sendo but Vorg have priorities to win more than Sendo Sendo -> buying kids games Vorg -> for her mother to back healthy Also entire arena against Vorg Aww, I feel bad for Vorg, what an unfair world :( |
"Signature removed"   |
| I was getting the feeling Volg wasn't going to get his rematch with Ippo more and more as the fight went on :( He was a rlly great, fleshed out character. I'll miss him. |
 |
| Sendo became the new featherweight champion, really thought Vorg would win. Really sad to see him leave Japan because of him losing. Poor Aoki for having his money stolen by Takamura. |
 |
| Man, this episode was brutal for Vorg. Not that he got beaten badly but the fact that he got played like that. I'm sure Sendou felt bad about it as well. And then the airport scene. That part gets me everytime, it's heartbreaking. This show is truly something else. |

| Ah fuck, I CANT believe you've done this :( I was already sad when Vorg lost the first time, and now he's out.. life is cruel, life is sad.. |
| No Vorg cannot end like this. I cried. T_T |
 |
| It’s sad to see Volg go away. Hopefully, he'll come back later. Good episode! |
 |
| Damn, Volg was robbed of victory 2 times, but this one hit harder. |
| "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." |
| Volg is one of the most talented boxers out there and his termination due to boxing fans not liking him after he lost twice in a row to absurdly powerful opponents like Ippo and Sendo by a hair shows how cruel the professional boxing field can be. I've been successful in holding back tears for a lot of moments in this anime but Volg's farewell had me saying "fuck it" so I can cry all I want because it was that sad for me. I wish that they can somehow get in touch with each other soon since it'd be too sad if their saga really ended there... |
 |
| The unfair ending is sad, but that is what the author wanted to convey to us, that not everything in boxing is always fair and also not in life. Hope to see him fight again :( |
| Sometimes otakus are rejected by society, so I discovered that it is much better to be an otaku in secret.  |
| AWWWW yooo, I can't believe it went down to the points, and they didn't count it properly either... THAT GOODBYE THO, IM SO SAD. I hope they have a reunion one day ;w; |
| Damn that referee, the last scene with Vorg when that ending song hits that was a epic moment. It was great to see your fight Vorg you will be missed Takamura-Your stuff is mine, mine stuff is mine too. Lmao |
| An absolutely brilliant episode, got me in all of my feels. One of the strengths of this series is that you feel for the side characters, all of the rivals, so much. It also evolves the side characters in a way that is transformative and important. At the beginning of the Vorg v. Sendo I was rooting for them both equally, and then I shifted to root for Sendo. If I knew what would happen to Vorg, I'm sure I would have thought differently. It was a twist that made sense, but I didn't see coming. I think that Vorg was a character that people could sympathize with a lot, even back in his battle with Ippo. I hope that we will have a comeback with Vorg, seeing Ippo fight his former rivals seems to be something that is foreshadowed. Not in this series, I don't think they could do that with the fifteen episodes left, but in the sequel. I'm interested to see what they do with the last fifteen episodes. |
 |
| Ippo with the emotions again. Poor Volg, even the gifted have to go through unfortunate circumstances, but it's awesome that he hasn't given up. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| i'm crying and i can't stop somebody help me i won't be at peace until volg returns |
 |
| your stuff is mine, my stuff is mine too!! lol Takamura is too funny!!! also ahh Volg should have won that match but it is what it is... i'm going to miss him, such a dope character! |
If you don't like me, acquire some taste |
| Awesome episode it's so satisfying and cool to hear Sendo speaking in Osaka dialect lol I was cheering for him the whole time, but it also didn't feel right for Volg to lose the match so I was wondering how they would solve that in terms of plot.. the author managed the whole situation masterfully |
| Pretty sad considering Vorg was actually the winner.... |
 |
| the result was pretty expected, but the way sendo to win was truly from no-where. love that sendo doesn't feels as he "won", helps to know he think that he thought the same, too bad the judge didn't reconsider. ippo farewell from vorg was nice, though it probably won't be last time we will see him. |
| That's what it is like to fight in the opponent's home. Biased decisions. Plus boxing's final scoring method is also a bit off. Goodbye, Volg. |
 |
| Godang Sendo, that smash was insane. 💪🏻 Ref was playing dirty with Volg 🙄 I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY'RE SENDING VOLG BACK TO RUSSIA WTF AWW HIM GIVING IPPO HIS GLOVES WTF THATS SO SWEET DAMN I REALLY CAME TO LIKE VOLG. SAYONARA VOLG 😢😢😢 |
| nahh volg deserved better man, hope to see more of volg atleast sometime later. the music right at the end hit. big ups to sendo tho. |
 |
| Hope Volg makes a come back you never know |
 |
| Another Sad moment. just the end got me depress. that fight was rigged af. but that is why boxing is slowly dead. |
| Wow, tough that Sendo wins by unanimous decision just like that. I liked how touching Ippo and Volg's final talk became even though they'd been in the ring together and seen each other's fight with other opponents. I really enjoyed Volg as a character not just a fighter. |
| Re:W Amazing combat! Punchs, punchs and punchs, for one side to the other, but both fighters full of spirit!! Sendo won, but it was no the most important! kekeke |
