Ippo put up a really good fight despite losing at the end and everyone knows that. That doesn't mean that it wasn't disappointing to see him lose when he was so close to winning though. It's slowly getting to him despite Kumi's efforts to cheer him up...
Mashiba's simply hilarious as always and Ippo and Kumi's first date was really adorable~ It was also awesome to see that all of his strongest rivals gathered together at Korakuen Hall.
it would be actually more sad for ippo to win if he would cry a little, seeing him only depressed making me feel he stopping himself express his feelings, and from anime experience, it's more emotional and tearful when the character is crying.
coach: "you are suspended from box activities for three months'
ippo: "hai"
*punching*
xDDD
wish for kumi to make more move with ippo than invite him to date.
it was pretty horrible for ippo to left her alone at the haunted house.
mashiba can very well be in haunted house and fit in it :p
long time we haven't seen miyata, hope it's not only to be in the crowd, but to see him boxing a little.
vorg vs sendo gonna be interesting, though sadly i guess the opening spoils it...
but even without that, i thing sendo is more fitting to be rival for ippo.
and also, he lose while being in chair rather in the middle of the match, it's only deserves him to be lost/win in rightful way.
Mashiba is a great character! Funny and much needed light episode. And boy, so many great fighters returning, I wonder how the next tournament/competition will turn out, I want too see all the awesome boxers introduced so far duking it out in the ring!
It's sad to see Ippo so depressed 😔 He's really beating himself up.
When Kumi pushed Ryo I was shocked! 😲
It was cold what he said to Ippo when he's already depressed.
And THEN WHEN RYO WAS IN THE HAUNTED HOUSE OMG 😂😂
Not being able to practice for three months after losing such an important match must be terrible as you're left with only your thoughts and nothing to take your mind off them. At least in my sport (Kendo) you can go back to the hall (most of the time anyway) immediately after your tournaments.
Untill now I couldn't feel or sympathise with any other losses until Ippo lost. Worst thing he lost to the greedy old geyser like that. I sad but pissed;
This chapter, apart from being about a quote from Kumi and Ippo, the fact that one of the most talented boxers in the series has lost and has not claimed the belt is too sad.
Without a doubt so far the best fight of Hajime no Ippo...
Sad that Ippo had to give up on the belt. He's still got a long way to go and everyone around him knows that he will get there eventually. He's going to be recovering from his injuries for three months now, he hangs out with Kumi at the amusement park. It's funny how Ryo is always attacking Ippo because he lost to him lol.
