| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Damn, this is the finale. The match is pretty awesome and that's a pretty tough knockout. That bleeding eye looks painful just by looking at it. Anyways, I'm going to miss this show. 8/10. This final arc involving the flashbacks was pretty decent. Tears were shed ;_; Bro fist. :p I hope for another season in the future. |
 |
| Another great Hajime no Ippo season. Time to wait 3 years for another one... |
| Amazing finale I can only hope they'll make another season eventually |
| That match was crazy af. I surely will miss Ippo, I really do hope for a season 4 soon. One of the most motivating shows ever. 9/10 |
| Honestly I didn't give two shits about the fight, but loved the rest that really made me tear up when he broke his fists on some Ippo shit and man... For now I hope they come out with a movie next... When the next season comes I'm going to try and wait for it to air completely. Kamogawa is amazing gonna add him as one of my fav characters now |
| Lol holy shit Kamogawa beat the crap outta that guy. Emotional last episode and a great way to end the season 8/10 |
 |
| I felt like I was watching a movie at a black movie theater based on how loud I was yelling. That first body blow was absolutely insane and then he comes in with another freaking rib shattering Ippo right. It was a very emotional episode and that was like the 3rd best knockout of the whole entire series. Awesome ep, 9/10 this season for me, fingers crossed for a new season guys! ( and gals, if any watch this series :p) |
| Great fight, as always. |
| Guys i want to start reading manga at what chapter is this? |

| All" loved it" votes for this ep and all very deserved. This was the best ep for this third season, and I definitely got teary at the end there. This is easily the best sports anime series of all time. |
| This whole arc has been pretty intense, but the back to back body blows and the emotional high of the epilogue were the icing on the cake. Not sure if this tops the first season, because that has the advantage of having three times as many episodes, but I'm definitely feeling this one over the second season. 9/10 |

| Wow. I'm happy to see people loved this episode and season in general. Personally I didn't enjoy it as much cause i have read the manga already. But still I am 100% sure that I would be just as excited ,if not more, if I watched it without knowing. It was a good season overall 8/10 for me. I hope they keep it up with the season i don't think i ever got bored reading the manga so i think they have enough good material to make more enjoyable season. PS>Kamogawa and Nekota were beasts xD |
 |
| OMG Jesus Christ son that was awful the view from inside of that dudes body as he was getting punched ughhhhhhhh shit. That animation was scary if my grandmother watched this she would probably faint. Kamogawa is too hard on himself though, I wouldn't have rejected Yuki. Lol @ Aoki praying "The coach and Nekota will be joining you soon". Way to ruin a touchy moment you moron. |
| Good finale and awesome fight I hope next season wont take too long |
| HOLY SHIT! Those body blows were some of the most brutal anime scenes I have ever seen |
| It's sad to think that it'll probably take ages for a 4th season, if we'll ever get one that is, but this was at least a good final arc to conclude Rising. The highlight of this third season has been the Aoki title match for me, it was simply hilarious. Takamura's fight against Eagle and Ippo's one vs Sawamura were exciting as well, but overall I still preferred New Challenger over Rising because of the comedy. 8/10 Anyway, this has been such a nice ride that now I'm seriously considering to start reading the manga. |
| 5 main aspects I base my ratings on: 1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it? 2. Is it better than Breaking Bad? 3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it? 4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL? 5. Is it actually good? Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant... |
| A solid 10/10 for me. So many feels and that OST , holy shit. Hope we get an OVA of some kind soon, I can't wait another few years for season 4 |
Rest In Peace [img] |
| Kamogawa Epic win!, Broke both arms and KO'd the American breaking his ribs and causing internal damage! I havent read much of the magna but when the dude said who ever gets they man seed"child?" is going to be great.... Is Kamogawa somehow Ippo's gramps? if he is it'll be epic! I still want to know what the hell happened to nekomata's nose!! Hope there is a Season 4 soon!!! |
 |
| Damn, those body blow animations were crazy. So many feels near the end, including that post-credits tribute. This was better than the 2nd season for sure. |
| That was pretty good :D The last 4 eps was a pretty good to show the coach and his early life ^^. Seems like there's gonna be another season cause ippo still needs to win the world :D |
| Words aren't the only way to tell someone how you feel.- Tifa lockhart Which is it? A memory or us? -Tifa lockhart |
| Perfect ending episode U___U |
| Stop the sequels high-ranking stupidity. Group franchises in Top Anime page. Because Gintama is just "one" anime and not 5. |
| I hope I won't have to wait another 4 years for S4 :( |
 |
| Damn Kamogawa is a man's man. |
Tyestor said: Another great Hajime no Ippo season. Time to wait 3 years for another one... well, its just like waiting 2 years for the evangelion movies...its not such a big deal...we can wait...more like.. we WILL wait, and we will watch it i was kinda..doumbfounded when it just ended the season like that with a flashback arc(even if i loved it) oh man, i cant wait for the real figths, |
| Being a fan is like having a penis. Its nice to be proud of it But don't pull it out in public and wave it in other's faces Kyurem Black. Kyurem White. Together they are Pretty Kyurem. |
| Sit down. Try not to cry. Cry a lot.... A perfect ending for such a great season. Sure, many things were rushed by i am emotionally satisfied. |
| Damn the animation at the end if the fight was amazing. Seriously, they did better than I could have hoped with this arc. In general, this season was amazing. Even though they cut out a few parts I would have liked to see animated, the soundtrack and pacing and interesting fights far surpass NC. I think the only other disappointment in this series is Takamura's fight. So boring. Hopefully we won't have to wait too long for another season. I'll probably end up reading it in the manga before that happens, but I really can't wait to see Aichiro said: Kamogawa is too hard on himself though, I wouldn't have rejected Yuki. j0x said: Kamogawa mainly rejected Yuki for Nekota. Kamogawa only saw her as a friend and even if he did accept her feelings, he probably wouldn't feel right taking her from his best bro. He already said something along these lines in one of the past episodes .-.the only thing that bothered me this episode is that Kamogawa rejected Yuki, why not love both boxing and Yuki at thesame time, damn |
 |
| damn that fight.. that body blow.. damn.. epic |
 |
| I think he killed the american lol. Best fight in series. But i wanted to see Mashiba vs Sawamura come on... I |
 |
| Holy Shit! Those punches were just insane hahaha! Awesome season overall. I think we'll see more in the future. |
j0x said: the only thing that bothered me this episode is that Kamogawa rejected Yuki, why not love both boxing and Yuki at thesame time, damn that was what i'm thinking too :( but i guess kamogawa already considering all factors why she shouldn't be w/ him |
 **☾** |
| The feels.. T-T Master Piece.. next season, please. |
| I have mix feelings to this season, a lot of stuff was skipped at first and the quality at the first half of the series was kinda awful, the second half was way better in terms of quality and story and they even returned the flashback at the end of the series, that chronological happens after the first fight in this season (as far as I remember from the manga). Looking forward for season 4 no matter how many years will pass, I'll keep waiting. |
| Oh man, the dedication for Utsumi and Nagai. The fights weren't the best this time round, but Aoki's antics were amazing, and then we closed with the past arc which was brilliant. Hajime no Ippo, going strong. Until next time. |
| Epic Body blow!!! That was friggin brutal!!! Loved this season a lot. Perfect! Lol'd at Aoki saying Nekota and coach are gonna be following u soon And Nekota saying forget about Aoki XD Seems like Nekota and Yuki had a platonic relationship? No kids? |

( and gals, if any watch this series :p) hey, that's mean! =P Girls, of course, watch this kind of anime too! I love Hajime no Ippo! XD It's cool! I've seen 1st and 2nd season, OVAs, Movie.. I've read the manga also from 1st to the latest chapter so I'm a fan of this series! By the way, I'm not arguing with you.. just pointing out that gals like awesome fight scenes too.. XD hahaha! peace out! |
 |
| Easiest 10/10 of my life? NO PLEASE GIVE US MORE,WHERE ARE YOU GOING HAJIME NO IPPO? Its so sad every time this anime ends and we have to wait 3+ years for a sequel. |
 |
| The intensity of Kamogawa's fight is only rivaled by Takamura's match with Hawk and Ippo's fight with Sawamura. I've never seen such determination in a fight since then. This season was simply amazing, in terms of both fights, as well as story-line. If the season ended with the train passing off into the sunset, it would have been just as great. But having it end with Yuki was pure amazing. Really enjoyed how the last two episodes transitioned from a brutal fight to a mellow, feel-good ending. It shows just how well-rounded Hajime no Ippo is. For this season, I'd have to rank the fights as: Ippo vs. Sawamura Kamogawa vs. Anderson Takamura vs. Eagle Ippo vs. Shimabukuro Kimura vs. Eleki Aoki vs. Papaya Miyata vs. Medgern I wish the Miyata fight was a bit more serious. He's one of my more favored characters. |
| dem feels in this ep Definitely another 9/10 season for me. Panda2013 said: That was freaking beautiful. Wow. 10/10. I don't know if I want to go read the manga or wait for the anime. How close is the anime to the manga? The anime just left at around the 61-63 tomes, there are already a bit more than 100 so still pretty far. |
| that was hands down the best arc in the entire series for me, i got really misty eyed throughout all of it definitely my favorite season of this series yet, from weight of my pride making both major fights reach a new level of epicness, to the always fantastic comedy, and to this powerful final arc its definetly a strong 9/10 from me |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| That second body blow was probably the most awesome punch in the entire series. |
