| What an awesome episode. When it was revealed that she came from Hiroshima to Tokyo it gave me the chills. It's truly amazing how this series can grab onto your emotions unlike other average shonen series. Nekota was a beast in his younger days. |
| I really hope they'll announce another season after this season ends... Or I'll just start reading the manga x) Epic episode :-) |
| When Nekota was pedaling I was like: "Dat cadence !!!!" That's a Yowamushi Pedal fan for you ... |
 |
| So much tension in this episode ;_; GO Nekota GO With his skills, it's a shame that we don't get to see Nekota fight much. It sure would be interesting. Same goes for Kamogawa! |
 |
| Wtf? How's the american on his knees? Did Nekota actually deal a decisive blow? But the real question I want to know is how is Nekota still alive currently? Has he been punch drunk all these years? And also that was such a good bro moment when Kamogawa was thinking of Nekota's feelings before his own. That's the problem when you and your best friend like the same person, someone is bound to get hurt. |
| I'm watching Rainbow at the same time as watching this. All the hiroshima bomb survivors and Japan vs. USA boxing is almost frighteningly coincidental. It's even more so since the last ep of Rainbow I watched, Rainbow Spoiler |
Rest In Peace [img] |
Vogue- said: These last two episodes have been amazing. I prefer them over this season altogether and would watch a spin-off if the plotting allowed it. Yep. There's a stark difference when the original director is involved. After all, the first Ippo series was the best too. But don't get me wrong. The rest of this season has also been really good. |
| This is how anime should be. Not all those moe crap that seems to plague every season. God the feels... next season please do not be too far off lol |
 |
| This arc is really really good. |
| Damn it all, they're both enduring some debilitating disease. Yuki's in particular is certainly a fatal one. >_< Wow, he did it! I wonder how be brought the American down though. |
| You see there's no need to wonder where your god is, Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy. |
| Nekota was such a dangerous fighter.....but Kamogawa even more so. Yuki's backstory just hits you like a dagger. This is one of the best arcs of the whole series to me. |
 |
| I think this 1 arc is the most powerful arc in the whole series |
Immahnoob said: Jizzy, I know you have no idea how to argue for shit, tokiyashiro said: Jizzy as you would call yourself because youre a dick The most butthurt award goes to you And clearly you havent watched that many shows thats why you cant determine if a show is unique or not Or maybe you're just a child who likes common stuffs where hero saves the day and guys gets all the girls. 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 |
| Looking forward to seeing how Nekota knocked down this guy. |
| This arc is pretty awesome :D |
 |
| Amazing episode with some nice drama and tension. |
| https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XAJkCdczlTw Can any1 help me out with the name of this song? I've been looking all over for it since the previous season. |
 |
| Quite impressive development of this backstory! Let's see what's next. |
 |
| JESUS CHRIST OLD JAPAN MAN I LOVE THIS SHIT WAY MORE THAN ANYTHING HAJIME NO IPPO HAS SHOWN BEFORE RAINBOW ALL OVER AGAIN NIGGAS LOVE IT This Genji and Nekota flashback arc is FUCKING lovely. |
| Everyone is just overly impatient. But I like how it ended. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| I really didn't expect this backstory to be so damn good. The feels train is coming :( |
| Damn, this arc is really good. I'm hoping Nekota fucks this douche up, but I'm guessing he'll lose and Kamogawa will avenge him or something. Still, these episodes have been fantastic. |
| Good emotional backstory so far. |
 |
| Damn why did they cut the fight i wanted to see Nekota beat the shit outta that american bitch |
| Those guys sure had it tough damn '-' |
| Most heaviest episode in the series yet :( Those three were living a harsh life :( |
 |
| Holy crap! I didn't expect this flashback to be as amazing as it is! The drama is really touching, even though we really don't know a lot about Nekota or Yuki as characters. I find the placement of this in the series a bit weird, but then again, this is such a great little arc so far, that I am glad Hajime no Ippo will end on a high note like that. |
| That's really sucks Those people didn't deserve it, to be nuked because their government start a war Until this day people from Nagasaki and Hiroshima still get radiated Can't imagine the effects when the bomb just dropped.. probably living hell Nekota's brain turn on and turn off at irregular intervals Seems a really severe disease And ofc at critical moment it'll kick in |

"Signature removed"   |
| "She died many years ago" "Are you from Hiroshima" Oh shit I have a bad feeling about Yuki Never thought Nekota went through all that. |
 |
| Ahhh classic love triangle. :D |
| "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." |
| A trio of childhood friends consisting of two of the same gender and one from the other will always lead to some sort of love triangle, oof Ah, so that's how it is... Yuki's a victim of the bombing of Hiroshima and she's got fatal radiation sickness while Nekota's suffering severe brain damage from all the untreated head injuries he had sustained. It's a shame that a boxer as good as Nekota wouldn't be able to fight anymore but I guess that a silver lining to this situation would be him surviving until the current day with his friend. |
 |
| Nekota is in no shape to be fighting. No wonder he retired after this fight... |
 |
| if not the names, i can just pretend it's another anime lol. i mean, yuki has decease, nekota have some disorder and kamekawa acting like drama actor lol, feeling like true sport drama. |
| damn that was a really nice episode, loved seeing the 3 of them interact together. did make me sad as well tho, yuki deserves better. hiroshima :(( young nekota actually looked like sendo at times tho. |
