Now I feel bad for all I writted :(

But the scene where they were laughing at Ippo was hilarious, I couldn't stop laughing! xD

Good thinking, Ippo. Friendship >>>>>>>>>>>> Love (dumb girl)

Being with Mashiba's sister will just make you more dumb

Oh man that last part was hilarious! But damn that sure is a nice character twist, interesting and well I do wonder what Ippo will do now, I did not expect such relation development to be honest! Let's see what's next though.

I didn't expect that, I thought the girl would be Miyata's sister just like everyone did!
I loved how they elaborated more on Myshima's background, absorbing my huge hate towards him. I won't say I like him now but I hate him less, maybe feel sorry for him.

Thank you Takamura and team for adding laughs on heavy episodes XD

Excellent comedies and characters development. Mashiba's background story was a nice touch to the story but I STILL cannot FORGIVE him for cheating against Miyata-kun. I hope IPPO kick his ass.

What a shocker. I really thought that the girl will be Miyata's GF or little sister. Was suprised to know that she was Mashiba's sister. Anyway, I really like Takamura and his gang. They always make fun of Ippo.

The twist was well placed, nice to see more motivation behind Ryo's actions. He's the Kevin Owens of this show. Not really a nice guy, but cynical because he has to be in order to provide for him and his sister.

It's not unrealistic though tbh. He may lose some heel heat, but he's still a dick nonetheless.

They are a bit late with the tragic backstory. After this guy has been made out to be the freaking devil incarnate, I really can't empathise with him. Go, Ippo! I liked the teasing of the others in this episode. I think this might be going a bit too far if this was real life, even as a joke between friends, but it's hilarious nonetheless! Will Ippo ever learn to stop giving them reasons to tease him? Probably not. But that's why we love him! :P

I am hyped for the fight! And also interested to see whether the imouto love story will still be a thing after the results of the match.

Lmao. No wonder she ain't cute. She's related to Mashiba xD

I thought she was Miyata's lil sis and got the short end of the stick with them genes, but she was actually LUCKY bc she could've looked like Mashiba-- right up Aoki's alley tho lmfao *barf*

Idc about their sob sibling story. You reap what you sow and cheaters never prosper, so BYE BETCHESSSSSSS.

"Like I'd lose to that guy"
Ah I see.. He just said a famous word before they lost

That was like the worst, to fall in love with Mashiba's lil sis xD
Oh Ippo.. that was like that last time, you go to seek "advice" to Takamura and said similar thing :P

I guess Mashiba's heart has been broken for too many times
I feel bad for lil sis though.. seems like Mashiba too worried about society and money, he forgot to look at his sis' worried face

Never expected bakery girl to be Mashima's sister.

"why does everyone see my brother as villain"
Just maybe, hypothetical speaking, he stepped on his opponents feet full intentional and went full ballistic on him in a match where the opponent almost won, just maybe...

I'll have to say that the last thing I'd expect was for a cutie like her to actually be Mashiba's little sister. It'll definitely bring up an inner conflict on whether he should destroy the man who unfairly crushed his best friend's dreams or not but at least she's become the one thing that'll stand between Ippo and him being a monster.

Being desperate enough to want to win in order to support your little sister to the point of most likely cheating to get there is still scummy even if you do have an admittedly sad background. Miyata has aspirations and a cause to live for too, you know. While his cheating can't be justified, other people's treatment towards him at work aren't justified either.

Takamura is the worst, that's why I enjoy him so much hahaha

This episode had one hell of a curveball, tho and I love how this series introduces it's characters and their backrounds. Also how it develops them slowly.

Fucking Stretch Armstrong over here redefining what the human body can do.

Also Takamura going "Shuum-shuum-shuum" was too funny.


Things with Mr. Evil 2D guy got a lot more three dimensional, explains why he was desperate enough to cheat.

I though she was Miyata's sister. That was a plot twist I didn't see coming at all. Though writing wise, I see why they did it. Makes things spicier and more interesting.

Takamura is so trifling, but I love him! 😂 He had the phone in his hand while promising not to tell the others. That is so diabolical! 😂 😭 And not him turning it around on Ipo, when Ipo called him out! 😂

I can see why Kimi ni Todoke and Black Clover have characters similar to Takamura. My favorite type of Sensei.

Ippo was punching until it was bleeding. He was obsessed with winning this match as revenge for Miyata. But now he found that the girl is the sister of Mashiba & is a good brother, not an abusive brother. If he wins, that girl will hate him now.
