It's funny in the manga, we still have yet to see what Aoki's family is like. In the last series, you learn about Takamura's family and his background and we already know about Ippo, Kimura and Itagaki and Aoki's family is STILL a mystery.

Man, this episode and the last one reminded me why I love so much Hajime no Ippo.
The comedy is pure gold and the ost were great.
Anyway, hopefully this match is as intense as Kimura's title match against Mashiba.
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...

At least one punch before the episode ended would have been great... Still great episode, the scene with the girlfriend coming to the changing room was hilarious.

I like that this fight was built up the way it did. It gives us more of a reason to get behind Aoki. Let's see if he can finally win the big one!

Decent built up and i like that guys like Aoki get there little time in the sun with such episodes. Also the series humor is always amazing. Let's hope the fight will be done good.

Funny the anime is leaving out how Aoki developed his new move. Just feels strange and incomplete without it. In the manga, it was thanks to
that he was able to develop it. Unfortunately in the games, you can't abuse it.


They probably shuffled the order of events. They might show the origin of the move once he actually uses it. They're probably keeping it a secret from the audience (and the guys from Kamogawa gym).

What an awesomely bad ass and hilarious pump up episode, I've never seen Aoki this serious. Also glad to hear lots of old soundtracks returning, I missed them.

This fight looks great so far. Looks like Aoki's gonna stick to comedic shit to throw Imae off. That'll be a nice change of pace from the super serious fights we've had recently.

Also, the Tomiko humor was spot on

Haha what a twin in women's preferences xD
No offense but usually women that's not too attractive is pretty nice, not always though
But in this anime seems that's the case
Feel bad for her.. kinda

I feel bad for people behind Takamura & Itagaki's dad

I guess you can say he just "pissed" Aoki xD

Damn that scene looked so serious but did he just squish that frog?

I can feel it, Aoki's title match is gonna be the best fight of this series.

This season looks just like another shounen with typical degenerative japanese humour...Just how can you go from greatness and good balance of jokes and writing of first season to this?

Face reveal of Imae's ex was such a lol moment.

Takamura and Itagaki-san combi is hilarious btw

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

While they don't really fit within the usual beauty standards, Aoki's relationship with Tomiko truly is something to envy by many a boxer! I hope that his Goddess of Victory was able to motivate him enough to get a win!

It was very amusing to see how similar Imae and Aoki are to each other despite being polar opposites in the ring.

itagaki feels like one of the MC but he still remains at side character spotlight lol.

aoki sure build good tense here, though maybe because it's his aura or this match style, it doesn't feel as title match. but it may because we had more than title matches since 2nd series that even title matches gonna feels like this lol.
