| Firstly, I am not the type of guy who compares anime and manga all the time. And I'm reading HnI and as of now I'm on chapter 750's. So I of course read this fight before, and was looking forward to it animated. But unlike the other comments, mine comes this way: I was happy that after 2 weeks of break, HnI returned with one hour special. But after watching it, I again found myself asking this simple question: Why? The flashback scenes of Sawamura are totally ruined. Just adapt the damn pages already written and waiting! Of course there could be minor differences which should not be minded, but they did ruin the Submarine Wars as well. Why do they do this? And the studio is great as well. No way to understand. One hundred percent meaningless. Without that flashback, how can one grasp the motives of Sawamura in a complete circle? Don't misunderstand me, I like the anime a lot, but the adaptation does not live up to its source material. |
| That was one hell of a episode. I wanted it to be combined with episode 12 for 40 minutes of fun, but this did just fine. That fight was what I waited for since beginning of series. Anime is so much better than manga. Sure, manga is good, but fights are way too much prolonged. This was one hell of a battle, and what gave me goosebumps in manga, here almost gave me heart attack. OST, good drawing and Dempsey Roll sound made go crazy. |
| Ad Astra Per Aspera |
| My god. Not even a room to breathe !!!! |
 |
| It's been ages since I've read the manga. I think this adaptation does it more than justice, good show! |

| Such an amazing fight! |
 |
| Whoever thinks that this should be rated lower than the prequels after the last 11 episodes is wrong. Fucking immense. 5/5 10/10 |
| So, What do you think is on the other side? |
| Good episode, but ippos generic hero personality makes me want him to lose. |
 |
| coach sounds like coach in the oneouts.. |
 |
| Damn this anime is too godlike. Such a ridiculous fight in perfect Hajime no Ippo fashion. Anti Anti Anti Anti Dempsey Roll ftw |
Rest In Peace [img] |
| Am I the only one who got kinda creep-ed out with those muscles being torn? I mean fckkkkkk, ouch. |
"Your taste is shit cause you like what I hate. Believe me I have 1000 cartoons that I rated with less than 5."  |
| Top notch animations and music btw. Madhouse never disappoint. These two episodes gave me GOOSEBUMPS. I was literally immersed in it, I found myself with eyes and mouth wide open. Also, the momentum was just wow. sevki said: Firstly, I am not the type of guy who compares anime and manga all the time. And I'm reading HnI and as of now I'm on chapter 750's.

Don't misunderstand me, I like the anime a lot, but the adaptation does not live up to its source material. But hey, they said that some episodes ago. So I perfectly understood Sawamura's situation even without reading the manga. Cashdaxxx said: Am I the only one who got kinda creep-ed out with those muscles being torn? I mean fckkkkkk, ouch. Same. But it was perfectly done. |

| Amazing conclusion to the Sawamura fight. Probably one of the best fights in the series so far and gave me the same chills that i have the first time i watched Ippo vs Sendo II. I'd say Rising is better than new challenger in both Fights and OST department but the pacing is still rushed as hell. So it seems the last fight in the series is either Takamura vs David Eagle, and it's a damn great fight. I still want Kamogawa and Nekota's past though. |
| Sawamura got destroyed XD The whole Anti-Anti-Anti-Anti Dempsey Roll sequance was Intense! Amazing Animation, Madhouse! *Thumbs up* 5/5 |
| What a great match |

Don't misunderstand me, I like the anime a lot, but the adaptation does not live up to its source material. that bit you mentioned about sawamura's back story has already been addressed in the anime. I think it was shown in one of the 2 episodes before the fight.(either in episode 9 or 10) |
| Gosh! Just watched this episode without the previous one. Double episode? Oh fine. Thats what happens when you are in hurry. (;= |
 |
| H-O-L-Y C-R-A-P that was one hell of a fight, glad Ippo got Sawamura in hospital, would like to see what Sawamura thinks but I don't really see how taking the one thing he can believe in away from him is going to help him. |
| Awesome fight , awesome song , awesome anime :) |
| Watched 11 - 13 in one sitting. Pretty good fight I have to say. |
| a great ending to an incredible fight :) got chills at the end ad;sflkj just amazing! |
| Saw a minor flaw... after the last Dempsey Roll, Sawamura lost his mouthpiece (seen flung in the air with blood), then when he's about to go down, his mouthpiece is back in his mouth... |
| Seriously people, am I the only person that got the chills during that episode? First of all, I'm surprised and excited that they came out with a new season to Hajime No Ippo to begin with and then on top of that, to put so much work into everything, it makes me love the creators. What were your thoughts on this episode? I give it a 9/10, seriously. |

|
| Best episode so far, the moment when Ippo finished that bastard with Dempsey Roll was very satisfying :). |
| Nice conclusion to the fight. Best fight for this season so far. |
 |
| This fight did not disappoint. This season has been so well executed. Now it's time for Takamura! |
| Damn!!!That last dempsey was every bit as epic as the one that knocked the shit out of Sendo. Three ribs, four destroyed teeth and an eyeball out of it socket. Holy mother of scary motherfucking punches. Ippo is such a scary powerhouse.

Lol, i don't think you have been watching the show very well cause what you said was actually told. You just made a slight fool of yourself there. Banpen_Fugyo said: spacemonkey93 said: what can I say... I shivered, Ippo simply inspires though he sucks sometimes. Its not that he sucks, its just a Japanese thing. They always try and make the point, in almost every action anime, that guts/spirit is more important than strength/skill/intelligence etc. See: Ippo, Goku, Naruto, every shonen ever Hell, even the samurai's suicides were all about "showing their guts" (seppuku) If you haven't noticed the opponents in Ippo usually seem to share a similar determination of not wanting to lose and giving everything for the win so NO, is not about guts. What Hajime no Ippo likes to praise a lot is hard work. It always makes a point on how Ippo has incredible stamina and can last almost threw anything due to his trust in his training and the hard work he puts to built himself. |

| one of the best fights in the show coming after sendo vs ippo(second time) and takamura vs hawk(or bear lol) |
| Hot damn, Sawamura felt that last punch! XD Then his Anti-Anti-Anti-Dempsey Roll mid-episode didn't work when the Anti-Anti...ah heck let's just say it's a quadruple Anti Dempsey Roll (I'm thinking quad cannons, LOL) sent him an artillery barrage worth of punches to answer his pistol bullets. Sorry Ryuuhei, you won't have this particular tender meat today, perhaps never. Unless you wanna have a go at it in the future again? XP Good to hear that the internal damage brought by the evolved Dempsey Roll isn't that critical...yet. Anyway, a very good episode especially when Ippo started beating Ryuuhei down. |
| You see there's no need to wonder where your god is, Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy. |
guyuz said: Congratz on the win. But seriously, why isn't anyone in the series addressing the fact that Sawamura is a fucked up asshole that plays dirty, beats up people at random and punched Kumi? Stop complimenting him on a good fight and send him to fucking jail already. Also, since I marathoned the entire series and this is my first post about it, I gotta say that the use-any-method-to-win-including-cheating-and-conveniently-awful-referees thing is overused. Although usually they make up for it by making the rest of the fight pretty good. They did say he played dirty and such and probably they wanted him to go in jail too. At least Mashiba for sure wanted it. Yeah, the cheating is overused in spokon, yet is always effective. Anyway, this time they used the cheat-thing two or three times? So I can't complain. |
