That guy is waiting to fight Ippo at the all Japan tournament, but Ippo might not participate in it....

I don't think Mashiba ever wanted to see anyone pity him... that's why the hardass demeanor and the rude personality...he's human...flaws and all. Great match ! Hope ippo recovers and participates in All Japan Tournament.

This anime is really good at making you feel for both fighters and not just the main character, and they did it again for Mashiba none the less. This whole fight was killing me because it could have went in any direction and that's what I love about this show.

Fantastic fight and a fantastic end to the fight. Also "Stand Proud" is such a good ost.

That was an intense fight. I was rooting for Mashiba though. The nice guy Ippo is starting to get on my nerves. I would have found it more interesting to follow a bit more a bad guy with some issues...

Why does Kumi think her brother is doing this for her ;d if he cared about how she feels, he wouldn't be into boxing, he would have tried and keep a job, lmao. He's boxing, because he wants to box, and more importantly, because he wants to be on top no matter what. I seriously didn't like his attitude towards Ippo, not when he cussed him to "lay down there forever", nor when he refused to respectfully bump his bloody fist. Toxic pride, much?

Other than that... I am happy Ippo won, of course, but I can't yet get on this ship with Kumi :D She didn't even acknowledge he is on the ring, lmao, and he was like "she was probably shocked". LMAOOO my dude, stop simping XDD

Curious to see how they will get Ippo in the tournament, even though his hand won't be trained for so long and will be just about healed when it starts.

am i supposed to feel bad for Mashiba?? I DON'T!! That bitch ass is a horrible person and deserved everything comin to him. Sure bitch and complain how you can't make ends meet and get fired from your jobs like,,BITCh,,, no one wants you around if you're unpleasant and rude TF?? Learn some respect and human decency. Take some pointers from your poor sister and be less of an ass. You have no excuse to be down on yourself and throw pity parties when you're as much of a dickhead as you are lmao

ok done ranting

Congrats Ippo ily keep going buddy!! It warms my heart to see Takamura, Aoki and Kimura rooting for him and cheering in the stands uwu You can tell the coach is really proud too lol and his ex-bullies really are his number 1 fans now XD OH HOw the tables have turned XDD I hope Ippo's hand heals up nice and he's able to fight again in the upcoming tournament! It was good to see Ishiro all healed and running! I'm glad he's still able to do what he loves. But that weirdo at the end O.o It seems like Ippo's got a big storm comin!

I can't believe this is where I left off when I put this anime on hold years ago. I just binged all 28 episodes so I could properly enjoy Ippo's growth and victories. I don't regret getting back into this anime and hopefully I can finish it before I decide to put it on hold again. This anime is better than I remembered it to be!
@Sylvia_Beau019 ik this episode had some bad writing compared to earlier episodes

Amazing fight , the beauty of series animation really showed here and the whole conclusion was just so memorable, Mashiba really is the most terrifying opponent Ippo faced so far

An amazing conclusion to an amazing fight between two amazing fighters.

Both Ippo and Mashiba have tremendous fighting spirit. I would like to see more of Mashiba he is a talented fighter. Ippo with his injured fist may need to with drawl from the upcoming match. I hope he heals in time i would love to see him fight again soon.

I hope Mashiba heals well.

Loved that Mashida HAD to acknowledge Ippo's victory

hope we can see more of Ozuma in the future, really liked the pov of Ippo's opponents.. Ozuma is definitely my fav

when he said I have to set a new goal and they showed a new girl I was like LMAO, but then writer is not a troll so it turned out like what u would expect off Ippo haha

oh and the guy in the end is kinda creepy, reminded me of that one guy who is obsessed over Ouma in Kengan

He did it! Lord Makunochi did it! The rookie champion! Arguably the best match so far, beating such a fearsome opponent brought a great satisfaction. And our MC avenged his friend Miyata. Appreciation to Mashiba, who did use some nasty moves but boy...he was a beast out there

But this just shows that it's a new beginning and tougher opponents await!

And so sad that our boy went through his first heartbreak, but that's just how life is, isn't it? Although he might not see Kumi Chan again but who knows that the writer might actually be toying with us hehe ><

He won the fight, but won't get the participate due to injuring his hand.

Kumi's all in on her brother's career. His heart is broken and there was another girl on a bike. Ipo will likely move on.

It makes me angry when Ippo says it is fine; he permanently loses his right arm. This is not a world championship. This is for rookies in Japan. Not that serious.

Sad that Ippo will never meet Kumi-chan. It is realistic that Ippo never got the courage to speak his feelings.
