| A bit rushed, but the final was amazing! |
| "Even villains have standards" -Accelerator-  |
| :( Shattered the ribs and ribs pierce through his organs i think he wont survive it with they're not modern doctors and medicine |
| One of the best finales I've seen in a very long time! This last arc was amazing! |
| Oh damn I was late finishing this but... better than never. Wow the old geezer punches back then really was something! At the cost of wrecking his fists though. X( So that was the half-fulfilled promise? Ippo has a lot of expectations to fulfill then. Forget about Masaru! LOL Nekota still gets to me. XD Still 8/10 for me. |
| You see there's no need to wonder where your god is, Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy. |
| This arc is the best story in the entire Ippo series. It wasn't as repetitive as the others. |
| That was sick. Can't wait for the next season! |
| Amazing experience, Hajime no Ippo thought many things to people including myself and it's the most said phrase in existence if anything. --"Don't give up". It's rare seeing a series not getting boring after seasons pass and maintains fresh still. "A boxer's fist carries the strength of others that support those fists"-- Here's to the fourth season! |
| I heard that the manga is still going.. Where can I continue from the anime? What chapter? I would really like some help here. |
 Woop Woop! |
| Pretty lovely ending to this background story and well I do wonder when and how Ippo will continue with next! This season sure was great it had some really interesting matches and also great character development with a nice portion of humor so I'm certainly looking forward for the future seasons! |
 |
| holy fucking KO punch... takamura match + this last arc = win 8.5/10 |
 |
| What a fantastic final arc to the season, and maybe, the anime as a whole (but I'm sure we'll see a new season someday). <3 |
I have my own anime blog. It's called Anime Viking. Hope you'll you read it! |
JESUS AND TO THINK THAT THIS ENDED AT CHAPTER 558 WHILE THE LAST CHAPTER OUT WAS 1075 (4 days ago). https://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=812 YYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSS MMMMMMMY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHH THAT WAS URMURZNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNG This is eXACTly what I was waiting for in Takamura's match. This ended up being much better than Takamura's rage over a weaker eagle. SHEEEEEEEEIT THAT WAS SOME RAINBOW SHIT DAWWWG. AMAZING. BEST motherfucking season of Hajime no Ippo. This has all the emotion that S1 didn't have. |
| That was a great season of Ippo. I was initially questioning the final flashback arc involving Genji and Nekota but its display and range of emotions was absolutely spectacular especially in this final episode. I loved ending this season with a slightly different type of boxing story than we're used to. I should learn by now that Madhouse (almost) never fails to deliver. In the future, I do hope to see some hints about Yuki-chan and Nekota's life in the mountains after they left. Now, the wait is on for more Ippo. Hopefully it's only a couple years... |
 |
| I shed a tear, this is a very rare occasion, last time this happened was during a certain scene in Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood. |

| Ahhhhhh. The Genji/Nekota arc was fantastic. I would have loved this entire series if it was just about them and the girl too. I cried when Genji and the girl separated on the train. That was the fourth time this series made me cry. Also, Miyano Mamoruuuuuuuuuu oh yes. Perfection. I feel like the Genji/Nekota arc should have been near the start of the entire show. Would have made Takamura's world belts more impactful. Anyway, Takamura vs. David was fun to watch. Ippo vs. the guy (I forgot his name but he really loved meat) was interesting too. Miyata vs. the other guy (I forgot his name too) was great. Yeah this was a nice season. So, I'm done all the Hajime no Ippo anime seasons! It was fun, although not my favourite sports anime. Should I read it? Hmm, decisions decisions.. Favourite characters: Sendo (my favourite Osaka boy), Miyata (hnnnng), and Takamura (although it's a hate/love thing yo)! |

| The last two punches were jaw dropping. |
 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. |
| Gen-chan's fight felt not as awesome as Ippo's or Takamura's. On the end of taking 2nd belt Takamura was comparing Eagle to Ippo's way of fighting and it was freakin cool, but the old days were meh... |
| Season 4 please >_< 9/10 |
  |
| Wow, those body blows. And then the feels at the end (╥﹏╥) One of the best backstories I've watched :) It took me forever to finish this series, but I really hope this gets another season one day! |
| What a way to finish the season! No better fitting way to dedicate the series to Utsumi Kenji (Kamogawa-san) and Nagai Ichiro (Nekota-san). Their voices will live on through millions of fans of this fantastic anime for many, many decades. Loved Miyano Mamoru and Yoshino Hiroyuki voicing the final arc. Hoping to see a sequel. You can never get enough HnI. :) |

| This has easily become my all-time favorite sports anime and one of my overall favorites. It was tough, but I managed to limit myself to five episodes a day for this season. I was initially put off by the idea of a flashback arc and with the darker tone it almost felt like I was watching a different show, however in the end these last few episodes turned out to be my favorite of the season. I am getting a bit annoyed with the pacing of the Ippo-Kumi romance. It's been 127 episodes and two movies equaling about four or five years in the series. I get that they're both tremendously shy and that her brother's frequent cockblocking doesn't help matters, but for there not to have been a confession(that was heard) or a single kiss by now is absurd. Then again, based on Ippo's underreaction to Sawamura nearly breaking her face, maybe he doesn't actually care for her as much as we or even he himself thinks. Pretty bummed that I've finally caught up. I can only hope that the gap between this season and the next isn't as long as the four years between New Challenger and Rising or worse yet, the seven from The Fighting to New Challenger. 9/10 |
| ippo peleo muy bien hasta el final |
 |
| Bone shattering Tekken. :) Poor Yuki. The David eagle fight is not as good as the Bryan Hawk fight. Imo.... |
 |
| Any word on next season? |
| The Ippo series is simply one of the best out there. It's pretty amazing when you stop and think about how it all began and how far both the story and the characters have come. So much greatness! 10/10, Really hope they come out with a 4th season soon. |

MysticPhantom said: sayyy said: Any word on next season? No word just yet, there is a glimmer of hope that it gets announced in the summer for fall/autumn. If not, I'm almost certain we will see a 2017 release Can only hope. One of my favorites. |
| Amazing.... simply amazing. Gonna miss binge watching this show every day. Hopefully a new season gets announced soon, but this definitely has a good finality to it. Time to move on to the manga I guess. Series as a whole would be a 9/10 for me. Had some of the best fights I have ever seen in anime, but also had some boring ones and moments. All in all though, excellent watch. |

| Kamogawa and Nekota were amazing. Also I wonder how Yuki lived the rest of her life. IMO the last four episodes were the highlight of HnI due to its grittiness and emotional themes. |
 |
| Best fight possible to end on. Don't know if there will be another fight in this serious as emotional as that one. 9/10 ps. Mr_Shnb sucks |
 |
| Great flashbacks. 8/10 This was slightly better than New Challenger. RediceRyan said: ps. Mr_Shnb sucks tf? come at me i'll 1v1 ur ass irl m8 |
| That body blow at the end was awesome! Hajime no Ippo is so good at conveying the feeling of power in those punches, it was like that GI's stomach should have exploded. Great way to end the series, definitely looking forward to the next one. |
 |
| The best sports anime I've seen and one of the best animes ever made period. |
 |
| That was ironic I loved that animation it was way too good to be true I was mesmerized. such a good way to end this season Kamogawa was so damn strong even stronger than any other boxer I have ever seen in this series. |
| Damn... I'm awestruck now that I've finally completed Hajime no Ippo anime series. It's gonna be hard to fill up the void building up inside me... The season was alright. It wasn't as good as New Challenger but the spectacular arc of Kamogawa/Nekota's backstory left a great impression me. It's a shame that only Aoki and Ippo got to hear their backstory firsthand haha. When I look back at how it all began, how far we've come together with characters and finally how it made me experience myriad of emotions throughout its journey... I couldn't help and got teary-eyed :') I don't think any season can replace the very first HnI anime which was iconic in every aspect :') Welp, I don't think it'll be getting another anime adaptation anytime soon so I'll be patiently waiting when the time comes. 8/10 |
 |
| Great episode, it was exciting watching Kamogawa destroy the guy's rib. Sad to see he wasn't able to confess his love to Yuki but he was a good guy letting his best friend have her. Hope to see a new season and the fight between Ippo and Miyata |
 |
| Watched the whole series S1-S3 within 2 weeks took me long to finish but it's a fucking great ride. This last arc got me into feels, and every after fight tbh. I'm gonna miss the show and the sequel probably will take long like 2020(?) 10/10 |

Why do we have to live in such a cruel world?  |
| I honestly think that the last episodes were the best in the second and third seasons. I would had been beter of they left this sory and maked it into forth season 12 eps anime in my personal opinion. Over all the second and the third season are not as good as the first one and the movie of Kimura. They feelt like more chesy and light animes (exsept the first word title mach of Takamyra and the afterwar part). |
| Holy mother of shaky cams, that was one brutal K.O.! This was a very touching finale, and it actually works as a finale for the anime as a whole, too. Even though I'll be moving on to the manga now, I still wish for another season (or a movie) of course. This season gets a 7/10 from me, since I enjoyed it thoroughly! |
| Ouch, that must be really hurt.. I can even stand to see it without cringing That was a nice wrapped ending, but still left me unsatisfied :( It's really sad that both Kamogawa and Nekota's seiyuu have passed away :( |
"Signature removed"   |
| This season is downright dogshit. |
