| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Joe has done some pretty bad things but what this Wolf prick just did is unacceptable. Beating up little kids because they were spying on you and stuffing their unconscious bodies in a car's trunk? That's just fucked up. Hope Joe kicks his ass real good. |
 |
| Firstly, Ashita No Joe is the first anime that transformed the hate into love for just an episode. I thought the kids were real annoying and stupid to do that, I ws really going too far and thought that the author was implying the the brats would play an important role to the match between Joe and this prick called Wolf. But no, that was a great set up for the match, I hope Joe kicks this guy's ass, I fucking hate him. |
| While I feel bad for the kids, I still can't see how they are supposed to be likable in any way. |
 |
| That mission Impossible music outta nowhere. |
linkjoker said: That mission Impossible music outta nowhere. I was like, no way they're going to bust out with that but they totally did. Beating up Joe's squad = basically the spark, the red flag, Popeye's big can o' spinach Take him down Yabuki (ง •̀_•́)ง |
  |
| They really did bust out that music. I laughed just cuz of that, haha. I love how they showed up covered in bruises. Truly intimidating. |

Toarujisuru said: I love how they showed up covered in bruises. Truly intimidating. That was a great moment. I have to say though, sometimes I feel like this show's pacing is a little bit too fast. Going straight from Wolf returning the kids to the beginning of the fight? Seems pretty rushed if you ask me. At the same time though, I'm hyped for the fight that's about to take place. |
| Beating on kids? how noble of you Wolf, he sure is proving to be pathetic so far. |
 |
| Wolf was despicable, even if they tried spying him, a man doesn't beat someone weaker than him. Joe is gonna destroy him! |
 |
| Did a pro boxer really beat up a bunch of kids? Wolf is the worst kind of trash. I think Wolfs announcement that he's gonna throw out a left straight, makes it more likely that he's indeed a Switch Hitter. But why are Joe and the others covered with bruises, tho, did he spar with Danpei and Nishi at the same time to get used to attacks from both sides ? |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Wolf went too far there, but the kids definitely shouldn't have gone to spy his training. I'm super hyped for Joe vs Wolf, looks like Joe trained really hard, he, Nishi and Danpei are all bruised, woah. |
 |
| Mission Impossible? Wow, that really cements Ashita no Joe's time of creation. The original Mission Impossible televisions series is from 1966, while Ashita no Joe was made between 1970-1971. Interesting stuff. Also, I think this is the real first time that Joe is fighting for someone other than himself. This is...really different. |
| Seems children´s right didn´t mean sh*t back then |
| :v |

| Hahaha that mission's imposible song with the kids, but come on, why the Wolf has to hit the guys, they are kids, and now the battle between Joe and Kanagushi is gonna be something personal. Joe, plz. |
| Looks like Joe is going to counter the counter of cross counter :o |
 |
| Wolf beating up little kids was poor storytelling. It turned him into a cartoon villain, too evil to be credible, and moreover it took away the tension from the boxing match, because after this there's no way that Joe could lose. Overall I feel that the quality of the series has dipped since Joe became a pro, largely because it's not about character development anymore. Instead the series is about Joe's rise to the top, and so far it's following a typical sports anime formula in which the protagonist really can't lose, and if for a moment things look difficult, he'll prevail because willpower can overcome any obstacle, even if it should be physically impossible to rise again after being beaten senseless. |
| I'm glad Joe found some real motivation to push him to practice and get seriously ready for the match. Can't wait for |
 |
| that was a hell of a cliffhanger... brb, watching the next episode |
| fuck Wolf, all my homies hate Wolf |
 |
| Everyone kicking off about the kids getting beaten up being "cartoonish" when this is literally a cartoon. |
| Damn, Wolf really sending everyone to infirmary. But that is deplorable. Why would you beat children? Geez. And that end ⊙_⊙ Holy shit, seems like they did a really rough training there. Really excited for this intense fight! |
