| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Really dislike that high and mighty attitude Yoko has. Wonder how long this moping arc is gonna last... |
 |
| Yohko has such a strong damn point. Joe made Wolf an useless boxer and killed Rikiishi, and now Joe's trying to escape the world of beoxing. Isn't that too coward-ish? |
| The emotions where running quite high in this episode. |
| My heart won't be able to go through 66 more episodes |
| As high and mighty as Yoko acts, she's definitely right here. Completely. |
"Be the change you wish to see in the world." ⛩️  |
| What does she want Joe to do? Seriously. No need to guilt trip. |
| Both Yohko and Joe have points to their arguments honestly. guywholikesanime said: My heart won't be able to go through 66 more episodes I know right. |
 |
| Yoko is right, Joe has to man up already. |
 |
| Yoko has a point, but Joes emotional state is understandable too. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| I can understand how both feel, this is sad. |
 |
| This is how the boxing world is, ruthless and cruel. If a boxer can not fight anymore, they forget him... The press as always taking advantage of anything. This episode was very fast for me, and I liked it a lot. The dialogue between Joe and Yoko also has its meaning... Yoko is certainly right, Joe has permanently injured Wolf Kanagushi and then ""Rikiishi"", so he should carry the weight of their wills, since both had a lot of potential for boxing, but is not taking into account that Joe is going through a serious emotional and sentimental moment. What makes he not to think well. |
| Yoko's such a shithead. Make your points but don't berate and insult the guy while he's down. |
| Bruh fuck Yoko, this bitch really called Joe a baby and said that he deserves to die in a ring. I hate her way more then characters like Malty or the bullies from Elfen Lied, she has a point, but she can't get it across without being such an unlikeable person. |
| 1738 crack that remix dbz amv (18+) |
| This the type of drama that makes you feel uncomfortable and interesting at the same time. Yoko's development up until this point has been remarkable. |
   |
| People are harsh on Yoko's somewhat haughty attitude, but she is still very relevant. Joe can't just mope around and quit boxing like nothing happened. He's not one of them, and he has to live from boxing. |
 |
| I don't think Yoko's right. As usual she's just self-righteous, thinking she's better than others and in a position to judge everyone. Basically what Joe's been saying about her since day one. What's worse is that she's using her standing to manipulate Joe while still pretending to stay morally upright. I can see how people think that she's right, that Joe needs to man up. But no. Joe doesn't owe Rikishi anything. He's dead now, and it's up to Joe to decide how to best move on. He could man up for himself, and he could consider the feelings of others more, which has always been a problem for him. But to keep fighting and die in the ring just because Yoko's grieving? No. She wants to hurt the man who killed her lover (though that was largely implied), and since she can't do it directly, she appeals to ideals of honor, duty and masculinity to manipulate him into getting damaged. If Joe were to listen to her, it would be for all the wrong reasons. Surely Joe is going to return to the ring, but it shouldn't be because of Yoko's reasons. The episode was good in depicting the cruelty of the media and the boxing world already hungry for more blood and sensations. It's an interesting contrast to the juvenile prison. One world for criminals, another one for responsible adults, and yet what is really different is that as long as other people are destroyed while still following the rules of society - or boxing - then it's supposed to be okay. |
| yeah Yohko was being a bitch here |
 |
| Yoko was right Joe gotta take responsibility and face his actions Running and wallowing in pain isn't gonna solve anything -- I actually like this piped-up version of Yohko .. intriguing character development post-Rikiishi death indeed for both characters |
 |
| Strong episode. Yoko brings up some interesting points, what's the point if he just quits right now, she feels like he at least owes Rikiishi and Wolf to a certain extent to keep going Also Yoko obviously doesn't want to see Joe wallow in self pity after she lost Rikiishi ... though to say Joe should die in the ring was too much. |
