That's a freaking squad. Rank 1, 3, and 6 chimera hunters, plus 2 chimera hybrids with human intelligence--1 who is a trained hunter and beat the Rank 2 hunter.
I kind of dig the dynamic of this match; it's such an interesting inversion of the typical shonen sports formula. Basically the main characters are OP and it's all about the opponents rising up to match them.
Ippo is wildly strong now. He seems both faster and stronger. He's further refined the Dempsey Roll. He's developing a counter punch. Now he's developing ambidexterity. I think the accumulated damage needs to be there so he has a clear weakness. Yeah his offensive bag is bananas, but that might...
So...he's basically Kuroko from Kuroko No Basket but with a fiery temper instead of being super mellow and the team's Ace is his older brother who he actually gets along poorly with.
