Big fan of how not a single person here thinks mashiba can win this spar

My god ippo youre supposed to help mashiba. At this rate youre gonna kill him

Even if they lose again progress is progress. Riboku is gonna run out of generals eventually. Also im starting to think han will be an offscreen battle

Not only is ippo dense, he has a huge habit of underselling himself. He could be in the same weight class as mashiba and not be retired, and he still wouldnt think hes a worthy sparring partner. And yeah i agree that not being a southpaw isnt that much of an issue for him considering his style...

Really emphasizing how unhealthy ryo's devotion to kumi is for both of them. He centered his entire early adult life around this idea of being the protective brother to the point where neither of them can feel like theyre truly living out their lives to the fullest. Im not expecting a lot of...

even though i greatly mourn the loss of my boy who ive only known for like 5 chapters, i do see a lot of importance in this little arc. It gave Shin a way to internalize his feelings about the whole kanki deal. Han getting discovered to be spying on Qin is a good segue-way into them gunning for...

Im so confused about the stance the story takes on qin's conquest campaign because sometimes you will have really nuanced moments like this one or like all the kanki stuff... And other times you will have the kings of the other states eating babies from a big silver plate

Starting to grow a little more appreciative of the post retirement part of the manga. All the exciting stuff is happening to everyone except ippo because thats how it should feel. Its meant to feel a little rrustrating because thats tge experience both ippo and his fans are going through. And...

Its a little disappointing that we're giving up on zhao for now but i guess i cant really see how the story will continue after riboku falls since hes been the ultimate opponent pretty much since the war section of the manga started

Ippo has passed the perioheral vision test. He wont be blindsided anymore. Time for the comeback

Man these depictions of zhao royalty are getting too on the nose. If i didnt know better id suspect the author is secretly a qin citizen doing propaganda lol

That specific kanki line shin thought of... Are these crazy motherfuckers actually gonna try to turn this into a win?

If there was a big event that made ippo come back... I think (or rather hope) its takamura finally losing or having to retire. Its probably gonna be miyata-related though. Like "if you box again i will fight you right then and there as your comeback match" ... Speaking of, miyata has zero...

I love how kanki roasted riboku before dying. He's right. Riboku may be a genius, but he is subject to a fickle state that just lets people suffer. Kanki and sei may have their own issues, but at least theyre trying to do meaningful change in the world that transcends their own selves. Riboku is...

Im still so mixed feelings about ippo coming back because on the one hand, hell yeah! on the other hand... well... i just keep thinking of that collab illustration with ashita no joe... not a good omen

I really dont think sendo can pull it off with his current skill, but i would be pretty funny if he won and then fought ippo for the third time
