Hajime no Ippo - Ch. 1442 - Where the Flames Go

[MangaDex]

 

[Mirazu]

Literally phones and laptop... I know laptops exists in 90s... but damn, it's literally modern.

lol kimura

 

[Xxjuggernaut]

Always a joy to read George shitpost chapters

 

[Cidolfas]

... Takamura has friends?

 

[MilkDrinker]

What the hell happened that the chapter transitioned from twitter trolling to a steamy mushroom hotpot penile party

 

[KajurN]

That seems a lot of fun

 

[NezzKind]

Hopefully, they go back to boxing soon. These chapters about characters playing with social media and twidder/urks is easily the most skippable parts in Ippo's rehab arc.

Thanks for the translation

Manga-ka: "I'll take a break and write some filler chapters that dont affect anything."

introduces smartphones and social media in the 90s, then adds a bunch of random characters without explaining anything.

 

[YellowVortex]

In Detective Conan/Case Closed they do the same thing. Whereas in the earlier chapters you see the characters use flip-phones, landlines etc. and in the newer chapters they started using smartphones.

I don't think that is a bad thing as the technological advancements do not impact the story. I would even say it's fine in order to stay topical even though these last few chapters were pretty big misses.

Why people can't understand that this is a ride, a journey, and enjoy those "filler" chapters, some of you didn't read that kenguru fight ongoing, you can't imagine what true "filler" feels like
Thanks for translation!

 

[IronMace1990]

Those Itagaki Family puns again...

 

[Dysisa]

Real ones know that Itagaki's dad is the true best character. Any chapter he's in is a good chapter.

 

[ShikiAlter]

Actually all this it isn't filler to begin with... if it is the original making this way is official and cannon. Anything outside of mangaka story yes is filler. So if they animate this and add extra stuff that isn't on the manga then will be filler.

Like Big_Boss said just enjoy the ride, it is part of the adventure, can't be all just fight, train, fight, train, there is also the part of character growth e socialize. Although I understand the frustration. He keep teasing us and he might die even before the manga finish or having Ippo back to action xD

...who are the guys doing data analysis again? And who are these guys eating with Takamura?

 

[Belkin]

Damn morikawa did the homeless dude dirty 😂

 

[MarchtheBurg]

...who are the guys doing data analysis again? And who are these guys eating with Takamura?

Data analysis: Aoki's lackeys; two students that hang around the gym a lot.

Guys hanging with Takamura: Itagaki's dad and a hobo that frequents the usual boxing hall. Takamura hangs out with both occasionally, but never together before.

what random characters? everybody in this chapter has been in the story

 

[Makenai]

I really like the humour in this manga and the free time the characters get between the fights. I think this is what makes this series work.
However, these last two chapters were weak to me. Suddenly bringing the series into the modern era was weird. I really want to know how it came to be. Did they forgot about the timeline and then the editor decided to just go with it and write a gag around it or what was the intention? At first I thought it's to make Itagaki leak the fight and to make Rosario see it / showing the world Ippo is atill going strong bit that wasn't the case. Well, guess I have to wait and see.

It's a floating timeline now https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floating_timeline

The actual time period the story takes place in has never been super important so I think it's fine.
