Hajime no Ippo - Ch. 1481 - Reach!

[LeannaCR]

I was expecting it, you can't realistically have many Japanese world champions, but for fuck's sake

 

[KingsMan12]

Just one word I am going to say:

Bullshyte

I mean, what in the actual motherfvcking fvck? Sure, it was implied that he ran out gas at a long time ago. But Rosario himself is at worse situation at the very same time than Mashiba.
And Mashiba lost like this? Without any last touch to Rosario's face?​

 

[alexYang]

Kimura cursed him.

 

[someone2795]

What the fuck is this.

 

[vermillion]

ARE YOU GODDAMN SERIOUS

 

[nadieseobliga]

And now my whole day is ruined. Hell, maybe my whole week.

 

[guatafat]

I can't believe I'm gonna say this but... At this point I wouldn't even be mad if the manga were cancelled, what the fuck was this

 

[Cidolfas]

Man, even I, the guy who defended the pacing on the first half of the fight as "it'll read fine once it's done the pages/chapter have just dropped low so it feels extra slow", think this fight wound up ~10 chapters too long to end that way. Not satisfying at all after going through it.

 

[Ooweeoo]

I hate this, and I was actually fine with the controversial decisions made before.

It should have been Rosario to drop after that punch was held back deliberately by Mashiba. You know, the guy with horrible stamina because he was lazy.

 

[Specs23]

what was he cooking

 

[Coongoon]

sad!

Right up until his coach jumped in I totally thought it was Mashiba stopping the punch because he noticed Roasario was already KOd on the ropes and the ref was late to notice.

 

[BobOdenkirk]

I'm not mad that the fight ends like this, but I am furious about the execution. It did not need to be stretched out like this.

 

[R2D2TS]

Thanks for the chapter.

 

[ghostkun]

Hmm, I'm okay with it. I am looking forward to seeing a breakdown of where or how it fell apart for Mashiba. Right now, it feels a little jarring because he seemed OKAY up to this point. There wasn't a lot of signs that he was in deep shit, maybe partially because he's one of the least expressive boxers in the manga.

Compared to um... let's say Date vs Ricardo. You could see the guy was basically dying and you could totally buy into him falling short despite hitting the master plan. I think it's like the other guy said, the execution is suspect. But, I'll wait for the follow up chapters to reserve judgement.

You know Hajime no Ippo is not the same manga it was in yesteryear but, it is something to see so many people still so invested in it to this day.

 

[kiero13]

NO NO NOOOOOOOOO

 

[pip25]

...what

 

[AtlasBR]

what the hell, i felt rosario got completely plummeled the whole fight, this felt so cheap

Also, George dropped his tortillas all over the chapter, clean it up next time

 

[Beastkun]

aint no way..........................

 

[Amariithynar]

Right up until his coach jumped in I totally thought it was Mashiba stopping the punch because he noticed Roasario was already KOd on the ropes and the ref was late to notice.

...If George has the refs go and reverse the decision because Mashiba fainted after Rosario was already out, I'm gonna angry laugh.
