So if Mashiba's purpose for beating Kimura was to be built up to be fed to a random gangster guy who is 50/50 on if we'll ever see him in the story again, then it really makes Kimura not winning a Japanese title even more egregious.

Really, the whole "everyone in Japan fails except Takamura" subtle arc that the author's had going on in the background for hundreds of chapters now looks all the more stupid when Japan's produced DOZENS of world champion boxers in the decades since this thing has started and thats not even getting into Inoue becoming a star and top P4P threat amongst anyone who knows anything about boxing. Can Japanese sports manga authors PLEASE break out of this "Brave little underdog Japan" mindset and get into the 21st century with the rest of us.

"Karma..."
"Stronger boxer won..."
Morikawa make up your mind.
Anyways Mashiba is gonna be fine and continue boxing cool...
See y'all next time when I'm right.

Miyata staring at the stage and the foreign champion getting no applause as he leaves must remind him of his own experience fighting in other countries with no one to back him but his team.

Alot of the Japanese boxers keep making excuses for Mashiba losing saying his karma finally came around to bite him, etc. While Takamura was the only one to come out and say that the stronger boxer at the end of the day is the one who won.

MASHIBA EXPLODES!

LITERALLY!!!!!

I was thinking Miyata was considering taking on this guy, but it makes more sense that he's thinking about his own experiences.

I just want to see Ippo fight again. Holyshit. They're obviously building up to it and keep subverting expectations with these fake-ass flags. JUST BRING HIM BACK ALREADY
