I don't think she will go, however I think she might change her mind about Boxing after Mashiba wakes up and they have a long talk. It's absolutely inevitable after Mashiba actually approved of Ippo in his last fightAnd hopefully Kumi fucks off in the distance and never shows up again in the manga. Or she comes back in like 200 chapters, when Ippo has already returned to the ring, and says something like: "Yes I understand that you love boxing and want to be a boxer again, so go for it."
inb4 ippo imitated sendo too much for the spar ricardo got perfect counter strat :vI know it's probably impossible, but wish we can see Ippo sparing with Ricardo next.
For Sendo, Morikawa just gonna make him badly lose and can't continue boxing anymore then retired joining Firefighter like his deceased Father.
Bro gimme some of that copium. Ippo is never gonna box again. The only thing I care about anymore is seeing him hookup with anyone. It could even be Takamura.So.... assuming at this point that Ippo is still the main character, which I'm not so sure anymore...
Sendo is going to fight beautifully but lose. At this point, he is either forced to retire, or decides to. Something has to push Ippo back in the ring, and this might be it. This is my prediction at least.
And hopefully Kumi fucks off in the distance and never shows up again in the manga. Or she comes back in like 200 chapters, when Ippo has already returned to the ring, and says something like: "Yes I understand that you love boxing and want to be a boxer again, so go for it."
And yes I still think we're getting a Ippo vs Miyata match. But the final boss is still Ricardo because I thought from the very beginning that Morikawa wanted to reuse the Date storyline so to speak. Like Date, Ippo had to retire but then return (hopefully) to the ring.
Crowd drawn by an assistant?? Doesn't seem like Morikawa lol
