Did you guys notice? On page 4, the eyes of Miyata behind the sunglasses?
In the end, Miyata is the BIGGEST Ippo fanboy EVER.
... and Ippo is the biggest Miyata fanboy ever.
As for the match, Sendo will lose for sure after this foreshadowing of the baton. We all know Morikawa wants it to be Ippo at the end, I just question the pacing...
Hooboy. I don't like that baton handoff metaphor one damn bit. This feels like Sendo's loss is going to be agonizingly close. All so Ippo can take that baton and beat Ricardo with it.
Morikawa please let Sendo win, it'd be a nice twist to have him become the new champ and then progressively get stronger and more intimidating from there, make him the new last boss.
Dawg if this is gonna be another ‘important family member dies after match loss’, ngl I’m gonna be so bummed 😭 Also ippo and miyata being so gay for one another when the grandma is matching sendo, crazy work of a chapter
I don't remember that girl. My first instinct was that it was Itagaki's sister but I don't think she and Sendo have ever interacted, plus she had a crush on Ippo last I remember.
