Hajime no Ippo - Ch. 1491 - Immovable

[SMAXZO]

Cue Sendo losing so bad he's forced to retire...just like Mashiba.

That's a jobber line

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...

Ricardo's quite old and looking to retire. It's like Miyata having massive issues with weight control and needing to move up a weight class. These matches shouldn't ever happen and if they do I don't feel that they'd actually be at their best.
Besides Sendo isn't the type to "pass the baton" to anyone. He wants his rematch with Ippo himself. If he can somehow defeat Ricardo then he's really setting himself up for another round with Ippo.

Alternatively, Sendo goes the distance and it somehow becomes a draw. Ricardo retires, his legacy preserved but ultimately not that challenged by Sendo. Then if Ippo and Sendo happens again, he might spar with Ippo for his preparation and get interested in coming out of retirement for one final match. Honestly though, from what we've seen, he basically pays no attention to fighters he isn't going to fight so this is all beyond wishful thinking.

So I'd say he has a shot. If Sendo doesn't get that belt though, I guess we'll see him get a ring and propose in front of his grandma while his face is all swollen from the fight. That's the foreshadowing I'm getting from this chapter.

With a flag that big, Sendo’s gonna die before Granny does

 

[Xhyra]

Damn son, Granny told him to go home and be a family man

"Don't be like Ippo. Have sex"
Based grandma

 

[Jachinz]

I dunno about ya'll but I'm excited to see how Morikawa will have Sendo job in his match.
We all know its gonna happen might as well find some enjoyment in it.
Granny you ain't getting anything but Sendo in a bodybag.

 

[windfang]

That like every grandma would think,they want to see grandkid and not a champion belt..

 

[guatafat]

Well, if Sendo loses, at least she has a girl, he could retire after this fight and build a family to make her grandma happy

 

[Fireboy]

Ippo needs it more for fun times with Miyata

 

[Fa-271]

ippo crushing on miyata will never not be funny to me especially with him and kumi going through a rough patch atm. it almost feels like mori knows what hes doing with that

also the sendo x his-teacher-that-i-forgot-the-name-of ship felt weird when it was introduced but now that i think about it bro is in his late 20s atp so its actually totally fine

 

[chusetto]

Morikawa be like "No fucking romance in my manga, don't try it" xD

 

[rudezki]

I will kill myself if sendo loses

Oh no, please don't do anything rash, because he will lose 100%

 

[pepperonimadness]

Ippo Y U so gae....

 

[roshu6984]

I will kill myself if sendo loses

Don't beat grandma to the punch

 

[Ven86]

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.

Pretty sure it's his teacher

 

[Wyou]
