Well for starters we're back to peak fighting mode form...

Also there's a weird grining vampire zombie watching the fight.

 

[Arcalet]

Great punchs :>D

 

[Big_Boss]

Thanks for translation!

Awesome chapter, tons of incredible exchanges, and some super high level defense. Really sweet paneling too with the punches breaking the frame.

I wonder if Toriyama's death had an effect on Morikawa. Like for him to take care of his health better now that hes pushing 60. More breaks and and maybe shorter chapters. Nothing wrong with that since its unreasonable to expect him to pump out as much as younger mangaka, just hope he manages to finish before he reaches his twilight years

Now this was a great chapter, I don't mind having to wait 2 weeks if it pays off like this

 

[PorroManiac]

It was really good but it's starting to scare me he's taking so many breaks lately. Please George, hire more assistants if necessary and take care of yourself.

"that's unfair" now look at my creepy hair 🤢

Thanks for the Scan.

Thanks for the translation! This chapter was great, the art was so clean.

With the bouncing chapter lengths over the years, I half expected the chapter to end at "that's unfair". I'm glad I was wrong.

Already lost my hope for Ippo's comeback, but at least I hope Morikawa-sensei still manage for Sendo's world tittle match

thank god for that spar against ippo, rosario clearly shaken mashiba able to keep his foot on the outside

 

[Fireboy]

maybe shorter chapters

any shorter and this will end up as a single page twitter comic

 

[codetaku]

Takamura is praising the fight, that's so cute lol. The only other time he treated a world champion below his own weight class that seriously is Ricardo Martinez himself.

 

[ACEG]

Now see, I don't mind a break if it leads to chapters like this.

And yes with Toriyama's passing I think most of us are okay with Morikawa taking breaks, it's the 2 week breaks after 5-8 page chapters that get people annoyed.

 

[ghostkun]

Oh, crap, was that Sawamura all Frankenstein'd up? The Owari Dragon himself? Damn.... it's been a while. He was a bad dude, but it was one of the more memorable arcs when he fought Ippo. Good to see the guy.

 

[BusWindow]

Damn this chapter was 🔥

Thanks for the TL!
