Strap in, my friends, this journey ain't coming to a close anytime soon.

@Dysisa
I'm starting to think this is just a demented bet that Morikawa made with Oda, about who could drag their manga out the longest.

 

[Ironclad]

@Dysisa That fucking hack.

 

[goronyanpai]

Wow, this manga is only halfway from its goal.

 

[Zaldun]

In chapter 554, are some bubbles left empty intentionally, or was this just forgotten? I can imagine what's in them without trouble but seems weird

 

[throughstars]

It really need another season.

 

[UND34D_M4N76]

lol, cover for vol 124 looks like he's some old draft of hulk.

 

[fhq]

Calling it right now, sendo dies and ippo goes back to boxing for revenge.

 

[Justthing]

No. You are not happy as you are, Ippo.

 

[awg1031]

pls bring ippo back to the ring!

 

[Justthing]

He's deluding himself to the fact that he's content with his life as a trainer now but in reality, deep down, he wants to return to the ring. It's where he belongs

 

[JoeKerr]

I just wanted to take a step back and appreciate the fact that Morikawa has been doing this series for over 30 years.

And he doesn't look to be nowhere near finished.

Guys, I think we're at serious risk of Author Existence Failure here.

 

[maisonaustyn]

I'm in dis belief that this series is still going. Guess I have to jump back into it at some point now.

 

[Cecilmcneil]

Just rewatched the anime, so good. I think it's time to see what the manga is all about.

 

[ooogooman]

Ha. I see where Morikawa is going with Shinoda stumbling over the name of the Dragon Fish Blow by reversing it: rather than a left body shot setting up for an overhand, it's going to inspire Kimura to set the body blow up with the overhand. Cute.

 

[ooogooman]

Someone better pick up the phone, because I fuckin' called it.

 

[Cheshyr]

series shpuld have stopped 300 chapters ago.

Spoiler

Well after reading this latest chapter I can pretty much assume Sendo will make it to Gonzales only to lose to him (like Apollo Creed vs. Drago from Rocky 3 funny considering he is Rocky of Naniwa). This will cause Ippo to come back to face Gonzale (this is all a guess).

 

[GodSama]

Probably at least 30 chapters before we see Ippo fighting officially. I bet he ends up a popular sparring partner in Mexico.

 

[Godslayer115]

I just can't wait for ippo to come back and dominate everyone
