Damn Takamura can't you be a little bit more hopeful for your little bro or are you jealous Coach has his attention on his younger kid

 

[Furosukki]

Takamura shut your goofy ass up for once

 

[OwUmbreon]

People are reaming Takamura for his take but honestly, as Ippo is, I agree with him. Regardless of his upgraded techniques or better muscles, he has yet to cross that line and enter the world of, well, worlds. Both physically and mentally, he's still standing behind that line and lacks the ambition and motivation to step over it.
