Get back in here for another Discussion on Hajime no Ippo’s latest chapters. We have some pretty interesting things to talk about.

A Tigers Battle Cry !!



Oh yea be sure to go give some love to this (Amazing Website) full of things you didn’t know ya needed.

In Chapter 1276 we got another reminder on the how much impact Ippo has left on his Hometown.

To know that he went from a young kid who a majority of his early life he was being bullied and would always be alone, to seeing him become the star of his class reunion many years later makes you feel good.

He’s a man who was once fighting in front of Thousands of cheering fans whom of which would all come out specifically to just see him do what he does best. The Former Japanese Champion

We were also reintroduced to a girl who actually made an appearance in the beginning of the series. And of coarse it Turns out Ippo is no different than many of us.

I’m sure Many of us could relate to when you’ve left a school graduated or etc. months or years down the line someone just randomly confesses to having had a Big crush on you during those school years. And you’re just left feeling confused and slightly irritated that you’re only finding out now that’s it’s too late.

Maybe she’s bad luck, she’s only been to fights he’s lost.

Now The woman in Ippo’s case has the name of Aikawa. it’s yet Another fangirl who Ippo could stash away in case things don’t work out with Kumi. (Joking of coarse) although I personally don’t like Kumi but I guess she’s popular.

we were almost led to believe that Ippo would cheat on or at least he flirted with the that thought when Aikawa-kun questioned if he were single or not and he refused to give an answer. our answers regarding him going down that path was seemingly answered when he approached that certain fateful tree and he dropped the slip of paper he had received from Aikawa.

He dropped that note and put his attention back on boxing in this moment. he doesn’t need useless distractions such as her to get in the way of his journey to find the answer he’s been yearning for.

Chapter 1277 news of what happened in Mexico have finally made it’s way back to Japan !

But before that we got to see how the Young Disciples of Ippo would do for their first real sparring experience with visiting the gym of the former world Champ Date. If you’re familiar with sparring or boxing in general, you’d know that when you visit another persons gym for sparring it’s basically going to end up being a real fight . the person usually has real no connection to you whatsoever so they aren’t pulling any punches in their exchanges.

there really isn’t much to talk about when it comes to the young boys as they were soundly beaten down by two experienced amateur fighters one of which being the son of Date, Yuji.

Ippo and everyone finally received the newspaper showing and telling the incident that happened in Mexico involving Sendo and The Mexican super Champion. we figured out what really happened in the spar between Sendo and Ricardo, when the Champ was seemingly knocked down.

like many of us had speculated, the two fighters may have had a dual exchange in which sendo was able to counter martinez just as he was getting hit himself. what we didn’t know was that sendo as well was knocked to the canvas after their exchange. (It is still possible that rather than a dual exchange, they could’ve tripped on each other and fell)

Once again someone called out Ippo for his self enforced retirement. they made a point to make note that he was not medically forced to quit boxing. He promised yuji that he would avenge his father and Yuji asked him when would he ever make good on that promise he made.

I want people to call Ippo out for his decision, men who he beat are seemingly pushing ahead further and further while he stands at a stand still in his mental confusion. I can understand his doubts and fears but he has to push through this rut and find the answer he’s been looking for since his journey began many years ago.
