>SendoWhat a fucking joke lmao
I can't believe Sendo's fucking dead...
AYAAAAAIII GRANDMA SAVE ME
>>281948359too...strong...?
>>281948440KWAB
>>281948491N-
>>281948359No way Sendo is becoming a pussy now...
>>281948578THE PUSSY OF OSAKA
Grandma just wants you to CUM in your HOT TEACHER you DUMB FUCK
FinI can't believe it's over for our based retard
>Jack losing like a bitch>Sendo losing like a bitch>Kuroki about to become boat tierWhat a terrible week to have eyes
>>281948689>Not even able to throw jobbing hexes towards Ricardo,It seems Sendo was too green to step into the ring
>>281948689He's going to try to do the Dempsey roll isn't he?
>>281948689My fakkin hero...at his lowest...
this is officially a humiliation ritual
>>281948850He already hexed him by calling him too strongIt might take a couple months, but victory is guaranteed
>>281949020We knew it would be one, but didn't expect things to go this bad.
>>281948633Literally Wally with the love taps.
>>281948720>>281948689It's blatantly obvious that Sendo is about to arrive at transcendence and win by TKO - Ricardo's arm breaks and he can't continue.
>>281948540>Wtf, I am throwing my biggest, slowest spin punches and he counters me >Is this the WORLD level?
I feel sorry for grandma
>>281948578A visual representation of what Morikawa thinks about Jap boxing compared to world stage. He is such a pessimist. Why even bother writing a boxing manga at this point?
>>281949229He will lose but pave the way for Ippo to win>Ricardo-san left is just too strong...>But isn't there a tiny gap when he does "that"?>I am the only one seeing this? Am I missing something >I were to step on the ring...
>>281948689I've never seen Sendo that mind broken
Looking forward to ippo just jumping in as a second to give sendo a second wind and having Ricardo think>Dempsey roll boy... Just by coming here you gave him so much oxygen>What would happen if we were to cross fists again... My expectations desu....
>>281948663Rare Ricardo jobber talk
>>281948359Oh no...Ricardo is too strong, that's why he's going to lose!
>>281948689This is turning into Vegeta vs Frieza. He's gonna break Sendo's spirit.
>>281948600>But ya can keep going!Good. A true Japanese coach never gets in the way of his boxer achieving an honorable death in the ring.
>>281948578Sendo the "Mexican killer" meeting his match.
>>281948689>broke Sendo in TWO roundsWhat the fuck? How's he so strong
>>281948600Typical Jap coach. No wonder 2 Jap boxers died in the same card this year.
I want sendo not only to die like a bitch but for morikawa to recreate the cancer kid episode from south park with the grandma and then the hot teacher goes to fuck an ugly bastard (me).
Sendo got buck broken in an unprecedented amount of timeMartinez truly is the gook slayer
Sendo still has to throw his modified smash (the one he hit Takamura with) and Morikawa has to explain what really happened at Sendo x Martinez's spar.Ippo is probably going to say something to Sendo which will motivate him
>>281950582>Martinez truly is the gook slayerSendo isn't Korean.
>>281949229>win by TKOI don't think Sendo would like that...
>>281948578You vs The guy she tells you not to worry about
>slow painful defeat where sendo will see a glimpse of ricardo's weakness which will be used by ippo in 25 years once he gets back to the ring
>>281951154martinez will retire before ippo gets to fight him
>>281948578
>>281951183right, I forgot that might happen
So... I haven't read Ashita no Joe yet, but some people are saying this has been similar to Joe's last fight. Has anyone here read it?
What are the odds of George losing his mind and bulllshiting a win for Sendo?
>>2819514641%
>>281951445it seems too early to conclude something like that
>>281948578Sendogs................
>>281948416>>281948440TOTALSENDNIGGERDEATH
>>281951501Yeah, but Sendo was clearly based on Joe. I just don't know if Morikawa will have the balls to let him die
>>281951865No way he's doing that when his grandmother is also on her death bed
>>281948689>getting beaten down until you have to cower like an absolute pussy in front of the entire world, your rivals, your hot teacher girlfriend, and grandmaI don't like saying this but this has to be a genuine humiliation ritual
More like the Naniwa Pussy
>>281951891People would have said the same about him turning Mashiba into a vegetable desu
I'm fucking CACKLING, WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS FACE
>>281953782How do you go from this to thatBoth are faces he did when being beat down
>>281953811Obviously Ippo lacks that zesty Mexican hot sauce
>>281953782>School Bully Not So Tough Since Being Molested
>>281953782>This is someone's heroKwab
>>281953811He had a chance back then, now Chadcardo is raping him in national tv and both his granny and rapist teacher are watching it.
Why did George make Ricardo look like he belongs in a romance novel
>>281948689this is bullshit
>New chapter to one of the longest ongoing manga>No one caresHow did we get here?
>>281948578There was a middleweight Japanese world champion at one point. He lost his title in his very next match and got an eye injury that forced him to retire. Anyone else do better than that?
>>281955274>>No one caresis just the execution of sendo, we all expected that
>>281948689>>281948663All he's doing is the exact same thing he's always been doing. What is he so disappointed about? Nothing Sendo could do would work no matter what.
>>281951865But Sendo doesn't even act like Joe.
>>281955437blocks punches with his face just like joe yabuki
>>281955653Joe doesn't do that, he's a counter puncher. Ippo does though.
>>281955694he did that in his rikiishi fight
>>281948440Expected, doesn't make it any less pathetic, though.
>>281956073He was trying to dodge Rikiishi though.
>>281949369>>281949369It will never be the Golden 60s ever again. In the last decade the best Japan's had is Takayama, a mini flyweight. Ippo himself is a featherweight, as is Sendo. There's no hope for Japan in boxing. Hajime no Ippo didn't inspire the next Takeshi Fuji or Koichi Wajima.
Sendo just needs more oxygen
>>281948689Peek a boo style?
>>281950742>Morikawa has to explain what really happened at Sendo x Martinez's spar.Already explained a few chapters ago. Sendo punched, extended his thumb on a whim, and grazed Ricardo which made him lose his balance.
>>281956388>There's no hope for Japan in boxingWhat's with this loser talk? Not like Mexico is exactly brimming with champions.
What's with these coaches? It's all about keep going rather than "can you win?" if he can't win there's no point in getting unesscary injuries that could potentially be career ending, if they kenw him well enough they could tell he can't win this fight, the look on his face says it all, he's not looking like that just because he got rocked he's llooking like that because he knows even if he were in tip top shape his opponent's skill level is too far beyond his to try and will power through this. is this a boxing thing or are coaches across the sports world like this with their students?
>>281956940It's the exact same with the referees. It doesn't matter if they cheat, they won't point it out. The opponent could throw kung fu kicks, bring a weapon into the ring or start juicing on the spot, it doesn't matter. The concept of cheating doesn't exist and neither does being too injured to continue.
>>281948491>Saved by the bellHey I watched that show as a kid.>>281948689>First Mashiba gets actual brain damage on top of losing his match >Now Sendo has been humbled and mind brokenAt least Volg is safe.
>>281956388How exactly was old Japanese boxing scene better? Genuine question. Even a casua like me knows there's a dude called Naoya Inoue who's the current undisputed champion in his weight class. Was there a greater height achieved in the past?
>>281956940>is this a boxing thing or are coaches across the sports world like this with their students?Technically this is at the "world level" so Sendo's coach should be smarter than this, but at lower levels? It's not uncommon for coaches to push their fighters/players as hard as possible because the coach is living vicariously through the athlete.
>>281957420It's like how Americans compare every boxer to Ali. The Japanese praise Harada. For most of them, there hasn't been a boxer like him since he retired. The Americans at least had Tyson.
What is the difference between minor, major and world circuits? Can a major not fight a minor, or a world fight a major? What changes in rules and what they're allowed to set up?
>>281956388what about Inoue?
>>281954621Hajime no ippo is a manga about the romanticization of Boxing.
>>281955302Thats who Takamura is based on
>>281948359>>281948416>>281948440>>281948689seeing sendo eat some humble pie is really satisfying. I really hope he'll lose and doesn't pull some bs to get a win.
>>281957645Inoue, Hiraoka, and Nakatani look godly on paper. They'd also get blown away by a strong wind due to their weight classes. The thing with weight classes is that even though they are genuinely amazing at what they're doing, it's not inspiring. There's no Ippo or Takamura coming out of Japan. Meanwhile, Mexico has Espinoza and Alvarez, respectively.Japan's boxing champions today are all less than 125lbs, and that's just depressing.
>>281957534>Tyson.holyfield was better than the convicted rapist
>>281957856If Sendo pulls a victory out of his ass, then George will have officially given up on the manga
>>281957901It's not about being better it's about whose on camera more and Tyson turned himself in to a brand so strong even being a rapist and a woman beater didn't kill his careeer people love him even now, just like Chris Brown, P.diddy, Trump himself and several popular celebraties and politicians , doing horrible stuff doesn't mean shit to people because people as a whole don't have morals only what affects me personally
>>281957993>Trump mentioned out of nowhereMindbroken
>>281951183That's the weakness.
>>281957993usa is a hypocrite countrymaywheather is not beloved like tyson
>>281951183It actually would be insanely comical if Sendo lost to Ricardo, but Sendo managed to damage his arm enough that it forces him to retire, meaning that Ippo never had the chance to fight him for real
>>281957858That's just a hipster's complaint against the mainstream. Baseball's several times more popular in Japan, so it stands to reason they managed to produce Suzuki, and now Ohtani (6' 3", a giant by Japanese standards). How many rugby stars or cricket stars come from USA? The next 6 feet tall, 90kg+ super star athletic specimen from Japan will probably be a soccer player, but that's just how their sports rank in popularity. The universe is balanced.
>>281948603>CUM in your HOT TEACHER
>>281948689This sucks, can we get back to Umezawa awesome mangaka adventure?
>>281948285>When you find out your pilot is named Ranjesh
>>281948518>talking him up like it’s impressive that he didn’t crumple
>>281953782It’s desperation.
>>281959480Ranjesh is a Hindi name, not an Arabic one.
I thought this arc would be Sendo going out in a blaze of glory before being killed by Ricardo.I never thought it would be Ricardo bullying Sendo so bad Sendo kills himself after the match is over.
>>281949369>this manga is turning into the boomer boxing enthusiast equivalent of a doomer spiralFascinating. I wonder if he’s going to draw Kamogawa committing suicide.
>>281948491No, this is wrong. If a fighter is hit into the ropes and the ropes hold him up it is still technically a knockdown and the ref should have called it as such.
>>281949369They still got Naoya Inoue and Junto Nakatani is the next big thing. But maybe the two dead Japanese fighters recently are on his mind.
>>281960793This is the 90's at this point. Would that rule be in effect?
>>281948263>1502What the fuck. Where is this being uploaded now? I thought it was on comick but thats still on 1497.
>>281951464Morikawa already lost his mind, do you not see his twitter? He mass replies to haters with some waving emote. And other pictures with text. The Anti-AI people broke him I think
>>281960922Not like this...
Ricardo "Jap Killer" MartinezRicardo "Two Bombs" Martinez
>>281953782>WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS FACEIt's the "Oh shit I can't unga bunga this, I need to box where are my cliff notes">>281955302Ryota Murata was 2 time WBA (regular) champion>>281956940If this wasn't a title fight maybe the coach would pull the plug. But it IS for a title fight, so bite down and dig deep because you might never get another chance. The title belt is the difference. >>281957858The main problem is sparring. Japan does not have the talent pool to support an elite fighter at featherweight or above. If they did want proper sparring at that weight they'd have to have camps in America and that's a long way to travel for sparring, especially if you don't have a fight coming up and you have to cover costs yourself.
>>281960988its really fascinating, morikawa defends ai use as a potential tool and sometimes even praises how the output of ai is creating new art that mangaka could use to continue series long after the original creators death, but the second someone threatened to create hajime no ippo panels with ai he lost his shit and called it illegal. he also beefs with large hentai mangaka who are anti-AI and they talk shit and block eachother all the time.
>>281961170full on senile old man on facebook mode, grim
>>281957856He will lose, but less pathetic than this
>>281961170You know the joke about how Japanese women don't age a day between 20 and 49, then at 50 they immediately go obaa-mode? I wonder if there will ever be a joke for Japanese men where they remain sane until 49, then at 50 immediately become senile and start shouting at everything.
The fight will be a draw and will show ippo that ricardo is not invincible + ricardo will be slower due to the damage received by sendo and aging. Sendo will retire after this fight though, thats a given.
>>281960845They have smartphones and some kind of twitter equivalent so it shouldn't be the 90s anymore.. right?
>>281961540sliding timelineits officially like 2001
>>281961540That change is genuinely so fucking retarded. It doesn't make sense in the slightest. I can only think it was made to try and make Ippo more relatable to younger kids who have never even seen a landline phone before.
>>281961887HnI is 60% SoL, it makes sense to constantly try and ground it in relatively modern timesThe twitter chapter was stupid
>>281948518>wow he exploded into bloody chunks instead of vaporizing, he's so tough
>>281948578 bitchdo...
>>281948578Sendobros we don't even get a fuckin pillar...
>>281948578aint no way.............. QwQ
>>281948578a real dog would pee on that column
>>281962076based dog whisperer
>>281948578literally bitchmade
it's a tiger, not a dog
>>281962204Someone should tell George that
>sendo gets knocked out>grandma asks for pen and paper >excludes him from her will>dies
>>281962372>sendo gets knocked out>grandma asks for pen and paper>"I just wanted you to creampie your teacher">dies
What's really funny about this fight is that Sendo's literally being beaten so fucking bad that the only way for him to redeem himself is if he dies in the ring to save him from further humiliation
>>281949369>>281956388im pretty sure this is a shitposter because you cannot have thoughts like that in the current era of jap boxing, they literally dominate 122 and below>>281957858you are bitching for the sake of it, each region or race of boxers have classes in which they excel at, the japs have been historically great in the lower divisions, spics have had success in the divisions above the jap ones, same with the burgers, yuropoors generally performer grea from 168 and aboveyou complaining that the japs dont have elite talent from 126 and upwards is beyond stupid, you could apply the same logic about all the regions / races, likewhere are the burgers and bong champs at 122 and below, what about the spics at hw? and the aussis at welter and 135? how about the filipinos at 175 and cw?your arguments make no sense at all
>>281953782>>281948689>Translation released on 9/2KWAB
The Naniwa tiger? more like the nani what the fuck kitten
>>281948416>bullet drawn correctly this timedid someone tell him?
>>281948578Pussy Takeshi...
>>281955374It did work in the sparBut Sendo did enter the fight thinking he could coast on that tard energy while Martinez is a computer and was probably computing the spar the whole time
>>281948518This is the face of someone realizing that another boxer is going to attempt to end their career on his fistsRicardo just realized he attended a funeral
>>281948491
>>281960350Kamogawa has cancer or is has managed to age 20 years in a couple of years since Ippo's retirement. Him being in his 60s-70s at the start of the manga is now him well into his 90s.
>>281960793This. Pretty embarrassing for someone who owns a boxing gym and writes a boxing manga.
>>281957856He's not going to win, but he is going to knock Ricardo down.
>>281948633>Sendo is getting dominated>but turns out Ricardo has a chink in the armor after being worn downIf Sendo loses just because he was too pussy to capitalise then I'm going to drop this manga
>>281965792It's literally becoming the exact same scenario as the Ippo/Date fight. Sendo will be seconds away from landing his finishing blow and then fall face first into the mat and be pronounced dead on the spot.
Will Martinez smile this fight? Or will he just get mad at what a tactless gorilla Sendo is?
>>281966014He's written as someone who always expects himself to win, so he'll probably be disappointed, but we won't get a moment like this with him if that's what you're asking
>>281948263Ugh, i really really dont want sendo to win after this
>>281966014Sendo will unlock Black Oxygen near the end of the fight so Ricardo can go EL DIABLO again and finally use 40% of his machismo to obliterate Sendo into red mist.
>>281961887You're overthinking it, it's just annoying to keep track of for no real benefit to anyone. Its not meant to be period manga.
>>281963674The naiwaa~~ tiger
>>281966040>Sendo unlocks Black Oxygen>The melanin content in his skin starts to rise at a dramatic rate
Why does George come off as someone that genuinely hates his own nation
>>281966323Because Morikawa's protege Manabu Fukushima lost to Oscar Larios. JB Sports Gym never recovered. Old fart was so disillusioned that he made his Ippo characters lose except Takamura who is just a parody of old school Jap chads like Hiroshi Fujioka ( Kamen Rider / Segata Sanshiro )
>>281966491>Lives long enough to see himself become the real life KamogawaIn a perfect world, Ippo would have ended where the original anime series ended, with him becoming Japan's featherweight champion
>>281966491I really hate it when unresolve trauma becomes the plot of your mangathis is why I gave up on this medium of entertainment as the writers of these novel can't write shit
>>281948689Thank you for posting. It's getting ugly.
>>281968527It got ugly extremely quickly chapterwiseSendo got his mind shadow game shattered in two rounds
Sendo is dumb if he expected Ricardo to go to retard mode and go for dual exchanges like alf did he got a real rude awakening
>>281948689How common is it in irl boxing, for someone to eat shit for the entire match, but they land a single good punch and destroy their opponent?
>>281966323Are you retarded? It's literally the opposite.
>>281969314Ricardo might still go retard mode but it won't be as a necessity, it will be as a mercy
Imagine doubting SenGOAT
>>281948263short
>>281969373Randall Bailey did it by turtling up for 9 rounds barely throwing a punch and getting beat up then landing a couple of home runs late in the fight but the biggest one I can think of is Corrales - Castillo, you should definitely watch the last round in that fight. But common? No.
>>281948263Ho boy
>>281948285Granny knows that’s not true
Sendo can only reach his full potential by being informed his grandma died and he was too slowIppo, you know what to do
>>281948689He’s getting his clarity, snapped into the green eyed mode moment eventually
>>281948689Thanks.>20 ATK
Extremely fucking sad for Sendo to be put down like that but at least George is being consistent. If Ippo's style wasn't able to contend with a mexican, Sendo's style definitely shouldn't either
>>281971174but Sendo sparred with Martinez and did better
>>281948263The reality of the world... is strong....
>>281971217>Sendo managed to down Ricardo in sparring>Absolutely none of that same energy is being demonstrated here
>>281971174The only reason why he has a world title match to begin with is because alf was nerfed hard and was mentally retarded for the sake of losing sendo does not belong in the world stage I bet he couldn't even win the wbc belt if he tried
>>281972518He beat Alfredo fair and square.
>>281972518Wtf are you talking about, must suck being that retarded.
Remember when sendo sparred wally, wally said that sendo roars too much and that REAL tigers dont? Wonder if that will play into this match
>>281950788The nip slayer
>this thread>expecting anything from sendo the eternal jobber
>>281958027He's a pedo so yes, he belongs>>281958119That's a win for Sendo as far as I'm concerned
Wally losing to ricardo was bullshit tbqh
>>281951445>>281951464I can imagine having a Joe-style ending for Sendo where he eats shit and loses but pummels Ricardo so hard in the last moments of the match that he ends up with permanent injuries or retires soon after. He'll at least get one good punch or something so Ricardo will go "you suck ass but had potential" or something.
>>281971592Because it was the 1st time they faced each other. Ricardo now has a good enough gauge of Sendo's reach. Sendo will probably get a clean hit later on because of Ricardo's block being weakened.
>>281974609>Ricardo will go "you suck ass but had potential"If that happens, we need an edit of that Sukuna panel
>>281974609The ironic part is that Sendo already had his Joe-style ending
>>281948416SENDOSISSIES??? OUR RESPONSE ???
>>281948416I keep coming back to this page just for the top panel. It makes me laugh every fucking time. That is the most pathetic face I've ever seen in this manga.
>>281955374>Nothing Sendo could do would workStop fucking missing, keep forcing Martinez to block and break the arms until the arm goes down. It's been done before.
>>281975580>Stop fucking missingBut he can't hit him. Ricardo will always dodge.
Damn, all my telegraphed haymakers aren't landing... I know, I just need to telegraph them MORE, then it will surely work!
>>281975580Great game plan, except:>Hard knock down 1>Hard knock down 2>Heavy counter
>>281975318Yes, that happened at the end of Ippo x Sendo first fight. Maybe Morikawa will do something similar to it again with Sendo being pushed by the fans while unconscious (since the fight is in Osaka)
>>281948689BUCKBREAKING COMPLETE.
>>281951445Lmao joe was giving jose a way harder fight than sendo is giving to ricardo before dying in the ring
>>281953782TOTAL NIP DESTRUCTION
>>281956922That's because all our talent migrated to the us and never look back, half of America's champions have Mexican heritage
>>281948689Ricardo is my HERO!
>>281948263eighteen???
>>281979559don't go reading them all at once
>>281948416>>281948440Say it with me everyone!K!W!A!B!
>>281948689Fuck, Sendo is so deflated he looks like Ippo here. I thought he'd just get curbstomped in a late round and that'd be it.
>>281962635nobody cares about manlet divisionsdont be a little bitch weeaboo
>>281955437He has the same demeanor but watered down.
>>281966323>hates his own nationfuckamura is the strongest character in the series and he is japanese
>>281980544What if Takamura loses the heavyweight world championship?
Y'all act like you haven't seen this before. HNI protags basically have built super Red Tearstone Rings, the closer their health gets to 0 the more attack and defense boosts they get. Sendo's got him right where he wants him.
>>281948689sendo noooo don't die ;_;
>>281980604morikawa will die before the series ends.
>>281980611>the closer their health gets to 0 the more attack and defense boosts they gethttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bx0OWE46Rw8funny how this never works in real life boxing
>>281948263>Chapter 1502
>>281966058It's objectively fucking strange to have Ippo watching every fight on video tapes to study and then see Aoki pull out his smartphone 2 seconds later.
>>281981031George has drawn a VCR too many times to switch it up
>>281966014Why'd the art get insanely clean for a couple chapters and then go back to normal?
Deserved honestly.He had no business winning the Alfredo fight.
>>281982479Retard.
>>281957856He has to lose because it's what will get Ippo to finally get back in the ring.
>>281985130a draw could work too, then they rematch and sendo could lose there in a brutal fashion.
>>281982479>He had no business winning the Alfredo fight.Thrvke
>>281948416Sendo is about to break into fucking tears
>>281966491>>281966713George has quite literally given up on the manga and is only keeping up because most japs don't know when to quit after a thousand or so chapters.Luckily Sako is saving boxing manga as we speak with Genikasuri so there's no point in humoring George anymore outside of laughing at how bad the manga got.
>>281948263all right
>>281989374>there's no point in humoring George anymoreI'm attached to the to the hulking retard and his potential man kouhai.
