>>291886271Are there good Japanese boxers and fighters in general? Also RIP
>>291886271Why does the reaper knock so soon for the good ones...RIP
>>291886299Dude was 87, that's a good long life
Good night, sweet prince...
He lived a good life
>>291886271RIP confirmed bro
HEY JOEEE
>>291886271Alexa play Midnight Blues - by Ichiro ArakiRIP Chiba-san
>>291886271ok
>>291886271Damn, man. RIP.
>>291886299>soon
>>291886271Damn. Right as I was getting into Ashita no Joe too. May he rest in peace.
RIP
George soon to follow
>>291886289https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naoya_InoueThe GOAT is still active today.
who cares
>>291886499Thank you, who.
>>291886271All that remains is pure white ash...RIP king.
thought he was older.
rip man... it's hard to understate just how influential he was in the manga sphere and out
>>291886271Chiba and Kajiwara were always a real odd couple. Chiba was a hippie that dreamed about world peace, Kajiwara hung out with Yakuza members and regularly got into brawls. Joe I think, really got the most out of that mixture.
>>291886488Who are you calling a garbage fellow?
One of the most influential figures in manga. People have probably seen a reference to it in one way or another through the shows they've watched and don't even know.
joe...
>the guy who voices most of the looney tunes characters died earlier today>and then walter koenig>now thiswhat the fuck happened man
I just read Ashita no Joe this year, I had no idea the mangaka was still alive. RIP to an amazing author and artist.
>>291886271RIP
>>291886667full moon
Urge to not post *that* pic....
>>291886271Rip
>>291886299hate you fags that gotta act extra gay for creator deaths like this, guy actually reached a decent age to pass away, above average even.
You know, in the manga, when Joe gets sent to juvenile detention, it's pretty high security but otherwise just some place. In the anime adaptation, they change it to be on island. Which is fine, you know, make it a little spicier, except there's a story arc where Joe successfully does a jailbreak with the pigs. And the whole thing is that he could just walk but way, but intentionally chooses to go back to the detention center. In the manga that makes sense, but in anime, he's still stranded on the island. Kind of robs the scene of its significance, you know?
>>29188629987, he was a fucking kid
>>291886681You have to tho. As a sign of respect. The guy had guts to end his series the way he did. It still stuck with people decades later.
>>291886299At least he lived a long life, too many good people are dying way too early these days
>>291886271Thanks for making Joe man. Bawled my eyes out at the end. RIP
Rest in peacehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6fyxUdFTNU
>>291886271Fuck. I need to read Joe
>>29188629987 is ancient for a mangaka. Normally, the lifestyle kills them off in their 50s.
>>291886606>>291886810I'm sure the man did not pass away in a cuck chair like this character
>>291886271Rip. He lived a good long life.
>>291886271So young. RIP
>>291886799Me? I'm an old man.
>>291886271Just as Bleach gave him a tribute character.RIP sweet prince.>>29188629987, he was a fucking kid.
>>291886932I’ll give a (You) for the attempt. But you need to try harder.
>>291886799Literally in diapers at that age.
>>291886271RIP. Pressing F. I hope he turned to pure white ash on the way out.
Struck down in his prime, RIP.
>>291886299It's a fucked up world we live in when kids as young as 87 are dropping like flies...
ASHITA WA DOCCHI DAAAAA
Rip. At least 87 is actually old.
RIPBeen meaning to read the series but fuck man, F.
>>291886271F
>>291886606>>291886810god that's so fucking obvious, i knew i was going to see this before i opened the thread
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZiXte5zpciU
I didn't even know he was sick
>>291886271Holy fuuuuuuuuuuuckHey Joe...
>>291886271My favorite manga of all time, F
>>291886271RIPhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6fyxUdFTNU
>>291886271We lost a good one. I'm sorry he is gone, however I'm happy he made it so long for a mangaka. Hopefully he passed peacefully surrounded by loved ones.
He needed more oxygen
Rest in peace.

>>291886271NOOOOOOOOOOOO
Wonder how Morikawa's handling the news
>>291886271Why are so many famous people dying this year?
>>291886271I'm genuinely surprised he was still alive until today
Post pages or panels from his manga that you like.
FIs Morikawa next? I dont see him finishing Ippo at this point
>>291886667Hopefully it stops now rather than going for a 4th one
>>291887286Togashi is next. Dude has been sick for decades.
>>291887230Because you specifically are old.
GET UP CHIBAGET UP
>>291886271Been on my back log for a while. Guess I better get it finished this week F
>>291887147other nations with manlets have been able to produce elite boxers at higher divisions, also its not like they dont have tall guys, they just decide to take the sumo or boreball route instead
If you had asked me before today I would have assumed he was already dead given how old the manga was.
>>291886667>/co/ >then /tv/ >then /a/ /v/ is next, but I wonder who
>>291887332copeadelicious
I didn't expect that he was still alive until recently. I though he has been dead decades ago like Tezuka and any other Showa mangaka.
F to one of the most influential greats.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=crNafZnse68
RIP;_;7
>>291887345Gaben
>>291887384Sleeping 'flushes' your brain of a lot of toxins, so he was right
>>291887408That would be apocalyptic
>>291886799had his whole life ahead of him!
RIP LEGEND
>>291886435Fuck off.
>>291886271Rest in peace.
>>291886271Didn't know he was still aroundF
>>291886271The greatest to ever do it. RIP. ;_;
>>291886932According to Chiba, Joe wasn't meant to be dead and he just drew that page last minute as he didn't like Takamori's original ending that was pitched where we were to see Joe recovering at Yoko's in the final page and looking out aimlessly.Chiba would eventually draw that later as an illustration though.Either way you see it, Joe's boxing career was done for and he would've had to live through years of CTE and other after-effects.
>>291886271I've never heard of Ashita no Joe, is it an isekai?
>>291887492Ironic shitposting is just shitposting.
>>291886271R I P.
Goddamn...RIP>>291887473Cozy as hell
>>291886271An absolute titan of the industry, an incredible artist who has left behind a huge legacy. May he rest in peace O7
>>291886271One of the best, very high on my list.
>>291887230You are now 30+. All the people you looked up to as a kid are reaching old age. The remnants of the world you grew up with are dying.
>>291886271GG
>>291886271RIP. I guess that's the cue to start reading Joe.
Nice
>>291887492Now im just thinking about a boxing isekai.
God damnit, rip
>>291887577I've read karate and baseball isekai, but never heard of a boxing onealso, F
>>291887577not related by much but i miss kemono michi and my jewish wife

>>291886299>Soon87 is a good, long life. Just pray he had family with him.
Damn son. He's been around for some time. RIP
tebuye
>>291886271Ashita no Joe is genuinely one of the best out there, now might be a good time to read some of his other work. Rest in peace.>>291886799Some say he was the youngest kid ever.
>>29188679987? out of 100!
Leiji Matsumoto and Chiba were great friends and once went to Machu Picchu where they enjoyed high altitude thin air sickness that made everything look golden, literal city of gold. Both gone now. Here he's seen at Matsumoto's funeral which wasn't that long back, with Goku's voice seen too (we've already lost Masako Ikeda, Maetel to her Tetsuro in GE999). Legendary figures walk off into the sunset....JOOOOOOOOEEEE ! ! !
Won't ever forget Joe or Chiba. Rest in peace.
>>291886271R.I.P. to one of the greatest mangaka of all time.
Meh, I have more respect for Ikki Kajiwara. Imagine writing both Joe and KnH.
>>291886271RIP LEGEND
