| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- wow that was a really tough fight for Ippo :O 2 Dempsey Rolls in a fight is really too much XD Gratz for the win Ippo! |
 |
| That was a tough fight, it went by pretty quick though, those exchange of blows that Shimabukuro and Ippo gave each other during the first Dempsey Roll was intense. When the 2nd one came, it really took its toll on Shimaba, now that makes 17 wins for Ippo. I wish they told more about Shimaba in this though like the rest of Ippo's opponents, but either way, it was still an alright match. |
 |
| That was a really awesome fight! Loved it. So intense :D 2 Dempsey Rolls. Both were awesome! With that exchange of blows. Dat last Punch was epic!! Send him flying Ippo hehehe. Shimabukuro deserves utmost respect too ^^ |
 |
| to trade blows with ippo and stand still, what a tank |
| Ippo had it hard this time, as Kamogawa said, he didn't fight like a champion, but still did a great job. BTW music in first Dempsy Roll was from first season OST trainings, I drolled in that part! Wondering how humour will be handled in this season EDIT: found the song, it's called Irradiation -chills- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o2BE3IILRto |
| Good episode, it's picking up now at least. |
| That was INTENSE. Beautiful animations and oh my god, those ost were awesome. |
| What an amazing start to the series loving the pace!!! |
| The real thing starts from next episode! Woohoo~ |
| Stay Home and Wash Your Hands. Protect Yourself. Protect Your Loved Ones. Protect Your Community and Help Defeat Coronavirus. |
| Actually wanted the fisherman to get up and fight him again to prove his resilience but oh well, was pretty fun. Also lol@ fisherman drowning himself. Animation looked great as well, not sure where this season is headed yet but I'll guess I'll get a broad view of what this season centers around within a few episodes. |
| On one hand it's a shame they blew through this match so quickly on the other hand that means more time for the Sawamura and David Eagle matches CAN'T WAIT |
| Wow, that was good. Can't believe they can exchange blows with each other. Good fight. |
| Words aren't the only way to tell someone how you feel.- Tifa lockhart Which is it? A memory or us? -Tifa lockhart |
| That was a nice fight I guess. When Ippo went the crowd started chanting Ippo's name, i had to join in. At the end of the first episode, I was wary about how good this season was gonna be, and tbh, this episode made me believe that this season will be just awesome. Just hoping that Takamura's fight is as crazy as ever whenever we come around to it. Still loving that ED >__< |
| Good fight, but I'm looking forward to Takamura in the ring again. |
| Just imagine how intense the main battles will be in this season.. |
| Epic mindblowing fight. The OST are fucking amazing, I hear the improvement after the 2nd season. Anyway, I just jizzed myself when Shimabukuro was countering Ippo's Dempsey RORU, with his brute strenght, it almost seemed like they were both using Dempsey Roll. It was spectacular. Oh btw, Shimabukuro is such a bro. "He's no fisherman, he's a pure, unadulterated boxer". The next episode is called "Woman's Battle" uhm? |

| Someone who reads the manga tell me what the next episode really is about "Women's Battle" seems very anticlimactic for a next episode |
| Wow , I was worried about this pacing because it felt like episode 1 was rush but this episode was just ... WOWWW I need more |
 |
| This anime, i love it so much. DEMPSSSEEYYYY ROOOOOOOLLLLL!!!!!!!!!! |

| I was a little worried about the pacing after seeing the first episode but after watching this episode I'm not too worried anymore. Great animation, music and it was really tense. I'm looking forward to the rest of the season. Next episode will hilarious! |
 |
| Last time i remember, this battle was like 30+ chapter in the manga xD Intense fight is intense indeed but i feel they will skip most of the training and character development(Although most of the development comes from the fights anyway). |
| Ippo still trash i dont ever see him making world class with all the beatings he get. I never once saw him win with ease. I use to read the manga but stopped around 900 so i dont know how much better he got. Takamura is the best thing in the series i hope we see a fight from him. |
| I miss the old ring commentator. |
| I felt really happy when Ippo said "i won! im so happy!" sdjfkkf. I enjoyed this chap, animation was good and keep me watching every single moment. |
| "...To kiss, that beautiful woman cherry-like lips" |
| A bit better now, not too sped up like the first episode and its less obvious if something got cut off. This show is epic as usual like its previous series! Really can't wait for the Sawamura fight i.e. the epic little clip seen on the opening song! I miss the old commentator =_= the new one sounds bad and looks bad!! lol And missed the old couch :( |

| Dempsey roll epic as always..! next episode.. Women's battle! i hope we meet the reporter girl again :p 5/5 |
| Great fight. but i kinda knew that ippo would win cause that guy didn't had an introduction. no drama scene from him or anything .. kinda obvious .. but still a good fight. |
hgeronimo said: Great fight. but i kinda knew that ippo would win cause that guy didn't had an introduction. no drama scene from him or anything .. kinda obvious .. but still a good fight. He actually had an introduction in manga, he even met with Ippo few days before the match. Madhouse just decided to skip that part, so they can adapt as many material from manga in these 25 episodes, that's at least what I think. |

Takamura is the best thing in the series i hope we see a fight from him. you're talking a bit too fast, his 3rd Title Defense against Yi Yon Su he endend it in 32 seconds setting new record. But still he isn't a monstrous champ like Ricardo, Date, of even Takamura. I don't even read the manga, but Ippo needs to learn some new blows, it's starting to piss me off that he's lost without Dempsey Roll, makes him look kind of mediocre, and I'd seriously drop the story if he doesn't learn new shit. |
| Because I don't follow the manga I was really worried that Ippo was going to lose this one. I really liked Shimabukuro acknowledging Ippo's strength at the end, and it's nice to see characters winning and losing graciously. |
| Love this. It was quite obvious that Ippo would win, yet I still cheered for him out loud. |
| Mediocre episode, this fight and build up should have at least been 4 episodes long like in the original series. I feel like the director is rushing everything to get to alot done in this season and I really dislike that, the first season had incredible pacing that built tension and hype for a fight yet this has all been thrown out the window. I at least hope they build up the Sawamura fight. |

| Woah Epic Battle! dint notice it end :( I have to Wait again I cant Wait for Takamura to Fight The OP is just so Badass |
ParaParaJMo said: The anime leaves out the part where Ippo recalls from the first spar with Miyata that he should think of his opponent as a fish. He does this in the Shimabukuro fight as well in the manga. I am so done with the anime if they fuck up Ippo vs Sawamura I bet they will to be honest. They should just turn this into a another 75 or more episodes. Plus, i really want my Nekota, Kamogawa and Yuki past arc. Maybe they would do that as an OVA in the future though.... |
| the fight in the manga was way impressive :/ i enjoyed the fight though. |

| The ost were good, but they seemed to be used at the wrong time. Still, in the end, this turned out to be a decent fight, but all the fishermen talk was pretty annoying tbh. Next episode seems to be more comedic and as those are usually some of my favourite episodes in the series, I'm looking forward to next week... |
| 5 main aspects I base my ratings on: 1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it? 2. Is it better than Breaking Bad? 3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it? 4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL? 5. Is it actually good? Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant... |
| Comeon guys, I'm pretty sure the fight vs Sawamura is going to be the highlight of the season...Theres no way they will rush it. IMO one of the best fights in the series. |
