| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Quite a different feeling this episode. I like it though with the pace. I think their little trip is more like a discovery. I like how they help that woman out although they do earn a beating this episode. Boxing out there in the open, wow. What an episode of flashback. Awesome. |

| Yayyyy! I'm over the moon they are animating this, I really really enjoyed it in the manga. Kamogawa = Ippo, Neko = Miyata, pretty much, one is a tough bastard and the other is the better technical boxer. Nice to see Dankichi as well! And Miguel Zale, Bryan Hawk's old coach. |
| Yay!! My fav arc is finally getting adapted :D Perfect way to end the season ^^ Totally loved Kamogawa and Nekota fighting it out and then landing a punch on Ippo XD They really are such close friends ^^ And how Nekota was saying Kamogawa could have easily been a world champion if boxing tournaments were international at the time. Flashback is awesome so far. Yuki is so damn cute <3<3 Like Kamogawa said, anybody would fall for her >.< Loved the part where they got owned by the soldier protecting her and how Nekota decided to live with Kamogawa so he can live with Yuki XD Their reactions to Yuki saying she loves sunflowers was so lol. Damn she's adorable though ^^ Can't wait til they start training to fight the Soldier. Gonna be epic animated :D |
 |
| Oh man the fights are going to be awesome, truly awesome. I'm actually glad they didn't animate it at the start and left it to end the season, it's really fitting. This will make this season trump New Challenger for sure. |
| Wow this was a really nice episode with the historical background, it really reminded me of Rainbow. It was brutal back in those days. |
Aichiro said: Wow this was a really nice episode with the historical background, it really reminded me of Rainbow. It was brutal back in those days. Word!!! and Yuuki is rly cute!!! :OO but those 2 look really badass in their days. I knew Miyamoto is voicing Kamagowa, probably cuz he never rly changes his voice :o |
| Kamogawas arc was one of the most epic arcs in hni |
 |
| really nice vibe this flashback gave |
| Young Kamogawa seems awesome. |
| Getting a real Rainbow: Nisha Rokubou no Shichinin vibe now. It's weird how strangely similar HNI and Rainbow are even though they're 2 almost completely different kinds of anime. |
Rest In Peace [img] |
| nice background story for Kamogawa and Nekota and that pretty girl |
| Meh. I don't like flashbacks very much. I am now trying to struggle when the original story took place now now considering how old these guys are after WWII. I just don't like stories like this very much. |
| The Rainbow comparisons are well justified since both are produced by Madhouse after all. I'm really looking forward to more of this flashback. |
| I was really hoping this season would end with an Ippo fight, but well, we had our share of awesome fights in Rising :D I see many of you were expecting this story, glad it was delivered. I don't get how Nekota's nose became so funny tho lol By the ending I'm guessing this will be a 2 parts probably? pheww... finally today I catched up with HNI, now I'm curious about this Rainbow you guys mention... hmmm |
| Looks like this'll be the best arc of Rising. Aoki's hair is hilarious. |
| Ecstatic that we're ending the season with this arc. I cannot even begin to tell you all how much I enjoyed this one in the manga. Even though the Sawamura fight really had me hooked, this flashback knocked my socks off. Cannot wait! |
antonnn said: Kamogawa = Ippo, Neko = Miyata, pretty much, one is a tough bastard and the other is the better technical boxer. It's more the other way around actually. Mamoru Miyano works really well as young Kamogawa. I'm liking his performance here. |
| Awesome flashback! Probably the best arc of rising and the most interesting for me. |
 |
| That was great. this arc will be awesome. |
| look like there is not much hate about ww II story. the Japanese are acting like victims and the Allied are the bad guys .... |
superchan said: 'look like there is not much hate about ww II story. the Japanese are acting like victims and the Allied are the bad guys .... the yellow haired americans are always the bad guys, almost everything in HnI is as cheesy as it can get but atleast we get some kind of backstory animated finally. |

I have been waiting for this even more then I was waiting for Sawamura vs Ippo. I wanna see Kamogawa hammer in his fists into that fucking Anderson. |
| Ad Astra Per Aspera |
| Miyano Mamoru! Great! Let's see how this flashback goes. |
| So, What do you think is on the other side? |
superchan said: look like there is not much hate about ww II story. the Japanese are acting like victims and the Allied are the bad guys .... For them, they obviously were the bad guys as they were the ones they fought against. Also the whole story about the Emperor being perfect in every way and how humiliating even an idea to lose the War was according to their current believes/customs at that time. Very odd/unfamiliar to us now. :D |

I love Mamoru, but I found him a little unfitting as young Kamogawa. |
 |
| A bit of a bitter memory and some LOL-worthy flashbacks, especially when Nekota moved in to stay with them. XD |
| You see there's no need to wonder where your god is, Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy. |
| great episode, man if the series had been just about those 2 back in the 1940's i guarantee you they would have a shit ton of favorites on this site, i look foreword to the likely sad outcome this arc will have Though since the events of the present are pretty much guarenteed to be over i have to say this was easily, my favorite part of the series so far, its getting a very enthusiastic 9/10 |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| Makes you think a little bit about that war, even though this is fiction. |
 |
| wow I forgot Dankichi and Zale were in the story too. Loving how they're animating this so far! Funny that Anderson is like Hawk and Zale is with him :p |
 |
| Liking the flashback |
 |
| Well, this was an interesting episode. |
| So they're ending the season with a past arc huh, interesting. |
 |
| Pretty nice start of this backstory arc, knowing there only will be 3 episodes left I guess these next episodes will cover their whole backstory or something! Either way let's see what's next. |
 |
| Fucking Americans |
| I liked it, to bad it ends bad for that girly. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| Americans around this time are always portrayed as assholes. i don't doubt a lot of them were like this though =P This is actually a pretty good backstory. I'm enjoying it so far ^^ antonnn said: Miguel Zale, Bryan Hawk's old coach. Oh wow, I didn't even notice haha. This is cool. |
| Interesting backstory arc. I wish the retarded generic girl wasn't involved though. Detracts from the Kamogawa-Nekota relationship, and it just completely pointless. Looking forward to seeing how this plays out though |
| Finally getting more backstory on Kamogawa, but the anime is almost over |
