| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Jose Mendoza becomes a world champion at the age of 20, according to the ownder of that small shop. Fearsome. |
| Kim quit boxing. Sad. Was hoping to see more of him. |
| Sad to see Kim quit but man this buildup to Joe vs Jose is great. |
 |
| It was great seeing Joe enjoy his time outside of the ring. That former boxer was funny too, naming his dog Jose,lol. Kim has to retire too. |
 |
| New opening is pretty good. Joe is destroying one boxer after another. Jose is really a great champ and he was already a monster with 16. Overall nice episode, visting Rikiishis grave had something and the restaurant visit was fun. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Good doggo! Kim quitted, ayyyy. |
 |
| I like the new opening song. But it is so different from the others... it doesn't seem to fit to Joe's story. It could have been a better ending song, I guess. |
 |
| Love the new opening. The tone is quite different compared to the previous one but it sounds awesome. Interesting to see the history of a boxer who fought Jose and how that experience changed him, this episode served as some nice buildup. |
 |
| "Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey Blues... Still Rollin' The Blues" The new OP is very nice, quite jazz-y. reminds me of Cowboy Bebop. i'll miss the previous ending, though. |
| Well, it was almost a happy episode, that ending not withstanding. |
| Local crazy kid boxes with a dog in the middle of the night |
 |
| And another one bites the dust |
| I hate everyone equally |
| This isn't even on topic for the episode. But from the start of the Anime, I never imagined I would end up loving it so much. I think it really started to pick up when the Joe and Rikiishi was getting close. Ever since that fight, this Anime has remained a 10/10 in my mind. The vibe that it gives me is such a nostalgic but depressing vibe, Joe, as a character has grown on me so so SO much. Joe was definitely thinking of Carlos, Rikiishi, and Wolf when the ex-champ was talking about how Jose becoming the champ made him happy |
| That was a nice cozy episode. I don't know if it was just me who caught some symbolism in this episode. The dog (Jose) chasing after another dog, who's referred to as merely "Stray". Throughout the first season of Ashita no Joe, he was often compared to a stray dog. Now Jose the dog who's usually laid-back/calm like the Champion Jose is chasing after a stray (Joe). I think it symbolizes how despite Jose's calm nature, Joe's inner fire has ignited Jose's fighting spirit once again to defend Jose's World Champion title, something he wants to hold onto forever. I really like the new op and ed with that jazz vibe, which I guess symbolizes that we're moving toward the end of this magnificent saga > 2:59 AM, 22/09/24 |
