Please use this thread to discuss the most recently released Ippo chapter!
Currently: Chapter 1148

It seemed like Takamura's speech to Ippo was in vain.
Honestly Ippo, with that attitude you'll never become world champion? Fuck that bitch and fight like you fought Sawamura god dammit!!

In which direction do you think will Ippo go form now on?

Honestly this late into the manga, I think we're finally going to see Ippo and Kumi become a "thing". And idk, Kumi getting punched by Sawamura really released the vicious side of him so I think she might play a role on getting Ippo into the proper mindset for a possible title match in the future.

Wait new chapters are out?


Update:
I think this foreshadows a little bit what was said by itagaki before the Kojima match
this right here


I'm thinking that slowly we will get to a plot twisting point where Ippo will give some of his humanity up. And like Sheroze stated it might have something to do with Kumi.(Most likely actually.)
Maybe his mother will coincidentally go to or see one of his matches and see the new inhuman Ippo. But IF Ippo becomes Inhumane it will probably be for one moment or for one match so he wont go Kamishiro yuu or Kaneki ken and have a personality change.
I wonder how Ippo will look like IF he goes 'Inhumane mode'. As we have seen, The three characters: Mashiba, Sendo and Takamura that went 'Inhumane mode' all had a slight appearance change.

Well, I think it's not a case that "inhuman Ippo" and Kumi were mentioned in the same chapter. I've got kinda theory, that something like Sawamrua punch on Kumi will happend again and then Ippo wil go not inhuman mode, but berserk beast mode <3 I still think there's gap in Ippo's mind, something is lacking. This chapter opened for me some theories... I personally think that Ippo will lose ONE MORE fight, after this he will be depressed, he will ret/be close to retire, but something else will happend and Ippo will come stronger as inhuman, he will destroy enemies like never before, maybe he will lose his fight to Ricardo Martinez, then he will relinquish the belt and Ippo will fight Miyata for the belt? I think Sendo should be main Ippo's rival. But it's just my thoughts :D I like to consider and talking about my unrealistic personal theories, can't wait to know how true they are! :D

Yeah sorry for that I was unclear but I meant by Inhuman a more beastly Ippo.
Yes maybe he might lose ones again or get a draw and be in a sort of greyzone if he wants to continiue or not. And maybe then he will get a fire lid in him again and train ones again for the champ belt.

I think that just SOMETHING important is missing, just one more "thing" is going to happend, I don't know what, but i know that there something in plot is lacking, I just can't wait to know that!

100% Agree with you. I have the same feeling that something is missing. The plot feels to 'safe' at this point. Something big is going to happen.
For starters, is that the super middleweight will be especially great. For hundreds of chapters we didnt see Takamura take the Super Middleweight class for no good reason. And then finally they stated that the super middleweight class was crowded and full good contestants . I feel like Kamagowa doesnt want him there because he maybe fears the champ. I believe the Super Middleweight class in particuler will be special and more...Fearsome.
Since Takamura always had the power advantage at the Jr. Middleweight and Middleweight classes and his opponents always had the speed advantage. But from Supper Middleweight and on his oppnonents will have more power that is on par of takamura's or maybe even greater.
And something scarring and/or deep will happen to Ippo most likely

When I think that there is still 4 more weight classes for Takamura, a lot of Ippo's, Itagaki, Aoki and Kimura plot, I'm afraid that me or Morikawa-sensei will die until the end of that masterpiece manga :(

Very true. One of my biggest worries as well.
I shared some of my thoughts about that with Anokata and we both found it pretty disturbing.

I actually have lots of manga were I fear this might happen.
One Piece (Oda refuses to let someone else finish his work), Detective Conan, Hunter x Hunter (if it ever continued) are a the main ones.

its already 940+ chapters in and the last few years releases were very irregular due to winter hiatus and operations etc.
the anime is also suffering because of that, leaving huge fillers at the end of every year.

limitless Dempsey Roll incoming. Also that double page of Ippos fist was pure hype. I love hype for Ippo and I hate it when he's presented as that shy depressive ass.

Question is: Who will his next opponent be...? Now that is some hype!

Ippo being a shy boy and all makes him unique and funny IMO. Same with takamura's personality. (Ore-sama.)
I am ofcourse fan of the Beast-Dont-give-a-shit type, And it's a good thing we have those kind of characters in the series. Like Sendo, Takamura and Sawamura.

Great. No more focus on the never-evolving romance and now it's finally time for the new Dempsey roll! I like it, the old Ippo I love is returning.

Well I hope this new Dempsey Roll will FINALLY happen, becouse he's thinking about this for such a long time that I almost lost my hope I'll see it in my lifetime. I hope it will be REALLY big deal and it will completely change his fighting style.

So I was behind 8 chapters and just caught up. Why does it feel like there was 0 plot progression other than the new Dempsey being revealed. I'm a bit disappointed, but at least the comedy was hilarious.

Seeking plot progression in Ippo by chapters is impossible. I'm just glad that Ippo finally has regained an ambition in his boxing career.

Hmm this topic says future expectations right? The two things I'd like to see the most amongst others are:

i) Sendo decides to become a well-rounded boxer. By well-rounded, I mean he should possess multiple defenses!!!! I'm looking forward to more Sendo fights!!

ii) Takamura going on to conquer the other weight classes. Fuck that bullshit about his age or his eye!!

Every other character in the Hajime no Ippo universe apart from the above 2 are minor issues to me. Anyway, if you check my profile, you'll notice I just recently decided to start reading the manga after 5 years of contemplating if I should or not (and what chapter I currently am). Y'all who are current with it, don't be afraid to share more detailed spoilers on characters to me. Inbox them if you wish, I don't mind.

Just caught up. Fuck. These last few chapters were pretty depressing, I hope it doesn't go through the route I think it will. This also seems like a sign that the manga will be ending soon (probably after Ippo's next fight).
