| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Damn what a match. Takamura, you tough bastard. He bled from his eye again this episode. I was really worried for a minute there. Great fight though. Everyone chanting Takamura's name loud and proud. Now this match was worth the time watching. Excellent stuff. That ending is hilarious though LOL |
 |
| Beautiful episode :D The fight was amazing. Loved how Takamura held the doctor telling him to let them continue and the fist pumps from both sides to continue were awesome. Loved how Takamura was fighting technically blind. Only seeing the feet. The way he gave that punch while falling causing a double fall was AWESOME!! The conclusion was even better!! Dat friggin AWESOME COUNTER!!! Just gotta love the sound effects like a jet! And how he kept punching and punching and punching without seeing a damn thing. Props to Eagle. What a great guy. Lol'd so much at the ending with Aoki's hair XDXDXD Poor guy hahaha. |

 |
| Didn't care for this one in the manga. Fight was okay. But animated, wow it really came out to be a lot more epic than I thought it would be. 5/5 |
| Aoki's hair at the end was the cherry on the beautiful cake that was this episode. |

| Now that's a counter. What a finish. Was more exciting in the anime than the manga IMO. |
| eagle dragged it so much but it was sick tho nice finish :] |
 |
| Promote the music director. Seriously it was too awesome |
"Your taste is shit cause you like what I hate. Believe me I have 1000 cartoons that I rated with less than 5."  |

You think that is something? They didn't capture even half of his personality from manga. I love Takamura, but Eagle really deserved that win. Only reason Takamura won is because he is deuteragonist. |

Plus the fight should have ended when the doctor shook his head in the first place. |

| Fucking awesome. I too was expecting Takamura to lose at first but I guess I was wrong then. |
 |
| Wasn't really that satisfied with the match. It was great, but it wasn't like Takamura's fight with Hawk. Then again, I guess you could say Takamura's gained a lot more experience after being the World Champion once. If the anime does end with The Coach's past, then it'll feel more like an ending. No better way to finish a season than with an amazing fight. Reading it in the manga was intense enough. |
| Nice, Takamura WON. YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS |
Aota said: Takamura came across as a bit of an asshole during the last two episodes so I'm glad he was awesome in this one. I can understand why some people were rooting for Eagle instead purely because of that. Takamura wasnt an asshole he boxed like any boxer would've done, and honestly I think people wanted Eagle to win because he was an amazing fighter, brave soul and he gave us one hell of a match, regardless of the "Sportmanship" |
| Eagle was boring and the fight was boring. If memory serves me right, this was Takamura's -only- boring match. The part right afterwards though, that was awesome. Aoki holding him up, Takamura's victory pose, everyone cheering, and Takamura's smile and thumbs up towards Ippo. Not to mention giving the belts to Kamogawa. I swear I say "Takamura's so cooool~~" after each of his fights. Now I can't wait for Kamogawa and Nekota's backstory, it's one of my favorite parts in the series. Shame I have to wait almost two weeks to even start it.... |
 |
| Ippo's fights always make me feel something on my stomach, like OMG c'mon get back on the gamee!! but Takamura's... the make me feel that sometihng on my chest, simply... that's Hajime No Ippo, pure manly epicness. That was a brutal fight, and the philosophy of "a pro will always attack the weakness" yeah that's kinda the deal, they're fucking boxers, not charity lol |

Plus the fight should have ended when the doctor shook his head in the first place. Nope, Eagle would have easily won in that situation. The author just don't want to upset the fans that Takamura would lose. No way in hell that anyone would one whose blind. Even the most strongest boxer in the real world wouldn't won, especially with how Takamura was becoming weak. Takamura would have been knocked out with all those punches and yet it only took a couple of punches for Eagle to get knockout. That's what I call bullshit. It was already established and was quite obvious that Takamura is a way stronger striker than Eagle. That is why there is a mental toll on eagle during the first few rounds and that is why he is able to knock him out faster. Eagle was not that of a strong striker to begin with. If you really want to know the real bullshit, is the fact the fight still continues despite of them being severely cut and the doctor have already shook his head therefore it should have ended there. No questions ask. The doctor's career is on the line(so as both eagle and takamura based on his medical evaluation) and so as his reputation, and he doesn't have the luxury to continue the fight just because the two fighters are all gung-ho on the ring. |

Yup. He was stronger but weakened at the end of the battle and add it with that he can't see much. And also, Eagle didn't become a champion because he is not a strong striker as well. His punch might not be as powerful as takamura but it's paid off by his technique and skills. And nope, the doctor's call is not much of a bullshit than takamura winning. You understand that. And i understand that you want to protect Takamura but let's face it, he would actually lose if the author didn't go for that "Oh Awesome!" or "It's a Miracle" route kind of story. You are forgetting the fact that both him and eagle are already almost blind in the end because of the cut and yes i know the fact that Eagle became a champion through sheer technical skills. Otherwise, people like Marco Antonio Barrera, Roy Jones Jr, Muhammad Ali, Sugar ray Leonard, Roberto Duran(the list goes on and on) won't be even all time greats if boxing is all about strength. Yeah....no. Again, both of them are cut. I would have agree with you if Eagle is on top condition while Takamura is beaten like a pulp but no because they are on the same condition. There has never happened a fight where a doctor let a match continue just because the crowd wanted it nor the fighters wanted it. Once he/she shook his head, it's over. The fight shouldn't even continue. Both of them are damaged and both one of their eyes are cut and it happens that Takamura is the superior and stronger puncher, and eagle is not. |
pipeds said: I was expecting him to lose and face reality just any other boxers out there Undefeated boxers do exist. Rocky Marciano, Ricardo Lopez and even the chicken Floyd Mayweather just to name a few. The problem here is how Morikawa pulled some obvious shenanigans in this fight. |
| There are no adequate words for this one. That was a great fight and a great end. |
 |
| That was one good fight! Even if Eagle won, I feel like it would still be quite alright, but Takamura has got to win because we've already invested too much in him, emotionally that is. 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. |
| おれは鷹村さま！ Great way to end the fight, Takamura the super champ. |
| Awesome fight, though Takamura vs Hawk felt more intense. Wonder what's gonna happen in the last 4 episodes :o |
 |
| Epic victory! And with two belts on his hands now I really wonder what he'll do next! |
