| That was a pretty good episode, but was it just me or did it repeat a lot from the previous episode o-o? |
| I was almost sure Aoki was gonna win, but then again anything could happen, its great he won't retire. And yet, same as Takamura I think they both lost lol |
| I got a couple laughs from episode. I knew Aoki wasn't going to win but it still felt like an asspull. At least it was draw (as if that's worth anything). |
| as I was expecting. I got many face palm in Aoki's fight lol xD |
 |
| in the end, the frog can't fly :( funny awesome episode..takamura's troll face was gold xD |
| Average episode for me..didn't really expect Aoki to win to be honest |
 |
ParaParaJMo said: how hard is to understand that it's impossible to adapt hundreds of chapters in only more or less 26 episodes? you can't put every fucking thing it just wouldn't fitI still don't get why the anime edits out how Aoki developed his look away. |
| Wow it really felt like Aoki could win this when it all started, but apparently not. Too bad. Still a really entertaining match~~ Loved it all. |
 |
| Well it's understandable, he can't win the belt yet. Aoki has a lot more to do before it. Anyway, good episode like always. |
 |
| WTF? I hope he gets a rematch. |
 |
| Very good episode. It was more exciting than reading it in the manga. 5/5 |
| i was really expecting aoki to lose but i really want him to win, but the result was draw , int the end he still dint get the belt too sad T-T |
| Tough for Aoki, but expected. |
| I love this anime even though i probably wont get to see all the fights i want to see in this season |
| Manly tears were shed again. But that ending is just hilarious! Man, i like how this anime can be really sentimental and become comedy gold later in the end. |
| too bad Aoki did not get the championship belt |
| Good job Aoki.He deserves the belt but.... |
 |
| I don't think they'll ever have a full gym full of champions. Aokimura are there to be the average boxers. While I like both of them andd feel they're a great addition to the show, I don't think they'll ever get a big break and win the championship. It'd be as if Krillin won the Martial Arts tournament . Just won't happen |
| Manly tears TwT |
| this fight was really great especially the last episode was so epic <3 |
| When they were telling the scores, I honestly kinda expected it to be a draw. Apparently a very unforeseen episode, but still a damn good fight. Aoki's my new favorite. 5/5 Also, this OST is too godlike. |
Rest In Peace [img] |
| Did not expect a draw. hmmm ... ok. |
| After the legendary last episode, I was expecting a bit more from the conclusion of this match, but overall it was still good. The animation, on the other hand, was beyond horrific this episode. |
| 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... |
| I was hoping for a win but I was expecting a defeat, Aoki exceeded my expectations by getting a draw. LOL |
| You see there's no need to wonder where your god is, Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy. |
| Damn... Wanted Aoki to win :/ |
| Words aren't the only way to tell someone how you feel.- Tifa lockhart Which is it? A memory or us? -Tifa lockhart |
| Damn it Aoki you had it won!!!! You got robbed like Hendricks got robbed against St. Pierre!!! (granted that's MMA but its relevant to this) |
 |
| am i the only one who heard Trigun's ost in this episode? |
| Damn, I feel bad for Aoki now but I hope he'll kick some major ass in the future! |
 |
| Episodes 4 to 6 dedicated to Aoki was just a waste of time. (seriously why would i enjoy the clown Aoki boxing with his frog style...) 3 whole episodes is realy too much for sure. |
| Ah Aoki, you really should have wonthat one T_T But Imae had great character development. At the beginning of this fight, he was a total douche, but the moment he didn't look away from Aoki's AWESOMELY CRAZY FUNNY move, he realised what was most precious to him; and totally gained my respect. Still MsChii said: Aoki should have won. T_T T___T |
| I'm sad Aoki didn't win, but if he didn't waste his stamina on Tomiko the night before he may have actually had enough energy to do a complete frog punch. |
ParaParaJMo said: I still don't get why the anime edits out how Aoki developed his look away. In the manga, it was funny and it also made sense. He just developed it by accident to avoid eye contact with Itagaki's father and it worked on him and it gave him a silly idea. Then he tried it at the gym with the others in the middle of a conversation and thought it was a good idea to use in the fight. But you should look forward to Man, you just never stop whinging do you? Every fucking thread. |
| Had a feeling he wasn't gonna win the belt since Kimura wasn't able to win it before as well so I'm guessing they're probably gonna have them both win it around the same time eventually. This was definitely a different match from the ones we usually get but it was quite entertaining with a bit of feels towards the end. |
 |
| Shame it ended in a draw, oh well nice episode either way! |
 |
| It was impossible to contain once your hunch about his "secret" move was inevitably turning out to be true. I get the first time, but the second time??? IS THIS SOME PSYCHOLOGICAL PHENOMENON? But despite that retarded draw, I finally got to like Aoki more. Good stuff, good stuff. Arnold-Schwarzenegger-abs-hard laughs, and 10-pussy-pumps-per-second thrill. |
| I liked the frog scenes. |
 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. |
| This arc really makes you like Aoki more. Guy is pretty hilarious, in a stupid way hahaha. |
| That's fucking bullshit that a Draw results in the champion keeping his belt. Other than that though, this fight was excellent. Aoki's moves were still hilarious, and the fight actually got pretty nerve racking near the end. Waiting for the decision was the most tense I've felt watching the show. Also I actually came to really like the guy Aoki was fighting by the end of it. All in all great fight |
| What, A tie seems incredibly rare. |
 |
| fucking knew he won't get the title. This fuckin mangaka won't let my nigga shine smh |
