Loved the moments when Joe punched Kim's coach. Talking about a real bond between Joe and Danpei here.

First half had me laughing my ass off, damn engrish xD. Second half was so epic, the build up, the confrontation between Kim and Danpei + Joe was great.

Dat engrish LOL and Danpei sure get smacked around a lot, though tbh that was mostly Joe's fault in the first season where he was mostly an asshole in the beginning.

Kim seems to be strong.
He killed two opponents.

The match against Kim is going to be a bloody one.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

The engrish isn't as good as in Kiniro Mosaic, anime sure improved over time.

Dragon Kim is scary, hype for the fight!

This "dead eyes" fella is very interesting. hope he doesn't end up to be one of those boxers Danpei hype and then lose to Joe easily.

This looks like an interesting matchup honestly, he will probably give Joe a real challenge. Danpei got wrecked, but oh well, he deserved it for hiding the truth for so long.

Interesting representation of Mendoza. World champion boxer but also an excellent family man.

Ryuhi Kim shamelessly hitting the old Danpei. :(

I'm wondering again when this is taking place, looking at the backgrounds. In the first series there was a clear progression of industrialization, but here the backgrounds have been so much modernized that it's more likely taking place late in the 70s. That is, they've changed the time of the series. It could even be taking place in 1980 when this season was aired.

In particular, in this episode the shady reporter was driving a Pontiac Firebird Trans Am. From its lights you can see that it's the model that was manufactured from 1977 to 1981.



edit: Based on birthdays and character age mentioned later, the year is 1978.
