Vorg vs Sendoh huh.. Gonna be a good fight..

A bit of a break from all the action, as usual Mashiba and Ippo moments are always funny xD
"I never knew haunted houses were this good" hehe..

MASHIBA DOWN by his sister, OWNED with one push

Love that clawing the wall thing suits Mashiba perfectly..
Haunted house scene with Mashiba again = hilarious xD

Yes, Mashiba scratching on the wall of the haunted house was pure win.

And the loss is finally settling in for Makunouchi.

It's nice to see that Ippo finally lost. Now, he has to just go through the phases of it finally settling in. Nice to have a little drawback from fighting and he got to go with Kumi to the amusement park. The little terrors from Mashiba whenever Kumi's around or talking to Ippo always are a laugh. xD

So the loss still sinks in for Ippo even with a date with Kumi =/ but Vorg vs Sendo now that should be a spectacular fight as well ^^

The dub had a really inappropriate line. Something about nooses and necks. Not the best decision.

Technically, he's still ranked 5th because it was a no.1 contender tournament, not a ranking one. So while he won it to face Date, he didn't rank up.

Must mean Sendo won a few matches since too to get ranked either 2nd or 3rd.

Woah 3month resting period? Thats going to be long.. Takamura was hilarious when he tried to comfort ippo :-))

Kumi right now is really straight forward.. haha wouldn't expect a girl to initiate a date hehe.. Ippo is one lucky guy except with her killer brother on their heels haha

A Sendo Vs. Vorg would be a nice match!

When Mashiba grapped the phone it was a very nice and funny includement of the boxing abilities into the daily life...that is a very rare but cool idea of this show.. normaly you only see them fighting or training, so including something like romance (like in this episode) or daily life is always intereting. Also the romance built up very nice, even though i doubt that they will focus it in any kind.. focusing it would be unfitting anyway.. just let a bit happen besides the main story. A very nice episode

Vorg vs. Sendo, Vorg should normally win.

Mashiba is just so hilarious, I love him so much xD

His date with Kumi was cute :P
But now, he finally realised that he lost...

The episode title was "Heartbroken". Same.

I'm surprised he lost because I thought this show would pull a Prince of Tennis where the protag literally wins every single official match.

Mashiba=Best brother.

I hope we see Date have a serious fight against a world ranker in the future. It'd be cool to see some legitimately elite level boxing with him, plus he's such a good character.

Sendo Vs Vorg should be awesome. Still confused about why they get to fight for the title though. Shouldn't Ippo and Vorg have a rematch since they were the highest ranked guys before the Date fight? Either way, I'm hyped for that.

Mashiba and his usual jabs flickers at Ippo were hilarious to watch.

The loss is finally starting to sink in him. I'd hated Takamura if he really mocked Ippo after the match.

Nice episode and now Sendo vs Volg, i go with Volg, i don't like him as a character but i do as a boxer, in my opinion he's the best boxer in the series, even better than Date in potential.

finally Miyata shows up, i'm actually disappointed he hardly gets any screentime even though he was supposed to be Ippo's main rival. they haven't even had a decent match together yet. don't forget about him author :(

so do i, especially now that he likes boxing. but sadly these type of sports anime only pave the path for the MC which is Ippo, so i have a feeling Sendo will win since he's better suited as his rival. but i really hope i'm wrong and that Volg wins because i like Volg quite a bit

That was a nice and funny episode.
Damnit, what a great match is coming next btwn Sendoh and Volg. But I'm not sure why a fight btwn the 2 is deciding who will be the next champion? Should not be Ippo the one fighting for it if anything cause he won both of them? Would be good to know the standings and how it's calculated. It's also nice to see Miyata in there, there is so many good opponents around. And I'm wondering if Mashiba will go back to the same category of Ippo in the rest or will he keep in the same of Aoki and Kimura.
Also I'm looking forward to see Date fight for the world champion.

3 months of rest for Ippo looks so much. Is no other tournament around to participate? I'm not really into boxing so I don't know how the schedule of a season works so a bit of info from the author would be cool. I also don't know if the nº1 fighter have to accept every single fight petition or he can decline them. Series haven't put emphasis on how it works.

I bet for Volg to win the champion fight by the way.

Kumi-chan needs to pick up boxing if she can make Mashiba take a down with one push LOLOLOL. Then maybe she'll understand how boxing is so fun with all the wins xD

One little jab and Coach got so mad LOL. He's so caring

Lot of the old Ippo's opponents come back to watch him win, only to get disappointed
Don't worry about it Miyata, Ippo is definitely going to be stronger.. hohoho

That telephone flicker though... "Gomu gomu no flicka". His real name must be Mashiba D. Ryo xD

That moment when Mashiba is scarier than the entire haunted house

Awww Ippo :(
