| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Ah, so great to see Vorg back. Run, Vorg run! Damn, I also noticed his skills improved. I really like how Ippo takes him on in the ring already. Good old times. http://i.imgur.com/jQ5ToUv.png |

| That was awesome!! Volg totally owned Ippo. The animation during that punch was sooooo gooood >.< Ippo got knocked the hell out of his mind XD Good Bye Volg u will be missed. Best parting gift ^^ And the end was awesome with Ippo figuring out how to do this and what he needs :D |
 |
| Great episode, really liked the OST. Sadly I knew something like that would happen this week, freaking manga-fans, even with that the punches during the sparring were awesome. LOL at team Aoki thinking Volg was a noob wtf?? I don't know why but it is until now that I realize how much I like Takamura, way more than Ippo, still is great that he doesn't get to be the main character all the time, but he IS the real boxer of essence |
| Damn Vorg held back that punch and if Ippo was fighting his challenger he could have died!? Thank god for Vorg then and I can't wait to see ippo's evolved Dempsey Roll. I've been seeing a little preview of that shit in the OP and it look so bad ass, ippo looks like a demon. Cant wait for this match! |
NiN10d0h said: Well, Ippo is pretty much ass in spars so no surprise there. Waiting for the match. Is that why you think he lost? Ippo is not ass in spars. |
| Ippo really gave his best in that match and that's exactly why it will help him a lot. Now that he figured out a way to defeat him I'm sure he will do it , he's been in even worse situations in the past. Great episode 5/5. And dat animation <3 HNNNG |
 |
| Amazing episode with some of the best animation to date. Can't wait for the actual fight even if I've already read every chapter of the manga. Seeing all of it in motion will be so good. Despite how good this episode is it brings back up one complaint I have about this series. Some characters dependence on certain finishing moves. Like Ippo and his Dempesey Roll. He should be good enough of a boxer to be able to win without such a technique and eith just pure skill and strenght. Just like how Sawamura, Ricardo Martinez and especially Takamura does it. But nonetheless, it stays my second favorite manga/anime ever. |
 |
| Amazing OST, the scene of the departure of Vorg with Ippo's mother, was fucking sad. Now can't wait to see Ippo's Dempsey to evolve once again. Oh, the pop-rock OST in the end, might be a preview of the next ending theme? NiN10d0h said: Well, Ippo is pretty much ass in spars so no surprise there. Waiting for the match. ?? |

| Holy shit..Madhouse!!! they took it to another level..!! http://im39.gulfup.com/BE3YQ.jpg the sparring match was awesome specially R3! Vorg/Ippo's Mother scene was sad..! and the OST <3 loved the episode.. 5/5 |
| if that was the case.. why not do the dempsy roll when the opponent is cornered? like sendo technique in corners.. then it's still a blind spot.. but still vulnerable to counters though |
 |
| The problem with Ippo's Dempsey roll is he always required that swinging motion in order to pull the punches. Granted, Jack Dempsey also do that swinging motion but not to a certain extent as Ippo and the barrage of punches can come off as unpredictable for the opponent because he doesn't know when Dempsey is gonna pull it off. But then again, it's the punch that use most of the time since Dempsey is a fucking brawler. Watch this video for example: http://youtu.be/N2DPGFWT_Zc 0:33 Also, i remember from an interview where Muhammad Ali claims that he can easily beat Dempsey excluding in a brawl or exchange of punches. |

| Ippo is out cold lol what a counter punch by Vorg |
| there goes volg...i'll miss him again :( |
 |
| Ippo, Japanese Featherweight boxing champ known for almost effortlessly taking down some the biggest, strongest, and most ruthless boxers in the whole world.........taken down in ONE punch by a man who hasn't boxed in over a year. Nice... AGAIN, THIS OST THOUGH <3<3<3 |

| This is episode was so amazing. I was absolutely captivated. Great pacing and perfect use of the soundtrack. It really blew me away.

I'm just curious because this is my favourite anime of all time so we might have similar tastes. |
| Glad it showed him saying farewell to Ippo's mother wonder if Ippo is gonna be able to change his dempsey roll's rhythm |
| Making the Dempsey Roll unpredictable by changing the rhythm puts stress on the legs and back, it's long term use is probably damaging. X_X I'm grateful that he really can think for himself now and aware that coach left it to him to realize it and decide. Ah Volg left for America, I don't read the manga but I hope to see him again in the future as he promised. |
| You see there's no need to wonder where your god is, Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy. |
| A great episode :D great pacing, visuals and soundtrack as usual. I love Volg and he was magnificient in this ep. I hope he starts winning in actual fights. |
| Wow, that was the best episode yet. i loved every second of it. |
| Awesome Episode, so motivational. That insert song near the end was by Pay money To my Pain - Weight of my pride. Same guys who did the OP for One Outs, love this track so much!! |
| This season of Hajime no Ippo is amazing. Great ost, animation and action, and this episode was no different. |
| Volg! Sad to see him go.. Thanks to him Ippo has now found out his weakness and found a way to overcome it. Can't wait to see the fight between Sawamura. |
 |
| Vorg just got here and now he's leaving..that sucks |
 |
| I think this had to be one of the best epds of Rising thus far. 5/5 BTW animation, and OST were Amazing! |
| Glorious Titties Nuff Said! Make America Great Again! |
Nasty001 said: If you say that his is filler you don't know what filler is. All of this was in the manga. There is no need for fillers, the anime is even skipping a lot of things. Personally I'd want them to make as much of the manga into the anime but that would make the anime go on forever.Oh fuck, just a filler episode, GET THAT FIGHT GOING ALREADY!!!! |

I know who's who. What I was saying is that when Ippo is doing his Dempsey Roll in the OP he looks like a demon. Also both Ippo and Sawamura are in the OP, it's like a little preview of their match. |

Haha, you're right, that is a pretty boring answer but it's respectable nonetheless. Despite being drastically different, I think HnI and One Piece share one important thing in common. Both shows keep getting better while expanding the world they're set within. The reason why I personally think HnI is the superior show, however, is because I find it more relatable since it's set in a much more realistic setting, because I think it's funnier and because I think that One Piece has really decreased in quality ever since the time skip. I actually think that the time skip destroyed all of the momentum the show worked so long to build up and it hasn't been as good ever since. Pre time skip, I don't know which show I would say is better though. Either way, both are great and I can't wait for next weeks episode! I'm dying to see Ippo vs Sawamura!! This fight can't come fast enough |
| Wow... Vorg destroyed ippo :/ Hope ippo can learn :D |
