Ah I miss this show, Thank God this is back.

The fight is awesome. I was cheering for Ippo of course. Sawamura's fighting style is awesome, same goes for the OST. The way his style is shown with the gun makes him that damn fearsome. Geez, Ippo's mouth brace got knocked out.

This fight is absolutely beautiful, I was hoping Ippo would pull out his new Dempsey Roll in this episode but hey no rush. This match is one of the best in the Ippo series without a doubt.

His trap was perfect, and to think that all that cheating in the beginning was to get makunouchi worked up, especially him being a in fighter, i wonder if the 'new' dempsey roll would do anything

I liked it, it was good. But I waited for three weeks for new episode, and now I need to wait yet another to see best things in this fight. But still, it was epic. If next one is really 1h special, I am really looking forward to new episode.

Nice ep. The fight will probably go for another 2.5 eps, can't wait for the latter stages. Thought the animation coulda been a bit better, too many still frames with a shaking effect to give "impact".

But it says "はじめの一歩 Rising #12&#13"

So ep. 12 and 13 together?

I don't know if it's just me or I'm having a bad day or something, but I felt the fight quite meh so far. I was excited when Sawamura teased Ippo when Kumi almost touches his motorcycle like 4 weeks ago or something, maybe the waiting ruined it for me :/ In fact even I've been enjoying this season a lot but I feel the build up to this fight was weak, mostly on the Ippo side, though I really liked the blows Ippo connected, and Sawamura has good wood. I'll have to save my expectations for next week! 55 min sounds so promising! or maybe re-watch when I'm having a better time.

I loved the red lightning with the bullet. I am used to the games so I thought it was going to be super fast, but the speed in the anime works in a very realistic sense. His senko is still one of my favorite moves. I still feel that Miyata is the better boxer because he puts a "risk" into his boxing. Sawamura in a way feels like he requires little to no risk. Sawamura's counters are about torturing while Miyata is about the instant kill, but Miyata has his foot work which also makes him distinctive in comparison to Sawamura who doesn't really use his feet.

But I still hope the anime shows how Sendo and Sawamura know each other.

Great ep. I like how everyone is watching the fight and rooting for Ippo. Was very surprised when Miyata said that Sawamura's a better counter puncher than him (maybe he's being modest?) If Ippo beats Sawamura, then Miyata's gonna have to improve to close the gap and then he's gonna be too far and Ippo's gonna have to close the gap. Seriously how many gaps must be closed?!!!

Sawamura's face was priceless. You can see he's getting irritated by Ippo's tenacity. Also, I must say Ippo's become quite strong to be able to doge such fast counters!!!!!

He tripped Ippo several times, WTH! Does he mean to tenderize Ippo that much? >_< People are meatbags to him anyway except he's got special liking to taste Makunouchi all this time.

I was a bit surprised at how the first round went, but Sawamura really turned it up after that. Ippo has to sway back and forth to get past Sawamura's left? The trap is that he wants Ippo to use the Dempsey Roll and then counter it I'm guessing.

Also, Ippo's face was inches away from the matt before he got back up. I thought it was for sure a down, but welcome to anime hahaha.

Eh, idk about others but the start of the match was disappointing. The way Sawamura was boxing and those faces he made was really weird. I thought he was fearsome like Sendo so he'd be more bold in confronting Ippo...
Also great to see good old OST again but I couldn't feel an ounce of intensity coming from the fight. Also, the way VA was forcing his voice for Ippo came off very sluggish to me.

This is getting tense. Sawamura's d pose is really threatening, Ippo must find a way to get a good reedom. It's obvious his liver punches damaged him so if he can dodge his punches enough he will destroy Sawamura at some point.
I have one thing clear and it's that blood is gonna run in this battle.
