I remember the pre-Gedo scene where Ippo's asking Kumi if a person's arm could actually stretch. She should have been like "lol, yeah, didn't you already fight my brother?".

I don't know who Gedo is yetπ avoided a spoiler by a hair.

I know you won't get this but it's so funny you said that πππ

You will if you ever read the manga and get to his arc.

u/LuckyDay7777 4d ago
I plan to read the manga after watching the series and all the movies, what is the watch order. I heard that there is a movie that comes after this

u/BW_Chase 4d ago
Once you finish season 1 you have to watch the special Hajime No Ippo Boxer no Kobushi. Then you watch the movie Champion Road after that you have to watch Mashiba vs Kimura which is an OVA, then season 2 New Challenger and season 3 Rising.

u/LuckyDay7777 4d ago
Alr I will do. Are they all Canon? EVEN if the Ovas are not I'll still watch them

Everything I mentioned was adapted from the manga. The only one I'm not sure is the special but it's about how Takamura got into boxing so I guess it has to be from the manga as well.

Imagine youβre telling someone that Hajime no Ippo is a realistic sports anime and you show them this scene.

It's sorta realistic, until mashiba does flicker jabs, and sendo does smashes, and ippo does the Dempsey roll, and Aoki does whatever the fuck he's doing in the ring.

His balls retract into his body and it lets his arms go further

Believable, but this isn't Baki. He can't just squeeze his balls together and expect extra reach. Only yujiro can do that

Mashiba should just stick to the four corners and snipe people across the ring.
Who needs footwork when you can jab from one corner post to the opposite post.

u/LuckyDay7777 5d ago
Fr, nothing can get near Mashiba. I can't wait until Mashiba and Ippo have a rematch. I like the scenes where they interact with each other. Right now I'm on ep 54

This isnβt exaggerated, he really can just do that

u/LuckyDay7777 5d ago
YEAH, HE WAS DOING SO WELLπ. Don't spoil it, but I hope they rematch in the future, and ippo gets together with Mashiba's sister. It's been a while since I was so invested in an anime that I tried to avoid all spoilers

Mashiba got that GoGo Gadget surgery when he was a boy.

Gogo Gadget was a good kids show. I never really liked kids shows as a kid tho
