They didn't skip anything. Champion's Road the TV Movie, covered Ippo's title defense against Kazuki Sanada, chapters 290-314. New Challenger picks up right after, starting with chapter 315.
I knew there was something strange as I kinda remembered that fight with Sanada... he was the doctor right? Or someone studying to become one so he had to choose between boxing and becoming a doctor...
Yes. I think it confuses people, because the anime did it out of order.
Manga = Mashiba vs. Kimura, chapters 270-289. --> Ippo vs. Sanada, chapters 290-314.
Anime = Champion's Road TV Movie - Ippo vs. Sanada --> OVA - Mashiba vs. Kimura.
They wanted Ippo to be featured in the movie, so they did it backwards.
You are totally right, my bad.
I double check before and must have forgot about the movie that feature the Sanada fight.
This is good news, Never have been a boxing fan, but Ippo actually made me look it up.It's definitely one of my favorite anime. I always felt like the anime needed more and here it is years later.
I missed the intensity, passion and spirit of this anime.
Gonna wait a while before i download or watch any episode. Just so I can watch it all one after the other.

Hi! Question, is this subbed in english? Or is it a dual audio? And which one is better? The first one or 2nd?
Thanks!
The first one are dvdrips, dual audio, so that should be better quality. The second link are fansubs, so they are tv rips. But that second torrent has the movie and OVA. So I would get all of the first one, and just get the movie and OVA off the second one.
Okay hanks for that! Oh! One more question, Is the quality of the 2nd link watchable? or should I stick to the first one? Because I already started my download with the second link.
That's what I watched and have archived. Never bothered to get dvdrips.
Okay Thanks! You've been a great help!
I didn't see the elbow thing coming, very convenient to be in the right range.
But I knew it was obviously something coming from the right first time I heard "Bloody Cross" last ep.
Nice way of putting things, nice atmosphere and suspens. I just hope Myata doesn't come up with a counter for the anti-counter. But up till now I don't remember that show being to unrealistic on technics, only in power and stamina for show and suspens reasons.
All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.
After first seeing this thread, I got all of Hajime no Ippo and started watching it. Unfortunately for me, I was out of episodes after about 4 days.... because I marathoned it.
So, so good. Ippo is the man.
When I checked out the wiki to see how many manga chapters there were, there's like, 800+?!?!? I guess after this new season finishes I'll have to go after that.
I'm looking forward to seeing what this season brings, but I hate not being able to watch it all in one go.
Regarding Myata again...
I guess his only option is grow a little and accept he can win a match on power alone. After all his build is incredibly stronger than before, and being at the weight limit as dry as he his, he's got maximum muscle allowed by his build and category.
At some point, he'll have to overcome what happened to his father and grow a little.
It's impossible to become a champion if you prevent yourself from using most of the technics allowed only on a belief or childhood shock.
Moreover, the stronger he becomes, the stronger the oponents, and without power he's sure to be unable to finish his opponents in the future.
Also, having only one finishing blow is a great weakness.
By accepting he can also finish matches on power alone, he'll have a more complete set of options he can choose from with his incredible match readings and wits.
For example, he wouldn't be able to win against Ippo without using lots of power. Even if power alone wouldn't let him win, without using a great deal of it he'd be finished.
All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.
For whatever reason, I was a little disappointed with the first episode. I'll wait until a handful of them come out before making a final opinion but it's weird... I'm not feeling the same tension or excitement a typical HnI episode had. Maybe because I've been keeping up with the manga?
Something's missing from the first ep that I can't quite put my finger on. Maybe because they're just jumping right into the fight? Usually the fights are more exciting because we're treated to exercise montages and story buildup that builds up tension. Or maybe I'm just being picky and should be simply grateful that they're animating this series again =P
Just wait until Ippo is the main attraction once again.
Dirty speed-sub of ep 3 to tide us till a sub proper is released: http://isohunt.com/download/62218281/ippo.torrent
Post watch edit: This series is honestly becoming everything I could hope for in the continuation of the HNI story. It has the intensity of the first season and only mildly compromises manga content, and even that is mostly just in timing/sequence. In short; my prayers have been answered with this one (long time ippo fan)!

I agree. Even though I read the manga and know exactly what happens next, the anime still has be on the edge of my seat wanting more... and it just keeps getting better later on..
Yah, I really liked how this ep captured the intensity of this fight and I was digging the soundtrack for the first time. I guess I didn't have to wait until Ippo became the main attraction haha =]
