Takamura Mamoru !
Beyond awesome.
Hawk's handshake.
Can't wait for their match.
I wonder where Itagaki ran off to. Haven't seen him in a while.
Easily one of my favorite lead-ups to one of my favorite fights in this series. Great ep.
First series I've followed in YEARS.
Goddamn Ippo > *
I understand they wanted some flesh for the title match... but Hawk really is too much. They've been overboard with him I think.
I'm a bit sad they also had Ippo's match turning into such an insignificant part of the ep and I don't think we'll have a surprise regarding his opponent. Even the way it was done was a tad cheap, that Korean having an injured foot...
That's the only reason I can think of, he couldn't move it and get proper footing for a strong right counter.
All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.
I think that little chin graze did more than just graze his chin. Like in the 2nd Ichiro vs Ippo fight in the first season.
Yeah, me too! I thought the geezer was gonna own him right then and there..
Well, I hoped anyway...
Now... we can click as warriors... button to button, it is the basis of all internet.
Only a fool trusts his life to a virus.
Because eventhough it seems to be watched by a lot of people here, there isn't much talking about it.Originally Posted by Inazuma
The thing is there isn't much to say, the anime is efficient and simple at making you boil, without much to be said about the story or material presented.
Maybe in the last episodes you could argue about a 20kg weight reduction for Takamura when he hadn't much fat to begin with... That seemed to be a tad exagerated.

[SZN & I-O] Hajime no Ippo New Challenger - 20 [720p][0254221F].mkv
Aasasubs had it out earlier, but I didn't want to post that one because their subs suck.
Same here Marik, same here....but thanks!
Yup, I failed to compute that and it only struck me back in the first second of ep 20, right before the coach explains it.Originally Posted by LaZie
Other than that, ep 20 was a tension riser one, too bad we have to wait one full week for next ep, a double airing would have been nice to get stuck on that pressure and have ep21 right after.
Regarding Hawk, I highly doubt he's a total natural, as it has been pointed out, no one has such a body without hard training.
And if he was already there for such a long time in Japan, it was to reduce jetlag effects and be fully prepared.
I think we'll be told that as of yet he was so strong that it was boring to him, thus his attitude to create the maximum attention, hatred or whatever to spice things and up finaly get a tough opponent.
Regarding the flashy entrances, well I think it was too much, I do not know boxing that much, but to me it isn't like that, is it?
Costumes and such are related to catch which is more about show and acting for the pleasure of the audience, but I might be wrong.
