Manga-nouchi Monday! Under Siege - Ippo Makunouchi vs Takuzou Karasawa

[@chaosdromanah8620]

Hands down the most efficient performance of Ippo

[@randomanimefan1000]

Yeah... this was the one title match where Ippo just absolutely DOMINATED his opponent. You more or less got everything. Though some things that were missed in the MMV from the manga: 1. Itagaki points out how Karasawa's last punch, a left hook to escape to escape the corner, was textbook outboxer theory that both he and Kimura have used many times before. Basically showcasing how Ippo is truly becoming an expert at taking out outboxers. 2. Sanada acted as cornerman and is our main point of view for Karasawa's corner. As Karasawa went down, Sanada actually almost threw in the towel but was stopped by the head coach. Karasawa was actually heartbroken after the match since he thought that he was so weak he couldn't even pull out the dempsey roll from Ippo, but Sanada points out that Ippo was not holding back, and that the man Karasawa faced was Makunouchi Ippo at his most dangerous, a passionate boxer who sought to evolve and grow past the Dempsey roll. Karasawa would later thank the coach for sparring his feelings and letting him finish the match on his own terms. 3. This match is a precursor to the Itagaki Imai match, and Itagaki was looking over this fight to get an idea on how some of his tactics might work against Imai. Since Ippo absolutely destroyed Karasawa, Itagaki is forced to rework his strategy from scratch to counter Imai.

This is a practically perfect defense of ippo. He used the dempsey as a feint and took no damage. Thank you so much for reacting to this amazing manga! ^^

[@beaulavin8455]

The thing is ippo put a seal on the Dempsey roll after the sawamura fight because he realized he was so reliant on the Dempsey Roll that Ippo had to start boxing the way he us to

[@emanuelr.desousa6878]

Yes! I'm loving Manga-nouchi Monday already. Keep it up!

[@arturohartooro7369]

Hey, I love that you're doing this. I will be checking back every monday for more of this! Since you asked, here are my suggestions: - Don't refrain from pausing the action and giving a breakdown of the techniques on your own experience. Watching a martial artist's take is the most important part imo. - The problem with the MMV besides there being some fights missing is that they don't leave in the fighters in their corners, and the perspective of the seconds, the audience, etc. I think there is great value being lost there and it'd be a good idea to react to the manga by reading the fights at your own pace on any of the various websites that host it. The music adds some value, but it's not as important as getting a full picture of all aspects of the fight. That's all, thank you so much for doing this!

[@BurridgeMartialArts604]

It is a shame that they edit out the corner talk with the coaches but also I checked out a full version of the Randy Boy vs Miyata fight ad its 5 1/2 hours long with all the corner talk and everything else so it might not always be feasible to do it with that unfortuately! However, it will give me some exciting extra details when I get around to reading the manga myself!

[@drewdeem9304]

Pace was great!! Glad to see the reaction as well as break down what's happening. Can't wait for Miyata for Randy Boy Jr

[@UlvenDagoth]

Why did the original video go so fast? If this is at 1/3rd speed, how the heck did they expect anyone to process it?

[@jacksontyurch35]

Hey great improvments. Dont be afraid to pause and give a breakdown. I'm liking these

[@camiloiribarren1450]

Oh yes!! This manga reading definitely makes it so much better with the commentary. Next we gotta see Takamura vs Bison

[@View619]

You want to see Karasawa come back? Be careful what you wish for...

[@GodGamerXD]

The "problem" with Hajime no Ippo is, we can sympathize with every character, even with the "villains" and in the end you just want everyone to win.

[@TheRealClaylex]

God I felt bad for this dude. Got clapped by both Ippo and Itagaki

[@worthyedge9307]

Hell, he even contributed to their growth 😭

[@djsalad5752]

the return of makunouchi ippo monday!

[@vinceb.8363]

Loving these manga video's, you should do karasawa vs itagaki next if you wanna see more of him.

[@Serome17]

i know you are probably doing these videos in some kind of order but i can’t wait for when the wally vs ricardo fight finishes and you showcase that fight. so great

[@DarkHarlequin]

Pacing was great this time! As always don't hesitate to pause if you're breaking smth down 😊 I will see if I can find a playlist of chronological mmv fights (created one in a seperate comment).

[@aidenmurdoch]

This is awesome. Never seen this fight before.

[@dr.dylansgame5583]

I'd highly recommend the Manga only fight right after this against Keiichi Take. It's heartwarming he originally wants to back down and not fight him. But after people basically start calling him a coward he steps up to the plate. The reason I love this fight he shows both his experience and his heart as a long time professional similar to Date. And even finds a unique counter to tear apart the Peekaboo style throughout the fight. Best part is it's not absurdly short or long a decent enough length of panels to analyze. And this weakness he finds to the style is simple enough yet highly effective. And it's not some outboxing counter strategy like Sawamura. And it's not standard infighting the Dempsey Roll head on either like Shimabukuro. Though I will say it involved infighting sort of but not the kind Ippo's used to.

[@nasusgg8274]

this was great reaction!!! I REALY like this formula keep it up i hope we can get sawamora vs mashiba i hope some have mmv for it!

[@colebailey2578]

I don't know if this is your last video, but it's the latest one I could find so here goes: Kengan Asura is getting it's new season soon, so be sure to check it out!

[@chaosdromanah8620]

I recommend you check out Ippo vs Malcom Gedo

[@simplelife3020]

There's a channel called Vaske1234 which covered the Mashiba vs Sawamura fight. It's the first fight on the channel. It's in english. Check it out coach.

[@alonsohd1]

wow! what a great surprise! the manga fights are the best!!! you should do Volg Zangief vs Mike Elliot

[@MrLaz0rz]

I recommend checking out Vaske1234AMV channel, great ippo fights, edits and pacing. He has sawamura/mashiba if that's what you were talking about, something Chaos Rising

[@ultimateespada64]

He has most of it, his second part seems to have been taken down when I tried to watch it a few days ago.

[@MrLaz0rz]

@@ultimateespada64 ah I noticed that, he's very responsive and gave me some links to another site its hosted on if you ask.

[@MrLaz0rz]

and after getting banned a few times hes primarily on patreon now but its still the best around.

[@fleabox477]

Way better pacing this time with the slower playback speed, thanks for the video!

[@jewelsunniheartsfitnessanime]

Creator of ippo does well with japanese boxers having will power and karasawa has that will power

[@iam.thecaptain]

there is an interesting fight , ippo vs kojima , something we didn't see before

[@ryanpequenorei6303]

I think you should put some chat that the trainers in the match say,to be more fun. Still,NICE VIDEO!!!👍🏼

[@DarkHarlequin]

Second Comment: I made a playlist with all the english language MMVs I could find in chronological order (kzbin.info/aero/PLy6pizAGNUqo0OqOlhdJdWO8RuW7KLAy2 ). I know URLs in comments are always scetchy but I didn't know how else to share it (if you'd rather have it as a dm let me know). A few comments: - I started after the anime and excluded the 2 fights we already watched in manga form - I added 1-2 'connective tissue' video for what happens after the fight or in between for context. These are few minute snippets that imo help prime the fights/mood. Feel free to skip. - As you said quite a few fights are only available in spanish. A lot of them a minor, notable 'losses' are Ippo VS Malcom Geedo & Ippo VS Wally - I will keep adding to the list till we're up to date but it's a solid bit of work so I'll do it over time 😅

[@BurridgeMartialArts604]

thank you so much! I have bookmarked this playlist and will come back to check it out for updates! You are Awesome!

[@DarkHarlequin]

@@BurridgeMartialArts604 My pleasure 😊 2 quick things to add: - I added a 2 small videos (chapter 1149 before & 1153 after) which are not a fight at all but strongly inform the Ippo fight and are more about the psychology and consequences of fighting. This is a BIG theme in the series from a certain point on, it's hard to convey in fight mmvs but I thought I'd put at least that it in there. Your call if you view it or not 👍 - The 'Takamura VS Keith Dragon' fight in there only exists in spanish but I managed to kind of 'reconstruct' it in its own playlist here in english kzbin.info/aero/PLy6pizAGNUqrs3R8-lvIx7M1TmZEiH9MF Just if you want.

[@xsolders1679]

you should read full chapter cuz they cut some part in videos

[@Anderson-qm1ig]

Volg for the title best fight

[@willygoat8304]

Bison vs Takamura, do it. You owe it to the big guy

[@mannycuellar7426]

Letterkenny fights

[@okojjoko5716]

Hey man, not sure if this helps, but check out this channel. It's based on the most recent chapters that have come out. ATM its wally vs Riccardo.

[@cagriyuksel6448]

About the pacing there are people out there who purposefully slow down the rate of panels in their MMVs to let you follow the text and the action more easily Vaske1234amv has one of the highest quality MMVs out there but I don't think he has the earlier fights sadly. Julian is another great Channel for slower paced Panels like this match which is Mashiba vs Sawamura one of the best from the Manga IMO kzbin.info/www/bejne/jJO4qmeBrtmencU&ab_channel=Julian

[@BurridgeMartialArts604]

When it gets released I will definitely be checking out this fight! A lot of people asking for it but no MMV's out there for it unfortunately
