[@Raxarion]

The real hardcore moment was in Takamura's home , when you realise he was putting an act of it all being easy . The sheer amount of determination that Takamura showed by resisting his hunger, while literally being in front of his fridge , that really hit deep.

[@amuroray9115]

He’s a boss

[@Darthzilla99]

Both Rikiishi in Ashita no Joe and Takamura in Ippo do a great job in showing the extremities in dropping weight classes.

[@noordiana6549]

yeah,takamura really have to tie his belly with a mattress to ease his hunger,thats an animal

[@ArchingRock]

The hunger he had to resist is no joke (and don't even get me started on his weight control before fighting Bryan Hawk). Takamura's inhuman, and that word's an understatement.

[@USMC49er]

One of my favorite scene is when Ippo's bully watches his boxing match and quickly becomes his fan by showing him off to his delinquent buddies.

[@amineouerdani8692]

takamura being naturally a heavy weight , having to lose like 20 kg to be in the middle junior weight , having to follow a drastic routine to be able to play in this category , you can't help but have respect for that

[@AS-Stardust]

Fortunately he has been able to go up in weight class as he conquers world championships.

[@cap-ml7ky]

yh, this gave me perspective. I've always thought that boxers that go under their weight class are cheap to get a size advantage.

[@TACOCactus69]

​@@cap-ml7kyyou know their losing all that weight its not just fat but muscle. That means their losing a lot of their strength and the only advantage they have is height at most.

[@k.rick_9993]

⁠@@cap-ml7kyThey do still have an advantage over the guys who weigh closer to the weight limit in physical strength.

[@amineouerdani8692]

​@@AS-Stardustyeah i think for now he did conquered 4 categories so each time he take on a highter category , he gets close to his prime or at least his natural weight which means being more stronger

[@TheNightower]

Takamura at the end of the video saying to Ippo like if going to gym is to just making friends then stop boxing coz in world of boxing, it's a war between 2 fighters. Setting aside the differences and frienship. Once in the ring, 2 fighters are in battle mode with no remorse or holding back. It's not like literally you can't have friends in gym but you need to learn to set aside everything once in the ring.

[@naiustheyetti]

its also less about the boxing aspect and more about training. if you only work out to hang with friends then you aren't gonna reach your potential since your just their to hangout.

[@TheNightower]

@@naiustheyetti exactly. Since Ippo strived to be a professional boxer, he has to learn to set aside what's holding him back to achieve his full potential. And look what he is now, a strong boxer. He learned by listening to Takamura and other companions in gym about what it means to be a professional boxer.

[@c.galindo9639]

Somewhat true. He meant to say that what he strives for should be within him and no outer aspect guiding him to his goal

[@tigarasab784512]

[@Guile1117]

no Takamura is super middle weight, but said he wants to move to heavy weight one day

[@jamminjago]

Yes but, a large portion of his physical conditioning came from all the work he did for his family's fishing company. Not everyone would do as well as fast.

@@kaelthunderhoof5619 what line

[@kaelthunderhoof5619]

@@tuilleri there's like a line that Takamura made in the tree that he used to train Ippo (the one where he catch leaves). He said that in order to get to the top of the boxing world you need to stop being friendly to your opponent or being soft so if he wanted to be a world champion he must cross that line and prove himself to Takamura. Like you need to be prepared to kill them in the ring, like a Mike Tyson mentality. But Ippo is still scared to cross that line

[@jillian3654]

3:49 huh... That actually holds a lot more weight now given the recent events in the manga...

[@Squashylemon]

While I love the fights in Ippo, I was always annoyed with how boring Ippo ended up being as a character. He really only ever gets stronger throughout the show physically, and never changes as a person. He's incredibly boring throughout the entire show. Like, where is his personal life, where is his family, his potential gf/wife, where is the changes to his personality as he gets older.... All we get is him getting physically strong and that's it.... I mean he's still afraid of everyone around him even though he has knocked the fuck out of people 30 times stronger than most humans around him.

[@kartoffel8559]

You say that characters like Ippo are boring, I say that Dragon Ball and One Piece have a flat character that never changed and it's in the Top 3 manga. Even Naruto. Now say what you say but the main purpose of Ippo is discovering what it means to be strong, as Gokū purpose is to become stronger and fight stronger opponents, as Luffy wants to become King of Pirates and as Naruto wants to become an Hokage.

[@Squashylemon]

@kartoffel8559 even Goku and Naruto eventually become fathers and grow as characters though.... sure Goku doesn't grow much but, he still has a family and makes hard decisions that affect not just him but the ones he loves i mean he dies more than once for his family. Naruto literally becomes the Ninja equivalent of a president.... what does Ippo do? He trains to get stronger....... he never has a family, he never does anything other than fight, we never learn about his dad, he doesn't start a boxing gym of his own, he doesn't train another rookie, he doesn't lose a friend, he doesn't change his mind about boxing or have second thoughts... He just fights that's it. He is one of the most boring characters in anime.

[@kartoffel8559]

@@Squashylemon You read Hajime no Ippo ? Because sure, as a "slice of life manga", Ippo can't have stakes that are going harder than others, but he sure lost friends (Naomichi) and had quite hard decisions to make like retirement. Takamura changed his mind on boxing when he said "You are not a monster and you will never cross this line if you never become a monster". Ippo still never crossed this line today, so his "character development" has to implie him crossing this line as he becomes a monster. Honnestly, what I think is that Sendo will loose his world title match against Ricardo and Ippo will come out of retirement and have one more goal : beeing Ricardo's nemesis. And well Ippo and Kumi relationship is still desastrous as Ippo never makes a move but he tried to kiss her before beeing interrupted by Mashiba so we are close to it about that ! Also, out of topic but if you want to watch an anime about boxing with more of character development and such a sad story, I highly recommend you Ashita no Joe.

[@Squashylemon]

@kartoffel8559 again that all has to do with him just fighting.... not continuing to grow but, just finding reasons to fight, which is literally all he does from episode 1 sure he grows from a whimp to a fighter but, then thats it he just fights. I thought the retirement part was in those specials they did not the main series? Also, isn't it frustrating that 9 times out of 10 the anime never covers what happens in the Manga. It's almost always better in the Manga. To be clear I was talking about the anime version of Ippo. Oh and I did see that anime Ashita no Joe it was good, I should go back and finish it sometime.

Then judge yourself where you're currently at and make goals that are achievable for you. If you're gonna judge yourself based on somebody else, even if they're fictional, then the work they do at their current level will scare you away; just as you've implied. That's their level, and the work they need to do in order to improve, not yours.
