Takamura's Motivation

Tried to get this finished before college started because I sent it to Nijikon. I loved Takamura's fight and it's one of the best moments I've ever encountered in an anime.
Unfortunately I couldn't find the episodes in full hd, or even raw, therefore it's pretty low quality and even though it didn't get any prize I am pretty proud of it because it had a decent mark and the judges were great.
Enjoy!

[@srijitbhattacharya5429]

Same brother same. I came home after an insane ( as per my standard) back and bicep workout and was gorging on pad Thai when I saw the scene. I kept the rest in my fridge. That scene hits so deep

[@genshin1015]

He may seem like a character for comedy . But i assure you, Takamura and Sendou are the best characters in The entirity of hajime no ippo. The sheer dedication of takamura to win 6 belts in 6 different weight class all for coach kamogawa always brings me tears

[@CannedPsycho-]

Hajime no Ippo is really great at being both comedic and serious at the same time. Takamura, the character who jokes around and plays the clown the most, is also the one most serious about boxing which is his passion. He can be so nonchalant because he is strong, but his strength comes from the endless blood and sweat he pours into his work. Not everyone who works hard is rewarded, as we can see with Aoki and Kimura, but all those who succeed have worked hard, such as Takamura. tl;dr: Work hard, Play hard.

[@frhmm]

@@CannedPsycho- i wouldn't say aoki and kimura haven't succeeded, they actually have amazing records. it's just unfortunate they can't make it past their country championships, but if they ever will, their world rankings would be insanely high

[@adityannair3278]

​@@frhmmkimura represents us in whole general An average guy despite doing hardwork will remain average Those who have talent and the power to evolve further will rule the world example takamura Ironically most of us are kimura we have average talent so despite being doing hardwork we remain average only a selected few reaches the top And ippo is an example of talent+hardwork both not hardwork He has talent but it will take some time to tap into that talent so he has to practice Very few may come in that category too Some have talent but they need to make some effort to polish that talent And the remaining 75 percentage are just average who will remain average Ohh yeah and those who gives up just go on a endless bottomless pit

[@frhmm]

@@adityannair3278 kimura's anything BUT average, as i said, he has a record boxers would KILL for. that is an amazing feat and he also almost beat mashiba. who is insanely talented and skilled. if only that unfortunate right didn't hit. mashiba was scared shitless if you want a perfect example of average, i'd probably say kobayashi is

[@51dodoc]

@@Persona3Yukari Yes it is but if you don't do it you will end up fighting much bigger guys. PS: to people who said that I exaggerated or that it's not that common keep in mind that many ufc lightweights (so the 155 division) admitted that they walk around 200lbs.

[@ayoubkhalil1]

​@@51dodoc Tbh it's cap. I'm 200 and for me to get 155 I'd need to go full catabolic. If you removed all my fat rn I wouldn't weigh 155. Lowest is probably 165 (and i mean remove ALL fat). So these guys saying their 200 normal weight is big cap. 200 if they're fat, yes. But def not 200 with an atheletic build.

[@T0XIN21]

would crack open the ring floor :P

[@haloborn6785]

his right is his strongest

[@daringdarius5686]

to keep in mind, it was only powerful because it was a counter that made use of his weight and gravity, while the opponent no longer had any way to absorb the shock nor dodge in his position taking the full damage of the hit. Otherwise, Takamura on the brink of just collapsing from exhaustion would've hardly been any better on his right. It's these details that highlight the director, especially how good the show is, beyond the technique and choreagraphy. probably going to butcher the line, but "Your Coach always impresses me. He always has his teachings steeped in some scientific idea/rule". -the girl who massages Ippo's muscle during training episode 58-ish? That's exactly how I view the show. It takes the time to not only show "real" boxing (as real as it could ever be in an anime), but also puts science, and everything else in. (I cut myself off short b/c I realize I'm nerding out about a show I saw years ago, have a good day!)
