@@trythis2006I just casually started watching the show without thinking but damn the show got me hooked on first 1 - 2 episodes and became my fav anime its peak no doubt
When you think about it, Kamogawa really was an absolute monster... He just punched a man who is not only several weight classes above him but also could potentially be very close to the world champion level of his own weight class. He only had to punch him twice (with broken fists mind you) to completely destroy him.... Such a goddamn powerhouse this man was holy shit
That and Nekota literally danced around said world champ-class fighter How awesome would it be to have some scifi bullshit to bring both Nekota and Kamogawa to the present and spar with Ippo and co.
The fact this boxing match/ side movie was made long ago and had one of the best animations. The sakuga/ impact frames were so impressive. I can really feel the writers passion for animating this masterpiece. Both the movie and series
Fun fact: the trainer of Anderson is Miguel Zale who eventually went on to coach Bryan Hawk. So funnily enough the Takamura Hawk fight was actually Miguel Zale's second encounter with Kamogawa in boxing. I completely missed this when watching the anime somehow, only just realised it now that I'm at this point in the manga
Fun fact. That's Mamoru Miyano, the same guy that voiced Light Yagami from Death Note and Shuu Tsukiyama from Tokyo Ghoul! I couldn't believe it was him at first!
+Derek Collins HOLY SHIT!! I rewatched Tokyo ghoul a week ago and now I can actually hear the voice 😭😭 Kamogawa: ATTAAAAAACK Shuu: KANEEEEEEEEKI Wow that's amazing
There is no way that dude survived after this fight. Dudes got broken ribs and punctured organs lmao. The way he slammed onto the canvas when he fell was brutal.
the shear passion of kamogawa is insane , that blow to his liver , his lungs , his ribs shattered in to millions of pieces and also every other organ shaking around is truly an iron fist
kamogawa has always been one of my favourite characters and this scene.... his determination and rage just... incredible. also shout out to the absolutely perfect va's in this show and especially in this scene, the way this clip is voiced is so incredible
Can you imagine if Kamogawa had been a modern-day (Ippo's time) boxer, having access to good gym equipment and good guidance? He'd be able to be one of Japan's world title holder! Mad respect to him and Nekota.
@@kleboldklesoldyeah but imagine he actually trained his body his speed he would be a heavy ass hitter enough power to shatter your ribs with one good punch
Modern centric philosophy is overrated. The crudeness and rawness of training of the early days built tough minded and bodied boxers. Modern boxers can barely make it 12 rounds and they used to box over 20 rounds back in the day.
***** Yup. The voice actor for Nekota died before this episode came out too. He was the original voice of Korin from DBZ. So I guess it was dedicated to the both of them T_T
Ismail Abd Khalil I meant as the strongest boxer. And the first one to achieve Kamogawa's goal of a world champion boxer. Obviously, Takamura already has all those, so it is Ippo's turn now.
***** Ah, I see. Well, it'll take some time before Ippo can become the World Champion. First thing's first, he's gotta make a comeback after that recent loss.
I love it how in the mangaprobably my favorite part of the entire series is when itagaki told kamogawa that ippo was driving logs in the side of the hill and he immediately shot up and said "IS HE DOING IT WITH HIS FISTS!!" and itagaki was like "no he had a hammer, only the worlds stupidest person would ever try and do something like that with your fist"
0:48 to 1:07 is pure art. The animation, emotion, dialogue, and even the ost cutting out so you hear nothing but that body shot all blended together beautifully.
Thats what i just realized, what makes this fight so intense and absolutely raw compared to previous ones, no music what so ever. Pure emotion, and it works so well, it has such a different atmosphere and i always wondered why
I remember reading this on the HnI reddit, but this entire arc was symbolic of the war (WWII). The title of the post is "Kamogawa's story: literal v. Literary reading". In essence, the symbolism revolves around Nekota, the heart of Japan and its optimism, Yuki, the body and hope of Japan, and Kamogawa, the Japanese unshakable spirit and willpower. As for Anderson, he represents the seemingly invincible force known as America. Just as America did not pay heed to the symbolic head of Japan and directly attacked its body with Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Anderson attacks the body of people as well. He takes out Nekota and, indirectly, Yuki. Here, Kamogawa acts as the center of Japan's "revenge story" and destroys Anderson, symbolizing America, in a similar fashion. His two punches each represent the nukes that destroyed Japan's hope and optimism. His fists represent total destruction. But this arc was just a mythological retelling, and now Kamogawa has a new role, to recover what was lost: talent and hope. Ty to u/McFaberack for this literary analysis because now I can never watch this fight without tearing up LMAO
Here is the original post bc idk if I can post links: In a previous post (speculating on a possible confrontation between Kamogawa and Hawk), it was discussed how the fight between Kamogawa and Anderson is unrealistic. Quotes from that discussion: - Kamogawa only won against Anderson because this is a manga where a character drove a log into a hill with his fist and didn't shattered every bone the arm and shoulder. - Top 5 in the world boxer that got beaten by a unknown Bantamweight These are two quotes I took as a model of the argument that that fight is not to be taken seriously as it is obviously ridiculous and over the top.While I AGREE that, if you take the fight at face value, it is very silly and unrealistic (hitting logs into a hill with your bare hands is not an effective form of training, for obvious reasons), I think it is appropriate to look at this story from a literary perspective to understand what it is talking about. First of all, the context: Coach Kamogawa is, as far as his status in the tale is concerned, a mythological figure, a founding figure for the characters. He is the head of the kamogawa gym and its founder, as well as the origin of the "dream" that Ippo and Takamura are carrying out. It is therefore evident that, when his story is told, it undergoes an abrupt change of tone from what we are used to in the rest of the story. The atmosphere becomes darker, there is an ancient nostalgia that lingers throughout the tale. This is not the original tale anymore, it is the founding myth of Hajime no Ippo, so you should read it with the eye of the myth reader. In addition to Kamogawa's personal story (and the beginning of the story of Hajime no Ippo itself), the history of Japan is added, so that the characters within it become the representatives of aspects of historical characters (specifically America and Japan). We must remember that at that time, Japan had just emerged from a war that had seen them humiliated and broken. The three protagonists represent three elements of Japan: - Nekota is the heart of Japan, he embodies optimism, hope for the future, energy and growth potential. His immense talent represents the possibility of Japan's recovery and revenge. However, Nekota's potential is shattered, he cannot realistically be realized due to brain damage. - Yuki is the body and hope of Japan. She is the potential from which new life can be born, and her possible union with Nekota or Kamogawa fills both of them with hope. She is the inspiration for Kamogawa and Nekota and brings the promise of a new generation filled with Japan's spirit (her love of sunflowers recalls the Japanese love of the sun, the path of which every Japanese follows when they look at the national flag). - Kamogawa represents the Japanese spirit, imperturbability, recklessness and willpower. His vision is more cynical (realistic?) and less optimistic than Nekota's. Having said that, the time has come to answer the central question: why did the fight between Anderson and Kamogawa HAD to go (precisely) that way, regardless of "realism" and "phisical accuracy"? Because what Kamogawa brings to the ring is all that I just mentioned above, while Anderson becomes the proxy for America. Anderson si big, strong and seems invincible. He already took down the best of Japan (Nekota) and all that remains is the sheer stubbornness of not giving up. The way in which Kamogawa defeats Anderson is meant to be a mirror of the way in which America defeated Japan. America didn't went for the head, didn't try to kill the generals, the emperor or everything that symbolizes the "head" of Japan, they dropped two bombs on the body of japan (cities and citizens). In the same fashion, Kamogawa's mission is to drop two "bombs" back on Anderson's (America's) body, leaving him broken just as America broke Japan before. Anderson becomes the sacrificial lamb of Japan's desire for revenge, he is directly responsible of Japan's youth defeat (Nekota) and indirectly responsible (as an american military) of the poisoning of Japan's land (Yuki). At the end, once revenge is accomplished, both Japan's talent and hope (Nekota and Yuki) must disappear (they go up the mountain, another mythical trope that i won't explain this time XD), since Japan has lost both his potential and his hope for the future. The only one that remains is Kamogawa, that now that the revenge is done, is left with a new purpose, to recover what was lost: talent and hope. And that's why I think that you souldn't read this particular arc in the same way you read the others: it's a memory, it's a myth and it has a narrative structure that requires an improbable outcome (as is Japan beating America militaty wise). I hope that my rambling was clear enough (english is not my native language) and I hope that you enjoyed it! If you have other ideas or perspectives, please share them as I will be delighted to read them!
Ah yes the spirit of the world war 2 Japanese. Raping and murdering innocent people in Korea and China and too this day refuse to acknowledge forcing Korean women to perform sexual slavery for their soldiers. You know to the point NBC had to offer an apology when Koreans were pissed because their analyst at the Olympics said Japan contributed to Korea. It’s hilarious how Japan brushes their massacres under the rug and whine and cry about being occupied. But I guess that’s to be expected when your education system literally denies the atrocities everyone else knows you committed. I’d love to see the manga about the Japanese rape of Nanking. But we’ll never see that because the Japanese to this day deny they did anything 🤣 They’ll keep crying about being occupied though. I know one thing. I’ll sure never go to war if China invaded Japan. They can fight that one on their own and write a manga about it. If any of them are left to write manga 😂
With the caviat that this story speaks about a tremendously terrible, dishonorable with prisoners and their own young conscripts, criminal, abusive, in a way cowardly etc dictatorial country like Japan, its territories and its state, then the soviet regime who truly would have brought, like with anybody they occupied, hell to Japan, its population and territory (and also dethroned the emperor and not respected the imperial institution or anything else of Japan) which, luckily for Asia, Japan and everybody else in the world, could never act on its plans because the US reached first and everything was solved there and then the same America that itself literally made Imperial Japan, the losing side in its conquest goals (the same Japan who would've completely annihilated its own population first, besides the entirety of Asia and hundreds of thousands of american soldiers, had the war continued beyond 1945 and had the war not seen the nuclear bombs put to use by Truman), recovered, supported, improved, new, on the scene again and many other things, and that was that before going away and leaving everything to the japanese governments with the given resources, tools and foundations. So much for the evil occupiers. One could say, ''not exactly'' like a guy like Anderson and everything that he embodies... It's good and greatly put as well, it's all great storytelling - besides Kamogawa and the fighting events being so great already - and it's a nice homer story by the author, but the real context and the real pre-1946 Japan should be had in mind when approaching this part of Hajime no Ippo. Taniguchi and Mizuki for example, but Miyazaki, Tezuka, (in a way) Kurosawa and others as well, but especially those who lived those periods and had to even fight on the front or who were particularly sensible and in contact with that recent past although they weren't still born, would know very well how to feel about this portrayal of that past post-1920s Japan, and not the current or medieval or ancient Japan but that specific Japan and the postwar decade. And with what eye they should watch and take this. Like many others who suffered who were themselves japanese and acting parties, like many japanese men, women and households (besides the perpetrators, nobody ever felt guilt or even regretted anything, nobody was ever a penitent there, just like their nazi counterparts; like the head jailer of Zamperini or the high command).
Hitting a guy so hard that he fucking goes midair horizontal is enough to break not just your hands, but could even cause tears in ligaments in your shoulder and back from the pure burst power. Considering Kamogawa's height and overall body structure he could realistically, MAYBE do this at absolute peak condition, not just in arms, but in his legs and back and stomach, the full body works and he'd have to be fucking high off his ass on his own adrenaline. Kamogawa's training couldn't be done in the time that was shown, in that amount of time, which is acceptable for plot reasons. But this? It's possible even factoring in his opponent's weight. And the blows that Kamogawa made to crush this guy would certainly break his hands at least. At peak adrenaline, you can't even feel the pain outside of a bare feeling something's off. But an entire hand getting broken? Not sure, and not going to test it, but I can see it. Just imagine, being such an asshole that a guy decides to train so hard to break you in half in two punches. And you pissed him off so much that he's willing to break HIMSELF just to utterly destroy you. This is why it's a good idea to be polite, folks.
I think the best thing about the Tekken is...the sound of it. Hajime No Ippo's sound design is quietly (ironically enough lol) the most brilliant part of it's production; jet engine noises as Ippo flies across the ring, a sharp scythe scraping the air as Mashiba moves his arm back and forth, every punch and move in this anime is sold thanks to how monstrously powerful they sound. But the Tekken is something else. Each time before it hits, everything else goes completely quiet, so the actual impact practically BOOMS as it connects. And what an impact it is, a thunderously loud CLANG of crushed metal, like the opponent was hit with a steel hammer and not a simple fist. And shortly after an utter COCOPHONY of rushing winds and cracking stone as Anderson's body just collapses under the sheer power of the attack. A storm louder then anything else in the series, utterly overwhelming and terrifying from both directions. Fitting for a move that ends the career of two world class boxers at the same time. The only punch that comes close to this level of auditory power is Takamura's final punch against Hawk, but even that literally stadium shaking move sounds like a whisper next to the earth shattering Tekken. Fucking SHIT I love this show.
What a cinematic masterpiece from the soundtrack, the dialog, the fucking bell sound when Kamogawa hits, then the sudden pauses in the music, I bet in "real time" if you will, this scene would only be 4 to 5 seconds to the audience watching the match but to us it was stretched to 2 minutes and even those 2 minutes felt like they lasted an eternity, just wow, I can't put it into words, definitely my top 5 scenes and episode in the series.
This is my 2nd most favorite animated fight on Hajime no Ippo the intensity of the match and how well the animation conveyed the pain, muscle injuries and overall pacing is really top notch.
holy shit this scene is so amazing, at the start he music is so freaking perfect for it. but what seals it for me is Kamogawa's VA at 0:21 such a powerful performance.
Theres something about the beginning of this particular scene, where you feel his determination when he says "Open your eyes" and "Attack", it always makes me start to tear up, you feel his emotion and his willpower, to defeat Anderson, for the sake of his best friend and Japan as a whole. Both of the punches he lands on Anderson carry his rage for his best friend and his pride as a Japanese behind them, and its beautiful.
manliest man ever, 'if my bones shatter they where never up to the task to begin with' - 'my left fist is dead, but you no what, IVE STILL GOT ONE MORE' gotta love the mentality of kamagowa, reckless but f....ing awesome
+Darthy24567 no way he could be bantam weight that is unbelievable for me for his size and muscle mass he couldnt possible weight around 50kg even for ippo featherweight seems light thats the only problem ive had with this anime is that their weightclasses doesnt match their look
I was like "Okay, until now this flashback has a really cool story, let's see the fight." Welp, afterwards I had to get 3 pants and 9 towels to clean up what my...Excitement did.
Something I realized is that there’s a distinct difference between Kamogawa’s Iron Fist and Ippo’s Iron Fist. Kamogawa didn’t just build his muscles by punching that log into the hill, he actually did partial training which hardened his fist, despite the time frame not being long enough to develop it. Ippo may have did it through a safer method but his fist isn’t harder for it, so if Kamogawa had continued partial training and allowed his fists to recover, his Iron Fist would actually be much much stronger than Ippo’s.
Kamogawa did partial training for his fist and yes his fist is technically the same as a karateka at this point in time. However, Ippo's training has been to strengthen his lower body to be able to do the Dempsey with little to no injury - same attack, same execution, but different context and purpose for training. Kamogawa even said that with Ippo's improved power body control and strengthened wrists, it's as if his fists were hardened as well
What I really love the most in this scene, is that when the Coach Kamogawa hit his fist, the ost is shut and the only sound is the punch made look like is a piece of metal hammering another. And them this is the born and the farewell of Iron Fist Kamogawa.
With anime involving monsters with extreme power like DragonBall Z or One Piece running rampant nowadays, it is so satisfying seeing this "normal human" produce one of the most intense punches in the entire art.
+LightningLegend12 If by normal, you mean sliding on a boxing ring floor producing car brakes and punches sounding like jet engines, then yeah it is pretty normal.
I know this is very "well acthucally" but in the manga Kamogawa said he wouldn't hit him in the jaw cause it was too hard and that would destroy his hand even further
The closest we will get to that is the Berserk PS4 game lol. I don't think they will bother making a high budget Berserk series unless the damn thing blows up in popularity.
it won't happen because beserk is too adult themed and there are certain things that make it unmarketable to japanese viewers. in order to get the true uncensored and detailed story in anime form, it'd pretty much have to be an ONA series and be paid for by the fans or best case it gets picked up by amazon/netflix and they do what they did with kabeneri but hopefully much better.
Tunuper i agree with your sentiments but, its not filler, at least not entirely. They extended a few scenes to make them more substantial. Also berserk only has about 351 if i remember right. Hajime no ippo on the other hand has over 1100.
Let us not forget that Kamogawa’s fists were already injured before the match even began. Meaning to say, this wasn’t even the Iron Fist’s maximum power.
This is why Kamogawa is one of my favourite anime characters. The reason he is the way he is - living and thriving in post war Japan when they have lost everything but their will to live. Enduring hardships, risking his life to fight for what he believes and dedicating the remainder of his life to boxing. A fighter in the ring and ultimately in life. No guts no glory. What a man. What a beautiful concept.
Just a pity that nowadays anime (and other media in general) no longer produce male characters like that. Today's world is full of scared-kitten, gutless boys with less-than-questionable masculinity.
That one was also very nice (seeing how it's my youtube profile pic- the manga version's that is), but this one sent chills down my spine. No other punch has made me do that.
It really is one of the best. It's easy to say that stronger punches were already animated, from Dragonball for example, but Hajime No Ippo stands second to none when it comes to animating something as complicated as how heavy the punches are. You see a punch in Dragonball its " he got punched hard", you see a punch in Hajime No Ippo and you feel that in your freaking body.
Kamogawa was part of the Pearl Harbour attack. He punched into the american ships to sink them. No one ever knew because it was classified by americans, afraid of the man with Tekken fists.
So he broke his ribs. Okay, that's reasonable. With 2 punches, almost like...All of them. ...Jeez, what the- And he pierced his enemies' organs with them ...That's fucking Metal dude. Tekken Kamogawa!
this short scene sums up, why i love this anime -fucking epic moments, i always get goose bumps -fantastic voice acting - incredible soundtracks (the Finisher ost and the weight of my pride are sooooo awesome, i listen to them, while i train -good animation ( in particular this fight/backstory-arc has the best animation) -great choreography (-great comedy and the best character of all time: Takamura)
What kind of monstrous strength did Kamogawa build to tear through his internals AND leave an indented mark of his fist, all with the damn thumb included? HOLY SHIT, GENJI! You're a monster and we love you.

Modern centric philosophy is overrated. The crudeness and rawness of training of the early days built tough minded and bodied boxers. Modern boxers can barely make it 12 rounds and they used to box over 20 rounds back in the day.
@@getschwifty9531fr tho, they were actually monsters 😂
RIP Utsumi Kenji (Komogawa voice actor.) This episode was made shortly after his death :(
Oh really. Damn 😢
Fuck. That sucks so much.
That guy was nice for Kamogawa
***** Yup. The voice actor for Nekota died before this episode came out too. He was the original voice of Korin from DBZ. So I guess it was dedicated to the both of them T_T
Oh my god nooooOOOo S4 won't be the same without him! This is like when uncle Iro/Aku died!
This high pitched metallic sound from Kamogawa's punch gives me shivers.
It's the iron fists
The iron fists
At this point it should be called destroyers fist
This makes me think about all the unseen, non-professional fights that we don’t know about and are “you just had to be there” kind of deal
Incredible
Ikr makes you think
a part that stood out to me is when anderson said "endure" at 0:54. its just so cool to see how fear inducing kamogawas punch is.
That moment when you realise that the funny coach is maybe the strongest boxer who ever lived.
Only to be succeeded by his trainee IPPO
Juan garcia *Takamura
***** Nah. Ippo received the baton pass from Kamogawa. Takamura is already a genius in his own right like the coach said.
Ismail Abd Khalil I meant as the strongest boxer. And the first one to achieve Kamogawa's goal of a world champion boxer. Obviously, Takamura already has all those, so it is Ippo's turn now.
***** Ah, I see. Well, it'll take some time before Ippo can become the World Champion. First thing's first, he's gotta make a comeback after that recent loss.
I love it how in the mangaprobably my favorite part of the entire series is when itagaki told kamogawa that ippo was driving logs in the side of the hill and he immediately shot up and said "IS HE DOING IT WITH HIS FISTS!!" and itagaki was like "no he had a hammer, only the worlds stupidest person would ever try and do something like that with your fist"
Yo what chapter is that?
@@richie6884 574
dang, great attention to detail... 👍👍👍
That also shows you how well Kamogawa knows ippo, he knows for SURE ippo would do it if he felt so obligated lol
Yes, I saw that but later after kamogawa visit the hill, he realizes that ippo has nailed multiple logs in the hill.
Kamogawa's roar as he goes for that second punch hypes me up so much bro especially seeing the outcome of that punch
1:40 the best fucking sound i've ever heard
0:48 to 1:07 is pure art. The animation, emotion, dialogue, and even the ost cutting out so you hear nothing but that body shot all blended together beautifully.
Thats what i just realized, what makes this fight so intense and absolutely raw compared to previous ones, no music what so ever. Pure emotion, and it works so well, it has such a different atmosphere and i always wondered why
@@ThaddeusSilva the director for those two episodes was the same man who made season 1!

I remember reading this on the HnI reddit, but this entire arc was symbolic of the war (WWII). The title of the post is "Kamogawa's story: literal v. Literary reading".
In essence, the symbolism revolves around Nekota, the heart of Japan and its optimism, Yuki, the body and hope of Japan, and Kamogawa, the Japanese unshakable spirit and willpower.
As for Anderson, he represents the seemingly invincible force known as America. Just as America did not pay heed to the symbolic head of Japan and directly attacked its body with Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Anderson attacks the body of people as well. He takes out Nekota and, indirectly, Yuki.
Here, Kamogawa acts as the center of Japan's "revenge story" and destroys Anderson, symbolizing America, in a similar fashion. His two punches each represent the nukes that destroyed Japan's hope and optimism. His fists represent total destruction.
But this arc was just a mythological retelling, and now Kamogawa has a new role, to recover what was lost: talent and hope.
Ty to u/McFaberack for this literary analysis because now I can never watch this fight without tearing up LMAO
Here is the original post bc idk if I can post links:
In a previous post (speculating on a possible confrontation between Kamogawa and Hawk), it was discussed how the fight between Kamogawa and Anderson is unrealistic.
Quotes from that discussion:
- Kamogawa only won against Anderson because this is a manga where a character drove a log into a hill with his fist and didn't shattered every bone the arm and shoulder.
- Top 5 in the world boxer that got beaten by a unknown Bantamweight
These are two quotes I took as a model of the argument that that fight is not to be taken seriously as it is obviously ridiculous and over the top.While I AGREE that, if you take the fight at face value, it is very silly and unrealistic (hitting logs into a hill with your bare hands is not an effective form of training, for obvious reasons), I think it is appropriate to look at this story from a literary perspective to understand what it is talking about.
First of all, the context:
Coach Kamogawa is, as far as his status in the tale is concerned, a mythological figure, a founding figure for the characters. He is the head of the kamogawa gym and its founder, as well as the origin of the "dream" that Ippo and Takamura are carrying out.
It is therefore evident that, when his story is told, it undergoes an abrupt change of tone from what we are used to in the rest of the story. The atmosphere becomes darker, there is an ancient nostalgia that lingers throughout the tale.
This is not the original tale anymore, it is the founding myth of Hajime no Ippo, so you should read it with the eye of the myth reader.
In addition to Kamogawa's personal story (and the beginning of the story of Hajime no Ippo itself), the history of Japan is added, so that the characters within it become the representatives of aspects of historical characters (specifically America and Japan).
We must remember that at that time, Japan had just emerged from a war that had seen them humiliated and broken.
The three protagonists represent three elements of Japan:
- Nekota is the heart of Japan, he embodies optimism, hope for the future, energy and growth potential. His immense talent represents the possibility of Japan's recovery and revenge. However, Nekota's potential is shattered, he cannot realistically be realized due to brain damage.
- Yuki is the body and hope of Japan. She is the potential from which new life can be born, and her possible union with Nekota or Kamogawa fills both of them with hope. She is the inspiration for Kamogawa and Nekota and brings the promise of a new generation filled with Japan's spirit (her love of sunflowers recalls the Japanese love of the sun, the path of which every Japanese follows when they look at the national flag).
- Kamogawa represents the Japanese spirit, imperturbability, recklessness and willpower. His vision is more cynical (realistic?) and less optimistic than Nekota's.
Having said that, the time has come to answer the central question: why did the fight between Anderson and Kamogawa HAD to go (precisely) that way, regardless of "realism" and "phisical accuracy"?
Because what Kamogawa brings to the ring is all that I just mentioned above, while Anderson becomes the proxy for America.
Anderson si big, strong and seems invincible. He already took down the best of Japan (Nekota) and all that remains is the sheer stubbornness of not giving up.
The way in which Kamogawa defeats Anderson is meant to be a mirror of the way in which America defeated Japan.
America didn't went for the head, didn't try to kill the generals, the emperor or everything that symbolizes the "head" of Japan, they dropped two bombs on the body of japan (cities and citizens).
In the same fashion, Kamogawa's mission is to drop two "bombs" back on Anderson's (America's) body, leaving him broken just as America broke Japan before.
Anderson becomes the sacrificial lamb of Japan's desire for revenge, he is directly responsible of Japan's youth defeat (Nekota) and indirectly responsible (as an american military) of the poisoning of Japan's land (Yuki).
At the end, once revenge is accomplished, both Japan's talent and hope (Nekota and Yuki) must disappear (they go up the mountain, another mythical trope that i won't explain this time XD), since Japan has lost both his potential and his hope for the future.
The only one that remains is Kamogawa, that now that the revenge is done, is left with a new purpose, to recover what was lost: talent and hope.
And that's why I think that you souldn't read this particular arc in the same way you read the others: it's a memory, it's a myth and it has a narrative structure that requires an improbable outcome (as is Japan beating America militaty wise).
I hope that my rambling was clear enough (english is not my native language) and I hope that you enjoyed it!
If you have other ideas or perspectives, please share them as I will be delighted to read them!
Ah yes the spirit of the world war 2 Japanese. Raping and murdering innocent people in Korea and China and too this day refuse to acknowledge forcing Korean women to perform sexual slavery for their soldiers. You know to the point NBC had to offer an apology when Koreans were pissed because their analyst at the Olympics said Japan contributed to Korea.
It’s hilarious how Japan brushes their massacres under the rug and whine and cry about being occupied. But I guess that’s to be expected when your education system literally denies the atrocities everyone else knows you committed.
I’d love to see the manga about the Japanese rape of Nanking. But we’ll never see that because the Japanese to this day deny they did anything 🤣
They’ll keep crying about being occupied though. I know one thing. I’ll sure never go to war if China invaded Japan. They can fight that one on their own and write a manga about it. If any of them are left to write manga 😂
Thank you
this two hit combo is now officially named the little boy fat man combo
With the caviat that this story speaks about a tremendously terrible, dishonorable with prisoners and their own young conscripts, criminal, abusive, in a way cowardly etc dictatorial country like Japan, its territories and its state, then the soviet regime who truly would have brought, like with anybody they occupied, hell to Japan, its population and territory (and also dethroned the emperor and not respected the imperial institution or anything else of Japan) which, luckily for Asia, Japan and everybody else in the world, could never act on its plans because the US reached first and everything was solved there and then the same America that itself literally made Imperial Japan, the losing side in its conquest goals (the same Japan who would've completely annihilated its own population first, besides the entirety of Asia and hundreds of thousands of american soldiers, had the war continued beyond 1945 and had the war not seen the nuclear bombs put to use by Truman), recovered, supported, improved, new, on the scene again and many other things, and that was that before going away and leaving everything to the japanese governments with the given resources, tools and foundations. So much for the evil occupiers.
One could say, ''not exactly'' like a guy like Anderson and everything that he embodies...
It's good and greatly put as well, it's all great storytelling - besides Kamogawa and the fighting events being so great already - and it's a nice homer story by the author, but the real context and the real pre-1946 Japan should be had in mind when approaching this part of Hajime no Ippo.
Taniguchi and Mizuki for example, but Miyazaki, Tezuka, (in a way) Kurosawa and others as well, but especially those who lived those periods and had to even fight on the front or who were particularly sensible and in contact with that recent past although they weren't still born, would know very well how to feel about this portrayal of that past post-1920s Japan, and not the current or medieval or ancient Japan but that specific Japan and the postwar decade. And with what eye they should watch and take this.
Like many others who suffered who were themselves japanese and acting parties, like many japanese men, women and households (besides the perpetrators, nobody ever felt guilt or even regretted anything, nobody was ever a penitent there, just like their nazi counterparts; like the head jailer of Zamperini or the high command).
The fact that Kamogawa did this without formal boxing training is nuts
Dang, put Kamogawa as DLC in Mortal Kombat X, he already has his own X-Ray move.
LOL THIS IS GREAT
***** Hi, which episode that?
CasanovA the amv is from the last 3 episodes of Hajime No Ippo: Rising
***** ty bro
*****
the vid is not an amv, that's the last ep and it's shown just like the clip.
Hitting a guy so hard that he fucking goes midair horizontal is enough to break not just your hands, but could even cause tears in ligaments in your shoulder and back from the pure burst power. Considering Kamogawa's height and overall body structure he could realistically, MAYBE do this at absolute peak condition, not just in arms, but in his legs and back and stomach, the full body works and he'd have to be fucking high off his ass on his own adrenaline. Kamogawa's training couldn't be done in the time that was shown, in that amount of time, which is acceptable for plot reasons. But this? It's possible even factoring in his opponent's weight. And the blows that Kamogawa made to crush this guy would certainly break his hands at least. At peak adrenaline, you can't even feel the pain outside of a bare feeling something's off. But an entire hand getting broken? Not sure, and not going to test it, but I can see it.
Just imagine, being such an asshole that a guy decides to train so hard to break you in half in two punches. And you pissed him off so much that he's willing to break HIMSELF just to utterly destroy you. This is why it's a good idea to be polite, folks.
his hand broke because he was punching a log into a hill bare handed before the fight
As Niyaz said, K was compromised by his training, which one could argue almost made him lose from all the strain he put on his muscles and bones.
How long can an adrenaline rush last.
@@priyanshugoel3030 depends on the situation
@@Niyaz_ give examples. Thanks for replying.
I think the best thing about the Tekken is...the sound of it. Hajime No Ippo's sound design is quietly (ironically enough lol) the most brilliant part of it's production; jet engine noises as Ippo flies across the ring, a sharp scythe scraping the air as Mashiba moves his arm back and forth, every punch and move in this anime is sold thanks to how monstrously powerful they sound.
But the Tekken is something else.
Each time before it hits, everything else goes completely quiet, so the actual impact practically BOOMS as it connects. And what an impact it is, a thunderously loud CLANG of crushed metal, like the opponent was hit with a steel hammer and not a simple fist. And shortly after an utter COCOPHONY of rushing winds and cracking stone as Anderson's body just collapses under the sheer power of the attack. A storm louder then anything else in the series, utterly overwhelming and terrifying from both directions. Fitting for a move that ends the career of two world class boxers at the same time.
The only punch that comes close to this level of auditory power is Takamura's final punch against Hawk, but even that literally stadium shaking move sounds like a whisper next to the earth shattering Tekken.
Fucking SHIT I love this show.
I don't agree with your opinion. That's all I'm gonna say
@@nathanieldello3034Agreed
What a cinematic masterpiece from the soundtrack, the dialog, the fucking bell sound when Kamogawa hits, then the sudden pauses in the music, I bet in "real time" if you will, this scene would only be 4 to 5 seconds to the audience watching the match but to us it was stretched to 2 minutes and even those 2 minutes felt like they lasted an eternity, just wow, I can't put it into words, definitely my top 5 scenes and episode in the series.

When the punches land the sound is of a train hitting its brakes hard. So he put the brakes on him, so to speak.
Wrong move.. it left him with 1 hp.. should have used protect

And that was enough...

@Gutsu would probably crush the skull
@@johnchristian8685 what he did is already permanent, Anderson probably never came back from those fractures to his ribs and organs
Wrong he hitted many Open shots on the body watch the full episode
holy shit this scene is so amazing, at the start he music is so freaking perfect for it. but what seals it for me is Kamogawa's VA at 0:21 such a powerful performance.
Theres something about the beginning of this particular scene, where you feel his determination when he says "Open your eyes" and "Attack", it always makes me start to tear up, you feel his emotion and his willpower, to defeat Anderson, for the sake of his best friend and Japan as a whole. Both of the punches he lands on Anderson carry his rage for his best friend and his pride as a Japanese behind them, and its beautiful.
manliest man ever, 'if my bones shatter they where never up to the task to begin with' - 'my left fist is dead, but you no what, IVE STILL GOT ONE MORE' gotta love the mentality of kamagowa, reckless but f....ing awesome

Welp, afterwards I had to get 3 pants and 9 towels to clean up what my...Excitement did.
SirMalorak gayyyyyyyyyyy
Something I realized is that there’s a distinct difference between Kamogawa’s Iron Fist and Ippo’s Iron Fist. Kamogawa didn’t just build his muscles by punching that log into the hill, he actually did partial training which hardened his fist, despite the time frame not being long enough to develop it. Ippo may have did it through a safer method but his fist isn’t harder for it, so if Kamogawa had continued partial training and allowed his fists to recover, his Iron Fist would actually be much much stronger than Ippo’s.
Kamogawa did partial training for his fist and yes his fist is technically the same as a karateka at this point in time. However, Ippo's training has been to strengthen his lower body to be able to do the Dempsey with little to no injury - same attack, same execution, but different context and purpose for training.
Kamogawa even said that with Ippo's improved power body control and strengthened wrists, it's as if his fists were hardened as well
It was stated later on the Manga that ippo did punch the log as part of his training when he showed his fist
Kamogawa iron fist may not work on modern boxing glove because of so much padding, but back then it's literally just like pillow padding.
Bro punched his abs so hard it retracted ☠️
What I really love the most in this scene, is that when the Coach Kamogawa hit his fist, the ost is shut and the only sound is the punch made look like is a piece of metal hammering another. And them this is the born and the farewell of Iron Fist Kamogawa.
[CAMERA SHAKING INTENSIFIES]
With anime involving monsters with extreme power like DragonBall Z or One Piece running rampant nowadays, it is so satisfying seeing this "normal human" produce one of the most intense punches in the entire art.

Good thing Anderson protected his jaw, if that second punch had hit him in the jaw, hajime no ippo would turn into a gore anime.
His head will surely fly high into the kingdom come.
Ngl, it is
Pretty sure his entire jaw would fly off.
Anderson would be dead if he were hit in the face....or if he hadn't trained his abs......
I know this is very "well acthucally" but in the manga Kamogawa said he wouldn't hit him in the jaw cause it was too hard and that would destroy his hand even further
Berserk + this animation = perfect anime.
I know right, when they do something, why not do it right, it's like they are retarded.
The closest we will get to that is the Berserk PS4 game lol. I don't think they will bother making a high budget Berserk series unless the damn thing blows up in popularity.
it won't happen because beserk is too adult themed and there are certain things that make it unmarketable to japanese viewers. in order to get the true uncensored and detailed story in anime form, it'd pretty much have to be an ONA series and be paid for by the fans or best case it gets picked up by amazon/netflix and they do what they did with kabeneri but hopefully much better.
What animation? it felt like i was watching a slide show
Tunuper i agree with your sentiments but, its not filler, at least not entirely. They extended a few scenes to make them more substantial. Also berserk only has about 351 if i remember right. Hajime no ippo on the other hand has over 1100.
This scene is insanely badass
Let us not forget that Kamogawa’s fists were already injured before the match even began. Meaning to say, this wasn’t even the Iron Fist’s maximum power.
This is why Kamogawa is one of my favourite anime characters. The reason he is the way he is - living and thriving in post war Japan when they have lost everything but their will to live. Enduring hardships, risking his life to fight for what he believes and dedicating the remainder of his life to boxing. A fighter in the ring and ultimately in life. No guts no glory. What a man. What a beautiful concept.
Just a pity that nowadays anime (and other media in general) no longer produce male characters like that. Today's world is full of scared-kitten, gutless boys with less-than-questionable masculinity.

This is the greatest punch in any anime. No other anime has made me cringe that much from a punch.
this is why Takamura and Kamogawa are gods!
There´s also Miyata´s punch that he used against the pacific champion !
That one was also very nice (seeing how it's my youtube profile pic- the manga version's that is), but this one sent chills down my spine. No other punch has made me do that.
It really is one of the best. It's easy to say that stronger punches were already animated, from Dragonball for example, but Hajime No Ippo stands second to none when it comes to animating something as complicated as how heavy the punches are. You see a punch in Dragonball its " he got punched hard", you see a punch in Hajime No Ippo and you feel that in your freaking body.
Not an anime But Most of Asuras Wrath punches.
holy shit, this scene made me wanna watch the anime so bad
the sound effects, animation and VAs are on point!
