Imagine the psychological pressure on the challenger. Here he is about to have the most important fight of his life,against the undefeated champion who has never lost a fight,a monster unlike any in the whole country. Then you start hearing rumours that the dude killed a bear with his bare hands. Affter seeing the bear skin you believe the rumours to be part of a prank. Just as you are about to sigh in relief you see the *HUGE CLAW MARKS* while the champion just stares at you like you are an insect.
Puts a whole new perspective on "If you see me fighting a bear, you better help that poor bear." Would you want to fight any kind of fight with a guy that honestly looks like he took out an actual bear? Cuz I wouldn't. I'd be psyched out, too, lol. Then he goes and beats the dude with nothing but his left.
"A man who rules with his left, rules the world." I didn't notice this until ages later, but the way that opponent collapsed made it look like he was bowing. Fucking perfect.
"A man who rules with his left, rules the world." I really love this quote. The way I understand it is, it's not necessarily talking about boxing, but the world in general. If you can command power without having to use your true strength, like Takamura's straight right in the show, you are near undefeatable. By making all of your attributes sharp instead of just one, you can indeed rule the world.
Later chapters in the retirement arc delved into this further - a left can be anything, it all depends on how to use it, and how you use it more or less determines victory or defeat
@@powahfulgameplayer tbf, the threat is still there compared to his hand actually being tied. That's like an opponent being outboxed by Khabib cause he prepared for a wrestling match and not a striking match, kinda explains the reason Conor got dropped by an overhand. Or even with other sports, it's like cutting someone's arm off in football because it's illegal to use hands anyway 😂

Him and Ricardo Martinez were the only two boxers in the show that could box both orthodox and brawler styles at the highest level. Too bad they would never face off. Would love to see them spar at least once before the series end though. Martinez is still a little bit more dominant than Takamura in his class, since most of his title matches were won without him using his natural style even. That man don't even break a sweat against average challengers.
@@soulawaken24 Takamura would kill Martinez in a fight. The reason Takamura has more difficulty in his title matches is because he is always fighting in a lower weight class.Leading to him having to lose significant weight and power as well as suffering for months. Unlike Martinez who is fighting in his natural weight.
I haven't seen many comments regarding the animation quality, but I think Ippo's animation is completely unbelievable considering that the production was done far far before computer graphics and motion capturing came along.
Back in the day of cel animation the animators were also educated in technical studies of whatever like motion, martial arts ect to get the detail and accuracy (same sort of applies to mangakas). I feel like thats it getting lost now that we rely more and more on computers to do that.
just like ricardo martinez vs ippo (practise match) ricardo owned ippo by his left truly both this beast are champions ....A man who rules with his left, rules the world!!
It’s a shame that Takamura and Ricardo probably won’t ever face off, given how hard it was for Takamura to drop even to Jr. Middleweight to fight Hawk, let alone down to featherweight. I’d love to see that fight.
@@chiefcleve1834 I’d honestly love to see that, especially considering that unlike most higher-weight-class boxers, Takamura actually has speed that can compete with featherweights 😆 and I know that in the manga he’s basically stolen the hitman style off of Bison, so he’s got a way to make the most of his reach and stay completely away from Ricardo. Might let Ricardo have a good fight 😆
it is a combination of crisp comedy, hard work, learning new skills at every step and never loosing hope with some crazy boxing matches and a lot of information about boxing. that's why
For me, it's because this is real. I mean the anime does exaggerate some stuff, but one actually can learn all those moves, become a pro boxer and fight to the end. I'm endlessly inspired to pick up boxing
Im so excited of more from the Show that will come and more of the Manga. Will Ippo cross the Monsterline. And will the New season more animated like the first season wich i love the most.
"A man who rules with his left, rules the world." I guess people don't fully grasp what this quote means or how amazing Takamura is for doing this In order to beat someone using only your left in boxing means your fundamentals are on point. He's literally fighting with one arm tied behind his back, by doing that he has made himself very predictable because now his opponent knows which arm will be used, he also nerfed himself of his own power. That means in the fight, Takamura demonstrated complete mastery of - distance control - blocking - head movement - body movement - ability to read an opponent - counter punching - timing We forget but his opponent was a top 5 world ranker, the equivalent of all the other main characters in terms of skill like Mashiba, Sendo, Miyata, and Ippo and Takamura just took this guy down in the first round without getting hit once. The implications of this quote does come up again as in the second season when Ippo spars Ricardo, Ricardo only uses his left and knocks Ippo out, whereas Date who spars Miyata win but uses his right at the very end, hinting at the fact that Date is not on the same level as Ricardo coming into the fight.
Everytime I watch nearly any Takamura fight, I can't help but cheer him on lmao even rewatching doesn't help!! He's top damn amazing not to go om thay contagious cheer! TA-KA-MU-RA! TA-KA-MU-RA! lmao
The moment you realized Takamura never even ONCE threw a right straight at a Human Being through the entire anime because the coach placed that unwritten restriction on him. The feels.....
@@remyhavoc4463 He still parries with his right and he pushes with it, but he never actually does damage with his right until his world championship fight. It's what made him so famous that he was even given a shot at a world title.

I can't wait to see Dempsey 3.0 animated. Honestly, something like that would give even the best counter punchers the most trouble. Since counters are all about timing, and getting the angle down, but with the Dempsey 3.0, it's a barrage of endless punches from any angle, and he can initiated from any range. Crazy stuff. Ippo is gonna be a monster when he get's back in the ring.
I love how much of a prick Takamura is knowing he won't get told off by Kamogawa. Takamura is genuinely the heart and soul of Hajime no Ippo, more so than Ippo himself.
I just realized... Takamura's fighting style is based around Mike Tyson at the beggining of his career, before he started to be under Don King's management. A deadly punch, counters, and excellent dodging. After Tyson fiered Kevin Rooney as a trainer, he stopped being a fast dodger and started just getting punched all the time. Sure, he was still Mike Tyson, one punch from him would end you, but not being a good dodger anymore is what caused his career to start spiraling down.
"a man who rules with his left, rules the world" This gave me chills... So sad they dont animate this any longer, it was so good... Too few sport animes nowadays. Only cringe animes with lolis
The funny thing is, this kind of behavior is usually done by villains to make the audience both know he's powerful and overconfident, so the audience wishes him to lose. Basically if the other guy was the good guy, he'd rise up and manage to slowly make his way to the final round and then win.
Worst part about this anime is that I discovered in 2023, truly wish I had found it sooner, most hype anime imho; currently reading it, picked it up at the Taka Eagle fight
This is the part where ippo forgot the most, he forgot to master utilizing left punches instead charging in to get into enemies leading him drunk punch and loses two match consecutively in world ranking. As for now he already realizes it and hoping for comeback
The fact that Takamura is depicted as big as he is and he's only middleweight, says a lot about how big they see themselves compared to foreign boxers. When I look at Takamura I picture him as bigger than myself, but I'm 6'5 and 240lbs. Takamura is not nearly that big.
Sadly this is the mistake of ippo that he admit.. he forgot the basics, he forgot the left, he forgot this match, the essential of left and focusing only in dempsey roll, i hope ippo will fight again in the ring now that he knows his mistake, afterall we didnt see the Complete dempsey roll.
This show did such a good job of portraying how majority of boxing or fight fans are. Fighters like Kobashi, Mayweather get shit on only because they don’t go gung-ho in their approach and brawl like wild animals in the centre of the ring and use their brains to win fights instead.
Funny thing is when Takamura went wild animal mode during Bryan Hawk match he still fought with the boxing fundamentals he trained with to pinpoint accuracy unconciously, just in a more aggressive, unpredictable way.
Imagine the psychological pressure on the challenger.
Here he is about to have the most important fight of his life,against the undefeated champion who has never lost a fight,a monster unlike any in the whole country.

It must be pretty hopeless getting beat with only lefts from Takamura, considering his natural fighting style is anything but textbook boxing.

A deadly punch, counters, and excellent dodging. After Tyson fiered Kevin Rooney as a trainer, he stopped being a fast dodger and started just getting punched all the time. Sure, he was still Mike Tyson, one punch from him would end you, but not being a good dodger anymore is what caused his career to start spiraling down.
Actually Ippo is Mike Tyson.
Takamura is more Duran and RJJ
According to Morikawa, he's based on Durán and Marvin Hagler.

"I'm ready for your lecture"
*HAAA!!*
Every school day ever
"a man who rules with his left, rules the world" This gave me chills...
So sad they dont animate this any longer, it was so good... Too few sport animes nowadays. Only cringe animes with lolis
一歩はリカルドマルチネスに左だけでやられたな
世界を背負える人間は左こそが命ですので

The funny thing is, this kind of behavior is usually done by villains to make the audience both know he's powerful and overconfident, so the audience wishes him to lose.
Basically if the other guy was the good guy, he'd rise up and manage to slowly make his way to the final round and then win.
Hahahaha Takamura used the “Mom said that” and “Dad said that” lie that kids use.
まさに 素人は黙っとれ ってやつだな。
まぁ野次とかもないと盛り上がらないとは思うけど、、、

Worst part about this anime is that I discovered in 2023, truly wish I had found it sooner, most hype anime imho; currently reading it, picked it up at the Taka Eagle fight
熊殺しも充分凄いんだけどタイトルマッチを挑む程の実力者を左手一本で1R完封尚且つ会長の説教も見事な試合で完封
実は試合外での不祥事を試合で黙らせたのって無いんだよね
After reading the recent chapters this video plays a major role in the anime.
"using your letf alone won't do the job"
Takamura: Hold My left.
This is the part where ippo forgot the most, he forgot to master utilizing left punches instead charging in to get into enemies leading him drunk punch and loses two match consecutively in world ranking. As for now he already realizes it and hoping for comeback
Thanks for the spoiler alert 😑
WE are hoping for a comeback.
Ippos still under the kumi sized boot
He have short reach that prevent him from jab effectively
@@8BERZERKER8 Stupid? The Anime is over for nearly a decade or even longer
@@RP-zl5ix have you ever read the manga?
I dont fucking know why Ippo is the main protagonist, Takamura's story is way better.
Takamura is too strong! You cant fix him he’s already perfect. Ippo is working his way to Takamuras level. Just my 2 cents 5 months later lmao
Judging from Takamura's appearance alone he's already a bear even without the suit
Takamura = ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED
Mashiba = imma going to get that too
Kimura = yeah . . . but actually no
So a man who rules with his left while hes a southpaw, rules the universe.
Ben Dover pretty much the multiverse
Theres an opponent
It's the right for true Southpaws
5:03 best troll face ever😂
There's a better one when Takamura won the Japanese Belt. I'll never forget that smug grin of his 🤣
The fact that Takamura is depicted as big as he is and he's only middleweight, says a lot about how big they see themselves compared to foreign boxers.
When I look at Takamura I picture him as bigger than myself, but I'm 6'5 and 240lbs. Takamura is not nearly that big.
What's his height?
@@THEdudeproductions 6'1", currently fighting at 168 pounds in the manga.
@@lucaswinsor4469 Thank you
I'm not versed enough in boxing, does anyone know if there is any fight where a boxer did something like this? Winning using only his left.
yiledute impossible
sora roxas not if the boxer is secretly left handed👀
Welp old time boxing trainers would say a right hand can get you around the block, but a left hand can take you around the world
Sadly this is the mistake of ippo that he admit.. he forgot the basics, he forgot the left, he forgot this match, the essential of left and focusing only in dempsey roll, i hope ippo will fight again in the ring now that he knows his mistake, afterall we didnt see the Complete dempsey roll.
you're right after being a corner he realised a lot, but is it too late for him?
This show did such a good job of portraying how majority of boxing or fight fans are. Fighters like Kobashi, Mayweather get shit on only because they don’t go gung-ho in their approach and brawl like wild animals in the centre of the ring and use their brains to win fights instead.
Funny thing is when Takamura went wild animal mode during Bryan Hawk match he still fought with the boxing fundamentals he trained with to pinpoint accuracy unconciously, just in a more aggressive, unpredictable way.
I really love that 'Sense of Intense' OST @4:30
I'm going to miss Utsumi-san as Coach Kamogawa (Original Raoh's VA).
一歩は何回見ても良いですネ有難うございます!西澤
This scene just shows how ignorant and undeducated the crowd is. Strategy is more important than strong blows.
4:27 if ur searching for the saying
Old saying: A man who rules with his left , rules the world..
Manny Pacquiao : hold my belt
Pacman is a southpaw so it's his right in this case...
"A man who rules with his left... Rules the world "
That's one savage of a line....
I hope Ippo will do this too when his comeback debut comes.
The coach is mad he cant lecture takamura, that always gets me.
1:24 Don’t know why I feel proud of Takamura when I see this happening
I remember back then, whenever I drew a buff or ripped man, I always put 3 cut marks on the chest because of him.
