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.
Nekota: "a man who rules with his left rules the world." Ippo: "sounds legit." Ippo 1000 chapters later: *uses dempsey roll so much he forgot how to throw jabs*
@@remyhavoc4463 haha the more the merrier. I hope you *spoiler* ... dont lose your enthusiasm over the years when you start to feel the soul crushing contrivances morikawa sensei comes up with to prevent ippo and miyata from ever fighting again.
"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.
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 😆
Its kinda funny that hes called the bear killer even though he specifically didnt want to kill it and willingly spared it, Nekota was the one who did it
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.
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
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
I have watched this series 3 times already but i pretty sure this the most realistic best anime out there. So much technical correct. The writter has definitely spent countless hrs of hardwork which makes unique. I feel pumped after watching this. And man that guitar music.. 🤩🤩🤩
I suppose if you ignore that Takamura once punched a bear or the amount of head trauma Ippos takes on a regular basis It has plenty of actual boxing involved but acting like the boxing is overly realistic is a bit silly This series is to boxing as prince of tennis is to tennis

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.
Every few years I always come back and watch this, but face type of makes against his coach is so fucking funny. I love the relationship between these guys. It truly is like a boxing manga slice of life elements. God, I love this manga/anime
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 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.

When u actually learn how Takamura is so strong with his left , this fight becomes so much more enjoyable
Compared to his usual goofy self,he looks so composed and focused when fighting,and is so good while doing so, so cool
It must be pretty hopeless getting beat with only lefts from Takamura, considering his natural fighting style is anything but textbook boxing.
actually, when the coach first got takamura, he forced him to pretty much master his lefts, takamura just chooses to do other stuff during matches
Harmony242 Takamura's natural style is actually Brawling style, but he's pretty much got orthodox mastered.
