Hajime no Ippo: New Challenger

[kenjiharima]

Takamura crapping a snake.... XD

Spoiler for Flashbacks:

Best stuff is on Kamogawa and Nekota's back stories. *hint* Remember the old HNI series when they where young?

[Noe]

lolol @ Takamura's poop, good fight at the beginning.

[ShadowClone]

I just had to laugh at Takamura's "l33t potty skillz" in Episode 14

I was wondering "Where the hell did the snake come from, I don't remember seeing..." and then it suddenly "fell into place" into the perfect shape of a turd!

"Oh, 'SHIT'!!" (pun intended)

[Onibur]

Forget the snake poo, what about the bug. How is that possible?
Probably one of the funniest scenes I've ever seen.

[FireDetei]

Well, not to go into too much detail - but somethings can go inside u and come out without changing form.....sweetcorn for example! :P

Really? I gotta check this out

And yeah, I noticed the animation has gotten a bit better, reminds me of Death Note a little bit, the animation was okay at first, and then it just gets better (especially sakujo)

[RaiLong]

Yeah, that'd freak me out too! I agree with what they said at http://thestateofhappiness.wordpress...llenger-ep-14/ I'm looking forward to the Takamura world title match, and I kinda want to get the Itagaki debut match out of the way because I know how it ends. Though I do agree that it's an important part of the story that comes up again later. Man, I really wonder who'll do the voice for Brian Hawk!

[Noe]

From reading the manga, I really enjoyed the fight of Takamura & Hawk. Let's see how well they'll portray it.

Spoiler for Takamura fight:

There will be one more Takamura fight before the Hawk fight btw...unless they skip it.

I wanna see more Itagaki fights, since he's now the new speed king in KBG.

thier not skipping the itagaki fight i think.

The preview for ep 15 showed itagaki fighting

[ultramojones]

Spoiler for EP 15:

Lol! Takamura comes out in a bear suit and once he takes it off... AHHHHHHHHH
Next episode is finally Takamura's turn

[beppu]

Takamura looked like a zombie.

[kenjiharima]

Takamura as said by Aoki and Kimura...actually it's Aoki's fault for giving Takumura that "PRESENT".

Itagaki shows his lack of experience in the ring since he's still a rookie. Professionally boxing is not taken lightly as it also happened to Ippo from Bull Ushida, but he didn't complained, he fought, unlike Itagaki he complained and let his guard down bam! 10 second K.O.!

Pretty much Iam looking forward to Moris West the Philippine middle weight Champion vs the Nippon Champ Takamura next. Is Moris West a Philippine American? Who knows...

[ultramojones]

So in EP 14...

Spoiler for EP 14:

Was Aoki's hands down his pants fapping?

Yes.

It's been his hobby since highschool remember young Takamura and shota Miyata in s1 HNI? Takamura vs the gangster look of Aoki and kimura, Takamura said he always does that too...my goodness.

Spoiler:

Ippo has alot of penis jokes, thanks to that it has loads of yaoi mangas.

[beppu]

I'm looking forward to episode 16. I haven't read the manga, so I'm curious to see how Takamura fares in his dehydrated state.

[Noe]

I've read the manga, yet it's so nice to see it animated.

Oh noes Takamura. \o/

[kenjiharima]

Spoiler for episode 16:

I'll just hint that there's a GUEST in the audience and anger can sometimes be the key to make a comeback.

[kamikazex]

omfg.16 was too awesome.

[Sent]

Intense lol
