![]() “Guard up… Keep my guard up! Like… Doc said!” If the two were to meet in the ring, who would walk out of the ensuing death match? Both being underdog champions for their respective belts, these two have beaten the toughest of opponents.īoth being small, unstoppable boxers with a lot to prove, these two combatants show that with enough training, anyone can accomplish their dreams at the top. These two boxers may be on the shorter side, but they train themselves up to the top so they can prove themselves as the best. ![]() The idea of a challenger that feels small but climbs the ranks despite all odds. Makunouchi Ippo, Japan’s featherweight hard-puncher with fighting spirit.Įveryone loves an underdog. So if you don't want to read the manga of it, it is probably okay too.Little Mac, Punch-Out’s flyweight bruiser from the Bronx. Most of the stuff that is cut, isn't that important to the over all story to where it doesn't really get reference later on in the series. It is worth while to watch the 3rd season, but I would also advise re-read the manga from those parts to see what was all cut out. The two movies/ova's covered 5 volumes worth of material. The first season had 30 volumes worth of material in 75 episodes. While the 2nd season covered about 10 volumes worth of material (volume 36 to 46) in 26 episodes. The last 4 episodes covers about 1 volumes worth (volume 45/46) with Kamogawa's flashback. It is covering about 14 volumes (47 to 61) worth of material packed into 21 episodes. I guess it should be mention that it is understandable that stuff was cut out in the 3rd season. Then of course the last 4 episodes is the Kamogawa Flashback that should have happen in New Challenger. Anime cuts out Ippo's visit to Sanada to discuss Takamura's potential eye problem, and a few things related to it making it seem like a minor things. ![]() I think Sendo talking with Sawamura in the hospital, might of cut out a few minor things.Īnime Cuts out the spar Ippo has with Imai before Takamura goes on his training camp with Miyata, and Itagaki talking with Miyata about Ippo, and Miyata explain Ippo is like a bell to Takamura. Anime cuts out Sendo meeting Sawamura, and I think it might have ignored a few things about Sawamura's past. It also "rearranged" a few things like the Ippo's Dad Flashback at the start was suppose to happen after the Sawaruma fight in the manga, I think a few things might have been cut out of it too. There might have been a few other minor things also cut out or changed.Īnime cut out Ippo's training, "Ultimate Punch" discussion, and weigh in for the Shimabukuo fight. Also the anime doesn't really use the "English" that Hawk speaks in the manga. ![]() However, the 3rd season airs it in the last 4 episodes. Episode 76 isn't part of the manga story, it was a dvd extra (that wasn't on the English version) There might have been a flashback or recap episode in the anime, but not really in the manga.īig thing is anime ignored the Kamogawa flash back that happens after the Hawk fight. ITs been a while since I watched the anime, and read the manga the anime covers, but from what I remember (and i might be wrong about a few things) the differences between the anime and the manga:Īnime cut out a few minor things like the Black Aoki bit when Ippo is preparing to fight Jason Ozuma. In my humble opinion, I think Rising did a fantastic job adapting the arcs chosen. Personally, the anime is what got me into HNI and I think that even if some of the events were a tad bit screwy, it didn't put me off from continuing on after the show ended. The biggest example of what Rising did as far as keeping with the manga was the Kamogawa flash back, which should've happened around the time New Challenger was being aired (if we're following the manga) but got pushed to the end of Rising. The most notable example I could think of is the whole penis gag between the Okinawa boxer and Ippo.Īs far as Rising goes, I know they ignore one thing from the manga that involves Takamura's world title fight, but considering how that issue was resolved rather quickly and pushed away as a side note, I could see why they didn't expand on it. New Challenger and Rising do adapt from the manga, it's just that they have to cut out a few scenes here and there to make up for the time in an episode or to keep with the 26 episode set they already agreed on.
