Hajime no Ippo: Will Ippo Cross the Line?

It's probably him earning his self-respect, realizing the strength of his character and choosing to help uplift others that would push him beyond the line (such as showing how far Kamogawa's coaching can go, proving himself a good role model to his students as a boxer, etc.), rather than anything inherently violent or monstrous like that. It also kinda mirrors Mashiba in a way; Mashiba who used to rely on his own abilities had since learned to take in the support of the people around him and became a man beyond anything he could've hoped to achieved before, while also directly contrasting Miyata who has cut and severed all ties he has with Ippo to move on to the next stage of his career. In Ippo's case, he learns that his coach can't give him his answers all the time (just as how he saw Takamura adapt to Bison on the fly rather than waiting for the coach for advice) and starts thinking more for himself and earn his self-respect. We can also kind of see this side of him becoming more and more confident in a way; during Mashiba's sparring, rather than letting Mashiba berate Ippo for trying to get close to Kumi, Ippo brought it back to a slugfest with Mashiba and argued back, earning Mashiba's respect and appreciation. Then in the title match, when Mashiba looked at Ippo in the audience, rather than let himself be intimidated he shot back a thumbs up towards him p.s. I love how Takmura respects Kimura and Aoki despite his treatment of them, recognizes their unwavering ambition regardless of how much of a cannon fodder they are

when I read this chapter first I was more in the ippo mindset, but recently I saw a clip of Marvellous Marvin Hagler talking about his loss to sugar ray and how despite the result he knew in his heart he won and no one could take that from him - which is basically the takamura position.

We hope Ippo ain't committing fouls when he becomes a monster

I honestly believe ippo is gonna do an speedrun towards the world stage once he comebacks, just like date once did. Because being honest he'll completely crush imai [actual japanese feather weigh champion], imai's boxing is like a more self destructive ippo when he was active, ippo will for sure see those mistakes as hes already been there. Imai doesn't stand a chance

My take is maybe after the Sendo Vs Martinez fight (I hope sendo will be okay after the fight) Ippo will eventually cross the line seeing that he has what it takes to take on Ricardo and he will have the "Monster" aura in him.

I just want ippo to come back, its been so long....

ippo's still has yet to learn, he still doesnt know the answer of what does it mean to be strong I want him to return to boxing with his own goal,he sacrifices things for it thats the ippo I wanna see when he returns

I predict Ippo is gonna cross the line once he comes face to face with Sendo’s knockout or fear on the mat against Ricardo Martinez

The line symbolises willingly getting injured for the sake of continuing the path to world champion

Cross? BLOODY CROSS??? ARNIE?!?!! KIRYU?!!??!! EDGING????
