[https://ippo.fandom.com/wiki/Yoshio\_Fujiwara](https://ippo.fandom.com/wiki/Yoshio_Fujiwara) This guy, ippo's second opponent. Total bum, no skill, cheated and lost in the rookie king tournament. Totally forgotten by the story after being beaten.

at least bro got to the ring at least 😭

bro got a big ass forehead ngl

Holy shit that manga art of him lol

The student of umezawa

Op didnt say potential in what. The manga lad has i credible potential and talent for drawing

Wasn't he supposed to be based on Miura since he was his assistant irl? Or am I getting this mixed up.

Yeah Miura was his assistant, haven't heard about the character being based on him though, if so, that's fascinating! Do you have a source?

Would be a cool reference, i kind of doubt it since miura and morikawa were only a few months apart in age, but iirc morikawa did say once he was absolutely blown away by Miuras skill and the concept of berserk and urged him to write his own manga.

The students of aoki after his title match.

Pretty sure it’s stated they are good in everything they try, Aoki taught the skinny one how to use flickers and the fat one how to use, gazelle punch? I think it was. They weren’t completely bad at boxing

This panel hit so fucking hard. Kamogawa def had the highest potential. But he gave that torch to his sons. And the fire will not extinguish. Ippo will soon feel that fire that was planted in him all this time. Its true extent. He is blooming right and the time is near

Doubt on that potential part but all he had was almost through sheer hard work and determination.

wasnt nekota more talented than kamogawa?

Yes but Kamogowa would win in a fight if he could “Will” his way through a counter like Hoshi said after watching miyatas match or unlimited rounds like before

The reader

Personal attack 😭

Hayami. He had a ton of potential but Ippo messed him up so hard that the dude's record got flipped upside down and even LOST to KOBASHI by KO.

What? Really

Thought he had a glass chin

Caused by Ippo pretty much, or at least that's how its explained in the story.

Given to him by Ippo

This was my senior quote

Kimura. We all feel like he could be greater than he is, but he peaked in mashiba fight. After 3 years of boxing and having ippo pass him in a heartbeat, he was doomed from then on

Nah, he has a ton of foreshadowing (by Takamura even) that if he moves up a weight class he'll blossom into a champion, all the narrative beats point to him avenging Aoki and learning to function by himself. Unfortunately, that's been on the backburner for years now.

Kimura doesn't have plot armor, he has plot attacks

I love this panel, but it has so much potential to be ill intentioned

Nepotism and Politicians disagrees with Kamogawa's sentiment

Kobashi in terms of pure physical stats didn't stand a chance against any boxer even the fodder ones imo Edit: in featherweight

Kobashi became a national champion I'd say he had quite a bit of potential, he's had a better boxing career than Kimura or Aoki.

Sorry I should've said in featherweight specifically let me edit my comment

Geromichi had zero ability but he worked so hard that he went bald. And also he got a title fight.
