@sploog321 Yes, but a referee is supposed to be a neutral party. There's a difference between fans and a professional referee, he gets paid to do his job not to pick sides on who's the bigger thug.

@strmshdow84 Because that's how people treat Mashiba for looking like a bad guy.

@SeaTurtle Just give up on that, it's like hoping to see the end of Berserk or Vagabond soon

its been a while since I read this... is there been any romantic development between ippo and mashiba's sister or his kousai's sister?

mashiba is getting a character development meanwhile ippo is still the very same person he was at the start of the series lol.

I"m sorry but that's so shit (not Mashiba's development). If the ref has noticed all the blows why hasn't he started docking points and threatening to disqualify? They should've just made him stay oblivious to it all or say he was paid off...

That character development <3

Way back when Mashiba was first introduced I never would have believed I'd start rooting for him yet here we are. Awesome (and properly lengthy) redemption arc. Now we just need Makunouchi's choice to become a "monster", Kumi needs to stop holding him back if she loves him.

he's almost at SSJ ?

I WILL GATHER THOSE MATERIALS FOR YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!
