Ippo >>> baki

The beauty of “what does it mean to be strong.” Can be summarized in the first episode. With Ippo. He’s someone who get hit over and over by life and all of its bullies, but Ippo never changes. He’s gentle and kind to everyone that he meets. You meet many boxers who are extremely talented and powerful but they are vile, and angry at the world. Ippo never is, where life hits him he responds with a hug. He’s been wondering what it means to be strong since the beginning but he’s been the strongest one all along.

I’m not ashamed to cry when I’m overwhelmed with emotion. I am ashamed when a fucking KZread comment about a sports anime overwhelms me enough to make me cry.

At the lowest point of my life I watched Hajime no Ippo and it changed my life forever. I started boxing, lost weight, gained confidence and won Bronze Medal in the National Amateur Championship. I don’t fight anymore but the lessons I learned from Ippo, I use them regularly in other aspects of my life to get better at them. Its great to see other people having similar experiences by reading the comment section. Keep pushing everyone.

Ippo's Bullys also was probably inspiring for a lot of people who can relate. Anyone can change what they can control.

Acknowledging your strength is a struggle in itself

growing up watching this series as a kid, it has been re titled as" Knock-Out" in the philippines, man I'd tell you Goku and Ippo made a huge impact in our childhood and made us the man we are today, also you earned a sub it's a great video, it is like telling us, "if you are quitting, always remember why'd you start at the first place." keep it up!

thanks homie

What does it mean to be strong? On a introvert level, to take yourself past your limits? On an extrovert level, to beat everyone infront of you. On an ambivert level, to take yourself past your limits and beat everyone simultaneously while humbly gloating how great you are. Wisdom, the fact you're not dead and can share your experience. Wisdom is experience, so if you don't experience, you gain no knowledge. Don't fear failure, learn from it, use it to do better. Every anime ever with a open ended happy new adventure ending, like it's about to begin when it's over. But it's not wrong. Some might see strength as dedication. Do you fail on purpose or with purpose? What do you do after you achieve your goal? Make new ones. It's ok to add to a goal, as much as branch out for new goals. Just be realistic in the goals set, makes life easier.

ippo made me start boxing , i bought a heavy bag , a pair of gloves and i made another person come into boxing too , we weekly or monthly spar plus i traind everyday atleast 1 or 2 hours because of my family i can't join a boxing gym but when i will go to college ( 1 more year i am preparing for one of the hardest exams in the world ) i will start boxing as a amateur

Very well done. Let's not forget the huge role of the undefeated mentor Takamura who continues to win so that Ippo can continue looking ahead for his answer. Not only did Takamura spark the first steps of Ippo into the boxing world but without him Ippo would've abandoned boxing on so many occasions. In a sense, he is the embodiment of the strength that Ippo looks for.

Bro I was so emotional thorough the ending of the video, you are a really great story teller. ❤

Ippo is a 🐐 however, this question can be answered in many ways. But one of the best ways is never giving up and facing every new day and its challenges.

You made this video eloquently. your words, the editing everything was top notch keep it up thank you for talking about one of my favourite animes 🤞🏿❤️

I needed this video so badly. Thank you so much your amazing work!

This video literally brought me to tears, and reminded me of why Hajime no Ippo is one of the greatest anime/manga ever. Thank you.

i HOPE YOURE VIDEO REACHES MILLIONS ... I am a DIE HARD fan of Ippo and i still hope for season 4 and your subscribers pushing for it and watching this anime can make it happen if it gains popularity...

HNI inspired me to start boxing. I am still an amatuer but i'm getting better by the day and already won two spars. I am thankful for Morikawa

This video essay was so good I had to pause it ... After I watch the anime I will watch it ... Thanks man really appreciate

Still getting far in the manga but seeing Ippo going from getting bullied, training to beat off bullies, holdimg his owm in the ring then become champ to inspire others in the series and irl is something truly amazing. Makes me want to complete it even more. I love boxing cuz of all this shit

This video shows what I always loved about this anime but could never put into words. You've earned a new subscriber.

good video bro, i love that people still talking about this anime, is trully a masterpiece

Thank you. I have always regarded Ippo as my favorite anime of all time. I think your analysis is great and the way you presented the true spirit of the series is beautiful. I particularly loved the way you transmit its positive message in your own words, very inspiring! It is deffinitely a video for people who have watched all the anime, and loved the story as much as I. I could even say that I hope it gets viral and motivates more people to watch it, making it so popular that we can get all the story animated until its end. Still, I think you should warn about the great spoilers😅. Great work mate! Keep them coming.👍🏼

Bro COOKED with this video. This got to get over a million views fr

The show really isn’t about boxing. It’s about the hard work, and overcoming the self doubt he experiences, to accomplish his goals, while retaining himself. And the series does a good job focusing on Ippo’s relentless training. The anime opening really says it all, highlighting the extensive training and work that Ippo is going through, the constant refinement of his skills, and only the brief moment at the end where Ippo puts that training to use. The journey is the highlight of the series. This is why this hits so close to home for the audience.

When I was a little kid my uncle was a boxer who always told me you have to be strong so for me that’s why Hajime No Ippo hits home for me

I been boxing for 13 years now because i saw this anime..and your video just remind me why am still fighting and go for my professional career... thank you !!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a well made video! This is amazing

This show stole my heart like nothing else,fantastic video!

i love the video especially the end, it is the peak

u deserve more than 5k subs bro. ill binge thru all your vids after this ippo vid.

Love this video. Spread the word of Hajime No Ippo to the masses!

I think being strong is still being able to fight for what you believe in despite anything in this world trying to get you to do otherwise, weather that's supporting your family, trying to be the strongest physically, getting up repeatedly after being beat up or be unaffected by negativity to continue being positive and kind in life

Thank you for making this video ❤

ts was lowkey the most inspirational video I think i've ever watched

I wish I would’ve have seen this when I was kid back then but glad to see it as an adult. This show has got me into the path of losing weight again, finding my meaning of being strong and so much more. I love this show and plan on continuing watching it

The feet stomping scene during the Sendo fight . Chefs kiss .

I hope i can go back and watch ippo for the first time again.

This is a great video bro! Keep going

I won't lie I loved the video and the ending really is motivational great work man

This video made me cry, again, just like the show did. Great vid bro ✨✨🏆✨✨

The end made me think, mot something most poeple can do. Thank you for this, excellent video brother.

The end of Rocky and Ippo's second fight literally gives me chills every time I watch it. GODDAMN

This was an amazing video man keep it up.

I just graduated yesterday and after hearing that last message in the video. I didn't know what to feel, cause frankly I only graduated by chance, I never deserved it. Made me really reconsider what I should be doing in life.

Thank you brother. Great video!

Ippo is the only manga I read and its only because of how much I loved the anime. I really wish it was more popular so they would continue it.

Thank you for this video. Over the last 6 months i have fallen back into depression, and addiction. After overcoming all this once before. The last 2 weeks i have been so depressed i havent gone to work, and it feels like rock bottom. I geuss ive lost sight of myself, but i know deep down all i really want is to be strong enough to overcome this. Im putting down the drugs. I ordered gloves on Saturday, and i just signed up for a kickboxing gym. Im gonna go find myself again. All this is terrifying to me, and watching this video is the first time ive really felt strong enough to do this. Thank you for your work.

Awesome video, I went to a very similar transformation training bjj (been doing it for 6 years). The fighting spirit, determination, humility lessons and conquering self doubts can be experienced in any martial art that actually has sparring and competition. I watched IPPO for the first time a few months ago and he is literally me, even the personality of Takamura reminded me of one of the bjj coaches in my gym.

Damn you Virtue, your video made me cry

awesome editt!!!!

I always knew of Hajime no Ippo but never watched, even when I used to box. I started binge watching it recently and mannnnnn it makes me want to start boxing again lol. This story is so good

Idk who this KZread is but I nodded my head yes the whole video like a bobblehead I agree so damn hard I almost feel emotional

Absolutely amazing video Great Job

W u had me with undertale soundtrack at the end

Hajime No Ippo and Vinland Saga Has litrally changed my life I had a test in school in 2023 and that is when I had watched this anime. Ippo had inspired me to work hard so much that I got 94% percentage in my first physics test on Quantum Physics. I was getting 50% before this. Since then every test, i give it my all. I always think it is like one of ippo's match, and i WON'T Give up to my weaknesses. And I rewatch episodes on KZread whenever i feel weak. I want to be a STRONGER and Kinder Person. Like Ippo Makunouchi. Like Thorfinn Karsefni.

Fact that this vid has more likes than you have subscribers is criminal. Its also quite telling of your potential as a creator. Earned my sub. Keep it up.

such a beautiful anime. i cry every time i watch it, its just THAT beautiful. 1000/1000 recommendation all MALES, to watch Ippo, well as Vinland Saga, you’ll cry as a man to these. Love and peace

The quote "What does it mean to be strong" was such a Standing point for every kid who wanted To be strong, Hajime no Ippo was always an Anime meant for everybody of any genre, and that is the true beauty of Hajime no Ippo, It's an Anime that is for everyone and Doesn't have to be for people that like boxing or Fighting in general, It's for Everyone, Every man on this planet wether they are interested in the anime or not Will always find themselves Deep inside this Boxing anime, It's Truly Superb that an anime can be so Simple but so Inspirational, It's crazy

Exactly. The boxing really is an aside, it only happened to be what Ippo happens to get involved with, and interested in. The real highlight of the show, and the Season 1 opening shows this off well, is the journey. The countless hours of training, and fighting against self doubt.

Gem of a video. Stand PROUD. STAND STRONG 💪🏽
