That makes a lot of sense.

I do agree that the injuries are ignored a bit too easily. Like when Ippo busted his hand and the bones were poking through his skin and he healed that right up by having the bone set by the special bone-setting lady doctor and not punching for a couple months, though it did affect him quite a bit in the upcoming fight. He was having a hard time punching effectively with his broken hand because mind games, in the fight itself he had to worry about a re-injury, can't say they didn't try to put a lot of plot work into justifying it all, and they sure did use that injury to keep everything interesting.

Actually Ippo didn't need a bone setting doctor because his hand was in bad condition.

He needed the Bone setting doctor because he wanted to heal his hand at a faster rate because he would have been recovering too long and would have missed the Rookie's final.

Oddly enough I kind of wanted her to remain in the series... But even she probably could see that Ippo could have his hand turned to dust and still recover without so much as a scar.

Hence why I didn't mention it. The odd thing is Guninanrunin is that while you COULD say he paid for it, it also enhanced his abilities far beyond what it had been earlier thanks to his leg training.

Ok Ippo has finally given me something I love enough to comment on.

Dang I love Bryan Hawk. Every villain before this kind of played a minor villain or a half-villain or someone who really just looks monstrous. Basically the show had no real villains... until now...

Bryan Hawk takes the villain ball and knocks it out of the park! and everyone eats it up soo much! Like they didn't even treat it as smack talk faux rivalry, they act like he just punched a baby. He has style dripping out of his ears and horrible blonde hair.

I laughed for like the entire time I saw him. He is so overblown I love it!

Better yet his characterization is pretty much flat out done by the Japanese perspective. Since America doesn't care about Japan. So I am basically looking at the physical embodiment of everything Japan hates about America. He is a America Elemental!!! Ohh it is too perfect. ESPECIALLY since the series has been rather good until this point. I actually want him to win!

Imagine if they combined Bandit Keith from the abridged series with Yami Merrick from the abridged series As well as Duke Devlin... from the abridged series

He is like a combination of ALL three of those characters... and he isn't even from a series crazy enough to justify it! Heck the art sometimes shows him with jagged teeth!

He is an America Elemental!

I'm watching Stop!! Hibari-kun!

Hibari is a trans girl and titular character, depicted with dignity in a gag comic/anime, and in 1981 - 1983.
Hell has frozen over.  .O.

Also, in the anime, she looks like Bulma, and her dad looks like Mr. Satan.  x3

Man the Bryan Hawk fight is awesome and Bryan Hawk is awesome...

There is no way the ending of the fight could live up to my expectations.

Don't worry, Bryan isn't the only America Elemental we meet that Takamura fights.

How the HECK can they top him? What does the next guy give the Japanese Prime Minister a wedgie?

He all but declared war on Japan.

It's not that he tops him, but rather that he's the ANTI-Bryan. The complete polar opposite in every way. You'll know'em when you see'em.

We could use more America Elementals in general, I think.

Now I'm thinking about the really strange anti-America elemental from Gundam 00 with the obsession with Japanese culture. Whats-his-name, the forgettable one that was important enough to recur but not important enough to do much that was significant to the plot.
