It also hasnt been licensed by an R1 company, so there are currently no plans to dub it. Ippo’s friendly rivalry with Miyata is the central aspect of the early part of the series. It hasnt been dubbed (it has, but only into Tagalog, not English). Even though they are opponents, we can sympathize with them. Ippo, who meets his opponents before the game gives us a chance to look at the background of each fighter and what drives them to fight. The plot has a heavy emphasis on the character development of each fighter, especially during the boxing matches. Both are expected to become high-ranking fighters and eventually face each other to finally decide who’s the better boxer. While Miyata trains to become the OPBF (which is the Oriental Pacific Boxing Federation) Champion. Coach Kamogawa soon comes to the conclusion that Ippo has the will and the drive to reach the top, and he’ll do everything in his power to become the Japanese Champion with a world ranking.
However, Ippo throws in a few punches that Miyata has a hard time dodging until he uses his special move: “The Counter”.
Of course, Ippo loses by KO, as Miyata is far more skilled and experienced. He chooses the most formidable opponent for him, Miyata, the same age as Ippo but a boxing prodigy and Kamogawa’s star pupil. Takamura challenges him by having Ippo spar with one of the gym members. However, this isn’t the last of Ippo’s hurdles as the gym coach, Genji Kamogawa, feels a lack of fighting spirit. Takamura invites our MC back to the boxing gym.
