Sendo's flashback at the end, I felt so bad for this dude. He lost so much and never wanted to feel that weak again, he took the path paved by his negativity to reach the finals only to be defeated by someone who was like him but took a humble path. Sendo was Ippo's "evil" counterpart in this. The flashback is a final reminder that he was vulnerable and broken, and boxing was his way to keep those feelings at bay. Seeing his later fights in the manga I love cheering for him the most. Sendo MVP!

Dude, I'm a grown man and towards the end of this vid, I still get emotional like I did back when this anime came out.

I posted this video because i couldn't found a video of this fight subbed and with out some of the talking. I never thought this could have 100 000 views, awesome, people still do like hajime no ippo. Well besides the weird resolution and the cuts made helped to prevent the video to be blocked. Im gonna try to upload the whole fight with out the cuts, and better resolution. Then people who wants to watch the whole thing can do it.

That ending when the main theme starts playing still gives me chills...

負けても評価が下がるどころか爆上げするのが千堂の魅力

29:16 There's a scene in here where Ippo mentioned him fighting to see what it means to be strong and the guitar rift made it ever more emotional. For 75 episodes Ippo fought and fought to know what it means to be strong. It's ever more prevalent in this final scene where he truly shines and wants to keep going. This scene alone is one of the most iconic scenes in anime. I've watched anime since I was a kid and this scene gives me the chills. No words hold that much power to what Ippo just said. His goal isn't grand or anything but we all can relate to him.

the side character that feels like the main character. that's sendo

13:39 2 flinches then an uppercut, Sendo is a beast

試合後の千堂とおばあちゃんの会話の、「わいまだ弱かったわ」「あんたらの子はまた一つ強うなって戻ってきたよ」っていうのが、千堂が求めて一歩が知りたかった強さなんだよな…

一歩の試合の中でもっとも好きな対決❤

This fight was so long and badass, Ippo knockouts Sendo, Sendo knockouts Ippo, it was on and off best anime boxing match.

千堂は幕の内相手に駆け引き無しに力勝負が出来る唯一無二のボクサー！！

作画もだけど、やっぱりこの試合が1番好きだな 色んな名シーンあるけどこれは超えれない

Thank you for this video. Im a girl yet i love this anime way back when i was in high school .. this is one of my favorite anime 😊 and this is my favorite fight all through out the series .. i always watch this along with Slam Dunk and Naruto before 😂

The part where they played the music always makes me cry. My favorite fight from Hajime no Ippo. Amazing story and animation 😸 👍👍👍 Thanks! 😸

Still one of the most epic fights in anime history

My favorite part of sendo vs ippo when they are in-fighting position (in fighter). They punches hours and hours until they get tired. I love every bit of the details.

"Look at him until the very end. I have to see it all! I have to see the face of the man who defeated me!" My man came with a goal to repay the L handed to him by Ippo. At the end of a gruesome fight, Sendo wouldn't allow himself to be knocked out and have no recollection of this loss like the first one. His whole thing is being a man; not just being strong but also owning up to what you can and can't do. He couldn't beat Ippo this time either, but he'll be damned if he doesn't make SOME kind of change since his first loss. Sendo is my favorite character, easily. It used to be Miyata when I only watched the anime, but seeing Sendo's progress from this point in the anime and reading up to his more current status in the manga? And his flashbacks? Sign me up for Hajime no Sendo. But yeah; go read the manga. Great stuff; shame it'll likely never be animated. Not just for the amazing fights we could have seen, but also for the amazing character growth most of the characters experience.

22:12!!! 27:37 38:38 Never a manga give me as emotion as this fight

17:17 one of the most badass fighting sportsmanship scene of an anime when it comes for competitors exceeding to their highest limitations

一歩の最後のラッシュでもう自分の負けを悟った千堂が最後の力で立ち上がって一歩の姿を崩れ落ちるまで見届けるシーンが素晴らしい！

I’ve never watched an anime fight and legitimately root for both sides before. It’s like two MC’s duking it out in the ring and it’s fuckin brutal and exciting

The mutuel respect between each other made this rematch fight even more greater

One of the best rivalries in shonen history

Been watching anime for 15 years, that sendos flash back in the end is still one of the best scenes created.

35:17 to the end always gives me goosebumps

千堂の右スマッシュをダッキングしてからの「幕の内ぃ...！」「千堂さぁん！」からのﾃﾚｯﾃﾚﾃﾚｯﾃﾚｰが熱すぎるw

サンドバッグをとんでもなく揺らす程の破壊力のある左右のフックが見えない死角から高速で来るとかえぐいよな…

i watched so much anime but i swear i always felt i have to come back to see Sendo vs Makunouchi. I think i should admit it; it is the best fight ever in anime history. Yeah guys i know you will say "did u see this fight" yes i watched One Piece and still watching Naruto Bleach FairyTail and more different anime... Total i almost watched 5k episodes but i can't forget this fight, i can't forget Hajime no Ippo.

もぅ、この試合が最終回でいいと思うほど！感動で泣きながら観ました。

That referee is the fastest thing. Can stop power punches lol.

スラムダンクでいう山王戦。ここで終わったら伝説になってた。

これと間柴vs木村と戦後編の鴨川vsラルフアンダーソンが個人的に好きな試合ベスト3

木村　対　間柴が1番好きな人いる？

この試合と高村ホークの試合は最高ですよね！なんだろう……格闘技とか多少興味ある程度だし、自分自信もこういうタイプではないのに、体が熱くなりますね(笑)

3度(？)デンプシーロール喰らって立てる千堂化け物すぎるだろ

Sendo Balboa 35:30 - when you hear that music, and that turbine engine roar; just know badassness follows suit.

I feel like Sendo was nice enough out of the ring to get Ippo at his absolute best, a real men fight, i think we ALL can feel it.

Thank you for this video, for real!

6番と7番がもってかれたわ！ が好き❤

Damn I Still get goosebumps watching this fight

新人戦の千堂の最後の気絶してるところめっちゃ好き

When Sendo loses it at 22:25 you know you're about to see a beast unleashed.

勝ったのは一歩だけど千堂もかっこよかったなぁ。35:20あたりのBGMからずっと鳥肌だったわ

All hands down the best fight in the series.

一歩って未だに試合の画の迫力凄いよね。あれ見るとマガジン見てるな～って気になる

When I saw the starting with Dempsey Roll and Sendo getting caught in it I lost my absolute shit within seconds. Immediately knew this fight won't disappoint its hype one bit.

15:23 Defintively a highlight! That fake punch was amazing!

強いってなんだろう？は今でも座右の銘です😂

強くなりたい人と強さを知りたい人

When Sendo fight theres so many impacts and lines all over.

千堂かっこいいなぁ… 関西弁ってかっこいいやつが使うと反則級にカッコよくなるよな

Omg when he use the demsy roll freaking add pop out of nowhere and omg its 2 minutes with out skip add

I'm crying because a bullied highschool boy found something that he really love and became a champion! 😭

Good old days.. my high school life i remember it

22:34 this moment when Sendo snaps still gives me chills!

this old version actually makes me cry, especially the part when sendo is with his granny.

Characters is what makes this so fucking good. Every punch meant something. So good.

this scene where ippo asking how it feels to be strong and the latest chapter in manga Ricardo also asking what it feels to be strong

作者が描いた最高の試合。並ぶものはあっても超えるものがないと思う

やっぱこの二人の試合が一番や！

千堂に勝った一歩。 その一歩に勝ったゴンザレス。 そのゴンザレスに勝った千堂。 結果、この3人だと千堂が一番強いのか…？？

表現方法がフェザー級じゃないw

i love this, i really like ippos dempsey roll i just seing it makes me happy and excited as fuck

止めてみぃ…ブチ殺すぞ…！ で審判が千堂の闘志で判断した感じが良すぎる。。

i love how sendo admits that he was defeated ..best fight ever 😊😊😊

1:27 ここからの柳岡さんのセリフ、漫画ではそうでもなかったけど アニメで見るとめっちゃ目頭熱くなる ほんと名場面だらけの試合だな

I love how the story pretty much stalled after he became the champion

一歩もスラムダンクもセンドウが一番かっこいい！！

I really love this anime

That final combo still gives me the shivers

"I want to see just how far he can go." Not very far, unfortunately. Dude gets punch drunk, quits boxing and starts training people at the gym.

It sucks that the anime didn't get another season but the manga is still ongoing for who knows how long but I like it

一歩vs千堂は、一番の名勝負だな！

Kinda forget theyre featherweights man this anime was crazy ahead of the curve

This is perfectly edited

one of the best anime fights !!

Istg almighty I love this show

ベストバウト！

This is the reason date-san kind of had bad animation for this badass fight, and it was worth it.

35 : 12 when sendo misses smasher punch.. (he knows already that he is doomed.) makunochii for the final kill

お互い主人公すぎるんよほんと

この試合もいいけど、幕ノ内vs沢村も素晴らしいと思います。

リバーブロー、ガゼルパンチ、デンプシーロールは黄金パターン

試合してなくても鷹村さんが一番かっこいい。

Nooo why did you cut “what does it mean to be strong?” aaaaaa

22:35 scream is fucking epic !!! the tiger of naniwa

When you talk to your ego in 30 secs while in knockdown...

Ippo = A boxer that dont know how to finish an opponent, always caught out being slow to land the final blow and being scared almost in all fight with that face of his.

く、くそかっこいい

One of the best fights of all time, bar none.

at 38:40 ippo uses conqueror's haki that's why sendo lost consciousness edit: this was a nice fight

until now! i still watching this cartoon. 🥺

38:40 SHARINGAN... (Sendo falls down)

7:31 you can see Sendo's mouth kinda crooked, I think it's to resemble Sylvester Stallone. What do you guys think?

I can't even understand the concept of this show because this isn't boxing at all. 😂

That opening was so explosive

this is a fight thats 40 minutes long in which one of the fighters goes down in the first minute

makanochi spamming his ult at the start of the match

That man sendo is the truth hit his ass with 2 fakes n uppercut my guy man🤣🤣
