Hajime no Ippo - Ch. 1318 - The Man From Manhattan

Takamura looking all serious like that would make you think he's almost a different character. That said...

Those ears still creep me out...

It is still very interesting how a lot of people still struggle to understand that even if we get "realistic" and say that supernatural stuff can't exist, "luck" is still one of the most important factors in being successful in anything. You can have crazy talent and be exceptionally clever and smart, but if bad situations keep happening to you then even an amateur can surpass you in a single moment just because that amateur had the luck of being in the right place at the right moment by mere accident.

Chess masters had to give up matches against vastly inferior opponents just because they suddenly felt they had to go to the bathroom and couldn't hold it in. Hannibal and most of his best generals lost very important battles because their war elephants accidentally rampaged towards their own armies instead of the enemies. The massive Xerxes' persian army lost the war against the divided greeks because a storm destroyed a big portion of their army while they were sailing. Etc.

Mahjong chads rise up

We all know Takamura will pull some roast stuff. We have been through this many time already.

 

[Gurennoheyakara]

When Tenhou and Chihou get mentioned and you know what they're 'cause you've read Ten, Akagi, Kaiji and other stuff from Fukumoto-sensei.
That's culture.

After reading some Tetsunaki no Kirinji, damn I was surprised.

@LTman86 Ahhhhh I see it now, thank you very much.

 

[Amplify]

As a big fan of Akagi and almost any Mahjong related series, I wholeheartedly approve!

 

[LuvitusMaximus]

I'm sure takamura is gonna joke around about how aoki and kimura can't become champions..

 

[misutero]

Better Call Akagi.

I think it would be interesting if Takamura lost this fight, but there's no way the writer would do that.
