Potential Speed buff for Hajime No Ippo Characters

[GimmyJibbsJr]

In Miyata's fight with Randy Boy Jr., at the very end of the fight, Miyata throws a punch that was utterly silent, only for it to create a loud noise after the punch had already finished and Miyata's hand had moved away from Randy's head.

Itagaki states that the sound only rang out after the punch had been completed, and Sendo goes out of his way to say that Miyata had broken the sound barrier. Given that the verse has characters perform subsonic feats by moving faster then the eye can track and leaving after images, this feat seems viable as it was performed by a character who is considered to be one of the fastest boxers in the manga.

It is true that other characters consistently refer to Miyata's punches as "lightspeed" in this particular fight, although this would simply appear to be exaggeration and it would be an obvious outlier.


So if this is acceptable, we could have transonic Hajime No Ippo characters.

I think that this seems reliable.

Considering that the manga has made some pretty good speed feats (either by speed or power), this seems fine to me. Transonic should probably apply to most top tiers who scale with Miyata or beyond.

And those who are above him (say takamura) should get an At Least Transonic rating in speed imo.

Okay.

Makes sense, honestly. Miyata outright stated that even at full speed, he might not be able to keep up with Takamura.

Also, even if it isn't applicable to movement/combat speed, most other characters should at least have Transonic reactions, as characters like Sendo and Itagaki were able to still actually see the punch in its entirety.

should we get someone else to look at this feat just in case?

 

[KinkiestSins]

Yeah, But I dont know anyone else who watches or reads hajime no ippo.

 

[Antvasima]

Well, this seems straightforward and not very controversial, so I think that you can probably perform the upgrades, as long as you provide useful explanations.

 

[GimmyJibbsJr]

Alright, I'll add it then

 

[Antvasima]

Okay. Remember to update all relevant Hajime no Ippo pages.
