. Everyone has their own reasons and goals to want to play basketball, win as a family and as a team, and learn different things. This show was very inspiring for me even though I don't play basketball. The main point of this anime is life-changing once you watch it. Reviewer’s Rating: 10 What did you think of this review?

Mixed Feelings To be straight to the point, I think KNB's biggest faults are its characters and their developments and story pacing.
Characters + Developments:
This part is very crucial in any story for viewers to develop a connection with the characters, and this is something KNB failed at doing. This is also prolly why the fandom is dead. The characters may seem

Comic Show Arc
Ippo revealing his acknowledgement of the Dempsey Roll's weakness to counters. After Ippo recovered from his match against Shimabukuro, he returned to the Kamogawa gym and was shocked to see Aoki botch his weight management and became a bantamweight. He then went to the gym's office and revealed to Kamogawa and Yagi
that he noticed the Dempsey Roll's weakness to counters during the match and realised that this was the reason for Kamogawa turning down Miyata's requests. He then told them that he also realised that they would always support him. Later after Aoki regained his weight, he asked Ippo how it felt to first hold the belt. Ippo answered that it felt accomplished, like everything that he had done meant something. When Ippo saw the lightweight champion, Katsutaka Imae claim he would "crush the frog" in a headline on a newspaper, he noted how similar it was to how Shimabukuro wanted to destroy the Dempsey Roll in a headline. Thinking that Aoki may not be able to use his Frog Punch, Ippo and his other gym mates try to help Aoki learn a technique he can mix with the Frog Punch, however, they stopped when Aoki ran away as he thought he was being made fun of. After the weigh-in for Itagaki and Aoki, Ippo went with Kimura and Itagaki outside the Kōrakuen Hall where they notice Imae and his girlfriend talking. They then witness Imae being rude to her, resulting in her crying and running away. The next day, Ippo watched Itagaki's first match of his East Japan Rookie King Tournament, which ended in Itagaki's victory.
