There are some fanfictions where time - traveling characters interact with Ippo. For example, a character from the future comes back to help Ippo reach his full potential faster. These stories usually add new and exciting plot twists to the original Hajime no Ippo storyline. They might introduce new boxing techniques or strategies that are not present in the original anime.
Definitely! The Hajime no Ippo manga has a compelling plot with lots of exciting boxing matches and emotional character arcs. The way it portrays the sport and the growth of the main character makes it really enjoyable.
Ippo's age in the manga changes as the plot progresses. At the beginning, he's around 16 or 17 years old. As the story continues, he gets older with each new arc.
One idea could be a crossover with 'Dragon Ball'. Ippo could train with Goku and learn some of his ki - based techniques. This would not only make Ippo stronger in the boxing ring but also introduce a new element to his fighting style.
