*Credit to aronartss on Instagram* As an older brother myself, Mashiba is like my role model for the ideal older sibling. Despite his rough personality, he's really sweet to his sister, willing to go beyond his limits just to make sure his sister can live comfortably without worry, and his ultimate goal in life is to protect her, at least according to his INSANE defense on Ippo, but still. And if I'm not mistaken, he's helping her get into college, an absolute GOAT of an older sibling

The resemblance is disturbing lol

Justice for my boy 😔

After rewatching the series, I gained a huge interest in Sendo, and found a respect for him on par with my respect to Volg and Ippo due to their massive love for their moms (which if you haven't called your mom in recent times aside from mothers day, you should) due to his personality. It's just something about his drive, his goal, his nature, it's oddly charming. He's always looking for someone who can truly challenge him, takes great joy in boxing, despises those that pick on the weak or flaunt their power unjustly and whenever he grins or smiles during a fight, there's a genuine joy and a crazy fire burning within him that just emanates from him. Oh and he most likely hasn't forgot about his promise to the kids from his town, that's still funny to me.

May 11th is now the day WE shall recognize Mashiba

I'm not sure why, but the look in Oguri's eyes, the determination to keep racing and refuse to quit for things such as health or saftey, the color of her intimidating aura and her eyes in the anime, even her ashen gray hair, it just reminded me all of Joe, and I'm not sure why. Granted I do play UBG and Joe has a burn move in that game which put's a sort of gray/white-ish blue flame on small patches across his body and around the ring and the color scheme is similar, the way they act emotionally, at the very least when it comes to anything other than their favorite sport (or in Oguri's case food and racing) just seems so similar.

SHE'S EVERYWHERE!

For reference, I read a story by like a literal CHILD, (at least I think so based off the writing style and names) and not only the story, but the comments as well were WAY better, AND THEY HAVEN'T UPDATED IN 4 YEARS, ALSO IT'S A FANFIC! Someone stop Webnovel users bro
