Seriously, what is this?

2 Name:Unknown Japuzz Watcher[] Posted: 26/05/29(Fri) 09:17:28 ID:GD5g
I’m 20, and I know it.

3 Name:Unknown Japuzz Watcher[] Posted: 26/05/29(Fri) 09:24:04 ID:OOkv
Never read it.

4 Name:Unknown Japuzz Watcher[] Posted: 26/05/29(Fri) 09:24:45 ID:LH8S
Someone recommended it to me, but it wasn’t that interesting, so I dropped it early on.

7 Name:Unknown Japuzz Watcher[] Posted: 26/05/29(Fri) 09:26:05 ID:ISfd
Honestly, I only know the early part.

9 Name:Unknown Japuzz Watcher[] Posted: 26/05/29(Fri) 09:26:52 ID:pBzw
Wait, does nobody know Ishimaru’s famous line?

10 Name:Unknown Japuzz Watcher[] Posted: 26/05/29(Fri) 09:27:09 ID:qHQ6
I’m from that generation too, but I only read volume 1.

11 Name:Unknown Japuzz Watcher[] Posted: 26/05/29(Fri) 09:27:11 ID:ISfd
Honestly, the one-shot is the funniest part.

13 Name:Unknown Japuzz Watcher[] Posted: 26/05/29(Fri) 09:27:59 ID:1xYg
The one where Atsushi did a voice role.

14 Name:Unknown Japuzz Watcher[] Posted: 26/05/29(Fri) 09:28:01 ID:0lwl
When you think about it calmly, “he became the fastest because he kept getting used as an errand boy” is kind of a stretch.

15 Name:Unknown Japuzz Watcher[] Posted: 26/05/29(Fri) 09:28:30 ID:BW5G
Lines like “Even if we only score 1 point, we just have to hold them to 0,” or “Even if they score 100, we just need 101” felt so dumb that I quit reading.

16 Name:Unknown Japuzz Watcher[] Posted: 26/05/29(Fri) 09:29:13 ID:LpnD

I like those kinds of bluff-heavy extreme takes.

17 Name:Unknown Japuzz Watcher[] Posted: 26/05/29(Fri) 09:30:18 ID:pBzw
“This feeling before a game is nice, isn’t it? It’s like… your blood goes cold or something.” I can’t believe nobody knows this super versatile famous line… If you use this in front of people around 30, I think they’ll crack up.

18 Name:Unknown Japuzz Watcher[] Posted: 26/05/29(Fri) 09:30:44 ID:v9PK
That still means there’s a 1% chance of losing.

19 Name:Unknown Japuzz Watcher[] Posted: 26/05/29(Fri) 09:31:20 ID:0lwl
If there’s a 99% chance of winning, that’s good enough.
If you worry about even the last 1%, you won’t be able to do anything, dumbass.

It’s also fun how Senku from Dr. Stone, which has the same original author, has a personality that’s kind of similar to Hiruma.

23 Name:Unknown Japuzz Watcher[] Posted: 26/05/29(Fri) 09:35:20 ID:uty3

Dr. Stone’s vibe felt way too much like it was aimed at elementary school kids, so I couldn’t do it.

30 Name:Unknown Japuzz Watcher[] Posted: 26/05/29(Fri) 09:41:57 ID:2rsM
It’s pretty fun, honestly.

35 Name:Unknown Japuzz Watcher[] Posted: 26/05/29(Fri) 09:48:08 ID:1n8o
The kind of thing you know about but haven’t actually read.

36 Name:Unknown Japuzz Watcher[sage] Posted: 26/05/29(Fri) 09:48:35 ID:uhAp
It really does have a lot of famous lines and scenes.

37 Name:Unknown Japuzz Watcher[] Posted: 26/05/29(Fri) 09:50:13 ID:pBzw
Looking back now, the Inagaki × Murata duo was insanely stacked.

38 Name:Unknown Japuzz Watcher[sage] Posted: 26/05/29(Fri) 09:55:43 ID:uhAp
Hiruma had always forced things to go his way through blackmail,
but when Musashi said he was quitting American football, the only thing Hiruma could do was appeal to him emotionally and ask if there was really no way.
That scene is great too.
Because he knew it wasn’t something you could force someone to do.

The fact that the final play of the championship was the 60-Yard Magnum is just so good.

39 Name:Unknown Japuzz Watcher[] Posted: 26/05/29(Fri) 09:57:41 ID:0hBr
I remember laughing my ass off at Clifford’s funny face.

40 Name:Unknown Japuzz Watcher[] Posted: 26/05/29(Fri) 09:58:35 ID:rboO
It was fun, but it never made me want to actually play the sport.
