ASHITA NO JOE WIKI PROFESSIONAL
ASHITA NO JOE WIKI SERIES

Joe is nearly dead at that point in the fight and his brain has been rattled like a maraca at that point, hence why he's going off instinct and bringing out his first-learned techniques.

However, that was back in the prison and he hadn't used those abilities for most of his professional career. Yes, Joe did learn his no-guard techniques by watching that kid. Lunge's wording about the konnyaku, aka 'no guard,' techniques, as well as the wording of the manga, implies something that isn't true. Otherwise, the rest of the fight proved that Joe couldn't hold a candle to Jose when it came to skill.Дў. Jose dominated the final fight of the manga and Joe only got as far as he did due to luck early on and his massive pool of stamina. If Kim didn't have such an affliction, this wouldn't have happened and Joe would have likely lost. Joe only got his hits in after his speech about Rikishi and got a knockout opportunity after a cut on his forehead triggered Kim's PTSD from the Korean War and rendered him a screaming mess. When fighting highly technical Kim Yong-Bi, Joe tried blitzing and ultimately got his ass kicked. When fighting Carlos, his definite equal at that point in the manga, neither fighter could knock the other out and the fight devolved into a street brawl that ended in a draw. I go over this point in more detail in my Joe vs Ippo Removal essay ( here), so I'll summarize my points really quickly: While Joe has shown the ability to learn techniques quickly, he ultimately tosses it all aside with his usual strategy of 'run in and keep swinging until the opponent falls' and frequently struggles against opponents that are very technical or equal in skill to him. While the points Lunge made above are true, there's two points I'd like to go over:ДЎ. Intelligence: I'd settle for 'Highly Gifted' when it comes to boxing. Do I think that qualifies him to get an acrobatics tag? No. Has he shown similar physical capabilities earlier in the manga like when he scales wall and hops fences? Yes. Did he jump close to six feet in the air? Yes. You could argue that he could have sidestepped and punched then, but what hurts more, hitting someone who's spinning from the side or stopping their rotation very suddenly with a punch to the face? That's more of a testament to his boxing instincts than his acrobatic ability. He does this tactic exactly once in the fight and the manga as a whole. Joe doesn't 'outjump' Harimau, he jumps straight up to not be in Harimau's path and punches straight down. However, I still think the speed calc should be redone.ДЄcrobatics: I don't agree with this. As moment of inertia takes in total height, that calc isn't affected by scrunching, so the AP is fine. Half his height was used as a base diameter, but I don't agree with that, as that's assuming Harimau's torso + head are equal in length to his legs, which I don't believe is true, and he's very scrunched up while spinning his back isn't straight when he does it, so some height is lost. I've gone over all the points above and here's what I think.ДЄP and Speed: I've mentioned this before to Lunge, but I still believe that Harimau should be pixel-scaled to confirm the distance he's spinning. So I've previously talked at length about Ashita no Joe and have been asked to weigh in on this thread by Lunge. He also showcased decent intelligence outside of boxing too, like when he manipulated Wolf and his manager to let him officially box, and even making a legitimate prison escape plan that would've been successful had Rikishi not interfered. He copied konnyaku techniques, while punch drunk, just by remembering it, developed the no guard stance by himself, developed a tactic against Wolf Kanagushi just by seeing the bruises on children he beat up, and finally copied, the corkscrew punch, a very advanced technique from the champion of the world Jose Mendosa just by, again, looking at it. He learnt to jab in literal seconds, noticed Carlos's hidden elbow while no one else, even the referee, did, c ommented as a genius by Danpei, and god, is he a technique sponge. One last thing, Joe's intelligence should be gifted to maybe even genius in terms of boxing IQ. Second, Joe should receive acrobatics, considering in his fight with Harimau, who was literally fighting by jumping all around the boxing ring and dealing numerous uppercuts while spinning in mid air, Joe ultimately defeated him by literally outjumping him. First, there's this accepted speed and AP calculation for the whole verse (only Joe's profile exists now tho).

So, yeah, my very straightforward CRT about Ashita no Joe series I'm probably the only person in this whole wide world to give a shit about.
