I had a screencap of that moment the news reporters enter Joe's locker room, it was one of the most dread inducing things I've seen in anime.

Why? I'm too busy to get into a new series but also too curious not to at least ask why.

Joe accidentally kills a plot important character

Big spoilers for a massive classic.
The MC and this guy are rivals in boxing, the MC essentially grows from being a massive cunt to having lots of respect for his rival and the sport. After lots of beating around the bush they have their decisive boxing match. MC loses but agrees it was a good fight and had fun, he's in the locker room with his coach and friends when some news reporters who were monitoring the match come back and inform him that his rival had died from the damage caused in the match.
It's such a big and culturally important death that Japs have actually mourned him in real life and performed ceremonies for him.

That sounds ridiculously based.

Give it a read, user.
My opinion might not matter, but Ashita no joe is my absolute favorite

>another one of these
Why not just go to Zig Forums if you wanna keep making threads about the anime/manga.

>go to Zig Forums
I'm not sure you understand the gravity of that request.

>another Joe thread
did some eceleb made a video or something?

It isn't, user, it genuinely fucks him up, his attitude does a complete 180 for the rest of the series and causes more and more slight fuck ups that accumulate in his life.

Forgive me. Its a based plot move. That is a rare example of a good plot twist.

No. I just really like shilling this anime. I'll be honest. You probably won't be seeing any threads in the next 3 days.

It's even better.

>Rival knocks out MC
>His theme song starts playing
>Everyone's happy the rival wins, happy music and a bunch of congratulations. He collaspes but everyone thinks it's because of fatigue
>Coach is giving him the whole "Don't worry, you'll get him next time speech in the locker room."
>Reporters come in
>Coach gets mad and goes "lmao wtf are you doing here, go talk to the winner."
>Drops the bomb.
>MC has a meltdown

The way they presented the twist was really well done.

So the rival won by points then?

SMT can have bittersweet endings

He said he won by knock out. Either TKO or the main character couldn't get to his feet for the ten count.

What's with all the Joeposting recently?

KO, it's a neat scene because unlike the other adaptation, rival looks very skeleton/ghost/dead like.
