Well, his intro chapter showed he pretty much didn't give a shit about boxing as a sport, he only did it as a way to be violent without getting in trouble. So I wouldn't be surprised if he disappeared because he felt like it, or perhaps a shady part of his past stuck its' nose out.

Man this guy is psycho:
https://mangadex.org/chapter/de712b82-3cc6-414f-ae7e-95cf578a03ec/10And I thought Hawk was bad.
-
Hey, look. Actual hair:
https://mangadex.org/chapter/50ed04f7-5261-4f6e-bde1-48e06ee05f0e/7I guess his previous hair was just the worst dreds in history.
-
"It's not exactly making him sympathetic." You said it.
https://mangadex.org/chapter/25d994fe-8e9b-42c1-88ca-5e5a74554e63/6 -
"Have it twirled". I still don't know what to call that hair.
https://mangadex.org/chapter/da14e6e8-4109-4acf-90c9-f14391b1c16e/9That said, is this the first time we've seen Ippo sit with the Hell's Society?
-
I really can't get used to Rosario's hair. I wish it could get roughed during the match and we don't have to look at it any longer.
-
A bit much for an entrance, but whatever:

Me either. He looks infinitely better straight. And I don't think I've ever seen a Puerto Rican with hair like it. Failed research, Morikawa.
-
@Satsuki I can't decide if
- Morikawa is under the illusion he came up with the coolest hairstyle ever and no-one in his team dares to tell him otherwise,
- or he wants Rosario to make readers feel uneasy, in which case the hair nails it 100%
-
I keep thinking the hair are giant flesh tubes. Which weird in a real life manga.
-

This is true. Although it also is a reaction of, "OMG, you're ugly."

This presumes there was an attempt a research this is Morikawa simply being a manga artist/writer indulging in their most batshit.
-
The most "research" I've seen so far is for Mexico. I'm guessing he figured he knew everything he needed to know about the US from movies.
-
If that was the case to quote Chris Rock he’d have a Native American character that has the features of someone of Puerto Rican descent.
-
One of Morikawa's short chapters:
https://mangadex.org/chapter/566b7f20-e2a6-428a-a7df-499eb5b2a08c/9I've decided that when you look at him from afar Rosario's hair makes it look like his brain is showing.
-
Morikawa's good at making screwed-up faces:
https://mangadex.org/chapter/2324a6c5-2a13-4a19-91fb-0629c026cd4f/18 -
Rosario is pretty boring.
-
Mashiba, can you just destroy this guy already so I don't have to look at his hair anymore?
https://mangadex.org/chapter/e92e22b5-92a6-4a04-88eb-d1b333a996c3/2 -
Damn I knew you didn’t like it but still.
-
I don't know why it just BUGS me.
-
Oh it does look weird.
But this is the same manga that gave us Eleki Battery & Papaya two guys with equally fucked up hairstyles.
You’ve even had a few guys running around with mullets which have never been in style (and I will hear no arguments to the contrary).
-
Aren't you supposed to spit out the water they give you in the corner, not swallow it?
https://mangadex.org/chapter/a32350bb-3b55-4109-98a1-c8468fd1cc69/5 -
Usually yes, though they will sometimes swallow a small amount.
-
Isn't it because if you swallow it there's a chance you'll puke it up if you get hit hard enough in the gut?
-

Yes, actually.
-
Looks like Morikawa may be setting us up for one messy ring.
-

Well that and the fact that depending on how much blood you have from cuts and such you don’t want to really be swallowing that.
-
If Ippo's not careful he'll punch someone in the audience:
https://mangadex.org/chapter/143d3ca4-ed4c-4b07-9178-96067310faa6/15 -
Double dip boring huh?
-
These chapters are too short:

Finally:
https://mangadex.org/chapter/a63f1c1f-afbf-4359-87f2-beb5187d500a/13Punches that can change everything are part of what's fun about boxing.
-
I always feel bad for Refs who have to jump in between boxers. Seems dangerous:
https://mangadex.org/chapter/430c6a65-3417-4ec0-b17b-1d775d42dd43/15 -
Man, I'm hanging to the edge of my seat. Thanks for the link, as ever.
Footnote: recently, your links somehow open right in the middle of the chapter if not at its very end. I still enjoy the read, but on a couple occasions it has been spoilery. -

https://mangadex.org/chapter/430c6a65-3417-4ec0-b17b-1d775d42dd43/15No more dangerous than taking so many hits you wind up in the hospital with Brain Trauma or your whole face bandaged with a probable broken jaw.
-
How odd. No idea why.
-
Okay, now Morikawa is just trolling us:
https://mangadex.org/chapter/39cc8a9a-c075-43cf-a745-434a0d5b7e21 -
In the end, the hairstyle was so he could enter super-sayan mode ? Clever.
But yeah. An entire chapter spent on the break ? Come on.
-

Funny you should say this because I was just thinking his hair resembled Majin Buu ears sprouting all over the top of his head.
-
Uh oh, the cheating begins.
https://mangadex.org/chapter/a6ed14f7-cfb9-4abf-975e-3267be9d09ba/11 -
Refs are so useless.
https://mangadex.org/chapter/b29ef510-f28d-442a-b8fe-4d4fc59d577a/18He doesn't even bother hiding it.
-
With the exception of the referee in the Volg-Sendo, Itagaki-(whoever the fuck), Volg-American champion fight.
The referees in HnI are largely competent (unrealistically enough).
-
It's hard not to get pissed off:
https://mangadex.org/chapter/c83ffb30-7dfd-4806-9ace-fe412797472e/2 -
Mashiba, it's one thing to fight dirty, it's another thing to fight stupid:
https://mangadex.org/chapter/69a3ff2b-69e7-46d6-8fb7-67fbb5ae7b0a/9 -
Be your own man, Mashiba:
https://mangadex.org/chapter/33d614fd-24ee-4cf0-abbf-2fb7e969d655/2 -
I'm not remembering who Mizutani is.
https://mangadex.org/chapter/e1f79ace-e7d7-49cc-8942-ea5566b76059/8 -
I'm eager to see what's next and keeping fingers crossed that Mashiba pulls through. He has made some real progress with this match, it would be a shame to see his self-control be rewarded by defeat. Especially against Rosario.
-
Damn, Round 6 already?
https://mangadex.org/chapter/22d55900-4978-42af-82aa-016ca6d8aa79/13Tension is rising though.
