Everyone was anxious in the last few episodes since Mashiba’s opponent, Marcus Rosario was nowhere to be found. With the match only two weeks away, Rosario should have arrived in Japan already to get his weigh-in and adjust to the time zone. However, there was no news of him arriving in Japan or even his whereabouts.

Well, everything finally got settled in the last chapter since Rosario finally arrived and we were also given an explanation about why he had gone missing. Everyone is looking forward to the match between Mashiba and Rosario, and we will get to know more about it in Hajime no Ippo Chapter 1447.

Fans had been looking forward to seeing what kind of person Rosario would turn out to be but he completely defied everyone’s expectations. Marcus was unexpectedly ditzy and clumsy despite his threatening appearance. It was even funnier when he disclosed that he had been missing because he had been locked up in jail.

Somehow, he got involved with a crazy guy and had to pull out his gun as self defense which landed him in a lot of trouble. Hopefully, the match will progress smoothly going forward and we will get to see some action between Mashiba and Rosario in the upcoming few chapters.

Recap

In the previous chapter of Hajime no Ippo, the mood at the gym was pretty grim because of the news they had received. Mashiba’s match for the world champion title against Marcus Rosario was two weeks away but there was no news about Rosario’s whereabouts yet. Typically, he should have arrived in Japan already.

The contenders usually arrive a few weaks before the match begins to adjust to the time zone of the place and complete other formalities. However, no one knew where Rosario was and everyone was wondering if Rosario was going to be a no-show at such an important match since it would definitely strip him off his title.

Some of the gym members didn’t think it was too bad if Rosario didn’t show up since Mashiba would automatically win in that case and he would have to fight someone lower for the title of the world champion. However, we could tell that Mashiba didn’t want this kind of victory especially after all his hard work.

He had been looking forward to come face to face with Marcus Rosario and have a honest fight to win the title. Rosario not showing up would ruin everything he had worked for and crush his dreams. Ippo also realized that and he showed his anger and remorse at the possibility of it happening.

However, an unexpected call arrives and we finally get to know about Rosario’s whereabouts. Later, Marcus Rosario arrives at the airport in the nick of time and someone comes to pick him up. From their conversation, we realize that Rosario had gone missing because he got thrown in jail and it was a hassle to bail him out.

Some guy whipped out his gun and Rosario took out his gun for self protection. Well, things didn’t go so well because he got tossed in jail for misconduct anyway, and that too right when he has a match. Rosario didn’t take the nagging too well and it is obvious that he is the kind of guy who doesn’t like following too many rules.
