The creator of anime's best boxing franchise is a big fan of Jujutsu Tech.
Jujutsu Kaisen and Hajime no Ippo might both be animes that have their fair share of punches thrown, but the stories centered on Yuji Itadori and Ippo Makunouchi could not be more different. While Ippo's story focuses on a young up and coming boxer trying to hit the top of the profession, Yuji's story is one of survival as he tries to survive a world fit to bursting with curses.
Ironically enough, both Jujutsu Kaisen and Hajime no Ippo share the same anime studios. Specifically, in 2013, Hajime no Ippo: The Rising was brought to life by MAPPA, many years prior to the arrival of Jujutsu Tech. Unfortunately for sports anime fans, this was the last time that they'd see Ippo trying to climb the boxing ladder on the small screen.
Hajime no KaisenIn a new social media post, Hajime no Ippo creator George Morikawa stated that"Itadori is so cool", clearly referencing the star of the supernatural shonen series. It's doubtful we'll see a crossover between these two properties, but it's clear that most manga artists are enthusiasts of other anime franchises.
Do you think we'll see Ippo return to the anime ring in the future? Which anime crossovers are you dying to see? Feel free to let us know in the comments or hit me up directly @EVComedy to talk all things comics, anime, and the world of Jujutsu Tech.
