Danpei's looking away from Joe completely unaware of his life slipping away, pre-occupied only with whether his boxer is the new world champion. Like the fights back in Juvie where he explains to Nishi that boxing has no room for empathy, only a cold fighting machine "We need a machine that will keep on fighting... until the end." Meanwhile Youko never takes her eyes off him, like the matches in Juvie where Joe tells her "You orchestrated this, you have to keep watching until the end".
Give a break to Danpei. Many times he tried to stop Joe from killing himself because of boxing. By the time Joe was fighting Jose, he had understood that Joe himself would never place his own safety or future above the ring he felt alive in. Danpei by then cared about Joe like a son, but he understood painfully well that boxing was everything to Joe, and as his trainer he could only push him forward.
Tbh it takes a man to realize that Ashita no Joe is actually the manliest anime out there The way it portrayed rivalry and friendship between men just goes beyond me
This brought my old man to tears as he showed this to me. This impacted him so much that he lived his life not that seriously and always smiling and telling me everything will get better. He tells me not to take problems too seriously and ask for help when needed. I'm so glad to have a wonderful father.
While AnJ is of course a manga showing the dark side of boxing and the harshness of life, I still fully believe it's also an inspirational manga. Despite all the shit Joe goes through, he still finds a way to laugh and smile. He always tries his hardest, remaining optimistic and hopeful. Whenever Joe finds out he can't get his boxing license, his first thought is to punch Wolf. This hypes up the public, which forces the boxing association into giving him one. Whenever Rikishi dies, he eventually returns to boxing after a long break, and gives everything he has into coming back and fighting Carlos. And whenever he starts facing weight issues and the severe effects of his punch drunk syndrome, rather than doing the sane option and fight in a higher weight division or quit, he remains stubborn. He chooses to fight with the terrible cards life dealt him. Although reality may try to stop Joe through every turn, things always end up working out for him
@@FlorisGerber In Japan , Ashita No Joe is very popular. Unfortunately in the U.S. , especially where I live in America, no one talks about it. Not alot of people in America have even watched or heard of Ashita No Joe , except a few hardcore American Anime and Manga fans I met online that know their stuff. And I'm a huge Ashita No Joe fan myself . I wish Ashita No Joe had more fans in America. It deserves more recognition and praise . ❤🥊
@@ZatohRondohoon3227 The aching in my chest that I get from Ashita No Joe , is saying something. I've never really cried to an Anime and Manga . There's only a few Anime or Manga that managed to do that for me. Ashita No Joe being one of the series to make me cry . If you can make someone cry or feel pain from reading or watching you're story ,in this case a Anime or Manga, then you are doing something right. It's not a easy thing to achieve. I'm glad to witness this masterpiece. ❤🥊
@@foregroundeclipse8725 Preach. It sure is a masterpiece. And while it has the story and art of its time, its ending is also one of the, saddest endings that really tells a lot. It is really heartbreaking to see that part every time.
I think there are no words to describe this work, it is beautiful wherever you want to see it. The conclusion and conflict, all to get to this moment. Giving the gloves to the love of his life knowing that he has fulfilled his mission, his fire became so powerful that he blinded everyone, and consumed everything without leaving anything, only white ashes remained. I think that Ashita no Joe is the most beautiful tragedy I have seen in my entire life, passion, nobility, glory, honor, love, breaks, affection, and reflections are things that are constantly played within the work. Joe Yabuki, a being who starts out as a horrible person, but deep down he always wanted to be good, his growth throughout the series is a step towards becoming a man. The second ending of this season, which I consider one of the most beautiful in the entire industry (if not the most beautiful), shows Yoko looking at Yabuki, her eyes shine, it is not because of sadness or happiness, she is moved. She sees how Yabuki has transformed into who he is and she can't help but get emotional. The relationship between them always gives you hints about their mutual crush on each other, I think Yabuki also fell in love with her, but he didn't want to accept it. In chapter 44 where Yoko tries to stop him and ends up proposing, Yabuki for a second looks happy and sad at the same time. He knows that he will not be able to enjoy that love because his end was already written, "The strongest man in the world is waiting for me in the ring, so I have to go. Thank you." Yabuki feels loved once again but he knows that he can't do anything about it. He is such a charismatic and protective character of his loved ones and although he was late, a good person. He fights for who he is and to prove to himself what is in the honor and nobility of fighting. In my opinion, he never stopped being one of the most human characters I've seen in an anime, we can understand how he feels at all times and we know why. I can only say thank you Ikki Kajiwara and Tetsuya Chiba for delighting us with such a work. To think that it ended half a century ago makes me only say one thing, Ashita no Joe is a classic that will never die, we love and will always love you Joe, wherever you ended up.
I still haven't been able to watch all 150 episodes or read the 20 volumes, but I really wanted to see this ending. Seeing it for myself, there's no real doubt that Joe dies in the ring. It's incredibly sad, but also beautiful. No wonder people still talk about this story today.
Explain the ending of ashita no joe The essence of that page is not whether he lives or dies. We know that Joe closed his eyes without thinking he would die or wake up. He simply thought, “I burned out,” and was completely satisfied. It's not a sad ending anyway.
@@RandomPerson28337 Not true. Cause even one of the authors said that he didn't kill Joe. He wanted to represent him facing tomorrow. Plus the readers are allowed to determine what happened to him. Basically you believe he passed. Just like I believe he's still alive.
@@ProtomanButCallMeBlues Same. It truly is a beautiful scene. Fun fact, originally the manga would've ended with Yoko taking care of a punch drunk Joe.
Querido Joe Yabuki Eres la llama ardiente que desafío los límites, el espíritu indomable que inspiro a todos los que te rodean. Tu valentía en el ring y tu dedicación inquebrantable son un ejemplo de perseverancia y determinación....
The original song "Midnight Blues" fits more cause it's actually a happy ending, joe was done with his life and was ready to leave already. He left satisfied, burned his flame and left his mark on the ring.
@ I completely agree I changed my opinion on the song like a month or so after watching it, I didn’t think about how it’s more of a bittersweet ending rather than just a sad one
@@Lebelet I just made a little research myself and found out that the ending is apparently a somewhat huge topic in japanese manga-culture. People habe been theorizing wether Joe‘s alive out not since the day the final chapter released. The author of the manga later claimed that Joe died by his interpretation. The artist said the same after that, but was more ambiguous about it, saying he purposely drew it so adult can realize he died but children may think he’s just asleep. 🤔 So I think you can safely keep your title 👍🏻
@@tacoknight5027 I also did my research on my side and I find the same thing as you. I didn't know that the creator of ashita no joe really wanted to leave doubts about joe's death. Well, finally I replaced the title with "the end of joe yabuki" I think that it better describes this scene
Hehe, relax guys, turns out he’s still alive, as any doctor can tell you corpses can’t sit in that position without falling to the ground, still, i really liked what was attempted in this scene.

To be honest, it is an insult for it to be called an anime, or a manga. Rather, it shall be known as a masterpiece, the best piece of fiction ever written. This art of work leaves an expression of love, hate, melancholy, bewildered, anger, ambition, and reluctance to it's audience. The ending is unarguably the most desirable and fulfilling there is in the art of literature. Despite me knowing how it ended, when I witnessed it, it left natural emotions that left me thoughtfully sitting for days, trying to absorb this artwork of a mastery. I thank God for showing me this piece exists and the mangaka for creating this art.
Why would it be an insult to be called an anime or a manga when it naturally is that? As comics, novels, animation or live action, they are all just a medium to tell a story whether its trash or masterpiece. With that said, yes, truly one of the best in the industry.
You inspired me to find it. あしたのジョー2 BGM - Ballad Ⅱ or "Ashita no Joe 2 - BGM - Ballad 2 It can be found by either name. Finally, I can rest easy. Can't find a clear answer to who composed it. Between Joe Yamanaka and Ichiro Araki. It seems to fit Araki's style perfectly though, possibly co composed.
I hope Ashita no Joe gets a renaissance of it’s own like Jojo did.
MEgallo box is its spiritual sucessor
Pls not like JoJo, never like JoJo
I don't want to see ever in my lifetime weird dank memes about Joe being in love with Rikiishi.

I second this, even though I’m a JoJo fan myself
I’m disgusted with shit like that
We only need for the blurays to be licenced and a remaster for the first season, no need to animate anything...it's a Masterpiece as it is...

I love how you used the whistle at the end. It just felt like Joe's one last final tune before he passes.
This is one of the best if not the best endings in manga and anime history.

To me, this is the best ending of any stories. I still cry manly tears…
this is easily the best ending of any work ive ever seen
Yo my man wasn't dead after all he was just nappin

I might give it a shot to watch this.
It starts off weird and wonky but you'll get used to it with time. It's just so worth it in the end
your php say so😅
real this shit made me sad and I haven't even seen this anime in my life
The Dezaki version of the anime is great, but comics>anime this
As a watcher of boxing. watching this after the story of Gerald McClellan, it makes Carlos' and Joe's story more sad
Heard of jerry quarry
Gerald didn’t get to go out like this unfortunately, he got cheated out of the good fights with Toney and Jones, and so did us fans.
What about guy who changed boxing rounds forever?
Beautiful rendition, well edited
thank you!
