Hajime no Ippo Chapter 1422 will be the start of the next arc and the next step, Ippo and Kumo. The two have been close for a very long time, for almost thirty years at this point in the story. However, they still aren’t close to the point of just marrying and settling down; but then again, it is impossible to tell when this series will end.
Perhaps the reason for them still not being officially a couple has to do with the plot’s pacing. If the love interest of the story is resolved, then there is not much for them to grow as a couple anymore. However, this mostly applies to series that haven’t got over 1000 chapters to their name.
One Piece is also a series that has crossed the 1000 chapters mark, but the romance has never been the main focus of the show. In Ippo, romance is important as Kumi has been moral support for a lot of time. Moreover, after going through recent, it doesn’t seem the events will be concluded any time soon.
Hajime no Ippo Chapter 1421 Recap
Hajime no Ippo Chapter 1421 had Ippo groveling on his feet in front of his once opponent Ryo Mashiba. He had been at odds with him for a long time, although he had mostly been pacifist in his approach to him. After all, he was dating his sister and wanted to get closer to him in the future and have him as Oni-San.
Ryo was at his usual stance when it came to men in Kumi’s life and discarded their proposal of getting together. However, Ryo is also a boxer and has traded punches with Ippo once and lost in that very match. Ryo doesn’t want some weakling to have his sister, and Ippo, having defeated him, has some respect for him.
This was why he was willing to give Ippo a chance to prove himself and show that his love for Kumi was real. Which, unsurprisingly, Ippo failed; and at every single test at that, to the astonishment of both of them. This led Kumi to come up with a test that was practically a freebie, which he then proceeded to fail at.

Hajime no Ippo Chapter 1422 Spoilers
Hajime no Ippo Chapter 1422 will see the aftermath of the visit Ippo and Kumi’s visit to her brother. The two have gone there with the hopes of getting his blessings and becoming a couple in his eyes. However, things got a little complicated, and before they knew the stuff was flying out of Ryo’s house, with Kumi being the one throwing the stuff.
This, in turn, would have calmed down Ryo a little and seen Ippo as more suitable for Kumi than before. Although, now Ippo has to deal with Kumi, who is fuming and doesn’t want to talk to both of them after the incident last night. From her perspective, Ippo was not on her side when the tables were turned, and he should have supported her instead of her brother in the argument.
