1. Synopsis

Hajime no Ippo: Rising is the third season of the Hajime no Ippo anime that continues the struggle of Ippo Makunouchi as the Japanese featherweight champion. After defeating his previous opponents, Ippo now faces new challenges to defend his title while dealing with injuries and increasing rivalries.

Ippo begins the arc with a title defense fight against a Filipino champion named Gedo, who pushes Ippo to his limits. Although he wins, Ippo suffers a severe shoulder injury and is forced to take a long break by his coach Kamogawa, making him reflect on his future as a boxer. Meanwhile, gym mates like Aoki and Kimura are also pursuing their own ambitions.

During Ippo's recovery, the focus shifts to his rival, Miyata Ichirou, who moves up to super featherweight to challenge the world champion. Miyata leaves the Kamogawa gym and promises to meet Ippo in the ring as a true professional, adding to the tension of their rivalry. Takamura remains a tough mentor, preparing himself for a middleweight world championship match.

Ippo returns to the ring with a non-title fight to test his condition, facing boxers like Ozma who test his endurance. He learns to cope with pain with Kamogawa's advice, such as pretending not to feel the punches, and succeeds with a devastating uppercut to his opponent's chest. This arc also features Aoki's match against Imae Katsutaka for the flyweight title.

The season concludes with Ippo facing a new challenger who claims to have a counter for the Dempsey Roll, while the Kamogawa gym flourishes with young boxers like Itagaki.

The story emphasizes Ippo's mental growth outside the ring, including his relationship with Kumi and his determination against self-doubt. Hajime no Ippo: Rising aired from October 2013 to March 2014, with 25 episodes of realistic boxing action.
