Tomorrow's Joe (Ashita no Joe) is a boxing manga created by Asao Takamori and Tetsuya Chiba that was serialized in Shōnen Magazine from January 1, 1968 to May 15, 1973. After the end of its serialization, it was collected into 20 volumes by Kodansha Comics.The manga tells the story of a young man named Joe Yabuki and his boxing career, beginning from when he meets the man who would later become his trainer, Danpei Tange, in the San'ya slums.Tomorrow's Joe has been adapted into various media, including Megalo Box, which was made to celebrate its 50th anniversary in 2018.Expect any Japanese Boxing Episode to have at least one Shout-Out to it, usually in the form of a character sitting slumped in a corner with heavy line-hatching. | |

Take That, Audience! | |
Tomorrow's Joe (Manga) / int_3ea462d7 | comment |
Take That, Audience!: Part of the manga can easily be seen as a take that aimed at boxing audiences who want to see bloody slugfests and K.O's and don't care how dangerous and damaging these kinds of fights are to the boxers, or about the technical and strategic aspects of the sport. This is even explicitly brought up during one fight when the audience starts to complain that the fighters aren't at each other's throats every second, and justify it with "they paid for a ticket". | |

Bittersweet Ending: Joe fails to defeat Jose in their final match, but put up such an incredible fight that the prideful Jose is shocked to the core at the sheer tenacity Joe exhibits and considers him a Worthy Opponent. Unfortunately for Joe, we last see him being carried out of the arena in the arms of his trainer, and the manga leaves it ambiguous if Joe was actually killed. Even if he did, Joe died doing something he loved and has proved himself to the world, at the very least allowing him to die happy. | |

Jerkass Has a Point | |
Tomorrow's Joe (Manga) / int_6b05b601 | comment |
Jerkass Has a Point: At first, the boxing club presidents composing the Japanese Boxing Commission refuse to reinstate Danpei, openly call him mad for thinking they'd even consider doing so, and tell him to his face he's a cancer and a threat to their sport, a remnant of the time boxing used to be considered little better than street fighting that they'd rather forget about. As a boxing club owner, Danpei was constantly drunk, mistreated his boxers, and assaulted opposing boxers, referees, JBC officials, and even the public, for anything that could vaguely be considered an offense, up until they had to disbar him, and they were genuinely scared he'd resume his antics - and right after being refused, Danpei got drunk, marched back to the JBC building, and attacked them. | |

Barbie Doll Anatomy: Averted with the manga, where everybody has nipples. Played Straight with the anime, where nobody is drawn with nipples. | |

Obfuscating Stupidity | |
Tomorrow's Joe (Manga) / int_a7aef9ff | comment |
Obfuscating Stupidity: Not so much as stupidity as an act: Carlos Rivera purposely struggled against his first Japanese opponents because no matter what country he goes to, nobody is willing to fight him once they see how powerful he is. | |

Anti-Villain | |
Tomorrow's Joe (Manga) / int_d001c42c | comment |
Anti-Villain: Yoko. She antagonizes Joe mostly during the first half of the series, then organizes most of Joe's fights, and, as he puts it, toys with his fate like a demon. She is however a good person, and grows to fall in love with Joe, who likes her back in his own way. All Joe's rivals, except for Harimau, are honorable fighters that he respects in some way, despite being his opponents. | |

Training from Hell | |
Tomorrow's Joe (Manga) / int_d66cd0e6 | comment |
Training from Hell: The training regimen Danpei puts Joe and Nishi through is brutal even by pro athlete standards, and especially difficult for Nishi, as he needs to drop and maintain a certain weight to qualify for Middleweight, even though he's a natural Heavyweight. | |

Weight Woe | |
Tomorrow's Joe (Manga) / int_e7ecdeb0 | comment |
Weight Woe: As boxing has weight categories and nobody fights as a heavyweight, they all face trouble to make weight: Nishi is a natural heavyweight, but as there's very few such boxers in Japan Danpei has him fight as a middleweight. Nishi has serious issues following the diet, at least until the time Joe spends as part of a boxing circus. Rikiishi is a natural welterweight, but to keep his promise to fight Joe he slims down to bantamweight - that is, 19 pounds lighter his normal category. This plays a part in his eventual death, as his body just couldn't live long enough for rescue once Joe struck the fatal blow. After the fight with Rikiishi Joe has a growth spurt that would put him at least in the superfeatherweight category... But he wants to stay a bantam to honor Rikiishi, forcing him to a terrifying diet. Averted with Kim Yongbi, who just can't eat enough to get too heavy due to the trauma of his Dark and Troubled Past. | |

Jerkass | |
Tomorrow's Joe (Manga) / int_eb8ec7c8 | comment |
Jerkass: Joe, through and through. His Jerkass tendencies rise to the point where you have to wonder why Nishi continues to put up with him. After the Juvenile prison arc, he is more of a Jerk with a Heart of Gold. Nishi himself used to be quite the asshole. | |
