The return of Hajime no ippo season 4

For over two decades, Hajime no Ippo has inspired millions around the world with its message of perseverance, courage, and growth. It’s more than a boxing anime — it’s a story about fighting your limits, finding your purpose, and getting back up no matter how many times life knocks you down.

The anime ended with Rising in 2014, yet the journey of Ippo Makunouchi is far from complete. The manga by George Morikawa continues to this day, exploring powerful new arcs, deeper rivalries, and emotional moments that deserve to be brought to life through animation. Fans haven’t lost interest — we’ve been waiting, rewatching, and supporting the series for over a decade because we believe in Ippo’s story.

In today’s era, where sports anime like Blue Lock, Haikyuu!!, and Megalo Box thrive worldwide, there’s never been a better time to bring back one of the genre’s founding legends. With modern animation techniques, streaming support, and a global fanbase stronger than ever, a new season of Hajime no Ippo would not just succeed — it would reignite a classic and introduce it to a whole new generation.

We’re asking studios, publishers, and streaming platforms — Kodansha, Madhouse, Netflix, Crunchyroll — to hear the fans. The story, the demand, and the passion are all here. We don’t want a reboot or a remake. We want continuation — we want to see Ippo rise again.

Bring back Hajime no Ippo Season 4. The fight isn’t over.
