The mother of the junior champion is the same mother of the two wimps that tried to fight Trunks and Goten in the junior division of the Tenkaichi!

damn

Alright ep2! Can’t help but worry dad is gonna die a la Apollo creed /The Champ

Unfortunately he will not get to sing and dance with star-sprangled (or rising Sun, in his case) boxers like Apollo did.

I'm absolutely loving this

It was a really nice story, like a softened version of Ashita no Joe (which IMHO is still way better under almost any respect, despite coming earlier); but, let me warn you, you might not appreciate the finale of the anime much.

Thanks I'll check that out for sure.
