Story Arcs

This is a page for the story arcs of Jōji Morikawa's Hajime no Ippo.

The majority of the story arcs names are taken from the individual match posters of the main cast, Best Bouts Re-Releases, the author's X posts, and Weekly Shōnen Magazine issues.

The story parts below were made by the wiki to separate the long story and arcs in a more organised way, they are not official.
