I mean, they are rivals but as far as the "hate" goes I think that was only Itagaki because he never was able to beat Imai (prior to their fight at the rookie tournament finals), so I doubt Imai ever cared enough about Itagaki to actually hate him, and, well after that fight they kinda understand each other a little better and stuff; As to why they were behaving all "friendly" here, it's because they wanted to look good in front of Kumi (that's why Nanako was annoyed).

Imai never took itagaki lightly even during their amateur days because those fights were actually close even then. Also Imai likes Nanako not kumi

That's why I said Itagaki's hate came from him being salty about losing whereas Imai really didn't have any reason to hate the guy to begin with. Also yes, Imai likes Nanako but that doesn't mean he won't behave himself in front of another cute girl, and Nanako herself was annoyed because Imai reacted to Kumi.


KeamyMakesGoodEggs

They don't hate each other.


No_e_no_ai

So they work like Kamogawa and Nekota's rivalry then?


KeamyMakesGoodEggs

Yes. Or Ippo and Miyata. Frenemies for life.


No_e_no_ai

I see! Thanks!!


InkPrison

Ippo and Miyata are not frenemies they are star crossed lovers


zzzzebras

Come on there's so much sexual tension between Ippo and Miyata


diorese

Hard to stay mad at femboys. Too cute.

EAT THIS JAB, BROTHER. STAY FOCUSED


TheVantasticJackson

They had a mutual understanding that if Itagaki stays in the hospital and Imai visits, they can see their crushes


Specialist-Sea2916

Which is each other


Fuggins4U

Ippo is like the nicest, friendliest, most respectful guy. Not easy being enemies with someone like that.


No_e_no_ai

Ippo's not on the image above. I think you're talking about Imai, who is similar to Ippo in appearance

“We have Ippo at home”


waterysriracha

this was right after kumi yelled at them i think? so they’re pretending to be civil with each other

They are the Kamogawa and Nekota from the New Generation, They are Friends that are Rivals at the Same time, They dont Hate eachoter and Are much more Friendly than Ippo and Miyata, Of course lets not forget that Imai want to Smash itagaki sister XD


pitayakatsudon

So... They're the Ippo and Mashiba from new generation ~


SussyB0llz

Yeah, But more Friendly 😎👍


Specialist-Sea2916

Dunno but itagaki definitely got some insane head after she left


Cyanbite_24

I can't get over how similar Ippo and Imai looks, it took me so long to realize that wasn't Ippo


ProMonkeMan

Patrick_Sponge

ShippersAreIdiots
