Talk:Ashita no Joe

Second Anime Coverage

I have seen this page and many others state that Ashita no Joe 2 covers the six volumes that Ashita no Joe did not. This simply is not true. According to IMDB, The first episode synopsis brings up the fight with Rikiishi and Joe's departure. Carlos comes in some episodes later. The first series ends on Joe's match against Carlos. Some overlap exists, and I corrected it as such. I thought I corrected it before but it may have gotten reverted. I do not know how to provide citation regarding this as my links do not directly prove which volumes are which, but seeing as the false statement didn't use or need citation, it wouldn't be unfair to simply make my case without it either. 2600:1702:18F0:5180:C4C3:E4BC:8D5:F01C (talk) 19:17, 4 November 2021 (UTC)

Imdb is pretty much not reliable source since it is edited by other users. Still, I would suggest changing the the whole of "covers six volumes" since that's pretty much original research. For example, it would be "the second series focuses on Rikishi's death onwards" if I recall.Tintor2 (talk) 20:04, 4 November 2021 (UTC)

I already changed it, but I didn't add any sources. Other sources I could find also contain links to the episodes themselves, so I'm certain I can't use those. That said, the previous sentence is structured similarly. Would that also count as original research? Lastly, I'd like to avoid spoiling if people wish to skip over the plot section, so I'd rather say something like the first ends after Carlos's arc, while the second starts from the conclusion of Rikiishi's arc. 2600:1702:18F0:5180:FD86:CB73:4D99:4C3F (talk) 21:00, 5 November 2021 (UTC)
