2022/07/08

Things get pretty ridiculous in this episode as we examine the Sumo Arc of an anime/manga series that is currently one of the most popular and most outrageous! Bulging from the pages of a manga that has been running for other 30 years, Baki keeps the shonen genre fresh with its over-the-top story and art, and throwing a bunch of rikishi into the mix only built up that bulge bigger and badder! We also discuss our fantasy sumo picks for the Nagoya basho in the most delightfully horrifying way we could

Without much other exposure to sumo in the U.S., it's no wonder that so many amateur sumo wrestlers got their first taste for the excitement of this ancient combat sport through their love of anime. In this episode we discuss Hinomaru Sumo, its plot and characters (this is your only spoiler warning), some interesting trivia on how it relates to ancient Japanese weaponry, and how its dramatically shonen portrayal hooked a new wave of sumo enthusiasts.
