KENGAN ASHURA (ケンガンアシュラ)

The eighth game is about to begin!

SAYAKA KATAHARA THE DAUGHTER OF METSUDO KATAHARA

Please welcome our first fighter!

He is the roughest of wrestlers,

whose older brothers are yokozuna, grand champion sumo wrestlers.

He's not just satisfied with fighting inside the sumo ring.

He’ll take on any assault or threat if his clients ask him to.

His bad attitude is at its peak.

The troublemaker takes to the field carrying the honor of the sumo world.

Standing at 194 cm. and weighing 159 kg.,

his kengan match record is seven wins and no losses.

His assets total 22 billion 116 million 100 thousand yen.

Representing MAGATANIEN, also known as the Brawler of the Sumo Ring,

Takeru Kiohzan!

TAKERU KIOHZAN REPRESENTATIVE FIGHTER OF MAGATANIEN

How irreverent!

That's the special loincloth only yokozuna are allowed to wear.

JUZO MAGATANI, PRESIDENT SAKURA AKIYAMA, SECRETARY

GEN SHIKANO CHAIRMAN OF GANDAI

Yoisho!

Yoisho!

HARUO KOHNO, REP. FIGHTER OF NENTENDO

Oops. Sorry, bro.

Are you hurt?

He pulled me up?

No way! I weigh more than 300 kg.!

Hey, are you leaving so soon?

The next game is going to be fun.

Watch it before you leave.

Who the heck are you?

You don't need to know my name.

I'm just a pro-wrestler passing by.

It's pro-wrestling versus sumo wrestling.

They're often compared to each other,

but it's time to decide who is stronger!

Here the next man comes!

This angel of destruction came from hell to represent the pro-wrestlers.

He's entering second with confidence, as if to say his opponent is inferior.

Standing at 196 cm. and weighing 141 kg.,

his kengan match record is 57 wins and one loss.

His total assets are 555 billion 111 million 250 thousand yen.

Representing GANDAI,

also known as Hell's Angel, Jun Sekibayashi!

JUN SEKIBAYASHI FIGHTER OF GANDAI

-What?! -This bastard!

OHMA TOKITA, REP. FIGHTER

KAEDE AKIYAMA K. YAMASHITA

His hairstyle is...

Sekibayashi's hairstyle is the official one for sumo wrestlers!

No, wait, it's back to front, breaking the rule among sumo wrestlers.

It means pro-wrestling presents a huge challenge to sumo wrestling.

Piece of crap!

I'll blow you away.

"CONVICTIONS"

You're mad, aren't you?

If you lose your temper so easily, you lack a sense of professionalism.

Don't forget that we're entertainers before fighters.

Okay.

You two, take your positions.

-You piss me off. -Such power!

Too easy.

Hey, Sekibayashi!

Don't get carried away, trickster.

Whoa, it's unbelievable!

Before the referee's command,

-Kiohzan started attacking! -Seriously?

Ohma had a very hard time beating Sekibayashi.

Though it was a surprise attack, he was taken down with only one attack?

Can you go on, Sekibayashi? Come on!

Pathetic.

You bastard!

This is going to hurt a bit, brat.

Remember, kid.

Pro-wrestlers are good actors.

Now that's pro-wrestling! Awesome!

Kiohzan?

You've got the wrong idea.

Remember, old man.

Sumo wrestlers are sturdier than pro-wrestlers.

That's the spirit.

You could be a good pro-wrestler.

Known as Hell's Angel, Jun Sekibayashi is...

the top fighter of the Super Japan Pro-Wrestling.

He's a big name both in the public and the underground field.

Receiving all the attacks from enemies with pride,

he always smashes them into smithereens like a heavy tank.

But now, he is being overwhelmed.

Brat!

Don't get cocky!

He doesn't budge.

Jerks like you build up their body just to perform an entertainment show.

We're not the same.

As a sumo wrestler, I've built up my body purely to be strong.

A person like me can't get beaten by a trickster like you.

Oh, it seems Sekibayashi has lost consciousness!

He jumped!

Pro-wrestling isn't just about punching and kicking.

Pro-wrestling is about

fighting in three-dimensional space!

This kind of fight must be new to you

as sumo is all about fighting on a flat field.

I'm not hurt at all, you trash.

That's what I expected to hear.

In a face-off between sumo wrestling and pro-wrestling, neither is stepping back.

Hit after hit!

JERRY TYSON, REP. FIGHTER OF 22ND CENTURY FAX

Sekibayashi is hitting backhand chops nonstop!

So impressive!

Sekibayashi is fighting back!

Go Sekibayashi!

Sekibayashi!

It's amazing.

Don't get carried away, old fart!

Neither of them is backing off at all!

COSMO IMAI, REP. FIGHTER

AKIRA NISHIHONJI, PRESIDENT

Watch and learn, Cos.

Sekibayashi has something you don't have as a fighter.

Sense it from this game.

If you can find it, you'll be stronger.

This big shit!

Why doesn't he guard himself?

Kiohzan keeps carrying out his violent thrusts!

Whoa!

He hung on to the end! This is Jun Sekibayashi!

He has absorbed all the storm-like attacks from Kiohzan without guarding!

Hey, kid.

Has your stamina run out?

Don't underestimate me, you bastard!

Why don't you block my attacks? Are you trying to insult me?

Oh, no! Don't take it the wrong way.

This is my style of pro-wrestling.

Shit!

I can't push him back.

Come on. Don't you understand?

It's my turn, right?

I'll show you the quintessence of a pro-wrestler.

Now I'm totally pissed off.

I didn't think I'd have to show my style of sumo

to a trickster like you, jerk.

What a tragedy for Sekibayashi!

He was only one step away from the victory before being regrettably knocked down!

What happened between them?

What a tragedy for Sekibayashi!

He was only one step away from the victory before being regrettably knocked down!

We never thought Kiohzan would use a technique like that.

Is that okay?

The sumo wrestler used a kick!

Since I was a kid, I've been wondering,

why is sumo so incomplete?

With a well-trained body,

why are we only permitted to use some limited techniques?

However, at some point, I finally realized...

that I can just use a kick.

Damn it! I lost consciousness for a moment.

Don't fall asleep yet.

I'm going to teach you what true sumo wrestling is.

Wow, a stream of blows!

The sumo wrestler punches the pro-wrestler over and over.

ADAM DUDLEY, REP. FIGHTER OF BOSS BURGER

Can you really say it's sumo? That's more like MMA!

Yes, it's sumo.

Excuse me?

Sumo was originally a mixed martial art in ancient times like pankration.

Once in an ancient time, there was a match.

It was the first kakuryoku match written in Japan's oldest history book.

What decided the game was kicking.

SUMO WRESTLING

Before the present sumo was created, it was called kakuryoku.

KAKURYOKU

It was a martial art with no limits of blowing, throwing, grappling, or choking.

Undoubtedly, that's sumo, or rather...

I'd call it ancient sumo.

You're quite a guy, old man.

How long can you continue without guarding?

You must want to die, huh?

I don't care, though.

If you want to die, I'd be happy to kill you!

What are you doing?
