Ah yes, Segata Sanshiro is one of the most epic men ever in the history of epicness. I cry many man tears everytime I see that last commercial of Segata Sanshiro.

Fun fact: Segata Sanshiros name derives from the name "Segata Shiro" which roughly means "You must play Sega Saturn".

The character himself is based around Sugata Sanshiro, a judo master in one of Akira Kurosawas movie in the self titled Sugata Sanshiro movie.

Yup. Epic.

I love some of the games on the Sega Saturn like Dragon Force adn Die Hard Arcade. This was the beginning of the end for Sega. They lost a lot of 3rd party support to Sony (like Nintendo) and release 1st party titles too infrequently (like Nintendo) and didn't have Pokemon (unlike Nintendo).

Conclusion: Pikachu wins

So I watched that entire thing through.
Though that was indeed epic, there was one scene that blew my mind and still completely confuses me.
He flips a guy onto the floor, said guy suddenly lags out and appears 10 feet in the air, lands on his face, then explodes...
What... the... fuck?
