00:00Did you know that the original sumo was a fight to the death?
00:03In the Baki franchise, the legend of Sukune versus Kehaia shows us exactly that.
00:07Long ago, in the ancient province of Yamato, there lived a ruthless warrior named Kehaia.
00:13The guy was a beast with devastating kicks; he could break bulls' horns and turn blocks of stone into dust.
00:21Bored with his unparalleled strength, Kehaia demanded that his Lord find a worthy opponent, someone who wouldn't break.
00:28He wanted a good fight so badly that he bet all his land on it.
00:33It was then that the only human capable of standing up to him emerged: Sukune I.
00:38This legendary match gave rise to ancient sumo wrestling.
00:41Forget today's rules, there was no ring or referee, punches, choking, eye gouging, absolutely anything went.
00:49It was win or die.
00:50Despite Kehaia's lethal kicks, Sukune dominated the fight.
00:54With monstrous strength, he obliterated his rival's ribs and finished the fight by stomping on his pelvis.
01:01Thus was born the legend of Sukune, the precursor of sumo, capable of transforming coal into diamonds with the pressure of...
01:08your hands.
