yeah i can see why everyone loves Rikiishi

They don't know how to write rivals like that anymore. They just don't.

私達が子供の頃に与えられたモノ 今の子供達に与えられたモノ

BOSS のCM Isao Bito sings the theme song. Sanya is known as the real-life setting for Ashita no Joe.

60年代「あしたのジョー」は大人気｡特に力石徹は大人気で、彼が亡くなったことを悼んだファンは葬式を営んだ。その場所は、ビートルズなど有名なミュージシャンがコンサートを行う、あの武道館である。

Best rival

To this day, the best character in the series. Part of me kinda wishes the manga was just about Rikiishi instead ngl

Early series you had that stupid main character nobody like because he is huge asshole, and see Rikishi beat this shit Joe was moment series becoming real thing. Remember see Woolie and Eyeapatch Wolf, with John so hype see Rikishi beat Joe to ground

The theme song for Toru Rikiishi, composed by jazz pianist Masao Yagi, is fantastic!

Everytime his theme starts playing whenever Joe becomes an asshole, i sigh with a huge relief

Does Joe ever win

しかしこのテーマ曲…かっこいいなぁ🥊
