ASHITA NO SKETCH !!!!!!!!!!!

[bunnyinatree]

The epic highs of lows of a 1970s boxing anime 😔

[image ID: two screenshots from the anime “Ashita no Joe.” In the first image, Joe leans forward eagerly and, smiling, says, “I want to KO Rikiishi so bad, I can’t contain myself—“ In the second image, Joe has fallen onto his hands and knees beside a snowy park bench, sobbing, “Rikiishi…” End image ID.]

A funeral service was held for Tooru Rikiishi in an auditorium at Shonen Magazine publisher Kodansha’s Tokyo headquarters on March 24, 1970, roughly a month after the character passed away in the magazine. Some 700 fans managed to attend, somehow, though it was held on a Tuesday afternoon, when most of them presumably had school or work. Staged by avant-garde theater troupe Tenjo Sajiki (“Ceiling Gallery”), the service was complete with a picture of the deceased overlooking a boxing ring brought in from Korakuen Hall, and included the standard reading of sutras and lighting of incense, as well as a somewhat less conventional KO count to ten on a gong. The eulogy was read by troupe leader Shuji Terayama, who described Rikiishi as “an illusionary force of the Establishment dreamed up by slum guerilla Joe Yabuki”.

In other words rumiko wanted and believes/thinks of kikyo as a beloved character so beloved and worthy to be equated to Rikiishi, who at his death in the manga had a funeral service held for the great and greatly written fictional character in real life.

Rumiko Takahashi: “Kikyou is one of my favourite characters from “InuYasha”. It’s a bit strange, but for me she was like Rikiishi from “Ashita no Joe”!”

Huge post comparing Rikiishi Toru from Ashita no Joe to the boxing antagonist “Shirotsubaki Jō” / “Dynamite Fuji” from Yuuyake Banchō vol 13. 

"Jo” was made as a tribute to Rikiishi by the same author as “Ashita no Joe” who also wrote for Yuuyake Bancho.

Warm up drawing from a couple of weeks ago of Ashita no Joe’s Tooru Rikiishi. Thought I’d share it.
