RE: Wild Plot Wednesdays #20: A New Sport Genre

in The Anime Realm12 hours ago

I don't know any Polish game, so I'll use the gumball game I played as a child. It involves jumping over it, going under it, or something else, depending on the rules.

The heroes of Hajime no Ippo learned from Kamogawa's coach that the United Nations banned boxing due to its brutality. The coach said that because of this they would start playing rubber. If boxers exercise with it, why not turn it into a full-fledged sport? The characters laugh at it at first, but it turns out that the game is not that easy and requires muscles, weight balancing and body control. Kimura and Aoki, like a comedy relief, come out immediately, and the giant Takamura copes without any problems, swinging gracefully like a ballerina. The boxer notices that his friend with a much lower weight (Ippo) is doing just as well. They decide to start competing to see who can flawlessly perform the most absurd acrobatics. Ultimately they reach a draw. After a few months of training, they are so proficient at it that they go to the world championships.
