Tiger Mask is saying he’s proud to be disqualified, in a world in which pro wrestling is canonically real. Wouldn’t that mean he gets paid less?

An old expression I just learned: 「お臍がお茶を沸かす。」 “My belly button boils tea.” The speaker is laughing so hard that their navel is producing enough friction to heat tea to boiling. The tone is bullying/hectoring so like most manga/anime Japanese, never seriously say it. But it’s weirdly niche bullying.

Naoto Daté is pulling a Clark Kent and pretending to suck at pounding mochi so nobody will suspect he’s Tiger Mask.

Holy shit, this comic actually straight-up wrote in Baron Scicluna, Jack Brisco, and Antonio Inoki as characters in its world. Names, likenesses, and all. There’s no way the authors got permission for this.

本番アメリカの大悪役殺人男爵と悪名たかいバロン=シクルナ、正義のわざ師ジャック=ブリスコ対 日本がわのタイガー・マスクと猪木がくむタッグマッチの一戦だ。

Giant Baba too. And a helper who apparently bought a shirt that just says “wrestling?”

Giant Baba in the original Tiger Mask manga.
