The Furio above is a real person. Others in that group were also based on real people.MetalGravy wrote:I think that they're talking about the guys (the captains from the 3 strongest clubs) that Mitsuomi took on in the election tourny during the flashback arc. One looked kind of like Bruce Lee, and I guess the others were meant to look like real martial artists also.
Before seeing this real Furio guy, I honestly thought it was Royce Gracie and that they just didn't want to make it too obvious. I thought "Suko" was a jab at him (like he sucks although he doesn't really suck) and "Furio" as in furious because the Gracies have the stereotype of always getting upset with the refs and judges decisions and whining and stuff.
Oh Great! definitely follows the MMA scene because in the manga later on he has a reference to Kevin Randleman, who's definitely a lesser name than the Gracies and Kazushi Sakuraba.
Also, for Sak's discipline in the anime, they said it was Turkish or Mongolian Wrestling or something like that which was obviously not true to life either.

Afghan Wrestling Club actually. I know because I checked it the other day when I put it on the character list.Agent_Wax wrote:And it is mentioned in the manga that the Sakuraba clone was the president of the Mongolian Wrestling Club, Mongolian Wrestling being a popular grappling style in, well, Mongolia...
