It’s a little bit gross but kind of inspiring - a scrawny Japanese guy who, by dint of superior training and discipline, is practically an order of magnitude better than his closest rivals in stuffing inhuman quantities of food down his gullet. This superior performance is made sweeter somehow to me by the fact that many of his competitors are big honking dudes who tower over him, but he eats rings around them with apparent ease. The ease is only apparent though - he trains hard…

It’s another ridiculous underdog story that makes me proud to be part Japanese. :) I love how weird and intense Japanese can be, and often are.
