Time once again for the annual summer tradition!
That time once every year where we drop the
TV PG rating and go full on TV MA with attitude!!
This is Hulk Hogan’s Manga Mania 3!!
If you didn’t know, let me fill you in.
In 1984, Japanese Manga publisher Kodansha
Media released a weekly short strip in Bon
Bon magazine featuring an off the wall parody
of Hulk Hogan, as well as other wrestlers
popular at the time from Japan and around
the world.
Titled “Yappa!
A-Hogan-Yo” meaning very loosely, “hey
its that jagoff, Hogan!”
The series ran for about 4 years, coinciding
with The Hunkers first WWF Championship reign.
As the series ran, 6 books were compiled of
past strips.
This episode is going to focus on book #2
released in 1985.
These comics are infamous, thanks in part
to me, for their extreme raunchiness, excessive
violence and gore, profane language and hilarious
art styles.
Don’t forget that in the series, Hogan’s
Fu Man Chu is sentient as is his wang!
The wrestlers all kind of get along Rock n
Wrestling style, even if they disembowel each
other on occasion.
The tone of the Yappa A-Hogan Yo universe
starts to be cemented here, as the the artist
Minoru Shibayama has a feel for the characters
now and if he ever had any limits placed on
what he cold or cold not draw, those are clearly
off now.
The book is a much stronger effort than the
first one and while that wasn’t bad, it
just had the evolution all new works have.
I cold go on and on but I have pretty much
covered everything before in volumes 1 and
2, so go check to for more information.
Now, let’s get right to the action!!
Our story begins at one of Hogan’s favorite
establishments.
The adult movie theatre!
Hogan invites Stan Hansen and Bruiser Brody
come along.
They seem a bit shy to go along, even though
Hogan is seen there every afternoon!
Hogan tells Stan and Brody that if they aren’t
man enough to go in, he’ll just go himself!
Then a number of fans spot Hogan Stan and
Brody from across the street and yell out
their names in excitement!!
The three happily greet the fans and sign
posters.
Brody says it’s better they didn’t enter
the theatre.
The girls ask them where they are going.
Hogan says he is going….
To the library!!
While Brody and Stan are off to the adult
theatre.
The girls are shocked and horrified at the
thought.
Well it was 1985, they’re not like girls
of today!
Brody and Stan try to explain that was Hogan’s
idea while Hogan says they are trying to draw
HIM!
Into he theatre.
I mean why would Hogan, such an upstanding
person of moral character subject himself
to something so depraved.
He then invites the three girls to lunch with
him, telling Brody and Stan to enjoy the movie.
Before they leave, one girl says she might
like seeing what the movies in the adult theatre
are all about.
The other 2 also quickly change their minds.
She asks Stan and Brody if they can join them!
Hogan is beside himself!
Realizing this truly once in a lifetime opportunity
is slipping away, Hogan says, well if you
insist, let’s go!
But just the three girls and me!!
Brody and Stan get so ticked off at Hogan
the hold him down and throw knives at him.
And uh… that’s it thats the end of the
story.
Hogan is in the ring with “Furuitachi Ichiro”
They bounce off the ropes and Hogan lands
a closed fist, via his Fu Man Chu, and then
blasts off a fresh on right in his face!
It stinks so bad he can’t even get the words
to disappear!
Hogan says if you liked that, why not take
a whiff of the tights!
Ichiro thinks they are a little too big for
Hogan.
More like Andre, who just happens to be hanging
around, drinking a beer.
So half in the bag is Andre, he sits right
down on Ichiro!
Hogan, for whatever reason puts on an elephant
mask, picks Andre up by the trunk somehow
and throws him aside.
Then he puts on a horse’s head.
There’s some untranslatable humor here but
basically the joke is that Ichiro confuses
the horse for Giant Baba.
Hogan says Baba’s face looks more like a
fresh doo doo, and then they compare his face
to a dragon and Frankenstein.
I know none of this makes any sense but it
all ends up with Baba saying he’s actually
Seiko Matsuda, famous pop idol.
Why doesn’t it make any sense?
Well its all seen through the eyes of Andre,
who by now has down his own weight in whiskey.
Or at least that’s the story I’m going
with.
The sun rises over the mountains and as the
light reaches Hogan’s window, the house
is already buzzing.
Coffee is being made with a full breakfast
to go along with it.
But its not Hogan, he’s still asleep!
It’s his Fu Man Chu!
He, or IT, should say, It wakes up Hogan and
helps him eat and then clean up.
The Fu Man Chu then gets on a pair of boots
and carries Hogan to work!
Hogan say to go faster and the Fu Man Chu
says its impossible because Hogan weighs 140
kilograms!
310 pounds, rounded up, for all you Americans.
This angers Hogan and he stars punching and
strangling his own Fu Man Chu!!!
For the Fu Man Chu, this is the last straw
and it leaves!!!
Walks away!!!
Hogan breaks down and cries over having to
be alone and the Road Warriors tell him it’s
his own fault for being so abusive.
Then Hogan is alerted that famous actress
Yukiko Kudo wants to meet him!
Hogan’s eyes light up and can’t wait to
meet her.
As it turns out she’s only looking for Hogan
so he can send the Fu Man Chu back to its
original owner!
Hogan and Bruiser Brody enjoy a soak in the
hot tub.
Hogan decides to play a prank on Brody and
uh, um.. squirt him in the face! Brody chases
Hogan out!
Hogan steals Brody’s clothes and puts them
on.
In the locker room Hogan decides to get a
beer, as nothing’s better after a hot bath,
says Hogan.
Then Hogan starts realize his skin feels itchy.
It turns out he caught athlete’s foot from
wearing Brody’s gear! Brody comes out says
to Hogan, oh yea, well I put on your trunks
and it gave me crabs!
Hogan takes on the Road Warriors in a 2 on
1 handicap match.
Hogan picks each Raid Warrior up with one
hand and begs them to feel the power of Hulkamania
BROTHER!!!!!
Then, there’s a run-in where Hogan is attacked
from behind with a spiked club!
It Dump Matsumoto!
Called Truck here, to avoid copyright infringement.
Get it Dump truck?
Ah well anyway.
She drives nails through Hogan’s skull and
slices him up in the ring!
Oh boy talk about heel heat!
Dump turns to the crow and says she’s the
true ICHIBAN!
The she gleefully splits the scene!
Hogan is back and out for revenge!
Somehow still alive despite having an axe
and knife stuck in his body!
A chase ensues, out the arena and across town,
down a mountainside!
Dump just can’t shake Hogan!
Eventually, Dump tries a standard cartoon
chase tactic and yells, hey look over there!
While Hogan is distracted she wipes off her
makeup and hides in a pig pen!!
Hogan looks around and says huh where’s
dump?
All I see is a bunch of pigs!
Yeah, I’ll probably get in trouble for that
one.
I don’t care!
Oh man!
What a riot!
Well, take a time to to hear some words from
our local station.
80s commercials from Japan with Pro Wrestlers
in them are just the greatest aren’t they?
KONOBANGMI WA GORANNO SPONSAA NO TEIKYO DE
OKRISHIMASU!!!
Hogan and Riki are taking an evening stroll.
Riki points out how nice the full moon looks
tonight.
Hey Hogan!
Why you looking so weird!
Well it is a full moon!!
Hogan is a werewolf!!
Riki is shocked!
All this time you’re a werewolf and didn’t
tell me?!
Says Riki.
Why are you so happy about this Hogan?
Well, Hogan says, I can steal things and no
one will stop me!!
See this underwear on laundry line?
The werewolf did it!
Not Hogan!!
See?!?
Well don’t forget it is a full moon on a
nice summer night.
So there are many people out.
Hogan and Riki come across some girls walking
to a festival.
He kisses them and laughs excitedly, saying
of course, the werewolf did it!
Now its off to the public bath and get into
he women’s section!
Riki then notices that now, some clouds are
covering up the Moon.
With the moon half visible Hogan’s head
turns back to normal, but not the rest of
him.
Then hey turn a corner and Hogan sees the
Moon back to in full, which will return him
to full werewolf.
But oh no, it was just some bald dude’s
head!
Hogan runs to the women’s bath and Riki
tries to stop him!!
But it’s too late!
Hogan gets what’s coming to him
In the locker room, the Road Warriors, Hawk
and Animal are eating some burgers they just
happened to find laying around.
But it turns out, they aren’t so fresh anymore.
Actually they’re 10 days old!!
They decide to toss them but then get a better
idea, give them to Hogan!
The call Hogan over from the showers and tell
him its chow time!
He takes a burger and loves it, actually there’s
no problem at all!!!
Hawk and Animal are shocked and confused.
Maybe the burgers are ok after all!
Hawk and Animal try one and they have near
instantly run to the bathroom and weigh anchor!
It empties their insides so much, trip after
trip they end up emaciated and in the hospital!
The doctor says its food poisoning and Hogan
wonders what they ate to make them so sick?
After a successful match Bruiser Brody heads
off to the locker room, to brush his teeth.
The toothpaste was laced with hot sauce!
A little shrimpy guy with only his eyes showing
through his mask takes credit for the rib!
Andre is in the hot tub when he’s called
out.
Andre puts his pants back on, except!!
A Piece of konyakku jelly was inside.
The little masked guy is at it again!
Andre and Brody talk about what’s been going
on, and they think it’s Hogan but the prankster
is so short, how could it be him?
Meanwhile Hawk is on the toilet and wipes
but oh no!!
The toilet paper is swapped out with sandpaper!!!
The little guy strikes again!
He unmasks himself to reveal his true identity!!!!
He jumps through the ceiling and the three
chase after.
The find Hogan there who swears it wasn’t
him.
Hogan is able to convince Andre Hawk and Brody
it was some kind of alien or something and
they actually fall for it!!
The door to the locker room kicks open.
With a mysterious man asking where’s Hogan??
The wrestlers on hand, Anima Hamaguchi, Killer
Kahn and Riki ask who this man is.
He says he’s a master of martial arts!
Its Kenshiro from Fist of The North Star!!!!
Riki says he’s kind of small for a wrestler.
Kenshiro says he may be small but he’s got
heart!!
And he knows how to beat someone with just
one finger!
He then demonstrates as with one touch, deforms
their faces.
Kenshiro calls for Hogan.
His Fu Man Chu picks up Kenshiro and Hogan
wonders what he is.
Kenshiro says he will show Hogan who’s boss
and with one finger!
He pokes Hogan on the forehead and well, yea
he transforms his face that’s for sure!
Kenshiro admits defeat while Hogan is captivated
by his new face!
Dump Matsumoto shows up at the locker room
of the Giant Machine, asking for help.
Machine says what is and Dump says help get
her meat to eat after her match!
And if he can help, she will repay him back
in a certain way, if you know what I mean.
The bell sounds and the match is on a death
match between Hogan and Dump!
I guess he’s out for revenge from when she
put an axe in his head.
The mach stars and Giant Machine interferes!
He holds hogan down and says How’s this
for a piece of meat?
Dump gets a chainsaw and starts swinging!
Hogan ducks his head into his body like a
turtle, saving his life!
Machine holds Hogan by the feet and Dump saws
him right in half!!!
The announcer is going crazy!
This is unprecedented for wrestling though!!
Hogan however doesn’t die!
He is IMMORTAL after all!!!
Instead his lower extremities REGENERATE!!!!
Hogan hulks up and shoves his fist straight
through Dump!!
The Giant Machine confronts Hogan again only
to reveal that its really Andre the Giant
and together they roast and cook Dump on a
rotating spit in the ring!!
With Hogan and Andre saying the love PIG roast!!!!
