The “world’s fastest otaku” has been attracting much praise (and the usual revulsion) for his unique podium celebrations, bringing a new meaning to the term “showboating” by being joined by his favourite battleship girl…
Takaoki Hashimoto’s 50.72 second performance in the 400m finals secured his spot, although it seems was so confident of victory he brought his 2D companion along to celebrate:
His distressing individuality. lack of humdrum modesty and general shamelessness about his otaku proclivities have all earned him plenty of detractors online – although he does at least have the satisfaction of perhaps being the first non-JK athlete to achieve any widespread notice online in the first place.

I want that wall scroll, but he's too fast to catch. :(
I think he would rather be motorboating than showboating
yall need to shut the fuck up and praise the lord jesus
Lord Chin Chin is displeased.
no, you must praise goddess chinnamasta
what are you some religious fag
lol westboro and wth is with this thumbs down, you dont get the joke do you?
west boro actually. lemme picket your funeral.
westboro? da fuck are you even here for?? wow...
The moment he brings out a Shimakaze wall scroll, we know he has become too fast to catch.
Both my father's cabin cruiser and my car is faster than the shimikaze ever was.
Put them both in water and tell me that again.
Wow ... A comment on Sankaku that actually made me smirk.
Kudos to you anon, for not posting shit drivel like the rest of your anon and username colleagues.
stop being so stuck up, there lulz galore up in here
theres different kind of lulz. Ones for good posts (few and many) and others because the poster is such an insignificant waste of space and air.
exactly, otherwise I see no other real reason to even be on sancom really...
+0.6 is a good head start before the downvoter arrives... good luck to reaching +1.0 before then.
his speed comes from years of running from school bullies
No I'm pretty sure he just comes from a line of ninjas. Scrolls help ninjas do amazing things like run super fast, anime told me so.
A Proud Otaku. Breaking records and breaking tropes.
That's actually an awesome idea. Otaku should just own all the people who would look down on them.
Personally, I've always kept cleanliness, proper grooming, and health/fitness a high priority for myself despite being pretty much otherwise a total nerd of all things Japanese. If you ever had a conversation with me at a convention or at work I doubt you'd ever be able to tell I'm practically a hermit.
This. Being blatant comes AFTER you can back it up. There's few situations where it makes sense to announce you're a narutard. On top of that, you need to be careful (classy) about it.
Then, just to not drag down the curve, it's preferred that you're wealthy, fit, clever, attractive, and/or somewhat prestigious (as in, just got named champion on a podium).
Failing those, at least do it when you have some basic fucking hygiene and grooming in place.
Right on! more power to our Otaku peoples.
just wait for the press when he's caught red handed in indecent acts with his dakimakura.
you mean his wall scroll? or are you just assuming he'd naturally have a dakimakura too? lol
and a nendo, and a figma...
if he's really an otaku, he must have daki too.
Wouldn't it be white handed in this case?
red handed because its too furious
Some Japanese guy was in the US Open finals this week. He should have played while cosplaying to reach this person's level.
> implying all Japanese are totally into cosplay and animu
fucking racist
Who are you to say he was "implying" anything.
Do even fun displays of exuberance imply
racism in Japan??? Really?? "Xenophobic" comes
to mind.....
^ Impossibru!
Rucking Facist
they are not?
somebody is getting laid tonight
By what? His hand?
I'm pretty sure he's strictly "2d only".
When i saw the title i thought it was a competition for the fastest fapping
that guy is no homo
What if he's bi? Then what? Big fucking deal...
Then obviously he isn't homo.
Journalist: who is your secret mister?
RoadRunnerfreack: Is simple, faping all the day to my daki ...
well at least he's proven that unlike most hardcore otaku he does actually does go outside,lol
Guy is a hero
Not really. A person who was injured in a car wreck and partially paralyzed and then works their ass off and gets better is a hero. A firemen who risks life and limb saving people from a burning building is a hero.
You've never seen athletes ever referred to as heroes? They're people who inspire others to do better and often the more "heroic" ones are athletes who have overcome some kind of adversity or might be considered underdogs for some reason
Anyone can be a hero in anyone's mind, it doesn't need to be something huge that the general public sees as the norm, it can be anything as long as there is acknowledgement even if by only one person.
I'm disappointed the majorities of Americans still view anime as cartoon meant for kids, that's why I never associate these two together, anime is animation while cartoon was always known as just cartoon. Disney shamelessly used the word "animation" very much later after anime became well-known globally.
I admired his guy for openly displaying his treasure, why should we be ashamed of our hobbies? Liking anime, manga and games doesn't make us less of a human being.
He is not an hero
A man to be admired.
