Japan Hero Awards: Who Is the Strongest Hero?
TV short showcasing a tournament to decide the mightiest “great person” throughout all of Japan’s history. The competitors include Benkei, Himiko, Prince Shotoku, and Amakusa Shiro. While fans and scholars of Japanese history and literature will probably get the biggest kick out of this, DBZ fans also have a lot to enjoy as none other than Son Goku provides a running commentary on the (over-the-top) fights with Masaharu Miyake, an announcer for Fuji TV.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The short constructs an absurd yet engaging crossover, relying on recognizable historical and pop-cultural archetypes. Using a sports-show format, it explores Japan's pantheon of 'great persons' through the lens of eccentric, over-the-top action.
Those who tire of dry historical accounts will find a joyful spectacle where reverence is traded for playful parody. What lingers after the final blow is the sheer audacity of this genre-blending experiment. — MovieFinder Editorial
