SEGA's Weirdest Mascot: The Legend of Segata Sanshiro

[@Jackson-hp7rt]

Segata Sanshiro: Takeshi Hongo's side-job. No wonder this dude was OP.

[@Mentski]

At the end of the final ad, you see a shooting star fall to earth in the background. Fans speculated for years that it was Sanshiro re-entering the atmosphere.

[@NolanEgbert]

I wish ad campaigns were half as creative as they were in the 90’s. Thanks for a great dive into this SEGA oddity!

[@linksbro1]

The level of production that went into this and Jonii's vids are insane, just discovered you and already can say you're criminally under watched.

[@possumyawn]

That final commercial was WILD, more consoles need elaborate sendoffs like that

[@AznOmega]

Even better, he appears in Project X Zone 2 as a support, and in Archie Sonic comics where he fought Sonic, and the setting was thousands of years in the future.

[@KennyFrierson]

The most powerful being who I do wish was my dad

[@koolkid6369]

left my grandpas funeral for your return, this better be good

[@Chancherpancher]

Segata Sanshiro is Kamen Rider Ichigo. Also, the Sega Saturn is successful in Japan but failed in America.

[@Rye_Smile]

HEY BABE WAKE UP! DEVNUL IS BACK!

[@cian-neural2594]

Crazy how Hiroshi Fujioka's known for playing as Takeshi Hongo from Kamen Rider and Segata Sanshiro.

[@chanhjohnnguyen1867]

He was actually the mascot that got me into Saturn games about 3 years ago

[@basara5496]

I was introduced to him from commercials airing during Sonic Soldier Borgman, which my anime club in Cincinnati was watching in Japanese with synopses at the time. There were so many Sega product commercials during Borgman that by the end of the series we were making "SEGA APPROVED!!!!" jokes.

[@e-convoy1783]

YES! I love to see more of these documentaries!

[@0H00C-Ultra]

Hello fellow Toku fan

[@e-convoy1783]

@@0H00C-Ultra Ahh... I see you're a man of quality culture as well... Loving Ultraman!

[@davidgill7412]

Segata, I'm currently playing Saturn now. You're message and legend will never die.

[@saberx2321]

Welcome back! Thanks for posting another banger. :D

[@bobandmrmecaleb5873]

Segata Sanshiro! Segata Sanshiro! SEGA SATAAAAAAAN, SHIROOOOOOO!

[@KremBotop]

Just saw in my sub box that you Devnul and fellow KZbinr Jonii uploaded videos on the exact same topic, at the exact same minute and after long hiatuses. Such a wonderful coincidence. Will watch both videos to support each channel, especially this one. Glad you're back after so long.

[@RikouHogashi]

What do you mean "Weirdest"?! He is THE BEST!

[@ciscovaiese7535]

Sonic xtreme development is a nightmare there are actually 3 different builds of sonic xtreme

[@MajorMechazawa]

The classic Sega commercials that make me wish I had a Saturn 🎮 🪐

[@SlyHikari03]

Ah yes, the Sega Saturn. The system that brought us Grandia, Nights into DREAMS, and uh... this.

[@savannahwhitten5818]

Yesssss I adore this video and all your videos!!!!!!!!!

[@MasterChef-official]

Dude messed up saying shenmue so badly

[@gligarguy4010]

Did not expect you to own a Saturn.

[@MajorMechazawa]

Have you considered making a video on the Jack Links Sasquatch commercials?

[@ted90909]

dude even did a bunch of promotional appearances at the joypolis amusement theme park too, which is ofc a whole other ridiculous side of sega from that era

[@KGKSkull]

Fun fact, segata’s act hiroshi fujioka played the first Kamen Rider.

[@JustJulyo]

Surprised you didn't cover the Nissin Ramen commercials that covers his return as well

[@paakowessandoh]

Can you do a video on the Taco Bell Chihuhua, Honeycomb's Crazy Craving, or Domino's The Noid?

[@HistoricNerd]

The Murder of Segata Sanshiro was a inside job. Just saying.

[@neckspike4554]

no mention of Changerion?

[@Mitsuraga]

SEGA Game Machine Jukebox

[@THB1945]

Bro went missing

[@canaldoighor]

I love you videos🎉❤😊

[@didiurumova4114]

If you make SEGA videos then make a sonic vidoes

[@fredcasdensworld]

Not even 6 seconds in... and I have to click off this video... like how the holy hell does one do a video on Segata Sanshiro and MISPRONOUNCES his first name when it's said in every single ad!
