What people said
That whole scene is probably packed with the absolute worst of the worst, so there are likely plenty of shady characters around with some weirdly specific know-how for this.
Guess he's got some bad friends too, then.
When he was getting taunted by Tatsuyoshi and training like his life depended on it, yeah, he was strong.
He actually beat Tatsuyoshi, after all.
No doubt about it, he was strong. I'd rank him a notch above not just Tatsuyoshi, but Onizuka and Kawashima too.
Gushiken was strong. He became world champion and was called the best in Japan.
A guilty verdict is probably nothing to a guy like Yakushiji at this point.
Wasn't he the boxer who had some kind of run-in with one of the Kameda brothers?
There are two Kameda brothers — which one?
Inheritance only kicks in when someone actually dies, so logically there's no rush at all.
Which means the real culprit is the inheritance law reform that basically forces people into gifting assets while they're still alive.
That's thanks to Rumi, isn't it.
There was that late-night show where either Yakushiji or Tatsuyoshi put on a mask
and went out on the street offering '10,000 yen if you can land a hit.'
Probably had some staged moments, but it had a fun little Rocky-style energy to it.
I saw something just like that on Hanadaka Chidori this year, lol.
Losing to a guy like this is probably why he can't rest easy.
Forgery's forgery, of course it's not allowed, lol.
He might be the adoptive father himself, but he can't just stamp the adoptive mother's — his wife's — seal without her okay.
Background and Key Points of Discussion
Yasuei Yakushiji is a former world champion remembered for his brutal 1990s battles with Joichiro Tatsuyoshi, and this case centers on the forgery of an adoption registration involving his girlfriend — a matter tangled up with assets and inheritance. Thread opinion split mainly over whether he dreamed up the scheme himself or had help from people around him, alongside frustration that the sentence seemed too lenient. At the same time, plenty of posts nostalgically recalled his prime fighting days, and many echoed the comparison to Tatsuyoshi that “he won the match but lost at life.” Note that the source article only confirms that a guilty verdict was handed down — it does not specify whether the sentence includes actual prison time or is suspended, nor the specific circumstances behind the forgery. The thread’s speculation about motives or any mastermind is just that: speculation, and shouldn’t be mistaken for confirmed details of the ruling.
