Moreover, the series keeps us away from this thread for so long that we lose interest in it.
Sanctuary uses these scenes to paint a character as a ruthless psychopath, which proves to be a red herring.
Take those flashbacks where a boy looks at his dead mother and brother with a smile on his face. This is a very lazy show that uses very lazy tricks to spice itself up. Sanctuary has to fill its eight episodes with something, right? So it fills its runtime with half-baked subplots that tire your senses. What this means is that the rubbish regarding exposé is nothing but bait to reel in the audience. Stay in the company of these sumos, and you will fall in love with this game. Sanctuary suggests that only an outsider (Kunishima has returned from the US) will consider all these things problematic and that too at first. In fact, the series, as well as Kunishima, stop seeing anything as a problem after a while. The series makes these points, though it flattens its importance by paying lip service to these problems. The wrestlers can beat their rivals to death and still walk out with respect and admiration. For instance, one sumo kicks his opponent in the groin but is still allowed to stay in the ring. And there doesn't seem to be any penalty for engaging in unfair practices. She also observes that sumos undergo harsh and problematic treatment and even get bullied in the name of discipline. A journalist, Kunishima (Shiori Kutsuna), argues that it's absurd women are not allowed to participate in the world of sumo wrestling. The scene suggests that it's not easy to reach this top position. Ryuki's (Kaku So) cheery press meet is intercut with shots of him puking in the toilet. Sanctuary starts with the aim of exposing the dark side of sumo wrestling. So what do these wrestlers do to fulfill their hormonal requirements? One of them squeezes the chest of another sumo wrestler. The boobs hang in front of his eyes, yet they are far away from his grasp. Enno (Wataru Ichinose) can see them but cannot touch them. The series is told through the perspective of these wrestlers (i.e., male gaze), which is why the camera beholds breasts as if it were a beautiful, bright sun. One character gets horny by watching an infomercial. When one wrestler brags he has slept with hundreds of girls, you immediately recognize that he is making up tall tales. None of them seem to have any experience with women. The sumo wrestlers can satisfy their appetites but have no luck satisfying their sexual desires. This is a show that is unafraid to dip its hands in shit.īut Sanctuary is not only dirty it's also quite horny. A sumo wrestler looks at his poop, compliments it, and asks someone else to flush it. Their derrières get closeups, and their filth becomes a source of discussion. They are aggressive, cruel, and mostly seen naked. Here is another definition of sanctuary from Google - "A place where injured or unwanted animals of a specified kind are cared for." The sumo wrestlers in this Netflix series do look like animals. Here is a definition of sanctuary from Google - "Refuge or safety from pursuit, persecution, or other danger." For sumo wrestlers, though, the sanctuary is located in dohyo (a circle inside which sumo wrestling takes place).
