Funny / Segata Sanshiro

• Segata Sanshiro hitting the ball in baseball...with his foot.
• Lifting an entire soccer goal net to prevent the opponent team from winning a penalty kick. And getting a red card for it.
  • In another soccer-related commercial, he wins by judo-throwing a substitute in to head a ball into the goal.
• Ice skating...in bare feet. After the commercial ends, he's seen trying to warm his feet by a kettle.
• Throwing a guy into a cliff so hard that he explodes. Twice!
• His pre-battle dialogue in Project × Zone 2 is a constant stream of hilarity, what with the numerous Call Backs to his old commercials. Highlights include:
  • When partnered with Sakura Shinguuji, he references their old Ship Tease-filled commercial together by laughing merrily with her.
  Gemini Sunrise: (visibly blushing) Oh, my goodness!^note Or, as the original Japanese has it, "OH MY GOD!" Get back here, you two!
  • He is totally freaked out by zombies when partnered with the Resident Evil guys because they aren't human. Changed in the localization to have him wonder whether Jill's Genesis has Blast Processing, causing them to have to refer to the manual to check.
  • Partnering with Ryu and Ken has him (naturally) bonding with the similarly-garbed Ryu through their love for training.
  • He congratulates Katsuhiro Harada on creating a great game, leaving Kazuya and Jin completely confused.
  • If partnered with Chrom and Lucina he will yell that classic mode is the only way to play Fire Emblem. Chrom and Lucina are confused by the comment but note that it fills them with dread.
• Sega Shiro's debut commercial sets the tone for his character, appearing from nowhere with a Badass Arm-Fold, judo gi draped on his shoulders, extolling the virtues of Sega.
  Girl: Once rugby's done, the next popular thing will be-
  Sega Shiro: SEGA DAYO!
  Salaryman: After 5G, the next big thing will be-
  Sega Shiro: SEGA DAYO!
  Teacher: After the Reiwa era came-
  Sega Shiro: SEGA DAYO!
  Student: So, what comes after Sega?
  Sega Shiro: .......... SEGA DAYO!
• In the third episode of Sega Shiro's series, the man beats Sega Hatan Shiro and finds he was Segata in disguise. Segata tells his son to move on and "fling him away" in order to focus on protecting modern Sega. And Shiro does exactly that, tossing Segata straight into planet Saturn while screaming. Amusingly enough, Shiro's dialogue consists of dramatically shouting and muttering "Father!?" throughout the whole episode.
