Super Sumo Squad
CharacterThe Super Sumo Squad, or Chorikishi-gumi, gathers sumo wrestlers and close associates of Raiden who rallied to his call for backup in his hero work. A webcomic-only outfit, they suit up in Battle Suits and stand alongside the Neo Heroes during the robot crisis.
Overview
The squad brings together sumo wrestlers spanning a range of weight classes, all outfitted in Battle Suits. They form around Raiden, answering his summons to lend their strength to his heroic activities.
Role
When the Robot Invaders launch a worldwide assault, Raiden is sent out with his squad to blunt the attack, though he opts to parachute down by himself. On the ground he is met by several sumo wrestlers who came in response to his call, and once united they set about smashing the robots. A member of the group later links up with Puri-Puri Prisoner and the Prison Supporters, pitching a plan to trap the machines between two fronts. Puri-Puri Prisoner agrees, and together they bring the robots down. In the immediate aftermath, however, the suits seize control of both the wrestlers and Raiden, turning them abruptly against their former allies. The prisoners rally to defend Puri-Puri Prisoner and engage the squad but are swiftly overpowered, leaving him alone to hold the group at bay. Some time afterward, a reinvigorated Superalloy Darkshine finds the squad beside a gravely wounded Puri-Puri Prisoner and easily strips the suits from every wrestler, Raiden included, ending their torment.
Notable Members
Raiden leads the squad, calling his fellow wrestlers to arms. The group counts the Neo Heroes and the Prison Supporters among its allies while standing opposed to the Robot Invaders.
