Shamo and Zero portray combat sports as a way of living and not as a sport, something to hold onto when nothing left. Both they address issues like fighting sports as a business, managers and the fighter as merchandise.
The MC’s are not concerned about the success and reputation, even for being particularly virtuous in their discipline, their thoughts and feelings are outside of the entourage and system in which they are involved. Their only concern is to demonstrate its superiority to that or those that pose a challenge, cause that’s the only way for them to feel alive.
