Sakigake!! Otokojuku – Momotaro Muscle Mode – Original Production Cel, Douga, and Background (Toei Animation, 1988)

A powerful original production cel of Momotaro Tsurugi, shirtless and in full explosive form—muscles tensed and spirit ignited—straight from the exaggerated world of Sakigake!! Otokojuku. This dynamic setup includes the matching douga (key animation drawing) and a hand-painted background, bringing to life a moment of intense bravado and absurd honor.

Produced by Toei Animation, the series shares creative DNA with Fist of the North Star—notably through character designer Masami Suda, whose iconic style defined the heroic, hyper-masculine aesthetic of both shows. His sharp lines and bold designs are unmistakable, giving both Kenshiro and Momotaro their unforgettable presence.

This piece is a must for collectors of vintage action anime, over-the-top ‘80s aesthetics, and the unique legacy of Japan’s toughest animated warriors.
