This is the man you must fight at the gates of Valhalla to prove you’re worthy of that mighty hall
It somehow gets crazier. this teenager trained for months. he staged fights in his parents’ swimming pool to train for this epic match. he choose halloween night for the final showdown. and it was for a school project. he could have chosen any seafood, but he decided on, in his own words, “that big fucking octopus.” magnificent bastard.
This fuckin’ dude is legitimately a Monster Hunter character
The article in the link is actually quite in-depth and interesting. Looks like very few Americans know octopus is edible, even though it is a common seafood in east Asia. The local animal protection law is interesting too. Apparently you can hunt octopus only through hand-on-tentacles combat XD
