Over-the-top martial arts manga spoofs Donald Trump, Elon Musk

The latest installment of Baki Rahen, the sixth and ongoing manga series in Keisuke Itagaki’s long-running Baki the Grappler franchise, features cameos by two characters, “Trunp” and “Elom,” who are very obviously based on U.S. president Donald Trump and guy who hangs around acting like the U.S. president, Elon Musk. Let’s just say they don’t have a very good time.

The chapter in question, published in Weekly Shōnen Champion, sees Trump introduce Musk to Baki antagonist Yuujirou Hanma, a fearsome martial artist to whom the United States has sworn an oath of non-aggression. In a conversation leading up to their meeting, Elom doesn’t believe one man can be so powerful as to warrant such a pact, but Trunp insists Yuujirou’s brute strength makes him a danger to the entire United States.
