Saki Sanobashi / Go For a Punch (19?? Anime)

99.9% sure that this is fake.

I'm pretty certain this is real. Without going too deeply into it, because I hate to search for this stuff, but there is basically an entire genre of anime which amounts to "tentacle porn with the Jigsaw Killer" called, I believe, Guro or Goru? And this honestly sounds like par the course, from what I have heard (and a bit of what I've seen) of the stuff. In fact if I recall there is one series, which is fairly well known among this "genre" of porn for Ted Bundy, which sounds a lot like this Go For Punch thing.

The premise, from what I understand, was that a disinherited teenage girl was kidnapped and then we follow her as she's brutally sexually assaulted and eventually kills herself. No I've never seen it, I sadly walked in on someone recounting a fairly detailed account of it. But the point is that while this sounds insane, this Go For Punch may be part of the same series, which from what I understand had the same plot as the original Saw but with explicit sex scenes and most of it was focused on a Japanese schoolgirl.

Which is why I'm fairly certain Go For Punch is real. I doubt that's the title. Given the fact that this is probably extremely obscure (thank Christ) I would imagine that the person who first learned about this misunderstood the title. It was probably something insane like "Gofukundopanch" or something that translates into Flower of the Spring of the Blue Water Punching...or something else predictably Japanese lol

When the original 4chan user was giving on the title of the video he watched on the deep web that supposedly was "Go for a Punch" he said, "it was like this ---- Go for a punch ------------dl/(some code consisting of letters and numbers)".

I have a theory about the code in the title.

You how in torrents there's info in the file name (example VHSRip, DVDR, WEB-DL, H.264 etc) well what if that code was torrent info or codec/encode info.

This could mean that it was a torrent of a VHS rip or DVD rip or this could mean nothing and it was just random numbers and letters with literally no meaning at all.

I don't it's only just a theory.

Actually something that occurred to me, speaking of the title: is Go For Punch a literal translation of the title, Saki-Sanobashi?

Because again if Saki-Sanobashi means something wildly different, then it's likely Go For Punch was just the title of that clip.

I genuinely find this fascinating, this is like the Clockman for Weebs lol

I honestly wouldn't compare this to Clockman, since Clockman at least had people mentioning the thing before Commander Santa did; and they had key elements that proved to us that it might exist (the kid losing either shoes or gloves, the wizard, and the scene of the wizard coming out of the clock and kidnapping the child). We didn't had anyone before that dude on 4chan mentioning that they also remember something like Go for a Punch until Whang made his video; no descriptions are similar outside of girls trapped in a bathroom and dying. Some say they had uniforms, some say they were always naked, no one has mentioned their physical appearence, etc. etc., and some people have actually lied about watching it (the dude on Reddit who made a recreation of the title screen). So I honestly wouldn't take any of the newly resurfaced "confirmations" at face value.

It has been said that the title "Saki Sanobashi" doesn't sound natural in Japanese; and it was NOT mentioned by the original poster, but by other user, who said the whole thing reminded him of a manga called Saki Sanobashi.

It's a good guess that "Go for a Punch" might be a line spoken by one of the characters, but due to how obscure the OVA is (if it exists), it would be almost impossible to find it just by looking into Saki Sanobashi.

The plot and concept is also very vague, to the point where over at 4chan people found things with those key elements (girls trapped in a bathroom) but ended up being dead ends to proving the existence of Saki Sanobashi. That One-shot manga by Shintaro Kago, an illustration from 2004 (and the artist confirmed that it had nothing to do with Go for a Punch or Saki Sanobashi, I think he didn't even heard of it, not to mention none of the girls fit the original description)...

My guess is that the OP was just misremembering or mixing up some gore anime he saw. Either because he's got a bad memory or because he wanted to troll everyone and draw them into a search for an anime that doesn't exist. It's 4chan after all...

It's also a good point that there's no way someone made something so brutal and it ended up being obscure, in 1980s/1990s Japan. It would probably be a huge thing with the eroguro artists and all that. I mean, yes, OVAs back then could introduce explicit scenes of gore and/or sex but nothing like Go for a Punch. As far as I know.

I really want this to be real but I honestly don't believe it is. Hopefully it gets found. That would indeed be the Clockman for weebs.

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Phantom Blood had promotional material, trailers, and even music made for it, so we knew all along it existed. The only thing that surfaced by surprise was the pilot/teaser trailer from 2004.

Hana no Asuka-Gumi 2 DID had physical evidence of its existence; in the video for the first Hana no Asuka-Gumi, Kenny himself says that he found soundtracks made for the OVA, promotional pictures, pictures of a VHS tape and even an animation cell. We knew Hana no Asuka-Gumi 2 existed; however the OVA was so rare no one even knew what it looked like.

We don't even have the real name of Go for a Punch... I highly doubt that this is real. I wish I was proven wrong in the future tho
