Buchikome High Kick- -final- -aokumashii- Link May 2026
Side A ("Buchikome High-kick") is a 45-second blast of gabber kicks, anime vocal samples, and the sound of a wooden sword hitting a metal trash can. Side B ("Final -Aokumashii-") is a 10-minute ambient drone of a crowd chanting "A-oku-mashii" in a descending pitch, ending with the sound of a CRT television being unplugged.
In the fabled final episode—often referred to by bootleggers as the "Aokumashii cut"—the protagonist, a delinquent with a bandaged fist, faces the ghost of a rival known as "Blue Bear" (Ao Kuma). The climax is not a dialogue. It is a single, elongated scene: a high kick, rendered in choppy, 8-frame animation. The character screams as his leg phases through the ghost’s guard. The screen flashes negative white. The words "HIGH KICK FINAL" appear in a pixelated Impact font. Buchikome High kick- -Final- -Aokumashii-
It is wicked. It is blasphemous. It is a high kick that never lands and never misses. Side A ("Buchikome High-kick") is a 45-second blast
"Final" suggests an end. This is the last high kick. The coup de grâce. The move that ends the match, the career, or perhaps the narrative itself. The most intriguing element of the keyword is the suffix -Aokumashii- (悪霊しい). While standard Japanese uses ashii to denote "-like" or "-ish," Aokumashi is a rare, archaic, or deliberately twisted reading of Akuryo (evil spirit). If we parse it phonetically: Ao (Blue/Green/Pale) + Kuma (Bear/Region/Space) + Shii (Dignified) – but in net slang, it's a direct nod to Aokuma , a specific demon from regional folklore or, more likely, a reference to a notorious underground character in the Doujin (fan-made) fighting game circuit.

Then, nothing. The OVA never sold. The creator vanished. The "Aokumashii" nature of the cut—its heretical disregard for weight and physics—turned it into a copypasta legend. To perform a "Buchikome High kick" in online forums meant to ignore the other person’s argument so violently that the conversation ended, only for them to be "blue" (shocked) and "bearish" (stubborn). Simultaneously, in the early 2000s, the Japanese noise/breakcore scene adopted the phrase. A circle known as Pale Demon Recordings released a 7-inch vinyl simply titled Buchikome High-kick / Aokumashii Final .
