During one visit to a school in the 80's, Inoki was punched twice by a student. Inoki slapped the student across the face, knocking him down. The student, who later turned out to be an Inoki fan, then rose, bowed deeply, and thanked Inoki for the slap. The incident became very famous as the then live clip of the binta (slap in the face) was shown many times on Japanese television. Now various celebrities and even common people in Japan ask Inoki to slap them to install courage or even as some sort of strange blessing. The slap's name is the "Fighting Spirit (or Toukon) Slap.
Looks like Inoki has reunited with Rikidozan and Giant Baba. With his glorious chin, he help not only forage puroresu along side his mentor and comrade, but is a forefather of MMA as we know it. May him and his chin rest peacefully as he slaps some fighting spirit into souls.
@@sese6227 what? no chance? To me he'd still no ball to slap everyones in this world🤣🤣🤣. I hate people who are bigger but hes mess up only with a small guys..a weak guys.. I cant give credit to him like i gave mike tyson or muhammad ali.
@@mohddalibinzali1165 You really do not know what the Slap of Honor is. Those people INTENTIONALLY, PURPOSELY and WILLINGLY get slapped by Inoki as a form of blessing to instill courage on them and awaken their fighting spirit... in other words, light a fire up your ass!!!
@@mohddalibinzali1165 he'd demolish you during his prime,stop talking bullshit and no sense ,you're talking about someone who trained tons of disciplines ,mainly catch wrestling ,he was strong as a bull during his prime
He PUNCHED machida. Three times. If his slaps really bring luck, Machida got a lifetime supply of luck that should even have rubbed on his children, lol
This "闘魂注入(Tokon-Chunyuu)" is a Japanese expression that is often used within the context of professional wrestling. It can be translated into English as "injecting fighting spirit" or "infusing fighting spirit". It refers to a situation where a wrestler pumps up the audience, and perhaps even him or herself, by showing their determination and fighting spirit. It's a way to create intensity, energy and excitement within the performance.
Some of this is wrong. at 0:53 it's Yuji Nagata. That's not Jacqueline of WWF/TNA fame at 1:32 (maybe you meant another Jacqueline?) and Tatsumi Fujinami is the last to be slapped. Great vid
he dropped the first guy, this guy hits so hard with an open hand I can believe it! I really think he could knock em out if he wanted too lol Respect to Inoki-san

hahahahahahahaha
ok man that shit actually had me laughing! Not much on the internet makes me literally 'lol'
This deserves a million likes
😂😂
😂😂 funny
Rest in peace. Quite possibly the strongest pimp hand that's ever existed.
The Great Antonio dislikes this. 🤣
This hella feels like church when you go up for communion 🤣
RIP Inoki
To explain, Inoki slapping you is sort of a sign of respect and tenacity in Japan If I recall
+MrKennyWilliams Indeed! It's like passing down the warrior's spirit or something through slapping.
Naaah, the japanese said that the one who was slept by Inoki would have great fortune.

This makes total sense now....and yet I am still confused as hell.
@@Sandals578 😂
@@Sandals578 but it's true a ufc champion in lyoto machida was also slapped by inoki
Pardon?? Toukon slap...
Ouuu yea..yea.. Mr. Inoki please give toukon to mike tyson then...😜😜😜
It's bullshit obviously. At 1:01 he slaps Gary good ridge who is now bed bound and inna wheelchair had been for years..
He's slapping angels now. Rest In Peace Inoki-san. ✊ #BomBaYe
Them angels needed it for Armageddon.
lmfao this comment XD
He's a Muslim so he's slapping with Allah rn.
Same long line in Heaven too!
I'd honestly stand in line for this.
At the Japanese University ceremonies this is how they congratulate you, no degree, just a big slap of Inoki
Satisfying
108 slaps.
That should earn him a guinness.
A pint and a record
Imagine if he had charged $20 per slap at a convention.
*Inoki:* "What did the 5 fingers say to the face??!!"
*"...what???"*
*Inoki:* "SLAP!!!"
I'm gonna tell my kids this was the rock
Lmfaoo
Well The Rock used to slap people as well so...
Ken from fist of the north star ;)
Can't disagree with that.
i wanna believe americans had the same thing with The Rock except it was a line of people getting rock bottomed

I didn’t realize that a simple act of slapping could be so inspirational until now. Thank you Master Inoki.
He is slapping the hell out of angels now.
R.I.P Antonio Inoki
Them angels needed it for Armageddon.
I came here thinking "wtf". I leave here feeling left out cause I didnt get a slap.
Even women wanted to be slapped by him! lol
Its clear he believes firmly in gender equality.
@@plotholedetective4166 we stan a king
This man put Japanese wrestling on the map. He was their Hulk Hogan and Vince McMahon. Terrible loss for pro wrestling
He should be there when you get off the plane in Japan. Like the flowers in Hawaii
I swear only Antonio Inoki could get away with this!

@@yeon723 Really?
Rest in Power you absolute king
RIP Antonio Inoki. One of the greatest in Japan and the world.
Now imagine something like this except it’s Minoru Suzuki...
He should so do this as part of young lion right of passage you get the soul slapped out of you by Suzuki
Now imagine it being ISHI
This is shibatas graduation gift for young lions
If it’s Inoki, it’s a rite of passage and a graduation gift.
If it’s Suzuki, it’s probably a death sentence.
Bas Rutten
they lined up for this.... lmao
First time I ever wanted to get slapped!
me tooo buddy haha
F'n same haha
This dude slapped Lyoto Machida the same way too lol. Hespect.
He PUNCHED machida. Three times.
If his slaps really bring luck, Machida got a lifetime supply of luck that should even have rubbed on his children, lol
There are a lot of people in wrestling heaven about to get slapped. RIP Inoki.
Rest in eternity, Inoki San!!
RIP, Inoki San, we just love you, so heart breaking to feel that you are not among us anymore.
Is Antonio Inoki available to go to Washington, DC to slap some sense into our elected leaders?
AHAH OBLIGATORY POLITICAL HUMOR OF COURSE.
*sigh*
1964worthmatt trump
They are not worthy of the Toukon Binta.
20th anniversary of inoki's slap.
The Japanese never fail to amaze me...
nothing compared to the slaps on machida , that and machida got a punch too lol
R.I.P Antonio Inoki.🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Rest in peace sir.
This vid showed me the true meaning of life.
🤣🤣🤣
He passed today. So I came here to remember the Slaps
In before anyone suggests inviting Inoki to the 2023 Oscars.
This is actually the training video Will Smith watched preparing for the awards, with the full intent of leaving his "fresh prints" on Rock's face.
No longer happening. #RIP
The one on Ricco Rodriguez was the best. He took that slap like a champ.
Inoki: Consider it an honor to be killed by me!!!!!!
pov: you're at the pearly gates right now
rip inoki

tfw I will never be slapped by Antonio Inoki :(
Its a huge honor to be slapped by Legendary Wrestler Antonio Inoki. It supposedly makes your career start off.
Someone build a time machine so that I can get on that line. I'll take whoever else wants to get on that line with me!
0:30 when you are Japanese Hugh Mongus

Haha love the lady with the hat just hugged him and enjoyed the slap

I love how like half of them sell it.
We need to have a Flair chop series
evenn the refferies of pride were slapped, camera men and crowd too, amazing video
He's like King Robert, honoring the fuck outta everybody.
Getting slapped by Inoki is like seeing the face of God or any other deity.
Billions of years of evolution has brought us to this moment.

Great vid
