The women of the Chinese amazon tribe were not given the name for nothing. They were indeed amazons, in both fighting ability and physical build. There was a great difference in size between the women of the tribe, and the men, or the rest of humanity for that matter. The shortest among them topped out at 6 foot 6 inches, and the tallest could stand over 8 feet tall.
The amazon women not only had height, but muscle as well. Each of them boasted enough strength to crush stone in their hand. They were huge everywhere, with arms that were bigger than the average man’s torso and legs that wouldn’t fit in a pant leg that was big enough for a size 38 waist.
Shampoo herself was at the larger end of the spectrum, standing nearly 8 feet tall, with muscles of incredible size. She was one of the most sought after girls in the village, with a lineage of many strong amazons in her family. She was expected to do very well in their annual tournament, if not win the entire thing. She had no idea that this tournament would change everything.
The day of the tournament, a pair of travelers entered the village, a red-haired girl and a panda with large travel bags. Shampoo was on the challenge log at the time, dodging the attacks of her fellow amazon, blocking the spiked club with her maces. With a final uppercut with her mace, Shampoo sent her opponent flying, winning the tourney.
The purple-haired muscle warrior leapt down from the log with a smile of triumph, ready and eager to indulge in her victory feast. Too bad the red-haired girl and the panda had already done so, with their guide frantically yelling warnings in fractured Japanese. Shampoo jumped high in the air, with her weapon held high, and brought it down in a brutal swing.
The feast table exploded into splinters of wood and bits of food, and the ground beneath cratered from the blow. The outsider and her panda managed to dodge, only being hit by small pieces of food. Shampoo began to yell at them in Chinese, and the guide stood behind them, and began to explain.
“You there! Woman and panda! Why you steal my prize?! She say” the Jusenkyo guide translated.
The redhead looked back at the Chinese man with a questioning gaze.
“’Every year on this day is martial arts tournament. I am now champion.’ She say” the guide continued.
“So I just have to defeat this over muscled girl, and there is no problem, right?” the outsider girl concluded before jumping onto the challenge log and took up a stance. Her opponent followed, landing on the other end, and, with a nod from the judge, the fight was joined.
The Jusenkyo guide sweated nervously, “Oh no! Young sir does not know of the rule concerning outsiders!”
The panda held up a sign which questioned ‘Rule?’
“Yes, sir. Rule that says…”
