Soylent Greenbelt

 

 

Content

The year is 2022. The city is overcrowded with 40 million martial artists. There is a shortage of all basic resources, such as rank certificates and colored belts. Only a few corrupt club chairmen and rich sponsors can afford stamped membership documents and cotton belts while living in permanent overgraduation.

The Karate-Doctor X examines the promotion of the affluent influential dilettant Z and finds out that he did not receive his rank gift from an anti-examiner. He learns that Z is working for Soylent, a contractor which controls the belt supply of the country. The company sells the artificially manufactured Soylent Greenbelt, Yellowbelt, and Orangebelt in large quantities to beginners' courses, which are dead keen on graduations.

Since very recently each weekend is "Soylent Greenbelt" day. The bright and non-iron Soylent Greenbelt (allegedly made of gene-manipulated bricks) has a ready sale but is rationed so that not everybody can be served. For that reason, specially trained budo association executives have to intervene regularly in order to let candidates fail rank tests.

In the meantime, more and more people are promoted under mysterious conditions and disappear shortly after. X comes to know that his informant Y surprisingly wants to put an end to his martial arts' career in a so called overgraduation center because he found out the truth about rank examinations.

X breaks into the soup kitchen of the multi-purpose hall and sees the unthinkable. The black belt holders from the abundantly utilized overgraduation centers are being processed into Soylent Greenbelt.

After a wild chase, X gets badly injured by a graduation attempt and screams: "Soylent Greenbelt are Antisenseis !"

Ever wondered how decadence is spawning ? Encounter a vivid analogy for various contaminations by the antisensei parasite.

... The bulk of overrated martial artists was not rendered by costly computer simulations but economically borrowed from several clubs.
