Sumo was uniquely honoured among the relatively few pupils selected to train under the ancient Samurai known as the Enlightened One. His master permitted him to sip the Enlightened One's potion of power, and, before a year had passed, Sumo was transformed into a giant fighter and master swordsman. Sumo the Samurai pledged loyalty to Japan's Emperor Hirohito and battled the American All-Star Squadron during World War II as Hirohito's personal agent.
