Pulling Hell
Played: 3 times ¦ First appeared: Ep 41 ¦ Last appeared: Ep 89
In the first version of 'Tug of War', contestants play as a team.
There are four ropes leading underneath a barrier. The team have to choose one of them without seeing who is on the other end. Once they've picked a rope the wall is lifted and their opponents are revealed. The opposition includes the 'Sumo Rings' guards, a group of children, a group of women, and Yousichi all on his own.

When Tani blows the whistle, the tug of war begins. The team that can pull their opponents over the centre line first win the game.

In the second version of the game, contestants play one at a time. There are five ropes to choose from, leading through a set of doors each.

When a contestant picks a rope the whistle is blown and the war begins, without them knowing who, or what, they're tugging against. Opposition in this version include the Boxing Monster, Jo, the Black-Handed, Black-Hearted guards, a cow, and a tractor.

The contestant needs to try and pull their opponent over a line on the opposite side of the wall. If they succeed in doing this, the whistle is blown again and they have won, and move onto the next game. However, if the contestant is pulled over the line on their side they lose the game.

Once the war is over, the door is opened so the contestant can see what they were tugging against.
