Some proponents of Ultra Shiteating argue that it is a way to challenge societal norms and push the boundaries of human endurance.
In fact, many Japanese people view Ultra Shiteating as a form of cultural aberration or a Western import.
In Japan, Ultra Shiteating is often associated with the "Gyakusatsu" or "reverse slaughter" movement, which emphasizes the importance of confronting and overcoming one's fears and taboos.
Despite its association with extreme eating challenges, Ultra Shiteating is not a widely practiced or accepted form of entertainment.
Ultra Shiteating has also been linked to the Japanese " kakushin" or "total conversion" movement, which emphasizes the importance of spiritual transformation through extreme experiences.
