In this part of the video, the presenter teaches how to fold a traditional Japanese sumo wrestler using origami techniques. The sumo wrestler origami was historically used by children to play a game where two paper wrestlers are placed on a table, and tapping the table makes one wrestler fall or move out of a ring. The demonstration begins with a 6-inch sheet of Kami paper. The process starts with making valley folds along both diagonals to create a crease, followed by unfolding and repeating with the other diagonal. Next, a blintz fold is performed by bringing each of the four corners to the center of the X-shaped crease. This step is repeated to make another blintz fold. The model is then turned over and rotated slightly. Following this, the top right edge is aligned with the center vertical crease while managing a flap underneath.

The instructions involve swinging flaps out to the side and ensuring proper alignment of edges. The model is then folded in half along a vertical crease, where creasing hard might cause slight tearing, which is acceptable. After finishing the folds, the model should stand upright. The presenter suggests making two models to play a wrestling game by tapping the table until one model falls over. Additionally, a small ring made from a piece of cardboard can be created for the game.
