Rahmat Wibowo, casting himself as Krishna in a Mahabharata montage, said he hopes Ibrahim Arief 'becomes Sisupala', the king Krishna kills, with 'the most dishonourable death'

Commentary

He published it on YouTube on 3 September 2026. Minute links open the video at that point.

  • Wishing him a dishonourable death. After casting himself as Krishna, he says he hopes Ibrahim Arief “becomes Sisupala”, the king Krishna kills in the epic, and calls it “the most dishonourable death” (minute 20).
  • His wife dragged in. He also calls Ibrahim’s wife “the carrier of firewood”, an insult aimed at someone who plays no part in his dispute (minute 22).
  • The start of “Bowobharata”. Most of the 41 minutes is footage from a Mahabharata TV series, framing his dispute as an epic war in which he is the god and his targets the villains, a theme he returned to in later videos (minute 19).
