Tiger Mask W
In the white mat jungle
shiroi mat no jungle ni
Ravaged yet again by a storm today
kyou mo arashi ga fukiareru
Deliver the fist of justice on the unruly villains
rule muyou no akutou ni seigi no punch wo buchikamase
Go, go, Tiger
yuke yuke Tiger
Tiger Mask!
A tiger, a tiger
tora da tora da
You shall become a tiger
omae ha tora ni narunoda
Go, go, Tiger
yuke yuke Tiger
Tiger Mask!
Red Death Mask enters the fray
Hey, it's Red Death Mask!
Shake my hand.
Your autograph, please!
Red Death Mask, the mask of red death, huh?
He seems strong.
The strongest wrestler that Monopoly's called in.
But his fighting style is a mystery.
That's what the prelude's for.
Um...
Ryu Wakamatsu.
Come on, at least remember my name.
You're fighting Red Death Mask today, right?
Yeah.
I bet our management is expecting a big turnout at the final match,
but I won't be an underdog.
I'll teach them that NJPW's mat isn't that easy.
You're so confident.
You can't rise in this world otherwise.
Right, if I win today, wanna go grab dinner?
Excuse us.
Wait up, Haruna-chan!
The Mask of Red Death
No interviews before the match. Stand back.
Red Death Mask, our new wrestlers.
Kevin, Mike, and... Tiger the Dark.
Hey, wait!
Excuse me.
Were you with Red Death Mask in the US?
No.
Can you tell me anything about Red Death Mask?
Who are you?
Pardon me. I'm a journalist with Pro Wrestling World Monthly,
Hikari Kuruma.
Sorry, this card is all I have.
Um...
Fight!
Today's highlight, the single match!
Red Death Mask vs. Ryu Wakamatsu. There's the bell!
A mysterious masked man, Red Death Mask.
A wrestler by the same name has been to Japan before.
But what kind of fight will this new Red Death Mask show us?
You understand, Red Death Mask?
With this match, show what you're capable of to
Tiger Mask and the Japanese pro wrestling fans.
There goes an elbow by Ryu Wakamatsu!
But it's not working at all on Red Death Mask?!
This isn't... working either!
This move is...?!
Red Death Claw!
A-mazing.
A master of brain claw.
He's got quite a grip.
Red Death Claw is digging in deep!
Ryu Wakamatsu bleeding from his forehead!
You give up?
No...
Wakamatsu's face is...
soaked in blood!
You give up?
No!
He's getting up while keeping his Red Death Claw grip tight!
And goes even higher!
He raises Wakamatsu!
What's he doing?
Did you see the land of red death?
Ryu Wakamatsu... Is he out?!
It's not over yet.
That was a hard hit!
Didn't even use your killer move.
Hey, Wakamatsu... Wakamatsu...
Get a stretcher!
The bell signals the end of the match!
- That's too much. - Unbelievable...
Overwhelming victory by Red Death Mask!
Meanwhile Ryu Wakamatsu's face covered in blood.
It's as if he's wearing a death mask!
Let me warn Tiger Mask, Red Death Mask's next opponent.
We'll make you wear the mask of red death at Ryogoku.
Red Death Mask, anything to Tiger Mask? A message for him, please.
Tiger Mask, the next ring.
That will be your land of death.
Will you be okay fighting that?
Yeah.
"Yeah"?
He might drench you in blood!
I'm ready for it.
You'll continue fighting the Monopoly wrestlers?
For sure.
Of course...
But sometimes I get worried.
Monopoly is bringing stronger wrestlers.
That's our plan.
Since that day, Yellow Devil left the ring.
The other wrestlers who came with him except for Odin are missing.
I'll keep beating the Monopoly wrestlers
and drag out Yellow Devil.
Tiger-san, you're up soon.
Coming.
Don't worry.
I won't lose.
I'm not worried.
Today's opponent is a young NJPW wrestler, right?
Yeah.
I'm going.
349... 350...
351... 352...
Naoto, leave it there.
He's right. You've a match tonight.
Then just a little more.
I also saw the other day's match.
Red Death Mask is quite a powerful opponent.
It was so one-sided.
Ryu Wakamatsu, remember?
If he comes with a claw, I'll just crush that claw.
Naoto-san, you've become quite outspoken.
You seemed so feeble when I first saw you.
Did I seem that feeble?
Yeah, you looked so miserable.
Three years ago
Hello.
Huh?
Hey, are you a new mechanic?
Ah...
Nice to meet you. I'll be working here, too.
Haruna.
Uncle, I got into high school. I came to tell you that.
- Sorry. - About what?
I'm closing the shop.
Huh? What's that?
You said you'll hire me when I finish high school.
You got a new mechanic, right?
He's not a mechanic.
There's something I have to do with him.
So this shop... I'm sorry.
Why? What's going on?
Sorry.
I'm becoming a tiger with Takaoka-san.
A tiger? Don't be ridiculous!
I decided to go to high school to revive the shop with my uncle.
But...
Sorry.
Sorry, sorry... That's all you can say?
Idiot! Idiot! Idiot!
I didn't understand what you meant back then.
That you, Naoto-san, would become Tiger Mask.
No, I've yet to become a real tiger.
We don't know what today's opponent will do. Be careful.
I know.
In the end...
It's up to this.
That, I won't lose for sure.
That's the spirit.
See you.
Tiger Mask vs. Red Death Mask
The second match? Me?
What's the problem?
Tiger Mask gets a semi-final. And I'm an opening act?
Well, that's NJPW's assessment of you.
In the ring now… GWM presents
Tiger the Dark vs. Kevin Anderson.
Kevin attempts a throw from a sleeper position.
But Tiger the Dark doesn't let go. Same position after a full turn.
Coming from the same group, can they read each other's moves?
Tiger the Dark grabs Kevin by the hair and pulls him up!
This is...
1...
2...
3!
He nailed it! Tiger the Dark's Darkness Driver!
Kevin, you okay?
What a shame that your bout is a second match.
Today's semi-final.
In the blue corner, here comes Tiger Mask!
We've been waiting for you, Tiger Mask!
Tiger!
In the red corner, here comes Red Death Mask!
Huh? Red Death Mask is nowhere in sight.
Commentator Nagata-san, what does this mean?
No clue.
Nagata-san!
Hey! Go ask what's going on!
Yes, sir.
Ah!
Stop! The bell hasn't gone off yet.
Stop! Stop!
Stop it now!
Nagata goes in to stop him!
But he's thrown out of the ring!
Crashed right into a corner post!
The match's opening bell now!
A powerful kick sends Tiger Mask outside the ring!
No...
The screams are yet to come.
And now Red Death Claw!
Get in the ring!
And he drags Tiger Mask by the face back into the ring!
What's his next move?
Tiger Mask crashes into a corner post for the second time today!
Tiger Mask is bleeding!
I told you,
we'll put a mask of red death on you, too.
Red Death Claw again!
Tiger Mask barely avoiding it!
A stomach claw now!
That's harsh!
You give up?
No!
Tiger Mask counters with an armbar!
Rope break!
Fight!
Red Death Mask, is his right hand crushed?
No more claw now. An opening for Tiger Mask!
Red Death Mask goes in for Red Death Claw with his left hand.
Can he do it with either hand?
It was his fate ever since he claimed the name "Tiger Mask".
Did you see the land of red death?
He smashed him onto the ring!
His killer move Red Death Drop.
1...
2...
Got up just in time!
In position for another Red Death Drop!
I'll let you see the true land of red death this time.
Tiger!
A spinning jump kick!
Get off the rope!
Tiger Mask!
Get up, Red Death Mask.
Defeat is inexcusable.
1...
2...
3!
It's over!
Yay!
No way... Red Death Mask... can't lose!
Tiger Mask turned it around and wins!
What do you say, Nagata-san?
So strong. His strength is real.
Monopoly!
Next...
Who's next?
You want to hasten your death?
GWM will get a wrestler who'll beat you for certain.
Wait until then.

Tiger Mask W
A battle royal. A tiger roars on the NJPW mat.
Wait, who's that?
Tiger Mask W, "The Mystery of Fukuwara Mask".
Who's the ultimate tiger, you or me?
