Hello? Takaoka here.
How've you been, Haruna?
Milk's here, too.
Milk-san!
They liked our last Wrestle Max match,
so we got a rematch.
We just signed a contract with GWM.
So wanna come watch us?
I'll go for sure!
Then we'll get you a pass issued as our staff.
Great, thank you!
So our research last time paid off.
Yes.
We announced the rematch of the Japan-US diva match.
And the ticket sales grew.
The weak challenge the strong.
The Japanese like such showdowns.
Spring Tiger is Born
A tigress?
For female pro wrestling fans.
Wear it and cheer for Tiger.
Women come watch pro wrestling nowadays?
Sure, they're called "pu-joshi" girls.
"Pu-joshi," eh?
What are you doing with the sales profit?
Huh? Oh, gotta go to a meeting on the merchandise.
Then go catch a match at Max Dome!
Tiger Mask-kun.
Gotten used to the tour?
Yes, the bus is big and comfortable.
Then join the next series, too!
Well...
That has to go through Haruna-chan.
- Huh? - Oh?
Wakamatsu.
Tiger, it's for you.
Haruna-chan's clairvoyant.
Perfect timing for new stock.
I'll bring it to Sales.
Thanks.
Oh?
It's a care package for you, Tiger.
She's so thoughtful.
Haruna-chan will make a great wife.
"Call me or else!"
Scary!
She's got you whipped.
Wrestle Max!
Battle Mission is on today!
Witness the great fights of the GWM super stars!
A Japan-US Diva Tag rematch!
Candy Pair joins the fray!
Thank you.
Oh hey, Takaoka-san.
Kuruma-san.
Here for?
To cheer for Candy Pair.
I see. I'm here to report on their match.
Aren't they great?
Yes!
Mint-san! Milk-san!
Oh?
I came to watch.
Haruna.
Welcome.
Great that you got a rematch!
Sort of.
But no time to dwell on that.
We couldn't show our strengths at our last match.
So today we'll fight in our style.
That'll lead us to our victory.
That's right.
The winner is
Candy Pair!
Yeah.
Milk?
Milk!
Milk-san!
Get the doctor!
Milk...
Will she be okay?
The doctor suspects appendicitis.
Wrestle Max!
Battle Mission, start!
The opening match,
Alec Meyer vs. Fukuwara Mask!
Sorry it's so last minute.
Bye.
Any other wrestler you can call?
Even if I did,
no time to...
A change in this card hurts.
Damages audience satisfaction.
It'll impact GWM's reputation.
Um...
I'll do it.
You'll go in the ring?
Yes.
W-Wait Haruna...
Hm...
It'll be an ad hoc pairing, but the audience wants a Japanese team.
Why not?
But she's an amateur!
Then, will you pay the penalty?
If so, we've no complaints.
Uh...
It's settled then.
We don't have time. Get ready for the match.
A perfect opportunity.
That annoying brat, so insolent from the start.
She was getting under my skin.
Haruna, I appreciate it, but it's outrageous.
It's fine. Just lend me the costume.
Huh? What's that?
It's from using Tiger Mask's training equipment.
May I?
Sure.
Jeez, you're so ripped.
Will it work?
Yeah, looks good.
Really?
It's so frilly...
Pro Wrestling World Monthly
W-What the...
What's this?
Oh no!
Ah...
Oh!
A change of cards by both teams for the next semi-final.
Mint-san.
Mint will do.
But...
You and I are tag partners.
Try it.
Mi-Mint...
Louder.
Mint!
Okay, let's go!
First up, in the blue corner,
Mint and...
Spring Tiger! Here they come!
Tiger Mask's younger sister?
How is it in the ring?
Smaller than I imagined.
That's the spirit.
Next, in the red corner,
here come Queen and X Woman!
X Woman?
Not Payne?
Oh! X Woman is...
Miss X?
Milk was taken to the hospital before the match due to medical reasons.
Joining in her place is
Spring Tiger!
Here I am.
Fukuwara Mask here, on last minute duty.
I can understand Spring Tiger as a reserve,
but why is your boss up there instead of Payne?
Max Dome's boss fighting in the ring!
An ultimate surprise! How exciting!
Is it?
Why are you in the ring?
I considered the team's balance.
Wearing a mask, huh? That's clever thinking.
Sparing yourself from ridicule?
Why do you think we'll lose?
Spring Tiger and X Woman,
heating up before the match!
Japan-US Diva Tag.
A 30 min. one-game tag team match.
In the blue corner, Team Japan.
Mint and Spring Tiger.
In the red corner, Team America.
Queen and X Woman.
I'll put her in her place.
Yeah, make that amateur sweat.
Miss X, she is an amateur.
That lame brat... I'll sink her into the mat.
First up are X Woman and Spring Tiger!
No data on them.
What kind of battle will they show?
Rather, can they actually wrestle?
Fight!
Lock up!
They're a good match in power!
So strong!
How?
Take this!
Wow...
She's...
What's going on?
She's no novice.
They both switch with their partners.
Queen!
Headlock!
Keeps tightening! Tightening! And tightening!
Bridging backdrop!
So Queen excels in power!
Come on.
Queen.
Touch out.
They clash yet again!
The boss's word is a must.
She nails a figure-eight!
Give up?
No!
Where's your usual high spirit, little miss agent?
Don... Don't mock me!
Break!
You...
Now Spring Tiger's Indian deathlock!
It'll kill her legs.
And now...
A reverse Indian deathlock!
Rope...
Break!
Spring Tiger's being quite old school.
Fukuwara Mask, what do you mean?
Legs first, then arms.
An old style focusing on certain parts at a time.
That's true, Spring Tiger is
focusing her attacks on the legs!
This is...
Scorpion deathlock!
In position for a sharpshooter!
Counters with an ankle hold!
In for the legs again?
Queen cuts in!
Referee!
Stand back!
Did X Woman slip on sweat?
No, her legs are surely giving way.
No way...
X Woman! A barrage of elbows!
Into a German suplex hold!
A dangerous angle!
1...
Spring Tiger!
2...
Is it game over?
The bridge falls!
Thr...
Spring Tiger's leg attacks until now
got to her legs.
Oh no!
She continues grilling her legs.
Indian deathlock again!
Into another reverse Indian deathlock!
Give up?
N-No...
X Woman's legs are about to shatter with the pinpoint attacks so far!
A little more to the rope.
Two more centimeters!
It's a bow and arrow!
Gone is the rope of hope!
Who'd have thought there was more?
Squeeze it!
Won't let you!
The rightful fighters now are X Woman and Mint!
La Magistral!
1...
2...
3!
Shit!
The winner is Team Japan!
Mint and Spring Tiger!
Exciting!
After such a great match,
it'll be tough for the main wrestlers to compete.
Yeah, I can picture the long faces of the wrestlers backstage.
Hm...
Triumph of the old style, pinpoint attack wrestling.
Amazing.
Chief, give me a page. There's a super new star!

Watch out, Tanahashi!

2...
3!
Ends with a High Fly Flow!
The winner is Team Tanahashi and Tiger Mask!
I love you!
Milk-san's appendectomy
went smoothly.
Good.
Excuse me, then.
I'm glad the surgery went well.
Yeah.
But...
What'll I say when I get home?
Be proud. You earned it.
Ouch!
Oh, sorry...
I-I'm fine.
Tiger
Hm?
Hello?
There you are.
Huh?
I called, but you didn't pick up.
Well, I had stuff to do.
I got the merchandise.
I see.
Okay.
That's great.
