In the white mat jungle
Ravaged yet again by a storm today

Deliver the fist of justice on the unruly villains

Go, go, Tiger
Tiger Mask!
A tiger, a tiger

Go, go, Tiger

Tiger Mask!
Emergency Medical Center
The chest wound is minor,
but left knee joint ruptured,
right ankle damaged, spinal contusion,
left shoulder dislocated.
They'll do another brain scan.
It's unclear if he'll recover.
That's...
It's Tiger Mask...
Had Tiger Mask not injured him...
he could've beaten The Third!
Tiger the Dark was injured in the War Game?
And yet went on the ring?
It's Tiger Mask's fault!
The Mysterious Miracle 1
Deadly Match The Third Defends Title
Tiger the Dark Utterly Defeated
It's surprising Daisuke Fujii's son
became a Tiger's Den wrestler...
He probably infiltrated the enemy to beat Yellow Devil.
As in the saying, "nothing ventured, nothing gained."
I had no idea that The Third was Yellow Devil.
Had I known...
No, before that, had I realized that Tiger the Dark was Takuma...
He didn't notice who you were either.
Don't regret. Look ahead.
I can't see anything ahead.
The Third...
I thought Takuma might know something,
but I'm not sure if he'd see me.
About that, wait for Haruna's report.
Haruna-chan?
GWM called her in about the contract and stuff.
Meanwhile, we'll train at Mt. Fuji.
Takaoka-san, same old you.
GWM News!
The War Game in Japan presented by GWM ended in great success!
In the GWM World Heavyweight Championship
The Third defended his title!
The challenger Tiger the Dark was injured in the match!
Unfortunately he's on extended leave!
Our contract requires one more match from Tiger Mask.
Then he'll be free of our control.
Could you arrange a title match between Tiger Mask and The Third?
With our champion?
He already left for the US.
Besides, Tiger Mask lacks qualifications.
He'd at least need to be a IWGP-class wrestler.
Our Tiger holds the title of your Masked World Tournament.
Or join us and build himself a name.
Should I draw up a contract?
No.
How are Tiger the Dark's injuries?
Who knows.
Who knows?
The hospital's attending to him.
Anyway, see you at the next match. The main of a big show.
But this day is...
the same day as NJPW's final match again.
Come on, ours is a matinee.
Matinee?
Our show's from noon. NJPW is from 3 pm.
Tiger Mask can do double duty if he wants.
If he can still move after fighting in our match.
The match with The Third. Please think about it.
Café
Oh... Ruriko-san.
Hi, Haruna-san. Here for work?
Yes.
What's wrong? You seem down.
I just can't get over it.
I knew business came first at our company,
but I didn't expect it to be this cold.
You mean Tiger the Dark?
I'm GWM's medical staff, but was told I don't need to care for him.
The company will pay for his expenses.
But...
I'm partially responsible for his injuries.
But that happened on the ring.
I should've stopped him.
How is Tiger Mask?
Our Tiger is in good shape,
but he's feeling down about some things.
I see.
But he'll be in the next show?
I just signed the contract for it.
I'll psych him up when I get back.
How nice.
What is?
That you can be by his side.
They stole all the spotlight.
NJPW wrestlers storm in and claim the GWM ring...
was the plan.
I wanted to fight The Third, but I didn't even get a chance.
Not even one mention of me!
Damn it, same here!
Monopoly continues to expand its reign here in Japan.
We can't just do nothing,
so we're bringing in a foreign wrestler.
Miracle 1, a young talent from Canada.
A masked man?
Yeah.
Hopefully useful in high profile matches.
And Tiger Mask-kun.
Let's ask Tiger Mask-kun to join our next series.
Let me call if we're making Tiger an offer.
What? You're interested in being a promoter?
No, it's just that I have his agent's number.
Ah, I get it.
You want a reason to call that lady agent.
No, Okada-san. It's nothing like that.
No? Then I won't ask you.
Huh? What do you mean?
I'll leave it to you if you want to call that girl.
Ah... Well...
I want to.
Okay, deal. But call her now.
What?! But that's...
This is business.
I need to check what you say.
Come on, call her.
Do it! Call!
Uh...
Yes, Takaoka here.
It's Wakamatsu of NJPW.
I'm calling to talk business.
Listen,
quit acting like Nagata-san and give me the usual line.
The usual?
I'm not feeling like going straight home today.
T-Then Haruna-chan, wanna go eat?
Korean BBQ!
Okay!
There's a place in Roppongi I often go to. I'll send you directions.
Then see you in an hour.
Alright!
Way to go!
I did it!
Is it the place you go with me? It's quite pricey.
Guzzles your money like water.
It'll be fine. She's just a girl.
If I watch my appetite, not a problem!
Don't forget to talk about business.
Yes, sir!
Korean BBQ Gyuteian
Hey, Haruna-chan!
Wow... This place looks expensive.
I thought it'd be shabbier.
It's one of our champion's favorites.
There's no way it can be shabby.
Great. They'll be happy, too.
They?
Haruna!
Long time no see, Wakamatsu-san.
We met at Fukuwara Mask's event. We're the Candy Pair.
Yeah, I know. I remember.
But why?
Thanks for your treat.
Huh?
Come on, let's go. Go in.
Wakamatsu-san, what'll you have?
Huh?
Two large glasses of draft beer.
Haruna?
I'm still a minor, so...
A large jug of Oolong tea, please!
Let's see...
All the meat on this page times five.
How did you just order?
Oh, not enough? Then times ten?
No, it's fine...
Thank you so much.
And one of each salad, please.
Specialty plate.
How many should we order?
Two dishes should do.
There's four of us, so 8 dishes in total.
Uh...
Ready?
Come on.
What's the matter? Not feeling well?
No...
Don't want you injured.
Let's stick to basic training.
I'm fine.
Squats.
So here's Tiger Mask's schedule from next week.
First, you'll join NJPW's new series.
But the final match... Since you have to join Monopoly's match,
you'll skip NJPW's final match.
Take your complaints to Miss X.
And the match with The Third?
They turned it down.
They say you don't have sufficient qualifications to challenge a GWM champion.
Qualifications?
Qualifications? Tiger Mask has beaten a number of Tiger's Den wrestlers.
Again, take your complaints to Miss X.
They won't accept unless you're an IWGP champion class wrestler.
That aside, you seem recharged.
You weren't that spirited when you left this morning.
It might be the meat I had...
Yep, meat sure is a source of energy.
Okay, we'll have Korean BBQ tonight.
Give me a break.
Did they say anything about Tiger the Dark?
Hm... Not really.
I see...
If you want to know, go see him.
Yeah... In due time.
Okay, Korean BBQ then. Let's go eat.
Can we settle for deep fried pork?

Tiger Mask goods!
Care for one?
Tiger goods here! Oh!
Wakamatsu-san, thanks for the other day.
Haruna-chan.
Yes?
Next time, how about just you and me?
I'll think about it when I get irritated again.
I'll be waiting.
Would you like Tiger Mask goods?
Canadian Standard Wrestling, CSW.
I debuted 3 years ago.
I was the CSW World Heavyweight Champion,
but I lost last month.
Date of birth?
Secret.
Pre-debut career?
Top secret.
Your killer move?
Miracle Rana and...
attacking the hearts of beauties.
Killer move is "heart attack."
No...
Rumor has it you're a jolly highflier, and you sure are jolly.
But how much of a highflier?
In the blue corner, 90 kg,
Gedo!
In the red corner, 98 kg,
Miracle 1!
A first-timer in Japan.
A masked man from Canada, Miracle 1!
What kind of fight will he show against Gedo?
A dropkick at a high point.
Gedo escapes from the ring.
And now Miracle 1 goes for a dive!
A topé suicida like an arrow! At high speed!
No!
A groin punch out of the blue!
Gedo pushes Miracle 1 back on the ring and gets up on a corner post!
Superfly!
He nails it!
Moves into a fall!
1...
2...
Count 2.5.
Miracle 1 is not done yet. He gets up, he can't end here!
Looks like a good fighter.
Yes. He's responding to Gedo-san's rough play and techniques.
The fans seem to like him.
Nagata-san.
Yes?
How can I qualify for IWGP?
You, Tiger Mask-kun?
In the singles?
If that's the case, you need to build up more qualifications.
Qualifications?
Yeah.
Join the G1 and do well.
Get a tag title and defend the title as much as you can.
So I've a long way to go?
Nah, I'm talking about our organization.
If you get another organization's title...
For example, if you win the GWM World Heavyweight Championship,
we can do a double title match.
This is going in circles.
He nailed it!
Huracan Rana!
1...
2...
3!
Miracle 1 marks a win for his first match in Japan!
As talented as rumor had it!
Miracle 1!
Number one!
See you at the main event.
Okay.
Today's main event,
a single 60-min. tag match!
Tiger the Dark
is out of the ICU.
And has been moved to physical therapy.
I see.
No prospect for a comeback.
Our domination of Japan may be completed before he comes back.
Nice view, isn't it?
But then again, you've been here before.
With pudding.
Dad.
Huh?
I...
I couldn't beat Yellow Devil.
Takuma...
I...
I even joined the enemy to beat him.
But I...
Then how will you beat me? A weakling like you?
So what will you do? Become a tiger? Or stay an underdog?
Your call.
Sorry...
It's okay, Takuma.
It's okay.
You did your best.
Sorry...

Tiger goods here!
Haruna-chan!
Yes?
I got a big assignment today!
A single match against Miracle 1!
Wow...
If I win, let's go eat, just the two of us, okay?
Hm... Let me see...
I'll win for sure, so look forward to it.
Look forward, huh...
Would you like Tiger Mask goods?
The midpoint of the NJPW Stronger Series!
Today's third match, Ryu Wakamatsu vs.
Miracle 1.
First,
here comes Ryu Wakamatsu.
Miracle 1 seems quite popular.
He's going to get more popular.
Alright!
In the blue corner, 95 kg,
Ryu Wakamatsu!
Shit! New Japan!
I'm number one! Miracle 1!
But what's this?
Why an undercard and a green boy like him?
What?!
I was a CSW champion!
Oh! Before his name is called out...
The match has started!
He's not a jolly highflier, but a grumpy rough fighter.
He's unhappy with his treatment.
Because of his title?
Oh...
A text from Monopoly.
Tiger, they have your next opponent.
King Tiger, a master of martial arts?
Hm?
No, no, Miracle 1. That's a foul.
Shut up!
Come on!
Miracle 2!
Another Miracle 1 appears on the ring!
Oh! A different mark on his chest!
It's a two! That's Miracle 2!
Miracle 2 enters the ring!
And lifts Wakamatsu on his shoulders!
Oh! Now Miracle 1 gets on a corner post!
Miracle Rana!
- 1... 1... - 2... 2...
Wakamatsu-san!
Wakamatsu!
I'll kill you!
Hey!
Ryu.
Ryu Wakamatsu wins in 3 min. 48 sec. due to his opponent's foul.
I'm Miracle 1.
He's Miracle 2.
Don't think this is the end.
We'll keep multiplying!
