Miracle 1 nails it!
GWM vs. NJPW!
GWM wins yet again tonight!
Forget "yet again."
Overall, it's even.
Ow...
The fight for survival between GWM and NJPW,
Final Wars!
The next confrontation will be the final showdown.
Now! From Miss X! Announcing the final showdown!
The final showdown is a 5 vs. 5 team match.
It'll be an all-out war.
So New Japan Pro-Wrestling!
What sort of members will the five be?
Grand Melee
Here are the rules from Monopoly.
It's 5 vs. 5, but not all single matches.
It's a lineup of matches of single, tag, six-men, tag, and single.
The team with more victories wins.
Only 5 wrestlers per team, right?
There aren't enough for all the matches.
Like team matches in tennis and table tennis,
the five take turns.
Then the order will be the key.
We'll determine who'll be in which match on the day of each match.
But we must give five names to the press.
Nagata-san, I want to fight Monopoly wrestlers.
Please include me.
That's why we called you, Tiger Mask-kun.
Oh! Then...
You'll fight on our side?
Yes, sir!
Let's do this, Tiger.
You're a great asset.
We just can't afford to lose this war.
Huh? Wait a sec, Nagata-san.
We're only four including Tiger.
Who's the last one?
It better not be you, Nagata-san.
"Better not?"
Ow...
You're out on injury.
You've got that right.
Sadly, I can't get in the ring.
So I'll be the coach.
Then is it...
It's Naito.
Wha...
I'll call Naito back from Mexico.
What about me?
Be the second.
Right...
Final Wars!
Let me introduce the 5 GWM wrestlers.
Miracle 1!
Miracle 2!
Tiger the Black!
Big Tiger the Second!
And the GWM World Heavyweight Champion,
Tiger the Great the Third!
From New Japan Pro-Wrestling,
Tiger Mask!
Tiger Mask?
But he's not NJPW.
They're that serious.
Togi Makabe!
Hiroshi Tanahashi!
Tetsuya Naito!
And the IWGP Heavyweight Champion,
Kazuchika Okada!
They're both bringing their champions.
Going all out for sure.
Final...
Wars!
We'll show you unparalleled pro wrestling!
Sounds great.
This is exciting.
We've heard Naito's fighting in Mexico.
I've told him to return.
The future of NJPW is on the line in Final Wars.
I bet he will help out.
I sure hope so.
GWM wants you fighting at full strength.
So what's your plan?
About what?
How are you gonna fight The Third in Final Wars?
Don't know.
If that's the case,
I'll take on The Third one day.
Let's go.
Got the hang of it?
Sure.
Oh!
We're back.
Welcome back.
Man, I'm beat.
What's that?
It was the same as usual.
Well...
Having a practice partner makes a difference.
How's Takuma-san doing?
Getting better.
Maybe he can be in a match soon.
So you should worry about his overworking, right?
Ruriko-san's keeping an eye on that.
Ruriko-san is? But why?
Why? She drives Takuma there and back.
Ruriko-san goes to the place at Mt. Fuji?
Just a driver. Doesn't come in.
When I'm not even allowed that?
She's Takuma Fujii's nurse.
And I'm Tiger Mask's agent.
Yet I'm not allowed there.
But Ruriko-san is?
I told you, she doesn't come in.
If so, I'll go, too!
That's pointless!
I'll go!
You can't!
But I will!
Takuma-san,
you may leave the hospital since there's no problem at a daily level.
I've no place to go.
Let me stay until I decide where to go.
Alright.
Oh?
Yes, I smell a scoop.
Leave a page open, chief.
That mini van...
Hello Haruna-san, thanks for your help.
Hi.
But what do you mean?
It seems Takuma-san pressed for this, knowing it's not that simple.
That's between him and Uncle.
I see.
It's so nice here. Very peaceful.
Sure.
So this is it.
Hey.
Yes?
Takuma Fujii-san...
Is he your boyfriend?
No, it's nothing like that.
I'm working with him as a physiotherapist.
Even leaving Monopoly?
I had issues with them.
Haruna-san.
What?
Could it be... Haruna-san, do you...
What?
Do you like Takuma-san?
Huh?
Why'd you think that?
You don't?
I don't.
I see. That's good to hear.
"Good?"
Excuse me...
What is this place?
Kuruma-san? Why are you here?
I happened to see you, so I tailed you.
Oh no...
What's inside?
Kuruma-san, this is private property.
You can't just enter.
Is this Tiger Mask's secret practice ground?
Is Tiger the Dark here, too?
Kuruma-san, please leave!
Yamashina-san!
Is Tiger the Dark...
I'll drive you to your car.
So leave!
Private Property No Trespassing
Too bad...
Oh dear... What am I doing?
Finally, It's tomorrow.
The final showdown.
Here's the match roster.
First match, single, Makabe.
The opener? Sweet.
Second match, tag match, Tanahashi and Naito.
Okay.
Third match, six-men,
Okada, Makabe, and Tiger.
Yes, sir.
Fourth match, tag match, Tanahashi and Naito again.
And fifth match, single, Okada.
Leave it to me.
Nagata-san, I only have one match.
Please use me more.
I appreciate it, Tiger Mask-kun,
but this is between NJPW and Monopoly.
We can't just depend on outsiders.
I see, understood.
Nagata-san, I've no objection to the two tag team matches,
but why is my partner, Naito, not here?
Truth is...
Yes?
We don't know where he is.
Huh?
Are you serious?
We know he left Mexico.
He told us so.
However, we don't know if he's still in the air, when he'll arrive,
or if he's already here.
Not a word from him.
That punk can't be serious!
He'll probably just show up tomorrow
and be like, "Calm down, man."
Ow...
Hey, Haruna-chan. You came, too?
Yeah, for the staff pass and complimentary tickets.
Wanna go grab a bite?
When the showdown is tomorrow?
You must be busy, Wakamatsu-san.
Well yeah.
I wasn't selected as one of the five,
but I know that's because I'm inexperienced.
I'm planning to become the IWGP champion in the future.
Want to get first dibs, Haruna-chan?
Dibs?
Yeah.
Go out with me, Haruna-chan.
Huh?
Ever since I met you, Haruna-chan,
I've...
thought you were so nice.
Wakamatsu-san, you don't know me well.
I'm actually very boorish.
I appear decent because of my strict uncle.
No you're decent, Haruna-chan.
You don't have to answer now.
Sorry, Wakamatsu-san, I...
I like someone else.
Tiger Mask?
What? Well, um, uh...
I knew it.
Is the guy under that mask a better guy than me?
Ah... Well, that's...
At least tell me that.
Sorry, he's a better man than you.
Then it can't be helped.
The meeting's over, Haruna-chan.
Tiger.
What, Wakamatsu?
You have my blessing.
Blessing?
Hey, Wakamatsu-san...
Well, see you tomorrow.
What?
Perhaps he's frustrated that he's not in a match?
The third match. Six-men tag.
I'm only in that one.
The question is, will The Third be in it?
Probably not.
Naoto-san.
Yes?
How do you feel about Ruriko-san?
What?
What do you mean by that?
What?
Would a nurse do all that for a patient? To that degree?
Doesn't it bother you?
Not really.
Really?
Yeah.
So what happened to your new killer move?
Got it.
What?
I completed it with Takuma's advice.
Whether I use it or not depends on tomorrow's opponent.
I wanna see it!
If I'm fighting The Third, I'll slam it in him.
Wrestle Max! Final Wars!
Today is the final showdown!
This is the real finale!
Don't miss the fierce battle!
All tickets are sold out.
So it's up to how much we'll get from pay per view.
The entire world is watching.
Miss X.
Today's matches are entirely in your hands.
Yes, sir. Leave it to me.
But if there is a hitch,
remember that I'll step in and take charge.
If there's a hitch?
If GWM is at the brink of losing.
That won't happen.
It's more likely to be an one-sided game.
That's too bad for the NJPW fans.
It's time.
I feel a bit uncomfortable.
Yeah.
Since we've both taken parting shots when leaving GWM.
My resignation letter was officially accepted.
My situation is the same as having my contract expire.
To begin with, it's your fault that I resigned.
I never asked.
Yes, you did!
That's right, Takuma. How dare you say that.
Right? He's so mean, right, Fujii-san?
Yeah, he's horrible.
Damn...
Takuma-san's always like this.
Come on, Takuma.
This is bad, we're in trouble.
What is it at this timing?
Naito's not here!
- What? - Why?
It's crazy.
Not a word from him.
We know he's left Mexico.
He told us so.
However, we don't know if he's still in the air, when he'll arrive,
or if he's already here.
Not a word from him.
Nagata-san, that's what you said yesterday.
Ow... It's almost time for the opening ceremony.
We need all 5 members who'll fight.
Is there something we can do until Naito arrives?
Fine, I'll have to resort to the usual pro wrestling tactic.
Esteemed guests and those watching on TV across the globe,
we hereby open Final Wars!
Final Wars!
Superstars of both organizations are here!
But wait...
There are only four from NJPW.
They're missing one!
Tetsuya Naito was on the roster, but what happened?
Explain yourself.
The fifth fighter of NJPW is
a mystery wrestler X!
His true identity will be revealed when he appears!
Ow...
Someone running late?
No!
Do as you please.
You're only hurting yourself.
OK. Please wait a while for the first match.
Fighters out!
Lend me your staff pass.
Huh?
The final showdown is a total of 5 matches.
The team with 3 victories first wins.
The losing team will suffer major damage.
They'll be stripped of all belts.
Can't have belt or title matches then.
No, we'll have belt matches.
In the way we want, among our wrestlers.
Mister X! It sounds like a victory claim!
The bigger damage is the fact of defeat.
The entire world will have the impression that you're weaker.
Is that Monopoly's global strategy?
The strong win. That's all.
Final Wars, first match. Single match.
No time limit. One-game match.
All matches have no time limit and are one-game matches.
Who will each team select as their opener?
From the NJPW side is Togi Makabe!
From the GWM side is Tiger the Black!
The first match is between these two!
Tiger Mask.
You're one short. An accident?
Naito-san hasn't arrived.
I see.
Fight!
Starting with Black Crush!
Makabe is blasted to the ropes!
They both fall off the ring!
1...
2...
3...
4...
5...
6...
7...
8...
9...
Oh! Makabe dodges the Black Crush!
Tiger the Black crashes into the steel post!
- Come on. - 13...
14...
The referee's count progresses.
Are they too worked up to notice?
They're both out of control.
17...
18...
19...
20!
2 min. 10 sec. Both fighters ring out. Draw.
Oh no!
The first match ends in a draw!
A great melee from the first match!
What if we don't have a winner after 5 matches?
An extra single match.
We'll get a winner in the sixth match.
How dare you!
Be in the second match! I'll end you!
Come on!
So the second match, Nagata-san?
Where's Naito?
Not here yet.
Ow...
No choice. Change the order.
Tiger the Black... I didn't think he was that hot-blooded.
What now, Miss X?
Change the order.
I'll have Tiger the Black disciplined.
Neither Togi Makabe nor Tiger the Black is leaving the ring.
It seems they'll be in the second match.
This is probably an unexpected change of order for both teams?
Indeed.
Final Wars, second match. Tag team match.
The NJPW side is going to use their champion Kazuchika Okada!
Oh! The GWM side is also using their champion!
The GWM World Heavyweight Champion,
Tiger the Great the Third!
The Third!
Already?
So he probably won't be in the next six-men tag match.
The Third...
Angels and demons intertwined by fate

An injured Tiger doesn't stop.
Wait for me.
I'll tear your throat out.
