Thanks for the video links. I'm hoping that more videos can be released by tjpw so that the content creator can add more stuff to the Kanna video that they couldn't put in the first time.
He has done such an outstanding job with the script that I’d pay some kinda patreon for him to put out one Joshi video a month, regardless of promotion. It’s so well researched and he lets moments speak for themselves, the way he lays out videos makes me feel like I’m right there with the girls experiencing the same things they are.

I didn’t watch the Kanna video until today and I have barely passing knowledge of her but his video made me an instant fan

I thought maybe they had quietly dropped the TCS angle but they said that match is now taking place on 9/28 in Korakuen Hall.

Still very interested to see where they go with that.

This is coming off the heels of Manase leaving too, so I wonder what's causing these girls to leave? The three of them felt more like guests to the promotion rather than core roster so I wonder if something of an amicable split where they're not good enough to be TJPW aces, but they've got much higher ceilings that the promotion can offer them.

Natsumi is the one I'm most interested in, she has a lot of really raw talent and if she had a good mentor she could be one of the best, but she didn't quite click well against anyone in TJPW. I wouldn't sleep on Mina either, she looks like an international model but works her rear end off to improve in the ring and the most surprising thing when I started following TJPW was that her instagram wasn't full of gravure thirst trap shots, she was just a big nerd building Gundam models and giving them custom paint schemes based on her gear and an infinity for free-style rapping

Another random thought, this leave Kamiyu on her own because both of her best friends left the promotion, and Maki Itoh is her only real-life friend left in the promotion, even though they haven't really interacted in stories that much. Mina's exit feud was with Kamiyu being jealous of her getting more opportunities and Mina slapped her down by saying it was because she worked harder and earned her spot. I could see Kamiyu being torn between joining the Itoh Respect Army or Saki's Biishiki-gun

Kamiyu has something going with Mahiro at the moment that I'm interested to see more of.


Hikari has already declared that her tag team with Natsumi is simply "on a break" and Haku-san made it sound like they could still come in once in a while and are just not going to be regulars anymore.

Mina rules. I noticed whenever I took photos at TJPW shows and put them up on Twitter, Mina would hit like on the ones where she looked cool but retweet the ones where she was getting stomped in the gut and/or making a stupid wrestling face.

Cat's Pye was one of my favorites because Manase already had one of the greatest buttrock wrestling themes of all time but it was made better by Mina ad-libbing rap lyrics over it and making the other two come along for the ride, every time they did it they seemed like they were having the time of their lives.

For prosperity, here's Manase's absolute banger buttrock theme

I don't know if there was a company directive or if it was totally natural but most members on the TJPW roster absolutely love interacting with fans on Twitter and Instagram and it never felt forced

Let's do some 5*GP math now that we're down to one last show

Red:
Himeka - 9 (beat Tam)
Mayu - 8 (beat Himeka)
Tam - 8 (beat Konami)
Konami - 8 (beat Mayu)
Giulia - 6
DEATH - 4
Tall Saya - 3
Kid - 2

On the 19th:
Mayu vs Tam
Giulia vs DEATH
Konami vs Himeka
Kid vs Tall Saya

Himeka advances with a win or a draw and Mayu loss.
Mayu advances with a win and Himeka loss. She also advances if Himeka/Konami draw and she wins.
Tam advances with a win and Himeka loss, as she holds the tiebreaker over Konami
Konami advances with a win and Mayu win/Tam Loss or Mayu/Tam draw.

Blue:
Utami - 9
Maika - 8 (beat Utami)
Momo - 7
Syuri - 6
Kyona - 6
Tora - 6
AZM - 4
Giant Saya - 0


On the 19th:
Momo vs Kyona
Utami vs Syuri
AZM vs Maika
Giant Saya vs Tora

Looks like Utami can advance with a win or if Maika loses.
Maika advances with a win and Utami loss or draw as she holds the tiebreaker. She also advances with a draw and Utami loss.

Giant Saya would very much like to get 2 points and will probably beat Natsuko via DQ or something


I have probably overlooked something and hosed it all up!

I'm still very new to STARDOM and I haven't been following the storylines much beyond posts in this thread due to time constraints, but based on what I do know I think Tam is the likely winner of Red Block, and of the tournament. She's been a pretty central figure since they restarted, and her overcoming Ace Mayu to win the tournament after Himeka being upset (Triangle Lancer's Win Percentage IS 100% after all) and thereby overcoming the tiebreaker seems like really good booking to keep pushing this as her Breakout Moment.

Tam's also had ongoing issues with Giulia, so a final against Maika, who is Giulia's stablemate, and whom she's only fighting because Utami lost (or more likely draws) with Syuri, who is ALSO Giulia's stablemate, is also very smart overall booking which gives Tam and Giulia's next confrontation a center-stage of the company level spotlight.

TJPW just announced that Natsumi Maki's final (regular) match in TJPW will be against Hikari Noa.
