Hyper Misao is an unstoppable warrior-poet tirelessly protecting love and peace in Tokyo Joshi Pro and beyond. Toru Yano is a clown

e: Real talk, I think Hyper Misao and Rika Tatsumi are probably the two most interesting long-term characters in TJPW to me, but admittedly especially Rika is kind of hard to pick up on unless you've been following it for a while and/or understand Japanese since yeah, she's not, like, an archetype

To be fair that's just a weird romanization of "Pochi," which is literally the most normal dog name in Japan

It's more like if you named your dog Sparks and your boss decided Sparks was spelled "Sporbs." It's the same name in Japanese, Stardom just chose the weirdest possible way to write it in English in their subtitles

e: Really if you want ample evidence that Mayu is loopy, just look at the time she stood in the ring and accidentally told everyone to go see TJPW's 10/9 show instead of Stardom's, no need to drag an innocent dog into this

Her style is new but the face is the same as it was so long ago...
Rika has a hard time clicking for me also EXCEPT when dealing with Hyper Misao or Mizuki because of the history. I was way into the whole storyline of Rika vs. Misao when Misao joined NEO Biishiki-gun and I'm kind of bummed out Rika didn't defend the belt against Hyper Misao while she was champ.

I can count the number of complaints I've had about TJPW's booking on one hand with fingers to spare, but yeah, not having Rika defend the belt against Pami or drop it to Mizuki is one of them

Hyper Misao is a badly behaving super hero + DDT style weird gimmick matches. Her matches are usually some weird thing, like the match with Shoko that resulted in her going Shin Ultra was a gacha-pon bullrope match where they were linked with a rope around the wrists, and had to open up capsules to find 3(?) golden tickets to win.

The character that we’d think of as ‘ch’ can also be romanized as a ‘t’, it’s just a case of whoever did the subtitles probably not being a native English speaker and not realizing that it would look weird.

Mayu is 3/4ths of an Ibushi but she’s not quite that bad.

It would be good for the industry if women had a choice other than WWE's swandive return to the Diva era or fighting for the one designated women's match per show on AEW so I'd like this to do well. And hopefully when they start running wrestling fans will poo poo on Tessa enough that they find someone else to be the star. I imagine it'll be hard to get a decent roster together, WWE and AEW have signed up all the big names at this point.

Japanese wrestling doesn't really do squashes but this should have been a squash. World champion in a tournament match against the 17 year old winless jobber should not go 8 minutes. I skipped it

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
