It's that time again folks, Tokyo Princess Cup begins on Saturday! Taking place over 7 shows in a month's span, this tournament will decide the next challenger to Shoko's belt, most likely at Wrestle Princess III. Defending trophy holder Maki Itoh is not participating, and usual winner Mizuki is in the quadrant of death with Shoko and Miu so anything could happen. First three shows are on consecutive days, so no doubt we'll see the return of some legacy outfits as the ladies ignore the ever increasing pile of laundry. One thing is for sure. It's Mahiro Kiryu's year, I can feel it

Top Left Quadrant
(1) Shoko Nakajima (PoP Champ) vs (2) Haruna Neko
- Winner faces (3) Mizuki
(4) Arisu Endo vs (5) Miu Watanabe

Bottom Left Quadrant
(6) Miyu Yamashita vs (7) Hyper Misao
- Winner faces (8) Raku
(9) Nao Kakuta vs (10) Yuki Aino

Top Right Quadrant
(11) Mahiro Kiryu vs (12) Yuki Arai (Princess Tag Champ)
- Winner faces (13) Hikari Noa
(14) Kaya Toribami vs (15) Yuka Sakazaki

Bottom Right Quadrant
(16) Pom Harajuku vs (17) Moka Miyamoto
- Winner faces (18) Suzume
(19) Kamiyu vs (20) Rika Tatsumi

Once the winner of each quadrant is finalised, the seedings will be randomised for the semi finals. Last year I don't think it changed anything, but this year could be a whole other story. Who are your semi finalists? Who will win the whole thing? Will you applaud when Miyu's tournament luck causes her to lose to Raku?

Here is my almost certainly wrong bracket, didn't notice until I uploaded it that I didn't revert Suzume as my dark horse pick to make it though, even though I have Rika on the other half of the break.

Semis are Miu over Rika, Yuka over Miyu
Finals Miu over Yuka

I didn't even look at this when I made my prediction. I am glad we have the same finals

this would be good but have you considered her winning it for the third time and failing to win the PoP again?

Miu defeats Mizuki

Nao defeats Raku

I'd assume Miu takes it all.
(Miu def. Suzume, Yuka def. Nao, Miu def. Yuka)

(I'm soooo wrong...)

Senerio I appreciate you picking Mahiro to win a match, but Jesus it is tripping me up that you've used two different colours for Miu on either side of the shuffle.

Pinwiz has the best prediction, not only will we get to hear Nao's rad theme more but maybe they'll finally elevate BEE

Anyways, show starts in 80 minutes so be here or be a lame-o

maybe something like this? i'm not gonna predict the shuffle, but I think Mizuki wins the whole thing



Kamiyu will not make it out of the first round because of her affiliation with Mahiro
