[crowd clamoring]
[commentator] So much blood. So much blood!
Chigusa Nagayo is bleeding tremendously.
Dump Matsumoto's evil deeds know no bounds.
Dump is utilizing all her strength, overpowering Chigusa Nagayo.
[Kaoru grunts]
[commentator] Oh, that must have hurt. Nagayo is in pain!
[Keiko] Miss Dump!
Don't look away!
[commentator] It looks like the chain. Dump Matsumoto has brought out the chain.
As always, the chain attack is Dump Matsumoto's specialty!
We've seen it time and again and it's still shocking.
[rock music plays]
[Kaoru grunts]
[commentator] Oh, and it's digging deep into Nagayo's neck.
The chain is digging in!
[Kitamura] Referee, are you watching? You've got to stop this!
Hey! Hey, referee!
-[Abe] No, no, get back! -What the hell?!
Just look! Can't you see she has a weapon? Hey!
-[Chigusa groans] -Oh, yeah? How'd you like the chain?
How's that? [grunts]
[commentator] Dump has released the chain.
What the hell is wrong with you?
-Serves you all right! -Hey, Dump, switch out already!
-You're going too far, bitch. -[commentator] What's this?
It seems Dump Matsumoto doesn't want to switch out with Devil Masami.
Just what is going on here?
Oh, and she strikes back in an instant!
-Nagayo puts the Boston crab on Dump! -[Kaoru snarls]
[gasps] Count it!
[commentator] The referee is counting, but, ah, looks like a very slow count.
Why is he doing this? It's as if he's doing the count in slow-motion.
Oh, this really isn't acceptable.
It seems clear he's taking Dump Matsumoto's side.
The match referee today is Shiro Abe.
Nagayo is understandably furious.
-Mito Gymnasium is in total chaos. -[Toshi laughs]
Are you seeing this? [laughs]
-[Abe] I counted properly! -[Chigusa] What are you doing?
-I counted! -[Chigusa grunts]
[Kaoru laughs]
-[commentator] Oh, what's this? -[Kaoru] Here I go!
[commentator] Unbelievable! It's a fork! She stabs Nagayo in the head with a fork!
She's attacking Nagayo with a fork.
Oh, and now, the blood is gushing down Nagayo's forehead. What a blow!
This has become an extreme fight. What is happening?
We can't really say this is pro-wrestling anymore.
[dramatic music plays]
-[Kaoru growls] -That's enough, bitch!
-The hell do you want? -You're acting crazy!
-What are you doing? -Just stay outta my way!
I told you to stand back!
[Devil yells]
[Abe groans]
-Hey! Here I come! -Stop it, bitch, right now!
[Kaoru snarls]
Huh? What are you doing?
[Devil] I said stop it!
[all yell]
What the hell are you doing?
[grunts] Just get out of our way!
[tense music plays]
Hey, stop it already. Huh?
[grunts] If you want to kill her, you can do it on your own time,
but this is where we wrestle!
I don't want to be a sad little Crush sycophant like the rest of you guys.
[Devil] What did you just say, bitch? Huh?
[both grunt]
[grunting]
Looks like things are totally out of control right now.
The wrestlers are fighting their own team members!
Kuni, ring it!
Kuni! Kuni, the bell!
The bell! Ring it!
Hey! I'll do it.
-[Devil] I said knock it off! -[Abe] Ring the bell!
-What the hell? I'll kill you! -[bell rings]
[commentator] I can't believe it. The referee, Shiro Abe, requested the bell.
Ah, this will surely force a loss, though I hate to say it,
but it looks like a disqualification for the Devil Army,
which counts as a loss.
This has become quite a mess.
Oh, and now, Devil is attacking Masked Yuu,
who joined them in the ring.
And Dump is about to attack again.
She's got her chain, and is using it on Devil!
She's strangling her with the chain.
Hey! Honjo, do it! I said do it already!
[grunting]
[Kaoru] Do it! Do it now!
[Honjo grunts, yells]
[commentator] Ah, that's a blow to the top of the head!
And with that, Devil falls onto the mat.
[crowd] Go away! Go away! Go away!
[commentator] is calling for her to leave!
And now Dump Matsumoto is raging in front of the broadcast booth.
Things are totally out of control here at Mito Gymnasium today!
She's plowing through the crowd like a literal dump truck.
Confusion is engulfing the entire arena.
The space in front of us announcers is just a mess.
This has become an awful situation.
Dump Matsumoto has just made enemies of the whole venue.
She is running around, wild…
[Hiromi] Mitsuo.
[Kaoru laughs on TV]
[grunts] Hey!
[man] Please, stand back, everyone!
Hey, Dump, listen!
I can't wrestle with bitches like you.
So I'm ending our alliance!
[commentator] Holy moly! She just declared the breakup of the Devil Army!
[Honjo] Take this mask off!
[commentator] And now we'll see
how Dump Matsumoto is going to respond to this.
I can't wrestle with a dumbass like you!
[commentator] She's accepted it!
Dump Matsumoto has accepted the breakup.
Well, folks, here today at Mito Gymnasium,
the Devil Army has officially declared their breakup.
[Kaoru laughs]
-[man 1] Honjo? Isn't that Honjo? -[man 2] That was Honjo!?
[commentator] Dump Matsumoto is letting out a maniacal laugh!
-[Kaoru laughs] -[commentator] And look!
Take this back, I don't need it!
[commentator] Masked Yuu just took off her mask and threw it at Devil!
Her true identity was Yukari Honjo all along!
[both laugh]
[commentator] And now Honjo is laughing loudly, shoulder to shoulder with Dump.
This seems like a deliberate provocation.
-[Honjo laughs] -[Kaoru laughs]
[commentator] The Crush Gals are still in the ring.
Wait, we're not done yet!
[commentator] The wrestlers are in a very excited state.
With this, you could get a choice slot on TV now.
Huh?
Are you being serious, Usui?
It depends on what the higher-ups want to do,
but, you know, Dump really has the numbers.
If you let Dump start some kind of rivalry between her and Crush,
then their time will definitely come.
[crowd clamoring]
[Abe sighs]
[announcer] Please exit in a…
Mr. Abe, that was amazing!
Nice refereeing. That was great work.
Flattery can only get you so far. Promoters don't do this kind of thing.
[Toshi laughs]
Whatever. Toshi, hey.
-Huh? -Is Crush all right?
What does that mean?
Dump's going pretty hard. The chain and fork she uses are real.
Ah, hey, they're fine. They're pros, after all.
-Pro-wrestlers, you know that. -Still--
Relax. They're just--
Ow!
[Abe] Follow her!
Good job tonight.
[Toshi] Stop it. Fighting here won't earn us any money.
Hey.
-Hey! -[Abe] Oh, whoa!
Matsumoto, don't worry, all right?
Devil's just jealous of how well you're doing.
Huh? Do I look worried to you?
Just go on crushing everyone in the ring. Okay?
Well, it would make Devil a lot happier if you'd target Chigusa instead.
Heels like you guys are supposed to torment the faces, right?
I won't just act as a foil for Crush. You got that?
[chuckles]
You're right.
Well, you're really no match for Crush.
What the hell did you say?
Hey, Dump, Dump!
Then I'll fucking kill them in the next one. How's that?
[tense music plays]
[Kaoru grunts]
-[Keiko whimpers] -[Kaoru grunts]
[Keiko whimpers]
[Chigusa]
Why can she do whatever she wants?
Well, we've been telling her to hold back on the weapons a bit.
That's not the issue here!
She can't win any other way, so let her use any type of weapon, then!
It makes people more excited anyway.
You can't let her steal the show and ruin a match like that!
Why'd you cut the match before we fought back?
-Is the company fine with that? -No, we're not.
Crush Gals is the face of the organization.
You need to get that damn referee in line!
[Kuni] Hang on.
-[woman 1] I don't know. -[woman 2] Just hurry.
[Honjo] Miss Devil?
Miss Devil, Miss Devil, please, just give me a second.
I want to say sorry for what happened yesterday.
I just went along and got caught up in it all.
Plus, the mask was too far. I'm sorry.
I really am.
Uh, I wanted to clear the air--
-[Keiko groans] -Don't be sorry for anything we did.
But it could be awkward. We're on the same bus today.
[woman] This is all we got. It's in there.
[Abe] There were more.
[suspenseful music plays]
There's our ride.
Huh?
-[Abe] That's-- -[Kaoru] Move it!
[Abe] Whoa!
Whoa, whoa. Whoa, whoa!
Hey! Hurry and get in!
Come on, you're ruining the goods here.
-[Kaoru] Come on! -Should we, uh…
-Um… -[Honjo sighs]
-[girl] Thank you very much! -[Kitamura] Thank you. I appreciate it.
[girls squeal]
[Keiko] Sorry! Please move out of the way!
-[Abe] What? -[Kaoru sighs]
[Kaoru] And now, the famous Dump Matsumoto is coming to your hometown,
and she's going to do her specialty, the agonizing fork attack,
for you dumbasses.
So tonight, don't forget!
It doesn't matter what your plans are,
'cause you'll be bringing your old geezers and dumb brats along,
-Hey, Nakano. -[Keiko] Yes.
[Kaoru] To watch us in the bloodiest fight you've ever seen!
EXTREME EVIL ALLIANCE
From today, we're known as the Extreme Evil Alliance!
Great, sounds great.
Look out, Extreme Evil Alliance is here!
[quirky music plays]
No way. Does that say…
Hey, you! Dumbass babyfaces, you hearing this?
Those two scrawny little bitches didn't stand a chance wrestling against us.
Like taking candy from gutless little girls, eh?
And hey, if that hurts your feelings,
come with your own fork the next time we fight, wimps! [laughs]
Come on, bitches! Agh!

Check it out. Look, look, look.

No one's pay has stood since Beauty was here. Here.
-Good job. -Thank you very much.
[Takashi] Good work. Here.
Hey, aren't you excited?
These matches with Dump seem pointless.
The Dynamite Girls showdown is where we can shine.
The audience loves you against her.
That's not how I think All Nippon should wrestle.
-Huh? -[Takashi] Asuka.
How should All Nippon wrestle, then?
I just think--
Here. Good job.
-Here. -Asuka, Chigusa, time for the recording.
[Takashi] All right, get going.
I just wanna be in a proper match, that's all.
-[Takashi] Okay, got it. -Thanks, I'm sorry.
-[Kuni] Hey, let's go. -[Chigusa] Yes.
-Ah, excuse me. -[Kitamura] Excuse me, sir.
-[door opens] -So it's a proper match she wants, huh?
[door closes]
[Takashi exhales]
[Takashi] I know that you're setting them up to go at each other.
-Isn't that too far? -Huh?
That's the kind of wrestling All Nippon actually does, isn't it?
[wrestlers] Have a good night.
Good work.
[door opens]
[door closes]
I think fouls are just a part of pro-wrestling matches too.
That wasn't just a foul. That was illegal.
It's all part of making us stand out though, isn't it?
Chiko, you can believe that.
For me, I want to use real skill in matches now.
[door opens]
[door closes]
[sighs]
Oh, auditions are held on the second floor.
I'd rather die than try out as a pro-wrestler.
Oh, hello, Miss. You, uh… You have a visitor waiting.
Hiromi?
Visitors aren't allowed in here.
The nice lady over there said it was all right.
Hey, smoking's bad for you.
It's not allowed either.
[Hiromi] You can attack other wrestlers with forks, but you can't smoke? [scoffs]
That's lame.
[Kaoru exhales]
Just take this and go.
And what are you doing with your hair done like that?
Hm.
Seems hypocritical.
Just look at how you've been behaving.
Do you know how much trouble you're causing the rest of us?
We get tons and tons of horrible prank calls every day.
-Then, on top of that, the weird letters. -Weird letters from who?
Just so you know,
it's gone to hell at home, and it's all because of you.
Oh, and I just got dumped, so thanks.
Why do you wanna break up?
Y-Your big sister is
Dump Matsumoto, right?
That's why.
All right, I get it.
I'll cover all the costs, so just move to a new place, okay?
It's not as easy as all that.
There's a lot going on you can't understand.
You've been living how you want, and not caring what it does to us.
[scoffs] Looks like you do take after Goro after all, huh?
Why the hell are you using "Matsumoto" anyway?
Stop using it in your stage name, okay?
It's mine to use.
Since he
Just get out of here.
I won't be coming home ever again. You guys can do whatever you like now.
I said get out!

-Hey, Kuni. -[Kuni] Hmm?
How long are we gonna do work that's not related to wrestling?
This is sudden.
Fighting with Dump leaves us banged up,
so we're already short on our practice now.
Aren't our priorities off?
Hey, being able to do songs means you're special.
Why wouldn't pro-wrestling and this kind of work have equal value, then?
What?
I think that both types of work are important.
It's part of what we do. It's entertainment too.

It says that this person's trying to curse us!
-[Ohmori] For real? That's crazy! -Did you see?
-Scary! -[Honjo] So scary!
-Crazy. -[laughter]
[Ohmori] There's nicknames too.
-[Honjo] Jeez! -Why are you here, Ohmori?
There's a bunch of fan mail at the company for you, so I offered to run it over.
Kaoru, you should read them. This shit is crazy, I swear.
[laughter]
-Just get out. -What?
We're the ones who live here now.
A face can't hang out here.
Well, this is technically the new recruits' dorm,
so why are you guys still living here?
I said to get out!
Kaoru, don't be like that. We all started as new recruits together, right?
Hey, who asked you?
Stop acting like friends, all of you!
All right, I'll go.
I assumed we could still hang out together.
Kaoru,
this mail sure was sent to the right person.
Babyfaces are dead to us.
We can't fight seriously if we're friends.
Same goes for you!
Yes.
DIE, DUMP MATSUMOTO
DIE! YOU PIGS
[Kaoru] Bring it on.
Ow!
Ow.
[gasps] Razor blades!
[Honjo] Seriously?
I'll… I'll go throw them away.

TOYO TELEVISION CHAMPIONSHIP
And now, to tell us about the new spring series,
Commissioner Ueki and President Takashi Matsunaga
are joining us here today.
[Ueki] All Nippon Women's Pro-Wrestling is proud to announce
that we will soon be launching a league
called First TOYO Television Showdown All Japan Grand Prix,
a round-robin competition.
[Takashi] to determine our top-skilled wrestler.
The title of top wrestler of All Nippon will be based solely
on their abilities.
All singles matches of 30 minutes, one fall.
Ten wrestlers from our company will fight in a round-robin tournament,
which will run over the course of approximately three months.
[Ayumi] If it's just based on our abilities,
that means everyone has a chance to win, right?
Let's do it.
There hasn't been a singles match in forever.
I was hoping for this.
No polite "seniors and juniors" crap either, am I right?
Yes. Thank you very much.
[reporter] Does that mean there's going to be a showdown
between the two Crush Gals?
Fans might have mixed feelings.
[grunting]
This is what you guys get for acting like jerks!
[director] Cut! Great work, everyone.
[Takashi]
there will be a match between Chigusa Nagayo and Lioness Asuka.
The highlight of this Grand Prix
is that you'll see our two most popular wrestlers
fighting each other in the arena.
Come on, I haven't forgotten what you said just last week.
Hey, are you listening, Dump?
Come over here and say it again to our faces if you're actually--
[Kaoru] Hey, you!
-What? -Oh, oh, oh!
What did you just say?
[people shriek]
Please, I'm sorry. I'm really sorry! Just let go!
Don't screw around!
[Takashi]
The Extreme Evil Alliance and the Dynamite Girls will have matches too.
The goal is to see our wrestlers fight freely,
without being constrained in any way by the tag-team dynamic.
Finally, the winner will fight at the Nippon Budokan,
in the WWWO World Single Championship for the red belt,
in an epic showdown with Jaguar Yokota, who is training in Mexico right now.
I'm Mizushima from
I'm looking forward to seeing some rare matches, but…
Oh, they decide next week about your time slot. It's a hit, so don't worry.
Sure took a while for the president to say yes to it.
Nippo
-[laughter] -[Usui] He seems into it now.
[Toshi] Hm.
Now it's key to consider who will get to the final round.
This is supposed to be a real contest. He doesn't want anything rigged.
Hang on, hang on, Toshi, hey.
For now, we'll let things happen unscripted,
then we can pick the best final match for ratings.
But you can convince him, can't you?
Toshi, let's focus on the numbers, okay?
[man] I deducted the inspection fee.
This'll cover it.
Thank you very much, sir.

[Honjo groans]
-Chigusa just won today. -[man] Chigusa's on fire. She could win.
-And Yuu was a loser today. -Dump?
Chigusa's doing great here.
-Hey, Asuka. Good luck! -Thanks so much.
[Yokota] Tomo.
Oh, Jaguar!
That's amazing. You were in the main event in Mexico too?
In Mexico, there's nobody using real forks in the ring,
or karate kicking you in the crotch like they're doing here.
-[both chuckle] -[Kitamura] Of course not.
While I was there, I thought about you a lot.
[gentle music plays]
They're all interested in All Nippon wrestling.
I get asked about it in every interview.
But the wrestlers they ask about are
Dump and Chigusa.
Nobody bothers with
questions about you, for whatever reason.
How is it possible that a wrestler as good as you are
gets overshadowed like that by those two, huh?
Tomo.
At this rate, your talent will just keep getting strangled by Chigusa.
So win this competition at any cost.
We'll fight at Budokan then.
Ciao.
[gentle music continues]
[Takashi] for the final match?
The station says it's what's best for ratings.
I don't wanna have this conversation again.
We started this league as unscripted serious fights.
I won't rig the matches for ratings.
We're so close to getting the slot we deserve though.
That's not our concern.
Asuka won't be throwing any fights, but you're welcome to pray.
-Sucking up to that producer is pathetic. -You've made a fortune thanks to TV.
Don't try to deny it.
Your house in Den-en-chofu? You got that with TV money.
-Wanna repeat that? -[Kuni] Knock it off!
Don't raise your voices in here. Crush is downstairs, they'll hear you.
I was born with a loud voice, that's all!
Hey.
Look, this Tiger Mask seems cool.
Don't you think so too?
Oh, and here, I think with your athletic skills, moves like this one are easy.
The moonsault, look.
So come on!
I don't think so. Thanks.
I know you can do it.
And I always thought
you should use the whole ring to your advantage more, you know?
Are you okay?
It's just that
all the karate moves, and the trick moves,
I did all of that stuff 'cause you wanted to.
So I want to stick to the way Beauty competed,
and a real pro-wrestling future.
Well…
I understand how--
You don't at all!
You don't understand how I feel.
I want you to let me fight the way I want.
Then let me give you my honest opinion too.
Competing the way you want will put Dump where she can destroy us both.
What Dump does is dangerous. It's not pro-wrestling at all! Forget her.
-Dump's pro-wrestling too! -No, she's not!
It's true you changed the company's wrestling style.
You get to shine like some type of hero when she stabs you. Am I right?
I don't care about that sort of shit!
This is just too much. I can't handle it.
[footsteps recede]
[Keiko] Sorry, just a sec. Where'd I put-- Oh, here it is!
Miss Dump, uh, about the fake tattoo for the match?
[Kaoru] Yeah?
I thought for the next one, how's this?
Viper? A huge viper.
What else?
What else? Uh, how about a great big one? Your whole leg here!
How's that?
-A big one there, huh? -Hello, Miss. Right there.
Where are you going?
Well,
since new recruits live here, I'd better move out.
Huh?
I'm going to move in where Ohmori stays at.
-[Keiko] Oh! -Hey!
-[Keiko whimpers] -Wait a minute, hey!
[Honjo] Just let go of me.
-No, you can't do that! -[Honjo] Don't touch me!
Why can't I go?!
Just hold on.
I told you before, right?
About faces and heels, how we can't--
It's made up by the company, so just forget about that shit!
Why would you actually hate them like that?
Stop all this before you really go nuts.
[door opens]
[Kaoru] Hey.
So, where do you stand?
Huh?
[Kaoru] I'm asking if you're still serious about becoming a heel or not?
Tell me now.
-[Kaoru grunts] -[Keiko gasps]
[Kaoru] Come on, huh?
You know that someone with a face like yours can never be like Crush, right?
Right?
[whimpers] Yes!
[Keiko whimpers]
Know what?
Us ugly bitches gotta do anything it takes to survive.
[Keiko's head thuds]
This is the only choice we got!
[Keiko] Miss Dump? [whimpers]
No, please.
-Stop it, please! Don't do this! -Shut up!
[Keiko whimpers]
[Toshi]
Getting to the top by skill is just amateurish thinking.
Getting admission fees requires a whole lot more than skill alone.
Pros need charm to really climb the charts.
Toshi, sir,
Budokan's main event needs to have me there.
Even so, the league rules clearly say--
The rules?
You scripted other matches. Why not this one?
You want to take Asuka down in a rigged fight, huh? [chuckles]
It's not like Asuka to agree to such a thing though.
You think the fans want Asuka and Miss Jaguar in the final?
The ratings will be better and you know it.
It's a bit greedy of you.
Go to the president yourself if you want.
If I suggest it to him,
us brothers will end up trying to kill each other.

HARUO SHIONO, HISAJI SUZUKI
[Shiono] Women's Pro-Wrestling on prime time.
The semifinal matches of the All Nippon Grand Prix are about to begin.
- -Of course. Have a seat here.
Right here.
[Shiono] will fight in the final match.
-[Chigusa's father exhales] -It's about to start!
…semifinal matches. They are going to force a tough battle for dominance.
The Crush Gals and the Extreme Evil Alliance
face their own partners. The attention…
-[waitress] What would you like, sir? -Uh,
[Shiono] come face-to-face in the final match?
I get what you're saying. I'll go and, uh, talk to Asuka, then.
[Chigusa] Thank you very much.
[tense music plays]
DRESSING ROOM 2 MS. CHIGUSA NAGAYO
[sighs]
[tense music continues]
[Kitamura] Yes.
Hey, Asuka.
I can't wait to see a great fight.
[Kitamura] Huh?
[tense music continues]
Cut her out?
Yeah.
Partnering with Honjo's just pointless.
Where are you getting this?
You guys just formed the Extreme Evil Alliance.
It'll be fine. Relax.
We're gonna continue on just fine without her.
[Toshi] Huh?
DIABOLICAL
And this would be who?
It's Bull.
Bull Nakano, you asshole!
[crowd cheering]
SEMIFINAL LIONESS ASUKA VS. CHIGUSA NAGAYO
-[Chigusa yells] -[Kuni] Hey, no hair, no hair!
-[Chigusa yells] -[Kitamura groans]
[Kuni] I said no hair!
[Kitamura grunts]
[Chigusa grunts]
[dramatic music plays]
[Chigusa grunts]
[Kitamura grunts]
[Chigusa yells]
[Kitamura groans]
Count it!
[Kuni] One! One.
One, one!
Okay fight!
[groans]
[Kuni] Let's fight!
-Asuka! Hey! -Asuka, you can do it! Come on!
[Kuni] Stand! Okay!
[Kitamura groans]
-Give up? -No!
-Give up? -[Chigusa yells]
No! No!
-Give up now! -[Kuni] Give up?
[yells]
[crowd] Chigusa! Chigusa!
[Shiono] And now the whole venue is filled with cheers.
The fans are all cheering for Chigusa Nagayo, shouting encouragement.
-[Kitamura yells] -[Kuni] No give-up.
[Shiono] Lioness Asuka is clearly in pain,
her expression showing the agony she's feeling,
but she is still too far to reach the rope!
[Kitamura groans]
-Stop? -[Kitamura] No!
-No, no give-up! No give-up! -Asuka, the rope. Get it!
[crowd] Chigusa! Chigusa!
Asuka still acts like quite the pro when she loses, huh?
[crowd] Chigusa! Chigusa! Chigusa!
[yells]
[Kuni] No give-up!
[Chigusa yells]
-[Kuni] Asuka, give up? Give up? -No!
-[Kuni] Give up? No? No give-up!
No.
[Shiono] Oh, Nagayo has let go of Asuka!
She seems to have decided that the sharpshooter won't cut it.
[Kuni] Fight!
[Shiono] Now there's less than five minutes left in this match.
[groans]
[Chigusa yells]
[both strain]
Stop. Didn't they tell you?
Throw the fight so I get to the final!
Huh?
[Yokota] just keep getting strangled by Chigusa.
[Kitamura grunts]
Chigusa Nagayo!
[tense music plays]
Show me your pro-wrestling is better, then!
[breathes heavily]
Let's do this!
[poignant music plays]
[yells]
[Shiono] Whoa! Nagayo tries a kick and misses.
Asuka managed to avoid it while barely trying.
Now Lioness Asuka grabs her opponent's legs.
Oh, she's starting her giant swing!
It's the giant swing. It's her specialty move, the giant swing!
[poignant music continues]
[groans]
[Chigusa breathes heavily]
[poignant music continues]
[groans]
[Shiono] Ah, Nagayo has swung around so much
that she seems to have gotten dizzy.
Nagayo is wobbly, falling to the mat. She's struggling to try and get up.
[both strain]
[Shiono] Asuka pulls her opponent to her feet.
What is it she's planning to do now?
Oh, a powerful slap!
It's as if she's signaling to the audience that she's the real leader of Crush.
Get on your feet already!
Let's see if you can stand up!
[Shiono] Asuka is giving her a terrifying glare.
Nagayo is clearly exhausted from the fight.
But not much time is left. It's Asuka's chance to do an all-out attack.
She gets Nagayo to her feet. What's coming next?
Chigusa!
[Shiono] It's another powerful slap. Wow!
Nagayo reels from the blow and falls to her knees!
She's leaning on Asuka for support.
-Oh, Nagayo falls face-first on the mat. -Hey!
[Shiono] The referee has jumped in and is checking on her condition.
Are you all right?
[Shiono] It seems she cannot get up anymore.
[Kuni] Down, down, down, down! Down!
[Shiono] And he says she's down!
She's down, and now he's starting the count.
-[Kuni] Three! -[Shiono] A count out.
-Can Nagayo possibly get back up? -[Kuni] Four.
[announcer]
-[Kuni] Five. -[announcer]
-[Kuni] Six. -[announcer]
-[Kuni] Seven. -[announcer]
-[Kuni] Eight. -[announcer]
-[Kuni] Nine. -[announcer]
-[Kuni] Ten! -[announcer]
-[bell chimes] -[Shiono] She has been knocked out!
This is unbelievable!
The battle between the Crush Gals has come to an end with a dramatic knockout.
With this knockout, Lioness Asuka secures her place as winner
and advances to the final match of All Nippon Grand Prix!
What the hell?
Ah, that's the problem, huh? They don't do as they're told.
[Chigusa breathes shakily]
Hey.
Hey!
Wakey, wakey now! [laughs]
Here goes!
[ominous music plays]
[Kaoru grunts]
SEMIFINAL DUMP MATSUMOTO VS. CRANE YUU
[Shiono] Oh, a blow to the head!
Dump Matsumoto's brought out the fork.
As expected, she's using her weapon and has started stabbing her opponent.
Crane Yuu's body collapses onto the mat, bleeding from the wound.
Her face is covered in blood. It's flowing everywhere.
This has become quite an intense match.
This match between the members of the Extreme Evil Alliance
is just as gruesome as many predicted.
-Hey! -[Kaoru yells]
-[Kaoru grunts] -[Honjo groans]
[Kaoru yells]
Hey, hurry up and finish the fight. Honjo looks bad!
Just shut up already!
[Shiono] Whoa! She's even attacked the referee who tried to stop her.
-[Abe groans] -[Shiono] This shouldn't be happening.
[dramatic music plays]
She's taken out one of the corner posts from the neutral corners.
Is she going to attack her from behind?
-Wow, that's intense! -[Honjo groans]
[Kaoru grunts]
[woman] Hey, you can't do that!
[Shiono] Dump has gone wild. She's not listening to anyone anymore.
She's attacked Shiro Abe, the referee.
There's no one left to stop her!
[dramatic music continues]
[Kaoru grunts]
Get outta here!
[Shiono] And now she's--
Ah, looks like she's about to push this battle past the ring.
She's come down to where we are, the broadcast booth.
Dump is holding Crane Yuu's head and--
Oh, she slammed Crane Yuu's head down onto the desk very hard!
Quit screwing around! [grunts]
[Honjo groans]
-[Kaoru grunts] -[microphone squeaks]
Hey, watch this!
[microphone static]
Here I go! [grunts]
-[microphone squeaks] -Yes!
[announcer]
[Kaoru groans]
This is what you get, jackass!
-[Honjo groans] -[microphone squeaks]
[Honjo groans]
[announcer]
[microphone squeaks]
-[microphone squeaks] -[Honjo yells]
[Kaoru snarls]
-[Honjo groans] -[announcer]
Dump, hey!
You bitch!
I'll kill you right here! [grunts]
[Kaoru groans]
[Honjo yells]
-[Kaoru] Hey! -I'll kill you!
Hey! Hey! Let go!
[Shiono] Huh? There's somebody joining the fray.
Who is this mysterious fighter? I've never seen her before.
Could this be a member of the Extreme Evil Alliance?
-She seems to be assisting Dump. -[Keiko yells]
[Shiono] This is an unexpected development. It's a two-on-one fight.
The situation is definitely not fair!
The two of them are attacking Crane Yuu together.
No one could have possibly seen this turn of events happening.
Who knows what's going to happen next?
Dump Matsumoto is breaking all the rules again today.
She continues her attack on Crane Yuu, disregarding all the rules.
[Kaoru] Hey. Come on.
Got something you wanna say?
Get up.
Hey! [laughs]
Hey!
[rock music plays]
Hey, Bull, hurry!
Yes!
[Keiko yells]
Time's run out for you, bitch. Die! [grunts]
Hey!
Hang on!
Hey, we're not done yet!
[yells]
Who are you, bitch?
[Honjo spits]
[rock music continues]
[Keiko grunts]
[Keiko yells]
You like that?
[Honjo groans]
[Shiono] Crane Yuu is no longer able to get up.
Her face is covered in blood from the wounds on her head.
This match really is difficult to watch.
-Count it! Hurry! -[Shiono] Dump is…
-She's calling for a count. -One, two.
-[Honjo groans] -[Kaoru] Hey!
-Hey, your count was late, asshole! -It was two. Two!
[crowd] Yuu! Yuu! Yuu!
[Shiono] The audience is calling out Yuu's name.
This is truly remarkable.
Extreme Evil Alliance's Crane Yuu, who is a heel,
is actually getting cheered by the crowd.
I've never seen this happen before!
[tense music plays]
[Kaoru] Hey.
[Shiono] Now Dump Matsumoto grabs Yuu by the hair and drags her into the corner.
They're in the corner, and, ah, what is she going to do?
Her opponent's face is covered in blood.
Ah! She's biting her. She's biting her!
Once again, an illegal move. Dump is biting her on the head!
[Honjo groans]
[Kaoru snarls]
-[Kaoru snarls] -Dump, here!
Huh?
[Shiono] Ah, this time, it's the chain.
Looks like she's going for her opponent's neck!
The chain is digging into her neck. It's a terrible sight.
Dump, cut that out! No!
[Kaoru snarls]
[snarls]
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Finish it! Finish it!
-Ring the bell! -[bell chimes]
[Shiono] Ah, now the referee has requested the bell to be rung.
The bell signifies the end of the match.
The match has officially ended.
But how will the winner be decided?
The seconds from both sides are inside the ring, causing utter chaos.
It's absolute chaos, but the decision is not yet clear.
Why did you have to act like that?
[Shiono] The decision is in!
We have word that it's been declared a referee stop.
The referee has stopped the match.
If that's the case,
which of the competitors will go against Lioness Asuka in the final match?
Which of the contenders will it be?
[bell chimes]
[Honjo] Dump! What the hell? What's wrong with her?
What the hell is wrong with her? [breathes shakily]
No, I'm through with pro-wrestling. Done!
[Honjo cries]
I'm gonna quit this shit.
What the hell was all that?
What the hell?
[Honjo cries]
What the hell?
[grunts]
Fuck this pro-wrestling shit!
You've got to be kidding me. Shit!
[Honjo cries]
What the hell?
Shit!
[Honjo cries]
[knocking on door]
Dump, hey. They're starting the final match.
[Kaoru] Damn it, Chigusa.
I needed you to win.
Hey, what am I doing here?
[gasps]
-The final match? -Well, they started the match just now.
It's Asuka and Dump fighting.
No way.
There's no way. They can't!
-Where are you going? -Just let go!
Budokan is mine, understand?
I'm going out.
Your match is already over. Wait!
Chigusa, just stay here!
I said I'm going!
-[Lovely] Chigusa! -[Ayumi] Chigusa!
[announcer]
Lioness Asuka wins the match by a body press hold.
And so the champion of All Japan Grand Prix
is the one and only Lioness Asuka!
[Usui]
to keep the finals of the All Nippon fight real, then?
Seems like you're in for a letdown at Budokan.
[Toshi] Then complain to the president.
Hey, no matter what, Budokan was gonna be Jaguar's grand return.
So in the end, what matters is that Jaguar gets her fight.
You sneaky jackass.
Anyway, next we've got Osaka.
Plans haven't come together yet,
so what might TOYO like to see there?
Osaka?
-Osaka-Jo Hall right? -Yeah.
Seems the ticket pre-sales are low.
So for Osaka, we'll need something big, that's for sure.
[man]
[ominous music plays]
What are you doing, you hack?
Huh? That final match was when I was gonna end you for good.
Pathetic fucking loser!
Dump, don't! Just stop it. Get off!
-You assholes! -[Ayumi] What are you doing?
Don't you have anything to say?
[Keiko] Miss Dump!
Let go!
-[Keiko] Please calm down. -I said let go! Hey, bitch!
-Chigusa, fight me, you bitch! -[Keiko] Please, stop it!
Are you kidding me?
[Ayumi] Calm down!
[tense music plays]
[wrestlers shout]
Here we go.
Just hold on.
[wrestlers shout]
Why don't you let me handle Osaka?
[Kaoru] Chigusa!
[tense music continues]
[music stops]
["Are You Serious?" by Awich plays]
[music fades]
[crowd cheering]
[indistinct shouting]
[indistinct announcement]
[crowd shouting]
[wrestlers grunt]
[thudding]
THIS IS A FICTIONAL STORY BASED ON REAL PEOPLE AND REAL EVENTS.
