01x05 - Episode 5

[bunniefuu]

[cockerel crows]

[chickens cluck]

[farmer] Sorry about that. Just gimme
a minute and I'll slaughter and pluck it.

[Keiko] Oh, wait!

We'd really prefer it as is, if you could.

Huh?

[Keiko] Just like that.

[Takashi] With the Osaka Tournament
taking place

just one week
after the Budokan Tournament,

these women feel very strongly

that they'd like to settle
their differences in a singles match.

That's why,
at the Osaka-Jo Hall main event,

you'll see which one gets the glory,

and which woman
ends up getting their head shaved bald.

- [reporter 1] Oh!
- [reporter 2] The loser shaves her head?

They agreed to this big match for us,
which is great.

It's really appreciated.

[reporter 2] This will be a fierce fight,
with the loser shaving her head.

Are you willing to commit fouls
to win this, Nagayo?

No. I have no intention
of stooping to her level in the fight.

Asuka and I invented a style
that rivals men's pro-wrestling.

- That's how I'll...
- Come on, what the hell is that, huh?

Huh? Getting cocky?

- [yells] Nagayo, you idiot!
- It's a serious occasion, sit down!

Hey. All you guys had better look forward
to seeing her bald head, all right?

Out of the way, move! Coming! [panting]

[funky music plays]

What the hell is this?
This is dead already.

They wouldn't give us a live one.

- I'm sorry!
- Nagayo.

[reporters gasp]

This bird here's you. Take a look.

A chicken, yeah?

- [reporter 3] Oh my God.
- Now watch. This here is Nagayo, right?

[reporters gasp]

Watch it now.

- Following along?
- [reporters gasp]

Nagayo.

Your hair isn't the only thing
I'll be taking.

[funky music continues]

I'll take your life in the fight too!

[reporters gasp]

[chicken squelches]

{an8}[glass shatters]

Please, Mr. President, sir,
I really do need your help here.

So in Osaka,
you want it rigged so Chigusa wins?

Yes.

Some folks at my company
think it's too harsh

to show a shaved-head sort of deathmatch
in that time slot. [chuckles nervously]

But if we can guarantee
there's a happy ending where Chigusa wins,

they'll agree to show the fight.

Plus Chigusa's in a musical
that's filming in the fall.

And her drama's still being filmed,
you know.

There'll be no continuity

if she suddenly comes to set
with a shaved head.

[sighs] We really need your agreement
on this or there'll be serious trouble.

It could lead to our relationship
with your company abruptly ending.

- [girl 1] Are the Crush Gals here?
- [girl 2] Look at this car! Oh my gosh!

[girl 3] Chigusa? Is it hers?

Ah, so you bought a car? Nice.

A dump truck might have
put you in the headlines, though.

What did you wanna say?

Hmm?

No big deal. Just a little thing.

[chuckles]

You wanna ask me to lose, right?

Wait, wait, wait.
Wait, wait, wait! Just wait!

If you don't let Chigusa win,
they won't broadcast the fight.

And it's not like I expect
you to lose for free here.

[Kaoru] Huh?

I'd seriously k*ll for this kind of cash.

One, two, three. That's seven zeros.

- For real?
- Yeah, for real.

So, Matsumoto? You'll be good as new soon.
Hair grows fast.

You can buy your car outright. This much
cash will easily buy the loan out. Yeah?

I paid in cash already.

You make that much? Really?

Well, anyway, this is the deal, okay?

So just sign this, okay?
Let's go. Here. Sign it.

Here.

WRITTEN PLEDGE
HAIR VS. HAIR DEATH MATCH

[Kaoru] A written pledge?

[grunting]

[Kuni] The shoulder!
Can't you see it from there?

- [Honjo] Got it.
- [Kuni] Again.

- [woman 1] Go for it!
- [Kuni] You all ready? Go.

[grunting]

[woman 2] Get her!

- [grunts] One, two.
- [woman 1] Pin her!

[Kuni] The fans'll never hear you.
You've gotta project your voice more.

- Yes, sir!
- [Kuni] So do it again.

[woman 1] Yes, sir.

- [Kuni] Are you trying? If not, go home.
- What are you doing?

- [Kuni] You girls ready?
- Just shut it. Stay out of this.

[Kuni] Seriously this time.

Give it your all each time, okay?
All right, go!

One! Two!

[Kuni] Shout louder!

- How many times do I have to tell you?
- [Honjo] Got it.

HAIR VS. HAIR DEATH MATCH

[Chigusa sighs] I figured the script
would turn out like this.

[man] Hey, guys! Stand by for me.

Do you really have Dump
under control or not?

We can't go off-script
with Shiro Abe refereeing.

Hey, don't worry about all that.
Dump has agreed to play along too.

So in return, then, you better give us
a match worth broadcasting live.

[scoffs] That's what I always do.

Ah, so you do.

Well, these arrived at the office again.

Here.

MS. CHIGUSA NAGAYO

They're from your mom, right?

At least reply to her.

[melancholy music plays]

SUEKO NAGAYO

[host 1] Thank you both for taking
the time to be here with us today.

You two are incredibly popular.

You must meet lots of fans
wherever you go.

I guess we do, yeah,

and we've always got some fans
waiting for us outside the Meguro office.

Oh, I can imagine.

So tell me,
are you two friends outside of work?

Yeah. We'll shop
and buy some dinner together, won't we?

We're together on most days.

[host 2] That's great!

[host 1] But with everyone
wanting a piece of you,

how do you find the time
to train for wrestling?

[Chigusa] We often stay up late
and train through the night.

We do research by watching videos
of men's wrestling and reading magazines.

[host 1] And eating late-night snacks?

- [Chigusa] Yeah.
- [host 1] What kind do you like?

A lot. We can both pack it down!

- [host 1] I bet you could out-eat me!
- Yeah.

[woman sighs]

[woman] The numbers
just keep getting higher.

I'll say it outright.

These results show he's at high risk
of experiencing a fatal heart attack.

Doctor, are things that hopeless now?

There are still things he can try.

He needs to adhere to his treatment plan,
and take his prescribed medication.

And you really need
to stop drinking, Mr. Matsumoto.

[Chigusa on TV] Asuka and I invented
a style that rivals men's pro-wrestling.

- That's how I'll...
- [Kaoru] What the hell is that, huh? Huh?

- Nagayo, you idiot!
- [Chigusa] Sit down!

[Kaoru] Hey.

All you guys had better look forward
to seeing her bald head, all right?

Nagayo, your hair
isn't the only thing I'll be taking.

I'll take your life in the fight too!

[sighs]

You'd all be a lot better off
if I had just died.

That's stupid talk. Don't start! Let's go.

[host 1] How do you feel
seeing that again?

All right.

[Chigusa] Well, Dump really can't
help herself, can she?

{an8}[host 1] Dump said
she's gonna shave your head.

{an8}Are you still feeling confident?

{an8}Well, it's not about confidence.
I am going to win the match.

{an8}She cheats since she's no good,
I'm much better.

So I'll shave Dump completely bald.

[suspenseful music plays]

Come on. It's sold out.
We can't get a ticket.

I got two, bro, no problem. Here.

[suspenseful music continues]

[man] Line starts right over here.

LOSER-SHAVES-HEAD DEATHMATCH

[suspenseful music continues]

[rock music plays]

[music stops]

[video game beeps]

Sure you don't wanna watch it?

Watch what?

Pro-wrestling. Come on.

[video game beeps]

[groans] Oh, shit.

This pisses me off. I never win!

[man on TV] And now, the baby cheetah
behaves in a surprising way...

MATSUMOTO

It's starting. Hurry, hurry, hurry.
Let's switch the channel.

[Shiono] It opened in October 1983,
and this grand hall is now...

Are you sure you wanna watch all this?

Of course I do. It's Kaoru
who paid for this big house for us.

- Joining me is Mr. Suzuki.
- [Suzuki] Yes.

[Shiono] As we look at the expressions
on Chigusa Nagayo's and Dump...

- Switch two.
- Okay.

[Shiono] ...taking part in such a big match
here in the famous...

- I'll head out.
- Okay.

[Shiono] ...has them both
more fired up than usual.

[Suzuki] That's right.
But given the nature of today's match...

I heard we got people standing,
it's so full.

Ah, great.
The numbers are all we really need now.

The numbers are there.

This match is between Chigusa, an idol,

and the evil monsteress Dump,
who everybody loves to hate.

Right. Well, then, I'll leave it to you.

Of course. Thanks.

[Shiono] ...represent a woman's spirit,
so it will surely be an incredible match.

- Toshi.
- Hmm?

Sorry to nag, it's just we can't have
a disqualification end this fight.

This match needs a big finish,
you understand?

Please, it's handled.

I brought that Mexican referee
to a club in Shinchi last night

and made everything abundantly clear.

[both laugh]

[Ueki on TV] The main event today

will be a one-fall match
with no time limit.

The stated rules prohibit any inconclusive
decisions due to foul play.

This will ensure
a definitive outcome to the match.

[crowd cheering]

[bell chimes]

LOSER-SHAVES-HEAD DEATHMATCH

[Shiono] The Extreme Evil Alliance
is now entering Osaka-Jo Hall.

The arena lighting has turned blue.

And now, the Extreme Evil Alliance's
Dump Matsumoto...

Get out of the way!

[Shiono]...with her kendo stick in hand,

enters the arena as if rising
from the depths of the Earth.

The other members of the Extreme Evil
Alliance follow closely behind her.

I can see Monster Ripper in her entourage.

And who is
this masked wrestler joining them?

It seems they're doing
a lap around the ring.

The Extreme Evil Alliance has arrived,

and they are definitely
making their presence known.

Already, the audience is cowering in fear
as Dump Matsumoto makes her way past.

- She's incredibly menacing.
- [Kaoru yells]

[Shiono] Dump Matsumoto
and the Extreme Evil Alliance

enter just in the manner
you'd expect them to.

- [metal clangs]
- [Shiono] How intimidating!

It seems she's threatening
everyone around her

as she makes her way to the ring.

With presence and utter fearlessness,

Dump and her motley crew
complete their lap of the ring,

and Dump is now entering.

[announcer] And now,
entering from the red corner,

Chigusa Nagayo of the Crush Gals!

[Shiono] As if symbolizing
Chigusa Nagayo's emotions,

the ring is lit up entirely in red.

Here comes Chigusa Nagayo!

All the fans here at the ring
in Osaka-Jo Hall await her.

[crowd] Chigusa! Chigusa! Chigusa!

[Shiono] Chigusa rides on the shoulders
of her seconds like riding a horse today.

And symbolizing the head of that horse
is Crush Gal Lioness Asuka.

Chigusa Nagayo is entering the arena
as if on horseback today.

As loud cheers fill the arena,

Chigusa is making her way down the aisle
towards the ring here at Osaka-Jo Hall.

- [crowd] Chigusa! Chigusa!
- [Shiono] She's coming up to the ring now.

Dressed in a hakama, Chigusa Nagayo
gives the crowd an exciting ring entrance.

[announcer] And now,
for today's main event,

a no-time-limit,
loser-shaves-head deathmatch

will soon begin.

[crowd cheering]

In the red corner, weighing 125 lb.,

Chigusa Nagayo!

[Shiono] Look at that. Nagayo
has a pair of scissors in her right hand.

Is that signifying
that she will claim Dump's hair?

It certainly looks as if she's declaring
w*r against her rival here today.

- Weighing 210 lb. in the blue corner...
- [Shiono] Dump Matsumoto looks unfazed.

...Dump Matsumoto!

[crowd jeering]

[announcer] And our referee, José Torres.

Hey! Why are there two of you in the ring?

[Shiono] Nagayo seems perplexed now

as to why she's facing two wrestlers
instead of one.

[Kaoru] Bring it on!

b*tch!

[Shiono] She goes towards her!
The two of them are in a scuffle already.

- Huh?
- [wrestler] Get off, b*tch!

[Shiono] Oh, now the masked wrestler
enters the fray. Who could it be?

Hey, ref, what are you doing?

No, no, no, no. No hair! No hair!

[ropes squeak]

[Torres] No hair! No hair!
No, no, no hair.

[crowd] Go away! Go away!

[Shiono] Wow, what a situation
we have here.

Chants of "Go away" are already
ringing out at Osaka-Jo Hall tonight.

- [crowd] Go away! Go away!
- [wrestler laughs]

Go away! Go away! Go away!

[Shiono] She's taking off her mask.

- Oh, oh, oh, just look at that!
- [Kaoru yells]

[Shiono] The true identity is...
Oh my goodness! It's Dump Matsumoto!

That means the wrestler
who was introduced earlier

was apparently not
the real Dump Matsumoto.

I have no idea what's going on anymore!

[Kaoru snarls, laughs]

[Shiono] Chigusa Nagayo must also be...

[chuckles] That Dump really is
a great show woman, huh?

She wants us all to see
she's the top act here today.

[Shiono] We've all been tricked!

The masked wrestler from before
was actually Dump Matsumoto!

- [bell chimes]
- [Chigusa] Don't mess around!

- No, no!
- [Kaoru grunts]

[Kaoru grunts]

[dramatic music plays]

Hey, why couldn't I be the referee
for this one?

If you had, we'd have gotten
way too many complaints about it.

[Abe scoffs]

[Abe] You never know
what's gonna happen, huh?

A kid with no promise
who got stuck promoting with me.

Now all of this crowd is here for her.

[dramatic music continues]

[Kaoru grunts]

- [Torres] Hey, get back. Get back.
- [Kaoru grunts]

[Torres] Back. Get back, get back.

[grunts]

[grunts]

Hey, hey, hey! No, no, no, no!
No weapons. No weapons!

Hey, she's got a w*apon! Look!

[Torres] No! No weapons.

No weapons!

- [Kaoru] Take a good look, everyone!
- Screw you!

[Shiono] The fans
are shouting Chigusa's name.

Calls of "Chigusa" ring out in the hall.

[Kaoru grunts]

No weapons!

No weapons. No weapons.

[Kaoru grunts]

[both strain]

- Give up?
- No!

No give-up. No give-up! Get back.

Give up already!

[Torres] Stay out. Stay back.

[Kaoru] Go on, try and flip me, then!

[Chigusa groans]

Fight, Chigusa!

[Kaoru grunts]

[Shiono] Nagayo is back up!

[Chigusa grunts]

[Shiono] The arm.
She's taken control of her arm.

Will Chigusa be able to pin her?

- Hell yeah!
- Chigusa!

- [Shiono] And now for the count.
- [Torres] One! Two!

[Shiono] Dump escapes on the count of two.

Dump Matsumoto escapes the pin attempt
on the count of two.

Reach! Get the rope!

[Chigusa strains]

- [Torres] Get back! Hey!
- [Kaoru grunts]

[Torres] Get down. Get down.

[Shiono] Wait a second.
Someone passed Dump a fork.

Dump now has a fork in her hand!

[Chigusa] Get off me!

- No weapons...
- [Kaoru] Shut it!

[Shiono] Once again, Dump Matsumoto
is using her w*apon of choice, a fork!

[Chigusa groans]

[Kaoru yells]

[Shiono] Oh no!
Chigusa is bleeding from the forehead.

- Dump is being merciless with her tonight.
- [Kaoru yells]

[Shiono] This has turned
into a fierce match.

Blood is gushing from the wound
and running onto Nagayo's forehead!

[Torres groans]

- [Shiono] This match is out of control!
- [mom cries]

[Suzuki] I certainly
didn't expect this to happen.

[Shiono] Indeed. Nagayo
is in serious trouble here.

Things are not looking good for her.

She's now using the fork
to attack the referee, José Torres!

This isn't good at all.

She's attacking the referee
with the fork too.

Nothing can stop her now.

Dump Matsumoto has gone
into a frenzy here today.

[people shout at TV]

[engine revs]

- Sorry. I gotta watch it.
- Huh?

[people shout at TV]

[Shiono] Dump Matsumoto is on a rampage!

Are you serious right now?

[Shiono] ...stop her, but Dump hits him...

- Hey, move it.
- [Shiono] This isn't good.

- [crowd screaming]
- [Chigusa groans]

That's right. Get her, get her!

Hey, shut up!

[rock music plays]

[Chigusa groans]

[Kaoru] Hey, how long
do you plan to sleep for?

[Torres] No hair, no hair!

[Chigusa] Shut up!

[Shiono] The abdominal stretch.
The abdominal stretch!

Give up, come on!

[Shiono] It's the last resort
abdominal stretch.

- Nagayo's got her in a hold!
- Hey, screw you! [grunts]

[Shiono] Dump has powered
her way out of it.

[Chigusa grunts]

[Shiono] With absolutely no hesitation,
Nagayo goes straight in for the attack.

[Torres] Hey, give up?
Hey, get back, get back!

[Shiono] She has both her legs
moving into a sharpsh**ter position!

The sharpsh**ter. The sharpsh**ter!
Nagayo raises a fist to the roof!

[screaming]

[Shiono] The crowd goes wild.

[Toshi] Is it finally
Chigusa's time, then?

[rock music continues]

We wanna air Dump getting shaved, so, um,
we need her to wrap it up soon for us.

- [Torres] Give up?
- No!

[Torres] No! No give-up, no give-up.

- [Chigusa grunts]
- No give-up. No.

[Shiono] Nagayo used her signature move,

but Dump Matsumoto was able to break free
using her leg strength.

Chigusa!

Hey, you guys, watch this!

[Shiono] Dump has grabbed hold
of Nagayo's legs.

She's dragging her
to the center of the ring.

[Kaoru laughs]

[Shiono] She's getting ready
to use Nagayo's signature against her!

The sharpsh**ter!

This is a surprise!

Dump Matsumoto has stolen
Nagayo's signature move.

- [Torres] Give up? Give up?
- All right!

- [Chigusa yells]
- [Torres] Give up?

[Chigusa strains]

- [Torres] Give up?
- No!

[Torres] No give-up.

Hey! Hey, what's wrong?

Your move too tough for you?

Just try and break free!

- [Torres] No give-up. No give-up!
- Chiko! Get out of it!

Show her what you've got, Chigusa!

Don't stop fighting, you're a Crush Gal!

So break free. Get out of it!

[Shiono] Can you believe it?

Dump Matsumoto has released
the hold on Chigusa.

Why would she do that?

- [Torres] Fight!
- [Kaoru] Come on!

Let's go, Chigusa.

[laughs]

- Don't you dare!
- [Shiono] Oh, a karate punch!

Dump Matsumoto has used a karate punch.

She's stolen yet another one
of Nagayo's moves.

[Abe] She's even using karate moves?

This is gonna be
a tough fight for Chigusa.

Dump, I guess, must really resent
being forced to be the loser in this one.

[Chigusa groans]

[Kaoru grunts]

[Kaoru grunts]

[Shiono] Nagayo looks furious now.
She hits back with a karate kick!

What will she do next?

- Hey, what's wrong, huh?
- [Chigusa yells]

- Come on!
- Get her, go!

[dramatic music plays]

[Torres] Fight.

[Chigusa grunts]

[Shiono] What fierce kicks!

Dump Matsumoto is getting kicked by Nagayo
like a punching bag.

- [Kaoru yells]
- [Torres] Fight. I said fight!

[Kaoru] Yeah!

Damn you.

[dramatic music continues]

Quit screwing around!

- Whoa, whoa, whoa! No hair!
- Try me, then!

[both yell]

- [Chigusa grunts]
- [Kaoru groans]

[Shiono] And now,
Dump has grabbed Nagayo's hair

and tossed her out of the ring,
where she loves to brawl.

[man] Stand back, everyone.

[Kaoru] You b*tch!

[Torres] Get back here.
No fighting outside.

[dramatic music continues]

[Honjo] Hey!

Hey, get your hands off!
I said get your hands off!

Stop it. Let go already.
You're not taking those. You got it?

This has nothing to do with you!

Chigusa!

Chigusa, get up and fight her!
You can do it. Go!

[suspenseful music plays]

You! Give me that thing!

Hey, Dump!

[suspenseful music continues]

[Chigusa yells]

[thudding echoes]

[Shiono] Nagayo is using a w*apon.

Can you believe it?

- Chigusa attacking with a w*apon.
- Kaoru!

[Shiono] She's using a trashcan
as a deadly tool!

She's now attacking every single member
of the Extreme Evil Alliance

with a w*apon!

Well, it may be fair to say

that Chigusa has reached the limits
of her patience in this fight.

She's on a rampage with a metal can
in a massive brawl outside the ring.

To see the Crush Gal
Chigusa Nagayo like this is...

[bike brakes screech]

- Yeah!
- [Shiono] As everyone knows...

- Give me a cold sake.
- [bartender] All right.

[Shiono] ...deathmatch...

[bartender] One cold sake coming up.

[Shiono] ...punishment of having
her head shaved in the ring.

A fierce match was expected, but this?

I never would have expected the match
here today would get this violent.

Yeah!

[Chigusa grunts] Stand up! Get up already!

[dramatic music plays]

Stand! [yells]

[Kaoru groans]

[Torres] Hey, no, no, no, no, no!
No weapons! No weapons.

[Chigusa] Stand up already!

- [Kaoru grunts]
- [Chigusa yells]

Chigusa! Chigusa, don't!

- Chigusa!
- Hey, get out of here! What are you doing?

[Chigusa yells]

- [Chigusa grunts]
- No, no, no. No weapons! No!

- [Chigusa] Let go!
- No, please...

- [Torres groans]
- [Kaoru grunts]

[Kaoru yells]

Hey, now it's my turn!

- [Kaoru strains]
- [scissors slice]

- [Kaoru yells]
- No. No. No weapons!

- [scissors slice]
- [Torres groans]

[all shout]

Shut all of your holes!

Yeah!

[Kaoru growls]

Here I go!

- [Kaoru yells]
- [crowd screaming]

[Kaoru laughs]

[blood squelches]

[Torres] No weapons! No weapons.

[Kaoru growls]

[Kaoru snarls] Hey, let go!

[Shiono] Chigusa's face
is covered in blood. Unbelievable!

Screams of terror
ring out here at Osaka-Jo Hall.

[crowd screaming]

[Shiono] Oh no. Dump Matsumoto has
the scissors and she's going on a rampage.

She's going wild!

She's like a dump truck.
She can't be stopped!

[dramatic music plays]

[Kaoru roars] Yeah!

[yells] Here I go!

[Shiono] She's stabbing Chigusa's head
with the scissors.

- She's stabbing her with the scissors!
- [crowd screaming]

Let her go!

That's enough!

- [Kaoru laughs maniacally]
- [Kitamura] Please, stop it!

[Torres groans]

[tense music plays]

[Kaoru yells]

[Kaoru] Hey. Hey!

[tense music continues]

[scissors slice]

Hey! Stop! No. No weapons.

[Kaoru yells]

[Kaoru] Let go!

No weapons!

[Kaoru grunts]

[Torres groans]

[dramatic music plays]

[Kitamura] Hey! She's breaking the rules.

[Torres] Get down.

- You can't allow this!
- Just get in there already!

No. Hey, back up! No, get down!

[Kaoru grunts]

[Shiono] Dump Matsumoto grabs
the microphone and delivers a fierce...

Oh God. Toshi,
can we really air this fight?

[Shiono] ...Nagayo's head again!

We're live right now.

[Shiono] Deafening cheers...

[Usui] Toshi? Toshi!

That José guy
isn't controlling things at all.

[Toshi] President!

We've got complaints
flooding in right now.

Settle it somehow. Quick!
We're low on air time. Go.

Abe, declare it a no contest or something!

- I should?
- No, a no contest won't fly.

Chigusa would win. You swore it!

That referee should toss Dump out
for all the fouls.

What the hell? You were the one who said
we couldn't end the match that way!

- [Usui] That's not what I said!
- So I made sure that...

- [Torres] No!
- [crowd screaming]

[Shiono] Dump delivers
yet another blow to Chigusa's head.

[Chigusa groans]

Here I go!

[Kaoru grunts]

[Shiono] She's attacking her violently
with the microphone.

Chigusa Nagayo can only
defend herself now.

Her face is covered in blood.
Completely red.

The bleeding just won't stop.

Kaoru!

[tense music plays]

This is bad!
If she goes into hemorrhagic shock...

- Yeah, I already know that!
- Then stop the fight!

- She can't go on!
- Hey! Why aren't you doing anything?

- Chigusa will die in there!
- Get back!

- Hey, hurry up and ring the bell. Do it!
- Stop it, I can't!

Just stop the fight!

[Kaoru grunts]

- [Kaoru growls]
- [bones crunch]

- [Kaoru growls]
- [crowd screaming]

Stop it!

[ominous music plays]

[Shiono] Things could get really dangerous
if this match continues.

Nobody can stop her now.

Dump Matsumoto is using
her infamous chains.

This is a truly wild fight.

Nobody can stop this madness.

[ominous music continues]

[exhales]

José, stop! Stop!

José, stop it! Enough!

- José, stop it!
- [Torres] Hey, no! Get out of here!

Don't you get it? Do it or I'll k*ll you!

- They told me to keep going.
- Stop the fight!

[ominous music continues]

Please, sis. [sniffs]

It's done.

The fight's over.

[Goro cries]

Why is she going this far? [cries]

- Chigusa!
- [Chigusa groans]

[Kaoru roars]

[dramatic music plays]

Chigusa!

[dramatic music continues]

[Shiono] What's this? Lioness Asuka
has just thrown in the towel!

The towel?

- [Kaoru yells]
- [Chigusa groans]

[Kaoru scoffs]

[Kaoru grunts]

[Kaoru] Is that it? [grunts]

[Chigusa groans]

[Kitamura] Chigusa!

Stop it, please!

[tense music plays]

[Chigusa grunts]

- [Chigusa groans]
- [Kitamura] You idiot!

This isn't pro-wrestling. Get out!

[Kitamura grunts]

[dramatic music plays]

Don't interfere with this! [grunts]

Hey.

[Shiono] Both wrestlers are covered
in blood. This match is a bloodbath.

Oh no. Dump Matsumoto has the fork again.
She's got the fork!

Here I go!

[Shiono] Here it comes again!
Ah, another powerful blow!

This is a truly
terrifying sight to behold.

No! Stop it!

[Kitamura grunts]

[dramatic music continues]

[grunts] Stay out of the way!

This is a fight
between me and Chigusa! [yells]

All right!

[dramatic music continues]

[Chigusa groans]

Chigusa!

This is the end for you!

[music fades]

[crowd screaming]

Chigusa!

- [Kaoru grunts]
- [woman] Hold on!

Chigusa! No!

[Kaoru grunts, laughs]

José, count down!

- [Kaoru] Yeah!
- [Torres] One!

[announcer] One!

Someone stop him, wait.
Chigusa has to win!

- [Torres] Three!
- [announcer] Three!

- [Torres] Four!
- [announcer] Four!

[somber music plays]

- [Torres] Five!
- [announcer] Five!

- [Torres] Six!
- [announcer] Six!

Get up now! Chigusa!

- Seven!
- [announcer] Seven!

Come on! Stand up.

[poignant music plays]

[breathes shakily]

[poignant music continues]

KAORU, CHIGUSA

[poignant music continues]

[exhales]

Kaoru, you can do it!

[poignant music continues]

[breathes shakily]

[poignant music continues]

- [Toshi] José! José!
- Nine!

José, stop it!

- [Kitamura] Are you okay?
- [Toshi] Stop the count! José!

- Ten!
- [announcer] Ten!

[poignant music continues]

Looks like I won, you b*stards!

[bell rings]

[Shiono] That's ten! It's a knockout!

Chigusa Nagayo has lost.
Chigusa Nagayo has lost!

Dump Matsumoto is the winner.

Dump Matsumoto will be
cutting off Chigusa's hair!

[Torres] Enough!

[indistinct shouting]

- [Kaoru] How do you like that?
- [Kuni] Damn it, Toshi!

- What the hell were you thinking?
- That's not right!

- [Torres] Everyone, get back!
- [Kuni] What are we supposed to do now?

- [Torres] Hey!
- [Kaoru] Yeah!

[woman groans]

- Chigusa!
- [doctor] Are you all right?

Can you hear me?
Are you all right, Miss Nagayo?

Chigusa, over here! Take a seat.

- [Keiko] Get over here, b*tch!
- [Chigusa groans]

[Keiko] You lost the fight. Hurry up!

- [Yokota] No way!
- [Kaoru] Bring her ass here!

Get her over her!

[Shiono] Nagayo's body
is now being carried into the ring.

She's being dragged in!

The Extreme Evil Alliance members
are all surrounding her.

Nagayo's body is being shoved
back into the ring.

This is truly awful.
A chair has been placed in the center.

Chigusa Nagayo has been carried
to this chair.

We know what's to come.

- Objects are being thrown.
- Get back!

[Shiono] Screams of terror
and voices of sadness

are echoing around
here at Osaka-Jo Hall tonight.

It is total chaos in the ring.

Ready to cut!

Head down right now.

[woman] Stop!

[Shiono] José Torres has grabbed her
by the hair.

He is about to cut Nagayo's hair.

People are sobbing.
The hall is filled with screams.

[crowd shouting]

[somber music plays]

[Chigusa cries]

[Kaoru snarls]

[Kaoru laughs]

- [Chigusa sobs]
- [Kitamura] Chigusa!

Check it out! Nagayo's hair.
You see that? [laughs]

- Hey! Out of the way!
- [Kitamura] Chigusa.

Let's get the shaver out, huh?

[Shiono] And now Dump Matsumoto...

- Yes, Dump now has the clippers.
- [Chigusa cries]

[Shiono] She's now
shaving off Nagayo's hair!

It's awful!

Her hair is being shaved off.

Hair, which is said to be a woman's life.

Nagayo's head is being mercilessly shaved.

It's being shaved.

I simply can't watch!

What an awful scene. I have never
seen a sight like this before.

- [Kaoru snarls]
- [Chigusa cries]

[dramatic music plays]

[crowd screaming]

Not done with her yet!

- [Chigusa cries]
- [Kaoru laughs]

[dramatic music continues]

[Chigusa cries]

[all crying]

[somber music plays]

Hey, are you okay?

Let's go.

Out of the way. Move.

[gasps, sniffs]

- [Goro sniffs]
- [Hiromi] Why are you here?

- Why? Well, I... I was just...
- [Hiromi] You're drinking again.

You made my sister like this!

- No, wait, just... Hiromi, wait.
- Stop it.

- I'm sorry.
- [Hiromi] Stop it!

- I was just...
- Get off her!

[Goro grunts]

[woman yelps]

Hey, are you okay?

- [man 1 grunts]
- [customers shriek]

[man 1] Out of the way.

[man 2] Are you okay? Are you hurt?

- [woman] You okay, sir?
- [Goro cries]

[woman] You okay?

[indistinct chatter]

[man] Stay back!

- [Chigusa's father] We're her parents!
- [Sueko] You have to let us through!

- [Chigusa's father] Let us through!
- [Sueko] Let go! Chigusa!

[poignant music plays]

[Sueko cries]

I'm sorry.

[Sueko cries] I'm sorry.

[Sueko cries]

You and Dad were...

[Sueko sobs]

You were here.

[Sueko] I'm sorry.

[Chigusa cries]

[cries] You were here.

[both cry]

[Sueko] I'm sorry.

[both cry]

[music fades]

[newscaster] Strong late-summer heat
is expected today too,

so please be cautious of heatstroke
when going out.

ALL NIPPON WOMEN'S PRO-WRESTLING CORP.

{an8}STUPID
DIE

Last month, TOYO Television
achieved a viewership rating of 20%

during the live broadcast
of the All Nippon Women's Pro-Wrestling

at Osaka-Jo Hall.

However, the TOYO Television Osaka office

has decided to discontinue
showing future matches live on the air

due to all the complaints that were
received during the fight that evening.

The primary complaint was that...

Here.

[newscaster] One of the wrestlers
went so far as to use weapons

that caused her opponent
to bleed profusely from the head.

Where's the rest of it?

Hey, you broke your word.
Don't complain now.

We could be axed because of what you did
over there. Do you understand that?

How could I have known that Chigusa
would be knocked out so easily, huh?

- [Toshi] What?
- [Takashi] Matsumoto.

My congratulations.

What are you saying?

She got the whole of Japan in such
a frenzy they had to cancel the show.

The longer she goes on a rampage,
the more money we've got rolling in.

[reporter] Why didn't anyone anticipate
the potential for this kind of outcome?

[TOYO representative] In regards
to the broadcast content, everyone here

on the production side of things
will be working to ensure...

[Shiono] Chigusa Nagayo is taking hits!

Her agonizing condition
continues in the ring.

[crowd on TV] Chigusa! Chigusa!

[Shiono] Nagayo is back up. What now?

What will she do?

Oh, she's grabbed Dump's arm
using only one arm.

And now, will she pin her?

Nagayo looks like she's going for the pin!

And now for the count.

Dump escapes on the count of two.

Dump Matsumoto escapes the pin attempt
on the count of two.

[doorbell chimes]

[Shiono] Dump has grabbed hold
of Nagayo's legs.

She's dragging her
to the center of the ring.

She is getting ready to use
Nagayo's signature move against her.

The sharpsh**ter!

This is a...

[Chigusa] Tomo.

[Kitamura] Are you feeling any better?

Well, I think that

this just means you need
to put in some more effort at wrestling.

Everybody's been worried.
Why not train with us?

Why would anyone care
how I'm doing, anyway?

What?

It seems like I really made headlines.

I heard the fan club added
a thousand new members after the fight.

STARTING OVER WITH A BALD HEAD

{an8}A BLOODY KO
A PAINFUL HAIRCUT

She may have beaten me in the ring,

but, really, I haven't lost a thing.

So nobody needs to act
like they're worried.

[inhales] I know everybody's
been pretending to care.

I know they all just wanna laugh
at my ugly shaved hair.

Chiko.

You know, there are things
you should never say.

Tell me, did your moves work
to help bring Dump down that day?

Your moves did nothing!

Sure, you're incredibly popular,
but you don't practice,

so your pro-wrestling
won't beat Dump or anyone else!

The ring isn't the only thing that matters
in a wrestling career.

I don't need advice, so just go already!

[melancholy music plays]

Chiko.

Pro-wrestling's not a thing
you can do on your own.

Sure it is.

[cries] And I always do everything alone.

[cries]

[melancholy music continues]

[Chigusa cries]

- [Chigusa cries]
- [door closes]

End it?

[Kitamura] I can't work with Chiko now.

Trust me. I get how you feel.

You're the biggest women's wrestling stars
now, though.

I doubt you can leave that easily.

And besides, I hope you'll stay here
with me until I retire. What do you say?

What?

So far, nobody else knows this.

I think the company's decided
that I'm old news anyway,

so rather than get dropped
like Miss Jackie, I should just...

Wait a minute, hang on!

We were gonna change wrestling together.
You said that!

And I want to take that red belt from you.

That got me this far. It was you!

[Kitamura breathes shakily]

[melancholy music plays]

You can't change my mind. Sorry.

Don't run away!

Why would you leave like that?

Wait!

Then let's fight. I wanna fight you!

[Kitamura breathes shakily]

[Yokota grunts]

[cries] This isn't fair, Miss Jaguar!

[melancholy music continues]

You can't just leave!

Miss Jaguar, don't leave!

[Yokota] Tomo.

Before this comes to an end...

I wanna shine too.

[Kitamura cries]

[Kitamura cries]

[car engine roars]

[Kaoru's mom] I'm sorry to call
at a time like this.

But I just got a call from the doctor.

She said that

your dad might die tonight.

[engine revs]

[car horn honks]

- [nurse 1] Three units of blood.
- [nurse 2] Yes, I'll bring it.

OPERATION IN PROGRESS

[nurse 2] I'm getting
three units of blood.

[mom exhales]

Hiromi's here?

[mom sighs]

[Kaoru sighs]

So, I guess he's been drinking again?

Even though the doctor told him
it was too dangerous.

[sighs] What was that saying?

Only death can cure an idiot.

He's hopeless, seems like.

Uh...

That was very impressive, Kaoru.

Huh?

I saw your match in Osaka.

So, you're not angry?

Not angry at all, no,

because I know
that you're still Kaoru underneath it all.

[mom chuckles softly]

I knew that a lot of thought

would have gone
into how you chose to act for the show.

[poignant music plays]

I won't tell you
that you have to forgive your dad.

I'm sure you won't, even if he dies.

But you know...

your dad was a weak person. [sighs]

[poignant music continues]

That's why

he needed to drink

and act like he was strong.

Otherwise... [cries]

Otherwise, he...

[mom cries]

[mom continues crying]

- [mom continues crying]
- [Kaoru sniffles]

[mom gasps]

Doctor?

Thank you for everything.

The surgery was a success.

He should recover soon.

- What?
- What?

So I think he's gotten past
the worst of it now.

So, he's gonna recover?

[trolley wheels clatter]

- Uh... uh...
- Huh?

[both laugh]

[mom] Oh, there he is!

What the hell, huh?

I thought you were dying
so I came out here!

Hey, grab your chain.
Let's cho-choke him with it right now!

[both laugh]

[both laugh]

[gentle music plays]

[Jackie] Sorry to get you out like this.

A long time, huh?

You're looking well.

[gentle music continues]

[chuckles]

[Maki] So much for the three taboo rule.

[waitress] Here you are.

Excuse me. Beer for two.

[waitress] Certainly, Miss. Excuse me.

[both laugh]

[both chuckle]

[gentle music continues]

It sure feels strange, doesn't it?

Until a couple of years ago,

I guess we really did despise one another.

[chuckles] Wow, no sugarcoating it.

How did we get there?

Was it all just the wrestling?

Hmm.

We had some happy days, although,

in the end, I still got used
like I was just another tool.

[chuckles] Well, that's all I was
to those guys.

They used you and then tossed you aside.

Mm.

[waitress] Here you are.

Sorry for the wait.

[gentle music continues]

[exhales]

Maki.

I want

to start pro-wrestling again.

I thought that could be it.

You're still in the midst
of your beautiful days of youth, huh?

For just a...

a little more time, yeah.

[camera shutters click]

So I fully believe that,
with this company's vision,

we'll start a new kind of wrestling,
unlike anything we've seen before now.

This is my comeback to pro-wrestling,
and I look forward to new competitions.

I ask the people here, and those at home...

[Takashi] Joining Japan Women's?

And after everything we did for her, damn.

{an8}JACKIE SATO'S COMEBACK

Whatever. We still have the Crush Gals
and the Extreme Evil crew.

Like we'd ever lose to that has-been.

[gentle music plays]

WEEKLY PRO WRESTLING

{an8}"I JUST WANT TO ENJOY WRESTLING"

[gentle music continues]

- [women shouting]
- No, no, no!

All right. Good.

Hey, wrong way. Reverse it!

[gentle music continues]

[Honjo] Miss Jackie

was a huge star.

Why would she return to wrestling
just to get beat up like that?

JACKIE SATO
"A NEW STAGE"

[gentle music continues]

[Kaoru] I actually

saw Miss Jackie wrestle in person

before she was in Beauty Pair.

She was new, but she had an amazing aura.

I was a fan right away.

[gentle music continues]

[Honjo] Mm.

I don't want

you to get the wrong idea about anything,
so I'll just say this.

I didn't run away then.

[gentle music continues]

It's a better fit.

It lets me enjoy pro-wrestling,
except I don't have to choose sides now.

So that's why I changed.

[exhales] And since you're the reason
I figured that out...

I wanna thank you.

[gentle music continues]

[music fades]

NAOKO SATO

[wood creaks]

[wood creaks]

[wood continues creaking]

[breathes shakily]

[exhales]

[Kaoru gasps]

[Chigusa] Kaoru?

Chigusa?

- What are you doing?
- What are you doing?

Did you hear?

They want a loser-shaves-head rematch.

How long will they keep this going?

[Kaoru] Until everyone is bald, I guess?

[both chuckle]

[Chigusa] Come on, really? [laughs]

But you know what?

Things have been getting
really confusing lately.

Does everybody
have to despise everybody else

when we wrestle in the ring?

What was it that made you come here
to wrestle back then?

Well, I didn't have any real reason.

I just wanted...

I just...

wanted to get stronger, that's all.

[poignant music plays]

For me, it's how I feel alive, I think.

To prove, in a way,
to everyone else that I had around me...

my strength can keep me alive
through it all.

Well, have we gotten any stronger at all,
do you think?

[poignant music continues]

KAORU MATSUMOTO
NAOKO SATO - CHIGUSA NAGAYO

[reporter 1] Great work today. Over here!

[reporter 2] Another great fight,
Dump, as always.

What a great match. A picture, please!

[reporter 3] Can I get a picture, Dump?
One last photo! Over here!

- Look this way!
- Clear out!

- Hey.
- Careful, careful.

Just one more.

Thank you.

- Great work today.
- What are your thoughts on today's fight?

Next question.

Okay. All right.

Oh, there are rumors
that the Extreme Evil Alliance

might be making its debut in America
later this year.

What can you tell us?

- [reporter 4] Dump?
- [reporter 5] Hey, Dump?

- [reporter 4] Dump?
- Huh?

[reporter 5] Well, about America?
Are you going, or...

[sighs] Gimme.

- Oh, wait, no, don't...
- Hey.

Answer this.

- Okay.
- Do our guys check this or not?

- Uh, no... [groans]
- [reporters] Oh!

No, I don't think
we need your guys' permission, no.

Is that right?

Then I'll retire.

- What?
- What?

- Huh?
- What?

- For real?
- Is she serious?

Dump Matsumoto's retiring.

[reporter 6] How long
have you been planning to leave?

ALL NIPPON WOMEN'S PRO-WRESTLING CORP.

[Takashi] Matsumoto,

we have events booked featuring Dump
until next year.

Retirement is not in the cards
for a good long while.

You understand that, don't you?

[scoffs]

- So, why'd you fire Jackie, then?
- Hmm?

You guys decided to axe her
in the middle of a series

when she was no longer necessary.

Don't act like it's impossible
to retire like I want!

- Hey! Just let go!
- Why?

- Hey! Someone else recruited you, huh?
- Huh?

Someone at the new wrestling company
offered you a deal,

isn't that right?

- [Kaoru exhales]
- Well?

What are you saying?

I just want...

I just want to quit my role is all.

What is all this? What role is that?

Dump, okay?

Knock it off. You're acting ridiculous!

- [Kuni] Hey!
- [Toshi] Hey!

[Kuni] Hey!

[people gasping]

[Kuni] Who let Chigusa
have a press conference?

Chigusa's having a what?

- Chigusa's jumping to that new company.
- What?

{an8}I want to continue
being a serious wrestler.

- How long before you're going?
- After you switch, who would you wrestle?

- I'd wrestle Kandori.
- [reporter 1] Kandori?

Also, if Jackie is still going to fight,
then I want...

Don't tell people that. No!

[Toshi] Stop the press conference!
Stop it! Stop it!

- [reporter 2] We're trying to do our jobs.
- What do you think you're doing? Chigusa!

Everybody, wait! Just wait. Let me talk!

What benefit is there
in you wrestling with that company? None!

Oh. Don't write this.

I wanna wrestle with Kandori and Jackie.
It has nothing to do with you here!

What are you saying?
You know we'd never allow that!

Toshikuni! You were supposed
to handle things.

[reporters clamor]

[camera shutters click]

[poignant music plays]

DUMP MATSUMOTO RETIREMENT MATCH

Thank you, Miss. Yeah, take what you need.

No pickled ginger? All right.

- Yes, of course, just a second?
- One of these?

Oh, this poster?
We don't. My apologies, sir.

Here. Here's your poster.

[poignant music continues]

SEE YA

[woman 1] Miss Dump, you're up.

Good luck today!

[poignant music continues]

[pens clatter]

[exhales]

[chair clatters]

Here you go.

Miss Dump, here you go.

[woman 2] Good luck, Miss.

[Kaoru inhales]

[rock music plays]

[announcer] In the red corner,
from the Extreme Evil Alliance,

it's Dump Matsumoto entering now!

[Shiono] The Extreme Evil Alliance's
Dump Matsumoto enters the arena.

Well, this is a first.

Fans of the Crush Gals
are all up on their feet

to welcome Dump Matsumoto to the arena.

[Kaoru] Get out of the way! You b*stards!

What's your problem, huh?

[Shiono] Dump is menacing
everyone in the area around the ring

with her kendo stick.

This is her last appearance.

This is her final match as a pro.

[Kaoru grunts]

[rock music continues]

[Kaoru] Hey!

[Kaoru grunts]

[Shiono] Cheers and screams alike
are filling the hall.

Dump Matsumoto leads
the Extreme Evil Alliance to the ring

for her final appearance!

[Kaoru growls]

[Kaoru] Take a good look!

EXTREMELY EVIL DUMP IS HERE

[Kaoru laughs]

[Kaoru grunts]

Not the broadcast booth! That was close.
She's made her way to our booth!

[Kaoru] Hey.

[Kaoru grunts]

[Shiono] In 1980, she debuted
under her real name, Kaoru Matsumoto.

Since then, she's reigned
as the Queen of Villains,

leading the Extreme Evil Alliance.

Now known as Dump,
she's wrestled against big names

like Chigusa Nagayo, Lioness Asuka,
and Yukari Ohmori.

[Hiromi] Let go of me. Move!

Hey, sis!

{an8}THE QUEEN OF VILLAINS
DUMP MATSUMOTO

[rock music continues]

[Kaoru] Out of my way!

How's that?

[Kaoru grunts]

[rock music continues]

[Shiono] Her rivals, the Crush Gals,
look on from their places in the ring.

[crowd cheering]

[Shiono] Chigusa Nagayo and Lioness Asuka

are now welcoming Dump Matsumoto
into the ring.

I must admit,
this is making my heart race a little.

[Kaoru] Hey.

[Shiono] Dump Matsumoto
slowly steps into the ring.

She now stands in the ring,
observing the crowd.

Dump Matsumoto has entered the ring
for the final time!

[announcer] And now
for today's main event.

A 60-minute, single-fall

retirement match for Dump Matsumoto!

[crowd cheering]

In the blue corner, from the Crush Gals,
weighing 140 lb.,

it's Lioness Asuka!

[crowd cheering]

[announcer] In the same blue corner,
weighing 140 lb.,

Chigusa Nagayo!

[crowd cheering]

In the red corner, weighing 160 lb.,

Yukari Ohmori!

EXTREMELY EVIL DUMP IS HERE
DUMP MATSUMOTO

Also in the red corner, weighing 210 lb.,

Dump Matsumoto!

[bell chimes]

[Shiono] Cheers erupt
at the Korakuen Hall. The match has begun.

[snarls, laughs]

[Chigusa] Damn it!

Take this!

[Chigusa groans]

[Kaoru laughs]

[Kaoru grunts]

[Kaoru] On your feet!

- [Kaoru yells]
- [Chigusa groans]

- That's a foul, stop her! Go!
- [Abe] Stay out!

- Hey! Here I go!
- Hey, Dump!

- [Kaoru grunts]
- [groans]

[Shiono] Oh no! She's stabbed her
in the head with the fork.

What are you doing? Hey, stop it!

[Shiono] This is just awful.

- Just awful!
- [Abe groans]

[Shiono] Have you ever seen
a retirement match like this before?

[Chigusa groans]

[Shiono] Dump Matsumoto is sticking with
her fighting style right up until the end.

[Kitamura groans]

[Kaoru grunts]

[Shiono] They're fighting outside the ring
right in front of our broadcast booth!

Asuka!

- [Kaoru grunts]
- [Kitamura groans]

[Kaoru] Now it's your turn!

Devil, hey! Come over here! [yells]

[Shiono] The audience chants "Go away!"
at the rampaging Dump.

Is this how she's going to leave the ring,
amidst all of this angry chanting,

despised by the audience
until the very end?

[Kaoru yells]

Hey, quit it!

[Kaoru] Let go of it, you b*tch!

[crowd screaming]

[Shiono] Dump Matsumoto
has lost all restraint.

She's now completely out of control!

- [Kitamura] Hey, just stop it!
- [Chigusa groans]

- [Kaoru] Get up, b*tch!
- [Chigusa groans]

- [Kitamura] Stop it. Stop!
- [bell rings]

[Shiono] The bell has rung!
They're ringing the bell now.

What will the decision be
in this instance?

[crowd screaming]

[Shiono] It appears to be a no contest.

They decided to declare this match
as a no contest!

[Devil] Hey, somebody!

Get a towel!

[Kaoru grunts]

[crowd screaming]

[Kaoru] Gimme the mic. The mic!

Quit your whining, you dumbasses!

Huh?

[Kaoru grunts]

Hey, Dump, listen!

Tell me, is that how you want
your last pro-wrestling match to end?

[crowd cheering]

Just like that? Huh?

Do you really wanna go out like that?

[microphone thuds, squeaks]

[poignant music plays]

[Kaoru] I wanna wrestle

more than anything in life.

If you live as you want,
you'll win in the end. Go your own way.

[poignant music continues]

All of you idiots, listen!

I'll show you

Hey, Nagayo!

Get over here!

Let's join together!

Let's put our rivalry aside

Get up, then!

Let's stand together!

Come over here!

Let's stand together!

[crowd chanting] Go again! Go again!

[Toshi] An extended match? Is she joking?

[crowd] Go again!

If they want it, who cares?

- [crowd] Go again!
- It doesn't affect our profit.

[crowd] Go again! Go again! Go again!
Go again! Go again! Go again!

All right, then, you're on!

[crowd cheering]

Dump, let's wrestle this once as partners.

Real wrestling!

The way only you and me
can wrestle, all right?

You're the one who can match
the way I wanna wrestle.

There's nobody else who can do it!

[poignant music continues]

[microphone thuds, squeaks]

[poignant music continues]

All right, Asuka!

You and I, let's wrestle together!

Weapons are out, though. You gotta agree.

[poignant music continues]

Hey!

Our old team doesn't matter right now.

[crowd cheering]

You'll see the wrestling
that only we can deliver.

Let's do this!

[crowd roaring]

[Toshi] Hey, guys, it's over already!

Get outta there. Out of the ring!

It's over already.
It's over. Hurry, get out!

[crowd cheering]

Who's gonna referee?

I can do it!

[crowd cheering]

Dump Matsumoto's finished now.

Let's show everyone how strong

we are now, okay?

[poignant music plays]

[Shiono] A new match
is starting in the ring.

They're grappling head-on.

Dump is testing her strength
in an honest fight.

Dump is pushing Asuka back!

The referee has ordered a break,
but what will happen next?

It's a clean break!

- We actually got a clean break!
- [crowd gasping]

[Shiono] This is quite the surprise.

The fans in the arena are cheering wildly.

Dump Matsumoto is fighting fair!

And now, they're moving towards
each other, looking to lock hands.

And they're locked in,
making this a test of brawn.

[Kitamura grunts]

[Shiono] Asuka is coming in ferociously
with repeated kicks.

Dump whips her into the corner!
Is she going to charge in?
