>[HorribleSubs] Tiger Mask W - 29 [720p].mkv
NJPW assembles. Tiger continues his descent. Haruna cooks dinner.
Will Kentaro ever return to the ring?
FUCK KEVIN
Jesus, Naoto and Kevin's combined retardation is reaching critical levels.
I'm not even sure if The fucking Third himself wasn't enough to set Naoto straight, at this point.
Anyway, this was, of course, just a teaser and not the final showdown, but we're getting there.
Man, Kevin's still buttblasted after Tigar Masku nailed his hasubando.
>>156530556
Yes, fuck Kevin.
>>156530716
Takuma pls
So...is Naoto getting cucked by Takuma?
>>156530862
The endgame ship is Haruna x Naoto.
I just want to see the original Tiger Mask coming back to tell Naoto to stop being a edgy faggot that is ruining his legacy
Post yfwMiracle III is Fukuwara mask wearing a corset to hide his belly
Who's Miracle I and IV again?
>>156531134
Look, he may be a troll by trade but there are lines he's not going to cross, unlike a certain yellow housecat.
>>156531188
Miracle I is a Canadian guy dubbed by the same VA as Read Death Mask (they have a different build).
>>156531200
Spring Tiger?

Why even live.
How many episodes is this?!
>>156531458
3 cours
Does Ryu ever NOT jobbed at anything?
>>156530556
I'm so pissed at Kevin too. He was such a graceful bro and now he is a disgusting cheater.And pic next week is going to be gay asf
>>156531568
He won a tag match with Tiger Mask once.
Of course it was all a plot by Naoto to show how lousy were GWM's wrestlers right in Miss X's face.
I'm positive Ryu did win a match on his own just once in the series.
>>156531568
Nope. His only reason to exist is that the writers wanted a jobber but they couldn't use any of the NJPW wrestlers because they are real people

But haven't they already jobbed a few time? Especially Nagata.
Also, does he make that blank eyes thing in real life?
>>156531639
What if Kevin is actually gay? That would explain a lot

There's a difference between jobbing once in awhile and jobbing all the time
>>156531262
I don't even know how anyone would think Miracle 1 was RDM. RDM was tall as fuck.
>>156531639
He's well-meaning, but definitely misguided.
>>156532731
No amount of well-meaning could justify his attempted murder though.
Kevin haters are just jealous of his pure love.
>>156530862
I really hope so. Haruna deserves the sloppy seconds.
>>156532800
Oops, I hadn't seen the episode yet.
>>156532800
He's a Tiger's Den wrestler. Murder is what he's been taught.
Have you never watched the original series?
>>156532953
>Have you never watched the original series?
Of course not. That thing is even older than me.
I like how secondary characters are actually getting quite the spotlight and keep returning in this serie. U
>>156533042
So what? All Italians have watched that series, even those who are younger than it.
Are you worst than a dago, man? Don't you love your country? Do you hate fun, mayhaps?

>>156534669
Tiger Mask is even more classic than Kinnikuman
>>156535005
Gladly
Wait.. is this that yaoi manga?
I'll be pretty sad when this show ends. It's the kind of comfy show I can watch every week without feeling bored.
>>156534669
Kinnikuman is one of those series that I really wanted to get into but I couldn't because of some minor flaws that really pisses me off, in this case is the fucking toilet humor, also the giant lips in his mask bothers me too
This man clearly has a problem.
>>156534669
Ikki Kajiwara is a far more iconic author than whoever created Kinnikuman.
He did Ashita no Joe and Kyojin no Hoshi.
>>156534669
Ultimate Muscle kind of killed off Kinnikuman

>>156536006
This is a story about self-proclaimed masked pro-wrestler Hyuuga and his roommate Akaru. Hyuuga doesn’t remove his mask even at home— could it be that it’s his actual face?! Koketsu Dining, a story of a tiger (who even has a tail!) and the air-headed Akaru, who has unknowingly started to admire the gentle Hyuuga
>http://www.mangahere.co/manga/koketsu_dining/
>>156535750Not anon, but I do
>>156529895
Considering how retarded Naoto is acting right now I would expect the Third himself to knock some sense into him. He's not even a worthy opponent at this point. Also, FUCK KEVIN.

>>156533112
>not Call-Me-Kevin
>>156532165
>>156532205
Just like the hentai
So how badly does Kevin want his tiger hole to be filled by Takuma?
What's Naoto doing now? He's betrayed NJPW and essentially GWM/The Miracles by attacking The Third. Does he go on a solo training arc?
Is Takuma going to come back after being rehabilitated and slap the shit out of The Third himself after Naoto fails to get the job done?
>>156543224
Naoto is probably becoming the classic lone wolf. Should have seen it coming.
>>156543224
Takuma is going to come back and slap Naoto's shit but at the cost of his own body. Then we get a training montage and Naoto somehow gets a fight with Tiger the third the end
>>156543165
We'll see when we find out who the flowers are for.
>>156543224
What if:
Takuma shows Naoto the light after a scuffle. They then get back together as a tag team of sorts.Kevin on suicide watch
>>156543814
The power gap between The Third and every other wrestler is so huge that the only feasible way for either Naoto or Takuma to beat him is to tag up with the other. Even then I have a hard time believing they'll manage.
>>156530624
[Spoiler]this is going to end in a similar way to the OG TM. I'm starting to assume Naoto will end up ending Takuma's career or killing him, Haruna will try to stop him with a retarded and anguished confession, TM ends up killing TG3, and ends up being ostracized by everyone because of his actions.[/Spoiler]
[Spoiler]With the difference he doesn't end up killed by a car[/Spoiler]
>>156530982
Endgame will be Nobody x Naoto because he will pull a Naoto Date and go way too beyond in his vengeance downward spiral. This looks like it will have a similar ending to the original Tiger Mask.
>yfw there's only 10 episodes left.
I am loving this arc. What is going to happen to tiger mask? What else is Kevin going to do? Will Ruriko fall for Takuma?
Kevinetty never drew a dime
>>156546389
Is that some wrassling idiom?
>>156546023
>Haruna confesses.
I fucking hope not. She hasn't shown any signs of love towards Naoto. And I'm liking how the women in this show actually have their own motivations, doing their own things and don't have their lives revolve around getting the MCs dick in them.
>>156546647
Considering it's Toei (a studio who is famous for putting asspulls) who's doing this and Kajiwara did the same shit in AnJ (Yoko all of a sudden started loving Yabuki after discovering his deteriorated condition), I can see this coming. In the end, Naoto will get his revenge, but at the cost of becoming an outcast and generally despised by everything and everyone, like the original Naoto. And if Takuma survives... he'll end up crippled forever.
>>156546529
.Retarded /asp/ie meme. Ignore him.
>>156548156
YA SEETHING
>casually joked about Kevin being gay for Takuma
>the absolute madmen actually made Kevin literally gay for Takuma
This is getting too weird for me bros.
>>156548336
I don't see how there's anything actual or literal about it. Yet.
The only way to top a 5 vs 5 match is with a 6 vs 6 match. Post yfw The Third, a reluctant Tiger Mask and The Miracles team up again Naito, Omega, Tanahashi, Okada, Nagata and the last minute surprise no one will see coming Tiger The Dark.
>>156531042
>I just want to see the original Tiger Mask coming back to tell Naoto to stop being a edgy faggot that is ruining his legacy
Have you SEEN the original Tiger? So long as Naoto doesn't murder anyone he's still got the moral leg up.
are you all ready for big match okada to do it again and go over TG3?
>>156543892
The Third is going to literally murder Takuma in the ring. Naoto is going to get an unreasonably retarded asspull power up boost from his rage and his grief that suddenly allows him to stand toe to toe with The Third after getting smacked around by him like a little bitch just minutes before. Screen cap this.
After getting so mad he goes colorblind, Kevin will no longer able to tell Tiger Mask and The Third apart and will mistakenly run The Third over with a semi.
>>156549302
So Kevin will be the true hero in the end?
>>156549563
He did it.. For Takuma. He did it.. For the people.
>>156549030
Maybe Takuma and his dad aren't cut out for the whole pro wrestling thing.
>strongest team
>Okada, Ace, and literally whos
>>156531262
And Miracle 4 is Black Python.
Altering a person's race or build is nothing for Tiger's Den.
Gotta be honest.
I really like Miracle 1.
He is so happy about being a heel.
Isn't Miracle One Mike Rodriguez?
>>156551219
If I didn't like NJPW or want The Third to get beaten, I would enjoy watching The Miracles be bumbling assholes in their own careers.
>>156551353
I don't really care about the other Miracles, but 1 is geniunely happy about be a bad guy.
While the other Miracles are gloating or being annoyed at Tiger Mask, 1 just wants to share the joy of being a bad guy to Tiger Mask.
>>156551500
Do not sexualize.
>>156551500
Why is she so sexy?
How come there are no child fans in this series? Is wrestling no longer appropriate for young people?
It feels like Naoto isn't going to win with revenge and needs a better motivation but the reconstruction aspect has been pretty neglected so far.
>>156551797
What kids would appreciate Tiger Mask's betrayal or the antics from the Miracles? There was a time for children and it has long passed. Maybe they could show a child getting upset that their hero has turned but I feel like they would have done that by now if they were going to.
>>156550493
>Togi Makabe
>most mainstream wrestler in Japan currently
>literally who
>>156551797
Japanese wrestling doesn't have a really high percentage of children making up their fanbase like American wrestling does. There's a whole lot of female fujoshi fans. Odds are, if you see a family at a Japanese wrestling event, it wasn't the child that brought his parents along, it was the mother that brought her husband and child along. But you are right, there are more children fans that what the anime shows.
>>156551797
someone please post Naito and Lil' Bushi
Japanese wrestling fandom is weird
>>156552760
Is Vader dying?
What's funny is that at the beginning of the series, I saw Naoto as a full on babyface and I believe he wouldn't pull any Tiger's Den fouls. I'm officially as betrayed as his in-universe fans.
>>156543224
>Does he go on a solo training arc?
Technically he's already doing that.
>>156546023
I don't think any character is going to die in this series. There weren't confirmed kills even in Hell in the Hole.
>>156546314
>What is going to happen to tiger mask?
>What else is Kevin going to do?
More stupid things until Takuma is fit enough to stop either. Naoto is going back to being a freelance wrestler as he was before joining NJPW.
>Will Ruriko fall for Takuma?
Naoto had his chances and he buried them.
>>156546647
>I'm liking how the women in this show actually have their own motivations
And they can wrestle too, barring Ruriko.
>>156551151
Well there are skin lightening creams people can use to look less brown...
>>156551797
>How come there are no child fans in this series?
Good point. Toei of all people are obsessed with family episode and such.
>>156551961
>There was a time for children and it has long passed.
To think that in the first series Kenta watched every single match, no matter how bloody, and basically yelled at TM to cut the babyface bullshit and use Tiger's Den fouls against them.
>>156552278
>Japanese wrestling doesn't have a really high percentage of children making up their fanbase like American wrestling does.
Methinks this isn't particularly good for the growth of the business. Many /asp/ies watch pro-wrestling out of habit and because they started in their youth. This could be tied to a certain anime series being made...
>There's a whole lot of female fujoshi fans.
Which reminds me of Sengoku Basara and Sengoku Musou fans, games supposedly targeting young male audiences but having a substantial female fanbase, even grown women cosplaying as the (male) heroes... God, I can't find that video anymore, they even used REAL, old blades to cosplay.
>>156552278
Do they still show wrestling on regular TV?
>>156552906
Perhaps, he got into a car accident a few months ago and his doctors told him he has about two years to live, but he has since said he's not hurting at all.
>>156553747
I'm not sure, I've been meaning to ask/wooo/whether it does or not. I know in like 1987 there was this big incident and NJPW's tv got pushed to like 2 AM which then caused an exodus of a bunch of talent, but since then, NJPW experienced its peak years in the mid 90s, so I would be surprised if they didn't have an actual good slot time on tv nowadays.
>>156554526
Most late night slots are filled with anime nowadays.
>>156553747
>>156554526
It literally comes out after Tiger Mask W airs
because the anime is basically an ad for NJPW
>>156555334
so are wrestlers from NJPW made after actual wrestlers?
>>156555546
yeah
every NJPW regular shown except Wakamatsu is real
but the only one that voices himself in the show is pic related
>>156555546
Aside from Ryu all NJPW wrestlers are real wrestlers, Makabe even voices himself, he's a little rough but I think he's doing a good job.
>>156555764
>>156555706
Was the point of Ryu to have a dedicated Jobber?
>>156555764
>I think he's doing a good job
Personally, I find it grating to listen to him. The sweet tour episode was almost unbearable to watch. Good things he's gotten fewer lines after that.
>>156550493
This wwe baby here lads
>>156555706
How can one man be so based?
>>156552156
More mainstream than Antonio Inoki or Giant Baba?
>>156557595
No, definitely not, just the most mainstream active wrestler in Japan currently. He does quite a bit of voice acting and he makes a lot of television appearances (mostly related to eating sweets). I remember reading a quote from Tanahashi saying that whenever NJPW wrestlers are out in public, Makabe is always the one people come up to the most to ask for autographs and pictures.
>>156555953
His voice isn't as bad as "my finish is I fall on my face" guy

Holy shit, Kevin's gone full on yandere!!!
>>156562797
it was mike's time to shine.
pretty much the only guy left in GWM to be an actual good guy.
>>156562148
I love how, after being still for few seconds, characters make those small movements. This shit is great. So hyped.
>>156561776
She and the ultimate curiosity of what turns Tiger mask from his revenge path are the only reason's i'm keeping up with this right now.
But the Miracles are damn entertaining, i'll give them that.
>>156563320
intial reaction: "they're going to rehash the miracle 3 character"
then they turn it into an entertaining stable.
>>156529895
Did the OP slightly change? I felt that they used different instruments, and the singer's voice wasn't in the same tone.
>>156531663
JUUUUNGLEEEEE NIIII. KYOU MO, ARASHI GA
>>156529895
Is there a wrestler stronger than The Third ?
>>156565391

Naoto still has a long way to go if he wants to defeat that freak.
>>156550015
>>156549563

Unless he mistakes Tiger the Dark's mask for Tiger Mask's

Vader was and still is pretty popular in the Japanese scene.
>>156552906
>>156554252
Vader was diagnosed with congestive heart failure basically he pushed himself too hard and the heart couldn't keep up and the doctors gave him 2 years to live before he dies of a heart attack.
I hear he's supposedly pretty close to Diamond Dallas Page now who is trying to help him.

>>156566880
No, he was the original Yellow Devil, a part of Tiger's Den. But he retired and is now training Naoto.
>>156531705
I stopped watching at episode 17 or so, does Haruna actually become a wrestler? Might pick it back up.
>>156569287
Only for like 2 matches but the one vs X Woman was great.

>>156541451
Tiger Mask II is basically a children show compared to the original
>>156543224
>essentially GWM/The Miracles by attacking The Third.
IIRC the match was already concluded, so Naoto was technically free from his contract
>>156553572
>freelance wrestler as he was before joining NJPW.
Naoto never joined NJWP.
He only joined a few series, but also joined series of GWM.
>>156555706
>but the only one that voices himself in the show is pic related
he's even getting better at it.
If he keeps this going, he might get a second job as a professional VA
>>156574984
The og was also a children manga. It even ran into a children's magazine (Bokura Magazine). The thing is that some censorship laws were made at the early 1980 because of the violence showcased in anime shows
>>156568913
He was the original Yellow Devil, but got turned good by the original Tiger Mask.
He started a career as Face under the name Ken Takaoka, but then the original Tiger The Great almost murdered him on the ring
>>156575351
absolutely true. Totally a kids show.
It still had murders on screen and tons, tons of blood.
>>156575351
Funny when you consider that the manga itself dealt with such censorship.
Tiger has a series of death matches with masked villains from Tiger's Den each with a new gimmick. The Golgotha death match which involved a spiked cross was so brutal that broadcasters refused to show Tiger Mask and he was forced to fight in town halls and the like.
>>156574073
>Roman will probably beat Braun tonight

>>156529895

But he was injured and put a great show anyway so that's fine
>>156533894
And yet still not as bad as last week.
>>156577620
was really expecting a surprise Naito but nope
fucking Yoshi-Hashi
Why the Kevin hate?
>>156579755
He was pretty unassuming until he went full yandere. You could make a "nicest guy you've ever met/twisted fucking psychopath" image with him after this episode, or maybe next week's thanks to that goofy smile.
>>156575438
>>156575933
There were different times though. Children manga until the late 70s could get their way because people was used to the post WWII scenario they were living. Since 1980 the concern about violence in shows in Japan started to arise. Tiger Mask II came after the laws were approved.
>>156581309
Was there a specific incident that caused that or did they just come to senses that a story like Violence Jack wasn't suited for preteen boys?
When is Kevin going to change his name to something cooler?
>>156583525
You mean something cooler like Miracle II?
>>156583597
>>156583525
Miracle KevinZa Second
>>156582016
The main culprit, believe or not, was Tomino. Zambot 3 and Mobile Suit Gundam were deemed as too violent. It was because of those anime the flags were raised (and that's why posterior anime shows between 1980 and mid 1981 were very watered down shws compared to former series. God Sigma, Tiger Mask II, GoLion and Trider G7 were the main affected series by that.
But then Urusei Yatsura came in and the concerning issues wshifted from the violence to other things.
>>156575024
unless Miss X pulls off another "read the fine print dummy!"
puts Tiger in one last match that he has to win before fighting TG3.
makes it Spring Tiger for her own amusement.
>>156583597
Kevin The Tiger Mask killer
>>156583835
I think this is going to be the case. Miss X will aproach Tiger Mask and say to him there's one match left before TG3
And said match is against Tiger The Dark,who is approached by Kentaro after his rehab exercises. i think Kentaro will train Takuma only to try to make Naoto "see the light"
>>156583835
It's going to be Naoto vs Takuma Rd. 3 if that's the case. I'm starting to think Takuma will start to train with Kentaro after his rehab, and the roles will be kind of reversed.
>>156584003
>>156584105
Haruna's going to be in Takuma's corner isn't she?
Will they be recreating the Savage-Elizabeth reunion? Naoto loses but gets the girl in the end?
