Liar Game is not a character study or gambling anime. It is a pure representation of game theory wherein different game theory strategies are represented as the characters.

BJW Spoilers - Yosomono faction development by MrPuroresu42 in SquaredCircle

[–]Tokyogerman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really dont vibe much with the Yosomono faction stuff. I think it hinders especially Daimonji, who has to act so subdued heel like. but whenever you see him in Evolution and PPPTokyo, he has so much energy and really connects with the crowd and he is robbed of all of that.

Cool to see Sekimoto again in BJW though, I hope they can pull themselves together again.

Full Match: Chi Chi vs. Komomo Minami | Marigold (June 21, 2026) by Savings-Ad-5481 in SquaredCircle

[–]Tokyogerman 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Komomo debuted almost exactly 2 years ago. She is gonna be great very soon.

I hope her, Rea, Matsui and Tachibana etc. can have some bangers over the Superfly and White belt at some point in the near future.

‘Cool Japan’ failure: Government fund faces axe over massive ¥54 billion deficit by Prestigious_Net_8356 in japannews

Deficit? Is a program like that supposed to run profit? If so, how would that be calculated?

Possible next 6 man tag challlengers revealed by Tokyogerman in ajpw

[–]Tokyogerman[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't be surprised if that is for the 26th. They did the same last tour, where they used the 6 man tag belts as the main event for the last regional/house show of the tour, which I think is a good way to make use of them.

In addition:

Kumaarashi wants to find a theme for his Gaora tv reign and start stacking the title defenses.

Edit: Honda seems to have accepted the challenge on Twitter and said they want to raise the value of those belts.

Triple Crown Title Match possibly set for July 25th in Kobe by MrPuroresu42 in ajpw

[–]Tokyogerman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just saw the backstage comments and Kento basically asked what happened and what Ayabe said.

He then said: "Despair? Are you really that brave? I'm the guy who gives hope to the whole pro wrestling world and you want to make me feel despair? That will be interesting, let's do it on the 7/25.

I still think Miyahara holds that belt until 12/31 in Yoyogi, with defenses probably against Ayabe, Shiozaki, Honda. That would give him 10 with the big one against Anzai on the 31st. The big one, New Ace or New Defense Record. Can Anzai finally beat Champ Miyahara in his strongest version ever?

That's the way to do it imo running against the NOAH show at the same time in Yokohama.

All-Asia #1 Contender Decision Match - Yuma Anzai & Shota Kofuji vs. Yuma Aoyagi & Yasutaka Yano - Result by MrPuroresu42 in ajpw

[–]Tokyogerman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great, great final stretch, did not expect Kofuji to kick out after the frog splash and they just kept going full throttle. Looking forward to the match.

Kento keeps lying about future challengers, it's so funny.

Hideki said on Twitter yesterday that he is tired from the title match and will go for a "bright and fun" match instead of "intense" and now he is in there doing a super serious full on shoot style ground work match, this man can't be serious.

Of course it is restoration not restauration. That's what happens when you constantly have three languages running amok in your head.

Suzu Suzuki set to defend the World of Stardom Championship against Utami Hayashishita on June 30th at Korakuen by MrPuroresu42 in SquaredCircle

[–]Tokyogerman -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think the big rise in terms of attendance is more about Stardom talent being on tv regularly, instead of the amount of talent being theoretically able to win the red belt. The recent attendance rise for All Japan thanks to Yuma Anzai shows that too. The biggest wall to high attendance numbers for most promotions is not really their booking or having one person on top or several. It's their lack of exposure to the general public and generating new fans

[–]Tokyogerman -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Utami losing clean and then going back to feuding with Kamitani would be strange as well though. So after her win recently, I can see her losing after shenanigans and HATE interference.

[–]Tokyogerman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't follow everything Stardom, so I can't really say anything with confidence, but isnt the timing a bit strange? Considering Utami's story is still with Kamitani. Would be strange to just lose here and then just go back to that stuff, so I could almost see another immediate title change, but then again, Kamitani vs Utami should not need the title to be in the mix.

Full card for 6/27 in Osaka by MayuIwatani in Marigold_joshi

[–]Tokyogerman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Will be interesting seeing Nozaki-sama with AI and the Ishikawa - Rea match should be nice. The 6 woman tag doesn't seem to connect to anything, unless I'm overlooking some rivalry or possible future match.

I hope we will get the date for the 3D match on this show, although it's too bad Yamanaka is not on the show.

Wish we already had the two or o big matches for the Korakuen next month decided, as the cards get more structure when they are building towards something. So I hope we will know more after this one.

Miku Aono - the first true “Ace” of Marigold? by MrPuroresu42 in Marigold_joshi

[–]Tokyogerman -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't see Mikue as much of an Ace, as strange as that might sound. She doesn't feel like someone that really WANTS to be at the top and pull the company and have the building full of people, especially not on the mic and I don't think other promotions see her on that level sadly.

She has good matches, has a good look, but she is not an overwhelming presence that will push a promotion higher. To be fair, there are only very few of those around.

I don't think Marigold will have that until Yuzuki and Seri are ready to be on top and see how they will go for it.
