Whoa, Haruna got ripped. Putting on that yellow tiger mask was not something I had expected for someone like her to do. I think it takes guts to step into the right and I'm impressed that Haruna did.

The match was intense imo this episode too. (especially the suplexes)
I think she did pretty well too!

We've been waiting for this one between Miss X and Haruna. Probably the best match of the show so far.

Still sucked that Miss X getting injured was the reason she lost. Would've preferred Haruna to win moreso on merit. But maybe in a future episode.

Honestly, the women's wrestling is probably more interesting than the other aspects of the show. We haven't even seen Yellow Devil or Mr. X very much, so there's not a lot of strong build up there. Whereas, they've been taunting Miss X and Haruna from Day 1.

They actually handled the episode with some respect instead of just using it as fanservice bait. Quite a fun episode.

And honestly the last 3-4 episodes have been the highlight of the show, now it feels like the show has picked some steam.

So the best match in the show didn't even involve Tiger Mask. A few minutes (couldn't have been more than weeks of in-anime time, months at most?) of benching and Haruna's ripped and female pro wrestler level. Gotta admit she looked adorable in that mask though.
Sieg Zeon!

Excellent fight, hoping Haruna gets her own spinoff series.

This is the first time I heard the term 'Pujoshi'
If it holds the same meaning as Fujoshi then I'm definitely one of them LOL

And I've a hunch that we won't have clear conclusion even after 39th episode.
But to be continue or what depend solely on NJPW's sponsorship.
I wish Bushiroad decide to make it into super long anime just like they did to Vanguard and Buddyfight.

What are you saying? She caused that injury, that's like saying that a boxer won only because his opponent lost consciousness after getting punched in the head. What's more, she would have won earlier if it weren't for the teammate illegally getting in the ring and kicking her in the back.

This fight was the best we've had in a while. From the preview I was dreading a training montage and Haruna unrealistically getting ready in a couple of weeks, but instead it was a callback to that scene in one of the first episodes where she was shown training in secret.

No. I'm saying I would've preferred if Haruna went toe-to-toe and simply won by demonstrating a superior skillset rather than attacking the leg and surviving on the basis of that. If the other wrestler attacked, then Milk or Mint or whatever can interfere (just like when they interfered during their tag match and was brought down by the other GWM diva).

My point is it was already apparent Haruna was slightly more skilled, so I would've preferred her go all the way.

Expected a stupid filler episode with Haruna's epic fails and cheap fanservice shots, came out with an excellent, respectful match! This makes up for the previous two weeks!

Haruna kicked major ass and against Miss X of all people! That's like the best strike against her ego! You go girl!

But that's what she did. She put her in a bunch of complicated locks and was going to win before being kicked in the back. Then it happened a second time when she got kicked in the head. Finally she had to go out of the ring to stop the other girl while Mint finished the job.

Attacking the ankle just made it so that Miss X couldn't hold the position that one time. In the end she lost to a pindown that had nothing to do with her legs, so saying that she lost to an injury is inaccurate.

When Haruna first mentioned female wrestling I was hoping so hard that the show wasn't just teasing us and that she really would become a wrestler herself. I'm so happy the buildup paid off, this was such a cool match. Haruna's been my favorite character for a while, she's just so spunky, and seeing her get in the ring was the absolute best.

We might not get another match with Spring Tiger and Miss X, but I hope we do.

The love affair with Haruna by moe loving types is kinda pathetic tbh. Not saying she can't be someone's favorite or have a different taste but it seems you pasty weeabos keep pushing her down everyone's throats.

It's like STFU and go look at some hentai, you pussy.

All those cuts to the holds already in position was annoying. All in all though this episode was one of the better ones.

Am i the only one here like Miss X ? She's beautiful and i found her to be cute right now.

Kinda surprise with submission ability by Haruna. I'm not expecting her to be submission machine, but it's fit her so much. She still not have so much power and agility, but i feel she can be a good wrestler.

Um episódio para a Takaoka lutar foi muito satisfatório. A luta dela contra a Miss X feita de forma física dessa foi foi muito bom.
E aliás, Takaoka tem mó shape, rapaz. Parece a Mikasa.
