jiraiya_sensei said: Wow, I'm sorry but you just don't know anything about what happened or anything about wrestling in general. Let me refresh you, that is if your willing to listen.That was fucking cliche! An idol dance move? gathering power from the memories of her friends? seriously? I felt like I was watching some sentai or tokusatsu series. I'm also upset that Rio lost so easily, true she might have underestimated her but it just doesn't make sense that she can lose after a few punches and throws (I counted, she received less than Sakura) while those of her juniors can easily defeated Sakura. Yes, Sakura's special move is an idol dance move. But in wrestling, there are many wrestlers that use a strike technique as their finisher. Sakura didn't get any extra power from ANYTHING, this is a REALISTIC anime, it's just a special effect that made Sakura feel that her friends are with her. Do you know why Rio lost so "easily"? She tired herself out and wasted her stamina. Pressing the attack in wrestling is just as bad at times as being on the receiving end of the attack. Sakura planned all this and took and endured all of Rio's moves to tire her out and then attacked at the right moment, it doesn't matter at ALL if Rio took less blows then Sakura did, a match can be turned around in the other wrestler's favor easily. Sakura only lost to Rio's juniors was because she kept giving up to the pain rather then endure it. Want more of a refresher? Go back to episode 3 which had Misaki's match with that heavyweight wrestler and how Misaki endured everything from that cheating team and was so calm about it. Besides, a Backfilp double kick to the jaw would be enough to bring anyone down. |
| I can't believe it , this is the most enjoyable episode of SekTsuyo , wow just wow. This episode gave me this chills down to my spine , especially when all Sakura's face were shown when she was going to do her special move , shit awesome. Anyway , great episode looking for more episodes like this ! |

Has any another country been protected by multiple superheroes? Stand with me, friends! Remember when you used to watch your superheroes! Once you may have given up this dream. But today, you can be a hero!" - Kaname Jouji , Red Axe |
CybeastGregarX said: it's just a special effect that made Sakura feel that her friends are with her. That's exactly what I called "getting power" from her friends. Remembering your friends before using the finishing blow, you know what that reminds me of? the last battle between Sailor Moon and Queen Beryl. What about the moment when Sakura almost passed out and she regained consciousness right before the 3rd count when her fans and friends screamed her name? the fight was so god damn cliche, Rio never had the chance to win it in the first place. You call this anime realistic and claimed I don't know anything about wrestling lol.. this series treat every wrestling matches as a real (shoot) fight while in reality even NJPW's matches are scripted, no forget that.. even the holy grail of indy wrestling, ROH is scripted. Unless of course the wrestling organization in this series specialized in shoot matches only or they treat the wrestling matches like Olympic, which uses amateur or freestyle-type of wrestling. They clearly didn't though since the rules and moves used are that of "pro wrestling". And yes, I still standby that Rio lost too easily. She didn't lose because she tired herself out, she lost because the anime script called for it. I find it hard to believe that a light weight newbie like Sakura can endure multiple slams and even a freaking reverse clothesline from hell from a powerhouse like Rio and still stood up like it barely had any effect on her. Rio, being the seasoned and physically stronger wrestler, was groggy and lost consciousness after just a few holds and slams. Unless Sakura magically becomes stronger than Beth Phoenix in the middle of the match, I don't buy that. I might be wrong but I always get the impression that Rio is the type that's similar to Victoria, Jazz, or Jacqueline while Sakura is in Torrie Wilson's or Sunny's class. |

| Well she finely won one and it only took half of the anime to get it |
 |
| Nice episode actually but it's sad to know the improvement only happened halfway throughout this show. I dunno if the remaining episodes will squeeze this anime out of its very low rating. |

| Street Fight style. Nice kick! |

| Finally a clear win but I want her to go back being an idol !!! |
| So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old? I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them? I wonder how long people would put up with this. As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series. |
symbv said: Finally a clear win but I want her to go back being an idol !!! Me too, would be a perfect exit from the wrestling world with Rio being such a great sport about it. Full match was great to watch, was already impressed with them making her lose so much and creating a really depressing atmosphere but if she'd lost again that'd really be pushing it way too far. |
| Great fight. Grats to Sakura. The World Champion is gorgeous as all hell. Misaki's probably either going to lose, or she's the one with the broken leg ;___; And then Sakura will have to train and beat the Champion. Or, Elena will ditch Sweet Diva and go train to beat Sakura and force her to come back. Dumping your girlfriend like that isn't nice, Sakura. Both scenarios are bad anyways. Misaki ;___; <3 |
| sakura looked extra cute this episode lOL >w<d the display of good sports conduct + the background music was heartwarming |

| This was a fantastic episode, something the series really needed. Sakura finally won in an excellent way. |
| Good episode. It seems like there should be more serious injuries. |

| YAY :D She won ^^ |

| I admit, this ep really got me pumped! I'm very glad Sakura won and Kazama was a good sport afterwards. Looks like all the hardships and training paid off. I'm a little disappointed about her choice at the end but that's what this show is about. |
| Pretty solid episode, I think. Rio is still way cooler than Sakura. |
 |
| Guess what, I like this. I feel that I understand both wrestling and idol life a bit more, thanks to seeing both from a new perspective. |
| What's the point of all this? // There's no point. I'm doing it because I can. That's all there is to it. // What will be left behind after this? // Nothing at all. She'll die and I'll burn out. The end. That's all. (Requiem for the Phantom) |

| about fucking time but I can't take anymore boston crabs so this is as far as I go... |
 |
| Rio is a great sport! Second favorite character after Sakura. |
 張大です for 張大勇督察 |
| Damn, it's been 9 months since her match with Rio? 9 months of straught losing too. I'm amazed she didn't give up yet. Seems like Rio was a good sport about losing. She also decides not to come back to her idol group. I wonder what'll happen to the group. Elena seems like she didn;t like that one bit. Probably because that means she'll never be able to get a chance to beat her. |
| Jeez, I've never felt this hyped up about a wrestl an anime wrestling match since... this anime. Just lay off the boston crabs, I'm tired of them. |
 |
| Damn. That was a great episode. Had me cheering and all. You could see the fire in Sakura's eyes...literally. lol That double kick was sick. Well, the anime wasn't 6 episodes so had Sakura won, we knew what would happen. |
| If you see that my post is exactly 1 month old (or more) from when it was posted... Don't waste your time, especially when you want to reply with something petty & insignificant. Assume that I've moved on (because I have). |
| She did it*clap clap* |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Of course she won with that signature move. I did not know openly punching and kicking your opponent in the face is a thing in wrestling. |
