Lol those twin girls are funny, need more of them in the future.

Tiger Mask dosed in blood again...sigh. I guess he'll have to get used to this often.

The idol twins were amusing. I liked the arguing between them and female fans. The Gorilla was hilarious though, went into the ring with a scimitar. Thought it was an act when he entered, but turns out he's just a nutcase lmao

They are played by some run-out-of-mill idols without proper VA background. They are even worse than that girl which played Olga in One Piece special. This duo sounded manlier than some of the wreslers. Ruined whole episode for me.

You guys are way too used to the typical modern Japanese voice acting archetypes.

Aside from being untrained VAs (with probably wooden acting), plenty of Japanese women have voices that sound less high pitched.

Sounds like this show has been trying to focus more on 'realism' and going back to a time before the high pitched kawaii idol voices became an industry standard.


That said, it was a decent episode, though. Pretty funny with the upset fangirls and such. But it really does make you wonder when the actual plot of the series will pick up.

The worst episode... The draw was painful, but the worst was the plot, with the twins idols, with a voice of smoke too much :( grrr

Wakamatsu comes off as generic as home brand plain packaging.

Rikidozan reference was fitting. I felt I suffered as much as he did going through the idol drama storyline.

Didn't really care for this episode.

I thought those idols were actually guys.

definitely not an episode worth watching at all, the preview for it made it seem like tiger mask would team up to beat the idols up which would have made for a good episode. those Idols I swear they look like guys one more so than the other but nope there in fact girls what threw me off about them was everything their voices, behavior, their faces, their voices, again everything. I was really hopping that the Idols were spies from tiger den and were going to sabotage his match or matches and eventually lead up to a two vs. two match where we find out or it's revealed that they were guys all along (admit it you probably thought of something similar).

This is must be the most realistic episode in all Tiger Mask franchise, including the 1969 series.... :D

As a guy from Dubai, I assure you that we do not look ar act as that Gorilla guy. I mean seriously Japan... I know you're not the most sensitive country out there and you don't shy from foreign stereotypes in your anime, but get with the times once in a while. Abdullah the Butcher was a better image than this!

In another topic, when I saw the preview of this episode I thought we're getting something like Sekai de Ichiban Tsuyoku Naritai! with idol wrestling. Didn't hate the twin, but they were annoying to say the least.

WTF was this? Some really weak idols named after food, poor voice acting and stupid lousy fights... I was hoping to see that those idols are actually wrestlers... I hope that the next episode about the original Tiger Mask will be a lot better.

The two twin idols really exist in real life:







Sponsored filler episode, NJPW commercials, Toei animation must've hit so rock bottom that needs to turn to these strategies in order to live on.

Producers seem to know very well how this episode was useless, so next one will be about Naoto Date and tied to the original anime, just to make us forgive them.

Man, this episode was a serious disappointment after last week's. Aside from the idol stuff, and Indian stereotype Tiger Jeet Singh being turned into UAE stereotype Gorilla Jeet Singh, are we supposed to believe that Wakamatsu isn't simply green in the ring but rather legitimately stupid? I mean, losing a pinfall because he tired himself out by doing the same move over 5 dozen times? Not even the most simple-minded backyard wrestlers would be that stupid.

Just an all around bad episode.

Oh yeah, and of course, Tiger Suplex Count this episode: 1

LMAO @ the stereotyping. I mean I get an Indian guy from Dubai could get into pro wrestling but the costume & scimitar were too much.

Worst episode so far. Okada as the deus ex machina was pretty cringeworthy and the way the crowd changed their mind wasn't believable at all.l

That episode didn't make any sense. Kind of fun though.

Also pretty sure the idols are traps; comedy oriented, sounds like guys, even looks like guys, yeah traps. The only girl that even remotely sounds like them is the girl voicing Conan and she's something of an exception.

That was bizarre, but I liked the references. Is Nagata old enough to have witnessed Rikidozan while he was still alive?

I just realized this anime needs Kenny Omega badly. We've also yet to see Naito.

Why is Wakamatsu a running gag now? I actually like his design and he can be an underdog cute character.
He's perfect husbando material on the outside, but he's too bland.
