8. International Princess Title Tournament – Final: Yuki Kamifuku defeated Hikari Noa with the Diving Fame Asser (7:56). *Yuki Kamifuku becomes the 5th International Princess Champion!
9. Princess Tag Team Titles: Nodoka Tenma & Yuki Aino defeated Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe (c) when Aino pinned Watanabe with the UBV (17:01). *Daydream fails in V5. The Bakuretsu Sisters become the 6th Princess Tag Team Champions!
10. Princess Of Princess Title: Yuka Sakazaki (c) defeated Mizuki with the Magical Girl Niwatori Yaro (25:37). *V4 for Yuka Sakazaki.
In the fated battle between The Magical Sugar Rabbits, it was Yuka Sakazaki who came out on top! Mizuki’s new Whirling Candy move wasn’t enough to win her the Princess Of Princess Title. Instead it was Sakazaki’s ultra move, the Magical Girl Niwatori Yaro that ensured she held onto the championship. With tears in their eyes, both wrestlers hugged each other after the match before the belt was handed over to Sakazaki. It is a clear sign that they are still close and their team will continue. A rare sight in pro wrestling.
Sakazaki said there was so much love coming from the fans who came to support Tokyo Joshi Pro today. She will give it her all because she loves it and is determined not to lose. She was so focused on her match today that she couldn’t watch the other matches. But when the other wrestlers would come backstage from the ring, she could see their faces sparkling with happiness. The entire roster was brought into the ring to celebrate. Sakazaki said the TJPW roster is changing but she hopes everyone who gathers here will have fun. She looks forward to working with them for many years to come! Mizuki was still crying and told Sakazaki she wanted to go eat hamburger steak. Everyone cheered “Happy Happy” and soap bubbles fell down around them. They then lined up on the stage and thanked everyone for coming today.
Daydream’s year long reign as the Princess Tag Team Champions has come to an end. The Bakuretsu Sisters finally lay claim to the belts on their fourth attempt together. Yuki Aino saved Nodoka Tenma from the Daydream Eternity. From there Tenma gave Rika Tatsumi the Killswitch to get rid of her. Miu Watanabe had the power to keep fighting until Aino put her away with the UBV. Tatsumi said backstage she feels empty without having the white belts anymore. But she also advised Watanabe to stay calm and take time to think about the defeat because Daydream is not finished yet. For the Sisters, they finally climbed the mountain and couldn’t do it without each other. The Bakuretsu Era begins and they want to defend the titles as many times they want!
The vacant International Princess Title now has a champion again. It’s Yuki Kamifuku and it is well deserved too! In the final of the tournament, she faced off against Hikari Noa. Already tired from wrestling earlier, Kamifuku and Noa left nothing to chance. A Double Chop followed by a Dropkick gave Kamifuku an opening to climb the top rope. She hit the Diving Fame Asser to win her first championship! There isn’t a wrestler out there who she is modelling herself after. She wants fans to think she’s cool by being herself. Her goal is to make the championship a symbol for cool, happy, fun girls. She speaks English so she can spread the word around the world that Tokyo Joshi wrestlers are such pretty Japanese people.
Aja Kong and Sareee were both welcomed back for another visit to TJPW. Kong had Maki Itoh waiting for her while Saree was eager to get into exchanges with Miyu Yamashita. The finish involved the two TJPW regulars. Sareee cut Yamashita off giving Itoh chances to use Headbutts. That lead went away after a High Kick and the Attitude Adjustment. Yamashita then ended the match with the Crash Rabbit Heat. Kong said she was happy to return here and is grateful the TJPW fanbase likes her. She told Sareee to “remove her limiter” when she got in the ring with Yamashita because she wanted to see Yamashita do the same. Kong is amazed by her kicking accuracy. She would like to come back next year. Itoh was annoyed that Sareee couldn’t crush Kong and come save her from getting beat. They still get along though because they’re almost the same age and probably would have been in the same grade together if they went to the same school. Sareee would like to wrestle Yamashita again but she also wants to fight Itoh.
A button was brought down to the ring for the Hyper Misao Vs Saki Akai match. Whenever somebody pressed the button, the rules for the match would change into a random stipulation. Before the match began she told the story of when she discovered pro wrestling by going to a DDT Street Wrestling show in 2014. She saw Akai taking part and was inspired by watching her fighting against men, completely turning standard values upside down. So today Misao came up with this match to flip Akai’s values upside down too. Daisuke Kiso pressed the button to start the match. The first rule was the match could not be won with kicking moves. Akai had already kicked Misao in the face when the rule came up so she wasn’t allowed to pin her afterwards. Akai pressed the button and the next rule was pins would not be counted unless the wrestlers spun in circles over a standing baseball bat five times. This left both of them dizzy after several series of spins and pin attempts. The next rule was Falls Count Anywhere as long as they ate from a bag of chocolate. Misao distracted the referee and emptied her chocolate into Akai’s bag. But Akai pressed the button and got a rule that allowed helpers to come down and get involved. Yukio Sakaguchi entered the ring to help Akai! Misao waited for her helper and got Sanshiro Takagi! It went wrong for both sides because Takagi accidentally Clotheslined Misao and Sakaguchi accidentally hit Akai with a Knee Kick. The men focused on fighting each other while the women pressed the button for the last rule. Last Woman Standing! Misao reversed the Quetzalcoatl into the Vanitas but missed the I Am A Hero. The Hyper Gotham Crash was also stopped and Misao was weakened with the Rookie Award. Seeing her chance to win, Akai hit the Quetzalcoatl and Misao couldn’t answer the 10 count, ending the match with a knockout.
When Yuna Manase asked Raku for a Handshake at the start of their match, Raku pretended to fall asleep. Manase complained to Yukinori Matsui but he fell asleep too. She stomped on him to wake him up. Raku took the match seriously by kicking out of the Suzuki Dynamic but she was immediately pinned with a Short Range Lariat afterward. Backstage Manase said the appeal of TJPW is that the matches are bright and fun. She hopes Raku get strong enough to chase after a title soon. Raku described Manase like an older sister who used to live with her but then moved out to go live in Tokyo.
Kamifuku’s path to win the International Princess Title begun today with a major upset over Shoko Nakajima. While Nakajima still wants to challenge for the IP Title, she realises after losing to her kohai that she still has to grow in strength.
Noa had a challenging victory over Mirai Maiumi in her semi-final. Maiumi had plenty of submissions to counter Noa’s Suplexes so Noa had to switch to using the Super Kick. That move weakened Maiumi enough for Noa to pin her with a bridging Blizzard Suplex. Maiumi regrets losing but said this is only the beginning of a new landscape that she will create.
Pom Harajuku & Mahiro Kiryu defeated Marika Kobashi & Haruna Neko but the result was so close to being the opposite. Neko had Kiryu beat with the Codebreaker but Harajuku broke the count. Kobashi got rid of her and Neko went for another Codebreaker. This time Kiryu caught her and hit a Spinebuster to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat.
The opening match was Mei Suruga’s TJPW debut. She teamed with the rookie Moka Miyamoto in a losing effort to Suzume & Sena Shiori. For the winners it was a big confidence boost to win inside a big venue. Suruga hopes she picked up some new fans and they will come watch ChocoPro or Gatoh Move.
A new trainee named Arisu Endo introduced herself. She comes from Cheer♥1, the same idol group that produced Reika Saiki. She promised to do her best to debut as soon as possible.
Freelancer Nao Kakuta will regularly appear in Tokyo Joshi beginning 14th November. She told the fans she would like to become someone who can liven up the TJPW ring. She wanted to come here because everyone is cute and have their own clear characters. She sees how much everyone in TJPW loves pro wrestling and it makes her want to get involved.
Four dates at Korakuen Hall in 2021 were announced. The shows will take place on 4th January, 11th February, 17th April and 4th May. “WRESTLE PRINCESS II” will also be held at Ota Ward Gymnasium on 9th October, 2021.
Sakisama returns for a one-off appearance on 14th November. Hyper Misao will face Super Sasadango Machine on 20th November.
Kendo Kashin was spotted inside the venue during the show. He threatened to crash the show during the week looking for Takagi. Presumably he wants to challenge him for the DDT Extreme Title.

So DAMNATION seems to be split into two right now. There is the #DAMNHEARTS side led by Tetsuya Endo and there is the Daisuke Sasaki side that has Hiroshi Yamato as the only other member. What would Puma King think of this?
Shinya Aoki comes to ALL OUT’s aid in their fight against Junretsu.
BASARA “BASARA 137 ~GLITTER~”, 27/10/2020 Shin-Kiba 1st RING

6. IRON FIST TAG Titles: Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga (c) Vs Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Daichi Kazato
Yesterday, SAGAT lost for the first time as a Sparky member when his former ally Yusuke Kubo pinned him. The chance to avenge that loss comes later this month.
BASARA “BASARA 138 ~THE 6TH FOX PRINCE~”, 31/10/2020 Tokyo Oji BASEMENT MON☆STAR
1. Ryota Nakatsu Vs Tetsuo Usui
2. SAGAT Vs Takato Nakano
3. 4 Way Match: Fuminori Abe Vs Takumo Tsukamoto Vs Masato Kamino Vs Yasu Urano
4. Elimination 8-Man Tag Match: Isami Kodaka, Ryuichi Sekine, Daiki Shimomura & Minoru Fujita Vs FUMA, Yusuke Kubo, Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Daichi Kazato
One less match than usual because all of Sento Minzoku is facing The Iron Family (plus Daichi Kazato). Also Gouma Ryu will be absent from the show so no trial shenanigans either.
DDT “ULTIMATE PARTY 2020”, 03/11/2020 Tokyo Ota Ward Gymnasium
1. MAO Return Battle: MAO Vs Shunma Katsumata
2. Danshoku Dieno Vs Akito
3. DDT Extreme Title – Weapon Rumble: Shinya Aoki (c) Vs Sanshiro Takagi
4. DDT UNIVERSAL Title: Chris Brookes (c) Vs Yuki Ueno
5. Special Tag Match – HarashiMarafuji Vs CimaSoma: HARASHIMA & Naomichi Marufuji Vs CIMA & Soma Takao
6. Special Single Match: Jun Akiyama Vs Konosuke Takeshita
7. KO-D Openweight Title: Tetsuya Endo (c) Vs Daisuke Sasaki
Chris Brookes defended the DDT UNIVERSAL Title against one half of Nautilus so now he takes on the other half. Yuki Ueno took offence to Brookes calling Naomi Yoshimura weak after beating him. Ueno then took more offence when Brookes suggested he is weaker than Yoshimura. He wants to shut Brookes up and take his title. Might even end up becoming a triple crown champion along with the two tag titles when all is said and done
The motivation levels for Akito and Danshoku Dieno seem to be going in opposite directions this year. Akito’s has been rising to the point where he became a Vice President of CyberFight. Dieno is still able to come up with ideas but has he passed his creative peak? A match between the two will provide a barometer for where both will stand in DDT.
The participants for the 2021 D-Ou Grand Prix will be revealed on this show.
TOKYO JOSHI PRO “WRESTLE PRINCESS”, 07/11/2020 Tokyo Dome City Hall
1. International Princess Title Tournament – Semi Final: X Vs X
2. International Princess Title Tournament – Semi Final: X Vs X
3. Hyper Misao Vs Saki Akai
4. Princess Tag Team Titles: Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe (c) Vs Nodoka Tenma & Yuki Aino
5. International Princess Title Tournament – Final: X Vs X
6. Princess Of Princess Title: Yuka Sakazaki (c) Vs Mizuki
The first two semi-finalists in the International Princess Title tournament are Shoko Nakajima and Mirai Maiumi.
Saki Akai only wrestles in Tokyo Joshi Pro once or twice a year because DDT is her priority. For her 2020 appearance she will face Hyper Misao in a first time singles meeting. They were on opposite sides of a tag match once in 2015 but I think that may have been retconned into Akai getting replaced by Sakisama for some reason. Oh and there was also the storyline with that Saki Akamiya girl. Whatever happened to her? But enough about that.
Yuna Manase will be on the show. This will be her first appearance in Tokyo Joshi since leaving the promotion back in July. Look at her getting to wrestle everywhere!
TOKYO JOSHI PRO “FALL TOUR ’20 ~WOMM (WRESTLING OF MY MIND)~”, 10/10/2020 Kitazawa Town Hall ??? Fans – Withheld
1. Nodoka Tenma defeated Moka Miyamoto with the WAR Special (6:50).
2. 3 Way Match: Hikari Noa defeated Hyper Misao and Sena Shiori when Noa pinned Shiori with the Rotating Leg Lock Hold (6:05).
3. International Princess Title Tournament – Round 1: Mirai Maiumi defeated Mahiro Kiryu with the Miramare (8:42).
4. International Princess Title Tournament – Round 1: Shoko Nakajima defeated Raku with the Northern Lights Suplex (10:25).
5. Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe defeated Yuki Aino & Pom Harajuku when Watanabe pinned Aino after the Daydream Eternity (14:08).
6. Yuka Sakazaki, Mizuki & Suzume defeated Miyu Yamashita, Maki Itoh & Haruna Neko when Sakazaki submitted Neko with an Omoplatta (10:48).
There were hurt feelings between Yuka Sakazaki and Mizuki at the end of the show. During the main event, Sakazaki ran in to save Mizuki from a charging Miyu Yamashita. This made Mizuki upset and she asked Sakazaki why she helped her? Mizuki doesn’t want to rely on Sakazaki forever because she can handle these things by herself. She still has fun teaming with Sakazaki but the more it happens the more she sees how strong Sakazaki really is. Mizuki left the ring alone with Sakazaki and Suzume both looking confused by her behavior.
Daydream used their Canadian Backbreaker/Neckbreaker double team move to beat Yuki Aino. The Princess Tag Team Champions are already feeling in great shape after beating one of The Bakuretsu Sisters. They won’t be scared going up against both of them.
The first two matches in the International Princess Title tournament sees Shoko Nakajima and Mirai Maiumi going through to the semi finals. Nakajima overcame some hide and seek tactics from Raku. Maiumi defeated Mahiro Kiryu with the Chickenwing Armlock. She is now calling that move the Miramare.
Hyper Misao interviewed both of her opponents in the 3 Way Match to find out what they thought of each other. When one wasn’t being interviewed they listened to music on a headset so they wouldn’t hear what was said about her. Both Hikari Noa and Sena Shiori had nothing but positive things to say about each other. However, Misao then made them do a quiz about each other. Noa didn’t know what Shiori’s favourite food was. Misao also lied to Shiori, telling her Noa said she could beat her in 5 seconds. The match went 2 Vs 1 until Misao betrayed Shiori with a School Boy nearfall. In the end Noa got the win by pinning Shiori.
Saki Akai Vs Hyper Misao was announced for “WRESTLE PRINCESS” on 7th November. Also Yuna Manase will be on the show for her first appearance in Tokyo Joshi Pro since joining Ganbare☆Pro.
The Magical Sugar Rabbits will release a photobook together at “WRESTLE PRINCESS”.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “LIVE WITH YOUR TIME”, 21/09/2020 Tokyo Shinagawa The Grand Hall ??? Fans – Withheld
1. Pom Harajuku defeated Moka Miyamoto with the Pom Do Justice (5:16).
2. 3 Way Match: Hyper Misao defeated Raku and Himawari Unagi when Misao pinned Raku with La Magistral Cradle (6:13).
3. Yuki Kamifuku, Mina Shirakawa & Mahiro Kiryu defeated Nodoka Tenma, Yuki Aino & Haruna Neko when Kamifuku pinned Neko with the Fame Asser (11:49).

5. Special Tag Match: Yuka Sakazaki & Shoko Nakajima Vs Mizuki & Maki Itoh ended in a Time Limit Draw (20:00).
6. Natsumi Maki defeated Hikari Noa with a German Suplex (9:42).
7. Princess Tag Team Titles: Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe (c) defeated Mirai Maiumi & Suzume when Tatsumi pinned Suzume with the Missile Hip (18:20) *V4 for Daydream.
The challengers went into the Princess Tag Team Titles match with a new name. Mirai Maiumi & Suzume are now BeeStar. Now they just need to get some more experience teaming together because Daydream had them figured out. Miu Watanabe showed her strength by Double Body Slamming BeeStar then later getting rid of Maiumi with the Tear Drop. Suzume fought back against Rika Tatsumi but she was put away with the Twist Of Fate followed by the Missile Hip.
Tatsumi said the challengers were tougher than she imagined but Daydream was able to score their 4th title defence. She wants to do more defences so she called out any of the Tokyo Joshi Pro roster to be passionate enough to take the chance, no matter their ability or experience level. Mahiro Kiryu came out and said she felt disappointed to see two juniors working harder than her. So she wants to challenge for the titles with Yuki Kamifuku as her partner! However, The Bakuretsu Sisters then came out also wanting the title shot. Nodoka Tenma referred to Kamifuku & Kiryu as The Sorcerer Hunters. Then Yuki Aino explained how she and Tenma already challenged for the belts back in January. They failed to win but they have become stronger since then. Tatsumi suggested the two teams to fight each other and the winners can get the title match.
There is still a little bit of time left on their contracts but today Tokyo Joshi says goodbye to Natsumi Maki and Mina Shirakawa. For Maki her final TJPW match was against her Pandemic Boo-Boo partner Hikari Noa. Maki wanted to make the match special which is why she won with the German Suplex instead of the Backlash. Although Noa lost, she was happy for them to fight together until the very end. Noa said she will take advantage of the bad qualities that Maki thought her to shake up TJPW.
No winner could be determined between The Miraclians and the Itoh Respect Army. The Magical Girl Splash was blocked by Maki Itoh but Shoko Nakajima took her out with the Rider Kick. In the final minutes Yuka Sakazaki and Mizuki went back and forth with Mizuki even hitting her new Rolling Body Attack. Sakazaki countered a Facelock into a Cradle for a nearfall in the final seconds and the time ran out afterwards.
Shirakawa’s final match with TJPW was on the winning team in a trios bout. Kamifuku promised to continue doing her best in Tokyo Joshi for Shirakawa. If she ever has a painful or lonely night, Kamifuku is always there for her on LINE. Shirakawa said she was worried if she would ever be accepted in TJPW because she wasn’t raised in the company. But she got along kindly with everyone and felt like part of the group. She will grow as a wrestler even more by using what she learned in TJPW over the last two years.
Hyper Misao had two announcements to make. The first was that Misao, Raku and Himawari Unagi are the Hyper Good Night Wasshoi Festival. They have been working together since August and have now come up with the name. The second announcement was the Hyper Good Night Wasshoi Festival is splitting up after today’s match. Unagi asked for one last celebration in the ring to make up for all the summer festivals getting cancelled. The three danced to “Summer Festival” by Whiteberry until it broke into a proper wrestling match.
At the beginning of the show, Marika Kobashi showed up to announce she will return to wrestling on 3rd October. She took a break from TJPW a year and a half ago to study for her university entrance exams. She was supposed to return during the Spring but it was held off because of the Coronavirus. Now she is able to come back and this time she is wrestling as a college student!
The annual 4th January show in Korakuen Hall is confirmed to be happening again in 2021.
The Up Up Girls have a new song called “Three Years In The Ring ~All Along The Way~”.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO PRINCESS CUP FINAL”, 29/08/2020 Shinjuku FACE ??? Fans – Withheld
1. Nodoka Tenma, Yuki Aino & Mina Shirakawa defeated Hyper Misao, Raku & Himawari Unagi when Tenma pinned Unagi with the Killswitch (7:51).
2. Tokyo Princess Cup – Semi Final: Mizuki defeated Maki Itoh with the Cutie Special (12:59).
3. Tokyo Princess Cup – Semi Final: Shoko Nakajima defeated Miyu Yamashita with an Inside Cradle (15:34).
4. Yuka Sakazaki, Mirai Maiumi & Sena Shiori defeated Yuki Kamifuku, Mahiro Kiryu & Haruna Neko when Sakazaki pinned Kiryu with the Magical Magical Girl Splash (12:15).
5. Rika Tatsumi, Miu Watanabe & Suzume defeated Natsumi Maki, Hikari Noa & Pom Harajuku when Watanabe pinned Harajuku with the Tear Drop (10:26).
6. Tokyo Princess Cup – Final: Mizuki defeated Shoko Nakajima with the Cutie Special (16:23).
Mizuki win the Tokyo Princess Cup for the second year in a row! Due to shows being cancelled due to the Coronavirus, the semi-finals were pushed back to the same day as the final. Mizuki met Shoko Nakajima in the final. Nakajima immediately went for a Topé Suicida but Mizuki got out of the way and Yuka Sakazaki took the dive at ringside instead. Mizuki then hit a Diving Foot Stomp and a Diving Body Press to the outside. Mizuki later stopped the Diving Senton from happening so she could do the Avalanche Cutie Special. Nakajima almost won with the Northern Lights Suplex but Mizuki kicked out and took back control with a Codebreaker. She weakened her opponent with more Double Stomps until finally winning with the Cutie Special.
Mizuki hugged Sakazaki after receiving the trophy. She thanked everyone for supporting her and excitedly told Sakazaki she won over and over. She then said she wants to have a match against Sakazaki because she is still ahead of her as the Princess Of Princess Champion. Sakazaki said that would be a good match and a miracle title match needs to take place in a miracle venue. Sakazaki Vs Mizuki for the Princess Title will happen main event “WRESTLE PRINCESS” at Tokyo Dome City Hall on 7th November! They hugged again and closed out the show together.
Nakajima ended Miyu Yamashita’s miracle run in the Princess Cup. The focus was on the Northern Lights Suplex. Yamashita kicked out of it once and resisted being given the move a second time but Nakajima turned it into a Small Package to get the three count. Yamashita said she is disappointed she lost to Nakajima and go eliminated from the tournament. She now knows her own weaknesses and will have do something about it. She wonders if she is still too naive over her obsession to win and has to figure out how to shine and become stronger.
Mizuki had to fight past Maki Itoh in a meeting of the original Itoh Respect Army. Itoh got a nearfall with a Swinging DDT then went for the Itoh Special. Mizuki fought out of it and caught Itoh in the Cutie Special for the victory. Itoh declined to shake hands after the match. She instead gave Mizuki the middle finger. This one was out of respect. At least I think it was supposed to be. Backstage Itoh said today’s defeat was the biggest shame of the year. The only solution is to get stronger. In the beginning she just tried to fight her best but Itoh has outgrown that mindset. It’s too tacky for her. That is why Itoh is going to fight the way she wants to fight from now on.

An unnamed member of the Tokyo Joshi Pro roster who was not at today’s show tested positive in a PCR exam for COVID-19. She is currently being treated and has no worrying symptoms to report at this time. For the entire roster’s safety, tomorrow’s show in Kanda Myojin Hall and the Itabashi Green Hall show on the 22nd have been cancelled. The person had not been in close contact with DDT wrestlers so today’s DDT show went ahead as scheduled as will tomorrow’s BOYZ show. However, Daisuke Kiso will not work those events because he was on the TJPW show.
Hyper Misao was so thankful for the fan support she got from beating Yuka Sakazaki last week. To prove how important the Tokyo Princess Cup is for her, she gathered together her most important weapons and emptied them in the ring to show Miyu Yamashita they will have a fair fight. Yamashita saw through her plan and blocked the attempted Cold Spray attack. However, Misao had a second can and froze her opponent for a nearfall. Misao used the spray again outside the ring and rolled Yamashita up in the ring apron. Yamashita avoided the countout and tackled Misao while still wrapped up in the apron. Misao used an exposed turnbuckle for another advantage but Yamashita kicked her away. She blocked the Vanitas, hit the Attitude Adjustment and won with the Crash Rabbit Heat. Could this finally be Yamashita’s year to win the tournament?
Meeting Yamashita in the semi-final will be Shoko Nakajima. Her win over Natsumi Maki means Maki will have to wait even longer for her next rematch with Yamashita. Nakajima did the Northern Lights Suplex but couldn’t hold on the bridge for the pin. She corrected that by doing a Double Arm DDT and then the Diving Senton for the victory.
Over on the other side of the bracket, Maki Itoh reached her career best in the tournament, advancing to the semi final over Miu Watanabe. Itoh blocked the Laserbeam strike with a Headbutt then hit the Flying Big Head. Rather than go for the pin, Itoh hit a second Flying Big Head to ensure Watanabe would not kick out.
Waiting for Itoh in the semi final is last year’s winner Mizuki. That means the former Itoh Respect Army explodes! Mizuki used an Avalanche Cutie Special on Yuki Aino but was too damaged to pin her straight away. Aino recovered and hit the Venus DDT. She went for the UBV but Mizuki countered it with a Casadora and a Double Stomp. She hit the standard Cutie Special to put Aino away.
The Tokyo Princess Cup semi final matches are Mizuki Vs Maki Itoh and Shoko Nakajima Vs Miyu Yamashita. They were supposed to take place tomorrow but they will have to be rescheduled over the sudden cancellation. Should everything be okay after testing then the next show on the calendar is the final itself on 29th August. They can easily do the semi finals and final on the same show if they have to.

Over on the other side of the bracket, Natsumi Maki and Shoko Nakajima promises to be frantic. Finally Miyu Yamashita’s meets the biggest reminder of her Princess Cup curse. Hyper Misao’s upset over Yamashita back in 2016 is what cemented this jinx in the first place. But did Misao use up all her luck knocking out Yuka Sakazaki?
