The Queen of Villains (2024) s01e05 Episode Script

1
Sorry about that. Just gimme
a minute and I'll slaughter and pluck it.
Oh, wait!
We'd really prefer it as is, if you could.
Huh?
Just like that.
With the Osaka Tournament
taking place
just one week
after the Budokan Tournament,
these women feel very strongly
that they'd like to settle
their differences in a singles match.
That's why,
at the Osaka-Jo Hall main event,
you'll see which one gets the glory,
and which woman
ends up getting their head shaved bald.
-Oh!
-The loser shaves her head?
They agreed to this big match for us,
which is great.
It's really appreciated.
This will be a fierce fight,
with the loser shaving her head.
Are you willing to commit fouls
to win this, Nagayo?
No. I have no intention
of stooping to her level in the fight.
Asuka and I invented a style
that rivals men's pro-wrestling.
-That's how I'll
-Come on, what the hell is that, huh?
Huh? Getting cocky?
-Nagayo, you idiot!
-It's a serious occasion, sit down!
Hey. All you guys had better look forward
to seeing her bald head, all right?
Out of the way, move! Coming!
What the hell is this?
This is dead already.
They wouldn't give us a live one.
-I'm sorry!
-Nagayo.
This bird here's you. Take a look.
A chicken, yeah?
-Oh my God.
-Now watch. This here is Nagayo, right?
Watch it now.
Following along?
Nagayo.
Your hair isn't the only thing
I'll be taking.
I'll take your life in the fight too!
Don't get too confident ♪
No way you're gonna win ♪
Stop your whining over me ♪
Your opinions I don't need ♪
Better be careful ♪
Enter, Dump the Heel ♪
Loud enough to drown your prayers ♪
God can't hear you anymore ♪
This is my bloodthirsty anthem ♪
Evil to the core ♪
It's too late to run ♪
It's the end, your time has come ♪
-Here they come! ♪
-Dump the Heel ♪
-Here they come! ♪
-Dump the Heel ♪
-Here they come! ♪
-Die, you bastard! ♪
Please, Mr. President, sir,
I really do need your help here.
So in Osaka,
you want it rigged so Chigusa wins?
Yes.
Some folks at my company
think it's too harsh
to show a shaved-head sort of deathmatch
in that time slot.
But if we can guarantee
there's a happy ending where Chigusa wins,
they'll agree to show the fight.
Plus Chigusa's in a musical
that's filming in the fall.
And her drama's still being filmed,
you know.
There'll be no continuity
if she suddenly comes to set
with a shaved head.
We really need your agreement
on this or there'll be serious trouble.
It could lead to our relationship
with your company abruptly ending.
-Are the Crush Gals here?
-Look at this car! Oh my gosh!
Chigusa? Is it hers?
Ah, so you bought a car? Nice.
A dump truck might have
put you in the headlines, though.
What did you wanna say?
Hmm?
No big deal. Just a little thing.
You wanna ask me to lose, right?
Wait, wait, wait.
Wait, wait, wait! Just wait!
If you don't let Chigusa win,
they won't broadcast the fight.
And it's not like I expect
you to lose for free here.
Huh?
I'd seriously kill for this kind of cash.
One, two, three. That's seven zeros.
-For real?
-Yeah, for real.
So, Matsumoto? You'll be good as new soon.
Hair grows fast.
You can buy your car outright. This much
cash will easily buy the loan out. Yeah?
I paid in cash already.
You make that much? Really?
Well, anyway, this is the deal, okay?
So just sign this, okay?
Let's go. Here. Sign it.
Here.
WRITTEN PLEDGE
HAIR VS. HAIR DEATH MATCH
A written pledge?
The shoulder!
Can't you see it from there?
-Got it.
-Again.
-Go for it!
-You all ready? Go.
Get her!
-One, two.
-Pin her!
The fans'll never hear you.
You've gotta project your voice more.
-Yes, sir!
-So do it again.
Yes, sir.
-Are you trying? If not, go home.
-What are you doing?
-You girls ready?
-Just shut it. Stay out of this.
Seriously this time.
Give it your all each time, okay?
All right, go!
One! Two!
Shout louder!
-How many times do I have to tell you?
-Got it.
HAIR VS. HAIR DEATH MATCH
I figured the script
would turn out like this.
Hey, guys! Stand by for me.
Do you really have Dump
under control or not?
We can't go off-script
with Shiro Abe refereeing.
Hey, don't worry about all that.
Dump has agreed to play along too.
So in return, then, you better give us
a match worth broadcasting live.
That's what I always do.
Ah, so you do.
Well, these arrived at the office again.
Here.
MS. CHIGUSA NAGAYO
They're from your mom, right?
At least reply to her.
SUEKO NAGAYO
Thank you both for taking
the time to be here with us today.
You two are incredibly popular.
You must meet lots of fans
wherever you go.
I guess we do, yeah,
and we've always got some fans
waiting for us outside the Meguro office.
Oh, I can imagine.
So tell me,
are you two friends outside of work?
Yeah. We'll shop
and buy some dinner together, won't we?
We're together on most days.
That's great!
But with everyone
wanting a piece of you,
how do you find the time
to train for wrestling?
We often stay up late
and train through the night.
We do research by watching videos
of men's wrestling and reading magazines.
And eating late-night snacks?
-Yeah.
-What kind do you like?
A lot. We can both pack it down!
-I bet you could out-eat me!
-Yeah.
The numbers
just keep getting higher.
I'll say it outright.
These results show he's at high risk
of experiencing a fatal heart attack.
Doctor, are things that hopeless now?
There are still things he can try.
He needs to adhere to his treatment plan,
and take his prescribed medication.
And you really need
to stop drinking, Mr. Matsumoto.
Asuka and I invented
a style that rivals men's pro-wrestling.
-That's how I'll
-What the hell is that, huh? Huh?
-Nagayo, you idiot!
-Sit down!
Hey.
All you guys had better look forward
to seeing her bald head, all right?
Nagayo, your hair
isn't the only thing I'll be taking.
I'll take your life in the fight too!
You'd all be a lot better off
if I had just died.
That's stupid talk. Don't start! Let's go.
How do you feel
seeing that again?
All right.
Well, Dump really can't
help herself, can she?
Dump said
she's gonna shave your head.
Are you still feeling confident?
Well, it's not about confidence.
I am going to win the match.
She cheats since she's no good,
I'm much better.
So I'll shave Dump completely bald.
Come on. It's sold out.
We can't get a ticket.
I got two, bro, no problem. Here.
Line starts right over here.
LOSER-SHAVES-HEAD DEATHMATCH
Sure you don't wanna watch it?
Watch what?
Pro-wrestling. Come on.
Oh, shit.
This pisses me off. I never win!
And now, the baby cheetah
behaves in a surprising way
MATSUMOTO
It's starting. Hurry, hurry, hurry.
Let's switch the channel.
It opened in October 1983,
and this grand hall is now
Are you sure you wanna watch all this?
Of course I do. It's Kaoru
who paid for this big house for us.
-Joining me is Mr. Suzuki.
-Yes.
As we look at the expressions
on Chigusa Nagayo's and Dump
-Switch two.
-Okay.
taking part in such a big match
here in the famous
-I'll head out.
-Okay.
has them both
more fired up than usual.
That's right.
But given the nature of today's match
I heard we got people standing,
it's so full.
Ah, great.
The numbers are all we really need now.
The numbers are there.
This match is between Chigusa, an idol,
and the evil monsteress Dump,
who everybody loves to hate.
Right. Well, then, I'll leave it to you.
Of course. Thanks.
represent a woman's spirit,
so it will surely be an incredible match.
-Toshi.
-Hmm?
Sorry to nag, it's just we can't have
a disqualification end this fight.
This match needs a big finish,
you understand?
Please, it's handled.
I brought that Mexican referee
to a club in Shinchi last night
and made everything abundantly clear.
The main event today
will be a one-fall match
with no time limit.
The stated rules prohibit any inconclusive
decisions due to foul play.
This will ensure
a definitive outcome to the match.
LOSER-SHAVES-HEAD DEATHMATCH
The Extreme Evil Alliance
is now entering Osaka-Jo Hall.
The arena lighting has turned blue.
And now, the Extreme Evil Alliance's
Dump Matsumoto
Get out of the way!
with her kendo stick in hand,
enters the arena as if rising
from the depths of the Earth.
The other members of the Extreme Evil
Alliance follow closely behind her.
I can see Monster Ripper in her entourage.
And who is
this masked wrestler joining them?
It seems they're doing
a lap around the ring.
The Extreme Evil Alliance has arrived,
and they are definitely
making their presence known.
Already, the audience is cowering in fear
as Dump Matsumoto makes her way past.
She's incredibly menacing.
Dump Matsumoto
and the Extreme Evil Alliance
enter just in the manner
you'd expect them to.
How intimidating!
It seems she's threatening
everyone around her
as she makes her way to the ring.
With presence and utter fearlessness,
Dump and her motley crew
complete their lap of the ring,
and Dump is now entering.
And now,
entering from the red corner,
Chigusa Nagayo of the Crush Gals!
As if symbolizing
Chigusa Nagayo's emotions,
the ring is lit up entirely in red.
Here comes Chigusa Nagayo!
All the fans here at the ring
in Osaka-Jo Hall await her.
Chigusa! Chigusa! Chigusa!
Chigusa rides on the shoulders
of her seconds like riding a horse today.
And symbolizing the head of that horse
is Crush Gal Lioness Asuka.
Chigusa Nagayo is entering the arena
as if on horseback today.
As loud cheers fill the arena,
Chigusa is making her way down the aisle
towards the ring here at Osaka-Jo Hall.
-Chigusa! Chigusa!
-She's coming up to the ring now.
Dressed in a hakama, Chigusa Nagayo
gives the crowd an exciting ring entrance.
And now,
for today's main event,
a no-time-limit,
loser-shaves-head deathmatch
will soon begin.
In the red corner, weighing 125 lb.,
Chigusa Nagayo!
Look at that. Nagayo
has a pair of scissors in her right hand.
Is that signifying
that she will claim Dump's hair?
It certainly looks as if she's declaring
war against her rival here today.
-Weighing 210 lb. in the blue corner
-Dump Matsumoto looks unfazed.
Dump Matsumoto!
And our referee, José Torres.
Hey! Why are there two of you in the ring?
Nagayo seems perplexed now
as to why she's facing two wrestlers
instead of one.
Bring it on!
Bitch!
She goes towards her!
The two of them are in a scuffle already.
-Huh?
-Get off, bitch!
Oh, now the masked wrestler
enters the fray. Who could it be?
Hey, ref, what are you doing?
No, no, no, no. No hair! No hair!
No hair! No hair!
No, no, no hair.
Go away! Go away!
Wow, what a situation
we have here.
Chants of "Go away" are already
ringing out at Osaka-Jo Hall tonight.
Go away! Go away!
Go away! Go away! Go away!
She's taking off her mask.
Oh, oh, oh, just look at that!
The true identity is
Oh my goodness! It's Dump Matsumoto!
That means the wrestler
who was introduced earlier
was apparently not
the real Dump Matsumoto.
I have no idea what's going on anymore!
Chigusa Nagayo must also be
That Dump really is
a great show woman, huh?
She wants us all to see
she's the top act here today.
We've all been tricked!
The masked wrestler from before
was actually Dump Matsumoto!
Don't mess around!
No, no!
Hey, why couldn't I be the referee
for this one?
If you had, we'd have gotten
way too many complaints about it.
You never know
what's gonna happen, huh?
A kid with no promise
who got stuck promoting with me.
Now all of this crowd is here for her.
Hey, get back. Get back.
Back. Get back, get back.
Hey, hey, hey! No, no, no, no!
No weapons. No weapons!
Hey, she's got a weapon! Look!
No! No weapons.
No weapons!
-Take a good look, everyone!
-Screw you!
The fans
are shouting Chigusa's name.
Calls of "Chigusa" ring out in the hall.
No weapons!
No weapons. No weapons.
-Give up?
-No!
No give-up. No give-up! Get back.
Give up already!
Stay out. Stay back.
Go on, try and flip me, then!
Fight, Chigusa!
Nagayo is back up!
The arm.
She's taken control of her arm.
Will Chigusa be able to pin her?
-Hell yeah!
-Chigusa!
-And now for the count.
-One! Two!
Dump escapes on the count of two.
Dump Matsumoto escapes the pin attempt
on the count of two.
Reach! Get the rope!
Get back! Hey!
Get down. Get down.
Wait a second.
Someone passed Dump a fork.
Dump now has a fork in her hand!
Get off me!
-No weapons
-Shut it!
Once again, Dump Matsumoto
is using her weapon of choice, a fork!
Oh no!
Chigusa is bleeding from the forehead.
Dump is being merciless with her tonight.
This has turned
into a fierce match.
Blood is gushing from the wound
and running onto Nagayo's forehead!
This match is out of control!
I certainly
didn't expect this to happen.
Indeed. Nagayo
is in serious trouble here.
Things are not looking good for her.
She's now using the fork
to attack the referee, José Torres!
This isn't good at all.
She's attacking the referee
with the fork too.
Nothing can stop her now.
Dump Matsumoto has gone
into a frenzy here today.
-Sorry. I gotta watch it.
-Huh?
Dump Matsumoto is on a rampage!
Are you serious right now?
stop her, but Dump hits him
-Hey, move it.
-This isn't good.
That's right. Get her, get her!
Hey, shut up!
Hey, how long
do you plan to sleep for?
No hair, no hair!
Shut up!
The abdominal stretch.
The abdominal stretch!
Give up, come on!
It's the last resort
abdominal stretch.
-Nagayo's got her in a hold!
-Hey, screw you!
Dump has powered
her way out of it.
With absolutely no hesitation,
Nagayo goes straight in for the attack.
Hey, give up?
Hey, get back, get back!
She has both her legs
moving into a sharpshooter position!
The sharpshooter. The sharpshooter!
Nagayo raises a fist to the roof!
The crowd goes wild.
Is it finally
Chigusa's time, then?
We wanna air Dump getting shaved, so, um,
we need her to wrap it up soon for us.
-Give up?
-No!
No! No give-up, no give-up.
No give-up. No.
Nagayo used her signature move,
but Dump Matsumoto was able to break free
using her leg strength.
Chigusa!
Hey, you guys, watch this!
Dump has grabbed hold
of Nagayo's legs.
She's dragging her
to the center of the ring.
She's getting ready
to use Nagayo's signature against her!
The sharpshooter!
This is a surprise!
Dump Matsumoto has stolen
Nagayo's signature move.
-Give up? Give up?
-All right!
Give up?
-Give up?
-No!
No give-up.
Hey! Hey, what's wrong?
Your move too tough for you?
Just try and break free!
-No give-up. No give-up!
-Chiko! Get out of it!
Show her what you've got, Chigusa!
Don't stop fighting, you're a Crush Gal!
So break free. Get out of it!
Can you believe it?
Dump Matsumoto has released
the hold on Chigusa.
Why would she do that?
-Fight!
-Come on!
Let's go, Chigusa.
-Don't you dare!
-Oh, a karate punch!
Dump Matsumoto has used a karate punch.
She's stolen yet another one
of Nagayo's moves.
She's even using karate moves?
This is gonna be
a tough fight for Chigusa.
Dump, I guess, must really resent
being forced to be the loser in this one.
Nagayo looks furious now.
She hits back with a karate kick!
What will she do next?
Hey, what's wrong, huh?
-Come on!
-Get her, go!
Fight.
What fierce kicks!
Dump Matsumoto is getting kicked by Nagayo
like a punching bag.
Fight. I said fight!
Yeah!
Damn you.
Quit screwing around!
-Whoa, whoa, whoa! No hair!
-Try me, then!
And now,
Dump has grabbed Nagayo's hair
and tossed her out of the ring,
where she loves to brawl.
Stand back, everyone.
You bitch!
Get back here.
No fighting outside.
Hey!
Hey, get your hands off!
I said get your hands off!
Stop it. Let go already.
You're not taking those. You got it?
This has nothing to do with you!
Chigusa!
Chigusa, get up and fight her!
You can do it. Go!
You! Give me that thing!
Hey, Dump!
Nagayo is using a weapon.
Can you believe it?
-Chigusa attacking with a weapon.
-Kaoru!
She's using a trashcan
as a deadly tool!
She's now attacking every single member
of the Extreme Evil Alliance
with a weapon!
Well, it may be fair to say
that Chigusa has reached the limits
of her patience in this fight.
She's on a rampage with a metal can
in a massive brawl outside the ring.
To see the Crush Gal
Chigusa Nagayo like this is
-Yeah!
-As everyone knows
-Give me a cold sake.
-All right.
deathmatch
One cold sake coming up.
punishment of having
her head shaved in the ring.
A fierce match was expected, but this?
I never would have expected the match
here today would get this violent.
Yeah!
Stand up! Get up already!
Stand!
Hey, no, no, no, no, no!
No weapons! No weapons.
Stand up already!
Chigusa! Chigusa, don't!
-Chigusa!
-Hey, get out of here! What are you doing?
No, no, no. No weapons! No!
-Let go!
-No, please
Hey, now it's my turn!
No. No. No weapons!
Shut all of your holes!
Yeah!
Here I go!
No weapons! No weapons.
Hey, let go!
Chigusa's face
is covered in blood. Unbelievable!
Screams of terror
ring out here at Osaka-Jo Hall.
Oh no. Dump Matsumoto has
the scissors and she's going on a rampage.
She's going wild!
She's like a dump truck.
She can't be stopped!
Yeah!
Here I go!
She's stabbing Chigusa's head
with the scissors.
She's stabbing her with the scissors!
Let her go!
That's enough!
Please, stop it!
Hey. Hey!
Hey! Stop! No. No weapons.
Let go!
No weapons!
Hey! She's breaking the rules.
Get down.
-You can't allow this!
-Just get in there already!
No. Hey, back up! No, get down!
Dump Matsumoto grabs
the microphone and delivers a fierce
Oh God. Toshi,
can we really air this fight?
Nagayo's head again!
We're live right now.
Deafening cheers
Toshi? Toshi!
That José guy
isn't controlling things at all.
President!
We've got complaints
flooding in right now.
Settle it somehow. Quick!
We're low on air time. Go.
Abe, declare it a no contest or something!
-I should?
-No, a no contest won't fly.
Chigusa would win. You swore it!
That referee should toss Dump out
for all the fouls.
What the hell? You were the one who said
we couldn't end the match that way!
-That's not what I said!
-So I made sure that
No!
Dump delivers
yet another blow to Chigusa's head.
Here I go!
She's attacking her violently
with the microphone.
Chigusa Nagayo can only
defend herself now.
Her face is covered in blood.
Completely red.
The bleeding just won't stop.
Kaoru!
This is bad!
If she goes into hemorrhagic shock
-Yeah, I already know that!
-Then stop the fight!
-She can't go on!
-Hey! Why aren't you doing anything?
-Chigusa will die in there!
-Get back!
-Hey, hurry up and ring the bell. Do it!
-Stop it, I can't!
Just stop the fight!
Stop it!
Things could get really dangerous
if this match continues.
Nobody can stop her now.
Dump Matsumoto is using
her infamous chains.
This is a truly wild fight.
Nobody can stop this madness.
José, stop! Stop!
José, stop it! Enough!
-José, stop it!
-Hey, no! Get out of here!
Don't you get it? Do it or I'll kill you!
-They told me to keep going.
-Stop the fight!
Please, sis.
It's done.
The fight's over.
Why is she going this far?
Chigusa!
Chigusa!
What's this? Lioness Asuka
has just thrown in the towel!
The towel?
Is that it?
Chigusa!
Stop it, please!
You idiot!
This isn't pro-wrestling. Get out!
Don't interfere with this!
Hey.
Both wrestlers are covered
in blood. This match is a bloodbath.
Oh no. Dump Matsumoto has the fork again.
She's got the fork!
Here I go!
Here it comes again!
Ah, another powerful blow!
This is a truly
terrifying sight to behold.
No! Stop it!
Stay out of the way!
This is a fight
between me and Chigusa!
All right!
Chigusa!
This is the end for you!
Chigusa!
Hold on!
Chigusa! No!
José, count down!
-Yeah!
-One!
One!
Someone stop him, wait.
Chigusa has to win!
-Three!
-Three!
-Four!
-Four!
-Five!
-Five!
-Six!
-Six!
Get up now! Chigusa!
-Seven!
-Seven!
Come on! Stand up.
KAORU, CHIGUSA
Kaoru, you can do it!
-José! José!
-Nine!
José, stop it!
-Are you okay?
-Stop the count! José!
-Ten!
-Ten!
Looks like I won, you bastards!
That's ten! It's a knockout!
Chigusa Nagayo has lost.
Chigusa Nagayo has lost!
Dump Matsumoto is the winner.
Dump Matsumoto will be
cutting off Chigusa's hair!
Enough!
-How do you like that?
-Damn it, Toshi!
-What the hell were you thinking?
-That's not right!
-Everyone, get back!
-What are we supposed to do now?
-Hey!
-Yeah!
-Chigusa!
-Are you all right?
Can you hear me?
Are you all right, Miss Nagayo?
Chigusa, over here! Take a seat.
Get over here, bitch!
You lost the fight. Hurry up!
-No way!
-Bring her ass here!
Get her over her!
Nagayo's body
is now being carried into the ring.
She's being dragged in!
The Extreme Evil Alliance members
are all surrounding her.
Nagayo's body is being shoved
back into the ring.
This is truly awful.
A chair has been placed in the center.
Chigusa Nagayo has been carried
to this chair.
We know what's to come.
-Objects are being thrown.
-Get back!
Screams of terror
and voices of sadness
are echoing around
here at Osaka-Jo Hall tonight.
It is total chaos in the ring.
Ready to cut!
Head down right now.
Stop!
José Torres has grabbed her
by the hair.
He is about to cut Nagayo's hair.
People are sobbing.
The hall is filled with screams.
Chigusa!
Check it out! Nagayo's hair.
You see that?
-Hey! Out of the way!
-Chigusa.
Let's get the shaver out, huh?
And now Dump Matsumoto
Yes, Dump now has the clippers.
She's now
shaving off Nagayo's hair!
It's awful!
Her hair is being shaved off.
Hair, which is said to be a woman's life.
Nagayo's head is being mercilessly shaved.
It's being shaved.
I simply can't watch!
What an awful scene. I have never
seen a sight like this before.
Not done with her yet!
Hey, are you okay?
Let's go.
Out of the way. Move.
Why are you here?
-Why? Well, I I was just
-You're drinking again.
You made my sister like this!
-No, wait, just Hiromi, wait.
-Stop it.
-I'm sorry.
-Stop it!
-I was just
-Get off her!
Hey, are you okay?
Out of the way.
Are you okay? Are you hurt?
You okay, sir?
You okay?
Stay back!
-We're her parents!
-You have to let us through!
-Let us through!
-Let go! Chigusa!
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
You and Dad were
You were here.
I'm sorry.
You were here.
I'm sorry.
Strong late-summer heat
is expected today too,
so please be cautious of heatstroke
when going out.

DIE
Last month, TOYO Television
achieved a viewership rating of 20%
during the live broadcast
of the All Nippon Women's Pro-Wrestling
at Osaka-Jo Hall.
However, the TOYO Television Osaka office
has decided to discontinue
showing future matches live on the air
due to all the complaints that were
received during the fight that evening.
The primary complaint was that
Here.
One of the wrestlers
went so far as to use weapons
that caused her opponent
to bleed profusely from the head.
Where's the rest of it?
Hey, you broke your word.
Don't complain now.
We could be axed because of what you did
over there. Do you understand that?
How could I have known that Chigusa
would be knocked out so easily, huh?
-What?
-Matsumoto.
My congratulations.
What are you saying?
She got the whole of Japan in such
a frenzy they had to cancel the show.
The longer she goes on a rampage,
the more money we've got rolling in.
Why didn't anyone anticipate
the potential for this kind of outcome?
In regards
to the broadcast content, everyone here
on the production side of things
will be working to ensure
Chigusa Nagayo is taking hits!
Her agonizing condition
continues in the ring.
Chigusa! Chigusa!
Nagayo is back up. What now?
What will she do?
Oh, she's grabbed Dump's arm
using only one arm.
And now, will she pin her?
Nagayo looks like she's going for the pin!
And now for the count.
Dump escapes on the count of two.
Dump Matsumoto escapes the pin attempt
on the count of two.
Dump has grabbed hold
of Nagayo's legs.
She's dragging her
to the center of the ring.
She is getting ready to use
Nagayo's signature move against her.
The sharpshooter!
This is a
Tomo.
Are you feeling any better?
Well, I think that
this just means you need
to put in some more effort at wrestling.
Everybody's been worried.
Why not train with us?
Why would anyone care
how I'm doing, anyway?
What?
It seems like I really made headlines.
I heard the fan club added
a thousand new members after the fight.
STARTING OVER WITH A BALD HEAD
A BLOODY KO
A PAINFUL HAIRCU
She may have beaten me in the ring,
but, really, I haven't lost a thing.
So nobody needs to act
like they're worried.
I know everybody's
been pretending to care.
I know they all just wanna laugh
at my ugly shaved hair.
Chiko.
You know, there are things
you should never say.
Tell me, did your moves work
to help bring Dump down that day?
Your moves did nothing!
Sure, you're incredibly popular,
but you don't practice,
so your pro-wrestling
won't beat Dump or anyone else!
The ring isn't the only thing that matters
in a wrestling career.
I don't need advice, so just go already!
Chiko.
Pro-wrestling's not a thing
you can do on your own.
Sure it is.
And I always do everything alone.
End it?
I can't work with Chiko now.
Trust me. I get how you feel.
You're the biggest women's wrestling stars
now, though.
I doubt you can leave that easily.
And besides, I hope you'll stay here
with me until I retire. What do you say?
What?
So far, nobody else knows this.
I think the company's decided
that I'm old news anyway,
so rather than get dropped
like Miss Jackie, I should just
Wait a minute, hang on!
We were gonna change wrestling together.
You said that!
And I want to take that red belt from you.
That got me this far. It was you!
You can't change my mind. Sorry.
Don't run away!
Why would you leave like that?
Wait!
Then let's fight. I wanna fight you!
This isn't fair, Miss Jaguar!
You can't just leave!
Miss Jaguar, don't leave!
Tomo.
Before this comes to an end
I wanna shine too.
I'm sorry to call
at a time like this.
But I just got a call from the doctor.
She said that
your dad might die tonight.
-Three units of blood.
-Yes, I'll bring it.
OPERATION IN PROGRESS
I'm getting
three units of blood.
Hiromi's here?
So, I guess he's been drinking again?
Even though the doctor told him
it was too dangerous.
What was that saying?
Only death can cure an idiot.
He's hopeless, seems like.
Uh
That was very impressive, Kaoru.
Huh?
I saw your match in Osaka.
So, you're not angry?
Not angry at all, no,
because I know
that you're still Kaoru underneath it all.
I knew that a lot of thought
would have gone
into how you chose to act for the show.
I won't tell you
that you have to forgive your dad.
I'm sure you won't, even if he dies.
But you know
your dad was a weak person.
That's why
he needed to drink
and act like he was strong.
Otherwise
Otherwise, he
Doctor?
Thank you for everything.
The surgery was a success.
He should recover soon.
-What?
-What?
So I think he's gotten past
the worst of it now.
So, he's gonna recover?
-Uh uh
-Huh?
Oh, there he is!
What the hell, huh?
I thought you were dying
so I came out here!
Hey, grab your chain.
Let's cho-choke him with it right now!
Sorry to get you out like this.
A long time, huh?
You're looking well.
So much for the three taboo rule.
Here you are.
Excuse me. Beer for two.
Certainly, Miss. Excuse me.
It sure feels strange, doesn't it?
Until a couple of years ago,
I guess we really did despise one another.
Wow, no sugarcoating it.
How did we get there?
Was it all just the wrestling?
Hmm.
We had some happy days, although,
in the end, I still got used
like I was just another tool.
Well, that's all I was
to those guys.
They used you and then tossed you aside.
Mm.
Here you are.
Sorry for the wait.
Maki.
I want
to start pro-wrestling again.
I thought that could be it.
You're still in the midst
of your beautiful days of youth, huh?
For just a
a little more time, yeah.
So I fully believe that,
with this company's vision,
we'll start a new kind of wrestling,
unlike anything we've seen before now.
This is my comeback to pro-wrestling,
and I look forward to new competitions.
I ask the people here, and those at home
Joining Japan Women's?
And after everything we did for her, damn.
JACKIE SATO'S COMEBACK
Whatever. We still have the Crush Gals
and the Extreme Evil crew.
Like we'd ever lose to that has-been.
WEEKLY PRO WRESTLING
"I JUST WANT TO ENJOY WRESTLING"
No, no, no!
All right. Good.
Hey, wrong way. Reverse it!
Miss Jackie
was a huge star.
Why would she return to wrestling
just to get beat up like that?
JACKIE SATO
"A NEW STAGE"
I actually
saw Miss Jackie wrestle in person
before she was in Beauty Pair.
She was new, but she had an amazing aura.
I was a fan right away.
Mm.
I don't want
you to get the wrong idea about anything,
so I'll just say this.
I didn't run away then.
It's a better fit.
It lets me enjoy pro-wrestling,
except I don't have to choose sides now.
So that's why I changed.
And since you're the reason
I figured that out
I wanna thank you.
NAOKO SATO
Kaoru?
Chigusa?
-What are you doing?
-What are you doing?
Did you hear?
They want a loser-shaves-head rematch.
How long will they keep this going?
Until everyone is bald, I guess?
Come on, really?
But you know what?
Things have been getting
really confusing lately.
Does everybody
have to despise everybody else
when we wrestle in the ring?
What was it that made you come here
to wrestle back then?
Well, I didn't have any real reason.
I just wanted
I just
wanted to get stronger, that's all.
For me, it's how I feel alive, I think.
To prove, in a way,
to everyone else that I had around me
my strength can keep me alive
through it all.
Well, have we gotten any stronger at all,
do you think?
KAORU MATSUMOTO
NAOKO SATO - CHIGUSA NAGAYO
Great work today. Over here!
Another great fight,
Dump, as always.
What a great match. A picture, please!
Can I get a picture, Dump?
One last photo! Over here!
-Look this way!
-Clear out!
-Hey.
-Careful, careful.
Just one more.
Thank you.
-Great work today.
-What are your thoughts on today's fight?
Next question.
Okay. All right.
Oh, there are rumors
that the Extreme Evil Alliance
might be making its debut in America
later this year.
What can you tell us?
-Dump?
-Hey, Dump?
-Dump?
-Huh?
Well, about America?
Are you going, or
Gimme.
-Oh, wait, no, don't
-Hey.
Answer this.
-Okay.
-Do our guys check this or not?
-Uh, no
-Oh!
No, I don't think
we need your guys' permission, no.
Is that right?
Then I'll retire.
-What?
-What?
-Huh?
-What?
-For real?
-Is she serious?
Dump Matsumoto's retiring.
How long
have you been planning to leave?
ALL NIPPON WOMEN'S PRO-WRESTLING CORP.
Matsumoto,
we have events booked featuring Dump
until next year.
Retirement is not in the cards
for a good long while.
You understand that, don't you?
-So, why'd you fire Jackie, then?
-Hmm?
You guys decided to axe her
in the middle of a series
when she was no longer necessary.
Don't act like it's impossible
to retire like I want!
-Hey! Just let go!
-Why?
-Hey! Someone else recruited you, huh?
-Huh?
Someone at the new wrestling company
offered you a deal,
isn't that right?
Well?
What are you saying?
I just want
I just want to quit my role is all.
What is all this? What role is that?
Dump, okay?
Knock it off. You're acting ridiculous!
-Hey!
-Hey!
Hey!
Who let Chigusa
have a press conference?
Chigusa's having a what?
-Chigusa's jumping to that new company.
-What?
I want to continue
being a serious wrestler.
-How long before you're going?
-After you switch, who would you wrestle?
-I'd wrestle Kandori.
-Kandori?
Also, if Jackie is still going to fight,
then I want
Don't tell people that. No!
Stop the press conference!
Stop it! Stop it!
-We're trying to do our jobs.
-What do you think you're doing? Chigusa!
Everybody, wait! Just wait. Let me talk!
What benefit is there
in you wrestling with that company? None!
Oh. Don't write this.
I wanna wrestle with Kandori and Jackie.
It has nothing to do with you here!
What are you saying?
You know we'd never allow that!
Toshikuni! You were supposed
to handle things.
DUMP MATSUMOTO RETIREMENT MATCH
Thank you, Miss. Yeah, take what you need.
No pickled ginger? All right.
-Yes, of course, just a second?
-One of these?
Oh, this poster?
We don't. My apologies, sir.
Here. Here's your poster.
SEE YA
Miss Dump, you're up.
Good luck today!
Here you go.
Miss Dump, here you go.
Good luck, Miss.
In the red corner,
from the Extreme Evil Alliance,
it's Dump Matsumoto entering now!
The Extreme Evil Alliance's
Dump Matsumoto enters the arena.
Well, this is a first.
Fans of the Crush Gals
are all up on their feet
to welcome Dump Matsumoto to the arena.
Get out of the way! You bastards!
What's your problem, huh?
Dump is menacing
everyone in the area around the ring
with her kendo stick.
This is her last appearance.
This is her final match as a pro.
Hey!
Cheers and screams alike
are filling the hall.
Dump Matsumoto leads
the Extreme Evil Alliance to the ring
for her final appearance!
Take a good look!
EXTREMELY EVIL DUMP IS HERE
Not the broadcast booth! That was close.
She's made her way to our booth!
Hey.
In 1980, she debuted
under her real name, Kaoru Matsumoto.
Since then, she's reigned
as the Queen of Villains,
leading the Extreme Evil Alliance.
Now known as Dump,
she's wrestled against big names
like Chigusa Nagayo, Lioness Asuka,
and Yukari Ohmori.
Let go of me. Move!
Hey, sis!
THE QUEEN OF VILLAINS
DUMP MATSUMOTO
Out of my way!
How's that?
Her rivals, the Crush Gals,
look on from their places in the ring.
Chigusa Nagayo and Lioness Asuka
are now welcoming Dump Matsumoto
into the ring.
I must admit,
this is making my heart race a little.
Hey.
Dump Matsumoto
slowly steps into the ring.
She now stands in the ring,
observing the crowd.
Dump Matsumoto has entered the ring
for the final time!
And now
for today's main event.
A 60-minute, single-fall
retirement match for Dump Matsumoto!
In the blue corner, from the Crush Gals,
weighing 140 lb.,
it's Lioness Asuka!
In the same blue corner,
weighing 140 lb.,
Chigusa Nagayo!
In the red corner, weighing 160 lb.,
Yukari Ohmori!
EXTREMELY EVIL DUMP IS HERE
DUMP MATSUMOTO
Also in the red corner, weighing 210 lb.,
Dump Matsumoto!
Cheers erupt
at the Korakuen Hall. The match has begun.
Damn it!
Take this!
On your feet!
-That's a foul, stop her! Go!
-Stay out!
-Hey! Here I go!
-Hey, Dump!
Oh no! She's stabbed her
in the head with the fork.
What are you doing? Hey, stop it!
This is just awful.
Just awful!
Have you ever seen
a retirement match like this before?
Dump Matsumoto is sticking with
her fighting style right up until the end.
They're fighting outside the ring
right in front of our broadcast booth!
Asuka!
Now it's your turn!
Devil, hey! Come over here!
The audience chants "Go away!"
at the rampaging Dump.
Is this how she's going to leave the ring,
amidst all of this angry chanting,
despised by the audience
until the very end?
Hey, quit it!
Let go of it, you bitch!
Dump Matsumoto
has lost all restraint.
She's now completely out of control!
Hey, just stop it!
Get up, bitch!
Stop it. Stop!
The bell has rung!
They're ringing the bell now.
What will the decision be
in this instance?
It appears to be a no contest.
They decided to declare this match
as a no contest!
Hey, somebody!
Get a towel!
Gimme the mic. The mic!
Quit your whining, you dumbasses!
Huh?
Hey, Dump, listen!
Tell me, is that how you want
your last pro-wrestling match to end?
Just like that? Huh?
Do you really wanna go out like that?
I wanna wrestle
more than anything in life.
If you live as you want,
you'll win in the end. Go your own way.
All of you idiots, listen!
I'll show you
some real wrestling here tonight!
Hey, Nagayo!
Get over here!
Let's join together!
Let's put our rivalry aside
for just this once!
So fight with me this next round!
What?
Get up, then!
Let's stand together!
Come over here!
Let's stand together!
Go again! Go again!
An extended match? Is she joking?
Go again!
If they want it, who cares?
-Go again!
-It doesn't affect our profit.
Go again! Go again! Go again!
Go again! Go again! Go again!
All right, then, you're on!
Dump, let's wrestle this once as partners.
Real wrestling!
The way only you and me
can wrestle, all right?
You're the one who can match
the way I wanna wrestle.
There's nobody else who can do it!
All right, Asuka!
You and I, let's wrestle together!
Weapons are out, though. You gotta agree.
Hey!
Our old team doesn't matter right now.
You'll see the wrestling
that only we can deliver.
The crew of 1980.
Let's do this!
Hey, guys, it's over already!
Get outta there. Out of the ring!
It's over already.
It's over. Hurry, get out!
-Just stay out of it!
-Get out! I said get
Kaoru!
-Kaoru!
-Go, Kaoru!
-Go, Kaoru!
-You can do it!
-Go get 'em!
-Go for it!
What are you doing?
You all need to get out!
Hold it!
Shut up!
Whoa, whoa. Oh!
Who's gonna referee?
I can do it!
Dump Matsumoto's finished now.
From now on, Kaoru's enough.
Let's show everyone how strong
we are now, okay?
Gong!
A new match
is starting in the ring.
They're locked up tightly.
They're grappling head-on.
Dump is testing her strength
in an honest fight.
Dump is pushing Asuka back!
The referee has ordered a break,
but what will happen next?
It's a clean break!
We actually got a clean break!
This is quite the surprise.
The fans in the arena are cheering wildly.
Dump Matsumoto is fighting fair!
And now, they're moving towards
each other, looking to lock hands.
And they're locked in,
making this a test of brawn.
Asuka is coming in ferociously
with repeated kicks.
Dump whips her into the corner!
Is she going to charge in?
Here she comes with great momentum!
Dump Matsumoto moves in with a
Chigusa!
Keep going, Chigusa!
Hey, what's the matter?
Don't have a ticket?
I see, hmm.
Then let's sneak you past, okay?
Especially for you. Let's go.
Here I go!
Are you ready?
Yeah?
This is
the story of our battle.
That's right. This is
the story of girls
who fight.
THIS IS A FICTIONAL STORY BASED ON
REAL PEOPLE AND REAL EVENTS.
