Tokyo Joshi Pro - Let's Go To Itabashi In The Spring, Bring Your Friends Together! (5/5/2018)

2. Hyper Misao vs. Nodoka-oneesan vs. Yuki Kamifuku

Nodoka's evasive roll in that early segment with Misao was cool. Surprisingly heated at times despite being a comedy match, and Kamiyu showed off an aggressive streak that we've never seen from her.

***1/4

3. Shoko Nakajima vs. Yuki Aino

Aino looks like an Akira Toriyama character when she smiles. Shoko's on-top work here was some of the best stuff she has done recently. Aino looked good getting beaten up; she got more of a chance to show off her moveset than she did in Korakuen. Grounded and focused work, easy-going.

***3/4

5. Maho Kurone vs. Su Yung

I underestimated these two a lot as I didn't think they would be capable of pacing and laying out a singles so well. I liked the spot where they reached a deadlock after trading mandible claws. Yung's bump for Maho's sliding German suplex was good too. Fun clash between monsters.

***1/2 

6. Ito Respect Army (Maki Ito & Mizuki) & Yuka Sakazaki vs. Marika Kobashi, Miyu Yamashita & Rika Tatsumi

Great trios action with fun character moments and interactions.

***1/2
