GANG LEADER
After the collapse of UWH, Sumisu joined the Kajiwara Gumi, headed by Joe Kajiwara.
However, the Kajiwara Gumi did not have enough wrestlers to put on a convincing show. Their situation was dire.
Luckily, Kajiwara's previous home of View Japan came to their rescue. By accepting their offer, Kajiwara was able to keep on fighting.
But View Japan, where the strongest gathered, was tougher than expected.
DATE: "Oh look, it's the Kajiwara Gumi. The hell are you doing here? Does your Boss have no pride? I don't know shit about this U-style of yours. Professor Date here is gonna teach you a lesson!"
DATE: "I can't even bring myself to look at you... You're a disgrace!"
DATE: "Have you no shame? No respect for the audience? You have no right to call yourself a pro. Come here!"
SUMISU: "What did you just say to me? How dare you! Don't bring the Boss into this! Just shut your mouth!"
DATE: "You don't know how to pace a match. Your technique is mediocre. You lack balance. You're not a real wrestler."
DATE: "A wrestler needs to balance his physical prowess and his technique. You don't meet the basic requirements."
SUMISU: "Wrestling is not a science! Nobody wants to watch that!"
DATE: "That's loser talk. There's only one way of doing things, you're just too weak to follow it. If you can't get with the system, you're not qualified for the job."
SUMISU: "... That's why pro wrestling is going to shit. ... Because of people like you."
DATE: "You're a nobody! You have no right to talk to me like that!"
SUMISU: "Is that how you do things in View Japan? You screw people over before the match even starts? A real wrestler is supposed to find the answer inside the ring!"
SUMISU: "Kajiwara and Ittetsu would make you swallow your words!"
DATE: "Oh, those poor old soldiers... Boo-fucking-hoo. They're already dead. They trained you to be a zombie. That's right, you're a zombie! Hahahaha!"
DATE: "I could beat you with one arm tied behind my back. Don't underestimate the major leagues, kid. You're second-rate."
SUMISU: "You talk too much! Come on the mat, I'll split your head in half!"
DATE: "You're out of control. If that's the only way you can win, get out of View Japan!"
KOUNO: "I'm finally back to my homeland, and the first thing I see is your dumb face, AYE! Masahiro Kouno will send you back to the Yellow Building. ORA!"
SUMISU: "You're out of season, Kouno. Morio Sumisu will ship you back to China!"
KOUNO: "Don't get cocky, kid!"
KOUNO: "It's time for me to hybernate. Go and train until summer comes, Sumisu! Then I'll take you down a notch... You'll see!"
KOUNO: "Watch out for Masahiro Kouno, The Summer Man!"
KAJIWARA: "Oh shit, I finished my sports drink. Hey! Sumisu! Get me another one! ... Wait, what are you wearing?"
KAJIWARA: "What? A match? With who? ........ Huh? With me?"
KAJIWARA: "Sure, let's have our fated showdown. What? You don't like that? We'll call it a duel between master and disciple then. Let's do it! Kajiwara's ready for you!"
SUMISU: "Boss... Put on your glasses. I'm about to surpass my master."
KAJIWARA: "I got a present for you, Sumisu. You get to fight my master! He can teach you a ton of things. Trust me, it's gonna be a treat. Go on!"
MUSASHI: "I once went to Russia to check out their top athletes. Once I explained to the medalists what pro wrestling was, they were captivated immediately."
MUSASHI: "What I told them was: 'Being able to control the emotions of thousands, if not tens of thousands of people at once. That's what pro wrestling is.'"
MUSASHI: "Those may sound like the words of a rookie. But after wrestling for 30 years, that's the only thing I know to be true. I never learned anything else."
MUSASHI: "We all challenged the question of pro wrestling. And if you're gonna call yourself a pro wrestler, Sumisu, you must challenge it as well."
MUSASHI: "This old man still has to get in the ring, even if he doesn't know why."
MUSASHI: "I wonder... Who's gonna revitalize this stagnant world of wrestling? Who's gonna take over from me, and allow me begin the next stage of my life? Is everyone so pathetic as to lose against this tired old shell of a wrestler?"
MUSASHI: "Pro wrestling isn't just fun and games. My disciples, Saeba, Sanada and Higaki, have forgotten this. Maybe after you fight me, you can remind them for me."
MUSASHI: "What do you say, stranger?"
SUMISU: "I'll take over from you, Musashi."
MUSASHI: "The Legend of Musashi was never real to begin with. It's just an illusion. Now it's time for you to create a legend of Sumisu, and to make it real. My Countdown is now over."
MUSASHI: "Now you must learn the true horror of martial arts. Carry on my will, Sumisu!"
ITTETSU: "You're my disciple, don't forget that!"
