What a lacklustre choice! This anime could have transcended genres and demographics if Toru Yano had been involved instead, I say.

I've heard there's other NJPW wrestlers who'll be appearing, it's not just Okada. My question is whether New Japan will introduce new Tiger Mask/Tiger the Dark characters; the fourth Tiger Mask still appears on their shows sometimes, but he's getting a big long in the tooth. Rocky Romero has appeared as Black Tiger in the past, too, but he's in a popular tag team and doesn't look anything like the anime's Tiger the Dark.

He'll be carrying around the DVDs when he wrestles!

Someone in Toei really likes Kazuchika Okada. It's the second time he appears in their series already.

Okada is amazing in the ring. Watch him. He's even better than Seth Rollins.

Well, he is New Japan's golden boy right now. It's not too different from how John Cena is everywhere these days.
I'm hoping for some sort of Tiger Mask Vs. Bullet Club arc just so we can get Kenny Omega in anime form.
