The possibility of the evil incarnation of Noah's genius, Naomichi Marufuji (40), appearing at Sumo Hall, Tokyo on November 2nd, has arrived.
For the first historic encounter with The Great Muta, represented by Keiji Mutoh (56), Marufuji lamented the current situation "there is no countermove I can make", but the answer came on the 25th by calling "The Great Maru" from hell.

Marufuji, who has decided to fight Muta for the first time, is at a loss.
"The first and last single battle. I keep thinking of things beyond my imagination by searching my mind fully*, but I can't get my head around it."
However, after saying this his eyes flashed as he said, "The residents of hell have no choice but to rely on each other, I am thinking of calling him..."
It is the "Great Maru", his incarnation.

There has been a foreshadowing.
In December 2006, a brutal "Marifuji" appeared in Mexico. In this killer version, the focus was on villainous fights with kicks and masks, and was the terror of lucha fans.
In May 2010, a new incarnation came to Cambodia.
"At that time it was for children who didn't know professional wrestling, I was serious about what they would most be amused by, so a monster like man with a painted face appeared." He looked back on it and added, "When the red poison mist was sprayed to excite the children, they slowly disappeared into the Cambodian Forest. That was undoubtedly the evolution of Fuji's Great Maru..."
This was done at an elementary school in a country with little professional wrestling, where four wrestlers (including Marufuji), put on a match. Before the event, Maru had made an appearance. After that the movements were unknown, but Maru must have sent a message to Marufuji for the new born Noah's biggest match.

He says, "Did you notice it? I sprayed water at Mutoh like poisonous mist after the match in Osaka on the 16th".
That said, he did the spray pose, and disappeared slowly.
