(NOAH) Owada's first singles match with Marufuji ends in a valiant defeat, encouragement with Tiger Flowsion
18th December 2024 (Issue no 2332)
When Naomichi Marufuji came backstage, he immediately exclaimed, "I wasn't really pushed into a corner?? To be honest, I was really pushed into a corner when I was invited to MONDAY MAGIC for the first time in a while." At first, he spoke in a slightly comical way, but there seemed to be some honest truth behind his words.
In the fourth match of the season finale of MONDAY MAGIC, was the first singles match between Marufuji and Yu Owada*. This was a highly anticipated match, with Owada, who has shown remarkable growth, taking on Marufuji, the symbol of the Ark*. Seizing this golden opportunity, Owada boldly attacked without any reservation. He was no match for Marufuji in terms of skill or achievements, but that was precisely why he showed such a desperate fighting style that Marufuji was so impressed by, that he said he was "driven into a corner." Marufuji piled techniques on the tenacious Owada, and was about to perform a Shiranui as the final blow, but changed his mind and finished with a Tiger Flowsion. Later, Marufuji explained that the reason he used this technique was because of "encouragement." The significance of unleashing this secret weapon, created by combining Mitsuharu Misawa's signature techniques, is great. No matter how much time passes, there are things that will be passed down in the Ark.
Notes
Yu Owada: Before he had an attitude problem and became Owada-san.
Symbol of the Ark: Marufuji would later say he doesn't like this name, to him the symbol of the Ark is, and always will be, Mitsuharu Misawa.
