#wataru inoue

[blizzardsuplex]

Nothing of me is original. I am the combined effort of everyone I've ever known.

The squared circle is circular from Dragon Gate's Truth Gate, 02/07/2024 || NJPW's Best of the Super Jr., 06/16/2007 || WCW's Chi-Town Rumble, 02/20/1989 || NJPW's New Japan Pro Wrestling In Miyakojima, 05/15/2010 || TJPW's Yes! Wonderland, 05/06/2024

[Thanks, TJPW English commentary. Names of the moves from top to bottom, BTW: kubinage, Triangle Lancer, headscissors, Hercules Cutter.]

Excuse my arrogance but I only know half of the men here. Shinsuke is still the best Ikemen(handsome man) around.

Been looking up Yasuko Kobayashi's head writer credits, just to see how soon a head writer could return for another installment in a toku franchise, and I noticed/realized that she did ToQger one year after doing Go-Busters (with Kyoryuger bridging the gap in between). Maybe that kind of feat is no longer possible in today's day and age, but...any chance Yuya Takahashi can do Gavv? ^^; xD Even though for some reason the name Gavv made me think of the aforementioned Kobayashi and Toshiki Inoue

This covers both the movie and the TV series, since they have the exact same title and were released the exact same year.

I'm in this poor mess of an 18 year old and I don't like it /lhj

[panicbones]

are you ever so locked in to interpreting a characters gender a certain way that you forget that they are, indeed, cis, and end up accidentally referring to them otherwise. sorry yeah i know she isnt trans but i am ever burdened by genius and intellect

[rosemirmir]

Today has been extremely rough (same for this entire week so far) but I had a nice beverage, someone I know is watching OOO for the first time now, and I get to see my son Wataru soon again for the week

"Targeting female fans of the "Kamen Rider Kiva" show, this book is filled with plenty of color photos of the show's main cast of pretty boys and charming men in various poses and outfits!"

[the-evil-pizza]

[pleuvoire]

wataru and mio's relationship was sooooo cute at the outset but i got so soured on it by all the love triangle stuff that happened ntm the fridging bullshit. it went from nice sweet autism yuri to mind-numbing inoue het. i still like early watamio it's very cute but i have to consciously separate it from everything else

[werewolfcandy]
