He trains to defeat “The Tiger’s Hole,” which manipulates GWM, and in order to do so, he starts using the Tiger Mask persona, as Tiger Mask once dealt a defeat against The Tiger’s Hole.
The official website for Toei Animation’s new Tiger Mask W (pronounced “Double”) anime based on Ikki Kajiwara and Naoki Tsuji’s Tiger Mask manga revealed on Thursday that the anime will premiere on October 1 at 26:45 (effectively October 2 at 2:45 a.m.) on TV Asahi.
There are even real-life wrestlers who have been inspired by the manga and anime to compete under the Tiger Mask persona.
To plan their revenge, Azuma trained at the foot of Mount Fuji, becoming the “New Tiger Mask,” while Takuma entered “The Tiger’s Hole,” the organization that manipulates GWM, becoming “Tiger the Dark.”
