This Sunday, Gatoh Move Pro Wrestling celebrates its ChocoPro season three finale. Over the course of several episodes, this season hit fans with continuous excitement. From holding its first shows in a wrestling ring to the catalog of high-quality it amassed, this season provided much for fans to sink their teeth into. This upcoming season finale will be no exception, as there are three matches set to take place. Let’s take a look at the confirmed card heading into this all too important episode.
Chie Koishikawa vs. Chon Shiryu
As the newest full-time member of Gatoh Move, Chie Koishikawa has been nothing short of exuberant. Furthermore, on episode fifty-two, she picked up her first ChocoPro win, teaming up with joshi veteran Cherry against Pencil Army members Emi Sakura and Lulu Pencil. With this big win under her belt, Koishikawa heads into this season finale with confidence in tow. However, to maintain not only said confidence but her newfound winning ways, she will have to overcome another legendary challenger.

Enter Chon Shiryu, the Kung Fu specialist who has appeared on multiple ChocoPro episodes as of late. His most recent match took place on episode forty-fine, when he bested Lulu Pencil. Shiryu will be one of the biggest challenges Koishikawa has faced yet. Keep in mind that he has been wrestling since 2004. Additionally, Shiryu held gold in Dramatic Dream Team, Ice Ribbon, and elsewhere. Needless to say, Shiryu intends to wrap up season three with a bang, even if it’s at the expense of Koishikawa.
Tokiko Kirihara vs. Lulu Pencil
To many ChocoPro fans, this is a highly anticipated rematch. Think back to episode forty-one, the Emi Sakura 25th anniversary event; these Gatoh Move rookies faced off in the opening match. Despite Lulu Pencil’s best efforts, it was Tokiko Kirihara that earned her first singles victory. Most recently, on episode fifty-one, the two rookies teamed up to face Koishikawa and Chie Koishikawa, picking up a tandem victory in the process. One can argue that, for being rivals, they make a formidable team.
My first victory in #ChocoPro !!!
This is just beginning of incredible streak…
Thanks a lot! This victory is because of you #PencilArmy!!!!#gtmv pic.twitter.com/L1hI8GPYp5— lulu pencil/ルル ペンシル(女子レスラー) (@lulupencil_gtmv) September 15, 2020
Despite their newfound respect for one another, Kirihara and Lulu Pencil must face off once more in season three. Lulu Pencil has been working hard since losing to “Otoki-san,” putting on strong efforts against the likes of Antonio Honda and Chris Brookes, the latter of whom stole her pink baseball cap on episode forty-four. Can the leader of the Pencil Army overcome Kirihara, avenging her episode forty-one loss and picking up her first singles victory?
Ryo Mizunami and Emi Sakura vs. Sayaka Obihiro and Mei Suruga (ChocoPro Main Event)
The final match of season three may be another instance of inter-promotional warfare in ChocoPro. It’s important to note that Ryo Mizunami and Emi Sakura were among the first joshi talent featured in All Elite Wrestling. They debuted at the company’s first event, Double or Nothing, in May of 2019. Though Sakura has been steadfast in building ChocoPro, she waves the AEW banner proudly, not unlike the SEAdLINNNG star in Mizunami. Heading into the season three finale, they will face two stalwarts of ChocoPro and Gatoh Move at large.

As much as Sayaka Obihiro and Mei Suruga may clamor for another singles match, they must put their differences aside on this show. Leading up to the season three finale, Obihiro and Suruga competed in multiple singles matches, trading victories along the way. As the more experienced wrestler of the two, Obihiro’s efforts in helping build Gatoh Move from the ground up can’t be overlooked. Meanwhile, Suruga has become one of the faces of the company in recent years. If there are any two wrestlers that could represent ChocoPro, heading into this main event, it would be “Sprint” and the “Apple Girl” themselves.
ChocoPro #54 will air on October 4th at 8 PM JST (7 AM EST.)
It will air live on the Gatoh Move YouTube channel for free before being available for on-demand viewing afterward. To support the company, you can sign up for their Patreon, which features multiple tiers, or their own on-demand streaming service linked below.
