They challenged, and bested, the duo of Mitsuru Konno and <strong>Yuna Mizumori<\/strong> in an exciting tag team match. Needless to say, the founder of Gatoh Move has been on a roll, especially after a lackluster season two. As we move further into season three, it&#8217;s evident that Sakura&#8217;s back issues have become less intense, which has led her to perform at a high level. On this episode, however, she will have the deck stacked against her and she won&#8217;t even have her fellow <strong>Pencil Army<\/strong> member to help her out.<\/p>\n<p>For the first time since July, Konno will team with Tokiko Kirihara to challenge Sakura. As a team, Konno and Kirihara share charisma and hard-hitting offense alike. Between Konno&#8217;s grueling submissions and Kirihara&#8217;s powerful strikes, Sakura will have to bring everything she has into this upcoming match. Can the current Asia Dream Tag Team Champion overcome her proteges? Will \u201cOtoki\u201d and \u201cOtsuru\u201d pick up a collective win in this handicap match? Tune into this upcoming episode of ChocoPro to find out!<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Lulu Pencil vs. Ryo Mizunami<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Making her ChocoPro return will be Ryo Mizunami; her last appearance was on episode nine back in May. Since then, she has been a regular performer in <strong>SEAdLINNNG<\/strong>, specifically as a member of the musical group known as <strong>MAX VOLTAGE<\/strong>. Fun fact: MAX VOLTAGE also features <strong>Nanae Takahashi<\/strong>, who founded SEAdLINNNG back in 2015. In any event, Mizunami will be returning to Ichigaya Chocolate Square solo. She will also have an interesting opponent waiting for her in the form of \u201cThe Mightiest\u201d Lulu Pencil.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"ja\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/MIZUNAMISHOUTEN?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">#MIZUNAMISHOUTEN<\/a> \u306e\u30b5\u30a4\u30c8\u306b\u5546\u54c1\u7d39\u4ecb\u52d5\u753b\u3092\u30a2\u30c3\u30d7\u3057\u305f\u306e\u3067\u7686\u3055\u3093\u898b\u3066\u306d\u2728<\/p>\n<p>\u7279\u5225\u30b2\u30b9\u30c8\u306e\u304a\u4e8c\u4eba\u304c\u51fa\u6f14\u3057\u3066\u304f\u3060\u3055\u3063\u3066\u307e\u3059\ud83d\ude06<br \/>\ud83d\udc47<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/CDx8NOr9eT\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/t.co\/CDx8NOr9eT<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u5199\u771f\u306f\u30d0\u30e9\u3068\u6c34\u6ce2\ud83c\udf39<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/%E6%B0%B4%E6%B3%A2%E7%B6%BE?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">#\u6c34\u6ce2\u7dbe<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/ryomizunami?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">#ryomizunami<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/ANIKI?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">#ANIKI<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/%E3%82%A2%E3%83%8B%E3%82%AD?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">#\u30a2\u30cb\u30ad<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/MbXq47pxef\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/MbXq47pxef<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; \u6c34\u6ce2\u7dbe (Ryo Mizunami) (@mizunami0324) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/mizunami0324\/status\/1272550768533364736?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">June 15, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Whether she&#8217;s known as the freelance writer of Gatoh Move or ChocoPro&#8217;s \u201cFinal Boss,\u201d Lulu Pencil is undeniably popular.

Now that she&#8217;s up against an outside challenge in Mizunami, Lulu Pencil will have even less of an idea of what to expect.
