This will feature much of the same action that ChocoPro fans have come to love, as well as the return of an <strong>Actwres girl&#8217;Z<\/strong> star that made a huge impact in her recent showings. What should fans come to expect on this upcoming episode? Let&#8217;s run down the action set to take place.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/GLdV8gC.jpg\" alt=\"Emi Sakura Sayuri\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Emi Sakura vs. Sayuri<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Starting ChocoPro #116 will be a singles encounter between <strong>Emi Sakura<\/strong>, or \u201cEmi Pencil,\u201d and <strong>Sayuri<\/strong>, the \u201cKunoichi\u201d of Gatoh Move. To say that <strong>Pencil Army<\/strong> has been in a slump would be an understatement. On the previous episode, Sakura battled former Pencil Army member <strong>Chris Brookes<\/strong>. The match would devolve into chaos as multiple stars became involved, capped off with Brookes storming out of Ichigaya Chocolate Square. On this show, Sakura returns to singles action to battle Sayuri, who will undoubtedly be looking for momentum with a singles victory. Who will come out on top in this opening match?<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/09wU2cs.jpg\" alt=\"ChocoPro #116\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Chie Koishikawa and Sayaka vs. Lulu Pencil and Baliyan Akki<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The second match on ChocoPro #116 will feature three <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/2021\/03\/01\/fourth-generation-gatoh-move-stars\/\" target=\"_self\">fourth-generation Gatoh Move stars<\/a> and one-half of the Asia Dream Tag Team Champions. On the previous episode, <strong>Lulu Pencil<\/strong> teamed with <strong>Minoru Fujita<\/strong>, or \u201cMino Pencil,\u201d in a losing effort to <strong>Best Bros<\/strong>. Keep in mind that Lulu Pencil has been on an emotional slump, brought on by Brookes defecting from Pencil Army back on episode #110. However, with a supportive <strong>Baliyan Akki<\/strong> by her side, the Pencil Army commanding officer will be looking to get things back on track. Given the combined exuberance and energy of <strong>Chie Koishikawa<\/strong> and <strong>Sayaka<\/strong>, however, this may be easier said than done.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" class=\"size-full wp-image-91635 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2021\/05\/chocopro-116.jpg\" alt=\"ChocoPro #116\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2021\/05\/chocopro-116.jpg 600w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2021\/05\/chocopro-116-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Mei Suruga vs. Yuko Sakurai (ChocoPro Main Event)<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Making her return to Ichigaya Chocolate Square is Actwres girl&#8217;Z star <strong>Yuko Sakurai<\/strong>. Her last appearance on ChocoPro took place on episode #112, where she picked up a sizable victory over Chie Koishikawa. The episode before that, Sakurai battled <strong>Tokiko Kirihara<\/strong> in a losing yet valiant effort. In addition to being a voice actress, Sakurai is a capable powerhouse wrestler, showcasing unlimited potential despite still being relatively new to the wrestling business. In this ChocoPro main event, however, she will step up to perhaps the greatest challenge of her young career to date.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mei Suruga<\/strong> is many things. In addition to being one-half of the Asia Dream Tag Team Champions, \u201cThe Apple Girl\u201d is Gatoh Move&#8217;s premier star. Her cheerful demeanor is just as undeniable as her wily tactics, the latter of which have helped her attain considerable success. As of this writing, Suruga is on a ten-match winning streak in ChocoPro, which began on episode #104 last month. Can \u201cMei-chan\u201d continue her winning ways against a hungry Sakurai? This will be a main event not to miss.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>ChocoPro #116 will air on May 15 at 10:00 AM JST (May 14 at 9:00 PM EST)<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>It will air live on the Gatoh Move YouTube channel for free before being available for on-demand viewing afterward.
