After having surprising success with SKE48 member Yuki Arai, Takagi scored another get by signing popular TikToker, stuntwoman, and karate champion Juria Nagano. Arai was originally supposed to only wrestle once a month until the end of 2021 but quickly started asking for more training and more matches and to keep wrestling. Juria shows none of this work ethic and can't even be bothered to show up once a month. She doesn't really seem to train and seemingly can't even run the ropes because she's never actually hit them in a match. Her TikTok popularity hasn't translated into any increased eyes on TJPW and unlike Arai, who quickly moved up the card and became a champion while still basically a rookie, Juria—when she does show up—works the bottom of the card in short matches where she doesn't really do much more than some weak looking striking combinations.
