Japanese pro wrestlers become anime girls for new trading card game

wrestler1

Well here’s something we never thought we’d see or even imagine or think about or have any interest in.

For some reason popular Ring Dream: Girl’s Pro Wrestling Battle online trading card game, which lets players pit their anime girl wrestlers against each other for in-game prizes and bragging rights, is teaming with Japanese pro wrestling association DDT to turn some of DDT’s most popular male wrestlers into in-game characters. In-game female characters.

Moral issues of forcing adolescent girls to fight each other in a ring until one wins and the other goes back into her Pokeball or something aside, this just seems like the most out-of-left-field thing any marketing team could come up with.

Sigh… well, we suppose it’s better than ruthless dictators-turned anime girls.

▼ Here’s typically ogre-like Sanshiro Takagi looking much prettier.

▼ Funnyman Michael Nakazawa gets the sporty treatment.

▼ Already bizarre-looking Antonio Honda gets an equally bizarre anime girl look, complete with inexplicable tail.
