The story
Fuwa-chan, who joined the pro wrestling promotion Stardom after stepping back from entertainment, shared her feelings on her own X account by September 11. She spent this summer on an overseas excursion, and at the September 6 Korakuen Hall show she teamed up with Hazuki and Saori Anno to score her first win since returning to Japan, describing her state of mind with the distinctive phrase “Utterly — these are the eyes of a pro wrestler.” Reactions on 5channel were sharply split, ranging from blunt jabs like “Never found her fun to begin with” to praise for her toned physique, to comments bringing up the past behavior that led to her hiatus.

Pro wrestler Fuwa-chan updated her own X account by the 11th, writing about her pride as a wrestler and sparking a wave of reactions.
Fuwa-chan joined Stardom and made her pro wrestling debut after a period away from public life. This summer she went on an overseas excursion to the United States. On the 6th, at “STARDOM in KORAKUEN 2026 Sep.” held at Korakuen Hall, she teamed with Hazuki and Saori Anno in a six-woman tag match against the trio of Waka Tsukiyama, HANAKO, and Lady C, picking up her first win since returning to Japan.

What people said
I found her unpleasant.
Run! Seriously, run!
Though she might not be able to beat the Self-Defense Forces
Her face looks sharper/tougher too.
Not something Yasuko could pull off.
She was seriously full of herself and way too cocky
But she's still young
Maybe hitting rock bottom and seeing hell will straighten her out.
She's getting bashed here, but honestly she's got the presence down and looks cool.
Doesn't seem like she's just filling the "pretty wrestler" slot.
Wait, is she even in the "pretty girl" slot though?
Everyone knows way too much about what she did before this.
Pretty much all of women's wrestling is like that though.
Background and Talking Points
Fuwa-chan went on hiatus after her conduct on an airplane, among other incidents, drew criticism, and later relaunched her career by joining the pro wrestling promotion Stardom. Opinions in the thread are split partly because there’s still no consensus on how to judge the past behavior that led to her hiatus, and partly because many pointed out that her phrase “kanpu naki made ni” (literally “utterly” or “thoroughly”) is normally used in a negative sense — to describe being completely crushed or defeated — making it an odd word choice for a declaration of resolve. At the same time, plenty of comments genuinely praised her performance at Korakuen Hall and her physical transformation, resulting in reactions too mixed to sum up as simple approval or disapproval.
