Character Name: Masuda Jubei
Nickname: "The Master"
Hometown: Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan
Height: 5’ 9"
Weight: 218 lbs.
Alignment: Heel
In-Ring Style: Puroresu-submissionist
Bio:
The Master began a short-lived career in pro-wrestling during the mid-90's, but never achieved anything above midcard success. Deteriorating relationships with ownership soon led to debt and inevitable mix-ups with bad brokers. His relentless ring style made him a difficult target for regular thugs looking to collect on his debts. Powerful men - those representing an organization mired by public opinion – instead brought Jubei into their fold. He flourished there until weak turnovers in leadership paved way for his rise into a hushed power struggle that Jubei undoubtedly won.
In the summer of 2017, a slimy promoter named Vincent Pryde asked for funds to make a company based out of Madison Square Garden. While most proposals would have been a swiped away from Jubei's feet, the prospect of having his hands in a pro-wrestling promotion brought a smile to a man many assumed had lost his soul. Its failure financially resulted in it being pulled from SYFY. Months later, and still possessing most of the company's assets - minus a few memorable faces - The Master gathered resources to purchase TV rights for a rebirth of New Blood Wrestling. All of which turned out to be a farce. It only took a few months for his talent to recognize the signs of a scam and run.
Truly, Jubei had insidious intent to build himself as he had decade prior. His nickname "The Master" came from his dream of owning the best talent in the world. Now, with the promise of new souls in the promotion Alpha Wrestling, Jubei has once again emerged from the shadows to full his dark purpose. In September 2019—mere days after hosting his own Alpha PPV “Jubeilation”, as well as his 47th birthday—Masuda died while competing in a cross-promotional wrestling tournament.
After slipping away from the minds of most of the APW locker room. Forgotten for the time he held its World Title hostage, as well, The Master has returned to remind the wrestling world why his names remains one to fear in the sport. His reasons for this abrupt return, however, remain shrouded in shadows like most of his personal history. Just what could Masuda Jubei want this time around…?
Attire: Wrestling: Black mid-length boots, short black tights, taped wrists.
(entrance) Black haori jacket with Masuda family insignias.
(Backstage) all-black or blood red suits; sometimes, an all-black haori outfit with Masuda emblems
Pic Base: Minoru Suzuki
Theme: “Der Konig der Dunkelheit” – D
Entrance:
The arena goes black within a prolonged silence. When the graveled voice of veteran voice actor Hitoshi Ozawa declares to the heavens : “Ōsama banzai!”
Fans gasp at a sudden gong resounding throughout the arena. Opening riffs of “Der Konig der Dunkelheit” by D play Masuda Jubei’s dominant figure into that darkness with a layer of fog piping beneath his feet. Clips of previous matches play on the Alpha-tron behind him, glittering off his silky black haori. Bearing Masuda’s family insignia, it covers his upper body—all except for a narrow gap fastened by a white and gold cord. He remains atop the ramp, arms crossed and unimpressed by their sundering boos.
Jessica Kaine: On his way to the ring from Yokohama, Japan… weighing 215 pounds… “The Master” Masuda Jubei!
Jubei paces down the ramp after that initial chorus so that his dark presence pervades with that steady rhythm of grand confidence. He circles to the far side of the ring within earshot of the announce table before climbing onto the apron. Jubei disrobes at the second line of chorus so everyone can get a long look at his back tattoo of the Buddhist demon king Fudō Myō-ō. He then ducks into the ring towards center stage. His terrible visage somehow brings on louder jeers. Jubei basks in it while securing his side of the ring, waiting for the match to begin.
Favorite moves:
Submissions: arm bar counters, sleeper hold, neck vise, abdominal stretch + nerve hold
Strikes: Elbow combinations, wear-down kicks, head butt, soccer kicks to ribs
Suplexes: dragon suplex, stalling butterfly suplex, saito suplex
Misc.: Dragon screw, grounded stomps, mounted punching, snapmare + chest kick
Top Rope and to the outside: Suicide spear an opponent through the ropes
Signature move(s):
**Jubei gives some of the hardest chops in wrestling, and uses them to slow down matches**
1) “Enma Dai-o” – one-handed choke into a backbreaker w/ thumbs down gesture
2) (Hardcore signature) “Masuda-plex” – saito suplex while holding a kendo stick
3) Rolling knee bar
Finisher(s):
1) “Masuda Driver” – Stalling reverse suplex into an Emerald Flowsion
2) (rare, BUT might tease move without using it) a Gotch style piledriver
3) (Extremely Rare - only for a finish) “God Style” – a Gotch Piledriver modified into an inverted kneeling tombstone
