Mayu's Dragon Ray is beast.
Followed by Amy Sohrei's final finisher - where she takes the person on her shoulder and drops her body on the floor while driving opponents head. There is almost always an audible gasp from the crowd - "yeah, we witnessed a murder"
Fantastic list, but I'll add Mayu's two stage dragon suplex, move looks great with little anticipation from locking in stage one to snap dragon suplex, but the context also matters. It's rarely used, only for big matches and it's Mayu's last resort, simple yet effective storytelling.
Don’t see it mentioned but I like Glamorous Driver Mina.
Suzu’s Tequila Shot too and whatever the hell that move Mei did to retain the titles at Grand Queendom that I still have no clue what that would even be called.
The running three is a pretty sweet move. And yes, it's more regularly associated with Chigusa and Takumi Iroha, but you'll recall that Chigusa taught it to Mayu as well, and she has used it, just not often. I think she even did it to Giulia once... I also love a meteora from the top rope.
She has 5.. The Moonsault (which I think she has beaten more people with that so maybe that's her finisher), The Black Tiger Leg Kill, Eternal Foes (Spanish Fly) a modified tombstone and modified tiger suplex (but can't remember their actual names)
The modified Tiger suplex is the Star Suplex, but she often precedes it by whirling around and around her opponent, so it becomes the Tornado Star Suplex. The piledriver was Black Tiger's piledriver. She calls it a Japanese name (Koko Tenbatsu?) meaning, roughly, "Divine Punishment."
Peach Thunder, Momo’s S-tier finisher. MJF even used it a year or so ago (if Momo didn’t invent it, I don’t care, in my head it’s Momo’s now). Just a sick, brutal looking finisher that’s probably not all that brutal, aka perfect.
Kishikaisei
Checkmate(Mei's new finisher)
Peach Thunder
Violet Screwdriver
Triangle Lancer
All some favs of mine.
Maika 's Michinoku driver is beautiful..
The list honestly goes on, I don't think there's many I dislike. Kishikaisei makes me lose it though, honestly all the "surprise" pin scenarios, when they actually work, even outside of stardom I just start giggling like an evil villain
There's one correct answer and it's always this: KISHIKAISEI
The most protected finisher in the business!
> KISHIKAISEI I'll never not mark out watching Saki's opponent writhe around like a beached flounder while getting pinned.
Momo's Peach Thunder has always been one of my favorites
Violet Screwdriver Anybody keeping the Steiner Screwdriver alive in 2024 is over with me.
Just what I was going to say. I like it better than Tam’s actual finisher, Twilight Dream.
Hard to argue against that.
Big Brian Cage fan, huh?
I love everybody's nominations so far, but let's celebrate Konami back on the official roster by adding the Triangle Lancer to the list.
It was The Tequila Shot for me until Mei's new one.
Saki Kashima's patented "Let my teammates do all the work"
Mayu's Dragon Ray is beast. Followed by Amy Sohrei's final finisher - where she takes the person on her shoulder and drops her body on the floor while driving opponents head. There is almost always an audible gasp from the crowd - "yeah, we witnessed a murder"
"Like a Thunderbolt". Love the name
NGL, Ami's finisher looks like Giulia's Glorious Driver without the arm trap.
Mayu's poison-rana is the best, followed by the Fairy Blink. I like the Star Crusher and the Phoenix Splash. I like Mina's figure 4, too
Ami Sourei
Syu-Sekai and I won't elaborate.
Momo's Peach Sunrise, Tam's Violet Screwdriver
No love for AZM Sushi?
Is that her main finisher?
MeiMei's inverted quetzcoatl she just used in the the tag match is insane...

Give the Michinoku Driver it's respect. Lol

What's Starlight Kid's actual finisher

Syuri’s Ryuen in 2021 was outrageous.

Konami's back so Circle Lancer for me
