"Tenderness is weakness"

Young Date Naoto has been living in small orphanage when it came to crisis. They're going to be kicked out for late rent. Feeling helpless and weak, Naoto accepted an offer from mysterious man called Mr.X who promise him strength. He took Naoto and few other kids to be trained in mountain called Tiger's Nest. It's harsh and they're taught to never sympathize even with fellow trainees. 

Then, 10 years passed and Naoto's training awards him strength from Mr. X's researched, tiger mask. The mask boosts human's power into super level. Naoto begins his job as wrestler, along with two other kids who received similar mask, Dan and Joe. However, the only friend he had for 10 years training, Dan, is killed by Mr.X and Naoto starts questioning his way of life. He decides to quit TIger's Nest and returns to the orphanage. Just when he thought he found peace, his tiger's nest fellows hunt him….

You don't see Wentz's acting everyday, so this one is precious. XD. The story is mediocre, though.  Even so, I can't help asking why Mr.X wants to train this kids? He's not their Daddy-long-legs, anyway. They manage to keep it secret until the end of the movie and it's what keeps me watching….. just to be disappointed. huh.

This must have second movie. Everything is so blur except for Naoto's feeling toward Ruri chan. XD

I don't think Natsuna is cute enough to be paired with Wentz, though. Shaku Yumiko is also an eyesore. Her role is a cold fighter, but she always looks worrying (I hate watching the same expression in her every scene). She's not good actress, I know. Can't they cast someone who match the story????
