[9.0] "There's a big hole in ChocoPro now she's gone. A better wrestler than both Yunamon and Mei, with one of the best bridges you'll see, they never seemed quite sure how to use her- maybe her being slightly older was part of that as well? My Gatoh/Choco favourite and always will be."
[8.0] "Well, Mitsuru retired a week ago, which means it's possible to sum up her career. First of all, the downside is tangible - Mitsuru hasn't won a single belt in her career, although she was more than worthy of it - tag-team with Sawasdee Kamen could have done it. Secondly, when her career went up (return in ChocoPro, MVP of 2nd season, the nickname "Beer Badass" , a series of very important matches and wins) it was then that she suffers a leg injury and essentially ended her career. You could say she ended her career at its peak. There is a sense of understatement in her career and it makes me sad. Because Mitsuru is a very good, technical wrestler with an arsenal of all sorts of submissions. It's a pleasure to watch her wrestle. She has said more than once that wrestling is not fun for her, but at the graduation ceremony she did say it was fun! There won't be a second Mitsuru - and that's a good thing. It's good that she's not leaving wrestling forever, but will be helping the guys from Gatoh Move backstage. Thanks for the incredible emotions, Konno Mitsuru. Glad I got to see your ascent to the top. It was really fun!"
[8.0] "Eine sehr sympathische Lady, mit einem Hang zu einem übermässigen Bierkonsum. Obendrauf konnte sie noch gut wrestlen. Es ist wirklich bitter und schade, dass sie ihre Karriere beendet hat bzw. es musste. Eine der Eckpfeiler von Gatoh Move/ChocoPro. Habe Mitsu immer sehr gerne gesehen. Beer Time!"
[7.0] "Mitsuru is an odd case. On one side, a technically adequate-to-good wrestler, less keen to nonsense wrestling than Her friends at Gatoh. On the other side I have the constant feeling She'll never be relevant inside Her own home promotion. Her role in Gatoh isn't defined and changes shape too frequently. When Riho was recently injured She presented Herself as the interim-ace, a very nice idea because just one step-up is needed and She could be a believable one (due to experience and lack of other candidates. Mei doesn't count at least for another year), but nothing serious followed (same goes for Her matches with Emi, vs Sawasdee and in the GoGo Green Curry Koppun Cup). Even when it seems there will be some kind of "redemption-story", the final result is always the same. Last factor is the person Herself outside the match. Mitsuru is lovely and Her 2-shots picture with beer (& Co. ) is one of the best merchandise-related ideas I've ever saw. If it wasn't for the position She has in Gatoh's hierarchy (where literally everybody seems ahead of Her), this rating would be a 8 or 9."
