[8.0] "What happened to Tanizaki? His early career was a plethora of him just kind of being there, with the exception of his Brave Gate win, to being a heel with Deep Drunkers and Blood Warriors, eventually becoming the beloved Mr. Kyu Kyu Toyonaka Dolphin to possibly the most deceptive heel turn in DG since Doi's first betrayal of Yoshino, to... what? No denying, he's an incredible wrestler, his knee strikes are possibly the best you'll ever find, but like Kzy, he's become the hidden gem unfortunate to become a loss post in a unit; VerserK already having one in Mondai Ryu and another in Kotoka. After his failed attempt to win the Brave Gate off Yosuke Santa Maria, he just seems to have fallen on hard times, which i hope he comes back from in a big way and eventually is VerserK's main challenger for the Brave Gate. Edit 2017: Wish he'd leave the shitty indies and return to Dragon Gate already."
