Seven Deadly Sins. - vs Emmanuelle

23.12.20 Osaka, Japan

*After many weeks of tiring and irritating meetings with Emmanuelle, the day would finally come when Arata would once and for all break the bubble in which this girl lived. Too blindly focused on herself and her alleged perfection, she had no idea what she would really face at War of the Worlds. However, her ignorance and lack of any responsibility were only her fault, for which she would have to be punished, because in life you always have to bear the consequences. In her case, a simple defeat was what would bring her back to reality and show her that she was overestimating herself in her own head. After all, she might understand that having considerable and many drawbacks is not what would take the Shogun Championship to the next level. However, it seems that, as usual, it was Arata's job to teach these people to understand reality. Each of those, who have declared war on him, so far was just one of many delusional people who ended up on their knees as they watched him lift the championship in triumph. Jacob Senn. Reginald Dampshaw III. Animus. And this is just what happened in Wrestleworld. This time it was no different, because Emmanuelle resembled the bunch of people he had met on his way so far, or actually the obstacles that it was always only a matter of time to get rid of. It was true that no matter how talented the opponent was, it was their personality that was what led them mainly to defeat. As you can see, not only fists are always the key to success, but also moderation, humility, understanding and, above all, hard work. After all, those who hold their head too high are the one to lose it first. *

*The video opens in a room that resembles a casino, in the first shot showing the current Wrestleworld Shogun Champion sitting comfortably on a black leather couch. He is dressed in a white shirt with the sleeves rolled up to the elbows and the top button open, gray suit trousers and brown leather shoes. There is a silver watch visible on his wrist and the Shogun Championship on his left shoulder. Arata clenches the leather part of the belt with his left hand, holding it close to him, while he opens the box with his other hand. The content of the black package are seven darts. The Japanese man takes out one of them and looks at it carefully, sending a kind of a smirk. After a while, however, he starts speaking, not taking his eyes off the object.*

Delusional. It's a word I say repeatedly, but for a good reason. Wherever you look, you can see a person perfectly described by these few letters, because these people are afraid of who they really are. They are afraid that they are too weak to meet the requirements they have set for themselves. They are afraid that they are too pathetic to become the best version of themselves. That's why they choose to take part in some damn performance and try to convince themselves that they are who they always wanted to be. The thing is, most of them are liars overwhelmed by their complexes, who can't stand the fact that there are people who look in the mirror and see themselves, not two completely different people. This is probably the biggest problem with this industry. Too many fake people, creating a self-confidence around them that they don't really have. On the one hand, however, I understand, because it's easier to lie to yourself when you keep repeating how good you are. But buried in all this illusion, they only forget more and more who they are, while one tiny shot from reality can change that. As you know pretty well, I didn't want to be rude all this time. I actually tolerated her idiotic and childish antics, because I gave her a chance to be treated like an annoying little sister. However, Emmanuelle chose the path of war, and if anyone looks at my career, they should know one thing. Others start wars, but I end them. That's why I'm the right person for the position of the Shogun of the Wrestleworld. Maybe Emmanuelle keeps repeating in her head that she is close to me, and even that she is what will take my division to a completely different level. Although looking at her words, I don't know if even she is blind and stupid enough to believe in her lies. Perhaps you only see overconfidence and cockines when you look at this girl, but I got to know her a little closer. To be honest, the moment I looked into her eyes I knew what was inside her. Namely, the six worst personality traits that humanity knows.

*Arata throws the first dart at the one part of the target with the Japanese inscription. Moments later, its translation appears on the screen for a few seconds.*


Starting with the Wrath that emanates from her. Seemingly calm, but it is clear that she cannot deal with the truth and how she reacts when someone finally says it to her face. Isn't that why you slapped me in the face some time ago, Emmy? Although, at that point I didn't know what pissed you off more. The fact that, I ignored your cheap attempt at showing a strength or the fact that I exposed you. I know your dream is to be the best, but simply put, you are not. As talented as you are, I must even say that you are nothing that I have not seen before. So I don't understand what Jaydayne meant by saying you are a challenge I haven't had so far, but to be honest you aren't even close to what I've been through the last year. You are not able to make me feel the anxiety Jacob Senn gave me. You are not able to make me feel the irritation that accompanied the presence of Reggie. You are unable to make me feel like I am going through the hell, that Animus created for me. You're just a new flavor of the month that definitely has a future, Emmy. The problem is, no one has said that now is the time for your success, especially since you made the worst possible choice. You may have won a Dreamscape Match, but none of the participants were up to the level of Senn, which you consider to be weak. Most importantly, none of the people from that match, including you, are on my level. That's why you can say whatever you want about me. You can argue for as long as you like that it's, because of you that people pay attention to our clash. You may fool yourself that Arata Asakura is just the past. But deep down in your heart, even you know that people buy the tickets for War of the Worlds to see their champion overcome the next obstacle in his path. And that's what pisses you off the most. This is what causes you so much aggression and that is why you attack me with each word. But no kind of anger from you is going to make me feel any worse, because I know my worth, Emmy. The real value that I have created over the past years with hard work. However, this is an aspect that such a little princess like you probably doesn't understand.

*The man takes another dart and makes the same move. The aftermath of his act is the same as a few minutes ago.*


This is how we move to the next trait that makes you unworthy of laying your dirty paws on my championship. Sloth. Let me tell you right away, you can deny it as long as you want, but you can't hide the fact that this disadvantage exists not only in your body, but also in your mind. From which the second thing is much more dangerous, because it makes you limit yourself. Let me explain this to you, because I doubt your pretty little head can comprehend it, Emmy, especially since you can't look at yourself objectively. Your laziness has a base in the fact, that you are so vain that you think you have reached perfection and do not need to be constantly working. In your brain you think that when you look in the mirror there is a version of Emmanuelle in front of you that is flawless. The problem is, perfection is unreachable, Emmy, ​​even if everyone is striving for it. In fact, the very idea of ​​this phenomenon was left to keep people pushing forward and fulfilling their ambition, otherwise they would be standing still. You don't understand it, that's why you've already stopped. However, this is the biggest mistake you can make in an industry where everything is happening so fast. See, Emmy, you might be getting your attention right now, because someone sees something special in you, but in a month's time someone will appear, who seems to be better at selling tickets. What I am trying to say is that, if you don't work hard, you'll just be sidelined and no one will even mention Emmanuelle in the future. Perhaps they will remember you as that mischievous little girl who thought she could defeat Arata Asakura. Therefore, you will either understand the concept of ​​hard work or your laziness will lead you to the end of your career faster than you think. I'm not even trying to scare you, Emmy, ​​but employers prefer to invest in those who pay back with their commitment. And while you always do your job well, you should want more with each passing day. Not only will you not make a good career with such an attitude, you will also not take the Shogun Championship to new heights, and you keep talking about it. Forgive me for saying this, but tits won't get people interested in the title. Especially since, contrary to your beliefs, I have been treated like a fucking god so far, because I did everything to make my division develop. Not only did I try, but I did it, and if you don't see it, you're either stupid or pretend you are. On the one hand, I know that you keep trying to convince yourself that I am not worth anything to encourage yourself, because you are just afraid of me. But the statistics speak for themselves, Emmy. Not only am I the first or longest reigning champion in the entire Wrestleworld, I also took the Shogun Championship to the KOTW finals. Or is it worth mentioning that I became Client of the Year. Some useless bitch would not be given the most important prize, but you are still like a broken record and keep repeating that I suck and I did nothing. Apart from the fact that I had the best two years of all the members of the company, you prefer to focus only on the bad things. Let's make an agreement, Emmy, if you judge me, take everything into account, not just selected scenarios that seem beneficial to you. Since I mentioned the tournament finals. I know that I screwed up, or rather my body did. However, I am only human, and I am not saying this as an excuse. My knee just let down, and as much as I felt bitterness after Tristan took the crown, I couldn't do anything about it. But it wasn't the first and last significant failure for me, Emmy. Even though nobody likes to talk about it, there are worse moments, but what's important in this industry is how you react to them. Every time I get hit in the face, I just turn the other cheek, because there is simply no force that would kill Arata Asakura. After I failed in the finals, I still returned to my duties as a champion. With Jacob Senn cashing in on me, and Animus betraying me, not long after I regained the championship that is mine. The championship that is me, because this title represents hard work and the man you see in front of you was made of two things. Failures and hard work. A cycle that repeats itself in some ways, but makes me come back stronger each time. While I get the feeling you can't handle any failure, because you think you're too good for it, Emmy. That is fucking problem with these so-called prodigy kids.You think no one can touch you, pushed by false faith created by a good streak, but the moment someone stops it, you won't know what to do with it. You will not be able to move forward, because it will require hard work from you, and these words are not even close to who you are. You give people an image of apparent perfection, because you don't want to do anything else to get better. While in this perfection, there are so many flaws, that you cannot handle them yourself.

*Another dart finds its place on the target and a revealed personality feature appears on the screen.*


Your lack of self-development amazes me even more, because I can see that you feel the lust to succeed. However, I get the impression that in an almost morbid and incomprehensible way. You see, it's a bit weird that you're not interested in taking new steps, but on the other hand you dream of a belt or two, right? The answer to all of this is simple, Emmy. You have such a desire for success that you are afraid to fail on your way to achieving it. You are terrified that this mask you put on will not be confirmed by the results you have and then people will stop believing in Emmanuelle. However, the feeling of being scared is not such a wrong thing, because it accompanies everyone and is a human emotion that should not be ashamed of. The biggest problem with this situation is that, you are so scared that you are doing things half way to give yourself an excuse when things go wrong. After all, you didn't try enough so why should you feel guilty, right? From the start I couldn't stand this attitude of yours. Since I saw you for the first time, I could not understand what you are doing here, since you not only don't care about wrestling, but also it disgusts you. Ultimately, you have to really hate yourself to do something that makes you gag. However, after watching you for a while, I finally noticed that you are actually more involved in this industry than I would have thought a few months ago. All this bullshit was supposed to be a contingency plan in case you failed, because it's better to blame factors other than our own incompetence. Besides, I don't think I will mention much about how you tried to make yourself a martyr who is a divine revelation to the fans of this company. You wanted them to think that they couldn't get along without you and that they would never see anything better. In fact, it seems that you expected gratitude for being here, although the wrestling industry is allegedly  like pain in the ass for you. See, Emmy, you're either a good liar or don't do it at all, because it only took me a few weeks to shatter your fake self-image. Just like I will destroy your vision of taking the Shogun Championship, because you simply do not only have not only a chance for it, but also the appropriate competences. All the good qualities the champion has are not what you are presenting since you set your foot here. Therefore, please do not treat the position of the leader as shallowly as if it is someone who just keeps the title. There are champions and there are title holders. You just need to look at Jacob Senn and me to see the difference. And to be fair, your situation is pretty similar. You are the challenger, but you are not a threat to my title reign. And I don't care if you probably start hitting the table with your hands, because that's the truth. Perhaps you keep saying all this time that if you wanted to, you would have taken my belt sooner. So let me ask you one thing. Where have you been these few months so far? After all, despite my personal problems, I always welcome every challenger. Even stupid Chad Kennedy, who didn't even deserve to be in the same ring with me. That's why I'll repeat myself, where have you been? You were not doing a shit and looking from the side, and when you finally got your chance, you were the one to talk the loudest. Perhaps your lust for success makes you blind enough to think you are some kind of prodigy kid. However, I am not and never have been. The thing is, it doesn't really matter. If you want to talk about how quickly it takes to reach the top, let's talk about one thing. It took several months for you to only get a title shot, while for me it was three shows to become a champion. Not because someone had such a whim, but because when they signed the contract with me, they knew that I was the future of this industry. There is a reason why I won so many titles or became the Grand Slam Champion in ALPHA in a short time. There must be something special about me since even in Wrestleworld they entrusted me the role of first champ, and you know what, Emmy? The fact that I have so much success in life makes you unable to respect me, and simply put to hate me, because envy is killing you from the inside out.


That's why you made that choice, Emmanuelle. It was never about the Shogun Title, because if it were the case, you wouldn't wait until the last minute with the decision. To be honest, there are two things that make up your mind. Wanting to be the center of attention, but we'll talk about that later. While the second and more important thing is that you are simply jealous. So forgive me, princess, but I didn't feel offended right from the start when you said you didn't choose me, because I knew it wasn't true. Apart from the fact that you don't remember what you say yourself, because you wrote on Twitter a few months ago how much you would like to face such a great champion, I know that despite your words, you would really like to have what belongs to me in Wrestleworld. Hence, you are discrediting my achievements to soothe your hurt ego, because you can't stand that someone could be more valuable to the company than the 'wonderful Emmanuelle'. However, people don't believe any of your words, and most of all they know what is leading you. Though there's nothing wrong with being jealous, right? Sometimes it's a good motivation to move forward. The problem is, you're using it the wrong way. Instead of reaching the level of the enviable person at all costs, your envy makes you try to humiliate them. But is this behavior worthy of a champion? Nobody wants someone who has no idea what respect is as the face of the division. And since I mentioned this word, it proves that you are lying all the time. You don't respect me. I'm kind of worthless, but anyway you chose me from four possible options. Therefore, even if this is the case in your head, it only shows how unambitious you are and that you want an easy situation. But the reality is different, honey, and I'm literally the only choice that is beyond your level. Therefore, you can continue barking, but everyone can see that jealousy is speaking through you. You don't have to have a high IQ to see that you would like to be like Arata Asakura. Why? Because maybe you don't like me, but it doesn't change the fact that I'm not only the standard of this place. I am the fucking Ace of Wrestleworld. The level you will never reach.

*Another of the darts is on the target and Arata sends a modest smile that shows some irony. The man runs his fingers through his hair and bites his lip as if waiting for it to come to this point. Moments later, he continues his speech.*


I would say that we should not take everything literally, because the gluttony I am going to talk about has nothing to do with the physical shape of Emma. By this particular disadvantage I mean something else, namely how this girl is fond of being in the spotlight. In this way, we come back to what I said a moment ago, and exactly the reasons for her choice, but from a slightly different perspective. Therefore, let's take a look at it. It is obvious that Emmanuelle knew what she was doing while challenging me, because she was aware my presence would attract the attention of the cameras. So, contrary to what you said during our press conference, I'm not surprised that people talk so much about our match. But it's not mostly your merit, Emmy. These people are here, because they want to see me, and you know that where Arata is, there is centered attention. An attention that you disgustingly need, but at least you found it in the right place. In fact, I come back to your opinion about me and to the fact that your actions contradict your words again. If I hadn't been special to this place, you wouldn't be looking for the spotlight by my side. But you did it, and you know why. Because in front of you, you have a guy who killed his first year at the company, from titles to tournaments and prizes. You have someone in front of you that everyone wants. Not only the title, but also me, because Reginald Dampshaw III came for my head. It is on me that Jacob Senn found release of his obsession towards me, when he cashed in his contract. It was towards me that Animus pretended to be a companion, while sooner or later stabbed me in the back. As much as these situations were annoying, they only show how important not only the Shogun Title is in this company, but also the champion himself. And then you came in completing it all as Dreamscape winner. Showing everyone which of the four choices is most desirable. The answer is always brought back to me, Emmy, ​​and that won't change, because I'm one of the best things that happened to this place. Whereas you are one of the many parts of building my legacy. Although, you think that's why it would be beneficial to make your stepping stone out of me, but you don't have the right tools to do it. No matter how badly you want this success, and no matter how the vision of constant attention being given makes your heart beat faster, it is just not the option. I sincerely understand your choice more and more. Defeating someone like me...someone who is a pillar of the Shogun division and Wrestleworld as a whole would give you publicity to stuff on. However, I have to ruin your dreams and tell you one thing. Perhaps you expect a great feast after War of the Worlds, but at the end of the day you will get a slice of stale bread.


However, you are so greedy for attention that it is not enough for you to get it from your fans through your childish behavior. You want me to keep my eyes on you at all costs. That's why you attacked my student after the match, even if you had no reason. You are the one saying that I'm not very impressive and at the same time you expect me to be delighted with such a cheap shot? You did not show your strength in this way, but your weakness. No strong fighter has to wait for someone to turn their backs and if someone needs to earn someone's respect, it's you. Because you haven't given me reasons so far. Talent alone is not enough, because other values ​​matter as well in this industry. Values that you do not understand. Values, that ​​you need to develop your company and you would only make it stand still. I dare to say it would even step backwards. Hence, I have no choice, but to stop this whole farce and send you at the end of the line, because your delusional nature gets to the next level. Let's say one thing once and for all, Emmy. You are not what this division is about, nor do you have the skills or personality traits to bear the responsibility that comes with being a champion.

*There was only one more dart left in the black package, but to everyone's surprise, the man closes it and puts it on the table. Then he licks his dry lips and moves to the last part of his speech.*


While speaking of all this, it may seem to you that I present Emmanuelle to you as a pure evil, while I myself am presented as a god. However, this is not true, because I have many faults myself and the one that most often made my life difficult was well known to everyone. Pride. As you know pretty well, my ignorance and too much self-confidence made me fail at the worst possible moments. However, I have never treated it only as a disadvantage, but also as an advantage in some way. An advantage that was a warning against disregarding opponents, who looked weak at first glance. An advantage that always makes me give my best, because if I am already arrogant then I should give people a reason why I have the right to do so. Forgive me, but I personally believe that as long as you are good enough, you can hold your head a little higher. However, since this has become an advantage for me, why aren't the six other sins that describe Emmanuelle? The thing is very simple. As long as you understand your weaknesses, no one can use them against you. Moreover, they can become your golden ticket. Whereas Emmanuell believes she is perfect enough, that she cannot see the sins that accompany her. Therefore, as long as she blindly looks at who she is, not only people will take advantage of her attention whore attitude, ignorance and laziness. But most of all, she will kill who she is, and then there will be no rescue for her. That's why, someone who cannot take care of herself is not able to take care of the entire division. And you'll find out at War of the Worlds what I am talking about, when I leave the ring with the title, because the hands you see here are the only safe place for that championship.

For over a year I have not allowed anyone to destroy what I have built and this time I will not allow a stupid selfish princess to bring her order. If not only for this division or company. But for my own Pride.

*The smirk reappears on Arata's face and this is a way that the recording ends.*
