>>18321423 (OP)>The story is Iyo wants to be friends with Asuka but Asuka is jealous of the younger more popular Japanese woman.It's more like
>IYO likes and respects Asuka and wants to be her friend>Asuka only cares about Kairi and herselfwhich is consistent with Asuka's character. Asuka always betrays everyone, but Kairi and she's only really friends with Kairi because Kairi is the Jannetty and therefore will never have anything Asuka wants. what's unfortunate (or fortunate) is Kairi is too old and meh in the ring so she's never going to be champ so unless they make the feud be about the US or IC title for some reason, there isn't any reason for conflict between Kairi and Asuka because Kairi is never going to be in Asuka's way.
>>18321724Nah, Asuka joined damage ctrl to protect kairi. Now that damage ctrl has broken up Asuka doesn't need to pretend she likes IYO.
Asuka is entirely motivated by selfishness and her desire to be champ
