UF.

UF: "Super Ethical Reality Climax" or the "SERC" (Endless curb stomps with a chair sitting on top of the opponent's face)

NOTES:
Ryo is a Japanese man who was born and raised in America and who's family owns the Bistro La Salle in nearby Tarrytown New York, will only break out the "SERC" as his UF in hardcore matches as he much rather prefers the "Gat Outta Hell" since it's less messy.

I recognized this sign up from Gamma, and I will say it again. I love this sign up and the names of some of the moves are great. Also, welcome.

Love this! Welcome abroad, I hope you enjoy it here.

Welcome!

Yay you are bringing Ryo here (H).

Changes made to reflect his post-Great War status.

I changed Ryo's theme back to him using "Trenches" because I honestly did not know that "I hope you suffer" was already in use, I thought that I had checked throughly. Apologies.
