When Valerija Serapin learn the she would be playing in Japan, she was excited. That country was a place described to he in the media other children enjoyed. She never dream she would ever be able to experience this place first-hand. In a land of amazing stories, she would write her own. She would bring two empty suitcases to fill with purchased goods. She would fill those suitcases and send multiple boxes full of exclusive goods both to Montreal and to her parents in Lithuania. She made a vocal cameo in a popular amine speaking  her native Lithuanian. The craziest event of the trip came when members of the Inagawa-kai family of the Yakuza called and said that their boss wanted to chat. Not wanting to cause problems for her teammates, Valerija actually went. The boss said that many  members of his organization are fan of her. Of her story and her toughness. He invited her to an underground fighting tournament. She would sign some autographs, beat up some thugs, and win not only the tournament but also the respect of some dangerous people.
