Japanese crossword «Zipper the Fly (Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers)»

We all have different styles of approaching these I think. This week I have been totally stymied (needed hints) on puzzles that others thought were not that difficult. Oddly enough I didn't have too much difficulty with this one that you and msat found to be hard. Maybe that is why the difficulty ratings tend to gravitate toward 3.

I don't rate them either because after having done 16,000+ and learned so many logic tricks I may not rate them fairly. Meaning easy to me wouldn't be easy to a newbie.
