The two sides for the Castle Siege Death Match met each other on neutral grounds (the Dropkick Bar in Shinjuku) to determine the rules for their upcoming war in detail. The only problem was Sanshiro Takagi hadn’t thought up of the rules yet. Thinking on the spot, Takagi decided that both teams will have a castle made out of 20 chairs each set up inside Korakuen Hall. Tsurumi Amon wasn’t pleased with the idea because those 40 chairs might be needed for the audience. Takagi then came up with the idea of each castle having features like a keep, a gun turret and a moat. Amon said that would be impossible because DDT does not have the money to build such features (maybe they could cut a deal with the porn studio that built a house inside Korakuen for Big Japan back in 2003). He told the two sides that if they wanted siege weaponry, they would have to pay for it themselves. Takagi searched through his pockets for money and found 1,350 yen, a movie ticket stub, some receipts and a Chinese restaurant voucher. Everyone else pitched in and eventually both sides ended up with a war chest of 30,000 yen each to spend on their arsenal.
