6b. Shuji Ishikawa pinned Isami Kodaka with the Splash Mountain (14:10).
6c. Isami Kodaka pinned FUMA with the Isamu Leg (21:30).

Among the instruments and equipment involved in the Giant Recital were guitars, trumpets and Yama amplifiers. Shuji Ishikawa was disappointed he didn’t get to sing. He and Naomi Susan invited Hiroshi Fukuda and Jun Kasai into the ring to sing a song. Isami Kodaka interrupted to challenge Kasai to a match for Freedoms at Korakuen Hall in May.

A Mascara Contra Exile match kicked off the show. It turns out the Nazo Fukumen has a third member since the female masked wrestler from the last show was replaced with a new masked man instead (Mio… I mean the mystery woman missed the show due to illness). Fukuda guessed Kijimuna was behind the mask. Kasai just casually said Ken Ohka was one of them. A Small Package led to Fukuda and Nazo Fukumen C pinning each other to end the match in a draw. As a result, Fukuda is now exiled from Union while Nazo Fukumen C had to unmask. The masked man was revealed to be Shota, who hadn’t wrestled in DDT or Union since last August and was desperate to return. He apologised for his plan and left the arena crying. Meanwhile Kasai consoled Fukuda and gave him a 5 bell salute.

The creator of the Union Fly To Everywhere World Title is now its first champion. Kaori Yoneyama defeated Cherry in the decision match to crown the first FTE Champion. Nazo Fukumen A challenged Kaori to a title match but Rumi Kazama refused to sanction the match because she said it is strictly a women’s championship. The masked man told Kazama to never forget those words and left. Yoneyama declared she will defend her new championship many times to any woman who challenges her.

The New Beijing team returned to Union with a fire in their belly. They were very angry over the controversial Japanese toilets versus Chinese toilets argument they had with Hiroshi Fukuda & Jun Kasai last month. Shiryu was upset that Cao Zhang was now put into a pointless match with the rookie SAGAT. He decided to make the match meaningful by presenting a mysterious bottle of liquid. Shiryu said it was a forbidden Vampire Elixir that was developed in China over 2,800 years ago. He claims the elixir can turn the dead into vampires. However, it is illegal in Japan to turn the dead into vampires so the bottle will be put up as a prize for the winner of the match. Cao Zhang defeated SAGAT and Shiryu forced SAGAT to drink the liquid. Shiryu promised that SAGAT will return with 4,000 years of Chinese technology powering him.

Kenny Omega will wrestle for Union on 5th April in Shin-Kiba 1st RING.

5. Teach Me What I Am Missing: Sanshiro Takagi defeated Keisuke Ishii with the Sit Down Himawari Bomb (9:31).
6. Masa Takanashi defeated Konosuke Takeshita with the Doburoku (15:38).
7. 3 Way Tag Team Match: Shigehiro Irie & Takao Soma defeated Yasu Urano & KUDO and Kota Ibushi & Gota Ihashi when Irie pinned Ihashi with the Flying Sausage (14:32).

Despite winning the main event and riding a wave of momentum, Shigehiro Irie admitted he is afraid he might lose his KO-D Openweight Title match against Kenny Omega on 20th March. A reinvigorated Keisuke Ishii (as explained below) slapped Irie and told him he is one step away from being the champion of DDT, he is strong and he will have Ishii & Takao Soma cheering for him at full force. Motivated, Irie vowed to become champion.

Masa Takanashi has a new flash pin to beware of. The Doburoku is a modified Kido Clutch named after an alcoholic beverage that Masa no doubt enjoys.

Kizaemon Saiga attended the show and provided a brief demonstration of his abilities inside the ring to promote his DDT debut on 20th March. Saiga said that when he was fighting in K-1, he thought it was cool to watch Kota Ibushi wrestling and wanted to try it himself.

Keisuke Ishii and Sanshiro Takagi had a brawl that stretched outside to the Yokohama street. Takagi attempted to drag Ishii in a Headlock over to a nearby radio station but the fight returned to the ring instead. Ishii was on the verge of victory when Takagi told him the important piece of advice he so desperately wanted was on the wall behind him. Takagi used the distraction to take control and win the match. Conceding defeat, Ishii begged Takagi to tell him what he was missing to become the perfect wrestler. Takagi told him that no wrestler is perfect. He told Ishii that before he was obsessed with becoming perfect, he was holding the DDT Extreme and KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles at the same time. He then lost the titles when he lost faith in himself. His advice to Ishii was to always hang in there ahead of the competition. However, Tsurumi Amon stepped in and told Ishii there actually was something important he and also Takagi should learn. But just when he was about to say it, Takagi was suddenly shot in the neck with a poisoned dart. Then Tsurumi was shot with a dart. Then the referee, then the ring announcer, then the video crew and so on until Keisuke Ishii was the only concious person left inside the ring. Ishii finally gave up and said he will believe in the best of his abilities from now on.

Danshoku Dino warned Toru Owashi & DJ Nira that Michael Nakazawa had become stronger thanks to his Last Man Standing match with Kenny Omega during the week. Dino was so confident in Nakazawa that he made him wrestle most of the match despite the fact that Michael had not fully recovered. Michael was not motivated to wrestle until Okinawa Pro wrestler Kijimuna appeared and said how much he admired him. Nakazawa fired himself up and cleared house but Owashi no sold his Ultimate Venom Arm and wiped him out with a Choke Slam.

Yukio Sakaguchi had to miss the show due to a suspected rubella illness. Daichi Kazato took his place in Match #2

Antonio Honda talked about Michael Jackson’s autobiography before the opening match for some reason. Why not?
