While the D-Ou Grand Prix moved into its second day, the show was more focused on Ken Ohka’s homecoming. His father was part of the show opening introductions because he will be honored by the governor of Toyama on 22nd December for his volunteer work. The moment was interrupted by DAMNATION who surrounded Ohka’s dad. Ohka, HARASHIMA & Antonio Honda ran out to protect him and chase off DAMNATION. In the main event Ohka valiantly fought his best and was able to pin Nobuhiro Shimatani with the Vertical Drop Brainbuster. Ohka spoke about getting married a few years ago and becoming a father, something he never thought about until he turned 39. He’s 41 now and having a child makes him appreciate his father even more. Ohka’s dad thanked everyone and gave details about how to help his volunteer work in the area. Ohka then closed the show out by tearfully celebrating with the fans at ringside.

Akito played dirty late in his match with Go Shiozaki by using the referee as a shield so he could Dropkick Shiozaki in the knee. The plan didn’t work because Shiozaki recovered to hit the Go Flasher and the Strong Arm Lariat to win. Akito voiced his complaints backstage about the tournament having outsiders when it’s supposed to determine who is the best in DDT. He’s not looking forward to facing Puma King later in the block for this reason.

Masahiro Takanashi tried to trap Tetsuya Endo underneath a guardrail to count him out. He countered the Swivel Torture Rack Bomb into a DDT but Endo was able to lock in the Modified Yurikamome Hold to win his first match in the Grand Prix. Endo said he is highly motivated to compete in the tournament this time around after his unexpected confrontation with Daisuke Sasaki at the last Korakuen Hall show. However Endo won’t explicitly say why he has now become so motivated.

With yesterday’s humiliation now behind him, Sammy Guevara got his first win by beating Soma Takao. He countered the Gin And Tonic into the Canadian Destroyer and got the three count with the Shooting Star Press. Takao is trying to deny losing two block matches in a row because he has no memory of it. He thinks he won his first two matches and will make it three in a row when he takes on his stablemate Endo at Shin-Kiba 1st RING next week. Guevara bragged about having the most impact out of anyone when he is on the show whether the match lasts one minute or sixteen. He is spending his birthday here in Japan instead of being at home with his family so he will definitely be winning the Grand Prix and become a champion!

MAO joins Shiozaki at the top of A Block with a win over Puma King. MAO wanted to go high flying but King was ready for him most of the time, either grounding his opponent or catching his moves. MAO got one over him though by doing the Momo☆Clutch for the win. MAO said that lucha libre is something that has become easier to access and learn in Japan but even then he just knows the basic stuff. His plan today was to use the Momo☆Clutch at the right time. It worked. He now looks forward to his next match, a champion versus champion bout with Daisuke Sasaki.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “5th ANNIVERSARY ~FIVE YEAR OLD TOKYO JOSHI PRO WRESTLING~”, 01/12/2018
Shinjuku FACE
483 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

2. 3 Way Match: Hyper Misao defeated Yuki Aino and Hinano when Misao pinned Hinano with a Rope Assisted School Boy (8:15).

5. YUMI Debut Match: Saki Akai defeated YUMI with the Leg & Face Lock (6:15).
6. Yuu defeated Nodoka Tenma with the Last Ride (10:57).
7. Evening Before The Explosion! 5th Anniversary Special Best 2 Out Of 3 Falls 6-Woman Tag Match: Maki Itoh, Shoko Nakajima & Riho (2) defeated Miyu Yamashita, Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki (1).
7a. Maki Itoh pinned Miyu Yamashita with an Inside Cradle (4:43).
7b. Miyu Yamashita pinned Maki Itoh with a Backwards Kick (8:48).
7c. Shoko Nakajima pinned Yuka Sakazaki with the Diving Senton (5:27).

The big preview for 4th January saw the challengers team beat the champions side two falls to one. Maki Itoh surprised Miyu Yamashita by countering the Attitude Adjustment into an Inside Cradle to win the first fall. Yamashita took the second when she withstood a Headbutt from Itoh and knocked her down with a Backwards Kick. The deciding fall was focused on the two tag teams as the Magical Sugar Rabbits battled with Shoko Nakajima & Riho. Miscommunication between Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki allowed their opponents to give Sakazaki a Double Northern Lights Suplex. Nakajima then pinned Sakazaki with the Diving Senton to end the match. Itoh taunted Yamashita by telling her she looks nervous after the match while Itoh is still cute even after getting beaten up. Nakajima calmed things down by saying how fun the match was today. She said Tokyo Joshi Pro is now five years old. When they began they only had enough girls to put together three match shows. Now they have a big enough roster to do seven matches including 6-Women Tags! She hopes Tokyo Joshi will last for another 10, 15 or even 100 years and continue to grow bigger in the process.

Yuu has spent three and a half years of her life with Tokyo Joshi and today it came to an end. In her last match for the group she defeated her generational opposite Nodoka Tenma. Yuu said she had fun learning in Tokyo Joshi but would like to take full advantage of this opportunity to wrestle freelance and overseas. She’d be lying if she said she doesn’t feel lonely and perhaps she may become a totally different person when she comes back to Japan. Yuu thanked everyone for supporting her and for coming to see her last match in the company.

The debuting YUMI showed she is more powerful than she looks by giving Saki Akai a modified Choke Slam. However Akai stopped her with a Big Boot and trapped YUMI in a Leg & Face Lock to make the rookie tap out. Akai is interested in seeing how the 14 year old YUMI will develop from here. Akai also finds it interesting to see more tall girls entering Tokyo Joshi. YUMI thought the match was so tough that she would die. But she didn’t die, she came back. YUMI hopes she can become a pro wrestler that fans will want to support and see win. From the beginning YUMI wanted to make the Choke Slam her big move so she’s happy she got to use that. She also learned from Akai that adults don’t always have to act serious.

Hyper Misao came out with new music and a new plan. She wants to form a Hero Army to find her successor. She gave hero masks to Yuki Aino and Hinano and told them the match was an audition to find candidates. Aino and Hinano then decided to gang up on Misao instead. Misao tried to tell each of them they passed just so they would ease off but neither wanted to join her. Misao was able to roll Hinano over with a School Boy and used the ropes for leverage to steal the win.

Pom Harajuku got her first win today by beating her fellow rookie Haruna Neko.

Marika Kobashi announced her return match will be on 4th January. She was wearing an eyepatch because she got a stye in her left eye a few days ago.

The Bakuretsu Sisters will be releasing two photobooks on 4th January.

Tokyo Joshi’s next Korakuen Hall show after January will be on 3rd May.
