Takumi Tsukamoto and FUMA have become different people in the five years since BASARA was launched. Tsukamoto admits that his style of wrestling does not match with FUMA’s. But that is why he wanted to beat him today in order to retain the Union MAX Title. He was nervous to defend the title in the main event of BASARA’s 5th Anniversary and he is proud to be a double champion along with the BJW Death Match Title he won on 2nd January. Yusuke Kubo challenged Tsukamoto for the MAX Title on 26th January. Kubo wants it to be an exciting match between two wrestlers from Kyushu.

The IRON FIST Tag Titles are now claimed by Sento Minzoku! The new champions edged out the win when Isami Kodaka countered the Tsuki no Ishi into a cradle for the three count. Kodaka felt he was at his limit and his partner Daiki Shimomura was the key for their victory today. Shimomura wants to nominate their first challengers as soon as possible while Kodaka is more patient and prefers to wait for a team to challenge them. He understands the scenery of BASARA is changing around him so he wants to have more fun with the position he is in. For Speed Of Sounds they are thinking about taking a different direction after having a dominant title reign. Both Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga want to chase after singles titles because they are more than just as a tag team.

Since Ryuichi Sekine is going to take time off soon, Match #5 was chosen to determine who will become Ryuichi Sekine II. Both Fuminori Abe and Yasu Urano entered to Sekine’s entrance music and attempted to use his moves on each other. Abe couldn’t decide on which of Sekine’s move to use for the finish so he went for his own Manjigatame instead. He then told everyone only the original Ryuichi Sekine should use the Let’s Combine and he hopes he will come back when he feels like it.

The double countout in the Dragon Contra Dragon match happened when Trans-Am ★ Ryuji chased Gouma Ryu around ringside. They scrambled to get back in before the twenty count but both fell to the floor as the referee counted 20. As a result, both Gouma Ryu and Trans-Am ★ Ryuji will get “Ryu” stripped from their names.

Sekine assures everyone he is not retiring after his match with Ryota Nakatsu. He just needs a break because right now he can no longer do various things at once. He wants to take time off, study something new and maybe when he comes back he will be 2 meters tall and can enter the heavyweight division.
