Two heavyweights collided in the main event of the second D-Ou Grand Prix show. Jun Akiyama was dragged into a battle of raw power that he could not win, no matter how many Knee Strikes and Exploder Suplexes he did. He tried targeting Yuji Hino’s arm as well but it didn’t stop Hino from throwing Lariat after Lariat until he pinned Akiyama with the Fuckin’ BOMB. Hino said he was so focused on today’s match that he didn’t realize it was the main event. He thinks Akiyama is a great legend and he fought his heart out today, which Hino appreciates. The world is opening up again but Hino still wants the fans to play it safe and be careful so they can cheer loudly at shows again soon. Akiyama did not give any comment after the match.

The tension that formed between Naomi Yoshimura and Bodyguard at opening day led to an evenly matched bout between them. A Right High Kick was the difference maker and Bodyguard won his first D-Ou match. It was a move Bodyguard was counting on to combat Yoshimura’s youth. He might need it again because Hino is his next opponent on 10th November. Yoshimura admitted he didn’t perform well today. He also has to face Tetsuya Endo tomorrow. Endo warned he will break Yoshimura’s thick legs. Yoshimura doesn’t think that is possible because he has never gotten a leg injury before.

Chris Brookes is on the table with his first win while HARASHIMA is now zero for two. Brookes caught the Somato and countered it into La Magistral Cradle but HARASHIMA got a rope break. Brookes then countered another Somato into a Samson Clutch to get the three count from out of nowhere. Brookes said afterwards he hurt his shoulder during the match and is piling up minor injuries in his neck and fingers. His remaining matches in Block B aren’t just fights, they are now hard fights. HARASHIMA said he wasn’t careless in the ring but he still lost and that is all that matters. There is still a chance HARASHIMA can get back in track and he believes he is in great shape, so he will continue giving it his all.

The Koppojutsu training is already paying off for MAO. Now I’m no martial arts expert so I don’t know if Planchas and Moonsaults are Koppojutsu skills. But what MAO did do that was new is spike Kazusada Higuchi’s head into the mat with a Headscissors and then kept in a tight squeeze with his knees until Higuchi fainted. MAO said the win is a fluke but that’s his entire goal. His wrestling style is now a mixture of lies and sincerity, falsehood and reality, truth and fiction. He is mixing together three things that don’t mix at all: Japanese lucha, British wrestling and Koppojutsu. He is leaving it all up to chance in this tournament and that includes his next match against Yuji Okabayashi. Higuchi gets what MAO is doing. It sounds like nonsense but MAO has clearly thought it through and Higuchi gives credit for beating him.

Soma Takao approached DAMNATION T.A again after their match but Daisuke Sasaki Super Kicked him and attacked him with a chair. Sasaki got on the microphone and told Takao to stay away from DAMNATION T.A because he is only making them less valuable. He now wants Hisaya Imabayashi to take care of this so Takao will leave them alone. Takao says he just wants to talk to Sasaki so it’s strange that Sasaki always attacks him with a chair.

Match #2 was a big one for Toui Kojima. He’s been appealing to join The 37KAMIINA for ages and today is the first time he is wrestling them since he came back from injury. Kojima eagerly fought Konosuke Takeshita and even gave him the Full Nelson Buster. But Shunma Katsumata dashed the rookie’s hopes and pinned him with the Totonoe Splash. After the match Kojima pleaded with The 37KAMIINA to let him join them because he recently won his first match in Ota Ward Gymnasium. Katsumata liked the idea but Yuki Ueno wasn’t convinced, citing Yuki Ishida being the person Kojima pinned in that match. Kojima pushed that a win is a win and being in The 37KAMIINA will make him stronger. Ueno changed his mind and said he felt Kojima’s motivation back when he dislocated his elbow. Takeshita then shook his hand to confirm Toui Kojima is now a member of The 37KAMIINA! MAO didn’t find out until the entire group got together for a post-show interview. He just stared at Kojima and asked why is he here? The others explained and MAO welcomed Kojima after his confusion went away.

Kazuki Hirata tried to roll up Akito for the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title after the opening match. Akito kicked out and escaped with the belt.
