The main event begun with Rika Tatsumi grabbing Nao Kakuta and swinging her around the ring, wiping out Hyper Misao while she was in the middle of reciting a poem she wrote and then catching the opponents. Misao’s poem was 8,926 characters long and was about her relationship with Tatsumi. Kakuta was there to help Tatsumi later by grabbing onto her arms while clinging her legs to the ropes in order to stop Miu Watanabe from doing the Giant Swing. Yuki Kamifuku’s Big Boot missed its target and caught Watanabe by mistake. Watanabe’s comeback was then cut off by Misao, allowing Tatsumi to pin Haruna Neko with the Twist Of Fate.
After the match Tatsumi said if she wins the International Princess Title on 18th March then she will be the first Tokyo Joshi Pro grand slam champion. It is a goal she wants to achieve because she will be the only grand slam champion in TJPW.
Due to agreements with the venue back when it was first booked, today’s show did not allow cheering from the fans. It will be the last TJPW event following that rule unless plans change down the line. Raku kept wanting to sneeze during the early part of her match so Yuka Sakazaki had to keep Raku’s mouth covered until the urge went away.
Inspired by the “The Tortoise And The Hare” Pom Harajuku wore a turtle shell cushion backpack for her match against Mizuki. The referee didn’t allow it at first until Harajuku convinced him the shell counts as part of her body. It protected her from stomps to the back but she then took it off after getting kicked in the stomach. Mizuki then used the shell to block Harajuku’s attacks and she then made her tap to the Face Lock.
