The Max Heart Tournament final is set. A girl and her monster is going to fight a superhero and her kaiju. Kyoraku Kyomei have a second crack at the final after failing to win it all in 2023. Today’s semi final was so important that Hyper Misao wouldn’t decide if she would use the Seven Hyper Tools to win. Instead she will let her heart and soul decide what to do. Her decision was to wrap up Shino Suzuki with the ring apron and tape her to the corner post. Suzuki was eventually able to be freed and tried to put Shoko Nakajima in the Sleeper Hold only to get fought off. Misao then hit HIMAWARI with the Kingslayer and pinned her with the Hypami Returns to win.

Meeting the long established tag team in the final is Pompaler. This time Pom Harajuku was spared from being thrown around like a missile by Max The Impaler. Instead it was Wakana Uehara that felt Max’s power firsthand. Yuki Kamifuku did her best to keep things even and gave Harajuku the Famouser but Max then took her out with a Spear. Uehara took a chance by putting Max in the Banana Pillow but that proved to be a costly mistake. Max picked her up out of the move, slammed their way out of it and then finished Uehara off with a Piledriver. Max was probably the most annoyed by the result because Harajuku was too loud with her celebrations afterward.

The two finalist teams confronted each other in the ring at the end of the show. Kyoraku Kyomei were talking about their goal to win the tournament and then beat 121000000 for the Princess Tag Team Titles when Max suddenly attacked them. Harajuku told them that Pompaler are the obvious winners and Max then picked her up and threw her at Kyoraku Kyomei before leaving. Misao swore to get revenge on the rampage that was just set upon them. Nakajima agreed and warned Pompaler that their weapons are infinite!

Raku wanted to sleep through the 3 Way Match so she set up traffic cones with a No Entry sign attached to them in the middle of the ring where she slept. Miu Watanabe and Haruna Neko had to wrestle around her unaware that it was all just a trap so she could roll them up for sneaky pinfalls. She eventually gave up with the plan and attacked her opponents with a pillow. She also blinded Watanabe by placing one of the cones over her head so Watanabe couldn’t see Raku pinned Neko to win the match.

It was announced that Yuki Arai will be part of Tokyo Joshi Pro’s Las Vegas show on 18th April. She tried to cut a promo in English to promote it. Later backstage she said it’s been her dream to wrestle overseas so she’s looking forward to doing it with TJPW. She’ll do her best to make her American debut a success.
