6. Princess Of Princess Title: Yuki Arai (c) Vs Shoko Nakajima
Love Triangle by name, love triangle by nature. The first challengers for Shunrai Rekka!! Prism Greed are Raku & Pom Harajuku. The two of them have been very close with Yuki Aino for many years now with Aino at one time promising the three of them would somehow all hold the Princess Tag Team Titles at the same time. So now that Aino is champions with Haru Kazashiro, the pair known as RakuPom wants to know what gives? It will be Aino and her new love fighting against her old loves. Both the championships and Aino’s fiery heart will be on the line!
So not only are we getting the idol Shiori Futaba making her wrestling debut but TJPW will also be debuting their latest trainee Yui on the same show! I think they may have jumped the gun on holding the Next Gen Tournament right now because if they had waited a month they could have added two or even three more entries to it. All depends on if Futaba will be sticking around after her match.

BASARA “BASARA 318 ~TAKAGARI 35~”, 12/10/2026
Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center
??? Fans – Unannounced
-. IRON FIST Tag Tournament – B Block Final: Daiki Shimomura & Shuichiro Katsumura defeated Daichi Kazato & Ayato Yoshida by Forfeit.
1. IRON FIST Tag Tournament – A Block Final: SAGAT & Lil’ Kraken defeated Ryota Nakatsu & Shota Nakagawa when SAGAT pinned Nakagawa with the Gore Grind (11:40).
2. Chicharito Shoki defeated Daichi Kazato with an Inside Cradle (8:34).
3. 4-On-4 Elimination Match: Takumi Tsukamoto, Isami Kodaka, FUMA & Seiya Morohashi defeated Takato Nakano, Masato Kamino, Takeru Inoue & Tomoki Hatano (19:57).
3a. Seiya Morohashi eliminated Takato Nakano by Ring Out (10:41).
3b. Takeru Inoue eliminated Seiya Morohashi with a Cradle (12:55).
3c. FUMA eliminated Masato Kamino with an Armbar (14:10).
3d. Tomoki Hatano eliminated FUMA with the Diving Guillotine Drop (14:21).
3e. Isami Kodaka eliminated Tomoki Hatano by Ring Out (16:05).
3f. Takeru Inoue eliminated Takumi Tsukamoto by Ring Out (17:08).
3g. Isami Kodaka eliminated Takeru Inoue with the Isamiashi Zan (19:57).
4. Tantan Menso defeated Judo Master with a Gedo Clutch (7:37).
5. IRON FIST Tag Tournament – Final: Daiki Shimomura & Shuichiro Katsumura defeated SAGAT & Lil’ Kraken when Shimomura pinned Kraken with the Swanton Bomb (14:01).
Earlier today at a Ganbare☆Pro show in the same venue, Shuichiro Katsumura talked about how potentially wrestling three matches in one day is a piece of cake for him. He ended up only having to wrestle in two. He and Daiki Shimomura received a bye into the IRON FIST Tag Tournament final because Ayato Yoshida suffered a left knee sprain at a 2AW show earlier in the day and had to be pulled from this show. The Super Family defeated Ryota Nakatsu & Shota Nakagawa in the only semi final to happen on the show. In the final SAGAT was able to break out of Katsumura’s Ninja Choke but Shimomura scored the win by pinning Lil’ Kraken with the Swanton Bomb.
After they were rewarded with the trophy, Shimomura thanked Katsumura for teaming with him on short notice before calling Aijin Tag to come into the ring. They made fun of the Iron Fist Tag Team Champions for getting eliminated in the first round and then asked when they are getting their title shot? Takato Nakano pointed out that Shimomura & Katsumura only reached the final because of a bye and it doesn’t sit right with him that they won the tournament without having to wrestle Daichi Kazato & Ayato Yoshida first. He decided the title match will happen on 27th October and Masato Kamino promised they won’t lose to a pair of scrawny little runts!
Judo Master and Tantan Menso spent their match arguing whether or not tantanmen ramen is a Japanese dish or a foreign dish. It is based on a Chinese recipe but Menso claims it is a domestic product because the ingredients come from Chiba. Master tried to attack Menso with a pair of nunchucks but ended up getting pinned with a Gedo Clutch.
By being the sole survivor of the Elimination Tag Match, Isami Kodaka challenged Takumi Tsukamoto for the Union MAX Title. Kodaka explained that he usually isn’t very good with Elimination Tag stipulations so winning one today should definitely earn him a title shot. Tsukamoto accepted and also allowed Kodaka to choose the date and location of the match. Kodaka picked Takashimadaira Kumin Center, the venue they are in right now and the match will happen at BASARA’s next show here on 23rd November. Tsukamoto warned that he is incredibly strong right now and Kodaka is completely aware of that.
With Yoshida pulling out due to a sudden injury, 2AW sent over Chicharito Shoki to the show as a last minute replacement. BASARA decided to eliminate Kazato & Yoshida from the tournament so Kazato’s new match was a singles bout with Shoki. During the match Shoki started imitating Yoshida by finding different ways to bully Kazato. It reached a point where Kazato had to convince Shoki he wasn’t Yoshida while speaking as if Yoshida was no longer among them. The two wrestlers hugged and Shoki suddenly cradled Kazato for the three count. Both of them then encouraged the fans to chant for Yoshida.

BASARA “BASARA 317 ~UTAGE~”, 02/10/2026
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Unannounced
1. Takumi Tsukamoto, Minoru Fujita & Yasu Urano defeated Gouma Ryu, Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga when Tsukamoto submitted Ryu with a Crab Hold (8:46).
2. IRON FIST Tag Tournament – A Block Round 1: SAGAT & Lil’ Kraken defeated Judo Master & Muscle Master when Kraken pinned Judo with the Period. (11:23).
3. IRON FIST Tag Tournament – B Block Round 1: Daiki Shimomura & Shuichiro Katsumura defeated Isami Kodaka & FUMA when Shimomura pinned Kodaka with the Asai DDT (16:30).
4. IRON FIST Tag Tournament – A Block Round 1: Ryota Nakatsu & Shota Nakagawa defeated Takeru Inoue & Tomoki Hatano when Nakagawa pinned Inoue with the Swanton Bomb (12:16).
5. IRON FIST Tag Tournament – B Block Round 1: Daichi Kazato & Ayato Yoshida defeated Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino when Kazato pinned Nakano with the Rocket Punch Body Press (14:11).
The first round of this year’s IRON FIST Tag Tournament sees some big teams already getting eliminated including the reigning Iron Fist Tag Team Champions! That’s right, Aijin Tag lost to the odd couple team of Daichi Kazato & Ayato Yoshida. The result is disastrous for Aijin Tag because Yoshida spent just as much time trying to fight Kazato as he did with them. He even put Kazato through a table and left him for Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino to pick up the scraps. However Kazato wouldn’t give up and seemed to finally win over Yoshida when he bit the bullet for one of the opponent’s double team moves. Kazato then took advantage of the confusing chaos to land the Rocket Punch Body Press on Nakano and pin him for the victory. Aijin Tag blame themselves for the loss and will watch the rest of the tournament from the sidelines to see who will challenge them for the tag titles next. Meanwhile Kazato thanks the fans for their support while Yoshida said the fans should be thanking him because he’s the only reason why he and Kazato won today.
Ryota Nakatsu & Shota Nakagawa joked that they used the power of baseball to defeat the Death Volleyball Club. In reality the admit they didn’t rely on a lot of teamwork between them and even suffered some friendly fire that could have cost them the match. They also think if Takeru Inoue & Tomoki Hatano can be called a volleyball club then maybe Nakatsu & Nakagawa can call themselves The Walk Club.
On paper the team of Isami Kodaka & FUMA should be competitive enough to run the bracket but they’ve been knocked out in the opening round thanks to Daiki Shimomura & Shuichiro Katsumura. FUMA got caught up in Katsumura’s Ninja Choke while Shimomura used the Asai DDT on Kodaka to pin him. The winning team thought they were facing Aijin Tag in the next round and were surprised to find out that won’t be the case. They agreed not to get pulled into Kazato’s world of playing games and instead go for a quick victory. It will be a busy day for Katsumura because he will be wrestling at Ganbare☆Pro too.
The first match in the bracket had to be changed when Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Seiya Morohashi both fell ill with love sickness. The team replacing them were the masked men of Judo Master & Muscle Master. The team introduced themselves as the “Master Of Softness” and the “Master Of Hardness”. SAGAT responded by calling the two of them hard to deal with. He also seemed to recognise Muscle Master was really Morohashi judging by his body shape. SAGAT unmasked him and discovered that Morohashi had his face painted like The Great Muta underneath! Morohashi gave SAGAT & Lil’ Kraken some Dragon Screws then sprayed water instead of Poison Mist. The water missed and got Judo Master by mistake. Krake then gave Judo the Period. for the three count. The Super Family think they won the match but also believe the could have been just a fever dream.
The semi finals on 12th October will be SAGAT & Lil’ Kraken Vs Ryota Nakatsu & Shota Nakagawa and Daiki Shimomura & Shuichiro Katsumura Vs Daichi Kazato & Ayato Yoshida.

BASARA “SHINJUKU FACE COUNTDOWN SERIES – BASARA 316 ~KOO~”, 23/09/2026
Shinjuku FACE
??? Fans – Unannounced
1. Shuichiro Katsumura defeated Daiki Shimomura with the Ninja Choke (11:14).
2. Yasu Urano & Shiori Asahi defeated Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Ayumu Honda (w/ Gouma Ryu) when Urano pinned Hiroshi after an Accidental Law Book Attack from Ryu (9:43).

*V6 for Aijin Tag.
6. Union MAX Title -Dosukoi Gathering Presents-: Takumi Tsukamoto (c) defeated Ryota Nakatsu with the Running Zudon (22:48).
*V2 for Takumi Tsukamoto.
Today was the official start of the Shinjuku FACE Countdown Series, a collection of farewell shows held by many different wrestling promotions before the famed Shinjuku FACE shuts down at the end of the month. Sendai Girls ran the first show of the series earlier today and BASARA was next on the schedule. The venue hosted BASARA’s debut show back in 2016. Ryota Nakatsu was in the very first BASARA match back then and he got to be in the final BASARA match to be held here today. Unfortunately for him he wasn’t able to beat Takumi Tsukamoto for the Union MAX Title. After the match Tsukamoto gathered the locker room together so they could all thank Shinjuku FACE and say their goodbyes to the venue.
The dominant run of Aijin Tag continues as they have now reached their 6th defence of the Iron Fist Tag Team Titles. With Death Volleyball Club taken care of, they now look forward to facing their next challenge. BASARA announced during the show that the IRON FIST Tag Tournament will be returning this year and Aijin Tag plan to enter it with the intention of becoming back to back champions. Then they can nominate their next challengers afterward. One of the possible teams entering the tournament was set up after the show. Ryota Nakatsu was approached by Shota Nakagawa to team up together for the tournament.
This was Gouma Ryu’s final appearance in Shinjuku FACE and he wanted to play a bigger part in it. He bribed the referee with 30,000 yen to allow him to stay in the ring for Match #2 and get directly involved even though he was only supposed to support his team at ringside. That idea ultimately backfired when he tried to hit Yasu Urano with his law book and knocked out Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi with it instead by accident.

BASARA “BASARA 315 ~UTAGE~”, 11/09/2026
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Unannounced
1. Isami Kodaka defeated Sentaro Motojima with a Vertical Drop Brainbuster (9:12).
2. 3 Way Match: FUMA Vs Daichi Kazato Vs Tsutomu Oosugi ended in a Draw after a Triple Pinfall (10:28).
3. Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Banana Senga (w/ Gouma Ryu) Vs SAGAT & Minoru Fujita was changed into another match.
3a. Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Gouma Ryu (w/ Banana Senga) Vs SAGAT & Minoru Fujita was interrupted and changed into another match (1:36).
3b. Banana Senga (w/ Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Gouma Ryu) Vs SAGAT (w/ Minoru Fujita) was interrupted and changed into another match (1:24).
3c. Minoru Fujita (w/ Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi, Gouma Ryu & Banana Senga) Vs SAGAT was interrupted and changed into another match (1:50).
3d. SAGAT defeated Minoru Fujita, Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi, Gouma Ryu & Banana Senga when SAGAT pinned Ryu with the Gore Grind (1:38).
4. Takato Nakano, Masato Kamino & Yasu Urano defeated Takeru Inoue, Tomoki Hatano & Hajime when SAGAT pinned Inoue with the Lariat (15:07).
5. Ryota Nakatsu & Lil’ Kraken defeated Takumi Tsukamoto & Daiki Shimomura when Nakatsu pinned Shimomura with the V Slider (13:15).
Pretty soon BASARA will be saying goodbye to Shinjuku FACE and after today Ryota Nakatsu feels like he has nothing left to say to Takumi Tsukamoto. The two of them are ready to fight each other for the Union MAX Title on 23rd September so they decided to shake each other’s hand after the match rather than talk up the title bout. Lil’ Kraken was allowed to close out the show instead and he talked about all of the wonderful footage he’s watched of the various wrestling shows that took place in Shinjuku FACE recently. They’re all great promotions but if you ask Kraken, BASARA is the best one! Backstage Nakatsu talked about being the first wrestler to walk down to the ring in Shinjuku FACE for the inaugural BASARA show. It moves him that over a decade later he became president of the company and will headline BASARA’s final show in the venue. But it will mean nothing to him if he cannot beat Tsukamoto for the MAX Title. Tsukamoto said he knows Nakatsu inside out and vice versa. The match will all come down to whether or not Tsukamoto can figure out how to beat Nakatsu in time. However the gameplan he has in mind is to just fight Nakatsu head on.
Aijin Tag have the advantage over the Death Volleyball Club going into the Iron Fist Tag Team Titles match later this month. Both Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino agreed that their challengers were let down by their third partner Hajime today. They think he was nothing more than a benchwarmer when Takeru Inoue & Tomoki Hatano needed more than that to help them. Nakano wants Death Volleyball Club to remember they are in a wrestling ring but Kamino reminded him that the Club likes to treat the top rope like it is a volleyball net. Nakano doesn’t get that at all and does not want to lose to that team. Hateno said his team lost a set today but in volleyball losing a set does not mean you lost the match. He believes his teamwork with Inoue worked perfectly and next time they’re going to score 25 points to win the Iron Fist Tag Titles! But first they’re going to focus on pro wrestling training in the lead up to the match because they’ve already got the volleyball side of things sorted.
Before Match #3 could begin, SAGAT got on the microphone and pre-emptively accused Gouma Ryu of plotting to interfere in the action. Ryu admitted he would so SAGAT demanded he be added to the match proper. Banana Senga agreed to swap places with Ryu so he ended up becoming the manager who interfered in the match. The referee refused to count the pinfall for Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi after that so more changes were made. Senga agreed to wrestle in the match again but now Minoru Fujita complained about the two sides being misaligned. That somehow ended up with the match becoming Senga Vs SAGAT with everyone else acting as a manager for someone. SAGAT got fed up and demanded everyone be part of the match as a wrestler. Fujita was supposed to be on SAGAT’s team but he decided to join the other side so SAGAT was now fighting everybody else all by himself. Ryu tried to attack him with his law book but SAGAT redirected him into hitting Hiroshi by accident. SAGAT was then able to beat Ryu with the Gore Grind to win despite having the 4-on-1 disadvantage.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “BECOMING”, 29/08/2026
TOKYO SQUARE In Itabashi
1. Chika Nanase Vs Shion Kanzaki
2. Haru Kazashiro Vs Kira Summer
3. Shino Suzuki Vs Mifu Ashida
4. Wakana Uehara Vs Momo Sato
5. HIMAWARI & Toga Vs Uta Takami & Ren Konatsu
We already have DDT establishing D GENERATIONS as the shows dedicated to their younger wrestlers. Tokyo Joshi Pro are doing their own twist on things with “BECOMING”, an event that only features wrestlers who debuted in 2023 or later. If this idea catches on I can see it being used to host some matches for the Next Generation Tournament if that comes back for another year this year.
BASARA “BASARA 315 ~UTAGE~”, 11/09/2026
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
1. Takato Nakano, Masato Kamino & Yasu Urano Vs Takeru Inoue, Tomoki Hatano & Hajime
The build up for the next Iron Fist Tag Team Titles brings in some guys from HEAT-UP. According to the company’s profile on the wrestler, Hajime has a Capoeira background. I need to see for myself how much he puts that skill into his wrestling because that style has been absent around this corner of the wrestling world ever since Pedro Takaishi from Muscle retired.
BASARA “SHINJUKU FACE COUNTDOWN SERIES – BASARA 316 ~KOO~”, 23/09/2026
Shinjuku FACE
1. Hardcore 6-Man Tag Match: Isami Kodaka, FUMA & Shota Nakagawa Vs SAGAT, Lil’ Kraken & Minoru Fujita
2. Iron Fist Tag Team Titles: Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino (c) Vs Takeru Inoue & Tomoki Hatano
3. Union MAX Title -Dosukoi Gathering Presents-: Takumi Tsukamoto (c) Vs Ryota Nakatsu
The very first match in BASARA history had Ryota Nakatsu in it and took place inside Shinjuku FACE. So it is fitting that BASARA’s final show in the venue is being headlined by Nakatsu challenging Takumi Tsukamoto for the Union MAX Title.
Next to BASARA, HEAT-UP is the next promotion where Takeru Inoue wrestles the most often. He has formed a tag team with Tomoki Hatano over there called Death Volleyball Club, named after the devotion both wrestlers have towards the sport. Well, devotion might be a strong word but they’ve both been part of a volleyball club. They also wanted a name that sounds cooler than Aijin Tag and came up with that. Now Inoue has tricked Aijin Tag into giving Death Volleyball Club a title shot despite having won nothing to deserve it.
Indie wrestler Shota Nakagawa makes his BASARA debut as part of a Hardcore trios match. He used to wrestle in Ganbare☆Pro for a while between 2017 to 2019 but I haven’t heard what he’s been up to since then.
TOKYO JOSHI PRO “WRESTLE PRINCESS VII”, 03/10/2026
Tokyo EBARA WAVE Arena Ota
1. Princess Of Princess Title: Yuki Arai (c) Vs Suzume
The next big match TJPW is putting together could be seen as a culmination of all the work that was done to push the second generation of main eventers. Suzume has won the Tokyo Princess Cup while holding the International Princess Title and it has encouraged her to get greedy. She now wants to fight Yuki Arai for the Princess Of Princess Title! Suzume has said she has no intentions of unifying the two championships if she wins this match. She already has an idea in mind of how to defend the two titles separately if given the opportunity. Arai meanwhile is putting all of her energy into defending the Princess Title to the point where she believes she is at her limit. She doesn’t think she could handle becoming a Double Crown champion so the International Princess Title will not be on the line for this match.
The venue we used to know as Ota Ward Gymnasium has now been renamed EBARA WAVE Arena Ota. The Ebara Corporation got the naming rights for the venue since April and the deal is to remain in place until 2030.

BASARA “BASARA 314 ~UTAGE~”, 21/08/2026
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans
1. Masato Kamino defeated Takeru Inoue with the Lariat (8:25).
2. Banana Senga (w/ Gouma Ryu) Vs Antonio Honda ended in a No Contest (8:25).
3. 4 Way Tag Match: Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Tsutomu Oosugi Vs Daichi Kazato & Seiya Morohashi Vs Takato Nakano & Yasu Urano Vs Lil’ Kraken & Minoru Fujita ended in a Draw when Hiroshi and Kazato pinned each other with a simultaneous Backslide Pin, Kraken and Morohashi pinned each other with a simultaneous Backslide Pin, Nakano and Fujita pinned each other with a simultaneous Backslide Pin and Oosugi and Urano pinned each other with a simultaneous Backslide Pin (9:02).
4. Isami Kodaka & FUMA defeated Ryota Nakatsu & SAGAT when FUMA submitted SAGAT with an Armbar (13:25).
5. Union MAX Title: Takumi Tsukamoto (c) defeated Daiki Shimomura with the Dragon Kicker (16:54).
*V1 for Takumi Tsukamoto.
With Daiki Shimomura now taken care of, Takumi Tsukamoto can move on to focus on defending the Union MAX Title against Ryota Nakatsu on 23rd September. That show will be the last time BASARA will be inside Shinjuku FACE and it will be part of the opening day of the Shinjuku FACE Countdown Series. Nakatsu describes the upcoming title match as Tsukamoto’s big mountain facing against Nakatsu’s vast ocean. Tsukamoto claimed he was an island so both the mountains and the sea belong to him. Nakatsu disagrees because Tsukamoto only used the “mountains” to beat Shuji Ishikawa. Tsukamoto admitted Nakatsu has a point but at Shinjuku FACE next month he will show him there is a bigger side to him.
Match #2 was confusing from the beginning as Antonio Honda walked to the ring dressed in Banana Senga’s gear and then Senga appeared wearing Honda’s outfit. Gouma Ryu was at ringside for the match and only noticed halfway through that the wrestlers had swapped personalities. One thing let to another and Gouma started making fun of both wrestlers for being bald. Suddenly the UWF theme began playing and the ring announcer Yoshiro Yabu came down to tell Ryu that baldness is hereditary. The three bald people all attacked Ryu with Bionic Elbows and Yabu pinned him with the Shining Wizard. The bald people all left the ring singing along to Antonio Inoki’s theme song and the referee called for a no contest.
Although Takeru Inoue lost to Masato Kamino in the opening match, he still wanted to fight Aijin Tag so he can get revenge for losing matches against both Kamino & Takato Nakano. He already has a partner in mind and it is somebody he has teamed with before. It is Tomoki Hatano from HEAT-UP and their team is the Death Volleyball Club! Kamino praised Inoue for showing spirit but Inoue took that to mean the match will also be for the Iron Fist Tag Team Titles! Kamino tried to correct him that it wasn’t but Inoue wouldn’t listen and left ringside. Kamino later explained what happened to Nakano and Nakano also came to the conclusion that Kamino had accepted a challenge for the titles so they will have to go through with it. They want to set the record for most title defences anyway and will set up the bout for 23rd September.

5. Iron Fist Tag Team Titles: Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino (c) defeated Isami Kodaka & Yuko Miyamoto when Nakano pinned Kodaka with the Takagari (15:15).

6. Union MAX Title – Clutch Supporters Association Presents: Takumi Tsukamoto defeated Shuji Ishikawa (c) with the Zudon (18:41).
*Shuji Ishikawa fails in V5. Takumi Tsukamoto becomes the 25th Union MAX Champion!
After eight months the Union MAX Title is now back around the waist of a BASARA wrestler. Takumi Tsukamoto kicked out of the Giant Driver and went on to pin Shuji Ishikawa with the Zudon to cause the title change. There were no hard feelings over the result and Ishikawa wrapped the title around Tsukamoto after the match. The new champion said when he stepped into the ring today it felt like his opponent was 4 metres tall but a real man always wants to hunt the big ones. Tsukamoto told Ishikawa he was the first person he ever had a Lighttube Death Match with and today he is happy to beat him in an important Korakuen Hall main event. He also thanked him for doing his part to make BASARA more exciting over the last year.
Tsukamoto invited the rest of the BASARA locker room into the ring for the closing speech. Ryota Nakatsu brought up the upcoming closure of Shinjuku FACE next month and reminded everyone the venue held BASARA’s first show ten years ago. He challenged Tsukamoto for the MAX Title at BASARA’s final show in Shinjuku FACE on 23rd September. However, Daiki Shimomura interrupted him and said that date is still a while away. He brought up how he was the only person to beat Tsukamoto in Tsukamoto’s 7-Match Trial last month so he should be getting a title shot first. Tsukamoto agreed to put the MAX Title on the line against Shimomura in Shin-Kiba 1st RING on 21st August. The winner and therefore the champion will then go on to defend the title against Nakatsu at September’s Shinjuku FACE show.
Aijin Tag are marching on towards their goal of breaking the Iron Fist Tag Team Titles record for most defences. They are now at five wins after beating Yankee Two Kenji. The win came from Masato Kamino giving Isami Kodaka a Lariat before Kodaka could lift up Takato Nakano for a Power Bomb. Then while Kamino took care of Yuko Miyamoto, Nakano climbed the top turnbuckle and hit the Takagari on Kodaka for the three count. Kamino called it a decisive win which means Aijin Tag has now surpassed Yankee Two Kenji! Miyamoto admitted the goal he and Kodaka put forth today was quite high for them to reach. They’re both becoming old men but they are still going out there because they are strong.
Former rivals and classmates from the DNA days met each other again when Nakatsu took on Shunma Katsumata. Since this match was happening in BASARA that meant Katsumata’s Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Gauntlet was not on the line (the rule was changed to being DDT exclusive a few years ago). The match came close to ending in a Double Knockout but they both got back up to continue fighting until Nakatsu won by using the V Slider. Nakatsu later said he was really grateful that Katsumata wrestled here today given that he is also booked for a DDT show in Osaka later this evening. He thinks it was fun to have two people who have worked so hard in the last ten years clash against each other.

BASARA “BASARA 312 ~UTAGE~”, 24/07/2026
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Unannounced
1. Ali Najima defeated Takeru Inoue with a Crab Hold (9:10).
2. Daiki Shimomura & Kota Sekifuda defeated Lil’ Kraken & Yuki Kanzaki when Shimomura pinned Kraken with the Swanton Bomb (15:02).
3. FUMA defeated SAGAT with a Chickenwing Arm Lock (10:01).
4. Ryota Nakatsu defeated Thanomsak Toba with a Rear Naked Choke (7:58).
5. Isami Kodaka, Yuko Miyamoto & Shuji Ishikawa defeated Takumi Tsukamoto, Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino when Miyamoto pinned Nakano with the Moonsault Press (16:22).
20 years of connective bonds and experience between Shuji Ishikawa, Isami Kodaka & Yuko Miyamoto was the difference maker in today’s BASARA main event. While the result focuses more on Yankee Two Kenju beating Aijin Tag, it was Ishikawa who got on the microphone afterwards to ask Takumi Tsukamoto thinks he really can climb the mountain and win the Union MAX Title? Tsukamoto said he can do it but Ishikawa warned that Tsukamoto will feel the pain to the fullest on 2nd August. Isami Kodaka then asked Aijin Tag if they really think they fought like champions today? Takato Nakano said the only reason why Kodaka is standing out right now is because Yuko Miyamoto is with him. Kodaka claimed that even though he is a BASARA wrestler, on 2nd August he will be wrestling like an outsider with Miyamoto.
Ryota Nakatsu called his match with Thanomsak Toba a warm up for the Shunma Katsumata bout on 2nd August. With the Korakuen Hall show coming up, Nakatsu spoke to media after the show and talked about last summer’s BASARA show at Korakuen. That was when BASARA management went through a change and while they were worried about the state of the company, they ended up drawing their largest crowd in history. This year Nakatsu thinks his hunger for success has diminished a little and the company still isn’t stable yet but everyone there is giving it their all. He won’t know how the Korakuen show will go until he sees the results of everyone’s hard work.
