6. Special Single Match: Minoru Suzuki Vs To-y

A rib injury from over the weekend has taken Daichi Sato out of action for around at least a fortnight. He will miss the next three DDT shows which means he should be back sometime after 22nd February. Yuya Koroku replaces him on this show.

DDT “REMBRANDT HIGHWAY SERIES 2026 ~AYU COLISEUM IN ATSUGI~”, 15/02/2026
Kanagawa Rembrandt Hotel Atsugi Grand Banquet Sagami

6. D GENERATIONS CUP 2026 – Final: Kazuma Sumi Vs Takeshi Masada
7. Kaisei Takechi 2nd Anniversary Match: Yuki Ueno Vs Kaisei Takechi

In the short history of the D GENERATIONS CUP we may get its first two-time winner. Takeshi Masada has a chance to win it a second time after being the first ever winner back in 2023. However Kazuma Sumi is riding a wave of momentum going into the final and seems to have more locker room support than the recently gone loner Masada.

Sumi being in the final rips apart my theory that he is the new member of Strange Love Connection.

Ryoma Tsukamoto makes an unexpected appearance to fill in for Daichi Sato.

Finally all four members of FANTÔMES DRAMATIC are all teaming together.

The match order outside of the main event has not been decided yet.

“URANO EN 3”, 24/02/2025
TOKYO SQUARE In Itabashi

1. Extreme Five Warriors Iron Man Tournament: Yasu Urano Vs Fuminori Abe
2. Extreme Five Warriors Iron Man Tournament: Ikuto Hidaka Vs Ilusion
3. Extreme Five Warriors Iron Man Tournament: Fuminori Abe Vs Ayato Yoshida
4. Extreme Five Warriors Iron Man Tournament: Yasu Urano Vs Ilusion
5. Extreme Five Warriors Iron Man Tournament: Ikuto Hidaka Vs Ayato Yoshida
6. Extreme Five Warriors Iron Man Tournament: Fuminori Abe Vs Ilusion
7. Extreme Five Warriors Iron Man Tournament: Yasu Urano Vs Ayato Yoshida
8. Extreme Five Warriors Iron Man Tournament: Ikuto Hidaka Vs Fuminori Abe
9. Extreme Five Warriors Iron Man Tournament: Ayato Yoshida Vs Ilusion
10. Extreme Five Warriors Iron Man Tournament: Ikuto Hidaka Vs Yasu Urano

Something extra BASARA related with a little bit of DDT there too. Yasu Urano is putting together a one day Round Robin tournament between himself, Ikuto Hidaka, Ayato Yoshida, Fuminori Abe and Ilusion. Urano chose that lineup because he wanted two wrestlers in their 50s, two in their 30s and one in his 20s. But here’s the catch. Every match is an Iron Man match, ten in total!

DDT “KO KO! YOKOHAMA BATTLE 2026”, 28/02/2026
Kanagawa Radiant Hall

1. DDT Extreme Title: To-y (c) Vs Yuki Ishida

The aftermath of the DGC group stages left To-y in bad humour because Yuki Ishida was partially responsible for him failing to win the A Block. That then led to To-y bringing up the time Ishida got drunk on a night out and To-y had to pay his tab of 40,000 yen. He figured out a DDT Extreme Title match between the two can settle the matter. If To-y wins then not only does he defend his championship but Ishida will have to pay him back the 40,000 yen!

GANBARE☆PRO “KINKI CHIHO NO ARU BASHO NI TSUITE 2026”, 01/03/2026
Osaka Hirano Community Hall

1. Sentaro Motoshima Vs Sora Fujikawa
2. Moeka Haruhi & Fairy Nihonbashi Vs Kyusei Ninja Ranmaru & Hibiscus Mii
3. Mizuki Watase & Shota Kawakami Vs Yuto Kikuchi & Violence Dragon
4. Shuichiro Katsumura, Tsuyoshi Okada & YuuRI Vs Keisuke Ishii, Tyson Maeguchi & Yuna Manase
5. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles: Yumehito Imanari & Shinichiro Tominaga (c) Vs Ken Ohka & Hiroaki Moriya

More Osaka based wrestlers will be there when Ganbare☆Pro comes to town. Yuto Kikuchi, Violence Dragon and Sora Fujikawa are the male wrestlers added to the show. Also from outside of Osaka comes Tsuyoshi Okada, Kyusei Ninja Ranmaru and Hibiscus Mii.

Universe Cup

February 10, 2026

Looks like I now have to start talking about MONDAY MAGIC a bit more often. This thing started off in 2023 as an idea by NOSAWA Rongai to host live weekly NOAH shows on ABEMA built around mystery lineups and surprise matches. After the debut season, the series was then added to Wrestle Universe and last year it was quietly spun off into becoming its own brand, although it is still NOAH adjacent. I personally like the idea of treating Monday Magic as its own thing but you’d still be right to label it a NOAH show.

During the most recent season titled “RISING SUN”, it was announced that two upcoming spin-off episodes called “UNIVERSE MAGIC” will host the first ever Universe Cup tournament. It will be an eight man tournament featuring a representative from many different wrestling promotions that can be seen on Wrestle Universe. The wrestlers taking part are:

Naomichi Marufuji (Pro Wrestling NOAH)
Sanshiro Takagi (DDT Pro Wrestling)
The Great Sasuke (Michinoku Pro Wrestling)
Hayabusa (ZERO1 Pro Wrestling)
Isami Kodaka (Pro Wrestling BASARA)
Yumehito Imanari (Ganbare☆Pro Wrestling)
Kuroshio TOKYO Japan (Pro Wrestling Uptown)
Great Mummy (MONDAY MAGIC)

MONDAY MAGIC “UNIVERSE MAGIC 2026”, 09/03/2026
Shinjuku FACE

1. UNIVERSE CUP – Round 1: Sanshiro Takagi Vs Great Mummy
2. UNIVERSE CUP – Round 1: Naomichi Marufuji Vs Kuroshio TOKYO Japan
3. UNIVERSE CUP – Round 1: Isami Kodaka Vs The Great Sasuke
4. UNIVERSE CUP – Round 1: Hayabusa Vs Yumehito Imanari

Alright I get to talk about the new Hayabusa! Actually Bahu did a great job explaining the whole situation with him and ZERO1 recently so I recommend you give his video a watch. The inclusion of ZERO1 to this tournament comes from their repaired relationship with NOAH after the Go Shiozaki fiasco (I knew something was up with him a while back) and that led to Hayabusa recently appearing on Monday Magic so his addition has not come out of nowhere.

One of NOSAWA’s running jokes in Monday Magic is to often book one of the wrestlers to disguise themselves as Great Mummy, a throwback to the mummy gimmicks that were a regular presence around Japan’s sleazier indies decades ago. It’s only fitting that Sanshiro Takagi was chosen to be Great Mummy’s opponent in the first round.

MONDAY MAGIC “UNIVERSE MAGIC 2026”, 06/04/2026
Shinjuku FACE

1. UNIVERSE CUP – Semi Final: X Vs X
2. UNIVERSE CUP – Semi Final: X Vs X
3. UNIVERSE CUP – Final: X Vs X

The match announcement video included an image of a playoff bracket that makes it look like the winners of Matches #1 and #3 will meet in one semi final and the winners of Matches #2 and #4 will face off in the other. However I’m feeling suspicious about something. To put it kindly, NOSAWA is a trickster at heart. Don’t be surprised if he suddenly throws in a swerve or two that could completely change the face of the Universe Cup going into the final rounds.

DDT “IMAIKE FIGHT FEVER 2026” Results

February 8, 2026

DDT “IMAIKE FIGHT FEVER 2026”, 08/02/2026
Aichi Imaike Gas Hall
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. D GENERATIONS CUP 2026 – B Block: Rukiya (6) defeated Hinata Kasai (0) with the Proto Bomb
2. Hideki Okatani & Ilusion defeated HARASHIMA & Yuni when Ilusion pinned Yuni with the Swanton Bomb (8:20).
3. Danshoku Dieno & Kazuma Sumi defeated Akito & Kazuki Hirata when Sumi pinned Hirata with the School Boy (9:21).
4. Jun Akiyama, Naomi Yoshimura & Yuki Ishida defeated Yukio Naya, Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Daichi Sato when Ishida pinned Sato with the Buchikamashi (10:26).
5. Special 4-Way Tag Match: Yuki Ueno & To-y defeated MAO & KANON (w/ KIMIHIRO), Daisuke Sasaki & MJ Paul and Chris Brookes & Antonio Honda when Ueno pinned Honda with the WR (13:29).
6. D GENERATIONS CUP 2026 – B Block: Takeshi Masada (6) defeated Yuya Koroku (6) with the Manburi (12:23).
7. D GENERATIONS CUP 2026 – B Block Representative Selection Round Robin Match: Takeshi Masada defeated Rukiya and Yuya Koroku.
7a. Rukiya defeated Yuya Koroku with a Running Elbow Butt (4:07).
7b. Takeshi Masada defeated Rukiya with an Inside Cradle (3:12).
7c. Takeshi Masada defeated Yuya Koroku with the Manburi (9:46).

A Block

1. Kazuma Sumi (6)
2. To-y (5)
3. Daichi Sato (4)
4. Yuki Ishida (3)
5. Ilusion (2)

B Block

1. Takeshi Masada (6)
-. Yuya Koroku (6)
-. Rukiya (6)
4. Yuni (2)
5. Hinata Kasai (0)

The final day of B Block matches ended in a massive stalemate for first place between three wrestlers. Rukiya started off the show with an easy win over Hinata Kasai to reach 6 points, matching the same total as Yuya Koroku. In the main event Koroku just needed to avoid losing to book his place in the final but Takeshi Masada had other ideas. Masada defended himself from Koroku’s gameplan to target his arms and hit the Manburi knee kick twice to win the match, bringing his final score to six points as well. The B Block ended with Rukiya, Koroku and Masada all tied for first place and stuck in a 1-1 record with each other that meant the normal tiebreaker rules could not determine who qualified for the final.

It was up to Akito to make the decision because he was the stand-in GM for Hisaya Imabayashi today. Rather than do a 3 Way match or a game of Rock Paper Scissors, Akito instead decided to do a sumo style playoff where the three wrestlers would compete in alternating singles matches one after the other until one of them won two matches in a row. Rock Paper Scissors was actually used to determine the first match, which was Koroku facing Rukiya. Koroku suffered his second loss in a row, falling to Rukiya’s Running Elbow Butt. In the next match Rukiya hit the same move on Masada followed by the Proto Bomb but Masada found the energy to cradle Rukiya and pin him out of nowhere. That brought things back to Masada Vs Koroku except at this point both men were exhausted. Masada was able to hit the Manburi once more and again beat Koroku, giving him the second win in a row needed to end the playoff and send him into the D GENERATIONS CUP final!

Koroku didn’t like that he lost to Masada but admits his opponent is strong and it made the DGC more exciting, so he will support Masada in the final. The A Block finalist Kazuma Sumi had been watching the whole thing at ringside and confronted Masada in the ring. Sumi said he thinks he is on a roll and is also the most entertaining wrestler from D GENERATIONS. He also made the mistake of saying the final will be held next month and Masada corrected him that 22nd February is this month. Masada also said he is above the level of just being Sumi’s classmate and will show that difference in class at Korakuen Hall on the 22nd.

Sumi was actually given a secret test for his match earlier on the show. He was put in the same match as Danshoku Dieno and Kazuki Hirata only to be told by Akito that he shouldn’t be mixing it up with the “Variety Group” wrestlers. Sumi understood and tried to wrestle a normal, serious match but knew something felt off because that’s not the DDT way. After a brief argument Sumi, Dieno and Hirata all got on the same page and returned to doing their usual comedy bits. Akito got thrown face first into Dieno’s backside and Sumi took part in Hirata’s dance before pinning him with the School Boy. After the match Akito revealed to Sumi this was all a test and he passed! He explained a top DDT wrestler is someone who can always work with the comedy wrestlers in the second match on the card as well as put on good match in the main event. Sumi proved he is more than qualified to do that. Akito then encouraged Sumi to win the DGC final and he will be waiting for him back in Match #2.

Yuni’s 18th birthday is today and Ilusion wanted to ruin it. His “present” was to take one of Yuni’s portraits from the merch table, tarnish it with his own “autographed” message and then rip it apart in front of his opponent. He also stuffed the crumbled up pieces of paper into Yuni’s mouth during one of the heat segments. Yuni’s big comeback at the end of the match was cut off by a chairshot to the back from Hideki Okatani. That gave Ilusion the opening to DDT Yuni and pin him with the Swanton Bomb.

Just like with yesterday, Tomomitsu Matsunaga stepped in to take Junta Miyawaki’s place because Miyawaki is currently feeling unwell.

DDT “IMAIKE SAMBA 2026” Results

February 7, 2026

DDT “IMAIKE SAMBA 2026”, 07/02/2026
Aichi Imaike Gas Hall
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Yuya Koroku & Yuni defeated Takeshi Masada & Hinata Kasai when Koroku submitted Kasai with the Modified Triangle Lancer (10:30).
2. Special Single Match: KANON (w/ KIMIHIRO) defeated Antonio Honda with a Lariat (11:18).
3. Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani & MJ Paul defeated Jun Akiyama, Akito & Tomomitsu Matsunaga when Sasaki submitted Matsunaga with the Crossface Lock (10:16).
4. Imaike Rumble 2026: Naomi Yoshimura defeated Ilusion with the Harai-goshi (18:32).
*Order Of Elimination: Yukio Naya, Yuki Ueno, HARASHIMA, MAO, Danshoku Dieno, Pokotan, Chris Brookes, Kazuki Hirata, Yoshihiko and Ilusion.
5. D GENERATIONS CUP 2026 – A Block: To-y (5) defeated Daichi Sato (4) with a Frankensteiner (10:31).
6. D GENERATIONS CUP 2026 – A Block: Kazuma Sumi (6) defeated Yuki Ishida (3) with the School Boy (10:22).

A Block

1. Kazuma Sumi (6)
2. To-y (5)
3. Daichi Sato (4)
4. Yuki Ishida (3)
5. Ilusion (2)

B Block

1. Yuya Koroku (6)
2. Rukiya (4)
-. Takeshi Masada (4)
4. Yuni (2)
5. Hinata Kasai (0)

Kazuma Sumi has booked his spot in the D GENERATIONS CUP final! The A Block wound up sorting itself out rather nicely at the end too. When it was time for the main event, Sumi only needed to beat Yuki Ishida to top the group. Ishida wouldn’t go down without a fight and even lunged forward to throw the Flame Palm after taking a Thrust Kick to the jaw. Sumi however countered that into the School Boy and pinned him down with as hard as he could to get the three count. He said he can now see the top of the mountain that everyone has been aiming for and will win the DGC no matter who he faces in the final.

The person who was most angry over the main event result was To-y. He still had a path to the final open when he beat Daichi Sato and needed Ishida to beat Sumi to set up a sudden death tiebreaker. He even sat at ringside to watch the main event but when Ishida lost, To-y stormed backstage and confronted him over the result. To-y blamed Ishida for knocking him out of the tournament and then brought up the time they went drinking together. Ishida got so drunk he convinced To-y to pay for the bill which turned out to cost him 40,000 yen! To-y is willing to settle this debt by offering Ishida a shot at the DDT Extreme Title. Ishida can get a title match on the condition that if he loses he must pay back To-y his 40,000 yen!

Pokotan made a bigger mark on the Imaike Rumble than expected. He ended up being involved with eliminating wrestlers like Yuki Ueno, HARASHIMA, Danshoku Dieno and Chris Brookes. Late in the match, Pokotan uncharacteristically gave Kazuki Hirata a Low Blow. He was then revealed to be Ilusion is disguise! Ilusion was already in the match so there must have been a point when he disappeared along with Pokotan, took over the mascot’s costume and then snuck back in. Despite his trick working, Ilusion wound up losing the match to Naomi Yoshimura. The prize Yoshimura received for winning the Rumble was some local uiro treats.

An illness has taken Junta Miyawaki out of this weekend’s shows. Tomomitsu Matsunaga is his substitute for both today and tomorrow.

DGC Final Up For Grabs, Sasadango’s Sumo Hall Check Up, Pokotan Gets Some Sauna Friends

February 6, 2026

DDT “IMAIKE SAMBA 2026”, 07/02/2026
Aichi Imaike Gas Hall

1. Takeshi Masada & Hinata Kasai Vs Yuya Koroku & Yuni
2. Special Single Match: KANON (w/ KIMIHIRO) Vs Antonio Honda
3. Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani & MJ Paul Vs Jun Akiyama, Akito & Junta Miyawaki
4. Imaike Rumble 2026: Yuki Ueno Vs MAO Vs HARASHIMA Vs Danshoku Dieno Vs Chris Brookes Vs Kazuki Hirata Vs Naomi Yoshimura Vs Yukio Naya Vs Ilusion Vs Pokotan
5. D GENERATIONS CUP 2026 – A Block: To-y (3) Vs Daichi Sato (4)
6. D GENERATIONS CUP 2026 – A Block: Yuki Ishida (3) Vs Kazuma Sumi (4)

The last matchdays for the D GENERATIONS CUP have several wrestlers still in the running to reach the final. In the A Block Kazuma Sumi just needs to win his match to win the group. Daichi Sato can get there if he wins and Sumi doesn’t. To-y and Yuki Ishida both need to win and even then that will result in a sudden death playoff between the two because they tied against each other earlier in the tournament.

DDT “IMAIKE FIGHT FEVER 2026”, 08/02/2026
Aichi Imaike Gas Hall

1. D GENERATIONS CUP 2026 – B Block: Rukiya (4) Vs Hinata Kasai (0)
2. HARASHIMA & Yuni Vs Hideki Okatani & Ilusion
3. Danshoku Dieno & Kazuma Sumi Vs Akito & Kazuki Hirata
4. Jun Akiyama, Naomi Yoshimura & Yuki Ishida Vs Yukio Naya, Junta Miyawaki & Daichi Sato
5. Special 4-Way Tag Match: Yuki Ueno & To-y Vs MAO & KANON (w/ KIMIHIRO) Vs Daisuke Sasaki & MJ Paul Vs Chris Brookes & Antonio Honda
6. D GENERATIONS CUP 2026 – B Block: Takeshi Masada (4) Vs Yuya Koroku (6)

In the B Block we may see Yuya Koroku finish his run with a perfect record of four wins. But if Takeshi Masada can beat him then he will squeak by last year’s champion. However Rukiya can match the total score in that scenario if he beats Hinata Kasai which will then result in a three way tie where Koroku beat Rukiya, Rukiya beat Masada and Masada beat Koroku.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SHOKO NAKAJIMA NIIGATA HOMECOMING – SHOKO QUEST IV: THOSE GUIDED BY THE SNOW COUNTRY”, 11/02/2026
Niigata Dúo CEREZO

1. 3 Way Match: Miyu Yamashita Vs Raku Vs Mahiro Kiryu
2. Arisu Endo Vs Shion Kanzaki
3. Suzume Vs Mifu Ashida

5. Miu Watanabe & Rika Tatsumi Vs Sara Phoenix & Kira Summer
6. Yuki Kamifuku, Wakana Uehara & Ren Konatsu V Mizuki, Shino Suzuki & Uta Takami
7. Shoko Nakajima, Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro Vs Yuki Arai, HIMAWARI & Toga

The “GRAND PRINCESS ’26” PR Ambassador Super Sasadango Machine will be visiting the show, presumably to get updates on all of the ideas he gave others to promote the Sumo Hall show. There are currently four requests he has given people. Shino Suzuki is tasked with challenging influencers with over 100,000 followers to games of rock paper scissors until she beats three of them. The GM Tetsuya Koda was told to go find a big guest famous enough to sell out Sumo Hall and get them to make their pro wrestling debut. The mascot Minimo-chan was told to master its special moves through intensive training. Finally Sanshiro Takagi was instructed to scout a new idol to turn into a pro wrestler.

DDT “NEPPA OVER FLOWERS 5 ~THE ONLY SAUNA IN THE WORLD~”, 14/02/2026
Shinjuku FACE

1. Young Boy Akito Nishigaki Shinjuku FACE Debut Match: Young Boy Akito Nishigaki Vs Rukiya
2. Shinya Aoki Vs Hinata Kasai
3. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Brahman Shu, Brahman Kei & Brahman Sasaki Vs Daichi Sato, Yuni & Kazuma Sumi
4. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Shin KONOSUKE TAKESHITA, MAO & Takeshi Masada Vs Danshoku Dieno, Kazuki Hirata & Koju Takeda
5. Ueno Nordic Presents Special Single Match: Yuki Ueno Vs Pokotan (w/ Chris Bathooks, Naya Tonttu & Sauna Stones・Den)
6. Special Single Match: Minoru Suzuki Vs To-y

Pokotan will not be alone when it fights Yuki Ueno. It will be accompanied by three sauna themed versions of DDT wrestlers. Naya Tonttu has appeared on these sauna wrestling shows before. Chris Bathooks and Sauna Stones・Den both have pun names that apply to saunas somehow but I don’t have the knowledge with that hobby to figure out what they are.

GANBARE☆PRO “A SCANNER DARKLY 2026”, 22/02/2026
Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center

1. Sentaro Motoshima Vs Reiya Igarashi
2. 3 Way Match: Moeka Haruhi Vs Papillon Akemi Vs Hora-chan
3. Takuya Wada & PSYCHO Vs Ken Ohka & Shota Kawakami
4. Yumehito Imanari & Shinichiro Tominaga Vs Keisuke Ishii & Choun Shiryu
5. Shuichiro Katsumura, Yuya Susumu & YuuRI Vs Yuna Manase, Akira Shoji & Tyson Maeguchi
6. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Masaaki Mochizuki (c) Vs Mizuki Watase

How is it that Moeka Haruhi keeps getting put with oddball opponents? She now has to face Papillon Akemi and a Colega Pro/Land’s End gimmick called Hora-chan in a 3 Way Match.

“GAISEN SAKURA PRO WRESTLING”, 11/04/2026
Okayama Shinjo Village

The Tokyo Joshi Pro lineup has already been announced for the show. Now BASARA has followed up with their cast of wrestlers who will show up alongside Ryuichi Sekine.

So far any concerns on if The Apex will get along with Strange Love Connection can be put to rest. Yukio Naya got along with MAO & KANON, even taking some instructions from them to set up their teamwork. The other story of the match was KANON locking horns with Yuki Ueno. When their exchange ended without a clear winner, MAO and Shinya Aoki took over. KANON got back into the swing of things getting into a Lariat clash with Tomomitsu Matsunaga. In the end, KANON’s Lariat was stronger and he got to win the match with the move. After the match KANON talked about his first few months with DDT where he joined DAMNATION T.A and became really cocky. He changed his tune when Ueno gave him his first loss in the company and over the last four years he’s been wanting to beat Ueno ever since. Ueno lost his temper and told KANON to stop lying. KANON then said Ueno knows nothing about him so he’s going to fill up Ueno’s head until he thinks about nothing else but KANON!

A freak accident at the start of the 3 Way trios match led to the uncommon sight of blood in a DDT ring. As Daisuke Sasaki took off his jacket, he whipped it right into the side of Antonio Honda’s head as part of a DAMNATION T.A ambush. The studs on the jacket must have caused some deep scratches because when Honda reappeared in the ring a few minutes later the side of his head had large bloodstains that were clear for everyone to see. The other members of FANTÔMES DRAMATIC bandaged him up with a towel while he was setting up his Gongitsune speech.

Hisaya Imabayashi had sold 50 tickets of the show to some of his acquaintances in the theater business so he asked Danshoku Dieno to instantly beat Kazuki Hirata so he could get angry at them and impress his colleagues. Hirata however didn’t want to lose and wouldn’t lay down so for once he wasn’t actually pinned for the three count immediately. Imabayashi stopped the match anyway to complain about not being able to complain. Hirata convinced him that if he wanted to look cool, he should join the match and make it 3 Vs 2! The GM agreed, siding with Hirata & Toru Owashi to face Dieno & Jun Akiyama for the restart. He immediately lost his courage but finally entered the match to give Dieno an STO. When Akiyama tagged in, Imabayashi psyched himself to give him some Elbow Strikes and a few Stunners. He wasn’t strong enough to give Akiyama an STO so Akiyama gave him a Headbutt and Running Knee Strike instead. Imabayashi kicked out of the pin so Akiyama decided to set up the Exploder Suplex. That caused Imabayashi to instantly give up out of fear.

Over at the D GENERATIONS CUP the two blocks are heading towards the finish line. Kazuma Sumi showed he is still in the race by beating Daichi Sato in the main event. He tried to School Boy him a bunch during the middle of the match but then resorted to using a Rolling Elbow and a High Kick. Those moves left Sato stunned for long enough to make the School Boy and effective way to beat him. Sumi wants to reach the final because his goal for the year is to win the DGC, then win the DDT Universal Title and after that win King Of DDT! Meanwhile To-y suffered a setback by losing to Ilusion, giving the masked heel a victory in his final match of the tournament. When chairshots didn’t have the intended effect, Ilusion used a ref bump to give To-y a Low Blow. He then wrapped some of the KO-D 10-Man Tag Team Title belts around his body and landed a Coffin Drop onto To-y for extra damage. With that done, Ilusion then got the win by doing the Swanton Bomb without the belts.

The B Block might end up with Yuya Koroku going through as the clear winner of all of his matches. He is now three for three after beating Hinata Kasai. He wants to achieve a perfect record in order to push the limit and raise the level of D GENERATIONS even higher. If that happens, Koroku thinks that may be what it takes to get DDT to the Tokyo Dome. He’s not in the clear yet though. Takeshi Masada ended any hope Yuni has of reaching the final in the B Block to keep himself in the chase. Masada is now in the position to beat Koroku to win the block and he thinks that will be easy to do even when he is all by himself.
