7. Special 6-Man Tag Match ~ Harimao Last Match: Naomi Yoshimura, Ryota Nakatsu & Yuki Ishida (w/ Kazusada Higuchi) defeated Shunma Katsumata, Kota Umeda & Kouki Iwasaki when Ishida pinned Katsumata with the Flame Palm (19:56).

If it was Kazusada Higuchi he would want to wrestle a little bit longer but today he had to retire from pro wrestling, ending his eleven year career over a neck injury. Having already wrestled his last match due to doctor’s orders, Higuchi had to serve as a second for Harimao in the main event 6-Man Tag Match. The sumo themed unit agreed to split up because of Higuchi’s retirement and today would be their last match together. Their opponents were three wrestlers who Higuchi grew up with in the DDT New Attitude developmental brand that existed from 2014 to 2018. It brought back some old rivalries likes the one between Ryota Nakatsu and Kota Umeda. Higuchi did take one more chance to get physical by throwing Chops at all of the wrestlers who were brought over to him at ringside. Yuki Ishida got rid of Kouki Iwasaki with the Leg Scoop Suplex while on the other side Shunma Katsumata wiped out Naomi Yoshimura with a Topé Con Hilo. The match came down to Ishida receiving one last fighting spirit from Higuchi to hit Katsumata with the Flame Palm for the three count.

Higuchi’s retirement ceremony took place after the match. He took commemorative photos with Harimao and then the DNA wrestlers. After that the next group of people to appear were Shuji Ishikawa, Yuji Hino and KUBITO who were tied to Higuchi as tag partners, rivals or training buddies at various times. Higuchi then received an anonymous letter from his alledged trainer. This mystery person is apparantely not in Japan at the moment but he wanted to tell Higuchi he is proud of him for becoming a top class wrestler and for leaving the ring with his body still intact. More wrestlers entered the ring to gift Higuchi with bouquets including Jun Akiyama, HARASHIMA, Danshoku Dino, Antonio Honda, Yuki Ueno, Tetsuya Endo and Konosuke Takeshita.

Finally Higuchi was reunited with the other Eruption members Yukio Sakaguchi & Saki Akai. Not only that but Hideki Okatani entered the ring holding the Eruption gown that Higuchi had gifted to him when Higuchi left the unit. Okatani returned it back to him. Sanshiro Takagi was the last person to give a bouquet and everyone got together for a big group photo. Higuchi got on the microphone and said today he has run out of his strength and he’s come to the conclusion that this is the best decision he could make. He can only express is gratitude and is grateful to everyone in DDT. He also used the Wrestle Universe broadcast to tell Yoshihiro Takayama and Masahiro Takanashi that everyone here is waiting for their return. While Higuchi will no longer live in the ring, he will continue to move forward step by step in the ring of life.

FANTÔMES DRAMATIC have gotten their hands on their first proper championship by winning the KO-D Tag Team Titles! Things went crazy from the get go when The Apex lifted up KIMIHIRO and threw him onto everybody grouped together outside the ring. Strange Love Connection found that their own teamwork was being evenly matched by Chris Brookes & HARASHIMA. The challengers separated KANON from MAO and focused all of their attacks on the former. KANON was able to kick out after taking a Piledriver followed by the Somato but HARASHIMA used the souped up Swan Dive version of his finisher to win the tag titles. Later backstage MAO said his goal with this title run was to help KANON loosen up and he thinks they accomplished that. They can rebound by going after any championship but for the moment he wants the both of them to aim for the Top 3 in this year’s King Of DDT tournament.

While Fandora were celebrating their title win, Ilusion got into the ring while wearing all of the KO-D 10-Man Tag Team Title belts over his body. He claimed to be the new leader of DAMNATION T.A and because he has more title belts than Fandora, he is using his position to challenge them for the KO-D Tag Titles. He then unveiled a banner of Daisuke Sasaki to reveal that Sasaki will be his partner for the match. HARASHIMA accepted the challenge for 1st May because so that can be Sasaki’s first match back in DDT after coming home from his North American excursion. Before that takes place, Brookes said Fandora will go win the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles on 15th April.

It was a special match between teacher and student when Makoto Oishi found himself being challenged by Kaisei Takechi. It’s been lightly thrown around that Takechi would officially surpass Oishi as soon as he could beat him in the ring. But Takechi has yet to win a singles match so he couldn’t afford to take his mentor lightly. Oishi took his student to school with basic moves as well as a well times Dropkick to the knee as a counter for the Flying Forearm. Takechi took a page out of Higuchi’s book by using the Brain Claw to break his way out of Oishi’s Fujiyama Knee Lock. He then showed off his new Choke Slam/Rock Bottom finisher called the BREAK IT DOWN, pinning Oishi to get his first ever singles victory.

Takechi was then suddenly met by Danshoku Dieno after the match. Dieno was there to propose the two of them have a singles match some day. Takechi agreed, saying he has no reason to refuse a challenge. Hisaya Imabayashi then decided since the two of them are entering the King Of DDT tournament, this can be one of the 1st Round matches! Takechi and Dieno shook hands over the idea but Takechi then stopped Dieno from leaning in for a kiss. He made a promise to Dieno that he is going to exceed his expectations. Backstage Takechi was asked if his agency is worried about him wrestling Dieno. He said DDT has the rights to book that match but admits if the card has to change, it is because LDH did not want it to happen. Dino acknowledged that there is an unwritten no contact agreement in place with him and Takechi but Takechi is officially a DDT wrestler so it is inevitable that Danshoku Dieno would be unleashed on him eventually.

There was a little bit of confusion among Yuki Ueno’s team when Shinya Aoki decided to stop up him pinning Junta Miyawaki early in the 6-Man Tag Match. Ueno then had Jun Akiyama properly stopping him from pinning Yuki Iino by hitting him with the Knee Strike. To-y did a big dive onto everyone so Ueno could be left alone to fight Iino. But the WR was countered into a Short-Range Spear followed by a full fledged one to give Iino a big win over the KO-D Openweight Champion. Iino asked Ueno how it felt to lose for the fist time after so long because Iino will soon take the belt and prove he is the strongest in DDT! Ueno asked him if he has any dreams for the future but Iino answered he has no time to think about that. He is busy living every day to its fullest.

Okatani and Yukio Naya gave everyone a preview of their DDT Extreme Title match by brawling around ringside while Ilusion and Viento Maligno wrestled each other. Naya toughed it out by taking chair shots and being thrown into the front row. He then refused to budge when he put Ilusion in a Crab Hold and invited Okatani to try and physically break it up. MJ Paul interfered to finally make some progress but Maligno was able to get him out of the ring. Naya recovered and Choke Slammed Okatani to stop him from using the chair again. After that he pinned Ilusion with The World’s Best Back Drop.

A really important designation was on the line in Match #2. All of the DDT goofballs were gathered together to determine who is the king of DDT’s “Variety” wrestlers! However the show was already running on a tight schedule so Imabayashi wanted everyone to do their entrances all at once. Kazuki Hirata suggested they start wrestling before the entrances and then play everyone’s music as the match progresses. They all brawled down to the ring, taking Imabayashi down with them and continued fighting until Toru Owashi’s song played. He ran to the back to make his entrance and ring introduction. This would next happen to Super Sasadango Machine, then Akito, then Dieno, then Antonio Honda and finally Kazuki Hirata. Except the heavy usage of the music system blew out the venue’s amplifier during Hirata’s entrance. The wrestlers (including Saki Akai and Tetsu Inada) all formed a daisy chain connecting from Dieno over to the amplifier in order to charge it back up to full repair. Hirata got to do his entrance until Imabayashi suddenly put him in a Sleeper Hold and tapped him out! Imabayashi was declared the winner and he ordered everyone to get out so the show could continue.

As previously mentioned way up above, FANTÔMES DRAMATIC will soon be challenging for the KO-D 6-Man Tag Titles. Hinata Kasai will be on the challenger team and he got to fight the champions paleyouth in today’s opening bout. He had a tough go at fighting Takeshi Masada & Daichi Sato until Kazuma Sumi tagged in to even things out. Yuya Koroku found himself fighting Masami Inahata to a stalemate. paleyouth then gathered their wits about them to team up on Kasai, ultimately leading to Masada pinning Kasai with a Penalty Kick. He showed off one of the title belts to him after the match, causing Kasai to hit him with an Elbow Strike in response. Koroku then grabbed Kasai and threw him out of the ring.

After graduating from high school and becoming a college student, Yuni showed up wearing a new costume for his match against Rukiya. A big Moonsault from Yuni was blocked by Rukiya sticking his feet up. He got the win with the Proto Bomb but it took two of them to get the result after Yuni kicked out of it the first time.

DDT “CHARISMANIAxMANIAxMANIA” Results

October 2, 2025

Tokyo Korakuen Hall

3. Hardcore Match: Jun Kasai defeated Hideki Okatani with the Cross-Arm Stimulation (15:08).
4. Company yY Presents TOGO FAMILY Vs DDT ~ 5 Vs 5: Kazusada Higuchi, Yuki Ueno, HARASHIMA, Akito & To-y defeated Dick Togo, Yasu Urano, KUBITO, Diego & Naohiro Katsumi when Ueno pinned Urano with the BME (15:37).
5. Daisuke Sasaki 20th Anniversary Match: Daisuke Sasaki & El Desperado defeated Shuji Ishikawa & Antonio Honda when Sasaki submitted Honda with the Crossover Face Lock (23:10).

Twenty years of Daisuke Sasaki was celebrated inside Korakuen Hall today for the latest edition of “CHARISMANIA”. There were not only wrestling matches featuring wrestlers closely connected to Sasaki but live music was performed by several bands too. HEAD PHONES PRESIDENT sponsored the entire show, VANISHING played Sasaki’s entrance music as he walked down to the ring and Sasaki’s own band CHANNEL D opened up the show with a song.

For the main event Sasaki teamed up with a previous big show opponent El Desperado from New Japan to take on two wrestlers who have been close to Sasaki for a lot of his career, Shuji Ishikawa & Antonio Honda. A match as important as this made Honda bring out the Tenzan Tombstone Driver to use on Sasaki while Ishikwa gave Desperado the Fire Thunder Driver. The opposing team also gave Sasaki the Double Impact/Doomsday Device but Desperado came back to give Honda the Pinche Loco. And even though it was Sasaki’s day to be the hero, he still cheated by giving Honda a Low Blow when the ref wasn’t looking so he can easily make Honda give up to La Mistica Crossover Face Lock.

The members of HEAD PHONES PRESIDENT congratulated Sasaki after the match and gave him a commemorative gift. He told the fans today was CHANNEL D’s first performance and their next goal is to perform at Budokan Hall. He also gave a shoutout to the injured Masahiro Takanashi, telling him to live his own life while Sasaki continues living in the ring because they will meet again some day. He then ended the show with a rare show of thanks toward the audience followed by a joke that today’s lineup will be back in twenty years time for Sasaki’s 40th Anniversary.

Sasaki is one of the many wrestlers who was trained by Dick Togo over the years so not only did he book Togo for the show, he booked a bunch of his other protégés too! Yasu Urano, KUBITO, Diego & Naohiro Katsumi have all had their lives touched by Togo and with their mentor taking the lead the TOGO FAMILY fought a team of five DDT wrestlers. Togo had moments to fight with HARASHIMA before Akito and KUBITO took over. Togo also exchanged attacks with Kazusada Higuchi and give To-y the Pedigree on top of Yuki Ueno’s back. Togo’s last big move was to cut off HARASHIMA before doing a running dive onto Higuchi from the ring apron. However Yuki Ueno survived a Cross-Arm Power Bomb from Yasu Urano to hit back with a Dropkick and then pin him with the Best Moonsault Ever.

The rest of DAMNATION T.A were involved in matches on the undercard. Hideki Okatani’s birthday isn’t happening for another month but Sasaki got him a birthday present anyway. It was a Hardcore Match against Jun Kasai! They fought each other using computer keyboards, chairs, a guitar and even a birdcage as weapons. Kasai put Okatani through a table at ringside by jumping from the top rope onto him. As Kasai was getting the upper hand, he told Okatani out loud that his son Hinata Kasai is grateful for all of his help. Okatani wouldn’t be beaten with the Pearl Harbor Splash even after he got skewers planted into his head and he got pushed off a ladder. He also kicked out of the Vertical Drop Tiger Driver so Kasai had to pull out the Cross-Arm Stimulation to finally put him away. He wanted to shake Okatani’s hand after the match but Okatani refused and gave him the middle finger instead. Despite his behavior, Okatani said backstage that it’s been a while since a Hardcore match got him feeling this excited. Meanwhile Kasai said that since DDT is currently taking care of his son, he would like if it they start taking care of him too!

A “Memorial Cup” for Sasaki was up for grabs in the Tag Gauntlet match that ended up turning into a free for all because some of the teams decided to enter early. Danshoku Dieno spent almost the entire match crouching over the top turnbuckle in the Hell Gate position, even after his team was eliminated when Sumicaras was “unmasked” and thrown out of the ring. When Kazuki Hirata & Soma Takao were eliminated, the chaos then began thanks to The Brahman Brothers joining the match. They were accompanied by the long suffering staff member Mataro who was now Mataro Brahman! Mataro took a beating but that just gave The Brahmans the opening to eliminate Toru Owashi & Naomi Yoshimura. Just when things couldn’t get worse, the SCHADENFREUDE International team entered the match with Chris Brookes, Takeshi Masada & Bunbun also dressed up like The Brahmans and doing their spots! The Apex tried to clean things up but were overwhelmed by the ring full of Brahmans. Yukio Naya was shoved face first into Dieno’s Hell Gate, the Brahmans force fed Dieno green slime and by the end of the spot the slime started coming out of Naya’s mouth! Naya got revenge by knocking everyone out of the ring to eliminate both The Brahmans and SCHADENFREUDE. Mataro tried to distract Naya by placing a piece of sashimi onto his head. Naya took a bite out of it and fainted but Yuki Iino then chopped Mataro out of the ring. Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie were the last team to enter and used their teamwork to eliminated The Apex and then Yasutaka Oosera & Ilusion back to back to become the last team standing. Their prize for winning was a free beer voucher each. Irie isn’t much of a beer drinker so he gave his voucher to Ishii.

MJ Paul got some shine in the opening match along with part-time DAMNATION T.A member Minoru Fujita as well as a sort of ally Hiroshi Yamato. Fujita was used by Choun Shiryu to vault himself onto everyone outside the ring. Masashi Takeda used his skills to Northern Lights Suplex Fujita & Yamato at the same time. Yuko Miyamoto tried to finish off Fujita but his Tombstone attempt was reversed into the Sayonara version by Fujita. The DAMNATION-ish team ended up focusing on Shiryu which paid off with Paul using the Reverse Splash to pin him.

Kyoraku Kyomei Vs Ober Eats Goes Overseas, Team 100% Yuki, TOGO FAMILY

September 5, 2025

3. Six Major Single Match III: Ryoma Tsukamoto Vs Daichi Sato
4. Six Major Single Match IV: Hideki Okatani Vs Kazuma Sumi
5. Six Major Single Match V: To-y Vs Takeshi Masada
6. Six Major Single Match VI: Yuya Koroku Vs Yuki Ishida

A very busy weekend of shows ahead. Let’s start off with the match order for the D GENERATIONS show that will kick everything off.

The current Right To Challenge Arm Cover holders are Yuki Iino (Red), Hideki Okatani (Blue) and Yuya Koroku (Green).

DDT “YOKOHAMA BAY☆CLUTCH”, 06/09/2025
Yokohama Radiant Hall

1. Naomi Yoshimura & Tomomitsu Matsunaga Vs Rukiya & Hinata Kasai
2. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Kazusada Higuchi, HARASHIMA & Yuki Ishida Vs Shigehiro Irie, Soma Takao & Kazuma Sumi
3. Hideki Okatani, Ilusion & MJ Paul Vs KANON, KANON & Daichi Sato

5. Special Tag Match: Minoru Suzuki & Shinya Aoki Vs Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada
6. Special 3 Way Match: Danshoku Dieno Vs Kazuki Hirata Vs Antonio Honda

The card has been changed around a bit because Akito has aggravated an old injury of his and will not be at the show tomorrow. Tomomitsu Matsunaga will come in to take his place.

A big task awaits for Takeshi Masada. It’s bad enough he pissed off Minoru Suzuki when he challenged him for the DDT Universal Title but before that match happens he also has to deal with Shinya Aoki in the meantime.

Yuki Iino will be hold an emergency press conference at the show tomorrow. I don’t expect the news to be drastic like him leaving the company anytime soon just because he’s already in the middle of a storyline and holds a few prizes that DDT would need take off of him if he was to leave for somewhere else. Maybe he just wants to announce when he is cashing in his title shot.

DDT “FIGHTING BEER GARDEN 2025 IN SHINJUKU ~EXTRA TIME~”, 12/09/2025
Shinjuku FACE

1. Akito, Soma Takao & Rukiya Vs Daichi Sato, Yuki Ishida & Hinata Kasai

5. Enter Sandman Match: Kazuki Hirata Vs Danshoku Dieno Vs Chris Brookes Vs KANON (w/ KIMIHIRO) Vs Antonio Honda
6. Yukio Naya 8th Anniversary ~ Special Tag Match: Yukio Naya & Kazusada Higuchi Vs Yuki Iino & Jun Akiyama

The addition of KANON to the Enter Sandman Match also means KIMIHIRO will be getting involved too. If there was ever a time for someone to try rapping over Metallica, this would be it.

Another match where Masada has to fight Aoki. That better sharpen him up for Suzuki pretty good.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “I WANT TO SAVE EVERYONE WITH A SMILE ~ ARISU’S AIZUWAKAMATSU GRAND MARCH”, 13/09/2025
Fukushima Aizuwakamatsu City Tsurugajo Gymnasium

1. Raku & Pom Harajuku (w/ Akabe) Vs HIMAWARI & Ren Konatsu (w/ Kappa Green)

5. Mizuki Vs Mifu Ashida
6. Aja Kong, Suzume & Shino Suzuki Vs Rika Tatsumi, Yuki Aino & Kira Summer
7. Arisu Endo & Yuki Arai Vs Miyu Yamashita & Haru Kazashiro

On the same day this show happens, Shoko Nakajima and Yuki Kamifuku will be wrestling each other for the MLW Women’s World Featherweight Title over in America. When MLW made the decision to book that match, Tokyo Joshi Pro came up with an idea to have the other halves Kyoraku Kyomei and Ober Eats face each other back in Japan. That means Hyper Misao and Wakana Uehara are going to clash one on one in an international buildup for the Princess Tag Team Titles!

One of the novelties that happen when TJPW come to Arisu Endo’s hometown is the local mascots get involved in the show. Akabe and Kappa Green have both featured on these shows in the past but never at the same time. Until next weekend that is.

4. Special 3 Way Tag Match: HARASHIMA & Danshoku Dieno Vs MAO & KANON Vs Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada
5. Sapporo Specialty Trial Of Two Single Matches Again – Round 1!: Kazuki Hirata Vs Akito
6. Special Single Match: Yuki Ueno Vs Hideki Okatani
7. DDT Extreme Title: To-y (c) Vs Ilusion

The Sapporo Specialty Trial has become more important now that Kazuki Hirata is the KO-D Openweight Champion. It looks like Akito will be in good shape by the time these two matches take place.

DDT “SUMIRE MELTY LOVE 2025”, 15/09/2025
Hokkaido Sapporo Sun Plaza

1. Hideki Okatani, Ilusion & MJ Paul Vs Danshoku Dieno, Ryuto & Kazuma Sumi

TJPW isn’t the only place to have a trio of Yuki’s teaming together. DDT can do that too. Behold… Team 100% Yuki!

BASARA “BASARA 288 ~UTAGE~”, 17/09/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. 3 Way Tag Match: Isami Kodaka & Takumi Tsukamoto Vs Ryuichi Sekine & FUMA Vs Daiki Shimomura & Lil’ Kraken
2. Ryota Nakatsu, Daichi Kazato & Guts Ishijima Vs Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi, Masato Kamino & Tsutomu Oosugi
3. Takeru Inoue Vs Tomoki Hatano
4. Takato Nakano Vs Gouma Ryu
5. Iron Fist Tag Team Titles: Kengo Mashimo & Ayumu Honda (c) Vs SAGAT & Minoru Fujita

Preparations for the upcoming Iron Fist Tag Tournament are in full gear at the next BASARA show. Takeru Inoue and Tomoki Hatano will be teaming up for the tournament but they will wrestle each other here first. Several other teams will be in action too.

At the last show Masato Kamino teamed up with WizRYU under a mask as Body Slam Machine. Now Gouma Ryu had nothing to do with that but the new unit is named after him so he better be careful if Takato Nakano thinks he is taking away his Aijin Tag partner.

Daichi Kazato gets his wish to team up with Guts Ishijima. His tournament partner Ryota Nakatsu is on the team too so at least there is someone normal there for Ishijima to get along with.

DDT “CHARISMANIAxMANIAxMANIA”, 02/10/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. TOGO FAMILY Vs DDT: Dick Togo, Yasu Urano, KUBITO & Diego Vs Kazusada Higuchi, Yuki Ueno, HARASHIMA & Akito
2. Daisuke Sasaki 20th Anniversary Match: Daisuke Sasaki & El Desperado Vs Shuji Ishikawa & Antonio Honda

At the moment it’s unclear is Daisuke Sasaki’s rib injury will force him out of his own show. But at least on the undercard we get Dick Togo summoning several of his proteges together for a big tag match against DDT’s all stars. Yasu Urano, KUBITO & Diego all have Togo to thank for various part of their wrestling careers.

DDT “ULTIMATE PARTY 2025”, 03/11/2025
Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan

1. Sanshiro Takagi Return Match – Special Single Match: Sanshiro Takagi Vs Hinata Kasai
2. Special Tag Match: KONOSUKE TAKESHITA & Kaisei Takechi Vs X & X
3. Dramatic Dream Match: Zack Sabre Jr. Vs Chris Brookes

DDT promised this week that a special guest will be at “ULTIMATE PARTY 2025” and they revealed it to be Tetsuya Endo. He’ll be returning to DDT for one night only before going back to finish his year long excursion at NOAH.

Mizuki Watase’s 10th Anniversary show is now playing more into the summer rivalry between Ganbare☆Pro and FREEDOMS. Watase was warned by the FREEEDOMS side that his work in GanPro is too amateur for him to be prepared for a Lighttube Death Match with Jun Kasai. However he is confident that he can beat Kasai in a normal match so isn’t scared to fight him in a more dangerous environment.

The trainee Sentaro Motoshima has earned his debut spot on the show. He is being added to the rookies match that was already on the card with another extra wrestler to be announced once it has been decided who it shall be. Motoshima was born in Kagoshima on 4th October, 2001. He is 167cm tall and weighs 74kg. He has a background in basketball and volleyball. He also participates in strength training as a hobby.

BASARA “BASARA 279 ~UTAGE~” Results

May 23, 2025

BASARA “BASARA 279 ~UTAGE~”, 23/05/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Chouten ~Itadaki~ 2025 – A Block Final: Keisuke Ishii defeated Takumi Tsukamoto with a Knee Kick (7:01).
2. Chouten ~Itadaki~ 2025 – B Block Final: Ryota Nakatsu defeated Daiki Shimomura with the V Slider (5:37).
3. Isami Kodaka, TAMURA☆GENE☆ & Tomoki Hatano defeated Takato Nakano, Masato Kamino & Yasu Urano when Hatano pinned Urano with the Diving Guillotine Drop (13:28).
4. Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi Vs Daichi Kazato ended in a Draw when both gave up at the same time (8:46).
5. Ryuichi Sekine, FUMA & Ayumu Honda defeated SAGAT, Lil’ Kraken & Minoru Fujita when FUMA pinned Kraken with a German Suplex (10:44).
6. Chouten ~Itadaki~ 2025 – Final: Ryota Nakatsu defeated Keisuke Ishii with the V Slider (15:44).

Ryota Nakatsu has now cemented himself as the most dominant wrestler in BASARA after winning the Chouten ~Itadaki~ for the third time in his career. Nakatsu beating Daiki Shimomura and Ishii beating Takumi Tsukamoto earlier in the show meant the final became BASARA Vs Ganbare☆Pro. Nakatsu kicked out of the High Angle Double Arm DDT and used a combination of German Suplex, Buzzsaw Kick and then the V Slider to win. Kazusada Higuchi stood in Nakatsu’s corner for the match and afterwards Nakatsu told him they will take the top spots of DDT and BASARA together! Backstage Ishii said he does not want his battles with BASARA to end because they have a lot of people he hasn’t fought yet. He would like to continue participating on their shows.

Since Nakatsu is already the Union MAX Champion, he decided that by winning this tournament he gets to decide his next title match. It will happen at the 3rd August Korakuen Hall show. He already expected to defend the title against the Chouten winner on that show and joked the Korakuen match will be Ryota Nakatsu Vs Ryota Nakatsu. Right now there is nobody he is interested in so he is beginning a new journey to find out who his challenger should be.

The Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi Vs Daichi Kazato match had Takeru Inoue interfering twice, once while wearing the Best Stretchman V3 costume and the other time while wearing the Judomaster outfit.

KUBITO was in attendance to give everyone an update on his health. At the 18th April BASARA show he collapsed at ringside during one of the matches and was rushed to hospital. His tests since then have showed abnormalities but he will remain out of action until the summer. He told fans he will be spending his time living happily from now own.

BASARA “BASARA 277 ~UTAGE~” Results

April 30, 2025

BASARA “BASARA 277 ~UTAGE~”, 30/04/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Chouten ~Itadaki~ 2025 – Round 1 Block A – 2 Count Fall Rules: Takumi Tsukamoto defeated Lil’ Kraken with the Brainbuster Slam (5:12).
2. Chouten ~Itadaki~ 2025 – Round 1 Block B – 2 Count Fall Rules: Daiki Shimomura defeated Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi with a Missile Dropkick (2:54).
3. Chouten ~Itadaki~ 2025 – Round 1 Block A – 2 Count Fall Rules: Daichi Kazato defeated Takato Nakano with the Rocket Punch Press (3:41).
4. Chouten ~Itadaki~ 2025 – Round 1 Block B – 2 Count Fall Rules: Tomoki Hatano Vs SAGAT ended in a Time Limit Draw (10:00).
4a. Overtime – 1 Count Fall Rules: Tomoki Hatano defeated SAGAT with a Cradle (1:11).
5. Chouten ~Itadaki~ 2025 – Round 1 Block A – 2 Count Fall Rules: Isami Kodaka defeated Masato Kamino with a School Boy (3:48).
6. Chouten ~Itadaki~ 2025 – Round 1 Block B – 2 Count Fall Rules: Ryota Nakatsu Vs Minoru Fujita ended in a Draw after a Double Pinfall from an Inside Cradle (5:03).
6a. Overtime – 1 Count Fall Rules: Ryota Nakatsu defeated Minoru Fujita with a Cradle (0:04).
7. Chouten ~Itadaki~ 2025 – Round 1 Block A – 2 Count Fall Rules: Keisuke Ishii defeated Ryuichi Sekine with a Jackknife Power Bomb (6:43).
8. Chouten ~Itadaki~ 2025 – Round 1 Block B – 2 Count Fall Rules: FUMA Vs Ayumu Honda ended in a Time Limit Draw (10:00).
8a. Overtime – 1 Count Fall Rules: FUMA defeated Ayumu Honda with an Arm Bar (1:21).

After taking a year off the Chouten ~Itadaki~ returned for 2025 with an opening round full of shortened matches to encourage wrestlers to go at a sprint pace. Every bout needed only a 2 Count Pinfall to win. There was also a 10 minute time limit with any draws going into sudden death overtime where just a 1 Count Pinfall won the match. FUMA and Tomoki Hatano both made it to Round 2 by reaching the time limit and winning in extra time. Ryota Nakatsu and Minoru Fujita ended up pinning each other from an Inside Cradle so even though it wasn’t a time limit draw, they still went into overtime rules. Fujita very quickly went for the Samson Clutch but Nakatsu blocked it and say on top for the 1 Count Pin. Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi used a Judomaster doppelganger to distract Daiki Shimomura but his plan didn’t work in the end.

The 2nd Round matches on 14th May will be Takumi Tsukamoto Vs Daichi Kazato, Isami Kodaka Vs Keisuke Ishii, Daiki Shimomura Vs Tomoki Hatano and Ryota Nakatsu Vs FUMA. Nakatsu accused BASARA of coming up with a conspiracy to stop him from winning the tournament because he had to fight Minoru Fujita instead of KUBITO (who was too injured to compete). He would like to have a rematch with Fujita under normal rules though. Hatano admits he was saved by the rules today and he remembers fighting Shimomura before. Shimomura doesn’t though.

FUMA said he will treat his Round 2 match with Nakatsu as if it was for the Union MAX Title itself. Kodaka remembered when he was invading Ganbare☆Pro he thought he would cross paths with Ishii but never did. They did have a tag match against each other last year but that was long after Kodaka was an enemy of GanPro. Ishii has never beaten Kodaka in a singles match so he is only focused on that instead of any inter-promotional feud. Tsukamoto is confident he will beat Kazato without needing a gameplan because his previous wins against him were all done with feeling instead of strategy. Kazato normally thinks Tsukamoto is scary but for some reason he thinks he is looking cute lately so he isn’t worried about fighting him.

BASARA “BASARA 275 ~YOKOHAMA MONOGATARI 2~” Results

April 12, 2025

BASARA “BASARA 275 ~YOKOHAMA MONOGATARI 2~”, 12/04/2025
Yokohama Radiant Hall
??? Fans

1. 3 Way Match: Minoru Fujita & Yasu Urano defeated Takumi Tsukamoto & SAGAT and Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino when Fujita pinned SAGAT with a Spinning Cross Lock (10:01).
2. Best 2 Out Of 3 Falls: KUBITO (1) Vs Judomaster (1) ended in a Draw.
2a. KUBITO submitted Judomaster with the Crossface Lock (1:47).
2b. Judomaster pinned KUBITO with the Ippon (0:53).
2c. KUBITO Vs Judomaster ended in a Double Disqualification (1:58).
3. Daichi Kazato, Banana Senga & Tsutomu Oosugi defeated Lil’ Kraken, Brahman Shu & Brahman Kei when Kazato pinned Kraken with a Leg Roll Clutch Hold (10:15).
4. Gouma Ryu defeated Kikutaro with the Running Neckbreaker Drop (11:28).
5. Iron Fist Tag Team Titles: Ryuichi Sekine & FUMA (c) defeated Daiki Shimomura & Keisuke Ishii when FUMA pinned Shimomura with the Hunter’s Suplex (14:27).
*V1 for Hyakusho Ikki.
6. Union MAX Title: Ryota Nakatsu (c) defeated Isami Kodaka with the Super Figure 4 Arm Lock (16:34).
*V1 for Ryota Nakatsu.

The hometown edge didn’t work for Isami Kodaka. He was already on the brink of defeat when Ryota Nakatsu gave him the V Slider but he was done for once he was put in the Super Figure 4 Arm Lock. Nakatsu said Kodaka escaped from his Arm Bar so many times during the match that he got fed up with him to the point where he admits the finish may have been overkill. Kodaka told him he once got advice from a senior to keep fighting strong juniors otherwise you will get old as a wrestler. So Kodaka will keep on challenging Nakatsu. The next Chouten ~Itadaki~ will begin soon and Nakatsu declared he will enter it. He plans to win the tournament so he can nominate his next Union MAX Title challenger.

The team of Ryuichi Sekine & FUMA are now going by the team name Hyakusho Ikki. Their opponents Daiki Shimomura & Keisuke Ishii weren’t considered to be a proper team when they challenged the Iron Fist Tag Team Champions but those concerns were pushed aside once the match began. The champs retained the belts and Sekine quickly left the show to go back to his village because the busy farming season is coming up. Shimomura wants to continue teaming with Ishii and the feeling is mutual. Ishii is getting addicted to BASARA’s charm and would like to enter the Chouten ~Itadaki~.

Kikutaro had a lot of legal questions to ask Gouma Ryu while they were fighting. Things such as is it a non-consensual wrestling crime to say “I’m going to kill you” to your opponent?

Judomaster complained about losing to KUBITO so quickly, claiming it was done via a foul. The two agreed to continue their match as a Best Two Out Of Three Falls contest. Judomaster won the second falls and quickly decided to leave until KUBITO called him the “Red Masked Man”. He returned for the third fall and got unmasked to reveal he is Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi underneath. KUBITO then decided to put the mask over the referee’s face, obscuring his vision. Hiroshi then unmasked KUBITO and the referee decided to disqualify them both for the fouls.

BASARA “BASARA 272 ~TAKAGARI 27~” Results

March 2, 2025

BASARA “BASARA 272 ~TAKAGARI 27~”, 02/03/2025
Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. KUBITO & Yasu Urano defeated Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Ayumu Honda when KUBITO submitted Hiroshi with an Ankle Hold (11:48).
2. Daiki Shimomura & Keisuke Ishii defeated Isami Kodaka & Takato Nakano when Shimomura pinned Nakano with the Swanton Bomb (10:26).
3. Kuishinbo Kamen defeated Daichi Kazato with the Be Back Hold (10:52).
4. Ryuichi Sekine, Takumi Tsukamoto & FUMA defeated SAGAT, Lil’ Kraken & Akira Jo when FUMA pinned Kraken with the Heavy Metal Anthem (16:22).
5. Union MAX Title: Ryota Nakatsu defeated Masato Kamino (c) with the Super Figure 4 Arm Lock (20:32).
*Masato Kamino fails in V2. Ryota Nakatsu becomes the 23rd Union MAX Champion!

When Ryota Nakatsu challenged Masato Kamino to a Union MAX Title match it was because he accused Kamino for lacking humility as a champion. He cared more about his muscles than he did for the belt. Perhaps he learned his lesson today because Nakatsu defeated him and became the new champion! The difference maker came when Nakatsu countered Kamino’s Lariat with a Jumping Armbar and turned it into what he calls the Super Figure 4 Arm Lock. Nakatsu reminded Kamino that he didn’t show enough love for the title or BASARA. However he was able to make it this far from his love of muscles alone so he can keep going that direction as long as he shows a little gratitude to the company every now and then. Kamino understood and shook Nakatsu’s hand. He also bowed to everyone before leaving ringside. Nakatsu then thanked Kazusada Higuchi & Naomi Yoshimura for being in his corner to represent Harimao today.

Ryuichi Sekine & FUMA were challenged by Daiki Shimomura & Keisuke Ishii for the Iron Fist Tag Team Titles. What links those two together is they are both from Saitama. Ishii wants a shot because he has never held that championship before. FUMA told Ishii he needs more justification than that to ask for a title match. However FUMA has never beaten Ishii before so he accepted the challenge.

The referee got annoyed at Daichi Kazato and Kuishinbo Kamen for joking around instead of having a wrestling match. Kazato’s response to that was “What’s a match?” He later missed a Firebird Splash and Kamen lightly pushed him over into the Be Back Hold for the pinfall victory.

The opening match was changed when Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi pulled out at the last minute due to love sickness. Judomaster replaced him and convinced Ayumu Honda to wrestle in a judo uniform like he does. But Yasu Urano hates having to fight people who wear those uniforms and unmasked Judomaster, forcing him to flee. Somehow Hiroshi returned from his sickness and rejoined the match in Judomaster’s place. His performance was still rusty and he ended up attacking Honda by accident, causing Honda to leave ringside in anger. Hiroshi then called for help and Judomaster returned but looking slightly different this time. However he took too long to get to the ring. By the time he climbed in, Hiroshi gave up to KUBITO’s Ankle Lock.

A ten bell salute was given at the start of the show for the recent passing of Osamu Nishimura.
