7. KO-D Openweight Title: Kazusada Higuchi (c) Vs Konosuke Takeshita

A press conference was held earlier today featuring the participants of the two title matches. Konosuke Takeshita announced he is returning to America in October so his goal for Sunday is to win the KO-D Openweight Title and bring it with him to AEW. He does not believe Kazusada Higuchi’s claim that a new wind is blowing through DDT. Higuchi disagrees and thinks the KO-D Title has already taken a new form that will not change back if Takeshita wins it off him and takes it abroad. Win or lose, this is the match Higuchi has been looking for.

Nobody was able to get a word out of Cara Noir during the press conference. Even Yuki Ueno tried to make him speak by asking him questions in English but Noir stayed silent throughout. However his physical gestures made it clear he wants to beat Ueno and become the new DDT Universal Champion. Ueno hopes that if he can successfully defend the title it will open the door to him having a title defence in the United Kingdom. He also wants to defend the belt in Thailand to live up to a promise that Masahiro Takanashi made when he was the champion.

The full line-up of this year’s D-Ou Grand Prix tournament will be revealed during the show.

BASARA “BASARA 195 ~GLITTER~” Results

June 21, 2022

BASARA “BASARA 195 ~GLITTER~”, 21/06/2022
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Withheld

1. Chicharito Shoki defeated Lil’ Kraken with the Torvezino Clutch (6:49).
2. SAGAT & Akiyori Takizawa defeated Daichi Kazato & Gouma when Takizawa pinned Kazato after the Big Mac (13:03).

4. IRON FIST Tag Titles: Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga (c) defeated FUMA & Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi when Senga pinned Hiroshi with the Toque de Espaldas (13:27).
*V5 for Speed Of Sounds.
5. Union MAX Title: Isami Kodaka defeated Ryota Nakatsu (c) with the Diving Double Knee Drop (20:24).
*Ryota Nakatsu fails in V7. Isami Kodaka becomes the 17th Union MAX Champion!

The Union MAX Title belongs to Isami Kodaka once more! He brought Ryota Nakatsu’s dominant reign to an end with an unexpected use of a Fire Thunder Driver to set up not one, not two but three Diving Knee Drops in a row. It’s been four years since Kodaka last held the title and he isn’t eager to risk losing it so quickly. He announced he will not put the title on the line against Yuko Miyamoto for his 20th Anniversary match at Korakuen Hall on 18th July. The upcoming match is what inspired him to use the Fire Thunder today and he promises the match will be the culmination of Yankee Two Kenju.

Speed Of Sounds defended the IRON FIST Tag Titles while wearing homemade robot helmets and acting like RoboCop.

Chicharito Shoki got the win against Lil’ Kraken out of nowhere with the Torvezino Clutch. Kraken got angry over the result and attacked Shoki after the match forcing the two to be pulled apart.

At the start of the show Yusuke Kubo came out, making his first public appearance in BASARA since he was hospitalized with acute pancreatitis back in March. Kubo announced his return match will be on 10th July and he will be using a new name to mark the occasion. Yusuke Kubo is now called KUBITO! He explained it is sort of like the Mexican version of calling him “Kubo-chan”. The origin of the name comes from his time staying in Mexico when the landlady of the place he stayed in always called him “Kubito”.

BASARA “BASARA 173 ~FUDO FUKUTSU~” Results

October 24, 2021

BASARA “BASARA 173 ~FUDO FUKUTSU~”, 24/10/2021
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
??? Fans – Withheld

1. FUMA & Yusuke Kubo defeated Takato Nakano & Lil Kraken when FUMA submitted Kraken with a Stretch Muffler (6:05).
2. Gouma & Yasu Urano defeated Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Daichi Kazato when Urano pinned Kazato with a Diving Body Press (6:16).
3. SAGAT defeated Masato Kamino with the Goregrind (9:17).
4. UWA World 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Toru Owashi, Shuji Kondo & Takuya Sugawara defeated Isami Kodaka, Daiki Shimomura & Yuko Miyamoto when Kondo pinned Shimomura with the King Kong Lariat (12:41).
*Aagan Iisou become the 69th UWA World 6-Man Tag Team Champions!
5. IRON FIST Tag Titles: Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga defeated Fuminori Abe & Takuya Nomura (c) when Oosugi pinned Abe with the Tsuki no Ishi (17:24).
*Astronauts fail in V3. Speed Of Sounds become the 5th IRON FIST Tag Champions!
6. Union MAX Title: Ryota Nakatsu defeated Takumi Tsukamoto (c) with the V Slider (19:57).
*Takumi Tsukamoto fails in V7. Ryota Nakatsu becomes the 16th Union MAX Champion!

Ryota Nakatsu is now a two time Union MAX Champion after beating Takumi Tsukamoto. There was a High Kick in the match that Tsukamoto said blew away all of the memories he had since waking up this morning. The result gives the former champion mixed emotions. He is both extremely disappointed he lost and extremely happy to see Nakatsu as the champion again. He told Nakatsu to make good use of the MAX Title because he will win it back some day. Nakatsu wants to beat Tsukamoto’s reign of six defences so will aim to make seven. SAGAT came out and asked to be the first challenger. It will be Sparky Vs Sparky for the MAX Title!

Speed Of Sounds reclaims the IRON FIST Tag Titles from Astronauts! Teamwork was the key to this result. Tsutomu Oosugi praised his partner Banana Senga for being there at the right time, every time. He said if you ever want to win tag team championships, you have to have Senga as your tag partner. Over on the Astronauts side, Fuminori Abe & Takuya Nomura agreed that they lost because they wrestled more like two individuals instead of a team. However, Abe thinks Astronauts are still one of the top tag teams around. It’s up to them to start from the beginning again and improve each other as a team.

The UWA World 6-Man Tag Team Titles now belong to Toru Owashi, Shuji Kondo & Takuya Sugawara. It’s Aagan Iisou reunited! Owashi said the belts mean a lot to them because they were used by Toryumon and El Dorado when they were there. Aagan Iisou now claim management rights over the championship and where it will go next is up to them. Sugawara wrestled in BASARA for the first time and likes what he sees. He’s sure he will show up here again periodically. Owashi also praised Daiki Shimomura for how he has grown in BASARA. Isami Kodaka shares similar thoughts, feeling regret for Shimomura losing his title belt. He and Yuko Miyamoto were also happy to find out Minoru Fujita was in the venue to watch today’s show.

Yasu Urano carried the Fujita Pro Wrestling School flag to the ring for his entrance. Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi moved around weirdly on his feet during the match and blamed it on gout. He later turned the match into a singing contest against Gouma.

The shaky mystery of who is behind the Lil Kraken mask is cracking even further. His tag partner Takato Nakano accidentally shouted out “Tetsuo!” when he reached out for a tag during the match.

Has the little birdie migrated somewhere warmer for the winter?

The Team Challenge all came down to the final round between the captains Isami Kodaka and Fuminori Abe. Since it was a No DQ match nothing was stopping wrestlers from both teams interfering lumberjack style. The match soon turned to chaos with the ring filled with wrestlers fighting each other. Abe won out in the end when he pinned Kodaka while all of his team piled on top of them.

The X member of Abe’s team turned out to be Masahiro Takanashi! This was Takanashi’s first match in BASARA ever since he injured his ankle against Abe back in March 2020. Takanashi had orange streamers thrown for his entrance which made him wonder if his surprise appearance was leaked online before the show.

A mystery masked wrestler going by the name Lil’ Kraken appeared during the show. He spoke with a familiar Tochigi accent and said he will wrestle at the Korakuen Hall show on 24th October.
