5. Matsuyama Castle Wrestling Elegence Battle: HARASHIMA defeated MIKAMI with the Somato (14:48).
6. Reckless From Childhood Is Hereditary 3 Way Tag: Antonio Honda & Konosuke Takeshita defeated KUDO & Yukio Sakaguchi and Kota Ibushi & Daisuke Sasaki when Takeshita pinned Sakaguchi with the German Suplex (16:43).

The main event featured three of the final four King Of DDT contestants and ended with one of them pinning another. Konosuke Takeshita with the help of Antonio Honda put away Yukio Sakaguchi in the 3 Way Tag match. Takeshita noted that he had to beat Honda in the first round and asked him to continue supervising him for the tournament’s finale.

Masa Takanashi beat Danshoku Dino to win his Right To Challenge contract. Takanashi swears he will not cash in on the Shuten-dōji leader and his big brother figure KUDO. With two of the contracts in Shuten-dōji’s posession and Yukio Sakaguchi in the running for King Of DDT, the KO-D Openweight Title picture looks like it will be dominated by Shuten-dōji in the near future. The only wild card is Ken Ohka who still has the third contract.

Kazusada Higuchi believes he is in his best condition for the upcoming King Of DDT semi final and final. He’s ready to lift and slam Sakaguchi to his heart’s content.

Tomomitsu Matsunaga was absent from the event but luckily there was a mysterious masked wrestler named Ojoka Kid there to take his place in the opener. This situation was identical to what happened when DDT ran a show in the same building exactly one year ago.

At the age of 28, Hiroshi Fukuda is beginning to consider retirement and what his lasting impact will be on the industry. He wants future generations of Japanese wrestlers to behave more like the gentlemen from Europe and the United States. To prove his point he put together a mixed tag team match to show how gentlemen should treat ladies.

6. KUDO, Yukio Sakaguchi & Masa Takanashi defeated HARASHIMA, Yasu Urano & Akito when KUDO pinned Akito with the Diving Double Knee Drop (18:02).

One day after defending the IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Title in New Japan, Kota Ibushi was able to also defend the KO-D Tag Team Titles with Kenny Omega today. The Golden Lovers earned a 5th successful defence this time knocking off Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi. Omega now wonders if those two were really the strongest challengers available. He wants to face the strongest challengers but also realises that might be bad because he has not been concentrating a lot on the Tag Titles lately. Instead Kenny has been trying to get into the main event scene as a single wrestler.

Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie were pleased with their latest defence of the All Asia Tag Team Titles. They were grateful to go up against a team made up of a DDT ace in MIKAMI and a Union ace in Isami Kodaka.

Tomomitsu Matsunaga had to miss the show due to unknown circumstances. He was replaced by a mysterious local wrestler called Ojoka Kid. He has the same looking body as Matsunaga and also came out to his theme song.
