WRESTLE UNIVERSE

Tomorrow sees Yuki Kamifuku and Haruna Neko appear in “THAT’S J-PW” for the first time.

DDT “MAX BUMP 2021 TOUR IN NAGANO”, 25/04/2021
Nagano City Museum of Art Act Space

2. Tetsuya Endo & Yuji Hino Vs Kazusada Higuchi & Yuya Koroku

6. Shinshu! Chashu! Minanoshu! Nagano Specialty Special 6-Man Tag Match: Jun Akiyama, Makoto Oishi & Yusuke Okada Vs HARASHIMA, Yuki Iino & Keigo Nakamura

Mizuki Watase is still recovering from his arm injury and won’t be able to wrestle on the show. He originally targeted the Nagano show as the location for his return match. He will still be in attendance to greet the fans.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “YES! WONDERLAND 2021 ~WE ARE STILL IN THE MIDDLE OF OUR DREAMS~”, 04/05/2021
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Yuki Arai Debut Match: Maki Itoh & Arisu Endo Vs Miu Watanabe & Yuki Arai
2. Princess Tag Team Titles: Sakisama & Mei Saint-Michel (c) Vs Mirai Maiumi & Suzume
3. Princess Of Princess Title: Rika Tatsumi (c) Vs Miyu Yamashita

A ring full of idols will welcome Yuki Arai to the wrestling business. Arai already named Maki Itoh as a future opponent she wanted to wrestle. She also sees Arisu Endo as her closest senpai so it makes sense for those two to be her opponents. Miu Watanabe wants to bridge the gap between idols and wrestlers which makes her the perfect person for Arai to tag with. Arai promised she will do her best to get everyone’s approval. That kind of attitude doesn’t impress Itoh. She’ll see what Arai is like in the ring but she’s not excited about it.

DDT “MAX BUMP 2021”, 04/05/2021
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Akito Vs Mad Paulie
2. 3 Way Match To Bring Back The Smile On Kikutaro’s Face After All He’s Been Through: Danshoku Dieno Vs Antonio Honda Vs Kikutaro
3. 3 Way 6-Man Tag Match: Konosuke Takeshita, Shunma Katsumata & MAO Vs Daisuke Sasaki, Tetsuya Endo & Yuji Hino Vs Kazusada Higuchi, Yukio Sakaguchi & Yuki Iino
4. Jun Akiyama, Makoto Oishi & Yusuke Okada Vs HARASHIMA, Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata
5. KO-D 8-Man Tag Team Titles: Sanshiro Takagi, Yukio Naya, Chikara & Nabe Yakan (c) Vs Keigo Nakamura, Hideki Okatani, Toui Kojima & Yuya Koroku
6. DDT Extreme Title & Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Chris Brookes (E/c) Vs Saki Akai (I/c)
7. DDT UNIVERSAL Title: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs Soma Takao

Did you enjoy Konosuke Takeshita’s quick stay in AEW? I bet he’ll go back eventually. The timing suggests he is back in Japan now and self isolating before he can return to action in DDT. Waiting for him is his friends in The 37KAMIINA for a massive free for all against DAMNATION and Eruption plus former ally Yuki Iino.

The recent incident in America caused Kikutaro to lose his smile. It’s up to Danshoku Dieno and Antonio Honda to bring it back!

Shizuoka Create Hamamatsu Hall

Match #4 does not sound suitable for children at all.

3. Yukio Sakaguchi Vs Yusuke Okada
4. Naomi Yoshimura Return Match: HARASHIMA & Naomi Yoshimura Vs Yuki Ueno & MAO
5. Ultimate Tag League 2021: Jun Akiyama & Makoto Oishi Vs Chris Brookes & Antonio Honda
6. Ultimate Tag League 2021: Konosuke Takeshita & Shunma Katsumata Vs Daisuke Sasaki & Yuji Hino

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “STILL INCOMPLETE” Results

April 17, 2021

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “STILL INCOMPLETE”, 17/04/2021
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
510 Fans

1. Marika Kobashi & Sena Shiori defeated Moka Miyamoto & Arisu Endo when Shiori submitted Watanabe with the Checkmate (8:39).
2. Miu Watanabe, Raku & Pom Harajuku defeated Yuna Manase, Mahiro Kiryu & Haruna Neko when Raku pinned Neko with the Doctor Yellow (10:10).
3. Miyu Yamashita defeated Hikari Noa with the Skull Kick (9:30).
4. 3 Way Tag Match: Mirai Maiumi & Suzume defeated Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki and Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao when Maiumi pinned Nakajima with the Lariat (10:40).
5. International Princess Title: Yuki Kamifuku (c) defeated Nao Kakuta with the Famouser (9:02).
*V3 for Yuki Kamifuku.
6. Princess Tag Team Titles: Sakisama & Mei Saint-Michel defeated Nodoka Tenma & Yuki Aino (c) when Saint-Michel pinned Aino with a Cradle (17:36).
*The Bakuretsu Sisters fail in V3. NEO Biishiki-gun becomes the 8th Princess Tag Team Champions!
7. Princess Of Princess Title: Rika Tatsumi (c) defeated Maki Itoh with the Missile Hip (19:36).
*V2 for Rika Tatsumi.

The middle fingers went a flying in the Princess Of Princess Title match. When Maki Itoh attempted to apply the Itoh Special, Rika Tatsumi gave her the finger. Itoh bit it so Tatsumi gave her the finger with her other hand only for Itoh to bite that too. The distraction threw Itoh off her game anyway and Tatsumi caught her in the Dragon Sleeper. Itoh survived being choked out by raising her own middle fingers into the air. She had a last gasp at victory by rolling Tatsumi into the Itoh Royal but only got a two count out of it. Tatsumi used a Hip Attack to cut off her opponent’s momentum. She then hit the Twist Of Fate and pinned Itoh with the Missile Hip from the top rope.

Tatsumi praised Itoh for her efforts and asked her to come back for a fist bump. Itoh stuck her middle finger in Tatsumi’s face instead and left. Tatsumi then called for Miyu Yamashita’s attention. Three years ago Yamashita gave her a title shot in the main event of Korakuen Hall during Golden Week. Tatsumi couldn’t beat her then but things are different now. She wants to be the strongest champion and to do that she needs to beat the strongest challengers. That means Tatsumi wants to defend the belt against Yamashita next! She asked if Yamashita is prepared to take the challenge? Yamashita responded by slapping Tatsumi across the face. Tatsumi slapped her back and said their title match will happen on the 4th May Korakuen show.

The first “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart winners barely won the Princess Tag Team Titles by the skin of their teeth. The Bakuretsu Sisters did the smart thing by getting rid of Sakisama. That was set up when Yuki Aino blocked Sakisama’s Apron PK and held her on her shoulders so Nodoka Tenma could his the Bakuretsu Bulldog onto the floor. That left Mei Saint-Michel scrambling to continue fighting by herself. Tenma gave her the Killswitch and it looked to be all over. However, Saint-Michel suddenly Cradled Tenma and got the three count for the shock result.

Sakisama asked Saint-Michel how she was feeling now they are the champions? “C’est bien!” Now that she has her own championship belt that matches with Sakisama’s, she thinks she has achieved her goal of becoming a fully fledged maid! Suddenly, BeeStar entered the ring to cut off her victory speech, causing Saint-Michel to freeze on the spot. Mirai Maiumi apologized for the interruption but she wants to challenge NEO Biishiki-gun for the Princess Tag Titles. Suzume admitted they’ve been beaten by the new champions before but they are not the same now as they were back then. BeeStar will beat them to evolve even more! Sakisama told BeeStar she doesn’t remember who they are. She also doesn’t have time right now because she is very busy playing the new Monster Hunter. So Sakisama is giving BeeStar two weeks to improve because they will get their title match on 4th May.

With three defences achieved, Yuki Kamifuku now has the most successful International Princess Title run in the championship’s short history. Her grudge with Nao Kakuta over glamour against normality has also been settled with today’s result. Kakuta’s attempt to use her Shiden Kai finisher was countered into the Famouser. Kamifuku also used her long legs to fight out of a Crossface Lock, hit a Dropkick and used another Famouser to get the win. They shook hands and Kakuta told the press afterwards that during the handshake Kamifuku quietly apologized for calling her ugly.

BeeStar were the last team standing in Tokyo Joshi Pro’s first ever 3 Way Tag Match. The rules put in place allowed no tags so it was more of a tornado tag team affair. To make things even more unusual, the Kyoraku Kyomei team had a difference of opinion that led to Hyper Misao offering to team with The Magical Sugar Rabbits while Shoko Nakajima wanted to side with BeeStar. It turned out to be a trick and the two were still together all along. The match was frantic with different pairings going at it. BeeStar got rid of MagiRabi when Maiumi hit Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki with a Double Lariat. Nakajima grabbed Suzume for the Northern Lights Suplex but that left her vulnerable for Maiumi to hit her with the Lariat and win the match.

Hikari Noa still has a lot to learn if she wants to beat the likes of Yamashita. She’s gotten stronger by having the Hardcore Match a while ago but was a bit too eager to charge into a Front Kick at the corner. That gave Yamashita the opening to hit the Skull Kick.

Raku getting the win for her team turned out to be special because today is her mother’s birthday. Both Miu Watanabe & Pom Harajuku sang “Happy Birthday to Raku-chan’s mom” backstage when she told them about it. Yuna Manase motivated Mahiro Kiryu & Haruna Neko to continue doing their best even though they lost. Even though Manase is in a different promotion now, she is still watching over TJPW and wants everyone to meet her expectations.

The opening match saw Sena Shiori earn her first victory with a new submission move. The Checkmate is an Arm Clutch Half Crab Hold and Shiori made Moka Miyamoto submit to it. It is a move Shiori has been thinking about because using a normal Crab Hold wasn’t working for her. She thanked Marika Kobashi for teaming with her and said it is really encouraging to work with Kobashi. Both Miyamoto and Arisu Endo are left waiting for another day to get their first win.

Yuki Arai introduced herself to the fans at the start of the show. She is still worried about her debut wrestling match on 4th May while also working as an idol. She wants to grow from here so everyone can say her debut match was a success.

The 2021 Tokyo Princess Cup will be held across multiple shows during the summer. The first two rounds will be held at Shin-Kiba 1st RING from 22nd to 25th July. The quarter finals will be held in Shinjuku FACE on 31st July. The final rounds will be held in Korkauen Hall on 15th August.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SPRING TOUR ’21 ~THE BULLET~” Results

April 10, 2021

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SPRING TOUR ’21 ~THE BULLET~”, 10/04/2021
Tokyo Itabashi Green Hall
105 Fans – No Vacancy

1. Shoko Nakajima defeated Arisu Endo with the Northern Lights Suplex (8:09).
2. Marika Kobashi & Hikari Noa defeated Pom Harajuku & Haruna Neko when Kobashi pinned Harajuku with a Running Bulldog Headlock (9:13).
3. Yuka Sakazaki, Mizuki & Raku defeated Mirai Maiumi, Suzume & Moka Miyamoto when Mizuki pinned Miyamoto with the Cutie Special (10:46).
4. Nodoka Tenma & Yuki Aino defeated Hyper Misao & Mahiro Kiryu when Aino pinned Kiryu with the Venus DDT (9:47).
5. Rika Tatsumi, Miu Watanabe & Nao Kakuta defeated Yuki Kamifuku, Maki Itoh & Miyu Yamashita when Kakuta pinned Kamifuku with the Shiden Kai (14:57).

We’re one week away from Korakuen Hall again. The focus of today’s main event was split in two directions. One was on Rika Tatsumi against Maki Itoh and the other was for Yuki Kamifuku against Nao Kakuta. Itoh cut off Kakuta from doing the Shiden Kai to Kamifuku. Tatsumi then got her hands on Itoh and put her in the Dragon Sleeper, refusing to let go. Kakuta went back to Kamifuku and got the better of her, winning the match with the Shiden Kai. Tatsumi still wouldn’t let go of the Dragon Sleeper after the match until Miu Watanabe and Miyu Yamashita separated them. Tatsumi asked a recovering Itoh if she has the energy to get up on her own. At Korakuen she is going to give her even more despair so if Itoh’s fans around the world want to change their support, now is the time! Kakuta then got on the microphone and told Kamifuku that being just a normal girl has nothing to do with what happens in the ring.

The participants in the semi-main event all tried to wrestle while playing Lords Mobile on their smartphones. Tokyo Joshi Pro currently has a cross-promotional event going on in the game and some of the wrestlers have formed their own guilds for fans to join. The winning guild at the end of the promotional event will appear on an upcoming advert for the game.

The Magical Sugar Rabbits were on the winning side against BeeStar in the 6-Woman Tag Match. The two teams are part of TJPW’s first ever 3 Way Tag Match at Korakuen next week.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “GO GIRL ~WOMEN ONLY FREE BOX OFFICE~” Results

April 4, 2021

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “GO GIRL ~WOMEN ONLY FREE BOX OFFICE~”, 04/04/2021
Tokyo Itabashi Green Hall
110 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Mirai Maiumi defeated Moka Miyamoto with the Lariat (7:39).
2. 3 Way Match: Yuki Kamifuku defeated Marika Kobashi and Pom Harajuku when Kamifuku pinned Harajuku with the Famouser (7:06).
3. Sakisama & Mei Saint-Michel defeated Yuki Aino & Mahiro Kiryu when Saint-Michel pinned Kiryu after the Tarte Tatin (9:09).
4. Shoko Nakajima, Hyper Misao & Raku defeated Nodoka Tenma, Nao Kakuta & Haruna Neko when Nakajima pinned Neko with the Northern Lights Suplex (11:03).
5. Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh defeated Hikari Noa & Sena Shiori when Itoh pinned Shiori with the Flying Big Head (12:25).
6. Rika Tatsumi, Miu Watanabe & Suzume defeated Yuka Sakazaki, Mizuki & Arisu Endo when Tatsumi submitted Endo with the Dragon Sleeper (12:47).

The first Tokyo Joshi Pro show held in front of a women only audience was considered a big success. Rika Tatsumi gathered everyone in the main event together at the end to promote TJPW’s upcoming shows and tell the fans they will be waiting for them. For the backstage comments, Tatsumi was grateful to see so many people come to see the show. Miu Watanabe has performed in front of women only crowds before at idol concerts but she had great fun wrestling in front of them too. Suzume liked seeing the fans look so happy and wondered if she looked the same back when she was a fan attending shows. Yuka Sakazaki said there was a floral smell in the air coming from the audience. Mizuki joked that they smell better than Sakazaki but she still smells nice, like bathing in the forest. Arisu Endo just laughed at them arguing and stayed out of it.

Since today was “Girl’s Day” Maki Itoh gifted Miyu Yamashita one of her ribbons to tie in her hair for their match. HikaShio pulled it out, telling her it doesn’t look good on her. Itoh wouldn’t forgive them and the match became heated from there. Itoh dropped Hikari Noa with a DDT, Yamashita hit Sena Shiori with the Skull Kick and Itoh pinned her with the Flying Big Head. Yamashita couldn’t find the ribbon after the match and left the ring feeling sad.

Traps were laid out by Hyper Misao to distract each of her opponents and isolate Haruna Neko from the rest of her team. They placed a mouse toy for Nao Kakuta to play with but Neko caught it instead. Also a rice ball was left out for Nodoka Tenma but she picked it up to eat in the ring instead of eating it at the entrance stage. Misao then attempted the ambush but was surprised to see it didn’t work. At least Shoko Nakajima & Raku were there to help get Misao out of trouble.

The usual Up Up Girls performance at the start of the show was delayed thanks to an early appearance from NEO Biishiki-gun. They thanked everyone for attending their “beauty theatre” today. Sakisama asked Mei Saint-Michel what role she would like to play. She innocently replied she wanted to play Sakisama! The real Sakisama didn’t know how to react but when it was time for their match, Saint-Michel got to wear Sakisama’s hat and attack their opponents with her rose. After they defeated Yuki Aino & Mahiro Kiryu, Sakisama told them they are best suited for playing the roles of stones and trees. When NEO Biishiki-gun wins the Princess Tag Team Titles the belts will become diamond class graded at one million carats!

Before the 3 Way Match began, all participants agreed to compete without wearing any lipstick, colored contact lenses or foundation. Anyone caught breaking that rule would be disqualified immediately. Yuki Kamifuku walked out with light makeup on her face and Marika Kobashi wore sunglasses but everyone gave each other the OK to start the match. Kobashi was targeted because of the sunglasses. She argued a Gal should have vibes so she needs to wear the glasses to replace the contact lenses. Pom Harajuku armed herself with makeup remover wiped Kamifuku’s face with it. Kamifuku used the same wipes on Kobashi before pinning Harajuku with the Famouser.

For the opening match, Mirai Maiumi stomped her feet to get the audience to clap for her and Moka Miyamoto.

The second “GO GIRL” show will take place on 11th July at Itabashi Green Hall. Today’s show was free attendance but tickets for the second show will be priced at 2,000 yen.

Tokyo Itabashi Green Hall
110 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Hikari Noa defeated Mahiro Kiryu with the Uranage (7:16).
2. 3 Way Match: Miyu Yamashita defeated Raku and Sena Shiori when Yamashita pinned Shiori with the Attitude Adjustment (5:47).
3. Maki Itoh defeated Moka Miyamoto with the Itoh Deluxe (8:22).
4. Yuki Kamifuku, Mirai Maiumi & Suzume defeated Nao Kakuta, Haruna Neko & Pom Harajuku when Kamifuku pinned Harajuku with the Famouser (10:21).
5. Rika Tatsumi defeated Arisu Endo with the Twist Of Fate (10:08).
6. Nodoka Tenma, Yuki Aino, Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao defeated Yuka Sakazaki, Mizuki, Miu Watanabe & Marika Kobashi when Tenma pinned Kobashi with the Killswitch (13:41).

Hyper Misao said her team today have all bonded together because they are a bunch of hero otakus. Their big combination move involved Nodoka Tenma, Yuki Aino & Shoko Nakajima all lifting up Misao and charging her into their opponents like a battering ram. However their opponents kept dodging out of the way and Misao hit into the turnbuckle many times. Miu Watanabe then put Misao in a submission and her partners did their own triple team move. Yuka Sakazaki, Mizuki & Marika Kobashi all grabbed the bottom rope and leaned back from the ring apron, chanting “Do your best!” to Misao as she tried to reach over for the rope that was being pulled away from her. The Magical Sugar Rabbits prevented The Bakuretsu Sisters from doing the Bakuretsu Bulldog on Kobashi. But the match whittled down to Tenma pinned Kobashi with the Killswitch.

Nao Kakuta wanted to confront Yuki Kamifuku after their match but Kamifuku pushed her away and left.

Both Raku and Sena Shiori hid under the ring for Miyu Yamashita’s entrance so they could ambush her together. Their teamwork eventually faded away and the match became more like the 3 Way it was supposed to be. From there Yamashita was able to pick apart her opponents and win.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW INSPIRATION” Results

April 1, 2021

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW INSPIRATION”, 01/04/2021
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
142 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Mizuki defeated Miu Watanabe with the Diving Foot Stomp (14:04).
2. Rika Tatsumi defeated Raku with the Missile Hips (10:26).
3. Hardcore Match: Rina Yamashita defeated Hikari Noa with the Splash Mountain onto the Chairs (19:05).

For her first ever hardcore match, Hikari Noa looked like she was born to do it. Fighting in a Jun Kasai inspired costume, Noa got a taste of violence by facing off against Rina Yamashita. Her first weapon of choice was a box filled with CDs and glowsticks which she emptied over the ring. She also got Yamashita to crash into a board with glowsticks glued onto it in the corner. Yamashita put Noa through a table at ringside with the Fire Thunder but Noa would later smash a broken piece of the table over her opponent’s head. Noa would then mimic Kasai by doing the Pearl Harbor Splash, goggles and all for a nearfall. Yamashita took over with a well timed Lariat and pinned Noa with the Splash Mountain onto a pile of chairs to win.

Noa told Yamashita after the match that she was feeling the pain but still had fun. A little too much fun because Noa wants to do it again tomorrow! Yamashita said she is busy tomorrow but she will always agree to a rematch when Noa calls her again. She also enjoyed the match and told Noa that the worlds of Hardcore and Death Match wrestling welcomes her! Noa thought today’s match was an April Fool’s joke when she first heard about it. But her dream came through and now she wants to go one step further and do a death match. In her backstage interview, Noa said she wants to end up with a cool looking back like Jun Kasai’s. Her favorite weapon is barbed wire because it is made to hurt people. So she wants to become the Death Match Queen with barbed wire!

Raku hid underneath to commit an odd ambush on Rika Tatsumi before their match. She snuck up on Tatsumi and successfully taped a teddy bear onto Tatsumi’s backside. Tatsumi quickly hit Raku with the Hip Attack but the teddy bear cushioned the blow and made the move useless. Tatsumi was able to tear the tape off, remove the bear and wrestle the rest of the match as normal.

For a while Mizuki stopped using the Whirling Candy but she brought it back when Miu Watanabe turned out to be very difficult to beat. Watanabe kicked out of it but was pinned with the Diving Foot Stomp afterwards.

The next edition of “TJPW INSPIRATION” will be held on 1st July.

110 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Mizuki defeated Moka Miyamoto with the Cutie Special (7:56).
2. Nao Kakuta, Pom Harajuku & Haruna Neko defeated Hikari Noa, Mahiro Kiryu & Sena Shiori when Kakuta pinned Shiori with the Shiden Kai (9:26).

4. Nodoka Tenma, Yuki Aino & Arisu Endo defeated Hyper Misao, Marika Kobashi & Raku when Tenma pinned Kobashi with the Killswitch (11:06).
5. Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe defeated Miyu Yamashita & Mirai Maiumi when Tatsumi submitted Maiumi with the Strangle Dragon Sleeper (13:57).

With her next Princess Of Princess Title challenger picked, Rika Tatsumi went to work preparing for the title defence in April. Today’s warmup match involved Tatsumi facing Maki Itoh’s tag partner, Miyu Yamashita. She was taken out with the Daydream Eternity and the match came down to Tatsumi against Mirai Maiumi. Hip Attacks were used to set up the Dragon Sleeper for a Daydream win. After the match, Tatsumi said Itoh has been all over the news lately from wrestling in America to having her Twitter hacked. While that is going on, Tatsumi is showing everyone what Tokyo Joshi Pro is all about. She and Miu Watanabe promised to continue working hard together.

The 3 Way Match gave Yuka Sakazaki and Shoko Nakajima a chance to wrestle each other again for the first time in a while. Suzume couldn’t get a look in and felt like a third wheel for the opening exchanges. When she finally did get involved, Sakazaki & Nakajima took the opportunity to bring back some of their Miraclians spots against her.

Two teams went into battle to win the much desired all you can eat meal from Genghis Khan Kirishima. Team Red were led by Shoko Nakajima while Team White was captained by Rika Tatsumi. They cheered on their teammates throughout the 11 match challenge while Shota and Tetsuya Koda did commentary.

Nakajima went first for her team and defeated Mahiro Kiryu in the opening match. 2 Count Rules meant everybody was kept on their toes and looking for quick pins. Nakajima proved that by using a Hurricanrana to win.

Team Red then went 2-0 when Pom Harajuku beat Arisu Endo. The rookie tried to capitalise from a missed Pom Do Justice but Harajuku dodged her follow up and got her finisher the second time for the pin.

HikaShio were pitted against each other with both Hikari Noa and Sena Shiori determined to win. Noa got the better of her tag partner with a Rotating Leg Fold cradle (I thought she had a name for that, the Saigo No Bansan or something?).

A karate confrontation was up next when Miyu Yamashita faced Moka Miyamoto. After some back and forth sparring, Yamashita won with the Skull Kick, tying the scored at 2-2.

The first of several time limit draws started with Mirai Maiumi Vs Hyper Misao. But before that happened, Misao came out wearing another mask over her own. She claimed to be an incarnation of the being that controls the masks of all heroes and it had taken over Misao’s body to search for a once in a century talent. She believes Maiumi is that person and she offered her a superhero mask that contained the spirits of all the past heroes. Maiumi fell for the trick and Misao attacked her, revealing she isn’t being possessed at all. The five minutes expired while Mirai was trying to get her opponent in the Miramare. She went back to the move when the match restarted but Misao rolled on top of her for the sudden death 1 Count Pin to win.

The restaurant sponsoring the show specializes in lamb meat so Miu Watanabe spent last night counting sheep in bed so she could win with her head full of sheep. Marika Kobashi though kicked out of a Falling Canadian Backbreaker at one and fought Watanabe to a time limit draw. Kobashi then surprised Watanabe with a Cradle to quickly win during extra time. After six matches the show was at its halfway point and the captains did quick interviews about the results so far. It was 3-3 so still all to play for.

The Raku Vs Yuki Aino match began with Raku inviting Aino to lie down next to her for the Good Night Express. It also caused the referee to lie down too. When it came to actually wrestling, Aino pinned Raku with the Side Suplex.

Yuki Kamifuku is confused over why Nao Kakuta’s nickname is “Rat Chaser”. Kakuta explained that it’s not her nickname but her catchphrase. Also, Kakuta has been here for four months already and everyone has accepted her except for one person, Yuki Kamifuku! She was determined to beat her today even is Kamifuku is a champion. The two fought tooth and nail with each other, lasting the full five minutes. In overtime, Kakuta gouged Kamifuku’s eyes from behind and pinned her with a School Boy for the upset.

Mizuki described her match with Nodoka Tenma like it was a rabbit against a raccoon. She Dropkicked Tenma out of the ring then hit a Diving Body Press out of the ring. Tenma tried to do the Killswitch but Mizuki countered it into the Cutie Special for the pinfall.

With two matches left, Team White had a chance to win the challenge early if Haruna Neko could beat Yuka Sakazaki. Luckily for Team Red, Sakazaki outsmarted Neko and won with the Magical Merry-Go-Round.

With the score tied at 5-5 it was all on the line in the final match. Team White captain Tatsumi fought against Suzume, who knew she now had a lot of responsibility on her shoulders. She went for the win but couldn’t get Tatsumi pinned for long enough. Time ran out and the last match went into overtime. Suzume kicked out of a Hip Attack before the 1 Count but she was done for when Tatsumi hit a Sliding Hip attack for the victory.

Team White were declared the winners and given the meal voucher by Koda. Tatsumi wanted to go eat with Mizuki straight away but then said all of Team White should go together to celebrate. Nakajima complained about the results and told Koda that Suzume deserves something for her performance. He should do something before Nakajima reveals what secret Maria Makino merchandise Koda keeps in his room. Koda stopped her and said everyone who wrestled today deserves a meal so he will treat everyone to lunch at Genghis Khan Kirishima!
