BASARA “VAJRA 5 ~EARTH SHATTERING~”, 13/03/2016
Kitazawa Town Hall
280 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Kenji Takeshima & Tatsuhiko Yoshino defeated SAGAT & CHANGO when Takeshima pinned SAGAT with the Techno Break (11:46).
2. Kikutaro defeated Ryu Gouma with a Russian Leg Sweep onto the Statute Book (9:43).
3. Tsutomu Oosugi defeated Daichi Kazato with the Tsuki No Ishii (8:15).
4. FUMA, Madoka & Yusuke Kubo defeated Ryuchi Sekine, Ryota Nakatsu & Koji Iwamoto when FUMA pinned Nakatsu with the HEAVY METAL ANTHEM (18:03).
5. Takumi Tsukamoto defeated Hi69 with the Lightning Speed (12:19).
6. Isami Kodaka defeated Hiroshi Fukuda with a Manjigatame (13:27).

In the main event Isami Kodaka countered Hiroshi Fukuda’s Perfect Plex into a Manjigatame for the submission victory. Fukuda was left slumped in the corner after the match so Kodaka went over to find out what was wrong. Fukuda said he wanted medicine for gout. Kodaka told Fukuda he will help him fight the incurable disease! The conversation continued and they figured out if 3 out of every 10 people have gout then that means 30% of the BASARA roster has gout! Kodaka shook Fukuda’s hand as a promise to cure gout and that they will also have a rematch someday.

Kodaka called out FUMA at the end of the show and he came out with the rest of Kotetsu Gundan beside him. Kodaka calledd FUMA’s new look laughable and he declared war on the unit. He said BASARA had banned hardcore wrestling until now. Starting in April BASARA will have its first Hardcore Match and it will involve Kotetsu Gundan. FUMA said he felt like he just stepped in a land mine. When Kodaka said hardcore FUMA thought he meant hardcore punk rock. He’s not punk, he’s heavy metal! FUMA said he’ll look forward to the hardcore match and he’ll keep on rocking by slamming thorns and chains into Kodaka’s soft heart!

Hi69 was graceful in defeat. He praised Takumi Tsukamoto for beating him.

BASARA “VAJRA 4 WU”, 03/03/2016
Saitama Wrestle Fighter Museum
88 Fans – No Vacancy

1. Hi69 & Madoka defeated Koji Iwamoto & Daichi Kazato when Madoka pinned Kazato with the Ranhyei (10:57).
2. 3 Way Match: Ryu Gouma defeated Isami Kodaka and Atsushi Matsuyama when Gouma pinned Matsuyama after a Spear from Kodaka (8:00).
3. FUMA & Yusuke Kubo defeated Hiroshi Fukuda & SAGAT when FUMA pinned SAGAT with the HEAVY METAL ANTHEM (13:41).
4. Takumi Tsukamoto defeated Ryota Nakatsu with a Grounded Manjigatame (14:28).
5. Ryuichi Sekine defeated Tsutomu Oosugi with the Ryusetsu (15:07).

The Cavalry team of Ryuichi Sekine and Ryota Nakatsu were the producers for this show. The main event continued the new rivalry between Cavalry and Speed Of Sounds. Sekine defeated Tsutomu Oosugi in the main event and with Nakatsu challenged SOS to another tag team match once Hercules Senga recovers from injury.

Cavalry invited Koji Iwamoto to pose with them at the end of the show. He is accepted as the team’s newest member. Sekine said if Isami Kodaka is the king of BASARA then Cavalry are The Three Musketeers!

Nakatsu was originally supposed to face Hercules Senga in the semi-main event but Senga is out of action with a jaw injury. Takumi Tsukamoto took his place. Nakatsu stayed focus and refused to shake Tsukamoto’s hand before and after the match.

BASARA “VAJRA 4 ~POMP AND CIRCUMSTANCE~”, 26/02/2016
Yokohama Radiant Hall
243 Fans – No Vacancy

1. Kazuaki Mihara, Koji Iwamoto & Gurukun Mask defeated Daichi Kazato, Hi69 & Kazuhiro Tamura when Mihara submitted Kazato with a Camel Clutch (13:53).
2. 3 Way Match: Ryu Gouma defeated Atsushi Maruyama and Rekka when Gouma pinned Maruyama with a Reverse-Style Splash (7:31).
3. FUMA & Madoka defeated Hiroshi Fukuda & SAGAT when FUMA pinned SAGAT with the HEAVY METAL ANTHEM (11:00).
4. Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Title: Shiori Asahi (c) defeated Yusuke Kubo with the Aun (15:28).
*V4 for Shiori Asahi.
5. Hercules Senga & Tsutomu Oosugi defeated Ryuichi Sekine & Ryota Nakatsu when Senga pinned Nakatsu after the PICTURES (13:58).
6. Isami Kodaka defeated Takumi Tsukamoto with the Isamuashi Zan (16:57).

During the main event both Isami Kodaka and Takumi Tsukamoto threatened to use their weapons on each other. After an early lock up Tsukamoto went out of the ring and grabbed his massive hammer. Kodaka then grabbed his samurai sword. Kyohei Wada had to tell both of them to drop their weapons and apologise to each other. Tsukamoto later used his hammer to whack Kodaka in mid-air during a Tope Suicida spot. Tsukamoto apologised to Wada afterward. Kodaka avoided the Drake Driver and felled Tsukamoto with Knee Strikes and the Isamuashi Zan. The two wrestlers paid each other compliments after the match and Kodaka was ready to close the show when Hiroshi Fukuda and SAGAT interrupted him. With Fukuda speaking on his behalf, SAGAT challenged Kodaka to a match on 13th March. Kodaka accepted.

Cavalry lost to Speed Of Sounds in the semi-main event but were quick to ask for a rematch. It was refused with SOS citing that their enthusiasm isn’t enough to convince them. Instead two single matches were booked for 3rd March: Ryota Nakatsu Vs Hercules Senga and Ryuichi Sekine Vs Tsutomu Oosugi. Unfortunately reports came out after the show that Senga injured his jaw during the match and could be out of action for a while.

When Yusuke Kubo failed to win the Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Title he was comforted by FUMA & Madoka. FUMA called him a true heavy metal samurai and asked him to join his heavy metal team. Kubo shook FUMA’s hand and grabbed a guitar. FUMA said a new metal warrior is now born and together they will take over BASARA! For the moment the group is called Kotetsu Gundan.

Fukuda isn’t a fan of FUMA’s heavy metal personality. Fukuda is more of a classic rock ‘n’ roll kind of guy. Same with SAGAT according to Fukuda. FUMA told them their long hair does not have to stop them from head banging. When FUMA went for his HEAVY METAL ANTHEM Diving Elbow Drop he yelled “I received a judgement from Lucifer!”

Fukuda & SAGAT Vs New Gen Combo and Kodaka Vs Akito were announced for the next Tavern Wrestling show held on 8th March.

BASARA “VAJRA 3 ~OSAKA WINTER CAMP DEPARTURE~”, 21/02/2016
Osaka Oyodo Community Center
258 Fans – No Vacancy

1. Atsushi Maruyama & Tsutomu Oosugi defeated Daichi Kazato & Hi69 when Oosugi pinned Kazato with the Tsuki No Ishii (11:24).
2. Kikutaro defeated Ryu Gouma with a DDT (9:13).
3. Kazuaki Mihara & Koji Iwamoto defeated Hiroshi Fukuda & SAGAT when Mihara submitted SAGAT with a Camel Clutch (11:02).
4. HUB defeated Ryota Nakatsu with the Deadly Poison HUB Air Strike (12:30).
5. FUMA & HAYATA defeated Takumi Tsukamoto & Yusuke Kubo when FUMA pinned Kubo with the HEAVY METAL ANTHEM (17:11).
6. Isami Kodaka defeated Ryuichi Sekine with the Isamuashi Zan (17:05).

It took a while for Isami Kodaka to say anything after his match with Ryuichi Sekine. Finally he said “Tough.” Sekine could only muster up enough energy to say thanks. Kodaka said BASARA is still small but it is quickly growing with a show in Osaka already under its belt. They will light a fire in Japan and they will do a rematch in Japan!

FUMA continues to preach about heavy metal. Why did his team win? Because they came out to “Painkiller” by Judas Priest. Why did he pin Yusuke Kubo? Because he has heavy metal in his soul and it makes him the best in head banging. He offered to help Kubo find his heavy metal self and join his heavy metal band like Madoka and HAYATA have. Kubo said that despite losing every match in BASARA so far he has been reborn. But he admits something is missing, his losses prove that. He has a match with Shiori Asahi coming up in March. Asahi is the current Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Champion so Kubo will challenge him for the belt! FUMA will keep an eye on that match,

Hiroshi Fukuda has learned how to sooth SAGAT’s violent behaviour enough for them to work as a team. He tried to translate his grunts for the audience. Apparently SAGAT thanked the fans for coming to the show but that’s all Fukuda could translate.

Ryu Gouma tried to get Kikutaro disqualified for using foul and abusive language. Kikutaro DDT’d him onto his statute book.

BASARA “VAJRA 2”, 05/02/2016
Saitama Wrestle Fighter Museum
108 Fans – Super No Vacancy

4. Madoka & FUMA Vs Ryuichi Sekine & Ryota Nakatsu ended in a Time Limit Draw (20:00).
5. Takumi Tsukamoto defeated Daichi Kazato with the Drake Driver (14:36).

Takumi Tsukamoto was full of praise for Daicho Kazato after the main event. He called out Isami Kodaka to talk about their upcoming match on 26th February. He said he’s been wrestling with Kodaka for four years and he’s learned a lot during that time. He is grateful for the opportunity BASARA has given him. Kodaka said he is amazed by the young wrestlers like Tsukamoto and Kazato.

BASARA’s two new tag teams went to a 20 minute draw against each other. FUMA was close to winning the match in the final seconds when he gave Ryuichi Sekine the Heavy Metal Anthem but the bell rang before he could go for the pin. Madoka also brought out a ukulele and smashed it over Sekine’s head. Madoka hasn’t completely figured out FUMA’s new obsession with heavy metal music but he promises to find his own metal music to fit in.

After the 3 Way Match Atsushi Maruyama called out Ryu Gouma for being unable to wrestle fair and square and always using weapons. He challenged Gouma to a fight and then attacked him with his Statute Book. Gouma recovered and hit the Jumping Neckbreaker. Maruyama backed off and they both agreed to settle their feud with one more 3 Way Match on 26th February.
