There was an expectation from Tokyo Joshi Pro that someone will want to be added to the Battle Royal and their suspicion was proved correct. Ram Kaichow is entering the match and TJPW is also anticipating she will together a plan to win the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title before the match even begins, just like the last time she was here.

DDT “DRAMATIC INFINITY 2025 ~3 HOUR SPECIAL~”, 28/09/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

After the events of Monday, Hirata decided to nominate his “eternal rival” Yoshihiko as his mandatory KO-D Title challenger for the end of the month. Also added to the card is the DDT debut of Evil Uno from AEW. Is Danshoku Dieno a good fit for The Dark Order? Is Uno prepared for how hard Jun Akiyama & HARASHIMA are going to hit him?

GANBARE☆PRO “LES AMANTS DU PONT-NEUF 2025” Results

September 16, 2025

GANBARE☆PRO “LES AMANTS DU PONT-NEUF 2025”, 15/09/2025
Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center
149 Fans

1. Shinichiro Tominaga defeated Sentaro Motoshima with (9:09).
2. Moeka Haruhi & Makoto defeated YuuRI & Misa Kagura when Haruhi submitted Kagura ith the 79.5MHz 2.0 (9:36)
3. Takumi Tsukamoto & Takeru Inoue defeated Mizuki Watase & Shota Kawakami when Tsukamoto pinned Kawakami with the Brainbuster Slam (13:06).
4. Tyson Maeguchi defeated Munetatsu Nakamura with a Buzzsaw Kick (13:06).
5. GanPro Vs FREEDOMS: Takashi Sasaki, Toru Sugiura & Dragon Libre defeated Yumehito Imanari, Keisuke Ishii & Yuna Manase when Sasaki pinned Manase with a Lariat (15:21).
6. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title Next Challenger Decision Match: Shuichiro Katsumura defeated Ken Ohka by Referee Stoppage with the Triple Three 3 Lock (23:52).

There was a dispute over who the No. 1 Contender for the Spirit Of Ganbare World Title but now it is clear. Masaaki Mochizuki’s original nominee Shuichiro Katsumura beat Ken Ohka to earn the title shot. The ref was forced to stop the match when Ohka was trapped in the Triple Three 3 Lock but wouldn’t (or couldn’t) give up. After the match Katsumura spoke about how much he’s looked up to Ohka for the last ten years because Ohka protected Ganbare☆Pro from all invaders. In that time more people joined GanPro and became strong enough to do their part in protecting the company. Ohka was fired up from the speech and promised to continue leading GanPro for as long as there are people who will follow him.

Emotions over the GanPro Vs FREEDOMS feud are getting even hotter. The match didn’t even start when the two teams started fighting each other. The FREEDOMS side won thanks to Takashi Sasaki pinning Yuna Manase with a Lariat but the fighting continued after the match had ended. When things started looking too dangerous, YuuRI showed up to protect Manase from Sasaki. His taunting also made her mad enough to spray him in the face. He still declared while leaving that FREEDOMS had successfully taken over the GanPro ring.

GanPro also have attacks from BASARA to worry about. When Takumi Tsukamoto’s team won in Match #3, Mizuki Watase held up his Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Title at him and said he wants to defend the belts against BASARA wrestlers. He then said he and Shigehiro Irie can face Tsukamoto and Ryota Nakatsu for their next title defence on 27th September! Tsukamoto liked the idea but did not agree to it straight away because he will need to check with Nakatsu first.

When the show had ended, YuuRI & Manase went back to the ring to rally the fans. YuuRI said she doesn’t want to be limited to the Ganbre☆Joshi division because she wants to join the fight against FREEDOMS! Sasaki and his team overheard her and came up with an idea. Both promotions are busy running their own shows on 20th September but Shin-Kiba 1st RING recently informed him that they have a slot vacant for 16th October. So let’s have the two sides take part in a full scale battle that day! Every match will be FREEDOMS Vs GanPro and Sasaki can even organize it to have the FREEDOMS fans fill up one side of the building and the GanPro fans fill up the other side. Michiyoshi Mishima agreed to the idea but started having doubts when Sasaki told him the FREEDOMS side will include Jun Kasai and Mammoth Sasaki. However Manase and YuuRI are both excited to finally join the fight.

Moeka Haruhi announced she will miss the next several shows to rest and take care of her physical health.

Yuu’s Last DDT & TJPW Matches, FUMA’s Homecoming Show

September 9, 2025

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. 3 Way Match: Miu Watanabe Vs Mahiro Kiryu Vs Toga
2. Raku & Pom Harajuku (w/ Akabe) Vs HIMAWARI & Ren Konatsu (w/ Kappa Green)
3. Kaya Toribami Vs Uta Takami
4. Hyper Misao Vs Chika Nanase
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 Sunday’s second show Wakana Uehara had three of her teeth broken after taking the Kingslayer knee strike from Hyper Misao. She will be unable to wrestle on this Saturday’s show so while she is gone to get her teeth fixed, Misao will now face Chika Nanase instead. The match Nanase was originally booked for has been changed to a 3 Way Match without her.

DDT “KIRANAH BBQ ROJO PRO WRESTLING 2025 ~ MEAT! BEER! HARVEST FESTIVAL!~”, 17/09/2025
Tokyo Kiranah Garden Toyosu

1. Falls Count Anywhere 5 Way Tag Match: Yukio Naya & Yuya Koroku Vs MAO & KANON (w/ KIMIHIRO) Vs Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada Vs Danshoku Dieno & Kazuki Hirata Vs Yuki Ueno & Kazuma Sumi Vs Chihiro Hashimoto & Yuu

An extra team has been added to the BBQ Pro Wrestling match. Yuu will be retiring at the end of the year but before she does she wants to take part in one of DDT’s Falls Count Anywhere matches. A deal was made and Sendai Girls are sending over Team 200kg for the match, so Yuu will have Chihiro Hashimoto by her side!

DDT “OCHANOKO FESTIVAL”, 21/09/2025

5. Special Single Match: Yukio Naya Vs Yuya Koroku
6. Special Tag Team Match: Kazuki Hirata & Antonio Honda Vs Danshoku Dieno & Akito

The match placement for the card has not been decided yet other than the main event. Kazuki Hirata now has some backup in the form of Danshoku Dieno and Antonio Honda. Will Akito defend him from wrestlers cashing in their title shots too?

The current Right To Challenge Arm Cover holders are Yuki Ishida (Green), Hideki Okatani (Blue) and Yuki Iino (Red). So far Hirata has been finding different ways to avoid having to defend his KO-D Openweight Title against wrestlers cashing in their title shots. However by the time this show happens his challenger for Korakuen Hall at the end of the month will have been decided.

DDT “DRAMATIC EXPO 2025”, 23/09/2025
Osaka Namba SkyO Convention Hall

1. Hideki Okatani Vs Hinata Kasai
2. Ilusion & MJ Paul Vs Naomi Yoshimura & Yuki Ishida

7. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Yuki Iino & Yukio Naya (c) Vs To-y & Yuya Koroku

The different ways to celebrate on this show because Jun Akiyama celebrates the 33rd Anniversary of his debut match this month. The show is also happening on KANON’s birthday!

Gunma Kanra Junior High School Gymnasium

5. Isami Kodaka & Daiki Shimomura Vs Takumi Tsukamoto & Yasu Urano
6. FUMA & Ryuichi Sekine Vs Masato Tanaka & Daisuke Sekimoto

It’s that time of the year when BASARA goes over to FUMA’s neck of the woods. The annual Gunma show includes Ryuichi Sekine this time as Hyakusho Ikki face the strong duo of Masato Tanaka & Daisuke Sekimoto! A few other guests will be there like MAZADA. Ryota Hama and Kotaro Nasu.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “ADDITIONAL ATTACK ’25”, 18/10/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Princess Tag Team Titles: Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao (c) Vs Yuna Manase & Toga

The first team up of Yuna Manase & Toga has gone so well that they both want to challenge for the Princess Tag Team Titles! They will be the next in line to challenge for the belts after the Kyoraku Kyomei Vs Ober Eats title match happens at “WRESTLE PRINCESS VI”. Manase will be making other appearances on Tokyo Joshi Pro during the month of October to build up to this match.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW INSPIRATION”, 19/11/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Shoko Nakajima & Miyu Yamashita Vs Yuu & Yuki Kamifuku

As mentioned above, Yuu will be retiring from pro wrestling at the end of the year. She started her career with TJPW in 2016 but left the company to go freelance in 2018. She never returned to TJPW but decided she should make one more appearance in the promotion before she calls it quits. Her one night only return puts her in a match with three wrestlers who all mean a lot to her for one reason or another: Shoko Nakajima, Miyu Yamashita and Yuki Kamifuku.

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

September 5, 2025

DDT “D GENERATIONS 6 ~DDT MEET & GREET & FIGHT SEPTEMBER~”, 06/09/2025
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage

1. Six Major Single Match I: Munetatsu Nakamura Vs Hinata Kasai
2. Six Major Single Match II: Ilusion Vs Rukiya
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
4. Yuki Iino, Yukio Naya & Jun Akiyama Vs Yuki Ueno, To-y & Yuya Koroku
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
2. Hideki Okatani, Ilusion & MJ Paul Vs To-y, Yuya Koroku & Kazuma Sumi
3. Special Single Match: Shinya Aoki Vs Takeshi Masada
4. Our LariPro ’25: HARASHIMA, Keisuke Ishii & MAO Vs Yuki Ueno, Toru Owashi & Tomomitsu Matsunaga
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)
2. Kaya Toribami Vs Uta Takami
3. Hyper Misao Vs Wakana Uehara
4. Miu Watanabe & Toga Vs Mahiro Kiryu & Chika Nanase
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.

DDT “SUMIRE SEPTEMBER LOVE 2025”, 14/09/2025
Hokkaido Sapporo Sun Plaza

1. MJ Paul Vs Kazuma Sumi
2. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Yuki Iino, Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Ryuto Vs Tomoya, Yuya Koroku & Hinata Kasai
3. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Kazusada Higuchi, Yukio Naya & Yuki Ishida Vs Jun Akiyama, Noriyuki Yoshida & Daichi Sato
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
2. Special 6-Man Tag Match: To-y, Tomoya & Noriyuki Yoshida Vs Yukio Naya, Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Hinata Kasai
3. Sapporo Specialty Trial Of Two Single Matches Again – Round 2!: Akito Vs Kazuki Hirata
4. Special Tag Match: MAO & KANON Vs HARASHIMA & Yuya Koroku
5. Special Single Match: Kazusada Higuchi Vs Daichi Sato
6. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Yuki Iino, Yuki Ueno & Yuki Ishida Vs Jun Akiyama, Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada

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.

BASARA’s tag team tournament hasn’t really followed a solid schedule for the last while.

4. Daichi Kazato 15th Anniversary Match: Guts Ishijima defeated Daichi Kazato with the Facebuster (11:09).
5. 4 Vs 4 Elimination Match: Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi, Masato Kamino, Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga defeated Ryota Nakatsu, Ryuichi Sekine, FUMA & Takumi Tsukamoto (25:51).
5a. Takumi Tsukamoto eliminated Masato Kamino by Ring Out (12:44).
5b. Banana Senga eliminated Ryuichi Sekine with a Jackknife Pin (15:20).
5c. FUMA eliminated Banana Senga with a Flying Armbar (16:38).
5d. FUMA eliminated Tsutomu Oosugi by Ring Out (18:01).
5e. Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi eliminated FUMA by Ring Out (18:39).
5f. Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi eliminated Ryota Nakatsu by Ring Out (24:21).
5g. Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi eliminated Takumi Tsukamoto with the Perfect Plex (25:51).

Even with having Speed Of Sounds and a masked Masato Kamino on his team, Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi wound up in a 3-Vs-1 situation in the Elimination Tag match. But through the skin of his teeth he was able to fight against the odds and become the sole survivor of the main event. After the match he explained Kamino wrestled in a mask because he was supposed to be Body Slam Machine but WizRYU needs to give him some fine tuning. Hiroshi then said on 31st October he will be the one wearing the Union MAX Champion! Backstage Ryota Nakatsu recognized Hiroshi as the “strongest foreigner” which means as a Japanese wrestler he cannot afford to lose the title to him. Also BASARA has recently rejoined Wrestle Universe with this month’s shows being added to the service so Nakatsu hopes new fans will get hooked if they give BASARA a try.

It’s been years since Daichi Kazato and Guts Ishijima have seen each other. So long in fact that when Ishijima saw what Kazato is like now, he remarked that he is nothing like he was as a high school student. At the start of the show Kazato explained his history with Ishijima to the audience. He was a high school student doing backyard wrestling when Ishijima found him and invited him to train over the summer. One of the things Kazato learned was a Dropkick that is so dangerous he was banned from using it. So today he was going to unban the move! During the match Ishijima was confused by Kazato’s wrestling style which included several moves backfiring. But Kazato’s unusual style made Ishijima more tired than a usual wrestling match and while that did give Kazato the advantage for a while, Ishijima ended up beating him. Afterwards Kazato said the match really brought him back to his routes and he would love to team with Ishijima sometime.

The rookie Takeru Inoue earned his first victory by beating Shota Kawakami and he did it all by himself!

The next Iron Fist Tag Tournament will be held later in the year. The teams entering are Ryota Nakatsu & Daichi Kazato, Aijin Tag, Hyakusho Ikki, Daiki Shimomura & Lil’ Kraken, Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Tsutomu Oosugi, Isami Kodaka & Takumi Tsukamoto, Takeru Inoue & Tomoki Hatano and Naka Shuma & Kyu Mogami.

2. Princess Of Princess Title: Mizuki (c) Vs Miu Watanabe

A second chance has also been given to Ober Eats because they are going to challenge Kyoraku Kyomei for the Princess Tag Team Titles again. Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao were victorious when the two teams clashed in Las Vegas this past April but Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara have grown as a tag team since then. Uehara even has a pinfall win over Misao which is what got Ober Eats the rematch.

Priscilla Kelly returns to Tokyo Joshi Pro on this show for the first time since 2018.

Super Japan Continues, Is Hiroshi Too Scary for Nakatsu?

August 21, 2025

Heads up but I will be travelling over the next few days to see some wrestling in London, which includes “FORBIDDEN DOOR”. However it is kind of a light weekend of shows within the DDT circle so there should not be any delay in getting results and writing a report for the Tokyo Princess Cup semi finals on Saturday. I might be able to at post results of tomorrow’s Baka Gaijin + Friends show in the Philippines too. If not then that will be saved for the next DDT Around The World article at the end of the month.

GANBARE☆PRO “MIZUKI WATASE 10TH ANNIVERSARY – IT’S A SUMMER FILM 2025”, 26/08/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Yuna Manase & YuuRI Vs Moeka Haruhi & Hanako Nakamori
2. Keisuke Ishii, Shigehiro Irie & Takuya Wada Vs Fuminori Abe, MAO & Tyson Maeguchi
3. Sentaro Motoshima Debut Match: Munetatsu Nakamura, Shota Kawakami & Sentaro Motoshima Vs Rukiya, Kazumasa Yoshida & Takeru Inoue

6. Mizuki Watase 10th Anniversary Match – Fluorescent Lighttube Death Match: Mizuki Watase Vs Jun Kasai

An injury to Tomoya Hirata has taken him off the show. Takashi Sasaki will be taking his place in the Ganbare☆Pro Vs FREEDOMS match. Which he should have been part of in the first place because he’s been a frontal figure of this rivalry from the start.

BASARA “BASARA 287 ~TAKAGARI 29~”, 31/08/2025
Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center

1. Takeru Inoue Vs Shota Kawakami
2. Daichi Kazato 15th Anniversary Match: Daichi Kazato Vs X
3. Isami Kodaka & Keisuke Ishii Vs Lil’ Kraken & Munetatsu Nakamura
4. 4 Way Match: SAGAT Vs Daiki Shimomura Vs Takato Nakano Vs Yasu Urano
5. 4 Vs 4 Elimination Match: Ryota Nakatsu, Ryuichi Sekine, FUMA & Takumi Tsukamoto Vs Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi, Masato Kamino, Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga

BASARA has a path set towards Halloween for their next big Union MAX Title match. Ryota Nakatsu says he isn’t scared of defending the title against anybody but Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi thinks the champion has been ducking him. Hiroshi has recently formed a quartet with Speed Of Sounds and Gouma Ryu called WizRYU but Ryu isn’t a guy you can rely on for an Elimination Match so Masato Kamino is taking part instead. Nakatsu is relying on Hyakusho Ikki and Takumi Tsukamoto to back him up in the meantime.

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

1. Iron Fist Tag Team Titles: Kengo Mashimo & Ayumu Honda (c) Vs SAGAT & Minoru Fujita

Two members of the Super Family are challenging for the Iron Fist Tag Team Titles because SAGAT is already fed up with Kengo Mashimo & Ayumu Honda invading BASARA. He called upon Minoru Fujita to be his partner.

SUPER JAPAN “COME AGAIN 2025”, 14/10/2025
Shinjuku FACE

0. Exhibition Match: Sanshiro Takagi Vs Munenori Sawa
1. Special Single Match: Yuji Nagata Vs Shinya Aoki

So there wasn’t actually plans for Super Japan to last past the first show but Sanshiro Takagi was happy enough with how the launch did to run another event under the name. Yuji Nagata is still his pick to be the ace and he’ll get a far more serious match this time because his opponent is Shinya Aoki! There is a little bit of history here because Aoki defeated Yuji’s brother Katsuhiko Nagata in the DREAM Middleweight Grand Prix back in 2008.

Takagi himself is confident he can make a full return to the ring by the end of the year. However he isn’t sure if he can make it back in time for November’s Sumo Hall show. He also is only currently cleared by his doctor to do light exercises. With that being said, Takagi wants to shake off some ring rust so he will take part in an Exhibition Match with his old tag team partner Munenori Sawa. The bout is only scheduled to have a five minute time limit but Sawa has told Takagi he wants the two of them to go as wild as they can and cause some trouble!

MIKAMI and DJ Nira will be on the show.

BASARA “BASARA 291 ~KOO~”, 31/10/2025
Shinjuku FACE

1. Union MAX Title: Ryota Nakatsu (c) Vs Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi

Nakatsu has successfully defended the MAX Title against Hiroshi one time before back in February 2022. That was Hiroshi’s second time challenging for the belt. The other time was when it was revived to be used as BASARA’s top championship all the way back on Christmas Day of 2016.

BASARA “BASARA 286 ~UTAGE AOI – SOUEN~” Results

August 20, 2025

BASARA “BASARA 286 ~UTAGE AOI – SOUEN~”, 20/08/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Takumi Tsukamoto defeated Takeru Inoue with the Brainbuster Slam (10:14).
2. Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi, Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga (w/ Gouma Ryu) defeated Takato Nakano, Masato Kamino & Lil’ Kraken when Hiroshi pinned Kraken with the Perfect Plex (12:04).
3. SAGAT Vs Ayumu Honda ended in a Double Countout (15:03).
4. FUMA & Ryuichi Sekine defeated Fuminori Abe & Daiki Shimomura when Sekine submitted Shimomura with the Let’s Combine (10:02).
5. Union MAX Title: Ryota Nakatsu (c) defeated Daichi Kazato with a Forward Rolling Cradle (16:53).
*V3 for Ryota Nakatsu.

Out of all the times Ryota Nakatsu had a championship match, this one was probably the most unusual. Daichi Kazato brought along several long rubber straps to either use as weapons against Nakatsu or as something to slingshot himself at Nakatsu. The straps limited the Union MAX Champion from using a lot of his regular moveset but when they were eventually taken out of the picture, he countered a roll up from Kazato into one of his own to win the match. Nakatsu asked the fans after the match if they noticed he couldn’t do any Zero Fighter Kicks, German Suplexes or V Sliders because of Kazato’s plan. They still had an exciting match though and he called Kazato the craziest guy.

With today’s victory Nakatsu said he now has nothing to fear when it comes to defending the MAX Title. Suddenly Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi’s music played and Hiroshi was carried down to the ring by his fellow WizRYU members Gouma Ryu and Speed Of Sounds. He said he knows Nakatsu all too well and asked if he was scared of him? He knows the last person Nakatsu wants to be challenged by is “Mr. Perfect” Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi! The champ admits Hiroshi can be scary but he isn’t afraid of him so he accepts the challenge. Hiroshi then tried to attack him but Kazato suddenly came to Nakatsu’s rescue! Nakatsu appreciated it so much that he decided he and Kazato should team up together. Backstage Hiroshi announced his MAX Title challenge will happen on 31st October.

Isami Kodaka missed the show due to illness. He was replaced by Fuminori Abe in Match #4.

Match #3 ended in a Double Countout after SAGAT lost his temper and threw Ayumu Honda into the audience. He then purposely prevented Honda from making it back to the ring. As soon as the match ended, SAGAT demanded an Iron Fist Tag Team Titles shot with Minoru Fujita as his partner because the Super Family are fed up with Honda and Kengo Mashimo. Hiroshi on Honda’s behalf accepted the challenge and said the match will happen on 17th September. He thinks Mashimo will be available on that date.
