SUPER JAPAN “JUDGEMENT” Results

March 24, 2026

SUPER JAPAN “JUDGEMENT”, 24/03/2026
Shinjuku FACE
??? Fans – Unannounced

6. Special Single Match: Kazunari Murakami Vs Shinya Aoki ended in a No Contest (11:16).
7. Special Single Match: Yuji Nagata defeated Fuminori Abe with the Back Drop Hold (16:04).

DDT’s 29th Anniversary show wasn’t the only wrestling event named “JUDGEMENT” to take place this week. It’s alternate timeline equivalent Super Japan held its own “JUDGEMENT” today, using the original gimmick related to that name in order to determine if it should continue to exist or not. Every fan in attendance was handed a ballot to vote on whether they support more Super Japan shows in the future or if Sanshiro Takagi’s side project should be binned instead. With 258 Yes votes, only 6 No votes and 51 non-answers the judgement was clear. Super Japan will continue! It’s a good thing too because Takagi already went ahead and made future plans for the brand that would have gone to waste if the audience rejected the promotion.

One of the decisions made today was the hiring of a new advisor for the brand. Takagi has now brought Masayuki Uchida on board and will count on his experience of managing several wrestling promotions in the past. Uchida was the president of All Japan in the early 2010s then became chairman for NOAH during the second half of that decade. He also previously worked with Takagi as a director for the Bakuha Koshien spin off that DDT promoted with Atsushi Onita during the pandemic. Uchida said he is just as confused over the disappearance of those shows as anyone else. His first goal as Super Japan’s advisor is to push Yuji Nagata back to the top of the wrestling industry.

After Nagata beat Fuminori Abe in the main event, Uchida approached him with an idea to form a brilliant new tag team for the next show in Ueno Park on 27th May. Had Super Japan disbanded today, Takagi would have used the booking to put on something else as a backup plan. Instead he now gets to be part of a once in a lifetime main event. Uchida brought out CIMA to meet Nagata! CIMA explained to everyone that he is linked to Nagata because they once had a match against each other in WCW 29 years ago. It was very early in CIMA’s wrestling career and Ultimo Dragon also entrusted him to be Nagata’s weight training partner back then. Nagata agreed to be CIMA’s partner and together the two can be called WCW’s Strongest Tag Team! Facing them on 27th May will be two rivals who decided to form an alliance today. Sanshiro Takagi beat his long time enemy Poison Sawada JULIE earlier in the show then proposed they form their own tag team because Super Japan is meant to be an alternate timeline of DDT. The two later answered Nagata & CIMA’s challenge. Nagata remembers when Sawada was a trainee in New Japan so he’s interested to fight him. CIMA then tried to attack Sawada only to get stopped by Sawada’s snake magic. Takagi said now that he and Sawada are a team after being enemies for 30 years, something terrifying is bound to happen!

There were two matches that finished without a winner during today’s show. Kazunari Murakami and Shinya Aoki got into a brawl at ringside that went out of control and put the referee in danger. He ended up calling off the match when both Murakami and Aoki kept putting him in harm’s way. The 3 Way Match between Hiroshi Yamato, Gym Trainer Kotoka and Munenori Sawa turned into an impromptu workout session where all three men exhausted themselves into unconsciousness.

Kuroshio TOKYO Japan taunted Kumadori’s dancing by asking his if he even knows how to wrestle? He then baited his opponent into breakdancing so he could get the jump on him. Kuroshio then declared he would intentionally injure Kumadori so he would never dance again! Kumadori’s dance skills helped him fight back to where the two started a dance battle against each other. But Kuroshio cut it off with a surprise roll up to win the match.

DDT “ICHIKABACHIKA 2026” Results

March 11, 2026

DDT “ICHIKABACHIKA 2026”, 11/03/2026
Shinjuku FACE
??? Fans – Unannounced

0. Dark Match – Tokyo Joshi Pro Offer Match: Rika Tatsumi & Uta Takami defeated Yuki Kamifuku & Kira Summer when Tatsumi pinned Summer with the Missile Hip (10:17).
-. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Antonio Honda defeated Rika Tatsumi (c) with an Inside Cradle (6:55 pm).
*Antonio Honda becomes the 1,809th champion.
1. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Shinya Aoki, Junta Miyawaki & Viento Maligno defeated Chris Brookes, Kota Sekifuda & Hinata Kasai when Aoki pinned Kasai with the Aoki Clutc (10:05).
2. HARASHIMA & Antonio Honda defeated Jun Akiyama & Kazuki Hirata when Honda pinned Hirata after the Somato from HARASHIMA (7:34).
-. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Hisaya Imabayashi defeated Antonio Honda (c) with a Belt Strike (7:34 pm).
*Hisaya Imabayashi becomes the 1,810th champion.
3. Kazuma Sumi, Naomi Yoshimura, Ryota Nakatsu & Yuki Ishida defeated Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani, MJ Paul & Ilusion when Yoshimura pinned Ilusion with the Harai-goshi (10:12).
4. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Shishamo Power, Unagi Mask & Gota Ihashi defeated Yuki Iino, Yukio Naya & Tomomitsu Matsunaga when Shishamo pinned Matsunaga with the Fisher’s Buster (9:33).
5. KO-D Tag Team Titles: MAO & KANON (c) (w/ KIMIHIRO) defeated Danshoku Dieno & Super Sasadango Machine when KANON pinned Dieno with the Lariat (18:47).
*V4 for STRANGE LOVE CONNECTION.
6. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku & Daichi Sato defeated Yuki Ueno, To-y & Kaisei Takechi (c) when Masada pinned Takechi with the Masada No Chikara KOBU Mukimuki (18:25).
*Yuki Ueno, To-y & Kaisei Takechi fail in V3. paleyouth become the 60th KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Champions!

The new generation is on a roll, paleyouth have already become champions and they’ve done it at Kaisei Takechi’s expense! Takechi & The 37KAMIINA almost wiped out the challengers completely with a triple Topé Con Hilo. They then targeted Takeshi Masada by having Takechi & To-y Double Choke Slam him followed by Yuki Ueno landing the Frog Splash. However Yuya Koroku went ahead and took out Ueno & To-y, then Daichi Sato helped Masada bring down Takechi. Masada then got to beat Takechi for the first time by giving him the Masada No Chikara KOBU Mukimuki to win the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles!

After the match, Masada praised Takechi for growing so much and said whenever they fight each other they click so well. When the former champions made their exit, paleyouth quickly found out who their first challengers were going to be. Harimao walked out and Naomi Yoshimura said he, Ryota Nakatsu & Yuki Ishida wanted a title shot. Masada called Harimao a perfect match for paleyouth and he accepts the challenge for 22nd March at DDT’s 28th Anniversary show. Backstage Masada was happy with the recent turn of events. paleyouth was only made official a few days ago and they already won a championship and he got to avenge his previous losses to Takechi too. Meanwhile Takechi said he was frustrated over losing a second match in a row and he actually feels a little insulted by Masada’s praise for him. Ueno reminded him of his goal to wrestle in King Of DDT and also at Sumo Hall later this year. He is sure Takechi will get there.

Any hopes that Danshoku Dieno & Super Sasadango Machine had of CyberAgent exploiting their likenesses for trading cards and gacha games have gone out the window after the pair failed to win the KO-D Tag Team Titles. Instead it is Strange Love Connection that are currently in the better position to become the faces of DDT. KANON in particular got the brunt of the lewd attacks from the followers yet he figured out how to turn the tide against them. He pulled down his own costume to fight in his underwear and resist Dieno’s Raw Danshoku Claw before taking him down with the Lariat for the victory. KANON told everyone afterwards he has exposed everything about himself and has nothing left to show because he wants to become the new icon of DDT. Today he has beaten two DDT icons so now he must beat the biggest icon Ueno to become the new KO-D Openweight Champion!

The return of the Yamada Suisan pro wrestlers sets up DDT’s annual sponsored matches with the seafood company for this year. Shishamo Power & Unagi Mask teamed up with Gota Ihashi to win their match then had an announcement to make afterward. Ihashi works for the Tsukiji branch of Yamada Suisan and he met a woman there who wants to become a pro wrestler. A masked woman named Unagi Mask Woman entered the ring and did the splits to pose for everyone. However her big moment was interrupted by Chris Brookes & Antonio Honda attacking Ihashi until Super Unagi Mask came to the rescue. Honda challanged the seafood wrestlers to a match and told them that Aja Kong will be teaming with FANTÔMES DRAMATIC! The president of Yamada Suisan then had a shocking confession to make. The three masked wrestlers are all siblings who were seperated at birth! The “Unagi Brothers” must now join forces to face Kong & FANTÔMES DRAMATIC on 19th April. Ihashi complained about being left out so he was offered a chance to team with Shishamo Power on the same show.

After spending such a long time away from DDT, the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title has come back home. At least for now. Antonio Honda caused a scene after the Tokyo Joshi Pro dark match by attacking everyone with Gongitsune and winning the belt off of Rika Tatsumi. Then later in the show Honda was told by Hisaya Imabayashi that he will face YOH on 15th April. Honda said he will look forward to defending the Iron Man Title against him but then he was suddenly blindsided by Imabayashi! The GM knocked out Honda with the title and pinned him to become the champion, explaining afterward that he cannot risk losing a DDT championship to a New Japan wrestler. Imabayashi was then approached by Akito at the end of the show because a special match was being booked for 22nd March. Imabayashi must defend the title in a 1 Vs 6 Handicap Match and one of his opponents will be Minoru Suzuki! Imabayashi complained especially since Akito was making decisions involving the DDT GM without being a GM himself. Akito told him that company directors are above company general managers. Sanshiro Takagi then tried to ambush Imabayashi to win the title but Akito broke the pin and allowed Imabayashi to escape with the belt.

The Iron Man Title changes today created a bit of a problem for the upcoming schedule. The belt is meant to be on the line in a Battle Royal at TJPW’s Sumo Hall show at the end of the month. It turns out that is still going to happen, which means if Imabayashi somehow survives the DDT Anniversary show still as champion he will then get to defend the belt at Sumo Hall on a TJPW show! When Imabayashi learned about that scenario being possible, he became motivated to hold onto the title as best as he can until 29th March.

A No. 1 Contenders match for the KO-D Tag Titles was later announced for 22nd March. Chris Brookes & HARASHIMA will face Shinya Aoki & Junta Miyawaki. The winners will face MAO & KANON for the tag titles on 5th April.

A new championship has been created exclusively for a series of sponsored shows DDT will run in conjunction with the Matsui Outlet Park later this year. The first MOP Tag Team Champions will be crowned on 28th March. After that there are two other DDT x MOP shows scheduled for April where presumably a title defence or two can take place there.

Shinjuku FACE Closing Down This Year, Super Japan You’re Confusing Me

March 10, 2026

DDT “ICHIKABACHIKA 2026”, 11/03/2026
Shinjuku FACE

0. Dark Match – Tokyo Joshi Pro Offer Match: Yuki Kamifuku & Kira Summer Vs Rika Tatsumi & Uta Takami
1. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Shinya Aoki, Junta Miyawaki & Viento Maligno Vs Chris Brookes, Kota Sekifuda & Hinata Kasai
2. Jun Akiyama & Kazuki Hirata Vs HARASHIMA & Antonio Honda
3. Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani, MJ Paul & Ilusion Vs Kazuma Sumi, Naomi Yoshimura, Ryota Nakatsu & Yuki Ishida
4. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Shishamo Power, Unagi Mask & Gota Ihashi Vs Yuki Iino, Yukio Naya & Tomomitsu Matsunaga
5. KO-D Tag Team Titles: MAO & KANON (c) (w/ KIMIHIRO) Vs Danshoku Dieno & Super Sasadango Machine
6. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Yuki Ueno, To-y & Kaisei Takechi (c) Vs Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku & Daichi Sato

Rumours were swirling around yesterday when a Japanese wrestling blog Kakutolog posted a story about Shinjuku FACE possibly shutting down its doors later this year. Sadly, today the venue’s management confirmed that Shinjuku FACE will be closing down on 30th September when their fixed-term lease with the building expires. To say this is a blow for the Japanese wrestling scene is an understatement given how so many wrestling companies are based in Tokyo and have relied on Shinjuku FACE to put on shows that aren’t on the level of Korakuen Hall but are still easy to access deep in the heart of that city. If Korakuen Hall is where you go to get a heat check on a wrestling company, Shinjuku FACE is where you will experience that company’s status quo. It will have a negative effect on the CyberFight promotions for sure because of how often they’ve booked shows in there over the last 20 years.

Kota Sekifuda has been brought in to take the place of the injured Yuni in Match #1.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “GRAND PRINCESS ’26: FATE IN RYOGOKU”, 15/03/2026
Tokyo Ryogoku KFC Hall

1. Shino Suzuki & Uta Takami Vs Chika Nanase & Shion Kanzaki
2. Kaya Toribami Vs HIMAWARI
3. 4 Way Match: Rika Tatsumi Vs Raku Vs Mahiro Kiryu Vs Mifu Ashida
4. Hyper Misao Vs Kira Summer
5. Mizuki Vs Pom Harajuku
6. Miyu Yamashita & Arisu Endo Vs Toga & Ren Konatsu
7. Miu Watanabe, Yuki Kamifuku, Wakana Uehara & Suzume Vs Yuki Arai, Shoko Nakajima, Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro

The final match of Kaya Toribami in her current gimmick will be against HIMAWARI. After that Toribami will become Sakura Hattori.

BASARA “BASARA 302 ~TAKAGARI 33~”, 21/03/2026
Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center

1. Takeru Inoue Vs SAGAT
2. Daiki Shimomura Vs Masato Kamino
3. Isami Kodaka & Takato Nakano Vs Takumi Tsukamoto & Tatsuya Hanami
4. FUMA & Seiya Morohashi Vs Daichi Kazato & Ayato Yoshida
5. Battle Royal: Ryota Nakatsu Vs Ryuichi Sekine Vs Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi Vs Lil’ Kraken Vs Yasu Urano Vs Shuji Ishikawa

A little change of pace for the next BASARA show. A Battle Royal will take place and with Shuji Ishikawa taking part, the winner could be likely to get a Union MAX Title shot against him in the future. That’s the only reason I see this match happening.

SUPER JAPAN “JUDGEMENT”, 24/03/2026
Shinjuku FACE

1. 3 Way Match: Hiroshi Yamato Vs Gym Trainer Kotoka Vs Ippanjin Munenori Sawa
2. Evil Uno & Ram Kaichow Vs Shota & Marika Kobashi
3. Special 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Takashi Sasaki, Naoshi Sano & Demonio Uno Vs Brahman Shu, Brahman Kei & Mac Matsushita
4. Special Single Match: Kuroshio TOKYO Japan Vs Kumadori
5. Special Single Match: Yuji Nagata Vs Fuminori Abe
6. Special Single Match: Shinya Aoki Vs Kazunari Murakami
7. Special Single Match: Sanshiro Takagi Vs Poison Sawada JULIE

What in the hell is this lineup? We’re getting a 6-Man Tag Match between “Goro Tsurumi’s Genes” against the “Toryumon Genes”. Evil Uno is teaming up with Ram Kaichow even though there is also Demonio Uno on the show. The Gym Trainer Kotoka is back to fight the ordinary salaryman Munenori Sawa and city council wrestler Hiroshi Yamato. That’s not all, NOSAWA Rongai is now threatening to invade Super Japan with Mummy wrestlers so who know what else is going to happen here. Maybe at the end of the show the fans vote to shut the whole thing down.

GANBARE☆PRO “THERE WILL BE BLOOD 2026”, 28/03/2026
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Next Challenger Determination – Round 1: Keisuke Ishii Vs Yuya Susumu
2. Next Challenger Determination – Round 1: Shuichiro Katsumura Vs PSYCHO
3. YuuRI Vs Rin
4. Next Challenger Determination – Final: X Vs X

A mini tournament has been put together to decide who will be the next Japanese wrestler to face Mizuki Watase for the Spirit Of Ganbare World Title (he wants to defend the belt in America next month). As part of this tournament Yuya Susumu will finally gets his long awaited singles match against Keisuke Ishii. The other side of the bracket sees Shuichiro Katsumura face PSYCHO.

A big month of singles matches lies ahead for YuuRI. She has two important opponents to fight soon, the first of which is Rin (aka Rin Kadokura) as part of Rin’s road to retirement.

DDT “NO SPOILERS EVENT VOL. 4 IN UENO”, 01/04/2026
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage

1. Something With To-y & Kazuki Hirata: To-y Vs Kazuki Hirata
2. Playfulness Series Act 5: Danshoku Dieno Vs Hinata Kasai
3. DAMNATION T.A Vs Fake Daisuke Sasaki Army!: Hideki Okatani, MJ Paul & Ilusion Vs Nise Daisuke Sasaki A, Nise Daisuke Sasaki B & Deka Daisuke Sasaki
4. Special 3-Way Tag Match ~ Best Friends (Mav) Superior: MAO & KANON (w/ KIMIHIRO) Vs Yuki Ueno & Shunma Katsumata Vs Chris Brookes & HARASHIMA

A “No Spoilers” show being held on April Fool’s Day? Actually that might make it easy because nobody will be allowed to post prank results along with the real ones. By the time midnight comes it will be smooth sailing for me to post the results!

By this point Daisuke Sasaki will have started his tour of North America but while he is gone, three fakes of him are going to appear in his place. It will be up to the rest of DAMNATION T.A to deal with them.

GANBARE☆PRO “HATAAGE 13TH ANNIVERSARY – MAD MAX 2026”, 29/04/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. YuuRI Vs Utami Hayashihita
2. Ken Ohka 25th Anniversary Match: Ken Ohka & Guts Ishijima Vs Masaaki Mochizuki & Ryota Nakatsu

Friends and foes alike will be gathering together to celebrate not only Ganbare☆Pro’s 13th Anniversary but also Ken Ohka’s 25th Anniversary in wrestling as well. He recently beat Guts Ishijima for the TTT Indie Unified Openweight Title but here they will be tag partners. Masaaki Mochizuki returns to GanPro for the first time since losing the SOG Title. Ryota Nakatsu is also coming over from BASARA to take part in Ohka’s match.

The second of YuuRI’s big matches will be against Marigold’s own Utami Hayashihita!

MONDAY MAGIC “UNIVERSE MAGIC 2026” Results

March 9, 2026

MONDAY MAGIC “UNIVERSE MAGIC 2026”, 09/03/2026
Shinjuku FACE
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Takeru Inoue & Sentaro Motoshima defeated Yuki Toki & Nobuhiko Kimura when Inoue submitted Toki with a Crab Hold (8:56).
2. The 1st UNIVERSE CUP – Round 1: Sanshiro Takagi defeated Great Mummy with the Stunner (8:23).
3. The 1st UNIVERSE CUP – Round 1: Naomichi Marufuji defeated Kuroshio TOKYO Japan with the Perfect Neck Lock (9:12).
4. Takumi Iroha, Utami Hayashishita & Miyuki Takase Vs Mayu Iwatani, Mika Iwata & Mio Momono ended in a Time Limit Draw (20:00).
5. The 1st UNIVERSE CUP – Round 1: The Great Sasuke defeated Isami Kodaka with La Magistral Cradle (12:24).
6. The 1st UNIVERSE CUP – Round 1: Hayabusa defeated Yumehito Imanari with the Firebird Splash (14:06).

The first round of the inaugural UNIVERSE CUP took place, pitting eight wrestlers from eight different promotions against each other. The common ground linking almost all of the promotions together is that they are a part of the Wrestle Universe streaming service. Add in the randomness of Monday Magic and the result is a bunch of unexpected surprises in store both in and out of the tournament.

Hayabusa from ZERO1 defeated Yumehito Imanari from Ganbare☆Pro in the main event. Imanari was crushed over the loss because he was originally part of Wrestle Universe from the very beginning when it was called DDT Universe. Hayabusa will meet Naomichi Marufuji from NOAH in the semi-final. Marufuji had to deal with Kuroshio TOKYO Japan’s antics today. Even thought Kuroshio lost, he doesn’t want to go away. The Up Town wrestler asked Marufuji backstage if he can come over to NOAH? Marufuji simply told him no.

The Great Sasuke and Isami Kodaka went wild for their 1st Round match. The Michinoku Pro legend gave Kodaka a Piledriver onto the entrance ramp and also slammed him onto a pile of chairs at ringside. Kodaka almost got him back with a Brainbuster but Sasuke pinned the BASARA wrestler with La Magistral Cradle for the victory. Kodaka hopes he can come back to Monday Magic and maybe get some NOAH bookings too. Sanshiro Takagi had an adventure of his own when he had to fight not just one mummy, but two! While he fought The Great Mummy in the ring, NOSAWA Rongai brought down a second Great Mummy to add some confusion to the mix. Luckily for Takagi, Mecha Mummy showed up to help him and Takagi went on to win the match for DDT. NOSAWA swears he will get revenge on Takagi by sending his mummy wrestlers over to invade Super Japan!

MONDAY MAGIC “UNIVERSE MAGIC 2026”, 06/04/2026
Shinjuku FACE

1. The 1st UNIVERSE CUP – Semi Final: Sanshiro Takagi Vs The Great Sasuke
2. The 1st UNIVERSE CUP – Semi Final: Hayabusa Vs Naomichi Marufuji
3. Tokyo Joshi Pro Offer Match: X Vs X
4. 10-WOMAN MAGIC RUMBLE: X Vs X Vs X Vs X Vs X Vs X Vs X Vs X Vs X Vs X
3. The 1st UNIVERSE CUP – Final: X Vs X

There’s been one CyberFight promotion that has stayed away from Monday Magic but that’s all going to change next month. Tokyo Joshi Pro will finally have some involvement in the show, although it is going to be for a match they are putting together by themselves. There will also be a small Royal Rumble style match for the joshi wrestlers so maybe TJPW will start to mix in with the rest of the scene after all.

Toribami’s Mystery Trip, Kumadori Enters Super Japan, Minimo

During the week Kaya Toribami told Tokyo Joshi Pro she was going on a trip to Iga City on short notice and would record a vlog of her visit to the area. There she met Genichi Mitsuhashi, the first person to ever get a PhD for Ninja Studies in Mie University. She then spent the day training with him in his dojo. After learning some new techniques she was encouraged to visit a nearby Bishamonten shrine. When she walked inside the grounds she found a Oni mask and suddenly began to convulse after she picked it up. The footage ended there but allegedly Mitsuhashi found Toribami and sent her back to Tokyo. A short time later TJPW received a video from Mitsuhashi of Toribami falling into a trance after the convulsions and then unmasking herself before walking behind one of the shrines, leaving her mask behind…

Sanshiro Takagi will be at the show to reveal the new idol he scouted for a match at Sumo Hall.

2. Special Single Match: Yuji Nagata Vs Fuminori Abe
3. Special Single Match: Shinya Aoki Vs Kazunari Murakami
4. Special Single Match: Sanshiro Takagi Vs Poison Sawada JULIE

The next Super Japan show needs some extra flair to wow the audience into voting for it to continue existing. Kuroshio TOKYO Japan was already advertised for the show and now we know he will be fighting the O-MENZ masked dancer Kumadori! They might give everyone a dance battle along with a pro wrestling match.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “GRAND PRINCESS ’26”, 29/03/2026
Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan

1. Minimoni Debut Match: Minimoni Vs X
2. Shoko Nakajima, Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro (w/ Ninja Red, Geki Red & Go-On Red) Vs Aja Kong, Max The Impaler & Pom Harajuku

7. Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara (c) Vs Jessie McKay & Cassie Lee
8. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) Vs Yuki Arai

Training is going very well for Minimo-chan at the moment. So much so that the mascot is nailing down the details for its pro wrestling debut. Minimo has perfected its finishing move called the Drink Some Delicious Milk Pyon! Kick before moving onto weight training. Now Minimo has decided on its wrestler name. When Minimo-chan gets into the ring the mascot will become Minimo!

More PR instructions have been sent out by Super Sasadango Machine, this time it is one for Mizuki. Since her deadly Pico Pico Hammer has been stolen, she must go in search for a new legendary weapon to use against Andreza Giant Panda.

Yuni Injured, New Gen Army, Grand Princess ’26 PR Updates

March 3, 2026

DDT “D GENERATIONS 8”, 07/03/2026

4. Special Single Match: Takeshi Masada Vs Daichi Sato
5. Special Single Match: To-y Vs Hideki Okatani

Over the weekend Yuni injured his left elbow and he has since been diagnosed with a joint contusion that needs two weeks of rest in order to recover. For that reason Yuni will be missing all of the DDT shows in the first half of March starting with the next D GENERATIONS show. Mikiya Sasaki is replacing him as Ilusion’s new opponent.

Another appearance by Yuya Susumu is on the horizon. He isn’t going to leave Ganbare☆Pro until he gets his singles match with Keisuke Ishii.

Chika is coming over from Pro Wrestling Evolution.

Munetatsu Nakamura is still undergoing rehabilitation for his neck injury. It’s been decided his goal of returning to the ring this month will not happen and he will remain out of action during March. GanPro along with Nakamura’s doctor all want to ensure he is in top condition when he is ready to wrestle again.

DDT “NANIWA FIGHTERS 2026”, 08/03/2026
Osaka 176BOX

1. Naomi Yoshimura & Yuki Ishida Vs Junta Miyawaki & Antonio Honda
2. 2 Vs 3 Handicap Match: Yuki Ueno & Kazuma Sumi Vs Danshoku Dieno, Kazuki Hirata & Akito

Matsunaga is there to sub in for Yuni again. Some of the early undercard matches have been changed around too.

DDT “ICHIKABACHIKA 2026”, 11/03/2026
Shinjuku FACE

0. Dark Match – Tokyo Joshi Pro Offer Match: Yuki Kamifuku & Kira Summer Vs Rika Tatsumi & Uta Takami
1. Jun Akiyama & Kazuki Hirata Vs HARASHIMA & Antonio Honda
2. Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani, MJ Paul & Ilusion Vs Kazuma Sumi, Naomi Yoshimura, Ryota Nakatsu & Yuki Ishida
3. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Shinya Aoki, Junta Miyawaki & Viento Maligno Vs Chris Brookes, Yuni & Hinata Kasai
4. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Shishamo Power, Unagi Mask & Gota Ihashi Vs Yuki Iino, Yukio Naya & Tomomitsu Matsunaga
5. KO-D Tag Team Titles: MAO & KANON (c) (w/ KIMIHIRO) Vs Danshoku Dieno & Super Sasadango Machine
6. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Yuki Ueno, To-y & Kaisei Takechi (c) Vs Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku & Daichi Sato

A new unit is developing among the D GENERATIONS wrestlers. Takeshi Masada & Yuya Koroku decided to create a new stable focused on their age group and Daichi Sato agreed to join them. They don’t have a name at the moment so are temporarily being referred to as the New Generation Army. Since they already consist of three people they are going to fight for the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles as their first big challenge. Kaisei Takechi is itching to wrestle again sooner than scheduled so he along with Yuki Ueno & To-y are ready to defend their titles next week.

We’re approaching that time of year when DDT holds sponsored matches with the Yamada Suisan seafood company. That means the return of the masked seafood themed wrestlers Shishamo Power and Unagi Mask. The match also sees Yuki Iino return to action after he’s been away training for his American Football team.

A bonus dark match is being provided by Tokyo Joshi Pro. At the time of writing Rika Tatsumi is still the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion. Could the belt be going back home to DDT? Not if she has any say in it. Her goal as the champion is to bring the title all the way to TJPW’s Sumo Hall show at the end of the month.

DDT “JUDGEMENT 2026 ~29TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION 5 HOUR SPECIAL~”, 22/03/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Special Single Match ~ Shunma Katsumata Return Match: MAO Vs Shunma Katsumata
2. Dramatic Dream Match: KONOSUKE TAKESHITA Vs Kazuki Hirata (w/ John Robinson)
3. DDT Extreme Title: To-y (c) Vs Hideki Okatani
4. DDT Universal Title: Daisuke Sasaki (c) Vs Kazuma Sumi
5. KO-D Openweight Title: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs KANON

If it’s all been fun and games for To-y so far as the DDT Extreme Champion then Hideki Okatani is here to bring an end to it. To-y is gradually approaching the record for most Extreme Title defences in a single reign but Okatani is accusing him of padding out wins by only fighting old washed up wrestlers. To-y argues against that because some of his challengers so far have been from their own generation too.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “GRAND PRINCESS ’26”, 29/03/2026
Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan

1. Mizuki Vs Andreza Giant Panda
2. Shoko Nakajima, Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro (w/ Super Sentai) Vs Aja Kong, Max The Impaler & Pom Harajuku
3. Special Tag Match: Yuka Sakazaki & KONOSUKE TAKESHITA Vs Hyper Misao & Super Sasadango Machine
4. International Princess Title: MIRAI (c) Vs Suzume
5. Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara (c) Vs Jessie McKay & Cassie Lee
6. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) Vs Yuki Arai

Apparently TJPW went and did it. They struck a deal to have something Super Sentai related to show up at Sumo Hall and be involved with the ToJo Tokusatsu Club’s match. At least I think that is what’s happening. I’m confused because I thought the TV show just ended recently to be replaced with a similar substitute for reasons that involve the studio moving on from a copyright deadlock. I guess we’ll find out at Sumo Hall what the Super Sentai collaboration will look like. Maybe the Tokusatsu Club gets to morph into their own Super Sentai outfits before they go out and fight Pompaler & Aja Kong. Actually they should go full Kaiju Big Battel and have the ring filled with small cardboard buildings for everyone to smash and slam each other on.

The Tokusatsu Club recently completed their “fireball return” training but since fire was absolutely prohibited, they ended up doing batting practice with Tetsu Inada instead. There are updates for some of the other Super Sasadango Machine PR tasks to catch up on. The roster has spent the last few days putting up posters for the show around Tokyo. Minimo-chan has taken up weight training for its debut match. Shino Suzuki is finding more and more influencers to challenge for games of Rock Paper Scissors but has only beaten one opponent so far. She has to keep doing this until she beats two more.

Sasadango has also come up with more challenges for the wrestlers who haven’t been given any tasks yet. He has asked Shion Kanzaki to hold a street performance in the heart of Shinjuku. Meanwhile Miyu Yamashita was told to take on intensive idol training.

Soccer Vs Sumo, GanPro Young Trial, Mizuki Vs Andreza!

February 27, 2026

I’m trying to get this done before my Switch version of Pokémon Fire Red unlocks.

Aichi Kariya City Industrial Promotion Center (Aioi Hall)

1. 3 Way Match: Hyper Misao Vs Uta Takami Vs Kira Summer

3. Mizuki Vs Mahiro Kiryu
4. Toga Vs Chika Nanase
5. Miyu Yamashita & Kaya Toribami Vs Shoko Nakajima & Sara Phoenix
6. Yuki Kamifuku, Wakana Uehara & Mifu Ashida Vs Rika Tatsumi, Raku & Pom Harajuku
7. Miu Watanabe, Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro Vs Yuki Arai, Arisu Endo & Shino Suzuki

Tomorrow’s Tokyo Joshi Pro will be Sara Phoenix’s final match in Japan for this tour.

DDT “KO KO! YOKOHAMA BATTLE 2026”, 28/02/2026
Kanagawa Radiant Hall

1. Naomi Yoshimura & Hinata Kasai Vs Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Yuni

3. Takeshi Masada & Yuya Koroku Vs Daichi Kazato & Rukiya
4. Special 8-Man Tag Match: Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani, MJ Paul & Ilusion Vs Shinya Aoki, Yukio Naya, Junta Miyawaki & Kazuma Sumi
5. Special Tag Match: Yuki Ueno & Akito Vs KANON & Viento Maligno (w/ KIMIHIRO)
6. DDT Extreme Title – Soccer Vs Sumo! Mixed Martial Arts “ITACHI” Rules: To-y (c) Vs Yuki Ishida

After spending the week arguing with each other over not picking any DDT Extreme Title rules, To-y and Yuki Ishida have decided on mixing two sports together for the stipulation. The match will be Soccer Vs Sumo where only items relating to either sport are permitted to be used as weapons. Sumo is Yuki Ishida’s sport of course while To-y had a background in playing football before he became a pro wrestler.

DDT “NARAHA TOWN IMMIGRATION AMBASSADOR (UNOFFICIAL) TO-Y THANKSGIVING SEASON 3 – NARAHA TOWN COME ON!!”, 01/03/2026
Fukushima Naraha Sky Arena

1. Viento Maligno Vs Yuni

3. 3 Way Match: Danshoku Dieno Vs Kazuki Hirata Vs Gorgeous Matsuno
4. Jun Akiyama & Yuya Koroku Vs Yukio Naya & Junta Miyawaki
5. MAO & KANON (w/ KIMIHIRO) Vs Kazuma Sumi & Yuki Ishida
6. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Yuki Ueno, To-y & Akito Vs Chris Brookes, HARASHIMA & Antonio Honda

The next day To-y brings DDT back to Naraha Town where he continues his unofficial ambassador gig in the area. The show is free admission too, I think.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “PRELUDE TO GRAND PRINCESS ’26”, 07/03/2026
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. 3 Way Match: Rika Tatsumi Vs Mahiro Kiryu Vs Ren Konatsu
2. Hyper Misao & Mifu Ashida Vs Suzume & Arisu Endo
3. Kaya Toribami Vs Shion Kanzaki
4. Shoko Nakajima, Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro Vs Mizuki, Raku & Pom Harajuku
5. Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara Vs Kira Summer & Chika Nanase
6. Miu Watanabe, Toga & Uta Takami Vs Yuki Arai, HIMAWARI & Shino Suzuki

Something to keep an eye on as we continue building up towards Miu Watanabe and Yuki Arai is if there will be more damage done to Watanabe’s lower back. She is well aware of how much Arai is relying on the Scorpion Death Lock as her kill move lately.

GANBARE☆PRO “GIRLFRIEND EXPERIENCE 2026”, 07/03/2026
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Shigehiro Irie Vs Shota Kawakami
2. Yumehito Imanari Vs Sentaro Motoshima
3. YuuRI Vs Shoko Nakajima
4. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Mizuki Watase (c) Vs Takuya Wada

A trial series has been put together by Ganbare☆Pro for its young wrestlers in order to help them step up while Yuna Manase and Munetatsu Nakamura are on the shelf with injuries. Shoko Nakajima has been called in from Tokyo Joshi Pro to give YuuRI a match, Sentaro Motoshima is going to take on GanPro’s former two time champion Yumehito Imanari and Shota Kawakami is going to have to avoid getting crushed by Shigehiro Irie’s Cannonball attacks.

SUPER JAPAN “JUDGEMENT”, 24/03/2026
Shinjuku FACE

1. Special Single Match: Yuji Nagata Vs Fuminori Abe
2. Special Single Match: Shinya Aoki Vs Kazunari Murakami
3. Special Single Match: Sanshiro Takagi Vs Poison Sawada JULIE

It doesn’t matter what alternate timeline we are in, Sanshiro Takagi and Poison Sawada JULIE are still going to feud with each other. They have been enemies in DDT for a long time but it’s been 17 years since their last singles match against each other apparently. Super Japan gets the honour of reviving the matchup.

Super Japan is also pitting their ace Yuji Nagata against Fuminori Abe in a first time singles bout. They’ve already wrestled each other in two of the previous three Super Japan shows.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “GRAND PRINCESS ’26”, 29/03/2026
Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan

1. Mizuki Vs Andreza Giant Panda
2. Special Tag Match: Yuka Sakazaki & KONOSUKE TAKESHITA Vs Hyper Misao & Super Sasadango Machine
3. International Princess Title: MIRAI (c) Vs Suzume
4. Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara (c) Vs Jessie McKay & Cassie Lee
5. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) Vs Yuki Arai

Just when the mystery was getting good, the perpetrator has come out and admitted the crime. The indy wrestling outfit New Nemuro Pro Wrestling sent a video to TJPW taking the credit for stealing Mizuki’s Pico Pico Hammer while leaving behind an American flag as a red herring. New Nemuro’s most famous wrestler Andreza Giant Panda was memorably hit over the head by Mizuki with her hammer back in 2024 in a moment that went viral across the internet due to how photogenic it was. Andreza was left humiliated by what happened and Shin Nemuro felt that their reputation was tarnished over it too. Ever since that moment Andreza had been waiting on an opportunity to get his revenge. Thus Mizuki’s hammer got stolen and Andreza has challenged her to a singles match at Sumo Hall!

Wrestlers Should Be Treated Like Gacha, Judgement 2026 Updates, New Princess Title Belts

February 23, 2026

“URANO EN 3”, 24/02/2025
TOKYO SQUARE In Itabashi

1. Extreme Five Warriors Iron Man Tournament: Ikuto Hidaka Vs Ilusion
2. Extreme Five Warriors Iron Man Tournament: Yasu Urano Vs Fuminori Abe
3. Extreme Five Warriors Iron Man Tournament: Ilusion Vs Ayato Yoshida
4. Extreme Five Warriors Iron Man Tournament: Ikuto Hidaka Vs Yasu Urano
5. Extreme Five Warriors Iron Man Tournament: Fuminori Abe Vs Ayato Yoshida
6. Extreme Five Warriors Iron Man Tournament: Ilusion Vs Yasu Urano
7. Extreme Five Warriors Iron Man Tournament: Ikuto Hidaka Vs Fuminori Abe
8. Extreme Five Warriors Iron Man Tournament: Yasu Urano Vs Ayato Yoshida
9. Extreme Five Warriors Iron Man Tournament: Ilusion Vs Fuminori Abe
10. Extreme Five Warriors Iron Man Tournament: Ikuto Hidaka Vs Ayato Yoshida

Each match will have a ten minute time limit. As best as I can tell, the winner of the one night round robin will be whoever has the highest score of total falls in all of their Iron Man matches combined. Given the show consists of ten Iron Man Matches that sounds like a nightmare to keep track of for one night.

The first two “URANO EN” events that Yasu Urano put together took place last year and were both Iron Man matches with Ikuto Hidaka and Akito respectively. The matches are on Minoru Fujita’s Youtube channel under the Live archive tab. I don’t think I’m going to follow this regularly unless BASARA continues to help promote it.

BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS “VOL. 28: BIG BEAT FROM BADSVILLE”, 24/02/2026
Tokyo ARENA Shimokitazawa

1. Special Single Match: Antonio Honda Vs Miyu Yamashita

3. Special Single Match: Kota Sekifuda Vs HARASHIMA
4. Special Single Match: Chris Brookes Vs Yuta Oya

It seems that only Dark King Ueki knows who the new member of Ueki’s Magic Kingdom is. Neither Ram Kaichow nor Munetatsu Nakamura seem to know.

DDT “KO KO! YOKOHAMA BATTLE 2026”, 28/02/2026
Kanagawa Radiant Hall

1. Naomi Yoshimura & Hinata Kasai Vs Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Yuni
2. Jun Akiyama, Danshoku Dieno & Kazuki Hirata Vs Chris Brookes, HARASHIMA & Antonio Honda

4. Special 8-Man Tag Match: Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani, MJ Paul & Ilusion Vs Shinya Aoki, Yukio Naya, Junta Miyawaki & Kazuma Sumi
5. Special Tag Match: Yuki Ueno & Akito Vs KANON & Viento Maligno (w/ KIMIHIRO)
6. DDT Extreme Title: To-y (c) Vs Yuki Ishida

We’re less than a week away from the DDT Extreme Title match and To-y hasn’t come up with the stipulation yet. He and Yuki Ishida have been arguing on Twitter about it.

Viento Maligno is now here as part of Strange Love Connection.

Another new unit seems to be appearing on the horizon. Takeshi Masada & Yuya Koroku want to start a group built around the D GENERATIONS wrestlers. Does either Daichi Kazato or Rukiya want to join in?

GANBARE☆PRO “KINKI CHIHO NO ARU BASHO NI TSUITE 2026”, 01/03/2026
Osaka Hirano Community Hall

1. Sentaro Motoshima Vs Sora Fujikawa
2. Moeka Haruhi & Fairy Nihonbashi Vs Kyusei Ninja Ranmaru & Hibiscus Mii

5. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles: Yumehito Imanari & Shinichiro Tominaga (c) Vs Ken Ohka & Hiroaki Moriya

With Yuna Manase out of action, PSYCHO has been asked to fill in for her when Ganbare☆Pro heads over to Osaka.

BASARA “BASARA 301 ~UTAGE~”, 06/03/2026
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Takeru Inoue Vs Fuminori Abe
2. Ryota Nakatsu & Isami Kodaka Vs FUMA & Seiya Morohashi
3. Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Banana Senga (w/ Gouma Ryu) Vs SAGAT & Lil’ Kraken
4. Takumi Tsukamoto, Daiki Shimomura & Tatsuya Hanami Vs Takato Nakano, Masato Kamino & Yasu Urano
5. Union MAX Title – 3 Way Match: Shuji Ishikawa (c) Vs Daichi Kazato Vs Tsutomu Oosugi

A few returning faces will be at BASARA next month. Tatsuya Hanami had fun the last time he was here before the new year, it’s been a while since Gouma Ryu showed his face and Seiya Morohashi is back as well.

DDT “ICHIKABACHIKA 2026”, 11/03/2026
Shinjuku FACE

1. KO-D Tag Team Titles: MAO & KANON (c) (w/ KIMIHIRO) Vs Danshoku Dieno & Super Sasadango Machine

Over in New Japan recently Yota Tsuji ruffled some feathers by criticizing the company’s owners Bushiroad for treating the wrestlers as nothing more than just content for trading card and gacha games. Well Super Sasadango Machine wishes CyberAgent would be that way for the likes of him and Danshoku Dieno! They need to make a convincing argument so they’ve challenged MAO & KANON for the KO-D Tag Team Titles. If they win the belts they hope it will raise their power within DDT to start making some business demands and turn the company towards the TGC and gacha industries.

DDT “JUDGEMENT 2026 ~29TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION 5 HOUR SPECIAL~”, 22/03/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Shunma Katsumata Return Match: MAO Vs Shunma Katsumata
2. Dramatic Dream Match: KONOSUKE TAKESHITA Vs Kazuki Hirata (w/ John Robinson)
3. DDT Universal Title: Daisuke Sasaki (c) Vs Kazuma Sumi
4. KO-D Openweight Title: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs KANON

This year’s D GENERATIONS CUP winner Kazuma Sumi has earned himself a DDT Universal Title shot. Daisuke Sasaki congratulated him with a kick to the balls. Sounds like something he would do.

It’s not Magnum TOKYO but we’re one step away from it. Kazuki Hirata is getting John Robinson, the DJ behind “TOKYO GO!” to perform the song live for his entrance!

Shunma Katsumata wants MAO to be his first opponent for his big return match. It’s a match MAO has wanted too because one of the reasons he left The 37KAMIINA was to become Katsumata’s opponent rather than his teammate.

His match hasn’t been announced yet but DDT’s newest signing Masami Inahata will debut on this show.

BASARA “BASARA 303 ~UTAGE~”, 27/03/2026
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Iron Fist Tag Team Titles: Takumi Tsukamoto & Daiki Shimomura (c) Vs Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino

The team of Takumi Tsukamoto & Daiki Shimomura are taking on all comers looking to become the next Iron Fist Tag Team Champions. Next up for them is Aijin Tag, one of BASARA’s most established teams. Takato Nakano thinks Masato Kamino hasn’t been taking wrestling seriously lately so they need to lock in to become the champs again.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “GRAND PRINCESS ’26”, 29/03/2026
Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan

1. Special Tag Match: Yuka Sakazaki & KONOSUKE TAKESHITA Vs Hyper Misao & Super Sasadango Machine

3. Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara (c) Vs Jessie McKay & Cassie Lee
4. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) Vs Yuki Arai

All three championships in Tokyo Joshi Pro are in the process of receiving new belt designs. The next generation belts for the Princess Of Princess Title, the Princess Tag Team Titles and the International Princess Title will all debut at Sumo Hall. It will be the third belt for the Princess Title while the other two championships are both getting redesigned for the first time.

DDT “CHANGE AGE 2026 ~TOBIKIRI ZENKAI POWER~”, 05/04/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. KO-D Tag Team Titles: MAO & KANON (c) (w/ KIMIHIRO) Vs X & X

Some upcoming title matches are being planned for April because DDT is holding two Korakuen Hall shows within a fortnight that month before King Of DDT kicks off in May. The KO-D Tag Titles will be defended on the first Korakuen show.

DDT “DREAM LIGHTS ~HOW DO YOU LIKE DDT WEDNESDAY~”, 15/04/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. DDT Extreme Title: To-y (c) Vs X
2. KO-D Openweight Title: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs X

Then the second Korakuen gets a KO-D Openweight Title match as well as an Extreme Title match.

A surprise attack from To-y led to him and Minoru Suzuki brawling around ringside during the main event. Suzuki got the advantage by Heel Hooking To-y over near the entrances. To-y tried fighting back with Chops as well as the Kojima Wonderland. But Suzuki got back in control, fired himself up in a To-y like manner and won with the Gotch-Style Piledriver. After the match Suzuki had something to say to To-y and the rest of The 37KAMIINA. He likes saunas too! When Suzuki left the ring, To-y admitted to everyone he was scared of fighting him but also discovered it was exciting too. He wants to go crazy but couldn’t because something else crazy was about to happen in the surprise bonus main event!

Shunma Katsumata then got into the ring. He had spent the entire show playing multiple roles from event producer to ring announcer. Now after eight months since his last match, he was going to wrestle again! The surprise match was a three minute exhibition between Katsumata and Yuki Ueno. It ended in a tie and Katsumata told everyone today has been the most tiring day of his life. However he is now in great condition and will have his official return match from injury on 22nd March!

Ueno earlier found himself in what was pretty much a 1 Vs 4 match. His opponent was Pokotan but the mascot was accompanied with three DDT wrestlers taking up their own sauna gimmicks: Chris Bathooks (Chris Brookes), Naya Tonttu (Yukio Naya) & Sauna Stones・Den (Yuki Ishida). Pokotan lost its head during the match and one of the other wrestlers would put it on to take its place in the match. Ueno took everyone’s moves until the original Pokotan got its head back. Ueno wiped out the others with a Plancha and then hit a Frog Splash onto Pokotan while using its head for extra impact to get the win.

Hinata Kasai got to go ten minutes with Shinya Aoki. Whether or not that can be seen as valuable experience or an excuse to get stretched apart is for him to figure out. While Kasai got to get some offence in, Aoki was firmly in control for much of the match and he got Kasai with the Aoki Clutch to get the three count. Aoki said Kasai gave it his all and that was the reason why Aoki couldn’t end the match as soon as he wanted to. He’s happy with Kasai’s performance and looks forward to what’s to come for the rookie. Kasai called himself weak and said his entire body is in pain but he was able to resist the pain in order to fight Aoki with all that he’s got. He will treasure this match and will definitely beat Aoki some day, even if it takes a few years to get there.

Something Katsumata wasn’t able to do today was perform with NωA Jr. so Daichi Sato was supposed to take his place. Sato is out injured so Yuya Koroku ended up filling his spot instead. Meanwhile The Brahman Brothers had a new ally in the blue form of Brahman Sasaki. He joined in their shenanigans of throwing buckets of water at everyone and spewing mysterious goo out of his mouth. However NωA Jr. ended up doing something similar by drooling what was described as melted chocolate from their mouths onto the Brahmans. Things ended up backfiring for Koroku, Yuni & Kazuma Sumi with missed attacks that ended with powder being thrown into their faces. From there the Brahmans trapped Yuni in the Gotai Fumanzoku double pin for the victory. It took until after the match for Brahman Shu & Brahman Kei to figure out that NωA Jr. used melted chocolate because today is Valentine’s Day.

While the real Konosuke Takeshita is busy wrestling over in Australia, Shin Konosuke Takeshita made their big return a year after their previous appearance on this series. Kazuki Hirata was impressed with Shin Takeshita’s world class ability. Danshoku Dieno was fixated on fighting ShunMAO Katsumata and Koju Takeda joined in on his lewd spots. Shin Takeshita hit the Takeshita Line but couldn’t get over the ropes to do a Topé. Instead ShunMAO & Takeshi Masada used a spinning chair to help Shin Takeshita give Hirata the Raging Fire. Hirata kicked out much to everyone’s surprise but was then thrown into the Double Hell Gate that was Dieno & Takeda’s rear ends. ShunMAO then did the Totonou Splash onto Hirata and Shin Takeshita finished him off with the Wagamama.

Akito rolled back the clock and wrestled his match as a “Young Boy”, wearing the plain black trunks and using a more basic moveset. His match with Rukiya only lasted five minutes because that was the time limit allowed but Katsumata decided to give them a restart in order to determine a winner. Rukiya got the best of Akito here after a series of countered cradles ended with Rukiya getting the pin.

Before the show began, a press conference was held for the upcoming D GENERATIONS CUP final between Kazuma Sumi and Takeshi Masada. Sumi has thought about this match a lot but his thoughts are just him surpassing Masada to win the tournament. He thinks Masada is amazing but he is just as amazing too. Masada (accompanied by Bunbun) appreciated being called an amazing wrestler and competed in this year’s DGC tournament to get more fans to watch it. He wants as much support he can get to win and get the DDT Universal Title shot against Daisuke Sasaki. The two were asked what were their favorite matches in the tournament? Sumi’s answer was his match against Daichi Sato because they punched and kicked each other as hard as they could. Masada chose his two matches with Koroku because they left a lasting impression on him he will never forget. They were then asked about getting a Universal Title match. Sumi said he would like to challenge for that title for the first time and his goal is to become a top Junior Heavyweight wrestler. Masada feels uneasy because he had two previous title shots that both ended in failure. But if he wins it he wants to express what it’s like to be the Universal Champion in his own way.
