Tomorrow is the last preliminary matches for this month’s KO-D Openweight Title match and DDT Universal Title match. It is the last chance for Chris Brookes and Masahiro Takanashi to test each other out. Same goes for Yuki Ueno and Minoru Suzuki.

DDT “OWARI WARS 2025”, 29/03/2025
Aichi Chunichi Hall & Conference

1. Special Single Match: Jun Akiyama Vs Antonio Honda
2. Special Tag Match: Minoru Suzuki & Akito Vs Shinya Aoki & Keigo Nakamura

Two tag teams here that can eventually be established as potential challengers for the KO-D Tag Team Titles if they want it. Suzuki & Akito will be teaming up again here against the emerging teacher/student duo of Shinya Aoki & Keigo Nakamura.

Yasu Urano will be on the show.

DDT “D GENERATIONS 1”, 08/04/2025
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage

1. Munetatsu Nakamura & Ali Najima Vs Takeshi Masada & Yuki Ishida
2. Oji Shiiba Vs Yuni
3. Special Tag Match: Soma Takao & Shota Vs Yuya Koroku & Kazuma Sumi
4. Special Single Match: Daichi Kazato Vs Keigo Nakamura
5. Special Single Match: Shigehiro Irie Vs Daichi Sato
6. Special Single Match: Keisuke Ishii Vs To-y

Enough time has passed for DDT to try running another series of shows for young wrestlers again. They’re sticking with the D GENERATIONS branding and looking at the card I can see representatives from DDTeeeen!!, DNA and Young Communication too. To-y has been the standout of the current crop so he takes on Keisuke Ishii, who was seen in a similar position to him more than a decade ago. Two days after Daichi Sato becomes an official member of DDT he faces Shigehiro Irie, a former heavyweight main eventer for the company.

There’s a couple other guests too. Daichi Kazato is coming over from BASARA and the show gives ROMANCE DAWN another chance to team together. Oji Shiiba is a former Dragongate wrestler who has spent the 2020s roaming around the indies. Ali Najima is a new wrestler from Sportiva Entertainment who only debuted last year.

DDT “DDT GOES LAS VEGAS!”, 18/04/2025
Pearl Theater At Palms Casino Resort, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA

1. Special Single Match: Antonio Honda Vs Santana Jackson
2. Special Single Match: Shinya Aoki Vs Timothy Thatcher

Add another name to the lineup because Minoru Suzuki will be at the Las Vegas DDT show!

They Will Get Along Because They’re Both From Saitama, Hanami KING OF DRUNK, Updates For Las Vegas Shows

BASARA “BASARA 273 ~UTAGE AOI – SOUEN~”, 14/03/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Turnabout Pro Wrestling Trial: Takeru Inoue Vs Gouma Ryu Vs Banana Senga

The next few BASARA shows will have matches building up the upcoming Iron Fist Tag Team Titles match scheduled for April. Here FUMA faces Daiki Shimomura one on one.

Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center

1. Shota Kawakami Vs Shota Kofuji

5. Keisuke Ishii, Hagane Shinno & Choun-Shiryu Vs Shuichiro Katsumura, Yuki Kanzaki & Munetatsu Nakamura
6. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Yumehito Imanari (c) Vs Fuminori Abe

One more challenge is in Yumehito Imanari’s way before he gets to headline a Korakuen Hall show as the Spirit Of Ganbare World Champion. The man standing in his way is Fuminori Abe. Chances are somebody on the card will be the one to approach the champion at the end of the show to make the Korakuen challenge. We’re probably going to hear who Ken Ohka’s mystery opponent is going to be too.

DDT “NANIWA FIGHTER 2025”, 23/03/2025
Osaka City Miyakojima Community Center

1. Danshoku Dieno & Antonio Honda Vs Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata
2. The 37KAMIINA Vs Harimao!: MAO & Shunma Katsumata Vs Kazusada Higuchi & Yuki Ishida
3. Chris Brookes, Masahiro Takanashi & Takeshi Masada Vs Yuya Koroku, HARASHIMA & Akito

The main event is a preview for Koroku’s KO-D Openweight Title match in April. Whether the champion is Chris Brookes or Masahiro Takanashi is nothing for him to worry about here because both of them will be on the other team.

It feels good to type up Kazusada Higuchi’s name in these updates again.

BASARA “BASARA 274 ~UTAGE AKA – HIEN~”, 25/03/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Daiki Shimomura Vs Keisuke Ishii

The two partners challenging for the Iron Fist Tag Titles are going to fight each other first. The only thing Daiki Shimomura and Keisuke Ishii have in common is they’re both from Saitama. They’ll get to learn more about each other by having a match in the ring.

Yuko Miyamoto from 666, Kosuke Sato from Big Japan and Shota Kofuji from Osaka Style Wrestling will both be on the show.

DDT “O-HANAMI PRO WRESTLING 2025 – DAY 1”, 26/03/2025
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage

1. Special Single Match: Takeshi Masada Vs JJ Furno
2. Falls Count Anywhere Blindfold Scramble Bunkhouse Match: Yuki Ueno Vs Danshoku Dieno Vs HARASHIMA Vs Antonio Honda Vs Kazuki Hirata
3. Hanami KING OF DRUNK Preliminary Rumble: Chris Brookes Vs MAO Vs To-y Vs Daisuke Sasaki Vs Masahiro Takanashi Vs Shunma Katsumata Vs Soma Takao Vs Yukio Naya Vs Yuki Ishida

DDT is putting together a competition at this month’s Beer Garden shows called Hanami KING OF DRUNK. It is to determine the No. 1 heavy drinker of springtime. There will be a 9-Man Rumble on the first show where the last three men standing will move on to the final.

For the first time ever there will be a Falls Count Anywhere Blindfold Scramble Bunkhouse Match. We will quickly figure out why there was never one done before this.

DDT “O-HANAMI PRO WRESTLING 2025 – DAY 2”, 27/03/2025
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage

1. Maximum Allowance Of 5,000 Yen For Bringing The Weapons Death Match: Takeshi Masada & Keigo Nakamura Vs Yuni & Munetatsu Nakamura
2. Hanami KING OF DRUNK Hangover 6-Man Tag Match For Losers Of The Preliminary Rumble: X, X & X Vs X, X & X
3. Hanami KING OF DRUNK Final: X Vs X Vs X

The six wrestlers who don’t qualify for the KING OF DRUNK final will be put into a 6-Man Tag so they can all nurse their hangovers together.

There will be a Wrestlers Bring The Weapons Death Match on the undercard. However each wrestler in the match is given a 5,000 yen budget and they cannot spend past it for their weapon of choice.

DDT “CHANGE AGE 2025 ~YOUR LIE IN APRIL~”, 06/04/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Hideki Okatani Return Match: Hideki Okatani Vs X
2. KO-D Openweight Title: Chris Brookes (c) Vs Yuya Koroku

The masked dancer Kumadori is coming back to DDT this April. He made his pro wrestling debut during “ULTIMATE PARTY 2024” at the end of last year with the rest of O-MENZ by his side. Will they all be there with him again?

BASARA “BASARA 275 ~YOKOHAMA MONOGATARI 2~”, 12/04/2025
Yokohama Radiant Hall

1. Iron Fist Tag Team Titles: Ryuichi Sekine & FUMA (c) Vs Daiki Shimomura & Keisuke Ishii

Will Shimomura & Ishii become a well oiled tag team in time to challenge Ryuichi Sekine & FUMA for the belts? Ishii has never held the Iron Fist Tag Titles. FUMA has never directly beaten Ishii so that is why he is giving him this chance at winning the belts.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “QUERI PRESENTS TJPW LIVE IN LAS VEGAS”, 18/04/2025
Pearl Theater At Palms Casino Resort, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA

1. Special Single Match: Masha Slamovich Vs Miu Watanabe
2. International Princess Title: Suzume (c) Vs X
3. Princess Tag Team Titles: Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh (c) Vs X & X
4. Princess Of Princess Title: Mizuki (c) Vs X

The first match is made official for the Las Vegas Tokyo Joshi Pro show. Miu Watanabe is getting another big name foreign opponent by facing Masha Slamovich! I think this match being put together has blown open the possibilities for who will get the title matches on the same show. Whenever Slamovich is booked by TJPW she usually hovers around the champions but here she is getting Watanabe in a big first time matchup. That means Watanabe is also off the table for being in any of the title matches.

DDT “DDT GOES LAS VEGAS!”, 18/04/2025
Pearl Theater At Palms Casino Resort, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA

1. Special Single Match: Antonio Honda Vs Santana Jackson
2. Special Single Match: Shinya Aoki Vs Timothy Thatcher

Two new names are added to the lineup. Konosuke Takeshita will be there and so too will Shunma Katsumata. No mention yet if either will be on the next day’s “DDT VS TJPW VS GCW” show. Katsumata will likely be added but I doubt Takeshita will be there.

SCHADENFREUDE Fighting Each Other, Kasai Vs Itoh, Vegas Getting 3 Princess Title Matches

February 27, 2025

“YOSHIKO HASEGAWA INDEPENDENT PERFORMANCE -YOPPY’S NEXT STAGE-”, 28/02/2025
TOKYO SQUARE In Itabashi

1. Crasher Inoba & Shinyabaito Hashimoto Vs Kurechika Okane & Hiroshi Tanabota
2. 3 Way Match: Erina Yamanaka Vs Riara Vs Imori Annou
3. Kaya Toribami Vs HIMAWARI
4. SAKI & Kakeru Sekiguchi Vs Yuko Sakurai & Rina Amikura
5. Yoshiko Hasegawa Vs Hikari Shimizu

According to Yoshiko Hasegawa herself tomorrow might be the last time she runs an independent wrestling show. She already put one together with with Riara last year after they both left Ganbare☆Pro. She is doing this one on her birthday because it’s her only chance to wrestle Hikari Shimizu before Shimizu’s retirement.

BASARA “BASARA 272 ~TAKAGARI 27~”, 02/03/2025
Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center

1. KUBITO & Yasu Urano Vs Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Ayumu Honda
2. Isami Kodaka & Takato Nakano Vs Daiki Shimomura & Keisuke Ishii
3. Ryuichi Sekine, Takumi Tsukamoto & FUMA Vs SAGAT, Lil’ Kraken & Akira Jo
4. Daichi Kazato Vs Kuishinbo Kamen
5. Union MAX Title: Masato Kamino (c) Vs Ryota Nakatsu

One the last BASARA show Ayumu Honda continued to attack KUBITO to the point where it tried to injure his arm. The two will meet each other again but this time in a tag match with Yasu Urano and Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi also involved. Maybe Hiroshi’s yoga antics can calm everyone down.

DDT “YACCHAINA FIGHT 2025”, 08/03/2025
Yokohama Radiant Hall

1. MAO, Danshoku Dieno & Kazuki Hirata Vs Toru Owashi, Soma Takao & Yukio Naya
2. Daisuke Sasaki & Ilusion Vs Yuni & Yuki Ishida
3. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Jun Akiyama, HARASHIMA & Yuya Koroku Vs Shinya Aoki, Keigo Nakamura & Kazuma Sumi
4. Special Single Match: KANON Vs MJ Paul
5. Special Tag Match: Yuki Ueno & To-y Vs Minoru Suzuki & Akito
6. Road To Judgement 2025! Special Tag Match: Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada Vs Masahiro Takanashi & Antonio Honda

Is SCHADENFREUDE International about to eat itself alive over the KO-D Openweight Title? When the title match takes place both Chris Brookes and Masahiro Takanashi are going to have the fight of their lives. The prelim tag could be a preview of what to expect or perhaps might be the last chance they get to have some fun in the ring together before their big title fight. It looks like Takeshi Masada and Antonio Honda are taking sides already too.

Before KANON can get his hands on Daisuke Sasaki, first he will have to get past MJ Paul.

M&A “SANSHIRO TAKAGI 30TH ANNIVERSARY PROJECT ~MATCHMAKE & AGENT~”, 09/04/2025
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage

1. Special Single Match: Jun Kasai Vs Maki Itoh
2. Special Tag Match: Yuji Nagata & Kuroshio TOKYO Japan Vs Brahman Shu & Brahman Kei

The second match booked for Sanshiro Takagi’s new project will answer the question of who will win in a battle of charisma? Will it be the death match charisma of Jun Kasai or the new era joshi charisma of Maki Itoh?

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “QUERI PRESENTS TJPW LIVE IN LAS VEGAS”, 18/04/2025
Pearl Theater At Palms Casino Resort, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA

1. International Princess Title: Suzume (c) Vs X
2. Princess Tag Team Titles: Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh (c) Vs X & X
3. Princess Of Princess Title: Mizuki (c) Vs X

When Tokyo Joshi Pro said they want their Las Vegas show to be their biggest American event yet they mean it. Not only do they now have a show sponsor but they confirmed all three of their championships will be defended at the show. The card will be put together after “GRAND PRINCESS ’25” has wrapped up and the results on that show will help determine what matches will happen in Vegas.

KO-D 6-Man Tag Titles Vacated, Hirata Might Be Booker Of The Year, Full Cards For Grand Princess & Judgement 2025

February 25, 2025

Today DDT announced the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles have been vacated by DAMNATION T.A. The status of the championship was up in the air since Sunday after KANON was kicked out of the unit. He was one third of the champions along with Daisuke Sasaki & MJ Paul but the situation between them was “deemed difficult” according to DDT for future title defences to be scheduled. A match to determine the 57th champions will be announced as soon as it is decided on. I swear DAMNATION T.A have the weirdest luck with tag team championships. They either lose them immediately or hold onto them long enough for something within them to fall apart.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “THE NIGHT BEFORE GRAND PRINCESS ’25”, 01/03/2025
Tokyo Kitazawa Town Hall

1. Pom Harajuku Vs Uta Takami
2. Miu Watanabe Vs Ivy Steele
3. Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara Vs Kira Summer & Chika Nanase
4. Suzume, HIMAWARI & Shino Suzuki Vs Moka Miyamoto, Yoshiko Hasegawa & Mifu Ashida
5. Mizuki & Arisu Endo Vs Haru Kazashiro & Toga
6. Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh Vs Shoko Nakajima & Kaya Toribami
7. Hyper Misao 10th Anniversary Match: Hyper Misao, Rika Tatsumi & Yuki Aino Vs Raku, Mahiro Kiryu & Haruna Neko

While Hyper Misao is celebrating her 10th Anniversary, Shoko Nakajima gets one more prelim match against 121000000 before their Princess Tag Team Titles match takes place. She’ll be teaming with Kaya Toribami but I don’t know how much of a difference the bird is going to make to be honest.

DDT “YACCHAINA FIGHT 2025”, 08/03/2025
Yokohama Radiant Hall

1. MAO, Danshoku Dieno & Kazuki Hirata Vs Toru Owashi, Soma Takao & Yukio Naya
2. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Jun Akiyama, HARASHIMA & Yuya Koroku Vs Shinya Aoki, Keigo Nakamura & Kazuma Sumi
3. Special Tag Match: Yuki Ueno & To-y Vs Minoru Suzuki & Akito

There will be only one prelim match between Yuki Ueno and Minoru Suzuki before the DDT Universal Title bout. Yokohama will host it just under two weeks before the 28th Anniversary show.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “GARAFES ~KAGAYAKI JAPAN MIDDAY YOUTH SERENADE~”, 09/03/2024
Tokyo Toyosu PIT

1. Maki Itoh Vs Uta Takami
2. Miu Watanabe, Raku & Haru Kazashiro Vs Pom Harajuku, Wakana Uehara & Shino Suzuki

I think this will be the first time Maki Itoh is wrestling at a Garafes mat wrestling event.

DDT “IT’S FINALLY HERE!! KAZUKI HIRATA 15TH ANNIVERSARY COMMEMORATIVE EVENT ~ TALK! 15 YEARS OF HIRATA GO!!”, 12/03/2025
Shinjuku FACE

1. Starting With The Young Communication Generation: Shigehiro Irie, Akito & Shota Vs To-y, Yukio Naya & Keigo Nakamura
2. Staggered Entrance Battle Royal: Chris Brookes Vs Yuya Koroku Vs Yuni Vs Kazuma Sumi Vs Gota Ihashi Vs X
3. Punch-san, I Am Looking Forward To This Tag Match: Danshoku Dieno & Antonio Honda Vs Toru Owashi & Punch Tominaga
4. They’re Back! Zuncha♪Muscle Survivor’s Tearful Reunion!: Shinya Aoki & Naruki Doi Vs Yuki Ueno & Yuki Ishida
5. Crazy Semi-Final!: MAO & Yoshihiko Vs HARASHIMA & Pokotan
6. Talk! 15 Years Of HIRATA GO!! Special 6-Man Tag Match: Kazuki Hirata, Hiromu Takahashi & Keisuke Ishii Vs YO-HEY, Kenshin Chikano & Soma Takao
*Special Referee: Katsumi Tamagawa.

What a load of surprises Kazuki Hirata has in store for everyone. He’s bringing in Hiromu Takahashi for the main event, Yoshihiko and Pokotan will clash against each other, there will be a Zuncha♪Muscle Survivor reunion, Punch Tominaga is getting thrown in with the weird people and he’ll even have a prize for the winner of the Battle Royal that he promises will cheer them up.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “GRAND PRINCESS ’25”, 16/03/2025
Tokyo Ota Ward Gymnasium

1. Yoshiko Hasegawa & Miyu Ashida Vs HIMAWARI & Shino Suzuki
2. Kakeru Sekiguchi, Mahiro Kiryu, Haruna Neko & Ivy Steele Vs Kaya Toribami, Kira Summer, Chika Nanase & Uta Takami
3. Max The Impaler Vs Moka Miyamoto
4. Aja Kong, Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara Vs Yuki Aino, Haru Kazashiro & Toga
5. SETUP All Asia Women’s Title: Pom Harajuku (c) Vs Raku
6. Special Single Match: Willow Nightingale Vs Miu Watanabe
7. Special Single Match: Meiko Satomura Vs Yuki Arai
8. International Princess Title: Suzume (c) Vs Arisu Endo
9. Princess Tag Team Titles: Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh (c) Vs Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao
10. Princess Of Princess Title: Mizuki (c) Vs Rika Tatsumi

This will be the first of three trips to Ota Ward Gymnasium for Tokyo Joshi Pro this year. Meiko Satomura will face Yuki Arai in what may become Satomura’s final appearance in the promotion before her retirement. Raku has challenged Pom Harajuku for the SETUP All Asia Women’s Title and is doing so out of love. Aja Kong is going to cause some destruction again. Moka Miyamoto is going to bounce off of Max The Impaler like a tennis ball being thrown into a wall. Kakeru Sekiguchi returns to TJPW to team with Mahiro Kiryu again and this time she’ll be introduced to Kiryu’s cat Haruna Neko.

DDT “JUDGEMENT 2025 ~28TH ANNIVERSARY 5 HOUR SPECIAL~”, 20/03/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. 3 Way Match: Toru Owashi Vs Antonio Honda Vs Kazuki Hirata
2. Makoto Oishi, Akito & Soma Takao Vs Yukio Naya, Yuya Koroku & Keigo Nakamura
3. Special Tag Match: MJ Paul & Ilusion Vs JJ Furno & Tomomitsu Matsunaga
4. Special Tag Match: Jun Akiyama & Daichi Sato Vs HARASHIMA & Takeshi Masada
5. Special 6-Man Tag Match ~ Kazusada Higuchi & Shunma Katsumata Double Comeback Match: Kazusada Higuchi, Ryota Nakatsu & Yuki Ishida Vs Shunma Katsumata, Yuni & Kazuma Sumi
6. Special Single Match: Daisuke Sasaki Vs KANON
7. KO-D Tag Team Titles: MAO & To-y (c) Vs Fuminori Abe & Takuya Nomura
8. DDT Extreme Title: Danshoku Dieno (c) Vs Super Sasadango Machine
*Special Referee: Amon Tsurumi.
9. DDT Universal Title: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs Minoru Suzuki
10. KO-D Openweight Title: Chris Brookes (c) Vs Masahiro Takanashi

Meanwhile Chris Brookes decided to defend his KO-D Openweight Title against his longtime CDK teammate Masahiro Takanashi. But this is not being done out of love or friendship. The two want to give DDT fans a fight to remember to close out one of the most important shows of the year for the company.

Danshoku Dieno and Super Sasadango Machine are threatening to give everyone the worst match ever for their DDT Extreme Title bout. Hisaya Imabayashi will be turning back into Amon Tsurumi for one night only to officiate the match.

He doesn’t understand why he’s been expelled from DAMNATION T.A but KANON wants to get revenge on Daisuke Sasaki. DDT quickly put together the singles match between them for this show.

It’s planned to be a five hour show but the card still has to be crammed together a little bit. That means Kazusada Higuchi and Shunma Katsumata will make their respective returns from injury in the same match. It’s also a good excuse to have a Harimao Vs NωA Jr. trios match.

DDT “CHANGE AGE 2025 ~YOUR LIE IN APRIL~”, 06/04/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Hideki Okatani Return Match: Hideki Okatani Vs X
2. KO-D Openweight Title: Chris Brookes (c) Vs Yuya Koroku

Whoever comes out of Korakuen as the KO-D Champion in March will return there in April to defend it against the D GENERATIONS CUP winner Yuya Koroku.

KANON was kicked out of DAMNATION T.A to be replaced by the return of Hideki Okatani! He isn’t ready to wrestle again just yet but once April comes around, the world will see what this new version of Okatani will get up to.

-. Keigo Nakamura (2)
-. Yuki Ishida (2)

B Block

1. To-y (4)
2. Kazuma Sumi (2)
-. Yuya Koroku (2)
4. Yuni (0)

The race towards the D GENERATIONS CUP final his getting tighter as more wrestlers gets eliminated from contention. But not everything is set in stone yet. Takeshi Masada defeated Keigo Nakamura to take the lead in Block A and knock Nakamura out of the running. Elsewhere in the group Yuki Ishida avoided losing all of his matches by beating Ilusion in his final bout. Ilusion knocked out the ref before the match began so he could attack Ishida with chairs. Ishida fought back with Sumo Chops and revived the ref so the match could begin. He then used a Sumo Slap to smash a chair right back into Ilusion’s face before pinning him with the Ensho. Block A will now come down to Masada against Ilusion tomorrow. Over in Block B Yuya Koroku kept himself alive by beating Yuni. His match with To-y tomorrow will determine who will go through to the final.

At the end of last month Chris Brookes said he had a list of ten wrestlers who were being considered for the next KO-D Openweight Title shot happening on 20th March. Today he gave an update, telling fans the list has been cut down to five. However he wouldn’t say who is in the list or who was cut off.

Akito was pulled off the show due to illness. Tomomitsu Matsunaga replaced him for Match #4.

D GENERATIONS CUP 2025 Schedule

January 17, 2025

The schedule for this year’s D GENERATIONS CUP has been released. Not only that but the date for the winner’s prize is now known too. The tournament champion will get a KO-D Openweight Title match in April!

Every block match has a 15 minute time limit. The final will have no time limit. Wins are worth 2 points, losses are worth 0 points and most kind of draws are worth 1 point. Any match that ends in a Double Countout or a No Contest will result in both wrestlers getting 0 points. Head-to-head results will be used as a tiebreaker but if that does not work then a sudden death playoff will go ahead.

DDT “KOTATSU FIGHTING 2025” Results

January 11, 2025

DDT “KOTATSU FIGHTING 2025”, 11/01/2025
Yokohama Radiant Hall
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. MJ Paul & Demus defeated Yuki Iino & Yuki Ishida when Demus pinned Ishida with La Valagueza (8:42).
2. Yukio Naya, Keigo Nakamura & Yuya Koroku defeated Daisuke Sasaki, KANON & Ilusion when Nakamura pinned Ilusion with the Modified Crucifix Pin (13:10).
3. Special Single Match: To-y defeated Tomomitsu Matsunaga with the Kojima Impact (10:09).
4. KOTATSU FIGHTING! Special 6-Man Tag Match: Danshoku Dieno, Yuki Ueno & Jun Akiyama defeated Makoto Oishi, Soma Takao & Antonio Honda when Ueno pinned Honda with a Kotatsu-Style Samson Clutch (14:09).
5. Special Single Match: MAO defeated Kazuma Sumi with the Iai Kick (13:55).
6. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Shuji Ishikawa, HARASHIMA & Akito defeated Chris Brookes, Masahiro Takanashi & Takeshi Masada when Ishikawa pinned Takanashi with the Splash Mountain (20:00).

The size and power of Shuji Ishikawa is something SCHADENFREUDE International couldn’t beat today. Having HARASHIMA & Akito by Ishikawa’s side helped too but the key moment happened when he blocked the Praying Mantis Bomb and then Back Body Dropped Chris Brookes into his own partners. He then pinned Masahiro Takanashi with the Splash Mountain. Ishikawa told the fans he was advised by one of the referees not to sing today if he won. His desire to sing along with his desire to beat Brookes are what powered him up today. He also decided to call his team Smile Squash 2025. Both HARASHIMA & Akito were just as suprised as everyone else when he said that. Backstage Antonio Honda told Brookes if he can overcome Ishikawa he will become an even better KO-D Openweight Champion. Meanwhile Takeshi Masada promised to win the D GENERATIONS CUP for the second time.

The night before this show MAO asked the Grok AI program to predict how his match with Kazuma Sumi would turn out. He was left confused when the AI said he had a finishing move called the Ultra Big Tone. MAO was able to win the match but didn’t use that move because he doesn’t know what it is. He can kind of picture it though so it is now up to him to figure out what the Ultra Big Tone will be! To-y wonders if it involves a destructive ray of some kind? Sumi said there is still a week to go before the KO-D Tag Team Titles match so if there is even a 1% chance he can beat MAO he will take that chance.

It was a cold day so two kotatsu tables were set up in the ring for Match #4. The wrestlers who would usually stand in their corner waiting to tag in were instead allowed to sit under their kotatsu. Eventually the tables and covers were used as weapons as the match heated up. Yuki Ueno ended up using a Samson Clutch on Honda to pin him beneath one of the tables to win the match. With this match Ueno learned that a kotatsu can calm the mind but it also lowers your fighting ability. He also blamed Jun Akiyama for breaking one of the tables.
