6. Special Single Match: Yuji Nagata Vs Shinya Aoki ended in a Time Limit Draw (30:00).

Thirty minutes wasn’t enough to determine a winner between Yuji Nagata and Shinya Aoki. The two of them were both thanked by Sanshiro Takagi afterwards for giving everyone a wonderful match and Nagata in particular confirmed that Takagi was right to make him the ace of Super Japan. Takagi then made a request to Nagata. He will be officially back wrestling again in November and he would like to wrestle Nagata on the final Super Japan show of the year. It will take place on 29th December and Takagi will team with Munenori Sawa while Nagata will get to choose his own partner. That idea brought Kuroshio TOKYO Japan and Fuminori Abe to the ring both volunteering to team with Nagata. Takagi expected something like this would happen so he suddenly brought Jun Kasai into the ring to make this situation a 6-Man Tag Match! Kasai said exciting things can happen when two people with nothing in common get together. However he then pointed out that both he and Nagata do salutes in their matches. Takagi said this match will determine which wrestler’s salute is the real deal!

The tag team of Suwama & Yuki Kamifuku was called Team Shonandai since both of them are from Fujisawa City. They figured they were too powerful for the Up Town team of Kuroshio & Momoka Hanazono to handle. They were proven right. In fact Suwama was so powerful that he ended up making both his opponents and also Kamifuku cry, which led to him apologizing. The other three all kicked him to get some payback but Suwama got back on the same page with Kamifuku to do an Assisted Famouser onto Hanazono for the finish.

Gym Trainer Kotoka lived up to his name by having a full on gym trainer gimmick urging Mac Matsushita to exercise properly. He also held kick training pads and used them to block Fuminori Abe’s kicks before using them as a weapon on both Abe & Bryan Ishizaka.

The match between Mio Shirai and DJ Nira turned into a tragedy. Nira grabbed his umbrella and threatened to use it as a weapon until suddenly he turned it on himself and stabbed his own stomach! The referee check on Nira and when he couldn’t sense any life in him, he too committed seppuku next to the body! Shirai tried to revive the both of them and when she couldn’t, she committed seppeku as well. The lights in the room then switched off. After a few seconds, a lone spotlight shined in the ring showing Antonio Honda wearing a diaper and behaving like a baby being born.

Takagi’s return to the ring is not officially happening until “ULTIMATE PARTY 2025” but the opening match was an exhibition bout for him to shake off his ring rust. He lost to Sawa in 28 seconds. The result made one person in the crowd particularly mad. It was the DDT GM Hisaya Imabayashi and he was furious to get this match for the money he spent on his ticket! He called Takagi a conman and ordered a rematch to begin despite having no authority in Super Japan. The restart went ahead and Takagi brawled with Sawa around the venue. Takagi sprayed a fire extinguisher that ended up knocking out the referee. Imabayashi got back on the microphone and ordered the timekeeper to pause the stopwatch until the referee regained consciousness. Meanwhile Sawa tricked Takagi to repeatedly run the ropes back and forth until he ran out of energy. Once Takagi was tired, Sawa put him in the O-Manjigatame and held on for the recovered referee to see Takagi tap out. After the match Takagi announced the 29th December booking, calling it the final episode of Super Japan’s first season.

The 29th December show will also reunite MIKAMI and Takashi Sasaki as a DDT Legend Tag Team. Takagi reminded both of them that when they created DDT, NOSAWA Rongai originally suggested they call the company Super Japan but they all rejected it and came up with Dramatic Dream Team instead. This spin-off exists to see what would have happened if they went with Super Japan so Takagi wondered what if MIKAMI & Sasaki were a tag team here instead of being the rivals they were in DDT? Sasaki agreed because he likes the nostalgic vibe that on Super Japan shows that reminds him of old DDT. MIKAMI said there is a drama in their history that fans of today might not understand so he is enthusiastic to see where this idea goes.

Back in March former Dragon Gate wrestler Kotoka reemerged after a multiple year long absence away from the ring to be a part of Kazuki Hirata’s 15th Anniversary show. Then he sort of disappeared again but now he’s back to wrestle on a Super Japan show. Wrestling hasn’t been his priority in years because he has a career managing many, many gyms across Tokyo and Osaka (he currently has 24 gyms according to his Instagram account) so he is now going to use the name Gym Leader Kotoka, at least for this match. Kotoka will be part of a “Dragon Gene” tag team with Mac Matsushita to take on the super indie tag team of monk wrestler Fuminori Abe and Filipino wrestler Bryan Ishizaka.

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

1. Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara (c) Vs Yuna Manase & Toga
2. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) Vs Yuki Aino

It’s all new champions across Tokyo Joshi Pro and two of them have defences lined up for the October Korakuen Hall show. Miu Watanabe is putting the newly won Princess Of Princess Title on the line against Yuki Aino in order to see how much passion Aino can bring to the match.

Yuna Manase & Toga were already the next challengers for the Princess Tag Team Titles and now they will face Ober Eats instead of Kyoraku Kyomei. The dynamic to watch out for here is how Yuki Kamifuku and Yuna Manase will fight each other. They used to team together as Cat’s Pye and one of Kamifuku’s failed attempts to win the tag titles came from that team.

*Special Referee: Katsumi Tamagawa

In 2020 Kazuki Hirata planned to put together a show to celebrate the 10th anniversary of his debut match. Sadly he had to shelve the idea due to the pandemic and waited around for five years so he could have an appropriate occassion to finally run the show. What better time to do that than this week with the 15th anniversary approaching the horizon? Hirata went ahead an invited close friends of his from across the wrestling scene to put the event together. The main event was a wealth of Jr. Heavyweights from different companies gathering together to celebrate Hirata. There was Hiromu Takahashi from New Japan, YO-HEY from NOAH, Keisuke Ishii from Ganbare☆Pro, Kenshin Chikano from Dove Pro and Soma Takao from DDT all joining Hirata in the main event. Hirata’s old Kobe classmate Katsumi Tamagawa got involved too as the referee.

Hirata almost felt left out in his own main event so he pleaded with Takahashi to tag him in so he could get the victory himself. He fought to use the Hirata GO! glasses but came to the realization he doesn’t want to dance on his own anymore. Takahashi & Ishii assured him they would join in and they all put on the glasses. Even the other team found their own pairs and joined in for the big finale. Hirata then purposely singled out YO-HEY & Chikano because today will be the last time all three of them will be fighting each other in the ring. They fought to a stalemate, leading to Takao getting tagged in. He gave Hirata the Perfect Driver but the pin got broken up. Takahashi hit Takao with the Hiromu Bomber, Ishii followed up with the Kneel Kick and Hirata scored the pinfall with the Egoist Driver.

This was an unusual position for Hirata to be in so he asked the other wrestlers to talk first after the match. Takahashi said he knows Hirata the least out of everyone in the group but Hirata was the first wrestler he’s ever beaten and that was a turning point for his career. He also brought up what a great memory their match at Sumo Hall was back in November 2023. He still doesn’t understand what the rules were that day but he remembers Chris Jericho praising it. He’s had many moving matches with many wrestlers but that one has stuck with him the most. Ishii told Hirata they’ve been friends since their trainee days. Things may have changed a bit as the years have gone on and Ishii became Hirata’s senior but he thanked him for letting him join his team today. Hirata said it took 15 years for all of these dots to connect together. Good things will happen to him if he keeps going so he is glad to have become a pro wrestler.

For a show that was meant to all fun and games for everybody it took a very dangerous turn in the semi-main event. Heat between Pokotan and Yoshihiko led to them fighting each other from the get go. MAO joined in and the fight went outside the ring. MAO & Yoshihiko would then give Pokotan a double chairshot near the entranceway, causing the mascot to get busted open! Back in the ring Yoshihiko worked over HARASHIMA until Pokotan returned with a chair. Pokotan and Yoshihiko had a tug of war over the chair, accidentally knocking out Yukinori Matsui when the chair was thrusted into him. MAO attacked Pokotan with an umbrella then handed it over to Yoshihiko. Their attack backfired when Yoshihiko charged, Pokotan jumped out of the way and the umbrella stabbed straight through MAO’s stomach! More chaos happened that ended with HARASHIMA accidentally hitting Pokotan with the Somato, causing the mascot’s head to fall off. MAO & Pokotan did an Iai Kick/Canadian Destroyer for a nearfall and then won with the Double Rainmaker to Pokotan.

Things were a little bit rusty for the return of Zuncha♪Muscle Survivor. There was a moment when Shinya Aoki kicked Naruki Doi by accident but they were then attacked by the other team before anything could go further. Zuncha♪Muscle Survivor were able to regroup and get the win in the end.

Hirata promised the winner of the Battle Royal would get a special prize that he promised would cheer them up. Chris Brookes took advantage of a mistake Yuya Koroku made to knock him out of the ring. Maku Donaruto showed up as one of the surprise entries and he ended up chasing Yuni out of the ring. An even more unexpected surprise appeared when the last entrant turned out to be Kotoka, the Dragongate wrestler who retired back in 2018! Brookes was happy to see him because he was a big fan of his but that didn’t stop Kotoka from eliminating him. Kotoka then went on to win the match and Hirata’s special prize. It was one of Hirata’s old wrestling outfits. The trunks, the kneepads, the wristguards and everything. Kotoka didn’t want them and threw it all out of the ring.

Hirata’s special day meant he wasn’t the one losing a match in under 10 seconds like he usually does. That happened to Antonio Honda instead. Before the match restarted, Hisaya Imabayashi warned everyone that Punch Tominaga can be really scary and his promotion Dragongate does not allow dirty humour. That didn’t stop Danshoku Dieno because he still pulled his own wrestling tights down to “Open The Dream Gate”. Tominaga joined in the dirty jokes by using Dieno’s Dream Gate to charge him up but Dieno ran out of energy. Tominaga then ordered Imabayashi to get in the same position and joined him. While that happened, Honda was pinned by Toru Owashi to end the match leaving Tominaga frozen in an awkward position.
