The rivalry between the rebel group Kongoh, led by Kenoh (35) and The Sugiura Army, led by Takashi Sugiura (49) was broadcast on the 3rd, when a fierce battle took place.

Six wrestlers from each unit participated in the event. After six singles matches in the first half, a "six versus six elimination match" was held in the second half.

The Sugiura Army first had the advantage.
20 years and two days have passed since the legendary Royce Gracie match, and the "IQ Wrestler" Kazushi Sakuraba (50), defeated Yoshiki Inamura (27), who weighs 26 kilograms, with the jujitsu technique "Delahiba foot lock." The Sugiura had won the singles matches with 3 wins, 2 losses and 1 draw due to time limit expiring.
Sakuraba said, "This is the frontline technique of grappling, and I wondered if it would work on a big opponent".

In turn, Kongoh showed their willpower in the main event elimination match. The five other members of each unit dropped out, and at the end it came down to a fight between Kongoh's head, Kenoh, and Sakuraba. After a violent exchange of sharp kicks etc, at the end Kenoh used force to crush Sakuraba's triangle choke, and took the 3 count.

With a sidelong glance at Sakuraba, who is not satisfied with the circumstances, Kenoh said "We, Kongoh will continue to defeat The Sugiura Army. There might be less entertainment now, but watch us. Watch Pro Wrestling Noah, who is alive!"

Since the counter attack can be said to have been an eye for an eye, the battle between the two units is likely to become more intense.
